THE TIMES TESTIMONIAL. On Wednesday a mast sumptuous entertainment was given at the London Tavern by the committee who had conducted the public subscription for " the Times Testi monial "to the proprietary of that journal. The Right Hon. the Lard Mayor presided on the occasion. The company consisted of the Governor of the Bank of Eng land, the Baron L. de Rothschild, Mr. Masterman, M.l'., Mr. T. Baring, M.P., Sir George Larpent, Sir Alan Napier Macnab, Mr. Walter, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir George Carroll, Mr. Alderman Wilson, Rev. Dr. Rice, Mr. Peter Laurie, Mr. John Nohle, Mr. S. Briggs, Mr. R. A. Gray, Mr. J. P. Gassiot, Mr. Holford, Mr. J. D. Powles, Mr. W. H. Ashurat, Mr. W. Tite, Mr. F. Pegler, Messrs. T. and W. Piper, Mr. T. M. Alsager, Messrs. J. and H. F. Walter, Messrs. W. F. A. and J. T. Delane, Mr. Tyas, and Mr. J. F. Neilson. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes was the vice-president. After the healths of " ihe Queen," " Trie Queen Dowager, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family," which were drank with all the honours, The LORD MAYOR proposed " The Army and Navy." He was pleased on the present occasion to see before him a distinguished individual who might be said pecu liarly to represent all branches of the toast he had thus indicated—he meant Sir Alan MeNab, whose health in connexion with " the Army and Navy, ships, colonies, and commerce," he begged now to give."—(Cheers.) Sir A. M'NAB felt quite taken by surprise by the as• sociation of his name with the toast which had just been proposed, and quite unable to express in adequate terms . his acknowledgments for the compliment. He begged in the name of that loyal and gallant body of men, who had done some service to this country, to return them thanks for the manner in which they had received the toast he had thus inadequatelyacknowledged.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast said, he was sure they were all perfectly aware of the object of their present meeting. It was to express the admire tion they entertained f or th a t va l ua bl e —h e wou ld sa y th a t invaluable—set of gentlemen who conducted the Times newspaper, and defend e d so c on s picuou s ly the rights of the public in the conduct of that establishment.—(Hear.) This he would say with reference to that paper, while there was no party that would do more justice to an honest man, although he might be the accused, none could take more pains than those who had the adminis tration of the Timesto render entire justice to individuals in such circumstances, to bring them through public ac cusation, and enable them to retain their position in society, if they thought them innocent.—(Loud cheers.) With that feeling he maintained that a publication of that kind, under the public-spirited conduct of those gentlemen who composed the body having the control of the Times, was most valuable, most essential to the in terest of society.—(Loud cheers.) In thus proposing " the health of the Proprietors of the Times," he was greatly delighted to find that his Hon. and excellent Friend, Mr. Walter, sat on his right.—(Cheers.) He very well knew that that gentleman had for some time had very little to do with that paper, but still he believed his anxiety on all occasions to see justice done in the Times to the interests of the community was so greet, even if his hand should never be out of his pocket, that he would do anything to carry out the objects of the establish ment. And, therefore, he begged to propose the health of Mr. Walter—(Cheers)—as one of the original pro prietors of the Times—(Cheers)—a gentleman who had taken a great interest in its conduct, to whose enter prise, intelligence, and judgment, much of the success of that newspaper was owing— (Cheers)—a gentleman who, as a Member of Parliament, was the first to take up the Poor-law question—(Loud cheers)—and who, in all his arrangements in rubric and private life, had done such invaluable service to society—( Loud cheers)—he begged to propose " The health of Mr. Walter, and prosperity to the Times newspaper." The toast was drunk with all the honours. Mr. WALTER then addressed the company in the fol lowing terms :—I cannot express how deeply I feel the honour you have done me. I can hardly so much as acknowledge in the simplest terms any of your Lord ship's expressions of kindness, as intended for myself, so far do they surpass anything that I could claim or ex pect. Connected as I have been throughout life with the trade of London, it is most gratifying to find, at this time of day, that I possess your good opinion to such an extent. From this city lam myself sprung, and what ever I have or am is owing to my exzriions within its bosom, and the fav,lurahlo manner in which they have been there received.—(Hear, hear.) The occasion on which you are met is one for which I cannot remember a parallel.—(Cheers.) You will excuse me, then, if I feel some embarrassment in referring to it. You have put up in that splendid edifice which is the com mercial centre of this metropolis, not to say of the world, a perpetual memorial to the honour of a por tion of the daily press. It is needless to say how many might covet the distinction you have given to one. But there is no occasion for jealousy. You have not under taken the invidious task of deciding between the political merits, the independence, the ability, the eloquence of the daily papers. On those points the public are the judges.—(Hear, hear.) With them your memorialists and this day's festivities have nothing to do. One single act has called forth these flattering, these overpowering testimonies—(Cheers)—one single act, not above the honourable desires of other journals, but possibly be yond their means of execution.—(Hear, hear.) When all are doing what they can to serve the public, the Times was fortunately enabled to do what it did by the manifold resources at its disposal—its numerous and trustworthy continental agents, its regular correspond• ence, and the other facilities of an establishment which has grown up into unprecedented magnitude.—(Loud cries of "Hear.") But I need scarcely say—for nowhere are the ways to greatness better known than in this City—that this journal could not have achieved the service you this day reward, unless it had been long and successfully engaged in similar labours.—(Hear, hear.) Its power is.the fruit and the proof of its honest ex ertions.—(Cheers.) You will hear from my Hon. Friend at the bottom of the table enough respecting the single act which you are commemorating. It is not necessary for me to go into details, with which some of you are much more familiar than I am. The case was laid be fore me at the time in a general way, and my advice asked. I certainly gave my advice and assistance, and they were such as you have this day done me the honour to think that I was likely to offer.—(Hear, hear.) But lest I should seem to take more than my due, allow me to declare why I so readily accepted your flat: ering in vitation. A comparison, not inappropriate to this place of hospitality, will explain my meaning. An English man may be visiting another country, or may have adopted it for his own home. His affections may still be in the land of his birth, the land of his education, of all his earlier, of all his dearest connexions. He is pre sent at a festive meeting, and hears a toast given, which his presence has possibly suggested—" . England," and perhaps his own name associated with it—" England, and such a one." The toast would be flattering to him, to his national and honest pride.—(Hear, hear.) If, besides, he had been something of a political or public character—(Hear, hear)—if, before he had left his na tive land, be had assisted at those very councils which had endeared his country to those new friends by whom he is surrounded—if he had been known for the part he had taken in any great work of British enter prise, British art, or British humanity—his satisfaction would be increased.