LEWIS C. HERTSLET, Clerk. 1, Greek-street, Soho-square, Nov. 11, 1842. 4PIII. Mr. Watts, in whose employ the prisoner had lived for ten months, gave him an excellent character for honesty.—The case was remanded, to enable the wit noss to procure the attendance of other witnesses to character. The door of the adjoining room having been opened, in walked upwards of half a hundred miser able half-starved looking wretches, many of them car rying squalling babes in their arms, and all of them bearing about them the evidences of extreme poverty. A gentleman said the neighbourhood from which the complainants came, presented visages of real mi sery in great abundance, and it would be an act of mercy in those benevolent ladies, who were known to visit abodes of this kind, to look in some day upon the comfortless homes which there presented them- MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES.—A good deal ofconsternation was created by the announcement early this morning of the de camping cif Mr. E. J. Jordan, one of the clerks of the London Joint-stock Bank. The property he had in his possession was under 20,000/. in Bank of Eng land notes of 1,0001., 500/., and 200/. each, which it appears he received in the cashing of cheques and bills in his collection on Saturday. Not returning to the instant made, at the usual time, inquiries were on the made, but nothing could be gleaned satisfactorily to account for Mr. Jordan's absence. These have been followed up with the greatest activity since, and al though officers and instructions have been dispatched to all quarters, not the least clue has as yet been ob tained to the flight of the fugitive. The Board of Directors are unremitting in their attention to a search. It is scarcely possible the delinquent will get clear off with his booty, if due diligence be exercised by the officers now on the scent; for, besides consi dering the difficulty such a young man will find—he being described as only 25 years of age•—in the ex• change of notes of the amount named, to supply himself with funds to effect an escape, he labours under the additional disadvantage of having started, whatever route he may have taken, but a few hours before his principals became aware of his default. All the outports are supplied with full descriptions of his appearance, dress, and gait ; so that, with the hand bills and the general publicity given to the fraud, it is hoped he will not be able long to evade detection. It is stated, that he had been only a few months in the 1 1 employ of the bank, but had been 'uniformly regarded as of steady and regular business habits. Were it not that Joint-stock banks are excluded from the privileges of the London clearing-house, this delinquency could never have occurred. The private bankers have always resisted the attempts on several occasions made to allow the clearance of the cheques of these rival establishments, on the ground, it is pre sumed, of securing inviolate to themselves one of the chief advantages accruing from the " crossing" of cheques which, passing between each other, are never paid except by the process of clearing. Thus the pre sent fraud has occurred in consequence of the clerk of the Joint-stock Bank being obliged to be trusted with the checks, though " crossed," and receiving the money in notes or gold over,the counter. • It would, therefore, appear that one part of the banking interest is protected, while the other part is left to the mercy and integrity of the servants they employ, having nu such sufficient protection as the clearing-house affords. An opinion prevails pretty extensively among the monied interest in the City that the approaching ses sion of Parliament will bring forth some sweeping measure for the final settlement of the currency ques tion, and for giving the best protection to the public that the case will admit, in regard to banking affairs generally. This opinion is founded upon a variety of causes, but more especially these—that the pre sent system works as badly a% possible—that an abun dance of materials for a reform have been provided by the inquiries of various Committees of Parliament — that the Bank Charter is at the disposal of the Go vernment, for an early termination, if it is thought prudent to exercise that right—and, finally, that Sir Robert Peel and his Ministry, being relieved from all foreign embarrassments, will possess the leisure and the ability to settle these perplexing questions. The present charter of the Bank of England dates from the Ist of August, 1834, and is for 21 years, but gives, by the fifth clause, an option to the Govern ment of putting an end to the charter upon giving one year's notice within six months after the expira- A little boy, not more than 11 years of -age, was charged with having stolen 23 half-crowns, 22 shil lings, and two farthings, from the till of a Mr. Steel, his master. The money was discovered on another little boy, named Bennam, who told from whom he had it, and the prisoner on being taxed with the theft confessed it. Mr. PAYNE defended the prisoner, remarking strongly on the conduct of the Rev. Gentleman, the Magistrate who had committed the boy for trial, after it had appeared that the master of the lad had for given him. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy on account of his youth, a recommendation in which the prosecutor j oi n ed.