MORNING SUN THE EX-QUEEN REGENT .AND THE ACTUAL REGENT OF SPA CF. The Journal des Debats publishes the follow tug docu ments as official : LETTER. ADDRESSED TO HER MAJESTY :HI DONNA MARIA CHRISTINA DE BOURBON BY DON A LI:S72LINO DE OLOZAGA, DATED PARIS, OCT. 1 T, '°Madam—l have just seen in the Mon i t eur a de spatch from the French Charge d'Affaires r yiadricl, transmitted by the telegraph from Bayonne, w ecording to which it would appear that a rebel army C.ad endea voured by force of arms to obtain possessic a of the per sons of her Majesty Queen Isabella IL r end her Royal Highness "le Infanta, Donna Maria Low sa, and that the attempt had reached so far that the robe' s fought even in the palaces against the faithful troops, And that the hal berdiere themselves, who were on guard about the Queen's. person, had been obliged to interfere in the con test. four Majesty's heart must have been profoundly afflicte , I when you were apprisv'e of the danger to which your a ,ugust daughters were eeeposed, when you consider ed the spectacle which the palace of the Kings of Spain prese cited at that terrible moneemt—a palace which had been religiously respect:A, even when under the most critical circumstaneivs the enemies of liberty com pronrised the cause of the constitutional monarchy. tr the reign of yor.r Majesty's husband, the Royal Guard, which had revolted, was shamefully defeated by the :.gaeional Guard at. Madrid and the troops of the line, and although, whey. defeated, it took refuge in the palace, ,where the centre of the conspiracy way esta blished, the feeliree of respect was more powerful with the comenerors than the desire of crowning their tri umph, aryl they halted at sight of the royal residence— an admii able example which probably stands alone in the hist( pry of revolutions—an example which your Majesty (if you were not present) may learn accu rately frc an one of those who wero witnesses at least of the clang( Tto - Lich the Spanish Constitution was ex posed or. that day. But your Majesty yourself ob served tic it, dewing the six years which the war excited by Don C: erlae's partisans lasted, the latter never made a similar att grape. The reason is, that the present rebels have not the same pretence as the Carlists, nor a principle, ev en a false one, to proclaim, and those who have coaxal( 'need by treason, can only maintain them selves by violence. " If ateyth'.ng could increase the profound regret which such an ace, together with the rebellion which has broken out in some parts of Navarre and the Basque provinces, 'will produce throughout Spain, it is the fact of the rebels. making use of your Majesty's name, and that those who placed the Queen's life in peril style themselves the defenders of her mother. Before yester day, when I handed your Majesty the last letters written to you by - your august daughters, I could not avoid respectfully requiring. from your Majesty, that in order to regula to my conduct and the ulterior decision of my Govcrnraent, you would deign to acquaint me whether Generta O'Donnell, who styles himself Viceroy of Na varre. and the others who in the Basque provinces repro sent themselves as the agents of your Majesty and the Lieutenants of. a Regency which does not exist, had, in fact, received from your Majesty an appointment, an order, or an authority to do so ; and your Majesty deigned to reply that re was false that you had appointed O'Donne.l, that you had not given him nor any other person aay authority to do so; that you could not do so, as you yourself have none, and that whatever they did was on their own account. "I carefully collected and faithfully transmitted to the Government your Majesty's words. But, after having seen that at the same time that your Majesty declared what the rebels advamed to be false the latter continued to assume your Royal name, and particularly after having read the communication made by the French Charge d'Affaires, I believed that your Majesty could no longer suffer your name to serve as a flag for those who, by profaning the immunity of the Palace, placed the Queen and the Infanta'.i life in danger ; and that it became my duty, a ithout prejudice to other duties I have to fnifil, to represent to your Majesty, that if on this occasion, and when so unheard of an attempt wc'; committed, your Majesty did not address a declaration to the Spanish nation, to show the fraud of those who, by attributing to your Majesty a design of recovering the Regency, assume your name to destroy by force of arms the legitimate Government, your Majesty's silence could only bear one interpretation, according to which the connexions hitherto existing between your Majesty and the Spanish nation would manifestly change. " As I am about to fora at.; a despatch to Spain to morrow, I could, at the same time, transmit any mani festation which your . Majesty might deign to consider suitable to the occasion. I have the honour to inform your Majesty that the messenger will, for this purpose, wait until the latest hour of the night. " In renewing to your Majesty the most sincere ex pression of profound regret which the late attempt has caused me, inasmuch as it might have compromised the precious existence of your Majesty's august daughters, " I have the honour to be, &c., " Minister Plenipotentiary of the Queen of Spain, " SALUSTIANO DE OLOZAGA." COPY OF TrE DESPATCH WHICH, BY ORDER OF THE QUEEN, HER SECRETARY ADDRESSED TO DON SALUS- TIANO DE OLOZAGA THE 15TH OF OCTOBER. " The Queen Donna Maria Christina de Bourbon commanets me to tell your Lordship that she does not think pr oper to reply to your strange communication of the 12th of this month, in which the facts were mis stated, and her Majesty's words falsified. "May God protect your Lordship many years, " JOSE DEL CASTILLO Y AYENSA." RIMY OF DON SALTJSTIANO OLOZAGA, DATED THE 17Thi OF OCTOBER, TO THE PRECEDING DESPATCH. " At. 3 o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday I received a letter from your Lordship, dated the 15th instant, in which, by order of the Qu een D onna M ar i a Ch r i s ti na d e Boir:bon, your Lordship has the kindness to tell me that her Majesty does not think proper to reply to my strange communication of the 12th of this month, in which the facts are misstated, and her Majesty's words falsified. " These latter words, which neither your Lordship nor any other person has a right- to address to me, would justify me in using similar language. But my education would not permit me to do so, and my duty as a public character requires that I should at this moment dismiss every personal feeling. "Confining myself, therefore, merely to my functions as Minister Plenipotentiary of her Majesty Queen Isabella 11., I wish to tell your Lordship that I am will ing to corarnun'ecate to the Government of the Queen any resolution of her august mother which your Lord ship may wish -to transmit to me, and that I shall con sider everythirg stated in my former communica tion as accuraee until what is regarded as inaccurate is pointed out to. Inc. If there should be any inaccuracy therein, notwithstanding the care with which I endea voured. to retain and promptly commit to writing the few and serious words I had just heard, I am positive that it cannot be in the substantial matter, and I am disposed with respect to the remainder to admit any variation which may- be pointed out. My position is not equivo cal, and far from being obliged to elude any contradic tion, and to appeal to studied phrases to conceal the truth, I anxiously soak it. The Spanish Government, so desirous to ascertain the fact, will tell whether I have found it or not by her Majesty's silence. " Your L ordthip, when writing to me as Private Se cretary of her IlEejesty, omits, either designedly or through forgetfulraess, to mention my official character as the representativ e of the Spanish Government; and although Ido not -wish, for that reason, to term your Lordship's commi mication strange, I hope that if you have to address n le again it will not be under that form, inasmuch as it is not possible for me, under existing cir cumstances, to c antinne a correspondence with any one who would not . txplieitly acknowledge in the person of its Envoys the l eg i t i mate cons titutional government o f his Highness the R egent of the kingd om d uring t h e mi nority of the Queen Donna 'lsabella 11.

