Sir Herbert Jenner (Dean of the Arches) has talten the
name of Fust, in addition to that of Jenner, in compliance
with the will of the late Sir John Fust, of Hill Court, near
Thorribury, in this county, to which estate Sir Herbert has
succeeded.—Gloucester Chronicle.

DREADFUL DEATH.—An inquest was held at Corsley, on
the 7th instant, on the body of Hannah Singer, aged 14, who
suffered from a tumour, situated externally on the throat,
and which appears to have made sufficient pressure on the
windpipe to cause suffocation.—Bristol Standard. •

-PERATION OF THE CORN LAws.—Since the present
corn-laws came into operation up to December last, the
quantity of foreign wheat entered for consumption amounted
to 13,626,315 qrs., and the duty paid thereon has averaged
ss. 3d. per qr. ; that portion of it entered the past year was
to the extent of 2,306,766 qrs., and on this the rate averaged
3s. sd. per qr.

FLEET PRISON.—This prison was built on the small river
Fleta, now arched over, and used as a common sewer. In
the reign of Henry VII. this river was navigable to Holborn-
bridge, and the obelisk in Fleet-street denotes the extent of
it in 1775. The prison for debtors was founded as early as
the first year of Richard I. It was the place of confinement
for those who bad incurred the displeasure of that arbitrary
court, the Star Chamber ; and persons are now committed
here for contempt of the Court of Chancery. This prison
was burnt down by the prisoners, June 7th, 1780.

DEATH FROM THE EXTRACTION OF A TOOTII.—A few
days ago a young man in Edinburgh having had occasion to
have one of his teeth drawn, went to a dentist for that pur-
pose. On the operation being performed, a violent hemorr-
hage immediately took place, which it was found impossible
to stanch, and the young man actually bled to death. Cases
of this kind, we are informed, are by no means unexampled,
and persons of a hemorrhage tendency ought to be peculiarly
careful of having recourse to the extraction of their teeth,
in almost any circumstances.—Glasgow Constitutional.
Portions of the royal christening cake have been presented,
by the command of the Queen, to nearly 200 of the leading
nobility and her Majesty's illustrious relatives, enclosed in
white boxes, upon the covers of which is the following in-
scription, surmounted with the Prince of Wales's feathers,
and the motto " Ich Dien :"—" In honour of the christen-
ing of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. January
25, 18-12." The boxes are very tastefully ornamented, and
edged with silver.

We have heard, on what we consider good authority, that
a reinforcement of 5,000 troops is to embark for India, with
the least possible delay. We hope the report is well founded,
for it seems perfectly clear to all experienced soldiers that
even three times that number would not be more than the
necessity of the case appears to call for. On the other hand,
Sir Wm. Parker is said to have declared that a similar aug-
mentation of seamen and marines is imperatively demanded
for the China expedition.—United Service Gazette.

The Bristol Journal states that a deputation from the mer-
chants of Bristol, the Great Western Railway Company, and
the Great Western S4eam-ship Company, with memorials
from those bodies, on the subject of the establishment of
mail communication between Bristol and the south of Ire-
land, consisting of Mr. Charles Russell, M.P., Mr. Savage,
Mr. Harding, Mr. Guppy, Mr. It. L. Jones, Mr. C. A.
Saunders, Mr. Brunel, Mr. W. 0. Hunt, and Mr. Robert
Osborne, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, on Wednesday [week], at official residence in
Downing-street. The people of Milford are taking the
alarm.
WAR WITH ENGLAND.—CREOLE QUESTION.—TO the
unsettled points with England we now add the Creole ques-
tion, one of the most excitable of any in the south. We have
now the following knotty points to quarrel about :-
1. The N.E. boundary question—Maine and part of New

. .
England.
2. Canada burnings and revolution—Western New York, &c.
3. African seizures—Commercial seaports. ,

4. State Debts—The repudiating States.
5. The North West Territory—Western States

6, Creole case—Southern States.

Here is as pretty a kettle of fish as ever was caught on the
Grand Bank, and if a war with England can't be got out of
so many questions, we shall give up ship, and cry " enough"
at once.—New York Herald.
NEW CHURCHES.—Ten new churches are now building
in various parts of London, of which two are completed, and
only await the consecration of the bishop. Those finished
are the new church of St. Saviour's, Southwark, and the
church on the grounds of the Charter-house, in Goswell-
street. New churches in Gordon-square and Knightsbridge
are in a forward state. Two are building in Bethnal-green,
one at Camberwell, another in the New Kent-road, one at
Chiswick, and one in the Roll's Liberty. The new places of
worship will accommodate 15,000 persons. Intmost of the
above districts new schools are being erected for the educa-
tion of the children of the poor, and will be opened with the
churches.

