BITLL BOROUGH SESSIONS. TrM RECORDER'S VISI CHA.RGE—THE QUEEN'S T. The Michaelmas sessions for this borough were opened o n Friday last, before Samuel Warren, Esq „ Q .C., D.C.L., Recorder. The court was crowded with persons who evidently were there for the purpose of hearing the learned Recorder's charge. During its delivery there was the most profound silence observed ; indeed, when ever the least stir took place in the court there was at once a hushing for silence. The usual forms of the court having been gone through, Tne Learned Recorder proceeded to charge the Grand Jury. He said : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, — ln commencino• as Ido this day, the third year of my occupation of d thi t s i :s s ea w t, h a i n nh d before I proceed to the serious and pain f ul this day devolve on yourselves and me, Ifeeluconstrained by a sense of duty, as a loyal subjectand as a servant of the Queen, by whose direct authority I sit h e re to administer justice in her name—to advert to th e event which so splen didly signalised the close of last wee k—the personal pre sence amongst us, for a cons id erable period, of the Queen of this mighty empire. She d id ot merely flash momentarily , but lovingly deigned to accept before yon eyes, like a t your invitation to visi t, and e to rest, with you ; to see, with deliberation, this ancient portion of her dominions, and all that invests it with historical interest and importance : to look on its loya l inhab i tants, and hear the welcome pcelns of their intense an d e nthusiastic love and reverence. She came accompanied by her illustrious Consort, by the Prince o f W a l e s, and others of the Royal children, attended by greatest Minister of State , and by distinguished mem bers sof her Court. What would you have had more ? And consider the time of this memorable visit, in gracious and mos t considerate performance of a long standinc , promise, t h e Queen had doubtless been told had' last year w hich • d u ced her faithful subjects in this borough to incur, in induced eager joy, no little expense, in order to afford her gajesty a reception of befitting splendour. Gentlemen, shortly after her Majesty had ascended the throne, in the com mencement of the year 1840, occurred one of the grand est and most affecting incidents in the history of France an d England. The French Government requested England to give France the remains of their mighty hero, Napoleon, then reposing, in lonely state, at St. H e l ena . Th e Queen di rected her Ministers instantly to comply with the dignified and moving request ; and but a few chort days ago, I myself beheld the tomb preparing for the reception of those re mains. I thought of the noble wish expressed by the Queen, through her Ministers, " that the act might be regarded as a proof of her Majesty's desire to efface the last trace of those national animosities which, during the Emperor's life, had driven the two countries to war ; and that if any vestiges of such animosity should unhappily still exist, they might be buried for ever in the tomb destined to receive the remains of Napoleon :" words, as a living historian has justly remarked, of dignified generosity, worthy of the chi valrous days of a great nation. Fourteen years have since passed ; and the cannon of the Invalides, while I gazed on that magnificent mausoleum, and on the coffin of Napoleon, were about to announce to France the tidings of a fearfully glorious victory by the Allied Armies of the two nations, each shedding their best blood, together, on the heights of Alma, in defence of the liberties of all Europe, and to re pel aggression on a gallant and nnoffending state. History does not record a more wonderful event than that alliance, nor exhibit a spectacle more sublime than the attitude and action of these two mighty champions of civilisation ; eac h the radiating centre of profound st a t esmans hip, an d military and naval glory, seeking by the aid of their enormous powers and resources no object of a mbition or aggrandisement, but becoming, under Pro vidence, joint arbiters of the destinies of Europe. Gen tlemen, my official position here conferred on me, as one of two or three, the distinction and privilege of being in immediate personal attendance on her Majesty; and here let me say in the names of us all, that the demeanour and converse of her Majesty and the Prince were charac terised by a stately affability, exquistely tempered with cordiality, and intended to be bestowed, through us, upon all the inhabitants of Hull. Amidst all the cheering emo tions excited by the acciatnations of her enthusiastic sub jects, crowding every spot from which a glimpse might be caught of the sacred person of their sovereign, it may be that every now and then there flitted over her counte nance, and I think I saw it, a shade of deep anxiety, when possibly reflecting what might, at that moment, be doing, and being suffered by her valiant troops and those of France in the East, among whom, too, her own royal c ousin was gallantly sharing the toils and mortal perils of every private under his command.