PRoGREsS OF CHOLERA A WORD ABOUT CHRISTMAS. - . - , rieow vat cizecatt soma. or naltra.l Though since the last anuouncement them has been a general sut.eidence of etveces, as was the east: at ft''''s period of the year m la la, yet there has Area Ito slay in which cacti of the disease have not occurred in different parts of the country . ; but in England it has rarely assumed an epidemic charac ter. Its pew:ribs appears to have been particularly checked during the recent cold and frosty weather in those Metrics which are in u marshy condition, and the surface and malarious evaporation of which is usually in proportion to the elevation of the tem perature. On the other hand, in Scotland the disease has been all along steadily persistent, and in several places has assumed an epidemic chareeter. Scarcely is the severe visitation of Dundee terminated when a decided outbreak has taken place at Glasgow. There were recorded from the 17th to the 25th instant 17 deaths from this disease. On the 26th there occurred suddenly tei attacks in the city parish alone, and 10 deaths in the Barony paribh.• This was followed the next day (the 27th) by 28 attacks and 9 deaths in the City parish, and 13 attacks and 3 deaths in the Barony parish. Dr. Gavin, the medical inspector, is on the spot, and with the co operation of the local authorities is actively engaged in organizing preventive measures. During the epi demic of 1848 and 1849 Glasgow buffered more severely than almost any other large city in Great Britain. It is remarkable that in Scotland the disease has proceeded unchecked by the cold of winter. In 1848 the pesti lence was at its height in Glasgow, on the Ist day of the year of 1819, while the ground was covered with snow and severe frost prevailed; and at the same time it raged with great violence at Coatbridgc and several other towns. Since the commencement of the epidemic there have occurred in Dundee 315 deaths, in Liff and Bernie 20 deaths, in Leith 9, in Kilburnie 15 deaths and 100 attacks of diarrlicea, in Dairy 14 attacks of cholera and 9 deaths, in Arbroath 20 deaths, and in Iteith 7, in Kilwinning 60 cases of choleraic disease, 13 cases of developed cholera, and 10 deaths. The a ccuunts given by the inspectors of the phy sical conditions in which large bodies iif new popu lations in manufacturing districts are found in places previously the seats of cholera are exemplified in the following account given by Mr. I'. H. Holland of the condition of Merthyr Tydvil, visited in conse quence of 1,312 de iths from cholera having occurred there during the visitation in 1814.9, and of its con tinued high rate of mortality. It appears that in this new manufacturing population, in 1041, the loss of life, as compared with other places in a better sanitary condition, such es 'fregaron, was on an average 12 years to every adult who died; and that while the deaths from epidemic diseases were in 'fregaron 22 in 1,000, in Merthyr Tydvil they were 82 in 1,000. "The first circumstance (says Mr. Holland) that must strike every visitor at Nlerthyr is the extreme and universal dirtiness and wetness of the town. I have visited many dirty places, and have generally been taken to see the worst parts of most of the, worst towns in England. With the worst parts of London and Manchester I am familiar; that extremely dirty city, Bristol, I have recently examined, but never did I see anything which could compare with Merthyr. It is not merely mud that is a cause of con stant annoyance and discomfort, not merely that there are no proper footpaths and the roadways generally abominable, rendering clean shoes an impossibility ; not merely that in many parts nothing that can be fairly called a road exists at all, mere tracks worn by horses, wheels, and passengers into a puddle; but ever/whom seen along roads and paths constantly keepinnewil. are visible indications of the absence of those places of accommodation generally thought in dispensable. So universal is the presence of this filthiest of filth, that it requires constant watchful- Ms to avoid treading in it. This is described with force at pages 30 to 34 of Mr. Bammell's Report; and, so far as I can judge, the evil there exposed still remains in as great force as ever. The pollution of the air and of springs and streams from which many of the poor derive their only supplies of water, the inevitable in decent expouire of the person (ride page 33) and injury to the modest, who are compelled to resist the calls of nature till nightfall (vide Mr. White's statement, p. 32), all continue unabated ; at any rate, it is difficult to imagine them worse than they now are, except by those familiar with the extreme mischiefs endured by the poor of neglected places. I can hardly expect credence for such facts as the fol lowing, yet it is perfectly free from ex aggeration. I saw a young woman filling bar pitcher from a little stream of water pelting from a cinder-heap, the surface of which was so thickly studded with alvine deposits that it was difficult to pass without treading in them, in some of which I saw intestinal worm s, and the rain then falling was washing the feculent