DARING BURGLARY AND OUTRAGE IN
Muiv UTHSHIRE.

HEREFORD, TUESDAY.—SOmO sensation has been
created here by the apprehension and examination
of three men, before the Hereford magistrates on
the charge of being concerned in a most daring
burglary at Llanover, in the adjoining county of
Monmouth, a few nights ago. The names of the
accused are Thomas Murphy, John O'Brien alias
Arnold and Dennis Higgins. They are charged with
having entered Llansabbeth Farm, Llanover, and
stolen 201., two pistols, a gold watch, and other
articles, the property of Mr. George Window;
and also with having assaulted the Rev. John
Evans. and beat him with the butt of a pistol.
The offence was committed under circumstances of great
daring. It appears that in the absence of Mr. and Mrs.
Window from home, the farm was entered between 6 and
7 o'clock in the evening by six men, five of whom were
armed with bludgeons, and the sixth with a pistol. All
had their faces partly concealed by crape or handker-
chiefs. On the men entering the house, a niece of Mr.
Window, who had been left in charge of the premises, suc-
ceeded in effecting her escape and reaching the vicarage.
She informed the Rev. Mr. Evans that thieves had en-
tered her uncle's premises, and the reverend gentle-
man imemediately repaired alone to the farm, where
he found that the male and female servants of
the establishment had all been made prisoner!,
and placed in the corner of the kitchen, with their
faces to the wall. The robbers immediately seized the
reverend gentleman and compelled him to keep company
with the servants. Soon after Mr. Prince, a neigh-
bouring miller, passing by, looked in, and he too
was captured and placed with the other prisoners.
In the meantime the cry of " thieves" had been
raised in the village, and three men—a farm ser-
vant, an under-gardener of Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P.,
and the village harper—proceeded to the farm, when
they too were captured and compelled to stand in et
corner of the -kitchen with their laces to the wall.
Having ransacked the house. the robbers made off with
their booty, amounting to 201. in gold and silver, and
the gold watch and pistols already mentioned. `The
Government having t ffered 501. in addition to the
reward offered by Mr. Window, for the apprehen,loa
of the robbers, the country was scoured without effect,
until Superintendent Payne, of the Herefordshire police,
apprehended the prisoner Murphy on a charge of
passing counterfeit coin, when he found upon him e
couple of pistols, which have since been identified as
those stolen from Mr. Window. Three other com-
panions of the prisoner were followed, and as they
entered Hereford, the police seized one of them
(O'Brien), who immediately drew a loaded pistol, threat-
ening to shoot the officers if they did not stand beck.
The policemen, Bennett and Hawkins, of the Hereford
police, seized his arm, and in the scuffle the trigger wiie
pulled and the cap exploded, but luckly did not ignite
the charge. The pistol was loaded with powder and bal!.
Higgins was subsequently apprehended at a Wert? to
Hereford. A second loaded pistol was found on O'Brien.
The prisoner O'Brien has since made a confession. Lie
admits his participation in the burglary, and states that
for the last six or seven years he has been living by. al!
same species of plunder. He says five others assistea
him, and that the other prisoners were part of the gang.
On the day after the robbery, Murphy gave him
(O'Brien) 51. 10s. as his share of the booty. Evidence
having been taken of the capture of the prisoners, they
were remanded.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.--STROMNES,g Nov. GP"'
The Isabel, Captain Inglefield, R.N., has 'Put in here
from the Arctic regions. Captain Inglefield reporo
that he proceeded up Jones' Sound, as far as lat. 83
N., and saw open water to the northward, and the
land tending to the N.N. He also entered Smith Sound,
and reached lat. 78 23 21 N., and found the Great Polar
Basin, extending through seven points of the compass,
with a vast sea cumbered with loose ice, but was blown
out of the Sound with a gale from the northward that
lasted 36 hours. Whale Sound was also examined, and
found tolerably open. In short, Captain Inglefield has
reached within 11i degrees of the North Pole, 100,
miles further north than any former navigator in Baffin
Bay. No trace whatever was found of the missing
pedition. Captain Inglefield communicated with Sir
Belcher's expedition.
ALBERT PARK.—A. large meeting of the inhabi"
tants of Finsbury was held on Wednesday at Highbury Barn
Tavern, to consider what measures should be adopted to urge
upon the Government the necessity of securing the ground'
already surveyed, for the Royal Park for Finsbury. The
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, M.P., in opening the pl'o-
ceedings, expressed his pleasure at being called on to preside
over a meeting so important in connexion with the interests of
the borough. A resolution moved by Mr. Woodward, and se',
conded by Mr. Alexander, affirmed that a park for the borough
of Finsbury, to be provided at the public expense, was neces-
sary for the comfort and health of the inhabitants, and that
the land which had been surveyed was suitable for the pur-
pose, and expressed the regret of the meeting at the delay
which had taken place in carrying out the plan. A me"
m9rial founded on this resolution was agreed to, and a coin'
mittee appointed to submit it to the Government. A vote
of thanks was passed to Mr. Lloyd and to the Right HO'
Chairman, and the meeting then separated.
