On Wednesday, between 3 and 4 o'clock, a fire
was discovered in the laundry of Rollesby Workhouse, which
burned vi ith such fury as to threaten the destruction of the
whole building. The master was absent at Yarmouth,
to which place he had taken the porter of the house by order
of the magistrates, for the purpose of escorting two paupers
who had assaulted one of the guardians. The farmers in the
neighbourhood and their men immediately rendered all the
assistance in their power, but the fire, which raged fur many
hours, could not be got under until the greater portion of the
building was consumed. The books and papers of the Union
were saved, but a large quantity of bed and other linen was con-
sumed. On the day of the fire five families, who had been
for years inmates of the house, the men and their wives being
of middle age, were to have been separated according to the
orders of the Poor Law Commissioners : the husbands were
also idle characters. Considerable dissatisfaction has been
shown by these parties at the above arrangement, some of
whom have taken this means of revenging themselves. A
clue has been obtained to the perpetrators of this crime
through the means of one of the paupers whom the master
was taking to Yarmouth, and two women, one of whom
was the pauper's own wife, have been apprehended.
On first seeing the fire, the pander said, " Oh, I
know all about that," and insinuated that it was the
work of the women. Before the Magistrates, who sat
on Thursday to examine into the facts, it was proved that
many persons present refused all assistance to extinguish the
conflagration, but did not interrupt the efforts of those who
were using their endeavours to put it out. Many charges of
thieving articles from the burning workhouse were gone into,
and the parties committed for various terms of imprisonment.
Mr. H. Marsh, of Martham, galloped his horse to the fire for
the purpose of rendering assistance; on reaching the spot, the
poor animal fell dead under him. The workhouse is largely
insured. —Norwich Mercury.

This evening as a respectable farmer and a man
named Holme, from the parish of Resolis, were at dinner in a
public-house here, the latter suddenly struggled and fell on the
floor. Medical aid was promptly procured, but was of no avail.
The cause of death was ascertained to be suffocation, produced
by a piece of meat.--Inverness Courier.

No public manifestation has taken place since our
last, in reference to the election for this division of the county;
but there is still every reason to believe that a " Liberal" can-
didate will take the field in opposition to J. Wilson Patten,
Esq., M.P., one of the present Members.—Preston Chronicle.
Trade in every department in Bolton continues very
dull, and many manufacturers are stopping the weavers, as
their warps are finished. The fall in the price of yarns has
depreciated the value of muslins on hand from 3s. to 4s. per
cut, and four or five cotton mills have commenced running
short time. _

Wanley Sawbridge, Esq., of London, was out with
his relation's hounds at Brix worth, on Wednesday; when
about to take a leap over a fence the horse slipped, by the ice
and snow on the ground, and he was thrown over the fence,
the horse falling on him. He was immediately conveyed to
Northtoft Lodge, where he received medical attendance, but
died early on Thursday morning. The unfortunate gentleman
kad his collar-bone and spine fractured, and was otherwise
much hurt. He was a person of large fortune, and nearly
connected with Mr. Sawbridg,e, of Haddon Hall, with whom
be was on a visit.—Northampton Chronicle.