" The Que en neither advised nor created the sad events which, have again afflicted our unhappy country, while th e te• irs an d bl oo d w hi c h, during seven consecu tiveie. years, were shod in the Peninsula were still flowing. A stranger to all fete passions engendered by political discords, her Majesty supported with courage and re signation the ang wish which she has had to endure from the day when gee lost sight of the two august orphans so dear to her h cart.

After • having plunged her in misfortune the Revolutionists are strivirg to extort from her lips an iniquitous condemnation of those who, in resisting the most odious tyranny, have confidently invoked her august name. In their blind delirium they aspire to nothing less than to obtain from her Majesty the sanction of all the acts and all the scan dals of the Government of Madrid, which rekindled in Spain extinct discords, and they wish, moreover, that her Majesty should lay the responsibility of this new confla gration to the noble defenders of the laws indignantly outraged. Their frenzy prompts them to call on her Majesty to avow herself indirectly the accomplice of those who have the shameful impudence of calumniating, by charging them with r e gi c idal projects, the men who have courageously taken arms to deliver august and helpless orphans from the hardest bondage. " Her Majesty would cover h: reek with shame if she were to accept so ignomioious a posidon. She will never sully her name by so black a stain. The Queen, as great in misfortune as she was in prosperity, may nobly submit to suffer the most poignant trials of adver sity, but will never consent to enter into a compromise regarding questions which affect her honour, such as that of disowning generous Spaniards at a moment When they have sealed with their blood their unshakeable loy alty to the throne. Such are the intimate sentiments which the Queen entertains at the bottom of her heart, and such is the mature judgment which she bears on the last events of Spain. Her Majesty directs me expressly to make this known to your Lordship in her Royal name. in answer to your despatch of the 17th, in order that your Lordship may communicate it to the Government which has accre dited you to the Court of France, it being well under stood that her Majesty will immediately publish the cor respondence, since your Lordship presumes so lightly to inculcate the intentions of her Majesty, even in the prudent and inoffensive silence which she has hitherto observed. The Queen desires me to repeat to your Lordship what her Majesty. wrote herself on the Ist of June last to the Duke cl Victory, respecting the guar dianship. Her Majesty, after stating that :he was not accountable for the circumstances which afflicted Spin, that the situation of the kingdom was not her work, that the responsibility of the evils that might follow should not fall upon her, added these words:— " 'You may be certain that cowardly considerations will never induce me to sanction what my reason, my rights, and my convictions reprove, nor accept what is repugnant to my conscience, and my duties condemn.' This manifestation, equally applicable, and which her Majesty applies to the present case, must convince your Lordship that it would be vain to attempt, by vexatious menaces or calumny, to deter her Majesty from tke scru pulous accomplishment of all her duties towards God, towards her august daughters, and towards the Spanish nation. " ller Majesty desires I at the same time should tell your Lordship, that the present writing contains the exact and faithful meaning, the true signification of what her Majesty said to your Lordship the last time your Lordship had the honour of being admitted into her Royal presence. The Queen declares not only that the expressions whieh your Lordship has mado her use have not been pronounced as reported by your Lordship, bat that those which your Lordship has ascribed to her could only be produced by the fallacious memory of your Lord ship, who supposed her Majesty to have expressed ideas and words which she did not utter. "Finally, I n...st inform your Lordship, by express order of the Queev, that the present communication is the last that I shall address to you in the name of her Majesty. " God presorve your Lordship many years, "JOSE DEL CASTILIO Y AYENS.A. " Paris, Oct. 24, 1641." PROTEST OF THE PRINCE OF MANTUA. We have been requested to publish the following copy of a Protest sent to Prince Metternich, President of the Court of Chancellery of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, &e. " I, Prince Alexandre de Gonzaga di Mantova, Prince of the Boman Empire, Prince of Castiglione, Due di Salferino, Marquis di Medote, &c., lineal descendant of the Sovereign Princes of Gonzaga di Mantova, pay alle giance to his Majesty the Emperor Ferdinand of Austria; but, although I conform to the sentence of the Diet of Ratisbon, pronounced in 1708 against the last Sovereign Prince Ferdinando Carlo de Gonzago, Due di Mantova et di Montferrat, &c., " I protest against the legality of the agreement by which Prince Luigi di Gonzaga, who was born at Venice in 1745, and died - at Vienna 10th of September, 1819, renounced the principality of Castiglione, the Duchy of Salferino, and the Marqiiisate of Medote, in favour of the Empress Maria Theresa, for the annual sum of ton thousand florins. "1. Because hereditary possessions cannot be ceded under any condition, without the consent of the nest nearest heirs. "2. Because Prince Luigi di Gonzaga knew perfectly well that the lineal descendants of his great grandfather Prince Ferdinand VI. de Gonzaga, Prince di Casti glione, were still living in Spain, and that consequently the concurrence of the younger branch of the Prince de Gonzaga di Vescovado in this affair was illegal ; and "3. Because the marriage of the grandfather of Prince Luigi with Anna Aneuissala was declared null, and by this fact alone the rights of Prince Luigi to dis pose of these possessions were inadmissable. " My father, Prince Guiseppe Luigi, born at Madrid, was completely ignorant of the existence of the agreement between Prince Luigi de Gonzaga, his cousin, and the Empress ; and by the death of ,my father in 1818, as well as of Prince Luigi in 1819, I became the head of the family, and I demand, as lineal descendant of the Princes di Castiglione to be reinstated in my possessions of Castiglione, Sal ferino, and Medote, and to have my claims examined by the next Diet of Sovereigns which may be held, or by Congress; also that his Majesty the Emperor of Aus tria, whose justice is well known, would be pleased to accept my allegiance, and deign to confirm me, as my ancestors, in the hereditary privileges of the Princes of Castiglione, &c. "I renew my written declaration to the Minister of Police at Vienna, dated the 12th May, 1837, against the person who forged my signature to a paper stating my decision not to again enter Austria. I protest that I have never either read or seen that paper, and that I could not have attached my signature to such an act of stupidity at a moment when family affairs required my presence at Vienna.