" We regard the work before as , the " Pilent Friend , " as a woik embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood , and passed over by the majority of the medicalprofesBion , for what reason we are at a loss to know . We must , however , confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds , that we not only recorumend , but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly , or suffering from indiscretion , to profit by the advice contained in its pages . "—Age and Argus . " The Authors of the " Silent Friend" seem to be thoroughly conversant frith the treatment of a class of com . plaints which are , we fear , too prevalent in the present day .

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 seducive error—into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights -which nature wiselv instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decrepitude , and all th « habitudes of old age . Constitutional weakness , sexual debility , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , total impotency and barrenness are effectually removed by this invaluable medicine .

I have met with many other instances , in which coughs of from fifteen to twenty years' standing have yielded to its power ; but I have not heard of one case in which great benefit % at not been the reruU of a fair trial .

X CURE ! FOR ALL !' . IIOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS . EXTRAORDINARY CURE of a Case abandoned by GUT'S , the METROPOLITAN , KING'S COLLEGB , and CHARING CROSS HOSPITALS . This fiict was sworn to this 8 th daj of March , 1842 , before the-LoBD Mayob , at the Mansion House . BUMMiHT OF ATFIDiVIT . Wm . Bxooke , Messenger , of 2 , Tnion-strcet , Southwark , London , maketh oath and sakh , that he ( this deponent ) was afflicted with Fifteen Ruining Ulcers en his left arm , and ulcerated » ore » and wounds on both leg * , for which deponent was admitted an out-door patieat at the Metropolitan Honpital , in April , 1 H 1 , where be conti . nued for nearly four waeks . Uuablt to receive a cure there , the deponent sought relief at the three following hospitals : —King ' s College Hospital in May . for five w-eeks ; at Guy's Hocpital in July , foi six weeks ; and at Charing Cross Hospital at the end cf August , for some weeks more ; which deponent left , being in a far worse condition than when he had quitted Guy ' s , where Sir Bransby Cooper , and other medical officers of the establishment , had told deponent that tte only chance of saving his life was to lose bis asm ! The deponent thereupon called upon Dr . Bright , chief physician of Guy ' s , who , on viewing the deponent's condition , kindlj and liberally said , "lam utterly at a loss what to do for you ! but here is half a sovereign ; go to HOLLO WAY , and try what effect his Pills and Ointment will have , as I havo frequently Ttvitnessed the wonderful effects they have in degperate cases . You can let me see you again . " This unprejudiced advice was followed by the deponent , and a pebfect cube effected in three weeks by the use alone of HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT , after four Hospitals had failed ! When Dr . Bright was shown by the deponent the result of his advice and charity , he said , " I am both astonished and delighted , for I thought that if I ever saw you again alive , it would be without your arm ; I can only compare this cure to a charm !" ( Sworn at the Mansion House of the Citj of London , this 8 th day of March , 1842 . ) Before me , JOHN PIRIE , Mayor . In all Di 6 £ abes of the Skin , bad legs , old wounds and ulcers , bad breasts , sore nipples , stony and ulcerated cancers , tumours , swellings , gout , rheumatism , and lumbago , likewise in cases of Piles—the Pills in all the above cases , ought to be used with tho Ointment ; as by this means cures will be effectod with a much greater certainty , and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone . The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of muschetoes , sand-flic * , chiego-foot , yaws , and coco-bay . Burns , Scalds , Chilblains , Chapped Hands and Lip « , also Bunions and Soft Corns , wili be immediately cured bj the use of the Ointment . The PILLS are not only the finest remedy known when used with the Ointment , but as a General Medicine thereis nothing equal to them . In nervous affections they will be found of the greatest service .

