(No. 12,649.) SPIRIT' OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The present era may be distinguished by immense political improvements, and must, at any rate, be celebrated for great political changes. Not only has the first reformed Parliament within its power and competence the suggestion and execution of measures which former Parliaments possessed, — not only can it alter the laws of the realm, under the ordinary description of national economy, trade, and finance,—not only can it commute tithes in England, and abolish tithes in Ireland,—not only can it review our whole system of taxation, and apportion the burdens of the people more equally to their means of supporting the public revenue, — but it has received a mission to decide on the exis tence or condition of two important national mono polies, which have been protected from Parlia mentary interference by special charters for more than the last twenty years. Our readers will, of course, anticipate us in concluding that we allude to the Bank charter and the charter of the East India Company. In neither of these ewes can we, perhaps, look for great immediate benefits from an entire revolution of system,—in both, perhaps, our hopes are too sanguine to be realized to their full extent ; hut there can be no faith reposed in general principles,—there can be no reliance placed on the soundest maxims of enlight ened policy, if a more genr-ral participation in the benefits of both trades do not lead to a great in crease of our national prosperity, and a considerable addition to the general comforts of the people. We hope that the Minister will not enter into any corn promi-e with the great corporation in Threadneedle street till the nation, as well as the Bank Propiie tors, have had sufficient time to to flee' on the con ditions of the treaty ; and we are pleased to find that the great sister corporation of Leadenhall is not to renew its lease of governing a mighty empire, and of conducting an exclusive trade, as formerly by merely paying a slight fine upiin renewal. hatever importance we attach to the question of the currency in its connection with the privileges of an exclusive corporation of bankers,—whatever we may expect from the modification or abolition of the power of i-suing notes by one sinele joint stock company in the metropo'is—a company which has often abused its tiust, and led the nation to the brink of ruin,—whatever alteration may be effected in its gains or management, if it is to be preserved as the Govern ment agent for pitying the dividend-, and the source of paper issues to the capi'al, we reckon the question of the East India ( barter as far more important than that of the Batik of England. Lord Liverpool, in 1826, told the Bank that exclusive privileges of all kinds were " now our of fashion," and whatever engagement may be made with that corporation, they will at least have no right con ferred upon them to limit the number of partners or to direct the mode of management of other banking establishments. Thus, if Government is not imme diately prepared to take advantage of the immense "take placed in its hands, and to become in future the bank, as it is now the mint of the nation, it will not grant any privilege which may act as a restraint upon i.s oval powers, when such a policy shall be theu g ht advisable. But the charter of the East India Company is not simply a question of trade or of commercial advantage, and its settlement comot be left to the same uncertain contingency. It relates to the sovereignty and government of an immense empire, and to great exclusive commercial privileges only as a means of maintaining the political power of extending the political patronage of the Company. It relates to the appointment of civil servants,—to the command of armies—to the administration of provinces and kingdoms—to the establishment and maintenance of a jud'cial, civil, political, anti financial system fir 100,000,000 of British subjects, differing from us in habits, laws, and language, and removed from us by more titan half the globe. The renewed delega tion of power, in such a case, to an exclusive com pany ought to be a work of great caution, if not of solemn awe. It would be presumptuous in us, in such circumstances, while the scheme of the Go vernment has only just been declared to the Com pany, to pronounce an opinion on its merits ; the inquiry, howevet, into the situation of our Indian empire—into the resources of the Company's domi nions—into their mode of governing their native subjects and English servants, having gone on for the last three years, and the proceedings of the Committee having been printed,—nobody need pre tend ignorance of the result to which it would lead. In its main features the project of Government agrees with the previous demands and expectations of the country. The trade to China is to be thrower open, and colonizition in India is to be allowed under regulations which we trust will be found more liberal in their development than in the outline of the measure. Thus are two points gained for which we have been contending ever since the renewal of the Company's