—such, gentlemen, are the circumstances investing the late royal visit with a most special significance, and even of themselves entitling your sovereign to your profound gratitude. Gentlemen, I several times heard from the lips of her Majesty and the Prince expressions of high gratification at the affection ate enthusiasm with which they were received. She then, indeed, " saw spontaneouslyexemplified," as Edmund Burke expressed it, " the cheap defence of nations, the unbought loyalty of the heart ; and her Majesty men tioned a fact which I myself then heard for the first time, that not a single special constable had been sworn in on the occasion of her visit; the Prince adding with energy, that the people were their own special constables, and had kept the peace themselves. Let me also mention the astonishment with which the Queen and Prince ap peared to behold, so gaily and picturesquely developed, your great dock capabilities. In that astonishment the humble individual who addresses you shared largely ; and is satisfied that the scene has left a deep impression on the minds of your royal visitors. The last words which her Majesty uttered, in my hearing, were in admiration of the position of Hull, and the magnificent Humber. Gen tlemen, I know that the Queen and Prince were deeply affected by the overwhelmin g ex hibi t i on which met their eyes, before quitting their night's resting place, on Satur day night last. I, too, shall never forget that vast area of exulting fellow-subjects, which surrounded her, nor the thrilling peal which burst from upwards of twelve thou sand school children, of every denomination, singing the National Anthem, aided by as many enthusiastic adults ; but amidst all the array of intermingled banners, my eye caught one which possibly may also have attracted the watchful eye of her Majesty. It bore the words " Poor, but Loyal," and I found that it wee borne by the Workhouse children ! lam not ashamed to say that my heart and my eyes overflowed. That banner, with its simple and moving inscription, hung before my mind's eye incessantly, even in the vivid presence of Majesty and Royalty • and had I but been able to trust my feel ings, I should have ventured to tell her Majesty of that banner ; and I know how she would have received the intelliegence : for she is the loved and loving Queen of all alike, young and old, high, and low, rich and poor, wher ever on the face of the whole earth they may be ; wielding God's authority even over us all, and herself ever paying the same implicit obedience to the law of the land, which is due from, and which she is bound to see paid by, every one of her subjects. I thought, as she moved along, and such joyous unanimity of a great feeling was manifested, oh that this may last, and in all its intensity, that all may always equally love her, as she loves all equally : that her radiant presence here may not in its effects pass away like .the dew or the cloud, but long continue to soften and melt away every element of discord, civil and religious, fusing all into one glowingsentiment of piety and loyalty. Gentlemen, her Majesty's presence has not kindled (forthat was needless) the spark of loyalty in the heart of every inhabitant of this borough, but fanned it into a perfect flame, which as it now illuminating all eastern Yorkshire, so I hope may warm and irradiate every heart, so long as it continues to beat. She whom you have so lately had among you appears, in her regal capacity, under two aspects with which we are at pre sent concerned. She is the fountain of justice ; not be it ob served, as the author, or o: iginal, but as the distributor of it, in pure and constant streams—not as of her free gift, but as the steward of the public, to dispense it to whom it is due, as their birthright ; not the spring, but reservoir, whence justice is conducted by a thousand channels to every indi vidual, and one of these channels we here see in existence, this day. But, gentlemen, the other aspect of her Ma jesty's sacred office is, that she is the fountain of honour and privilege ; the true fountain, in the strictest sense— the real and only source of honour in this vast empire. The law supposes that none can be so good a judge of the merits and services of those who serve her as the Sove reign who employs them ; and it has intrusted her with the sole power of conferring dignities and honours, in con fidence that she will bestow them upon none but such as deserve them ; and the last act of the Queen, in this her exalted capacity, and while still your majestic visitor, was the public and graceful exercise of this her prerogative, in conferring upon the amiable and accomplished chief magis trate who sitr beside me, to the universal delight of his fellow