'MVO. AND NoBLc A UTOnttAlittf.--There has
recently arrived in this „country from Holland
one of the most curious and valuable coffee.
Cons of original letters and autographs, of
the Most illustrious, eminent, and learned
characters flourishing about the sixteenth cen-
tury, which has ever fallen within our
observation. The original letters contain,
among numerous others, several from the hand of
Elizabeth of England, and of Elizabeth of Bohe.
mitt, addressed chiefly to the Lady Kelligrew ' • of
Charles IL, James, and several of Lord Lei-
cester's. The Portfolio, indeed, relating to Eng-
land, forms such a mass of curious antiquity, in ex.
cellent preservation, as cannot fail to be extremely
interesting both to the Antiquarian and the His.
torian. The foreign correspondence contains
original letters from the most distinguished per-
sons on the Continent, and are as valuable as
those relating to England. The Autographs, which
are unique of their kind, exceed any collection
within our knowledge. They are mostly bound
up in splendid volumes, and each page contains a
motto, and dedicatory address of all the great men
who happened to come within the reach of the ori-
ginal collector's acquaintance, illustrated with cu.
rious illOminated pages, descriptive of many events
recorded In history. The collection appears to
have been undertaken 'by Heysius, who held a
high and confidential situation at the. Court of
Holland, and frornifili circumstance %Oft enabled
to procure these rare documents.
QuEEN-SouAnt.-7(Crnel Robbery.)—Just as
the Magistrate was leaving the Office last night,
a youth, named George Turner, Was brought in,
charged with robbing his brother, under the fol-
lowing cruel circumstances s—lt appears that the
prisoner has long been addicted to depravity,
and his brother,, who is a bard-working brick-
layer, having a wife and large family to support,
took him into his family, and undertook to in-
struct, him irtN:te trade, in order that hi, might
honest
obtain a living.. In return for this bro-
therly kindness lie was continually robbing him,
and no doubt, unless be was checked, he would
bring him and his family to the parish. Yester-
day he gave him a sovereign to take home to his
wife, who was .without provision, instead of
which he converted it to his own use: for this of-
fence he was determined to punish him, for
lie felt satisfied unless he Was tow restrained he
would come to an untimely end. The prisoner
with great impudence denied that he ever re-
ceived the money from his brother.. The brother
here told the Magistrate that he was sure his
conduct wotild,be the death of his father, who Is
upwards years of age,.-..'the prisoner was
committed.of 86
