" Delight& as we have been with all the previous pro-

Croppy' alone to impress us with any idea of the full ex
tent of their, genius , and capabilities. It is impossible to
conceive a scene, or actors, better suited to the purpose of
such writers, than Ireland and the unquiet spirits of 1798 ;
and equally difficult to imagine in- what other quarter
they could have received the justice awarded them in this.
The story itself glows with the very essence of romance
and excitation."—Literary Chronicle.

SOIVINAMBUL ISM.

Yesterday everting an inquisition was taken at
the Three Tuns, Colerhan-street, before T. SHEL-
TON, Esq., Coroner, on view of the' body of Louisa
Elvis, a fine girl, aged 17.
Mrs. Ann Flory, housekeeper. to John Lugon,
Esq.; merchant, of No-17, Finsbury-circus, de-
posed, that. the deceased was her niece. About a
fortnigbt back she left her situation as nursery-maid
at Kensington, owing to indisposition, and came to
reside with witness in the house of Mr. Lugon.
Within the last week her health had' greatly
proved ; and, on Friday she went on a visit to some
friends .in Hunter-street, Brunswick-square. On
her return about seven o'clock in the evening, she
appeared in good spirits; about ten o'clock she went
to her bed, which *as situated on the third floor,
back. On the following morning, about half-past
seven o'clock, witness went into the deceased's
room for the purpose of calling her, when she found
her absent. The bed had been lain in during the
night, and the sash of the window was wide open.
Witness was much alarmed at the circumstance;
she %vent down stairs in the back kitchen, and soon
afterwards having occasion to go out in - the back
area, she discovered her unfortunate young relative
stretched along the stones, bleeding profusely from
the head, and apparently quite dead. Witness ins 7
rnediately went to the bed-room of Mr. Lugon,
whom She informed of the shocking discovery. She
subsequently %vent for the ward-beadle for the pur-
pose of knowing how to act; and he came to the
house in about an hour. lam not aware that the
deceased's mind was affected, or that she was in the
habit of walking in her sleep.
By a Juror---When I discovered the deceased in
the area, she had on her chemise, under petticoat,
gown, and stockiegs.
In answer to nunierous other questions put to the
witness, she said that the persons who slept in the
house besides herself, daughter, and the deceased,
were Mr. Lugon, le clerk, and a little boy about
eight years old ; that she did not hear any noise on
the Friday night, and that no kind of intimacy sub-
sisted between the deceased and Mr. Lugon's clerk.
The Jury, after consulting about half an hour, re-
turned a verdict, " That the deceased, whilst asleep,
got out of the window, and falling into the area
was killed."

At a convivial meeting at Abingdon, on
Thursday last, "The health of the Earl of Radnor, and
thanks to him for his conduct in discharging his game..
keepers, and allowing his tenants to exercise a right of
sporting over the farms they occupied under hire," was pro-
posed and drank with enthusiastic, applause. The respect_
able company Present on that occasion seemed to think 'that
by the late regulations of the noble Earl the morals of the
peasantry were as much contented as the independence o
the. farmer. •

A snake about two 'feet, two inches long, has
been in the possession of Mr. Lawson, druggist, Dunbar,
for upwards of 14 weeks ;..during- that period the reptile
has had nothing administered by way of food, but re-
sembles the fabulons cameleon, subsisting only upon the
atmospheric air,'admitted to its glassy abode by small aper-
tures perforated is the cork, which air may truly be called
the orb of atoms, especially within the precincts of a labo-
ratory, seeing that the.reptile has not only found it salu-
brious, but of a prolific nature, as she has produced, within
these few days, seven young ones, still seems tenacious of
life, and appears to fare luxuriously upon the vapours that
fly off from saithridate, &c.—Fife Herald.
FI RE.—About six o'clOck on Monday morn-
ing a fire broke out in a carpenter's shop, John-street, Si.
Philip's-plain, which, entirely destroyed the interior ef.
three houses, occupied by twelve different families, and by
which a child, aged eleVen years, was burnt to death.—
The lower part of the premises was used as a carpenter's
shop by a person named Bateman, who had gone to work
that morning before day-light, and•had placed his lamp in
the workshop, from which he had retired only a few mi-
nutes, when the whole was in flames. The mother of the
unfortunate child was-roused among the rest by the fire and
smoke rushing into her room; she had an infant at her
breast, and seizing both her children, she endeavoured to
reach the stairs ; but one poor child, which was sick and
weakly, fell from her, and was burnt to a cinder. In ad-
dition to the above particulars, we learn that the loss of
property by this dreadful fire, on a moderate computation,
amounts to at least 3001,. eiclusive of the loss to the
owner of the three houses destroyed, which is estimated 'at
not less than Md.—Felix Parley's Bristol Journal.

COMBINATION AND DREADFUL OUTRAGE.
—On 'Thursday evening one of those cold-blooded and
daring outrages that are so frequent in this city, arising
out of the abominable system of combination which so
unhappily prevails, was committed near the new build-
ings in South Main-street. As a poor man named Thomas
Ryan, by trade a skinner, was returning home on the
above evening, in Company with his wife, a gang of vil-
lains, ten in number, rushed on him, armed with saws,
and having knocked him down, they mangled his body
most cruelly, having cut one of his arms through in two
places, and inflicted some dreadful wounds on_ his head.
His wife threw herself on the unfortunate man,'to try and
save him from the vengeance of his merciless assailants,
but she was also severely cut. It would be horrifying to the
feelings of our readers to describe mere minutely the state
in which they left their victim, who was instantly con-
veyed to the South Infirmary, where he remains in a lan-
guishing state, without the least hope of recovery, under
the care of Drs. Woodrooffe and Bull, who have pro-
nounced his case a most extraordinary one. As soon as
the particulars bad reached the City Sheriffs, they pro-
ceeded, accompanied by Messrs. Rogers and Hewson,
High Constables, and Haynes and Mathis, jun.; peace-
officers, in pursuit of the offenders, and after a diligent
and anxious search they succeeded in apprehending four
men, named John Nowlan, a baker, Edmond Keily, cur-
rier, Edward Robinson and James Tobin, skin-dresiers, the
former of whom was about to be sent away by his friends,
to avoid the ends of justice. The unfortunate man has
identified those persons, who have undergone a strict exa-
mination before the Magistrates, and were committed Or
trial at the next Assizes.—Cor/i Conaitution.
