EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT GLASGOW.—On Monday
a robbery, to the amount of upwards of £9OO, was reported
at the Glasgow Police-office. The unfortunate, who is from
Art Glasgow, stated that his partner in business had
handed over to him a sum of £928, which had been drawn
from the National Bank at Greenock on Saturday for the
purpose of paying a composition to the creditors of the firm.
After receiving the money, he had allowed himself to be
inveigled into a house of ill-fame in High-street, where he
was robbed of the whole of the money.. Two men and a
woman are in custody.
[ADVERTISEMENT]—HoIIows Ointment and Pills.—
Hooping Cough.—Every nurse thinks she knows a remedy
for this complaint, but unfortunately the bills of mortality
show them to be fallible. The late Dr. Thompson always
recommended sufferers from hooping cough to be kelt
warm, fed on a milk and ;vegetable diet, and rubbed well
on the spine and pit of the stomach with Holloway's Oint-
ment three times a day ; wearing flannel next the skin.
No treatment is so safe, speedy, and efficient,, no case
can resist it, and no ill consequences ever result from it.
The cough continuing from habit after the disease declines,
is readily and radically removed by Holloway's prepara-
tions, which act more like magic than medicine in every
I stage of this tiresome disease.

A letter from Rome of the 15th contains an ac-
count of another daring act of brigandage. It says :
"The extension of railways in the dominions of
his Holiness will present to travellers the advantage
of approaching the Eternal City without being
subject to the onslaughts of brigands as much as
is, unfortunately, the case just now, when bad
roads, tedious hills, and solitary wastes invite out-
laws to lay violent hands upon straggling vetturino
vehicles or ponderous family carriages.
" A specimen of this disagreeable kind of excite-
ment was experienced on Wednesday last by Mr.
and Mrs. Robertson, who were travelling to Rome
with post-horses, and had arrived at their last day's
journey, at the town of Viterbo, on the preceding
evening. The postilion who drove them out of that
town was probably in league with the robbers, for
he was observed to pull up his horses at a lonely
spot of the forest which covers the mountains of
Viterbo, and immediately afterwards fie men
rushed out of the brushwood, armed with guns and
the usual complement of small weapono; and wear-
ing black veils over their faces. These worthies
lost no time in opening the carriage door, and were
proceeding to drag out the travellers, commencing
with the gentleman, but Mrs. Robertson, who has
a perfect command of the Italian language, re-
proached them in such powerful terms for their
audacity in venturing to lay violent hands upon a
lady, that they finally desisted from their project of
dragging her out also, and by that means she was
able to preserve her jewel•box, upon which she sat
whilst the -brigands turned_ up the cushions, exa-
mined the pockets, and searched the interior of the
carriage. Mrs. Robertson, with admirable presence
mind, had received her husband's purse from him
whilst he was beini, pulled out of the carriage, and.
had taken out the chief part of the gold it con-
tained, so that when it was handed over to the
brigands with its silver and small change it was not
worth much more than a couple of napoleons.
"The robbers having made sure of Mr. Robert-
son's man-servant and maid the latter being
infinitely more alarmed than her mistress—pro-
ceeded to undo the luggage on the imperial, but
their scrutiny of that indispensable appendage to a
travelling carriage was interrupted by the unwel-
come intelligence, communicated to them by Mrs.
Robertson, to the effect that they had better be
quick in their operations, as a party of gendarmes
were at a short distance behind, and would soon
appear in sight. This was perfectly true, as the
travellers had passed the gendarmes a little time
before, escorting a cartful of prisoners towards
Rome. The news of their vicinity rendered the
brigands nervous ; they detached one of their
number to a neighbouring eminence, to keep a
look-out on the approaching enemy, and soon after
abandoned their plunder on the high road, to seek
the safer shade of the forest, leaving the well
satisfied travellers to continue their journey to
Rome, where they arrived the same evening with-
out further inconvenience, the attack having taken
place about oight o'clock in the morning. A report
of the occurrence having been made to the British
representative on the following day, Mr. Odo
Russell proceeded to the Vatican to narrate the
affair to Cardinal Antonelli. His eminence ex-
pressed his regret at the reappearance of brigand-
age so near the capital, and gave immediate orders
for patrols of dragoons and gendarmes to be sent in
search of the offenders."