—Sentence deferred. CHARGE OF SWINDLING.—SamueI Barnard, alias Rtfffell, was charged with having obtained goods to the amount of 1001. under false pretences. The prosecutors were Messrs. Winton and Co., warehouse men, Wood-street, City. Mr. DOANE stated the case for the prosecution, and called selves. • The LORD MAYOR observed that the suggestion was a humane one, and would no doubt lead to visits of the kind. It was too often the case that by appar ent accident alone this distress and misery, which were not to be heard bawling or seen shivering in the streets, came to the knowledge of the philan thropist. The policeman produced the bag which the prisoner held in her hand when she was taken into custody, and which contained six shillings and twopence in halfpence. It appeared that the success which had attended the ingenious experiment, had given so much confidence to the prisoner, that she began to collect twopences and sixpences, and at length shillings. The LORD MIYOR desired that one of the officers of the Justice-room should pay to each poor woman what she had been cheated of, and give the sum of ten shillings to the unfortunate mother for whose children Mrs. Styles promised to procure burial-ground. The • prisoner wept bitterly,, and called upon .the Lord Mayor to send her out of the country for ever, as she had looked everywhere in vain for employment. His LORDSHIP asked whether there was any one present from the borough of Southwark ? Elizabeth Palmer, of No. 44, Castle-street, South wark, here stepped forward, and said the prisoner visited that neighbourhood on Thursday, and got money from several poor people. She stated to them that she had baby linen to give away.for infants up to seven years old. Witness told her she had three small children, and Mrs. Styles, after having used some expressions of compasssion, took fourpence from her, and appointed to meet her at the vestry at St. Saviour's church. In another case the prisoner, as the rain was falling, borrowed an old umbrella along with the pence from a poor woman with a large family. The LORD MAYOR—Have you any thing to ob serve in those Southwark cases, Mrs. Styles ? The prisoner—Nothing, my Lord. I know it is all bad, and it is as true ,as it is bad. I confess that I have committed a great offence, but I have no one to help me, and I am in great necessity. The LORD MAYOR—I shall send you to Bridewell as a rogue and vagabond for three months for this heartless conduct towards those poor distressed women, and when you come out full of repentance, I shall see what can be done to save you from destruction. The prisoner was then taken from the bar, appa rently grateful for the latter assurance of the Lord Mayor, and the complainants all departed, warmly expressing their sense of his Lordship's kindness. John Wilson, who was a few days ago brought up on suspicion of having lurked about chambers in the City, for the purpose of plundering them, and who had been bailed by a respectable man to make his ap pearance a few days ago, appeared to answer any complaint that might be made against him. It appeared that the gentleman who bailed the, prisoner was very near being exchequered by the conduct of the latter, who did not appear according to his bond, and that his bail found it necessary to secure him by calling an officer, who found some dif ficulty in tugging him along. The LORD MAYOR—Why, Mr. Wilson, you wanted to give us leg-bail again. The prisoner—No, my Lord, I meant to come, and I called before, but nobody was here. The prisoner's bail said Mr. Wilson was a man of some independent property, and was often in pos session of large sums of money. The Loup M.tyoxt—l advise you, Sir, to take care hoW yoii bail this gentleman again. The prisoner—lf his recogniza.nces had been estreated I would have made it good to him. The amount was only 1001. • The Loup MAYOR—WeII, I advise you, Mr. Wilson, not to be seen lurking about counting houses again. The prisoner—l hope not, my Lord. The LORD Maxon—You see a man may get into danger by it, Mr. Wil s on. Mr. Wilson—Yes, my Lord, it is very unpleasant indeed.—(A laugh.)—Discharged. LAMBETH-STRCET. TO BONUS POLICY HOLDERS. The Protective Re-assurance having been again desired by parties who availed themselves (during the currency of .the two last Equitable decennial per'ods) of the simple system originated by the ASYLUM in 1828, the Directors, to avoid the future necessity of such repetitions, have constructed scales of renewable term insurances, continusus from division to division, according to the duration of the original policy, without having recourse to new Certificates of Health, or fur ther investigation of any kind, after one present satisfactory appearance before a Medical Officer of the Company, thus providing, as far as possible, a remedy for the defects of the Bonus system, rendered glaringly apparent by the existing expediency for such protective Re-assurance. By the adop tion of this easy plan, parties may:not only secure Equitable and other Bonuses, but, at the same time, provide, by such extra insurance, for any additional object that may occur during the currency of the original Policy, whilst in the event of premature death, they will have paid no more than the price of a term, with the full advantage of a whole-life insurance, and realise all the expectant advantages of Survivorship.

