ary- Mr. Stone the lawyer alluded to in the COM
munication of Thomas ID. Littlefied, in yesterdays
paper was substituted in the place of another attor-
new, who, before the trial came on, expected to
leave the city. Mr.. S. undertook the defence Of
said salt without receiving compensation, although
Il was promised him. He has had TO pay the dis
burss himself, and made, as he believes sue
cessful defence for Captain Ltleheld, five witness
es having sworn to the scandalous words, while but
one witness appeared for the defendant; and his evil
dence only went to show that he did not hear them,
and yet the jury found for the plaintiff but six cents
damages and six cents cost
Captain Littefield is doubtless detained in custo-
DIV for ike non-paymcnt of the plaintiffs costs and
judgement and he certainly ought not to expect his
attorney defend him for nothing, and pay disburse
ment and judgement likewise. The attorney alluded
to - taken coer-ive measures whatever TO OBJ

In the New Orleans Picayune we find
the following important record; which we
submit to the attention Of the curious:
A man by the name Of Antiespy is lectu-
ring in Glasgow upon a new theory OF check
ing thunder showers and driving away ram.
In Persia a mineral has been discovered

A prize deiector has been invented ia

wonderful detector is fifty per cent. more

a Scotchman proposes an apparatus, the
use of which entirely does away with the

From the Richmond Compiler.

For some DAYS much eXcItiiiant has pre-
vailed in our city in consequence "f the sud.
dent disappearance of VIM. b. Dahney, First
Teller in the Bank of Virginia. and the cir
of avarietv of runors rs = the
cause OF his disappearance. We torbore
to notice them because OF their vague char
acrer. Blu, an examination by a committee
OF Directors has proved his guilt so fully that
the Governor has issued n proclamation
offering a reward ofS2OO for his npprehcn-
sion, and the Bank has appended an addi-
tional reward of $4,000.
The proclamation charges that he has
.feloniously embezzled Il considerable amount
Of the funds OF the b INK entrusted TO his care,
and the Bank notice specifies that he has
embezzled a large amount of money in bank
notes.
There are a variety of rumnrs yet in
circulation relative To the amount embezz ed,
&c. The affair is painful enough. and has
deeply distressed many of our citizens. Mr..
Dlbney up To the time Of his disappearance
bore a spofless reputation. and commanded
the warm esteem of all who know him. Hi.
train Of connections is extensive and of great
responsibility.
He left last Friday. and went as far as
Taylorsville on the Redmond and Freder.
lcksburg Railroad, whence it is supposed he
pr"ceeded westwardly. He had been fpr
eievn years FRS, Teller in the Bank, and
enjoyed the most perfect confidence Of the
Directory and officers Of the institution.
An official expose will prohaly. in a day
or so, rs soon as all the facts are ascertained,
place the country in possession Of all that
can he known at present. We believe the
deficit is now known TO be between 400 and
$500, 900.
