 Ertrauogance and Dishonesty cf CIerks.- An investigation has been recently made, at Boston, into the conduct of clerks and ap- prenticcs in consequence Of suspicion of their honesty, which was naturally excited by the responsiveness of their amusements. The disclosures produced were aPpalIlng.- One lad was convicted of having, at various times, abstracted goods from the store over that tn which he was employed, to the amount of three thousand dollars. He hadsOld them to an old. clothes dealer, at about One-third the cost. Another, whose employer was>R- gent for bank in the country, from which he received bundles of bank notes from time to time, to be passed over to one of the Bos- ton banks, had abstracted five, ten, and sOnnc- times twenty dollars at once, until an aggre- gate of from six to eight hundred dollars had been taken. The remittances of course fell short; but the fraud went undiscovered until this general investigation. Between twenty and thirty boys were detected in speculations of greater or less extent, and dismissed from their places within the neighborhood' of Kil- by-st. alone.-Morn. Herald.

 Ihe Fate of Genius.-The Springfield Re- publican states that the credit of the invention of the lever watch, for which Robert ROscal , of London procured patent, is due to Mr. Asa Spencer. who made one for his own use, while a .journeyman watch-maker at Hartford, Conn. He afterwards commenced engraving, and went to London with MT. Perkins, when Roscal having seen the watch. borrowed 1t long enough to take model, and gained cred- it, celebrity and wealth by the inventions while the true inventor, as is often the case, was thrown into obscurity and poverty. Singular Recovery cf Money.--TwO or three weeks since. foreigner named Finn, ..a.--i .i-- i- st<ei.ea sana of l money that had been left to him. Elated with his good luck, he was determined to nave irolck, and in few days he got rid or Sl1OO. What led to the fact that he was on frOlick, and had lost his money, was the following circumstance. A colored clergy man in this city advertised. just at this time, that he had been robbed ofSl8OO, con listing of one note of 5000, one of $500, and three of $lOO. and whilst the advertisement was circulating. Finn offered in payment for glass of grog SlOOO note. The grocer had heard of the clergyman's loss, and suspecting the bill to be a part of his money. had Finn brought to the police office. This examina- ton led to the fact that Finn had made way m few days with $11OO, for which he could give no account, and he was advised to adyer- tise his loss. Whilst his advertisement was circulating. some colored persons appeared at Brooklyn, and after getting something to drink. offered note of $500 in payment.- The tavern keeper pronounced the bill for. gerry, and 1t was handed about from one tO another, until it was ascertained to be a good note. The circumstance of so large bill be- ing in the possession of these colored people, made some talk, and man in Brooklyn, who had read the advertisement of money stolen, got an officer, and traced the four blacks 10 Jerico. One of the colored women becom- ing alarmed, threw the $500 out of the win dow /; it was, however, found, and the party was arrested, and brought to this city. On investigation, it turned out to be Finn's $500 bill; in state of intoxication he had given some bills to a white female in this city, who, being ignorant of the amount of them, sent U note of $1OO to grocer, to pay debt oftwelve shill'ngs. and the balance was squandereR without knowing how. One other hundred was sent to lottery office. and paid out G,r tickets, also without knowing the amount o6 the bill; and the $500 was handed by the white woman to a cOlored woman, in whose house they were, for some trifling demand. being ignorant of the amount Ofthe bill and when the colored woman was told, at Brook iiyn, the amount, she supposed the bill which had been given to her, to be a count erfeit. m this singular manner was this money hand ed about, by persons unable to read, from one to another, until it was finally taken from them, and restored to Finn its owner. s&

 It thus appears that the clergynan's loss was to Finn matter of gain, and that the stIs-
