FRANCE . ] Paris , Sunday . —Strong detachments of the S 6 th and 53 rd Regiments of Infantry of the line , amounting to 1 , 000 men , embarked ou the 15 th at Tonl . m for Civita VeccMa . The reinforcement to the Roman States amount to 5 , 000 men . The Bishop of Blois lies dangerousl y ill . -Letters from the department of the Pyrenees slate that snow has fallen in large quantities , " and though the da ; S are fine , yet during the nights the frost is severe . Mosday . —The ' Moniteur' announces that the Attorney-General has commenced a prosecution ggafest the directors of * La Mode , ' and against M . fie Besselievre , who signed an article containing au offence against the President of the Republic .
- The two battalions of the National Guard of "VilleneuTG-sur-Lct , have been disbanded and disarmed . A letter from Brodeaux of the 18 th inst . anacunces the arrival there of a vessel from Canton , having on board a curious collection oi Chinese arms and costumes for the Museum of Paris . The municipal elections of Cayenne have been annulled , in consequence of not having taken place in conformity with the electoral law of the 31 st of May last .
The responsible editor of 'La Mode' and M . Charles de Besselievre have been prosecuted by the Procureur of the Republic for an article of Oct . 19 th , entitled— 'Whim of a Republican of the Committee of Twenty-five '—Containing passages of offence against the person of the President of the Republic . Paris , Tuesday The ' Evenement' reports that TA . Guizot will come forward as candidate for the Cher . ii . Monialivet and the Mayor of Bourges are likewise mentioned as candidates . The ateliers de construction of the Strasburg BaBway were destroyed on Sunday night by fire and materials of great value consumed .
HESSE CASSEL . "WlLHBBHSBAO , OCT . 16 th . — The SECOND Hathau . —The improvement which suddenly commenced in our affairs has been as suddenly arrested in its course . M . Elwers required a thorough Change in the system of government ; arid as interior policy determines in nearly every state in Germany the outward relationship of the government to the two great powers , a liberal administration of Hesse Cassel would have implied at least friendship with Prussia , and a renunciation of the Austrian intimacy . Of course the Elector , who does not want a degree of good sense , must have understood tbis before he summoned M . Elwers . Perhaps his irresolution is the result of the Influence ot Count
Rechenberg , who has just arrived from Bregenz , who , we may be sure , would omit no persuasions to induce him to hold with Austria ; if no other reason , for this , that the Cassel vote is indispensably necessary to keep np a quorum at the diet . However the national cause is much nearer victory than it was a few days ago . The elector has proclaimed his Sissatisfection with Hassenpflug , in a way that will for ever prevent the exercise of power by that minister . Hassenpflu ; is likely to become such another wretched wandering outcast as Haynau . And yet the nun , with good abilities , has had fine opportnnities . He was exceedingly covetous . Hence fraud and forgery , and hence his last year ' s bargain with the Elector to do the dishonourable work of
that prince in consideration of a well-assured annuity of 4 , 000 tbalers . It must be a secret satisfaction to the reactionaries of England , especially to those who delight in deriding our first faltering steps in the path of freedom , to know that a minister can ie engaged to coerce a state for less than the salary of a foreman in a respectable manufactory . Hassenpflug must now betake himself either to Vienna or to London ; perhaps the former would be the safer place , but certainly his presence will not be tolerated in any other part of Germany . We receive the most melancholy accounts of the ntter disorganisation of the government service at Cassel , owing to the division in the departments consequent upon the summoning of several high-placed functionaries to Wilhelmsbad . Letters are
unanswered , permissions , directions , applications , are all thrown aside until it shall please the lord of this realm to let the state engine resume its work . No absence of the Elector or his ministers effected this mischief , bar probably Hassenpflug forgot this time to be selfish , and ont of sympathy for the petty tyrants of Europe determined that Germany Should not behold the dangerous spectacle of a people governing itself without the sovereign and a pack of titled and highly-paid ministers . Out of the 200 officers who tendered their resignations not more than twenty are possessed of private property , a fact Which ought not to be forgotten by the future historian of Hesse Cassel . A letter from Wilhelmsbad , dated Oct . 18 , says :
