IVlllbun Flint (1,:: brother to the plaintiff) at the time he executed his will w. Cefolpt4l wretitis or not. The property in contention, con. rg at' lands and tenements, are situate at Fannninton in id ....county, and of the estimated value of 2,000 1 . The w ill,bear. 1' Pate the 2241 day of October 1823 was read, wherein the tea t t • r bequeathed several specific legacies to diff:rent persons. and hulk of his property to the defendant (Wilson). The plain. tif• claimed the estate as the heir at law of the testator. The o::ry probandi was put upon the defendant. The testator, it ap. reseed, had executed his will in the presence of an attorney of the name of Hornby, of Scarborough, who stated, that at the Lie c he executed it, the testator was, in his belief, of sound .d, but admitted on his eross.examMation, that the house in sh'eh he signed his will was at that time an asylum for lunatics, to —i kept by witness's father. It further appeared that is 1823 the tit• itter. who, en his road to Bennington, had been stopped and robbed of some property, had, at the trial of the prisoners at York, *melded and given his evidence ins collected but lather hurried Marner ; and that on his testimony the robbers were convicted and tin nsported ; that at the time he executed his will in favour of the erfc-idant he said, In the presence of one of the attesting wftnesaes t— , ,ion Harriet, "See that tVileon buries me mensefully (de , e Ny J. for I have left him the whole of my property." A 'ler several witnesses had been examined to prove that the tes ter- was of sound mind at the time be made his will, although tif asionally adilleted to liquor, 7.

Mr. B. then called a gentleman of the name of Husband, a surgeon, resident in York. He stated that he had been called to ',lend the &ceased during the months of July and November that at sevensl times when he had visited him he had bled him, end 'even him calomel, which was genertlly administered to persons in Inns !tire of mind ; that he appeared in a state of great mental cx. eiteeteet, sentimially haunted with the idea of bc.ng robbed, and sent to the ponr.house; that on one particular occasion, when he attended him, he appeared to be labouring under complete aberra. den of mind, and said, " he could rule the stars, and that he was as great an astronomer as Sir Isaac Newton." 6 to his troes-examination. he said he did not appear to him V. hive been under the hifiuence of liquor. In another con. s ersetlon that he had had with a Mr. Nicholson, who acted s, the testator's solicitor in the prosecution of the persons ,—erceted with the robbery, when the testator was dwelling ', v on Mg loss, Mr. N. pacified him by saying that the Lnrd Charm-Hoc would tome down and restore his lost property to him. (Great laughter) He (the teetator) wanted to be m a rried, and nsmc the lady lie had marked out for his wife. p..d ask - cl the whites what ht thought of her; that his age was 76. and the lady's 40; she was a widow, and he hoped he should hare children by her. I ~weld Johnson, another medical gentleman, a resident of York, who had weetised as a surgeon for 37 rears. bad visieed the person. hpehe to his having been applied to by Wilson to attend the tea. tator, who had taken opium. He administered remedies, which had the effect of restoring To prove that the testator was in estate of mental derangement, a witness of the name of Orly stated that he had seen hint hold up a stick, and exclaim he was " loyal !" At another time he would wander sbout. aryl shout, "0 heed, have mercy u p on roc!" That one time he attempted to cut his throat, and called his wife a damned hitch, for attempting to prevent him; and on his (witness) asking him why he attempted to cut his own throat, lie said, because he was tired of his own life, that he was in a low de sponding way. A witness, who had acted as his groom, stated that his master had run about the streets in a wild manner; that he desired, when he was drad, that some lively tune might be played, fur which he was to have a sovereign ; the tune that was to be pined was 6 ' Kiss my 1,7d1," and other merry ones (Lauchter); that he hail at one time ordered Lint to fetch from York a c , et load of gin anti rum ; he died on the '2.llth of April, 11:25. AiiiiMer witness said. that he heard him say that he was the second man in the kingdom, and next to the Fink—and tint in the kingdom of Heaven. Agar spo4. In the truaior calling at ben house, and having his bill and papers, he said he wished to become her suitor. She told him that lie Ws a poor insane man, and that she would have nothing to do with hint. That he sail he was a master of arts and sciences. (Great laughter.) Wilson came afterwards for the writ ings, but she refused to let hint have theta; he next came with Mi. Flint, rind she gave them to him. lie then said, that he would make Wilson his steward. On her cross-termination, she said that she was afterwards married in the year 1(124, and that she had a child, which is now three-quarters of a year old, that Illr. Wihun had arrested her husband, and that he had te! - en the benefit of the Insolvent Detyor'n Act ; but that they had been very friendly together since, and that site would not swaer that she gave Mrs. Smith a guinea, to nut a caveat against the bill." Mr. Agar v cot to the lawyer. Wilson said, that she wanted burning, aittl aught to have a halter round her neck. (A laugh.) Another witness detailed him its nutting shout the street, swear ing that he was no churchman. fln his cross.examination he ad. matted that he had borrowed monlw of the testator, which he had since paid ; he admitted that he had failed.

