LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT CHANCERY---(Tn DAi4
WEST INDIA ESTATES:,--SHAW V. SISIPSON.
The . laoitu CuAtfcgrd.ott, on taking his seat,
gave judgment in this cause, which has excited
no small degree of interest in the mercantile
world. The subject of the suit was certain es-
tates- in the West Indies, which had been pur-
chased by Mr. Shaw for a, stipulated sum. of
9,0171. ; of this sum sixteen thousand pounds,
had been paid, when Mr. Shaw became in-
solvent, a (locket was struck against him,
and he was made a bankrupt. llis Lordship
in giving judgment, noticed the fact of the agree-
went having been entered into between the par-
ties for raising a mortgage, or for the sale of the:
estate, and went on to state that the assignees of
Shaw would undoubtedly be entitled to the es-
tate on their paying the sum due OD the amount
of the purchase money. Ills Lordship, however,
wished them to come to any reasona h le consignment
amongst themselves, rather than call on him to
give an adverse judgment ; he ,therefore, its
in the event of this not being acceded to, should•
direct that Mr. Shaw should have the produce ill

his possession, as consignee, from the time of the
motion, he paying all chartres for the supplies
furnished to the estate by the other parties. That #
Mr. Grant, the person named, should now be
appointed consignee, and in like manner should,
out of the produce of those vast estates, liquidate
all claims upon them.

:NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURTL(Tn:s DAr).

William Sexton, of ltc henot e, near heste r,
master mariner, came up to claim his discharge;
whose opposition was conducted by Mr. lima
on behalf of the detaining creditor. It appeared
from the schedule that the insolvent had beets
discharged within tke limited period in 11420,
and since which he had accumulated debts to the
amount of 5001. and upwards. his present in-
solvency he accounted for by losses sustained
during the years 1821, 2, and 3, in being com-
pelled to throw 7001. worth of property over-
board. This, the Learned Counsel said, was a
very improbable story, and left the Court to be-
lieve the statement.—The COURT declared that

the insolvput was not again entitled to the be.
nefit within five ye..lrs, unless he got the consent
of three-fourths of his creditors.

EXTENSIVE FRAUD under the BANKRUPT LAWS.
13ow-STREET.—(`TIits T.)--George Evana,
formt.rly jeweller and silversmith at Ilastiog.,
was put to the bar charged with defrauding his
creditors of property to upwards of 3,0001. The
prisoner subsequently to his bankruptcy came
to London, but in consequence of information
he was followed by the messenger under the
commission, and traced to London, and at
length to Pimlico, where an immense quantity
of jewellery, watches, &c. were found con-
cealed, which he had surreptitiously removed
in order to defraud his creditors. Pro.
perty was also found at Hastings, and at Lewes,
in Sussex. Several highly respectable tradesmen
now came forward and identified the property
found at Pimlico, which amounted to upwards of
1,8001. Mr. ALLEY attended for the prosecu-
tion and a Solicitor for the prisoner) who was
committed.

'There seems to be as much► doubt at present
with respect to the continuance of the French
troops in Spain, as there originally was on the
subject of their entrance.. Contradictory asser-
tions appear every day. 44 They will be with.
44 draw pi :" 44 They will remain." At this mo-
ment the latter rumour prevails. The public
will see a letter from a Paris correspondent, in
this opinion, which no doubt is the more pro-
bable : and we hear nothing more of the substi-
tution, of Don Carlos for Ferdinand. Our cor-
respondent, however, says, that should the
French troops retire, 44 the civil war will break
" out with more fury than ever." What fury, we
ask, was there in the civil war before the arrival
of the French ? Never constitution was changed,
or attempted to be changed, with so little blood-
shed, from'a grinding despotism mingled with a
horrible superstition to liberty and liberality.—
f the civil war should break out with fury on
the retreat of the French, it will be their visit
that will have imparted to it its malignity. But
what a people the Spaniards must be, who suffer
handful of foreigners to retain possession of
their country, year after year, and allow the in.
voters the full option of remaining or retiring
when they please, like maskers from a ball-room

