Bellamy then crawled hack to the Buller's Arms, where be was treated kindly by the landlord and his wife, who did what they could to help him. Before, however, the news of the robbery reached Plymouth, Mr. T. Nicholson and Mr. Holmden of this town, brought to the police-orace the intelligence that on their return that nightfrom Tavistock to Plymouth, they met with a man lying in the road, bleeding profusely from the stripes and wounds he had received on his head and various parts of his body, and whom they, like good Samaritans, carried to an inn at Jump, put him to bed, and procured for him surgical aid and such other assistance as he stood in need of. Little could be gleaned from him, except that he had been sud denly attacked whilst on the road to Plymouth, by three men in the garb of miners, who, after thus grievously assaulting bun without any apparent cause had left him more dead than alive, and h© should most probably have perished had succour not so oppor tunely arrived. Subsequent inquiry, however, led to the discovery that the wounded man was none other than Dilling, the highway robber, who must thus have received the 1" good wallopping" promised him, and which he so justly merited. He was on Thursday committed by the couuty magistrates, sit ting at Jump, to take his trial at the next assizes. It appears that Hartner contrived to make his escape when his companion was so unexpectedly assailed, and concealed himself for the night behind some brushwood on the moor.—Devonshire Chronicle. No. 10, Wigmore-street, Cavendish-squam. I knew the deceased, Anthony Fawcett. He had been in my service and in my father's previously, for a period of 23 years. I first heard of his death on Tuesday week. On that day I received a written communication from bins. That communication in no way alludes to the cause of hie death, nor has it any bearing upon it. On the 17th of July last I understood, from public reports in the newspapers, that he had attempted to commit suicide. By a Juror—This was attempted in the river Thames. He was afterwards taken before a magis trate. By the CORONER—I would not allow the deceased to return to my employment in consequence. He left my employment on the 16th of July, on his own account, being then intoxicated. I had no apprehen sion as to the state of his mind. Of late years, I am sorry to say, he had been of intemperate habits. In my business I was constantly in connexion with My opinion was, except when he was in liquor, he was of sound mind. Under the influence of liquor he was much excited. I paid him his wages of 11. per week up to the time of his death, and gave him .50/. to go into business with. Up to the time of taking this shop he certainly was not in a state of destitution. He had no claim upon me further than for length of service. Joseph John Fawcett, brother of the deceased An thony, was then examined. He said—l am a porter, and live at Dover. I heard of my brother's death last Wednesday. I last saw him alive a fortnight ago. I called at his house in Wyndham-place, Bryanston square. He then told me that he had taken this busi ness (alluding to that in the Wyndham-road). I told him that.Lwas sorry, as Lad _not._ like the neigh bourhood, and we afterwards went to the Exhibi tion together. He said that he hoped be was in honest hands. In the course of conversation, as we were going along, I found he got into a very excited state, as he rambled from one subject to another, and I was obliged to check him to under stand his meaning. His conversation was principally respecting the business be had taken. I then ex pressed an opinion to my wife that I feared my poor brother would make another attempt on his life if the business did not answer. By another attempt I mean that as he had attempted some months since to drown himself in the Thames, he would make a second one. There are six brothers in our family. My father committed suicide, but no other branch of the family has been affected. When I saw my bro ther I was perfectly satisfied that he was not right in his head. The CORONER said that was the whole of the evi dence that had been obtained; but before dismissing the witnesses, he wished to know whether the jury had any questions to put to them P—The jury said they were perfectly .satisfied with the evidence that had been taken. The CORONER then proceeded to sum up