the treachery or understand the wrong to them-
selves. The case of the most alarmed French
manufacturers is better than this. They and their
fathers grew up under the system which the Ame-
ricans are creating, and to them it is as venerable
as any old part of their polity or social ideas
which may be left. What they defend as vener-
able the American Protectionists set up for the
fresh admiration of their fellow-citizens. The
feelings of observers differ accordingly, and
Englishmen who have tested and experienced the
blessings of Free Trade regard the French manu-
facturers with far inure of congratulation than
p,.ty, because they are in the way of commercial
wiad.un and fortune ; whereas they regard the
American public with more pity than hopefulness
—supposing that the American public knows no
better than to submit to privation and heavy taxes
on commodities, for the profit of a class which
proposes to grow rich by au artificial industry, at
the public expense. If this is permitted to go on,
American manufactures will stand still or dege-
nerate ; American industry will be restricted,
.tmerican expenditure fraudulently taxed in every
house, and American commerce excluded from a
large share in the world's traffic. In France,
meanwhile, everything will brighten and expand,
as far as is possible in the absence of political
freedom. The population of the empire will cease
to decline, and begin to grow. The desperate
poverty in the back streets of the towns, and in
the villages, will begin to admit something like
hope. The soil will show signs of improved tillage,
and the labourers' faces of brightening intelligence.
The struggle of the middle classes to live will relax,
and they will enjoy more comfort and new luxuries
from year toyear. The lino ingenuity and taste which
have given some French manufactures the supre-
macy in the world's markets, even under the
heaviest impediments of a protective system, will
be stimulated to new triumphs, and win fresh ad-
miration and fresh custom. No free-trader will
question the reasonableness of this anticipation.
American Protectionists—hardly anybodyelse—
may wonder at such anticipations being given out
by commercial rivals ; for the idea of American
Protectionists is the exploded old notion that in
commerce and manufactures one man's gain must
be another man's loss. In France, we may now
hope, this notion is regarded as it is in England—
as the very reverse of the truth. In France, as in
England, it is fully comprehended, we trust, by all
who have an interest in the great events of this
day, that, if only French industry can stand its
ground, it will be a great advantage to all parties
that they can buy and sell more freely than before.
Whenever the freedom becomes complete, and
Vie last protective duty is erased from the French
as already from the English schedule, the mutual
benefit will become too evident to be questioned
even by theorists among the ironworks of Penn-
-8)1 (anis or the cotton mills of Massachusetts.

PARIS, Ocr. 1.

The Mimitesr, in its bulletin of this morning,
publishes a telegraphic despatch from Constanti-
nople, announcing a modification in the ministry,
by which Mehemet Ruschdi Paella becomes Minis-
ter of War, in place of Narvik Pacha.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(non ova ow conaseromoir.)
PARIS, MOSDAT ETIOMIO.

The Emperor and Empress, who were expected
at St. Cloud to-day from Biarritz, will not come till
to-morrow.

Opinions are much divided, both here awl in
Germany, as to the political importance of the King
of Prussia's visit. Some, relying upon the text of
the announcement in the Be flirt Gazette that the
King is coming to Comphgue to return the Em-
peror's visit to Baden-Baden last year, insist that
King William has no other object than to perform '
a tardy and reluctant act of politeness. This is
naturally not the favourite opinion in French poli-
tical cinder. It is rumoured that if the King finds
a few hours to come to Paris from Compiegue, it
will be intuguito.
A mot in circulation to-day, relative to the
Italian question, deserves to be quoted, because it
"paints a situation." The news which I gave
yestenlay that the approval or disapproval of
Ricasoli's proposals to the Pope awaits the Em-
peror's return, is now the common talk, and in
reference to the result of his Majesty's considera-
tion, it is said :—"Either Baron Ricasoli will be
in Rome before Christmas, or by All Saints' Day
(November 1) he will be no longer a minister."
The Italian government, with a liberality ill re-
quited by the miserable conspiracies headed by
Francis 11. at Rome, allowed the late Neapolitan
royal family the fullest latitude for tak-
ing away anything that could, by any
stretch of construction, be called private property.
It is now announced that 57 packages, containing
objects of great value, and among them several
paintings of ancient masters, have just arrived at
Marseilles, to the address of Count Aquila, and
that by special favour of the French government
they are admitted free of duty.
The panic at the Bourse is somewhat stayed, and
at the close of businou. there was a degree of firm-
ness ; nevertheless, the last quotations of the Rente
—6Bfr. 65c. and alfr. 55c. —eh ow a further fall of sc.
and 10c. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. In railways there
is no sensible change.
The Procureur-General of Corsica, who, in a case
already celebrated, prosecuted M. Fabiani, the
editor of the Obscreciteur Curse, and also a councillor-
general of Bastes, has arrived in Paris for the pur-
pose, as it cannot be doubted, of supporting his,
own cause both with the government and the Court
of Cessation, to which the defendant has
appealed. The libel consisted in a statement
that the Procureur-General was not present'

