pen full of pigs—and, not content with this, the furious beast
leaped into the pen, and trampled both pigs and man in a
dreadful manner. The policeman lies in .a dangerous state.
The infuriate animal then ran down Qneen-stree, and caught
up a pig on her horns, which was instantly killed. A woman
was also dreadfully injured in the same street ; and a gentle-
man in Blackhall-street met with some severe bruises from
being knocked down; but the most serious accident of all
occured to Dr. Metcalf, of 18, Blukhall-street, who at
present lies, we regret to say, in a very serious state from in-
juries received by him from the horns of the animal. The
cow ran on and upset several men in Blackball-place and
Stoney-batter, all of whom were more or less injured. In
its headlong course the animal ran into Mr. Reed's meal-
stores in Stoney-hatter, and after committing dreadful rava-
ges there, it was at length despatched by a smith, who killed
it with a tremendous blow of a sledge in the forehead.—

A GANG OF BURGLARS IN SUFFOLK.—Considerable
excitement prevails in the parish and neighbourhood of La-
venham, in Suffolk, from the discovery of a gang of depre-
dators, who have infested the neighbourhood for some time
past. On the night of Tuesday, the 20th ult., the ware-
house of Mr. Bobby, grocer, of Lavenham, was entered by
a false key. Three men commenced filling some bags with
sugar and other articles. Mr. Bobby and his men were on
watch ; observing the entrance of the thieves, they fastened
the doors in order to secure them, until the arrival of fur-
ther assistance, but there being another entrance, consisting
of double doors, the thieves forced their way out, and were
making off, when Mr. Bobby fired a pistol, and the ball
whizzed so close to the head of one of them that he fell
down from fright and was secured. Mr. Bobby's man snap-
ped another pistol which missed fire, and the other two made
their escape. They were traced in the direction of fleding-
ham, where the parties in pursuit obtained the assistance
of the Essex constabulary, and succeeded in apprehending
them at a beer-shop. The three men in custody are named
Rust, Bere, and Smith, natives of Lavenham. They have
since been taken before the Rev.— Johnson, of Lavenham,
when Rust and Bere were committed for trial, and Smith
was disrtharged, for want of
From a statement
made by one of the prisoners, it appears that the gang con-
sisted of about 15, who were chiefly engaged in robbing
malt-houses, and plans bad been laid for plundering two:or
three others.—Norwich Mercury.

The magistrates of Hull were engaged on Wednesday in
investigating a charge of a very extraordinary nature, Pre-
ferred by Sir Felix Booth, against a young_
man named Felix
Booth, second cousin and godson to the hon. baronet, and
whom the latter charged with having, a few days avo, written
and forwarde'd through
a letter, dated Horner-square, Hull,
the general post to the London residence of Sir Felix Booth,
naking a claim for money alleged to be due, and threatening,
it were not paid, to bring Sir Felix before a court of
justice on a charge of comruiting an atrocious crime in the
year 1838. The letter,,long rambling one, having been
read, the prisoner was asked what he had tag say in answer to
the charge of writing the letter. He admitted, at once, that
it was his writing, and that he had written fifty such, but
denied that the object was to extort. money. He said that
money was due to him. A very great amount of correspond-
ence was read, g all breathing affection and esteem, so long as
pecuniary aid was
given ; when that ceased, every effort-
ap-
