The crusados are a coarse coin, of clumsy workmanship; a fae simile of which can easily be executed, and not easily detected, if too much of th e allOy be not mixed with the silver. Many people are running, pale with anxiety and terror, to try to get some coin for their notes. Some of the foreigners, especially the English, have been alarmed, lest the people should imagine that they have been the cause of this convulsion, which the placard at the Bank seems to insinuate. Among an ignorant arid prejudiced people such a belief would lead to fearful results, in case a popular movement took. place; but of the latter there is no apprehension. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Numbers of persons bought it at that price, mid they hurried to the m oney=changers to obtain silver for it. This. occasioned a fall in the price of the Treasury notes, which fluctuated at different shops at from 17 to 20, thereby causing Ulan of at least One per cent. in 'the Bank notes. Groups of. people have been assembled in all quarters talking together, each de livering their sentiments as to this unexpected event. Some persons state, that the Bank' has, for some time past, been in great want of silver, and orders had been sent from the Government to the different receiving -offices, not to send their specie to the Treasury, but directly to the Bank. Every one throws blame on the Direction, whose ignorance or m ismanagement has exposed the country to a com mercial crisis, for they assert that there is a suffi ciency of specie in the country to answer every emergency.that ot swomouel S would buy ebrusyo o g persons r pe e mr a o t ,p a ll o v es a tei s dn t gt h o e i iskdeeli sell them, t t th r h u ee s m t o, o th f the wehri ules n ut o hr notes, offered to take them at a discount of 25 per cent. I have heard of no sales at thaerate, but I saw one man, I believe a goldsmith, purchase a quantity of old gold from the Bank, for their own notes. The Bank has considerable funds, and a large quantity of gold in old pieces of John V., and also in ingots, for which the silver coin, either as a loan or a sale, could soon be procured ; but the DirectiOn has pre ferred exposing their credit •to a dangerous shock, and the commerce of their native country to n con vulsion, rather than- make any effort to support both. Saturday Afternoon. The Government appears to haVe been alarmed too at the.acts of the Bank Direction, and they have issued a Decree, which, though useful . in itself, is ridiculous enough to remind one of the clamour of an old woman who threatens the boys after they had stolen and run away with her apples. But, to un derstand tits Decree, I shall give it to you fully' in a translatioms.;lt is addressed to the Magistrates of the different districts sofLisbon. STOPPAGE OF THE LISBON BANK. LISBON, FRIDAY NOON, DEC. 7, 1827.—A1l Lisbon is now in a consternation : trade, commerce, securities, and property, are all in confusion. The, Bank has stopped the payment of its notes in specie; and as their notes are not a legal tender, it is impossible to say what the mtrehants and other. individuals who have bills to provide for will do.. By the law of this country all payments are made in what is called " currency ;" that is, one half in metal, and the other in Treasury bills or notes. The principal metal which constitutes the currency is silver, in coins called crusades, from their being stamped with a cross, each of a value of about 2s. 3d. The inconvenience of carrying any large sum -of money in that sort of specie has hitherto given great facilities to the Lisbon Bank to. issue notes, payable on demand in those silver pieces. Those notes so p w a e y r a e b a le s h sa a c v l e i r b ee e e e i n ve r d eg ; arded always as metal, and oc casion ; but this mornii r i l g p t a h r e t refuses l ß )a a y i n il i t enttn ) every to ggive silver for them, andnsenale owbelld roundconfus ion.is theßen There itfor has been a crow d assembled s ome time is a copy of a notice .—The followi ng which is affixed at the entrance : " The Direction of the Bank of Liebon informs the public that the unexpected issue of silver in ex= change for its notes has, on account of the exporta tion o f th a t metal to foreign countries, increased to such a height, as wholly to absorb all the silver in their coffers. " The Bank therefore finds itself in the painful circumstances of not being able to continue punctu ally, as heretofore, to give it in exchange for its notes ; and the Direction also states that official information has been addressed to the Government, requesting its assistance in making proper regulations. The Direction also is on its part about to call into practice all its resources fer the purpose of resuming within the shortest space of time the payment of the notes of the Bank. (Signed) " THE DIRECTION OF THE BANK. "7th Dec. 1827." The word " Direction" is equivalent to the word. "Directors" in England; but