W. Watkins,' and re plete with misrepresentation, is now in course of distribution in Lon don. 'This handbill charges nineteen omissions and fourteen other errors—in all thirty-three actual mistakes in a work containing up wards of ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN THOUSAND distinct names or firms. In the handbill F. W. Watkins' charges the Post office London Directory for 1853,' with having improperly omitted, in Cannon-street, City, the names of various persons or firms, which. in truth (although inserted as at Cannon-street in Watkin's Directory for 1353), are not to be found in Cannon-street at all. And by the somewhat extraordinary process of multiplying the oxe thousand five hundred and eighty-four columns of print in the Post office ' Street Directory,' by these blunders in Watkins's Directory, he arrives at the conclusion, and actually represents that there are thirty thousand errors of ` omission' in the Post Office London Directory for 1853.' The following' are extracts from F. W. Watkins's hand- bill:— "Names omitted in Cannon-street, City, in the Post Office Lou den Directory for 1853. See page 174." 19. British Colonial Sugar Company.' Of this 'omission' the following Certificate will sufficiently dis pose :—" In a handbill wive in course of circulation, and having the signature 'F. W. Watkins,' it is alleged that the offices of the British Colonial Sugar Company' are at 19, Cannon-street, City. Such is not the fact. These offices remain, as stated in the • Post Office London Directory for 1853,' at 10a, King's Arms-yard, Moor gate street. The entry at page 70, of Watkins's Directory for 1853 —` British Colonial Sugar Company, It. Smith, sec., 19, Cannon street,' is therefore erroneous. " (Signed) GEORGE F. SIdITII, for It.

But the following Certificate will prove the accuracy of the Post Office Directory': —" We have seen a handbill signed' F. W. Watkins,' in which an attack is made oil the Post Office London Directory for 1853' for not having given the address of our firm at 64 Cannon-street, City. It is not true that our establishment is, or is intended to be, at 64 Cannon-street: it remains, as stated in the 'Post Office Directory for 1853,' at 6, 1. ell court " The insertion of our tinu in Watkins's Directory for 1853, at 64, Cannon-street is, therefore, a blunder.

