OLD COURT. Henry Burgess, aged 15, was indicted for utter lag a forged cheque for 35/., with intent to defraud Sir Wm. Curtis and Co. Wlll.

On the Nth July last a cheque for 351. was presented by Henry Higgins, about four o'clock in the afternoon, Purporting to be drawn by —, payable to Mr. T. Henderson, or bearer.

Curtis and Co.'s bank with a piece of paper, w hich he gave to me, to give my name Shaw, and wished, d, what they gave t o me to him. I did as he and on being questioned, I told them the Prisoner had sent me; in consequence of the answers tha t I gav e th e - porter of the banking-house went• °tit and brought in the prisoner.

The porter of the banking-house deposed to his ° ailing the prisoner at the corner of Abchurch-lane, Wher e he was waitijig for Higgins. Th e constable who apprehended the prisoner ttated, that he heard the prisoner tell Mr. Gates, t he attorney for the prosecution, that the cheque Was given to him.by a person named Norris, who is ! er ensan to Messrs.

I cautioned him not to say 41.) , thing to criminate himself, and pointed out the co nsequence ; was sure the cheque now produced Ills the same as the prisoner said lie received from r Norris. , William B ran d , one of t h e C i ty Marshals—On tae 12th July the prisoner and Higgins were in my , n witody, on a c h arge of uttering a forged cheque; I neard th e prisoner say that he received the cheque from Mr. Norris. I i mmediately sent for Mr. Norris. I asked the prisoner if be was guilty of the charge !igainst him. He said no ; he had had the cheque I n his possession for several days, and that he came honestly by it. On searching him, I found three ether cheques in his . waistcoat pocket. Prisoner Said he received them from- a person named May. On Mr. Norris arriving at the Mansion-house, Mr. Gates asked him if he gave the prisoner the cheque. lie said, eertainly not ; neither was it the signature of either of the firm. Prisoner said nothing in con tradiction, but appeared much dejected. Cross-examined by Mr. BODKIN—When I ques tioned the prisoner, I did not tell him of the serious nature of the charge against him. Mr. Justice GAZELEE cautioned the witness against seestioning any prisoner who might in future be Placed in his custody. Mr. Benjamin Norris—l am foreman to Messrs. horradaile and Co. The cheque now produced is llot in the hand-writing of any one authorised to draw cheques for that house. I never saw it till hwas sent for to the Mansion-house. The prisoner ad .been in the employ of Messrs. Borradaile, and Was often sent to the banking-house with money. The cheque -book was kept in the counting-house. The Prisoner could at any time have access to it. Cross-examined by Mr. BoDKIN—I have been in the employ of Messrs. Borradaile 35 years. I never gave the cheque to the prisoner. Alfred May—l am in the employ of Messrs. borradaile. The prisoner was discharged from his situation in the house a few days before he was ap r°ehended. 1 gave h i m the three blank cheques n ett in his pocket. I asked him what lie was going 1 0 do with them He said nothing. 13 .7 Mr. BO DKIN —I never too k any ot h er c h eques emdes those I gave the prisoner. I knew I had done wrong, but did not tell Messrs. Borradailes, t hey were blank cheques—am quite certain that they Were_ not signed. fMr. G eorge Borradaile proved the cheque to be.a • °tory. No persons in their employ were authorised 0 Sign any cheque. Mr. BRODERICK here proposed to put in the ~eheques found on the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN objected to' this course, for although ley were signed they were not filled up, and con . 'equently could not be made the ground of any in dictment. Mr. BRODERICK only wished to have them read, for the purpose of showing the guilty knowledge of the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN had another objection ; it was ne cessary by the late Act of Parliament to produce all the partners in a house, in the habit of drawing Cheques, to prove that the signature was not in their h and-writing. Mr. Justice GAZELEE said the objections were of a novel character ; and as there was no case where Similar objections had been taken, he thought it Would be better to go on with the evidence, and he Would consider of them. . Henry Higgins, examined by Mr. BODKIN—I -, w et the prisoner by accident on th e 12 t h J u l y. I 'lid not know the nature of a cheque at the time I Presented the piece of paper at the banking-house. had no suspicion that I was doing wrong. The p r i soner ( a re markably mild-looking yout h ), 01 1 being called on for his defence, burst into tears, and appeared dreadfully agitated. He merely (Je llied his guilt. Mr. Justice GAZ ELBE summed up at very great ' c rigth. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. NEW COURT.

