SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University 01 Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. II AY be consulted, personally ' or by letter, on the various disorders of th e nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularlles and excesses, which have pro- Sneed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps a n y o th er class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience i disa to pp w o h l rni o miseries habits,at in the treatment of these dLeases has proved that disappointed hopes in there are in exist een.cisetesneccreeArcaacuesaebsl s p e e d o e f to seli cer a t e a q i u n g Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there re principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in then reatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qalified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1 /., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It Is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

An increase to this amount has been granted to the army in similar cases by Queen's warrant of 19th December, 1845. "Men who enter for a period of ten years' continuous and general service, and complete the time, to be awarded (in granting pensions) the increased allowance for time served as petty officers to which n on-commissioned offi cers of Marines (who enlisted after the Ist August, 1847) are entitled, under the authority of her Majesty's order in Council of the 15th of January, 1849. The eventual expense that will probably be entailed by this' proposi tion may be estimated at about 4,0001. a year. " All men who enter for continuance and general ser- ' vice to be allowed to count time for pension from the age of eighteen (as in the Army and Royal Marines), in stead of twenty, as is at present the case in the naval service. " Pensions to be hereafter awarded to continuous and general service men after twenty years' ser% Ice, instead of twenty-one as at present. A discretionary power to be vested in the Board of Admiralty as regards the appli cation of this rule to men who have served or are serving in the naNi , under the present system. "In the event of an armament being required, my lords consider it important that this department should have the command of the services of a certain number of trained seamen, in addition to those borne on the peace establishment. They recommend, therefore, Oat men who shall hereafter be granted pensions for ser vice to be held liable, under the thirteenth clause of the pension regulations (dated Ist January, 1849), to give further service, if required, to meet the exigencies of an armament or of war ; and in order to increase the number of men thus available, they propose that seamen who have served ten years in the navy, reckon ing from the age of eighteen, be granted pensions of 6d. a day each, and men with fifteen years service pensions of Bd. a day each, both classes being held liable to give further service if called upon in the event of an armament or of war. They do n ot, h owev er, propose to grant men with ten and fifteen years' service, pensions at present ; but to reserve to the Board of Admiralty a discretionary power for this purpose, w henever the state of the force in commission shall lead them to think that such a step may be taken with advantage. " The manning committee have so fully statod the rea sons which point to the expediency of increasing the pay of the warrant officers of the fleet, that my lords do not consider it necessary to enter further into them. It must be remembered that these situations are the highest to which the seamen and petty officers of the fleet can expect to attain ; and it is important, in a corres ponding degree, that they should be sought afters and filled by the most active and deserving men. The im portance of the duties performed by the warrant officers , cannot be exaggerated, Considering also that the war- 4. 5221.287di No. 18,921.] DR. FORBES'S NEW WORK.

THE WAY TO WIN—To win affections, to win fame, to win a fortune by industry or by business transac tions—in fact, to win without risk or inconvenience—is one of the happiest events on which we can calculate. Every one is aware of the power which appearance has in gaining the most desirable ob jects, and every person is convinced that success is often decided by the garments in which they are arrayed. "PROPERLY DRESSED," " VERY RESPECTABLY ATTIRED," are the most prominent parts of an interesting description. Thus the CLOTHING BUM NEiS is the first and foremost in the circle of trade, and on its right management the success and comfort of millions in an important measure depends. Therefore, all tasteless, comfortless, and fashion less CLOTIII N G is an infliction on the patience and pockets of the public. But E. MOSES and SON have won universal and ceaseless fame by business transactions beneficia Ito every class—for the NOBLEMAN every order of ATTIRE required, or for his servants LIVERIES to any design—for the MERCHANT, CLERK, or MECHANIC, the best and most suitable, and at the same time the cheapest, goods are presented. The Holiday Dress for 'Youths and others provided by E. MOSES and SON exhibits novelty in Materials and magnificence in Style and Workmanship, which has no parallel is this or any other country, aud, as usual, the prices are much lower than are charged elsewhere.

