The cheque was not altered in any way. The prisoner never stated to him to whom he had delivered the cheque. There was some talk about as to whom it was to be paid. Witness was at Mr. Bushe's office on Wednesday last, when Captain Richardson said he had delivered it to a person with thin mustaschios, rather sallow complexion, and thia stature. Witness thought the prisoner then stated that he had never seen the person before. Was not positive about that. Thought the prisoner said that the man called upon him at his private house, and he thought be said he delivered the cheque to him there. Never had had any conversation with the pri soner about it before any person. Cross-examined —The prisoner, witness believed, said that the person.to whom he gave the cheque was Howell's messenger.

Mr. Pulsford recalled and examined by the solicitor for the , prisoner.—As a cautious man, he should say he bad L ever seen the identical cheque for 5,0001. before. Mr. Baine, one of the solicitors of the company, was present M Mr. Bushe's office on Wednesday last, when the prisoner made a statement concerning a cheque for .5,000/., paid by Coutts • and Co. The prisoner said he bad seen the cheque, and referred to a previous interview he had had with Coutts and Company with respect to tbe cheque. The solicitor fur the prisoner objected to the exami nation, which was not pressed by Mr. Bushe. Abe Coulthurst, a partner in the house of Coutts and Co —Recollected Capt.

He said that the number of the cheque was in his handwriting. and that all was except the figure one and the 5,0001. He said that he had given the cheque to some person in the em ploy of an individual on the Stock Exchange.

Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting of the members of the above college was held in the rooms of the institution, Hanover-square. In the absence of the Earl of Clarendon, the chair was occupied by Ben jamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., and supported by the Earl of Antrim, Sir James Clarke, M.D., Colonel Wylde, Equerry to his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; Dr. Har nett, Professor Hoffer, Dr Daniell, Dr. Aston Key, Dr. Bevan, Mr. Tito, &c. After some introductory remarks from the chairman, the report (the first presented to the members) was read ; i:s details, as might be ex pected, bole reference more particularly to the positive transactions of the institution than to matters of public interest connected with the chemical art. Since the establishment in 1844 the total receipts, including those for the purposes of the new building, amounted to 5,556/. 195., and the disbursements to 4,517/. ss. 9d., thus leaving a balance of 1,033/. 3s. 3d. The sub scriptions, &c., amounted to 1,5711, and the donations to 2,693/. 3s. ; of the latter the sum of 1001. was re ceived from his Royal highness Prince .Albert, and a like amount was also forwarded by his Royal Highness as the representative of the Duchy of Cornwall. The donations to the building fund now amount to 1,7631., but more than 2,000/. will he required for carrying out the objects in view. It appears that with regard to the laboratory, the total cost of the building will exceed the original estimate, and will amount to 5,0001. Mr. Blakemore, M.P. for Wells, offered to supply 500/, .on fifteen other gentlemen subscribing 1001, each, and by this means the sum of 2,0001. was raised, under the de nomination of the Blakemore Fund, being, it appears, distinct from the general building fund. In the first year the number of students was twenty-six, and in the one just finished thirty-seven, fifteen having remained from the previous year. According to the statements of Professor Hoffer, the students had in each session exhi bited a considerable degree of proficiency. The fees paid by them amounted to 5271. 17s. The laboratory expenses amounted to 9211. 13s. This department will be fully opened in October next. We may add, that the new build ing at the rear of the house in Hanover square is fast approaching to completion. It extends into Oxford street. The foundation-stone, our readers may recollect, was laid a short time since by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The report added, that through the in strumentality of his Royal Highness Prince Albert ne gotiations had been concluded with the Prussian Go vernment, by which, in the event of the college not succeeding, M. Hoffman will be permitted to continue his professorship at Bonn. The report having been agreed to, the meeting proceeded to the election of pre sident, vice-presidents, and council. His Royal High ness Prince Albert was re-elected to the former post, which is not merely an honorary one, as the prince has an excellent knowledge of chemistry, and several times during the last session satisfied himself as to the pro ficiency of the students by interrogatories in the various departments of the art. The vice-presidents anti council comprise upwards of fifty members of :the nobility and gentry, &c., one of them being Lord John Russell. After votes of thanks to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the chairman, &c., the meeting was dissolved. AMERICAN SLAVERY. — Extract of a letter, dated Richmond, July 25, 1845 :—" An unpleasant occurrence took place in this city yesterday. A man who has a number of hired negroes in his employment was proceeding for seine slight offence to punish one of them by whipping, when the poor wretch, knowing his master's unmerciful nature, im plored that he might be hung at once instead of whipped.. This of course would not answer, and after tying the negro's h an d s behind him in the usual manner, the employer went into another room to procure his cowhide, when the negro taking advantage of his absence rushed from the room, jumped into the river, and was drowned."—American paper- 111 E LONDON GAZETTE.

