FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ, Secretary. An extensive forgery - has just been detected at Glas. gow. A bleacher these absconded or. Friday se'nnight, after committing forgeries on various individuals, to the amount, it is calculated, of 30001. There is at present great stagnation in the Indigo trade, in consequence of which a meeting of merchants, dealers, and brokegs engaged in it, was held on Monday, at the London Commercial Sale Rooms, at which about one hundred persons attended. The Chair was taken by Mr, CHIATER, when, after a short discussion, resolu tions were ado ted unanimously, that application should he made to the Court of Directors to postpone the sale hied for ti e 17th of J inuary till the middle of April, and that they should be requested to use their influence to the same purpose with the individuals concerned in the private trade ; also that a postponement should take place of the prompt due early in January, on the parties undertaking to increase their deposits, and to pay inte rest for the accommodation. THE MINT.—AII is activity and dispatch at the Mint. The Right Hon. Master (Mr. WALLACE), and every officer of the establishment are at their posts. The Mint has been for some time coining silver for the supply of the It ish cut reticy. That employment is now stepped, and nothing is thought of but a supply of sovereigns fot the Bank. The melter (Mr.Mobet) mentioned in his evidence before the Committees of P4tliament, that with his improved machinery and ordinary dilligence the Mint could coin twelve millions in the year. This rate of dispatch is far short of what tan be accomplished on an. emergency. If supplied with bullion at propet intervals, and on a proper notice, it can coin half a million of pieces in a week. On one occasion, we are informed, 300,000 silver pieces were struck in a day. SINGULAR ACCIDENT TO MR. JEFFERSON. —The A ashington Gazette mentions, that, according to the following narra ive, Mr. Jefferson had a narrow escape for his life : —We have received from Charlottesville the foliose ing account of the matter :.••• 4 ‘ Mr. Browere car ried letters to Mr. Jefferson, and one from Mr. Madison; the letter had submitted to the operation hereafter de- scribed, and represented it as nor painful; and the artist assured Mr. Jefferson that his mode was mete easy than that of an artist who had already taken his bust. He Submitted to the operation. Instead of pursuing the usual course of taking the face at one operation, and the rest of the head at another, the whole was attempted at mice. The placer was permitted to get toe hard, and V.r. Jefferson was nearly suffocated : he had no other node of giving the alarm but by stamping with his feet. This noise alarmed the female part of the family, who Tan into the room in a mon.ont. The plaster was so bard, that it bad to be broken into pieces by means of a hammer and a chisel. The strokes were necessarily licd, and the kits exceedingly distressing. Even alter the mould was . broken, the plaster had taken such fi rm hold on the ears, that Mr. Jefferson was douttftil whe ther they would be pulled off, or the plaster would break. It had to be separated from ether parts of the neck and skin by running a knife between. This operation, in dependent of the suffocation, you will easily conceive, must have been very distressing. I understand that Mr. Jefferson says he had his arm broken, and his wrist put out of joint at the same moment, ;it'd the pain of setting the one, and putting the other in place, was far' less then what this operation occasioned. Would you, believe that this 'eccentric ' artist and letter-n liter nei they sympathised with the pain he had occasioned, nor participated in the solicitude of the family ? On the contrary, he was congr .tulating himself with the ex• actness of the likeness, and unfeelingly jested about the pain and distress. His sensibility ss as alike blunted to' t,.e evidences of displeasure occasioeed by his untimely hutrieur. The cortconsical letter he has written on the subject caps the diaras of his scceatrieity." i LAW REPOR COURT OF CHANCERILDscwas 20.. LADY ANSON N. ERITISH MINING COMPANY. Mr. PAPIS and Mr. BICKERSTITR were heard in con tinuation of the argument of yesterday, in support of the motion for injunction and account as to the working of certain mines in which the plaintiff claims to hold shares, some in partnership and ethers as security. Mr. HEALD, for the defendants, rested for the pre sent upon thr insufficiency of the proceedings, there, being only three persons out of the whole Company before the Court. • The Loan Cl/ANCF.LLOR observed, that Lady Anson's claim might admit of two definitions—that of partner. ship and that of mortgagee. If mat claim were to be pursued under the latter