DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

About eight o'clock on Saturday evening a barn in the
farmyard of Mr. Smith, an extensive farmer, at Northileet-
green, in the parish of Nortbfleet, near Gravesend, was dis-
covered to be on fire, and messengers were at once 'dispatched
to Gravesend and Dartford for the engines. Before they
atTited, however, the wheat-stacks and range of out-offices in
the yard caught fire, and upon the arrival of thesGravesend
engines the whole of premises were inflames. The Dart •
ford engines soon after arrived, and a good supply of water
being at hand, they played with a sufficiency of success to
save the dwelling-house : but the barns, stables, and other
out offices, together with four large stacks 'of wheat, and a
quantity of wheat, partly thrashed and partly unthrsolied,
which had been in the barn in which the fire originated,
were totally consumed. The horses and pigs were for-
tuAstely driven out of their respective houses of shelter
before the fire communicated to them. Mr. Smith
was in Gravesend when the alarm of fire apparently
in the direction of his house was given ; but
until he approached its vicinity he was' not aware of the
calamity that awaited his return home. All that it was
possible to do to preserve the dwelling-house was accom-
plished by the enginemen, assisted by the people of the
neighbourhood; but the fire raged in the farmyazd with a
fury altogether irrepressible by any effort of th,:,se parties,
or by any supply of water, however copiously discharged
upon it by the engines. The destruction of and damage to
property is estimated at 2,000'. The buildings are fully
insured, as is also the stock, the former by the proprietor, Mr.
Brenchley, of Woomble-hall, Nortlifleet, to whom the pre-
mises on the farm, held by Mr. Mace, and which we:.e burnt
down this time twelvemonth, als3 belonged, and the farm
stock by Mr. Smith, the tenant.
About seven minutes past five o'clock or. Sunday morning a
flame was observed by a policeman at the station-house,
Gravesend, to burst through a first floor window of the Black
Horse Tavernosearly opposite the Town-hall, in High-street;
an alarm being immediately given, the inmates of the house
rushed from their respective bed-rooms, some down stairs,
and s me into the large par:our on the first floor. From the
front room in the lower part of the house Mrs. King, the
landlady,-and her daughter were compelled to retreat, and
leave the money and papers which it was their object to pre-
serve, and endeavour to save their lives through ens of the
first floor windows, many of the inmates having already
effected their escape in that way. When they got into the
largo room alluded to, fifteen or sixteen of the lodgers, the
house being full, as it was the fair time, were endeavouring
to get out of the two windows, and Mrs. King leapel out of
one, followed by Miss King and a man named Aldridge. At
this time the flames also burst through the windows, and the
whole house, in an inconceivable short time, was one mass of
flame. By this time the Gravesend engines, which had been at
the fire at Northfleet-green, arrived on the spot, but n 3 water
could be procured fornearly twenty minutes, an interval woich
was occupied in communicating with the superintendent of
the waterworks, and during which the fire extended to the
houses on either side of the Black Horse. The Dartford and
Rochester engines arrived from Northfleet-green, where they
had been detained in a successful attempt to save Mr.
Smith's house, but even when they arrived the water had
not been laid on. However, there was soon a copious supply,
and the efforts of the firemen were directed to the p:evention
of the spread of the fire to the houses adjoining the Black
Horse on either side; but all their efforts were fruitless to
prevent the communication of the fire to the .houses in the
rear of the Black Horse, as well as to those in the alley lead-
ing from High-street to Princes-street, and to the three
houses at each side of the Black Horse and fronting High-
street. The whole of these were one mass of flame, which,
despite the great quantity of water at this time dis-
charged upon it by the fire-engines, was not abated until it
had no more fuel to feed upon. About eight o'clock the
Black Horse Tavern and its extensive stabling and
other appurtenances, together with the house of Mr. Tollis,
butcher; Mr. Smith, grocer; Mr. Hollingdale, draper; Mr.
Harris, bootmaker; and Mr. Hall, China warehousekeeper,
were totally destroyed. To the rear of those fronting
Princes-street, a slaughter-house of Mr. Tollis's and four cc t-
tages belonging to Mr. Hall were also destroyed. The Ca-
therine Wheel Tavern, next to Mr. Smith's house; the party-
wall of which resisted the extension of the fire to the tavern,
was much damaged, as were the houses immediately above
Mr. Hollingdale's. At the time the fire broke out there were,
as Mrs. King states, 26 persons, including lodgers, in the
house. One of them, a man belonging to Mr. Wombwell's
show-booth at the fair, is missing, and supposed to have been
consumed; but at the time of our reporter leaving last even-
ing no search for his remains, if he be destroyed, had been in-
stituted in the ruins. In leaping from the.window Mrs. King
suffered a severe injury, having three of her ribs broken. Mr.
Aldridge was still more severely if not fatally injured in the
back. Miss King was also badly hurt. Mr. King, the landlord
of the Black Horse, was not at home. He is but partially
insured, and his loss, it is said, is little less that ruinous to
him. Neither Mr. Hall nor Mr. Hollingdale is insured in
respect either to stock or houses. Mr. Tollis's house was
fully insured, but his furniture was not, and he barely saved
his account books. In Mr. King's desk was, as our reporter
learned, over 100/. in gold and notes; the latter consumed,
and the former amid the ruins, as are the remains. as is sup-
posed, of at least the showman of Mr. Wombell. Mrs. King
does not appear to be quite sure of the number of lodgers that
night in the house, as many came in from the fair at various
hours of the night up to three o'clock. How the fire origi-
nated is doubtful, but there are strong reasons for believing
that it was in the smoking-room. The policeman states that
when he first discovered it the flame was issuing from a win
dow on the first floor. The loss is variously estimated, but
it would appear to be about 10,000/.