STERRY, STERRY & CO. " 143, Boro' lligh-street, 18 Dec. 1852." - Another name, charged by P. W. Watkins' as improperly omitted, at 64, Cannon-street, in the Post Office Directory for 1853,' is thus slated in his handbill :- 64, Shindler, Robert, solicitor.' This false charge is disposed of by the following Certificate : "There is no person of the name of Robert Shindler in practice as a solicitor, or holding offices at all in this house. " G 4, Canno.a-street, City, 9 Dec., 1852. (Signed) B. PERKINS." In the belief that we have, for the present. sufficiently disposed of ` F. W. Watkins's' calculation as to the 30,000 omissions, we pas 3 to some others of his statements included in the THIRTY-THREE names. It is within the knowledge of every one possessing any experience in commercial affairs, that many firms or trades, after the decease of the original proprietors, continue to be carried on in the same names—as Coutts & Co. "Child & Co.,' &c., &c., &c. " Aston I, box and ivory rule maker, 25, Old Compton Street, dead eight years ; still this name appears in the Post Office London Directory for 18532 " Certificate thereupon :—" In a circular recently issued by' F. W. Watkins,' it is stated that the name of I. Ashton, 25, Old Compton street,' is an error. I hereby state that it was inserted by my authority, the business being, like many others (such as Pickford & Co.), carried on in the original name. " (Signed) GEORGE MANDEB. " 25, Old Compton-street, 6 December, 1852." BANKERS, Anether statement in the handbill is the following : " Conne Nicholas, glass engraver, 33, Princes-street, Leicester square, dead two years; still this appears in the' Post Office London Directory for 1853"' Certificate —" Having observed that it is stated in a circular re cently issued by the proprietor of Watkins's Commercial Directory,' that the name of N. Conne is inserted in error in the `Post Office London Directory,' I beg to state that it was inserted at my particu lar request, the business being still carried on under that name by myself and the executrix. " (Signed) W. S. GOODWIN. " 33, Princest-street, 6th December, 1852." The following is another of the statements in the handbill : " Leo. Chas. E. academy, 18, Goodge-street, dead twelve months ; still this name appears in the ' Post Office London Directory for 1853.' " Certificate—" It was at my request that my husband's name was kept in the • Landon Post Office Directory for 1853.' " (Signed) LAURA E, LEO. " 18, Goodge .street, 9th December, 1852." It will doubthass be generally considered that we have herein dealt sufficiently with the mendacious handbill : should F. W. Watkins further cireul. at e it in the teeth of the foregoing certificates, we shall make a far more thorough exposure of its sophistries and falsehoods. KELLY and CO. 19 and 20, Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar. 14th December, 1852. MI S R 1 F. I 4P RE S EN T A T lON-WATKINS'S DIREMORY.—We have, for about a month past, observed in several news papers, prefixed or affixed to our announcements of the " Post Mc a London Directory for 1853," an advertisement in which it is al wed that"' Watkins's General London Direc ory and Court Guide for 1853' contains upwards of 127,000 names, being 27,000 more tin in will be found in any other Directory of London ever published." It is not the fact that " Watkins's Directory for 1853" contains !mow more names than the " Post Office London Directory for 1.853," or even so many names as that work. The arrangement, ti armed in the Post Office " .iTREET DIRECTORY," and in Watkins's ' STREET KEY." The " Street Directory" in the Post Office Di rectory contains 114,048 names or firms, while Watkins's cont: Ins but 113,410. In the other divisions of the work, containing natr tes distinct from those in the Street Directory, or information of a different • character, the disproportion is !tore marked. In the names of Government OfliCers, for instance, the Post Office has 7.000' names, while Watkins's has very much less than 3,000, and Wat ens's contains no Alphabet cal List of, or Index to these names, so. that one name cannot be found without wading through the enti re. In the Postal division the disproportion is still greater, while I n Watkins's Directory this division Is devoid of any Index ; nor is ft !ere any Index to the Street Key, or to the List of Trades, or to th .e. Legal Directory. We should' not have made this announcement I sot for the misrepresentation that " Watkins's Direc tory for 1853" cc attains '27,000 " more names than any other Direc tory of London e ver published." Such a statement . repeated so fre quently as tthas been in public a Ivertisements, might, if allowed to pass uncentradic ted, obtain some amount of credence.

T HE CITY of GLASGOW LIFE'.4.SSURANCE COMPANY. Established, 1833. London Oflle t e-12, King William-street. It will be remembered that, on the capture of Prome, the Burmese General retired to a stockaded position, about seven miles distant, called Yea-they-Mow, and that General Godwin resolved not to follow him there until reinforced by the second division. The force at Yea-they-Mow was in all private accounts rated at from 4,000 to 6,000 ; in General Godwin's dispatches at 18,000, and subsequent information has proved the for mer estimate to be more correct. On intelligence of the capture of Prome reaching Ava, the King sent down orders to dress up General Bundoola in old woman's clothes, and forward him to Ava for decapitation. Bun doola thereon escaped to our lines to save his head, accompanied only by a son of the unsuccessful ex-gover nor of Prome. He is now a prisoner on board the Se- • sostris, and has freely communicated all the intelligence in his power. He states that the force of Yea-they-Mow amounts only to from 5,000 to 6,000, and that even this small force contains a large number of villagers: and -1 tradesmen, whom nothing but the dread of immediate execution could retain for an hour within the retrench- ~ scents:--.- Both 'parties, moreover, whether soldiers or • rustles-, are - said to be iri the greatest state of trepidation. From the day on which the troops landed they have re mained in perpetual expectation of an attack, and are only waiting, with their ponies saddled, for the first shot to give them a decent excuse to fly. If they ran before an engagement of some kind, they would be accused of disaffection, and probably massacred to a man, for the insane despotism of Ava has reached a point at which wild acts of cruelty are believed to be indications of strength. "It appears, in short, then," says the Friend of India, " from every account which has reached us, that mat ters have gone much further than we expected, and that the ' giant strength of Ava' is even more hollow than we had believed. From one end of the country to the other• there is actually no strength to resist our progress. Army there is none—out of Ava, at least—and, of the bands of armed men who are so denominated in letters and dispatches, one-half are undisciplined, and the other half do not care which side is victorious, and think only of preserving their own lives from the vengeance of their own King. It was said of the French Convention that their generals conquered—they marched to battle with the guillotine behind them ; but the Burmese Generals, under precisely the same circumstances, find it more ex pedient to trust to the forbearance of a generous enemy. It will readily be understood that an army, in which half officers consider t:btaael than compelledi w e t enemy's is ryte the s einp c f a ort n eon i sl i el J en tt a l the soldiers are villagers taken from the plough, and the cannot be formidable in the field. Our march to Ava will in all probability be almost unopposed, and we shall have only the natural difficulties of the country to con tend with lt has been, we believe, sug gested that an attack upon Ava, would result in the flight igw o .o f roie l t l itl i lti e deara K ipel i xle n ert g :el . ialbtp a lsl m that, as he cannot be hunted in the eastern jungles, the Government would have no respon sible authority left with whom to conclude a treaty, and plate.

