Reexamined.—Mr. Hambridge afterwards said, he had never seen the bill before. Mr. Edward Rowland, a banker of Carlisle, proved that he had never heard of such a person there, though he had an occasion to make minute inquiry, as C. W. Rowland. Mr. ADOLPHUS, in the defence, adduced a witness named George Clark, who stated himself to be a master shoe-maker, residing at No. 75, St. John street, Clerkenwell ; that in November last a person named Hallowell, then carrying on business as a re spectable coachmaker, in Long-acre, came to him, and presented to him the bill which was the subject of this prosecution, and requested him to purchase for him with it a quantity of hosiery of different sorts, and referred him to the banking-house of Messrs. Robarts and Curtis, to inquire as to the validity of the bill, and particularly that of the drawer, Mr. C. W. Rowland, of Carlisle. That he accordingly went there and made the inquiry, and that a young Gen tleman, clerk in the house, who was a native of Car lisle, and lately come from thence, named Richard Hodson, was called to answer the inquiry ; that the bill was put into his hands, and that he gave a most satisfactory account of Mr. Rowland, of Carlisle, whose name appeared on the bill ; that he, Mr. Clark, having no further doubts on the subject, went' to the prisoner, whom he had known, and uho had frequently obliged him by discounting small bills, and gave him the order for the hosiery and the bill, l stating at the same time the answer he had received from Messrs. Roberts and Curtis. That in conse quence of this the packages came to his house. He did not open them nor know their contents; nor had he desired them to be sent to him ; nor had he any thing to do with the transaction, save merely what he had stated ; and that he gave the order and the bill to the prisoner, merely from a sense of thanks for his former civilities to him. The goods were taken from his house by a person from Mr. Hallowell, whom he had known in reputable business for a year and a half, and had no notion at the - time, of his in tention to leave the country ; nor was he surprised at his giving an order for a quantity of hosiery, because he understood at the time Hallowell was shipping a quantity of different merchandize for foreign mar kets. lie knows nothing more of Hallowell now, but understands that lie is gone to the West Indies. The witness underwent a long Cross-examination from Mr. ALLEY, and he positively denied knowing any thing of those goods being sent to Messrs. Mose ley, Woolfe, and Cohen, to be sent to the East In dies. He knew nothing of Rowland, nor Abbott, of Manchester. John White, brother to the prisoner, said, he is a general broker; and was requested by his brother, after he had got this bill into his possession, to make further inquiry at the house of Robarts, Curtis, and Co. about this bill: that he put the bill into the hands of the Clerk there before-mentioned, and received the same satisfactory account of Rowland, the ostensible drawer, that Clark had. received. Mr. Richard Hodson, clerk in the house of Ro berts and Co. recollected• some inquiry made there respecting Mr. Rowland, of Carlisle, and a bill being put into his hand at the same time, as the occasion of the inquiry. He did not know the amount, and did not minutely inspect the bill, nor look at the name, " W. C. Rowland," signed thereto ; but that he an swered he knew a Mr. Rowland, of Carlisle, a most respectable man. He knew that Gentleman by sight and general reputation, but did not know his Chris tian name, he was formerly a timber-merchant, but had some time resigned that business. A number of most respectable traders in the City of London were then examined to the prisoner's cha racter, all of whom had intimately known the priso ner for longer and shorter series of years, and gave him an excellent character for respectability and in tegrity, in his conduct and reputation. ;VIT iRAHAM summed up the evidence for without the least hesitation, returned Guilty. the Counsel for the prosecution, then prisoner be detained to take his trial indictment found against him for con upon a transaction wholly distinct it, and he was detained accordingly. orsick, a Portuguese Jew, resident in this 35 years, was next tried upon an In- L'orging and uttering a will, purporting . will and testament of William Ander seaman on board the Batavia Indianian, 'defraud Messrs.

