COURT OF QUEEN'S 11ENCH, Feb. 26. 'ME QUEEN V. JOHN PARKER, BENJAMIN PARKER, AND MAY. This action, which has been removed into this Court by a writ of certiorari, was laid against the defendants for obtain ing certain goons and merchandise under false pretences, thus defrauding, to a considerable amount, several respectable houses in the City of Lor.don. From the successful manner in which the goods had been obtained, the case excited great interest in the commercial community. Mr. Platt and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution ; the defence was conduCted by the Attorney-General and Mr. Kelly. Mr. PLATT stated to the Jury the facts of the case, as follow :—The defendants, John and Philip Parker, had been iu business previous to the year 1830, and the defendant, Philip May, was also carrying on business in the City of London as a linendraper. In 1841 Benjamin Parker was an uncertificated bankrupt, and being such, he, in the early part of that year, took a house in the city, and opened a business under the name of John Parker and Co. His business was ostensibly that of an exporter of goods to the East Indies, Sydney, and Texas ; he was an importer also, but his business was principally in fo reign 4xpo-tation. Ile gave out that lie haJ a capital of 4,000/., and that lie expected 5,000/. from his mother-in-law, and, in sh irt, that he was a person of considerable expecta tion... His counting-house was No. 701 f, Thames-street, and from this place he, during the month of June, 1841, applied in the name of John Parker and Cu., through his clerk or buyer, to several houses for goods suitable to the markets, to which hesaid he was in the habit of-exporting. These orders were of various amounts, and were chiefly given to Messrs. Tarn and Law, car pet-manufacturers and agents, Wood-street. They were to be paid for in part on delivery, and the remainder at a subsequent time. As in most cases, where there it an intention to defraud tradesmen, a large portion of the first order was so paid. Other orders were given and supplied during the whole of the month of June, from Messu.4. Tarn and Law; Mr. Bradbury, Messrs. Holmes, and other parties, the amounts being varying sum=, from 100/. to 377/. 10s. at a time, but the great part of them being suppled by Messrs. Tarn and Law, who were sufferers altogether to the extent of 1,600/. by these transaction:. During this period application was Made for payment for these goods, when the defendant John Parker stated that his brother was very ill; on inquiry being made for his ',riven, residence, he said it was at Hamp stead. Early in July, Parker and Co, applied to a Mr. Fen. hell, fa- a sample of cotton yarn suited to the East India market, and a quantity was supplied on their represen tation. Mr. Fennell called at the counting-house in Thames street which was tilled up with all the appearances of an ex tensive shipping business, invoices, bills of lading, and cards of the sailing of vessela. He called again on the 10th of July, and then found no one but a porter, while the counting-house had been completely gutted. On inquiry it was found that all the goods that had been supplied to Parker and Co., had been taken to Philip May, within a day or two after their delivery at the catnoing-house, and disposed of enor mously below their value. The names of the two Parkers were falsely stated, as the real John Parker was called Joseph, while Benjamin called himself John. They hail an account at the London and We.tininster Bank, and Benjamin Parker had signed the book in the name of John, while it also appeared that on the 30th of July, the account had been closed, and they had not a shilling in tha: bank. The Learned Coun sel remarked strongly on the manner in s hich the property had been received by May, anal pointed out the injurious effect likely to result to the commercial community from such pro ceedings. The firm that had principally suffered had in con sequence been compelled to call its creditors together, and make an arrangement with them. On the 12th of July, all vestige of the firm of Parker and Company had disappeared, and the firm was entirely swept away. Pro ceedings were taken against the two Packers before the Lord Mayor, and made much noise in the City. At the time Ben jamin Parker was taken into custody, lie and John Parker, the sham Joseph lived in private lodgings ; and it happened that it did net occur to them to ray their rent. The landlord consequently teieed some of the property, and among it some letters, one of which he kept. Mr. Plait read this letter, which was written by Benjamin to his brother, after lie was taken. It stated that he had not reciglyed aiy letter from him in answer to his tavo last, and expresoearlin'anxiety to see low he could sign John Parker and CO:" He hoped also that his brother would get a copy of the evidence, and make himself well aCqu lilted with i', as he might have a great deal of cross ques tioning ; he then gave directions as to certain hills that had been accepted and other matters, and advised him not to let the Counsel excite him or put him out of temper, should they cross-examine him mush ; he was to be prepared with such answers as would tell against them. 31r. Platt then mentioned a most extraordinary part of the ca e. Mention had been made of Joseph Parker, and though John Parker had falsely assumed the name of Joseph. yet there really was a Joseph Parker existing. There were three brothers, John and Joseph being twins, and so much alike in person, that when they were dressed alike, co person could distinguish one from the other. But the real Jo eph at the time lived two hundred miles from London. The letter to-which the Learned Counsel had re ferred then gave the most minute directions as to the answers John Parker should return to certain questions which Benja min anticipated would be asked of him. He (Mr. Platt) had never read such a complete case of attempting to suborn a witness. The real Joseph was also now brought forward; an extract from a letter from Benjamin to him was read, asking how long he hail been in town, and stating that he (Benjamin) wanted to bring two actions for false imprisonment, against certain parties, as they could pro bably make a few hundreds by it. Mr. Platt explained that for this purpose Joseph was brought up to London, that he might be taken up for John, so that then an action for false impri sonment might he brought by the veritable Joseph, on the ground of not being the right person. The letter told him that he might make 1001. or 200/. by it, and advised him to keep him self quiet and out of the way for the present. In a letter to John Parker, he again begs him to practice his handwriting, and write as much like him ( Benjamin) as pos sible, p a fticularly as to signing John Parker and Co., He also begs him to order two su;ta of clothes at the place where he had tn, last ; one suit to do for .Joseph, and to have them just alike, an,.! ordered to be ready on the same day. This sufficiently prover; the intention of the parties. The Learned Gentleman then concluded by commenting on the great importance. of the case, and i.ointing out to the Jury the great talent with which the defence would be conducted. Mr. PLATT then called a s th e fir s t witness: Jacopi Arenfeld, who was examined by Mr. CLaussow— He stated that he was engaged in the service of Benjamin Parker in the month of May last. He knew him by the name of John Parker, and he was engaged by him as buyer at a salary of 300/. a year. lie understood that Parker