SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Czar Nicholas of Russia has so far winced under the public indignation expressed by the House of Commons in the debate on Mr. C. Fergusson's motion of the 21st ult., for an address to his Majesty on the treat ment experienced by Poland, as to feel it incumbent on him to publish a manifesto, ex planatcry of the rights which he acquired over that unfortunate country, and vindicatory of the manner in which he has fulfilled the obli gations imposed upon him by the treaty of Vienna in 1815. The manifesto, the writer of which must have been conscious of the uphill work he had to execute, is the most elaborate that we have ever read ; but, from the inherent badness of the cause, it is the feeblest also. No part of the conditions of the solemn treaty of 1815 is dwelt upon as of importance but that which " unites" Poland to Russia, being the ex parte construction of the Russian advocate, while the restraints, qua lifications, and limitations of that union, as distinctly specified in the treaty on behalf of Poland and of Europe, as the union itself was on the side of Russia, are slurred over as of no value wha'ever, or declared to be but incidents, secondary and subordinate, to the fundamental law transferring Poland to the Russian sceptre. Now the union of Poland to Russia, permitted and au thorised by the treaties of Vienna, was not an incorporating union. Yet, as such it is sub stantially treated by the Russian advocate throughout. Poland, under that treaty, was to have a " popular representation," and " na tional institutions," " adapted to the political existence that the Emperor should think fit to grant to his Polish subjects." If these latter words be not pure jargon, or designed by all the negotiators at Vienna to neutralize the force of the preceding obligation, could it, let us ask, have been contemplated for one moment, that the phrase "adopting a popular representation, and national institutions," was to justify the extinction of both ? Yet that is the sense con tended for by the fag of a Russian manifesto writer. If the parties to the treaty of Vienna had been satisfied to vest an unlimited power of treating Poland as he pleased in the Emperor of Russia, we must say that prodigious trouble was taken to little purpose in the framing of those celebrated treaties. The attempt to bring the whole Polish question within the exclusive arbitrament of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, the three parties who have been all along the main violators of every right, divine and human, which Poland was interested in enjoying, is of a piece with the cool audacity of the entire composition. If Russia fancies that it will influence opinion here in her favour ; she reckons without her host.—Times. Our chivalrous contemporary the Standard was last night extremely romantic in vindication of Lord Warwick, and we should suppose was assisted by his Lordship's butler. The case of the Earl of Warwick is an issue of fact, and the Noble Earl, never very ingenious or remark able for his powers of composition, is, like a drowning man, sinking deeper at every plunge. The Standard finds it convenient to accuse the Government of plotting the removal of the Warwickshire Lord Lieutenant, whereas the Reformers complain that the Ministry did not dismiss the unworthy servant of the Crown on the conviction of the special report of the Com mons Committee. His Lordship conveniently abstained from explaining the awkward imputa tions against him, and ventured on the dangerous defence of an alibi. The indictment against the Noble Earl, as assigned in the report, consists of the following five counts : " That the gross bribery which, by the report of the Committee on the 13th day of May, prevailed at the last election fir the borough of Warwick, on the part of the agents of the Hon. Sir Charles John Greville, remains uncontradieted ; the agents and parties implicated in such liribery not having produced any witnesses or evidence before this Select Committee to disprove the same. " That gross bribery at the last election fur the said borough has been proved to have been committed by William Oram, William Trepess, jun., Joseph Trepess, William Henry Betts, William Ayres, George Buckley, Samuel Dingley, Henry Thomas Cooke, and the Town Clerk, James Tibhitts, all electors of the said borough ; that the money distributed by those persons in such gross bribery appears to have been paid to them by the said James Tibbits, and that such money was supplied to the said James Tihbitts by Alexander Brown, the then steward of the Right Hon. Henry Richard Greville, Earl of War. wick, from the private funds of the said Earl of Warwick, standing in the name of the said Alexander Brown, at the Warwick Bank of Messrs. Greenway and Greaves. 