Henry Blitz, a person who spoke with a foreign accent, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the cus tody of Spittle, the officer, upon the charge of having committed a forgery upon the London Joint-Stock Bank. Mr. Tilson appeared as solicitor to the bank. The prisoner was not defended by a professional man. Mr. T. M. C. Kay, cashier of the London Joint-Stock Bank in Prince's-street, said—The prisoner presented the cheque I produce for 3361. on the 22d inst., at the counter, at a quarter past 12 o'clock. It purports to be drawn by H. D. Wells and Co., who keep an account at our house. I asked the prisoner what he would have, meaning in what way the cheque should be cashed? He put down a paper, which I produce, containing the words, " A 2001. note ; rest, gold." The paper of the cheque is one of our forms. We know to whom the num ber was issued. I asked him from whom he came ; and his answer was "From Mr. Simpson's, Spital-square." He was then given into custody. I detected the cheque as a forgery. Mr. Hubert T. Wells, a partner in the house of H. D. Wells and Co., Deptford, wood dealers, said—We keep an account with the London Joint-Stock Bank. Ido not know the prisoner. The cheque was not drawn either by my brother or myself, nor was it written by the authority of either of us. Spittle, the officer, said—l was sent for to the Lon don Joint-Stock BAnk and saw the prisoner in the manager's room. He said that he had advertised for a situation about a fortnight, and that on the 19th he received in answer a letter of which the following is a copy:— "Dec. 19, 1851. " Sir,—About a fortnight ago I saw in the Times ' A. Bs' advertisement: If he should be still disengaged and would call to-morrow morning at ten o'clock at Water-lane, Thames-street, he would hear of some employment that might suit him. A. B.' will have to iequire of the waiter for Mr. Simpson." He said that he called accordingly at Water-lane on Saturday morning, at ten o'clock, and saw there a per son who represented himself as Mr. Simpson, and de sired him to call again on Monday, not being then dis posed to enter into any arrangement; that be left his references with Mr. Simpson, and called on the 21st inst. at the Ship Tavern, and inquired for Mr. Simpson, and was told by the waiter that the gentleman was not there ; that he then came out, and, on turning the corner of the street, he met the person whom he had seen on Saturday as Mr. Simpson, and who said he was very busy, and the prisoner must accompany him to the Corn Exchange, in Mark-lane; that he then received five sovereigns from Mr. Simpson, with directions to take them to the B ink of England and get a Si. note for them, and that if he should be asked for whom it was, he'should say " for Mr. Simpson, 7, Spital-square;" that he obtained the 51. note and took it to Mr. Simpson, who then gave idea the cheque produced, and also the piece of paper which had been written upon, and directed him to take them to the London Joint-Stock Bank. The prisoner further stated that ho had made no arrangement with Nre.'Simpson on the Saturday' as to the kilid olduties he wai to pertorm. I went with him to the Corn Exchange, and wo lo9ked for Mr. Simpson, but could not find him, and I afterwards searched the prisoner's lodgings, but found nothing. relating to this case. .1 found a pocket book upon his person containing memoranda and four teen doplicaks. The prisoner—l em quite innocent. It is like a dream to ine. He told me to go and get the money. I supposed it was to prove my honesty, and ho told me to bring him the money to the Corn Exchange. The Loan MAYOR consented to remand the prisoner for a few days, and the prisoner, whose explanation teemed to excite surprise, but not at all to allay suspi cion, went from the bar protesting his perfect innocence. Peter Prosser Corregan was charged with having robte d his employer, Mr. Thomas Rolfe, of Great St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, wine cooper, of 351.—Committed tor trial. WORSHIP-STREET.