John Murray, a little hungry looking boy, about twelve years of age, was indicted for feloniously stealing on the 14th day of July last, two buns and eight biscuits, the property of George Goulding. The CHAIRMAN in passing sentence said, that it was a melancholy thing to see the crowd of children then in the dock. Here (continued his Worship) are nearly twenty children, all of them I fear be longing to organized gangs, in which every mem ber has his peculiar department.—The only effectual mode of putting down this system is to send every one of them who shall be convicted, out of the country for life. Whipping used to make some impression on them, but now they quite dis. regard it. However, I'll give this boy another chance—let him be confined for three months, and be twice well whipped. George Barrow, alias Thomas Hopkinson, the black man, whose exploits have recently been made public, through the police reports, was put to the bar, and arraigned upon three indictments. The prisoner pleaded Not guilty to all three. Mr. ADOLPHUS was retained for the prosecution, but in consequence of the absence of that learned gentleman, the Chairman consented that the trial should stand over for a short time. The prisoner seemed to be quite at home in the dock, and joked and laughed with his brothers and sisters in trouble. THR MARKETS (THIS DAY.) FISH-MARKET, LILLINGSG ATP.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE RESPECTING MR. T. P. COURTENAY'S STUDIEs.—The Right Hon. T. P. COURTENAY has already made such surprising progress in his arithmetical studies, that, by the close of the recess, it is supposed he will be neatly able to comprehend the calcu lations of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and find out a meaning in the statistic speeches of his Grace of WELLINGTON. The paragraph which has madesthe tour of the newspapers, respecting the distribution of the property of the late Archbishop of CANTERBURY, is incorrect in all its material.points. The SPEAKER, with the exception of some portraits, the coronation and other gold medals, de rives no immediate benefit under his father's will, but at the death of Mrs. SUTTON (the relict) he takes 50,0001. three per cent. Consols.— Globe. By mistake the account in our yesterday's paper of the dinner given to the Right Ilon. CHARLES GRANT, was mentioned as extracted from the " Inverness Journal," whereas it was from the " Inverness Courier" that we took it. A correspondent says—" Wit hn i a. . l , l mt l, 9l ef. different e changes that have taken place in th e u it seems extraordinary that the good is made taste m ir n l a n d chdictates diem has overlooked the difference which Cavalry and Infantry ; in the Cavalry all Officers between Two Epaulettes , while, in the In fantry , all under the l rank r of Majors wear but ON E . W hy one set of men are to march about lopsided is surely an oversight, which only needs mentioning to be rectified." The number of game certificates is said to have, this year, fallen off considerably in almost every county. The marriage of the young and only Princess of the House of ORANGE to the son of the extinguished King of SWEDEN, occupies every body's mind a t Amster dam. Th e K I NG is said to love his daughter with intense affection, and to have precipitated the affair rather more than prudence tvs found to ju:tify, so soon as he discovered that his daughter was eprise with the unknown traveller. She is to be largely (low) ied, and it was intended the (untitled) husband should make his abode at the Hague; but now it seems Vienna is to be his place of residence. No doubt he will be one of the political irons, which the great political cook, METTERNICH, always keeps in the fire to poke CHARLES JOHN with, in case of urgent need. Those who know the young lady speak of her as kind and amiable. THE COUNTRY BANKERS. (From the Times.) The country bankers, so far as the public have any intelligence of their movements, remain perfectly quiescent under the approach of the Act of Parlia mOnt which is to extinguish the small note circula tion, but we have reasons for believing that many of them are still not without hopes of averting the blow, and that their attention is strongly fixed on measures tending to produce that, to them, de sirable result. Among the suggestions that have been put forward with that object, is one, that all