6 ' That it appears to your Committee that there were unusual and serious riots previous to and at the said last election, and that there was great injury to the persons of the burgesses and destruction of their property ; that the aid of the military was called in to support the civil power ; that such riots and disturbances originated in the introduction into the borough, by the agents of the said Sir Charles John Greville, of large bodies of strangers and non-resident agricultural labourers, many of them in the etnoly of tenants of the Earl of Warwick, and of hired fighting men from neighbouring places ; and that such persons were maintained and paid by Henry Thomas Cooke and others, and the money provided by the said James Tibbitts, town-clerk. " That it appears that the Right Hon. Henry Richard Grevil'e, Earl of Warwick, a Peer of the Realm, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Warwick, and Recorder of the borough, in violation of the resolutions and stand kg orders of the House, did unconstitutionally apply, by his agent and steward, Alexander Brown, 3,0001. and upwards towards the election expenditure and promotion of the political interest of the candidate, Sir Charles John Greville, in the transfer of such sum of money to James Tibbitts, town-clerk of the said borough, who appropria ted the same to the various corrupt and illegal practices at the last election, the office of town-clerk being in the appointment of the Recorder. " That Alexander Brown, steward of the Earl of Warwick., subsequent to the election of 1831, caused numerous borough, and (many of them non-resident in the gh, and dependents of the Earl of Warwick) to be fictitiously rated to the A n l a James p oor of the two parishes of the d said borough, an d e h' said E ar l, for fi th e e t; c f fly in respect of property of the tious r p e urpose of creating ft audulent votes, and th at by Alexa eipts or rent appeared to have been prepared ndbeerr o ß f r s o u w eh n c i o n i o s u u r p p b o i r t o f d th e m that a consid era bl e num e r eons were erased f rom the Re ist f E tors y-rat e p - g e vising barriders, but t h at c by the re masnyidwrs o re retained, and voted a at the last election fo r t h e rr l e T John i b b G r r r e• vine, and that Alderman Henry Smyth the town-clerk, aided and abetted l anderßrown in supporting such fictitious vot es; but that the to Honourable corrupt Sir Charles John Greville does not appear Com mittee to have personally participated i n the aboveyour and illegal practices. " That your Committee have been imp e d e d in their n i quiries by the absence of Alexander Brown, the Steward of the Earl of Warwick, and that it was prov e d to their satisfaction that due diligence had been used to p rocure the attendance of the said Alexander Brown, and it i s t h e i r opinion that such absence was wilful, and for the purpose of impeding their inquiry." if his Lordship in a second " explanation," or the Standard, or any anxious Tory, can satis factorily rebut these specific and grave accusa tions, we shall exceedingly rejoice. The Earl of Warwick may have been advisedly absent kiitm these disgraceful transactions were accom. ~,/ , _,l.Nnp)ished by his money, with his property, .and for • 14 1 ' tfirp-itilltereSt ;" but it is somewhat curious, as .41V01-9.iricidenc—,lhat the final state of the poll was — l!': c ,...NZ-:Oatismittett• t his Lordship by an express or ial rept / When the evidence appears, we _ AU. set tths _matter in its true light ; and, in the - alifiekth le;'; e repeat our sincere advice and re commendation to his Lordship—to resign his Lieutenancy and Itecordership, or we imagine he will be displaced from the former by a vote of the House of Commons next session, and from the latter by the judgment of the Court of King's Bench.—itiorning Chronicle. Our contemporary of a Treasury Evening Journal, whose turn for a solemn and rather occult sort of waggery makes it often difficult to discover whether he only points a sermon or perpetrates a joke, affects to mistake us respect ing the omission of the name of the Morning Herald from the Parliamentary debate relative to the Russian treaty with the Porte ; and even that falsification of historical accuracy in report ing we only adverted to for the purpose of show ing that, while he laboured to bring our cor respondence into discredit, he was too well con vinced of its truth to allow, as far as he was concerned, even a Parliamentary record to tes tify to the quarter from which it came. Though he spoke slightingly, it is evident he did not think slightingly of that page of modern " By zantine history" which we gave to the public. As to being especially noticed in his own com mentary, he falls into an amusing error if he thinks we are ambitious of that sort of fame. We can well bear the obscurity which his perpetual silence would inflict upon us. We certainly do not want of any parasite of