A RosBEg's DEyIcI--A private letter from
a friend 10 Lewiston, advises as OF an attempt
at robbing there by burglar, connectsd WIN
q feature that is nct usual We believe.
The burglar made his way into the house,
but was heard and frightened out Of the prem
i,es before be had secured anything. soon Il.
I r he was gone, tho lady Of the house, VINO
lodged above, awoke, and discovered the pres
ence Of smoks. On going below, all the rooms,
save the kitchen, were found filled with smoke
Of singular odor. No FIRE, ashes or sv'den-
ces Of combustion could be found. The fami-
". after one search, again retired, intending,
however, not to sleep. This was asao'eloek
in the morning; ard they suppose they must
have fallen very promptly to sleep, FOR at sew.
en- their sluInber still continued, so that the hired
girl, who slept in distan, part OF the house,
had difficulty in arousing them.
There seems no doubt that this smoke was
narcotic in its nature aud designed BY the rob-
Der to act as quietus upon the family, while
he pursued his depredations; AMI that effect II
certainly had in inducing the morning nap OF
the inmates of the house. The smell did mol
disclose the nature Of the substance burned

INSULT TO INJURY.-Mr, Collins, proprietor
of the line of steamers which bears his name,
has discharged from his employ, Capt. Luce,
late commander of the i'll fated Arctic, and all
the officers and employees who were saved
from the wreck, and as if this was not enough
to show how little his mind and heart had
been benefited by the loss of wife, child, and
property, he has set his son, John Collins, jr.,
to abusing, in the public prints, Mr.. Dorian,
the third officer of the Arctic, who so gallant
ly and heroically performed his duty at the
time of that awful disaster, and Of whom
Capt. Luce said
dorian was constantly cheering on those
around him, telling them to keep cool and he
would give them a raft that would hold them

INDICTMENT OF THEODORE PARKER.-Our
Court report this morning, shows that Mr..
Parker has been indicted in the Circuit Court,
for obstrueting the United States Marshal in
the service of process against Anthony Burns,
in May and June last. We regard this pros.
ecution, at this time, as needless and unfortu-
nate, and we believe it will be regretted by
every sincere lover of good order and the pub
lie quiet. at best, Mr.. Parker's offence is
constructive one, and if our own recollection
faithfully serves us, government will find it
hass to prove even that. But, without enter
ing into the merits of the case itself, we think
it right to say that the prosecution is polite
cal one. that It is dangerous to free speech,
and that it can only result III opening wounds
which were already healing, aud Starring up
bad blood, which was already beginning to
cool. Political prosecutions are almost always
blunderS, and this one will prove no exception
to the rule. What Government expects to
gain by it, it is difficult to say. Private feel
ing may be gratiied, and private malice ap-
peased; but the prosecution, whatever may
be its result, will only make the execution of
the Fugitive Slave law more difficult than ev-
er. The Circuit Court cannot reasonably ex-
pect TO stop Nh. Parker's mouth he will
probably continue to say what he thinks !;
while his auditors and admirers will grow
more numerous and warmer with every sue
cessive indictment. Ii is out of the power of
his Honor or of Mr.. Attorney, to stop preach
ing or pamphleteering, unless the Fugitive
Slave law is amended by the introduction of a
special clause against Faneuil Hall, and also
against the presses and printing offices Of Bos-
ton.-B0Stoa 14tl0S.

To say that his lectures have afforded the very

doubt, the first popular lecturer in+he coun-

any clap trap-is but his honest due.

will be "The Higher Order of Animals, with

Gently received communication from Ma
poleon Buonaparte (now in the spirit world)
through the medium of the late Rev. John
Newland Maffit. The first point on which
inquiry was made, was, as to Napeoleon's
opinion of the biography of him by Mr.. Alb
bott, now in the course Of publication in
Harper's Magazine. The answer was quite
indefinite. A lady then inquired if Josephine
was still with him but only an evasive answer
was obtained to this interrogatory. To ques-
tons as to events hid in the future the ex En-
peror was more frank and open in his replies,
one Of which ends with the following predic-
ton:
{. Ere three months have passed, dating
from this hour, an assassination of a GRO Aned
head will astonsh and bewlder the magnates
of Europe, and overturn an empire in anoth-
er quarter, traitor to his king. but a loyal
man to his God aud to his fellows, shall turn
his strength against his master, and raise the
banner of the people. This shall be some
time after the first events of which l have
spoken. No more Tonight"
