Madame Lebaron, a lace-manufacturer at Caen, but
who has a depot in Paris, in the Rue Thevenot, was
robbed two days ago of lace to the value of 11,000 f. by
a man whom she had taken into her service imprudently
to carry her pattern-boxes when she went round to-her
customers. It appears that her servant being ill, she
hired a man who sold matches about the streets to fill
his place, and this man for some days served her faith-
fully, but suddenly disappeared, and another match-
vendor offered his services, stating that the former had
been arrested for some irregularity. Madame Lebaron
engaged him, but on the very first day he absconded
with the stuck which he was carrying, whilst his mis-
tress was in a shop in the Rue Saint Denis. The police

We are glad to see, from our report of what
occurred yesterday in the Bail Court, that Mr.
TRAVIS, the farmer who was committed to pri-
son by some country gentlemen for felony, be-
cause he resisted a Mr. ENTWISTLE in trespass-
ing on his grounds to hunt, and stuck his pitch-
fork into Mr. ENTWISTLE'S horse in the scuffle,
has obtained a certiorari to move the cause into
the Court of Queen's Bench, and a rule, calling
on the other parties to show cause why he
should not be admitted to bail. Mr. Justice
PATTESON immediately assented to the motion,
and we shall now have all the particulars of this
case made public. We will not say a single
word about it till it has been investigated in a
Court of Law, further than to remark that the
case is an illustration of the manners of those who
deem themselves born to ride over the people in
the pursuit of their game.

