observed to try the door of No.'S, in the square. A
servant happened to be in the ares, and perceived the
prisoner and hit ske;eton keys hard at work, therefore
he ascended quietly and secured the fellow, who was
soon overpowered and lodged in custody.
INCINDIARIss —A most diabolical and cold-blooded
attempt was made a week ago to destroy by fire ape
heath, or rather the grouse, on Cannock Chase, la
this county, the lordship of the Marquis of ANGLaSaL
The attempt was in a great measure, we regret to
add, successlol, as, for a distance of two miles in
length, and several hundred acres in breadth, the
heath was completely burnt. The mode adopted to
extinguish the fire was the employment of about 200
men, with long sticks, beating the heath until their ob-
ject was accomplished. A breed of black as well as red
grouse has been for several years anxiously preserved
on these moors, and there it too much reason to suspect
that the mischief to the eggs and s sting birds is very
consid rable.—Stnjord Advertiser.

Saturday. a boy the name of Tilollll3 Hetherton,
third son of Mr. Hetherton, fstrier, Collin, fell from a
tree in Torthorwald Church-yard, neat Dumfries, nn
which there are a number of crows' nests. In descending,
he missed his footing, but laid hold of a branch, and
called to his companion to run for a ladeer. The boy
did as he was bid, but could not procure one, and on
bis return, found that his friend had fallen on a through-
stone from a height of 40 feet. His thigh bone was
broken, his head cut, and his teeth driven out. He was
tak-n up a sad spectacle. Dr. Laing reduced the frac-
ture; and but faint hopes areen el tanned of his recovety..
We read lately in a Newspaper the following notice,
signed by the Burgomaster of a town, whose name we
shall not mention:—" Art. 2. All dogs, not muzzled,
that are found wandering about, shall be carried before

pens:ties laid down by the law.'

EDINBURGH, Prit 15.
ALA.MISG RE.—Yesterdey afternoon. about !bet
o'clock, a fire broke out in the upper story of a tenertant
of wooden houses, on the north side of the Lawn-markets
it had at first a most alarming appearance. Otreengiaa
was immediately in operation, and played with mach
effect; but great anxiety was expressed for further as.
sistan4e to oppose the progress of the flames. At length
two other engines arrisod, but by this time their servings
had fortunately bedtime unnecessary. We are sorry to
add that a poor woman lost her life on the occasion. I
is said that the fire began in a room adjoining hers,
that she was asleep, in a state of intoxication, at the
time it broke out. She was brought into the strut in
a state r f ruffocation, and carried to the shop or Ht.
Sinclair, the surgeon, wflo administered such aid as bet
case required, but it was found impossible to restate'
animation. _ _

Friday .ennighl I d LINTZ A TIIOII, Baron of ALIT*,
(only son of the Eatrof Attu') completed his first year ; ttn wide&
occasion upwards of two hundred of the Noble Earl's tenant* mil
at Cortachy, and, about four o'clock, sat down to a most smapto-
ous dinner given them by. his Lordship, About seven **cloth the.
Noble Earl, accompanied by hie amiable and lovely Countess and
a number of friends, left the Castle and joined his guests, who
were amusing themselves dancing, &c. in which the Sod sod the
whole of his party joined. Bonfires were seen blazing on mist of
the adjoining bill,, and the din of caisson echoing iu the distant
Oen. and Tallies was awfully grand. The Noble Earl sod Igo
party added much to the hilarity of the company, and did not re-
tire to the Castle till it was late.

