Mr. Burchaw, charged with burglarionely entering the
dwelling-honse of Mrs. Isabella Gibbs, No. 2, Little
Ryder-street, St. James's, and stealing therefrom a
quantity of silver plate of the value of 121.
Police-constable 111 C stated that about a quarter
past five this morning he was passing along Little Ryder-
street, and when be had got about ten yards from No.
2, he heard a noise as if some person was trying the lock
of the door. He at once turned hack, and saw the
prisoner let himself out of No. 2, and run away in the
direction of Bennet-street. He ran after him, and
caught him in Bury-street, and collared him, and said he
wanted him to go hack with him to Ryder-street. The
prisoner refused, and wanted to knew what he wanted
with him, as he had only just come from Westminster
Witness told him what he wanted him for, when he denied
even going into any house at all, or coming out of one.
He then took him back to No. 2, Ryder-street, and
knocked at the door. A woman opened the door, and
let him in, and in the passage, behind the door, he found
the basket of plate produced. On searching the prisoner
a latch-key and a pocket-book was found upon him, and
in the area of No. 10, close by where he stopped him,
a roll of wax taper was found. The prisoner was then
conveyed to the station-house.
The prosecutrix stated that site retired to rest at
about half-past eleven last night, at which time all was
safe. At one o'clock, a gentleman, one of the lodgers
came in, and secured the door after him. At five this
morning she was awoke by a man, and on waking up,
saw the bask of a man standing near a chest of drawers,
on which stood the basket of plate produced. She
immediately got up, and the man rushed out of the
room, and down stairs, out of the front door into the
street. She followed as quickly as she could, and called
out " Police." A constable stopped the prisoner and
brought him back. She was confident he was the
man, as she saw his face by the gas-lamp on the door.
The basket contained 22 silver spoons, 2 salt cellars, 2
cream ewers, and other articles of the value of 121.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded
for a week.

THE CRISIS IN BELGIUM.

The Independence Beige of yesterday, says :
" The Ministerial crisis has undergone no change.
M. Charles Rogier is expected this evening at Brur-
sels from Paris. It appears that M. de Brouckere
has actually undertaken the task of forming a
Ministry. It is said this will be purely a working
Ministry,' and intended merely to carry on Govern-
ment in the interval to the elections, which will
take place in June, 1858. The names of the future
Cabinet are also given. They are—M. 11. de
Brouckere, Foreign Affairs ; Liedts, Interior ;
Faider, Justice ; Quoilin, Finance ; Renard,
War."

According to letters from Constanqnople, M.
Thouvenel appeared determined to abstain from
personal relations with the new Grand Vizier,
though still continuing his good understanding with
ARE Pacha, the Minister for Foreign Affairs."

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

M. Thllault, Minister of the Interior, has by
Imperial decree been charged with the ad interim
administration of the department of justice during
the absence of M. Abbatucci.

The Bourse has been verb► unsettled, and specu-
latore still continue under apprehensions about the
measures which the Banks of England and France
may adopt in order to protect their bullion. It has
been report: d that 80 millions of fraucs in English
bills, and 40 millions i❑ French bills on the United
States have been returned protested.
A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels
says :

"A Papal bull, giving a canonical institution
to the Faculty of Theology of Paris, to the Sor-
bonne, and to eight other Faculties in France, will,
it is said, be shortly promulgated. A non-official
copy of this document has been sent to the French Go-
vernment, in order that it may be aware of its contents.
Among the cinditions laid down for the institution of
these faculties of theology is that of the renunciation by
France of the four articles of 1682. Ido not think that
the French Government will ever consent to accept the
bull with such a clause. There must be a particular ne-
gotiation on that point, or the Sovereign Pontiff will be
requested to suppress a condition which is humiliating
for the Church of France."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 31st ult. state that
rumours of a Ministerial crisis had already begun
to be circulated, and were credited in certain quar-
ters. The crisis, according to some persons, was
caused by the determination of M. Martinez de la
Rosa and M. Bermudez de Castro to resign the
portfolios of Foreign Affairs and of the Interior ;
according to others, by the refusal of the Queen
sign decrees nominating General Joaquin Armero
Director-General of Cavalry, General Echague,
Captain-General of Granada ; Oaneral Res de
Olano, Director of Artillery ; and General Mira-
sol, Director of Infantry. Others, again, state
that it was occasioned by dissensions amongst the
Ministers about questions of finance. The Espana,
a semi- official organ, declares, however, that "for
the present the rumours possess no importance,"
and that "it oaly mentions them to satisfy the en-
riostty of its readers." The Clamor P ablico had
been seized. The Queen, having entered the last
month of her pregnancy, had commenced a series
of visits to nine churches, her first being to Santa
Maria, to worship the image of the Virgin of Al-
mudena. The report drawn up by the advocates
of Queen Christina, in answer to the accusations
brought again, t her in the partiamcntary investiga-
tion to which her acts were recently subjected, was
about to be published. It was believed that the
state of siege of Seville would be shortly raised.

