The little tenement at Stratford-upon-Avon, which until very recently has been occupied by a butcher, and which tradition declares to have been the birth place of WILLIAM SIULSPERE, is no longer to re main the prize of a mere hucksterer of curiosities. Thanks to the enthusiasm and activity of the com mittees of London and Stratford-upon-Avon, it was purchased yesterday at the Auction Mart of Mr. ROBINS, for the sum of three thousand pounds : it is now the property of the nation ! Those who recog nise in this only a momentary extravagance, arising out of a romantic reverence for the fame of a dra matist, are incapable of appreciating what is holiest and noblest in the nature of our common huma nity, and are incompetent to discern even a single ray of a glory that pervades and jillumines the whole globe. Is there wanting a testimony that this mark of homage—a mark of homag€ more splendid than was ever before paid to the memory of mortal—was by no means premature, by no means conventional, by no means the effusion of a merely casual or intermittent excitement ? The fact is attested by a thousand circumstances—by the con course of a vast multitude of pilgrims to the place of his nativity—by that supreme and affecting admira tion which has conducted the illustrious of distant lands to the cottage and the shrine—by the autographs of the immortal and obscure, the kings, the princes, the nobles, the historians, the artists, the poets, the warriors, the citizens, the brave and the beautiful, the student and the worldling, the merchant and the philosopher, written when they went to un cover the head and bow down the spirit in the humble room where his eyes first opened to a world destined to resound for evermore with his fame, and to be dazzled by his surpassing genius. Could the souls of the great departed re visit the scenes of their bodily existence, then must SUAKSPERE have exulted in the knowledge of how ' he had gone forth with ignominy from his native village, and how he had lived to raise that village to a dignity beyond that of the most gigantic marts of commerce—a celebrity that should survive while the ruins of Persepolis decayed beneath the touch of Time, and the walls of Carthage crumbled in the dust of Africa. Could the eternal spirits of the dead obtain a consciousness of the estimation of posterity, then must SHAKSPERE have rejoiced at the millions who have, year after year, month after month, day after day, pressed onwards in their pilgrimage to the spot in which he was born and died, to gaze upon the dila pidated house which had been his cradle, and look with awe upon the epitaph which protected his bones with a blessing and a malediction. And how immeasurably would such a sense of exultation be enhanced now that a whole nation has pronounced its reverence for his memory g w by claimin g f or i tself the dwelling which is said to have sheltered hi s i n f ancy, and preserving from dese cration or destruction the earth which had been hal lo,ved by his footprints. We cannot persuade ourselves that even the most ignorant economists can regard these three thousand pounds of the national . moneys as frivolously ex pended. We cannot think that there is a m an i n existence so blind to the influences of genius as not to recognise the moral advantages resulting from such an employment of the public contributions. The most unimaginative must behold in this proceeding a brilliant token of the advancement of civilization in these realms, and a lesson calculated to inspire the uneducated mechanic with aspirations beyond those which have, in bygone centuries, been prevalent throughout the humbler classes of society. Every one whose heart thrills at the name of SHAY sPERB---and there are, and have been, and will be millions be grateful to those individuals who courted for themselves the responsibility of securing to the nation the lowly tenement associated, by such reverent traditions, with his earthly career, in the little street called Henley-street, in the little village called Ztratford-upon-Avon. They have conferred upon the empire a boon which has been preserved by th ree thousand pounds, but which could not be created' I '- R - TILE _ - by the riches of the earth, or even, to quote the — magnificent expletive of OTHELLO, "by the sea's wealth !" While the arrangements were making, preliminary to the anticipated auction of yesterday, it will be remembered that Lord MoapEru, as Chief Commissioner of the Woods and Forests, promised to meet the munificence of the people in a suitable manner—he engaged that, pro viding the Shakspere property at Stratford were purchased by public subscriptions, the Government would for ever afterwards ensure its preservation. Now that the property hes been purchased by public subscriptions, the Government will have to fulfil the engagement spontaneously made through the de claration of the Noble Viscount. The tene ment and the adjoining buildings henceforth belong to the nation—the protection and guardian ship of these relics of the Glorious Dead devolve upon the Government. Remembering that such is the mutual understanding between the State and the community, it is at once obvious that there cannot be an immediate Conservation without an immedia to Conservator. The bare fact that Go vernment has guaranteed the security of the property will not, as if by magic, prevent accident, or raise a barrier against the grati fication