Mr. GEORGE HADFIELD hoped that they could seedily raise 4.0001. or 6,0001. a year revenue, to carry eat the objects of the board. Mr. MORLEY said it had required 10,0001. to establish the college, 7,0001. of which they had already raised, and they yet rtquired 3,0001. more. Mr. HADFIELD maid one of the local papers had stated that they must choose between the two schemes before the country; but he begged, with great respect, to say that they would have neither. (Applause.) They would have a scheme of their own, and he regretted to find that the names of men whom he had been accustomed to venerate so soon giving up the great principle, and so completely stultifying themselves. He beggpd to be allowed to open the subserir & ion by giving a six of the 3,0001. required. ( II I eTrIAIRMAN said he should have great pleasure in joining Mr. Hadfield by giving another 6001. (Cheers.) Mr. THOMAS BARNES, of Farnworth, said ho had often admired the devotedness of Mr. liadfield to their cause, and wished he could have rivalled his usefulness. He should have much pleasure in contributing another sixth of the sum required. (Applause.) Mr. JAMES SIDEBOTTAM observed that the building in which they were assembled bad considerably exhausted tie means of • good many of those present. Ile would give 2.11. a year to the support of the college for three pars, and 1001. towards the building. (Cheers.) Mr. Milligan also gave 5001., and was Mowed by sub. emeiptions of 1001. each from Mr. Thos. Roberts, Mr. 'Thos. Potter, of Doreen, and Mr. George Leeman, of York. (Cheers.) Mr. EDWARD BAINES, of Leeds, hoped their friends mould not forget the annual subscriptious, as well as those required towards the debt.

CONFERENCE OF THE FRIENDS OF VOLUNTARY EDUCATION. Mr. HADFIELD hoped that this trifle of money would be raised first. (Laughter.) Mr. James Milne then subscribed 501. The CHAIItNIAN said they now only wanted 4001. The Rev. A. PEARCE said he had been told that this meeting would only give occasion to laugh at them, but he was njoica.l to sco their friends giving such a practical proof of the estimation in which they held their principles. (Hear, hear.) After some observations from Mr. CROULIY and Mr. Ilxiornau, Mr. W. Williams, of Huddersfield, gave 501. ; and he was followed by Mr. Armitage, who gave 251. donation and 121. 10s. subscription, and Mr. Itomney, who gave 101. A great number of donations of 101., 51., and of subscrip tions of two guineas per annum, were then made. Mr. HADFIELD said he wished to thank the gentlemen present for their great liberality : Though ho had jendarly said that this meeting would raise the money, he hei been in great doubt, and he must say he was taken by seaydee. Mr. SIDEBOTTAM—Mr. Armitage has offered t• 501. towards this object if I will give 501. towards • bed chapel. Now, I wish to know from Mr. Hadfield, as • gentleman in the legal pretension, whether, if I accept the challenge, Mr. Armitage will be absolved from the Zil. he has since promised? (Great laughter.) Mr. HADFIELD—I fear Mr. Armitage is in fur it. (Renewed laughter) Mr. ARMITAGE explained that he had promised W give 1001. to this scheme if Mr. Sidelsottam would give 501. to the chapel. To that challenge he would adhere. (Cheers.) Mr. SII)EBOTTAM would accept the challenge. (Lend sheen.) The CHAIR3LAN said they were now only 501. short of the 3,0001. Mr. DILWORTH said he would undertake to raise the 501. required. (Cheers.) The subscriptions occupied about one hoar and a half, after which The first of a series of meetings of the congre gatioualiiits of Lancashire, Yorkshire Cheshire, and Derby shire, fivourieg the promotion of e ducation through the influence of voluntary effort, was held at Manchester on Tuesday evening, in the school-room of the Rev.

