ENGLIsHMEN KIDEAPPED.-It Is given out at
tho British Consulate, in New York, that papers
have been transmitted to Lord Lyons protesting
to show that a number of British subjects not
long ago were kidnapped, and, after being in
toxicated, compelled by the Police Superinten-
dent to serve in the Metropolitan Brigade. It
is also alleged that they were not permitted to
to seek redress from the British Consul. Lord
Lyons, It Is further said, has had an audience
with the State Department in reference TO the
matter. Mr.. Seward takes the ground that If a
foreigner is voluntarily sworn into the army, he
must stay in. Involuntary enlistmcnts, of
course, are not binding under any clrcum-
stances. A full statement of the case was for
warded by the British Minister to the Home
Government by the steamer that sailed on Sat

They had taken their masters teams, three

The Robbery Of the Brooklyn Navy Yart
Safe.

No clue has yet been obtained, 50 far at can
be publicly known, TO the perpetratOr of tho re-
cent robbery of the Navy Yard safe, and the
circumstances that are developed indicate that
the work was performed by an expert, whom ii
may be difficult, If not impossible, to detect.
That 5000 were left in the safe because the
bills were small and would be cumbersome,
while the notes Of high denomination, amount
ing 10 more than $l30, 900, were all carried of,
Is a suggestive fact, and what Is most singular
is that during part Of the night, as we are
rredltAbly Informed, no Watchmen were on
duty. Il ia certain that the rohbeT was well
acquainted with all the facts, and had occupied
much time In preparation.
