talion, depot, Parkhurst, to Gertrude Elizabeth, only
daughter of Lady Vane and the late Sir Francis Vane,
Bart., of Hutton Hall and ArmathWaite, Cumberland.

Brussels lace, and was given away by her brother, Sir
Henry R. Vane, Bart.
Ina TRIAL OP Bao)N.—The witnesses resident in Stam-
ford-who are to give evidenct> on the trial of Thomas
Fuller Bicon and his wife for the murder of their children
received their subpcdeas on Tuesday. They are summoned
to the sessions of the Central Criminal Court commencing
on the 11 h inst., but it is intimated their attandance will
not be required till Wednesday, the 13th, and it is probable
the trial will not take place till the following day. Mr.
B .dkin will be leading counsel for the prosecution, in-
structed by the solicitors to the Treasury ; and Mr. Met
-
cafe and Mr. Poland will be counsel f B :c-n, instructed
by, Mr. Atter. of Stamford. It is thought that legal aid
will he assigned to Mrs. Bacon by the sheriffs.—Stamford
Mercury. .
On Monday last upwards of 300 holiday makers from'
Leicester and adjoining places, visited ,Burghley House,
Stamford, and were invited to view the noble collection of
paintings and antiquities which are found there. The
Marchioness of Exeter has since eipressed her sense of
the excellent behaviour of the visitors, remarking that all
was transacted so quietly that unless it had been known
that a large party was beifig conducted through the house
the inmates would not have perceived it. Lady Burghley,
Lily Mary :Cecil, and Lady Vicr.oria mingled with a
group in one of the rooms, but were not reCognised. At
the Close of the day the attendants stated that scarcely a
trace of dirt or dust could be seen upon the floors, "and
not a single act of indiscretion had occurred. .
NoveL FISHER.—On Tuesday last, Mr. Neilson,
fisherman, Auchencairn, on visiting his salmon nets, was
surprised to find an animal, to him unknown, busily
etorgad in devouring fish. On the east coast seals are
gre It pests to the fishermen, but on the shores of the Sol-
w iv they are uoknoxvn ; pellochs are Comm ,n' enough,
and very destructive to salmon, but, as far as sive know,
they never come within the da,!gerous precinws of stake-
tiers. Af er a severe struggle, Mr. Neilson, aided by hi?,
dog, sticcsedad in destroying the interloper, and sent its
carcass off to our ingenious townsman, Mr. Hastings, to
be steffed. Mr. Hastings at once recognised the animal
as a racoon, and undoubtedly it is a very fine specimen of
the common racoon (Ursus Lotor of Lim:seas), a native of
North America.—Dumfries Courier.
The Thera thinks it obvious that even Mr. Linklater,
with all his ingenuity, and all his pertinacity, has not
succeeded in nlnithing the depths of the black pool of the
Royal British B Ink. " Why, for example, were all
these advances made to Brown? Who benefitted by
the transaction besides himself ? It is merely childish to
suppose that Brown, a perfect stranger, knocked at the
door of the British
.Bank, gave his note of ham' for £5OO,
became a director, and then obtained what advances he
chose simply as a question of general philanthropy and
good feeling. There is far more bahind, of which we have
not yet any idea, and which never will be got at, we fear,
by any process now known to the law. There has, we
cannot help believing, been a division of the spoil, of
which we have heard uothing."

BURGLARY IN FLEET STREW Friday morning a
robbery was committed on the extensive premises of Messrs.
Wills and Wilson, naval and military tailors, 129, Fleet
street. It appears that on the conclusion of the day's busi-
ness,the shop, which is separated from the other part of the
house, was strongly secured and the keys taken away.
When the shopman this morning proceeded. to take down
the shutters, to his astonishment he found the place
in., the utmost disorder. Feeling greatly alarmed,
he ran to the pollee station, which is but three doors off,
and called Inspector Trafford and Detective Green to
investigate the mysterious affair. Directly Green entered
the shop, his attention was directed to the side door,
facing the Morning Advertiser office, ia Shoe-lane, when
lie found the. entrance had been effected there. The
rAbery, showing gross neglect on the part of the police,
has caused no little consternation amongst the tradesmen
in the locality.
THE LATE MR. ZIMMERMAN, THE MIL LIONARE.
Mr. Zmmerrnan, less than twenty years ago, worked at
his trade, which, we believe, was that of a blacksmith,
in the central part of this state. He, however, pulled up
stakes one fine morning, turned his face towards the
setting sun, and his family in Pennsylvania lost sight of
him entirely. In the meantime a younger brother, by
frugally taking care of his earnings, was ensbled to start
a coach line between Spruce Creek and Williamstiurg,
consisting of a four-wheel d vehicle and two horses,
which ht drove himself. Several tears ago a gentleman
stopped at Spruce Creek and desired to be driven to
Williamsburg, hut there being no other passenger, the
proprietor of the aforesaid "line" at first ohjec. e. He
nevertheless consented, and when the stranger got out he
handed him, instead of the usual fare-3 dollars—a 300
dollar bill. 'I his began to open Bill's eyes to the im-
portance of his passenger, and he soon discovered that he
was no other than his brother Sam, so disguised in good
clothes that a thirty miles' ride had not undeceived
him. Subsequently the now wealthy banker bought his
poorer brother a farm in Illinois worth 5,000 dollars, on
whie he now resides.—Pittintrg Post.
F,MBSZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.—The
Dublin magistrates have been engaged in an investigation
respecting a charge of embezzlement against Mr. Archi•
bald Hawth me Kellie, of that city, of sums of money,
amounting altogether 'to between £BOO and £l,OOO, the
property of Messrs. W. Henry and Co., brewers, of Newry,
whose agent in Dublin the accused had been. It appeared
from the evidence that the pri over was in the habit of
returning to his employers a number of their customers in
Dublin as being largely in arrear, whereas upon inquiry it
proved that they had all settled their accounts, and held
his receipts for the amount. The books of the firm were
produced, and testimony to this effect was given by a
person named Smith, conducting agent of Mr. Weir, of
Burgh-pay,who had been thus debited with .E 22 9s; by Mr.
Conolly, proprietor of the canteen at Island-bridge bar-
reeks, who was charged with £77 12s Od ; by Mr. bloman,
of Burgh-quay by Mr. Thomas Ryan, of Nicholas-street,
and other publcans, to whom ale had been supplied on
account of the firm. Upon the 18th of February, Mr.
Courtney, one of the partners, came up to Dublin, and
made inquiries, which led to his swearing an information,
and obtaining a warrant for the arrest of the prisoner ; the
latter, however, succeeded in making his escape on board
of a collier from the quay, and was lost sight of until
Saturday last, between three and four o'clock, when he was
recognised in Liverpool, in a shipping office, in Waterloo-
road, making enquiries with the evident intention of
taking his passage to Australia. He was committed
for trial at the Sessions.
