DLIELIN, MARCH 22.—The Duke and Duchess
of Leinster arrived at their agent's House, in Dominick-
staset on Patrick's night, to attend the Castle Ball, about
six o'clock. The coach trunks were taken to the bed-room,
on the drawing-room floor, and the jewel box was also left on
the table near the staircase, and before seven o'clock the box
was stolen out of the small leather case. The only persons in
the house were four servants. At present there are no sus-
picions against any person. The garden-door to the stable was
unlockezi, but up to the present moment not the slightest clue
has been got at concerning this robbery.
SMALL DEBT COURT.-It may not be generally
known to our readers, that in Scotland a husband is not liable
for ready money borrowed by his wife, unless by his special
;permission. A case of the same kind was tried in the Justice
sof Peace Court yestorday, and the defender assoilzied.
Mr. George Robins, it would seem, does not confine
his', professional exertions .to the united kingdoms, nor to Ame-
rica. where alone he has sold more than one million acres of
land; for an announcement this evening brings his descriptive
issowres into request in panegerising one of the most favoured
estates in Tuscany. His persuasive statement will cause many
of slur English invalids to wish they had passed this severe win-
ter lel Tuscany. Roses in full bloom, in the open air, during
the lat,l severe season, would be an agreeable surprise to an
English ve3ident.

racter," Mr. Miller's new historical romance, " Royston
Gower ; or, the Days of King John," and " Love," a novel,
Its), Lady Charlotte Bury.
PENNY POSTS.—We (the Pilot ) have often
brought under the notice of the Post-office a grievance under
vibich the community labour by the Penny Posts being shut
for le length of time previous to the despatching of the mails.
The Iligh-street Penny Post (within five minutes' walk of the
General Post-offices actually shuts at half-past one for the
North Mail, which does not leave the Post-office until four
o'clock. These Penny Posts were surely intended to give the
Utmost accommodation to the
public, particularly to mercan-
noi the case at present. It is
tile men. This is certainly
really surprising how this has beei: suffered to exist so long,
and can only be accounted for—like n: any other things—that
'what is everybody's business is nobody's. We hope this hint
will not be lost upon Sir E. Lees.