—(Cheers.) He is an Englishman, though absent from his native land. Such is my position with regard to the Times. It is my literary and politi cal country ; and dear to me it is. —(Cheers.) And so are those by whom it is conducted, upon the honourable principles upon which it was always conducted in its pro gress to its present celebrity—(Cries of " Hear, hear") and in conformity with that advice and those counsels which age and experience have enabled me to offer.— (Great cheering.) In speaking of the memorial which has been the occasion of this day's meeting, I had al most forgotten another, which promises to be still more durable, and which on many accounts is even of a more gratifying character. I mean the exhibitions which you have founded in two o f our chief metropolitan schools. This method of recording your sentiments is of the noblest and most characteristic kind.—(Cheers.) It may enable a youth to pursue there studies, and make those attainments, which will qualify him to act an ihe • portant part in the literature of his country,without which aid he might have pined in poverty, or sunk in vice. Happier be the fate of genies among us ; and yours be the approbation of your own hearts for having made this effort to raise it. Gentlemen, you have consulted the highest interests of the public by showing that you have your eye on the press.—(llear, hear.) The press has been called the fourth estate. It is not for me to say whether it be so; but every reflecting man must admit that it is a powerful instrument for good or for evil. The public, therefore, have a deep interest in the inte grity and judgment of those by whom it is directed. For my own part, I would always recommend that the. strictest vigilance be shown by the public with regard to those persons who are supposed to influence its movements, since nothing tends so much to corrupt the best institutions as unlimited confidence and the absence of control. The press is exposed to unexampled tempta tions.—(Hear, hear.) Politicians and speculators are only too happy to secure its assistance, or its silence, by a share in their public or their private spoils. In fact, the bribery at the disposal of speculators in one species of enterprise, and ofstatesmen and politicians in the pro motion of their views and the attainment of their objects, is enough to corrupt all the newspapers in the kingdom. —(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") If this great and in creasing power of the press is to be cherished in a right direction, I do not know where it can look for support except to the commercial and other great interests of the country. By none are strict i n t egr it y, t rut h , open ness, and strightforwardness more prized.—(Cheers.) You know that the complicated and delicate structure of the mercantile system depends on the maintenance of these qualities.—(Hear, hear.) They are your school and your code.—(Loud cheering.) You quickly detect their absence; and, as all may see by the example of this day's proceedings, you uninediltely perceive their presence, and no less promptly reward it.—(Hear.) With all my partiality fo r the press, you will see that . I am riot blind to its faults . It is a really free press If am advocating. It is in your pewer to presery influence the ree press. To the immeasurabl e value of that I will quote the testimony of one of the , most celebrated men of his day —I mean Mr. Sheridan. With all his faults, I question whether we shall see in our , time a man of equal talents, or more consistent politics. These were his words:—" Give me but the liberty of the press, and I will give to the Minister a venal House of Peers—l will give him a corrupt and servile House of Commons—l will give him the full swing of the patronage of office—l will give him the whole host of Ministerial influence—l will give him all the power that place can confer upon him to purchase up submission and overawe resistance—and yet, armed with the liberty of the press, I will go forth to meet him undhsma vecl—l will attack the mighty fabric he has reared with that mightier engine —I will shake down from its height corruption, and bury it beneath the ruins of the abuses it was mea nt to shelter.' —(Loud applause.) Gentlemen, I beg to repeat to you my thanks, and the expression of my feelings also, so far as I am able to ex pros:, them.—(Cheers.) r THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMI3ER 5, 1846. 1 ' Mr. WALTER again rose and said, though the honour of proposing the toast, with which I shall conclude, I might have been assigned to an abler person, yet I am sure that none could have undertaken it with more zeal than myself. The occupant of the civic chair has a rare combination of functions to discharge, and should, therefore, have a rare combination of virtues ; as public spirit, ability for business, a nice sense of justice and honour, good temper, and warm social affections.— (Great cheering.) You will indicate your opinion whether these high qnalities are united in our present chief magistrate, by the manner in which you receive the toast. I therefore now propose, " The health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."—(Great cheering.) The LORD MAYOR, in acknowledgment of the toast, said, he felt that his Hon. and excellent friend Mr. Walter had depicted precisely what a Lord Mayor should be. He was only sorry his humble abilities had not enabled him to realise the views of his highly esteemed friend. Before sitting down he begged to pro pose the next toast on the list—" The health of their honorary secretary, Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes ;" on whom so much duty had devolved in the course of the committee's operations, and who had so admirably per formed his functions that the committee had subscribed to present him with a salver commemorative of his im portant services, which he now begged to present to him as a memorial, not valuable so much on account of its intrinsic worth as of the part he had taken in conduct ing to so successful an issue the Times testimonial. Mr. Alderman IL HuGnEs then rose and said—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,—l feel deeply grateful for the kind compliment paid me by my brother committee men in the unanimous resolution engraved on the salver now presented me in their name in such handsome terms by your Lordship, to whom I beg to express my best acknowledgments. lam happy to avail myself of the opportunity thus afforded me of reviving in the recollec tion of those present some of the circumstances con nected with the movement now so successfully perfected. The deeply-ramified conspiracy exposed in the trial " Bogle v. Lawson," was concocted in 1839, and had for its object the plunder of the principal European bankers to the extent of about 1,000,0001. sterling, by means of circular letters of credit, purporting to be of Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, Mills, and Company. The Times jour nal was instrumental in exposing this enormous super structure of fraud. The proprietors of that most . able and influential journal, at immense risk in the first in stance, laid bare, by their publication, that most nefa rious conspiracy, and afterwards, with spirit, ability, and .uncompromising integrity, sustained and completed the exposure. It was universally felt that the unmea sured praise and warmest gratitude of every honest member of the community were due to the proprietors for this display of public spirit, energy, and fearless ness, and that the exposure of such schemes by the public press was of incalculable value to the public in general, and to the commercial part of the com munity in particular. Although, therefore, the triumph of the Times was signal and complete, the mercantile public could not content itself with silently congratulating the proprietors of that spirited journal upon their victory, but, regretting, in common with all who wish well to justice and detest crime, that that vic tory was obtained at such an enormous cost, and also that the proprietors refused to allow the public at large to express its gratitude by reimbursing them their outlay, determined to take measures for recording in a more permanent and substantial manner, the sense of obligation conferred by them upon the commercial world. Accordingly