MISCFALANZOVII.

The gentlemen cadets barracks at Woolwich, were
entered on Monday evening, between the hours of five and
seven o'clock, while the cadets were at their studies, and
property, it is said, to the amount of from 301. to 401.
carried away.
The total number of persons killed by the falling of
the cotton-mill at Oldham, is now ascertained to be
twenty. Most of the persons killed are very old servants
of the firm, some of them having been in their employ
thirty years; indeed, the Messrs. Radcliffe have always
been considered humane men and good masters, and
have ever contributed to the comforts of their work-
people as far as circumstances would admit.
About 150 gentlemen dined together at Radley's
Hotel, to celebrate the acquittal of Hardy, Tooke, and
Thelwall. " Lord Denman" was the favourite toast of
the evening.
The Royal Exchange will not be opened for public
business until after Christmas.
Mr. Erle, the new Judge of the Common Pleas, will
be sworn into office on Friday next, after having been
made a Sergeant-at-Law, according to custom.
On Friday, about five minutes past three o'clock, a
stalk, 240 feet in height, situated at the north-west cor-
ner of the works at St. Rollox, and immediately adjoin-
ing the Glasgow and Garnkirk Railway depot, gave way
at the foundation, and in an instant almost not one brick
was left upon another. This stalk was only finished a
few weeks ago, and about the same time it was disco-
vered that its base was not secure.

ALLEGED MURDER BY A BOY.—Evan Lloyd, a
boy, aged about nine years, has been committed to Car-
marthen county gaol, charged, on the oaths of John
Jones, Blaenwayn, Llanfihangel- ar-arth, and others, with
having, on the 13th of September last, at Coedlanney,
feloniously, wilfully, and with malice aforethought,
killed and murdered one Daniel Jones, a little boy,
aged about seven years, by inflicting divers blows on the
right side of his head, with a stone, and thereby giving
him a mortal wound. The poor deceased child, it ap-
pears, had been out walking with the prisoner, who
arrived home by himself. As deceased did not make his
appearance, search was made for him, and he was found
lying on a heap of stones, by the road side, weltering in
his blood. Many of the stones were covered with
clotted blood and tufts of the poor child's hair.
He had just strength left to state who his assailant was,
when death overtook him. An inquest was held on the
body, when, although the facts of the matter were well
known to all, the jury returned as their verdict that the
deceased had died, but from what cause, and by whose
means, they bad no evidence to determine. Notwith-
standing this verdict, the prisoner was apprehended, and
after an examination before John Lloyd Davies, and
John Lloyd Price, Esqs., was committed for trial at the
assizes. He is an artful little fellow although so young,
and immediately on hearing that he was fully committed,
he pretended to be very ill and lame. On his arrival at
the county gaol, however, the surgeon was sent for to
examine him, and he declared that the supposed illness
was all a pretence—doubtless put on to gain commis-
seration.— Welshman.
NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, MONDAY, Nov. 4.—

THE STATE OF THE STREETS.—Yesterday at the
Court of Commissioners of Sewers (the Lord Mayor
elect in the chair), a member of the Court called atten-
tion to a paragraph which appeared in a daily paper of
Monday relative to the disgraceful state of the streets
between Temple-bar and Cornhill. A commissioner re-
marked that he had read the paragraph in question, but,
if he recollected right, it was copied from a weekly
journal. The Lord Mayor elect said, he was perfectly
satisfied that the statement was wrong, but the matter
could be easily settled by calling in the inspectors. The
four inspectors said, that the contractors of the different
divisions had caused the various places, according to the
terms of the contracts, to be cleansed on the days fixed
upon by the commissioners. Certainly Fleet-street,
Ludgate-hill, Cheapside, and that line, was not so clean
as could be wished, and which arose from the circum-
stance of laying down gravel on the whole line on the
Queen's visit. A heavy rain followed, which imbedded
the gravel between the stones and the grooves in the
wood pavement, which no description of broom could
sweep out ; the consequence was, the subsequent rains
would bring up the deposit and thus render those great
thoroughfares, in appearance, to be in a state of neglect.
When rain fell, it in general took from ten days to a
fortnight before the streets could be thoroughly cleansed.
The inspectors were then directed to see that the men
employed by the contractors to cleanse the streets used
every exertion in their power to get rid of the mud and
deposit so accumulated.
DARING RoßßEßY.—Sunday evening, between five
and six o'clock, cne of a gang of robbers, who have in-
fested the locality for some time past, entered the shop
of Mr. Woolf, a wholesale tobacconist in Drury•lane,
and stole several boxes of cigars, amounting to 64 worth,
with which the thief decamped. The tobacconist, sit-
ting in his parlour, observed the thief, and instantly pur-
sued him up Drury-lane, crying out, " Stop thief," when
the fellow fell over a costermonger's basket that was on
the pavement, dropping the boxes of cigars, which were
recovered ; the thief, however, escaping.
EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.—A small wager was made
on Tuesday last, between Mr. Herbert, of Muckross,
and Mr. T. W. Murphy, of Killarney, that Mr. Herbert
would not undress himself while riding with his horse
galloping ; but Mr. Herbert took off his boots, trousers,
and coat while the horse was in full gallop, and having
won his wager, gave it to the poor.— Tralee Chronicle.