Charter had become a subject of discussion. As the trade of the Company to the continent of India has avowedly been long carried on at a loss, anti as, when deprived of the monopoly of the tea trade, their commercial intercourse with China in their corporate capacity would cease to yield a profit, Geivernmeet deprives them of nothing by stripping them of their commercial character, and securing their present dividend. The proprietors of India stock will still receive their 10i per cent. on their capital till the nation redeems it at par at a remote fixed period ; they will still be able to elect their Directors—the Directors will mill have the disposal of patronage;lodian they will still have the ap pointment of their civil arid m litaty officers, and may think themselves exalted by being relieved from superietending sales of tea, or swearing in su pet cargoes. The following are the chief points of the pro posed change :-- " 1. The China monopoly to cease. "2. The East India Company to retain its political functions. " 3. The Company's assets, commercial and territorial, to be assigned to the Crown, on behalf of the territorial Govern ment of India. " 4. An annuity of 630,000/. to be granted to the Com pany, payable in England half-yearly, to be charged on the territorial revenue of England, not to be redeemable before the 25th of April, option of Parliament, on the payment of 100/ for every 5/. ss. of annuity. " 5. The revenue of India to be chargeable with all the ex penses incurred on account of that country, either at home or abroad. " 6. The new annuitants to retain their character of a joint stock company; the qualification and right of voting to re main as at present. " 7. The number of the Court of Directors to be one-fourth going out, in rotation, every year. " 8. The patronage, civil and military, to remain with the Directors, as at present. • • • • • • • " 10. The Directors to fill tip the vacancies each year ; each Director to appoint in his turn. • • • • • • " 12. Every British subject to have the right of going to, and settling at, either of the Presidencies without license; hut the right of going into, trading, or settling in the interior, to be subject to such restraints and regulations as the local Government might require. " 13. The Board of Control to have the right of altering despatches; and, on the refusal of the Court of Directors to send them out, to have the power of sending out such de spatches themselves. " 14. The appointment of Governors to remain, as at pre sent, with the King. The veto still to continue with the Court of Directors." 'lbis plan has the advantage of creating no very xtensive immediate alters ions, except such as are made in favour of a free trade with China and a free intercourse with India. To the tea trade the Direc ,ors seem to have dreg with the greatest pertoia city, probably us a source of power and patronage LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1833. —but the arguments on which they supported their claim seem to have been singularly absurd or inap plicable. We are ast,Alislted that they should not have seen, that if the); ( paid their dividends at home, and assisted their territorial revenue in India, by the profits of the China trade, these profits (the fruits of monopoly) were a tax levied on th e English public. When they say, therefore, that they have discharged 17,000,0001. of Indian debt by the proceeds of the tea trade, they declare, in other words, that, losing on all hands abroad, they have only maintained their power by plundering their fellow-countrymen at home. If the Company were to try a single year of a traffic to Canton in competition with new rivals, who may be expected immediately to arise, it would be ascertained be yond dispute, that their profits were only an impost on England, levied by a monopoly at the India house. In the B 11which is to renew the Company's charter, and to define their diminished rights, we, of course, expect great improvements in the judicial and administrative government of our immense o iental empire; but that was not a subje‘it on which to consult the Gout t of India Proprietors. We shall recur to this subject.— Times. fence was unsuccessful; the sentence passed on him was confirmed, and death has relieved him from the heavy punishment that he would have had to endure. The account of the union of Bavaria, Wirtemherg. and Prussia, in one tariff of import and export duties, makes a great sensation here. It is said that the high duties ins. posed by the Prussian tariff are to be modified in some instances. If that is the case, the friends of a general union in one system, of whom there are many in our city, will become more numerous. Tne prices of corn continue to fall, and nobody ven tures to spectilwe.