Winton, who stated that the prisoner came to their house on the Ist of July.' He had not known him before. Prisoner said he wanted to open an account with their firm, and gave his name and address " Samuel Barnard, linen-draper, Waltham Abbey." In answer to questions about his circum stances, he said be had received legacies to the amount of 1,0001. He also gave refeuees, which induced witness to let him have goods to the amount of 921. The payment was to be part cash and a bill at three months for the remainder. Prisoner paid 19/. in cash, and gave the bill for the balance of 721. 16s. The goods consisted of shawls, Scotch muslins, and de laines. The goods were delivered the next day. He came again on the 13th of July, and had goods to the amount of 22/.. Bs. The balance due to the firm at the present time was more than 1001. Mr. CLARKSON cross-examined witness on behalf of the prisoner, and it appeared that the bill given by the prisoner being dishonoured, one of the partners was sent down to Waltham Abbey, and found the shop of the prisoner, though it had no name on it ; three pounds were received from Mrs. Barnard, and the prisoner came up to London, had an interview with Mr. Winton, who renewed the bill for one month. Some bales of goods were seized at Bar. nard's house, and were now lodged in Mr. Winton's warehouse but they were not considered the pro perty of the firm; they were only there for the con venience of all the creditors. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner, contending that no deception whatever had been practised, as the name the prisoner went by was his real name. He dropped the surname of Ruffell, as by that name be was made a bankrupt, while carrying on business in the Borough, and was still un• certificated. It was a change of name for the purpose of struggling, into business, but not with any intention to defraud. He contended, also, that the fact of the renewal of the bill for a month was giving a new credit. The taking possession of the goods was a decidedly illegal act, and they were obtained under a threat to the wife. It was altogether a transaction of credit, as the prisoner had used no concealment of his business or place of abode. Evidence was given [of the baptismal name of the prisoner. His family appeared to occupy a respecta ble station in life. Mr. - DOANE replied, and the evidence having been summed up by Mr. Commissioner Bullock, the Jury returned a verdict or Not Guilty. The Court rose at a quarter past five. -- Burlington-street. SURGEONS.—H. Mayo, Esq., F.R. S., 19, George - street , Ha n over-square ; and T. Calloway, Esq., Wellington-street, Southwark.

(YESTERDAY-) MANSION-ROU S E. Yesterday a very remarkable scene was exhibited in the Justice-room, in which the Lord Mayor per. formed a very humane and charitable part. Mary Ann Styles, a young woma n ver y respectab l y attired, was brought up, charged with having ob tained different sums of money-, froin one penny to one shilling, from multitudes of poor women, under the false pretence of supplying them with blankets and warm clothing for the winter. The policeman who apprehended the prisoner, was obliged to take some persons to protect her from the claws of the crowd of mothers axd grandmothers, who had assembled to complain to the Lord Mayor of the cruelty with which they had been treated. remain Th should in he AA a l djo v bie o n ß directed that isnwgerrnoo,man.dth a fewatthe of rest com plainantsthshould Mary Turnell, of Baker's- court, Half Moan -street, Bishopsgate, said, that while she was at No. 3 in the court, talking to a poor neighbour, Mrs. Styles walked in, and said she came to see how the poor people were situated for bedclothes, and she asked the owner of the room, how she was off? The owner immediately removed the bit of covering from her bed, and showed that she had not a bit of blanket in the world, upon which Mrs. Styles asked her in a most compassionate tone whether she had had no gifts last year, and having received an answer in the negative, said, " I shall give you a ticket for a pair of blankets, if you hand me a penny." The penny was green to the lady NOth gratitude, and a ticket for the blankets was given in return. Mr s . Styles then turned to witness and said, " And how are you off my poor wom an , ,, with great kindness. Witness, in extreme agony of mind, said she had two children lying dead at that moment, one of t hem bein g five and the other seven years old. ". I pity you very much my poor dear woman," said Mrs. Styles, " and I shall speak to the Rev. Mr. Childs to give you a little ground in the church -yard to bury your childre n in." Witness expressed her gra tit u de for such kind ness, and was more deeply obliged when Mrs. Styles sa id to her, " I shall give you a ticket to receive 10 s. which will do you more service than blankets ; give me a penny, and call upon me at my house, No. 11, Bread-street, and ask for Miss Cooper, and I shall give you a dress to make up, that you may follow your children to the grave.

