A CLEVER Roauv.—ln the course of Tuesday and the
day previous; a person wearing the garb of a gentleman,
succeeded in passing off no fewer than 16 counterfei•
sovereigns in different shops in Glasgow. The plan which
he adopts in most cases is to ask for a certain article and
throw down a genuine sovereign in payment. Just, how
ever, as the shopman is about to give him change, he
suddenly recollects that he has some silver, and rc-pocketing
the genuine sovereign, begins fumbling for the silver. Of
this however, with a disappointel look, he finds be has
not s flicient to pay for the article, and accordingly hands
the shoptnan a sovereign—a counterfeit one this time—
and having obtained his charge, walks off.

DEATH OF A CHARACTZILLA woman named Martha
Heath, aged 83, living at 16, Sandford-street, was, we
regret to hear, found drowned in the river Chelt, near
Barratt's mill, at an early lima yesterday morning.
Police-const,bles Lewis and Wilkins were shortly after-
wards on the spot, and life being Extinct, the oiy was
removed to the stables of the Swan Inn, High-street'
where an inquest was held in the evening, before J•
J. Lovegrove, Esq., coroner, and the jury, after hearing
evidence to show that deceased had thrown herself into
ihe water, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."
We understand that although deceased went by the name
of Heath, her real name was Martha Probert. She was
the wife of a man of that name, who was, in company of
Thurt, II and Hunt, engaged in the robbery and murder of
Mr. Weare, whose death some thirty years ago caused so
much xcitement throughout the country. Oa that
occasion Probert saved himself from the gallows by
turning king's evidence. His two companions in crime
were convicted and hung, and Probett himself was some
time afterwards convicted of horse-stealing, and the crime
at that time being a capital offence, he suffered the same
fate as his former accomplices. Mrs. Probert then took
upon herself the mane of Heath, and has since resided
with her relatives in cheltenham.—Cheletnham Lzanancr.