The pa meat meeting w as ostensibly a conference of Sun der semi tonshers, tit will be seen by the names she,. given that a great number of other people were T i le Bev. G. W. CONDER, of Leeds, opened the pro =ile • lecture. In the opening of Isis address he wbat manned to him the est:snippet expectations aw prevelest in regard to the results to now from the edu. itedluseithe people. It was said, if the people be educated, Wale mead cease—that purgative doses of spelling, altera tive mixture of geography, and tonic mixtures of anthmetic, mega sure the diseases of society. Ito could not see the Onemsdon between the premises and the conclusion. To elect a earn end, moral means man be employed. At the very foundation of some of the schemes now put forth, the fallacy lay. No one prised more than he the colla teral beeneneo of education in elevating the people; he am* awed against such a statement of its effects as they believed te be seer the truth. They had been asked what religion bed se do with geography and sums, and why could not they teeth the one without the other? Certainly, he replied, there was no inherent difficulty ; it was quite pos sible to separate them, but they did not see why they should ; and if religion had nothing to do with the roes of three, it had something to do with the man who had to do the rule of three, and with the society of which he was a member. (Ili ar, hear.) Without either religion or the rule of three, a man might be a pickpocket ; without the former and with the latter, he might be a swindler • but with reli pion he could not be either. (Hein 13;ar.) Morality' could not be taught unless based on reli gion. If you teach a man to be moral because it will be the better fur him end for others, the man will steal directly he sees that to he for liis interest. The result of severing the religious frees the ordinary teaching must be, practically, to tell men that ri ligion s distinct from the ordinary life, end = for Sundays and holidays, and that to be • geed or clerk is the chief end of man. Because the nnitig of religions with secular education was attended with some difficulties, were they to put Oud and religion out of the way ? What were these tremendous difficulties? The sae niied prominently used—the ostensible but not the real OM —was that it must make the education of the country setts ian. He utterly denied it. Religion could be, sad war taught is the British and other schools without any sectarieniessh without teaching a single tenet peculiar to any sect. But tbe real uhjection to religious education was this, that if the:a lien was to be both governmental and religious, Reis Was admitting the principle of a state establishment of religion. Ili not believe the voluntaryist' were the d o rabic minority which they had been represented e. laing. Their forces did not appear. Their weakest by:IMM were uppermost. A government measure *teal, no doubt to a great extent, swamp them; thiy must, therefore, bestir themselves. They most, at PR n t controvert and contend—at least, to the extent of fi ailing themselves. In every district they must have a committee in direct coraniunication with the central board, and must institute a syst.matie collection of funds. The keture,of which the above is a skeleton, was throughout smeastiP and witty, and received frequent applause. The Bev. A. Fraser, of Pendleton, and the Rev. A. FILMS, of Blackburn, moved the following resolution : " That this in, eting, composed for the most part of persons who are practically acquainted with the working of the Sunday school system, u deeply convinced that its efficiency will he greatly increased by she multiplication of daily "dia. conducted on Christie& pdeolnies, sad ainsinell s t T o t ar c rode as those contemplead by the fowl cruets of Subbathmhed hisehms wi r2 en* therefore deprecate the intredseden of ate, MOW Mart tory scheme of daily education as lisaU s t= . ways to couuteract the design of net M the opinion of this meeting it dile highest int' Penance that the education of the young yeeple of this eour.:l should include Instraetien in the baths of the t religion, as preineinestly nalminted s under the divine bleseing. to read= them vaterble members of so tktS, and to lay the foundeden of their temporal std eternal wellbeing. That this meeting, therefore, 6 , 2" ally protests against the excision of religion from the dey-schools of this country, and at the same time, on the round of well known noneonfensiM principles, it equally Protests against provision being mob for religious teaching by legislative authority and ry taxation. That thi- 4 westing, distinctly theduty of Christians sod patriots to promote the edam of the people on sight principles, embraces as a privilege the opportunity of xalhor in this good work, and earnestly commends the plans of floe tottgregational board of edneauon to the liberal sup- Pon of its own community." _Mr. T. E. JOHNSON, • member of the congregational barrelin London, supp orted the resolution. Aft, r some Littl e diseipsion, it was carried, oaly one oppo- Mat holding up his band. The Rev. 0. SMITH proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Cooler for his lecture, which was carried with applause. The hey. Mr. l'Alt::iONS, of York, moved a simi lar vote to the chairman. Shortly afterwards the meeting terated. ~lettliy morning a general conference of the members and friends of the