NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital 2500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short polieles-- the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-live per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitabie scale, may either be paid iu cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums PELICAN LIFE A 70, LOMBARD-STREEI Eitabllshed 1797. 3!.

The portraits by Sir Peter Lely and Vandyke, in Windsor Castle, are doubtless faithful representation s of those fair and suc cessful aspirants to a notoriety which endures to the present day. But how gratifying are the conclusions we are enabled to arrive at in favour of our own times ! The polished observances' of modern society seem to have had their effects in subduirpr the bold expression of eyes akin to those that beamed upon the Restoration. While a costume ever chaste and resplendent has super seded the stiff and formal sameness of the " olden time." And to these important advantages may be added a pleasing restorative and preserver of the complexion, Gowland's Lotion, in removing every species of cu taneous impurity, and sustaining a brilliant vivacity of tint, has- long been appreciated in the highest circles. An assurance of the sterling' remedial qualities of this invaluable article cannot be too firmly entertained by all who suffer from irritability and discolouration of the skin. - - IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. April 17. There being only thirty-eight Members preseßt at Four o'Clock, the. House did not sit this evening. • SPIRIT . orthe PUBLIC JOURNALS: k ROW EVENING PAPERS, OF YESTERDAY. i GLOBE.—The speech which Sir James Graham de livered in reply to Lord John Russell, in the course of ' the debate on the Irish State prosecutions, contained a slashing attack on Lord Fortescue, as the Lord Lieute nant of Ireland under Lord Melbourne's Administra tion. Among other imputations, it was especially attributed to Lord Fortescue, that he had made extra and unnecessary appointments of stipendiary magistrates on the very eve of' resigning the Lord Lieutenantcy,. in consequence of the resignation of their offices . by the Cabinet under which he held office. That charge was met and confuted by Lord For tescue, in the House. of Lords 'shortly after it was made. Last night the subject was introduced to..the House 'of Commons by Lord Ebrington, the son of the Noble Lord whose administration had been thus assailed by Sir James 'Graham. Pursuant to notice, Lord Ebrington moved for returns connected with the ap pointment of stipendiary magistrates - in Ireland between the 2d of March and the 15th of April, 1841. We refer to the complete answer 2vlich was supplied to - thC z tiiiiiotthy and grontireltrtack upon" . -.Lord Fortescue. The subdued tone and apologetical matter of Sir James Graham's speech, in reply to the clear, full, andoircumstantial disproof of the accu sation, showed that, for once, the Home Secretary was confounded,' if - not ashamed. His 'shuffling, however, sufficiently showed the reluctance with which he ad mitted the " inaccuracies" he could no longer assert. " With regard to the ground of complaint of the Noble Lord,' it. certainly appeared to be true that, in a few slight particulars, he (Sir J. Graham) had been inaccurate in his former statement on the subject of these appoint- ments." The " slight particulars, with respect to which the Right Hon. Baronet now admitted" inaccuracy," con stituted the gravamen of the accusation he had brought against Lord Fortescue. The substance. of . the charge which Sir James Graham alleged against Lord ,Fortes cue, was, that " after the Government was a condemned Government—not content with adding seven Opendiary magistrates- in these three months—in the last gasp of an expiring Government—they appointed one magistrate on the •very day they left office," The Home Secretary's imputation rested upon a non entity. The returns, now produced showed that the. document, to which Sir James Graham appealed in attestation of the 'charge 'against Lord Fortescue, had no existence ; the returns further proved that there had been no departure from-the rule laid down and enfJrced by Lord Nornianby, and invariably acted . upon by Lord Fortescue, of ant appointing a stipendiary magistrate to any district.without having the .special circumstances under which the application from the district' for such an appointment was made, closely investigated, and fully substantiated. The number ofspecial ma gistrates appointed by Lord Fortescue within the time stated, and under the circumstances alleged by Sir James Graham,-was repre sented as seven ; the facts showed that they amounted to, two ; and these, after urgent applications, the rejection of wich would' have involved a disregard to the safety of person and property -within. the districts to which' these stipendiary magistrates 'were appointed, had they. been withheld. Yet these discrepancies between the statements and the facts are " slight. inaccuracies Mr. Labouchere Set the whole question before the House in its true light.* The Right Hon. Gentleman ; said :—" He could not admit that the question before them depended upon any difference, or any small error in the account which. had been referred to—it was, whether the charge made by the Right Honourable Baronet against the late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, of having prostituted his patronage, was true or not (Cheers) —and that was a question of some conse quence. .. • . He now ap pealed to every Member present whether that charge had not completely broken down?