have arrested the two match-venders, and also a man
and woman who are suspected of being their accomplices
but none of the property has been recovered.
About a month ago, two thieves, named Wolff and
Dupleix, who were being conveyed to prison in a cellu-
lar van, made their escape, the door having by error
been left unlocked, and every attempt by the police to
discover their retreat was vain. A few days ago, how-
ever, a notorious thief, having been taken, told the com-
missary of police before whom he was conveyed that it
he would regale him with a good dinner he would put
him in the way of making a famous capture. The
commissary, although he did not place much confi-
dence in his word, treated him with the dinner, and
immediately afterward the thief took some gendarmes
to a house in the Rue Rochechourt, where seven men
and two women were found, whilst dividing the spoil
resulting from several thefts which they had recently
committed. Amongst them were Wolff and Dupleix,
but Wolf contrived again to make his escape, and was
recaptured on Friday last.
The National, in an article on the Hospice of Salpe-
triere (for aged and lunatic females), says :—" The in-
curable lunatics have lately had given to them for their
physician M. Trelat, a man mild and persevering, who,
taking his unhappy patients in commiseration, and wish-
ing-to afford them all the diversion of which they are
capable, conceived the idea of snaking them sing. This
having succeded, he is now teaching them to read. This
is done by two persons, who have undertaken this diffi-
cult, and in many instances painful, task gratuitously.
The poor patients have become much attached to their
teachers, and arc pleased with their lessons. They hasten
to their classes as soon as their friends appear ; and
those who have not yet been admitted, have no other de-
sire than to be so. Some already begin to read fluently,
and some ore able to make out the music given them to
learn. The music is taught them by a colleague of M.
Wilhelm, and the reading by M. Teste, a brother of the
Minister. They are also taught to work with the
needle. Their work is excellent, and done much quicker
than by ordinary hands, but purchasers are wanting."
The Sentinelle des Pyrennees of the 9th instant says :
"On Tuesday last a Spanish boat, having on board a
person who is supposed to be an emigrant general, was
on its way from the coast of Biscay to Socoa, and had
arrived off Saint Sebastian, when it was perceived by a
trincadour, which pursued it to within a distance of the
coast over which French jurisdiction extends. Arrived
there, a combat it is said took place. A small French
vessel, kept on the coast for the mail service, fired upon
the trineadour of Saint Sebastian, and compelled it to
abandon its prey, and to respect French limits." The
same journal adds—" A battalion of the 38th Regiment
of the Line left yesterday fur the extreme frontier of
Spain. The staff goes to Saint Jean de Luz, and several
companies will be cantoned at Hendaye, Behobie, and
other places. Night and day merchandise is being
packed at Bayonne to send to Spain, previous to the ear-
, rying into execution the customs law, er rather the tariff
established by the Government of Espartero."
A person going two evenings ego into the Theatre de
Ix Gaite, exhibited while prying for his place a well-
furnished purse. This attracted the notice of a pro-
' fessed pickpocket, named Dellechamps, who contrived to
obtain a seat in the pit next to the owner of the treasure.
While the attention of his intended victim was deeply
engrossed by a scene on the stage, our adventurer
thought he could secure his coveted prize. Unfortunately
for himself, from the denseness of the audience, Delle-
champs made a slight mistake, and putting hiS hand into
the pocket of a Municipal Guard who was next to the
purse-holder, grasped instead of the purse a pair of
scissors, the points of which reproved him so severely,
that forgetting his customary caution, he uttered an ex-
clamation. This attracted the notice of the soldier, who
at once seized the unlucky. Dellechamps by the collar,
and conducted him to a neighbouring guard-house.
The Conslitutionnel states that a letter has been re-
ceived from St. Laurent de Cerdans, announcing that
the soldiers of the Spanish post of la Mouga had pur-
sued two of their fellow-countrymen, and fired upon
them on the French territory. The Spanish soldiers
did not return to their post until a company of the 25th
French Light Infantry came up.
The price of bread for the remainder of the month is
fixed at 35c. the kilogramme.
The Aini de la Religion states that Father Jean Bap-
tiste de Frascati, the Carmelite monk, who built the
convent on Mount Carmel, in Palestine, has returned
from that place to France, and is now in Paris
collectieg subscriptions for making some additional walls
of defence for that establishment.
The Siccle states that the Bishop of Beauvais, who
had been seriously ill for some days, died the day before
yesterday, aged 73.
Extract of a letter from Algiers of the 3d inst., given
by the Toulonnais :—" During the last three days the
six months' drought has been followed by such a de-
luge of rain, that the lower town, et. modern Algiers, has
been converted into a lake. The streets, become rivers,
are no longer passable, and the arcades are a benefit
which all experience ; for otherwise the liquid mud,
thrown in all directions by the carts and cattle passing
along, would cover all the pedestrians. The works at
the gates are stopped, and all passage through them
would be impracticable, were not men kept constantly
employed in removing the encumbrances brought dawn
by the torrents. Several of the terraces have been
crushed by the weight of the water. The hospital of
the Saltpetriere has narrowly escaped being inundated
with all its patients. A conduit, which carries into the
sea the waters from the Dey and the mountain being in-
sufficient to disgorge a quantity so great, the current, di-
verged from its course, broke into the wards by the
doors and windows, and had risen in them to the height
of three feet invading the beds, before it was possible to
make a passage out for it.
Last week a well-dressed man accosted the portress of
a house in the Rue du 29 Juillet, and, in the broken ac-
cent of an Englishman speaking French imperfectly, In-
quired his way to the Hotel de la Madeleine: Whilst he
was speaking, another person came up and asked the
Fortress what the gentleman wanted. The portress told
him, and the pretended Englishman offered this man a
Napoleon if he would show him the way. At first
he refused, but at length consented, generously offer-
ing, however, to give the portress half the. gratuity] if she
would accompany thetn to receive it. Tempted by the
prospect of earning ten francs so easily, toe portress
consented, and they set off together. On arriving at
the Rue Tronchet., the pretended Englishman expressed
a wish to enter a house of doubtful reputation, which
was pointed out to him by his male guide, who observed
that he would do well to confide the bulk of the money
which he had about his person to the portress, who
would wait at the door. The advice being followed, a
purse was put into a handkerchief and placed in the
hands of the portress, but, as a guarantee for the safety
of the deposit, she was asked to plate her watch in the
hands of the man who was to share with her the
promised Napoleon. The portress, judging by the weight
of the purse that there was gold enough to purchase half
a dozen such watches as hers, which, however, was of
gold, with a gold chain, did as was requested, and took
up her station at the door. After waiting nearly an
hour, she became uneasy, and opening the purse, found
that it contained only bits of lead. The thieves had, in
the meantime, made their escape by 'another door. In-
formation having been given to the police, the men were
soon afterwards apprehended, and recognised as two no-
torious thieves. They hare just been tried; and sen-
tenced, one to seven years' imprisonment, and the other
to five.

The suggestion of a Correspondent to pull
down the Tower, as an insult to the City of
London, which it was built to keep in subjection,
and convert its site into a dock for steamers, into
which they might enter and depart at all times of
the tide, and around which commodious wharves
might be built, one side being used to land pas-
sengers, and another to embark them, is, we
think, well worthy of public attention; but we
are afraid that a respect for antiquity will pre-
vail over a love for the happiness of the present
generation, and such a useful project will have
no chance of being carried into effect.

A letter from Pampeluna of the 10th in•
stant states that General RODIL had or•

dered all the fortresses in the Basque pro-
vinces to be demolished, as a protection for
the people, who are apprehensive of a French
invasion; a strong military force is to be stationed
in the different provinces. In Navarre an army

of twenty battalions of 1,000 men each, 1,000
horses, and four batteries of artillery, is to oc-
cupy without delay the extent of territory
which lies brtween Vera, on the borders of
Guipuscoa, and Arragon, along the French fron-
tier ; and from Pampeluna and Estella to Tu-
dela, on the Ebro. Eighteen battalions, with
a corresponding force of artillery and cavalry,
will retain possession of the Basque provinces.
The two branches of this force are to be called
the right and left wings of the'Army of the North,
the whole of which will be under the command
of RODIL, whilst the divisions are to be under
the immediate orders of AYERBE for Navarre,
and ALCALA, promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-
General, for the Basque provinces. All the of-
ficers of the insurgent battalions have likewise
been dismissed.