* Toe first proposals of M . Elwers have not been accepted , bnt it is not considered that the Elector will be able to fall back upon Hassenpflug and his two companions . It is stated that M . Duysing is again summoned to Wilhelmsbad , a circumstance Which seems to indicate that the Elector is preparing to secure his own and his country ' s peace by a ministry which knows how to govern within the limits of the constitution . In connexion with the asserted comtemplated abdication of the Elector it is now stated that the intention of that sovereign was to follow the example of bis father , by sharing the government with his successor . The Prince Frederick of Hesse was to have been made co-regent and actual governor , " while the Elector wonld have resided at Fiank-fort /
A letter dated Cassel , Oct . 18 th , says : — 'Preparations for the election of a new assembly are now making throughout the land , so that it is quite possible that the new chamber may meet in three weeks or a month . Now is the time for the Elector to show whether he is really inclined to an honourable and Constitutional adjustment of the present differences , or whether his professions of legality were only intended to mislead the ignorant and credulous . The latest information which has arrived from
Cassel states that owing to certain difficulties , which are not mentioned , Elwers had returned to Cassel , but had again been summoned to Wilhelmsbad , together with Councillor Scboffer . The resignation of the officers is said to have produced a terrible effect on the Elector , and to have heen the chief cause of the change in his mind . The Kteuz Zeitung , ' the advocate of unlimited obedience , finds in the resignation of these officers renewed reasons for opposing the proposal to make the army take the oath to the constitution . The Prussian constitution expressly provides that the army shall not be sworn .
IIANUYER . Oct . ISth . —The new ministry has not yet been able to assume the reins of government . The capital question , that which has chiefly led to the resignation of M . Stnve , namel y , the affairs of Hesse , was net considered so clear that the new ministry could assume the responsibility of supporting intervention in the face of all Germany . Thus , this morning hesitation still prevailed at the palace . The eight battalions , with the cavalry and infantry , ordered lately to hold themselves ready to march towards Hesse , have received no further instructions .
MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN . Hamburgh , Oct . 19 rn . —The agiiation provoked in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg , by the tela ) subversion of the constitution agreed on by sovereign and people in Idid , and sworn lo by the chief magistrate of the sta ! e , is daily gaining breadth and depth . The attitude of the population and army of Hesse is not likely to calm this feeling . There is bo doubt but that for the presence of a Prussian army , which has its quarters at Boiz ^ nhorg , ostensibly for the purpose of observing events in Holstein , grave disorders would break out .
BADEN . The official gazette contains a decree prolonging the state of siege for four weeks ; a provision is added , that no summary punishments are to exceed the measure of two months' imprisonment . BAVARIA . A letter , dated Aschaffenburg , Oct . 17 , states that the entire second army corps , consisting of eight infantry , four cavalry , and two anil . Vry regimes ts , together with four rifle battalions , have received orders to hold themselves ready lo march at a moment ' s notice . AU officers and men absent on leave were recalled , so that every company numbers 117 men . This movement is regarded as the first result of the late conferences at Bregenz .
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Advices received are from the loth . Our dragoons surprised and brought in a Danish cavalry piquet this morning from the neighbourhood of Kropp . The prisoners were an officer and three men . The resort of men to the Schleswig-Holstein standard since the government announced the intention of increasing the army , is very great , lie acJuaUumberfl are very properly concealed at

present but many persons will be astonished in lie c . iurse of a month at the army which the duchies will have on foot . The temper of the people after repeated disasters is marvellous , it is doubtful whether in any other part of Europe such fortiiude and resolution would be displayed under circumstances equally trying . The enemy however , is not idle . Colonel Flendaburg , chief of the Danish staff , is displaying on the fortifications iu Schleswig all that great technical and strategetic address for which the French school
is so famous . The Danes are throwing up works on the west aud south sides of the Island of Fehmarn and mounting them with heavy guns . The garrison there consists of 1 , 000 men . The enemy being determined that we shall not again take advantage of the Suderstapel position , bad laid the districts under water . The peasants' houses are so many islands in a watery waste . Cattle and sheep are carried away or drowned , and the fruits of the earth destroyed . The inundation extends as far as Nordarstaple and Erfde .