board from Lancashire, Cheshire, Derby s6trc, and Yorkshire was held. Thai proceedings were too roach of a contilential nature to be fully reported, and we 1 91 1 011_1/ give the outline of the besiness. Li , • MORLEY, w h o owing the Twocee di n ge, said the great jeopardy in which their peMdgle was at present nts '""tionahly placed stave to tots =sente as more than ordi nt el solemn and impo - rtant chant/Am lie wee much afraid mat the legislature would adopt we ee ether of the schemes t, "11 , 41 ' w .' the country. But, slum& the ndat &Wm" against him, In mod imbed that it was their 4ut T to besita b i t, we them It eugg with God's help, is their mese. be attended, no clout. with a gnat oissl -- --- The Rev. U. R. REYNOLDS, A.M., of Leeds, read a paper on the object of the Conference, to consider how they could best contribute efficiently to the advancement of education on the best principles. -• • • e • Mr. HADFIELD was delighted to see such a splendid meeting. It would be no discouragement to him if he was told that they were fighting in a minority. But he did not despair that on this question, as well as many others • where be had fought with minorities, the last battle would , be determined on their side. (Hear, hear.) Ho regretted that some of their leaders had left them, and were to be found in the company of bishops and dignitaries of the church. Ile would advise them, above all things, to keep out of bad company. The worst of getting into the com pany of bishops was, that it could only be done at a sacri fice, and ho was not prepared to make sacrifices for such a privilege. (Cheers.) lie concluded by moving:—" That this meeting is convinced that the efficient training of a body of pious and earnest teachers—the promulgation, on all suitable occasions, in the pulpit, on the platform, and by the press, of right views as to parental duty and responsibility iu reference to the education of the young— the adoption of all suitable expedients experience may suggest to render elementary schools more self-sustaining— the formation of a sustentation fund to originate and aid schools in destitute neighbourhoods—would enable the con gregational body easily to sustain an effort honourable to it self as a religious community, and contribute very effici ently to the advancement of education on the best principles. That this meeting has heard with much satisfaction the statement of Mr. Samuel Morley, in reference to the past operations and present position of the Congregational Board of Education; and, while expressing unabated confidence in the zeal and wisdom of its directors, earnestly commends this institution to the sympathy and aid of congregational ists ; and, in accordance with the resolution passed at the conference held in London, urges a general organisation of the denomination for its more adequate support." Mr. T. BARNES seconded the motion. The Rev. Mr. NEWNS, of Macclesfield, observed that Lord Brougham had made a speech in which he said, if the people were taxed for education it would be a means of making it most unpopular, and retard its progress. He thought they ought by no means to give up the religious element of education. Mr. SIDEBOTTAM thought the questions of noncon formity should be more fully put forth from the pulpit than they had been. They were in a lamentable state in Man chester as regarded the press. Ile wished they bad more such papers as the Leeds Mercury, and that they could have some branch publication in connexion with it. If that could not be done, it would be well to establish some Inex pensive system of circulating the papers and publications , of the board there. A good deal of discussion took plus as to the propriety of inviting three of the ministers who had joined tie other educational schemes to be present. r Mr. MORLEY explained that they had set bees lodaded in the invitations, from their knowstakisatetienunarTrore • sent conference. It was unmis la London that they were opposed to say tweeting whatever being held for the present purpose is Kaleheetet. ' The resolution was then put Slid metal unanimously ; end, at half-past two o'clock, the gesdams when Presslat ad ' to dinner. They had not resumed lattialme iconic !, our report was despatched. IRELAND. Drams. Sart. 17. His Excellency, Mr. Abbot Lawrence, and family, have set out from Dublin for the west of Ireland. Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P., and other protestant gentlemen, acted as collectors at the Roman catholic chapel of Bangor, near Belfast, on the occasion of that edifice being consecrated by the Right Rev. Dr. Denoir, on Sunday last. Mr. Joseph Bewley, a member of the Society of Friends, and one of the most active members of the Relief society during the famine year, died suddenly on Monday last, while oat walking in the neigh bourhood of Castlewellan. READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office in Royal Exchange•buildings, City. Mr. Alderman SALomoNe preeided on the occasion. The report was read to the meeting, a copy of which ap peared in the E.eprem of yesterday. The CHAIRMAN said he did not know that he had any thing particular to mention, but be should be happy to answer any question. The dividend now proposed would amount to 9s. Dd. per share. The expenses of the last half rear amounted to only 24. a share, =dna. for income tax. By making the dividend Os. 91. they would receive a little