• SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY. The Fourth Anniversary Pinner of the above Society was held e t the City of Lennon Tavern yesterday evening. WILLIA 31 MANNING. Esq., M.P. in the Chair. The dinner, which coiner, liended almost every delicacy of the ‘si on, was furnished by Messrs. Peacock, the ever of the tote of London Torero. th e professional tinge, in attendance were Messrs. J. Smith, Broadhurst, C. Tat lot..l'vetell, Loathe, and Master Smith. Immediately atter the cloth was remmred, The Cnoia YON gave " The King," which was drunk with en ' ihneem. Anthem—" ankh see the King." Then followed—" The Royal Family," and " The Duke of Auk and the Army." Olee—" How merrily we lire that Soldiers be." In rising to propose " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," The Coats Nos said. that the Institution had received his Royal Hightiess's warmest support, and that thia toast bad poth oler claims upon the attention of the assembly. Drunk with uni vosal applause. seng-.." Rule Britannia." , Vice-Admiral Sir R. K two returned thanks, on the part of his &yid Highness the Poke of Clarence, and regretted that circutn gauss prevented his Royal Highness from attending. The CHAIRMAN then gave •• The Health,of Prince Leopold." Snit by Master Smith—" When winds blow soft along the rime deep." The Cuoiastow said. that in proposing " Success to the Sea • men's Hospital Society," ho felt there could be no difference of opinion. In the short period tsf four years, no less than 3.360 sea. I reo had been relieved by the Society, who would have suffered all the pain and horrors of disease, if It had not been for the humane o n extended by this Institution. Drunk with three times three. / Solo by 31r. Taylor—" Jack Rhino's a curious and whimsical elf." The CHAIRMAN said, there was another toast which he should tee the honour to propane, without fear of incurring the sure - lure of the company. He meant the health of a Noble individual who was expected to have filled the situation to which be had been , 00 p e eteelle called—one who would hay% filled that situation with ouch more ability, and in a manner, he doubted not, more sada glory to the assembly — he Applause.) That N'ible Lord had been prevented by particular crcumetarces from attending this day, but his heart was with Mem, sod on every occasion he had proved himself the ardent and • ndefatigakie friend of the InePtation—Drunk with three times three. The CHAIRMAN then gave—" 'The Ladies, subscribes to this t harity."—Drunk with the usual honours. Solo by Mr. Broadhurst—" Sing, sing. Music was given." The nest toast was, " The Vice-Preskinits." Mr. liver tea remised thanks. Then followed, " The Committee of Manae,•ement." Captain BOWLES, R.N. in returning thanks, observed, that the Conmotee considered themselves stewards and trustees for carrying • into effrethe friendly and excellent objects of this benevolent In. • Mutton. It was highly satisfactory to be able to state, that this Insatution, after a trial of four years, had fully answered the ex pectation of those hy whom it had been established. Beyond all - doubt It had relieved a greater proportion of human misery sod suf. tering than any similar Institution had done in the same limited hue of time, and possessing the same limited means. The oreat assiduity of the officers in their several departments was Melly praiseworthy and creditable to them. The good order and regale no which prevails on board the Grampus, is to be attributed to Ow unremitting exertions. • The increasing exertions and exem. ph:, good conduct of Lieutenant Nl'Cleay, the superintendent, was unhy of particular notice. The supporters and well-wishers of tee Institution could not too strongly confess their gratitude to the radical department and the visiting physicians. As to the state of tat funds, the friends of the Institution were fully informed on this point, and he should not presume to add many remarks on the sub. eat. He did not fear 'that such a Charity would be suffered to fall . ut the ground in a rich and wealthy metropolis like this. He thought it only just to observe, however, that the amount of annual obseriptions, the only certain income which the Charity , possessed, did not amount to one-third of its expenditure. The 'mono uto had received the best support of his Majesty's Government, sad particularly of that portion of it with which the Noble Lord was coenceted who was to have presided, but whose absence had been orontisened by unavoidable circumstances. He was confident the Institution would also receive the suppor t . of the public. The next toast was " the Treasurer,' which was prefaced by a ihwt speech Rom the Chairman. Mr. WILLIAM., in rising to return thanks, observed, that he fdt prosid of any connection with