The pillager, he said, was in.'s , - ell for forgiega power of attorney , for th e 'tender of stock belong ing to Ibis Frences Young; an fur uttering such rawer of at torney knowing it to be forged. There were whew counts in the indirtment„ charging the primate with an intent to defraud the !lank of England, and also a Krum of the name of Flower to whom the tranafer wan made. The forgery they might put out of their consideration, as there was no ev Weise of its having been conga milted in laeolon : and they, as a London Jury, could not try a prisoner fur any cents not committed in the city ; blot if tl•ey should think that the count which charged the, prisonet with alt. tering the forged pester of attorney at the Bank of England, which was in the (ley of London, knowing it to be f;ifeg. finding him guilty run that count, was the Mine in its le Oteta as if he were found guilty on all the counts in the it ilictnsen. prisoner, in hes shires. to the Jury had mentioned a subject, wlOlll at all ti 4444 w gave hint, (Mr. Justice l'arkn greet concern. and on %Thiele lie would, at whatever peril, expects his opinion as often as it occurred. It was truly painful to bear persona in the prisoner's complaining of the obloquy they suffered from nosepee. w reathing in the public prints. Such crud conduct was calculated to bring the minds of Jurors to form a bad opinion of the person on whom they were to pass before they heard the evidence ; and if Audi cruelty towards the primmer had been confronted, he was night to motion it, and eleelare its falsehood. Ile hoped, and was confident, the Jury would pay no attention to any thing they had ever heard respecting the prisoner's conduct before they took the book into their hands, by which they bound themselves. before to deliver a true verdict, according to the evidence. No man could be lit for the administratson of justice who allowed bitutielt to • influenced, or paid the knit attention to any reports he m* ht halve heard before a prisenter's trial. If a prisoner were in resdit, the toot wicked person io the world, unless the evidence was suffi cient to tocsin him of the crime of which he was charged, a Jury would be bound to acquit him. The law did not In any use admit witnesses to bad character, but only to good, and no man prejudice. The Attorney-Besse. should be injured by re' trts to his r 1 and the prisoner had both celled on them to dismiss those re pss from their mind ; and he, Mr. Jus•ice Park, had allowed the prisoner to proceed in the statement be peel made in answer to those cruel charges though that statement did nut go to all to the point of the ease to be decided, as the only mienion fur their considora. lion was, whether the prisoner uttered the power of attorney given iti evidence in the manner imputed to him? Tbat question contained there points : the first was, was that instrument forged ? the second, did the 'silence utter it ? the third and inns lame-rant, did the prisoner at the time of uttering it know it to be forged ? If they were eatistieel by the evidence that those duce things were peeved then the prooner's guilt was legally proved, t and It would bet heir duty to find a verdict in coilititeity with hat evidence. On the first point, via. was the instrument lunged ? By the law of 'England, a 'Arson whose name was forged to an instrument, in which they had an homed, could not be a witness to prove the for. gerv—it was a strange rule of law, hat the Court was hound by it. Aliss Young. alms..? name was fOrged to the power of temey In quevtion, under which Iter stock had Leen trinaferred, could not theretore be called to p 44 ve the forgery. Lett the Bank of England, to qualify lice for being a witness, had replaced her stock, and they ' list executed mutual releases to each other, by which she ceased Ito hare any interest in the question, whether that ilistruneerft was a forgeny , or was genuine. She bad proved that the rens, signed Frances Young, to the power of attorney produced, was cot her hand.writing, anal that sloe hid never authorial any person to write it; and Janne Tyson and John Watson, clerks in the Bank in which the prisoner was a partner. whose names were both signed to the instrument as witnesses of hie/trillion YOUTIg, lied proved that their names were not in their bas writing, and that they haul never seen Miss Young in their lives, till they sate her at the police.oflice, after the prisoner's apprehension. This rue es strong evidence that the instrument wee a forgery as could be produced, and must he sufficient to satisfy every mind. The next point for their consideration was, did the prisoner utter the forged instru ment ? It wet stated in evidence, that, by the practice of the Bank, the names and description of persons, to wham powers of attorney for the trans'.r of stock arc given, intuit be stated to the Batik, and that the person so appointed vault go to the Bank, and demand to act under the ' , cheer he has received. It was proved, ti:., tee prisoner had uttered the power of uttor. produced, at d had demanded to act under it, and bad been allowed by the Bank sit to act, they supposing it to be a genuine power of attionee, and that !Iles Young a MOCk head in conse quence been t ushered by the primmer a direction: this sea as strung a proof of uttering as could well be conc"ived. The third point vol., did the prisoner, at the time of uttering, know that the instrumeet was a forgery ? On this an obserrateou arose on the face of the perry itself. Tyson and %Fatten, whose names were sultecribeel to it as witnesses, proved that the causes were nut in their hand-writing, and that the words stating the inatrumeut to be executed in their presence acre in the hand-writing of the prisoner, therefore be must have known it was A forgery at the dine uttered it. It was also proved, dint although the transfer of this stock tutuk place in 131 n, the prisoner, gin the purpose of concealing that fart, centimesd to give IP nut Young credit for its amount, in lists of stock on which dividends were to be received by the bank iu which he was a portlier, and which lists he made out, clown to a short time befere his apprehension. It was also proved, that there was an entry made in the Looks the bank In which the prisoner was a partner, end in his hand-writing. doted theist ofJunc, 181 b, in which he took credit fir :SJ(.3.', paid by hien that dray Into their Bank, and it was proved by the stock-broker who had auld alias Young's stook for the prisoner, under the forged power of attorney, that the sale was made on the Ist of June, tills, and that the pro duce which he mitt over to the pi isence on that d ay, was 2,9h31. the ' very rune for whaele the prisoae.