matter into the water which the girl was filling into her pitcher, no doubt for domestic use. If such an indication of utter barbarism were met with in the account of some distant land it would be apt to be taken as a " traveller's tale," but here, such is the deficiency in the supply of that main necessary of life, water, that not only at this one point, but in many parts of the town, is the only supply to be obtained similarly polluted. Mer thyr presents ono of the most strongly-marked cases of the evil so frequently observed of allowing &village to grow into a town without providing the HIIIPSIM of civic organisation. It is the theory of Misses faire carried out to its legitimate conclusion. Nothing has been done by united action for all, every one has been left to get his own supply of water as be could, and get rid of the refuse from his dwelling ash. could, to make, and mend, and cleanse his owe rends and the local government seems to have been eentined to two only objects (to which some contend all government should be confined) to tax and to punish. As a natural consequence we find that the only water most of the poor can get is polluted, and even that cannot be ibtained, but with toil and difficulty in scanty quan tity, and at an expense in money and money's worth (time and labour) far exceeding that for which by eembined action water might be provided for all, in esistinted quantity (soft and pure), and procurable in every house at any time. At Newport by means of combined effort of all for each through the action of their local board, the company are supplying every I house of below 101. rent with unstinted and continu-1 ous supply of water, as soft as rain, and as pure as spring water, at 1;c1. and 2d. a week, or say a farthing a day. At Mer thyr, where each must supply himself the Rev. E. Jenkins thus reports, " During winter there are from six to eight spouts, some half a mile, some a mile, distant from the houses; but in summer they are often reduced to three, the remainder being dried up. At these water spouts (pyshtylls, as they call L them in Wales), I have seen fifty, eighty, as many as s hundred, people awaiting their turn. The rule is la[ arriving. each should be supplied according to the time arriving. The women have told tue they have waited six, eight, and ten hours at a tune for their turn, and some then obliged to go away without any water at all. The have been known to wait up the whole of the night. Drainage, like water supply, has been left to indivi dual effort and with like results. The Merthyr Board of Health have now existed above two years, but nothing like systematic drainage has been in all that time attempted much less accomplished. 1 am told there is a difference of opinion as to the right mode of proceeding. Some urge the inexpediency of making any drains until the main outlet is pro vided ; others that the system should be laid down on paper, and such sewers as are most urgently wanted constructed first, using the river as the outlet pro tempore, taking care of course that all such sewers shall be capable of being here after brought into the system. To this it is objected that, to make drains empty into the river, is only removing the nuisance front one part of the town to another, and it is better to do nothing than not do it completely. Te this I venture to rejoin, that filthy water in the river, bad as it would be, will be much less bad than the same filth where it now is, close among the houses; that when there are two evils, if we remove one we shall hereafter find it more ray to cure the other, and that the best way of getting work accomplished is to begin at once. " vo TIIR trot THR MILT yea , Stu,—lfespite the doubtful look of things abroad, England "at home" is gill bu.y with its Christ mas holiday'-making. Christmas aui"...eMetts are about as Id ark Christrual itself in England, and I llornt of the oldest ,putts remain, with mere modifie s lim, of hem and topic; but them is novelty enough to impress very deeply the observer of his tutees. The Pantomime is legitimately descended from the old ma-spiersding extravaganzas which stfiaded popular license for satirising the faults and fullita of the time. Where, three centuries ago, we should have n lazy monks and rapacious courtiers played off ot. the stage of that day, ur in street groupie we now Live 111 hi Orettue bribed for his lirentford vote. Where, in the days of Columbus, we should have Lr 1 feuvitul reprowntations of the very odd euun trie 4, with their very odd products, set down in the nwpv of the tune, we have now Lethe's Wharf, in the kingdom of Stab Quo, with Col:imbue himself engaged as an explorer, and sent along the viaduct of Orme Ignotuni, to examine the region of I'io Magnifico. Hero we have the old form of Allegory, applied to the great idea of the age—the superseesiou of the stationary by the pro grew.ive ttoderwy. While allegory remains we shell Dot lose the fairies. The popular belief in them is , gone, and they have become alleg orical. There is ! no help for that : but they mat' linger a long while notwithstanding. 