ANOTHER COUNTRY BANK ROBBED,
AT LEDBURY, IN HEREFORDSHIRE.

On Friday night last the respectable banking-
house of Messrs. Webb and Son, at Ledbury, in
Herefordshire, was entered, between seven and
eight o'clock, by means of picklock keys, and pro-
perty to the amount of ten thousand pounds' value
was, we are informed, carried off by the thieves.
As soon as the robbery was discovered, persons were
despatched to London, expressly for the purpose of
stopping the payment of the notes at the agents of the
bank. The thieves, it was ascertained, came post
to London as soon as they had effected their object,
and so active were they in their journey, that we re-
gret to say they arrived in Lombard-street some
hours before their pursuers ; and, on Saturday last,
they exchanged 550/. of the stolen notes for Bank
of England notes and sovereigns. The deeds, &c.
they no doubt will return to the Bankers, if they
can " compromise" for a handsome sum.

F URTIIEK PARTICULARS.

It has been ascertained that the perpetrators of
this robbery are a metropolitan gang, and, from the
expert mode by which they effected an entrance
into the Banking-house, it is evident they must
have previously obtained a knowledge of the shape
and size of the different locks, and have manufac-
tured false keys to unlock them. This was the plan
adopted with such success by the celebrated Huffey
White, who committed so many robberies on the
provincial banks, prior to his career being closed,
at Northampton, by the hands of the executioner.—
After the thieves had entered the Ledbury Bank,
they broke open the desks and drawers, in the
front and back offices, and ransacked every place
where it was probable property might be discovered.
The thieves, on their arrival in town, on Satur-
day afternoon, not only obtained cash for all the local
notes which they had carried off, but they obtained
cash at the Bank of England for a Bank post-bill of
5501., and, in fact, notes amounting to between one
and two thousand pounds were changed. The cash
carried off from the Bank amounted to a very consi-
derable sum, and the deeds and papers are to the
proprietors a loss almost incalculable, they having
advanced large sums of money upon these securities.
As this property by this time has got into the hands of
" family men," we may expect very soon to hear that
a negociation has been opened for returning it upon
receiving a consideration for the same.

We are happy to find that it is in contempla-
tion to erect a monument to the memory of the late excel-
lent Bishop BARRINGTON, in the Cathedral of this city.—

INSTANCE OF LONG-CHERISHED REVENGE.
—We were some time ago informed by an individual ac-
quainted with the circumstance, that a countryman in the
west of Scotland, who, in the latter part of the last cen-
tury, had received from another person some real or sup-
posed affront, felt in consequence the highest degree of in-
dignation, and vowed that he should embrace the first op-
portunity of inflicting vengeance on the individual at whose
hands he had received the affront in question. That op-
portunity, however, did not occur until precisely twenty-
one years after the vow referred to had been made. He,
then, accidentally, met the object of his vengeance in the
streets of London, and actually inflicted such a wound
upon him that he shortly afterwards died.—Elgin

IMITATIONS.

I. SIR WALTER SCOTT.
iAciivoßE.

There's not a Wight like lachvore in Scotland far or near,
Nor one whoAnows on hill or dale so well to drive the deer,
He bath a hand of gallant men all marshall'd bins before,
And not a wish on earth have they but that of lachvore.
No titles great bath he to boast nor yet a high degree,
No flocks of sheep upon the bill nor herds upon the lee,
A sturdy arm is all he bath, and eke a good claymore,
But that is rank and riches too to gallant lachvore.

His dwelling place is not bedecked with trappingti rich and

great,
Nor is there any grandeur there, nor pride, nor lordly state,
A cavern in the mountain side or on the rocky shore

Is a palace and a castle too to gallant lachvore.
He bath set his bugle to his mouth and blown a blast so clear
That twice a hundred stalwart youths came bound* like
the deer,
Now draw your swords my merrymen and I will go before,
Ye have this day a gallant deed to do for lachvore.