an itiktifution whiCh he conceived ' I.W eminently,worthy of support—considered either in relation ...Ithe means irtftch it applied, or the objects which it iniught to re. ' eve, it was In institution which had a peculiar claim- on the ho-' unity qpd charity of the country. There were no objects which 1 note devetily excited the sympathy of Englishmen than British amen. There was no deed of courage or persexerance which this "nimble body of men had trot achieved. Whether ft was atthal torrid zone, or In 'elle frozen ocean, they rose superior to all ob.' loci*, and triumphed in every attempt. These were the objects ankh this Institution sought particularly to relieve. If anything corseted from the character of this particular class of men, it was ttu their profession gave them peculiar habits, which in some feature separated them fiont society. When the sailor milts hie sop, and a obliged to live on shore, by sickness or distress, lie brows not where to tarn—he is wholly devoid of friends.. This luttutios affords him an asylum, in is therefore worthy of the lupport of 011011mbstry. But this Institution does not confine its ithef to ilaidokraidloran every individual who lands no the shores ditched map partake of Its benefits. More that one-sixth of thus who base boon relieved by its funds were foreigners in distress; yet foreigners do not contribute to its funds,and what is this but a mat. le:donde to Englishmen? It was a society founded on British bene volence, and this alone entitled it to the strenuous support of &British public. But the society wants to be known—it did not receive the tuppon which it deserved from British merchants ; and the cha ncier of British merchants was too well known to have it supposed fa swami that they lacked liberality. He supposed they must be ignorant of the existence and objects of the Institution. Every person was received ; it was applicable to the wants of the poor moan who could procure no ticket or recommendation ; it arose tot from necessity, and sot from any speculative opinions. It was tublisbed in a season of scarcity, for British solduee and salon ; rid when the scarcity passed by it was found that a assoisbar= pnlos tvmsined oar the hands of the Institution, who won with disease, and could not labour. Such was thwarlgin of the lontution. In conclusion, Mr. Williams called upon the assembly to onside the utility and necessity of the Institution ; and if they did he was sure it would continue to be supported whilst Britain yenned Britain, which he trusted would be until time shall be no moo , Ale this the following toasts were peoposed, and drunk with aPelluse: " Doctors 31`Kennis and Roberts"—" The Lord hlayor"— " The Margate Steam Packet Company"—" l'he Elder Brethren of the Trinity (louse"-o•• The East India Company"_." The Gorman and Company of the Bank of England," &c. &c. Amongst the distinguished individuals present we noticed—W. ]lnning, Esq.

TO THE EDITOR Oh' THE BRITISH PJ Cos, FEB. I. 5. SIR, - Having in several of your late Papers perc 18 ei 2 ved your erfleavonrs to undeceive the public mind with resoect to the worse than absurd statements which have been at tempted to be palmed upon it, representing the immense mineral treasures in South America, which but await the importation of Hritish artists and British capital to return a per centage to th e s h are h o ld ers a b ove a l l computation, I beg, Sir, to draw your attention to a late paragraph which appeared in a Dublin Paper, and by which its readers are led to suppose, that if the city of El Dorado does not lie in any other part of the world, it certainly is to be found in Ireland. The paragraph to which I allude sets forth the immense value in Royalties which the Royal Irish Mining Company have already in possession ; and, among others, those they have obtained leases of in this county, to which they have appended the name of the "Audley Mines," are stated to be the most valuable, and estimated, by the knowing ones in London, at 2.50,0001. value. Whether the first part of this latter statement be true or false I shall not at this period pretend to determine, but of this I am confident, that, if it be true, the valuable possessions of the Royal Irish Mining Company are worth indeed but very little. It so happens that the writer of this letter knows something respecting these "Audley Mines ;" and a dis interested wish solely to disabuse the public mind of England from the influence of such a statement as appeared in the pa per above alluded to, has induced him to statenow what he has no hesitation in predicting one year will completely ve rify, that the boasted Audley Mines are not merely not worth as many farthings as the knowing-ones in London esti mate in pounds, but that in all probability they will prove a