nothing`, positive as to futurity was hinted at. The
present members, Sir N. C. Colthurat and Mr.
Hutchinso), were amply lauded : it was said that
the latter should be supported, but it was not re-
solved wheth t;

GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

About 15 years since, Mr. Thomas Austin ca-
tered on the establishment iir the capacity of clerk,
and, by his unremitting attentimi to the duties of his,
office, he attracted the notice and obtained the pa-
tronage of Sir John Colpoys, lyho was at that
period Treasurer of the Hospital. On tlAe death of
Lord Hood, Sir John Colpoys succeeded him as
Governor, acrd Sir Thomas Thompson became the
Treasurer, who strongly recommended Mr.. Austin
for the situation of Deputy Treasurer. Tie. apnli-
, cation was successful, and Mr. Austin contim led to
fill the duties of his important station nearly t'p to
the time of the present unfortunate expose. TI. Tee
or four months ago Sir Thomas Thompson dit
and was succeeded by the present Treasurer, Sit*
William Johnstone Hope, who selected a Mr. Payne.
for his Deputy; but previous to undergoing the re-
spomsibility attached to his situation, declared his de-

reward of one hundred guineas, shoulLi he succeed
in arresting him. The unhappy man e,,as traced
from his house at Sydenham, to Hounsl.lw, from
which latter place he got on the Woreestc T coach,
when all further clue was lost. It is stated t.liat he
has adopted a strict disguise, and it is rumourt.'d he
has taken a route towards Ireland, of which kiNg-
dom he is a native. It was reported last night a t
Greenwich, that Farmer had succeeded in appre-
hending him at Milford Haven, but we have reason
to believe that there is no truth in the rumour. H.
Smith, Esq., the Clerk of the Check at the Hos-
pital, and Mr. Watson, stone-macron, at Greenwich,
were Mr. Austin's security for :3,000/. and we are
informed they have since paid it.

INCREASE OF THE TRADE OF LIVERPOOL.
_lt is said that the dock dues received ti,t Liverpool in
July ja.,t, exceeded the sum received in July, 1527, by
.'(laf. On Monday last 20,000/. were received for
cu
Liverpool Custom-house ; and doling the
week an entry sVas taken for the largest quantity of cotton
e.t‘ies at the
wool ever container: in oue warrant, either at this or yer-
haps any other Cubtoo-house in the world.
The weather has been very rainy every day of
this week except yesterlay, A severe thunder storm on
Monday night, during sOkich there were frequent vivid
flashes of lightning, was followed by a heavy fall of rain,
which continued with little inter:miesiou on Tuesday. The
rain has done little injury in Naini as. Morayshire, only
two fields in which the crop has been nn,ch lodged, being
seen from the road between Inverness and Elgin, one of
these at Castle Stewart, Petty, and the other Ardgay,
near Elgin. A field of Georgian oats on the .farm of
Janefield, belonging to Mr. MACKINTOSH, of Mil,jiank,
was cut down on Friday last, fully ripe, and a heavy cr.'''.
In Strathspey, and in the Highlands generally, there is the
appearance of an excellent crop, but it will be late, being
yet quite green. It is remarkable, that while other places
are deluged, there has been less rain on the west coast,
than in ordinary seasons.—lneentess Journal.