the evi dence, and said he should offer but few observations on the melancholy case that had been brought before them. He thought that the evidence incontestibly showed that the children had not caused their own death, and such being the case, taking all the evidence to gether, and the nature of the wounds inflicted, it would be for them to say by whom they bad been caused. If they were satisfied of that, they could have no doubt that such a crime would amount to homicide, and for which, in point of law, the party committing would be responsible, no matter what the state of mind might be at the time. What might eventually be the result rested with a higher tribunal, for this Court had no power of discharging a person from the onus of such an act, although he might not be of sane mind. If, therefore, they were satisfied that the children died by the hand of their father, then in point of law that would amount to wilful murder. Then as to the second portion of the case, as to the death of the father. They had heard it stated that he had gone to a table, taken up a knife, and run into a kitchen, where probably he had committed the act of self-destruction. If they were of opinion that he was of sound mind, and wilfully destroyed his chil dren, and then feloniously destroyed his own life, fol lowing up one had act by another, and did that which was termed felo de se, they would of course say so by their verdict. That was a matter, however, for their consideration, but he might inform them that in that case all the goods, chattels, and other property of such persons became forfeited to the Crown. The room was then cleared, and the jury remained in consultation for an hour-and-a-half. On our re admission THE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT AT CAMBERWELL. ADJOURNED INQUEST. Yesterday, at two o'clock, -pursuant to adjourn ment, Mr. Carter, the Coroner, and the jury re assembled at the Windmill Tavern, Wyndham-road, Camberwell, for the purpose of resuming the inquiry into !the melancholy circumstances relating to the deaths of Anthony Fawcett, Emily Fawcett, and Frederick Anthony Fawcett, which had been ad journed to this day from Thursday last. A great number of persons thronged the inquest room during the proceedings. The jury having answered to their names, Ths CORONER briefly addressed them, and said the inquiry had been adjourned for the purpose of re ceiving the evidence of a witness who was present during the transaction to which their attention had already been directed. The surviving child, it was intimated to the Court by Mr. King, the surgeon, was so far recovered that it was the opinion of that gentleman she might be ex amined. She was then carried into court, but during the time she was giving her evidence she suffered se verely from exhaustion. The CORONER put several questions to the child with a view of ascertaining whether she knew the re sponsibility of an oath, and to which he received very satisfactory answers. She was then sworn and deposed as follows :—My name is Mary Ann Fawcett. I was eight years of age last April. My father's Christian name was An thony. Yesterday week I was living in Wyndlutm road. We came on the Saturday before. On the Tuesday morning I go . t_up, btu qo not know the hour. My father wasaat andsf-a6o my,, mother. My sister Emily and my brother Frederick Anthony were there. No other person on that morning was in the house. My father did something to me. My father cut me with a knife. He cut me with his carving knife. I was then in the first floor front room. He cut me on my neck. He also cut me on both hands. I do not know why he cut me, but I put my hands up to my neck. At that time I heard the baby cry ing. The baby is Frederick. He was in the parlour. I saw him there before I went up stairs. My father told me to go up stairs far a shirt collar. Before I went up I had just come down stairs. I only found the baby down stairs. He was lying down in bed. I first saw my father sitting at table at breakfast. I sat down to breakfast soon after, and my father was in the shop. When my father was in the shop he had his coat on. When my father asked me about ,the collar my mother had gone out to post a letter for my father. I- went up stairs and my father followed me up. When he came into the front room to me he had all his clothes on. My father first took