EXCHEQUER BILLS FRAUD. REPORT. TO THE QUEEN ' S MOST IXCELLENT MAJESTY. (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) The bills now the subject of inquiry all purport to be of the issues of March and June, 1841, and are made out, in every case, for the sum of 1,0001. They are, as to the paper, stamp, and every other particu lar, genuine, with the exception only of the signature, and that is, in every instance, an imitation, more or less successful, of the signature of the late D€ 2uty-. Comptroller-General. We may stop, therefore, to re mark here, that it was almost impossible that any of those instruments should have awakened (so far as their external appearance was concerned) the suspicion of those to whom'they were offered. We are directed by the Act of Parliament to report "whether the holders employed any and what means of inquiry into the genuineness of such documents :" and in obedience to this, we may here take occasion to state, that though, when suspicion arose from collateral circum stances, the documents were in several instances car ried up to the Exchequer for examination about the time of the discovery of the fraud, yet in other cases (no suspicion being excited) the holders em ployed no means of inquiry into genuineness beyond that cursory inspection which was usual on receiving an Exchequer bill. On the other hand, however, no inspection, though of the closest kind, would, in our opinion, have had any tendency to excite doubt as to the genuineness of the document. Each of the bills in question is also a duplicate, agreeing in number, as well as other particulars, with some other bill; which last has, m many instances, been compared with the counterfoil, and in every such instance has been found to coincide. All the other bills received from Smith were also (as there is ground to believe) duplicates ; and the reason for so manag ing the forgery is evident, for an instrument bearing a wrong number was likely to encounter immediate detection, while, on the other hand, the danger of the alternative plan arose only in the event of duplicates happening tooome into possesion of the same party. There were, however, other precautions to which it was equally necessary for the contrivers of the fraud to attend. In raising money on these instruments it was essential to abstain from sale ; because, when thus brought into general circulation, there would not only be a great risk of their falling into the hands of persons who had duplicates, but there was a certainty of their being carried at the regular periods of exchange to the office of the pay masters, where the duplicates also would of course make their appearance, and lead infallibly to detection. The plan adopted, therefore, was to raise the money in every case by the deposit of the bill upon loan, and before the next period of exchange came round to redeem it by payment of the money, or to sub stitute for it another forged bill of more recent date. This method, it is true, made it necessary to repay in every case (sooner or later) the amount of the mone y procured, as well as to pay the interest due upon the loan ; but the advantage in the meantime derived was the present use of large sums of money, which the confederates endeavoured to employ with a d van t age in extensive speculations in the stock market, actuated, probably, by the hope of realising (after the repayment of every loan) large fortunes i n th e resu lt. In carrying this scheme into effect, the mode of operation was as follows :—At the commencement of the transactions, and for some years afterwards, Ra pallo delivered over the bills received from B, Smith to Angelo Solari, another foreigner, resident in this country, between whom and Rapallo there had ex isted long previously some connexions ; and Solari performed the service of raising money upon the bills. ''his he effected in part through connections formed by the assistance of Messrs. William and James Morgan, stockbrokers. They introduced him (at a time when their own acquaintance with him, accord ing to their evidence, was but slight and recent) to the banking houses of Messrs. Ransom and Com pany, and Jones, Loyd and Company ; and from the former he obtained large sums of money from time to time on the deposit of bills purporting to be Exchequer bills, but which, in fact, had been received from Smith. He obtained, besides, similar loans from Messrs. Price and Co., bankers, but the precise L medium of his introduction to them does not appear. He formed, also about the same period, a connection r with Messrs. William and James Morgan them- Morgan, that to dwell upon them longer in this place would only lead to wearisome repetition. The most material points of difference seem to be, that Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem charged commission on the Exchequer bill loans, as well as on the stock trans actions; and that though they profess to have known nothing of Solari, except as above stated, nor of Rapallo, except 113 the agent of Solari, they represent the former as giving a somewhat more specific account of his position than he is stated to have done to Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, and to have asserted that he was " connected with parties in Madrid and Paris, who were carrying on a large speculation in Spanish and other stocks." Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem admit, however, that they were never employed in any instance, by Solari or Rapallo, to sell an t xche quer bill, and that they never received any informa tion as to the manner in which the bills deposited were procured. These transactions of the confederates with Messrs W. and J. Morgan on the one hand, and Messrs. Ma riner and De Berckem on the other, would appear to have constituted the principal means by which they carried the fraud into effect. We find that the ad vances procured by Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, amounted in the aggregate, from first to last, to about 420,0001., and those of Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem to about 46.5,000/., and that there were bills in the hands of those parties or their depositaries at one and the. same period of time (namely, at the dis covery of the fraud) to the amount of 330,000/. ; of which bills to the amount of 161,0001. had come from Rapallo to the hands of W. and J. Morgan, and bills to the amount of 169,000/. to those of Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem. It is also important to remark that among the transactions to which the 161,000/. relates, there is one which involved de posits to a very large amount simultaneously; for it appears on the evidence of Mr. W. Morgan, that on the 13th of October, 1841, Rapallo being then in debted to him in the ansount of 70,0001. and upwards, applied to Lim for further advances, to the extent of 60,000/. more ' • which Mr. Morgan consented to pro cure, and, in fact, procured accordingly. There is, however, no proof that Messrs. W. and J. Morgan and Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem, though both so largely concerned with bills proceeding from the same source, had, as regards those bills, any know ledge of, or connection with, each other. (To be continued.)

