FIRE AT LORD ,SEFTON'S.-About nine o'clock
yesterday morning a fire was discovered in the drawing-room
of Lord Sefton's residence, in Arlington-street. The t-;°°_v
°
and the parish engines were quickly brought to the spot, 3.1,1_.
after the firemen hal laboured some hours the danger was sn.u_
dued. The fire, it appeared, originated in the saloon of.tti
Marquis of Salisbury's, whose residence adjoins that of Lord
e Sefton's. Some soot had fallen behind the iron plate at tine
bark of the-stove, and this had ignited the beams which con-
nected the two houses. The fire had made its way for so:eci
hours unnoticed among the flowing and the rafters, and, l
not great exertions been used by the experienced firemen
attended with the engines, there is very little doubt that both
manes ins would have been in a very perilous situation. T°,,.
damage was principally confined to the flooring and woodvOr'
of the drawing-room and the library ceiling.
On Thursday a young man named Isaac Moses*
was buried in Meavy church-yarl. Although only sixte.ell
years of age, his height, when living, was seven
feet! and
was otherwise finely proportioned. He was the second son
of Mr. Moses, farmer, of Meavy, who has ten other sons, all
" a rapping young fellows."
la_e
On Thursday some incendiary, for the third time in
little more than a year, set fire to the wheat stacks on the fain
of Mr. E. Turner, of Trowse-hall. The stacks, which are
at a considerable distance from each other, were both on fire
at the same moment.—Norfolk Chronicle.
The tradespeople in Brighton estimate that by the
death of the Duchess of St. Alban's that town sustains the
loss of an annual expenditure of ten or twelve thousand
pounds ; and a still larger deficit, if the neighbourhood and
poor of Brighton be included, by the demise of the excellent
Earl of Egremont.
MUTILATING THE SCRIPTURES.—Since the
paragraph in our paper of the 22d November appeared, rf:
sp -ct:ng the habit of the late Sir Harry Nloncrieff, of onin.
tug certain passages in reading the Old Testament, we
have been informed by a gentleman, who has access t°
know, that, in Mr. Haldane's congregation, Leith-Ws,,,'
where they read the Old Testament in the forene°°'
and the New Testament in the afternoon, straight f°,.7;
ward, exactly the same practice prevails as we have notion
in the case of Sir Henry, whole chapters being sometini:
omitted, where they do not evidently tend to edification, °r
are peculiarly hard to be understood. Mr. Haldane is at Pre:
sent in high repute with the Conservative and Church Par`,J
on the Annuity-tax question. His example may, therefore,
have some weight also in the Irish Education eontroversy.;.,
for, if so great an authority on religious matters considers I,
proper for his congregation to pass over whole chapters as
unedifying or hard to be understood, surely they will not se-
riously contend that the same practice may not beneficially be
followed in the e lucation of children.—Scotsman.
RARA AVIs.—A few years ago a northern diver,
or ember goose, having been shot on Talkin Tarn, in Cumber-
land, the circumstance was noticed as an extraordinary occur-
rence, that bird being rarely seen so far south.. A fine speci-
men of the same bird, measuring, from the tip of the beak t°
the end of the tail, two feet ten and a half inches, and fro'
tip to tip of the wings four feet four inches, was taken alive 11
a boy on the 16th ult. in the public street, of Pennith. Th°
cause of its not taking flight from its pursuer cannot be ac-
counted for, as its wings, on being examined, were found to
be perfectly sound.—Caledonian Mercury. . m
About 18 months ;
since one of the miners working
at Hust-lane Colliery, Chadderton, at a depth of 100 yards,
cut out of the coal strata a piece of sandstone rock, baying
every appearance of a human thigh, leg, and foot, joined to-
gether, flattened, and a little bent at the knee, as in a natural
state. The thigh appears somewhat attenuated, is broken off
about the middle, and the whole is covered with a cost of
black shale. From the extremity of the thigh to the heel, In
a right line, is two feet three inches ; from the heel to the toe,
ten inches ; gilt of the thigh nine incites ; calf, eleven inehes;
foot, seven inches. The reader will perceive that the wh0,,,,.
is tolerably proportioned; it appears as if the limb had been
separated from the body previous to its transformation int°
stone. This curiosity is in the possession of Mr. Moses
Mellor, at the colliery.—Manchester Courier.
ECONOAIY.—A correspondent informs us that woo
d
goes further when left out of doors than when well housed'
,
some of his having gone upwards of a quarter of a mile in °n°
night..