The late Dreadful Fire in Guilford Street , RubseijL Square , — The subjoined utatement of the discovery of the fire is given by Mrs . Parey , the lady of the unfortunate occupier . She states that Mr . Farey was engaged in his study up to half-past two o ' clock on that njorning before he 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 sue 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 . He nad no sooner got out " of the room m 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 rot detect from whence it arose ; and , perceiving the very great danger he was in , ho retraced his s ; eps , and securing her , made his way on to the roef , Vy the trap-door . By that time she had aroused the cook , who , alarming the rest of the servants , as also hirson , most of them made \ their way through the trap-door on to the roof . As ^ regards the unfortunate page , or footman , John Robinson , he slept with aiother footman , named Hall , in the upper part of ine house . So hasty an escape were they obliged to nake that they had not time to save the least clothhg but what they had on at the time , their night-< lothes . The lad Hall had informed her that he had iiade three distinct attempts to save Robinson , and
raid that had it not been for the presence of mind of Mr . Farey in pulling him through the trap , he would have been lost . Her son attempted , when they were escaping , to catch hold of Robinson through the attic window , but being met by a strong body of smoke , and seeing no possible chance of saving him , he with the rest of them f * ot on the roof of an adjoining house , Where they remained for nearly a quarter of an hour in the piercing cold , ere thev were removed . r J £ hc building in which the fire originated is totally destroyed , with the entire of the splendid furniture , books , pictures , drawings , jewellery , instruments , < fcc . Mr . Farey is insured in the Sun n re-oilice 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 Hampson , residing in Berkleysquare , and is believed to be insured for £ 2 , 000 , but in what oiiice is not known , Mrs . Hampson being at present at Brighton . No 06 , on the west side , and No . 68 , on the cast , are both damaged by fire , 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 , the mutilated 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 was first discovered by the firemen while walking over the premises .
Additional Particulars . — On Sunday morning an attempt was inado by the firemen to recover the bodies of the policeman Wright and th& . page , but urisucc « ssful , on account of the extreme heat of the ruins . Water in copious streams was thrown in during tho next four or five hours , and in the afternoon renewed attempts were made to obtain the missing bodies . Some progress was made between three and four o ' clock m digging away the ruinB ; but they were still hot , and further search was consequently again deferred No doubt now exists oi the fact that four , if not more , individuals have lost their lives by this sad occurrence .
Monday . —Shortly before eleven o ' clock Mr . Lloyd , secretary of the Atlas Insurance Company , made a minute survey of the front and back walls of the premises left sending , and issued orders 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 Mr . Lloyd , and four of the Fire 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 reached 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 and valuable scientific works , and a Dresden time-piece , which have been removed to
Mrs . Martineau's , No . 56 , Guilford-street . A valuable model , for making wire ropes for railways , has also been found , and the two iron chests , weighing twelve cwt . each ; but it is thought inexpedient to remove the latter , lest the standing walls should be shaken thereby . Seven of the lireinen narrowly escaped with their lives during the conflagration . Morri * engineer , B 7 , or Ilolborn station , with Timms , Flemming , Carter , and Howell , 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 tb . is day of tho charred trunk found on Saturday afternoon near the top of the ruins , and it proves to be that of a boy ( Uobinson , the clerk ) .
The Inquest on the Bodies . —On Tuesday afternoon , at three o ' clock , Mr . Waklcy , M . P ., the coroner for the western division of Middlesex , and a most respectable jury , assembled at the Angel-inn , Highstreet , adjoining the church of St . Giles-in-the-fields , to inquiro into the deaths of William Robinson , aged 15 ; Robert Birkmyro , aged 19 ; John Wright , aged 27 ; and Charles Jenkins , the sufferers by the late calamitous fire in ( xuilford-strect , Russell-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 , and which , indeed , materially contributed to the falling of the floors and the consequent loss of life ; to get them out required the united exertions of twenty men . Their contents , which con ^ sisted of valuable plates and drawings , and other property , were found uninjured . An immense quantity of books , models , < &c , were also got out , which are stated to be of extreme value , and were conveyed to the new residence of Mr . Farey , in Regent-square Many of these productions have an important bearing upon science , and could not have been replaced ii lost ; some of them were the result of forty years ' research , experiment , and labour . At half-past two o'clock the bodies of Wright , the policeman , and Jenkins , the groom , wore dug out from the kitchen
from under an immense heap ot rubbish . Mr . Wakley was therefore enabled to include the whole in the inquisition . The jury having been sworn , proceeded to St . Giles ' s workhouse , to view the sufferers ' remains . They were placed in shells , in an outhouse 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 lodgipg-room . He is supposed to have died from starvation . During the absence of the jury , whilst viewing the bodies , Frederick Perrier , No . 78 , fireman of tho London
Brigade , gave the following statement of what had occurred to him 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 was ' tenanted by Mr . Farey . Deceased was about nineteen years of age . I 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 dut ,. ' Where are you V The 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 , ' Yea , Jack . ' My companions coming up at the time the door was broken open . We found him 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 inquest was adjourned to Monday next .
