      A WABLtKE Pbisoneb . — William Miller , apprentice to Bichard Taylor , of Bradford , cooper , was charged with grossly misbehaving himself to hk master . It appeared from the evidence , that he was in the habit ^> f getting drunk , and when so , wm greatly infuriated , and played sad pranks . On Monday , he was more than nsnally nnmly , and not content with creating a riot at home , went to Henry Taylor ' s shop , and made the broad bottomed tubs dance like a . French Caperoni . After he had been

      taken to prison , the constables went to see how he was eondncting himself , when they found that he had broken the iron-hedBtead in his cell to pieces , asd with one of the aides commenced a Arions attack on them . They providentially evaded Mb blows and he was secured . He was committed to the House of Correction for one month . After his release he will most probably be indicted for breaking the furniture of the prison . We understand Miller is a quiet person when sober .

She immediately informed a neighbour , named John Heaton Scott , who pursued the prisoner . When the latter found he was followed , he stooped down

      and left the meney in the causeway , which was observed "b y a person named Jonas Hardy . The prj-TOner was taken , and on conn ting the money be bad left on the causeway , it was found to amount to £ 2 16 s . ' , among thi ? money there was a sixpence marked with a B , which Bates had taken that morning , and which she had looked at particularly , on aeconnr of it being the initial of her surname " . This sixpence she completely identified as being among the money in the tilL The offence was hronght home to the pr isoner , who was committed to take his trial at the next sessions .

      Sweet Retekge . —Tt is well known to our readers that the proprietors of the Soke Mill have been foiled ia all their attempts to force the inhabitants to purchase flour of them . In consequence , they have determined on the following method of revenging themselves . They intend ro open retail thofs , in various parts of Bradford , acd undersell the meal and flour dealers , and thereby drive them out of the trade . In this competition among the flour dealers , and the Soke Mill proprietors , the inhabitants of Bradford may congratulate themselves , which ever party -will have to pay the piper .

      Mibgley . —The first anniversary of the Radical Association of this place was held on Tuesday evening , at the Shoulder of Mutton Inn , when a p lain substantial dinner was provided for the memkere . Mr . Naylor , a labouring man , was called to tiie chair . After the cloth was withdrawn , and the tables removed , at which nearly forty persons had dined , who are joined members of the Association , the room was thrownopen for the public , and soon filled by apparently happy and contented villagers . Mr . Wilkinson , the chairman of the Radical Association at Halifax , and Mr . Tetley , who were the two invited guests , were also present , and the

      last named gentlemen commenced the business of the evening Tby reading to the meeting the printed rules of the Association , after which the chairman introduced Mr . Wilkinson , who made a neat speech , 'in which he strongly recommended the adoption and practice of the Radical principles upon his audience . Toasts were afterwards given from the chair , amongst which was— " F , O'Connor , Esq ., and the Badical press , " responded to by Mr . Wilkinson , and songs and speeches became the order of the evening , till about twelve o ' clock ,

      when the meeting broke up . It is said some Conservative Operatives were in the room , who have formed a society for the purpose of propagating error , mischief , and oppression , by affecting to defend laws which in themselves are injurious to labonr ; and , of course , proving them sufficiently mad to attempt a work which can only end in their destruction . They had sense enough , however , to refrain on thieoccasion from offering any opposition . Mr . W . gave them a rap on the knuckles they will not Boon forget .

      SSIGHLE 7 . Accidental Death . —On Monday week , a fine little boy , about ten years of age , named John Bland , of Lane-ends , near Keighley , lost his life in the following lamentable manner . He was playing in an excavation newly made for a wheel-rase , when a large portion of the loose earth above , fell upon him and literally buried him alive . The quantity of fallen earth was so great that it took several men two hours in coming at the body , which when found . was crushed and mangled in a shocking manner .

