INCENDIARY FIRE.

Dr. Swaine said that it was possible there might
be a relationship, as all the oldest and best families
of Saxony were more or less connected.
Count de Witts, chamberlain to the Duke of Bruns-
wick, confirmed the prisoner's statement as to his re-
spectability, and said he believed that he was in the
expectation of receiving money from abroad ; but he
emphatic: :Dy denied that any portion of the property
ordered by the prisoner had been sent to his (Count
de Witt's) house.
After some conversation,
Mr. HAunwircx considered that, as far as the ques-
tion of respectability mas conserned, the prisoner had
satisfactorily established his claim to be considered the
person whom he rCnresented himself to be ; there only
then remained the" ii„:.,stion of obtaining the 2/. from
Mr. Deneulain, for the ch:e of Mr. Nichol, and simi-
lar cases were to he left qii,:e out of consideration,
they being nothing more than debts, as the cheques

Hvrcifitc, lISIMOR/7811IRE, Nov. U.—An alarm-
ing fire broke out last night, about nine o'clock, at
the farm called Lilley Hoo, situate about midway be-
tween this town and Luton, in Bedfordshire, and a
few miles only distant from the locality of the destruc-
tive fires which occurred in the latter county some
months ago. The house being a substantial brick
building, fortunately escaped destruction, although at
one period serious apprehensions were entertained for
its safety, inasmuch as the window sashes and sash
frames literally caught fire from the extreme heat
emitted from the contiguous burning buildings, which
led the persons assembled to move the furniture out
of the house, and much of it was broken and other-
wise damaged. The farm-buildings, principally
thatched, forming a quadrangle in front of the house,
were wholly destroyed, notwithstanding the strenuous
exertions of many highly respectable gentlemen and
farmers living in the neighbourhood, assisted by the
labouring population, who, with some exceptions, be-
haved in a most praiseworthy manner. Their exer-
tions, however, failed, except to save the house, as the
fire was so fierce, assisted as it was by a high wind
from the north-east, that to rescue the buildings or
save the stock (consisting of a large quantity of wheat,
barley, hay, and straw), was quite out of the ques-
tion. We are happy, however, to say that the horses
and live stock were not consumed, owing to the pre-
sence
of mind of the farm bailiff or servant, who im-
mediately on being called from his bed, whither he had
retired about twenty minutes, flew to the stables and
sheds, and drove the horses and other live stock
away from the premises. The house was in
the occupation of some young ladies of the name of
Bates, and there was at the time no male inmate ex-
cept the farm bailiff. The fire is supposed to have
been the act of some vile cowardly incendiary, who
watched the reflection of the light from the window
of the bailiff's room, and soon after his candle was
extinguished, and when it might be presumed the
man had fallen asleep, set fire to some fresh thrashed
barley straw, which had been deposited in the pig-
geries at the back of one of the barns, and outside the
premises, for the purpose of being kept dry, and
where it could not be necessary to take a light for
any lawful purpose whatever. The wind blew
atrongly from the point where the straw was deposited,
and wafted the flames across the yard, and so com-
municated them to the stables, coach-houses, cattle
and eart sheds, which were soon reduced to a mass
of smouldering ruins. The Luton, Hitchin, and
Offley engines were socrn on the spot, and did all that
could be done under the very able assistance of Mr.
Phillips and Mr. Newton, but the flames were so
rapid in their course as to have effected the principal
work of destruction before the arrival of the engines.
The property belonging to Mr. Bates, And we believe
the buildings and stock, are insured in the County
Fire-office; but we fear from what we heard that the
insurance will fall far short of the loss sustained.
Very fortunately the rick-yard, containing several
valuable hay and corn stacks, was situated at some
distance from the premises, and luckily the wind blew
from the direction in which they stood, and from that
circumstance they were saved from the devouring
flames.

