" "We regard the work before us , the " Silent Friend , " as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series ' . > f complaints hitherto little understood , and p 24 St * J over by the majoritv of the medical profession , for what reason we are at a loss to know . "We must , however , cjiifess that a perusal of this work has left such a fa-v .-urable impression on our minds , that we not only recunimend , but cordially wish every one who is the victim of pa * t folly , or suffering from indiscretion , to profit by the iidvice contained in its pages . " —Apt and Arptis . " The Authors of the ** Silent Friend" seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are , we fear , too prevalent in the present day . The perspicuous style in which this book is written , and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage st ^ te , cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal- * " —Era . u This work should be read by all who value health and wish to enjoy life , for the truisms therein contained defy all doubt . —JFarTners' Journal . THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM . Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the pow * ers of their system , and fallen into a state of chronic debility , by which the constitutiuTi is left , in a deplorable state , " and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice , are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of sedueive error—into a gradual but total degradatisn of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decrepitude , and all ths habitudes of old age . Constitutional weakness , sexual debilitv , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions ofcertain evacuations , total impotency and barrenness are effectually removed by this invaluable medicine . Sold in Bottles , price 11 s . each , or the quantity of four in one Family bottle for 33 s ., by which one lls . bottle is saved . Prepared only by Messrs .

Tja late Dreadful Fire in Guilford Stbeet , Russell Square . — The subjoined statement of the discovery of the fire ia given by Mrs . Farey , the lady of the ., unfortunate occupier . She states that Mr . Faiiey was engaged in bjs study up to half-past two o'clock on that morning before ho retired to rest , the premises appearing perfectly safe from fire . The servants had gone to bed at a much earlier period . In the course of about two hours afterwards she was awoke by her apartment being filled with smoke . She instantly awoke her husband , and gave him a light for the purpose of ascertaining from whence it proceeded , lie nad no sooner got out ot the room on to the staircase before the smoke extinguished the light . However , he " made his way down stairs to the
apartment where he had been at study , —still he could notj detect from whence it arose ; and , perceiving the ! very great danger he was in , he retraced his steps , and securing her , made his way on to the roef , by the trap-door . By that time she had aroused the coolr , who , alarming the rest of the servants , as also herson , most of them madeUheir way through the trap-door on to the roof . As ^ regards the unfortunate page , or footman , John Robinson , he slept with another footman , named Hall , in the upper part of the house . So hasty an escape were they obliged to make that thev had Hot time to save the least clothing but what they had on at the time , their nightclothes . The lad Llall had informed her that he had made three distinct attempts to save Robinson , and
said that had it not been for the presence of mind of Mr . Farey in pulling liiih through the trap , he would havb been lost . Her sou attempted , when they were escaping , to catch hold of Robinson through the attic window , but bein ^ met by a strong body of smoke , and seeing no possible chance of saving him , he with the test of them got on the roof of an adjoining house , whore they remained for nearly a quarter of an hour in the piercing cold , ere they were removed . The building in which the fire originated is totally destroyed , with the entire of the splendid furniture , books , pictures , drawings , jewellery , instruments , < fccv Mr . Farey is insured in the Sun fire-office for
£ 1 , 500 , which it is not expected will near cover his { loss . The building is stated to be the property of a lady named llampson , residing in Berkley square , and is believed to be insured for £ 2 , 000 , but in what office is not known , Mrs . llampson being at present at Brighton . No CO , on the west side , and No . 68 , on the east , are both damaged by lire , water , and , removal . Birkmyer and Wright ( the two policemen ) are both single men , and about twenty-three or twenty-four years of age . On Saturday evening , thelmutilated remains of a body , without arms , legs , or head , the flesh being so burned off that it was impossible to identify it , was found . The shocking spectacle waa first discovered by the firemen while walking over the premises .
Additional Particulars . — On Sunday morning an attempt was made by the firemen to recover the bodies of the policeman Wright and the page , but unsuccessful , on account of the extreme heat of the ruins . Water in copious streams was thrown in during the next four or -five . hours , and in the afternoon renewed attempt *! were made to obtain the missing bodies . Some progress was made between three and four o'clock m digging away the ruins ; but they were still hut , and further search was consequently again deterred . No doubt now exists of the fact that iinir , il ' not more , individuals have iost their lives bv this sad occurrence .
