`for want of water, owing to the pipes being broke up.

leads to the new houses. Taylor, the constable, who
took the parish engine, succeeded in breaking the main
pipe, and by that aeons procured plenty of water, which
forpnately saved the nerghbor.rhood. Mr. Clark's 1
house was burnt to the ground, and the roofs of three
adjoining houses were much damaged.
Extract of a letter from Manchester, Nov. 20.—The
following shocking occurrence took place at Salford
Fair, in this neighbourhood, last night. Two young
men and women left this place yesterday for Salford;
when about to return from thence in the evening, one
of the young women proposed calling upon a relation.
who keeps a public-house in the town : they accord-
ingly did so, when, after a short time, on calling for
supper, finding nothing in the house they liked. the
young men went out to procure something better. It
was tow approaching twelve o'clock, and the you*
men were returning, when they perceived a man sad
woman in a very indelicate situation in the public path.'
One of them, named Rafferty, was so indignant that
he expressed himself is angry terms to the man, who
Immediately advanced towards him, and opening a
; enknife. plunged it into Rafferty's left side. Rafferty
u tered a groan, rushed into the house, fell down, and
lawn after expired. The unfortunate person who W-
asted the wound suffered himself to be taken without
j making any attempt at escape or res.istance. He did
not appear to be conscious of what be 'had done, but
stood completely stupified, looking 'on the body as if
nothing bad happened. These are all the particulars
I have been able to ascertain the truth of. The un-
happy man who was guilty of the act, is said to be the
son of a respectable coach-maker. The Inquest is io
be held on the body of the deceased to-morrow.
An inquisition was taken on Wednesday before J.
W. Cowin. Esq. Coroner, at the Angel Inn, Eglinon-
too, on the body of an old man named Patrick Wall,
ostler at the Rose and Crown Inn, at all, above place.
It appeared that on Friday seinniglgt the main road
near the bridge at Duck-lane was renderer totally im-
passable by an immense flood to the depth of four feet,
which communicated to a ditch of great length and
depth, that emptrotal itself
i into the Lea. The inunda-
tion was caused the late rains, and the coaches
and waggons were obliged to go round a mile before
they could get on the other side. The ground floors
of several houses were knee deep in water. The de-
ceased was at Tottenham about six o'clock in the
evening, and was on his road home when he was over-
taken by • milkman named Titugarsh, who was on
horseback, and he living near the deceased, he incited
him to ride behind him, which he agreed to, and
mounted. Oa their arrival at the flood they were met
by a cart loaded with bay in the middle of the water.
The horse which they rode shied at the cart, and the
deceased slipped off into the water. The impetuosity
of the current 804 D carried the unfortunate man away
into the ditch ; he was beard to cry " Lord, have
mercy upon me!" but in a moment he was lost. His
jelly Wog picked up a mile beyond where he fell, and
had bees carried ander several arches ; his head was
cut in' several places by being knocked against the
brickwork of the arches as be was carried through.—
The unfortunate man had resided at Edmonton for
the last forty years, and bore an exemplary character.
He has left a wife and five children.—Verdict--Acci-
dentally drowned.
DAZADIPUL SIVICIDIC.A melancholy circumstance
took place at the Greyhound Inn, Newmarket, last
week. Two young gentlemen, E. M.,, Esq., and his
brother, arrived at the above house, from Cambridge,
and -pent the day there. Between seven and eight
o'clock in the evening they prepared to return; the
waiter brought in their box-coats, when the younger
gentleman desired him to be careful how be handled
them, as they contained loaded pistols. The man put
the coats down, and retired, when the gentleman who
bad given the caution took the pistols from the pockets
of the coats and laid them on the table. Mr. M. then
requested his brother to see if the gig was ready : lie
had scarcely retired for the purpose when he was alarm-
ed by the report of fire-arms. He instantly ran back,
and on entering the room found his unfortunate brother
stretched on the floor, a corpse.—On examining the
body it was found that the ball had entered the cheek,
and passed into the head. Both candles were extin-
guished. An Inquest has been held on the hotly, and a
verdict of " Insanity" was returned.—The unfortunate
gentleman appeared about twenty-two years of age, was
highly respected, and allied to a family of the first re-
spectability and property. The cause of the melancholy
catastrophe is said to have been a love affair.
BgROLARY.-At an early hour on Thursday mom
lug, the house of the Honourable Fitzroy Stanhope,
in Sloane-street, Knightsbridge, was broken open and
robbed of plate, &c. to the amount of batween 2 sod
3.)U1. The robbers, it is supposed, concealed them-
selves on rednesday night in a honse adjoining,
which isnot inhabited,and which, it is discovered. was
a'so broke open, and waited till Mr. Stanhope and the I
whole of his family had retired to bed. The robbers
effected an entrance from the garden at the back of the
house, where a small iron bar bad been forced from
the window in the back kitchen, and a square of glais
broken, which enabled them to open the windows. A
piece was cut out of the back and front kitchen doors,
which enabled them to unbolt thedoors, and in a closet
in the front kitchen the plate happened to have been
left, which very rarely occurred. This circumstance,
it is supposed, was known to the robbers. or it brio!
suspected to be what is called a put-op robbery, by
some persons who had access to the house informing
the thieves of the place were the plate was to found.
Another conjecture is, that the closet in the front
kitchen where the plate was kept, had, beep seen bribe
robbers or those connected with them, from the urea in

One of the first experimental chemists of tiepin

country, to the noxious ingredients employed 40

merone convictions in particular, that have takespls
on account of the use of deleterious drugs is ha
render it highly necessary, that heads of families sb
guard against the evil consequences attending tie'
of an unwholesome beverage. We are assured tl
the Ale, Table Ale, and Table-beer, brewed byl

superiority of his articles, and we have no dusk I

Last Tuesday Another 30,0001. was Sold is Sb

Consols was also Sold by CARROLL ; and it is et
dently anticipated that, as CARROLL is SO
fortunate in Selling 30,0001. Prizes, that Asa
will also be 504,1 by him, before the close of the