CORN-LE,IGUE RIBALDRY.—The Sun of Thursday re-
ports what is called a " great" meeting of the Anti-Corn-
Law Delegates in London. In the list of these personages
are above a hundred men calling themselves, by a prostitu-
tion of the word, " reverend !" In the course of the pro-
ceedings several allusions were made to sacred subjects ; one
of them, from Pope's Messiah, "0 spring to light, auspici-
ous Babe be born !" introduced in reference to the Corn
Bill, was followed, the Sun tells us, by "immense cheering
and laughter," another, a stanza quoted from a hymn used
in many dissenting meetings,
_ _

" Come hungry-, come thirsty, come naked, come bare,

" You can't come too filthy,-Come just as you are,"
was received with "shouts of laughter," and we do not find
that one of the reverend agitators ventured a word of reproof
at the gross impiety of the speakers, or of indignation at the
use made of the poetry which is mixed up, in their chapels,
with their devotions (?) Out upon such canting knaves!

SHOCKING AND MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. SUPPOSED
CHILD MURDER.—On Thursday afternoon, between four
and five o'clock, a cab was driven up to the entrance of the
Queen's Lying-in Hospital, New-road, and in it were two
females, Mrs. King and a fine young woman about 20 years
of age, named Susan Howard, both of whom had for some
time past lodged together at a house in Davies-street, Berke-
ley-square. The matron made her appearance, and it was
intimated to her by Mrs. King that her companion was in
labour. After some little hesitation about receiving her, as
she was not provided with a ticket, she was at length ad-
mitted, and conducted into one of the rooms up stairs. She
seemed in a very weak state, apd was assisted into bed, when
the attention of the midwife was directed towards a bundle
which she brought with her into the establishment in ques-
tion. She was asked what was in it, and the reply she made
was, "Oh ! that's the child." The bundle was opened, and
in it was found a fine newly-born male infant, dead, and
having in its throat, just below the left ear, a deep and jagged
wound.—London Times.

BERLIN, FEB. 6.—The protest of the Porte against the in-
stallation of Bishop Alexander of Jerusalen, which was
caused by French intrigue, has been withdrawn in conse-
quence of the united representations of the Prussian and Bii-
tish cabinets, through Lord Aberdeen, who signified to the
Porte, in the course of last month, that it was not the inten-
tion of the British government that the Bishop of Jerusalem
should enjoy greater privileges than any other subject of the
Queen of Great Britain. Thus the distrust which was raised
in the Sultan's mind by the remonstrances of the catholic
powers has been removed, and the changes, of which the bi-
shop's appointment is but the commencement, may proceed.
You have no doubt heard that Konigsburg is about to be
made one of the strongest fortresses in Prussia. This measure
is highly popular, as indicating a greater separation from Rus-
sian interests. The last ukase published by the Emperor of
Russia, confiscating all catholic and Greek church property,
will have serious consequences. Such a violation of sacred
rights on the part of a power which desires to be considered
the protector of legitimacy in'Europe, must meet with gene-
ral disapprobation, particularly when contrasted with the
conduct of our King, who, by maintaining their equal rights,
is endeavouring to reconcile all sects and parties.
THE WINE TRADE.—FALLING OFF IN THE CONSUMP-
TION OF FORT.—The annual circular of Messrs. Shaw and
Maxwell, wine merchants, for the past year, states, that
'• owing to the generally depressed state of trade in this coun-
try, and in all parts of the world, the consumption of wine
has fallen off within the last year upwards of 300,000 gallons.
A very remarkable change has taken place in the use of Port,
which fifty years ago constituted 70 per cent of all wines con-
sumed, but has fallen to little more than 32 per cent. Sherry
on the contrary, has risen from 16 to upwards of 40 per cent.
French wines are gradually becoming better known, and last
year there was an increase of seven per cent, the greater part
of which consisted of Champagne, and various cheap spark-
ling wines under that name ; but many of the light agreeable
second and third growth red wines, as well as the finest first
growths, have taken the place of Port. Madeira has fallen
about two per cent, and, notwithstanding that there are now
very fine old wines to be had, does not regain its former re-
putation." Rhenish has fallen 15, and Marsala risen six,
per cent. Cape has fallen five per cent, and it was only the
temptation of paying only half the duty of any other wine
that induced the importation of a single pipe. Of the half-
million gallons that paid duty, a large proportion was sold as
Sherry.