      Socialism r . Radicalism . —On Tuesday evening week , a public discussion took place in the Radical Association Boom , as to whether Socialism or Radicalism ought to take the precedence in improving the condition of the labouring class . The Radical cause was advocated by Mr . Thos . Knowles , keeper of the Temperance Hotel , and the Social , by a young man named Jacob Scott and several others . A chairman was appointed to keep order , and the discussion , which lasted two hours , was supported in a spirited acd orderly manner by both parties , the Socialists contending that their system would do away with the necessity of Radical Reform altogether , and Mr . Knowles arguing that without Radical Reform neither Owen nor any other svstem

      for the benefit of industry would have the slightest chance of success . To rescue themselves from the difficulties of this position , Messrs . Scott and Smith brought forward the protection afforded by law to all' existing societies , and the solemn assurances made by government tc Mr . Owen , that his system shonld "have a fair trial . These arguments were quickly and ably overturned by Mr . 3 L . who proved from innumerable facts the hostility of the present Government to all the varions societies which have been devised for the real protection of labour , which appeared to leave a final impression on the minds of the assembly , entirely favourable to his own views , namely , that Owenism withont the protection of Universal Suflrage is a mere chimera and must ultimately fall to the ground .

      HULL , Shockisg Accident . —On Friday morning w ^ ek , an inquest was held at the Jarratt-street Station House , before T . D . Hill , Esq ., Solicitor , Deputy Coroner , and a respectable jury , on the body of Mr . Henry Mitchell , son of "Mr . S . Mitchell , tobacconist , who had been shot by his wife with a pistol , on the previous Wednesday , and died on Thursday afternoon . The evidence adduced was in substance as follows : Mr . Chaper deposed that he resided in Silvester-street , opposite to the house of Mr . Mitchell , and that on Wednesday he heard the report of a pistol , and while looking about to ascertain the cause , the door of the deceased was opened by the servant girl , who called out murder . He went into the house , and saw

      deceased standing on the floor , supported by his wife , who held a pistol in her hand , which he took from herj she had also a brace of small pistols , loaded , in her bosom , which , at his request , she gave him ; he also found another large pistol , loaded , but the cap was taken off ; both said Mrs . M . had fired the pistol , while skylarking or playing together . She said she thought nothing of loaded fire-arms , and had given her sister ' s child loaded pistols to play with . Mr . Green , surgeon , was Bent for , and found that the "ball had passed through the lower part of his body . He was perfectly sensible . His deposition was taken before the Mayor , and stated that the accident was occasioned by skylarking together . A ball was picked up in the room by Mr . Cbaper , which was given to him He-had no doubt but that the wound was sufficient

      to cause death . Elizabeth Hampson , servant to the-deceased , heard the report of the pistol . She had seen Mrs . M . run from the back to the front room , and Mr . M . after her , as if in play . When she heard the pistol , she thought her master had shot her mistress ; that was the reason she called ont murder . There -had been no quarrel between them ; her master always slept with loaded pistols under his pillow . The Coroner briefly addressed the jury , after which they deliberated about five minutes , and then returned a verdict of " Accidental death , " with a deodand of Is . upon the pistol . They also expressed their disapprobation of tie careless manner in which the pistols had been

Radical Meeting at Hull . —On Friday evening week , the Radicals of Hull , were favoured with the unexpectedpleasure of meeting Mr . Lowry , one of the delegates from the Xondon Working Men ' s Association , who was on his way to attend the- great demonstration at Manchester . He addressed a select number of the working classes with

      considerable effect , in the large room of the Royal Oak ; Blackfriargate . On the following day , notice was given by the bellman that Mr . L . would address the Radicals of Hull , at eight o ' clock in tke evening , from one of the windows of the above inn 5 soon after which hour a considerable number of tne working classes attended . The meeting would have been much more numerous had the notice been more public . Mr . Lowry spoke f jr a considerable rime , and in a calm masterly way directed the attention of bis audience to the various wrongs inflicted , ; on the people by that wholesale system of misrule to which the country was subjected both by Whigs and Tories . He referred to the enormous taxation of all the necessaries of life , and

      ¦ to the shameful and wanton expenditure of the Government . He denounced in strong terms the abuses of the State Church , and in particular pointed ont the hypocrisy and infidelity of those who , professing to believe the Bible , yet opposed Reform , and aided in perpetuating the miseries of their fellow men ; he had no notion of that charity which could weep over the wrongs of the slave at about 3000 miles distance , and at the same time aid in enforcing the accursed New Poor Law , and join in damning to a miserable existence and a premature grave , hundreds of thousands of honest mechanics and helpless factory children . For his part he was resolved te do his duty ; and he would bid them good night , with earnestly calling upon them to do theirs .

