A CLEVER C 0 UPL E.—A Scotch Paper,
giving an account of the committal of a man and his wife
for an assault, says, " The husband was bred a gunsmith,
and is a first-rate picklock ; his wife, is equal to BARRING..
Tow as a pick-pocket."

BREACH. OF TRUST.—On Friday last one of
the clerks in the establishment of MASERLY and Co., in
this city, decamped with property to a very considerable
amount. He had been a long time in the service of his
employers, and was intrusted in cash transactions involving
high responsibility. A reward of 100/. has been offered
for his apprehension, and, from the minute description
given of his person and appearance, it is probable he will
not be long able to elude justice.—Scotsman.
SUDDEN DEATH AND REMARKABLE
DREAM.—On Wednesday an inquest was held at the
poor-house of St. Mary's, Warwick, on the body of
GEORGE READING, aged 65, who fell down and expired
in the church on the previous day, while attending the
funeral of a pauper. Verdict—" Died by the visitation
of God." READING'S son, who lives at Coventry, on the
night of his father's death, dreamed that be saw his father
drop down dead and put into his coffin. In consequence
of so dreaming he came over tie next morning to see
him and found him a corpse.
BURNS'S ANNIVERSARY.—The anniversary
of the birth of the great Scottish poet is this year likely
to be observed with much eclat, in consequence of the
presence of the Ettrick Shepherd in London, and the de-
sire of a number of the friends of Scotland and Scotch lite-
rature to celebrate the event in an appropriate manner. It
is a singular fact, that Hocc's birthday is the same with
BURNS'SviZ , the 25th of January. Genius found the
one at the plough, and the other at the sheepfold ; and
both are ex.raordinary examples of nature triumphing over
circumstances Several of the most popular authors in
London are taking an active part in promoting this festi-
val ; and though the Scottish nobility ant gentry will be
among its chief patrons, there can be no doubt but that
an ample proportion of English and Irish friends will join
them on an occasion which reaches the feelings of all
countries. Captain BURNS, a son of the bard, is engaged
to be of the party ; and we most cordially anticipate a
day of high convivial and intellectual enjoyment at the
Freemasons' Tavern, to commemorate the birth of this
Adelphi of Scottish Poets.--Literary Gazette,
