We find the following in the weekly co , nmerciel bu'letin of the Presse :—" The improvement in bu siness which we mentioned last week, has acquired fresh progress in all articles manufactured in Paris. Important orders are received by every packet from the Brazils and the United States, and there is every reason to hope that the export trade, which had been dull darin g th e fi rst six months of the year, will im - prove for the autumn months. It may be remembered that the American markets were very much over stocked' at the commencement of the year, and that a part of the go o ds s ent out in 185 1 were obliged to b e sold at a loss ; but as these goods have now . been com pletely got rid of, French goods are again in demand in the American markets. The manufacturers are also busily engaged for the South Sea and the north of Europe. Sweden and Russia have recently made extensive purchases in bronzse and articles of Paris manufacture. DENMARK. The opening of the Exhibition of Scandinavian industry at Copenhagen took place on the 6th inst. It is held in the Crystal Palace constructed on 69 site of the old manege attached to the Royal residence of Chrigtilmsborg. The KIISG, accompanied by the Hereditary Prince, Prince CHRISTIAN of Glucks bourg, Prince FREDERIC of Hesse, and the Ministers and high dignitaries of the Court, arrived at noon. The Royal party were received by Councillor EaLER atin, President of the Committee of the Exhibition, wbo addressed his MAJESTY in a speech in which he expressed the sentiments of gratitude felt by the ma nufacturing classes for the encouragement given to arts and manufactured, and his constant desire to promote the welfare of his people. His MAJESTY re plied in the most gracious manner, and his words were received with loud cries of " Long live the King." After the departure of the Royal party the doors were thrown open to the public. S WITZERLAND. The National Council of Switzerland, in the sitting of Saturday, decided that the Federal Council should be authorised to bring into execution, on the Ist of October next, the postal treaty between Switzerland, Austria, and the German States. The Council was also oceupied with the proposition previously adopted by the Council of States, relative to relieving the cantons which formed part of the Sonderbund, from the payment of the sums remaining due on their portion of the war expenses. In the course of the discussion three several resolutions were made ; one, that the whole sum due, 3,340,771 f., should be re mitted ; another, that the amount should be only 1,000,000 f. on the principal sum, and 953,165 f. of the supplementary debt; and a third, that the latter sum !lone should be remitted. Eventually, the motion for !ying up the w h o l e 3 ,3 4 0, 771 f. was carr i e d, th e Radical Members having displayed a conciliatory spirit. "The Council of States, on the same day adopted a resolution to the effect that if the Federal Executive Council should receive diplomatic commu nications relati ve to the affair of Neufchstel, they shall be communicated to that canton." The Duchess D'OaLszns and her children arrived at Geneva on the 13th.

In consequence of the pleasing effect produced by the beautiful stained glass window erected some months since over the Communion -table at this church, as a memento to the late 11. St. George Tucker, Esq., which was then fully described in this journal, Mr. James Laver, churchwarden, in con junction with the Rev. T.

So promptly and liberally was the appeal responded to by the congregation that an immediate order WAS given to the same artist, Mr. E.

The following descriptive particulars of Mr. Ben son's design, which has been adopted for the Exhibi tion Building will be read with interest :—Presenting a front to Merrion-square of 300 feet, the main or centre feature of the elevation consists of a semicircular projection which forms the eastern termination of the central hall. This will be a noble apartment of 425 feet in length, and 100 feet in height, covered by a semicircular roof upon trellis ribs, in one span of 100 feet. On each side of the central ball, and running parallel to it for the same length, are two halls 50 feet wide, with domed roofs, similar to that which covers the main nave or hall of the building. The height from the floor to the roof of each of these halls will be 65 feet. They are approached through passages from the centre hall. In addition to these thre e balls are four compartments of 25 feet wide, running th e whole length of the building; two are placed between the centre hall and the side halls, and two on each side of the latter ; divided into sections of 25 feet square, forming convenient divisions fo ge nt s pur poses of classification. Over these compar arehe spacious galleries, also running the length of building, which will not only afford increased space for exhibition, but an agreeable p romenade from whence the effect of the three halls will be seen to great advantage. The ceiling of the halls being divided into panels formed by the trellis ribs and the other constructive parts of the buildi n g , will provide ample opportunity for effective decoration. Light is ad mitted from above in one unbroken and equally dis tributed body. The construction of the building i s strongly marked on the elevation, and forms in fact the ornamental charact er of the design. There are The termination of e ach also external galleries which will be attractive features in the exterior, and will be useful in providing access of the principal roofs to the east and west is semisphe to the roof for repairs , &c . rical, giving streng th building. There will be three entrances in the front facing Merrion-square, under a range of verandahs, through which access will be bad for the holders of season tickets and the general public. The materials of the building will be iron, timber, and glass. The latter will only be used for light, as before described. The pbaertstimofbetrh, e o r v o e of re d at w i e t a h c h th si of h ede water -proof ll cl w ot i b, manufactured by Messrs. Malcomson ' of Portlaw, co unty of Waterf or d.

