(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. Gnza.vits then proceeded to address the jury in de fence of Fletcher. He commenced by adverting to the diffi culties with which the jury had to deal in. a case of so complicated nature as the present, and pointed out that the evidence was not to be considered in the same way as evi dence in ordinary cases, where it applied to only one person orao:one state of circumstances. But here the evidence was Of a most varied nature, part of which could not be consi dered as having any reference whatever to his client; and the parts which did apply he begged them to look upon in the light of evidence affecting a man who, up to the present time, bore an irreproachable character. The prosecution, he admitted, was most fairly and candidly opened, but he begged the jury not to allow themselves to be swayed too much by that opening, for men were really likely to suffer themselves to be carried away by that which appeared fair, open, and candid. He contended, notwithstanding the observa tions of the Learned Attorney-General, that the ends of justice would be best obtained 'by a separate trial. His Learned Friend, in opening the case, had said it was an indictment for forging a bond, but had abstained from stating w h y he thought it forgery. The Learned Gentleman then defined what he considered forgery, and proceeded to argue that his client was not liable to any charge of the nature of forgery. It was quite a fallacy to hold this in the light of a pro- seoution for. forgery of a bond, when it was clearly a prosecution for ()Veining money from the Ftinds• under false pretence& The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address himself to the evidence adduced for the prosecution, and contended that the evidence which had been brought to prove that John Stewart was a native of Scotland had failed, and 'there was nothing adduced which shntild lead to the belief that John Stewart Was not borwrin Marylebone. There had been no such direct and plain evi dence - of his being a native of Scotland as wa= in: the •:power of the prosecution to give by .show ing( that his accent was that of a Scotchman. With, respect to the part of the evidence referring to the lady named Stewart, ne submitted that there was no proof 'whatever of his client ever having known that lady, save by the name of Stewart. Letters came to her in that name, and,: his client had no ' other means than they furnished of ascertaining her name. The evidence of Hartwell was conclusive in this respect, and he submitted that this was a most important considera fibs_ in favour of his client. The Learned Gentleman dwelt at'considerable length on this part of the subject, and con cluded that the -evidence in this part of the case must be cnnstrued in a favourable light to his client. One of the charges which had chiefly been brought by the prosecution to fasten on his client was, his having incited and stimu lated, the old lady to commit the forgery of the bond. It was a strange thing to charge a man with inciting another to - forge. a bond, when there was no proof whatever that lie thought such a bond necessary at all. Why should he make the Woman forge the bond, when.he did not consider such a bend requisite ? Besides, there was no proof, he submitted, that his client had; incited the old lady to commit the alleged forgery ; at least there was not enough of evidence to warrant the jury in coming, - to the conclusion that Fletcher wa. aiv accessory Before therfact of the forgery, for that was the. charge brought against him, and not that he *as a principal in that alleged crime. As to the question of transfer of Stock. he would not advert to it ; because there was no proof that his client had been to the Bank on such business. But with respect to the conversion of the notes into gold by Fletcher. his having openly put Mrs. Stewart's name upon them showed that - he was not conscious of any guilt in the transaction. After dwelling at some further length on the minor points t the evidence. the Learned Gentleman concluded-by request ing the jury, if they had any doubts whatever on the ques tion of the guilt of his client, to give him the benefit of those dotibte,..and by assuring the Court and jury, that he left the case in their hands, with the most unbounded confidence in their sense of justice, in, whatever decision they might come to. Mr. E. JAMES then proceeded to address the jury for Mrs. Dorey. He asked them, looking at the confession which his client had made, whether that document showed a guilty Nrticipation in the subject -matter of the present charge. The criminal law of the land was clear on the subject, and it was also compatible with - common sense, and with natural justice- ft was not only necessary to prove participa tion in the crime charged, but also participation in it, with felonious and guilty knowledge at the time that the crime charged.was intended to be committed. That wa, the law of the land on the subject, and as such .it was laid down in a recent case by Mr. Justice Patteson, in the clearest terms. He alluded to the case of the Queen v. Crew, 8 Carrington and Payne, 541,. where the party ac oused was criminal ; but a s it was no t proved that he had a guilty knowledge of the intention to commit the crime at the time, Mr. Justice Patteson decided that guilty participation was not proved. There WAS therefore the highest authority for his position, that guilty