—(CheerS.) .lie could understand the Right Hon. Gentleman in the hurry of debate speaking under false impressions; . but it would have done him more credit had he avowed the error, instead of endeavouring to bear out the colour which he had put upon the matter, and to attempt to de 7 fend his statements' by such trumpery arguments as he had used to-night. The question was not whether the late Government were right in appointing stipen diary magistrates to the-extent they did, but whether there was any case before the House to warrant them in saving that Lord Fortescue made the appointments improperly during the last few months of his adminis tration. The Noble Lord thought it was no matter whether these appointments were • made between February and August, or June and August ; but that was the very gravamen of his charge • and if it should appear that not seven but two only were appointed during the last three months, the charge was lost." Lord Stanley, and subsequently Sir R. Peel, came to the rescue of their chap-fallen colleague. They effected nothing in his favour ; for they failed .to shake one of the facts on which Lord Ebrington rested the vindication of his Noble parent. These facts were upon the table of the House—returns . from the department of which Sir James Graham is the head. The Secre tary for the Colonies and the: Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government did, - however, prove themselves worthy of having Sir James Graham for a colleague. By endeavouring' to extenuate,' if not to justify his "inaccuracies"--on which he rested his imputations against Lord Fortescue—they at least raise a presumption against themselves. It may be now fairly inferred that Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peel would have made the same groundless accusations against Lord Fortescue. The discredit, indeed, attaches to Sir James Grahain as the author ; but to them also as approvers, of the now-confuted " inaccuracies," as Sir James Graham mildly designates them. Beyond the . walls of Parliament they will be . generally described by another and a shorter:word. STANDARI).—Mr. Wyse's motion, for the names and birth-places- of 22,000 persons . - employed in the • public service was of course rejected.. It is worthy of remark that Mr. Hume, who a few years ago proposed and carried a'similar motion with respect to the soldiers in the army, - opposed Mr. Wyse last night specially on the ground of the invidiousness of such a motion ; the fact.; we imagine, being, that . Mr. Hume was not much gratified by the result of his own experiment, and doubted whether Mr. Wyse might not be expoSed, to a similar disappointment. It was, no doubt, quite right to reject Mr. Wyse's motion upon principle,' but we regret that the retu rn sou g ht for was not made, for we are persuaded that it would exhibit a very undue proportion of Irishmen (if anything can be undue' in the matter) in the public service, respect being had to the numbers quali fied by education and character in the respeetive sions of 'the United Kingdom. Nobody, will say that the savages who howled round Mr. O'Connell at the emonster . meetings are either qualified by. educa tion, or entitled by their conduct, to. be intro duced into- the Queen's service ; yet these,, if we are to believe the Conciliation Hall reports, are more than commensurate with the whole. Irish. population. Where, then, was the present Government, or the Whig-Radical Government, from OW to 1841, to find Irishmen fitted for office? SomehoW or other, however, a goodly number of IriShmen have found their way into the public service, as any one may satisfy himself by looking to the tide waiters on the Thames. There is hardly a foreign vessel comes into London that does not bring an Irishman. more often two or three, from Graves end, and so we believe it is everywhere, and in all the public departments. The " Irish Members" did nut lcse the opportunity while their Whig-Radical servants were in office. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 50i • and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 62k, it follows that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold,. gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at. Hamburg h on London at short being 13 10i, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1081 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 1.08 per cent. against England; but the quoted ex change at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. BRIGHTON, MONDAY, APRIL 15.—Lord and Lady- Granville, who have been staying at the Duke of Devonshire l e house in Kemp-town , all the winter, took their departure this morning for London. Baroness Bray also left Brighton this morning for London, after a stay of several months. Lady Louisa and Miss Georgiana Lvgon, Lord Calthorpe, Lady Burnett, Lady Gamier, and Lord Wm. Graham are among our latest arrivals. The unexpected arrival of a company of the Scots Fusilier Guards on Saturday afternoon, and their being immediately placed on Palace duty, led us to believe that we were to be honoured by a visit from some of the Royal Family. The rumoured meeting 'of her Majesty" and the King of the French at the Pavilion was spoken of, but on inquiry we ascertained that the Inniskilling ragoons, who were to have relieved the 7th Hussars, have been ' de tained at Sunderland, where a disturbahce was expected in. the collieries, and that the Guards had merely arrived to do duty till quiet is restored in the north. Two troops of the 7th Hussars marched freM Brighton this morning en route to Coventry. The remainder of the regiment will fellow on Wednesday. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Menia, Captain Goodhurn, arrived this morning Harbour' Shoreham arbour . from Dieppe, with about fifty .pas sengers, most of whom. took their departure by railway, im mediately after their arrival, for London. . violence colt horsedl eo ß nnbc o ee o r o t fto s kte i 'ACCIDENT- ID ENT_ TO WAKEFIELD, THE JOCKEY.--We at n t d s a o loi w down, s trialull sc a t n a d a ii are sorry to say this clever " light weight" met with a severe accident on Saturday last whilst riding Lord Orford's Derby Newmarket. nn ti jevudare i dehfiteheladthat it was v i i dislocationl t h, irnoowthrown lfal appears that the sh withoue probability,rilat I much Acploportio inf9re In will in able t 9 ride again. . __ -........_ THE WILLS FORGERIES. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. • OLD COURT. Mr: Justice Williams tcok his seat on the bench at ten o'clock, and immediately afterwards the prisoners Win. Bar ber, Joshua l'iptcher, William Saunders, Lydia Saunders,. and Georgiana Dorey, were placed at the bar. 