MAIL ROBBERY AT BRACKLEY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, BRACKLEY, OCT. 31, 1827.
The Papers having given a very incorrect account
of the Mail robbery at this place, the following ac-
count is at your service :
Whilst the mail-cart, which runs from Oxford to
Northampton, was standing at the Post-office at
Brackley, on Monday night the 15th instant, and
the driver was gone into the stable for his horse,
the Northampton, Birmingham, Towcester, and
Coventry bags were taken from the box. The
Brackley bags had been exchanged, and Mrs.
Lathbury, the post-mistress, was retiring to rest,
but hearing a noise at the cart mentioned it to the
driver, who finding the Brackley bags in the cart,
concluded the others were under them, and did not
discover his loss till he reached Towcester, where
looking for a bundle of clothes, he found that and
the bags missing.
Early on the following morning, four bags were
found in a stream of water under a bridge on the
Banbury-road, about half a mile from Brackley.
The letters had been rifled, and were most of them
in fragments.
Two men were seen by the driver, by the light of
his lamp, when he drove up to the office, and two
young men of Brackley answering his description,
having been on that night in company, one of them,
Thomas Hattie, was taken into custody, whose
person was recognized by the driver ; but he denied
any knowledge of the transaction, and no property
was found upon him. The other man, John Spittle,
was not to be found.
Mr. Hayward, a solicitor, to whom Mr. Latlibury
applied for advice, despatched a messenger to Mr.
Freeing, with an account of the robbery and a de-
scription
of Spittle. Officers also were sent in the
direction of Banbury, and before night one Richard
Haynes, who had been drinking there with Spittle,
was taken into custody. Information being con-
veyed to Mr. Freeling that Spittle was supposed to
be gone to London by the mail from Banbury, a
Bow-street officer (Salmon) was sent in pursuit, who
took him into custody at Edgeware, and conveyed
him immediately to Brackley, where he arrived on
Friday morning the 19th, in time for an examina-
tion which had been appointed on that day of the
other prisoners.
Previous to this some discoveries were made by
Haynes, and he was sent to Banbury with an officer,
to whom he pointed out the place where part of the
property, amounting to about 601. in Bank notes, &c.
was concealed, and this was fortunately recovered.
And the bundle was found under a cock of haulm, in
Brackley Field, where it was evident the bags, or
some of them, had been ransacked.
The prisoners were remanded for a further exami-
nation till Friday last, when Mr. Peacock, the
solicitor for the General Post-office, attended, and

the depositions of numerous witnesses were taken
before the Rev. Mr. Fasvcett and several other Ma-
gistrates, which occupied them from 10 o'clock in
the morning till 8 o'clock at night, and the three
prisoners were filially committed for trial, at the
Lent Assizes, at Northampton.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A. HAYWARD.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

It is, I suppose, a subject of much greater interest
to you, i►► London, to know what are the real
opinions of the Irish with respect to the appointment
(which the SUN was the first to announce) of Sir
Anthony Hart to the Irish Chancellorship, than to
learn what was either said or done in the Catholic
Association yesterday. Though, by the way, you
should not forget that in the Corn Exchange you
may not unfrequently learn what are the sent►ments
of the Irish Catholics upon subjects of importance.
There has certainly been considerable disappoint-
ment felt with respect to the non-appointment of
Baron Plunkett to the Irish Seals. Some of these
reasons I have already explained to you; but to
all the well-wishers of Government—the supporters
of the policy of the present Ministry (and they con-
stitute the great majority in this country)—l ani
certain the appointment of Sir A. Hart will be most
agreeable. The truth is, we are sick of party poli-
t►cs, and the endless miseries and dissensions conse-
quent upon them ; and if a defeat to one party can
be avoided, without exciting disgust in the other,
who expected a triumph, so much the better. This,
I think, the Ministry have completely effected in the
present appointment, for there ►s not the slightest
doubt that the success of Lord Plunkett would
have been regarded as a triumph by the Catholics,
and a defeat to the Orangemen or Tories of Ire-
land. Now, Sir Anthony Hart conies to this coun-
try avowedly no party man ; his legal abilities are
(thanks to the London Press) extremely well known
throughout Ireland ; and, though he is not possessed
of the deep knowledge Lord Plunkett has of our
Magistracy, still, as his character and his love of
justice are well known, and as he has no factious
feelings to gratify, it is not improbable but that our
Magistracy may be deterred from all kinds of mal-
practices, and thus the new Chancellor prevent
much of that evil which it was expected Lord Plun-
kett would have completely removed.
As the long vacation is now nearly over, our
" orators by profession" are beginning to flock ►nto
town. We had, for instance, Mr. O'Connell at the
Corn Exchange yesterday. Although the day was
extremely wet, there was an immense number of
gentlemen collected in the rooms to welcome him to
town. He appeared in his Liberator's uniform,
blue coat, yellow waistcoat, and Associatio►► button.
We expect to have an extremely busy and interesting
term ; and I am told our theatre will open with
great eclat—of all which things you shall have due
and timely notice.

MR.GRANT--ROMAN CATHOLICS—WhiIe
Mr. CHARLES GRANT was Secretary in Ireland, be esta-
blished the Fishery Board (somewhat similar to the late
Linen Board), nineteen of the resident Nobility and Gen-
try were selected for Commissioners, five whom were Ro-
man Catholics, viz.:—The Hon. EDWARD PRESTON, Sir
JOHN BURKE, Bart., JOHN THERM', VAL. O'CONNOR,
and Thomas M'DoNNELL, Esqrs. ; also one of the Pro-
vincial Inspectors-General, and at least one-third of the
Local Inspectors, &c. &c. were Roman Catholics, all nomi-
nated by Mr. GRANT.—Dublin Eveniny Post.
THE MUSEUM AND TILE KALEIDOSCOPE.

—There are two publications in Liverpool, called the
Museum and the Kaleidoscope, the first published on Sa-
turday, and the second on Monday. The Editor of the
Museum announced, by bills on the walls, that he Would,
on Saturday last, give with his paper a supplement,
containing Sir WALTER SCOTT'S new tale of The Two
Drovers. No sooner did this announcement meet the eye
of the Editor of the Kaleidoscope, than he determined to
steal a march on his cotemporary, and, instead of waiting
until Monday, to bring forth his publication on Friday !
This be actually did, and the motives for his doing so are
stated in the Mercury, which contains four distict notices
on the subject. "In the last Kaleidoscope," says the
Editor, " we promised to introduce an excellent tale from
the forthcoming work of Sir WALTER SCOTT, which ap-
peared exclusively in the London Review of Sunday last.
It is looked for with such avidity, that, before the regular
publication day of the Kaleidoscope, we shall probably be
forestalled in several quarters. We have, therefore, for
once, antedated the Kaleidoscope, and shall publish this
day, at one o'clock." Now we have no hesitation in de-
nouncing this as a most untradesman-like proceeding, and
without a precedent in the whole history of periodical pub-
lications. It is evidently intended to crush a talented and
industrious individual, who has had the temerity to cross
the path of the Editor of the Kaleidoscope. What would
the latter say, if some one of his cotemporaries were, to an-
swer a temporary purpose, to bring out a paper, "for
once," on the Friday morning? Would he not be loud ini
condemnation of the disgraceful conduct of his " brother
Editor," and would he not load him with every abusive
epithet? And, yet, where is the difference between the
case under consideration and the one which we have sup-
posed? We are glad to find,
that the public opinion on the
subject coincides with that which we have expressed re-
speeting it, and that the untradesman-like conduct of the
t Editor of the Kaleidoscope is reprobated as it juetly merits.
—Liverpofl Albion.