participation could not be proved unless guilty and felonious knowledge of the intended crime at the time was also proved It Was necessary, therefore, to look at the precise part which his client had taken in the matter. (The trial, was proceeding when we went to press.) SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TM? MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIMES. --If there ever was a judicial appointment which might have been expected to pass as of course, and against which nut a voice,_even of the most furious par tisan, could have been raised, we should have pronounced it 10brtnight ago to be that of Sir Frederick Pollock to the vacant Chief BarOny of the Exchequer. An At tortiey-Genetai is appointed upon the clear, though tacit tinderstaoding, that unless circumstances arise during his iture - of office which betray his manifest unfitness for Itni,tation of a chief Judge, he shall be promoted to that traitW bit the first opportunity. It often happens that the leading . advocate of the day, whose services the Go vernment have found it necessary to secure as Attorney . General, from the bent of his mind or the keenness of hie polities, ia, or is thought to be, peculiarly unfitted for judicial employment. He has, nevertheless, been al ways appointed. On the present occasion no such diffi culty exists. In legal knowledge, in temper, discretion, %rid integrity, Sir F. Pollock is eminently—nay, com pared with many law officers of the Crown, perhaps un usually, fitted for the office of judge ; and his uniform conduct in the obnoxious office which he has occupied • durieg a somea hat trying crisis will be acknowledged to . fu;nish no ordinary guarantee against the partisanship 'which is sometimes to be feared from a promoted At t4)rney-General. A Wbig Contemporary, has been _pleased, with a creditable desire of making mis chief if possible, to discover the extreme impolicy and impropriety of not conferring the vacant appointment on one of the exi s ti ng piisne judges, and has paid Ba ron Parke —of whom, in his judicial capacity, it is impossible tO speak too highly—the compliment of selecting him as .4person foolish enough to take offence, if the ordinary rules of promotion are not suspended in his favour. /cow, th e immediate practical question appears to us to lie fist a nutshell. It is necessary for the public service ;that tbe. office of Attorne -General should be ably tilled. .Thin ha's to be pai4 for; and Y part of the payment is the Iwiereleu of the great le al offices. The prospect 01 those enables the Crown to g command, as it ought to do, the services of tho great lawyers of the day. The prospect of these is their inducement to incur the risk and the sacrifice which aro often consequent on the ac ceptance of this (Ace. There is no doubt that Sir F. Pclleek, upon this understanding —not indeed reduced to writing, signed or sealed, but distinctly recognised , both , by the Minister who nominated him and the pro fession from which he was chosen—vlid actually sacrifice ii - reat part of his income arisin g from circuit practice in .the interval between his resignation of Offic e in 18:35 an'l the accession of the present Ministers to power. In honour and equity, though not in law, the case is simply - tme of contract. Tho Attorney-General has performed , his en , agernent to the public—it now rests with the public to perform theirs to him. Any attempt to eva d e . its performance on the plea of a supposed in conven i ence n o f the contracting parties would b e mere fraud.: -7' ' The bargain, if it was a bad one, should have protested when it was concluded; it is too -Alit.? to complaina4.noli‘rvistt het we are called upon to act upon We are not of those who think that the nation made to be swindled, or that the same care, atten v•tiovi, and economy are not to be required from public as • from private 'errant.. But neither do hwpeecoone through nlsiderthat the nation is privileged to sw ind le. their Government have the capacity of involvingthem- 'ocadv es in ever y s p ec i es o f direct and indirect engagement. e Without such a capacity, the body politic could not e xist ~I fer, a m on th. B y the acts and engagements of their • agent,, th e people must abide ; and among such engage ', meats. musebe reckoned all those various understandings, i tacit or express, by which the public business is carried on. It is not enough to show that the bargain might have been more conveniently, or providently, or advan tageously struck. It has been concluded by authorised parties. Unless fraud or collusion can be shown, it is kifinding, stud we must perform it in the shape in which • o u r telpresentatives have fixed it upon upon us. Sir F. . Pollak is likely to snake a very good Chief Baron, and itis'tbere fore factious as well as disilOnett to oppose his -•• o s evation to that office. But were his qualifications far satisfactory than they are, it woul d still be:•e-ne of thosemanymin where publiC lionbbisLotild require ,jitifilo.,lB4.47iilW of public t.