" The Cornwall Railway has at length received the sanction of Parliament, and the advantages which may be expected from that line in its connexion with the South'Devon Railway are too obvious to require more particular explanation. `• The North Devon Railway has been less fortunate, and the failure o f t hi s sc h eme is the more to be regretted from its having involved also the loss of the Launceston and South Devon Railway, and of the Tavistock branch of the South Devon line. " In the cou rse o f t h e p a rliamentary struggle to pro mote these obj ec t s , consid e rable expense has unavoidab l y been incurred ; but your directors have the satisfaction to believe, th a t i t h as not b een w ithout beneficial results. Projects of a compet i ng c h ara cter have thus been de feated which, if unopposed, must certainly have suc ceeded, and would have proved greatly prejudicial to the interests of this company. " A branch from Aller, near Newton to Torquay, has been granted by Parliament ; and your directors are so fully impressed with its importance, that every exertion will be made to effect an early openinv, and active ope rations have already been commenced upon the line.

" A Bill has been obtained by the Ashburton, New ton, and South Devon Company, for a line from Ash burton to Newton, which it is expected will operate as a useful feeder to the South Devon Railway. "The application to Parliament by the Exeter, Tops ham, and Exmouth Company, for a line from Exmouth which was intended to have joined the South Devon Railway, near the Countess Weir-bridge, has proved unsuccessful. "Your directors have now to state that they are at present receiving money on debenture at 41 per cent. and that with further realisations from this source, addtd to the funds already at their disposal, they have reason to believe no very early necessity will arise for exercising those powers to raise the additional capital which the various Acts of Parliament obtained during the past session, have authorise,d for carrying out the several objects proposed. " You will be pleased to learn from the report of the Engineer to which you aro referred for particulars of the state and progress or the works, that he contem plates applying the atmospheric system to experimental purposes on some portion of the line at an early period. " Notwithstanding delays which their utmost exer tions have been unable to prevent, and which have been a source of disappointment to the proprietary, and of vexation to themselves, it is with pleasure that your directors congratulate you upon the opening of the line as far as Teignmouth, on the 30th of May, and upon the extent of traffic which has hitherto attended its working. This has indeed far exceeded their expec'a• tion, the number of passengers for the twelve .weeks ending the 21st inst. having averaged upwards of 10,000 weekly, and the weekly receipts nearly Gool.—an amount which, notwithstanding the disproportionate expense incident to a shcrt and unfinished line, worked by a locomotive power, under merely temporary arrange ments, seems fully to justify the most sanguine estimate of future profit and success. (Signed) " Twos. GILL, Chairman." Immediately after the reading of the above report, the following was read : ENGINEER'S REPORT. the site of the Plymouth terminus, in ionsequenee of the altered position of the Cornwall line. Mr. Gill then proceeded to remark upon what had occurred in Par liament during the last session, in reference to those schemes in which that company was interested. He spoke of the alterations which had been made in the case of the Cornwall line, which would now be carried across a bridge at Saltash, in consequence of which the South Devon trunk line would be brought much nearer to Devonport than it would otherwise have been. Such a curve would be given to the line as would bring it to a point near the spot where the Royal British Female Orphan Asylum, erected at Stoke, now stood. They had unfortunately lost a useful feeder in the Tavistock branch, but they had secured the local branches as well as one to Torquay, which they regarded as most important. The branches to Sutton Pool and Milbay would be opened as soon as the main line to Plymouth. The North Devon Railway scheme, in which they were in terested, had proved unsuccessful, owing to an imperfec tion in their plans occasioned by the sudden, and very severe illness of a gentleman engaged by Mr. Brunel to survey a portion of the line. With respect to the in terest which they had taken in certain of the schemes which had failed, the sole object of the directors had been to promote the interests of their own company, and to prevent the carrying out of other chimerical Projects, which, whilst they would be ruinous to the parties more immediately interested, would also have prejudiced the interests of the South Devon line. The speaker then referred to the great amount of traffic upon the line since the opening to Teignmouth, and which was altogether beyond their most sanguine expectations. He had also pleasure in stating, that they had agreed with all the landowners on tise line to Plymouth, up as far as Mutley