character, the remt-dy would be by foreclosure and save ; if the first, then there must be sale with dissolution of partnership. But how WAS he to decide for either with only three of the defeid.l ants, out of a great number who were interested, before this Court? His Loausuir rose early, having to attend the Council, to re ceive the Recorder's Report. PLYMOUTH EA NK. IN THE MATTER OF SIR WILLIAM ELYORD AND OTHERS, BANKRUPTS. Mr. GLYNN said, in consequence of his Lordship's judgment being suspended in thematter, it might be necessary to have an order now, that the public meet ings of ;he creditors should be postponed. Thursday was the first day, and Friday the second for meetings, and if there was a probability, or even a trance of tl.e present commission being superseded, the expense of those meetings might be considered as Fe, reedy un necessary. He would only farther say, that since the matter was discussed here a few days agn, additional affidavits had been filed, from which it appeared, that Vie statement of the amount of the extent on the part of the Cio.vn had been very much exaggerated, because' at first it had been said, that it amounted to 50,0001. whereas it now appeared not to exceed 1,5001. Mr. HORNE, on the same side, said, there was ano ther fact that the Court ought to be apprised of, which was, that the creditors of the bankrupts mere ex• ceedingly numerous, and dispersed over the whole of the country. Mr. GLYNN, under these circumstances, did not' know whether Mr. Montagu, who, on the former oc-1 casion, opposed the superseding of the commission, st.ll thought it his duty to persist in that opposition. Mr. MONTAGU said, from the statement of the re duction in the amount of the extent, from the considera tion of the vast number of creditors that the bank had —from the consideration of their being so widely dis persed—from his conviction of their not agreeing to any settlement among themselves were they to meet, and from his personal feeling being such, as to the badness of the present commission, he could not con scientiously advise his client to attempt to support ; he would submit to its being superseded. His LORDSHIP observed, that taking the amount of the extent to be 1,5001. if that claim were resisted, the expenses might soon amount to as much more, and if the commission at last failed, it might rather be a benefit than an injury to the body of creditors that the commission should now be superseded. All Counsel were of the same opinion. His LORDSHIP then said, as the matter had taken this turn it was not necessary for him to say more on the point of law, than simply, that his present opinion was, that the commission could not stand ; therefore, it would, undoubtedly, be (or the benefit of tie general body of creditors. that the commission should be superseded, and that the same creditor should be at liberty immediately to take out another, and which was accordingly ordered. COURT OF RING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, Dic.l9. WILCOX V. MARSHALL. This action was brought on a policy of insurance, founded upon a bottomry bond executed at Dartmouth, between the plaintiff aad defendant. The insurance was on a vessel from Havre to St. Sebastian, with a cargo of tobacco. The plaintiff alleged that the ship was lost by the perils of the sea. The question was whether the ship proceeded on her voyage to St. Sebastian ; or whether the object was to remain on the English coast for the purpose of landing tobacco? It appeared that the ship, which was turned the Heider, was at Havre de Grace in the - month of June, 1824. She sailed and put into Dartmouth in July. She left that harbour, and was obliged to return again, when she struck on a rock, and was in a dangerous state. Waving received repairs, the vessel sailed once more, and springing a leak in the Channel, went down soon after the crew 1-ft her. It was contended that the, circumstances under which the ship remained so long upon the coast of England were suspicious, and that the underwriters ere justified in withholding the amount of the policy until the question came before a Jury—The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. GWITHLAN V. TURKEY. This action was brought by the plaintiff, a merchant at Oporto, against the defendant, a wine merchant, to recover 721. The action was founded upon a supposed false repre.entation, all. ged to have been made by Mt. Tuckey to the plaintiff's agent. The defendant was asked whether a person named Burton, who cart ied on business at Poole, in Dorset shite, was competent to pay for four pipes of wine? Mr. Tuckey represented him to be a man of property, who was to receive a fortune with his wife. The wine was accordingly furnished, and a bill of nine months taken in paymeut. The bill was dishonoured, and the wine fell into Vie hand, of the defendant, who became A judgment creditor against Burton. Under these facts it was contended that the plaintiff had lost his wine through the deceit of the defendant, who had a l ipti-cl the wine to liquidate part. of his own debt. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 721. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Ditealasaa ^-0 . BROWN V. MAY, GENT. This was an action brought against the defendant, for having published several libels t f and concerning the character of the plaintiff. The plaintiff was a Dis tenting Clergyman, and the defendant an attorney, and both parties were residents in the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal-green, and had taken part in the disputes of that parish. It aivi.eated, that on a contested election of Vestry Clerk, libels had been published on both sides. The pre,ea defendant had brought an action against Mr. Brown, which was ttied in the Court of King's Bench, when that Gentleman tried to gise in evidenc • the libels which he said Mr. May had published ag..inst him. 'The Court, however, refused the evidence, ! leaving Mr. Broun .to bring his cross-action, and a 1 11.1s:ha was, ihtleiOrep taken for Mr. May, to whom the Jury awarded a sum of 100/. as damages. Mr. Brown was subsequently taken under a writ of t'apias ad Satisfaciendum, issued by Mr. Mat,. on the verdict and judgment given in the Court of King's Bench, and on that suit he still rensained in custody. The CHM? JUSTICE recommended that some course should by adopted to put all the causes of dispute at rest, and the plaintiff. wfmse Counsel declared his o.lly wish vi as peace, offered to withdraw a Juror, on con dition that he should be liberated from prison on the execution issned at the suit of Mrs May. After some hesitation, the defendant's Counsel accepted the offer, which the Chief Justice said was very fair and honour. able. The result of this is, that each party pays his own cosu. LIBEL.—PICKERSOILL V. THWAITES. The plaintiff is a vendor of certain specifics, and the defendant the Editor and joint-proprietor of the Morn ing Herald Newspaper. The ac.ion was brought to recover compensation in damages for a libel inserted in that paper on the 28th March last. Mr. Serjeant TADDY stated the caw. He began by expressing his regret that matters of liSel had been so frequently discussed in this Court. But still he hived that in the discussion of this question, some good won d be derived ;o the public. He admitteJ that the public press was a great and useful engine when well dire.. ted, and very properly was made the guardian of our liber• ties, and with th e se liberties, our happiness. Wit when directed aga'nst private character, its mischievous effects could not be too much reprobated nor too severely punished. The plaintiff was a vendor of De TC O'S medicine, living in a shop in the Strand, when another person named Canham, caused an advertitement to be inserted in t!.e charring Herald of the 28th March last. (Here the Learned Serjeant read the libel, and it pur ported to be an attack of a rival upon the pretensions of the plaintiff. The rival's name Gotham, lyit has lately died ) The pretensions of the plaintiff wre caller] impostures, his medicine a deadly compound, and his conduct dark and dangerous. No man ought, in duty to himself, to tolerate such libels upon his charactir and conduct, at!.cl to recover compensation for the injury thus inflicted upon him he now brought this action. _ _ The proprietorship of the defendant was admitted. The paper of the 28th of March, containing the alleged libel (in the advrrtisement pzge),was also put in and read, and the license to sell medicines. James Layer—l know the shop 466. in the Strand. I once bought medicine there, some time ago. De Veluo's Syrup was sold there, of which 1 bought some. Cross-examined—The shop was small; I was not so unfortunate as to take Pickersgill's syrup. William Pickersgiil examined—l am the son of the plaintiff; several chemists buy De Velno's Syrup. After March our business almost totally declined. Cross-examined—l know Berner's•street very well ; we began the shop about November last year. I know Mr. White of Cambridge. My father assisted su aw ins schedules for insolvent debtcrs before he opened this shop. My father advertised in The Herald (a manuscript put into the witness's hand). I cannot say that I took this to the dewspaper. My father did not manufacture the medicine; I think he sold two hundred bottles. Mr. White might have assisted my father with money, but I don't know that he paid the rent of the house. I did not hear my father say he was the agent to White. George Busby White was called upon his subpoena, but he did not appear. Mr. Serjeant SPANICIR (with whom was