BOWSTREET

THE LATE ROBBERY Of WATCHES IN THE STRAND.—
Joseph, Levy, the person charged with being in posses-
sion of a watch, forming pad of the property of Mr.
Milleret, a watchmaker, a native of Geneva, was this
afternoon again placed at the bar.

It will be recollected that the lodgings of Mr. Milleret,
No. 1, Cecil-street, had been 'robbed of property to the
amount of 3001., and that the prisoner was taken into
custody while attempting to pawn a watch, which
formed part.of the stolen property, at a shop in Ryder's-
court.

The particulars of this case have already appeared in
The Sun.

The only evidence offered this morning was the fol-
lowing

Paul Milleret, residing at Southampton, stated he
attended to his father's business in this country. Ile
sends watches from Geneva to him to sell. Last Mon-
day week, a ease of watohes was consigned to him from
Geneva, he paid the duty himself at the Custom-house,
and
.brought them away. There were 33 gold and 3
silver watches in the case. The value of the whole he
estimated at 3001. On receiving the watches at the
Custom-house he took them to his lodgings in Cecil-
street, and there gave them to his father who put them
in a trunk and locked them up. This occurred about
half-past five o'clock, and the property was then safe,
and on arrival of himself and father from a walk, at
about 9 o'clock they found the place had been broken
open and all the watches, a gold chain, and a purse con-
taining five or six gold Napoleons stolen. The watch
produced formed a portion of the property in the trunk.
He could swear to the watch, it was numbered 12,510.

Inspector Mackenzie stated that Benjamin, the party
to whom the prisoner had referred to on the last exami-
nation had absconded, but be thought that if he had
time he could find him. Ile had made inquiries and
found that the prisoner was a German tailor, but that
he had been lately, for about six weeks, selling foreign
articles on commission for a person in Little Newport.
street, who gave the prisoner a good character.
Mr. Jos. Holman, an importer of foreign goods, 23,
Little Newport-street, said he had resided there about a
year. Tne prisoner had been employed by him to sell
goods, and he thought he was an honest man. He had
intrusted him with property to the amount of upwards
of thirty or forty pounds.

In answer to the observations of Mr. Henry, the pri•
sonar said that on Sunday week he, at the direction of
his wife, who bad then been but lately confined, went to
invite his brother in-law, Mr. M. Benjamin, to dinner,
and while there he (Benjamin) said to him—" You
sell goods on commission, see if you can sell this
watch. I'll not take less than 4/. for it, but all over
that sum you may have for yourself." Until that day
he had not seen his brother-in-law fora twelvemonth.

Mr. Henry—lt is very important that we should have
this Mr. Benjamin. Can't you find him ?
Prisoner—l don't know where to find him. I don't
know where to get him.
The deposition of the pawnbroker's assistant was here
read, in which it was stated that the prisoner said he
bought the watch.
The prisoner said he made that statement, beoause he
did not choose to satisfy the man in the shop where he
got the watoh from.
Mr. Henry—Any person looking at the watch would
know it was worth double 41.

Prisoner—My brother-in-law gave it me wrapped in
a piece of paper, and I did not look at it.
Mr. Henry (to Inspector Mackenzie)—Who and what
is this brother-in-law he talks of ? Do you know any-
thing of him ?
Inspector Mackenzie stated, that for three years Ben-
jamin had kept a brothel, and was a receiver of stolen
goods. _ _

Mr. Henry—You must have known the sort of per-
On your brother-in-law was.

The Prisoner said he really did not. He had been
absent from England for some time. He had been to
California and other places, and bad not
_seen him for a
very long time. _

Mr. Henry—Well, I will allow you all the facilities
I can to find this brother-in-law. I will not at present
commit you for trial but again remand you.
Prisoner—Will your Worship admit me to bail ?
Mr. Henry—The account you give of yourself is not
altogether satisfactory—but under the circumstances I
wilt take two rc,,ponsible houi-2,:keepf_Te in the sum of
1001. each as bail for your appearance this day week.
You must give the police the usual notice in -order that
theY. May make iminirios into the suiveney "of the Pei,
sons.
The prisoner was then removed the bar.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
To-day's market was rather extensively supplied with
beasts in very middling condition. All kinds moved off
slowly, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday of
2d per 8 lbs. Prime Down sheep were scarce, and in re-
quest at full quotations. Half-breds sold steadily, but no
improvement took place in their value. We were well
supplied with lambs, and the trade for them ruled heavy,
at barely stationary prices. The supply of calves was ex-
tensive, and the veal trade ruled slow, at late currencies.
In pigs very little was doing.
Alilch cows were steady, at from W. to 201. each, in-
chiding their small calf.