- -Nurenburg Correspondent, March 18. THE POLISH EMIGRANTS-(THIS DAY.) A highly respectable and numerous meeting, among whom were many fashionably dressed ladies, was held this day at the Free Masons'-hall. Besides several members of the British Legislature there was a number of distinguished natives of Po land at the meeting, among them were the following :—Nie merviez, Senator, Castellan, poet, Director of the Chancery of the Polish Diet; Turr, Chancellor of the Polish Diet; Captain Korgtko ; Lieutenant Restzenheim ; Medzwecki, Kozaneiki, Kuizyncski, officers ; Dr. Lack Szyrma, Professor of Philosophy ; M. De la Garde, Chamberlain to the late King Stanislaus ; Prince Lucien Buonaparte, Sir F. Burdett, M P. ; Lord Ebrington, M.P. ; Mr. Cutler Fergusson, M.P. ; Mr. Buckingham, M.P. ; Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P. ; Mr. Camp bell, the poet, Colonel Stanhope, &c. Shortly after one o'clock, some impatience having been ex. pressed by the company assembled, Mr. BUCKINGHAM, M.P., rose and said, that some little delay had taken place in consequence of the non.arrival of their expected Chairman ; however, Sir F. Burdett had been seen within the hour, when he repeated that it was his inten tion to fill the Chair. lie would in the meantime move that. the Chair should be takein pro. tem. by Thomas Campbell, Esq Applause)—so that the business of the meeting might be proceeded with. The motion having been seconded, Mr. CAMPBELL took the Chair amidst much cheering, but at the moment was in formed that Sir F. Burdett was then in the next room, of which he was very glad, as it relieved him from a heavy re sponsibility ; he thanked them for the kind manner in which he had been received. Sir F. BURDETT was then ushered into the chair, accom panied by several Members of Parliament and other gentle. men. He said he took the chair of the present meeting at the request of several highly respectable inhabitants of West. minster. He felt, in common with every Englishman, that the men whom they had met that day to relieve had been dealt with most unjustly, and he hoped to see the day, and that soon, when Poland would be restored to its original state in the scale of nations.—(Hear, hear.) That, however, was not a political meeting, but one convened entirely for a benevolent purpose—for the relief of a most brave and patriotic set of men, whose heads were now bowed down by misfortune, but whose spirit was as noble as ever. It was unfortunate that such an appeal had to be made at the present time, when so much distress existed in our own country; but he hoped that those who had it in their power, would come forward liberally, in order to forward the objects which the meeting had in view. As Chairman, it was not his duty to make a speech, but to act more as a moderator. He would therefore conclude, by in forming the meeting that he had received letters from Messrs. Tynte and G. Evans, who stated that they were serving on an election committee, otherwise they would have attended the meeting with pleasure. He had the satisfaction, however, to state that both letters contained a handsome subscription.— (Applause.) Mr. MERLE, in rising to move the first resolution, said he only came forward with a view to lend what little aid was in his power, to the cause of compassion. The meeting had been told by their chairman that that was not a political meeting, but one merely for the purpose of making an appeal to the hearts of the generous and humane, on behalf of a great number of illustrious men who were now wandering in exile, for the base crime of patriotism—because they fought against their sovereign, he having trampled upon them, spurned them, and having been wont to enslave them. He would put it to every one pre sent, as being a case that might be their own ; he would plac e the q uestion on the broad ground of hu. inanity only, and he called on them to remember that they were all the children of one God, and it was possible that the rich man of to.day might be the beggar of to.morrow. It was impossible to look back at the history of Poland and say that the Poles had not been prudent, or that they had ever been cowardly in the struggle which had been made to free them from a tyrant. They had been scattered over the whole world, but in every place they were the same noble.minded men they had,been at home. lie was proud to say that he had the honour of an acquaintance with some of those illustrious men ; friendship was only their due, for they had fought in a cause that was dear to the heart of every Englishman—the cause of liberty —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He would then appeal to the hearts of those who were ever first in the cause of benevolence—(Cheers) —to that fairer and better portion of the meeting. When he told them that the Prince Czartoryski had in his own country no less an income than 70,0001., that he had lost the whole of that sum—when he told them that he had lost Isis wife by the grief to which she was reduced, and that his children had been shot, one by one, in the field of battle,—when he told them these things, he was sure that even from so humble an instrument of charity as himself, he should not appeal in vain. That was not a political meeting, other. wise he might regret that there was no national fund from which relief might be given to such illustrious men. When they looked at France, they saw 4,000 of the brave Poles, who were fed and clothed by the French Government. The illustrious exiles were to be seen in the palace, and at the table of the French King ; on these accounts, he regretted that it was out of the power of our Ministry to have followed such a good example, for he knew they would have gladly done so.