Daniel Trotter, a fireman in the Hope Insurance Company, was
yesterday fully committed for ttial,chexged with having stoke flout
the ruins of a house which had been burned in North-street, City-
road, on the evening of the 6th inst:a quantity of silver plate.

A Clergyman in Yorkshire, lately deceased, bequeathed
a considerable property to his daughter, on the subse-
quent conditions: First, that she do not enter into the
state of matrimony without the consent of his two exe-
cutors, or their representatives. Secondly, that she be
dressed with greater decency than she hadhitherto been
accustomed to do. The testator's words were: " But
as my daughter, Ann -, hath not atteirded to my
admonitions, respecting the filthy and lewd custom of
dressing with naked elLiows, my will is, that in case she
persists in so gross a violation of female decency, the
whole of the property devised by me as aforesaid, and
intended as a provision for her future life, shall go to
the eldest son of my sister, Caroline and her
heirs lawfully begotten."
It is a curious fact, not generally known, that many
of the bricks employed at present in the buildings at
Moscow were actually skipped from the Thames ! The
houses are built of those materials, and covered
with cement.
