The aggregate meeting cf the citizens of Dublin, to sustain the principles of hie trade has been defi nitely filed to be held at the Rotundo, on Monday next. Ir is convened as an " open meeting to war tain the true feelings of the public on the all impor tant subject of free trade," in contradistinction to the privatu meting of the landed gentry," am the recent protectionist demonstration is termed. The protectionist aristocracy and gentry of Ireland have in tenth taken the position of the Young Ire lenders of 1848: witness eeveral pawges in their recent Rotundo meeting, hinting, in no o nee terms, at physical force and separation. Mr.N.Maher, M.P., has replied to the address calling upon himself and his colleague, Mr.F.Scully, to resign their scats for Tipperary, unless they consented to oppose free trade. Mr. Maher very properly sap s " I deny the right of a small fractional portion of this county—and you are a small fractional pori ion, a nal very influential one (the ladies of course excepted)--ts gall upon me to state what course I meant to purses lin my place in parliament. But I think lam bound to tell you that I am fully convinced that neither the present administration, nor any other administration that can be formed, could restore a protective di.ty on corn." The Freeman's Journal announces that the presi dency of the Irish College at Rome, vacated by the appointment of the Rev. Dr. Cullen to the Boman catholic primacy, has been conferred on the It2v. Dr. Kirby, who has fil.d the office of vice-pres.dent in the college for many years ; and that the Very Arm Dr. Miley, of Dublin, a gentleman distinguished is the literary world, has just been appointed presidewt of the Irish College at Paris, in the rcom of Dr. 31'Sweeny, retired i:n a pension. Both of therem fi c e i m aZi n ents are of great importance in the h catholic church. A Dublin correspondent of the Belfast News Letter gives the following information : The formation of toe new convict or government prisms department, by the L*rd Lieutenant, will be the beginning of a new age in the history of prison government in this country. R. K. Hitchicr, E*q , of the Chief Secretary's office, has been plated at hs head, with the title of Inapector. General of Government Prisons in Ireland, and a salary of 5001. per annum. Re is placed on the same footing in this' country as the Diremor ot Pile ins in England, and Inspector of Paeans in Scotland, and is charged with the sole controul and superintendence of the convict service in Ireland. There I are at present six convict or government prisons in this country, viz., five at Dublin, end one at Spike Island, Queens town—the latter being efficient for the maintenance of 1,500 convict*, which number has been increased, from the Ist of January last, to 2,000. In addition to these, a new prison has just been anstrucred on the North Circular-road, Dublin, to accommodate 500 convicts. It is to be a sort of Pentonville, with solitary confinement and metal training for the reclamation of the prisoners. The bendieis one et great taste and elegance, and will be called Muuntjoy Ouverament Prison. It will not, however, be ready to re ceive convicts for a few weeks. The Vied Lieutenant has just made the following appointments: P. Netterville, Esq., nephew of the Earl of Gleneall, to be Governor, at a salary ot 3.501. per annum. R.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1850. Bank. Witness still objected to eater into the beak, but ea stating the amount of his property, Mr. Cuedll said they need not fear and offered to start them with 1,6001, ea some of his dec de being deposited. He received 1.2001., and pelt' it into Sturt's hands on the morning the bank was Wilted. Mr. Coda said he hem Stun well; was a man who mien he touted with untold go:ll,—but he knew ambles shout his property. Toe teems of the part wove thee arranged, oa the way from the me Bank to 81. Albans, and afterwards embodied in a letter hen him to Shut. The distinct understanding was that witness was to incur no responsibility whatever ; Start was to keep the books, and famish him Wince attests once • quarter. That was his own propo sal. lie was to have a sales, of 3601., If the profits yielded so much. Had never received any balance-sheet from Start, but was frequently assured by him that the bank was inying, and doing boner than he expected. In March, 1846, he made& formal application fen a statement. with a view to disentangle himself. Start said it was a devilish easy thing to get into a beak, bat a devilish hard one to get out. Finding that money was continually going out, over which he had no control, he got alarmed, especially owing to the litigation of Stun, who was indicted, and also had an action for libel brought against bins, iu respect of a letter he had written to Sir !Met Graham, then secretary of state. There was a verdict against Stun for 1001. ; and the costa, from first to last, wen 6981. Witness had no concern in that matter, except as local attorney. Never authorised S ore to draw the costs out of the bank . The indictment for the same affair resulted in a penalty of 3001., which was paid by a cheque on the Comma' Beek, drawn by Stott, contrary to his (whims's) directioos. Another action against Start, for trespass led to oats of 2001. In all, 2 , 0001 . had been paid out of the partnership funds for Sturt's Bilged's. This at fected the stability of