FRAUDS ON THE BANK OF FRANCE.

YESTERDAY'S MARKETS,

LIVERPOOL CORN.--We had a fair attendance at
this morning's market, and the trade opened firmly, but
with only a very limited demand for wheat, any improve-
ment realised during the interval since Friday has been
lost, and we quote prices as on that day, or 2d per bushel
over the,rates of Tuesday last, with much more difficulty
in making progress in sales. Flour may be quoted 6d to
is per brl. higher on the week, but we have a languid sale
at this amendment, and holders are more disposed to
realise; the little Spanish on offer is held at 65s per sack.
Beans maintain the advance of Friday, but are in less
consumptive demand. Oats are unaltered in value ; for
oatmeal, upon a moderate inquiry, we raise our quotations
6d per load. Mixed American Indian corn brings 42s 3d
to 42s 6d per 4eolbs., and finds buyers to a_ tolerable
extent for shipment to east coast of Ireland. Arrivals

The cashier of the Bank of France, on making up his
accounts for the day, on the 30th ult., missed 172 notes
of 1000 francs each, which had been brought to him in
the course of the day, and which, after counting, he
had placed with other piles of notes on a shelf near
him. Search was made everywhere, but without result,
and information was immediately given to the police.
From the inquiries which they made, their suspicions
pointed to one of the clerks in the cashier's office, and
orders were given that he should be strictly watched.
New-Year's day being a holiday at the Bank, the man
left Paris in the evening of the 31st ult. to visit his
friends in a village in Picardy, and the chief of the
service de surete and some active agents followed him
there. Early the next morning they learnt that he had
gone into the wood on a pretext of shooting, and they
went towards the wood. They did not hear any
report o f fire-arms, and after a while the man re-
turned without any game. This naturally increased the
suspicions against him. In the evening of the Ist he
came back to Paris, the police still accompanying him,
and the following days they watched him so closely and
with such skill that they saw all he did, and almost
heard all he said. At last it was deemed advisable to
arrest him, but he'energetically denied his guilt, and on
his lodgings being searched nothing calculated to incul-
pate him could be discovered. The chef de surete
accordingly determined on going down to Picardy to
examine the wood in which the man had been; but,
though he inspected every tree, he could find no marks
on any one, and, though he caused the earth to be dug
up wherever it appeared to have been recently moved,
he discovered nothing. The day before yesterday he
determined to try the effect which the sudden revelation
that he had been constantly followed, from the very
moment of discovering the robbery, would produce on
the man; and he began by stating that on the 31st of
December he had followed him to the wood in question.
The man started, and when the chef de surete proceeded
to-relate to him all that he had done on the following
days, hour by hour, he seemed astounded. At last he
confessed that he was the thief, and he stated that he
had buried the notes beneath a particular tree in the
wood in question. In consequence the chef again visited
the wood, and found the notes at the place mentioned.
The clerk is to be brought to trial—ealignani's .Messenger.
