' 'The Magistrate (Mr. Hicks) told this man, that, from
evidence already given, there was reason to believe that he MILS a
receiver of stolen goods, and if proof amid be untamed, he should
assuredly be committed to Neagate. Smith denied the imputa-
tion, and said he ass not aware that his booth was resorted as ny

fur liquor, and the rennuader or the property belonged to Min
and his female servant. .'has of the prisoners having been ap•
prebendal in or near Smith's booth, and those who were pursued
having, it was said, taken refuge there, Mr. Hicks tits:tared, with
much warmth, tom he was determined to Whit at the rout ea

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—On' Sunday la:t
great number of persons were bathing in the Ncw
River, at the back of Nowington. Thomas I ;a—
coyn, a boy, whose parents reside in Type-coort,
Type street, got out of his depth. and disappeared
fur a length of time, and a number of persons LI
the water went to his assistance without effect. At
last a boy, only 13 years of age, with the most un-
daunted courage, dived after him several times, and
at last succeeded in bringing him above the surface
of the water, and carried him OIT shore. The spark
of life appeared to have•fled, and no surgical ai3
could be obtained. Several gentlemen who were •
on the banks of the River, tried every thing is their
power to restore animation, and nt. the expiration of
three quarters of an hour tho little seirerer opened.;
his eyes, which encouraged the gentlemen to renew •
their efforts, and beThre medical assistance, ::rrivcd,
the of of their care was perfectly restored to••
life. We are sorry to say, that one of the genCe-
men who was most forward in this act et' humanity
had a valuable snutrtox stolen from him klureg

—Mr Lyman Sperry, of Malone, Franklin, having
been absent from his house on Friday attianoon last,
returned home in the evening, and found his wife
and four children in a must deplorable cotutition..-
sonie at' them just able to be. about the latmost-while
others were ling on .die bed, &c. in a sonatisous,
sickly, and wretched state. He endeavoured -as
arouse them, hoping to administer relief; but in a
short time one child expired iu his arm. Shortly
after his wife died, and in a little while another
child breathed its last -410 procured medical aid
as soap 4as posailile, and by
,their active etsertions the
other two children were saaad frpot immediate death,
though it remains doubtful whether they will re-
cover. The oldest child that died was about live
yeacs_gf age. Those who survived were from seven
to ten From what the susyiving children say, it is
supposed that Mrs. Sperry, whohas been for two or
three years, by turns, a little deranged, gathered
Owls, or. as some cell it, wood chuck-root, steeped
it in warm water, and fed her children, and drank
plentifully of it herself, with a view of saving them
sod herself (in the embraces of death) from penury

coming upon them, although it is understood that
