Two men, tramps or pedlars, on Tuesday, crossing
Malling.hill, Lewes, with a dog, it ran out and barked at two men
who were passing, and who said they would kill the animal. One
of the pedlars desired him not to hurt the dog, upon which the fel-
low drew nut a sharp instrument, and ripped up the belly of the ped-
ar, so that his entrails literally came out. Ills companion ran to his
assistance, but was struck on his legs by the two brutes. They
were immediately taken into custody, and committed to gaol,
together with two women and four children, who were with them
at the time. The poor man is lying in a very dangerous state
We understand the prisoners are Irish reapers.
This morning, about two o'clock, an alarming fire
broke out on the premises of Messrs. ESDAILES and
TurtNEtt, Gravel-lane, Houndsduch, which threatened
destruction to the neighbourhood, consisting entirely of.
' the lower order of Jews. In a few minutes after the fire
oommenced, the whole of the manufactory, with its
contents, were in flames. By this time a number of en-
gines had arrived, but no water could be obtained for
*teal ly an hour. The flames communicated to the public-
house of Mr. SwAYNE, the sign of the Box•tree, which
was entirely consumed. The whole now presented an
alarming appearance, and nothing less than the destruc-
tion of the whole neighbourhood was expected. Water
being at length obtained, four houses, which were par-
tially on fire, as well as the tobacco-manufactory of Mr.
JACOBS, were saved. The damage done is immense,
and the chasm occasioned by the fire is dreadful to look
at. Fortunately no lives were lost. The property of
Messrs. TURNER is insured, but to what extent, or in
which office, Mr. TURNER does not know. An express
was sent to his partner, who is expected this afternoon.
Thursday night last, during the performances at the
Surrey Theatre, the audience was thrown into the
greatest alarm, by an accident la hich took place on the
stage, and which was likely to have ended fatally in
its consequences. At the conclusion of the piece called
The Burning Bridge, a Spectre (performed by Mr. Us-
LIE), has to make its appearance to Konang, (Row-
BOTHASI), surrounded by clouds, while seated in a car.
In descending from the top of the stage, by some acci-
dent the machinery came in contact with some of the
burning materials, and the trappings with which the
young gentleman was surrounded caught fire, and in a
short period he was enveloped in flames, and in that
awful situation he remained for some time, the car
being too elevated for him to leap out, and he evidently
seemed to be unaware of the danger that threatened him,
until the car was about eighteen feet from the floor of
the stage. The audience, on viewing the dreadful di.
lemma in which he was placed, expressed a feeling of',
horror, and several Ladies fainted. The flames at length
became so powerful that Mr. LESLIE leaped from the
car to the stage, and fell with considerable violence, in
consequence of which he was considerably injured
about the legs, &c. The curtain instantly dropped,
and the unfortunate young gentleman was carried into
the Green-room, and a surgeon immediately procured.
It was afterwards announced to the audience that he
was not dangerously hurt, which seemed to appease
their fears, as he was considered to be severely injured.
He was conveyed home, and we understand that he is
doing very well at present.
At the Assizes of Exeter, a man named James Harris
was convicted of stealing pigs, and, after a very impres-
sive admonition, the Judge (Mr. Baron GARROW) sen-
tenced him to seven years transportation.—The prisoner,
on leaving the bar, bowed and said, " Thank you, my,
Lord."—Mr. Baron GARROW (bowing in the most affa-
ble manner), " You are extremely welcome, Sir."
Fifty-four negroes were sold yesterday, at the Auction