the persons composing it are of a different description. Most of them have -,verdth, though but few have the experience which is especially necessary for the present occasion. There. is a part of them which consists of men who have obtained money in some retail business, which they have subsequently increased to an enormous amount by usurious transactions. Some persons here, with the usual eagerness of half-educated people to bring accusations against the opponents of their political opinions, do not hesitate to say that those usurers have for some time past been in the habit of collect ing the notes of the Bank, which they sent in daily for payment to the amount of 50,000/. Their ob ject is said to be two-fold; first, to cause confusion ' in the country, so as to annoy the Constitution, and the Prince who is now coming to put himself at its head; and, secondly, to supply the demand which exists in the English market for silver. I have been assured, by persons on whose words I place every relianee, that the packets going to Falmouth have for some time taken large parcels of the silver coinage. It is prohibited here, as in other .countries to export the coin of the . realm; yet - some packets have had 25,000/. on board. Another vague report arises from there being, es • " MINISTRY ur ~ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS , AND „OF JUSTICE. " It havinte reached the knowledge of her Mos, Serene Highness the Infanta Regent that there are in this city merchants, money-changers, and gold smiths, who purchase for snore than their ; value the. silver - crrisadoi naves, in ordef l lß — exptirt them" froni A the kingdom,, either in the shape of money, or melted down and reduced to bars—while at the same time they clip and throw again into circulation others, which they find of greater weight; which acts are Rot only' contrary to sound political economy, inasmuch as, by those criminal and prohibited means, an ex haustion is caused of the circulating metal, of which there has already Peen a great deficiency, but which deserve the severest punishment, as they commit, at the same time, a manifest rob bery on the nation and on individuals :.her moat Serene Highness, in the name of the King, com mands that, without the least delay, you proceed' to institute a competent inquiry, as the' laws require in such cases—by not sparing any examinations or pro ceedings whatever which may be necessary for the discovery of the delinquents, that they may be sen tenced and chastised with all the rigour which jus tice prescribes. Of the progress which may be ef fected by you in this important affair, in which her Highness orders your greatest activity to be exer cised, as also of whatever may occur in regard to it, you will, every four days, without fail, until its con clusion, giVe in a report to this Secretary of State's Office,in order that it may be laid before her Most Serene Highness. " May God preserve you. " " Palace of the Ajuda, Dec. 7, 1827. (Signed) " JOSE FREIRE DE ANDRADE. " Addressed to the Corregidor of Crime in the district of Romulares, and to each of the Criminal Magistrates of the other districts of the city." This Dame has kept the Gaitlte office open all day; but it is thought of no public utility—for, though some few may be taken up on suspicion, it cannot be put into effect against men of wealth, when the whole corps of men connected with justice have each their well-known price for shutting their eyes and letting any criminal escape. There is p ri e d l i i c t u ie l e e l co e n ce n n ec o t m ed y h d y is p * ri h n o ci p p ro les no o u f ne th e a s t s some displayed by i t h t t h h e e m kn i o n r s l t e e d r g N e vh o o f d f w rtr at ed at t e h t i s h e D i e e c u r e e , o s c d i e o n g e rn e, a t o i f c a t l h l y e breach of which they consider the Minister of Fi nance guilty. It sounds, too, rather odd indeed to. hear a Minister say that the silver coin of the coun try was bought at more than its value. I have been assured that this'Government, after a variety of doubts and difficulties, have come to a decision to issue a Decree, commanding the ..circula tion of the bank notes at the value of the. metal cur rency. Thus Portugal will be placed with, five sorts of currency—two dpaper, and three of metal. The two first are the Treasury notes, now Selling at 20 discount; Bank notes, at from one to two discount; gold, which is now about 25 per cent. pfemium on its original value : silver, which is about eight pre mium on its first issue; and copper, which may be taken as the standard, as being the lowest denomina tion of circahiting medium, to which all the metals arc reducible. Thcro is a great variety of reports respecting the time at which the Bank will resume its payments; some think on Monday—others think later ;but there i s not hing but conjecture on the matter : all, how ever, agree in condemning this act of -the Bank Di rection, W hich, it is