Plain, and that there was no impediment to the opening to this town, which would take place as soon as the road could be formed, which would he thought be about the same time that the remainder of the engines required were made, one-half of which the contractors, Messrs. Bolton and Watts, had agreed to complete within six months, and the other half within nine months. Mr. STEVENS, of London, congratulated the pro prietors on the success which the traffic returns proved would attend the undertaking—an amount of traffic, lie was informed and believed, unparalleled. It would be recollected that it was a traffic de rived solely from passengers ; and he believed most sincerely, that when the connexion between Exeter and Plymouth by railway was completed, that the traffic would exceed the expectation of the most sanguine pro prietor. A better line could not have been chosen, or one which had less cause of fear from competition. That lad him to congratulate the proprietors on the want of success that had attended their proceedings in Parlia ment. They were at least premature. It was folly to seek to endeavour to extend their works, when they were struggling to complete that for which they were first associated. The time for extension of works had not arrived. Finish what you have done—direct your energies to that end. Let not your Executive fritter its time away in Parliament, consuming the calls wrung from the proprietors in vain endeavours to extend a line already too great for the powers of the company. He would recommend them to finish what they had first undertaken, and then consider whether any further ex tension of their works was desirable for the benefit of themselves and of the public, for whose interest the concession of the line had been made to them, and with whose interests their own were inseparable Such conduct would at a proper time ensure success' He had at the last meeting pointed out the rashness of their proceedings in this respect; he believed that they had originated in times when a sort of furor seemed to pervade the railway world, and in which they had nearly all shared—he hoped never to see the like again. In the conduct of the affairs of the company much time had been lost, and he would not cause further delay. otherwise he would have moved as an amendment, that a report be made, not of the progress of the works done, but how much of each work remained to be done, dis tinguishing the species of each work, earth work, eke. Every proprietor then would be able to ascertain when he might reasonably expect the completion of the works, He observed that the Company had raised the sum of 282,3001. on their debentures. He trusted that the di rectors would use every endeavour to complete the sum which they were authorised by their Act of Parliament to raise—that they would disregard the consideration of whether they were to pay one-half per cent. more or less, which was a consideration unworthy of a great undertaking and a great object, when their loan would he temporary, and if taken from the proprietors by call, must be raised at 51. per cent. This would have the effect of preventing further calls, unless for the payment of debentures, which, cast over a series of years, would fall light on the proprietors, and would come in happier times, and not when they were weakened by unparalleled calls. He begged the directors not to be deceived by the reduction of rate of interest made by the Bank of Eng land ; it would not affect theirs—there was too much railway stock. His suggestion would involve, not injus tice, for any proprietor, more fortunate than himself, might advance his upaid call to the Company, or take up debentures to that amount. lie observed that the working expenses were nearly 50 per cent. on the amount of the receipts; he assumed that the ratio of these expenses would be materially reduced on the further opening of the railway. He observed also that a sum of about 15,0001. had been advanced in respect of the projects in Parliament. He was desirous ct being informed whether they did not constitute a part of the assets, and whether any further undertaking wovld be attempted without the direct sanction of the proprietors. The CHAIRMAN stilted that the 15,0001. did form part „el the,asse;s, and, that no further proceedings for exten sions would be Wien withottetfidirect' , Concurrence of the proprietors. • Ur. D. PERRY said the central line was the mildest scheme which man's brain ever devised, and expressed it has his 'Opinion that it would:never have received the support which it 'had from many persons in this neigh bourhood, but for the apprehension that, as great delay ,had already occurred in the construction of the South Devon line, some yeats . might elapse before it would be actually brought to completion. He hoped the works would be pressed on with vigour. The CHAIRMAN stated, in answer to questions put to him, that the directors had no intention of prosecuting the Dartmouth branch, but they were pledged to carry out a branch to Brixham. They would also probably open the South Devon line to Totness, with the use of locomotive power, very soon after the opening