them to do better things,and that
they would de-
gi, : ken' persecuting the Church, and hasten to
re!
.r the mischief they had done. Let not, how-
ever„ Sardinia .presume -to carry matters too far.
Th te Pope, to use -a 'Vulgar idiom, far too expressive
foI ' a Popes "will-not stand it;" he is naturally
mi ld, but his predecessors have never shrunk from
usi leg_ necessary severity. There is no other hOpe
of bz anging things round to a right state, and so
let ti ie unregenerate and rebellious children of the
Chu oh look to it, for evil is before them. The
Popt once more raises his apostolic voice to re-
provt e, to condemn, to declare null and void the
laws of Piedmont, and to denounce the greater ex-
coins nunication upon all those who have dared to
apple ova, to propose, or sanction these laws; and
he co ncludes, as the Church of Rome has ever been
womt, to do, with-a solemn prayer for the kingdom
wh o. ;e laws he assumes to abrogate, and the persons
whas le souls he believes he is consigning to eternal
perdition. The Pope next proceeds to treat of the
affairs of Spain, and recites with much minuteness
a treaty concluded in' 1851, in which he had pro
vided that the Catholic religion should alone be
toleratt sl, that bishops should be obeyed iu all
things, .and that the right of the Church to extend
her possessions—through the medium, we sup-
pose
of the last wills and testaments of -her re-
pentant children--should not ,be interfered with
and the Pope tells us, with much simplicity and
good faith, that lie flattered himself he had.
made rather a, good thing than otherwise of this
same convention, especially when he considered
the stttachment of the Spanish nation to the Ca-
tholic faith and the chair of St. Peter. Judge,,
then, of his disgust, when he finds that here also
he hats been deceived, that outrages have been
committed, that Church property is to be sold,
and the jurisdiction of the. Church in many ways
interfered with. The Pope protests that he will
forbid the faithful from taking part in such sales,'
that he will make a flaw in the title of all chin%
lands sold already under his consent, and he ad-
monishes all persons concerned in those matters to
repent and sin no more.
This is a pretty picture drawn by the hand of
the Supreme Pontiff himself of the way in which
he is disposing of the inheritance bequeathed by
St. Peter to his successors. Devout Piedmont is'
lost--devouter Spain is following close upon her
footsteps, and, although measures of -the most ex-
treme severity are resorted to, they seem to be ut-
terly void, and have no effect. We say measures of
the most extreme severity, for there is no weapon.
which can be drawn from the mediaeval armoury of
the Popes which is not brought into requisition
for the purpose of demolishing the contumacious
enemies of the Church. It is of no use to preach.a
crusade against the enemies of the Church, for in
these dark days of mawkish Liberalism there is no,
Simon de Montfort or Duke de Guise to execute.
her justice by the lance or the poniard ; and
France, which still shows some regard for the chair
of St. Peter, employs her troops in maintaining the
tottering' authority of the Pope's crazy throne, awl
rescues him from the vengeance which he would
fain wreak on his disobedient vassals. The Pope
dare not preach a crusade, but what he dares do he
does heartily. He will not tolerate that the Go-
vernments of Spain and. Sardinia should exercise
that right of regulating their affairs which is. in-
herent in the Government of every free nation.'
The Pope goes a step further than he did in his
attack on the liberties and independence of this
nation. He contented himself with ignoring our
laws ; the laws of Sardinia and Spain he professes
utterly to make void and set aside. If this claim
be allowed, no law whatever is valid which has not
received the previous sanction of the Pope, and any
law, however valid, from which that sanction is
ultimately withdrawn becomes worthless. The tem-
poral is swallowed up in. the spiritual part of,-his
power, and he broadly proposes to these delinquent
nations to submit to this invasion of their rights,
or to take the Government of the country "into
their own hands and replace the Church of Rome
in the dominion she has lost. Wrap this up in
what language you will, it really amounts to an
invitation to the subjects of these Princes to cast
off-their allegiance, to expel them from the throne,
and to set up in their stead some one having a
duller sense of national honour, and a fainter idea
of that independence of foreign interference which
is the natural right of every member of the great
European trionfeckvacy. And these exhortations to
rebellion, these proud pretensions to annihilate
laws solemnly passed Sy the national councils of
two independent nations', emanate from a petty,
Italian Prince, who, while he assumes to regulate'
,the internal polity of other States, is so little'
master of his own that, like the tyrants of ancient
'Greece, he dare not put arms in the hands of his
own people, but supports himself partly by the aid
of foreign mercenaries, partly by the troops of a
Power which finds a convenience in prolonging
his rickety existence.
The extremities of insolence aml weakness, o
abject dependence and insolent aggression, were
never better or more forcibly displayed than by
the present Pope. Here is a man who cannot
keep up even the semblance of personal indepen-
dence, the suburbs of whose capital are infested
with banditti, whose finances are hopelessly disor-
dered, and whose life, if left to the affection of his
own subjects, would not be worth half an hour's,
purchase, regulating from between the bars of his
prison the affairs of foreign countries, stirring up
discord, provoking revolution, denouncing, tlireat-
ening, anathematising, nullifying, as if, the world
i
were at his feet, andt) were the only arbiter and
controller,of the destinies of Europe ? Truly we
may ask,' how long shall this man be a snare to us ?
—how long is Europe to tolerate this miserable
counterfeit of mediaeval priestcraft, founded upon
mediaeval superstition I—this attempt to import
into modern times that power against which the
intellect of man rose up in successful rebellion
three centuries ago ? Are we always to have a
revolutionary.power ready, if its demands be com-
plied with, to lend its aid to tyranny in kings, and
if they be refused, to raise up their subjects in
mutiny against them ? It behoves those who be-
lieve that the Papacy is a conservative institution
well to consider these things ; and =we apprehend, if
they do so, they will not fail to arrive at the con-
clusion.that, whatever be its spiritual merits, as a
temporal institution, the Papacy is an evil unmiti-
gated by any countervailing advantage.

(Front the Daily News of this day.)
There is more than at once strikes the eye in
Sir De Lacy Evans's speech on Tuesday last. The
hon. and gallant member must have felt strongly
the importance of his subject, and also have been
most anxious to publish to the country his views
on the conduct of the war, or he would never have
selected the last half-hour of the last day of the ses-
sion to deliver those opinions which are founded
upon professional experience extending over nearly
half a century, as well as upon the latest experience
in the Crimea. On all topics connected with mili-
tary affairs no man in the House of Commons is
heard with so much attention as the veteran who re-
presents Westminster, and out of doors his knowledge
and gallantry always carry with them that weight
and respect which these qualities ever command
amongst Englishmen. The occasion and the oppor-
tunity for his speech were so appropriate that
they could hardly have been accidental, and accord-
ingly we find that both in this country and France
