PERTIL—EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—BetIVeeiI Sunday
night and Monday morning, the shop of Messrs. J. and
A. M'Nab, watchmakers and jewellers, George-street,
was broken into, and valuable property to a very large
amount carried off. The premises were visited by one
of the Messrs. M'Nab about five o'clock on Sunday after-
noon, when all was found to be safe, and a dog that be-
longs to the shop was left inside, where it was on Mon-
day morning in the very apartment by which the robbers
had effected an entrance. The door of a cellar under
the shop had first been forced open, and several tools
taken out, which had afterwards been used in forcing
up the window by which an entrance was obtained to
the shop. Four panes of this window were dexterously
cut out, and a hole thus made which would easily admit
the body of a man. The shop has been almost com-
pletely plundered of the most valuable part of a large
awl extensive stock, consisting of gold and silver
watches, safety and watch chains, rings, bracelets, and
other articles of a similar description, and although it is
impossible at present to form a correct estimate of the
amount of goods taken, it is considered that it cannot be
under 4001. or 5001. Besides the Messrs. M'Nab's own
valuable stock, about 40 or 50 watches belonging to
customers have been stolen, and in every instance the
robbers had exercised the most remarkable skill and
knowledge in selecting and carrying off the most valu-
able and portable part of the stock. It is reported that
a noise was heard in the shop about 12 o'clock on Sun-
day night by persons residing above it, but strange to
say they gave no alarm, and the robbery was not dig-
cnvered till about eight o'clock on Mondoy morning.
The Messrs. M‘liab arehighly respected and Indus-
trious tradesmen, and meet with general sympathy under
their heavy lose.—Scotsman.
CHELSEA. BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The eleventh
anniversary of this society—which is one of the many
local charities which have bean of late years established
in the metropolis for the purpose of assisting tho poor
at their own homes—was celebrated on Tuesday evening
by a dinner at the Commercial Rooms in the King's-road.
The Rev. Dr. Wilson, the Rev. A. F. Pettigrew, and a
large number of the principal inhabitants of the locality
were pre sent. The chair was occupied by Dr. W.
V. Pettigrew, who explained that the object of the
society was, by means of the small contributions
which benevolent persons in the parish supplied, to
relieve that class of the suffering poor whom honest
pride would not permit to apply for relief at the work-
house. About eleven years ago a person was found
starved to death near that spot. Two or three of the
jurymen who sat on the inquest conceived the idea of
raising a subscription to assist those who could not or
would not get relief in the workhouse. The result was
this society. It had now existed eleven years, and dur-
ing that time nearly 6,000 individuals had been relieved
either by pecuniary aid, coals, or other articles of which
they stood most in need, and this had been done by
means of subscriptions raised from all classes, and
ranging from ono penny upwards, and with a tote]. in-