was engaged in the foreign business and was a man of ample means. The counting house was in Thames-street, under the name of John Parker and Co— describing themselves as shippers for the Sydney . and Texas trade. I hey were also importers of wine. Benjamin Parker stated to him that his stock of wines was worth two thousand pounds, that his capital in cash was four thousand pounds, and that he had a eery good connexion abroad. principally in the wine-trade. Benjamin Parker had a brother in his 'service to whom he was introduced by the name of Joseph Parker. He received directions as to the course he was to pursue as a buyer, that was, he was to buy such ar ticles as were fit for the markets of Sydney and Texas. They were bought partly for cash and partly on credit, and lie had nn reason to believe but that they is ere respectable men. The counting-house was fitted up as f r the shipping trade, with bills of lading, placards, notice's of ships sailing for the colo- Sties, &e. AMong other houses he applied to Tarn and Law, with whom he opened an account for Parker and Co., about the latter end of May last. ‘;.oine of the goods that were supplied were paid for within the fortnight. The articles he had purchased included merinos, black lutestring, pieces of Orleans, cotton, sheets, damask cloths, printed furniture, pieces of Irish linen, and calico.: On serveeal occasions these were delivered at the warehouse of John Parker and Co. They remained for a day or two, and sometimes went out of the place the same day. He understood that they went to the packers to get ready for shipping. it was usual for parties engaged in the shipping trade to keep a s hipping-book, but he never saw ono at Parker's. Sometimes the goods were removed in his presence. His hours of attend ance were from nine till five o'clock, and sometimes goods that he had left there in the evening, were gone in the morning, or being then carried away. Ott the 10th of July, Benjamin Parker said that Mrs. Parker was ill at Brighton, and went away, and he Lever saw him again. He was not dis • charged from their service. Shortly before that, Mr. Parker bad taken an additional warehouse, that he might have more room, and a press for packing his own hoods. Witness here exa mined the invoices of goods supplied " to the firm, and stated that they were the invoices of goods he had purchased. He also spoke to an interview between lienjardn Parker and May before Parker went away, from which it appeared to wit ness that there was an understanding between them. Examined by Mr. Pr Ay— r Know's the handwriting of Mr. Benjamin P ar k er . .The letter hande.l to him was like his writing. Examined by the Alert NEY-GENERAL—Went into the service of Jehn . Park er i n .luly of last year. Bought goods for him tilbthe begh re i ng of June and July. Had no doubt but that the business of J. Parker was perfectlycorrect a Nr. t that i time. He had two w are h ouses and twocounting 13. Parker told hint they kept a a Si r nes book houses. . He was not . aware of it from his own kieswledge. Cross-exeinined by Mr. II U REV—Knew Tarn and Law before the present te ansaction. Law joined Tarn about three or four yars le fire the p event business. lie referred people from it horn lie made purchases to them. Recollects the first purchase that Parker made of Tare and Law. It was on the 4th of November. The payments for that purchase were made in cash. Never heard Tarn complain that the sera li; . st cleepie was dislienoured. S reposed all the goods eicen to the Par!set s were intended to 1.,:s shipped for Sydney. bid not advise this Paikers to ads house In Hamburgh to send them goods. Is a me ive of Meckfeelierg ; lived for some time in Hainteireh ; has been out of it f,r 2.;) years. Examined by Mr. V.a LENTINE—IS still a commissine-mer chant. Has acted for many . years in that capacity. Was act ing in that capacity for Parker. Was fourteen years in this Country. Did not tell the Parkers immediately that he knew Tarn and Law. Is 45 years of age. John Parker is about 24 years. Examined by Mr. Romax—Benjamin and John Parker were in Court. ('I he witness here ideittifiel the prisoners.) He did business for Messrs. White and Greenvrell. He re ferred persons by the direction of Benjamin Parker, to Messrs. Tarn and Law. Several persona celled on Parker to settle their accounts. Mr. Fennell was one of these persons. _ Mr. Ja mes T arn was th en ca ll e d and examined by Mr. gv . rresr—l s one of the parties from whom goods were °b eamed by the pr;seners. the re by They tons of Arenfeld. The invoices handed to him are his. The goods they received amounted to 2,760 IThere is a balance of 1,6001. due. The witness was here handed some cheques on the London and Westminster Bank, which he identified. Some were paid. They were signed by John Parker and Co. Other goods, besides those which were ' paid for, were sold and delivered to J. Parker between the 4th and 12th of June. One cheque was for 3681. Is., and another was for 2001. Both were paid. He also sold goods on the 11th of June. That was before he got the cheque on the 12th of June. When be called at their counting-house in Thames-street he saw there Arenfeld and J. Parker. •He ( Arenfeld) introduced John Parker to him as Joseph Parker. Benjamin Parker was not there at that time. He ( Benjamin) was afterwards introduced to him by his brother John, under the name of John Parker. Arenfeld also called Benjamin Parker by the name of John. He now knew him as Benjamin, and not as John. He spoke to Benjamin Parker with regard to the goods he delivered them. They asked him about some calicoes, and with how many pieces he could supply them. He stated that he could not supply them. at that time with more than 200 pieces, and that in the course of six weeks he might supply them with 300 pieces. They an swered they did not wish to ship 200 pieces, as it only lowered them in the estimation of their Sydney correspondent. With regard to the merinos, B. Parker said they were very cheap, and asked if they could be supplied with more. He said that what they received had been shipped. He (witness) had heard that Ben jamin Parker had been married to a Miss Bamtield, of Hamp stead, and had received 4.0001. fortune. With regard to the calicoes, he told Benjamin Parker that he did not conceive that a shipment of 200 pieces would lower them in the estimation of their correspondents. On the 26th of June Benjamin Parker came to him and informed him that he had closed his account with the London and Westminster Bank, and had opened an account with the London County Bank. He asked him (witness) what he had done with the cheque. On the 28th of June he again saw Benjamin Parker. He was paying him a stun of money to the amount of 180/. That was riot the entire amount of what was due to him, but he stated that Miss Bamtield was out of town, and that when she re turned to town she would sell out 5,(K)0/. worth of stock, and he would then pay the remainder. He said he would have the 5,0001. on the 10th of July ; he also said that he did not wish to draw on the London County Bank, ass he had only re cently opened his account there. On the Ist of July they received goods to the amount of 465/. 