nant and Mr. Robinson, two Magistrates, were
Respondents..—Mr.:Kitchin having been convieled

Saturday morning, at four o'clock, as Mr. Hill,
the copyist of Covent-garden Theatre, was employ-
ing himself on the stage, he heard a noise in one of
the boxes on the lower tier; and, on his approach.
ing it, he discovered a person who had, it appeared,
been there all night. A watchman was procured to
secure the person, who was supposed to have con-
cealed himself for some evil purpose; but, on' inves-
tigation, he turned out to be a man of respeetability,
who had taken up his lodging there when in a‘state
of inebriation:

THE STOnm.—Among the many extraordinary
interpositions of Providence, the following ciroum-
stance stands almostunparalleled : during the height
of the storm-on -Thursday morning,. a stack of chim-
nies, belonging to the house of Mr.:BIGNELL, of
Shepherd's Bush, without the slightest, notice to af-
ford preparation for escape,. fell through the roof of
the house into his bed-room, with a Most trernen-,
dous and awful crash, breaking a beam 'which: lay
lengthwayS 'Over the bed, through which it was-
forced, and at last rested against the floor 4 the other,
part destroying at the,same tithe a child's bed, placed!
immediately opposite. The ends of the wall fortu-!
nately reynained fixed. At the first alarm,'Mr. BIG-
NELL direaed his aid to the proteaion of his youngest
child (only two months old), lying by his side, 'and
succeeded at-length in escaping from the ruins, with
his-wife much bruised, and the infant unhurt - and
afterwards iu extricating the child in the other bed
from- its. perilous situation, who had remained asleep
during the Whole of this terrific scene. When it is
added,' that the brick-wbrk, wood,. lath, and mortar
that fell, weighed nearly two tons, it will give 'an
impede& idea of this miraculous escape, and fill the
minds of those who arc unacquainted with the fa.:
milt'with gratitude to that 'being, who, in a mo-
ment of extreme danger, views his creatures with
compassion, and mercifully shields them by his
power. -