# privrae. iateruw i . .1 44u. rhile, however, it Asst not be forgotte that the que 6- tion whet/7, - r this is a good mode of paying Attor ney-o ,enerals is still an open one ; and here we are in clined to agree with our Contemporary that it is not. The understanding unquestisnably exists, and, existing, should be observed ; but we are quite ready to believe that it is a mischievous understanding, and should be avoided for the future. Very different requisites are necessary for an Attorney-General and a Chief Justice. The fluency, plausibility, and resource—the ability to concentrate attention on an adversary's weak point, and to divert it from his own—nay, the very zealous and earnest energy which gave lustre to the advocate, may be worse than useless on the bench. And it is notorious, in fact, that the most skilful counsel do not make the most eminent judges. This single fact is almost suf ficient argument against the continuance of a practice which confines the Chief Judgeships to those whose position at the head of the bar has compelled the Ministry to select them for the office of Attorney-General. We perceive, however, in the columns of a Ministerial Con temporary, a sentence which, if it is to be taken as an exponent of Ministerial principles, furnishes a still stronger argument against perpetuating this connexion. Our Contemporary, not content with predicting the speedy elevation of Mr. Kelly into the place of Sir W. Follett, proceeds, somewhat prematurely, to speculate on the event of Mr. Kelly's second promotion or demise : " Mr. Stuart Wortley," says our Contemporary, "is not an unlikely successor to Mr. Kelly, pi rovided the latter remain in office long enough to enable Mr. Wortley to acquire sufficient length of standing in the profession to warrant his elevation to so distinguished and responsi ble a station. As the son of Lord Wharncliffe, and also as an able and eloquent advocate, and possessed of rapidly increasing legal - know ledge, and ono of the most rising leaders on the Northern Circuit, he has undoubtedly strong claims." Now this paragraph looks very much like a clumsy at tempt to prepare the public mind for a job. We mean no disrespect to Mr. Stuart Wortley, but what are his qualifications? We gather from his panegyrist's ac count, that his " standing in his profession" is insuffi cient—that his legal knowledge can only be said to be " rapidly increasing"—and that he is not the leader of his circuit. He is also called "an able and eloquent advocate"—words, of course, of which he may share the credit with many others of his brethren. These are merits of an ambiguous kind, and can hardly be consi dered to constitute "undoubtedly strong claims" upon an office which, according to present practice, is to lead almost directly to the highest position on tke Bench. But the Government paper enumerates one other clear, definite, and tangible claim which he possesses on the patronage of the Ministry, "as the son of Lord Wham cliffe." Is this a fair statement of the principles on which Sir H. Peel proposes to dispense his legal pa tronage? If not, we have nothing to say, except that our Contemporary is as foolish as ever. If it is, we must beg for a speedy extinction of a system of eti quette which will outdo the worst precedents of bad times, in extending to the Bench itself—the citadel, as it ought to be, of British liberties—the most corrupt principles of political patronage. It is bad that a rising young barrister should be appointed Attorney-General, but it is unbearable that he should be promoted to the Chief Justiceship, avowedly because he is the son of a Peer and a Cabinet Minister. is as old, at least, as Aristotle, who, in his "Treatise of Rhetoric," gives precise instructions how to proceed in the case. You can, upon the same evidence, prove the mild man a coward, and the coward a mild man, according to your purpose ; the thief an enter prising fellow, and the enterprising man a thief ; the cheerful man a sensualist, and the sensualist merely a genial person; the patriot an incendiary, and the incendiary a patriot; and so on. This is perfectly well understood by thousands who never read Aristotle, and it is indeed the staple artifice of vulgar journalists and vulgar orators. The improvement in the public revenue, and in the price of the public securities, would seem unpromising subjects fur this kind of mis representation, but they have nevertheless been pressed to serve as proofs of national ruin, and we have little doubt that a like use will be made of the enormous accumulation of gold and silver in the Bank cellars. Waiting for this, we shall at present merely observe that the amount of bullion in hand is a reasonable security against any present dan ger from the Whig-Radical cry, " Go for Gold," should it be raised now as it was raised in 1832. Judging from the state of the markets respectively, we should say that the cry " Go for Three per Cent. Consols," would suggest a demand more difficult to answer. The remaks that we have already offered upon the general proofs of the increased and in creasing capital in the country have, of course, drawn upon us a world of censure from those who are resolved to be discontented with everything, but more especially indignant at everything in which.her Majesty's present Ministers may seem to be aetois." We are consoled under this reproach by observing, however, that our words are changed and our arguments misre presented throughout—the most satisfactory proof that what we did say will not serve the purpose of those who affect to answer. cats of Mrs. Richards, at Falmouth, which, however, i was not received, as it had not been properly compared with the original. Thomas Griffin, a tailor, resided in Oxford-street some years ago. The prisoner, Mrs. Dorey, lived in the same house with her mother, Mrs. Richards. The Saunderses