'there are hits in the new panto mimes at foreign politics, at the modern affliction of ennui, at the London Corporation, and so on—quite in the spirit of former centuries, whose Christmas ripens have always reflected the topics of the time. But the old recreations do not suffice for the London of our day ; and no wonder, when we consider w hut the London of to-day is, in regard to the number and quality of its inhabitants. Our population —the population of London and its environs—is about the same as that of the whole kingdom of Portugal. The caterers of our Christmas amusements undertake much such a task as if they proposed to entertain the whole Portuguese nation, While, therefore, the traditional amusements of merry England are preserved end carefully perpetu ated, there is room and demand for many new ones: and it is in these new ones that the thoughtful ob server finds so much suggestion and gratification. It was a great day for civilised nations when Panoramas were deviled. This is one among the boons which arc insufficiently acknowledged. I do not say insufficiently estimated—because it appears, front the great increase of panoramas, that they must be well supported. But, as an educa tional agency, they appear so valuable that it is a wonder that a very prominent place is not given them among the features of the age. It is true, panoramas suppose a certain amount of knowledge. A spectator must have some 'action of a country before he wishes to see its picture. But the first readings in all popular libraries are, I believe, of Voyages and Travels, as these are the first choice of the schoolboy for his holi day reading ; and upon this naturally ensues the eager desire to see the picture of the lands, seas, cities, and their natives, already conceived of through busks. There is probably nobody in Eugland of the multitudes interested in our Polar expeditions, and the fate of Franklin, who has not availed himself of ant opportunity of seeing the Pular panoramas, good and bad. The friends of emigrants to Ame rica or Australia flock to see New York, Niagara, Mexico, and California, the Overland Journey, and the Ocean Mail panoramas ; and multitudes more, whose interest comes through books only, go to ace as many as are within reach. Constanti nople is an important one at present ; and, no doubt, as soon as there is one of any part of the Black Sea which is much referred to in the newspapers, or of the Circassian coast, or of the Lower Danube, we shall all be flocking to see it. It would have been a wonderful thought to our fathers, if the provision had been theirs, that all the remarkable scenes of the globe would be some day presented in life-like aspect to the humblest stayer at home. Mr. Wyld's Great Globe ranks higher still. The pictorial pleasure here yields to the more abstract satisfaction of a comprehensive and scientific contemplation. It may be doubted whether the most scientific geogr ,pher could enter that Globe without emotion. It is a great aid to the imagina tion to stand in the midst of so large a presentment of the proportions and great natural features of the world we lice in. Our Botanic Gardens are another boon, even when their grasmplats are sheeted with snow, and all the leave. that can fall are under it. Such gardens are resorted to almost as eagerly now as at midsummer, wherever they are freely opened. Now is the time for the beauty of the pine tribe and of all evergreens to be estimated ; and now are their varieties most obvious. The conservatories are a prodigious treat, and it is better than fairyland to the working man's family to walk through an avenue of ferns, and look up among the green lights shed through the leaves of plantains, and the network of air plants, and the canopy of climbers, rich and rare. AU these scenes of profitable recreation lead forward our thoughts to the grandest of all, which is yet to come—the Sydenham Palace—in which they will be all com bined, with much more that perhaps no working man yet dreams of. Our present condition, as to popular recreation, is but a transition state, com pared with what it will be when that palace, and the smaller ones which are sure to arise among our People's Parks, shall have become an institution. The one thing that we ought to desiderate most is a greater extent and variety of active sports. Why, so long as we have green commons in summer, and frozen ponds and rivers in winter, should there not be cricket, racing, and wrestling, curling, skating, and methodical snowballing, as of old? The popular limbs and lungs want more, not less, exercise, as the popular brain becomes busier. It is very pleasant to see a silent crowd listening to a lecturer under a roof, and also to hear the gay laughter in the theatre, on pantomime nights : but we should also oftener see, wherever there are people's parks or any kind of playground within the four seas, the flush of exercise and the triumph of skill in active games, and hear the shouts of the players ringing through the frosty air. This is now the popular seed in the matter of sport. Many of us who have more or leas interest in the rural districts could sorely do something to supply it. How many will take the hint? z.

