CAPTURE OF ANOTHER BURGLAR..--A fellow;.

having in his possession a complete set of house-
breaking implements, was last night taken in :an
uninhabited house in Stanhope-street, Clare-
market, adjoining the house of Mr. Lamb, pawn-
broker. There have been no less than sixat-

tempts made in the parish since Sunday.—The,
prisoner was this day examined at Bowstreet,

and committed. •
ThE MURDER NEAR BURY.---We believe that
nothing has transpired since our last, in the
neighbourhood of Bury, relative to the dreadfat
murder at Birtle-cure-Bamford ; but a man named '
Ralph Weston, who, we believe, is implicated
by some disclosures made by- Diggle, was appre-
hended on Sunday in the ne4,,libourhood Of
Keighley. We understand that, on the iNlenday"
after the robbery, NVeston (who is a cotton=spin,
tier by trade, and was once apprentice with Sir ,
R. Peel) applied in his real name,at the t-ctary of
Messrs. John Knight and Co. near Keighley,W here
he obtained work as a carder: but he had not
remained there many days before some expres".'t'
sions which fell from him excited suspiciot s
the minds of his employers, that he had fled, from
justice ; and towards the end of last week, from
his knowledge of the neighbourhOod of the
town of Bury, aiid of persons who had resided
there, he became suspected as one of the murderer,s.
On Saturday, a perusal of the Leeds illocui#
(which contained a description of tbe persOn •ef
Westcn, who wa3 said to have absconded' from
Bury), convinced Messrs. Knight and Co. that
their suspicions were well founded
; the personal
appearance and dress described belle; pre'cisely
those of the man in their employ. They Cense:-
quently had him apprehended on Sunday, and he
was brought over to Bury yesterday. We un-
derstand he does not deny his intimacy
Diggle, and admits that lie was with him for se-
veral days before, and until three o'clo(k of the
day when the murder was committe,l, but says
that,he did not see him afterwards. lie :has not
as yet, undergone any examination ; bat we h.
lieve the only evidence against him is the decla-
ration of Diggle, which, if unconfirmed by other
testimony, will be, of very little value.—Olan•-
chester Paper.)
lIIFL/mmATIO7i OF GAS.—On Tuesday night
last, about half-past ten o'clock, as several coal.
heavers were playing gambols %a jib etch other,
opposite the bar of Mr. GILBERT'S wine-vaults,
Picket-street, Strand, one of them jumped on
a table, and endeavoured to light his pipe
by the gas burner. In doing this, he knocked
down the glass protector, and some bottles,
filled with brandy, which stood on the shelves
of the window. The bottles breaking, their
contents fell over the gas light; produced a Sad-
den and violent inflammation, burst through. the
glass, and set fire to the window-frame, which
continued to burn with rapidity, and threat-
ened destruction to the house, until a quantity
of water was thrown on it, by which means
it was' at length extinguished. The coal-
heaver, who was the cause of the accident, had. his
tarry smock-frock set on fire,and was running about
the shop, in flames.. One of his companions, how-
ever, came with a pail of water, and threw it over
him, when he fell on the floor, and rolled himself
about, while his' sable assistants were fanning
him with their large hats to put out the flames,
Having succeeded in this,
.they stripped off the
dress of the burnt man, who was dreadfully in-
jured all over the shoulders, face, and - hands.
He was in great pain yesterday morning, and
still lies in a very precarious situation.
FOUND DROWNED.—The body of a middle
aged woman was yesterday picked up in the
Thames, near Execution Dock, and conveyed to
Wapping hone-house. The 'deceased was dressed
in a cotton gown with red spots, and had a
wedding ring on her finger';'l' Frans the condition
of the body it is supposed*g_iist have beet,