17s. Bd. He would not have supplied these goods were it not for the representations that had been made upon the 28th, and if he had not been led to believe that the goods were intended to be shipped. By Sir F. POLLOCK-He never knew Mr. Slay before that time. I am one of the prosecutors in the indictment. Mr. Law, my partner, is another. There are about five others. We make common cause and divide:the expenses. Mr. Holmes and Mr. King are also prosecutors. I first saw Mr. May at the Bank ruptcy Court in September, when he was examined by Sir. Keane. The examination concerned this case in a cer tain way, and I thought it right to be present ; but I ' did not suggest the examination. Parker was not to my knowledge made a bankrupt after that affair. If there had been any proceedings in bankruptcy, I, as a principal creditor, must have known it. I was not then fishing up evi dence for the present case. Parker was indicted at the Cen tral Criminal Court, but May was not known. It was after this I indicted Mr. May. I only know that May was before the Commissioners of Bankruptcy once ; but I have heard that he was there oftener. Messrs. Dixon and Overbury, my solicitors, conducted that proceeding. By Mr. H u at PH REY-There was ameeting of creditors in July, which Mr. Law, my partner, attended, but not I. The first cheque for 2001., was not returned, but was paid by my bank ers ; if it were returned, I know nothing of it. Sometimes we write the terms on the invoices, sometimes we do not. The first account with the Parkers, dated the 4th June, was paid ready money, 2i per cent discount.x The next transac tion, on June the 7th, due the second Monday "of July, was not paid. The next was June the Bth, for 481., due same day. The next, June 9th, 891. ; one bill paid June 11th ; 1501. was the next to be paid by a bill at three months ; next, Jnne 15th, 3591. 19s. 1 Id., was to be paid by 1001. on the 18th June, balance, a three months' bill. The 1001. was paid. The next was June 17th, 1001. 3s. 70., and paid in cash. But some of the words in the invoice are not in my writing. The next was June 18th. 631. 16s. 7d., to be on the same terms as that of the 15th, by a three months' bill. The next, 23d, 596/. Bs., and he paid 200!. cash on the 2d of July, the balance on the second Monday in August. I find some words in the terms not in my writing, but 1 believe the words were written by my clerk . . The next is dated 25th June, 154/. 4s. sd. which was paid. The next for 731. 18s. 6d. paid. The next July I, 861. Os. 2d. pay able the second Monday in August. The last was 221 ss. 6d. of sometime after. Of all those sums about 1 0001. would not he due till the month of August. Between the 28th June and the 3d July, I received not 727/. in cash, but I received several sums as already stated. I find, however, that my memoranda have been; altered by some other person. On the 26th June, there was a di-honoured cheque for 971., but Mr. Parker afterwpds paid it into the bank. John, alias Benjamin Parker, told me that he married Mrs. Bamfield's daughter, and that she was a lady of property. 1 have since found that he did marry that lady. I made in quiries of Mr. Silvester, to whom Arenfeld referred me, and learned that such was the case. He told me that Mrs. Bamfield was a person of large fortune. I made the inquiry on the 4th of June at Silvester's counting-house, in Lower Thames-street. Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES-I am a warehouseman. Sly usual terms were two-and-a-half cash, or three months' bill. I had been in business eighteen months. The goods had been bought principally from Hind and Co.. I stopped pay ment in 1841 for 7,0001. The balance due of 7801. caused the stoppage. Some of the goods had been paid for, and some not at the time of my stoppage. I might have answered ten refe rences for the Parkers. I might have answered a reference as late as July Ist. I did not know of any dishonoured cheque. Symonds never complained to me on the subject. He said he had a cheque marked which had been subsequently paid. I had known Arenfeld at Manchester. I knew that he had failed, and had been found guilty of conspiracy. I never pressed upon Arenfeld goods for the Parkers more than tradesmen usually do. The greater part of the goods we bought for the home trade. The Jury retired for a short time for refreshment. Before their return a conversat►on took place between Lord Denman and the Counsel engaged, as to the possibility of the case listing over two days. His LORDSHIP said that he would, if possible, finish the case in the course of the day. It examined by Mr. PLATT-It was first determined to in ilet May after the two Parkers had been 'ndicted at the Ohl Bailey. I heard that after they were indicted May had sold the goods. I stopped payment in August, 1841, about the time of Parker's bills becoming due. When Symonds asked a refer ence I showed him my ledger and told him all I knew of them. David Law—l was in partnership with the last witness in June and July last year. I went to the premises, 7i, Lower Thames -street, on 13th July. I saw a person there represent ing himself as 'Joseph Parker. He turns out to be John Parker. I asked if Mr. Parker was in, and he said "No ; he expected him shortly." Mr. Dixon, the solicitor, was with me, and he asked Joseph Parker if his brother's name was Benjaman Parker or John Parker, and he said his brother's name was Benjamin although he passed as John. Mr. Dixon asked if his name was Joseph Parker, he said Yes, and that he was not one of the firm. Dixon asked if all the goods were shipped and gone out of the country. He said yes, every piece of them. On the 14th of July 1 attended a meeting of creditors at Messrs. Dixon and Overbury's. May was there. I asked him how much money he had ad vanced on my goods. He said, 3,700/. on the goods he had had from John Parker. He thought the goods worth from 7,000/. to 8,000/. He said he thought the wine would produce enough to cover his advances. Some one asked if he would be at liberty to inspect the goods in May's possession. May said yes, he would do anything in his power to forward the views of the creditors, and that at all events the creditors should be at liberty to take back their own goods on payment of the advances upon them. Nothing was said on the subject of selling any of the goods except the wine. I called on May in August respecting bringing the affair to a conclusion. May said I am as anxious as ever to have it brought to a conclusion, but you have put it into the hands of a solicitor. The arrangement was that the wines should be sold. I understood from May on that occasion that the wines had not been sold. Cross-examined by the ArroltNEY-GENERAL.—The arrangement was that Msy should sell the wines, and when we knew the produce, we should see how much more would be wanted to pay him his advances. May said he wanted nothing more than the money he had paid on the goods. This was after May had been examined before the Commissioner. I was at a meeting of the creditors at the office of Dixon and Overbury afterwards. An opinion of counsel was read. I do not recollect that that opinion was that there was no case against May. The propriety of prosecuting May was discussed. It was mentioned that if May were acquitted he would bring an action for malicious prosecution, but I do not recollect that it. was said that in that case he would only get nominal damages. Dixon submitted to the creditors whether Ithey would include May in the indictment or not. I did not hear it said that May should be included, because if the bill were found he would most probably come forward and settle it. I did not hear Mr. Silvester's name mentioned. I do not recollect that any thing was said about the benefit of creditors as a ground for the prosecution. Mr. Fairlie was there ; he stated he would go no further with the prosecution, but I did not hear him state the grounds, and Mr. Boxer his attorney withdrew his name. Mr. May produced a book at the bankrupt's examination. No complaint was made while I was there that May had withheld any information. