TREMENDOUS BANK RoBBERy.-We learn in Wall
street, that Information has just been received, that
a teller of the Bank of British North America, in
Montreal, has absconded with G40O0 or E50O0
in bank bills and gold, and it is supposed that he
took passage in the packet ship Queen Of the West,
which sailed on Monday tor Liverpool.
According to the particulars obtained from the
agents OF the bank, it appears the rascal's name is
Joseph Fiddler Ready, and that he left Montreal
the 2lst instant.
The fugitive is an Englishman, Of genteel ap-
pearance, and about .wenty-seven years Of age-is
five feet ten or eleven inches in height; slender
figure, broad chest, and shoulders in proportion to
the rest Of his person, dark brown hair-supposed to
have blue eyesylong face-very gentlemanly, and
manners composed and collected.
If he has not gone in the Queen of the West, he
may soon bs>Trested in this vicinity. Four hun.