to New ton, should Mr. Brunel recommend them to do so. After that, the next step taken would be to open the line to Plymouth with the use of the atmospheric prin ciple. Mr. SAMUDA, the patentee of the atmospheric system of traction, next addressed the meeting. lie stated that since the early part of July a new description of compo sition had been employed to secure the valves upon the Croydon line, and the result had been most successful. The trains had since then been running uninterruptedly, to the number of forty daily, so that the temporary stop page which took place some time since had really proved is very great benefit rather than otherwise. Upon the South Devon line, stationary engines of 100 horse power would be placed every three miles, the cost of steam power with this system being about 6d. per mile per train daily, supposing the number of trains to be 40. The cost of locomotive power would in every respect be infinitely greater—he might say double. The triumphant success of the atmospheric principle was in fact now put beyond all question. The report of the directors was then unanimously adopted. `• Puke-street, August 15, 184 G. " Gentlemen,—Since my last report the railway has been opened to Teignmouth, being worked with loco motive power. " The protracted delays in the completion of the en gine-houses and machinery, rendered it improbable that the atmospheric apparatus could be brought into opera tion within such a moderate delay as would justify the postponement of the opening. The working with loco motives has been highly satisfactory, and hold out a fair promise of the line running remarkably smoothly and perfectly, when the absence of the locomotive engines shall admit of more perfect and easy maintenance of cor rectness in the rails. " The works upon this portion of the line are in ex cellent condition. " The completion of the line to Newton has been (as frequently mentioned) hitherto delayed for want of Pur • liarnentary power over a small piece-of land. The Act has passed, but has not yet received the royal assent, and we were insured possession of the ground only a week or two back, so as to allow of the progress of the works. A considerable quantity of earthwork, and the bridges over the canal and the river Teign, as well as all the works of the station at Newton, remained to be com pleted, and depend: l upon the direction of the line. " Every arrangement has been made to open and pro ceed with the works as rapidly as possible. " I have also made arrangements for commencing and proceeding with the cot: struction of the line to Torquay, that very valuable branch for: which the Act has just been obtained, and with a moderately favourable winter, I believe this branch might be completed, so far as the works are concerned, within three or four months after the opening to Newton. With respect to the line beyond Newton to Colebrook, I have only to report that the works are very nearly completed, and that they might indeed be ready for that entire distance to receive the permanent way by the end of the year. "Between Colebrook and the Plymouth station, some delay has beers caused by the necessity of waiting to ascertain the result of the application to Parliament for deviation. And still grew er delay has occurred in pro curing the land, the greater part of which we have still to get possession of. "With respect to the machinery and apparatus con nected with the atino;:plieric system, I am obliged still to report a very slow progress. The pipes are all cast, and are laid nearly all the way to Newton, or at least as far as the permanent way is completed, and the valve is ready to be fixed; but the engines are not ready and cannot be yet for some weeks. The delay is unquestion ably very much to be regretted; but it has not been entirely without its advantages. Considerable experi ence has been obtained in the successful working of the Cro; don Railway, and still more in the temporary stop• page which occurred in the working of that line during part of the very hot weather of this summer—a difficulty which had been occasionally threatened was experienced —the heat passed the point of temperature at which the composition then used was fit for the work; but this difficulty was, after some failures, overcome, and, as frequently results from the successful removal of a ditli eulty-a . very great general, improvement, .has been : effected in•the working of the :valve; and the inconve•, nience, annoyance, and loss occasioned by the stoppages - ,, has been more than repaid by that general improvement. "l.kie of our engines has already keen put to work; the completion of others will shortly follow, and in a few weeks we shall at least be able to run trains, though perhaps not entirely dispensing with the locomotive; and I feel convinced that the ,result will repay you for the anxiety of waiting—while in the meantime the line is well worked, and the traffic developed by the use of the locomotive. "I am, gentlemen, • " Your obedient servant, " T. K. BRUNEL. " To the Directors of the South Devon Railway Company." SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS TO JUNE 30, 1846.