Messrs. Rothschild, Masterman, Baring, and ethers of the leading merchants and bankers of the City of London, in September, 1841, requested the then Lord Mayor to convene a meeting on the subject, which was held at the Mansion-house on the Ist of Oc tober in that year, and over which the Lord Mayor pre sided. Resolutions were passed, and . a subscription opened; and, notwithstanding it was limited in the case of firms to ten guineas, and of individuals to five guineas, upwards of 2,7001. was immediately raised. The sub scriptions were 555 in number, and, as will be seen from the following analysis, the compliment thus paid to the Times proceeded alike from all classes of the commu • nity :-38 public companies; 64 magistrates and officers of the Corporation of London; 58 London bankers and joint-stock banks; 129 London merchants, manufac turers, and traders; 116 country bankers, manufacturers, and traders; 21 foreign bankers, merchants, and public companies; and 129 individual s and anonymo u s. The sub scriptioli from fiireign bankers, merchants, and public companies were from Alexandria, Antwerp, Cadiz, Cal cutta, Cologne, Dantzic, Florence, Geneva, Hamburgh, Laguayra in South America, Macao, Malta, Messina, Naples, Newfoundland, Ostend, Paris, Venice, Vevay, and Wiesbaden—thus literally embracing the commer cial representatives of different languages and blood from Antwerp to Cadiz. Of the sum so raised, nearly 1,8001. was invested in the purchase of 2,000/. Three per Cent. Consols, in the names of the Lord Mayor, the Bishop of London, the Governor of the Bank of England, and the Chamberlain of London, all for the time being, the dividends to be applied to the support of two scho larships, to be called " The Times Scholarships," in con nexion with Christ's Hospital and the City of London School, for the benefit of pupils proceeding from those institutions to the University of Oxford or Cambridge ; and 150 guineas has been expended in the erection of a commemorative tablet, with a suitable inscription, in the New Royal Exchange, and a similar one at the Times printing establishment. All these objects have been most satisfactortly carried into effect; and tablets, commemorative of the establishment of " The Times Scholarships" have been placed in the Grammar-school of Christ's Hospital, and ow the principal staircase of the City of London School ; the former erected at a cost of above 150 guineas, bears the following inscription:-- "This Tablet was erected to commemorate the foundation of a scholarship for the benefit of the pupils of this house, proceeding to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, to be denominated The Times Scholarship,' which was esta blished out of a portion of a voluntary subscription, made by many merchants and bankers of London, and other commer cial places, in testimony of the warm admiration and grateful sense entertained by them of the indefatigable perseverance, distinguished ability, and unsparing disregard of expense, displayed by the proprietors of the Times newspaper, in the detection and exposure of the most remarkable and exten sively fraudulent conspiracy ever brought to light in the mercantile world, which was developed in the trial of 'Bogle versus Lawson,' A.D. 1841. " The proprietors of the Times having generously declined to accept any portion of the subscription, it was devoted to the foundation of two scholarships for the encouragement of education for ever: one of which is assigned to the pupils of Christ's Hospital. "July 26, 1842." The following is a copy of the inscription on the table ,n the City of London School: — This Tablet was erected as a perpetual Memorial of the foundation of the Times Scholarships ; one in connexion with the City of London School, the other with Christ's Hospital, for the benefit of Pupils proceeding from those Institutions to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The Endowment of these Scholarships was effected out of the proceeds of a subscription entered into by English and foreign merchants, bankers, and other persons interested in the preservation of mercantile confidence and security. To testify their warm admiration and grateful sense of the moral courage, indefatigable perseverance, and distinguished ability shown by the Proprietors of the Times Newspaper, A. D. MDCCCXLI, in the ready detection and fearless exposure of a most extensive and fraudulent Conspiracy, which, from its subtle and daring character, was unparalleled in the Annals of Commerce. These distinguished Services derived an additional lustre from the unexampled generosity and disinterestedness of the Proprietors, in their refusal to be reimbursed any portion of the heavy expenses incurred in the progress of their noble and arduous exertions. The Honorary SECRETARY having again returned thanks for the compliment which had been paid to him, sat down amidst loud cheers. The LORD MAYOR next proposed "The health of the Governor of the Bank of England, the Bishop of London, and the trustees of the Times exhibitions." Mr. HEATH, in acknowledging the toast, said the con duct of the proprietors and editors of the Times well entitled them to the gratitude of all commercial men ; indeed, be might say that, as the representative not only of all the bankers in London, but of all in Europe, no eulogiurn too high could be pronounced upon them. The LORD Masan had great pleasure in next pro posi❑g the health of John Masterman, Esq., M.P. Mr. MASTERMAN felt truly obliged for the kind man ner in which his health had been proposed. The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The health of Mr. Thomas Baring, and the Members of the House of Com mons," which was drunk with loud cheers. Mr, T. BARING, M.P., said that, with reference to the immediate occasion of the present meeting, to nothing in this country was the House of Commons more obliged than to the Times newspaper for a faithful and honest report of its proceedings.—(Cheers.) He repeated that to none should the whole of the Members of the House of Commons be more grateful than to the Times, because in its columns they found good speeches faithfully re ported. and when bad speeches were made, their flimsy materials were put in the most becoming dress.— (Cheers.) They were met on the present occasion to do honour to the honest exercise of a great power.— (Cheers.) He might differ from some who were pre sent, but he would fairly state his opinion, that though he might differ from the political and commercial views of the Times, and the manner in which those views were advocated, there could be no difference of opinion as to the talent, the zeal, the perseverance, the integrity with which its power was exercised—(Cheers) —as well as its freedom from Ministerial and Government control, which constituted it a most useful organ in the state.— (Loul cheers.) They all knew the power of the press; they had heard in the course of the evening the words of Sheridan, which immortalised it. No doubt there were many evils for a public press such as the Times to attack, many abuses to expose, but it might truly be said, although occasioltally a modest individual might be the victim of public exposure, yet in the aggregate there could be no doubt "the fourth estate' exercised its powers with propriety, ability, integrity, and usefulness for all classes of the community.—(Cheers.) Whatever difference there might be among them in politics, of this there was but one opinion in regard to the Times.— . (Cheers.) He happened to know the circumstances of the conspiracy whose successful exposure by the Times they had met to celebrate. Very early in the progress of its discovery, Mr. Dobie, the solicitor for the Times —whose constant activity, zeal, and judgment, were en titled to the most honourable mention in that company —(Cheers)—communicated with the correspondents of the firm of which he was a member. It was a compli cated scheme of fraudulent continental conspiracy ; the greatest danger existed that it would be carried out by numerous and skilful agents. The Times was the first to disclose it ; the Times was the only power to stop it ; v end the Times having done thus much, havi ng ga i ne d a ll t h e good for the commercial world the immediate exposure of the villanous scheme could afford, might, i n the uncertainty of the law of libel, with the difficulty of procuring evidence, have rested satisfied with the attainment of the object it had then accom plished. But no ; the Times showed its energy, the cor rectness of its information, its indefatigable zeal and re sources, in completely disclo,ing the fraud ; and richly bad the talent, public spirit, and devotion of its con ductors earned for them that " Testimonial " in the Royal Exchange, which but feebly expressed the unan imous approbation of the commercial world.