rod broke off, net in the piece where it had been speed,

ItOOHERY•ND ATTLIIIPT TO MAE/Ml.—On Monday
night, a daring robbery and attempt to murder, was Corm-
milted at Asfordby, near Melton, on the person of
Henry flariewo9Al.about nineteen years of age. As he
was going along the street, about ten o'clock, he was
met by three strangers, who most cruelly abused and
struck him with a carpenter's axe, by which he was des-
perately cut over the fare and brad. His scull was laid
open, los ear severed from his head, his jaw-bone di-
vided, and several of his teeth forced out, and he was
left for dead. They robbed him of a pound mate, and a
silver watcli,Xo.2 77, Howard; maker, London, will, H. H.
engraved within the ease. The axe was art.-Tweeds
along with some of his te4th sad flesh, near to
llealewood's house. The axe has " Hardy " stamped
upon the iron part. The three men were observed to go
op the road towards Louelihorongli; one had op a black
glazed hat, another a small bundle in his band, wrapped
in a cloth or handkerchief, and the third had a stick
over his shoulder. They took the Loughborough-road.
and it is hoped they will be apprehended and brought to
justice for this grievous offence.—(Nottinghain lies.)

At Berwick, a Coroner's Jury have returned a unani-
mous verdict of Petit Treason against Grace Griffin, for
the wilful murder of her husband, John Griffin. The
deceased kept a hone of ill fame in this town, and this
is another Instance to be added to the recent one of Mrs.
M'Kinnon, of the cruel and murderous dispositions which
never fail to distinguish women of impure and licenti-
ous habits. We trust that the Magistracy will, for the
future, be less indulgent to these pests of society, and
that, if they cannot he entirely suppressed. they will he
more carefully watched, and, if found offending, more
severely punished than before. This investigation has
brought to light such scenes of nocturnal depravity and
debauchery, as arc truly alarming to the serious and well
disposed part of the community. tint for the evideure
adduced, which, we deem proper for the present-not to
publish, we could not have believed for a moment, that
the haunts of debauchery were so numerously attended.
We rejoice to hear that the Magistrates have in contem-
plation the adoption of measures for preventing the con-
tinuance of such disorders, and tint all houses of suspici-
ons character will be strictly watched, and occasionally
visited. Such measures cannot fail to have a beneficial
effect, as those who have not lost all regard to character,
will hardly expose themselves to the risk of being found
in the company of the most worthless and most aban-
doned.—(Berieick Paper.)

Bueherglep May fair was ,belt] May 9, and the town

show in the market, and the holders were fullyasvere of
the late seasonable rains and of the good state of the
grass. Purchaser: appeared in numbers, and the ben,
that is those that would be first ready for the shambles,
were first htught. Prices varied according to the aze
and condition of the beasts from Si. to 9!., and there
was an advatice of front 10e. to 20:. a bead. Ilpita an
average, lean stork would ran from 4: Gd. to at. a sten-,

a more plentiful supply of horses. Young mu it draueld
borsei were particularly in request. A reunites of East
country dealers attended, who took them off in hats of

sore of country work, brought from 30 to $4/. The hest
horse in the market brought 40/. On an average good
draught horses sold at about t Riding !MOWS were

average up at least ten per cent.
The first Summer Fair of this Town was held on Mon-
day: we never recollect arty that was better attended

at a considerable advance; and what is far better, the
country people who attended the fair, seemed metre ie.
tent upon their business, sod that alone. Every one
appeared satisfied with his neighbour, and they all went
home in perfect good humour. We really pride o.tr-
selves upon this hippy state of our counts, and ise sin-
cerelyhope that nothing may arise, at any time; to ie-
, terrupt its tranquillity.—(Corr/new Poss.)

About a quarter past twelve o'clock on Saturday night
the inhabitants of Calvert-street, in this city, were
alarmed by a cry of flies, which was discovered in a small
yard at the back of some new buildings, now erecting
for Mr. Francis, manufacturer, by Mr. J. Hardy, hriel:-
layer. It was occasioned by a considerable quantity
nnslacked lime being laid against a boarded loan-to, ex-
posed to a shower which fell at that time ; the heat or-
casioned thereby set fire to the boards, and was com-
pletely in flames before it was discovered, and commie!.
tate!' to the door and window frames of a tenement a !-
joining to Mr. Aram- Ilrown-'s, surgeon, occupied by
Harmer. his wife, and a lodge,, who attempted to
descend by the staircase, which WA% next the windows.
but found it imposdble, from the violent heat and sin Ace;
they then went up to the garret, and, in the gr.lt. st
agony and distress, called for the assistance of ladder.;.
Providentially (by the activity of the neighbours and A
pump well supplied being in the yard) the lire was gat
under, and Harmer and his family were released from
peril. We cannot pass over this accident without e,pe, -
bating the conduct of those employed in the building.
in suffering lime (in an tinslacked state) to be plats ort
against boards, and exposed to the rain. The fires that
took place at Ketterineham Hall, and on Mr. Dunnirg-
ton's premises, in St. Faith's lane, some years ago, arri
in various other instances, were imputed to the SAM'
cause. We have been thus minute in describing the
above with a view to excite more attention on the part of
those employed in buildings (to where lime, in an es-
slacked state, is deposited,) and a desire to preventif pot'
sible, the danger which may arise from snch ioeeensable
carelessness.—(Normicla Mercury.)
M &TERN AL. SOLICITUDIr.—A most remarkable instaetee
of the fondness with which birds protect their vole;,
occurred a short time since at Witneswoald, in Lcic-t-
-tershire. A gorse covert had been intentionally set art
fire, and after the conflagration was over, the nc4 of 3
'thrush was observed suspended nn a gorse bones, is
which were found several young ones, half searched to
death, and above her dying brood was seen the aift.ction-
ate dam completely burnt to death. The poor bird pre-
served, even in her burnt state, the attitade of maxim*
solicitude for her young!
In the course of the last week the moaning of a deg
was heard to proce,ed from several openings of the so!-
terranean passages, which it is u ell known extend ender
the greater put of this town. At length the noise be-
came confined to the yard of Mr. Boldero's bottle on the
Angel HUI, Bury, who after sever tl days was so dis-
Imbed by the noise that he humanely ordered the sewer
'to be opened. The workmen uncovered a c
space to no purpose, and left the premises without mak-
ing any discovery, and fully persuaded that th s noise Iran
