SINGULAR COMBAT WITH ROBBERS.

(From the Journal des .Dbcds.)
About ten years ago nothing was heard. of but
the robberies and stoppages that occurred in the
passes of the Pyrenees. Above all, about the p-
lod of the fairs at Pau and Olaron, it happened
that men, at other times accustomed to contraband
trade, united in arms, in orderto plunder the wealthy
merchants passing into France. Under such cir-
cumstances, a merchant, named Benito-Marton,
was stopped in one of the passes, not far from Ga-
bas, by fourmen, armed with fusils and pikes. Two
of his servants who preceded him had been already
stripped, and compelled, in order to save their
lives, to crouch down on the ground, with
their heads covered with a cloth, and one of
the robbers kept them, with his gun, in
this position, while the rest went to attack the
Spanish merchant. The latter, who was journey-
ing without distrust, led a mule laden with 22,060
francs. All of a sudden two men appeared be.
fore him, with their guns presented, and demanded
his money. The Spaniard gave them his purse,
Aid] contained twenty francs, in different coins ;
but not satisfied with that sum, the robbers ap-
proached the mule, and were preparing to unload
It, when Benito, who kept his presence of mind,
thought he heard his servants, who followed him
at some distance. At that moment began a con-
test, perhaps without example. The intrepid
Spaniard seized with one hand the robber by the
neck, who threatened his life, with a pistol pre-
sented to his breast, and turned aside the mur-
derous weapon with the other, and as the other
robber menaced him with his gun, if he did not.
quit his companion, he had the address to uee
the one robber as a buckler, and to turn him in
every direction, in order to shield him frain the
other. This terrible and singular scene conti-
nued for half an hour. At length his shouts
were heard, and the two foremost Spaniards con-
trived to break from their confinement, and come
back to the assistance of their friend. Two of
the brigands stopped them, and in the iaeanwhile

of the Cour d' Assizes of the Basse Pyrodes,
on the 24th instant, the six Spaniards came for-
ward to bear witness against the prisoner; and
although he was begrimed with filth since his
arrest, and had on a handkerchief which covered
part of his face, the two servants who were first,
declared that they perfectly recognized him.