COLLIERT EXPLOBION NEAR MoRRISTON . — ( From the Cambrian . )—Soon after the workmen entered the Pentrefelin Colliery , the property of the Swansea Coal Company , situated near Morriston , on Monday , they were alarmed by an explosion of foul air in one of tie headings , ignited by a collier named Thomas James , who was most severely burnt . The workmen immediately proceeded from all parts of the pit to the seen * of the lamentable occurrence , where they found the three lifeless bodies of John Hopkin , aged 20 ; Matthew Fisher , aged 20 , both of whom were unmarried ; and Thomas Morgan , ^ boy , ten years of age , who had been most shockingly disfigured—his

head having been detached from the body by the vio ; lent 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 having seen that the pit was properly cleared , and for not having employed a person sufficiently strong to work at the fan . j Appr ehension of a Notorious London Tdhf at Atlesburt . — 'A man named Wm , Evans , alias Charles Hensler , who is supposed to have been concerned in several extensive robberies in London , " has been apprehended under siiigulur circumstances by police-constable Cornaby , at Aylesbury , The prisoner , pr eviously to being taken before the sitting
magistrates , J . P . Deeringand W . Rickfbrd , Esqrs ,, and the Rev . J . Harrison , admitted to the constable that he had been a patty 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-church-yard . When taken before the magistrates lie 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 , watches , and spoons , in a slieet 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 . He 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-two or three times . ( The policeman who had hold of me opened the shop door and called out for assistance . I then had a desperate struggle with him , and I 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 jJatal Steam-boat Accident . — Adjourned Inquest . — The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Sullivan and Shepherd , the unfortunate sufferers fromj 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 Orwell , 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 to scale , and the various witnesses elucidated their 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 &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 . Shepherd had a compound fracture of the right thigh , his right ami was severed , from the shoulder , and he had also an extensive fracture of the skull . The iniuries were severer than he had ever witnessed , and death must have been instantaneous from being crushed . A number of vritnesses were examined , whose evidence was in the main only a repetition of tho 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 six , 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 Sylph is highly to blame for going at the speed ! he did . With respect to the cause or moving power : of the death of the deceased , we consider that must be attributed to the Orwell , but we exonerate the persons on board the Orwell from all blame . We consider they could not avoid the collision , and that they were using duo caution . It is the unanimous wish of the jury th . it the captain of the Sylph be severely reprimanded by you , " A nominal doodand of Is . on the Orwell was then entered ; and a similar verdict was returned with regard to the other deceased , Shepherd .