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The particulars given in the Tines of this morning, regarding the forgeries of Exchequer Bills, are calculated to create a wrong impression as to the party implicated in the affair, and who, instead of be longing to the Exchequer Bill-office, has been long at tached to that of the Comptroller-General. The gen tlemen in the Exchequer Bill-office are in no way con nected with this affair, except so far as they have one and all shown considerable zeal in aiding to detect the parties concerned in . it ; and to the incessant energy of one individual connected with this depsrtmennt—its Ac countant, whose inquiries have extended to transactions of some years back—the discovery of the prin4mover of the fraud may be in a great degree attributed. As there is allowed to be no reason for concealing the name of the individual chiefly implicated, as he has confessed his participation in the transaction, •we can have no scruple in mentioning Mr. Smith, of the Comptroller-General's office, as the individual alluded to. It is understood that to such an extent has the system been carried, that he himself finds it impossible to say whether it is to the amount of one, two, or three hundred thousand pounds that Bills are outstanding which hare been issued improperly. The posithin of Mr. Smith gave him every facility for the fraud, since it was a part of his duty to insert the numbers and dates open the Bills, which are • consequently on the proper paper, and arc in ivory respect genuine, except as to de signature, and the improper use that has been made of them. There are, it is true, three different persons who have had to perform the duty of B:gain.; the Bills, hut this arises from the fart that the cflie,er who is under the Compttoller-General has been once changed ; but it is the custom only to extend the power in question to tlie immrdiate eputy of the chief of the dep:.rtment. Tnc slur Lbat has been thrown by the irnes on the Whig Administration, for its bile daring management of this department, can only apply to the Tories, whose system has been merely followed by their successors ; end it is just as likely to have been under a Consci vative Government that the fraud was first put in practice, since it l:as been continued for se veral years, according to the confession of the party committing it. It is but justice to the clerks in the Comptrellet Ge neral's office to make as pubic as possible the declara tion of Mr. Smith, who seems disposed t 3 disguise no thing, that he is the only official individual concerned in this matter. It has become a question vehether these Bids will be paid by the Government. If they had been taken bona fide under circumstinces not Neely to excite suspicion, it would be hard !lacked that the hold ers should lose ; but we fear that it will be found to be the fact, that they were received upon terms that must have raised a' doubt of their authenticity, they having been in more than one instance deposited as security for money raised, at seven per cent, in terest. A certain large toll-contractor, of the Jewish persuasiou, and a well known coach-proprietor, who has an office at the East and West ends of the town, are understood to be holders to a very large amount of the Bills alluded to. It is true tbat detec tion was exceedingly difficult, for if any doubt were ex pressed, as it was in one or two ireaaecee, the party offering the Bills requested they might be taken to the Exchequer—when Mr:Srnith himself was the officer to wham they would be submitted, and of course would have pronounced his own dates and numbers to he genuine. It is net true, as the Times states, that Lord Mont eagle was unable to decide on the authenticity of his own signature ; but it is true that one of the pa-ties whose duty it is to sign was astonished when the coun terfeit of his cwn autograph was shown to him. The discovery of the fraud was made through the courter foils— those portions of the Bids that are left, as in check books, after the check or bill has been issued—and these counterfoils upon examination at once detected the forgery. The salary of Mr. Smith was, we believe, 6001. a-yeer, which he had antici pated would have been advanced to 7001.; but his hopes being defeated by the economy that has been carried of late into all the public offices, he had re course to forgery as a temporary expedient ; and from a sum of 5001., has been led by those of whom it is believed he has been the dupe, to the enor mous amount of his forgery which we have above stated. Surely remuneration should be regulated not simply by the few hours of time required—which has too frequently been the Treasury standard of value— but the amount of trust reposed, and the extent of in tegrity required. We may, however, atlel that that a member of the foreign Stock Exchange might, it is supposed, give some material information upon the subject we have been speaking of. Mr. Smith was under examination at the Home-office yesterday for several hours, having been in the custody of Mr. Par tridge, the Superintendent of Police, during the pre vious night. Mr. Smith is the nephew of Sir Sidney, and his father, a most respectable clergyman, is living, at the age of 80. COURIER.—The same morning paper which has habitteily held up the whole landed interest and aristo cracy of Great Britain as no better then robbers and Murderers, without other exception than the half score erackbrained members of the order who herd with the Anti-Corn-law gan g , tr ea t s it s rea d ers this day with a temporary relaxation of its remorseless rigours, to the effect that—" We have no wish to hold up land. owners to public indignation. Would they remain contented with the great advantages which they pos sess in a country like this, without trenching on the rights of industry, we might think them fortunate in belonging to a country Nee this, but we should respect them as necessary to the well-being of the social edifice. Individuals having been vested by the State with the ownership of the land, they arc of course entitled to rent, regulated according to the principles whieli de termine its amount." There is something profoundly absurd in the talk about " individuals having been vested by the State with the ownership of the hod," if it is meant to be pretended that they are more favoured by the State in the possession and holding of landed property than is the proprietor of a power loom, of a cotton mill, or a modern haberdashery or gin palace. The paragraph would read to much better sense if thus paraphrased " We have no wish to held up loan-jobbers to public indignation. Would they remain contented with the great advantagus which they possess in a country like this, of being able to sell their worth less foreign bonds at enormou s premiums, incureing no risk or responsibility themselves, without trenching on the property and rights of industry, we might think them fortunate in belonging to a country like this, bat we should hardly respect them as necessary to the well being of the social edifice." If the State really does concede exclusive privileges to any class whatever, t er t3inly no class is so highly favoured es that which loans, not its own, but the money of the public, and is htild irreeponsible by law for the invalidity or worthlessness of tine security, although industry., represented by the trader, is held by law st;itt!y bound to give value for " value received" on a Dill of Exchange. INIONEY rdARKIT and CITY NEWS. F PAM THE iItORNIEO TAPERS OF YESTERDAY. I TIMES.