Ample accom modation in ;the way o f re f res h men t, retiring rooms, offices, &c., i s provided in the plan. Access to the Building can also be had by the spacious court-yard of the Royal Dublin Society, whose suite of apart ments, including the Museum, will be thrown open to the public during the Exhibition. The available area of ground floor will be 147,704 feet. Of wall apace there will be not less than 87,000 feet. The design, not only in respect to the striking and bold effect of the elevation, but also of the interior, is deserving of the highest praise. Mr. Benson appears to have forgetten the Crystal Palace, and has had the courage to think for himself. He has produced a design worthy of the purpose contemplated, and highly creditable to his artistic and practical character as an architect. We understand that a lithograph will be published in a few days by Mr. MiGlashan, showing the principal elevation of the building. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Exactly this day six years—on the 12th of August, 1946—we recorded one of the most terrific thunder storms experienced in this district for at least half a century ; and to-day we have to chronicle a storm perhaps equally severe. On Thursday even ing last very heavy rains f, 11 in Strathglass, accom panied for some hours with incessant peals of thun der, and frequent and particularly vivid flashes of ligntning. Oa Friday several loud peals broke over the town; but were followed by only slight showers. The northern side of the Cromarty Firth was on that day visited by a storm which will be re membered for many a day. In the morning some lengthened peals were heard at a distance, whi c h gra dually lessened till about one o'clock, when the storm was right over Alness, where for nearly two hours the clouds discharged their contents with terrific fury. The sky was so heavily overcast that it was almost as if the sun had_,,set. Rain and hail fell in such torrents tha; every road a pp eared li ke the chan nel of a burn. Happily no accident occurred, except the destruction of a large ash tree at Millcraig, which was rent to pieces. A man sitting under a neighbouring tree for shelter felt the shock. The electric fluid on entering the ground, caused such a convulsion, that it shook a cottage situated close to the tree, disarranged part of the furniture, and the occupant, an old woman, was thrown to the ground either by fright or by the shock. On Saturday, shortly after noon, Inverness was visited with a storm of thunder unparalleled since that of August, 1846. For two long hours the flashes of forked and sheet lightning were followed almost instantaneously by long-continued peals of thunder. Rain fell in torrents for nearly half -an-hour, and darkened the heavens so as make the scene really terrifying. We have heard of several_ cases of indisposition occurring from fright. The thunder was so frequent that scarcely two minutes west side of the river, i l intervened between each successive peal. The rain I speedily the greatest str a o e r n e e g t r l s y: and forcing rin st S e u d ff rapid currents in many of the streets, loweritsrooms way w 'eTirdag'r a v a e the a l, whi o h i s de posited into several houses, flooded the much.