the Treasury a " certificate of existence." If our contemporary had confined himself to a nibbling notice of our correspondence, without mixing up the merits of the case along with it, we should have had less to say upon the subject ; though we pre sume be would consider any reasoning or opinion too long that exposed the incapacity of his pa trons at the Foreign Office and their employes in foreign stations to vindicate the honour, pre. serve the influence, and protect the interests of England. Nor can it he said of us that, with regard to Russian policy, we are wise only after events, for when the Treasury Journals were all with one accord joining in strains of compliment to the honour and good faith of Russia, we over and over again warned Ministers to be on their guard against the subtle and treacherous diplo macy of that power. Often have we been sneered at and taunted by the Treasury prints for expres- ' sing our doubts of the sincerity of Russia in professing to bring about a speedy and amicable adjustment of the Belgic question—we have more than once appealed to the history of the past to throw light upon the present designs of Russia—we blamed the Wellington Adminis tration, in the day of its apparent prosperity, for lowering the character and endangering the interests of England by a truckling subserviency to that Power, whose great object, ever since the overthrow of Napoleon, has been to strike a deadly blow at the political influence and the commercial and maritime superiority of England. The deaf adder is not more deaf to the voice of the charmer than Ministers were to any warning from any quarter as to the cir cumventing policy and ambitious designs of Russia. Their infatuation which was perfectly unaccountable, made them accomplices of the deception practised upon themselves, and, what is worse, upon the country, in the Turco- Russian treaty, Our Ministers were certainly not wise &fore experience. The question now to be solved is, have they become after expe rience. Or will the smooth and guileful lan guage of the Northern Autocracy, while it lays one iron hand on the ruins of Poland, and the other on the wreck of the Ottoman empire, lull them into the sleep of blind confidence again ? The expense of a naval expedition to the Bos phorus, to prevent Russia from establishing her supremacy there, perfectly appals our economical contemporary. He is not so much alarmed at expense, or the opposition of Mr. Hume, when he has got to perform the dirty work of defend ing such a thing as the nefarious Russian-Dutch loan job, whereby the destroyer of Poland, the violator of the treaty of Vienna, was rewarded with millions of English gold to encourage him to laugh us to scorn among the nations. — Morning Herald. The inquiry on the stationery contract, as it is called, has elicited curious facts, and we are inclined to suspect the following business points have not received the attention they deserve from Government. It appears that the osten sible contractor was Jonathan Muckleston Key, while the real contractor was Sir John Key, the Member ; and so little were even appearances attended to, that the bills drawn in the name of the contractor who signed the bond were (kraal by another party without his authority, and accepted, by way of making payment for the goods s u p p li e d at t h e instance of Sir John Key himselF. They were, therefore, no discharge to the Stationery Office. In the progress of the inquiry these facts having appeared, the following letter was sent by Mr. Jonathan Muckleston Key to the Chairman, Lord Granville Somerset:— " August 12,1833. "My Lord—l understand it has been asserted in your Committee that the Bills drawn during the past and pre sent year for the goods delivered under my contract were not drawn in my name, or by my authority. " I certainly do not recoPect that I ever gave authority in words to my brother, or any other person, in my name to draw such bills; but I knew that payments were to be made by drafts at thirty days' sight, and which I expected would I e received by my brother ; and I adopt, without hesitation, those bills which have hitherto been drawn in my name for the goods delivered according to contract. " I have, &c. "J. M. KEY." This recognition of the bills was of course quite right on the part of Mr. Jonathan Muckle .ston Key ; but we suggest that it should be formally made to the parties concerned, viz. the Comptroller of the Stationery Office, or the Lords of the Treasury, for we think this letter to the Chairman of a Committee of the House of Commons is not a valid instrument for the purpose intended. It appears, also, that there should be a new bond relative to this contract, the present being a mere nullity in consequence of a curious fact, viz., that a Mr. Francis Hahn tendered by Sir John Key for one of the sureties of his brother Muckleston was not only