The Earl drank the blood-red wine his stately towers within,
When all upon the breeze he heard the pibroch's yelling din,
He looked forth and straight he saw, his very gate before,
A noble band, and at their head was gallant lachvore.
Sir Earl, I am here, quoth he, in peaceful ways to claim
A lady whom you here detain of noble birth and name,
And she has been my plighted bride for seven years and more,
I come that damsel to release—my name is lachvore.
Sir lachvore, I know thee well, the Earl made reply,
And rather than I'll yield that dame I'll lay me down and die,
Her father was a traitor vile, like all his race before,

And ill thon dolt suck boon to beg from me, Sir lachvora!
Full loth am I, quoth lachvore, thy kiwired's blood to spill,
And make thy castle fair a nest for foxes of the bill—

But this shall be—then loud and long a deadly oath he swore,
And far Ben Ochart's echoes rang the name of lachvore.
Then red red grew the Baron's cheek, the wild-fire fill'd
his eye—
Thou traitor vile, thee and thy words I scorn and do defy,
'Twere better done to fix thy head my stately turrets o'er
Than thus with speech to honour thee, thou braggart
lachvore !
Again the pibroch yelled aloud, the gallant clan rush'd on,
And in a little space, I trove, the castle all was won ;

Full many a knight and gentleman lay bleeding on the floor,
Ere from the foeman's hall that day departed lachyore.
And now the lovely Helen, wl,o bad long in dungeon pin'd,
Is wedded to her faithful knight, fur whom she was design'd.
So fill ye up a noble bowl, and run it o'er and o'er,

And drink a health to Helen fair, and gallant laehvore.

BETTY BLUE-
"fie Saturday the sixth of June,
Some half an hour past nine at night,
Though soon of ten you'll hear the stroke,
You'd scarcely think it eight o'clock—
The evening is so fair and bright.
And all throughout the village streets
The village curs are sporting now ;
Hark ! some are distant—some are near—
Their ceaseless barking you may hear—
Bow-wow ! bow-wow ! a long bow-wow !
But why is Betty Blue so late?
Why comes not Betty from the fair?
I wish that honest Bet might speed,
And 'twill he very strange indeed,
If she has broke her crockery ware.
'Twas breakfast-time when she set off,
She has been gone twelve hours and more,
And watching for her I have stood
Some five-and-forty minutes good,
Here on the threshold of my door.
Nor do I grudge the time I've spent,
Although it were as much again,
For Betty is a good old wife
As ere you met with in your life—
An honest woman in the main.
She was a soldier in her youth,
And stare not thou the tale to hear,
A bold dragoon as ever rode
Or stretched upon a bloody sod,
The Gaul, the Spaniard, or Mynheer.
The reason wherefore is unknown, •
For Betty Blue she never tells
Why in her youthful blooming pride,
She toss'd the petticoat aside,
And donn'd the inexpressibles.
Perchance 'twas unrequited love,
Perchance 'twas helplessness and woe,
That tore from her her woman's weed ;
Then blame not thou, as vain, a deed,
Whose motive thou canet never know !
She rose to be a trumpeter,
When she was invalided home,
And then it pleased her heart to wed,
A comrade who was Scottish bred,
His name was Donald More MacCombe.
And cozie pensions they have both,
And bravely they have won the same,
And happily they dwell, I weep,
Close here beside the village green,
Though Donald More is somewhat lame.
And Betty now and then endures
Some twitches from her former wownde;
'Tis true she has a timber toe,
But then she both can stand and go,
And stoutly trudges on her rounds.
She deals in delf and erockery.ware,
More for amusement, though, than need;
Tea-cups, and plates, and tea-pots too,
Black, white, or stained with red and blue,
She'll furnish you with speed.
And to the fair this very morn
Her little basket-shop she bore,
And I am standing waiting here,
And watching when she may appear—
But this, I think, I said before!
The village curs have ceased to bark—
You hear no more their long how-wow,
The light of day is almost gone,
And Cynthia to her cloudy throne,
Is climbing from the mountain's brow.
In short 'tis past eleven o'clock,
And I am getting wearied quite,
Poor honest Betty has, I fear,
Been making free with gin or beer,
And she will not return to night.
For certain Betty must be drunk,
She learnt that habit at the wars.
Now in the ale-house she'll be dozing,
Or to some brother-soldier prosing,
About her battles and her scars.
Well, peace be with thee, honest Betty,
And may thy hours in joy be sped !
Meantime I'll in, and shut the door,
And take my simple meal before
I tumble into bed.

