By the Constitution of the Lon don, Edinburgh, and Dublin Company, the Mutual Class of the assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as if they had been assured in a purely Mutual Society, and they have also the security of the funds of the Company supplied by the Shareholders, who, guarantee by the subscribed Capital, the payment of the sums assured—the assured themselves being re lievei from all responsibility, and thus placed in the right of the advantages afforded both by Mutual Societies and Proprie tary Companies.

Important improvements have been introduced into Life As surance practice by this Company, whereby the mode of ob taining Policies is simplified, all doubts as to their validity are removed, and their application is much extended. The Policies are Indefeasible and Indisputable, unless they have been fraudulently obtained. They at once create for the assured an unquestionable right in reversion, easily negotiable, and valuable as a collateral security in pecuniary transactions. One-half of the Premiums may remain unpaid for Seven Years, affording a greater facility and more economical plan for loan transactions and family provisions than any other which has been suggested, allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured at a future pe. riod,- when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a new assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid premiums.

Provisions for Old Age may be made by the purchase of an annuity to commence at any defined age, or by effecting a Life Assurance according to the following Table, whereby the sum assured is made payable to the Assured himself on his attaining 60 years of age, and in the event of his death before that time, it is payable to his heirs or assigns.

INIPORTANT.—Many Persons after learning that so many wonderful Cures have been effected by PARR'S LIFE PIL LS, have a g reat deiire to p rocure the Medicine which has done so much good. In dying this, how ever, caution must be obierved, as certain individuals, without honour or honesty, are offering a dangerous substitute instead of the genuine Medicine. , The Proprietors cannot, of course, be accountable for any untoward results that may ensue to those who have been thus imposed upon, but they can point out a effectual means to prevent further imposition.

Illustrated with Cases, &c. By C. J. LUCAS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, London. Published by the Authors ; and sold by Brittain, 11, Pater noster-row ; Effingham Wilson, 18, Bishopsgate-street ; Field, 65, Quadrant, Regent-street • Burgess, 28, Coventry-street, Haymarket ; Huett, 141, High Holborn ; and by all 13ooksel lers in the United Kingdom. The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the reutine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities. If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience. The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body. Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the . world will f orm it s own op i n i on , an d will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe genera lly, y e t very strangely, neglected by t h e medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedne , s to a de e ply i mportant b ranc h o f stu(ly.l'htonhrreaofo, , ,ng, yet is ee this bookcohrrightly moral, and it abounds in well-written, displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensual ism. No human being can be the worse for its per usal ; to mu ltitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to. reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind lent; and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organisation. she security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad dressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent. useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, wo with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in prsof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the . public on such a subj e ct whi c h can lay claim to the character of being strictly p ro f ess i ona l, a t the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of m a l a di es , th e never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strssngly recommend the work . .—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, h owever , been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and made us ex • now feel no hesita • Con in saying that we ariso from its perusal i ns t ruc t e d a nd edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, suPli as exposure to cold, sudden v i c i ss i tu d es of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination a do not thi n k we go too far s producing so useful, so much w anted , so valuable, and so truly ainny saying other class that of society flee itaio deeplyns.

BRIDGNORTH, DEC. 3.—The following address to Lord Palmerston, while on a short visit at Lord Leveson's, in this neighbourhood, was presented to his Lordship by J. Milman Coley, Esq., on the part of the inhabitants of that town To the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Palmerston, G.C.B' , her Majesty's late Principal Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. " We, the Mayor and Town Council of the ancient and loyal borough of Bridgnorth, deeply deploring the pre sent change in the Administration, which we fear will fail to answer the expectations of a numerous and influential party, by whom the present Ministers have been forced into office in consequence of a late vote in the House of Commons, take the opportunity of your Lordship being in the neighbourhood, most gratefully acknowledge our ob ligations to your Lordship and your late colleagues for your strenuous efforts in support of civil and religious liberty, and for your late arduous but unsuccessful at