The Emigrant's right course is to get a good Ship and a good stock of suitable Clothing: the former is required for his safety, and the latter for his comfort and success. A good Ship may be had in most places, but a good Outfit only in one Establishment—that is, E. MOSES and SON'S. Shipping information is furnished without any charge, and Outfits are speedily arranged for any profession and o'cupation for considerably less money than others charge, and at the same time the articles are better in quality than any obtained elsewhere.

HITSUNTIDE is a season which invariably creates a universal demand for dress; and, owing to this circumstance, the most flattering inducements are held out to the public. " Economy " and "quality" become by-words, and every tradesman professes to out-do his competitor. L. HYAM, however, is not apprehensive of any adverse influence being thus produced knowing as he does the extent, variety, novelty, excellence, and cheapness of his Whitsuntide preparations. The proprietor is desirous of impressing on the public the fact that he has prepared a variety of NEW MATERIITA FOR WHITSUNTIDE. L. Ilyam's Establishment is replenished with a stock of Llama Cloths, Venetian Cloths, Undressed Tweeds, Mixed Cloths, Poplins, Cashmerrettes, Alpacas, Meknes, Gore Silks, Cassinetts, Saxony Cloths, West of England Cloths, Kerseymeres, Doeskins, Angolas, Figured Drills, Velvets, Silks, Satins, Melton Fabrics, and an infinite variety of the newly-invented materials pectoiar to the present sea son. In designing and manufacturing the above goods into NEW GARMENTS FOR WHITSUNTIDE. L. Hyam has taken especial care to incorporate all the late im provements which public taste and experience have suggasted ; and the proprietor flatters himself that the high reputation of his City Establishment is greatly enhanced by the elegant end superior as sortment of dress now on sale. The Melton Oxonians are deserving of special recommendation, being novel, fashionable, and really ex cellent in quality. A splendid stock of Juvenile Attire may now be selected :torn, and parents and guardians are assured that their requirements will be amply supplied at this season of fashion and fair weather. OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch•street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi hess carried on by L.

"In the cases of warrant officers of long service, and of exemplary character and conduct, my lords recom mend that two years' harbour service should, in award ing pensions, be considered as equal to one year's sea service, in lieu of the proportion of three to one, as at present; "Having reference to the increased responsibility at taching to the situations of commissioned and chief boat men, their lordships recommend that time served in the former capacity should count as first class, and in the latter as second-class petty officer's time, in awarding pensions ; and whereas coast-guard men from the naval service are now entitled to higher gratuities than seamen it appears desirable that the former should be placed on the same footing as the latter. "An estimate is transmitted herewith from the Ac countant-General of the Navy, showing the total ex pence that will eventually be incurred by the proposed increase of 'pay to the warrant officers-petty: officers,. and seamen of the fleet. The sum that *ill be required for the ensuing financial year will not, probably exceed 55,000/. ;and it is estimated that the surplus under vote No. 1, of the naval estimates, will be sufficient. at the close of the next financial year, to meet this additional expense. _ _ " The pay has been voted for the whole number of men from the sth of April next. The number entered falls short of the number voted to a considerable extent; and the deficient number will not probably be completed for four or five months. Hence arises the estimated surplus sufficient to cover the increase of charge for the ensuing year. A large proportion of the i ncrease d p a y and allowances is contingent on the voluntary adoption by the seamen of the altered terms of entry and of ser vice. " Considering the sreat national importance of the objects to be attained,hy the proposed measures, the increased maritime starogth which will be gained, when they shall have proved otweesful ; considering also the necessity of increasing ti may of the royal navy to a rate more nearly corresppyding to that of the American and merchant services, %Apple earnestly hope that the above expense will be freey.sanctioned by her Majesty's Government ; and they- request you will accordingly move the Lords of the Treasury to signify their early concurrence therein, in order that the necessary steps may be taken without loss of time, for bringing the pro posed measures under the consideration of her Majesty in Council, before they are brought to the notice of Par liament. "My lords request to be favoured with an answer to thin letter at the earliest possible period.--I have, &c., (Signed) " R. OSBORNE." "James Wilson, Esq., M.P., &c., Treasury. INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMMITTEE.—The subjects re ferred to the consideration of the committee were : _ 'l. The entry and training of boys and seamen, and the periods of service for which they are engaged. 2. Whether such periods, of service could be advan tageously extended ; and the regulations which it would be advisable in such case to adopt. 3, The practicability of permanently retaining the ser vices of boys and seamen, as is the case with the Royal Marines, so as to ensure the means of rapidly manning her Majesty's ships when required for service. 4. Whether a period of service abroad might be fol lowed by a period of service at home, in the coast guard, dockyards, or home ports. 5. Whether a reserve of seamen might - not be orga to remain in England, reference being had to the scheme recently laid before Parliament for that purpose. 6. What measures could be adopted at the present time in order to secure the services of a large body of seamen for the defence and general service of the coun try, in a case of emergency. 7. The questions of pay and prize money, and espe cially the clause of the Act 5 and 6 Will. IV., cap. 24, relating to bounty. 8. All regulations at present in force relative to petty officers and seamen gunners. 9. The award of good-conduct badges and of pensions. 10. The entry of seamen into the coast guard and dockyards. 11. The admission of seamen into Greenwich Hospi tal, and their support therein. The committee's recommendations comprise the fol lowing BOYS OF THE SECOND CLASS.—They propose that the age of eighteen (instead of twenty, as at present) should be the age from which boys and seamen, entering the navy under the new system, should be allowed to count their time for pay and pensions, according to the rule now in force in the Royal Marines, under the pro visions of the act 10 and 11 Vic., cap. 63. All boys under the age of eighteen, who hereafter enter the navy, to be required to engage for a period of ten years' con tinuous and general service from the above age, in addi tion to whatever periods may be necessary until they at tain that age, which is the course now followed in the case of boys who enter the coips of the Royal Marines —thus, a boy entered at fourteen, would be required to engage for a term of fourteen years' service. They deem it advisable that the entry of boys and seamen should be as general as possible throughout the United Kingdom, and that particular attention be given to obtaining a more equal proportion from Scotland, the population of which, from their hardy habits and steady character, are well adapted for the naval service. BOYS OF THE FIRST CLASS. —The qualification which should be required for boys entering in this class is, that they should have been at sea, or have been accus tomed to boats, although this qualification should not be held to be indispensable in the case of promising lads who are found fit for service in other respects. Good conduct badges should be given, the time they are worn being allowed to count towards seamen's time for good conduct badge and pay in the proportion of two years' boy's time to one year's man's time, and promotion should be given to the rating of second-class ordinary or ordinary seamen in special cases of good conduct and ability in boys at the age of eighteen ; whilst discharge by purchase should be permitted upon a graduated scale, according to length of service, &c. SEAMEN.—The committee recommend that, first, petty officers and seamen who volunteer for a period of ten years' continuous and general service, to have the highest advantages of pay and short-term pensions here after mentioned, time being counted from the age of eighteen, and to be eligible for every reward open to deserving seamen ; secondly, seamen may also be en tered as heretofore under the provisions of the act sth and 6th Will. IV., c. 24, which renders them liable to be retained for five years' service, and subject to re moval from one ship to another during that period, at the discretion of the Admiralty or Commander-in-Chief, to meet the•unavoidable and urgent requirements of the service ; the pay and pensions of seamen under this head to be at the rates hereafter proposed. Servants, musicians, bandsmen, barbers, and tailors should be always be entered under the said act, and not be con sidered as forming a part of the permanent navy. The triennial period of service should be adhered to where the public service admits of it, and when the period of service is temporarily extended under emergency, the seaman's pay should be proportionably increased. Bounties should be granted to volunteers in time of peace ; and the wages of seamen entering for ten years, in addition to the present rates, should be :—For 2d class ordinary, id. per day ; ordinary, 2d. ; A. B.'s and petty officers, 3d. Men re-entering after ten years' service, for ve years more, have their additional pay raised thus : Ordinary, from 2d. to 4d. ; A. B. and petty officers, from 3d. to sd. ; and men who have been ten years in the serN:ce under the old system from the age of twenty, and who enter for a further five years, to receive an addition of—ordinary, 2d. ; and A. B. and petty officers, 3d. Men who have completed