M'yst entoi;s Rowlett:l%—A very remarkable
robbery' was cennnitted a few days ago -at
the Athenaeum, in this place. It is often the
practice with some gentlemen who reside at a dis-
tance from town to have their letters deposited in
.a box, placed in the Athereweum for that purpose,
and
.which, for greater convenience, is divided.
into what are called pigeon-boles and alphabeted.
—This is chiefly practised on aSunday morning-,
when the letters are thus deposited by a clerk,
and taken away by any. part of the family who
may happen•to tome to town in the, coarse of the
day. On the morning of Sunday the 9th in-
stant, -two letters, which were placed in the-box..
above mentioned, as the roorn,keeper well
recollects, were soon afterwards taken away. by
some person who had no right to do so ; and
this fact came to light in the course of a few
days, in consequence of letters arriving from
the correspondents, who had written the sto-
len letters, desiring to know why the receipt of
tham had •not been acknowledged in the due
course of post. Both of them contained inclosures,
one of which was a poliCy of insurance, of no use
but to the owner, but the other contained
Bank bills and notes to the value of 1501. The
Committee of the Athenaeum has been .summoned
to investigate this singular transaction, but nothing
concerning it of any importance has been disco-
vered. We understand that these bills, which
were especially indorsed, were presented at the
Bank of England for payment on the Tuesday
after they had been stolen, by a person who gave
his address " John Cooper, 97, Piccadilly ;" and
they were paid in sovereigns. It is unnecessary
to say, that when inquiry was made in Piccadilly,
no such person lived there.4—(Liverpool Paper.).
Mur.oEn.—About ten at night, the .Bth in-
stant, Thomas Evans, blacksmith, .of Rhyd-
fendigaid, in the parish of 'Caron, Cardigan-
shire, was most inhumanly murdered. Thee
persons have been committed to Cardigan giv4,.
under the -Coroner's warrant, a verdict of Wil-
ful Murder having been returned against them.
A Murder has not been committed in that neigh.,
bouthood within the memory of the oldest person;
and such .':as the sensation felt on the present
occasiono.fre44t44-e.lorty men came- voluntarily
on the Sunday morning (though •the Sabbath is
perhaps more religiously respected in that-vicinity
than in most places) before a Magistrate, and re-
quested that they should he sworn in as special
constables; -and they searched that. day almost
all the houses in the neighbourhood. The result
was, that the three men were apprehended and
committed. Were the same feeling alive lit the
bosoms of the people of Ireland, we. should
not hear and read of so many massacres perpe-
trated with impunity in that most wretched conn-
tey.—(Salopian Journal.)
An accident, attended, with very serious ctinse
quences, took place early on Tuesday last.-
Rougemont, of Clapton, accompanied by a son and
two daughters, went to spend Christmas-eve with,
Mr. Hobson, of Ih highland. They returned about
two in the morning, when the coachman lost his
command of the horses at Stamford-hill, and
they ran furiously along the road : they proceeded
a short distance, and coming in contact with a
lamp-post, the carriage was thrown over and dash-
ed to pieces. We are sorry to say Mrs. R. was
dreadfully cut by the broken glass, and has been
confined to her room ever since. The son and young
ladies fortunately escaped with slight bruises, hut
the poor coachman was so much injured that he
now lies in a very dangerous state. One of the
horses was much cut over-the eye.
Last night, about eight o'clock, a four-horse
coach, the property of SHACKEL and Company,
NV hich runs from London to Reading, stop-
ped at the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly,
and whilst the coachman alighted, the horses
took fright and set , off full speed, towards
the Haymarket. In Coventry-street the common
sewer is undergoing repair, and there is barely-
sufficient room for one coachto pass. Fortunate-
ly there were no other obstructions to their pro-.
gress, and they passed this spot 'with great velo,
city, turning the corner. of Coventry-street,
up Princes-street, until they were finally
stopped at Compton-street. An elderly gen-
tleman was the only outside passenger who had
sufficient presence of mind to retain his statioti.
Two female passengers were inside, who with
the gentleman, fortunately sustained no other
injury than from the alarm. Neither the coach
nor horses received any damage, and they passed
the whole distance without causing anraccident.
