MORNING EDITION. tioned vessel was close off the harbour's mouth on Sun day afternoon, but at noon on Monday was considerably to leeward of the island under close-reefed topsails, with a signal flying (No. b 6 from Marriatt's Code), Who is the Admiral at the station ?" either a joke of the soldier cffieers or a mistake. The Meteor, French steamer of war, which left Algiers for Marseilles, put into Malta, in great distress, on the 27th inst. She wP.s laden with invalids. The Ginges arrived from the Levant on the afternoon of to-day. The Implacable was also signalled. The Hydra went out of harbour this morning in sc...T.reh of wrecks on the coast of Malta. She came in again in the evening, as the Alecto loft, at half-past 4 o'clock, fur Marseilks An absurd rumour was got up, without any foundation, that the Cornwall transport had gone down, with the bead. quarters of the 92i Royal Highlanders on board. When the Alecto, which was the bearer of the India mails, left Malta, several line-of-battle ships were coming in from Marmorice Bay—amongst others the Ganges and Implacable. Admiral Stopford was also expected. The Oriental steam-ship suffered considerable damage in her passage from Alexandria to Malta by Lad weather, having carried away part of her bowsprit. She was four days and a half making the passage—a day beyond her time. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. (Prom the Totes and Procerdings of the Ilutese of Compraons.) TIIURSDAY, TEE. 4.

It will be in the recollection of our readers that towards the close of the year 1839 ao attempt was m a de at this place to levy a Church-rate, and the result of five days' polling was, a majority of near 3,000 against tha rate. On Friday last a similar attempt was made, contrary, it is supposed, to the expressei.i wishes of the Vicar and of the more judicious friends of the establishment. The Churchwardens moved for a r..tc to the amount of al 6/. 12s. 6d. An amendment was moved by the Rev. J. Winter bottom, Baptist Minister, and seconded by Mr. George Hanson, stuff-merchant. The Vicar rausing to put the amendment, the original motion was put and nega tived by about four-fifths of those present. Taught wisdom by experience the pro-rate party declined to demand a poll. _ _ THE WEATHER. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE. STREET. Noes. Fail. 6. Barometer 29 68 In. Thermometer .........

The eclipse of the moon, owing to the state of the weather, was only occasionally sees. WSNUsox, Fait. 3.—At midnight, on Wednesday, such was the intensity of the frost that a private of the 60th Rifles, on sentry at the north-oast terrace, close to the Brunswick Tower, was nearly frozen to death. On the picket, going their rounds at the Castle, shortly after twelve o'clock, they discovered the poor fellow lying oa the around in • state of insensibility. No time was teat in conveying him to the InTital, where, after the usual n.eans had been resorted to for his restoration, he la,•carne sensible, after the expiration of about three quar ters of an hour. He has now nearly recovered. TRIAL OF LORD CARDIGAN.—The Lords' Committee have made a third Report on this affiir, from which it appears that 640 seats will be provided, viz., 300 in the body of the House, 36 below the bar, and the re mainder in the galleries. Only one ticket is to be delive red to each Lord, and that on personal application for the seats reserved for Peeresses, Peers' daughters, strangers, &c. The Committee has also recommended that " none be covered at the said trial but the Lords." T HE ROYAL CHRISTENING.—.The Christ enng of the Princess Royal is postponed from Wednes day next until Tuesday, the 16th instant. His Majesty the King of the Belgians is not expected to arrive from Ostend until Wednesday next, and will probably stay a fortn;ght in this country.