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I saw Joseph Parker for absiut five minutes on the 2d July; that was the first time I saw him. It was the same person I saw afterwards on the 13th July. On that occasion he expressed his surprise at his brother's conduct in assuming the name of John, while his name was Benjamin, and said, if his brother did not return that night, he (Joseph) would leave the premises. Benjamin did not come back while I was there. I never asked for Parker's accounts, and do not know of their ever having been asked for. I never interfered in the accounts with the Parkers myself. I left it all to Mr. Tarn. Re-examined by Mr. PLATT—I attended but two meetings of creditors. Neither of those meetings had been convened by the Parkers, nor were they present at either of them. I have heard that Mr. Boxer is related to Mr. May. I have seen Mr. Boxer here to-day. Richard Fennell—l ant one of the firm of Fennell and Sons, manufacturers of cotton yarn in Alderminbury./ Arenfeld called on us in June for samples of cotton yarn for India for the house of John Parker and Co., Lower Thames-street. He said that John Parker was a man of large property, that he had married a lady of large pro perty, and that he was a great shipper to India ; and that if my goods suited, he would purchase some to send out by every ship. I was referred to Tarn and Law. I was to be paid cash by a cheque on the London and Westminster Bank. I I went to Lower Thames-street, and asked to see Mr. John Parker ; and Benjamin Parker, now in Court, came forward. I asked if his name was John Parker, and he acquiesced by bowing. I told him my name—he said " I hope the goods will turn out well. You are to consider Arenfeld as my buyer, he will call to-morrow and give you an order."- He said they were for the India market. Arenfeld ordered nearly 4001. worth of goods, of which we supplied 316/. The last lot was sent in on the 3d July. I called about the 101. I was to have cash for my cheque the day after the place was shut up. I saw agentleman there but could get no satisfactory answer from him. The itiv nee was not sent to the Parkers for two or three days after the goods. On the 12th of July I went to May's warehouse. May is a woollen factor in Ca•eaton-street. It was after I had been to Thames -street. I told May I had called for some cotton goods of mine. I told im my name, and he said an attach ment had just come in. He admitted they were in his posses sion, but would not let me see them. He said he had a claim of forty or fifty pounds on them. H e said he had received them from John Parker, that he had no invoice, and understood that Parker had received them for wine. He said the attachment did not signify much that he should not give up the goods, for all the creditors should share and share alike. 1 offered to lodge a cheque in any bank for the amount May had advanced on my goods, and to idemnify hint if he would restore my goods. He said he could not think of doing so, but that he would let me know before they were sold. He said I need not snake myself uneasy ; there would be plenty of money for all. He said he had about 10,0001., and he had advanced 3,000/. on them. He said he had wine war rants to a large amount—from 3,000/. to 4,0001. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—This was about the 12th of July. , It was the same day as the attachment. I had net any com.nunication with other creditors at that time. I at tended at the meeting of creditors at Dixons and Overbury's. Mr. Boxer, the solicitor, Mr. May's brother-in-law, said that if we prosecuted May he would file bills in Chancery against all of us. I said I believed May was a guilty party, and that I would have nothing to do with the prosecution un- less May were included. I think Mr. Dixon said that it was Counsel's opinion that May was just as guilty as the others. I did not want Counsel's opinion to convince me of May's guilt.—( A laugh.) Cross-examined by Mr. Hu MPH REY. —The amount of the goods obtained we understood to be from 6,0001. to 11,000/. I heard nothing at all about any goods being paid for at auy one of the meetings.—(A laugh.) Mr. HuNIPHREY—Was it not stated that the amount of the debts of the Parkers was about 2,800/. ? Witness—l never heard the word debts mentioned. The goods the Parkers had swindled the creditors out of was, I un derstand from 6,0001. to 11,000/.—(A laugh.) There,was one person there whose goods were worth more than 5,000/. Re-examined—l never got my goods again. Joseph Scott—l am the agent for Holmes and Co., of King-street. I first heard of John Parker and Co. in July 1841. Holmes and Co. are general ware housemen. iOn 3d July I took samples to 71, Lower Thames-street. I had to wait some time, and then I saw a person calling himself Joseph Parker. He said, wait a few minutes, I expect my brother John in directly. Mr. John Parker soon after came in. He is now in Court. ( Witness identified Benjamin Parker as the person.) I shewed him samples of reticules. He said he had a gentleman from Port Philip that would be very likely to take them, and then he bought them. He said he would pay for them on the second Monday of the following month. He slid he was a general merchant, shipping different kind of goods to Port Philip, to Texas, and all round.—( A laugh)—and also to America. I sold his goods to the amount of 771. Bs. 4d. They were never paid for. I called at the warehouse again on the 6th of July. I again saw the one who called himself John Parker. I again sold him 1911. 4s. 104. worth of goods to be paid for on the 10th July. 1 saw Joseph on that occasion before 1 saw John. Mr. 1111311.11 REY here interfered and asked what paper it was the witness had in his hand. It turned out to be a copy of his deposition, which he said he had given the attorney on the 10th of January, when payment was refused. He was desired to put the paper in his pocket, and the examination was resumed. Joseph Parker told - me his brother was worth 20,000/. If I had been aware that the man passim , as John Parker was an uncertificated bankrupt 1 would not have parted with the goods. On the 10th of July Mr. Holmes and I went to Thames-street, and saw Joseph. I lolmes asked for his account, and Joseph said his brother al ways paid the accounts, and that he was at Brighton, and would be back the next morning, when the account would be paid. Cross-examined by Mr. BA LLANT , NX—I received that paper I have put, in my pocket from Mr. Holmes's attorney, about six or seven months ago, and have kept it ever since. I was told to examine it well. I have done so. I have read it fre quently since. Mr. Holmes was very angry with me about parting with the goods. Mr. BA L LAI•trINE—Are you sure that the younger Mr. Joseph spoke of his brother as John? Witness—Yes, he did. I never asked one of the Parkers to lend me 101., or any other sum. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendants. Lord DENMAN summed up, and the Jury, after a short con sultation, found a verdict against the two Markers of Guilty, the verdict against May having been already recorded. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 26. (Sittings at Guildhall.) DUNCAN V. BROADWOOD AND MILLER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the recovery of a sum of 1,0471., claimed by him as compensation for his services in superintending the Prince's Theatre, in Oxford street. It appeared that in the autumn of the year 1836, the late Mr. Ward, the well-known actor, had determined on converting the Queen's Bazaar, in Oxford-street, into a theatre, and had taken a lease of the premises from Mr. Hamlet, the proprietor, for that purpose. Mr. Dun can, the present plaintiff, who was the nephew of Mr. Ward, was employed by him to superintend the erection of the new building. The plaintiff was to be paid according to the usual charge of architects, 5 per cent. upon the builder's outlay ; and this per centage, with other charges, amounted to the sum which he now claimed. In the month of February, 1837, Mr. Broadwood, M.P. for Bridgwater, Mr. Miller, the present defendants, and other gentlemen formed a Com mittee of Management, and interfered to some extent in the direction of the undertaking. They had also become sub scribers to the theatre by purchasing debentures. The case having been thus stated for the plaintiff by Mr. Sergeant WILDE, evidence was produced to show that the Committee of Management had given a guarantee to the builder of the theatre, ➢lr. Barron, for the purpose of ensuring to him the payment of a portion of his expenses. Nir. KELLY stated for the defence that the Committee of Management ware in no way responsible for the expenses !of the undertakinc , ; they had entered into no contract with the plaintiff; and they had ever, been assured by the plaintiff him self that they should be liable for no expenses save the price of their own debentures. It was also proved in evidence that they had guaranteed his expenses to the builder to the amount only of the subscriptions they might receive. Before the evidence for the defence had been gone through, Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated he did not think he could keep up the case with any prospect of advantage to his clients. The case for the plaintiffs was therefore abandoned, and a verdict returned for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HOUSE. - - Multitudes assembled at the Mansion-house on Saturday, in consequence of the interest excited by a case in which three persons were charged with having committed a burglary and robbery, and three others with having committed a forgery on one of the bills which were the fruit of the robbery. Mr. Hobler, jun., stated the heads of the case for the pro secution. The premises of Mr, Ruffey, a merchant in Alark lane, had, he said, been broken open on the 26th of January last, and out of the iron safe, which was also broken open, were stolen three bills of exchange and a half of a 51. note, which had been deposited there. No more was heard of the affair until the 19th of the present month, when a young man, of the name of Wood, went to the counting-house of Mr. Johnson, of Fenchureh-street, wh o se acceptances the stolen bills were, and asked him whether there was not a bill of his due that day. Mr. Johnson, who had of course heard of the robbery, desired to see the bill before he could answer the question, and upon seeing it discovered at once that it was one of the stolen bills; he also observed that the name of Mr. Ruffey, to whom the bill was specially en dorsed, had been forged, in order, no doubt, to give the instru ment (*mosey. Inspector Walker, having received instructions, proceeded actively in the business, and succeeded in appre hending three men, named Saint, Clarke, and Davies, who were distinctly charged with burglary and robbery. These three men had, soon after the robbery, gone to a public-house in St. George's-fields, with their wives, and ran up a score of 255., as a security for which they left the identical half of the Si. note which had been stolen out of the safe along with the bills. As they did not return to take up the security, inquiry was made at the Bank, where the note was stopped, and it was soon as certained that the three before -mentioned prisoners were con cerned. Upon further inquiry it was found that Wills, Cun niogham, and Lloyd, the three persons charged with the for gery, had received the stolen bills from those charged with the robbery, and a regular connexion was established. It also was found that Lloyd had endeavoured to get the bill particularly alluded to negotiated through Wood, the individual who called upon Mr. Johnson, upon the subject. Mr. Johnson, of Fenchurch-street, deposed that he accepted a bill drawn by Mr. Ruffey, for 521. 103. 7d. ; he was applied to on the 19th inst. by a Mr. Wood, a bill-broker, to be in formed whether the signature to a bill, which he had taken, was his (the witness) or not; upon seeing it he informed Mr. Ruffey of what bad occurred, and Wood was immediately taken into custody. Mr. Stevens Wood, a bill-broker, deposed to having endea voured to get the bill discounted, which he had received from the prisoner Lloyd, but was unable to do so ; he had promised Lloyd to try other parties and kept the bill for that purpose, but as Lloyd did not return he took it to Mr. Johnson to know what to do with it. Before he would endeavour to get the bill cashed he required that it should be endorsed ; Lloyd to,k it for that purpose, and brought it back with Ruffey's name to it. Another witness, Fickard, said that the p r i soner D av i s wished him to go and read some bills for him, as -he could not read ; witness did so, the bill produced for 52/. 10s. 7d. was one of them'; there were two others similar. "J. Ruffey" was not written upon the one produced at the time; none were endorsed; all were payab e to Mr. Ruffey. Mr. Ruffey here produced duplicates of the stolen bills. Edward Davies, a clothes-dealer, said that Lloyd asked him to go to the bank with part of a Si. note to get it changed, and stated that one of his children set fire to it ; at the bank he was told the owner must make an affidavit of the fact ; Lloyd said he would make the affidavit, but he never returned. Parker, the waiter at the public-house in Moorfields, said that three of the prisoners, having taken refreshments at the house, left the half of a Si. note as security ; he afterwards gave it to Lloyd. The prisoners Saint, Clarke, and Davies, were then com mitted for the burglary and robbery, and Lloyd, Wills, and Cunningham were committed for, forging the name of Mr. Ruffey on the back of the bill. Stockley, who was charged with having converted to his own purposes French Dutch bonds to the amount of 1,2501., the property of Mrs. ,Molony, was fully committed for trial to Newgate. GUILDHALL. Andrew Johnson was placed at the bar, charged with steal ing a bible, of the value of 4s. tid., the property of Mr. Bar rett, bookseller, of Fleet-street. It appeared that the prisoner was engaged at the warehouse of Mr. Barrett as a porter. A great number of books were constantly lying about the warehouse, so that any of the men who felt inc.ined might easily take one away. The prosecutor had received a good character with the prisoner, and he paid him Bs. per week. The book in question had been pledged at a pawnbroker's shop in Farringdon-street. The prisoner said in his defence that he had nothing to de pend upon but the Bs. per week, and at the time of his com mitting the offence of which he stood charged, he was in dis tress, and therefore he took the book and pawned it. He was remanded till Tuesday next_ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 28, 1841. PRICES OF CANAL,OOCK,ASSUR- ANCT COMPANY SHAafi:S, Sec:Scc. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, FEB. 25.

