LANCASHIRE. , 
Manchester.—There have been three fail- 
ures of cotton speculators here within afew 
days; one owiag about £10,000, another 
about £25,000, and the third nearly £50,000. 
The best composition proposed in any of the 
eases is 5s. in the pound, and the lowest, 
Is. or 1s, 3d.; two of the parties have failed 
before under circumstances pretty similar. 
- At Liverpool, the bonded warehouses are 
so crammed with cotton, that, there being 
no accommodation for a cargo which arrived 
lately, the consignees were under the neces- 
_ sity of paying the duty, and the cottons 
were lodged in private warehouses, 
Sept. 28.—About three o’clock in. the 
afternoon, a destructive fire broke out in the 
warehouse of Mr. Anderson, merchant, on 
the south side of Lord-street, Liverpool, 
whose premises were mostly uninsured. 
After having been, for some time, apparently 
extinguished, it spread into the shops of 
Mr. Hewitt, a trunk-manufacturer, and that 
of Messrs. Barlow, woollen-drapers, which 
form the ground-floor of the premises; and 
about three o’clock in the afternoon the 
smell of fire caused a fresh alarm to the 
inmates: on proceeding to the warehouse, 
in which were a great quantity of cotton, 
corn and provisions, it was found that the 
premises were actually in flames. The 
shops above named were not materially 
damaged, and no lives were lost. 
On Wednesday, Oct. 12, a fire broke 
out at Scarisbrick Hall, Liverpool, which 
threatened destruction to the whole of that 
ancient pile of building, but fortunately 
the main part of the building was saved. 
“On Wednesday night, Oct. 12, about 
~ ten o’clock,the Severn warehouse, at Knott- 
mill, occupied by Mr. Samuel Briddon, 
__ was discovered to be on fire.

CHESHIRE. 
Destructive fire at Stockport.—A fire broke 
out lately in the cotton-mill of Mr. Hope, 
which raged with violence, and it was with 
difficulty that the work-people escaped. 
Qne of the men had a narrow escape:—he 
had been employed jn letting down a num- 
ber of children through the windows, by 
means of leathern straps; and immediately 
after his leaving the room the flooring gave 
way. The whole building was reduced to a 
heap of ruins, and was uninsured. 
Chester is one of the most singularly 
built towns in England, the four main 
streets being excayated in the rock the depth 
of an_entite story below the level of the 
ground, and having galleries or porticoes on 
each side for foot passengers, beneath which 
are the shops and warehouses: The. Castle 
was originally erected in the time of the 
Conqueror, and comprizes an extensive 
armoury with nearly 40,000 stand of arms.

time, was at length detected, it being dis- 
coyered that her daughter was in the habit 
of conveying her food daily, and concealing 
it. under the bed-clothes. At the Castle;
