EXTRAORDrNARY ROBBgIIY IN BIR-
G GUAM.

On Thursday morning a most daring robbery was
committed on the premises of Mr. 11. Burbidge, corn
factor, Bradford•street, Birmingham. Upon the shop
being opened, it wasldiscovered that the iron safe in which
Mr. Burbidge kept his books, title deeds, and cash, had
been carried off. The safe weighed nearly 4001 b., and
was fastened to the walllayttfrirtfb-firbfackets on which
it rested. Thengh nothing else had been disturbed, the
booty thus obtained was considerable, there being in the
drawers of the safe no less than 1401., of which about
551. was in gold, 351. in silver, and the remainder in
notes. To Mr. Burbidge, however, the cash was the
least valuable portion of its contents. An entrance bad
been effected by a window immediately over the shop
door. Thence access to the shop was Easy, and possibly
confederates were admitted by the front door, in order
that operations requiring at once strength and dexterity
might the more easily be conducted. The inquiries
made, with a view of ascertaining how the safe was
carried off led Mr. Burbidge and the police to conclude
that it bad been taken off the premises shortly after six
o'clock, at which hour the constables on night duty are
relieved. It so happened that the officer on the beat
had that night received special instructions from Mr.
Burbidge to keep a sharp look out upon the premises,
as the carcases of a couple of pigs had been temporarily
left in the coach-house. The thieves or their confede-
rates had perhaps noticed that this was being
done, and were consequently prevented leaving
the shop during the night ; but it seems more likely that
they had fixed on this period of the morning as the most
suitable for their purpose. Detective-sergeant Manton,
who was employed in the case, ascertained at the outset
of his inquiries that a hand cart had been seen near the
shop about half-past 0, and that this had been taken in
the direction of Trinity church. Betwixt 9 and 10
o'clock a boat passing through a lock of the canal situated
at the back of this church, experienced some obstruction
in its progress, not being able, we presume, to sink low
enough. An examination lecl to the discovery that an
iron chest was lying in the lock. Mr. Burbidge having
heard of this at once went to the spot, and, with the as-
sistance of Manton, endeavoured to recover it. Finding,
however, that on raising the safe the books were drop-
ping out, he went to the canal office for the aid of the
officials. Mr. Lloyd. one of the managers, kindly re-
turned with them. The lock was completely emptied of
water. ,The safe was recovered, and with it all the
books and important documents, though of course the
cash had disappeared. Sledge hammers must have been
used to force the chest open. It was so bent and torn
that its maker would have been unable to identify it.
There is no doubt that the operation of forcing it open
was performed on a piece of waste ground near Trinity
church, and as the noise of doing so must have been
considerable, it may seem surprising that detection did
net follow. This, however, shows that the boldness and
daring of the thieves was of a ca'culating character:
They thought that at such an hour no one would be
likely to suspect the nature of their occupation, espe-
cially as one of the stone-breaking yards belonging to
the corporation► 'immediately adjoins the spot. We be-
lieve that the .police have obtained some clue to the
thieves.—ffirmingham.

TILE MONSP
RON GUN AT THE MERSEY
I WORKS.

This immense gun, the largest that bas ever been at-
tempted
is concerned, the finishing or inacie,isnsiissng strokeeoniple ted, so far as the forging
'having
been given to it
on Saturday, when it had its last heat. It has afforded
the esteemed proprietors; the Messrs. Horsfall, and Mr.
Clay, the manager, the most lively satisfaction to know
that, not only has the gun turned out to be a most beau-
tiful
piece of workmanship, but that this result has been
acquired without a single accident. The time occupied
in its manufacture has been about seven weeks, during
which time it has not been out of hands night or day.
The scene of the manufacture, on Saturday, presented a
most stirring appearance. The fiery-red furnace shed a
peculiar light on the working parties engaged ; and when
the monster mass was brought out, glowing g with heat,
added to the sound of orders from the head artisans
and coupled with the aspect of the 40 or 50 men em-
ployed on the staff,
all anxious to attend to every in-
struction with the most prompt obedience, the scene was
one of the most exciting kind. When the huge hammer
had done its work, the whole establishment was imme-
diately apprized of it, and the loud huzzas of those sons
of Vulcan testified their satisfaction with the successful
undertaking. On Monday this gun was weighed, and,
after deducting the chain and tackle from it, its weight
was 24 tons 7 cwt., the largest piece of wrought-iron
over manufactured. It is now pretty generally known
that the Messrs. Horsfall purpose to present the country
with this gun—an honourable and convincing proof of
our enterprising townsmen's superior skill and patriotic
spirit. The measurement of the gun is some 15 feet ;it
is to be of 13-inch bore, and its power of propulsion to
be of power to urge a spherical shot of 302 lbs. five miles.
It will be a swivel gun, placed in the bow or stern of
the vessel. Several naval and military men have taken
great interest in it. We are given to understand that it
is proposed to have this gun taken to the lathe to-day
(Tuesday), and in the course of about a month hence it
' will be ready fur service.—Liverpool Standard.

