[Dividends, 8:c. to-morrow.] LONDC'N"; Printed. by THOMAS At the Su_N'Ori-.T OLD 13A.ILEY. Saturday John. Lenzere was capitally indicted far forging and uttering a .21. note, purporting to be. of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. }.Jatnuel Dickins; a Bow-Street Patrole, deposed, - • - that in consequence of directions he had. received, he met the prisoner at the house of a person, nam- . eel Marris, in King's Arms-court, Whitechapel. Nothing : passed: then ; but in the course of ten minutes, the prisoner called witness out, and they went ,to Brick-lane together, talking . Of horses. Witness said he was a dealer in horses.. The pri soner asked - what he wanted, to ‘vhieh witness an -swered, " some ones." The:prisoder said he had got no " ones," but -he had pine " 41170. g." Wit ness- said that would do, and they walked to die King's . Head, and the prisoner told him the persons in the tap-room were his partners. - The prisoner then told the witness, that:if, he could fitut a place worth breaking Into, he (the witness) should have his regular share, and not be seen. in it himself. . The prisoner then left witness in the tap-rlom for about two hours; when he returned and beekoyed witness, out. They walked about forty or fifty yards, till they came below some paling,• Nv hcr e the prisoner _gave' the witness four 21. forged note, for which witness gave him /11. 7s. Witness-was to have more such notes in a day or two. Some. time afterwards hi saw him in Whitechapel-road, and the prianier asked him if he had got rid of them. Witness said ; " only of two,". and asked him if he had got any more which the prisoner replied he had got plenty of all sorts. On the 25th witness - met him again, when time 'witness and another officer took hint , into custody. R. Glover, 'an Inspector of: Notes at the Bank. i . proved all the four to be forged. Several respectable: persons gave the prisoner a: good character ; some of them had employed him in his profession as a weaver. Verdict Guilty— Death. Sarah Ahnstrong,Sdrah Butter, and Henry fsaiws, were indicted for feloniously anti traitOronsly co louring. certain metal blanks, so as to give them the appearance of ctrtain of the •current coin of the realm, namely shillings and..sixpences. It appeared from the evidence, that the two fe male risoners (mother and daughter) lived to gether lit a 'back-room in Church-lane, Spital fields. In consequence of some law:MariOn, Shepherd:and Sapwell, two of the City Constables, took them into cuStody,. and in their lodgings found a considerable quantity . of bad money, a 'bottle ofaquafortk, a quantity of cream of tartar,. a blacking; ball fOr taking off the extreme bright ness, and a piece of flannel- used in rubbing off the blacking. Armstrong told one of the officers that she had once left off the trade, but had been obliged to. resume it again from extreme distress, having to other Means of supporting herself, her child and mother:: , Isaacs was in the habit of' vi siting the female prisoner every. week, and on his eoming again was taken into custody—there were found on him seveval uncoloured Is. piece's, shil lings, and sixpences.—When called on for their defence, the two females denied any knowledge of the man, but did not deny their own guilt ; as. for Isaacs, he said he was as innocent H 4 a lamb. The Jury, after an able and impartial summing up by Mr. Baron CrnAtfAm, retired for about half an hour, and brought in a verdict, finding all the prisoners guilty.; but recommending Butler to mercy, on account of her extreme old age. POLICE. . BOW-STREET.—Human Skeleton.—Friday even ing' last, a student to a Surgeon who resides in, the neighbourhood of Long-acre; and who was formerly of St. Paul's School, was brought to this Office, _charged with having in his possession part of a human body, which was discovered on Thursday morning last, lying in the gutter, on the top of a house inLong-acre, by sonie la bourers who were employed to repair the rooL After a full investigation of .the case, which has excited SO? much alarm, it turned out to be the peineipal part of the body of a young woman, which the young . student (a person of very re, spectable connections) had put out to bleach, with an intent to try an experiment, and had had it .in his possession since last year. Several re spectable persons attended, who gave the young Gentleman an excellent character, when the charge was dismissed. Thomas Ben, a servant in the employ of Mr. Moody, the Windsor