TVIE NATIONAL REGISTER: THE 110..4X DETECTED. Though the following notice has by no means implicated any of. the parties in the nefarious hoax practised on the 91st ult. yet it certainly must impress the Public with an idea that they are not entirely free from suspicion. We trust, therefore, that some of them at least will seize the earliest opportunity of clearing themselves of the most re mote idea of a participation in such an. infamous transaction. The following notice was on Friday posted up at the Stock Exchange It ts particularly requested that all those Members of the Stock E x o l angc w_ho transacted i:teiiitess either directly or indirectly, for ;my of the persan , :- untler-mentioticii, on Monday, the ttst of Fe, /at nary last, will favour tie Committee with an interview:-- Hon. Cochrane blasston 111 r. I rislioway, itir..R. G. Butt, Mr. Suldon, Lord Cochrane, Mr. Mac Rite. We have heard since that the principal clue to the busi- MESS was found in the following singular manner: a morning paper having charged a Dover smuggler with being con- terned in this transaction, the man in order to clear his own .character, sought the means of finding out the real authors. He soon traccd the post boys who had conducted the pretended Col. de button to town, from them lie learnt, that, to their great amazetnent, the pretended express, who probably thought be woutri be too soon in town, had complained of their driv ing too fast as he felt himself rather unwell, and they in con sequence had slackened their pace. On their arrival into the town, atothe first hackney stand, the considerate express said, that their cattle must be tired, as they had driven him very well, and that he would not take them further, but step into a hackney-coach giving..tftem at the same time a Napo leon a piece. The post boys finding their suspicions in creased by this stiaoge conduct took the number of the coach, and through that, the pretended Colonel de Bourg)) vPas traced to his lodgings.