—(Hear.) He trusted, however, that the want of that fund would be amply made up by the British people, who were now entreated, in the name of charity, to come forward liberally, and support the cause of charity in their own country. He would not detain the meeting any longer, knowing as he did, that many more gentlemen had to address them, but Would simply move the first resolution. I. That the Polish patriots who have bled and suffered in their unfortunate struggle for freedom have deserved the admi ration and sympathy of mankind, by their heroism and devotion la the cause of their country ; and that in the present melan choly crisis of its affairs we cannot forget that Poland, so re nowned in History, has a peculiar claim on our gratitude and active a sistance, as having long stood the bulwark of Christia nity and of European civilization. The Rev. JOSEPH BEAUMONT rose to second the re solution, which he did on the ground of Christianity, and to uphold the interests of those unfortunate—indeed unfortuate he ought not to call them, but—those afflicted individuals, the brave Poles.—(Cheers.) In Birmingham had been written A Tear for the Poles," and this meeting was now called upon to shed a tear for those brave men ; if that tear could be analyzed, it would be found not perhaps to consist solely of humanity, but dashed with the fire of liberty.—(Cheers.) He would conclude by exclaiming— " Yes, Britain, yes, my native land, For dauntless heart and liberal hand— Among the nations known, I see thy mighty arm outspread, See thee in nerve, and heart, and head, Make this great cause thy own." The resolution was then put and carried amidst loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN announced that subscriptions had been received from Mr. George Evans, M.P.,201. ; Mr. H. Tynte, 51. ; and Mr. Clarke, 10/.—(Cheers.) Mr. BROWN read an extract of a letter from a lady, resid ing in Merrion-square, Dublin, who expressed the thanks el herself and her sisters at the acceptance of an offer to receive any embroidered work from them for sale on behalf of the Pore h fund, and stated that for that object they had forwarded a quantity of articles..—(Cheers.) Those articles were now on a table in the room, and would be for sale at the conclusion of the busi ness of the meeting ; Miss Thurston would receive the money. He said it was grateful to find female hearts, and in Dublin too, standing forward in such a cause, and he was sure it would stimulate others to go and do likewise.—(Cheers.) Colonel HODGES came forward, and was loudly cheered. His reception appeared to embarrass him, and he was but in. distinctly heard, In rising to propose the second resolution, he could assure the meeting that he felt himself loth to ad. dress them, as he was so unaccustomed to speak in public ; but that the cause itself was of so important a nature, that he was induced to do so. It was unnecessary for him to dwell on its merits, because it had been so eloquently pictured by the gentleman who proposed the first resolution. He had the pleasure of knowing two of the Polish exiles who, sooner than be dependent on the bounty of Great Britain, went out to Portugal. When they arrived there, he asked them what they had to expect by going there, and they replied that they came to struggle for that cause which they had fought for in their own country. —(Lound cheering.) Unfortunately, those two gallant men tell, and thus they were no longer a burden on any country. He was happy to see so many ladies present, for he knew that where they were charity was sure to flow.—(Cheers.) Ile would now read the second resolution. 2. That it becomes Great Britain, as a free and enlightened nation, to sustain its ancient high character as the asylum of the victims of persecution who seals refuge on its shores ' and that to suffer them to perish in neglect would cast an indelible stain on the British name. No such stain was ever yet cast, and never would be cast on Great Britain.—(Cheers.) Mr. FEAIION seconded the resolution, which ha said hail been moved by a gentleman who had deserved well of his country for his support of the same principles in Portugal which they had now met to up h o ld . H e regre tt e d that he had to ad dress them so early, as there were so many distinguished individuals around him who had not yet spoken, par ticularly Lord Ebrington, one of the Members for Devonshire, who he was sure from the high character that Noble Lord had always borne, would be able much better than himself to advocate the cause of unhappy Poland.—(Cheeft) FRENCH PAS ERS. (From the Journal des Debuts of Sunday.) ODESSA. FEe 25 —Otficial news has been received of the arrival of the great Russian fleet at Constantinople. It has boat(' afi at division of 12,000 men, and i 4 commanded by Admiral Li:z,r•ff. A reserve division is assembled in the environs of Odes-a, and ready to be em bat ked.

