Captain James Fawckner, a gentleman who some
time ago made a voyage of discovery on the Western coast of
Africa, has been a great sufferer by the late fire at Plymouth,
having lost the whole of his furniture and other property,
amounting to about 6001. His friends have advised recourse
to the following novel method of relieving the calamity that
has thus overtaken him. A narrative of his wanderings and
sufferings has been lying is manuscript ever since his return to
England, and they suggest the publication of this record of
his early trials, in order to alleviate, in some measure, his late
sufferings. They confidently hope that something will be
raised by the sale of this little work to compensate for the
losses which he and his family have sustained in° the recent af-
flicting dispensation of Providence. The narrative consists of
a simple and faithful account of the traveller's sojourn among
the various tribes of Western Africa, together with a descrip-
tion of their manners and habits, and of the scenery and phe-
nomena of that hitherto almost unknown and unexplored part
of the globe. The subject, therefore, possesses in itself the
interest of novelty, end there is something so attractive in the
idea of bringing literature to the aid of misfortune, that it is
impossible not to wish the experiment success.

-ARREST OF A PARRICIDE.—A young man
named John Lynn, was brought before the magistrates of the
Head-office, under an escape warrant. It appears that
at the Carrickfergus Assizes in 1833 he was tried for the mur-
der of his father under circumstances of unparalleled atrocity,
having cut off his head with a hatchet ; but, being declared in-
sane, he was ordered to be imprisoned in the Antrim Lunatic
Asylum, from whence he escaped eight or nine months since,
and fled to England, but returned here last week. Two
peace officers were sent in quest of him ; he was found read-
ing a newspaper in an eating house. Tie officers proceeded
to arrest him but he resisted to desperation, and endeavoured
to pull out of the breast of his coat two loaded detonating pis-
tols. He had to be held down in a dray or float, and the com-
bined efforts of twelve watchmen were not sufficient to hand-
cuff him. Lynn, on heir.g questioned, said he had taken a
passage in an American shin sailing from Liverpool ; that one
of the police was about to arrest, and that he shot him. He also
said he was going down to Belfast to murder his wife, and then
shoot himself. —lrish Paper.
Seduction followed by suicide has just been wit-
nessed in the case of Ann Revill, a young girl, between 16 and
17 years of age. In little more than a month after she dis-
covered her pregnancy, she died from the effects of arsenic.
Alas poor girl, she fell by that which is the very beauty of her
being her trust in the love of him who won her by first en-
trusting her with hi own love.—Noitinglicon Review.
Notwithstanding the reports so industriously spread
by the opponents of the Cheltenham and Swindon railway,—
that the expences of obtaining the Act of Parliament were SO
enormous as to oblige the Company to borrow 20,0001. from
the Great Western Railway Company,—we understand, and
we have it from authority upon which we can depend, that the
expences actually have nut amounted to the amount of the de-
posits of 21. los. per shrre : the directors, instead of being
obliged to borrow, have a balance in hand from such deposits,

At the Sheriff's Court, Birmingham, the Under-
Sheriff has given a decision that has created a considerable
sensation in that town—viz , that clerks to attornies are not
eligible to act for their principals before that Court, and that
no person can address the jury but a barrister or solicitor.--
