BURGLARS DETECTED.—The Southampton paper*
mention the discovery of a small of =tars who
have been carrying on their de two years
in that town. It appears that a fellow named Henke sad
his wife, living at 2, Houndwell•garden% Southampton,
used to commit the robberies, and send the goods stole,
packed up to boxes, to a man named Matey, 2, John's-
terrace, Princes-road, Lambeth. These booze need to be
sent to London by railway regularly, and returned to South-
ampton as empties. Hunter had robbed a Southampton
photographer of photographs of his family and General 'Porn
Thumb. This proved fatal to him. The photographer
made his Ices known to his friends in London, and they
detected the family group with the General at a brother
photographer's gallery in Weatminster-bridge•road. Hs
told of whom he bought the picture% and thus Mahn was
discovered. Hunter has escaped, but Halsey and Hunter's
wife me now in Southampton gaol.

Itionsur.—Yeateeday, an adjourned inquiry was held at the
George and Dragon, high-street, Shadwell, into the *moi-
stures attending the deaths of John Fitzgerald, aged 37, and
John Qainlar, aged 36, who were drowned in consequence of
' a skiff in which they were rowing across the river coming in
contact with the bow of the Montle steamer. Evidence was
gins to the effect that the Morella was not going at more
than four knots an hour, and that the accident was ceased by
the wavering of the two men in their course. The jury re-
turned the following verdict—" That the deemed were
accidentally drowned, and the jurors are of opinion that the
mate of the Moselle steam-boa did not keep a sufficient look-
out, and that no blame attaches to Captain Ryon at the pilot
of the said vessel." The mate mai, by the request of the
jury, called before the court, and estutoned yy the learned
coroner se to his future conduct and slight negligence