Mr. SCARLETT, in his reply, said that the oars prnlpandi was on the part of his beamed Friend; that he hail kilt d in his plea of insanity, his argument was the most convincing proof. As ye- Ranted any undue influence, which hat! been talked of. he would make one observation. There was a case winch hie Lea.tar( Friend, no doubt, recollected very well, where it was riniended, that a master had been so influenced by his servant as to leave the whole of hie property to her, which it war submitted made ; the will voidable. The case to which he alluded was laid before that enlightened Judge, Mr. Justice Clmmbers, and he recollected that an eminent advocate then at the bar (Me. Huron Gamow) came down specially on that occasion to argue the point, when his Lordship observed, in his charge to the Jury, that he knew of no undue influence that could beset up against the validity of a will, and that it was rot to he said that because a person in making his will, acted under sonic particuiar influence, that that instrument was the less effectual. The motives of Sm ith were obvious—to get possession of the testator's estate, by setting this will aside. That there had been a temporary excitement of fever, for which the testator had been very properly bled, he would not deny, but on the other hand, there was nothing to warrant the conclusion drain from it. With respect to fir. Henley's preparing the will. what was there In all that—it was mere Yl 11 C to every attorney's clerk, it was an instrument that did not require any palms to draw, and was every day's practice; he could see no cm. runt motive nor undue influence In this. Before he sat down, he would refried his Learned Friend, that the great Doctor Johnson had observed, " That he who drives fat oxen, should himself be fat." fly the same reasoning, "he who governs mail men, should himself lie mail." It was at all times a grievous spectacle to see human nature In ruins, but here no rain appeared. The Learned Gentleman, after commenting on the evidence, concluded by calling on the Jury to give a verdict for tl.e defendant. His LORDSHIP, in his charge to the Jury. observed that It wax we. hecause a man did not at all time give a rational answer, that he was ea he considered as not possesning a sound mind; that whatever influence a person might act under, vet. if he were in possession of his faculties at the time he made his last will and testament, the instrument was valid in itself. The only question in this cause for their consideration was, whether the testator, at the time he executed his will, had that possession of his reason to know what he did—if he had, then they would find for the de. Pendant ; if not, for the plaintiff: After a long consultation, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. WRIT OF RIGHT. ANGELL T. ANGELL.