(From the Journal do COM , nerce.) PARIS, Ms.acit 23.—We do not sty th it the affairs of the Eist are on the point of being concluded, for the an coonts given to-day by the Augsburg Gazette, allow no to fear th it Russia does not show Itself so ready as may have been believed. to yield the ground is has gained by inter feting, with a certain degree of forwardness, in the afftirs of the Sul an, at the moment that neither France nor England had an am.iassailor at Constantinople. But at least we begin to see more clearly how matters stand ; it is pretty ste I acknowledged that, on bia arrival at Con stantinople, Admiral Roussin found tl e Porte closely en gaged with Russia; but ilia on his formal declaration to the Il is Effendi, that it the Russian fleet did nut retire, France and England would give to the Paella of Egypt the support which the Porte asked of the Autocrat, the Reis Effendi requested the Ambassador of Russit to send away the fl et the moment that M. Riussin guaranteed to the Porte an honourable peace, and the immediate sus pension of hostilities. But, in the interval, has the news of the march of the Egyptian troops, on the one hand to Biussa, and on the o•her towards Smyrna. given the Russian Ambassador a reason not to let the fleet quit the position which it had tiken ? Has it received reinforcements? Have troops been !Lode', and has a Russian division, executing previous orders, really passed the Danube? This is announced from different quarters, and there is reason to believe it correct. There we should have the key to the communi cation made ten day+ before yesterday to the Chamber, by Admiral de Rigny, and should not longer be surprised at the orders given to several ships of the line to proceed to the Levant. Let us add that the necessity for the formation of two Tut kish empires, which we have long since pointed out, is now acknowled .ed by the organs of the Cabinet. BREST, MARCH 19 —The Duquesne and Suffren of the line, and the Melpomene frigate, are to sail to-mor row. Some say that they will go direct to Lisbon ; others affirm that they will proceed at once to the Levant, without men, touching at Toulon. Tourost, 'MARCH 18.—The Marengo of the line, which was ready to sail to Algiers with troops, has re ceived counter orders. It is going to the Levant. A small vessel which has arrived from Corfu at Ancona, brings the intelligence that the Freiich had formally de livered up the fortre.ses of the Mores, after which they proceeded to Nearopont, in order to withdraw that island from the power of the Turks. (From the Constitutionntl ) PARIS, Marten 23 —lt will be recollected that the Fi rich Ministry fixed at 24 millions the amount of the claims of the United Sates of North America for vessels seized and sold under the republic. The Government has nor. vet hitherto ventured to present to the Chambers a trea t y so disadvantaiieous to Fiance. But the Governir ent of the United States has taken the Ministers at their word, and it is affirmed that it yesterday caused a bill of exchange for four millions to be present , d tiy M. Rothschild, and that the Treasury caused it to be protested. It is add d that M. Baguenaselt, who bad endorsed it, has paid the amount to M. R .thschild. This is a serious affair, for we much doubt whether the Chamber will ratify in 1833 a treaty which the Government of the restoration never would sign. The .Allgemeine Zeituitg, of the 20th March, contains no further accounts from Turkey. The prices of the funds at Vienna, on the 15th March, were— Five per Cents. Aletalliques, 92 1-16 ; Four per Cents. 82 5.16 ; Bank Shares, 1,2161. GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, MARCH 12.-1 he statement made in some journals of the instructions given to the Assemblies of several provinces by their constituents, to ask for the pub. licati. , n of a constitution, &c., is quite untrue, for of all the electoral assemblies in the whole Prussian monarchy, that of the city of Alunster alone expte•sed a wish for a constitution tor the whole kingdom, which it was not au thorized to do, its powers extending no farther than the busin. as of the e'ections.

