The Sun. — London, England, 1842-01-01 00:00:00

MORNING SUN p rice is dependent upon supply and demand. If an article is scarce in the market, however small the defi ciency may be, the price of all the stock in the market is raised. In lake meaner, if there be a surplus, how ever small that surplus may be, it affects not merely , the surplus, but the whole of the commodity, which is ; thereby reduced in price. Nox, we can show by sta tistical facts and irrefutable documents, that since the year 1815, there lies been a constant introduction of self-acting machinery, or machinery which imposed greater labour on the smaller number of adult opera tives retained ; thus cheapening the cost, and h.- creasing the amount of production. And what has been the consequence ? Why, exactly i❑ proportion as this as taken place, the profits of the capitalist and the wages of the labourer have regularly de creased ; until at length, in 1E3.3, we received no more money for three times the amount of raw material manu factured, than we received in 181' for the one-third. This result, in our opinion, is clearly traceable to the unregulated use and extensive introduction of machinery which has either superseded adult labour entirely, or replaced it by the cheaper labour of women and children. What is now the consequence? Throughout the manu• facturing districts mills are nearly closed. Inc' capi taliA end middle Cht3SCS are in ditliculties—insolvent or bankrupt ; while the operatives are in a state of desti tution which must make every heart bleed, and which arises from causes over which they themselves have no controul. Now, if this insane course had be•el checked, if over production had been discouraged by wise laws, sod a prudent system of trade pursued, wages end profits would have been better,and employment more permanent anti more equally diffused over the year. Fur these rea sons, Sir Robert, we believe that the dictates ot' sound political wisdom coincide with the dictates of humanity, Morality, and religion, in calling upon us to retrace our steps, and arrest the progress of a system which is spreading disease, disorganization, and disaffection, in the tactory districts. As a proof that we are not over stating the facts, we beg to present you, Sir Robert, with one illustration of many which might be offered. It is a printed copy of the Report of the Unemployed Operatives' Enumeration Committee of Leeds, in which a'detailed statement of the condition of the operatives in the several wards of that to.vn, the emporium of the woollen district, is given. The summary of that ap palling statement is, that nearly 20,000 human beings are now living upon an average weekly income of I 1 Id. per head. We leave to your own judgment what must be the ultimate end of such a state of things." Sir ROBERT, taking the docu►nent, said, " I am sorry to say that I have already seen this mclencholy statement in manuscript, through the kindness of Sir James Graham, to whom it was presented by Mr. B'ckett. lam deeply grieved by the knowledge of such an amount of suffcricg, and sympathise most sin cerely with the condition of the people as there de scribed. It is indeed very distressing, and some effi cient remedy is most desirable." The DEPUTATION—The requirements of humanity imperatively deinand it. No system which entails upo❑ the great bulk of the community such suffering ought to be permitted to exist ; such a baneful influence (eight not to go unchecked, whatever reasons, political or economical, may be adduced in its behalf. Sir ROBERT PEEL then directed the conversation to the broad question of machinery, which, he said was one deserving of the greatest consideration. 'cis, DEPUTATION said, " We will not attempt to conceal from you, Sir Robert, our opinion that, in order to meet the case fully and fairly, the enactment of other and more comprehensive measures is indis pensably necessary. A ten-hours Bill ten years ago might and would have produced much more benefit than it can now produce. In the interval a vast amount of automaton power has been called into ex istence. It appears by the reports of the Factory In spectors that between the years 1835 and 1839 the horse-power increased at least one-half, while, so far from the new machinery calling new manual labour into exercise, the fact was, that the number of spinners in Manchester required to work the enlarged and increased machinery was not more than one-third of the number previously employed. For such a state of things it would be very unwise, and a concealment of the truth, to say that a ten-hours Bill would be a complete and perfect remedy ; but it would, at lc at, be a step in the right road. To insure effective relief from the dangers and evils by which we are now surrounded, bolder and more comprehensive measures most assuredly are requisite ; and if you, Sir R. Peel, will excuse us for stepping beyond the legitimate boundaries of' our mission, we will tell you our opnions as to those measures. We have conic to you in the spirit of friendship—not to dictate or dogmatise—neither have we come to find fault, without suggesting such a remedy as appears to us capable of alleviating the evil ; and we alto come free from all party feeling or preju dices. We nra sick of party nicknames and party contests, for party purposes. We are sick of the ever lasting confusion and bad feeling arising from these contests, and are prepared to award our confidence, support, and gratitude, to any Government, or set of rue (no matter what their party name may be), who will stow by their ac ions that they sympathise with our wrongs and our seffe.rings, and are honestly desirous aremoving them. We venture to recommend, for the reasons laid before yell at length, the pessing, of the Ten Hours Bill, and to accompany it either by' the