BEER Dux ssas.—From ti parliamentary paper we have just received, it appears that John Bull's predilection for malt liquor has in no degree diminished. It is of some consequence to note the fact now, that we may be the bet ter able to mark what future change is produced in the Englishman's habits by the introduction of tine Scottish spirits, at an inferior price. Spirits are a very recent in vention compared with beer; and even in the Highlands, where whisky is now the only stimulating liquid drank by the common people, the use of ale was anciently univer sal. We think the change rather to be deprecated than desired; but we have little doubt that spirits are destined to supplant ale and porter to a peat extent in England, as they Lave done in Scotland. At present, the difference in the quantity of malt liquor :iettautned in the two countries is really prodigious. The population of England is to that of Scotland as six to one; but who would imagine, that the quantity of strong beer (an Excise term which includes ale and prier) consumed b the two countries is as 49 to 1, or that each Englishman drinrs u much malt liquor as eight Scotsmen. We throw the table beer out of the cal , eulation, besause the quantity' consumed is very nearly in , proportion to the number of inhabitants in each country, viz. as six to one. Reckmain • the adults half the popula tion, the strong beer made in England affords one barrel per annum, or fully half a bottle per day, for each grown up person, male or female ; in Scotland the quantity is only one-eighth of a barrel per annum, or rather less than a bottle in the fortnight for each grown up person.— Scotsman. HINT TO Oveaszess.—On Thursday the 16th inst. a pauper of &mon in Ashfield applied to, the sitting Magis trates at Mansfield foe relief, and on the overseer being called, the latter stated that the man kept a dog and a fight ing cock ; upon which the Justices instantly dismissed the complaint, observing that the overseer had acted very pro perly in refusing relief, for that no person was entitled to it who kept a dog or a fighting cock. At a Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, held on Wednesday last, at Winchester, Geo. Morey, o f Portsea, Hants, bricklayer, was opposed by Get:. Guy, a creditor, is person. The original debt was 101. 139.8 d., and the costs had accumulated to no less. than 471.! The attempt to elucidate hie affairs occupied considerable time, In the course of which there was much contradictory evidence given, and some prevarication. In consequence of suspi cious circumstances under which he was arrested (in which big own attorney acted against bim) this Insolvent's case was adjourned till Me nest (July) circuit, that he might then produce his detaining creditor, and explain the transactions between them. BRIDPOIIT, MARCkI 94.—Much distress at present pre vails in this town amongst the lower classes, for want of work, and we are very apprehensive that no amendment will take place for some time. Most of the Newfoundland, orders are executed, and the different manufacturers are shortening their work. _ It is considered worthy of remark, that in the parish of March, which contains nearly four thousand inhabitants, there are only thirty-five persons now living who were as sessed to the poor's-rate thirty-two years since ; and, out of those thirty-five, there are only fire who are now resid ing in the same house they did at that time. Yet the si tuation is not, nor cannot be thought unhealthy, when, out of the average number in the poor-honse of forty-five, there are fourteen persons whose united ages amount to 1,060 years. And out of about eighty persons who receive permanent relief, there are fifteen whose united ages amount to 1234 years, and 36 whose ages average 76 years. —Prterhoivagh Gaulle. _ _ A fatal accident happened about 10 o'clock on Tuesday night to a post boy, who was returning from Stamford with a pair of horses to the Bull Inn at Witham Ccmtnon, by falling with the horse be was riding over the parapet of Casterton-bridee, a descent of 18 feet, into the river below. The man and horse was found next morning drowned, by some persons from Cuterton, the latter having one of its thighs broken, and otherwise miserably injured. A coro ner's inquest was held, but no facts were elicited as to the cause of the accident. THE BRITISH PRESS. POLICE. QUEEN-SQUARE. LIVING WITH RELATIONS. — Among the miseries of human life may be classed the following case, displaying the misery of residing with one's relations. An afflicted men, named John Armsteatl, came before the Sitting Magistrates at this office, to complain of the mad-treatment he had experienced from Ida son-in-law, Mr. Thomas Cooper. On Sunday the 12:11, complainant was in Cooper's garden, who is an eminent sort of bird fancier at Knightsbridge, when the deiced ant thought proper to quarrel with the complainant about digging ; first assisted in tying up his hands and fact, and afterwirds kicked him till be was ready left tbr desti upon the ground. Capener, of No. 24, in Kionerton.street, knights bridge,- three doors from Coorer's, deposed that, hearing a cry of munler, lie looked out over the wail, when he saw Armatcad with his legs tied with a line In the garden, which Mrs. Cooper cut down tor the purpose. At this juncture he was nearly black in the flee.; and witness did not think _Plat lie could have survived had not sonic one released him, wt*lt, fortunately, was acme plishei by the witness and his uncle, who succeeded in toting the eontpininunt ME Defendant was a dealer In birds; and it was the complainant's business, as the witness heard, to look after the aviary.

