Jimes Wetherill, convictet at thie late Lncoln assizes for the murder of M r. Nil. Berridge, at Hri.%4, and senrencedto be executed on Friday last, has received a respite for a flrtnight. It aupears; that he cut his throat in priS,on sinec his cocric:tin, bet is expected to recover from that. The respite has been granted on the report of the surgeons, that if attetnpted to he executed now, h is sufferings would be greatly protracted, as he would be able to inspire atmespheric air by the orifice whichl he has madc in the windi.pipe. Upwards of a fortnight ago, a great shoal of r.ack@rel came on this coast, and have since continued with increaed num- bers, so that this week, in particular, this bay has been litera'lv co- rered with them. The white flihers have cauteht them in great abundance, but have found nothing else on their lines with which to supplv our market, she haddocks, whitinins. and almost everv other kind of fish having in consequence di%appeared.-Atcrdce11 C'hronicle. DiSTRFsstrG FIRE.-On Moinasy afternoon, ahout two o'clock, an alarminsg fire broke out at North Elmhainm. Norfolk, oc- casioned by some flig.ashes being left in a shed. The fire commnu- nicated to an old i:arm-house, beloigint to AIT. Enitlebught. which ha-s been lately occupied in three teneents, and which was soo n cossumed, togetlier with three other dwcllines near, belonging to Mr. Griggs. By this sudden calaniitv seven families. monsiseing of 37 persons, are rendered houseless. No part of the prcmises was in. sured. 'i'he furniture, bed(ling, &c. of the suffierers, were conveye-d to the Hall, where .Mr. Alilies v.ry humnanelv gave thein a good *up. per, and pennitted them to rest thereo-that night. A Venetian7, wlio died not long since, made a provisiol: of torches for his funeral, artifici,ally loaded with crackers, aitici- pating, to a contidential frienzd, the hubbub that would result from the explo0sion, vlhich lid hal calculartel must take tlace in the most iaeonvenient s"ots. Thig posthurnous joke verifieti the most san. guine expectations of its ptojeetor.