- lead taken credit in his own books. Mr. Ileum', the prisimer's counsel, had asked on this evideuce, whether the money went to the credit of the prisoller'a private ac count, or was carried to the general accounted the firm : but that wan • matter totally irrelevant, and nothing that the prisoner had said on that point could et all form a sheet for their consideration. I Their only enquiry was. whether the prisoner had used the means imputed to him for o b taining the money—nut bow he had employed it. Hitherto he had liven examining the probability of the prison n's having uttered the for. cr of attorney with a guilty knowledge. as that probability was to he inferred front the facts of the Mr but after the next piece Of evidence he was to mention, what man could lay his hand on his heart sod say he Was not con. vinced that the prroner knew the powar of attorney was forged at the tines he uttered It ? Ile only mid this because the prissier had ?mid it of himself ; it was indeed sten a document as he had never before see, nor could expect to see, as it was evident no one could krep such a document in his possession without exposing himself to the greatest possible rink. The Learned Judge hens retapitu lated the statement of Plank the ol&er and Mr. Fredifield, of find. ing the payer„ in the prisoner's box, and first read the paper called doe sale note of Miss Yourtg'e stuck, which, he observed, it had ben proved if regularly sold, would have ti.•en tiled and espied into the batik bunks, neither of which had been done. his Lordship then reed she document in which the prisoner bed stated his having slit the stock mentioned in it under powers et atturney which he Pinged I and then said—le it possible the any man to say, atter this evidence, that there can be a doubt on the third point, that it the time the primmer uttered the power of attenney he knew it to be forged I--be solemnly declared the fact under his own hand eight years ago. NO cause of any kin.) could ever induce nn lamest man to commit an met of such atrocity. The prisoner says he did not emend to defraud, but he had recorded under his own hand that he did the am to punish the Bank. Ile fins also said that he did It to support the edit of his partners, but in an honest, or Christian mind no motive could conic in couileention with the misery such coedist must produce. There was core point in the prisoner's favour 'lnch he was glad of, and it might, perhaps, be some consolation to the 'misuse's ntind--a pleat number of most respretable rule inn had given him a very high character.— It was the niisfortune of those cams, that it was persons of high character who had the opportunity of comniitting such frauds, no others could du it. Tile Jury had heard otter in. dictments against the prisoner rend, but they Inuit put them out of coreideration, as they were only to sum"! to the case on which they had heard evidence; hut if they were satisfied by the cri. dents they had heard, that the crime imputed to the prisoner lead been proved. if he had the cheracter of on angel, it would be their duty hut find him guilty. If, on the other haml, they, acting under the sacred obligation of an ontft, entertained a doubt of tho pri purser's guilt. then they would allow the excellent character that had been given him to have its doe weigh:; but if they were satisfied with the evidence, however they might temente-and every MAD of feeling must lament, to see a roan who had esosessed so !ugh • character in the prisoner's unhappy situation, still they must dig. charge their duty with firmness. At ten minutes to 3 o'clock his Imedship eon:tutted his charge. l'he Jury then retired to deliberate on their verdict. During their absence, which lasted twenty minutere,Mr.Fauntlcroy retuneed his seat, and appeared tunas'' , afected. A sudden rush el the crowd at the door of the Court, announced the return of the Jury. The prisoner stood up to hear his awful sentence. %Hills the Clerk of the Arraigns called over the names of the Jury, and petted the firma) words of the law—" limo say you; are you agreed upon your verdict, is the prisoner at the bar Cathy, or Not Guilty ? " the most intense interest was niao , feated be every ttersan present. The Foreman replied, '• litifity of utel:rea the tonged_ instrument, knowing it to be forged." At tin.: moil:int every eye was fixed on the unhappy prisoner. who remote:al for a moment quite inotimile.s, apparently utioniseitois of ere.'y thing around him, and then senk eloan into his chair. _ _ . A short co:arrears then took place between the Bench acd the eininsi for the prosecution; It was conducted in a low tiiiie of voice, hut we presume it refried to ilw propriety of proceeding wit:, the other indictments. Upon its conclusion, Me. Justice PARR addressed tile prisoner rather abruptly: "Henry Eninderoy,"—The prisoner, who for sonic tuitinus been quite absorbed in his meditations, started at the wood, mid then looking wildly at the tkiwh, row, as if in especLation thai sentence was to be pronounced upon him.

