GREAT ROBBERY IN THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF
FLoRENcE-A letter dated Florence Italy, Dec. %,
says:
Fha interest in political events and characters is
at the present moment completely absorbed in the
general sorrow felt in the city of BenveDuto Celllni,
at the great and audaclous robbery perpetrated
late last Monday night, or at very early hour on
Tuesday morning, in the Sala Dele of the Uffzi.
l9l rings, of which many are amongst the most pre-
cious known in the world-one the work of Benve-
nuto Gellini; the head of a warrior enameled and
set in diamonds; yases ornamented with rubies and
diamonds; the richly wrought handles Of other fa-
nous lapis lazuli and jasper cups, the celebrated
green cameo with its ruby setting-a booty, Ia
short which the official journal represents as not
less than l0009 g0f in value, bat which, 1t IS whls-
pered may be rated st thrice that sum-all this has
disappeared at one fell swoop, and as yet no traces
of the plunderers have been discovered. The Pipg
belonging to Cosmo di Medici is alone valued at
$50 0O0f., on account of its immense topaz 1t was
at first reported that the famous onyx cup
perhaps the most precious article IN the
whole Hall of Jewels was gone with the rest; but
this it appears Is not the case the robbers having
only torn away its silver ornaments. They have
also left the caset of rock crystal that belonged to
Pope Clement YIII-the work Of Valerie Bell, as
well as the cup of Diana of Poictiers ascribed to
Benvenuto Cellini 1t would appear that the rob
berry must have been long premeditated, and it was
carried out in the most systematic manner The
thieves first entered the gallery by means of false
keys at the door usually entered by visitors, be-
meath the arcades Of the Ufizi Lunghl. When they
got 10 the landing place on the stair where the iron
gate leads directly up to the gallery, they forced
the lock- On reaching the first vestibule, which it
may be remembered contains various busts and
statues they made their wsy up by rope ladder
through the window to the roof, and then gent
along the roof to the first great corridor of the gal
erV until they got to the farther end, at which the
Hail of Jewels is situated Once there they easily
dashed through the skyight and secured their prey
From the investigations already made there appears
to be no ground for Suspecting any of the persons
Officially connected with the gallery. 80

We extract the following from London journal
received by the last mail:
The news by the present steamer from Australia
IS IN one respect the most important ever receiv-
ed. The problem as to the possibility of crossing
the continent from South to North has been vlrtu-
ally solved, and no question remains that a
land transit may be opened up available, not only
Tor the general purposes of commerce. but also for
telegraphIc communication. Mr.. Stuart who start
ed from Adelaide about last March, on an exploring
expedition, with two companies and a number Of
horses has returned after having crossed the
try to the distance of about LOGO miles from AIDE
laide to within 800 miles of the Victoria river.
Here he was turned back by body of hostile ma
tives but, as he had already reached 100 miles
further north than the point to which Gregory s
expedition in 1856 descended from the Victoria the
continent may be considered, by the Joint results
of these surveys, to have been fairly opened up
from one end to the other. Instead of arid desert
1t is described to be practicable country throughout
The full details of the observations made were for
the present, however, kept secret, the Parliament
of South Australia having voted e2500 to enable
Mr.. Stuart to start again with a larger and more
strongly organized party, and desire beng enter
tanned to prevent the triumph of final success being
snatched from him by rival explorers in the other
colonies, who might hastily avail themselves of all
his information. Still enough had been allowed to
transpire to give general idea OF the route ira
versed. Mr.. Stuart and his companions suffered
terri v from want not only of water but food, and
also from attack of scurvy. The part Of the
route in which water was totally absent, however,
was only sixty miles, In many parts there fine
grass besides splendid gum and other trees includ
ing at least four kinds of palm. very large salt
lake was also discovered IN the interior, supposed
from the bueness of its water TO be of great depth
The event had created great excitement and re-
joicng at Adelaide, and the genera. impression was
that number Of new provinces would ultimately
be formed of the territory thus explored and that
meanwhile the track might be made available al
most forthwith to facilitate communication with
India and especially the the export trade in horses
The new expedition which was to start immediate
ly was to consist of Mr. Stuart and one of his for
mer companions, ten other well-armed men, and
suitable number of horses"

however, been nioney-lenders for centuries, and as
they have made loans on easy terms, there are but
few estates in the country, proprietors IN the
cities thst not encountered By mortgages OF TINS
class. Taking into consideration the sitleeeds ano
liens by mortgage which are in the hands OF tne
clergy, the estimate of onethrd may reasonably DC
considered within the mark in filing their claim up
on the real estate Of the country.
The revenues derived from estates owned by the
clergy at one time were from slz,0VOp VV 20 Sl4,-

