found on the list of wagermen, came of on Monday at Deptford
for a purse of sovereigns, given by the residents or the vicinity.
The contest was in five heats, with six pair of sculls, and was
exceedingly attractive. The prize was gained by John Bear,

THE RIVERS.—The quiet pastime of angling has,
since the 12th, been mostly relinquished for the more vigorous
exercise of the hills and forests. Such as preferred the rod to
the gun have, however, had excellent sport. Lord Emlyn and
friends landed twenty-five salmon from the Finclhorn in four
days. Mr. Bonham Carter killed four in one afternoon at
Bonar Bridge, and at the same place Mr. Broadwoed got
three. In the river Conan the fishing may now bs said to be
nearly at an end. Very few have been got since our last notice.
The rod fishing in the Tweed in the neighbourhood has been
pretty good for two or three days past. Sir Charles Dalbiac,
Sir Richard Sutton, and some other gentlemen, have had good
sport. —Ross- shire Advertiser.

UUAVJ•QRP FAIR,—On Monday this scene of ru, al
amusement was held, according to annuid rortorn, near the
bridge, in the pleasant village of Crayford. The day was fine,
and many parties from town and the parts adjacent, came to
participate in the enjoyment generally derived from a well.

the wonders of nature and art,

ALLEGED -MURDER AT ROTDERDITDE. On Mon-
day an adjourned inquest was held before Mr. C. Carter,
at the New-croi,s Inn, Deptford, on the body of Ellen Tyrell,
aged forty, whose death is supposed to have been Occa-
sioned by nudes means. A man, named White, is et
present in custody on suspicion of being concerned in her
death ; but, although the investigation lasted four hours,
very little additional information was elicited tending to
inculpate the aecused. The evidence was chiefly confined
to endeavouring to prove that he had no scratch or wound
on the face on the Wednesday he was with the deceased. On
this point, however, the evidence was very contradictory, and it
was very doubtful whether he might not have been asleep in the
yard of Styles for an hour, as he afterwards went to another
place, and staid drinking for two or three hours on the
night in question. The most important fact was, that
a white bonnet had been found under the arches of
the railway, and was like one she had worn, and her
own could no where be found, although the canal
had been dragged. The bonnet had evidently been con-
cealed 120 yards away from the canal, and the Coroner was of
opinion that that was a material fact, and that an adjournment
ought to take place for its prodection. The foreman, how-
ever, thought no good would ensue, unless White could be
traced to have been with the deceased later than he had ad-
mitted. The Coroner said the public interest must not be
sacrificed to save a little trouble. 'f he Court was then cleared
of strangers, and after about half an hour's deliberation the
inquiry was adjourned till Friday afternoon at three o'clock.
EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLENIENT.—MANCHESTER, MON..
DAT.—On Friday last a most extensive case of embezzlement
came to the knowledge of the police of this town, It appears
that a person named Isaac Andortoon was in the employ of Mr. li
J. J. Moller, a very extensive foreign merchant, carrying on
business at No. 9. Mal-hie-street, as clerk and salesman, and
had, as far as could he seen, conducted himself to the satisfac-
tion of his emp:oyer. Mr. Moller carried on a very large busi-
ness, and placed he utmost confidence in Andtrtoon. On Satur-
day week he asked leave of absence for a day or two to vi-it his
friends 41 Clitheroe, which was readily granted. He left
Manchester on that day, and has sot since been heard
of. His absence created no suspicion until Wednes-
day, when on inquiry it was discovered that he had
taken with him a very large sum of nioi,ey and
quantity of fustian good.. Immediately on this discovery
being made, information was giaen to the police, and a
therotigh investigetiori instituted, and up to this time a defi-
ciency in money alone to upwards of 4,0001. has been dis-
covered, besides a large quantity of goods, tfe value of which
has not yet been ascertained. It is also believed that the de-
ficiency of money known to have keen embeaeled falls far short
of the total amount. 'berth whicli he has absconded. Yesterday
Morning a placard was issued by the police off ring a reward
of 501. for his apprehension, but up to this t.me no trace has
been obtained to his place of retreat. It ie thought he sailed
by the Caledonia from Liverpool to the United States on Tues-
day last. He is described as being " about forty-five or fifty
)ears of age, five feet nine inche. high, plop vionately made
and of ruddy complexion." It has been known to the police
for some time that he frequented one of the gaming-houses of
haa also eorire to than. Lnoviledge that he has
this town, where such large sums of money are won and lost on
horse-raeing,
beep hipping goods to America On his own account, and that
he has done an extensive business for tome time hoot.

off. The Crocodile, 28, Captain Maxwell, also arrived this
morning. She is from the eastward, and is on her way to the
Cove of Cork, where she will hoist the flag of Admiral Sir
Hugh Pigot. It is not expected that she will sail before Tues-
day, as she has some repairs to undergo. One hundred and
sixty seamen go in her to Cove for the service squadron under
Admiral Hyde Parker. Lieutenants Fraser and Aslett, with a
detachment of twenty-two privates of the Royal Marines, are
in orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to join the