over five per cent. The amount of the last half-year's ex penses had been larger on account of the directors having given the late secretary a gratuity of 2001. on his leaving the establishment. The motion for the adoption of the report was then se minded, and it was agreed to. Kr. POLLARD Nada was stated that the South-Eastern Oempiay meant to apply to parliament. What lie wished w Mom was, whether it would be attended with expense o(aay sort to this company The CHAIRMAN said he bad no official communica tion on the subject. It was stated that the South-Eastern Company should apply within two years for an act to make the amalgamation between that and the Reading and Reigate Company complete, which he thought would be to the mutual benefit of both c mapanies. The expense of the act would be thrown on the South-Eastern Company. (Ikar, hear.) A PROPRIETOR asked in what position they were in respect to the trial now in Chancery ? The CHAIRMAN replied that a gentleman named Thomson had, in consequence of some dispute with the South Eastern board, thought fit to carry them into Chan cery, for the purpose of trying if the lease betwixt this and the South Eastern Company were legal. The solicitor of Mr. Thomson had applied for this company to drop the suit, which they had no objection to do, so us to cave liti gation. (Hear, hear.) He hoped it might also be settled amicably between that gentleman and the South Eastern Company. Mr. OASKELL alluded to the bill of the South Eastern Company, and should have liked to see that document. The question was, were they bound to become preferential shareholders by that agreement ? Ile hoped the solicitor would admit that there was a great difference between cre ditors and preferential shareholders. The CHAIRMAN acid he would rather be a preferential shareholder. It would be time enough for them to inter fere when they saw the South Eastern Company going to issue fresh preference shares. (Ikar, bear.) The soucrrOlt said in case the South Eastern Com pany were insolvent as lessors, the shareholders of this com pany being their creditors, would be satisfied before any preferential dividends were paid ; of that he had no doubt whatever. (Hear.) Mr. LEVI observed that the security of the South- Eastern Company was as good as the Rank of England. Ile had always o,iposed this company being tacked on to the South Eastern Company, but it was done by the directors on both sides. The South Eastern Company he had no doubt would stick to their bargain, though a bad one for the South Eastern shareholders. (Hear, hear ) Mr. GASKELL wished to know distinctly whether the shareholders of this company would be able to inspect that bill of the South Eastern Company before they went to parliament. The CHAIRMAN said they should sec it, undoubtedly. The dividend of 9s. 91. per share was then agreed to unanimously. Alter some further discussion, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, when the meeting adjourned. AND COLERAINE HeILWAT.--The works on this line are progressing rapidly, and are expected to be completed about November. It has been extended s this week, beyond the town of Newtonlitnavady, where the station will be erected, at a place called Ballyclose, within a short distance of rho main street of that thriving town. $ From thence the route of the line passes through Magilli gao, and on by Downhill, along the level of the strand, close to the sea, and will, when completed, afford travellers beautiful and picturesque view, as the entire lino from Derry to Coleraine presents scenery which, for beauty and variety, could not be surpassed, for the same distance, on ant railway perhaps in Europe.—Cokraine Chronick. CRIIIINAL STATISTICS OF TUE COUNTY OF EDIN BURG 11.-3dr. List has issued his annual tables, showing the number of persons reported to and by the Edinburgh county police, with the offences, sentences, residences, ages, and education of the offenders,the number summoned and fined for road offences, and the number challenged for acts of vagrancy.

The first table shows the number of mules and females tried during the year for offetres committed within the county of Edin burgh. The total number of persons convicted at the High Court, the Sheriff Summary and Jury Court, and the Justice of Peace Courts at Edinburgh and Dalkeith, was 604-502 males and 102 females.

Another table gives the amount of property stolen in the county, reported to the County Police, to lie 1951. lls. 2d., of which the value of 501. Is. was recovered. An additional table gives some par tial statistics of the population, the number of schools and scholars, the number of inns and public-houses, &c., in the various landward parishes of the county.—EdiebergA Courant. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE lllTEL—Yesterday morning, before daybreak, as an empty coal barge was floating down the river with the ebbing tide, it struck the centre pier of Blackfriars-bridge, and sank. Three men, who were ten on board just before, went down with the vessel, and, although their cries were heard from the shore, they perished before any one could render them assistance. PRIVATE BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday parliamentary return was printed, from which it appears that in the late session 217 private bills were introduced; the number brought from the Lords was 28. Of the bills 179 received the royal assent.