—It is Understood to-day in the city that stiP piciun has at length been directed to a -Exchequer ihdtvi duai relati ve to t h e f raudulent issues of Bills; anti that the party connected with it has been taken into custody. He is said to hold a high station hi Oho of the Government offices, but at the pitsent state of the pro ceedings it would perhaps be scarcely right to mention his name, although it is pretty generally spokeli in the city ; moreover, it i 3 scarcely necessary, as it must of course transpire officially within a very short .period. Besides, it seems that the party apprehended is not the only offender, as, according to a nii confession which he is said to have mak, a great many other pertine are implicated its the transaction. The atfinttnt or the fraudulent i.Ssue is said to be as high as 150,0001, of 200,000/. according to the confession of the fart 's bills do not appear to have he strictly Speaking, a for- Jry, if we may trust the general report, according to which the signature of Lord Monteagle has been Mil tabled hi a surreptitious manner. At the e x* tII± the. practice which is suffered to hare *ihtnitl'ea in the office, of allowing different pet, -. .SOns 'Ativally to sign the name of Lord Monteagle, nlid by his authority, was extes sivel,Y end calculated to give great facilities to fora ern while great difficulties would be thrown In the way of detection. There is rather a 'Curious anecdote which is told in connection 'With the affair, and one which is singularly illustrative of the carelessness with which the business of the office has been conducted. During the present, investigation, one of the bills is said to have been shown to Lord Montca.gle, who observed that he ready could not tell whether the signature Way his s 3 oalure or not. The circumstances which have transpired to-day would seem to show that a great many of the rumours which were afloat on. the first discovery of an irregularity in the Exchequer Bill market, were totally false, and had their source in idle conjecture, or,.what is more probable, . in the endeavours of the parties really implicated to turn suspicion into wrong channels, So much, however, of the late rumours still appears to be true that the surrepti tious issues arc in some manner connected with the sales of Spanish Stock. Now the chief anxiety in the city is, admitting. the bills to. be forgeries (for the case will hardly arise if they have actually been signed by Lord Monteagle,) and also admitting the forgeries to ' have had a sort of Government currency, to know what degree of liability will attach to the Government itself to make good any sums tkat may have been lost by the transaction.

On this subject we have received the following communication from a source on which we have reason to re ly :—" The frauds 'cOrumitted in respect to Exche , .... • „ , • . •, . quer Bills have been committed through the agency of a person in the Exchequer Bill-office. Whether the dupli cate bills in circulation are forgeries, or whether the bills, having been regularly signed, have been fraudulently obtained, is yet uncertain, The bills, whether forged or fraudulently obtained, were applied to speculations in foreign funds, chiefly Spanish Stock. A gentleman, who held a confidential appointment in the Exchequer Bill office, has been committed to prison." In such a state of things as at present exists, business at the Stock Exchange is much neglected, and the same difficulty as heretofore experienced in respect to attempted operations in Exchequer Bills continues ; their market was to-day quite nominal at los. to 12s. premium. CHRONICLE.—The discovery of the triplicate num bers of Exchequer Bills has led to the apprehension •of a person holding a high situation in the Exchequer Bill office ; and it is reported that spurious bills have been ascertained to be in circulation to the amount of 200.02.0/. It is now the imperative duty of the Chancellor cif the Exchequer to sift the whole affair to the bottom, and to relieve the public mind as to the extent of the fraud. It is understood that the principal offender on this occasion has been carrying on the same system for upwards of two years certain ; and for how many years hefore that no one can tell, for the loose practice of allowing clerks to sign bills is one of very long continuance. It i 5 in vain for the organs of the monopolist Cabinet to endea vour to throw the Wame of it upon the Whigs, or to make out any ease for panegyric in favour of Hr. Coul burn, for his personal investigation of the present case. 'These securities were first issued in 1636, to supply the want of cash during the reeoinege which then took place ; and, considering the unprotected form in which they are made out, and the looseness of practice regard ing their issue, it is astonishing that no case of fraud has been discovered until the year 1841. It is quite possible that the brokers, who were the instruments of raising money on the spurious bills, were entirely igno rant of their fraudulent origin. When a principal states to a member of the Stock Exchange that he wishes to enter into a speculation in foreign stocks, and offers Exchequerßills as a security, it is nut customary for him to ask the party who aplies to him to explain how he came possessed of the security. The situation in life of the party and personal knowledge of his respectability are held sufficient on such occasions ; and we sincerely trust that such may prove to have been the case in the ques tion under consideration. The delinquent may have had no confederates, anal in so far as the transaction is con nected with the Stock Exchange, it is possible that none of the members had the least knowledge of anything improper being connected with the bills. The whole sill& must, however, be searched to the very bottom, as the market f o r Exchequer Bills is now at a stand still, and the price marked of 10s. to 12s. premium almost en tirely nominal. POST.