total repeal of the Nee Poor-la•w, or by such an altera tion of it as will render it applicable to the nainufactur iog districts, in which it is at this moment practically inoperative, and in winch we defy any Government ever to enforce it. Roesner—Well, gentlemen, I have listened with deep interest to y our statements, and feel obliged by your waiting on me. I confess that there is much force iu what you have advanced, and that the evils you complain of are manifold and great, especially those which press upon the manufacturing operative. I also fear that an extension of our manufactures will not afford the relief desired ; for past experience, I think, Shows that such an extension would only bring into play niore machinery, and not employ manual labour in any thing like the rate of the increase in the machine de partment. Of course I cannot pledge myself to any particular line of action in respect to the measure you advocate. But I shall give the subject that full and attentive consideration which its importance and various bearings deserve, and should I conic to a different con clusion to that you hold, I shall do so with a confident reliance o❑ the intelligence, moderation, and good feel. ine vou have now displayed, assured that these conclu sions and the reasons I may adduce for them will re ceive a calm and impartial examination. The DeetnreertoN repeated that they had no wish to draw from the Premier any premature avowals of his policy. Their sole object was to make a true and full statement of the condition of those whose interests they represented in the spirit of friendshie to all parties. • Trey sought not the injury of any class, but the welfare of all : and they believed that the policy and measures • they recommended scot Id insure this commendation. , They wished it to his understood that they had no anti- , r eally whatever to the masters—no desire to injure them. They neither accused them of selfishness nor cruelty. It was the system which made them what they were ; and the object the Deputation had in view was to alter the system in as gradual and beneficial a manner for ail parties as possible. 'The Deputation then rose to take leave, observing that they had some thoughts of waiting upon Sir • J ames Graham, and asked Sir Robert if it would be ad- , visable or necessary ? To which he replied, " Cer taints, ; I think you had better see Sir James, and also Mr. Gladstone." Sir Robert immediately wrote notes of introduction to those two gentlemen, after which, he most courteously basic the Deputation farewell, again expressing the satisfaction the interview had afforded him. The impression left on the minds of every one of the Deputation on retiring was, that Sir R. Peel is fully aware of the great source of our evils at the present lament, and that lie sincely sympathises with the work ing -classes, GEORGE A. FLEMING. .TOSHUA HOBSON. JOHN LEECH. MARK CRABTREE.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ['non TIM DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. LORD ASHBURTON'S MISSION TO THE UNITED STATES. TIMES.—It gives us much pleasure to announce, that the It.ght Hon. Lord Ashburton, at the request of her Majesty's Government, is about to proceed to the United States on a spec ial mission, with the object of settling all existing differences between that country and our own Lordship, who will sail in a few weeks, bad been tasked to undertake this service, and had consented to do so, before the President's Message had been received, so that the mission in question, whatever be its character or results, has been had re course to, wholly irrespective of anything contained or omitted in that document. The step itself, we think, is a wise one. Without at all presuming to imagine that it has originated in any humble suggestions of ours, we may nevertheless remind our readers, that only a few weeks ago, we strenuously urged the peculiar propriety of making a special effort, at the present time, to re move every remaining ground of dispute, inasmuch as the introduction of new elements of irritation con tingent upon further delay, might eventually render an amicable adjustment unattainable, and involve both countries in all the horrors of war. We do not know that any great expense will be incurred by this mission ; but even if there should, the vast importance of its ob ject, which cannot possibly be overrated, is more than sufficient, terminate how it may, to warrant the ex penditure of a much larger sum than is likely to be required. Nor is it a trifling merit on the part of her Majesty's present Ministers that they have thus undertaken an enterprise which, be it success ful or not, is manifestly adopted on the most rational data, with the best possible intentions. Two things, at all events, are clearly demonstrated by the appointment of this special mission —in the first place, that the Conservative Government, instead of imitating the Whigs in prosecuting a series of speculative political experiments, are steadily address ing themselves to the repair of such practical evils as, by engendering a want of mercantile confidence, ope rate injuriously upon British commerce ; and secondly, that Sir Robert Peel's Ministry are intent, by all prac tical means, upon maintaining the blessings of peace. Neither must it be supposed that Lord Ashburton's mission necessarily implies any deficiency in the instruc tions or powers of the American Minister at her Ma jesty's Court. Those instructions and powers, we have no reason to doubt, are of a plenary order ; while, from the known discretion and ability of Mr. Everett, as well as from the very short period during which his Excellency has been in this country, the presumption is, that, for various satisfactory reasons, it has appeared to him that the disputed points between