      Fbatjtj Pretested . —James Hayton , master of a sloop appeared before the Magistrates on Saturday , to answer a charge of non-payment of wages preferred by Joseph Mills , who claimed 30 s for seven day ? wages and a run up to Stanforth . Defendant said he had offered to give him a sovereign ,- which was a fair sum , but he demanded 25 s which be refused to pay him . Two days was the usual time employed in lading , but they were seven days , which was no fault of the complainant , but

      owing to not being able to get deal te suit . He called three witnesses , all captains of small craft who severally swore that 20 s was as much as the man had aright to demand . Mills said if be would have given him 25 s he would have taken it . Mr Parker , cross-questioned the witnesses , and at length it came ont that the runjgpronld be 13 s and 5 s . 6 d . per day during the time of lading . The Mayor said his own witnesses had decided the case , and the decision of the Court was that the man be

      paid 2 * . 6 d . per day for seven days , and 13 s for the run , and 6 s costs . It is well known that these men who are employed on the rivers are shamefully cheated , and the decision of the bench appeared to give general satisfaction .

Sykes gave evidence , showing that the number of geese was

      right when they were let out in the morning .

The whole turned out to be a wild goose story , and the prisoner was discharged . A number of petty assault cases were also disposed of , and small fines , with the expenses , levied .

      "WAKEFIELD . Ossett . —The recent establishment of a Radical Association here appears to have given afresh impetus to the political feeling and political principles of the inhabitants of the town . It has aroused the dormant energies of many , particularly the operative class ; it has called into more active exercise those mental operations—thought and reflection ; and they have come to the determination to * be no longer deceived and duped by the promises and pretensions of either one faction or the other , but take the work into their own hand ? , and labour with unwearied diligence until the po \ itical regeneration of this country be effected . Before the commencement of this association , the people

      of Ossett were remarkably supine and apathetic upon every subject of public importance ; but since then a spirit of inquiry has been excited—people have been brought together , a discussion has ensued , truth has been elicited , falsehood has been detected , prejudices have been removed , and converts made to the Radical cause . Such are some of tbe benefits to be derived from men meeting honestly and peaceably together , and uniting their best energies for tbe advancement and promotion of one commen cause . At their last meeting , which took place on Tuesday night last , it was resolved that Feargus O'Connor , Esq . should be respectfully sofecited to come over , and address the association and the inhabitants generally .

How he got into the water our informant could not tell , as the poor man was well acquainted with the road .

      EETWOODi The Kers ^ l Moor Meeting . —On Tuesday morning , when the mills should have commenced working , about 200 of the hands were refused admittance , for having left their employ on Monday to attend the meeting on Kersal Moor . One of the mills belonging to Mr . John Hilton Kay was entirely at rest on Tuesday , from the bands being refused admittance for the above reason . The employers , without exception , bad eiven notice that

      those leaving their work to attend the meeting , would be dismissed , and they made good theirnotice . On Wednesday morning most of the discarded workmen met , and held a consultation , after which they took their way towards Siddall Moor , and would probably end at Heaton Park races . Similar notices were given by the employers at Bury , notwithstanding which many of the work-people attended the meeting , and were afterwards discharged .

      Confirmation . —At nine o clock on the morning of yesterday week , the Bishop of this diocese held a confirmation on about 200 children , at the OldJChapel , Heywood .