a period of fifteen years' continuous and general service, from the age of eighteen, to be granted pensions varying from 7d. to 9d. a day, provided they have not been out of • the service more than twelve months. Men in the re ceipt of such pensions to be subject to further service, as hereafter pointed out. After twenty years' continu ous and general service, from the age of 18, to be granted pensions from 10d. to ls. 2d a day, provided they shall not have been out of the service more than a total period of five years. The pensions for hurts under the new system to be, under ten years, from 3d. to 6d. a day ; after ten years and under fifteen, from 6d. to Bd. a day ; after fifteen and under twenty, from Bd. to 10d. a day ; after twenty years, 10d. to ls. 2d. a day. TRAINING.—The-committee recommend, in connection with the formation of a permanent navy, the mainten ance of a force at home for the protecti on of our arsenals, &c.. and the beneficial employment of the seamen com posing it, that the n umber under t rainin g in the Excel lent, and her tenders should be increased. PETTY OFFICERS.—As an encouragement to the ser vice generally, the service recommend the establishment of the following class of chie f p ett y officers, to correspond in some measure to the hi g her rank of non-commissioned —Provost-mar officers in the army and marines, viz. : —Provost or mas ter-at-arms, chief mate,gunner's. chief of boat swain's m ate, admiral's coxswain , chief captain fore castle, chief quartermaster, chief carpenter's mate, sea men's ' s choolmaster, ship's ste ward, ships cook ; and petty officers are to be induced to mess together, to up hold better discipline and elevate their position.

MANNING THE NAVY. Copies of a correspondence between the Board of Treasury and the Board of Admiralty, on the subject of the manning of the Royal Navy, together with copies of a report of a committee of naval officers, and of her Majesty's Orders in Council relating thereto, have just been presented to Parliament by— command of her Majesty. The following is an abstract of the contents of these impor cant documents : " R. Osborne, Esq., Secretary to the Admiralty, to J. Wilson, Esq., Secretary to the Treasury. " Admiralty, March 21, 1853. " Sir,—l am commanded by my 'Lords Commis! sioners of the Admiralty to acauiint yc t u, fo r th e in formation of th e Lords conliiimsitaie.:'-zw!Maijcsy'a. Treasury, that th e y have;had under tlar cinisideration the important subject of the manning of the Royal Navy. "The difficulties attaching to the present system of manning her Majesty's ships have engaged the attention of different Boards of Admiralty ; and various tegula tions have from time to time been adopted with the ob jects of improving the condition of the seamen and of inducing them voluntarily to enter for longer periods of continuous service. Hitherto, however, so far as the latter object is concerned, no satisfactory results have been produced. " The difficulties are inherent in the system itself, which consists in entering men for particular ships se lected by themselves, nominally for five years, but, practically, according to immemorial usage, for three years' service, unless the ship be detained on a foreign station for a period longer than three but less than five years ; and then, after much expense, time, and labour bestowed in training them, they are disbanded, and are often lost to the service. A certain portion of the men thus discharged never return to the navy.- Some carry the fruits of their training to foreign flags ; the larger number return at periods dictated by their own inclina tion or convenience, and not by any regard to the wants of the service. This desultory mode of proceeding is a cause of great embarrassment and expense in conducting the ordinary duties of the naval service. It creates un certainty as to the period when ships may be expected to be ready for sea; and the evil becomes one of great mag nitude, and a serious danger, when political considera tions suddenly demand the rapid equipment of her Ma jesty's ships. "These circumstances induced the late Board of Ad miralty to appoint a committee of naval officers to in quire into the expediency and practicability of engaging men and boys for longer terms of continuous service. The committee having fully investigated the subject, and taken su c h ev id ence thereon as they deemed proper, arrived ' unanimously at the conclusion that it was ex pedient to place her. Majesty's navy on a more perma nent basis, upon a similar principle to that established in the Army and Marines, and that solid advantages, both to the Crown and to the seamen, would result w t hiet:rh, e l‘ :( . floy O r r loh .' A red i s nformation fully c lrl o my p a y oftheir et onne concur rf itnh e r t he Lords o o v c d t e sw i s transmitted r bt ac ve s e r i expressed,tt Treasuryed r. and they are of opinion that it is essential to give to the royal navy a permanent constitution, in order that it may be brought t o a hi g h er po i nt of? organisation,'effi ciency, and discipline, and thus be enabled at critical junctures to fulfil the expectations