ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY IN
HEREFORDSHIRE.
We have this week, we are sorry to say, the pain-
ful duty of recording one of the most atrocious rob-
beries that have been committed in this county for
many years, the villains who perpetrated it evidently
being determined, as in the recent cases of burglary,
at Oldbury, in Worcestershire, and Burford, to sa-
crifice life, should any obstacle be presented to the
fulfilment of their designs.
The offence to which we refer was committed on
the premises of Miss Morris, a maiden lady, residing
in the parish of Weston Beggard.
About three o'clock on Sunday morning last Miss
Morris's house was entered by three men. The fel-
lows first attempted to enter by taking out several
squares of glass out of a casement in the back-kitchen
window, but after they had proceeded somewhat far
with their intention, they found that three rather mas-
sive iron bars therein offered considerable resistance
to their efforts to force them, and at length they
abandoned their project of entering by that way. Ac-
cordingly they passed to the parlour window, which
phdthaaoervoylrionuignr:o succeeded in opening. This parlour opens by a

sharp-pointed instrument (probably a round-pointed
chisel) they forced open this door. Out of this par-
lour there is a way to the other parts of the house, and
also up stairs. In this last-mentioned room was a
bureau desk with green baize on the top, in which the
china and silver plate were kept. They cut the baize
sway, and took from it half a dozen silver spoons, and
out of one of the drawers they took a purse contain-
ing 31. in gold and half-crowns. There was here an
old-fashioned dins bowl, which the thieves turned

The National has the following on the discussion
on the Municipal Bill and on the Electoral Law of
the 31st May, 1850. It brings forward statistical
tables to show that the departments which have been
most affected by the law of May 81 are almost without
exception those where either Republican or Legiti-
matist doctrines most prevail, and draws the inference
that the object of that measure was to lead to the
eventual triumph of the Orleanist party. It then
proceeds as follows:
" It is to be concluded from that that M. Thiers and
his friends cleverly played their game. In causing
twenty or thirty Democratic Representatives, and twenty
or thirty Legitimatists to disappear from the National
Assembly, and in causing them to be replaced by
men of their own colour, they would have re-
constituted the old majority of the Chamber
of Deputies before 1848; and there would only
have been wanting, for the thing to be completely played
out, that the Prince de Jolt:trill° should be nominated to
the Presidency of the Republic. He would certainly
have had the support of such an Assembly even if he
had not obtained the two millions of votes required
by the Constitution. Our readers know that atter hav-
ing conjured away universal suffrage, the second part of
the campaign was in course of execution, and that there
was seriously a question in their private meetings, of the
candidateship of the Prince de Joinvillee But L. Na-
poleon
and the Legitimatists, who fell into the snare,
perceived the design in time. On one hand, the Le-
gitimatists said, This law of the 31st May is a de-
testable law—it deprives us of our peasants.' Louis
Napoleon, on his part, said, This law is a monstrosity,
for not only does it take away my peasants, but also my
workmen of the towns, who, though voting for the
Socialists, have voted for me.' Hence the double tactics
of the Legitimatists and of the President of the Repub-
lic. The first have occupied themselves in drawing up
a law more monstrous than that of the 31st May, a law
which would restore to them their peasants, but which
would continue to keep out the workmen of the towns.
This law is that which has been presented by M. de
Vatimesnil, reporter of the Municipal Committee. On his
part, M. L. Napoleon, to bring back his peasants and
his workmen, and at the same time set aside M. de Join-
ville and the Legitimatists has imagined nothing better
than to propose the simple repeal of the law of the 31st
of May. Let tools see in the conduct of the Legiti-
matists and of the President of the Republic, the desire
to return to legality, or to moralise universal suffrage;
but, for our part, we see nothing else therein than more
or less disguised calculations of deceived ambitious par-
ties, desirous of saving their stakes in the game. As to
the New Municipal Bill, in it the law of the 31st of
May, if it be not aggravated, is purely and simply
maintained for workmen who have not satisfied the law
of recruitment in the place in which they have fixed their
domicile."