America and ourselves had better be entirely committed to Lord Ashburton and the Wash ington Cabinet. The appointment of a special Am bassador from this country, is, of itself; a piece of marked respect to the United States Government, which can hardly fail of being duly appreciated and of paving the way for an am i ca bl e nego ti a ti o n. A friendlyintercourse, too, between our special Envoy and the leading state smen o f A mer i ca , di c t a t e d by a cordial anxiety to complete an infrangible bond of amity, cannot but be attended with beneficial results. All that both parties contend for, may not be im mediately secured ; but, by the reasonable conces sions likely to be yielded without dishonour on either side, the main points in dispute may be so reduced in importance as to ren2er future surrenders more advantageous to each than a dogged adherence to mare unsubstantial punctilios. The selection of Lord Ashburton for this delicate mission appears to us, upon the whole, to be deserving of commendation. His Lordship is, by universal acknowledgment, the prince of British merchants. With immense mercantile inte rests extending over the whole world—interests which, while peculiarly identified with America, cannot suffer interruption in any quarter without incurring a serious injury in their entire range, his Lordship has the ad vantage of proceedi ng to t h e U n i te d S tates , no t on l y with the highest claims upon the consideration of that trading community, hut with a direct personal con cern in the maintenance of general peace. Thus, while the independence and integrity of Lord Ashburton place him above the suspicion of unduly yielding to extravagant demands which he can well at ord to resist his Lordship's large and intimate con nexion with American commerce may naturally be sup posed to deter him from all such petty sticklings as may obviously tend to interrupt it. The Noble Lord, besides, is thoroughly acquainted with the whole ques tion touching the right of search, as affecting, among all nations, the perfectly compatible interests of hu manity and trade. That Lord Ashburton's appoint ment will be acceptable to the United States Govern ment may be fairly inferred from Mr. Everett's concur rence ; and we certainly augur from it the most auspi cious results. Heaven grant that we be not disap pointed ! CHRUNICLE.—With to-day, Eighteen hundred and forty-one leaves us to join " the years beyond the flood." Many years have quitted the world with a more obvious parting benediction on humanity, and with apparently brighter prospects for their successors. The first light of Eighteen hundred and forty-two will dawn on many a sad spectacle of want, wretchedness, and despair. And it will shine on the selfish power which has caused that suffering dreaming yet of resisting the claims of jus tice. Two legacies are bequeathed by the dying year which will suffice to make it memorable. It has be stowed upon us the rather questionable boons of Toryism in the State and Puseyism in the Church. We do not regard either of them, considered in itself, as a " charter and freehold of rejoicing," or desire them for ourselves and our heirs to have and to hold for ever. Never theless, like other venomous things, there may be me dicinal virtue in them, and a jewel in the head of the ugly toads. Each has probably work to do, which could not be so well performed by better hands. The Whig Ministry fell, not by the timidity with which it had been reproached, but by the boldness of an attack in which the people were not ready to sustain it vigorously at the moment. Preparation is always re quired for the public mind, to enable it to bring the knowledge it may long have possessed, and the feelings it may long have experienced, to bear upon a legislative i question. Sir Robert Peel knows this, and therefore keeps back his plans, that the least possible opportunity may be afforded the nation for their full discussion and just appreciation. The Whigs were, doubtless, aware of it too ; but they ranted to secure the discussion which he desires to preclude. Their resignation must have been foreseen and determined on from the moment they chose their measures. It was, and is, their only path to the triumph of their principles of commercial l refoim. Already the effect is evident. A general election has been carried triumphantly in favour of monopoly ; and before Parliament has assembled for any other purpose save that of the seizure of office by the victorious party, it is confessed that the principle which carried the election must undergo modification. The election banners of Corn-law immutability are scarcely furled, when its champions declare that change is in evitable. The old year has put in the Tories ; but it has put them in for the work of commencing, if not of completing the break up of the food monopoly'. The new year, before it is very much advanced, will see them coming, with laggard step, wry faces, and unwill ing hands, to their enforced task. Come to it they must. They are the slaves of fate. They have ex pelled a Ministry for frowning at the fabric of the Corn laws, and themselves are doomed to pull out the first stow!, a signal of approaching demolition. And they have not now to deal with a Government, fettered and enfeebled by its position as a Government, and with divided aid from its own party. They have no allies in the camp of Opposition. Neither Parliamentary tactics nor successful contests have availed to stop public dis cussion. It is their turn to' offer compromises, instead of refusing them ; and in their turn to be refused. The cry for justice swells on every side. No former propo sitions, or disturbing forces, entangle or abate the de mand. This is what they have won for themselves. For this, did the old year turn out the Whigs. We cannot