without any property, but under age, being only 19 (see 2d Report, page 46). Sir John, it seems, thought a juvenile surety suitable to a juvenile storekeeper. The attempt to pass this young man off instead of his father, who had been surety for two or three previous years, did not succeed, and the result of the fail ure was t h at t h e f at h er ca me forward himself and si gne d t h e b on d ; b u t t o accommo date th e bond to him several erasures were made after it aniht the had been signed by the contractor Muckl es t on other surety, which era sures make th e kno in w s s trument mere waste water, as every body Key's intellig ent and t cept p er h a p s Sir John respectabl e f rien d s a t the Treasury. We understatedt that the Hon, 13a rnha ronet, no lon ger M.P., is and it would have b een very° u retain his contract; unhandsome indeed convenient to deprive him of that, after his destruction of Mr. Wood's letters° t s i t m d ay after the inquiry commenced. W e must add one word in illustration of the unfortunate igno. rance which prevailed at the Treasury of the dealings of Sir John ivith the Stationery Office. ( 4 Nobody at the Treasury," Lord Althorp says, " knew that the contract was where it was." Now it appears from the evidence that until within this twelvemonth a peculiar writing paper called "\Vhatman's Turkey mill " was, on account of its superior quality, used to a limited extent for the superior Go vernment offices, at an extra price ; and it is established by the evidence, beyond the pos sibility of doubt or misconception, that this arrangement was overthrown by the interference of Sir John Key himself at the Treasury, and that in consequence of this interference no ex clusive or peculiar quality of paper was al lowed any longer to the superior offices. But still it must be true—for Lord Althorp and Mr. Stanley have said it—that nobody at the Treasury knew that the contract was where it was. The simple-minded innocents of the Treasury ! The truth-telling apologists of the Treasury in the House of Commons ! Morning Post. We give, in another part of this day's paper, one of the most infamous documents which has ever appeared in our columns—infamous in its design, and infamous in its object—worthy of the Court of Russia, and worthy of it only. We need scarcely observe that we allude to the manifesto of that Court in answer to the late debate in the House of Commons upon the subject of Poland and her innumerable wrongs, and in vindication of the policy pursued by Russia towards that unfortunate, but heroic country. How the northern barbarian struggles to show that he has right on his side for all the enormities which he has perpetrated ! How he strives to get out of the stipulation to continue a separate existence, distinct institutions, and a popular representation, solemnly guaranteed to Poland by the treaty of Vienna! How he winces under the declaration of Lord Palmer ston, that he considered the question of Poland and her institutions to be still open—to be still in abeyance—as one that concerned all Europe, and which had not been settled ! How he dreads the spirit of liberty again awaking amidst the desolation of a ruined country and a dispersed people, and summoning to its aid the free and the brave of every country and of every clime ! And what is the cause of all this apprehension and of all this sensitiveness to even the bare mention of the name of Poland ? Is it her wrongs—her well-known wrongs—which cry aloud for vengeance to the freemen of every land, and which, if the Emperor had a heart to feel, or a heart to break, would long ere now have broken it. But though there be woe, and fear, and trembling, with the Autocrat, lie is still for holding onward—he does not repent him of the evil which he has done, and the ca lamities, both public and private, of which he has been the author to unhappy Poland and her children —nay, he attempts to justify it, and declares that no one has a right to interfere between him and his prey. The scabbard, he says, was thrown away, and when 'Warsaw fell, the law of the strongest gave to him the right of dealing with the weakest as he thought fit. So, indeed, it has been, and so we fear it must be with Poland for some time to come ; but it will not be so always. The manifesto in question, artfully drawn up as it is, betrays in every sentence of it a conviction of wrong—nay, if we may so speak, a secret shrink ing from the iniquities which it attempts to jus tify, which might be improved by energetic re mons!rances on the part of France and England, into something like a surrender of the prey ; while, however clouded the horizon may now he—however dark and distant the prospect of Poland's regeneration, we see no more reason to despair of it, than we do of the abolition of op pression and tyranny throughout the world ge nerally. The light is breaking in on all sides— free institutions are the demand of the people in all quarters—and do what they may, the op pressors of the human race—the creatures that live but for themselves, and for the evil of their kind—will neither be able to shut out the one, nor to suppress the other. The struggle, in- deed, is as yet only commencing ; yet the victory may be deemed as certain as that the dawn will in due time be followed by meridian splendour.