In its sitting of this day the Second Chamber (at Darmstadt. on the sth) of the States adopted the fol lowing propositions relative to the ZoUvercia " The Chamber deeleres that the (motion of the trea ties of the 6th of April (the coalition of Darmstadt) menaces the material well-being of the matey, and compromises the mimeses of the Zclirerein." The Chacobere invite the government to us amp means in its power to re-organise the &Mamie. with Prnsasan and the other Mates of Northern Germany, to obtain the sup pression of the deferential duties and Miler mamma eon• ditione, and to conclude a commercial sad eutoms treaty with Austria only after the renewal of the Zollverein. A morning paper lays: Ws learn from Vienna that an English officer has been insulted by so officer in the Austrian service. We have received no particulars, bat are informed that Lord West. moreland has thought it necessary to demand redress. We hope, fee the character af the Austrian service, that this statement will be modified by later Intelligence. ITALY. TUSCANY. OUERRAZZII3 EXPLANATION. In the sitting of the 29th ult. of the Ito) al Court at Florence, Guerraui's examination was continued, and an opportunity offered him of explaining his plan respecting the restoration of the monarchy in Tuscany. He first contended that the convocation of a Tuscan Assembly, elected by universal suffrage, was a necessary consequence of the Grand Duke's departure ; so that the abolition of the chambers by the provisional government was, in fact, a mere matter of form, since it was a right, on account of the absence of the sovereign. In support of this view he pointed to the proceedings of the British parliament at the time when James 11. left the throne secant. The provisional goveinment felt, he said, the neces sity of giving Tuscany a stable form of government. Now as the faction then in power declared that it acknowledged no other authority save that which emanated from the people, there was no choice but to have recourse to universal suffrage, to which the grand duke owed the extension of his territory by the eggreption of the provinces of Massa, Carrara, Lunigtans, and Garfagnana. He therefore thought it could not be displeasing to the grand duke to re turn to his throne by the unanimous vote of his subjects, as that would have been an evident proof of true attachment to his person and dynasty. The elections, therefore, took place simultaneously for the Tuscan Legislative Assembly and for the Italian Constituent Assembly, the former of which was to conduct the ordinary business of the country, and the latter was to meet at Rome and to decide upon the form of government. By these concessions he hoped to gain time and suc ceed in overreaching the dominant party. But the impatience of the republicans defeated his plans. On the 18th of February, a tumultuous crowd, headed by Musini, poured into the Piazza del Gran Duca, and leedly sailed for the proclamation of the repub lic. Mufti bimeW Nearly driven to the last ex tramity,he bad resumes to a stratagem, and answered that, sums the Teems people wanted the republic, they mat he pes to sapped it, and that, cense qamitip, it two tiesesN used men appeared on the marrow reedy to fight for the republic, it should then be daimed. It being impossible to fulfil this aset, and no two thousand men having made ask appearance, the republic was not But now he had lost the confi enrtellinerthe republicans ; he therefore quitted Fkamessi on his return he found that Montanelli had a preliminary agreement with M. an envoy from Rome, for the unification of the Roman States with Tuscany. He refused to Join in this plan. After the opening of the Tense Assembly, he took particulur care to avoid any ex planations which might bind him for the future, and prevent him from executing his plan of the re storation of a constitutional monarchy, as soon as a favourable opportunity should offer. Taking advantage of a short absence of Montanelli and Muriel from Florence, he, by a decree of the 6th of March, transformed the Legisla tive Assembly of Tuscany into a constituent one, which was almost entirely composed of Tuscans. The republicans were furious at this decree, the drift of which could not escape them. Montanelli was highly displeased at it, because it was a mortal blow to the Italian Constituent Assembly. But a moment arrived after the battle of Novara, when he could explain his views to Montanelli, which the latter, however, did not approve of, but quitted Florence, and even Tuscany. An unforeseen cir cumstance hastened the crisis, and deprived him of the merit of restoring the constitutional throne in Tuscany._ was After these statements, the sitting ousPend•d• Advice ham loth mervid CiU gM from Taaris of as elliourit te he was basting, M, Immo &pommeled the errs* osier pretence et oreeentir s petition. rah be sernsed to r oes.

