FATE OF A BURGLAR,—Between two and three o'clock on
Friday morning last, the house of Captain Smith, at Goole,
was in the absence of the family, broken into by a burglar.
Two of Mr. Smith's neighbours, however, detected the
robber at his felonious work, and endeavoured to secure
him, but he ran away, pursued by the two men, and, seeing
no means of escape, he jumped into the river Don. It was
evident he could not swim, and before the two men could
rescue him he sank and was drowned.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT,—A railway porter, named Walter,
belonging to the fling Station, on the Dorchester Railway,
was killed last Friday. He had coupled some carriages
together, and the buffers of the two between which he stood
were so wide apart that he could pass in an upright position
between them, instead of being obliged to stoop under them
to get from among the carriages to the platform, just as be
was passing between the buffers, they came together
from some movement of the engine, and the poor fellow was
crushed to death instantly.
STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES.—A retnrn moved for by

Mr. A. Bigge, who enjoys a salary of £BOO, and who tried
last year 730 cases ; at Hull, Mr. T. H. Travis, salary £BOO,

the House, although the names of all the magistrates in
England and Wales were ordered.

FIGHTING IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Richard Irving,
of Port Carlisle, and Thomas Lawson, of Glasson, were
brought before the sitting magistrates, at the Court-houses,
Carlisle, on Saturday last, charged with fighting in one of
the carriages of the Port Carlisle Dock and Railway Com-
pany while travelling. Irving had expressed his deep
regret for what had occurred, and offered to pay all expenses:
Witnesses were then called to prove the charge against
Lawson. From their evidence, it appeared that soon after
the train left Carlisle, Irving, who was sitting iu the same
compartment as Lawson, began to use very abusive lan-
guage, and, as this failed to irritate Lawson, he took his
right fist and deliberately hit him a blow in the face.
Lawson retaliated, and a regular "set-to" was the result.
The females in the carriage screamed terriffically ; and the
belligerents fought for at least ten minutes, at the end of
which Irving, being worsted, gave up the contest. Lawson,
who seemed to have been taken by surprise, fought with
his gloves on. Some ill-feeling had existed between them
previously, Mr. Hodgson, chairman of the bench, said
this was really a very disgraceful affair, particularly as
regarded Irving, who had been the aggressor. Hoping,
however, that what had already been done would have the
effect of preventing a similar occurrence, the bench would
fine Irving in the sum of 10s and costs, only, and Lawson Sc.
The fine and costs amounted to £2 Is.
A BANX MANAGER CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT.—
On Saturday morning Mr. Theodore Evans, late manager of
the Twekesbury branch of the Gloucestershire Bank,
appeared before the magistrates, on remand, to answer
charges of embezzlement of sums amounting to £3,250.
The accused had been manager of the Tewkesbury Branch
Bank for the last seven years, and was removed on the 2nd
of April last, when he was succeeded by Mr. Appleby, the
present manager. When Mr. Appleby came to look over
the assets at Midsummer, he discovered a deficiency of
£3,250, and applied to the late manager for an explanation,
when Mr. Evans stated that he had lent Mr. Humphrey
Brown, M.P., 41,000, and offered Mr. Appleby two checks
for 4500 each, dated April 2, 1856, in payment for that
amount, asking to have them charged to him as on June
30th last. He also said there was no entry of the matter
in the books, and that he had also lent £5OO to I+ r. Allen,
£260 to Mr. Isaac Nind, which money-he o to pay
Mr. Appleby. This made a total of £1,750 accounted for ;
but as to the remaining £1,500 Mr. Evans refused to give
any explanation. Mr. Hartland, managing director, proved
that he went through the balances with Evans, and that
they appeared to him to be correct. The accused had no
authority to lend money to parties without entering it on
the bank books. He had never represented to him that
li,ooo had been lent to Mr, H. Brown, M.P. As the
prisoner wished to have the advice of counsel the case was
adjourned, and the bail enlarged.
EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE OF Two CHILDREN.—On
Thursday evening two juveniles, footsore and weary, entered
the yard of the Greyhound Hotel, Bath, and enquired if
they could be accommodated with logdings for the night.
Their respectable dress and superior manners, as well as the
unusual nature of their application, excited the surprise and
curiosity of Mr. Clarke, the landlord, who took his would-be-
guests into the hotel, and proceeded to interrogate them.
Though exceedingly polite in their replies, they declined
affording any information, except that they were going to
sea, and Mr. Clarke's suspicions were further excited by
the light shoes which one of them wore and the shortness
of the trousers ; and he ultimately Fat himself in communi-
cation with the police. The children were then separated,
and one of them conveyed to the central station and lodged
for the night, the other remaining at the Greyhound.
Their secret was preserved until Friday morning, when
a livery servant rode a reeking horse into the Grey-
hound yard, and soon afterwards made known that
he was in pursuit of a pair of juvenile fugitives. The
whole story was then developed. The children were brother
and sister, the latter 14, and the former scarcely 13, the
off spring of
parents in good society ; and on Thursday
they had decamped from their home at Road, near Frame.
The boy had determined to go to sea, and had entrusted his
secret to his sister, whose ardent affection determined her
to accompany him at all hazards. She accordingly dressed
herself in some of his clothes, allowed him to cut her
which was then parted at the side. and 41,-
anigpa 11— _ _ attired and dis-

seZ ou ror Bristol as the nearest seaport. As
von as they were missed, every effort was, of course, made
to discover them, and the servant, who so fortunately met
with them, bad ridden down three horses in the pursuit.
They were on Friday conveyed back to their parents.--