GILL, Chairman. T. W. For, Esq., seconded the adoption of the report which was moved by the Chairman, remarking thatit was the most satisfactory report that had been laid before the shareholders since the formation of the company. After other remarks he congratulated the proprietary upon the fact that several of the schemes in which they have em barked, had been thrown out, for had Parliament as sented to all the undertakings which the South Devon Company had engaged to assist, he very much doubted whether they would have been able to raise the whole of the money which would have been required in new shares. He thought that now the Bank of England had reduced their rate of interest to three per cent. the di rectors would c 4 rtainly be enabled to obtain loans on debentures at much less interest than they were now called upon to pay. He begged to inquire when the line would be opened to Newton, and also where the Plymouth terminus would be situated, in the altered position of the Cornwall line. The CHAIRMAN replied, that the directors were afraid to commit themselves to dates. Neither the engineer, nor still less the directors, were able to state positively when the line would be opened to Newton, as so much depended upon circumstances over which they had no control. Their expectatim, however, was that the opening would take place in the early part of November. They were now happily in possession of the disputed land, which had been the cause of detention, and having put a large number of men to work, they holed to open within the time mentioned. The permanent way was indeed laid, almost up to the very point. With respect to the other question put by Mr. Fox, he might THE GREAT MEETING OF THE MONTH. As the great meeting of the passing month was a mighty convention of teetotalers, it may appropriately be called the " Meeting of the Waters." The repre sentatives of the pumps, wells, ponds, cisterns, gutters, and rivers of the world were all present. Yankee tee totallers—cold damp people—arrived, it is said, packed up in Wenham Lake ice, to represent the Niagara ; while the Fleet-ditch rolled its tribute of temperance people to the Convention. All sorts of waters, indeed, had their delegates, except strong waters ; and the ap pearance of the august conclave reminded one of tin Olympus of river gods turned out of their beds. The hall of meeting was surrounded by a guard of honour of metropolitan turncocks, while a strong de tachment of the " brigade," with hose in their hands and stockings on their feet, were in readiness to spout an eau de joie from several engines of great calibre. The hall was tastefully decorated with branches of the weep ing willow and the water lily. Above the president's chair was placed the representation of a "jolly young Waterman," in a saltatory attitude. After a light and frugal repast, consisting of water souchee and water-gruel, followed by a dessert of water melons and water-cresses, Mr. Wishy Washy, the chairman, and representative of the Holborn Baths, proposed the loyal and national toast of " Father Thames, and the various branches of the royal family." Drank with acclamation in toast and-water. Mr. Oozy, M.P. for Peerless Pool, next gave " The flower of transatlantic ladies, Miss Isippi and Miss Ouri." Judge Drench, of Repudiation Villa, Gouging Town, U.S., responded. After these festive proceedings, the Secretary was called upon to real the report—a very elaborate docu ment, on the statistics of How-came. you-Soishness. It appeared that within the last year upwards of 30,000,000 of " goes" bad been called fur and dispatched in London alone.—(Groans, and a cheer from a medical student, who was immediately turned out.) Beer was also tippled in an astounding manner. There were monsters in human form, such as stokers in steamers, workmen in giass•houses, &c., who actually consumed several pints per day.— (General shuddering.) The society had also ascertained that in many localities, particularly on the river banks, the marzEfacture of a pernicious compound, called Shandy-gafl:' was carried on with unblushing audacity.—(G roans.) The report; was unanimously adopted.—Almanach of the Itionth,jor SeTtember. SKYE —DEER-STALKING.—MacIeod of Macleod has at present among his visitors at Dunvegan Castle, Lord St. John and his lady, Mr. Henry, Willie, M.P., and his lady, &c. After a few days at grouse shooting (in which the party have been very successful) they are now going off to deer stalking among the pr ec i p i ces an d rav i nes of the Coolin Hills, and to fish the streams that issue from them. Lord Mac donald has been highly successful in that sport in the same direction, having already killed eight deer, some of which were noble animals with f u ll grown an tl er s. Suchis his Lordship's fondness for this sp or t that he has converted the Inn of Sconser into a shooting lodge, where he and his Lady have been residing fur some weeks. The loss of this inn to tourists is not felt, as that of Sligichan is only three miles distant, and two inns were rather near each other on a road not greatly frequented.—lnverness Courier. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. The work of demolition proceeds rapidly, mad there is certainly but little trouble required in taking down the front walls that fill the hollows between the arches and carry the balustrade; the wonder is that the mass of loose sand that is filled in behind these walls to support the footways should not have pushed them into the river. "To what base uses we may return!" Here are the cornices and carved work, and other ornaments of a structure which was at one time (as the Select Com mittee's report states) " the largest bridge in Europe that covered water all the year round, and was con sidered wonderful, " bundled, without respect or dis tinction, into carts and barges with rubble and rubbish of all kinds. According to the present rate, the piers will in a short time have less to carry, and, should the bridge fall into the river, there will be less to fall—both very sufficient reasons, we think, for the great activity. That the workmen at the sides of the bridge may not be interrupted, the road for foot passengers is now between temporary fences near the middle of what was lately the carriage way. The stoppage of footway communications, and the loss to shopkeepers and tradesmen, as well as the in convenience to the multitude of passengers, would be very great if they were deprived of a foot passage at Westminster. l'he evidence before the Select Com mittee is not yet published. By the report which we gave in our journal there appears to have been an opinion that the present might be used as a temporary bridge while the new one was being built, but that " Mr, Walker urged, in the spring of 1845, the erection of a temporary bridge as at that time desirable, and that he urged it again with increased earnestness before the late Committee." To secure a passage withcut danger may be presumed the principal reason for this recom mendation ; the objection was probably the expense, and the opinion that the old bridge might be made to answer the temporary purpose. The water-bailiff has visited the bridge, and is in communication with the Lord Mayor as to the means of removing the obstruction to navigation that might be caused by any sudden failure. —Last evening, A , a c s c h D e E w N T o r A n T l e l n 11ZrIe3 engagedl il cEN n E a a t n t hDe wares houses eS... houses in course of erection on the margin of the new docks at Birkenhead a scaffold gave way, and a number of men were precipitated to the ground, burying several of them tinder thousands of bricks. Four were very seriously in jured. They were immediately attended by Mr. Jermatte, surgeon, who had them removed to the hospital, and admi nistered proper medical assistance to them. Their injuries are very serious, but it is hoped they will eventually recover.

