COWUS, Jett. 10.
WANTON DESTRUCTION OF PROFEWIT AT NORTH-
WOOD HOUSE.—On Saturday morning last a number
of rare and valuable shrubs in the front of Northwood
House, West Cowes, were wantonly destroyed, •and
also some beautiful rases and ornamental figures.
The miscreants did a deal of other damage. A num-
ber of workmen have been discharged since the
present Mr. Ward came to the estate, and it was
feared that this damage must be done by some of
them, as the most valuable articles were selected. On
Tuesday, three lads, strangers to the premises, were
taken before Captain Ffarington, R.N., one of the
county magistrates, but though they were sworn to
have been seen on the premises at about two, A.M. as.
the damage was done about three, A.m., still there
was not evidence enough against them to commit
them, and the further hearing was adjourned till Sa-
turday next.
The billy-boy, Francis of Hartlepool, Swan,
master, from Alderney, with returned cement and
empty casks, to discharge, arrived at this port on
Friday last. About ten, r.rr , on Tuesday, the boy
and mate on board, she took fire in the forecastle, and
on discovery every means at hand were used to ex-
tinguiih the same, but to no purpose: the vessel was
scuttled, ard at two, r N., the fire became extin-
guished, having burnt the whole of the spare sails and
rigging and the under part of the decks, which will
have to be shifted.

a Bill for the more effectual suppression of brothels has
been prepared, trod r the dim etion of the Committee of
the Associate Institution, and that arrangements are in
progress for its being submitted to Parliament early in