Monday . —shortly before eliwon o ' clock Mr . Lloyd , secretary of the Atlas Insurance'Company , made a minute survey ot' the front and back walls of the premises left standing , itml issued ordei ** to the Fire Brigade to continue their search for the bodies of the policeman Wright ,: and Charles Jenkins , the occasional groom . The . operations were at once undertaken by twelve of the police-constables of the E division , five labourers -employed by Mi . Lloyd , and four of the l- 'ire Brigade ; and , although the burnt rafters and furniture were above twelve feet in height , by half-past four o ' clock yesterday . the several parties employed in removing it had readied within a foot and a half of the south-eastern portion of the ponderous mass . Among the articles discovered are three gold and two silver-gilt watches , a number of brass engineering models ami valuable scientific works , and
a Lfresdeu time-piece , which have been removed to Mrs . Martineaifs , No . 55 , Guilford-street . A valuable model , for making wire ropes for railways , has also been found , and tho two iron chests , weiguing twelve cw { . each ; but it is thought inexpedient to remove the latter , lest the standing walls should be shaken thereby . Seven of the firemen narrowly escaped with their lives during the conflagration . Morri ^ engineer , B 7 , or ilolborn station , with Timms , Flenimine , Carter , and Uowell , were in the front parlour , directing the branch so far as to effectually bear upon the flames , when they heard a cracking above , and instantly made for the street door , which they had scarcely passed when the whole of the upper stories fell in with a tremendous crash . Mr . Burgess , one of the surgeons of St . Giles ' s , made an examination this day of the charred trunk found on Saturday afternoon near the top ' of the ruins , and it prove * to be that of a boy ( Robinson , tho clerk ) .
inE Inquest on the Bodies . —On Tuesday afternoon , at three o ' clock , Mr . "Wakley , M . P ., the coroner for the western division of Middlesex , and a most respectable jury , assembled at tho Angel-inn , Highstreet , adjoining the church of St . ( iiles-in-the-fields , to inquire into . the deatlis of William Robinson , aged 15 ; Robert Birkmyre , aged 19 ; John Wright , aged 27 '; and Charles Jenkins , the sufferers by the late calamitous fire in Guilibrd-street , Russoll-square . The bodies of two of the deceased were found on Monday afternoon—namely , those of Robinson and Birkmyre . On Tuesday the search was resumed among the vast mass of rubbish , and the workmen laboured with great vigour . In their progress they found Mr . Farey ' s two fire-proof iron safes , which are of immense weight , ana which , indeed , materially
contributed to the falling of the floors and tho consequent loss of life ; to get them out required the united exertions of twenty men . Their contents , which consisted of valuable plates and drawings , and other property , were found uninjured . An immense quantity of books , models , < fcc , were also got out , which are stated to be of extreme valuo , and were conveyed to the new residence of Mr . Farey , in Regent-square . Many of these productions liave an Important bearing upon science , and could not have been replaced if lost ; some of them were the result of forty years ' research , experiment , and labour . At half-past two o ' clock the Tbodies of Wright , the policeman , and Jenkins , the groom , wore dug out from the kitchen , from under an immense heap of rubbish . Mr . YVakley was therefore enabled to include the whole in thi >
inquisition . The jury having been sworn , proceeded to St . Giles ' s workhouse , to view the sufferers ' remains . They wereplaced in shells , in au out * house in the yard . They presented a most melancholy spectacle . All were more or less burnt and mutilated ; and of the poor boy Robinson there was nothing left but the trunk , and that was burnt to a cinder . In the same Outhouse was the body of J . W . Saunders , of Newgate-street , who was found dead in the corner of his lodging-room , lie is supposed to have died from starvation . During the absonce of tho jury , whilst viewing the bodies , Frederick Perrier , No . 78 , fireman of the London Brigade , gave the following statement of what had occurred to hini in his endeavour to rescue the
policeman Birkmyre . He said : — " I found the deceased dead in the front kitchen at a quarter to seven o ' clock , a . m . The house wdts ^ tenanted by Mr . Farey . Deceased was about nineteen years of age . J found him in the front kitchen , his hat off , with his head towards the door , and large pieces of timber resting upon his body . I went into the back of the house , and heard a voice calling out , ' Here , here ! Help , help ' . ' I sang o ' ut , ' Where are you ? ' Tho voice answered , ' Here , here ! for God ' s sake come and save me ! ' Guided by the sound of the voice , which was about ten yards off , I crawled under the timber towards the place whence it proceeded . I got close to the front area door ; it was closed at the time , and
I called out again , ' Where are you ? Is there any one here besides ? ' Deceased answered , ' Yes , Jack . ' My companions coming up at the time the door waa broken open . We found bam lying against the dresser , which was near the window . A piece of timber , which had fallen through the ceiling , lay across his loins . He was lying on his right side , and was alive when we first saw him . It took a quarter of an hour before he could be extricated from his position , and by that time he was quite dead , " On the jury's return from viewing the bodies the coroner suggested the propriety of adjourning the inquest until the premises had been properly examined . The suggestion , after some conversation , was agreed to , and the iaqueBt was adjourned to Monday next .
