      My FRrEKD 3 , —I don't know that I was ever eaBed npon to discharge a more pleasing or erate / hl duty than drawing for yon . a short sketch of the Character , the bearing , the appearance , the conduct , and thankfulness of the six Colliers trio were liberated J > 7 &g able lawyer and Consitulional Judge , Mr . Janice Patteson , on Sunday nomine last . The Star has so thoroughl y riddled the whole ease , and has bo boldiy commented npoo the conduct of aH thBjarbes concerned , thai 2 shall confine myself to the simple narration of what I saw and heard on the day of labour ' s greatest tritunt ) h . ' Mr .

      Boberts , after a week ' s unremitting toil , slavery , and anxiety , and after three night ' s travelling oat ofeix . arriredj with Ms men , at sis o ' clock on Saturday morning . Be was shortly ^ fter , half a sleep , half awake , at my bed Bide , hallooing out * ' Pve brought them—Fro brought them , and inow for the law . " Yoamay ie sore that I -wasamdoxiB to hear of the result , when about half-past eleven , J&r . Roberts walked into my sitting-room and pointing to the street , said " There thev sre . " * What , oat" said 1 ? " Yes , " he replied , " all right / 9 Whereuponl invited them as my guesti , and eet t&enniown to a good breakfast . As soon as

      eTerythm / pras prepared the csrsnitixs sat round the table , and desired the most respected of their comrades to ask a blessing before they . commenced . This done they ate heartily—one poor fellow , however , bang seized wiih a shivering St . Their ihsnkssjTings for their liberation -were humble , zealous , and incessant , while not a word of denunciation of after masters , viewers , or magistrates escaped their lips ; their greatest pride appearing to be the manner in which Mr . Roberts has advocated their cause before the Durham Jnstices , and the difference benreen the mildness of Mr . Justice Patteson and the anger of the Duriam Justices . They frequently exclaimed one to the other , " Well , friends , there ' s nothing like the law ; let ns alwa-ys

      now stand by God . and the law , and weul be safe , whether we are in prison or cut of it . " When they had done breakfast , they returned thanks with becoming gratitude , when one of the youngest , pointing to an old man . said to me , " Look , Sir , there's a man that got 3 id . for three day's work . " " Js that so , " said I . " Yes , Sir , " he replied , it ' s / true . " "And hew old are yon , " * a id , I . * Iam £ &y-foHr , ijai 3 . Jie , sad my name is Singlewood , and I never was before Jud ^ e or Magistrate in all that time , rlU this last torn , but although Ishivered like a child when I went before the Jndge , I took . great heart when I heard his Toice and saw our General there , smiling , ' * pointing to Mr . Roberts . Thomas Southern said lhat he was iif ty-fonr too , and was

      forty-six years woBKEiC 15 a pit . and never was before Judge or Jury before . " Well , " said Harwood , " jon see , friends , that good character never does a man any harm , for though I ' m not so old , there's my character ( handing me a written document ) for six years , and wien I snowed it to JMajor "Wemyss , when I was sent to prison he gaTe me half-a-crowu . " Nothing could be better than the character this man prodoced , As our acquaintance increased one of the men , after considerable whispering and hesitation , asked me if they might be allowed to lave a Emoke . I told them that it was a thing that I never permitted , but in order that their comfort should not be abridged in anything , I gaTe them permission , and was very speedily enTeloped in a dense eload of smoke . I Ehould state that upon

      questioning ibem as to the treatment they receiTed from the . governor of Bui-ham Gaol , th * y all joined in their expressisn of thankfulness to that officer . They said that while he shewed them no favour which was not sanctioned by the rules of the prison , yet he administered them with so much humanity forbearance , and apparent reluctance , as convinced them that if in his power he would make a distinction between them and common felons . They further lold me thai he had done everything in his power to make them comfortable on the road , by providing them with good great coats , and otherwise taking care of them . Although the Colliery to which they were bound had struck work , with whst they considered jnsi and sufficient cause , they nevertheless appeared very much frightened at the idea of a general strike .

