JAN. 1. Greyhound Inn (where they had been to pay their rent), and but for the timely help and humanity of Mr. Chapman, would, in all.prohability, have periibed, as they were on horseback, and within thirty of a very deep pit full of snow. yards DARING Ro - aliERY.—On Monday evening last, about seven o'clock, as John Liddle, carrier between Haw ick and Carlisle, was on the way to the former place, a man came up to him on the road, near Brans holm, and seizing him forcibly by the throat, gave a signal, when an accomplice instantly appeared, who presented a pistol at him. Liddle endeavouring to knock it from the villain's hand, struck at it, upon which the robbers threw him down, bound him, and carrying him into an adjacent planta tion, tied him up to a tree, when they robbed him of a parcel, containing about 1001. in bank-notes, and also of 151. his own property. Liddle was found, by some people who heard his cries, forty minutes after the robbery, nearly exhausted with cold and pain, the villains had tied him in such a position, that only his toes could reach the ground. On Wednesday evening, near seven o'clock, as Mr. Robert Jackson, pilot, of th• Bull Inn. Stepney, was returning home from Hull, he was joined, a little beyond Spring-row, by a man, who, after walking with him a little way, knocked him down with a bludgeon, as he supposed. Mr. Jackson cried out " 4 murder ;" the man retreated from him a few yards; and some persons at no great distance repeating the cry of " murder," he hastily ran off, and threw himself into the ditch among the snow. Mr. Jackson got up and followed him, and on his coming up to the spot, stopping near it a short time, the man jumped up and asked w hat he was making a noise about ? Mr. Jackson said he had been knocked down, and asked him to assist in pur suing the assailant. This he apparently consented to do, and on coming up to some persons, who were drawn to the spot by the noise, Mr. J. seized the man, and charged him with the assault. On going to the spot where the man had been secreted, a hatchet was found in the ditch, with which it is presumed the blow had been given.—The man was brought to Scolcoates, and lodged in the House of Correction at that place. His name, we under stand, is Forbes. DREADFUL FIRE.—On Tuesday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, the beautiful mansion of Sir John Kennawav, Bart. - - called Escot-house, near Honiton (formerly the residence of Sir George Yonge), caught fire, and continued burning until ten o'clock at night, by which time it was entirely consumed. The conflagration was so tremendous that little could be saved, ex cept some papers, plate, and jewels. The accident was occa sioned by a lighted-candle being left in a dressing-room, which set fire to one of the curtains, and spread so rapidly as not to be extinguished. Some engines were procured as soon as possi ble from Ottery, but so injured by the late frost as to render them useless. Sir John, and a party of friends were at dinner when the first alarm was given, and we are happy to find that tit) personal injury was experienced by any of the family ; but we have to lament the death of Mr. Pile, a respectable young farmer, who, in assisting, fell from a ladder twenty feet from the ground, and was killed on the spot.