OF : 4 /MEP STEALING.—On Saturday, noway tiontry and John Smith were finally examined bettor :Ur. ()anon NE, on a charge of sheep stealing, under most extra ordinary eirentiistahees. They were brrtight to the Ake on Wednesday in the custody of a constable of St. Mary's, Islington, named Brown, who stated that about half-nest six that morning the prisoner Smith passed him in the Lower-road, Islington, carrying ;I large basket, and Gurney coming up immediately afterward. with another basket. his suspicions were excited, and he stopped him to ask what the baskets contained. (iuniry said it was meat, which he was carrying to a saicsnian named Salter, at Newgatc-market. Brown then took hint to the watch-house, and found that the basket contained the fore quarters of a sheep, a hatchet, knife. &c., and in the pri soner's pockets were the half of a sheep's head and the liver. The constable having secured Gurney in the watch-house, then went in pursuit of Smith, and his basket was found to contain the hind quarters of the sheep, and his pockets the sheep's lights. Bring asked where he was going to carry his load to, he said he did not know. At their first examination. Gurney said that Mr. Salter, a sales. man, met him at a very early hour, and asked him to carry the meat to Newgate-market, appointing to meet him there at eight o'clock. --- Shortly after that examination, it was ascertained that on Tues day night, or Wednesday morning, two sheep had been stolen from a field at Holloway, belonging to Mr. Coleman, a salesman ; and that the robbers, having killed them on the spot, had skinned and carried off the carcases, leaving the skins behind. Mr. Coleman and a man in his employ were in attendance on Saturday, and identified the skins which were produced. The sheep's carcass found in the prisoner's possession being fitted into one of the skins, corresponded precisely in every part. Mr. Coleman's man deposed that he saw the sheep safe in the field at six o'clock on Tuesday evening. The following morning, at eight o'clock, he missed them. and about half an hour afterwards he discovered the skins in a ditch, where the robbers had thrown them. The prisoners were fully commttted for trial. Rorie STEALING.--Joseph Ludlow, alias Taylor, who has been several times examined on charges of horse-stealing, was rc. examined on Saturday, on suspicion of having been conc.:rued in stealing four horses from Mr. Batten, of Brickwall, flertford.iiire, In March 11125, a robbery for which a man named Harpur was ex ecuted at the same time as Probert. The prisoner is supposed to have been with Harpur at the commission of the robbery. He was remanded for further examination on Friday next. Three men, named Doughly, Purdy, and Walker, were fully committed for trial, ter a robbery committed on Saturday se'anight in the most daring manner. It appeared that, at eleven o'clock that forenoon, the waggon of Messrs. Booth and Co., the distillerg, while standing at the door of a public house in 01d-street, St. L.A.'s, was beset by four fellows, one of whom entered it, and deliberately placed a It) gallon cask of gin on the head of his companion Doughty, who was prepared with a knot to receive it. A person who saw the transaction gave the alarm, when Doughty and Purdy were taken. The other prisoner was afterwards apprehended and identified as one of the gang. UNION-HALL. On Saturday two brothers, named Palmer, one of whom de. scribed himself as ship-meter of the Corporation, were bronght up, charged with assaultiog one of the toll collectors on iVaterloo bridge, and also.with evading the toll. The complainant stated that, late on the preceding night, the Ile. fendants came to the toll-bar on the Middlesex aide of the bridge, each accompanied by a female. One of the defendants desired him to admit them through, and he would pay for the patty. Having complied with the request, instead of paying the toll (4d.) the ladies and gentleman walked forward, and when 'Moe** fol. lowed the person who passed his word for the others, and demanded the toll, the latter said that he would only pay for himself. Com plainant, however, was proceeding to insist upon payment of the toll, when both defendants ran away across the bridge, in the di. region of the Waterloo-road. lie pursued them with all the speed he could, but the ship-meter and his brother outstripped him the length of the bridge, both of them having jumped over the toll-bar on the other side, instead of passing through the footway. He still continued the pursuit, and at length came up with one of the defendants, whom he again solicited to pay the four-pence, and while detaining him by the collar, the other brother came 'up, and knocked him down. While in that state they both beat him in a shameful manner. lie was, however, rescued from further violence by a watchman, who took the defendants into cue tody. The defendants, on being called upon to state the reason of their endeavouring to evade the 101 l (which offence subjected each of them to a penalty of 101.), besides booing the