IRELAND.
THE LIMERICK MEETING.

LIMERICK, OCT. 43.—1 t is difficult to know by what name to
designate " the demonstration" which has just terminated. Ori-
ginally it was to have been a banquet to Mr. W. S. O'Brien. Then
It was understood that a meeting—the last of the monsters for the
year—was to be held on the subsequent Thursday; and cut finally
comes a hybrid between a dinner and demonstration. It is said
that the dissensions in the corporation of Limerick, to which Mr.
O'Connell alluded, have, in sonic way or other, influenced the amal.
gamation of both.

Mr. O'Connell entered Itatlikeale, the scene of the banqutt, at
an early hour from Limerick, and was met en route by Mr. W. S.
O'Brien, and escorted with the usual procession through the streets
to the place of meeting.
On the platform,which was erected in the market-place of the
town, were Dr. Gray, Mr. O'Flaherty, of Donoman Castle; Mr.
Hannan, Mr. St. Lawrence, Mr. Ryan, Bruce.lodge; tome country
solicitors, and the usual gathering of Roman Catholic clergymen.
Mr. FERGUSON, harrister.at.law, on taking the chair, informed
the meeting that the objects for which they bad assembled were
to express their gratitude to Mr. O'Brien, and to promote, by the
moral force of their combined opinion, the regeneration of their
country--with that view adopting a petition to Farhat-mint for the
repeal of the union.

The usual resolutions, condemnatory of the Act of Union, having
been duly passed, a vote of confidence in Mr. W. S. O'Brien was
proposed and carried by acclamation.
Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN came forward accordingly, and returned
thanks at length. He regretted that he did not see around him
that day some of the landed gentry of the county, but he had at
least the satisfaction of knowing that the representatives of
industry, intelligence, and of its social and individual worth, were
present.--Cheers.) He was bound to think that the part he had
been permitted to take in public affairs was not wholly useless,
and was also proud for the sake of his constituents that they had
shown themselves to Mr. O'Connell prepared to co-operate with the
hundreds of thousands of Irishmen whom, during the last month,
he (Mr. O'Connell) had beheld pledging themselves, before God
and their country, never to desist from legal exertions to accomplish
ends worthy of freemen and of men devoted to higher than earthly
aims.