The wars which had been waged in Ireland
between the State and the factious, which suc-
cessively disturbed it. being extinct, or for the
moment suspended, the party-leaders are falling
foul one of another. Sir Abraham Bradley King
has sworn informations against Mr. Kelly, pub-
jimer of the hish Times, for a libel ; which
libel couijstS of soMething more than insinuations,
according to the Orange Baronet's ,own account,
against the fidelity with which he and certain
others of his'brethreu had administered the funds
of their respective Lodges. Mr. O'Couhell ob-

jected to the informations being received by the
Magistrate, on the ground that Sir A. B. was not
entitled to prosecute for any charge made against
his conduct as member of an illegal association.
—lt does, indeed, appear to us, that the
fit subject of prosecution would be the
charge of being an Orangeman at all—not
that of being a treacherous or knavish
Orangeman. Suppose, for instance, a paragraph to
be published, asserting that " A, B, and C, three
" notorious highwaymen, had a desperate guar-
" rel," and that " A was kicked out of the gang
" for purloining some of the conjoint plunder,"
would it not be highly amusing, if the expelled
party were to put out of sight the reproach of
being a public highwayman, and prosecute for the
imputation of cheating his brother thieves ? Mr.
Gabbet, however, although he declared the
Orange Society mischievous and illegal, received
Sir Bradley's informations. We protest against
being suspected of a wish to rank Sir Bradley
King with vulgar felons, but have merely illus-
trated the point of law which was raised by the
Catholic Barrister.—(lbid.)

THE THEATRE.

DRUILT•LANE.—The once popular Play of
Pizarro was repeated last night, and followed by
the ballet of Cinderella, a piece that naturally
revives juvenile recollections, and must conse-
quently be amusing at any period of life. The
pupils of Mr. IfuLLIN exerted themselves with
great correctness, spirit, and grace, and the au-
dience warmly testified their approbation. The
Enchanted Courser concluded the entertainment,-
but it was announced that it was to take its/light
from the Theatre to-morrow night.

A new Piece it, it seems, preparing► at Drury•
Lane Theatre, taken from Mr. Moo►te's admired
Poem of ',ALLA Rootut. The work certainty
atrords ample scope for the most splendid
scenery, and many of its incidental narratives
are calculated to excite strong interest and sym-
pathy.

MAYNARD V. U11.01)E8.

This case 44 been tried here, and a verdict found for the
defendants. Colonel Lyon had insured his life at the Pelican
Insurance-offiCe for a sum of money advanced 'by the tdaintiff:
Mr. Scantvrr said he did not mean to call upon the Court
to disturb the finding of the Jury that Colonel Lyon's was not
an insurable life; but the plaintiff and the defendants were
equally unacquainted with that fact. He meant, therefore, to
urge, as a point of law, that the plaintiff
was entitled to re-
cover, though Colonel Lyon could not recover.
Alt. Justice BAY LEY—It was a condition contained in the
policy that the life was an insurable life..
.Mr. Scent LETT— I'm I cannot disguise that fact.
Mr. Justice BANLV.Y.—Then clearly

POETRY.

A MOTHER TO HER FIRST-BORN.
'Tis sweet to watch thee in thy sleep,
When thou, my boy, art dreaming ;
'Tis sweet o'er thee a watch to keep,
To tnark the smile that seems to creep
O'er thee, like day-light gleaming.

'Tis sweet to mark thy tranquil breast
Heave, like a small wave flowing ;
To see thee take thy gentle rest,
With nothing, save fatigue, oppres'd,
And health on thy cheek glowing.

To mark thee now, or when awake,
Sad thoughts, alas ! steal o'er me I
For thou, in time, a part must take,
That may thy fortunes mar or make,
In the wide world before thee.

But I, my child, have hopes of thee,
And may they ne'er be blighted !
That 1, years hence, may live to see
Thy name as dear as all to me—
Thy virtue well requited. "

I'll watch thy dawn of joys, and mould
Thy little mind to duty ;
I'll tench thee words, as I behold
Thy faculties, like flowers, unfold
In intellectual beauty.
And then, perhaps, when I am dead,
And friends around me weeping.
Thou'lt see me to my grave, and shed
A tear upon my narrow bed,
Where I shall then be sleeping.