Pavilion Theatre, who, while engaged in c.vorsation at the end of Baker's. row, Whitechapel, were suddenly set upon by the prisoners and their con federate, struck to the ground repeatedly by violent blows in the face, and otherwise so seriously injured that one of them, Mr. Hyman, was scarcely able to ap pear and give his testimony. The prisoners were then r,manded tor the depo:o.tions to be taker, and upon bring again brought up, and it being announced that Mr. Hy man, from the severity of one ,of the injuries he had suitained,would be incapable for some time of attending, they were locked up in one of the cello, in company of several other men under remand or committal for various effences. Only a short time elapsed, however, after they had been placed there, when a loud outcry was raised trcm the cell that one of the prisoners was cutting his throat, and upon Alderman, the gaoler, has tening there, he found the man Donovan seated upon the bench and holding his neck, in which there were two shocking gashes, extending nearly the whole width of his throat, with the blood pouring so profusely from the wounds that his arms were s'ained down to the elbows. It then appeared that Donovan, upon entering the cell, became very dispirited, and having obtained a clasp knife from one of the men he was confined with, under the pretence of cutting off a worn piece of his shoe, im mediately turned round and commenced sawing at his throat with the blade, ,the edge of which was fortu nately very dull, when the blood was caught sight of by one of his fellow - pr isoners, who raised an alarm, and, after a violent strugg le, he was disarmed. A neighbour ing surgeon was sent for, who dressed the wounds, and pronounced them not to be fatal, and the prisoner, who sullenly expressed his determination to complete the act on the first opportunity that presented itself, was trans , furred to the infirmary of the House of Detention. LORD PALMERSTON. The fall of Lord Palmerston, which was announced on Wednesday, took the country completely by surprise. It had been long rumoured that theta was a feud between him and the Grey section of the Cabinet—it was even ass:-Ited that Sir Charles Wood declared he would never sit with him in Council again. It was well known that he was hated by all the despotic powers of Europe. simply because ho was too liberal and too clever for them, and we had just learned that di fficult y had arisen with Austria in respect of some expression of his relative to Kossuth. But his character as a statesman, his ability as a debater, and his popularity with the people, all stood so high, that it was believed Lord John Russell would have sacrificed a hecatomb of Greys rather than one Lord Palmerston; and as to throwing him over as a sop of reconciliation to Austria, an act of that kind would be received with such indignation in this country that it was hardly pos,ible the Premier, however pressed, `could venture to adopt it. Still these were at the mo went the only two causes to which conjecture could trace SO sudden and significant an event; and the fall of the veteran statesman whose name has been so long con nected with the foreign policy of this empire, was at trihoted partly to personal intrigue, and partly to a dis poipiuo in the British Government to succumb to the dietatitm of th ,, se who with the strong hand of• military p )wer are lording it so arbitrarily and so haughtily over nearly the whole of Europe.— Essex Herald. MONEY MARKLT.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about par Gecording to: the new tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.20, it follows that gold is about 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 426 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.5 a ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.61, it follows that gold is 0.61 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.80 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for difference of i interest and charges of transport; the present rate' leaves a Small profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

Esquires of the King's body, whose number is limited to four. 2. The eldest sons of Knights, and their eldest eons born during their lifetime. It would seem that, in the days of ancient warfare, the Knight often took his eldest son into the wars for the purpose of giving him a practical military education, employing him meanwhile as his esquire. 3. The eldest sons of the youngest sons of Peers of the realm. 4. Such as the King invests with the collar of SS, including the king of arms, heralds, &c. The dignity of esquire was conferred by Henry IV. and his succes sors, by the investiture of the collar and the gift of a pair of silver spurs. Gower, the poet, was such an esquire by creation. 5. &quires to the Knights of the Bath, for life, and their *Melt sons. 6. Sheriffs of counties, for life, coroners and justices of the peace, and gptitlemcn of the royal household, while they continue in their respective offices. 7. Barristers-at. law, doctors of divinity-, law, and medicines, mayors of towns, and some others, are said to be of icutarial dignity, but not actual esquires. Supposing this enumeration to comprise all who are entitled to esquireshiro, it will be evident that thousands of parties styled esquires are not so in reality. It is a prevailing error that persons possessed of 3,000/. a year in land are esquires, but an estate of 50,0001. would not confer the dignity. Nothing but one or other of the conditions above mentioned is ffi SU CIOUL— C urio sities of Heraldry. Mr. Alderman Salomons, up , and Mr. B. Oliveira have been in P ar i s f or some days, with the object of endeavouring to obt a i n some arrangement by which the Bordeaux and C e tt e , and Lyons and Avignon caution money may be eith er returned or taken i nto consideration in the concessi on o f any of the great lines o f railway still re maining to be constructed.

