The simple mention of the dates is sufficient to show that
this act of the Pasha has been entirely spontaneous on his

" On ti

Sultan preceding by two days the restoration of the fleet,
proves that at Constantinople they acted with sincerity and
good faith.
" It is the character of the two events we announce which
gives them above all importance. We can conclude from
them. that all the difficulties which disturb the peace of the
East are definitively settled, and as the peace of the whole of
Europe was connected with the solution of these difficulties,
the news which has arrived will be received everywhere with
the greatest interest."

ferring on the Pasha the hereditary possession of Egypt. This

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF BANK NOTES, &C., AT SAND-
BACH, CHESHIRE.—In the night of Tuesday week a serious
and extensive robbery of bank notes and bank post bills was
committed at the office of Messrs. Skerratt and Kerner, soli-
citors, in Sandbach. The villains having gained access to the
premises, broke open a desk, from a drawer of which they
carried away property to a large extent, amounting, it is said,
to not less than £l,OOO. From a hand-bill which has been
extensively circulated, offering a reward of £lOO to any per-
son giving such information as will lead to the conviction of
the guilty party, it appears that the money consisted of several
£lOO Bank of England notes, and several £5O notes, together
with notes of a smaller amount, both Bank of England
and country banks, and a number of imperial Bank notes.
Payment of the various notes has been stopped. Some sus-
picion resting on a man named James Hampton, living in the
neighbourhood of Sandbach, he was apprehended at Congle-
ton, on Wednesday, by police officers Clayton, of Sandbach,
and Reid, of Middlewich, and taken before R. Wilbraham,
Esq. None of the stolen property was found in his posses-
•

sion, but other circumstances caused the magistrate to r
wand him for further examination until Monday.

hen it was almost dark, for the pur:
ose of crossing over to Ulverston ; but it is conjectured that,
owing to the darkness of the evening, they wandered many
hundred yards out of the track leading to the ford across the
channel, and had got suddenly immersed in some pool on the
sands, or some deep part of the channel. About eight o'clock
of that evening the shouts of persons apparently in distress
were heard by persons living near the sands, but the dark-
ness of the evening prevented any assistance being afforded
them: The next morning, however, an active search took
suds, and the gig was found, with the horse and
ties attached to it, and both dead. The other
body was also discovered not far from the same place, en-
tangled in a fishing net. The bodies were then removed to
Cark, and on Tuesday Mr. Gardner, of Garstaug, the coro-
ner for the district, held an inquest upon them. On Wed-
nesday, they were both interred in one grave, in the yard of
the Parish Church, Ulverston, the funeral being attended by
numerous and respectable body of the Morecambe Lodge
of Oddfellows.

SINGULAR ROBBERY AND DETECTION.—One of the most
extraordinary cases of highway robbery and horse-stealing
ever heard of occurred last Sunday morning, on the great
road, a mile and a half north of Stilton. A son of Mr. C.
R. Roberts. of Akalton, between eight and nine years of
age, was riding to Stilton, to fetch his father's letters from
the post-office, when he was met and accosted, in the parish
of Haddon, by a well-dressed youth, about 15 years old, wuo
seized the reins. and desired Roberts to dismount. The
latter demurred; on which his assailant presented a pistol,
and swore that he would blow out his brains unless he in-
stantly obeyed. The boy therefore got off; on which the
highwayman mounted, and without another word rode away
with the horse towards Wansford. The pqor boy made the
best of his way back .to Aiwalton (about two miles,) and in-
formed his father what had occurred. Mr. Roberts called
two neighbours to his assistance ; and, after despatching
them in pursuit on the roads to Oundle and Peterborough,

. .. ,
)inaself set off on the great north road, and soon discovered
hat he was in the route of the thief. On ascending the hill
there the Whitewater toll-bar formerly stcod, two miles
i•oiri Stamford, he perceived him on the road ; and remem-
tring that he was represented to be armed, Mr. Roberts ap-

proac-ned leisurely, and accosted him civilly. The thief re-
turned the salutation like a gentleman, and the two jogged on
together for a short distance, conversing about the horse

which the young man was riding, the aces of which Mr.
Roberts affected to admire ; and the inquiry whether he could
purchase the animal, was answered with the observation,
that the price would be the only difficulty. On their reach-
ing the toll-bar a mile from the town, it turned cut that the
young gentleman had (as he said) " no change ;" but, Mr.
Roberts offering to pay the three halfpence for him, the two
again set forward, and renewed the conversation about the
horse until they reached the Bull and Swan Inn in St.
Martin's, where Mr. Roberts said he should stop for a time,
and he invited his companion to turn in and take a glass with
him. The latter agreed ; and on riding under the gateway,
Mr. Roberts alertly slipt off his horse, and catching the
Young man in his arms as he also alighted, pinioned him so

as to prevent his using pistols, and called for help, which
being instantly given, the youth was effectually secured. In
his side pocket was found a new pistol loaded with ball, with
several other balls, powder, &c. Perceiving that Mr. Roberts
was the owner of the horse he had stolen, the youth became
disheartened, and in a short time acknowledged the felony,
stating that distress had driven him to it, as when he stopped
Mr. Roberts's son he had only one penny in his pocket. He
subsequently stated, that his name was Charles Cole, and
that his friends live at No. 7, Carter-street, Park-lane,
Westminster; that he had robbed thein, and dare not re-
turn ; and that he was making his way on foot to the resi-
dence of his aunt. Mrs. Ord, Nunthorpe Hall, near York,
and slept. on Saturday night in a barn at Alconbury Hill. He
was given into the custody of the police, and on Monday was
hen back into' Huntingdonshire, and underwent a long ex-
iination before Lord • George Gordon,
by whom he was
I- committed to Huntingdon gaol for trial at the next
- on the charge of highway robbery.-.-Stamford Mer-