of individual cupidity. The incendiary is not to be quelled by a promise ; the pillaging tourist is not to be affrighted by a stipulation. There must necessarily be some agent of the Legislature resident upon the spot to carry its intentions into effect, to watch over the condition of the dwelling-house and keep in awe the pilfering predilections of such as may resort to the locality. It is equally manifest, moreover, that whoever may be employed in this honourable manner by the Government, whoever may be elevated to the dignity of being nominated the Guardian of the Home of SHAKSPERE—that individual must be a man of such reputation as to justify the Administration in con fiding to his care the national treasure. Of all classes in the community, which is there more suitable:to furnish a man capable of filling this office than the literary ? Of all orders of literature, which more appropriate than the dramatic ? Of all dramatists, who more worthy than SHERIDAN KNOWLES ? We do earnestly put it to Lord MORPETTI, and through the medium of that Noble Lord, to the Government generally, that by conferring this appointment, with a suitable income, upon SHERIDAN KNOWLES—the most distinguished dramatist of a day when we can boast a TALFOURD and a BULWER LYTTON—they will be confiding the birthplace of SHARSPERE to the fittest man in her MAJESTY'S do minions, and will be compensating a very brilliant and poetic genius for many years of unmerited neg lect. With SHAKSPERE'S Home the property of the nation, and SHERIDAN KNOWLES the first guardian of that Home appointed by the Government, we may then assuredly exult in the knowledge that the dead and living adornments of Literature are widely ap preciated and suitably cherished. Then may the pilgrim of future ages, as he traverses the antique street of Stratford, or pauses in the churchyard by the banks of the beautiful Avon, remember that this generation prized the lives as well as the relics of our national bards, then may he, with a profounder feeling of homage for the great man who has shed a lustre on the name of England, stand on the threshold, by the tomb, and in the meadow, where, in the exquisite and loving language of JOHN MILTON— " Our sweetest Shakspere, Fancy's child, Warbled his native wood-notes wild." The fearful mortality that has taken place on board many of the emigrant vessels—amongst the unfortunate passengers—who, flying from the desti tution and misery that was so frightfully prevalent in their unhappy country during the latter end of the last and the beginning of the present year, en countered dangers more fatal, and horrors more awful than those from which they fondly hoped they had escaped—has attracted the public attention, and awakened the liveliest sympathies for the ill-fated sufferers, and the most earnest determination to prevent the recurrence of such heartrending events, by every means practicable. It is the especial duty of the nation to see that efficient mea sures should be adopted for the preservation of the health and lives of those who have sought new homes in another hemisphere, during the perilous voyages they may be compelled to un dergo in the first instance, and subsequently to their arrival, until they shall be placed in positions to earn their own livelihood by the exercise of their honest industry. It is due to those who are departing, and it is due to the inhabitants of the lands in which they are about to take up their future abode, that the new colonists should be landed in health and strength, and that disease and pestilence should no longer be wafted to their shores from the parent state. We say the parent state, because it is amongst the vessels that have sailed to our own colonies that the mischief has attained the most fearful height—the stringent regu lations and the heavy penalties introduced in the seve ral ports of the United States having effectually pre vented the negligence and carelessness on the part of the shipowners that has led to such lamentable results. This duty is rendered more_ imperative be cause a certain degree of encouragement has been afforded to that emigration, a clause having been in serted in the recent Irish Poor-law Act, by which the several unions are allowed, on certain condition s to make rates for that purpose without limitation of amount. The Legislature, which thus sanctioned the sending abroad of so many British subjects for; the pecuniary benefit of a class, are bound to make provision for the manner in which that ob ject shall be carried into execution, and to take care that thousands of human victims shall not be sacri ficed in order that some trifling expense may be avoided. When we find, in some instances, that of those who have left their native land full of hope and confidence, considerably more than one-fourth had died on the passage, and a still larger number had been stricken with the disease by which their brethren had perished, and were scarcely enabled on their arrival to drag their enfeebled frames to the hospitals and lazarettos provided for their recep tion, it becomes unnecessary to urge at any length, the propriety of the most searching inquiry into the causes of this horrible fatality, and the adoption of every possible precaution for the future. It i 3 svol known what fearful mortality was occa sioned in former days by the ravagli of what was termed the gaol fever. The unfortunate prisoners, debtors as well as