toll-collector for de manding that which he wax entitled to, admitted that they were both inebriated's* the time, and the ship -meter hoped the present hobble he had got himself into would not militate against ham. The illag , strate recommended the defendants to withdraw and make their peace with the toll-collector. The suggestion was agreed to by both parties, and they with. drew for that purpose. A master parlour, named Ryan, was charged with violently as saulting a watchman with an iron bar. The complainant produced the wo.pon with which he was struck, and said, that had the blow taken caber, he wculd not be there to tell his story that day. From his statement it appeared, that Ryan and his wife were in the habit of quarrelling very frequently, to the great annoyance of the neighbours, who were orten, kept awake whole nights in consequence of the shouts of " murder" proceed ing front their residence. On the night in question the defendant and his wife were kicking up a tremendous row, so much so that many of the inhabitants thought murder n,ust ensue, and entreated him (the watchman) to enter the house and prevent the conse quences. He accordingly got in, and having proceeded to Ryan's room, found that person and his wife, both half naked, flinging the mockery-ware at each other's heads. Scarcely a whole article appeared in the went. On his appearance a cessation of hostilities took place, which however was of short duration ; for Ryan, still determined on giving his mistress "a good leathering," and being prevented from carrying it into efict by the interference of the watchman, vented his rage on the latter, and for this purpose seized a long piece of iron bar which served as a poker, with which he aimed a desperate blow at the watchman's head, who fortunately warded it off: Phis was followed by a second blow, which struck the complainant on the shoulder with great force. Ryan was uht mately lodged in the watch-house. In his defence, Ryan,' who Is en Hibernian, pleaded, that the watchman had no right to interfere between man and wife, for they always settled their quarrels without the interference of a mediator. llis wife, he acknowledged, was particularly fond of calling out the word " Murder !" whenever he lifted his fist against her ; " but then (said he), your Worship, when all the neighbours, as well as the watchman. know the poor woman's little failings, why don't they let us alone to Bettie our own disputes, without shoving in their oars." The Ilagiatrate—But you have aslaulted the watchman, and might have killed him, had the blow yuu intended for him taken effect. Ryan—Blesa your boo!, Sir, it would only have cracked his crown a bit. I knew be had a thick el uil. and that it would have taken a hard knock to make any impression on it. He forgot to tell you, Sir, that he cudgelled me before I attempted to give him a topper. The crinplainant did not deny that he hail used his stick OM Ryan's hind and shoulders ; but not ur.til he had been struck with the bar. Ryan—Please your Worship, I see the watchman has got the law on his side the question, and thcrelose it is no use for me to argufy any more. Me and my wife must stand the batter, I sup. The Magistrate—Your wife Is not included In the charge, but I shall certahily hold you to bail tor cummitting an assault upon the watchman. Ryan's wife here made her Appearance, anti, with loud sobs, be moaned her husband's hard fate. she supplicated the Alagistrate to forgive fling this time, adding, tl:ut it Wag out of her power to procure bail. She was, however, unsuccessful to her application, and Ryan was committed. CORONER'S INQUEST. RUMOURED POISON/N(l.-An inquest was taken on Saturday, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex ' at tiht White Swan. St. John's-lane, Clorkenwell, upon view of the bckly of George Bishop, a coppersmith, who it was reported had been poisoned by his wile. . . . The decessed, , it appeared, had lived for Rome time at a house In Eagle -court, St. John's-lane, and had had frequent disputes with his wife. On the day previoos to his death they had had a violent quarrel, and a Hanoverian named Shultz, who is said to have oc• copied the room adjoining to the deceased's, overheard the wife say, or understood her to• say, " You villain., you have had your day to-day, but I'll let you see that I'll have mine to-morrow. You'll find the I can procure a drug that will do your business." In consequence of this threat, the Hanoverian went to the watch. house. and asked bondsman, the constable of the night, 'to take the woman into custody, alleging, that he was certain she was de termined to put it in execution. Loadaman, however, did not feel himself justified in apprehending the wife; on this information. On the following day the deceased came home to dinner at the usual hour. and ate with apparently good appetite; but just as he had finished, he was seized with violent pains in the stomach, exhibiting every symptom of the action of poison, and was a corpse in less than a quarter of an hour. Mr. Cooper, surgeon, of