also lived in the same apartments. A child , of Mrs. Richards died there, and the wife of witness assisted to lay out the child. That was the first of his : acquaintance with them. He went afterwards to live in 1 Gilbert-street, and subsequently to No. 34, Duke-street, Grosvenor square. In 1840, Georgians Richards, now Mrs. Dorey, called upon him there. She asked him to go with her to the Stamp-office, to make inquiries respecting some property belonging to a brother of her mother's, who had been dead thirteen or fourteen years, although her mother had been unable to do anything about the property for want of money. , Witness agreed to go with her, but said that he should expect to be paid for his time, She told him it would be necessary for him to sign some papers, and she would call again whew they were ready. At that time she said nothing about Cain berwell. He afterwards received a message, in consequence of which he went to St. Paul's Church-yard, and there met the old lady. She then told him that the property she was going about was left by her mother's brother, who had been a gardener with a gentleman in Berkshire. The old lady was the person whom he had known as Mrs. Richards, the mother of the prisoner Dorey. There was a gentleman with her. She told him that a gentle man named Fletcher was the friend who advanced her the money to recover the property. They then went to the proctor's office. Mr. GRATES objected to the admission of statements made by one prisoner in the absence of the other, who would be affected by the statement. Mr. Baron GURNEY said it would be sufficient to con fine the evidence to facts, without those statements. Examination resumed—On going to the proctor's of fice, he there signed a bond, which was the one now put into his hands. About a fortnight after he received another message, in consequence of which he went again to St. Paul's Churchyard, where he met the old lady, accom panied by the prisoner Fletcher. She said she wanted witnesses to complete the business. They then went to the proctor's again, and when they had been in the outer offiee some time, a gentleman came in; whom Mrs. Richards described as her solicitor. That gen tleman was the prisoner Barber. The latter went into the inner office with Mr. Putt. Witness went into the inner office afterwards, and put his name to a paper.—(The paper was here presented to the wit ness, and recognised by him.) He was sworn to the truth of that paper. After ho had signed the paper, and sworn to it, he received a sovereign from the old lady, and a shilling to ride home. In six months afterwards he received a letter, inclosing another one, which was ad dressed to Mrs. Dorey. Barber was not present when Mrs. Richards said he was her solicitor. the letter he had just spoken of was from the Stamp-office. He did not do anything inconsequence of that letter. But he afterwards received a second and then a third letter, in consequence of which ho went to Mr. Putt. He then went to look for Fletcher. In consequence of what he heard at Bar ber's he went to 14, Southampton•terrace, Camberwell, but he did not find either Fletcher or Mrs. Richards. Subsequently Mrs. Dorey called upon him to ask for the letter he had received from the Stamp-office, respecting her uncle's property. He expressed great disappoint ment that they had not paid the stamp duties, for which he was answerable. She told him where sh•‘lived, in Dean-streeto Soho ; and said that she would take care he - should have no more trouble about it. He afterwards received another letter from the Stamp office, which he took first to Dean•street, . and then to 45, Oxford-street, where Mrs - . Dorey was then living, hiving recently been married. Mrs. Dorey requested him to take the letter to the solicitor, Mr. 13arbr, who told him that he had been - to the Stamp (Ace about the duty being paid, and that witness should hear no 'more about it. 1 - Vitness had net since received any further communication from the Stamp-office. Got more money for what he had done. The COURT—How much? Witness-101. from Mrs. Dorey. The paper now put into his hand was read over to him, in Mr. Pott's office, before he swore to it at the Prerogative-office. Mr. CLartxsoN—Was the affidavit which ynu swore to on that occasion true or false ? Witness—l de not know that the whole of it was read over to we. Mr. CL i IEXSON—Did you know 'these people as long as you swore you did ? Witness—l did not. Mr. GRAVES—Do you swear that the whole of the affidavit was not read over to-you by Mr. Pott's clerk Witness—l do not think - t would have sworn to it, un less it had been. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Landon New Price Current of April 12.) SUGAR.-The market has still an improving appear ance for all descriptions of Sugar admissible for home consumption. Importers have refrained from pressing any kind for sale, and an increased desire has been mani fested on the part of the trade to do business. To-day there was not a public sale of raw Sugar ; a strong de sire was shown by grocers and refiners to parchase West India, and rather higher rates paid, but the scanty supply at market operated materially against business : some of the merchants have withdrawn their samples from the market. The advance in prices for the week, Is 6d for brown, and is per cwt for yellow sorts.

This afternoon the demand was limited for Ceylon, asd 58s to 59s per cwt is the nearest value of good ord.

