The farm was occupied by Mr. Tidniarsh , wh os e b on an d th ree ot h er %emits' set fire to the thatch of a wheat-rick close to the itolse, in catching sparrows with a clap-net, in using which a ca n dle is held up for the birds to fly into the mt. A strung northerly wind drose the flames directly open the I se, which was in one blaze before any water could be gut, as it was built chiefly of wood. Tne iiremisea were li.ehtle insured.

The trunk woo after arrived, and a receipt lin seven pounds was produced, which was paid by the victualler. It, however, turned out that the gentleman knew nothing whatever of the trunk, on opening of which it was found to contain nothing bed bricks. On Saturday morning List an explosion of fire works took place in the attic of a house in Church street, Birmingham, which blew out the windows, and so dreadthily injured the maker of them, named Underhill, that he was conveyed to the General Hospital in a most dangerous state. Many daring burglaries have lately been commit ted in the town and neighbourhood of Kensing ton ; several of the gang are in cw.tody, two i 4 whom are now under sentence of death. From the information received, and the vigilance of the inha bitants, together with the activity of the Bow street and other police ofikers and constables, there is good reason to expect that the whole of this nefari ous gang will sotto be in the bands of justice. Sunday the body of a man was finind lying in the outer lock of the Wet Duels, Leith ; it was taken out, anti discovered to be the body of Simpson, Boatswain to the Naval Yard, who bad fillen in during the night.

Mr. Baker, the newly appointed Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, attended there in the course of Mon day, and signed his first warrant in that capacity, fur the apprehension of a tuan tharg.:d with high treason. The rubbish is now removed from Cie scite of the old Birmingham Theatre ; and the ni.w Proprietary hive taken possestion of the ground.