'The prisoners, as before, were accommodated with seats. Capt. Foskett was recalled—He was questioned by the Court as to certain parts of his evidence which was given yesterday. He did not recollect whether when he called upon 13arber anything was said about his residence. not recollect anything being. said with respect to Miss Slack's residence. __ . - Wm. Phillips wag then called and examined by Mr. ERLE,' and said—l am a stock-broker. I have been- acquainted with the prisoner Fletcher right years. I have also known Barber for five- or six years. I remember seeing Mr.. Fletcher in the • Rotunda of the _Bank a few days before the 7th of April. He said he had got a good job for Me. He did licit tell me what it was, but funderstood it was respecting a'transfer of stock. On the 7th April I sacs the i;risener Barber at 'my office. A . lady was with him, who was a stranger to me. Barber intro duced her to me aa Emma Slack. The prisoner Lydia Saunders is the person he so introduced. Barber directed me to sell :1,500/. Cen.sols which were standing in the name of Emma Slack. Barber told ink that he expected Fletcher to call soon. I then proceeded over the way with the' prisoner to the Bank of England, and went into the office of the Ac countant:4:l.'ole*, which sis the office out-of- which un claimed dividends are taken. Applied for an order for the dividend on 3,5001. Consols, and obtained' it. The course of business in that office is for persons apply ing for dividends Id be identified by a stock-broker. I wrote. the words "known to me" at the foot of the .order for the payment of the dividends. When the order was obtained it was presented by me to the chief cashier, arid from him I got an order to go down to the drawing-office. The' order was iiiven to Mr. -Barber,,and I left him and the prisoner Lydia bounders in ;the drawing-office to take the money, and Went . .to forivard the transfer of the stock, having arranged with Barber to meet again in the Rotunda. I sold the stock to Mr. Clement Smith, a stock-broker, for the sum of 3,386/. 55., which sum was paid to me by Mr. Smith in notes and cash. L think there were three one thousand pound notes amongst them, but Ido not recollect the other. When coining out of the drawing-office I saw Fletcher in the Rotunda. I told him that there Was 1,1001. dividends being received.' After I had transferred the stock I returned to the Rotunda, and there I saw Fletcher, Barber, and Lydia Saunders, and I gave the money which I had received for the-stock to Barber. I had a conversation, but I cannot say with which of the prisoners, about changing a I,oo.oknote for gold.. They then left me, and I went to my own office. Cross-examined by Yin - GokavEs—l have been at the Mansion-house but once since Fletcher was under examina tion. I was there when Mr.. Barber was first examined, and on that occasion Mr. Fletcher was examined as a witness. I furnished instructions to Mr. Freshtield - respecting his cross examination. I did so while Mr. Fletcher was being cross examined by Mr. Clarkson. told Mr. Freshfield that Mr. Fletcher had'told me that he could introduce me to a good job:" I will now swear that Fletcher had-used those words to me. I will swear the Word "introduced" was used to me by Fletcher. I cannot distinctly recollect to-day what I said in my examination in chief. The witness; in- the course of 'his cross-examination, hesi tated a great deal in giving his answers. . • Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he thought this was an ante diluvian mode of doing business.—(Laughter.) Cross-examined by Mr. STONT—NOIWIIg occurred in - this case which might not occur. in the ordinary course of busi ness. Nothing passed hetween Lydia Saunders and my s elf when the money was received. lf I recollect rightly, the prisoner Lydia Saunders wore a veil when the transfer was made, but whether she wore it down or not i cannot say. I think - she was dressed in the same way when she was exa mined at the Mansion-house. I recollect nothing being said by the - :prisoners when the money was received at the Bank, except What was said about changing the 1,000/. note. There was nothing unusual in that. I dare say I have identified as many as 300 persons at the Bank for the. purpose of receiving dividends. Cross-examined by Mr.- Wuxi:as—My memory is not very 'good. can recollect some things and not others. I will not swear either one way or the other as to whether Mr. Barber tookpOrt in the conversation respecting the change for the 1,0001. note. I think he must have heard the con versation. There were very few persons in the Rotunda of the Bank when the money was received. I was present at about fonr or five examinations respecting this case, which took place at the Mansion-house. I have had other trans actions with Mr. Barber besides the present one. On the 29th April, 1843, I sold out 1001. Reduced for Mary Anderson. On the Ist June in the same year I sold 1,2101. Consols for a person for whom Mr. Barber was attorney. Ido not recol lect any other transaction with Mr. Barber. Re-eximined by Mr. Eimi—When I saw Lydia Saunders at the Bank her veil was up, and I saw her features. I do' not recollect a case in which a female took so much gold out of the Bank at -one- time after selling-stock. . James Ballard examined by Sir J. BAYLEY—I am a clerk in the Three per Cent. Consols office in the Bank of England. I produce the transfer-book in which the transfer of 3,500/. stock is entered in the name of Emma Slack, on the 7th of April, 1843. I was the attesting witness to the transfer. Clement Smith was the purchaser of the stock. Mr. Clement Smith was then called and examined by Sir J. BAYLEY—I am a stock-jobber. I purchased on the 7th of April, 1843, 3,500/. Consols from Mr. Philpotts. I paid 3,282/. for them. I paid for them in Bank notes—three notes of 1,000/. eachland the rest in small notes. I received the large notes from a gentleman of the name of Mortiiner. I received four from him on the 7th of April. The other note I paid into Prescott and CO.'s bank. Cross-examined by Mr. GREAVES—I am quite positive as to the number of the 1,000/. notes I had in my possession on the 7th of April, but I do not recollect the numbers or par ticulars of them. _ _ _ By the Couicr—l frequently have 5,000 or 10,000 Bank notes pass through my hands m the course of a week. _ Charles Smith Mortimer said—l am a member of the Stock Exchange. On the 7th April, 1843, I lent the last witness 3,000/. I paid him Bank notes to the amount of 4,0001. They were four notes of 1,000/ . eac h . Cross-examined by M r . G nEAvEs —l have a great deal of money passing throu g h my h an d s. I rec ollect receiving 1,000/. notes, from a -p art i cu l ar en t r y in my book. . Edwin John Bruen was then examined. by Sir J. BAYLEY —lie merely deposed to having paid two 1,000/. notes to the last witness. Several witnesses were th en exa mi ne d as to the identity of the 1,000/. notes which were rece i ve d by gr. Philpots. - Several clerks in th e B ank of E ng l an d were examined, Airho had paid on th e Bth A pril, i n gold, ,a numbe of Null: notes.