TR, AIMS KELLY'S THEATRE. We were much delighted by a on Saturday last to this very elegant little place of amusement in Dean-stieet, Sdhoi square. The time was erst when the name of " Miss Kelly' s was enough to draw a crowded audience to any house. Her sweetly modulated voice, h r just conception, her truthful act ing, and her unstained reputation, were attributes which ren ablid hI I It Once Ole favourite and the admiration of the whole Misi Relit has lett none of her powers of former days; her voice is as sweet as ever; lief eoneeption juster, more truthful still her acting, untainted yet lier fbpfttation; and yeti we grieve to say it, Miss Kelly and her company nightly flak to almost empty benches. Can it be that a fickle public has deserted the old favourite? We can scarce believe it. Can it be that Miss Kelly's little theatre is unkisown to the public geriefilly 'We think it is, and to that cause. and that alone, do we ascribe the tefy liddt honse which we beheld on Satur day. Miss Kelly is an ictregs tshose untiring zeal and perseverance, united with the verj , eteellent bill of fare which she always presents, deserves the gnpre. and countenance of the public; and we are sure her theatre eitilif requires to be known to be universally visited. The enteyfainnients on Saturday consist d of the clever little farce of Pie Intripile, the &lima of The Miller's Maid ,and the farce of The Irish J'iifoi, Stith between pieces. L. Schully's much admired Rondo a la Chasse, eieduted in a most masterly style on the guitar, by Herr Otto Feder. In the first piece, every actor was perfection ; not one, indeed, of the whole cots appears to be mediocre, they are all first .rate in the parts as- Signed to them ; Mr. Kinloch, Mr. Garth , J. W e bster, and fllfss boulder vt-efe excellent. In The Miller's Maid, Miss Kelly sustained her Original character of Phoebe, and that most admirably : It has netef fallen to our lot to witness a more exquisite piece of acting—spurning all !lefty attempts at stage effect, nut even painting her face to add unnattiral e,rdt!t3. Miss Kelly is content to be natural—truly natural she is, iii d with nature to back her, she could not but succeed. Mr. Grafton, as Giles, was a'so admirable, his acting was true to life ; indeed; Miss Kelly appears to have infused a spirit of na•ure over the whole horse I every actor, every thing is natu ral. We did not like Webstef in this piece, he is not suited for a sailor nor a walking gentleman; the dashing little active tiger, or the bouncir.g servant are his forte, and in those cha racters we advise him to stick. Mr. Aybffee, Mr. H. C. Welt; and Mrs, Benson, were very good. The entertainments con gliided; bk partjcular desire, with the lance of The Irish Tutor and herd Mr. H. Datnilten: from Liverpool, as Terry O'Rourke, afterwards Dr. O'Toole, was itlitttitable. Strongly did he re mind us of poor Power, whom, we real Pet to have seen in this character, and we think we may safely put Higititott down at one of the best personators of Irish characters at present eff ille Stage: he house is exquisitely fitted up, the audience is seigti; t tiottld strongly recommend the lovers of pure legitimate (fanatic tikhli§ to pay a visit to Miss Kelly's theatre.