I` . - THE KAFFIR WAR. - • The Oriental Company's steamer Haddiagtou u nwed yesterdat Southampton from India, Mauri tius, and the Cape. She has come home for repairs. She left the Cape on the 20th of August, and bring; news several days later in date than that received the last mail. Some excitement was created in Nate: by the cir culation of a statement that coal of excellent quality had been discovered on the coast leads o f that ca l anT . The Natal limes of Feb. 23, thus refers to the matter : The several parties have returned from their visits of inspection. Some alarm that the oosl is partially bitu minous ; others, that it is purely anthracite ; but all concur in reporting its excellence as a fumes coal, of which daily evident* is nnw furnished in the forge at Compensation. With respect to quantity, all that is as yet ascertained is the fact that a small cavern or honey in the cliff, extending beneath the seratum of coal, shows a thickening of the seam as far as it can be observed, namely, for about 15 feet inwards, from the face of the cliff ; and Kaffir' residing in the neighbourhood affirm that strata of much greater thickness are visible some distance further along the coast. A number of visitors—and more than use nautical man, besides surveyors and a civil engineer —con cur in the belief that the bey is safe and accessible. The eeneurrent result of the observations of the gentlemen ofßeially deputed on this mission of inquiry is that all the indication are hopeful. Before any ',tansies practical operations, it is essential that accurate givelogieal and hy drographial surveys should be initituted ; and from what we have heard, we shall be greatly mistaken and disap pointed if competent parties us not commissioned to under take this work without delay. _ _ The following government notice has been pub. liaised by command of the Lient..Governor : Surveyor-General's Office, 21st July. 1862. Sir,—l have the honour to state that, in compliance with the directions of his Honour the Llentenant.Oovernor, issued in consequence of a discovery—for the communica tion of which we are indebted to Robert Dickson. Esq , agent for Messrs. Chiappini and Co., of Cape Town—l have inspected the indications of coal on the coast, near Com pensation, the property of E. Morewood, Esq., about 40 miles from D'Ur ba n. In this inspection, I have availed my self of the valuable assistance of Messrs. Madigan and Turner. The vein of coal shows itself on the side of the cliffs over hanging the sea ; it is a distinct and very remarkable feature. The outer crust of the coal, exposed as it has been for ages to the action of the sir, is very difficult to kindle; at the depth of a few inches this disadvantage sensibly dimin ishes. I have seen the coal need in a smithy at Compensa tion, where every process of heating and welding iron is performed with the greatest facility. The stratum of coal and the cliff is not more than about two feet in breadth— sod under several superincumhent strata of clay, slate, sandstone, Ste. This at once forbids the hope of working it with advantage in the immediate neighbourhood of the coast. At the entrance of a small cave, however, the stratum of coal is seen to dip inland, and with a sensible in crease in its breath. It is therefore probable that at some distance inland the vein may be of sufficient breadth to be profitably worked ; and it is still more probable that below the first vein a second more copious and of superior quality may be found. But this favourable conjecture requires corroboration by boring, before the discovery of coal near the coast can be pronounced important. I have made arrangements for the convance of six waggon loads of coal to the custom-house at D' Urban, in order that the officers of the steamer, now daily expected, may have it in their power to test its quality and value for steam navi gation.—l have the honour, ite., Joust Bran, Acting Surveyor-General. The Honourable the Acting See. to Government, Pietermaritsburg. - - According to the Customs return of the Port of Natal for the quarter ending July 6 last, the follow ing are the particulars of the exports and imports at that colony: _ IMPORT/.

