A gentleman who arrived in this City yesterday from Falmouth, has brought intelligence that Mr. James Wilson, who was reported as having very mysteriously disappeared, and supposed to have been murdered or lost in the woods near Albert Town, has absconded with a large sum of money belonging to the Trelawny Savings Bank, of which he was Secretary. The rumour having spread about the disappearance of Mr. Wilson, a tailor in the town stated that he recently made up warm clothing for him, and a wallet to contain money and thereupon suspicion was aroused, and considerable excitement and anxiety was manifested to learn the state of the Savings Bank. The Custos, the Hon. Robert Nunes, proceeded to break open the Iron chest in the office, and discovered a paper in the hand-writing of Wilson, which Mr. Nunes read to the crowd outside, to the effect, that he had lost £8,000 belonging to the Bank, in trading with the money; that his life was insured for £4,000, which would go in part payment of the sum due the Bank; and that it was useless to look for the Bank Books, as they would never be found. The excitement increased at the reading of this paper, and the Town was in great commotion. Nothing had transpired to obtain a clue to the defalcations, which could only have occurred through Mr. Wilson receiving money from depositors, and not entering the items. Mr. Wilson kept several places of business in the Town, and was the Post Master of Falmouth.

The Times of the 22^nd May contains the name of Mr. Charles Augustus Robinson, son of C. A. Robinson, Esq., of this City, among the gentlemen who had undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma and been admitted Members of the Royal College of Surgeons of London on the 21^st May. We congratulate our countryman in his success. Mr. Robinson, if he cast his lost among us, will find a large field of operation, as the staff of medical men in the country is diminishing daily, so much so that the subject must soon occupy the attention of the Government. Natives of the island should be encouraged, in every way possible, to remain in it when they qualify ....