Mr. GRAvzs—Did you not know you were sworn to the truth of the affidavit, and do you mean to say that ygu . took you;r eath . to the truth of the contents of that affidavit without knowing what they were? • Witness— I believe I did. . Mr. GRA.vEs—Do you not know you did? Witness— I did, but I thought it was only a matter of form to com plete what had been done before. Mr. GRAVES--Do you believe in a future state of rewards and punishments?—No answer. To Mr. Pimix (for Mrs. Dorey)—Had been intimate with the Richardses from the time they lived in Oxford street in the same house. Had often heard them say that property belonging to them had been lost. Miss Richards Was very obedient to her mother. [The wit ness was frequently reproved by the Bench for the indis tinct manner in which he gave his evidence.] Mr. Genn was recalled to prove the marriage certifi cate of Thomas Richards and Susannah Crene, at Fal mouth, in 1785, and also - the certificate of baptism of Georgians Richards, on the 23d April, 1802. Mr. Frederick William Putt examined by the Arron- NEY-GENERAL—Is a proctor in Doctors'-commons. 'rho business in respect to the will in question was tran sacted with his clerk, Mr. ICgene. To Mr. GRAVES—Did not read over the affidavit, or the draft of it, to the last witness, Griffin, but heard it read over to him. Witness, with his clerk, examined the a ffi davit with the draft. To Mr. WILKINS—Before Barber came to the office, all the prelimlifitry„part of the business had been com pleted, and an affidavit, which witness thought would have been sufficient, had been prepared. Witness saw Mr. Barber but once in the transaction, and considered his conduct strictly professiOnal. He recollected that some certificates of marriage and baptism were filed with the affidavits. To the ATTORNEY - GENERAL—The affidavits were, react several times, for the purpose of comparing the affi davit with the draft , and also to make it clear to the going to swear. He could not were e iod how r im y ti mes it was rea d. parties sily aat this t h what r m t h o t; 3 0 , He would nut be precise at this remote period. It was an ordinary transaction, so long back as 1840 ; but it was an invariable practice to _read the affidavits to the parties, and in this case more than usual care had been taken, as one affidavit had been sent back by the re gistrar two or three times. To the COURT —Mr. Barber came to witness in conse quence of the difficulty of getting the affidavit passed. Edward Parker Wolfe had been acting as solicitor fur Mrs. Dorey. At her desire he transmitted the state ment now placed in his hand to Mr. Freshtield, the so licitor for the prosecution. The ATToRNET-GENERAL said that there were ports of the statement which related to cases not now before the Court, and he thought it was desirable to read only those parts which related to the present case. The Confer thought that, it would be best for the pro secution to read those parts which they thought appli , cable, and if the prisoners thought fit they could have any other parts read. The jury, however, would bear in mind that they should not reoeive as evidence against the other prisoners anything that was said by one of them in the absence of the others. The following statement by Mrs. Dorey was read by the Clerk : " It is now about 14 or 15 years since I first became acquainted with the prisoner Fletcher, who was then living in the London-road, and practising as .a surgeon, having a chemist's shop there. I was then residing in Portland-street. I cannot speak with certainty of age; to the best of my belief I was about 18 or 20. Both Fletcher and his wife expressed a great partiality for me, and I became a frequent visitor at their house. They introduced me to a Mr. Stokes, and represented him as a gentleman holding a situation in the Bank of England. Some time after my intimacy at Fletcher's, he and Stokes solicited me to: go to the Bank; they said if I would only sign my name and address for them, as a bondswornan, they would, and did, give me 501. I wrote more than signing my name, and went to the Back, I think, more than once with them, and to the Commons. I did not understand the matter at all. Fletcher and Stokes took the money in their possession that was paid at the Bank, and afterwards went to an inn with .a Mr. Pizely (or Pizey), Mrs. Fletcher, and myself. After a long conversation between Fletcher, Stokes, and Pizely, the latter left us. We then got into a coach, and returned to Fletcher's residence in the London-road. I gave the money I received from them- to my mother. I was at the time living with her, my sister and her husband, Mr. Sanders. Neither of them _kne.w that I had any money at all given to me by Fletcher. I _remained on terms of friendship with Fletcher for some time. I cannot speak of dates with any certainty ; but I know it continued up to the Christmas following the trial. Mr. Fletcher in duced me to enter against Mr. Tayl or for breach of pro mise of marriage. Sometime previo usl y to the trial my daily avocations called me frem home. On my return, after exchanging visits with them, Mr. and Mrs. Flet cher said to my mother and myself they could do much better for us than my being in the Pantheon. On our inquiring how, they said Mr. Fletcher had a friend in the Bank of England that, enabled him to get money, and he could get some for us. We again asked in what manner ; but they did not explain beyond Mr. Fletcher observing to my mother, that if she would place herself under his instruction and direction, he would do well for her, and asked her it' she would do as he wished in every thing. She said she would, after Fletcher saying he would guarantee that she should do nothing but what was right. After this, Fletcher explained what he meant by saying that there were many sums of money in the Bank of England without any claimants, and which were in the hands of the Commissioners ; and, as there were no relations left to claim them, they belonged as much to the public as to them (the Commissioners) ; therefore he would represent her as a relation to some person deceased, who had left money unclaimed, and one of the clerks who stood high in the Bank of England would supply him with all the information requisite iiseke the money. Fletcher then mentioned the name eirinewart, and said that a man of that name had been dead some years, and left a sum of money which, by my mother being represented as Stewart's relative, could be, easily obtained, but that she must place herself entirely under hiS direction, and leave her home for a short time, and go to a lodging which he would prepare for her. My mother assented,and promised to do as Fletcher directed. He asked if I knew any friend that would take care of any letters that might come through the post directed 'to a Air. Jones. I mentioned Miss Hawkes, and afterwards asked her if she would take care of such letters if directed to bar care. Sher said ohs would, and the letter (Qr leg) Win bmiglit to fits TIIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL .. 