bold of my neck and then cut me. I said " Don't father. After he had cut me he went into the back room where my sister Emily was. She was sitting up in bed, having her breakfast. I felt my neck, and found that it was cut. When my father went into the back room I ran down stairs. He then had the knife that he cut me with in his hand. I heard my sister cry out, " Oh, mother ; oh, mother." When I got into the parlour I saw the baby lying down on the floor against the window. I saw nothing particular about him. He had his night-gown on. I looked at him and saw that be was dead. I thought he was dead because he was cut in the neck. My father ran down stairs when I was in the parlour. He came into the parlour, took the knife off the table, and cut me again on my neck. My father said nothing to me. He cut me on the same side as he had done before— the left side. When he cut me a second time he ran into the kitchen. I did not follow him, but remained in the parlour. My mother was out when I was cut the second time. I heard a knock at the door not long after I had been cut a second time. My father was then in the kitchen, I opened the door for my mother. There were no lodgers in the house. No other person was in the house, and no person either came in or went out of the house before my mother came home. When I said, "Oh, don't father," he made no remark to me. My father did nothing to me before he sent me up stairs for the collar. I had not been down stairs more than five minutes before he sent me for it. When my father caught hold of me he put his hand on my mouth and pulled my head back. When I opened the door to my mother I do not recollect what I said. The CORONER declined to put any further ques tions, in consequence of the exhausted state of the child, who, however, signed her depositions, and was carried away. The CORONER then put it to the jury whether they considered it necessary to call the mother of the children ? One or two of the jury said they wished to put a few questions. Sophia Fawcett, the mother of the children, was then led into court in a sadly-distressed state. She said, the deceased, Anthony Faw ce tt, was my hus band. We came into this neighbourhood last Sa turday week. We removed from Wyndham-street, Ilryanstone-squere. We came to live at No. 1, Queen-place, Wyndham-road, Camberwell. Terse of our children removed to the place with us. My husband was a porter at a confectioner's. He took the business for the purpose of doing better for his family. He took a sh o p i n the general line. W e arrived at the shop soon a f ter six in the even i ng. On Tuesday morning we rose at a few minutes to six o'clock. I went down stairs at from half-past seven to eight o'clock. My husband was occupied in the shop attending to one or two customers. O ne young man in particular came in who was a stranger, who quite disheartened hire as to the business. He said, " I am sorry for Y ou i n tak i ng to t hi s s h op , there is no business to be done h ere. " My husband shook hi s head and was very low and dull from Saturd a y night. The same kind of remarks had been made by other persons frequently on Monday. O n T ues d ay morning I left home to go to a Mr. 13:idgeman, hi s l a t e to the Post-office to post t wo letters ; one was to go employer; and the other to a tea-dealer's. My h usband had written those letters on Monday ni g ht, b ut I do not know the con tents of one of them. Th e l etter sent to the tea-dealer ' s was merely to i nqu i re Why an order b a d no t b een sent. The object of th e l etter to Mr. Bridgeman was, as he told me, to tha n k hi m for his kindness. When I went out I left two daughters—Mary Ann and Emily, and a baby, nam e d Prederiek, at home. I was absent only about seven minutes at the outside. When I went from hom e th e front door was open. I went out by the shop door; On my return I pro ceeded to the private door, as the shop door was shut. I cannot tell whether I tried the shop door. I cannot remember that I did so. I remember going to the side door, which was also closed and fastened. When I knocked at the door I had no app re h ens i on that any thing wrong bad happened. Aft er I h a d knocked h idea was raised in my mind in consequence of the mindre o of m m e s y I hg husbandht m y being h u s in and was no more. This a dreadful excitement ever since Saturday .

