INGENIOUS CHAPEL ROBBERIES.--A man, who
may visit other counties, has within the last few
days been perpetrating a series of petty thefts in Dissent-
ing chapels in Essex. He applied for the keys of the Inde-
pendent chapel in Baddow-lane, Chelmsford, under the
pretence that he came to inspect the gas meter, and, they
being incautiously given to him it was afterwards found
that he had carried off the Bible from the reading desk, and
broken open the place where the wine was kept, as well as
that where he seems to have supposed the plate would be
found, but in the latter he was disappointed. He also
visited the Fi iends' meeting-house, but was baulked in his
object. On another day he was in Romford, and called on
the Rev. E. Sweet, pastor of the Independent chapel, with
the same pretence as to the gas, representing that he came
from the Central Gas Company, and wished to inspect the
meters. He thus obtained the keys both of the chapel and
schoolroom, and after remaining about half an hour re-
turned them to Mr. Sweet. On that gentleman going to
the chapel in the evening ho found the poor boxes broken
open and the contents of them taken away. Several mis-
sionary boxes in the schoolroom were also emptied. The
same person went to the Wesleyan Methodist and the
Baptist chapels, but the keepers accompanying him with
the keys he was defeated in his object. He is described as
five feet six or seven inches high, dark complexion, large
whiskers, rather stoutly built. He was dressed in a dark
frock coat, dark trousers and vest, and black hat. He had
a pen behind his ear, an ink bottle attached to a ribbon on
his breast, and carried a book in ono hand and a hammer
and screw-driver in the other.

Agency, announced that General de Mantobello
had arrived at Rome from France. The very con-
trary was the fact, as the General had landed at
Marseilles from Rome on his way to Paris.
General Fleury, first equerry to the Emperor, has
arrived in Paris from the baths of Mont-Dore (Puy-
de-Dome).