criminals, were swept away by hundred s — a sentence of confinement for any lengthened period was almost tantamount to a sen tence of death. " Lasciate ogni speranza voi the intrate" might, indeed, have been inscribed Over .. the prison gates. Remedies were, however, provided through the philanthropi cal lab ours of a liowaa A better and more wholesome diet Zs . afforded to the captives, a proper ventilation was in troduced, the filth and dirt that had previously beef, suffered to accumulate was got rid of, and cleanliness rigidly enforced, and what has been the result? The disease is no longer to be discovered. It has been completely extirpated from the localities in which it formerly ran riot, and our gaols are now as free from disease and sickness as any other parts of the kingdom ; indeed, we believe that, notwithstanding the confinement and the moral depression that must necessarily exist, the average mortality is less amongst the inmates of the prisons than amongst an equal number of persons at liberty. If such humane atten tion has justly and properly been bestowed on the condition o f th ose w h o h ave v i o l a t e d the law, and committ e d o ff ences o f ever y d egree of who magnitude, why sho u ld it b e w i t hh e ld f rom o th ers , are free from crime, whose only rep roach is their poverty ?

The Government may not be enabled to ob- Xlll4, LOWDONi FRIDAY EVENING-5_ _SEP,EMBER 17i MO, taro the services of Mr. EDWIN CLIAWICK or Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, but there are many other com petent persons who will gladly devote themselves to the inquiry, and from whom we may look for the suggestion of practical and efficient measures. No time is to be lost. Early in the ensuing spring the tide of emigration will again set in, and unless immediate steps are taken, we may have another year of horrors, of suffering, and of death amongst the passengers. We should not anticipate the recommendations that would be offered ; some steps are, however, so obvious, that they cannot be over looked. No vessel laden with a human freight should be suffered to leave our shores without the presence of a medical man duly qualified, who shouldsail with her, and take charge of the emigrants on board. No con vict vessel sails without a surgeon, and why should not the health of the emigrants be as closely looked after? Every vessel about to sail should be inspected by officers duly authorised to inspect the ship's stores, and to see that they are perfectly good, and fully adequate to maintain the number of passengers and crew that may be taken on board. No passenger whose health or strength was impaired should be suffered to proceed until his stamina was restored, and there was a fair prospect of his being enabled to bear the fatigue of the voyage. A greater number should not be ad mitted on board than there was ample and sufficient accommodation for, and proper ventilation and clean liness should be strictly enjoined, which the surgeon or medical officer should be bound to see enforced. A sufficient quantity of the disinfecting fluid, the value of which has been tested in our hos pitals, to purify the stenches and abominable odours that are so prevalent on board of crowded ships: should also be taken. By such measures we may hope that the dangers of the voyage would be greatly reduced, and that the emigrants would arrive at the place of their destination in a healthy and ro bust condition, duly qualified to undergo the toils and labours incidental to their new position. The following is the official account from the Journal of the Two Sicilies of the insurrectionary attempt at Messina and Reggio : " The men who have in so unexpected a manner disturbed the tranquillity of the inhabitants of Reggio and Messina during the first two days of this present month, are individuals whose character can excite no sympathy except among the abandoned. Their con dition proves that pillage was more their object than reform. " At :Messina, on the evening of the Ist of Sep tember, a band of criminals, in the foolish hope of exciting a large portion of the population, attacked all the military posts, beginning, according to the cus tom of thieves, with that of the Bank. This attack cost them dear, and destroyed the best part of their hopes. They were received by a fire from the garri son kept up during two hours, by which time they might be convinced both of the uselessness of their attempt and the bravery of the defenders of public order. " Deceived in their hope of assistance, discouraged by the attitude of the population, which trusted not less in itself than in the force which defended it, they took: precipitately to flight, having expiated their temerity by the loss of a great number in killed and wounded. The public force has also sustained some loss, but less considerable, as happens always when Courage is combined with discipline. It is proud of having shed its blood to furnish a new proof of its at tachment to the throne and the institutions of the country. Field-Marshal Landiavas commander. " As to the seditious commotion in Reggio, the conspirators, whether flattered or not by the same hopes as their confederates of Messina, pursued exactly the same course. They spread, or caused to he spread, a report that the revolt had triumphed in Messina, and that they had only to speak to make it triumph equally in Reggio, and to propagate it throughout the