But in the present instance the honour and inte-
rests of the country are involved in the fate of
Lord Palmerston. No journal has more freely or
more frequently arraigned the policy of the Noble
Lord than the Morning Advertiser ; but that was
avowedly with the view of urging him on to greater
vigour in the conduct of the war—never with the
view of ejecting him from the Premiership. With
the facts which have been brought to our know-
ledge within the last few days, we oease, at least
for the moment, all opposition to Lord Palmer-
ston,, and call on the nation at large, as it values
the dignity, the honour, and the interests of Eng-
land, to rally round him as one man.
There is a deep-laid conspiracy to eject him from
office, similar to that to which he fella victim in 1851.
It is not only a hostile Court, and traitors in his
Cabinet, that he has to contend against, but Conti-
nental Powers, aye, and par Les, too, high in p0h...7
tied, position, who are .presureed to be in alliance
wit's us against Russia, are at this very hour in-
triguing against, and labouring to accomplish the
downfall of the Noble Lord. What we have often
prepared our readers to expect, has at last occurred.
Those on whom we relied in the war against Rus-
sia have failed us, and unlesS the people of England
avow, without delay, their readiness to stand or
fall by Lord Palmerston, not only will the Noble
Lord be sacrificed, but England and Europe will,
ere long, have to ho prostrate at the feet of the
Czar.

Lord Palmerston, supported by Lord Clarendon,
is—we say it advisedly—the only man in the coun-
try to whom the people can look with any confi-
dence in this crisis. If an insecure and ignomini-
ous peace be not concluded, England and Europe
will owe their escape to the patriotism, the energy,
the intelligence, and consumaiate diplomatic skill
of the Noble Lnrd at the head of the Government.
Let his Lordship—for his encouragement to per-
severe in the course he has chalked out for himself,
of determined resistance to the designs of Russia—
be assured of this, that he has the people, to a man,
with him, and that, whenever he feels that the
proper moment for a dissolution of Parliament has
arrived, the country will attest its confidence in
him, by returning, amidst the loud plaudits both
of the electoral and non-electoral bodies, such a
majority of Members in his favour as will put an
extinguisher on all those who are at this moment
leagued together for his overthrow, as the only sure
way of promoting the. purpose& and plans of the
Czar.

• • ( From the Times of this day.)
The period at which our negotiations for peace
are just arriving is probably the most critical that
they will have to go through. Nothing has as yet
been received from St. Petersburg, except by tele-
graph, but to-morrow written communications are
expected, and then will immediately arise the ques-
tion of signing a preliminary treaty of peace, arid
with it the demand, which will doubtless be most
earnestly pressed on the 'Western Powers, that they
should enter into an armistice for the period during
which that treaty of peace is to be discussed.
Hitherto the game has been all.on our side. Whe-
ther it be, as the Nord surmises, that Russia has
been actuated by the magnanimous desire of sacri-
ficing purely Russian to European interests, and
also has at length awoke to the tardy conviction

