From the letters which came by the same vessel we
learn, that the whole Russian armies are ready to
take the field at a short warning. Tie forces on the
Polish frontier alone are computed at 280,0u0 mess,
but this we think an exaggeration.
It is asserted that the Emperor has no confident,

whom the death of his Father was attributed, and
who, in consequence, has long since bleu is ret ement

The female who was foundin the building!: at Pilr •
lico, about whom so much sympathy has been excited,
turns out to be the cast•off mistress of Capt. M. She

Pangsra.amism,--Mr. West, who started on Sa-
turday morn a; from Jermyn-street, on a match
against time, arrived at Canterbury in 18 hours, hav-
two hours to spare. It rained, without intermis-
sion, during the whole of the performance ; and Mr.
West, missing his road on Blackheath, lust more than
two miles, so that tie whole distance was mote than
60 miles ; which, considering the disadvantage of the
weather, and the hegira...ming liquor, (pure water) to
which the pedestrian was restrained, may be consi-
dered as no trifling sporting achievement.
Friday evening, at a public-house near St. James's
Church, Clerkenwell, a man, named James Warne-,
undertook to eat in one hour six pounds of bullock's
liver, a pound of bacon (fried), two pounds of pota-
toes, and a two-peony loaf, with a sufficient quantity
of porter, which he completed in 43 mimeses, to the no
small surprise of the spectators present t and on Sun-
day the same man eat six quarts of mutton broth with
two two-penny loaves.
Fins—About six o'clock on Thursday night
very alarming fire broke out in a flax-dressers' room
at the linen facture belonging to Messrs. Marshall.
Hutton, and Co. near Shrewsbury, and in about half
an hour the roof fell in, and the building, which is 40
or 50 yards in extent, exhibited the appearance of an
immense furnace of flame. The fire, after preying
upon whatever could be consumed in the interior of
the apartment where it commenced, was completely
subdued by about 11 o'clock. and the extent of the
mischief is far less than was at first im igined.
Late on Saturday night, or Parly on Sunday morn•
ing, the house of Mr. Stephenson, the banker, in
IGreat Ormond.stireet, was broke opeil, and robbed of
silver plate to the value of between five and six hon.
dred pounds. The robbers left behind them an iron
crow, a centre-bit, a gienblet, and torn-screw. They
entered by the back of the house, and in a way which
is rather mysterious, as the house is surrounded in a
square of rivets, so that the :hirers must have come
from a bonse, either in Ormond-street, Pewis-place,
Guildford-.trio', or Queen-squire. Townsend, and
some tithe. llow-etreet officers, attended there yester-
day. They ware of opinion it was done by old thieves,
and that it was a itat-art robbery ; meaning that the
thieves had been informed by some person where the
property was, at it was kept in a vary concealed and
wan pike.
