(the largest and most extensive for many surroun..
ding miles) belongine to blessrs..Dowling and Coley,
of Chippenhem, Wilts, was discovered to be en
fire, and together with its stock of wheat and flour,
was in a few hours totally destroyed. The damage
is estimated et ten thousand pounds and upwards.—
It is-supposed to have been purposely set on firs.
Early on the evening of Friday se'nnight, the whole
of the premises at Compton Down Farm, in the sari*
of Enford, Wilts, consisting of a barn, coataining
about 80 sacks of wheat, the greater part threshed;
a barley rick ef 20 loads; an oat rick of 60 loath I a
large pea rick, and a threshing machine, which had
only been hired for a few days. were entirely consumed
by fire: supposed to be the act of some incendiary.
At three yesterday tnorning twenty-five male con-
victs were conveyed from Newgate in caravans, for
the hulks at Sheerness. • There was considerable up.

MUIDIM AND Roaeler.--Sunday evening be-
tween six and seven o'clock, the house of Mr. Ho.
ward, a farmer. 90 years of age. at Yawsky, near
Drayton; in the-perish of Hillingdon, Middlesex, was
entered by a gang of robbers, 'supposed to be four, in
a disguised state, and robbed of considerable pro-
perty, 4150 in cash and notes, at least. A man and
boy, who lived in the house, went eut about 6 o'clock,
when they left the aged min and his housekeeper, 73
years of age. in the kitchen. On their return to the
house they found that it had been robbed tithe va-
luable property, and the aged people lay on the floor,
presenting a most horrid spectacle from the wounds
and bruises which they had received. Their beads
were cot in several places : they were insensible. It
was discovered, from the bloody state-of a flail used
for thrashing corn, that the wounds bad been inflicted
by that instrument. A surgeon was matted, but his
assistance was of no avail. The poor old Etna Owl

dons, has been lately pukliabed by the accurate and
laborious Mr. ions Nicitor.t.s, this respectable Editor
will have to record, in the nest edition, that the pre.
rent LORD MAYOR. being a native of TIVERTON, has
wiped away the above reproach from the Counsy of
Devon I There has arisen (and there may bare been
others) one Devonchireman who has made free nse of
the Exchange in loot, and who is returning back the
advantages accruing to him from his acquired wealth,
by discharging the arduous duties of the high office
of Magistracy in a manner which, whilst it has se-
cured to him the honour of a nand civic reign—re-
dounds to his own credit, and augments the munici-
pal glory of the first city in the world.
I am, sir, your's respectfully,
Mores. JOHN RVAN%.

The LORD MAYOR penonally. visited Blackfriare-
bridge a few evenings since, and requited twelve of
the poor fellows who loiter there for charity to go to.
the C9mpter, where they should have relief. They
promised to do so, but not one went, This arises'
from the assistance they receive there and on London
Bridge from many Ladies and others sending broken
victuals and money to help them. by which means
patipers and vagabonds of every description assemble
at those pl.soes. .

Sunday se'nnight, in the evening, an attempt was
made by several prisoners under sentence of transpor-

key, one of them, named William Lees, suceeded in
effecting his escape, and has not yet been taken.
Sunday se'nnight, in the evening, the horses of the

overturned ; but we are happy to say no other mate-