The LORD INIAToR—Let all the poor 'w o.nen come in. . Yesterday Peter Hughes, who has been in custod\ for several weeks on a charge of obtaining a con siderable sum of money by representing himself as a Catholic priest, was brought before Mr. Norton for final examination. On the last examination three distinct charges were fully established against,the prisoner, wherein he re ceived sums of money by representing himself as the Rev. Mr. Kavanagh, the parish priest of Ballycanoe, and the parties were bound over to prosecute. Amongst those so bound over was Mr. Hodges, the distiller in Lambeth, to whom the prisoner had intro duced himself as the Rev. Mr. Kavanagh. Yesterday the Rev. Edward Kavanagh, who had been summoned to appear to give evidence against the prisoner, was in attendance. On being sworn, the rev. gentleman stated, that about two years ago he commenced erecting a chapel at Ballycanoe, which was a part of his parish. On the site of this erection a Catholic chapel formerly stood; but in the year 1798 the clergyman was shot at the altar, and the sacred edifice was immediately afterwards turned into a barracks for the soldiery. The walls of the new building were carried up to a height of 10 feet, but he was then obliged to discontinue their further pro gress from want of funds, so that they remained in that state from that time to the present. He (wit ness) was advised by a number of friends to come to England to make a subscription to enable him to com plete the chapel, and under the influence of such advice, he, in July, 1841, came to Liverpool to request subscrip tions, but finding distress was very general, parti cularly amongst his countrymen, he relinquished the idea, but at the same time the object for which he had Come there was very well. known , a nd very generally talked of. The Rev. Dr. Keating was the Catholic Bishop of his diocese, and it was not his practice, or that of any other of the Catholic Bishops, to interfere in any way in subscriptions made for the erection of Catholic chapels, but left them to the pastor of the parish. The prisoner was a perfect stranger to him, and he had never either directly or indirectly autho rised him to receive subscriptions on account of the chapel of Ballycanoe. A fourth charge was proved against the prisoner by Mrs. lioy - s, the wife of a respectable tradesman in the Borough, who had given him some money on his re presenting himself as the Rev. Mr. Kavanagh, for the building of the chapel, and-the prisoner, who declined offering anything in defence, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. i " tl K i F THE LONDON cit J ed orii in T- t S h T e O C C I IC.. ty B i — R AT l :u ß s T ua o lbustle course of yesterday, in consequence of robbery committed upon the London Joint-Stock Bank by one of the junior clerks of the establishment, named Edwin John Jordan. The thief, who is a tall, thin young man, had been sent out on Saturday to collect the amount of the the Bank of England eighteen notes for 1,0001. each, one for 500/., one for 3001., one for 2001., two for 1001. each, three for 501. each, two for 401. each, two for 301. each, one for 20/., and one for Si. Total, 19,7151. As he did not appear at the London Joint- Stock Bank at four o'clock, some apprehensions were entertained that he had met with some accident, but it is stated that the Managers had no suspicion that he had decamped. It was, however, we are given to understand, ascertained that he had exchanged bank notes for 500 or 600 sovereigns at the Bank of Eng land in the course of the day, so that little doubt was then felt as to his departure with the whole of the Property. Mr. Bush, the Solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for protection against forgeries and fraud, was engaged during the whole of Sunday on the busi ness, and caused a reward of 6001. to be offered for the apprehension of Jordan and the recovery of the notes. John and Daniel Forrester were also actively at work. The numbers of the notes are known, and have been advertised, and messengers were sent off to the different parts of the Continent. Mr. Bush's ar rangements to meet occasions of the kind are so excel lent, that every expectation is entertained of the re covery of the property. ""PRISON DISCIPLINZ.—The Commissioners for in quiring into the present state of the prisons in Gloucestershire 'have concluded their labours at Northleach and Gloucester, and proceeded to Littledean. The examination is strictly private, and no particulars will transpire until the publication of the official report. Another suspension bridge is projected across the Thames ; it is to be between Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, and the opposite shore of Battersea. t e inese Court, which would apatch an officer to meet the caravan, and conduct the persons to Pekin. Kiachta and Tuemchaitu, both of which are situated on the confines of Siberia, were appointed as places of resort, where a trade to the subjects of both nations was allowed. The Commerce, as it is now carried on, is entirely a trade of barter, the Russians being prohibited to export their coin, and the Chinese being unable to take anything but bullion. The Chinese merchant comes first to Kiachta, and examines the merchandise h 3 wants in the warehouse of the Russian trader, and when the price is settled, the goods are sealed in the presence of the Chinese. Both parties repair to Mai matschin, where the Russian chooses his commodi ties, and leaves behind a