FIRES. About three o'clock on W ednesday morning, a fire broke not the Plough Inn, etaphato, which spread itself from the tip room upwards with such rapidity, as scarcely to give time fir the escape of the inmates. l'wn or three gentlemen. who ILO taken up their abode at the inn for the night, narrowly escaped. One of them, in bed up two pair of stairs, Muting, his retreat cut off by the staircase being on fire, called for assistance from his bedroom window, and fortunately a ladder was brought him, sod he was saved front destruction. A Mr. 1. was placed 111 a still more perilous situation; he slept in the rue pair, and in the coatiptiou which took place the people of the house forgot to awake lihn. At length he was roused by the crackling noi-e of the fire miderneath his bed, which he at brat supposed to In rain violently driven against the windows.; but immediately Mina annoyed by the smoke, he rushed out 01 the room with part 01 his clothes in his hand, and was just in time to save his life. The family about the same lime wens appiised of their danger ; at ii as the landbird had eight or nine children, it required ereat exertion and considerable risk to preserve the is of all, in which, however, he fortunately biwereded The fire, being aided by the spirits, rased with sue- fury as to resist every effort to get it under, until the whole premises were consumed. What adds to the calamity is, the yolk eeper in the hurry of business had omitted to renew the .itranee of his property as usual, and is therefore lett in a destitute situatitm, with a wife and a numerous family. Se veral adjoining buildings would pi obahly hat e shared the same fate, had it not hems fur a prompt and ample supply of water. The paper-mills of Messrs.

MESUItE, Chronometer and Watch-maker, in con sequence of the great scarcity of Bullion, and the exorbitant price of Gold. has been induced to produce, by long labour and study, a substi tute, which he has denominated PEI IT-011: this important discovery has been sanctioned by the most flattering marks of public approbation. The PETIT-OR approximates so nearly to Gold, and possesses so much of its quality, that the difference can scarcely be observed by the niost curious inspector. It has an unrivalled richness of colour; is susceptible of an incom parable lustre of polish, and nut being so ductile as gold in some re alm:is. is not so easily despoiled of its beauty by scratches; yet, in others, it yields to the force of the hanuner, and may be moulded into any form. It is particularly adapted for Watch-cases, Snuff-boxes, and all sorts of Jewellery, for which gold is at present employed. As it utrnishis sooner than Gold, it requires that care which Gold does not; but every time it is cleaned, it will reasver its original lustre and colour. A. YI ESU R Is:, sole inventor and proprietor of PET T-0 li, respect- Ilzlly the Public, that he has removed his Manufactory from Craven-Buildings. to Cm, Strand. opposite the Atlclphi, where lie has on sale a large assortment of Watches of descriptions, with cases made of his incomparable PETIT-Olt ; lie pledrs himself, that if any Watches with his name , sold by hint, sould not be found to perform wall. they shall be rectified, free of any expense, during the corers: oT a whole year, provided the fault may not proceed front any unfair usage or accident; also Gold and Silver Chronometers, for Sea and 'Pocket ; Carp' d, Jewelled, Horizontal, Duplex, Going Fuzee, and Plain Watches, all warranted as above ; likewise all sorts of Gold Jewellery.

Nerk-Ohaitts, Thimbles, Combs, and a vari.ty of Ladies' Ornatntaiv. Of Plate, Table, Des sert, 'tea and Egg Spoons, Tea and Cream Pots, Sugar-Tongs, and Snuffers : the Egg Spoons do not lose their colour in the Eggs as Silver does, nor has the acid of Fruit any effect on the Dessert Kr.ives.