serious loss to the Company. I will not presume to say that valuable mines will never be discovered on the Audley Estates • I could not undertake to ma k e suc h an assertion ; but this I am prepared most positively to main tain, that at the former period of their working, there was not a sufficiency of ore raised to defray the expenses, nor any thing in immediate prospect at the suspension of the works, to encourage their further prosecution. There is but one part of that statement, which, *I believe, will be found consistent with fart, and to that I am ready to add my full concurrence ; it relates to the value of the ore ob tained from one particular vein ; but if a vein of gold was either so limited in size, or otherwise circumstanced, as that it would require an expenditure of double its value to obtain it, of what,benefit, may I ask, would it prove to the miner ? I have laid, Sir, that lam disinterested in these mines: as far as any concern with them I certainly sin so, but I should probably have qualified the tenn, for conceiv ing that when this bubble breaks, it will tend to the injury of the mining interest generally, if not give rise to an unfa vourable impression of those who may be hereafter engaged in similar pursuits, I have, from these considerations, been snore particularly impelled to address you, and still more especially, as I hare reason to think there are mineral trea sures in Ireland, which will yet prove highly beneficial both to ati senturers, and to the country. Again, if in consequence of this statement, or of its being probably copied into some of the London papers, British capitalists, as is more than in sinuated in that paragraph, should be induced to purchase shares in this Company, will not the Irish press be dete riorated in the opinion of the British public, for lending its aid to the publication of such unfounded statements. In the present instance 1 am inclined to think that some interested individual must have imposed this upon the editor of the respectable journal in which it appeared ; and I cannot conclude without warning those persons who may favour these hues with a perusal, not to put too im plicit a confidence even in printed documents, though from their title pages it would appear they emanate from per sons professionally scientific. I am Sir, your obedient servant, A FRIEND TO TRUTH. Lxv Meet Tii EATILE.—Mr. Ryley produced on Satur day evening last, for his benefit, a Comedy written by him self, and called the Irish Girl, the effect of which was, as• the author's friends anticipated, great applause from a crowded audience. The receipts were upwards of MI. DENNIS THE Carric.—Amongst the singularities of Dennis, may be noticed his real or affected hatred to a pun. Whenever one was uttered lie either put himself into a passion, or quitted the company. Those who knew him took advantage of his peculiarities. One evenings party of the wits of the day were assembled at Button's, amongst whom were Steele, Rowe, and Dennis; Rowe and Dennis were sittinglin one box. Steele was anxious to make a party, of Which Itowe was to form one, but from which Dennis was to be excluded ; Steele, who was at a loss how to com municate his wishes to the latter, unknown to the former, at length hit on the following expedient. Going up to Dennis, he asked him aloud what was the matter with him ?—" The matter with me !" said Dennis, " What do you mean by that ?" " Why," said Steele, " I did not know, but you appeared to me like an angry waterman ; you look one way and Rytee another." This was sufficient, Dennis bounced up in a passion, and quitted the room, thundering out his anethemas against all puns and miser able punsters. The following gentlemen have been added to the Com mission of the Peace of the county of Worcester:—T. H. H. Davies, Esq. M.P. of Elinley Castle; Abiathar Hawke'. Esq. of Dudley ; Rawson Parke, Esq. of Crowle Court; and John Somerset Russell, Esq. of Powick Court. Lieutenant George Lindsay, R.N. has lately invented a machine, which lie terms a " Marine Circuitor," by which means he can place our largest ships of war in any position immediately, when ships are dismasted in action, or attacked by gun-boats in a calm. CAUTION TO STR•NGERS.