THE RERTORATION OF CHARLES I
a tradition in Scotland, that a dram of brandy proiluced the
restoration of Charles 11. The meseenger from the Parliament
of England had brought letters to Monk whilst he remained at
Edinburgh. The messenger was also intrusted with dispatches
to the Governor of Edinburgh Castle--a circumstance which Ira
mentioned to one of Monk's servants, while on him journey.
The man (a see cant) saw tonnething unusual in this, and pre-
vailed upon his fellow-traveller to drink a dram of trendy witit
him at a neighbouring public-house, where the messenger
became ultimately so drunk, that the sergeant was enabled
to take the papers from his custody without detection. .This
done, he posted to his General with the packet, who, on phres-
ing its contents, found an order for his arrest and detentiott
the Castle. Policy and resentment at once directed the eyes of
• Monk to Cherie* Stuart, and his restoration succeeded. " What
great events from trifling causes spring !"
SERIOUS A CCIDENT. -- A bout ha Wpast flYtt
o'clock yesterday afternoon a dreadful necithmt occurred in
the New-road leading from the Obelisk at the Elephant
and Castle to the Iron Bridge. The corner house of, Met-
ton-terrace, Borough-road, 'fell down with a dreadfill' crash,
and six of the workmen employed about the premises were
buried beneath the ruins. One eel them, a curpentlT, of
the name of Parker, (a single num), although every Means to
restore animation lvy the exertions of Mr.COuldired, a Surgesm.,
were immediately adopted, the 'Turk of life was extinct.—
Another man, who was dragged out insensible, after being-
bled, was taken home in a must dangerous state. The other
four fortunately escaped unhurt.
iittli,GLAltT AT ILA oeuvre...—On l'uesday
morning, one of the moat daring burglaries that has been beard
of in this neighbourhood for some time past, was committed In
the house or Mr. Allen, of Radclifit, near this town. Mr.
Allen'e family consists of himself, his wife, a son, aged Minot
23, and two daughters. About half-past one o'clock on 'l'ure-
day morning, the Misses Allen awoke, and found three strane
men standing at the foot of their bed, with lights in their hand,.
As Might be expected, the young ladies immediately •began to
cry out for assistance, and their cries awoke their brother, itlr.
James Allen, who got up, and went to see what WAS the muter-
On leaving hie bed-room, he found a man on the staircase,
whom he immediately collared, and eventuelly knocked down
the stairs. On hearing the struggle, two of the men came from
Misses Allen's room, and one of them struck Mi. James Allen
on the head with a fire-shovel, which they had taken'll-otit
the kitchen, and cut him very severely ; notwithstendieg
which, he made his way to his sisters' room. Mr. Allen, see,.,
who is near 70 years of age, hearing the noise occiudonedhythe
ecuffle, came to his room door, when one of the vfflaine
struck hirn on the head with the shovel, which fortunately struck
against the wall, so that the force of the blow was in 'some de-
gree broken, or it would probably have proved fatal Ai it wert,
Mr. Allen's head was severely cut, ant the handle ofthe shovel
was completely bent. When. Mr. James Allen arrived in plat
sisters' room, lie found that all the drawers had been ranseek-
ed, and the contents turned out upon the floor, The men
demanded Miss Allen's money; and a purse containing two
or three trainees was given to them ; but at the request of
'Miss Allen they returned the purse, after taking out KIM Cojn-
tents. They did not offer any personal incivilit;es to the %Tung
ladies. After thoroughly searching the room, they shot Air. it.
Allen and his sisters in it, end, one of the gong held tie 14)4,
whilst the rest proceeded to search the other bettatamis. They
repeatedly threatened Mr. Allen with death Jibe clict not
clove the place where his money was ouceceuled, but he` rura.sk-tt
to give them any infermation. From arse of the draw Vl': in iiis
room they took a pocket-book, containing a flank note fry's}/.',another for 101., and sovereigns, all Which fortunately cecapea
th eir notice, and they then threw the book down on the floor, where
it wee found with its contents untouched when they were gone.--
After they had remained sonic time in the house, a sfone was
thrown through Mr. Allen'i bed-room window. by soma per.
son outside, on which they made a precipitate retreat, carrying
with them what booty they had collected, consi3ting of saver
plate, wearing apparel, stogie trifling articles in jewellery 'Mal
seven or eight pounds in money; when r. James Allen fol-
lowed them down stairs, and New i M
three °f awn, :leap out at,tho
window, by which it appeared they had entered the prernisee.
Time 4th was about to make his retreat the same way,' when
Mr. Allen, with a view to ohtein a better sight of • his poem,
offered to let him out at the door. The men accepted the
osier, and the doer was opened for hint. Tile robbers went over
tins fields, in the direction of fiery, and were lidlowed tier a
short distance by Mr. ,lames Allen, who endeavoured to aletrm
the inmates of a cottage and to procure their assisemee ; bee
not succeeding in this, he thought it prudent to morn /Watt..
A considerable part of the wearing apparel was fiend neat
morning in the fields through which the robbers had passed.
It is supposed that they were six in number, Dui; of whont tit-
tered tile house, rued two were left at the totis4le ; and that ti

in a very lonely situation, nt some distance from any other....
We believe that none of the offenders are yet in enstody,