S inlay forenoon an afflicting occurrence took place
in the Rev. Mr. Nimes Chapel. Infirmary-street, Edithergh.—
The Rev. Nlr. BaaTM; of Piteairnagreen, sear Perth, while &a-
dman the congregation, suddenly fell down from a surds* of
apoplexy. lie was inonedoiety conveyed to the vestry, and from
thence in a carriage to Mr. Parron's house, wherrhe died yesterday
afternoon. The congregation, whose feelings were much (TAW
by this viocation, were shortly after dismissed by Mr. Perms.
Sr. llama's CIIIMICH.—Libt night the new trans-
parent clock of the above church was illuminated for
the first time, and occasioned a number of persons to
assemble in St. Bride's avenue and the opposite side of
Fleet-street. It is six feet in diameter, and the figures
are painted on ground glass, behind which is placed
some white silk, in order to deaden the light. There
are three gas burners, which are so constructed as to
extinguish themselves at any period required. The
Churchwardens originally intended it should be on the
same principle as the one at St. Giles's Church, the
machinery of which, both illUminates and extinguishes
the lights; but this plan, after repeated trials, was
abandoned. The whole has a very beautiful effect.
Tue WAKITISLDII.—These persons, who on Mon-
day received their sentence in the Court of King's
Bench, for conspiracy, are still together in Nev.
gate. We understand that they occupy a room be.
longing to one of the Turnkeys, similar to the one oc-
cupied by Fauntlerey. William Wakefield's residence
there will be, of course, but for a short time ; but Ee•
saw) Gunton WmtartaLn will remain in his present
domicile during the three long years of his confinement.
The Wascalhacns were yesterday visited by a number
of Ladies and Gentlemen, probably relations.
THe WHITICHAPaL ALUM—As yet no account
has been received further than that btnught by Mr.
Miller, of Skeels, the perpetrator of this sanguinary act,
being seen at Mame' in Oxfordshire. The next intel-
ligence received was from Allen, one of the beadles of
St. George's in the East, who, being in Bri-tol, whither
he went with some paupers, and hearing of the murder.
proceeded on bOard two vessels that were about to sail
for Radnor, the native place of the prisoner, and ex-
amined them minutely ; the result was unsuccessful, and
he was not to be fortd.
It will be recollected, that aboist January last two
youths, named George Romeo's and James Bishop.
who had been convicted at the 011 Valley Sessions of
_ _

robbing Mr. Fuctan, a surgeon, on the highway at
Bethnal-green, were ordered for execution. A doubt

was raised as to their identity, and extraordinary exer-
tions were made on their behalf, which ultimately kd
to their lives being saved, and they were ordered to be
transported for life. Very soon after their arrival at
the convict ship at Gosport, Bishop found means to
effect his escape, and had not been heard of until Mei.
day last, when he presented himself at the gate of
Nevrgate, and, to the astonishment of the turnkeys, re-
quested admission, for die purpose of nurtendering
himself ; stating, with tears in his ep s, that he was in-
nocent of the charge of which he had been convicted.
but that he could no longer continue to live in the
watched state of concealment in which he had b en
for months past, and that he preferred at once deliver.
ing himself up to the hands of justice. . '
Monday evening, Mr. GA Mtn, jeweller, of Nassau.
street, Middlesex Hospital. while standing in the pit of
Astley's Theatre, was robbed of a pocket-book, con-
taining a 201. note, and various memoranda.
Tuesday, as T. KEN/MAR. E,q. of Miller's fi tel, Jer.
myo-stiest, was walking down Bond-street, he was followed by
two lads, one of whom extracted from his pocket a silk pocket.
handkerchief and a purse, containing three sovereigns and some
silver; the latter he threw on the ground, and the ether lad picked
it up and ran off. A Lady whe witnessed the trap action, informed
Mr. Kinnear of hi, less, who seized one of them, but the other es-
caped with the booty.
DUBLIN FOUNDLING HOSPITAL —The following
remarkable facts are collected from a recent Parlia-

mentary pae)er : —This Hospital was originally founded
in 1704. Abuses crept into the establishment,
which were put an end to by an Act of the Irish
Parliament in 1796. Since that period, up to
January, 1826, the total number of children ad-
mitted has been 52,150, of whom 14,619 died in the
hospital while infants ; 25,859 were returned as dead
whilst at nurse in the country ; 730 died in the infir-
mary after returning from nut se; 322 died in the tonn•
try, grown children sent there for health ; making the
total number of deaths, 41.524. 01 the remaining
number 413 eloped from the hospital ; 1,093 were deli.
vered up to parents whilst infants ; 34 were delivered to
the same from the grown department ; 5,466 were ap-
prenticed to trades; 240 apprenticed to schoolmasters;
and 526 transferred to charter schools. The number of
children annually sent into the hospital, may be judged
by the following facts :—ln 1817. 2.210 infants were
admitted, while in the same period only 74 were appren-
ticed ; cad in 1818, 1,598 were admitted, and o.ly 93
apprenticed. This great accumulation of children forced
the Governors to have a Bill brought into Parliament
in 1822, providing that no child should be admitted
without the payment of 51. to be levied on the parish
whence the child came. The practical effects of this
measure were felt at once; in 18'23 ot ly 419 'len
admitted, and next year but 486. But the Report
' says that no increase of infanticide was the cenur
quence of the decrease in the number admitted. The
income of the Hospital arises pirgy from the rent of a
small estate, producing about 100. per annum,' from
children on admission, and which vary from 2.2001. 10
24001. but chiefly from Parliamentary grants, 111410