—Morning Advertiser. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, AUG. 27. IN RE THOMAS DEANE ALDERSON. This case is of some importance, as evincing, in a strong manner, the great necessity that exists for the immediate operation of the new Bill recently brought into Parliament by the Lord Chancellor, in reference to the Court of Bankruptcy, and espe cially providing for the better regulation of the sit tings of the Court of Review. Mr. CITING applied to Mr. Commissioner Pane on behalf of the bankrupt for an injunction to re strain the assignees of his estate from selling most irregularly arid at a great sacrifice property of a considerable value ; the sale was fixed for Friday next, a notice to that effect was served on the bank rupt by the solicitors of the assignees, and the sale would be peremptory unless an injuncion was served forthwith. Now, he had strongand most conclu sive reasons for supporti ng an application for an injunction, but lie was in this dilemma—that the judges of the Court of Review were out of town, and lie was at a loss to know how to proceed, but thought that from the peculiarities of the case the Learned Commissioner could interfere with effect. Mr. Commissioner FANE thought that the exer cise of his jurisdiction in this peculiar case was very doubtful ; in fact, he believed the matter was be yond his jurisdiction. He would, however, remon strate with the assignees, and use his best exertions to prevent the sacrifice alluded to. That they had the power to sell he did not donht, as in them was vested the legal possession ; he would, however,sum mon them and all the parties concerned before him some day before that fixed on for the sale, and should then inquire further into the subject. Mr. CItING thanked the Learned Commissioner and withdrew. WiManz Lloyd, late a grocer in Union-street, in the Borough, who had been committed to gaol on Friday last, for not discovering where his books were secreted, and for the general contumacious ness of his conduct, was this day brought up before Mr. Commissioner EVANS, who severely repri manded him, but discharged him on his promising to give up his books and render such information to the assignees as they might deem necessary for the benefit of the estate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Yesterday public curiosity was — most powerfully excited by the examination of 2W,. Thomas Cox Savory, of No. 54, Cornhill, silversmith, upon a charge of having in his possession various silver ar ticles, upon which were forged marks of the Gold smiths' Company. A great number of the most eminent persons in th e tra d e were present d ur i ng the investigation. Several members of the Society of Friends attended, Mr. Savory being one of that religious cla , s. Mr. Alley attended for the prosecution, which was or fur M r . Savory. he case was one of the instituted irl,e b ya y psp t t h ea e at er G edd o ta l i d isa s st m ot i l ' Company. Mr. Hob most important as regarded the public a nd tl,e cha racter of the English nation in foreign countries. The practice of forging the marks of the Company was, he regretted to say, carried on to a most ruin ous and alarming extent, and the Government were defrauded and the fair trader injured in proportion. The duty which was evaded by the forgeries amounted to Is. 6d. an ounce, so that the criminal person could undersell the rest of the trade, and of course command a very great business. Mr. Savory's shop was furnished with articles which were disposed of at a rate which caused some suspicion that very extraordinary skill was exercised by him, and purchases were made which soon exhibited the nature of the ar rangements by which the great trade of the house was carried on. It would require the ingenuity of a casuist to show how Mr. Savory could be sup posed to be innocent of the knowledge of the fact, kept up as it was from day to day continuously in his shop. A person named Treen, who had been in the employment of Mr. Savory, and who had pawned some silver spoons, absconded when the noise was made about the offence, and the pawn broker at whose shop the goods were pledged, see ing something rather odd about the marks, took them to the hall, where the fraud was instantly detected. Mr. nobler, jun., said that Mr. Savory was at Hastings at the time the noise was made imputing fraud to him, and came to town the moment he heard of it, and of the apprehension of a man for the offence, and attended at the Mansion-house on the preceding day to give his evidence, and render assistance in the discovery and punishment of the offellAder. Mr. Alley—lf he had not, we would have brought him to town compulsorily. We would have out lawed him. Mr. Hobler, jun.