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S GILL SToups.—
Until very lately, we were unprepared to believe th't Sir
WALTER. ScoTr was unknown. even to the meanest hind
in his native land. A short thresgo, however, the prolific
genius of our illustrious countryman happened to become
the topic of conversation in Cupar, Fife, when an indi-
vidual present, who had been more accustomed to the es •
senee of John Barleycorn than the no less intoxicating
pages of the novelist, exclaimed, " What is he that Sir
WALTER. SCOTT that you're a' crackin' about—is't him that
has his name stampit on sae mony o' the imperial gill
stoups ?".—Edinburgh Observer.

It having been iutimated to us and to the
press generally, by Mr. Halls, of Bow-street,
that the publication of the proceedings taken by,.
the police to bring to justice the perpetrator of
this inhuman murder might tend to defeat that
object, we have cautiously abstained from notic-
ing the many rumours to which the events of the
last week have given circulation, and we therefore
determined not to publish any report upon the
subject until some proceeding should take place
of a nature which we conceived we might pub-
lish without infringing upon the Magistrate's in-
junction, or obstructing the course of justice,
Some circumstances occurred yesterday which
we shall now disclose, under the impression that
their publication cannot even remotely obstruct
the efforts of the police, or heap undue ;iiincron
upon any individual.
-

It appeared in evidence at the Coroner's In-
quest, that a man was seen talking to the unfor-
tunate Mrs. Jeffs, in the hall of Mr. Lett's
house, on the night of the murder. The de-
scription of this individual having been commu-
nicated to the police, every exertion was made
to trace him, and officers having been sent to
his supposed residence in Lambeth, it is said
that they ascertained that he had left his home
on yesterday week, and had not returned. This
fact induced the Magistrate, Mr. Halls, to issue
a hand-bill ; and on the same day a proclama-
t efromeied " Lansdowne," was issued fre\ilTitelizcill, offering his Majesty's gracious par
don to any of the individuals connected with the
murder, excepting the actual offender; and- to
this proclamation was appended a further re-
ward of 100/., payable by the parish in which
the crime was perpetrated, for the .appre-
hension and conviction of the offender. The
officers employed in bringing the affair to
light were unceasing in their exertions to
discover the William Jones described in the,
hand-bill, but no trace could be found to dis-
cover him until yesterday morning, when an in-
timation reached Bow-street, stating that a man
named William Jones was then in custody at
Guildhall, charged with a felony, committed by
him on the night of the previous Saturday.
Upon this information, Gardiner, the officer,
proceeded to Guildhall, and the sitting Magis-
trate there immediately consigned the prisoner to
the custody of that officer, who conveyed him at
once to Bow-street, where he underwent a very
long examination before Mr. Halls, upon the
charge of Mony already mentioned, and also
touching the murder of the unfortunate Mrs.
Jeffs. The examination being strictly private,
we are not prepared to state tc'tll that occurred,
Enough, however, appeared upon the minor
charge to warrant the Magistrate to order his
committal. The facts connected with that charge
arc as follow :—On Saturday evening a coae
was stolen from a line in the shop of Mr. Hold-
ing, a hosier, residing at 82, Chancery-lane, and:
that person immediately, upon discovering his
loss, proceeded to the neighbouring pawn-
brokers to advertise therm of the robbery.
He gaVe a particular description of the coat,
and requested that the party might be stopped
who should offer it to pawn. Amongst
the other pawnbrokers to whom Mr. Holding
applied, was a person named Brown, who resides
in Fetter-lane, whose shopman, John Martin
Haigh, within half an hour after the above inti-
mation was conveyed to his employer, stopped a
man who offered to pawn the identical coat of
which Mr. Holding had just been robbed.—
Haigh directly sent for the street-keeper, and
gave Jones, the prisoner, into custody, and Mr.
Holding being apprised of the circumstance, at
once identified the coat. The prisoner was then
conveyed to the Compter, and brought before
the Magistrate at Guildhall, and from thence
transmitted to Bow-street, as we have al-
ready stated. Whether he will prove to be
the William Jones described in the hand-
bill, we forbear to hazard a conjecture.
Soon after the examinatien of yesterday, the
hand-bill which we have given above, and which
was pasted in the outer room at Bow-street, was
taken down—a circumstance, however, from
which we draw no inference. It is said, that.
the Magistrate felt so strongly that William
Jones, whose person is described, was implicated
in the murder of Mrs. Jeffs, that to prevent his
escape from the country, the most prompt imam;
;sere taken o
kicnf;laoriod: circumstance3ol
the
apprehension of t n
the King's
a
pardon being offered on Friday, accompanied by
conviction of the offender, together with a reward
of 10/. merely for the apprehension of the
sus-
pected party, prove that the evidence agano;
him meet have been very strong.—Times.

IMPORTANT ! !—As our Brother JO.IsTA THAN
says._ Yesterday arrived at Aylesbury, by one of the C.,ral
boats from London, the machinery of Aylesbury Church
clock, which had been sent to the metropolis for reparation.
It had been due, to use the seaman's phrase, fully two
months, during which innumerable inconveniences have
been eiperienced by the inhabitants of the town. However•
good the work may now be, the clock will henceforth be
always reckoned as not having kept correct time.—J3ltc
ingham Chronicle.

PRESTON GREAT HORSE FAIR.—We have
been favoured by our correspondent•at Preston, with the
following account of the great annual horse show in that
town. Ourfair commenced on Monday last. The show
was a good one, but by no means so numerous as we have
witnessed upon former occasions. Business became gene-
on Tuesday morning; gold carriage-horses, hacks,
and hunters fetched good prices. Mr. HENnEusoN, of
Lowthian-gill, Cumberland, had a !el.), valuable lot of
horses, two of which brought 210 guineas, and four others
of the same "string" were sold foe 80 guineas each. Mr.
n
C. Jo NsToN, of Sedgwick, near Kendal, had an excel-
lent lot—one horse in particular, a beautiful chesnut, was
generally allowed by the best judges to be the finest shaped
animal in the fair, and iva' sold at a very great price._
Mr. Cuaco,
Ailcholin! near Kirkby Lonsiale, had a
lot of eight horses, for which he asked 600 guineas; but
we did not hear what be Obtained, or even that lie had
sold them all. The highest priced horse sold during the
fair belonzed
to a gentleman named IlontisoN, and tea..got
In
jainons stallion Old Warwick, and brought
one mit and thirty guineas; he is a five year old colt,
and is certainly a most beautiful animal, full of bone and ac-
tion. Ilfore dealers were present than has been known for many
years, and 00 the whole, prices for good horses may be
considered as very good. Indifferent horses did wit sell
; there was scarcely any demand for them. We di't
not hear of any robberies, which are but too common at
loch times ; indeed our Mayor, DEw u 'tar, •
much to his credit, had taken such precautions, by i"tne;
notices of the presence ofpickpockets, and by placing active
nfficers, as to save even the most careless of his Majesty's
liege's, from being caught by the vultures. These fairs
ire of more importance to the trade of the country than
casual observers arc generally inclined to think. As an
illustration of this assertion, we may mention a fact which
has come to our knowledge and which we consider of rui
trifling importance, as skewing the amazing sums of money
which arc put in circulation by the persons attending the
li(lerent fairs, markets, and trysts (as our Scottish friend
call them) of the country. In conversation with Mr. H.
one of the largest and most respectable horse-dealers in
tin:
count; ere were not a little astonished to learn that in
the last twelve months, he had expended no less a sum than
wo thousand three hundred pounds in mere travelling ex-
penses for horses and their keepers. How great then nui-t
ire the sum expended by the horse-dealers of the kingdom
in the course of the year ; and how much do our political
economists owe them for thus "operating" upon the cir-
culating medium.— Westmoreland Advertiser.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazetate de France, Jan. la.)
" Palmy JAN. 12.—We have received by express
the Austrian Observer of the 4th instant. In con-
sequence of the energetic measures taken by the
Allied Admirals, the Greek Government has issued
two declarations against piracy; the first of which
prohibits, under severe penalties, all sorts of piracy,
and declares that the Prize Court has in future to
decide upon none excepting the cases of ships that
have violated the blockade. In the second aeclara-
tion,the Greek Government expresses its indignation
against piracy, and announces that it has sent Captain
Carpirissy with ships of war and forces to the Archi-
pektgo to pursue the pirates, and at the same time
requests the Admirals of the Allies to second its
efforts.
" Amounts received from Corfu say, that Lord
Cochrane's schooner, the Unicorn, had arrived at
T.Poros, and a report was immediately spread that
4,..0rd Cochrane had again entered the service of
England. It is certain that the whole crew of the
Unicorn consists of Englishmen.
" CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 12.—The general opi-
nion of the Divan appears to be, that the Courts of
England and France will disapprove of the depar-
ture of their Ambassadors, and that no rupture is to
be feared with those Powers, even though they
should not have direct representatives at Constan-
tinople.
" The affair at Navariu does not appear to have
enlightened the Turkish policy, and the circumazance
that no diplomatic answer has yet been made to the
letter of the Grand Vizier, leaves the Porte uncer-
tain with respect to the future.
" The Grand Vizier and the Mufti seem, how-
ever, not to deceive themselves respecting the pre-
sent situation of affairs, and neglect nothing to be
ready against every event. While the first is col-
lecting with indefatigable zeal the means of defence,
the second endeavours to raise the spirit of the na-
tion. A Hatti Scherif of the Sultan not only orders
the whole line of the Danube to be placed in a state
of defence, but also the islands of Tenedos, Imbro,
and Samothrace, to be fortified, the port of Enos
to be provided with all kinds of military stores, and
furnaces for heating balls to be erected in the bat-
teries. Particular injunctions have teen given to
the commanders of Varna, Burgas, =I Vasilico, the
landing-places on the coast of the Black Sea, to
neglect nothing to frustrate every attempt of the
enemy.
" A pastoral letter of the Mufti, orders public
prayers for the preservation of general peace, but at
the same time invites all believers to defend Isla-
mism, in case it should be threatened by the Chris-
tian powers, and orders military exercises. After a
great Council which was held yesterday at the
Mufti's and at which the Grand Vizir, the Captain
Pasha, and the Reis Effendi were present, it is said
that notice Was sent to 'all the Pashas, that in case
the Porte should be compelled to come to hostilities
with the European Powers, they were to remain
strictly on thedefensive. Conformably to this view,
no attempt was to be madeupon Moldavia and Wala-
chia, but any attack which should come from that
side is to be repulsed upon the Danube.
" CONSTANTINOPLE, DSC. 12.—1 n the capital
all is preparation for battle. The Chiefs of Romelia
have arrived here, and have each received a pelisse
of honour. A Grand Council was held yesterday, at
the house of the Mufti, at the close of which a num-
her of Tartars were despatched to the fortresses of
the Danube, with orders, the nature of which has
not transpired.
" The young Turks, of all classes, are exercising
themselves in the use of arms in the European man-
ner. The enthusiasm for the Sultan has risen to
the highest pitch since the departure of the Ambas-
sadors. A finnan, whickhas :been
.addressied to alt