person of confidence, who remains in the warehouse till the Russian goods are delivered, when he returns with the Chinese mer chandise to Kiachta. Furs and peltry are the most important articles of importation on the side of the Russians. Most of these come from Siberia and the newly discovered islands, but, as a sufficient supply is not thus obtained for the Kiaclita market, foreign furs are sent to St. Petersburgh, and are thence dispatched to the fron tiers. Cloth, the coarser sort of which is manufac tured in Russia, while the finer sort principally comes from England, Prussia, and France, is the second article of exportation. C a mlets, calimancoes, drug gets, white flannels, stuffs, velvets, coarse linen, Russia leather, tanned hides, glass ware, hardware, tin, talc, cattle, sporting dogs, provisions, and meal are the re maining articles, though meal is less imported than formerly, from the Chinese having extended their agriculture. On the other hand the Chinese supply the Russians with silk, both manufactured and raw (although the exportation of the latter is prohibited under pain of death), cotton, teas, porcelain, furni ture, toys, artificial flowers, tiger and panther skins, rubies, colouring matters, canes, tobacco, rice, candies, rhubarb, and musk. The trade with China is found to be exceeding] v profitable to Russia, as she is able to dispose of such' furs as are of so little value that they would not pay the expanse of carriage front the east of Siberia to European Russia, while the richer furs, which are sold very dear to China, would not find purchasers in Russia on account of their expensiveness. They are also able to obtain from China, in exchange for these articles, which would otherwise be unprofitabl.e, many goods which they would be unable to purchase at an advantageous rate from the European Powers. The gross amount of the average trade, including such articles as are smuggled, is estimated at 4,000,000 roubles; the calculation for the present year, in which the contraband trade is omitted, giving 2,868,333 roubles. Some of the selling brokers of colonial wools seem to be of opinion that a sufficiently clear impression is not produced by the account of the recent meeting of the trade. All that Mr. Simes intended to do at tl e last meeting was to give a public statement of the meaning he attached to the second condition of the rules, a condition on which he says he has always acted. In conformity with this view, he has posted the following at Garraway's Coffee-house : " Sale-room, Garraway's, London, Nov. 25. In order that the buyers of colonial wool may be under no misapprehension as to the terms on which we offer the goods set forth in our catalogues, we deem it due to them to explain the construction we put on the second condition of sale ; at the same time, however, disclaiming any intention of arguing dis puted points with them. " The goods are to be taken with all faults and de fects, of whatever kind—false package manifestly ex cepted; and thus far we presume we are agreed. But here we may be at issue with some gentlemen as to:the meaning:of false package ;' we recognise, then, as coming within this limit, only such cases as where locks, grease, stone, iron, &c., shall be found so packed or concealed, as that no ordinary examina tion of the bales shall be able to detect, and, there fore, so placed with an evident intention to defraud. We do not recognise as coming within this limit such cases as that set forth in a paper recently drawn up, and read yesterday in this room, as there the ovrner takes the risk of selling by the inferior end of the bale, and we know multitudes of instances where such has been the case ; this we distinctly state on our own, as well as on the authority of some buyers themselves. We are further satisfied that the plan we have adopt ed, of sampling at one end and showing at the other, must, for the future, meet such cases ; and here, again, we are backed by the opinion of some influen tial buyers, as also the whole of the sellers. Cases of false package, therefore, such as we have so described, must rest on their own individual merits, greater or less, as they may be ; in all other respects we are de sired by our principals strictly to enforce the condi tions of sale. " On these terms and conditions, therefore, and on no other, we offer the goods set forth in our catalogue. " All claims on account of false package to be pre ferred within one month from the day of sale." POST.—The English Government Stocks were stationary all day. A little improvement in the value of Bank Stock occurred, but the fluctuations in no case amounted to anything worth noticing. The dealings in Foreign Stock were chiefly in the Mexican market. The Active Bonds began at 314, from which they receded to 291, but finally rallied to 301. The transactions are understood to have been influenced by the near approach of the settlement, which is fixed for Wednesday next, as this was the first " making-up day," and it was the policy of the jobbers, in the existing state of their books, to con tinue their stock at as low a price as they were able. The robbery committed on Saturday by a collect ing clerk in a joint-stock bank, of a large amount of notes, has caused a renewed demand to be made in certain quarters for the admission of the