A POCKET PICKED OF £2OO IN A MANcgESTEII
BANK.—About noon on Tuesday a gentleman iv"
was sent from a Manchester warehouse presented a cheque
for £2BO at the Union Bank, York-street. He asked for
£2OO in notes, and £BO in gold. Four £5O Bank of Eng°
land notes, which severally bore the following number°,
were given to him-77,082, 75,930, 75,931, and 64,094'
He placed the notes in a bag in the outer pocket of his coati
and proceeded to count the gpld, but when he felt for the
cash-bag he found that it and its contents had been stolee•
The bank was crowded at the time, and •the theft is or
posed to have been committed by a well-dressed man Who
was near the counter, and who was observed to leave tllB
bank about the time the robbery was committed.
MODEST BENEFICENCE.—On the opening, at a
committee meeting of University College Hospital:
on the sth inst., of the contribution boxes at the doors of
the hospital, there were found'a sum of £7B-odd in bang
notes and all the various coins of the realm, from pounds O
farthings; among them were feur distinct gifts—one °'t
£.1.5, two of £5 each, and one of £2 10s. The cot:amidee
were also gratified by receiving notice from one of their
body, Professor Hare (exor and residuary devisee), of °
vary considerable bequest in reversion, the amount not yet
ascertained, of the personal estate of the late Edward Yateer
Esq., who for some time past had been a subscriber of i2O
annually; on the other hand, it appeared that in order to
equalise the ordinary receipt and expenditure for the Antal'
chit year, which would expire at the end of the month,
further contributions to the amount of £1,200 would be re-
quired.

THE YORKSHIRE POTATO CROP.—Now that the
corh harvest is out of the way farmers are attend'
ing to the potato crop. The statement from all the districts
agree in pronouncing the crop almost free from disease, but
owing to the dry weather during the period of growth the
root is small in size. Every description of potato is alike IA
this respect. Just now, owing to a pressure of stocks on the
market, as is always usual during the lifting of the croPo
pricee have slightly fallen, but so soon as this flush ispassed
the almost complete absence of turnip, carrot, and cabbage
crops will tend to restore previous rates. That potatoes
will be dear is thought certain ; indeed, the small reins°
now sell at better prices for pigs than could be obtained for
the best samples for table last spring,
ANATOMY IN THE EAST.—From the last general
report on public instruction in the Lower Provincea
of the Bengal Presidency, which has just reached England'
Dr Norman Chevers, the Principal of the Medical College,
states that the number of bodies dissected during the year
amounted to 1,112, an extraordinary tact when it is cool'
dered that only a few years ago a native gentleman lost caste
by touching a dead body. The total number of in and out
door patients who receive' relief at the hospital and in its
dispensaries during the year amounted to 30,700, exelusivo
of the very large number treated in the Eye Infirmary. In
the European general wards there occurred 184 deaths, or
8.69 to the treated ; in the native wards there were 664
deaths, being 28.33 to the treated, Dr Chevers concludes
his interesting report by stating that in March last his

_ -
Highness the Maharojah of Jyepore, a native prince of great
enlightenment, who is very earnest in advancing medical
education in his own state, after having visited the college,
was so pleased with it that he munificently presented the
sum of 1,000 rupees to bo devoted to any purpose the mane"
gers of the institution may determine.
MONUMENT TO A PIG.--" Up to the present time,'
says the Europe, of Frankfort, "no monument that
we are aware of had ever been erected to the memory of a
pig. The town of Luneburg, in Hanover, has wished to
fill up that blank, and at the Hotel de Ville in that town-
there is to be seen a kind of mausoleum to the memory of
member of the swinish race . In the interior of the summa'
morative structure is to be seen a glass case, inclosing a
ham still in good preservation. A slab of black Marble
attracts the eye of visitors, who find thereon the following
inscription in Latin engraved in letters of gold Passer
by, contemplate here the mortal remains of the pig which
acquired for itself imperishable glory by the discovery °f
the salt springs of Luneburg.' "
Mr King, of Avignon, says a French paper, lately
lost a portfolio containing 100,000 f. A poor man, a father_
of a large family, picked it up, and returned it to him. Air
Ring offered him, as reward, a life annuity of 300 f.
.or
3,000 f. diwn. The man chose the latter, and invested it la
a small estate, sufficient for his and his family's support.

The birth of a son and heir to the Earl and Cotiil'

grandsire to all his employee in the neighbourbee;
and their wives and children, within the Par.:
About 250 partook of the repast, consisting of ros-'
and boiled beef, hams, caks, tea and coffee'
Lord Edward Clinton attended, and was enthusias
•
tically cheered on proposing " 'foe Queen," encl,_°t,
responding to the toast of the family. His lorele&r.
won the hearts of all present by his affable man
ners and admirable speeches. The company sePad
r
rated at nine o'clock, having greatly enjoyed the
entertainment, and with earnest wishes for tha
restoration to health of their noble and much-beinve
employer. Oa Monday a deputation attended s,
;
Clumber to present an address recently adopted a
a public meeting of the inhabitants of Worksop'
Ti.e deputation was headed by the Rev, J. APO'
ton, the vicar. The address, which was exquisitely
illuminated on vellum, in the style of the loth cell
tury, and enclosed in a pollard oak casket, was
.
strongly expressive of the sympathy of the jobs%
tants on account of the long and painful illness
with which the Duke has been afflicted. It al,
eluded as follows :—" Moved by sentiments of the
highest esteem of your Grace's public character, 81:A
1
of affectionate regard for your social and moral
worth, we-shall not cease to pray that it may Please
the Giver of all Good to restore you to perfect
health, and that you may yet be permitted for many
years to assist, by your great talents and mature,
judgment, in promoting the prcsperity of tblo
neighbourhood and the people at large in who's
interests you have already sacrificed so much." I°d
4
Edward Clinton, in reply to the address, expreea'
himself deeply grateful to them and the subscribers
to the address. On the occasion of his father's fa:
turn to Clumber nothing could exceed the earnest
interest which was evidenced by the whole popo'll
tion. He hoped the time would come (although st
present it seemed hoping against hope) when 11
is
father would be able to give expression to his fee':
ing of gratitude and regard for this unusual display
of kindness. It was not only most gratifying tAc)
him, but to every member of his family. His I°l.°:
ship then invited, the deputation to a lunch, which
was of a most recherche character, and was presided
over by his lordship. Before leaving Clumber'
Lord Edward presented each of the deputation with
a beautiful photograph of the noble duke.