The result is that the sugar, *bleb may be had at Hamburgh or Bremen, or " under lock " in the London stfel tiverpoOl warehouses, costs the British consumer 405., or cent, per eent. more. The export has of course ceased, and the reVetlite has of course declined, No one ventures to dispute these kis. and, indeed, being chronicled in the public Gazette, they are indisputable. Now, the quantity of sugar 'eonSuilied in 1841 was above 200,000 tons, or better than 4,0M,000 dvt'tSs; Oil which the monopoly charge of 20s. the cwt. makes full' millions sterling. Here item sum equal to what Sir I. Peel calculates on receivitig from the Income tax, Irish stamps, Irish whiskey, and coal duty t and if, under a free trade, every farthing of it were toted as a sugar duty, the whole might go into the public Treasury, and the supply of sugar be larger and cheaper than it is noW. But what says our great sugar manufacturer and small Chancellor of the Exchequer to this state of things ? Why, that the price of sugar is " not execs- sive." The poor Englishman is called upon to pay a shilling for what might be got, and what ail other people do actually get, for a sixpence, and his great consolation is the assurance of a West. India proprietor that the extra charge of 100 per cent. is " not excessive." It would do Mr. •Gloulburn ser vice, as a statesman, to set up a grocer's shop for a few mouths, and see what his customers would say of his prudence or his honesty when, boasting all the while of moderate prices, he attempted to sell for a shilling what was intrinsically worth but a sixpence, and what all respectable tradesmen were actually selling at that sum. Moderate and modest as Mr, Labouchere is, almost to a fault, even he was provoked to tell Mr. Goulburn that in this he spoke more as a West India Proprietor than as Chancellor of the Exchequer. And now for the virtual President of the Board of Trade. The proposal of Mr. Labouchere, be says, would hardly save a penny a pound in sugar, so that there was no reason to expect from it " any great or sudden relief to the consumer." This is thoughtless and blundering. Mr. Gladstone's own statement of the consumption of last year was 200,003 tons, and this year he estimates that it will be much higher: Let us call it, then, 200,010. This will make 448,022,400 pounds on each of which there would be a penny saved , and this would amount to 1,866,7601., or a national saving which is much nearer to two than to one million sterling. Every 20s. thus saved would buy a hundred weight of Cuba or Porto Rico sugar, equal in average quality to our Muscovado, the result of which would be to multiply our consumption of a necessary of life by an amount approaching to near one-half more than our present penurious supply, " - This is perhaps not so "great and sudden a relief as might be given to the people, but it is notwithstanding something very respectable t and, to be plain, in value 1 1 _ ENVIRONS OF LONDON. • and efficiency, of itself, far exceeds the united amount of ; ,7 Second.

Pardon me for venturing on these suggestions which certainly are not intended to. imply reproach, but justify my, own presumption in now offering to take an active and continuous part in working any practical plan of obtaining' our legitimate object, Let me add, for your consideration, that it would be great importance to have an active Committee formed to report "True _History" of each borough at the election in which bribery prevailed. I believe this y include nearly all. It is by this time o uid the known in each such locality, by public but au thentic report, under what circumstances and by what agency each seat was obtained. A Report, founded on local enquiries approaching the truth as nearly as may be attainable, would influence the pub lic mind, perhaps, to a considerable degree, and may also excite a salutary indignation against the present class legislators, and cause them to be convicted of the turpi tude of being a " gang of bribers." If one only borough was exploded by such a Committee as I suggest, then there would 131 value even in that ex posure--a value which would accumulate in proportion to the number exposed. I hare the honour to be, Your faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. J. Roberts Black, Esq., Secretary. PARLIAMENT OR THE POLICE. We may be peculiarly constituted ; but if we sought to avoid the tedium of life by the rational employment of our time, certainly, with the police force open to us, we would rather have "A, No. 1" upon our collar, than M.P. appended to our name. Much more pleasant, more healthful, more interesting to our immortal part would be to us—a nightly duty in Parliament -street, than a Highly sitting in the House of Commons. The police constable observes life ; has the consciousness of autho rity simmering at his heart ; can give his unchecked opi nion on men and . things as they present themselves to his midnight meditations; he has also the pure air of heaven about him; and, if he have any astronomical aspirations, may let his soul daily with both Ursa Major and Ursa )4inor, and receive immortal sustenance from the Milky Way. He may contemplate the misery of drunkenness and riot, and such morality, "as a weasel sacks eggs," from the profligacy of mankind. There is nothing in his beat that, with a well-ordered mind, he may not — fires and riots expepted—" turn to prettiness and favour." Nay, even a conflagration may minister t o his moral dignity ; he thereby perceiving—as often occurs in eases of non-insurance—how fleeting and ceptive are the gifts of fortune, seeing that a tradesman may be waked from a dream of double profits, to leap, with all his pro perty in one shirt upon his back, from a three-pair win dow. We are stedfast in our belief. A philosopher— ity, Diogenes himself—might have worthily employed his lanthorn as a police-constable. Such a functionary feels that he really is somebody. He treads the flag stones the embodiment of vigilance and honesty. If a blow be dealt upon the subject, OR the instant he appears, to lay hands upon the evil-doer ; if, " stop thief" were wafted on the breezes of the night, in two . minutes, at most, he grasps the felon's collar. And, in addition to the sense of public utility, conies the sweet ness of a salary. He not only keeps the peace, but is paid for keeping it. He labours continually in the public good, and takes money for his pains. Turn we to the picture of the dumb Member of Parliament—to the mere manikin of legislation. He takes his seat at Rig o'clock : seven, eight , it may be nine, mortal hours— deducting an occasiona l shirk to Bellamy's—has he to remain nailed to his seat. Contrast his enjoyments with the delights of the policeman.