- These notes w ere i n d orse d ", Emma Slack," but the witnesses did not identi(y t h e persons w ho had received the money. r Henry Alcock Grattan was then called, and examined — I am a clerk in the Southwark branch of the London and Westminster Bank. I am acquainted with Fletcher. He kept an account in the bank for upwards of bur years. The writing which is on the note produced, Which is for 500/, -Emma Slack, 7, Francis -street, T o ttenham-court-road." is in the handwriting of the prisoner Fletcher. The same en dorSement is on the 1,000/. produced, and that is also in Fletcher's handwriting. On the 10th of April, 1843, the sum of 500/. in gold was paid by Fletcher into the bank, and placed p to ai h d i i s n a t e o co b t i t s nt•. On own account 18th o i tmttbe of the sutuofsale 4801. n in gold, aFnledtc2hoeir in notes. On the 13th, Il et C ) . er h a d paid in the sum o f 1;000/. in gold, whi c h was placed to hi s deposit account. Mr. John Mille r d epose d that he wa s a clerk in the B an k. On the 13th of April h e paid 1,000 sovereigns for a 1 .0001. note. (This was th e note endorse d " Emma Slack, Fran eis• street , -Tottenham -court-road.") • Mr. Grattan was recalled, and several letters were pro duced. The witness said he believed the writing to be that of the prisoner Fletcher. The Court. here adjourned'for ten minutes. The next witness called was George Gorsuch, who said—l •was formerly in the employ ment of Mr. and Mrs. Dorev, i n Oxford-street. I lived with them three weeks in M arc h and April, 1843. During that time I saw the prisoner Lydia Saunders at the house. She arrived in Oxford-stieet, on the 7th of April, 1843, in a cab, with Mrs. Dorey. She remained until the following Monday, the 7th being on a Friday. On the Saturday morning I saw Mrs. Dorey produce a Bank of England note for 1,000/. It was shown tome as a curiosity, as I had never seen a note of -that amount before. Shortly after that I saw Mrs. Saunders in the shop. She was dressed, and I saw her take an omni bus to the City. She returned in about two hours, and brought a canvas bag, which from the sound appeared to contain a large quantity of sovereigns. When' she returned, Mrs. Saunders looked out several articles to take away with her. While she was' in Ox•ford-street, T had an opportunity of seeing Mrs. Dorey write. The endorsement, " Emma Slack," on the - note produced, is in her hand-writing. The dress produced is the one which Mrs. Saunders took away with her when she left on the Monday. Cross-examined—As Mrs. Saunders walked through the shop she seemed lame. She was introduced to me as Mrs. Dorey's sister, from Bristol. I breakfasted and dined at the same table with' her on the Sunday. I was not dismissed from Mr. Dorey's service. I left on the 19th April, 1843. Eliza Rosser was then called and sworn. ' She said—l live at Bristol, and ant in the service of Mr. Taplin. I formerly lived with the prisoner Saunders. He was a fishmonger. Before I left Mr. Saunders' service, Mrs. Saunders bad been in London about two months. She gave me warning to leave in about a week after she returned. 'When Mr.• Saunders returned home, she broug ht wi th her three silk dresses. While Mrs. Saunders wa s in London, Mr. Saunders left Bristol for a 'few days. H e returned about a week before rra. . SSaunti Cross-examined-1 1 Lr. Saunders was one of the largest fishmongers in Bristol. H e was. often absent from home.

This was' evidently an attempt made to prejudice the 'minds of the jury, . . . . Mr. Justice Wirwamel think this had betterbe reserved till the end of the case.' . _ Mr. James .Gudge examined, said I am clerk of journals lof the House of Commons. The Right Hon. Charles Shaw Le fevre. is Speaker of the House of Commons. 1 Mr. Freshfield was then called and examined—l am the the solicitor to the . Bank. On the 15th of November last I called on the prisoner Barber. • I told him that I came from theßank of England with reference to a sum of stok Which had been transferred in the name of Anne Slack, undier a will which appeared to' have been proved by Mr. Barber, and which was irregular. He, said that he remembered the i d transaction ; that Miss Slack came to him with the w .1, which was 'quite regular; that the property was mention in the will ; and that she stated that her aunt had died ab it Six weeks before ; that lie' got the will proved, and got er the money, which was all he knew of the business. .1 as d him who the lady was, and lie said she resided in some street out of Holborn; she was a most respectable person, and fie had no doubt that the transaction was all right. • I ask pd him if she was,introduced, and by whom. He said he had no doubt that she :was, but he could not recollect by whorn ; but he would endeavour to recal the facts; as to him it wa.e a mere 'natter. of business, and he knew nothing more of it. I told him that was quite inconsistent with the fact 'of his having been in communication with Captain Foskett :or 1 some months before the alleged death of Miss Anne Sla k, respecting - this very property. He said he certainly had d some: communication 'with Captain Foskett, but not, e thought, respecting this property, but he • could not rec l ied. I told him that his letters were distinctly respecti g the property of