Timothy Connor, No. 10, Little Shire-lane, was charged with having in his possession several gallons of illicit spirits.— Mr. William Bullen, the officer, stated that he had for a long time known the defendant as a dealer in, and manufacturer of, molasses spirits, for which he found a ready sale amongst the cheap gin sellers. Having heard that he had been offering a quantity of the rubbish to a respectable licensed victualler, he and Mr. Drew, after much trouble, found out his retreat, and, on searching his apartments, several jirs filled with stuff in imitation of brandy were found in a room where the defen dant's wife was in bed. Witness had since met with defen dant, who observed that he regretted that he was not at home when the detection was made, adding, that if he had he would have " marked" hint with something to show to the Com missioners. The Hon. Berkeley Paget—What do you suppose he meant by that? Mr. Bullen—l presume that he would have attempted to do either myself or Mr. Drew an injury. Connor—Arrah, me jewel; well, I niver ! Didn't 1 thin say I would give you something to take to the honourable Commis sioners, long life to them ? Mr. Mullen—No, certainly not. Mr. Mayow—Well, Tim, you and I are old acquaintances, and. perhaps, there is no harm in my asking you what you would have sent to the Commissioners, supposing the officer has put a wrong construction on your words ?—(Laughter.) Con nor—Faith, thin, Mr. Mayow, I cannot now tell you. Wasn't it Christmas time when they took away me property, and didn't I have plenty of good things in my place thin, which I could have made a present to a gentleman.—(Much laughter. ) Mr. Mayow—We know you too well, Tim. What is your defence ? Connor—Me defence ! Oth, thin, will not Mike Sul livan tell ye that I was only a lodger in the house. Mike (jumping into the witness-box)—By Jesus, and I will. The oath having been administered, Mr. MAyow ased Mike what he knew about the matter ? Mike—Matter did you say. There's nothing the matter with Tim.--( Roars of laughter.) Mr. MAYow.—I think you'll find out your mistake.—(A laugh.) Are you the master of the house where Tim lives ? Mike—An sure I am—here's me rint book (holding up a greasy penny memorandum book. ) Mr. MAyow—Does Tim lodge in your house now? Mike —Yes, yer Honour. Mr. MAyow—ln the same room as the spirits were found in ? Mike—Jist the same. Mr. MaYow—Then how can you stand there, and tell the Court that Tim was not your lodger when the seizure was made? Mike (after hesitating)—He was a lodger of a lodger of mine. —(Much laughter.) Mr. MA vow—What, in the same room? Mike—That's just the thruth, me lord. Mr. Mallow—How many beds in the room? Mike—Only one. Mr. 111 Avow—How many laid upon it ? Mike—There was one tenant, Dennis, and his wife and two children, and Mike and his wife, me tenant's lodgers.—(Bursts of laughter. ) Mr. MAYON' (to Tim)—You have had many lucky escape., in this Court, but this time you have outdone yourself. Have you any more witnesses? Connor—Only to karacter (cha racter), Mr. Mayow. Mr. MAYow—Then call me first. Connor—Och, be the powers, that won't do at all. Mr. Morrow-1 think not.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 26. IN RE HENRY SAUNDERS. The insolvent in this case had been a boot and shoe-maker in Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, and subsequently carried on the same business in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. He was opposed in person by several wholesale boot and shoemakers, from whom he had obtained a large quantity of goods. His petition to be discharged was supported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on behalf of a person named Simpson, who was the plaintiff in an action for damages against the insolvent. All the money now available to his creditors did not amount to 51., whilst his debts were bove 9001. Mr. Burdon said he was a wholesale ladies' boot-maker, and the insolvent being recommended to him by a person named Clarke, he let him have a quantity of goods for which he re ceive,l a bill of exchange, and when it became due he found the acceptor of it to be confined in the Fleet •prison, and the endorser in Whitecross-street. In reply to the Court, the witness said shortly after the in solvent got possession of the goods, he found out that he had passed through this Court in the years 1836 and 1840 ; so sp s sho e rei neidsnhewdt nhhet ei nas tt dischargei client'soo takenn ns,t hteecl wa7t for ihmhes that this was his third appearance to take the benefit of the Act. Mr. Harwood, of Fore-street, said the insolvent got a quan tity of boots and shoes from him, cn the representation that a person named Gadson was his (the insolvent's) brother-in-law, and would he security for the amount of the goods received. -The insolvent was examined by Mr. Harwood to establish the fact of having made his (Mr. Harwood's) foreman drunk, for the purpose of taking away the goods, and also to show that below ah t Theia;sicnnrysg.

Warrants were subsequently issued at the G u ildhall , when the sitting Alderman dismissed the charge. Mr. Simp son afterwards brought at action against the i nso l vent f or fa l se imprisonment, and was awarded 201. damages. A number of witnesses having been examined in support of the Learned Counsel's statement, the insolvent was likewise examined, and flatly contradicted their testimony. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said there could be no doubt but there must be gross perjury on one side, and if Mr. Nicholls ~ s ish e d he should adjourn the case for the pro duction of further evidence. After a long conversation between the Learned Counsel on both sides it was determined that the insolvent should take judgment to-day.

