It is a vvonderfully different affair from the t.(l Directory, which used to consist of little or nothing Mors than 1e al Phabetieal list of tradesmen ; it comprises now, and has for IMme Years, a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Court • ectory," a " P os t a l Di rec t or y," a " Conveyance Directory," with a host of other little digests. The volume appears to have been very ,e,arefully revised, and supplies the latest information. Of coarse, ' he Postal treaty with Prussia has not been overlooked ; and in minor Pelo ts the work seems to bear the test of search into matters in Mulch changes have been very recent. MORNING POST, Nov. 19, 1846. T he forty-eighth a n nu a l publication of this admirable work has aer jute t been jostled. Any dissertation on the usefhlneas of this volume , its well-proven service in almost every counting-house in the inetropoll s for so m a ny years Nast , must be quite anneeessary. Suf oeeoitth say, the present edition possesses all the merit of its prede o, whlle the alterations and corrections in the various depart "'s have been carried down to the latest period. MORNING HERALD, Nov. 21, 1546, hen,nalkY as the proportions of this indispensable work have hitherto ; t the volume for 1847 comes forth under circumstances off still tiler enlargement. The experience of 47 years has obviously enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory unrivallei completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be a an ted by the merchant and trader is placed within convenient : l ee s& The volume contains upwards of 2,000 closely-printed royal es Pages, betokening a singular amount of industry as a matter of compilation, and awakening astonishment at the comprehensive as of the machinery which could bring within a common focus ... ha tch varied and scattered intelligence—embracing, as it does, a eitiltiplicity of heads, and involving the services of a vast number of contributor s . We believe that the present volume is not to be ! l atched in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate of local 11 . r" aPectflc information Is no less a typographical wonder than a o i' l li loll 3 monument of diligence and enterprise. Some dozen or so separate Directors are included in this huge periodical—the only one, it S eems. of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence a veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian principle over the t P ant ehlal. The " Official Directory" is a key to the whole of the evernment officee, and a record of official personages. This is foi t°hwed by a " Street Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every thor tr, o ,d u to g ry hfa n re, and the points at which the streets are intersected by . b ,"t at right angles; while the "Commercial and Professional Trades' Directory," is an alphabetical arrangement ot the above. Then comes in which the names are allocated under their - oo "Pebtive calliogs. The "Law Directory" is a list of judges; l'o o ..""a's couns e l, sereeaa t s , b a rristers, attorneys, &c., with a C. 7 4- ties of the various Courts of Law, their officers, and their peculiar', Ot of inrisliction. The " Court Directory" comprises the addresses, the nobility and gentry ; and the " Parliamentary Directory" is " record of the NI embers of the House of Lords and Commons, h Rh' an a lphabetical li s t o f th e b o roughs, cities, and counties returniek , r ,..entbers to Pa r li amen t, th e surnames and eldest sons of peers, &c. o " e P ostal Directory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery o TerY Post -office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places „ t r?lughout the world to which mails are dispatched from London - e c,c 7 of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road m ails , . e onlo T he " City Directory" registers the civic authorities, the pubilc • t e b b ire ' , n too n ry ies ” , the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the D. • cues and chapels, the newspapers, &c. ; and the " onveyance includes the railway tahles, the coach and booking offices, a' wh arfs, & c, The volume closes with Banking and Assurance rectories. These various heade will serve to indicate the multi .nil.,ineus nature of the contents, for out of them come a variety of 11 or dinate directories. which. Meet every conceivable want, pre tiOlillag a curious analysis of the public and private institutions of : rmetropolis and of the commercial world. ,Every person is to be 'olled under his p ro p er sec ti on , f rom a . prime minister down to aitr 's officer—every establishment, from a palace to a lodging- The editor, in his preface, takes occasion. to congratulate principally on the many improvements he has this year introduced, flowing from the employment Of "selected agents," instead t he ordinary carriers of the Post-office. Among the specific &iterations, the new postage treaty.with Prussia, which came into ',aeration on the Ist et January, 1847, and disturbs to a considerable . extent the rates of postage over a great part of the Continent, seems t he most important! .• MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1846: TlTh'; Post-office London Directory, 1847," is just delivered. ghlt miparently litaited•to London, it is in reality a national Zvork. None of the leading,towns can well be .without it ; must • , an essential to every counting-housein the kingdom, as well as to I : v el7 place of business in and about the metropolis.. It is an inealu • awe work of its kind ; and the extent and minuteness of its useful de tails are truly Wond et MI. Being prepared*" under the initeediate and "'OM patronage of her Majesty's Postanaster-General," the amplest and completest means were, of coarse, at the command of the pro- Prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the voluminous • lad crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty . eighth annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can Low require particular description of the really important and usefhl Information, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di rectory. Preceded, by an admirable and perspicuous Map of London, prepared expressly. it is declared, for the work, by Mr. B. R. Davies, there are divisions comprising, among