COLLIEKY ExPLOSIpN NEAR MoRBISTON . — ( From ike Cambrian J— SoonRafter the workmen entered the PentrefeUn ^ ollieitf , the property of the Swansea Coal Company ; situated near Morristbh , on Monday , they were ' alarmed . ' bj an explosion of foul air in one of the headings , igni ^ by a collier named Thomas James , who was ttiost ! aevetely burnt .

head having been detached from the body by the violent concussion of air consequent upon the explosion . The coroner ' s jury / , returned a verdict of Accidental Death , with , an opinion that had the fan been worked during Sunday night , or early on Monday morning , the explosion would ; not have occurred ; that there is blame attached to the overman for not haying seen that the pit was properly cleared , and for not having employed a person sufficiently strong to work at the fan . f Apprehension | of a Notorious London Thief at Aylesburt . —A man named Wm , Evans , alias Charles Hensler , ( who is supposed to have been concerned in several textensive robberies in London , has been apprehended under singulur circumstances by
police-constable Cornaby , at Aylesbury . The prisoner , previously to being taken before the sitting magistrates , J . P . Deeringand W . Rickford , Esqrs ., and the Rev . J . Harrison , admitted to the constable that he had been a party ' to three burglaries in the metropolis —one at a silversmith' s shop , in Oxford-street , another at a watchmaker ' s , in Long-acre , and the third at Messrs . Hitchcock and Rogers , linendrapers , in St . Paul ' s-churoh-yard . When taken before the magistrates he made the following statement , to which he affixed' his name : — " I broke Into a shop at the bottom of Oxford-street , and tied up a quantity of silver teapots . jwatches , and spoons , in a sheet or table-cloth . After we had tied them up , the police came from behind the screen . One got hold of my companion , and one hold of me . My companion took up a piece of iron , and knocked the policeman down .
fie then took a knife from a shelf and he swore he would murder him . I saw the policeman put his hand over his throat ; he cut his knuckles t > vo or three times . Tile policeman who had hold of me opened the shop door and called out for assistance . I then had a desperate struggle with him , and 1 made my escape by running down Oxford-street . " . The prisoner was remanded , in order that the necessary evidence might be forthcoming . It appeared from the testimony of the policeman Cornaby , that the prisoner applied to him at the station-house , the preceding evening , to procure him a lodging for the night at the workhouse ; but from some suspicion on the part of the constable as to the real character of the applicant , the man was detained , and he then confessed that he had been engaged in several burglaries in London , and that he was anxious to tell the truth and give himself up to justice .
The late Fatal Steam-boat Accident . — Adjourned Inquest ; . — The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Sullivan and Shepherd , the unfortunate sufferers froni the collision between the Sylph and Orwell steam-boats , was held on Monday at the Eight BelLs , Greenwich ] before Mr . Carttar , the coroner of West Kent . Three models were laid on the table ; one of the Orwelli another of the Sylph , showing the damage done by the collision ; and another plain model of the Sylph , without rigging . These models were all made tp scale , and the various witnesses elucidated their j evidence by a reference to the models , and also by pointing out the place of collision on the river in a portion of it , which was also made for the occasion , On the assembling of the jury ,
Mr . Thomas Hook Mitchell , the surgeon of the parish , who had made a , post mortem examination of the bodies , was examined as to the actual cause of death . He stated that Sullivan had sustained a severe contusion of the legs , and had slight wounds also on the right side of the body , but he died during suffocation from drowning , j Shepherd had a compound fracture of the right thigh , his right arm was severed from the shoulder , and he had also an extensive fracture of the skull . The jinjuries were severer than he had ever witnessed , and death must have been instantaneous from being crushed . A number of witnesses were examined , whose evidence was in the main only a repetition of the details which have been already given to the public . The jury withdrew at half-past five to another
room , and returned at ten minutes after eix , when the foreman , addressing the coroner , delivered the following verdict : — " We consider that it was an accidental death but we also consider that the captain of the Sylp ' i is highly to blame for going at the speed he , did . "With respect to the cause or moving power oi ' lthc death of the deceased , we eohsider that must be attributed to the Orwell , but wo exonerate the persons on board the Orwell from all blame . We consider they could not avoid the collision , and that they were using due caution . It- is the unanimous wish ; of the jury that the captain of the Sylph be severely reprimanded by you . " A nominal dcodand of Is . on the Orwell was then entered ; and it similar verdict wns returned with regard to the other deceased , Shepherd .