—(Loud cheers.) He hoped the House of Commons, of which he was a Member, would on all occasions exercise the same zeal, honesty, and integrity in detecting fraud and punishing crime which had been so successfully mani fested by the Times journal.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The health of the Magistrates of the City of London," whereupon Sir P. LAURIE returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The health of Mr. Dobie, the solicitor to the Times," whose talent, skill, and industry had done so much in procuring the evi dence on which the exposure of the fraudulent conspi racy depended, and to whose efforts the public at large were greatly indebted.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. WALTER, in Mr. Dobie's absence, felt very un willing that this toast should pass without remark. He regretted Mr. Dobie's absence, but he hoped he might be allowed, in one word, to acknowledge: the compliment which had been paid to that gentleman, and to express his own sense of that gentleman's distinguished merits. The LORD MAYOR next proposed the health of his excellent and worthy friend Baron Rothschild, whose name alone would give character over all Europe to the proceedings of such a meeting, and whom he had great pleasure in seeing amongst them that evening.—(Loud cheers.) Baron ROTHSCHILD, in returning thanks, expressed his surprise that such a toast had been given from the chair. It certainly was not in the list of toasts he had seen, and he had at all times great diffidence in ad dressing a public assembly. If he were to express his opinions on that occasion, he should merely be repeating what his excellent friend Mr. Baring had so well said.— (Cheers.) A debt of gratitude we felt they all owed to the proprietors and other gentlemen who were connected with that powerful organ, the Tines newspaper, and its successful exposure of a great and well-organised system of fraud would be long remembered by all who were connected with commercial pursuits.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES next proposed the health of Mr. John Walter, jun.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. WALTER, jun., briefly acknowledged the toast. The health of Mr. Tite, the architect of the Royal Ex change, was next proposed amidst loud cheers, for which that gentleman returned thanks in a neat speech. The LORD MAYOR next proposed the health of Dr. Rice, the head-master of Christ's Hospital. The Rev. Dr. RICE returned thanks in a speech ofgreat ability and eloquence, in which he eulogised the - public spirit and manly virtue of the Times proprietary. The LORD MAYOR next proposed the health of those excellent and able gentlemen who took the most active part in the management of the Times newspaper. Mr. J. T. DELANE, in his own name, and in behalf of his colleagues, briefly expressed his deep sense of the kindness of the Lord Mayor and the gentlemen present for the manner in which they had drunk the toast. Mr. J. D. FOWLES begged to propose a toast. He was old enough to recollect the introduction of the first "City article," a feature which had been continued in every newspaper since. He could bear his testimony to the great honesty, integrity, ability, and zeal with which that department in the Times had from the first been conducted.—(Cheers.) This he would say, that those in the City who felt it necessary to communicate with this department of that large and influential jour nal, had always received from his friend Mr. Alsager the most respectful attention upon all occasions. —(Loud cheers.) For one, he felt deeply grateful to him. The public possessed in that department the most useful communications collected from all quarters, and exhi bited in a well-digested and lucid form. None of the other newspapers had in that respect at all approached the Times, and he defied any one to detect in any por tion of the City article anything like partiality.—(Loud cheers.) This compliment was due to his friend Mr. Alsager ; to him the whole of this great merit was owing ; and he had no doubt that the company would think that their duty to the Times was ill-performed without paying that gentleman the mark of respect to which he was entitled.—(Cheers.) Mr. ALSAGER said, that however incompetent he might be, and however he might look around him for assistance on that occasion, yet, in responding to such a compliment, feeble as he was, he must sustain the whole weight of it. He could assure his worthy friend who had proposed the toast, that he felt very deeply the compliment paid to the department to which he hap pened so long to belong. It was now founetimes seven years since he appeared in the City as the medium of commercial communication between it and the con ductors of the Times. During that time he thought he might say, without at all invading the province of truth, he never betrayed a friend, nor made an enemy. The principle by which all were governed on the establish ment was the feeling of public independence, each being emulous, irrespective of party concerns, to perform con scientiously the important duties entrusted to him.— (Cheers.) If he ever failed, it was only from want of capacity.—(Loud cheers.) The party then partook of coffee in the drawing room. The proceedings terminated at eleven o'clock. NATIONAL SECURITY BANK. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) In a country like this, which has attained its position as the most powerful nation in the world solely by its commercial credit and resources, any proposition which is calculated to preserve and invigorate that germ of all its prosperity, must be an object of public interest. Our advertising columns of this day contain the announce ment of a banking project upon a novel combination of principles, which we are convinced will meet with general commendation, proportioned to the great benefit which cannot fail to result from such an institution. Our warnings have been many. We all recollect the hurricane of distrust and insolvency which not long since swept away the joint-stock banks of the United States before it. The periodical convulsions we have experi enced at home have proved destructive to numbers of private banks, and the repeated fall of some large joint stock establishments of our own from time to time, an nounces that their foundations are yet unsettled. A more meritorious object, in a commercial view, than that which proposes to introduce a system tending to bestow upon them the needful stability, we cannot imagine. The title of the National Security Bank, to which we refer, sufficiently indicates its character. As its name imports, it binds itself up with the financial credit of the country. Assuming the true functions of a bank, it pre sents itself as the safe depository of capital, and the con venient instrument for affording those facilities which fall within the banker's legitimate operations. On the other hand, it excludes all possibility of lending encou ragement to reckless speculations, of yielding to the necessities of private interests and connexions, or of aiming, by increased risks, at the accumulation of greater profits. As king as different classes of society exist, with various wants in their own peculiar circumstances, banks will be found to adapt their transactions to the calls of their constituents, from the inflexible severity of the Bank of England down to the lax accommodation of houses in the most speculative manufacturing districts. Between these extremes the National Security Bank occupies, for the first time, an intermediate station. With an unimpeachable stability, it will offer induce. ments to the general customer, which combine in them selves every advantage for which a banker's doors ought to be opened. _ _ An ample field, we apprehend, presents itself in the metropolis for the operations of such an establishment. A remarkable diminution has taken place in the number of private bankers, hardly replaced, considering the continued and vast accession to its population, by the joint-stock banks that have more lately been founded. In a still greater degree, perhaps, the growth of its mer cantile business has been developed. The crowded state of the counters of the principal houses, often attended with inconvenience to the customer, sufficiently illus trates this observation. We recommend our readers to the perusal of the prospectus with these remarks, which we have no doubt will be confirmed by their deliberate judgment. The plan will, we hope, be received by the public, and re warded with that measure of success which we sincerely believe it to merit. