OUTRAGE IN SDEPHERD'S MARK 'l'.—For so-
,
vsrnl nights past the most disgraceful 'proceeding's
have taken place in tho above market, by which
the property and lives of the inhabitants hive
been placed in imminent danger. Au assemblage
of vagabonds, amounting to (200 or 300, ConSist.
ingof thieves of the worst description, muster
about nine o'clock, and with the property of the
surrounding tradespeople, consisting.. of buttcr.
firkins, sugar hogsheads, garden rails, &c. which

they contrive to steal, they make a large bonfire,
over which they discharge heaps of firewmkq,
and during these revels, a pare of the gong are
seeking for plunder. Their plans are to put a
lighted squib though the pin-hole thatfastens the
shutters by which scheme the inmates run back-
wards in alarm, anti during the confusion, they
commit their depredations on their property.
Last night the gang assembled as usual, and worn
carrying on their nocturnal plans, when Wil-
son's party of flow-street patrole sallied amongst
them in order to disperse the mob. Thfe
talli-
cers were received by a volley of sfones, mud,
Sze., and such was the scene of confusion that eit
sued, that the Patrole found •it necessary to diaw
their cutlasses, and we hear that one of the most
p:ominent in the disturbance received a wound
on the. shoulder. This in some degree alarmed
the rest, who fled from the market in all direc-
lions. The officers having accomplishk,d their
,purpose, that of dispersing the intruders, went
on their usual duty, and we have no doubt the
vagabonds will not shew their faces in the market

agaiii.

On Thursday night a most melancholy occur-
retire bele! 811 unfortunate girl residing in
square. According to her account, sin hnd
reading 7'he Death ql Abel, when the
fell from the table and set tire to her c:othes.—
There happened to he a young man in the house
at the time, who alarmed by the girl's screams,
rushed in, and succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, by throwing a blanket over her, but not
until a great part her person was scorched to
to the appearance of a cinder. The girl has
been removed to the infirmary ; and hopes are
entertained that she may survive the calamity.—
