the master inflicted severe drubbing
with his cane. Gumbo smarting under
his wounds, met Sambo, and said, All you

DAR1Ne RoBBERY.--The Jewelry store

DARING RoBBERY.--The Jewelry store
of N. Hazen was entered between seven
and eight o'clock yesterday morning, and
robbed of many valuable good watches
and chains. The robbers entered the
building through the Messrs. Phillips Bin
derry, and made their way to the second
story of the building occupied by Mr.. Ha-
zen, and cut hole through the ceiling of
the first story, and by the means ofa rope
ladder, descended to the store and took
the watches out of the show case. One
of the clerks sleeps in the store and left
for breakfast about seven o'clock, and re-
turned in half an hour. The rob-
berry was committed during his absence.
The robbers left their ladder. brace and
bit. and other tools in the room these
may lead to their detection.
We understood from Mr.. Hazen that he
lost forty-two gold watches that cost
500 each, and seventeensilver watches,
besides many valuable gold chains! The
loss to Mr.. Hazen is over five thousand
dollars-probably it will reach six thou
sand. This is the most bold and cum
ming villainy that has transpired of la:e,
and created considerable excitement yes
terday among the friends of the universal
ly known jeweler. The entrance was
singularly, cunningly, and expeditiousv
effected; but happening as it did in broad
day light, in the centre of the city, makes
it theme Of wonderment. We heard
that a suspicious character was ares
ted by officer Pys, just as he was leav-
ing OH Pittsburg boat, but at present
writing nothing definite as to the robbers,
has been ascertained.-Cin Com.

MORE FALsIFIcATIoN OF INTELLIeENcE.-The
New York Sun published few days ago what
purported to be the order Of the Captain.G General
of Cuba, authorizing the shooting Of the prisoners.
We copied the order into the Ledger, but we find
that, with the view Of keeping up the deusion that
the prisoners had no trial previous to execution,
the first sentence of the order had been omitted by
the Sun, the organ Of the Cuban iunta, which the
National Intellgencer supplies as follows:
ellis excelency, the Captain General has been pleased
to direct that publication should be made Of the decree
dered in the summary proceedings instituted against the
sy pirates arrested by his exceency the Commsndant-
General Of the Marine and whom he has placed at the dis
posal Of the supreme authority Of the Island"
Two or three Of the letters in the New Orleans
papers mention the fact that the captves above al
luded to we're regularly tried before court-martal
held on board the Spanish frigate Esperanto. The
Sun also keeps standing head over its telegraph
intelligence such announcements as these: " Gu
bans focking to join Lopez" "More Patriot Sue
cesses," &C., which, considering the adverse cha
racter for the Cuban cause of the authentic news
from the island, is one of the bodest attempts at
imposition upon the public which we ever saw
perpetrated by a, newspaper hila. Ledger.

FROM INDIA AND CHINA.

The last India mail brings intelligence that the
British East India Company has occupied portion
of HNDosrAN, called the Nizan,' territory, as Sc
curity for claim Of about $5,OOO,OOO, long due
and with regard to which more than usual forbear-
ance has hitherto been shown. The mismanage-
ment and disorder consequent upon the incapable
and vicious rule Of the NIzAM leave no chance Of
payment, and there be little doubt that eventu-
ally the usual process Of absorption will take place
with regard to the whole Of his State. 1t occupies
abouta third part Of pennsuar India, and is situat
ed exactly in its centre, with Bombay on the west,

SPAIN AND CUBA.

IL would appear from passage IN the debate
in the Spanish Cortes, which we quote below, that
the Spanish Government has an express guaranty
of aid from France and England for the protection
OF Cuba, if necessary. Iappeared that, at the last
dates from Havana, there were no British ships of
war in that port and only one French ship-a
steamer. The news of recent events will doubtless
bring thither portion of the naval force of those
countries.
On the sixteenth Of July discussion arose in the Con.
geso lower House Of the Cores Madrid call for in.
formation concerning the 0tecedents of the hast exped.
ton Of pirates commanded by Don Nacso Lopez against the
Island Of Cubs, in which Senior Bada, deputy who has
lived much in Cuba after speaking Of the annexation Of
Texas and the invasion Of Mexico, the attempt of Lopez
Cadenas last year. and the threatening Of another attempt
this year-goes on thus t

deep conviction that the Democracy Of North America will
compromise the peace Of the world"
After some further remarks Of the same Sort the Marquis
of MraAos, Of the Minister'S and very accomplished
statesman, replied
"Senor Badis has just pronounced discourse which
both the Congress and myself have heard with the greatest
pleasure The desire for information expressed by the gem
tlemen who have sustained the proposition for inquiry

He then speaks of the explanations given former