      Their reason for sanctioning the strike of the Thornley Colliery was very simple , plain and reasonable . They said that it tras much better to remain idle without earning anything , than to be held responst-le for more than they earned while at work . Aiur the ceremony of eating was over , and having discussed the case agaii > and again , they proposed to see the curiosities of London , ard I sent mv Secretary to escort them . They visited the " Queen ' s Palace , and said that it Tras larger than all the Colliers houses of 'ilorniey put together , but thut y tt It would be but a cold place without Icoals . They subsequently visited all that was worth seeing , and at nine o ' clock took their departure for Durham . The generonB masters having imposed upon four of them , two of whom were 54 years of age , thehardship of travelling a large portion of Friday , all Friday Bight , and all SatnrdsT nisht . together with the

      unnecessary expense . 1 should like to know wbeiher the masters and the magistrates felt satisfaction or sorrow jhat these poor fellows were enabled to eat UhJe-j , ¦¦ iTt ^ n . iTiiiu j ^ j / arewith their wives , instead y of eating ** £ killy"Tn tne fe ^ roD . I fcnow that for my part I so heartily rpjoiee at their success , that I took a whole he ? acay t > n Saturday , a ttnng that has not fallen io my lot for many years . I trust that the value" of their triumph will neither be lost or nnder-raied . sad that the Colliers generaUy vriU Eee the necessity of doing thai which for eight years I haTe been endeavouring to force upon the Chaitist bo £ j , namely , the establishment of a Defence Fund , which wiil enable them to take advantage of the law , which they may rest assured , when coming from the right source , will protect them against the tyranny of the masters , and the ignorance of magistrates .

      I see that the organs of the masters are endeavouring to force the men into a premature strike , ftow I tell them that it is their duty and their interest io resist all sacb attempts- One of the objects in view is , in order to weaken the ease -which M * Duncciabe will be prepared to submit to the House of Commons , in little more than a month from this timtjand the answer to which , shon ] d the men be-on strike , would be , the House cannot interfere as the Collier * ACTING TZMXEK THE ADT 1 CB OF ARTFUL ASD DESIGNING MEN" have

      abaiidoned work and violated all those obligations bj which they were bound to their employers- Let the men £ m return to work , and then the House wDl be prepared to entertain their complaints . . I say , therefore , that in justice to themselves—in JDit iceto _ their Jesal advistr—who ha ? urged me to impress it upon the men , and in justice to their friend and parliamentary advocate , Mr . Duncombe , who paid th « m the compliment logo amongst them and hew their complaints , they mnsi # nard against any &cj which would tend to weaken his hands while contendin g for their rights .

      -Tbe Chartists are only now beginning to recover from the strike of 1842 , and I trust that theirsufferrags will be a warning to their brethren the CollierB , I xemain your faithful friend ,-FEABGrs O'Cossob ^

      IRISH L&NT 3 LORDS—INFAMOUS CASE—THE NOTORIOUS O'DBISCOLL AGAIN ! The Cork Reporter of Dec . 19 th refers the commUsioaera to the following most disgraceful case , which came on late on Friday night at Macroom Beseions . after tie arms' registry had terminated :

      Before Mr . J . Mood ? , Assistant Barrister . Matthew Sullivan and Cornellns Snllivan were placed at the bar , charged with having rescued a opw distrained for rent dne to Mr . Alexander T .

The prisoners would not allow him to impound the cow , and took her a way .

      Cross-examined by Mr . P . O-Connett—V 7 aa not assaulted , injured , or abused , except by saying , ¦• The devil a one of yon stall take the cow . " Knows the tenantB are in the Iiabit of signing bills in the bank for the rent due , and thinks they are askel to do so before the rent falls due ; heard prisoners had algneda bill for rent , and believes Mr- CDriseoll pnt the bill in the bank and got money upon it Thete was rent due besides i there were three half-years' rent due ; the time * oi paying the note in the bank had not arrived when I distrained the co * . _ ( SEBBBtlon . ) . •¦' ,.

      Witness—They stole seme . I only took a-way 46 loads ; I took tbtm to Skibbereen and put them in a garden near Mr . ODiiicoIl ' s beuse . Did cant them ; cant tell the day ; himself and two or three more attended the cant Witness was auctioneer and bid ateo . Was not the bnjer , but afterwards got the potatoes himself . Sold eTery six "weights for Sd . —( Great sensation , during which two highly respectable' members of the Court left tbe bench ) . Mr . O'Connell—And , gradous God ! did you not also take the straw upon which the wretched families slEpt ? Witness—I did sot take tbe straw npon which tbey slept , but I took a sack of straw which waa outside- * ( sensation > And did tbey not offer up the farm to Mr . O'Driscoll ¦ whe n he mined them ?