Mr. O'CONNELL next rose to return thanks for a similar vote.
Having eulogised Mr. O'Brien " as the most patriotic Member of
the House of Commons—the most valuable member of the Repeal
Association—as true a patriot as ever bore an Irish name and an
Irish heart," he proceeded at much length to insist upon the
necessity of every man's attending the registry for the county. so as
to secure hint without the chance of a struggle as their represen-
tative not only in London, but College-green. His return ought to
he as triumphant as his political services, as magnificent and
majestic as his own exertions for It eland.—(Cheers.) As to himself,
there was small merit in his taking part with the Irish people,
having every sympathy in common with them, kneeling at the
same altar, under the same code of slavery—partaking of the same
servitude ; but Smith O'Brien was of a nobler stock, belonging to a
higher class, born with higher prospects, with prejudices and in-
terests contradictory to those of the people. A decided Catholic
emancipator, he thought, on his entrance into public life that the
Imperial Parliament was sufficient to legislate for Ireland, but
trying the experiment, he found he could not induce them to give
him even a committee of inquiry into a case of the most awful lm.
portance which his talent, industry, and researches enabled him to
bring before them.—(Hear, hear.) Then did he reject all his
former notions, and manfully and bravely determine to stand by
his countrymen, and insist upon their right to a domestic Legisla-
ture. Repeal was "as certain as the rising of to-morrow's sun."
He called on them again to send in a id. a week, Id. a month, Is.
a year (and four weeks for nothing) to the Repeal Association,
and warned them against secret societies, alluded to the declara-
tion of Sir James Graham, and its abandonment, and wound up
by saying that formerly he had had only a party at his back, but
that a nation was now springing up around him, and that liberty
should smile upon Ireland and her Parliament in College-green.
Dr. GRAY having addressed the meeting, it peaceably dispersed.
THE DINNER

was given in the Temperance.hall. Among the company wire
many Roman Catholic priests. At the principal table were the
Rev. D. Synan, Roman Catholic curate of Rathkeale; the princi-
pal guest, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, M.P.; the Rev. Mr. Coll (Roman
Catholic Dean, the highest dignitary of that body present); Mr.
C. Powell, M.P., Mr. J. Kelley, M.P., Mr. O'Connell, Rev. Mr.
Fitzgerald (Roman Catholic Archdeacon), Mr. J. O'Brien, M.P.,
and some of the Limerick corporation in their robes. There was
the usual sprinkling of the 'B2 Club uniform.
The Rev. hfr. SYNAN, as chairman (on the conclusion of
dinner), in proposing the health of "The Queen," said that the
people of Ireland knew they had a sovereign anxious to redress the
grievances of her subjects, but the royal cup of mercy and justice
was made an acrid drug by administrative quackery.
After some further toasts,
The Cnstemax proposed the health of Mr. O'Brien. He was
a proud man for Ireland—a prouder man for Limerick—proudest
of all for Rathkeale. He was endeared to the Roman Catholic
clergy, for he always spoke well of them, and protected them when
calumniated.—(Cheers.)

I ' Mr. W. S. O'BuiEre responded to the toast. Perceiving that
from the English Legislature no hope of good government was to
bra obtained, he became a repealer—(Cheers)—and he was glad to
think he had been able to do something to sustain the cause.—
(Hear, hear, and great cheering.) Where were the labours
of the Conservative party ? He challenged them to show him their
fruits,—(Cheers.) The Whigs were no longer a party—they were
merely a few respectable individuals, possessing no force apart from
being so, and only considered so by themselves and the people of
England. The repeal Members did not, it was true, possess the
power of making laws, but they exposed abuses and suggested re.
mcdies- At the risk of imprisonment, he had told the British Par-
liament that he considered his time misapplied there, au' that he
would not be coerced in attendance which he did not consider for
the good of his constituents.—(Cheers.) He thought that the men
who presented themselves at the next election should be pre.
pared to attend Conciliation-hall, or St. Stephen's, to track the
enemy, as the interests of Ireland require it.—(Cheers.) Having
Insisted on the necessity of union—the inevitable success of repeal—
he proceeded to contend that Protestants would reap equal advan-
tages with the Catholics from that consummation, and concluded
(amid much applause) by assuring those who were instrumental in
obtaining it that posterity would bless them for it hereafter.
Mr. O'CoNsraar. returned thanks for his health in connexion
with repeal of the union; and, having expressed his delight at the
meeting, launched out into a high flow of eulogy on the character,
conduct, and talents of Mr. O'Brien, whom he styled the main-
spring of repeal. He addressed tt e people of England from that
spot, and told them that the Crown was a mockery and delusion,
and that the entire power of the State was in the hands of the
Minister. The repeal of the union would countercheck and divide
that power, and the Queen could govern the balance. So repeal
was, In fact, a royalist cry. It was also the cry for Irish hap-
piness.—(Cheers.) As yet their only argument had been :he
soft end of the cudgel.—(Cheers and laughter.) Proceeding in a
tone of admonition to warn the meeting against the miseries pre.
duced by Internal strife at every epoch of Irish history, the Learnod
Gentleman went on to repudiate, in strong terms, the idea that he or
his party sought for Roman Catholic ascendancy, appealing to Mr.
O'Brien as a witness of its absurdity. He (Mr. O'Brien) watt a
Protestant, but he believed the Pope himself would not have a
chance against him for the county.—(Loud laughter.) It was
said that popular favour was fleeting. He ( Mr. O'Connell) had
been popular for 45 years ; S. O'Brien would be popular for a
longer period.—(Cheers.) No 1 the people of Ireland were true—

