BUROLARI IN DERBYSHIRI.

A daring burglary was committed about half-put
12 °Week on Thanday samba, at the hogs, of Mr. JSMIIII
Oates, beer-hoses keeper, Troway, a secluded village is
Derbyshire. Mr. Oates is as old man, residing with a
greed-daughter, a girl about eight Yuan of age, wile eledfs
in his house. About half past 12 o'clock the old sea was
awoke by the noise of • burghs, who, with his face blot*.
sued, was in Ma bedroom, with a lighted candle, ransacking
a boa which contained his silver watch and some papers.
Mr. Oates called out, " Bono*, what are you doing here 1"
when the burglar came to his bele& with a hedging bill and
said, " Your mosey or your life, sad if you make the slightest
alarm take your life instantly." The burgles then
left the room and went to the top of the stairs, and had a
thevenation with a wend person, after which they west
dews stairs. Mr. Oates then got oat of bed sad lifted op
I the window, and cried " Murder!" as loud as he could,
when several neighbours came to his assistance. Oa exam-
hang the premises he found that as entrance bad bees
eff.eted by breaking a bole is the thatched roof of a build
tag which adjoin** the hours, and which was used as a
cellar. The &inshore of the house was all turned topsy-
tiany, and the burglars had taken from his pocket 7.. la
silver, Is. 6d. in copper; end from the house a single-bar-
relied gun, a silver wstah, 11b. of tobacco, two loaves, and
1 other articles. They also regaled themselves with
ale, and had left the tap of the barrel toned es, SO
that the ale ran sway to west,. About ea hour
after the robbery two men were sees coming
down the road, when Oates (having others reedy
at heed to eaglet him, if needed), wasted them,
end that:. mowers not being eatiefictory, his suspicions were
aroused, and those were confirmed on observing pieces of

THAMES.

Miami Gnat was charged with being on the London
and Bleskwall Railway, sad having three cards in his pos-
session to defraud railway passengers.
Mr. Charge Emery Wilms, of she Ship, Bath-street,
Gravesend, stated that he was a passenger by the half-past
II o'elosk train from Fenehorch street that day. Directly'
the Main was in motion, the prisoner istrodneed a rasor,
and offered it for sale for Is. ed. He could not find a par
Omer, and than brought forward three cords, and after
she Ming them, oilseed to bet on any particular cud. •
man is the sleet compartment of the carriage, who he be-
loved to be a esefederate, staked a half-crown on one card,
aid won It. Another man staked a shilling, and a third
half-Brown, sad lest it.
Mr. flelfe—l shoed think they did.
Mr. Wilson—The cards were shuffled about wi great
rapidity, and everybody SW invited to with n. (A
laugh.) I spoke to the guard of the train about it on reach-
log the Stepney station, and told him the prisoner and his
companies were a complete pest. The guard misted to in-
terfere, and said if people liked to lose their money be could
not help it. A laugh wee raised by the prisoner and his
confederates at my *spasm, and they talked about bonnet-
lag me sad crushing my hat, but I defied them to touch me.
On renting the West India Dock simian, which was my
deeellestion, • gentleman who was u much annoyed at the
&abases as I nu, nailed the attention of the porter to the
prissier, and he was given into custody.
11,. Self* laid there was no doubt card-playing in
railway• ellftilp, under the eireinestenees described
by Mr. Wilson, same within the torsos of the Vagrant Act.
Mr. Safe, bevies read the clause, said the words " any in-
struments of gambling" pave a very large interpretatioe.
Theo came the question, was the railway a highway ? He
thought that was settled by the Lord Cilia( Baron Pone*
is the Court of Criminal Appeal in the celebrated Brighten
lose. Though satisfied tbe prisoner was within the mime
of the ant of perliameat, he did not thick he was within the
spirit of it. There was no proof of any intention to defraud
es the part of the prisoner and his conftdaratet, but there
would be no moral doubt what they meant to do. If he de
sided the prisoner was a foga* and vagabond for playlet
at mile, every gentlemen who played a robber at whist in
a railway carriage on a journey might CAM within the
same category. He should discharge the prisoner, but be
considered the railway authorities bed done quite right in
bringing the sue before him, and he warned tte prisoner
that another magistrate might not entertain the use
doubts as he did.

THE EXPEDITION TO THE PERSIAN GULF.

A letter front Bombay, dated October 3, gives the
following information relative to the preparation of
the naval part of the expedition intended for
Persia :

We are my busy, and ear days filly cecopied in fitting
oat an espeditios for the Fenian OWE It is a formidable
anaament, aid will laded, (followers aid all) 11,000 rasa
and 1,200 horses (eselusive of seamen and marines), 30 trans-
ports, 15 steamers of war, four of them carrying 10 68-
pounders and four from 2 to 4 ditto ; 2 sloop, of IR 32-
ponaders each ; 2 schooners of 2 puts each, 26 cwt. 32-
pouniars ; 10 heavy gsaboats, currying two 7Fisoh
howitzers sash. It is not settlei who Is to command this
powerful fleet, but there is so doubt that the goverment
hers will wish Rear-Admiral H. Leeks to take it ; and
right well it will ha for the resalt, we all think, it he does;
a more narcotic man or gallant reser never was shelved
by the Rome Admiralty. What a (area is the fact that,
while Sir Hoary has bow most naively sad indefatigably
imaged for same yen* a* monmander-la chief of the whole
Indian navy, and at work with onfligging seal day and
night, when ancesary, is the dies►barge of his duties, be
stands on the list of the Royal Navy se an admiral anal to
be actively employed in that earvies ! Oar dockyard and
hartour show an amount of ellelony and ae ' ' y none at
home ever surpassed.