The decided manner in which his Majesty
has repeatedly expressed himself, during the pro-
gress of the negotiations which have terminated
so satisfactorily, with regard to his anxiety to
preserve the present Government, will necessarily
be attended with the most beneficial consequences.
The Outs were at very great pains in disseminat-
ing the opinion, that his Majesty was secretly
hostile to the Administration of Mr. Canning ;
that undue artifices had been resorted to, in or-
der to produce an unfavourable impression on
the mind of his Majesty as to the motives of the
Outs, which impression had since been removed ;
and that his Majesty had only consented to the
new Administration, from the idea entertained by
him that he had no choice. To those who have
been attentive observers of the conduct of the
Sovereign, the idea that he would allow himself
to be thus tricked into the nomination of an Ad-
ministration, acting on principles of which lie
disapproved, must have, from the first, appeared
supremely ridiculous. Still, however, we have
the evidence of all history for the fact, that there
is no assertion so absurd, but if it is frequently
repeated with confidence, will gain credence with
many. On this weak side of human nature, the
Outs, no doubt, confidently calculated, when
they affirmed so boldly what they knew to be des-
titute of foundation. But those who allow them-
selves to be longer deluded, after the anxiety
displayed by his Majesty to prevent all dis-
union in the Administration, which might
have the effect of endangering a Govern-
ment he was desirous of preserving, both on
public and private grounds, and especially after
the language held by him, on Saturday, to the
Marquis of Lansdowne, must be altogether be-
yond the reach of argument. The ranks of the old
Tories will soon experience the effects of the
removal of all possibility of future misconcep-
tion. That very large class of persons, whose
zeal for or against any Administration is deter-
mined by the manner in which they estimate the
probabilities of future favours, will, no doubt,
deem it incumbent on them, as loyal citizens,
when they perceive that his Majesty is decided
in his opinions regarding the Administration, to
approve themselves equally decided. Lord Eldon
used to say at the Pitt dinners, in answer to
those who asked what we had gained by the war
growing out of the French Revolution, " that
we had gained what we had not lost." His
Lordship seemed to think we had something
like the same cause for congratulation, that a
swimmer has who escapes from the jaws of a
shark with the loss of a limb. It was not indeed
so very obvious how the spending a thousand
millions of pounds in an attempt to destroy.
Jacobin principles by the sword, and to benefit
our Holy Religion, could ensure in the least
these objects, as it was, that it oppressed us by
taxation and loaded us with debt—but of that
by-the-bye. But if it be asked what we have
gained by the continuance of the Administra-
tion ? in answering we have gained all that
we have not lost, we may boldly say, that the
only Administration which it would have been
possible to appoint in their place, would have
commenced their labours by an attempt to undo
all that the present men have been doing for
years, in the way of removing the shackles on our
trade, foreign and domestic—they would have not
only opposed all endeavours to reform abuses
in every department of the State, but have
endeavoured to repress the expression of
public opinion by harsh and oppressive
means,--they would have used all the in-
fluence which the commend of the national re-
sources gave them, to thwart and discourage all
attempts to elevate and improve the condition of
the people, by the formation of liberal institu-
tions, and the dissemination of useful know-
ledge. We should have lost that kindliness of
feeling, which the liberal spirit of the Govern-
ment has produced in all ranks and classes, and
have witnessed the revival of factious bitterness,
heart-burnings, and jealousies of all kinds,
eaves-dropping and incendiary artifices. How
long this system might be carried on is a point
we are not now called to consider ; but that men
whose only claim to distinction is their enter-
taining opinions repudiated by all the well-
informed
classes throughout the country, could
have governed by any other than coercive and
repressive means, we hold to be impossible.—
Hostility to changes, hostility to innovations of
all sorts, form the substance of their political
creed ; and we need not observe, that all violent
revolutions arise out of an obstinate endeavour
to prevent those changes which the continually
varying state of human affairs, and the
varying opinions of mankind, inconsequence of
extended -knowledge and altered circumstances,
are constantly demanding. Let any man con-
sider the difference between England now and
what it was at any former period of our
history, the Roman or Norman invasions,
the Reformation, &c., and he will be struck
with the folly of any attempt to perpetuate opi-
nions, or to perpetuate practices founded on opi-
nions no longer entertained. The same stream,
which if allowed to find a channel flows peace-
ably along, will, if resistance be offered to it, carry
devastation through the plains to which it would
have given beauty and fertility. It must be
highly gratifying to every man who wishes well
to his country, and has the interest of his fellow-
creatures at heart, to perceive that our Sovereign
is not merely sincerely disposed to promote the
welfare of the nation, but entertains such en-
lightened views with respect to the means by
which that welfare can be best ensured. Our
hopes of the future rest therefore on a very dif-
ferent foundation from that of passing inclination
or caprice. It is understood that his Majesty
resents nothing so much as solemn imposture,
and that he has a particular tit in detecting the
.real man through his assumed mask. %\re have
heard that one great cause of his unconquerable
dislike to a Statesman of some note among the
Outs, was the perceiving that the Joseph Sur-
thee character was never laid aside by hint for a
tnomept.—Morning Chronicle.
The %Vhig part of the Administration, after
all their vaunting and bouncing, have contrived
to swallow the
bitter pill assigned them, in the
shape of Mr, Herries,
who is Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and, 0 such, the colleague in the
Cabinet with Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Tier-
ney. To be sure, the oracle of this part of the
Ministry declared, in the most unequivocal terms,
that no such thing could ever be ; but then
nothing is more easy or convenient than to dis-
claim such oracles when they happen to augur
inconveniently ; and the said oracles themselves,
indeed, are always ready to follow the leader,
and eat to-day, with all possible apparent appe-
tite, all the. words which they may have littered
Yesterday. This it is to be harnessed to party.
We would give something to be present at the