of the country. With this object they propose to bring under the con sideration of the Lords of the Treasury such of the pro positions of the committee as involve an outlay of pub lic money, and which my lords confidently believe it is the real interest of the country to carry into effect. "All boys under the age of eighteen, who hereafter enter the navy, to be required to engage for a period of ten years' continuous and general service from the age of eighteen, in addition to whatever periods may be 0 necessary until they attain that age ; and when ad vanced to the under-mentioned ratings to be allowed the rates of pay specified below, in addition to the pre sent rates of pay of the royal navy :—• Second-class ordinary seaman Ordinary seaman Petty officer and able seaman Of "My lords propose that the above increased pay should likewise be granted to men who hereafter enter the navy for the first time, and who volunteer for ten years' continuous and general service, and also to sea men who have served or are now servin g in the navy, and who volunteer to conti n u e therein, certain portions of their previous se' Ace being allowed to count towards such ten years. _ "Men whose period of service may, in the event of an emergency, be temporarily extended, to be allowed 2d. a day (in addition to the pay of the rating they hold) in lieu of the present proportionate rate of pay, viz., an increase of one-fourth. " A class of leading seamen to be established, with 2d. a day in addition to any other pay to which they may be entitled.

This force should only be embarked under a requisition from the Admiralty, having the approval of her Majesty, any part of the force not required, or fit to embark, to be available as a coast artillery. The committee recom mend an addition of 500 men to this branch. MEASURES FOR MANNING THE FLEET IN EMER GENCY.—The committee state that they have anxiously considered the means of effecting this important object without having recourse to impressment. They advert to the operation of the registry of merchant seamen, and remark that fishermen, lightermen, and others liable to impressment, have not yet been brought within the working of the registry system, although forming a large portion of the maritime population. They suggest that local investigation into this point should be instituted. ROYAL NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS.—With regard to the formation of a coast militia as a part of a naval re serve, they recommend that such a desirable force should "ge""er;tabtished upon smAneklowclos.prinoiple to the re sent enrolment of volunteers for the land militia. They consider that about 5,000 or 6,000 men, or such addi tional number as her Majesty's Government shall deter mine, might without much difficulty be so raised chiefly through the instrumentality of the coast guard. On some parts of the coast the disposition to volunteer may probably be found less favourable than on others ; but, under a system wholly voluntary, it does not appear essential that the numbers in each district should be equal ; this might be regulated to some extent Py the portion of men which could be conveniently trained at particular coast-guard stations. MANNING CLAUSES IN MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ACT.— The committee allude to the complaints of the merchant shipowners of the existing restriction as to the propor tion of British and foreign seamen forming their crews, and remark that they could not but regard any proposal for the abandonment of those restrictions without serious apprehensions of its effect upon the naval power of the country. GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—The committee recommend that in all cases reference should be had to the character of the men previous to their admission to this establish ment ; and they call the attention of the Admiralty to certain suggestions made by the governor of the institu tion for improving its internal management. AMOUNT OF FORCE TO BE RETAINED IN ENGLAND.— The committee submit the expediency of maintaining the navy in commission at such a numerical force as, independently of the Channel squadron, will admit of 10,000 seamen and boys, exclusive of officers, being re tained in England for the protection of the ports and coasts of the United Kingdom, and suggest that 1,000 additional Marines should also be kept at home for the same purpose. They consider that the sudden fluctua tions to which the naval force has heretofore been sub ject ought to be prevented. _ . CONCLUSION. —The committee express their concur rence in the opinion of previous committees of the House of Commons with regard to the policy of relying upon our naval power as the right arm of our strength, and conclude by indulging in a sanguine hope " that the various measures which we have recommended will sub • stantially promote the welfare of the seamen and the efficiency of the naval service, thereby establishing our maritime power on a more solid and secure foundation." DESERTIOIVS FROM THE NAVY. We noticed in our last week's publication the credit able manner H.M.S. Hastings was paid off—every man