It was currently reported on Tuesday that the meeting would be held at the Market square, and that the chief constable would preside ; however, it was held at P wee y Whiaid (a place about half or three quarters of a mile eastward from the centre of the town), on Wednesday, at the appointed hour, and David Jones, shoemaker, was chosen as chairman, who briefly opened the business of the meeting. We give the substance of the resolut i o ns, which were proposed and seconded in due form by the miners, Thomas Evans, Timothy Thomas, Evan Rees, David Davis, David Ellis, and W. Mills 1. That it is absolutely necessary to inquire into the unparalleled distress now prevailing in Merthyr and its vicinities. " 2. That ,vorkmen and their families cannot pos sibly support themselves and families, unless they shall have the same wages as they had two years ago. " 3. That it is much better for workmen to be idle, without a sufficient quantity of provisions, than to be toiling their bones and marrow, by working without the common necessaries of life. " 4. That it being almost impossible for the iron masters to make any advance of wages at the present low price of iron, it was therefore agreed that an humble address be sent to her Majesty, praying her to recal Parliament immediately, ,to do more for the people than they did the last six months." Orders were given to preserve the peace, and that an adjourned meeting be held at five o'clock on Thursday morning, at the Market-square. The meeting then separated quietly, at a little to eight o'clock. Thursday Morning, Six o'Clock.—The adjourned meeting is just commenced. Mr. Jones, shoemaker, was called to the chair. Miles and others spoke of the distress of workmen, and it was agTeed that a deputation should wait on the ironmasters. DIRECTORS. JAMES STUART, Esq., Chairman. H. DE CASTRO, Esq., Deputy Chairman.

Morgan, and Mr. Cook (pp. 339 to 355) may be compendiously stated as follows :—Solari brought them from time to time instruments purporting to be Exchequer bills (but, in fact, received from Smith) ; and on the deposit of these in their own names, as the apparent borrowers (according to the usual custom of stockbrokers employed to procure loans), they ob tained large sums of money, out of which, as from time to time directed by Solari, they purchased for him foreign bonds or share 3, or paid losses incurred by him in the stock market. They also from time to time, paid over to him large sums of money, and paid off the principal and interest which became due on the loans ; and received from him, on the other hand, large sums of money, and sold foreign bonds for him, and credited the same in his account. For these services they charged the usual commission or brokerage, so far as the stock transactions were concerned, and were en titled by agreement, as Mr. W. Morgan asserts, to Ihave also received a commission on the loans ; but Age. Annual Prem. Age. Annual Premi Age.