first Cabinet meeting at which Mr. Herries and
his Whig colleagues meet. It will not, we sup-
pose, be very soon ; as the Marquis of Lans-
downe, we know has proceeded from Windsor
to Bow-wood—there, probably, to chew for a
short time the cud of reflection—and to dress up
his Ewe in smiles to meet his dear and newly-
affianced colleague. Ministers, after all, are but
men ; and it may therefore be permitted us to
imagine, in the mind's eye, the kind looks,
and the still kinder - thoughts and feelings, of
the Whig members of the Cabinet on this oc-
casion. In the mean time, they appear to
be consoling themselves with that which has,
more or less, charms for every body—we mean
the main chance. If an Evening Paper of no
great repute is to be credited, the son,of one of
the parties has been consoled for the loss of his
destined Commissionership in England, by a
snug freehold in one of the sea coasts in Ireland,
of double the value—and that, too, one of the
very places against which these same Whigs
have, for years past, bawled themselves hoarse in
decrying its very existence. But still, how
grateful both the people of England and Ireland
ought to be towards these consistent, honourable,
and disinterested persons, who can thus submit
to any kind of indignity rather than incur the
risk of commotion—and even, we suppose, of
civil war—which might follow their resignation
of office at this critical period. What patriotism !
What self-denial ! The whole history of sel-
fishness and jobbing presents nothing like it.—
But leaving this strain which, though well befit-
ting the men, is not perhaps so well adapted to
the subject, we cannot but congratulate the coup•
try in having gained, in Mr. Herries, a Chancellor
of the Exchequer—the first for many years—
who himself really understands the minute de-
tails of the office he takes in hand. It does
not necessarily follow that an expert prompter
makes a good actor. Mr. Herries, therefore,
may not act quite so adroitly as those whom he
has prompted. And if the conduct of public
affairs consisted, as we believe it is too often
supposed to do, in acting, Mr. Herries might
not turn out to he quite so popular a performer
as some who have preceded him. But as acting,
in its theatrical sense at least, is not what the
country wants in a Chancellor of the Exchequer,
we are inclined to augur that Mr. Herries' fami-
liar knowledge of the subject will be of much
more real value, and enable him to render much
more real service to the country, than any thing
which mere prompting would enable him to do
through any of his predecessors. Whether the
Whig part of the Administration, compliant as it
now is, will survive to cheer and run their knees
into the back of Mr. Herries, remains to be seen.
For ourselves, we rather doubt it. But, whe-
ther they do or not, their early love will, we
trust, act as a spur to the new Chancellor of the
Exchequer, to place his official reputation upon
an eminence which will render their support or
opposition, both to him and to the country, a
matter of equal indifference.—Morning Herald.
We stated yesterday that Mr. Herries was not
actually appointed to the situation of Chancellor
of the Exchequer, at Windsor, on Friday last,
and we added the reasons_why such an appoint-
ment, in the strict sense of the word, could not
have taken place, inasmuch as no final settlement
of the Ministerial arrangements was made, or
was intended to be made, until after the interview
with which his Majesty was pleased to honour
the Marquis of Lansdowne on SaturAut_rhat_
interview, however, an we mentioned,
terminated most satisfactorily, a Council was
held yesterday at Windsor, when the several
appointments of Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Herries,
and Mr. Charles Grant, to the offices to which we
have already alluded, were carried into effect. The
following authentic details, with respect to the
recent Ministerial negotiations, are from the
Courier of last night. We may observe, how-
ever,' en passant, that the offer of the Chancel-
lorship of the Exchequer was not made to Mr.
Tierney, as mentioned in a Morning Paper of
yesterday. " As much misconception has gone
abroad with respect to what has occurred in the
re-construction of Mr. Canning's Administration,
agreeably to the gracious commands of his Ma-
jesty, it may not be unimportant that we should,
now that the salutary work work is completed,
state some of the facts which have come to our
knowledge as having occurred during the
course of these transactions. The public al-
ready know that when the King was made
acquainted with the melancholy event of the
death of Mr. Canning, his Majesty immediately
commanded to his presence those persons whom
his Majesty considered as best qualified to fill
the offices vacated by that lamented event.—
Lord Goderich and Mr. Sturges Bourne ac-
cordingly attended the King, and his Majesty
was pleased to signify his graciouspleasure that
Lord Goderich should succeed Mr. Canning as
first Lord of the Treasury, and as head of the
Administration, and that Mr. Sturges Bourne
should succeed his lamented friend as Chancel-

