DISCOVERY OF SECRETED TREASURE.--The Oude
teaczette of Nevember 15th thus records a great recovery of
oreted Treasure at Lucknow, together with some promise
a still larger restoration of stolen goods to the rightful
o'
Pei% of them :—" The capture of a most magnificent lot
() eWels, valued at upwards of 15 lacs of rupees, was made
yej
aterday by a local official, as zealous in the service of Go-
eiltnent as (pardonably) in his own in his own interest.
Three of the diamonds alone are said to be worth 10 lace.
The
Property, which is now in the safe keeping of the

kahar, who had lately excited very strong suspicion by
sal movements and mode of living, on information given by
old woman with whom he had been living for some years
but
a whore now the foolish fellow had set aside in favour of
younger one. She has, however, had her revenge. It is
paid
a, that the kaha, who glories in the name of Budloo, has
lard very large quantity of these valuables, but that a
rleber quantity, together with an immense amount of money,
mains to be recovered from him."

The Tribunal of Commerce has just given a judg-
-7;311.t of great importance to tradesmen who are in the
°Rk tof transmitting orders by telegraph. M. Souchet,
ee .ding i
at Mello (Dour-Sevres) some time since sent a
,widitional order for goods to MM. Jeanti and Sons,
,1211 a request that if his terms were accepted, an
'"ver should be returned at once by telegraph. MM.
a eatiti accepted the offer, and at once handed in toe
answer to the telegraph office, but the clerk unfortunately
'mistook Mello for an abbreviation of Marseilles, and sent
the Message to the latter city. The error was discovered
deOng the day, and the message was then sent to its proper
nation, where it arrived in the evening. Meanwhile,
however, M, Souchet had purchased the goods ho wanted
of another party and refused to take those of MM. Jeanti.
2:ie latter accordingly commenced proceedings against him
loP breach of contract, and demanded 2,000 fr. damages, on
t
Ile ground that they had forwarded their answer by the
Means selected by M. Souchet, and that ho alone was re-
sponsible for the consequences. After hearing counsel for
• Souchet, the Tribunal decided that the telegraph was as
much the agent of one party as of the other, and that the
responsibility must fall on the person sending the message ; t
herefore rejected the plaintiff's demand with costs.
