On Saturday night; the area of several house; in
Chapel-street, Grosvenor-place, were entered by a
gang of thieves; wilu robbed the larders, of all their
contents.

About a fortnight since; a young wbroan +tamed
Mary Thompson, Who resides in Windmill-hill:-
street; in Plymouth; went to the house of Mr. ,
Evans, a surgeon, in .PembrOke;street, for the pur,!,
pose of having a tooth eXtraeted ; . complaining of a
violent
_pain in her right cheek bone. Mr. EiTatie:s,
apprentice; after drawing the tooth, peiceived a dark
substance, like congealed blood on the gum, and'on
attempting to remove it, found something- prick his•
fingers; nd aon examining the part more minutely,
27 brass pins were found. in the socket above thO'
part the tooth had been taken from : they appeared'
to have been there for a considerable time, being in
a very decayed staie. The only way in whi,lll the
young wbrnari cad account' for this extraordinary cir-
cumstance is, that about twelve tlionths since, she
was •afilieted wifb mental derangement, and was-se-
veral months confinedin the workhouse, and sup-•
poses, that in one of the paroxysms of her disordor.
she must have forced the pins into her gums. It is
evident, had she not been timely relieved, a mortii
. cation in the Jaw would spiedily have ensued.

FIRE.—A very destruaiVe fire broke out in the
stables of Major Phellep, at Hardinge-green, burr
rey, on Sunday evening, which was occasioned by
a candle falling from a lantern, which communi-
cated itself to a truss of straw. The Major bad just
returned home in his curri6e, and the stableman was
gone for a pail of*water when the accidenttOpetied.
The building, consisting of a stable and-

guineas. The d 14,eliing-house caught tire, but it
was extinguished before the flames' sp%ltd.