MANSION-HM:B2. THE GREAT BILL FORGERIES. Yesterday Lavine been hoed fur the further exim'nation of Warms .41telteion, who seen is eh aged with having committed Lreeriee of a meat extensive nature, lon before the hour of eommeneing business the justice room was densely crowded by influential merchants and others, many of them sutterete from the miscr nduct of the prisoner. The Lord Mayor presided. Sir R. W. Carden and A:dermsn Ilumphery were ales upon the beech. Short . .y after 12 o'clock the prisoner was placed at the bar in ens tody of John Forrester. Mr. Nobler, who appeared for the prisoner upon the former examination, was ageiu iu attendance. The depositions of the witnesses in connexion with the barge egainst the accused of haring filoniuusly uttered a iseged acceptance for 2.25 e/. with itittut to defraud M • Wemeruley and Burt, well knowing the same to be forged, were Tend over end signed. After the usual caution, wen being asked what he had to say in auswir to the chaue, the prisoner, through his soli citor, said be should reserve his defence. Ile was then committed, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The prisoner was next charged with having feloniously uttered a forged acceptance fur the sum of 2,4801., with a I view to defraud Mr. Philip Conrad F , well knowing the same to be forged. Mr. Philip Conrad Freese—l am an exchange, discount, and Lisurance broker of No. 16, George-street, Mansion House. On the 20th inst. I received the bill of exchange, the subject of this inquiry . I believe it was brought to my M counting-house by a r.ll4der's clerk, but I was abs•nt at the time. I received it louse from my clerk. It was for 2,4801. 1 had previously spoken to blr. Ryder upon the subject of the bill, having been made acquainted with the fact the it was about to Le sent to me for the purpose of being discounted. I believe I received directions about getting it discounted from Mr. Ryder. The prisoner gave my clerk directions as to what was to be due with the pro ceeds of the hill ; the dir.ctions were not given personalty to me. I took the hill to Messrs. Overeed, Gurney, and Co., who discounted it for nie. I received from them an open cheque for 2,0001. By "open" I mean an uncrossed cheque. 1 gave this cheque to Emanuel Green, my clerk, who cashed it at Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s, end brought the mouey back to the counting-house ; hut I itid not see it in his possession. I had given him directions what to do with the money, but what he did with it was not done in my presence. 1 afterwards saw the prisoner on the same day upon the subject. lie then wanted me to buy a bill upon Havre for 600/. This sues he was to pay on the delivery of the bill. I understood that part of the pro. ees'ds of the 2,0001. that I had übtaiued was to be applied to the purchase of the 600/. hill. It was not to be paid through me. I was to pay the balance of the 2,4801., after deduct ing the 1,6001., to Mr. Ryder. I gave my clerk directions to pay this balance to Mr. Ryder. No portion of the balance that was to be paid over to Mr. Ryder was to be applied toward.. the purchase of the 600/. bill. The bill produced by Daniel Forrester is the bill in question, to the best 01 my belief. 1 did nut indorse it. I merely acted as agent between the parties. The bill is as follows : " B. 2180, due 7th April, 1854. " Nu. 630—Exchange tor 2,lBol—Calcutta, 4th October, 1853. " At six months after date pay this first of exchange (second arid third ;repaid) to the order of J. M. Dapuot, the sum of two thousand four hundred and eighty--. t.