the bank. The out mere' balances immediately fell off ; they all said Start must be mad. In August, 1847, basing given his mother en under. taking to resign the boa k business, he gave Stun notice to that effect, and then obtained from him, after much pressure, a statement of the bank affairs. He immediately determined to ClOlO the bank, and gave Stun notice of dissolution. This was on the 2Sth of October, 1847. It was afterwards 'stetted, under , his signature only. The bank doors were kept open on the tad of December, 1847, against witness's wish. Start previous l y opposed the books being put in the hands of an accountant, sayine, if that was done, his character as a banker was gone for ever. The account he had furnished showed a deficiency of 1,6001. ; and witness said his friends would make that up, if Start would quietly retire. He refused to give up the bank books till they were taken under an extent by the sheriff 'a officer. When the ready cash in the bank was demanded, Stun refused, and said he should account for it at the proper time. The books wait placed in the hands of Mr. Begbie, the accountant, who was then engaged in winding up the Se lisbury bank (Brodie's). Witness and his brother could not form the slightest idea of the position of the bankrupt from the books. Mr. Begbia's inspection showed a deficiency of 2,2101. The books had not been posted up. He prop , sad to set apart the whole of his own property to meet the deft clency, except his books and a few book debts. In the state ment subsequently exhibited to his creditors, he had not in cluded his brother's debt of 1,9001. He had every reason to believe, if the securities held by the Commercial Bask had fetchei , anything like their value, that he should have had enough to cover the bank deficiency. He had his proper revalued in Dec., 1647, by Mr. Page ; the result was 6,2001., which was communicated to the creditors ; little more than half this had been realised. At the meeting of creditors in January, 1848, the debt to the C.minereial Bane was named, but it was stated to be covered. In pureuence of the resolution of that meeting. he paid debts under 301., 1,5501. for the notes in circulation, and other sums, in all about 1,8001.. hate ng raised the money by mortgage on pro f:softy not included in the Commercial Bank's stmunty. The property so situate was estimated at 7,2001. On the stoppage of the bank he gave notice to leave his house, sold his horses, discharged his servants, in fin broke up his establishment. He had a family of eight children under 12 years of age. His average expenditure for five years previous to 1848 had exceeded 8001. a year, and had always been within his professional income. He I bad had a surplus of 1001. to 2001. every year since 1837. Of the large sum he was said to lows overdrawn hie account, near 6001, was for interest. He had purchased the Auster hills estate with a portion if this money, 1,1001. ; the pre meds of that estate had been afterwards applied to the per poem of the bark. He had expended 7001. en his offices. About 2,000/. had been applied to his ordinary expenditure, swing to his having anticipated his receipts. He had paid to his brother at various times 3741 on account of a larger ism due to him; and 4002. or 5001. for repairs of property. Min Mare ma's deposit of 1001. was immediately pad into the bank. It was on the 6th of May, 1847. She objected to go to the bull. Her cheque would have been honoured at say time before the bank stopped. The resolutions of the meeting of crediton were signed by Mr. R. Smith for Mr. Beaumont. Afterwards he learnt that Mr. B was shout to alike a docket against him, and in Nov. or Dec.,1848, was mewed with a writ. Witness defended the action, because he thought Beaumont had no right to get id in full, and did not wish hies to take his furniture—a he bad. Beau mont had since said he was sorry he had brought the action, and hat. sines e mployed witness professionally. About the end of 1848 he first heard of Kinder's bid ; it had been dis posed of in the way described by Sturt, who never con. stilted him about anything of the kind. Mr. Talbot Gomm, one of the assignee', had attempted to tamper with him, by asking for a note of hand ; others had called on him, and advised him to get the bankruptcy superseded. Other credi tors had done the same. Had never said to Start that they must take care of themselves, but had said he hoped they should be able to pay every one, and he would sacrifice everything to do it. When he was instructed to pay the outstanding notes, Start said he would pay all that were in his pocket, and afterwards wrote him from Boulogne, in September, 1848, threatening to circulate further notes; ono of 201., which afterwards came in, was the immediate cause of his bankruptcy. Stutt's letter was as follows • Boulogne, Sept. 28, tact. Bir,—Havlng the authority of Messrs. Amery and Co., for stating year gresesilage in Chancery against me to be a trend upon tbe emit s alb that both ynuraelf and solicitor (to which I beg to add ales) maid be struck theft the rolls upon the fact being brought before the mart —having other documents in my poesemion proving said I.llato be bared upon the grossest perjury —and, further, ga isselved a summary of your conduct from one of the 'awe ten— ion tt due to add that all you have advanced of your partner lam compthed (though reluctantly) to say la true.

