SINGULAR ROBBERY OF £360 AND OTHER VALU.
ABLES AT ELIVICK BALL.—A fortunate yet strange
discovery of stolen property took place on Wednesday,
at Elwick, rear West Hartlepool, In August, 1863, Mr
Baron Park's son was a guest of the Rev. J. A. Park,
at Elwick Hall, and on the night of the 11th of August,
before the household had retired to rest, a pocket-book,
containing two Bank of England notes, ono for £2O) and
the other for £lOO, a cheque for £57, four sovereigns and
some silver, a massive gold watch and chain, gold pin, and
studs, were stolen from the dressing-room of the baron's
son, Mr James Park. Suspicion attached to the bu!ler,
R. H. Hepton, and ho was brought before the magistrates,
but for want of evidence was discharged. He left the
neighbourhood, and got a situation in the south; and a
strict watch was kept over the premises for upwards of a
month, but no clue was obtained to the perpetration of the
robbery, or the discovery of the stolen property. On Wed-
nesday last, 15 months after the robbery, as two of Mr
Park's workmen were engaged in cutting a stack of hay,
they found the pocket-book containing the whole of the
missing property, about three feet from the outside cf the
stack. They took it to Mr Park, end will no doubt receive
the £2O reward that was offered at the time of the robbery.

collection of horses, sound animals for light harness, and for

FEVER IN LIVERPOOL: GOVERNMENT INQUIRY.

—The Medical Department of the Privy Council httvenotl-
tied to the Mayor of Liverpool that, in consequence of the
prevalence of fever in the town, they have determined to
send_down Dr. Buchanan to inquire into the present sani-
tary conditon of the town, more particularly with reference
to the recent spread of fever. As this determination on the

part of the Privy Council may create unnecessary alarm, it
may be as well to state that Dr. Trench, the local medical
officer of health, last week reported to the Health Commit-
tee of the corporation that the death rate of Liverwol was
only five above the average of the last ten years, whilst that
of the metropolis was 31.0 above the average.

DIFFICULT DIPLOMACY.—Diplomacy in Morocco,
besides the difficulties incidental to the discharge of
its high function of composing international difficulties, and
maintaining a good understanding with the Sultan's Go-
vernment, has physical obstacles to encounter unknown to
the diplomatic service in Europe. The European represen-
tatives near the person of the Sultan, if they have occasion to
quit their comfortable residences at Tangier in order really to
approach near the person of the Sheriffian Majesty to whom
they are accredited have, especially in the winter season,
their choice between a land journey overa rough and roadless
country, with the chance of being washed away by rivers
swol'en by ceaseless rains, or else remaining in wet canvas on
their banks till the waters subside and allow of a passage,
and the hardly less dangerous alternative of a sea voyage
and landing on a coast exposed to the heavy swell of the
Atlantic. We noticed the other day that the British
prminis-
treedi
minis-
ter, after paying his visit to the Sultan at Rabat, incurred
ussent

the Pee
tive of France fared no better. Sir John Drummond Hay
embarkation
had paid his official visit, and was in danger on embarking
of being upset in the surf, and rolled back upon the African
share. M. d'Aquin, the French minister, incurred the
exactly opposite peril, that of be;ng swept out to sea. He
had left the French cervate Talisman, embarking with. his
suite in the surf boat sent out from Rabat. The day was
calm, no difficulty in landing could possibly have been
foreseen, and the corvette steamed away as soon as she had
fired her salute of 17 guns in honour of the departing mi-
nister, and had seen him on his way to the shore. But
when the boat approached the mouth of the river, it was
found with dismay that the stream, swollen by heavy
rains, was flowing with so rapid a current into the ocean
that the rowers could not make head against it, and after
struggling for four hours, and being joined by another boat
from the shore, which was unable to help them, the ex-
hausted crew gave up the contest, and were swept out to
sea. By great good fortune they were able to find a land •
ing place on the coast, and in the end reached Rabat in
safety by land.—Gibraltar Chronicle, Nov. 14:
TUE FEDERAL EN LISTME/i T CASE.—Ycsterdsy
