pounds. This is serious matter In that
establishment-not the cash, but the dis
crepancy, however slight. An error in the
balancing has been known to keep delega-
ton of clerks from each department at work
sometimes through the whole night A
hue and cry, therefore, was made after this
one hundred pounds, as if the old lady in
Thred-needle street would be in the Gazette
as an iusolvent for the want of It. Luckily,
on the Sunday morning following, the clerk.
in the middle of the sermon, perha2s-felt a
suspicion of the truth dart through his mind
quicker than lightning fash. He told the
chief cashier, on Monday morning, that per-
haps the mistake might have occurred in
packing some boxes of specie for the West
Indies, which had been sent to Southampton
for shipment. The suggestion was immedi-
ately acted upon. Here was a race-light-
ming against steam, and steam with start
of forty eight hours. Instantly the wires ask
ed whether such vessel had "left the har-
bor" "Just weighing anchor" was the re-
ply, "Stop her," frantically shouted the tel
egraph. 1t was done. "Have on deck GER
tain boxes, marked SO and so, aud weigh them
carefully" They were weighed. and one,
the delinquent, was found heavier by just one
packet of hundred sovereigns than it ought
to be. "Let her go" says the mysterious tel
egraph. The West India folks were debited
with just one hundred pounds more, and the
error was corrected without looking into the
boxes, or delaying the voyage an hour.