      Witness—They one morning offered it —( Great sensation . } I was not imprisoned by > Ir . O'I > riBcoll for not swearing in his own case . It was Dinneen was incarcerated . Mr . Galway—Ton said that you distrained potatoes and straw before the bill became due ; why did yon do so ? Witnesb—Because I heard that \ he prisoners were top-dressing their corn . Mr . Galwey—Exactly so . Mr . O'Connell—Was it not by the produce of the corn they -were to meet the bDl ? Witniss—To be snre ; I suppose so . Mr . O'ConnelL—Exactly so . ( Laughter . )

      3 Jr . George Bird , examined by Mr . Fitzmaunce . —Is agent to Mr . ODriscolL The ytarly rent of the prisoners is £ 22 . Directed tbe last witress to distrain becansehe heard they were top-dressirig their cern , and because they o ^ td a gal » of rent not included in their bill They owed , including bill and ail , twelve months rent . Is ilifts of that . Cro * s- * xsmined by Mr . O'Connell- —When Hurly Bwore that the prisoners owed three gales of rent , he swore that was untrue . Mr . ODriecoll is in the habit of raising money on bis tenants bills , because he pays large head-ienis . In the note passed by the prisoners several otier tenants had joined , and of course the amount was much larger" in this bill than the amount which they ovted . Did pass the bill into the provincial bask .

Witness . —Certainly not . Mr . O'Driscoll allows me to act as I please . The -witness then left the table , ard

      Mr . O'Conrell said—Gentlemen of the Jury , the last question pnt by the Crown prosecntor shofvs you the nature of the case . It is so disgraceful that the odium is sought to be placed on tht > agent , to shelter the princ : pal , I could understand and cculd credit the excuse if , in this Court , Mr . OUrUcoll bad ( upon healing the facts sworn to to-day ) * aid , ll I was itncrant of tfee real facts of thiB case until now , and I now give up tbe prosecution . " He had not done so , and so between principal , agent , and driver , let tbe disgrace and tbe odium be shared . 0 ! fentlemen of tbe jury , you have often heard the fine sentences of fine gentlemen respecting tha ffintn&l and reciprocal kind feeling which shonld exist between the landlord and tenant ; and to-d » y you have demonstrated before yon the mean * by which that desirable object is to be iLculcated on the part of the

      landlords , by first procuring tie note ot the tenant , then taking cis last potato and iris bed of straw , and then taking him from bis wretched family & distance of thirty-five miles , to be prosecuttd by landlord , agent , and driver . Go * d Gsd . ' is there ne sympathy for the wretched , or where is this system to end ? O . ' we have a commission sitting in Dublin , with Lord Devon at its head ; bat tbe men -trho conld giTe information , who conld describe eases like tbe present , "will not be examined , and the commission will not effect any good . Gentlemen , I am afraid to trust myself in going ever a recital of the persecution of tbeBe wretched men , and would be unwilling to say anything disrespectful _ of Mr . O'Driscoll . But , gentlemen , do you do whatis in your power ; let them return home to their wives and children , wretched , destitute , and miserable as they are . The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoners ^

      village of CaBbel , tbey found that the meist part ol the houses were closed , the cattle having been all driven into them . Some few of the people paid thfjr rate , and others promised to do so as soon as they could . WMle the collector was in the act of seizing some oats in stack , in order toJLave them , reinovfediiff carts provided for the pmpcie , the parieh prfeBt , the Bev . Mr . Henry , came up and required to know from the collector why , or for whose debt , he attempted to take away the oats . Tbe colkctdr replied that he did not 1 mow the name of the person to whom the oats belonged , but the occupiers of all the surrounding houses owed rate . This would not satisfy his reverence . He got very angry at the attempt which , he said , was made to destroy a poor man's property ,

      and he called upon tbe stipendiary magistrate to protect it—to save jt from the xutbleBs hands of the collector . The magistrate stated in reply , that he had nothing to do with that part of ; be bu 8 ine 8 s ^ -tbEt bis duty was merely to see that the collector got all tbe protection he required in the discharge of what be considered to be bis duty . This answer did not please bis reverence at all , for he warned the magistrates and the officers in command of the force that there would be proceedings taken against thtm for an illegal distress or trespass . Seeing that this threat had no effect , Ms reverence addressed himself to the collector , and with him he was more successful , ferafter some conversation with him aside . hedeclined

      to take away the oats of " the poor man . " Tbe carmen , too , -were Befzed with the same humane compunction , ^ ind they said they would not carry away any goods seized . The magistrates told them that if they did not tbty would not be paid . They replied that they did not care , and " would not put tbe country against them for all they could get as wages . " The people about , seeing the favourable turn tbat affairs took after bis revtience ' s arrival , many of them now declared their determination not to pay , and all the doors were at once closed , the cattle being secured . What was to be done now ? Nothing , but to march away tbe military and police , which was done ; the collector having , after tbe day ' s campaign , succeeded in getting some 13 s or 14 s of the rate .