RAY. —In MONEY MARKET. lIIIS D.Y. Twc o'CLoex. There has been very little movement in the Consol market to day, and flatness is the chief characteristic. Almost the only business of a character calculated to support prices, was the usual investment of the government broker, who took a parcel of Consols at 96; and with the completion of this operation, combined with the receipt of lower prices from the Paris Bourse, sellers have come forward, and the quotation is now 1 more than it left off yesterday. The details published in a second edition of the Daily . News relative to the progress of the gold dis coveries in Australia have been perused with great interest, and further accounts arc eagerly looked for. Surprise is expressed, considering the well known enterprising spirit of the colonists, that we have not as yet received advises of more extensive explorations having been attempted in the range of the Blue Mountains and tho space intersected by the tributaries of the Murray River, the eslent of the gold-field being the all-important question demanding solution, as the results of the discovery can then be more accurately estimated. Consols arc now quoted 931 to for money, and 95 to 96 for the 14th Oct., with a rather flat ap pearance. The business report of the day comprises: Three per Cent. Consols, 94, 96, 93 ; ditto for ac count, 96. India Stock, 2614. Batik Stock is shut, and there are no transactions for the account. A report of the proceedings at the meeting to-day, which were as expected, will be found in another column. Exchequer Bills remain quiet at 445. to 475. prcm. ; India Bonds, under 1,0001., mark 5Us. prem. Business in the foreign investments is exceedingly limited, and prices present little change. In Spanish nothing is doing. Mexican Bonds arc flat ter. A few months ago the tendency of the opera tions in Russian Stocks was decidedly in the way of purchases, as noticed by us from time to time, and the price was corre spondingly enhanced; but of late sales have been steadily coming in, and it is suspected that a handsome profit will have been realised by some leading moneyed men, although the stock of this state has never been looked upon as a medium of speculation. Whilst money was cheap, and consequently difficult of employment, the parties in question have been receiving a liberal dividend, and now that there is a prospect of obtain ing more remunerative employment for capital, they quietly withdraw their funds, and pocket the ifferenee in price, which, since the commence ment of the movement, has been consider able. Sales have been effected to-day in the under mentioned stocks : Mexican Bonds, 261, 1. Portu guese Four per Cents, Russian Five per Cents., 111; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011, Sar dinian Scrip, 31 dis. Spanish 'fhtee per Cents., 37. The traffic returns of most lines of railway for the last week are now known, and though the highest figures of the season arc of course not main tained, the comparison with the corresponding period of last year remains nearly as favour able as ever, all the chief lines showing an in crease, and in many instances a very considerable one. The London and North-Western return is 58,6501., against 40,705/. in the corresponding week of last year, showing an increase of 11,9431. ; the:‘lidland, 21,9271.,again5t 24,7391.—increase 180/. ; the Lan. and York., 18,0181., against 13,92:I1.—increase, 2,005/.; the London and South Western, 18,301/, against 13,3261.—increase, 4,9751. • the Great Western, 25,6081., against 19,006 1-increase 6,6021. ; the York and North Midland, 9,489!., against 9,247/. — increase, 212/. ; the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 14,957/. against 13,708 L increase, 1,219/. ; the Great Northern, 11,9071. against 6,650/.—increase, 5,2571.; the North Staffordshire, 3,305/. against 6,273 l.—increase, 32/. During the year a considerable change has taken place in the financial condition of several of the countries the securities of which are negotiated in this market, and on account of the complication of details it becomes difficult for the public, or their advisers, the brokers, to keep themselves familiar with each class of the numerous bonds and stocks. An inconvenience has therefore been lately felt, to meet which Mr. D. Moricr Evans has brought out a six teenth edition of " Fortune's Epitome," which in cludes all the new arrangements of the old debts, as well as the conditions on which the new stocks are introduced. Nothing, perhaps, shows more com pletely how necessary such books are, than the fact that during the short time which the publication of this edition occupied another new arrangement has to be chronicled in Guatemala Bonds, and new ma terial is being constantly supplied by current finan cial events. _ . In Bank shares little is at present doing. The sales of the week comprise : London Joint Stock ( ; 101. paid), at 181.1, 1; London and Westminster (201. paid), 291 Provincial of Ireland (25/. paid), 421; South Australia (251. paid), 26 ; Union of Aus tralia (251. paid), 352, 2; Union of London (10!. paid), 14/, 4, 1. In bock shares London Stock has again attained a higher figure, and St. Katharine Stock is very firm, others being steady at former rates. Commer cial Stock is quoted 84 ; East and West India, 142 ; London, 115, 1141 ; St. Katharine, 781, 70; South ampton, 171. Prices of steamboat shares arc stationary, with a very quiet business. Peninsular and Oriental shares are worth 64 ; ditto New (51. paid), 91 Royal Mail Steam, 80 to 1. The market for Insurance shares has been gene rally steadier this week, and prices are Letter sup ported. The chief change in quotations is a rise in Phoenix shares. The following are the present quota tions of the market:—Albion, 80 ; Alliance, British and Foreign, 211 ; ditto, Marine, 40 ; Atlas, 161, British Commercial, 61 ; Church of Eng land, 21, 3 ; Clerical, Medical, and General Lite, 25 ; County, 84 ; Crown, 1$ ; Eagle, 8Z ; Equity and Law, 41, ; English and Scottish Law Life, 22 ; European Life, Ilj ; General, 51 ; Globe, 132 b 133 ; Guardian, 54 ; Imperia Fire, 245 ; Imperial Life, 18 Indemnity . - Marine, 501 ; Law Fire, 21. 18s. cx ' die.; Law Life, 481• Legal and General Life, 42 • London Fire, 19 ; London Ship, 19; Marine, 151; Medical, Invalid, and General Life, 21; Monarch, 1 ex div. ; National Loan Fund, 21; Pelican, 38; l'imenix, 158; Professional Life, /, ; Provi dent Life, 30; Rock Life, 02; Royal Exchange, 2201, 2211; Sun Fire, 209; ditto, Life, 48; United King dom, 4 ; Victoria Life, 5,5/.