Richtrrd Sill surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with misdemeanor in having unlawfully obtained money by false pretences from Henry Br o o me . Mr. Parry and Mr. Metcalf conducted the prose cution; Mr. Ballatitine. and Mr. Doyle were counsel for the defendant. The Learned COUNSEL for the prosecution, on open ing the C 352, said it was one of a very remarkable chereeter, and he therefore bespoke the serious atten tion of the jury to the facts he should lay before them in support of the charge. The defendant was charged with obtaining money by false pretences, an offence which un d er a ll c i rcumstances w a s o ne f a very se rious character, but which in the present instance was rendered still more serious by the fact that the de fendant was a person who had occupied a very re spectable position in society, who had for some time been an attorney, aud who, therefore, ought not, under any cir cumstances , t o have been a party to any violation of the law. He then proceeded to state that the defendant was charged with having obtained from Mr. Henry Broome, the prosecutor of the present indictme n t, severa l bids of exchange of a large amount, and also a considerable amount in cash, under false pretences, in connexion with a charge of card cheating at Brighton, the particular, of which had obtained a good deal of notoriety, and the facts of which it would be necessary for him briefly to allude. The L.!arned Counsel then called the'attention of the jury to the circumstance of the charge against John Broome, the brother of the prosecutor of the present indictment, and two other persons named Staden and James, the latter of whom, it will be remembered, were convicted at the recent assizes at Lewes, and sentenced to two years' hard labour, and said that the defendant, wh o had acted as the solicitor for the pro secution in the first instance, was now charged with obtaining bills of exchange and money from the pro secutor, under the pretence that he bad had an inter view with Mr. Walpole, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and that he had sufficient influence with him to prevent his brother from being trans ported, and that he could, in fact, relieve him from any inconvenience in reference to the indictment that had bean preferred against him. He should be able to prove most clearly that by means of this false re presentation the defendant had obtained property to a considerable amount from the prosecutor; and he said he must confess he was at a loss to imagine what line of defence would be taken. An attempt would probably be made, he said, to attack the character of the prosecutor, and he was bound to admit that Henry Broome had been a prizefighter, and that he had also been connected with the turf, and it might be urged that he was a man not very likely to be imposed upon; but the jury must recollect that he had to deal with an attorney, a man of experience, and who, by his position as solici tor for the prosecution against his brother, would ne cessarily have a great deal of influence over him, and by whom, therefore, he might more easily have been deceived. The Learned Counsel next proceeded to refer to some of the other circumstances of the case, and the following evidence was then adduced : Mr. Verrall, clerk to the bench of magistrates at Br i g h te n, deposed that he acted in that capacity upon the occasions of the different examinations of Staden, James, and John Broome, upon the charge of obtain ing money and bills of exchange from Mr. Hemp by means of cheating at cards. The defendant, Mr. Sill, had attended several examinations in the capacity of solicitor for the prosecutor, and he did so on the Bth of March. Upon that occasion he asked for the s anction of the magistrates to be allowed to with draw from : the prosecution ; and also that the recognizauces of Mr. Chase, the chief constable of Brighton, who had been bound over to prosecute, should he discharged. The ground he alleged fur desiring to withdraw from the prosecution was that Mr. Hemp had made an affidavit upon the subject of his bill of costs its which he made a state ment directly in contradiction to the evidence he had given before the magistrates, and that his evidence therefore could not be relied upon. The magistrates retired to consider the application, and upon their re turn they told the defendant that as he desired to withdraw from the ease they did not consider him any longer as the solicitor for the prosecution, and he did not again appear in the case in that capacity. The magistrates afterwards instructed witness to carry on the prosecution, and he did so, and Staden and James were tried at the last assizes at Lewis and convicted. John Broome did not surrender to take his trial with teem a e Henry Broome, the prosecutor, deposed th a t h e formerly kept the Opera Tavern in the Haymarket, but was at present residing at No. 102, Lisson-grove. He had been a pugilist, and was known as the c h arn . pion of the prize ring, or what remained of it.—(A laugh.) He remembered a young namedgentleman Hatt* go i ng fet n , lodge at the public-house k ept by his brother, Broome, in Air-street, Piccadilly, an d John that he went w ith his brother to Brighton races l as t and that shortly afterwards a charge year, ' brother and two was made against is persons named and James, of cheating Mr R am „ Staden him of money by * -- r , foul and defraudingplay Witness did not go to Brighton at cards. lie knew nothing of what with them. ... dof thecharge occurred there.

