DESPERATE lIIGBWAY ROBBERY IN

NORTHUMBERLAND.

On Friday two brothers named Cramond, and
two women, the wife and daughter of one of the
men, were brought before Captain Selby, R•IVI
one of the county magistrates at Alnwick, charged
with committing a highway robbery upon Mr. R.
Carr, a farmer living at Ditchburn white that gen-
tleman was returning from Alnwick fair, on Tues-
day night. It seems that Mr. Carr bad overtaken
the Cramonds, who are
" muggers," and commenced
to talk to them. While the party were going along
the road, which is rather lonely, a young man
named Williamson, belonging to Hul me Park,came
up close behind, but unknown to the Cram:Hide,
guage towards Mr. Carr, and in-
and heard them, amongst themselves, making use

shorty distance, for assist-

assist-
ance, and without delay returned. to the road, ac-
companied by Michael Gibson, a powerful
man, his father, and others. When young
the
the road, which they did at a y reached
different point from
that where Williamson had left the party, they
found Mr. Carr had been knocked from his horse,
and was lying on the ground insensible, with one
of the men and one
striking him. of the women upon him, and
cudgel with him, Gibson, who had brought a stout
on
seeing
the position of affairs,
immediately aimed a blow at the man who was
upon Mr. Carr, b
the woman, but it missed him, and alighted on
putting
her hers do combat, and he
then repeated the process upon the man with like
effect. In the meanwhile the other man and woman,
seeing the
complexion which affairs had assumed,
Mere attempting to escape with the carts, but were
pursued and speedily overtaken by Gibson, who
threatened to apply the same treatment to them, if
they did not stop, as he had done to the others..
They thereupon surrendered at discretion, and thei
whole four were made prisoners. Mr. Carr was
removed, still insensible, to the White House, his
wounds attended to, and a surgeon sent for to Alu
wick. When the latter arrived he found Mr. Carr
had recovered his consciousness, but was sufferin4
from a severe contused wound in the temple (whic'
had been inflicted previous to his being dragge
from his horse), and other injuries in different part •
of his body. Mr. Carr, as has before been state
had been at Alnwick fair, where he had sold a quay,
tity of stock, but fortunately had deposited the pit'
chase-money in the bank, except £2B, which 1•
had retained and put in a bag to meet his ca"
expenditure. This money and bag he had in
possession when attacked, but it is now missing, 8.?
though strict search has been made in the cid=
of the attack, it has not sa far been found, az
.
whether the man and woman who were attemptin
to escape with the carts had succeeded in disposin
of it is not known. The police who were sent fo
were quickly on the spot, and the four prisoner
were handed over to them. who brought them t,
Alnwick, and lodged them in the Correction House
As Mr. Carr was too ill to attend, the prisoners welt.

LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 9, 1860.

The FIRST OF OCTOBER will ever be a glorious
day in the memories of Southern Italy. The battle
of the 'Volturno will be numbered amongst those,
not very numerous fights, in which a noble cause,
soldierly courage, and consummate generalship
combined to give the victory to a smaller army
over a vastly larger one, fighting, too, with very
great advantages. The probability is that the KING'S
forces nearly, if not quite, doubled those of GARI-
BALDI at each period of the day. The attack began
with 21,000 on GARIBALDI'S 10,000, and by the
time GARIBALDI had brought up 5,000 more, the
Royalists would appear to have brought into action
double that number. We have every reason to be-
lieve that this time, as at Melazzo, GARIBALDI had
determined soldiers to deal with. Part of them
were mercenary Germans, and would fight as pro-
fessional soldiers ; the rest must have been that
portion of the army which had thought its best
chance lay in standing by the KING, and all appear
to have been stimulated by such rewards as Royalty
would offer when the alternatives depending on

victory were, possibly a crown, or certainly
exile. The hitherto supine or timid young
monarch, moreover, himself came forth to
the field of battle and commanded in person.
Had he done the same thing at Naples, probably
GARIBALDI would not have been within that city
yet, _ . .