—The confusing of the Exchequer Bill market continues, and whatever business is done in it must, for the present, be under guarantee. A number of rumours were once more in circulation relative to the alleged con spiracy, by which a state of things has been brought about so greatly to the detriment of the public service. It was said that two of the old police force, celebrated for their alacrity in the detection of crime and criminals, had been in the City in quest of suspected parties, and, in tact, that three individuals were taken into custody, one of them connected with this part of the town and the others with a public department. Of the latter two it was rumoured that one of them, who has been a con siderable time employed in an official capacity, was found to have put out, on his own account, probably for the purpose of covering his losses in the speculative Foreign funds, an enormous amount of Exchequer Bills. The sum spoken of was 200,0001. We cannot with safety or propriety give the name of the individual on whom suspicion is said to have fallen in this case, though it can scarcely be said to be any longer a secret in the moneyed circles. One of the principal brokers in possession of bills, lodged with him under questionable circumstances, is believed to have delivered up to the Chancellor of the Exchequer 50,0001. to be dealt with as Government shall think proper. A rigid inquiry into the facts touching this extraordinary business is now, from all accounts, in progress at the Home-office. An anitous hope prevails, therefore ' that the whole of the iniquity, with the authors of, a n d participators in it, may be speedily exposed. So extended has been the sy;item pursued by the parties, and this for a series of years, that the more considerable brokers have been totally unable to place the large masses of bills sent into them for the purpose of covering required advances; and hence the necessity of handing over portions to a secon dary grade. These, in turn, have given smaller amounts to those below themselves, or, in other words, the most inferior order of agents; so that a-great number of per sons who are familiar with the process of raising money in the City must have. been perfectly well aware that there was something exceedingly dark and mysterious in the background. Of the Committee of the Stock Ex change we have taken the liberty to say that nothing has been sufficient to awaken them from their habitual lethargy. We were, however, mistaken, as it appears that they have, in the present instance, come forward and most courageously tendered to Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Goulburn, and others engaged in the investigation going on at the west end of the town, the benefit of their valu able and disinterested assistance. Lord Monteagle, it is understood, has been likewise in attendance at the Trea sury chambers, fur the purpose of co operating in the pending inquiry, FlNRAlll.l.—reople are naturally led to imagine that the system of books and business must be extremely loose an the Exchequer Bill-office, when frauds and fal sifications, if such - they should be and there committed, are practicable without almost instant detection, and even withoilt detection for years. It is not unlikely that Considerable facilities for dishonesty were afforded by the change in the Exchequer Bill law, silently and without public notice introdneed by Mr. Spring Rice, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, to the effect of rendering bills no longer payable in for Customs or dues at any period before due, as before was the case, but payable, or rather receivable, only when actually due, a provision or permission clearly idle mid unnecessary. By . this new Systtni, therefore, no bills once issued Ottld Make their appearance again at the Exchequer Bill-office, until at the expiration of the twelve m on ths when taken in to be paid off or exchanged ; nor, in like manner, could any fraudulently issued bills be sooner taken lea and detected; Thus the person engaged in the A ce , if any there Were in {nese thaltirddtiCtki j Oita hi no danger, or only the very slightest, of detection, ex cepting once a year, when all the bills of the date of those falsely issued were brought in, or preparatory lists of them sent in, against elcliange or paying.afr day.

FINE FOR REFUSING AN OATII.—At Nor wi;:h City Sessions, which commenced on Tuesday before the Recorder, Isaac Jermy, Esq. , the Grand Jury were about being sworn, w h en M r . Macro, woollen-draper, London-street, presented a letter to the Court addressed to the Recorder. The Town Clerk read the letter, by which it appeared that Mr. Macro did not think it right to take the oath required by a Grand Juryman, and his objection was, that he read in the Bible, " Swear not at al?." " Above all things, swear not, but let your yea be yea, and nay nay ;" and that if he kissed the book con taining those sentences, his conscience would dictate that he was doing wrong. The Recorder told Mr. M 4 cro that he considered his scripture annotations totally misapplied; and ttiat'if he persisted in refusing to be sworn', he must be fined. Mr. Macro, however, would be neither convinced nor threatened into swearing ; he was consequently fined sa. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.. CASE OF BLAKESLEY. Shortly after fir. Arabin had taken his seat upon the Bench, at nine o'clock this morning, Robert Bhkefiliy was placed at the bar for the purpose of plead ing to an indictment, charginghim with the wilful murder of James Burden; a second indictment charged the pri soner with the murder on the Coroner's Inquest. The prisoner who is a remarkably fine-looking young man, seemed to pay great attention to the proceed ings. His demeanour was firm, but without the slightest appearance of levity, and he seemed per fectly aware of the awful situation in which he was placed. His personal appearance has improved greatly since he has been in custody. On being called on to plead he, in a firm voice, pleaded—Not Guilty. One of the Jurors applied to be excused from serving on. the trial of Blakesley, because he had been long in timately acqtiainted with the prisoner's family. Mr. Sergeant ARA.EIN said it was no:, probable that the prisoner would be tried to-day, but if he were the applicant should be excused. The prisoner was then removed. At ten o'clock Lord Abinger and Mr. Baron Gurney took their seats on the Bench, when Blakcsley was again placed at the bar. Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the prosecution in the case of Blakeslcy, said he understood that the prisoner was not at present prepared to go to trial. On behalf of the prosecution he had no objection to postponement ; and perhaps their Lordships would state the (by which they would fix for the trial. Lord ABINGEII—Let it stand for Friday. The prisoner was then removed. Joaeph Kemp and Philip Sampson were indicted for a highway robbery, attended with violence. The case, which presented no features of interest, was clearly proved against the prisoners, and in the course of the trial it came out that it was considered dangerous for a person residing in the neighbourhood of the place where the prisoners resided to give evidence against them. The Jury having found them both Guilty; Lord ABINGER, in passing sentence on them, said he considered the fact of its b,lng dangerous for a person to give evidence against them a great aggravation of their offence, and sentenced them to transportation for life. Charles Edward W ilson, 35, Win. Culaman, IS , Themes Beardsmore, 17, and Henry Pattick, 24, were indicted for feloniously stealing 15 sheep, the property of Daniel Maydwelf. _ - Mr. Doane conducted the . prosecution, and Messrs. Phillips, Chambers, Payne, and Espenasse, appeared for the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor was an extensive farmer, residing at Leatherheacl, and on the Bth