SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. —The Ocean Steam
Navigation Company's new steamer Hermann arrived
at Cowes this afternoon, at half past four o'clock. Her
mails, with what passengers she brought for England,
were immediately transhipped on board the Ruby
steamer, which boat had been waiting her arrival, and
conveyed to i his port. There were about eight or ten
passengers brought by the Ruby, and about the same
nutnberproef eded on to Bremen, the Hermann proceeding
thither immediately on the wails and passengers being
put on board the latter. The Hermann left Halifax on
the 29th ult., after having undergone some repairs to
her machinery, which got deranged in a heavy gale. She
is a fine-looking boat, after the Washington model, and
made the passage from Halifax in good style. Her
mails will be forwarded by the midnight train. The
intelligence is of the same date as that brought by the
Cam bria.

The Observer of Sunday, April 9, gave twelve
folio columns of Chartist movements, including upwards
of three columns of the Saturday proceedings of the
National Convention. Mr. Feargus O'Connor's speech
at length, preparations of the Government, and all the
latest particulars of the intended demonstration. It
may be asked, why is the Observer enabled on every po-
pulur occasion to do so much better than other journals?
The reply is, that the establishment of the Observer is
equal to that of all the other Sunday papers put toge-
ther; so far as regards editors and reporters, the Observer
is on an equality with nearly all the daily newspapers.
The Observer gave a column of Saturday's proceedings
at a meeting of surveyors at Freemason's Tavern,
Saturday's Marylebone Vestry, &c. &c.—Price of the
Observer 6d. Monday's edition at Four Monday after-
noons.

ARREST OF. ♦ MAN IN POSSESSION OF SOME OF
THE CROWN JEWELS OF FRANCE.—The Moniteur Beige
of the 10th inst. says :—" The iVouvelliste of Flanders
says that the police have arrested a man, named Van
Doorne, whose wife and family lived in Flanders, but
who was himself a workman in Paris, and occasionally
visited them. In February Van Doorne was in Paris,
but re-appeared at Bruges in the beginning of: March.
Contrary to his usual custom, he sported a good deal of
money, which he distributed among some workmen.
This excited the attention of the local police, who kept
an eye upon him. Last Saturday the Commissioner of
the Police was informed by a M. de Voss that Van
Doorne had called upon him and requested him to buy
some jewels The Commissioner instantly repaired to
the dwelling of Van Doorne, and, after a search of several
hours, succeeded in discovering a small box containing
diamonds of the crown of France, of great value. Among
the jewels was the eagle of the imperial crown, several
stores of which had been already rentoved. Van Doom()
declared that he had not stolen these jewels, but had
picked them up in the court of the Tuileries."

abolu\rtEls-
beach, by a poor man. A number of these lumps of
silver have been found there at various times. It is
thought that there are a great many still left, the re-
mains of a wreck many years since.