FATAL C6NFLICt IN ENNISLFIZIGHTFUL PROCEEDINGS. DUBLIN, JUNE L—The Limerick Chronicle, received this morning, contains the following appalling details of the occurrences in Ennis, county Clare. The affair had been even more sanguinary than would appear from that statement. According to the Limerick Chronicle, which is a Tory journal, there was an indiscriminate slaughter," and " every person in authority, Magistrates as well as police-officers, deny having given orders to fire." The inquest is in progress, and terrible excite- merit prevails. The circumstances of the attack by the people on Mr. Bannatyne's flour -stores, and the riot and loss of life which ensued, we gave on Saturday. Subsequently we have learned the following further particulars The following is the list of the casualties whieh, we lament to find so extensive. The wounded persons were brought to the county infirmary, and received every attention from the resident surgeon,• Dr. -G. O'Brien :—Catherine Fallon, shot in the head, died since admitted into hospital% Peggy Kean, wounded in the thigh, not dangerous ; Peggy M`Gennis, in the leg, not likely to recover ; J. Burley, shot in the inn, broken ; M. Leary, received three balls in the thigh, broken ; J. Tobin, shot in the calf of the leg. ; J. Shanks, shot in ditto ; Edward Sullivan, shot in the groin ; J. Hennessy, in the - .thigh, not dangerms ; F. Noylan, shot in the arm, not dangerous ; Michael Mac- Damara, two shots in the calf of the kg, broken; Thomas Darcy, wounded in the back ; Thomas Ma ronv, in the thigh, not dangerous ; James Fitzgibbon, a' blind man, shot through both calves of the legs, not l dangerous ; and D. Fallon, policeman, eye broken by, a stroke of a stone. ENNIS, TUESDAY.-7-A man, named Leary, has just expired in the county infirmary, from the effects of shots received during the riot last evening. Ennis is in a very ala ming state ; the bellman has been sent round the town brsome evil emissaries, for the purpose of collect ing a mob at the market-place before the hour of two. o'clock this day. The populace have refused all offers of pacification, openly declaring that nothing will satisfy them but blood! The cry through the town all this day is—Assemble, until we have blOod fOr blood ! Large crowds had collected at the Market-place at two o'clork. Mr. Bridgeman, the borough representa •tive, accompanied by Mr. Cullinan, local crown solicitor, Mr. Knox, Mr. J. Magrath, and others, visited the ground, in order to suppress the spirit of revenge which was evidently brooding over the wounded victims of last night's disastrous conflict. Mr. 'Bridgman said—Boys, I am come amongst you in consequence of having heard the bellman call a meet ing of the inhabitants ; that, in my opinion, was an in-_ judicious course, and I hope it will not be persevered in. I promise that you shall have a full and fair investiga tion of all the circumstances. "Instead, therefore, of as sembling in any unlawful manner, collect what informa tion you can, and let. it be produced at the inquest. We will prosecute the thing in a legal manner—the law will protect you—and depend upon it you shall have justice. Mr—Cullinan—Fellow-townsmen, it is not often that I address you, but I believe you H ill admit that -when ever you put your confidence in me you were not be trayed.— (" No, no.") I never gave you any advice calculated to lead to bad consequences.—(Hear, hear.) I am local Crown prosecutor for this county, and it is my duty to punish you if you offend as well as those that offend you, and I promise that as far as I can go you shall have protection. There has been blood shed; I don't know by whom, but I hear it has been shed wan tonly ; therefore, get all the information you can for the inquest. A Voice—We must have blood for blood ! Mr. Cullinan—That is not the manner to proceed .; it is by quietness and firmness. We shall bring the case before the Crown, and then, if warranted, before the Judge of Assize. Appeal to the laws of your country alone ; for last night's work will fully prove that you have no redress to get by facing an armed party of police.—(Hear, hear.) There is one fact which I wish to mention, and by which it appears the crowd were offering no resistance when fired at. Most of those in jured were wounded in the back.