MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.. CITY, Two o'CLool The Liverpool Cotton Market, :yesterday, closed heavily, and prices of all descripti ons were a shade easier than on Friday. The sale t were estimated at 6,000 bales for export and 500 on speculation, comprising, in addition to Americ an, 200 Pernam and Maranham, at WI. to Bd. ; 120 Bahia, 6 5-16 d. to 61d. ; 300 Egyptian, 6?- 2 d. to 9t LI. ; and 10,000 Surat, , qd. to sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet, but prizes we re rather better than on Tuesday. Letters from Spain state that the question of 5 8 0 . free trade in articles of food continues to engage 50 the attention of the new Governraient. A minis- VI terial circular announces that, in addition to the 10 admission of flour, wheat, oats, ttc., into Spain 10 free of duty, maize, barley, rye, and other vege table alimentary substances, not previously eau- st. merated, will also be included in Ile tariff. It is .( t ) announced also in the public journals that a move- 6t: ment is being made calling upon all the upper 2 6 classes, and those who have stores a f grain, to open !t the same, and sell their wheat in the markets pub- st. licly throughout the peninsula at a how rate for the LO benefit of the poorer classes. 10 Advices from St. Petersburg, of the 12th inst., 60 state that when the accounts were, received there, st of prospects of a fine harvest in England and 10 Germany, a fall immediately took place in the 3 8 : prices of all kinds of grain. In the market at s Antwerp, Russian grain is quot(3d as follows : Cubanca, middling quality for exportation, 14 3 florins per 80 kilos., and rye,, from Archangel, 9i florins per 62 kilos. The demand for money out of doors has rather increased, but it has not produced any variation I, in the rates of discount, which. are s till ra th er be low the Bank of England minimum, At the Stock Exchange the supply of capital is large, and ad vances are obtainable on very moderate terms. The uncertain state of the weather has increased the dullness of the Stock Market, but the quota tions have not fluctuated, as there is almost an entire absence of speculation. Consols have been 95 to 95i for money, and 951 g for account. The New 3 per Cents. are 951 to 96, and the Reduced 95i 4. Bank Stock is supported at 2171 to 2181. Exchequer Bills, owing to the improv ing tendency of the Money Market, are firm, being lls. to 14s, prem. The Bonds have been dealt in at 1001, and India Bonds a•ce 15 prem. For Foreign Securities '.he market is inactive, and the quotations remain without variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1031. Spanish De ferred, 24g. Russian 4i- per Cents., about 98 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. also 98. Venezuela have improved, the 4} per Cents, being 32 , and the Deferred 13i 14. Peruvian 41 per Cents. are marked 82k. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1856.

ALLEGED FRAUD BY A TRA•DEALER.—On Monday, a 20 party giving his name as Hugh Craig was remitted to the sheriff, from the Clyde Police-office, for examine. 100 tion as to having on Saturday, 2d August, within the shipping-box of Mr. Lan g land s an d S ons, s i tuated in 10 Liverpool Shed, North quay, by means o f falsehood , 20 5 fraud, or forgery, obtained possession of fifty-eight 20 half-chests of tea. It appears that the steamer Lyra, 10 plyin g between Glasgow and Liverpool, arrived in the 20 harbour on Friday, let August, having on board, 20 as part of her cargo, fifty.eight chests of tea 20 in bond, consigned by Mr. Hngh Brown, Glasgow, and 20 addressed to the Collector and Comptroller of Customs there. The same evening, a respectably-dressed person r ,w B ,i , Called and a sk e d f or th e t ea , w h en , on b e i ng informed that h e cou ld no t get i t on account o f the shipping clerk 2"g bei ng away, he sa i d he would wait till next morning. 6 Accordingly next morning the gentleman again called, 20 accompanied this time by a carter whom he had engaged to convey away the chests. When about finished loading, he Was told by the porter that before removing the tea he Would reqt.ire to pay freight and charges, and, apps- 25 rently for that purpose, he entered the box, and in a IA short time came out saying all was right. It seems the 40 shipping clerk was busy at the time, and the party, on 50 *atering, and finding the receipt-book lying on a table, 25 put down his signature—" C. Reid," and lett. On mak- 20 log up the freight-notes, no such person as Hugh Brown o)uld be found either in the directory or by inquiries im 'uu otherwise. No trace could b e found of the tea at the Fo Custom-house, or at any of th e b onded stores in the 2'o city ; and the clerk, suppo ing that it had been fraudu- 20 lently taken away, gave information of the circumstances at the Clyde Police-office on Thursday last. Detective 20 officer M`Lachlan instantly set about an investigation, 60 and having learned who the carter was whom the party 100 bad engaged, cal.ed on him, and desired him to show : 5 0 where the tea had been deposited. The carter took 100 AVLachiau to a lane leading off Ann-street, any pointed n out a store underneath the old Independent Church, `1 ) , Which he said was the place. Having ascertained that s ' o ' the store was occupied by a party named Craig, in Os- :40 Wald-street, M'Lachlan waited on him the next (Friday) 25 Morning, but he denied all knowledge of the tea, stating that he had let the store to a merchant from New York, 20 named Hugh Brown. On Saturday, authority having LOU been obtained t o enter t h e store, the door was forced 10 open, when 30 of th e c h ests were found entire, an d the 100 sonterits of the other 28 nearly all taken away. The 25 property was taken possession of by the Customs' autbo- 25 tities. We understand that in the course of the exami nation on Monday, the prisoner admitted himself as 50 being the identical Hu g h Brown.