interrupt with complaints the peace of its dying day. Better the Tories restored, than the Corn-law question not in the advanced position it has gained. Nor have we more regret about Puseyism, which the year has dandled into a sort of vampire vigour. They sound rather oddly those plms for razing Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and half Lon don, that the inhabitants may be located in villages each with a squire and parson for its guidance, and those claims of divine power over states and indivi duals. But affected superstition may act as a balance to tae fanaticism that threatened to inconvenience the business of the country. For any church establish ment to be really national, in a reading and inquiring age, it must allow considerable diversity of opinions. In the present Church of England, extreme opinions are exhibiting themselves in collision ; but they are ' not there legitimately. They are there in defiance of the baffled articles for securing uniformity of faith. limy point to the alternative of either comprehension, or expulsion. W e shall enter, then, not unhopefully upon the labou rs o f t h e com i ng year . Wh a t ever it rn ty do with parties, the precedent events are not unpropitious to its doing much for the principles which alleviate the evils of society, and advance its prosperity and happiness. GLOBE.—As to the candidate most suited to effect the great object for which eve r y D u bli n Lib era l should strive, we feel the more unw illi ng to offer an opinion, from our recollection of the injury inflicted on the Liberal cause at the last election by an un founded statement, which obtained the currency of truth, as to the Duke of Leinster'i son having con sented to be put in nomination. No such blunder as this must be allowed to mar the fair prospects of the Liberal cause in the impending contest. Whoever may he thought of by the Liberal Committee, a prompt and decisive reply must be required from the party named. In fixing th e " mus t fix ; and having made their choicu and obtained the consent of the party, "union" must then be the watchword ; and to well-regulated and well-di rected effort, in which every man must be engaged with an energy of purpose whi c h implies that the cause is written upon his heart, and that success can only be achieved by his acting as though the result de pended on him alone, each Liberal must devote himself. Such is the spirit in which the election must be contested on the part of the Dublin Liberals ; and triumph will crown it with its due reward. if we doubt the propriety of putting Lord Morpeth in nomination, it is because we fear that his Lordship's ab sence from the country, and the knowledge . of his recorded declaration that he will not in sit in Parliament except far Yorkshire, may dispirit some of the electors by in ducing an apprehension that, if elected, he will not tike his seat. Of Lord Morpeth's suitableness there can be but one opinion. The services he rendered to Ireland as Chief Secretary have earned for him a name which is associated with all that is dear to Irish pa triotism ; and his election would be an appropriate mode of recognizing his services and personal worth. Whether these considerations should be deemed sufficient to counterbalance the disadvantages of his Lordship's absence from the country—and the doubt whether, if elected, he would rescind his purpose of re maining out of Parliament until again returned for York shire, must be left with those whose better means of forming a correct judgment on the case, will give their counsel a weight which we cannot expect will be attach ed to our opinion. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—Among the paragraphs in President Ty ler's Message there is one which may be considered sa tisfactory to the holders of American securities, not on account of its giving them any legal advantage, but because it is a gratuitous expression of moral feeling. After declaring that the States alone are responsible for their own indebtedness, the President adds that he can do no more than express a belief that each State will feel itself bound, by every consideration of honour and interest, to meet its engagements with punctuality, remarking that the failure of one State should in no de gree affect the credit of the rest, and that the present non-paying States have such resources that they will most likely redeem their obligation at no distant time. That the want of credit in one State should not affect the credit of another, is just enough ; but the European capitalists have not been misled by any notion of a real connexion between them ; but, hearing repu diation advocated by the highest authorities in one State, have feared lest it should prove infectious, unless there were some cleat guarantee of a feeling of higher morality existing in the Union. Hence this passage in the mouth of the Executive is particularly oppor tune, as it shows that any other conduct but prompt payment on the part of the Sates will be con sidered dishonourable in the highest quarters. And here it may be remarked, that in all Mr. Tyler's acts hitherto there is an exhibition of great conscientious ness. de has been accused of wavering and of tam pering with opposite parties, but still it should be no ticed that, under the most trying circumstances, when ever he has made up his mind that a certain course of conduct is wrong or unconstitutional, he has invariably avoided it, however industriously he may have been beset. In the present case of the State obligations he has made an admission which can leave no doubt of the rectitude of his intentions, while at the same time it is not such a one as to compromise his Government. The bondholders, therefore, have every reason to thank the President for the expression of such an opinion on such an occasion. C H RO N IC LE.