surrounding district. Clandestine insinuations were not wanting, promising mounts and marvels to the fools who allowed themselves to be en trapped by such trickery—a tissue of lies and knavery that is always formed after the same pattern. The reports thus spread caused much more alarm in Reggio than they had in Messina, principally from the circumstance that the garrison was far weaker. The military command of the town was entrusted to Field-Marshal the Prince of Aci. The first day of the month was passed in fear and doubt. On the morrow, when the seditious party threw off the mask and began to disturb the public tranquillity, the in habitants shut themselves up in their houses, and waited anxiously the appearance of the royal troops. But before these arrived the rebels opened the prisons in order to extract thence glorious hopes for the happiness of the people and the champions of civilization. The gendarmerie which guarded the prisons was weak in number, as some detachments had been sent in pursuit of the Calabrian robbers. Nevertheless it did not yield to numbers without re sistance. The captain of the gendarmes was killed by a shot from one of the leaders of the revolt. The murderer is a criminal egho has squandered his own means and those of others, as we learn from the par ticulars of his history which have reached us. What else could be anticipated of men to whom a life of vice and despair leave no other hopes than those of pillage, perpetrated in the name of revolution ? What shall we say of their comrades and followers ? " Their orgy, which began at San-Stefano, the resort of so much crime, lasted until the 4th, at nine in the evening, at which hour the steamers appeared off the coast of Reggio, bearing troops sent to the aid of the town, who, after feigning a debarkation at Reggio, effected one on the beach at Pentemele. The revolters had then no resource but to turn tail, in which they only followed the example given by their chief's, the leaders of the revolt. Being pursued, they halted for a moment at the cemetery, but upon more conside ration retired into the mountains, their numbers wasting every moment, as many of them were ar rested, and others returned of their own accord to the prisons whence they had been released. Cries of " Vice le Roi," repeated a thousand times to the so lemn thunder of the cannon, and the sight of the royal standard replaced upon the castle in the midst of universal joy, reinspired the inhabitants with con fidence. " His Royal Highness the Count d'Aquile, corn manding the division on board the steamer, who wit nessed the termination of the revolt, has reported the complete re-establishment of tranquillity in both cities. On all sides praises are unanimously given to the firmness and bravery which the troops testified upon this occasion. " Such is this grand drama, plotted in darkness, and which was foretold as the end of the world. The denouement proves that the miserable performers blinded by their detestable passions, have built upon the waves and sown upon the sand." It should be remembered that the .lournal of the Two Sicilies is the official organ of the Government, and that implicit reliance cannot, therefore, be placed on its account of this outbreak, or of the character of those engaged. It would appear, however, from the violence of the language employed by the official journal that the insurrection is of far too serious a nature to be treated with contempt, and that the Government is thoroughly alarmed. Letters which have been received from Palermo give a somewhat different account of this insurrection, and state that outbreaks took place at Catania and Syracuse at the same moment that Messina and Reggio rose in arms. At Messina an attempt was made to take all the officers of the garrison prisoners, at a dinner which they gave on the Ist of September to General liusacca. The officers, however, had left the hotel before the arrival of the insurgents, who attacked thet and citadel, grape, where and they repulsed the carriage o f G enera l B usAcc a, woun ded him to severely, and kill e d hi s servant . Th ey pursue d hi m were af fi te r r ed a upon fight wefiththcreae nis hours. On the 2d the attack was renewed, and they were again repulsed and fled to the hills near Mes• sina. The cries of the insurgents were " Viva Li berty," " Viva the Constitution," Viva Pius IX." A monk paraded the streets, bearing a tri-coloured flag, during the disturbance, and other flags were hoisted of red and green, with a yellow cross, sprinkled with stars. At Reggio, which is situated on the main land immediately opposite to Messina, an insurrec tion broke out at the same time. The insurgents were for a time successful at Reggio; they defeated the gar rison, killing an officer and eighteen men, and hoisted a tri-coloured flag (black, red, and green), bearing a yellow cross, with stars and a mitre. They remained in possession of the town 24 hours, and did not disperse until the arrival of the steamtransports from Naples with 2,000 troops, when they withdrew to the mountains. At Palermo the troops were under arms, and patrolling the town, when the last accounts left, and all the gunpowder in the town had been seized by the officials. Messina, Syracuse, Catania, and the whole of the Calabrian coast had been placed under an embargo. It was said that an insurrection had broken out in the interior of the island, and the insurgents