Miss Anne Slack. After some hesitati n, he said it might be so, he could not deny it, but that it as a mere matter of business, and he did not feel authorised in distlosing the affairs of his client. I told him that I id I not wish him to tell me more than he chose—that I sho Id not at all press him ; but 'it wad necessary that I. sho hl apprise him that a fraud and forgery had been committ d, and that he was gravely implicated in the transacti n, having been inquiring and negotiating respecting this v ry property six months before the alleged death of Miss ne Slack, and b.efore_ the right of his clients accrued; d I desired to know ' under what circumstances he ad so negotiated. He said he supposed he could • t 11, and he would endeavour to recollect. He said A iss• Slack was a most respectable woman, and ' that he had no doubt that it was all right. I told him .that was be side the question, which was, how he came to -be interfering six mouths before he saw her? He said that he did not knlow that lie could tell, or ought to tell, but he would refresh bis memory ; and he wished me to look at his books, that I 'might see that it was a mere matter of business with him. He then produced a probate, and his ledger and account book, which he opened. There was an entry in his ledget of 901: proctor's bill, and 151. for his own. He said that was: all he got out of the transaction ; that his bill amounted as east to 131. odd, and Miss Slack made it 15/. The book shoied the produce of the stock to be 4,5001., and the entry *as signed " Emma Slack." I then told him that that was hot the question, and he again said that he would endeavout to refresh his memory, and if I would call on a future occasion he would let me know the result. I told him that his cha racter was implicated, and that I desired to give him: an opportunity to explain if he pleased, but I did not mean tben , i o press him, but that I should 'report the case to the Trea sury, who would no doubt prosecute it; and that if lie chose to send me any,explanation, I would report that also, but that I could not delay. From that time to the time of ihis beim' , apprehended, he never made any communication to be. The witness read this statement from notes which he made at the time. Mr. WHADIs—Now, Mr. Freshfield, put the paper by, and then give the statement to the jury without looking at the notes. Mr. Juatice WlLLlAms—That is a matter entirely With himself. He may do it if he chooses. Mr. ERLE—If bit. Freshfield wishes to look at the paper again, I submit that he has a right to do so if he pleases. Mr. Freshfield—l could give the account without the paper, but of course there would be variances in words. - • Mr.. WiLkyss —Of course, and those variances are what I want to hear. • • Mr. Freslitield—Well, then, I decline to do it. Mr. \VlLA'Ns—Very well ; that will do as well for me. Cross-examination continued—Mr. Barber expressed a good deal of angry feeling. He said, " I hardly understand. in What character you put these' questions to me." I wil fully omitted this when I read my statement. Mr. Barber did not express indignation more than once. I will swear that he did not say he must decline furnishing me with the name of his informant for the present: He did not say " I think at the present time I ought not to mention his name." I have never been examined before. Mr. Barber .did not offer to show me his diary. I did not instruct the Messrs. Forrester to watch Mr. Barber's office, nor am I aware that such instructions were given. It was about three weeks after I called on Mr. Barber that he was taken into custody. I never'called on Mr. Birber afterwards, Although he had said that if I called in a few days he would give me an ex-- planation. Re-examined—l told him that I should not call again, but if he wished to send any explanation I would report it. I have no part in getting up this case beyond reportingit to the Treasury. This prosecution is instituted by the Lords of the Treasury. Samuel Robert. Goodman examined—l am the chief clerk at the Man'sion-house. I was there when the prisoner Bar ber was first brought up, and when the forged will of Emma Slack was,produced. After examination Mr. Barber applied to be discharged on bail. Mr. Clarkson said that further eVidence would be brought forward, and therefore he opposed the application of Barber, and the Lord Mayor declined ad mitting the prisoner to bail. Mr. Clarkson inquired , if Fletcher was present, and no one answered. Soon after this Mr. Barber,was seen, talking to a person, who turned out to be Fletcher. Cross-examined—Mr. Barber cross-examined Fletcher and Miss Slack also. ' I have a copy of that cross-examination. Re-examined—When Barber ealled Fletcher as a witness, it was after the Lord Mayor had refused to bail him. -The proceedings were kept waiting, I should think, a quarter of an hour, while Barber was in conversation with Fletcher, before Fletcher was examined as a witness. • The forged will was here put in and read, as also *as the affidavit for obtaining probate. The letters which passed be tween Barber, and : Fletcher, and Captain Yoskett, were then read. . . Mr. Edward Wolfe was then called and examined, and said—l am the articled clerk to Mr. Flower, who is the at torney for Mrs. Dorey. The statement produced was .made voluntarily by MT. Dorey. Mr. WILKINS gnu' he could not object to this being pro duced, but he had to complain of his Learned Friend, not mentioning it in his opening. Mr. ERLE said he would not press the statement, and it was consequently not read. Mr. Wolfe wished to state that, when he was examined before, he was understood to say that he was the attorney for Mrs.'Dorey. This was not the case, he was articled cleric to Mr. Flower, who was the attorney for Mrs. Dorey. This was the case for the prosecution. The' Court then adjourned. • THE Ram DAY OF TETW.—Monday being the first day of Easter Term, agreeably to ancient custom, the Lord Chancellor gave a breakfast to the several Judges at his Lordship's private residence, in George-street, Hanover square :—Lord Denman, Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench ; Lord Langdale, Master of the Rolls ; Sir L.

