The Time.' observes :—" The fact that Mr. Peter
Morrison, the managing director of the Deposit Rank, has
been allowed to elude the inquiries made after him, by
excited more indignation than surprise. When the break-
up of this concern was first announced, it was suggested
that the most vigilant watch should be kept on Mr.
Morrison's movements, and an assurance was given
that such would be the use. He was then in Loudon,
and had the boldness to write to the various jour-
nals expressing favourable anticipations of the pro-
spects of the creditors. His escape, therefore,
must, to say the least, have been the result of culpable ne-
gligence—a negligence which appears peculiar to cases of
this description, where the offender has fora long series of
years had uncontrolled command of the funds of other
people."

WEDNEBD tY NIGHT. —TUduring
G morsmg, • heavy gels
of wind from the N.E. and a high surf, the edemest
Epirnachus, of Amsterdam, was rue ashore in a slaking
detest Screnterston, about three miles to the south of Ber-
wick harbour. The lifeboat of the National Life-
boat Institution was immediately launched and sus-
seeded in rescuiug the whole of the shipwrecked
crew, Are in number, and after much difficulty,
owieg to the tempestuous state of the weather, sucoeeded
in leading them at Screinersion. This valuable lifeboat has

Ate AMATICK Catettass.—A little boy named
Pricker wee recently takes before B. Moulton, W. M.
Bridger, and J. 11. Webb, /Spa., at Bradford-on-Arco,
charged with stealing a fowl, value Is. 6d., the property of
Mr. Stephen Misen, carpenter. It came out in evidence
that the promoutor, finding who had stolen the bird, sent
for the boy, who, thinking he was going to be pardooed
went to the proftecu ore workshop. A witness, named
Stokes, weal there shortly afterwards, and saw the boy
with his arms pinioned in true Nswgate style, his lop
tied together, sad a rope round his neck, &stead to
a beano overhead. The pmeeentor, in reply to the beach,
add be had "only fasteoed the boy up to prevail his run.
Wag away till the 'police came." The father of the lad
stated that his soli had been frightened so much that he
W sot been 'himself slice. The beach oonsiderel the
primer had eaffered puoiehrneot enough by the indiecre-
tioa of Mina, awl having discharged the lad, censured the
prowienter for taking the law into his own hands. —Bath

Tae LATE POACHING AFFRAY AT PENICUIK.—
Ire (Idiosterot Courant) regret to state that Alexander
the assistant gamekeeper on the estate of Peuicuik,
who was seriously hurt in an affray, as it is supposed, with
l'=Cu Nooday, the 2nd instant, died in the Royal
yesterday morning, about half-past four o'clock,
from the effect of his injuries. Since his removal to the
inert:oars, and for several boors previously, Boswell
remained in • slide of insensibility, broken by
occasional momenta of consciousness. He was unable to
utter more than • few incoherent expressions, sod his
power of recalling the circurnstasoes attending the assault,
or of mentioning those engaged in it, seemed almost com-
pletely gooe, so that the authorities could Dot obtain • de-
claration from him with the view at identifying the guilty
is partite. It believed that the wound on his hem pro-
ceeded from a gumbot, as part of the skull was entirely
blown away, leerier • portion of the brain protrudig.
AN ITALIAN CAPTAIN IN TROMBLL. —Thu Italian
war steamer Yousabiusis, Captain the Chevalier Di.i,
arrived here lest week from blessiea, to await onion from
Turin. In one of our former members we alluded to • jour-
nal published in this island by • party of Bourbon refugees
of the lowest chums, who abuse the protection afforded
them Le printing scurrilous articles against King
Victor Emmanuel 's government. This is a direct
infringement of a local police repletion which forbids
foreigners interfering is any way with the local press, and
subjects them to summary expubioe from the isle d. An
article more than usually scurrilous awl insulting appeared
io that paper on the arrival of the Monsimbano, I. which
the commander of this vessel and his royal master were
mode the butt of the writer's ridicule and insult. The
captain, accompanied by one of his officers, waited
upon the responsible editor to demand explanation
of this unwairantihle attack, but iostead of obtaining
any satisfactioa be was met by offensive language to
himself and his Sovereign. Thus provoked he
took the law into his owe hands, and laid his stick rather
energetically, it must be admitted, about the editor's haul
and shoulders. Although the act camsot be justified, it
maybe palliated. and some allowance made for areas acting
is the beat of 'simian wader great provocation. The ease
is still seder erAmiustion, sad u likely to detain the gal-
lant captain and his ship in this port longer than he had
any idea of. hail tendered by the Italian 000sul having been
rotund. —Malta Tina. Deo. 10.