From the moment when the Tory faction
learned the repeated and decided refusals of
Messrs. Tierney, Huskisson, and Sturges
Bourne, to fill the office of Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and when, on the heels of Friday's
intelligence, that even at the then recent audience
of his Majesty the tender to the two latter gen-
tlemen had been reiterated, and had once more
been declined, it was known that Mr. Herries,
—pleading the original offer to himself by Lord
Goderich—was left without a single competitor,
the exultation of the Apostolic party knew no
limits. Choosing to deceive themselves as to
the grounds of Mr. Herries's promotion, they
still rudely and blindly contradicted the King's
own words, and would force Mr. Herries on
his Majesty, as "King's candidate," while a daily
refutation was given to their nonsense by the
multiplied proposals to others of his Majesty's
:.;‘linisters, requesting them to occupy the vacant
department of Finance. This new hope, how-
ever, of seeing the accession of a Tory member
to. the Cabinet, derived its value from what was
assumed by the faction to be the necessary con-
sequence of such an appointment rather than to
the thing itself. They had not the shadow of a
tioubt that the whole political edifice raised by
Mr. Canning would be swept away, and that the
old rubbish of the Eldons and Westmorlands
would be carted back to Downing-street, to
supply the place of it. The faction took for
granted that the Royal patron of a Tory " King's
candidate" for a single office, would be
equally zealous on behalf of ten or a dozen
other Tories, all more eager than Mr.
Herries had shown himself, to fill the remaining
posts in the Cabinet. The ex-Tories persuaded
themselves that his Majesty was desirous to throw
out the Whigs, and to whistle back again his
ancient task-masters to their respective places.
Of Lord Lansdowne they judged correctly,.wken
they anticipated his readiness to retire ; but most
pnfairly of the Sovereign, when they presumed,
on his part, an indifference to the Minister. In
our article of yesterday, we stated that the King's
desire—expressed in terms which added the
irresistible moral force of personal kindness and
patriotic solicitude to the ordinary and definite
weight of a " command"—induced Lord Lans-
downe to remain in the King's service, for the
express purpose, recognised and even suggested
by the Sovereign, of keeping the present Cabi-
net together, and of maintaining, in a course of
unimpaired activity, that great system of na-
tional policy, the execution of which his Majesty
had entrusted to Mr. Canning. If the Tories,
with the accustomed baseness of their political
character, seek to discolour those fair and gene-
rous motives which alone could have governed
the King in requiring the continued services of a
Minister so efficient as Lord Lansdowne, or of
his Lordship for submitting himself in such a
ease to his Sovereign's pleasure, why let them
go on to expose as they list the sordid and invi-
dious complexion of their politics. If they
save—as rave they do—on finding the last vi-
sion of their mercenary hopes evaporate, let them
see how the country, how the people of England,
with none but public interests to direct them,
twelve ibis intelligence that the Whigs remain
-in office---that the old Tory task-masters are
now finally reiated—and that the liberal Cabi-,
net, with a tiysteni of policy not factious but
national, endures. Is there, beyond the imme-
t
diate coterie of the ex-Ministers, a single Eng-
lishman who does not hasten to shake hands
with his neighbour, and felicitate him on
this much-longed-for consummation ? What
was the feeling throughout the whole metropolis
yesterday, and for thirty miles around it, so far
.as the news conveyed by this journal could reach
anal be replied to between the morning and the
night 7? What was the language of the public
securities, drooping as they had been on the
alarm of a dissolution of the Cabinet ? Were
they not instasztly .re-acted on by the assurance
that men and pritaiples would rest unaltered ?
If we again consider, what effects are described
by the foreign journals to have been produced
on. certain Courts by the illness and subsequent
death of .Mr. Canning—the precursor, as was
openly predicted among them,
Spain of a f‘ rhange"

