conviction of GILCHRIST for this crime, the Commercial
Bank has, through his means, got back upwards of 4,0001.
of the stolen notes ; and BROWN, his associate, has been
sent west along with a messenger, to show where the rest
are concealed. This has been a voluntary act on the part
of GlLcuatsT, and will no doubt operate in his favour,
should a petition be presented to the Crown for a commu-
tation of his sentence.— Caledonian Mercury.
PORTSOKEN WARD.—Owing to the rejec-
tion of Mr. Alderman SCALES by the Aldermen, &c., all
the inhabitants, including the freemen who supported him,
have refused to pay the rates, on the ground that no rate
can be legally demanded, unless signed by the Alderman of
the Ward. The Trustees of the Watch and Scavengering,
and Common Council, &c., who opposed Mr. SCALES, in
wnsequenee of this resolution of the rate payers, find their
exchequer without money sufficient to pay even the next
week's salary to the half•watchmen, and have convened a
meeting, to be held at ten o'clock in the morning of
Monday next, with a view to adopt measures on the sub-
Jed. The objecting
.party, however, seem determined to
abide by their resolutions, though even the watchmen, &c.
way be discharged in consequence.
RAPE AT MACCLESFIELD.—(From a Cor-
respondent.)—An offence of this revolting description
,a., perpetrated at Macclesfield, on the evening of Satur-
day last, by a married man of the name of JAMES DALE,
upon all interesting girl of 16, and who is a near relation
to the offender. A very long investigation of the affair
took place before the Magistrates, which ended in the pri-
soner being committed to Chester Castle for trial at the
next assizes, in the course of which it appeared that DALE
met the girl on the Waters-green, and after a great many
persuasions succeeded in getting her into an unfrequented
field near the river, where he committed the alleged
offence. The cries of the girl brought one of Messrs
CLARKE'S watchmen to her assistance, when the fellow
was secured. In his defence he denied any intention of
that nature, and attempted to stain the girl's chnucter.
