FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The evidence taken against the two individuals who stand charged with extensive for gery and uttering of forged wills, and fraudulent transfer of Bank Stock, will afford proof of the imperfect security afforded to the public by the Registration Act, and also by the practice of the Bank of England officials. With respect to the latter, the proof required as to the identity of persons who present themselves at the Bank as legal representatives of deceased parties, seems to be very slender, and 'the facilities thus afforded to fraud are consequently considerable. We abstain from those references to the evidence adduced against Barberand Fletcher,:by which the inefficiency of the precautions at present em ployed by the Bank of England functionaries is exemplified, lest we should . seem to prejudge the accused. When the trial which awaits them has been had, an opportunity will be afforded for directing attention to the necessity of a revision, with a view to improvenient in the transfer-office of the Bank of England. The evidence of Mr. Jordan, the registrar of births and deaths for the district of Pimlico, is strikingly illustrative of defects in the registration law, and fully confirms the incidental remarks of Mr. Chadwick, in his Report upon the Practice of In terment in Towns, recently published. To that part of the Report, Mr. Clarkson, in the course LONDON JOINT-STACK BANKING of hisaddress to the Lord Mayor on introducing a . .

Now, as to expense, there are already many checks, as the long code of college rules with re ference to hours, company, the indulgence in expensive amusement, which, rigidly enforced — and if not rigidly enforced such rules are worse than useless—would go a great way ; and when these failed we do not see why expense might not be properly treated as a substantive offence, incurring the penalty of removal from the University. If a man will not conform to the habits of a society, after repeated admonitions, we do not see upon what grounds be can affect to complain of his--removal from that society. But it will be said, how are you to ascertain that a man is expensive in his habits . ? The answer is, that the external evidence is generally sufficient; but if it fail, you have the man himself, whom you may examine as to his expenditure. A place . ' of education is, as regards the pupils, properly in quisitorial, and it ought to be vigilantly inquisito rial. The parental authority is communicated to its governors, and we suppose it will not be denied that in a case of doubt a father is en titled and bound to make a strict inquiry into the habits of a son still under his roof. Two or three examples of young men removed from the Universities for " expensiveness," eo noinine, would do much good in render ing expense unpopular. This applies to the pupils who receive too much money from their parents, or have, otherwise, too much money at their own- disposal but it ap plies also to those who squander borrowed money ; for these last an additional guard might be 'found, in an Act, not of the Univer sities, but of the Legislature, barring the reco very of any debt incurred by a young man in state pupillari, whatever his age, nor could money-lenders or tradesmen justly complain of such an act ; to every debt there must be two consenting parties, the creditor and the debtor, but if you want to get rid of the evil, you must address yourself to him of the two who has most power to obviate the mischief, and who is most likely to be acted upon by considerations of rea son and interest—this, every one sees, is the cre ditor in all cases, more especially in cases where the debtor must be an inexperienced youth. STATE or TRADE.—The commercial intelligence from India and China, received by the last overland mail, being generally considered unfavourable, had a prejudi cial effect upon the market yesterday, and manufacturers cf shirtings were willing to accept prices which they gene rally refused last week. Printing cloth, though notlower in price, was less inquired atter, and but little business was done in it. Stout domestics, however, whieh have been for a long time greatly depressed, and of which the manufacture has been somewhat diminished, were in better demand, at prices somewhat higher than those of last week. In the yarn market there was not much business done. The accounts from Germany not being very favourable, and the demand for the east having been supplied, there was little inquiry for reeled yarn, except from the Greek merchants, who are now considerable purchasers of low numbers of water twist. The Liverpool cotton market having also be come a little easier, prices of shipping qualities of yarn were in many cases from *d. to -id, lower than last week. For the home trade, there was no material difference in prices ; but the amount of business done was limited.- 1 Manchester Guardian.