at the official celebration of the Emperor's fate on
August 15, and that people were surprised at his
absence, more particularly because, while the fate
was going on, he had been seen walking about in
other parts of the town. This statement was lite-
rally tree, but the fact, as officially represented, is
that the Procureur-General, who, although indis-
posed, had attempted to join the other authori-
ties, found himself too unwell, and was compelled
to go home. Justice in Corsica holds that a news-
paper editor who did not know these facts was
bound to have made inquiries, before stating that the
public was surprised at the Procureur-General's
absence. This is the whole case. The Appeal
Court of Corsica, however, drawing a very line
distinction, varied, in favour of the defendant, the
judgment pronounced in the Court of First
Instance. The latter court, with extravagant
loyalty, held that it was an attack upon
the " honour" of the defendant to state
in a newspaper that the public was surprised at
his absence from the Emperor's fate, but the
superior tribunal, more moderate, ruled that it
was only an attack upon hie "consideration," and
therefore reduced the original punishment from
three months' imprisonment to one. Although I
should think it quite absurd to cast a doubt upon
the ostensible loyalty of the Procureur-General of
Corsica, or upon that of any other official, I do
not wonder at the anxiety shown by the above
functionary in the present instance to justify his
susceptibility, because the prosecution, which he
instituted on most frivolous grounds against •
popular luau, produced in the department of
Corsica an effervescence bordering on insurrection.
M. Abel de Pujol, ono of the most eminent
French painters of this century, died on Saturday,
at the age of 70. He was born at Valenciennes,
the native town of Watteau, and at • very early
age became a pupil of David, whose peculiar man-
ner—that of • school now nearly extinct—he
inherited. As long ago as 1810, his picture of
" Jacob blessing Joseph's Children," attracted the
lattention of connoisseurs, and in the following
year " Lycurgus presenting the Heir to the
Throne" obtained the grand prize, and laid the
ifoundation of the rising painter's reputation. Few
artists were more industrious than M. de Pujol.
Besides his m►ny oil paintings, among which the
most famous is " St. Stephen preaching the
Gospel," iu the Valenciennes museum, ho was the
author of several !resew' in the churches of St.
Sulpice and St. Roch, and in the Bourse ; and he
took part in the decorations of the library of the
Louvre, and the Diana Gallery at 'outainebleau.
He was a member of the Academy of Fine Arta
ever since 1836, when he succeeded Baron Gros,
and wan made an officer of the Legion of Honont4l
M. Guizot was reported, a few months since, to
have turned Roman catholic. That story has 11
never been either denied or confirmed ; but it will
not soon be forgotten by the French Trotestanta—
who took great umbrage at it—that his last speech
at the annual protestant meeting teemed with
Ultramontaniat sentiments. Following up the
same order of ideas, he has for some time been
at work at a book iu favour of the temporal power
of the Pope, which is now on the eve of publication.
Revelations, probably emanating from himself, are
already made in the French press touching the
general scope awl tenor of this book. It appears
that M. Guizot, though—self-esteem being much
more developed in his organisation than the love
of approbation—he is less susceptible than most
men on the score of public opinion,feels the want of
support •nd countenance when he stands forward
as the protestant champion of popery at this par-
ticular time. And, accordingly, he has found a co-
adjutor in the person of a great Lutheran doctor,
who, however, like himself, feels that his argu-
ments need reinforcement by the authority of im-
posing names ; for he pretends that both tho Em-
peror of Russia, the Byzantine sovereign, and Lord
Palmerston, the protestant statesman, stand com-
mitted to the opinion that the temporal power of
the Popo is essential to civilisatiou and Christian
liberty.