Ilia Counsel met in consultation, and were unanimously of opinion that he had no prospect, or even possible chance of escape, if the in. dietments were framed as they hail reason to expect, from the in telligence and caution of the Bank Agents, they would he; but they very properly declined giving tiny advice to Mr. Feu:oh:toy as to the course be Should adopt, and left him to be guided entirely. by his own feelings. as 'II whether or not he could take his trial, or plead guilty.

Indeed, !have been depicted in such odious colours, that it would be painful to any one hereafter to ec. knowledge any relationship or acquaintance with me • and if these im putations minims! uncononclicted, and were credited, no one could think of my memory without sensations of indignation and of horror.

I shall no, therefore, here trouble you with a repetition, but shall confine myself to short and general observe. tines on the reproachful and slanderous reports ninth have been so widely circulated regarding the incidents, or the imagined oc...ur. moires of my private life.

" II ENItY In ott , tlience to Mr. FauntleroyCS4ititeO,tliestibstTiaii of his statement wits put into fortis, es a defence, and the draft was on Friday evening submitted to his inspection. Ile rend and approved it. aid promised, not only to copy it by the following alarming, but to reed it to the Juty ; and at ten o'clock at night Mi. Mayhew and his .31;,iturs left him. In the eirly part of the last week the mind of Mr. Fauntlevoy appeared to he more distressed than it any previous time of his lin p.isomitent : this prohahly arose from the conflict iu his mind as to the e.ninia he should take respecting his trial, the anxiety he was under to wind up MI his worldly affairs, sod the anguish he felt at finding himself, even too nearly the era of kis ortleal, stigrnansed and traduce:l in almost every direction. But what appeared t . • incest to utreet and unnerve him, was the information he received, that one individual, in particular. was ived..thig in the pro pagation of slantlers against him, front whom, ef all others, he had a right to expect sympathy. and the most unremitting and anxious attention. Thli conduct, trout a man who was bound to him be ',mutter lieu, was, as the unfortunate gentleman ex pressed hiesatia; • " The unkindest blow of all," _ _ and his mind wail witollyuTitir,Tamito meet it ; and the unfeel ing conduct of this individual. it believed, more than any other emssitievatinii. induced Mr. Fauldkvoy to stand his trial. When Mr. Fr tuaderoy's solicitors and friends endeavoured to vaathe and comfort him, his feelings frequently overpowered him—his grate ful heart appeared to swell, as if ready to burst from his bosom— he endea , oured to speak, but his utterance was choked, and ern , bracing alternately all those around him, lie been: into tears, and sunk exhausted under the ebullition of his feelings r as the time of trial, however, approached, he becan:e more calm • and when his concerr.s were finally settled and arranged, lie assumed his wonted composure and resignation. A good deal of scrambling, it is stated, has taken place to obtain the customers of the banking.house in Berners-street : two new establishments have been formed with this view. Sir Claude Scott, id conjunction with Messrs. Williams and Co. of Heinlein-lane, have opened a house in llolles-street, and have offered, it is said, to place a aunt, equal to ten shillings in the pound. on the amount of their debt', due from Marsh and Co., to the credit of those who may open accounts with them. Another house, at the west end of the town, has engaged two of the clerks of Marsh and Co. ; and, having obtained a hat of their connexions, has proceeded to canvass wort actively. The demeanour or Mr. Fauntleroy was evidently changed by the near approach of the trial. Ile was on Friday night greatly depressed, and the efforts of his friends to amass hint were wholly vain. Many persons went to see him, but his most particular' friends only were admitted. In reply to their efforts to ameliorate his depres s ion and anxiety, Mr. Faunderor's chief remark was, that " he wished ill was over ; all he felt afflicted at was the public exposure r that lie knew could not be avoided, but that gave him , pato ; however, it would all soon be over." Ile slept very indifre rently, and rose soon after day-light, manifesting an air of settled 1 1 depression. He scarcely spoke. The following is from a Sunday paper:— Many curious traits in the character of Mr. Fauntleroy are at present In circulation ; but where the anxiety to obtain them is so great, se% eral tar likely to he fictitious. A singular Proof, however, of the self-posses.sion with which he went through h is work of de ception, has been