The nature of the charge upon which a bill of indictment
was found by the grand jury at the Old Bailey last week
against Lord Ashburton, Mr. Francis Baring, and Mr.
Humphrey Mildmay, is stated by the author of the Bankers'
Circular to be as follows :—The bill was preferred by Mr.
Thomas Kinder, whose speculations in mines are stated to
have been upon as extensive a scale in South America as the
celebrated Mr. Thomas Saunders Cave's were about the
same period in mines .n Cornwall. " Mr. Kinder brought
out the Beal del Monte Company, whose shares of £4OO
each were in 1825 current among men of property, at about
ten times that sum. They are now worth £3 or £4 each.
Mr. Kinder, however, cleared a large sum by them, which,
we conclude from what follows, has been entirely lost. Sub-
sequent, we believe, to the realization of this profit, Mr.
Kinder was in Mexico, where he met with a son of Lord
Ashburton, and conjointly with him entered into purchases
ofland in that country, which caused bills to be drawn to a
considerable amount on the house of Baring and Co.,
London. These transactions, which occurred at least 15
years ago, have been the subject of litigation in our courts of
law. Messrs. Baring (the old firm) hold a judgment-bond
of old date for a large sum against Mr. Kinder, which has
not yet been satisfied. We believe we do not go too far in
laying it down, that any man, with or without just ground,
may indict, or cause to be indicted, other men for a conspi-
racy, with a fair chance of having a " true bill" found against
them, if the proceeding is conducted with suitable instruments
and befitting skill. We have stated a fact which may have
suggested this proceeding; and. without pretending to be
fully acquainted with the circumstances which have, in their
opinion, justified the grand jury in finding the bill, we have
no doubt that Messrs. Barings and Mildmay will treat the
affair with contempt—so far as it may be supposed to affect
their characters. The fact of the unsatisfied judgment debts
shews the animating motive for proceeding criminally in a
case which is fit only to be determined in a court of civil
law."

THE LATE DUBLIN ELECTION.—REASONS FOR THE DE-
FEAT OF THE RADICALS.—The following extract from a let-
ter from the Dublin correspondent of the Northern Whig,
assigns some curious and interesting reasons for the defeat
of Lord Morpeth :—" Let me honestly tell you the plain
truth, that we should have won the election, had it not been
for the unprecedented bribery of a section of our own party !
This is a shameful confession—it is humiliating—but it is
true ; and I see no reason why the truth should be concealed.
We had funds plenty. We had an acknowledged majority on
the gross constituency of more than 200 votes. We had
everything in our favour, and we would have won the city,
in despite of every opposition, had it not been for the perfidy
of some of our own party—of some of the ward clubs, to
whom much was entrusted It has broken down our spirits
—it has bowed us to the dust—it has humiliated and dis-
graced us—with all the materials for success among ourselves,
thus to owe defeat, not to our enemies, but to a section of
our own party. One fact I will mention to you :—There
were but few taxes unpaid on the liberal side ; and on Mon-
day evening last, the ward clubs were supplied with as much
money as they required, to pay the outstanding taxes in each
ward. This money was not applied to the purpose for which
it was given; and, on Wednesday, when it was painfully
found that some of the ward clubs were not bringing up their
men, inquiry was made, when it turned out that they had not
applied the money as originally intended, nor had they any
intention of doing so. The consequence was, that, as it was
useless then to refuse, the committee liberally came forward,
and again supplied the money ; and you may judge of the ex-
tent to which this perfidious defalcation was carried, when I
mention, that from one o'clock, yesterday, to four o'clock,
there was paid into the Paving Board for the outstanding
arrears of the paving tax alone, £7OO !—Another man was
entrusted with £lOO ; and when called on to account for its
application, did so to the extent of one 3s. ! In fact, plunder
and perfidy were the order of the day. But lam sick of this
subject—we have been defeated. Shame—eternal shame—
on the recreants who have caused it !"