The Parricide , Mary Gallop . —This woman , who was recently convicted at Chester of having poisoned her father , hasmade the following statement and confession to Mr . Penrey , the visiting magistrate of the prison , in the presence of the chaplain : — "I shall be ] 21 years of age on the 2 nd of next March . I was born in Warriiigton , and am the daughter of ^ Richard and Mary Gallop . My father was a joiner by trade . Both ray father ana mother were Wesleykn Methodists . My father was a very p ious good man ; but my mother had fallenoff from her religious [ profession . I recollect him taking me to a Sunday School at Warrington , when I could just walk . He also sent me to a day-school in the same place . I continued to go to these schools 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 Runnorn , where wo remsMnett two or throp yoare . 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-lull . Ii went to the Sunday school belonging to the Brunswick Chapel . My father afterwards removed to Mansfield-jrtreet , and sent me to a Sunday and day school in Springfield street . At this time he obtained Work on the railroad , and we went to live at Windsor near Liverpool . 1 was then about 12 or 13 years of Age . I think we remained there about seven years . 1 > uring this time 1 was a teacher in Pleasant-street Wesleyan Sunday school , and regularly attended
chapel . My 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 iked to come and see us . We formed an attachment , j Bothmy father and mother were averse to his coming after me , but particularly my father . Tho young man was then an apprentice , and is not yet out of his time , We then went to Jive at Crewe . About three ) months afterwards I went to Liverpool with my mother lor a few days . I saw the young man several ! times . When 1 returned , we used to write to eachj other . I have shown some of his letters to my mother , but not to my father . About ten
months after-J-we -went to live at Crewe my mother destroyed herself in a fit of insanity . When my mother was j 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 never 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 nad 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 , wliich she had bought under pretence of poisoning rats . The idea then first entered my mind of poisoning iny father , and I thought I should be at
liberty to go jwhere I pleased , and do as I pleased , If I could have jopencd my mind to anybody , and had received a little good advice , I am sure I should hot have committed the crime . I did not think that I should be detected . I considered las death would be attributed to : the bowel complaint , with which he had been afflicted : 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 . I did not put any in the others . If any got mixqd with the flour of which they were made , it was by accident . The cakes were for tea on the Friday night . My father did not eat his . It was
put away in the cupboard . The lodger , my halfsister , and self , partook of the others , and were taken ill . I did not put any arsenic in them . I bought some more arsenic the next day ( Saturday ) , and mixed it witli some arrowroot . I left my father to put the milk to it and make it himself . He was taken ill soon afterwards , and died next morning . Mart Gallop . " As a very strong impression prevails that the young woman is insane , and was * so at the time when she deprived 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 lifej The petition was signed by the Lord { Bishop , Chancellor Raikes , and a great body of the clergy and geptry . Other petitions are also in course of signature . *—Liverpool Albion .
Melancholy Catastrophe at Limerick . —It is most painful to record the death by drowning of two fellow-creatures , which occurred yesterday afternoon between three and four o ' clock . A young woman , named Honora 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 upon the parapet wall over the river , for the purpose of placing a jpail 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 .
named Thomas M'Craee ,-privateof the 9 th battalion of Royal Artillery , who , on seeing the poor girl 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 assistance . She was not : at the time twenty yards from shore , but as aoon as jhe neared her she suddenly caught him by the breast , and having then entangled him , he lost all power , although he endeavoured to disengage himself from her grasp . Both were drawn down under the side of the arcti of the New Bridge by the current , and a rope 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

The Poaching Affray at Croome . — -Worcester Sunday Night . —The unfortunate gamekeeper who was brought to the Worcester infirmary © n Friday with a fractured skull and other injuries , inflicted on him 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 . resinW
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 made to the Secretary of State for a free pardon for any accomplice who may be the means of bringing his confederate to justice .

