THE PRESTON STRIKE. A CO UNTER-COMBINATION. The Manchester Examiner has the following :—° Yes terday a step was taken in Manchester which will tend ty bring this controversy to a settlement sooner than it was ever likely to be while the Preston masters and - operatives kept towards each other an attitude of un reasoning defiance, and resisted all terms of accommoda tion. The general body of manufacturers have been looking on at the struggle in Preston for some time with mingled hope and fear—hope that, after a time, the operatives would return to their work, and make terms with their respective employers—fear that, from the language of their leaders, there was a formed deter mination to make Preston the battle-ground of a great truggle, the success of which would extend the circle f controversy and antagonism until the whole manu acturing district was in anarchy and its trade in jeopardy. Regarding the dispute, as explained by its leaders, as intended to achieve the supremacy of labour over capital, the manufacturers of Lancashire yesterday resolved, after mature and anxious delibera tion, to support the Preston masters in the present struggle.' The resolution was adopted with entire unanimity ; and the strength of this resolve may be appreciated, when we state that the meeting repre sented manufacturing capitalists from Manchester and Salford, Stockport, Bury, Ashton, Stalybridge, Glossop, Hyde, Preston, Darwen, Bacup, Burnley, Colne, Accrington, and other places. The question at issue at Preston, whioh has produced this strong resolution, was not viewed as one of mere wages, but as one of mastery —the question, in fact, whether the masters should conduct their own businesses, or give them up to their workpeople. Such is the result of the combination of the Preston factory operatives, aided by those of other manufacturing towns, as well as by men belonging to other trades. One combination, appalling in its mag nitude, and, consequently, terrible in its power, has itself more another, desti ne d, we b e li eve , to prove more powerful. It is with no little pain we view these counter-combinations ; whither they will lead we cannot exactly see, but it is evident that now the Preston manufacturers, who were in danger of falling before a powerful labour league, are to receive such an amount of pecuniary assist ance as must take from the leaders of the movement one of their strongest hopes of success, for the bank: ruptcy and ruin of some of the Preston employers they have spoken of as something certain, were the lock-out contfnued for even a few weeks longer. Harsh as this Manchester combination may seem, then, it may be the means of more speedily inculcating upon the minds of the factory operatives a true knowledge of the relations which ought to exist between capital and labour. Ex traneous aid has been thrown into Preston on behalf of the operatives, and now extraneous aid is to given to the masters. The contest is, therefore, for the first time, equal ; the many operatives have not to wrestle with the many manufacturing capitalists. One great feature of the Lancashire cotton trade hitherto has been the power of individual energy, and the English public may well believe that it is no slight matter indeed which, for the first time in the history of that trade, in duces its great capitalists to lend their united aid to a few manufacturers in one town. Such a state of things is abnormal indeed, and therefore we must presume that the instinct of self-preservation alone has brought it about." MEETING OF PRESTON MANUFACTURERS. PRESTON, THURSDAY. The adjourned meeting of the associated employers of Preston and the neighbourhood was held at the full Hotel in this town at 11 o'clock this morning. Alter about an hour's deliberatio n , the result was m ade k nown by placard, of whi c h the following is a copy : "At a meeting of the associated masters, held at the Bull Hotel, Preston, on Thursday, the 29th of Decem ber, 1853, Mr. Thomas Miller in the chair, it was unani mously resolved, that inasmuch as no disposition has been as yet shown by the operatives generally to resume work, this meeting do adjourn to Thursday, the 26th of January, 1854. Should it, however, in the meantime be ascertained that many of the operatives are desirous of returning to their work, immediate steps will be taken by the associated masters to open their mills. " By order of the Masters' Association, "JOHN HUMBER, Secretary (pro tern)." The main street, in which the Bull Hotel is situated, was thronged with operatives during the time occupied by the meeting, considerable interest being evinced as to the result. REPLI TO THE MASTERS FROM THE WEAVERS' ASSOCIATION. The committee of the Powerloom Weavers' Associa tion have this morning published the annexed reply to the address of the Masters' Association, issued yester day : In consequence of the various misrepresentations which have been so unblushingly put forth by the Mas ters' Association, we, the Weavers' Association, feel it to be a duty to ourselves and the public to publish the following answers : " 1. In the document issued yesterday bythe Masters' Committee, they say, that the differences which in the first instance existed would have been arranged, and would not have resulted in a general stoppage of the mills, had it not been for the improper interference of strangers between the masters and their hands.' We beg to say distinctly that no strangers had, either properly or improperly, interfered in the disputes be tween the masters and their hands previous to a notice being given for a general stoppage. "2. We repeat that we have been locked out, in order to starve us into submission,' not because we ob jected to the advances made upon the price paid in 1852, - for the great body of us were perfectly satisfied with the advances given, but because we thought fit to give our own money to support some four mills' hands who had disputes with their employers, the primary cause of our sympathy being that these workpeople had been denied the opportu nity of explaining, or coming to an arrangement with their employers. It is false and without any founda tion to say, 'that these firms were to be made the vic tims of an organised combination, whose avowed object was to take the masters in succession, and compel them to accept the terms of