A machine has been completed at New York, for
sweeping the streets of that town It performs the
work of -10 men, and not only 3weeps the streets,
but collects the dirt into heaps to be carried away.
Such a machine is much wanted in England.

On Monday night last two women, at Paris, one
a cook, the other a chamber-maid, committed sui-
cide, by shutting themselves in a room, and pro-
ducing suffocation .with brimstone. Several letters
were laid on the table, which led to the utotive for
the desperate act

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON AND INCENDIARIES.
--We stated recently the particulars of the stables
belonging to the Culls ge attached to the Hereford Cathe-
dral having been burnt, and also of the College having
been discovered to have been on fire, on Sunday morning,
the 2d instant, which was then said to have been ili•co-
vered and got miller by the great exertions of Mr. Haev,r,
the organist of the Cathedral. The circumstances cawed
great alarm and consternation .brunglinut the city. Seve-
ral investigations wok place without tending in any degree
to lead to the detection of the of enders; it was therefore
determined to send an express to Bow-street, and Laven-
der was despatched to Hereford. Lavender being of
pinion that Mr. Hayter't conduct was very extraordinary,
he was inlet rogated very fully as to where lie had been
the preceding evening, night, &e. he not hissing returned
to his chambers till between II and 12 o'clock ; lie satis-
factorily accounted for whet e he had been on that nigh t
and the canoe if his being out so late. On his arrival
near the College, about half past 11, lie observed two men
standing near the porch, leading towards the College; he
consideiedl them to be there under suspicions vircumstan-
eeS he was at some distance from them, but thinking he
knew one of the men he called to him by acme, butt lie
received no answer. lie then proceeded to hi, chambers,
armed Welsch with a dagger, and went out with sits inten-
tion of a-cei 'Anita.; who the men were, and what they
were delete Hear the porch, but they left the spot, and lie
111 W nothing more of theist. At this time he described to
have seen a woman with a candle and lantern near an iron
gate leading to the College ; she was heard to rattle tbe
latch of a door, as if she wished to pass it, but lie could
not tell whether to go in or out. These were considered
marvellous circumstances. He admitted that he did nut
alarm, or inform his brother of what lie had seen, although
Ile slept with him in his chambers. He admitted having
been near the part where fire broke out, early on the
Sunday morning, just before lie went to the Cathedral, to
attend his duty at the organ, and accounted for his going
there for his boots, the room where the boy cleaned them,
being nearly tinder where the fire broke out, and he put
his boots on there. He went to the Cathedral, and left as
soon as the necessary service of the organ %IN'S ever, it
being shorter than usual, on account of the Sacrament
being about to be administered. He was then rsturning
to his chambers, but owing to some gates being locked, lie
was obliged to pass through the chambers of Mr. Jones,to
get at his own, and he discovered the fire as before stated.
Mr. Hat'ter's brother was examined—his account was
coutradietory and confused, when compared with that of
his 'imam. He could not tell whether he arose on
Sunday morning at eight o'clock or ten. The part of Mr.
Hayter'a statement, respecting his going near the part
where the fire broke out on time Sunday morning, and
putting on his boots where the boy cleaned diem, was con-
tradicted by the boy, who said lie took them to Mr. Hay.
ter's room. The statement of the woman whom Mr. H.
described as having seen with a candle and lantern on
Saturday night, and rattling at the latch of a door, could
not he correct, as the gates haul been locked some hours
previous t a wOlllBlll could not have been there, and it be-
ing moonlight, there was no occasion for a candle and
lantern.—Mr. Harter bas been organist of that Cathedral
between two and three years; he ranked high in his pro-
fession, and he has been caressed and esteemed by all who
knew him at Hereford. He had chambers allowed him
in the College. .About two months since, his brother
went to visit him, and it being contrary to the rules of the
College for any stranger to sleep theme without special
permission, Mr. Hay:er applied to the Rev. Mr. Garbed,
the Custos, stating, that Isis brother had come to remain
with hint about a week, mid the reqaest was granted by
the Custos ; but instead of rt.:nail:dig a week, he has re-
mained two monads without any visible cause. On Mon-
day, after a loeg examination of iiesses, the magistrates
informed Mr. Harter that it was necessary to have some
circumstances of IRS conduct explained; and the Gentle-
men of the College requested him to remove his t csidence
from thence. At the close of the investigation, which
lasted till between five and six o'clock, the Gentlemen
retired to the College dinner, at which Mr. !filter did
not attend, though lie was entitled to du it by virtue of
his office. After We Gentlemen had dined the set vants
sat down to their dinner, and during the time the Gentle-
men were partaking of wine, one at the party, on lute king
out of a window, discovered smoke issuing ft um the 10of
of the upper cloisters. An alarm was given, mid mime' ;ions
were made by numbers to extinguish the file, ill which
they fortiniately succeeded. It was observed to proceed
from under a staircase which led to a lumber natal, where
there was straw and a variety of light matters. Lavender,
the Bow-street office's, was amongst those who went to
assist in extinguishing the fire, tied met with Mr. ILI); ter's
brother near the spin, whom he took into eustods , and
soon alter meeting with Mr. Hayter, lie also took him into
custody, and lodged them both in the pi ison.