TERRIBLE STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION 11V AMERICA THIRTY-FIVE PER ' SONS KILLED AND WOUNDED. EVANSVILLE, IND., SEPT. 22, 1851.—The steamer James Jackson exploded yesterday, just as she was leaving Shawneetown, in Illinois. A dreadful and heartrending scene ensued. Thirty-five persons were killed and wounded. The shrieks of the wounded and dying caused a thrill of horror in every breast. We received the sad news here this morning by the steamer Summit. The names of the sufferers, as far as we have teen able to learn, are as follow : John Francis, of Louisiana, badly wounded and scalded ; Philip Rance, of Louisiana, killed ; Captain Holmes, of Natchez, killed ; Captain Walker, of Ar kanzas, killed ; John Gromar, of Vera Cruz, wounded and scalded ; Emanuel Brown, of New Or leans, scalded; Soldier 'Warren, negro of Louisville, killed ; Isaac C. Green, of Texas, killed ; Moses Embrey, of Columbus, Ohio, wounded; Aus tin Johnson, of New Orleans, killed ; Judge Judas, killed ; Coleman, negro, killed ; Dr. W. Woodd, of Georgetown, Kentucky, killed ; Mr. Fisk, scalded ; Eliza Pitts, of Georgetown, scalded ; Mr. Slivey, of Arkansas, slightly wounded ; Andrew Southworth, of Louis ville, slightly wounded ; Mr. S. Kimball, of Albany, badly wounded; Mr. William Mitchell, of George• town, Kentucky, badly scalded; Miss Craff, seriously hurt; Charles Aloney, of Louisville, badly scalded; James Larkins, Louisville, slightly wounded; William Warren, late of Providence, slightly scalded; Isaac Goode, of Mississippi, received several contusions; W. Garrett and wife, slightly scalded; James McFadden, of Baton Rouge, badly scalded ; S. C. Thomas, of Tennessee, had his leg broken; Arnold Lashley, of Kentucky, received slight injuries; Mr. Beni!, of Mississippi, slightly scalded; R. S. Rashley, of Mis sissippi, slightly wounded ; Mary Imson and child, of Chillicothe, Ohio, killed ; P. K. Cochran, of New Orleans, slightly scalded ; Daniel Marshal, of Illinois, badly scalded ; D. Hood, of Mississippi, killed; J. J. Mitchel, of Mississippi, badly wounded; A. C. Kuno, slightly hurt ; Judge C. Morgan, of Louisiana, slightly scalded; Colonel Stewart, of Pennsylvania, seriously wounded ; R. E. McChatton, of Mississippi, badly hurt ; A. L. Laron, of Mississippi, badly wounded ; C. C. Shackelford, slightly burnt ; Mr. McE wen and Dr. Clien, the two pilots of the boat, were slightly wounded. Some eight or ten others, whose names could net be ascertained, were killed. The engineer in 'charge of the boat, immediately , after the explosion, is reported to have jumped over heard and reached the shore, when he took to the woods. A lady who got aboard at Shawneetown was killed before getting out of sight of her home. The steamer Cumberland Valley was but a short distance below the Jackson at the time of the explo sion, but immediately returned, and the officers ren dered all the assistance in their 'power. After taking on board the wounded, the Valley towed the Jackson on shore. The Jackson was completely torn to pieces from the fore to the after part of the cabin. Her boilers are smashed flat. Every assistance that could be rendered to the sufferers by our citizens was cheerfully done. P.S.—We regret to say that many of those scalded by the explosion on the steamer James Jackson have si❑ce died, while others continue in a critical position —New Yorh Herald. The Foreman delivered a formal verdict to the effect that Emily and Frederick Anthony Fawcett ware wilfully murdered by their father Anthony Faw cett; and that the said Anthony Fawcett came to his death by his own hand whilst in a fit of temporary insanity. Before dismissing this subject, it is but justice to mention the truly Christian feeling, displayed under the melancholy circumstances by Mr. Lee, a neigh bour, and a compositor in the employ of Messrs. Hansard. That gentleman, finding the poor widow and her child were in a state of destitution, and having no friends near to afford her a temporary asy lum apart from the horrid scene, at once made her an offer of his house, which on her part was readily ac cepted, and both himself and other branches of his family have ever since, both day and night, been un remitting in their attention to them. THE LATE GALES AND SHIPWRECKS. DUNDEE, OCT. 7.