Hambur g , Oct . 19 th . —With the exception of the usual outpost forays , and attempts to surprise picquets and patrols , all remains quiet in the Holstein lines . Volunteers continue to arrive in considerable numbers , and so soon as the old battalions are recomputed to their full strength—that is , to 1 , 500 mea—it is probable that new or reserved battalions will be formed . The Danish journals of the 16 th state that orders have been issued for the return to Copenhagen of all the Danish ships of war , except the smaller craft , in consequence of the advanced season of the year , and its accompanying storms , which render it nearly
impossible for vessels to hold to the coast . The 'Bsrlingske' announces that ten inhabitants of Fredericbstadt were killed and thirteen wounded , during the bombardment ; their families will doubtless be provided for by the Stadtholderate . The same report says that , of 506 dwelling-houses in the town , 137 , valued at 364 , 720 marks , have been completely burned to the ground ; that 285 have been more or less damaged to the amount of 153 , 030 marks ; and that only two bouses in the whole town remain completely uninjured . The Russian fi ? et , lately in the Schleswig-Hulstein waters , has returned to Cronstadt .
The Schleswig Holstein papers contain an addrets of thanks from the army to the young women of Arolsen , a town in the Waldeckerlande . Tht address commemorates not only the patriotic industry ef these girls which has produced stockings for the soldiers in the camp and lint for the hospitals , as well as saleable articles for the bazaars and lotteries , established to increase the funds of the Schleswig-Holsteiners , but the self-denial which has led them to forego customary articles of diet in order to be able to lay by the amount saved as an offering on the altar of freedom .
PRUSSIA . Berlin , Oct . 20 th . —The Emperor of Russia , is in Warsaw , for the purpose of conferring with his vaisal , the Emperor of Austria , and of giving his powerful advice on the most vexed of all questions —the German constitution . Count Brandenburg , the president of the ministry , has been despatched by the King of Prussia to procure , if possible , the entire neutrality of the Emperor , in case the dispute concerning Hesse Cassel should become more serious than a mere exchange of insulting despatches .
The earthly remains of the poet StiegUtz have been brought to Rome , and interred by the side oi those of his unfortunate wife , who , in 1835 , deprived herself of life . Kinkel , the poet , is in Spandan , doomed to a confinement worse than that of the grave . He is not permitted to see any one , to read , or write ; books , or pens and ink are prohibited in the strictest manner . His cell is his tomb . He never leaves it . The felons confined within the same precincts are permitted daily exercise ; the political offender who has broken no laws but those against which the divine spirit of mankind rebels , is immured day and night within a cell not so large as those in the model prison at Pentonville . He complains of cold , and has in vain requested , nay , begged for warmer clothing . Unless milder treatment is adopted towards him the unfortunate poet will soon lie by the side of his departed colleague .
ROMAN STATES . Rome , Oct . 10 . —A Wholesale Military Executiox—A wholesale military execution took place here yesterday morning upon the persons of six offenders , charged with having been the principal agents in a horrible tragedy which sullied the streets of Rome with blood last year , during the early part of the siege . When the Neapolitans were at Albano , subsequently to the defeat of the French on the 30 th April , the defence of the southern walk became naturally a point of anxiety vrith the Roman government , and therefore the vineyard walls and cottages were levelled in the immediate vicinity of the city , whilst the provisions , wine , horses , and arms , they contained were brought in , so that they might not fall into the power of the enemy . No doubt such a measure was calculated to irritate
the rustics , especially as the military patrollers did net always use courteous manners in the execution of these perquisitions , one of which , in a vineyard near the » Casa d' Spiriti , ' or Haunted House , ' brought on a quarrel , which ended in the death of the cultivator of the vineyard and the capture of three of his nephews . This was on the 3 rd of May , 1849 , and it was stated at the time that some of the patrol had been killed by a party of Jesuits in disguise , but from the judicial proceedings it appears that the so-called Jesuits were bona fide countrymen , and that none of the military were killed . The patrol consisted of carbineers , or gendarmes , and national guards , led by a sergeant of
Masis's regiment . The latter suggested the story of the countrymen being Jesuits in disguise , which being supported by the discovery ot some medals and crucifixjs about their persons , was eagerly caught np by the furious populace , who crowded round the prisoners and their escort , loudly demanding Lynch law . Near the Colosseum , the advocate Galletti , then general of tbe carbineers , met the mob , and having learnt the cause of its excitement , gave orders that the prisoners should be forthwith conducted to the Castle of St . Angelo .
