AN INGENIOUS AND DARING

ROBBER.

On Friday we gave a paragraph from the Gazelle of
la Chapelle, which stated that the dead body of Z tun, the
notorious robber of Cologne, surnamed the Cartouche of
Cologne, had been found in a sack, and that it was sup-
posed he had been murdered. The journal de la llayc
contains the following particulars respecting this daring and
adroit robber :—The town of Cologne and its environs were
fur some years subjected to the depredations of Henri
Zaun, who has always contrived to evade the researches of
the police. Henri Zaun was a tailor ; he is a man of small
stature, and there is no indication abaut him of that auda-
city and vigour of which he has given so many proofs.
In 1830 Zaun was condemned to hard labour iv the
Court of Assize of Cologne for a robbery ; but he con-
trived to escape from prison the same night, and for se-
veral months he got a living by swindling and robbery.
He was, however, again taken, and this time he was
sentenced to hard labour for life ; and to prevent his
escape, his hands were confined by a bar of iron rivetted
to two hatylcuffs. He soon got rid of the handcuffs,
and the bar of iron became an instrument of deliver-
ance. He. forced the bars of the windows, got to the roof,
reached the chapel of the prison, and by means of some
netting, which had been hung up to dry, he descended to
the street. He was still in his prison dress, but he went
on to the next village, broke open the door bf the Pres-
bytery, and took some clothes belonging to the priest, and
also a sum of money which he found in the wardrobe,
leaving his prison clothes in exchange. From thence he
went to Dusseldorf, where he committed a great many rob-
beries, and the town being almost too hot to hold him, he
resolved to go to Holland ; and with a view to greater se-
curity in travelling, he had taken his measures to steal the
passport of an Englishman who resembled him, but before
he could carry this idea into effect, he was recognised and
at rested. •

When again transferred to the prison of Cologne be was.
cluibed in a peculiar dress, half grey , and half yellow, hea-
vily ironed, and a bell attached to an iron collar in such a
way that it rang at every movement. Evasion seemed im-
possible ; but; nevertheless, he managed,to escape, having
found means to file his irons, and descended by a wall.
Once more free, he re-commenced his operations even in
Cologne. In vain the police set in motion all their efforts ;
Zaun, with a fresh disguise every day, at one time a Priest,
then as a workman, and afterwards as a woman, eluded
their pursuits. One day he wrote to the Procurcur du
Roi, telling him that he should have the ho .our of pre-
senting himself at his house to commit a robbery. This
set all the police agents in motion ; and Zaun, knowing
that they would all be busy elsewhere, on the same
evening went to the house of the Chaplain of the prison,
and, after robbing the house, left a note thanking him for
having confessed him while in prison. Upon another
occasion, Zaun went to a restaurateur's, placed him-
self at the same table with the President of the Court of
Appeal, got into conversation w►th him, and on retiring
gave a polite bow, which Was graciousl rctuined by the
President, and left under his cover a card, on which Henri
Zaun was written. In short, we should have to relate a
thousand adventures if we mentioned. all his exploits at Co-
logne. He was subsequently arrested a fourth time, placed
in a narrow cell, his hands and feet chained, and confined
by an iron ring, attached to the wall, placed round his
waist. Nevertheless, he escaped for the fourth time ; but.
it would seem, by the account given by the Gazette (/
Aix-la-Chapelle, that his career is now at an e►►d, unless ►t
should turn out that the placing the dead body there, with
papers, to make it be believed that it was his body, was his
latest ingenious device to deceive the police.

Monday, no fewer than sixty .German or Italian
broom girls landed at Dover, from Ostend.
A shoal of porpoises, nearly half a mile in extent,
was seen to pass our harbour on Tuesday afternoon last, making
to the southward, whence the knowing ones prognosticated a
storm, a contrary direction in the course of these creatures, in
dicating fine weather. They were the largest we ever remem-
ber to have seen.— Whitehaven Herald.

--
The Cumberland mountains at mid. day yesterday
were so beautifully outlined that spectators at 5(-) miles distance
could distinguish every hnoll and ridge; brown and white
lent the same relief to Skiddaw, Saddleback, and Helvellyn
that light and shade do to a picture, and the effect was height-
ened by 'the contrast between summits frowningly bare, and
clefts into which snow had been swept to the depth perhaps
of a dozen or twenty feet. Of the fields and gardens WU
may well say in the words of Thomson__" How dead the ve-
getable kingdom lies, how dumb the tuneful." The pastures
were never barer, and where the outrie cattle have no resource
beyond their own powers of patient nibbling, it is difficult to
conceive how they subsist at all. As the moon happened to
be full on the 22d curt. ; when the sun crossed the line, there
were persons who dreaded a change of some sort, and the
event, we must say, has justified the prediction. —Dumfries
Courier.
