NIMP THA . :FEELE FORGER. •- .7•01 Peek, alias . 'Patel, an account of whose men- Conroe gave on Saturday, was prosecuted at the in stanceror the Committee of London Bankers, associated for mutual protection against forgery, which has of late been the cause of such eztensive mischiet in the corn nsercial world; The career of this unfortunate man was very extraordinary tni•.. The vivacity ofkitad • dresirUesralliKincrall suspiciron from the minas of, the muttitujes whom he plundered by the boldest•sys• reap of fcausi.withik:the recollection of the bar. Watson 1 wai most respectably connected, and had the advantage of ii lickOi education and much general acquaintance with the world. He had served his apprenticeship with the firm of Messrs. Cowley and Sancton, in Cateaton street, and he remained in the einployonint -of theist 1 Gentlemen until about six or seven years ago, when he went into hdsineso jointly with.a Mr. Henry, under the' firm of Henry- 1 0d Peels, in Merk-fitise. He was an only son, and bad been to his unhappy father one of the' bitterest afiliciions which can befall a parent. He soon availed himself of the opportunities which his new con dition presented to him, and began to send forgeries round the 064 nay: He succeettad to an imaging extent; but his father, whose fortune hid been some time sinking tinder the extravagance of the profligate, ascertained the rite& of the plunder, paid all the bills, and, in the e, hope that hision was still corrigible,sent him to America and We West Indies, and supplied him with the means of obtaining a comfortable livelihood. Instead, how- i of profiting by this timely interference, it was evident that he employed , the period of his absence from England in hatching and maturing plans on a more extensive and complete system of fraud, and that he determined, immediately upon his return, to com mence operations. It has been ascertained, beyond all dimbt, that for two years before his apprehension, he had subsisted in a mop dashing and extravagant style by forgeries alone ythat he fancied that detection was impossible, and that, there is not a county in England in which he had not, as he used to say himself, with ,a laugh, to a fompanion of his pleasures, " left his mark." He had assumed the name of George Watson. and travelled sometimes in a handsome stanhope, and at other times in an elegant double-bodied phaeton, accompanied by the female whom he had met with at Portsmouth, and used to call Mrs. Watson, and to whom lie bad at first represented himself as a man pos. sessed. of immense wealth in America and the West Indies. ingeniously drew and circulated as foreign , bills most of those which he forged, and dated them as funks either of the West India Islands or some part of ' the United States of America; so that he not only evaded the stamp duties, but totally destroyed one clue to *discovery which might have taken place, had he been 'ohligecl to purchase stamps at each place where %anon& tt.convenient or necessary to raise **ivied: it may appear singular how. Peelecould so lung isndssn' successfully, under any circumstances, have proceeded in this course without impediment ; but the surprise will abatis; %hen it is mentioned, that he always had hun-. slick' of blank bills about him, and that be very seldom issued Any for a large amount; sn tbat the sufferers frefertel the course of leaving him to take his M den- , gerciiii chance," to the expensive and unprofitable labour of bringing him to justice. When. at length, at the instance of the Committee, the police followed him through England, they found that in almost every place of any consequence at which they inquired about him, he had " left his mark" upon the bankers, cir the innkeepers, or both. The circumstances which led to the prosecution that succeeded against him were re- T anarkable. In the latter end of May, 1025, Peele visited Tunbridge Wells, and presenting himself at the .banking house of Messrs. Beeching and Sons, he said he h.rd taker( a house at the Wells for five months, and wished t.i know wheher they had any objection to open an account for him* during thakpetiod. They consented, and he presented two bills of exchange for 301. and 351. putorting to be accepted .by. Coutts and Co. in Lon don. The bills were immediately discounted by Messrs. Beeching through their clerk, and Peele indorsed the . Mune " George Watson" upon them, and received the amount in cash. As a further inducement to Messrs. Beeching to open an account with him, and to give colour to his practices, he gave to them a deposit note of the Carlisle Bank in has favour for 2751. lls. 6d. . which he wished them to present to that Bank through Mitsterman and Co. who were their London agents, as well as - the agents of the Carlisle Bank. The deposit stole was accordingly sent down to Messrs. Connell and Co. at Carlisle, who, in due course, apprised Messrs. Westerman that it had been obtained from them for a bill of exchange, for which Peele had got besides a con siderable sum of money, but which, on its maturity, was discovered to be a forgery from beginning to end: It was wondered how the prisoner could get acquainted with, the signets'. es and mode of business of the dia..' refit parties whose names he used; but upon inquiry *it was found that be had invariably presented himself to the notice of the bankers ;nth@ plat aa ,where he nego tiated the,bills by taking to them .bakk-notes, and get ting in exchange bills on some London - house; and he took care to select those billswhich"hed manynames upon them, the whole of which he would immediately copy in 20 different ways on various bills, and having dune so, be would'take the genuine bills, and others of his own cnmjilefe Manufacture ' to the banking houses, where the.yood biUs never failed to be a passpost to the Spurious. Thus he sometimes made the genuine paper, subservient to his plans of passing off counterfeit, and sometimes the latter, as in the case of the Carliiie bank, subservient to the procuring of genuine bills, and both with Uninterrupted success. In addition to the two bills on Coutts and Co. Peele also deposited with Messrs. Berthing .and• Co. two other bills, one for 301. purport ing to be drawn by Alexander and James Liddell, of Dundee, and accepted by Messrs. Robinson