Extensive barracks are being built at Prome, and everything looks like permanent , occupation ; but the long expected proclamation for annexation has not yet appeared. "The only news from Rangoon," -says the Friend of India, " refers to the constant dispatch of troops to Prome in the smaller steamers, and the exces • sive anxiety for annexation. This feeling is not confined to the natives, with whom it is a question of life and death, but extends to the officers, and from brigadiers to ensigns, the first question asked on the arrival of a steamer is, Is the decree out V generally followed by some unpleasant wish about the home authorities, as the authors of the delay." _ _ Illustration of rates charged.-101. a-year secures the following amounts, payable at death : Age 20.

What is to be done with Burmah has now become a very serious question. The young King of Siam has dispatched a large army, drilled and organised by two experienced British officers (who being defaulters had deserted from the Bengal army), to watch the course of events on the frontier, and immediately north of this most powerful of the tributory Shan's States has assem bled a force said to amount to 50,000 men and 250 ele phants for the same purpose. It is reported that the Shan States have thrown off their allegiance to Ava, and assembled their force for the purpose of co-operating with the Siamese army, but the assemblage of the large bodies on the frontier occasions more anxiety. It is considered certain that the Shans and Siamese will at least take all we leave, and that it would be more conducive to the ultimate security of our frontier that they should take such territory as a gift from us than as a conquest of the wars from the Burmese. I again quote from the Friend of India -- "At any rate the Indian Government must accept one certain fact. As in every other instance, since- we became a military power, so in the present, the second collision between us and the Oriental Monarchies shakes them to pieces. No orders from England, no caution, and no forbearance on our part can reconstruct the edi fice of the Burmese Monarchy. It is the nursery legend of Humpty-Dumpty turned into a political reality."

CIIRISTAIAS PREPARATIONS. ON all hands arrangements are making to celebrate the anniversary of Christmas. To create novelty for a festivity s.) ancient requires some degree of ingenuity, and to introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than ordinary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What, then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists whose introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity? It is those only whose success has long been the admiration of all c'asses, and wjtose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, who can provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces variety, surpassing all attempts at imitation, and exhibits novelties which only the first Tailoring* Establishments in the universe can device. To maintain this distinction, E. MOSES and SON'S Christ mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated styles. DRESS for Christmas parties, the most splendid materials and the neatest 'workmanship. OVERCOATS and WATERPROOF CLOTELIN:I in the most gentleman!) , and comfortable styles.