NE WM A RKET—(Sti ImeT NIGHT.)
Having given an account of the week's races, we cannot help
observing, that upon the whole it has been a good one; and
each day's sport has been in some degree better than the pre-
ceding ones, and the weather has been more favourable as the
Meeting approached its conclusion. The principal race for
the week, and on which more money was depending than any
other, was that between Centaur and Sultan. These two, be-
yond a doubt the best four mile horses of the present day, had
to combat that distance, when Centaur won s • he is now turned
off', and is not to run any more; he was got by Canopus, dam
by Orville, grandam the dam of &lint, Rubens, &c. by Alex-
der, Ilighflyer, Alfred, Engineer, out of the dam of Ray Mel-
ton. In the years 1821, 22, 23, and 24, he has run 33 times,
and has won 24 ; he has finished, perfectly sound and without
blemish, by beating Sultan. Sultan, we are happy to say, is
also to be turned oft' for stock, after having won a great num-
ber of races. The same perspicuity was observable as on
former occasions in the Judge, Clerk of the Course, and Ma-
nager of the Scales, and the members of the Jockey Club ex-
pressed themselves highly pleased with the excellent arrange-
ment of the dinners at the rooms.

SALFORD SEIISIOWO.—.Noes AUCTIONS.— Richard Poy.
ser, Joseph °amide, and Edward Yates, were charged with
conspiracy to cheat and defraud Thos. Percival of his money, by
inducing him to buy a metal watch which they represented to
be a gold one. The particulars of this case have already been
before our readers. Percival, the prosecutor, they liiay rev))_
lea, on 3d August last, was passing up Shude-hill along with
his wife, when they entered the auction-room of the prisoner
Porter. The only persons in the room were the prisoner, wit_
and on his entering, the room, a lot was knocked down to one
nests wife, and himself. Peyser was selling silk handkerchiefs,
of them. A gold watch was then put up, which was warrant.;
ed to be the real thing, and Percival taking it to be a golden
bargain, bid 3/. 35., anti it was knocked down to him instouter.
The gold watch turning out to be not worth a farthing, a
warrant was obtained, and the parties taken before the Itlagis-
trates, as we before described. The Jury found all the pri.
Boners Guilty. The Chairman, in passing sentence, said, that
the case was a very serious one, and of great importance to the
public, particularly to the poor of Manchester. These mock
auctions had done more to defraud the lower classes than auy
thing else. He was happy this prosecution hail taken place.
and he hoped it would have the effect of putting down mock
auctions altogether. At the conclusion of this atlases'' he sen-
tenced Porter and Yates to two years' imprisonment, in Lftn-
caster Castle, and Gartside, who was a pensioner, and in humble
circumstances, and moreover a mere servant, to six month!;"
imprisonment in Manchester gaol. Poyaer then shook clan_
side heartily by the hand, and with yaw* left the bar with
much apparent indifference..-Plaathesur Paper.)

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

This morning, according to civic custom, the
bells of the different churches in the City rang
merry peals, it being what is termed Lord
Mayor's Day. The new Loan MaYou was met
at the Mansion-house by the Sheriffs, Aldermen
Brown and King, Sir James Shaw, Sir John Per-
ring, Sir Charles Flower, Maguey, C. Smith,
Thompson, &c., when they partook of a cold
collation ; after which they proceeded in grand
procession from Guildhall, through Cheapside,
round the south side of St. Paul's Cathedral,
down Ludgate-bill, New Bridge-street, to
Blackfriars-bridge, where the barge of the Gold.
smiths' Company was first moored to the stairs,
decorated and gilded in the most profuse
and splendid style. Ilis Lordship, accompanied
by the late Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and some
of time Aldermen, went on board. The other City
barges were then placed in position, and the Civic
Authorities having embarked, the splendid spec-
tacle moved up the Thames to Whitehall Stairs.
The river was covered with boats and cutters,
and, from the fineness of the day, the scene was
imposing in the extreme. At Whitehall Stairs
the procession was formed, and amid the dis-
charge of cannon, the flourish of trumpets, and
the acclamation of the populace, his Lordship
landed, and proceeded with the usual state
to the Court of Exchequer, where the Learned
Barons of that Court, in full robes, received
him, and the usual Corms and ceremonies •of
counting the nails, cutting the sticks, signing the
rolls and deeds, being gone through, after the
usual addresses and congratulutioas, his Lord-
ship proceeded to the other Courts, and invited
the Judges to the Grand Civic Banquet; after
which the authorities returned by water to the
place of starting, whence the city cortege of ca-
valry, men in armour, and the different com-
panies formed in procession, and with bands of
music, proceeded in state to the Mansiou-house.
Tl►e streets were crowded to excess.

DISCOVERY FOR THE CURE OF CANCER!! !