The I'akrkidk , Mary Gallop .. —This woman , who was recently convicted at Chester of having poisoned her father , has made the following statement and confession [ to Mr . l ' enrey , the visiting magistrate of the prison , in the presence of the chaplain : — " 1 shall be 21 years ot age on the 2 nd of next March . 1 was ] born in Warrimjton , and am the daughter of Richard and Mary Gallop . My father was a joiner by jtrade . Both my father and mother were Wesltyan [ Methodists . My father was a very pious good man \ but my mother had fallen off from her religious profession . I recollect him taking me to a Sunday school at Warrington , when I could just walk . He alsojsent me to a day-school in the same place . I continued to go to these school * till I was
about nine years old . As my father could not get any work at this | time in Warrington , we went to live in Runconi , where we remained two or three years . He sent me to a Sunday and day school during the whole of that time . As his wages were very low , we went to reside in Liverpool . We lived some time at Rose-hill . I went to the Sunday school belonging to the Brunswick Cjhapel . My father afterwards removed to Mansfield-street , and sent me to a Sunday and day school in Spring-lield street . At this time he obtained work on the railroad , and we went to live at Windsor near Liverpool , j I was then about 12 or 13 years of age . I think we remained there about seven years . During this time I was a teacher in Pleasant-street Wesleyan Sunday school , and regularly attended
chapel . M y half-sister lived with us , and I used to assist her in the week with the mangle . When we lived in Mansfield-street , Liverpool , I formed an acquaintance with ; a young boy , a neighbour . He was younger than myself . When we left Liverpool for Windsor he used to come and see us . We formed an attachment . Both my father and mother were averse to his coming after me , but particularly my father . The young man was then an apprentice , and is not yet out of his time , We then went to live at Crewe . About three mbnths afterwards I went to Liverpool with my mother for a fow days . I saw the young man several times . When I returned , we used to write to each other . I have shown some of his letters to my mother , \ but not to my father . About ten
months alter we went to live at Crewe my mother destroyed herself in a fit of insanity . . When my mother was buried I went with my half-sister to Liverpool for some time . I used to see the young man . I returned to Crewe in June last , and ' asked my father to go again to Liverpool at Christmas . He said he would nfever give his consent for me to have anything to do with the young man at Liverpool . I then thought of ; going into a situation as servant in Liverpool . If I had I should have been very happy now . I heard my half-sister one day talking of a woman who had poisoned her husband with arsenic , which ; she had bought under pretence of poisoning rats , j The idea then first entered my mind of poisoning myi father , and I thought I should be at
liberty to go where I pleased , and do as I pleased . If I could have opened my mind to anybody , and had received a little igood advice , I am sure I should not have committed the crime . I did not think that I should be- detected . I considered his death would be attributed to the bowel complaint , with which" he had been afliicted for several weeks . I bought a pennyworth of arsenic , and , not thinking it would be enough , I bought another pennyworth . I made three cakes , one for my father , one for my half-sister and self , and one for the lodger . I put arsenic in the one for my father , j I did not put any in the others . If any got mixed with the flour of which they were made , it was by accident . The cakes were for tea on' the Fridav night , j Mv father did not eat his . It was