Three boys and an unfortunate woman of the town were brought before the Lord Mayor by M'Arthur, the superin tendent of the " lock• up," at the Nlansion-house. The boys, it was stated, had called at the side door of the Mansion-house, near to which is the window in which so many panes of glass were demolished the day before, and said they wished to speak with the Lord Mayor. APArthur told them his Lordship was engaged on public business of importance and could not see them until the charges were concluded. " Oh, then," cried the boys, " We can't wait, we must see him at once." 111'Arthur told them, if, as he supposed, they wanted relief they must go to " No. 65, Cannon-street, and apply to the relieving officer." " No," replied they, "We won't do so, but we'll smash the rest of the b--y glaze." They were about to put their threat into execution when they were seized and locked up until his Lordship finished the business in which he was occupied at the time. The LORD MAYOR put a few questions to the boys, to which they answered that they did not mean to break the windows, and that all they wanted was to be supported without going to such a place as Peckham workhouse, the accommodations of which they did not by any means relish. M'Arthur said there was no doubt of the intention of the three young vagabonds, who assailed him with the most re volting language. The LORD MAYOR said he should try . to deal with such spirited persons in a manner adapted to their violence, and sen tenced each of them to hard labour for three calendar months, and to be fed not a bit too abundantly. His Lordship expressed his intention to punish, with the utmost severity known to the law, all who should hereafter be brought before him upon proved charges of window breaking—a mode of obtaining pro vision of late very much practised. The wretched woman said she had no resource but Bridewell or the Compter, or rambling in the streets. She could not, she declared, appear in the cold without accepting the worst alms she received from unthinking people, who, instead of giving her a few pence, asked her to drink gin, and the effect of spirits upon her head was next to madness. The LORD MAYOR—You have been lately in Bridewell ? Defendant—l was there but a fortnight ago. I got no spirits there, and I am happy and comfortable there. I wish your Lordship would ask Captain Kincaid, the Governor, whether I do not act as I ought in such a place ; but in the streets the life is dreadful beyond bearing. The defendant, who had evidently been drinking in the course of the morning, then began to cry aloud, and begged hard to be helped out of her present dreldful situation. The Loan MAYOR—I shall send you to Bridewell for fourteen days; you will then become perfectly sober, and if you conduct yourself properly I shall render you some assist ance when you come here after your discharge. The defendant then cheerfully accompanied the officer to Bridewell. The LORD MAYOR acknowledged the receipt of Si. from T. 13. Richards, Esq., Naples ; 51. from a lady with the initials G. S. ; and a New Year's Gift of 10s. for the Mansion-house poor-box. His Lordship also acknowledged the receipt of half of a Si. note, No. 64,144, for the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-road. The gift to the hospital was inclosed in the follow ing note :—" The benefits conferred by the above admirable institution on the diseased suffering destitute poor, induce an old soldier to trout le your Lordship with his mite towards its support. The other half note is sent by post, addressed to the secretary of that charity, with the request that he will acknowledge the receipt to the Chief Magistrate at the Mansion house. N. N." CLERKE.NWELL. Mr. Combe was occupied, during the greater part of yester day, in investigating into the cases of three young men, named Kedgell, French, and Honin, the former being charged with creating a disturbance at the Clerkenwell workhcusP, and the twe latter with knocking at the door of Mr. Cooksey, the overseer. The boys had been working in the yard of industry attached to the workhouse, all day. They were drawing trucks laden with wood. In the morning the parish gave them their break fast ; but ninepence each was considered sufficient remunera tiong for their day's work, which they received. There was no complaint that the boys had not performed the work as signed them, but when they applied for lodging in the evening, at the workhouse door, they were refused it. They had ex• pended on food the ninepence, and could rot consequently ob tain lodging, unless at the workhouse. They applied to the overseer, Air. Dyer, but he refused them, and the poor fellows, not liking to wander about the streets all night, in severe wea ther, knocked at the workhouse and overseer's doors. For so doing they were given into custody, and lodged at the station house. It was contended by the parochial functionaries that the boys had formerly misconducted themselves in the workhouse. Mr. Comax said that if the boys had misconducted them selves in the very worst manner they had a right to admission as destitute poor. Surely they should n.,t be suffered to wander about the streets, perhaps be driven into the commission of crime. It was quite plain that ninepence would not feed them during a days' hard work and pay for their lodging. It was absurd to think so. if they misconducted themselves at the workhouse they could be punished for it, but even a murderer if he were utterl woy destitute ould not be legally refused a night's lodging in a rkhouse.