EXTENSIVE It °BEERY OF. MONEY, JEWELS, &C.—The' fol-
lowing particulars of a most daring robbery committed on the
evening of Christmas day, at the residence of Colonel Howard,
Grosvenor-square, were forwarded to the, various metropolitan
stations yesterday. Between the hours of eight and nine in,the
evening, it is conjectured,- some ,thieves obtained an entrance
into the house, and carried off property to.. the . amount of from
• £6OO to £lOOO. Part of the property is as follows:—Three- £5
notes, (numbers
,known,) about sovereigns in a red purse,
gold slides, 8 sovereigns in a bhie purse, which was in a note-
case, containing a number of £5 notes, gold repeater and a.p,
pemlages, by Scaire, With the family anus on the cases, a valu-
able gold repeater, by Tompion, another gold watch, fourteen
diamond' aim, pearl •rings, six diamond-and pearl bracelets, some
of great value, long Maltese gold necklace and bracelets, dia.,
niond dress ear-rings, a great number of gold rings, chains, &c.
and miscellaneous bijouterie. Nothing lint a small crow-bar
was found, Which had been used to break- open the jewel case,
and -from present appearances, there is little doubt the robbery
was a "put up"-one. One hundred guineas reward has been
offered for the detection of the offenders.

COUNTY OF DURHAM .ELECTION.—The battle of the " inde-
pendence" of the northern division of Durham has been gal-
lantly fought, 'and although aristocratic influence has gained a
temporary • aAvantage, it has not triumphed; the result to Mr.
Braddyllls a glorious one, nearly 3000 electors having declared,
by their suffrageS, that he is the Man of their choice. Sir Hed,
worth Williamson has been dragged into Parliament at the
skirts of "A Lambton ;" the dependents of the borough-mon-
gering Lord Durham, having been compelled to give the
N orth Dock hero a split vote. The coalition has been a scan-
dalous and a nefarious one, entered into. with unprincipled mo-
tives, and conductedto a final issue under the masked battery
that no.union of interests was intended. We assert, therefore,
th it Sir H. Williamson is only the sham representative of the
interests of North Durham. By the practice of a base elec-
tioneering marneuvre, and the exercise of expedients that ought
to cover the parties engaged in it with everlasting shame, the
minority has been converted into a majority. Threats, bribes,
and violence have done' their work : unprincipled men • have
been traitors to their country, and renegades to their principles;
they have sold their birth-rights for a mess of pottage, and Sir
eaworth is again sent to Parlianicht 'But we would rather
sustain twenty such defeats as the one which has fallen to the
lot of Mr. Braddyll, than one triumph like that which has fallen
upon the head of his opponent. Let not the honest electors be
discouraged. The " independent" candidate will re-appear in
their cause, and fight their battle again and again. Aristocra-
tic influence will eventually be put down, and the cause of," in-
dependence" triumph, lie has-received an-invitation to a•pub-
lic dinner on Wednesday next, and his friends are still in high