tempt to extend the commerce and improve the resources of this nation by measures, which if carried into effect, would have laid the foundation for commercial freedom, and brought into operation these elements of wealth, prosperity, and happiness, which are at present op pressed by , monopoly, and by statutes at variance with the principles on which the commercial operations of an intelligent, wealthy, and powerful kingdom ought to be based. We confidently hope that the time may speedily arrive, when it may please her Gracious Ma jesty to restore to your Lordship and your late colleagues that power which we feel satisfied will ever in your hands be exercised for the benefit of the community, and for the promotion of the honour and safety oc the nation. We cannot conclude this hasty expression of our sentiments without assuring your Lordship of our unabated respect and confidence in your wise, en lightened, and patriotic conduct, and offering our best but feeble support, should an opportunity recur, to any measures of reform in the trade, commerce, and institu tions of this great nation, which; in your wisdom, you may hereafter have occasion to propose ; and, should it not be your lot to enjoy a return to the administration of public affairs, we shall always consider your Lordship and your late colleagues entitled to our best thanks, and to the merit of any measure of reform in the income and expenditure of the country, and in the relaxation of any monopoly which the expediency of the present Cabinet may force them to adopt. " JAMES MILMAN COLEY, Mayor. "Bridgnorth, Nov. 24, 1841. The following is Lord Palmerston's reply : Aldenham, Nov. 25, 1841. " SIR—I have received with extreme gratification the oariess which you, and the gentleman who accompanied you, did me the honour to present to me this morning, and I beg, for myself and for my late colleagues, to thank you and the Town-council of Bridgnorth very sin cerely for this flattering expression of your approbation and confidence. "It has always been the study of the late Government to carry into practical application those principles of civil and religious liberty which are founded upon natural jus tice, and which are eminently conducive to the happiness and well-being of mankind, and we trust that our endea vours in thisrespect have not been fruitless. We attempted to apply to the commercial legislation of the country those principles of trade, the soundness and truth of which have long been demonstrated in reasoning, and which all enlightened men have for many years acknow ledged as the only foundation for the permanent prospe rity of nations. But a combination of monopolists pre vailed, and private interests triumphed over public goed. o The victory so achieved will , however, be short-liv Reason will, in the end, prove stron g er than prejudice, and the great interests of the community must finally overrule the resistance of the few. Even the monopolists will find that they delude themselves as to that advan tages which they fancy they derive from the present system of commercial restriction; for no class of men can build up permanent prosper it y for themselves upon a system which is ruinous to t he nation of which they form a part. " I am glad to find that the Town-council of Bridgnorth keep steadily in view those great principles of commerce, in contending for which the late Ministry was over thrown ; and, I trust, that by the united efforts of the enlightened portion of the nation, those principles may, at no distant period, become triumphant ; and that no administration or Parliament will long be able to main tain in force a system of commercial legislation, which has long bee* exploded in theory, and which has been found deeply injurious in practice.—l have the h onour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " PALMERSTON'. M. Coley, Esq., Mayor of Bridgnorth."

S ome y oung l a d s were Oldham's mill , er vi-aged in play, and dabbling with their naked feet in the waters overflowing the banks of the Leam, when one of the juvenile party was seized by the foot by a pike of about Albs. weight, and such was the tenacity with which thi s tyrant of, the watery element kept its hold, that it was with no little difficulty the boy succeeded in shaking it off, which hating at length accomplished, he carried it to the domicile of his parents, where it formed part of the' 'family ' meal a few hours afterwards.—Leamingio n Courier. ' SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE. —The position in his Lordship's letter which has roused the ire of the Times, is, that if the people of England be but united, the question -of free-trade will eventually triumph ; in fact, that the downfal of monarchy is at hand; that prohibitory duties will share the fate of reli gious disqualifications, negro slavery, and other works of darkness. His Lordship proceeded to illustrate and strengthen the opinion expressed in the encouragingform of'assurance to the Plymouth addressers, by a reference t o f acts with which they, and all, are well acquainted :—" The men " (Wellington and Peel) a who surrendered what they deemed the external bulwarks of the Church and the Constitution to the menaces of the Ro man Catholic Association of Ireland, will be sure to yield the fortress of commercial restriction when they shall be summoned to do so by the peaceful but 'powerful voice of the people of England and Scotland." Now what is there in this either false or foolish ? Did not pub lic opinion compel the Duke of Welling ton and Sir Robert Peel to abandon their antagonistical position to repeal the laws which imposed religious restrictions on Ro man Catholics and other classes of Dis senters from the National Church? What does the Times find in this part of his Lordship's letter to assail with either ridicule or reasoning? Was