DARING ROBBERY.—On Tuesday morning last,
about ten o'clock, as a young lady was going through
the Regent's-park to give morning lessons, she was
stopped near Ilanover-gate by a man who accosted her,
pretending to beg ; before she had time to reply he
seized her reticule, and. after a struggle, tore it vio-
lently from her arm and set off running ; she screamed
as loudly us she could, but no one came to her assist-
ance; two or three hundred yards further she met two
policemen, and one of them ran after the robber, but
could not find him. The purse contained 6s. or 7s. in
silver, a gold pencil-case worth 305., a scent-bottle, and
a pocket-handkerchief.

gave very great uneasiness to many who were otheonenrdwiuni%teLel
his well-wishers. The deceased has not been opened,
which we regret; 'therefore, there are many conflicting
opinions as to the cause of his death. Some attribute it
to a softness of brain, some to diseased lungs; some (the
more amiable interpreters) to the misfortunes of several
intimate friends now undoing oakum in the House of
Correction. We believe that the desertion of Mr. Cuffey
had a very serious effect upon the spirits of the deceased.
It was thought, at least that Mr. Cuffey would have
closed the eyes of Chartism, and that Mrs. Cuffey would
have laid him out. We regret to state that it has been
otherwise. 'rho deceased died almost wholly neglected.
It is still declared by some that be caught his death on
the 10th of April, when, against the advice of his best
friends, he would go to Kennington-common, where—it
is thought—an alarm of the scarlet fever, latent in the
neighbourhood, gave such a shock to his system, that
he sickened from that hour. Nevertheless, he made fre-
queut attempts to rally, and it is thought that had his
friends supplied him with funds he might have lingered
on for some time. For want of a shell, his remains were
consigned to an empty money-box, with a bad shilling
nailed upon the lid, as a significant coffin-plate.—Punch.