townsmen, as her Majesty had taken care to ascer tain, the honour of knighthood. But, gentlemen, amid sll the splendour and excitement of that day, my own heart was sometimes suddenly saddened by reflecting how we should be engaged here, in one short week—on this very day ; and as I looked at such countless happy and exulting thousands as greatly surprised your royal visi tors themselves, I thought with grief of one miserable section of the Queen's subjects, shut out from the joyous and ennobling spectacle : seeing and hearing nothing of what was going on without; but either undergoing the de grading punishment of their crimes, or awaiting, under heavy suspicion of guilt, the assembling of this court to day ! For indeed we must now turn from so recent and richly emblazoned a page in the ancient records of the borough to the gloomy document before me—the calendar laden with the names of so many who are accused of hav ing forgotten their duty to both their Queen and their fellow subjects, by violating those laws which both Sovereign and subject are equally bound to obey. Gen tlemen, I am disheartened by this heavy calendar from saying much that I had intended, on recent and impend ing changes of an important character in the criminal law since we last met. I must therefore be brief. Since I last sat here three very interesting events have occurred is n inthi o s borough. First, its Parliamen tary rep resentation • and I cordially con longer in abeyance, but Hull has now its two members in the Commons House of Parliam ent , gratulate you all on the exemplary manner exciting contest was conducted. Ithasin which that nob furnished, as a former one did, a single case for these sessions : and I Isar that drunkenness and violence were nowhere to be even, I warmly congratulate you on such hopeful evidence of moral progress in this important and now so greatly distin g uished borough. Secondly , th e num ber of ju s ti ces of thep eace has b e en increased by the nam es of four gentl emen of high respectability and station here , one of them y our mayor. Thirdly, your wishes have been complied with, an d p os sess a stipendiary magis trate, in whose learnin g, te mper, i mpa rti a lit y, an d inde pendence, many years n roper, be lieve, warrant me in saying g ledge of him on circu i t, I Gentemen, what effect this that t t y a n p u p . o m in a t y me a n f t ely m c a n u fi l d t e i : ulti mately have upon yourselves as grand jurymen it is not for me to say ' • but I fear th a t attempts will again speedily be made in Parliament to di spense, a ltogether, with your i nva l uable services . to a re st e T x h te e n h t, an i not altogether, soft those wishing to inaugurate this serious innovation have recent and carefully been certainly strengthened by a v expressed! presentiment of a Middlesex i jury. "In former times," they say, " no doubt our for ef athers wisely accused and instituted this tribunal, to stand between tIL a court of justice; to protect innocent personnese'fl the painful ordeal of a trial, who might have been commit ted from either the ignorance of the magistrate , or causes, when party spirit ran high. But by the intel ligence of the magistrates of this day, and the powe r ful influence of the press, these causes are no longer in existence. The present utility of ourselves as grand jury is in respect of indictments, which, being pre ferred entirely on exparte statements, we consider would be much better dealt with by the magistrates, on bring ing face to face before them the accuser and the accused, We, therefore, trust that the Legislature will relieve us from being summoned to attend to business which may be considered a matter of mere form—ours being an institu tion which has outlived its utility." These topics dsserv grave consideration undoubtedly; but speaking for myself personally, and reminding you of the solemn oath which the grand juryman takes and which you have all just taken, I say, leave me the grand jury me have the concurrent. voices of twelve (at least) intelligent sworn fellow-country- Pint that the ease itllegfxl ugli&A me really requires me to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1864. undergo the agony and peril of a public trial; and I am not satisfied to leave interests so momentous in the hands of a single magistrate, however able, honest, and experienced. Again, you must combine with the consideration of this topic that of the contemplated institution of a public pro secutor, and the projected great augmentation of the sum mary powers of a single magistrate. All these are topics of infinite moment; but I must pass on, with the expression of an anxious hope that the Legislature will not gaffer itself to Ibe precipitated into rash and pernicious action. The treat ment of the criminal section of our population continues to excite the utmost anxiety among all thinking men. There really must be a reconsideration of what I shortly