A letter from Venice says, that a few days ago a poor oil fruit womar, near the Rialto, enraged at a Croat who took her fruit without payment, loudly cursed the Austrians. She was immediately publicly flogged in the Piezza St. Marco. She was covered with blood when the execution was over, and cursed the Austrians again. The punishment was repeated, but this time she cursed not, for she was dead. IRELAND. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—This is gene rally made a holiday also, and all kinds of sports have taken place in the suburban districts. On the North Bull there have been donkey races, &c., under the auspices of an enterprising omnibus proprietor, named Wilson, who, having introduced the London omnibus here, is now at least driving a thriving business. The day has been fine, but cold, and the crowds of holiday folk in the streets more than usually large. The late civic riot is still the topic of much con versation. Never was there a discomfiture so signal as that of Mr. Reynolds, in his motion concerning the town clerk, and he cannot be an object of sym pathy, seeing that he abandoned the portion of his motion referring to the reduction, whilst he persisted in that which involved the town clerk's "attend ance, at his desk from ten till five o'clock,' thus giving room to the imputation that he was influenced by personal spite, and not by public principle. The wor st feeling exists between the Lord Mayor elect and the rest of the Corporation. The Town Council have intimated that they will take no part in the " Lord Mayor's Show" on New Year's Day; and, in return, his Lordship, it is fully expected, will not give the usual dinner, for which no invitations have as yet been issued. The disposal of the great Government contract for printing, which had been watched with so much in terest, has at length been decided. It has ben taken from Mr. Alexander Thom, and given to Messrs. Grierson, "Her Majesty's printers" for Ireland, who enter on the contract for five years in March next. Doubtless the work will now be divided amongst the chief Dublin houses. But what gives to this matter a more general interest is the fact that Mr. Thom has been for years in open warfare with the body of journeymen printers in this city, who are also, I understand, leagued in union with the compositors of England and Scotland. Mr. Thom was accustomed to prefer any printer to an Irish one, but would give no employment to any one connected with what is called the " regular body," whose rules he had infringed to the extent of having upwards of eighty apprentices. In the reports of the Irish Academy, just issued, there are mentioned two most interesting discoveries —the first, a curious manuscript, called the " Dinn seanchua," an authentic narrative of the wars of the Danes in Ireland ; the second, " Cormac's Glossary," written nearly a thousand years ago by Corinac M'Cuillenan, King of Munster, and Archbishop of Cashel, a man distinguished as the most learned scholar of his time, and there is reason to believe it was intended by him to be a glossary to the im portant historical collections called "The Psalter of Cashel," compiled by his orders. Throughout the work are scattered words in the Hebrew, Latin, Greek, Anglo-Saxon, Welsh, Pictish, and Icelandic languages. It is in process of translation by Drs. Graves and Todd, aided by Messrs. O'Donovan and Curry—the four best Celtic scholars living. The other work it is also intended to translate and print as soon as the funds of the academy will permit. It is looked upon as one of the most important original authorities on Irish history that has recently been rescued from oblivion. Its publication would be a boon to the literature of Europe ; for great obscurity still hangs over the history of the maritime expeditions of the ancient Norsemen ; and a local narrative of undoubted antiquity, such as this curious work mast certainly is, would be hailed with interest by all nations interested in the history of that extraordinary people. The courts being all closed, and little or no public business transacted, there is not a particle of local news. The Incumbered Estates Commission will not sit again till the Bth of January, on which day they will sit in Chamber, and on the following day in full Court. In future they will sit in Chamber every Tuesday and Friday.