Paris, Decembre 13, 1853. " W. B. Anderson." " JAM. DepoeT. The bill upon Havre has nothing to do with the present transaction, it never having gone. the interview between me sod the prisoner took place at my counting-house. I saw him again the same day, when he was in custody, at Misses. Womersley and Co.'s. 1 went there about half-1 past three o'clock, when I demanded of the prisoner the return of the bank notes, amounting to the sum of 1,0001,1 which he had received from my clerk. He replied that if I went with him to Mr. Ryder's countingehuuse in Broads street, he expected I should find them there. 1 went then with Forrester, another person, and the prisoner. but did not get the notes. I saw Mr. Ryder's clerk. When the money was not found to be there, the prisoner said it would Ibe in Billiter.street. We then all went to Billiter-street together, when the prisoner went into a counting-house, Forrester and I after him, slipped down an inner staircase, and attempted to escape. He was, however, se, nred by Forrester. I then came with Forrester and the person who had accompanied us, a Mr. Clark, to the Mansion House, where tae prisoner was searched. 6001. and a warrant were found upon his person. The 6001. he received free my clerk, although the produce of the cheque fur 2,00011. never passed through my Minds. Ste. Nobler—Nor the 6001. Witness—Nor the 6001. Mr. David Barclay Chapman—l am a partner in the firm of °emend, Gurney, and Co., of Lombard-street, money dealers. I produce a bill of exchange fur 2,4801. purporting to be drawn by Mr. J 1 Le Brun noon Mows. P. mad 11 Van Rotten and Co. It was brought to me by Mr. 'WM for discount, and in put discount of it I gave a chills* fur 2,000/. on account, upon Messrs. Barclay and Co., of Loa. bard-street , Mr. Emanuel teen —I am clerk to Mr. Freese. On the 20th of December the hiU of exchange produced was brought to the counting-house by Mr. Austin, Mr. Ryder's clerk. Ile left it with me for diaeoust, and I gave it to Mr. Freese the same day at balf-past 11 o'clock. At a quarter to two o'clock the same day I received from Mr. Freese an open cheque for 2,0001., which I cashed at Messrs. Barclay and Cu.',, getting for it five notes, namely, one fur 1,0001., one for 5t'01., two for 2001., and one for 1001. I had received directions from Mr. Freese to give 1,6001. to the prisoner, whom 1 found at the office when I returned from M Barclay and Co.'s. I accordingly handed him the notes for 1,0001., 5001., sod 1001. I neither wrote upon these notes, nor made any memorandum of their numbers. On the same day, about twenty minutes to 12 o'clock, I had some conversation with the prisoner attar the bill was leg with me, in the coursed' which he said he wished to have notes, and also a bill on Havre, instead of a crossed cheque for the bill that he had brought. To the best of my mod lection he mentioned notes to the amount of 1,6001., and a. hill on Havre for 6001. I did not see him indorse the hill. I should not keow has handwriting. I did not see him again alter I gays him the money till he was in custody. When I gave him the 1,6002 he said nothing to me about the balance. I understood it Iva. to be sent to Mr. Ryder by previous arrangemen• between him and the prisoner. No arrangement of this nature was made with me. I took no receipt for the 1,6001. Mr. J. Mitchell—l am cashier at Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s, bankers, Lombard-street. I cashed the cheque for 2,0001. produced on the 20 h inst. Ido not keow who brought it. I gave in exchange for it one note of 1,0001., numbered 93,425, dated the let April, 1853; one for 6001., numbered 90,972, dated the 2nd March, 1853; one for 2001, numbered 69,733, dated the 4th January, 18:53; another for 2001., numbered 59,317, of the same date, and one for 1001, numbered 31,921, dated the sth August. 18.53. The two halves of the notes produced by Forrester are parts rat those which I paid on the occasion in question—one being half of the 5001., the ether of the 1001. cote. Mr. Charles John Austin—l am clerk to Mr. Ryder, of , 76, Old Broad-street, East India and Jamaica merchant. 'the bill of exchange produced was given to me by the pri soner, on the 20th December, at Mr. Ryder's countieg house. He asked me if I would take it to Mr. Freese and get it discounted, and let him have the money before 12 o'clock. Mr. Ryder being out, I took the bill to Mr. Freese. I saw the prisoner endorse the bill at our office. I did not receive any portion of the money afterwards from Mr. Freese's clerk. i believe the prisoner received the money. Mr. Ryder has not yet received any portion of the proceeds of the hill. The Lord Mayor—Was it usual for the prisoner to bring bills to you to be discounted? Witness—lle had done so once before, only once. The Lord Mayor—Had you authority from your employer •o take them for discount without his seeing them ? Witness—Yes, in his absence. The Lord Mayor—When last before the occasion in question had he brought a bill to you ? Witness—About a month before. The Lord Mayor—And you then got that discounted, lid you? Witness—Mr. Ryder took that on kitaself. The Lord Mayor—Do you remember the amount of • hill ? _ 'taus—Exactly on. The Lord Mayor—Did I correctly understand you that your business is that of a merchant ? Witness—Yes. The Lord bleu or—ls it any part of your badness to ne gotiate bills of exchange? Witness—Yes, as agent. I never put any name on them. The Lord Mayor—Have you known the prisoner for any length of time ? Witness—Since about the beginning