designate as the ticket-of-leave system, the serious evils of which are multiplying around us in all directions. The subject, however, is one of great difficulty, and re quires profound consideration by the Legislature. As to youthful criminals, a hearty but cautious effort has been made by the Legislature during the last session to meet the wishes and requirements of the country and the age. This, also, is a subject remaining environed with practical diffi culties ; and I, for one, am watching the operation of the great experiment with the utmost solicitude : curious also to see how far the country's voluntary efforts will second those which the Legislature has been so urgently pressed by the country to make. I wish from my heart God speed to this noble effort ! I am alluding now to statute 17th and 13th Vic., c. 85, passed on the 10th of August last, and entitled " An Act for the better care and refor mation of youthful offenders in Great Britain." Under its provisions, the managers of any voluntarily esta.bli,he.l institution for the better training of juvenile offenders may apply to the Home Secretary to order the institution to be inspected by one of the inspectors of prisons ; and on a favourable report it may be declared by the Secretary of State to be a "Reformatory School" under t.,e act. It is then enacted that any youth under sixteen years of age, convicted on either indictment or summary conviction, luny be ordered by the court or justices, in addition to the sentence, which must not be less than 14 days' imprison ment, to be sent, at the expiration of it, to any " Reforma tory School" which may be willing to receive him ; to be detained there fornot more thin five,nor less than two yelsrs. The parents of such offender shall b e compelled, if able, to contribute to the maintenance of such offender &weekly sum not exceeding 55.; payment to be enforced bythe compulsory powers of the Poor-law Acts. The Treasury is made liable to pay the whole or such part of the maintenance as can not be recovered from the parents ; and the act contains provisions rendering a bsconding or refractory offenders liable to three months' imprisonment, with or without hard labour, in any gaol or house of correction for the county or borough. Such are the leading provisions of the Act which might have been set in force within this bo rough by either myself at these sessions, or by the stipen diary magistrate and justices in cases cognisable by them. But this cannot now be the case. The Act as regards this borough is, during these sessions, a dead letter ; for where is your voluntarily established Reformatory School? I cannot doubt, however, that this is owing solely to the very recent passing of the Act ; and that no time will be lost in establishing one, and thus practi cally and nobly proving that the enlightened inhabitants of Hull were and are in right earnest in this great cause. Their sentiments—those of a grand jury, formally pre sented to me in court—l myself conveyed, as I promised, to the Secretary of State, and several of the leading mem bers of both Houses of Parliament. Another bold step taken by the Legislature during the last session, in a vir tuous and philanthropic spirit, was towards securing the sanctity of the Lord's-day, and thereby , also, diminishing opportunities and temptations for intemperance, that very hot-bed of crime. Who can doubt, that were there no in toxicating liquors in existence on earth, crimes would im mensely diminish, and the happiness and well-doing of our species proportionately increase ? But as times go, and with men as men are, and wemust be aware that in bending we do not break the bow, and impose a kind, and a degree, of re straint on reasonable enjoyment, which a free country will not, and indeed ought not, to tolerate. The recent act for restricting the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday has made, as I have said, a bold advance in the right direc tion ; and I wish that all mayors—all magistrates—would imitate the example of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh— and also of my excellent friend the Recorder of Birming ham, and with patient impartiality and vigilance watch the operation of that important act. God forbid, gentle men, that such a monstrous outrage on public moralitv and feeling should be committed, as that the upper classes of society, blessed with every means of complete and luxurious enjoyment of life, should cruelly debar their less favoured brethren of such fair and reasonable enjoyment, only, as their limited means and opportunities may afford ; that would be to make the rich man continue selfishly enjoying, amidst increased quietude and enhanced soli tude, that Sunday which his chafed and irritated humbler neighbour would only feel disposed to curse. But, on the other hand, do not let us be frightened by phrases, stereotyped though empty,—such as, " the impossibility of making men sober, or