One of the funniest quarrels between a manager
and an actress that was ever brought before the
public has just occurred between the celebrated
singer Madame Ugalde and the director of the
Opera Comique. On Saturday evening the follow-
ing placard was patted on.the doors of the above
establishment :—" The theatre is closed in conse-
quence of the refusal of Madame Ugalde to do her
duty." The papers of this morning publish a letter
from Madame Ugalde, protesting against the above

representation as a calumny, and asserting that she
is in possession of a medical certificate showing
that a very bad cold made it impossible for her to
appear. But the manager carries on the war by
publishing in the evening papers a letter signed by
three physicians, Drs. L. Boutin, Josab, and
Faivre, reporting that they visited Madame
Ugalde, for the purpose of ascertaining her state
of health, and that, although "relatively ndis-
posed," she was perfectly able to sing on Saturday
evening.

THE FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE PHILA•
DELPHIA THEATRE.

The Philadelphia Press, describing more fully
the accident of which an account appeared in yesterday's
Express, says :—" An accident of frightful fatality occurred
at the Continental Theatre, m W ainut-street, on Satur-
day right. Since the destruction and accompanying
casualties of the National Theatre, some years
ago, we have had no theatrical matters so terrible to
recount. A few weeks ago Mr. William Wheatley, an old
and favourite actor and manager, leased and refitted the
place. At greet expellee be produced the stage edition of
Shakespeare's Tempest, and devoted unusual means to per-
fecting the scenic and mechanical arrangements. The
ballet corps was numerous. All at once those accustomed
to witnessing show pieces saw an unnecessary lieht
glaring over the top of the rear scene. Before they had
time to speculate upon it, a number of men in shirt
sleeves (stage carpenters) made their appearance, and, while
the confusion grew momentarily, a sharp scream rang
upon the ears of the people, and a woman in ballet coetunie,
with her dress on tire, emerged from the side scenes, waving
her arms above her head. In a moment She fell into the
abyss where the ship was riding. At the same time a suc-
cession of screams ensued. Trinculo suddenly ceased to
joke, and dropped into the water, while Stephan forgot to
be drunk, acid-became as sober as a judge. The girls were
dressing for the ballet. The dressing rooms adjoin Samson-
street, and in one at the north-west corner of the building
the MAIM Gale were adjusting themselves for the ballet
far Act 11. Misr 'Lela Gale, one of the sisters, stood upon
a settee to reach her dress, and when in the act of handing
it down, the flame of gas from an adjacent tube set
it on tire. The llamas communicated to her under-
clothes, and she was all ablaze in ao instant. Her site's
rushed up to extinguish the fire, and they, too, were
ignited. The fire mounted to their arms and breasts,
inflicting terrible burns. Panic-stricken, they ran from
the roots, through a narrow passage-way, into the next
dressing-room tilled with ballet ladies. The gauze dresses
of there blazed up directly, and, screaming, struggling,
wrestling, the poor creatures either turned and leaped
from the windows into Samson-street, or ran hither and
thither calling for assistance. Mies Zelia Gale, with her
clothing on tire, and uttering loud screams, ran down
stairs and upon the stage, behind the scenes, falling below
the stage level, where she was caught in the arms of
Mr. Thomas Bayard, the carpenter of the theatre. Mr.
Bayard, in attempting to extinguish the fire with a ' sea
cloth,' was himself burned about the hands and arms.
Miss Clara Clifton was caught in the arms of the by.
standee, having leaped down and escaped unhurt, her
clothing not having taken fire. Miss Hannah Gale did
not jump from the window until she was badly burned,
and when she leaped she fell to the ground upon her
back, and sustained severe injuries from the fall as well
as from her burns. She was carried into Greets tavern,
near by, where she lay in an almost hopeless condition
at a late hour. On Sunday, at 10 o'clock, she expired
at the hospital, in great agony. Miss Alma Nicholls, in
her fright jumped, from • platform to the stags, •
distance of about ten feet. She will not recover. Miss
Abby Carr was burned about the breast and waist. Phebe
Forbes died in the morning at nine o'clock ; Miss Anna
