PETITION FROM BIRMINGHAM IN FAVOUR
OF FROST AND NIS COMP A NIONS.—A petition to the Queen
in favour of Frost and his companions was brought to London
to-day by a deputation from the above important place. In
the course of six days upwards of 30,000 signatures had been
obtained. Miny respectable persons, who usually object to
sign any petition on political business, signed with avidity.
There is not such an instance on record of a petition from this
place having obtained so many signatures in so short a time,
and the fact can only be explained by the increasing aversion
to the punishment of death. The petition was presented to the
Marquis of Normanby to be forwarded to the Queen by the
new Member for Birmingham, G. F. Muntz, Esq., accom-
panied by Mr. Warburton, who was entrusted with the pre-
sentation of the Memorial' from the Members of the House of
Commons.

APPREHENSION OF THE VILLAIN.—Were'
joke to learn that the cold-blooded highway robber has It
length fallen into the hands of justice. He was arrested on
Wednesday at Bristol, and is now in safe custody. The clothes
he is supposed to have worn on the night of the robbery hoe
been found at the pawnbroker's where he had pledged them and
provided himself with fresh habiliments. The young women
at. the public-house at Coombe Hill, who supplied him with the
glass of gin he drank before starting to walk to Cheltenhalt
with Mr. Yarworth, has positively identified him ; and thong
the wounded man, who, we regret to say, remains in a very
dangerous state, was not in a condition to see the robber to
Wednesday, it is hoped he will rally sufficiently to-day to ad-
mit of his being introduced into his chamber for the purposes of,
recognition. Worcestershire Chronicle.
We (the Worcestershire Chronicle) learn that
forty special constables for each ward of the city are to be sworll
in forthwith, whether in compliance with a mandate from tho
Home Office, or from the misgivings of the authorities we can-
not inform our readers. Neither can we tell them for what
purpose these precautions arc taken, whether on account of the
anticipated execution of the Chartists at Monmouth, or to keep
the peace on occasion of the Queen's marriage, we know not.
To our thinking, there is just as likely to be a disturbance on
account of the one event, as the other. If the latter be the
cause of their appointment, it is paying a very ill compliment
to her Majesty's Loring subjects, we are sure.
