bourg, near the Ural mountains. In a few hours the Stara
Slavadka, or old town, was completely destroyed. The fire
commenced at about six in the evening, and by ten it had
extended over an extent of four E quart) kilometres. Th.
flames burnt down morn than 800 houses, and more than
1,000 families are entirely ruined,

THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING
TO DROWN AN OLD ALAN.--Edward H.ari;:•r, 29,
io
Yerk.etreet, Hackney, cabinetmaker, William Mansf ed.
28, of Spencer. street, Shoreditch, and John Le mars, 31,
of York-street, Hackney, carvers, were on Wednesday
charged at Worship.strset Police-court with &sleuth
ing and nearly drowning Mr Meredith, chemist, residing
in Leonard. street, Shoreditch. Henry Heeling and Jame:
Ellis, two bricklayers, stated that while bathing in Sir
George Duckett'a Canal, at Hackney Wick, between 6 and
7 on the preceding evening, they happened to look round,
and saw Harper and Leonard, one in the water and
the other close to it, on the towing- path. They were
bolding a handkerchief which was extended be-
t ween them. An elderly man, the complainant,
was standing on the bank, dressed, and looking on at the
time. The prisoners suddenly dropped the handkerchief,
and the prisoner who was on the bank
pushea ilr Mere-
dith into the canal, there 7ft or Bft deep; Harper jumped in
upon him, and, placing his two hands upon his shoulders, he
and the other prisoner forced him down iato the water and
held him there for some time. His head was six or seven
inches below the surface. The witnesses called out that it
was shameful to treat an old man in that way, and swam
towards them, on which the two prisoners challenged them
to fight them, and got out of the canal laughing, leavieg
the complainant in it. He was in the water altogether
about ten minutes. Ellis tried to lift him out, but conic
not, on which Harting got on to the towing path, and lean-
ing over, grasped him, first by the hair and then by the
collar, and so pulled him out, insensible. He was carried to
a neighbouring public-house, where Mansfield wrung out
his wet clothes, and the others offered him drink " to square
it." Three railway labourers who were present were so in-
dignant at the men's conduct that they gave them a good
thrashing. They cut the lip through of one and blackened
tae eye of the other, and drove them out of the house.
Harmer, 166 N, said while on duty there with another con-
stable iu plain clothes, ne saw the prisoners run past him,
followed by a mob of about 60 persons, who were pelting
them with brickbats and stones, and shouting to the witness
to stop them. He and the other constable pursued, cap-
tured, and handcuffed Harper and Leonard. Manefiela
followed them. He took them back to the public-house,
where they found the complainant insensible, in which state
he remained for half an hour, and they were obliged to
fetch medical assistance to him. All the prisoners appeared
to him to b. sober, but one et them became ill Itt the cells
in consequence of the rough usage he had received from the
mob- The complainant's account of the affair was very in
complete. He had met Harper and Leonard, whom he had
known before and professionally aesister4 at a public house,
where they remained some time; they told hint they waateu
to bathe and asked hires to take tare of their clothes. This
he was doing When one of them, bat he did not know which,
came behind him, pushed him into the canal, and held
him down under the water tilt he hecattle ihsensible, and
he mu,t have been drowned but for the first witness's
assistance. He did not wish to press the charge wilt,
severity, as he knew the prisoners, but he had aiso lust from
12s to 14s, which he could ill afford, as although a year
since he was in very good circutustanbes, he had lately
become much impoverished. Mr Graves, ler the defence,
was instructed that the whole was the iesult cl pun,
accident, caused by the handkerchief slipping out of the pri•
Boners' hang,, and urged the improbability of their iliten-
fior;&ly injuring a man whom they knew, and ugamstwhona
they could have no malice or lud feeling of any kind. Lie
irea meat they had also received from the mob was so very
severe that he hoped it would be taken into considera-
tion. Mr Ellison (the magi trate) could not see that it was
an accident, but he did nut think, from the evidence, so much
mischief was intended as had resulted from it. It appeared
to him to be one of those stupid practical jokes some people
were prone to, and which should not be allowed to escape
same punishment. Mansfield seemed to have had but little
to do with it, and he might be discharged, but he should
sentence the other priscners to a penalty of 20s, or in default
to a fortnight's imprisonment in the House of Correction.
REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER.--A move-
ment is said to be on foot in Westminster for the purpose
of securing the return of Sir John Rumilly, the master ca
the Rolls, as member for the City of Westminster at the
next general election. Some time ago Sir De Lacy Evans
stated that he did not intend staueing tor the city again.
but since that he has intimated his intention of coming for-
ward. The Master of the Rolls is the only judge who is at
liberty' to f,;.014 a teat in the Home of Commons.