O'Brien , the Curate , after which his Lordship delivered aa effective discourse , from the text , " Suffer little children to come unto me , and forbid them not , for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven . " A numerous and respectable congregation attended the church . On Sunday , a collection , amounting to upwards of £ 20 , was made , towards defraying the necessary expenses of the consecration .

      BOCHDALE . A Say age . —On Sunday evening , as a young man named Mills , was returning from Rochdale to Oldham , with a young game-cock , which he had some time before purchased from a friend ; when be bad got about two miles on his way , he , along with his father , called at a public-houve and called for a pint of beer ; a friend asked what he had wrapped up under his arm , and wished to see it . When in the act of showing it , a brute , who goes by the cognomen of " Rough Robin , " but whose name is James Turner , got from hi * seat , and , without saying a word , snatched hold of tbe bird and actually bit its head off , and spit it npon the ground .

      Man Drowned . —On Sunday-morning last , the body of a young man , aged eighteen years , named Robert Clegg , was taken out of a mill-dam , Hamer Mill , near this town . It is surmised , and not without some grounds , that the poor fellow committed the rash act in a fit of temporary excitement , as the sequel will show . He was employed at the print works , at Belfield , and had , during the last week made some overtime , which he got paid for ;

      and on coming home on the previous night with his wages , his step-mother made a demand for the whole of the money , which led to some angry words on both sides ; but when forced to give it up , it is said that he flew out of the house in a rage , declaring he would go to h- -1 if he came in there again . The yousg man was of very quiet habits ; and , we believe , not treated in many respects as he ought to have bees . '_ .

      Petty Sessions . Edward Anwworth , . a woollen-mill proprietor , was brought before the bench , having nine informations preferred against him by J . Webrter , the factory inspector , for violating the Factory Act , in ' two of which he was fined £ 2 each , and one £ 1 ., Mr .

      barrister , held a Court , in the Court-Room , Flying Horse , an Tuesday last , which terminated a little after twelve . on Wednesday .

Law , solicitor , of Manchester , appeared on behalf of the Tories , and Heaton and Roberts of this town ,: for the other' party . The list contained about 970 voters , being an increase of nearly 300 since 1832 .

      Tory Feed . —The Conservatives of this town , have placarded the walls and windows very plentifully , announcing that they will celebrate the anniversary by a grand feed , in the place where Mr . Batty has held his Circus , and on which occasion the " ladies of Rochdale , " will present the association with a splendid silk banner . They have not thought proper to state who those ladies are .

      Mbetino on KebsallM ' oor *—On Monday morning , before Aurora had peeped over the mountain's top , the Radical * nf Rochdale began to shew the interest which they took in : the then . pending demonstration on Keraal Moor . Crowds of pMple were perambulating die ¦ treete with arums , fifes , and flags , calling together the Radical troops , who by the time of setting off to the Moor , were collected in large numbers . At eight o ' clock the band struck off , and marched through the town on their way to their destination ; all the way the numbers * ept augmenting till th ^ y were joined by the friends at Middleton , with whom they went in company to that meeting , which will long be remembered by the enemies of the people's rights .

      HYDE . Hyde and JIewton Petty Sessions . — Mr . Cartwrigfct , landlord of the Norfolk Arms , wan summonedfor having two bands of music playingSin his house on Hyde Wakes Sunday . JMr . Cartwright proved that he had sent a man up stairs to order the band to cease playing ; but they would not obey his orders , ; : Captain ; Clark said ^ as it was the Wakes , and as . Sjjr . Gatby had gives the house 3 good character , the magistrates would only order him to pay costsv Important to Rate-Payers . —Capt . Clark , one of the magistrates ^ appealed against the poor , ; rate assessment of Hyde . He said , before Mr . Vaughan , his solicitor entered into the casehe