country bankers should, by general agreement, call in all mortgages or loans of any kind, made to Members of Parliament, and thus force, by the argument of self-interest, a majority of the House of Commons for the repeal of the Small Note Bill. Another project has for its direct aim the embar rassment of the Bank of England (in the hope, pro bably, of acting through this medium on the fears of the Government itself), by discarding its notes wholly from circulation in particular districts, sup plying their place with sovereigns, and promissory notes of small amounts issued by themselves. To effect this, however, it will be requisite to enter into compositions for their stamps, which by a late Act of Parliament bankers are permitted to do, on bills not having more than twenty-one days to run, and the duty under such composition will not amount to more than 7s. per cent. per annum; consequently the merest trifle on a bill which is payable on de mand. The mode in which such bills arc to be made to supply, combined with gold, the place of a small note circulation, and create embarrassment into the bargain in the Bank of England, requires some explanation to be understood. It is assumed that the customers of such banks, who had a money operation to make, for which gold would afford an inconvenient medium, which is a very common case, would be willing to accept such bills instead of Bank of England notes, which being made payable in London would be very useful as remittances. If presented immediately for payment, the stamp duty, under the composition, would not be an object of the slightest importance. If they changed hands as country notes now do, the same benefit would fol low to the house issuing them. This is to be coupled, it seems, with a sort of mutual agreement among country bankers, to receive all bills of this description as money, and carry them to account in the same manner. Some private banks, it seems, where a very clean circulation is desired, have already issued notes under the composition act; but this quite a distinct motive from that above described, which is supposed to have for its aim a secret attack on the circulation of Bank of England notes, and the design is as yet, probably, no where in active operation. It appears to be expected that some of the coun try bankers who became proprietors of Bank Stock last year, when the nature of the attack on them by the branch banks was deVeloped, and whu are now qualified, will take an active part in the proceedings of the general court which is to take place on Thurs. day next. The body of country bankers, however, seems to be feebly held together, and not likely therefore to combine in any decided measure for the protection of their general interests. HAYMARKET THEATRE. A trite piece of stupidity, under the title of Valerie, was brought out last night for the first time at this theatre. It is, we understand, an adaptation from the French stage, and is well worthy " the tinsel," so SHERIDAN aptly phrased it, of that school of sentiment. The plot is shortly to this effect :—A Lord Althorn is attached to a blind girl named Valeria, and in his anxiety to effect the restor ation of her sight, connects himself awhile with an oculist, who, after the usual preliminaries, consents to try his skill upon the afflicted young lady. Luckily his exertions are crowned with success; Valeria recovers her sight; the Doctor is rewarded, and my Lord Melsoni married. hi addition to this, there is a sort of underplot ; as also a law suit, dull enough to be a Chancery one, but which nevertheless is meant to be facetious. We should have scarcely thought it worth while to notice this nonsense, were it not for that very interesting and intelligent young actress, Miss F. H. KELLY, who, as Valeria the blind girl, threw a sentiment and character into her part, of which the author never could have supposed it capable. She was, however, badly supported by the pompous monotony of her lover, Mr. COOPER'S Lord Melsoin. If a drumstick could make love, it would copy this gentleman. Mr. VINING was respectable as a youth . yclept Milner; Mrs. HUMaY, arch and easy as the Countess de Bloonyield. Throughout the performance of the piece, Mr. Monrus kept vigor ously applauding it at the side-wings, from which we conclude that he is the author. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

