of a gentleman residing at Ea!green, about two mites
west of Edinburgh, by one of the windows, and carried
off a Tient ity of silver plate, a watch, three suits of
wearing apparel, and various tither article* The rub-
bers appear to have had some knowledge of the premises,
and 01 the situation of the proprietor of the houee, who
is pretty far advanced in hie, and rather deaf. After
forcing the iron gate in Irons of the house, they spread
paper upon the ground below the window at which
they amain to cutter, to prevent the tine from the broken
glass, and then unfastening the window bolt, effected
an entrance into the proprietor's bed-room, to which
they confined their depredations, delibelately searching
every canter, and carrying oil whatever they thought
proper, while he lay fast asleep. The robbery was lint

petted on IVerlitesday last at the residence of the Rev.
air. Rosh, the curate of the parish of Chelsea, near
Queen's Elm Turnpike. A cesspool of considerable
extent had become 1011, and much annoyed the itimaies
of the house. The Reverend proprietor, consulting with
a respectable bricklayer how it could be minted with the
least amitlyance, it was finally settled that instead of
emptying and carrying away the soil, a new cesspool of
larger and deeper thinenvions should be made by the side
of the old one, and on the above day the work was,
nearly completed, the top darned over, except an aperture
to admit a man and a ladder to pass. In the afternoon
Mr. Seymour, the bricklayer, and three men, being pre-
sent, it was :rented the old cesspool should be tapped, by
driving some bricks from their places, and one of the
men went down to perform it, which he did, and in a
little tune returned up the ladder and till down to *
state of insensibility. His ebilipallionS at first laughed
at him; and as he hail left Wale tools below, a second
proceeded to go down to get them, and in a kw seconds
was silent; the third then called out, but receiving tin
answer, he ventured beneath the fatal dome, and wad
soon " no more." Mr. Seymour himself, alarturae.rr his
men, ventured just within, when the foul air ale*, seized
him, arid he soared the fate or his two men. Mr. Sep
was found with his head downs ants, and it was, -
supposed he fell from the ladder some height. The•
dome was afterwards partly removed, and the bodies got
out ; a Cannier's Inquest was held nut Friday, and a ver-
dict of " suffocation from Mill air," was recorded. The
first man was removed to the workhouse, where warns
baths, &c were administered ; and although in a very
ill slate, hopes are entertained that he will recover.
