THE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN THE CITY, For some days there has been a great deal of conversa tion in the City, and no slight apprehensions have been en tertained, relative to the several forgeries which are in cir culation through the country, and have been issued by John Bentley, of the house of Bentley, Dear, and Co., ware housemen, of Cheapside, and of Cannonbury House, Islington. The house was in very extensive business, the returns in sale for thirteen months having been upwards of 400,0001., although the capital never exceeded the sum of 9,0001. The partners of Mr. Bentley attended the counter, and left the bills, cash, and accounts wholly to his manage ment. Mr. Pawson, who had been in the firm, and retired from the partnership long before any suspicion was enter tained of the management of the person holding the most responsible station, is wholly unconnected with the concern. It is necessary to make this statement, a mischievous para graph having appeared in some of the Sunday papers on the subject. The gentlemen who belong to the firm are exonerated from all blame, and were totally ignorant of the system upon which Mr. Bentley had acted, and which, were it not for their suspicions, could not have been detected so soon as it has been. One of the partners was led to expect that there was something wrong, or, as the thieves significantly describe a robbery, " a screw loose." He judged partly from the disappearance of a bill to which he wanted to refer, and partly from some equivocal expressions which Mr. Bentley had incautiously dropped. He was apprehensive for the honour of the house, and consulted a gentleman who was well qualified to give advice. The representation made was of such a nature that the parties were advised to break open Mr. Bentley's desk immediately, and try whether the private accounts of that person corresponded with the books of the counting-house. A list was found in the desk con firmatory of the suspicions entertained by the partner, who sought Mr. Bentley, told him that appearances were ex tremely bad, and that unless it could be shown that the house was solvent, a stop should be put to it, in order that the assets might be preserved for the creditors. Mr. Bentley gave his partners the strongest assurance that the house was more than solvent, and that he could procure assistance to any amount from a large concern in the city, which had discounted extensively for him. He also stated that he was in daily expectation of large funds from the north, and that, in fact, there was no chance of the interposition of any difficulty. The house he referred to as being disposed to serve him actually undertook to ad vance the necessary funds to meet the outstanding bills which would be soon due (10,0001.), until Mr. Bntley should be able to bring up from the north the supplies promised from that quarter. They began with advancing 1,0001. immediately, but ultimately they were obliged themselves to stop, and Bentley, having received intimation of the event in due time, absconded. The stock in the house at the time was very large, and it is believed that it was the determination of the runaway to get together as la'rge a sum as he could, and to abandon his partners without explanation. One ground of suspicion arose from the fact that it ap peared by some of his private entries found in the desk which had been broken open, that bills had been accepted by per sons who had gone to America previously to the date they bore, and that the Stamp Office die for bills of exchange had been altered after the departure of the supposed ac ceptors, who could not consequently have left those stamps behind them accepted. None of those bills could be found. As soon as it was ascertained that Bentley had absconded, notice was sent to Bow-street office, and a reward was offered of one hundred guineas from the office of Mr. Ashurst, the Solicitor, to several of the creditors, for the apprehension of the offender. On Wednesday last Mr. Stafford, the chief clerk o: Bow-street, received the following letter " Harwich, Sept. 30. " Sir—hi looking over the Police Gazette of the 27th inst. I there saw an advertisement of a person answering the de scription of the one absconded from Bentley and Co. He arrived here on Tuesday last early in great haste to go over to Holland, and engaged a small vessel to convey him there; but, producing one of the bills drawn or accepted by Bentley and Co., the person would not take him unless he gave him the cash. He therefore proceeded by a chaise to Manningtree, and from thence to Ipswich, where he got one or more cashed, and returned to Harwich in a very short time in great haste, to go over sea, and the Captain who took him over told me he put him on board a pilot-vessel near Helvoetsluys, bound to Rotterdam. I thought it proper to drop you these few lines as far as came under my notice, and beg to remain your obe dient humble servant, _ _ . " WILLIAM BURTON, " Chief Constable, Harwich." The creditors met to the number of upwards of 150 on Monday last at the Baptist Head Coffeehouse, and