Mr. Peacock, the solicitor of that establishment, immedi ately sent to Messrs. Mesterman and Co., bankers, in Lombard -street, at whose house the Glastonbury notes were made payable, apprising them of the numbers and Oates, and requesting that any person by whom they might lie presented should he detained. These precautions led to the appr e h ension o f t h e pr i soner, who, on W e d nes d ay l as t, presented th e f our notes i n quest i on, an d reques t e d sovereigns in payment. The prisoner stated that he had received them in payment for wearing apparel of different d2.criptions, from two men, who said they were about to embark in a vessel then in St. Katharine's Dock, f .r. New South Wales. The prisoner, on being taken to the office of Mr. Peacock, was recognised by him as having been before charged, on three several occrsions, with having stolen notes in his possession, a het which I e did not deny. His house was searched, but nothing was die • covere I. ( PRICE 7D.) He trusted, however, that the meeting would have the pleasu re of hearing that Noble Lord before they separated. It had bee said that they were not to introduce politics ; but he hoped they might be allowed to introduce domestic politics, provided they were not English politics. It was impossible that they could direct their minds to consider of the cause of Poland, without at the same time connecting it deeply with politics, and with those great principles by which nations should be governed.—(Hear, hear.) If ever there was on the face of the earth a nation ill used, or if in the history of man kind there was ever a people in whom there was a greater de gree of energy, zeal, and patriotic devotedness, and at the same time a nation devoted to the loss of every thing in the world save their own honour, that was the Polish nation.—(Cheers.) Therefore, it was a question of national politics.—(Hear.) (We shall give the remainder in our Second Edition.) He was remanded for a week, to give time for inquiries. MARLBOROUGH STREET. On Saturday James Hood was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with having committed a violent assault on his wife on Sunday evening last. The complainant, whose appearance afforded a singular contrast to that of her husband--she being of very lady like deportment, and delicate appearance, and he having the air and manners of a cab-driver, stated, that for the last four or five years she had supported her husband by her indurery, frequently working 19 hours out of tne 24 ; and he, in return, had been accustomed to use violence ►towards her. To her great astonishment and disgust, on last Sunday evening she discovered that her husband bad been for the last seven years carrying on an incestuous in tercourse with her sister, by whom he had several children, and whom he actually had the heartless effrontery to ring to her house, in Duke•street, and to inform her that for the future she must receive her in the house as her com panion. When she remonstrated on this treatment, and attempted to prevent the entrance of the abandoned female, the defendant rushed at her, and struck her a violent blow on the face. " Have you got any mark to show ?" said the de fendant, gruffly, " 'cause when I hits I always leaves a mark." The complainant said the bruise bad gone off, as the blow bad been inflicted a week. Mr. DYER attempted, without apparent success, to con vince the defendant of the heartless nature of his conduct. The defendant merely answered, that he did not strike his wife, but gave her a push, because she refused to admit the woman into Ihe house whom he had introduced to her. He was ordered to find good bail. LAMBETH-STREET. On Saturday Mr. Hamilton, a respectable tobaccanist in Leman-street, Goodman's-fields, was summoned by th officers of Whitechapel to show cause why he should not maintain his daughter-it:law and her three children, which had become chargeable to the parish in consequence of the desertion of her husband, the alleged son of the defendant. Mr. Bodkin, for the defendant, said his client was c.ern pelled, with much reluctance, to offer a defene which. however, could not be answered—the defendant's son was illegitimate, and therefore his wife had EN/ legal claim upon the defendant. An aged female, named Anne Mole, then came forward and said she had lived several years with Mr. Hamilton as his wife, but she had never been marrieJ to him, and his son was illegitimate. In consequence of this defence, the case was dismissed. T HAMES-P 0 LICE. On Saturday the Hon. Lieutenant Keppel, son of the Earl of Albemarle, appeared to answer a charge of assault by Thomas in which the lieut enant Gaffney, a seaman be longingprefe preferred d to againstth c ame home a passenger from the Isle of Franc,.. Gaffney, and two other seamen stated, that on the 13 t h o f D ec ., e ship him Persian, being then on their voyage home, the defendant and Dr. Johnson went from the Persian to visit another vessel ; and the prosecutor and witnesses formed part of the boat's crew. On their return the defendant ordered the crew to lie on their oars. They did so, but the prosecutor, look ing over his shoulder, and seeing the vessel waiting, said, " The ship is aback waiting for us, and if we don't make haste we shall lose our lives, and I don't want to lose mine yet." The defendant instantly rose from his seat, end struck him two severe blows on the face, with his clenched fist. Ttie prosecutor merely said, " Thank you, Sir ;" and hailed the ship. The defendant again struck 1 inn two severe blows, and the prosecutor again said, "Thank you, Sir." He bailed the ship, fearing they might lose her. Lieutenant Keppel said, in his defence, that the com plainant was very mutinous, and refused ro pull when he desired him ; he struck him, fearing his miss induct might lose the boat. The Msgistrate said the assault was admitted, and 1 a should send the case to a jury. The defendant could bring witnesses to prove the mu tiny of the complainant. The case was adjourned to give him time to produce his witnesses.