—On Saturday last, about two P.M., the pilots on board the cutter at the Buoy of Tay station, observed a large brig, about three miles S.S.W., with a signal of distress flying. The cutter immedi ately bore down on her, and dispatched a boat with assistance. The vessel proved to be a Prussian brig —the Traube, of Stettin, John Lorents, master, on a voyage from Leith for Stettin. She had been out two days from Leith, during which time she had leaked so much that the crew became quite exhausted by working at the pumps; and it was consequently re solved to make for the nearest shore. When boarded, the crow were totally unable to work at the pumps, and the pilots accordingly took charge of the vessel, and brought her to Broughty Ferry, where they were relieved by a party of fishermen, whom they cal'ed on board. The acting pilot, John Donaldson, then dis patched the men under his charge to this port for a tug-steamer. They succeeded in obtaining the Hercules, by which the brig was towed up to the east Tidal Harbour, where she remained till yesterday, the pumps being incessantly worked during the interval, when she was towed round to Earl Grey's Dock, where she must be discharged and surveyed before resuming her voyage. When first boarded by the pilots, she was found to have between three and four feet of water in the hold ; and the crew also bad their clothes packed up, and a supply of provisions and water prepared, and other arrangements made for leaving, in the event of their being unable to bring the vessel Lo l an d. G reat praise is due to the pilots, only five in number, for their exertions, as in all probability the vessel would otherwise have been lost. We understand that although the pilots were quite fresh on going on board, they were hardly able to keep the vessel afloat until they reached Broughty, where, in consequence of the smooth water, she leaked much less. The ship and cargo are valued at 1,5001. This is the first vessel in distress that has been picked up by the pilot cutter, and since she has been on the station, there has not been a single wreck of any vessel making for the Tay.—Dundee Advertiser. TOBERMOREY, OCT. 4.—For the last week the wind and weather have been very changeable and coarse towards nights, checking round to S.E., blowing hard, with heavy rain. Last night, about eleven o'clock, being very dark, thick, and dirty, wind S.E., the smacy Isabella, Love, of and from Belfast for Wick, ran on shore on the Arduamwicham Land, opposite Tobermorey, and is expected to become a total wreck; crew saved.—Shipping Gazette. WEYMOUTH.—On Wednesday last we experienced a tremendous gale from the southward, with an ex traordinary swell of sea ; the roughest neap tide ever recollected. About mid-day it blew a perfect hurri cane ; the sea presented a huge mass of agitated fpam, rolling over the Esplanade, and rising as high as the roof of the houses, rendering passing over the Na rrows dangerous for a time. Several houses in the town suffered much from the violence of the wind, in being partially unroofed, &c. The strength of the tide caused material damage to the foundation of th e lately-erected sea-wall under Greenhill. A remark able phenomenon with reference to the tide occurred during the gale; about half ebb it suddenly reflowed to the height of three feet in the h ar b our, and again retired.— Western Fly i ng Post. NEW YORK, SEPT. 27.—The brig Venus, at this port, in seventy-three days from New Orleans re ports—August 22, lat. 24, long. 83 30 experienced a severe gale from E.S.E., w hil e l y i ng to under close reefed topsails, at three P.M., shipped a sea, which washed away part of the deck load overboard, stove jolly-boat, br o k e i n t h e hatches, and did other damage, which caused the brig to leak badly.

Captains A ustin and Ommanney, the officers, and men have returned, we are happy to say, in most robust health ; and it does great credit to the arrangements in the squadron when we state that during the absence of the expedition only one man has been lost out of the crews of the four vessels. The officers of the Portsmouth Dockyard were individually introduced to the new Commander-in- Chief, Admiral Brigs, by Admiral-Superintendent ice. Prescott, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at the _ Admiralty-house. Avon steam-tender, Second Master Commander Veitch, arrived at Portsmouth on Monday, a n d h as . proceeded to Devonport. Rattler screw steam-sloop, Commander Mellersb, is caulking; she has gone alongside the coal depot, to complete her fuel. Major-General Lord Fitz3la rence and family are expected to embark about Satur day or Monday next. The Rattler will be out of the • hands of the dockyard on Thursday evening. Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., arrived at Valpa • raiso August 10, from Monte Video. Vulcan screw troop- ship, Master Commander Penn, ;34 left Torbay on Monday for Cork. The clipper yacht America is in Portsmouth Har bour, and is to go on the graving slip to-day. PonTsmourn, WEDNESDAY.--The Dauntless, 33, screw-frigate, Captain Halsted, having encountered very heavy weather in the Channel, put back to St. Ice Helen's on Sunday. Durtrig the time • she was out one of the pipes of the condenser of her cooking galley (Grant's) gave way, which it was necessary should be repaired before the ship left England. Mr. John • Davies, master-attendant of the Clarence yard (who i% now superintends the manufacture of Grant's im proved galley for the navy), with much promptitude ru went out to the ship and brought ashore the condenser, which was repaired and sent off again this afternoon. Shipwrights have been sent from the dockyard to fix it, and the Dauntless is expected to sail to-morrow morning, at daylight, for Lisbon. ; The Rattler's rudder-head has been found so defec -1% tive as to require to be unshipped and brought on shore. Every exertion is being used to complete the • I repair of it by to-morrow, so that the embarkation of 1 % Major- General Frederick Fitzoturence, G.C.H , the 1% ;34 Lieutenant- Governor of this garrison, family, and suite, for Madeira, may take place at the time ap ,u pointed. The Rattler is ordered to sail on Friday. *4 The Odin steam-frigate, Commander Sir W. Wise. man, Bart., came into harbour to-day, and has resumed her former position as a reserve steamer. 6d The Sprightly stea m - vesse l, M r . G. Allen, M as t er - Commanding, returned from Woolwich to-day, bring.. ;% ing Mr. Roberts, Master of the Blenheim, and a party of riggers who navigated the Defence convict-ship hence to Woolwich. WooLvacsr, OCT. 8.--The Resolute, Capt. Horatio T. Austin, C. 8., and the Assistance, Captain Erasmus Ommanney, were both taken into one dock to-day, with their masts and rigging all standing ; and the Pioneer screw steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Paid. I Price. Osborn, and Intrepid screw steam-vessel, Lieutenant - Commander Cator, into the basin, with their rigging and masts all standing, and on the whole of the vessels , being paid off to-morrow it is intended to retain • some of the officers and petty officers of each vessel, and they will be borne on the books of the Fisgard, flag-ship at this port, for the protection of the stores. A party from the Assistance found the broken blade of an oar at Cape Hotham having the word " Friend _ ship" cut on it, and having, apparently, belonged to a , whale fishing-vessel of that name. They also found large staves of casks that had evidently contained oil. On the Carey Islands they found two cairns, but al though they dug five feet under one of them they could not find any written or printed documents. They found on one of the cairns a small piece of board, the initials of what may have been intended for three persons, and the date 1827. It may be in some degree satisfactory to know that there is not an officer ' connected with Captain Austin's expeditionjwho gives the least credence to Adam Beck's story of the murder of Sir John Franklin's companions, and Cap tee. tain Ommanney ascertained beyond doubt that only three families have existed for a long period near the place where the murders were said to have been com mitted. FULIGINOUS EXPANDING MACHINE. Among the many improvements science has brought under our notice, few are likely to add more to our domestic comfort than the apparatus for clean ing chimneys, patented by Mr. Osman Geddy (che mist to his late Majesty), called the " Fuliginous Expanding Machine." We had the opportunity of seeing it used in one of our Government buildings through seven chimneys, three of which had recently been cleansed, and although never used, Geddy's fuli ginous machine brought down a quantity of soot, and from one in the upper story the enormous bulk of two and a half bushels; and through which no machine ever invented hitherto has passed from bottom to the top. 