STOLL Sherd Gibson, L-q., St. Alban's. By Mr. Bagley—had sleeps kept accounts of his expendi tell% but did not unders'and accounts well. Was not aware that Stunt had no capital; thought him to have 2001. or 300!. a year. He went into the banking business entirely for Sturt's benefit. Did not think it necessary to make any inquiry about his property, but only wished to benefit him erne his family. He first applied for a statement of the bears affairs in March, 1846. He had a private pass-book, aril seed to send it to be made up occasionally—perhaps ewes a year. Stunt's litigation commenced is 1846. Did not demand a balance-sheet on that account. Stun always gave him to understand that things were going on well, beyond calling his attentioa to the state of his account. Stunt told him, at the commencement, that he should treat his account the same as that of any other private customer. The sum of I,oooi. which he had paid into the Commercial Bank was raised by a mortgage. At the end of the first year Stunt had represented the profits of the bank to be between 4001. and 5001. His brother was a good accountant, and was clerk of the peace for the county of Essex. Had always been on the most friendly and happy terms with his brother, and hoped be should ever so continue. Had made no bigamy, at the close of the second year, as to the affairs of the bank. At the meeting of creditors, in January, 1848, he put down his private estate at 7,3001, which deducting in. cumbrances of 1,6501.. he proposed to set apart for the liqui dation of his debts. It was then specified what deeds were held by the Commercial Bank. He could say most positively that Mr. Walker told the creditors at that meeting four or five dates that certain deeds were in the h suds of the Com mercial Bank. No dividend had been made to the creditors of the bank, nor had they obtained anything. The rearm why Miss Marcos had nut received her interest at the bank was because she would not go near Stunt. At this step of the proceedings, Mr. Linklater stating that he should have to examine Giblets for some hours, the inquiry was adjourned till Monday. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Yroraupsi.

The circumstances of the case were of a remarkable character. The insolvent, who had been a seaman, alleged that he was a descendant of Bir William Leman sad a claimant to the Leman estates. Thus were other efaimanh, sad a Mr. Newnham, who had married into the family, had given a bond for 100,0001. to the parties, payable on recovering the property.

The attendance of Mr. Newnhain was required, and although the case had stood over for his attendance he did not appear. Mr. Cooke, who appeared for Mr. Oppenheiza, ho the court would not proceed with the case until on was given to the gentleman for whom he appeared. It was really a sad state of things that one man 'should be kept out of his property by another pretending soma claim to it. If a man robbed another of an article he was punished, but this man had robbed Mr. Oppenbeini of his house, and win kept him at defiance. He trusted the learned commis sioner would put • stop to such a case. The insolvent was asked the reason Mr. Neernhani was not in attendanos, sad could give no reasonable explanation.

