r. Eopex.x ~, Nal RosBERY Sometime in last
June check ON the - Tome bank 10 new io IN
vannah in letter irem Tallahassee by an ndivldu-
al who sigued himself Geo. w. Southwei, re-
guessing Mr.. Waters 10 purchase some iurni,ure,
he and send II To Jacksonville, TO the care oil L,
w Jones, and also to remit the balance OF the mo-
ney by mail, also 10 Jacksonville, directed TO Geo
w. Southwell Mr.; Waters transacted the business
as directed, and in the routine OF his employ, for.
wsrded the check TO some bank, where it even
tualy cane TO the counter Of the bank on which it
was; when, on examination, II was found that the
name OF " A. ID Cole" to whom II was payable,
dinghy pronounced false, protested by the bank the
money refunded by the different banks. &c. into
whose hands had previously fallen, until II again
came into the possession of Mr. Waters who also had
TO make II good. The horn OF the dilemma now
rests on Mr. Waters. In the first boat 10 Florida he
despatched an agent TO Jacksonville, and who IN
conversation with I. w. Jones, Esq, a merchant,
and formerly lntendant OF our town, 10 whose care
the furniture, &c. had been directed fixed the for
gerry on man named Morris r.. Everltt, who had
forged an order for the goods, under the name of
Ieorge w Souhwel, and received them from Mr..
Jones. The fact was evident, and under warrant
he was arrested The articles were also found in
his possession, and were taken by the marshal.
IL appears that Everett carried the mail for
Der OF years, on the route from Alligator 10 Talla-
hassee IL was during that time that he had robbed
the mali OF the check, Other robberles 10 small
Ter extent have been charged TO him. There is no
doubt but that he had followed the business for
some years.
Al the Time OF the arrest he was EMPLOYED as q
mall driver between this place and st. Augustine.
Too much credit cannot be given for his speedy ar
rest. 10 our worthy and efficient postmaster, John
Va. Pons, assisted by our active city marshal, Law
renee Ryan. learn that Everett drew knife on
these gentlemen al the time of taking him, using
threats OF personal violence, &c.
Everett appeared quite detected in court TO day |;
his eyes were much swollen through grief His
vile remained in the jail with him last night. He
does not seem TO be more than twenty four or five
years OF age; is good looking, and his general APP
pearance and department would not lead any one
10 believe that he could be guilty of the charges
preferred against him. -Jacksonrle, E. +. Tropical

SUDDEN DEATH-SPEcrE PAYMENT Spaniard
by the name OF Juan Berdere, who had fish stall
lnthe lower market, tell down and died instantly
YESTERDAY morning. It's supposed that he was at
tcted with some disease OF the heart. An Incl
dent connected with this demise led us TO some
queer Thoughts upon the different ways adopted Tor
the sale keeping and disbursement of (lndlvdu-
ai) MONIES" The deceased has no connections,
and was repured 10 have possessed some hte
wealth, so the authorities as in duty bound pro-
ceeded to search and take charge of the premises
Alter searching some time and finding nothing OF
any value. they at length disodged about twenty
Sticks OF wood from nosk in the chimney, and in
one OF ihem-a tough and gnary cus,omer-they
found SIX doubloons, which had been hidden away
In hole drilled Tor that purpose In the frame
work OF the bedstead quantity of specie was also
found, but II is thought that great deal more re-
mains undiscovered Whereabouts, and which will
amply pay the authorities for the trouble OF taking
an inventory OF SAID slcRS. 30 we md that, while
some contend that the only safe place for money is

GALE ON LAKE MIcHIGAN.-We have no definite
information from beyond Detroit, but from the non.
arrival OF the Chicago boats, apprehend there

Tangement the Wayne mas been ordered TO load and

The REBEooAiTEs, it seems, are not confined to
Wales. The Columbus (Ohio) Journal OF the 26h
says;-We understand that a serious occurrence
took place a few days since at a toll gate on The
Columbus and Sandusky turnpike, near Delaware
number OF persons had assembled, tits said, TO
pull down the gate, while there were Others IN at.
tendance TO defend it. The latter party were pro-
vlded with fire arms, and shot into the crowd,
woundlng one man dangerously. This may not be
strict version of the ARRAY but it is as it was told
TO us; On the l6lh inst. number of persons as
sembled at the toll gate short distance north of the
city, and demolished 1t, as well as the toll house.