The ball and set Mr. J. MUST°, the Chairman of the crowded. xecutive Council, having been called on to presid e opened opened the business of the evening, and said ,thbriefly consequence of stat emen t s w hi c h had appeared that, in papers, it was deem e d a d v i sa bl e t h at a public me rl e the should be called, t o g i ve th e executive council of the society an opportunity of explaining to the public the position in which the society stood, and the proceed ings that had been taken. Mr. Newton give would that explanation. Mr. NEWTON, who was received with loud cheers, said that their proceedings, as at first adopted, were not perhaps intended to engage so much of the atten tion of the public as they had done, nor would the council have forced themselves forward as they now dii, but for misrepresentations of their objects and intentions. The combination of employers started at Manchester was either misled by the statement of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt, of Oldham, or was based upon known truths; but the combination was formed upon the ground that the workmen of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt were about to do an act of injus tice to their employers. The matter had been dis cussed in the newspapers, and the societ • had been represented us insisting—(l) upo. ;.'- ..lition of watematic overtime,". and (2) t *nun: of " piece-worki" (3) with • claimi.. .: `ttiiiaters should at once and without reserve discharge the class of persons engaged in and long trained to the working of self-acting machines, and employ in their dead mechanics, members of the union ; and further (4), according to " Amiens," " the council were pre pared to advocate an equalization of the rate of wages; to lend themselves, in fact, to an agitation for a trial of the ingenious doctrines of M. Louis Blanc." Now, the first two of these • propositions were the propositions of the society.—(gear, hear.) The third was never made by them, and the intention at tributed to them of equalising wages was as foreign to their objects and general opinions as anything could be.—(Hear.) They disavowed all intention of removing any persons at present in employment-- (Hear, thear)—there was nothing in the present proceedings of the council that expressed or im plied any such intention ' • they had never as k e d for the removal of a man from a machine, who was working at it, who had earned a title to work at it by the time he had been employed at it • and, so f ar from the opinions of th e i r mem b ers being against those men, they had fostered and encouraged them.— (Hear, hear.) But here it would be necessary to refer to proceedings some months ago. There was in May a dispute between Messrs. Hibbert and Platt and their workmen, who demanded the abolition of over time, and asked for the discharge of a certain number of men they called illegal men, and he (Mr. Newton), at the request of the workmen, went down to medi a t e in the matter. Ultimately Mr. Platt agreed to the following propositions : " 1. That in future all planing, slotting, shaping, and boring machines, at the workshop of the undersigned, be worked either by mechanics or apprentices, to be taken up by them as they fall vacant. "2. That the labourers at present employed upon those machines be not unduly interfered with before Christmas, 1851, when the machines shall fall entirely into the hands of the mechanics,. but if any of the labourers are discharged, or the machines otherwise be come vacant, the vacancies shall be filled up by the mechanics as they occur. "3. That Michael Benard have taken from him all authority over workmen in our employ, and that all illegal hands be discharged ; we further say that we dis approve of the practice alleged against Benard, and pledge ourselves that they shall not again be repeated." Systematic overtime was also to be abolished. But Mr. Platt said, that though he was content to agree to these resolutions, he had no guarantee that the men would make the same conditions with other employers; and he wrote out another articles—" That if the ma jority of legal shops in the same line of business refuse to concede the above requests, at the expiration of three years from the date of these resolutions, the question be again open for discussion." So that he actually made an exaction from the men that they should force these resolutions upon other employers. —(Cheers.) He (Mr. Newton) left Oldham with 1 the distinct understanding that the agreement was to come into operation at Christmas.—(Bear, hear.) The question of overtime was settled in Manchester on the Ist of November, before this agitation on the part of the employers was raised against it.—(Bear, hear.) The combination of employers was in conse quence of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt knowing that the agreement was to be fulfilled at Christmas, and the object was to prevent its being fulfilled. Whether it was to be fulfilled or not vita a question only for the Oldham men; it was not a question for this society.—(Hear, hear.) He had written to Mr. Platt, a fortnight ago, representing that he was not treating his men fairly in identifying himself with the combination at Manchester, and Mr. Platt answered that he approved of the document at the time, and should have carried it into effect, but that the workmen had broken it themselves in July last. The men in July made some resistance on the ground that the condition had not been ful tiled which related to Benard, who was a sort of middle-man, taking a quantity of piecework and em ploying his fellow - men to doit—what the tailors would call "a sweater"—(Hear, hear)—he was most despotic and tyrannical, and Mr. Platt had said the system should not continue.—(Hear, hear.) But the society had nothing to do with all this, and had never taken part in the proceeding. He himself attended at 01 inam in his individual capacity to try to pre vent a " strike," which must be attended with so much misery.