A pensioner of Greenwish Hospital went last Mon-
day to Charlton Fair, and on his return to Green-
wich he, to his great surprise, found in one of his
coat pockets a handsome silk purse, with a gilt clasp,l
containing a draft for L:JO, payable three months af-
ter date, drawn by a person at Woolwich. The pen-
sioner, very properly, immediately gave it up to the
Lieutenant Governor of the Hospital, who has caused
the proper officer to write to the party whose signa-
ture appears to the draft. It is conjectured some
pickpocket stole the purse in the fair, and having se-
cured what money it might have contained, dropped
it, with the draft, into the pensioner's pocket, to pre-
vent their being found upon his own person.,
Yesterday morning, as Wyatt and Audley, Con-
stables, were passing along the road near Smith's-
fields, Battle-bridge, several shots struck Wyatt about
the head, from the gun of a young man/ named
mot, who was shouting sparrows. He was taken for
the assault.

A horse and gig yesterday suddenly disappeared
near the entrance of Russell Mews, the ground un-
der them giving way. They fell a considerable depth,
but without serious injury. The cause of this acci-
dent was the rotten state of a subterranean arching
across the road.

Monday night some fellows threw a squib into the
parlour of the Windsor Castle public house, in the
City-road, and during the consequent confusion, con-
trived to enter the landlord's bed-room, and steal
therefrom £ll9 in bank notes, two guineas, two so-
vereigns, 1:50 in silver, and plate, &c. to a conside-
rable amount, with which they got off undiscovered.
LONDONDERRY, OCT. 20.—The heavy rain which
fel! or. Tuesday morning last, swelled the rivers to
such a degree, as to carry away several bridges in
this neighbourhood ; the bridge of Carrowkeel, from
which nine young men and women were viewing the
exert•ons of a duck which had been carried down the
river by the flood gave way, and they all fell into
the abyss of the deep, and but three of them were res-
, cued from a watery grave.
