MA It LBW...VA/MI-STMT. —The house-maid to a
Colonel in the army was yesterday re-examined, on a
charge of having stolen Bank-notes from her master's
*secretary, by procuring a second key.: It appeared,
by the testimony of the prosecutor, that he had fre-
tjuently missed notes from his secretary, and knew
not who to suspect. He gave information of the fact
at the Office, and was advised to mark some of the
notes, which plan was adopted. Some property was
again missed ; and, on an officer searching the Fri-
soner, he found on her one of the marked notes, and
also a key which fitted the secretary. The prisoner
was remanded.

MUM:MR.—Friday last was committed to Bodmin
Grial, IVillranr B9wden, labourer, for the Wilful Mur7
der of his wife. This inhuman being after having
put an end to the existence of his wife by stabbing
her, was discovered burning the body with turfs within
, theit dwelling. This horrid murder was committed
'lt a small- house near Redruth, in the County of
Cornwell.
A hill of indictment was found on Saturday against

One night last week some mischievous persons en-
tered the garden of Mr; Thomas Worger, adjoining
Woodchurch•green, lent, and cut down and detstoy-
ed thirty large apple, pear, and cherry trees, all in
full perfection.
During the thunder storm on Tuesday evening, a
Gentleman who was riding along the Kensington-
road, was struck dead by the lightning, as was hi,
horse. On the body being taken up, it smelt strongly
of sulphur ; but there were no external marks by
which the cause of death could be immediately aa-
certained. In the pockets of the deceased were found
"several Bank notes, a gold watch, and some letters,
from which latter it 'was ascertained that his name
was Rogers, and that he lived in Titchfield-street,
tlary-la-bonne, whither the body was conveyed.

A most lamentable accident happened last weak
in a coal-mine at Ortell, near Upholland, in the
neighbourhood of Liverpool. Notice had been given
to the workmen belonging to the pit, that a certain
particular level was supposed to be filled with inilam- '
mable gas, and they were of course directed not to
approach the place with a light or any other sub-;
stance capable of cOmmunicating'fire. Notwithstan- I
ding this warning, one of the men, who had left his
tools in the forbidden place, had the rashness to at-
tempt to recover them, and actually enter4.l it with a
candle. A tremendous explosion instantly took
place, in consequence of which every person in that
part of the mine was immediately suffocated. Nine
men ani one woman fell a sacrifice to this thoughtless
temerity, who were all taken out dead. The males
all belonged to the Leyland and Ormskirk Local
Militia, and were most of them very stout and able
young men.t The explosion was so violent, that it
shook the windows of the houses of one of the neigh-
bouring villages.
•A singular circumstance occurred on board the
ship Regalia, in Portsmouth harbour Ilast.week. The
Captain (PALMER) had two apprentices sent him from,
Loudon, by the owners ;- both of whom were regu-
larly bound, and-bad been on board some time. AI
kw days ago, one of them fell overboard; in the har-
bour, and was with much difficulty got on board the
ship—When the supposed lad proved to be a young
.girl, about 16 years of age. She said she had pro-
cured:a Ruing near. London, by working in the fields;
but disliking the employment, and without character
to recomihend her to any housekeeper's employment,
she was induced to pass herself off as a young lad
wishing to go to sea, when la he was regularly bound
to serve as an apprentice to ;he owners of the Rega-
lia. The crew handsomely subscribed to rig her out,
kith female clothing.; and she is for the present un-
der the notice of the Honourable Mrs. GREY, the
Commissioner's Lady.
LONGEMY.—There are now living in a small,
house, consisting of three apartments„on the estate of.
Ekon Mossmaar, Esq. near Le4maliago, Lanarkshire,
Scotland, three women (Janet Young, aged 98, Janet
Lindsay, 90, and Mary Lindsay, 82, the two last Ire
sisters,). whose joint ages amount to 270, and eye-
sight and ether faculties unimpaired. They are daily
employed in spinning flax and other necessary avoca-
tions, and attend regularly on public worship at some
distatafer on Sunday*, Bcc.