14, _1844. Mr. William Christmas, a clerk in the Bank of Eng land, had facilities of knoWing the particulars relating to unclaimed dividends. Had conversations on the subject with Fletcher. Unfortuately did communicate to the prisoner the particulars of the case of Stewart's stock. Received 50L or 1001. from Fletcher, after the stock was drawn out. Cross-examined—Knew it was against his duty to give the information-to the prisoner. Did not communi cate to the solicitor of the Bsnk that he had done so , until after Fletcher Was in custody. The Lord M. 41 by 111 ins Lam . .ayor (examine , Jy _. CLARKSON) said that there was not the slightes, truth in the statement, that he had attempted to extract any acknowledgment from the prisoner Dorey. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. GRAVES said that it was now his duty to show that there was no forgery. It was not a forgery in the meaning of the statute, nor in the meaning of the indictment. It was not set forth in what way the bond was forged, but alleged g.nerally that it was so, and they were therefore bound to prove that the whole was'forged. According to the statute, in order that the document should be considered a forgery, it must be invalid ; bat, in fact, this was a valid instru• ment as against two , of the parties, Fletcher and Griffin. Mr. Baron GiJRNEY—IS that all you have to say on the point ? Mr. GRAVES—There were other objections, to which he would advert at another time. The Comr—You had better go on now. Mr. GRAVES would then submit that the intention of fraud was too remote, as fur as the Tre , esury and the Bank were concerned, to bear out the indictment of an intention to defraud either . of these bodies. There was no such proximate intention as was necessary to be proved in order to sustain the present prosecution. There were no cases reported -which. were comuletely analog.eus to this, but he submitted that there would be nu doubt upon the law of the matter,- that the intention to defraud the parties named in the indictment must be immediate. Mr. BALLANTINE briefly followed on the game side. Thu CotTicr, without calling on the Attorney-General, decided against the objections. Mr. CRAVES said that he wished now to menticw., before his friend, Mr. Wilkins, left the Court. that he intended to claim his right to address the jury fur the defendant Fletcher, in theyorder in which he stood in the indictment. Mr. WILKINs apprefientled that, as the senior counsel, he was entitled to ba heart first. After a desultory conven.ation, the Court were of opi nion that the cases for the prisoners should be taken in the order in which they stood in the indictment, without regard to the seniority Of the counsel. The Court then adjourned till ten o'clock this day. "' POLICE INTELLIGENCE, (YESTERDAY.) MAR YLEBONE. James Ryan, an Irish labourer, was placed before Mr. Long, for re-examination, on a charge of having violently assaulted Edward Smith, a policeman in the D division. The complainant, who has been confined in the hospital since the assault, was supported into Court, and his appearance exhibited the degree of brutal violence to which he had been subjected. Mr. Long told him to be seated at the clerk's desk, and oh being sworn he fainted, but after some little time he was enabled to give his evidence. He stated that on Tuesday last he was on duty in Gloucester-square, and separated the prisoner and another Irishman, who were proceeding to fight. The two men, followed by a crowd of persons, then went into the mews, and he followed. The prisoner was standing among the crowd, and said " Here comes the blue b-, let's down him." Many persons said, " Let the young man alone, ha did but his duty " The prisoner rushed out from among the others, and struck him a tremendous blow with his fist upon the forehead. lie did not think it prudent to take him into custody at that moment, but meeting soon afterwards a brother constable, they returned, and he then took the prisoner into custody. The mob im mediately rescued him. Witness took him into cus tody twice that same evening, and twice he was re leased, the last time successfully. Witness was re peatedly thrown down, and while so kicked over the eye and on the head till he was in a state of stupor. The finishing blow was given by a person (not the prisoner), who struck him over the head with a hod, and left him senseless. lie did not recover conscious ness until under the hands of the surgeon. (The poor fellow was left senseless upon a heap of rubbish, his companions having been obliged to retreat, and he was found in the same state, when, on their being reinforced, they came back some time after, and took him on a stretcher to the surgeon's.) Several witnesses corroborated the fact of the pri soner having been among the rioters. An attempt was made on his part to prove an alibi, but unsuccessfully. Mr. LONG sent him, without fine, to the House of Correction for a month, the utmost period which the law will allow. EASTER EXCURSIONS.—The number of pasengers on the Eastern Counties Railway, from Easter Ttisday to Wednesday inclusive; was 13,454, of which 5,439 tra velled into the country, and 8,015 up to town. (hi this, as on the Brighton and Dover lines, the greater propor tion of traffic was up to the metropolis. The excursion tickets issued on the Brighton line, from Monday to Wednesday inclusive, was 5,720, and on Easter Monday and Tuesday, to Dover, 1,270.

