A ROMISII PRIEST FOUND DROWNED.—A melan-
choly impression has been produced among the people of
Leith, Scotland, by the discovery of the body of the Rev.
Father Noble in the harbour nearly opposite the entrance
to the Victoria Dock. The body was found about 6 o'clock
on Tuesday morning by some fishermen, and the deceased
was last seen between 1 and 2 o'clock going in the direction
of the east pier, for wbat purpose is not known. He had
gone to bed about 12 on Monday night, and would appear
to have visited the chapel before going out, the private
door from the chapel-house being open. There had been
nothing unusual of late in his habits or demeanour, and
his resort to the pier is attributed to his not having slept
well for some time, and to his fondness of a walk in the
sea air. The probability is that he had fallen into the
water during his nocturnal perambulation. lie was greatly
liked by the Roman Catholics of the town, and highly
esteemed by the community iu general. During the recent
epidemic of cholera his services were such as to call forth
the special approbation of the magistrates. He was a native
of Ireland, and was about 43 years of age. He had been
settled in Leith for six or seven years.—Scotanzan.