—This afternoon an evening Contem porary states that the Government have at length resolved to meet the question of compensation to the innocent holders of the Exchequer bills " upon equitable grounds ;" and, taking for granted its non-liability in a legal sense, it has determined to state to the House of Commons the facts of the case, leaving it to that body to deal with it. " The Chancellor of the Exchequer ;" it is said, " will probably bring the matter for ward ; and, without denying the laxity that has hitherto been allowed to prevail in the Ex chequer bill department, will propose that the par ties who have really taken the forged documents under circumstances showing no ground for believing that they could have suspected fraud, shall be indemnified to the full amount of their fictitious securities." We were not prepared to look for the first information re garding the intentions of the present Cabinet in the columns of our Liberal Contemporary, and fear that this intelligence is at least premature. But we never hesi tated to maintain that the claims of the innocent holders to full compensation, both on moral and legal grounds, were irresistible, and that the Government would merit the censure of Parliament if they should seriously resist them. The Government may just as well make a merit of necessity, for they must grant compensation to the innocent holders in the long run, and it would be far more wise and politic to propose a plan of arrangement than to have one forced upon them. When that arrangement is completed, the first point of the question, namely, compensation to the in nocent holders, will have been adjusted. The third point, namely, the adoption of a better system of ma nagement, will be fully taken up by the commission, leaving the second only for discussion, namely, detec tion and punishment of the accomplices of Smith and Ranalio. HER ALD.—The rise to be observed in Spanish stocks is attributable to the renewed reports of the Commissieners, said to be appointed to carry into effect the capitalization of the overdue Coupons, being at length on their way from Madrid with the pesos duros for the payment of two halt-year's dividends upon them, when consolidated, at the rate of three per cent. It is possible the news this time may be true, and it is high time the Spanish Finance people should at length show a little fire after so much smoke ; for it is now upwards of twelve months since the capitalization project was put in motion and the Commissioners sent on their travels—in the newspapers. There is no intention to be ill-natured, or to say anything in vidiously in that sense, on this occasion, which might serve needlessly to discourage the expectations of the bondholders, or to throw suspicion on the actions and purposes of the Spanish Government. Occasion has been taken at various times, on the contrary, to express much more confidence in the integrity and financial management of Senor Surra y Rull than unfortunately it was possible to entertain and record respecting more than one of his predecessors ; but long and costly ex perience must satisfy the creditors of Spain in this country how little land of romance have hitherto been to be depended on, and to find according to the common saying, that "fine words butter no parsnips." It may be hoped, rather than taken for granted that present appearances will prove more substantial of result to the bondholders than on numberless other occasions has proved to be the case. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. The Gazette of last evening contains a notice from the Speaker, that it is his intention to issue a warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a new writ for the election of a Member to serve in this present Parliament, for the City of Dublin, in the room of John Beatty West, Esq., deceased.

BERLIN, DEC. 19.—The invitation received by his Majesty the King to visit London, for the purpose of acting as sponsor at the christening of the infant Prince of Wales, did not arrive wholly unexpected. Since the commencement of his Majesty's reign the political rela tions between Prussia and Great Britain have pre sented the character of increasing friendly relations. This amicable spirit was alike obvious at the execution of the July treaty during the Whig Administration, and during the negotiations maintained with the Tories relative to the evangelical bishoprick in Syria. It is not, however, absolutely certain that the King will ac cept the invitation of Queen Victoria ; for it happens that at the period fixed for the christening of tho Prince of Wales some illustrious visitors are expected at the Court of Berlin, and moreover the present is not the most agreeable season of the year for a journey to England. _ _ Dee. 20.—His Majesty the King at first declined to accept the invitation to act personally as sponsor for the young Prince of Wales. But a second invitation, conveyed in an autograph letter from Queen Victoria, induced his Majesty to revoke his first determination. It is now understood that his Majesty will depart for London on the 17th of January. The King will pro ceed to Cologne, where he will take the railway, and will pass through Belgium to Calais. At that port an English steam-vessel will be in readiness to convey him to England. His Majesty's suite will occupy ten car riages. Besides Generals Von Natzmer, Neumann, and Roader, there are mentioned among the individuals who are to accompany the King, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, Count Von Stoiberg, and Bishop Neander. BERLIN, DEC. 2.2.—The departure of the King for London is fixed for the 16th of January. His Ma jesty will sup on that day at Magdeburg, reach Hexier, and on the next day go to Hagen. LAW INTELLIGENCE. PALACE COURT, Dec.3l. CIIAPMAN V. CROSS. This was an action brought by a poulterer to recover the sum of 17/. 