Monday morning a fire was discovered in the ware-
house of Mr. Price, ship chandler and roper. Duke's-
pl-ace, opposite to the Duke's Dock, Liverpool. In about
ten minutes the first fl for of the building was on ire;

o'clock the warehouse, which is six stories high, was na
fire in every part. The flames, after destro)ing the
warehouse, caught the shop of Mr. Steele, the optician.

the stock of that Gentleman. Four or five engines were
upon tie •spot ; but, up to three o'clock, not one of them

toescape, which heeffected; and coca after suspicion
was entertained that he was concealed in a house of ill
fame in Sandgate, where the officers proceeded, arid
while demanding admission, the escaped prisoner de-
scended from a window on the second story, and with a
sharp instrument like a carving-knife, attempted to ins
it into the bodies of the two officers, but was prevented
by their guard. In the defence to save themselves,
they received several cuts and stabs of a dangerous na-
ture—and they were afterwards taken to the Infir

fair way of recovery. The noi•e and scone drew seve-
ral persons to the spot. uho succeeded in securing the
delinquent, and be is now safely lodged ;rigor!.
An action for damages was lately brought at Beaver,
Ohio, against a person for lending the Farr if a pig-
trough, which had a split in the• bottom, and enure-
quently leaked the slop, and starved the pigs. The

the ground that the defendant knew of the defect when
he lent the trough, and did not inform lira' r f it. it
WAS proved by the defendant that it was a .trougis
taken up adrift in Big Beaver, and that it was split is
(the bottom when he got it in possession, which he ha 4
caulked to prevent it from leaking, and that the plain-
' tiff knew this fact when he boi rowed it. After the ex-
amination of several witnesses, judgment was rendered
for the plaintiff for 621- cents damage (about half a-
crown), and costs of suit.