related to us on umpiesdonobte authority. line day he called at the flank of Etgland, and handed over to the clerks a forged power of attorney for the transferal' stock, which was held in his name and that of another person, whose signature be had counterfeited. While the clerk was glancing over the paper, the very p erson whose name had been abused, happened to enter the flank. The moment Faundemy perceived him, lie, with AMU. ing presence of mind. turned towards the clerk, and saying that he had forgot to insert something in the power of attorney, begged ft to be given bark to him. The request was complied with. After wards advancing towards his friend, he shook hands with him in the most cordial manner, and walked with him out of the Bank. As to instance of the utter Indifference with which he looked upon the victims of his guilt, it fa said that he was in habits ofintimacy with almost all the parties whom he rubbed ; and thatlrg after he hail squandered all their money, and while he was paying their dividend., he used frequently to attend companies at them and to in% de than to his own hi return. It Is not true, as some pretend to say, that his future fate ever seriously occupied his mind during his confinement. In the course of the day lie was engaged in the disposal and distribution of his personal effects, and in writing out memoranda of the Bank affairs. In the evening, when alone, he indulged himself with reading winks of amusement. A few nights htforc his trial, he told his I:oitaitel, Mr. Broderick, that he had a strung inclination to plead guilty . to the indictment; and frankly asked his opinion as to the propriety of this conduct. Mr. Broderick answered that althousli he could not bolo out any hopes for him, yet he dissuaded him from adopting this course, as be wrraid thus lose the benefit of an technical objections that might arise in the course of the trial. Fauntleroy *hook his head incredulously, and the conversation dropped. The vanity of Fauntleroy was excessive. lie had adopted the foolish ilea that he strongly resembled lkinaparte in the shape of his face; and the syzopliants who surrounded him took care to favour this conception. That he might always have an unege of the great prototype . tiefore him, lie procured a marble bust of Napoleon, which cost hem an ClOrl»011i sum, and this he placed in the most conspicuous part of his drawing-nom. On the opposite side was a bust of himself, which, through the kindness of the sculptor, who had doubtless got his c ie, was made in stile of the features, particularly in the brow and the nose, to bear a striking resembLvice to those of Napoleon. MARSH, STRA CFI", and GUAR M'J BANKRUPTCV The final examination under the Commigaion to prove debts being announced in the Gazelle for nineo'clock no Saturday morn ing, at the ConanNsioners' Court, Basinghall-street, the creditors to the estate attended in great numbers. . . . . . . Several depoettions (in addition to those already admitted) in proof of debt were put in ; the gross amount inuved was, however, by no means so considerable us had been anticipated. Very great anxiety seemed to prevail amongst the holders of cheques on the house, to know what decision had been come to respecting their claims. This, however, was set at rest by a com munication from 111 r. 3lor tague, intimating that they would be admitted in proof, though nut now, as the precise form in which they should be put in was not yet agreed on ; but the cheque holders would have notice of the decision through the medium of public advertisement in the newspapers. This reply gave very general satisfaction. At about half-past ten o'clock, Mr. hloNT•0 l'E addressed ore Court. and said, " I hold in my hand an order signed by the Lord Chancellor for adjourning this examination, in the case of the bank rupts, Messrs. hlarsh, Sirseey, and linchatn, for forty-nine days from this day, so that more ample opportunity will be given fur the investigation of the affairs of the !muse." Though this enlargement may be treated as mere matter of mural, and though no specific grounds were mentioned in the order, yet it is quite clear that there could be no thorough or satisfaramy investigation of the bankrupts affairs until the fate of one of the partners (and lie too, the acting partner) be definitively settled.' lle, of course, could give much important information ; hut at present, considering 'the delicacy of his own situation, it would be not only indecorous, but contrary to rule, to press him on a subject which might possibly shirt himself. lksides. the presence of the other partners was looked for when this day was named for the ex amination, and their compulsory attendance in another Court of course precluded the possibility of their appearance