3s. 6d. for goods supplied to the defen dant, who was proved in the course of the cause to be a son of Lieut.-Colonel Cross, of the 36th Foot, and in practice as a surgeon in Oxford-square. It appeared from the evidence for the plaintiff that the defendant entered the above premises on the 6th Octo ber last, and being recommended to the plaintiff became a customer with him next day. The defendant's cook proved the receipt of the goods, and the reasonableness of the charges, but she said that during the second week of the supply she told plaintiff's servant that her master would pay at the end of three months. That servant was called, who said he gave his master the message. and he merely said he would see about it. Things went on for four weeks when the bill being up wards of 111, the plaintiff called for payment. He saw the defendant in presence of the cook ; he then said he understood it was to be a three months' bill, but pro mised payment that week. His wife then said, " Not so soon, or we may disappoint him," and the defendant then said, " Then certainly the week after." In consequence of this the supply went on for two weeks more, heavier than ever, but no money being forthcoming, it was stopped, and the action was brought. For the defence, a friend of Mr. Cross was called, to prove an admission on the part of the plaintiff that the credit was three months, and consequently the action too soon brought. After the Learned JUDGE had summed up, the Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 171. 35., on the ground that no credit had been agreed upon, or the defendant would not twice have promised to pay the bill before its expiration. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. EXTENSIVE FORGERY AND ROBBERY IN AMERICA. — Colonel Aspinall, the American Consul, having received information that a young man named Maurice Pitcher, clerk in the house of Messrs. Eyre and Massey, a re spectable mercantile firm in Philadelphia, had drawn money out of several banks in the name of his employers, employed John Forrester, the officer, to take measures to apprehend the delinquent in the event of his arrival in England. The firm discovered upon examination after the disappearance of the clerk that he had committed forgeries upon them to the following extent On the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank for 55,000 Pennsylvania Bank 2,500 Philadelphia Bank Mechanics' Bank .... All in the name of Eyre and Massey, and on the Bank of North America in the name of Manuel Eyre $13,500 The American Consul having proCeeded in the busi ness with promptitude and activity, Maurice Pitcher, and his brother, George Augustus Pitcher, were apprehended by the able officer above-mentioned, and in possession - of four-fifths of the property, and brought before the Lord Mayor., Maurice Pitcher, the elder of the two, who is 19 years of age, took the name of Valancourt, and his brother as sumed that of Gentry, and they both embarked at New York in the Europe, Captain Marshall ; ani having ar rived at Liverpool put up at the Angel Inn, Dent-street. The elder, soon after their arrival, came off to London to get cash for a bill of 1,0231. which he had purchased with some of the produce of his forgeries of a broker at New York, named Silvester, and which was drawn upon James Bult and Sons, bullion dealers in Cheapside,London. The younger remained behind, in order to bring up the luggage to town, where he was to meet his brother, and they were to make rapid preparations for departing for and settling in Germany. Their plans were, however, to be frustrated, Maurice Pitcher upon calling at Messrs. Bult's to get the bill accepted found himself most awkwardly situated with Forrester, who had made preparations for his re ception, and who subsequently apprehended George Au gustus Pitcher in bed with a bandage round his waist containing American Bank notes to the amount of 6,800 dollars and some golden eagles. The brothers were brought in the custody of John Forrester before the Lord Mayor, but were examined, at the desire of the American Consul, separately. The American Consul said he charged Maurice Pit cher with the crime of forgery upon certain banks in Philadelphia in the United States, by means of which the said Maurice Pitcher obtained their notes to the amount of 13,500 dollars. He expected to receive by the first steamer such intelligence as would enable him to decide upon the sort of proceeding - which it might be necessary for him to adopt. That steamer would pro bably arrive next day, and he should therefore request that his Lordship would remand the prisoner fur a few days. The prisoner said he supposed that he should not be de tained a moment after he consented to give up all the money. The American Consul—l never said anything to you about not detaining you ; but I told you, that in conse quence of your conduct in at once giving us all the in t*ormation in your power, you might expect that all the lenity that could be consistently shown to you, should be. You have reason to expect that ; but you cannot be released under existing circumstances. Prisoner—Do I understand that I am to have a trial ? The American Consul—You are to remain in custody. Prisoner—l should wish to avoid punishment. The American Consul—lt is natural that the prisoner should wish to secure himself ; but I would advise him to do nothing which may so prejudice his case as that I shall not be able to do as I could wish. . The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, if you offer opposition to the course which the American Consul is taking, it may militate against yourself. I must say that Colonel Aspinall has shown as much disposition to treat this se rious