Lady Stuart, wit died o n F r id ay morning, at ten mintres be fare nine o 'clock, at her residence at Whitehall, in her eighty. fifth year. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROX THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.) (From the Globe.) The Scotsman, after citing our comments on state ments sent us by correspondents respecting Dr. Bow ring and the Kirkcaldy election, proceeds as follows : " Our Contemporary has been deceived by his corre spondents ; and it is but justice to Dr. Bowring to say that we aro able to contradict the statement on good authority. We believe that Dr. Bowring never met, or had any communication with Colonel Lind say. We are informed that the Doctor and his kr:- mediate friends kept carefully aloof from intercourse with the Tories, directly or indirectly, and did not know, except from rumour, how they would vote." We have already inserted Dr. Bowring's entire denial of the al leged " communications ;" and as we have not been able to obtain from the source of the statements we inserted any confirmation of them, we are bound to believe we were misinformed, and ascribe the misinformation to the natural readiness of parties in election contests to accredit any rumours against. their opponents. We arc certain that the supposed facts were communicated in good faith to us ; and they were not so unparalleled by those of some other recent contests, as to stagger belief. We cannot, however, hesitate to accept Dr. Bowring's word in the matter, even without the corroboration of the Scotsman and its informants. And in the same degree that we regret having given too much credit to election-news (which rarely deserve more than bulletins, and for much the same reasons), we are glad to find that we are not to rank Dr. Bowring, to that extent, am 000: those who play a Tory game fir ostensibly Liberal purposes. _ _ _ (From the Standard.) Lord Stanley's motion, relative to the detention of Mr. M'Leod by the authorities of New York (tiled for Monday), will involve the discussion of some of the most important, and also some of the clearest and best undzrstood principles of international law. Mr. M'Leed, it is known, is a prisoner in the ;o°l of Lockport, New York, awaiting his Wul upon a charge of murder, said to have been committed its the cutting out of the Caroline, when that piratical vessel, employed by the pirates of Navy Island, was seized by the British. The unfortunate gentleman, who was Deputy-Sneriff of the Niagara district at the tune of the pirate war in aid of the Canada rebellion, was not concerned in the cutting out of the Caroline ; but some Canadian traitors swear that he was ; and convicted he will be, and executed as a felon he will be, if the British Government do not vigorously interfere ; perhaps, indeed, the interposition mty be even now too , late. This it is to have a weak and contemptible Government. At what other period in English history would any foreign State thus dare to outrage the law of nations in the person of a British subject ? A negotiation, it is true, has taken place upon the subject of Mr. M'Leod's detention and danger, and the British Minister has spoken with firmness and vigour ; but what is the worth of negotiation which is not to be fol lowed by acts ? The insolent pettifogging of the United States' Minister's reply is proof that he knows his men, and that, however conclusively Mr. Fox may reason, still the ruffians of New York are at liberty to hang the Englishmen without fear of consequences. What are Mr. Forsytl.'s arguments ? First, he says that the affair rests altogether with the State of New York—that the President has no power given him by the American Constitution—to interpose between an independent State of the Union and a f'oreig❑ Power. Be it so. Then if New York provokes a quarrel with Great Britain by an act of atrocious outrage, ' New York must fight her own battles. Will the President consent to this ?—vvil he permit that as New York will not account to him for its con duct, New York shall go to war without his aid ? No. The law which gives to the Federal Govern ment the arrangement of all questions with foreigners necessarily involves the absolute and exclusive jurisdic tion over cases like that of Mr. M'Leod, otherwise any particular State might indulge itself in the most atrocious aggressions, without the consent of the Fi deral Govern ment, and even against its will, but in full reliance upon its support. Mankind could not long tolerate a pirati cal nuisance like this, and the only consolation would be that it must soon fall to pieces by its own crimes. The first principle of international law Is, that a State is to protect those only whom it can control ; for it can be justly responsible for the acts only of those whom it can govern. (From the Courier.) Leave has been given, on the application of Mr. Labouchere, to bring in a Bill for the further regulation of raikays, as tending to the public safety. This Bill will be founded on the paper which has been presented to Parliament, signed by Mr. Porter, Sir F. Smith, and Mr. Laing, who form the Railway department of the Board of Trade, to execute the provisions of Lord Sey mour's Act. This document is well calculated to impress Members with the necessity of a new Bill ; and we can have little doubt but that a large majority of the House will be prepared to concur in whatever the Government proposes nn this subject. In the recommendations from the Itailvray Department, the whole are drawn up so cautiously, that we have some chffieulty in ascertaining whether the intention be as advice to the Companies to save the necessity of legislation, or for insinuating Government interfl:rence in the most trifling and mi nute details. It certainly will be the fault of the Directors themselves if they allow the experience they have so lately received to pass unheeded, and without making such provision for the general conduct of their lines and the safety of the public, as to render practi cally all powers of correction a dead letter. At the same time, as no exertion on their parts will pre vent a Bill of the sort from passing through Parlia ment, our advice would be for each Company to send to the Committee appointed at the Birmingham Con ference their opinions in writing on the different clauses of the Bill, a copy of which will be forwarded to each of them, so scon as it is printed, and leave the interests of the t ailways generally to their discretion. As the Bill is at present proposed, some of the clauses seem objectionable ; but they will best be met by the con• centrated opposition of the Committee, aided, if need be, by the general force of the whole of the railway interest. ONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) HERA LD.