Yesterday afternoon about five o'clock, as a carman 's
cart was entering King's Head-yard, Snow-hill, laden with lump sugar
and a chest of tea, a truck was seen to loiter close after drawn by two
boys; at the same time a respectably-dressed young man endeavoured to
dislodge the chest of tea from the cart on to the truck, when the all_
seeing eye of the police on duty on the spot immediately stayed him in
his progress. When taken he feigned drunkenness, but the feigned ap-
pearance had a greater similitude to sudden fright occasioned by his
inconvenient detection.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT Bow.—Last night
during the raging of the conflagration at Deptford, a destructive fire
broke out in the drying rooms of the extensive chemical warehouses be-
longing to Mr. Craig, near Bow-bridge. After three hours' exertion
the firemen succeeded in arresting the progress of the destruction, but
not until a considerable loss of property had been sustained. No ac-
count could be obtained of the origin of the fire, but Mr. Craig is under.

injuries from the falling of pieces of burning timber from the upper part
of the warehouse destroyed.
We are given to understand that it is her Majesty's
intention to visit Brighton shortly after the 17th of August, the birth.

During a late violent storm at ituffec, in the depart-
ment of the Charente, a thunderbolt fell on a tree and killed a girl
standing at the foot of it. The shock was so great that it was felt at
a distance of 990 years, and several persons with some cattle were
thrown down by it. The poor girl's dress was torn into a thousand
pieces, parts were carried to the summit of the tree, and her garters to
a distance of upwards of: 0 yards.
An important capture was made by the police some
days since in the person of one Champenois, a liberated convict, the
agent of all the thieves in Paris. He advances them money, furnishes
them with papier:, and lodges them. He has in all quarters of Paris
several small rooms, in which he conceals them when it is necessary for
them to avoid the police ; and in return for these services receives a per
ventage on on all robberies committed; and is in consequence grown
rich.—Paris Paper.
The Canada thistle can only with great difficulty
be eradicated, on account of the distance to which its roots penetrate.
An instance is related of its descending roots having been dug out of a
quarry 19 feet in length ; and it has been found to shoot out horizontal
roots in every direction, some eight feet in length, in a single season

On Tuesday evening, between eight and nine, an
alarming accident occurred at the corner of King-street, St. James's.

when the horses suddenly shyed at some boys playing in the street, and
sprang upon the foot pavement, forcing the body of the carriage over an
iron post at the corner of the street. The footman, who was riding with
the coachman, fell between the horses, and was much hurt, and the car.
riage was overturned. MI the ladies were fortunately extricated without l'
sustaining injury, and were conveyed home in another carriage.
A most distressing accident occurred yesterday
morning to Richard Godding, a man who has been many years in the I
employ of Messrs. Coombe and Delatield, brewers, of Castle-street,
Long-acre. It appears that the poor fellow was driving the dray to-
wards home, at about eleven o'clock yesterday morning, when on a sod.
den the horse took fright and dashed on at a furious speed. Godding,
in running forward to seize its head, stumbled against a stone and fell ;
the wheel of the dray the next moment passed over his body. The un.
fortunate man was so dreadfully injured that not the slightest hopes are
entertained of his recovery,