never did a nation so emphatically deserve the name.—(Cheers.)
S. O'Brien's career was e3mmencing as his (Mr. O'Connell's) was
about to close, and he thanked God be would have such a successor.
Mr. W. S. O'Batior proposed the health of the Chairman, which
was followed by that of "The Hierarchy and Clergy of Ireland,"
for which

The Roman Catholic Dean Cott returned thanks.
After some ftirther toasts—" The County and City Members,"
" The Martyrs,* "The 'B2 Club," &c.—the principal guests de.
parted, and the company broke up at 12 o'clock.

THE CORN-LAWS AND FREE
TRADE.
CHRONICLE.—Among the numerous weapons with which Sir
Robert Peel will be able to combat the objections of the refractory
portion of the Cabinet, who object to a suspension of the corn-laws
and the free introduction of grain, will be the recent dispatches
from our Minister at 'Washington. Those dispatches cannot fail to
inform our Government of the present singularly favourable combi.
nation of circumstances in the United States, all tending to secure
a new tariff highly favourable to the trade of this country, if any
disposition is shown on our part to receive their produce in return.
Mr. Walker, the Secretary to the Treasury, who is at this time in-
defatigably occupied in procuring information on which he will be
We to frame a proposal for a new tariff, cannot have omitted to
explain to Mr. Pakenham the chief difficulty with which he has tai
contend ; and that difficulty being one in which England alone is
concerned, our Minister can hardly have failed to represent it to
his Governsnent here. Coming at so opportlne a season as such
expostulations trust now do, the fair inference is that Sir
Robert Peel will use them in order to show hew much we
hazard by persevering in a policy at once inconsistent with our OWI6
internal and domestic interests, and destructive to our foreign
trade. Mr. Polk, and the members of his Cabinet, have en many
occasions openly avowed their opinions in behalf of free.trade, and
of a tariff framed only upon considerations of revenue. But the
protective system in America has already brought into existence a
powerful party, whose interests are bound up with a high tariff.
It is no matter of surprise to find that the wealthy and influential
corporations of manufacturers, which have been called into exist-
ence and fostered by extravagant import duties, should cling with
tenacity to a tariff which, in many important articles, gives them
the undisputed command of their home market, and enables them
to exact enormous prices from the consumer. But it ought to
stagger an English Cabinet in Downing-street, when their
own- Minister informs them that these parties are supported in their
exactions by those who most suffer from them. It way excite no
wonder to find the manufacturer in New England using the whole
of his influence to defeat Mr. Polk in his contemplated reduction
of the tariff; but when it appears that the chief difficulty which
he has to encounter is the opposition of the corn grower in Ohio.
whose whole interest would appear to lie in securing the cheapest
supply of those imported articles of which he is always a buyer,
and never a seller, so strange an anomaly should not tail to excite
an earnest inquiry as to its cause, when it will be found capable
of but one solution. The corn grower In Ohio finds that, how-
ever much cheaper our goods may he cannot buy when
he cannot sell; and he is therefore satisfied to pay an
extravagant price to the home manufacturer, in order
to create a market there, from which he is shut
out here. But the protective principle is productive cf
mischief, which it is impossible can long be permitted to continue,
on both sides of the Atlantic. In England it is exposing the people,
or at least a considerable portion of them, to habitual scarcity, not
unfrequentiy to severe want; and at the present moment it
threatens little short of a famine. In America it is exposing the
State to a deficient and declining revenue. Duties which were
once only protective are becoming prohibitory, in consequence of
the extension of their home manufactures. In the present year,
tip to this time, the exports of the article of woollens alone from
this country, on which they rely chiefly for their revenue, have
declined more than thirty per cent. compared with last year. Each
country finds itself in a dilemma, ' tom which it can only be
extricated by a closer alliance with the other. There is no
quarter to which we can look with much hope of
relieving . the deficiences of our present harvest
but America; -- there is no source on which the
Cabinet at Washington can rely for replenishing their Treasury
but by so reducing their tariff as to increase the import of British
manufactures. On the one hand, Sir Robert Peel must see the
double advantage which a free trade with the United States would
secure to-this country, first by creating an increased demand for
our manufactures, and secondly, by securing a constant and never
failing supply of food. That country at once offers us abundance
in its productiveness, and the means of purchase from its trade.
On the other hand, Mr. Polk cannot fail to see that a closer Inter.
course with this country would secure a steady demand for that
produce which it is most to the interest of the United States to
raise, while the people would be supplied with our manufacture.
at a lower peice, and his revenue made secure. At the present
moment, however, the overtures of the United States to this
country, and the terms on which they are made, are singularly
adapted to our necessities, and unusuely easy of accomplishment.
Mr. Walker freely exposes his real position to our Minister. The
American Government have little doubt of carrying their new
tariff in Congress, but frankly admit their doubts as to its fate its
the Senate. But they say to us, admit our Indian corn into your
markets, and so give us the support of those who should be the
chief and natural promoters of a low tariff on British manufactures,
and our measure is safe, It would be difficult to conceive a pro.
I position which at this time could be made to our Government In
every way so convenient, and the adoption of which woulst be so
full of promise. If we open our ports it must be, considering the
destitute condition of the continent of Europe, chiefly for American
corn. If we require a cheap and effective substitute for the
perished potato crop of Ireland, there is none so good as Indian
corn, which at this time, if free from duty, could be supplied in.
great abundance at twenty shillings the quarter. And, judging
from the past, looking only to the interests of agriculture,
it would be difficult to confer a greater boon on the
British farmer at all times than to furnish him with a plentiful
and cheap supply of this grain So that looking only to our own
interests, whether temporary or permanent, the overtures of the
American Government present exactly those advantages which
should have suggested themselves to the mind of an English
statesman. And at the present time there are peculiar reasons
why Sir Robert Peel should feel solicitous with respect to our
trade with the United States. Of late years we have depended, to
a great extent, for the increasing export of cur manufactures upon
the continental markets The failing crops, and consequent high
price of food in those countries, cannot but materially affect the
consumption of manufactured goods, and reduce their demand.
nearly to their own means of supply. At the same time, there is
too much reason to apprehend that a similar cause will act pre-
judicially on the home trade, and thua materially endanger the
prosperity of those districts which of late have produced so favour.
able and so marked an influence on the various interests of this,
country. Nothing could tend so much to avert these dangers as si
reduction in the American tariff, which would at once open ups
large market in the western states for:pur manufactures, and alibrd
us an unfailing security against our own fickle and uncertain
climate.

