A Mademoiselle Legros, one of the dlancers at the King's Thea- tre, lately went from this country to Paris, having, as she imagined, carefully packed In her trunk jewellery to the amount of 8,0001. sterling-a propertv, of course, not wholly acquired by the agility of her " light fantastic toe," but most likely presentet to her by her generous and liberal cntretew:ur. On her arrival in the French ca- pital, she found that her jewel box was gone. The robbery is sup- posed to have been committed in London, by persons who were about her whilst packing her trunks. No clue has yet bet n diicovered that is likely to lead to their detection.-Moraing paper. TUEATRICAL CIHIT-CIJAT.