Josuph Ady was summoned before Alderman Gibbs for the sum of 121. 103., due and owing to her Ma j(ssty, for the duty of posiage, which he refused and neglected to pay. '['he summons was supported by Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to the Post-office. Mr. Peacock having stated that the amount claimed was for the postage of 1.500 letters, Defendant—l beg for further time. I want time to look over and examine the 1,500 letters you talk about. Mr. Peacock—You have had seven days, upon four houis of each of which you might have so em ployed yourself at my office. Defendant—That is not the case. There were only four out of the seven that were working days. I wish for more time before you proceed with your com Alderman Grmus--.I shall proceed at once with the case. Do you plead guilty or not guilty ? De fendant—Not guilty, certainly. Mr. Peacock said, that of the 1,500 letters, the postage of which he sought to recover, 1,000 had been refused by the parties to whom they had been tendered, 498 had been directed to parties who could not be found, and two had been addressed to parties who were dead, and all purported to come from Mr. My. Thomas Gallabin, clerk in the Dead Letter-office of the General Post-office, said—l examined the whole of the 1,50 D letters, which purport to come from Joseph Ady, of 105, Fenchurch -street. They were unpaid, according to the statement made by the solicitor of the Post-office, and bore the Post office taxes upon them, amounting to 121. 10s. Defendant—Pray (to the witness) did you examine all these letters yourself ? Witness—Yes ; every one. Defendant—And do you say the postage is due from me ? Witness—Yes. An inspector of letters in the Post-office said—l know Mr. Ady. I was present when the carrier ten dered the letters to him, and derhanded the sum of 121. 103. as posta , r,3. He did not pay, but said he had no money, and the sum is rv)w due to her Majesty. Here a large pack.lge was produced. Defendant—Were the real letters produced to me? Witness—They were produced in the package. Defendant—But not the real letters one by one ? Wi ness—No. • Defendant—Now, take notice of th , it. The red letters were not produced.—(Laughter.) Mr. Peacock—That is the case against Mr. Adv. The defendant then read a paper, from which" the following are extracts. It is necessary to observe that to the first paragraph, which related to "any other demand outstanding against him at the Post office," Mr. Peacock had at the commencement of the examination given a reply. The paper then proceeds : " Before proceeding further in this matter I beg to be far - aired with further time, so that I may carefully in spect each and every letter, as after my former convic tion, upon the totters being returned from the Post-office I found, although it had been most solemnly sworn by the Post-office clerk that he had opened and carefully inspc-cted the whole of them, and found all of them purporting to come from me, that there was one letter, no doubt of great importance to the parties interested, which had no such import, which letter I transmitted to your Lordship, soliciting your advice thereon, which, however, has not received any notice, and not less than twenty--even letters the seals of which had never been disturbed, and therefore stand fearfully in array against the clerk who so carelessly swore that which is palpably false. Your Lordship will also perc-ive that the number of letters lam now sued upon is about 2,000, and that the time allowed by the Post-office is but eight hours for their inspection—a thing utterly impossible. I further assert that the demand has never been legally made upon me, nor have I seen the letters. It is true that men have been with bundles wrapped up in papers, for what I know containing Bank-notes—(Laughtt-r)— and at the back of the summons was an invitation to inspect the letters Ca- eight hours—quite insufficient to det .ct all the forgeries amongst them, and which no matt whatever has any right to set me about tin re, in the enemy's camp, where the Philistincs aro lying in wait for me.—(Laughter.) " I have here with me 12 letters, reserving the rest for another purpose and court. Ask the Lord Mayor if ha rembers my informing him of upwards of 1,0001. he con sequ•ntly received and knew not of.—(Laughter.) " Respectfully, ".JOSEPH ADY." Alderman Genus—ls your defence concluded ? Defendant—Yes. I don's wish to give any unneces sary trouble. I only wish for more time. Alderman Gines—My decision is, that the cave has been satisfactorily proved, and I shall issue the warrant if the money be not forthwith paid, together with 3s. costs. The defendant then retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Louis Joel, jeweller and bill discounter, No. 3, Little Argyll-street, was brought before Mr. Bingham for further examination, charged with having forged the name of Mr. John Marcus Clements, formerly of the 13th Regiment of Light Dragoons, to an accept ance for 1,0001. A second eh age was unexpectedly brought forward against the prisoner of having frau dulent] v obtained three bills for 760/. from Lieutenant G3rland. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Billantine and Mr. Davis, solicitor, for the defence. The case stool over frc:m the former examination for the production of the bill in (location, and for °yid( nee of the mode in which it canto into the hands of Mr. Campbell, solicitor, of Warwick street. . . Mr. Campbell produced the bill, and stated that it had been left by the prisoner Joel at his office in War wick street some time ago. Henry Chignell, porter to the firm of which Mr. Campbell is partner, said he received a paper from Mr Joel to give to Mr. Clements, who was not then at the office. He could not recollect the date, but he made a memorandum, and gave it to Joel at the time, and that would fix the date. The paper in question purported to be a bill for 1,0001. Witness gave it to Mr. Reeves, the clerk. Mr. John Pullman, barrister, Shore-house, Hack ney, examined—The paper now produced witness had received from the prisoner Joel about the month of August, 1847. The paper purported to be an ac count of the transactions of Mr. Campbell with the prisoner, and the way witness became possessed of the paper was this—Being ia Dublin at the latter end of July, 1847, at the request of the guardians of Mr. Clements, the prosecutor, who was a minor up to the 2.7 th of July in the English Court of Chancery, he called on Joel, and_ asked him to give him an account of all the transactions between Mr. Clements and himself. Witness had understood that Joel had commenced actions against Mr. Clements at that time. Witness had asked for the account to show to Mr. Clements' guardians, in order that the bills might be paid if found to be correct. It was on the 30th of July when witness called on the prisoner. In consequence of this visit the prisoner sent an account of the bills passed to him by Mr. Clements, with a requ es t by note for an early settlement of the bills overdue. In this account there is no mention of a 1,0001. bill. Prisoner—l had not taken that bill then. Mr. Pullman continued—The prisoner in August called on him, and asked if the account rendered was satisfactory or not. Witness told him the ac count was not such an account as he wanted, as it did not furnish him with a statement of the considera tion which had been given for the bills. The prisoner, on that occasion, verbally stated the alleged consideration, and witness requested he would put it in writing, that it might be shown Ito Mr. Clements' guardians. The pri soner consented, and promised to call with the written statement a day or two afterwards. The prisoner did not keep his appointment, but sent a note of apology, and soon after wards the prisoner did bring a statement in writing. In that statement there was a bill fur 361., and on asking for explanation the prisoner said it was for a returned bill. The prisoner added, there was an account for goods against Mr. Clements also, and at witness's request the account was furnished. Witne-s saw the prisoner a day or two after this affair, and asked him if he had given a statement of the whole of the transac tions with Mr. Clements. The prisoner replied that the written statement comprised the whole of the transactions which had passed between Mr. Clements and himself. Witness never received at any other time any other statement cf bill transactions from the prisoner, and though he had seen the prisoner many times afterwards, the prisoner never male mention of any 1,000/. bill. Cross-examined by Mr. B allantine —Acted as agent, though not paid agent, to Mr. Clements in this nego tiation. Ilad been acquainted with Mr. Clements for some time, and this was the reason why the guardians had applied to him to inquire into the transactions with the prisoner. Had been retained as a barrister on the first instance, hut did not expect to be paid in the same way as an attorney for his trouble during the progress of the business. Mr. BINGHAM thought these questions totally irre levant. Mr. B illantine maintained they were proper, as it was essential, in this inquiry, to know the exact position in which Mr. Pullman stood to the parties. Mr. BINGIIAM said, the witness had given a suffi cient answer when he said he had been retained by the guardians in the capacity of barrister. Mr. Ballantine would submit to the Court, but the question now omitted he should most probably feel it his duty to ask in another place. Mr. Pullma n was perfectly ready to answer any