DR. WOLFF'S TRAVELS.

-- • -- Last evening the Rev. Dr. Wolff gave the— first of a
series of three lectures on his travels in Affghanistan,
comprehending an account or his first visit to Bokhara,
as also that of his last one, in order to ascertain the fate
of Colonel Stodart and Captain Connolly, in the Hall of
the Horns of Kennington Hotel. The lectures are for
the benefit of the national schools erected in that dis-
trict, and the opening one, last evening, was attended by
a large and respectable audience. In the commence-
ment the Rev. Doctor explained the reasons which led
him to undertake a mission to these countries. In doing
so be stated that after having made himself fully master
of the Oriental languages and theology, in acquiring
which he studied for some time at Rome, where he was
the fellow student of the present Pope Pius the Ninth,
he felt that, being himself, by the power of the Gospel,
placed as it were in a lonely garden listening to the song
of the nightingale, and enjoying the perfume of roses,
he should endeavour to impart some of those blessings
to the natives of heathen lands, and make an attempt
to confer upon them the benefits which he himself
enjoyed. Under these impressions, he resolved on
becoming a missionary to the heathens ; and the cir•
cumstance which made him, direct his attention
more particularly to Bokhara was, that when in
Jerusalem, in 1821, he was told by the Jews resi-
dent there that the Jews of Bokhara were, without
doubt, a remnant of the twelve tribes. This he wished
to ascertain, and in order to do so, he set out for that
country in 1830. He then proceeded to give a detail of
the incidents which attended his journey from the time
he left Constantinople up to the period when he was
taken as a slave by the Turkoman's prowess, to his
reaching Bukhara, leaving out the mode of his release
until a future lecture. In the course of this narrative he
gave a detail of the interviews he had with the various
Princes through whose countries he passed. One of the
most gratifying sights he saw in the course of his travels,
and one which he should like much to see in England,
was at Ancona, where Greek and Armenian Christians,
and Chaldees, of different denominations, were every
evening to be seen reading the Scriptures together, and
endeavouring to convince each other of the truth, with-
out the least symptom of animosity among them. In
the future lectures he would deliver, he would give an
account of his last journey to Bokhara, in reference to
Colonel Stodart and Capt. Connolly; but he considered
it necessary, in the first place, to detail the circumstances
of his first one, in order that the whole matter might be
fully understood. He wished also to state, that his ob-
ject was not to give a geographical account of the coun-
tries he had visited ; but was strictly of a missionary
nature, his whole aim being, as he had previously stated,
to place others in the enjoyment of those privileges and
blessings which he himself enjoyed.

REMOVAL OF THE WELLINGTON STATUE FROM
THE ARCH.—During the lisit of the Queen and Prince
Albert to town on Saturday last, her Majesty communi-
cated her decision to the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests, that the Wellington statue shall be removed
forthwith from its present umightly elevation.

HER MAJESTY; STAG HOUNDS.—The meet yester-
day of her Majesty's stag-hounds took place at Wink-
field row, but the field exhibited a smaller muster than
usual, amounting to little more than fifty, including the
Earl of Granville (the Master of,the Buck Hounds), the
Marquis of Worcester, the Hon. Mr. Denman, Messrs.
Worley, Cox, &c., &c. An untried deer, on being
turned out in the neighbourhood of Warfield, doubled
back towards Winkfield, heading to the right into Sir
John Walsh's park, and over Chevy Downs to Swinley,
where it crossed the plantations in the direction of Bag-
shot, taking to the left to King's Beach, thence to Sun-
ninghill, and away for Ascot. The deer then made to
the right to Mr. Crutchley's park, and on nearly to
Fern-hill, where it doubled in the plantation, and ran
back to the One Ton at Sunninghill, thence through the'
grounds at Buckhurst Lodge, nearly to Sawyer's Gate,
where it was captured,- after an excellent and unusually
fast run of nearly one hour and a half. Earl Granville
and most of the field were up at the take. To-morrow the
private meet will take place at Broom-hill Hut, on the
road between Sunninghill and Bagshot.
Commanders Lowe and Birney, of her Majesty's
ships Pluto and Madagascar, stationed in the Shannon,
have received orders from Admiral Sir Hugh Pigot, at
Cove, to use all possible exertions and dispatch to ex-
tricate the Swallow steam-tender, which was driven
on shore at high water in the storm on the moagrnein, and
godf
the 21st ult. A large quantity of timber, cord
other materials were taken down to the stranded vessel..

