ANOTHER EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT A WATCAIAKER'S.
—Yesterday information was received that the shop of
Messrs. Reeves and Sons, watchmakers, Newington-
causeway, had been broken into, and a large number of
gold and silver watches stolen therefrom. From the
manner in which the theft was effected there could
be no doubt that the robbery was committed by the
same gang of thieves who perpetrated the extensive rob-
bery in the City. It appeared that Messrs. Reeves
generally kept a valuable stock of watches and time-
pieces in their window, which was secured by patent
shutters. However, the thieves contrived to remove one
of them, and broke a large square of plate glass, when
they seized everything within their reach, and decamped.
The thieves were sheltered from observation by a hoard-
ing close by, which is standing in front of some newly-
- built premises. -

PIEDMON T.

The Cagliari papers, of the 21st and 22d ult.,
give ome account of the commencement of the
operations for the suppression of the convents in
virtue of the new law. At Sassari, all the monas-
tic establishments for males opened their doors to
the autho4ties without the slightest difficulty, not-
withstanding a circular from the bishop exhorting
them to resist. The nuns, on the contrary, made
a good deal of resistance, and in several instances
the doors had to be forced open. At the convent
Santa Chiara, the abbess refused to obey the sum-
mons, but an animated discussion, in a subdued
tone, was heard to go on within, and two voices
were at last distinctly heard to advocate obedience
to the law, but without success ; so that the autho-
rities had to use force to effect their object. When
at last they were enabled to bring the inventory,
they found so few articles of value, that it became
evident a good many must have been removed.
No popular agitation or disturbance occurred in
any case during these proceedings.

LUNATICS ASYLUM (IRELAND) ADVANCES

The LORD CHANCELLOR communicated to the
house a mcsmge from the Queen, in which her Majesty
referred to the expediency of adopting further measures
to meet the expenses of the war, and expressed a hope
that such measures would receive their lordships' con-
currence.

THE REPORTED DEATH OF GENERAL
BEATSON.

Tho Earl of ELLENBOROUGH begged to ask the
noble lord the Minister of War whether there was any
truth in the reported death of General Beatson.
Lord PANMURE said he had no reason to believe
there was any truth in the rumo•ir. There had been
disturbaLces in General Beatson's force, but they had
been suppressed.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked whether it
was true, as was repored, that owing to some difficulty
that had arisen the commissariat in the East was pre-
vented from receiving its usual supplies ?
Lard PANMURE said that the report bad arisen in
consequence of an accident which happened to the
Queen transport ship. He hoped, however, that on
her arrival in two or three days afterwards, the difficulty
had been alt,gether overcome.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH then asked for some
information respecting the Turkish contingent, and ex-
pressed his regret that means were not taken to secure
assistance at the seat of war of the Irregular Cavalry
of India.

Loru PANMURE was happy to report most favour-
ably as to the organisation of the Turkish Contingent.
The success which had attended it had exceeded the
expectation of everybody, and too much praise could
not be given to General Vivian and the British officers
under him for the ability, prudence, and discretion ex-
hibited by them. The body consisted at the present
moment of 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry.

Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 33 inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distanT
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger andal'.
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
ing from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the
above, and the Geoman, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal

a person can be seen and known 11 miles distant; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera house,.

They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,

power.—Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-

from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occi:-

nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that bas been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it

be no doubt that the robbery was committed by the
same gang of thieves who perpetrated the extensive rob-
bery in the City. It appeared that Messrs. Reeves
generally. kept a valuable stock of watches and time-
pieces in their window, which was secured by patent
shutters. However, the thieves contrived to remove one
of them, and broke a large square of plate glass, when
they seized everything within their reach, and decamped.
The thieves were sheltered from observation by a hoard-
ing close by, which is standing in front of some newly-
built promisee.

SIR. DE LACY EVANS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—A letter has appeared in the Daily News of this
(1:43r, and another has been addressed to me from the
Council of the Friends of Poland. I shall feel mubh
obliged if you will cause insertion of this my reply to
both. The Council honour me by proposing again that
I should take the chair at a future meeting. This I feel
under the necessity of respectfully c:eclining, because I
think it was most unfair to make it appear that I was
responsible for, or a party to, the decision of not holding
the meeting that was announced for the Ist inst.