The dealings lasted until the death of Solari, which took plane in October, 1840, after which Rapallo himself (who had previously done business with Messrs. W. and J. Morgan for some time as Solari's deputy during his illness) was introduced to them by his widow and executrix as her friend, whom she wished to continue the transactions carried on by her husband ,• and between Rapallo, as, ber agent, and Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, the same course of deal ing was from that time accordingly pursued that has been already described in relation to Solari, and it terminated only on the public discovery of the fraud, which took place, as hereafter mor e particularly stated, in October 1841. During the whole of these transactions with Solari and Rapallo, Messrs. W. and J. Morgan profess themselves to have had no know ledge whatever (beyond the slight introduction of Solari above noticed) of the mode of life, property, or connections, of either of these parties, and to have , received no specific account from them of the person or persons for whom they were acting ; though it is stated by Mr. W. Morgan that he was told at the outset by Solari that " he had a friend who was a large capitalist, and who would lend him money." They also admit that they were never em. ployed either by Solari or Rapallo to buy or to sell an Exchequer bill ; and allege that they themselves believed the whole of the bills on which the loans were obtained to belong to the rich friend of whom Solari had spoken, but of whose name they were never informed. This latter statement, of course, implies that they also believed the confidence reposed in Solari by his rich friend to have been t rans f erre d, upon his death, to his widow ; for they pro f ess t o have considered Rapallo a s having always acted in the capacity of her agent only. Messrs. W. and J. Morgatil however, were not the Rapallo only parties with whom Sola ri and Rapallocarried on this kind of connexion. Th e y had a similar account with Mr. Wm. Mariner, who held a t the time the situation of secretaryto the National Brazilian Mining Company ; and who had don e business at a former period on the Stock Exchange. Mr. Mariner states, having some acquaintance, as ho with Solari (though without knowledge of his pursuits, except that he had speculations in the funds), applied to him, as he alleges, for part of his brokerage busi ness, and was accordingly employed I,y -him from April, 1838, to obtain loans on th e deposit Of Ex chequer bills ; and Mr. Mariner accordingly entered into arrangements on the subject with Mr. P. T. De Berckem, a stockbroker and member of the Stock Exchange, by whose intervention (as agent nominally for Mr. Mariner, but with kn owled ge that the latter was employed by Solari and R a p all o) all the loans were procured, Mr. Mariner and Mr. De Berckem dividing the remuneration (which was a t t h e regu l ar and customary rate of half per cent, per annum) between them. Through this channel, in addition to that of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, Solari, a n d (after him) Rapallo, succeeded in depositing from time to time, with different parties, large masses of the bills received from Smith ; and conducted at the s ame time through the same m edium, extensive speculations by way of purchase an d otherwise, in the stock and share market. The nature of these dealings will be fully collected from theaccolints, pp. 356 t o 358 , an d 417 to 426, and Mayo's evidence, pp. 325 t o 329 ; but they are so simila r to those which have been already described in the case of Messrs. William and James FOR EXAMPLE.

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times:"— " Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fr actured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next mornin I ae down stairs without my crutches, and was able to w alk , t h e swelling of the limb soon subsided, and lam now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I ern, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held upon my case, the surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. II." This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious in any of the above afflictions) may be obtainett of, or through any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street , Strand ; or from the Proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The funds did not leave off quite so well as they were in the afternoon, although the accounts by several deliveries of the post were quite as good as these in the morning. It has been ascertained that all the military, in the neighbourhood of London, were under arms, shortly after twelve last evening, and that orders have been issued to keep themselves prepared for any summons this night also. These facts, Coupled with the regulations of the City autho rities,‘ and the presence of the Lord Mayor, who has come expressly from Scotland to resume his proper authority, has given greater confidence to the citizens, all of whom are upon their alert, in consequence of it ' being understood that another meeting is about to take place to-night, which has already been ushered in by a tumultuous procession of boys, intermixed with some of the other sex about their own ages, throughout the principal streets. One of the great objects to be attained by these assemblages is the possession of the Bank of England. And it is a fact, but little known among the surrounding inhabitants, that a stronger castle does not exist. it is so built that the roof affords a complete platform, which is largely supplied with cannon, that embrasures are ready to be formed at,a moment's notice, and that a guard, with a sufficient number of experienced men, are always at hand to repel any attack. It is to be hoped that no such extremity may occur, inasmuch as from the difficulty of approach, and from the nature of the defences, any hostile party must necessarily expe rience great loss, without deriving any adequate benefit. Were every book in the Bank of England to be destroyed at the present moment, the national debt, or the interest of the holders therein would not in the slightest degree be lessened, because precautions have for years been taken against the possibility of such an . event.

