MARLBOROUGH-STEFZT.—Ypsterday a ,man, run m-
ed John Reynolds, was charged at this Office, with
riotous behaviour on Sunday night; in St. Giles's.—
The circumstances of his case were somewhat singu-
lar. , twelve in, the night the Prisoner came-
up to, a watchman in Dyot-street, and called on•him
. to take him (the Prisoner) to the watch-house. The,
watchinau,Supposing such strange cdndu& could only
be the effect of intoxication, paid no attention Io
what he said. The Prisoner then iniisted on himself
being taken into custody, sayiog, that he had been
guilty of so .many robberies that his crimes sat heavy
on his conscience; and he commanded the watch-
man to take him into custody on .his own confession.
The watchman stil; refused to apprehehd him, say-
ing, that if there was any truth in what he said, he-
should confess before a Magistrate ; it was not in his
,power to apprehend him, unless he saw-him kick. up
a row; break the peace, or thieving. • The man Mt-
methately took the hint, and liecame.'so extremely
riotous, that for the peace of the neighboUrhood the
watchman was under the necessity of taking him to
the watch-house, When asked by the Magistrate
what he did to obtain a livelihood, he said,• No-7
thing, Sir." He was committea to the House ;of
Correction, Coldbath-fields. •

WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Michael Eaugney
underivent an examination on'a charge of stealing
several Irish dollars from. the Mint, where he had
been employed as a labourer. The property being
traced to the PriSoner, he Was fu;ly committed fur
trial.

During the heavy storm of rain, thimder,
,and
lightning,' yesterday „morning, at half past nine
'o'clock,, a ball of fire struck the house of Mr. Milton,
fishmonger and fruiterer, of Crown-street, Wal-
worth, ran down a.sword hanging at the window
-of a room. where Mrs. Warner was sitting, withotit
doing her any injury ; passing a Wainscot, which it
shivered to pieces, and finally exploded in the lower
room, where Mrs. Milton was at breakfast, and struck
. her; she fell to -all appearance lifelesi, but from
the ready,
.assistanoe afforded by the Medical Gentle-
men, the use ()lime side' was restored ; the other is
wholly devoid of feeling, like the .e.tfeas of a para-
lytic stroke. Several other shocks were felt near the
same spot, but we do not know of any other where
personal injury has been sustained.
A SINGULAR FACT.—A few evenings since, as
two young women were. going through to church,
yard, in the WeSt-end of the town, a sort of a moan-
ing noise was heard, as if from- some person in dis-
tress. It excited some curiosity, as Might be ex- •
peaed ; and ou a nearer -approach to the sound, it
was supposed to proceed from a newly made grave..
Information was'-given to the Parish Officers, and
the grave, whiCh contained a pauper who had been
buried but a few hours, was opened, and the body
taken frern the- coffin., The man was putiiiito the
Vestry, and he lied three hours.. 'The' pauper had,
it was Supposed, died of the Small-pox, fOr he vvas,.,
apparently dead several hours; and, as usual, to pre-.4
vent the contagion in bad cases from spreading,. there
was not much time lost in burying the bpdy., He
was interred a second time by his reliativesP