It is stated by the Council that my letter of apology
was not received till late in the afternoon of the Ist inst.
Between nine and ten o'clock of the forenoon it was de-
livered by my servant at the residence of the gentleman
acting for the Council, and his card was returned to me
to indicate its receipt. I gave due notice a full week
previously, that as my health was not good, it would be
necessary to have another chairman in readiness to take
my place in the event, on my part, of inefficiency to pro-
ceed with the business, and I received an assurance that
this should be provided for.
As has been before observed, about a dozen noble-
men and gentlemen of high consideration were re-
peatedly stated as amongst those to be present at this
meeting. In short, the Marquis of Breadalbane, seve-
ral earls, baronets, cabinet ministers, and distinguished
members of the House of Commons, form, I believe, the
Association or Council of the Friends of Poland—most,
or all of whom, I was led to believe, were deeply anxi-
ous to support this movement. How, then, was it pos-
sible for me to suppose that not one of these devoted
friends of the cause would, in case of its being required,
be willing to preside on this occasion, and so to prevent
the disappointment that has occurred?
Twice in the invitation I was honoured with, the
Marquis of Breadalbane was officially alluded to, as the
President of the Council whose support I was to count
on, and at whose instance I was addressed. Yesterday,
however, I was told by a friend (I know not whether
correctly), that in fact several of these noble lords had
no intention of being present. I confess I think that
some direct public intimation from the noble marquis as
to his sanction of what took place would be much ap-
precia,:ed as a future guide for the public.
Hal I been informed that, if any contingency should
cause my absence, no other chairman could be
found, that the meeting would not be held, that the doors
of the hall would be closed, and that the police would
be ordered to disperse the numerous persons who were
assembling, nothing should have induced me to accept
the honourable post which was offered—under such
conditions.

I bcg, therefore, most respectfully, but unequivocally
and finally, to decline incurring such a risk again,--1
have the honour to be, sir, very obediently yours,

COURT OF CHANCERY.
The Lord Chancellor sat to-day at Lincoln's-inn.
DESBOROUGH V. HARRIS.-JUDGMENT.

His Lordship gave judgment this morning in this
case, which was argued before him on Wednesday last.
The case came before his lordship upon appeal from the
judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Wood. The suit in
court below was one of interpleading. The plaintiff is
the secretary of the Atlas Insurance Company, with
whom, in the year 1825, the defendant Harris effected a
policy of insurance on the life of a lady, bearing the
pleasing cognomen of Judith Grubb, for a sum of
3,0001. In the year 1829 Harris assigned the
policy to bankers at Exeter, carrying on their
business under the firm of Sandars and Barnes. In
1834 Harris became insolvent, and took the benefit
of the act, and all his present and future property be-
came vested in the provisional assignee of the Insolvent
Debtors' Court. In 1853 Judith Grubb died, and the
policy therefore became payable. In consequence of
bonuses and accumulations the policy at the death of
Grubb was of the value of 4,5261. Sandars and Barnes,
the banker?, of Exeter, claimed the sum. due on the
policy ; but that claim being disputed by the
defendant Harris, and Sturgess, the provi-
sional assignee, they brought an action against the
Atlas Insurance Company to recover the amount.
Upon these proceedings taking place the plaintiffs filed
their bill for the purpose of having the direction of the
court as to whom they ought to pay the amount of the
policy, and also for an injunction to restrain the pro-
ceedings. On the action bill the right had been settled
by the court. Upon the case coming on before the Vice-
Chancellor Wood, he held that the bankers at Exeter,
Messrs. Sandars and Barnes, were the parties entitled
to the benefit of the policy, and ordered the provisional
assignees of the Insolvent Debtors' Court (Sturgess) to
pay the costs, on the ground that be had not acted
with that quickness and decision which was required of
the court in giving a discharge to the company. The
Lord Chancellor, after reviewing at considerable length
the facts of the case, and the authorities upon the sub-
ject, stated his clear opinion to be that the bill ought, in
the first instance, to have been dismissed with costs
against Sturgess and the bankers, and without costs as
against Harris. The decree was, therefore, ordered to
be varied in that respect.

His Lordship intimated that he should give judgment
in this case, which was argued before him two or three
months since, in about a fortnight ; the only reason for
delaying it was the immense mass of paper connected
with the case.