—Nera British Mail. I 100 5 St. Qt. 241 i St. 50 4t.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Biron Martin.) UTTERING A FORGED NOTE. MARLI:OROUGH-STREET. AN EXPENSIVE FREAK.—Henry Driscoll Wag charged before Hr. Brigham with breaking a square of plate gia, , s, value 2/. 3s , the props: ::y of Mr. G. F. Bryer, pro prietor of the Black Horse Tavern, (hendou-street. Sunners, 35, upholsterer, wa3 charged with feloniously uttering a forged Bank of Eng!and note f 51., well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud. William Bacon stated that about 8 o'clock on the pre vious evening he had occasion to call upon the prose cutor on bminess, when he saw the defendant and two other men quarrelling and fighting in front of the bar. Witness, seeing that some serious mischief would occur if the men were not put out, went and fetched Mr. Bryer, who was up stairs at the time ; and as soon as he came down the prisoner and his companions were ejected from the premises. Directly the defendant got into the street he swore he would smash all the windows, and this threat he in some measure carried into effect by de liberately breaking a large square of plate glass in the shop front. The prisoner was proceeding to inflict fur titer mischief, when he was given into custody. The prisoner in defence said he was in liquor at the time and rather freakish, but he was not aware of the mischief he had done. Mr. Huddlestone and Mr. DaiLy prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended. It appeared that on Tuesday, 8;11 July, the prisoner with three men went to the Sovereign public-house, in Upper St. Martin's-lane, and had some soda water and brandy. After that he put down a note to pay for it, when the waitress attempted to take it up. He desired her not to do so, but to get some more so la water and brandy, and a pen and ink that he might write his name on the note. She gave him a pen and ink and went to the bar, but the barmaid would not let her have the soda water and brandy. Oa her return to the room the prisoner gave her the note with the name of ".;amen Johns," which he said was his name, freshly written on it. She gave the note to the barmai 1. Doubts being enter tained about its genuineness, the prisoner was detained by various excuses, whilst the note was examined. Itwas found 3 to be a forged note, and Mr. Alcock, the landlord, went to the prisoner in the parlour and asked him where he got it. He made various statements respecting the note—first that he took it of a horse-dealer at the Green Man, Edgeware-road, and on a policeman coming to the house, he said the landlord had substituted a bad note for the good one he gave the girl, and then that he had the note from one of the men who was drink ing with him. When in custody he gave a false account of the person for whom he had been working. The Inspector of notes at the Bank of England proved • the note was a forgery. The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses with much ability, and in his defence urged that he gave John Smith, a horse dealer, one of the men with whom be went to the prosecutor's house to drink, five sovereigns for the note. This was denied by Smith. who said the prisoner was a stranger to him and the two other men. They were standing at the gateway of Aldridge's Repo sitory, when the prisoner came up ands invited them to have something to drink. At the Sovereign public house Smith saw the prisoner with a pen and ink in his hand, and that he asked for change of a note. His Lordship, in summing up, said it was not neces sary in a case of uttering a forged note with intent to de fraud that anything should be got in exchaiiga for it. He complained at not being furnished with the whole of the depositions taken in this case before the ma gistrates. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentence deferred. EXTORTINS MONET, &O,—Janies Williamson, 21, labourer, was indicted for feloniously accusing Robert Dye of an infamous crime, &c., with a view of extorting money from him. Mr. Logie prosecuted. The prisoner was undefended. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, who resides at No. 2, Zion College Gardens, London- Wall, and is a clerk at one of the City churches, and is a man of weak temperament and of a nervous disposition, was returning to his home on Saturday night, the 12th July. On his way home, about half-past 10 o'clock, he had occasion to go into an urinal in Foster-lane, Cheap side, and on leaving the prisoner kicked against his font and addressed him, saying, " Where are you going ?" Prosecutor replied, " Home, of course," and walked on, prisoner following him. He said—" I'm a poor youth ;" and prosecutor replied,---" I'm sorry for it, but I cannot help you." He said, "I'm starving, and want money, and money I'll have." Prosecutor said, " You'll have none from me." Pri• soner said, " If you don't give me money I'll bring a charge against you ;" and he added that he knew of a Mr. Bingham—You must raise 2/. 