ARIN ,GLARY AT HUTT
The parish of Hutton was on Friday the scene of
a most daring burglary effected about half past one,
Offin, A.M., in the residence of Mr. Abraham a highly
respectable maltster and farmer.
There is little doubt that one or more of the thieves
engaged (five in number), was well acquainted with
the premises. To effect an entry they removed
ladder from Hutton Hall, the residence of Mr. Gray,
which is about a quarter of a mile from Mr. Offifil;
house, and finding it inconveniently long for their
purpose, they procured a cross cut-saw from a
place in which it is usually concealed by one of the
workmen on the premises, and cut off nine staves;
they then raised it to a garret window usually left
unfastened at the end of Mr. Offin's house, and one of
them, having entered thereby, admitted the rest of the
gang at the front door. They first it would seem,
forced a desk in Mr. Offin's office, from which they
obtained about 20s. in silver, and then packed up
plate to the value of upwards of 401., which was left
below in or upon a side board, selecting, with the
judgment of accomplished burglars, the silver from
the plated articles.
Disappointed at not finding the cash below, three_ of
them proceeded to the bed-room of Mrs. Chant, Mr.
Offin's niece, who slept in a room adjoining that -in
which were two female servants, Mr. Offin's bed
room being at the end of the house. Each had a
candle, and they all wore dark frocks which covered
their persons, black veils concealing their faces. Mrs.
Chant attempted to scream, but the villains imme-
diately covered her head with the clothes to stifle her
cries. They desired her to tell them where the money
was, but she assured them that she did not know, and
entreated them not to hurt her uncle. Having
ran-
sacked the drawers. &c., in the room, they took a gold watch and about 15s. in silver belonging to
rsChant, and then visited the domestics. One of them,
an old servant, it was known had saved, by frugal
habits, a little store, and it is supposed that some booty
was here expected. The party had, however, wisely
deposited her treasure in the Savings Bank, and seven
shillings was all that the villains could here add-to
their booty.
Having left one of the gang to patrol between Mrs.
Chant's bed-room and that of the servants to prevent
either of them giving an alarm, the other four re-
paired to Mr. Offin's room. They awoke Mr. Offin
and threatened to blow his brains out if he moved.
Each held a lighted candle in his hand, one was armed
with a pistol, and another had a bludgeon. Two of
the fellows remained silent, and the other two in con-
versing with each other used a slang which for the
most part was unintelligible to Mr. Offin. One of
them, however, addressing him, said, " Abraham, we
won't hurt you, if you will say where your money
is ; money we have come for, and money we will
have." Mr. Offin directed their attention to an old
old liquor chest, in one corner of the room, which
they forced open in a twinkling, and as speedily
extracted its contents, consisting of 50 sovereigns
and a 101. note. The fellows remained nearly a
quarter of an hour in the room, minutely searching
every corner, and Mr. Offin, observing that they had
discovered where a number of drafts to the amount of
between 2,000/. and 3,0001, were deposited, begged that
they might not be taken, urging that they would be
of no valve to them. One of the villains, said, " D—n
him, he's got plenty of money in bills, but they are
of no use to us," and they were suffered to remain.
They then intimated their intention to take some re-
freshment before they left, and having taken the pre-
caution to remove all the candles from the bed-room,
went down stairs. Mr. Offin, as soon as he was
satisfied that his disagreeable guests had fairly
quitted the premises, obtained assistance, and dis-
patched messengers to the police, who gave informs.
tion at the Brentwood railway station, whence it was
forwarded in various directions by telegraph.—Essex
Herald.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 22.—The Fire Queen steam
yacht, Lieutenant-Commander Johnson, arrived last
night at nine o'clock from Plymouth, which she left
at nine o'clock yesterday morning, with the Countess
of Mount Edgecumbe on board, whom she landed
last night at Cowes to be in readiness to receive her
Majesty at Osborne this day. The Fire Queen had
the honour of conveying the Queen and Court to
Osborne this afternoon. She made the passage from
her moorings at the entrance of the Weevil creek to
Osborne pier in 37 minutes. We are not aware the
passage has ever been made so quickly before by any
vessel. The voyage was lengthened by the low tide
compelling the yacht to go round the head of the Spit.
This vessel encountered, a few nights since, one of the
most awful gales ever experienced on the British
coast. She lay to, under steam, not being able to
make any headway at all. She eventually, however,
weathered the storm, and got safe into Tenby. She
will continue in attendance upon the Queen until re-
lieved by one of the royal yachts, a duty which we
' trust will benefit more than one officer on board of
her. During the past three weeks she has been in
attendance upon the Lords of the Admiralty, on
their visits to Plymouth, Pembroke, Cork, and else-