" TIIE TABLET" SPLIT.—A respectably attired man named Hawkins, who bore the marks of ill-usage on his countenance, and whose back was completely covered with mud, was placed at the bar under the following circumstances : Police Sergeant F 4, stated that about eight o'clock this morning, having received intimation of a riot and great dis turbance taking place in 13rydgei-street, he, in company with some other policemen proceeded to the spot ; having arrived opposite the office of the Tablet newspaper, he found there a crowd of about •200 or 300 persons collected, amongst whom were about 50 men of the lowest class armed with bludgeons and other weapons, with which they were demolishing the front of the Tablet office, having already broken several windows, and succeeded ig tearing down the shutters ; though the Tablet office appeared to be the principal object of attack, the whole was one general riot, and blows were freely given and exchanged amongst the crowd. When the police advanced, the men who were most actively engaged in the melee retreated into the office of another Tablet, where they remained secure from the aggressions of the police ; being unable to secure the ringleaders, the police felt it their duty to disperse the mob outside, and seeing the prisoner with marks about him, which indicated that he had been (how ever unwillingly) a party in the strife, they desired him to move on ; be did not accede to their request, and they took him to the station-house. The prisoner, in reply, stated that he was coming down Brydges-street, in company with two friends, to look for a cab. Whilat they were looking about them, a leg of a table, which had been violently thrown by some unseen hand, struck him on the back of the head, and felled him to the ground. He knew nothing of any of the parties engaged in the strife, but having been grossly ill-treated, he followed the crowd, in order to ascertain, if possible, who it was that had assaulted him. The police coming up, ordered him to move on ; to this he objected, for the reason just mentioned. They then said that if he would not go away, he must go with them ; to this he at once consented, thinking probably that that would be as good a way as any to enable him to find out the parties who had assaulted him. Two other witnesses, named George Mason and Benjamin Thompson, most respectable men, who had been in company with the prisoner during the whole of the transaction, corro borated his statement, which at once met with the full credence of the Magistrate. • The policeman, in answer to a question from the Magistrate relative to the origin of the riot, stated that some time ago there was a weekly paper started on Roman Catholic prin ciples, calved the Tablet, but there had lately been a split be tween the editor and the proprietor, or some of the parties concerned, in consequence of which this morning appeared a new paper, under the title of the True Tablet. lie pre sumed that this had caused a considerable jealousy in the heart of the proprietor of the Tablet, and that this disturbance had resulted from it—the men with the bludgeons having been en gaged by the one paper to demolish the opposition " stoup and coup," imagining, we suppose, that a little gentle physical force reasoning in this instance would be preferable to strong moral force argument. The MacaszanTr. at once dismissed the prisoner, and ex pressed his regret at the circumstance, as well as the happi ness he should feel to assist him in discovering and punishing the man who had so wantonly assaulted him. The prisoner thanked the Magistrate, and expressed his de termination to institute a search after the unknown. John Davis, the driver of cab No. 1,996, was charged with attempting to extract more than his fare from Mrs. Meggy, the wife of a barrister. The complainant stated that she and another lady got into the defendant's cab, in Trinity -square, and desired him to drive them a mile in the direction of Cheapside. He directly ordered them to get out, saying that he would take no eightpenny fares. Witness told him rot to be impertinent, upon which he said he only could be fined. She told him that she would certainly have him summoned. He said that he only could be impri soned, and that he would sooner be locked up in a gaol than drive such as they were, who stuck up themselves for ladies. The witness added that she and her friend afterwards got out ; and he then called after them, and put up his hand to his nose, by way of derision, desiring them to " take it out of that." 'fhe defendant was fined 40s. ; and the Magistrate desired that a copy of the evidence be sent to the registrar of hackney carriages. THAMES POLICE. A young man named John Thurstell, a journeyman baker, wasplaced at the ha. before Mr. BALLANTINE, charged with robbing his employer's till. Samuel Rayner, 46, Church-road, St. George's-in-the - East, stated that the prisoner had been in his employ about three weeks. A few nights since prosecutor and his wife had counted up a quantity of silver, which was taken up stairs, leav ing in the till 13 fourp, nny pieces and a 6d. The shop was then lo led up, and they retired to rest. On the following morning he discovered that the money left in the till had been removed. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, whose duty it was to be at work at an early tour in the morning. Prosecutor resolved upon marking some money, and on Friday evening placed in the till three shillings, four sixpences, four or five fourpenny pieces, ten penny pieces, and forty-six halfpence, all marked, and ninety-six halfpence and thirty-four farthings not marked. On going into the shop this morning he counted the money, when there was found to be Is. 90. missing, all in coppers. The prisoner shortly afterwards went out to get his breakfast, and was seer to enter a pork-shop opposite, where he paid two of the marked halfpence. The prisoner was given into custody, and on being searched at the station -house twelve more of the marked halfpence were found upon him, which the prosecutor s e w it e h l e l r as ha t v h e e g p o a t r t lo h u ro r- u t g lo h or a identified by the marks. In answer to a question from Mr. Ballantine, the prosecutor said that the prisoner had not access to the shop early i n th e whichori morning, into as it il v , a s s o al that he window out of the bakehouse, or had a false key by which he let himself through the parlour info the shop. d h . finding the marked money now prouuce up n im. Police Sergeant K I, deposed to searching the prisoner, and The prisoner who denied that the money belonged to hi s h l locked, k musted, a master, was fully committed for trial. c alves were the only descrip tion old at high prices.

Our land and minerals are still here ; our mills and workshops are not thrown down; much of our (capital is :yet at home ; our ',hard-working men are all ready to start labour ; and thou sands are waiting the first gleam of hope to embark in a variety of speculations. All we want is, to defeat a few selfish aristocratic obstructives, who have set their interests in opposition to the people's. It is a painful crisis, but one which we must look boldly in the face. Nothing will remain for the people but poverty, and starvation, and exile, unless they get the mastery of the aristocracy. The Parliament has decided that we shall have dear bread, and that it has no remedy for our commercial embarrass ments. It is not the people's Parliament, it is the landlords' Parliament, and has no sympathy with the people. Many have long since been tired of peti tioning, but still they have done good, by giving them an opportunity of mocking the people. What is wanted now is unity and self-denial. Let all enemies of bad government, and all genuine lovers of liberty, forget their animosities, and make common cause against a common foe. This effected, is it possible that empty titles can resist the will of an united nation ? This is a solemn moment. There are two powerful reforming parties in the State each, contending for important changes ; but, being disunited, will probably accomplish nothing. This disunion is the triumph of the oppressor. These bodies are the Chartists, and the Corn-law repeaters. The enemy at present has possession of the field ; each party may charge in vain, for without a perfect bond, all their valour and energy will be scattered to the winds. Im mortal fame will rest upon that man's memory who can now step forward and organize such a union as shall prove well based and permanent • and unworthy the name of Englishman be he who should at this crisis be so impolitic as to impose the slightest obstacle. Fond as I am of the sweets of domestic life, and the comforts of home, no one has naturally a greater reluctance to public agitation than myself. When at all engaged in public, I have always felt the greatest happiness at those meetings which had a direct tendency to improve the morals of the people ; and this I hope I shall never abandon. But there seems a prior question even to this, and that is, how shall the people continue to exist ? Nobody knows the extreme misery of the people but those who personally visit ; nobody can imagine the privations and hunger to which they are ex posed ; no man can believe, unless he see with his own eyes, the shocking condition of poor people's bedding ; how wretchedly off they are for want of clothing ; and the sickness and mortality which are found in their houses ; and few can conceive how utterly powerless all institutions now are for educating their children, or main taining any proper respect for good morals. Sur rounded as I am with poverty, overwhelmed with the cries of hunger and destitution, and utterly hopeless of any relief from the legislature, I am now ready to co-operate in any measure that affords the , slightest chance of giving relief to our unhappy country. A NATIONAL UNION . must be formed, a comprehensive plan of agitation must be agreed upon ; self-denial must be. ,practised ; every one must forget and forgive old offences, and begin in earnest to work out his country's salvation. In the mean time let all Reformers be determined to keep the peace, and to refuse the leadership of every man who would incite them to any illegal act.—The Struggle.