inquiries that might be made. After he had been retained he called on Mr. Clements, at an hotel in ll&,lin, and told him, as he had got into difficulties, he would be able to assist him out of them, but he must first consent to make a clean breast to his guardians. Mr. Clements consented to do so. This statement having been objected to, it was not proceeded with. Mr. Pullman said the amount of outstanding bills appeared to ba aho!f; 2.0001. t - vh n the account was rendered, but a 500/. rill had been since paid, and this was the only reducioa of the nm..unt abegod to be due to the prisoner. lied never heard Mr. Cle ments deny his accerance to any bill except the one for 1,000/. Had made an offer to pay the prisoner every sum he could sla:)w he had fairly advanced to Mr. Cements, with 6 per cent. interest. Had been authorised to make this proposition to the prisoner by Mr. Clements' guardians, but did not reduce the offer to writing. This offer was made, although the bibs were accepted during the minority of Mr. Clements. Mr. Bodkin asked what amount of mon-y had been actually advanced by the prisoner to Mr. Clements. He found in the account sent in such charges as 50/. for a picture, 60/ for diamond studs, and 401. for a di imond ring. Witness had not cast up the amount o!" actual ca4i, but understood it to be about 20/ out of every 1001. Oa receiving the account from the prisoner, witness had sent it to the guardians. Mr. Clements, how ever, denied having received the amount of na:aley set down. He said the prisoner promised to let him have money, but never performed his promise. For this reason thesettlement of the account was postponed. John Marcus Clements, Lieutenant, 13th Light Dragoons, examined already declared that the acceptance to the bill for 1.0001- was not in his handwriting. Would positively swear that the sig nature to the bill was not written by him. Knew perfectly well what accepting hills in blank meant. Had never accepted bills in blank, and had never written his name across a blank piece of paper with a stamp on it. Cross-examined—Witness had pointed out three forgeries of- his name to bills, and had defended actions on that ground. There was a bill purporting to have been accepted by a brother-officer, which was paid when it came to maturity. The gross amount of witness's bill transactions before he became of age was under 3,000/. Witness's income at that time was an allowance of 400/. a-year, besides his pay as an officer. With the excep'ion of the bill with an officer's name to it, witness bad paid no " Jews' bills. Used the term "Jews' bills" because tran sactions with Jess were different to transactions with other people. Had seen the account furnished by the prisoner to Mr. Pullman. In that account there was more money charged than he had ever received—that, at least, was his belief. Had concurred in the arrangement to pay all his just debts for money and goods due to the prisoner, with 6 per cent. interest. Had never in his life, either before ur after he came of age, accepted a bill for 1,0001. Mr. Ballantine admitted that the matter before the Court could not be disposed of at once. The only questio❑ was as to committing the prisoner Gr liberating him on good bail. The whole charge depended on the te4timony of Pullman and Clements. The witness Pullman was a barrister; and, without wishing to say anything that might cast a doubt on his respect ability, yet when he found him arranging the terms on which the debts of Clements w: re to be settled it was his duty to understand clearly the part played by Pullman in the transaction. It would no doubt be said that the prosecutor, Clements, was a young man who had got into the hands of bill discounters, but he would remind the Court it was not always bill•discounters were the gainers. The prosecutor had denied accepting blank bills; if he were instructed correctly, he should perhaps at a future time be able to show that the prosecutor was mistaken as to that point. The alleged forgery was in amount 1,0001., while the sum claimed to be due by the prisoner from the prosecutor was much beyond that iu amount. He was instructed that the bill in ques tion was given after the prosecutor was of age, and that it was given as a guarantee fer the payment of the outstanding liabilities. Under all circumstanc,s he was justifiod in making an application for bail. Mr. BINGHAM thought it would not be quite ad visable for a single magistrate to agree to accept bail when the amount was so large. He would, however, do all he could to get rid of the objection, by causing the depositions to he taken as soon as possible, and