DARLNG BURGLARY IN
SMILE.

A brutal attack way made on Friday last at the
residence of a very respectable couple, Mr. F'airley and his
wile, nausea of Scotland. Mr. Fairley has been a farming
bailiff in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire for many
years, and has truly had the ni augment of large farms,
the property of It. 11. Hussey, and lives at the Hol-
born Farm. situate about a mile from Upwood, and about
the same distance from Wiston and Great Rawly. About
eleven o'clock on the night of Friday, the 23th inst.,
Mr. Fairley heard footages near his house ; he im-
mediately wised his lire-arms (a horse pistol and a
revolver), and told the rubbers, whom he saw theosigh
his bedroom window, that he would shoot them
if they attempted to enter. The robbers immediately
smashed the shutters and glass of the parlour window, and
also the bark door. Mr. Fairley stationed himself at his
bedroom door, at the top of the stairs, and waited the ap-
proach of tne robbers, who had now got lights, and seemed
very cautious. Mr. Fairley aimed at one with his hone-
pistol, which unfortunately missed fire. Ile then took his
revolver, wh . he gut sight of any of the robbers,
fired at them, and they in return fired at him. Mr.
Fairley fought the ribber, for upwards of an hour,his wife
eneouragior him by tellinr him repeatedly to " take steady
aim;" the rubbers being foiled in their at empt to get up
stain, procured a quantity of straw and articles 01 ferni-
tem which they laid in the
tutting
at the bottom of the
stairs, to which the y set fire, s Hattie; the side doors su as to
forte the smoke up the stairs. Mrs. Fairley now opened the
windows of the bed-room to allow the smoke to escape, and
when doing so received a violent blow on the heed from a
stage. When nearly suffeicatul, Mr. and Mrs. Fair-
ley surrendered. There were five rubbers in the house,
anal other, were heard outside; they were all masked, and
were stoned with four guns anal three horse-pistols. After
Mr. and Mrs. Fairley surrendered they received several
violent blows. The robbers ransacked the house, broke
open drawers and boxes, scattered about linen and wearing
apparel, and destroyed furniture, glass, earthenware, eat-
aidee, and drinkablee. 'navy afterwards regaled them-
selves with bread and meat and cheese. Mr. Fairley
told them where to find a bottle of good Scotch
whiskey, and invited them to partake freely of other
spirits; they left about three o'clock in the morning,
when Mr. I. airley gave the alarm at Upwoud, and farmers
and others were soon scouring the country in all directions.
Near daylight two of the farm labourers discovered two of
the robbers asleep in a ditch about half a mile from the
house, with three guns by their side and some of Mr.
Fairley's wearing apparel upon them. They were drunk,
and smelt strongly of whiskey. They were taken off to St.
lees lock-uphouse for examination this day.
It is hurt that the whole of the robbers will soon be in
custody. floe missing article, are two watches, silver plate,
consisting of table, &sett, and tea-spoons, &c., marked
T. F., and nearly If. in cash. The windows and doors of
the house are at complete wrack, and the plaster on the
walls riddled with shot and bullets.

SIXTH DRAGOON GUARDS (CARABINEER.S—We
have reason to believe (says the Sara! and Jlilitary
Gazette) some arrangements hate been decided on, altering
the Gth Dragoon Guards from heavy to light cavalry; indi-
cating, we presume, an intention of employing this regi-
ment on foreign service. (This is the Me, and we have
since ascertained that orders have been actually sent to this
regiment to prepare for foreign duty; its destination is,
however, nut specitied, although it is now believed the 6th
Dragoon Guards will proceed to India, and ultimately
effect the relief of the 3rd Light Dragoons, the first Queen's
cavalry regiment on the list to return home.—En. Brows.]