M'Bride died at six o'clock in the morning. Misses Ade-
line Gale and Ruth Gals are badly burned ; their mass are
not hopeless. Mrs. Mary E. Hermon will not live. Her
husband watched ber up to a late hour last night. Mrs.
Anna Phillips died during Sunday afternoon. Kate
Harris was burned slightly. The Misses Gale were
young ladies of preps easing appearance. They were
excellent dancers. They were English by birth,
and they first appeared professionally in this city
in the 11.0112i11i troupe at the time Yawl was brought
out as a ballet at the Academy of Music. Six of these
burned women had died %TM mid hour last night, and four
more are not expected to survive the next twenty-four
hours. All of them suffered terribly, calliug for water most
piteously, and maintaining their senses unimpaired to the
last. Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley were in the hospital through.
out, ministering to their necessities, and doing all in their
power to make their last moments peaceful. The matter
was purely accidental, and no stigma can in any way be
cast upon the management."
The following additional particulars are from the Phila-
delphia North American :—" Hannah Gale had lain at
Greer's saloon. Soon after she was brought there her pain
owed, the result of inward mortification. She was en-
tirely tranquil, and calmly asked those present to read the
Bible to her. An intimate friend, Miss Annie Wilkes,
spent some time with her reading the sacred hook. For her-
self she had no apprehensions, but for her sisters and
her mother she felt keen anxiety. Anna died first.
Her mind wandered shortly after reception ut the hospital,
and at 6 o'clock death removed her to the laud of spirits.
Miss Phelps was the next to go. At 1 o'clock the
messenger came, and she expired in the full possession
of her faculties, glad to be released front sufferings which
words utterly tail to give a description of. Hannah
Gels died at 3 o'clock. A death-bed more solemn, yet
less mournful, is seldom seen. The Gale sisters have
lived—so says everybody who knew them—a blameless
life. Less selfishness in a circle of sisters, perhaps, was
never known. Hannah during her last momenta mani-
fested a degree of resignation too sublime to result from
anything but sustaining grace. She had lived a blameless
life, and dying, she declared that He who bad been her
strength in life was now supporting her as the veil between
life and eternity grew thin. The dying girl conversed as
few people would suppose her capable of conversing, sod
as the last breaths fluttered upon her lips, the name of her
Saviour was pronounced with it."

SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A GERMAN
BARONESS OP ATTEMPTING TO POISON
HER HUSBAND.

The little town of Bruchsal, Baden, where Oscar
Becker was tried, has just been thrown into excitement
nearly equal to that of the Becker case by the trial of •
lady of high rank, the Baroness de Bsumbech, on •
charge of attempting to poison her husband. The trial oc.
copied the sittings of the &adze court at B,uchsal during
the 26th, 27th, and 28th ult. Madame de Iluumbsch is
a holy of forty-two years of age, and is described as of 14
distinguished and noble mien, with pale, handsome face.
She was accompanied in the court by her daughter. The
e.harie against the baroness was that the had attempted to
take the life of her husband by mingling quantities of
phosphorus with the sugar usually put into warmed beer
which he was in the habit of having served to him. A sin-
gular peculiarity iu the case was that only some of the
servants of the baroness had set suspicion on foot, and taken
the steps which led to the proceedings. The Baron
Baumbach had never believed the charge, and in his
examination before the court repelled all idea of a lul-
-1 melon of his wife's iunocency with the utmost emotion.
Borne tnthog quarrels between tho married pair
appeared to have tint given rise to any suspicion. It WWI
also hinted that the baron had endeavoured to form an
improper relation with • lady of rank, an acquaintance of
his woos, and that this circumstance had awakened the
baronese's jealousy. This allegation, however, was warmly
denied by the baroness herself, by the baron, and by several
witnesses. The jury only deliberated live minutes, and then
returned a verdict of not guilty, which was received with
loud applause in • densely crowded court. The Baron de
Baumbach immediately rushed to his wife and embraced
her, and the scene which took place is described as singu-
larly affecting.

