.Monday, at twelve o'clock at noon, as the Rev. Dr.
Ashe was passing along Piccadilly, on his way to Tat-
tersall's, when near Apsley HOLM', he was surrounded
by three stout fellows, and robbed of a purse containing
a ltd. Bank of England note, two sovereigns, and all.
note of the Bristol Old Bank. •
F r some time past the larmers residing in the neigh-
bourhood of Peckham and Dulwich have sustained
considerable losses, in consequence of the depredations
committed in their sheep-lolds. On Wednesday morn-
ing last, Mr. Wade, of Nunhead, in visiting his fold,
di,covered the mutilated carcasses of 21 of his sheep
and ewes, which had been killed during the night.—
From the state in which they were discovered, it was
evident that some animal of considerable strength had
attacked and killed them, merely to gorge upon. their
blood, as it was only in a few instances that any part of
the flesh was torn away. Mr. Brown and Mr. Lewis,
farmers, of Peckham, alto suffered in a similar manner,
and although every expedient had been adopted for
the purpose of detecting the voracious intruder, by
placing men to watch, this object was not accoos.
plisheo until Friday last, when the person engaged on
the lock out observed a huge dog, of the Newfoundland
species, cautiously approaching the fold in which Mr.
Brown's sheep were confined. Before, however, the
man had time to strike him, the dog ran off with speed
towards the woods. The following morning he was
traced into a sequestered part of Dulwich wood, where
it appeared he had taken up his abode; from whence he
was in the habit of issuing in the night time, and com-
mitting depredations amongst the flocks belonging to
the farmers in the neighbourhood. The individual who
first discovered the dog's retreat was attacked by the,
animal, and i•bliged to climb up a tree for salety. The
dog is still at large.
THE CORN LAWS.—Thursday, a public meeting of
manufacturers and other inhabitants of Carlisle and its
neighbourhood, was held in the Coffee House Assembly-
room in that Loan. The object of the meeting was to
petition Parliament in favour of the proposed revision
of the Corn Laws. Res ilutions to this effect were adopted.
Towards the close of the meeting a body of operatives
took an active part in the prrceedings of the day, and a
resolution moved by one of them in favour of Parlia-
mentary Reform, was, after much opposition, and a
very near division, declared to be carried. In conse-
quence of this decision, many Gentlemen present declined
subset iiring to the Petition, which was to be founded on
the Resolutions. •It was in the end, thought right to
prepare two Petitions, one containing the reform clause,
and one without it. Both are to be sent off for presen-
tation on Thursday.

The woikmen whose labours had been for a time sus-
pended, in consequence of the de.tth of the Duke of

DOVER.

Sunday the Officers, Don.commissioped Officers. and privates. of
his lklajsty's troops in thy garrison, made a contribution In aid of
the fund for the distressed manufacturers, amounting to 22!. Ss. l ed.
This instance of liberality is the more creditable. as most of the
privates being recruits, are not in the full receipt of pay.
Lieut. George Pierson, of the Coast Blockade at Eastware Bay,
has seised 22 tubs of spirits, which he found floating off Folkestone
yesterday afternoon.
