MAPS FOR THE MILLION.—Mr. Collins, of Pater-
noster-row, has published cheap maps of the Baltic,
the Black Sea, the Danube, and of Russia and
Turkey, sufficiently large and complete to enable
persons who take an interest in the war to follow the
movements of the fleets and armies engaged. They
are boldly drawn and coloured, and all places of
note which are now, or are likely to become, the
scene of hostilities are distinctly laid down. Moun-
tain ranges and rivers are also traced, and, as unim-
portant details are omitted, confusion is avoided,
and the localities required can readily be found.
THE SILVER Cowromi, inlaid with jewels, together with
maces of the same metal, and other silver articles belonging
to the corporation of Madrid, have been stolen in a most
unaccountable manner, calculated to excite strange sus-
picions. The total value was about a million of teals (up-
wards of 10,0001).
GIRAUD, the poor Lyons well-sinker, whose rescue after
three weeks' entombment excited so much sympathy and
interest, died a few days since from exhaustion consequent
upon his prolonged sufferings.