resolved that steps should be immediately taken to apprehend Bentley. At the meeting a communication which seemed to cause general suspicion was made. It was stated that Bentley had, immediately before he absconded, issued two promissory notes in- the name of the firm, for 10,0001. each, and that these notes were placed in the hands of third per sons. It was also hinted that other transactions of a simi lar kind had also occurred, and the meeting came to a de termination to issue the fiat as soon as possible. It was also resolved that Mr. Edward Wilson, Mr. David Evans, Mr. Spiers, of Spitalfields, and Mr. Brand, should be re quested to superintend the business until the assignees should be chosen, and that the sales should be continued in the same way as they had been carried on from the time of the stoppage to the day of the meeting of the creditors. We understand that the moment the stoppage took place directions were issued not to receive any goods into stock which should arrive from the country in consequence of previous orders, and the partners of Bentley were requested to superintend the business on behalf of the creditors, and readily undertook to act upon the occasion. The following is the balance-sheet exhibited to the cre ditors by the accountant : THE ESTATE OF BENTLEY, DEAR, AND CO.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.-(THIS DAY.) This morning Messrs. TOMLYN and THOMPSON resumed their sittings at Guildhall. (Before Mr. THOMPSON.) Four householders of the parish of St. Augustine claimed to be rated. The Vestry Clerk said two of the claimants bad paid the Poor's Rates, but not the taxes, up to the time required by the act, the 20th of April. The third, on the score of poverty, was suffered to compromise the Poor Rate. He never paid the full amount of the rate, or had receipt given him. The fourth claimant had complied with all the regulations of the act. Mr. THOMPSON accordingly struck out the first three claims and admitted the fourth. ST. DUNSTAN'S IN THE WEST. Several sirnames were omitted in this list, and others had only the initials inserted. The Vestry Clerk supplied some of the christian-names, but the greater part were struck out for want of the necessary information. One of the names was inserted thus " Thomas K" ; but evidence having been given that the gentleman was so baptized, the name was allowed to stand. ST. 01. AVE, HART-STREET. The omission of comma in this list created some argument. Messrs. Bird and Co., of Mincing-lane, were inserted on the list as James Edward and George Bird, thus making it appear that there were but two parties in the firm. Mr. JAMES BIRD said that three brothers constituted the firm, James, Edward, and George, and it only required the insertion of a comma after his own name James. _ Mr. TH - OMPSON accordingly in3erted the required comma of distinction. (Before Mr. TAMLYN. ) Joshua Simmons Smith, a Major in the Army, had sent a claim to the Returning Officer to be inserted in the list of the Haberdashers' Company, but he had not stated his residence. The C1.E121( of the Company admitted that the claimant was a freeman of the city and a liveryman of the Company, but he was at present travelling on the Continent. The BEAD' lt swore that he knew thA claimant's residence to be at No. 15, Bruton-street. _ _ The Returning Officer made no objection to the claim, and it was admitted. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

The fiat was then obtained, and immediately opened. she had also takeniessons. After much demurring it was elicited from her by the Commissioners that Esther had been first introduced to the plaintiff by herself, at a ball given by him to his pupils about a year since, to which she had per suaded her to go, whilse she was staying at her house on a visit. Being touched by the " gay and festive scene," and smitten, she became enamoured with-him, and was accord ingly a continual visitor at Miss Wells' house, when she had frequent opportunities of seeinc , him. After a short time the acquaintance ripened into an intimacy of a more tender and " friendly" character, which continued (of course un known to the father) for about eight months, when, in con sequence of his paying Miss Wells more attention than she thought he ought to do, the " green-eyed monster" (of whose influence it would seem even Quakeresses are sus ceptible) caused a quarrel to take place between them. Defendant, who appeared much hurt at the disclosure, addressed his daughter, who kept her handkerchief to her face, and said, " Esther, why bath Satan influenced thee to deceive me and tell me an untruth ? Had I known this thou shouldst not have come here." REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT. CITY OF WESTMINSTER. :3IPORTANT DECISION RESPECTING THE RIGHT or TE- WANTS TO VOTE. The list of voters residing in Hackney stood adjourned to yesterday morning from the. Tower Hamlets, for the con sideration of no less than 68 cases objected to. Mr. COVENTRY, in giving his decision upon the question, spoke to the following effect :—The principal question in this list