-00 Thursday last, three men were brought from tridewell charged with felony, in having defrauded a person of his watch. The com plainant, a young man of genteel appearance, stated that he had recently arrived in Liverpool, on his way to the North, and on Wednesday morning had gone to one of the coach offices to take his place. At the door he was accosted by a mac of decent appearance, who said he also 'was a stranger in Liverpool, but knew a little of it, and as be had some friends in the North was always glad to be civil, and having a little time to spare would take him to see the New Market, &c. The young man went, and afterwards they went into a house to get some breakfast. While there another man came in, and after apologising sat down, and entered into a conversation as if he was an entire stranger to the first man. Soon after a third man came in, and introduced himself in a similar manner. They then began to banter each other in the usual way to provoke betting, and to decide by the chance of a half penny placed under a jug. The young man did not join them ; but having taken out his watch to see the time, they contrived to induce him by way of fun, to let it be deposited in the hat, with their stakes, merely to try his luck. They placed it there, and one of the three imme diately won the toss, claimed all the stakes, and while the rest were badgering the young man, the fellow went off. In thin dilemma the young mai found his way to the police-office, and after a diligent search the three men were apprehended, and have been committed to take their trial. —Liverpool Paper. PAEYSNTION 0? POACHINO.—A correapondeht as Newark requests us to notice, that a respectable gett o t man, who is Lord of several manors in that neighbourh frequently makes presents of game to the inhabitants (ic:. eluding even labourers) in the vicinity of his residence; and occasionally allows farmers and others, whether they are his tenantry or not, to sport upon any of his manors. So beneficial are the effects of this salutary cotnplianae, that poaching is rarely practised, and game is far nuralv abundant on these manors than in places where strict 'at. verity is used. An unfortunate event has just happened near Ankle Department du Puy-de-Dome. M. Tsphanel, a phyde cian, returning from seeing a patient, perceived on tie side of the road a spot, marked in a manner as if a struggle had taken place, and much blood lying about ; he also saw marks, as if sonic body had been dragged along the snow. After going about fifty paces he found himself opposite an enormous wolf, which was eating a man. His horse im mediately reared, and the wolf leaped upon the crupper. M. Tsphanel instantly dismounted, and seized a pistol; but the movement was not sufficiently qaick, for lie was dangerously bitten, In a few seconds M. Taphanel was enabled to fire down his throat. As for the man that the wolf was devouring, he was half eaten, so that it has not been possible to recognise him.—Courrier Francais. THE 13RITI_SH PRESS. MINING COMP.4NIES. TO TAE EDITOR OF 'llll.l BRITISH FRESS. • Stn, —The observations of the Lord Chancellor in the Haute of honk, and •lie decision of , he Court of IS ing's Itric:N jr. the Equit able Lan Bank cue, hasi:.g ...rested, es it a - ipc.us to us, ci.neces sary alarm and considerable raisapprehension with respect to the Companies affected by suc h d e ci sion and observations, allow us, through the medium of rgr wi , lelpcirephitedJoutnal, to call the attention of the public to the explanation gikenlf the Lord Chan cellor of his pre vious o b serva ti ons , i n the case oi Eire v. Everett. Walker, and Co., which was argued yesterday in the Court of Chancery. The following is the explanation to which we refer. His Lord ship said, " In any observations he had made, he meant to confine himself to this —that where Companies could only be legally formed by Charters or Acts of Parliament, • till they were so formed they could not sell shares for profit." Thus it appears that all English and Foreign Mining Companies are at once taken out of the rule laid down by his Lordship in the House of Lords, since no Act or Charter is necessary legally to esta blish such institutions. These Companies are only extensive part nerships, governed by a partnership deed, tailed a deed of settle ment. We remain, Sir, Your moat obedient servants, IFILKS and VERBEKE. 36, New Broad -street, Feb. 9, 102$. ----- - We understand that Dr. Plunkett, Roman Catholic Bishop of Elphin, has resisted threats and entreaties, and up to the present time decidedly opposes the collection of the Catholic Rent in his diocese. From many things which have lately come to our knowledge, we are well as sured that several other Roman Catholic prelates have countenanced it more from compulsion than conviction.— Cork Paper. .

