Thursday sight a daring outrage was committed
at Berkeley Castle, Gloucestersh►re, by a gang of
poachers, upon the gamekeepers of Colonel Berkeley:
one was killed, two had their eyes shot out, and two
others were also desperately wounded.
At the Bedford Sessions, Thwear Vintner was tried
for an assault on Thomas Brampton, of Cople. T.
Brampton stated, that he was game-keeper to Lord
I Ludlow, and that on the 12th of November last he
found several snares set in a spinney belonging to his
Lordship; he did not discover any person then, but
he procured nine assistants. who were on the watch
all that night. On the following afternoon he met
with Vintner, who knowing the witness, presented a
gun at him, saying, a Stand off, I will not be taken."
He and another witness, however, took the gun away
from the prisoner. The charge was afterwards
drawn, but there was nothing in the gun but powder.
Two other witnesses deposed to the same tffect.—
Vintner denied presenting the gun at Brampton ; he
was, however, found guilty, and sentenced to one
year's imprisonment, and to find security for his good
behaviour for two years, himself in £lOO, and two
sureties in £5O each.'

Befar• the Petworth Bench of Magistrates, on Sa-
turday se'nnight, three persons resident in Horsham,
were convicted of buying gameof a poacher, in seven-
penalties, of R 5 each.
Fifteendwelling housec, besides workshops, stables,
and other buildings, were consumed by tire, on Sa-
turday evening, at Moreton-hampstead, in Devon-
shire, and oae poor unfortunate woman was burnt to
death.
Wednesday the manufactory of Mr. Burrow, of the
Folley, in the Pottery, in Staffordshire, was discove-
red to be on fire, but it was soon subdued. .

About one o'clock, on Thursday morning, the la-
boratory of Mr. Cooke Taylor, chymist and druggist,
in York, was discovered to be on fire. An alarm
was immediately given, a fire engine procured, and
the flames were, consequently, soon extinguished,
without any very serious damagebeingcaused thereby.
Two Coroner's Inquisitions were taken in Birming-
ham, on Monday se'nnight and Tuesday, on the
bodies of two children, who were burnt to death, by
their clothes taking fire.
Friday se'nnight, Lydia Eaton, a girl about four
years old, was so badly burnt, by her clothes taking
fire, while in company with some other children, in a
house at Darlaston, that she died the next day.—On
the following Monday, a similar accident occurred to
Rebecca Dutton, 15 months old, at Sedgley, which
produced almost immediate death.
A report has reached us of a guard to the Glas-
gow Mail having been lost in the snow on Wednes-
day. He had set out with the mail on horseback,
from Dumfries, and was overpowered in the violence
of the storm, and perished.
The Newcastle mail coach, which left Carlisle, on
Tuesday, was upset on its way to that town. It re-
ceived a severe jerk from an accumulation of ice in
the road, and the very violent wind took effect at the
moment, and completed the overthrow. We are
happy to add no one received ii jury.
The mail coach which left Manchester on S itur-
day se'nnight, about five o'clock, for Carlisle, was up.
set about two miles out of Manchester, in consequence
of the breaking of the a:le•tree, by which accident, a
Gentleman named Duckworth, an outside passenger,
received several such severe bruises that he was• un-
able to pursue his journey. Another Gentleman, an
inside passenger, had his shoulder dislocated, The
coachman, guard, and none of the other passengers,
received material injury.—Carhtle Patriot.
The Shrewsbury Mail Coach, which left London
on Thursday evening, was overturned near the pub-
lic-house known by the name of Mother Red Cap's,
between High Wycombe and Beaconsfield. In the
fall all the passengers were severely injured, and two
of them lie at the public-house with little hope of life :
the coachman4s not expected to recover: Mr. T.
Hitchings, one of the passengers, was brought in a
chaise to his brother's, Mr. G. Hitchings, surgeon,
of Oxford : he is unable to move, from his very severe
bruises. One of the gentlemen dangerously hurt, it
is stated, is a very elegant young man, on his way to
Dublin.