      , , would show the motives which had induced him to appeal ; various complaints had been made to him of the inequality and partiality of the rate . The complainants were so ^^ situated with respect to work and cireumvtanees , that they apprehended and dreaded injury * if they brought the case forward themselves . He had inquired into the cases that would be brought forward , and iound the rate to be unequal and illegal : he regretted that men were so situated in their localities , that they durst not complain of just grievances ; but the time was not come when he was so placed and should appeal against the rate . Mr . Howard thought that the remarks

      made- by his brother magistrate did not apply either to his mill , his tenants , or any understanding between him and his men : if he knew that he had any servant , who had gr ievances justly to complain of , and was too timid to make them ; or if such servant sought favour at his hands , and he ( Mr . Howard ) knew it , he would treat him with disdain because of his timidity ; for he hoped no man who worked for him would imagine that he had any intention to suffer the continuance of any oppression or grievance ;¦ for he . would be most read y , at any time , to redress wrongs , and treat them in that manner which they ought to be . Mr . Vauuhan

      said , that for many yean past the assessors bad laid the rate by the yard ; whereby old buildings , that were little better than barns or other outhouses , amounted to as high a rate as the best houses and shops in the front of the streets , and the bouses in the back streets the same as in the front ; this must be an unjust and illegal rate . Capt . Clark said that the cotton masters had last night sent the assessors down to his hall , to examine that he had nothing unassessed ; as soou as he saw them , he thought proper riot to accompany them , or tamper as he believed > others had done ; his daughter showed them through every apartment , and when be came to examine what ; they had done , his

      hot-beds , pig-cotes , and hen-roosts , were assessed in the same proportion as the cotton masters sitting and dining rooms ; he could not , think it right for them to assess his hall and land , but that some disinterested man who would not be tampered with , and who would strike with a just hand ought to assess . Mr . Howard could not think that farmers ought to meddle with factories . Capt . Clark said that the factories in Hyde were 3 d . per yard less than in Wernetb . Mr . Turner considered them worth that much more than his , being more contiguous to the canal . Mr . Charles Howard said that neither his house nor mill were under-assessed , but admitted that houses in front of the street were . The Magistrates then for an hour entered into various modes of

      assessment * , and the relation of under-assessments with respect to what they ought to be ; Capt . Clark contending that there was not any thing like justice or equality in them , and Mr . Howard and Mr . Turner rather to justify and palliate them . Capt . Clark said , I dare not , I never will sign any warrant of distress forthe recovery of rates under this assessment . Mr . Vaughan said , he did not wish to create any bad feeliDg among the Magistrates , but it was evident that the rate was illegal and partial ; it was one of many years continuance of injustice , bad both in principle and detnit { indeed throughout it was vicious , he called Mr . Cbarlton , the relieving

      officPT and late overseer , who , in answer to Mr . Vaughan ' 8 questions , admitted that various premises were only about half assessed . Mr . Howard , how happened you to assess ttienv in this manner ? Mr . Cbarlton—I have gone by the old rules , and expressed difficulty under present circumstances . Captain Clark took up his hat to leave his brother Magistrates ( to quash or confirm the rate ) but he was desired to sit down , and Mr . Vaughan continued his preparations for the Quarter Sessions ; ultimately they agreed to have a new assessment and to apply to the Poor Law Commissioners to allow its cost . Tbe assessor to be directed

      by a public meetingstnctly not to favour either rich or poor . Mr . Isaac Bottomley appeared at the bar to procure an appeal against the rate of which he had given notice ; beheld in his hand an official document from Manchester , which showed that steam engines are there rated at £ 25 per horse power as first cost , and 7 | per cent , as on buildings , while , not a single horsepower j * assessed in Hyde and its vicinity , but the Captain ' s case had effected the ultimate purpose , if the inhabitants will see that it is enforced and will lay down a good precedent for future rates .

      SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY . OnWednesday last , a report was circulated throughout the metropolis , that an accident had occurred on the line of the Great Western Railway , near to the tenninus at Maiuenbead , which ' had been attended wi : h great loss of human life , and a great destruction of property . From inquiries which our informant hai instituted , we are , however , happy to say , that although an accident of a serious nature did occur , it was unattended wiih any sacrifice of li ' e . The particulars are as follow : — During the last fortnight two trains , termed , " experimental trains , " have travelled daily to and fro , with carriages and trucks ; heavily laden with stone and iron , to the extent , in some instances of

      180 tons , for the purpose of trying the strhngth of the rails and " permanent ways . " At twenty minutes before eight o ' c [ oclc yesterday morning , the jEolus engine started from the Paddmgton terminus with nine carriages , heavily laden with stone and iron , with which it proceeded on an experimental trip towards Maidenhend , arid at eight o ' clock the North Star engine left the same terminus with what is called the eight o ' clock train , consisting of seven carriages and fire stage coaches , the whole occupied with passengers and luggage . Along the whole line the fog was very dense , and between the West Dray ton Station and Slough , the North Star overtook the YEolu ? , which train it to

      propelled from ^ behind Slough , where the North Star stopped to set down passengers , the jEolus continuing ' ¦ its progress . TheNorth Star did not delays however , more than two minutes , when it proceeded on its journey to Maidenhead , at a steady pace , the fog being very thick on that portion of the line , the engineers and attendants not being able to see nidre than fifty or sixty yards before them . When near the engine-bouse , close to Maidenhead , the iEolns wasperceived to be about fifty yards ahead of them , oh , the same track of rails ^ and it being feared that unless that engine quickened its speed a collision must inevitably take place , the whistles of the guards were loudly sounded to give notice of the

      rvortn olar a approach , the engineers and attendants of the latter train instantly nsing their ^ breaks" to endeavour , if possible , to check their speed . Unfor ^ tunately , however , they were unable to do so , and almost immediately afterwards the North Star came with great force against the hindmost carriage of the JEolus train , by which it was shivered into a thousand pieces , the roof knocking off the chimney of the North Star , and otherwise damaging arid injuring the works . Thet next carriage ^ of tne iEolus train was also much shattered , and forced up by the conr ensgion to the top of the carriage immediately before it which was likewise much damaged . The excitement and alarm among the passengers of the North Star train was , as may be supposed , most intense , it being feared that the engineers and stokers , who were at the moment attending the cugiucmust comsion

      , , oy me , nave oeen aasnea m pieces . Mr . G . Clark , who , with several other gentlemen connected with the company , was on the tender of the iEolus , as soon as that engine could be stopped ran to see after thenij brit at the firat moment they were no where to be Reeri . Almost immediately * however v they were perceived , quite Bate , lying at full length on the tender , whither they had , at the suggestion ¦ of Appleby , the engineer , thrown themselves on perceiving their danger . On examining the North Star , it was found to be too much injured to proceed ; but after the delay of an hour in removing the broken and other carnages of the experimental train , the passengers were cenveyed the ' short remaining distance by the iEplos , which likewise proceeded with the ^ return-train to town . The carnages destroyed were one of each class ; viz—firgt , second , and opjn . Including the damage done to the North Star , the loss is estimated at about £ 2 , 000 .

      MYSTERlblJS FlRK AT GLQUCBSTBR ^ -On Sunday afternoon , about a quarter-past three o'clock , afire was discovered on the premises of Mr . Edwards , tailor ^ Eastgate-atreet , in thin city , which created great alarm at the moment , and has ever since given rise to the greatest perplexity as to its origin . Mr . Edwarcs and his wife left home on Saturday evening , to visit xome friends in the country , and had not returned at the time of the casualty . The ¦ inmates of the house on Sunday were an apprentice , named Nicholls , and a servant girl , both of whom went out about half-past two o ' clock . In about half or three-quarters of an hour afterwards smoke was seen making ; ts way through the roof and

      other parts ; this excited the alarm of some of the neighbours , who knocked at the door , but finding no one within , Mr . Clutterbuck , surgeon , Mr . George Washbourn , and Mr . Haviland , followed by Mr . Nathaniel "Washbourn , entered the house through the parlour-window , and made their way with all haste up stairs . On arriving at the second lani'ingplace they were compelled to withdraw , owing to the heat and denseness of the smoke . They returned down stairs into the kitchen , which they also found enveloped in smoke , issuing from a drawer in a bureau under a secretary . The drawer was closed , and on being pulled open a large towel , folded up in the centre of the drawer was found on fire , and partly consumed ,. The drawer was carried to the

