bold Robbery.

| tim OF one of the boldest robbcrieS that was ev
er perpetrated in that capital.
1t seems that the Count is by no means famil
! lar with the windings and turnings of the me
! tropolis, and has often lost his way upon his re
turn his residence, No. 43 Rue ST Roche The
/ same happened to him on the night referred to
and at about two o'clock in the morning he fount
himself on the bridge St Michel one of thosc
| beautiful arches, which the skill of man ha,
! thrown acrossthe Seine. Whilst he was stand
ing there lost in admiration OF the beautiful pan
/ Drama which the moonlight night afforded to him
! he suddenly became aware of the presence O
/ two men dressed in blouses, one of whom in
! stantly clutched his throat, whilst the Other
with admirable deXterity, rihed his pockets of a
considerable amount of money and valuable
watch.
| Count Larraza submitted with christan-likc
resignation to their treatment, whilst he rapid '
calculated the chance he had OF having the ras-
Gals arrested. A guard house was not far off
and a clear strong voice mi 5ht reach the atten-
tive ear OF the sentinel, but the ruiiians seemed
also to become aware Of this, ard therefore took
the liberty of gagging their captive in the most
effective manner. When they had finished RI
fling his pockets, they held shor. conversation.
at the end Of which Count Larraza was asked,
"Can you swim 2 The nObleman, astonished at
the question: shook his head with unusual prompt
ness. ''All right, them" calculated his interlo-
cutor and Selling the unfortunate Count hv the
legs they most uncercmoniously thrust him ov-
er the parapet Of the bridge into the dark waters
below A heavy splash and faint cry gave
snthcent guarantee to the robbers in regard to the
fate of their victim
The worthy nobIeman was, however by no
means killed. nor was he with exception of a
thorough wetting any worse for the rough treat
ment he had met with. The Seine is very shall
low below Pon Saint Michel, and when Count
Larraza had gained footing. he found that the
water did not quite reach up to his nose, thus
leaving hlm when standing painfully erect, an
opportunity to breathe any quantity Of remarka-
bly, fresh air. The GAG incommoded him no
longer, since it had come off during the fall and
once or twice the Couut resolved to leap out of
the water in the sturgeon fashion, in order to call
the assistance of the guard, he being unable to
do this so long US the water covered his mouth
lie was deferred from this by the thought that he
might thus recall his assailants, and also from
the fear OF sinking quarter of an inch lower
alter the jump, in which case be would inevitably
be drowned. He therefore kept his periIous po-
sltlon, sometimes almost carried away by the
tide, and after waiting for more than an hour he
had the happiness OF pcrcciving a body of sold
lerS c.Oss the bridge, whose attention he arrest
ed Icy waving his arm above the water. His
strength was, however, nearly exhausted, and
when one of the soldiers sprang into the water to
rescue him, he cung so conyusIycly to the gal
liant fellow that without the immediate assistance
of boat, both would have persisted.
The perpetrators Of this high handed outrage
have not yet been arrested.
Not long since, it seems, a steamboat called
the cold kcn,uck," blew up nPar the Trinity, on
the mouth of the Ohio, where il is an establish

There was, strange to say great difficulty in
proving that Mr.. Jones had been on board at the
time of the Collapse, that worthy having been seen
potoroEsly drunk on the wharf boat lust as the
steamer left Trinity.
Many witnesses were examined to prove the
fact, until finally Mr.. Deitzmar, German, was
placed on the stand. Our friend J. S, was attor-
ney for the boat, and elected from Mr. Dctzmar,
this testimony:
"Mr, Detzmer, did you know the Ken