In addition to vv , the was just time defendant told him that there enough to he could do it, ut b e save his brother, and 1 t Tawas 5 o'clock on Sundae must have at least 000'• left his "day morning when the defendant 2 , __ house, and he said he would give v ital until o clock that day to get up th e mone y. lie was aware that the def en d ant had been engage d as the attorney for the prosecution, and h e was th ere f o re induced to believe his statement with r egar d t o his having been in communic a ti on with the Secretary of State , The defend'lock, aiit came again to his house a bout 2 o 'clock, and he then re peated what he had stated before about the Power he possessed with the Secretary o f Sta te, and Ile also s a id Chase, that he had got Mr. the chief officer of prosecutor Brighton, substituted as the instead of Mr. Hamp, and he pointed to a paragraph that was in a newspaper upon the table in confirmation of his state ment, and he said it had been done through the Se cretary of State. In consequence of what the ttefen dant said upon this occasion witness was induce d to give him two bills of 1201. each. These bills were upon French stamps, and they were drawn by John Hamp, the brother of Mr. Hemp, who was the vose cutor of the indictment, and indorsed by witness and his brother. The defendant said he must have some money as well as the bills, and witness gave him. a 101. note, two 51. notes, and a check for 201. H e then said as there might be some difficulty in g eating these bills discounted, he must have an E aglish bill of exchange for 2401. with witness's and his brother's name u p on it. Witness told him f t eat it ' was Sunday, and he could not get a stastamp, fondant said he must go and find one, and he went' but out and and obtained a stamp from a neighbour, and 'when he came back it was filled up for 2401. at four 131(X nths' date. The defendant kept posssssion of all the' and he remained at witness's house drinking anti! eleven o'clock at night. The drink wan all at vat nesa's expense of course.—(A. laugh.) During the day the defendant wanted him to put his name to ti French bills ; and on his telling him that he w as a bankrupt, and that he could not pay, and his name would be of no use, the defendant said that he was 3 good bankruptcy lawyer, and witness might take his word that he would come to no harm through signing the bills On the following day (Monday) witness and the defendant went down to Brighton, for the purpose, according to the defendant's stateWntl of getting Mr. Chase's recognizances taken oft; and having the prosecution put a stop to, and he at the same time said that if he (the defendant) took no further steps in the prosecution, he was sure the ,Se cretary of State would not. They went to the Town-hall, but when Mr. Sill was about to make the application to the magistrates the court was cleared, and witness therefore did not know what oc- c thAh u opa r utr r si e etl h eet n T igya h voeheyna money e e orv t ne u e pre r aye n la ed to toecdcl town ayss eenon s, t t u o h g ; e defendantt h t o e r, the a n l d sin 3 tah at hi e sf to the defendant. Upon one occasion he gave him 201. for the purpose of going down to Herefordshire to see the prosecutor and some other pereone, and obtain affidavits vita a view to get the venue for the trial removed from Sussex to some other county. Witness was at Lewes at the spring assizes of the present year, and his brother John also went down one day but returned at night. On the 13th of April the defendant came to wit ness's house. His brother was there at the time with some friends, but the defendant said he came upo n letv,iness, and all the other persons except witness, his brother, and the defendant were requested to leave the room. The defendant said that two of the bills, that were given to him were of such a long date that he could do nothing with them, and he must have an order upon a banker for 2001. at seven days, and lel/. or 201. in money. At this time witness had from Oise defendant 1201. Or 130/. in notes besides the bilis. He had consulted his solicitor upon the affair, and what subsequently took place upon this occasion was done under legal advice. When the defendant said he innet have the bill for 2001. witness asked him how he could think of demanding such serious amounts from them when he knew very wall that his brother was innocent, and that he himself had no thing whatever to do with the matter, and he replied that it did not matter how innocent they were, hut it was what the world thought of them. A bill stamp was then sent for and a hill for 2001. was drawn, and the defendant produced the other bills and laid them on the table. Witness's brother then asked to look at the stamp on the 2001. bill, and as he was reaching it he picked up all the other bills and put them in his pocket, and witness now produced them. The des ferelant was very excited and demanded the bills back, and said that if they were not returned to him he