Catholic Emancipation the. fruit of con viction in those statesmen of injustice to the Roman Catholics, too long excluded from the privileges and immunities of freemen -by the penal laws in force against them, or was it wrested from their fears? in other words, was Catholic Emancipation a sacrifice toexpediencyi.or a spon taneous emanation of political justice? If of the thriller, it was public opinion which strengthened the demands of the claimants, without which they would have still urged their demands in vain; if of the latter, th e Duke and Sir Robert Peel would not have ventured to introduce the measure. In either case, public opinion, which the Times with more boldness than honesty ven tures to despise, effected that great national mea sure. The same may be said of the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, which excluded Pro testant Dissenters from municipal and otherposts on account of their relious opinions. The slave trade, and atlength slavery in the British Colonies, fell before the same resistless energy. When the abolition of those inhuman practices was first proposed in Parliament, the project was regarded as chimerical, and its advocates were scouted as fools and madmen. Let any one compare the commencement of those struggles which finally issued in triumph, to which Lord J. Russell al luded as ministering hope to the advocates of free trade principles, the fewness of the numbers and, 1 with few exceptions, the destitution of rank and. influence among those who identified them , selves - with their cause, with the host of doors ready to pour in their petitions into both Houses of the Legislature so soon as Parliament shall assemble, urging the adoption of . those principles upon the Legislature ; thus giiiing, real power to the more than 260 advocates or r free-trade within the walls of the House of Commons, ready by their speeches and votes to enforce upon the Legislature the claims of the people. And then let the Times rail, and the Tories snarl, at the statesman who has predicted that Sir Robert Peel must either yield to, or fall before, public opinion, thus combined to demand a repeal of the prohibitory duties upon corn, and other ar ticles of general consumption. The foundation on which Lord John Russell rests his predictions of a final and early triumph of the cause on which lie and his colleagues staked their existence as a Government, and which with them sustained a "temporary defeat by the combination of those classes which imagine their interests are bound up with monopoly—that foundation remains un shaken. Neither fraud nor force can prevail to overthrow it. Lord John Russell's reputation and reasoning are equally beyond the reach of those who would gladly diminish the influence of both. STANDARD.—When Sir Robert Peel was driven from office by "the appropriation clause" iliousands of addresses, bearing more than one million ! of signatures, presented within a week, or at most within a fortnight, of the announcement of the Right Ho nourable Baronet's resignation. These ad: : dresses, so . prompt, so numerous, and so nu merously signed, came from all classes and descriptions of the people, without any other distinction than that the addressers were all intelligent and all respectable. The Whig- Radical Cabinet has now been three months expecting and canvassing the condolence of the people ; and with what result ? Just two ad dresses : one from certain persons (who call them selves a meeting) at Plymouth, directed to Lord J. Russell; the second, which appears for the first time this morning in the columns of the Morning Chronicle, is from the town council of Bridg north, and addressed to Lord Palmerston—sug gested, too, as, is confessed, by the fact that the Noble Lord happened to be in the neighbour hood. As to Lord Melbourne, Lord Normanby, and the rest, they . are as wholly forgotten as if they never had been born, or never made any more serious claims upon public notice than " Whistle for it" and " Matilda." The neglected Ministers have, however, this consolation, that if they have had no addresses to parade, they have escaped the necessity of showing them selves in answers. How much reason Lord John Russell has to complain of such a forced exhi bition, the public has already seen ; and the self exposure extracted from Lord Palmerston can be scarcely less afflicting. COURIER.—There is but little, as all who read it will readily admit, in Lord J. Russell's curt reply to the Plymouth deputation, either to invite or justify a second notice of its meagre contents; yet the peculiarly artful assumptions, adopted evidently with the view of impressing the public mind with erroneous notions and inferences as to the cause, or combi nation of causes, that has placed " a new Ministry in power" (the words are well chosen , for the late Ministry, though in place, .was not in power); ae and the vivid eagerness with which these lo, and leave been grasped at and expanded in to n, laboured tirades against the principles, r p e ol d it e ic r a al and fiscal, of the present Government, render recurrence to the subject a matter of duty, how a unpleasant soever it may be . state, that the direct and sole We pnimposy at once e of that cunningly contrived document wa g; to convey an impression that the Whig Government had endured martyrdom lu , Llic t;aua c ve Aec trade, and that to its devotedness to _th . at principle was solely ascribable its downfal in July_ last. " We have (boldly vaunts the ex-Colonial Secre tary) ruined ourselves in endeavouring (i to relieve the country; consider and . admire (he virtually adds) the fervency of that patriotism, and the emi nence of that di si nterestedness which prompt e d hosen Ministers, to peril, nay, us, her Majesty's c. of our own free-will and accord to sacrifice, our . places, our salaries, our