We ore sorry to state, that within the last few
114y4, several daring luirglaries have been cant-
mitted itt this tow,. ; and it is :eared that a well-
urgarrised gang of depredators have taken up their
quarters in this neighbourhood, who liver tinfor-
tunattrly carried ost 4 heir robberies without de-
tecticia. The !smote of n Lady residing at No. 3.
Alaririe Parade. was robbed on Tuesday night
of a qui 111 l ity of 'date, linen, &e. On the pre-
ceiling ereiling, a laundry was broke oneo, and a
lire bundle of linen eart:ell :iWay.—A very strange
circumstance occurred last week in the house of as
gentleman, well known for his love of money, mid
care iii hwardirog nil his wealth. The villains en-
tered his house by taking not two panes of glass mit
of the parlour window; they then picked the 10, k of
i's chest of drawers, and found out one of the sec!et
depositoiies, from whence they stole upwards of
fifty guineas, besides several other valuable article-,
whilst the proprietor of the premises mid his wile
were sleeping in on adjoillang room, divided by a
thin partition, without being disturbed by the rob-
brio iii their career of plunder. The frequency of
1 the late depredations calls loudly fur a better orga-
nized system of police.

of fish has hero annually diminishing off this coast,
whilst, to ihe eastward of Beacliy-head fish is
plentiful. The Hastings boats caught uo lets these
