LUCKY ESCAPE.-A day or two ago the child of MoTns. Maison, Rue Greneta, Paris, while playing at a window, lost its equilibrium, and fell from a third story into the street. At this very instant a washerwoman happened to be passing with a bundle of hnen; the child fell on the bun le, and thus miraculously escaped being dashed to pieces. We have received an account of the proceedinrs of the Orangemen at Arklow on the 12th of July, of which conflicting ac- ounts had been publisied. They assembled, we are told, under the immediate direction of a Magistrate. They gontinued firing the whole night. Our readers already know that a man was shot on that night. It appearedl on the inquest, which sat for the better part of two days, that ball-cartridge had been served out to the Orange party on the evening of the 12th. The deceased was a barony con. stable, and tylerofone ofthe lodges. The verdict was thiat the s,hot was hred by one of his own party. It was probably accidental. -Coric Chtronicler. It ii with great pleasure we have to state, that the entire of the county Kerry, which was proclaimed in February, 1822, has been relieved from the operation of the Insurrection Act. This rounty has been for some time in a state of tranquillity. and in- deed has been restored to peace by the ordinary process of the laws, | and of the new constabulary. The public will remember that the intteriel of the county Kerry police is rsomewhat different from that of the other countIes. The constables have been formied from the people of Kerry by the rlagistrates. The majority of them are Ca- tholic, and we are not aware that any instances have occurred of tnose police outrages which have taken place in other parts.- Dmblin Evenitg Post. About one o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the house of hlr. Hodges, the oilman 94, Union-street, in the Bo- rough, and from the nature of tlae property therein, burnt with great fury, and communicated to thc house, 93, occupied by ZAr. )Dennison, the grocer, which, along with the forner, was reduced in a short time to a heap of ruins. The fire extended to the house of Mt. Aaron. a tailor and draper, on one side, and that of Mir. Passenger, a large china-warehouse, on the other and both houses received damage, although the property vras saved. The timber-yard of Mr. Alarsiand, the builder, was at onetime on fire, but, by the great exertions of the firemen, it was confined to a small portion of the yard. No sarious injury was re- ceived by any one. The fire was completey got under by half-past two o'clock. Yesterday morning Mr. William Hayes, of Broadway, St. Thomas's, a respectable tradesman, dropped down, on leaving his own door, and instantly expired. He had experienced a slight attack of apoplexy somey,thort time previous, though in appearance no predisposition to sueh fatal visitation seemed to exist, being tall and of slender make rather than otherwise: he was about 40 yeeas of age. krratznm.-Honfleur was printed for Hmerfteer in our Paris letter inserted in yesterday's paper. [AdvertisemenLt-_' o TourtISTs.-Grsy's lXew G,uide to the lRoads will be found a very useful companion, poseessing, as it does, peculiar featares of utility and ready reference: for instance, it brings into one point of view tbIe various lines of route leading to any required point of distance; and the index is so arranged as to en- abe a direct and immediate reference to any required route, at what- ever princinal town or watering-place the traveller may happen to be -an important feature which has long been wanted in ituneraries. Another, and not its least recommendation, ia, that it is compressed within the limits of a pocket volume; added to wlhich, its general plan renders it a very usefal auxiliary to other road-books, without any attempt to supersede them.