is, whether the landlords of small houses in this parish are entitled to a vote for the county when their te nants may have, if they were rated, a vote for the borough of the Tower Hamlets. It was alleged that the tenants cannot be registered for the borough because the landlord stood rated on the books of the parish, and was made liable —by local Act of Parliament—for all rates which his te nant may omit to pay. It was a proper precaution on the part of the parish to render builders who erect small houses responsible for that class of tenantry which they thus intro duce to the district. The simple question was, whether those houses are of sufficient value to confer on the tenants the borough franchise, within the 27th section, which de clares that every male person who shall occupy as owner or tenant any house of the clear yearly value of not less than ten pounds, shall be entitled to vote for, the city or borough wherein it is situate, provided each person shall have occu pied the premises twelve months, and have been rated to the poor during such his occupation. Now it was said that these tenants had not been rated to the poor during the preceding twelve months, and moreover, that they could not , be so rated in consequence of the Local Act declaring that the landlord alone shall be liable for the poor ' rates. It would, however, be found, on reference to the Act in question, that the parish authorities are not prohi bited from rating the tenants if they prefer the security of the tenant to the landlord ; and the 30th section of the Reform Act expressly provided for that very case, namely, that if the landlord is liable for and paid the poor rate, the tenant may claim to be rated, and upon so claiming, and actually paying or tendering the full amount of the rates, if any then due, the overseers are required to put the name of the occupier on the rate for the time being, and in case they shall neglect or refuse so to do, such occupier shall, for the purposes of that Act, but only for those purposes, be deemed to be rated. If, therefore, the tenant should be obliged to pay any rates which his landlord had omitted to , pay, he might deduct the same out of his rent, he having agreed to pay a certain sum annually free of all rates and taxes. Up to this point it was quite clear that the tenants might, by using due diligence, acquire the borough fran chise. But there was one other point which had not been urged against these objections, namely, that the 27th sec tion of the Reform Act required the occupier not only to be rated, but to have paid the rates. It was true that the 30th section merely said that the party claiming to be rated should be deemed to have been rated, and not that he should be deemed to have paid the rates. That, however, must necessarily be implied, for he was deemed to be rated during the period for which be claimed, and in contempla tion of the claim is evidently rendered liable for any rate that remained unpaid ; so that if there were no rates due when he made the claim he would not be liable for any, and, not being liable, he must be considered as having paid the rates up to the 20th of July in each year, within the spirit and meaning of the 27th clause. The words " unless such person shall have paid" in that clause meant unless he, or some other person on his behalf, had paid the rates. Now here the landlord had paid the rates for his tenant, and the claiming to be rated must be deemed not only as actually rated, but as having paid the rates, and which in reality he did, or was liable to do, by agreeing to pay an additional rent. On the whole the Learned Gen tleman was of opinion that this case fell within the 25th section of the Reform Act, which deprived the landlord of his vote for the county for the same property which gave his tenant a right to vote for a borough, whether in the words of the Act the tenant " shall, or shall not, have ac tually acquired the right to vote in respect thereof." The Learned Gentleman also stated that many objections raised in the district in which they were assembled turned upon precisely the same point, and therefore his decision now would prevent the necessity of his stating the grounds of his adjudication in each case. Mr. KEENE said that the claim to be rated, if made in due time, and tender of payment of rates by the tenant; placed the tenant in the same situation as if he had been rated and payment had actually been made. There being nothing, therefore, to prevent the occupier from acquiring the right to vote for the borough so far as the voting was concerned, the question resolved itself into one of value. Now there was only one state of circumstances under which a person claiming to vote for the county in respect of leasehold houses situated in a borough could sustain his claim, and that was, where the houses were separately of insufficient value to confer upon the occupier a right of voting for the borough, but in the aggregate of sufficient value to entitle the landlord to the county franchise. He concurred in all the observations of his Learned Colleague, and he should