Nothing decisive has been heard in the City
Petting Stephenson. It is said that Mr. Welch, the
ger, accompanied Stephenson to Bristol, at which place
took a skiff, and proceeded down the river. They went
Bristol, it is added, by way of Windsor. A shrewd
ver man, who has taken a great deal sf trouble to in-
'tigate this affair, says that he is decidedly of opinion that
phenson is either on board the Calr4bria or in London.
Aterning Paper.
A Correspondent assures us, with the utmost
ifitlence, that there is not the slightest ground for sup-
,ing that Rowland Stephenson is still in this country;
that there is any chance whatever, beyond what the ac-
lent of contrary winds may afford, of his apprehension.
is, he says, beyond all doubt that he was eat at sea on
t evening of the day after he quitted London, and that
has never since neared the English coast. He promises
give details. —Morning Paper.
The teachers of anatomy in this city were ex-
litled by the Lord Advocate on Monday. The subject of
ernination related to the mode of procuring dead bodies,
'd the dealings of the anatomists with those who bring
ern; but the particulars, as might be expected, have
it been suffered to transpire. Other examinations, with
! view of probing the system to the bottom, have been
"ig on in the presence of the Sheriff; and we understand
'era is a probability of some others of the individuals
teerned in the bloody traffic being brought to account
r their misdeeds.-- Scots/non.