A Correspondent says :—" The fugitives in the &me- ment from Holloway Mount; as stated an Monday, were osertaken at Boroughbriclite, on Tuesday. Miss W ar button Helen, the young lady, is not a Ward in Chancery, es stated, but will possess an independent property when of age, next November. Mr. R. Bellamy, the gallant, is etudying surgery, and belongs to a respectable family in Hampshire, who resided close to the residence of Mite H. They were traced to have taken a post chaise at Barnet, by means of hand hills, and to •avoid suspicion, crossed the road from Bung) , to Huntingdon ; there was, how ever, a regular clue to Doncaster, when the purtuers were within two hours of the pursued, and they overtook them at Boroughbrido e, taking a comfortabl e din ner . , The brother and uncle of the lady entreated her to place herself ur;der their protection ; and on *the gallant receiving an unceremonious ejectment, she returned back to Ferry bridge, with her relatives, the same night." . 1511 xi sc.—Saturday we noticed with satisfaction the re opening of the silver and lead mines of Kdinurrin, in the county Waterford. We have now additional pleasure in stating the discovery of a had mine upon the neighbouring farm of Dunbrattin. The twp farms are separated from each other by. a valley, in which runs a stream of water. It is supposed that the kilinurrin vein stretches across the va7ley, and shows itself at Dunbrattin. As silver is ex tracted frOm the ore of lead, where lead exists silver is sure to be found. It is well known that from about the year 1760 to 1770, the proprietor and occupier of the Manor of St. John, Waterford - , Thomas Wise, Esq. grandfather and namesake of the present proprietor, gut all his plate from the mine of Kilmurrin. It is well known, too, that Squire Wise, a name by which he was universally distin guished in this neighbourhood, lived in a very sumptuous style.—Limerick Paper. A rich specimen of copper ore found at Ballysinode, the estate of the Earl of Derby, contiguous to the intended Rail-road and the tdwn of Tipperary, has been exhibited in Cork. It is capable of yielding 2.5, 46, and up to 33 per cent.—Limerick Paper. A Company has been fbrmed at Mancheeter, for untiring a navigable ship canal from the Irish Sea, at the mouth of the Dee, direct to Manchester. THE CHACE.—WC understand that the Royal Mid Lothian fox-hounds are to be laid off immediately. The lover' of the chaee, however, need be under no appre hension of being deprived of their favourite pastime, as a pack has been bought from Lord Kintore, by the gotle men of Linlithgowshire, and are to be designated " the West Lothian or Linlithgowshire-subscription pack of fox hounds." This pack are in excellent condition, and as the fine level track of country over which they are to hunt is very fa vourable for the sports of the field, much amusement is in consequence anticipated. The kennel is, ere understand. to be at ‘Vinchburgh, where the hounds are to throw off for the first titne in a few days.—Caledonian Mercury. TROTTING is THE Noarit.—The Marquis of Huntly lately matched his hack mare to carry eight atone, and trot thirty-six miles in three hours. The performance took place on the Ist instant, when, owing to the known superior qualities of the whole of the Noble Marquis's hacks, the mare was the favourite at high odds. She did the first eighteen miles in one hour and fourteen minutes, and com pleted the thirty-six miles in two hours and forty-six mi nutes—a performance not to be sneered at by the Trotting Fancy on this aide of the Tweed. On Tuesday last the inhabitants of Taunton held a meeting to petition Parliament for the repeal of the House and Window duty. The Shropahiie Magistrates have fixed the price for salt coneumed in thkt county as follows :-1121b. for 65.; .56 lb. for 3s. ; 28 lb. for Is. 61; 14 lb. for 9d.; 7 lb. for 4id.; all under td. per lb. STRAH•ENGINE NeISANCr.—Ac the Kirktlile Sessions on Wednesday last, Mr. John Stephen Bird, tenant of the Castle Mills, near Scotland-road, was indicted for the nui sance occasioned by the smoke arising from his engine. The indictment was prosecuted by the parish, upon the complaint of the neighbours. The defendant pleaded guilty, and at his earnest solicitation, at he would inctir great expense, the Court respited their judgment until the next Seams,. upon the promise that the nuisance should be abated. We believe this is the first conviction in Liver pool, under the Acts Ist and 2d Geo. IV. chap. 41.—Li verpool Advertiser of Tuesday. In England the supply of oak bark is so inadequate to the demand, that the tanneries in the vicinity of London alone use annually from 7,000 to 8,000 tons of foreign bark, at an expense of 141. per ton. About four o'clock on Wednesday morning last, a de structive fire happened at the large woollen-manufactory belonging to Mr. Reed, at Monkleigh, near Great Torring ton, by which the whole of the machinery, buildings, &c. were made one entire ruin. The loss is estimated at about 1,6001.; of which 900/. is, we understand, insured. EPITAPH.—In a village church-yarch, near Thornton, in Yorkshire, is to be seen a plain stone, close to the church, raised to the memory of John Trollop, who ap pears to have been the buifder of the church ; and the epi taph runs quaintly in these words : " Here lit!