offence with mildness, as he has shown vigilance and ability in securing those who committed it and their property. Prisoner—l do not wish to offer any opposition to the source the Consul is pursuing ; but I am anxious about my own safety. I have surrendered all I have most willingly, as he knows, and I do not wish to return to America on any account. The LORD MAYOR—Then it is the Consul's wish that you should be remanded till Monday, and I ask you, have you any, statement to make ? Prisoner— Nothing more ; but as my brother is in custody I am de sirous of seeing him. The LORD MAYO R st a t e d, a t th e request o f t h e Ame rican Consul, that the prisoner could not see his brother until after Monday. The prisoner was then removed, and George Augustus Pitcher, who stated his age to be 18 years, was brought up for examination. The LORD MAYOR-What is the charge against this young man ? The American Consul—l charge him with having aided and assisted his brother, Maurice Pitcher, in defrauding certain bankers in Philadelphia of bank notes to the amount of $13,500. The LORD MAYOR—Do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge ? You are not obliged to say a word. Prisoner—l have nothing to say. J. Forrester stated, that, in consequence of informa tion which he had received, he went to an hotel at the west.end of the town, and found the prisoner, George Augustus Pitcher, in bed, with a sort of purse round his waist, containing 6,8 00 dollars in American bank-notes, six American golden eagles, and 18s. Bd. in English money. The prisoner gave up all the property with out hesitation. as did his brother Maurice, upon being appre hended at Mr. Butt's shop in Cheapside. The LORD MAYOR—It appears then th a t th e property t a ken away by Maurice Pitcher amounts to about 2,9001, of which there is a deficiency of about 6001., which may be accounted for by th e expenses and the rate of exchange. George A. Pitcher—The American Consul says that I aided my brother in this business. In what way did I aid him? The American Consul—You embarked with your brother in a false name, and some of the money has been found upon your person. Of this, I can assure you, that no more severity shall be exercised on the occasion than public justice will require. You shall be dealt with as leniently as possible. Mr. Bult, jun., of Cheapside, stated that the bill for 1,0231 bad been left for acceptance at his house, and on the day it was to have been accepted, another American vessel arrived with a letter to him containing advice not to accept it, as it had been purchased by Maurice Pitcher out of the proceeds of the frauds and forgeries committed by that individual upon a number of Philadelphia banks, and in the names of Messrs. Eyres and Massey, the former employers of Maurice Pitcher, and distinguished merchants at South Walls, in Philadelphia. Notice of the circumstance was immediately sent by Mr. Bult to the American Consul, and John Forrester was employed, and the prisoners were both quickly apprehended. The prisoner was then remanded till Monday. GUILDHALL. Two young men, named Williams and Jones, were placed at the bar before Messrs. Lainson and Fare brother, the sitting Aldermen, on the charge of stealing a quantity of silk and woollen goods, ti e pr.,pei-ty of Mr. Thomas, draper, of 116, Aldersgate-stP eet. James Keater said he resided at No. 11, New-street, Cloth fair, and the evening betZwe hearing a noise in the hall of his residence, he went down, when he saw a quantity of valuable drapery goods on the stairs, and the prisoner Williams standing at the door. Upon ques tioning him he said, "It is all right ; hold your tongue and you shall have share of the swag." Witness then sent his son through a side-door for a policeman, who soon afterwards arrived, and the prisoner Williams was taken into custody. Jones, who was lingering near the spot, was also taken up as an accomplice. Several other witnesses ,having been examined, the prisoners were fully committed. The waiter at the Shakspeare's Head, Drury-lane, who was remanded some days since on a charge of attempting to drown himself at Blaekfriars-bridge, was again brought up and dismissed with an admonition. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary Arthur and Ann Arthur, sisters, the former 14 years of age, and the hitter 12, both of them intelligent girls, and very decently clad, were brought before Mr. Hardwick, by police constable No. 92 A, whom they met in the street on Thursday, and stated they were in utter destitution, and had been refused admission to St. Mar tin's workhouse. In answer to questions by Mr. lIARDwicK, the elder girl stated that her father %l as a native of Dublin, and by trade a gunsmith. Ile had for a considerable time been working at Bristol, where her mother died about seven months ago. About a month since her father brought them up to London, and they continued to live with him until Monday last, when he left them standing in the street opposite to a public-house where he said he was going to get some porter ; he, however, never returned to them, and after waiting until night-MI, and not having v.ny money in their pockets, the eldest girl took her hair combs out and sold them for 6d., and was directed where to procure a lodging for the night, which she did, and on the following day she procured food and a shelter for the night by disposing of part of her clothes. On Thursday they wandered about the street until evening. when some person, to whom they told their distressing tale, directed them to apply to St. Martin's workhouse, and if they could not obtain admission to give themselves up to the police. _ _ - Mr. Itkituwick ordered the children to be supplied with food, and immediately wrote to-the parochial authorities of St. Martin's, at the same time expressing his