UTTERING FORGED NOTES.—A young man, giving the
name of Pierce, has been uttering forged Bank of Eng-
land notes in Manchester, and there are at this time in
the hands of Mr. Richard Beswick, chief superintendent
of police in that town, one 101. and two 51. notes, all of
which are forgeries, paid by this person. All that is
known of the man at present is, that on Thursday
last he went into Grosvenor-street, Chorlton-upon-
Medlock, and engaged respectable lodgings. On
Saturday evening, he gave the servant woman a 101.
Bank of England note, and asked her to get it changed.
She obtained change for it without difficulty, at the
shop of Mr. Bracewell, butcher, and the man having
ascertained from where she had got the change,
afterwards went to the same shop himself and got
a 51. Bank of England note cashed. It turned out that
both notes were forgeries, and the other Si. note men-
tioned above, was sent to the police-office by another
person who had been similarly victimised. The man
had ordered a good stock of provisions at his lodgings,
but never returned there after getting his notes changed
as described. The notes are tolerably well executed, on
watered paper, with the words, " Bank of England" in
the watermark similar to real Bank of England notes,
but the paper has a rougher surface and much harsher
feel than the genuine. The man is described as a light-
haired, thin-faced person, with bushy whiskers and
effeminate voice, and is about sft. Bin. high, and 30
years of age. The notes bear date " London, April 12,
1852."

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE IN SOUTH AMERICA.—By the
schooner Lamartine, which cleared at this port yester-
day for Cumana, Venezuela, a party of adventurers go
out, furnished with a complement of machinery, for the
purpose of raising treasure from the wreck of the Span-
ish vessel, San Pedro, which was lost off Venezuela more
than a century ago. It is supposed that the vessel had
about nine million dollars on board, which were sent by
the home government to pay off troops in her dominions
in the New World. Some two years since a portion of
the present party discovered the wreck, and with the
aid of a little apparatus for the purpose, succeeded in
realising about twenty-five thousand dollars, and cleared
the wreck, so that they now anticipate operations will
be comparatively easy. A steam engine will be carried
out, and also a diving machine, together with submarine
armour, and all other apparatus deemed necessary for 10
the most scientific fathoming of the " boundless deep."
Should this enterprising company secure the whole of 15°
2 their supposed vastly rich prize, they will not only sud.

SINGULAR FULFILMENT OF A DREAM.—About a St.
month ago, the deceased, Jonathan Wood, of FlaX- 20
house, near Holmfirth, whose parents are dead, left
his employment under the pretext that he felt unwell,
and saying he thought a walk would do him good. °
From that time up to Tuesday, the 16th instant, St.
the most diligent search was made for him, and an 17
advertisement issued respecting him, but without sue- 25
cess. On the above day, an acquaintance of his, in con-
sequence of a dream he had that his missing friend was
drowned in the Black Syke Reservoir, went in search ;
his first visit was unsuccessful, but not feeling satisfied,
he repeated the visit, and discovered the body floating 40
00
upon the surface of the water. The body was removed 1
to the Ford Inn, and an inquest took place on the fol-
100 lowing day, before G. Dyson, Esq. coroner, and a re-
100
spectable jury, when the following verdict was given—
" Found drowned."—Leeds Mercury.
THE POOR MAN DWYER.—Yesterday the Lambeth
police reporter was requested to acknowledge the fol-

SALE OF LAND.—Mr. Hope Johnstone's estate of
Corrie was, on Wednesday last, set up in Edinburgh at
71,000/., and, after a variety of bodes, was knocked
down to Mr. James Steuart, W.S., for Andrew Jardine,
Esq., of Laurick, at 72,100/., being nearly 40 years'
