Copeland and John Copeland, who have been residing in •
house originally the property of their mother, deceased, to
which them was • flour mill attached. Their right of (sects
minion, it seemed, was objected to by another brother,
named A. Copeland, who had taken every step to
oneobtainrs sea
•
gatiafactory adjustment of the property ; but the pris
fusing, and piecing every obstacle to prevent their ejectment,
it was determined to adopt physical form. Accordingly, the
brother, Arthur Copeland, malted by a party, proceeded'
and, after some difficulty, succeeded in obtaining an entrance
through one of the lower windows of the dwelling. The
moment, however, they attempted to proceed furhe, they
were startled by the report of tire.arins,
pelend and the
andur ba"l ,paled ss
in through the door, poised Arthur Co,
itself in the flooring of the room, fortunately without doirg
any harm. Apprehensive of further attack, the party im-
mediately retired, hut they bad no sooner dons so than
burn the
mill adjoining was discovered to be in flames, and was t
to the ground. The magistrates, in consequence of int
or erims-
the
elan they received, from the police, issued a warrant f
*Prehension of the prisoners. They were taken and since
their incarceration, John Copeland contemed settinc fire to
the mill, and says; his brother William had no hand in the
transaction.

TOUR BOYS BURIED ALIVIS.—ThoIe of our readers
to'whorn the locality of Brighton is familiar, are aware that
eastward of Kemp-town the coast consists for many miles
olbigh clink, the most elevated being the famous promo'•
tory of Beackylead. Along the whole line

e;radually eicroaching every high tide, washing
tion of the lower stiff, while the action of frosts and surface
so
wet is continually disiateirrating the upper portion, and
repatriate for a fall. The destruction of the cliff near
Brighton is further expedited by being undermined
by boys collectiog bird-sand, and men diggiug out
cones. Oa Friday afternoon, about six o'clock,
the
fuur
bays were seen under the cliff, exactly opposite
inn called the Abermvenny Arms. Presently after-
wards a mass of the cliff was observed to fall to the beach,
and the boys beiug no longer visible, it was conjectured that
they were buried beneath it. The quantity of each was
calculated to be about 200 tons. As speedily as possible the
coast guard of the N ick Rock station, under Lieut.
Franklyn, and a number of men employed in the Black
Hoek Gas Works, under Mr. Rutter, the managor, act t•
work in search of the bo lies. This was done at great peril
to themselves, the spot where the earth had to be dug away
being under a hanging mass of the cliff. After working an
hear the pow boys were found all together, and quite dead.
Owing to the great weight of the rock, death must have
Men instantaneous. A report of the catastrophe soon spread
over the town, and in a short time the bodies were identified
by their parents. One of the deceased, seven years of eVs
was the eon of a butcher named Peaceable, in the employ ell
Mr. Sense ; the other three were brothers. of the respective
agesof 16, 12, and 10 years, sons 'of William Guildford, •
labourer, who is selpinyed during the theatrical season as a
seene-plifter. The road from Brighton to Ituttingdean is
vary dangerous. Na less than four roads have been washed
away withie memory. An inquest was held on the lobes,
and evidence given of the tam above stated.--A juror I
remarked that many falls of the cliff had taken
phics along this place during the last few days.—
Mr. Rutter, manager of the gas-works et Black Rock, believed
that the principal cause of these falls was the i icki.ig out
the stories and boulders at the bottom of the cliff. The
accumulation of shingle is greater now than it has been for
years, is that the sea is harmless. It has Tint touched the
base of th cl:fl for w
in ears.—Litutennt Fraoklyn

away.—Mr. Rutter I have found men twelve feet under
the raad.—William Hide, constable of Rottingdean, the
parida in which the accident happined, said he had been
employed to watch the cliffs ; and his opinion was that the
chief came of the fall was their being undermined by pick
' men for the purpose of obtaining the boulders which were
at the bottom of the cliff—The jury returned a verdict of
Accidental death," accompanied by a recJrumendatt..n to
tie proper authorities to take steps to prevent the recurrence
of these accidents. They also recommended that a fence
should be placed along the edge of the cliff at the top.
The jury also exprewed their sincere thanks to Lieut.
Franklyn sui Mr. Rutter, of the coast-guard, and gas men,
for assisting, at the risk of their own lives, in extricating the
bodies of the deceased from the mass of the cliff which
covered them—The den er alluded to will be understood
when we state that the fall was only of the lower part of the
Jiff, and that the digging took place beneath a cliff six feet
high, projecting ten feet iW werbead.

Tau NEW PANORAMA OF PARIS BY NIOONLIGTIT.
—Tbe Colosseum opens to-day with an entirely new grand
panorama of Paris by moonlight, as seen from a balloon SUS.
pended over the gardens of the 'Tuileries. All that art can
accomplish in prialucing a vast city within a cimparWilliamatively
small stone biddies; has been produced by Mr.
Bradwell and h s coadjutor, Mr. Dawson. Space. atmo-
rehere, and detail, are all well blended. A person in the
Regent's-Park has only to express a wish to re Paris and
five minutes will place him in the very centre of the capital,
without the necessity of wishing for the mysterious tap airy
described in the "Arabian Nights." Some of the details—
the lighted shops, the fountains, the banks of the river, the
river its:lt—are miracles of jog, nuity. There can be no
doubt of the siccess of the exhibition, and that it will enjoy
as long a run of popular favour as its famous predecessor
London by Night. '