— c The boys were discharged. In the course of the investigation it was stated that there are at present 600 paupers in the Clerkenwell workhouse which was built to contain only half that number. WORSHIP-STREET. SHARPERS OUTWITTED.—Two wtll-dressed men, named George Mumford and Charles Jarv is, were charged, con jointly with Henry Lovitt, a simple-looking countryman, with - having been concerned in an attempt to rob Mr. Thomas Wil son, a builder, residing at Upminstrr, in Essex. The prosecutor stated that he had come to London to trans mit some business, and, on the preceding afternoon, was pass ing through Norton Folgate, near the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway, where he was accosted by the prisoner Mumford, who asked him if he was going down by the railway, as he himself was about to engag e a p lace b y the four oclock train. Witness replied that he intended to go by the five &clock train; upon which the prisoner said that, as he bad plenty of time to spare, be should protract his stay for an hour, that he might have the pleasure of his company. After some further conversation, the prisoner proposed an adjournment to a public house, when the stale trick of inducing every one in the room to exhibit his money was resorted to. The prosecutor was asked to exhibit what he had, to show his respectability. He apparently agreed to the proposition, but said he had sone urgent business to transact in tha neighbourhood, and would return in a few minutes. He then left them and proceeded at once to the station-house, where he obtained the assistance of a policeman, with whom he returned back to the public house and gave the prisoners, toge• ther with Lovett, whom he found in their company, into custody. The policeman produced a roll of flash notes which the pri soner Mumford had thrown from him on their way to the sta. tion-house, and also a purse containing 19 sham sovereigns, which was found concealed underneath the sleeve of his coat. Sergeant Coleman stated that, the prisoner Lovitt had been ascertained to be a highly respectable man, who had acciden tally fallen into the prisoners' company. He therefore wished to withdraw the charge against him. Mr. William Shurey, cashier at the establishment of Sir H. Meux and Co., the extensive brewers, stated that the prisoner Lovitt held the situation of bailiff to Sir H. Meux, and was a person of, unimpeachable integrity. He had come to town to settle his annual accounts, and had 63/. in his pocket, of which he would no doubt have been speedil ,, dispossessed, had he re mained much longer in company with the prisoners. The MAGISTRATE instantly ordered Lovitt to be discharged, and on,asking him how he got into the prisoners' company, he said that he entered the public-house to procure some refresh ment, and found the prisoners in the parlour, who were in the act of relating a story, when the recital was cut short by the arrival of the policeman, who conveyed them all to the station-house. Sergeant Coleman applied to the Magistrate to remand the prisoners, as he expected to be able to establish other charges against them.—The prisoners were accordingly remanded. SUICIDE. —Yesterday a young man, apparently not more than twenty years of age, committed suicide in a part of Chalk Farm-fields, adjoining the. carpet-ground. A son of Mr. Jones, the proprietor, observed him entering the ground, but thinking that he was going to have a shot at some birds, took no particular notice. Be was horrified, however, to ob serve the young man place a pistol to his chin, and commit the act of self-destruction; his head being literally blown to atoms. The alarm was immediately given, and the remains of the un fortunate suicide were conveyed to the werkhoute. There was found upon his person 4s. 6d. in silver, a couple of pistols, with several bullets, and a flask of powder. He had no card, and the only piece of paper found upon him contained the words," suffer," and " accounts." lie was dressed in a brown frock coat, tweed trousers, and undress military cap. Notice was immediately given to the Coroner. WESTMINSTER -BRIDGE. -- It appears, from the statement of Mr. Barry, the architect, that no patching can make this bridge secure, it is altogether in such a dangerous state. "It has become notorious," he says, " that the system pursued by Messrs. Walker and Borges for securing the fLun dation of the piers has failed, and the bridge is consequently in such a critical state as to cause an order to be given by the Commissioners to suspend all further works for the present. From what 1 have seen of the recent alarming dislocations of th e present structure , it is now, in m y o p inion, no longer a que stion as to the propriety o f re-buildin g not the su p erstructure alone, yit E bu r t m t A he so e li nt it ir l e ._ bri l dg v e e .; regret to bear that the Mar quis of Salisbury has withdrawn from Freemasonry. The refusal of that body to elect him Grand Master, in succession to the late Duke of Sussex, is the general assigned cause.— Bury Post. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