But the genius of GARIBALDI and the bravery of
his army was more than a match for all. He had
been for some days strengthening his position, in
expectation of some attempt on the part of the
Royalists. His policy, since the defeat of LAMORI-
cIERE, had evidently become that of the defensive,
while awaiting the descent of CIALDINI from the
North, by which the KING would be placed between
two
armies ; the enemy's policy was obviously that
of attacking the armies in detail, the weaker and
nearer first. Besides, if 'FRANCIS 11. could over-
power GARIBALDI, and return to his unwarlike capi-
tal, it would have been too great a violation of non-
intervention for the King of PIEDMONT'S Generals
to have attacked another Monarch in the seat of
his power. Fully aware of all this, and well
informed of all that was going •on
to the north of the Volturno, GARIBALDI spared no
pains to get ready for an attack.
The details are too numerous to be repeated here,
but they will be found in another column, in addi-
tion to those we gave last evening. They show us
GARIBALDI, as the General, to an extent to which
be has never hitherto had an opportunity of display-
ing his abilities. He has never before had to com-
bine operations along such an extended line ; the
chord of the semicircle he had to defend was ten or
eleven miles in length, with almost every variety
of ground ; and the
,semicircle it subtended--a
singular one, mathematicians would say—was, we
are told, three times that length. Yet he seemed
to be everywhere when he was wanted, either to
encourage or to direct ; and his principal assistant:
—MEDIcr, TURR, BIXTO—we find fulfilling their
several parts with a bravery not surpassed by
that of their commapder, and a skill only second to
his. On the patriot side all fought thoroughly
well, except some of the Sicilians, whom their
English
Officers, it would seem, could not keep to
their P°Bition• Others of the " Picciotti," however,
fought as steadily as could be desired, encouraged
by the soldiers of tlatafimi.
The battle Was, indeed, a fiercely. fought one.
The eye-witness, NV. hose letter we gave last night,
had been at iViagent A and Solferino, and fancied he,

was there again. The advanced positions of the
Garibaldians were taken and retaken several times.
Grape mowed down the men unmercifully; no
quarter was asked or given. Attacks and conflicts
beginning with the rifle, ended with the stiletto and
the pistol. One regiment, the 7th or sth Chasseurs
of the Royalists, which had been despatched to aid
in surrounding a part of the Garibaldians, were
themselves, by a very bold move of the General,
surrounded, and, with the exception of thirty-five
men and their General, were annihilated. Till the
reinforcements arrived the utmost the Garibaldians
could do was to hold the more important positions,
and to retreat from the points where they were not
sufficiently strong. The resistance was murderous,
but when about noon 5,000 supports had arrived,
.the tide turned, and the repulse was like a slaugh-
ter. To the last the Royalists fought hard, but
they seem to have been literally forced back, with
fearful loss, by the better personal soldiership of
their less numerous antagonists.

It remains to be seen whether the KING will try
another appeal to blood. His chances must be but
small now. The inferiority of even his picked men
to the volunteers of GARIBALDI is fully proved—
and they have lost 5,000 men at least, killed,
wounded, and prisoners. The moral effect can
hardly fail to be disorganising, especially to an
army fighting in an unpopular cause. And his
Generals know now, if they did not before, that
they, too, have a first-rate commander to meet.
Gaeta may be strong, but it cannot hold out
for ever against an army and a fleet too ;
rather against two armies, for that of CIALDINI
will not longer respect the title of the King of
Naples. Surely the KING himself, well knowing
that no one will defend him and the patrimony of
ST. JANUARIUS, will take his long-looked-for voy-
age to the kindly shores of Spain or Austria. The
sooner he does so the better, for what we may now
call his brave army ; for it has had the credit of
pushing back for a time the GARIBALDIANS them-
sel vee, and to the last proved that it could fight,
when only two to one, against the victorious pa-
triots.

In one thing, all England especially, and all the
worth and liberalism of Europe will rejoice—that
GARIBALDI has resumed a public position from
which no diplomacy can lower him. He still stands
as the first man in Italy—may we not say, the first
man, in action, of all the leaders of Europe at the
present day: A trifling ill-success in arms, a noble
political aspiration, too noble for diplomatic sym-
pathy, brought on him ungenerous censure or
coldness for a moment ; but the hero of the Vol-
turno has obtained a pedestal from which he can-
not be displaced. Moreover, he has given such
evidence of genius for command, that we verily
believe he has the full consciousness in his own
bosom, that, put him in command of his own volun-
teers, and allow him to direct the movements of
the Sardinian army, aid he would sweep the
stolid, stupid Austrians from their famous
Quadrangle. It may be better to wait—but we
believe that GARIBALDI knows in himself that he
could clear Italy of the accursed Tedeschi.