THE CORK VITRIOL TuuowEits.—This morning Timothy Herlehy, Daniel Sullivan, John Drew, and Daniel Lonergan, the four nen sentenced to transporta tion for life at the late assizes for throwing vitriol at Mr. Wilson, were removed from the city jail, on board the Eagle steamer, lying at Merchant's quay, for conveyance to the convict depot, Dublin. 'They were escorted by a strong detachment of the 10th Hussars, and a numerous police force, the entire under the direction of Captain White, Justice of the Pose a. The crowd assembled was immense, but there was not the least disposition to riot, and when the vessel left the quay at eleven, the multiv tad. quietly dispersed.—Cork Reporter of Tuesday. • KEXMORE.—The news of the expected Royal visit to Taymouth Castle, which transpired on Saturday last, has caused a great sensation. It brought back the Noble Marquis from the hills, just when commencing the season. The preparations for the occasion are chiefly confined to out-door exhibitions, for which purpose some hundreds of the tenantry and followers are to be equipped in the clan:tartan, and disciplined so as to re present the following of an ancient chief. Their services, however, will be chiefly required for the grand stag hunt, which it is understood will take place at the Black Mount, and will be shared in by Prince Albert. Her Majesty, it is understood, will spend most of the two days appropriated to the visit, in enjoying the unequalled walks and scenery around the Castle ; including a boat ing excursion on Loch Tay. The battery, on the hill facing the Castle, is undergoing revision, and will wel come her Gracious Majesty and Consort with a volley, which will startle the deer on the Black Mount. This is a long promised visit, it is said, on the part of her Ma jesty, the description given by her Royal Uncle, King Leopold, of the gratification he received at Taymouth many years ago, having increased the desire to witness its unequalled scenery. The Royal party will arrive on Tuesday afternoon by the Bishopric-road ; and leave by the Criefl and Taybridge-road for Drummond Castle, on the Thursday following.—Perthshire Courier. PLAGUES OF POPULARITY.—A popular man is a butt for all the world to shoot at. He is uni versally applied to in all manner of distresses, by those who do know him and those who do not. There is not a " widow with seven small children," a respectable tradesman "overwhelmed by a concentration of untoward events," a clergyman whose " expenses have exceeded his income," or an elderly maiden escaped in her chemise from the " late calamitous fire," 'who does not make him acquainted with their respective misfortunes, and look to him for relief. The Duke of Wellington, we dare be sworn, has received more letters from the widows of the officers slain at Waterloo, than ever fell in all his cam paignal there is not a successful actor on the stage who could not furnish his quota of correspondence with self dubbed Thespians, dated from half the gaols in England. But if your popularity be literary, there is positively no end of the persecution. Every day brings its epio or its drama, its vowel in three volumes, or its voyages in two, with a modest request to wade through the ill-written MS.. criticise, amend with a preface. and recommend to a publisher, or to friends for subscription. CatErr.—The intelligence of the Royal visit to Drummond Castle, has caused a great sensation in this district, as, independent of the feelings of loyalty which will be gratified by a passing glimpse of our young Queen, the preparations for the suitable reception of the Royal party are likely to benefit in various ways this locality. In the first place, the Noble Lord and Lady Willoughby have ordered two hundred of the finest looking young men on their estates, to be equipped in the clan tartan, at their expense, with full accoutrements. These aro intended to exhibit a specimen of a highland Chieftain's following ; and as it is said there is not to be any gathering of the clans at Edinburgh, as on the oc casion of the visit of Geo. IV., this is likely to he the first, if not only, opportunity for her Majesty seeing a body of the Gael in their native dress, among their native mountains. There are reports that while here there wit be n grand deer hunt in the forest on the south of Lochl Earn, at which Prince Albert, if not her Majesty in person, will be present. Singular, if Ben Voirlich should in reality echo with the horn of a Royal party, such as "Lady of only imagined in his celebr ated scene in the of the Lake I"—Perthshire Courier. BERLIN, AUG. 9.—Merchants' letters from Copen hagen, say that it was intended to conclude the new con vention respecting the Sound duty with the Governments of Russia, England , and Austria, but such obstacles were ' caused by the d emands of some parties, principally Russia, that unless matters should take a more favourable t u rn, the convention will probably be concluded between Denmark and Prussia separately, which will be difficult enough. f MELANCHOLY DEATH. We regret to announce the untimely death of John Dallas Edge, Esq., barrister-at-law, under the follow ing most painful circumstances :—The deceased gen tleman, who resided in Molesworth-street, had arrived in town at five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, from Castlecomer, county Kilkenny, the residence of his father, and where he had been leaving his lady and two children. At half-past seven o'clock the same evening he, with his brother-in-law, William Maun sel, Esq., Jun., Grand