BOW-STREET.—ADVENTURES OF A NIGHT.—Yes,
terday morning, Mary Ann M' Clair, a dashing woman,
who nightly promenades the saloons of the theatres, and
who resides at the house of a Jew, named Benjamin Neale,
the keeper of a notorious house of ill fame, in White-hart-
yard, Catherine-street, Strand, was charged with commit-
ting a violent assault on an officer in the army, and robbing
him of an eye-glass. Neale was himself charged with aesault-
ing the gentleman, and also with assaulting a constable, and
another man, named Mulligan, who had interfered to
save the gentleman from being murdered. The prisoners
had engaged Mr. James Isaacs as their attorney. The
prosecutor, who was attired in a military undress, and
whose face bore marks of violence, being asked by Mr.
Halls, the sitting Magistrate, who and what he was, re-
plied, that he belonged to a respectable family, his name
was Ashford, and ha was an officer in the army, absent from
his regiment on leave. Mr. Halls directed him to state his
case against the prisoners. He stated, that on Saturday
evening he dined at the Somerset coffee-house, in the
Strand, and afterwards went to the Haymarket theatre.—
He had taken a little wine, but not much. While at the
theatre, he saw the female prisoner and another girl of her
caste, and, after much solicitation, lie agreed to accompany
them home. They entered a coach at the theatre door,
between eleven and twelve o'clock, and on arriving at the
house of the prisoner Neale, the coachman demanded four
shillings. The fare being no more than Is. 6d., he gave
the coachman 25., and entered the house with the girls,
and refused to pay more. After being a few minutes in the
house, one of the girls said to him, " What will you treat
us with to drink ?" He told them they might have a bottle
of wine, if they liked. A bottle of wine was called
for; and being drank, a guinea was demanded of
him in payment for it. He said that it was a gross at-
tempt to extort money from him, and let the consequences
be what they might, he would not pay that turn, though
16..1 isbjegotion to pay what was fair and reasonable.
He was instantly threatened with personal violence if he
did not pay the money, and the female prisoner with great
ferocity attacked him. Neale came into the room, and
joined in the outrage, and he was severely beaten. He
called out for assistance as loud as he was able, and in
the affray his eye-glass and hat were taken from him.
He affected his escape out of the house in a filthy state
(they had thrown the contents of a certain utensil over
him), when a watchman, named Cummins, came up, but
refused to go into the house. A constable, named Carter,
soon afterwards arrived, and with assistance, after being
assaulted by the prisoners, he took them into custody.
Carter (whose evidence was corroborated by a patrol,
named Dickinson) said, that he heard the cry of " murder
and robbery," and went up White-hart-yard. He saw the
prosecutor in a shocking condition outside the house,
without a hat. On going inside the house, he saw Mrs.
Neale striking a little man named Mulligan, over the
head, with a candlestick. He took the two prisoners into
custody, after having been assaulted violently by Neale.
John Mulligan said, that he heard the cries of " Mur-
der and robbery," in Neale's house, and he went in with
a night patrol to assist, when Mrs. Neale said to him,
" you cursed scoundrel, why do you interfere with other
people's business ?" and he was dragged by the hair of his
head, and struck repeatedly with a candlestick. [The
head of this witness was covered with plaisters.]
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE asked if Mrs. Neale was in cus-
tody ? and being told that she was not, lie directed a war-
rant to be instantly issued to apprehend her.
Ann Driscol said that she heard the cries of " murder
and robbery," and saw a watchman named Cummins, who
belongs to that beat, go near to Neale's door, but he re-
fused to go in. She had seen Mrs. Neale and Cummins,
the watchman, drinking gin together the same night at a
public-house called the Fountain, in Little Catharine-street

poachers swimming down the water towards its
hole, from a nocturnal repast at Larbert darn-
head, and luckily shot the animal through the
head, when it proved to be a male, which mea-
sured, from the point of the nose to the end of
the tail, no less than five feet, and was thickly
clothed with fat. A person residing at Larbert
has repeatedly reared young otters, caught in the
Carron near the same place, and rendered them
so docile that they would fish for him, always
returning with their prey of their own accord.—

Yesterday se'nnight, the Chapel of Saint
David's College Lampeter, was consecrated by
the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, attended by
the Rev. Archdeacon Millingchamp, the Rev.
Mr. Payne, and the Rev. Mr. Williams, Canons
Residentiary of St. David's, several Rural
Deans, and a highly respectable company of the
Clergy and Laity, some of whom had come from
a considerable distance to witness the interesting
ceremony. A very excellent and appropriate
sermon was preached on the occasion, by the
Rev. Mr. Olivant, Vice-Principal of the Institu-
tion, after which the Holy Communion was ad-
ministered to those who remained to partake of
it. In the afternoon, the Bishop, the Princi-
pal, the professors, and many respectable per-
sons, benefactors of the College, together with
the Students, about sixty in number, (making in
all about 100), dined in the College Hall, and
the evening was appropriately spent in comme-
morating the names of those who had been
the principal patrons and promoters of the In-
stitution.—Cambrian.