The following affecting incident is from a letter
from Pampeluna, dated the 10th inst.:-•
A melancholy scene took place here on Saturday even-
ing last, the day before the Regent left Pampeluna for
Saragossa. This was the interview between Espartero
and the mother of the unfortunate Fulgosio, who had
been condemned to death by the Military Commission of
Madrid. The unhappy lady, who is considerably ad-
vanced in years, set out for Pampeluna the moment
when it became evident that there was no chance
of safety for her son, and travelled by post, night
and day, until she arrived here. The moment she
alighted from her carriage she proceeded to the apartment
of the Regent, who, though somewhat indisposed, was
then engaged with some of the members of the munici-
pality of Pampeluna. Here she was attempted to be
stopped by the Aide-de-Camp in waiting, who informed
her that the Duke was then busy, and that she should
be adruitbat when her turn came. Knowing that every
moment was of value, the distracted woman threw him
aside and rushed shrieking into the room ; she could
only fling herself at the feet of Espartero, and cry
Mi Hijo Mi Hijo I" He tried to induce her to
retire, but she clung to him with all the tenacity of
despair, and held him grasped in her arms with a
strength far beyond her strength or years. He in-
formed her that it was out of his power to prevent
the law from taking effect, and endeavoured again to
disengage himself from her grasp. When she heard no
words of hope or comfort her force gave way, and losing
all sensation she fell motionless to the ground, and was
conveyed out of the apartment by the attendants. There
were young and thoughtless Aides-dc-Camp loitering
about ; there were aged men, and men of business, who
had passed through a long life of reverses, and in whose
hearts there did not linger much softness ; there were
rough soldiers long accustomed to scenes of horror ; but
amongst them all there was not, I am sure, one from
whose eyes the tears did not come, though they scarcely
knew it, freely like those of an infant.
When the news of the acquittal of M'LEOD
arrrived in Madrid on the Bth inst., an eye-wit-
ness writes that it elicited the following general
remark :—" We shall hear no more of troubles
on the frontier, or intrigues on the coast. Eng-
land's hands are free to help us, and France will
let us alone !"

The interior of Spain presents some danger to
travellers. Two chainfuls of presidarios (con-
victed felons) have lately escaped, and are now
exercising their old vocation of robbers. The
diligence was stopped last Tuesday night on the
Samosierra road, and all the passengers plundered
and stripped even to their shirts. Amongst them
were four English ladies, who were also left
_ _

nearly naked on the road, but the eighteen pre-
sidarios who were plundering the party became
alarmed and took to flight, happily without at-
tempting personal violence.

The French Ministerial Journals of Monday
announce that two armies are to be concentrated
on the Spanish frontier; the one consisting of
23,000 men, to have their head-quarters at Per-
pignan, and the other, of 26,000 men, at
Bayonne. These armies are to compose a sort of
cordon sanitaire, to shut out the contagion of
Spanish ideas, and, if possible, to get into some
squabble with the Basque authorities, so
as to justify an invasion of Spain, for the
purpose of upsetting the Spanish Constitution,
and disposing of the hand of the young QUEEN.
LOUIS PHILIPPE adheres to his first policy,
notwithstanding the recent triumph of ESPAR•.I
TERO and the utter discomfiture of the partisans
of Madame MuNoz. But as all is not sunshine
in France, a force of 12,000 troops of the line
has been ordered to Toulouse to keep down the
discontented in that quarter. The Presse,
Government Journal, r.tinnits the intention of an
interference of the Continental Powers in the
affairs of Spain, without the concurrence of Eng-
land. This Journal says :
" France has seen the Whigs destroy the policy and
the ministry of those persons supported by her on the
other side of the Pyrenees. At present no one thinks of
reviving the chimera of the Quadruple Alliance, and for
that reason it will be perfectly easy for France
to effect an arrangement with the other, European
nations respecting Spanish affairs. In this question
interest is conformable to theirs. The same motives
which separate us from Great Britain will ever prevent
the Cabinets of the Continent from joining her. In a
word, we are convinced that the Spanish question offers
us au excellent ground for taking full satisfaction for
the state of isolation in which the British policy placed
us in July, 1840."

We can tell the Presse that Englana will not
permit the Powers that were the last to recog-
nize the Government of Spain either to modify
her institutions, or to dispose of the hand of her
SOVEREIGN. Spain has a Government of her
own choice, which, during its brief career,
has manifested a degree of wisdom, modera-
tion, and firmness, which France failed to
purchase by the Revolution of July. We will
have no bastard imitation of a Holy Alliance for
robbing Spain of those liberties which -I
chased by seven years of