Canal Harbour, and a young gentleman, named M‘Mullen, were taking a walk by the Canal side, when they met Mr. Thomas Hamil ton, of James-street, who owned a small boat then lying in a pond, situate close to the canal, near the South Dublin Workhouse, mid which served to supply water to Mount Browne mills. They agreed to have some rowing in the boat, but the latter lying far in the water they sought to get it to the land by means of a line having a hook attached to it. In throwing this Mr. Hamilton happened to let the line slip from his hand into the water. To recover it Mr. Maunsel stripped, swam in, and having attached the hook to the boat, he was returning with the line when his feet became entangled in some weeds ; he was in danger of being drowned, and called to his companions for assistance. Mr. Edge, divesting himself of his coat only, plunged into the pond, reached Mr. Maunsel, and having pushed him towards the boat, so as to extricate hint from his perilous situation, they both took hold of the vessel on the same side. This caused it to immediately upset, and deceased letting go his hold, was swimming for the bank, when his feet were caught in the same tuft of weeds from which he had a moment previously rescued his friend, and before aid could reach him, he sunk in about twelve or four teen feet of water, never more to rise in this life. Mr. M'Mullen had, on perceiving his danger, 'thrown himself into the water, and endeavoured, but inef fectively, to reach an oar over to him. Mr. Maunsel had, in the mean time, held on by the keel of the ves sel, and by that means sustained himself till some per sons coming by succeeded in getting him to land. Drags having been as soon as possible procured, Mr. Edge's body was recovered in about three quarters of an hour. Dr. Madden, of James's-street, with several medical gentlemen from Stevens's hospital, were quickly in attendance, and every effort of skill was tried to restore animation, but in vain. The remains were removed to the house of Mr. Maunsel, where an inquest was held before Sir Nicholas W. Brady, and a verdict of Accidental Death by Drowning was returned. The deceased was in the 34th year of his age. He was Honorary Secretary to the Conservative Society in Dawson-street, and filled the office of Seneschal of Castlecomer.—Freeman's Journal. EAST IND/A STEAM NAVI GATION. The steamer India having performed her last voy age from Suez to Bombay against the height of the monsoon, a circumstance unprecedented in the annals o f navigation, it may be interesting to compare a statement of that steamer's performance on her last two voyages, the first having been made in the fair season, and the second against the strength of the monsoon. On her first voyage the India left Calcutta on the 10th of January last, and steamed t? Suez in 25 days and 14 hours, run nin g 4,849 miles or 182 i miles per day, consuming 680 tons of coal, or 7 6-10 lb. per horse power per hour. On her second voyage she left Calcutta, 9th May, and steamed in 34 dttys 4,658 miles against the wind, averaging 137 miles per day, and under sail four days, total distance 5,089 miles, consuming 900 tons of coals, or 711 b. per horse power per hour. This result is most important, as showing that the communication by steam can be kept up with the eastern side of India at all seasons of the year. On the first voyage the Calcutta letters reached London in 464 days in days 2; the secondiypt waiting voyage a conveyance. her lettersN were re de tained BELFAST ELECTION. THIRD DAY'S POLL—AuGusT 17.

BEYROUT, JULY 13.—8 y the Austrian steam packet, accounts were received of the conference at Balta Liman, between the Reis Effendi and the Mi nisters of the Five Powers, on the subject of Leba non, at which were produced the attestations in fa vour of a Moslem Governor, of which we have al ready given the history, and at which conference were repeated the old arguments about the right of the Porte being incontestable, and the tranquillity of the Mountain being perfect. By the same packet the Maronite Patriarch re ceived a letter from Elias Horra, wha, along with Halil Effendi, went to Constantinople, to expose the system of intimidation resorted to by the Turks, the substance of his communication being, that some time after the conference of Balta Liman, the Reis Effendi sent for him, and having rece i ve d him with marked politeness, informed him that Selim Bev had received new instructions to proceed to Mount - Lebanon, and to go from village to village in order to get the real sense of the people with reference to a Mos lem Governor, or one from the House of Shebah, and that the suffrages were to be given with perfect free dom, and without fear of rendering themselves obnox ious on account of such expression of opinion. In company with Ali Bey, and the redoubtable Ilbraw-el-Orrin, he first proceeded to Shooyafat, the residence of Emir Ameen Reslau, who is all powerful here. Selim Bey produced, in the presence of the Emir Ameen Reslau and his adherents, a petition in Turkish, in favour of Omar Paella, and asked for the signatures of the people, and they signed the Turkish petition. Selim Bey then proceeded into Shouf, but the particulars of his pro gress have not yet arrived. • As a large proportion of the expelled Christians have taken refuge in Damascus, and as Selim Bey has no intention of going thither, they have transmited to him a petition, of which I enclose a translation : " ADDRESS OF THB CHRISTIANS OF LEBANON, WHO HAVE TAKEN REFUGE IN THE PACHALIC OP DA MASCUS.