the unionists.' We deny this statement, and challenge them to substantiate it. We, as a body, have never done or said anything to justify such a conclusion. "3. They say,—' We at once admit that, owing to the depressed state of trade in 1847, a general reduction of wages took place but with respect to the promise of restoring it when trade revived, they say,—' We deny, however, that any such promise was made by the mas ters generally, although this might have been done by some individual firms.' We are prepared to admit that every employer in the town did not make that promise there were several firms where, had the hands, or any portion of them, raised the shadow of an objection to the reduction, or solicited a promise of any description, they would have received summary ejectment ; and s uc h a process, in the state of the labour market at the tim e would have been next to starvation and death ; but the promise given at the firms where the masters allowed them some little 'freedom' was justly considered appli cable to all, and, consequently, to those firms where the hands dare not ask at that time to be other than de graded slaves.' " 4. They say, anxious to ascertain the diffe rence (if any) between the earnings of the various classes of operatives in 1847, before the above-mentioned reduc• tion took place, and those in the summer of 1853, before the 10 per cent. was demanded, we find, from the returns furnished us from the wages book of several large and influential firms, that instead of any decrease there has been an actual increase, varying from 5 to 30 pc: cent., after making due allowance fur the difference in the hours of labour from 69 to 60 hours per week.' Gentle men, if your object bad been to furnish statistical data of the benefits and blessings which have resulted from the passing of the Ten Hours' Bill (that bill which you so long and so zealously opposed, and which you so often prophecied would be followed by ruinous and disastrous results ; by the by, We are told at the present time, that if you cannot succeed in reducing our wages 10 per cent, it will be followed by diastroes ruin), we could have understood your motive ; but, because by our un tiring exertions we have succeeded in doing as much work in 60 hours as we formerly did in 69 hours, • you are so ungenerous as to make this a justification for Preventing us participating in the general prosperity which has followed ; hut you say that in a well regu lated spinning and weaving establishment the average earn ings of all classes o f b an d s i s a b out 103. each. ' You t o h '.. i g s e to tell us whose well regulated establishment ; but, if all es t a bli s h ments w h ere the average earnings are less than 10s. per week are badly regu lated estab lishment s we are prepared to prove from your own bo o k s, if you will furnish us with the facility, that the reat lated.' body of es t a bli s h ments are anything but ' well te 5. e ha repeat tilat the wages pa i d i n Preston are less than wt are paid in other districts, and this is the secret to improve cause of hdition. e determinatio n of the work - people 6. We refer th e public to the letters we have sent to the Preston papers, in answ er to t hose which ap appeared in the Chronicle of Saturd ay 7 . W e beg to say, that in this struggle the masters w de i r t s h ta t n h d e are the aggressors ; we are on the defensive ; we were (with the few exceptions referred to).avitisefieudn wages given us before the 'lock-out , that we must not resume work unless we will submit to a reduction of 10 per cent. ; we have offered to have the question settled upon reasonable terms, but no conces sion' is the terms of our employers; they have forced us to rely for an existence upon aid from other towns, and now tell us that we can only resume work upon condi tion that we will degrade ourselves in the eyes of the world by accepting a reduction, which must naturally be followed by a reduction in the wages of those 'who have so generously saved our children from starvation, Are these the only terms of honourable men ? Will it he the interest of the employers of Preston to see their work people both degraded and dishonest ? We think not ; but, if it be, we tell them that we will suffer much be fore we will submit to such depravity. "In conclusion, we again reiterate, that we are pre pared at any time to bring this dispute to an honourable and reasonable arrangement. "By order of the Powerloona Weavers' Committee, " • "JAMES WHALL EY , S ec. Committee-rooms, Preston, 'Dec. 28." THE GREAT BILL FORGERIES. Yesterday having been fixed for the further examina tion of IVilliaan Anderson, who stands charged with having committed forgeries of a most extensive nature, long before the hour of commencing business at the Mansion-house the justice room was densely crowded by influential merchants and others, many of them suffer ers from the misconduct of the prisoner. The Lord Mayor presided. Sir R. W. Carden and Alderman Humphery were also upon the bench. Shortly after 12 o'clock the prisoner was placed at the bar in custody of John Forrester. Mr. Nobler, who appeared for the prisoner upon the former examination, was again in attendance. The depositions of the witnesses in connexion with the charge against the accused of having feloniously uttered a forged acceptance for 2,2501. with intent to defraud Messrs. Womersley and Burt, well knowing the same to be forged, were read over and signed. After the usual caution, upon being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, the prisoner, through his solicitor, said he should reserve his defence. He was then committed, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The prisoner was next charged with having feloniously uttered a forged acceptance for the sum of 2,4801., with a view to defraud Mr. Philip Conrad Freese, well know ing the same to be forged. Mr. Philip Conrad Freese—l am an exchange, dis count, and insurance broker of No. 16, George-street, Mansion-house. On the 20th inst. I received the bill of exchange, the subject of this inquiry. I believe it was brought to my counting-house by a Mr. Ryder's clerk, but I was absent at the time. I received it loose from my clerk. It was for 2,480/. I had previously , spoken to Mr. Ryder upon the subject of the bill, hav ing been made acquainted