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE SEPT. 2, 1846. The Queen has ',leased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Knight of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland unto David Pollock, 11.e..1., Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Bombay. Mr. Charles Durham, a gentleman residing in Pleasant place, hackney. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, who gave his evidence with 'risible emotion, that in the early part of the presant year an unfarturiate iniimacy had been clandestinely cornmanca.d between the prisoner, who was a rnarrioal mao, alai the witneis's:daugh t.. r, a young lady, only eighteen years of age, which resulted in her elope ment from home in June last. After a few weeks she was left in a boarding-house in the Rue de Coigny, at Boulogne. The prisoner, after effecting her ruin, had remained with her at that house, where they assumed the name of De la Porte, until all their means were ex hausted, and a heavy bill contracted, when he suddenly abandoned her. Since her restoration to her family every means had been adopted to prevent a renewal of the intercourse, which witness believed to have been fully effected, until the preceding evening, when, on re turning home, he was informed by his daughter that the prisoner had just left the house, after using the most alarming threats to induce her to renew the intimacy. The poor girl was dreadfully distressed and agitated, and while endeavouring to tranquAlise her mind, he was disturbed by a violent knocking at the door, at which he fund the prisoner, who denia,rdA admittance, which witnes refused arid closed the door, upon which he made his way round to the rear of the premises, and having scaled the garden wall, kept up a constant knocking at the back door until the arrival of a policeman, when he was given into custody. Mrs. Ann Stockweller, a married lady, residing next door to . the prosecutor, stated that in the early part of the evening she saw the prisoner at the street door in conversation with that gentleman's daughter, and heard her exclaim, "For God's sake go away, or I shall go mad." To which the prisoner vehemently replied, that unless she consented to accianpany him he was deter- mined to fire the house. On being asked by the Magistrate if he wished to give any answer to the charge of molesting the prose cutor's family, the prisoner, with great effrontery, re plied that his visit was quite justifiable, as he had gone by appointment, and that the previous statement of the father was much exaggerated, as he owed no debts at Boulogne when he left the young lady and returned to this country. Mr. BnorGwroN severely reprehended the prisoner's conduct, which displayed as great a degree of heartless depravity as h id ever come under his notic , i ; and said that as he considered it necessary to take the most ef fectual means to secure the future protection of his un happy victim and her father, he should require the prisoner to enter into his own recognizance in 801., and find two sureties in 501., to be of goo behaviour for the next six months, and 24 hours' notice must be given to ascertain the sufficiency of the hail. LAMBETH. W. Garter Willoughby Hellier, a fish salesman at Bil lingsgate, appeared before Mr. Elliott, to answer to a summons take n out against him by Hanningham, an inspector on the S , ,uth- Eastern Railway, which charged him with attempting to defraud the company of 125., and for which offence he was liable, under the company's Act, to a penalty of 40s. John Trewrio, a ticket collector at the Brieklayers' Arms station, deposed that on the night of Sunday week, in collecting the tickets of the ten o'clock train, he found the defendant and two other persons seated in a second-class carriage, though they bad but third-class tickets. On their refusing to pay witness the difference of fare, he took them before the superintendent of the station. Mr. George Weekly, a clerk in the company's em ployment, stated that the defendant was at first very abusive, but ultimately offered to pay 123., the difference of his own and that of the two other persons' fares, provided he were allowed till the following morning, as he had no money about him. On leaving his card, and promising to call the following morning and pay the money, witness allowed him to go. He did call on Tuesday, but only offered to pay half the money. Mr. Hellier, in reply to the charge, said, that on the evening of Sunday week he procured a third-class ticket at Ramsgate for town, and having done so got into what he at the time considered an excellent carriage. On arriving at Ashford, however, he and others were peremptorily ordered out and desired to get into another train. The crowd was here so pressing and the con fusion so groat, that there was the greatest possible dif ficulty in obtaining any seat at all. While the bell was being rung, and a number of passengers unprovided with places, a policeman belonging to the company opened the door of one of the carriages, and called out that there was room there for three, and he (defendant), an old man and his daughter, who had accompanied him from Ramsgate, got into the vacant places. In fact, so great was the confusion, that he had no choice whatever between getting into the carriage opened for him or being left behind, and therefore what he had done was from necessity, not choice. The change, he begged to assure his worship, from a third to a second-class car riage was by no means an improvement; on the con trary, that which he had left was vastly more comfort able than the one he had got into, and altogether he considered the attempt to get from him more money nothing less than an imposition. If, however, the magis trate should order him to pay the additional fare, he should do so both for himself and the poor man and his daughter. _ _ Mr. Weekly here read from the Company's printed time-table a caution to be observed in changing from the branch carriages to those on the regular line, and said it was quite impossible the defendant could mistake the difference between the second and third-class carriages, as the latter were open and uncovered, while the former were perfectly enclosed. The defendant declared that this was not the fact. The carriage he got into at Ramsgato was a "Parliamentary" carriage, roofed in, and infinitely more agreeable and comfortable, as he had before stated, than what was now called the second class vehicle on the regular line. Mr. ELLIOTT inquired if there were compartments railed off on the line at the stations, as on the Great Western, for the different class passengers ; for if so he did not see how a passenger could make the mistake of going to a second instead of a third-class carriage? Mr. Weekly replied that there was no such regulation at Ashford, as the number of branch trains and passengers meeting there precluled the possibility of adopting it. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that under the circumstances, and the earritv.,!es of the second and third-class being somewhat similar, such a mistake as that mentioned by the defendant might be made. It wac, however, quite clear that, by his own undertaking, he had rendered himself liable to Fay the difference of the fares, amount ing to 12s. The company did not wish to press for a penalty ; and if, therefore, the defendant paid the 125., as he promised to do, there was an end of the case. The defendant declared that from first to last the difference in the fare was not the object that actetated him in refusing to pay. He would now bow to the magis trates decision by paying 12c. and costs. no objection to accept of bail, himself in 1001., and 'two sureties of 25/. each. The magistrate also adjudged San derson, who attended voluntarily, to enter into his own recognisance of 50/., to appear on the same day, and directed that every exertion should be used to procure the attendance of Huggins, the alleged acceptor of the bill, at the next examination. MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGIS TRATES. The usual monthly meeting of Middlesex Magistrates took place on Thum lay, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell green, for the transaction of county business. Mr. Pownall in the chair. The Deputy Clerk of the Feace having read the mi nutes of the last Court, and disposed of the routine business, proceeded to lay before the Court the reports of the visiting justices of the several county prisons, each of which presented favourable accounts of the health, discipline, and general good conduct of the prisoners confined within the respective gaols. In the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, there were no fewer than 1,031 prisoners —namely, 775 males, 256 females, and 9 children. The House of Correction at Westminster con tains 651 prisoners, of whom there are only two males and one female in the infirmary. The report was received. Mr. WHALESBY gave notice of a motion, for the abo lition of female hard labour on the treadmill in West minster Bridewell. The following correspondence between the late Secre tary of State, Sir James Graham, and the present Home Secretary, Sir G. Grey, and the Committee of Visitors of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, relative to the pro posed additional asylum, was laid before the Court:— "Finsbury-square, June 5, 1846. "Sir,—As Chairman of the Committee of Visitors of the Middlesex Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, in the absence of Mr. Talk, I obey their wishes, and, express their hope that you will not adopt any conclusion on the sub ject of the observations which they have submitted to you on the 22d .of May, as to an additional lunatic asylum fur the county of Middlesex, without previously affording them the favour of a personal interview with you ; and that they trust the importance of the matter will appear to you to justify such an appropriation of your valuable time.—And I have the honour to be your obedient servant, "J. WILDS. "To the Right Hon. Sir James Graham." " Whitehall, June 9. 1846. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the sth inst., and to inform you that before he gives any final opinion on the subject of the proposed additional lunatic asylum for the county of Middlesex, he will be ready to receive the Committee of Visitors of the Hanwell Asylum, and to appoint a time for the purpose.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " S. M. PHILLIPS. " To John Wilks, Esq., Finsbury-square." Since the Ministerial changes, a second letter, in closing Sir James Graham's reply, was addressed to Sir George Grey, to which the following acknowledgment was bent:— "Whitehall, Aug 4,1846 " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter and its in closure, and to inform you that he will appoint as early a day as possible for the interview with the Committee of Visitors of the Middlesex Pauper Lunatic Asylum.- I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient, servant, • " To C. A. Tulk, Totteridge Park." " W. SOMERVILLE. The Court was only occupied half an hour, and did not consist of more than twelve members. The whole of the business having been diposed of, the Court ad journed at half-past twelve o'clock. DERBY ELECTION. TIIE POLLING.—RETURN OF MR. STRUTT. DERBY, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.— The election has just terminated iu the triumphant re turn of Mr. Strutt by a majority of 284. Last evening Sir Digby Mackworth's friends threw open the public houses. Upon ascertaining the fact, upon indisputable evidence, Mr. Barker (Mr. Strutt's legal adviser) waited upon Sir Digby Mackworth, and represented the matter to him. Sir Digby said that it was quite unknown to hire and he would sge that the practice was put an end to. There is no doubt that the worthy Baronet gave instructions to that effect, but, nevertheless, there has been treating (and something else) on the Tory " Anti- Popery " side, and there is abundant evidence of it. The state of the poll at nine o'clock this morning was as follows : Stria 142 Mackworth At ten o'clock, it was— Strutt 359 Mack worth At twelve o'clock Mr. Strutt was 300 a head, and at the close of the poll the numbers stood thus:— Strutt B4B Mackworth Majority for Strutt The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheering from the hundreds of persons congregated near to the Reporter office. Many electors favourable to Mr. Strutt did not vote, as they considered it unneces nary; and a few of the Dissenters held aloof, though some of them would have voted if it had been necessary. At the last election Mr. Strutt polled 874 votes; Mr. Pole (the Conservative) polled 587. Majority for Mr. Strutt, 288. The declaration of the poll will take place to-morrow morning. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLun. —The monthly meeting of this club last evening was but very thinly attended, there being scarcely twenty members present. Captain Wheeler having been called to the chair, the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. The whole of the bu;iness of the evening consisted of ballotting for the Hon. C. G. Lambart, of Fawley, Hants ho was duly elected), fixing the time of the closing trip, and proposing gentlemen for ballot at the next monthly meeting. It was arranged that the closing trip should take place on Saturday, the 19th instant, to start at three o'clock in the afternoon from Greenwich, and cast anchor for the night at Frith. Amongst those pro posed for ballot at the next monthly meeting was Viscount Exmouth. BANKRUPTS.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTIIERiV ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Sept. 2. GERARD, BART. V. CROSSFIELD AND OTHERS. This was another action by Sir John Gerard against the defendants, who are alkali manufacturers, near St Helens, to recover compensation for the injury sustained by the plaintiff's estate in consequence of the vapours arising in the course of the manufacture. The case was similar to that tried yesterday, of " Gerard v. Muspratt," and the evidence almost precisely the same. A verdict was finally returned for the plaintiff—Damages, 4001. The amount of damage which, on the plaintiff's case, it was calculated the woods had sustained from the de fendants' works was upwards of 3,0001. Mr. Martin, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Cowling, for the plaintiff; Mr. Baines, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. Atherton, for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Elizabeth Price was charged with having attempted to commit suicide. A policeman was called by a gentleman to the steps of London-bridge, and he there saw the prisoner crying, and apparently unconscious of what she was about. He asked her where she was going, and she re plied, while the tears ran down her face, " I am going to make a hole in the water," ann she wtes just on the point of suiting the action to the word when the man seized and saved her. The LORD MAYOR—Was she in liquor at the time ? Witness—She appeared as if she had been drinking. The prisoner —No, I never drink. The prisoner's husband here stepped forward, appa rently in great affliction, and said, "My Lord, she is one of the best women in the world, but she is