THE CURRENCY, TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. 1. - Sir,—ln your journal of the sth' instant, I par tially explained the fatal delusions under which the terrible Bill of 1819 was made the law of the land. Well might M. Say exclaim, " Voila l'Angletcrre! elle-se coupe la gorge r There is no public man alive now, I believe, who does not readily acknowledge that in 1819, the unanimous votes of both Houses were " a gigantic error ;" but, woodeiful to say, the very same men now commit a still greater error by assert- , ing that "it is too late to retreat !" I believe that this last error. is more terrible than the former. If it is not an error, have only to - observe, that_in my humble judgment, the doom of our country is sealed. In the words of Napoleon, we might well exclaim, " It is'then written above, that we shall now commit nothing hut errors." • • 2. It is very remarkable to .contrast the extraor dinary obliquity of intellect • which the Jews and. lawyers have exhibited at one period, with the wonder ful coolness and assurance which they, have exhibited at another. At one_ period they 'could see no depreciation whatever; in the paper • money of the late war : in almost the - next moment everything appeared depreciation_ in . their eyes. Whilst they were . lending :one thousand , and forty seven millions sterling to the Government, .during the late war, they stoutly affirmed that theit.money was not depreciated,' and "that it was of equal• value to the money which existed before the late war; and at one period, when the depreciation* was greatest, they literally induced the House of .Commons to pasS a resolution solemnly declaring " that a one-pound note and a shilling were equal in value to a guinea,". meaning, of course, the guinea as it represented the values of society before the war. But the very mo ment the lending system came` to an end, and the re payment of their one thousand and forty-seven mil lions sterling was to commence, they gravely turned round upon their victims, and audaciously called the paper money " worthless 'rags !" And, wonderful to say, with this very expression, " worthless rags," in their months, they refused to make an abatement of one farthing in the pound upon their fraudulent and swindling claims upon the nation, and very coolly proceeded, without the slightest inquiry, to enforce the repayment of their murderous bonds in full, and • in standard gold! - - 3. The late Lord Liverpool had afterwards the honesty to tell the House of Lords, that " they had doubled and trebled their rents of land in paper money, and that they must not now expect to keep up such rents in standard gold." This was tantamount to a confession on his part, that in selecting a standard of value, the " most convenient and beneficial to the nation," he ought to have coined ten shillings of our ancient coins, or even six shillings and eightpence of such coins, into a pound sterling, instead of adopting the standard of Queen Elizabeth, strung up ten per cent in value beyond that mortal level. 4. But in the midst of this frank confession, Lord 'Liverpool never condescended to tell the House of .Lords how they were to deal with their mortgages • and family settlements. During thirty years the whole of these monetary changes upon land must ne cessarily. have been raised in the same degree as the monetary rents of land, How, then, was the land lord to reduce his rent to the ancient metallic level, whilst the law compelled him to discharge his mort gages, and family settlements, and debts and taxes of many kinds, at the paper level ? As I expressed, it at the time, the landlord; " under a penalty of ruin to himself, would be compelled to execute ruin upon his tenants, tenants would be compelled to execute ruin 'upon the labourers, and the unhappy labourers would be ground down into the workhouse, or the grave." 5. This.has been the unhappy fate of tens of thou sands of farmers, and of hundreds of thousands of honest labourers. That it has not been the fate of all, is solely to be ascribed to the monetary relaxations alluded to in my last letter, which are now drawing to an end. 6. But I have spoken of the extraordinary obliquity of intellect among the Jews and lawyers. No doubt it is very strange to hear Hon. Gentlemen crying out, " No depreciation exists;" "The depreciation is only three per cent. and then that the paper money is mere worthless rags," almost in the very same breath. But still it is our duty to place the best in terpretation upon such conduct; and I am fully wil ling to attribute it to ignorance, and to the hallucina tion which imagined interest and passion are calculated to throw over the human judgment. 7. When I was recommending to the House of Commons the necessity of either a reduction or a total abolition of the standard of value, one of these gentlemen, in all other respects a very able and estimable man, had the assurance to cry out " Fraud !" upon which I remarked , to the House, that I should be very much disposed to treat the Hon. Member after the manner of Shakspeare, and that I would say to him, " Here, Jew, thou shalt have thy - gold, bought with the blood and tears of the people. It shall 'be of full weight and full fineness; but it shall be melted gold, and poured down thy throat." 8. Some historians report that. the Queen of the Scythians struck off the head of Cyrus, and threw it into a vessel filled with human blood, exclaiming, " Now glut thyself with that for which thou didst ever thirst." If examples like these are necessary, it is probable that the vessels might be filled with human blood with much less cruelty to mankind than with molten gold. 9. The Jews and lawyers could see no injustice, and no " fraud" in taking advantage of a "Three .per Cent." quibble to double • every tax, and • rent, and debt, and moneyed obligation in the king dom. They could see no crime in halving the em ployment, and in halving the daily wages of hun dreds of thousands of honest workmen at the same time, and thus quadrupling the burdens of industry ; they could see no crime in secretly and fraudulently transferring the burden of the taxes contracted for the defence of property upon 'the shoulders of po verty, . . but the very moment the friends of justice, humanity, and common sense and honesty cry out against these murderous opressions, and insist upon their tieing rectified, or at least arrested, in their mortal career, they are to be met, it seems, by the Times paper with a counter cry of " tyrannous ras cality !' And these really " tyrannous" frauds upon the people are, it seems, to be represented as things . done, • and when once done never to be recalled or overhauled. Indeed! Why the ancient poor-law was a thing done, a literal contract with