other information, "Official," "Street," "Commercial," "Trades," •`Law," "Cou r t," " Parlia atentary," " Postal," . City," " Conveyanee," "Bankino," and many wiser Directories. • The hope is expressed is the preface that this. forty-eighth annual • - edition of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found "in all respects to omitl the best of its predecessors." From very consider able ataminaeon of the marvellously full and varied contents and hssfornistion on matters which it must be so difficult, laborious, and "-pensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming Wish is liberally realised. It nqt only.elll}lle. the - best of its prede cessors but in several particulars it surpasses all its predecessors. The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are a .,"etal important alterationit ani additions; largelr adding to the " & tfulness of the book. It is intimated, and truly, that although all e ij u ra m Yktltien has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous prose AZ t here has been no relaxation in the .multifarious labours to per „7,,_ the extraordinary work. In speitking of past success, it is o _""sereed that it has been, " even in a pecuniary point of view, bone .cial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improve ments and additions are annually made without any increase of r ice "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have been the ease, had the public patronage been divided." With reference 1 0 the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful how it can be profitable to provide such varied materials - -and materials constantly changing and requiring so much and such ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing but a tremendo us sale could make the speculation answer. Among the important alterations will be found those introduced into ' the " Postal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, usefhl, and Complete ; and must much increase the daily, it might ba more truly • , pronounced its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the trader, or the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia caused very eonsiderable changes in the rates of postage as effecting the Austrian dominions, Baden. Bavaria, Bremen, Denmark, the Berman States, Hamburg, lilanover, Lubeck, Meeklenbnrgh , Olden 10.brgh, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, S weden and Norway, Wurtemburg, .go. ta. &c., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged TO QOM into operation on the Ist of January, 1847." The other ?naives are not only numerous. but all the intelligence is announced ' 0 -be brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the a ppearance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation, • o Prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. The business merits of the work are of the highest order, and render it, of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for .14 ( *repleteness, fulness, and usefulness. SUN, Nov. 18,1846. T he present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office o .'" oh tion Directory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it ",„: The " Post-office Directory" has been for some years under this manaoement of Mr. Kelly.

They ha ° e; e; however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory" "", rules sioneoi This astonishing success, however, has not had o ,"" e effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work careless. that the fruiter of his success can only be reaped by a continuance, Insta nce the tame untiring energy bwhich the success was in the first V ta nce achieved, and accordi ng ly we find that the " Post-office Dir ectory" for 1847. is even more highly finished in all its elaborate t! r angentents than any former edition of the book. The extent and i::::lauteness of the details furnished, render the work indispensable h o t v erY commercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably, th, - ,,",er , Is this multifarious information digested and arranged, that Is not the slightest difficulty experienced, in referring to the x."enlar Page required to furnish the information — a marvellous of nee of clearness of arrangement in a n ork consisting of upwards blrew° thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This one r et6 rY is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever erect to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen -0:' n ecessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment eiZ er ta, in a doubt; and consicering the completeness and fuhiess of furnished, and the enormous outlay of time and o id' L l hat must have been made in order to acquire and digest the is ° ,,: n 2„atioU, the very reasonable price at which the work is published wanderitil.

I never wrote any letter to this person. Mr. Dunn —Did you ever receive two letters from me, of which these are copies? Sir P. THEf-zonn—l object to this line of examination. I protest against your putting in copies of letters. Mr. Dunn—l want to show that Miss Coutts received let ters from-me, of which these are copies. Miss B,urdett Coutts (addreSsing herself to the jury) —I re ceived a great many letters from this person. Mr. Dunn—Did you receive two letters from me, when you were staying at the Queen's Hotel, Harrogate? 111is3 liur dett Coutts—l received two letters from a stranger, signed with this person's name. Mr. Dunn—What did you do with them? Miss Burdett Coutts—l tore them up, and threw them away amongst ether waste paper.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Dunn—Did you make any communication to Mr. Marjoribanks about me? Miss Burdett Coutts—l consulted him as a friend, and re quested him to rid me from the annoyance I was under from this person's conduct. Lord DENMAN—How do you mean to apply this evidence? Mr. Dunn—l mean to show that the two letters to which I have referred were in existence when I wrote to Mr. Mar joribanks, requesting that they might be returned, and that Miss Coitus refused to give them up. If I prove that, do I not raise the question that I had a right to presume they were retained from regard to the writer?—(Great laught.g.)* • i I may be laughed at by the Court, but I think this Isa)aiW, assumption.