consistency,ourall e , isn, thetlie g l or i o us cause of fiscal reform." Now, to c hallenging of the nation's gratitude and confi dence on the grounds here specified appears the v ery heightof daring effrontery. The Whig Cabi net had been known by friends and foes to be in a ricketty, declining condition, tong anterior to its _final . annihilation. The cause which operated to weaken its strength, and da mage • its character in and out of Parliament it is not .necessary for us either to examine or spe cify. It is sufficient for the purpose of our present argument; to knowthat immediately preceding the session oflB4l, the belief was generally entertained that the Ministry would find it impossible, even as the House of Commons was then constituted, to struggle through half time session; that belief was strengthened into conviction by the simultaneous_ and significant defeats their party sustained at the various isolated elections which immediate fol lowedCrious- the meeting of Parliament. The s co a n ‘ s var a ness that " we cannot be worse off," is always I great temptation in the way of-the weak and the the evil prompters selfish. It induced the Whig Ministry to in cline a favourable ear to adventure the course of the " league," and ttocaused, its ruin. Thus which precipitated, We have ll so thrasonically boasts, seen that s u the " endeavours" of which Lord John R t c i o l u ey nt p ry ro , c b e u e t de to d, r n o o p t were not made to relieve up the Ministry ; n e n tram country of any por- F e th ti a l t e front an anxiety to or of any of its restric tion of its burdens,iy and solely from a desire to pro tions, but simply long or renew the tenure of their own official existence. ..„............ __,„„„,.._...... MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES. —The public are generally much dis appointed at the abrupt termination of Mr. E. B. Smith's trial. They had long anticipated this clay as One on which important facts would transpire which might serve to guide thei o r e. rations, but now they And the chance of that information they felt they had a right to obtain suddenly taken from them, and the whole affair as much enveloped in mystery as on the day when Mr. E. B. Smith was trst 'taken into cus tody. As to the position of the holders of Ex chequer bills, various opinions are entertained. Some think that the evidence which would have been brouht forward, had the p r i soner pleaded " Not Guilty," would have been of great service to them in establishing their claim, and that the absence of this is there fore a positiVe loss. Others attach great import ance to the- addiesi of the Judge, in which he speaks of the ruin of individuals, as if expres sions of that sort were conclusive proofs against the holders. This reference to the address is, however, particalarly weak, and nothing but the natural timidity accompanying an uncertain po sition can account for the assumption that a speech on the bench was in any way tantamount to an official declaration of the Government. It is even too much to assume the phrases in ques tion as expressive of the Judge's opinion , _ as it was only the magnitude of the crime that he was pointing out, and he was not called on to give an opinion as to the position of the holders. It should be observed, that by Mr. E. B. Smith's pleading guilty to all the matters con tained in the it dictment, the whole proceeding is made to emanate from an officer of the Govern ment; that forgeries out of doors, and by parties unconnected with the Treasury, can no longer be cited as a defence, but that the hills originate with the office itself. Again it may be repeated, that no negligence or culpability can be laid to the charge of the majority of the pre_ eat holders— that they exercised every caution that the nature of the instrument permitted—and that no doubt is thrown on any of the authenticating marks of the bills except the signature. Whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the si tuation of the holders, -it is generally agreed that the credit of the Exchequer market will be compromised materially if they are not indem nified. The loss of thousands of pounds, fol lowed by a trial at which no information was con veyed, and no furthet compensation afforded to the sufferers but the punishment of an officer of Governnent,..:could not be - forgotten, and the readineSs tit - transfer and the general conveniences of an Exchequer bill would be gone, perhaps for ever. Hence, from the present aspect of affairs, there is every reason to hope that the innocent holders will not sustain a loss. It is yet possible that the investigation may not have come to an end. It is understood that the Bank clerks who were subpoenaed have been ordered to be in readiness on Monday, though for what purpose has not yet transpired. This being the 4th of the month, and the sth falling on Sunday, it was a most important day for the holders of commercial paper. The amount of bills due was so great, and they have with very few exceptions been so well met, that the good state of credit is not only a cause of satis faction, but also of surprise. CHRONICLE.