These directions the escort attempted to obey , bat on the piazza before the Brid ge of St . Angelo , the ferocity of tbe people burst all bonds , and the miserable prisoners were hewn to pieces and thrown into the Tibsr , when within a hundred yards of being saved . It is said that the first blow was given by a carbineer , who was informed that the prisoners were disguised Jesuits , and had killed a soldier of his regiment ; but this did not clearly result from the judicial inquiry . Altogether the affair was a complete furor populi , and the whole blame rests with the inventor of the
calumny which so excited the vindictive feelings of the mob . Those who suffered condign punish ment yesterday were the sergeant in question , three carbineers , aud a marble polisher , all from tbe Roman provinces , and a butcher , 22 years of age , a Roman born . The four military men confessed , received the last attention of the monks who accompanied them in the carts , and were shot before the other two , who obstinately refused to listen to the exhortations of their spiritual comforters . The butcher saluted his acquaintances amongst the crowd , and joked with them on the beauty of the weather ; aud the marble polisher turned his head away from the priest , exclaiming 'I . die a true
Italian . ' After some delay the mangled bodies of the four first criminals , one of whom , having risen after the ' general discharge , was obliged to receive five other successive shots , were taken before the two impenitents to hasten their determination —the horrid spectacle induced the butcher to receive the sacrament , but the other remained obdurate to the last , and was shot without being reconciled to the church . The Roman troops alone were present at the execution , which took place opposite the Temple of Vesta ; the carters tvho brought the criminals were disguised in Jong white gowns and masks , whilst the monks were arrayed in long black garments of a similar form , leaving only their eyes visible .
Oct , 14 th , —Yesterday was productive of two sad events ; the drowning of five Trastcverini , who were crossing the Tiber in a boat opposite the Temple of Vesta ; and a quarrel between Roman gendarmes and French soldiers at the Pace , near Piazza Navona , when sabres were drawn and some severe wounds inflicted . There seems to be a great deal of discontent in the corps of gendarmes at present . Tremendous discontent has been excited ill Tuscany by the virtual abolition of the constitution , and the subsequent restrictive measures adopted by the government ;
One of the favourite schemes of the Papal court at the present moment ia the re-conversion of the wealthy and powerful British empire to the Roman Catholic faith , and the Roman journals ( that is to say , the only two papers that are allowed to appear ) teem with accounts of wholesale Proselytism amongst all ranks of British subjects , but especially
France. ] Paris, Sunday.—Strong Detachme...
amongst aristocratic families , Puseyite clergymen ' and university dignitaries . NAPLES , Oct . 14 . —The domestic events of Naples are confined to a continued system of police persecution , contemptible and impolitic . A Neapolitan youth , arriving a few days since from France , brought with him a book containing ' A History of the Events of Rome from 1815 to ' 50 . ' The police immediately carried the offending strippling off to prison , and after being detained therefor a month he wag compelled to pass sixty days in a religious house . Another example of the petty tyr anny practised in Naples occurred under my own eyes ' . A fisherman of the Cbiaja had painted his
boat green , red , and white , the usual colours of the pleasure barques . from time immemorial in the bay of Naples . A capo lazzaro informed the ignorant offender that he was a carhonera . ' Wby , ' said the government spy , ' you ' ve painted your boat as a revolutionist would have suggested . ' ' How ? ' exclaimed the fisherman . 'Don't you know that green , white , and red are the colours of republicans ? If you do not pain black or white , I will have the boat burnt . ' The fisherman replied with Neapolitan vivacityf 'I have seen those colours round the royal flag ; but I suppose we are all in mourning now , so I must paint myb oat black . '
Another example of the absurd proceedings of the police may be gathered from the fact , that no one is allowed to carry a common hazel stick , as it is considered a mark of republicanism ! With such trifles , and with such absurdities , the executive of the Neapolitan government is now employed whilst the king is kept in lively personal fear hy those who surround him at Gaeta , where His Majesty has taken to reside surrounded by troops . The state trials continue , and in a few days it is expected that the fate of the accused will be settled .