A.o R replied. • Hi; LORDSHIP—With respect to the merits, either here or et line; with that the Court, at I resent, had nothing to do. The Britt thing the Court wished to know was, how long Mr. Agar's client bad sanctioned the mantic:AS which the answer bad beer. •sworn and tiled ? and in the next.place, the Court would fee: obliged to the Registrar to inforfn the Court if any such case had ever occurred before ? . IN RE °AIMEE. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated, that this matter was hp. pointed to be spoken to to-day, on the point of costs. It was welt known, in cases where lupines died, the Court—that was, Use "•Chancellor—sitting in lunacy after the decease, dealt with property according to his Lordship's.sliscretion, es to paying elf costs and expenses; and in analogy to, that, it appeared to the Learned Solicitor, that after the application for a commission was refused, his Lordship.ceuld order the applicant Lo pgy the posts. He understood that the practice. in the Ecclesiastic-el Court was, invariably, in a case of a husband suing for the restitution of ma rital rights, or in a vase where a wile sued her husband, to order the costa m be paid by the person suing, in. ceder to enable the Other party to Make his or her detence. And in this Court, though a parson apjalyiug here for a commis alon of lunacy, to issue against any individual, is not to be considered as a suitor in a common legal proceeding, .ot is a Chancery suit, yet he mutt be considered as appying to the discreLun of the King's representative, on whose discretion. ho throws himself not only in part but in the whole, tltet is, he de pends on that discretion, not only whether the commission should; issue, but whether, if the commission shOuld be refused, costar should follow the refusal. It eppcared to,the Learned Counsel that this was clearly within the Ring's prerogative, and contr. 'quently in the discretion of his commissioner.; if it were not, is was a most dangerous thing that a person should be at liberty to make such an application as this had bean wider the assurance that, taking it in the worst light, t h e application could only be refused without the Court's interfering to award costs, however. iniquitous the motives for applying might have been. lt this waft the law, Mr. Solicitor-General would take good care that not many days should peas, until he took the necessary steps of having at established, that an individual making loch an application merely to gratify his spleen and vengeance, shall pay for it. Mr. la TANS was on the same side. Ile understood when th.er matter was last mentioned, his Lordship's difficulty in giving costal in such a case as this was, that if he a*arded costs to be paid to the wife by the husband, the money would still in reality be theft. husband j, His Loariente did certainly intimate that as a di ffi culty; btrt on further consideration, he felt it necessary to ask, whether ever. there wan an application for a commiesion of lunacy (putting this relationship that existed here totirely out of the question) which had beeq refused, and whets costs ware given? His Lordship did, not recollect one. Mr. Prams hied not looked for such a case, bot claimed th, fur. thee indulgence of the Court to look into that. His LORDSHIP granted the indulgence, and requested the Sr. cretary in lunacy .(who had also, since this was mentioned before. been locking into the lunatic record,) to make a deeper research into lunatic antiquity. Mr. Su ADME L L applied to his Lordship for permission to so persede, with costs,.a commission of bankruptcy intend stain,•a Claudio Mark Angelo, by John Carew, and to grant a mew com mission upon the petition of Moses Lindo, one ut the creditors of the estate. This case the Learned Council characterised no very gross fraud and deception. In Commissioners, the Benkrupt had Carew, at several difterent times, sums 2,33 W. which he had applied to the pay house. But froin the affidavit of Mr. had examined the books, it appears, compared, they were found to have been in the last lest of an old book ; that say, they were written likewise in the / at the same time ; that three of the b were drawn, accepted, and receipted, up a cash account; that, in the last missioners, it came out that the been paid out of Carew's money, w napes own banker's account ; 014 t been paid, was not paid at all ; that • Tat circumstances, totally failed in p hag to 1,1701. were applied and drat what was stated; that the bankrupt he had done with the money, and t rejected the proof. These were the w. ported by the accountant's affidavit and , satisfied, for the support of a commission, bees given of the application of the " hem what he had stated, in direct et. dons, that his Lordship would not allow stand. Mr. Monraou said, the partial in this case, Claudio Mark Angelo, and John Care*, though differing in religion, agreed in. sent•ment—brothers-in-law, the one swearing on the Old Testa. riont, and the other on the New ; they were brothers in love From the examination of Mr. Carew before the Commission, which; he would presently read fur the information of his Lordship, it app. prated that this pious Christian, in the true spirit of the doctrine be professed, had visited his brother in prison to condole with him upon his misfortunes—to comfort him under his aftlictions--vws the man by whom be had lost 2,6001., from pure •fratennl love. No worth) of his could do justice to such a noble instance at' Christian charity. He should speak for Rims ]f.._" From strong hive, from affection to my sister and her children, I visited them in prison—hot one word respecting these transactions—hot one wore. of upbraiding to the man who had depi.ved me of so large a sum.' But he must trespass upon the time ot Court to have this sass's examination read. The petitioning creditor cannot tell where he got the money t no person saw the notes t he could not tell any 06 the numbers; he kept no account of them ; was ever any thing Sal preposterously fraudulent?