This Company proposes to take possession (under a conveyance In fee) of cne thousand acre§ of land upon the freehold estate of Alfred Clapp, Esq., in the county of Mariposa, California, and to work, on the cost book system, the geld mines thereon. Situated in the rich est part of that famous region, the Burns' Creek range of geld d..po site stands unrivalled In the land of unlimited - TM - ea: — Through the' centre of this estate, consisting of upwards of 2,0:i0 acres, from south east to north-west, a ridge of hills, the great basis of which is the gold-bearing quartz rock, discloses to the observer at intervals, veins of rich ore cropping out at the hill sides in manliest splendour. From the bed and banks of the clear stream called Burns' Creek, which (in summer unfailing and In winter unfrozen), flows through the estate at the base of these hills, it is known by miners of that locality that nearly a million and a half sterling of flue gold has been ta , ten in the last two years, and the placer gold diggings of that stream are as certained to be but the washings of ages from the masses of gold-bear ing quartz above. To blast these rocks, to sink shafts, pursue the hold certained to be but the washings of ages from the masses of gold-bear zontal veins, crush the rich ore by powerful steam engines, and ex tract and remit the gold is the great object of this Company. For such purposes the most improved machinery. must be purchased, transmitted, and fixed; skilful miners, quarrymen, and engineers engaged; stores furnished lor their support, and dwellings erected for their habitation. To command these things and success, large capi tal and skilful direction is required, and in theformattion of this Com pany, those leading objec s have will be attained. Situated in latitude north about 57%, with the climate of Italy, and with the woods and natural pastures ab unding in cattle, deer, and other large game, S miles from the gold mines and quartz-crushing works of the Noveau Monde Company, and between the Mercede and Mariposa Rivers, steam-power has placed this splendid mining property within 6 weeks' journey of London, and (excepting only about 25 miles not yet railed, on the Isthmus of Panama), railways and first-class mail steamers convey the traveller and treasure with the safety, punctuality, and speed of the iron train, between London, San Francisco, and Stock ton, on the San Joaquin river, whence a good road runs through this estate, 70 miles from Stockton, to the county town of Mariposa, 23 - miles distant. From tke Burns' Creek, one piece of pure gold waa, taken, weighing 17 pounds, and was sold fur 750 /. This fact II vow hed by an eminent geologist, D Charles F. Spieker, of New' York, who, in his report of a, survey, made in ,1850, on the spot, wines thus : "The most important feature in the geology of this district, how ever, which gives it such great value for mining purposes, 13 the ex istence here in the dtorit formation of such an astonishing number of veins of quartz, tor nowhere in the auriferous districts of California have I seen such quantities of quartz veins accumulated within au area of such comparatively small extent. Nearly every one of the hills and ridges above described contains the outcropping of a quartz Hein sometimes of very large dimensions." And again, On my examining them in reference to the proportion of gold they contained in comparison with other veins which I 'had seen in California, I found them to be of the best and richest kind wl.ich hat come under my ob , ervatien there. One of these veins was distinguished by great quantities of cellular quartz, which inclosed a very large aniOM - it of native gold in small particles, presenting altogether some of the most beautdul and richest specimens of that kind of auriferous quartz found in daliforwa." --. (See Report.) Average specimens of the gold quartz brought by the proprietor . . from the veins ti ansferred to this Company, have teen submitted to smelting and assay at the Bank of England, and the grew- result is shown in the following • BULLION OFFICE CERTIFICATES. I hereby certify that four lbs. troy of quartz rock, from the estate of Alfred Clapp, Esq., in Mariposa, California, placed in my hands by Mr. Alfred Clapp and Mr. Henry W.

See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. Q. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates here selected are those adopted lay the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd:ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 101. 'is. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years ofage. In the latter Si. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less su m , pa id annua lly, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase es decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pl easure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savinss by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in ca se o f nece ssity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices t e can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned sayings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be. overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a b tik because it allows a fair rate of Interest in ea:.r of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the to the representatives of the Depositor in hands of the Compa n Y case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER TDB ORDINARY " W. D.