PIGEON SHOOTING.-TO supply materials for this not very humane sport, almost all the pigeon.cotes in the West Riding of Yorkshire have been plundered by a set of nightly marauders. No sooner is a pigeon match ,'ruck up in Manchester or its neighbourhood, than de-. spatches are sent into the West Riding of York-hire, oriel , . ing a supply of pigeons, as a man would order a bale of woollen cloth, and cart•loads of the victims are forwarded hence by men who make a trade of this species of plunder s —Leeds Mercury.—[The dove-cotes within 20 miles of London are also put under contribuion in the same manner by the thieves who supply pigeons to he shot at by the cockney squibbing clubs in Battersea-fields.)

He trusted, however, that the trustees could see the necessity of coming to terms, and save the inhabitants the expense of adopting other measures.

MOST EXTENsIVE SYSTEMS OF FORGERY. —Yesterday the public crowded into the Justice.room, to hear the examination of a young man, of very fashionable appear ance, named John Byers, for forgery. Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Committee of 134nkers appeared for d) prosecution, and Mr. Flower, of the firm of Harmer and Co.. for the prisoner. Mr. Bu s h stated that the prisoner had said that he was a wine-merchant at B , mlogne. Mr. James chill, clerk to Messrs. Seares and Heath, of No. 233, Strand, deposed that on Mimday, the 4th of March, the prisoner called at their shop, and orderei a draft plate for the Doncaster Bank, according to the fol. lowing order, which the prisoner wrote : " Doncaster Bank. .. At after pay to as advised which place to account of Leatham, Tew, and Co. Messrs. Joseph Denison and Co., Fenchurch-street." The plate was to be ready on the Wednesday evening, but was not ready until Thursday or Friday. The proof was to be sent to the Bull and Mouth Inn to the prisoner, who said his name was Lyons. When the plate was pre pared witness sent it, and 25 impressions of the bill, to the inn. Tice prisoner had called on the previous day, and seemed very impatient for the plate. fie stated that he should want some thousands of copies, and he screwed down the price of the engraving to two guineas. J. Stone, porter to the engravers, saw the prisoner write what he considered to he an order, in the shop. Witness afterwards brought to the prisoner at the Bull and Mouth lon a plate and i 5 impressions, which he re ceived from Mr. Child. The prisoner told him that he should want a thousand impressions to be struck off by Saturday, and desired him to get change of a 101. note. Witness procured the change, and the prisoner banded him a check, saying it was all the same. The check was as follows : " Messrs. Mares, Fleet-street. " Pay L. Bryan, Esq., or bearer, ten pounds. " March 5, te433. " IL B. LYGON. Col." Witness, thinking that all was right, took the check and gave the change. On the following morning he presented the check at the banking•heuse, and was told that it was a forgery. Mr. John Palmer, cashier at Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s, deposed that the house had no account with the person who signed the check, but two Colonels Lygon kept cash there. The writing on the check was not like that of either of those gentlemen. Mr. Thomas Curtis, clerk to Messrs. Denison and Co., deposed that there was such a firm in Doncaster as that of Leathern, Tew, and Co. Witness had seen many of the drafts of the house, and that produced did not resemble them. Here a letter was produced from the bankers at Doncas ter, stating that they looked upon the impression of the plate to be the act of some swindler, whose object was to defraud the engraver, a scheme in which he had succeeded. The LORD MAYOR—I think that the object was one of twofold fraud—to defraud the engraver, and any one who might be induced to negotiate a forgery filled into the blanks in the impressions. It was not meant that the forgeries should be uttered in Doncaster. Jeremiah Schooppe Phillips, of No. 144, Old Bond stree't, seal-engraver, deposed that the prisoner called at his lodise about three weeks ago, and ordered a bill of ex. change plate, which was to be delivered on the Tuesday following, at the Three Cups, in Aldersgate-street. The prisoner stated to him, that it it gave satisfaction, an order should be given for a thousand impressions. A day or two afterwards he called, saw the plate, and asked witness