A settlement or military post at the mouth of the Kei, or any of the intermediate riven to the Umxinnooboo, would effectually bridle these tribes ' and would be the most politic measure in mute:ion with this country the government could adopt. Report reached us yesterday, by way of King William's Town, of a smart and sucenstul affair between the Kaffir' and the division under the commend of Colonel Michel, on its march to the Kei. The probabilities are all in favour of such en encounter ; the well-known gallantry of Michel, and the tried pluck of his men, lead us to expect that in their march they would look out for the enemy, and that if fallen in with a good account would be given of him. At present • ,;oed deal is leR to conjecture, and to the vague limit. of Kaffir report, an given in the fol lowing extracts: " August 7.—A report was brought in by some Kahn on Friday, purporting ths.t Colonel Michel bad fallen in with and engaged the Kithira on this side of the Kei. Aa cording to the report here, there were a good many Kaffir' killed. Colonel Michel appears to have attacked them in three divisions, the mounted men forming oue. It is said he took some cattle from the enemy." Another hand writes: "August 7.—lnformation has reached this (King William's) town, that Captain Dedham, Lieut. Lucas, and Dr. Wordsworth, were fired at a few days ago near Fort Pato and that Lieut. Lucas's h o r se was wounded. Notice has been given to Pato that his people will be held accountable for these outrages, an they must either be committed by them, or they must be in collusion with the enemy. The repose the hostile Katfirs have enjoyed en long ia no doubt the cause of this and other previous outrage.. It is affirmed that the enemy are con stantly passing and repealing from the Waterkloof and Ful ler's Hoek, and it is quite clear that the impunity enjoyed will he attributed, not to any good will on our part, but to inability effectually to iuterrupt them. The friendly chiefs openly say they cannot understand why the English allow the rebel flottentota to keep the mountains, our why the troops do not attempt to drive out blacomo. "A report has Just come in that the rebel Hottentots in three bodice have moved into the colony—it is said in the direction of the Kowie. Another report is that Colonel Michel, on hie march to the Kei, attacked Vosani's and killed seven." The Frontier Times, under date August 5, King William's Town, says:— Knee WILLIAM'S TOWN, Avo. b.—There is little news of consequence here. Some seventy of the Port Peddle Fingoes stationed at the Tiunacha Post have returned to Fort Peddie, taking with them their arms and ammunition, on the plea that their term of service had expired. I cannot say how true this is. I hear that Capt. Rawatorne, of Arm strong's Horse, Lieut. Lucas, and Dr. Wentworth were fired upon by the enemy near Fort I'ato. Lieut. Lucas's borne was wounded on this occasion. l'ato, I understand, has notice that ho is expected to restrain these outrages. There has been very little fighting of late at the Waterkloof setup, and the enemy is continually passing and rep►ssing into Fuller's lloek from Waterkloof. The friendly chicle wonder at our tactics and that we do not make more of our military strength than we do." Another letter from the same place, dated 7th August, states Three parties of rebel Hottentots have moved into the colony, it is reported in the direction of the Kowie. There is a native rumour here that Col. Michel's division on his way to join the governor, has attacked Vo sani's K an, la and killed seven. The Styx bee arrived at But London with various detachments of the regiments serving in this country." We are informed that bands of the enemy have again taken up their quarters in the Fish River Bush, their tires having been seen. Two parties of the enemy, we are also informed, were lately seen at Grams Ridge by a petrol from Fort Brown, one of which was returning to the bush with a drove of cattle. Some steps should at once be taken to hunt oat these marauders, who are else likely to lay the whole district under contribution. Atte. 6.—1 think that we shall be troubled a good deal with the Kaffir's, as they are setting fire to the grass all round us, so that what cattle are about here will have to go far to feed, which will enable the enemy to get off with them some distance before the alarm can be given. The Kaftra are still very numerous in Waterkloof. Mr. Lake man went out the other night to lay wait for the enemy, sad to get a lot of their cattle, but they beat him home faster than he fancied ; they came so close that the big guns played upon them. I bear that two of the brave leather men got wounded. FOIT BEAUFORT, ACCIIIST 6.—lt was quite plaiting to see so many of the burghers turn out; and they were all in such good spirits that the town had a very cheerful appearance. A party left here about three o'clock in the afternoon, but returned soon after dark to obtain a span of oxen, in the place of one span which the Kaffir, had unfortunately succeeded in taking from them, for which they paid nearly BW. They were followed by a party of the gallant burghers nearly into the Waterkloof, but without recapturing any of them. _ . _ Extract of a letter from Fort Beaufort, Aug. 10: " Dur ing the past week, the Kaffir* have stolen six spans of oxen without having a single shot fired at them, one belonging to Mr. Sparks, and another to Mr. Garder, were taken with great deliberation within sight of an escort of the 74th, who were not more than 200 yards in front of the oxen. The leader wee captured along with the oxen, but has since got back. The value of these two spans is 1601., and a great gain to the enemy besides. Oxen are very scarce and dear here • 801. were given for a span to supply the plus of those stolen from the Graham's Town burghers. WHITTLURA, Auo. 6.