Extraordinary Thett.-On the first day
of March most extraordinary THEFT was
committed ia the conyentual church oil
St. Francis d'Assisse, after the celebration
of solemn funeral service for the late
Queen of Spain, Isabella de Braganza.
The decorations of this occasion are esti.
mated to have cost two millions OF Real
Velon (about Slo0,0O0.) The concourse
of people present was immense. When the
officiating bishop had concluded the ser
vice, his pontifical robe and ornaments,
according to the established custom OF
Spain, were laid on massy plateau OF
silver, and the whole placed on the table
called credential by one of the prelate's
pages. Immediately person advanced
and made most profound reverence TO-
wards the altar, took the plateau, the
rich ornaments of gold and embroidery.
the mitre, ornamented with precious stones,
and the black cope which had been ex-
pressly made for this occasion, and car
ried the whole off! Through the church,
and for a considerable distance outside,
he had to proceed through double line
Of soldiers, who permitted him to pass
without interruption, thinking him to be
employed in carrying the episcopal robes,
&c. to the bishops house. The prelate's
servants, not finding in the sacristy either
the plateau or the ornaments, also believed
that the man who took them off the table
was seryitor of the convent, and that he
had carried them TO the bishops. The
illusion soon ceased; ard nothing can
equal peoples establishment at the cool,
audacious, calculating habits of this sac
religious thief, who completely escaped
with his prize, aud has not since been
heard of.

An extraordinary drought reigas over
the country. A gentleman from Cumber-
land County writes that at the date of his
letter they had not had rain for 81 days.
Here We have seen bat two short showers
for As days. Vegetation suffers to a
great degree. To all the upper country,
the crop of oats and corn is seriously in-
jured. The streams of water partake Of
the general visitation. Many of the mill
streams are exhausted, and the mills are
stopped. Meal is scarce and dear. The
James river is extremely low. The basin
in this city is q feet lower than its ordina-
ry level. The canal can scarcely, even
in the morning, float bateau with hhds:
OF tobacco. If the drought continues a
few days longer, it will not float an egg
shell. More than fifty boats, scarcely
half loaded, are now lying at the locks,
unable to descend. The manufacturing
mills are impeded by the want of wheat
to be ground. Several vessels are wait
ing below, for the tobacco which is de-
iayed on the river.