where.
The Vernon (Indiaman), Captain Voss, will sail,
wind permitting, to-morrow afternoon about three
o'clock. Sir Harry Smith and staff, together with
his domestic establishment, will embark at the Vic-
toria pier to-morrow at twelve. All the officers in
the garrison will be present on the occasion.
On his return from Osborne, Sir Charles Ogle
visited the Turkish corvette Genah Bahiri, Captain
Mustapha, which saluted him, and the officers paid
him marked distinction. They are here merely on a
trip of instruction and pleasure.
The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com-
manding C. F. Roberts, arrived to-day from Ireland,
to fit for other service.
The Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. R. Eden, and
Trincomalee, 25, Captain R. S. Warren, put back
last evening to St. Helen's, in consequence of the
weather coming in thick, and anchored for the night.
They sailed this morning soon after daylight.
The Fury steam-sloop, Commander J. Wilcox,
sailed this afternoon for Plymouth.
The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, was
towed into harbour by the Echo steam-tug this
morning, and was warped alongside the dockyard, to
fit for the reception of the Queen Dowager.
The Chatham yacht, with Sir Thomas and Lady
Bourchier and family on board, sailed last night for
Chatham.
IVooLwicu, SEPT. 22. The Termagent steam
frigate, building at Deptford dockyard, is ordered to
be launched on Saturday next. The launch will take
place between 20 minutes before, and 20 minutes past
2 o'clock P.M.
The Niger steam-vessel, with screw propeller, is to
be brought down immediately from the East India
Docks to Woolwich, to be brought forward for com-

mission.
The Alban steam-vessel, Master-Commander
Bradshaw, is to be docked immediately at this port,
and when taken out will proceed to Ireland.
The remains of the late first-class engineer,
Robert Fraser, of the Prometheus steam-vessel, were
interred in the churchyard, Woolv‘ieh,onMonday
last, with the usual honours, six engineers of the
same class as the deceased bearing the pall, and fol-
lowed by eighteen engineers as mourners. The de-
ceased was nearly four years serving in the Prome-
theus steam-vessel on the coast of Africa, and was
unwell about two years of that period. lie was a
steady young man, and has left his father and mother
upwards of 1,0001., the Prometheus having been very
successful in the capture of slavers as to entitle him
to 4501. of prize money.

Two LIVES LOST.—A fatal occurrence happened
on Tuesday morning in the River Medway, whereby
two lives were lost, by the capsize of a peter-boat, in
Salt Paereach, half way been Chatham and Sheerness.
The peter-boat was observed by the crew of the yacht
Defiance, Master Thomas Thompson, running down
with all sail set, and observing a squall approaching,
the yacht was hove to, the crew immediately reefed the
sails, and in a moment they lost sight of the peter-
boat. They directly made to the spot, when they came
in contact with some boards and baskets, which left no
doubt in their minds that the peter-boat with the crew
had sunk. It is now ascertained that the peter-boat
belonged to Edward Cooper, fisherman and dredger-
man, of Strood, and that he and his son were on board
at the time the boat went down. They left home at
five o'clock in the morning for the purpose of dredging
for oysters, under the employ of the Queenborough
Oyster Company. It is supposed that the father and

[AnvEaTisEatENT.]—l'oun WOUNDS AND ERY-
SIPELAS IN THE LEG CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINT-
MENT:AND Pul.s.—JamesGarrell, ostler, of Lineskea,
Ireland, hurt his leg six years ago, and shortly after-
wards four wounds broke out, which kept continually
discharging; frequently he suffered so much as to be
quite unable to follow his daily labour, and lastly ery-
sipelas settled in his leg for nearly two months. During
the time of his suffering several medical men attended
men, but every application failed to give him relief until
ho used Holloway's Ointment and Pills ; these fine
medicines soon effected a perfect cure, and he can now
walk with the greatest comfort. Sold by all vendors
of medicines throughout the civilised world, and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
