Joetenal draws attention to the circumstance of the villages
en the La!worth mate being periodically visite 1 by fever.
He says—" I will mks first West Lulworth, a Lag, narrow
village, consisting of tumbling down, ill-ventilated cottages;
and owing to the dilapidated cottages not being rebuilt,
the canon are crowded together; consequently, the
concentrated human malaria gives rise to fevers.

inducement to healthy recreation, as well as to improve their

GLOUCESTER:3III.Ra.
A mrarrumus Case or ARSON occurred at Bristol on
Tuesday night, and the magistr des of that city were tu-
gged during the whole of Wednesday in hearing a charge
of that crime preferred against a highly respectable
young lady named Sarah Outelidge. It would seem, that
about a week since a gentleman, named Meredith, with hilt
wife and child, his mother, and his wife's sister—the accused
—came to Bristol from the North, and took up their abode
at a lodging-house, kept by Mr, Lumley, in Cuniberland-
street, Brunswiek-sguare. On Tuesday night Mr. and llse.
Meredith went out, leaving Miss Outcridge at home with
their infant child. Soon alter seven o'clock an alarm of file
was given from the street, and it was discovered that a bed-
room In the front of the house was on fire. The bed fan&
tare, the curtain•, and bedding were found in flame ;
but, by the exertions of the neighbours, the fire was
put out, and everything left safe. In three-quarters of an
hour, however, a second bed-room (detached from the first)
was found on fire in the same way, and scarcely had the
flames been extinguished when it was found that the bed fur-
niture of a third had been fired. The flames were sub-
dued, and the house carefully examined, but nothing further
was found till shout half-an-hour afterwards, when a draw-
lug-room on the first floor was discovered to be on fire.
With some difficulty the conflagration was got under, sad
it was hoped all was over, when, lo ! the front parlour
was found on fire, having evidently been ignited in the
same way as the others. The suspicions of the police fell
on the accused, who was taken into custody, and carried to
the station-house. Several witnesses were heard, but the
fads bearing against her were slight, such as her having
been seen in one or two of the rooms. No motive was shown
why she should have committed such a crime, nor had she
been seen with any candle, with which, in one instance at
least, it was evident that the curtain* had been fired. It was
also proved that the family used precaution against fire,
and that, upon the 'muted being told that she was last up
stairs, and must have set fire to the bed-room, she said, " I
suppose I must; but my brother will pay all damage." She
was remanded till :'aturday (this day).