A correspondent writes from Caustatt (Wurtem-
berg), Sept. 28 i—" We are in high Pte here to-day, this
being the eightieth anniversary of /be King's birthday, and
as his Majesty has now attained his eightieth year, and is
the oldest of all the monarchs in Europe, the people deter-
mined to celebrate the day with extraordinary festivity.
In the forenoon his Majesty, with the principal personages
of the court, attended divine &swift in the royal chapel;
end there, as well as in all the churches (the
whole country is firmly protestant), the text of
the sermon was from Job x., 12 : Thou but
granted me life and favour, and thy visitation bath pre-
served my spirit.' What strut* me av exceedingly pecu-
liar was that the King gave out the text himself, as if to
acknowledge publicly his sense of the kindness which
Divine providence has vouchsafed to him. There was, later
in the day, a grand reception at the palace, at which the
diplomatic corps and the high functionaries of the kingdom
offered their congratulations. A grand family dinner took
place afterwards, and in the evening a newepera—Orrtchtn
von Goeurd—wes represented, the theatre being crowded
to excess, and the Kiog, who stayed to the end, being im-
mensely applauded."
. . .

The vintage is being carried on with great activity
is the south of Frame and in Burgundy. "In our depart-
ment," says the Courrier du Oerd, " the grapes are per-
fectly ripe, and yield a juice of such sweetness and colour
that they will produce very superior wine. Moreover, the
grapes are of such large size that a greater quantity of wine
is expected than at one time seemed probable." The Journal
de Sane-et-Loire thus speaks of the vintage in the Mason-
Dais :—" The vintage is favoured with magnificent weather.
Everywhere the grimes are fine, there being very few that
have not ripened. The belief accordingly is that the wine
will be of a superior quality. Some samples which have
already been obtained are rich in colour and in alcohol,
and extremely smooth to the palate, in place of being
rough, as wu at fint upprelnuded."

ALARMING RIOT AT NORTONIN-THR-MOORi.
Yesterday, at the Town-hall, Hanley, before T.
B. Item (stipendiary), W. Brownfield, E. J. Ridgwav, and
G. Mcock, Figs., eight men, on remand from Burs. em on
Tuesday, namely, Robert Hales, Thomas Hales, Joseph
Hake, John Hall, and Richard Creswell, all of Mow
Cop ; George Machin, Biddulph ; Thomas Hales, Longton
and Thomas Hides, Wolverhampton, were charged with
having created a riot of a most alarming character, at
Norton Green Hall, near Bundem, the residence of Mr.
Oldacre, • retired solicitor. The iocidents connected with
this riot, which has caused the liveliest interest in the dis-
trict from the unusual features attending it, may be thus
briefly stated :—On the 9th Sept., the prosecutor and family
received au unceremonious visit from a body of men—about
eight in number—who demanded possession of the ball.
Naturally, on the preferment of this request, Mr. Oldacre
asked upon what grounds the claim was made ; when a man
not in custody with defendants produced • document par-
riortieg to be • copy of the will of • former proprietor of
the hall, Ann Meir. This proceeding was immediately fol.
lowed by Hales, of Longton, declaring that he claimed the
property us heir-at-law of Alfred Hales, and subsequently,
that he claimed it by assignment of Thomas Hales, of
Wolverhampton, who it was alleged, was the real heir of
Alfred Hales. Mr. Oldsere, of course, misted the claim,
and told the party they had no substantial grounds fur
malciug it, or they would have resorted to legal advice.
This quiet but determined opposition only served to incense
the aggressors, who persisted in their demand, two of them
seising the keys of the entrance doors to the hull. Ulti.
nudely, however, the keys were re-taken—assistance, in the
persons of the parish constables, having arrived during the
altercation—aud the party (two or three of whom had left
on being requested) were ejected. Next morning, the de-
fendant' again put in au appearance, but this time accom-
panied by about a hundred others. On the approach of
his formidable gang, the doors of the hull were secured,
and Mr. Oldacre advanced to expostulate with the ring-
leaders. All parley, however, failed to produce a pacific
result; peeseeriou of the house was again demanded, and
being, as heretofore, refused, • some of indescribable riot
ensued. With Mr. Oldacre is their midst, the mass of
men made • rush at the kitchen door, but, finding that it
withstood their first efforts, • battering ram was extem-
porised, under the heavy blows of which the door quickly
yielded. An inner door was next attacked, and although
of oak, studded with mile, smashed in pieces ; the apart-
manta were entered, and all the moveable furniture carried
out of doors. Each of these exploits was followed by
tumultuous cheer from the mob, who hail placed one of
eight named as sentry to prevent ingress. In attempting to
pass this man, Mr. Oldacre experienced rough usage.
After a considerable time usurped by these turbulent pro-
ceedings, a number of neighbours were let in, sod the mob
were expelled. The prisoners were committed for trial at
the next assizes, but were released on bail.

