ROBBERY OF FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS.—This fore-
noon, about half-past eleven o'clock, a very daring and
dexterous robbery was effected in the Union Bank, In-
gram-street, by some party at present unknown. From
!-e information given to the police, it would appear that
Donald Campbell, the porter of the bank, had been out
collecting bills in the customary way through the town,
previous to the shutting up of the premises at the usual
hour on Saturday, and that, in the course of his out-
door visitatims he had received payment of the bill for
500/., the money consisting of five 100/. notes of the
Clydesdale Banking Company. With this sum he re-
turned to the bank, which at the time was much crowded,
and after enclosing the notes in a pass-book, threw them
over the counter to Mr. M'Arthur, one of the tellers,
who was at the time actively engaged with some other
business. Ten or fifteen minutes aro said to have elapsed
from the time of the passbook being thrown upon the
counter, until it was taken up by the teller, when,
strange to relate, the pass-book was found to contain no
money of any description whatever. It is not said
whether the porter kept his eye upon the book during
the whole time it lay upon the table, or at what distance
from him it was thrown; but, sure enough, the notes
were found to have been abstracted, and the police are
now in search of the thief. Criminal officers have been
dispatched by Captain Smart to the different railway
stations, to the steam-boats, and the other means of
outlet from the city, so that all suspicious parties may
be taken due cognizance of, but as yet there is no clue
to the identity of the thief.—Glasgow Saturday Post.
LONDON COFFEE AND EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS'
ASSOCIATION.—Yesterday evening, the twenty-fourth
half-yearly meeting of the members and friends of this
joint association, which was established in 1837, with the
view of affording relief to the distressed members of
these trades and their widows, and of establishing a
school for the reception and education of the orphans of
deceased members, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street. Mr. W. French, the treasurer, in
the chair. Mr. Abbott, the secretary, read the half-
yearly report of the committee. There tad been a slight
diminution in the receipts as compared with previous
half-years. The amount of the funded property in-
vested with the Commissioners for the Reduction of the
National Debt, had been increased by the interest for
the half year, amounting to 38/. 2s. 5d., which, with the
present balance in the treasurer's hands, made the funded
property belonging to the society amount to
2,0751. 19s. I Id. There ware at present eight pen-
sioners receiving relief from the society, and the sum of
above 701. was annually distributes! amongst them. The
report was agreed to, and the meeting separated.
BANK OF AUSTRALlA.—Yesterday the half-yearly
meeting of the proprietors of this company was held at
the bank in Austin-friars, for receiving a statement of
the directors on the affairs of the undertaking. Oliver
Ferrer, Esq., took the chair, and read the statement,
from which it appeared that the business at Syd!lee)e7toansd,
Launceston had been restricted by orr of t dirof
bu.
