SINGULAR HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN DERBYSHIRE.
—As Mr. John Frost, watch and clock repairer, of Crich,
was returning home from Ripley fair on the 23d ult.,
and when near the Old Brewery, Ripley, he was attacked
by four men, two of whom " bluffed" him with a hand-
kerchief, and held his arms backwards, whilst the other
two rifled his pockets. They took from him his watch,
and a few shillings in silver, and instantly disappeared.
What makes the circumstance more singular is, that, on
his recovering himself from the fright which the attack
naturally caused, and when abont proceeding on the
road, one of the robbers returned to him, and asked him
if he had not been robbed. Mr. Frost answering in the
affirmative, the robber held the watch up to his face, and
asked him if that was his watch; be replied it was, and
that he should like to have it back, as it was a family
watch. The robber then inquired of him if he bad any
more money; he replied "not that he knew of," sup-

A LOVER PUNISHED.—The village of Harewood
was nearly " frightened from its propriety" a few even-
ings ago, by a messenger from Weeton, " bloody e ith
spurring—fiery red with haste," bearing the news that
"Jack had puzzand hissen, and was ommost deed,
and t'doctor was to gan away directly." Away went
the doctor, and found Jack apparently suffering from the
effects of some poison which he said he had taken. The
medical man proceeded to apply the stomach-pump, but
Jack resisted this, and declared he only wanted to die in
peace. The doctor, however, was not to be put off in
this way, but mustered assistance, and, " will ye, nill
ye," deluged the luckless wight with water, and emptied
his stomach, in the hope of removing the poison. Now,
as this was a proceeding the youth had not contemplated,
and by no means agreeable, as soon as he got his mouth
to himself, he confessed that he had taken nothing, but
had been "shamming," in the hope of inducing a young
lady to listen to his suit, but she declined the honour,
and was on the eve of her marriage with a most respect.
able person in the next village. Of course, the disap-
pointed lover has now been punished for his rashness,
and will not again report himself to be poisoned.—

A VESSEL ON SHORE.—The Eugene, a French
schooner, Thomas, master, from Nantes to Cardiff, when
off Carmarthen Bay, in consequence of the tempestuous
state of the weather, on Saturday evening last, put into
the port of Llanelly. Not being able to obtain a pilot,
and seeing some other vessels bound in, she made for
them, and succeeded in crossing in safety the Hooper
Sands, amidst the breakers. She followed the vessels
until within a mile or two of a place of safety in the
port, when suddenly a violent squall of wind arose, ac -
couspanied with rain and a thick mist, when she lost
sight of the vessels, and got on shore on the Sker, a
little above Machynis Point, where, we are sorry to say,
she received considerable injury. The cargo, which con-
sists of 70 or 80 tons of potatoes, has been landed._

ARSON IN THE CITY.,—A WAREHOUSE IN BREAD..
STREET WILFULLY FlRED.—Yesterday afternoon Mr.
W. Payne, the City Coroner, resumed at the Gerard's
Hall, Basing-lane, City, the investigation, adjourned
from Saturday week last, into the cause of a fire on the
premises of Mr. Anstey, silk and shawl warehouseman,
No. 60, Bread-street, Ctleapside. From the evidence it
did not appear that there was anything to cause sponta-
neous combustion. The stock was insured in the Royal
Exchange for 1,5001., while the value of that found after
the fire was 6001., Mr. Anstey stating that he had more
goods sometimes than at othere. The jury, atter deli-
berating a short time with closed doors, returned a ver-
dict of " That the fire was wilfally caused by some
person or persons unknown."
THE LATE ACCIDENT IN GLASGOW.—We are gra-
tified to learn that the appeal made on behalf of the un-
fortunate families of those who perished at the fall of
Mr. Wilson's sugar-house has been responded to with
great cheerfulness and liberality, a sum of nearly 3004
having bee❑ already subscribed for this purpose. No-
thing could exceed the philanthropic feeling displayed
by the subscribers to the Royal Exchange when their
subscriptions were solicited for the object.—North British
Daily Mail.