PRISONS ix BccrrLsun.—An net was passed in
the late session to amend certain acts for the improvement
of prisons and prison discipline in Scotland. The appoint-
ment of the Lord Justice and the Lord Justice clerk, on the
general board of directors of prisons in Scotland, is re-
pealed. Criminal offenders, not above Ii years, may be
privately whipped. It is provided that a sentence of im-
prisonment may be accompanied by hard labour, and rules
in respect thereof arc to be approved of by the Secretary of
State.
I.tr.cti.t.ocs ESCAPE ntom DEATn.—One of the
most remarkable escapes, that has ever come to our know-
ledge occurred on the evening of mr ed a cal& y, the loth
instant, on the South Yorkshire Railway, near Doncaster.
A young man name., Cartmell is engaged as a clerk on this
railway, and his office adjoins the Little Moor Outgang,
when the rids cross the line from the Balby-road to that of
Mexthorpe ; and, as the accident shows au extraordinary
instance of the pmwrvation of life, we cannot do better
than give his own version of it, and that of Samuel For-
tune, the gate-keeper at the Cherry-lane Junction. Mr.
Coalmen, in answer to our inquiry, said—" I was giving
instructions to the driver of the tout-engine, about hall-past
eight o'clock in the evening—it was the shunting engine.
I was beckoning it forward in the usual manlier by my
hand-lamp. The driver was shunting from No. 2 line
to No. 4 siding, which is neat to the main line.
I stepped into the main line again to signal him
on, so as to get him over the points of No.
2to No. G. Whilst I was so occupied Mr. Barnes,
another clerk, called out, • There's the Barnsley train
coining,' or something to that effect. I looked up and
down, but I saw no light and beard no engine, probably
arising from the coal engine being NO near me. As won as
Mr. Barnes had warned me, I ran in the direction where'
he was standing, and in the attempt I was struck by the
buffer of the tender on my left arm, and was, as I thought,
turned completely round. My right arm caught the draw
bar hook, which fastened itself between the shoulder and
the elbow. I was so stunned that I was momentarily un-
conscious of my dangerous position. I was aroused by ob-
serving the light of the junction signal. I then had_w-
recovered from my fright, and I shouted Hold
on.' But it was evident that the sound of the whistle

completely drowned my voice, as it was not heard either
by the driver or the guard. began to despair and ex-
pectedcur,. moment to be dashed to pieces. The sus-
pense I experienced, lunging is it were between life and
death for nearly Ulla mile, is more than I can describe "
Happily, however, far Mr. Cartmell, his voice was heard
by Samuel Fortune ; fur he remarkr—" I heard the mound
of a voice as the train was approaching ; and I knew from
the cries that some one hat got entangled with the
machinery. I instantly exhibited the red signal which was
to stop the train, holding it up as high as I could. The
driver, Forkinaton, seeing the red light, with remarkable
quickness reversed the engin" and brought the train to a
stand. I then advanced to the front, where the sound
seemed to have come from, exppsecetitiaegg to see a mangled
body; but, to my great e.tonLLmeet, I recognised Mr.
Cartmell in front entangled in the coupling chain. His
body appeared to be twisted together, and his head
was inclining near one of the wheels. With the
aminance of • helper we gut him unfastened from his
=l.lsposition, and at once conveyed him to the gate-
and, as soon as he was able to be removed,
he was taken to his lodgings at Miss Millner's,
near the Shakepere's Beni." Mr. Lister, surgeon,
was immediately sent for, and was soon in attendance,
administering all the surgical aid that the case required.
These plain tans of the widest sufficiently show that it is
one of the most marvellous and narrow napes that posably
could occur ; and had it not been foe the penance of mind
of the gate-keeper at Cherry-lane, it seems more than
Probable that it must have proved fatal. Indeed, his com-
panions, Mr. Green and Mr. Barnes, knowing his position
at the time, and Dania; his cap sad lamp at the very point
where he was struck, moved slow) along the line with their
lamps in search of him, oaticipat every moment to find
him dead. But to their great &Lig t, they Innis that Mr.
Cartmell had only received a seven shock, and that an in-
cud wound had been made in one of kis arms. The train
was going at the rote of from fifteen to sixteen miles an
hour —Doncaster Gana.