      AHM 1 XG IN THE NORTH . A Longhbrickland correspondent states that a large quantity of arms had been collected in Tanderagee Castle , the seat of the Doke of Manchester , from whence tbey have been distributed amongst tbe Orangemen of some EeigbbomJDg districts . Another correspondent mentions that Lord Roden has received a large supply of arms at Tollymore Paik , which h * ve not yet been distributed . —Evening Post . In the Orange organ of that county , the Fermanagh Reporter , we find tbe following : —

      Protestant Organization . —We understand that a large and influential meeting of tbe gentry and most respectable of the Protfetaut yeomanry of the barony of Magheraboy , was held in the large school room at Le- ? elly , on Thursday last , for the purpose of forming a Protestant organization in subservience to the existing laws , lhat so ^ fey their nnion , they might more effectually support tbe connexion between these kingdoms , and at tbe same time afford protection and confidence to individuals residing at a distance from military succour , shonld such at any time be requisite . We understand that among those present tkero were toi-d r , ortu * ( who presided ) , Thomas Nixon , Esq ., Rev . X . Bea *? e , Messrs . A . -Trotter , GeoTge Rogers , [ John Nixon , B . Weir , Thomas Elliott , —— - Skelton , 4 c ., and almost every person who was formerly connected with the late Orange society as efficers in the district .

      The utiiost unanimity prevailed on the occasion , and one and a 31 fxpiersed their stern resolve to preserve at any hazard the connexion bttween this country and Great Britain . Several most excellent speeches were made on tbe occasion , all breathing tbe most devoted loyalty to the Sovereign , and a determination never to surrender , but with their lives , tho blessings which ttey , in common , enjoyed under the British constitution . Resolutions were also adopted to carry out tbe object of tbe meeting .

      TOBMIDABLE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PEASANTRY AND 1 HE R 1 BB 0 NMEN . The " Billy Smiths , * ' the new designation of the Ribbon confederacy , denounced in Mr .. O'Connell ' s recent address , ha-ve become very daring in their operations . In the Roscomman Journal ( a Repeal paper ) ol Saturday last , we find tbe following account of a severe coiflict between a small party of countrymen , whose houses were attacked , and an armed gang of

      Ribbonmen : — " On Monday night last , an armed party of about forty ruffians attacked tbe dwellings of an industrious set of men of tbe name of Gfibbonses , at Fairymount , for tbe purpose of swearing them to reduce the rent ef seme conacre ¦ which they had set a few days previous . Having heard some shots , and suspecting that a visit would be paid ttnui , tbe gallant little band ( consisting of seven men ) armed themselves with pitchforks and met the rnarandera who , it appears , bad fire-arms . A desperate coi . flicfc ensued , and the Qibbonses were obliged to shelter themseVvesin one of thehouseB , which

      they barricaded , and defended till every one of them were desperately wounded . Tbey then betook themselves to the loft , where tbey also fought gallantly . The Bibbonmen demolished every article in tbe house after they obtained an entrance . Three or four of the leaders of the Ribbonmen were dangerously wounded with pitchforks whilst forciDg the door . Upwards of fourteen of them have been arrested and fully identified . The brave little party were taken into this town , where the best surgical attendance is given to them . This portion of Fairymount is the locality where the celebrated ' Billy Smith * domiciled bimeelf for some time

      previous to his arrest This determined and successful resistance , by the gallant family of the Qibbonses , will have an amazing effect in paralyzing the new Ribbon confederacy . The Fortifications . —It is stated that Government has given directions to an officer of engineers to inspect the Castle of Leighlin-bridge , with a view , if practicable and necessary , of putting it in a state ef repair suitable for the accommodation of a military party . General Cobrt-Martial .-A general courtmartial , of which Major-General Wyndbam is to be president , is ordered to assemble at Newry , oil Thursday next , for , the trial of three officers of the 63 rd Regiment * The Finn ob Ot trace . — Mrs . Waller continues in very delicate health at Finnoe House , and is unable to be removed to Kyle-park , tbe seat of her son-in-law , Mr . Stoney . iarfdn , tbe butler , is still snffering from

