ROBBERY OP JEWELLERY.—Yesterday informa-
tion was given to the Commissioners of City police of a
rublery committed during the previous night on the
premises of Mr. Samuel Harris, an importer of foreign
goods, situated in Houndsditch, and a reward of 1001. has
since been offered fur information leading to the appre-
hension and conviction of the thieves. It seems that, in
spite of the lesson taught by the great robbery at the
shop of Mr. Walker, the watchmaker and jeweller in
Conant!, there are still persons in the City who,
not residing on premises they occupy for purposes of
business, are accustomed to leave them during the
night without the protection which would be afforded by
some one sleeping there. The result of such an arrange-
ment has often been in other cases that thieves have
managed to secrete themselves in places of business before
they are closed for the night, and then, having been shut
in and left in sole possession of the premises deserted by
the legitimate occupiers, to watch for opportunities of
committing a robbery. In this case the thieves
are supposed to have concealed themselves in a stable-
yard adjoining the shop of Mr. Harris, and separated
from it by a low wall. This they scaled during the night,
and entering the premises by a window proceeded to
operate upon an iron safe, containing jewellery of various
kinds. kor that purpose they appear to have been armed
with suitable implements, for after they had broken open
and ransacked the safe they left some of their tools, and
these of a formidable kind, behind them. They took with
them 150 gold guard chains of various patterns, 100 silver
watches, 50 gold watches, 150 pairs of gold ear-rings, *lO
gold lockets, 500 gold signet, wedding, keeper, and gem
rings, 100 pairs of gold snaps, several dozens of gold split-
rings, shirt studs, collar studs, spring-back hooks and
swivels. The matter is now in the hands of the police,
but up to last evening the thieves, who got clear away
with all this booty, had not been apprehended.

ROBBERY IN THE LEEDS CORN MARKET.—Yes-
terday forenoon, during the market hours in the Leeds
Corn Exchange, a serious robbery was committed. Mr. C.
Kelsey, • highly respectable corn merchant from Hull, who
has • stand and desk in the Exchange, lost the large sum
of 1,17aW., which was in notes and gold. The money was
in a canvas bag, and was placed on the stand, from which,
when Mr. Kelsey bad for a moment or two turned his
face to speak to some gentleman in the market, the beg
and its valuable contents were boldly and adroitly at.
stracted. As soon as the robbery was discovered the doors
of the exchange were closed, and a search was made for the
thief, but without effect.

A TRAIN SNOWED UP FOR TWEIVII Hot-its.—
The sudden thaw on Saturday evening caused the mow
accumulated on the sides of the cuttings between Andover
and Salisbury to give way, and the line, in consequence,
became blocked up. The 5.10 p.m. train from London to
Salisbury ran into • drift of about 7ft. of snow between
Grately and Porton, and was unable to proceed further. A
telegram announcing the fact was forwanled to
Mr. Davis, the district superintendent at Salisbury,
who also ascertained that the 7.57 p.m. train from
Salisbury bad been stopped at Porton. Mr. Davis
got • staff of men together, and with • powerful
goods engine immediately proceeded up the line to render
whatever assistance might be in his power. A heavy storm
of hail prevailed at the time, and the snow was forced
down the sidings in such quantities that the engine got
" drifted up" about two miles and a half from Porton.
With great difficulty Mr. Davis forced hie way on to that
station on foot. and at once made arrangements for dig-
gm' g out the down train. As soon as possible men were
brought to the opposite end of the cutting, but notwith-
standing that both parties worked most energetically
during the night, it was nearly 8 o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing before the snow was cleared away from the engine and
carriages. The train had been at a standstill for nearly
twelve hours.

MARRIED BY MISTAKE —Last evening Edward
Thayer awl Miss Melcn P. Jellman, attended by Mr.
Austin Humphrey and Annie E. Crause, went to St. Paul's
Church, the former couple to get married, and the latter
to act as groomsman and bridesmaid. They all stood up
before the altar, and the officiating clergyman, the Rev.
Mr. Dunn, supposing that both couples were to be married,
requested the gentlemen to join hands with their respec-
tive ladies, which was done, and in a very short space of
time the four were made two. The situation being fully
realised by the latter couple, they concluded to accept
what they could not eery well help, and all adjourned to
their boarding-house quite well pleased with the result of
the preacher's mistake.—Ddroit Union.
