An unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the Glasgow Union Bank, established at Thornhill, on Sunday last, during church time.

The parties, we understand, displayed great ingenuity in effecting an entrance; but as teh safe was fortunately inaccessible, they were forced to content themselves by opening desks, and carrying off the paltry sum of £3.

As our very active superintendent of the rural police, Mr. JONES, has been placed on alert, with all men under him, guided by the council's and knowledge of Procurator - Fiscal, it is exceedingly probable that the offenders will be traced and apprehended; but in the meantime, let all bankers be on their guard, lest a deputation from the "swell mob" of London should again be in Scotland.