—We deny the charge altoge ther, and we are in a situation to prove the correct• ness of all our transactions in business, and, by con sequence, our total ignorance of the charge imputed to us. Mr. Alley said that all persons in the trade were under an obligation to make an entry at Goldsmiths' Hall, not only of their shops, but of the warehouses in which their articles were manufactured. Mr. Savory had never mentioned his manufactory at all. The LORD MAYOR—I consider it to be the duty of the Goldsmiths' Company to take care and pro vide themselves with those necessary particulars most accurately, and it is evident that there has been neglect upon their part. That circumstance, how ever, does not tend at all to exonerate Mr. Savory. Mr. Wood, pawnbroker, of No. 35, St. John's street, deposed that he took in pledge, about three weeks ago, several tea-spoons, some of which were pawned in the name of Treen, and some in the name of Cook. Upon examining them he suspected that some trick had been played about the marks, and he took them to Goldsmiths' Hall, where the marks were pronounced to be forgeries. The intitials " T.C.S." were upon the spoons. Mr. John Smith, assayer to the stamp-office of the Goldsmiths' Company, deposed that the marks on the spoons exhibited were forgeries. The King's head, the leopard, and the lion, were all forged. They were well executed. Mr. George Miles, assay-master of the Goldsmiths' Company, deposed that he went on Friday last to Mr. Savory's shop, and examined the plate there. He found about 25 or 26 ounces with forged marks. The duty was Is. 6d. an ounce. Mr. Cope, the Marshal, left a person in the shop to take care of the goods. Mr. Nobler, jun.—Were there not numerous ar ticles in the shop marked legally ? Witness—Yes, there were about 600 ounces of other spoons in the shop. Mr. Hobler—Had not Mr. Savory's people an opportunity of removing those which were found to be forged ? Witness—No; they certainly had not. Mr. William Cox, Prime Warden of the Gold smiths' Company, deposed that in consequence of information which he had received he went, at the desire of his brother wardens, to Mr. Savory's shop, and asked for half a dozen teaspoons. There were three persons in the shop behind the counter, and two of them waited upon witness. They handed him the spoons he required, and he was satisfied that the marks were forgeries. He asked whether they had any others, and whether the marks of Goldsmith's Hall were upon the spoons. They re plied, that if they omitted to have the articles marked at Goldsmith's Hall the penalty upon each omission would have been 501. He purchased five spoons for 21., and took them home, and he ascertained at Goldsmiths' Hall that the marks upon them were forgeries. The LORD MAYOR said he thought it an over sight in the witness not to have sent a stranger to make the purchase ; for if the Prime Warden of the Company had happened to be known in the shop, the ends of justice might have been completely defeated. The witness said that he did not belong to the craft, and was a perfect stranger to the concerns of Mr. Savory. He had consulted with his brother wardens before he went, and they were of opinion, that as he was so little known, he was the proper person to employ on the mission. There was a necessity far secrecy also in so important a case, as other parties were implicated. The LORD MAYOR—It was certainly an act of kindness to Mr. Savory. In my opinion there has been a great deal of mismanagement. If the busi ness had been left to Mr. Cope and the two For resters, the case would have been different. It was riot a few ounces that would have been found. 1 advised, when application was made to me for a search -warrant, that not an instant's delay should take place. In such an affair, expedition is every thing. Witness declared that every thing was done for the best. He asked the shopman whether they had spoons of another pattern, and one of them nudged the other, and replied in the negative. The nudge was as much as to say that witness was an ignorant person, and therefore the kind of person to whom articles of the kind might be sold. The LORD MAYOR—Your notion of the nudge is very different from mine. Mr. Alley—The shopmen denied that they had any spoons of a different pattern, although there were several in the window at the moment ; but those in the window had the genuine marks upon them, and therefore would not be sold to the witness. NIG nobler, jun.—They happened to be plated articles, and not silver.