BRUSSELS, JULY 7.—A daring robbery was committed
yesterday at eleven o'clock, while General Tom Thumb was
exhibiting in the hall of the Philharmonic Society. The pre-
sents which Tom Thumb had received from several foreign
courts were in a box on a table near his chair; an adroit thief,
watching his opportnnity, stole a diamond pin and other arti-
cles, valued at 2,503 &vies. Happily the prevents of the Pre-
sident of the United States, of Queen Victoria, of King Louis
Philippe, of the Duke of Devonshire, and of the Countess
Lazaroff, were not taken.

PRESENTATIoN tit- THE CALCUTTA ADDRI. tie; TO THE
Quxesi.—When Dwarkanauth Taeore paid his first visit to this
country, he was honoured by being made the medium through
which the city of Calcutta received a very great and well-appre-
ciated compliment—namely, a present from the Queen and Prince
Albert, of their full.length portraits. These have been placed in
the Town-hall of Calcutta, and are represented to be admirable
likenesses of the royal donors. In acknowledgment of the honour
thus conferred, the inhabitants of " the City of Palaces" unani-
mously voted an address to the Sovereign, and took the oppor..
tunity of Dwarkanauth Tagore's second visit to this country to
have it presented to her Majesty. Dwarkanauth Tagore was
honoured on Monday with an audience of the Queen and
Prince Albert, when he presented the Calcutta Address, which
was most graciously received by her Majesty. At the same
time she condescended to prolong the interview by expressing the
warm interest she felt in her Indian dominions, and by making
numerous inquiries relative to them, which showed considerable
faniliarity with the subject. Her Majesty and Prince Albert
closed the audience by presenting Dwarkanauth Tagore with their
miniarur.s, exquisitely copied from the well known portraits by
Winterhaulter. The condescending kindness of the Queen and
her illustrious consort has left a deep impression on Dwarkanauth
Tagore'a mind, and he is very sensible of the honour which his
Sovereign conferred upon him. On Monday evening he had the
further honour ofjoining the royal party at the Palace, and of being
introduced by the Queen to her illustrious relatives the King and
Queen of the Belgians, both of whom expressed a lively interest to-
wards India.— Advertiser.

A HINT TO Si R ROBERT INGLIB.—Lord Brougham,
on Wednesday, at Exs er-Hall, when addressing the assembly
after Mr. Simpson's speech, alluded to the notorious phrase,
" godless system of education" applied to the Irish Colleges
Bill, and remarked that it ought to be called, not a "godless,"
but a " priestiess system of education."
IMPROVEMENT OF THE WORKING CLASSES.—
We4ne3day Mr. J. Simpson, of Edinburgh, delivered the first of
two addresses to the working• classes, on the means of improving
their character and condition. Lord Brougham occupied the chair,
surrounded by several other Noblemen and gentlemen. Exeter.
hall was not quite filled, but there were about 2,000 persons pre-
sent. On Mr. Simpson's coming forward he was received with
loud cheers. In the course of his address he dwelt very largely on
the report of the Health of Fowl's Commission, and on the ne-
cessity there was for the immediate improvement of the dwellings
of the labouring classes. He alluded to the improvements taking
place in those dwellings in Edinburgh, and exhorted the labouring
classes of London to pursue an equally sensible and advantageous
plan, as the chief means of elevating their position in society; and,
by so doing, also to improve the health of themselves and their
families,and increase their comforts and enjoyments, as the pros.
perity of all must in a great measure depend on the character and
good conduct of the great masses of society.—(Cheers.) It was
then moved and seconded that Mr. Simpson be cordially thanked
for his kindness. A vote of thanks was then awarded to the
chairman (Lord Brougham), who returned thanks, and the meeting
then dispersed.
