relateete the version which appeared in the burepetidatw Belga
As that journal retranslated the report from the English bent -
lotion in the Daily New*, it was impoemble that its rondos
could agree exactly with the original. To put an end to
cavils, the Doily Nees this meaning publishes the original
French teat ; and accompanies it with none, refuting its
falsehoods and fallacies.

...ARMY OF RAILWAY TICEETS.—One evening
last week, great excitement was caused among the employes
at the Cheltenham terminus, by the discovery that six
first-class tickets had been stolen from the algae daring
the temporary absence of one of the clerks. The
matter was a night before the loud, and the two
clerks ware fined 51. 2s. each (the value of the
tickets), end the whole of the servants of the
company of course lay under suspicion. Fortu-
nately, however, on Monday, it was diecovered that the rob-
bery had been committed by a lad attached to the telegraph
Aloe, and it was found that only one of the tickets had been
used. end that by the boy himself, who had celebrated his
good hick by treating himecU to a first-clam ride to "the

that the fine levied on the two clerks will be mitigated by the
directors to the value of the ticket settrily used, being 170.