here. ATTEMPTED MURDER. The following dreadful circumstance, which occurred on Satur day night, in (,heapaide, near the corner of Bucklersbury, threw the whole neighbourhood into a state of carmine alarm : mar ried woman, named barah Derail, the wife of Samuel I)cvall, a gardener, the son of a market-gardener at Ilattenea, was walking over the cross-way at the end of Bucklenibury, about nine o'clock on Saturday night, when a men ran up to her and said, " Now I'll do fur you, you —," and instantly fired a pistol at her head. The ball with which the pistol was loaded struck the es', arlit, and fractured the skull. The woman, on hearing the pistol fired. cried out, " I)h God ! my husband has munlered me! I am shot !" Before she could speak another a ord, or any person could render her as ' sistance, the aatarsin, finding that the ball bad nut taken the effect he intended, rushed upon her, and beat her about the head with the pistol till she was covered with blood, and fell on the ground in a state of insensibility. He offered no resistance what taken bold of by several gentlemen, who sent for an officer, and gave him into the custody of Smith, a constable. The poor wo man was carried instantly to the shop of Mr. Hooper, surgeon, Queen-street, Illieapside, and from thence she was conveyed to St. Ihirtholoniew's Hospital, and put to bed. The house surgeon in stantly examined the wounds on her head, and discovered that the wound occasioned by the pistol ball was not dangerous, but he ap. prebendal fatal cos,sequeneett from several fractutes of the skull, occasioned by the violence with which she had been struck with the barrel of the pistol. Iler head was shaved and the wounds limbed and dressed. During this operation, the prisoner was Conveyed to Gilispia-suiret Compeer, and the keeper, on hearing the nature of his offence, had him placed under the are of persons who were directed to guard him during the night. He was asked his 11)&111C, to which I.e answered " Samuel 1/evall ;r and said his reason for shooting his wife was, that he had discovered that she hail not only been criminal with other men, but was a common prostitute, and lie had watched her conduct in Oheattside fur half an hour before be shot her. lie was excessively agitated for sonic hours, bit he has since heroine quite calm and taciturn. There is a peculiar wildness about the eyex of the prisoner, and strong indi cations of insanity. The account the unfortunate woman ha. given it as follows : She has been married nine years to the prisoner; they had lived in the Commercial-road, Limehnuse and latterly at No. 7. Swan. court Coleattau-street. (In Sunday last they had ear food nor money, and they lay in bed the whole of the day, and at night she went out, by his ditection, to obtain money by means of prostitution. She had frequently threatened to leave him, as he was too Idle to work. sod he had swore. in the most so lemn manner if ever she did he would blow her brains out. On Tuesday list, their goods being sold, she told hint she would go to service, and after some time he consented, and they shook hands and parted in a very friendly manner. (In l'huntday last she heard that he had purc.ased a pistol, and that, he had declared, whenever he met her he would shoot her, having discovered that, instead of her going to service, she had gone upon the tows. It is stated that tic prisoner has been confined in a lunatic asylum, and that he has been recently discharged from lloriernonger.lane gaol. where he was con fi ned for committing a very violent outrage. Ile will be brought up for examination this day at GulldhalL A duel was to have taken place on Stnallberry Green, on Saturday tuoraing, between Alajor J—m---11 and a Mr. F-1-41, a wealthy citizen, but intimation having been given to the police, constables were in waiting; and the patties having been apprised of it, they travelled further to the westward. It was said to have been a dispute re specting the purchase and sale of a horse. At a very numerous meeting of the Staffordshire, Shrop shire, and Welsh iron-masters, held at the Swan Inn, Wolverhampton, on ‘Veduesday week, it was unani mously agreed that an advance of W. pc.r ton should take place on bar and rod iron.—North Ii ales GaSctte. Another affray between the Coast blockade men, and the Sussex smugglers took place at Bexhill on Wednesday ; a coniiderable number of tabs with spirituous liquors were run, about three hundred, it is said, and about the same number was seitial. A smart ekirmish took place, and some severe wounds were inflicted. A smuggler, of the name of Benjamin Bradford, was taken prisoner, and he is now under confinement in one of the Martell° Towers.— Kentish Gazette. PRICE OF COALS. TO THE EDITOR OF TUE BRITISU PItEsS.
