carriage, 'containing part of his Lordship's family, the
lamps of which, glaring on the back of the first vehicle,
it might have been suppoied would have deterred the most
hardened depredators from the attempt, or have caused
instant detection when made.
BURGLARY AT ALTHORP.—During the night
of Monday last the mansion of Earl Spencer was broken
into by thieves. They obtained an entrance by forcing
open the new library window, from which room they took a
valuable time-piece, the case of which was found the fol-
lowing day in the park. Several books were removed from
the shelves, but not a single volUme was taken away. The
thieves must have severely cut themselves in gaining ad-
mittance, as a -number of blood stains were discovered on
the books removed. It is supposed that the depredators
imagined that, having effected an entrance into the library,
they should obtain a range of the whole house, but in this
they were disappointed. Some linen belonging to the ser-
vants, which had been left in the .drying-ground, was also
taken away. As there is a watchman constantly on the
premises, it is supposed they were disturbed, or property to
a larger amount would have been stolen. We understand
that a clue has been discovered, which will in all proba-
bility lead to the apprehension of the offenders.—Yorth-
anipton Herald.
THE O'CONNELL ANNUITY.—At a meeting on
Friday it was stated by the Chairman, " that the sum of
money contributed for the purpose of defraying the ex-
penses of the Dublin election commission, amounting to
2,3001., was now utterly exhausted by the expenses of this
contest with the Tory candidates. Mr. O'Connell had
paid 900/. in London out of his own private purse for the
same object, and he had authorized him (Mr. Finn) to
state, that he will not call on the citizens of Dublin for
the purpose of carrying on the commission, but pay all out
of his own pocket. The weekly expenses of the commis-
sion were hitherto very enormous, amounting to 601. a week,
and now that the sitting members were on their defence,
they would be considerably increased.—Dublin Evening
Post.
GRAND OPERA AT PARIS.—A Mutante has
appeared at this theatre, who promises, if there be any
forming an opinion from ,the brilliant success of a first at-
tempt, to be one of the most distinguished ornaments of
this theatre, rich as it is in talent. The character chosen
by Mdlle. Flccheux (such is the name of this young lady)
for her appearance was Alice, in Robert le Diable, a part
in which it will be remembered that Mdlle. Falcon first
introduced herself to the favourable notice of the public.
Her acting, though not without a certain grace, was wholly
secondary to her singing, which displayed throughout
powers of the first order, uniting taste, volume, and flexibi-
lity, to an extent rarely indeed found in a debutante. At
the close of the opera the audience, with one voice, de-
manded her re-appearance: M. Bordogni, one of the ablest
vocal instructors in Europe, has the credit of having formed
the style of this young lady.
DEATH OF MR. BEARDSWORTH.—Mr. Beards-
worth, of Birmingham, the proprietor of the winner of the
St. Leger, Birmingham, and several other first-rate horses,
died at Birmingham last week, after a short illness. His in-
disposition is said to have been aggravated by an extent
Navin;; been put into his premises for post-horse duty,
amounting to 7,0001. All his property will be brought to
the hammer, but it is expected more than 20s. in the pound
will be realized. He has left two unmarried daughters, and
a third is married to a gentleman named Bird. Mr. Beards-
worth had a great many cups, which he won during his turf
Career. He was of humble
IMPRISONMENT FOR MINISTER'S STIPEND.—
Thomas Henderson, 84, Canongate, Edinburgh, an old sol-
dier, and occupying a house rented at the small sum of 31., was
imprisoned in Canongate Jail, for eight shillings andjburpenee
of minister's stipend and poor's money, and expenses. This
act of Christian benevolence took place on Bth October
last ; and the situation of this poor man having been repre-
sented to the committee appointed to apply the surplus
funds of the O'Connell Festival, they at once ordered pay-
ment of this cruel exaction, and Henderson was liberated
on the 17th ult., having been nine days in confinement.
Henderson had been regularly relieved of this exaction for
the last nine years ; but he had this year omitted to go
through the form of presenting a petition to the humane
manager of the district.
BELFAST :AND LISURN RAILWAY.—It will
be seen that this important undertaking is about to be pro-
ceeded with in good earnest.
RAILWAYS.—The LiVerpool and Manchester rail-
way, which is about 31 miles in length, has 20 miles 15
chains level, or equivalent to level, 6 miles and a-half rising
6 feet per mile, 3 miles rising 55 feet in a mile, and 1 mile
10 chains rising 110 feet per mile ; the last named gradient

chains level, 2 miles 41 chains rising from 171 to 21 feet
per mile, and 4 miles 16 chains rising from 30 to 35 feet
per mile. The Preston and Wigan railway„ which is now
iri course of formation, has 2 miles and a quarter rising 8
feet in a mile, 9 miles and a quarter rising about 13 feet per
mile, and nearly 4 miles rising 44 and 46 feet per mile.
The grand junction line, which extends from the Birming-
ham railway to Warrington, has 13 miles 24 chains level,
or equivalent to level, 19 miles 31 chains rising from 5. to
10 feet per mile, 27 miles 16 chains rising from 10 to 16
feet in a mile, 2 miles 50 chains rising 17 feet per mile, 11
miles 46 chains rising 22 feet per mile. The Warrington
and Newton railway, which connects the grand junction
with the Liverpool and Manchester railway, has 3 miles 1
chain level, or equivalent to level, and 2 miles and a half
rising from 5 to 8 feet per mile.
On Thursday, a gentleman, named Robinson, Un-
dertook, for a wager of five hundred pounds, to row from
London bridge to Erith mid back. a distance of about forty
miles, in five hours and a half. He also took the odds to a
large amount that he would finish the match in five hours.
He started at seventeen minutes past six in the morning,
and reached Erith in two hours, twenty-four minutes, and
thirty seconds, notwithstanding the wind was rather fresh
against him. On return he encountered much danger from
the swell by the various ,steamers, but he ultimately accom-
plished his task in fifteen minutes thirty seconds under the
five hours, thus winning all his bets. He rowed throughout
in the most spirited manner, and -was heartily cheered on
his arrival by a number of gentlemen who had accompanied
him in a steam-boat, He afterwards rowed up to West-
minster-bridge, to determine a bye bet, Nearly 2,000/. was
won and lost by the 'Mitch.