SPAIN . Madrid , Oct . 16 . —It is confidently stated that the government here have sent off orders to the authorities of Cuba , to suspend the carrying into effect tbe srntences passed againstsomeof the Americans taken at Contoy , and that there is reason te hope that this cause of strife will be ultimately got rid of by their being set at liberty , as the great majority have already been .
INDIA AND CHINA . A telegraphic despatch has arrived from Trieste , containing a summary of India and China news . The dates of the intelligence are—Bombay , September 17 th ; Calcutta , September 7 ; Singapore , September 2 ; and Hong-Kong , August 24 :=-' There was a total dearth of events of political importance , and the profoundest tranquillity reigned throughout India . The works on the Calcutta Hail , way had been at last commenced . Sir Charles Napier was to begin bis homeward journey from Simla on the 5 th of November , and the Governor . General was expected to return from Konawur to Simla at the end of September . It was then expected that his lordship would visit the Punjaub . According to a report , which was considered very doubtful , Sir H .
Laurence was said to have fallen , during his travels in Cashmere , into the . hands of a tribe , who had detained him in captivity . A mutiny had broken out among some of the Nizam ' s native troops . The cholera was still prevalent in Scinde , Mooltan , and some districts of India . From Singapore we learn that Sir James Brooke had sailed from Siam on the 3 rd of August . The Indian and Chinese seas are still infested with pirates . The intelligence from China is unimportant . We are glad to state that the health of the troops in Hong Kong was improving . The difference between the Chinese and Portuguese at Macao had not been arranged . A sufficiency of rain had fallen in Bengal and the greater part of India , with the exception , however , of Bombay and Poonao .. '
AMERICA . Liverpool , Sundav . —The Royal mail steamship Niagara , Captain Ryrie , arrived in the Mersey at half-past nine , with advices from New York to the 9 th inst . The Cambria arrived at Boston on the 3 rd inst . The Niagara has 300 , 000 dollars in specie on frei g ht . The steam-ship Hermann , from Southampton , arrivi d at New York on the morning of the 9 th inst . The United States steam-ship Atlantic arrived at New York at eight a . m . on the 9 th inst . The Lotus , from Bremen , went ashore on Carritucket Island on the 2 nd inst . Upwards of £ 5 , 000 sterling in gold-dust had been received at New York ( mm California . Our accounts from Washington are unimportant . Sir H . Bulwer had denied the assertion that he hail
endeavoured to procure the recall of Squier . Great alarm prevailed amongst the coloured population of the northern cities , and hundreds had fled to Canada . San Francisco accounts of September 1 st state that the prospects of commerce were auspicious . Rich fruits were being yielded by the mines and quartz rocks . The Fugitive Stave Bill was creating great excitement , and several arrests had taken place . Nothing else of importance had transpired in the political world .
NEW SOUTH WALES . The advices from Sydney extend to the 1 st of August . The only important item of intelligence that we can glean is to the effect that on the 27 th of July the declaration of the result of the poll in the election of a representative in tbe legislative council for tbe city of Sydney was made by the mayor , who announced that the numbers were , for Dr . Lang , 970 ; for Mr . Holden , 945 ; being a majority of twenty-five in favour of Dr . Lang , who was consequently declared duly elected . At the conclusion of the Doctor ' s address , he was dragged home in his carriage by some of the more energetic of his partisans , the horses having been removed by them for that purpose .
The Murders By Poison At Laugharne, Carm...