—We reached this post this even ing after a very tedious journey, our progress having been greatly retarded by the inefficient state of one of our spans of oxen. After leaving Bland's Poet, the weather became bitterly cold, and as the division was obliged, for the sake of the oxen, to travel by night, the change, after so many fine warm days, win felt severely. It will take ua three days more to reach the Imvani, and we shall probably escort supplies to the Goveruor's camp. It must be an oversight, but it la certainly a very great pity that no provision has been made by the commissariat for I the wants of the burgher force ens rouge to the Governor's head-quarters ; and, consequently, although General Somerset very kindly took apea him self a large amount of responsibility in authorising the hurghers to draw rations, the conical/cartel, having received a positive order from the governor not to lose to them, have been plumed in a very awkward position. All the eons; naimariat offieen have acted with much kindness, and have tented upon a guarantee from the army oaken, when no other sufficient authority appeared. Our quartermaster, when in Fort Beaufort, appealed to the commissary general, who gave an order for the supply of toad and forage as far ea Bland's Poet. Here we expected to have the governor's own order, but no provisicei km been made for us. It is believed that much cattle will be taken, If mitten are well managed. The men en all in good spirts. The Graham's Joan Journal of July 31 publishes the following summary of the previous week's events:— The chief event recorded this week is the gallant repulse of the Hottentot rebels by the small garrison of Fort %%its, showing in the first place what may be done by brave de termhicd men, and, in the next, the craven spirit of the vagabonds who infest the border, when confronted in the open field. Another gallant affair under Colonel Buller, in the Waterkloof, will be found officially reported in to day's isme, and may serve to give assurance to the colonists that, during the brief absence of the Commander.ic.Chief on the expedition to the Kei, the enemy in the locality in gnomon will be well looked after, and, if encountered, de servedly punished. Another murder of a European by Hottentot rebels is reported this week, u far westward as the district of Haulage, indicating very distinctly that these miscreants have spread themselves widely over the province, and must be guarded against with unalumbering vigilaaae. Several cuss of cattle lifting are also reported: one, that of Mr. J. Carlisle, in the very precincts of Graham's Town, and an other only a few miles southward of it. These cases seem to give indication of a desire on the part of the enemy to retaliate on the colony by their forays on this side the Fish River, for the projected movement into the Kaffir territory. This may deter a few willing men from quitting home, but ought not to delay the expedition for an hour. Were such an effect to be produced, the Kalil would be shrewd enough to improve upon the idea, and never fail to resort to it is a means of bailing any and every attempt on our part to carry the war into their own country—which, it may he observed, is the only way of effectually subduing them. So long as we set merely on the defensive, they have it all this: own way, and live upon the colony. Turn the tablet, and carry the war ha() their own territories, and they speedily discover to their cost the evil consequences of the hostilities which they are so ready to provoke. The effort made by the inhabitants of this town and dis trict, and of Port Elisabeth, to aid the Governor in his pro- Tcted expedition to the Kei, is most creditable to them. he first troop of about 60 men, well mounted and most efficiently armed, quitted town yesterday for Fort Beaufort, and were heartily cheered as they moved down the High street, the bells of St. George's Church adding to the hub bub which their departure occasioned. Major-General Somerset, and most of the military offieen in Graham's 'town, were present at the start. The turn out on the whole was meet creditable, the men being admirably suited for the work—many of them first-rate shots, and of tried pluck in border warfare. They had placed themselves under the command of Mr. W. Stubbs, who, though deprived of the use of one hand by the severe wounds he received many months ago in a desperate conflict with the rebel Hottentots of Theopolie, his nevertheless of late on several occasions again taken the field, and with his one arm is as ready to confront the enemy as ever. Mr. Stubbs holds the appointment of captain in the Albany Rangers, but it is rig ht it should be distinctly understood, that those who nowjo in the expedi tion are volunteers, and do not take the fie d u members of anyi corps.

