going in-ba to look after his brothers, and James Young, his' sem-

suffocation' and his body was toond lying beside those of his two
brothers. John Ledger, the only survivor, was within f. 40 yards of
the candles at which the hydrogen fired, and saw it fire; he was
slightly hurt, but, from the effect of the after-damp, lay about ten
hours in a state of insensibility before he could be rescued from his

The Worthing Cross Coach, passing through Alickleham, Surrey,
last week, one of the horses became restive, and got his head under
the pole; a lady, on the outside, seeing that the coach must be

lives at were dangerously hurt.
A poor maniac, who, it appears, has come all the way from
Dorchester to seek redress for supposed injuries, stopped Lord
Ellenborough in his passage from the Court of King's Bench, yes-
terday, and stated himself to be the Son of King Solomon, the

an l'riday night. It appeared that during the bustle which was
occasioned by this melancholy scene, the prisoner carried into. the
Louse °fa respectable baker a great variety of property, which he
said was his, alleging that he had saved it from the flames. Atter
accumulating a great number of things in this way, he asked the
baker to lend hint a pound note to pay the persons who had been
assisting him. The baker, however, pet ceiving lie was much
fisir-

ient him that sum. Thus ended the business for that alight. Yes-

accompanied by several porters to assist him in carrying away his
goods, and he actually began to pack up the things, When several
persons came in and claimed them as theirs, and it finally turned

to have on his back, a coat which he had stolen, a shirt and a
waistcoat belonging to a Mr. Norton. He had also a white hat on

deavouring to make his way out of Haydou-spare, he was stopped
by the prisoner and another man, who pushed against him and
would not let him pass. While combating with them he felt his
pocket-book taken from his inside pocket. He immediately seized
the prisoner and his accomplice, but being unable to retain both,