—The important " disclosures" alluded to openly in Court by the lawyers pre vious to the committal of Rapallo for trial are, it seems, to be " hushed up," and the ends of justice defeated. The very last time that the matter was publicly discussed, the legal advisers employed on both sides specially alluded to im portant disclosures that bad entirely changed the aspect of affairs, and the Counsel for Rapallo, who formerly grumbled at the mere motion for remanding his client, confessed that " important circumstances which had transpired elsewhere" made it necessary to clear his character before a jury. The public mind was thus impressed with the belief that the confederates of Smith had become known to the Crown lawyers, and that the whole ramifications of the con spiracy would be laid bare to the very root. Such being the fact, strong suspicions are now necessarily entertained that there has been a bargain between Smith and the law officers of the Crown ; that the whole affair of the trial was a mere sham fight, a regular" cross," as such things are technically termed in the phraseology of the ring; and that the sentence of transporta tion fbr life will be commuted or never enforced. It is, certainly, most unlikely that Smith would. have pleaded guilty to the main charge of forgery unless he had seen his way to some advantage by so doing. His legal advisers, indeed, would not have allowed such a course, unless they saw that their client would be a gainer by it. According to the paper read by him at the bar, it would appear that there are others equally, if not more, guilty; that he was the victim, in fact, of more cunning and. cx.scs J 5 - it now is. Further investigation must -take place, and fresh parties be brought to trial, otherwise the public will look upon the whole affair as a solemn farce, and bad consequences cannot fail to follow. As the matter now stands there is an evident concealment. The tribunals of justice have the appearance of acting as the screeners of guilt. The Government seem to have been absolutely deterred from going to trial, knowing well that the evidence to be adduced would establish gross want of superintendence in the Exchequer Bill office, and bring home irresistible proof of ladies against them. The trial (such as it was) being at an end, the next step to be looked for is the ilecision of the Lords of the Treasury with the impounded. bills detained by Lord Monteagle, to wait the direc tions of their Lordships. They cannot have much difficulty in making up their minds. The guilt is now restricted to the act of a Go vernment officer holding a situation of high trust and confidence, and the asser tion that the signatures were attached by another party after the bills went out of his hands is no longer tenable. The chain of connection sought to be formed between the holders of the spurious bills and an individual not in Government employ is broken up, and the Crown remains fixed by their own act and deed isolated with the confession of Smith, their own officer, as the sole criminal. But, on the other hand, the innocent holders are deprived of the benefit of the evidence of laches which must have come out against the • Crown if evidence had been led to convict any party. The Crown have thus taken a double advanta g e. First impounded the bills, and thus de prived t he means of making good th e i r o f all t them f claims in a Court of Law, and then an arrange ment is made by which they are precluded from the benefit which they must have derived from a rigid investigation of the truth. There is still, however, one fortunate circumstance in favour of the innocent holders which legal subtlety cannot easily circumvent. A considerable amount was who haveirtspuri p their scrip. spurious 'p aper by subscribers Theseubscriber parties lo the funding sold were called upon to re pl ace t h e spur i ous bills with paid genuine paper, or to return their scrip. They have refused, we believe; to comply with either demand, and it _thus becomes incumbent on the officers of the Crown to compel these parties to do as they have been required, or they must have ctfreardy made up their mind to pay the innocent holders. POST. --This was what may be technically termed the monthly account -day among the commercial houses. The difficulties which have existed for the last few weeks in the Exchequer bill market, combined with the rather numerous and important failures that have taken place, both at home and abroad, had excited fears in the minds of many, lest the heavy payments of the present month might not be so punctually provided provided for as usual; bu t such fea d r N r enaoc no t hapoi pear to have been well-founde_d sci o b ent jna engagement occurred to-day of su _ observation, gn tilde to become a subj ect of general although it is not unlikely that some mino r _ cases of embarrassment ma y have been heard _Ol . . The trial of Beaumont S mith, in the Central Criminal Court, and the curious circumstances attending it, were matters of deep interest, the prevailing expectation being that other and . less unimpor tant names than those of Smith h imself and the a pprover Rapallo would be brought before the public iu connection with the proceedings; but, ord • a p a rt from these, the day was more than -ma rily tranquil. HERALD: —The trial of Beaumont Smith, so far as the circumstances attending it, has taken People in the City greatly by surprise; and more still the discharge, or presumed discharge, of Rapallo ; not because that person may not be, and must be accepted as being, innocent of implication in the mal-practices of Smith, but because it cannot be understood on what ground, consistently with the result, he should have been apprehended and incarcerated. Again, Smith, after pleading guilty, states that he has made a full disclosure of all particulars and persons (sub stantially) connected with these nefarious Exche quer frauds and forgeries. This confession, after being laid before the Judge, was - given up and. re mains in the possession oOlr AlauleSolici tor to the Treasury. People naturally ask, what next? Are there no parties taken into custody, no prosecutions instituted in conse quence ? If Smith's confession may be believed, he had accomplices —accomplices more guilty than himself—accomplices who received and mo nopolised all the gains flagitiously made by these tainted Exchequer issues, by which the convict avers he never benefited to the extent of one farthing received or participated in, or was cog' nisant of, any of the stock or other gambling