GLOBE.—If the Tory press be a type of the Tory party, there exists at the present moment pretty con siderable commotion in its ranks. Lord Abinger's death having caused a vacancy in the Chiefship of the Court of Exchequer, the changes in the official positions of the law advisers of the Crown has placed the post of Solicitor-General at the disposal of the Government. The door of promotion being thus opened, every Tory lawyer who has managed to get into the House of Commons is pressing his claims upon the Minister; and every imaginable and - far fetched reason is adduced by the journal of the party which adopts one or other of the expectants to show how much more strong are his claims to the distinction than those of his competitors. Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Thesiger, the Hon. J. S. Wortley, and Mr. Godson, has each his backer in the Tory press, and, of course, his supporters among the Tory party. The Government can make but one of these Hon. acd Learned Gentlemen Solicitor-General ; and, of course, three of them must remain as they are. We know net how many more there may be who think themselves supremely qualified for the post, and whose merits ought therefore to be perceived and rewarded by the Minister. That the heart-burnings and resent ments consequent upon disappointment will be nume rous and pungent, there can be no doubt. To render the path somewhat more smooth to one or other of these aspirants to the vacant post, some very ingenious expe dients have been devised. Among others it has been suggested that the chiefship of the Exchequer should be conferred on one of the puisne Barons, and thus post pone, or wholly set aside, Sir F. Pollock's claim, esta blished by prescription, to the vacant Chief Judgeship. To this very ingenious mode of getting rid of the difficulty, we think strong objections exist. We admit the excellent qualities which two of the Learned Puisne Barons of the Exchequer Court have displayed in their judicial functions. It would be difficult to name two judges whose conduct on the bench—whether administering the justice of the country in the civil or criminal courts—has so eminently entitled them to the confidence of the profession and to the gratitude of their country, as Mr. Baron Parke and Mr. Baron Rolfe have exemplified. There is, however, this strong objection to raising the Puisne Judges to the Chiefship ; it would subject them to the suspicion of being actuated—in Crown cases, and especially when presiding at trials for political offences—by a leaning to the prosecution, for the purpose of recommending them selves to the Ministry of the day for promotion. Thus the independence of the Judges would be endangered. However destitute of reason, a party cry would be raised against the conduct of the Judges, in cases which in volved party feeling. The majesty of the law, and its salutary influence upon the minds and conduct of the community, would be diminished. By being suspected of political bias in cases in which the prerogatives of the Crown were brought into collision with real or imaginary popular rights, the Judges would be de prived of their now universally-conceded respect, and justice would be divested of a part of its terrors. Thus society would lose a portion of the protection which is essential to its safety. By exposing their impartiality to peril, by agitating them with hopes of advancement to superior office from the fa vour of the Government, the independence of the Judges would be shaken - in popular opinion. l'reserve the .Judges from all inducement to please the Government of the day by the slightest relaxation of, or deviation from, the rigid claims of justice, and their office will be respected by the nation. Leave the Judges anything to hope or tear from the Ministry of the day, and immediately they are brought down to a level with the influences which ope• rate upon men in the ordinary walks of 'life, and their high office is in danger of perversion to the political de signs of Ministers, instead of its functions being kept sa cred from their approach. 'Of Sir F. Pollock's fitness to succeed to the office of Lord Chief Baron, we have already expressed a favourable opinion. No Attorney- General of his party ever showed himself so little dis posed to use the prerogatives of his office with severity Is he has done. The very defects which have mili tated against his acquiring the same extent of popula rity, as an advocate, to which some of his Contempora ries have attained, will render him better suited to the duties of the Bench. Perhaps it will hold good, as a general rule, that a barrister who has had an extensive practice at nisi Arius—a practice which is obtained and preserved by eloquence and tact in addressing juries—has generally failed to sustain the judicial office with the same efficiency as men of less celebrity. The man of fewest words is generally the man of closest thought ; while eloquence at the bar has, in many instances, degenerated into garrulity on the* bench. Sir William Follett's state of health is, we regret to state, most fearfully impaired. We were the first to make the announcement, which we did a few days since in an article "On the Parliamen tary Elections consequent upon Lord Abinger's death." The grounds which then existed for the apprehensions we expressed are by no means diminished. It is, there fore, highly probable that a positive prohibition will be im posed upon him by his medical advisers, against