THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO WALMER

CASTLE:

WALmER, lirnivEsDAf..--:Yosterday the weather
was so boisterous and wet that her Majesty and the
Prince were enabled only to enjoy a short walk on the
beach at Deal early in the morning.
Captain Pring, of the Thunderer, and Captain R.
Jenkinson, from Dover Castle, had the honour of
joining the Royal dinner party in the evening.
This morning, at a quarter before ten o'clock, her
Majesty walked with his Royal Highness on the
beach to Kingsdown, which is a neat little fishing
village, about a mile from the Castle. His Royal
Highness asked several questions of the old weather-
beaten fishermen who had just landed from herring
fishing. Her. Majesty and the Prince afterwards
passed by the Coast Guard station, and inspected the
old sea-wall on the top of the cliff, and returned to the
Castle by Mrs. Herridge's -hut on the.beach.
In the afternoon, shortly before three. o'clock, her
Majesty and his Royal Highness .again walked out
in the neighbourhood of the Castle for a short time.
The weather, both to-day and yesterday, has been
too severe for the Royal infants to leave the Castle.
Her Majesty's 18-gun sloop, , Captain
Warren, from the East Indies, came into the Downs in
the night, and anchored off Walmer Castle ; at half-
past seven o'clock she saluted her Majesty, and shortly
before nine o'clock weighed anchor, and proceeded to
the northward. •

To-morrow, if the weather proves fine, her Majesty
and the Prince will visit Sandwich.

Lady Portman takes her departure to-morrow.
Covers for the Royal dinner party this evening will
be laid for thirteen, the only additions to the Royal
suite being Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson.
Her Majesty will leave Walmer for Brighton, ac-
cording to the present arrangement, on the 22d inst.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCO VERY
AND REMARKABLE FRAUD.

Considerable sensation has been created in town
during the last few days, in consequence of the disco-
very of a piece of villany and fraud, which, we rejoice
to say, is but of rare occurrence in a commercial city.
Our readers will recollect, that between three and
four years ago, one of the tellers of a bank in town,
on balancing up the transactions of the day, found
himself minus a sum of upwards of one thousand
pounds. The occurrence, at the time, gave rise to a
good 'deal of speculation, as it was evident to the
parties who were acquainted with the teller, and
from the good character he possessed, that he must
have given the money in mistake to some one, when
making payments in the course of business. No
one, in fact, had the most distant thought that
he was guilty of making away with it. The
question then was, who had got the money,
and notwithstanding that every means were
used, no trace could be had, and after a time the
search was abandoned as hopeless. The consequence
was, that the sureties had to pay up the sum missing
to the bank, and the matter may be said to have been
forgotten till about the middle of last week, when, as
we are informed, two individuals who formerly ear •
ried on business together in Glasgow, but who
are at present bankrupts, having been drinking
with some friends, had a dispute, which becom-
ing violent, both parties retorted on each other
in the most abusive manner, and ultimately it came
out that they, or one of them, in course of business
with the bank referred to, had, by a mistake on
the part of the teller, got upwards of 1,0001. more
than belonged to them ; that, in fact, they had got
the sum which the teller found himself deficient
of. This occurrence was instantly communi-
cated to the bank, and immediate steps were taken
to apprehend the parties referred to. One of
them was secured on the following day, but the
other has since left town. It is thought, however,
from the clue that has been got of his movements,
that he is by this time in the custody of one of our
most active criminal officers, who has been dispatched
in pursuit of him. At present, and for obvious
reasons, we decline giving names, and the addi-
tional particulars with which we have been
furnished. The parties said to be guilty were
well known in the business which they followed,
and in the community generally. the subject
has excited the most lively interest in com-
mercial circles, verifying, as it is likely to do, the
old English adage, " When rogues cast out, honest
men get their own." We heartily congratulate the
young man connected with the bank and his friends
upon the discovery, even though not one farthing ofthe
money shouldever be recovered.--Glasgow Chronicle.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSA LL'S-YESTERDAY.

THE DERRY.—Offers of 8f to 1 on the field, and to
take 20 to 1 about Murat, and 22 to 1 about Winesour,
but no bet laid ; the attendance thinner than usual,
owing, we presume, to the Newport Pagnel Steeple Chase.