THE MURDERS BY POISON AT LAUGHARNE , CARMARTHENSHIRE . Last week we gave the result of the inquiry into the cause of death of tho servant girl ] of Mr . P . Severno , of Laugharne , and tho protracted inquiry before the coroner as to the death of tho lady of that gentleman has at length been brought to a close , tit which tho following additional evidence was produced : —Mr . John Hughes , the coroner of Carmarthen , and who is also a surgeon , deposed to having made an analysis of a pneket containing sugar of lead , which he received from Police-sergeant Soars . Tho words " sugar of lead" were written on the paper . Ho analysed ifc with the view of detecting arsenic , bnt found it to contain nothing but supcracctate of lead , with a small portion of sulpher . —Marc-tret John deposed that she
resides at St . Clears , and has been iu the habit of going backwards and forwards to Mr . Severne ' s , Remembers the period of Mrs . Severne ' s death . Saw Mrs . Sevcrne tho day after the fair , she was then very well . Knew Betsy Gibbs very well . They hntl some conversation together on a Saturday afternoon , after Mrs . Severne ' s death . It was before Rebecca Uphill ' s death . It was on the day that warning was given to Betsy Gibbs . She cried , and said she should be oblige to leave . Sho also ^ aid that Mrs . Severno , in her lifetime , had said to her that she hoped that she ( Betsy Gibbs ) would be Mr . Severne ' s second wife . Witness told her not to grieve , that she would get another plnco quite as good . Betsy replied that she thought she
would be obliged to leave Brixton ( Mr . Severne ' s house . ) Witness never saw her afterwards . —John David deposed that he went up to Mr . Severne ' s on tho Sunday that Mrs . Severno died . Ho saw Betsy Gibbs afterwards ; she began crying , and . Sftj u „„„ had lost her mistress . Witness asked her how Jon " Mrs . Severne had been ill . Betsy Gibbs ' said that she had not been ill long , but she was unablod to go to church with master because she ( Mrs . Severno ) had drank a pint of whisky that morninc befovo her master went to church . Witness did ° not believe her , and thought she was telling lies . Betsy Gibbs said that she herself had given the whisky to Mrs . Severno . She also said that Mrs . Severne got up about eleven o ' clock , but was almost immediately
compelled to go to bed again . She also told witness that she herself had given Mrs . Severne some broth about one o'clock , a short time before' her master returned from church . The two other servants then came down into the kitchen , and Betsy Gibbs did not say anything more . On the , day of the funeral witness had some further conversation with her , and she ( Betsy Gibbs ) then told him that on tho Thursday before her mistress died she ( Mrs . Severne ) drank two pints of whisky . —At this period of the inquiry , Mr . Severne , who was prosent , in a state of great agitation addressed the
Coroner , and denied m the most emphatic manner that Mrs . Severne had drank any whisk y on the day o f her death ; and as to her drinking any whisky on the Sunday morning , it was an utter imposibility lor her to have done so withou t his knowledge , as ho had seen her a very short period previous to his going to churoh . ^ -Tho Coroner replied that Mr Severne s own evidence contradicted the statement of Betsy Gibbs , and that it only showed that sho was exceedingly anxious to account for tho death of Mrs . Severne .-William derrick deposed that he was m the kitchen before twelve o ' clock at noon , when Betsy Gibbs told him her mistress was very poorly ; but she said nothing else then . Witness

went out , and in the afternoon went to chapel . On his return he went into the kitchen , and uetsy Gibbs and himself were alone . She came down stairs from Mrs . Severne's room . WitawsMkod her , « ' How is mistress now ? " She rep lied , « hue is very poorly , " and added , " She will not bo long now . " Another time , when witness had some conversation with Betsy Gibbs ; shetold witness before Rebecca Uphill ' s death , that ' She »« J « f Jho smell of a corpse in the room , and that Rebecca Uphill would not live . " On tho night of Rebecca s death , -Betsy Gibbs said to him , after she was dead , " I am so glad that Mary Uarry is here , as her father may say that I gave her something , meaning Rebecca Uphill ' s father . The Coroner then viewed the whole of the evidence , and the jury , after a short consultation , returned a vcrdiot of Wilful Murder against Elizabeth Gibbs , who stands already comm itted for the murder of Rebecca Uphill .
Extensive Robbery Of Jewellery In The St...