A letter from Vienna affirms that a change has
taken place iu the views of the Prussian govern-
ment relative to the question of the Danubian
priucipalities. The Zcit of Berlin, which is looked
on as the organ of the government, publiskes in
its last number an article declaring that the only
real requirements of the principalities we-re a
regulation of the conditions of landed property,
and an improvement in the organic laws.

"Mo3t of the German States," says a letter
from Berlin, "have notified IT telegraph to our
govertim nt that they adhere to the measure.; pro-
jected by Prussia and Austria in the Holstein
question."

According to the Pestl6 Lloyd, there have been
no fewer than 105 bankruptcies in Vienna during
the last two months. Throe or four firms of minor
importance suspended their payments on the Ist.

The father of Vogel, the African traveller, has
just re:;eived a letter from the English Consul at
Tripoli, stating that the death of his son is not con-
firmed.

A despatch from Lisbon announces that the
number of cases of cholera is less considerable, but
that the proportion of fatal results is increased.

A subscription has been opened at Turin for the
sufferers by the Indian mutiny, to which King
Victor Emmanuel hae contributed 10,000 fr.

culation of those banks during the past month, viz.:—

Private banks
Joint-stock banks

... £3,590,317
... 3,035,481

266,876
issues

Total below the fixed issue £1,X33,936

Average circulation of the Irish banks £6,496,791
Average circulation of the Scotch banks 4,051,239

Average circulation during past month ...£10,548,033

On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the
several banks, as given in the Banking Almanac, the
following appears to be the state of the circulation :
The Irish banks are above their fixed issue £142,300
The Scotch banks are above their fixed issue 964,030

Total above the fined issue...

X 1,106,330

follows :

Gold and silver held by the Irish banks £2,270,452

The above statements complete the returns of the cir-
culation in England, Scotland, and Ireland for the month
ending the 26th of Sept.
These returns, combined with the average circulation
of the Bank of England for the same period, will give
the following results of the circulation of notes in the
United Kingdom, when compared with the previous
month :

policy had been in force ; and the bonuses ranged in like manner
from 50 to 75 per cent. on the amount of premiums received during
the preceding five years.
The next DIVISION will be made up to the 20th November, 1857.
Members whose premiums fall due on the Ist Oct. are reminded
that the same must be paid within 30 days from that date.

SWEDEN.

The Svenska Tidning of Stockholm, the semi-
official organ of the Swedish Government, con-
tainß, in its number of the 28th ult., an article
which warmly defends the Danish Government
against the two great German Powers, and which
declares that it is necessary to unite closely the
effortsof the three Scandinavian kingdoms, in order
to resist energetically the intervention of the Ger•
manic Confederation in the internal affairs of a
country which is subjected to the sceptre of an in-
dependent kingdom. " This article," says a letter
from Stockholm, " has caused a great sensation, as
the belief is that it has ben approved of by the
Government, and that it expresses the views of
the Prince Regent with regard to the relations of
the United Kingdoms with Germany."

ESCAPE OF Two CONVICTS FROM A RAILWAY TRAIN.*
—About ore o'clock on Tuesday morning, as a number
of convicts were being conveyed from Glasgow to Lee:
don by the mail train which left the former city at 12
minutes past eight o'clock on Monday evening, during
the few moments the train stormed at Penrith Station,
at the time named two of their i u nber, although chained
together in the ordinary way, managed to escape hi
jumping out of the carriage •t, the off side. Just before
the train started the persons in charge of the convicts
missed the two men, and instantly gave the alarro.
Several persons were despatched in different direction
in search of the men, while others made a minute exami-
nation of the premises connected with the railway, dur-
g which they found, not the convicts, but the chains
by which they had been pinioned together. Des Pita
ihe most vigilant search throughout the whole of the
day
nothing twee either seen or beard of the nriseill
convicte. We are informed, on authority, that sever;
other convicts afterwards attempted to follow their 110_
liberated companions, but they were prevented by U.llm
authorities.

"The unheaTd of misfortunes which have lately fallen
upon the Christians of British India having come to
our knowledge, and observing also the general sympathy
which these misfortunes have produced among the inha-
bitants of the kingdom, who are not only moved by a
spirit of philanthropy and Christian charity, but also
by that feeling of profound gratitude which they enter-
tain to% ards England for the noble aid she gave them
during the war of independence, we, at the proposition
of our Minister of the Interior, have decided that the
Nomarchs be ordered to open subscription lists through-
oat the country in favour of the victims of this barbar-
ous mutiny, and after having coilycted the amount, they
will forward the sum to the office of the Home Depart-
ment. Our Minister of the Interior is charged with the

SWEDEN.

The Svenska-Tidning of Stockholm, the semi-
official organ of the Swedish Government, con-
tains, in its number of the 28th ult., an article
which warmly defends the Danish Government
against the two great German Powers, and which
declares that it is necessary to unite closely the
efforts of the three Scandinavian kingdoms, in order
to resist energetically the intervention of the 'Ger-
manic Confederation in the internal affairs of a
country which is subjected to the sceptre of an in-
dependent kingdom. " This article," says a letter
from Stockholm, " has caused a great sensation, as
the belief is that it has been approved of by the
Government, and that it expresses the views of
the Prince Regent with regard to the relations of
the United Kingdoms with Germany."