"London, Sept. 13, 1852." £4 12 3 By these certificates it is seen that frotn 48 ounces of the quartz rock, when melted, crushed, and washed, one ounce and nine-penny weights of gold, value 51. Is. 3d. sterling, was obtained, and this under the immediate sanction of Mr. Haggard, and peronal inspection of Mr. rialey and Mr. Wood, at the smelting works In Wood-street, employed by the Bank of England. At this rate of yield, one ton of the quartz rock would produce gold value 3,4001. and upwards; but assuming that, instead of this result (viz , 1/. bs. 31ad. per lb.) an average of only Is. per pound troy was produced, as thirty tons per day can be readily separated, crushed, and washed at these mines, and the yield of gold would be, at that rate, 1361. per ton, which, multiplied by thirty, gives 4,0801 as the result of each day's work ing, being 24,4801. per week of six days, above 100,000/. per calendar month would be the gross produce. Estimating, therefore, the average yield of gold from these hills, rocks, and places as only Gd. to the p ;mad weight of quartz, an in come of six hundred thousand pounds per annum will he afforded— enough, after allowing amply for all expenses, to repay the capital five times in one year's actual working. A late authentic paper (republished in the " Times" of Sept. 14) from Hussey and Co.'s Circular, of San Francisco, July 30, 1852, shows the gross produce of Californian gold, from the official reports, to be in the first six months, 1852, to the Ist July, 33,849,774 dollars, or about seven million. sterling,' and this when the development of the rock gold is but commencing. It is not the desire of the Directors upon srch data to excite exalted hopes of delusive profits, but they feel the highest confidence that this undertaking, vigorously and honestly conducted, must quickly produce enormous returns to the shareholders in the Albion Gold Mines. The Directors have entered into a contract with the proprietors of the Burns' Ranche Estate, which entitles the Company to enter immediately upon possession of one thousand acres, free of royalty or reservation, on which four opening have already been made in the gold-bearing veins, and splendid 'specimens extracted. The terms of this purchase are most liberal en the part of the pro prietor, who, excepting a very small proportion, takes t o whole consideration of a third interest (chiefly in shares), to be delivered at periods subsequent to possession and working by the Company. No director or subscriber to this Company will be liable beyond the amount of his shares subscribed for. The title to this property is undisputed, and possession held conti nually by the resident agents of the proprieto r occupying the estate from February, 1851, to the present time. (See Report.) Specimens of the quartz rock may be seen at the chutes of the Com pany, as taken front the vein by the proprietor, which Is in exhaustible; and it is a remarkable characteristic of the vast wealth 05 this estate, that the gold-tlearin.r veins, though but three feet wide near the surface, run through the whole property, anti in depth are richer In descending and without any known termination.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in' Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any • other class of disease known to modern pathologists.

