_Last ,Thursday the meat employed in pulling
down the church of All Saints, Lewes, discovered a
monument that had been long concealed between
a large'Gothic arch and one of the main columns
that supported the edifice. This antique relic was
formed of plaster, in the shape of a coffin, and
hibited a rude' printing of two infants, who had
doubtless been there interred many 'centuries past.
The figures represented were of two different colours,
and tolerably fresh.
On, Wednesday afterpoon, about three o'elock, a
fire broke out in Mr. White's Rope-walk, about half
a mile front Gosport, on the road to Farehatn, and
in a very short time mat part of the building was
in 'blues, which seemedto.threaten the whole with
inuiediate destru6tion, By the arrival of several
engines„ and the very great exertions of the tuba,
binmts, their progress was checked in a few hours,
but not till a considerable portion.of the building,
together with about iJo barrels of tar, a great quan-
tity of hemp end cordage, a rick of hay, Sze.i,ivere
totally consumed. The whole extent of the damage
is estimated at about t,BOOl. The accident was oc-
casioned by the tar-kettle boiling over.

A woman of genteel appearance, and well dressed,
has lately called upon several families in Edinburgh,
and told then' a mournful story, that she is starving,
and wants money to carry her to her husband, who
is an Adjutant in a Iteghnent quartered in dcountry
town in Scotland. She varies her story occasionally,
and has obtained a good deal of money front suchhumane persons as are credulous enough to hellevo
her.