      his -wounds . ., The Cork Gdardiaks have resolved npon sending out 166 paupers from the workhouse , as emigrants to Australia , tbe greater number young women . The cost to the Union will be 47 a-head , while their maintenance in the -workhouse averages £ 9 a-year . IN THE WEST OP Clare apprehensions are felt for the potato crop . It was short of an average crop this year , and the continued wet weather baa damaged the potatoes in pit . The Weather . —To those who place faith in the Moverb respecting the consequences attendant npon a » neen ChriBtmaa , " it may be of some interest to learn , that within the recollection of the publicsi old friend , the " oldest inhabitant / ' there has never been witnessed such glorious , although unseasonable weatner , as that which has marked tbe month now nearly pMt , and which for warmth and frequent bursts ol suDshme more resembled an unuwally genial September than the cold and cheerless Decembers of other years .

Tbe Coast Guard galley also snove off shortly afterwards , manned by Edward Kimberley , William Roose , William Cutbeard , Giles Sullivan , and Jeremiah Nogle , in tbe earnest hope of saving some more of the poor sufferers , but their efforts were unavailing . It is supposed that tbe men must have heen entangled in tbe nets ; Tnat their efforts were not unaccompanied with danger may be imagined from the fact , that Lieutenant Dobine , R . N ., the chief officer of the Coast

      Guard , in endeavouring * to push off with some more of bis men , was capsized , and to merciful God must be alone ascribed that he and his comrades were not also consigned to a watery grave . We are happy to hear he has escaped with some contusion on the back . Every one present bore loud testimons to the courage , daring , and humanity of the Coast Guard , by which , under Providence , is to be ascribed to life of one of their fellow-creatures . They nave added another to the many proofs of their zeal , and have increased the debt of gratitude due alike to the officers and men by the people of this vicinity , and I trust their exertions wilt be favourably received by the heads of tkeir department .

      Alleged ' Rebeccaism" in Angliset . —We have received an anonymous communication , dated Llanddausant , December 20 , which states , that at one o ' clock on the morning of Tuesday last , about forty nativo " Rebecoaites" assembled in the peaceful village of Llanddausant , being summoned by the sound of horn and firing of guns ; that they then proceeded ! in good order and array , armed with bludgeons and branches of trees , to the house of D . WM shopkeeper , where two bailiffs were in possession of the goods and chattels , under execution from the North and South Wales Bank , of Holyhead ; that having entered the house by bursting

      open the back door , Dame Rebecca bolted up-staira , followed by a few other daughters , * nd ordered the bailiffs , who were snug in bed , to be up and trotting in five minutes , under penalty of a severe drubbing ; that ready obedience having been yielded , the men were merely driven forth , under the surveillance of a body guard , occasionally , however , pinched and pushed , and even ridden on , by the wanton daughters of Rebecca , an ^ suffered to depart to their homes , on a sinee ' re promise of not returning ; ThiB is the Bubsta ' ace of the account sent us ; but , for the honour of North Wales , we hope the affair is a fiction , altogether . —Carnarvon Herald ,

      Death of an Informer . —Considerable excitement has been caused in this county by the circumstance of tho finding of the body of Mr . Thomas Thomas , of Panty-cerrig , in the river Brechfaedd , near Brechfa . It will be remembered , that some time since Mr . Thomas gave information , against some neighbouring farmers' sons for a rioj and assault upon him while ; under the guise of Rebeccaites , On that occasion Mr . Thomas attended Carmarthen in order to give his evidence , and on his reiurn to his home he found it in a blaze . On Tuesday moraine Mr ' . Thomas ' s corpse was found in the river

      Brechfaedd , which is a very email stream , having a rocky bed . His body wafl lying in the water , which at no part was more than fourteen inches deep , while his head aud one of his arms did not appear to have been in the water at all . There was a Bevere contusion on the left side of his forehead , hut this was the only mark of violence . Near the spot where he was found is the trimk of an ash tree thrown across the stream , at a height of about seven feet from its bed . Across this Mr . Thomas must have passed , and he might have fallen from it , as he had been walking over a muddy soil , and the tree was a round one , aud extremely difficult to walk upon .

To avoid , as he supposed he could , the disgrace of a public execution , he ; out his throat ; but the authorities were determined that tbe "spectacle "

      should not thus be curtailed of its original extent . H ' u corpse was brought out , tied to the stake , and shot with the others . It is said , but I will not be sure that such is the exact fact , that these men were part of a regularly organised band of robbers that existed m the moantams previous to the time of Tacon , andwhiohhe either dispersed or destroyed . Recently ! some depredations of the few remaining —and they were mea of substance , having their little property and living decently—caused their arrest , trial , and condemnation .