the poor, when they were induced about two-and-a-half cen turies ago, to give - up their ample share in the na tional property in exchange for it. And yet this great privilege of the poor could be overhauled and undone without difficulty when the plunder of the poor became necessary to protect the property of the rich from the necessary effect of their own Bill of 1819! So, also, the labourers of England have been compelled, during all their lives, to pay taxes and expenses of many kinds for the protection and sup port of property and of law. These payments of the labourers must either have constituted a species of savings banks for their old age, and have given them an additional right to a comfortable and honest main tenance from their country- whenever their labour should fail them ; or they must have been the grossest frauds, and the cruelest oppressions upon the poor. We can overhaul and repeal, it seems, just and equi table laws for the protection of the poor, laid deep in the foundations of nature, sanctioned by the Holy Scriptures, protected by contracts of 2SO years' dura tion, and confirmed by the payment of taxes during a life of industry, economy, and a s car e; seb a few we yearsvery momen t we propose to reconsider arid rectify a frau dulent and destruct ive law, p ago, under the grossest delusions, for the unjust ag grandisement of the rich ; a law, too, which is not yet fi ca ft r h rie p d ar i t nt o o f fu it l s l emffuecrdt,earonudshilaip sauccdu)saedchoafrg"etyirsalainlnoluosst reascocaallittyoi'6. falsehood. enraottioynest Theewome comp leted a P u are d to ity ° be Un happy, indeed, must be the fate of a nation in which irn doctrines like these can prevail—doctrines which make war upon the moral economy of nature, and are cal culated to produce a state of society in which every thing is overturned. " In which Life dies, Death lives, and Nature breeds, Prodigious, all abomin a bl e things," 10. I was once conversing with a nobleman of the highest rank, and distinguished for his virtues, and his well-deserved influence in the nation. He 'said to me, " I do acknowledge that we committed a gigantic error in 1819, but it is now too late to retreat;" upon which remarked, "My Lord, I told you in 1819 that you were committing a gigantic. error—did I not ?" " Yes," said be, " I must honestly acknow ledge. that you did • but I must repeat my opinion, that it is now too late to retreat." t 6 Then, ' said I, "my Lord, mark ! 1 that told you, in 1819, that you were committing a gigantic error, which error you now 'acknowledge, and which error was then remedi able, I tell you, that in saying that it is - now too late to retreat, you commit another error, which error is fatal." " Well," said he, I can't help it to the 11. But the restoration of the standard of valpe, under ,tbe. Bill of 1819, is not a thing done. As. I. hare stated before, the tainperings and Monetary ie• laxations of many kinds have suspended its mortal pressure, and are. at this very inoment.suspending it. Only about one-fifth part of it has beeniy-a.brought to bear upon the nation. It is true, that out of the grinding misery of the last seven years, we' haYe now elaborated and collected sixteen minions staling of bullion, and we are now again just commencing an • other period of short and delusive prosperity, like that of 1824 and that of 1835. Under our present system, every. man who trusts to thiS delusive prosperity, erhi who embarks his capital and industry under confidenc e in it is-certain to be ruined. As the employment of labour increases, and the wages -of 'labour rise, a great part of the *Sixteen - millions of of bullion will be quickly drawn out of the Bank - of England, and be scattered through Out the country in working the great uses of industry, in feeding, clothing, and lodging the people ; and as English pf English' re, so es, a as n d to check encouragec; ektlt oe x t toi• i t l a n t i ion )or t ( a ) tion of foreigreproduce, the remainder of the sixteen millions will inevitably be driven abroad by the arbi trary law of 1819, which binds down, th e p r i ces o f bullion at the ancient level. Then, again, will the contraction consequent ntract the nation will again be plunged into a frightful state of . poverty, ruin, and exasperation. ion of the contractionmet almetallic the paper bef9ll°ledney, up endbY 12. It is difficult to estimate the political results of this next period of depression and distress to which I allude. Unless arrested by timely legislative in- , terference, it is certain to arrive within the next two years. In my petition to the House of Commons, presented in August, 1842, I represented that the principal benefit which I anticipated to the nation froni the great changes (since effected) in the corn and provision laws, was that " of bringing:the owners of land into a community of suffering and of feeling with the unhappy owners of labour, and thereby in daCing them to use their powerful political influence in relieving the common sufferings, and arresting the common dangers, by repealing the fatal Bill of 1819, from which they all- proceed.' . If. experience should prove that the tariff of 1842 has produced this great effect upon the mind of the agricultural interest, I can only express my opinion, that Sir Robert Peel will be entitled to the eternal gratitude of his' eonntry ft is very possible, that without some additional influ ence Of this nature, brought forward to his assistance, he may not have the power to break through the masses of ignorance, prejudice, and interest which surround 'him.. The unhappy structure of humanity.is such, that so long as men are gorged with riches them selves, it is scarcely possible for them to believe in the existence of undeserved poverty in others. As I have often .expressed it, it is not until ruin knocks at their own door ' that the fountains of their hearts are opened, and that, " taught by their own miseries, they learn to feel for the miseries of others." 13. No ! The Bill of 1819 is not yet a thing done. It is, at this moment, under the mask of returning prosperit just commencing " the beginning of the end." When the payment of monetary rent shall have ceased; when the taxes which support the na tional debt shall have been abolished ; and when social order shall have been reduced to the wildest anarchy in England, then the Bill of. 1819 will be " a thing done," but not till then.-4 am, respectfully, Sir, your obedient humble servant, THOMAS ATTWOOD. 34, Connaught -terrace, April 10.

It being the day on which the Queen holds her second raving -room, and there not being any full-dress assembly as usual announced by our leaders of fashion, the applica tions for the first subscription are likely to be exceedingly iitiMerous.