34. as soon as you can, for till that is done ycu will be imprisoned for a month. Committed accordingly. SOUTHWARK. DARING WATCH ROBBERY.—George Jones, a young fellow well known to the police as lurking about the dif ferent railway stations in the metropolis, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing a valuable watch and chain from the parson of John Edwards, a master tailor, under the following daring circumstances : The prosecutor stated that on the previous morning he had business to transact at Guildford, but when he got to the railway station he found that the train had just gone. Ile accordingly went into the "Lord Hill" public-house opposite the station, in the 'Waterloo -road, to partake of refreshments and wait far the train, where he saw twnLife Guardsmen at the bar, with whom he con• versed for a short time, and after wards entered the tap room with them. The prisoner was there, and sat alongside of him. Witness paid for some beer, which they all drank. A minute or two afterwards the pr . - Boner took hold of the pot and banded it to him, and almost immediately after that he suddenly lost his senses. While ho was partially recovering witness saw the prisoner take his watch from his pocket with one hand and his chain from his neck with the other, and as he was about to go away he caught hold of him by the collar to prevent him making his escape. They struggled very hard for some time, and he believed that the potman was endeavouring all he could to rescue the prisoner, but witness was too strong for them. He kept hold of him and said, " You vagabond you have stolen my watch and chain." The prisoner replied, "No, I have not, look in your pockets and you will find it." The potman at the same time pointed to his coat pocket. Witness still held the prisoner with one hand, whit with the other he felt his coat pocket, and found his watch and chain there. He did not hesitate to say that the potman assisted in the robbery. The prisoner struggled bard to get away, but a constable came into the house and took him into custody. Mr. Combe asked the prosecutor whether he was sober at the time ? He replied that he was, as he had not drank anything before he entered the Lord Hill public house. Witness distinctly saw the watch and chain in the prisoner's hand as be was passing it to another man. Police constable 172 L said he was called into the Lord Hill public-house about ten o'clock on the previous morning, when he saw the prosecutor struggling with the prisoner, whom he gave into his custody for stealing his watch and chain. Police constable 70 L said he knew the prisoner as an associate with thieves, always lurking about the Lord Hill public-house and the railway terminus, looking out for drunken soldiers and country people. The prisoner, who did Rot deny the robbery, was re• manded for further inquiries. late case in whish a policeman and another man, by sticking to a man, had succeeded in getting fifty golden sovereigns, but that he only wanted 2s. Pro secutor was alarmed and terrified—he became para lysed with fear at the thought of such a charge being brought against him, and made the best of his way home, followed by the prisoner, who spoke to him at intervals. On arriving at the gate of the prosecutor's house the prisoner again made a demand on him for a few shillings, accompanied with threats of exposure, and said he would keep prosecutor's umbrella (which he had with him) until he came back with the money, and snatched it away from him. Prosecutor went into the house in great alarm ft,r some money to give him, rather than have such a charge brought against him. Oa his coming out the prisoner was gone. lie returned a few nights after and demanded the money, and after some conversation between them, pro secutor gave him in charge of a policeman he had on ' the premises. When in charge at the station-house the prisoner denied the charge, and said "he wondered that God had not struck him (prosecutor) dead, for he was a wicked man." There was not the slightest foundation for the prisoner making such a charge or demand on him. The prosecutor slid he believed the prisoner had wa`ched him for a considerable time previous, because the pri soner, when he called at prosecutor's house, described him as " a little old man, 70 years of age, who always carries an umbrella." The defence was, that the prosecutor behaved in a disgusting manner to the prisoner in the urinal in Foster-lane, and that he promised to give the prisoner 2a. and his old umbrella not to prefer a charge against him. The jury found the prisoner guilty. His lordship said the prisoner bad been guilty of a crime which he (Bann Martin) looked upon equal to that of murder, and to many men it was entire destruc tion. Tho prisoner appeared to be a man who went about selecting weak men, and he thought he bad met with such a man in this instance and could obtain money from him. His lordship marked his reprobatitin of such conduct, and were he to deal leniently with him he would be unworthy of the position he held. He sentenced him to penal servitude for life.

