Worcester, the owners of it being employed in collec ting bones. • During the absence of the man and woman be longing to it, one of the girls who had been kidnapped, made her escape to that city, and related her case to an individual, who kindly wrote to her uncle, John Bidgood,,l7, Broad-street Bristol. lie immediately sent her money and clothes; to take her home, whither she was conveyed on Thursday last. The Gipsy, on discovering his loss, had the audacity to offer a sov ereign for ha apprehension, saying she was his sister's child. lie confeSsed, however, that he should have made a good deal of her by sending. her into Wales: The girl stated that there Was a little boy and _girl in the cart' when she was first taken, but they disappeared: She says the carts have the names - of Mears, Sn.itti, Lewis, and others, on them : and that the own ers:went .about collecting bones, and stole every thing they could lay their hands on.

It was generally understood at Madrid that a convocation of the .nobles was.about.to be hAd, for the purpose of acknowledg ing the succession of the young princess.

Much excitement has bjetiiiroiiieed in Mexico by the mur der of a British subject in September last, who had been a pri soner in the Acordada for the last two years, owing . to some law proceedings with which he was concerned. The circumstances which•ledlo the murder are the following;—On the afternoon , of Tuesday, the 25th of September, the prisoners in the Acor dada (where froircl,2oo to .13,00 of the most atrocious wretches existing are confined) made an ill-concerted effort to escape. Some Of them struck down two of the centinels, but (lid not kill them. The iron gates. were closed upon them. They fired a few shots at the guard through the bars, who returned the fire from without, and a party of soldiers from a barrack near at hand - were quickly stationed in the gallery which surrounds the court, on the first 'floor, and on the roof, from whence they killed 17 or 18, and wounded about 46 more, many . of whom are since dead. The riot was thus quelled in'a few minutes. "No ill con sequence resulted from this disturbance except that it afforded a pretext for the murder of Mr. Aithur Short, a lieutenant on half-pay iirthe- British navy, who had been a prisoner in the Acordada more than two years. - Ile had a room which opened on the gallery up-stairs. The manner of his death is variously related; but it appears that the soldiery forced open the door of his room, broke an earthenware bath which he had placed against his door full of water, struck him reveatedly on the righearm, the shoulders, and back of the head, with the butt ends of their muskets; thrust him out of the room into the cor ridor, where, being again knocked down, the officer with them gave him, as he lay, the wound which caused hit death. On the following morning he was removed from the prison to the house of a friend, where he lingered till the afternoon. Not withstanding the horror' with which this atrocious murder has tilled every British subject, no fiteps have been taken by the Mexican anthoritie for ajudicial investigation. YarOlVlEfrilLG.

MONEY, JEWELS, &C.—The' fol lowing particulars of a most daring robbery committed on the evening of Christmas day, at the residence of Colonel Howard, Grosvenor-square, were forwarded to the , various metropolitan stations yesterday. Between the hours of eight and nine in , the evening, it is conjectured,- some , thieves obtained an entrance into the house, and carried off property to.. the . amount of from • £6OO to £lOOO. Part of the property is as follows:—Three- £5 notes, (numbers ,known,) about sovereigns in a red purse, gold slides, 8 sovereigns in a bhie purse, which was in a note case, containing a number of £5 notes, gold repeater and a.p, pemlages, by Scaire, With the family anus on the cases, a valu able gold repeater, by Tompion, another gold watch, fourteen diamond' aim, pearl •rings, six diamond - and pearl bracelets, some of great value, long Maltese gold necklace and bracelets, dia. , niond dress ear-rings, a great number of gold rings, chains, &c. and miscellaneous bijouterie. Nothing lint a small crow-bar was found, Which had been used to break- open the jewel case, and -from present appearances, there is little doubt the robbery was a "put up"-one. One hundred guineas reward has been offered for the detection of the offenders. COUNTY OF DURHAM .ELECTION.—The battle of the " inde pendence" of the northern division of Durham has been gal lantly fought, 'and although aristocratic influence has gained a temporary • aAvantage, it has not triumphed; the result to Mr. Braddyllls a glorious one, nearly 3000 electors having declared, by their suffrageS, that he is the Man of their choice. Sir Hed , worth Williamson has been dragged into Parliament at the skirts of "A Lambton ;" the dependents of the borough-mon gering Lord Durham, having been compelled to give the N orth Dock hero a split vote. The coalition has been a scan dalous and a nefarious one, entered into. with unprincipled mo tives, and conductedto a final issue under the masked batte r y that no.union of interests was intended. We assert, therefore, th it Sir H. Williamson is only the sham representative of the interests of North Durham. By the practice of a base elec tioneering marneuvre, and the exercise of expedients that ought to cover the parties engaged in it with everlasting shame, the minority has been converted into a majority. Threats, bribes, and violence have done' their work : unprincipled men • have been traitors to their country, and renegades to their principles; they have sold their birth-rights for a mess of pottage, and Sir eaworth is again sent to Parlianicht 'But we would rather sustain twenty such defeats as the one which has fallen to the lot of Mr. Braddyll, than one triumph like that which has fallen upon the head of his opponent. Let not the honest electors be discouraged. The " independent" candidate will re-appear in their cause, and fight their battle again and again. Aristocra tic influence will eventually be put down, and the cause of , " in dependence" triumph, lie has-received an-invitation to a•pub lic dinner on Wednesday next, and his friends are still in high spirits . , and confident of ultimate victory. his position is an enviable one. lie has polled vWre plampers than any candidate who has contested Durham .(not excepting John George Lamb. ton himself,) since the year 1761, when Sir T. Clavering, the worthy uncle of the present respected High-Sheriff, had' ten dered to him more 'dumpers than the coalition candidates of that day—Shatto and Vane—obtained splits. Sir Thomas Cia vering was defeated then, as Mr. Braddyll has been now, by an infamous coalition. He has, however, though beaten, marched Off the field with the drums beating, and his colours flying.— Gross poll at the close :—Lambton, 4310 ; Williamson, 3a50 ; Braddyll, 2954.—Newcastle Journal.
