Departure of the Prince and Princess o f

Wales for Scotl9.nd.

Yesterday evening their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales,
accompanied by
their infant son, Prince Albert Victor, left Lyndonon their way to Abergeldie, where, as it is under-
stood, they will remain for about six weeks.
Their royal highnesses, who were attended by
Hon. Mrs. Coke, Lieutenant-General Snollye, and
Major Teesdale, travelled by the 8.40 limited
express mail," on the Landon and North-Western
Railway. Tw c royal saloon carriages, a first•eissg,'
and a luggage van were attached to the train, and
behind were three large Post-office carriages "d
some heavy vans.
A considerable number of persons collected oat-
side the station and within the entrance Yard'
while the platform itself was by no means flute"
nanted. On the arrival of the prince and princess
at a few minutes after the appointed time they
were received by Mr Moon, chairman of the c°°3"
pang, and some of the principal officers, by Wb°ll/
they were conducted to the saloon in which they
were to travel. The handsome carriage is divided
into two compartments, in the first of which rode
the prince and princess, and in the second the,
young prince and two nurses. A door allows er
communication between the two divisions. The
spectators outside and inside the station cheered
the prince and princess most heartily en their
arrival, and redoubled their acclamations when
Prince Albert Victor was seen in his nurse's arras:
The hurrahing was, indeed, so loud that the r°Y,
infant's slumbers were evidently disturbed. 11118
Prince of Wales conversed for a few moments witl
Mr. Moon while the preparations were being corm
pleted ; but in a very brief space after the royal
travellers had entered their carriage the signal 'B4s
given, and the train sped on its way.
The prince and princess intended to Proceed
direct to Stirling on their way to the Trossaebisl
after visiting which their royal highnesses
continue their journey to Abergeldie.
will

visit Gordon Castle and other places during their
stay in the North.

The expected alteration in the rate of discount

court of the Bank of England directors was awaited
to day with considerable interest, but while an in-
crease to 9 per cent. was considered very probable,
the notification that the mirimum would for the
Present remain at 8 per cent. failed to produce any
?articular surprise. It nevertheless exercised a
beneficial influence in promoting a better feeling in
Monetary and commercial circles.

Mr o John Hunt, general niabilgr to the Messrs.
Defries, said the prisoner was a town collector of
accounts, and had baenin the employ of the firm for Wien
or eight years. It was his duty to enter all accounts he
received during the day in a hook the morning after he had
received them, and then passed over the money to Mr
John Lovy, the principal cashier to the Messrs. fiefdom.
He charged the prisoner with embezzling £lO Os 4d, which
he had received from Mr Snow, who was a customer of the
firm. This morning an officer was called in at the estab-
lishment at Hounsditch, and Mr Defries told him for the
length of time he had been in their employment.he expected
trustworthiness. Ile was asked about his accounts, and
eventually ho admitted embezzling various sums of money.
He was not prepared to say the amount of the prisoner's
del.iencies, but he knew it was over £lOO. The prisoner
when spoken to about the particular account of Mr Snow,
sail he had received the money and appropriated
it to his own use. He bad not the necessary
receipts with him on that occasion, but he should be in a
position, in the course of a few days, to clearly establish
the charge against the prisoner.
Detective officer Smart said he was called in to Messrs.
Defries' warehouse in Houndsditch, and was told to take
the prisoner into custody for embezzling several sums of
money. As he was conveying him to the station he
said " It is a bad job, but it is all through a
brother of mine. I had the money this morning
to settle the matter." On searching him at the station
house, seven 410 Bank of England notes and £3 10s. in coin
was found en his person.

The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner for a week.
John Nicholls, another servant in the same firm, was
then placed at the bar, charged with a similar offence.
Mr. Coleman Dairies, senior partner in the firm, said
they carried on a very extensive business at 147, Hounds-
ditch, and in consequence they had to employ a large
number of servants. The prisoner was a traveller
for the firm in which capacity he would recei♦ e moneys
which it was his duty to pay over to Mr Hunt, the general
manager, or to Mr Levy, the chief cashier, the day after he
received it. In consequence of certain information he, this
morning, spoke to the prisoner and charged him with em-
bezzlement. 116 asked him to tell him the persons from
whom he had received money, when he gave the names
of three persons, viz., Mr Walker, of Dalston, from whom
he had received £0 6s. 2d.; Mr Roberts, of Kingsland,
£lO, and Mr Wheeler of Hackney £2, for none of which he
had accounted. Those were the only sums at present
known, but he had no doubt the defalcations were larger.
Mr. Hunt, the manager, said he knew nothing about the
money the prisoner was charged with embezzling. He had
not received the accounts of either of the customers men-
tioned by Mr Coleman Defries.
Alderman Lawrence asked if in this case the necessary
documents were in court to complete the case ?
Mr Defries said they were not; he should therefore have
to ask for a remand, The two caees were quite distinct.
The matter that had led to their discovery was the sending
in the quarterly accounts.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