with the fact that it was about to be sent to me for the purpose of being dis counted. I believe I received directions about getting it discounted from Mr. Ryder. The prisoner gave my clerk directions as to what was to be done with the pro ceeds of the bill ; the directions were not given person ally to me. I took the bill to Messrs. Overrend, Gurney, and Co., who discounted it for me. I received from them an open check for 2,0001. By "open" I mean an uncrossed cheque. I gave this cheque to Emanuel Green, my clerk, who cashed it at Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s, and brought the money back to the counting house ; but I did not see it in his possession. I had given him directions what to do with the money, but what he did with it was not done in my presence. I afterwards saw the prisoner on the same day upon the subject. He then wanted me to buy a bill upon Havre for 6001. This sum he was to pay on the delivery of the bill. I understood that part of the proceeds of the 2,0001. that I had obtained was to be applied to the purchase of the 6001. bill. It was not to be paid through me. I was to pay the balance of the 2,4801., after de ducting the 1,6001., to Mr. Ryder. I gave my clerk di 'rections to pay this balance to Mr. Ryder. No portion of the balance that was to be paid over to Mr. Ryder was to be applied towards the purchase of the 6001. bill. The bill produced by Daniel Forrester is the bill in question, to the best of my belief. I did not indorse it. I merely acted as agent between the parties. The bill is as follows : " B. 2180, due 7th April, 1854. "No. 63 0- - Exchange for 2,4Bol.—Calcutta, 4th Oc tober, 1853." "At six months after date pay this first of exchange (second and third unpaid) to the order of J. M. Dupont, the sum of two thousand four hundred and eighty " Value in account, L and S—which place to account as advised. "J. LE BRUN. " 685, J. Le Brun. "To Messrs. P. and C.

" Endorsed Payez iL l'ordre de Monsieur W. B. An derson valeur en co co m pt e . P ar i s, D ecem b re 13, 1853. "NV. E. Anderson." "JAN. DUPONT. The bill upon Havre has nothing to do with the pre sent transaction, it never having gone. The interview between me and the prisoner took place at my counting house. I saw him again the same day, when he was in custody, at Messrs. Womersly and Co's.. I went there about half-past three o'clock, when I demanded of the prisoner the return of the bank notes, amounting to the sum of 1,0001., which he had received from my clerk. He replied that if I went with him to Mr. Ryder's counting-house in Broad-street, he expected I should find them there. I went there with Forrester, another person, and the prisoner, but did not find the notes. I saw Mr. Ryder's clerk. When the money was not found to be there, the prisoner said it would be in Bil liter-street. We then all went to Billiter-street together, when the prisoner went into a counting-house, Forrester and I after him, slipped down an inner staircase, and attempted to escape. He was, however, secured by Forrester. I then came w ith Forrester and the person who had accompanied us, a Mr. Clark, to the Mansion House, where the prisoner was searched. 6001. and a warrant were found upon his person. The 6001. he received from my clerk, although the produce of the cheque for 2,0001. never passed through my hands. Mr. Hobler—Nor the 6001. Witness—Nor the 6601. Mr. David Barclay Chapman—l am a partner in the firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co. of Lombard-street, money dealers. I prod uce a bill of exchange for 2,480/. purporting to be drawn by Mr. J. Le Brun upon Messrs. P. and C. Van Notten and Co. It was brought to me by Mr. Freese for discount, and in part discount of it I gave a cheque for 2,000/. on account, upon Messrs. Barclay and Co., of Lombard -street. Mr. Emanuel Green—l am clerk to Mr. Freese. On the 20th of December the bill of exchange produced was brought to the counting-house by Mr. Austin, Mr Ryder's clerk. He left it with me for discount, and I gave it to Mr. Freese the same day at half-past eleven o'clock. At a quarter to two o'clock the same day I received from Mr. Freese an open cheque for 2,0001., which I cashed at Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s, getting for it five notes, namely, one for 1,0001., one for 5001., two for 2001., and one for 1001. I had received direc tions from Mr. Freese to give 1,6001. to the prisoner, whom I found at the office when I returned from Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s. I accordingly handed him the notes for 1,0001., 5001., and 1001. I neither wrote upon these notes, nor made any memorandum of their numbers. On the same day, about twenty minutes to 12 o'clock, I had some conversation with the prisoner after the bill was left with me, in the course of which he said he wished to have notes, and also a bill on Hav re , i ns t ea d of a crossed cheque, for the bill that he had brought. To the best of my recollection he mentioned notes to the amount of 1,6001., and a bill on Havre for 6001. I did not see him indorse the bill. I should not know his handwriting. I did not see him again after I gave him the money till he was in custody. When I gave him the 1,6001. he said nothing to me about the balance. I understood it was to be sent to Mr. Ryder by previous arrangement between him and the prisoner. No arrangement of this nature was made with me. I took no receipt for the 1,6001. Mr. J. Mitchell—l am cashier at Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s, bankers, Lombard-street. I cashed the cheque for 2,0001. produced on the 20th inst. Ido not know who brought it. I gave in exchange for it one note of 1,0001., numbered 93,425, dated the Ist April, 1853 ; one for 5001., numbered 90,972, dated the 2nd March, 1853 ; one for 2001., numbered 59,733, dated the 4th January, 1853 ; another for 2001., numbered 59,347, of the same date, and one for 1001., numbered 34,924, dated the sth August, 1853. The two halves of the notes produced by Forrester are parts of those which I paid on the occasion in question —one being half of the 500 /, the other of the 1001. note. Mr. Charles John Austin-1 am clerk to Mr. Ryder, of 76, Old Broad -street, East India and Jamaica mer chant. The bill of exchange produced was given to me by the prisoner, on the 20th of