`Yo regret to state, that a number of the Spa-
nish sheep, b.:lon:6og to his Majesty, have been
killed by the violent and indecorous behaviour of
a crowd of rcrsuns, in the Park, on Sunday last.
The sheep were kept, in the day-time, except
Sundays, within the inclose's; of St. James's
Park, till about four o'clock, when they were
driven into the Queen's.garden, at the back of
. tho Queen's Palace ; but, unfortunately, the Spa-
-4 nish shepherd deviated from this rule last Sunday,
and took them within the inelosure of the Park,
pp,
the same as on another day; in the afternoon, as
he was driving them back to the Queen's-garden,
the novelty of the sight attracted a great crowd of
persons, who got among .them, which so much
alarmed the poor harmless animals, that numbers
were knocked down, and eleven of them were
trod In death ; they were all with iamb. From
the injury others received, they have since drop-
ped their lambs. The crowd behaved in the most
violent and disgraceful manner. On the door to
• the Queen's-garden, at the bottom of Constitu.
tion.hill, being opened, to let the sheep in,
they forced their way in, and paraded the
garden, iti defiance of the shepherd; they were
not content with this, but actually pelted the
shepherd with stones, and called him opprobrious
names. In consequence of this outrageous con.
duct, the sheep have been removed to Kensing-
tuit-gardens.
Mr. Cs.svEt.cv.—VVe have to announce the
death of this Gentleman, whose talents as an Ar-
tist are well known to the world. Ile was upon
a visit to a relation at Dover, where he arrived
with his Lady on Thursday last. In the evening
ns he was walking in the garden, he onfortimately
steppal too far upon a point overlooking the har-
bour, and was precipitated eighteen feet, and so
much injured by the fall, that he survived but a
very short time. He was Marine Painter to the
Duke of Ct. satxce, and had been for many
years an active and intelligent Officer in his Ma-
j•ssty's Naval service. His paintings and draw.
rigs in marine subjects are admirable; but his ta-
.lents were ii.,t confined to that dliartment; he
si as an excellent Landaeape Painter, and his
works were uniformly marked by spirit, taste,
am! truths.

Vero* men belonging to the Turman!, who set
. off in a boatto join their ship at eawsand Bay,
at twelve o'cloel., on the night of Sunday week,
were all drowned on the ridge of.rocks which runs
• from Ilsoke's 'Ovid to Mount Edgectimbe. None
s of the bodies hate yet been picked up ; but seve-
ral of t1t..1 oars, and some spars belonging to die,
buil, have been found. The practice of suffer.

genius passage, cannot he too strongly reprobated..
Last year Lieutenant FOOT, and 16 seamen, be.
logging to the Bor./icor, were sacrificed on this)
very spot, having been sent in the ship's launch',
on a very squally day, to con%ey three men to the
Salrardor, in Ilaitioaze, to be tried on charges of
which they were aftcritards unanimously ac.
quitted. .
A fund has been raised in the counties of In.
ierncss and Russ, for rewarding those mho dc.

tire animals having increased of late to an alarm-
ing degree.

NISCORTII Ir, SEPT. a27.—One of his Majes-
ty's prisitipal Reveoue Olilcers of the county of
Wexford put an end to his existence yesterday, by
tiring a pistol through his head.
BELFAST, SEPT. 26.—0 n Saturday night, be.
eight Jed nine o'clock, four fool pads, armed
Kith pistols and blildgeons, stopped a Gentle:an
on horse-back, on the road ;:etweeti I)und•mal.l
and New townards. They forced him the lush
road into an adjacent field, where they drew him
from his horse, and immediately blindfolded him
by 1.0114 his handkerchief over his eyes. They
then tied his legs together, and his two arms' be-
hind his back ; after which they proceeded to
search his puckets. Nut finding his watch, !hes•
insisted they must have it. He informed them he
had none. They replied, they would soon see,
and that if he had no money, they would cer-
tainly put him to death. In his pockets, how.
ever, they found six guinea notes, and some silver,
which they took. Having obtained this trooty,
they dragged him into a ditch, where they left
him. In this situation he remained until live
o'clock in the morning, being so tightly hound
that he could nut relieve himself. At that hour a
' woman passing, observed and rescued him. Pre-
vious to the rubbers leaving him, they asked him,
if he had heard of the rubbery of Mr. Thompson,
of Carninuney, and added, if lie- had nut, they
should sbew him the way of it. About An hoer
after they left him, whi6t lying in his deplorable
situation, he heard four shuts fired.
Between nine and ten o'clock.in the same even-
ing, and not far front the scene of the above bar.
barity, two men stopped the catriaile of the Eat i
of Londonderry, and rubbed the coachman. His
Lordship has therefore published the following
Notice:—
Whereat! my Carriage and Sena its were stappr.l return-
ing from Belfast, near mile. Stitt% Wench-green, on Saturday I

will be paid for the apprehension mid prrisecution to cosmic-
time tit the persons concerned iu this Robbery; and no appli-
cation to Goverameot n ill be made to procure the pardon of
either, who may be induced to tutu approver.
t.ON DON DERRY. -
From the number and audacious conduct of
this banditti, there is. reason to apprehend they
may continue these depredations, as the advanced
season of the year will favour their concealment.
Every niformation that may tend to discover them
ouglit to be made public, su that they may be
traced and apprehended, otherwise there is no
saving to what lengths they may carry their afro.