Sept. he had a flock of 205 sheep at one of his farms; and on the following day 15 of them were missed. It was proved that the prisoners, Coleman, Wilson, and Beardsmore, were seen in the possession of the 15 sheep, which they placed to graze in a field at Ilford ; and one policeman swore that he also saw Puttick in company with the other prisoners, and it was proved that the prisoner Beardsmore was seen near the field in which the sheep had been placed by the prosecutor's servants, and that he was making inquiries about the manner in which the sheep were folded. It also appeared that while the prisoners were in custody at Ilford gaol, a letter came into the hands of the Governor, and the next day the prisoner Wilson told him he was very sorry that leiter"had been written, for that it would do him more harm than all the money he had spent would do him good. The prisoner Coleman also told him that . he had cut his finger, and that he wrote the letter in question with his blood. The letter was read, it was written in blood, and not addressed to any one, but commenced—" My dear fit thcr and mot/fee-and sister," and went on to request that three or four persons might be brought forward at the trial to swear that he (the writer) was at home on the night the sheep were stolen, and that this was the only thing that could be done for him to do him any good. The Learned Counsel having severally addressed.the Jury on behalf of their respective clients, with the ex ception of Mr. Espinasse, against whose client the Court expressed its opinion there was not sufficient evidence to call upon hini for his defence, Lord ABINGER summed up, and The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty' against Wilson, Beardsmore, and Coleman, and acquitted Puttick. The Jury recommended Beardsmore and Coleman to the mercy of the Court.. Lord ABINGER said that Beardsmore had been before convicted of felony, and it was necessary to pass a severe sentence. Beardmore and Wilson were then ordered to be transported for fifteen years, and Coleman was ordered to be imprisoned and kept.to hard labour for 12 months. There was another indictment against the prisoner Wilson for stealing eight sheep, but it was not pro ceeded with. Fanny Jackson was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Fanny Kemble, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutrix stated that she lived in St. Ann's Terrace, Waterloo-road, and that she was an " unfor tunate" woman. The prisoner lived in the same house with her, and on the day mentioned in the indictment, the prisoner abused her, and took a knife from a drawer, and made a stab at her face, and when she raised her arm to protect her face, the prisoner stabbed her in the arm with the knife, and she was taken to the hospital, where she remained for a month in consequence of the injury she received. Mary Taylor, the landlady of the house where the parties lived, prosved that the prisoner was telling her of a depredation that had been committed in her house by the prosecntrix, and the latter attempted to force her way into the room, and ultimately did so, and as saulted the • pri?oner several times; and the prisoner told her, if she struck her again, she would mark her ; and while 'the prosecutrix was in the het of striking her ain, she took up a knife that was lying upon tho table, and inflic:ed a wound on her arm :vith it. The prisoner, in her defence, said she was very sorry for what she had done. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of an assault. Mr. Baron GURNEY directed that the prisoner should be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar months. Joseph Kemp, aged 20, and Philip Sampson, aged 22, Were indicted for a robbery, with violence, upon George Noble. Messrs. Payne and Ballautyne appeared for the pH- . soners. The prosecutor was walking down West-street, Smithfield, on the night of the 4th July, when he was attacked by the prisoners and several other men, who pinioned his arms and forcibly took his watch from him . ; and one of the prisoners was seen to run away with it; and when they were afterwards taken into custody, and the policeman told them what the charge was against them, they did not make any reply, or in any way con tradict the statement made against them. The Jury found the prisoners guilty, and the Court, after commenting upon the aggravated character of the offence, sentenced the prisoners to be transported kir life. W COURT. RiNDNESg AND INGRATITUDE.—Mary Ann Sullivan, aged 18 ; was indicted for stealing one pair of boots, one veil, one reticule, and other articles, value 31., the pro perty of Thomas Harwood. Eleanor Harwood, the prosecutor's wife, stated that she was in company with her husband in Farringdon- Street, when the prisoner came up to them and said that she had been turned out of doors by her mistress, and that she should die if she was left in the streets all night: The witness spoke to her husband, and they took the prisoner home with them out of charity. This took place on a Friday, and the prisoner remained with them till the Monday following, on which day she said she was engaged for a new place. The ititness went out at about nine o'clock, and on her return she found that the pri soner was gone, and with her a great number of things, enumerated in the indictment. She gave information to the police, and some of the things were subst-cinently found with the prisoner. The witness had never knobl l the prisoner before—she was a perfect stranger to her. The officer who took the prisoner into custody de pOsed that he found her at No. 1, liing-street, Drury lane. Ile searched the:prisoner's box, and found the stolen property. The veil was upon her bonnet. The .Jury at once found the prisoner guilty, and The Comittog SERGEANT in sentencing the prisoner, slid he could hardly conceive a worse case of larceny fMrin that of the prisoner ; she met with a kind-hearted woman, who kept her for three days when she had no home, and in return she robbed her. Under these cir ttittietances he could not think of allowing her to remain in this country. The sentence was that she be trans ported for the term of seven years. Wit= Puttoch, aged 19, a respectable looking young man, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing 16 handkerchiefs value 505., the property of William Paddy and others, his masters. The prisoner was sentenced to six months' impri sonment. SURREY SESSIONS. Henry .Noble and Caroline Smith were indicted for stealing, on the 18th instant, a candlestick, a sheet, a )rattle, and various other articles, the property of Mary IfeweLoil. From the evidence It appnred that the male prisoner engaged lodgings in the &Me Of the prosecutor. He brought the female along with him, itresenting that ::he was his wife. They remained only six days, and on the landlatii entering the room she found it entirely stripped. Bhe gate information to the police, and the prisoners were taken into custody. The greater part of the property was found in the lodgings they had subse quently gone to. Mr. llonny addressed the Jury for the prisoners, and very ably endeavoured to shift all the responsibility to the shoulders of the male , prisoner, contending that if the female had any guilty Knowledge of the transaction she was acting under the coercion of the male, and therefore not guilty in law, rPha Jury, however, roturned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners 7 cad the Chairman sentenced them to six months' inaprisonme.". 