It sounds very much like a quid pro quo, a
ROWLAND for an OLIVER, six and half-a-dozen—
when with an eye askance at the 600,000 soldiers
of France, we hear General PEEL at an agricul-
tural dinner at Huntingdon returning thanks
for the 600,000 defenders of the British Empire,
distributed through those three great divisions of
the public service—the QUEEN'S Army, the Royal
Navy, and the Rifle Volunteers.
Only—one recollects immediately that France
has her 600,000 men concentrated almost within
the solid and compact square of her own dominions,
whereas England has her 600,000 men scattered
far and wide over both hemispheres—

" Far as the breeze can bear the billows foam,
Survey our Empire and behold our home 1
These are our realms, no limits to their sway—
Our flag the sceptre, all who meet obey 1"

Insomuch that the formal title by which her
MAJESTY assumed last year the right of sove-
reignty over the peninsula of Hindostan with its
200,000,000 inhabitants was nothing less magnifi-
cently imperial, yet strictly and literally nothing
more than the simple truth without one particle
of exaggeration than that of " VICTORIA by the
Grace of GOD, QUEEN of Great Britain and Ire-
land, and of all the dependencies thereof in Europe,
Asia, Africa, America, and Australasia I"

It is over this world-wide domain that our
600,000 men are scattered, east, west, north, south
over the four continents, and what Sir ARCHIBALD
ALISON has, by a stupendous Scotch bull, called
(in the ninth section of the first chapter of the
Initial Volume of his Continuation of the History
of Europe) the " fifth hemisphere !"
Again, while France has her 600,000 men col-
lected together for the most part within the quad-
rangle of her own immediate frontiers—those
600,000 are only of one branch of the public ser-
vice exclusively, not like our 600,000 of all branches
collectively. The Imperial navy—second only among
the navies of the world to our own—and the National
Guard,' are supplementary to that vast number
of 600,000 SOLDlERS—infantry, cavalry, artillery,
engineers. Whatever the aggregate with us, as
before intimated, as succinctly explained in his
speech by the Ex-Minister for War, is attained by
a combination of all arms united, whether afloat or
ashore, whether military or maritime. One hun-
dred thousand gallant tars and Royal marines—
one hundred thousand pensioners, militiamen, and
yeomanry—one hundred and fifty thousand rifle
volunteers—two hundred and fifty thousand sol-
diers in the Queen's army, including those in her
Majesty's regular army, the troops hitherto owning
allegiance to John Company in Hindostan. It is
a total, therefore, attained only by a most compre-
hensive effort at numerical combination, only we
might venture to add by a somewhat forced and
over-strained computation. Such as it is, how-
ever, there is the undeniable fact that England has
her aggregate of defenders to the number of
600,000—army, navy, marines, militia, yeomanry
and volunteers.

What is—" Vexing and troubling a Vicar.?"

it laughing while he turns his back onthesepremoponle;,
or says eloquently unpopular things in his
or is it reading the responses a great deal louder
than he reads; or is it uttering unearthly sounds
during service with a ventriloquism, or in such num-
bers, as to defy detection ; or is it in these and num-
berless other ways to make a church too hot for his
vicarship ? To these questions all of us—Church-
man and Dissenter, lawyer and layman—would
give but one answer ; and though we might
think the vicar a bigot, a fool, or a hypocrite,
as the case might be, we should join in protect-
ing him from being so " vexed and troubled."
We should not think that the way to deal with
vicars even if they too well deserved this sort of
lynching.

But something quite different has been decided
to be " indecent behaviour"—so indecent as to
amount to " Vexing and troubling a Vicar." We
believe not one in a hundred or a thousand of our
readers would even guess what it was—nor, if told,
would believe that any mortal,weak-headed enough
to be troubled by it, could be the State Church ec-
clesiastical representative of a parish. The indecency

which so vexed itid troubled the Rev. EDWARD POTE
NEALE, Vicar of Horsey, Norfolk, was the singing
of two or three verses of a confessedly suitable
hymn over the grave of an infant of eight months
old! A bench of county justice; at least one-half
of them Reverends themselves, has so decided.
With an ecclesiastical unctuousness, reminding us
strongly of the old inquisitors, who mercifully
buried bodies for the good of souls—the Rev.
EDWARD POTE NEALE begged the bench, indeed,
not to inflict more than a nominal fine; but the Vicar
of Horsey well knew that the poor man and woman
must also pay 13s, each for expenses ; and all for
the indecency of singing two verses of a hymn,
which, as our readers may have seen in yesterday's
Sun, were as befitting the occasion as they well
could be.