and Brow., 'of Glasgow, apd the other for 371. l 11.6 d. datedAntigue, 16th February, and purporting to be drawn by Na thaniel Underwood upinn and accepted by Meagre.' Sames Bell' and Sons, of Leith, not one of which perioas is, br ever was, in existence. These preciOns bilk Peek requested' Messrs. Beeching to hold for him and cause to tie presented when due, and he contrived to get upon them an advance of 201. for which he drew a check in his assumed name of " George Watson." Having thus obtained the amount of the two forged bilk end the 901.0 n the two other bills deposited, Peele thou ght it high tinie to decamp, and taking the route by Maidstone to Rochester, he came to Londop, accompanied by the' woman be kept, and her mother and sister, who rode Os lv post-chaise, whilst he drove* to town in his phenols., AI Maidirone he pot up at 11r. hotel, and oecceested in getting cash frogs him fOr another forged chicA for 201. on Messrs. Berthing and Sons, by whom it was alp/wards paid, on the faith of the securities which had been lift with ibetn. A, day.or two lift r bpi AL parsons, she deposttente was returnid firm Ckrlisle, and it weedtketovered that the whole of the bills and eremi tic,s were forgeries. Instant search wa s made f o i P ee t e ,,, but he flew from place to place. At length Mr. Gates. the solicitor to the. bankers committee, received intelli gence that he was at Newark. in Nintinghamshire and started from London, attended 'by an officer, fit ; that place. Adversity had, however, already begun its work with Peek... A-Derbyshire publican, -upon whom he had passed a forged bill, spied him at •his wine; and never left him till his body was ander lock and prey in Derby gaol. Peels was committed for trial for utter ing this bill, which was for 451. and Mr, Gates went to Derby prepared to lodge detainers against him, or have him taken into custody in the event of an acquittal there ; bat on his arrival at Derby, the solicitor found that it was Peele's s intention to plead guilty to the charge of uttering the bill, that the prosecutor would, in all probability, be paid his debt as an inducement to join in the recommendation of the prisoner to Mercy, and that Peele might escape if the remaining charges against him were permitted to sleep. Mr. Gates, therefore, a. plied to the Lord Chief Baron, who was in commission i at Derby, to have Peele removed to Maidstone pre viously to his trial at Derby, and under the circum stances of so many chitties existing.in Kent, and after consultation as to the most eligible course, it was ar ranged that no bill should be preferred at Derby, but that upon Peele's discharge by proclamation he should be handed over to a police officer in attendance, with a warrant from Sir Richard Birnie. This was done, and .Peele was committed to Maidstone gaol. •It appeared that . Peek had, in fact, taken a house at Tunbridge Wells, as be had represented to Messrs.' Seething and Sons. A day or two after he took the house, he was seen by his landlord's son apparently in great affliction, and he said that his brother, who had, Fended at Dover, died the moment he got ashore, sad' , must be buried at once, for which purpose it would be necessary for him to be absent from his house some days. This was found to have been stated in order to mould for his absence,which had become indispensable, the moment of discovery being at band. T l e t a is said that Peele,up to the lot moment, had hopes of being sa . His spirits were u mercurial u possible a short time be fore his manioc. Amongst bis letters, which were band in the possession of the woman with wheat he lived, were the fullownag, which are curious— Bryilaton, Friday night, S o'clock.

USSIIEIIIO/1 AND GLASGOW CANAL.—It has been ,rtitisoured, that this great undertaking which has heen l 'of such incalculable benefit to the na:tropOlis of Scot land, has, since the great alteration which has overtaken the mercantile world, been a good deal embarrassed, in consequence of large 'ems of money being borrowed, and even pressed upon the company, during the days of plenty, being csl4d up, and the several individuals wbohad subscribed bonds in favour of the company being required to discharge them. A meeting of the whole company took place on Thursday fast, in order fo consider whether new stock should be created to pay 4 the debt incurred, or whether an assessment should be made upon the' proprietors for the liquidation of these pressing demands, amounting to 120,0001. Of these two measures the latter was adopted, mad we are happy to learn that 110,0001. was subscribed beim? the meeting broke up.—Cakdoitias Mereatry. DUNDlS.—Wednesday morning about one o'clock, a large building in the Seagate, used as gramaries, and-. denly became a mass of ruins. The catastrophe is et tributed to the great quantity of grails, some say up-. wards of two thousand bolls, which the building con tained, and which now lies scattered among the rubbish. The accident has unfortunately been attended with the loss of life. A small apartment, contigOous to a home fronting the street, in which a young man lay asleep, was, with its inmate buried in the ruins. His lifeless body was got out about three hours afterwards. At a numerous party at tea on Thursday, in Glas gow, a young Gentleman, by way of amusing the com pany, was telling a humorous story, which excited universal laughter. All were happy and delighted. But a Miss 1 1 --, of most respectable connections in Edinburgh, and who had been at Glasgow on a visit to a friend for a few days only, was so overpowed, that, during a fit of laughter, she suddenly dropped from her chair, and instantly expired.—Seeterneri. A few days ago, as some harriers, near Worcester, were passing over a. piece of fallow, a person with them thought he observed the head of a duck moving just above ground. On - apfroaching the spot, he found such was the fact, and he extricated the poor animal from its tomb to which, no doubt, Reynard had con signed it; and, by way of making “ assurance double sure," had pressed the earth down with his feet! But the dock having got its bead free, Reynard was de prived of his anticipated meal; for which, -indeed, be seemed in no hurry, as the duck had been incarceratid at least 48 hours. .ICE ..81,..aiwom.