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
caused an inquiry to be made into the efficiency of the
seamen employed in the rigging department of this
dock-yard, and a special report is to be made of those
above 60 years of age.—Devonport Telegraph.
CHILD DROPPING.—On Sunday evening a female
child, apparently six or eight weeks old, was found upon
the steps inside the iron railing of the Lying-in Hospital
in the City-road. It was wrapped up in two shawls
with clean and comfortable looking clothing, and the ge-
neral appearance betoken respectability. It was handed
over to the police, and sent by Inspector Gravvsteck
from the Featherstone-street station to St. Luke's
Workhouse.

THE BURGLA
FEMALI
On Saturday, at the B
Elizabeth White, was
burglary at the house of
titulars of ythich have a,
ton, solicitor, of Gray's Inn-lane, attended for the pro-
secution.
The prisoner, when placed at the bar, appeared to be
in a very weak state from the effects of the cold she
caught in the commission of the robbery, and she was
accommodated with a chair. She was respectably
dressed, rather short, and in countenance looked a hand-
some gipsy.
Mr. Jones, having identified the property found at
the prisoner's lodgings as part of that stolen from his
house on Tuesday, October 20,
Emma Kent deposed that she had been in the service
of Mr. Jones for the last four years. The prisoner in
the month of September last came on a visit to witness
by Mr. Jones's permission, during his absence, and
stayed eight or nine days. On the 20th ult. she again
called on witness at Mr. Jones's, as she said, to bid wit-
ness good-bye before she went to a situation at Bedford.
She came about six o'clock, and left about nine o'clock.
Witness, with the servant next door, accompanied the
prisoner to the Ealing station of the Great Western
Railway, and saw her take her departure by the quarter-
past nine o'clock train, which is the last to Paddington.
On that evening witness fastened up the house between
five and six o'clock, and sprung the bars of the kitchen
window shutters. The next morning, when witness went
down stairs, she was greatly surprised at finding the
drawing-room door open, having seen it shut as
she went up to bed the night before, and on getting
into the kitchen she found that door shut which she had
left open, and the window shutters open, and the curtain
hanging down. She then saw on the window sill muddy
marks of some person having entered. Raving searched
the house without missing anything, she gave infor-
mation of the circumstance to Mr. Jones. Saw nothing
suspicious in the prisoner's conduct the evening
before
the robbery.
Inspector Loxton, T division, deposed to having re-
ceived information of the robbery on the morning of the
29th ult., and that he had examined the premises the
same day, when he found that the entry had been
effected by some flat instrument being introduced be-
tween the kitchen window-shutters, by which the bar
had been lifted up from the outside. He also found
footmarks, evidently of a female, on the lawn in front of
the kitchen window, and tracked them to the wall at the
side of the house, and over that in a field where he also
found the knife produced, which he had no doubt had
been used to open the window. shutter. The knife was
Mr. Jones's. Witness had since traced the stolen notes
from the Bank of England, into which they had been
paid through the hands of several tradesmen, and one of
them, No. 88,061, to have been paid by the prisoner to
a Miss Warren, of Hanway-street, Oxford-street, in the
purchase of two pairs of stays, to whom the prisoner had
given her real name and address. On Friday, the 30th
ult., witness went to No. 20, Crown-court, Pall-mall, and
was shown by Mrs. Lee, the landlady, to the prisoner's
room. On entering, he found the prisoner and
another female in the room, both undressed, having
just got out of bed. That was about ten o'clock
in the forenoon. He told the prisoner he was come to
apprehend her for the robbery at Mr. Jones's, at Ealing,
the stolen notes having been traced to her, when
she became greatly agitated, and nearly fainted. In the
room he found wills and deeds and other documents
done up in a brown paper parcel, directed to Mr. Jones,
Woodland place, Ealing, and under the pillow the stolen
desk produced, with the coins and most of the stolen
articles, except the notes and sovereigns. He then took