orderly, sober, and clean, and from their healthy ant youthful appearance we may very reasonably suppose the ship's company to have been one of the best in the ser vice ; but the question now is, where are these fine body of efficient men ? Are they in the service, or likely to return to it ? We fear not. As we said before, allure ments abroad hold out stronger attractions than employ ments in H. M. ships, and we much regret it is not in our power to contradict the statement which we made last week as to the major part of the men having united to go over to the diggings in the manner we then de scribed. We sincerely wish' it was in our power to induce the Lords of the Admiralty to lose no time in adopting such favourable measures as would raise in Jack's mind a greater interest, and thereby a stronger tie, to remain in a sem Ice in which he has been reared almost from child hood to manhood. hen no longer able to serve his gracious Sovereign from age or incapacity, how well• it would become a grateral nation to bestow upon Jack for his long and faithful services a moderate competency which would enable bim to live happy and contented all the days of his life. The great difficulty heretofore has been to procure hands to man our ships, and now it would appear a greater one is arising to keep men to the service whom you have had in it for years. Existing pensions were formerly thought adequate to answer the fulfilment of all good purposes, but it is now conclusively evident that greater allurements have come to the views of the sea man, so as to induce him to seek greater a dvan tages in a distant land. The present system of entering boys in the service as apprentices, for ten years, is un - questionably an admirable regulation, and time was when such servitude would have kept them to the service on arriving at manhood, with favourable retiring prospects before them ; but then there existed no load:stone to attract them (as they think) into a more profitable path to the diggings. Be that as it may, it is now too evident that the time has arrived and the necessity is most urgent, for at once adopting efficient means to check the ardent desire of our brave tars for emigration, for in the event of its continuance Briton's best bulwarks will be left unmanned and undefended. If this be the case in profound peace, what alternative have we left in war but to return to that most arbitrary of resorts—im pressment ; alike un-English, and unconstitutional 1 Many have said we can, in the event of a sudden break out, fall back upon our Coast Guard, forget ting that numbers of the men in that service were never brought up to the sea, and many more, although qualified in every way as good seamen, yet from age, and rheumatism generally following, ren der them anything but efficient. At the same time, we admit, as an auxiliary, they would add much to our naval streng.h by being distributed amongst different classes of ships, and it would be still more advantageous if prac ticable to complete the complement of men in each ship to a full ship's company, with younger and more active men.—Portsmouth, Time,. .POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.— Gabriel Sans Ga:rat, who has been in custody for some days upon a charge of having uttered a forged letter of credit, by increasing the sum of 2101. to 5,210/., was again brought up in custody of Thane, the detective officer, and placed at the bar before Alderman Wire, for further examination. Mr. Mullens said, that~ on the former occasion, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, he had charged the prisoner with unlawfully attempting to .obtain, by false pretences from the Union Bahlebfk London, the sum of five hun dred pounds ; that he liad shown his friend, Mr. Wont ner, a copy of the depositions which were then taken, but thought it desirable that the evidence should be read over, as it would be necessary to put to Mr. Debenham a few additional questions. Mr. Debenham was then called, and his former depo sitions having been read, he was further examined as fol lows :—The letter of credit, number 41, was in favour of the prisoner, Gabriel Sans Garrat. The whole amount I paid him was 1001. I produce the cheques which the pri soner signed for the 1001. I saw him sign these cheques. I have my letter of advice from New York. I filled up the cheques produced for the prisoner to sign. Each of these cheques purports to be drawn against Messrs. Duncan and Shearman's letter of credit, No. 41, Before I paid any money upon that letter of credit I compared it with my letter of advice, with which it cor responded. The Union Bank have paid upon the order of Gabriel Sans Garrat the whole of the 2101. men tioned in that letter of credit. I produce the bills drawn by the prisoner against that letter, amounting, with the three cheques , t o 2101. I saw him sign the three cheques. There are five bills. I believe the sig nature to these bills, "Gabriel Sans Garrat," to be the s i gna ture of the same person who signed the cheques. ;thde Moscow,face of The dates are as follow : — Be r l in, 4 th January, 18'53 251. ; Berlin, s th January , 101 . ; S t.

