Owissa's Fermi? —The princ;pal topic of public corn- ,

schooner Herione,formerly belonging to Mr. r. Wanhill,
of thin town, had abecondeil f on Bristol, taking with
him the freight of the vessel's last voyage. said to be
bout £lOO. This was hone ;et' the total amount that

the artrntilla before be had taken the decisive step.
Mr. Wanhill discovered that the amount actually taken
was about 1130 Nothing was heard of the cap'ain
for several days, alth •ugh our active superintendent
of police wan indefatigable in his exertions to trace him
Hig photograph was . rocured, and sent to the po ice
authorities of Liverpo I and Manchester; but some
difficulty ilight have been experienced in unearthing
him from his hiding-place had he not himself furni bed
the clue by his own bungling. Before lea ing Bristol
he deposited a letter ii the care of the agent of the
vessel to be posted to hi. wife The agent neglected
doing this so kiromptly as Andrews calculated on, and
in the meantime the Hite and Cry was out, and the
unposted letter foroished the secret where he had
, betaken himself, for in it he told his wife he should go
to Farnworth, but that she was to say nothing about

James and Waite, agents of prosecutor's, in Bristol.
Soon after he received the oheque he went back to the
stabler and said he bad bet the cheque, and asked for
another one. This was retailed, aa there alibi
have been uncertainty as to tks validity of
, prisoner's statement. Prisoner went away, but
afterwards retuned, and said he had food the
cheque. The amount had not, however, been
! paid to the owners of the ship. Mr. WiLiams said th.t
the case was at present impel feet, and that it would be
better to sive •r Mr. Blood that day, and defer forth, r