Among the booty taken by French soldiers at
Pekin, was (says the Toulonnais) • valuable and curious
work of art, via, a thrum of a carnal in solid silver, nearly
20 inches high, bearing on it. back • clock, and its hump
being decorated with rubies, emeralds, and other precious
stones. The statuette, on which the word " London" is
engraved, is in the possession of a non-commissioned officer
of the 101st Regt., who, the Teufunnais states, has refused
70,0001 r. for it.
MEMORIAL TO EARL RVSSELL ON THE AFFAIRS
OF MEXlCO.—Yesterday a memorial, very numerously
signed by the leading merchants of London, Liverpool,
Manchester, Birmingham, and other towns, holding relations
with the republic of Mexico, either in commerce or as ere.
ditors of the state, was presented at the Foreign•ollice. Mr.
Layard, 111. P., the Under-Secretary, received it, in the ab.
seam of the noble earl, to whom he intimated it should be
forwarded forthwith, for consideration. The memorial re.
capitulates at considerable length the state of affairs as at
prevent existing between Mexico and British interests in
that state ; and the memorialista suggest that, with a view
to remedy the evils that prevail, a joint protective force
should be thrown into Mexico by England and France, in
order to maintain tranquillity, and for the restoration of
social and political order.
MEMORIAL TO THE LATE MR. SAMVEL GERNEY.—•
Yesterday in the Broadway, Stratford, were opened for the
public use • set of drinking fountains, which, together with
a handsome geenite obelisk, have been erected in memory
of the late Samuel Gurney. The movement originated
about two years ago io the mind of a working-man residing
in the ueighbourhood, who has acquired some local cele-
brity in connexion with the temperance movement. The
obelisk stands some forty feet in height. About sixty-five
tons of granite are used in its construction. The fountains,
two in number, form a group of lilies, and the whole work
has been executed iu a very creditable manner by the
Cheesering Granite Company, from the design of Mr. John
Bell, the sculptor. Some thousands of persons from the
neighbourhood assembled to witness the ceremony, and
suitable addresses were delivered by the Rev. A. Ram,
vicarof Stratford, the Rev. H. Richard, Samuel Gurney,
M.P., and others. _ _ _

PASSPORTS TO THE UNITID STATLS.—MT. Little-
John, the United States consul at Liverpool, received yes-
terday a circular from the American legation in London to
the effect that all persons leaving Liverpool for the United
States of America must be provided with passports from the
respective authorities. We believe that the COMMIS of the
United States at the different ports in the United Kingdom
have each received a corresponding notice.
ABOLITION OF ANOTHER ANCIENT INSTITCTION.—•
On Saturday expired the isianoyeuce juries of Westminster,
which were instituted as far back as the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, but which were abolished by an act of last ses-
sion. The Dean and Court of Burgieses are now to appoint
inspectors to act in the place of householders, who were
wont to parade the streets and inspect the weights and
measures for the shopkeepers. The act provides that
" every person who shall abuse or insult any such inspector
when in the execution of his office, or shall in any way
obstruct the execution of the said office, shall be liable to •
penalty not exceeding 405."

