ROBBERY OF AN IRISH EMIGRANT.—On Saturday, an Irishman, from Tipperary, who intended to emigrate to New Orleans, named Patrick • uleahy, went to the Central Police Station, leading by the hand a little barefooted girl, who, he s iid, was his daughter, and lodged a complaint to the effect that h had pane into a public-house near the docks, when affectrd by liquor, and drew out his purse to treat four " dairent" Im.icing men who sat in the tip, and who, of course, informed him that they also vivre goirg to New Orleans, and, as luck would have ir, by the FOMC ship. In a little time, when he became " complai,ly disguised" in drink, they I d him out, and, in one of the back streets, drew the purse, containing forte-seven sovereigns, out of his pocket, gave him a pitch, head foremost, into the channel, and took to their h. els. The truth of this story rests, of misuse, wi!h himself, thone.h it is by no means improbable. From the ioripossitiiiity of identification, the thieves have not been futinit.

MUNIFICENT BEQUEST FOR EDUCATIONAL PUlti rosss.—We learn that the late John Owens, Esq., o Manchester, has left the bulk of his large property so as to rooter an imphrtant benefit upon the community of that town, a,.d perhaps ultimately upon that of South Lancashire, 13v his will, after numerous liberal bequests to h's own relatives and connections, and to the local charities, he his given the .res,due of his personal estate to tru-tees, to be applied for the purpose of affording to youths of the age of fourteen years and upward, instructon in the branches of education taught at the English universitics, tree from the religious tests which limit the extension of university education. The trustees fur this purpose include the mayor, dean. and parliamentary representatives of Manchester, with other gentlemen of local retitliPtion and influence. The recipients of the benefits of the trust fund are not restricted to any local limits, but preference is to be given in case of need to the children of inhabitants of the borough and its vicinity, within two miles, and in the next place, of the pashamentarc division of South Lancashire. The amount of the fund which will eventually be 'devoted to this important purpose cannot, of course, he yet known • but we understand that it will probably be such as to admit of causing out the testator's benevolent views on an extensive plan.  ACCIDiiNT 10 A MAIL STlGAblrili.—AS the Live:oo3l and Dublin mail steamer Prince was approaching the entrance to Dublin Bay, in a dense fog, on Monday morning, she struck against the rocks off the Hill of Howtit. The force of the collision, and the confusion on board, caused the passengers to hurry on deck in a state of great alarm. . .  The accident might have been a serious one had it not been for the strength of the bowsprit, which sustained the whole shock of the collision. She was got under weigh again in the course of a short lime. pursued her course to Kingstown, and yesterday morning arrived here on her return trip. The damage was very trifling in amount, and no blame, so far as we have heard, is attachable to any one on board. She was fortunately only going at the rate of one knot an hour, io consequence of the fog. Had she been going at the rate of three or four, the consequences might have b-en dreadful.