put away in the cupboard . The lodger , my halfsister , and self . j par took of the others , and were taken ill , 1 did notjput any arsenic in them . I bought some more arsenic the next day ( Saturday ] , " and mixed it with borne arrowroot . I left my father to put the milk to it and make it himself . He was taken ill soon I afterwards , and died next morning . Mary Gallop . '' As a very strong impression prevails that the young j woman is insane , and was so at the time when she jdeprived her parent of life , a petition has been forwarded to the Home-office , in order to obtain a commutation of the sentence , to confinement or transportation for life . The petition was signed by the Lord Bishop , Chancellor Raikcs , and a -great body of the clergy and gentry . Other petitions are also in course of signature . —Liverpool Albion . ¦
Melancholy Catastrophe at Limerick . —> It is most painful t 6 record the death by drowning of two fellow-creaturel , which occurred yesterday afternoon between three land four o ' clock . A young woman , named flonora ] Ryan , late of Killaloe , servant to Mr . Canty , baker , of High-street , went for a tub of water to the public fount at Bank-place , where she stood uoon the parapet wall over the river , for the purpose of placing a pail upon the head of another girl , but by some awkwardness lost her balance , and unfortunately as she ] raised the vessel fell back into the water . The tide was falling with a strong current at the time ; when the alarm was given , crowds ran to the spot , amongst whom was a resolute young fellow , amed Thomas Creice
n M' , private of the 9 th battalion of Royal Artillery , who * on seeing the poor giri struggling in the river , instantly ' threw off his cap and belt , ran down the steps of the slip adjoining , and plunging into the water swam to her assistancei She was not at the time twenty yards frota shore , tut as soon as he > neared her she suddenly caught him by the breast , ' and having then entangled nim , he lost all power , [ although he endeavoured to disengage himself from jier grasp . Both were drawn down under the sidefof the arch of the New Bridge , by the current , and a tope was quickly' lowered from the battlement , ' but unfortunately not long . enough to reach the water . The artilleryman , however , made attempts to catch hold of it , but without effect , and i

opposite the Custom-house , in the presence of hundreds of agonizing spectators , botfl sufferers sank exhausted to rise no more . This fatal occurrence caused a considerable sensation , and t&eloea -of the brave soldier who sacrificed--his life in the chivalrous attempt to save the life of a fellow creature was the topic of universal regret . What renders this sad occurrence more calamitous is , the fact that M'Creioe has left a wife ( advanced in pregnancy ) and : three children to deplore his untimely fate . He belonged to Major Rawnsley ' s company ? was twelve yeanria the corps , a native of Armagh , and an exceedingly well-conducted man . —Limerick Chronicle .
The Poaching Affray at Ceooue , — -Worcester , Sunday Night . —The unfortunate gamekeeper who was brought to the Worcester infirmary on Friday with a fractured skull and other injuries , inflicted on liim by a gang of twenty poachers early on that morning in the preserves of the Earl of Coventry ,, in the parish of Croome , still lies at the hospital in a very precarious condition . His name is Thomas Slaite , The two other men who were seriously injured by the poachers are brothers , named Compton , residing
at Kempsey , between this city and Croome .. They are in a fair way of recovery . I have just heard that one of the poachers , named Turvey , has been captured by the police . A reward of £ 50 has been offered by the Earl of Coventry ' s steward for the apprehension and conviction of the parties concerned in this outrage ; and in the printed notices issued to this effect it is intimated that an application will be mad © to the Secretary of State for a free pardon for any accomplice who may be the means of bringing his confederate to justice .

