Co.hocton sub-Treasury ROBBERS.

The examination of Geo. Wilson, at Ooshoc-
ton. on the charge of being one of the Sub
Treasury robbers, resulted in his being held to
bail in $4,000 for trial. He was also required
to rive bail in the sum of $1,000 in the Walhond-
ing burglary case. Failing to get bail IN ootn
cases he was sent to jail. 1t is stated that the
uroof against him as one of the Sub-Treasury
robbers is conclusive. He was identified by
the Treasurer, and it was proven that he was
seen stealing the rope with which the Treasurer
was bound while the robbery was committed
Wilson is also charged with three other burg
laries in COshoctOn county. If convicted on
all the indictments which viii be found agains
him, his sentences may amount to about sixty
wears! He was arrested al Eaton, Preble coun'
ty.
Bell, the Columbus man charged with th'
Sub-Treasury robbery, was held to in th'
sum of Sc, 900, for lack of which he was agalI
committed. Two brothers of Bell are under ar
rest for perjury. The examination at Coshoc
tom was largely attended, and considerable e1
element existed. The stolen money has no

Twenty Lake Vessels for the Oeean Trade
Messrs. J. L. HuKD & Co, Detroit, we see
advertise for the charter of Twenty hrst-class
vessels for the British West Indies, Hamburg
and English Ports. Offers for the above ports
direct. received up till the 25th of February
Vessels to be ready to load by April 18th, SO as
to get out of the St. Lawrence as soon as the
ice will permit.
The Detroit Tribune in noticing the move
"a omen a direct trade between Detroit and the
West Indies, states that the vessels will take out
slaves, choice timber, -four, DC, de-, and return
with sugar, molasses, fruits, and every descriP-
ton of goods peculiar to that region, articles ol
EVERYDAY consumption with the people OF Mich
igan. The Tribune says:
We understand number Of the weaitnies1
and most influential merchants OF Europe, as
we'll as some of the heaviest New YORK deal
s-s have taken hold of this enterprise, and that
its triumphant success Is a fixed tact. Ihey
firmly believe that the twenty vessela now ad-
vertised for, will be but the vanguard OF an I'M
mense trade both to the European ana "est
India ports, of which Detroit, from us eehIfa. !

which it is the natural mart, will be the heao
quarters on the Lakes.
AS we last year predicted, the bold, enterPn-
sing spirit and far-seeing wisdom OF captain
Pierce, who, in his gallant little bark, the her-
ska,c. was the pioneer of our foreign trade, mas
been instrumental in directing the attention OF
| the spacious capitalists of Europe TO the un-
naraIleled advantages presented for its prosecu-
ton. While even in the prosperous cities Oh
the sea board, commerce languishes Tor tne
want of ladiug for vessels, our forests anoIu
cargoes literally almost exhaustible in extern,

will increase in four-fold greater proportion

over any other that can be named As Is wei, !
known, large share Of the slaves snipPeo

MERRIMAN's ESTATE. We noticed some
time since that certain parties in Germany had
SET up a claim to the estate of MeTriman, the
old miser who died at Upper Sandusky some
two years since 1t appears that there are two
other parties claiming it. One being the State
Board of Agriculture and the other the School
authorities. A hearing was had before the
Probate Court of Wyandot county, on the tling
of the account of the Administrator, in which
these three parties were represented. The re-
suit will finally be that the lawyers will pocket
