EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF BOMBS. Quite a sensation has been caused in military and official circles at Sebastopol by the discovery of a systematic robbery of bombs from the artillery magazines in that city. From the extent of the discoveries now made by the police it would appear, says the Odessa correspondent of the Daily News that the abstraction of bombs and shells has been going on for a number of years. The prosperity which during the last few years appeared to follow the operation of a certain mechanical engineer, who 10 years ago was a working journeyman, and the display which this individual has recently made, primarily led to the extraordinary discovery. He erected a large factory, acquired a handsome private residence, and latterly drove about the city in a well-appointed carriage. This sudden and unaccountable prosperity attracted the notice of the police, who made a raid on the factory when large hidden stores of bombs were discovered bearing the Government mark. The arrest of the engineer led to the further discovery that an organised band of artillerists and others were implicated in the robberies. The police are of opinion that the burning of one of the artillery magazines in Sebastopol last year was the work of the band now under arrest, who presumedly fired the magazine, to prevent the discovery of an unusually large theft of bombs. To the same hands is attributed the mysterious murder about the same time of an artillery driver. The mystery which chiefly exercises the authorities for the moment is how the bombs were disposed of to such an extent as to enrich so largely the organiser of the robberies and his confederates.  It is stated that the solicitors for Miss Hairs have re-entered her case against Sir George Elliot, M.P., and that it is expected that the re-hearing will take place immediately alter the Whitsuntide holidays. An enterprising wine merchant in Paris has made his fifth capture of burglars under the following circumstances. There is no concierge for his premises, so he has caused his shop to be connected with the room occupied by his waiters by means of an electric wire. When the burglars enter, ringing of the bell takes place in the waiters' room, and they are thus enabled to capture the intruders. The wine marohant's experiment has been so suocessful hitherto that several other traders in the vicinity have been imitating hie ingenuity.
