MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A GENTLEMAN'S COACHMAN.
—James 111ackinder, a coachman in the service of Thos.
Albert Gladstone, E. 1., of Gunnesbury, Middlesex, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with
stealing the sum of 1301. in bank notes, the property
of his master.
The prosecutor deposed that the prisoner had been in
his service for about seven weeks. On Wednesday, the
23d inst., understanding that a Mr. Fickling, a horse
dealer, had a pair of bellies which would just suit him,
to dispose of at Aldridge's, in St. Martin's-lane, he gave
him 130/. in bank-notes, with directions to proceed
there, and endeavour to purchase them at that price‘..
This was about 12 o'clock at noon, aod in the course
of events the prisoner ought to have been home with
the horses during the afternoon. The prisoner, however,
never returned, but absconded with the money, and
prosecutor saw no more of him till he was in custody.
In reply to Mr. Beadon the prosecutor said he re-
ceived a very good character with the prisoner from his
ooacbmaker to who'n he (prisoner) was well known.
Police-constable 300 A, said from information be had
received, he went I,st night to Langlsam's public-house,
in Ca•tle-street, Leicester-square, and on entering the
parlour saw the prisoner there. He accosted him by
name, and requested him to come out, as he wanted to
speak with him. The prisoner said his name was not
Nlackinder. Witness told him it was no use his denying
his name, and that he must consider himself in custody
for stealing 1301. belonging to his master. The prisoner,
who was in liquor, laughed and said he only stepped it
with some money his master had given him to purchase
horse- with. Witness subsequently searched him, and
found 301 in notes, and 191. 10i. in gold upon him.
John Pickling, horse-dealer, Norfolk, yard, Bayswater,
proved that, on the 23d inst., he had a pair of horses for
sale at Aldridge's, St. Martin's-lane. He saw the pri-
soner there, who told him he was authorised to purchase
them by his master for 1301. The horses were, how-
ever, bought in ; but at a subsequent period of the day,
the prisoner offered him 1351. for them, shich he agreed
to take. The prisoner said he had got the money to
pay for them, and would meet him in about half-an-hour
and give him the amount. The prisoner never returned,
and he saw no more of him till this morning.
The prisoner, in defence, said he got very drunk and
lost all the money.
Committed for trial.

RUSSIAN RAILWAYS.

Recent financial advices from Russia furnish
some interesting particulars. It is said the total of I
bullion in the fortress of St. Petersburg and at Mos-
cow exceeds 20,000,0001. On the other hand, the
paper circulation is estimated at nes rly 120,000,0001.
and the rate of exchange continues at a point that
must involve great loss to all who have to make
foreign payments. Practically, the currency is in-
convertible, since the Government allow only very
small quantities to be exchanged for gold, although
occasionally, when the depreciation, as measured by
the rate of exchange, threatens to go on too rapidly
they allow certain defined amoants to be shipped
by the leading bankers. With regard to the grand
railway scheme, of which, according to report, the
English public may expect to hear more the mo-
ment they may be again disposed to get rid of their
money upon any invitation, the latest particulars
are as follows :—The company have about 4,000
versts of line to construct in 10 years, at a cost of
about 45,000,0001. Their first issue was about
12,500,0001. Of this they retained one-fourth for
Russia, on which 371 roubles was required as a
first instalment on each share of 125 roubles. When
the Government reduced the rate of interest on
Bank deposits, on the Ist October last, from 4 per
cent. to 3 per cent., the directors took the oppor-
tunity of offering 5 per cent. on all payments in
full, and of this the shareholders readily availed
themselves. At the present moment, therefore,
about 96,000 out of the the 150,000 shares rest rv. d
for Russia have been entirely paid up. Of the
shares issued in other countries only a small pro-
portion have been paid in full. On the Warsaw
line the road is finished for about 120 versts, and
the distance has been performed in two hours and
a-half. Only the Imperial family, however. have
as yet travelled on it, the opening to the public
being delayed f:s usual by all kinds of difficulties.
It was now expected to take place in a few days.
In the meantime two goods trains were being inn
daily, the receipts of which were about 1,0001. per
week. The company have a numerous staff of
French engineers at Moscow, and in the south,
making surveys ; and the Russian engineers are
alleged to bit very indignant at their being set aside.
The present price at St. Petersburg of a share of
125 roubles is 3 premium, but in Poland they have
been far from popular. The affairs of the Riga and
Dunaburg Company are said to be making progress
but slowly. The Government have accepted their
caution money of about 100,0001. The concession
is not yet signed, a multitude of obstacles being
raised on trifling points, but which wore expected
soon to be adjusted.