THIRD COURT. - - BlGAMY.—Richard Emerson was indicted for inter marrying with Judith. Deputron, his first wife being stil alive. From the evidenca of the second wife it appeared that the prisoner was the captain of a vessel trading between London and Sunderland, and that in the latter part of last year she was married to the prisoner at a church at Stepney, a'nd after they had been married for some time certain suspicions arose which led her to imagine that lie was a Married man. Thesesuspicions continued to increase, and on one occasion the prisoner was a - voy from home very late, and she then went to the owner of the pri soner's vessel, and she was there told he had gone to Sunderland. She sold up her home and followed the prisoner to Sunderland, where ph* found him in a house laying on the carpet before the fire. It turned out that the house in which he then was was his o wn, and that the person she saw was his wife. Sh e t h en accused the prisoner of having deceived her, and told him that with out she heard from him she would take proceedings against hi m . The prisoner gave her some money, but he ultimately broke his promise to behave like a brother to her, and she was left destitute. Witnesses were called, who stated that they were present at the marriage of the prisoner with the prose cutrix, at St. Stephen's-church, Globe -road. Mr. Brandt having addressed the jury for the prisoner, A verdict of guilty was returned, with a s t rong re commendation to mercy. The judge passed upon the prisoner the ntenee of one month's imprisonment in Newgate. NEW COURT. f EBIBIzZLEMENT.—CharIes Liste r , cl er k , aged 34, was indicted for embezzling and stealing the sum of 101., the money of Mr. George W. Pettey and another, his mas- Mr. Robinson appeared for the prosecution ; the pri soner was undefended. It appeared from the evidence that the pri soner had held the situation of clerk in the establish- Inert of Messrs. Petter and Ga.lpin, p r inters, and that on an examination of the b9ok certain deficiencies wore discovered; the books wore then sent to an accountant, but the cash and receipt-books could not be found, and had not since been discovered. On receiving the books from the accountant varioue deßeiencios were marked, and the prisoner was then asked to account for the sum. He did not do so, and other circumstances coming to the knowledge of the firm, the prieoner was given into custody. The trial had not =eluded when our report left. ' General Tom Thumb's box of jewels and presents has been stolen. It is valued at 20,000 dollars, THS ACCIDENT T THE SIEGE OPERATIONS.—We are happy to be enabled to state that the accident which occurred yesterday, at the springing of the mine on Chatham lines, to some of the troops belonging to the 60th, 64th, and 70th R eg iments, was not so serious as was at first suppc sad. Nine men are injured, but none of them severely; and the statement that ore man bad his thigh broken is an exaggeration, the only injuries sustained being a severe shaking and some slight bruises. We were informed at the hospital that the whole of the men have so far recovered that they will be fit to return tu their duty in a few dam THAMES. ROBBING A NEIGHBOUR. —Jolta Gaskin, a native of Whitstable, and described as a shipwright, in the em ploy of Mr. Wigram, shipbuilder, aged 27, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a quantity of timber, the property of Mr. Charles Fryer, builder, of No. 2, May-street, Bromley. It appeared that the prisoner, who is in good circum stances, is dwelling at 29, Bloomsbury-street, Bromley, and that the prosecutor was building several new houses in Albert-street, Bromley, in the r:.ar cf Bloomsbury street. Mr. Fryer had lately missed a good deal of tim ber and other materials from the buildings in the course of erection, and on Monday morning missed six planks from one of the houses. They were safe on the Saturday night previous. In consequence of information a police constable went to the prisoner's house and found four of the missing planks eonceiled there. A neighbour of the prisoner's, named Smith, living at No. 28, Bloomsbury street, and who is also a shipwright, saw the prisoner go into three of the unfinished houses in Albert-street on Sunday morning and bring from them several planks of wood, which he placed against the garden wall at the back of his house. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was seen to take them along the garden into his house. Mr. Pawn, who defended the prisoner, said he was a most respectable man, bore a good character, and had been in the service of Mr. Wigrazu for many years. He was instructed that the prisoner had bought the planks, and there must be some mistake on the part of the witnesses. Mr. Smith said he was quite certain he saw the pri soner take away the timber and remove it into his bou7e, and Mr. Fryer was certain as to the identity of the timber. Mr. Yardley said he would Lend the case before a jury for trial, unless the i risoner wished him (the magistrate) to dispose of it summarily. Mr. Pe ham would prefer the case being pent before a jury. The prisoner would then have some chance of an acquittal. Mr. Yardley—You th'nk thre would be no chance of an acquittal before a magistrate ? Mr. Pelham—None, I am afraid, sir. Mr. Yardley—The prisuner has a right to be tried by a jury. Take the &positions, Mr. Pyer. I intend to commit the piieeouer for The depositions having bee❑ taken by Mr. Pyor, the chief clerk, the prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in 801., and two sureties of 401. eselL COINAGE OF THE SYDNEY MINT. (From the Times' City Article) Subjoined is a communication on the anomalous results consequent upon the refusal of the Home Government to allow the coinage of the Sydney Mint to be identical with the coin of the realm. Out of about 1,200,000 sovereigns issued during the past year at Sydney, it is believed that half have been sent to this country and melted into bars. That there can be no plea for any distinction being made seems to be evidenced by the fact that all the arrangements of the Sydney Mint are con ducted in strict conformity with the system in London. The experience of the United States, moreover, may be held conclusive on that point, since no discrepancies have ever been found to arise between the head Mint at Philadelphia and the branches at New Orleans and San Francisco, although the position of the latter is perfectly analogous to that of our branch at Sydney. It ap pears, therefore, that the course adopted by the Treasury must have been wholly unnecessary on the score of safety, and that it causes nothing but a waste of labour and the establishment of a formal distinction between the mother country and a colony whiCh on all matters of commerce and finance we should bring into assimilation with us as much as possible : "Sir,—You have recently given facts and figures showing the success that has attended the establishment of a branch of the Royal Mint in Sydney. It appears that upwards of 1,157,000/. were coined during the first year of the Mint's existence. "Are you aware that a large number, possibly one half, of the coins thus made have now no existence, having been sent to England, where they are purchased as bullion and melted and transmitted to the continent in bars and ingot; ! "I shall be obliged if you will allow roe to ask why the Australian sovereign has any device on it to distin guish it from the sovereign cast on Towershill? "The Royal Mint has an establishment in London and one at Sydney, both under the same control. "The Lords of the Treasury appoint the officers and issue the regulations for both establishments. The colonial authorities have no power in either case. The Legislature of the colony votes the supplies, and it it ceased to do so the Mint in Sydney would be closed ; but while it remains open they have nothing more to do with it. Even the pyx is sent to England to be tried. Iu short, it is in reality what it is in name, a b ranch of the Royal 4Mint, superintended, as it o ug h t to b e, b y officers of the Imperial Governinent,and the coin vouched for by the Crown. " Why should not the natural consequence follow, and the coin have the same currency throughout the Queen's dominions as if made in London 7 "Berkeley-street, Aug. 18." "A COLONIST.

