AYLESBURY SAVINGS' BANK.—By the ship Canada,
which has just reached Liverpool on her return voyage
from America, news has been received of the fugitive
Stratton, the clerk of the Aylesbury Savings' Bank,
which he robbed of nearly 1.0001., having arrived with
his wife and family at New York, the Canada being the
vessel in which they left England. Captain Judkins,
the commander, saw him before he left New York, driv-
ing in a carriage along the Broadway of that city, appa-
rently in high spirits. Stratton is in debt to nearly
ovary respectable traeesma❑ in Aylesbury—drapes,
ironmongers, plumbers, watchmakers, hairdressers,
coachmakers, and upholsterers being amongst the suf-
ferers. If he does not surrender to his bankruptcy
(which is not to be expected) before Mr. Commissioner
Fane on the 14th instant, he will be proclaimed an out-
law in the usual course. From his extravagant style of
living at Aylesbury, compared with the amount of his
salary. it is not expected that the " purse" he took with
him will enable him to live a life of idleness in the United
States fur long. It is not supposed there will be a
shilling in the pound for his creditors under the bAnk-
ruptcy.
The Western German Gazette states that the
execution of railways running from different parts of
Russia to Odessa, which is now in progress, will have the
effect of enabling enormous quantities of wheat to be
brought to the markets of Western Europe at a much
loner rate than at present.