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY IN THE STRAND . Haroiynas the great excitement caused by the late numerous provincial robberies and burglaries began to subside than it is again roused to perhaps a still greater pitch than before by the fact that a large jeweller's and silversmith ' s in the Stran i was entered in the middle of Monday night , and property stolen therefrom to the amount of between £ 2 , 000 and £ 3 , 000 . Tho house in which the robbery Was committed is on the left side of the Craven Hotel , Strand , directly facing the Golden Cross coach-yard ; and the shop from which tho valuable property has been abstracted belongs to Messrs . Claphamand Williams , silversmiths and jewellers , one of the oldest established houses in the Strand . The hour at which the robbers must have entered is
supposed to bo about three o'clock , but how an entry was effected there is not the slightest circumstance to show . The property stolen is diamonds of great value and other precious stones , which were not set , also a great number of rings and watches . There is not tho shadow of a doubt but that plate was the desideratum with the burglars , as Messrs . Williams and Clapham are celebrated for their massive plato services , but fortunately in this they were doomed to be disappointed , as the greater portion was removed from the front shop into an inner shop , and there safely encased in a plate chest . As far as the robberies are known , it is stated that the whole of the plunder might be placed in a man's pocket . The robbery was first discovered on Tuesday morning , about seven o ' clock , when the
shopman came as usual . To his astonishmeut the right door was ajar , slightly fixed , and , on pushing it open , he discovered that the carpet and chairs had evidently been moved from the position in which he had left them the previous evening , about ten o'clock . He immediately raised au alarm , and , calling for the constable on the beat , they immediately made a search , but the robbers had of course fled before daylight appeared . Information was at onco given at Scotland-yard , also at Bow-street , and from the latter place Inspector Dodd at once hastened to tho spot . He made all the necessary inquiries , and then dispatched Sergeants Thompson
and West to take charge of the affair . Inspectors Lund and shaw , the two detective officers , also made an examination of the premises , and already have they attached suspicion to two parties . It would , of course , be unadvisable to mention tho names of tho suspected persons , as that might defeat the ends of justice ; but at all events these officers are quite satisfied , from the clue which they have already discovered , that they will be able to place the delinquents at the bar of justice before another three days have passed . The robbery has created the greatest excitement amongst the numerous silversmiths with which the Strand abounds .
Mutiny At Sea,-~Thc English Barque Resol...
MUTINY at SEA ,- ~ Thc English barque Resolution , Captain James Carmichael , which has arrived nt Malta from Alexandria , laden with a cargo of wheat bound to England , put into that port , chiefly on account of the mutinous conduct of a part of the crew , who refused to work the ship or give any assistance when the vessel made water ; declaring they would sooner see her go down than take a spell at the pumps . On coming into port , the vessel being short handed , and a sudden gush of wind at the time catching her , she nearly got onshore , whilst the five mutinous seamen were sitting in the long boat enjoying the situation of the vessel . The master lost no time in landing the men in the Lazzaretto , where thoy were arraigned . before a magistrate and condemned to one month ' s juiprisonnient for their mutinous behaviour , and another month for refusing to proceed in the ship . A Nbw Fire Alarum . —An opportunity was
afforded on Tuesday of witnessing a now and ingenious contrivance for giving alarm in case ol tire . It is the invention of a genlemau named Robinson , of Great Queen-street , Westminster , and consists of a series of g ' utta percha strings , which are intended to be so fixed throughout the different compartments of a house or warehouse that they shall communicate with a bell attached to the outer door . These strings of gutta percha are made to intersect each other in various directions , so that the application of fire to any part of them will cause them to break , and thus make tho boll ring by depriving it of the support it receives from being inclose contact with tho street door . The principle is a very simple one , and if adopted in warehouses and other large establishments , where a person might be employed to adjust the apparatus . may prove advantageous .

Therapeutics . —The history of medicine is bv no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more is
Ad00210
known of diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this moment , than in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are quite as numerous , and in the aggregate as fatal . Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; . each has boasted in its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been con damned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled ; in fact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more ' than conjectural ? 'At this moment , ' says Mr .
