An article in the Hamburgh Correspondenten
of the 27th ult. says—" Colonel You Sundt, an
Officer in the service of his Majesty the King of
Denmark, who has just made the tour of Ger-
many on foot, with a view to establish his health,
passed through this city, on his return to Copen-
hagen, a few days ago."
DISPATCII.—IIow astonishingly great is the
dispatch in travelling now-a-days. The Nem
York Gazette of the 15th ult. mentions, that a
gentlemen left that city on the 16th August for
Liverpool, and returned a day or two ago in the
James Cropper, having been absent only fifty-
seven days!
CURIOUS PAPERIMIINT.—A letter from Naples
states, that an attempt to direct an air-balloon,
by means of a couple of large tame eagles, bud
been successfully made in that city. The birds
had previously undergone the process of training
by two American gentlemen, who were the di-
rectors of the experiment.
FIRE IN ST. ANN'S WATCH...IIOMR, BLACK-
FRIARS.—About two o'clock this morning this
watch-house was discovered to be in flames by
some of the firemen of the Royal Exchange, who
were on duty in the vicinity guarding the ruins of
the premises of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co.—
Raspberry, °Deaf the firemen, procured the keys,
and rushing in, found the fire to proceed from a
quantity of furniture and goods, which were de-
posited there on the previous night for safety.
With considerable exertion and difficulty, after
deluging the place with water, the flames were
completely subdued, having destroyed the lock-
up rooms and some trilling articles of furniture.
SUICIDE.—Yesterday evening an inquest was
held at the Belle Sauvage Inn, Ludgate-hill, on the body of
Mr. W. T. Lloyd, the particulars of whose death were men-
; tioned in our paper of yesterday. The waiter at the inn, and
several other persons, said they had observed the deceased was
' very melancholy and low spirited (luring the time he resided
there, and that he appeared to them not in a right state of
mind. The jury, after hearing evidence to the above effect' re-
turned a verdict of--" Insanity." The deceased was formerly
a schoolmaster at Reading.
DARING ROBBERY.—Henry Jones, a well-
known character, was this day brought up to
Bow-street Office, charged with attempting to
pick the pocket of a gentleman in the Strand,
under circumstances of a particularly daring na-
ture. The prisoner is well known as the asso-
ciate of a daring gang, who, notwithstanding the
effective Police on the different stations in town,
yet carry on their depredations. The gentleman,
it appeared, had stopped to inspect some plates
at a house in the Strand, when he became the ob-
ject of attention on the part of the gang, one of
whom, aided by his associates as a species of
cover, went up and deliberately possessed him-
self of a valuable silk handkerchief and a snuff-
box, which be contrived, though seen in the act,
to pass away. The rest of the gang eflected
their escape. The prisoner was committed.