his at tempting any professional exertions for a considerable time to come. This may prevent his obtaining the Attorney-Generalship ; and induce the Government to substitute some other learned gentleman of their party, whose physical powers are more equal to the constant official and Parliamentary duties which the principal law officer of the Crown is called upon to perform. kir. F. Kelly's direct implication in the memorable ' lpswich election, for which his agents were committed to Newgate by the Speaker's warrants, and he, with his colleague, unseated, is now revived. There was, •loubtleas, much to condemn in that transaction. Most bitterly has Mr. Kelly deplored his having entangled himself in the meshes of that net of corruption which the Ipswich Tories have invariably spread at every contested election, and in which they have caught ma ny. Once entangled in the toils, it was difficult to get extricated. Mr. Kelly became the victim of the system, since considerably checked by the new election , laws. In fair party fight we would still encounter Mr. Kelly with the same uncompromising hostility with ..which we have encountered him. But we , will not join in an attempt to place a ban upon any mans professional hopes, for an offence committed long since in the heat of a contested Parliamentary election—in which, though the bribery was rank, it was sanctioned by . a too prevail ing practice, since happily checked by legislative enact ment. Mr. Kelly is a sound lawyer and an able advocate, As a Tory must be appointed to the vacant post, we would pay homage at the shrine of theacknowledged professional attainments, and persevering industry, for which Mr. Kelly is distinguished. We think Mr. Keny is immea • iurably sup er i or to those whose pretensions are put fort h to 4 1 io e P n u s ; u sh b a j n e a d c si t d . e have h A is.We have said so on a former seenocca fte r all,. reason seri tous illnesschg f o our Sir William vi e o ' n F Alett may a l ter the the relat' e positions of the rival • claimants ; and th us materially change the controversy 1 1 which has sTAN p a A r i e D n o T n h " e t h e G ri a n z e e s t to n t o . f last night states that the amount of b u lli on i n the Bank of England on the 30th of last month amounted to the large of six teen millions, three hundred and twenty-twouTho pounds sterling.

Consols are half per cent, above par. Sixteen millions three hundred and twenty-two thousand pounds in gold and silver in the cellars of the Bank of England ! Such, in brief, is the compte rendit of Sir Robert Peel's thirty-one months' administration of the financial affairs of the country, which, on pass ing into his hands, presented nothing but a bot tomless deficiency. The public will, we are sure, pronounce justly upon the merit or demerit of thi change, and upon the degree of gratitude or o resentment due to its author—but let no man expect perfect unanimity. :The discovery that every ixtoot has - two aces, which may Do pre- ---- . .. THE WILLS FORGERIES. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) On the re-assembling of the Court, the first witness called was John Hadling, examined by Sir J. BATI-tr —I am 71 years of age. I live in the parish of Crichton, in the county of Edinburgh. I knew John Stewart. I knew him all my life. He was a gardener, and worked with Mr. Peterson. He worked with him many years. Pat erson had three sons, John, William, and James. I knew John Paterson, the son, first, when he was about fourteen years of age. He went into the west country to some nobleman's house. He was a gardener. John Stewart went from Crichton to Phantasie, and, lived with Mr. Rennie. I never hoard John Stewart mention any family that ho had. Cross-examined by Mr. GRAVES--Stewart is a common name in Scotland. I never knew but one John Stewart. I never saw him at Phantasie. I never saw J. Paterson, the sOn, aftei he left Crichton. Re-examined by Sir Joule BATLEY—It was about 50 years ago that John Stewart left Crichton. John Withersperne, examined by Mr. BODHIN—I re sided at Kigdore in Scotland. I know the last witness. I lived once at Phantasie, in Preston Kirk. That was .52 years ago. I knew a John Stewart living there with Mr. Rennie, in the same service that I was in. He lived there a twelvemonth. Phantasie is 18 miles from Crich ton. Stewart was at Phantasie when I left. He had very few relations that I understood. He said .he had one brother named James. He never spoke about any sister. I was very intimate with him. He went over with me to Haddington, in the road to Crichton, when we went home for our certificates, and we returned to Phantasie the same day. Ido not remember his showing me his certificate. He came to pay me a visit before he left Phantasie. ge left soon after that. I did not see hint start. He was eight years older than I am. My age is seventy-four. He was about thirty when he left Scotland. I have never seen biro since. Joseph Lockhart examined by Mr. CLARKEION— I was formerly a gardener. I reside at Wimbledon.

He came to see his son at Wimbledon, when he worked for this John Stewart. Old Paterson and John Stewart appeared to be acquaintances. I never heard John Ste wart mention his family but once. Ile said he had no relations living that he knew of ; he never had but one brother,; he had gone to the Indies, and had not been heard of for twenty pears, and therefore he supposed that he must be dead. _a never said that he had ever had a sister.