THE TROTTING MATCH AGAINST THE BEDFORD COACII.—The late case of alleged cruelty in driving a pony from Bedfo - d to London, against the Times Bed ford coach, was yesterday brought before the notice of the presiding Magistrates, at the Town Hall, Hitchin. There were present, the - Rev. W. Blomfield, Chairman, the Rev. W. Hall, J. Curling, Esq., the Hon. Mr. Ryder, F. R. 1). Radcliffe, Esq., &c. Mr. May, the Secretary to the National Animals' Friends Society, and Mr. Thomas, the Secretary to the Royal Society fur the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended in support cf the informations laid by their re spective Societies, against the party accused of the offence. _ _ The information charged the defendant, Alexander Burke, with having wantonly and cruelly ill-used and tortured a certain gelding at the parish of Hitchin. The defendant surrendered, and pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Wooller appeared on his behalf. Mr. THOMAS briefly addressed the Bench, and said he appeared on behalf of the Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, to prefer a charge against Mr. Burke, th 9 defendant, of having acted with wanton barbarity towards a pony. He then proceeded to state that the pony in question was matched to go from Bed ford to London, and return, and to perform the journey back to London on the second day in the same time as the Times Bedford coach. The unfortunate animal did go to London, but on its way back it was evident it could proceed no further; but notwithstanding_ this was quite apparent to every one, it was urged on, and another horse was hooked to it, and it was dragged to Shefford, where it was taken out, and died shortly after wards. The following evidence was then adduced:— William Hand deposed as follows—l am a police constable, stationed at Shefford. I recollect the 18th of December. On that morning I saw the defendant drive through Shefford towards London shortly after the Times coach. He was driving two ponies. The one at the wheel was a grey one. The horses were harnessed to a common gig at that time. I afterwards saw the. defendant returning at night with the same grey pony, on his return from London, and I observed that the pony shook its head, and (lid not seem able to go any further. It was taken into the stable of the White Hart, and I went there and observed that it seemed to be very much distressed. One man led the pony, and another walked by his side into the stable. At first it stood up, but almost immediately afterwards it fell down. Mr. CURLING—Did the animal appear to fall down ex hausted ? Witness—lt did. Examination continued—About an hour after the pony was taken into the stable it died. A man was hold ing its head, and he let it fall, and said it was all over, for the pony was dead. Cross-examined—l did not see Mr. Burke touch the grey pony either with a whip, or stick, or anything else. He struck the leader once or twice. By the BENCH—He did not strike him either going or returning. Timothy Gommeth, a police-constable of the F Divi sion was next examined. He said—l was on duty near the George and Blue Boar, Holborn, about two o'clock in the afternoon in question, and I saw the defendant drive out of the yard immediately after the Times coach. There was a great crowd of people, and I was obliged to clear the people away, and there was a talk about Mr. Burke driving his pony against the coach. Michael Connor, another policeman, proved that about a quarter past one o'clock, on the 18th, he saw the de fendant driving the pony towards London. He also proved that he knew the grey pony as belonging to the defendant. Mr. Charles Tunes deposed that he was a solicitor, and on the 18th December he saw some person, whom he could not identify as the defendant, driving a grey pony and a galloway near the Town-hall, Hitchin, and going towards Bedford. He followed him in a gig as far as the turnpike, and the prisoner, who was driving, the-horses, asked if the Bedford coach was gone through, and witness replied, " ten minutes." The defendant then asked him either to ride behind or before him, and not to keep by his side, and this was all that passed. The pony seemed very much distressed, in fact, " beat." It did not touch the collar, and the leader seemed to have had " quite enough." Cross-examined—Shefford is seven miles from Hitchin. He did not see him hit the pony in the shafts, but he I did strike the leader. By