TO Det—Mentse, Sift 134101111111 001. 197. .... ....AMMSIO.IIII. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8. On the 28th of September last we published the correspondence which took place between the Se cretary of State for the Colonies and Mr. MINCNI, the principal member of the administration of Canada, on the subject of the Clergy Reserves. We now And our contemporaries re-directing public attention to the documents; and, in truth, the subject has a deep and painful interest for all who value the main tenanoe of feelings of mutual respect and confidence, between this country and her remote dependencies. The mail that reached Southampton yesterday brings uews of fresh agitation on the subject in the peov ince. and tells of a new petition from the Colo mists to the Qum:4. For many years the condition of the property de voted by act of Parliament toccelesiasticaljnirposes in Canada has been the constantly recurring source of dissatisfaction anti dispute. Parliament, in the pleni tude of imperial ignorance, took upon itself, while the country was yet unpeopled, to decree that when ever a population should find i.s way thither, it should discover standing in the way of improvement large sections of land devoted to the purposes of "the Church as by law established." So long as the forest stood unfelled, and the Only dwellers by the shores of the " inland seas " were the e 'Need or four-footed aborigines of the wild, the sagacity of this marvel lous statute was not gainsayed. But from the day when the axe of the emigrant began to be laid to the root of her primeval trees, Canada became conscious of her right to what the Rhode Islanders had loved to term their soul-liberty;" and where soever in the cleared apace or by the river's bask two or three score- families from Scotland, Ireland, or the north of England, rested from their hard labour on the Seventh Day—there was the spirit of non confurniity found to be in the inidst of them. That it expressed its fervent hopes and prayers in different shapes and in accordance with a great variety of sectarian traditions brought from the old country, was only natural. In sine cases out of ten it was not the children of the favoured chinch at home who had sought new settlements beyond the wave. Covenan ters, uprooted from Scottish ground to make room for my lord to shoot undisturbed, or Catholics, evicted from the Celtic soil by the Irish squires, bore with them to Canada no particular prejudice in favour of the Anglican ritual or tenets. And as this miuglei race of emigrants grew and multiplied, it is not to be wondered at that the old feelings and con victions gathered strength in their new state of im munity and independence. The law remained unaltered which had fore-ordained that Canada should be a spiritual fief of Canterbury holding large blocks of public land ; but the people, as fast as they struck root in the land, practically refused to recor sine the presumptuous imposture. As early as the year 1831 Lord RIPON, then a Liberal, and a member of Lord GALT'S administra tion, saw the folly and mischief of affecting to adhere to the obsolete policy of the last century; and in one of his despatches as Colonial Minister promised that a bill should be brought into parliament enabling the provincial legislature to dispose of the ecclesiastical lands as tiny might see fit for the common benefit of the whole community. In the struggles of party at home, and the disturbances caused by more urgent questions in the colony, this just and releasable pledge was suffixed to be unredeemed. Lord Rn'on turned Toc7. Lord DERBY, who succeeded him, was bent on driving the colonists to madness upon politi cal matters, to which unhappily he ea .cw,e. Lord OLENELO was too incldent, and Lord lowa Resew. too mach hampered by the results of his honest efforts at Church temporalities reform in Ireland during the MELBOURNE a dm inistration, to take up the subject in a legislative form; and when Lard DERBY re-' sinned the seals of the Colonial Department under Sir R. PEEL, there was nothing effectual attempted. The attention of his successor was called by the ad visers of Lord ELGIN to the need of doing something towards a satisfactory adjustment; and—to do him justice—Lord OREN appears to have been fully pre pared to concede unconditionally that entire con trol over the clergy reserves which Mr. Secre tary MINCKII and his colleagues demand on behalf of the Colonial Assembly. It was understood Indeed that a bill renouncing on the part of the Im perial Legislature the power to deal with the rode elastic:al lands of the province was to have been brought in last session, had the late Government renamed to oftlee. Resting his claim upon this admiesion and ex rintention on the part of Lord GIIZT, Mr. c e ts addressed himself, in the wrath of May last, to Sir JOHN PAHINOTON, and premed lie ease reite ration of the asseronoe already given is the abject by his whig poiN..r.

I am now informed that he will be tried at Aix, upon the charge of being implicated in the conspiracy. The house of M.

He then passed in review a number of deputations from communes of the Lot-et-Garonne. bearing flags and crying Vive l'Empereur. At eight this morning the Prince went on board a steamer on the Garonne, to proceed by water to Bordeaux, crowds cheering him on the way. Ile arrived at Bordeaux at four o'clock. Preparations are already making for the Presi dent's triumphal entry into Paris. The minicipal commission has opened a credit of 40,000 fr. for the construction of a triumphal arch at the entrance of the bridge of Austerlitz opposite the principal en trance of the Jardin dee Plantes. M. Visconti is to have the management of this decoration. The Prince will make his entry on horseback, at the head of 32 squadrons of cavalry of the first military division. All the infantry of the garrison will be under arms, to form the line of procession, in conformity with the decree on the honours to be rendered to the chief of the state when he re-enters the capital. It is possible that the President may not return to Paris till the 17th. At Nismes he was waited upon by a deputation from Blois, to invite him to visit that town. A definitive answer was promised on the Bth of October, and, should it be in the af firmative, a supplemental programme will be published.

The Troupe sad Smith tickets arc about on a par, so far as regards their strength. The Glourester Telegraph gives the following intelligence from the fishing grounds : There have been several arrivals from the hey tinee Saturday morning, all of th , m with meagre farts. We learn from them that the maelsi rel are scarce, and most of the fish play within three miles of the thorn. The prospeet now it that the American vessels will obtain poor fans this fall.

