General 2AIARAi chief of a Fretteh sqdadron; was
lately assassinated by his confidential domestic, 1324
sili Pavinsk-y, at Elte, 4ih Hanover. He wits on his
way froth France to join the army ; and alighted at
the postthaster's; where he slept. In the Middle of
the night, Pavinsky attacked him with his own sabre,
add having reduced him to a state of insensibility,
cut his throat. He then rifled him of a gold watch,
several diamond rings, and 6000 francs in gold.-
-He did not attempt to escape ; but declared next
morning, that his Master was fatigued, and would not
rise till mid-day. Late in the afternoon, the post-
Master's wife, sutptised to hear no movement in the
chamber, peeped through the key-hole, and saw the
General, naked and weltering in his blond. Pavinsky,
who was in the kitchen regaling himself, was imme-
diately apprehended, and confessed his crime.

CONWAY fully gratified the high expectation which
his superior talents had excited, Mrs, FAUCITT was

The inhabitants of Westminster were yesterday
thrown into confusion, in consequence of the furnace
belonging to the Gas Light and Coke Company, lit
Providence-court, Great Peter.street, Westminster,
exploding. The accident was occasioned by a lighted
candle communicating to the gas, which instantly
blew part of the premises to atoms. Several engines
Mete immediately on the spot; and it was with the
greatest difficulty the building was saved from entire
destruction, It is pleasing to add, that no person re:
ceived any serious injury; but the panic was very
!peat. and a dumber of windows were brctken.
At the West India Docks, bit Thursday evening,
about six o'clock, the whole surface of five connected
roofs of a large rum Warehouse, each 95 feet in the
span, and 140 in length, covering a space of 175 feet
by 140, fell with a tremendous crash. The erection
was of wrought iron, supported at the extremity 1
each span by stauncheons of the same metal, and coo
toed with very large slates. Most fortunately, the
accident occurred two hours after the men had left
work, or the consequence might have been dreadful,
as neatly 100 men had been employed in the ware-
house in the course of the day. Whether this acci.
dent may be attributed to the ponderous weight of
the slates, the great width of the span without inter-
mediate supports, or to a want of due streng.h in the
pieces of iron, there can be no question that iron roofs
may be made as secure as wood, while they defy ti,e
rage of fire; but there may have been a want of pro-
portion, or the walls may have sprung out.
It has already been mentioned, that the American
armed schooner Young Teazer was blown up, when
on the point of being captured by the British frigate
la Hogue. The diabolical act appears to have been
perpetrated, on a sudden impulse, by one Lieutenant
Johnson. This wretch had been Commander of the
Old Tearer, of New York, which was taken some time
since by Admiral Warren's squadron, and Johnsen
was released on his parole. Without waiting for an
exchange, he entered as first Lieutenant on board the
Young Teazer. On the vessel being chased, the
Commander, Captain Dobson, called all the Officers
to a consultation on deck. Johnson, dreading to fall
into the hands of the British, instead of attending,
took a live coal, and went below to the powder-
magazine. A sailor, who observed him, rushee for-
ward, gave an alarm, and jumped overboard. In a
minute alter the Young Tearer blew up, and all the
Officers and crew, except seven sailors, peiished.—
These stood on the forecastle. One of them is dead.