The characle:istie loyalty of the people of Birmingham was
manifested in a peculiar manneron Tuesday last, at the parish
church, where upwards of a hundred christenings took place
the majority of the names of the males being either Edward
Albert or Albert Edward. This is a simple but gratifying
proof of the old English feeling.—Birminyham Advertiser.
POLITE INVITATION.-At the late election at Shaftesbury,
England, an Irishman made his appearance, and happening
to say something in the crowd to the candidates, one of the
Whig party exclaimed from the hustings, " Oh, Paddy,_ now

go to the devil !" " I'm much obliged to yer honou
Paddy's reply, " sure ye are the first gentleman that has in-
vited toe to yer father's house since my arrival in England."

SPREADING OF PUSEY ISM.—Of the 200 resident members
of convocation, at least one quarter are tractarians. Of
these some follow Dr. Pusey, who, as Mr. Ward informs us,
has a " strong feeling against Rome ; " others Mr. New-
man, who has "no such feeling at all." In one college,
where there is a considerable number of resident fellows, al-
most all belong to either the one or the other party ; and at
Queens, Trinity, Magdalen, Christ Church, and, I fear,
other colleges, there are tutors maintaining the same views.
In a college which I have not yet named an undergraduate
friend of mine was told by the lecturer in divinity that the
English reformation had in his opinion been carried a great
deal too far. Of the spread of these opinions among the
1200 undergraduates and bachelors it is difficult to form an
estimate. But I have reason to fear that the faith of a de-
cided majority of the more serious and studious of the youth
of the place is seriously corrupted. As a symptom, some
have the Roman breviary in their possession, and it was cal-
culated that on Sunday, December 12, at least 100 of the
junior members of the university were present at St. Mary's
Church, listening to a sermon which, whatever may have
been its object, had all the effect of an artful and dangerous
attack on the Church of England—Letter from the Rev.
C. P. Golightly.
THE FUNDS.—SATURDAY EVENING.—The funds were
firm to-day, with a shade of improvement in the quotations,
but with not much business doing. Consols for money 89k,
and for account 89k to 4. Bank Stock 168 to 9. India Stock
244 to 6. The continued rise in Exchequer bills, which to-
day stand at 245. to 265. premium, is giving occasion to cer-
tain speculations on the subject of the inquiries before the
commission appointed to examineinto the working of the
Exchequer bill-office, and of the motions respectively an-
nounced in both houses of the legislature on Exchequer bill
affairs. The conviction obtains that the claims of innocent
holders under the surreptitious issues are not meant to be re-
sisted, but the reverse. A material improvement may be
noted in the prices of Mexican Stock, consequent on the re-
cent arrangemeat agreed and ratified. between the bondhol-
ders and the financial agents of Mexico, and on the certain
apparent prospect of an early declaration of a dividend. The
bonds left off 33 to 4. Colombian 214 to 24. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents were 514 to 4, the 5 per Cents 1014
to 4. Belgian 1024 to 34. Spanish Active with the Coupons
224 to 4. Portuguese Fixe per Cents 32 to 1, the Three per
Cents 19 to 4. Brazilian 6.51 to 61. Danish 81 to 2.

AWFUL EXTENT OF THE RIBAND SYSTEM.—This town
was, during the past week, filled with confusion and alarm,
by the arrest of several persons charged with being masters
of riband lodges, on the information of one of their own
body. Most of the persons taken have been in decent situ-
ations, and of good character for their rank in life. The
person who gave the information has been sent under charge
of the constabulary to the castle, and it is rumoured that the
disclosures made are really fearful, and implicate the vast
mass of the Roman Catholic population of this county, and
several other counties, as being connected with the riband
system, which is stated to have been in vigorous activity up
to the present moment. William Fausset, Esq., provost,
hast also gone to Dublin on information connected with this
awful system of conspiracy, and is said to have received full
and accurate information, from more than one informant, of
all the lodges in this province, with the houses where they
meet, and the numbers usually attending, and also the rules,
regulations, passwords, and object of the society.—Sligo
Journal.