      pumpj and a bucket of water thrown on it . In the meantime the alarm was spread , arid several persons hastened to render assistance , which they did very effectually with buckets . An engine was also brought to play upon the house , hut too late to be of much service , the fife being got under principally by iudiyidual exertion . The conflagration in the upper part of the house was confined lo one apartment , a bed-chamber in which the servant girl slept , and which was used also as a work-room by Mrs . Edwards ' s apprentices . In this apartment two bedsteads and bedding , and other furniture , and a quantity of clothing , dress-making materials , &c , were destroyed , some entirely , and others partially . An expreas was sent off for Mr . Edwards , who on his arrival discovered that £ 12 had been abstracted

      from the secretary in the kitchen , but the pocketbook in which the money had been placed was found empty in another drawer . The money was afterwards found in the possession of the apprentice , who said he had taken it to take care of for his master The drawer in the kitchen , in which the burning towel was found , was on the opposite side of the room to the grate , and being closed uo communication v > as apparent by which the fire could accidentally have got into it . Then again , this fire could riot have been occasioned from that which was

      burning up stairs , as the first floor intervened , on which there was no indication of fire , and a passage , or hall , also separated the kitchen from the staircase . Equally , if not more mysterious , is the origin of the fire in the bed-room on the second floor . It appeared to rage p rincipally from a closet in which was a quantity of clothes , &c , but no candle had been used in the room since the previous night , and the girl had since slept there , and had been in the room to dress herself and for other I purposes repeated , without , as she states , observing any smoke or fire ; she had been in the room not long before she left the house to go out for a walk . To account , under these circumstances , for the causes of the

      conflagration , it was then supposed that it must have originated from one of tbe adjoining "flues . Of these there were four , three belonging to rooms in Mr . Edwards's house , in which no fire had been lighted for several months . The fourth proceeded from the kitchen of Mr . Scerry ' s house adjoining . Very little fire had been kept in Mr . Sterry ' s kitchen during the day , so as to make it improbable that the catastrophe had fpread from thence ; but to be certain on this point a sweep was sent up the flue , who found tbe soot in its natural state , without the slightest appearance of its haying been ignited ; neither was there any wood or any visible defect by which fire , if there had been any in the flue , could have communicated with Mr . Edwards ' s premises . The flue from Mr . Edwards ' * kitchen ran up on the opposite

      side of thw house . Under these circumstances , Mr . Josiah Castree , agent to the Phoenix Fire Office , ia which the two adjoining houses are insured , applied 6 ri Tuesday to the city magistrates ' , requesting tkeir assistance to investigate the cause of the firp , which they acceded to , and Mr . Edwards , together with his apprentice and servant girl , Mr . Clutterbuck , Messrs . Washburn , Mr . Haviland , and others attended , but nothing was elicited to unravel the mystery , and , we may add , to remove the very great suspicion in which this affair is involved . The hous « belongs to the executors of the late Mr . Wood , and was not insured , neither was any part of Mr . EdwaruVs property , against whom , we need hardly sayj no suspicion tests . Thern are minor circumstances connected with this occurrence which we have not enumerated—such as Mr . Edwards ' s belief

      that he left the bureau in which his money was kept locked , and its being found unfastened by the persons who entered tbe house , ike . ; but altogether the case wears such a complexion as to make it almost impossible to suggest even a supposition that this fire was occasioned by accident . We regret to have to add that many persons , in their eagerness to render assistance , crowded on the fire-escape ladder to hand buckets of water to the top of the house , when the ladder broke , and precipitated several individuals to the ground , injuring two or three slightly , and two rather severely . They were removed to tbe Infirmary , when it was discovered that the injuries they had sustained Were not so great as had been apprehended . One was discharged cured the following day , and the others in a day or two afterwards . — Gloucester Journal .