Juvesoe Depravity . —On Tuesday afternoon a fire was discovered proceeding from a stable in the occupation of an aged widow , named Gaisford , at Bulkington , about five miles from Devizes , and the flames communicating to the dwelling-house adjoining , the whole was consumed in the space of two houra . It may be remembered that some alarm was excited in this place about a year and a half ago , in consequence of the demolition of nearly the whole of the windows of Mrs . Gaisford ' s house , and of a great portion of her crockery , apparently without hands . Mrs . Gaisford—good easy woman—and her husband ( who was living at the time ) could not be persuaded but that it proceeded from some supernatural power—that it waa , in fact , the freaks of a ghost . Upon no other
person's mind , however , was there the slightest doubt but that it was the act of the grandson of the old people , an ar tful urchin , then only about nine year * of age ; and circumstances have transpired to confirm the fact . The boy has since gone by the name of "the Bulkington Ghost . " After the flames had been quelled on Tuesday , suspicions were excited that "the Bulkington Ghost" had been to work again . Superintendent Haines , -who liad been attracted to the spot from Potterne by the light which the flames produced , discovered , upon inquiry , that the boy had a day or two previously purchased some lucifer matches ; and as the stable communicated with the dwelling-house , and there being no other person in the house at the time
than the boy and his grandmother—the boy having been absent about five minutes before the fire was discovered—he felt it his duty to apprehend him . His suspicions were strengthened by tho fact , that the door of the stable , which fronts the ' yard , was fastened at the time—clearly showing that the fire must proceed from some one in the house . The boy , at about twelve at night , was taken to the blind-house , but he had not been there long before he became greatly alarmed , and entreated to be allowed to go to hh grandmother . The constable who had charge of him said he must loiow something of the fire first . The boy asked whether , if he confessed , he should be let out ? Without any promise l > eing made to him , he afterwards confessed—that he bad taken the cows to water , and that on his return he went into the stable
from the yard ; that he . then fastened the door , ap-E lied a match to the straw in the rack , and , seeing it urn , went into the kitchen and sat down by the sides of his grandmother , as if nothing had happened r adding that , lie did not think of setting the house on fire . A few minutes afterwards , a person seeing smoke issuing from the stable , endeavoured to open the door , but , finding it fastened , broke it open , when the flames broke forth with redoubled fury . On Monday morning the boy was taken before Mr . Ludlow Bruges and the Rev . Mr . Crawley , when , in the most hardened manner , lie had not only denied committing ttie act , but also said that he did not even know upon what charge he was taken up . Mr . Superintendent Haines said lie had no doubt that the boy had made the confession in the blind-house under the impression that it would be the means of liberating him . From-this
circumstance , and taking into consideration the very tender age of the boy , the magistrates did . not feel justified in committing him ; he was therefore set at libertv . He readily acknowledged to the superintendent that it was he who broke all the windows and the crockery in Ms grandmother ' s house . He stated , among other freaks , that his grandmother , had put him to bed one night , and he had lain just long enough for her to suppose that he was asleep , when he jumped out of bed , ran into her room ,. dashed bia hands through the window , and was back into his own room , in be < f , and again apparently asleep , before the old woman eould come up stairs and see what had happened . A more depraved young rascal we never heard of ; his language is shocking , and although now only a little more than ten years of age , he is the terror of the village . —Devizes Gazette .
Liverpool , Monday . — Embezzlemeht . — Housnl breaking . —A man of very respectable appearanw i named Blount , was brought before Mr . Rushton , oa a charge of having embezzled money , the property of his employer , Mr . John Lane , brewer . It appeared that he was employed jn the office , and that en one occasion he received a sum of £ 20 from Mr . John Hartley , for grains , and that he entered only ^ 15 to the credit of his ( Mr . Hartley ' s ) account . Mr . Ruslvton ordered the prisoner to be remanded .-7-Two well-known characters , named George Robinson and George Hughes , were brought up at the Police-court on a charge of havingbroken and entered the premises of Mr . Jonathan Webster , of No . 22 lioratfo-street ,
, with an intention to steal . It appeared that Mr . Webster went out on Sunday afternoon at three o clock , and that on his return , about nine , he found that the house had been entered by the kitchen window . His housekeeper made a search and found that a brooch , two cornelian ear-drops , a ring , some beads , and an American dollar had been removed from her bed-room and deposited in the attic apartment . Two policemen were then called , and after a diligent search , the prisoners were discovered in one of the bed-rooms , secreted between some bedding and a mattress . On the way to Bridewell , Hughes threw away two skeleton keys . The prisoners were committed for trial .
Horrible Death . —On Sunday evening last , a young Irishman , named John Smith , of Brookhouse , near Lancaster , employed in the ordnance survey had been partaking rather freely of liquor at a publichouse in the village , and was accompanied to Jiia lodgings , about ten o ' clock , b y the landlord , who , at his request , lighted him a candle , and , having placed it on a table-ip the middle of the room , was told by Smith that he could do very well , and accordingly bade him good night . Next morning the occupier of
the house , on rising , saw an unusual light in deceased ' s bed-room , and on going there was horror-struck at finding him stretched on the bed , quite dead , and with both his feet burnt off . It is conjectured that the unfortunate man had fallen across the bed with the lighted candle in his hand , and thus set fire to the bed clothes , which , from the peculiar nature of the materials of which they were composed , presently filled the room with smoke , and suffocated nun , the flame subsequently consuming his lower extremities-—Lancaster Guardian .
