Accordingly she kept (• ending me out withh _« r clothes to pledge . This was about last Saturday forming * , but others were taken about three _wetks _btfo-o . She told me H was to pay her landlord , bnt instead of tbat , when sho received the money and tha tickets she told me she wonld take them to Mr * Robins , of Oxford-street , _shoemaker . On last Thursday wtek a young man called opn Hiss _Bsanmont , and took ber out , os * . h « y said , ro ihe _Haymarkes _Thentre . On that day , before thty went , she agreed _wltbBjxttr to set fire to _tbekoste , but

When Miss Beaumont was gone , he turned to me , end said if he could get £ 59 to do it , h ° would not do such a thing and he would go offlnto tbe country before she could pull him np for tbe money . H « then went away . Io tho course ef the day I heard Misa B _.-samont and the young men tn conversation about setting fira to the house The jouug man said to ber , get £ 3 worth of powder and put it in some greaey paper , and plsce it near tbe fire , and It will _blaw the roof up .

Attempied Murder . —Tunbridge-Weli . 9 _, Friday Night—Considerable excitement prevails iu the neighbourhood at the present time , in consequence of a man named Samuel Tompkins having cut the throat of his wife with a razor , and so seriously injured her that it is doubtful whether she will ever recover . It _appcats that a few days back , as the superintendent of police was passing by the house occupied by the unfortunate woman , the husband
came up to him and said that his wife had cut her throat . The officer entered the building and found the woman lying on the floor in a pool of blood and three wounds in her throat . The man said , 'So help me ; God ; I did not do it . ' A surgeon having been called in , examined the wounds , and at once pronounced them to have been inflicted , not by the woman but _byianother person . Upon being questioned , the woman as well as she could articulate , said that' her husband had cut her throat with the
j _azw which was lying at her side , and which was covered with blood . The man was therefore taken into custody , and having been taken before the magistrates , he was remanded for a month , to see whether or not his wife will recover .

The passenger answered , ' I payed roy ticket a' the . way to Coupar , and I am sure I am not half roads yet . ' On being convinced that he was a dozen , miles beyond th original destination , the poor man walked away in
