DESTRUCTION OF FARM-PROPERTY BY FIRE.—
On Wednesday night, the 17th inst., a destructive fire broke
out on a form belonging to the Duke of Bedford, at Tops-
ham, about a mile from the pariah of Thorny, Isle of Ely
in its occupation of Mrs. Bealby, supposed to be the work
of incendiaries. About a quarter of an hour before the fire
was discovered, some hay had been cut from the stack which
was first discovered to be on fire ; it quickly spread to the
adjoining ones, and twenty-three large stacks of wheat,
barley, and oats, and two large ricks of hay were totally
consumed ; two stacks of beans only were preserved. finch
was the violence of the conflagration in consequence of •
strong wind, that the air was illuminated to a distance of 16

from the same place. At length they left, having purchased
nothing. After putting away his goods, the silversmith was
ab iut to resume his work at the bench, when he perceived
that four of his customers' watches, one of gold and three of
silver, bad disappeared, which had been hanging in a ems
at some distance from the counter, in a part of the shop
which his late visitors had not been in. It seemed impas-
sible they could have taken them, yet he found it impossible
to divest his mind of a suspicion that they were in
some way connected with the robbery. At length
he sallied forth to inform his brother craftsmen of hi
lop, and to inquire if his watches had been heard of. On
calling at Mr. Greenwood's, Rochester, he found that his
two suspicions visitors bed been there on a similar errand.
They were waited on by Mrs. Greenwoed, but Mr. Green-
wood, who had been in a room behind the shop, seeing two
prisons come in, and thinking his wife might require his
assistance, 'opened to her aid, and, on comma behind the
counter, nearly tumbled OM a young urchin who was
crawling aloe' the floor towards the place where the "job
watches " were hung. Raving no reason to suspect any
previous robbery, he merely kicked the young dog out, with
whom the "gentleman" took care not to claim any acquain-
tance. This, no doubt, was the secret of the first robberyi
the boy having been trained to creep round the coaster end
clutch the watches, while the attention of the shopkeeper
was cunningly attracted to the window. Maidstone
