Saturday last a theft of a most extraordinary na-
ture took place in this city. A person who calls him-
self Smith, and appends to his name the distinction of
LLD. by some means or other contrived to steal a girl
of ten years of age hom the Orphan Hospital. On the
discove,y, the managers were thrown into great con-
sternation. and every effort was instantly made, with
the aid of the police, to discover the retreat of the fu-
gitive. Mr. Monro, messenger at arms, was dispatched
to the eastward in quest of him, and was so fortunate
as to trace him to hfusselburgh, where, after diligent
search, he was di.covered on Sunday morning with the
child, and secured atter a desperate resistance. The
hone,' town was thrown into some confusion by this
discovery. Sir John Hope, on being informed of the
affai►, with the greatest readiness immediately came in
Person, from Pinkiehouse, to interpose his authority as
Justice of the Peace. Smith was brought to town its
custody of Mr. Monro, and after examination by the
Sheriff was fully committed for trial. The child has
been restoted to the Hospital.--.Edimbarre Observer.

VICTUALLERS.
Yesterday was given the Anniversary Dinner of that
benevolent Institution, ler which this country is so• de-
servedly celebrated—the Licensed Victuallers' School.
The .number present was greater than has ever been
known on any former occasion. Mr. L. SZACiill
was in the Chair. and discharged the various duties
which his office required in a manner as highly creditable
to himself as it proved useful in augmenting the funds
of the Institution. The report of the state, expendi-
ture, and receipts of the Institution was highly gratify-
ing, as also the appearance of the children of the school,
whose correct and modest deportment attested the un-
ceasing care and attention of those to whom their
superintendente and education have been confided. The
picture which they presented, on being introduced to
those who have so nobly come forward to snatch them
from ignorance an 4 vice, and confer upon them the
blessings of education, was such as the eye of benevo-
lence could not fail to'rest upon with satisfaction and
delight; and the feelings which their appearance ex-
cited in their benefactors conferred a tar higher enjoy-
ment than wealth could otherwise purchase. The day
was spent in the greatest harmony and conviviality, in
peace and good fellowship.
