AWFUL CONFLAGRATION.-DESTRUCTION OF SIX FARMS. • • - CAMBRIDGE, Amur. tr. ifinesda evening, about nine o'clock, a most dreadful fileiritke out at the village of Over, in this' couniy, . which, {or rapidity and extent of damage, has not been acetified in the neighbourhood in the memory of the •ohlest.inhabitant. It was first seen by a young man and woman, liping from a crevice between a cart hovel and a bon, belonging .to Mr. 13icheno, situate in Unwytes lane, and is feared to have been the work of an incen- &try ., as limn the confined situation of the place, it is impit t .sible a 1;g) t could have . been accidentally there. At tliO moment of discovery the body of fire appeared uov.largev thin a man's hat, but in an instant, and be fore an•itlarm could be given, the barn was one entire blaz“,and being filled with newly-ho use d gra i n, i t . raged ith dreadful fury, communicating not only to the buildings -right and left, but to the rick yard of Mr. Few, on the opposite side of the lane. In a few minuses the entire range .Of buildings and ricks on, both sides of 'the lane were on fire ; the flames, Neying on dried corn, rose mountains high, threaten ing destruction to . the whole town, and spreading tetror. throughout the neighbouring country. Not an engine was at hand ; at length one arrived from the adjoining parish, but instead of Its being employed to, prevent the fire communicating to other buildings, it was run imto the very centre of Unwyn's-lane, and there being water at hand, it was promptly brought to play upon t barn o filled with corn, but th e e ff ort was un :trailing, and fraught with danger. The roof gave way, etwd 7 ibe .bussing thatch eliding outwards, enveloped the engine, end. with difficulty - the persons woe king it **fled theasselves from their perilous - situation; bated* engine was consumed. As soon as the fire was obo r Oo t t at Cambridge, Mr: 'Elliot Smith, who is spent for the Norwich Union, dispatched the engine tcrthai CoMpany in the direction of the fire,' which, was quickly followed by that belonging to 4be - Carnbridge sand Hertford Insuranie Company. The Notwioh -engine imthediately .proteeded to Mr. Few's ferns, tied although all hope was at an end as to saving the dwelling house,yet,by prompt exertions,it succeeded, undei the direction of Mr. Smith and_ the engineer, in preventing the fire from reaching a large barn filled with barley ; and preserving a small rick-yard, con taining a wheat-rick and two hay-stacks. We have stated that the fire had extended right and left, and that it had communicated with some tenements is front of the town, and street belonging toMr.llicheno,These were quickly reduced to ashes; but while they were cotton m- Jog, rt api eau its devouring ravages to the !wise and him yard a Mr. Tho mas Gifford,which terminated the line of street'. in that direction ; of these scarcely a vestige,. saving fhb blackened foundation walls, remains; furni ture; farming implements, corn, hay, all—all was de stroyed —We should be happy it we could here close the melancholy recital, but a more lengthened cata logiie remains' to be told. Thewidth of the street proved an insufficient barrier for the protection of property on the other side of the way, and the farm yard and premises of Messrs. Silk, Goode, `hld Inglis, together with the intermediate tenements, were successively and almost simultaneously in a blaze. At this moment the scene was most awful. The closely compacted buildings, and ricks, occu pying an area o£. about ten acres, and containing the produce of about two thousand acres of fertile land, formed one mighty column of fire, ascending almost to the Heavens, and scattering brilliant showers of sparks in every direction. The utmost -confusion now pre- . ; each man seemed intent on saving his own pro perty, and while the houses already on fire were left to their fate, almost every tenement in that part of the town was emptied of its furniture, the goods were con veyed to the fields, as the only place of security, for even the orchards in many places were on fire. It is some consolation that there has been no loss of lives on this melancholy occasion; a single head of cattle has been alone sacrificed ; but nearly the whole of the property, furniture, farming implements, hay and corn, contained in the above-mentioned p re mi s e s , have been destroyed. The loss is estimated in buildings at 12,000/. and in implements and produce at 15,0001. Fortunately none of the beans were carried. At one period, the greatest fears were entertained for the safety of Mr. James lnglis's farm. The fire had already communicated to one , of the ricks, but the Hertford and Cambridge engine was immediately brought to play upon it, and to the prompt exertions of Mr. Newby the preservation of the farm may be ascribed. Ail Reasoners on Political Science agree that the least objectionable Taxes are those that bear more upon luxuries than necessaries, and which are in the nature rather of voluntary than compulsory taxation. Our Excise Duties, although very pro. ductive, have snore to do with articles of luxury than of necessity ; and however some persons, who reason but superficially on sub jects, may murmur against Ministers for this or that duty, it is wisdom in Government is repeal taxes of compulsion before they meddle with those of a voluntary nature; and this brings us to question the policy of Ministers in abolishing Lotteriel, which, we are informed, have afforded to the Revenue upwards of Four lion. dreg! Thousand Pounds a year, and that quite voluntary on the part of the Public. In the present state of the country, surely some equivalent, but compubosy Tax must be substituted tormlist adt Ix lost to the lteirtnur.ocuitc lll4 . , Ckztassis, ' I rk" is P e- It lytorily guttered that all, Leuegrie. plat WIG Cos ever. ASSIZSANTELLIGENCE. liiAlfls'lbNß, Ana, 9. THE tINO 9.. I TIRSDOIR AND ANOTNIEN. This was an indicttnent for an assault and false I . M , paisoninent.. The case, in itself, Was net of general refit. portance, - but it gave rise to a discussion upon . Mn Peel's late Act for facilitating proceedings in criminal, Cases (7 Geo. IV. c: s. 20), which occasioned the point to.be reserved for the consideration of the Judges. The case was then tried on the mains, and in the result, the defendants were found Gtally. ' : • The business of t h e C rown s id e f i nished this evening. Nemiket the capital convicts were left for execution. • - Joseph Finn who was convicted on Monday of send; ing threatening letters to a gentleman named Gregory, demanding money at the.peril of being murdered, was sentence.' to be transported for the term of his natural life. The Learned Judge old hinr, that had not the' capital punishment been taken away by a" recent Net Of Parliament, it was a case in which the utmost severity.,Of the law must have taken place. The prisoner was sus pected of having sent similar letters to other persons, and amongst them, to the present Earl of Winchelsoa. POOLLY PYBUS •• This was an action for maliciotisly suing out a Commission of Bankrupt against the plaintiff, without any, reasonahle or. probable. cause. 