But surely there must be something behind.
Yes, there is. The poor °people appear to belong
to those pariahs of the religious world—the Primi-
tive Methodists. A body of persons who, if they
have not received a grammar-school and university
education, have yet, in some places, been so use-
ful among those of their neighbours, whom no
clergyman reaches, that two landlords, whom we
happen to know, gave them ground for building
their little chapels, and readily added pecu-
niary aid, on account of the good effect of their
teaching on the agricultural labourers. We doubt
not the vicars of those parishes were much vexed
and troubled by the deeds of these landlords. The
landlords, however, wanted the parish labourers
kept from drunkenness and poaching, and they
found that these " Primitives," be their dialect
what it might, were a better spiritual police than
his Reverence the Vicar.

The poor woman's child died very young. It had
not been baptised; the Vicar knew it. He posted
off to the woman's house to tell her that though
the SAVIOUR said, "of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven," he could not read over it tho service
by which he sends to that kingdom all the blas-
phemers, atheists, and drunkards he inters. Some
conversation followed, which is differently related
by the woman and the Vicar, but the upshot was the
poor people prayed to their GOD outside the church
wall, and probably meant to do no more. When
however, they got to the grave, to their feelings it
seemed like burying a dog or a cat, if nothing re-
ligious were done. They sung the verses. The
Vicar, on the watch, it seems, came up and told
them it annoyed him ! They, probably, did not
even comprehend him, as indeed we cannot. So
he brings them before the Smallburgh bench of
Justices.

The case was ably defended by Mr. TILLETT, the
Mayor of Norwich, and notice ultimately given of
appeal. Certainly if the magistrates be right it will
be a singular abuse of an Act passed only last year
to protect Mr. BRYAN KING. Little did the majo-
rity of the House of Commons think when they voted
for it, that two poor godly Methodists could be
convicted under it, not of disturbing service or
worship, not of insulting and maltreating any
clergymen, but of singing devoutly in the parish
churchyard, for the consolation of mourning
parents, and when no person was near who could
be interrupted by them. If the magistrates are
right, the House of Commons, at least, had no
thought of putting such a weapon into the hands
of perverse vicars.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge

MURDEROUS ATTACK AT LEEDS.—A shocking
crime was committed at the village of New Wortley, in the
borough of Leeds, on Monday morning. A few minutes
before five o'clock, a man named Stephen Lupton, a grocer
and provision dealer, who also sells some descriptions of
drugs, was awakened by hearing a knocking at the outer
door of his house. The bedroom in which he slept was
over his shop, and the shop communicated with his house.
On looking out of the window he saw a neighbour at the
door, a man named John Kenworthy. Lupton asked him
what he wanted, and Kenworthy replied, " Some castor
oil," whereupon the former slipped on his stockings, shirt,
and trousers, went downstairs, and let the man into the
house. Lupton left Kenworthy in the house and pro-
ceeded into the shop, taking with him a lighted candle,
which he held in his hand. The fellow had previously
given him a bottle, and, after pouring two ounces of castor
oil into it, he returned with it into the house. Kenworthy,
after receiving the bottle, asked for several other articles,
which were placed on a chair, and he then asked what the
price of them all amounted to. Lupton turned to reckon
their value, and, as ho was engaged in doing so with his
back to Kenwerthy, the coward felled him to the ground
by a heavy blow on the crown of the head. Lupton imme-
diately tried to spring to his feet, but, before he could do
so, he received another blow on the crown of the head. He
managed, however, to get hold of the prisoner, and strug-
gled with him as well as he could. Lupton succeeded in
alarming the neighbours. He has received dangerous
injuries, which were inflicted with a hatchet. The motive
for the attack is not known. It doss not appear that Ken-
worthy's object was plunder. He was brought up at the
Town-hall, Leeds, and remanded till Wednesday. He is