Mr. Wontner—Supposing you had paid the 2101. instead of the 1001. ; what should you have done with the letters of credit ? Should you have kept it ? Witness—The instructions to correspondents are for the party paying the last amount upon the list of credit to detain it. Mr. Wontner—And you would have done the same, of course, if you had paid the whole amount of the credit ? Witness —Yes. Mr. Mullens—lf, when Messrs. Mare an d Co. saw that letter of credit, it purported to be for a larger sum s than 210/., they would not have detained it *? Witness —No. Mr. li.ullens—But would have given it back to Vile person who presented it to them ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Mullen.s—Have you received any advice Tr ona Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co., to pay money to Gabriel Sans Garratt except that letter of credit N0,.'41? Witness--Never. Mr. Alderman Wire—ls it the custom of those who issue these letters of credit to advise all the correspond ents, or only the Union Bank ? Witness—Only our own bank. Mr. Alderman Wire—Then the parties on the Conti nent to whom that letter is addressed would not nee the advice as to the amount. , Witness—No. Mr. Alderman Wire—They would only see what was to he advanced upon the letter of credit itself. Witness—Yes. Mr. Mullens said he would now proceed to examine witnesses upon the subject of the Berlin bill. M. Alexis Marechaux was then sworn and erasmined through an interpreter, as follows :—I am in tin; service of Messrs. Shickler Brothers, bankers, at Berlin.

The money was paid to the prisoner upon the faith of this bill, which is filled up by one of signature. According to the practice of our bank the letter of credit would be shown to Mr. Schultz, who would not make out a bill of exchange for a:larger sum than the letter of credit I make the bill out from the instructions I get from the principal.

Witness—No. Mr. Isaac Walton—l am the clerk to the Imperial Continental Gas Association at their offims, No. 7, White Hart-court, Lombard-street. Mr.. Leonard Drory is the manager of the Association at 13 erlin. The signature, L. Drory, upon the bill produced is in Mr. Drory's handwriting. The directors of the Association endorsed the bill to Messrs. Spooner, Attwo()d, and Co. Mr. W. M. Holmes—l am clerk to Messni. Overend, Gurney, and Co. On the Bth of March las?t, I was in . _ the service of Mr. George Michael Harrisoxt, a notary. On that day I, on behalf of Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co., presented the bill produced to the Union Bank of London, when the answer I received was, " the credit, No. 41, against which this bill is drawn, is :sll paid." Mr. Debenham recalled : Mr. Wontner—You stated that you only pay upon these letters of credit when you have rec rived advice from Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co. Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—Not till you have received . . advice. Witness—We should not dishonour the it signature although we had not received advice. Mr. Wontner—But supposing a letter a f credit had been issued apparently by Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co, and you had received no advice NI lien it was presented, should you not defer until you h ad received advice ? Witness—That would be a case for our di: icretion ; it would not be in the ordinary course of be sinews ; but such a case has never occurred. Mr. Wontner—You have never paid any of Messrs. Duncan, F Shearman, and Co.'s letters of credit till you have received advice from them ? Witness - -No. Mr. Wontner—Supposing a bill of exchange to be drawn by a third person against a letter of ( Tedit which had not been advised, I presume under no circumstances would you pay it. Witness—Decidedly not. Mr. Wontner—You remember the first occasion of the prisoner coming, when he received of yoru a portion of the 1001. Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—He showed you the letter of credit ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontncr—Did you tell him that you. would look to your correspondence to see whether you had any advice upon it ? Witness—l do that always. Mr. Wontner—Did you not say to him, "-I will look to our correspondence and see whether we are advised upon it ?" Witness—l may have made that remark-- it is natural enough. I generally say I will look to the t:dvices. Mr. Wontner—Would you take the lathier of credit away with you, or would you in his presence look to the advices ? Witness—lt is all public, whether I take it away or not ; there ig no screen. I should, in his