In the afternoon of Tuesday, May 10th, 
a fire broke out at Dover, in the warehouses 
of Messrs. Fector, and Co. adjoining the ordi- 
Nance storehouses and buildings, through the 
carclessness of some people employed in coc- 
peting some casks of turpentine throwing the 
snuff of a lighted candle on the floor, which 
caught some oakum thac had been wetted 
with turpentine : it was prevented bla- 
zing for some time by about 120 bags of 
wool in a loft ever where the fire com- 
menced; but the flames having at Jengtn 
reached many casks of turpentine,it burst for'h 
with a fury which nothing could resist. The 
whole range of storehouses of Messrs. Fector, 
which ironted the York-house, were entirely 
destroyed, with a very large qvantity ef prize 
goods taken from the Danish ships; the 
ordnance storehouse at the back of the store- 
keeper's house is also entirely consumed, 
and many o! the adjoining buildings much 
injured. A Greek ship at the quay was also 
_ damaged. Some of the adjoining buildings 
were depositories for Mr. Congreve’s rockets 
and cther combustibles, which could not all 
be got out, and several explosions took place, 
the last of which carried away the roof 
of the buildings, and caused great alarm. No 
further damage was however done, and the 
fire was got under between eight and nine in 
the evening. The Joss is supposed to ex- 
ceed 30,0001.

[June }, 
Mr. Samual Jones, 82. His habits and man- 
rer of living were curious and eccentric, 
and he was remarkable for his penurious 
economy. Frem the humble situation of a 
gentleman’s coachman, he rose to the pos= 
session of a large fortune, and accumulated 
the sum of twenty-seven thousand pounds, 
by denying himself the enjoyments of life, 
and by observing the most exact and rigid 
avarice through every day of his life. By 
his will he has bequeathed his property to a 
number of poor relations, ‘to whom ik hig 
lire he paid no attention ; but who, if he had 
been a man of liberal mind, with a heart as 
bountiful as his means, might have flourished, 
and-have become the means of enlarging his 
pleasures and respectability. A niece, with a 
large family, to whom he left 2000]. died at 
Maidstone a few days a.ter him. 
At Canterbury, Mrs Walton, ‘wife of 
Captain W. of the 4th Queen’s own dragoons. 
The circumstances attending the death of 
this unfortunate lady are peculiarly distress- 
ing. _She was in a room on the fourth story, 
where she had lately been confined, and 
while in the act of throwing up the th of 
the window, was precipitated through the 
aperture, and fell a height of forty feet on the 
pavement below. Tire effect of the fall was 
a fracture of the skullto a considerable ex- 
tent, and a concussion of the brain, which tere 
minated her life ina few hours. It is con- 
jectured, that the sash rose with so much rae 
pidity that she lost her hold, and from the sill 
of the window not being knee high (barely 
eight inches from the “floar of the room) 
there was no stay to prevent her fall. It is 
not improper here to remark on the ridicu- 
lous impropriety of constructing windows of 
bedchambers in this manner, or indeed of 
any rooms, without a proper guard to prevent 
a similar accident. Mrs. W. was a most 
amiable woman, in the prime of life and 
health, and had but just recovered from her. 
lying-in, when she was thus momentarily 
from an infant and a husband, 
whose feelings on the melanchol ly event may 
be better conceived than described. i
