OXFORDSHIRE. 
About half past eleven o "clock, on’, the 
night of Friday the 3d of March, the great: 
quadrangle of Christ Church College, Oxiord, 
This. accicent,is 
supposed to have originated from some sparks 
communicating to a beam which ran across 
the chimney, . The.alarm was immediately 
given by the sounding of the Grea: Tom 
bell, and in the space of an hour most of the 
engines in Oxford were assembled. The con- 
flagration was awful, resisting tor a long time 
the attacks of the numerous engines that were 
brought into play, consuming in a fex hours 
tke greatest part of the south east angle, and 
threatening with destruction the most magni- 
ficent room of the kind in Englana, Fortu- 
nately, however, the night was calm, and 
there wasa plentiful supply of water, other- 
wise it would have been impossib.e to have 
preserved the Hall trem the ravages of the 
fire.—About five o’clack on Saturday morn- 
_ ing the flames were diminished, out not until 
past seven were they entirely extinguished. 
The estimate of the loss is 12,0001. dhe 
principal sufferer is Dr. White, caion ot Christ 
Church, and Hebrew professor; the whole of 
whose furniture and library (including several 
valuable ortental MSS.) were entirely. con- 
sumed. 
Daring this ebeantins another fire broke 
out at Mr. Hovgkin’s, Lee Farm, in this 
county. It burst out ina hen- Tgusty in a 
spacious farm-yard, and communicated to the 
stables, over which a man and a boy were 
sleeping, who were both barat. About 20 
tead of cattle were also destreyed, together 
» with several ricks of corm and hay, but the 
» dwelling-house was preserved,