religions, by Act of Parliament." Let us give a fair trial to an honest attempt of the Legislature, set in motion by so many wise and bene volent persons, remembering how inevitably it is calcu lated at first to provoke resistance and resentment. Let us also make large deductions in respect of clamour among those who are selfish and base enough to regard it as a question solely of pecuniary profit and loss. By and by, the neck gets accustomed to the soft collar of social order ; and while the dissolute drunkard is hiccuping curses against the friends of temperance -his own best friends—oh, that the Legislature could catch a sight of the vast array of wives, of mothers, of sisters, faces, pale with suffering and fear of a return to old times of domestic tyranny and debauchery who, in anguished silence, are inwardly praying for the success of that move ment, which is already beginning to make their home a little heaven ! Who would tremblingly whisper in the ear of the Legislature—think of us and of our children—of those who dare not speak for ours-Ives — and be wisely and mercifully firm of purpose ; having set, your hand to the plough, oh ! look not back. I can truly say, that the result of my own inquiries elsewhere than here, especially in London, has been decisively favour able to the new law ; the operation of which I shall con tinue, as doubtless will all really interested in the public welfare, to watch with anxiety and hope. I have been given to understand, also, that in this borough, since the passing of the act, the charges for drunkenness have diminished by about two-thirds ! and that the beneficial effects .of the act are beginning to be perceived by even those whose interests might have been imagined to render them highly hostile to it. This is, indeed, most honourable to them, and encouraging to the public. So great have been the changes and improvements made by an act of the last session (stat. 17 and 18 Vic., c. 125), in the admi nistration of civil justice in England, and which will pro bably come into operation during the sitting of the Venire Court here, that one of the most celebrated members of the House of Lords (Lord Brongham) lately declared to a fr iend of mine that it alone was richly worthy of the exclusive la bours of a session. Gentlemen, I lament to see so heavy a ca lendar, nearly 60 cases, while all classes are enjoying so much prosperity. The learned Recorder then proceeded to say that , with respect to the cases in the calendar, though ther e were many of a very . serious nature, yet there was only one which called for special remark from him. This was the case of the man charged with procuring a girl, under 21 years of age, for immoral purposes. In this case the Grand Jury would have to see first that the girl was under 21 years of age ; and then that, by false pretences and representations, and by fraudulent means, she had been led into evil? If a prima facie case of this kind were made out, then it would be their duty to find a bill. The Recorder then dismissed the jury to their duties.—Hind Advertiser. (From the Bull Advertiser.) We pretend not to feel much regret at finding it im possible this week to do more than call the particular attention of the public to the eloquent, glowing, and soul-stirring charge of the Recorder of Hull to the grand jury of this borough at the opening of our quarterly ses sions yesterday. The learned Recorder, Mr. Warren, as our local readers well know, was in personal at tendance upon the Queen during her Majesty's stay in Hull ; and, as was to be expected, the lofty theme is dwelt upon in the opening of his charge in language with which it would not be very safe for newspaper writers to court a comparison. How different are the utterances of a mouth touched with a live coal from the Celestial altar from those which serve the purposes of common speech may he discovered in a moment by comparing the Recorder's glowing descrip tion of the Queen's presence in Hull with most of those previously published I Now it may surprise hundreds to be told that in the inspired utterances of such gifted men as the Recorder is to be sought and found that real matter of factness of which business men profess to be such great admirers. A true poet, for example, not only feels and apprehends more fully and ,correctly than a clever man not gifted with a poetic temperament, but he sees infinitely more in any great object presented to him than is observable by persons of more limited intellect. When it comes to ordinary questions of fact usually addressed to grand juries, such as their utility in the administration of justice-- the ticket-of-leave system—reformatory schools and the working of the new Beer Bill, the learned Recorder is as much at home as the dullest of us. In him, as in all men of high intellect, the most exalted order of mental excellence is not in the least in compatible with a thorough acquaintance with all the