apartments. She caught up the 
infant, ran down stairs, and gave 
it to the charge of the first per- 
son she met; then returned, at 
the eminent risk of her own 
life, to save the others—she suc- 
ceeded in gaining the attic story, 
and snatching two children out 
of their beds, took one under 
each arm—but, from fatigue and 
almost suffocation, she dropped 
one in the room, and escaped only 
with the other; the flames were 
then bursting forth from the first 
floor, where she met the nurse 
with two children—Mrs. B. in an 
almost frantic state, attempted 
again to ascend the staircase to 
rescue those that remained, but 
was prevented by the flames; and 
the dear child she had nearly 
saved, and the other nine years 
old (in an adjoining room), fell 
sacrifices to the devouring ele- 
ment. A servant girl escaped 
over the roofs of the adjoining 
houses ; and, in a short time af- 
terwards the whole of the pre- 
mises fell in. 
20.—James O'Sullivan, esq. of 
this city, and his son, with a:spe- 
ciality from the sheriff, proceed- 
ed to his estate at Faba Pound, 
county of Tipperary, to execute 
an habere issued against Mr. H. 
Cashel Harte, to part of which 
Mr. H. was under-tenant. When 
arrived there about one o’clock, 
they obtained a peaceable and 
quiet possession of the house 
and lands; but on the return of 
Mr. Harte, about half-past’ four - 
o’clock, who had been from home 
on a shooting excursion, he en- 
deavoured to re-possess his house, 
_ by collecting a party, and Mr. 
Hi. having fired in through a win- 
dow at the speciality, and those 
on the inside, they quickly return- 
ed the fire, when he was killed on 
the spot.—Limerick Advertiser. 
23.—An inquest was held at the 
Lion and Lamb, Lower Grosve- 
nor-street, before Anthony Gell, 
esq. Coroner for Westminster, on 
the body of Sarah Sylvester, a 
cook in the family of the Rev. 
Dr. Robert Hodgson, rector of 
St. George, Hanover-square, who 
put an end to her existence by 
cutting her throat with a razor, 
in a hay-loft over the stable in the 
rear of the house, in Lower 
Grosvenor-street, after having 
delivered herself of a male child, 
whose body was found lying near 
her, with a silk handkerchief tied 
round its neck, and the body co- 
vered round with hay-bands. It 
appeared in evidence, that be- 
tween 10 and 11 0’clock on Thurs- 
day morning, the deceased was 
missed from her master’s house; 
it was then supposed she was 
gone out on some business of her 
own, but not returning as the 
dinner hour drew near, the but- 
ler inquired for her at the houses 
of several persons where she used 
to frequent, but she was not to 
be found. Between seven and 
eight o’clock in the evening, the 
butler and kitchen-maid com- 
menced a fresh search for her, 
and after looking over every part 
of the house, they searched the 
out-offices: on their going up to 
the loft over the stable, they found 
the door shut close to: the but-

but receiving no answer, he push-

so far as to admit his head, and