of April of this year. The Lord Mayor—Did you introduce the prisoner to Mr. Freese ? Witorss—Y The Lord Msysr—ln whet character? Witness—As a merchant, and • party with whom I was acquainted. The Lord Mayor—As a man whom you believed to be • person of respectability ? Witness—Oh, certsody. The Lord Mayor—Were you to have had any commiuion for the discu•r.ting of this bill? Witness—Yes. The Lord Mayor—Ysu would have considered yourself entitled to • ccmmission for the discounting of tlds identical bill ? Witness—Yes. The Lord Mayor—Have you any objection to mention at what rate the commission would have been paid ? Witness—l should bare charged an eighth. The Lord Mayor—And that is a legitimate portion of your business Witness—Y. s. The Lord Mayor—What might have induced you to form the opiuion of the prisoner being a man of respectability ? Witness—Because he was introduced to me by very res pectable parties, with whom I had been acquainted for some time. The Lord Mayor—Was the hill for 8301. that you had previously discounted negotiated in a similar manner, your name not being upon it? Witness—No. The Lord Mayor—And you have no means of knowing whether that was a genuine bill? Witness—Yes it woo • genuine bill. The Lord Mayor—Wnat amount of commission did you obtain un that hill? Witness—l obtained none in that case. The Lord Mayor—Then had you no profit in that trans action ? Witness—lndirectly I had. It was to be paid against particular trans/Litton'. The Lord Mayor—Tho was to be paid against parti cular transactions ? Witness—Yes. A certain amount was owing me. The Lord Msyor—By the prisoner ? Witness—Yes ; and, therefore, I was very glad to dis count the hill for nothing. The Lord Mayor—Your transactions with the prisoner have not been confined simply to these two negotiations— you hare been connected with him ever since April ? Witness—Yes; I have had transactions with him since April. Mr. Lambert Van Nett; n Pole—l am a mrcbant, carry ing on basin' as at 2 and 3, Lime-street-square. I have one partner, and trade under the firm of P. and C. Van Notten and Co. There is not a Mr. Van Notten in the firm. I bank with Messrs. Martin, of Lombard-street, and always make my bills payable there. The acceptance to the bill of exchange produced is not in my handwriting, nor is it in that of my partner. It was not written by my authority. I know of no other firm. f the same name as ours in -Lon don. I do not know the supposed drawer. I know the prisoner, and have had mercantile dealings with him. I have never given him my acceptance to any bill of exchange. Ile has not drawn upon me at any time. The acceptance to the bill in question is a bad resemblance of my hand- writing. Mr. Chapman—My lord, I beg to make one observer,. with reference to the tailing of this bill. When Mr. Freese offered thin bill, 1 did nut consent to take it without asking hint several questions and getting his perfect assurance that he knew Mr. Anderson perfectly well, and that be was highly respectable man. I said to him, " You are quite cure of this." And upon this I passe d the bill. In the afternoon, after the apprehension of the prisoner , Mr. Ryder called in company with Mr. Freese, and said that he woe the person who bad introduced and recommended Mr. Anderson to Mr. Freese. I say this in justification to my self in taking such an amount, and also for the purpose of showing where Mr. Freese got his information as to Mr. Anderson. Mr. Pole—My lord, in answer to a question whether we always made, or, rather, I always made, bike drawn upon as payable at our bankers, I answered, " Always." It did not occur to me till this moment, that in cases of goods that are sometimes sold with hypothecation of documents, those we accept payable at our own office. This being the whole of the evidence in reference to the se cond charge, the prisoner, who had buried his face in his pocket handkerchief during the whole of the proceeding., and who seemed deeply sensible of the painful position in ' which he was placed, was again asked whether he wished to say anything. As in the first case, he replied th • rough Mr. Robley that he should reserve his defence. He was then remanded for a week, when it is understood another charge of a ibfferent character will be gone into. On the ap:theation of a solicitor who attended on behalf of the creditors of the prisoner, against whom • fist in bank ruptcy has been issued, Daniel Forrester was ordered by the Lord Mayor to deliver to the official assignee any float. meats which be had seized relating to the prisoner's move. Witn•sa-1 do not. The Lord Mayor—Had Mr. Ryder given you direeti-ns to take a hill of this kind to be unmounted when presented by Anderson ? Witness—He had that particular bill. A Clerk from the office of Mr. Murray, a solicitor, here stepped forward and said Mr Ryder was quite willing to state all that he knew in connexion with the tfansactiou. The Lord Mayor-1 can see no objection to that. I think the object should be to elicit as much as we possibly can. Mr. Thomas Ryder was then called. He paid—l am a merchant carrying on business at 76, Old Broad•street. I know the prisoner and have bad mercantile transactions with him. I have discounted one bill for him, the amount of which was 8301. 