that not only the 'Western btrbarians, but people
who ought to know better, believe that the Czar has
designs upon Turkey and aspirations after the banks
of the Bosphorus, certain it is that Russia has abated
her pretensions with a rapidity after which her
breathless admirers struggle in vain, and has sud-
denly transferred the contest from the field to the
cabinet. Hero, however, she will encounter us on
terms far more advantageous than she could pos-.
sibly hirpe for hi any Other sphere of action. The
goodwill of the Princes of Germany was not very
likely to carry them into the excess of taking the
field for the sake of either party. They know the
blessings of ease, and are resolved to enjoy them
to the utmost. While, therefore, the war con-
tinued, Russia, with numerous well-wishers, was
pretty sure to be left alone in the field, to fend
herself as best she might against Powers by whom
she was already overmatched. But, though her
friends dare not or cannot fight for her, they have
no objection to do for her any other service she
may exact from them. So long 'as there is no
danger, no broken head to apprehend, no Power is
richer in friends or more earnestly supported than
Russia. She bears, indeed, a charmed life, and
every petty Prince of Europe regards her with the
same conviction with which Louis XI., in Scott's
admirable novel, looked upon the astrologer Marcio
Galeoti—tho conviction that he cannot hope to sur-
vive her decease for a single day. Now, therefore,
that the time of negotiation has arrived, we do not
doubt but that the Allies will be overwhelmed with
professions of perfidious sympathy and affected
approbation, and will discover that innumerable
potentates, whom but a few months ago they re-
garded, and with justice, as among the most luke-
warm of their friends, or perhaps not the least bitter
of their enemies, were always their well-wishers,
always maintained the justice of their cause, always
believed in the certainty of its success, and only
hope that they will now exercise as much prudence
and moderation in the( conference as they have
shown fortitude and gallantry in the day of battle.
Russia, we shall be reminded by a hundred titled
sycophants, is still a great .and formidable power,
tenderly susceptible of her honour, morbidly sen-
sitive of the opinion even of her enemies, and sa-
crificing herself, as that veracious and patriotic
journal, the Nord, of Brussels, assures us, rather
to European interests and to European opinions,
than to any inability to carry out the struggle in
which she finds herself engaged. Then it will be
hinted that the feelings of the Emperor would be
grievously hurt by our insisting on one condition,
and the spirit of the Archduke Constantine
by our pressing indiscreetly for another, and
we shall be told, as Mr. Gladstone and his
friends have over and over again told us,
that the best guarantee for peace is not in
extorting harsh and grinding conditions, but in
conciliating those by our generosity whom we have
previously taught to respect us by' our valour.
Joined to this class of mediators we must expect
to have to encounter others of a different stamp—
men who view peace and war as stookjobbiug spe-
culations, who would open the temple of Janus

that they might buy into the funds low, and close
it again that they might sell out higher. To such
men human life is so much air, honour is so much
dross, wide and prospective plans of policy the
visions of dreamers or of maniacs, who sacrifice
the present to the future, and expect like Rasselas,
Prince of Abyssinia, to-morrow to redeem the pro-
mises of to-day. Patriotism is to them a word to
conjure with, not to express any real or genuine
feeling, and they would welcome for their country
another Waterloo, if such a disaster would have,
like its predecessor, the effect of raising the price
of Government securities..
Surely Russia, with such auxiliaries, does not
descend into the diplomatic arena without some
hope of reconquering with her arts those advan-
tages which she has lost by her arms. On the
steadfastness of purpose, the manly i,elf-confidence,
and the unwavering resolution of the allies it must
depend to thwart all these manoeuvres and to hold
fast their dearly bought and highly prized supe-
riority. It must be clearly understood that these
negotiations are not to be like ordinary Conferences
where each party is straining his ingenuity to see
which can most completely deceive the other—
which can hide his internal misgivings under the
bolder front—which can conceal his real inability
to continue the contest under the loudest declara-
' tions and the most dauntless bearing. Tho allies
have no occasion to have recourse to such paltry
and miserable arts ; they have won their position
for themselves, and they know its value, for they
have dearly paid for it. They cannot certainly tell
what is the true condition of Russia, what money
still remains in her treasuries, what troops in her
fortresses, what spirit inherpeople, what enthusiasm
in her Church—bow many of these paper armies,
which are ready at every point to confront an
imaginary invader in all the might awl majesty of
the very boldest type, would be found present in
the body when the day of action arrives. These
things they cannot know, though they may partly
guess ; but, for themselves, they are sure that they
possess fleets and armies adequate to any enterprise
they may devise, and resources that can support
them in full efficiency so long as anything remains to
he done. Power has not, as Mm. Cobden would
have us believe, so wholly deserted wealth, victory
has not made so fast a league with poverty, bar-
barism has not asserted so decided a triumph over