had possession of the town of Castro Giovanni. In The Sun of yesterday we published a letter from Milan, of the Bth, giing an account of a dis turbance which had broken.)ut on the preceding day. It appears that the distubance commenced by an attack of the Austrian polio on the people assembled to f?te their new Archbishol and the excuse for the attack was, that the people Nished to sing the hymn to the POPE. The people reisted, and compelled the police to retreat into the paace of the Archbishop, who came out and exhorted the people to disperse quietly, which they immediatly did, and the disorder ceased. On the WI the pcice, fearing the people might again assemble, dispeaed them wherever they found them. The city we: placed under military occupation, and detachments,f Austrian troops estab lished in all the principal paces. Several collisions between the troops and the )cople took place in the course of the day, and maw persons were arrested. .The populace is much exasperated, and a further outbreak is feared. I iLetters from Athens ofile 2flth ult. state that th• Turkish Consul in that city has received orders from the Porte to keep ready 'or departure, and to com municate the instructions to the other Turkish Con suls in Greece. The governors of the Turkish pro vinces have given notice to all the Greek subjects there to quit the territory within twenty days, after which term they will le considered its Turkish subjects. _ . The Turkish fleet now cruising in the Archipelago consists of six ships of the line and four frigates. The French papers had lot arrived at the time we went to press. Letters from Madrid of the 9th state that Senor PACHECO, the late Premier, has accepted the embassy to Rome. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCII ANGE, SEPTEMBER 16.

IN RE TUE THING AND READING RAILWAY. I'o-day was appointed for declaring a final dividend under this company. Mr. LAWRENCE said that the funds which had come into the hands of the assignees were sufficient to pay a dividend of 20s. in the 11., interest at 4 per cent., on all the debts paid, and there would be a surplus of 7,2001. divisible between the shareholders. Under the Act 7 and 8 Vic. c. 1, s. 111, for winding up the affairs of joint stock companies, show subscribers might be called upon to pay any deficiency, but in this case, fortunately, the expense need not be in curred, as, instead of their having to contribute any thing, they would receive at present at least 11. per share, as only 6,600 shares had been taken up. There was also a loan of about 5,0001. due from a stock broker of high respectability, who would no doubt pay, and also cne from the Gloucester and Aberystwith and Great Western Extension Rail way Companies. He (Mr. Lawrence) had also to remark, in order to counteract an opinion which was very prevalent, and only kept up by parties interested, that the fees of the official assignee were enormous in these large estates, and that re sorting to this court was a most expensive mode of winding up the affairs, but in this case, although some sharp altercation had taken place on the sub ject, Mr. Graham's charges were only 581. 1 ls., although 9,301/. had passed through his hands. Mr. Lawrence also said that Messrs. Hill and Everill, the solicitors to the compan?, had given up all the papers, and afforded every assistance. His HoNocit held that Mr. Forde, the promoter of the scheme, could not prove against the company, but the final dividend was adjourned for six weeks, that he might petition the Lord Chancellor, and for notice to be given for all other creditors, if any, to come in, the dividend, &c., to be paid in the mean time on all the debts proved. SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.) (Before P. W. FRESIIFIELD, Esq., and a bench of Magistrates.) Ann Smith was indicted for stealing seven shil lings from Jane Sandley. . It appeared that the latter party was sent by her parents to purchase some articles of food. While crossing near Newington Causeway she was accosted by the prisoner, who robbed her of the money, and ran away. The jury found her Guilty. She was again indicted for stealing from George Russell, four handkerchiefs, and seven handkerchiefs the property of John Boyer. She was also found Guilty of stealing several other handkerchiefs, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. Ann Barry was indicted for stealing three knives and three forks, the property of Thomas Lane. The prosecutor is a coffeehouse-keeper in the borough, and on the evening of the 12th of August, she went into his house and had a cup of coffee. After she left the property was missed, and on her being followed, it was found on her. Verdict Guilty.—Sentenced to twenty-eight days solitary confinement. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) Henry Salisbury was charged with having com mitted a burglary on the premises of Mr. Jack, provision merchant and shipping agent, Glasshouse yard, Whitechapel, as long back as the month of June, 1843. Mr. Jack stated that about the middle of June, 1843, his premises were burglariously entered, his drawers broken open, and a gold watch and guard-chain, two gold seals, some rings, and other articles were ab stractkid. Suspicion tell upon the prisoner, who then lived immediately opposite the premises, and who ab sconded. He never saw him again till yesterday, when he met him in the city, and gave him into cus tody.