UNCERTAINTY ♦S TO SUICIDE DY POISON.—An
inquest ws held, late on Tuesday evening, before Mr.
Joseph Payne, on the body of Mr. L. D. Nind. Mr.
Mason, surgeon, said he was called in on Sunday night
to attend to the deceased, but found him quite dead.
Upon entering the house there was a strong odour of
bitter almonds, which increased as he entered the de-
ceased's bedroom. Froth was also issuing from his
mouth, from which circumstances he conjectured death
had been caused by taking prussic acid. Had since
made a post mortem examination of the body, assisted by
Dr. Monck, at St. Thomas's llospital. Upon analysing
the contents of the stomach, a quantity of undigested
bitter almonds was found. One-twentieth part of the
contents was then subjected to further test, the result of
which was the extraction of a quantity of prussic acid,
which he produced in a phial. The quantity found was
sufficient to cause death. He could not undertake to say
whether the prusssic acid was taken in a liquid state, or
whether produced by the quantity of bitter almonds
eaten by the deceased. There was a case on record in
which a person swallowed prussic acid, and then ate a
quantity of almonds to lull suspicion of his having com-
mitted suicide. Analysing the remainder of the contents
of the stomach might perhaps prove whether the quan
tity of almonds in the stomach would produce so much
acid. The coroner having remarked upon the myste-
rious nature of the case, the inquiry was adjourned, in
the hope of obtaining further evidence, and for the
examination of the remainder of the stomach.
SERIOITS ACCIDENT.—Yesterday, between nine
and ten o'clock, Win. Parry, one of the workmen em-
ployed at the new Houses of Parliament, was brought
into Westminster Hospital in a dreadfully injured state,
from having, while at h►s employment, fallen from off a
qffold about thirty feet from the ground. The unfor-
•nan was found to have sustained a fracture of the
nd dislocation of several of his ribs. He is
in 6 Tery precs,rious state.

ALFITATION OF THE HEART.—Palpitation P
Toning after lengthened intervals, and from the operal
of the mare obvious and powerful causes, is disregard
and considered as a natural effect, and requiring po
special attention. After a time, however, the rein.° 60
more frequent, more readily induced, and by much lebi
powerful causes. The more frequent recurrence of t 6,
attacks excite more attention, and the patient's own 'Dire
gination, as well as the assertions of his friends, ns.s,u;o
him that all his distress proceeds from " too much bue,
the stomach." This view is confirmed by the fact, 1110
probably, there is felt some nausea or a slight sickness
in
the stomach; but a still stronger confirmation appear Vibe
the singing or ringing noise constantly perceived bi
patient in the head and ears. Headache, too, altb°,l/;r
often slight, sometimes only occasional, sometimes, P,athe
ever, incessant, are attributed to a bilious state 0'
stomach, or to some irregularity in the biliary functio.7o

A PRACTICAL JOKE.—A friend told US
evenings ago, and, though it was told us in confide° or
we cannot resist the temptation of laying it
readers, let the consequence be what it nti:— •
western part of this city live and flourish two J°
young fellows, who follow sign-painting fora livelihoo ;
and who are sometimes in the habit of cutting up w%
are termed high shines.' It so occurred, a few daY,
ago, that one of the partners had some out-door bus's
ness to attend to, and left the shop in charge of 11/,‘
partner and a little boy, who was employed to gr'll,l
paints. During his absence, the partner remaining el.—,
to work and painted the boy's neck so as to represent 5
large gash, and a cut over the eye. He then took re',
before othe
paint, bespattered it over the floor, and clotted the bc'Y'f,"
hair, and made him lie down in a corner. lie the'
painted a great gash in his own cheek, bared his bosonlf
disordered his dress, dipped a long-bladed knife in tb.:
red paint-pot, and patiently awaited the coming of 13,1.
partner. Directly he heard him at the door the Pe,';
formance commenced. The partner stuck his head in'
the room door; one glance was sufficient; the boy Presi
trated on the floor, with his throat cut, groaning °J
crying ' Murder ;' chairs, tables, benches, jugs,
paint-pots, were strewn around the floor in dire own-
sion, while the murderous partner, with the blood);
looking knife in his uplifted hand, was running.threugo
the room, uttering wild and incoherent expressions. er
was evident to the partner at the door that his part
had killed the boy. The thought was horrid; swift t.
lightning he flew to his father and informed him of ho
circumstance. A number of friends were mustered,
repaired forthwith to the scene of action. The nrSe
augmented as it neared the shop, and in walkedLa

the boy without a mark of any kind, the room in Pe,;
feet order, no mark of blood perceptible, and the part
engaged in lettering a sign, aad utter ignorance of 1114
transaction of the kind avowed both by- him and ta
boy, to the other partner's great mortification. 132-„:
