DARING ROBBERY.—On Saturday afternoon, 1,"
tween four and five o'clock, Mr. E. Turner, of the Rising Sun,
Brooksby.street, Barnsbury.road, Islington, was robbed of a small
cash-box, containing notes and gold to upwards of 1101. The
robbery was effected by three men, who were hanging about the
house for some time, and of whom he had received a quantity of
silver, for which he returned gold, and having occasion to go to the
cellar a short time afterwards the robbery was effected. He unfor-
tunately exhibited his cashbox at the time of giving change, which
the thieves took note crf, and having left it in the bar parlour, in
his absence, they secured it and got safe off.

complement, surely the Admiralty is demoralising the
spirit of the general service.
Now, let us see what is the evidence to this vital
matter of the " manning" from other quarters ; and

(always bearing in mina what are the grave pos-
sibilities, we should be sorry to write " probabilities,"
of a naval collision in the Western Hemisphere)
what are the very important bearings which the
question assumes in the event of such a war, and on
the honour and prosperity of this country ? _ _

From an officer of the Superb, Sir C. NAPIEI had
learned that there were on board that large man-of-

war not more than forty able seamen.

" Well-

behaved" men there were, in plenty; but they knew
nothing of naval affairs; and so it was with
most of our ships of the line. The men were anxious
to do their duty, but the crews were of inferior
quality. Yet we could obtain as good men as any
navy ever boasted by setting about the object after a
right manner. We find it impossible to deny the
grievous discouragement which seamen—who are
naturally enough animated by the hope of re-
alising their hard-earned prize money—must ex-
perience under such scurvy treatment and cruel
disappointments as they had lately to encounter
in respect of their successful operations on the coasts
of Syria and of China. But we cannot reconcile,
with the conduct of any great State department, con-
ducted by people of common sense, or having but an
ordinary acquaintance with the universal impulses of
human nature, the perseverance of our Admiralty in
any system of admitted annoyance and injustice to
the men at a period of such pregnant eventfulness
as the present. The Government was broadly ac-
cused by Sir CHARLES NAPIER of being afraid to
issue a proclamation for able seamen to come forward,
under the probability of a war, because they would
have to pay 101. bounty to each. For, since there
should be 40,000 men in the navy, the whole bounty
would amount to 400,000/., which the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER would not like to pay. Whilst scores
and hundreds of thousands are laid out by a willing
country on the palaces and establishments of royalty, how-
ever, there must be no question as to finding 400,000/.'for
bounty to able seamen, wherever else the money is to be
economized, whenever the emergency arises. And since
impressment, in the present state of public opinion, and
(let us be candid to ourselves, and look our own exi-
gencies in the face) of our political relations, would be
absolutely impracticable on any great scale, it is well that
we should accustom ourselves to contemplite the scale,
at least, of the alternative we may have to adopt. That
alternative will have all the advantages of being a con-
stitutional, a most popular, and most efficient ore; and
we may depend upon it, it will determine the event of
any naval struggle, were it against the whole maritime
powers of the world, at once in our favcar. There
would be no danger of complaint of a deficient supply of
able seamen; we might rather fear to have to encounter
a redundant mass of applicants. It seems that a paper
was recently laid before the American Congress which
showed that, out of 115,000 men in the whole naval mer-
cantile service of the United States, 100,000 were fo-
reigners. Of these probably 90,000 are Englishmen,
who, said the same Gallant Officer from whom we have
just quoted, "in case of war, would leave that service
and come into the English, provided a proper remunera-
tion was held out, and the slavish mode of impressment
was not resorted to."
Mr. CHARLES WOOD, the late Whig Secretary to the
Admiralty, assured the House that never since 1835 was
the fleet of this country in so weak and defenceless a
state, as during the last year. When we read such
statements, pronounced by such men, we can scarcely
suppose that we are not dreaming; so impossible does it
seem to us to believe that men in one of the most re-
sponsible posts of public service, and with a full know-
ledge of all the threatening aspects of the political ho•
rizon around them, can thus have been tampering with
the duties of their station and their trusts. Lord IN-
GESTRE, in fact, confirmed Mr. WOOD'S assertion—for
he complained that last year, only, the Cornwallis, and
another ship, was sent out without their full complement
of either men, guns, or arms. If Mr. SIDNEY HER-
BERT imagines that his very jejune assurances to the
Homo that these things were so, because the Govern-
ment did not think there was any necessity for adding
to the strength of our home service, and that on foreign
stations our ships were all fully manned, will countervail
the impression produced by the speeches produced by Sir
CHARLES NAPIER, Captain PECHELL, Lord INGESTRE,
and Captain BERKELEY, he is very egregiously deceived.
We do implore every Member of the House of Com-
mons, of whatever party, considering the feverish state
of many of our relations, both in the Old World and the
New, not to relax one effort or any one eligible °ppm tunity,
to keep up the Admiralty to the practical redemption of
the full pledge which we conceive Sir GEORGE COCK-
BURN to have given to the full manning of all our ships
of war, and the rerfect equipment of all our sea-going
ships. WI attver the defects and errors of the past, we
are willing to hope everything of the future from the
undertakings of an officer of so distinguished a profes-
sional reputation and personal character as Sir GEORGE
CDCKBUBN.

Admiral DUNDAS bas addressed a letter to one of his
constituents, in which he gives certain reasons for
changing his opinion, or, more properly speaking, his
vote, on the Maynooth grant. Among other reasons, he
states that he " voted for the intoduction of the Bill, and
for Mr. WARD'S motion, in the hope that the funds to
pay the proposed grant would be defrayed from the super-
abundant revenues of the Protestant Church of Ireland:,
Now, if the Gallant Admiral voted for the introduction
of the Bill on any such grounds, he could not have
heard
id
he speech t
himselfo qtr
the keven the slightest
hope that Mr. WARD'S [motion would be carried. Were
nt g
other Liberal Members, who have stood to their principles
with such unflinching firmness, to imitate this example,
the measure would be defeated, and all hopes of con-
ciliating Ireland be utterly destroyed. WC care not for
words. It is easy to talk about a just appropriation of
Church property, a fair and liberal registration, and
an addition to the number of Irish Members in
the United Parliament ; but can these objects
be obtained now, and is nothing to be done--is
not even an instalment to be accepted, till
the whole amount of justice is granted ? From several
allusions in the letter, we are led to believe that some-
thing elfe than the good of Ireland has led to this
change. Moral courage is a much nobler quality than
physical courage. For the faithful discharge of Parlia-
mentary duties it is indispensable, and perhaps it is
equally indispensable in an officer appointed::. to any
important command in her MAJESTY'S service.

Madrid journals of the 29th nit. have been received.
They are chiefly filled with accounts of the magnificent
fete given by Queen CHRISTINA at Vista Alegre on the
anniversary of her birth-day. The following persons
have been appointed Gentlemen of the QUEEN'S Bed-
chamber:—Colonel Pcdro Quiros, brother to the Mar-
quis de Santiago, M. Jose de Salamanca, M. Jose Maria
Huet, Brigadier Norzagaray, M. Jeso Maria Moored,
and M. Chacon, Political Chief of Madrid. The Spanish
Government have forbid the entrance into Spain from
France of all descriptions of beasts of burden, as it fears
that the malignant disorder now raging amongst cattle
in certain parts of Germany, and which is said to have
made its appearance in the south of France, may extend
into Spain. _ _

The Three per Cents. closed at 35 for cash, and 35

without interest at 8:4- for cash, and 9 at 60 days.

The French Chamber of Deputies commenced on
Monday the discussion of the Bill for arming the forti-
fications of Paris. Several Members spoke against the
measure, but the debate excited nu interest, and indeed
so little regard was paid to the speeches that at one
period of the sitting the noise of conversation drowned
the voice of the speaker, and he appealed to the Pre-
sident for protection. General LEYDET opposed the
Bill, because he considered the measure unnecessary.
At Vincennes there were guns and mortars enough to
mount the walls, but independent of that he thought it
exceedingly ill-timed to make those warlike prepara-
tions in a time of profound peace, and when there was
every appearance that peace would be preserved with
all the nations of Europe. M. CoawE also opposed the
Bill on two grounds. The expense ho thought
enormous, and one-half of the sum of 17,000,000 f.
would be quite sufficient. Besides, Paris
was not like other strong places, and the contest should
be made, not at the walls of the capital, but on the
frontiers. M. DAnU spoke on the other side, and said
the fortifications, without guns and stores, would be
entirely useless—merely masses of stone and mortar.
M. LASTEYRIE was not suprised that Frenchmen viewed
this scheme with suspicion while so little was done on
the frontiers to repel an invading army, and Alsace was
left open to foreign attacks. It was generally believed,
however, that the sum would be voted, but with certain
restrictions. The National can see no real danger to the
inhabitants of Paris from these fortifications. They
will only have a moral effect, and tend to
repress any aspirations ails, ii.;)erty •Ine
to the existing Government. " On the 'cast
reflection," says that journal, "it will be admitted

that the cannot placed in the forts or on the continuous
wall could 'toyer be employed but to put down a revolu-
tion ; but, although powerless as effective means they
may become very perilous as means of prevention. Per-
suade an entire pcpulation that at the first disturbance
Paris will be bombarded; render this fear general, espe-
cially among those who have houses and shops—among
the bourgeoisie who possess property—and you will see
the whole of that bourgeoisie turn with violence against
those who should have been excited to revolt by an
attempt against the national sovereignty. This is what
has been calculated upon. It was, above all, the moral
effect that was aimed at—it is by preventive intimida-
tion that it is hoped to prevent revolution, and to secure
the strongest chances by placing beforehand the timid
1 On the side of the Government."

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers

A letter frota Lucerne of the Ist, informs us that the elections
for the Grand Council of that State had commenced, and were
proceeding in favour of the Liberals. In the town of Lucerne,
out of seven members returned, six are of the Liberal party. The
same letter gives an account of a curious sentence, at Nidwald,
upon a Lieut. Nermaun, who had joined the free corps in the
attack upon Lucerne. He is condemned to stand in the public
market-place for four hours with a rod in his hand, then to be
Slogged with it, and afterwards to be imprisoned for six months,
during which he is to receive " religious instruction."
Serious disturbances have taken place at Villalon, six leagues
from Valencia. The inhabitants of this little town have always
been addicted to smuggling, and their houses have had the repute-
tion of being filled with smuggled goods. Lately, the civil guard
having attempted to seize some articles, four of them were killed.
As soon as General Manso, the Captain-General of Valladolid, heard
of this, he proceeded to the town at the head of five battalions of
infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and a company of engineers, and
occupied the place on the 22d. He immediately published severe
orders, calling upon the inhabitants to deliver up their arms and
the smuggled goods which they possessed. The leaders took to
Bight, and the rest gave in. Upwards of 300 muskets were taken,
and visits were being made to seize the goods when the last ac.
counts left.

Two of the men sentenced to death at Ravenna were guillo_

tined on the 19th, and the punishment of the third, who was under
age, has been commuted into the galleys for life. They were con.
victed of having resisted the officers of the law, and killed a brigs.
dier of carabineers and a soldier of a Swiss regiment quartered at
Ravenna. Eighteen of their accomplices have been condemned to
the galleys for different limited periods.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—
Her Majesty. and Prince Albert intend proceeding to

EVANS V. LAMB.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 141. 165., the ba-
lance of an account for money lent. The plaintiff is a young lady,
residing at present with her relatives in Rood.latm, City. The de-
fendant is a solicitor in Bucklersbury. It appeared from the evi-
dence, that the plaintiff; who had the misfortune to be an orphan,
had been acquainted with a gentleman at the west end of the town
(whose name was not allowed to transpire), but the acquaintance
being abruptly broken eft; she applied to the present de-
fendant to firing an action for breach of promise, but
which was settled by the " gay deceiver" paying over to
her 100 guineas. On that suns being paid to her, defendant
begged the loan of 601. or 701., and plaintiff lent him 651
on his written acknowledgment and promise to repay it when called
upOn. He repaid some part, but left, as the plaintiff alleged, a
balance of 141. 16s. The defendant contended that the real balance
was only 1/. 55., and that that sum he was authorised to pay over
to a third party on her acconnt, Tie accounts were somewhat
intricate, and the most serious part of the dispute arose out of a
sum of 101., which the defendant alleged he had paid or
behalf of the plaintiff for some fixtures in a shop. He admitted
that he never pail that sum in fact, although, to deceive the plain-
tiff", uncle, he had written a letter saying that he had done so, but
had withdrawn it again, thinking it would be better for the plaintiff
not to have anything to do with the speculation—that the looney
was in fact given to her. This, and some trifling payments alleged
to have been made, reduced the balance to the 11. ss. The de..
fendant's clerk was called, and deposed that the plaintiff admitted
that 1/. ss. only was ow ivg—it bad not, however, been paid, as
plaintiff had had a book and a ring of defendant's, which she never
returned. In tact, defendant charged her with stealing them. They
had previously been on friendly terms.

Mr Secondary POTTER expressed his regret that the matter had
not been arranged by friends. The question for the jury war, whe-
ther the plaintiffhad been misled, or had misunderstood the ac-
counts. The defendant's letter as to the I 0/. was subsequent to
the alleged settlement ; thus the jury had to say whether it con.
firmed tile balance claimed, or was sent, as defendant suggested,
without any real foundation.

The jury consulted nearly half an hour, and then gave a verdict
for N. ss.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.);
A person of very fashionable appearance, dressed en militaire,
who gave the name of Walter Murray, and was stated to be
au officer in the army, was charged with committing a violent
assault upon a labouring man, named James Murphy. The com-
plainant stated that between five and six o'clock yesterday even-
lug, as he was proceeding to St. George's Hospital to see his
wife, who is an in.patient there, in crossing thl end of the
Ride in Hyde-park, opposite the residence of the Duke of Wel-
lington; with a child about'two years old in his arms, the defendant,
who was on horseback, rode againstlitiim, and to prevent himself
from falling, he placed his left hand on the hind part of the de-
fendant's horse.; the defendant rode on for a short distance, and
then returning struck him a severe blow on the top of his head
with the butt.end of his riding-whip, which instantly felled him to
the ground. A female passing by snatched up his child, which had
fallen out of his arms into the road, and the police having witnessed
the violent nature of the assault, took the defendant into custody.