Mr. S. TAY- Loa) addressed the Jury for the defendant. He la mented the many cases of libel which came before them, but he thought in most cases, that people might be left to themselves. This was a contest between Quack Doctors, and the smallest possible damages would sa tisfy the justice of the case. Here there was no malice. The libel complained of was inserted amongst the other advertisements, and, in truth, this action was only brought to puff off the De Velno's medicine for the plaintiff. From following the vocation of drawing schedules, and giving open air to insolvents, he as sumed the most analogous occupation, and smoothed the passage of the ailing to the realms of bliss. Mine was no proof of the value or composition of this medi cine, and if it were not good in itself, its vendor could not look for damages for the loss of so pet ilous a calling. The LORD CillEt JUSTICR, in recapitulating the ev►- dence, observed, that newspaper proprietors were an swerable, and ought to be made answerable, for the in seitiol of libels in their journals; and perhaps they would be taught by the lesson of this day not to insert, in the shape of advertisements, matters of an indelicate and disgusting nature, which daily meet the eye of every member of every family. The paper containing the libel was one in general circulation, and it would be for the Jury (iii the absence of all proof of special da mage) to award the plaintiff reasonable compensation. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Shilling. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. , 10-- GUILDHALL. The examination of T. Grey, charged with defrauding a miller of two quantities of Sour, was resumed. The Alderman, after hearing the minute of the former examination read, was of opinion the prosecutor had given credit, and that the charge of fraud was at an end. The only remaining question was, whether the bill was fictitious? To prove this, the prosecutor was called, who stated that the Bill was addressed to Messrs. Bond and Co. of the Fast and West India Chambers, Fenchurch-strett ; and no such place or firm was to be found iu that street. _ _ Mr. Butler, on the part of the prisoner, proved that there was such a firm at the Else India Chambers, Ltscienhall street, for nine months, especially at the time this bill was drawn and became due. He also stated that it was to be found in the Directory for 1824 He expected to be able to produce the per son who, under a power of attorney, accepted the bill in the name of Bond and Co. _ _ After a great deal of discussion, the prisoner was remanded. BO W-STR EET. Yesterday, Mr. ItlinrEn, of llamptonlA'ick, and another market gardener, appeared to summonses on account of their carters having Mopped the passage, by drawing up and remaining wit►out the denter stone in Cove:it-Garden market. The case was proved, and the parties being called on for their defence, they said they bad not room for their carts unless they did draw up in the place al leged. If they did not do so they could not bring their commodi ties to market. . Mr. HALLS said, he would not enter into an examination of the necessity which they might have of so doing; they were summoned according to the provisions of a certain Act of Parliament; they had inftinged these provisions, as the witnesses proved, and there fore be had but one duty to perform, which was to fine them. They must, therefore, pay a fine of 40s, and costs. Miss Catherine Baker, alias MI Pitt, a stately, full-blown damsel, who, within five short years, has descended from all the pride of courtezanship—satin garments, and nodding plumes, and sparkling jewels, and costly wines—to rags, dirt, and drunkenness among the draggle-tailed drabs of Drury; was brought before. Mr. Hams, yesterday, charged with having knocked down, bruised, battered, and otherwise ill treated one Luke Everitt, an honest Emerald watchman of Sr. Paul, Covent Garden.

Yesterday, Mr. Mathews, a highly respectably mercer, of Orrot4. street, was charged with obstructing an Annoyance Jury. It appeared, front the statement of several of the Jurors, that, during their perambulation, they entered the defendant's shop, zal found he had no standard yard measure, but only had a certain distance nailed off on the counter, which was not only improper. but against the Statute, which required every person to have a standard stamped measure. Upon their remonstratinz, hr very unceremoniously proceeded to turn them into the meet, fo: sL,.h they now sought redress. Mr. Mathews defied them to prove he traded unriirli ; his yard measure was as fair as any man's in England, althoL„,h, pet haps not stamped. He protested against the interference of a few no. pertinent and prying persons, vested with a •' little brief authority," who always acted partially.
