EX? INRIVI BURGLAR! AT BUNDIRLAIVD.
The most daring robbery ever attempted in
Sunderland, involving the loss of property esamated at about
1,0001. in value, was perpetrated in the jeweller's shop of Mr.
Jolla Marshall, to old and respected tradesmen, between
Maeda, night sad Tuesday casing. The premiere oacapled
by Mr. Marshall age situate at the mast of Nikeetreet, the
shop hosting the High-street. la Nfle.steest a doorway
woes into • pasage, from which • door hada to Mr. Mar-
shall's sleep ; on ths opposite side of the passage is en office,
oceapied by Yr. M. Robson, you. The whole of the rooms
above are occupied as offices, or workshop for Mr. Marshall's
workmen, no one residing upon the premises. A doorway,
facing the entrance, leads to two cellars uedernrath, one coder
Mr. Marshall'a shop, the other under Mr. Robson's office.
Oa Monday night, about half-peat eight o'clock, Mr. Ed-
ward Norton, Mr. MarabalTs manager, left the premises all
right, by the door in Nfle-street, and teamed it. Next
morning, about half-past eight o'clock, on arriving at the
premises, he experienced considerable difficolty In opening
the der in Nile. street, but at List saeceeded In forcing it
open, and then saw that during the night the staple, a strong
iron one, into which the lock shut, had been wrenched off,
and was lying on the floor. The door leading from the pas-
sage into the shop was all safe. On opening it, however, the
first thing that attracted attention was a large hole about two
feet square, cat in the middle cid the shop floor, and leading
to the cellar underneath. Farther ezaminationshowed that
two large glass cases on the counter, containing a mass of
valuable jewellery, bracelets, asoklscr, rings, fic. had been
swept of their contents, the empty ores having been thrown on
one side. The window had also hem stripped of a largenumber
of gold and silver watches, sad the our of jewellery in the
window, comprising rings, breeches, &a., had been emptied
of their contents. More massive articles of plate in the
window had not been disturbed, the thieves having contented
themselves with the most valuable and portable portion of
the stock. It appears to be the custom to lock away In a
large iron safe the heaviest contents of the shop, Including
all the property of customers repairing, dm. The safe was
found undisturbed. An absence of all marks of violence
hoot the outside showed that one of the thieves had been
moreted upoa the premises at the time they were secured by
Mr. Norton. Some time during the day he had concealed
himself la a small place underneath the staircase leading
W the MUM', and Weie Wald have LW for hours
without fear of discovery. When the premiees were closed
for the night he had crept out of his hiding-place and with
a brace and bit had bored a hole in the door leading from
the shop to the passage, but in cutting through the wood his
farther proeteas was stopped by the inside Iron lining of the
door. Foiled here, he hal descended the stain., and the
cellar door being unsecured, though the key was in the lock,
he at once obtained &owes there. The ostler, we may state,
was filled with empty boxes, &a. leaving only a narrow
way to au area underneath the foot-road in the
tZba-Matt-aset. Alter pulling down a portion of the ceiling,
with the aid of a brace and inch bit, he bored a number of
holes in the floor of the shop, forming a guars of about two
foes. This had been knocked away, and his access to the in-
terior of the shop wee at once easy. Daring the time he had
been engaged in this operation a candle had been placed
swain ate of the flooring beams, and had burnt nearly hall-
oo inch kate the wood. Between the ceiling and
flooring boards above a chisel was found by the
police, bet Ibis does not appear to have been need.
Raving thus obtained souses to the shop, to secure the
goods wee essy. Exit was made by the same way as the
entrance, end the staple of the door leading to Nile-street
had been wrenched off with a crowbar, either to allow the
thief to leave the premises, or at an early stage of the
affair to enable him to @draft mow cdmpanions.
It is quite evident that the patties engaged have been no
novices; the systematic manner in which the robbery has
bees executed displays the utmost ingenuity. The thieves,
with • cunning that did them credit, have taken care to
secure the book containing the numbing of the watches, hop-
ing thereby to prevent their Identification--a precaution' we
are happy to state, of no avail. What makes the robbery the
more daring is that the premises are attest* in a public pert
of the town, imrue 'lately opt), she to the prtndp.l road Seed-
ing to and from the police station. In the shop itself a dog
is usually kept for the porta se of protection; no alarm seems
to have been given by the dog, and it is 'apposed to have
been dragged, as It had • very stupid eppearance next morn-
ing.—Natressfle Chrotriek.

ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH
COMPANY.