the❑ an application might be male to a judga. After some conversatio❑ it was arranged that the prisoner should come up again next Tuesday. An application on behalf of the London and Dublin Bank was made for the bill. Mr. BINGHAM thought he should be hardly justi fied in parting with the bill in this stage of the proceedings. It had, therefore, better remain in the hands of the officers. The second charge was then brought forward, Mr. Clarkson appearing for the pro-ecution. The Learned Counsel stated that Lieutenant Gar land, of the 11th Hussars, was the person who corn pLined that the prisoner at the bar, under false and fraudulent pretences, had obtained several valuable securities from him. It appeared that some time ago when Lieutenant Garland was in barracks, a person named Wolfe, a commission agent, came to him and offered to procure money on his bills. In consequence of what then passed, Lieutenant Garland went to the prisoner's house and agreed to give three bills; two for 2001, and one for 3501., which were to be accepted by a brother officer named Wilson. The bills were drawn and accepted by Wilson. When Lieutenant Garland called on Joel, he was told the bills were of no use, as they had been accep'cd at the back, and he must have three other bills. Three other bills were drawn, and, after some demur, were accepted by Wilson, cn the assurance from the prisoner that the three former bills had been destroyed. The three I.lst bills were paid when due. The three bills said to have been destroyed then turned up, and actions were pending against the acceptor for the amount. Two of the bills were now in the hands of a solicitor named Fitch. _ . Mr. Ballantine said, he was taken by surprise, as this was the first intimation he had received of the charge. He thought the investigation had better stand over till Tuesday. Mr. Clarkson would first give evidence of the pos session of the bills by Mr. Fitch, as his object was to have then now produced in court. A gentleman from the firm of Weston, Symes, and Teesdale, solicitors, Fenchurch-street, proved that the father of Lieutenant Garland had instituted this prosecution. Mr. Fitch had called at their office on the subject of two bills for 2001. unpaid. Mr. Fitch had commenced an action against Wilson for the amount. Had seen the account of the apprehension of Joel in the newspapers when he was in France, and this brought him over to commence proceedings, although he had received instructions some time ago, but could not execute them, as the prisoner could not be found. Mr. Fitch being applied to for the purpose of ascer taining whether he would produce the bills, declined to do so. He said be had called at Messrs. Weston's office, and had offered to produce Joel within an hour if anything were wrong. Mr. Mascaras& said, in the event of a refusal to pro duce the bills he must take such steps as the law em powered him to take. Mr. Fitch said he could not do anything that would prsjudice his actions against Wilson. Mr. Clarkson said, he had no doubt, in case Mr. Fitch refused to produce the bills, that the magistrate would be justified in issuing his warrant against him. After a short consultation with Mr. Ballantine, Mr. Fitch said he was willing to produce the bills. Lieutenant Garland was then called. He proved that Wolfe called at the barracks, and ultimately introduced him to Joel, who consented to discount his bills, provided they were accepted by a brother officer named Wilson. Witness got Wilson's accept ance to three bills—two for 2001., and one for 3501, and gave them to the prisoner. Saw the prisoner some days afterwards, who told him the bills were of no use as they were accepted at the hack. Three similar bills were drawn, and endorsed by witness, and witness taok them for Wilson's accept ance. Wilson came to town, and saw the prisoner, not being satisfied with what had been said about the acceptance being at the back. The prisoner ex plained the matter to Wilson's satisfaction, and the other three bills were accepted; The prisoner stated that the previous bills were destroyed. The second batch of bills were paid when due. Two of the bills now produced by Air. Fitch were two of the hills said by the prisoner to have been destroyed. The terms on which the discounts were arranged were at first 18 per cent. on the amount, but afterwards witness agreed to take jewellery and 5001 in cash for 7601. in bills. Part of the jewellery was to consist of a diamond pin, 501, and a brooch, 90/. Had not received the brooch. Was of age now, but was not at the time of the transaction. Had never represented him Belt' of age before the