Witness immediately proceeded to the premises, and on an examination found the burglars had entered through the cellar grating, and broken open several doors. Some of the property was traced to the pri soner's mother, who was apprehended, and remanded twice on the charge at Lambeth Police Court. The prisoner absconded, and a large reward was offered for his apprehension. He (Sergeant Foay) discovered that he had gone to sea. If th case were remanded, witness could produce a painter to whom the prisoner sold the watch and guard-chain, and who would also prove that a few days after the burglary the mother of the prisoner came to him and brought two gold seals, which she asked him to bury in his garden, as she said her son had got into trouble. Mr. Pelham, who defended the prisoner, said at present he would only make one observation, and that was, that his client had actually been several times since in the company of the prosecutor, and on one occasion they sat in the same church. Mr. BALLANTINE observed, that if this were so, no doubt it could be easily proved; but at present there was very grave suspicion against the prisoner. He inquired of the sergeant when he would be prepared with his witnesses ?—Sergeant Foay replied that he might be able to produce them in a few hours, if not a short remand would suffice. Mr. BALLANTINE then ordered the case to stand over, and the prisoner was removed to the cells. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a very dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, and prices further declined. American sold at 6kd. to 70. Railway Shares were very dull and further depressed. Great excitement has been occasioned in the City by the announcement that Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co., have suspended payments. This house enjoyed an European reputation, and we are satisfied that its embarrassment arises not from any " old sore," or gradual decay, but from temporary circumstances, over which they could have no control. We are not aware of the exact position of this great house since the decease of Mr. Irving, who possessed a most ample fortune, but commercial men are best sensible of the influence of such a loss. Sir John Rae Reid is a Bank director, and three or four years since served the office of Governor. The American bills of July falling due at present have no doubt seriously pressed upon houses deprived of their usual discount facilities ; but we trust, that as the drafts of Prime, Ward, and Co., are duly protected, the American trade will not be further disturbed. The Corn trade is very steady, and advanced rates have been obtained for grain. The rapid decline which occurred yesterday after noon in the value of the Public Securities, and which was the result of sales both for Money and Time, was attributed to private information of further impending disasters in the mercantile world, and no doubt parties likely to be inconvenienced by any reaction in public confidence have been taking care to provide themselves with funds to meet the worst We have seldom known such a prostration in the tone of mercantile feeling as has prevailed within the last few days, and all the effect of corn speculations, and of the restriction put upon the Bank, whereby it is deprived of the power of affording assistance to even the most solvent houses. In fact the Bank has the means, and needs but the authority. Console have been 851 I for transfer, and 85i for account. Exchequer bills are 2s. to ss. premium.

This morning, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a fire broke out at the Duke's Head public house, kept by Mr, Hunt, in Little Pulteney-street, Golden-square. As police-constable Hollamby, 135 C, was proceeding along the street , his attention was attracted to the house by seeing a volume of smoke issuing from the door, accompanied by a dense body of flame. He immediately alarmed the inmates, and sent off to the station for:assistance. Shortly after wards the engines arrived, and by the united exer tions of the police and the firemen the destructive element was subdued. Mr. and Mrs. Davis, who lodged on the second floor, had a most miraculous escape ; when the first alarm do was given rs, they but wereendea voured to make their way wn stai obliged to turn back in consequence of the dense body of smoke. Mrs. Davis subse q uentl y j um p ed out of the window, and was very much hurt, and Mr. Davis, after hanging on the window-sill for some minutes, was rescued by police-constable Hollamby, who ran up the fire-ladder to his rescue. Mr. and Mrs. Davis are both lying in Middlesex Hospital in a most dangerous state, from the frightful injuries they received.