'Will not this account to the public for the many disastrous fires and loss of property ? Masses of this soot that had corroded in a slope in the chimney have been submitted to our inspection, and we find it of an extremely ignitable character from length of time. An association is formed, and work ing this fuliginous apparatus in Pimlico, Chelsea, and Brompton, to the great satisfaction and comfort of those within its reach; and we find also they are daily cleansing chimneys in high houses in and about Belgravia, some of which no former brushes could have cleansed without the aid of climbing boys, many having angles of 110 degrees. It is well known that the machine carried about by the common sweep is of very inefficient construction, yet it may be passed up a chimney, and you go out side, to have ocular demonstration that it emerges at the top; it is diligently worked down again —very little soot has accompanied it, and you flatter your self that the flue is not foul ; after a short interval the operation is repeated, but gradually the chimney ceases to draw, and you find your house filled with smoke ; at length you send for a bricklayer or cowl maker, to see if there be not some defect in his pro vince to rectify, and he speedily discovers, if he goes at once to the t o p, th a t th e c hi mney - pot i s c b oa k e d inside with soot, h ar d ene d b y t h e weat h er , l ea ving only a perforation wide enough for the wooden part of the sweeping machine to free its way through, but firmly resisting the action of the whalebone-brush, th e can only observation be ; but now th at there is guessed by th a t w hi c h i s sides of which glide over instead of removing th ese corrosions. What may be the state of the other p ar t of withinthe fl re u a e c this Geddy's fuliginous machin er y, w hi ch has been pronounced by the highest aut h or i ties in the king dom to be in every re s p ec t superior to all others, the public need no lon ger b e subject to the annoyance and expense of having their work improperly done. The machine possesses several claims to originality; its chief peculiarity consists in the adoption of a cir cular brush, which is divided into four parts, and, being fixed on springs, is capable of expansion and compression in every shape of chimney, or every eccentricity of angle.; at the apex there is a ball moving on a universal joint, which guides the brush in angular flues ; below the brush there is another universal joint, which, when the top comes in contact with the shoulder of an angle, allows the brush to assume the shape indicated by the acuteness or ob tuseness of the angularity. There is much ingenuity displayed in the construction of the Jointsgh w hich machine is con nect the canes or rods by whi worked, and whereby the revolving S o r rotatory v entions were mo tion, by which all other similar 111 ren dered almost inoperative, is in this e ff ectually t avoided. in new City There are several provishms Sewers Aet burial -grounds in the city of London.

Athenamm. DISCOVERY of a PLOT to REVOLU TIONE4E ENGLAND ! An attempt, mad as it was bold, conceived, as all such things are, in America, has been defeated for the time by the open manner in which the revolutionary party con ducted their affairs. The object i however, of the intruders was to effect a change in our sotlal ingttution. Persons were detect 4. issuing proclantations inviting the people to pron - ounce in their favour. The appeal to the Ladies of England exhorts them to imi tate the leader, a nondescript, named Bloomer, sex doubtful, and no longer to disguise themselves in the chaste and elegant fashions of our glorious land. The pure minds of English ladies have defeated the Bloomer conspiracy for the present. It was first said that Messrs. E. 310$ES and SON had some concern in the Bloomer movement ; but as their establishment, gigantic as it is, would be inadequate to such an accession of busineas, this idea was at once absurd. It is true Messrs. E. MOSES and SON make every kind of apparel ; they have separate warehouses for ladies, who are at tended upon by ladies. In these various departments may be found in perfection every article in Linens, Silks, Furs, Boets, Shoes, Hos ery, besides superb Shawls, Dresses, Habits, and Cloaks. As for general outfits and male attire, Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have for years, by means of able artists, set the fashion, and continually re plenished their extensive warehouses with every imaginable descrip tion of dress for noblemen, gentlemen, clergymen, men of fashion, tradesmen, sportsmen, workmen and labourers, which for quality of material, strength, usefulness, w atness, elegance, and superior workmanship never was and never will be surpassed, and all this, too, at half the prices charged by others for inferior clothing.

