Yesterday se'nnight. about half after seven o'clock
in the evennig, as Mr. Joseph blycock, a respectable
farmer at Slate House, in the parish Ham, near
Ashborne, Staffordshire, was sitting by his fire-side,
with his wife and two women servants in the same
room, some villain fired a gun loaded with two balls
through the window, and shot Mr. Mycock in the
right side, and caused his instant death. No clue has
been discovered that is likely to lead to the detection
of the perpetrator of this horrid deed.

Thursday evening, in the Bite at Exmouth, after 1
the crew of the Venus, H. Richards master, had re-
tired to rest, two of the crew, one of whom is a
w I eiclinun, and the other a Frenchman who had been
a prisoner of war in this country, but suffered to enter
the English service, arose from their cabins, plan-
dered the sloop of all the wearing apparel they could
come at, stole the boat, went on board a pilot sloop
then in the Bite, cut her cable, and in getting under
weigh ran her on shore at high water mark. 1 heir
Idesiga being thus frustrated, they made off for Chud-
leigh, where they have since been taken into custody,
the Frenchman confessing their intentions were to
make their 'escape to France. They are, however,'
committed to the high gaol, Devon, to take their
trials fur the robbery.
A most daring gang of thieves and receivers of
stolen good has been discovered and broken up, in
the neighbourhood of Abergavenny and Crickhowell.
They consisted principally of men employed at the
iron-works in that district, of whom five have been
committed to Brecon-gaol, and two to Monmouth,•
charged with offences in the respective counties. A
constable atCrickhowell had very minutely exam:ned
tie house of one of the parties suspected of receiving
i the goods, when, upon sitting down in the Lowe.

This induced a farther search, and on removing some
of the stones, he found concealed, in a place curiously
constructed for the purpose, a large quantity of shop-
' goods of every description. The persons committed
at Brecon, are Isaac Powell, alias Skey, alias Hoy.

The value of Dr. FRUENIAVS GUTTA SAINTARiS
has been so long proved, that nothing of the present'
day can bear a competition with it, in all the diffe-
rent stages of a certain disease, which it effectually
cures and eradicates from the habit, without exciting

tion—without debilitating the constitution in any de-
gree, or even requiring confinement from business or ;
restriction of diet. The radical virtues of these ines-1
timable Drops have proved their claim to public an.
probation for more than 3O years. In all the debility
of both sexes they prove a never-failing restorative—
whether the debility is produced by too free use of
mercury, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warm
climate• To tragieders and those going abroad, they
cannot be recommended too strongly, as they will re-
ceive a safe, speedy, and complete cure, in all old
stubborn gleets, and every weakness that affects the(
bladder and organs of urine. By its efficacy many 1
women have become mothers, who for many years'
had been deprived of that happiness.—Sold wholesale