fact was so. Had some letters in his possession returned to him under an arrangement with Joseph Joel. These letters related to the payment of debts owing by witness. Would swear that he had not accepted as many as 50 bills. The total amount of bills for which witness had ren• dered himself liable did not exceed 1,5001., and of :hat sum 3501. had since been pail. The prisoner knew witness was under age. Mr. BlisGuass said the bills might remain in the custody of the Court. Mr. Fitch said he could not consent to give them out of his possession. Mr. BINGHAM replied it would not matter, as enough evidence had been got to supply their loss, even in case they were destroyed. Mr. Fitch said the object in getting the bills from him was to defeat his action. Mc. Clarkson—Oh ! no, it is to ascertain whether Mr. Fitch gave value fur them. The further inquiry was then adjourned till Tues day next. TVORSIIIP-STREET. Two smartly dressed young men, named James Pearcey and William Allen, in the service of Mr. Henry Nathan, an extensive woollendraper in Great Garden-street, Whitechapel, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having stolen a large quantity of cloth and other goods, the property of their employers, to the supposed amount of between 3001. and 4001. prisoners were committee. for trial, but or kred to be Lrought up on a future day, to afford the police an opportunity of tracing other portions of the stolen property.

THE ARMY.—Three companies of the 20th regi• ment of Foot, stationed at London, Canada, were under orders to proceed to Kingston, the head-quarters of the regiment, on December the 7th. They were to embark at Hamilton in the Princess Royal transport ship. On the arrival of the 20th at Kingston a wing of the Rifle Brigade, now in garrison there, will embark for Toronto, to join the head-quarters of the 2d battalion, doing duty at that station: The period of foreign service of regi- ments at present serving in Canada, and other parts of North America, now nearly completed, place them in the following rotation of return home to England:—The 7th Royal Fusiliers, at present stationed at Halifax, I Nova Scotia, went abroad on the 6th of November, 1839, and their ten years of foreign service are now completed. The Ist battalion of the Ist, or Royal, Regiment of Foot went abroad on the 25th of November, 1839, and are at present stationed at New Brunswick. The 19th Regi ment of Foot, at present in Montreal, went abroad in ' September, 1840; and the 38th Regiment, at present in Nova Scotia, in the same month of the same year. The 79th (Cameron Highlanders) went abroad in December, 1840, and are at present in Quebec. The 88th (Con naught Rangers) went abroad in December, 1840, and are at present stationed at Trinidad. These regiments in the rotation given are the first to be relieved from foreign service in North America and the West Indies. The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade went abroad in November, 1840, and are now serving at the Cape of Good Hope, but their services may be required some time longer at that station. POLITENESS REWARDED.—We copy from the New York Sun an amusing incident: —" A spruce-looking girl of 19, tripping along at a moderate pace, with a em4ll bundle under her arm, was accosted by a gentleman, who naked permission to accompany her. Certainly,' said she; Just hold my bundle while I tie my stocking;' and presenting it to him as she spoke, instantly ran off at speed. The gentleman felt a slight movement in the bundle, and in great trepidation trotted after her, re peatedly bawling out,' Here, you woman, come back and take your It by." Soon a crowd gathered to learn the nature of his distress. A woman gave me her baby to hold, and then ran off, piteously exclaimed the man of burden. Take it to the almshouse,' shouted some half dozen voices. 'Let us see it first,' cried one more saga. cious than the rest; an I, as a large coarse towel was unfolded, out jumped a full-grown cat, who scampered off amid the vociferous shouts and laughter of all pre sent save one, who looked awfully std. It seems that a lady, desiring to rid her house of one of these animals, whose petty larcenies in the kitchen were a source of great annoyance, had commissioned the servant girl to take it out of the neighbourhood and drop it." I Ou Wednesday last a large eagle, who has taken up bis quarters at Blarney, eoized upon a plump, well grown pig, and flew a considerable distance, but was terrified into the surrender of his prey by the shouting of the spectators.