Rouen, " that a project, which has bees many limes talked
of, relative to the centralisation and the working of all the
provincial theatres by oae private admisistration, has just
been sent to the Minister of State and to a special commis-

A Paris correspondent writes to the Brussels
Independahre —" After the attempt of Orsini, a .petal
police force charged with the eurveillanoe of ranges', wee
organised at London. This force, ooropeed pertly of
Frenchmen and partly of English, recently biome aware
of a plot which was to break out on the day of the prince's
marriage at Naples. An mewed would put the capital Into
confusion, while a disembarkation would be effected in the

neighbourhood end aggravate the movement, bat the English
end French governments considered It their interest to stop
at the beginning en agitation which might compromise the
peace of Europe. The king, therefore, watt put upon his
guard. Some Orsini= shells were mesa in a house in the
environs of Naples, but the authorities were not able to
prevent the distribution of political pamphlets, and
portraits of King Murat,' which was to be the watchword
of the insurrection. The King of Maple* has shown himself
extremely thankful for the novice rendered him by France
sad England, and I have region to believe that the mission
of the Duke Sam Capriole is connected with these events."

INOLISM TBAKILLASS AMONGST BRIGANDS.

A letter from Rome of the 15th contains an account
of another daring sot of brigandage. It says

" The extension of railways is the dominion, of his holi-
sm' will present to travellau the advantage of approaching
the Eternal City without being subject to the ovals% hts of
brigands so much as is, unfortunately, the case j 0...; now,
when bad roads, tedious hills, and solitary wastes invite
outlaws to lay violent hand. upon straggling reftenno
vehicles or ponderous family carriages.

" A specimen of this disagreeable kind of excitement was
experienced on Wednesday teat by Mr. and Mrs. Roberta:in,
who were travelling to Rome with post-horses, and had
arrived at their last day's journey, at the town of Viterbo, on
the preceding evening. The postillion who drove them out
of that town was probably in league with the robbers, for
he was observed to pull up his horses at • lonely spot of the
forest which covers the mountain of Viterbo, end imam-
d Jai! jel afterwards five men nuked out of the brushwood,
with guns and the usual complement of small
weapons, and wearing black veils over their face.. These
worthies lost no time in opening the carriage door, and were
proceeding to drag out the travellers, commencing with the
gentleman but Mrs. Robertson, who has a perfect command
of the Italian language, reproached them in such powerful
terms for their audacity in venturing to lay violent bands
upon
a lady,
yg that

she was able to preserve herand jewel-box, upon which
she set whilst the brigands turned up the onshicess,
examined the pockets, and searched the interior
of the carriage. Mrs. Robertson, with admirable presence
of mind, had readved her husband's puree from him whilst
ha was being pulled oat of the carriage, end had taken cot
the chid part of the gold it contained, so that when it wee
handed over to the brigands with its silver and small change
It was not worth much more than a couple of napoleons.
The robbers having made Imre of Mr. Robertson's rem-
servant and maid—the latter being infinitely more dermal
thin her mistress—proxistied to undo the luggage on the
imperial, but their scrutiny of that indispensable appendage
to a travelling carriage was interrupted by the unwelcome
intent communicated to them by Mrs. Robertson, to
the edict they had better he gni& in their opera-
tto m'ions, as a party of ("Mums were at a short
behind, -and would sooty wpm in sight. This wee
perfectly true, as the traveller" had passed the gendermes

and soon dux abandoned their plunder on the high road, to
seek the safer shade of the forest, leering the well satisfied
travellers to continue their journey to Rome, where they
arrived the same evening without further inconvenience,
the attack having taken place about eight o'clock in the
morning. A report of the occurrence having been made to
the British re tative on the following day, Mr. Odo

MARRIAGES IN CEYLON.—An ordinance, making
Important alterations in the law of earflap u observed in
Kandy, has passed the Ceylon Legislative Council. In
Kandy, we believe, the Nair custom prevails of one woman
having several husbands, generally speaking, all of whom
are brothers. The new adieus.* declares this species of
polygamy with certain inceptloes, u also the marmite of

lianas of which had been lost through the alleged miscon-
duct of • former occupier. The application was reeds by
Mr. Edmund Timothy, supported by Mr. Mandleld, who
stated to the bench that this wee the fifth application for •
license, and that on three previous metro= he had moon
to believe that three out of the four magistrates who attended
were favoureble to the granting of the license; bat inas-
much se the act of parliament required that the Hoene'
should be aliened by four of the magistrates actin for the
division of the county of Kent, the .me was refused. Mr.
Mansfield produced testimonials of character of the appli-
cant, signed by several barristers and others who had known
him for year Mr. Timothy, men., ale, addressed the bench,
calling their attention to the fact that the applicant bad kept
the house closed dace September last rather than infringe
the law, while the Lecture Hall and another plea kept
open, and If the limes was granted the place would be
properly conducted. The chairman (Sir Thomas Wilson)
consulted the other magistrates on the bench, sad them
announced that the application was refused.

morial, Old Randal Monday has been the winter
holiday in Dunfermline and its neighbourhood. Of
late years, however, an attempt has been made by •
few parties, not natives of the tows, to substitute
New Year. Day, and this year the manager of the largest
factory is the tows, employing 600 or 600 young women,

field—the manager sad renters pulling one any, the lade the

cibly abducted. The result was that, after some hard blows,
the manger lost his hat and temper, and had hie cost ma-
siderably damaged, when he retired within his castle with a
goodly remnant of the female workers, whom, after coming
to • batter frame of dad, he liberated at an early part of the

an inquest on the body of Charlotte Oldtleld, whose death
took place on Saturday evening, under moat distressing Mr-