not have added any thing to what had fallen from him, had it not been that so large a number of claims depended upon the application of these principles ; and it might be satis factory, therefore, to the claimants to know that there was no difference of opinion. The Commissioners interrupted him, and said that al though it was evident from the evidence • of Miss Wells (who, by - the by, had done herself no credit) that Miss Smith had been " tripping" with the plaintiff unknown to him, still they had great doubts that he had any intention to charge for lessons until the quarrel took place between them. They should therefore dismiss the summons. The defendant, taking out his purse, gave it to his daugh ter, saying, " Esther, what thou owest pay." She accord ingly took out two sovereigns and laid them down, which the plaintiff took up and pocketed. All the parties then quitted the Court. PALACE COURT, OCT. 3. POOR LAWS AMENDMENT. ST. MARYLEBONE BOARD OF GUARDIANS AND DIRECTORS, The above Board met yesterday morning at the work house. After the usual business of the Board had been disposed of, the consideration of the questions of the Secre tary of the Poor Law Commissioners was brought on. The Chairman, Mr. REDWOOD, having read the ques tions to,the Board, Mr. POTTER said the subject before them was not the propriety or the impropriety of opposing a measure that had become the law of the land, but whether they should be one of the first Boards to pay deference to the Poor Law Commissioners in their riding over the legislative govern ment of parishes, or whether they should defer the taking any notice of the communication from the Commissioners, until some future period. The resolution he had to pro pose was—" That the further consideration of the questions of the Nor Law Commissioners be postponed sine die, and he did hope that the resolution would be carried. Mr. LANGIIAM seconded the resolution. Mr. KNOCK did not wish to divide the Board on the question. Mr. SODEN supported the motion. Dr. HARRISON would wish the question to be postponed that the Board might be specially summoned. The churchwarden (Mr. Hodgkinson) obserV-ed that this was an adjourned discussion, and that the Board had been specially summoned to attend it. The CHAIRMAN should hardly feel it consistent as a guardian and director of the poor to put the question for the consideration of the motion sine die. While he was a di rector and guardian he was bound to execute the laws, and a resolution refusing to comply with the law would appear so inconsistent that he could scarcely put it. If the reso lution were carried, and he saw the Board determined to act upon it, he was sure that his presence would be so far from advancing the general good of the parish that he should feel bound to withdraw from the Board. After considerable discussion upon postponing the ques tion fora fortnight or a month, Dr. HARnisoN moved an adjournment of the question for the former period ; the amendment having been seconded, After a reply from Mr. POTTER, the motion for the ad journment of the question sine die was then put and carried. COURT OF REVIEW. In the matter of Bentley, Dear, and Co.—Exparte Wilson and another.—Before his Honour the Chief Justice, who sat especially for the purpose.—Mr. Montagu for the Pe titioner. The petitioner prayed that the fiat in this case might he directed to Mr. Commissioner Evans. The petition and the affidavit of Mr. Ashurst, the soli citor, stated that a fiat had issued against Bentley, Dear, and Co. ; that the ballot had fallen to Mr. Commissioner Evans ; that he was in town, and ready to proceed ; that the Registrar declined to allot the said fiat to the said Com missioner, conceiving himself restrained by one of the rules of the 12th of January, 1832, because a separate fiat had been recently issued against the above-named John Bent ley, and that separate fiat had been directed to Mr. Commissioner Williams ; that petitioner contended that they were entitled of right to ballot for the said Com missioner, and to proceed before Mr. Commissioner Evans, to whom the same had fallen, and were not re strained by the rule of Court ; that Mr. Commissioner Williams was out of town, and would remain out of town for some time, as petitioners believed ; that the estate was considerable, and various important questions likely to arise for discussion before the choice of assignees took place, and the petitioners were anxious to have the continuous atten tion of one Commissioner through the whole of the proceed ings ; and it was, in their opinion, most important to the interest of the creditors, whose debts amounted in the as to upwards of 100,0001. Mr. MONTAGU submitted that the rule which directed that second and renewed fiats should be sent to the same Commissioner to whom the fiat had been directed did not apply in this case, as this was the case of a joint fiat against Bentley and others, and not a second fiat against Bentley alone ; but if his Honour should think it did, then, as the Commissioner to whom it would go was not in town, it was clear that the creditors