Juvenile Depravity . —On Tuesday afternoon a fire was discovered proceeding . from a stable in the occupation of an aged widow , named Gaisford , at Bnlkington , about five miles from Deviaes , and the flames communicating to the dwelling-house adjoining , the whole was consumed in the space of two hours . 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 hoiise , and of a great portion of her crockery , apparently without hands . Mi's . 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 was , 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 tho grandson of the old people , an artful urchin , then only about nine years of ago ; 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 Uaines , who had 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 tiime
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 pro ^ ceed 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 ne became greatly alarmed , and entreated to be allowed to go to hw grandmother . The constable who had charge of him said he must know something of the fire first . The boy asked whether , if he confessed , he should be let out ? Without any promise being made to him , be afterwards confessed—that he had taken the cows to
water , and that on his return he went into the stable from the yard ; that he then fastened the door , applied a match to the straw in the rack , and , seeing it burn , went into the kitchen and sat down by the side of his grandmother , as if nothing had happened ; adding that he 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 . € rawley , when , in the most hardened manner , he had not only denied committing . the act , but also said that he did not even know upon what charge he was taken up . Mi-. Superintendent Halnes said he 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 , tho magistrates did not feel ustified in committing him ; he was therefore set at liberty . He readily acknowledged to the superintendent that it was he who broke all the windows and the crockery in his grandmother ' s house . He stated , among other freaks , that Ms grandmother hadput him to bed one night , and he had Lain just long enough for her to suppose that he was asleep , when le jumped out of bed , ran into her room , dashed his hands through the window , and was back into his own room , in bed , and again apparently asleep , before the old woman could come up stairs and see what had lappened . 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 , ho is the terror of the village . —Devizes Gazette .
Liverpool , Monday . — Embezzlement . — Horsa breaking . —A man of very respectable appearance named Blount , was brought before Mr . Rushton , on a charge of having embezzled money , tho property of lis employer , Mr . John Lane , brewer . It appeared that he was employed in the office , and that on one occasion he received a sum of £ 20 from Mr . John Hartley , for grams , and that he entered only £ 15 to the credit of his ( Mr . Hartley ' s ) account . " Mr . Ruahton ordered the prisoner to be remanded . —Two well-known characters , named George Robinson and George Hughes , were brought up at the Police-court on a charge of having broken and entered the premises of Mi-. Jonathan Websterof No . 22 Horatio-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 foundthat 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 * mattress . On the way to Bridewell , Hughes threw away two skeleton keys . The prisoners were conr mitted for trial .
Horrible Death . —On Sunday evening last , a young Irishman , named John Smith , of Brookhouse , near Lancaster , employed in the ordnance survey , liad been partaking rather freely of liquor at apubliciouse in the village , and was accompanied to hi « lodgings , about ten o ' clock , b y the landlord , who , at his request , lighted him a candle , and , having placed it on a table in 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
thehouse , onrising , saw an unusual light in deceased * bed-room , and on going there was horror-struck at finding him stretched on the bed , quite dead , " ana with both his feet burnt off . It is conjectured that the unfortunate man had fallen across the bed with the lighted candle in hia hand , and thus set fire t « the bed clothes , which , from the peculiar nature of the materials of which they were composed , presently filled the room with smoke , and suffocated him , th e flame subsequently consuming his lower extremities ' —Lancaster Guardian .
Alarming Fire at a Cotton Factory . —Monday morning , about half-past seven o ' clock , information was brought to the Police Yard , by a police officer , that the factory occupied by Messrs . Waterhouse and Co ., cotton spinners , Temple-street , Chorltofr-vipoBMedlock , was on fire . On the arrival of the engine * the flames were issuing from the windows of the second and third stories of a building containing *™ carding and blowing machinery ; the building is foB * stories high , and runs parallel to a larger erection belonging to the same firm . Appearances for sontf time were very alarming ; . but water having been quickly obtained , and the engines got into play , t " flames were soon reduced , and in about an hour . coiflpletely extinguished . The building , which belongs to the firm , is of the fire-pr oof construction , and has not received any considerable damage . The principal
damage was to the cotton on the premises ; a considerable quantity of which was consumed , and ot her portions sustained damage from the water used ijj extinguishine the fire . The fire originated throug h some hard substance coming in contact with the teeti of a blowing machine in the lower story , and thereby causing the cotton to ignite , and the flames after * wards ascended through the " well-holes" to tM higher stories of the building . No personal injury we are glad to say , was received . Frauds on the Revesxie . —In consequence of * be gross irregularities whicn have been recently discovered in the St . Katharine ' s Docks / four officers oofr nected with the vaulting and delivery departa * ' have been suspended , « na a rigid inquiry is gQW ° * which , it is expected , will lead to importanvd * closures .