His Lordship also stated that he would, at the same
time, give judgment in this singular case, in which the
fund in question had been in court for no less than a
century and a half.

His Lordship is the only judge sitting at the present
ime in open court, all the other judges having adjourned
or the tong vacation.

he had a perfect conviction that good reasons did exist
for the course which had been followed, and that it was
not any want of energy, foresight, or courage, that mi..
vented Admiral Dundas and Sir Edmund Lyons from
doing what the noble earl suggested. But when the
noble earl mysteriously and darkly alluded to some im-
pediments which prevented those gallant admirals from
doing what they might have none, he (Earl Granville)
would ask the noble earl whether he could venture to
say that, in his belief, anything which came from her
Majesty's Government--any views of theirs, or any in-
structions they gave—had thrown any such impediment
in the way of the admirals doing what they might have
thought it advisable to do ? To quit the subject of naval
and military operations, he (Earl Granville) had cer-
tainly heard with heartfelt satisfaction the noble earls
both disclaim the idea that the arguments used by any
• party against this bill could convey a reflection upon the
honour of the French empire. He accepted that dis-
claimer with much pleasure, and he had only been led to
think such a reflection might be cast, by some of the ar-
guments used in another place, where an apprehension
was expressed of the possibility of the French nation, in
consequence of a change of government, or of other cir-
cumstances, refusing to fulfil its engagements.
The bill was then read a second time, and their lord-
ships adjourned at a quarter before eight o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock.
LORDS' AMENDMENTS.

The Lords' Amendments to the following bills were

THE CRIMEA.

A letter in the Ost. Deutsche Post states that at
the late visit of the Archbishop of Cherson to Se-
bastopol for the purpose of giving his blessing to
the army, his Grace, after delivering an animated
address to the troops, turned to General Osten-
Sacken, and said—" My son, the last time we met
(after the bombardment of Odessa), it was a divine
inspiration which led me to say to you, 'Go and
fight,—and the Lord our God will give you vic-
tory.' The words of my prophecy are accomplished.
By the defence of the fortress committed to your
care, you have gained immortal laurels for yourself
and your soldiers. And now I say to you once
more—' Fight and triumph,' for you are the elect
of the Lord, destined to become the scourge of his
enemies.' " The writer adds—" It is indeed sur-
prising that General Osten-Sacken, whose military
career extends over 48 years, who has assisted at
more than 100 battles and combats, in which he
has usually been found in the first ranks, has never
received even the slightest wound."

THE IMPOSTOR ALICE GRAY.

Of all the extraordinary revelations which have been
made known in connection with this woman, the
following, which has just come to light, is perhaps the
most startling. An account was published in The Sun
of November 1, 1854, of a "shocking outrage" which
was committed upon a woman in the neighbourhood of
Exeter on the night of the 29th of October. The cir-
cumstances, as then related, were these :—Very early on
the morning of the 30th of October some fishermen,
when off the coast near Rowderham Castle, the seat of
the Earl of Devon, heard piteous cries on shore. Os
putting in their boat they found a woman in a state of
nudity with the exception of a shift. They immediately
took her to the house of Lord Devon's boatman, and the
policeman of the district having been sent for she gave
an account of how she came in the condition in which
she Was found. She alleged that her husband was a sol-
dier in one of the regiments in the Crimea, and that she
had come to Exeter on her way to her friends in the south
of Devon, where she expected to be shortly confined. She
remained in that city a little time with one of her rela-
tives, and not having sufficient money to take her the
whole distance by railway she determined on walking the
first eight miles to Starcross. It was while on this road
that ahe clalcl that she was overtaken by two or three men,
who used her violently, and who, having takes away the
small sum of money she had about her, undressed her and
left her naked on the beach, she being at that time preg-
nant. Her story excited great interest, and much sympa-
thy was manifested. The constable, however, was deter-
mined to ascertain the truth of her statement, and visited
Exeter, but could find no such persons as those whom
she had represented as her relatives. Efforts were,
however, made to secure the men whom she had accused,
and policemen were sent into various towns after them,
but they did not succeed. The woman then took her
departure, and nothing more was heard of her till the
examination of Alice Gray at Wolverhampton, when the
police officer of the Kenton district, near Exeter, wrote
and obtained a daguerreotype likeness of that notorious
character. It was then ascertained beyond all doubt
that she was the same woman who was found naked on
the beach.
