advance.
COFFEE.—British Plantation Coffees are steady, and fo-
reign sorts were firm, owing to the demand which exists
abroad. The Netherlands Trading Company's sales of 90,000
bags having sold with animation, prices for foreign coffees
are more firm here.

HIGH TIDE AT LEITH.—On Saturday last, the
harbour exhibited the highest tide that has been witnessed
here for some years. The water rose in some places to
within a foot or two of the edge of the quay, and presented
the novel spectacle of vessels lying, to appearance, almost out
of the water. Some houses in Baltic-street, from the drain
that runs in that direction, were partially flooded in the sunk
flats. The depth of water over thQ bar would not be much short
of twenty feet.—Edinburgh Chronicle.
DESTRUCTIVE SHOT.-We stated in a former
number that Colonel R. Sutton shot from a pony, upon Colo-
nel Peel's manor, at Beckenham, near Thetford, between the
hours of seven and three, 110 brace of birds. The shooting so
great a number of birds is sufficient to excite surprise, but the
manner in which it was accomplished is still more interesting.
The Colonel was attended by thirty persons carrying flags upon
long poles, who placed themselves round the fields where the
cosies were found; the birds being frightened, flew in various
directions, but not to a great distance, and were correctly
marked down. The Colonel was furnished with two double-
barrelled guns, which were substituted for two others at the
instant required; he shot from either shoulder, aid in many
instances two brace of birds fell before he moved. Having
won his bet, the Colonel, on his way home, resumed his sport,
and actually bagged 31 brace more before be retired from the
scene of destruction.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
On Sunday last an ingenious robbery was committed
at the Castle and Falcon Inn, Aldersgate-street, and upwards
of 40/. worth of plate and sovereigns belonging to two gentle-
men who were stopping there carried off. On Saturday even-
ing Mr. Jackson, a gentleman residing at Manchester, pur-
chased various articles of plate at the shop of Mr. Savory, the
silversmith in Cornhill, which he took with him to the above
inn, and packed them up in his portmanteau, as he was to have
left town for Manchester on the following evening. Almost
immediately after Mr. Jackson had entered the inn he was fol-
lowed by a well-dressed person, who had the appearance of a
foreigner, who inquired, in a kind of half French and half
English, if he could be accommodated with a bed for the night,
and was answered in the affirmative. He was subsequently
shown to a chamber adjoining that in which Mr. Jackson slept.
On the following ( Sunday) morning he had breakfast in the
coffee-room, after which he went out for a short time, and re-
turned with a tall well-dressed young man, and both went up
stairs together. Shortly after one o'clock the Frenchman and
his friend came down stairs, carrying with them the carpet bag
and portmanteau which the former had brought there on the
night before, and having paid the bill, they called a cab and
instantly drove off. In a short time afterwards Mr. Jackson
returned to the inn, and having occasion to put something into
his portmanteau, he discovered, on unlocking it, that the plate
which it had contained, together with a rosewood writing-desk,
in which was deposited papers and documents of considerable
consequence, had been taken out. It was also found that an-
other portmanteau in the same room had been unlocked, and
ten sovereigns taken therefrom.
