On Saturday afternoon, as some youngsters were roving in
a wood near Wincheap, they observed a man servant scratch.
ing the earth from the root of an old tree, and, supposing he
had found a treasure, they watched his movements. On his
leaving the wood they repaired to the spot, and discovered
that he had concealed two bottles of port wine. It is needless
to add that they made no hesitation in taking the booty, with
which they afterwards enjoyed themselves, of course to the
chagrin of the depositor when he learned his mistake in se-
creting that which doubtlessly had been fraudulently obtained.
Could the bottles be identified, what a tale they would tell
against him in whom, probably, confidence is now placed by
his master.—Kentish

FALMOUTH HARBOUR AND PACKET STATICN'. —We have
much pleasure in being able to
communicate -favourable in-
telligence connected with the interests of this port. Go-
vernment, we are happy to say, have granted the Aurora
coal-hulk, with her moorings, _ together with the use of a
lighter, and such stores as may be requisite, from the dock-
yard at Devonport, for the purpose of assisting •
in their plans for improving the har the committee
great exertions of the Cornish members,bour. Through the
Govern
at last been induced to agree to a plan, )Y which,men t have
Falmouth will ultimately triumph over all her op we trust,
opponents. A
commission is to be appointed, of three properly qualified in-
dividuals, who are to survey Southampton, Plymouth, and
Falmouth, and to report which place is, in their opinion, the
most advantageous as a station for the West India steamers.
Entertaining no doubt whatever upon the great supericaity.
of this port over every other in the Channel, we are very
sanguine as to the result, and that Falmouth will still con-
tinue, as she has been for nearly two centuries—the packet
station of Great Britain.—Fahnouth Expron.