" We crave the liberty of bringing to your Excel lency's notice the immense wrongs done to us by the Druses, in the burning of our homes, the killing of our sons, and the plunder of our property. Inasmuch as the Sublime Government has taken compassion on us, its slaves, and has given orders to your Excellency to go from town to town to take the sense of the popu lation as to the choice of a Governor, and at the same time permitted the people with all liberty of conscience to give its voice, we are emboldened to present this petition, and request from the Sultan, that in the ple nitude of his mildness, he would give us as Governor either the Emir Beshir or the Emir Ameen. We are impelled to make this request, not only in consequence of the permission granted by the Government to speak with all freedom, but also of our own misfortunes, we being now wanderers from our homes for upwards of nine months, there being no security in Lebanon, be cause the Druses continue their oppression. " We make this request because the said Emir is full of knowledge and experience in the affairs of the Mountain, and because his presence alone is sufficient to afford a refuge to the oppressed and to inspire your Rajahs with such confidence as may enable them to return to their homes and apply themselves to their mercantile and agricultural pursuits. But, until this restoration take place, there can be no security, nor day e any wanderer return to his home, for up to the present hour the Christians have no repose. The Emir 13c whir has governed the Mountain for 65 years, dur ing which period the blood and possessions of the Rajahs were in security, and no scenes ever passed during his rule similar to those which have passed in his absence. We thus state the truth, and beg that the Sublime Porte in its mercy may give us repose by the investiture of the Emir Beshir, or his son, the Emir Ameen, In accordance with the usage of the Mountain, otherwise we have no hope for our property or blood—' And let the commands of him who com mandeth be obeyed." By accounts from Aleppo Assad Paoha had sus pended the exequatur of the European Consular agents at Antioch. The plague has broken out at Rusheia. Much discontent exists at Tripoli, in consequence of the ferdeh or Egyptian capitation tax. Tim Mooas.—On Friday, the 12th—the first open day for grouse shooting—the weather set in rather wet and wild. The scent, in consequence, lay indifferently, and there was a haziness in the air that rendered it ex ceedingly difficult to descry objects at any distance, so minute as the gorse cock at rest in the wild. A party of four that started from Moffat for the Lord of Annan dale's preserved grounds at Kinnel-head, only bagged among them twenty brace ; but if that be considered bad luck, it arose more from the state of the elements than the scarcity of birds. Alonc , Kinnel-water game is so plentiful that, to use the words of a Moffat man, " the breeders are gawn like clocking hens." Much, however, depends on situation ; and we are enabled to state, on the authority of a ducal gamekeeper, that wherever the land is particularly high, many pouts perished froth want of water. Lower down the birds are described as abundant, remarkably well grown, and, in the estimation of tyros, inconveniently strong and wild on the wing. On Saturday the weather was more favourable, and wo are aware of one young gentleman, who killed, in a brief space, nine and a half brace of birds, ou Mr. Ba bington's shooting farm, in the parish of Torthorwald. Around Minnyhiva the sport was fair on the 12th, con siderably better on the 13th, and is expected to be splendid this day. Even thus early, we have private accounts from Perthshire, where Mr. Fox Maule bagged, on the 12th current, seventy brace, and some of his companions fifty brace each. Tha Highlands, however, alias the land of the mountain and flood, is, par ez:el lence, the country for game ; and we believe instances might easily be cited in which the winged pay a big! icr rent than the woolly people.—Dumfries Courier. COARINGIIAM.—Letters with very odd directi OTIS often pass through the post-office, but these peculiari ties are most generally caused by the ignorance of the sent' lers. One case, however, which lately fell under notice, was somewhat peculiar to the present day, though it tr ight not have been so noticeable at the period of the (;an quest, if letters had been then common.—" To David with the Red Beard, Nottingham." how David was to be distinguished from others having a similar charricter by the post-office, surpasses our comprehension.-1 )on caster Gazette. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—Hand - bills were pc eted yesterday at the different polite stations of the m etro pohs, offering a reward of 2001. for the apprehensi, m of Joseph Burton, Vestry Clerk of the parish of ' St, Luke's, Old-street, who stands charged with ha %ring forged cheques to a considerable amount, with intent to defraud the parish. The accused has been missing adios tho sth inst., and from the handbill it would appear that his wife and children are the companions of his flight. 7/, 4 \ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOW-S77REE7. MORE PERSECUTION.