The female in question corroborated the complainant's statements.

The defendant acknowledged having struck the complainant,
but alleged that he did so because the complainant had kicked his
horse.—The complainant denied having done so.

Mr. MALTBY (to the defendant)—You will pay a fine of 51., or
undergo two months' imprisonment.

The defendant immediately paid the tine, and was discharged,

BRUSSELS, MAY 4.—The King presided to.day in a Council of

The Chamber of Representatives did not terminate yesterday the
debate on the convention.

The project of law, as it now stands, retains the statu quo for
rye, barley, and oats. It increases the number of the regulating
markets to 22f., which is at present 12f. Wheat, when it rises to
the price of 20f. per hectolitre may, according to the existing law,
be imported into Belgium free of duty ; in future it will pay 12f.
50c. per 1,000 kilogrammes, when the average is between 20f.
and 22f., and 3f. when the average is between 22f. and 24f. Such
are the changes at present contemplated in our corn.law.
Baron Rothschild, of Frankfort, arrived at Brussels yesterday.
The Gazelle of Mans says—" The fears which the falling in of
the Tunnel of Cumpitch excited in the country made it the duty
of the Government to take every precaution for the public safety.
We are glad to announce that a Commission of civil and military

Brain; inspected the works, and found the tunnel in the best cen.
dition possible.—Brupsots Papers, May 5.

VISITORS TO THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—MY.
Wordsworth, and Mr. Rogers, the celebrated poets,
visited the Royal Exchange yesterday, and went ever
the extensive establishment of Lloyd's. Although the
author of the "Pleasures of Memory " is well-known in
the City from his connexion with the bank of Rogers,
Olding, and Co., still the visit of " Sam Rogers," as he
is familiarly, but with respectful deference, called in
business, with his contemporary Wordsworth, could not
fcil to attract attention, Nltllle to tho.:y,, who
the works of both an introduction to, or the there oppor-
tunity of being a silent observer of such well-known and
esteemed authors, must have been highly gratifying.

There are accounts of the middle of January from Sydney,
which furnish the revenue returns for the year ending 31st
December last. These exhibit a very decided falling off,
the total income being 249,0571., or 45,1651. less than in
1843. The only increase was on tobacco, distillery licenses,
and assessments of stock. Trade was steadily improving, and
better prices were realised for most imports.
A copy of the official notice by the Government of Buenos
Ayres, enforcing a still stricter blockade of Monte Video. is
posted at the Hall of Commerce, and excites a good deal of
attention on the part of those connected with the trade to
that part of the world, and a good deal of anxiety is felt to
ascertain whether our Government really will use proper ex-
tions to forward a termination of the war.

This Committee met to.day at twelve o'clock, the Right Hon.
F. Shaw in the chair.
The room was immediately cleared on the re-assembling of the
Committee. On our return,
The CHAIRMAN intimated that with the report of the Board of
Trade, the statement of counsel, and the maps before them,
the Committee considered they had sufficient before them, re-
specting traffio, without going further into that question.
Mr. AUSTIN replied that there was no dispute between the
Great Companies respecting the sufficiency of the traffic to sup-
port a line of railway in the district, yet there were
peculiarities in the kind of traffic which would require witnesses to
be examined about it, in order to do justice to his case.
After an understanding being expressed that the evidence oil
traffic should be abridged as much as possible, consistenly with doing
justice to the subject of inquiry, the examination of witnesses Wee

resumed.
Mr. R. Smith, mining agent to Lord Ward, was first examined.
There were 22 blast furnaces on his Lordship's estate.
Lord Ward's mining property was situated principally
in the
the parish of Kingswinford. The get of iron stone
district was 1,400,000 tons yearly. In the blasting of this cluan"
tity of iron stone there was required other materials, principal'?
coal and lime, to the amount of 4,212,000 tons. Altogether the
quantity of material annually in motion would be about 5,620,00 d
tons. The daily material in motion was 16,212 tons, an
the hourly 1,333. The export trade of the district Wls
224,000, principzlly to the north, and on the narrow gaUge.
He considered the narrow gauge best suited to the distriett
as it would prevent the change of carriages in convering
coal. The coal of the district was very friable, and cbavedg
it from one waggon to another would depreciate it Pesti!:
Hitherto they had depended on the canal, but he considered
baa
insufficient. He was a shareholder in the Canal Compani. an—
also become a shareholder in the Railway Company, from the lan'
feeling that had induced him to be a shareholder of the forteer:-.
the desire of affording the fullest possible accommodation to We
district. He considered from his experience, that competition be;
tween canals was injurious, and thought it better that Govern Men.
should regulate the rates of traffic for the protection of Public,