—The Funds arc still drooping, and Con sols deciined again to-day, the closing prices being 88i to 89 for Account, and 88i to 4 for Money. The causes as signed for the heavy state of the Market to-day were the confirmation of the unpropitious news in respect of bank ing affairs in the United States, as to the United States Bank at least, and the reported unf9vuurable complexioo of the estimate which it was expected would be laid before the House of Commons this evening. It may however be doubted if the cause do not lie deeper t ban what is here assigned. The papers from the United States brought by the Cambridge were delivered to-day. They contain the ex pected statement of the affairs of the United States Bank, as laid before the Shareholders at the annual meeting on the 4th ultimo in Philadelphia. This do cument is undoubtedly of unusual interev, and m,re over of unusual clearness and honesty, although there are still points of great importance which require to be made plainer before the real state of the ease can ever yet be understood. It has been objected here tofore on occasion of similar documents, for instance that the bill account has been presented as a whole, and with out classification, as if all good and available. This was clearly deceptious, and something worse, it' done with an intent. The fact is proved in the present instance', fur this account is now separated into two parts, from the ex amination of which a vast amount of loss is at once appa rent in this single branch alone. The case, it may be ap prehended, would be worse still if the bill account had been classified, as it ought to be, into three parts, instead of two ; that is, if it had shown not only the " suspended" bill account, but bad distinguished in the statement of " active" bills, such proportion of these as were bills re newed, and therefore doubtful, from those which were bills in the regular course of discount and good, Taking the account as it stands the fcllowing results appear. The first item of the assets consists of active bills discounted, as sumed as good thus: Total Active Suspended Bills e s e ecur in it s i It is evident that th ese " suspended " bills should be es timated total r a es t po a nsiblef o lo r ss w , h a ic s h Gaveconsisting lonz of bn o es lve t n h t e parties , and therefore the recovery of the amounts past hop e. The Committee of Inspecti on appo i nted at the meet ing of stockholders estimate the whole probable losss upon the " suspended" bill debt and real estate at something less than 5,000,000 dollars, but upon what foundation does not appear. For there can be little doubt, as before said, that the whole 9,799,800 dol lars of suspended bills are irrecoverably bad. Of the " active" bills there will most probably be no incon. siderable proportion in the shape of renewed bills of no greater value. The bill account, now certainly stated with a better approach to precision, but still not suffi ciently explicit, has, it will not be forgotten, always been viewed as a peculiar feature in the bank's accounts most liable to suspicion, and the event has not only amply justi fied the suspicions expressed but leaves doubts behind yet unexplained. Taking the case as it stands, in this single bill account an actual amount of loss is exhibited more than equal to one-fourth of the 35,000,000 dollars, consti tuting the original capital of the bank. The consideration of this fact is quite sufficient to account for the heavy de preciation in bank shares immediately consequent on the publication of the bank report in New York and Philadel phia, and before noticed in the scanty advices which came to hand from the Cambridge when weather bound off Cork. The consideration of the other portion of this bank state ment must be postponed for the present, but will be re sumed on another occasion. SEVEN LIVES LOST.—On the night of Wed nesday se'nnight, a boat, with a crew of eight men, left the shore at Lacken to fish for herrings. Having been very successful, the unfortunate men were returning about eight o'clock, when, at the distance cf a hundred yards from the shore, a wave broke over the boat, which instantly filled and sunk. Of the eight men who were in it, only one escaped, hiving Seized an oar, and being a good swimmer, The expressions of grief uttered by one woman in parti. cular were truly heartrending she bad to lament the death of a husband, a fatime, and a brother.—lllayo Con stitution. THE SUN. LONDON, MONDAY, FPBRUARY 8, 1841. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 6. cALDrcoTT V. CA LDICOTT.-JUDGMENT. The Loan CILA NCEI Loa gave judgment to-day in this ease. which was argued before his Lordship yesterday upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice Cha nce ll or . The only question in the case was whether the gift of the residue of the personal estate under the will of tilt , testator in the cause a as void for uncertainty. The Vice Chancellor decided that it was, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. The Lord thancellor was clearly of opinion that there was nu ambiguity in the testator's will, and ordered the Vice Chan cellor's decision to be reversed, the costs to be costs in the cause. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, FRB. 6. THE QUEEN V. THE STEWARD OF THE MANOR OF RICHMOND. Te Court gave judgment in this case, which was a mandamus directed to John Allen Powell, steward of the Royal manor of Richmond, and commanding him to hold a Court and admit Eliza beth Sheltond as tenant to certain customary or copyhold estates. It had been contended for the defendant that the writ was insuffi cient and must be quashed, and the objection being founded upon matters of substance, namely, that the Lord of the Manor had not been included with the steward in the order, was one which the Court was bound to entertain. it had been lately determined by the Court that writs must be directed to the Lord of the Manor and the steward jointly, on the ground that the interests of the Lord might suffer if he was not included. On the other hand it had been argued that this being a Royal manor, and the Queen the Lady of the Manor, bath parties could not be included, as the Sovereign could not command herself to do any act. But the interests of the Sovereign, the manor being the property of the Queen, might be affected if the mandamus were directed to the steward only, and although the prosecutor could not have a man damus, he was not without protection, as, wherever there was matter of complaint by the subject against the sovereign, the pro. ceeding might Le by Bill of Right, and the Court was no more au. thorised to lay aside that and similar proceedings, than to adopt the novel line of a mandamus against the Crown. It was further urg, d that the Queen was not now lady or the manor, as, by the statote 10 Geo. IV.. a new arrangement of the property of the Crown had taken place, and was vested it) the CommisAoners of Woods and Forests ; but that Act gave no right to proceed against these Com missioners in matters affecting the interests of the Crown, and the Queen was still virtually the lady of the manor, and must be treated as such. On the whole, therefore, they were of opinion that the writ of mandamus was not well founded in law, and must be quashed. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Fes. 6. DUNN v. ALEXANDER. The trial of this cause excited the must extraordinary interest. Long before its commencement the Court was crowded to excess. Sir Francis Burdett and his daughter Miss A. B. Coutts were seated on the bench. Lord ABINGER took his seat on the bench at half past nine o'clock, and the trial immediately commenced. , It was an action by Mr. Dunn, a barrister, against the defendant, a gentleman residing near the Regent's Park, to recover damages far false imprisonment. The plaintiff conducted his case in person, and after a long address to the Jury, in the course of which he stated that the defendant had given him into custody without any sufficient ground for so doing, called a policeman, who stated that in the month of June last, the defendant gave plaintif into his custody on a charge of having knocked at his door and created a dis turbance. Witness took plaintiff to the station-house, and afterwards before Mr. Rawlinson, the Magistrate, at Merylebone Police Office, by whom he was held to bail to keep the peace. Miss A. B. Coutts was ntxt called, and after stating that she caked at the house of the defen dant, followed by plaintiff, said the latter was given' in charge by the former, in consequence of his insisting upon seeing her after she had entered the defendant's house. On her cross-examination by Sir FREDERICK PoL LOCK, she detailed at great length the annoyances to which she had been subjected by the plaintiff, and with which the public are fully acquilicted. Sue then stated that on the day in question, she was walk ing in the Regent's Park, with a female friend, when she met the plaintiff, who again annoyed her with his importunities, and to get rift of him she went to the house of the defendant, a friend of her father's, where she obtained admittance, and informed him of the plaintiff's conduct towards her. She had been there but a short time, when the plaintiff knocked at the door, and insisted upon seeing her. The defendant endeavoured to persuade him to go away, and on his re fusing to do so, gave him in charge to a policeman. The witness, after again alluding to the plaintiff's couduct to her, her having exhibited articles of the peace against him at the sessions, and other proceedings which she had been compelled to take in consequence, said that the con duct of plaintiff had created in her mind a feeling of dis gust and abho►rence towards hire. Mr. Rawlinson, the Magistrate, proved that the plaintiff was brought before him, in custody, on the charge above stated, and that he ordered him to find bail to keep the peace. The plaintiff wished Miss Coutts to be present at his examination, but he (wit ness) did not allow it, because plaintiff had said that if she were examined he would " work her guts for her." Sir F. POLLOCK addressed the Jury at great length on the part of the defendant. The Jury atter a short consultation returned a verdict fur the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 6. (Before Mr. Justice ERSKINE and a Special Jury). MEYERS V. sTUBBi. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to re cover from the ddf tidant, a messenger of the. Court of Bankruptcy, the value of a quantity of furniture illegally seirld, and sold under a fiat of bankruptcy. This case has occupied the Court for two thys. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and Mr. Chambers, conducted the plaintiff's case ; Mr. Fitz• roy Kelly, Mr. Humphreys, and Mr. Hoggins, repre sented the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was in the upholstering business, having an establishment for the manufacture of goods in Wentworth -street, Whited:lapel ; and an other for the sale of them in Skinner -street, Snow-hill. In the early part of the year 1839, a person of the name of Edwards had received an order from a Mr. Godsell for the furnishing of the Torbay Tavern, at Greenwich, the amount of which exceeded 1,2001. Not being able to execute it himself, he brought it to the plaintiff, Meyers, who then took Edwards into his employment, and placed him us a manager over both his establishments. Edwards very soon became embarrassed, and was cast into prison, and filed his schedule, but was admitted out on bail. He subsequently became a bankrupt in the month of Sep tember, 1839, and, not obtainiug his certificate, he told his assignees, that so far from being Meyers' (the plaintiff's) agent and manager, that the establishments, and all they contained, Lelonged to him, under at; agreement that he was to pay Meyers 20 per Ma. Consequently the defendant, under the fiat, seized the goods in both the