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Cullinan, in conclusion, assured the people that he would give every assistance in investigating the matter fully. The crowds dispersed, but only to settle themselves in other parts of the town. The excitement increases every moment, and it Dow appears that all the Magis trates deny having given orders to the police to fire on the night before ; nothing can equal the inflammatory excitement—the police under arms in barracks, and a party parading the town. Mr. C. O'Connell has just ' addressed the people at the court-house, and expressed his intention of convening a meeting after the inquest. There are two of the supposed rioters dead in hos pital, and more in a dying state ; in fact, all the cases in hospital, except three or four, are considered dan- gerous. TUESDAY NIGHT, EIGHT o'CLocK.—The excitement caused by last night's appalling catastrophe still con tinues unabated. This indiscrimnate slaughter has created a sentiment of horror in the public mind, as it is affirmed that no cause existed to warrant the adoption of such extremes ; no matter how conflicting the accounts given on the sad business, on this point all appear to agree. A detachment of the 85th, from Limerick, arrived here about three o'clock yesterday, special request having been made for that purpose ; they remain under arms at the police-barrack in Gaol-street. A short time precious to the opening of the inquest Mr. C. O'Connell addressed the people in the court house. He 'denounced, in most unqualified terms, the promoters of this " bzse and bloody 'murder," and ex horted the people to forbearance, as by that alone they could obtain redress. " They thought," continued Mr.- 0 Connell, "that because their party were in power they could do what they pleased; but I say, though they are of a party with the present Government. that Govern ment is not entirely so unjust as to deny fair, impartial, aye, retributive justice, to her Majesty'; faithful, loyal, peaceable, and unoffending subjects.—(Cheers.) There are already two victims sent to their account,' and seventeen others lie without a hope of recovery. If we do not receive justice in this way, if quietness will not answer, I say, and I care not if her Majesty's Attorney- General heard me, that if we are denied justice for this reckless and barbarous murder, we are resolved, nay, ready to justify ourselves."—(Tremendous cheering.) Mr. O'Connell then went on to say that it was reported that others beside the police had signalised themselves in this cowardly attack. Gentlemen amateurs," who, now that the season for shooting grouse and partridge is over, turned their murderous weapons to the destructien of their fellow-beings. ' Strange as it may appear, every person in authority, ' Magistrates as well as police-officers, deny having given orders to fire ; it is, therefore, contemplated to have every man who was on duty at the time severally exa- mined. _ An inquest was held on the body of Andrew O'Neill, 1 the boy, and Catherine Faby , alias Sheehan, and has I been held by the Magistrates, who, after inspection of the 1 bodies, separated till Wednesday. WEDNESDAY MORNING,' SIR •O'CLOCK.—The pollee patrolled the streets throughout the night, and though crowds were to a late hour collected in different parts of the town, no disposition to riot or breach of the peace was observable. Every other feeling seems to be lost in anxiety for the issue of the inquest, and at this early hour groups of persons are sauntering through the streets. The Coroner was to take his seat at eleven, and proceed to business immediately. An express policeman rode into this garrison from Ennis yesterday morning, and, in half an hour after, Colonel Mansel had forwarded on the road to that quarter a detachment of the 85th, from the Castle barracks, under command of Lieutenant Grey. At live o'clock, last evening, another pressing letter , from the Magistrates having been received by the 'nail coach, demanding more reinforcements, Captain Bell's troop of the sth Dragoon Guards proceeded hence at a ' smart trot to the scene of danger. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Never have we seen so large or so gay an assembly as was collected on Saturday within the grounds at Chiti wick. The i continued beauty of the weather banished those doubts and fears which so often arise in the minds of the English fair, when they contemplate an out-of doors entertainment ; and for weeks past, the office of the Horticultural . Society has been assailed by longi n g a pplicants for tickelit; , Yesterday no less than 3,000 were issued, and. the Whole, Inifilber ' taken amounted to 20,000. Indeed; the demand was ' greater than the supply, and some tickets which were set aside as a last resource, in case of need, were exhausted.