FORTY SOVEREIGNS Yesterday afternoon a numerous assemblage, among whom were many of the most distingui►hed Noblemen and Gentlemen admirers of aquatics, congregated at Westmin ster, in cutters and boats of every description, to witness the great contest between Cobb, of Putney, and Goatley, of the Temple, for the above sum, from Westminster Bridge to Putney. At five o'clock Cobb pulled up to the bridge in the Swallow, a wager-boat built for Maynard, followed by Goatley in the- Shark. In about twenty minutes the men started, the betting being 3 to 2 in favour of Cobb. The start was exceedingly fine, they being alongside of each other for a short distance, when Goatley went a-head, but op arriving opposite Lambeth Cobb came up to him, and it was scull and scull to the Penitentiary. Cobh then went a-head about half a boat's length, but before their arrival at Vauxhall a skiff so fouled Goatley that he was nearly capsized, his boat being above half filled with water. Cries of " Foul, foul !" were vociferated from all parts of the river, and Goatley was taken into a cutter. The match consequently remains undecided. The man who fouled Goatley got unmercifully beaten, amidst cries of " Throw him overboard," &c. &e. NESS. The Honourable Mr. St. John, - Gell, Esq. - Welmot, Esq.

In one stage of the experiments a sudden irruption of water gave a somewhat romantic interest to the inquiry. —pla Paper. n:oath SPIRIT of the PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (pawl THE DUBLIN FREEMAN'S JOURNAL OF SATURDAY.) The Catholic mind of Ireland is unquestionably wrought up to art . -assurance, that the first national act of Legislature will be emancipation'. The speech of Mr. Dawson, and the daily speeches of Lord Anglesea, tend to preserve this hope, unembittered with the most trivial alloy of suspicion, that the case will be otherwise. This repose of the Irish mind is the fruit of any thing but complex reasoning. The Viceroy's advices, always recommendatory of chris. tian fellowship and amnesty of religious feuds and distinction, are naturally enough regarded - by the I p v e h o e p n l c e e a Lo t h r d e r A e e g c i e t io ns seal s o o c f om p m i o s i i s on n t s ho de s r e i the settlement of the Catholic question be not seriously entertained by the Cabinet, it would be an act of policy on the part of the Cabinet to give a hint to Lord Anglesea to alter his tone. At all events, we are certain that so far as there is question of individual sincerity, his Lordship is sincere. FROM THE GLASGOW FREE PRESS OF SATURDAY.) RUSSIAN WAR.—The Russians have yet pene trated no farther than they formerly did in their last war with Turkey. They have captured only a few of the fortresses once before masked or, occupied by them. They have neither met with nor overthrown a regular Turkish army, the enemy having prudently retreated before them from the open country, and concentrated his forces along the range of the Balkan, where the serious part of the struggle in reality is yet to commence. That the Turks hare acted with, great skill and sagacious foresight, in thus rendering a desert, before the Russians, of the open country stretching from Mount thernus to the Danube, is clearly proved by the late tardy progress of the Russians, owing to the difficulty of precuringsupplies, and also by the reluctantly acknowledged fact, that the cattle employed in conveying their provisions and baggage, are destroyed in great numbers by the in tolerable heat of the climate, the titter aridity of the soil, and the consequent scarcity of fodder and water. The Right Hon. J. FOSTER has left town fo is residence in Dorsetshire.

IMPROVEMENTS IN COVENT GARDEN MaRKET.—The bustle of the present season being nearly terminated in Covent Garden market, a boarding has been erected, which encloses the whole of the northern side, and yesterday a number of workmen were employed in pulling down the whole range of shops on that side, pre- ' vious to the building of the new market, which is to be commenced forthwith. A few days since, a number of the poor Catholic pariThioners of Islandeady, near the town of Castlebar; came forward unsolicited, and cut down the en tire crap, to the extent of ten or twelve acres, belonging to the Rev. Mr. HART, the Protestant Rector of that Union. —Dublin Evening Post. A leap, unparalleled we believe in the annals of horse history, has lately been accomplished in this neigh bourhood. On Friday last, as Mt. BROWN, of Nuneaton Colliery, was returning, in a gig, from Coventry, about seven o'clock in the evening, his horse took fright, and running away, leaped at Cotton toll-gate, which is about seven feet high, when, singular to relate, the animal fully cleared the gate, and bringing the gig after him, and in contact with the upper bars of the gate, which were broken, the gig, with two persons in it, passed over un damaged ! Mr. BROWN and another gentleman were in the vehicle at the time, and though flung uut with great violence, also escaped from any serious injury.—Coventry Observer. STEAM COACHES.—Messrs. JAMES and GEORGE NAYSMITH have been trying their steam coach daily for a week past, on the road from Leith to the Ferry. They have kept it running in general fur an hour and a half without a halt, and at the rate of about six miles an hour. We mentioned before, that, in making it, they looked upon it merely as an experimental machine, which would serve to give them more precise ideas of the power necessary, and the most advantageous arrangements of the parts. The result is, we understand, that they have got much new light upon the subject, and they have increased confidence—we should rather say, entire confidence—in the practicability of this species of conveyance. One point of great consequence they consider as settled, by their ex perience during the past week—that the steam coach, pro perly constructed, will not alarm the horsee which it meets en the road. They have passed great numbers of coaches, carts, and saddle-horses, and though the engine was not masked lay a coach body, as it will be in the finished vehicle, the horses have rarely shown any restiveness.— We should be well pleased now to see them employed by some enterprising individual, to build a steam coach, com plete in all its parts, to ply on some of our roads.— Scotsman. SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. Our city article teems with projected machina tions of the country bankers for the support of what they call " credit," but in fact for securing /to themselves a continuance of that system whi c h made them joint issuers of money with the King, and arbiters without appeal of the amount of bread and beef which every man in England . should have the memo of purchasing.