Miss Burdett Coutts—l have no objection to do so, if the jury or his Lordship wish it. The jury unanimously replied—No, no. Sir F. TwEsicsr.—l am your counsel, Miss Coutts, and I must beg you will not do so. Mr. Dunn—What did you do with the letters you received from me? Miss Burdett Coutts—l sent them all to my solicitor; he had general instructions to take the necessary steps to rid me of the annoyance which I was receiving from this per son. I did not read 'all the letters which I received from this person ; for, when I ascertained them to be from him, I forwarded them to Mr. Humphreys, unopened. Mr. Dunn repeated several times the following quetition : Did you tell Mr. Humphreys to repudiate the authority which I said I had received from you to draw on your bank? —I cannot say that I did. I repeat, that I gave him general instructions to take the necessary steps. Mr. Dunn—Don't you think now, as a lady, that my let ter to Mr. Marjoribanks was one that required an answer? Sir F. THEstotta—That depends very much upon the per son'erho wrote it.—(Laughter.) ' • • - Mr. Dunn—l think you bad better get into the Witness box at once, •Sir'Frederick.—(Much laughter.) [To the • witness]—How long did you wait before giving Mr. Humphreys instructions to prosecute me? Miss Burdett • Coutts—l gave no instructions respecting an indictment; my instructions were general. Mr. Dunn then asked' Miss Coutts her opinion as to the handwriting of eeveral,persons in letters which he produced; and among these was one' from' her late father, "Sir "Francis Burdett, the handwriting...of which` - he asked her to speak to. At this last question,' which Was 'Put' by the defendant in the- most unfeeling' manner, and - amidst the disgust of the whole court, Miss Coutts became Much agitated, and, after struggling for a minute or two to conceal her emotion, drew down her veil to conceal her tears. • Lord Drormax turned with great indignation of manner towards the defendant; and said to him, " Your conduct, Sir, is extremely improper." Mr. Dunn thereupon gave up his cross-examination,' and sat down. Edward Marjoribanks was then called, and am one of the partners in Coutts's bank. I received a letter by the post from Mr. Dunn on the 13th of January, 1846, stating that he had authority from Miss Coutts to draw on the bank for such a sum as should be a compensation to him for the injuries he had received from her. Mr. Dunn afterwards called on me. He produced several papers. I said Miss Coutts's order was the paper alone I wished to see. He then produced some doggrel lines. I expressed - some surprise he should produce such a document, but said T could assure him it was not Miss Coutts's handwriting, and I called in Mr., Robinson, who stated the same fact. On the 20th of March 1846, another letter came from Mr. Dunn, stating that he should place the matter under the bankrupt laws, and asking Mies Coutts's address. Mr. Dunn wished-to put in a letter, dated - in 1838,• urging that if it led to show that he had been deluded, he had a right to put it in. Lord DENMAN considered it could not be read. Mr. Dunn—What do you do if forged cheques are pre sented. Witness—l can tell you what we do not do; we do not pay them. If an order was presented for which there was no authority, I should ask the party to leave the bank as soon as he could. I should not give him into custody. Mr. Dunn was putting a great many irrelevant questions, when , Lord DENMAN told him he was wasting a great deal of time in putting questions which had nothing to do with the matter. Witness—l recollect seeing you a second time, when Sir Edmond Antrobus was present. I never saw your bill. Mr. Robinson, one of the clerks in Coutta's bank, said—l was present when the defendant had the conversation with Mr. Marjoribanks. I told him the lines were not in Miss Coutts's handwriting. Cross-examined—I do not think you said that you be lieved the authority to be genuine, and that you should act upon it. Miss Coutts has not a private clerk in the bank. Sir Edmond Antrobus—l saw Mr. Dunn when he came with an order for money. He produced a draft for 100,0004, drawn by himself on the account of Miss Coutts, and which was as follows : " London, March 4, 1846. " Gentlemen,—Pay myself, or order, th e sum of one hun dred thousand pounds. " RICHARD DUNN, " By the authority of Mks Coutts. " Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59, Strand." I told him we had no authority. He then produced soma lines, which I told him were not in the handwriting of Miss Coutts, and therefore could be no authority. Mr. Ingleback confirmed what I had stated. Cross-examined—This is not the order you presented to us. Mr. Dunn—By the living God I had no other. Witness—The draft you presented was on a small strip of paper, and not, us this is, on a sheet of letter-paper. I did not say, " Get Miss Coutts's cheque and we will pay it." Miss Coutts has no private clerk in th e b an k. If you had signed Miss Coutts's name we should have pro ceeded against you. You ought to know best whether it is a fraud to sign by the authority of another. I suppose en deavouring to obtain money by false pretences is a crime. Mr. Dunn—Why did you not send me to Bow -street? Witness—Because we were too lenient with you. Edward Ingleback—l am a clerk in the bank. The de fendant asked me if I attended to Miss Coutts's business. I asked him what it was about. He said he had a draft to present for payment. Knowing him, I took him i n t o a private room, and he pres en t e d a draft for 100,0001. I took it to Sir Edmond Antrobus, who told him that was no authority to pay money upon. The.defendant said he had an authority, and produced something,' and the defendant was told that it was not in the writing of Miss Coutts. A little altercation took place, and Mr. Marjoribanks came into the room and told him he had had an answer to his applica tion, and desired him to leave the house. Cross-examined—This certainly is not the draft you pro duced at that time. It was the same in substance; but it is not on the same paper. You told him something to the effect that you wished to take further proceedings upon it. You pressed Sir Edmond Antrobus to mark the dishonour on the face of the bill, but he refused to do so. