DREADFUL FIRES.

(From the Norwich Mercury.)

We lament to record that incendiary fires still go on.
But the country is reused. An advertisement from the
Lord L;eutonant calls the Magistracy together to take the
best means of prevention, and societies are forming, as may
be seen by the notice of the meeting, at which Mr. Coke
presided. We trust they will institute effectual precaution.
On Thursday se'nnight, about seven o'clock in the
evening, a fire was discovered in a wheat stack belonging
to Mr. Samuel Sears, of East Beckham, near Holt. It
burnt with considerable fury for some time, but with the
great exertions of the labourers and people assembled, was
fortunately extinguished before the stack was more than
half destroyed.
On Friday ennight, between eight and nine o'clock in
the evening, a fire was seen blazing in the direction of
Coluey Hall, which proved to be on the middle farm of
Jehosphat Postle, Esq. It broke out from the interior of
the barn, and was not discovered till the roof was ail on
fire, which a few minutes after fell in with a tremendous
crash. A❑ old by•tlock-shed also, which stood between
the barn and the house in which the steward lives, and
adjoining to both, was entirely destroyed. The engioee
quickly arrived from Norwich, and directed their principal
force to the dwelling-house, and so prevented its destruc-
tion. The barn was nearly full of barley in the straw—
supposed to be between 20 and 30 lasts, which was all
destroyed. The property was insured in the Norwich
Union Office.

On Friday se'nnight a fire broke out in the parish of
Cattield, in the cottage of Mrs. E. Wright, which was
entirely consumed.
On Wednesday evening about half-past six o'clock, a
fire was discovered to have broken out in a stack of barley,
the produce of 43 acres, on the farm of Mr. J. Kitton,
of Bircham, in this county, and in a short time the stack
was wholly consumed. The loss is computed to amount
to from three to four hundred pound., and we lament to
add that the fire must have been the act of an incendiary,
as the stack was in a field apart from any building. The
Marquis of Cholmondeley, on whose estate the fire oc-
curred, and Captain Hoste were promptly on the spot,
and exertions are using to bring the offender or offenders
to justice. Mr. Kitton is insured in the Norwich Union
Fire Office.

THE MURDERERS of the ITALIAN BOY,

IMPORTANT DISCO VERY.

It may be remembered that, on searching the privy of
Bishop's house, the clothes of a female, including a pocket,
were found. In consequence of information received by
Mr. Thomas, he on Friday despatched Sergeant Taylor to
Holton, for the purpose of inquiring whether any female
had been missing from that quarter. After much exer-
tion the policeman discovered that a female, named Eli-
zabeth Pigburn, had left home about five weeks since and
had net been heard of, but that her sister was still resi-
dent in the neighbourhood. Taylor at length found the
sister, and after some conversation with her, asked her
particularly the nature of the dress her sister wore
when she left horse. The description given was so
close to those of the clothes found, that Taylor at length
informed her, as delicately as he could, of the find-
ing the clothes. Mrs. Pigburn immediately said, "If it
is my sister I should know her clothes ; and as to her
pocket, I have the pattern of it by me now"—at the
same time producing a paper pattern, which agrees in
every particular with the pocket in question, and which is
one of a very peculiar description. Mrs. Pigburn, with
a female friend, then accompanied the officer to the
station-house in Covent-garden, where they immediately
identified the clothes, and added the age of Elizabeth
Pigburn was forty-five years, and that although every in-
quiry had been made, no tidings could be gained of her.
There is now no doubt that this female has fallen a vic-
tim. to the monster or monsters now in Newgate.
1 Since writing the above, we have learned that Mr. Tho-
mas has obtained further information, which leaves no
doubt that the female in question was at Bishop's house
about the time she left home.