•
must be a great consolation to those who
are afflicted with Cancer, Glandular Complaints, and
indurated Swellings, to know that the ANTINIONIAL 0110
discovered by the late Dr. Marryat, a short time previous to
his death, an►d proved to he a certain cure for the above
'complaints, if applied in time, and a palliation in confirmed
Cancer, is now carefully prepared fro►t the original Receipt,
by a private Gentleman, and sold its bottles at I Is. and 4is,
each, with full directions for Use, by Isis Agents, Messrs.
Butlers', Chemists, No. 4. Cheapside, St. Paul's, and 2201
Regent-street, near the Argyle Rooms, Loudon; Warerind:
place, Edinburgh ; and Sackville-street, Dublin I and by the
principal Medicine Venders throughout the kingdom.
Timely application of this invaluable remedy, in every
case where there is the slightest appearance or apprehension-
of Cancer, is most seriously advised, in order to arrest at
once the dangerous progress of its baneful effects, and pre-
-vent the painful and too frequent necessity of the knife.
In cases of Brunchncele, usually called the llerb)shire
Neck, the Antimonial Oil is held in the highest estimation,
as being peculiarly efficacious.

HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.

The weather has been generally good, and the
harvest is advancing rapidly. In the immediate vicinity of
Edinburgh, about one third of the grain is already cut. We
have,. however, had a heavy fall of rain last night and this
morning.—(Neotsnian.)
Harvest, owing to the heavy rains which took place the bey
ginning of this week, has not commenced on the west coast, but
the crops appear all of them to be in a very thriving condition,
and a few days sunshine will fit them for the sickle.—(Glasgow
Chrottick.)
On the 9th instant, a field of barley belonging to Mr. now,
of Cmftnaprock, near erica; was cur. The seed was sown on
the Ifith April last; so that it had beets only 4 months in the
ground from the time of sowing till that of reaping.
The harvest is general in the neighbourhood of Perth ; at
the crop is more luxuriant than for a great many years past._
( Srotman.)

Ths general appearance of the crops around Dundee encou-
rages the most sanguine expectations of an abundant harvest.
%%Meat, barley, and oats last week fell before the sickle; and
the harvest is becoming pretty general in the neighbourhood.—
Though the propitious weather has been occasionally broken
in upon by partial showers, they have not yet been such as to
injure the crops, while they have proved highly beneficial to
the potatoes and turnips on the dry sandy soils to the eastward.
harvest was also begun this week in the fertile vale of smith-
more. One farmer at Balmerino was last week using oatmeal.,
the growth of the present year. Sonic fields of bus sown bar-
ley have changed their colour a little; but their appearance
gives an earnest of an ample p -Auer. Potatoes and turnips
seem most luxuriant, and promisa an abundant return.—(Dan-
dee Advertiser.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—The pickpockets seem to have been lively
yesterday.—William Davis, a respectably dressed person, was
put to the bar, charged with robbing Oliver Lloyd, lisq., a
solicitor, residing in Clifford's Inn, of a valuable silver watch.
Mr. Lloyd stated that last night, as lie was coming out of
the pit of Covent-Garden Theatre, the prisoner pulled at his
watch, and had it not been secured by a guard-chain, he
would have succeeded in his object. The prisoner, by the
advice of his Solicitor, Mr. HuMPHRIES, declined saying any
thing at present. Mr. HALLS fully committed him.—Robert
Dunford, an old dealer in the bandana way, was charged
with picking the pocket of a gentleman of the name of
Hall, who was returning home last night front Drury-lane
Theatre, and in Russell-street the prisoner very dexterously
dived into the gentleman's pocket, End twitched out neatly a
new silk handkerchief, with which lie ran off as far as the end
of Bow-street, but was secured by Smith and Curtis, two of the
patrol. Mr. HALLS committed the prisoner for one mouth to
the House of Correction.—Charles Stewart was charged by Mr.
Richmond, one of the clerks of this office, with attempting to
pick the pocket of a gentleman last night near the door of the
office. Mr. Richmond stated that seeing the prisoner putting
his hand into a gentleman's pocket, and 'drawing partly out 'a
white handkerchief, he pushed bins into the office. Committed
for one month. _

MARYLEBO NE-Or Yesterday William Gray under-
went another examination at this Office,. upon various charges
of fraud and swindling. The Office was crowded to excess
with tradesmen to prefer their complaints.—Some fresh evi-
dence was adduced, but in consequence of the absence of some
material witnesses, and one of the Gentlemen belonging to the
house of Messrs. Cox and Creenwood, in Craig's-court,
Charing-cross, the prisoner was again remanded for further
examination.