subject violent fits of the quinsey, and she does not know water from earth, or air, when she is in that state." The policeman said he had no doubt at all that she had been excited by drink. The prisoner's husband—l'll answer for her, my Lord, that she never will attempt anything of the kind. She has been seven years my wife, and she never com mitted herself before and never will commit herself again. answer fur her my Lord. The Lord MAYOR—Attempts of this dreadful kind are becoming so frequent that we shall be obliged to punish delinquents to the utmost extent of the law. The prisoner's husband—Oh, my Lord, for God's sake don't punish her—she could not have known what evil she was committing. For the sake of me—her poor husband—forgive her. I'll be answerable for her—she has been an excellent wife to me fer seven years. The LORD MAYOR—You appear to me to deserve to have a good wife, and I hope she will show herself, by her respect for your feelings, to be worthy of a good husband. I shall deliver her over to your care. The prisoner's husband—l thank your Lordship. She will be safe with me. It would be hard for any man to get so good a woman. Mary . Truchard was also charged with having at tempted to destroy herself. The unfortunate creature had been seen by a gentle man walking in a distracted state towards Queenhithe Dock, and a watchman near the spot grasped her by the hips as she was flinging herself into the water. The landlady of the prisoner attended, and said that a more sober, quiet, honest person could not be found in the city of London. The Loan MAYOR—What, then, could have b d her to make this horrible attempt upon her own life ? The landlady said the prisoner had for the first time in her life had a few words with her daughter, who was not to be condemned in the transaction, and away she went to the dock, to release herself for ever. The prisoner said that since the day of her birth she never had been reproached by any one of her family, and although she had done wrong to her own child, she could not bear to be told of it. What could have induced her, however, to go near the water, she could not at all guess, and she hoped God and his Lordship would par don her the heavy sin. Two or three persons offered to be responsible for the future discretion of the prisoner, and The LORD MAYOR, after expressing his sincere re gret at two such deplorable cases in which the persons charged appeared to be of unexceptionable character, gave the poor woman up to the protection of her children. Henry J. Hyde, who was, on Wednesday, brought be fore the Lord Mayor, charged with having committed forgeries upon the banking-house of Smith, Payne, and Smith, was finally examined. The following was the additional evidence:—; Mrs. Ann Moore, housekeeper at No. 59, Fenchurch street, stated that she had the care of the offices of Mr. Pedley, the prisoner's master. The prisoner came to the office at about ten minutes past nine on the 2d Sep tember, and asked her for the key, which she gave to him. She saw him go into the office, and he soon after wards came to her and told her that Mr. Pedley would arrive presently, and returned the key to her. She did not see the prisoner again. She saw Mr. Pedley and gave him the key. The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner whether it was his wish to say anything ? Prisoner—Nothing. Committed for trial. Four boys were committed for trial upon charges of picking. pockets. They had followed gentlemen in the streets with surprising perseverance, until they got hold of the silk handkerchiefs, beyond which their ambition (lid not seem to have soared. BOW-STREET. Thomas James, a letter-carrier, was charged with stealing half a sovereign from a post-office letter. The letter in question had been posted at the Bishops gate-street receiving-house by a clerk of the London Docks, and a constable at the General Post-office de tected the prisoner in the act of destroying it, and found half a sovereign in his waistcoat pocket. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the letter, was remanded. Mr. HENRY expressed his surprise that the public did not now prefer the safer method of transmitting money by post-office orders; upon which Mr. Peacock (the Post-office solicitor) observed that, by a recent regulation, post-office orders may be had at nearly every receiving-house in London. WORSHIP-STREET. Joseph Dodge, a young man of rather smart appear ance, recently employed as assistant - secretary to a loan society at Kinesland, was placed at t h e b ar before Mr. Broughton, charged with creating a disturbance, and using violent and threatening language at the hope of MARKET NE WS.--( YES TERDAY CORN EXCHANGE. Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been somewhat on the increase, and we had a fair average number of samples of that article on sale. Still, however, the de mand was very steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on last market day, and at which a good clearance was effected. The imports of foreign Wheat have been Holders were very firm, and would not sell, except at is per quarter more money. The amount of business doing was, therefore, limited. No new Barley at market. Old qualities were quite as dear. We had a good demand for Malt, which went off as it came to hand, at rather improved currencies. Oats, the supply of which was small, were in fair request at full prices. Beans, peas, and Flour as last advised. ARRIVALS. Wheat. 3,740 qrs. English • • •• • • Irish •.•• •• Foreign •• .. •• Barley.

Prime Scots, Devons, &c., com manded a very steady sale, at fully Monday's quotations, otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at previous currencie9. We had on sale 270 Oxen and Cows, 1,460 Sheep and Lamb, and 36 Calves from abroad. The numbers of Sheep were small, while the Mutton trade was very firm, and in some instances a trifle more money was obtained for the best old Downs. Lambs moved off readily, at an advance of 2d per Blbs. The Veal trade was rather active, and prices were the turn higher. In Pigs a steady business was done, at late rates. Mulch Cows were dull, at from 161 to 181 each, including their small calf. a. d. to s.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET. Nearly 1,0(,0 pockets of New Hops have alteached us from Sussex and Kent, in excellen" condition. The demand, however, is by no means active; and the duty is called 190,000/. Old and Yearling Hops have declined quite 5s per cwt. The following are the prices obtained for the New samples:—Kent Pockets, 51 lOs to 6c 10s; Sussex Pockets, Si 5s to 61. (From the London New Price Current of September 4.) SUGAR.—To-day there was more desire evinced to pur chase Colonial &war of all kind, and merchants manifested more firmness. ' For %Vest India Muscavado Sugar of all orts former rates were insisted upon, and a fair business was transacted, the quantity sold amounting to 480 hhds and trcs, including the public sale of 99 hhds of Barbadoes, which went at former rates. REFINED.—To day Refined goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, although Brown Lumps were to be obtained at 60s to 61s 6d, according to quality. and Standard Lumps at 62s to 62s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar is held for former rates, but there is not so much demand. This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius offered at public sale was large, and amounted to 6,025 bags, still there was a brisker demand, and nearly the whole sold at and after the sale at the former value. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was more in demand, and 629 bags at public sale all sold at fully pre vious rates, and in some cases rather above. Fine white Benares brought 53s to 55s 6d, damp and washed 523 to 555, good strong sound yellow 495, and damp 48s. per cwt. FOREIGN. —This afternoon, at public sale, 694 baskets and 2,582 bags of Java were offered ; the white was nearly all withdrawn, and other sorts sold about is per cwt under the general valuations. COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with little at tention privately ; 210 bags, at public sale, of Plantation, were however sold at the full value. TEA.