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Dunn then addressed the jury—They had been told that he was placed in a most painful position; he admitted. to the fullest extent, most of the observations the Learned Counsel had made, and he thanked him for not denying to him what God Almighty had given him—a sound intelli gence. Whatever he had done, he was: ready to stand or fall by it, pleading no excuse, either from the want of sa l t ciency of judgment or of intellect. If he could have lied choice he should have been defended bysonie learned counsel, f w o h l o t s a e sk c , a h li o n tditiswcroestiounonwoooeuslsdar3ha.vfoerbhcein etxoetretteldthinemthtishopatn- God mcir cumstanceshoro he that a lcompelledodto witness him histp d o e a f m e t n h d and himself before de puty,ttieand'before the jury, to his belief, the step that djus w ei h fy o t now to thporehsoiadted, of the er jeuxriydetnhcee oathin su support of vindicate the judge aii lie thhaedistraokseecnntioTni,leayndhatdo n c o o w n constitute heard titute p be false to the knowl ed g e of the p art y making it; it must be done with a fraudulent and wicked intention—it was only upon their being satisfied , not merely that the docu ment was not the lady's handwriting, but that he knew it to be a fabricated instrument, that they could come to the con clusion that he was guilty of the crime laid to his charge.

His letters were put in the post, and by the post he received replies, to them. It was a hard thing to assert that Miss Coutts would practise such a diabolical fraud upon him. He would not go the length of saying that she had done so, but he would prove that he neither knew, directly nor indirectly, Miss Coutts's hand writing, nor did he know that those letters came from any other party than the one to whom he had written in reply. He would ask, then, would any man amongst them, if he received a letter from a party and answered it, and got another letter back, and so on for four letters—would they, as rational men, doubt that they were genuine letters? The conduct of this lady was such 48 to lead his mind to the conclusion that she was under restraint, and Mr. Maijoribanks was the party who stood between him and this most unhappy lady—for unhappy she was in every way, so far as he could learn.—(Shouts of laughter.) 'They might la)gh, but it was no laughing matter for him ; it was a serious and grave imputation—that of having been wickedly led into making an affidavit, which he had done, supposing the authority to be genuine.

As a mere compilation, it is probably the most wonderful on record. ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1846. This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office ; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the man ner of collecting the information ; said a larger portion of the work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, but has introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its balk with out any increase of price. The Postal Direetory' is especially im proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a" very lively effusion, to be seen in another column; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the " Directory" will th,d that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial Country this is an indispensable volume. • RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of the Post-office Directory for 1847 is already in our hands, and we can only -express our wonder that a work so laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. Tie pro duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and Indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed he subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves en pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. HERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements aeon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is *not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was dene in the last, to wrest it from the hands of the present proprietary, and to pla.e it by the force of might over right in the possession of Government. But should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con ductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Govern ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub lished before the purchase of the copyright by 1,8 preset.i proprietor, to be convinced that the mere ednnexion of the Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to Its present high cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toil and application on the part of these engaged in the com pilation of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended sueceisfully with this. They have di-appeared." -Kelly and Co., 19 and 20, Old Roswell-court, Temple Bar, and all booksellers. NATIONAL LOAN - PUNA!) LIFE ASSUR .. .ANct SOCIETY; 26 CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital.£soo,ooo.