POST—That distinguished bore, Mr. Bickham Escort,
having adopted the polities of the Anti-Corn-law League, has
been makiug a speech on their bide of the question at Ihninster.
lie says Lord Ashley is an able man, and sees truly what is coming.
We wish the Noble Lord much joy of this voucher for his ability
and foresight. Mr. Escott says he feels as Lord Ashley feels,
that " the game of protection is up." What a dignified orator it
is upon a great question! He differs, however, with the Noble
Lord in considering the loss of the corn-laws as a blow.
He does not dread any blow. He thinks the change
is inevitable, but he does not despond for the
result. Certainly the change is inevitable if the Minister be so
monstrously treacherous to the people, as to take advantage of the
willingness of such brainless weathercocks as Mr. Eseott to
deceive and betray their constituents. Of this we are sure,
that Mr. Escott was not returned to: Winchester
as a corn-law repealer. If the Minister be capable of using
such instruments as he is to work out a kind of legislation, the
very opposite of what was calculated upon by the persons who sent
such instruments to Parliament, we scarcely know what epithet
could be strong enough to denote his worse than unworthiness.
If the change ►s to be proposed by Government, let the people be
made aware that this is intended, and then let them have an oppor.
tunity of sending fresh representativte to the House of Commons.
If, when they have this opportunity given them, they send such
creatures as Mr. Escott to that House, there is no misfortune
which dull conceit in legislation can Inflict upon them which they
will not amply deserve. But let them have the opportunity of
using the experience of the last four years. Let not the Minister
insist that the protection law shall be changed by men who
sit in Parliament under false pretences. Let it not be said
that gross and palpable cheats have overthrown the
legislative protection of British agricultural industry. We
can understand men going to their constituents and
saying—" We have been obliged to change our minds. The
stream in favour of mercantile liberalism is too strong for us. We
do not find that we have the power to grapple with those who
would break down British agricultural protection. We acknow.
ledge that you should not have confided in us as champions of pro-
tection, for our taste is rather to give in, or to run away, than to
fight. But the mischief is not yet quite complete. We resign our
representative trust into your hands. You now know us; send us
back to Parliament if you will ; you are aware what you have to
expect. If you want bolder men, who will really fight your battle
for you, we give way. We can vote with the Minister, but without
him we cannot defend you ; so if you do not choose to sur-
render yourself to the absolutism of Sir Robert Peel, who Is
emphatically a commercial Minister, you must find other men
for Parliament in our room." We can conceive men
to be honest although weak, and we should pardon men who took
this course and used this language. But that men who hold Par-
liamentary scats on the notorious understanding of their support of
the corn.laws should make use of their legislative voices to destroy
the corn-laws—that indeed were a proceeding calling for the very
roughest species of remedy. And we have no doubt that such a
remedy would be soon applied. As for Mr. Escott, we can make
the same excuse for his speech at Ilminster as Lord Palmerston
used to make for Mr. Joseph Hume—namely, his impenctrab
thick.headedness. His mind is incapable of pursuing even a short
train of ideas, He sees that, provided the people have wages
In their pockets, they are best off when provisions are cheap,
but he is incapable of going so far forward with the proem
of thought as to perceive that by the cheapening of agricultural
produce the wages of agricultural labourers must fall, and to a
great extent disappear altogether. This comes of sending a mere
chatter-box to Parliament, who cannot think. He is tiot quite so
had as those who can think, but for their own selfish reasons advo-
cate measures which they well know will render more wretched
the condition of English labourers. We acquit Mr. Escott of this
depravity, because we believe him to be stupid enough not to
understand the consequences of what he is willing to do. But we
trust that before he has an opportunity of voting with the Minister
for corn-law repeal, the electors of Winchester will have an oppor
tunity of saying whether he shall vote in Parliament at all. If
they give him that opportunity the fault will then be theirs.