would never leave them until he bad transported either witness or his brother. The witness concluded by stating that at the time he gave the bills and the money to the defendant he did so entirely upon his representation with regard to his influence with the Secretary of State. Cross-examined by Mr. BILLANTINE—None of these securities have been paid except 25/. This was paid on the 6th of March. Mr. Hamp is not here to give evidence. I am the prosecutor of this indict ment. I have prepared three indictments against the defendant altogether, but before any charges were made I went to the police.office and obtained advice. The magistrate did not refuse to grant me a summons, but he told me I might give Mr. Sill into custody when I met him. I don't know what Mr. Sill was charged with, but I believe that one of the counts of the indictment charged him with rob bing me and my brother. He was charged with stealing these very bills and money. He was acquitted upon two of these indictments in the Court of qoueen's Bench, because no evidence was offered against him. I had known Mr. Hamp for 12 months before he came to London, but I did not recommend him to go to my brother's house. I bad seen Staden and James there. I know what my brother was charged with, and I had heard that it was a transport able offence. I did not give the money to Mr. Sill to compromise the charge, but on account of my be lieving he had influence enough with the Secretary of State to got my brother transported. I believed my brother was innocent, but still I thought it was possible he might be transported. I swear that I believed Mr. Sill had the power to g et my brother transported, through his influence with the Secre tary of State, and I wanted my brother to be saved. I did not know how Mr. Sill was going to act, nor how he was going to save my brother. I have seen Mr. Hamp repeatedly during these proceedings, and I know that be wanted to withdraw from the prose cution, so far as my brother was concerned. I went down to Hereford with Mr. Hamp. I went there to get myself into condition. I did not get myself into condition among the " independent v oters" at the last election.—(A laugh.) I was at Ledbury at the time of the election. I was not in training there. The RECORDER—Are you going to try this case as an election committee ? my only object Mr. BALLANTINE—No, my Lor d ; was to show how the gentleman employed himself. Cross-examination continued—ln the course of the proceedings Mr. Sill told me he could not get his bill of costs from Mr. Hamp. Re-examined—All the legal proceedings that were taken were with the sanction and advice of his legal adviser. "Witness knew nothing whatever about " dummy" indictments.—(A laugh.) The indict ments were removed to the Queen's Bench by Mr. Sill, and he was acquitted in consequence of none of the witnesses being in attendance. A witness named Thoma s Bray was then called upon his subpcona, but he did not appear. Mr. Samuel G-enesse deposed that he knew the de fendant and the prosecutor, and remembered seeing them on a Sunday, about the month of March, at Broome'e house; and he recollected drawing a bill at the request of Henry Broome. The bill was dated the 6th of March, and he had no doubt it was drawn near that time. It was the same bill now produced. The defendant did not upon any occasion call upon him and request him to discount any bills. Mr. Edwin Parry deposed that he was managing clerk to Mr. John Smith, an attorney at Birming ham. In March last Mr. Sill called at their office, and witness saw him and inquired if his business re lated to the affair of Mr. Hamp. He replied that his business in Birmingham was to get some bills discounted, and he produced the two French bills for 1201. each, and the English one. Witness looked at them, and said he did not like the names, and that Mr. Hemp was good for nothing, and that he did not think Mr. Smith would have anything to do with them on account of Mr. Broome's position. The de fendant replied, that if he referred to the Brighton affair that was arranged. Witness then sail he sup posed these bills had been given to settle it, and Mr. Sill smiled, and said they were. William Thackeray, waiter at the Opera Tavern, proved that the defendant came there on Saturday night, the 6th of March, accompanied by his master, Mr. Henry Broome. He was in and out of the room where they were occasionally, and he heard Mr. Sill say that he had been to the Secretary of State, and he had told him that if his brother was con victed he would be sure to be transported. Mr. Sill, after this, called at the house almost every day up to the 13th of April, and he several times asked wit ness if his master had left any money for him, and when he told him he had not he appeared very angry , and said it would be worse for him if h e did no t leave him some. the t e t d w e c - feu A daa m t, e t m u or t a h n e d e u ff m ect in tha th t l e i e h a N n v d ou w l r d it gv in i g e ofo u f p h bills