It thus comments on the resolution adopted by the
Republicans to abstain from taking any part in the
discussion on the Municipal Bill. It says :
" The Left cannot be your dupe to-day any more than
it was your dupe yesterday. It will not risk i❑ the
wretched proposition you make it either the dignity or
the imprescriptible principle of popular sovereignty. It
will abstain. The country will applaud this resolution.
We will imitate the silence of the Left. We will say
nothing of the discussion which commenced yesterday.
We will not serve as echoes to the eloquence of M.
Barrot, M. de Vatimesnil, M. Faucher, and other honour-
abler, disputing amongst themselves on the perils or the
immense advantages of the general register."
The Burgraves have sought an alliance with the
extreme Left, and have endeavoured to induce them
to join in an impeachment of the President; the Left
have no objection to the impeachment, provided the
expedition to Rome, and the abolition of universal
suffrage be made the grounds of it, but not otherwise.

FRANCE, RUSSIA, AND TURKEY.
The Journal des Debats gives the following intel-
ligence, which it has received from its correspondent
at Constantinople, by the last mail We have
already spoken of the autograph letter, addressed by
the Emperor of Russia to the Sultan, demanding as a
favour, to make no concession to France (who indeed
asks for none, since she only requires the execution
of the treaty of 1740), but to maintain things at
Jerusalem in the state in which they are at present.
The Minister of France, notwithstanding the rights
secured to us by the treaties of 1690 and 1740 with the
Porte, treaties admitted by it as the bases of the nego-
tiations, thought that he might enable the Divan to
hasten the solution of the question, by proposing an ar-
rangement to the effect, that the foursanctuaries, which,
according to the treaties, are ours, should be used in
common by the Greeks and Latins for the celebra-
tion of their respective forms of worship. This
arrangement appeared to be accepted ; but the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs said that participation ought
to be extended to all the sanctuaries without dis-
tinction ; so that the Latins who possess fourteen
sanctuaries would have given up seven to receive
two. The status quo was preferable to such an
arrangement. The French Legation could not accept
it, and Rome and all the Catholic powers, with the
xception of Naples, which makes common cause
with Russia, would have protested against it. The
negotiations were accordingly broken off. It is
clear that the letter of the Emperor, which Ali Pacha
saw, but which did not become known to the corps
diplomatique until after it was presented to the
Sultan, was the obstacle which stopped the Divan,
and prevented the conclusion of such an equitable
and liberal arrangement. When this circumstance
became known the negotiations took another turn.
The departure of M. de Reculot, Secretary of Le-
gation at Constantinople, which was to have taken
place on the 24th October, was delayed eight days,
on account of a promise of the Grand Vizier and
Ali Pacha to submit the affair to the Legation. It sub-
sequently became known that the new proposition in-
tended was nothing else than the old one set aside by
the Legation—the common participation in all the
sanctuaries. But the Porte has not dared to make it,
either from the conviction that France will refuse
it, or from the consideration that as Russia has
formally demanded the status quo, it would be in
opposition to the Emperor's letter. In a conference
which M. de Titoff had with the Grand Vizier and
the Minister of Foreign Affairs on this letter, he de-
clared that the Greeks have rights previous to the
treaties of 1690 and 1740 with France; that as pro-
tector of the Greek religion, the Emperor, his mas-
ter (and probably theirs also), was under the obli-
gation of maintaining those rights; that the Porte
could do nothing with France without first examin-
ing the question with Russia; and that he had
orders to break off his relations, and to retire with
all his Legation if the Porte, disregarding this right,
should not maintain things at Jerusalem in the
strictest status quo. Thus the situation has be-
come aggravated. It is not to be doubted that the
Porte is greatly offended at the pretension of Russia
to submit the execution of treaties with other powers
to its good pleasure. It was even said that the Grand
Vizier and Ali Pacha had offered their resignation to
the Sultan, who, however, had not accepted them.
But at the bottom, the menaces of Russia cause alarm,
and before taking a decisive step, the Cabinet at Con-
stantinople would be glad to know what will be the
resolution of the French Government. M. de Reculot,
First Secretary to the French Embassy, left on the
sth for Paris. M. Haze, an attache of the Legation,
has just died at Therapia. He was the only son of
General Ulm. The French squadron, when last
heard of, was at the Piraeus ; it consists of the frigate
Pandore, the brigs the Fabert and the Mercure, the
steamers the Sentinelle, the Ajaccio, the Eclaireur
and the Vendette."