— Cork Reporter. VBETH. Mr. Robert Pile, of Treston:cottage, South Lam twth, and Frederick James Danger Cape, of the same residence, young men or respeetnbie m)pearnnee, were plAced 4t the bar before Mr. Elliott on a charge of con;dring together to defraud Mr. William Match wick- and others at present unknown. Mr. George Henry Drew, of Parliament-street, solicitor to the Arts Union, attended for the prose cution ; Mr. Dilk, one of the executive committee for carrying out his Royal Highness Prince Albert's design for the great exhibition of the works of art and industry of all nations in 1851, and Mr. Dighy Wyatt, s , cretary to the committee, were present, us well as Mr. Dille senior. Mr. Drew, addressing the magistrate, said the charge against the prisoners was that of conspiring to defraud the public by means of a❑ advertisement, published, he believed, in most of the provincial newspapers in England, Ireland, and Scotland, and which he should read from a Plymouth paper then in his hand. The Learned Gentleman here read the following advertisement, wtiich was in a conspicuous part of the paper : " TUE GREAT EXHIBITION OF WORKS oF ART AND IN DUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS IN 1851. " Patron his Royal Highness Prince Albert, President of the Society of Arts. " Treston Chambers, South Lambeth, Loodon, December, 1849. " The avowed object of this undertaking is to afford the ingenious and industrious of all nations an opportu nity of testing the relative merits of tie r works, and to offer the community facilities for determining the value of the productions of every clime. The Committee have to inform bankers, merchants, traders, and me chanics, that the report, as submitted to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, containing the names of pro nuoteqs, subscribers, and all those who have already prolesel an intentio❑ of aiding the execution of tfe above undertaking, together with a full description of the number of works of art already sent in, with com plete instructions for those who are desirous of co operstng with the Committee i❑ carrying out his Royal Highness's design, is now prepared, and will be sent to any part of the United Kingdom on receipt of six post , age stunies. " FREDERICK DAMER, " ROBERT WALLINGSBROOK, " Assistant lion. Secretaries." This advertisement, it would be shown, was en tirely unauthorized by the executive committee or its secretary. The committee made no such report as that alluded to, and the object of the parties causing the insertion or such an advertisement in the public newspapers was manifestly one of fraud. His Wor ship would hear from Mr. Wyatt, the secretary to the Committee for Promoting the Exhibition of Works of Art, and Industry of all Nations, that the advertisement in question had not been inserted by him or with his sanction, that the prisoners were not engaged in any way by the committee ; on the contrary, they were perfect strangers to them, and hal no authority to insert such an advertisement; and, therefore, the affair had been concocted for the purpose of fraud. His Worship would also hear from the statement of the officers, that they found at the re• sidence of the prisoners several newspapers from all parts of the country, and all containing the advertise ment. The officers also found some papers, one of which appeared to be an original manuscript draught of the advertisement itself, and some parcels of postage stamps, in sixpenny slips, so that no doubt could remain that the prisoners were the concoctors of the fraud. Mr. William Matchwick, of 23, Green street, Golden-square, was then called, and stated that he was in the employment of the Executive Committee for Promoting the Exhibition of Works of Art. On the day before he saw the copy of a printed advertisement (that now produced), and in conse quence enclosed six postage stamps in a letter, which he directed, agreeably to the advertisement, " to Messrs. Darner and Wallingsbrook, Treston Cham bers, South Lambeth," and posted the letter himself. Mr. Drew—Did you receive any answer to that letter? Witness—No, Sir, I did not. Mr. Drew—Well, go on with your statement. Witness—Well, Sir, this morning I went with Mr. Wyatt and the officers to Treston-chambers, the address in the advertisement, and it was arranged that the officers should go first, and that Mr. Wyatt and myself should follow at a given signal. On the signal fixed on being given, Mr. Wyatt and myself went up to the place, which is a small cottage, and saw the place in confusion. The prisoners were the only male persons there, but they did not, in my presence, say anything about the advertisement. They arc perfect strangers to me. Mr. Matthew Digby Wyatt, secretary