The following correspondence from Admiral
PoiSset of the Russian navy, to Mayor NAston,
explains itself: "Sir; As the rigorous season mas
set in, and some timely relief might alleviate the
suflernrs of the deserving poor, his imperial
highness the Grand Duke Alexis has requested
me TO plac3 fifteen hundred dollars at your dis
posal, to be distributed amongst the suffering

nv store of Mr. John Federhcn on Court street,

10 reach the desired watch, Bartlett took one on
the counter and made off at full speed. Mr.. Fe-
derhen and his clerk pursued the thief who
was caught going down Conhill and locked up.

The Boston journal SAYS: "The statement
made by the Springfield Republican, to the eff
feet that p. 5. Gilmore has contracted with par
ties in Springfield to erect the coliseum for his
universal peace jubilee, is without foundation.
The preliminaries Of seeking 4 location and
making estimates for the building have been as
signed TO the old building committee who viii
report at meeting to be held this week. A
proposition has been made TO the MECHANICS
charitable association of this city TO unite IN the
construction of the building, and Mr. Henry G.

MIDDLEsEX COUNTY.
The man Heating, who attempted TO XIII ms
wilein Littleton, last week, was brought before
Trial Justice Gerish, at Aver on Saturday
morning, examined on charge OF murder, and
held for trial at the February term of the supe-
rior court for MiddlescX county. In default of
bail in the sum OF 900 he was committed TO
the custody of Sheriff kimball, at the Jail in
Lowell, where he arrived the same day, sulen
and morose. The ball which he discharged in
TO his own body with the intention OF commit
ting suicide, has been extracted from beneath
the left shoulder blade, and his life is in fair
way of being preserved, and his crime eXpiated
upon the galows. His wife is gradually sinking,
and the hopes arising from her improved condl-
ton at the last report, were disSipated by re-
lapse, which occurred on Friday night, when
her dissolution was hourly expected.
Mrs. Heating, who was shot and MORALLY
wounded by her husband last week, still fingers
on the brink of the unseen world, her vigorous
constitution sustaining her against the slow dis
solution which must inevitably follow. On Mon
day night she was delivered of still born III
FAINT since which time she has been sinking rap
idly. An examination of the revolver with
which Heating shot his vile disclOses the fact
that after discharging the contents OF the two
chambers at her, he distracted the shells of the
cartridge in doing which il is supposed he acct
dentally exploded the third charge, the shell OF
which still remains in the chamber. The course
OF the ball lends additional force to the doubt of
the intention of keating to commit suicide, and
leads to the belief that he was attempting to re-
move the shells from the revolver in order to
maintain denial that the weapon was used in
the affair. Two chambers still contain cart
ridges, and about dozen more were found in
the vest pocket of the murderer.
BRISTOL COUNTY.
The Mansion house and an adjoining build
ing, owned by the widow of Zeno Kelly, in New

and its origin is a mystery.

The Middleborough burglares on Friday
night are supposed TO have been committed by
three men, two of whom, considerably mutiled

O'Clock. IL has since been aScertained that these
two men proceeded from Taunton via Mansfield
10 Pawtucket early on Saturday morning. and
left Pawtucket by the II O'Clock train for BoS-
ton. The horse and wagon stolen at Middle
boro belonged to Everett Robinson, ESQ. The
horse was comfortably blanketed by the rogues
before thev left him at Taunton. The town
treasurer had paid the state tax of 5000 on Fri
day. The burglars obtained 81 800 ia bonds

the stove, tables and desk were overturned and