1 discounted that bill myself. The prisoner had spoken to me of a bill for 2,000/. coming, but not of one for 2,4901. That was on Saturday, the 17th or Monday, the 19th inst. I did not see that bill, but he told me tits% it was drawn on Messrs. Van Netter. The bill that is now the subject of inquiry, had not been mentioned to me by the prisoner. I had had some conversation with Mr. Freese, with reference to the 2,0001. bill. I had asked him it he could get a bill for 2,0001. done. I had asked him at what rate he would do one. I afterwards:old the prisoner that a bill could be done on Van Notten, by Mr. Freese. I was not in when the bill for 2,4801. was brought to my counting•bou•e, but shout one o'clock on the 20th inst. the prisoner called on me, and said he had made an ap pointment to be at Mr. Freese's office, at half-past one, as he wanted to buy • bill on Havre or France. I forget whether he said Havre. At this time my clerk bad told toe that he had received a bill for 2,480!., and left it. The pri soner said to toe that ha wanted 1,6001. in cash to buy a bank post-hill, end that the betimes Mr. Freese mid deduct for the French Bill. lie then Lary transactions. Mr. 'lobler said that his client was most anions to afford the assignees every assistance in his power. The Lord Mayor requested the press to acknowledge the receipt of 10/ , the annual contribution to the poor-box of Wm. P., London, 29th Dec., 1833. THAMES. Samuel Reed, aged 34, of No. 5, Broadway, Deptford, ship joint r, was charged with embezzlement. Mr. Newbon, for the prosecution, stated that the prisoner and another man named Harrison, had been long in the service of the prosecutor, Mr. C J. Mare, the shipbuilder, at Blackwell, and both bad occupied very responsible situa tions as foremen. About three y.irs ago Mr. Mare invented a planing machine, driven by a steam engine, but which required &certain amount of hand labour and attendance. Mr. Mare made a contract with Reed and Harrison that they should be paid at first a fourth, and afterwards a fifth, of all the earning.' of the machine, to be estimated according to the old prices, and that Reed and Harrison should find all the labour. The two foremen had also had the superin tendence of other artificers employed on the machine and elsewhere, and it had been their duty to take account of the men's time and return it to the pay-office, with the amount earned by them. It had been lately discovered, however, that they . had been sending in false esti mates, and committing other frauds, ever since the planing machine had been in operation. Last Sa turday night both Reed and Harrison attempted l another fraud. They had rendered an account at the countinghouse, on the previous Thursday, of the work done, or pretended to be done, for the fortnight ending Des ether 21, in which various quantities were stated, and sums charged, making a total of 1341. 3s. 9d. The fifth part to which the two foremen were entitled was 261. 15spd. la the ace 'tint rendered for the fortnight ending Dec. 21, there were 3,000 feet of moulding, called Grecian ogee, and 300 fee' of throat moulding was charged for, which had never been executed or returned into the stores. The storekeeper had checked the accounts with the items for the last twelve moetbs, and found that they had re eelved during the last twelve months 1671. 14s. more than they were entitled to on account of work which had never been executed. Mr. Newbon, after alleging other frauds, called a number of witnesses to substantiate his statement. Mr Ingham thought the overcharge for the mouldings was open to an explanation, and that the want of sufficient checks in Mr. Mare's yard, and the unlimited confi dence placed in the prisoner and his coadjutor Harrison would render it most difficult ti establish the case against them. There certainly was some evidence that a large system of fraud had been carried on, but the general laxity which prevailed in the yard as to the foremen's accounts, and the extensive nature of Mr. Mare's operations, would embarrass the matter very much. The prisoner, who said that he had been taken by stir prise, was then bound over in the sum of 2001. and one surety in 1001. to appear on Thursday, the 19th of January. SUICIDE BY LEAPING FROM A WlNDOW.—Yes teribly evening an inquest was token by Mr. Langham, at the Charing cross Respite', on the body of William Hart ' ley, aged 44, a fish salesman raiding in Phenix-street. Soho, who had precipitated himself from a window while under the influence of acute mania. It appeared that the deceased believed that he was entitled to some property, I which was mortgaged, and be wee frequently in a state of great excitement lest he should be deprived of the possession of it. On Saturday eight, the 10th instant, be was in tbe kitehen of the house where he resided, when he asked his wife for a cleaver, with which he said he intended to cut • something to pieces should it come. lie then observed that I the room was on fire, and that he saw the smoke coming through the floor. A female he lived with endeavoured to persuade hint to the contrary, but he became so furious that she left him. The next forenoon be suddenly rustled nut of the house, exclaiming " murder aced thieves." Ile proceeded up Crown-street, and entered No. 21. Ile passed the occupier of the shop, ran up the stairs, and forced open the door of tlte second floor, into which he went, flinging down a lad in the room. He then sprang from the window into the street. He was taken up and conveyed to the hospital , where he was found to have hurt his scalp and to have received other injuries which terminated in inflammation of the 'wags, sad which led to his death on Cbrietam•day. Verdict, "Temporary . insanity." COTTO:sl.—LlxtitPoot. , market c i e 'try firmly ct the full prize. of yesterday.