The system depredations, comes from that .o f men i n busi em ness buying and selling wholesale. on that kind of credit, and to that extent, both of which have been encouraged amongst Diglishmen, by the long prevalence of an irresponsible paper coin age. The whole world has been taught to live " promise-crannied :" not only new enterprises in trade, with new firms, large orders, long-winded bills, loaded warehouses, bulky failures, paltry dividends, with all the et cetera of factitious bustle, were the fruits of that monstrous expe dient—the substituting hazard for capital, and audacity for prudence in the affairs of com merce ; but in the economy of private families, the entire scale of expense of every week ' rose and spread itself into-- the nature of a specula tion. The small farmer of 1815 outdid the squire of 1790. Instead of "saving money like their fathers to provide against accidents, modern men saw in chance a shield, not a danger, and trusted that the recklessness of the passing hour would be retrieved by some future miracle.-- Of this condition of things we are now, every one of us, enduring the evil effects. The out cry for a accommodation" to trade is raised again, when trade has not yet recovered the ill consequence of being over-accommodated, and indefatigably and pertinaciously forced.— _ . . . The advocates of the bankers are striving to persuade us that it is we who want o b att _their paper promises, as being so much . . better for us than gold sovereigns ; and that it is not they who want to put ?f their OWII promises, in return for which w•e must pay them either gold coin or the value of it, the Irader in his merchandise, the landholder in his acres.— No, we must believe that it is all for our sakes, for the good of the public, truly, that the small bank note bill is to be repealed, and not for that of the parties who make four or five per cent. profit of that frail currency by which the King's coin is to be superseded. We are in hopes that if the Minister has not taken so wide a view of this subject as might give u s some p l e d ge o f hi s adherence to principles, he will, n ever th e l ess , have so much regard to his own declarations, as to afford us whatever benefit may result from the firmness and consistency which are claimed for him by his friends. With respect to the anti cipated measures of the bankers for forcing their noxious paper upon society, there are some which we - laugh at, - and others which we do not quite comprehend. It is said that they are to bully the House of Commons, by calling in all the sums they have advanced on bond or mart gage to its members. In tha present state of the money-market this scheme appears quite ludi crous. The bankers are not a race of men who would lend their money to Members - 9f Parlia ment without something more than personal se curity ; and 'will' the excess of capital now un employed, it is probable that a difficulty would occur in raising money on an assignment of good security to pay off the loans, the discharge of which the bankers threaten to require. The spirit of such an experiment is, we supposci, borrowed from certain Irish landlords, whose practice has been to keep the arrear of rent in terrorenz over the heads of the 40s. fieeholders ; but we do not think the example one of a very encouraging nature. The debtors in both cases are too numerous a body, and too well protected to be at the mercy of their creditors—they may safely defy them to the field. For the second part of the paper plot, viz. that which meditates the overthrow of the Bank of England through the expulsion of its n o tes, we cannot say that it seems the most intelligible in its operation. But this is a species of cannibal contest at which the public may venture to look with composure ; for whether the great shark devours the little ones, or the latter worry him to death, the people may have not much cause to trouble themselves about the etholics Duke iunf ‘pvaerltliii7gdtaurn,, _______ either issue.—Times.
