Dr. Ashe was passing along Piccadilly, on his way to Tattersall'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 neighbourhood of Peckham and Dulwich have sustained considerable losses, in consequence of the depredations committed in their sheep-lolds. On Wednesday morning 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 committing 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.