COLONEL WHITE'S AGENT SHOT.-It is with feelings of
the most painful nature we state that, on Thursday night,
Mr. David Cullen, of Carrickfad, within four miles of this
town, was shot in his own bed-room ; the ball entered under
his shoulder, passed through his body, and was flattened
against the opposite wall. He has been attended by Drs.
Knott and Johnston, and his recovery, though not despaired
of, is extremely doubtful. Mr. Cullen had been writing
letters in his bed-room, and had undressed when the assassin
fired at him through a small slit in the window which the
shutters did not cover. It is, we fear, a part of the murder-
ous riband conspiracy which was about to explode in the
country, and it is now freely said, that the person who gave
the important information referred to in the preceding arti-
cle, mentioned that an agent was shortly to be shot, and that
not less than 20,000 persons in this country alone, connected
with the riband system, were ready to turn out at a moment's
notice. Many of them appear to be respectable householders
in Sligo.—lbid.

That the excessive fluctuations in the prices of corn are not
" occasioned by the graduated scale," may be ascertained by
any one who will only inspect the parliamentary returns of
the prices of grain in this country before the introduction of
that scale. The average price of wheat in 1800 was 113 s. 7d.,
in 1803 it was only 565. 6d. ! In 1808 it was 795., in 1812 it
was 1255. sd. The fact is, that the excessive fluctuations in
the price of corn, observable everywhere, constitute a prob-
lem in political economy as yet unsolved. It may be noted
as a curious fact—it was brought prominently before the
agricultural committee in 1821—that some of our most expe-
rienced corn factors have, even in years when foreign im-
portations were hopeless, given up all attempts to calculate
prices from the actual state of the crops, even though they
go to the expense of an actual survey of the great corn-
growing districts. How, indeed, can any man calculate on
steadiness of price under the operations of an ever-varying
currency—now expanding, now contracting,
. constant to no-
thing but alterations iu the value of property.—Morning
Herald.

TREATMENT OF PAUPERS.—The town of Bromsgrove has
again been painfully excited, in consequence of the death of
a child in the workhouse, which was reported to have been
occasioned by improper treatment on the part of one of the
medical officers. The deceased, a lad named Cartwright,
was, with several other children in the house, under the care
of Mr. Fletcher, the surgeon, for an unclean disease ; and it
appears that, as it did not yield to the usual remedies, he di-
rected that a bath should be prepared with a quantity of
potassce sulphuretum : this bath was made so strong that
Cartwright died from its effects in three days, and several of
the other children were much affected. On Wednesday an
inquest was held, when evidence was procured to show that
the quantity of sulphuret of potass used was highly irjuc'i-
cious. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased,
Henry Cartwright, came to his death in consequence of being
immersed in a solution of sulphuret of potassium,' as a cute
for the itch ; and we consider the conduct of the surgeon,
under whose direction it was applied, as injudicious and neg-
ligent." We understand that a copy of the evidence has been
forwarded to the poor law commissioners.-- Worcester
Journal.

MAGNETISM a. TOTAL ABSTINENCE.—The Groningen
Courant relates the following. curious circumstance :—About
four years ago there was received in the Catholic Hospital of
Groningen a woman of 26 years of age, named Leantje Ry-
zelman, who for the space of six years previously had been
suffering from complete paralysis of both her legs. She had
been for two years in an hospital at Amsterdam, whence she
was dismissed as incurable, and was removed to her native
place, where she continued under medical treatment. For
the space of two years she took no sustenance, as her sto-
mach obstinately rejected food. During the interval of a
year and a half she bad no evacuation, and her voice was be-
coming more and more feeble. The patient suffering under
this complicated state of disease has been suddenly cured, to
all appearance, by a magnetic sleep into which she fell, after
having partaken of the Sacrament, which sacred rite her in-
firmities had, prevented her from observing for three years
previously. During this magnetic sleep, and on awaking
from it, she felt that she was recovering the use of her limbs,
and that the other symptoms of her malady were abating.
She is now so far restored as to be able to walk without sup-
port, and to take food. This fact, in all its details, is attested
by medical men, who attended the patient both in AmsterdaM
and in Groningen, who observed her malady with the utmost
attention, and who have made frequent experiments for the
purpose of mitigating the disease, and ascertaining the cor-
rectness of the patient's statements.
THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM'S RESIGNATION.—The
Bucks Gazette, a paper supposed to be under the influence
of the Duke of Buckingham, thus explains the cause of his
resignation :—" The Duke of Buckingham pledged himself
to the agriculturists to maintain, in or out of office, such an
amount of duty on foreign corn as he considered adequate
protection to the home grower. Now, had such an amount
been proposed and carried in the cabinet as the noble lord
deemed protection, he would of course have assented to it,
and remained a Cabinet Minister. The fact of his resigna-
tion suffices to prove that the reduced scale proposed was
not protective in the duke's estimation, and therefore he re-
signed. The agricultural body have much to regret in this
result, for it augurs no good to their interest, by which the
duke has stood unflinchingly and consistently since he first
commenced his public career. We shall not speculate on the
precise objections made by his grace on the scale proposed,
but we may be sure that with his desire to preserve the unity
and strengthen the plans of a Conservative Administration,
he would have given way had such a course been consistent
with his determination to stand by the farmers. And we do
fear that when the reduced ' sliding scale' shall be made
public, the agriculturists would soon detect the grounds of
the Duke of Buckingham's refusal to acquiesce in it."

