DARING ROBBERY IN THE WATERLOO-ROAD.—
Last night, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a
most daring robbery was committed between the terminus of
the Dover station and the Waterloo-road. It appeared that
a French lady and gentleman arrived by the last up-train
from Dover, and on their arriving at the station, the
gentleman desired a fly to be sent for, in order to be
taken to one of the West-end foreign hotels. He gave
particular directions about his luggage, of which he had
a large quantity, and directed that two large boxes should be
placed on the top of the carriage. One of these boxes con-
tained plate, linen, silk, and valuable shawls and costly furs.
The gentleman himself saw this box properly secured, and
stated that it contained some exceedingly valuable property,
and when the carriage left the railway station both boxes
were safe. There was no person on the box with the driver, nor
could any person have taken it off the fly without the driver's
knowledge. The fly stopped nowhere on the road, but when it
arrived in the Waterloo-road, the box containing the whole
of this valuable property was missed, and the mystery is, in
what manner the robbery could have been effected. The
police were immediately on the alert, but hitherto no clue has
been obtained to the perpetrators of one of the most daring and
expert carriage robberies that has taken place for some time.
EARLY LAMBING.MISS °stens, of Fleetham, has
three ewes which have lambed unusually early this year;
the first, on the 12th January, had one lamb, another on
the 15th had three, and a third on the 18th had one. The
ewes with their lambs are all doing well.—Berwick Warder.
THE IRON TRADE.—The make of iron in the
United Kingdom at the present time is near 1,400,000 tons
annually. Scotland furnishes almost one-third part of the
supply—being 450,000 tons annually, or at the rate of 9,000
tons per week. But in the course of two months there will
be nine new furnaces put in operation in this neighbourhood
alone, and their combined yield may be calculated at 1,350
tons weekly, or 70,000 tons per annum. Three new iron
works have also been arranged for, which may be completed,
and have twelve furnaces—the number we believe contem-
plated—going within twelve months. They will give a
yield, if at all successful, of 1,800 tons weekly, or 93,000 tons
by the year. We have already said, that the present large
stock of iron is out of the hands of the iron masters ; and also,
that their make for a considerable time to come is sold up;
but the money sought by the present holders will have an
immediate tendency to reduce the consumption.—Glasgow
Constitutional.

DEATH FROM THE INTENSE COLD.—LaSt night
Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Catherine Wheel, Bishops-
gate-street, on the body of James Fouke, aged fifty two, a
fellowship porter. It appeared that the deceased lived with
his wife and son at No. 11, Angel-alley, Bishopsgate-street.
A few weeks ago he had threatening symptoms of apoplexy,
for which he underwent medical treatment. On Thursday
last he was again suffering from the attack, when he went
to bed. At nine o'clock he got up and proceeded to the
open air, having only on him a jacket and a night dress.
Ile was almost immediately seized with a shivering fit, and
was taken in to his. bed again by his wife. He remained in-
sensible till two o'clock, and then died. The surgeon who had
attended him said that the deceased probably died from the
conjoint effects of the cold and a rupture of a blood-vessel on
the brain. Ve-dict—" Natural death."

DRATII OF A GIRL. BY FlRE—Yesterday Mr.
Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Middlesex Hospital, on
the body of Catherine Reeves, aged 10. It appeared that
deceased was staying with her sister,a servant to a beerseller,
named Halls, residing in North-street, Manchester-square,
and that on the morning of Sunday week, whilst standing on
the parlour-fender, looking at herself in the glass over the
mantelpiece, her clothes became ignited. Her sister's master
came to her assistance and extinguished the flames with
promptitude, and then conveyed deceased to that Hospital,
in which she died on Saturday last from the effect of the
burns. Verdict,—" Accidental death."