the BENCH—Shefford is about forty miles from London. George Farrow, a road labourer, proved that he saw the defendant driving the pony towards London. Wit ness was putting down gravel on the road, and the de fendant held up his whip and said that he was the worst enemy he had. He saw the defendant again on the afternoon of the same day—the grey pony seemed dreadfully distressed, and appeared to be dragged along by the leader, and to hang on the breeching. Cross-examined—Did not see any breeching to the harness. Richard Oliver, an inspector of police, proved that he saw the pony passing through Cadicate apparently dreadfully distressed, and the leader dragging it along. The coach had gone through five minutes before. The pony travelled as though it could hardly get one leg before another. By Mr. RYDER—The pony was going at the rate of eight or nine miles an hour when he saw it. Mr. Thomas said he had summoned a person named May, a toll-collector, but he was not present. Mr. Wooteraa then addressed the bench and -pro ceeded to contend that the specific charge contained in the information had not been made out, and that there was not the least evidence of the defendant having acted with any cruelty towards the animal; but on the contrary, all the witnesses had positively negatived the supposi tion. He admitted the animal had been set to a task above its powers, and the failure was in a great measure to be attributed to the bad state of the roads, for he was instructed that upon other occasions the animal had per formed even greater feats than the one in question. The animal was a great favourite of the defendant, and was a source of considerable profit to him ; it therefore was not nicely that he should wilfully cause its destruction. After some further observations Mr. Wooller called the following witnesses on behalf of the defendant. Air. H. Milburne deposed that he resided at Holloway, where he carried on the business of a licensed victualler. He knew the defendant, and was present when a wager was made for two amounts, 301. to 101., and 21/. to 71. The effect of the wager was that he should stand to win 811, to lose 271. The wager was that he was to drive his pony from Bedford to London and return, against the time of the Bedford coach, and come again to Lomb n on the next day. The condition of the match was tli h at e he was not to use either stick or whip to the pony, o h r e would lose his wager; and he said at the time that d t os who backed him must not be angry, for he shoul pull up if he found his pony the least distressed. ow W h itnes e s did not consider the match b e y ond the pers of t pony to perform. He s aw the p ony in London, and it appeared so fresh that, but for his knowledge of the i fact, he should not hav e thought it had come ferther than from Barnet. He saw the pony after this, and it seemed so fresh that gentlemen were laying even bets in its favour. Witness was aware than this pony had before performed some extraordinary feats. The BENCU thought this had nothing to do with the case. Cross-examined —Had known the defendant four years. Mr. Tnomas—Are you not aware that he has killed three horses in matches against time ?—After some dis cussion as to the admissibility of the question, the wit ness said he was not aware of the fact. The witness, after being pressed, said he had heard that Burke had ridden a horse twenty miles in an hour, and undertook to jump over twenty hurdles, and the horse died at the eighteenth hurdle. Cross-examination continued—Witness did not ac • company the defendant in this match, but a number of people did so.. Alr. Spring accompanied him the whole of the distance. Did not know that the pony was taken out at Welwyn because it was ill. He had no conversa tion with him about the match—in point of fact, he was opposed to him, so far as the match was concerned, as he had laid his money against the undertaking being com pleted. Mr. Spring and Burke certainly came to his house after the match, and said how much they regretted what had happened. Mr. RADCLIFFE—YOU have told us that you laid against the Tony, and yet you have said you were cer tain the pony could win. Witness—l put down the money, in order that the match might be got off. Mr. RADCLIFFE—And you expected to lose your money ? Witness—Yes. Cross-examination continued—Had never heard it stated that Burke was a considerable gainer by losing this match. Thomas Winter, better known as " Tom Spring," de posed that he had nothing to do with the making of the match, but saw it while it was being proceeded with. The pony was very fresh in his opinion when it started on the second journey from the George and Blue Boar, and in his opinion it was able to perform the match. Witness accompanied the pony to She&rd, and on Burke coming up to him about two miles from that town, Burke said to him, "I am beat." Witness told him he did not think he was, for the pony seemed lively, to which Burke replied that he limpet him falter in the last two or three hundred yards, and he