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 shrubs, and a quantity of
other plants, were wantonly destroyed. The damage done
was about 2,000 fr.

A gold coin, bearing the inscription of Henry V.
King of Fngland " 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 HIT 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
engaged in a diet of visitation. In those days the parochial
clergyman was 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
wasna the Duke o' Queensberry, I guess," was the cutting
reply.—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,
was destroyed by fire early on Monday morning. The fire
spread with extraordinary rapidity, and in a short time the
different floors and the roof of the mill fell in. The ma-
chinery and materials were totally destroyed. No part of
the mill was insured.

®The Warsaw Courier of the lat says :—" The
Princess Gortchakoff, wife of the Lieutenant of the King-
dom of Poland, left Warsaw yesterday, with her daughter,
to go abroad."