Yarns : There Is a greater disporitam to buy yarns for distant de livery, but the altered p: ice of wool cempels the spinner to seek higher prises, which acts as a hairier to eitensive operations. Pieces : The la't Thursday in the year was formerly considered no market. Although business to-day is not particularly active, yet more has been done than on some market days in November—no doubt to assort up stocks, for perhaps at no period w ithin the last twenty years have the merchants commenced a nem year with less stock than they will begin 1551. This has been met by the manatee:errors, who felt it unsafe to produce when the merchants were not buyers; and it is not improbable, with the seasonable weather we are now enjoying, and so suit title to the Bradford trade, that we shall have a more active, and, we hope, more profitable spring trade.—Bradford Obserrtr.

A GOVERNMENTEMIGRANT'S STORY.—The Eastern Counties Herald prints a letter received last week from an emigrant, who loft Hull in the beginning of April, and, sailing from Southampton on the flch, was landed in Mel bourne on the 21st of July-99 days from England. lie says :—'• After crossing the line I was made constable on board, for which I got 21. after landing, and very useful it was, for I had only 6a., and that I had to pay for my boxes carrying from the depot to our lodgings. We landed on Thursday, and took a room on Friday, for which we pay 21. Ss. per week. I got wink the Monday after we landed, and I have been working for the same man ever since. I had 284. per day for the first week, but he has given me 30s. per day since, so we can do very well. I have• worked five weeks since I came, and we are sending 201. by this mail to my father, at Huddersfield, to pay our debts with." The writer went out as a government emi grant, and he says: " When we land here we can do as we like and go were we like ; several of my shipmates are off to the diggings, but lam not. I think we can save about 4/. 10s. per week when I work full time. Masons and brick layers earn from 28s. to 325. per day; labourers, 16r.; car penters from 20s. to 255. ; tailors and shoemakers cannot live here. I should advise any person coming here to bring as little luggage as possible. We can get wearing apparel as cheap as at home, but provisions are very dear. Bread is ls. 6d. the 41h. leaf, butter 3s. 6d. per lb., milk 2s. per quart, and all other things in proportion. The room that we have is a chamber bedroom, and we have got a few things since we came over. My big box is our table ; my tool box uiy arm chair, and I have made a stool for my wile. I We have had no hardships to contend with yet." POWERFUL EFFECTS OF FRIGIIT.—A few days since a person at Bordeaux, finding one of his chimneys out •of order, sent for a sweep to remedy the evil. A boy Rent I up and as vitt it, but it still smoked, and his master then de- 1 termined to ascend himself as he had formerly done. Un fortunately he forgot that since he had become • master sweep he had acquired a degree of corpulency which ren dered him rather unfit for such a work, and the result was ithat on arriving at an elbow in the chimney be became jammed in, and could neither advance nor recede. After making ineffectual struggles for some time he became much alarmed, and cried loudly for assistance. The people of the house hearing him, ascended to the roof, and letting down rope succeeded after some difficulty in releasing him from his unpleasant position. As may be supposed, he was black from head to foot from the soot, but strange to say his hair, which before had been rather dark, was turned per fectly white from the extreme fright be had undergone.