the prisoner into custody.
Sergeant Tull, T 22, deposed to conveying the pri-
soner to the station-house at Ealing by railway. At the
Paddington terminus the prisoner said she hoped Emma
Kent would not be discharged through the robbery, as
no one was to blame but herself (prisoner) ; and, in
addition, she said, " they can't say I took anything ex-
cept that," meaning the desk. She also said she had
folded up the wills and deeds with the intention of send-
ing them back to Mr. Jones. Witness cautioned her
that what she said would be used against her, to which
she replied, " Never mind, I have no wish to conceal
anything."
The prisoner was further identified by Miss Warren,
who sold her the stays, as the person who gave her the
stolen 51. note • and also by Mrs. Glover, a person to
whom she had given the stolen penholder ; and Mrs.
Lee, the landlady where she lived in Crown-court, de-
posed to her coming home on the morning of the 21st
ult., about eight o'clock, wet through, and in an ex-
hausted state, and that she soon afterwards saw the
desk in the room, and the prisoner break it open.
The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was
committed.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.
We copy the following letter, addressed to the editor,
from the Northern Whig, Belfast paper:—
" Dundrum, Nov. 5,1846.
"]Sir,—This noble' ship still retains her old berth; and
although every one was given to understand that Mr.
Mackintosh was to arrive here on Monday last, and com-
mence immediate operations towards, her rescue, such
has not been the case; and it is now confidently reported
that that gentleman has not undertaken to relieve her
from her present perilous position.
" The weather during the past week has been very
boisterous, but has not in any way affected the Great
Britain. The owners and underwriters are reported to
have come to the determination of leaving her as she is,
protected by a breakwater, for the winter. She will
have some very severe weather to cc,ntend with, accom-
panied with heavy seas, as is well known upon this coast;
but, should the breakwater be efficiently moored, and the
holding ground stand, I doubt not but she will rough it
out, for the ensuing six months, without sustaining any
great amount of injury.
" I have observed a paragraph in some of the papers,
stating I had styled myself a lieutenant in her Majesty's
navy, and that I took the credit of heaving off the Gor-
gon, which was contradicted by Mr. Hinton. I beg
leave, through your valuable journal, to deny such being
the case. I never styled myself as such ; and where
such an error could have originated I am at a loss to
account. Mr. Hinton deserves every credit for his exer-
tions upon the occasion alluded to. As to his never
having heard of me I am not surprised, as it is not the
general routine of the service for officers, on foreign sta-
tions, to leave their cards upon carpenters of men-of-
war. I was employed on•the south-east coast of America,
from March, 1842, till December, 1845 ; and, conse-
quently, there during the whole of the operations, the
plans of which I have in my possession, and should be
prepared to put into immediate execution, if called upon.
"Your obedient servant,
" THOMAS S. S. GABRIEL, R.N."

PAISLEY.—Trade here has fully partaken of the
langour Vlat is common throughout the manufacturing
districts for some weeks past. During the last four weeks
work has been gradually getting more difficult to obtain,
and in the course of last week and the present a con-
siderable number of workmen have been thrown idle.
We are glad to notice some slight prospect of an improve-
ment in this respect, and also the appearance of an early
commencement of the spring trade. Considerable orders
have been received for shipments to America this week,
.and in several instances the idle hands have been sent
for, under the impression that the demand for autumn
goods will be greater than was anticipated, both for
home and foreign trade. We know of one extensive
establishment which is so busy supplying the home
market, that considerable orders for America have been.
refused. In consequence of the same cheering news
from the other side of the Atlantic, the extensive th,:ead-
work of the Messrs. Coats has again been orde-ted on
full time, which is a most gratifying occurrer,ce to a
numerous set of workers.—Betzfrewshtre I?efornier.