— (Hear, hear.) The question was be tween Messrs. Hibbert and Platt and their workmen ; the society were determined not to be dragged into the dispute.—(Hear.) They disavowed all attempts to remove men from machines ; they had no such in tention. Their disposition was to make common cause with such men, and assist them, rather than they should be thrown idle upon the world.— (Hear, hear.) Neither had the society any in tention to try to equalize wages themselves with the agricultural labourer.—(Hear.) What they sought was a fair opportunity for every working man, as far as practicable, to use his labour.—Hear.) They de sired to make it less precarious by regulating the work there was to be done.—(Hear, hear.) As to identifying themselves with Socialists and Com• =mists, they had no connexion with any political, social, or religious party, and they advocated their own views, not because Louis Blanc advocated them (is he did), but because experience taught them that it was necessary some change should be made in order to elevate their social condition.— (Hear, hear.) What, then, was it that they asked ? That overtime be abolished—time worked over and above six days per week of ten hours per day (or, at least 68i hours per week), which they held as a principle to be the proper time to labour when there was labour to be performed—(Hear, hear)—and they held that a man ought to be able, by six days' labour, to earn sufficient to keep himself and his family.— (Hear, hear.) The society did not ask for a reduc tion of those hours, but only that a man should be allowed to leave his work when his days' labour was done. The present practice of working overtime was an evil physically, morally, intellectually, and socially. The workmen felt this fifteen years ago, and held meetings about it, and an agreement was come to as to the rate of payment for overtime. It was not uncommon for men to work for weeks' to gether from four or six in the morning till ten at night.—(Hear, hear.) A man could not do justice to his employers at such hours; his health was injured by it ; a number of men were left idle through it ; and the workman had no opportunities of improve ment.—(Hear, hear.) Why, but from the long hours of work, had mechanics' institutes proved such a dead failure ?—(Hear, hear.) But Mr. Scott Russell said that the men were not forced to work overtime. But, indeed, they were.—(Hear hear.) If a man declined, he was imme di a t e ly dis charged.—(Hear, hear.) That was co mpulsion ; he comp saw on the one s id e of him excess i ve l a b o ur, and on other starvation. (TT ear hear.) There were scores who had been clichar e d because they refuted to work overtime.—(H ear, he •) Th e workmen found that individual refus a l w as individual sacrafice , and that it must be g enera ] ; and they bad come to that conclu sion -12 ,000 of them.—(Cheers.) If Mr. Russell had employers to have his as sertion put into inflUence enough with the General practice, he would hear no withregard to • for all of this agitation more t h a t was asked was that men should be at liberty to d e cline it if they liked, and not punished for working only six days a week.—(Hear, hear.) a hen as to the other question—piecework—the public thought that every man had a right to make the most he could of his superior ability and expertness. Granted ; piece work was not objected ,to, but only the manner in which it was now carried out. Let it be done by con-. tract between employers and employed, as in a con tract between them and their customers, and no man would object. But a piece of work was brought into the workshop, and a man was told he must do it for heif You m suasitd dhue-citouulrd n le o u t v d e, o it forthagti,Thee you 3 uslidaltat shall • u.e."—(Hear, hear.) h ar e b e i r t .) rary The a Was that right, r u e th w or a i s ty n o s c l s o o n n. labour with regard to the price to be paid ( e )n n e xtehre ; the man was never asked his opinion, and if ejected was told that the employer i° ion, not dictated to"—he was to be the sole judge.--(Elear ear.) The gentlemen of the press were. before hitu they knew whether compositors were thus treated: No ; they had a book price. If the employers would establish a board, and allow the workmen to establish their board, and let the question be settled between them, there would be no objection to piecework ; but as it was it gave the men less than their ordinary. wages. The men would abide by the decision of in dependent parties.—(Hear, hear.) Let persons be appointed whose whole soul was not wrapped up i n commercial speculation —men who had identifie themselves not m ere l y w i th the commercial progress but also with the progress of the industrial classes—, such men as Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Carlisle, Lord R. Grosvenor, and the Hon. A. Kinnaird.—(Hear, hear.) By their judgment the men would be willing to be governed.—(Hear, hear.) As to the charge of being opposed to the introduction of machinery, there was no class of men who more promoted its introduction • they were co n ti nua ll y improving ma chinery.—(Hear.) Let it not be said that " the Council of Seven were dictating terms." The move - nignt was instituted by the meeting of sixty delegates at Birtningharn, in September, 1850, who passed re solutions deprec a ti ng piece -work and overtime as systematic practices; circulars were sent out to ascertain the opinions of the society; and out of 12,000, only 16 votes came in for those practices.— (Hear, hear.) ,Employers said the proceedi ng was dictatorial. If a question arose in the workshop, and siN a d , ption w ent to the employers, they were gene rally ~...barged; a n d if men not connected with the workshop were sent, th e y w ere asked what bu siness they b a d to interfere ?