ji,;WEL ROBBERY.

On Wednesday morning, a fashionably-dressed
young man, who gave his name and profession
Gust Shulte Johsohn, professor of the German
and French languages, was examined before
Major Allen and Major 'Willard, of the Brighton
bench, on a charge of attempting an extensive
robbery of jewels. The prisoner had called at
the shop of Mr. Cochrane, Brighton, and of Lou.
don, jeweller, and representing himself as interpreter
to the Countess Rivolski, who he said was staying
at the York Hotel, selected a diamond brooch,
value 225 guineas, representing a butterfly ho-
vering over a flower, which the Countess had seen
in passing the door, and likewise a sapphire
and diamond brooch worth 20 guineas, and two
pins value 181. and 161. All these articles he
wished to be taken to the Countess for approval ;

jeWels,whereupon the prisoner again entered the cham-
ber, and on returning the second time, said the
Countess would not detain them a minute, as she
merely wished to see whether the butterfly-
brooch was the same that she had seen in the
window. Seeing Mr. Cochrane hesitate, he told
him he was sure he could get 2201. for the but-
terfly, but that, in that case, Mr. Cochrane must
make him a present. Mr. Cochrane then intrusted
him with the butterfly and the sapphire brooches,
with which the prisoner again entered the bed-
room. Mr. Cochrane waited his return for a
couple of minutes with great anxiety, and then
opened the passage-door, -when he found the pri-
soner, who had passed through the bed-room into
the passage, creeping stealthily past the door. Mr.
Cochrane seized the prisoner near the staircase, and
having recovered the jewels, sent him to the Town-
hall. From the evidence of one of the waiters at the
York, it appeared that the prisoner had hired the
apartments about an hour before, for the Countess
Rivolski, who, he said, was related to Count Nessel-
rode. The prisoner was committed for trial.

A report, on which we are disposed to place some
reliance, and which is, indeed, iu a great measure con-
firmed by Mr. O'Connell's late manifesto from Derry-
nane, has reached us, that the leading members of the
remnant of the Irish Whigs (including Sharman Craw-
ford. Lord Charlemont, &c.) are at this moment occu-
pied in arranging the terms on which they propose once
more to sell themselves to Mr. O'Connell. A formal
declaration of their adhesion to the cause of federalism
will, we are told, make its appearance in a few days,
House
with the names of several of the most influential mem-
bers of their party appended to it. Our informant's
letter has reference solely to the Irish Whigs ; but there

are
Lichfield
parties
to the
compact. This is precisely what we have all along an.
ticipated would be the case ; and will, if possible, sink
the wretched Whigs who are parties to it to a lower abyss
of degradation than they occupy already. Federalism
and O'Connell is the last card they have to play, and is
evidently expected by them to turn out a trump.—Mon.
