The robbery of plate and other articles of value at the Castle
has I.een discovered to be more extensive than it was at first
supposed
'I he silver table, the legs and the top of which have been
carried off, wait' a portion of the valuable effects, of a like
description, which was sent from Hanover many years since,
at the time that country was threatened to be invaded by
Buoraparte, by the army under the command of Alaishal
Alortier.

It has just been discovered that two splendid solid silver
figures of angels, of great value, upwards of sixteen inches
in height, each bearing a crown, and likewise brought from
Hanover at the period referred to, have been purloined.
These had been deposited amongst the stores, near the silver
table, a great portion of which has been carried off.
This silver table was last known to be in a perfect state,
amongst the stores, at Christmas last.
The person who has absconded had access to this part of
the stores.
Not a single article of plate from the silver pantry, which is
under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Gillett, is missing.
The porter, it is believed, has left the country.

THE APPROACHING DEMONSTRATION IN
GLASGOW. —We learn tl at it has been resolved that the
de mist: alien, announced to take pl ice in this city
durir g the E Ister recess, veil not be confined, as was
originally intended, to the consideration of the Corn-laws
aluue, but embrace the broad general question of
the duties on every description of goody and produce
impertett iato the United Kingdom, including, of course
the duties levied upon corn and provisions. We believe
that this change will afford very general satisfaction, by
gitim; an interest to the meeting which would have been
wanting had it been restricted to the Corn-law question.
The attendance of Members of Parliament will also, in
consequence of the al.eration, be largely increased, and
we may expect to hear the entire subject of the commer-
cial pAlcy of the country developed by many of the
ablest Meatb.:rs of the Legislature, and by deputations
from several of the leading commercial and manufacturing
totally. We understand that the Riding-school, in Cam-
b:i4c-street, has been fixed upon as the place where the
de.nonstralion is to be held. It forms the largest covered
space within the city, and is capable of being fitted up to
held comfortably somewhere about fifteen hundred indivi-
of Saturday week a note, en.

.tn b,
greatly obl god to M. Moore if he could cash the inclosed
cheek for him in any possible way, being in immediate
want of change, or else be would not trouble him." Mrs.
Moore having no doubt that the note and check had been
sent, as represented by the youth, by Mr. Preedy, the
hatter, near Temple-bar, and who happens to be the col-
lei,gue of Mr. Moore, 89 overseer of the parish of St.
Dons,ao, at once paid the amount of the latter. Monday
Mr Moore presented the cheek at the banking-house of
Sir C. P:i.:e and Co upon which it was drawn, and was
informed that no such person as G. Redrnain, the drawer,
was known there. Seven." respectable tradesmen have
recently been duped by fictitious checks of a similar de-
scrip ion, and most likely by the same party, as the mode
of obtaiaing cash for them is precise!), similar.
At St. Alban's Cattle Fair a dealer who had
dispo.ed of his stock to the amount of 851. was enticed
by two London sharpers, in the garb of horse dealers, to
go to the Cross Keys to look at a horse ; he went with
them, but no horse was there; they Went,
however, into
the house and took something to drink, and while there he
gave them change for a 51. note; they then enticed him
to tie tap of the Verulam Arms Hotel, and treated him
wi h two pints of wine. The dealer then fell asleep, and
when he awoke found himself minus 854 The sharpers
have got clear eft' with their booty.
His Excellency Count tic St. Aulaire, who is
arp,i,:ted to succt el M. Gtiizot as Ambassador from
France at the Bri!ish Court, is expected at Hertford
House at the close of hat mon;b.