December, at Mr. Ryder's counting-house. He asked me if I would take and get it di scoun t e d , an d l et hi m h ave twelve o'cl oc k. M r . R y d er b e i ng t it he to money .Alr. Freese ree b s e e fere out, I took the bill to Mr. Freese. I saw the prisoner endorse the bill at our office. I did not receive any portion of the money afterwards from Mr. Freese's clerk. I believe tile prisoner received the money. Mr. Ryder has not yet received any portion of the proceeds of the bill. The T bills ord to 1% a e y u o t r brbrio Witness—He had done so once before, Tirdsiscounteit usual fo r th e pr i soner tod only once. The Lord Mayor—Had you authority from your em ployer to take them for discount without his seing them ? Witness—Yes, in his absence. The Lord Mayor—When last before the occasion in question had he brought a bill to you ? Witness—About a month before. The Lord Mayor—And you then got that, discounted, did you ? Witness—Mr. Ryder took that on himself. The Lord Mayor—Do y ou remem b e r the amount of that bill ? Witness—l do not. The Lord Mayor—Had Mr. Ryder given • you direc thins to take a bill of this kind to be discounted when presented by Anderson ? Witness— He had that particular bill. A Clerk from the office of Mr. Murray, a solicitor, here stepped forward and said Mr. Ryder was quite willing to state all that he knew in connection with the transaction. The Lord Mayor—l can see no objection to that. I think the object should be to elicit as much as we pos siblycan. kr. Thomas Ryder was then called. He said—l am a merchant carrying on business at 76, Old Broad-street. I know the prisoner, and have had mercantile transac tions with him. I have discounted one bill for him, the amount of which was 830/. I discounted that bill my self. The prisoner had spoken to me of a bill for 2,0001. coming, but not of one for 2,4801. That was on Saturday the 17th or Monday the 19th instant. I did not see that bill, but he told me that it was drawn on Messrs. Van Notten. The bill that is now the subject of inquiry had not been mentioned to me by the p r iso ner . I had had some conversation with Mr. Freese, with re ference to the 2 ,0001. bill. I had ask e d him if h e cou ld get a bill for 2,000/. don e . I h a d as k e d hi m a t w h a t rate he would do one. I afterwards told the prisoner that a bill could be done on Van Notten, by Mr. Freese. I was not in when the bill for 2,4801. was brought tc my counting-house, but about one o'clock on the 20th instant the prisoner called on me, and said he had made au appointment to be at Mr. Freese's office at half-past one, as he wanted to buy a bill on }lavre or France. I forget whether he said Havre. At this time my clerk had told me that he had received a bill for 2,4801,, and left it. The pri soner said to me that he wanted 1,6001. in cash to buy *auk post-bill, and that the balance Mr. Freese could deduct for the French Bill. He then asked me to walk on with him to Mr. Freese. We went together and met Mr. Freese by his office. The. prisoner then told Mr. Freese that he wanted a French bill bought. Just as Mr. Freese left the prisoner said to me, "But I want 1,600/. in cash." This I mentioned to Mr. Freese, who said he would come back in a quarter of an hour. I was not present when the money was paid over. I did not see the prisoner again till he came to my office in com pany of Forrester. Mr. Freese then said, "I want 1,0001." I said I had no 1,0001. The prisoner then stepped forward and said that he had instructed 'l,OOOl. to be sent to me, and that I was to detain it when it came for Mr. Freese. He then said, " Let us go to my office, perhaps the money will be there," or " We may find the money there." They then left. I did not go to the prisoner's office. Mr. Freese came back about an hour afterwards, and when I asked him what was the matter, he said it was a f orgery. Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—At the time the prisoner spoke to you and said that he had made an appointment at the office of Mr. Freese, to be there at half-past one, and also that he wanted to buy a bill on France, you knew that he referred to the bill for 2,4801. ? Witness—Exactly so. The Lord Mayor—Did I correctly understand you that your business is that of a merchant? Witness—Yes. • The Lord Mayor—ls it any part of your business to negotiate bills of exchange ? Witness—Yes, as agent. I never put any name on them. The Lord Mayor—Have you known the prisoner for any length of time ? Witness—Since about the beginning of April of this year. The Lord Mayor—Did you introduce the prisoner to Mr. Freese ? Witness—Yes. The Lord Mayor—ln what character ? Witness—As a merchant, and a party with whom I was acquainted. The Lord Mayor—As a man whom you believed to be a person of respectability ? Witness—Oh, certainly. The Lord Mayor—Were you to have had any com mission for the discounting of this bill ? Witness—Yes. The Lord Mayor—You would have considered your self entitled to a commission for the discounting of this identical bill ? Witness—Yes. The Lord Mayor—Have you any objection to men tion at what rate the commission would have been paid ? Witness--I should have charged an eighth. The Lord Mayor—And that is a legitimate portion of your business ? Witness—Yes. • The Lord Mayor —What might have induced you to form the opinion of the prisoner being a man of respect ability ? Witness—Because he was introduced to me by very respectable parties, with whom I had been acquainted for some time. The Lord Mayor—Was the bill for 8301. that you bad previously discounted negotiated in a similar manner, your name not being upon it ? Witness—No. The Lord Mayor—And you have no means of know ing whether that was a genuine bill ? Witness—Yes, it was a genuine bill. The Lord Mayor—Wbat amount of commission did you obtain on that bill ? Witnessed—l obtained none in that case. The Lord Mayor—Then had you no profit in that transaction ? Witness—lndirectly I had. It was to be paid against particular transactions. The Lord Mayor—The 8301. was to be paid against particular transactions ? Witness—Yes. A certain amount was owing me. The Lord Mayor—By the prisoner ? Witness—Yes; and, therefore, I was very glad to discount the bill for nothing. The Lord Mayor—Your transactions with the pri soner have not been confined simply to these two nego tiations —you have been connected with him ever since April ? Witness—Yes ; I have had transactions with him since April. Mr. Lambert Van Notten Pole—l am a merchant, carrying on business at 2 and 3, Lime-street-square. I have one partner, and trade under the firm of P. and C. Van Notten and Co. There is not a Mr. Vast Notten in the firm. I bank with Messrs. Martin, of Lombard street, and always make my bills payable there. The acceptance to the bill of exchange produced is not my handwriting, nor is it in that of my partner. It. was not written by my authority. I know of no other firm of the same name as ours in London. Ido not k now the supposed drawer. I know the prisoner, and have had mercantile dealings with him. I have never given him my acceptance to any bill of exchange. He has not drawn upon me at any time. The acceptance to the bill in question is a bad resemblance of my hand-writing. Mr. Chapman—My lord, I beg to make one observa tion with reference to the taking of this bill. When Mr. Freese offered this bill, I did not consent to take it without asking him several questions and getting: his per fect assurance that he knew Mr. Anderson perfectly well, and that he was a highly respectable man. I said to him, "You are quite sure of this ?" And upon this I passed the bill. In the afternoon, after the apprishension of the prisoner, Mr. Ryder called in company with Mr. Freese, and said that he was the person who ha .d intro duced and recommended Mr. Anderson to Mr. Freese. I say this in justification to myself in takinc , such an amount, and also for th e p urpose o f showing where 6 Mr. Freese got his information as to Mr. Anderson. Mr. Pole—My lord, in answer to a question whether we always made, or, rather, I always made, bills drawn upon us payable at our bankers, I answered, "Always." It did not occur to me till this moment, that in cases of goods that are sometimes sold with hypothecation of documents, those we accept payable at our own office. This being the whole of the evidence in reference to the second charge, the prisoner, who had buried his face in his pocket handkerchief during the whole of the pro ceedings, and who seemed deeply sensible of the painful position in which he was placed, was again asked whe ther he wished to say anything. As in the first case, he replied through Mr. Nobler that he should reserve his defence. He was then remanded for a week, when it is under stood another charge of a different character will be gone into On the application of a solicitor who attended on be half of the creditors of the prisoner, against whom a fiat in bankruptcy has been issued, Daniel Forrester was ordered by the Lord Mayor to deliver to the official as signee any documents which he bad seized relating to the prisoner's monetary transactions. Mr. Hobler said that his client was most anxious to afford the assignees every assistance in his power. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLEIZKENWELL.—George Strutt, hair dresser, No. 10, York-street, Camden-town, was charged at the in stance of the London Gas Light Company with stealing 700 cubic feet of gas, their property, value 3s. Mr. H. Larkin, one of the inspectors of the company, produced the contract signed by the prisoner for one burner. He called at the prisoner's shop on the .5111 instant, when he observed the fittings for two gas lamps. There was a burner with a shaving-pot over it under the shop window or show board. On the 23d he again saw the same burner, and a light in the same position, and a pipe which was covered over with play bills for the purpose of concealing it. Witness asked the pri soner what it was ? He replied, "I suppose I can get over it by paying for it." He also said he had been in the country, and it was done while he was away. The burner would consume five cubic feet of gas in one hour. • Mr. James Newman, an inspector in the employ of the company, gave confirmatory evidence, and added that the prisoner said he had been consuming the gas for three weeks. He used it for heating the water to shave his customers with. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the case was one of con siderable importance. It was a mistaken notion that gas could not be stolen. He should send the prisoner to take his trial. MAIILIIOIIOUGII-STREET. John Jones was charged with having stolen a quantity of valuable pro perty belonging to Lieutenant Bland. Lieutenant Bland, of St. James's-place, said the pri soner had been in his service as valet for about 31 years. In August last witness gave the prisoner his gold watch to get repaired, and after waiting a reasonable time, he inquired of him whether it had been done ? The prisoner said he had called at the watchmaker's, but the job was not quite finished. Witness subsequently discovered that the watch had been pawned by the prisoner, and on further investigation found that other property, con sisting of studs, sash, rings, pin, &c., were missing. Inspector Monekton took the prisoner into custody, and found 29 duplicates in his possession, many of which related to property stolen from the prosecutor. Several pawnbrokers produced property pledged with them by the prisoner, The watch, studs, gold sash, studs, &c., were identified by the prosecutor. mitt The prisone r a d m i tte d hi s guilt, and was fully com ed. John Tripe, who first gave the name of Charles Jones, was charged with having robbed Mr. Stephen Mills of Dundee, of 60/, in notes and gold. It appeared that the complainant, recently from Scot land, fell in. with the prisoner, and went with him to Ben Caunt's public house, in St. Martin's-lane. After drinking together for some time, he felt his companion's hand in his pocket, and in a few minutes after he missed his money—either 60/. or 641. —he could not tell which. won't; hah l i y s Complainant asked the prisoner to give The in I've loek o n g m o o t n s e o y / . ., I pr w is o o n n ' e t r g r iv ep e y lie o d u , back a farthing."