SIR—As the decisions of a local Gland Jury have disappointed the expectations of the people of Eng land, it may be worth while to afford them present consolation by specifying the means which the Con stitution still presents of verifying that legal adage, which asserts that " wherever there is a wrong there is a remedy." In the first place, it may be observed, that the de cision of one Grand Jury is not conclusive of the right of appeal to others, even within the same juris diction ; and that, if it be necessary, the wounded, and the friends of the killed, may apply to ten Grand Juries in succession, and in this case, such repeated applications are a duty which their country will ex pect theni to perform. But the Grand Jury for the district where crime has been committed, is not the only Institution of this kind to which the injured need appeal. it is not generally known, however, though at this moment the information cannot fail to be acceptable—that the Sheriff of Middlesex strikes for every term A GRAND INQUEST FOR ALL ENGLAND, which assem bles at Westminster, and consists of the most respec table individuals in the Metropolitan County, whose jurisdiction, in criminal matters, extends over the kingdom, and whose instruments, headed " ENG LAND to WIT," ate addressed to all Sheriffs and other Authorities within the realm. To this Grand Inquest at Westminster, therefore, it is competent for the Solicitors in behalf of the Suf ferers, to appeal for indictments against the criminal parties, whether Magistrates, armed Yeomanry, or others ; and as it may be supposed, that this body Neill not decide under the influence of any local pre judices or personal connections, it may be presumed that the great public question at issue may thus be brought to a hearing before a Petty Jury. Indeed, it seems to have been the wise intention of the con trivers of this I: aramount Inquest that it should take cognizance of any questions which, from the opera tions of human weaknesses or passions, cannot, in a local jurisdiction, be impartially or dispassionately dotermined. Of course, in actions for damages, which every one who was unlawfully wounded, seems to have a clear right to maintain, no preliminary assent of any Inquest is necessary: and, I presume, motions may be made for criminal infoimations to the Court of King's Bench, where the law, by its oracles, cannot fail to he honourably expounded, and fairly applied. With these several remedies, provided by the wis dom of our ancestors, though we have lost the Right of Appeal for Murder, there can be little doubt but justice will ultimately triumph, although, from some of these unavoidable circumstances which are inci dental to human affairs, it may, for the present, have bee❑ deferred. RICHARD PHILLIPS. Brighton, September 18, 1819. OLD BAILEY. ',4 :, ~ t. Yesterday, Bartholomew White was indicted for fcrging a Bill of Exchange for the sum of £lBO. The prisoner was a man of a most respectable ap pearance, about the age of 40, and formerly followed the business of a hosier, in Wood•street, Cheapside. Joseph Wheatly stated, that Le was a hosiery ma nufacturer at Leicester. The prisoner was employed to sell goods for him in London, and, had a shop in Wood -street, Cheapside ; there were two others em ployed with the prisoner ; he was first employed in the beginning of 1818, and he particularly instructed him not to trust any Jews, or to take ready-made bills. In December last witness received a bill for £lBO. (Here the bill was produced. It was re ceived in a letter in the hand-writing of the prisoner.) In a fortnight after, witness came to town to inquire respecting this ready-made bill, which had been sent I• , ; ;;;,. i • , i ' • r t • . • 1 • ' £lBO. (Here the bill was produced.

When he came to town, he asked who Mr. James Laws (the endorser of the bill) was? The prisoner replied, that Mr. Laws was a respectable merchant, who was gone to Portugal, and continu- ally passed to and fro from England to Portugal. Witness then asked him, "If this bill is not paid by racier, all of whoa ner for longer and him an excellent c tegrity, in his cone Baron GRA the Jury, who, wii a verdict of Not GI Mr. ALLEY, the moved, that the pt upon a Bill of Ind Laws, how arll I to find the titan who will pay it ?" spiracy, founded t He said, the drawer was Rowland,. it timber met"- from the present, - - chant, living at Carlisle.

