Mr. James and Mr. Henry Dundas, belonging to

duction of the Admiralty offices, of selection for compulsory
retirement having been resorted to.

The London correspondent of the Freeman's

ment, having received ten lashes of the cat-o'-nine tails."

The health of Mr. Bright (the Birmingham Post
states) has improved since his removal to Upper Norwood,
as evidenced in a letter dictated by the right hon. gentleman
himself to a friend in Birmingham. Mr. Bright, however, it
is added,
is Compelled to abstain from any kind of mental
labour, and though the attack, having been taken in time,
may be expected to pass off in a comparatively short period,
he will not be able to return to the House of Commons for
come weeks to come.

The Globe publishes a statement to which it seems
to attach some importance: - "The Edinburgh Courant reports
a clever arrest of three burglars on Saturday morning. A
policeman saw a man busy sawing
through the iron stan-
chions The

themselves to be locked in the shop with the intention
of committing robbery, and then making their escape by
a companion sawing through the iron bare of the back
window."