loans cannot be ascertained can an approximate
idea be formed of their magnitude on account of

receipts. however, must have been several millions
more. TEe church also gains from Sc 100000 to
So 600 600 annually from tithes parochia dues fees
pcus donations and requests, and from the sale of
devotional objects Although various ATTEMPTS
have been made to curtal the exactons of the church
such as repeating the laws enforcing tithes-the
clergy have, uutil very lately been able. by snir-
tual coercion, to enforce their demands From very
certain and reliable data, it appears that the reve
nues of the church are over twenty millions Of dol
lars per annun
Elsewhere the Extraordinary estimates the reve-
nues of the Government at fifteen millions of dol

some interesting Facts.

During the past year, 100 army Invaids have
been added to the rolls, and 81 have had their pen
sions increased. The whole number of army inva-
lids now on the roll is 1854, the aggregate of whose
pensions is S43S,055 81 per annum. The whole
amount paid for army invalids during the past year
is S4ll,947 20. 1t will thus be perceived that while
the army nyalids now the rolls is but seven less
than it was on the Both of June, 1858, the actual
payments amount to S27 $50 l6 less Than they did
during the preceding year. which is mainly attribu-
table to the operation of the of the Sd of March,
1859. requiring the biennial examination of invalid
pensioners, and reduction of their pensions in
proportion to the degrees of their disability

rolls the 30th of June 1852 but 81 remain to enjoy
these small tokens of their countrys gratitude
throughout the succeeding year. The number must,
at the present time, be considerably less, and in
brief period they will probably live only in the
memory of grateful country
1t lie an important fact that among the few who
now survive ia one who participated in the first
great battle of the war of Independence. Pensions
have been allowed to siXty-slx widows of Reyolu
tionary soldiers during the year, making the num-
Der now on the rolls 1924, diminltion since the
last annual report of $40. The whole amount paid
to this class of pensioners during the year was

acts Amounted to S256, 693 43. The whole number

TEE FIRST VICTORY.


The New York Times says that g the first vic
tory of the war is undoubtedly the brilliant coup
Capt. Jones at Harper's Ferry Elsewhere it
speaks Of 6 the mastery movement Of this "real
hero.n The Times must have curious ideas of
heroism, of brilliant coups and of mastery move
ments. This Capt. Jones was in command of the
Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, a place defensbe
against ten times the number of his own forces
Yet he no sooner heard of the approach of the
Virgnians than he cut and run first setting fire to
and attempting to destroy, the buildings and arms
The Times calls it a !" brilliant COUP because he
prevented some Of the property, by destroying it.
from falling into possession Of the Virginians. We
suppose it would call the burning Of five or six
ships Of war at Norfolk another brilliant coup
But how the retreat Of Jones from Harper's Ferry
can be called victory = rather puzzles us. The
Mexicans have happy faculty of converting
defeat into triumph, and Of issuing splendid pro.
nunciamientos claiming the victory Immediately
after disastrous repulse- but we think our North
ern enemies, in this respect can give the Mexicans
two in the game and then beat them. Jones' re-
treat from Harper's Ferry victory What next ?

Letter from Memphis,

MEMPHIS April 18th, 1s6l.
Ed. Crescent-Snce my last letter, which was
written on my arrival here, things have assumed a
considerably more warlike appearance. Volun-
teering, drilling, and preparations Of all sorts have
been progressing rapidly. We now have in this
city over three thousand troops, fully equipped
and ready to march at moments notice. Two
thousand more are under constant drill and will
be ready so soon as they can be furnished with
arms the scarcity of the same has been great
drawback, but every possible means will be used
to supply the companies as fast as they are formed
Fifteen hundred stand of arms arrived on the
Scott, which were furnished by Gov Moore, ofyour
State. Every sewing-machine in the city is kept
busy running, day and night, making up military
clothing, tent covers flags etc; and besides these
there are also several societies, composed of ladies'
busiy employed upon work of this character.
III retaliation for the seizure of the Hillman,
citizens have determined upon selling and detain-
ing all Cincinnati and Pittsburg boats which should
reach here from below. The Westmoreand being
the first one to come along, she was boarded by a
detachment of the Harris Zouaves, her cylinder
heads removed, and a guard placed aboard to see
that she did not escape.
The Crescent's proposition to meet the North
erners upon the field with just half the quantity OF
men, arms etc. and settle the difficulty, is rather
q binding" but the cowardly rascals won't agree
to even this. TIL want all the arms and every
other advantage and are not willing to fight US
unless they have them. More anon.
Yours Atm.