SAINT GEORGE-IN THE-EAST CHURCH• RATES.—in consequence of the refusal of the parishioners of Saint George-in-the-East to make a rate for the payment of or ganists and others connected with the performance of church service, the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, got up a choir, about three weeks ago, and yesterday preached a charity sermon, for the purpose of defraying the expenses consequent thereon. Amongst other observations, he said that he was happy to think the time had come when the Church would be able to do its duty by itself, without calling in the aid of heretics, sectarians, or atheists. The collection amounted to upwards of W. The population comprises more than 40,000 persons. ORKNEY.—We are grieved to learn that the potato disease has at length begun to appear in Orkney.

A VICTIMISVIL intl Sotto's.lay, at Onialleal,Jio , Tio4ult 4 i 6-30 :70 ° alias Alfred William Percy, Burgess, alias Stnith,4 journeyman tailor, who goes about victimising the licensed victuallers, after the fashion of Dando, the oyster-eater, was brought before. Mr. Alderman S idney, charged with defrauding the keeper of a coffee -shop in St. Martin's-court, Ludgate-hill. It appeared that he went into the coffee-room , assuming a haughty tone, called for a nice rum-staeak and a cup of coffee. He attempted to slip awaY as ter soon as he had finished his meal, but the wai rushed after him and brought him back. Lle a l first impudently asserted that he had a lread y p a.- his reckoning, and next that he had unfortunately lost the only shilling he happened to have about him through a hole in his trousers' pocket. The landlorl thought he was one of the bilkers who go about, ite re' gave him into custody. At the station - house h e wa s cognised as having been in custody seve ral times on like charges. He made his first appearance at this office in May, 1844, having bilked the landlord of Dick's coffee' house, in Fleet-street. He was then genteelly dressed, arid described himself as a provincial actor. I n le l than a month he was in custody again for having r e g al ' himself with a dinner and et ceteras, to the amo unt of ts* 6d. He was committed for a month for assaulting te e policeman, and on the day he was released he went t° another tavern, and regaled himself to the amount of 6 3 . 6d., not having a farthing to pay the score. After ec4°- flatting several frauds of the same nature, lie fell into the clutches of Mr. Jardine, at Bow •street, for bilking a P. Bean, and he was sent to Westminster bridewel l for foe' months, in default of suretiesto beef good behaviourduriege that term. He was liberated on the 15th instant. 1 , prisoner, on being now put to the bar, protested again!, the jurisdiction of the magistrate. Ile had protested again!, the coffee-house against being given into custody, na, at the station against being detained there ; an d, in fac" dealt out his protests at every step. He said his dal; de Lion was perfectly illegal. He had contracted a % and that was the most that could be made of it. If la had resisted the policeman, and even killed him, it Wee be in law only justifiable homicide, because he was in lawful custody, and his detention was an audacious 're fringemeut of the liberty of the subject. He had te. opinion of Sir T. Wilde and the Recorder of London th! his apprehension was unlawful. The inspector knev,'. it was so, and in reply to the protest said. " We cl°°: care about the law—we do as we please." And t b i rs seemed to be the fact, fur he was detained two heefrt without any . charge, and then the police absolutely ins w gated and instructed a fellow (for he overheard it) t° i n dis h make a false charge, that he believed he was coffee-house to commit felony. The man could net comprehend it, and bungled the charge after all. "" city police had a spite against him, because he bad la; posed their turpitude ; and a constable named nut! frankly told him if he came upon his beat he would el; mediately lock him up on a pretended charge of asse a „a upon him. Ile was a victim of conspiracy, the under clerks hunted up alleged old sr; tugs to meet the case, when no such 0,1'; could be found. It was said he went about living idly and faring well, and could not give a good accou nt .? himself. It was false.