---Mrs. Elizabeth Chapman, Somers-town, appeared to answer a summons pre ferred against her for exhibiting an inflammatory placard. Police sergeant S 15, proved the charge. The defendant, however, alleging her utter igno rance of the mischievous tendency of the placard, was discharged. Mr. R. Chulow, butcher, of Somers-town, pleaded guilty to the same charge, and passed his word not to publish, or cause to be published, inflammatory pla cards in future.—lle was discharged. Mr. Cubitt, turner, of Brunswick-street, St. Pan cras, was similarly charged. Police constable John Park, 5 E, proved the case, and added that.the defendant told him that he meant to attend the meetings advertised in the placards. The defendant said, if the bills were illegal, he should think the policeman ought to have told him so and have given him the opportunity of taking it down, instead of summoning him here.ile should be obliged if the Magistrate would tell him under what Act the bills were made illegal ? It could not be under the late Police Act. Mr. Twrroun said it was not under the Police Act. This was an offence against the peace. Defendant said, till he saw the reports in The Sun newspaper, he had no idea that the bills could be called illegal; he was not aware of it at the time he put them up. If the bills were illegal, 1444.0u1d think the meetings were illegal also. Mr. Twyronn—So they.are. 4 Defendant—And yet the. meetings were held, and resolutions were pifssed, and everything went off quietly: Mr. Twyrertp—l shall bind you over in your own recognizances in the sum of 301., to answer the charge at the next Quarter Sessions, and to keep the peace till that time. The required recognizances were then entered into. Within a few days two cases have been investi gated by the sitting 'Magistrates at this Court, WhiMr . , for some reason or other, have bee n con ducted wl4: the greatest possible secresy, the proceedings havii, taken place in the Magistrates' private room, in the absence of every person except those immediately con cerned. Of the two cases the following brief particulars we have every reason to believe to be correct : The first case, in which the Marquis of Conyngham was the complainant, and a pawnbroker (whose name we could not ascertain) residing in Oxford-street, was the defendant, was heard on the 10th ult. The defendant was called upon to show cause how he became possessed of, and why he detained,' a casket ofjewels of the estimated value of 2,0001., the property of his Lordship. The affair was first brought under the notice of the Magistrate about a week previous, and on each occa sion Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Petersdorff attended as counsel for the respective parties. From the statement of the Noble Marquis, it ap peared that the property in question consisted of a diamond star of the value of 1,0001., a necklace worth 600/., a pair Id earrings 3001., and other articles of minor value; they were all safe at his residenee at Richmond t. short time before they were missed, and informatior, was subsequently received that they were in the possession of the defendant. • Tbe defendant at once admitted that the Articles in question, were in his possession, and that he received them in the regular course of his business, and had advanced, upon them a fair and reasonable sum. He at the same time stated that he could identify the person who pledged the property with him, and ex pressed his willingness to do so whenever called upon. Under such circumstances the Magistrate did not consider himself called upon to make any order respecting- the restoration of the property, and the Learned Counsel having expressed themselves satisfied with the explanation given, the affair terminated. The parties then retired by the Magistrates' pri vate entrance. The second case alluded to was heard on Thursday last, a , s,d was a charge of assault preferred by a grocer, residing in Drury-lane, against a young female of the name of Jane Priest. Mr. Bodkin attended on behalf of Ale complainant. The defendant had been in the service of the com plaimard, and a particular intimacy it appeared had existed between them for some time, which at length ended im the defendant becoming a mother, and she was consequently removed from the house. Shortly after, the complainant took unto himself a wife, which of course had the effect of stopping the visits of the defendaat to her late master's ; at length having be come vite destitute, she entered the shop with her child in ber arms, in the hope that some relief would be afforded her, when high words were used, and the compla'inant, attempting to eject her from the shop, in orde r to prevent his customers taking notice of the circumstance, she lifted herhand, and slapped his face. The, defendant admitted having struck the corn plainrcnt, and alleged that he owed iher a considerable sum for wages, which she could not obtain, neither could she get any thing from him for the support of her child. Mr. Twrroan considering that the assault had been proved, ordered the defendant to find bail to answer any charge which might be preferred against her at the sessions, and to keep the peace towards the 'complainant in the interim. 