4 : and baid hbour • , the one in the gaol at B r i x i ton •md the () In--- In thatat Guildford. • • POLICE INTELL 1 (3,ENCE, G UIL HAL L Joseph Parker, whose identity at the Old Bailey oti Tuesday, was so doubtful when he appeared at the bar on an indictment charging him with being a party in a conspiracy to defraud Messrs Tarn and Co, of Addle , - street, of goods to the amount of 5,000/., and who availed himself of his right to traverse, was brought before Mr. Alderman J. Wood. A solicitor who appeared on behalf . of the prisoner, rail he wa s not the person against whom the indictment had been found. lie was in a condition, if the case were post poned, to show thzt the prisoner's name was John Parker and not Joseph Parker. Mr. Alderman WOOD inquired of the solicitor for the prosecution if he were prepared to prove that the pri soner was the person named in the indictment.-11c an swered_in the affirmative. After some conversation between the Alterman anti the solicitor, • The ALDERMAN said he would commit the prisoner on the charge of conspiracy, but would accept bail, himself in rOOl., and two sureties in 2501. each. An intersting looking woman was charged With at trmpting. to commit suicide at Blackfriars-bridge, about eleven o'clock on Tuesday night. In reply to the Alderman, the prisoner said distress had driven her to distraction. She had five children at home, to whom she had not a morsel of bread to give, as her husband had been for a long time past without em ployment. The agony of mind caused by seeing :five young children crying through hunger, induced htr to attempt the rash act. The husband here stepped forward and said his name was Kecip. Some Tears since he had been publisher of the Sunday Times, and after leaving that paper acted as canvasser for various publishers and newspaper estab lishments, but being unsuccessful latterly he was reduced to thc,. lowest depths of misery and privation. The ALDERMAN, after admonishiug her on the conse quences of her conduct, ordered some present relief to be administered, and she was discharged. BOW-STRERT. - Pete• Brisnah, a respectable-looking man, was placed at the bar, before Mr. JARDINE, on a charge of having violently assaulted James Douglas, on Tuesday even -42:r, at the Black Lion public-house, Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane. The complainant, who it appeared gained his living by selling paper in the streets, stated, that on Tues day evening, at about nine o'clock, he went to the Black - Lion public-house, and called for a pint of half- and-half.. Ho o&red some paper for the payment of it ; upon which the prisoner, who had been; drinking in the• room, came forward, and, without any provoca tion, 'struck him a violent blow in the mouth, which knocked out two of his teeth. The complainant further stated, that the prisoner offered him ten shillings if he would not prosecute the charge. sir. JARDINE would recommend the complainant to take the ten shillings. Complainant—Ten shillings for two teeth— it is no payment. The prisoner stated that before he had struck the man lie had himself been struck, and the complainant had pulled him by the nose. - Samuel Evans, better known as young Dutch Sam, the owner of the Black Lion, said after the complainant had got the beer,. on his being asked for payment, he offered some paper, which the witness - refused to take. The prisoner then observed that the conduct of the com plainant was very unbecoming ; a dispute ensued, the complainant pulled the prisoner twice by the nose, and struck him three or four times. The prisoner inue diately struck the complainant, who pulled out two teeth after the bigw, but no blood followed. Other witnesses corroborated the evidence of this witness. Mr. JAP.DINE said, that, taking the circumstances of the case into his consideration, he should dismiss the charge, as he thought the prisoner was perfectly justified in acting as he had done; and the Magistrate afterwards gave a certificate to that effect. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, Charles Wilt:or, a young man of gentle manly appearance and manners, who described himself . as having been a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, was placed at the bar before Mr. Greenwood, for final examination, charged by Mr. Antonio Panizzi, keeper of the printed books at the British Museum, Great Rus sell-street, Bloomsbury• square, with having stolen seve ral books from the reading-room of the establishment, under the following circumstances. Mr. Bray, of the firm of Bray and Warren, solicitors, of Museum-street, Bloomsbury, attended on the part of the Trustees of the British Museum for the prosecution; and Mr. Flower, solicitor, of Hatton-garden, for the prisoner. Mr. Panizzi having been sworn, stated that the pri soner was in the habit of attending the reading-room at the British Museum, with a regular admission ticket ; and having reason to suspect that he was in the habit of purloining the books, witness set a person to watch his proceedings; and, on Saturday afternoon last, at a little after four o'clock, when the readers were about leaving the room, witness was called by one of the attendants, who informed him that - the prisoner was going away. Witness addressed him, and said he wished to speak with him, and requested him to accompany him into the library, saying that he, the prisoner, had re ceived three Standard Novels, and he had only re turned two of them, and he inquired where the other vo lume was. The prisoner replied that he did not know, but, perhaps, it had been left upon the table, and he made a movement towards the door to leave, when wit ness stood before him, and said " No, we must find the book first," and he, witness, sent one of the attend ants to look after it, and he returned, and said that he could not find it. The prisoner seemed astonished, and said, " I hope you do not suspect me?" Witness said it was very awkward that several other volumes had been missed. since .he had them. He denied all know ledge of them. Witness detained him, and sent for Sir Henry Ellis, the principal librarian, and also for a po liceman, and the prisoner again denied all knowledge of the books on the arrival of Sir Henry Ellis. Witness informed him the prisoner had had three volumes of " Carlisle'S Miscellany," and he had only returned two volumes. The prisoner again asked if they suspected him ? Witness replied, " Yes, it is of no use, you have got a book in your pocket now, and the policeman will find it there when he comes. The prisoner than expressed a wish to speak to Sir Henry Ellis and witness in private, which they declined, and he then put his hand into his pocket, and produced the volume of " Lionel Lincoln" which had been missing, and he gave the prisoner into - the custody of an officer. He valued the book at 3s. 6d., and said it was the property of the Trustees of the British Museum. Other charges of a similar • description were made against the prisoner, and he was committed to take his trial for the offence at the Central Criminal Court. WORSHIP-STREET'. Mrs. Eliza Le Coke, a well-dressed elderly person, who was stated to be a widow in independent circum stances, residing in Windmill-street, St. Luke's, was 'brought before Mr. Bingham, upon a charge of having assaulted Mr. Hamlin, the Relieving-officer of the parish. The complainant stated, that at about ten o'clock on that morning, a young woman, named Sarah Creed, called at the workhouse, and requested his immediate in terference on behalf of a married woman, named King, who she alleged had been treated with brutality by the defendant, with whom she lodged. She added that the young woman had been delivered on . the bare floor, the defendant Laving dragged her oat of bed whilst she was in the pains of labour ; after which, she (defendant) ac tually took away the bed to prevent her from lying down upon it. Upon hearing the statement, witness immedi ately proceeded to the defendaftt's house ; and on his applying for adDlittance, the defendant and her son appeared at the door,..the former of whom upon learn ing the object of his visit, abused him in gross terms, and endeavoured to prevent his entrance. He suc ceeded, however, is making his way into the apartment of the ill-used woman, whom he found sitting in a chair, with her newly-born babe in her lap, and over powered with distress and anguish. The room pre sented a most deplorable appearance, the bed and all its appurtenances having been removed, and nothing left but the bare sacking. 'Witness aßerward 3 went for a policeman, and on attempting to enter the house was assaulted by the prisoner. Ile afterwards repaired to the workhouse, and gave orders - that a bed and every thing necessary for the comfort and accommodation of the sick woman might be sent to her itnmediely, after which he returned and gave the defendant into cu.etotly. Mr. BINGHAM said that he was at a loss for language to characterise the unfeeling and inhuman conduct of ;the defendant, and if the death of her lodger ensued in con sequence of her ill-treatment, she would be liable to be tried at the Old Bailey for manslaughter. He was as tonished to find that there existed a woman and a mother, which it appeared the defendant was, who was capable of the barbarity of dragging from her .bed one of her own Dex, in her state of pain and peril, and of obliging her to unne:jo that dreadful trial of nature on the bare floor. He shouij for the present require her to find sub stantial buil to keel; the peace towards the Relieving officer. The defendant said that shei had no friends present to bail her, neither had she any to send for, and she was accordingly locked up. UNION-HALL. At Union-hall jesterday, William Steyoff, a young man, who was fully. committed. for trial on last Satur day fortnight for a robbery in the dwelling-house of Mr. Jones, of Herne-hill, was brought up in the custody of police constable 97 of the. B division, charged with having effected his escape from the lock-up place of the police court, Union Hall. Police-constable B 97 said, in the course of Tuesday he received information which induced him 1.0 go to- Duck-lane, Westminster, and in a room of No. 11 he found the prisoner in bed, and took him into custody. Upon .bringing the prisoner along he stated how he effected his escape, and just after he got out he was stopped by a constable, who asked what he l'acl under his arm ? He replied, "A dirty shirt," and was, in consequence, permitted to depart. The . prisoner was then fully committed. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Yesterday the police summoned before Mr. HARD.. WICK. a person named Castellano, the alleged proprietor of the Saloon in Leicester-square, for " knowingly per mitting prostitutes to meet and assemble at his house." Mr. Robinson attended for the defendant, and a Mr. Ashdown cattle forward as the representative of Castel lano, who was said to be out of England. Inspector &titer pro✓ed that on Friday morning, about two o'clock, he went to the Saloon in Leicester square, and found a number of well-dressed persons as sembled there, dancing to music. Some of the women he knew to be prostitutes. Mr. Robinson asked the inspector if it was his opi nion, f:em what be witnessed of the company and their conduct, that a stringer going into Cie room would ha ve taken the women to be loose characters? Inspector Biker said he saw no disorderly or improper conduct 'l*he rvas present. submitted that this declaration put an ^-- the defendant was charged with Mr. Rout— , mid id the case, nrostitutes to assemble. " the parti es t o b e knowingly permitteu , bl*Jot,gif a strang er would not " know expect prostitutes from their behaviour, it PaS barn . Ice the landlord of a house shod I be called upon to mom_ himself acquainted with the private cbaraeL: of his custom: M. HARDWICK said it would be iCle for a person to pretend not to know the sort of customers who fre quented his house. Ito bad yesterday given his opi nion on that point in the ease of the Piccaddly Saloon. He had agreed with the opinion expressed at the Mid dlesex Sessions in the case of the Worship - stre et Mags trates, that prostitutes Leing found in a house taking refreshment, and remaining there perhap s only a ew MORNING SUN minutes, during which time the landlo rd might be el 17Jy : tvhc e engaged, was not such a ease of " nowin! harl ouring " prostitutes as the law conemp!atc But where prostitutes ~ - ; cre found dancing to music, 1' a!, in this instance, the c,:Fc assumed a totally differel e( roplexion. Mr. Robinson contlnded there was no disorderir conduct proved. It v . 15 Mr. HARDWICK held a di ff erent epin ior. d i . an offence to suffer music and dancing w ithout eA ceace, and as the defendant had perm itted both, be ; unlicensed, that was quite sufficient to establish 11 charge of disordly conduct. Mr. Robinson er remarked that music and dancing t, wk place at the London Tavern and other great taver which were equally unlicensed, and yet no prosecutic O.* took place. r . Mr. HARDWICK was of opinkt - i that the Act of as to liament was specially intend :d to meet cases similar the one before the Court. He had decided that mere assembling of prostitutes in a house of public sort for the purpose of refreshment, wh ere Del" drunkenness nor disorderderly conduct w as exhiraito was not an offence against the law, but b e would PI I carry the principle one jot further. it Mr. Robinson said if the Magistrate would copse to dismiss the summons he would undertake that be( music and dancing should cease for the future. , to. Mr. HARDWICK could not consent to this al . „ r The defendant had been fined only a few d a y 3 b c a o ck ; or allowing drunkenness in his house, and it wa s furtl le necessary to put down the proceedingswh ich night / took place. The fine of 3/. and costs was then inflicted. - _ THE MARKETS.—YESTE RDAI. CORN EXCHANGE.
