Robbery in the country. --On Tuesday night last, the residence of Mr. J. Marcuse, (a partner in the house of Mitteldorfer & Co., on Broad street, between Fourth and Fifth,) situated on the Brook road, in Henrico county, about three miles and a half from Richmond., was entered by burglars, the lock-room broken into and plundered of a considerable quantity of groceries. Thieves in the country, as well as in the city, seem to be making preparations for Christmas. The appointment of an efficient patrol might be the means of bringing some of the rascals to justice.

ar has brought upon almost every department of enterprise. We wish them a happy reunion with old friends at home, and hope they will enjoy themselves over their Christmas cheer. If not as abundant as formerly, there are still left at every fireside old- fashioned Virginia hearts, which must cease to beat before they fail to appreciate Christmas. But let them not forget Virginia in their mirth. When they adjourn, let it be to invigorate themselves for the momentous duties that they have to perform at this, the most important session which has ever been held of a Virginia Legislature. The "winter of our discontent," we devoutly trust, has nearly passed awnd patriotic bearing of the Executive at Washington warrants bright anticipations of the future, and it is to be trusted that the National Congress may be thawed during its adjournment by the genial Christmas influence, and come back to Washington prepared to co-operate with the President for the general happiness of the country.

The Cattle plague in England — Terrible and Increasing Ravages. --The London Times says: "The ravages of the cattle plague are even exceeding our recent anticipations. The actual return for the last week, we regret to say, instead of being 3,000 is nearer 4,000. In the first week of last month the cases were 1,765; in the second, 2,580; in the third, 2,669; and in the fourth, 3,610. At this rate of progress, which is only likely to be accelerated, we may easily have a return of 7,000 a week by Christmas. This is an alarming prospect. No specific has been discovered for the treatment of the disease." The Royal Agricultural Society have resolved that its usual annual meeting shall not take place until next year, on account of the plague.