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Did you see Mr. Savory in the shop ? Witness—No; I never saw him till to-day. M. ALLEY—I don't charge Mr. Savory with having sold forged plate himself ; I charge him with having possession of it. As I said before, the trade are deeply interested in this investigation. Mr. Savory, by evading the payment of the duty, has been ena bled to sell a great deal cheaper than other persons. The fraud is in every respect a most dangerous and destructive one to the fair dealer. Customers who have purchased plate of Mr. Savory have gone into the shops of other silversmiths arid reproached them with the dearness of the articles they sold, exhibit ing Mr. Savory's goods as a proof of tbeextortionate price of the rest of the trade. - Mr. Hobler, jun.—Your Lordship must not look at this case as you would view a charge made against a known offender, whose previous habits would ren der an inquiry less difficult. This charge has been made against a young man of unimpeachable cha• racter, just coming into life, with most respectable friends and connexions, a member of a religious community well-known in every part of the world, and respected for their humanity and the correctness of their moral conduct, and most exemplary in their commercial transactions. Mr. Alley—That's no answer to the positive possession of spoons with forged marks upon them. The LORD MAYOR (to Mr. Hobler, jun.)— I know that your client is in excellent hands, and t h a t you will not let him say a word that may tell against himself; but I shall persevere in my deter m►nation to examine prisoners as well as witnesses. It was but the other day Mr. Justice James Parke stated his surprise, in the course of the trial of two atrocious offenders, shat their confession bad not been taken down in writing, and condemned the practice of cautioning prisoners not to say anything that might prejudice themselves on their trial. "If guilty,' said the Judge, " the more they told, and the more certain their conviction was rendered, the better. Prisoners are not to be entrapped into a confession ; they are to be told it would be used against them. Everything they chose to say should be taken." Now, I consider that the onus lies upon Mr. Savory to account for these forged marks. Mr. Hobler—We can prove that we have uni formly paid everything which other silversmiths pay. Mr. Jeremiah Fuller produced the books of the company, from which it appeared that Mr. Savory had not made any entry of the place in which the plate he sold had been mauufactured. All that was entered was " Thomas Cox Savory, 54, Cornhill," the conclusion to be inferred from which was, that the manufactory was there. Witness always asked persons making entries where their manufactories were. Mr. Savory, sen., father of the defendant--They never required more than that at Goldsmiths'•hall. They have no more than my address, 14 Cornhill, on their books, and they consider that quite suffi cient. Mr. Alley—All that I can say about that is, that you, too, are guilty of a violation of the act of Par liament, and subject to heavy penalties for not hav ing entered your workshop. The LORD MAYOR—The company ought to take care that no omission of the kind should take place. The Prime Warden said the onus lay upon the defendant to show why he had not made a correct entry, not upon the stamp-office of the company. The wardens were resolved to pursue their course, to prevent, for the sake of the public and the King, so dangerous a species of imposition. The LORD MAYOR—The defendant has certainly deceived the Goldsmiths' Company by not giving them the address of his manufactory. I should like to know how long has this man, named Treen, who pawned the articles, been in the employment of Mr. Savory. Mr. Hobler, jun., prevented Mr. Savory from answering the question, and said that Treen had not been long in the service of the defendant. The LORD MAYOR—Perhaps Mr. Savory's ma nufactory is at .54, Cornhill ? Mr. Savory—Not at all, my Lord. I could have no objection to giving the address of my manufactory, but I really thought it quite unnecessary. Mr. Hobler, jun., stated that Treen's address was entered at Goldsmith's Hall, " Wm. Treen, spoonmaker, 3, Essex -street, Battle-bridge, 11th of January, 1833." Mr. Alley—We have a great deal more evidence, and shall produce it another day. In the meantime your Lordship will require security for the appear ance of Mr. Savory. The case involves the na tional character, for foreigners purchase our plate on the faith of the integrity of our public institution formed to prevent imposition. Mr. Hobler, jun.