establishments and removed them for sale to auction rooms, and suhaequently the greater part of theta were removed to Eilwards's residence, in Old -street, to sell them, as the ag.snt of the assignees. On being seized the plaintiff offered an indemnity to vile defendant which was refused. He then sent appraisers value them in the auction rooms. and they were pre vented from doing so by the assignees, but they sent their own appraisers, who only valaed them at 760/. For the plaintiff numerous witnesses were examined, who proved that the materials of the furniture were purchased and paid for by Mr. Meyers, the plaintiff, and Edwards was only his agent. For the defendant, Edwards was called who swore that the furniture was his under an agree ment, and that he was not the agent of Meyers ; but on his cross-examination he admitted that he stated so in the schedule filed in the Insolvent Court, and in a deposition of his sworn to before a Magistrate that he acted only as the manager and foreman of the plaintiff, Meyers, both of which were put in evidence ; but he now stated that what be bad sworn before the Magis trate win false. Mr. THESIGER having replied, the Jury srid that they would not troble his Lordship to ,um up the evi dence, as their minds were tnadc up to find tar the plaintiff; but they begged to retire for a few minutes to calculate the interest and to make some little deductions. His LOADSEIIP concurred in this verdict, and told them they could find for any sum which they thought wns a fair compensation fur the injuries sustained by the plaintiff. The Jury retired for a few minutes found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1,2001. BAIL COURT, Fxs. 6. PARRY V. KELLY. FA/LURE OF A THEATRICAL SPECULATION.—Mr, PLATT, for the plaintiff, stated that this action was, brought by a comedian of considerable eminence in hn profession, against the ceehrated Kelly, an actres., of whom the jury must frequently have heard, for breach of contract. It was, perhaps, pretty generally known that the defendant, a few months since, with a view, as she stated, of restoring the purity of the drama, opened a threatro in Dean-street, Soho, under the usual li cense from the Lord Chamberlain. Bills were duly issued and publicly placarded, announcing her intention to open such theatre, and the object she had in view in so doing. It was also intimated that the Duke of De vonshire patronized her undertaking ; the 18th of May was fixed upon for the opening. It was, however, un avoidably delay e d un til t h e 25th, when it opened with The Sergeants' Wife an d Th e Mi dnight Hour. Be fore, however, proceeding thus far, it appeared the defendant engaged a company of performers, amongst whom the I.laintiff, telling the ladies and gentlemen so engaged that she intended taking the theatre for two months as a speculation, and engaged them for that N riod. Unfortunately the speculation proved a bad one, and Miss Kelly closed the theatre on the following Friday night, basing kept it open three nights only. She announced this determination on her part to the performers on the Friday night, and on the following 71. a week, was paid only 54 16s. 81. that proportionate sum for the nu m b er o f ns lai n t dayt a the tbe ai pg akrhytie ff of, who had been engaged by th e defend ant nighty which the theatre had continued open; and the defendant having refused to pay him his salary for the period for which she had engaged him, he was und er the necessity of bringing the present action. The following witnesses were then called on the part of the plaintiff : William Bunn stated that, in consequence of instruc- titles he received from the defendant, he introduced plaintiff to her, and ahe engaged him to perform at her theatre. He understood the engagement was for seven weeks. Cross-ex mined—Witness was a perforrnrr, and gaged at defendsnt's theatre ; his engagement wss for the season. He did not sign aoy articles. The de fendant told him she had taken the theatre merely as an experiment. Edward Tumour stated that he was a theatrical agent. The defendant applied to him in May last, stating that she was about to open a theatre in Dean street, a .d re quested he would engage a company of per formers for her. She said she should want them for six or eight weeks only, as she was only going to open the theatre as an experiment. She afterwards told wit ness that she had engaged the plaintiff. Mr. Tnompsan, an actor, proved that he had pre pared the play-bills of the defendant's theatre, in which the plaintiff's lid= was mentioned as one of the per formers. Mr. Fairbrother, a printer, proved that he was em ployed by the d4endant to print the hills in question. Mr. Morris Barnett proved that he WB3 engaged at defendant's theatre for a definite period, but that the speculation not answering, she, after it had been opened three nights, called the prfortners topther, and told them that the theatre would not be opened on the following evening, and that she had no further occasion for their s.crviccnt. Mr. M. D. HILL addressed the Jury fur the defend ant, and contended that the def:nclant was not liable to the present action, she having fairy told till the per formers, at the time sha engap,ed them, tiPtt she had taken the theatre merely as a specidatioti,—that she hoped to be able t keep it. opon for six weeks or two mouths, and it the speculation answered, she would, at the end of that time, give them ull re K uhr eugage me-nts. Tne speculation tailed, and she paid all the performers every farthing they could justly claim of her, viz., their salary for the number ut nights they had performed. The plaintiff was paid in th a t way, and he took the money without making any further dem tud, or saying anything about an engagement far six weeks, or any other period. The Learned Gionsel did not call any wit.n.3eS. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, having summed up the evi dence, the Jury returned a verdict fur the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Richard Moore, aged 30, a person of very respect able appearance, was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged note of the Salop Beak for 51., well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud Messrs.