THE EAST.

According to advices of the 24th instant, from
the Turkish frontiers, the conflict between the
Turks and Christians near the monastery of Duzi
lasted from three in the morning until late in the
evening. Bialitz, a village belonging to the friars,
was taken by the Turks, and on the whole it ap-
peared that the rayahs were worsted. There was no
fighting on the 24th, and it was evident that both
parties were waiting for reinforcements. It is said

that among the persons who fought against the
Turks was the Voivode of Grahovo. It is believed
in Vienna that the Turks will speedily restore order
in the Herzegovine, but a person, who must be
well informed of what is going on in the Euro-
pean province of the Turkish empire, states that
the Porte has very few regular troops in the
Herzegovina and Bosnia. About five years ago
Omar Pasha disarmed the Christians in the two
provinvs mentioned, but great quantities of arms
have recently been purchased in the bazaars at Con-
stantinople, and it is not improbable that they have
been sent into Bulgaria and the other Sciavonic
provinces of Turkey. Of Prince Daniel of Monte-
negro nothing more is known than that he is
"very flush" of cash just now. Whether he got
it from Russia or from France, or from both
Powers, is not known. We learn by a telegram
from Varna that the crew of the Pharamond,
which was not long since wrecked on the Bulgarian
coast, near Mongolia, has returned to France in
the Carmel. It took Pix days to s: cure the lading
of the Pharamond, which was expected to go to
pieces in a few dPys. Not long since Ali Pasha of
Monastir made a razzia in the Lower Dibra, which
enjoys a singularly bad reputation, and carried off
300 prisoners, of whom about 150 (1) were said to
be Beys. The cholera is very violent at Bagdad.

SWITZERLAND.

Ths Swiss Federal Assembly closed its sittings on
the 23d. Its short session has had the result of
putting an end to the dispute which had arisen be-
tween the!cen trad authority and the canton of Vaud,
and which had at one' time assumed a very serious
character.

A letter from Rome of the 24th inst. informs us
that the perpetrators of tne late highway robbery
committed on British subjects travelling in a post
carriage between Civita Vecchia, and Ronne have
been discovered.

ordered for embarkation, we now give a complete
list of the officers and troops who proceeded from
Chatham yesterday :-18th Royal Irish, Lieut. E.
L. Dillon and 116 non-commissioned officers and
men ; 51st Light Infantry, Ensign E. M. Crowe

landed her troops without a single case of sickness
having occurred among them during the voyage ;
as also did the Lady Jocelyn, another of the com-
pany's steanio:s.

keeping secret the enormously large and productive
business which the bank is doing. It is their duty, aa

A MAN DROWNED IN THE REGENT'S CANAL—INQIITST.
An inquest was bt Id yesterday on the bosly of Frederick
Oliver, aged 29. The deceased was a mechanic, and on
going home early on Thursday morning last, walked on
to an unfenced wharf by the side of the Regent's Canal,
opposite the New Globe Gardens, fell into the water,
and was drowned. The jury returned a verdict of acci-
dental death by walking into the Regent's Canal, which
was accompanied by the following addendum—" That
the jurors cannot separate without expressing their
opinion of the highly dangerous state of that part of the
canal, which ought to-be fenced in for the protection of
human life."

PRUSSIA.

The very unmistakeable signs that have mani-
fested themselves at Charlottenburg of the total
insufficiency of the King's cure, as at present
attained, have compelled a renunciation of all idea
of his resuming power for a long time to come.
It i 3 stated that the King of Prussia and his
si=ter, the Dowager Empress of Russia, will go to
Italy together in the month of. January, but no
guarantee can be given for the correctness of the
report. The Convention between the Riverain
States has not yet been ratified.

A letter from Berlin of the 25th, in the Cologne
Gazette, days :—" M. Zimmermann, the Secretary-
General of Hanover, who had gone to Frankfort for
the affair of the Duchies, stopped here on his re-
turn to Hanover, and had a conference on the'sub-
ject with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Three
new failures have just been announced here, which
brings up the number since the commencement of
the crisis to 82. Money is abundant, in conse-
quence of no business going on in merchandise."

LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 29, 1857.

Were it not for the brilliant triumphs at Luck-
now, the exploits of the column under COTTON,
RIEDEL, &TOWERS, STUART, and the lamented
Colonel GERARD, would have attracted general at-
tention, and received the praise they so eminently
merited. They have, indeed, acted nobly, and
fully maintained the reputation which the British
troops had achieved in all quarters since the com-
mencement of the series of mutinies and the re-
bellion which followed. It was in Rohilcund that
the force under Colonel COTTON was orwrating.
At the close of October they had captured Futteli-
pore Sikree, a place described az, " thrice the s.ze
of Agra," and therefore necessarily an important
position. From thence they reached Muttra on
the lot November, and after a day's march of 20
miles, under all the difficulties of an eae.ern sun,
surrounded the town of Jhet, which had been
previously occupied by the rebels, but from which
they had prudently decamped some hours prey -
onaly. They were, however, closely pursued, &-
tacked, and dispersed in the vicinity of a village,
which was subsequently destroyed. They then
returned to Agra, from whence, under Colonel
RLDDEL, they marched in the direction of Ally-
ghur and Bolundshuhur, to strengthen the party
'under Major ELD. This gallant officer had killed
28 and wounded 30 of the Rohilcund muti-

chita, which had been captured on suspicion of
being engaged in the slave trade, was a lawful
prize.
The Correspondencia remarks that Such acts
as this are calculated to drive Spanish commerce
from the African coast, and it calls on the govern-
ment to interfere in the matter. The Espana ex-
presses the opinion that in such affairs the English
are actuated more by commercial rivalry than by
horror of the slave trade, and the Spanish cabinet
cannot be indifferent to the seizure. The Duke
de Montpensier had returned to Madrid from his
visit to the monastery of St. Yusle, famous as the
residence of Charles V. ; with the exception of the
chapel, all the monastery is stated to be in ruins.
The Infante Don Henry has, says the Espana, con-
sented to solicit petmi-sion to:return to Spain. Lord
Howden, the English minister, had returned to Mad-
rid. The funeral of Don. A. Armero, brother of the
President of the Council, had taken place, attended
by a crowd of political men of all parties. The
government has ordered that State notaries should
be nominated in places where they are likely to be
useful. It is said that the men employed in the
tobacco manufactories are indisposed to continue
their work, but the reason is not mentioned. All
the factions of the opposition had determined to
bring forward M. Bravo Murillo as candidate for
the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, in
opposition to the candidate of the Government,.
whoever he may be. It was said that if the
Government were defeated in this election, it
meant to bring forward a formal vota of confidence
in order to ascertain without any manner of doubt
the sentiments of the Chain- her towards it. _

Lord Napier presented his credentials to the

his Lordship, said :
" Your Sovereign, 1 am convinced, could not
have selected a more acceptable representative than
yourself to renew those relations of international
friendship which I trust may never hereafter be
interrupted. The earnest and gracious desire ex-
pressed by her Majesty to preserve and advance
upon all occasions the interest and happiness of
England and America, and the hearty good wishes
which her Majesty cherishes for the prosperity of
the United States, are cordially reciprocated on my
part,will elicit an enthusiastic response from
thie a
hearts

rts
of the American people. No indepen-
dent Powers have ever been bound together by ma-
terial interests of such megnitude as those which
unite Great Britain and the United States. Indeed
the prosperity of the one is necessarily involved in
that of the other ; but mutual interests, however
vast, without mutual regard, are not always suffi-
cient to preserve friendship between nations. How
happy, then, am I to receive the assurances that
your Sovereign, her Ministers, and every order of
her subjects, are animated by sentiments of bene-
volence towards the Government and people of the
United States. During my Administration it shall
be my agreeable duty, as well as my earnest desire,
to increase the friendship and, mutual goodwill now
so happily subsisting between the two countries,