At Eupatoria, as at Balaklava, Kamiesh, and Kertch, only a few foreign traders have remained of various nationalities, who have not yet succeeded in exporting or selling all their goods and the wooden huts they possess. As soon as the enemy quitted these towns steps were taken for purifying them in conformity with the regulations laid down by the sanitary pOlice; the inhabitants then entered them, when the civil and judicial authorities were re established. Aide-de.Camp General Connt Stroganoff, Governor• General of New Russia and Bessarabia, com• menced, between the 14th and 21st of July, a tour of inspection along the coasts of the Crimea on board the steamer Andia, with a view to ascertain in person whe ther all the measures he had thought it his duty to order had been carried out. He particularly remarked, with extreme satisfaction, the rapidity with which Kertch is rising again from the destruction of which it had been the scene. In ,three weeks ord er h as b een completely restored there—all the streets are already almost entirely freed of the fi th that encumbered them; the inhabitants, on their return to the town, are busily employed in re constructing their dwellings, and the sale of alimentary articles is again going on in the markets. The inhabi• tants of the neighbourhood have also resumed the culti vation of their fields. A sum of 20,000 silver roubles has been assigned by way of succour to the inhabitants of the Vitebsk Go vernment, the hsrvest in which may be looked upon as almost a general failure.

The following is the last correspondence between the Lord Mayor and the Prefect of the Seine, re lative to the recent inundations in France and the subscriptions raised hero for the relief of the suf ferers : " Mansion-house, Aug. 12, 1856. " Mon. le Pi diet, forwarded to you, on the 25th ult., a s'ztli contribution of 100,000 francs, on account of the English subscription for the relief of the sufferers by the mutilations in France, and I then stated that I had some hopes of being able to send you a round sum to liquidate the accounts of the subscription. It is with great pleasure that I have now to inform you _that I have this day directed Messrs. Rothschild Brothers to remit to you 165,000 francs, which will make tho English su,t,eription lniount to the sum Ot 765,000'ft-sues. This is the wtAl'e of what I shall have to send you, excfpt a balance of some thousand fraucs. "In thus ttrtnim , ting, our accounts, I feel highly gra tified, Mons. le I'refet, to see the fraternal sentiments with which we are iwpired towards you, and which are destined henceforward to unite our nations more closely-, so well a;preciated. , The subscription opened for thin purpose at the Mansion-house, in which her Msjesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to take a part, has been nobly supported by our fellow citi zens ; and whilst the bankers, merchants, annuitants, and large 'commercial - companies contributed to it to a great amount, persons in a humbler sphere of life also I evinced their sympathy in the cause by the contribution of less considerable sums. "The provinces, also, have most honourably followed the initiative of the City of London, and you will see by the list I shall send you immediately, that Manches ter, Leed , Bristol, Nottingham, and other provincial towns have greatly augmented our subscription by their contributions, in order to present a national offering to you. The alliance, cemented on the soil of the Crimea, is not merely a political alliance, but it is a bond of sympathy and friendship which, I hope, will never be riven asunder. " For myself, AL to Pr6fet, I rejoice to find myself in a position to aid, officially, so good a work, so much the more as this opportunity has enabled me to renew with you the friendly relations that I begun last year. " Receive, Mons. le Prdfet, the assurance of my greatest respect, &c., " DAVID SALOMONS, Lord Mayor. "Mona. le Prefet de la Seine." " PARIS, Aug. 18, . "My Lord,--I received the letter by which y0u 1856 did inform ine TIM. Rothschild Brothers were encharged to pay me 165,0001. for the account of the English volun tary contributions, made in aid of the sufferers by the late inundations in France, which spin bears the total subscription to the even sum of 765,000 f. " I cc,ald not, my Lord, find enough expressive terms to say how much I am affected by so large a sympathy; I could even say so unanimous, since all classes, from the common worker and the, boy in 'school to your be loved and glorious Queen, were anxious to relieve our unfortunate countrymen. "Indeed, we may now speak to each other as united by friendship, for we were so in peace as in war, in glo r y as in misfortune ; and your Lordship is right in saying the alliance cemented in the Crimea is not only a politi. cal alliance, but a sympathetic and friendly tie, which we hope shall never be broken off. I congratulate myself upon these generous offerings haring passed through the bands Of an honourable man, of whom I learned personally to appreciate merit and heart; and I pray your Lordship to accept the number• lees thanks the voice of my COUlltryarwoiall a m, my Lord, you r most affectionate and d ev oted, ~B To his Lordship, David Saotnons, HeAx.euisai:atif.ter Lord Mayor of London."