Ifc appears that these soldiers encountered ah Euglisb captain and another person , who were asking their way through the streets ; they decoyed them into a retired spot , and robbed them , tfoxt day the captain made known the case to Oie English consul , who made an official report to the governor , who

      very soon caused the culprits to be arrested . On the tenth day from the cammisaion of the act , one of the perpetrators was executcd , ' and the ota ' ar pot into chains and hard labour for ten years . It is said that the English captain and the consul , wheit they found how severe was to be the punishment of the robbers , interceded for their lives , but the governor dedined ameliorating their sentence in any way . Blood alone could wipe out the stain upon the characterof the array , and give assurance to the peace * able citizens that protection , and not oppression , was its vocatioa .

Grant that the practice is not universal ; that only a few Coolies have been jugglibd or trepanned on board ship ; that with the majority it is—what it is supposed to be with all—a bonafide voluntary engagement to perform free work in the Wesrtndies , yet what does the exception to the uniformity of the cases prove !

      MORE FIRES ! ( Continued from our Sixth page . ) Norfolk .. —( From the Norwich Mercuay . )—Oa& of those diabolical outrages on the peace of society occurred in Necton , on the night of the 15 th hit , oa the premises of a little occupier of but a few acres of land , and the produce of three acres of wheat , two of barley , and six of hay , were all destroyed . Two barley stacks , we understand , were burned on a farm at Eccles , last week . Suffolk . —On the morning of Wednesday last a fire broke out ia the farm-buildings of Mr . Nunn , of Wattisfield , situated six miles from Ixworth and three from Bottesdale . It was discovered at four a . m ., and no doubt exists of its being wilfully ignited . The buildings being of so inflammable a nature precluded the possibility of saving any portion of them , or even four fat hogs , which were consequently suf « focated . Two stacks were also consumed . Mr Nunn was not insured .

      The heavens were again illuminated with a brilliant vermillion light at nine in the evening of Friday , indicating that a destructive firo was raging iu the parieh of Thurston ; this wa 3 the farm buildings and one of tho stack-yards belonging to , and in i the occupation of Mr . Jennings . Having been | ignited in two places , the whole was in a few ; moments one mas 3 of fare . There wa 3 only just 1 sufficient time , after the discovery of the fire , to i prevent twelve fat bullocks beiog destroyed in the j flames . No stock was burnt , except the poultry , j some of which flew into the branch&s of the trees , v * hich were afterwards burnt from the trunk , and fell , with the birds , into the flames . Mr . Jennings I was insured in the Union-office . The farmers in the neighbourhood are becoming exceedingly alarmed—many of them never retiring | till twelve , others having a regular nocturnal i watch .

      Essex . —( From the Essex Herald . )—We regret I to find that two fires have occurred within the last ; few dayp , from which there ia too much ground : to conclude that the incendiary has been at his \ destructive work in our neighbourhood . The first , broke out on Friday evening last , on the farm premises of Mr . James Speller , near High Roothing , in this county . A plentiful supply of water being at hand , the dwelling-house was saved , but the rest of tbe buildings were in the end utterly j destroyed , partly owin £ tfl tfcd mischievous act of some miscreant ; for while the engine was _ wor ' fc-| ing successfully , about eleven o ' clock , it was ! suddenly discovered that one of the hose

      had been cut transversely ; subsequently it j was found that another had been injured by the 1 same diabolical method . Thus all that the consta-[ bulary , eight of whein had arrived from different ! points , could further do was to watch the flames , I and endeavour by other means to prevent further mischief . The property consumed consisted of two . bays of wheat , two of barley , a considerable quantity of beans and other corn , all the farming implements on the premises , the brew-house , washing * house , aud their contents , and also a sow and nine pigs , and 100 head of poultry . As there is little doubt the fire was wilfully caused—it being impossible to account for it in any other way—a painful feeling of excitement has naturally been created ia the neighbourhood

      - Wigan . — On Friday night last , about eleven o'clock , a fire was discovered iu the outbuildings at Belcony Farm , Pimbo-lane , about two miles front TJphollnnd . All available means were immediately taken to prevent the threatened destruction of the property , but all to little purpose , for the flamesspread through the range of building . A barn , stabling , and other out-houses , and grain , valued at about £ 500 , were entirely consumed . It is feared that ' the fire was the work of an incendiary .
