CALAMITOUS FIRE AT BRISTO...
CALAMITOUS F11ts AT BfRISToL._Vrry Soo1 after 1I o'clock on Friday evening the sbhop of Air. Baser, bookseller, No. 19, Clare-street, was discovered so completely filed with flaes as to leave but very faint hopes of even limiting the destruction to those premises, surrounded by, and contiguous to, shops, warchout^ and of Eces, on all sides. The several warehouses of llears. Ur4der. wood, above, aud Mtr. Tuckett, below, were repeatedly an fire; -wige the office of this paper was, mere than once, so completely eavelone by the flames, and ignited at so may points, that its rescue mute,be considered as ose of the aost signal proofs of unweari;d psever. ance, skill, and intrepidity, in our knowledge. T4t alacrity end kindness with which, at a mnoment of peculirr ?resswre to theswelves (the very eve of publication), the proprietors of Ftir ParZe . eel, and the Bristol Mfirror, detached every Poable aid to tEeirun- tortanate contemporary, with the erertion on she part of their men, joined with those of our own establishment, are no less gratifving to the best feelings of humanity than it mulst be to those who can more immediately appreciate the sacrifice amd cost of such an offering to disinterestedness and feeling. It is with some Dride that we inform our readers, that h2d the calafnity been still wider in itb ralages, we need not for an instant have delayed our publication ; and it is with infinitely 'reater and mnore exulted feeling, that we should have been so enabled from. the continued kindness of the gentlemen ahegey al- luded to. To our friends of the Bristol Gazet& we oweequal at- knowledgment. The exertions of the firemen left nothing luatticao ble unaccomplished; but we must, in personalgratitutde, bear evi- dence to the unremitting aad judicious conduct of the eDgineer of the Bristol Union-ofifice (Barrow), to whichi w very considerablr attribute our escape fron total destruction. The utter loss of every thing in the shop and preniises occupied by Mr.FEsex, together%wit serious injury sustained by Mr. Underwood and Mir. Tuckett. inr dependent of our own, render this visitation one of the most severe calamities Brsitol lias experienced for many years-Bristol.fercrg,. A pitched battle for a sovereign, and to decide a wraii- gle, took place on Monday morning, in Copenhagen-fields, between Smith, a driver of one of the Xentish-towu stages. and Will thr. waterman, at the Blue Posts in Holborn. The battle lasted nbtz}t two hours, but the first hour was occupied ir, a tri-l of str_ngth rather than hitting. At the latter part of the combzt, S Sraittx re. ceired heavily abott the body, and was t3iimatelv beat so as to 1e unable to walk off the ground. He was conveyed hcmne' in a bad state, and died in two hours after.