details of the very commonest of common things. Never theless we regard it as most expedient to take future oc casions for severally examining the questions. As re gards the Beer Bill, we most cordially concur in the thanks which, with meritorious discrimination, the learned Recorder bestows upon the Lord Provost of Edinbnigh for the pains which he has taken to make the United Kingdom aware of the practical operation of the new law in Scotland. Were all other Chief Magis trates in England and Scotland to follow his excellent example an immense amount of good would be done to the country. When in Scotland we had some conversa tion with him on the subject of his letters to the Times, and were eye and ear witnesses of the efficacy of his la bours in the promotion of National Temperance. A great deal everywhere depends upon the zeal and activity and devotedness of the Magistrates. But these are mat ters which shall have our attention when the excitement produced by the Royal visit has partially subsided, and when there are no such public teachers as the learned Recorder in the way to claim the ears of all intelligent listeners. VIGILANCE OF OUR THIEVES.—On Friday last Mr. Thomas Froggett, of the parish of Little Hereford, at tended Hereford fair, had transacted his business, and was waiting at the booking-office at the railway station in the afternoon of that day, when 2151., consisting of bank notes, gold, and a cheque for 801., were extracted from his breeches pocket. From what we have heard, we gather that Mr. Froggett, in taking some silver from his pocket to pay his own fare and that of some friend to Woofferton station, unfortunately displayed the bag containing this large amount, when it was doubtless seen by the thief, for in less than five minutes afterwards Mr. Froggett discovered he had been robbed.— Worcester Chronicle.

Waiters and chambermaids rushed jostling about, and yet bell-calls were not an swered quickly enough. Breakfasts were speedily dis cussed, and parties gathered in haste at the subscription room, but as there was no time for the transaction of business there, off they hurried to the heath, and all was bustle and excitement. Truly it was a great day for sport, 12 of the 13 races appointed fir decision being run. Altogether 95 horses went to the post, and several of the contests excited a very lively interest by their se verity and closeness. We regret is state that, after a few clays' suffering from quinsy, Mr. J seph Rogers, the well-known trainer, expired at his residence, Newmarket, on Thursday night. He was an excellent father, a good master, and a zealous promoter of the prosperity of the town. His loss will be much felt.

'E'NCE. MANSION-13 OUSE.—James Vi sing and Thomas Martin, two well-dressed young men, were brought be fore• Alderman Hunter under the Vollowing circum stances : John Storey, city detective officer, 414, said—From information I received by the electric telegraph yester day afternoon, respecting a forged bill: drawn upon the Northumberland and Durham Bank at Newcastle-on- Tyne, I apprehended the prisoners without a warrant at 3, Turner-street, Commercial-road. Th ey are described in the communication I received as " Laing and Vin ing." I believe they are connected ha some way with the charge referred to, and, if detained, I have no doubt that I shall shortly have a warrant for t'b eir apprehension on a charge of felony. They both told me that they came from Newcastle on-Tyne on Sunday last, accom panied by a woman. I have received information that the bill has been negotiated, and that part of the money was to have been obtained this day at Messrs. Glyn and Co.. the bankers, by a person named Joseph Laing. 1 believe " Joseph Laing" to be the prisoner Vining. Mr. Spairey, Superintendent of the City Police, said that, upon searching Vining, a gold watch was found on bin, and that he (the superintendent) bed reason to be lieve, from information that had reached him from the police at N e wcastle-on-Tyne, that the prisoners had been concerned in burglaries there. The prisoners were remanded. GUILDHALL.—John Worth, a respectably-attired )oung man, who described himself as a warehouseman, living at 111, Brook-street, Kennington, was charged with a moat brutal and cowardly assault ou Mrs. Char lotte Preece._ He said the plaintiff first accosted him, and wanted him to go home with her, and appealed to Mrs. Preece whether that was not the case, but she indignantly de. vied it. He then went on to state that the plaintiff had endeavoured to take liberties with him, and he, being in liquor, had struck her. The plaintiff denied the whole of this statement. Sir G. Carroll said, he should fine him 20s. for the assault, or 21 days' imprisonment. The fine was paid. LAMBETH. —Join Henry Lynne, a traveller to Sir Robert Burnett and Co., the rectifiers in Vauxhall, who was brought up in custody from Bristol by Adam Saun ders, one of the warrant