A MAN or Busmesii.—One of the most auda-
cious robbes les we have hail to rei•ord for sonic time past
took place in the 111 ighbout hood of Leicester, on Satur-
day morning last. Between seven and eight o'clock a
young 111411, dressed in a smock frock, entered a close of
Mr. Citinson, of Btstall, and drove therefrom eighteen
sheep, which lie bourtglit to market and sold to Mr.
Brown, if jobber, of Itlaston, before nine o'clock the
same inn R. Alter Ile had disposed of fits di-gotten
booty, the depredator writ to the Lion and Lands 11111,
where, having undisguised himself by pulling off his
frock, lie partook of hieaktast with the utmost composure,
and then disappeared, and has since nut been heard of.
lie had on a Milk green broad cloth coat, and was ono r-
aise tolerably' well dressed, having altogether the appear-
ance of a respectable lanner's . He said his name
was Forester, but where he resided lie refused to tell. It
is said that on passing Belgrave gate he left his whip in
pledge for toll, which is very probable, as lie clomp il a
1)1. note after lie sold the sheep, to pay for the pens in
which lie hail exposed them for gibe. We understand Mr.
Consort, or his shepherd, had seen the sheep on the usual
place at seven o'clock iii the mottling ; so that it would
appear that the audacious thief had entered his close,
stolen his sheep, drove them two miles, gut a purchaser,
received Me money for meals, regaled himself; and got

The fire rapidly involved every part of the house, and
communicated with the Witt. AssitilatiCe was promptly

Ou Wedssetalay last, the daughter of Mr. Honeysert,

LOCAL PoLICE.—TIfe tootle of pmtecting the
parish of St. Crux, York, from nocturnal depredations, is at once
an economical. and in other respects so worthy of imitation, that
tots nitwit publicity cannot be given to the means by which it is
elf:veil. The military are bound by a voluntary engagement to
supply a patrol of two of their number to walk the parish every
night, and pertbrin the duty of ordinary watchmen. Th., tour of
duty to each effective member of this excellent association reverts
but once in six weeks; and when attendance is impracticable,
mercenary is procured for two shillings. On the outset of their
career they put w flight two nests of reprobates, since which time
the parish las enjoyed the utmost security and quiet. A watch-
house for the accommodation of the patrol is now building on a
spot adjoining the church.

l'erpelua! Mfditos.—A very curious piece of mechanism
was exulibited in IVliitehaven during the last Lett days,
which has been in motion with roily one interval, (is
we are assured and believes to be a fact), five years or
upwards. It consists of only tine small hot mon tal wheel,
not exceeding 3-fourths of au inch in diameter, through
the centre of which, on the plane of the wheel, passes
a small mattnettc bar, projectiug alsom 3-fourths of an
Itleil beyond the circumference at the wheel on one side,
and about 3 eights of an inch on the other side. These
projections are called the North and Smith Riles. Tsie
axis of the wheel is, of course, perpendicular. tic ope-
rative power is magnetism. 11911106011 (pr-bably owitig
to friction inseparable fro.a the long continued actiott of
toe avis in its sockets) is somewhat irregular ; but on the
whole, it is a curiosity highly deserving attention. We
are sorry to add, that owing to a sutlden shsck which the
delicacy of its adjusttliellt Was bILIt ill edit:lll4lcl' to bear,
its iiiii tiou was swim d the other day, and we have not
been dole to !cam whether it has been restored. Alston
two years ago it was stopped by some unknown cause;
but after a short pause recovered its mutton 01 melt
without any additional impulse, and mutinied its rapid
revolutions without intertitisstoti, till it met with the
accident as above mentioned.

As the lion. NOMI.III Iblion WAS lately returning from
his seat in Devonshire, the horse upon which he rode
(formerly a charger belonging to an officer in the Guard.)
suddenly dropped down and expired. :Mr. lidton's leg
received 2 severe contusion; but notwithstanding the
pain which he felt, he succeeded in prmortmt
and npun opening the handy of his horse there was found
the hallo! a hayniet in the viscera. The poor horse is
supposed to have met with this extraoruitiary wutrid at
the battle of Watt rho.

A few Bats ago, Mr. Hughes, of the Horseshoes Inn,
near Wroxeter, Salop, has Mg given permission to a
chimney sweep awl another travelling person to sleep in
Ills mit.lmilding, went to fasten the door of the place
where tilt y went to reprise; this they resisted, and a
seta... ensued, when the chinitiey-sweep fired a loaded
gun or pistol (which he had concealed about him) at
11u4lies, a niece of lead f which penetrated the
eye-ball of Mr. 11., anti, we regret to say, has slot yet
been extracted. Mr IL has entirely lost the sight of
one eye, and lies in a tery dangerous state. The villain
escaped. awl hr tun yet been apprehet del.
On Wednesday last a melancholy accident hap..
veiled At Hoorn. The Lincoln out coach, Ir LOIIIIOII.

Ilse Bull inn, when the spirited rutin:4ls took sood•len
alarm, and drew the coach out of the usual road, over

hall ; the consequence was, that the vehicle Was over.
tinned, and the driver, J -Aleph Bright 44444 re, had the 11. k.
fortime to have both his arias and both his thighs broken.
No other person was hurt. The main imitate man lies
is very dangerous state. He had deservedly the eharat.tt•r
of a steady coachman, and was highly respecied.
Ail awful instance oh sudden death occurred a few
lays since at Worthing. A gentleman of the name of
Home fusing occasion to paint his house, incautiously
remained in it, contrary to tile advice of his Iris-lids,
during the 000 c the men were employed. On the fourth
day he was seized with vomitings, 111(1 complained of a
giddiness in the head. A physicieu was immediately
,eiit tor, but before he could arrive, the unfortunate man
was senseless. Every means which iimflcal skill could
devise were met' for nis recovery, but without effect.—
lie has left a wife and two children to lament his un-
timely death.
Curious facts in Natural Histary.—A gentleman resid-
ing at Keswick, has published a lett rut the Sporting
Magazine, ill which he says, that one eveiting iii the
1.-. tier roil of lily last. he umersed a rustling in the
strawberry heel nt his garden, and limn(' that a toad had