Neale said that the statement of the witness was false.
Cummins was called before Mr. HALLs, and interro-
gated. He denied having drank gin with Mrs. Neale, in
the Fountain public-house, on Saturday night, and he stated
that he did not bear cries of " murder and robbery ;" the
reason why he did not go into Neale's house was, because
Sir Richard Birnie had told him that no watch had a right
to go into a house unless " murder" was called.

ness. Yes it is.

for of the Exchequer. The appointment ten-
dered to Lord Goderich was accepted ; but Mr.
Sturges Bourne earnestly begged permission to
decline the offer made to him. On the return
of the two Ministers to London, and on their
holding
consultation with their colleagues, the
utmost readiness was evinced by all of them to
concur in the selection of Lord Goderich, as
First Lord of the Treasury ; together with much
regret that Mr. Sturges Bourne could not be in-
duced to accept the other office vacant by Mr.
Canning's death. The conduct, in these matters,
of the Marquis of Lansdowne, and of those,
who, with his Lordship, had joined the Cabinet
of Mr. Canning, was in the highest degree con-
ciliatory ; and it is but common justice to the
silottldistinguisheddbeind iv
clearly pointed
time when reports of a totally different
nature
idt:als outbl question,
t o l e public, at a
that this
have been so freely spread with respect to them.
Lord Goderich finding himself unable to prevail
upon Mr. Sturges Bourne to accept the office of
Chancellor of the Exchequer, proposed to his
Majesty to offer the situation to Mr. Herries.
On that offer being made to Mr. Herries, he
felt considerable hesitation in accepting it in
consequence of the state of his health. Mr.
Herries, however, proceeded to Windsor, and
further causes of delay having there arisen, lie
was sworn in a Member of the Privy Council,
and the final arrangement of the Offices in the
House of Commons was deferred until the an-
swer of Mr. Huskisson, to the proposition al-
ready sent to him abroad, should be received.
This fact we communicated in the Courier of
the 18th August. Ten days after that date,
Mr. Huskisson arrived in this country, and,, on
the following day (the 29th) was commanded to
wait upon his Majesty. Of course we cannot
pretend to state what has passed in the closet of
the Sovereign, or in the intercourse of the Mi-
nisters amongst themselves ; but we know that
the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer was
offered to Mr. auskisson, and again pressed

WHITE NEGROES.--WC have had the for-
tune to see several of these examples of true
negro formation, with a perfectly skin.
There were two young men, cousins, a few years
ago, in Lisbon, whom we hired as servants, more
from curiosity than any other motive, and it was
not long before we had to dismiss both for utter
uselessness. They had all the laziness of the
negro race, together with the woolly (though
sandy-coloured) hair, flat noses, thick lips, long
arms, high calves, &c. of the African ; but their
complexions were such as we see among the
natives of the northern countries of Europe. One
was considerably freckled, and the other deeply
marked with the small-pox. These lads were
natives of Angola, and descended from black
parents. But there was an opportunity of seeing
an example of this variety, for several years, at
home, in a place not inappropriate to such an
exhibition. Some of our readers may recollect
an elderly, good-humoured, quiet, and inoffen-
sive, but queer-looking man, who used to bring
the litter to the wild beasts at Exeter Change.
He was in make and feature very much as
described above ; but fair in his complexion.
His hair was quite woolly, and hung in ringlets,
or rather tags, about his ears. From the cir-
cumstance of his wearing a cap nearly of the
same colour, people generally concluded he had
a wig, to suit some perverted fancy of his own ;
but the owner seemed to take a pleasure in un-
deceiving those who thought proper to pay him
a little attention ; and was at great pains, the last
time we conversed with him, to give us the par-
ticulars of his history. These having somewhat
faded from our memory, we went a few evenings
ago to see our old friends at supper-time—but
missing poor Tom Newsom, had the mortification
to learn that he had been for some time an in-
habitant of that world where we believe the dis-
tinction as to colour is of very small importance.

outside the door.
Sir RICHARD 131nNtn—Very dexterous indeed ; I believe
I recommended you to the situation of watchman?--Cum-
mins—You did, Sir Richard.
Sir R. Exams—Well, now I tell you that I do not
merely suspend you ; but I exercise the power, as
Act of
Parliament gives me to discharge you entirely from em-
ployment as a watchman, for your misconduct.

Cummins looked very piteously, but justice triump
and notice of his discharge was sent to the Parochial Au-

Mr. Isaacs put several questions to the prosecutor,
ford, and as lie could not swear that either of the prisoners
had taken his eye-glass, though he believed he had it when
he entered the house, the charge of felony was dismissed.
In reply to other questions put by Mr. Isaacs, Mr. Ash-
ford said, that he did not pay for the room, nor did he
give the girl anything.