[ADVERTISEISumr.]---The greatest happiness of a journalist
is to introduce to his readers some new discovery calculated
to benefit that vast portion of our fellow-c reatures which
has the strongest claims upon our sympathies. It is with
this feeling that we call the attention of invalids to the
following extracts from Du Barry's intere sting Report of
Cures without medicine of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency,
Constipation, Nervous, Bilious, and Liver complaints, Cough,
Asthma, Consumption, and Debility, by Du Barry's Reva-
lenta Arabica Food. Cure No. 180.—Twenty-five years' ner-
vousness, coLstipation, indigestion, and debility, from which
I had suffered great misery, and which no. medicine could
remove or relieve, have been effectually cur ed by Du Barry's
food in a very short time.—W. R. Reeves, 181, Fleet-street,
London. Cure No. 1,784.—N0t expected to live six days
longer, I was cured by Du Barry's admirable Health-restoring
Arabiea Food.- Magdalena Purvis, Moffat, Scotland. Cure
No. s,46l.—Sixty years' partial paralysis, affecting one-half
of my frame, and which had resisted all other remedies, has
yielded to Du Barry's Health-restoripg Food., and I now con-
sider myself a stranger to all complaints excepting a hearty old
age.—Wm. Hunt, barrister-at-law, King's College, Cambridge.

Chemistry Dr. Andrew Erre ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey
Dr. Campbell ; Dg. Gattiker ; Dr. Warzer ; Dr. Ingram ;
Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager Countess of Castle-
stuart; Major-Gen. Thomas King, and many other respectable
persons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other
means of cure had failed. For further particulars respect-
lug food our readers are referred toDu Barry's

The returning officer will make the official declaration
to-day. The Unddersfield contest has excited as much
interest as that of any borough in the kingdom, and
many of the electors gave their votes, not so much as an
moressi m of their opinion as to whether Mr. Akroyd
or Mr. Cobden would mike the, better member of the
Legislature, but as a manifestation of their approval of
the course pursued by Lord Palmerston's Government
to uphold the honour of the British flag and the interests
of this country in reference to the Chinese affair, and
also in condemnation of the ♦iews of Mr. Cobden. The
total number of electors on the register is 1,552, and it
will b• seen that 1,420 have recorded their votes. The
state of the poll was inquired after with great interest
during the day throughout the whole of the West Rid-
ing, A. great many person■ went to Huddersfield from
the surrounding towns and villages, and shortly before
the close of the contest an immense crowd had assem-
bled in St. George's•square—tar larger than was present
on the nomination-day. It is not ac over.estichated
computation to say that there were not lee, than 30,000
people present.

A few; minutes after 4 o'clock Mr. Akroyd, the ono-
cessfui candidate, presented himself at one of the win-
dows of the George Hotel and briefly addressed the
large assembly. He war most loudly cheered.

The official proclamation was made on the steps of the

The two successful candidates having briefly returned
thanks'
Mr. LAYARD came forward and said,—Gentlemen,—
It now becomes my duty to take leave of you, and to
thank you for the support which you have given me on
past occasions, and the confidence with which you have
honoured me during the last five years. I have also to
thank those who have supported me, though unsucce,s-
fully, I am sorry to say ; but if I was to lose your confi-
dence, and any one was to be placed in my stead, you
could not have chosen a better, a more trustworthy mar,
or one more worthy of your confidence than Mr. Ber-
nard. Without making any personal observations, as
the defeated candidate I may be allowed to express my
opinion as to the reasons which have led to the result of
this election. I attribute the return of my friend, Mr.
Bernard, whose principles are Conservative, to two
causes--first, to the fatal move made by Lord Palmer.
ston. I was always of opinion that the course taken
by Lord Palmerston would lead to the triumph of Tory
principles in many parts of England. The reports to-
day from many boroughs in this kingdom show that
these apprehensions were well founded. Ia many parts
a Liberal has been sacrificed to a Tory, because a
man whose heart is at enmity with all liberal
principles will not fail to sacrifice a Liberal member. I
do not often agree with Mr. Disraeli, bat I do agree
with him when he said that Lord Palmerston is the
Tory chief of a Radical Cabinet. I much fear the re-
sult will have a tad effect on the political state of the
country until we have a new Parliament. I know my
friend, Mr. Bernard, has taken a (vantage of the cry for
Lord Palmerston, and he is perfectly right. Ido not
believe he would support Lord Palmerston if he brings
forward liberal measures, but he will support him be-
cause he will bring forward measures in accordance with
his own Conservative opinions. Mr. Lavard, in con-
clusion, complained bitterly of undue influence having
been brought to bear upon the electors.