presence, look for my letter of advice, and if I found it inspect it. Mr. Alderman Wire---Always in the pre3ence of the party presenting it ? Witness—Yes ; I may say always. Mr. Alderman Wire--No question seems to arise upon that, because the prisoner had not exhausted his letter of credit. Mr. Edward Merewether—l am proprietor of the Albion Hotel, 3 Bridge-street, Blackfriars. On the Bth March the prisoner came to stay at my hotel. He di not give me any name. On the 11th, he said he should probably dine there. He returned between three and and four o'clock in the afternoon, and in a hasty manner ordered his bill, and went away in a cab in a great hurry. Cliarlas Thane (the officer)—l was at the shop of Messrs. Moses and Son on the afternoon of the 11th March, with Mr. Debenham ; the prisoner left there in a cab. I followed him in another cab to the corner of Bridge-street. I there lost sight of him ; that was as near as possible half-past 2. I have seen the driver of the cab in which the prisoner went away from Mr. Merewether's hotel. Mr. Rudolph Prommel--I am manager of Messrs. Monteaux's money-changing office, in the Haymarket. On the morning of the sth March, the prisoner came to our office and brought about 6701. in Fredericks d'or, Louis d'or, Napoleons, and florins, for which I paid him the sum of 6741. by cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co, our bankers. I asked him his name ;h e replied Louis Oriel, and I wrote it down. He told me that he lived in Commercial-road East. On giving him the cheque, he said he had also about 100 Russian half-imperials, which he brought on the same a ft ernoon , a b ou t half past three o'clock, and for which I gave him another cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co. for 8141. I accom panied him to the bank, and saw him receive cash for the cheques, amounting to 1,4881. Mrs. Susannah Abbott—l reside at 53, Cambridge street, Edgeware-road. The prisoner lived in my house from the 15th to the 29th April. He said his name was Permentel. Mr. Mullens—That is the case upon the bill of ex change given by the prisoner to Messrs. Shickler. On a future occasion I shall be prepared, on the arrival of Mr. Wilson, who has been sent for from St. Petersburg, to go into the case of bills amounting to 3,8001., also in pursuance of this supposed letter of credit, No. 41. Mr. Alderman Wire—How do you shape your charge, Mr. Mullens ? Mr. Mullens—The charge I make against the prisoner is that of attempting, by false pretences, to obtain the sum of 5001. from the Union Bank of London, and I ground that charge in this way—the prisoner goes to the banking house of Messrs. Shickler at Berlin, and there makes a statement to them, either verbally or in wnriottincagr,eanwdhiscihg,nbeudt bwyhibchimisself,aftetrhwatardins Messrs. Duncan, Shear man, and Co., he has authorit y wrireducedt pursuanceing, into a certain letter of credit , No. 41, from oo to demand from the Union Bank of London the sum of 5001. He puts that into writing, and signs it. It is a bill of exchange ; it may be a letter or anything, but it is addressed to the Union Bank of London. According to the facts which have come out to-day upon the evi dence of Mr. Debenham, I will take it to be sufficiently proved—for the present at all events—that that pretence is wholly without foundation, and that the prisoner at that time had no authority to draw upon the Union. Bank i Af r of Alderman `'ire—lt 0 is n o t pretended that he had London any authority except that which he derived from letter of credit No. 41. Mr. Unionll recisely so and we h ave proved that the P had no authority to pay. lul ß len an s— k Imy friend is t o contend that this pret ence was m su a p Berlin, and th ere f ore is a pretence country.

Mr. Alderman Wire—This is a case of so much im , portance both to the commercial world and to the pri soner himself, that I shall remand it in order that I may have time to consider the law as applicable to the case, whether or not I have authority to send him to trial ; because I would not subject him, a foreigner, to the ignominy of a trial unless I thought a conviction would follow. Therefore I shall remand the case for a week, , which will enable Mr. Wontner, who says he has not had time t-o look into the cases, to make himself better acquainted with the state of the law, so as to shake, if he can, the impression that I have, that the prisoner must be committed for trial. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. G R AVESEND S T A.R PACKETS, No other Packets call at the Grays, Greenhithe, ar. t Purfleet Piers.
