ESTRapIDINSIT CASs.—A Singular eseurrenee
took plane yesterday on the Easters Counties Railway. Two
gentlemen were trey: lling is a second cats carriage, when,
et use of the intermediate stations between Colchester and
Lentos), a well-dressed lady about 28, with an infant, sp-
weedy about two months old, stepped in. Site stated sae
had bled travelling in a int class carriage, bat beiag taken
ill she did not like remaining alone. One of the gentlemen
peanut to be Mr. —, a 'urine, from the neighbourhood
of Bury St. Edmunds, who, in'intating his profession, in-
quired the nature of the lady's illness, she replied by attri-
buting it chiefly to the "fatigue of travelling and weak-
ness, which was borne out by the delicate and palid
Mate of the countenance. 01 co- ne, every attar:ion
was paid to the invalid and her coed by the travellen—
who little inspected the strataon their lair and interest-
kw, but deceptive companion was about to play upon them—
the lady several times expressing a fear that she might let
fill the baby, which had need named by bath the gentlemen,
sad eke lea up.a the seat. Ups tterivaat at the terminus
eke begged to have the child taken out, which was done by
Mr. -- while she went off dm platform in vest of a fer-
vent; ski expected to meet her with a eerie/Ere. Darla(
this time the other gentleman.— el Liverpool, was anglified
with hie luggage ; the lady was nn more to he seen, and pare
salt proven 4181101111. The consternation tt the gentleman at
beim, thus bwrdeued easy easily he imagined. Ultimately
the child was takes I. a friend's, whose lei • discovered
about i's little person • letter, containing two 101. Bank of
England note, tequetirg that the child-might receive every
are, and expressing as asearaime that it mead if the pas-
senor el it could know the anguish and circumstance of its
marker; and that if • eter.ain advertisement were published,
with the address of those who had charge of it, all would
altiatately be made right. Tie child was expensively
dressed.

ALARMING AIL'TINT BY TIIt PIIIIIIONIOI9 IN AP-
PLEeT JAIL.—Jobe Juane., John Harr, and John Wall,
under sentence of transportatho, and Joon Wilmot end
Richard Mergsn, under sentence of, imprisonment, Ave most
desperate and ruffianly character/. were confined in the same
ward of Appleby jail. Taey had been punished more than
oche for insubordination, and oa Wednesday, after they had
takes their dinner in toe day-room, they commenced throw.
ing and kicking about the tin basins in which their soup had
been supplied, and otherwise maitesting a riotous intention.
Mr. Thwaitets, the governor, rentoostrated with them, ant
threatened solitary cesthaement. Wil-on set him at defi-
ance, and threw one of the tin basins at the iron bars which
separated the governor from them. Mr. Thwaiteo thereupon
insisted on his coming oat to be locked tap. This he porta-
caciously refused to do, and the other. (exceping Morgan,
who took no pert in the revolt) used the most ebonite and
threatening language to the office», especially the governor,
whom they swore they would kill if he Lame near them.
While Mr. Thwaites left tte gaol to obtain additional aid,
four of the mutineers armed themselves with the fire shovel,
three heavy broom-sticks, the handle of a Land corn-mill,
and three heavy nut screws and some iron washers which
they screwed off the mill. On the return of the governor
with Mr. Bird, the superintendent of police, and other
assistants, they threatened to murder the first that entered.
The narrowness of the door into the ward will only admit of
one person passing through at a time, and the floor of the
ward being • litde higher than the rof the passage
where the constables stood, and the approach to
which is by two steps, the prisoners possessed considerable
advantages, sad great difficulty was experienced in effecting
an entrance. Mr. W. Rains first made an attempt,
armed with a constable's staff, bat was repelled ; and having
retreated a short distance, Wadi threw at him one of the
nutecrews, weighing a pound, which struck him on the left
ear, inflicting a serious wound on the head. This was followed
up by the other nutscrew and the washers, one of which
struck the turnkey on the beck of his band. Additional assist-
ance was now procured; the door was forced open, and •
terrific conflict took place. The prisoners fought despe-
rately, and with an evident intent of fulfillicg their previous
throne; but being outnumbered, they were soon sublucd.
The constables had to apply their staffs to the best advan-
tage they could, both offensively and defensively; and the
resistance they met with aroused their ire to such a degree,
that the prisoners had to call out to the gaoler (whose life
they had just before threateutd), to protect them from the
unneemary blows that were being inflicted. Mr. Heelia,
the under-sheriff, reacoed the gaol ma after the mutiny was
quelled, and gave directions for the insurgent. to be put in
heavy irons, as the only effectual mesas of prevent-
kg another revolt. Indeed it would be north to
give them even the liberty of the yard consi-
dering their malicious intent ions toward, the offi-
cers, particularly towards Mr. Dimino, whom Jackson
swears he'll murder before he haves the prison, if en oppor-
tunity offers.

DESTIVCTIVE FIRE AT CILABOOW.—on the night
of the lOta instant, shortly alter nine o'clock,. fire broke out
in the premises of Messrs. J. Sultana& and Co., ouch-
builders, 8t Bisoch-square, which terminated in the almost
total destruction of the property and valuable stock in.ide.
The flamer were first observed by an individual la at Bench-
lane, into which the back part of the promises projects, and
in which Quarter of he building, it is atejectured, the fire
first originated. The alarm was immediately OM, and
wish aslittle loss of time u possible the West of England,
followed by tae North of Boaland engine and the police
brigade, were on the ground. Before their arrival, however,
sash was the rapidi y of the oftelegratiou, Owing, no doubt, to
the t xtreurely umbustible nature of the materials on which
toe fire fastened, that the whole upper fiat of the build.
lag was in a mare sad before long the roof fell in
with a crash, adding immensely to the volume of flame
which rushed out with great fury. Despite of the arducus
exertions of Mr. Turner and his efficient allies, the fire spread
from flat to fist with fearful rapidity; and in the course of
half an hour after it was first discovered the whole work,
with the exception of a show-room in frost, was enveloped
in one common ruin—mamas of fire spouting out of
eve window, and shooting up to an arnseng
height above the building. As it was soon sp.
pandit that there was no chum Cl saving the coach-work,
the east. of the ire-brigade were peacipally directed to
eau the adMiniag properties, sad the superintendent haring
as *filmiest heft Ono fewer than nine well manned eaglets
stationed lx beat and rear, the destruetiu has been
entirely isonfiami to the coach work and its eontenta. The
hall of the Faulty of Pnysisiaas cad Augurs was in con-
eirirmariejempeedy, there heir's mielsiag balms it and the
mach work bat the gable wall ; but, from the judicious
arrengseasat of Me fire brigade, this dangerous point was
eMeetaaii, getared,. sod the fire p led from spreading.
TM total is estimated at about B,OOOL, 6,0001. of whisk
is on aeseant of the stock, and the remainder on the build-
lag. We understand that both parties are covered by