for change of a 101. note, out of which the amount should he paid. Witness had not change, and prisoner told him to bring a hundred proofs in the evening, to the Bull and Mouth Inn, which he (prisoner) had mistaken for the Three Cups Inn, and the amount of the demand should be paid. Witness called accordingly, and saw the prisoner, who took the proofs out of the coffee-room, and on returning said that he (witness) should get his money directly. The waiter, however, entered soon after, and said it was after banking hours, and be could not get change. Prisoner then told witness to call next day and the money should be ready for him. Witness called accordingly, but the prisoner was gone, and had left nothing for him. 'The engraving was for the " Nantwich Bank," and the prisoner called himself " Mr. Lyons." William Evans, waiter at the Bull and Mouth Inn, deposed that the prisoner stopped at the inn about a week, and went by the name of Lyons. Remembered that the last witness • called upon him. Prisoner paid his account at the inn ; but left nothing for Mr. Phillips. Prisoner came to town by the Dover coach. Joseph Horner, a porter at the Bull and Mouth, be lieved the prisoner left the inn on the Friday, by the Dover mail. A negotiated bill of exchange, of which the following is a copy, was then put in : " NANTWICH. " 61S. £52 10s. 6d. At 21 days after date pay to the order of Mr. Richard Clayton, Fifty-two pounds ten shillings and six pence, for value received. " For Mare and Eyton, " To Messrs. Stevenson and Co., " F. W. EITON." Lombard-street. Mr. Bruyeres, a trustee of the Dover banking firm of Monnett and Ca., heard the prisoner was at Dover in disguise, wearing spectacles, and hiding his whiskers ; and that he (prisoner) intended to go over to France on the following day. Witness having had intimation that the prisoner had got the above bill of exchange, which was a forgery, negotiated, pursued and had him appre. henthal ; but nobody could at that time identity him, and witness, who was a Magistrate, was obliged to discharge him. Mr. Flower said that his client was, according to the statement just made, not the guilty individual, and objected to the course of making assertions upon mere hearsay. The LORD Ma von—l shall bear everything upon the subject. It is most import'nt, for the security of the public from plunder of this kinh, that it should be known that there are forgeries in circulation at this moment upon db. " D incaster " and " Nantwich " banks—bills pur porting to be drawn by tke bankers themselves. Mr. B' uyeres had caused to be detained at Dover the lugeage of the prisoner, who had gone there by the name of Bennett. John Forrester, the officer, deposed that he and Roe, the officer, acted upon this occasion, in consequence of instructions which they had received from Mr. Bush. He found that a package had been left at the Sprea a Eagle Inn, for a Mr. Bennett, whom he suspected to he Mr. Lyons. A person named Hordes called for the parcel, and witness asked him where he was taking it to ? Bowles replied that he was taking it to No. 8, Prospect place, Newington. Witness accompanied hits to Prospect-place, but there was no such number there. Rowley then gave him a letter, addressed ta Mrs. By eta, No. 3, Earle's-court, Brompton. Witness went to Earle's-court, and upon going up stairs found the prisoner sitting in a room, and addressed him by the name of Byers. The prisoner answered to the name. Witness said, " I beg your pardon, but you must go with us. You sent your servant to the Spread Eagle for a parcel ?" " No," said the prisoner. " Yes," said witness, " your servant told me so." The prisoner then admitted that he had assumed the name of Bennett, on account 01 pecuniary embarrassments. The prisoner—My Lord, I have been taken by sur prix-. I hope you will give me time . The LORD iIIAYOR—Oh ! most certainly—l never commit any one in a hurry, and you shall be remanded for a week. The prisoner was accordingly sent back to prison. The Loan MAYOR observed, in the course of the in vestigation, that forgeries were most frightfully incre and that Mr. Frestiftehl had the other day stated that i the law substituting transportation for the extreme punish• ment were not in existencc, Coster would never hay, attempted anything of the kind. BOW-STREET. On Saturday a tradesman, carrying on husineta in tl.e Edgeware-road, underwent an examination upon a charge I
