A DARING BURGLARY in the open daylight was esminit-
ted yesterday week at 0 atoombe Rectory, the residence of
the Rev. Dr. Thompson, during his absence at °encashe
church, where ho was performing divine envies. It ap-
pears to have been the • nouns in the Emily for one of
the
servants to remain in .the house whilst the other, went to
church ; awl, on this reasion, it happened to be the foot-
man's turn to stay at F asse, where be remained lentil, at the
termination of the see vice, the old clerk of the parish, Mr.
Hookey, returned, k e the purpose of depositing his master's
surplice and the key softie churns, the Dxter having gone
to pay an Altera. ,on visit to his schools. The clerk,
hearing some Pere n to the hew very errantly entreat-
ing areistance, doled the injunction, and found
the footman holm' Vend and foot to the chair, with a
tablecloth thrown coo his bead. The ropes were soon cut,
and he was relea ad; upon which he related that, whilst

found that the doctor's bureau had been forcibly broken

and e ant the housekeeper's bedroom had been entered, and
from her box a large sum of money and securities to the
ante ant of about ninety pounds abstracted. Not an article
of I date was missing, although many very valuble articles
lay within reach. They were described as being young men,
eh' rut the middle size, and dressed in dark clothes, like
'Si lots, one of them wearing a cloth cap, and the other wear-
ia a painted hat, having curotty hair and whiskers. As

deavouring to discover the offenders, but hitherto without
success.
AN AMUSING ILLUSTRATION OF OUR JURY LAW was
safforded at Southampton last week. The trustees of the
penitentiary in that town took proceedings in the Borough
court against a Mr. Pritchard, who had trespassed on the
lands of that institution. The evidence was heard, and the
jury retired, but could not agree, and the consequence was
they were locked up nearly ten hours, in a comfortless and
dungeon-looking chamber of the Guildhall, the narrow win-
dows of which look out over the Above Bar aide of the arch-
way. The difference, it is stated, was between the foreman
and one other juryman, who wished to give a certain small
amount of damages, and their ten brethren. who were for a
merely nominal sum. Some time having elapsed after they
were locked up, and both parties continuing firm in their
original opinions, it became evident that there was no chance
of an agreement being come to, and the reproaches addressed
by some of the majority to the dissenting two, were any-
thing but gentle persuutves. The Hampshire paper says,
"there was a regular row in the jury. chamber, and two or
thrn of them almost came to blows, an ultimo ratio which
was freely threatened. As evening came on, and the twelve
were left in cold and darkness, they began to tire of their
situation, and they earnestly appealed to the Under-Sheriff
to discharge them ; but he remained obdurate. Two of the
fury were undertakers; and, in the course of the evening,
meesensters came from their workmen, who bed completed
coffins, and wished to know where they were to carry
them. The Town Serjeant apprised the jurymen of the
messages, hut declined to take back the answers, thus in-
creasing their anxiety to be relieved from their awkward
position. Others were considerable employers, chafing under
the annoying consciousness that their workmen would be
waiting for their weekly wages, it being Saturday night, and
their remonstrances with the Town Serjeant, who had them
in custody, and refused to despatch their homeward mes-
sages, were loud and deep. One waxed more wrathful
than the rest, and expended his indignation in hurling the
chairs about the room. Others, again, endeavoured to be-
guile the time by getting into a conversation (out of window)
with the crowd assembled below the Bar Gate, commenting
in feeling' erms upon the injustice of locking up twelve re-
spectable citizens like felons, and even worse, for it seemed
they were to die of cold and starvation. At last one gentle-
man was taken seriously ill with spasms, and the Town
Serjeant having obtained the Under-Sheriff's consent,
admitted a medical man to see him. The surgeon expressed
his opinion that it would be dangerous to keep him locked
up without refreshment for any longer time, and the Under
Sheriff hail the jury again called into court to ask if there
was any chance of their coming to an agreement.
They declared that there was not, and protested
strongly against being sent back to their durance vile.
Indeed, some of the more courageous of the number boldly
stood forward with a defiance to the Under-Sheriff and
his officer, stating their determination to force their
way out of the hall vi et areas, if he did not
give them a legal discharge. The Under-Sheriff, finding that
n was vain ti expect a verdict, then sent to the attornies on
both sides, and in the meanwhile compromised with the im-
patient Jurors, by allowing them to remain in their chamber
with the door unlocked. An answer, consenting to the dis-
charge, shortly after arrived from the plaintiffs' solicitors,
and the unfortunate captives were then released from their
imprisonment, after having endured the want of fire, food,
drink, and light, for ten hour,. It was near two o'clock en
Sunday morning when the discharge took place.
A near it FUL MINIATURE CUTTER YACHT, Of about 12 tons,
was launched at Gosport on Thursday, from the building-
yard of Mr. W. Camper, for the Hake of Marlborough. The
launch in itself possessed all the interest of similar animating
occasions (notwithstanding it was on a minor scale), and the
christening of the vessel was performed by Miss Pakenhant,
daughter of Sir Hercules Pakenham.

many milesvound for several hours after the outbreak, was
observed at Reading a distance of ten miles, from the emi-

the conflagration, and the want of engines at hand, it was
a long time before it could be subdued. Considerable pro-
perty was destroyed, and the flee is generally supposed to
lustre been the act of an incendiary.
