EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON AND INCENDIARIES. --We stated recently the particulars of the stables belonging to the Culls ge attached to the Hereford Cathe dral having been burnt, and also of the College having been discovered to have been on fire, on Sunday morning, the 2d instant, which was then said to have been ili•co vered and got miller by the great exertions o f M r . H ae v, r , the organist of the Cathedral. The circumstances cawed great alarm and consternation .brunglinut the city. Seve ral investigations wok place without tending in any degree to lead to the detection of the of enders; it was therefore determined to send an express to Bow-street, and Laven der was despatched to Hereford. Lavender being of pinion that Mr. Hayter't conduct was very extraordinary, he was inlet rogated very fully as to where lie had been the preceding evening, night, &e. he not hissing returned to his chambers till between II and 12 o'clock ; lie satis factorily accounted for whet e he had been on that nigh t and the canoe if his being out so late. On his arrival near the College, about half past 11, lie observed two men standing near the porch, leading towards the College; he consideiedl them to be there under suspicions vircumstan eeS he was at some distance from them, but thinking he knew one of the men he called to him by acme, butt lie received no answer. lie then proceeded to hi, chambers, armed Welsch with a dagger, and went out with sits inten tion of a-cei 'Anita. ; who the men were, and what they were delete Hear the porch, but they left the spot, and lie 111 W nothing more of theist. At this time he described to have seen a woman with a candle and lantern near an iron gate leading to the College ; she was heard to rattle tbe latch of a door, as if she wished to pass it, but lie could not tell whether to go in or out. These were considered marvellous circumstances. He admitted that he did nut alarm, or inform his brother of what lie had seen, although Ile slept with him in his chambers. He admitted having been near the part where fire broke out, early on the Sunday morning, just before lie went to the Cathedral, to attend his duty at the organ, and accounted for his going there for his boots, the room where the boy cleaned them, being nearly tinder where the fire broke out, and he put his boots on there. He went to the Cathedral, and left as soon as the necessary service of the organ %IN'S ever, it being shorter than usual, on account of the Sacrament being about to be administered. He was then rsturning to his chambers, but owing to some gates being locked, lie was obliged to pass through the chambers of Mr. Jones,to get at his own, and he discovered the fire as before stated. Mr. Hat'ter's brother was examined—his account was coutradietory and confused, when compared with that of his 'imam. He could not tell whether he arose on Sunday morning at eight o'clock or ten. The part of Mr. Hayter'a statement, respecting his going near the part where the fire broke out on time Sunday morning, and putting on his boots where the boy cleaned diem, was con tradicted by the boy, who said lie took them to Mr. Hay. ter's room. The statement of the woman whom Mr. H. described as having seen with a candle and lantern on Saturday night, and rattling at the latch of a door, could not he correct, as the gates haul been locked some hours previous t a wOlllBlll could not have been there, and it be ing moonlight, there was no occasion for a candle and lantern.—Mr. Harter bas been organist of that Cathedral between two and three years; he ranked high in his pro fession, and he has been caressed and esteemed by all who knew him at Hereford. He had chambers allowed him in the College. .About two months since, his brother went to visit him, and it being contrary to the rules of the College for any stranger to sleep theme without special permission, Mr. Hay:er applied to the Rev. Mr. Garbed, the Custos, stating, that Isis brother had come to remain with hint about a week, mid the reqaest was granted by the Custos ; but instead of rt.:nail:dig a week, he has re mained two monads without any visible cause. On Mon day, after a loeg examination of iiesses, the magistrates informed Mr. Harter that it was necessary to have some circumstances of IRS conduct explained; and the Gentle men of the College requested him to remove his t csidence from thence. At the close of the investigation, which lasted till between five and six o'clock, the Gentlemen retired to the College dinner, at which Mr. !filter did not attend, though lie was entitled to du it by virtue of his office. After We Gentlemen had dined the set vants sat down to their dinner, and during the time the Gentle men were partaking of wine, one at the party, on lute king out of a window, discovered smoke issuing ft um the 10of of the upper cloisters. An alarm was given, mid mime' ;ions were made by numbers to extinguish the file, ill which they fortiniately succeeded. It was observed to proceed from under a staircase which led to a lumber natal, where there was straw and a variety of light matters. Lavender, the Bow-street office's, was amongst those who went to assist in extinguishing the fire, tied met with Mr. ILI); ter's brother near the spin, whom he took into eustods , and soon alter meeting with Mr. Hayter, lie also took him into custody, and lodged them both in the pi ison. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT —Ott Monday a cor n inquest was held at the Angel public-house w Ff.vt market, before I'. Shelton, lisq. eormier, user Ibe bUd) of a fine male child, between three dud timer years of age, rime son of .Mr. Reminingion, a respectable Itemised victualler, of the Mail Coach puldic-ho use, in the same market.

Thursday morning last, by some wa tMitu, floating on the water, g,oing through the bridge they tool. it out, and carried it to the bone.house, near Chelsea .:lurch, for the coroner's inquest. The body was much bloated, and appeared to have been some ilass in the water.—lle was 33 years of age, and had not been heard of since the evening of the glst of last month, until found drowned ; no evidence hieing before the jury how he came in the water, they returned a verdict" Found Drowned." On Saturday morning, when the under taker's men came to strip the body, in order to pm it into the coffin, they discovered a liactiire on the left side of • the head, and a stab, as if from a b.ionet or dirk, under the breast. Toe frienda of the deceased caused the coroner to issue his warrant, and the same jury were summoned again, and met at seven on Saturday evening. It appeared, on stripping the deceased, that, his gold %eaten was found or his skin, inside his drawers, tinder his knee. Ile had only three pettily womb of halfpence about him, and his pocket-hook was found in the skirt pocket of his COS:, Willi some letters in it, which led to the discovery of the deceased. Mr. Keefe of Coeyne.walk, Chelsea, surgeon, exa mined the body ; he probed the woimd, which in his opinion, was the cause of his death. It appeared that the deceased had received 1001. in notes two days before his leaving home, and whether he was robbed of them or not could not be ascertained. It was Supposed, from his watch being found concealed as it was, that the deceased finding himself attacked by robbers, put the watch in his dratvt.rs far safety, and dist after he had been lobbed anti unuttered his body was thrown into the River, bin in what part it could not be ascertained. Verdict, " Wilful Murder against sotne person or per sons unknown." The scrutiny at Ipswich was resumed on Saturday se'unight, at the close of which day it was again adjourned till Wednesday last. Ott Friday night lust 41 votes had been struck off the numbers of each candidate ; but on Saturday the list of Messrs. lialdimand and Lennard was reduced four, and that of Messrs. Crickitt and Round oily two. DUEL.—On Friday morning, the Sth instant, at an early hour, a meeting took place near the Lough, between the Hon. Christopher Hely Hutchinson, Esq. 11.

Mr. Weston Young, of NewtonCottige, has succeeded in the arduous task of raising the schooner William Penn Hughes, master, lost on the English Grounds in the night of the 21st of January list. - •Fitis is the first vessel ever known-to have been taken up front that part of the Channel, where the strength of the tide is such as to render any undertaking of the kind very difficult and dangerous. Much !nuke is due to Capt. Hughes, for his steady perserverance in giving every assistance in hi, power.