at the same time said, " You know you have heard me say that the moment I found the pony was beat, I w ould pull up at the first house I came to, and I mean to do it." They did not know, it being dark, where they were, and on being informed they were about two miles from Shefford, they resolved to proceed thither, and gave up the match, and only went on at a very slow pace, in fact, a jog -trot. At Shefford every attention was paid to the animal. The CHAIRMAN—But, notwithstanding that, it died ? Witness—Yes. Cross-examined—Witness - followed the pony down to Welwyn. It was taken out there for refreshment, and gruel given to it, was rubbed down, and appeared quite fresh. The pace up to town was about eleven miles an hour. They had leaders. The first was taken at the Bald-headed Stag, Finchley, the next at Barnet, and a third at Welwyn. The pony seemed very fresh. Wit ness was in a post-chaise, a few yards a-brad of the pony, but he had opportunities of seeing the pony when they changed. They had no leader between Welwyn and Shefford. If the leader had dragged the pony along he must have fallen down. He did not see much of the condition of the pony after he left Welwyn. Witness gave the pony some old ale rear Shefford. It was cer tainly distressed when it arrived there. The BENCH remarked that, according to the testimony of Mr. Spring, the defendant had at this point said he was beat, and he should go no further. Cross-examination continued—A veterinary surgeon was called in to examine the pony. It was a beautiful little yony, and he wished he bed its fellow. On the 18th of December the roast was very bad. It was a most unfavourable day in every respect. By tile CHAlR:wale—When the penS , was in London, gruel, with sherry in it, was given to him. It heed no thing but gruel at Welwyn. Mr. Joseph Thoraas Powell deposed that he was a veterinary surgeon, and remembered being called in to see the pony, but unfortunately not before it was too late. lie was directed to pay every attention to the pony, and he did so. He examined the body, and in hie opinion its death was occasioned by congestion of the. lungs, arising from the state of the atmosphere , but of course its death would not have taken place but for the exertion, although he had no doubt, under favourable circumstances, it might have accomplished the task. The CHAIRMAN asked for some explanation. Witness—The atmosphere was most peculiar. It `vas such a day that if you had galloped a horse ten miles , 1 would very likely have died. In his opinion the death was occasioned by congestion of the lungs, partl °cc!' sioned by fatigue, but as much from the state y of the atmosphere. Cross-examined—He was not at all interested in the match, and in fact he knew nothing about it until he log sent for to attend the pony. lie gave a certificate that the pony had died from congestion of the lungs, °c c !. sioned by the fog. The air cells of the lungs wart gorged with blood. The stomach was very healthy, ea' it was of course nearly empty, and merely contained a small quantity of oats and beans. He did not obs erv . o any appe2rance of the pony having sustained great r ill or torture before it died. lie did not observe any we i r marks on the horse's body. By the BENCII—Had seen many cases where hors ° had died from over-exertion, but it was in a great e ' w Il e : sure to be attributed to the atmosphere. lie did e think the match ought to have been attempted on auCh $ day as this was. John Miles stated that he was servant to the defendaa!, a and by his orders he took charge of the pony at BedK o It had been under his charge for some time and wee / excellent condition. Mr. WOOLLER intimated that ha had other wit ness e in attendance, but he did not think they would carry te defendant's case any further. Mr. THOMAS briefly replied, and submitted that the charge bad been clearly made out, and called upon the Bench to convict. In the course of his remarks he he had no hesitation in expressing his opinion that,!' animal had been sacrificed for the purpose of put"°h.: money in the pockets of the parties who made the not ic at (The defendant declared with warmth that this w as °- true.) The Bench having retired for a short time to deliberl; upon their return into Court, the CHAIRMAN Sai d t i l t) magistrates were of the unanimous opinion that t offence had been proved. There could bo no doubt til,„ the defendant must have been aware of the irupossibilli4 of the pony performing the task in such weather, t o Magistrates regretted that the Act of Parliament tq not give them power to inflict a sufficient penO t r he mark their disgust of the defendant's conduct. would, however, w inflict the full penalty, which was e shillings and the'costs. en The defendant at first said he should appeal, but ev . tually he consented to pay the penalty and costs. The information laid by Mr. May was withdrawn . i.i n . The proceedings appeared to create a good deal 04 terest, and the Town-hall was crowded by the in" tants of Hitchin and the neighbourhood.
