DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—The premises of Mr'
Brown, printer, situate in High-street, Deptford, were Vaal
destroyed by fire early on Saturday morning. On Thurs 49
night, near the city of Bath, a fire destroyed a splendid We
belonging to a gentleman named Maitland, situated in thd°
London-road ; two other villas' adjoining were also daulaP
The extent of the loss is about 7,0001., 6,0001. of which is In'
sured in the London Assurance Office. On the night of 'fuer
day last a brig called the Isabella, of Whitby, Capt. John Wir
ker, master, took fire off Hartlepool, and was burnt to te.e.
water's edge. The crew escaped by taking to the ship's boat
Another fire took place• on the same night in the torn of
verton, and four houses were burnt to the ground.
AWFUL OCCURRENCE.—On Tuesday morn
Ling
last an occurrence took place at Ruttershaw, near Log
Moor Works, which has excited a strong sensation. Itb°6
six o'clock dreadful shrieks were heard to issue from the hour
of S. Wooller, of Low Moor Foundry. A mason named Pyrau
rushed into the house, when he beheld Wooller's wife lYingt,°:
the floor, the blood streaming from her, and her head such
A
spectacle, that it was almost a shapeless mass with wounds oil
bruises. This so affected Pyrah, that he sank down on a Vie
sick. Pyrah was followed into the house by Woodhead.
woman was then choking from the coagulated blood in "
mouth ; Woodhead with considerable presence of mind re-
moved it with his finger. When Pyrah had recovered, 1
began to seek for Wooller. After a strict search, he wasili:d
on a bed up stairs, covered over with a counterpane. llewhich
inflicted a large wound on his neck with a pocket-knife,
was very blunt, and did not effect his purpose. He was secured ":
the meantime medical assistance was sent for. Two surgeons 30:__
rived, and every attention was paid to the unfortunare
woman. During the greater part of the Tuesday she was galas
insensible, but partially recovered her recollection, "d At
enabled to give a simple " yes" or " no" to questions.
the time we write, Friday morning, we hear that she is alive,
but little or no hopes are entertained of her recovery- The
wounds had been inflicted with the poker and fire-shovel.'°
return to Wooller—he has since maintained a dogged silence,
_j
and refused up to Wednesday to eat any thing. He attempted
while in the custody of the constable again to commit suicide.
Various rumours are afloat as to the cause of this brutal actiot
It seems that Wooller and his wife had not for some time iiy,;%"
happily, and had been parted. He had before expressed
determination to murder her. It is stated that he married
somehow against his inclination. Be this as it may, she made'
el
we understand, a notable wife. She has had five children, Br 6"
was in a state of pregnancy.—Leeds
ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN
WAY.—THE BRISTOL MAIL ON FlRE.—During its Id 051:
from London to Twyford, by the Great Western Railways e
Saturday evening, the Bristol mail caught fire, owing to s°""t;
of the cinders being blown from the tender into the front boo.o
The guards of the mails saw the fire, and exerted themselves ,10
every possible way by blowing their horns and calling out to it
conductor to stop the train, but they could not succeed :r.d
making him hear ; the consequence was, that when they arrived
at Twyford the whole of the boot was on fire, and of the eon,ad
tents nearly everything was consumed, consisting of •f
i
able parcels and passengers' luggage to the value, it s said,
4001. to 5001. Providentially the fire did not reach the
n,
or newspaper bags. The guard states that if the mail had eo_
firmed on the train many minutes longer it would have bee:
entirely destroyed, as, in addition to the strong current arrist%
from the rapid motion of the train, the wind was blowing fr?
the south-west, so that it would have been consumed almost w,
stantly, and the other three mails taken by the same nerd
would in all probability have also been destroyed. The.gfroto
states that large pieces of fire were frequently flying 0"
the tender during the passage.
