Information being received by Sir RICDAR
FORD; on Sunday, that a man !ed been shot in
Major Mußcor's garden, in Kensington-gore, on,
Saturday night, he gave 'direaions to Bacon, the
Captain of the Parrole for that Distfift, to make.
inquiries respeCting the circumstance; when it alt...
peared, that on Thursday night the copper and lead
belonging to Major Meta cor's house., had bee 4.4,
stolen therein ; and on -Friday, when some men
were turning over a dung-heap, they found the cop_.
per and lead 'concealed, supposed to be for thc•
purpose' of carrying them o at a convenient op.
portunity ; in consequence of which, two mea
were appointed to watch the dung.heap, which
they accordingly did. On Friday night nothing-
particular happened. On Saturday' night two rozri
came and attempted to take away the copper and the
• lead, and in the scuffle with the two men who were
sitting up to secure them, one of them was shp;-
The man who did the fatal deed was taken into cus.
tody. His name is Miniel Done; Viz. Yesterday he
underwent an examination beforo Sir R. Foal), and
the account he gave was, that he, in company with
another man, were engaged to watch on Saturday.
night ; that they were armed with pistols ; and
that they stationed themselves in the wood_bouse„
About half-past eight o'clock on Saturday night,
two men cause into the yard, and proCeeded to take
out the lead. He then went between them and the
gate, intendit, to drive them into the yi',l-d; and'
•
there, to apprehend them, desir og them to surrender.
The smallest wits armed with a drawn sword; the,
deceased said to the other Man, ''Go round him,'"
and cut .his head " The deceased •accordingly.
made a cut at him, but which missed him by Ilk
slipping on one side ; the other man threw a brick-,
hat at him, which hit him on the breast : *several.
more were thrown at him, which missed hiM. At'
this time the deceased was closing with him,. and.
he then fired a pistol at him, after which the de., •
ceased moved ,about twenty or yards,-. 'a-113

He was discharged, it appearing that he had ac ed

Strange Circumstance.—For some time back, the
small_pox, at-Bolton.de2Nloors,.has been remarkably
fatal, and great numbers of children have died there.
of; a family in Spring Gardens, in that town, hav-
ing a child dead of the same, about a cottniglq ago)
on the day of interment, the parents, with Fort.
attendants, went to the Old Church, with the body
of their infant, as they thought, and all due cere...
many was performed ; after which, on their return
home, the utmost surprise was occasioned by oer-
ceiving that the dead body was 'still upon the bed,,,
and an empty coffin had been interred: an applica-
tion was made to the clergymm concerning the same,
but he would not suffer it to be taken up,- and they
had the consolation to be obliged to purchase a fresh
coffin and pay extra dues, for an inattention that
we should have utterly discredited unless warranted
to us on good authority.---Blackburn Mail.
A melancholy accident happened at Deal on
Thursday last :—A daughter of Capt. WEST EAC H,
of the Navy, about nine or ten years of age, being
on a visit at Mr. How si,n's (her Grat4lather),
was left alone in a room .where there was a file,
and it is supposed when endeavouring to blew it, a
spark flew on her, which set her clothes in a blaze.
She ran screaming into the yard, when the servant
maid, on seeing the child on fire, ran' to the pump
for water, and poured it all over her, which extin-
guished the fire, but the child being so dreadfully
burnt, lingered until next day in great agony, when
she expired.
A singular phenomenon has lately been witnessea
in the Canton of Vaud, in Switzerland. Several
Foxes, in-A state of madness, have approached, irt
mid-day, the dwellings of the inhabitants, and fu-
riously attacked both men and beasts. &nue of them
have been hunted and taken, and on their being
disseFled the organs of digestion were found to be
much inflamed, and in one the teeth were black and
carious. In .consequence of these circumstances,
some dogs have been shut up, with a cock, which was
bitten by one of these !Foxes in a•state of madness,
in order to ascertain whether the disorder affeding
these animals is the canine hydrophobia.
A melancholy accident lately spread desolation
amongst the inhabitants of Cervo, a Commune si-
tuate in the Genoese .territories. A large portion
of finely cultivated land, on the side of a mountain,
being loosened by a heavy fall of rain, suddenly se-
parated from the mountain and was carried by the
torrent to the sea, where the greatest part of it was
swallowed up, together with a vast number of olive
trees and vines. Many of the inhabitants have been
in consequence ruined, wbilf.t their d.vellings are
equally menaced with destruaion from the conse.
quences of the accident.
Wednesday seirmight, a dreadful fire broke Olt
in the Spinning Factory of Mr. Witlenbury, at
Stockport, which. as totally consumed in
wfore the
flames could be ex*guitecl.

• On Saturday a genteel young wfiman; the (laugh.,
terof an eminent tradesman in the New Road, Mary_
lelbonne, was brought to the Public Office, Marlbo-
rougl-- street, on a charge of having been an accom-
plice to a man of genteel appearance also,in swindling
a hatter and hosier, of Oxford-street, out of 1 Z pair
of stockings, of the price of 6s. 6d. each, a beaver
hat for the lady, and a hat for the-gentleman. The
man first walked into the shop, ordered a hat for
himself, to be sent to J. A. Edwards, No. 5 t, Baker-
street,
New-Road. The hat was sent home, and the
house having an elegant appearance, the servant left..
it. Next day the man.came with the lady in a glass
coach, examined a variety of articles, and chose
those already mentioned, which they took with them
in the coach, saying, that if the bill was.sent accord-
ing to the direction already given, would he.dis—
. appointed,
the The bill being sent at the time appointed,
the person who carried it was told that the house had
been let furnished to .the person he inquired for, but
that heliad then quitted the house, and that several
persons on similar business had been iriquiring for
him. It was added, however, that he and his lady,
who is now a prisoner, h:ad been observed to visit At
a house, which was clescrihtd, in. .;.ast_street. The
person who.carried the bill happened to have. an ac-
quaintance living in that street, to whom he went
first to make_ same inquiries as to the respeflability
of the person. His friend immediately said, "are you
looking after some Swindlers ?" Upon which the
-person related all the circumstances of the case. He
was then told that the young woman was there.—
Accordingly she was found there, but the man was
not to be met with,-neither had she any of the pro-
perty. She said that .she had lived with him, but
was totally unacquainted with anything that could
lead ro where he might be met with,' and 'it ap-
peared also, that the wife of the man, contrary to,
the general feeling nr praetice of women, had afted
as servant to her husband and the lady. LAs a great'
number of other tradesmen had been taken it in the
same way, the most•diligent search has been made
after the man, but hitherto without success. The
Prisoner was remanded for further examination.

Joseph Gecd, Joseph' Miller, and Joseph Oiland,
were put to the Bar, under a commitment, " as be-
ing found in a public street with intent to commit
felony, and-not being able to give a satisfadory ac-
count of themselves and way of living."
. W. Collinghourn, an Officer of P.lice at Union
Hall, deposed, that repeated • informations having
come to the Office, that a desperate gang of thieves
so infested the avenues leading to and from the Me-
tropolis, that it was hazardous to remove any arti-
cle in a cart, or other carriage, in the, dusk of the
evening, he and his partner paid a stria attention to
the High and Blackman Streets...in the _Borough,
and, on the ztst of December,. in the evening,
,he
perceived three nien, (the 'PriSbr;eis) a followii!er the.

them, and knoWing them to be repiitcd thieves, he
took them into ctistedy.
