To the midst of traffic, which at that time of the day is unusually heavy along · Queen's Rd, and in front of a number of pedestrians, a brush army officer, who arrived with the resefs for this station the other day, by the transport Sicilia, had a novel experience while passing the Clock Tower at about one o'clock to-day. The officer, we understand, belongs to the 3rd Middlesex Regiment, and residës with some friends at the Peak.

'This morning, he came to town to make some purchases and proceeded from shop to shop in quest of the ar icles he wanted, paying for them from a roll of banknotes, which he kept in the top pocket of his coat-a very handy place, be co-sidered, when constant payments had to be male. Perhaps it might as well be mentioned bera that the officer was in multi. It was very close on one o'clock when he left the last shop. Rickshas were bustling up and dwn the load and the sidewalks were charged with people. As the officer left the shop, a coolie had seen, through the The plaintiff, examined, said he was a bar-