Emmanuel Count de Las Cases, Marquis of Caussade, traced his issue to a noble family, one branch of which, established in Spain, produced the very worthy and noted Bishop of Chiapa, Barthelemy de Las Cases, whose historic and other works have kng placed him in the first degree of literary eminence. At the period, antecedent to the Revolution, Las Cases was an officer of Marine. At the time, how ever, when the nobles of the country emigrated in great numbers from France, Las Cases in 1791, became one of their number. He then made the campaign of 1792 in the capacity of a simple volun teer, and afterwards embarked at Rotterdam, and finally came to London. While in our metropolis he sedulously applied himself to the compilation and arrangement of a large historical and geographical ,Atlas (Atlas Historique et Geographique), which he published under the pseudonym of " Lesage." At .the close of 1779, Las Cases returned to France, where he for some time carried on the trade of a bookseller; and in 1804 published in a new form his " Atlas," which he had subsequently much enlarged and brought to some degree of perfection. Warmly attached to Napoleon, he was made by the latter a Baron of the Empire in 1808, and begged permission to make, as a volunteer only, the Antwerp campaign in the following year. After this expe dition, he was appointed Chamberlain to the Emperor, and subsequently, a Master of Requests, in the section of the Marine. Some time afterwards he was charged with a mission into Holland, ..and in .1811 presided at the Council for the Liquidation of the Public Debts in the Illyrian Provinces. . A ft er the disasters of Waterloo, Napoleon having been compelled a second time to quit France, M. de Las Cases, solicited permission to accompany him, arid - he followed him to St. Helena, with one of his sons, His society was both a resource and a conso lation to the proscribed Monarch ; and during this pe riod he taught the Emperor the English language, and wrote, under his dictation, several historical me moirs. For causes which cannot be examined into or developed in a memoir of this nature, Las Cases was arrested, with his son, on the 27th of November, 1816, by order of Sir Hudson Lowe, and conveyed to the Cape of Good Hope, where he suffered a long captivity. Being conducted from thence into England, he was cast upon the Continent, and wan dered about some time escorted as a prisoner. On ru. :* arrival. at Frankfort, liberty was granted him I. 4idel : the protection of • Austria. For two years he soj o urn - ' et : in Belgium, and then returned to France, sled himself in his retreat by putting which he had brought from St:lielena.