Jobs 7hoomas Simpson Jones, 86, a respectably dressed man, butone of the most notorious begging letterimpostors in England, was foliated fur having ohtaMrd by false pretences two halves of a SI. Bank et England note, end also the sum of 31., from Mr. John Collingridge, a gentleman of fortune residing at Siusbery, Mr. Phien and lit. Lempriere appeared for the proven , den, and Mr. Prenderges• appeared for the prisoner. Prendergast applied for a postponement of the trial, en the ground that the prisoner was anal‘4lll to plead antra NM acquit, and thatto arable him to do se it was necessary *at the record of a former trial of the prisoner upon the OEM charge must be produced, and at present he Lad not had sufficient time to procure it. After some dimension, the court ordered the trial to pro ceed, deciding that the prisoner had had ample time since his committal on the 9th inst. The prisoner was then arraigned. He pleaded autre foie acquit, but as he was Dot prepared to put in that pies in writing, and refused to make any other plea, the Court ordered the plea of not guilty to be entered. Mr. Phinn then proceeded to state the ease to the jury. He said the character of the investigation they were about to enter upon was one which, though supported by very simple facts, was of considerable public interest end import. %ace, though Lot of frequent occurrence in a court of justice. The prisoner was charged in the indictment with having by false pretences obtained from the prosecutor certain monies; ai.d the false representations upon which he so obtained the money were contained in what was very well known as "begging letters," and it would appear that the prisoner was one of those pests who defrauded the charitable and benevolent portion of the public by assuming false characters, concocting pitiful stories of woe, efilie• lion and trouble, and appealing to conapissionate feel• ing and sympathise, and who thereby perverted the stream of public charity from those channels in which, for the interests of society, it was desirable it should flow. The prosecutor, Mr. Collingridge, was a gentleman, who resided at Banbury Ville, in this county, and who also bed a residence in Polies( y-strest, Bath, and the pi itoner having got possession of has Bath address, forwarded him • letter thither • but at that time, July last year, Mr. Coiling ridge was at Banbury, and the letter was repeated at Bath to him there. In cessequence of that letter, Mr. Collingridge must a post-office order for 31. in favour of a person named Brewer, to the Post-office at Gravesend, and the eircum• stance of the litter having been sent to Both, gave MO to the anopeeition that the Bath Sessions had jurisdiction in W. case, but the Recorder decided that the money had been obtained in Middlesex, and therefore the case was (nought to this curt far trial. James Brewer stated that be was now ro prirencr in Bath Gaul, utder a convictic n for obtaining money by hate pretences, or rather by begging letters. lie had known the prisoner about three years. In July last they both lived at No. 21, Liffingtonstrest, Vauxhall-roar'', and he (witness) showed him a letter which Mr. Collingridge, the prosecutor, had given him, far treatment at the Bath 'Dispensary. Jones took down the address, and wrote a letter to Mr. Cal lingrielge, and directed witness to proceed to Gravesend to pot it. The letter was here pat in. It was as follows : Crave end, July 30, '4l. Sir,—Permit me to address you in a ease of charity at the earnest entreaty of James Brewer a young man whom you have been very tied to on several occasiot:s, and some months ago gave hint 11. 3s. to take film to Leamington. Ile ca. ordered here for the benefit of lica bathing, but the air being too keen fur his delicate frame, he has been advised to endeavour to gain admission to the Consumption iloopitsl • Bromptem, near London.

The writer than proceeded to request that an enclosure might be forwarded to the Gravesend Post-office for Brewer, es he (the writer) was about to leave for Scotland.— (Signed) Join( Score, MD. Witness then continued—He posted eight cr nine other letters at the same time as he posted the cue just read, and when he went to Graveiend, in a few days afterwards, he received several letters in answer to them, including one from Mr. Collingridge, enelosirg a Post-Once order for 31, which he at once got cubed, and one encloriug 61. from the Queen Dowager. He returned to London, and halved the money with the prisoner. Shortly afterwards he went to live at Bath, anti the prisoner and a woman named Farr went to live with him. He was the party referred to in the letter, but it was all fictions about his wonting to get into the Brompton Hospital. The prisoner se ro: e the letter. In cross-examination the witness said he had been a begging letter impostor about three pare having been led into it by a companion of the prisoner named Sullivan, but that he had not got bis lorirg by means of employment since 1843; in which year he was thrown from a coach in the Somerset-road, and was severely hurt. There were two charges against him at Bath; he pleaded guilty to one, and was sentenced to four menthe' imprisonment, with hard labour. Did not expect a mitigation of his sentence, it the prisoner was evicted. _ _ Inspector Tote, of the Bath constabulary, and Brunswick Harrison, • Bath ottieer„ yu.oduced • quantity of begging letters which were found in Brewer's house. obey likewise produced a number of " Court Guides," Dads' and Bight''. Peerages," and Dod's " Parliamentary Companion'," which were found there also. In the crosgexamination of these officers, it transpired that the prisoner wakapprehended on a charge of stealing a gold watch. On searching Brewer's house, these letters were found. Mr Collingridge proved leaving received the letter, and sent the 31. He should certainly not have sent it, had he not believed the representations contained ia the letter were genuine. Mr. Coors, postmaster at Gravesend, proved that the money was paid to the prisoner, who received the letter. There was no Dr. Scott at Gravesend. From evidence then gone into to substantiate the other charge in the indictment, it appeared that when at Bath the prisoner had, by some means, become aware of the circum stance that Mr. Collingridge was remotely related to a fami.y of that name in Northumberland, and he at once assumed the character of a member of that family, and wrote the lollowing letter to Mr. Collingridge. In stating the case to the jury Mr. Phian remarked that this letter was remark able for the "exquisite delicacy" with which the prisoner told what his object was: Bath, August 16, 1049.