to the executive committee appointed by the Society of Arts for carrying out the object and design of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in the great Exhibition of Works of Art and Industry of all Nations, in 1851, stated that no report containing a list of the works of art already sent in had been made to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, as no works of art had been sent in. Mr. Wyatt di I not know the names of Frederick Darner or Robert Wallingsbrook. They are not the assistant-secretaries of the committee. The committee had no knowledge whatever of the advertisement that had been read by Mr. Drew, and alluded to by the last witness. The prisoners were perfect strangers to him (Mr. Wyatt), and had no authority whatever from him to insert such an adver ti-ement as that which had been put in in evidence. Mr. John Land, inspector of the detective police, said that in consequence of information which he received from Mr. Wyatt, he went on that morning to a small cottage in South Lambeth, and finding the door closed he knocked, and it was opened by a woman. He inquired for Mr. Darner or Mr. Wall ingsbrook, and was told that neither was there. On knocking at the door he saw the prisoner Cape get up from a seat and run out of the room, and this circum stance exciting his suspicions, he entered the cottage and spoke to the woman, when the prisoner Pile came out of the back room in his shirt-sleeves, and Sergeant Whisker brought the other prisoner, Cape, into the same room. He (Mr. Land) told the prisoners who he was, and said that from information he had re ceived he should take both into custody of a charge of defrauding several persons. Pile directly said, he only took the letters in for a person named Miller. Mr. ELLIOTT--At that time had you said anything about letters? Mr. Land—No, Sir, I had not. Pile further said that he had taken in upwards of 90 let ters since Monday, and that he gave Miller 12 or 14 on the night before. Witness then observed that there was a number came that morning by post, and the prisoner Pile replied that they had, but that they were for himself, and he had burned as soon as he had read them. The other prisoner, Cape, was present all this time. lie (Land) then searched the place, and in a tin cash-box found four sixpenny parcels of postage stamps; he also found six other stamps, not in the box ; on the rnantlepiece a pocket book, which Pile owned, and on examining it, discovered on the re mains of a leaf that had been partly torn a portion of the advertisement in manuscript. He further found in the room a piece of paper, on which was written, in Pile's handwriting— . _ " Dear Green,-1 have 3s. worth of postage stamps ; will you give me 2s. 6d. for them ? " Yours, R. PILE." A great number of provincial papers, all containing the advertisement, were about the place. Pile—Not concealed in any way ? Witness—No. Jonathan Whisker, a sergeant belonging to the detective police, who accompanied Land, corrobo rated a great portion of that officer's testimony. In addition, he said that on searching the room he found, under a sofa, a copy of the Wakefield and Weid Riding Examiner, addressed to " Messrs. Darner and Wallingsbrook, Treston-chambers, south Lam beth," and this paper he found contained the adver tisment. He also found 16 copies of different pro vincial journals, all containing the advertisement, but no report, containing the names of promoters, sub scribers, &c., and a full description of the number of the works of art already sent in. The prisoner Cape, in his defence, said that a fort night last Saturday a person named Miller called on him at Pile's cottage, where he lodged, and requested that some letters that would be addressed to him there might be taken in for him. He gave his consent to do so, but the letters began to pour in so fast, and observing that they were addressed to Messrs. Darner and Wallingsbrook, and that those names appeared in the advertisement, he suspected that all was not right, and suggested to Pile the propriety tof going to the Society of Arts and mentioning the whole of the circumstances. Pile an d hi mse lf h a d ma d e u p th e i r minds to go to the society on that very morning, but, bAore staring, the officers unfortunately called. . The p.- prisoner Pile made a long but somewhat statement. Miller, he said, was a speculator in railways, and had been for some years a client to his father, who, for some years prior to his death, was a solicitor in Hatton-garden. . .• Both the prisoners were remanded until Wednes day next, and Mr. ELLIOTT objected to take bail for their appearance.