ATTACKS ON AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.

•
HAt,Eswownt (SuFFoLK), FEI3. Q. —Nonni
Moths ago the farmers hereabouts came to thkresolution not
to use agricultural machinery so long as titre were .agri-
cultural labourers out of employ ; and notice'. to that effect
were stuck upon the Church doors, &c. This promise the
labourers are of opinion has not been kept. Although there ha-
been a considerable advance in the price of almost every article
of farming produce, there are still many agricultural labourers
who cannot get work ; while, on the other hand, there are many
farmers who, notwithstanding remonstrances to the contrary,
continue to use machinery.—lioaday last, for instance, a
draining plough, standing ready. for work in a field belong-
ing to Mr. George Robinson, of Chedistone, near Bales-
worth, was totally destroyed, by being cut to pieces with a
saw in all the principal parts of it ; anti bundles of metric a
were left on the top of the remains of such draining-plough, to
intimate what further mischief "night be expected if the use
of agricultural machinery were persevered in. It was on this
farm that corn-stacks, &c. were fired some months ago. On
Friday last this same gentleman commenced threshing with a
threshing-machine—a piece of machinery, however powerful and
decided may be its merits,that has excited so many heart-hurni ngs
between the farmers and their labourers. As soon as it became
known amongst the labourers that such machinery was at work,
and such news flies fast enough, they collected together on the
following morning to the number of 50 or 60, armed with mat-
cocks,
daxinesa, billdyhooks,icrr.oßwo-bbainrss,onNsioe, to the terror bludgeons, Sec. and then iro-
alarm of the neighbourhood. They immediately took the horses
from the machine. By this time the churchwarden, overseer, and
several respectable inhibitants of Chedistone and eleawilere,
arrived at Mr. Robinson's farm, and they remonstrated freely
and firmly with all the parties—with Mr. It. as well as the men.
They eventually succeeded in persuading the men to depart in a
pea, eful manner; but not till they " loaded up" the machine,
set their shoulders to the wheels, and drove it into the road lead-
ing to Mr. It's house. They did not injure the machine, but
they gave intimation that if it should he permitted to return, its
des ruction would be the consegu nee. The same party of la..
bourers proceeded to the farm of Mr. Thomas Bishop, also a
respectable farmer in the same parish, who was performing
some operation upon trefoil, with a machine of horse power,
and they contented themselves with expressing the hope that
Mr. Bishop would abstain from the use of the machine. As
Mr. B. was always understood to have behaved with kindnema.
to the labourers, this forbearance may be accouuted for. He
gave up the use of the machine.

FATAL AFFRAYS IN IRELAND.

CLONMEL, FEB. 7.—About ten o'clock on
Thursday night, a most unfortunate occurrence
took place at Sinone, about three miles beyond
Cashel, in the direction of Thurles. Two Police
Constables were returning from Cashel, in com-
pany with two or three people on a car. While
passing the house of a man of the name of Michael
Myers (a tenant of Mr. Mansergh) a fusil or pistol
fell from the car, and the charge exploded. Two
young lads, sons of the above named M.Myers, who,
with their father, were at supper, on hearing the
report of arms, started up and ran to the door.
The people in the car, who, it is said, were
for the most part in liquor, were much alarmed at
the. explosion—and conceivinz an attack had been
made on them, a woman on the road cried out,
pointing to the lads at the daor of Myers's house,
" there are the fellows who tired the shot One
or both of the Police-men immediately fired on
these youths, when ono of the latter is wounded
in the body, and the other shot through the
heart,and is killed. Some reports say that but one
shot was fired, and that shot killed the one and
wounded the other.—On 'Tuesday evening, as a
party of BailiZ were destraining for Tithes oil
part of the parish of Knockeratfon between
Caller and Cashel, while driving a way.some stock,
they were attacked by a body of thepeasantry at
Ballygarrald, on whom they were obliged to fire
in their own defence—when, we understand, a
man of the name of booby was shot through the
body ; another, of the name of Costigan, was also
severely wounded—and a man named Gorman
had his upper lip and two of his teeth carried
away by a ball.

CONSISTORY COURT, FEB. 13.

