PURSUIT OF A FUGITIVE.—Sorne mouths ago we
gave the particulars of the Bight of Mr. John Todd, dis-
tiller, of Newcastle upon-Tyne, leaving heavy liabilities
unsatisfied. At first it was suspected th.,t the fugitive had
escaped to Belgium or France, but it was subsequently
ascertained that he had taken a pwage for New York, and
thither he was pursued by Mr. Goddard, a London detec-
tive officer. Although a month in advance of his pursuer,
Mr. Goddard succeeded with some difficulty in getting upon
his track, and after a laborious pursuit found him settled
.in a remote district near Janesville, in the State of Wis-
consin, about two thousand miles from New York. Ile
had purchased Lind, and was believed to be in possession
of between 10,0001. and 20,0001. After communications
had been made with the creditors at Newcastle, it has been
deemed advisable to proceed against him by civil process
in the courts of Wisconsin to compel payment of his debts.

LONDON Snot:B.—The soot of the metropolitan
chimneys is injurious in various ways. It injures to a cur-
tain extent the health of ev,ry one. It tinges with its
duskiness the palace and the hovel: it mats and spoils the
works of great painters and sculptors: it disfigures the
works of our architects ; and it causes a large unnecessary
expenditure in washing. Even the London sparrows show
its effects; and then the softer sex, bow they suffer from
the effects of smoke. This should net be. In the olden
time, the other " dark ages," it was part of chivalry to pre-
vent the disc: nfort of women. We lords of the ereation in
this enlightened A.D. 18.53, have now at our fingers' ends
the means of putting an end to smoke, not only that smoke
said to have been introduced by Sir Walter Raleigh (an in-
troduction generally by the ladies abominated, and with good
reason), but also that of sea-coal, and yet we let them suffer.
We will refer to the Hyde-park sheep far the serious conse-
quences likely to arils- to the fair countenances of the ladies
themselves, things well worthy of attention. Moreover,
even amongst the ladies of the highest schooling, the atf ets
of London smoke cannot fail to be meat trying to the temver,
to say the least of it. Look lower, and we find the evil in•
creased to an immense extent. The wife of the careful and
persevering tradesman finds the clothes and goods of her
family blacked and disfigured with soot. There arc some
startling statistics on record touching the Wee,. of Louden
smoke; we have ourselves c attributed some calculations of
touching import to all who pay washing bills, and w hick
show that the damage done to clothes and furniture by our
smoke is immense—enough to astonish any one who has not
thought seriously on the subject, and also enough, con-
sidering how particularly this evil presses on the female
portion of the community, from the highest to the lowest,
to stir up amongst us the latent spirit of chivalry already
alluded to. Down with the smoke! That is, let us never
allow it is go up.—The Builder.
