ROBBERY OF £420 IN GOLD AND SILVER AT THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY STATION, KING'S CROSS. It ap-
pears that on Friday-last the above sum was deposited
in the cashier's office for the purpose of paying the ser-
vants of that establishment, who receive their money
every fortnight ; but when the time arrived to commence
paying, the clerk so employed discovered that the whole
of the above sum had been abstracted from the iron safe.
Information was immediately given to the police, but at
present no clue has been found to the perpetratorsf of
this mysterious robbery.
POSTAGE IN INDIA.—The inhabitants of India will
probably ere long be placed in a position nearliresem-
bling that of the people of the United Kingdom in re-
gard to internal postage. A commission was some time
ago appointed to inquire into the various questions in-
volved in the subject, and especially one in regard to
which the greatest measure of popular interest is mani-
fested. Hitherto the system has been in India much like
that formerly prevailing in this country- and in most
others. It is understood to be proposed that in future
letters shall be charged according to weight only, with-
out regard to distance, the minimum charge beinge haan anna, or the thirty-second pal tof a rupee. Th

A NEW TELEGRAPH.—It has been announced that a
new line of telegraph between Liverpool, Manchester,
Birmingham, and London is about to be laid down, and
will be opened in the course of a few months. It has
been planned by a Liverliool association (the English
and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company), by whom a
charter with limited liability has been obtained, and
whose capital is ;;06,000/., with power of increase to
600,0001. The line will consist of ten underground
wires, and is to be worked by Henley's patent.
JEROME BONAPARTE AT BOULOGNE.—OH Wednesday
last Jerome Bonaparte (the ex-King of Westphalia)
made his appearance at Boulogne, with the beautiful
Marchese Bartolini (a Florentine widow of high rank,
to whom it is said he is privately married). On Thurs-
day morning he visited the Column, and stayed some
time regarding the ground where his brother's troops
were formerly encamped when he projected his invasion
of England with his flat-bottomed boats. On Friday
and Satuaday he was much on the pier, besides driving
in all directions • but yesterday morning (Sunday) he
departed suddenly to Paris, being recalled there by a
telegraphic dispatch.
RUSSIAN CATTLE MARKET.—From official returns just
published by the Russian Minister of the Interior, the
total value of the cattle sold in the market at St. Peters-
burg from 1842 to 1851 amounted to 36,764,451 silver
roubles (about 187,057,802 f.). The average price of
butchers' meat during the above 10 years was--lei'
quality, 7 7-10 copeks (38c.) the pound ; 2d quality,
6 7-10 cop. (38c.) ; and 3d quality, 5 1-10 cop. (25c._3'

).
The price of the Ist and 3d qualities remained nearly
same during the whple time ; the second qusilvY
declined about 2 per cent. from 1842 to 1846. oa