DISTURBANCE ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP
AellioN.—A few days since the crew of the Albion were guilty of
conduct which speaks ill for the character of the British seamen
of these latter days. It appears, that on the arrival of the Albion
with the rest of the experimental ships at this port, on Friday se'n-
night, part of the men had shote.leave given to them, and on Wed-
nesday another party applied fur the indulgence. By that time,
however, sailing orders had reached the ship, and, in accordance
with the custom of the service, no leave could be granted. The
commander, therefore, refused to give leave, and it annoyed the
men very much ; their ire was aggravated by intoxication, and
from grumbling and swearing they soon proceeded to acts of mu-
tiny. Some of the worst of them commenced breaking their mese
things, and throwing the fragments about. Shots were rolled along
the lower deck, the linchpins of the guns drawn and dung about,
and other expedients were resorted to, to show their anger,
and to create a disturbance. These proceedings having been
repotted to Commander Chambers, be immediately mute.
tered the men, bnt a great many did not come ow deck.
and 40 of them were put in irons. The men were suitably ad..
dressed on the impropriety of their conduct by Commander Chain-
ben, but when they were piped down again the disturbance via
renewed with greater violence. The men were then mustered et
divisions, but it was without avail, for ne sooner were they
dis-
missedisionsthan they recommenced their violence. The commander
then proceeded to the lower deck, and while traversing it a
pin was thrown and struck the lantern carried by the quarter.
master, the lights being out at the time, and insolent expressimee,
were uttered under cover of the darkness. Hammocks wtl e piped
down, and no sooner were they down than piped up again, and
this was repeated three times until the fellows were pretty well
drilled into better behaviour. On the following morning it AU
discovered that a gun tackle and the breeching of two guns had

NORTON KEWSTOKE. SUICIDE.-011 Saturday
List, .lances Lovell, a labouring man, committed suicide by
hanging himself. It is generally thought that the fact of
being unable to pay his rent for the cot in which he lived
was the cause of his committing this act. On Tuesday an
inquest was held before Daniel Ashford, Esq., and a verdict
of felo-de-se was returned.— Somerset County Gazette.