intention ofseeing that the children should be properly taken care of. LAMBETH-STREET. Thursday Alexander Wilson, alias Cumming, a well dressed and smooth-tongued Scotchman, was brought before Mr. NORTON, for final examination, on a charge of stealing four knives and forks, the property of Mr. Robinson, an eating-house-keeper, in Whitechapel-road. From the evidence it appeared that on the 22d inst. the prisoner entered the parlour of the prosecutor, and called for dinner. The waiter, having recognised him as having paid a former visit to the house, on which occasion a valuable Bible and several knives and forks were missing shortly after he was gone, not only ap prised his master of his second appearance, but kept a close lookout, and saw him go to a drawer, and put some knives and forks into his pocket. When about to leave the house Mr. Robinson stopped him. The prisoner declared that poverty of the direst description alone had driven him to the commission of the act, and so plausible were his manners, that the prosecutor would have let him go, had he not strong suspicion that he it was who, had stolen his family Bible. When brought to this Court, the prisoner said he had kept a " whiskey" store in Edinburgh ; but having unfortunately failed in busi ness he came to London, six months before, in the hope of getting something to do, and though he had made every effort to obtain even the most menial situation, he was driven to the greatest state of distress, and this alone had caused him to take the knives and forks ; but this was his first offence. At this time he gave a fictitious name and address, but ultimately gave his real name, and said he lodged with his sister in Finsbury -street, Finsbury-square, and on the policeman going he found that the prisoner and a young woman, whom he repre sented as his sister, occupied an elegantly-furnished room, in which there were a number of books, and every thing betokening the greatest comfort. Unt'ortu • nately for his representation there was but one bed in the room. The landlady described the prisoner as a per son who appeared to have an excellent competency, and his manners at home were very different indeed to those of a person in distress. The policeman produced a number of books, some of which were bound in the most costly manner, and others were odd volumes, which had evidently been stolen from some public libraries or coffee-rooms, as the names were erased from many of them, and leaves cut out of others. Mr. NORTON told the prisoner that to the character of a petty thief was added that of a most impudent liar ' and a plausibility of manner which rendered him most dan gerous to society. The prisoner was committed to the Quarter Sessions for trial. LLOYD'S SHIPPING LONDON, DEC. 30.—Wind this day at noon, S. to S. E. RAMSGATE, DEC. 30.—S1d.Apenrade pckt., Mayaguez.

GRINGLEY ON THE HILL.—It is a source of general regret (says a correspondent), that the farmers in this and several other parishes have lowered their la bourers' wages Is. 6d. per week, which is severely felt by the poor men, especially by those having large fami lies. One poor man states when his week's earnings are laid out it leaves for each meal : to each member of his family only one penny, !ind . nothing . f!n. rent, &c, Surely in the present high price of provisions, &c., their em ployers will restore their former deserving remuneration for their labour.--Doncaster Gazette. RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN FRANCE,—The Journal de l'Eure, of the 24th instant, states, that in consequence of a bank of earth having given way at Tourville, where the engineers of the Paris and Rouen Railroad were constructing a tunnel, five labourers were cut off from all communication with the exterior. In order to extricate them, it was found necessary to dig through a bank of hard gravel to the depth of thirty feet. In less than fourteen hours this operation was completed ; and, thanks to the coolness and intrepidity displayed by Mr. Jones, the English engineer, the five men were saved. Ihe New York Morning Herald contains an account of another American vessel having been boarded and overhauled by a British cruizer at Galenas. A ves sel called the William had arrived at the above port, when she was boarded by her Majesty's brig Dolphin, and permitted to go at liberty again. The same paper contains an extract from a letter dated Havannah, which says—" A serious affair has just commenced in the neigbourhood of Matanzas. It appears that the English Consul went a few days since to a plantation situated near that town and attempted to obtain the emancipation o f all the slaves belonging to a planter who had arrived from Jamaica. His seditious counsels might have occa sioned a general revolt among the coloured population of that place. As soon as the commander of Matanzas obtained information of this occurrence he arrested the Consul, and sent him back here escorted by soldiers un der the order of the Government. We do not know what will be the result of this affair." WESTERN RELICS.—At Madan, the ancient city of Wisconsin, we learn from the Wisconsin Inquirer, some workmen, engaged in quarrying limestone, found at a depth of five or six feet from the surface cf the earth, and three or four feet below the upper stratum of rock, a human thigh bone, which was, with the excep tion of one end, completely embedded in the solid lime rock, the formation of the stone, to all appearance, having been around the bone. This is one of the mune roui testimonials that are daily brought to light, that go to prove the former settlement. of the distant west. The burnt brick structure in the vicinity of Azatlan, reaching to a very great extent, is a most interesting memorial of bygone times.—American Paper. MORNrr(lr SETN ME MARKETS —YESTERDAY.
