OPENING THE ENGLISH STATE PAPER Or
EICE.-Ilitherto the history of the American
colonies has been lacking in some vital parts,
owing to the restrictions placed upon access to
or use of the records preserved in the State
Paper Office in London. The policy of the
English government has undergone change.
Ii is now considered that nothing be lost
by an exposure of the secrets which up to q
recent date have been so rigidly guarded and
at the present moment it is not more difficult
to obtain access to any of the records of the
State Paper Office during the period of the
conouial history of the United States, than to
the books of well-regulated library. For
two or three years Sir Johu Romiy has been
occupied in having them duly calendered and
fndexed. The records of the Office will add
much valuable matter to the history of the
original thirteen States, and to zone more
than that of New York. a correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer sends that paper some
documents which show the records are likely
nIso to throw side lights upon the history Of
many men of the era.

THE fact is, perhaps, not generally known,
that when in Oliver Cromwell's time, the Wal
denses were so cruelty prosecuted by the
Church of Rome, he called for collections TO
relieve their necessities in all the churches of
the Puritans and Covenanters in Great Britain.
So heartily was this responded to, that con-
siderable surplus was left after their wants
were supplied, which remained in the British
Treasury; and this fact coming to the knowl-
edge of the Government, it was agreed that
the funds should be set apart for the support
of the Vaudois pastors. Accordingly, each OF
them, sixteen in number, receives annually
t40 from the Bank of England. The source
OF another fact of their support is even more
singular When Napoleon conquered Italy
he confiscated certain properties belonging to
the church of Rome and made them over to
the faudois. BY the treaty of Vienna, after
Napoleon's overthrow, this arrangement was
permitted to remain undistarbed, and in con-
sequence of it, each of the Yaudois pastors re-
ceiyes f2O sterling year. Taking into view
the simplicity of their manners, and the cir
cumstances of the country, the ECO, or $500
thus provided for them, afford an ample sup
port. 1t is certainly remarkable fact in his
tory, to find Cromwell and Bonaparte united
in producing such q result.-Banner of the

ROBBERY OF THE U. S. Mint.-A bold at
tempt was made a few days ago, to rob the
Mint at Philadelphia. Three respectable look
ing men visited the Mint, and were shown
through the building. Taking advantage of
the momentary absence of their guide, they
opened the cabinet of rare coins, with false
KEYS, and stole several $50 gold coins, and
two $50 gold coins, and bar of gold valued
at $40. Two of them have been arrested, who
gave their names as Charles Mervine and
Charles Morris.