Robert Miller, recently the Newcastle and Shields agent of
the Royal Liver Friendly Society, an institution established
to afford benefits to working men in time of sickness,
and the payment of a certain sum at death, was brought
before the 'North Shields magintrates, charged with an ex-
tensive series of embezzlements. The prisoner is or was a

sent from the bead office in case of death. Mr. Blackwell
prosecuted, and four cases having been proved against the
prisoner, he was sent for trial at the Northumberland
sessions.

EZTKSITE ROBBERY OP • JEWELLER'S SHOP IN
Lniarotn.--On opening his shop in Exchange-street East,
yesterday morning. Mr. Jamas Darby, dealer in jewellery,
pictures, and articles of terra, discovered that it had been
entered and plundered, between the time of shutting up on
Saturday night and his opening in the morning. The
premises are situate two or three doors northward
of Dale-street corner, and above the shop is a range
of offices, entering by No. 10. The office iITIIII.-
diately over Mr. Darby's shop is occupied by Messrs.
A. and H. Rawson. The door of this office had been
forced open, sad. laving obtained cadmice to it, the
course of proceedings on the part of the barFlars most have
been an easy one. Between the outer and inner office the
thieves cut a pretty large hobs in the floor, whi.:h formed at
once an opening into the shop below. From this they
dropped into Mr. Darby's shop, and immediately set about
their work of spoliation. A case in the window filled with
rings, gold pencil-cases, gold chains, breastpins and other
articles of jewelry, was carefully emptied of its contents ;
number of valuable opera-glasses and other readily port-
able articles of value were carried off, in all to the value of
about 200/. In the office of Messrs. Rawson were found a
number of pictures, a large musical box, and other heavy
or bulky articles belonging to Mr. Darby, packed up, and
ready for removal. From this last circumstance it is not
unreasonable to conjecture that the burglary had been com-
mitted between Saturday night and Sunday morning, as the
robbers appear to have considered that they bad time to re-
turn and carry off the bulky portion of the plunder. As
yet no trace of the depredators has been found.
DEXTRITTIVE FIRE AT BASTED. About tell
minutes past two o'clock on Thursday morning the rag
warehouse at Basted paper mills, Kent, was discovered to
be on fire by one of the engineers at work in the fac-
tory, who instantly gave the alarm ; but being stored
with combustible articles the fire got such head that
any attempt to extinguish it was utterly useless. In a
few minutes the roof fell in with a tremendous crash,
and the wind coming from the south-west the destruction
of the dwelling-bones close to the mill seemed inevitable.
Mr. Moocktoo, the proprietor, immediately despatched an
express to West Mailing and Maidstone for the engines,
and gave directions to pull down a long passage connect-
ing the factory with the paper warehouse. The family
were removed to a cottage near at hand, but happily
the wind shifted, and by a prompt and energetic
use of the Basted engines both the house, the
paper stores, and steam boilers were saved. The de-
structiou of machinery and rags (of which there
was a much larger store than usual, in anticipation
of the abolition of duty on the Ist October) is very great.
We understand that both the buildings and stock are par-
tially insured in the Rent and Roy al offices. By this cala-
mity a large nuinber of hands are thrown out of employ.
mink which must occasion considerable distress in the
neighbourhood. The factory hands and the neighbours
exerted themselves to the utmost. The ruins were visited
by hundreds during the day, R. Taasell. Esq., the chairman
of the Kent office, and K. Letitia!), Esq., the secretary,
being among the earliest arrivals —Maidstone Attend.
