DUNCII U RCH.—INC EN DIARISM.—On the evening
of Wednesday, the 22d ult., a most atrocious attempt
was made to burn the corn and other ricks of Mr. W.
Blick, of the Dun Cow Inn, and of Mr. J. Gil-
lingham, of Tuft, in the same parish. In Mr.
Buick's rick-yard were standing four large stacks of
wheat and ot!-!er grain, in one straight line, also
ricks of bay, &c. About a quarter before nine o'clock
at night, it was discovered that one of the middle ricks
of wheat was on fire ; an alarm was immediately
given, and it being so early in the night, a large num-
ber of the inhabitants speedily assembled. and by their
united and vigorous exertions, the flames, which had
done but little damage. were in a short time subdued,
and the danger of further mischief removed. But
whilst all were uniting their energies to stop the progress
of the fire, an alarm reached them that a wheat-stack of
Mr. Billingham, of Toft, was on fire. Very providentially,
but little loss was sustained in either case. On the Friday
Blowing, it was discovered that an atteml.t had been
made to burn a wheat-rick of Mr. W. Lawrence, of
Thurlaston, in the same parish. A small hole was burnt
in the rick, but (as it is supposed) before the flame was
sufficiently strong to extend without fuel, the Lucifer
matches, which had been thrust into the rick, fell out, as
several were found upon the ground underneath the
burnt hole in the rick. Rewards are offered in each case
for the discovery of the author of these diabolical acts.—

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT DONNYBROOK.— On
Monday morning the house of Captain Orson, late of
the East India Company, residing at Donnybrook, was
discovered to be on fire, and notwithstanding every
effort to extinguish them, the flames enveloped the en-
tire house, which was soon reduced to ashes. At four
o'clock in the day some workmen discovered the muti-
lated remains of four human bodies, supposed to be
those of Captain Orson, his wife and two children.
Captain Orson was reported to have been in great
pecuniary embarrassment, and he is rumoured to
have said, a few days ago, that he had rather
set tire to his house, and die in the ruins, than
permit his furniture to be seized for debt. Another
singular circumstance is, that he gave his servant leave
to go out on Sunday evening, but charged her not to re-
turn till Monday morning, when she should receive her
wages; and it is also worthy of remark, that the bolts
of all the door-locks appear to have been shot. A walk-
ing-stick, with a silver top, and two silk umbrellas, which
have been fully identified as Captain Orson's property,
were found by the constable in front of the outer gate.
Captain Orson was a tall, powerful man, nearly six feet
in stature, and is said to have been remarkable for his
excitable temper. He was seldom seen out, owing, it is
said, to his pecuniary embarrassments. The deceased
was an Englishman.—Pilot.
PrnoTs.—ln consequence of a correspondence
between the Earl of Morley, Chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce of this port, and the authorities at the
Trinity House, two of the Elder Brethren, Captain
Wheeler and Captain Bax, visited Plymouth last week,
for the purpose of examining the pilots. They were as.
sisted by the local Sub-Commissioners, Mr. W. Walker,
Queen

Jones,, Ai n
Collector of her Majesty'sW. Cuming, Lloyd's Sur-
veyor,Customs. The Elder Brethren expressed themselves
satisfied with the general appearance and qualification of
the pilots, two or three of whom are to be superannuated,
through age and deficiency of vision. The pilots have
sent in an application for an increase of pilotage from the
Channel to the harbour of Plymouth Sound, and for a
modification of the rates when bringing vessels in the
second time.--Plymouth Journal,