MARYLEBONE.—Frederick Henderson, a painter, residing at 10, Eden-street, Hampstead-road, was charged with stealing a newspaper from the Royal George Hotel, Drummond-street, Euston-square. George Bence, one of the waiters, deposed that on the previous night, at nine o'clock, the prisoner entered the back parlour and stood for a few moments by the fire. Witness was called to the counter, and on his return shortly afterwards to the parlour he missed a newspaper which' he had left on the table. The prisoner, after shuffling about in a suspicious manner, quitted the premises, followed by witness, who, on overtaking him, said, " Come, old fellow, give me up that paper you have stolen." Pri- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1853. Mr. Ingham thought the overcharge for the mould ings was open to an explanation, and that the want of sufficient checks in Mr. Mare's yard, and the unlimited confidence placed in the prisoner and his coadjutor Har rison would render it most difficult to establish the case against them. There certainly was some evidence that a large system of fraud had been carried on, but the general laxity which prevailed in the yard as .to the foremen's accounts, and the extensive nature of Mr. Mare's operations, would embarrass the matter very much. The prisoner, who said that he had been taken by surprise, was then bound over in the sum of 2001. and one surety in 1001. to appear on Thursday, the 19th of January. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 29, Her Majesty's steam yacht Fairy went out of harbour to Stoke's Bay this morning under the command of Capt Crispin, for the purpose of trying Sir Thomas Mitchell's boomerang propeller. The average speed of six runs along the measured mile was 111 knots. This is a much less rate than was anticipated by those who had wit nessed the performance of the boomerang on board Her Majesty's ship Conflict and other vessels. The reason assigned by Sir Thomas Mitchell and his attendant engineer for this diminished speed, was the diminu tion of the diameter of the screw to suit the Fairy's fabric ; eight inches of diameter were thus abridged, and that from the portion of the screw in which the propelling power chiefly resides. We think it is a pity that Sir Thomas Mitchell had not taken precautions against this disadvantage by suggesting the slight alterations in the. Fairy's aperture necessary be fore hand, or had not declined exhibiting his screw in a mutilated form. Sir Thomas takes his departure for Australia on Tuesday next from Glasgow, in a new sea ship of 750 tons, propelled by one of his boomerangs. This voyage, on which his propeller will work under his own immediate inspection, will afford a far better field for testing its efficiency than runs in Stoke's Bay. The Diamond, 20, Captain William Peel, will sail from Spithead ou Friday for the Pacific, calling at Ply mouth. The Geyser, 6, paddle-sloop, was placed in No. 3 dock of the fitting-basin to-day for repair. The Frolic, 10, Commander Nolloth, was paid ad vance wages at Spithead on Saturday. The Princess Royal, 90, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, came out of the fitting-basin to-day, and took up the moorings of the Victorious. • The Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, and the Gladiator, 6, paddle-frigate, are ordered to be brought forward for commission, the latter with all despatch. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 29. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-frigate Magicienne, 16, Captain T. Fisher, came into Hamoaze on T ues d ay afternoon, to comple t e coal and undergo some repairs. On passing the flag-ship Impregnable, 104, Captain A. Lowe, a sudden squall heeled her over so much as to throw the starboard paddlewheel completely out of the water. In order to prevent her falling too much to leeward it was necessary instantly to quicken her speed ; this was scarcely done when the squall as suddenly ceased. However, before her rate could again be slack ened sufficiently to come alongside the coal hulk easily, she had run the distance, and, although every possible means were taken to prevent a collision, the port anchor stock (iron) took the bow of the hulk, and snapped short off, as did also the cathead, causing some trifling damage to the hammock netting. WOOLWICH, DEC. 29. The fisgard flag-ship, at this port, is to be paid off to morrow, and will be recommissioned on Saturday, by Commodore John Shepherd, Superintendent of Wool wich dockyard. Mr. Thomas Pidcock (1846) is appointed paymaster under the new commission of the Fisgard. Captain George B. Martin, C. 8., Superintendent of Deptford aockyard, with Mr. Pearn, master-attendant of that yard, visited Woolwich dockyard yesterday, and remained some time on official duty. Captain A. P. Ryder, who was yesterday appointed to command the Dauntless, 24, screw steam-frigate at Ports mouth, studied steam at the factory at Woolwich dock yard. The Dauntless was built in Portsmouth dockyard, from a design by John Fincham, then master shipwright, and launched in 1847. Her tonnage is 1,496, and she is fitted with a screw-propeller and engines o f 580-h orse power. . ___ Captain Sir Frederick W. E, Nicolson, who was ap. soner denied having done anything of the sort, but he was given into custody. Hall, 204 S, found the paper in prisoner's hat. He said that he had purchased it for 2d. in the street. The prisoner was committed for trial. • LAMBETH.—George Izzapd, a member of a gang of burglars, was further examined on a charge of being concerned with others in the commission of an extensive robbery at the dwelling-house of Mr. Thompson, a gen tleman residing at No. 5, Williams's-terrace, Peckliam. The robbery was committed by means of skeleton-keys during the absence of the family, and jewellery, plate, and other property to the amount of 401. carried away by the thieves, and the prisoner was distinctly sworn to as having been making some inquiries about Mrs. Thompson a short time before the robbery. By this in quiry he had ascertained from the servant of the house next door that that lady was out, and that there was no person in the house, and no moral doubt could exist as to the object for which he had made the inquiries, and of his being one of the plunderers. Yesterday Mr. In spector Coward informed the magistrate that there was no further evidence to offer in the case of the robbery of Mr. Thompson ; but since the last examination a con-. stable and himself had been engaged in endeavouring to trace and bring forward a witness who would be able to identify the prisoner as having been connected with another robbery committed under circumstances similar to that at