In accordance with the new regulations from the
Horse Guards the whole of the small arms (pattern
artillery rifled carbine) belonging to tile Royal Ar-
tillery, in the Chatham district, as well as the Ist
division of the Depot Brigade, amounting to up-
wards of 1,000 stand, have been inspected by one of
the Government officials from Enfield, under the
direction of Major-Gen. Eyre, commanding the dis-
trict. With but very few exceptions the arms exa-
mined were found to be in a state of excellent pre-
servation and efficiency. The whole of tne rifles in
possession of the troops of the line at Chatham have
also been submitted to an examination, under the
superintendence of the Government viewer sent
down for that purpose, in order that every one
which, on examination, was found to be unservice-

EXTRAORDINARY WAREHOUSE ROBBERY.-

A SAFE 810 LEN.

Daring Sunday evening the goods-warehouse
used by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company
and the London and North-Western Company, in
Vicar-lane, was entered by thieves and robbed of a
large iron safe, containing nearly £lOO, chiefly in
gold and silver, and a number of valuable papers.
The robbery was committed before eight o'clock, at
which hour the night watchman went on duty. He
did not go into the warehouse, and the robbery was
not discovered till a servant went to the counting-
house next morning. He observed that a wicket
in one of the large doors in the front of the ware-
house had been damaged, but supposing that a
wherry had been run against it, he did not ascertain
whether it would open. The counting-house has
a glass front at the bottom of the warehouse. The
doors had been broken open. The thieves first en-
tered the clerks' room, and there opened several
drawers and stole a few shillings. They next broke
°Pen the office of Mr. J. H. Croxall, the goods
nia,nar4er, and removed the safe from its place. The
safe
'weighed 3cwt., and(as appeared from the
traces of it at several
places) it was carried a dis-

Observer'

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway' s Pills—Cold and Damp.
—The variable temperatures of winter aro exceedingly
trying to robust frames, and every precaution is required
to preserve the feeble from positive disease. Holloway's
Pills cleanse the blood from all impurities which have en-
tered it, either from foul air or obstructed perspiration.
This is a grand point both in preventing and curing all
illnesses, and invaluable to a delicate constitution, because
the corruptive circulation which weakened and destroyed the
springs of life, thus purified by these Pills, must necessarily
support and invigorate them. In congestion of the lungs,
inflammation of the throat, coughs, colds, and hoarseness,
Holloway's Pills prove the best remedies for repressing all
argent symptoms, and the surest preventative of subse-
quent sufferings.
