She desired the prosperity of herse!f and-of all the world—France and England, and every other nation.

I hope that the 'present circumstances will end peacefully; but, let what ■will happen, the same people who felt so peaceful a short -time ago are now ready for any sacrifice; and, just as we con)d see Moscow burned, so shall we not shrink from lburning St Petersburg if necessary. If foreign nations are for peace with us, we shall receive it on honourable 'terms, and bless our God for that peace.

The officers followed, and burst open the first door they came to, when they dis- covered that Marr was in the act of coining base half- crown pieces, with the assistance of two women, named Ann Leech and Ann M'Donald. Marr made a blow at Leeds, the detective officer, but the latter pushed him against the fireplace, and kept him there until one of the other officers came up. Marr, however, after a desperate struggle, made his escape, and ran into the cellar of the house, from whence he passed into an adjoining building and made bis escape along the roofs of the houses. The police then took the women Into custody, and also a person named Bridget Fagan, together with two men, named Thomas Brown and J. Carrol.