The Court was occupied all day in hearing objections to ex-
ceptive allegations, &c., and in hearing an argument in an un-
defined cause of separation and divorce, by reason of adultery
and cruelty, promoted by the wife against the husband. The
Judge deferred sentence ; and no business of any public inte-
est was transacted, excepting that in

THE, JUDGE'S OFFICE, PROMOTED BY BURROWES ♦ND
ADAMS AGAINST THE REV. GEORAE SOMERS CLARKIN, DJ)
Dr. SWABEY and Dr. LUSHINGTON applied for a sentence
of sequestration, as of the rents and profits of the living of
Great Waltham, in Essex, and as against tiv Reverend de-
fendant. Our readers will remember that the Judge's Office
was promoted against this unfortunate gentleman for brawling
in church, for refusing to read prayers, or to allow the bells to
be tolled at the usual hours, and other irregularities. The Court
pronounced the articles, with the exception of three of them, to
be proved, and condemned the doctor in costs. These costs
having been taxed at 2351. ils. 9d., the Court had decreed its
monition, on a former day; which monition was subsequently
served upon Dr. Clarke personally. But he having refused to
comply with the terms of the process (the Learned Counsel ob-
served), and the gentleman who had been appointed with a cer-
tain stipend, by the Bishop of London, as officiating curate for
the service of the cure during the continuance of Dr. Clarke's
suspension, not having been paid six months' duty, the Court
was now prayed to issue a sequestration, directed to the church-
wardens of Great Waltham. in order to provide for the support
of the officiating minister, •he service of the cure, and payment
of the sutra of 2351. 118. 9d. tax Al costs.

Sir C. ROBINSON IVl3s7lSiled as to the Court's compe-
tency to sequester, upon non-compliance with its monition for
the payment of costs : but it doubted how far the same prin-
ciple would apply as to the service of the church. Dr. Clarke
had been already pronounced in contempt; and had suffered
the assignation to be continued from court-day to court-day.
And though the term of his suspension was near expiring, the
Court felt no doubt that it might continue that suspension on
account of the unpaid costs. But could it continue to suspend
for the unperformed service of the church ?
Dr. LUSIIINGTON argued at some length that Dr. Clarke,
being an ecclesiastical person, could be so proceeded against in
both cases.

The COURT said it would take time to consider its opinion.

Cuaious Disco VERY.--In a wood near Battle,
a singular discovery was made last week. In excavating the
ground to drain a swamp, about three feet from the surface,
an arched vault was found, about ninety feet in length, three
feet and a half in width, and in depth six feet six inches. It
was full of water when discovered, but that hes been drawn off.
It is paved with flag stone, and is supposed to be of some anti-
quity. Many persons at this place have expressed a determi-
nation of shortly visiting the spot ;,,it is likely, therefore, that a
few more particulars relative to it may reach us at no very
distant day.

ACCIDENT IN DRURY LANE.

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]
In addition to what we stated yesterday, we
now add, that • only some cross polls had been
put up instead of shores ; that the district sur-
eyor had been expressly sent for by Mr. BitAGas,
who declared the premises perfectly safe ; that
in digging the foundation to erect the two
new houses, that of Mr. 13e.AGG6 had been
undermined. The inmates in the house at
the time were the wife and one child of Mr.
GILES', a poor woman in a far advanced state
of pregnancy and her child ; the wife of
Mr. BRAGGS who had only the instant before
been called down stairs, and Mr. 13anacs
and the men in the bakehouse. Mrs. GILEs had
only time to seize her infant, who was playing at
the drawers, which are now in the ruins, and
crawl out while the wall and the greater part
of the flooring was going down. The other
unfortunate woman was extricated by seine
firemen, who were passing. Mr. and Mrs.
BKAGGs and their servants had only time to run
out on hearing the crash. The loss of Mr.
GILES is very great. He was insured from tire
for 1001., which would not cover his loss, he
having been able only to save a very trifling por-
tion of property. In fact, theloss to all must he
great, but to him particularly. The workmen
were the whole of the morning employed iii
clearing away the rubbish.

The melancholy event of the Ml of the house
in Drury-lane, though happily no lives were
lost on the occasion, has involved many individuals
in great distress by the loss of their furniture,
and many other articles not only of mere Con-
venience to them, but of great value. One of
the sufferers is Mr. GILES, a Compositor belong-
ing to this Paper, a very industrious and respeik
able man, w ho has a wife and three children, now
reduced to great distress. We hope that a liberal
subscription will be opened for the• relief of
this industrious man and his family, as well as
for all other sufferers by the sudden and calami-
tous event.