were entitled to have the fiat di rected to a Commissioner who would prosecute it through all its stages. It was one of the inconveniences of the old system that the Commissioners were fluctuating, and the creditors here were anxious to have the continuous atten tion of one Commissioner through all the stages of the fiat. His HONOUR said that the Registrar had acted rightly in submitting the question to the Court, and he thought that the rule had been correctly construed by the 'Regis trar, but that, as the Commissioner to whom by the opera tion of that rule the fiat would be directed was out of town, COURT OF REQUESTS, OCT. 3. THE DANCING MASTER AND THE "TRIPPING" QUAKERESS, OR DE BOURG V. SMITH. The plaintiff in this case was a professor of dancing, who sought to recover from the defendant, a Quaker, the sum of 395. l Id., reduced from two guineas to bring it under the jurisdiction of this Court, for two quarters' instruction given to Miss Esther Smith, his daughter. The plaintiff, who was about forty years of age, with moustachios and bushy black whiskers, stated that Miss Smith had received half a year's private instruction in dancing from him, and when he sent in his bill to the de fendant he refused to pay it. The Defendant said—Friends, I can assure thee, I la ways pay the dues to whom I am indebted, but to this man I owe nothing, and Esther hath told me that she bath had no acquaintance with him. She is here, and thou canst inquire of her whether she bath learned the ungodly prac tice or not. Miss Esther then came forward. She was a very pretty young Quakeress, and appeared to be about eighteen years of age. She stood with her back towards the plaintiff while in answer to the questions of the Commissioners, she af firmed that she had never been under his instruction, but evaded giving an answer as to whether or not she had seen him before. The plaintiff (addressing her) said—Miss Esther, you know that you have been to my house three or four times a week. Miss Esther (still keeping her back to him) said—Nay, What I have said is so. _ _ _ .... - The plaintiff then called a Miss Wells, at whose appear ance Esther appeared quite disconcerted, and the defendant much surprised. She stated that she had been a pupil of the plaintiff's, and until lately an intimtte acquaintance of Miss Smith, who had many times accompanied her to the plaintiff's house, on which occasions she had seen her take lessons, and trip" the light fantastic toe." Miss Smith had also gone there repeatedly by herself, when she understood On Monday last, at Terrington St. John, two men, having cleaned out a well belonging to Mr. Shorten, passed over to the opposite house for the same purpose. As soon as the tcp was uncovered one of the men immediately descended, when he slipped, fell to the bottom, and broke his neck. The other went to his assistance, but the length of time he was ab sent excited suspicion, and a third followed, who was with dif ficulty rescued from the fate of the other two, who were both found to be dead. No precaution having been taken to purify the air in the well, it is supposed they were suffocated. We understand one of the men has left a wife and seven children. An Inquest was yesterday held on the bodies.— Cambridge Chronicle. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—O❑ Thursday evening the keepers in Hyde Park were aroused by the screams of a drowning person ; they hastened to the bridge, and in time to rescue a man (who had twice sunk from a watery grave) in the Serpentine River. He was taken to St. George's Hospital. The individual was the servant of Colonel Wemyss, of Ken sington, excited by drink, but the temporary madness ceased when he came in contact with the water. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—The neighbourhood of Covent- garden was last night thrown into a considerable state of excitement by the circulation of a report of a gentleman having committed suicide. On inquiry it appeared that a gen tleman who-had resided at the Garrick's Head, in Bow-street, for nearly three years, at about half-past eight yesterday even ing had thrown himself from the window of the third story of that house, and, although not immediately killed, is so dread fully injured that his recovery is considered impossible. A boy who was passing at the moment had a narrow escape, the un fortunate gentleman in his fall having just "brushed " him. ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—On Friday, Louisa Stradling gave information at the Guildhall, Bath, of a pre. meditated attempt made by her husband, James Stradling, to take away her life on the preceding night. About twelve months since this man, who had previously sold his wife at Lansdowne fair, again exhibited her for sale in our public market-place, when a warrant was issued against him for a breach of the peace, and he was committed for six months' imprisonment. Since that period the parties bad lived toge ther only six weeks. On Thursday, Stradling, with apparent kindness, proposed to his wife to take a wa lk w i t h h er a l ong the banks of the canal , adding that lie intended to catch some eels. They proceeded to the canal at th e b ac k o f S y d ney Parade, when he placed his wife between the lock gates, and desired her to throw the hook and line into the water whilst he sought for a worm. After a sh or t a b sence h e returned, and suddenly pushed his wife into the water, a fall of twelve feet, and then immediately ran off. Her clothes, however, became inflated as she fell, and her cries having brought, as sistance, she was rescued. He was apprehended the follow ing day and committed for trial.

