HORRIBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.—Monday morning,
about a quarter past nine o'clock, a most dreadful murder
.and suicide took place at No. 14, Caroline-buildings. Mrs.
Callaway and others, who resided at No. 33, were attracted
to the spot by hearing most dreadful screams, and looking
through the window, were horror-struck at perceiving a man
leaning over a female, in the act of cutting her throat. He•
then released her, when she rushed from the house, with the
blood pouring from her, to the door of No. 12, where she
was caught by Mrs. Callaway, who took off her apron, and
attempted to staunch the blood, despatching persons for a
surgeon, policeman, &c. The man at this time was bran-
dishing the knife, and threatening to stab any person who
approached him. While several persons were engaged with
the deceased, the murderer placed himself behind the street
door, and with the dreadful instrument in his hand, nearly
severed his head from his body. The husband, who was in
Prospect-row, on being informed of the dreadful event, ran
home, and attempted to commit suicide, by drowning him-
self in the water butt. He was, however, rescued by the
poliee, and was conveyed to St. George's Workhouse, where
lie at present remains. The deceased, who was a fine look-
ing woman, has left a boy, aged ten years, to lamenther un-
timely end. The murderer was about 35 years of age, and
single.—Falmouth Express.
ADVICE TO MEN IN DEBT.—Ascertain the whole state of
your affairs. Learn exactly how much you owe. Be not
guilty of deceiving yourself. You may thus awaken suspicions
of dishonesty, when your intentions were far otherwise. De-
liberate and fully make up your mind, that, come what will,
you practise no concealment, or trick which might. have the
appearance of fraud. Openness and candour command re-
speet among all good men. Remember that no man is com-
pletely ruined among all men until his character is gone. As
you are at present in circumstances of great trial, as as many
eyes are upon you, do nothing rashly. If you need advice
consult only a few. Let them be disinterested persons of the
most established reputation. Offer frequent and fervent pray-
er to Almighty God. If you have, by any fault of your own,
been brought into your present embarrassments, humbly ask
forgiveness of God, and hope in his mercy. Beware of feel-
ings of despondency. Give no place for an hour to useless
and enervating melancholy. Be a man. Reduce your ex-
penditures to the lowest possible amount. Care not to figure
as others around you. Industriously pursup such lawful and
honest arts of industry as are left to you. An hour's indus-
try will do more to beget cheerfulness, suppress evil rumours,
and retrieve your affairs, than a month's moaning. I; you
stop business, do it soon enough to avoid the just charge of
an attempt to involve your unsuspecting friends. Learn from
your present difficulties the utter vanity of all earthly things.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT IPSWICI4—TWENTY HOUSES
DESTROYED,—IPSWICII, JULY 22.—Another dreadful fire
broke out this morning, about eight o'clock, attended with a
greater destruction of property than the one which happened
on the 17th instant. It commenced in a loft belonging to
Mr. Horn, sail-maker, and soon extended to the whole
building, which is totally destroyed. Adjoining this build-
ing was a bonding-yard, which contained a large quantity of
deals, baulks, battens, &c., most of which are destroyed.
In the confusion, we are unable to ascertain the exact extent
of the damage, but, we believe, upwards of 20 houses, besides
granaries and warehouses, are destroyed. Great fears were
at one time entertained for the safety of Mr. W. Bayley's
ship-yard, where several large vessels are building ; but, the
wind shifting, it happily escaped. It was at first currently
reported that a sailmalcer, named Sherman had perished, but
we believe, the report is without foundation. A very large
quantity of grain is destroyed, and the time we write a heap
of coals, about 120 tons, is on fire, with about 400 quarters
of malt on the top
of it. The premises, the property of B. B.
.
Catt, Esq., are, we understand, insured ; but Mr. Horn's
stock was not. The principal part of the corn destroyed
belonged to T. Cobbold, Esq., and is, we believe, not insured,

" STRAWS THROWN UP," &C.--It will be remembered
that in Sheridau's play of " The School for Scandal" Charles
Surface, in order to ' raise the wind," sells the family por-
traits, amongst which are those of a mayor and two aldermen,
of Norwich, Careless acting as auctioneer. On Saturday
night this play was brought out, with a strong cast, at the
Theatre-Roytd, Mr. Charles Mathews playing Charles Sur-
face, and Mr. G. Horneastle Careless. In the scene alluded
to, in disposing of the mayor and aldermen, Mr. Horneastle
exclaimed—" Going, going, gone ; there, rue knocked down
the mayor and corporation." Whereupon an immense cheer
burst from all parts of the house—not an ordinary manifesta-
tion of approof, but a loud, general, and simultaneous shout,
which was repeated again and again, with redoubled energy,
when a few faint hisses were heard to proceed from some
galled and irritated pro-corporators. Quoad the soi-disant
corporation it was but too evident " which way the cat
jumped."—Manchester Courier.

EXTRAORDINARY INVASION.—A few days ago, a person
named Thomas Leyland, a labourer, residing at No. 66, Al-
bert-street, in this town, had occasion to be absent from
home for about a quarter of an hour, leaving, in a first-floor
bedroom, two old canaries and a nest of young ones in a cage.
On returning home he heard a fluttering up stairs, when, on
going to see what was the. matter, he was surprised and
somewhat alarmed to find a large wild hawk in the act of
killing the last of his birds. He endeavoured to catch it,
but it flew out of the window and escaped him. It appears
that Leyland, who is a widower, and resides alone, had left
the window open, and the hawk having been attracted there,
probably by the singing of the birds, darted into the room,
broke the wires of the cage, and destroyed all its feathered
inmates. A more singular invaSion, to occur in the heart of
a busy town, we have never heard or read of.—Preston
Chronicle.