Mr. Collusgridge dr posed that in answer to this letter he posted one half of • U. note as desired, and on the receipt of that being acknowledged, he sent the other half. He got a letter of thanks in return, in which the writer prayed for Lis spiritual welfare. The schoolmaster of Bath gaol and Kate Phillips proved the lett. re to be in the prisoner's ban-writing. The latter ' witness was the wife 01 a soldier, and lived at 21, Lillington street, and had frequently seen the prisoner attired as a clergyman. He went occasionally by the names of MONS and Ili( ialay. He told her that he got • good living by writing bossing letters. Mr. Prendergast then, at great length, submitted that the ems could not be maintained, upon the ground that Mr venue had been wrongly laid, the money, in the one strum, having been obtained in Kent, and the other k W 'habits. Mr. Phinn contended that as soon as the prosecutor had • ported with his money, by depositing it in the poet office at Sunbury, the fraud was complete. The learned Judge ultimately said he would reserve the polar for the delusion of the Court of Criminal Appeal. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Phian thought it right that the court should know amending of this man's character. He was one of the moat ingenious impostors in the country, and had, in the guise of a Clergyman, had interviews with the lam Queen Dowager, from whom he had, by representing himself as connected with religious societies, obtained vedette large sums of money. He was the asoosapliee of a man who was recently sentenced In Ewer to trans yorWioa. Hanford, the Mendielty BBoaug7's hoar, said the prisoner had been in custody several dram sink 1847, for imposing en *khaki individuals. Ho had boon convicted three times. The Leaned Judge said that the high sad diatiognished names mentioned in the bundles of letters produced showed not only the impudence and skill of the prisons; but the great extent to which he bad curried this nefarious system.

The °Meer held another forged cheque for the HMO amount, and purporting to be signed by the same drawer upon the same lieu., which cheque had been presented at the house by a female of indi ff erent chi:teeter. John C. Payne, of Holborn Bars, boot and shoemaker, said the prisoner owed me a long-Landing acconnt of 41. 18s., and he called upon me on Monday fortnight, and said he was very sorry he mold not call before, that he bad just received a sum of money on his deceased mother's account, and he came to pay me, if I could change a cheque drawn by a Mr. Bennet, upon Rogers and Co., which he predated. He said, " I should not have brought it to you, sir, but I r. mud it since five o'clock, and I want to be off to n.y work to Kingston the first thing in the morning." I rather demurred as to cashin• the cheque at first, and asked him who Mr. Bennet was; to which Le replied that the gen. timers was his mother's agent, or executor, and was con ducting her affairs. I knew that his mntht r was dead, and, alter come hesitation, I gave him the difference between the debt due to me and the amount of the cheque, or rather, in • mistake, 10s. more. Next morning I felt uneasy about the matter, and 1 went to the balking house and presented it. The clerk wrote upon it " no account ;" and I then applied to the police. A gentleman from Rogua's banking house said the pets .n who had drawn the cheque kept no account at the bons.. The prisoner, upon being asked whether ho was desirous to 2.k any qu scion of the witness, or say anything in ex planation at the cause of the accusation, said " nothing at aU."
