Scarcely t day passes without some depredations tak4
ing place, which are alike disgraceful to the perpfttit-
tors and to our city. For a considerable tinak, a patiel
of fellows, who have more the appearance of tradeisten
seed vagabonds, have been prowling stem
thelipper part of the Green durinirthe afternoon, and
sometimes all night, and who abuse and insult every
one that paises them, if in an unprotected state. In
some instances they brutally nut *heir -victims, without
any provoiation ; and in others, take from them what-
ever they can lay their hands upon. Any solitary fe-
male, who attempts to pass these banditti with a bundle
or basket, is certain to lose it. One day last week an
old woman had the contents of a basket taken from her,
which consisted of some sugar and bread ; the fellows
sat themselves down and ate their spoil, laughing at the
woman's distress, who was glad to run off. Another
day, a young woman, bringing a quantity of straw.
berries into town, was surrounded by about a dozen of
these miscreants, who took her baskets from her, and
after eating what they could, pocketted the rest. The
girl ran off for some assistance, but finding none near,
she went back, and out of 16 pints of strawberries, about
one was left, bruised, and unfit for use.. From the Ire.

combats, dog fights, ike. that take place, the Green,
once the pride of our city, and the fashionable prone•

and instead of pleasing family groups taking their after-
noon's airing, there is nothing to-be seen or heard but
these disgraceful scenes, and the horrid yells and impre-
cations i f these fiends in human share. Surely there is

The devastating element then spread over the premises

and wool), a stable, cow and cart-houses, a sick of
wheat, three bay-ricks, with farming implements, and
twelve stocks of bees, in a minutes became one general

were saved. The loss is estimated at upwards of 4,0001