INCENDIARISM.—BIRMINGIIAM, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
A messenger arrived here this morning, at three o'clock, with
intelligence that an incendiary fire had broken out on Blow-
er's-hill farm, at Rowley Regis, occupied by Mr. Edward
Allsopp, and requesting that the engines belonging to the es-
tablishments might be immediately dispatched to the spot.
Two engines were immediately got in readiness, and in a very
short time were on their way to the scene of the conflagration.
On their arrival at the farm, which-they had some difficulty
in finding, owing to the darkness •Oftlienight, and the bye-
roads through which they had to travel, they found that two
engines had already been obtained from Dudley, about four
miles distant, where the Birmingham and district offices have
agencies established. These were playing upon a rick of
wheat, which was found on fire, and the flames had gained
such an ascendancy before the engines were brought into re-
quisition, that none of the property could be saved. There
were, at a short distance from the burning stack, about eight
or ten ricks of wheat, and other grain ; but the wind having
most providentially set in from the quarter in which the latter
were situated, the sparks and burning straw were prevented
from communicating with the adjoining property. There is
in
cendiary,
Mr. a doubt that the fire was the act of an
Mr. Allsopp having rendered himself obnoxious to certain
bad characters in the neighbourhood by defending his house
against an attempt at robbery a short time ago, and his pro-
perty was in consequence threatened, on more than one occa-
sion with destruction.

.DISCOVERY OF A GANG OF THIEVES IN PARIS.—An
individual, named Linell, ostensibly a commission-merchant,
but suspected of being a receiver of stolen goods, was, in
in consequence, narrowly watched by the police. A warrant
was obtained against him a few days ago. by virtue of which
he was arrested, without the knowledge of anybody in the
house, and a souriciere was instantly stationed on the spot,
to lie in wait for any suspicious persons who might present
themselves. Ten thieves soon arrived, one after another,
laden with articles more or less valuable, and were succes-
sively arrested, a considerable seizure being made of jewels,
watches, clocks, and other commodities, besides a bale of
rich stuffs, most of which were found to have been stolen
from a commiseur-voyageur, lodging at the Hotel Montes-
9uieu. The next morning, when the preliminary forms of
justice had been gone through, a loud ringing at the bell an-
nounced the arrival of another visiter ! On the door being
opened, a young man, in an elegant ball-dress, made his ap-
pearance. " What does Monsieur want at this early hour?"
asked the police-agent. " I wish to speak with M. Linen
immediately." " Your business, then, is urgent ?" replied
the agent. " Yes (interrupted the young fellow, thinking he
was speaking to a friend or accomplice of Linell) ; I want to
borrow some money, as I rather outran the constable' at
last night's ball." The agent hereupon gave the dandy a
gentle blow on his waistcoat, and a sound of metal being
heard, the latter was requested to unbutton his under-
waistcoat, when, lo ! and behold 1 he was found to be com-
pletely " cuirrassed" with a large silver dish, which he had
just stolen from a restaurateur's, whither he had gone to break
his fast, after leaving the Opera-house. This fashionable
thief gave his name Dorfou, and stated himself to be an ar-
chitect. On being taken to the police-station, he was recog-
nised as belonging to a highly-respectable family. having for-
merly been a student ! We suppress his real name. Some
Furious discoveries were made in the house of Linell ; and
it has also been found that he had another residence in a dis-
tant part of the city, where several materials for coining mo-
ney were seized by the authorities.—Gazette des Tribunaux.