He was at the rooms on the 31st of December last. He came in with a gentleman who was in the habit of frequenting the rooms. The pri soner &eyed at cards till about three o'clock in the morning. At one time he had won money, but arta - wards continued to lose. The prisoner produced some country notes. Witness did not see any other person with such notes. In the course of the evening witness lent the prisoner 38/. in Bank of England and country notes, which had previously been pail to gentlemen in the room by prisoner. None of the eeuntry notes had been produced before the prisoner en tered the room. Witness lout the prisoner the money, and received an I. 0. U. for it.

After the prisoner had left the rooms, a gentleman paid witness some 51. country bank notes, which be had taken from the prisoner. ‘Vitness gave cash for nine of them. He kept the notes until the following morning, when, in consequence of soma information, he went to Messrs. Glynn and Co.'s, and afterwards to Messrs. Bush and Co., solici tors, where he found his wite was detained in custody. Jo the evening, the porter at Fricour's hotel, St. Mar tin's-lane, brought witness a letter from the prisoner. (The letter was here produced, and identified by the witness.) Witness went there afterwards with Forrester, the officer, and the prisoner was then taken into cus tody. Cross-examined —Hi s house is not a gaming. house. It is not frequ-nted by disreputable characters. Hazard and cards are played there. It was kept open all night. On the night in question the prisoner played at 100. Witness did not know the names of the gentlemen with whom the ;sr:sneer played. They were in the habit of frequenting leis house, perhaps four nights in the week. They were not reguier gamblers, to his knowledge. Believed people could cheat at 100. Had heard so. Never saw it done. Played that night end lost. The prisoner won at the beginning of the game, but after wards lost his winnings, and all the money he had be side. Tile prisoner lost 60/. Witness was not in the habit of sitting down with the company to play. The prisoner left off play between three and four o'clock is the morning. He did not know the addresses of the gentlemen who played with the prisoner. Witness re c: ived a letter from the prisoner in the morning, which he afterwards gave to Mr. Bush, the solicitor for the prosecution. It cane. by post. Mrs. Cooke, the wile of the last witness, stated that on the morning of the Ist of January her hush tnd gave her five 51., country bank notes to take into the City to get cashed. She took one of them to Messrs. Glynn and Co.'s, and got it cashed. Two others she took to Messrs. Barclay and and on requesting they would cash them she was detained. An officer (For. rester) was sent for, and she gave him the other notes. Mr. Jahu Nersom, a clerk to Messrs. Glynn, Hali fax, and Co.; Robert Davis, a clerk in the Salop Bank ; James Smith, a clerk in the Ross and Archenfield Bank ; and Mr. John Aldie, a clerk in the Yaratomh and Suf folk Bank, proved that the notes were forged. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stated that he was sent for to the house of Messrs. Barclay and Co. on the Ist of January. He saw MN. Cooke there, and detained her, but afterwards went with her to her husband, from whom he received sonic information. In the evening Cooke came to witness, and he and a man named Chap pell went with witness to Fricour's Hotel. Witness saw the prisoner there in the coffee-room. Witness took hint to a private room, and then told him that he was an officer, and that he apprehended him for passing forged notes. He said they were not forged, they were fictitious. Witness put him into a coach, and while there lie said he had lost a great deal cf . money. He had been ruined, and had taken those steps to try to get it back. CLappell (who was a waiter at a gamin;;-'.louse) said " We have had none of your money. You are a winner of us of 51." The prisoner replied, " No, only 41. 10s.” Witness received from Mrs. Cooke two country hank-notes while she was at Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s. Mr. Becon, of the firm of Messrs. Perkins and Co., engravers in Fleet-street, stated that be was in the haeit of engraving country bank -notes. The note pro duced was engraved from one of his plates. It was an India proof taken from a genuine plate, It is usual to take impressions on India paper, and those it:tended for circulation were afterwards pasted on thin backs. The others, which were for specimens, were on Kadin paper only.—(Witness here produced one of the notss on a thick paper back.) An India proof in the state in which it left witness's office would not take ink. Tile note produced had originally been pasted on thick paper, which would make it stronger as well as take ink. It had been afterwards taken off the thick paper. By the Judge—Wnen a new bank is about to be established. the parties send to engravers for specimens of notes. Those produced were, no doubt, specimens that had been sent from witness's oifiee to sonic banker's who did not take care of then,. Notes placed on thick backs conld easily be separated from them efterw4rds. Sine the present 3ff,ir witness had never sont out any notes as sionmens th it were not stamped Mich the word "swine-a!' The letter the pr soner sent to Mr. Cooke was 'acre put. in runt resd. It ta, knows edged that the notes he had pail him the night before wer, fictitious, and he had in ignorance taken them from an old school-Ids low it cautioned Mr. Cooke (wiliest putting them in circulation, and promised to exchange theta for good ones as soon as he was able. Mr. C. PHILLIPS ad.irt.Aleil OP Jury at grest length on the part of the prisoner, whom he described as a anember of a highly respectable family in Ireland, and said he had taken the notes question from a gentleintio in payment of a bet, and that the day after the pris soner had paid them away at the gaming-house., friend informed him that the notes were fictitious, upon wiiich he immediately wrote a letter to Mr. Cooke, cans tinning him Against putting the notes in circulation. Mr. Justice COLTMANI summed up the evidence, and the jury retired to conader their verdict. After an ab sence of an hour and a half, they returned into Court with a verdict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy on account o h s having endeavoured to pre vent the circulation of toe notes immediately after he had put them The prisoner was again indicted for forg:ng and utter ing two bank-notos, one to r! 01. and the other for 51., with intent to defraud the Directors of the Boston Bank.

Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentoiced the prisoner to be transported for fifteen years. POLICE INTELLIGENC". :IN SION. HO U SE. THE WEST MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE COHPANY.— Sir Peter Laurie came to the Justice Room while the Lord Mayor was sitting, and called his Lordship's attention to a great number of written and verbal com munications which he had received on the subj , :ct of the atrocious frauds which he stated from the chair of the Mansion-house, a short time ago, had been committed by the individuals who called thetriselvus " The Inde pendent West Middlesex Fire and Life Assurance Com pany." Since he had made that exposure as a Mag;s -t rate of the City, a vast deal of informatio❑ had come to his kuowledge relative to the conduct of the manager of the concern, principally through the medium of the suff...rers, and he was compelled t 6 declare, that in all his experience of wholesale villany, he never had heard of any frauds which bore c!•mparison with those prac tised by the fellows who conspired together to rob of their whole means of support a great uember of indus trious and ag,,,d and debititated men and women. The LORD MAYOR a,ked whetter the cases of the persons who had been so p!undered were in the hands of sacitorr, or whether the mttnageri of the Domp Any were to he tou:d ? P. LAuttlE replied that the houses of Farquhar at . .tf ‘'o., Broad-strt , et, and of Bigg and Co., at tile Wcst-end of the town, were engaged by a number of the el:intim:is ; t-ait ii , heved the directors and diana g:rs of the company were on the Coot ihent. H. bad every reliance tit,,on toe energy and ability of these soli citors, who, he supposed, had got hold by this time of vme property winch had been ptrehnsed in the ware-road, to the amount of some thousands, he one of ;he directors, with part of the money which had been received from some of the unfortunate annuitants. Front what he had hard from Mr. Farquhar, he had every reason to suppose that before the partners took fl ght they shared considerably above 250,0001., and he be lieved that the annuitants who had paid in most of that money were many of them rendered completely des titute by th it , solc,i,cy of art mock estabilshment. Toe LOUD Mayon feared that, und,r eir aumstanc,s, tn. office Of a Mtt,istr,.te, as regarded the parties accu.ed, could not bt to.de avadaale beyond tt:e mere unlimited exposure of the transaction, in which he knew the press would most willingly assist. S:r PETER LAURIE suid that he would read a letter which be had just uat moment received from a k;eatle man of Cheltenham. It was nothing in comparison wiih some communications which he ILIcl received in the course of the last fortnight, but it would serve to give some idea of the villany of the transactions, which had is some instanc,s, he bad been assured, caused death he suicide, and in others by broken hearts. It was as follows Sir—Having seen by the papers the interest you have so laudably evinced relative to the West Middle sex Assurance Company, thus by your influential opi nion waning others from becoming victims to establish ments carried on under such fraudulency, I, as one of the sufferers, cannot refrain from expressing my thanks to you for having espoused our case, and though your obliging endeavours may not effsetually recal our pledged property, yet I among others, feel grati fied for that sympathy which your expressions have excited in the minds of others on our be half. Aithough I should be sorry to trespass upon your valuabie time, yet I foe( assured you will extend your indulgent attention a few minutes whilst I briefly state the particulars of my aggravated csse. lam 11 clergyman with a contracted income, and trove brought up a family respectably, amongst them a son, aged 2.7, who for many years has been suffering from the sad malady of epilepsy, rendering him incapable of exerting himself towards his own livelihood. Desirous at my decease that he should not become a burthen to his brothers and resters, I laid out very nearly 2,000/. in the purchase of an annuity for him in the West Mel dlesex Assurance Company. kissing lived the greatest part of my life in the country, and not so conversant in worldly matters as a man of busiocss, some al lowance might well be made if a want of caution should be imputsd to me, but I must state that ! I did not enter into this transaction without some consideration and inquiry, which were so far satisfied, by an assurance from the Company that the annuity deed would be signed by three of the di , ectors, and that a memorial of the bond should be enrolled in the Court of Chancery, pursuant to en Act of Parlia ment made for that purpose, which is also stated at the back of the parchment bonds—one with a 121. st snip, the other a 61. stamp. This blow to me ,s the more se vere, from its having beers just preceded by the ini'or matioe of a brother-in-law has ins died