may berolig- to ;hem, officers, 'physicians, func-
tionaries,-&e. may enjoy, without molestation, the
observances of their religion, according to its rites.
There have already been built in the barracks of
Constantinople and Adrianople chapels, in which
divine service is to be celebrated every Sunday by
Christian Ministers. •
" We learn froM Scio,thet on the 20th of No-
vember, the citadel was hard pressed by Fabvier,
who hiel even opened the trenches. Sixty Greek
horsemen had arrived, the remnant of two squadrons
of .regular cavalry formerly raised by Regnault St.
Jean d'Angely.' —Augtburgh Gazette.
" SMYRNA DEC. 25.--The' Oriental Spectator of
the Ist of December- :contains the following news
from the island of Naxos, dated Nov. 23 :--
`" Lord Cochrane came here in the course of
last month, and sought to persuade the Primate of
the Maki that the Allied Powers intended again to
subject them to the Turkish yoke, since, in their
letters addressed to the Commission of the Govern-
ment, they threatened to put under sequestration
every corsair cruising beyond the limits which they
had fixed. Subsequently, relying on the extraordi-
nary and unconstitutional powers confided to him,
he recommended the islands to put themselves under
the protection of the Order of St. John, and to hoist
the flag of that Order. The most clear-sighted
Greeks having foreseen the consequences, and the
object of this schism, he thought it right, by the
following letter • addressed to, his nephew Gordon,
whom be had left Govertior.of .the island, to vindi-
cate himself from the attacks of which he had be-
come the object.

" On board the Hellas, Oct.
" The interpretations which the demogerontes (elders
of the people) of Naxos have given to any words, and what
they have published, is very far from being conformable to
the truth. They have stated me to have recommended,
that the islands should separate themselves from the other
Greeks ; the truth is, that in speaking of the position of
these islands, I made the remark, that as the interdictions
of the Admirals prevented the Greek fleet from protecting
the Islands, the inhabitants ought to take the necessary
measures for providing for their own security, and especially
to he on their guard against again falling under the yoke
of the Mu,sulmans, and, consequently, to hoist a Christian
flag rather than a Malinmetan one.
Such was my opinion, and if it have been otherwise
interpreted, it can only be a misrepresentation or inaccurate
report of my words.

PARIS, JAN. 12.—EMBARRASSMENT OF THE ATI-
NISTRY.—The Ministry is seeking to recruit its
forces among honourable men, am! it finds that op-
position it might expect. An appointment, as
Maitre des Requetcs, aud the direction de la Li-
brairic, have been offered to M. Villemain, who re-
fused the offer. If. the Minister who made the pro-
posal, had considered the situation of M. Villemain,
he would have been spared the pain of a refusal. This
Professor, who promised to be a distinguished orator,
was dismissed in a most brutal manner by the Ad-
ministration, of which the Minister of the Interior
was .a member. For the disgrace inflicted by power
be found a solace in public approbation. How could
it be supposed that M. Villemain would change this
enviable lot, to be placed on a level with Mllf.
flois-
berbrand and Capelle, those faithful instruments of
M. de Corbieres and the Congregation ? Could
M. Villethain sit in Council with MM. Delavau and
de Rennevelle, with Saint Chamans and Fenilly,
whose conduct and opinions are diametrically op-
pe!-ed to his ? There are some appearances which
um hottest man cannot violate. When the Ministry
shall be composed entirely of persons who hare
given proofs of their attachment to public liberty,
they will easily find co-operators and supporters.
Till then they will remain isolated. -
It has been reported Nvithin this day or two, that
the Gazette de France meant to attack the New
Ministry, and we believe it; for yesterday evening
it pronounced an eulogium on them, and promised
them the support of all the Congregations who sup-
ported the Old Administration. It is impossible to
injure the successors of M. de Villele more effec-
tually, and these caresses of the Gazette are jesuiti-