9 I ' NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WooLwzcH, AUG. 19.—1 t has been resolved to commemorate the birth-day of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on Friday next, the 26th instant, by laying the keel of the Royal Albert, first-rate ship of war, of 120 guns. This tile vessel will be built from a plan submitted to the Lords of the Admiraltt, by Mr. Oliver Lang, master shipwright of the Woolwich Dockyard, and the ceremony of laying the keel will take place in the slip from which the Trafalgar, of 120 guns, was launched last year. The Black Eagle, steam-vessel, Master J. B. Cook (acting), left 'Woolwich on Tuesday for Chatham, and returned yesterday evening with the Lords of the ' Admiralty, who had been on a visit to that port. The Falmouth arrived on Tuesday for Portsmouth. 1 The Hydra steam-vessel, Commander A. Murray, will be paid off at Woolwich to-morrow. The Avon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Henry Byng, is expected to sail from Wool w i c h on Tuesday or Wednesday next, for Portsmouth and the , West Indies. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in consideration of the hard labour experienced by rope makers in her Majesty's employment for the use of the navy, &c., have ordered that in future their superan nuation pensions should be from 201. to 241. per annum, according to their services. This will prove an ac ceptable boon to many hard-working industrious men when unfit for further service. CONDUCT OP THE PEOPLE IN THE MANUFACTUU ING DISTEICTS.—The mobs of the cotton manufactur ing districts are a much better behaved class than all other• sorts of mobs. They are also, perhaps, better dealt with by the authorities, and the two conditions to gether render them less terrible in their proceedings than is usual with rioters. As a proof of this, I may refer you to what I believe to be the fact, that notwith standing the vast extent of the turn-out, and the great numbers that have engaged in it, far exceeding in this respect anything I have ever seen in my experience, which has not been trifling, of such movements, the ac tual injury done to property in this town and the vici nity, up to the present time, will not exceed 5001. Else where a few hours of commotion destroys thousands. We have now been at it nine or ten days, and the de struction is confined almost to broken windows. I think there is so general an organisation for security of the higher and middle classes, that nothing very b a d will happen. I hope and believe that the Magis trates are influenced by such a spirit of forbearance to wards the people, that they will not be urged to any un necessat y severity to suppress the excitement. Steadi ness, activity, and patience, I think, will restore tran quillity in a few days, without recourse to violent means. The movement, however, is characterised by features that should produce serious reflections on the social state of the great masses of the comrnnnity. It is clear that the labouring classes, of every trade, are now united under a system of organisation, which enables them to act for a common object with more promptness, and to a greater extent, than has ever been thought pra. ticabie. The power this gives theta is sure to increase—there is no preventing the increase ; it is certain, in the end, to acquire a magnitude that will affect the existing institu tions of society. Whether the influence will be for good or for evil, will depend on the intelligence and virtue ' with which it may be directed. Attention to the cha racter of the masses has been too much neglocsed. This outbreak, I trust, will show the Government the danger of delaying their education.—Letter in the Chronicle. THE Moons.—The Twelfth open& on to hills with one of those bright and balmy mornings, which have so peculiarly characterised this autumn. The un clouded sun, and the high temperature, cooled the ardour of many ; and, unlike most previous occasions, a f ew hours' morning shooting satisfied most sportsmen, unless upon so►uc highly preserved and well stocked grounds. The general success has, we are happy to Stly, been better than appearances some weeks ago indicated ; in proX of which we may mention that yesterday morning 95 boxes passed through Perth for the south, 35 of w hi c h were for the London steamer. Among the crack guns, the highest return for the first day we have heard Nkas that of the Hon. Fox Maule, who bagged 84 brace it Kinloch, at the head of Strathbraan. Sir P. M. Iffiripeland, at lialnaguard, killed 61 brace of grouse, will 5 mountain hares; Mr. Butter, of Faskally, 55 brace, and Sir John Mackenzie, 50, in the moors of Glentruim. The results from the Inverness-shire side are not so good ; individual parties at Dalwhinnie only bagged each from 15 to 30 brace, which has been about he daily average since.—Perthshite Courier. Efforts are as indispensable as desires. The globe is not to be circumnavigated by one wind. We should never do nothing. "It is better to wear out than to rust out,'! says Bishop Cumberland. " There will be time enough for repose in the grave," said Nicole to Pascal. In truth, the proper rest for man is change of occupation. ,gy;~. • 4•• se tO I .e. :6 0 4 2 4 50 0 .... 0 —.L... s d• ..!. 0 ow..
