MR. GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA has written, an-
nouncing his safe arrival in America.

A short time ago the drivers engaged in search-
ing the pool where the Royal Charter broke up four
years ago, came upon a very rich store of gold. They
found in the same spot, in the course of a few days, about
£1,200 in sovereigns and a bar of pure gold, weighing 911 b.,
which was br, ught up to London this week. The treasure
was far from being exhausted when the storm came on and
put a stop to the diving operations for the season. Messrs.
Giggs, Bright, and Co. the owners of the vessel, sold, about
a year ago, to some persons in Anglesey all claim to the
treasure found en the spot, and it is said that the specu-
lation has already paid 300 or 400 per cent. profit, although
the cost of working it is very considerable.
CAPTURE OF A LIVERPOOL THIEF.-00 the 13th
of August, 1862, a robbery was committed in the
middle of the day at the office of Mr. S. Hughes, Duke-
street, Liverpool. A clerk, named Lewis, said a man came
into the office and struck him a violent blow on the head
with a blunt instrument, rendering him insensible. On
an examination of the premises, a bag containing £2lO
was missed. The surgeon who attended Lewis found that
his skull had been nearly fractured by the blow. The
police, however, were afterwards led to doubt Lewis's state-
ment, and he was taken into custody, and subsequently
a fortnight 1113.3
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. It was also
ascertained that a man named Thomas Thomas, who
was living at a fashionable hotel in Covent-garden, was