the residence of Mr. Thompson, but unfor tunately, they had not as yet succeeded. The rob bery he alluded to took place at the house of Mr. Moore, and the thief in making a somewhat hurried retreat from the house passed through the back door, and from thence into the yard of a school in Arthur street, then kept by a Mr. Lambert. The thief was seen by Mr. Lambert, and when asked by the latter what had brought him there, he represent e d hi mse lf as a constable in disguise, and begged he would allow him to pass through kis school-room into Arthur-street, as he was in pursuit of a thief that had broken into the next house and gone in that direction. Mr. Lambert, believing his statement, allowed him to pass through his school room as requested, and he got clear off. From inquiries then made by the police no doubt was entertained that the person so accommodated was one of the thieves, and the, description given of him by Mr. Lambert corresponded to a nicety with the person and appearance of the pri soner. Unfortunately Mr. Lambert had removed from Arthur-street to the west-end of the town, and neither himself, Mr. Coward, nor the constable engaged in the case with him, had been able to trace his present re sidence. Mr. Norton observed that the public press so fre quently and so materially assisted in promoting the ends of justice that he had no doubt it would afford its aid in the present instance. If the reporter would kindly men tion the difficulty which the police experienced in tracing Mr. Lambert, he doubted not that that gentleman would be in attendance at the next examination, and to give him an opportunity he should remand the prisoner to this day (Friday) week. solicitor, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, atjected to lil4l3eing remanded for the mere purpose of trying an experiment to bring forward a witness. Mr. Norton observed that the evidence at present was sufficiently strong to commit the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond, and he certainly should remand the prisoner to the day he had mentioned. Mr. Coward remarked that at the last examination the prisoner declared he had been in work since his dis charge from prison on his last conviction ; but this was found to be false, though his lodgings at 62 ,We115-street, Oxford-streft, were most expensively furnished, and be sides a savings bank-book was seen there for a sum of money placed there.. The prisoner, who had all through the examination conducted himself in a most impertinent and insolent manner to the magistrate and witne s ses, here broke out into a perfect phrensy, and told the magistrate that he had better make out to hang him at once. Mr. Norton told him that if he had the power the privilege might be very properly exercised in his case ; for from all that had been stated of him, lie did not think society would be much damaged by his loss. And as regarded his conduct while before him, he did not re collect an instance of one of his class behaving himself with anything approaching his assurance. This rebuke had not the slightest effect on the pri soner. lie continued his violent denunciation of the police, and the injustice of keeping him in custody, and was obliged to be removed by force to the cells. THAMES.—SamueI Reed, 34, of No. 5, Broadway, Deptford, ship joiner, was charged with embezzlement. Mr. Newbon, for the prosecution, stated that the pri soner and another man named Harrison, had been lung in the service of the prosecutor, Mr. C. J. Mare, the shipbuilder, at Blackwell, and both had occupied very responsible situations as foremen; About three years ago Mr. Mare invented a plaining machine, driven by a steam engine, but which required a certain amount of hand labour and attendance. Mr. Mare made a con tract with Reed and Harrison that they should be paid at first a fourth, and afterwards a fifth, of all the earnings of the machine, to be estimated according to the old prices, and that Reed and Harrison should find all the labour. The two foremen had also had the superinten dence of other artificers employed on the machine and elsewhere, and it had been their duty to take account of the men's time and return it to the pay-office, with the amount earned by them. It had been lately discovered, however, that they had been sending in false estimates, and committing other frauds, ever since the plaining ma chine had been in operation. Last Saturday night both Reed and Harrison attempted another fraud. They had rendered an account at the countinghouse, on the previ ous Thursday, of the work done, or pretended to be done, for the fortnight ending December 21, in which various quantities were stated, and sums charged, making a total of 1341. 3s. Pd. The fifth part to which the two foremen were entitled was 261. 15s. Pd. In the account rendered for the fortnight ending December 21, there were 3,000 feet of moulding, called Grecian ogee, and 300 feet of throat moulding was charged for, which had never been executed or returned into the stores. The storekeeper had checked the accounts with the items for the last twelve months, and found that they had received during the last twelve months 1671. 14s. more than they were entitled to on account of work which had never been executed. Mr. Newbon, after alleging other frauds, called a number of witnesses to substantiate his statement. pointed yesterday to command the Pique, 40, at Devon port, studied steam at the factory at Woolwich dock yard. The Pique is now nearly 20 years old, and still retained as a sailing-vessel, having been built at Devon port, and launched in 1834, from a design by Captain Sir William Symonds, then Surveyor of the Navy. An order was issued some time ago to adapt her for a screw propeller, and she was sent round to Pembroke for that purpose, but the order was subsequently countermanded, and the only alteration which has taken place was of a trifling nature, to give her a better gripe, and she was then taken round to Devonport, where she has now been commissioned as a sailing-vessel. Her tonnage is 1,622. About the beginning of September last we stated that the Lords of the Admiralty contemplated shortly to dis pense with the Dover mail-packet service between this country and Calais and Ostend, and that it was intended to have the mails conveyed across the Channel by con