CAUTION TO OwNEtRsu OP1)OGs.-Yesterday moriilng between 5 and 6 o'clock, as an hestler was exercising a couple of horses in the neighbourhood ot' Charles.square, Citv. roaR, a large bull-dog, that Nvas following a bricklayer's la: bourer, ferociously sprang upon one of the horses, and tore his side in amost shocking manner. The horse broke froin his hold, and ran down Brunswick-place towards the Citv-road. The dog pursued hiwi, and seized his throat, and did not 4uit his hold till the horse dropped down exhausted by the loss of blood. He then attacked the other horse, upon which the hostler wvas mounted, in the same -,anner, which caused htim to take fright, and throw his rider, who pitched head-foremost upon a curb-stone. The first horse that was attacked cannot possiblv live, and the other, though likely to re- cover, is so much mangled as to render it certain that hc will not be fit even for a common hack. Butfor the soor hostler, he is in a very hopeless condition, for unfortunately it was the crownt part of his head which struck the stone. From this accurate statement, it is clear that the owner ef the (log ought, as an example to others, to be severely punished for suffering such a dangerous animal to be at li- berty i for it is manifest, by such extreme negligence, both property and life are likely to be destroyed. FiftE.-Yesterday inornisig, between twelve and one o'clock, the inhabitants of Deptford were greatly alatmed by the breaking out of a fire in an extensive timber-vari, situate in Far- rell's-butildings, Lower-road. The flames rajed with such hnpetu- osity as at first to threaten destruction to the houses in the vicinity, without the probability of checking their progress, but by the united and very great exertions of the neighbours and the firemen, who had arrived with the London engines, it w;s very fortunatelv got under, but not before the whole of the stables, outhouses, sheds, and everv thing belonging to the premises, were consumed. The appearance of the flames was awfullv dreadful, from the quanti y of dry tin)- ber, which blazed until it was quite reduced to ashes, and the pro- muses now present nrthiLu but a heap of ashes. The horses were burnt to death in the sta6les, without the possibility of any persotu attempting their rescue. fAdvertisement.].-We feel infinite pleasure in assuring our read- e-s, that the collection of noble Lions, enormous Boa Constrictor, Serpents. aad numerous other rare specirners of living curiostties, in the King's iMenageric, Tower of London, far surpasses aniu tihing of the kind we ever beheld, and considering-first, that the price of admissiou is one shilling-secondly, that no extra charge is made at the feeding time, wvhich is three o'clock dtily-and la&tly, that fromn their great numbers they are obliged to be classed in five departmnents, we mustvnonounce it, in justire to the conductor, to be the most economical aid interesting exhibi'ion in the kingdoni. tAdvertigement.1-Rlcrf UPEjS'LTERV.SILrS, &C.-Coorxi and SON, Upholders, 93, Bqihopsgate-stroet-within, tespectfully so- licit the attention of the nobilitv and gentry to the superb and ele- gant manufacture of silk damasks, tabouzets. &c.. which, in conse- quence of the reduced duty on silk, they are now e,abic:d to offer on terms no comparatively moderate as must establisb, this iagnificen- description of furniture for drawin-r-ronms, boudoirs, saloons, &c., Sn preference to the inferior articles l i.herto in use.