said, is contrary to the specified articles of the Charter. Some say that- this is a speculation on the part of the Bank Directors to lower their own notes and the Treasury notes in the market, which their agents, who have a great quan tity of spec i e a t command, may purchase at much lessened price and send soon into the Bank at the first value. If the Bank Direetors dared to form such a speculation, they would merit hanging as much as the infamous judges—for, while the latter traffic in the sale of justice, the former would attempt to profit by the sale of public honour, individual ho nesty, and commercial credit. That the -Bank Di rectors are ignorant and inexperienced is beyond question ; but it is to be hoped that they are not knaves into the bargain. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 15.--The business in the British Plantation Sugar market this week amounts to about 900 hhds ; the demand was met freely by the holders at a reduction of ls. per cwt. from last week's prices. Nothing done in East India or Foreign Sugar. About 150 punchs. Molasses have been taken at 295. for Berbice, and 30s. per cwt. for Demerara. In Coffee the sales have been trifling, consisting only of a few casks to the trade at former rates. Two hundred bags fair Barbadoes Ginger have been sold by public auction at 455. 6d. to 495. per cwt. ; and by private treaty a lot of 150 bags East ,India Black Pepper at nd. per lb. In Rum the sales are limited and prices steady. We have had a steady demand for .Cotton throughout the whole of the week ; the sales (of which 5000 hags American have been on specula tion, and .'soo,bags for export) amount to 14,500 bags, consisting of 6100 Bowed at 51d. to 7d., 'chiefly at 50. to sid. for middling to fair; 1140 Orleans at 51d.• to 81, chiefly at 6i-d. to 7d. for ' middling fair to good fair; 3640 Mobile and Ala bama at 51d. to 6id.; 210 Sea Island at 12d. to 20d.; 4O Stained ditto at 61-d. to 10d.; 60 0 Per nambuco at Sid. to 9d. ; 800 Maranham at 71d. to 8-acli; 230 Bahia at Id. to Bd.; 1230 Egyptian at 71‘to M., chiefly at lid. ; i3O Demerara at 71d. to 714..; 30 Tortola at 51d. to 6id.; 30 Carthagena at 4id.; 330 Surat at 4d. to 4td.; 120 Bengal at 4d. to 41d. The arrivals are 2097 bags; 100 Demerara and 100 Vine Barbadoes are declared for auction on the 21st instant. For Tobacco there has been a partial demand for Ireland, and some small parcels have been disposed of at steady prices ; the manufacturers continue to buy sparingly. The Corn Market has been dull, and prices generally have declined a little. For Wheat in bond there is some inquiry, but the holders not being disposed to sell without an advance, very little has been done.-Flour suitable for export is growing scarce.

Mr. BENNETT, King's Counsel, stated the case for the plaintiff. The plaintiff was man in a rank of life comparatively humble, but he was not on that account less welcome to the temple of justice. He lived in Drumker, a small village in Leitrim, where he kept an inn. His family consisted of a wife, a son named Robert, and two daughters. The eldest, Anne, was the subject of this action. She was about 20 years of age. The defendant was a Roman Catholic Clergyman, and, with respect to that gen tleman, be (Mr. Bennett) had no instructions, nor if he had would he follow them, to say one disres pectful word. It was not his practice, and he hoped it never would, to say any thing in a Court of Jus tice disrespectful to any one, or tending to agitate the feelings or distract the minds of the people of this country. No, God forbid The plaintiff's house was in the parish of Innismagrath, of which the defendant had beeli, and still was, the priest.— He came there in February, 1825, and there being no residence for him, took up his abode in the plain tiff's inn, where he continued six weeks until he got a house,of his own. During that time he became intimate with a family, which intimacy continued after he left them. In September, 1826, the plain tiff was thrown into prison at the suit of a creditor. It never entered into the plaintiff's mind that Mr. Maguire, who was so intimate with the family, so high in character, rank, and station, would entertain any criminal intention towards his daughter. But such he (Mr. Bennett) felt it his painful duty now to declare was the case, "While 'the father was in pri son, her seduction was accomplished ; he need not tell them how, as the young woman would be pro duced to state the facts herself. It was necessary for them to know, that the family of the plaintiff was Protestant; and that no marriage between a Pro testant and Catholic in this country was legal, unless performed by a' Protestant clergyman. It might be further necessary for him to mention, that the ap proaches of Mr. Maguire were honourable. The Learned 'Gentleman then proceeded to state the , facts as they subsequently appeared from the - testimony or the witnesses. The Learned Gen tleman read a letter