EXTENSIVE PLATE ROBBERIES.—A robbery of a large quantity of plate was effected on Monday afternoon, at the residence of Mr. Wain, law-clerk to the commissioners of Birkenhead, Parkfield. The thieves escaped in broad daylight, without being observed, after having entered the house by the dining-room window, and secured a basket containing two silver cups, fish knife, butter knife, six gravy spoons, fourteen forks, some teaspoons, and two sauce ladles.. Ou Wednesday, a returned convict, named Hanly , was this hended at Birkenhead on suspicion of having committdu offence. There had been a plate robbery at a house in e oneßridgestreet 9f thelast roomsu.eek the, when of the house s e . He r v anit eeencounteredzed yt hteht ht er of itn and threatened to murder her if she gave the slightest alarm. The fellow then decamped, and the girl has been suffering from his violence ever since. The servant in question was on Thursday brought down to the Birkenhead Police-office to see if she could identify the same man who is charged with the Parkfield robbery. He was placed along with 15 other men, and the girl immediately upon entering the office pointed to him and said, "That's the man who seized me by the throat." —On Monday afternoon the house of Mrs. Hay, Bridge-street, was entered by a thief, the family being at home, and some electro-plated forks were stolen. A man named Curran was afterwards apprehended on the charge, but the magistrates discharged him. Hanly was remanded. RETURN OF CAPTAIN FElLDEN.—Captain (late Lieut.) Henry Feilden, of the 38th Foot, arrived at Bebington, on Friday, from London, having so far recovered from the severe wounds received in the attack on the Quarries as to be allowed to return to the family circle at the rectory, into which re • joiciugs were recently introduced by the arrival, from the seat of war, of Colonel Feilden, who led the forlorn on the eventful occasion. As on the return of his brother, soon his, the residents of Bebington prepared a demonstration. At halfpast six o'clock the whole population had lined the road from the railway-station to the village, which was gaily decorated gentlemen, p witlifiags. At the station the captain was met by the Rev. Redhead, w andho tenderedby ll,lr. .t nNeeui.l d, congratulationsp i tal- h a a. The r m ai d captainseveral walked with a crutch, and was assisted to his carriage by Mr. Redhead. Loud cheers greeted the segallant gentleman as he taken from the numerousdr aw drawn t o carriage,deende drtorpoems werethe s taatttiaocnh;ed, eanhdor. thes were . wasyveancbiaend, the rectory by twenty men, preceded b bearers of banners, the children of the national school, two and two, and followed by several private vehicles. On arriving at the rectory, a feeling address of congratulation was presented to the gallant captain, who, though very lame and weak, stood up in the carriage, supported by Mr. Redhead. After returning his acknowledgments for the gratifying expression of feeling in his behalf, he said he had been fully compensated by that evening's proceeding for all the misery he had gone through in the Crimea, and the injuries he had received, which, he could assure them, was not more than any other soldier there had to bear up against. He had been three years in the army ; and when he left England he was merely an ensignnow he was a captain. He had felt the greatest benefit from military service, and he hoped that no Englishman would be backward in rendering that assistance to his country which it was his duty to do.—The Rev. T. F. Redhead then addressed the assemblage, and called for three times three for the captain. The call was heartily responded to, and a similar call on behalf of Colonel Feilden, the Rev. R. M. and Mrs. Feilden, was responded to with enthusiasm. The Rev. R. M. Feilden, in a most impressive manner, returned his acknowledgments for the compliments which had been passed to his family, and, after some remarks from Mr. Clarke Aspinall, the proceedings terminated. The servant who has attended the captain in the, Crimea was present on the coach box, and was greeted with three times three. Henry Feilden, second son of the rector, entered the service as ensign in the 38th Foot, three years ago. He subsequently obtained his lieutenancy, and in that rank he fought with his regiment at Inkermann, and on the 18th of June in the attack upon the Quarries. In the latter engagement he received the wounds to which we have already alluded.