Coachmastcr, at Hounslow, was brought to the Ofliceon Friday, charged with being concerned in robbing Mr. Moody of hay and corn to a considerable amount for twelve months past. Mr. Moody stated, that there were two other men who had been concerned in plunder ing hint of his property ; and an Innkeeper, who kept . the Tankerville Arms, at Hounslow, of the name of George Whiting, who had received it. In consequence of which Mr. NARES, the Sitting Ma gistrate, granted- Warrants against them all. Mr. Moody, accompanied by Westbrook, one of 'the Conductors of the Patrole, went to execute them. They went to the Tankerville Arms Inn, and in quired for, Whiting, the Landlord, to know if he could have a bed there ; he was answered that he was not at'home. Westbrook, after drinking the liquor he had called for, left the honSe, but remain- . ed near it; in a short time heard a noise, screaming, Westbrook returned to the hOuse immediately. where he learnt that Whiting's wife had gone up stairs, for the purpose of informing her husband, Who was congealed in her bed-room, that the, stranger, meaning the patrole, bad left the house, but found the door fast, and 'could not procure an answer from him. • His brother, bi conse quence forced'open the door, when a most hor rid spectacle presented itself, he Laving ,cut his throat with a razor, in such a dreadful' manner, so-as all but to sever his head from his body,— Ire had perpetrated• the deed. with such violence, that the - side of the room, that was two yards from him, was literally covered with blood "from the spirting of it before he fell.

Barrister at Law_ (Continued from •our Paper of Nov. 528.) But the changes which occurred in the relative, weight of the-three bodies, and destroyed the sim ple equipoise established.by our forefathers, were not so sudden as to leave the Crown altogether without remedy dr defence. It is true that tire Royaf prerogative was losing at once on both .sides : by the aggrandizement of the people on the one hand, and by its own disuseand decay on the other. It rs true, too, that this disuse and this decay were in a great measure occasioned by that very aggrandizement of the people ; by that growing power, information, and public spirit in all ranks of the nation, which made it almost im pos ible , for the Crown to exercise any of its,vio lent and'summary prerogatives, without the dan ger of a tumult little short of rebellion. But then it is also true, that the discontinuance of them was partly owing to the spontaneous policy of the Court itself. - The sovereigns and ministers of Great Britain had practically discovered, in the "r-atronage allowed to them by the_Con•titution, a quality 'or which the capabilities had not been folly appreciated in the original cOnformation of the political machine. They perceived that what, they could not accomplish by forcible' . checks, they might obtain by courtesy and co:;cession ; anl t'.at the balaneing principle might still be kept ~lire, not indeed in its rude and pristine sim pici,v, but with modifications better su it e d to the general improvement of the times. The opera tion of that principle now became pervasive e there was no longer . lvviolent / oscillation of the whole r"Oval power separately, against the, whole separate power of the nobility'or the people; but as prerogative died away, and influence began to supply its place, a balance of the three estates es tabished itself in the House of Commons ; some of the members inclining to the party of the CrOwn, some to the People, and some to that of the Nobi lity, bywhose interest they were eloeted. The same kin:l of equipoise took place in the Irouse of Peers, and the Crown, instead ofexercising its - prerogatives as formerly, at the lisle. of counteraction from the direct force of the Lords Or Cotnaions, became acenstoined thus to "consult - their. temper in the first instance, and. shape its course by their incli nation : herein effectually, though tacitly acknow ledging theirirnpOrtance, and pursuing the ,prin ciple of the original balance. By these gradual changes, the contests of the three conntervailing powers completely lost their former asperity ; and a general spirit of conciliation succeeded; conduc ing equally to the dignity of the monarch and to the substantial freedom of the - subiect. For,. the three, interests .being all indirectly amalga mated in each assembly of the legislature,—and the sudden and successive checks upon the Com mons, which' the Constitution