PERSONATING A COUNTY COURT OFFICER.—
This morning a man, named Ealdon, was fully committed
for trial on a charge of endeavouring to obtain money of a
Mrs. Cathrey by falsely representing himself to be an
officer of the Westminster County Court.
At Havre, three nights back, a stupid act of
vengeance was perpetrated in the nursery of a gardener,
named Lecolant—about 1,800 ahrttbs, and a quantity of
other
plants, were wantonly destroyed. The damage done
was about 2,000 fr.

A gold coin, bearing the
of Kiinscription of Henry V.
ng England "and France" and the arms of the two
countries, was found buried a few days back near Harfleur,
which place the King, it may be remembered, had besieged.
PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY OF UNITED BROTHERS.
--The annual performance in aid of the funds of this
charity took place on Tuesday evening, at Sadler's Wells
Theatre, under circumstances the most gratifying to the
Members and friends of the society. The performances
consisted of Shakespeare's tragedy of " Othello," and the
farce entitled "A Roland for an Oliver." The theatre was
literally crammed, and very many were unable to gain
Admission.

A PTIT AT PATRONAGE.—A Dumfriesshire clergy.
man of the past century, who had obtained his parish from
the patron, apart from the wishes of his future hearers, was
ce2negraggyrnat v
engaged in
itsaads ietof visitation. In those days the parochial
expected to examine both old and young re-
specting their Scriptural knowledge. " Who made Paul a
Preacher ?" inquired the minister of a shrewd old Presby-
terian who had little relish for his pastoral services. "It
Qasna the Duke o' Queensberry, I guess," was the cutting
Ply—Scotch. Paper.
DESTRUCTION OF A WOOL MILL.—The large
building on the banks of the Bannock, near Milton, about
three miles from Stirling, used as a wool mill by Mr. Reid,
Js destroyed by fire early on Monday morning. The fire
iff with extraordinary rapidity, and in a short time the
chinrertyt floors and the rcof of the mill' fell in. The ma-
materials were totally destroyed. No part of