Captain Deusiugs said in reply that his vessel was not to be taken, as he was not violating the treaty; and if the officer attempted to do so he suould resist to the but, After some words had weed between them the officer got into his boat and went off, teting the crew of anothcr ves sel near by that he was going after more force. Captain Domingo., however, had received no farther trouble when the William Babeon left. We also learn that the lieutenant who was in command of the Telegraph the first of the ita,J7l has been removed, and another put in his place, who d,, e , not disguise his vessel, but keeps his those living al; the time. We know that some of our fishermen have gone into the bay with the determination of never aurrendering their vessels to the British cutters as lung as life remains in them, and if any of the cutters undertake to capture them by force they will meet with resistance ; and where there are so many resolute men together, should the cutters unne cessarily annoy them, trouble will assuredly result. Despatches from Quebec, under date of Sept. 24, state that ministers have brought in a resolution to make the Legislative Council elective, instead of appointed by the crown; to be half the number of the Lower House, and chosen from men who have been in the Lower house, or Mayors of municipali ties.

FORGERIES IN THE WEST ItIDING.-00 Monday, William Banton was again brought before Joseph Stiakey, George Armitage, John Brooke, and Thomu P. Crossland, Bsqn., at the police offiee, Huddersfield, and was charged with forging and uttering two bills of exchange, dated re spectively May 1, 1852, and May 15, 1852, for 281. 10s. and 301., both payable at four month., and drawn by the pri soner upon and purporting to be accepted by William Chadwick, tailor and draper, Hanging-ditch, Manchester, and Francis Birkin Newton, tailor and draper, St. Ann street, Manchester. The examination, which excited con siderable interest, was opened at 10 o'clock in the morning, and continued to five in the evening. From the voluminous evidence adduced, it appeared that the prisoner, who is B widower with four children, for some time past has been an extensive buyer of woollen goods from the warehouses of Huddersfield, for which he was in the habit of paying bills on parties stated to be his customers. These tran sactions extend over one or two years, bills dated as far back as 1850 being produced in court ; end if the transactions prior to the present year are in any simi lar proportion to those of more recent date, they will have involved several thousand pounds ; but as the pri soner has, up to a short period prior to his apprehension, succeeded in taking up his bills, it is difficult to rocertsin even the approximate amount. During the present year his principal dealings have been with the firms of Messrs. John Firth and Sons ; Messrs. Barbour ' Paton, and Co.; Mere. Longworth , Brown, and Co. ; and Messrs. Riley, Gledhill, and Co. ; from each of whom he has purchased largely. With the firm of John Firth and Sons his deal ings have amounted to a sum of 2,6001., and they arc at t holden to a large amount of th e p r isoner's hills. prevent reply s to the inquiries of the merchants, the prisoner represented the aceepton as bona fide acceptors ; and so long as the bills were met, little or no suspicion was excited ; but the present bills being returned die honoured, inquiries were made, and resulted in the discovery that the acceptances were forged, and that a system of wholesale forgery had been pursued. A warrant was issued 'guest the prisoner on the 24th ult., and on the 25th he was apprehended at the shop of Mr. F. B. Newton, in Manchester, by Mr. Superintendent Thomas, when six forged bills ard 18 pawn tickets were found upon him. Ile was removed to Iluddersfieh , the same evening, and his residence was then searched, when other bills and several scraps of paper written over with names and figures were discovered. The alleged at-colors of the bills were called, and denied that the signatures win in their handwriting; and witnesses were subsequently ea mined to identify the writing as that of the prisoner. As already observed, the examination extended over seven hours, and involved inquiries into '2O or 30 bills, on various parties, amounting to from 4001. to 5001. At the of the examination the prisoner was committed to York gaol to take his trial at the senses, and bail war refused. Sin" his apprehension the prisoner has made an assignment ; and his liabilities are stated to be about 6,000/.—Marichister Guardian. SEIZURE OP SNLTF.—A lam seizure of snuff was made at the Broomielaw on Wedtiesday last by the Custom house authorities. The snuff was pecked up in botch, purporting to be filled with oil ; and to ensure every 31 , " pearance of this, tubes filled with oil were used to the bung-holes of the barrels. One of the officers in naugiva barrel had his suspicions excited by the colour of the oil. and knocking in the end of it, discovered that it was tilled with snuff. We believe that the amount seized will al bth about three tone , all of which was concealed in the base manner.— Glarno Herald.
