MAD DOO.--AbOllt ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the neighbourhood of Knights. bridge was thrown into serious and too.weli grounded alarm, by tae appearance of a mad dog at Hyde Park corner. He first snapped at horses in the Park ; but at the Piccadilly gate he too successfully seized Mr. Cross, son of Mr. Cross, the gate keeper, by the leg, and making his way down on the right hand side of the Knightsbridge-road, snapped at every person and. animal he met ; lie fixed npon a Mr. Edwards, whom he bit severely ; he then attacked Mr. Richardson, of Hammersmith, whom he fell upon most ferociously, in conse quence of his determined resistance with Ina umbrella. This gentleman escaped, we understand, without any injury to hie person, although his coat and trowsera were literally torn to pivies. In the mean time the dog was pitrsned by a labourer, of the mune of Denford, who overtook him at the coach-stand at Sloane-street. but unfortnuately missing leis first aim with a pitchfork, the dog flew at his nude, and made live sleets incisions. It required the whole is , rength of the poor tnan'a brother to extricate him, while the courageous snderer dis patched the animal. He is now in St. Georges hospital, with Mr. Edwards and the boy, where they are mideigoing they extraction of tae bitten parts. Milford (who is an assistant to his brother, a milkman, at Knightsbridge) deserves the thanks and liberal eonsideration of the inhabitants and passengers. THE SPINNER!.--MANCILESTER, Sept. 13.—With the ex ception of a very few persons, we believe the spiiiners are otter inure following their respective employments I the mills 1/011 being id full motion.