has provided, in the Peerage, and in the Royal veto being Con- . verted into one regulating and graduated , pres sure,—we. practically find, as a celebrated .writer in an eminent Review has, with his usual felicity, observed,' that the operation of all those checks— " becomes infinitely more smooth and manage- . able, and no longer proceeds by jerks and bdunds, that might endanger the safety of the machine : %ilia, its movements, instead of being fractured and impeded by the irregular impulses of opposite forces, slide quietly to the mark in the diagonal produced by their original combination.' —Editz. Rev. No. 20 p. 413. It is not to.he concealed, that by this 'new ar rangement, the force of the people has . beCome weaker in the House of Commons than the Con stitution intended it to be. We may-perceive that their representatives have lost much of their jea lous and nhnost imperious warmth ;' but we may perceive also; that the very necessity : fin; sncb a zeal has been in a great measure shperseded by the cessation of that dangerous, domineering hos tility which - formerly characterised the measures of the Crown. And even if this alteration in the general policy of the Government were not suffi cient to compensate the people for the increase of the ministerial and aristocratical party in the House of Commons; we should never allow oar selves to forget the strong and undeniable fact, that the people have now a powerful party in the House of Lords.: a quarter where certainly they have as little constitutional right to interfere, as the friends of the monarch and of the nobility can have among the popular representatives. Without the insensible alterations of which I have thus endeavoured to trace a general outline, lam firmly of opinion that, at this day, the ba lance of the constitution would have been but an empty name. Wiles' the 'direct power of the Crown, namely, Preogative, was' gone, with all its invidious appendages, and gone ,too so com pletely, that its restoration this become a measure too dangerous to be attempted in a frce country —the only mode in which•theThrtinecould thence= fOrWard be supported, was by indirect power; otherWiSe called influence, The .popular but for this influence, would haVe overgrown-its proportion, and SAVallbwed . -up not Only 'the. mo narchy; but probably the aristocracy also : and England Would have been reduced to the dreadful necessity of another. revolution, in order to pre pare a new frame of government, better suited to the altered condition. of society.

FOR: THE SUN. . AP -THECARIZS. MR. EDITOR, I have to request your inlulgence in permitting me-to point out the injustice of certain aLimad- . versions of your Correspondent (subscribing him self a Patient and,Sufferer), on the recent Meet ings of the Apothecaties at the Crown and An chor Tavern, uscribin7 their assembly to motive e, very different from the real object. This personage is not content With upbraiding , 1 ...4 them for their public conduCt, but he even de- —. P i o scends into their domestic concerns, and _corn- plains of the extravagance of theniselves and their .1 wives, and the means they make use of "to sup- ( - port their chariots and whiskies, ' to . ' enable their i'' Ladies to dizcn themselves out at a fashionable milliner's, and play at six-penny whist at Apo4 thccaries' Ilall." Such absurd assertions require no refutation, as there are rare instances of Apothecaries being able to, - keep carriages or drive whiskies, till they have grown grey in their professional practice, unless they have some private - property ;•and there fore it is not likely that their wives can he sup ported in the extravagant follieslyour Correspon dent has so ingenionsly,invented and described, when le so: cleverly discloseS . their extravagalz card-playing at Apothecaries' Hall (where, in fact, there is no room for such goine4), and their diz- enilfg, themselves - out:at . fashionable tnilliners, who ' can easily discern the difference between the ho, nest customer and diStinguished profligate of high .! life.

As - to • increasing the charges on medicines, or for attendance, when it is 'considered what the prices of articles of necessity are,' anti that for nearly a eentury past there has been little or no variation in the Apothecaries' charges, surely the Public will, for its own,security, enable fit persons to practise a profession so useful and indispensa ble, ,by •giying them a proper compensation for medicines and attendance: your . .