joint-stock establishments to the privileges of the clearing prin ciple, in common with the Bank o? England and pri vate bankers. An evening paper (the Globe) says with great simplicity on the subject, " the necessity for admitting the joint-stock banks to the London Bankers' clearing-house, or for some other mode of exchanging cheques, without the risk of paying large sums, in bank notes, is strongly exemplified again at the present moment by the delinquency of the collect ing clerk of the London Joint'- tock Bank, who ab sconded on Saturday with 20,0001. in notes, which he had received in his rounds from the private bankers in Lombard-street. It is time that the public took up this question seriously-." There is another question, however, which the pub lic might with advantage to society take up seriously, and which seems to claim a priority of discussion. There can be no wish to speak disparagingly of the London Joint-stock: Bank, or of any other well-con ducted establishment of the kind, but before an at tempt is made to invade the premises of the private bankers, which ought to be just as secure as a trades man's shop, a merchant's counting-house, or even a newspaper printing-office, from the intrusion of un welcome neighbours and rivals in business, it may be worth while to ascertain what absolute necessity there is for the joint-stock banks themselves. The share holders of the Northern and Central Bank of England, the Bank of Manchester, and other banks in the same district, are authorities who might perhaps be safely left, without troubling the public at all, to furnish an answer to the interrogatory. If the joint-stock banks have'the ingenuity to dis cover some expedient for themselves, in order to ok viate the difficulty under which they labour, there will be no objection on the part of the private banks to its adoption. They have ample scope for the im provement of their management, but that they should look to the private establishments for their counte nance and encouragement, while they do so little to deserve it, is to look for too much. The tea sales, consisting of 61,000 packages, the commencement of which attracted great attention to day, have not, so far as they have proceeded, given any decided tone to the markets. Importers were firm, and bought in freely. The trade held back, and only 2,000 packages, out of 15,000, which pass e d auction, were actually sold. These brought prices about the same as those which were current previous to the arrival of the late accounts from China. The sales will be resumed to-morrow (Tuesday). SUN.—Stocks closed without any increased firm ness, but although there were a few sales made file prices kept up. Consols brought 9411 4 for Money and 95 to * for Account. Exchequer Bills receded to 555. and 535. premium, East India Bonds were at 50s. to 525. premium. Bank Stock has been up to 17 4 3 a and closed at that price. East India Stock was firm at 2651 to 266 i. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 1011- to 1. The Foreign Market was rather animated ; the spe culative Bonds, except Mexican, which left off at 30, being generally a better sale. Portuguese New Five per Cents. improved to 371 and 381, the Converted to 31 1 1 to 32, and the Three per Cents. to 224. Spanish Actives were steady at 174 to 18, and the Three per Cents. improved to 22 and 221. Dutch Two• and-a- Half per Cents. realised 524 j-; Buenos Ayres Stock was at 22 to 221, and Peruvian at 17 to 171. The transactions in Railway Shares since the morn ing have comprised Eastern Counties D ebentures at 21, Birmingham Quarter at 241, South Western at a decline to 18i, Northern and Eastern Scrip at 4 1 , and Paris and Rouen at 41 premium. Brighton were 14i-, Blackwall 11, and South Eastern 27i-discount. British North American Bank Shares were 71 discount. tion of ten years from the above date ; and the Char ter might, consequently, be reclaimed early in the year 1646 ; if that period is passed over, the charter will go on to the full term, expiring in 1855, after which, if no new charter is entered into, the exclusive privileges may be terminated at any time by giving a year's notice. The concurrence of the Bank itself in any new measure to be introduced is not impossible, as means might be found to make it acceptable to that corporation ; but the more probable issue is, that the Government would have opposition to encounter from that quarter, and therefore it will be wise to be pre pared for the worst that may happen by as early a commencement of operations as possible. It will be at once courteous to the Bank, and beneficial to the public, to disclose as soon as possible any policy that may be adopted towards that institution. The great objects which men of business would de sire to see attained are—such a regulation of the cur rency as will prevent its being ever greatly in excess, or deficient in amount, and to make it uniform in its character all over the United Kingdom. The more determined opposition to such a reform will arise, as it may safely be anticipated, on the side of the Scotch bankers, who have always acted in concert in resisting any invasion of their usages, with a compactness and energy which it has been found impossible hitherto to overcome ; and hence the changes introduced into England and Ireland could