BOXALL V. BICKLEY. This was an action of trespass brought by Mr. Richard Boxall, a cornchandler and coachmaster, residing in the Clapham-road, against Mr. Thomas Bickley, a saddler, of the same place, to try the right of entry into certain pre mises which he alleged he rented of the defendant. The damages were laid at 4/. 19s. The plaintiff rented of the defendant a house in the Clapham-road, of which be granted him a lease. There was an adjoining wing, and the plaintiff considered that he was entitled to the wing. The defendant it was proved had resided in the wing for nearly thirty years. Some short time ago he let the wing to his son-in-law, a shoe maker, and on the plaintiff entering the rooms he was turned out, for which he brought his action to try the question. It was contended that the premises had not been demised to the defendant, and the counterpart of the lease was put in and read. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. The trial lasted four hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday two persons, named William Twisden and John Amos, otherwise Brooks, were brought before Mr. Al derman KELLY on suspicion of having stolen a warrant of attorney for 6301. from Mr. Justice Vaughan's chambers, the property of Messrs. Knight and Fyson, solicitors, Church-Court, Clement's-lane. Mr. Knight on Friday last attended at the Judge's chambers to make an affidavit annexed to the warrant of attorney, and he left both documents with the Judge's clerk, stating that he would send for them in the morning. On Thursday morning Twisden called upon him and stated that the warrant of attorney had been found lying in the street, and that he could get it back for three sovereigns. He said the party who held it had been at some expense to get it out of the hands of the person who found it, and he produced a note signed " W. 13.," relating that the paper had been found. Mr. Knight told him he was will ing to make him some compensation for his personal trouble if he restored the paper, provided be was not the person who stole it from the Judge's chambers, for he was satisfied it could not have been found in the street, and for the sake of the profession he would enter into no compromise with the thief. Twisden said be would see the party and call again. He was followed and observed to join the other prisoner, and both of them were subsequently given in charge to Mealy, a City policeman, on returning towards Mr. Knight's office. The warrant of attorney was in the possession of Twisden, being handed to him by Amos as they were walking in the new street near the Mansion-house. Mr. Wilkinson, the Judge's clerk, placed this document with various other papers on his desk about two o'clock on Friday, and did not miss it till the next morning, when Mr. Knight's clerk applied for it. The other papers were severally delivered to the owners, and this warrant of at torney must have been stolen during his occasional absence from his room. He identified it by his initials written on the margin. The prisoners did not know the paper had been stolen. They had offered to restore it to the gentleman who signed it as a paper of great value to him, and because Mr. Knight's address could not be traced in the document itself. When they took it to Mr. Knight's it was with a view to restore it, and it was unfair to turn on them and charge them with felony. Mr. Alderman KELLY, however, thought it was a proper case to send for further investigation, and the prisoners were committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. THE NEW POOR LAWS.—Yesterday a respectable looking young woman, with a child in her arms, applied to Mr. GROVE fer his assistance under the following circum stances : The applicant was a native of Birmingham, and she had travelled to London to see after her husband, who had worked somewhere in the City-road. She was, she said, an entire stranger in London ; and on her arrival, which was only on the night preceding, she ascertained that her husband had left London, and gone to Manchester. She had not slept on a bed since she left Birmingham, and she was in a state of urgent distress. The MAGISTRATE said that under the new Act he could not order her relief from any parish. The only advice he could give her was to make the best of her way to her na tive home, and it was very foolish of her to come on such a wildgoose-chase. The worthy Magistrate gave her a trifle out of the poor-box, and she left the Office to beg her way back. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