An o ld ace,alant between Jean Roche, of 'is, and Jean Dur an d, o f oexposed anfd sLeattlßemasetnidt,e'shOltwsin; a fa ba r balance aiccl‘ as 1821, brought t o a . of 2,000 francs due to Roche, which Durand was to pay , by small instal ments. In 1829 Roche d ied, and if: appeared by his books that he had int the meantime received from Durand no more than between 300 end 400 francs on account. The business of Durand hasl been given up by him to his son, who engaged to pay all his father's debts. Applications were made to Linn by the family of Roche to pay, or at least gradually "educe his balance due to them. Ile constantly pleado pop yerty, and in the most bumble and earnest man.aer entreated their forbearance. On anew and more u.‘s. gent demand upon him for payment, in 1833, Du rand produced a receipt signed by the late Jean Roche, dated 25th August, 1828, for the sum of 1,550 i. The signature wsss evidently in the hand writing of the deceased Rock.', but the body of the receipt was in a strange hand. , ,, Coupling this cir cumstance with the repeated acklowledgments and promises of Durand since the death of their fa ther, the, family of Roche doubted h'se authen ticity of the document, and summoned him be fore a justice of the peace. No doubt of .the for gerey could be entertained, but n a positive proof .could be acquired for some time. At length the &The family learnt that a man, named Crozatier, hid several times repeated that their father, some time be.• fore his death, in trying a pen at an inn in Ally, had written his name on a blank piece of paper, and? thrown it aside, and that it afterwards got into the hands of Durand. This induced the Roche family to bring Durand before the Civil Tribunal of Saint- Flour, where seven persons swore to having seen the amount stated in the receipt paid to the de ceased. Subsequently, however;.i.t was ascertained That the witnesses were perjured, and the case was re ferred to the Court of Assizes, Durand and all his witnesses being prosecuted. Previous to the trial, one of the men who had been suborned retracted his former depositions, and exposed the whole of the nefarious attempt. Consequently his name was with drawn from the indictment, and admitted as an evi dence for the prosecution. Another man also after wards made a similar confession. Their testimony was corroborated by other circumstances, particularly by the fact that the body of the receipt was not only a different handwriting from the signature, but written in a different ink. Crozatier, who was in cluded in the prosecution, persisted in denying all he had previously said. They were all found guilty. Durand wag condemned to hard labour in the hulks for six years, and the pillory—three to hard labour for the same period, without the pillory—one to hard labour for five years—one to close confinement for fire years—and one to imprisonment for one year. 'ihe Correctional Tribunal of Bayonne, on the 24th ult., presented a curious spectacle. A man named Castella, and his wife, appeared at the bar on a charge of fraud and deception in exercising pretended magic and sorcery, and in administering medicaments with out any legal authority. The table of the Court was loaded with strange objeets. Among them was a lamp of a shape never before seen,in the ancient or mo dern world, surrounded by a palm branch, said to have received holy benediction, and crowned with a multitude of cards of unknown kinds, covered with figures in co lours or in ink, representing saints and devils, signs of the zodiac, and cabilistic emblems, bearing the likeness of nothing in heaven or earth, or the waters under the earth ; by the side of which were pots of p ommades, and phials of liquids of all sizes and hues, to which virtues of immense power had been attributed, and, in fine, about thirty large volumes filled with characters which no one could decypher, and Castella himself, perhaps, less than any one else, though lie had pretended that they were the works of Albert the Great and Cagliostro. The witnesses were almost uncountable, comprising the lame and the blind and the paralytic, who had been deluded of their money by promises of. relief which were never realised, and, at last, a young and pretty girl, who, when she came to be examined, deposed that for a pommade, which was to insure her perpetual beauty, she had given the prisoner a Louis d'or, her whole fortune, which, she added, with great naivete, would not have been too much, if the promise ha d been realised. The evidence was of the complexion of fraud and dupery, which might naturally be ex pected in such a case. Castello was sentenced to be imprisoned for a year and a day, to pay 50f. fine, and all the costs, but his wife was acquitted. When the judgment was passed, Castella, who had con ducted himself throughout with great effrontery, an nounced, with a loud voice, his intention to appeal. On the last Mardi-Gras, February 8, some ladies at Foix, in the Arriege, were grossly insulted in the streets during the evening by a man in mask and domino. On the following day, this disgraceful con duct having been attributed to a. young man named Seguela, a