TO THB IDITOII
It has occurred to me,
-which his MAJRRTT has found it *expedient ,
Ike trial of incendiaries throughout this island, might have
bed their powers, with advantage M the community, con-
siderably extended, and directed to other species of incen-
diaries, than that lately carried on,. in the name of Mr.
SWING. To explain my meaning, I shall particularize cer-
tain incendiary acts, which are constantly perpetrating in
this enlightened country ; and, in my humble opinion, call
loudly for the vigilant attention of the Legislature.
Various accounts have appeared lately in the daily papers
of hay stacks and corn ricks having been mysteriously set
on fire.—Only about ten days ago, I read a most shocking
account in the STA R, of a conflagration mysteriously accom-
plished, at Olney, in Buckinghamshire, of the entire
thatched roof of a gardener's pig-sty !--by which the
1" peaceful tenants " were absolutely scared from their
abode, in the middle of the night ! The account might, it
is true, have been still more tragical ; and the " peaceful
tenants " aforesaid might, had the three Fates so ordained
it, have become roasted pig, before they amid rationally
aspirate to that honour. It proved, however, a sufficiently
striking event, as it was, to alarm, no doubt, all the
farmers, sad their families, in the conaty.—All these
eendagrations, not even omitting the last, were amibuted
the agency of secret fires, blown through tubes, or other-
wise mysteriously introduced, into the interior of the said
combustible property. But while these acts have attracted
notice, and Commissioners are now employed in their investi-
gations, other acts of a still more demonaical description, and
marking still more the ignorance of the perpetrators, or..
suffered to pass unnoticed.
How often, particularly at this season of the year, do we
discover incendiaries at work !—How frequently do we ev( it
perceive them—not inserting, to be sure, secret fire into tbsi
neighbour's hay-stacks—nor into their corn-ricks ; but what
is more dreadful—actually down their neighbour's throats—
depositing the very elements of ignition in the very stomachs
of those they designate friends I.—Do not such acts requi!a
investigation ?

It may, perhaps, be imagined the acts are not known--
that the element consumes without external flame ; but
nothing is more incorrect. The flames, in fact, burst forth
in the very face; and yet they pus comparatively unnoticed.
I know a village in the county of Berke, where an investiga-
tion is now in progress, to ascertain who it was that set fire
to theParsoo's barn ; but you will hardly believe me, Reader,
when I tell you, that the Parson's own nose has been on fire,
and prominently conspicuous too, for some time; and no one
takes the trouble to inquire who was the incendiary. 'l'o
sure, some of his parishioners say, as there have been feriae.*
who have set fire to their own stacks, so there may be Par-
sons who set fire to their own noses ; and truly, we must ad-
mit, it is possible to have happened so.
There is another set of incendiaries,,,.who convey, in a
most mysterious way, theiNfirst--atoiliqtolithaystneks, nor
into the stomachs, nor into thelb,i3A or their neighbours
noses ; but aim at a more vital ptrt, and convey the principle
of ignition into the very hearts of their unfortunate neigh-
bours. I have suffered occasionally myself, fio:n tit's species
of Swinyism ; and therefore can describe, a little, the course
of procedure; although, thank Goo ! I never tea. yet quite
successfully set on fire. In the cases I refer to, the fire i.
transmitted, it is supposed, from the eyes of the incendiary.
Those who have been caught at it, are all fem3les, of what
is termed in the country, comely visage—who station them-
selves, for the perpetration of the act, in places of great
resort—such as a church, a play-house, or a ball-room.
—They play off this fire at some unfortunate youth, who
happens to be near. The principle of combustion is in a
moment transfused into his very heart ; and, as in their case,
no one can damp fire, but the incendiary herself, the poor
fellow is doomed to burn on through life, till death puts a
period to his affliction. Whether this fire be Galvanic,
or Electric, is not known. Some naturalists say it is ana-
logous to that which proceeds from the eyes of the
cockatrice or basilisk ; but whatever it may be, I ask you,
my dear Reader, do not such acts call for Commissions to
investigate ? • •
The only other species of incendiaries, are people who are
called Poets. A real Poet could, it is said, set the world on
fire. I cannot say that poetical incendiarism is very .trou-
blesome just now; and wany have ambition to make people
think them possessed of poetical fire, who generally• are
obliged to put up with an inferior kind. I shall explain this
by an Epigram, and so take my leave of you for this year :
Bavius, when you Invoke the !hue foe fire,
Perhaps you often get what you desire ;
That you have fire, perhaps you truly state,
Bat then that fire.....is In the parlour gists!
I am, Sir, yours, &c.

O'Gorman Mahon, M.P. has left London for Paris,
bearing the Address 'greed to some time back at a meeting,
called " the Marquis of Weetmeath's Meeting," held in
Dublin, congratulating the people of France on their rc-
•olution.

A splendid entertainment was given on Monday evening,
at Drakelow, by Sir Roger and Lady Sophia Gresly, to
about 200 persons of fashion. On Saturday a coed} ,
translated from the French by lady Nan, mutled A Match
or No Match, and a farce, were very cleverly performed a;
the little theatre at Drakelow.

Lord Wellington was much occupied in his bureau, and
for the sake of health and diversion et the mind, went out daily wish
his fowling-piece upon the plane, lie had one day of pstarety sport
in the Royal park of Villa Viciose, a hunting place of the Kings of
reacapt:j iaal. Upon th occasion one wild boar and 25 bead oldest were
upon tbe sward as the trophy of the day. He was always gay
and geed.houtesued with those about him, and laspleing mhos' with
