JEWEL 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 Lon-
don, jeweller, and representing himself as interpreter
to the Countess Rivolski, who he said was staylag
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 hoi
wished to be taken to the Countess for approval ;'
and Mr. Cochrane, consequently, accompanied him in,
a fly to the York. They entered a sitting-room on
the first floor, when the prisoner knocked at till
door of an adjoining bed-room, appeared to liste4
and then went in. In a few minutes he returned',
said the Countess was unwell, and in bed, ani
that she wished him to send in the articles for inspec-.
tion. Mr. Cochrane, however, refused to part with that
jewels, whereupon the prisoner again entered the cham4
ber, and on returning the second time, said th
Countess would not detain them a minute, as slid
merely wished to see whether the butterfly.;
brooch was the same that she had seen in thsi
window. Seeing Mr. Cochrane hesitate, he tol/
him he was sure he could get 2201. for the but 4
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 them
opened the passage-door, when he found the pri4
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 sail, 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 eon-,
firmed by Mr. O'Connell's late manifesto from Derry-i
none, has reached us, that the leading members of that
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 one
more to sell themselves to Mr. O'Connell. A form
declaration of their adhesion to the cause of fedcralis
will, we are told, make its appearance in a few daysi,
with the names of several of the most influential mem
bers of their party appended to it. Our informant's
