In the corporation records of Leicester, there is still preserved a story curiously illustrative of the darkness aud precaution of Richatd’s character. Among his camp baggage it was his custom to carry a cumber some wooden bedstead, which he averred was the only couch he could sleep in ; lmt in which he contrived to have a secret receptacle for treitsv lire, so that it was concealed tfilder' :■ weight of limber. After Bosworth Field the loops ol Henry pillaged Leicester; but the royal lied was neglected by every plunderer as use- less lumber. Thu owner ot the house afterwards discovering the hoard, be came suddenly rich, wAbout any visi ble cause. He bought land, and ut length became Mayor of Leicester. Many years allerwards bis widow, who had been left in great affluence, was assassinated by her servant, who had been privy to the affair; ->nd at the trial ot this culprit aud her ac complices the whole transact on came to light. Concerning this bid, a public print of 1830states that "about half a century since, the relic was purchased by a furui ure broker in Leicester, who slept in it tor many years, anil showed it to the curious; it continues in as good condition ap parently as when u-ed by King Richard, being formed ol oak, ami having a high polish. The daughter ol the broker having married one Babington, of Kolhley, near Lei cester, the bestead was removed to Babing'.ou’s horse, where it is still preserved ’ STRANGE DISCOIX1UES IX A BANK.

Finally, clerk number one, as we shall call him, was requested one morning to sup into the manager’s c-fin-e. Presenting himself there, he was asked how long it would take him to prepare lor a journey to California. He wished to know where California was, ami how long he should be re quired to stay there He wasinformed ot the locality of Lin- hitherto unknown land, and that his residence there would be indefinite, and to lake time to c uisider before answering Pon dering awhile ^e replied that he should require a week to pack up and pay larewell to his friends. ’Very well,’ said the head of the house, you will be informed should we decide on sending you,’ and so dismissed him. Clerk number two was then sent for, and the same questions and answers ensuing, asked fbr three days. He also, in like manner, was dismissed, ami number three snmtnoned. Ou being questioned a< to the time he required to prepare for the long jour ney, his reply was, T am ready now.’ ‘Very well,’ again replied the hanker, ‘to-morrow you sail for San Francisco, w here you will be junior partuer in the house we are about to open there.’ | The clerk who was thus ready at a j “I’ve plowed and mowed this dear old l>rm moment’s notice to take a journey to „ Till uAt a rod but what I know; the.other side of the world was T Mr. Julius May, and thus he laid the foun dation of the handsome fortune which he now so thoroughly enjoys.
