ROBBERY IN CAVAN. - On Monday night, the 27th instant, Dr. ROE's garden was visited by some of the "light-fingered gentry," who, after having ransacked the place, and not finding booty in accordance to their expectations, gave vent to their malicious design by carrying away the gardening implements, a bee-hive, and a basket which it is supposed they filled with the fruit they missed. On their departure they met with a Cactus of which, in their haste, they took a ravenous mouthful, but to their sad disappointment it proved rather noxious to be palatable. We are inclined to think, however, that pills like this would serve such gentlemen, and make them dutiful subjects of the law---"touch not, taste not," - for it was pronounced poisonous by that eminent and charitable gentleman, (Dr. Roe,) on whom this disgraceful and cowardly act was perpetrated. If such deeds as we have noticed recently, and this are allowed to pass with impunity, we fear the havoc on the new crops will be serious. On a former occasion we adverted to polite exertion, which has since become more vigilant, for the streets has the honour of their presence till a late hour. We are inclined to think that late patrolling is the only way to prevent such thefts.
USE OF CHLOROFORM. - We have pleasure in recording an instance of the successful use of chloroform as an anesthetic agent, which has occurred in the infirmary of
Cavan workhouse this week. The patient, a girl of 20 years of age, on whom amputation of the thigh had been performed, while under the influence of this powerful agent, remained perfectly passive during every stage of the operation, and when about to be carried to her bed from the operation-room, having awakened from the trance, asked the Surgeon whether he had begun to cut. The poor girl still prerseveres (sic) to say that she had no feeling of pain whatever during any part of the process.
MARRIED. - August 1st, at Keady Church, by the Rev. S. SIMPSON, James SHARPE, Esq., M.D., of Cootehill, to Jane, eldest daughter of Alexander McCOMBE, Esq., Solicitor, of Darley House, county Armagh.

At half-past eleven on Saturday morning, a party of from fifteen to twenty detectives, with Superintendent GUY at their head, assembled opposite Mr. Michael O'REILLY's South Great George's-street. Some of them made a forcible entrance, and went up to the top of the house, from which a large black banner, with a harp on it, was suspended; they tore it down, and afterwards got ladders for the purpose of pulling down the black curtains which he had in his windows, with the words, "pestilence and "famine" on them. Mr. O'Reilly was standing at his own door all the time with some friends. The police did not then attempt to arrest him, but in two hours afterwards, while walking with his wife, he was taken to the Castle-yard and there detained. We know not at present in what gaol he is. - Freeman
A BAD SPECULATION. - The People - The paper started by Thomas Devin REILLY, and some other Irish Confederates in New York - has ceased to exist. Mr. Reilly gives this melancholy history of his enterprize; - 'For six months we have toiled hard, night and day, and received no one cent for our labour. Agents, carriers, and subscribers owe us money and will not pay.
ILLEGAL MARRIAGES. - At an early hour on Monday morning, the celebrated FATHER GOULDING, against whom a warrant was issued some time since, and true bills found against him at our last assizes, for celebrating an illegal marriage, was apprehended near Belturbet, by an active member of the constabulary force from Lisinaskea, and lodged in this gaol. - Impartial Reporter.