CiliaOn op Fnnlll3.—Brojantio Henry Percy Gri,rsors, York-street, Kingstown, was brought up in custody before Mr. Stronge, at the College-street Police-office, on Tues day, having been arrested rat a warrant charging him with embezzling and feloniously converting to his own use an English post-hill for 1501, which had been outrustaa to Lira On the 13th of May last, in his capacity of clerk in the Royal Dank of Ireland, Foster-place. The warrant was grounded on the information which had been lodged in the above poiice-office on the 13th instant by Mr. Charles Copland, one of the public officers and managers of the leuik. The substance of it embodied the undermentioned facts. Ou the 13th May last certain bills of exchange were entrusted to the prisoner for the purpose of entering them in the register book of the bank, that being part of his duty; when duly entered they were to be returned to Mr. Copland in his capacity of manager. Amongst those given to Gricrson for the above purpose, was an English poet-bill for 1301., which was ant entered by him, but as he (Mr. Copland) believed, was wilfully and fraudulently abstracted by him, and that he in totting up the entire amount of the bills of the day, made a false tot thereof, increasing the amount by 1501. Mr. John A. Curran. with Mr. Orpcn as solicitor, ap peared for the book. The prisoner had no legal adviser. Mr. Charles Copland was examined, and deposed that he was one of the managers of the ltoyal Bank in which the prisoner was a clerk. It was a portion of the duty of the latter to enter bills of exchange in a register-book for that purpose, and then deliver them up to hint or the accountant to be checked. The witness having been desired to examine the registry book, did so, and stated that it was in the handwriting of the prisoner, and that all the entries and the tot of the 13th May were likewise in his handwriting. Ile also stated that he had totted up the column and found it incorrect ; it was too much by 1501. That was the book in which the bills were to he checked. There was no entry therein en the 13th of May of a bank pest bill for 1501. Ile understood that on that day or the day previous an English post bill for 1501. had been paid into the bank. To Mr. Strange—Did not know that of his own know ledge. The docket now handed him was in the handwriting of Mr. John l'owell, accountant of the bank. It purported to give authority to Grievant to enter the sum of 1071. 182. 11.141., composed of five dithirent items, as bills, notes, &e., one of which bears date the 13th May. This it was the duty of the priaouer to have entered, but there was no such entry. Mr. John Powell was then examined, and stated that that was the daily abstract book, which comprised all the busi ness of the day, and he then pointed out to Mr. Strong° where the entry of 1501. was deficient, and went on to state that he get five bills from the cashier, which it was his ditty to hand over to Grierson to be entered. Ile invariably gave him the bills fur entry. At three o'clock in the day ho handed them over to him. lie found that there were only four of the bills entered, the filth bcinp for a sum of 1301. was omitted. Ile also found that the tots were made to :Ce, and to appear as if the 130 were really entered, so he might reckon with the cashier, thus preventing discovery at the time. If the tots were nut made to agree, the deficiency would have been discovered at once. Witness in reply to a question put by the prisoner as to whether he could swear to having given him the VAL bill, stated that he could positively swear that he got five bills from the cashier, which he pinned t-gether and placed un der a weight with whatever other bills he might have in the office, and these he handed over to Griersun at three o'clock; the others were entered, but the fifth was not. The prisoner asked Mr. Copland whether to his know ledge be (Grievant) had not been frequ.ntly in the habit of making tots which were erroneous ; this tact could be proved ou reference to the haul; books.