The report of this company states that the expan-
sion in the traffic alluded to in the last report has continued
without interruption over the whole system during the half-
year,
and the revenue *bows an Mamie upon that of the
corresponding six months to the extant of 14.0741. 11.. 2d.
The balance of net profits amounts to 86,3941. 18s. 9d., from
which the board propose a dividend of 3} per mut, for the
half-year, leaving a surplus of 8,6781. 168.9 d. on the working
of the six motets, which the directors, in purvaance of the
policy so frequetitly explained by them and confirmed by the
proprietors, recommend to be added to the renewal trust
fund. This fund at meted amount' to 14,3961. 124., and is
invested in securities approved by the auditors. The addi-
tion now recommended will augment It to 23,0761. 7a. 9d.
The board express their anxiety to place this fund
in such a position at the earliest poesible period as shall
relieve the shareholders from all apprehension for the fixture.
Several plans have been under their consideration for
strengthening the cables, and thereby diminishing the oat
of frequent repairs, and attention will be steadily devoted to
this important object. No effata have been wasting to keep
them in efficient condition. The new cable to Holland her
been &livered over by the contractors perfect in every
raps* and the balance on the amount having been paid the
met price of this additional cable haa been merged in the
capital account. It. working has realised the expectations
held out, end has materially improved and extended the ser-
vice with the Continent. The whole of the land system has
bean maintained in complete efficiency, and renewed where
e . The directors have been enabled during
itirstaf-year to transfer their business and the
offices of the company to their new prentiaes, and
they are enabled to report that the result has fully
equalled their anticipations. Not only has the Mishima been
conducted with more precision, but there has been, and will
hereafter continue to be, an acceleration of some minutes in
every message transmitted between the metropolis and coun-
try stations. A few minor extensions and works for railway
companies, for which a fixed return is secured, have been
made during the half-year. Lines of telegraph !melee been
projected, by an independent party, throughout the fele of
Wight, a contract has been entered into by the directors of
this company to cork them in cotusezion with the general
system. The proceeds of the call made of 61. on the new
shares have bean devoted to the payment of the balance on
the Zeadvoeert cable, the extensions for railway companies
alluded to above, and in the liquidation of debentures to the
extent of 10,4601, felling due. The bond debt of the company
le thereby Mama to 62,7301., a sum considerably left than
the net profits of the undertaking for a single year. In this,
and all other repseta, the &Andel position of the company
mast be satiabotory to the oropristors.

BRUTAL MURDER AT WINCHELSEA.InfOrMatiOn

metropolis of a trots! murder baying been emonitted at Win.
cholas, Sussex. The deceased, whose body was found by the
essabom at the out side of Rye harbour, has been identified
as • man named William sandy, a native of Coxbeath, near
Maidstone, Kent. Be war about 40 years of age, and when
found had been bathe water apparently but a few hours. On
his heed were no less than six deep incisione,and also another
over the right eye, evidently inflicted with some sharp in-
ointment, and leaving no doubt that • most brutal murder
has been perpetrated, the murderers afterwards throwing the
body of their victim into the sea. An inquest has been tiptoed
on the body, but hu been adjourned till Saturday next, to
admit of a post-mortem examination being made.
COLLISION 0$ THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY--
The nine p.m. train, leaving Carlisle on Saturday night for
Glasgow, had proceeded about 200 or SOO yards peat A Nag-
dos station when it came into collides with an wine and
tender on the rune line of rails. It is said that the usual
signal had been shown for the train to stop, but as it was
snowing heavily at the time, it bad not been observed by
the guard or engine-driver of the ordinary train, whit* wee
going at • speed of thirty or forty miles an hoar. Whether
the engine and tender had come up as • pilot engine r not
we have not sacertained, but it is somewhat remarkable that
after the accident occurred. the driver of it told • gentleman
who was travelling by the train that the engine
was there for the porno's of taking in water.
The gentleman, probably • little suspicious of the statement,
looked about him to see the usual tank end water hose, but
no such corroborative evidence met his eye. Several of the
pusengen could not, muter due looniest, learn whether there
was any one on the engine at the time the train cants into
aliWta with it, nr whether the engine war In motion;
but immediately before the collision the engine-driver
of the Mein bad either observed • signal or the engine frail,
for he reversed the engine and jumped off, and was some•
what hurt In consommes The only fact which we have
learned from the enters's of the railway company is, that
there were "only about twenty passengers altogether" by
the train, but this is contradicted by the evdenoe of several
gentlemen who travelled by it, sad who state that there were
at least forty, and that nearly the whole of the forty were
more or less hurt. It is fortunate, however, that, with one ,
exception, there arena serious injuries, and that the accidents
chiefly of slight bruises sad contusions. The ex-
oration referred to Is that of a Mrs. Smith. a lady belonging
to Glasgow. She was rendered insensible by the concuwion,
and remained so for fully squarest of on hour. and the sense
of feeling in her arms front the elbows downwards is entirely,
but we hope temporarily, euspended. The guard end stoker
of thetrain were also slightly hurt. The speed of the per
1111$0r train was so great that after the impulse which the
engine and tender bed received was expended, a second col-
lision took place between them. Both engines sustained
dower, and several of the carriages' ware considerably chat-
hired. The train was brought to Glasgow by the engine of
la foods train. and arrived about 4.40 a.m., nearly four hours
and • half behind its proper times—Ghtepees Berard.