officers, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of embezzling upwards of 1,5001., the moneys of his employers. Mr. Grant, solicitor to the firm, attended for the pro ecu tion ; and Mr. Logie, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Drew, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Grant having briefly stated the nature of the charge, called Mr. G. R. Burnett, one of the partners of Sir Robert, who deposed that the prisoner had been in the employment of the firm as a traveller and collector for about 10 years, and, as such, it was his duty to collect orders for the house through the west of England. It was also his duty to receive moneys on account of the firm from all parties he did business with, and to account for the same every ten days or a fortnight, by sending what was called a " pay-list," and further, to send the money received by him, and to balance the account every three months. The account, or pay-list, put in was that furnished by the prisoner, and purported to contain the items, or entries, of al, transactions for the house from the 19th of August last to the 14th of September. In that account there was no entry for 871. lOs 9d. received by the prisoner from Messrs. Swan and Saunders, of Exe ter on the 25th of August. Oa the sth of October the prisoner came to town, as was his custom every three months, to settle his accounts, and on the 13th he came to him (Mr. Burnett), and asked him to advance hint 1501., and also a check for 1001., on account of his salary, saying he had not money enough to pay up his balance ; but he refused to do so. According to the pri soner's own acknowledgment, be had received during his journey 4,6141. es., and had only paid in 3,9421. 6s. 7d., se that this would leave a balance of 671/. 19s. 5(1. unaccounted for, but out of this the prisoner was entitled to about 2001. for expenses. The sum of 87/, 108. 9d. did not form any part of this account, and, in fact, it had never been accounted for at all by the prisoner. In con sequence of the state of the prisoner's accounts, and the deficiency in his balance, he (Mr. Burnett) caused cir culars to be forwarded to all the customers of the house in the west of England, and by this means ascer tained that on the 25th of last August the prisoner received the cheque 871. 10s. 9d. before mentioned, and on the back of that cheque was a receipt stamp, over which is written the prisoner's name, in his own handwriting. In his cross-examination, Mr. Burnett admitted that the firm held as a security poli cies of assurance on the prisoner's life, but these, he said, were for advances made to him before on account of the illness of his wife and family. There were also securities from a guarantee society, the officers of which he understood were now in possession of the prisoner's furniture and effects. In reply to Mr. Elliott, the witness said, that, if even he complied with the prisoner's request, there would still be a balance of 2211. 19s. sd. left on the quarter's account, but he was sorry, he said, to add that the prisoner's deficiencies altogether amounted to 1,5001. Mr. Passet Burnett, a relative, and clerk to the firm, said that on the sth inst. the prisoner came to him in the counting-house and read over the items in his quar terly or three months' account, and he (witness) chocked over each entry in the books as they were called. The entries in the books were those that had been taken from the different accounts or pay-lists forwarded every 10 days or a fortnight by the prisoner. The item of 87/. 10s. 9d. did not appear in the books, nor was it called over by the prisoner. The prisoner called over the name of Swan and Saunders, of Exeter, as having returned some casks, but he did not say anything , of having received a check for 87/. 10s. 9d. on the 25th of August from that firm. Mr. Grant here said, that he was not at present pre pared to carry the case further, and had therefore to re quest his worAiip to remand the prisoner to a future day, when he should be prepared with the necessary witness to support the charges of embezzlement against him. Mr. Logie observed that, under the circumstances, he did not feel justified in resisting a remand for further inquiry, but he had to apply to his worship to admit his client to bail, a course he understood Mr. Grant had no objection to on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Elliott observed that, as the amount of defalca tion was so enormous, he did not think he should be jus tified in accepting bail in a less sum than two sureties of 7001. each, and the prisoner himself in double that sum. Mr. Logie doubted much whether his client could pro cure bail to so large an amount, particularly as he was so far removed from his respectable blends, who resided in the west of England, and principally at Bristol. The prisoner was remanded for a week. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM-HOUSE, OCT. 27.