from the Rev. Mr. Maguire, dated in Dublin, in answer to one from Jane, the second daughter. of the defendant, who accused him of participancy in her sister's flight from home, in which he asserted in the most solemn manner his innocence. Other parts of this letter, Mr. Ben nett contended, contained corroboration of the de fendant's guilt. But in addition to his letters, he had pFrsons to produce who would attest the truth of the charge against the defendant. On the 14th of July, 1827, he returned to his parish ; at that time the family had determined to obtain legal redress for the injury done than, and from that moment the ruin of the father commenced. Mr. Maguire, in the affidavit made on his part, himself admitted that this poor man could not get a single Catholic to dig out his potatoes. The Rev. Mr. Maguire (who sat near his Counsel) exclaimed, " No, no." 'Mr. O'CoNNELL—No, Mr. Bennett ; he stated that the plaintiff's crop was dug out by Orangemen. Mr. BENNE::: continued—lt was no matter. The most cruel courses were taken to injure and harass him. The defendant had pleaded in two ways— first, a general denial; then that the plaintiff was an insolvent. Such a plea as the latter, in an action of this sort, he had never known before. What was the real meaning of this plea ? That the poor man's daughter might be the object of seduction un punished ? Did any innocent man ever resort to such a defence ? The plaintiff was a poor man—he may be an insolvent ; but, good God ! could they believe that a man would attempt to urge such a plea in a case of this sort in any Court of Justice ? Innocence would never resort to such a subterfuge. With the Jury now remained the question of da mages. He had full confidence that they wouldm vestigate the case with fairness between the parties. He trusted they wo uld not give one farthing more to the plaintiff because the defendant was the Rev. Th oma s Maguire; and that, on the same account, give war their d himeir verdict e f r a d fa r thing accordingless to He trusted ey would a the evidence. Ann Magarahan was the first witness called. Her thw appearance was not very prepossessing for a person in her rank ; she was superbly dressed. She seem ed peffectly at her case while giving her evidence. She was sworn and examined by Mr. Jackson. She stated that she was the daughter of the plaintiff, and described his residence. She knew the defendant, who came to her father's house about three years ago, and resided there about six weeks, during which time he had been kindly treated. He visited after wards, and was on terms of close intimacy. In No vember, 1826, her father was thrown into prison; an intimacy of a peculiar nature took place between her and the defendant after he had performed the marriage ceremony; she. did not recollect the pre cise time, but believe it was in September, 1826. The ceremony was performed in her father's house ; there . was not a third person present ; her father breenw:isnae dw s a h ar e st, was in the . house at the time ; the particular inter aap‘srvto. at chheSeosm eoftimedefendant e r afterthe friendsri commencement, e ts on es: i.e course continued until her departure for England in oo ha dfi d el l d eft ah h e o n in t e t , e a n n d d a k y n s e a w fte t r he sh c e au l , e s f e t o h f e i r t, fa b t u b t er sh 's e became pregnant and left her father's house, fearing could not say he knew her intention to go to Eng land. She went by the coach to Dublin, and went from . thence to Liverpool in a steam-boat. She ar rived in Manchester early in April; she went to a lodging provided by a former female servant of her father's, named Catherine Magarahan ; she re mained at her . new lodgings about three weeks, during which nothing particular occurred except writing a letter to the defendant. She was delivered of a still born infant in Manchester. She was attended in her con finement. by Dr. Holloway and three women. She received 10/. 7s. 6d. from the defendant previous to her departure for England. Had no other nunleb Apriltaw .shineed r sel ). ;:; ‘l7-N \ nor did she rift the letter she wrote Mr. Mar it :cheater after her confinement, and was at home in a fortnight after. She did not see the defendant during her absence ; never was in Scotland, nor wrote a letter as from that country, Has seen the defendant write.—(AL letter was handed to her, which sbe stated was in his hand-writing; it was dated May 4, 1827.) She h a Protestant, and believes her father was always one, Sbe saw the defendant four or five times after her return, at his own house; on two of those occasions her sister was present. Re'Ceived letters from him after her arrival; they were delivered by Catherine M'lnweeny. At one of these inter views, the defendant offered to give her 3001. if she would declare, that now, for the first time, she was at liberty since her return, and be said that more wauld be made up for her, if she consented to come into Court, throw herself upon the mercy of the Judge, and declare that was a fabrication. Her sister was present on this occasion. All intercourse ceased between them on the morning of his depar ture for Dublin. In the last month, or the month before, she acted in no particular capacity ;' she was in the habit of attending the bar. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Cosnsm---Did you ever deny what you have sworn to this day ? r -I might have denied it. Did you ever take a false oath ?—I do not re- t collect. Did you never take an oath that all this business was a conspiracy against Mr. Maguire ?—No. Do you distinctly say, you never offered to swear that this was a diabolical conspiracy against Mr. Maguire ?—I never offered to swear, but I said I would swear. (Great laughter.) In answer to further interrogatories, she said she slept with Miss Dillon, who lived near her father's, for a fortnight, when gone six months with child, and yet that lady never suspected she was in the family way. The bed- they slept in was very nar row, and she and Miss Dillon laced each other every morning. Mr. O'CONNELL—We had a talk just now as to what you offered to swear, or simply agreed to swear. Did you ever say that your family were of fered 6001. for prosecuting the present suit ?—I never did. You never said or wrote any thing to the purport, that your family were offered 600/:'to prosecute this affair ?—Never. Here a letter was produced, which the witness admitted to be in her hand-writing. It contained a declaration that the 6001. was to effect, amongst other purposes, the extinction of " the Jesuit priest." Who gave you that beautiful Leghorn bOnnet ? Mr. Maguire. (Laughter.) But that is a fashionable and excellent gown.—l hope it is the colour you admire ? (The colour was purple.) Mr. O'CoNNErz—I thank this pert and profligate witness for this answer : it gives the Court and Jury an insight into the whole conspiracy, its origin, and motives. Mr. O'CONNELL--Where have you lived since you came to Dublin ? Mr. BENNETT objected to the question. There had bean, a few minutes previously to this, a shout in the hall, to which Mr. Bennett referred as a proof of the danger of answering the question, pointing to the consequences which might happen to persons in whose society she had been in town. Mr. O'CONNELL—My Lord, this is delusive, or foolish. I will show how much the opposite party are influenced by delicacy or fear in the present in stance. (To the witness.) Did not your brother go to the chapel door of Mr. Maguire to serve his latitat, and did he not know that the Bishop was in the chapel at the time ?—He did. Mr. O'CoNNELL—So much for the apprehensions under which these good people labour. She was further cross-examined by Mr. O'CON NELL, and admitted that in Manchester she went by the name of Armstrong, that of the gentleman who had given her his wife's gown. Mr. O'CONNELL then read the letter alluded to, and allowed it to be written by her. It was ad dressed to the defendant. In it she speaks of the conspiracy against him : of her having sworn, and being still ready to swear, before a magistrate, of his innocence, and of the sum of 6001. having been offered to her family to go on with the prosecution. By a Juror.—Did you think that the marriage of Mr. Maguire with you was a legal one, and that be nefit could accrue to you from it ?—He told me it was legal, and I believed him. Jane Magarahan was examined by Mr. KEATING. The principal points in her testimony were, that a particular conversation respecting this business oc curred between the witness, her sister, and the de fendant, at his house : she stated to him that she had been persuaded by his victim to come there,when he stopped her mouth by saying that her sister was his wife, and that, in the eyes of Heaven, she should be considered so as long as she had life. Her sister . then told the defendant that she did not believe it ; on which he said he would perform the ceremony again. He rent on his knees, took a book in his hand, and solemnly protested that she was his wife. Her sister desired him to perform the ceremony in presence of a Protestant clergyman. His reply was, " that if he did so, he would be laughed at. Here a person from one of the side passages stated to the Court, that an officer commanding a mili tary party was in waiting, to receive his orders from the Sheriff. This officer applied to the Court in order to obtain, the directions to be observed by the military. Baron SMITH expressed his anxious desire that no unnecessary measure should be adopted, and that no idle calculation of danger should, cause the inter ference of the soldiery. Catherine Magarahan was the next . witness—She deposed to the fact of the birth of the dead child, at Manchester. She was cross-examind by Mr. SHIEL, but nothing of consequence, or at all bearing on the case at issue, ofO'CONNELL all t ons ..... r rose e defence ,one. at five lt was adduced by it.
