Sunday evening perceived smoke issuing from the house ; they found
the door open, and there being no person in the house, they pro-

quantity a straw strewed upon the floor. The doer of the back
room was enveloped in flames, there being a tort of tube in the
centre, from which a great body of flame ascended to the ceiling.
They saw some valuable furniture in the lower pert of the house.
and on finding the prisoner at the Wellington public-house, they
took him into custody.

insurance for furniture, to the amount of .C6OO was effected es the

M. A Gentleman (who attended for Mrs. Noel) said, that she had

was travelling to Bath with one inside only ; upon the
road an outside passenger applied to be put insides .bat
the inside passenger objected to such permission, open

Dr. Q. F. Paddock, a respectable physician of Fort
Covington, Franklin County, gives, in the Frani&
Telegraph, an account of an extraordinary birth of foe
children at one time from the same mother—three
daughters and two sons. Four of them were born alive,
but lived,only a short time. The birth was premature
by about three months, but they were perfectly formed
and well shaped. The average weight was about two
pounds, and there was not much difference in their
size. Their parents lately emigrated from Irehrad, and
arrived in America in August last. This is ren-
dered more remarkable by the fact, that the mother of
these five was delivered of two children on the 20th of
last February—making in the whole seven children in
less than nine month,. These last were born on the
25th November, 1826.-41beey. Argos.-. '
The custom of keeping jesters at Court. ceased with
Archibald Armstrong, in the reign of Charles the First.
—Archy, as he was usually called, lies interred in the
church-yard of his native parish of Atburet, in Cumber,
land ; and, by an odd accident. suitable to his professioo,
the day of the funeral happened to be on the lst of
April. Archy had loog shot his bolt with great applause
tiil he unfortunately fell upon Archbishop Laud, for
which he was degraded, had his fool's cost pulled over
his head, and was espelled the Court.. When the news
arrived of the tumults in. Scotland, occasioned by an
attempt to introduce the Liturgy there, Archy unlutkily
met the Archbishop, and had the impudence to say to
his Grace, " Who is fool now ?" Qt this the. Prelate
complained to the Privy Council, to which he was then
going ; and, in consequence the following entry was
made in the Council Book:—".Ordered. that Archibald
Armstrong, the King's fool. be banished the Court, for
speaking disrespectful words of the Archbishop of Can.
terbury." According to Howell, Archy had the honour
of attending Charles, when Prince of Wales, on his
romantic expedition to Spain, where his fool s coat ob.
tamed for him the privilege of admittance into the
presence of the Infanta and hex Ladies of Honour, who
were pleased with his wit and extravagance. One day
they were discoursing what a marvellous thing it was
that the Duke of Bavaria, with less than one thousand
five hundred men, after a long march, should encounter
and defeat the Palsgrave army, consisting of above
twenty-five thousand, in consequence of which Prague
was taken. When Archy heard this, he answered, that
he would tell them ast r thing than that; " for
was it not surprising," sap fie, " that, in the year 1588
there should come a fleets( 140 ships from Spain, to
invade En:011104 and tent riot ten of them could get
