highly gratifying, as this institution provides for a number of objects, who might, if not protected, become unworthy members of society.

31st. A fire broke out in a house in Goat-court, Queen-street, Horsley-down. The wife of one Redner, a corn-porter, who resided in the house, went from home a few minutes before the accident happened, leaving a girl about four years old behind her. The flames were soon extinguished, without having done any material injury; but when the firemen burst into the apart. ment, they discovered the little girl burnt to death, stretched upon the floor, from whence it was concluded, her cloaths had caught fire, and communicated to the room.

The same evening, about eight o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the stable of Messrs. Travers and Esdaile, in Queen-street, Cheapside. It was discovered by the clerks, who perceived an unusual quantity of smoke issuing through the flooring of the warehouse, immediately over the stables, while in the act of shutting up and securing the doors. Incalculable mischief must have followed, but for the immediate attendance of the fire-engines; and there also being an ample supply of water, in about four hours the fire was got under. When the stabledoor was opened, four of the millhorses and a goat were found suffocated, lying on the ground, two of the horses were lying over each other, and the goat across both. It is supposed to have originated from a candle having been carelessly left in a lanthorn.