tract. The subsequent number of the Dover Chronie,;e, asserted in the strongest terms that it had official autho rity to contradict the statement we then made ; but it will now perceive that our information. was correct, as advertisements have appeared within the last 10 days, in the morning newspapers, requiring tenders to be sent in to the Secretary of the Admiralty by the 26th of Janu ary next, for the conveyance of the mails from Dover to Calais and Ostend by contract. The vessels at present employed on the mail-packet service between Dover and Calais and Ostend are the following : The Garland, Lieutenant-Commander Edward Wylde, built of wood, at Rotherhithe, from a design by Mr. 0. W. Lang, now master-shipwright at Pembroke dock yard. Her tonnage is 202, with engines of 120-horse power. The Onyx, Second Master E. C. Rutter, built of iron, by Ditchburn and Mare, Blackwall. Her tonnage is 292, with engines of 120-horse power. The Princess Alioe, Second-Master John Warman, built of iron, at Blackwall, in 1844, by Ditchburn and Mare, and her tonnage is 270, with engines of 120- horse power. The Violet, Lieutenant Henry P. Jones, built of iron, at Blackwall, in 1843, by Ditchburn and Mare, and her tonnage is 292, with engines of 120-horse power. The Vivid, Captain Smithett, built of wood at Chat ham,' from a design by Mr. 0. W. Lang, master-ship wright, and when launched in 1848 was brought round to John Penn and Son's establishment at Greenwich to be fitted with Engines of 120-horse power on the oscillat ing principle by that firm. The Undine, Second-Master Edward Lyne, built of iron, and purchased into the service in 1846, having been originally constructed by Ditchburn and Mare. Her tonnage is 284, with engines of 110-horse power. The Vivid and the Garland, being both built of wood, will be kept for service in the royal navy, and the Prin cess Alice, the Onyx, the Violet, and the ljndine, being built of iron, will be disposed of, if an eligible offer is made for them. THE INVADERS OP LOWER CAL2POR.NIA The party of adventurers who recently invaded Lower California had issued the following procla mation : "Head-quarters of the Republic of Lower California, Nov. 7. "Report of the Independence of Lower California. "On the morning of the 17th of October we sailed with the first Independence Battalion for Lower Cali tOrnia. The command consisting of 45 men, our voyage was a prosperous one to Cape St. Lucas. We landed on the 28th of October; there we gained some information of importance, and proceeded on our way to La Paz. On the 3d day of November our vessel cast anchor oppo site the town. A party was ordered by Colonel Walker to land, take possession of the town, and secure the person of the Governor—Lieutenant Gillman command ing the party. in less than 30 minutes the town was taken, and the Governor secured. "We hauled down the Mexican flag in front of the Governor's house, proclaimed the independence of Lower California, and our independent flag floated tri umphantly where but a few moments before that of Mexico had waved in supposed security. Our men, pro visions, and munitions of war were landed, the town fortified, and Colonel Walker entered upon his duties as President of the Republic of Lower California, issuing such decrees as were most congenial to the citizens, as well as to the security and comfort of his command. Here we remained until Sunday, November G, when the President determined to remove the seat of Goverment to St. Lucas. In accordance with his determination we embarked, taking with us ex-Governor Espiruosa and the public documents. Shortly after our embarkation a vessel came into port having on board Colonel Re bollero, who was sent by the Government of Mexico to supersede ex-Governor Espiruosa. A small detachment was despatched to bring Colonel Rebollero ,on board the vessel ; this order was promptly executed. "About an hour after this occurrence a party was sent on shore to procure wood. While in the act of returning to their boats they were fired upon by a large party of citizens ; this commenced the first action. This party consisted of but six men, who returned to the vessel under a heavy fire of musketry without losing a man. Meantime fire was opened upon the town with our ordnance, which was kept up until Colonel Walker landed with 30 men, when the fight became general. From the time of landing until the close of the action (a signal defeat of the enemy) was about an hour and a half. The enemy's loss was six or seven killed, and several wounded. Our men did not so much as receive a wound, except from the cactus, while ptirsuing the enemy through the chapparal ipa rear of the town. Thus ended the battle of La Paz, crowning our efforts with success, releasing Lower California from the tyrannous yoke of Mexico, and securing the establishment of a new republic. " The commercial resources and the mineral and ag ricultural wealth of the Republic of Lower California compare favourably with those of her sister republics. " Our men are all in fine health and spirits, and are as noble and determined a body as were ever collected to gether. " The officers who composed the Government are as follows : " W. Walker, President of the Republic: of Lower California. " Frederick Emory, Secretary of State. " John M. Jarnagin, SacrPtary of War. " Howard A. Snow, Secretary of the Navy. " MILITARY. " John Chapman, Major of Battalion. " Ch arles H. Gillman, Captain of Battalion. " John M`Kibber, First-Lieutenant. " Timothy Crocker, Second-Lieutenant. " Samuel Ruland, Third Lieutenant. " NAVAL. " William T. Mann, Captain of Navy, " A. Williams, First-Lieutenant. " John Grandeil, Second-Lieutenant. " Our Government has been formed upon a sure and firm basis. The civil code and code of practice of Loui siani have been adopted for the rule of decision in our courts, and as the civil law of the land. We arrived at Cape St. Lucas en Thursday, Nov. 8. On. the morn ing of the 9th the Mexican cutter Geneva cruised off the Cape. Our appearance was so forrnidabde that, she deemed prudence the better part of valour, heeled to, and gave us the slip. In the evening our troops again embarked for Magdalena Bay, where the President con templates establishing the seat of Government for the present." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM HOUSE, DEC. 29.
