ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, Av.

Somiof the late most fashionable routs have been marked by fa-
rTliouable purloiuings, which would subject the ordinary classes of the
people to criminal convictions. The pitiful offence we allude to, is the
taking away new and valuable shawls, and leaving old flimsy ones in
their stel:4l. At the Countess of C.'s late crowded assemblage, no less
than forty-seven shawls were thus purloined, amongst which were
three new Indian ones, worth fifty guineas each, for which the pro
prietresses obtained only thread-bare things, not worth half so many
shillings.
Another attempt has been made to destroy Sydney College, Cam—
bridge, by some incendiary, who obtained admission into an u?per
room, by forcing a padlock with which the door was secured. l'he
Are was discovered 'about two o'clock on Sunday morning last, and
fortunately extinguished, though not till damage to the amount of
5001. was sustained. A loft, containing a great quantity of tar and
pitch, was within a few yards of the part where the fire was disco-
vered; a great part of the town would have been involved in ruins, had
the flames communicated to it. A rigid examination is to t.:ke place
of every person within the College, beginning with the superiors, that
none may be offended at being personally interrogated.
A Are broke out about ten o'clock Tuesday night, in a small tene-
ment adjoining the Swan public-house; in Swan-yard, opposite Somer-
set House, which In short time demolished the Swan, and greaty
damaged several other houses:
The house of Patrick Keefe, farmer, residing near B.illypatrich,
Ireland, was maliciously set on fire on the night of Tuesday se'nnight ;
and the lames bath made such progress before they were discovered, •r
the family alarmed, that out of a family of nine persons, either in
youth or middle life, but one was left to relate this horrid story. Keefe
was removed to the House of Industry, dreadfully burned. The Coro
ner's Inquest found—That eight persons came by their death by the
house in which they were being maliciously set on fire by some person
or persons unknown. The High Sheriff, on going to the limeia of
Industry, found Keefe covered with ulcers, unattended; and no threat,
nor intreaty, nothing of reward or yunishment, was sufficiee t to pro.
cure from the surrounding savages, a car to convey Keefe to Dublin.
