BATTLE.—There was another fire at Battle on the 26th, at
Course- barn Farm. The flames first burst from the barn, which was saved when the fire occurred on the 4th instant, upon the same premises. When the flames burst forth on that occasion, a man was thrashing in the barn ; and in the last instance, about ten minutes after another man had left the barn, to get his noontide meal, it was discovered to be on fire. It being impossible to save the building or its contents, the efforts of the assistants were directed to the neighbouring stacks ; one of beans was speedily removed, and a considerable quantity of a wheat-stack saved. Several ringleaders of mobs have been taken and brought to Battle in the course of last week.
ARUNDEL.—On Sunday evening, a wheat-rick belonging to Mr. George Oliver, of Kingston, was discovered to be on fire, and was nearly all consumed. The farm is situated near the station of the Coast Blockade, who were speedily on the spot; and exerted themselves suc- cessfully in extinguishing the flames.