Cow Cross-street, was called in, but every effort to restore life was unavailing. The body, however, betrayed no appearance that would lead to the supposition that poison had been the cause of the men's death. The face was somewhat swollen, but it seemed rather the effect of apoplexy than of any deteterious ingredients which he had taken, and Mr. C. de clined opening the body without the Coroner', order to that effect. These ctrcumstances having come to the knowledge of the paro chial authorities, the parish surgeon, Mr. Shepherd, was directed to examine the body, and a respectable Jury was impanelled to in. quire into the facts. However, in the testimony brought before the inquest, there was not a particle of evidence to justify such a belief. The wife admitted that she and her husband sometimes quar relled, as most married folks do. They had lived together several Tessa, and were tolerably satisfied with each other's conduct. On fliursday, at twelve o'clock, his usual hour, deceased came to din. tier, and soon after complained of sickness in his stomach, dizzi. ness of the head, ate. which was followed by vomiting; and, al though medical assistance was immediately sent for by her, he died in a few ultimo. The latter part of this statement was confirmed by the landlord of the house wherein deceased resided. and by two of the lodgers, who deposed to the extreme anxiety of the wife on learniag that there were no hopes of his recovery. The parish surgeon said that he had carefully examined the bocy of the deceased 4 it exhibited no syn,ptonis whatever of poi. son, and had there been any administered. the effects ',oull have been visible long before now. Deceased was apparently about 50 years of age, of a full plethoric habit, and evidently liable to at tacks of apoplexy. It was most likely, that having eaten a heavy dinner, his stomach being overloaded, he had ban carried off In a lit of hat description. • The Jury having viewed the body, expressed themselves satin. fled that there was no truth in the rumours previously circulated. and returned a verdict—" That the deceased died in a lit of apoplexy." . , On Saturday an inquest was held at the Welsh Harp, in Lombard -street, Fleet-street. en the body of Mary Walker. residing at No. 11, in the same treet, who came by her death under the following circumstances :—The deceased had on Thursday night gone to call for her Insband at a neighbouring house, and upon her return home, on guirig up stairs in the dark, slipped her foot, and fail down the kitchen stairs, at the bottom of which she was discovered some hours afterwards, quite dead. It likewise ap. peered that, from the construction of the staircase, two or three serious accidents had previously taken place in the same house. The Jury, after alluding to the dangerous state of the staircase, re turned a verdict of "Accidental death." The Coroner severely censured the conduct of those whose duty it was to prevent such accidents, for not having a door to the kitchen stairs, and ordered the same to be put up without further deity. DisraEssiNG Suicths:.—On Saturday evening an in quisition was taken at the Duke of Wellington public-house, Cornwall.street, CAnmerrial-road, on view of the body of Captain Baxter, late of Upper John.atrcet in that neitti.bnurhond. Mr. Richard Chapman, surgeon, resides in Mile Encl, Old Town. I know the deceased, and had been in the habit of attending him for six or seven years past ; his health during that time had been indif. ferent, and he was occasionally subject to hypochondriac affections. He had no doubt but he was the author of his own death. Coro ner—Did you sec the instrument with which he perpetrated the fatal deed ? I did not. On Sunday I was called to see the deceased ; he was then veer melancholy, and labouring under hypochondri. asis. On Monday I saw hint, when he appeared somewhat better, but his spirits were bad ; I saw him for the last time on Thursday, when his general health was much improved, but his spirits had an increased dejection. lam decidedly of opinion that when the de. ceased committed the rash act he was not of sound mind, memory, or understanding Mr. Bell examined—l live opposite the de. ceased ; in consequence of his not getting up at his usual hour on Friday morning, I was called on to ascertain the cause; I went to his house, and finding his chamber door locked, I forced it open, and discovered the deceased with his throat severed from ear to ear. He was weltering in blood, and a razor was lying near his head. I certainly think he was deranged when he committed 'the fatal deed. The evidence closed here, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Suicide," committed while in a state of insanity. FlRE.