—Notwithstanding the large consumption there is going on, and the low rates that are current, still the trade . generally are not inclined to take more than there immediate wants require. Congou of low and middling quality is id to Id, the better kinds Id to 3d, Twankay Id to 2d, llyson 2d to 4d, Imperial and Gunpowder 6d to 10d lower than at that time in 1845. There has been a good businees transacted in the inferior sorts of Congou, but not at better prices, common only bringing 8d to 9d, good common 9d to 10d, but middling coarse 1014 to lid. The better kinds have been sparingly dealt in. In Pouchong little business has been transacted, although low and good quality can be obtained at 3d to 9d. Of Hyson several parcels have been sold, but at moderate rates. Of Imperial and Gunpowder several parcels have been sold, but at further reduced rates. For Twankay the market has a dull appearance. SPicizs.—To-day the market was abundantly supplied with Cassia Lignea, 3,212 chests being offered at public sale, but the trade were eager buyers, and the whole sold at an ad vance on the rates of the las't auctions of is to 2s per cwt. Jamaica Ginger sold at 21 Cs to 71 12s, and low 37s to 4ls per cwt.; Nutmegs taken in at 3s 3d for boled limed Dutch, and in the shell at Is 6d; of Malabar Pepper 2,040 bags all sold at the full value. SPlRlTS.—Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon rather lower terms, still little business has been transacted. , The value of Leeward Island is is 5d to 2s 6d proof with cer tificate, but the demand has been limited. Calcutta is little wanted, but is lld to 2s proof strength are the rates insisted upon. Demerara has been sparingly dealt in ; still holders ask 3s 2d to 3s 5d fur strong sorts. Brandy has been in excellent request, and the vintages of 1844 and 1845 have brought higher rates, whilst all other kinds fully sustained the former value. Geneva is wanted for export, common at 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and fine by the home trade at 2s 8d to 3s. RICE.—To-day there was more desire evinced to operate in Bengal Rice, and 1,314 bags at public sale all sold at full rates. Of Tapioca 339 barrels and 5 bags were offered at public sale, but a part only sold, Bahia at 1 3 Ad to 2 3 / 4 d, and better quality 3d to 4d per lb. COCIIINEAL.—There has been a much better demand for silvers, and an advance on the value of Id per lb has taken place; 550 bags of Honduras at auction all finding buyers at 4s 10d to 5s 10.1 per lb for low to fine quality.

TRAVELLING FROM FRANCE TO ENGLAND.—The service by the Northern Railroad, which will be opened from the Ist of September, renders the intercourse be tween France, England, Belgium, Germany, and Swit zerland, greatly more easy and rapid. By the train which leaves Paris at half-past eight in the morning, travellers will arrive the same evening at Boulogne and Calais, and by that which leaves Paris at seven o'clock in the evening, will reach Boulogne and Calais at twelve the next day, and may be in London by the dinner hour. The same train which leaves Paris at seven in the even ing, arrives at Mons the next morning at twenty minutes past seven ; at Ghent, at eight ; at Brussels, nine ; at Antwerp, eleven; at Ostend, at a quarter•past eleven; at Liege, at one in the afternoon; and at Cologne, by the Rhenish Railroad, at seven in the evening. Hence the way into Switzerland is by the Rhine steameboats, the German railroads, and that from Strasburg to Basle. THAMES. Two men, named James Lacey and Abraham Perriam, were brought before Mr. Ballantine, the former charged, on his own confession, with stealing fifteen dozen pewter pots, of various sizes, the property of Mr. Thomas Sims, the proprietor of the Earl of Effingham tavern and saloon, in the Whitechapel-road, and the other on suspicion of being a participator in the robbery. Mr. Pelham defended Perriam, who, up to the period of his apprehension, maintained an irreproachable character, and who keeps a small house, fitted up as a pastry-conk's shop and refreshment room adjoining the saloon, which he rents of a Mr. Wade, the lessee (under Mr. Tims) of the theatre attached, where dramatic representations are nightly given, under the superin tendence of Mr. Denvil, the tragedian. Lacy was waiter and servant to Perriam, and left his employ about six weeks ago. On Wednesday night Lacey delivered him self to Maloney, the constable who attends the saloon, to whom he made a confession that he and Perriam generally took the pots from the saloon after the per formances were over, and that Perriam gave him 6d. to purchase a frying-pan, in which they were melted down. He said the metal was disposed of to a marine store dealer, named Baldwin. Eves, a police-sergeant, subse quently made inquiry at the shop of Baldwin, who has been from home some time. The officer was informed by Mrs. Baldwin that Lacey had offered her pewter for sale, which she refused to purchase. Mr. Sims said he had lost 15 dozen pewter pots of various sizes, during the last six months, and that Per riam had access to every part of the premises, including the saloon. Lacey was in the practice of sleeping on the premises while employed by Perriam, of whose honesty he never entertained the least suspicion until the present time. _ _ Mr.Pclham read a letter written by Lacey to Perriain, threatening the latter with exposure for not giving him a good character to a person named Morgan. Mr. Pei. ham then urged that the accusation against Perriam was founded upon malice. _ _ _ Mr. BALLANTINE eventually decided on remanding. Lacey, on his own confession, till Thursday, and ac cepted bail for the appearance of Merriam on the same day. SOUTHWARK George Turner, a man of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham charged with obtaining 701. worth of leather, the property of Mr. Walland, a tanner, of Bermondsey, under false pretences. It appeared that in March, 1545, the prisoner called at the prosecutor's and selected a quantity of leather, of the value of 701., in payment for which he gave the acceptance of a person named Huggins for 50/., and the remainder in cash. When the bill became due it was ascertained that the acceptor had no effects, being insolvent at the time, and the prisoner could not be found, as he had removed altogether from his former place of abode. When he was at length discovered, his account of the transaction was, that he had pur chased the acceptance in question for 51. of a person named Sanderson, being ignorant at the time that the acceptor was insolvent. When application was made to Huggins on the subject, he had no recollection of having given his acceptance to Sanderson, but admitted that he had sent down two blank acceptances about the period of the above transaction to Manchester, and that one of them might be the bill in question, which was afterwards filled up without his authority. Sanderson explained before the magistrate that he had sold the accepted bill to the prisoner, and that he knew nothing of its having been subsequently filled up and put into circulation until informed of the fact. The prisoner denied that he absconded after lie had procured the leather, but admitted that he removed from the neighbourhood where he was living at the time, over to Whitecross-street, to more extensive premises. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that as the case at present stood, Sanderson's conduct in the affair did not appear to be without suspicion. Turner, however, was the man who had uttered the 501. bill, knowing at the time that the acceptor was in a state of insolvency. The presence of Huggins would be indispensable in the elucidation of the case, and it would then b 3 discovered whether there was any collusion amongst the parties to obtain money on each other's acceptances by means of what was termed "kite flying." The circumstances attending this affair were of a description to favour that impression, and in order that they might be thoroughly sifted, he should re mud the primer until Thursday next, but would Jim LATEST PRICES OF SHARES , IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER CO' PANIES' STOCK.