—(Hear, hear.) If employers were so exclusive, a n d refused to hear their workpeople and listen to their grievances, they must expect that, wi t h o ppression after op pression, and petty despotism of foremen and ma nagers, perhaps unknown to those employ"— (Um-, hear)—if they treated it all with eonteipt 'and' disdain, the feelirig farm olekisitaltetWr 111 known in some tangible form, as it was doing n ew._— (Hear.) The men were told they intended to strike on the Ist. Nothing was further frorn their intention. —(Hear.) There was no such thing contemplated in the north.—(Hear.) It was only intended that the workman should exercise his right of leavin g when his day's labour was done; and if the employers said any man might do so, it was all that was required.— (Hear, hear.) If any man thought proper to work overtime, let him do so.—(Hear, hear.) Whether the employers would close their works on the 10th he could not say; but after this explanation they would incur a very heavy responsibility in throwing so many men upon the poor-rates, or refusing them , relief at the risk of anarchy and confusion.—(Hear, hear.) The men knew they w e r e i n th e r i g h t, and were willing to be guided by p ublic opinion. Th ey were ready to submit the matter to any i mpart i al tribunal.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. BRADDON then addressed a few words to the mee ting, and moved— " That, having heard the statement made upon the part of the council of the Amalgamated Society, this meeting is perfectl y satisfied that the acts and intentions of the council have been publicly misrepresented, and that it has never demanded of the employers either dis continuance of the use of machinery of any kind, or tho discharge of the workmen employed at machines." Mr. G. Usnea, seconded the motion, and dwelt upon the extreme evil of protracted labour. Mr. ERNEST JONES then attempted to address the meeting, but there was a very strong and general opposition to his being heard. He said he bad studied the relations of labour and capital, and he thought be ought not to be put down ; it was necessary the men should understand their position and their streegth. Mr. NEWTON appealed to him on the score of the adverse feeling of the meeting, and the danger that their enemies would make a handle of his presence. Mr. JONES retorted that he did not consider his presence so remarkably objectionable or disgraceful. He was proceeding to make some remarks on the results of machinery upon labour, but the storm of groans and hi sses was so overw h elm i ng that he was obliged to retire. Mr. J. Comas said he agreed with Mr. Newton on the evils of the practice of systematic overtime, but be thought the present extra payment for it was a suf ficient check, and that there ought not to be a claim to double time ; and he considered that the question was settled with the masters in 1836, and that the men who were then in London could not depart from that agreement without a breach of faith. He would move an addition to the resolution - to that effect.—(Hisses.) He could not agree in Mr. Newton's statement as to deputations to the masters ; he had himself been above twenty years in the employ of Messrs. Miller and Ravenbill, and had been to then on deputations many times, and, instead of being discharged for it, bad always been treated with kindness and with re spect due to his position.—(llear, hear.) As to piece work, he had worked piecework, but had never been compelled to take it ; when he had disliked the terms he had been allowed to do the work upon common daytime. Mr. lioskrNs seconded the amendment, and said there was work which could not be done except by overtime.—(Hear, hear.) Systematic overtime was doubtless an evil, and nine-tenths of the practice—in fact, the system—might easily be abolished. He could not think the demand for double time just. The amendment was then put and negatived, and the original motion carried by a large majority. Mr. HEMM, of Manchester, who said he came for ward as a witness, confirmed Mr. Newton's account of the Oldham dispute, and said the origin of it was that Messrs. Hibbert and Platt had purchased a ma chine for boring, and the men were afraid the work was going to be taken out of their hands, and the machine worked by men not brought up to the trade ; but that led to other points being also raised. But it was entirely a dispute between Messrs. Hibbert and Platt and their workmen. He would add that, in Manchester, the men decided to do away with overtime before the council came to the resolu tion ' • and a great porti on o f th e emp l oyers agreed with the men, and had done away with it, though there were some few exceptions.—(Hear, hear.) There would be no objection to piecework if it was carried on honourably ; but a man was not asked whe ther he could do it at the price named, but told he must do it or leave.—(Heart) If men managed, by excessive labour, to earn more than regular wages by it, they had been offered so much less the next time for the same job.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. POTTS moved— " That this meeting is fully convi nce d that neither the Executive Council nor the members of the Amalgsmatud Society of Engineers, &c , contemplate a strike on the lit of January, 1852; and that the assertions put for ward to that effect are entirely untrue." He proc ee d e d t o comme nt upon the conduct o f some of the sp ea k ers et the meeting of employers of lab our on and complained that w h en th e woelLdneeosfdY last, one 3 l o a fihem left him in 1849, on his pro posing a reduction of wages, he sent no ti ce t o ot h er employers, that they might not take them on. An other of these gentlemen refused to remove to a dis tance from the engineering department some lead works, which were injurious to health. If employers paid so little attention to the welfare of their men, they ought not to demand from the men entire obedience to their will, nor could they expect from them any thing beyond what was their duty to themselves—self-pro tection. Mr. W. BROWN seconded the carried unanimously. motio n , and it was Mr. NEWTON said the soceity had appealed to the public, and would wait their decision.