As several noblemen and gentlemen of distinction are pledged to support the Royal Chairman on this occasion, it is expected that this entertain ment will be of peculiar interest. _ _ During Divine service on Sunday, a house in Aber deen was entered by false keys, and a large quantity of silver plate; to the value of SW., was carried off. A house in Dundee was broken into on Sunday, and a quantity of silver plate, of the value of 50/., was stolen. Tuesday information was received at the police-office here, that a in quantity of clothes had.been stolen from a gentleman's house Glasgow, and a description of the thief was also given: Yesterday, 11PLevie, that active criminal officer, succeeded in appre bending the thief in a house in the High street. A pawn ticket for the stolen goods, pledged in Falkirk, was found in the man's possession. : —Edinburqh Courant. MILITARY AFFRAY AT WINCIIESTER.-A, serious affray, which caused great alarm amongst the inhabitants, took place at Winchester on Sunday evening last, about eight o'clock, between the privates of the let battalion of Grenadier Guards (recently from Windsor) and the '44th Regiment of Foot. A quarrel having occurred at a public house between two men belonging to each regiment, the affair was taken up•by their respective comrades, to the number of between 300 and 400 on either side, and, from the severe blows which were exchanged, fatal consequences were expected to ensue. Piquets from each regiment, amounting to 300 men, with fixed bayonets, under the com mand of captains and subalterns, were immediately ordered out; but it was upwards of two hours before the whOle of the men could be captured and secured within their respective barracks. .We understand that several who were seriously injured are now confined to the hospital. The 4-4th Regi ment is 900 strong, and the Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards about 700. It is expected that one of the regiments will be ordered into another district. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN ST. JAMES'S PARIC.—OR Sunday afternoOn, between three and four o'clock, a.married female, named Mary Shoulder, of 22, Whitcornb , sti eet. Leicester-square, threw herself into the ornamental water in the enclosure of St. James's Park, near the residence of the keeper. The latter, on being made acquainted with the circumstance, instantly repaired to the spot, and with a rake succeeded in dragging her ashore as she was sinking a se cond time 'in deep water. She was conveyed to West minster Hospital, and was on M on d ay ena bl ed to leave the institution. Distress is the cause assigned. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE OF INMATES.—Yesterday morning, between the hours of two and three, a destructive fire broke out in the premises occupied by the undermentioned persons :—Mr. Barnes, Mrs. Butt. and Mr. Stoddart, situate at No. 5, Upper Rosamond -street. Clerkenwell. Police-constable G 149, in passing along his beat, perceived smoke issuing out of the kitchen on the base ment floor. The officer immediately sprang his rattle, and raised the necessary alarm ; but such a strong hold had the flames obtained, that they travelled with surprising rapidity, quickly enveloping the whole of the lower floor of the building. At that time there were from twelve to fourteen persons asleep in the premises. After some trouble, the con stable succeeded in arousing the whole of the inmates, but by the time he had accomplished that object the names had reached the staircase, and were fast ascending to the different apartments. At first the destruction of the whole of the inmntes appeared inevitable ; but Ser geant Clarke, with a number of private constables, rushed into the e he residents.hotlhouse, and d The sue fl c ateed in s duringsa saving, rapid progress, and no sooner had the inmates taken g t eone timeb3 one, wc r etheh makingo shelterle o windows, and illuminated the whole neighbourhood.t.ous with intelli in the adjoining house, than the fire broke through m t e lLe sengers laving been sent to the engine-stations e the e C g o r t parish were at the scene with a m and also the West with Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent, gence of the outbreak, with all proni im pt in i be ti s ill a e of e l b n r g i i g n a e d s e f en ro o m in t e h si e greater portion g A I a n n a d b a u i r i d l set to work, and a great stream portion of the engines were t o o f n E . a C nT i e n o t f Y n e • water being the o fo o r n in ( e ) obtained, e h d flaming premises; which soon extinguished the conflagration, of the antagonist element was thrown upon and into the but not ‘ S q u e p a e t r . s i e n r t ‘ e , n ic el e en to t before c t d h i 0 buildingt total l a i n o d s s i t m s u c s o t n b t e e n c t o s n l s v i e d r e e ra a b l l n e i o ; t a enn tirely COnSUM d, to add to theinisfortu ne, no n e of the persons were insured.

Flower, of 3, Belgrave t t Pimlico, -s ree , leo said, that at half-past two p.m., on Saturday last, washe ' walking la Ken sington-gardens, on the south bank of the Serpentine,and observed deceasd pass him in a hurried Manner, and . appa.- rently disturbed in her mind. The moment she had passed him he heard her say, "I'll never forgive him." She then stopped, looked at him, and he passed her. Afterwards she turned round, and passed him again, still uttering the same sentence as before. She then went towards the Seipentine bridge, and he lost sight of her. Master I'. W. Scott, of 47, Lincoln's Inn-fields, deposed to finding a parasol,' since proved to have been deceased's, standing against the bottom of the bridge near the water side, on the north. He afterwards saw the body of deceased floating on the water in the centre of the first arch on the north side. He gave information 'at the ree,eivin; , ' -house 'of the' Royal Humane Society. Wm. Wodhop, chief boatman of the Society, proved getting the body out of the water at the spot indicated by the last wit ness. Mr. Wooley, surgeon to the Society, tried to restore life, but without succeeding. Witness was.Of opinion that deceased had not accidentally fallen into the water.- Mr. Samuel Clements, of No. 2, Conduit-street, Bayswater, said deceased was his sister-in-law, and resided in Warren-street.