ieaolvent, :s aura I had kizoilydent 1,300/. towards bringing up a faini.y of &• von children, se that my iecente is reduccd nearly 2001." The letter concludes a reference to a pro fessional man hign eminence in Lincoln's lan, and a postscript, statio; that " the p , lrLies were aware of my son's ililictise malady when I purchased the annuity.' Tile LORD MAYOR observed that, from ail appear atic:s, the company hat made very ingemous arrange merits fur carrying on tieeir ousiness, and that they were able to answer questions by a reference to what had be-n done to stamp responsibdity upon tire managers. Sig PETER LAURIE stated that every thing appeared to have been done under legal advice to give a charac ter to the concern, and blind poor la °pie who wanted a I .rge per centage for the money. He wished that those who had any tiling to communicate on toe sub ject teeuld write to bun to the Mauston -Horse, where he should pursue the inquiry with the utmost zeal. Nothing could be comp'sred to the impudence of the acting mangers of the Company. But it was to be ap prehended that there were several concerns in the metropolis] resembling in principle the villanous Com pany he had been describing. The LORD MAYOR said he was sure that Sir Peter L runic would be warmly aided by,his;brother Magistrates in crushing or interrupting their progress. Sir PETER LAURIE stated that Mr. Farquhar, the solicitor to the parties is Glasgow, who had peen pion tiered by the " Independent West Middlesex Ascu. ranee Company," handed to bias the following printed paper, which was extensively issued when the fabrica tors of the nefarious scheme were attacked by the Scotch Rifiiriners' Gazette. Nothing Mr. Farquhar said could equal the resolute perseverance of the con spirators in their attempts to get hold of' all the pro perty which poor ignorant women might be induced to intrust to them, io the hope of obtaining a comfortable per centage for their lives : " Tu the Public. " Independent and ‘Vest Middlesex Assurances Company. " In consequence arm advertisement and paragraph that apvared in the Scotch licfiiriners' Giizette, of the 2il August, this Company feel bound to take notice of the seine, and to state that more base, foul, and un founded calumnies were never printed. " This Company has met with great opposition from other insurance offices, in its endeavours to benefit the public, on account of its low rates of premium. Amongst the rest, Mr. Barber Beaumont, of the County,' ha; done all in his power to retard its pro gress in the public favour. " The report does trot originate with Mr. Macken zie, the editor, but with others connected with the mo nopolizing companies. Mr. Mackenzie states that he is willing to prove his villanous libel upon the honour end integrity of this Company before a Judge and Jury, and an opportunity will not he long wanting for hi m so to do, as actions will be forthwith commenced. Until the trials take place, the public are respectfully re quested to . susp!nd their judgment and to treat the re port merely its the offspring of envy, jealousy, and malice. " We, the undersigned (lor tlie satisfaction of the parties who tray be assured at tilt. office), beg to state that the premiums received last p.m. amounted to 44,000/., and the there is every prospect of its being doubled this year ; and that all claims made upon the . Company have bead paid, where tire has been no fraud ; and :hat even should they ire edikd on to the event of 200,000/., they are ready to disch:krge the saute, and they solemnly pledge themselves to do justice t. , walis the pubic, and pursue the course they hare hitherto done. But they cannot conclude without ob serving, that, tar from large sums of money having been drawn from Gleelow within the list twelve months, there has not been sufficient received to pay that ex penses of keeping up the estaohshinent there ; but 'rusones, that the public would discern the aclsant,tzes they derive from Cempany. and support them at:- „ s a mg l e , toey base purchascil of the Glasgow Uoion Bank the premises in Ingram-street, and by so doing have raised the envy, malice, and spleen of other offices. S:gned by the MAllavrs and Secretary." Sir P LAURIE expressed a firm hope that after such a case a:. that of th. West. Middlesex Assurance Company, the Goveri.ment would interfere to compel all insurance offices to be reg.stered duly, and take measures to tnsure the blna fide solvency and responsi bility of those who were concerned in them. He ex pected to have a great deal to state to the public in the ensuing week. He should, at all events, if he could not get hold of the individuals who had been perpe trating all this mischief, set before the eyes of the world the &vent of the tilianies they had commattd. for ehr a i st 3 nit E :ato, N uerle N edod Y tuf, c:l P :iie, ( : ) on,E s bs rl ioi : ,gf A nep G d: E lstit,o,a i l S gdt Y eabye S , ,i SYSTEM.— te.ari: l iido i , t i,...n ts t l l xleiem.