never, undergo a fair trial, while small paper issues were allowed to prevail to so great an extent on the other side of the Scottish border. Whether they have used the advantages thus gained well or ill, it is certain that trade in the rest of the country has been more or less injured by the facilities which these paper issues have afforded to the dealers and manu facturers of Scotland. Notwithstanding the boasted soundness and secu rity of the Scotch system of banking, the belief is very prevalent among the London bankers that it is hollow and unsafe at bottom, and must end one day or Other in some great convulsion ; nay more, that their own conviction of the real unsoundness of their foundation makes them combine so vigorously as they do, in resisting all attempts for the establishment of a pure convertible currency. From statements recently made in a publication called the Bankers' Circular, and adverted to under this head, it appears that enorm ous credits are given by the Scotch banks, and that their deposits bearing interest amount to a very large sum. The propor tion that their liabilities bear to their actual capital is not easily to be got at, but they are probably five or six times as large. It is generally supposed that these deposits are invested in Government securities to a certain extent, and the remainder in loans and mortgages of various kinds. Should any material depreciation take place, through panic or otherwise, in these investments, 'whatever form they may have taken, the whole of the capital may disappear, and we have heard this assigned as a reason why a very cautious and long-sighted Director in one of the Scotch banks did, several years ago, retire from all share in the management. The occurrence of a war would seriously affect them with their Govern ment securities, but they would be hit much more fatally in those securities upon which their advances are made at home ; for, supposing that a sound and convertible paper currency is established upon Go vernment security for the whole country, Scotland in cluded, the first consequence of which would be to compel them to call in or curtail a great portion of their advances, the question would then be how to realise such securities as they hold in that new repre sentative of value. In regard to the deposits with the banks, they would themselves be in a similar diffi culty. This is a test to which they must be subjected, as a first step, probably, in a reform of the currency ; and, as they know with whom they will have to deal, they would do well to be prepared for it. At present there is no necessity for going further into this subject. As we have stated, there is a belief that the Peel Ministry will attempt to grapple with it in the next session, and that if they carry it through su ccessfully, they will confer a public benefit greater than any tliey have yet achieved. The recent extension of the trade of Russia with China, which has lately become such an object of interest, is well described in a work recently trans lated from the Russian of Dr. Pallas and M. Muller, and entitled " The Conquest of Siberia." In this there is a succinct account as well of the origin of the commerce in question as of the extent to which it is at present carried on. The commencement of all connexion between the Russians and the Chinese seems to have been towards the middle of the 17th century, when the Russians, spreading eastward through the territory on each side of the river Amor, and subduing several independent Ton gusian hordes, which the Chinese also de signed to conquer, the two countries were brought into collision. Open hostilities broke out in 1680, terminating in a cegular treaty, by which the progress of the Russian arms was criecked, and the foundations of a commerce were laid, and which was signed in 1689. The Russians lost by this treaty the navigation of the Amoor, but obtained in return a permanent trade with the Chi nese. Under it much difficulties arose, and it was not till 1728 that the treaty of Kiachta was signed, which is the basis of all transactions carried on be tween the two countries at the present time. In that treaty it was declared that a caravan might go to Pekin every three years on condition that it sho ,- l d not contain more than 200 persons and directly t his caravan reached the f ron ti er no ti c e was to be sent to - Mr. Henry Cut Tan, the eldest son of Mr. H. Grat tan Curran, of Dublin, who was one of those who i.erished in the Reliance, East Indiaman, off Bou logne, had entered the naval service about three years, and being placed upon the India station, made the voyage to China last year in the ill-fated ship. He had nut completed his twentieth year. But his abi lity and worth had caused him to receive promotion unusual for a person of his youth and standing. His bereaved parents were in daily expectation of his ar rival when the melancholy catastrophe occurred. _ The French Ambassador transacted business yes terday at the Foreign-office, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD TRADESMEN.—Edward John Stevenson, 26, coachmaker, was charged with conspiring and confederating with another person, not in custody, by means of divers frauds and de vices, to obtain goods and property from different tradesmen, and to defraud them of the same. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Charnock appeared for tha prosecution. Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the defendant. It will be recollected that the prisoner was tried at the last session of this Court for - forgery, arising ou of the same transactions that were the subject of the present prosecution. Upon that occasion the prisoner was charged with uttering a bill of exchange for 691., purporting to be accepted by a Captain Cutting, of Ipswich, to one of the tradesmen from whom he had obtained goods, and which was dishonoured when it arrived at maturity. Upon the trial a person was produced, however, who swore that he was the Cap tain Cutting referred to, and that he had accepted the bill for the prisoner and a person named Williams, who was now alleged to be his co-defendant, and the defendant was, in consequence, acquitted. Mr. John Mallinson, an outfitter, carrying on bu siness in the Minories, proved that in the month of May last, an elderly person, who represented his name to be Williams, accompanied by the defendant, who, he said, was his son, came to his warehouse and told him that he had taker, a shop for the defendant in the Minories, and they looked out goods to the value of between 801. and 901., which were sent home, and 201. was paid on account, and no more money could be obtained. Ultimately, after a good deal of pressing, a bill of exchange for 691., accepted by Captain Cut ting, of Ipswich, was given for the balance, but when the bill became due, no such person could be found, and the goods were never paid for, and he found that the shop in the Minories, occupied by the prisoner and Williams was shut up, and that the parties had decamped, leaving nothing behind but " dummies" (bales filled with saw-dust and shavings). An old established shop opposite to that occupied by the pri soner and his companion was kept by a person named I Williams. Mr. Robert Popplewell, an outfitter in St. Mary axe, proved that under similar circumstances he fur nished goods to the amount of 41/. to the defendant and Williams. ,He was induced to send the goods in consequence of the representation that the order came from Mr. Williams, of 185, Ratcliffe-highway, who was the person referred to by the last witness, and who was known to be a respectable tradesman. John Priest, the porter to Mr. Popplewell, proved the delivery of the goods, and that the prisoner told him his name was `Williams. John Hissev, in the service of Messrs. Flashmen and Co., of Nlanchester, proved that he saw the prisoner at the shop occupied by him and Williams, and in the course of conversation he represented him • self to be Williams, and said that the shop opposite, to which he pointed, was also his. Believing the pri soner's representations, goods to the amount of 281. were furnished to him. He gave a reference to Mr. Popplewell, of Cateaton-street. Mr. Thomas Williams, the person referred to by the prisoner and his companion, deposed that he knew nothing of the prisoner, or the other person. Witness was acquainted with Mr. Popplewell, Cateaton-street. Mr. Peter Popplewell deposed, that upon inquiry being made of him regarding the respectability of Mr. Williams, of the Minories, he gave his opinion that he was very respectable, of course at the time imagin ing that the inquiry referred to his friend Mr. Thos. Williams. Some other evidence of the same description having been adduced, Mr. CLARK.S . ON addressed the Jury for the defendant. The RECORDER then summed up, and a verdict of guilty was returned. The RECORDER said there was some reason to sup pose that the prisoner had, to a certain extent, been made the tool of other parties, and therefore the sen tence would not be so severe as it would have been under other circumstances. Where, however, such offences as these were proved, it was absolutely neces sary that adequate punishment should. follow ; and the sentence, therefore, was, that he be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for nine calendar months. NEW COURT. It was a considerable time before the business of the Court could be proceeded with, in con sequence of the absence of witnesses and prosecu tors, a matter of frequent complaint on the first day of the sessions. The Grand Jury having returned into Court with true bills, several prisoners, the persons named, were placed at the bar, and arraigned. Several of them put in a plea of guilty. James Brookland, for stealing a gallon of beer, the property of George Harman, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one week's imprisonment in Newgate. John Kennard, a youth of 17, was indicted for stealing three bank-notes, value 207., and a sum of 621. in gold, the property of James Paiuter Davis. The prisoner, up to the time of the theft, had borne an irreproachable character ; the money was a remit tance from the country, and the largeness of the amount was too much for the prisoner's virtue. Mr. PAYNE appeared for the prisoner; he did not make any defence, but urged in mitigation the good. character of the prisoner, and the fact that a lexge portion of the property had been recovered. The officer had in his possession 461. of the amount, besides various purchases that had been made by the prisoner with the residue. The prisoner threw him self on the clemency of the Court.