COMMERCE. . . LONDON MARKETS, SEPTEMI42II COCTON.-The purchases of Cotton since Tuesday last have been very limited, owing chiefly to the ex tensive sale declared by the East India Company Ist proximo, and the opinion that it will be materially increased. The sales of Cotton are 50 Boweds, fair quality, 131 d. to 14d. in bond ; 65 Demerara and Berbice, 17i. and 18d. and 100 Bengals, in the house, at lid. good common quality. The public sale of Cotton this forenoon went off heavily, and at rather lower prices ; 40 bags good Demeraras 16Id. and 16111. 116 ,Carricou, fair average quality, sold 15d. to 151 d. Importations of Cotton since our last: 1,650 bales Bengal, and eight bales West Indias. SUGAR.-The market last week contineed in a very depressed state, and the few sales of Muscovades, by private contract, were at a considerable decline.- This forenoon there were no sales by private con tract, as the buyers would not purchase until the re sult of the public sale was ascertained ; it consisted of 404 hhds. 11 tierces Jamaica Sugar, newly im ported, and of a very excellent quality ; the whole went off steadily; in a few instances the first lots were 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower, but as the sale ad vanced the prices improved ; and at the close the prices may be stated fully as high as at the last pub lic sale ; the greater proportion of the Sugars were parcels suitable refiners, and, as the trade have not been at market lately, they were bought freely, froth 58s: eui. to 625. the prices of the lowest were 575. and 575. 6d. thelower descriptions of browns selling much higher in proportion to the middling and finer de scriptions ; the highest price realized was 755. for very fine. The public sale of Barbadies Sugar went eff freely, much higher'in proportion to the other de scriptions, and better than had been generally anti cipated ; fine white realized 84s. to 86s. ordinary and middling-755. 6d. to 81s. yellow 68s. 6d. to 725. There were considerable purchases of refined early last week ; yet, notwithstanding this demand, and the scarcity of goods, the prices declined considerably, on account of the fall in raw Sugars. Molasses were steady. There have been few enquiries for Foreign Sugars lately. COFFER.-There were no purchasesby private con tract this forenoon ; the public sales consisted of Ja maica, Demerara, St. Domingo, and Brazil Coffee, forming a criterion of the market prices ; 130 bags good ordinary Brazil sold 1065.6 d. ordinary 1045.6 d. 400 bags St. Domingo, good ordinary, realized 111 s. 6d. 15 hhds. fine ordinary 112 s. the Demerara and Berbice Coffee fully supported the previous prices; good ordinary, in extensive parcels, selling at 114 s. to 115 s. 6d. the Jamaica descriptions went off very irregularly ; fine ordinary, a little mixed, selling as low as 107 s. 6d. and good ordinary, greatly inferior, realizing Io6s. ordinary middling sold at 1153.6 d. to 1 1 Bs.middling :o good middling realizing 1275. and 128 s. a few lots middling Dominica sold at 1265. Generally of the Coffee market it may be stated, that the ordinary descriptions of Jamaica arc lower, but at very fluctuating and irregular prices ; the Dutch fully supports the former prices ; the quo tations of St. Domingo were previously nominal, they are now the realized prices, I I Is. to 114 s. the Brazil Coffee has sold at very low rates. CocoA.-By public sale 16th inst.-12 casks 166 bags Trinidad Cocoa, sold 98s. to 100 s. ed. oaacco.--There is some enquiry after cargoes of Tobacco ; and some business is reported at 995. and 4.05. for Virginia cargoes. bum PnovistoNs.-The extensive- contract with Government was last week taken by Messrs. Cal laghan and Co. of Cork ; 24,000 tierces Beef and Pork in the aggregate, at £7.125. 6d. per tierce, and £5. 2s. 6d. for the barrels. There has been little effbct produced on the market-price by the conclusion of the contract, and being now at the close of the old season for Provisions, and immediately previous to the opening of the new, there is some difficulty in giving correct prices. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Rum mar ket continues in a very depressed statt ; the prices are nearly nominal, on account of the few sales lately effected. Brandy is also very heavy. There are no enquiries after Geneva. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-The Tallow market has beceme heavy, chiefly owing, it is stated, to the very extensive imports. Hemp and Flax are also in limited request, though no reductionshaSyet been submitted to. By the last accounts frorri St. Peters , - burgh the Exchange remained at /Old. NAVAL STORES.-There have been some consider able sales of Stockholm Tar. Turpentine is little varied.