Terroukh Ilan, the Shah's Ambassador—upon
whose minion a certain stress has been laid in
diplomatic circles, as affording the probable means of
a pacific solution of the difficulty—hue arrived in
Constantinople I bat up to the present time, as we
learn by advioes from the Turkish capital, his dorm-
lanai has been inoperative. The British Minister,
indeed, finding the Persian to be unprepared to con-
cede on the part of hie government the first indispensa-
ble point, namely, the unconditional withdrswal of the
Sbah's forces from Herat, has, it is maid,refused to enter'
oa any negotiations whatever, or even to admit the
astonished Envoy to an audience. It remains to be
seen whether the Envoy, frustrated in this first
attempt to gain time by negotiation, will still per-
severe in carrying his protest to the foot of the
Emperor at Paris.

The Brumela liedipsedatice of yesterday gives the
following in the form of a despatch from Trieste :
"Letters from Teheran state that the English expe-
dition to the Persian Oalf cams some anxiety in
Persia! The Persian troops, victorious in Affghan-
Mien, have received orders to occupy the environs of
Herat."

PARIS, FRIDAY Saurus°.
The paragraph in the lifoisiteur repudiating,
though not in a very decided tau, the article in the
Constittaiosnel of the 6th, which has caused alarm in
every capital of Europe, is the result of long confer-
mme between the Emperor and his advisers which I
alluded to yesterday as having taken place at Com-
peigee.
The ifoositeur article has failed to produce any
improvement at the Burge. At the opening there
were a few purchases in conerquena of it, bet offers
soon succeeded, and the Rents closed at 66fr. 460.
and 66fr. 60e., with a fall of 6c. for cash and 100. for
account. Mobilier fell 17fr. 60e. Railways were
very depressed indeed. Orleans fell 201 r.; Eutern,
261 r.; Mediterranean, 36fr.; Lyons, 7fr. 50e.; and
'Northern, 10fr.

The Emperor and Empress have platted 100,000 fr.
in the hands of the Prefect of the Police, to enable
him to keep open the food kitchens for the poor, which
were founded last winter. Of this subeceiption,
80,000 fr. is in the name of the Emperor, and 20,000 fr.
in that of the Empress.

CALIFORNIA.

The news from California continues as ex-
citing ea when the announcement was first
made that the city of San Francisco had been
taken odt of the hands of the legal authorities
and the criminal law was being enforced by a large
body of the citizens, who styled themselves the vigi-
lance committee. At the date of the news (July d)
the committee continued its organisation, and was
progressing in the work of ridding the city of the
hordes of rogues with which it has been infested for a
number of years put. On the 24th ult, the excitement
in regard tothe movementsof thecommittee,whicb had
been lulled almost into acquiescence, was revived by
one of their number being stabbed in tke street by
David 8. Terry, one of the judges of the Supreme
Coart of California, while the said member of the
committee was attempting to arrest a notorious cha-
racter. Judge Terry was immediately arrested and
taken to Fort Vigilance, as the rooms of the committee
are called, where at last accounts he wu undergoing
a trial. The last mentioned incident was the signal
for au attack upon the armoury of the Marion Rifles,
which was the rendezvous of the " law and order
party. The place was surrounded by over 1,000
of the committee men in arms, with three or tour
pieces of ordnance planted in front of it. Before
this formidable array it soon capitulated, and all the
arms it contained were seized, together with about
one hundred prisoners of war. The latter, however,
were soon released from custody. The commit-
tee had also seized a quantity of government
arms, which had been sent to San Francisco for
the law and order party, on board a schooner. The
Governor remained at Sacramento, and it was stated
that he would make no more attempts to destroy the
functions of the Vigilance Committee. The general
commanding the state forces had retired, and ren.
dered his report to the executive of an ineffective
campaign. No political excitement existed in the
state beyond a desire to know who were the nominees
for the presidency. The courts continued to hold
their regular serious in San Francisco, and the law
was said to be more respected than ever before. The
national anniversary was celebrated with becoming
r display and enthusiasm throughout the state. The
amounts from the mining regions continued to be fe.
uurable, end the crops generally were reported good,
although in some sections the grasshoppers bad been
very destructive.

children among the destitute or predatory tribes g
reedy means of earning a temporary livelihood, an
incentive to industrious habits, and an introduction
to permanent situation. The daily earnings of the
boys are divided into three parts, of which the first
is paid to the boy, the neond is put into a find called

splendid sphere foe agricultural colonisation. The
natives, whole indolence is attended by a elsepliaity
unknown to nearly every other provisos, are jest
those with whom eolonlets might assume a compike
superiority without provoking the envy which any
each assumption would quickly engender in Castile.
Reads are as mock the pre-eminent want of Spain
as they an of Turkey. There is probably no Chris-
tian country of Europe so deplorably &Went in all
the means of transport. Agricultural districts in
Spain, such as would be traversed in this country by
a hundred roads, have frequently no other commu-
nications than by mule tracks and bridle paths. Spain
bee one railroad—from Madrid to Aranjues. It
is obvious that this glaring deficiency is not lees in-
consistent withthe immediate interests of the Central

Government itself than with the ultimate advantage
of the people ; for there can be no greater obstacle to
the working of an organised oestralisadon than the
want of easy and rapid communications. The con-
currence of the real interests of the Government and
of the landholders in this matter renders the oon-
tinualproorutination of reform the more inexplica-
ble. The contrast of French and Spanish policy in
this respect is strikingly illustrated cc the frontier of
the two empire'. To the north of the Pyrenees every
valley has its splendid road wending to the frontier
up the winding gorges of the mountains, some five
thousand feet above the ma level. To the south of
that chain, extending for 300 miles, there are two
lanes, the one passing by Perpignan, the other by
Bayonne!