'lle parties were near neiihbours in the town of Maidstone, each carrying on the business of a corn factor, wharfinger, and coal dealer. .This was the second trial Qf the same cause. At the last Auiaes the plaintiff had a verdict for 6001. damages. WELLS. Avower 9. • • • • OWYTHERS V. BROWN, . . This was an action against the owner of a.trading• vessel coming up to Bridgewater, for- wages alleged to be due to the plaintiff, as master of the vessel. If ao peered, however, in evidence, that the plaintiff had..b'een. recognized by the defendant only in . the ch,r rare of mate, and had been discharged. He was afterwards en gaged by the master to supply his 'place daring his ill ness • but this engagement was upon some 'uriderstarid bag between themselves, and the defendant hid never adopted or acknowledged the plaintireservices as mas ter. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. • The rest of the day *Ai oisisPied in the trial of gm action. of qt.'s; pass respecting a liability to repair the fences between two (semi: Richard 6thson, a young man' in the dress of a bouring farmer, was indicted for stealing an iron chest,' two canisters, and several articles from a dwelling house. The charge of stealing from the dwelling-house WAS afterwards abandoned, the articles being deposited in a counting house, distinct from the house:' and the offence was, therefore, reduced to *the mere stealing. The offence itself had nothing. extraordinary in its circumstances, but the a' ter consequences were of very setious nature to the prisoner, and probably to his corp. ! panions, if he had any. The pro s ecutor, rely, waso mer chant, was awoke in the nig'it of the robbery by an ex plosion which shook his house.. It turned out, on ex- j amination that some thieves had broken open his count ing house,. and taken away his iron -chest, 'with two; canisters, which in fact contained several pounds ofj gunpowder. The thieves, no doubt, supposed-they con-, tained something more valuable; for having gottenjust: out of the house, they, no doubt, proceefle4 to examile: the contents of thecanisters ; and being off thirsturd,l they must have incautiously applied-a light.. But what ever might have been 'the cause, the effects were obvionsel The explchion has already been,finentioaed.

A luftvi, 4sitasksine,d his leg, and - said that no stone under suchci4 camstances could produce a wound of such severity)o The prisoner having thus mentioned so inadequate.!' cause, incteasA the suspicion against him.., js sinthea were therefore examined. His trousers an. stockings bore marks of blood. His jacket had • buttons similar ' so that which was found upon a particle of the, iron- {Jest; and one buttoit was wanting in the row upon the jacket. The prisoner did not now offer to account for day of theie appearances; but rested his defence on the . admitted Nei, that no. part of the property•was found • upon him, and that he had not recently been seen near, the premises in question. The Learned Juvor left these circumstances to the jury, observ ing on their strength, tbat they all contributed•to 6z the guilt npotr the prisoner, but giving -him all the benefit of the •obieivation, that they did nut amount to positive proof.. The Jury found him Guilty and sentence was for the present postponed. Phoebe Hooper, aged - about fifty, and.. apparently 'a respectable woman, was indicted for . feloniously mar rying Jonathan Puxtone, her former hushiscid,,W.illiain' r - Hooper, being living. ~ •• •• •. • The object or the prosecution did not app e ar, sae was it'suggestlet that any injury had been sustained by any person la toissequente of the alleged offence of the prisoner. • ' It was proved that a marriage had taken . piece* 4.. 1819, between a man named Hooper, and a female sup: posed to be the prisoner, - by her maiden name . of 'Hol loway; but the witness, the parish clerk, who was nano& to prove this fact, said he was not certain• of the "pri-- soner's identity. She appeared to be the same woe.. man; but she was, if the same; very much- altered' in appearance. The second marriage with •one Pits -1 tone, a farmer, in the preient -year, (as well as• prisoner's identity with regard to this marriage); clearly proved. Tnis took place in the month of April in , ' the present year. To clear up the fact as•to the iden tity of the.pris , nor on the first marriage, the constable' who apprehended her was called. She was living with her second husband, farmer Puxtone, at t to times When told there was a warrant against her for bigamy, she said it was impossible, as there had been an agreement. between" thens"—an agreement prepared , bra lawyer; and therefore she, at first, c-.ulJ not be made to believe that there 'could be any legal charge against her. The meaning of the expression thein".would be clearly made out, as referring to the two husbands, if the con vet sation on the same subject, at the same time, bitt occurring while the prisoner was dressing -herself, in order to go to prison, could be nude legal•evidence against her; but as it took *place in Ler ab once, it was not admitted in evidence., Upon this defect in the case on the part of the prosecution, the Learned Judge directed an acquittal, because, although it had been proved that there ha-i been a marriage between two persons in the year 1819, it was not' proved- either ,by vidence, or by the prisoner's confession, thit she was one of th , m. the Jury accordingly acquitted her..