—My client will, I trust, my Lord, be permitted to be at large. He came here voluntarily, and will come again whenever you de sire his presence. I assure you we have a full answer to every tittle that has been said. The LORD MAYOR—How did he happen to be in possession of the plate with forged marks upon it ? Mr. Hobler—lt might have been purchased at other shops. Mr. Brook, the silversmith at the corner of the Poultry and several other eminent silversmiths, here declared that the imputation cast upon the trade by the observation of the defendant's solicitor was completely groundless. No respectable tradesman had plate with forged marks. It was to be found nowhere but with one man. The LORD MAYOR—I shall certainly require bail for the appearance of Mr. Savory. The offence with which he stands charged is punishable by trans portation for 14 , years. I have an objection to take take bail generally, from my knowledge of the effect produced by it upon the minds of the jury; but I shall consent to take it in this case in the present stage of the proceedings. Mr. Hobler, jun., said that his client had bail ready, as it was required. Mr. Savory knew no thing in the world about the forged stamps. Mr. Alley declared that it was quite ridiculous to suppose that the defendant, who, in his opinion, was a great offender, was ignorant of the fact. The LORD MAYOR—I certainly look upon this investigation as a very proper one. There exists not the most remote doubt of the forgery, and to whom were the consequences of that forgery profit able ? Certain it was that many respectable trades man were unable to sell their goods at the price at which the defendant sold his, and declined in trade on that account. Supposing, also, that a person in possession of a large quantity of plate with forged marks were to apply for a drawback of the duties, upon the ground of lending it out, what an enor mous fraud might he not practice. Mr. Nicholson, the silversmith of Cornhill, as sured the Lord Mayor that persons had walked into his shop, and showing him spoons which they had just bought at Mr. Savory's, said " Look at these, I got them at Savory's for 4s. 6d. a-piece, while you ask for the same sort of article Gc.," just the difference caused by the duty. Mr. Nicholson de clared that the plan of underselling in this manner had caused the most dreadful injury to the trade. Men who had a command of money to any extent could not get up plate at the rate Mr. Savory sold it. It was quite impossible; the trade all knew it, and were long astonished at the unparalleled cheap. ness of the plate of that gentleman ; but now the miracle was all over. roo A m lr . . Savory was then bailed, and left the justice- HATT ON- GARDEN. Yesterday 11/r. Scott, watch-maker, of Salisbury street, Strand, was fully committed to take his trial, for indecently assaulting two men, with intent to excite them to the commission of an unnatural offence. DEATH OF SIR HARRY GOODRICICE.--.lt is our painful duty to record the death of Sir Harry Good ricke, Bart., at his residence, Ravensdale Park, in the county of Louth. Sir Harry had enjoyed but a very few years the princely estates left him by his uncle, the late Lord Clermont. He had made great improvements both at the Park, and at his other residence in Louth, Cler mont Park. Some other works, which would have given employment to numbers, were, we understand, contem• plated by Sir Harry. He was a benevolent man and an excellent landlord. His premature death will be severely felt by all cla'ses.—Newry Telegraph.. EX-SHERIFF PARKINS.—The trial against this individual in the Superior Court for a libel published in a letter, which has occupied the attention of the Court for three successive days, terminated last evening about six o'clock, in a verdict against him of six cents. da• mages, and six cents. costs. Although the words com plained of were actionable, the Jaly, we presume, went upon the ground that the reckless and indiscriminate abuse which the defendant is accustomed to scatter around him, is from the estimation in which he is held in the com munity, altogether impotent and harmless, and therefore not a fit subject for damages. Several other slander and libel suits, we understand, are in progress against him, and an indefinite number, it is said, might be commenced; but the result of this trial will probably put a stop to such prosecutions, as no very profitable source of spec u l a ti on. Mr. Parkins chose to defend the suit in person, an d cer tainly displayed great vituperative powers, which he exerc sed alike upon the Court and Jury, upon th e counsel and witnesses for the prosecution, upon his own witnesses and assistants, and upon the spectator s o f t h e amusing scene. His incoherent raving, and the irrelevant matter which he introduced, must have impressed th e J ury w i t h the absurdity of giving weight to his slanders, and were probably a better defence than the most ingenious counsel could have devised for him. It was apparent, that in permitting his frequent outrages upon all forensic decorum, the Court c ed by a consideration of the unhappy peculiarities of his s mind and o f his isolated con dition in society.