civilisation, nor ignorance over enlightenment,
that we, with our world-wide commerce and our
boundless resources, should doubt of the result of
the contest, if the contest be again renewed. We
have nothing to fear from open force ; all our ap-
prehensions are from de]ay and trickery. It should
be our business, now that the basis of negotiation
is agreed upon, to formulate the terms of the treaty
we are prepared-to sign in language the most pre-
cise, brief, and unambiguous possible. Let Russia
accept such a treaty at once,, if she, be so minded,
and we shall be content ; if not, let her reject it,
and we shall also be content, fur we have every
reason to believe we can conquer a better. Above
all let no entreaties or cajoleries induce us to give
up for a single instant the blockade of her coasts,
so far as-it is not superseded by the ice, by which
we isolate one part of the empire from the other,
and the whole empire from intercourse with neigh-
bouring countries. If there must be an armistice,
though we see no necessity for any respite, let at
least our blockade be excepted from its operation,
and let an early day be peremptorily fixed on
which warlike operations shall again begin unless
a definitive treaty of peace shall before that time
have been signed and ratified. If it be understood
that we enter on the conference fn this spirit, with
a thorough resolution either to bring it to a pacific
termination or to break it off, we shall have no
reason to fear that Europe will be lie, long in
suspense as tri the destinies of the cc. -Jag, yoai..
• (Front the Morning Herald.) •
A morning contemporary, who- was the- first to
-,congratulate this country on the Russian accept-
ance of the Austrian propositions, now discovers
that, " However ungracious it may be to cavil at
so gratifying an announcement," it would have
been much more satisfactory had those terms been
-more precise and comprehensive, or, in other words,
instead of forming the basis of a treaty, if they had
constituted the " substantive treaty itself." We
perfectly agree with our contemporary in this re-
spect—the rather ahat from the first we have taken
this view of the proposals, and from the first have
denounced them as incomplete, unsatisfactory, and
treacherous. In certain respects they involve unex-
pected. concessions on the part.of Russia; in others,
the interests of Europe in general, and of this
country in particular, are left completely out of
consideration. We cannot help thinking, as we
before observed, that in the prompt—we might
almost say the eager-7acceptance by Russia of these
proposals, pur et simple, there is something at
least suspicious ; for translated severely, and with-
out' he reservation which the fifth article admits
of, they provide, if not for the surrender of the
Russian supremacy in the Black Sea, at all events
for such a modification of it as will effectually
damage her prestige. There is something more here
than meets the eye. Let it not be forgotten that
these proposals, accepted as they are, constitute, as
it has been happily phrased, "a Russian declaration
from an Austrian lip." Our mediator has secured, or
hopes to secure, a position on the Danube, which has
long been the dream of Austrian statesmen, and
which will enable her to control the commerce east-
ward of all Germany. Let it not be forgotten also that
the campaign would shortly have opened, that this
country was about to put forth her strength, and
that a pause now in our operations—the breath-
ing time of an armistice—would be of incalculable
value to our enemy. Let it not escape the public
mind of England, that, for all that may be said to
the contrary, we aro about to be dragged into ne-
gotiations at the instance of a power whose course
hitherto has been marked by her insidious and too
successful efforts to aid our enemy, and who sees
her own interests very clearly in terminating hos-
tilities now, whatever may be the general result of
such a step, and who is equally clear as to the ad-
vantage of their suspension at the present moment
to Russia.

We ask, what is the necessity for negotiations to
be carried on till April next, we care not whether
in Brussels, Frankfort, or Aix-la-Chapelle ? If the
question of peace or war is really to be decided,
why could not one week suffice fur the arrangement
of the terms on which to withdraw our forces ? A
categorical demand can be readily put, and Russia's
sincerity will be tested by her readiness to meet it.
Where is the necessity for ambiguity and diploma-
tic humbug, of which. the •tyorld"has ha 1 enough
during the past year to disgust it for ever with the
very name of "negotiation ?" We know what we
want, and what we are determined to have, if there
is virtue in ships and soldiers. France has made
up her mind upon the same category. As we have
fought together, we are united iu opinion upon the
only terms on which a solution of the Eastern
question depends. This we venture to assert, not-
withstanding the very strange language of certain
members of the French press. We say, if Russia
is sincere, and Austria is loyal, there is no cause
for delay. The mind of this country is prepared
for either alternative, and its resources are equal
to the worst. It will endure anything but fruit-
less, protracted, fraudulent negotiations.
