NEW LIGHTHOUSES AT ARRAN.

Last September we published an official notice of the intended
illumination of the Arran Islands' new lighthouses, and now we
announce that these lights were exhibited on the evening of he Ist
December instant, pursuant to the published notification. The old
lighthouse on the Large Inland is cn such elevated ground that it was
liable to be occasionally capped and obscured by fogs. The new
Fghthonses are not only tree from this objection of great height over
the level of the sea, but marking, as they do, the extreme ends of the
chain of islands and adjacent rocks. light more hilly the chief sounds,
or channels of entrance into the Galway bay. These new lighthouse
have been built from the designs, and xnder the direction of Mr.
Halpin, the engineer of the I ish lighthouse Board ; and from the
durable and careful manner in which they have been erected, are
creditable to the contractors and to the resident foreman or clerks of
works. The light apparatus comprises the most recent improvements,
and the lights, from their judicious position, will render more safe
and easy the navigation of the approach and entrance to the bay and
harbour, Which possess so many natural advantages.—Galway

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER AT
LEEDS.—At the Leeds Court-house, on Monday, William
Leach, a commercial traveller, in the employ of Messrs.
Middlebrook and Co., cap manufacturers, Commercial..
street, was charged with embezzling certain moneys, the
property of his employers. From some suspicious circum-
stances, Messrs. Middlebrook made inquiries, and it was
discovered that Mr. J. Willeseroft, of Dudley, had paid
the prisoner £lO ; John Chambers, of Bos on, Lincoln-
shire, £4 63. 6d. ; and F. Mastyn, of Worcester, £l2, for
goods delivered, and for which the prisoner had never
accounted to his employers. This was the extent of the
prisoner's defalcations, so far as inquiry had been made,
but Mr. Middlebrook stated that he had reaeon to b3lieve
there would yet be other cases to bring forward. The
prisoner said, in defence, that he was short of the amount
now named, but there had been a running account between
him and the Messrs. Middlebrook, and he had frequently
remitted moneys without specifying the sources from
which he had obtained them. The prisoner was remanded
to Friday.

populous, as h, the case of Lancashire, each division of tie county
will occupy a nage; again, the States of Italy will bs the sub-
ject of six distinct maps. The names Gf the draugitsmen and
engravers will be the best guarantee for perfect aeciracy. The
maps will be as full as clearness andreference will allow. Correctiors
and discoveries will be given from the best antiorities. The
engravings will be in the highest style of art, mazy thousands of
pounds being devoted to their cost, and they will be taken from
original drawings expressly prepared for the eerie. Directors of

ments, the proprietors of hotels, reading rooms,and coffee houses,