for 1 9 01. each if the one for 240/. was paid when it arrived at maturity, was then put in and read. Mr. John Sheerman deposed that he was a witness in support of the card cheating that was originally preferred at Brighton. Before he was examined at Brighton he saw Mr. Sill at the Cheshire Cheese ney for the prosecution. • . public-house, and he was remprresehilatemdp to sa b id e t t h h a e t a jtttuohrn peu h s e . was ti p a Upon moseyed another Broome knew nothing of the transaction,but Mr. Sill said they must put him ay i man, and he would p occasion he saw Mr. Sill at the residence of Me. Ham in Herefordsh i r e , and he said he had got a tnhe becausee xse good deal of money out of the prosecution, and witness p, i was a fool if he di d not g et some too. Witness told him he should do no such thing. He (Mr. Sill ) knew very well t hat Broome was innocent, an d that Mr. Hamp bad t old him so, and he re p lied t hat it did March he matter—innocentat tnhoatughtofit. u the or no l t 6 , it was w h a t t h e world th of tended the as sizes at Lewes, and Mr. Sill, whom he met there, told him he had g° amoun t in cash and bills from Henry a ßroome,o no e d , g h r e e a h t a a d s s g i r s e ta a n t fl o c: c h n i e m e i a f n h d e he u a ( u v l e d i t npe:rss)uwa d o e u h l d im b e of that with the Secretary of State, to prevent his brother f rom being transported ;and if he did so, and he could get a bill for 3001. more from him he:(witness) should "s tand in" and have a third. He refuted to have an vthing to do with the mat'.er, and told him he knew , y well that John Broonr2 was; innocent. Mr. Sill the u said that he had coalpletely frightened Henry B :come by telling him of his influence with the Se- crt tary of State. Gross•examined—He lead something in a Brighton newspaper about M r. Sill having stated that he and some of the other witnesses for the prosecution were unworthy of belief. He was an attorney's clerk, but he had not been in any employment for more than a twelvemonth. He had got his living since then by stopping with Mr. Hat op at his house in the country as a " companion." lie had no other means of ob taining a livelihood at present. When Mr. limp was in London witness stayed with him at Johnny Broome's, and he acconlpanied the parties to Brighton upon the occasion when Mr. Hamp was plundered by I James and Staden. Re-examined—He knew Mr. Hatnp from living near him in Herefordshire. They were both Here. fordshire men. Mr. Ramp was the son of a banker, and had some property. Mr. Secretary Walpole was then examined. He said—l am her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, and have held that office since the 27th of February. Ido not remember ever having seen the defendant before to-day, and I know nothing whatever relating to the card cheating case at Bz ighton, except from seeing the reports in the news papers. The defendant never called upon me in re ference to any indictment upon the subject, and I certainly never expressed any opinion to him as to whether John Broome would be transported or not. Mr. PARRY—It appears almost too absurd to ask such a question ; but had the defendant any influence whatever over you? _ _ Mr. BALLANTIECE—Oh, of course it would be ab surd to ask such a question. We admit the defendant hod no influence whatever.. _ ~By Mr. BALLA:WINE—There are two Under-Se cret aries, Mr. Waddington and Sir W. Jolliffe. Theta are two other principal Secretaries of State, one fox Foreign Affairs and the other for the Colonies. Mr. PARRY—But I suppose it is not very likely either of these high officers would be likely to take cognizance of a card deeding case at Brighton ? £lr. Secretary Walpole —I should say certainly not. I think, however, Mr. Waddington did say sotnething to me with regard to his having been sub poenaed to attend a trial upon such a charge. Mr. H. B. Dunn deposed that he was engaged as the attorney for Mr. Hemp. While he was engaged in that capacity Mr. Sill sent in his bill of costs for conducting the prosecution, which amounted to over 3001. This sum was afterwards reduced by taxation to 1551., and thatireduced amount was paid to the de fendant. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTINE submitted that the falsehood of the allegation upon which the indictment rested had not been sufficiently proved. It appeared there were two Under-Secretaries of State, and as neither of them were called on behalf of the prosecution there was nothing to show that they were not the parties referred to by the defen , lent when he spoke of the Secretary of State. The RECORDER overt., sled the objection, observing that it was a question fo r the jury whether the whole was not a fabrication, at id whether the defendant had been in communication with any Secretary of State at all. Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the jury for the defendant. He said he would not for a moment en deavour to put Mr. Sill before the jury as a person who had acted properly in this transaction, or who deserved to be at all represented as an honourable member of what was undoubtedly an honourable pro fession when properly exercised ; but on the contrary, he was bound to admit, in the outset, that he had acted most improperly, and that he had endeavoured to use the criminal law for the purpose of furthering his own interest, instead of making it the means of punishing those who had committed a most serious offence. He would not attempt to justify his conduct, but he must remark that he had already suffered most severely. In fact he was a ruined man. His pros pects were utterly destroyed, and there was not the slightest chance of his ever being able to do any 1 more mischief, at all events in the profession to which be belonged. While, however, he made this admission, he said he felt bound to contend that tleis was the extent of his fault, and that he ought not to be convicted upon the charge of obtaining money by false pretences. He urged that there could be no doubt what were the real facts of the case. It was evi dent that [lamp was an unwilling prosecutor, and that the defendant saw pretty plainly 'he was in the hands of persons who were not very likely to carry on the prosecution to a satisfactory termination, and having incurred very considerable expense, and being in want of money, he endeavoured to reimburse himself by compromising the offence with the brother of one of the accused parties. If, therefore, he bad been ac cused of endeavouring to compromise a misdemeanour he should not have had a word to say for him ; but here he was charged with obtaining money by false pretences, which offence he contended he had not committed, and, in point of ;fact, never thought of committing. As to the statement about the Secre tary of State, he submitted that it bad nothing what ever to do with the case. The real truth was that Henry Broome wanted to get his brother out of the scrape, and the intention with which everything was done was that the prosecution should be abandoned. The defendant, Mr. Sill, most improperly lent him self to the proceeding, and so far as he was concerned he endeavoured to carry it out, for he withdrew from acting as the solicitor for the prosecution. The ma gistrates, however, very properly, no doubt, and in the strict and honourable performance of their duty, would not allow the matter to be settled in that man ner, but instructed their clerk to carry on the prose cution. But this was not the fault of Mr. Sill ; he had done all he could to stop the prosecution and had not broken any faith with Broome, and it certainly did appear to him to be rather a hardship that where two persons were parties to an illegal transaction that, because it did not turn out to the satisfaction of one of them, he should be allowed to turn round upon his companion. He submitted that this was the real history of the present proceeding, and that there could be no doubt that this indictment was only preferred out of a feeling of revenge at the compromise having been frustrated, and that two of the parties should have been convicted, and the brother of the pro secutor compelled to leave the country to avoid pos sibly sharing the same fate. The RECORDER then summed up the whole case with great clearness. Having explained the law upon the subject of the charge, he observed, there could be no doubt that they were wading through very dirty water, and that a great many of the per sons concerned in the whole o f this transaction were very far from respectable. 11 e trusted that the dis closures that had been made,, however, would have the effect of warning young men of fortune of the pitfalls that were prepared for them in this metro polis, and that it would preven t them from associating with persons of disreputable character. With regard to the defendant, enough had been shown to make it quite clear, at all events, that he had taken a_Nartbuint the matter quite unworthy the position b to e I the jury ought not to allow th t at to hienflu.ence be their minds, and he ought no of which he con victed upon the specific chargethe evidence clearly was accused unless and his proceedings made out the truth of that charge. The conduct of the defendant towards Mr. Ramp • ht to endeavour to compromise the charge bad nothing to do with the he might presen t case; possibly he punished in:another wa y for these acts, but here the had he m ade a false pretence to the que stion was, prosecutor , knowing it to be false, and with the inten tiond his money, and did he, in point such means ? to defraud him of fact,. defraud him by The Jury, after deliberating a short time in the b ox , ex pres sed a wish to retire. They were absent three-quarters of an hour, and upon their return into court they found the defendant Guilty. Mr. Sill, who had been allow e d t o s it b e hi n d hi s coun sel during the trial, was then ordered into custody, The RECORDER observing that he should consider w hat sentence ought to be pronounced.
