TNI ROYAL BRITISH BANK 8111NDLIL—It may be curious, toys the Nora Brifigh Daily Mail, to give an extract from the advertised prospectus of this swindle, as we have before us one of the advertisements published at the period of Re and establishment. After enumerating the trustees and directors, the advertisement goes on to say—" The charter of incorporation will require that a statement of the wets and liabilities of the bank shall be published monthly, and that its affairs shall be wound up, if at any time one-fourth of the paid-up capital (i.e. tl2 10s. out of 250) shall be lost. Deposi• tors, therefor*, inn incur no risk whatever, and shareholders know that their liability cannot exoeed onl. fourth of their paid-up stock, instead of their risk being, as inalmost all other banks, unlimited." We need hardly say how very illusory to both depositors and shareholders these mendacious assertions have proved. But it is instructive thwi to compare the bait with the tra_p. THS PSRTFISHIRS btoone.—A Rannoch correspondent writes as follows —" Some of our sportsmen did not arrive at their sporting lodges till the 20th August ; and the gentlemen for the deer forests on the verge of this district (but in another county) 'rave not yet arrived at their hunting seats, although, se I am informed good Iport awaits them. In regard to the grouse shooting, hear no grumbling such as was prevalent lest year. Everybody seems to be well satisfied. Parties of three or four tune bag 50 brace daily in the space of live or six hours ; and though Ole falls short of fernier seasons, we should bear in mind that it will require some years before the grouse can increase to abundantly as formerly— considering the severe malady of previous years, which, had it continued, threatened to exterminate the grouts altogether." Buicton or A Beiron IN • Ctrunoa.—The town of Hamilton was thrown Into a state of great eloitenient on Sunday forenoon, through the perpetration of a incite deterudned sot of suicide by John Orlinstons, beadle of the parish church. Orimstone, in aooordsuos with his duties, on the Sunday morning rang the bell as usual at 9, and also at 10 o'clock, but did not return shortly after the latter hour to his own house, as he regularly did, to change his clothes, and prepare himself for his church service'. Al 11 o'clock his lOU, in his &Mena, rang the bell for the assembling of the congregation. On tire church serving being commenced the elders in attendance proceeded to the rustry•rcom with the contents of the plate oollootion.

The elders and other parties who 041110 to their imistanos also fogad that a small looking•glass, had been lateen from tire vestry by Grim. stone, and used by hint to Insure success 111 Iris design, by making the fatal gash at the proper place. His slArt sleeves were rolled up to the elbows,lllll hla troweem to the knees. All the while lire minister and congregation were kept In total ignorsnee of the horrible Nene which lied been estaeled en dimly to them. By the time of dismissal at 1 o'clock a large crowd had assembled around the ohuroh gate, and every ens Was in a state of consternation and anxiety to glean the pertioulars, There can be no doubt he muol ham been labouring under doi4rism IPS/MN/when lie committed the dreadful ad, We hare heard it mild that lie Was about to be disiniewl from the ofiloss he held in eonneetion with the 'humph, and preebytery on amount of his irregular conduct, and this inay hare weighed heavily on hie mind, He soled as grave-digger In the parish ehurellyartl, and occasionally wronglit ne a gardener.
