Yesterday a fire broke out in three different parts of the new rope-house in the Dock yard. It began about half after four in the afternoon, and raged with great violence till about nine o'clock, when it deadened a little, but was not quite extinguished till this morning.

The building is supposed to have been wilfully set on fire, as the men never work in it by candle-light, and had that day left off by half after two o'clock.

One of the carpenters was taken out of a window hanging by his leg and arm; and put under confinement on suspicion.