It is rarely that we have to record the particulars of a more daring robbery in one of the most fre quented highways in the neighbourhood than was committed on the evening of Sunday last, on the road across Roborough Down, leading from Tavistock to Plymouth. The speed, too, with which hard-fisted justice followed upon the heels of the delinquent im parts an interest to the facts which such cases do not often povess. The circumstances are these :—An old man named Bellamy, formerly a resident of this town, but more recently an inmate of the Okehampton union work house, set out on Monday morning from the latter place, intending to walk to Ply mou th, w h ere, i t i s said, some of his friends reside. Ile had in his possession when he commenced his journey the sum of fifteen shillings, which was deposited in a leathern purse, and with staff in hand, and companion by his side in the person of John Hartner, a la bourer whom he met with at a c o mmon lodging house at Okehampton, the walk to Tavistock was accomplished about noon of the same day. Hers they tarried awhile, and having disposed of three or four pints of beer, again turned their faces towards Ply mouth. On their way they stopped to pay their re spects to the landlord of the Magpie, but nothing fur ther occurred until they had entered upon the " Downs." Here they were overtaken by William Dilling, a jockey in the service of Mr. Thomas, horse-dealer, of Plymouth, who, having three horses with him, invited the wayfarers to ride. Hartner readily accepted the offer, and having mounted one of the two disengaged animals, was seemingly about to ride off with Dilling, when the old man, Bellamy, called to them, and asked to be allowed to mount the other horse. This was agreed to, and the two pro ceeded on the road until they reached the Buller's Arms, a wayside inn, near Roborough Rock. Here more drink was had, for which Bellamy paid, reducing the amount in his possession to 14s. As he had already imbibed rather snore ale than was good for his health's sake, and, like a sensible toper, was conscious of the fact, he declined to share the third pint for which Dillingcalled, but said he would ride on at a foot pace, and his companions could follow him. To this they consented, and the old man's story is, that hearing a horseman behind him about twenty minutes after wards, he turned to greet his newly-found " friend," when he suddenly received a blow from a whip across his eyes, which was succeeded by another on the temple, which knocked bim off his horse, and the next moment he found Dillin g kneeling on s breast and rifling his pockets, Hartn er being alooker-on. This done, he was left extended by the side of the road, where he remained lying for a short time, when four men dressed in the garb of miners came up, and brutal having l earn t th e p ar ti cu l ars of the manner in which he had been treated, they left him with the as surance that if they overtook the rascals as they hoped EXTENSITE FIRE AT BUFFALO. with several th squares The New York Herald contains the following ac count of the disastrous tiro which broke :—"ouAt in the city of Buffalo on the 26th of September of very the city L o'clock de structivekoowhasfirethberoHkeooohust, t in oge th th is er citabout four this morning. The whole of the y se ction north,. between the Niagara Falls railroad and are in ashes. A strong south-east wind was blowing eake, y, and in less t v h er the time, and the buildings all being of wood and aty dry, the fire spread with fearful rapidity, 15 minutes the entire block of buildings in Rock and Pea. an cock-streets, from the ship canal and Erie-street to Evans-street, was in flames. The fire then crossed Erie street. and seized upon the large plaining mill of the Messrs. Elton. It then crossed the canal and Erie street -bridge, sweeping everything on the opposite side of the canal to the Terrace, thence down the Terrace to Mechanic-street, on both sides of the canal. At this point, through the greatest exertion, the flames were checked. The number of building destroyed is over 500. Among them is a largo brick schoolhouse in Erie street, District No. 2. A large amount of lumber in the Messrs, Eaton's mill and yard was destroyed. Also an immense quantity of lumber in the yards of George Oenell and the Messrs. Farmer and De Bloquiere. It is feared that a number of persons have been buri4 to death. One dead body has been taken from the ruins. The loss is roughly estimated at 500.000 dollars. The insurance on the property is very slight. The buildings burnt were nearly all of wood. One of the firemen was seriously burnt while endeavouring to check the flames. The number of families turned out of house and home by this disaster is great almost beyond conception, the most of the houses destroyed being occupied by poor families. Many of them barely escaped with their lives, so fearfully rapid was the progress of the flames." SALE AT KNOWSLEY. The business on Tuesday was confined to the sale of the antelopes. The proceeds yesterday amounted to nearly 5001. The same company, with a few ad ditions, were again in attendance.