The military hospital is damaged, several houses are entire! destroyed, and others much injured. The bath-house appears to have escaped. Two children have perished, one in the arms of its mother, who only saved herself by taking shelter in the oven, whence she was released after being confined for two hours. The rest of the family at the moment of the avalanche were in a contiguous barn, which was not touched.

AMERICAN NEWS. The St. Nicholas packet, which arrived on Sunday from New York, at Havre, brings news from the United States of the 2d of February. The recent failure of several Philadelphia Banks hhd caused the greatest alarm among the merchants. The political state of affairs is not more consolatory. The following are extracts from the picture which the Courier of the United States of the let of February draws of the debates in the Congress : " Our readers know that a petition from a deputation of the Federal Union was presented (on the 24th of Jan.) to the Chamber of Representatives by Mr. John Quincy Adams. It was signed by 27 citizens of Massachusetts, requiring that measures be immediately taken to effect the amicable dissolu tion of the Union, because the benefits resulting from it are not reciprocal, the resources of one portion being sacrificed to support the views of another, and because if this course is per sistedin, it will end in the general destruction of the nation." This petition fell like a bomb sent into the Congress. 1 t drew down en Mr. Adams a storm of anger and menaces. Some demanded the expulsion of the traitor ; then out of respect for the offices he had formerly held, and out of pity for his grey hairs, it was proposed only to pass a solemn vote of censure upon him. The most violent debates arose on this question ; the Chamber divided into three parties—one, consisting of the representatives of the Southern States wished to punish to the utmost the fanatic champion of the abolition of slavery ; the second, consisting of the representatives of the North, took part with the illustrious accused ; while the third, which was the wisest, but by far the least numerous, urged that they should not do the petitioners and their accomplices! the honour of passing a vote of censure on them, but rather bury in con tempt and oblivion this seed of discord in the Union. " The vote which will end this deplorable diseicsison ao6s not seem doubtful, a majority of 15 or 18 will declare that that there is reas,n to reprimand Mr. Adams, but it will be a fatal triumph, which, if It does not break the federal bond, will show its weakness."

It is matter of surprise to many that after the enquiry instituted by the Commander.in-Chief, in reference to the Vindictive having got aground on the Dean Bank, and which resulted, as we understood, in the exonerating from all blame those in command, that a court-martial has been ordered to try the Captain. We do not pretend to know all the springs of action in such matters, and therefore leave it with our readers to draw their own inferences. Time proves all things.—Hampshire Independent. A Paris Corrrespondent of the Augsburg Gazette writes on the 7th inst. :—" M. Guizot lately addressed to the English Cabinet a note founded on the release of the Marabout, pointing out certain modifications as necessary to be made in the Treaty of December 25, before it could be ratified by France. New negotiations must be opened, and the Plenipotentiaries of the other contracting Powers will have to apply for further instruc tions; so that several months must elapse before all the parties can be again of accord." GEESE V. TURKEYS.—About a century ago the Lord Orford made a large bet with another Nobleman that a flock of geese would beat an equal number of turkeys in a race from Norwich to London. The event proved the justness of his Lord. ship's expectations, for the geese kept on the road with a steady pace, but the turkeys, as evening approached, flew to roost in the trees adjoining the road, from which the drivers found it very diffi. cult to dislodge them ; in consequence of which the gees. arrived at their destination two days before the turkeys. The requisition in course of signature in the city, calling on the Lord Mayor to call a public meeting of the liverymen, citizens, and householders, to take into consideration the necessity of a petition to the Queen, or to either House of Parliament, relative to the proposed measure of Sir It. Peel on the Corn.laws, has already received nearly a thousand signatures. _ _ KIDWELLY.-The ceremony of laying the founda tion.stone of the new Viaduct now erecting, near the River Gwendraeth Fawr, near this town, took place a few days ago. A structure which no doubt will prove all important to this long. neglected district, and render valuable many hundred acres of the finest marsh land in the kingdom, and will connect the whole of the mineral districts of this fine county, and open a communication to the commercial world long sought for.—Cambrian. THE INDIAN MAIL.-It was the practice some months ago, and may be still, that the Indian despatches for the British Government were delivered at Marseilles to our Foreign office messenger and an agent of the French Post-office. On ar rival at Paris the English messenger was not allowed to proceed immediately on with them to London—no, he must wait for the estafette ; but, what was more extraordinary still, he was not al. lowed to have in the interim the custody of the despatches. They were seized on by the Paris Post-office authorities, and so detained until the departure of the estafette. There were no open grounds for this detention of our despatches, and the suspicion was, therefore, natural that the proverbial dexterity of the Paris Post-office was exercised in opening the confidential despatches of an Indian Governor. We know well that such a suspicion did exist, andt hat an intelligent agent of the British Govern. ment suggested that the despatches should be enclosed in boxes so constructed as that it would be impossible to open them without its being instantly discovered that they had been opened. We chanced to have an opportunity of examining the proposed box, and cer tainly it was full of ingenious contrivances. We know not whe ther the French Government has as yet relieved itself from this dm reputable suspicion, but this we do know, that the boxes contain. ing the confidential despatches, sent from London to India, are en. closed in iron boxes which it seems to us almost impossible to vio late. The lids close down by springs which cannot be reached from without, and upon their arrival in India they have to be en tirely broken up with hammers before their contents can be ex tracted. But the grand question is, why did the French Govern ment detain so tong in their Cabinet Noir the confidential des patches of the British Governors in India 7—Sunday Paper. INcENDIARism.—Some villain, on Monday night last, set fire to a rick of wheat, containing about 50 bushels, the property of Mr. Major, of Gadlys, in the parish of Llangynwycl, Glamorgansk ire, and it was almost entirely destroyed.— Welsh man. A worthy Boniface at Newcastle, a day or two ago, purchased, " under the rose," what he supposed was a hen phea sant, (now out of season by act of Parliament) but on proceeding to have it dressed for supper, he discovered that it was " all outside show," its internal organisation being composed of straw, with a stone for ballast. Since the affair has got wind, Boniface himself has been well "roasted," instead of his bird.—Stq a trordshirs Mercury. fi x 's 'state s ' Parties any b ferep e - , —IFE Professor o t.l ro A 4: lat N TA ktid .), Ith ir4 1 1 3. an m t , 0 „ 1 ..
