podar of Moldavia. The reports respecting dm ob-
ject of the meeting of the Princes at Fockshorn have
gained ground. It was said that the two Princes in-
tended to meet at Foekshorn with a Russian envoy,

the existing organic statute of Wallachia,:or at least on
the introduction of some new institution, by which
the defects of that statute might be amended.—Allge-

BURGLARY, AND CAPTURE OF
THE THIEF UNDER EXTRAORDINARI
CUMSTANCES. •

In the morning of Sunday last, the 22d instant,
about one o'clock, the family of Mr. Robert Cutler,
of Little Yeldham, were alarmed by a loud exple-
sion in the lower part of the house, as of fire-
arms. Mr. R. Marsh, son-in -law of Mr. Cutler,
immediately got out of bed, and looking out
at a back window, perceived a quantity of smoke
issuing from the back premises. He then aroused the
other members of the family, and ran down stairs al-
most in a state of nudity, when he found the house
full of smoke, and the back part of it on fire. Assist-
ance soon being at hand, the flames were speedily ex-
tinguished, and but little damage was done. The in-
castes, now somewhat recovered from their fright,
observed that the premises had been entered by a win.
dow, which had been forced out, and that
part of the
roof had been carried off from the effects of the explo-
sion ; they also found a large pool of blood, and traced
spots of the same to a cottage near, in the occupation
of a man named Cook. On being called up, Cook
stated that his boy Haggai had just arrived home
wounded, and nearly dead, alleging that he had sus-
tained his injuries from somebody who had shot at him
is he was coming over the Hall Green, but on 311. r.
t;utler confronting the boy, he acknowledged that
he broke into the house and caused the disaster
above described The boy's statement was, that
he and another lad, named Dearsley, had the even-
ing before been to a raffle in the village, and on
leaving they agreed to break in and rob the
premises in question ; but they effected an
entrance into the back kitchen by cutting a window
with a pocket knife, and removing a shutter ; but
laving got so far, they found further progress arrested
by bars and bolts, and finding nothing there to suit
then, were about to depart, when he (Cook) said
I'll see what's in the oven." In his search he found
a canister, which he supposed to contain tea, but
iistead of which there was in it about three-quarters
cf a pound of gunpowder ; on pulling off the lid be
poured out a small quantity, which immediately
ignited the whole. The explosion carried off part of
thy; roof of the building, forced out a window, and
se fire to various articles in the oven, besides
doing other damage ; it also shattered the boy's
thumb, carried away part of his tongue, and
inflicted a very large scalp wound, his head, face,
and eyes presenting a frightful appearance.
A surgeon who was immediately sent for dressed his
wounds, and although maimed as above described, he
is likely to recover, when he will be brought before
the magistrates upon the charge. Cook, although
young in years, is said to be hardened in crime ; he is
about 1.5 years of age, of dimiuitive stature, and has
been several times brought before the magistrates and
committed for minor offences.—Essex Herald.

The Civil Tribunal of the Seine was occupied on
Tuesday with a case in which Lady Dorothea Campbell.
of the Rue d'Aguesseau, 12, was plaintiff, and M.
Rehaut de Fleury, her landlord, defendant. The point
to be
_decided was simply whether a tenant had *
right to have carriages enter the court-yard at night,
in giving balls or sources. It appears that the plaintiff
has for a short time inhabited her present apartment,
at a rent of I,ooof. a-month. She is in the habit of re-
ceiving company every Friday evening, and no objec-
tion was at first made to the carriages of her friends
entering in the usual manner into her court-yard to
set down company until about three weeks ago,
when the landlord issued a prohibition to prevent
any carriage entering the court, or going out, after
twelve o'clock. This step was taken at the instigation of
a Dime. SarlandAre, a lady keeping a boarding-house on
the same premises, and whose inmates complained of
the noise wade every Friday night. A servant of this
person was placed in the porter's iodge, to the exclusion
of the old servant, vt lio had filled his office for twenty-
eight years, and when the carriages arrived he !pre-
vented them from entering. The result was, that Lady
D. Campbell's guests were obliged to alight in the
street, and cross the court-yard on foot, to reach her
apartment. Her Ladyship remonstrated ; but, finding
all her efforts at an amicable arrangement useless, saw
herself obliged to bring an action to establish her right.
After the case had been thus stated for the plaintiff,
counsel was heard for the defendant and Mine.
Sarlendiere. The advocate for the former declared
that his client had done all that was in his power to
conciliate matters ; he had offered to construct at his
own expense a tent in the court-yard, to enable Lady
D. Campbell's guests to arrive at her apartment under
cover ; he had proposed also to put down a carpet ; and
it had been agreed, on his suggestion, that straw should
be strewed under the gateway and in the yard,. in
order to deaden the noise of the carriages. This arrange-
ment, however, had afterwards been broken by Lads
D. Campbell, and the suit brought on. For Meath
Sarlandiire it was stated that, if the soirees jot
alluded to were continued, she must be utterly ruined,
as she had laid out 50,000 francs in founding a boarding-
house, and all her boarders would leave her if their rest
was disturbed every Friday night from nine at night
until five in the mornlng. The plaintiff's counsel, as
reply to these observationz; stated that the noise of the
carriages would he heard in- the street just as well as
in the court-yard, by Madame SW.rlar_fire's boarders, the
rooms of all of whom were on the s;:ec.. But the Court
had nothing to do with the feelings \of these person*;
however respectable they might. be ; tho,,question
as to the right of a locataire to have earriao a enter the
court-yard when a soil ee or ball was given. CaaOs
after having deliberated, decided that Lady 1). -jal'4p.
bell's right Altai incontestible, and in oonsequeret-,
demned the defendant to the costs of the suit.—Ge

General Nott is rather better, though still in s :17
weak state. The present severe weather is a great dra
back on his recovery, but it is confidently expected that
with the return of mild weather his strength will increase.
