tion, tending to dissipate gloomy apprehensions of the
coming summer. It is generally thought that a mild winter
is the forerunner of a bad summer. It is so often, because
vegetation is too far advanced early in the spring, which
render it subject to checks, such es blights, &c., from cold
and even frosty nights in hush and April. This winter,
though a mild one, is net likely to be the omen of such a
disaster, because we have had an unusual non imams of
cold and seasonable weather even to a late period of the pest
month. Vegetation is not so extraordinarily advanced as to
induce us to apprehend any severe checks, the conieqmonem
of which will be felt in the in-gathering of the fruits of the
earth.' 8o far in the year there is no ground for any other
feeling than that which is suggested by hope."

PROVINCIAL

TOIMBRILE.

A CLERICAL Guts Paznaveg.—Three poachers,
named Ron. Throes-I, • railway sub-contractor, and J. Pad-
ley and Robert Johnee, two railway labourers, were appro.
hended on Sunday last, under the following circumstances :
—About one o'clock on Sunday morning, John Eastwood,
gamekeeper to the Rev. R. C. Wilmot, of Nesarick-hall,
having heard the report of • gun, he proceeded to a neigh-
bouring funs house and procured the moistens* of three men.
In the meantime a continual fire was kept up iti the woods
mar the hall. Eastwood and his meant, proceeded to the
cover, and placed themselves in ambush, modem heard more
reports, and the voices of several persons approaching them.
On their coming near where the keeper stood, he heard one
of the poachers say, " How many haw: we got 1" and was
answered, " What does it signify ? we hays got an odd bird.
and we'll have another." The keeper then nude hie appear-
ance, and said be wield see whether they had another bird
or two, and called to his men " Come on my lads." The
three poachers then presented their guns at him, and
Throssel said, " If you come one foot towards u. I'll blow
your brains out," and the other two made the same threat.
The keeper said surely they would not kill • man for
the sake of • pheasant, The poachers then retreated,
and were joined by a fourth man with a black dog.
Eastwood was within three yards of the Prisoners when
they presented their puns; it was moonlight, and he has
sot the slightest doubt that the prisoners are the men. He
proceeded to give iniormation to Gibson and Hsieh, the po-
licemen. The poisoner Pulley had lodged in Driffield for
Wlast 16 months. Tkroasel called on Padley about 11
o'clock on Saturday night, and they both went out together.
Haigh and Gibson apprehended Padley in bed at his lodg-
ings about 8 o'clock on Sunday imorning. His boots and
trotters were dirty and wet- Eleven pheasants were found
oonesekd under his bed In a velvet jacket belonging to
the prisoner were found some pheasant feathers, and in the
home were two guns, one of them en air gun, powder flask,
and empty diet bags. Throesel was shortly after appre-
hended in bed at his own house in Driflisld. In the house,
were found a pair of wet leggings and boots, with several
pheasant feathers sticking to them. In his waistcoat pocket
were several bullets, and in a closet was a black dog, wet and
dirty about the legs and bedy. Eighty soarer, 62 set sticks.
and a large rabbit net were also found in the house. Johnson
was apprehended at his hones is Nafferton. On the top of
the stain was found a gout, and in the prisoner's pocket,
which was stained with blood, was a snare and several per-
minion caps. On Monday morning the prisoners were
brought before the magistrates in Driffield, and committed
to Yq:k Castle for trial. Each of the prisonen deripl the
I offence.

THE Lawrs MtliDElL—Hannah Sandie., con-
demned to death at the recent amino for murdering her
ebild at Chailey, has been respited during her ldsjestre
pleasure. The respite is dated on Thunday last. Petitions
prating that her life may be spared, which had been pre-
viously in course of signature, have since been sent to the
tioewooke.

biCENDIAItIeM.—The Hereford Tunes sari "It is
painful to witness the prevalence of this demoniacal spirit at
Medley, in this county, and the perpetratim of an act of et-
, miler nature in the very suburbs of our city. On Thursday
night a third incendiary fire, within a fsw days, took pima
at Medley. About 11 o'clock on that night Mr. John Wa-
then, of the Townthouse, discovered fia ni his bedroom that
his farm buildings were in flames. Without staying to put on
his clothes he ran down stairs, and succeeded, at imminent
risk to himself, in releasing six cattle and twenty-seven
sheep ; but seven sheep and six lambs were burned to death.
A son of the Dean of Hereford rode to this city to give in-
formation of the occurrence, and Mr. Adams. with the police
and engines, was quickly oa the spot ; but for some time a
difficulty was experienced in obtaitunrinter. The neighboun
however, exerted themselves very much in procuring thii
necessary supply, and the program of the destructive ele-
ment was checked, The adjoining stacks and buildinge,
being well wetted, were fortunately saved; but besides the
cattle and sheep above mentioned, two waggons loaded
with straw, • small quantity of grain, two beast-houses,
three calmcots,
s' a and sheep cot were destroyed.
The buildings were insured, as also Mr. Wathen's stock.
There is no doubt that the conflagration was caused by an
incendiary, probably the same as perpetrated the two similar
crimes last week. Nothing has transpired to bring the
guilt horn* to any individual. On Monday afternoon last
the minds of the inhabitants of this city were disturbed by
information that a fire had broken out in the farm-buildings
of Mr. Preece, of Newton, one mile and a half from Here-
ford, on the Abergavenny road. The engines were all
speedily in requisition, and, accompanied with greet
numbers of respectable citizen', were very soon
at the place. The flames had then rigged for a short time,
and the dense smoke was distinctly visible from Hereford.
Two adjoining barns were in a state of conflagration, but the
doors having been judiciously closed, the current of air was
thereby checked, and a source of encouragement to the
fames cut off. The fire was got under in about an hour,
but the destruction of property was extensive. About 200
bushels of wheat in the straw and a thrashing-machine were
destroyed. A number el fowls were burned alive, and here
a singular scene presented itself. Some of the humbler
classes of spectating seized the poultry which, alive a mo-
, ment before, had been roasted in so singular a manner, and
eagerly devoured them, five or six attacking one fowl, and
sharing its limbs. This fire is also supposed to have been cso.
maimed by an incendiary. It appears that, entering the
machine-house, he lighted some combustible article, end
thrust it through one of the air-holes into the barn, thus in-
stantaneously causing a conflagration. The match was found
on the floor of the machine-house. A labourer named John

Mutlow, who had been discharged tom the service of Mr.
Preeos about three weeks ago, and who had been heard to
threaten to do him some injury, was taken into custody, and
cm Timidity Urea before the city magistrates, when a nun
named England gale evidence of the fact. Mutlow, how-
ever, strongly denied the testimony of Ragland, who, he
said, was actuated by a malicious motive ; and called a loan
named Skyrme, his mother, and Mr. W. Cooks, of Pate=
who satisfactorily proved that he was at home (at Petsoill
when the Are was discovered, and that being unwell he
not that day °variously left the house. Mr. Preece ex-
pressed his belief that Mallow was not the person who tired
the premises, and the magistrates directed him to be elle-
charged, cautioning him (whether the statement of England
was true or false) not to lay himself open to suspicion by
the utterance of threat. against person or property even
though spoken in idle jest. Mr. 4ite said that some of
the pollee INTO in search of a MS wbe was believed to be
the actual incendiary, but had set enseeeded in apprehend-
ing him.