—Yesterday morning, about half-past one o'clock, s fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Properj,;tn, butcher, Clare-market. It was first discovered by the family when retiring to rest; on opening the door of the bed-room the Homes burst forth with great fury, and had it not been fur the timely arrival of the (*glues, aided by a plentiful supply of water, a great portion of the market, it is feared, would have fallen a prey to the devouring element; but happily the lire was confined to the house in which it originated Mr. Properjohn, we understand, was not insured. The attendance of Rutliven and a party of police prevented the depredations of a numerous body of thieves. ALAnm I NG FlllE.—About four o'clock yesterday after noon a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Ford, corn-chandler, in Prospect-place, St. George's-fields, near the Elephant and Castle, which shortly communicated to his large premises behind, filled with corn, hay, and straw, and burnt with a fury that at one time threatened destruction to the whole neighbourhood. From the situation of Mr. Ford's premises, in a little time the houses of Mr. Fisher, a furniture broker, Mr. Gruet, a green-grocer, and the shop and timber-yard of Mr. Weedy, a carpenter, were all on fire; and notwithstanding the speedy arrival of several engines, and the utmost exertions of the firemen, their endeavours were hl , ralyzed from the want of water; and th e sa f ety o f t h e neighbour ood is solely to be attributed to the activity of the fremen. The house and property first mentioned are completely destroyed, and two or three houses and back premises adjoining the rear of Mr. Ford's property greatly damaged. Mr. Ford, his wife, and family, were from home when the fire was first discovered. It is not known by what means it originated, but the property destroyed is very considerable ; and we learn that, with the exception of Mr. Ford's, nu part of it is insured. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERIES.—A succession of robberies, accompanied by some circumstances of strong suspicion against a person who recently held a respectable station in this town, has taken place within the last few days:—Oa Sunday. the 12th inst. the premises forming part of Pit-fall Mills, in Leeds, lately occu pied by Mr. David Howard, coverlet manufacturer, a bankrupt, were forcibly entered, and a time-piece, a decanter-stand, three de canters, and some clothes, stolen therefrom in the absence of the person who had the charge of the premises under the assignees. From some suspicious circumstances, Mr. David Howard was taken into custody on suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery, but no satisfactory evidence being adduced against him. he was discharged. Two days after, the shop and warehouse of Mr. Benjamin Raper, adjoining the Pit-fall Mills, were broken into, and four guns, valued at 40/. and some other property stolen therefrom, without any alarm having been excited, or resistance made, though there were two powerful and vigilant dogs kept on the premises. On the Thursday following, part of this pro perty was found in a sack deposited in a dye-pan (part of Mr. D. Howard's effects), which was kept in the open air in sonic vacant ground between the Calla and the river Aire. but nothing more was heard, at that time, of the remainder of the stolen property. On Saturday list, about ten o'clock at night, a noise was heard in the warehouse of Messrs. Thomas Smith and Sons, irontnongers, Ilriggate• on which Mr. Smith and his y , 'ingest son repaired into the warehouse, where they found a youth of the name of Richard Fryer, whom young Smith seized and took into custody, and on searching his person a number of hardware articles, stolen out of the warehouse, were found in his possession. On searching the house or lodgings of the prisoner, the time-niece and spirit-decant era which had been stolen from Pit-fall Mills were found on the premises, and John Fryer, his cousin, was also taken into custody by Ingham and Handley, the police officer.. On being asked if he knew any thing of the guns stolen front Mr. Raper's premises, he admitted that some of them had been in his possession, and said that he had thrown some of them into York back, anti the other part into the new burial ground, where the officers afterwards found them. The prisoner further declared that the stolen articles had been put into his possession by Mr. David Howard, who stands charged with being implicated with the prisoners in the commission of the two first felonies, hut has absconded, Tne Fryers have both been com untied by the Magistrates to the House of Correction at Wakefield, and on Monday last Mr. Howard was seen entering the town of Rochdale o' foot, in company with another man, probably on their way to Liverpool. Since the above paragraph was written,we have been waited upon by Mr. David Howard, who has returned to Leeds, and who, on hearing of the reports to his diaadvantage, has waited upon the Mayor and the Police Officers, to declare his read iness to submit to any investigation that may lie instituted into these robberies, of which he declares himself entirely innocent. The public will of course suspend their opinion upon the subject till the result of that investigation, which is expected to take place this day, la known.—Lcede Mercury.