M. Vergnies, part of whose family had suffered from it, accosted Seguela, and, after some severe language, struck him on the face. A challenge was given, hut from some obstacles the meeting could not take place before :11 arch 5, when Seguela re ceived his adversary's ball in the head, and, after lingering eleven days in great agony. expired. M. Vergnies and the four seconds were prosecuted, and brought to trial at Foix, on the. 24th ult. . They were all acquitted on the criminal charge, but the Court decreed that Vergnies and his two seconds should pay 3,000 f., as damages to the family of Seguela. At the same assizes, a man named Dervean Gispet, alias Cresto Rats, was condemned to 'hard labour at the hulks for life, under the following atro cious circumstances :—Marie Galy, a young un married woman living with her mother, a widow, in the village of Goulier, being with child, made a confident of Gispet, who, as she deposed on her trial, advised her to take means for procuring abortion. This she refused, but when her child was born she intrusted it to this man to carry to the found ling hospital at Foix, paying him 10f. in advance for his trouble. The delivery havingbecome knoirn, she was questioned by the Magistrates as to the disposal she had made of the child. She told the truth, but On in quiring at the hospital no such child.had ever been deposited there, and it was afterwards discovered Oat the infant had been strangled and buried in a stable belonging to her mother. Gispet having committed the murder to save himself the trouble of the journey to the foundling hospital. The widow Galy, her (laughter, and Gipset, were indicted for the murder, but the two females were acquitted. Gispet is a no torious character. He is 55 years of age, 20 of which lie passed at the hulks, where he was under sentence for life; but in 1835 he received a pardon, and re turned to Goulier, his native place. The Hotel de l'Union, one of the first public esta blishments of the kind in Brussels', was lately robbed of plate, jewels, and other valuable articles, to a large amount. Suspicion at first was directed towards the servants, and a minute search and inquiry took place, but the innocence of all was satisfactorily proved. During the investigation, a stranger, who bad come to the house as a guest, under the name of Vanden Houten, and had taken one of the best apartments, living in a correspondent style, (Es ' appeared without paying his bill. The police was informed of this, but no trace of him in Belgium could be found, ' Communications were directly made to Paris, and the myrmidons of the law here were so active that they soon discovered that a tra veller answering the description given had arrived two days before in Paris, under the name of Vanden haut, and was living in furnished lodgings at No. 10, Rue du Bouloy. He was quickly taken into cus tody, and recognised as an old and 'notorious offen der, named Brown, alias Janin, who had been dis charged from the hulks. On searching his room, nearly the whole of the articles stolen, together with a considerable sum in ten florin pieces of gold, were found and seized. Although the real name of this thief is Gabriel Brown, he is the son of French parents, and was born at Verdun. In March 1833 he was condemned by the Court of Assizes of Paris to eight years hard labour at the bulks for robbery. During his previous examination, he contrived to escape from the gendarmes, who were conducting him through the Salle des Pas Perdus from prison to the office of the examining magistrate, by throwing a handful of snuff in their eyes. He was, however, retaken, and on conviction, sent to the bulks at Toulon. Thence he also escaped, was again caught, and had three years added to his term - of punishment. In November, 1837, he displayed so much cool courage and zeal while, with other convicts, he was employed in endeavouring to extinguish a fire, which broke :out in and nea rl y consumed a three-decker in the port of Toulon, that, as a_-reward, he:received a free pardon, choosing his native town, Verdun, as his residence, where he was to remain under. surveil- • lance of the police . In less than a month, however, ,e ran away', an d h a s ever since lived by robbery. n Three days before the robbery at Brussels, lie occu pied his furnished lodging in Paris, and was seen Upon eut several times a day. this he found an alibi, affirming that h e p asse d the interven in g da y s in the co u n try with a young l a dy, whose character he would nOtampromisti by nam ing her. As to the articles, he accounts for his genodbeigav ino endeavours to possession of them by declaring that he purchased them of a young Dutchman. The Reparateur of Lyons—in which city great alarm has been created by the appearance of several dogs supposed- to be mad—states that a M. de Mo rangie, of Mason, who his dead, had a, remedy for hydrophobia of such efficacy, that on one occasion he administered it to 16 out Of 18 dogs which had been bitten by a mad dog, and they all recovered, whereas the two to which he had not administered it, in order to show the certainty of his remedy, went raging mad and died.