THE BURMESE WAR. (From the Times.) BOMBAY, Nov. 17. The termination of the Burmese war still seems as far off as ever. "Since our last dispatch," says the Cal cutta Englishman, "we have no further acquisitions in Burmah to report, but our correspondence will show the state and expectation of the army there, and the general disappointment felt at the needless inactivity which has characterised the whole campaign." It has, however, now become evident that the Indian Government have no intention of terminating the campaign at Prome. 250 elephants have been dispatched from Calcutta over land to Promo through the Aenr , ' pass under the charge of Captain Baugh. They have been furnished by the Calcutta Arsenal with cradles for carrying the guns and apparatus of the batteries over ground where it may be inconvenient to drag them. The Aeng pass is at pre sent held by a small Burmese force, but troops have been dispatched from Arracan to clear them away. The arrangements are certainly indicative of an advance if not to Ava, at least beyond where river navigation is available. The season during which the Irrawaddy is navigable by large steamerois now over. On the 10th of October the river at Promo began to fall so suddenly and to such an extent that it is currently reported that the larger steamers now there will be imprisoned for eight months, or until the next rainy season. We have, however, about five steamers in the Burmese water of less draught than the old Diana, and, consequently, able to navigate the Irrawaddy at all seasons of the year ; an equal number of the same description . might possibly lad obtained from the Gauges ; those at present available, with a few flats in tow, could take up a force that would possibly suffice for a dart at Ava .; but .such an expedition would be diametrically opposed to the Fabian tactics of General Godwin. The elephants < c r eeting --- frem - cyttentra can - scarce y reac i tome for two months to come. General Godwin is again on his way up the-river to Prome, with the second division of his force. Reinforcements . for Burmah are being daily dispatched from Calcutta and Madras. A regiment of irregular cavalry was among the last departures from the former presidency. It was not at first intended to send any cavalry ; one of the newly raised Sikh irregu lai- regiments that volunteered for Burmah now awaits embarcation. It is commanded by Major Armstrong, and has excited much interest and admiration at Cal cutta. The Englishman says, ." We have seen the regiment both on and off parade, and a finer body of men can hardly be wished for ; they are tall, strapping fellows, with the. limbs of Europeans. The Governer- General, who evinces a warm interest in all that con cerns the army of Burmah, has visited the Sikhs in their quarters, and has gained their hearts by offering them his good wishes, and expressing his sense of their con duct and bearing." They are as accustomed to the use of spirituous liquors as the Europeans themselves, and have accordingly preferred a request to Government to have grog served out to them while on foreign service, in proportions equal to thou granted to Europeans, on the grounds that the sale of spirituous liquor being for bidden in camp, they will be no longer able to supply themselves in the Bazaat Their request has been granted. They are said to be very wbll inclined to fra ternise with the European soldiery, but to look down on the Hindoo Sepoy as an altogether inferior animal. The detention of so many of our steamers in the Burmese waters occasions very great inconvenience to the Boin b4 Government, and to the community generally, as regards the arrangements for the c onveyance of the Overland Mails to Suez. Commodore Lambert say he cannot spare a single steamer, and, if this is really the case, some temporary arrangements must be made for the transmission of the Bombay mail by hired steamers. The Bombay steam flotilla is now principally used for the conveyance of troops and stores between Rangoon and Calcutta and Madras. General Godwin 's voluminous dispatches regarding the capture of Prome have met with well-deserved ridicule throughout India. The fighting appears to have been much exaggerated. An officer engaged at Prome writes to the Chronicle immediately after its capture as fol lows : " Here we are all safe at Prome, and, thank good ness, we have had no more alarms lately at night, as we had for the first few nights after we took the place ;. and a nice take it was. I wonder what kind of dispatch the General wiil make out of this affair, as, except the fast day we came here, and were in the steamers, and just after the 80th landed, there was not a shot fired. We kept walking on—walking on the next morning, every now and then asking where are the Burmese, and ex pecting them to open fire on us every moment ; but no, Ni - e quietly walked up into their principal pagoda, and then the halt was sounded, as the General determined RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

HOAX.— On Sunday evening, a man named dgahveeeniniblPalylalatiir o t n o the George Mowe, of B th r a in t sw he rt l i i i a ' th-road, and robbed of his watch and two sove reigns, by means of the garotting system. He gave a certain description of the two men by whom he said he B E ri t n h s e w r r 3l h a d been robbed. The police were on the track forth with, and after a long and unsuccessful search, Seijeant Handley was returning to Rotherham with Mowe, and having some suspicion, from his informant's demeanour, he politely requested Mowe to allow him (Handley) to search him, which he did, when he found the watch in its proper place, and the money in his pocket. Mowe was •brought before the Earl of Effingham on Monday, when the circumstances of the case were laid before his lordship, who ordered Mowe to pay 135., being the expenses incurred in searching after the visionary robber —a decision which has given great satisfaction to the township, which would otherwise have had to pay the costs so incurred. MONUMENT IN GLASGOW TO •SIR ROBERT PEEL.—OR Wednesday afternoon a public meeting was held in the Trades'-hall, to take measures for erecting a statue in Glasgow to the late Sir R. Peel.

The Earl of Glasgow moved a resolution, to the effect that the emi nent public services of Sir R. Peel, now universally ac knowledged, ought to be recorded by a suitable memorial, to be erected in the city of Glasgow. The motion w as seconded in an able speech by Mr. Hannan ' the Lord Dean of Guild, and unanimously agreed to. A commit tee was appointed to carry out the resolution.
