HASTINGS.—During the stay of their Royal High-
nesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria in this
delightful part of the country, they appeared to feel a lively
interest in the extensive improvements now in progress be-
tween Hastings and St. Leonard's, where a grand parade is
forming, 4,000 feet in length and 50 feet wide. A new square
is also formed on a splendid scale, being nearly 100 feet wider
than Sussex-square, Kemp-town, Brighton ; and a crescent
will be formed on the north side of the square of proportionate
extent. It has hitherto been a matter of reproach to Hastings,
that a town so healthy, so delightfully situated, and so much
resorted to by rank and fashion, should afford so little accom-
modation in the way of houses adapted for the permanent re-
sidence of respectable families ; but as the intended improve-
xneuts will supply the deficiency, there is no doubt it will
rapidly rise in importance.

On Saturday, Mrs. Henrietta Johnson, the lady of
T. H. Johnson, Esq., of Bristol, who for the last three weeks
has been on a visit to Captain Anderson, in Seymour-street,
was proceeding along the Edgeware-road, with her eldest
daughter, aged 15, and her livery-servant, in a four-wheeled
pony phaeton, when a drunken cabman drove up with his
cab. Before Mrs. Johnson Could turn to one side a concus-
sion took place, by which the young lady and servant were
both thrown out. The former was taken up senseless, and on
being conveyed home her skull was found to be fractured and
her right shoulder dislocated. She, of course, continues in
great danger. The servant escaped with a few bruises. Un-
fortunately, the confusion at the time of the accident enabled
the cabman to get clear off, and the number of his vehicle is
unknown.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS, &C.--A
robbery was discovered yestei day morning to a very consider-
able amount. In the bonded warehouses of Messrs. Hall and
Co., near the Custom-house, were deposited diamonds and
other precious stones and jewellery of considerable value, and
everything was left apparently safe on Saturday last ; but on
the premises being opened yesterday for business, it was dis-
covered that the depository of the gems and other property of
value had been broken open, aed precious stones taken away
worth between 5,0001. and 6,0001. It is stated that a portion
of the diamonds were the property of the late Don Pedro. It
is believed that the thieves must have been locked up in the
warehouses at the legal quay above stated on Saturday night,
and that they remained all Sunday in them, and made their
escape with great difficulty on Sunday night. They appear
to have enjoyed themselves while in the warehouses. The
most active measures have been adopted for the purpose of
apprehending the delinquents.

TIMBER DUT I ES.—The following reply has been
received from Sir Robert Peel, in answer to a memorial for-
warded from several merchants, shipowners, and others of

duties. The memorial was transmitted through Mr. Carru-
thers : " Whitehall-gardens, Feb. 5.

" Sir,—l request that you will assure the gentlemen whose
memorial you have transmitted to me, that the subject to

THE CASE OP JOSEPH ADY.—The sentence

munity he was, during the early portion of his life, an influ-
ential member. On Saturday afternoon a deputation, headed
