An exchange of prisoiters had been proposed to

At the attack at Ogdensburg, a'bombardier, Ax-
DERSON, of the Roy al Artillery, being advanced under
the fire of the A merican artillery, with a gun which
he found could not be brought to bear to his mind,
caught hold of a handspike, and the rest of the men
doing the same, they rushed upon an American gun.
knocked down the gunners, and turned the piece

happiness.

The Gazette of Saturday offers his Majesty's par-

bringing to justice of any person or persons con-
cerned in the mlepot Mr. and .Mrs. BONAR, of
Chislehurst, excel) to the person who actually com-
mitted the said murder.,

Nicholson continues to get better; but up to four
o'clock yesterday he had made no confession. Indeed,
very few questions had been put to him, nor had he
said more than ask for any refreshment he wanted.
Every care is taken to • prevent his disturbing the
wound on his neck. A regular watch is established,
which is relieved everyirur hours, and a Surgeon is
constantly in attendance.
The poker with which Mr. and Mrs.
,BONAR were
murdered, is in the custody cf Lavender, the Bow•

perpetrating this atrocious crime.
A daring footpad, in the neighbourhood of Bristol,
on Sunday se'nnight committed the three following
robberies : He first robbed some females, part dale
family of Mr. Horlock, of the Rocks, on their return

fingers—he next stopped a person on horseback, on
Barrow-down-hill, and took from him 181 and a sil-
ver watch ; and, within half ar. hourafter, in Shocker-
wick-lane, robbed a carpenter, of Bath, to whom be '
said, " Offer no resistance—l am a match for any
man—l have a wife and six children starving, and
must have money—give me all you.have got."
FlRE.—Last night a destructive fire broke out in
the kitchen of Mr. WHALLEY, at Banstead, near
Croydon, from the foulness of the chimney, which
unfortunately communicating with the mansion, en-
tirely destroyed the whole of that ancient and beauti-
ful structure. So rapid were the flames, that it was
with the utmost difficulty the family, who had but a
short period before retired to rest, escaped from fall.
ing victims to their fury ; and though every endea-
vour was made by them, with the assistance of their
neighbours, yet all their efforts were fruitless to pre-
vent any part of the valuable property from being de-
stroyed, no part of which was insured.