This polltleal topic is certainly one Which is very Irell suited to MOSES and SON. The Chancellor's Budget appears to possess many very good hints wnicri pertain to cheap dress ; But the part of the speech whick appears to stand chief, Is the grant of " Ten Millions" for yielding relief, This certainly sounds very loud in the Budget, But good is the purpose, and none will begrudge it : Both Scotland and Ireland, two sisters in woe, Will quickly revive with the help we bestow, Much, much of this vast sum of money, no doubt, By the poor of each country will soon be laid out, Not only in buying provision to eat, But dress tor the body, and shoes for the feet ; And here may a treble advantage be won, By obtaining the garments of MOSES and SON. If all the " Ten Millions" in dress were laid out, E. MOSES and SON would be ready no doubt.

Avoca.—At the village of Avoch, in Ross-shire, very determined opposition was made by the fishermen and others of the villagers, upon Friday and Saturday last, to an attempt, by Mr. George More, farmer and corn dealer, to ship some barley. Mr. More having applied for protection in the shipment, Mr. Jardine, the sheriff of the county, accompanied by Mr. Cameron, the sheriff substitute, Mr. Mackenzie, the procurator-fiscal, and some officers, repaired to Avoch upon Friday, and were joined there by Sir Jas. Mackenzie, Mr. Davidson, of Tulloch, and others. Arrangements had been made for procuring from Fort-George, the aid of a company of the 76th Regi ment; but the forenoon was so stormy that they could not be brought across the ferry in time to render their ser vices available that day. In their absence the sheriff and his party endeavoured, but in vain, to obtain ac cess to the vessel, which lay at the pier-head to receive the grain. Previously to their arrival, the entrance to the pier had been barricaded by means of boats reversed, and, when they came up, a crowd of from 100 to 200 men and women, old and young, expressed to them, very unequivocally, their resolution to obstruct the grain in its passage to the ship. Proceedings were. in conse quence, delayed until Saturday forenoon, when the au thorities and their friends re-appeared, supported by sixty men and two officers from the Fort. The villagers had, in the meantime, loosened the vessel from her moorings, and it was not until about two o'clock the I state of the tide admitted of her being afloat ; but several of the fishermen entered their boats in the harbour, wit ' the evident design of drawing her away, should she move towards the pier. The people were addressed, and reasoned with by the Sheriff and others to no purpose. One of the crowd read aloud the nesolutions of a meeting held about a fortnight ago, containing a pledge, subscribed by Mr. More among others, not to export any more grain from the district this season. This was rather an untoward circumstance ; and we doubt whether the Sheriff, had he known it earlier, would have felt himself bound to comply with the requisition for protection. All parties being now on the ground, h oweve r, it was too late to retrace th e i r steps, and explanations and argu ments have failed to induce the people to retire, the sol diers were ordered to secure the command of the pier— the boats lying across, the access to which were literally covered with women—and the Sheriff read the Riot Act. The people continued determined to resist, saying they might as well die then as starve for want of food ; but as the preparations for a conflict approached maturity, Mr. More cons ulted his friends, and came forward and declared that, " to pre vent bloodshed," he had resolved to abandon the intended shipment, and to retain the grain in the count r y —u p on which the pe o pl e c h eere d and chaired him. Three young men, considered to have been active in the riot, were , ap prehended o n th e s p ot , an d sent away t o the prison of Dingwall under a military escort, and so the affair has ended for the present. Farmers and corn-dealers .in Ross-shire complain th a t th ey are su bjected to great n convenience by suspen s i on o f s hi pmen ts of grain , owing which has been to the non-arrival of the 27th regiment, expected in Fort George for th e l as t three week s—the ' whole disposable force in th e ga rrison having now been dispatched to Caithness, to quell the food riots in that county. —lnverness Courier.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 27. (Before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury, at Guidhall.) THE QUEEN V. DUNN. Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Hawkins appeared for Miss Burdett Coutts, the prosecutrix in this case ; and Mr. Dunn, a quondam Irish barrister, defended himself, The case, with the character of which the public are fami liar, attracted to the court, which was densely crowded throughout the proceedings, an unusual concourse of spec tators. Expectation was on the tiptoe to see Mr. Dunn brought face to face with the rich heiress whom he has so long persecuted by his addresses, and to hear what he had to say in justification of the extraordinary case made out against him. The Court commenced its sitting at half-past nine o'clock, and at that hour Mr. Dunn, whose appearance, though decidedly Hibernian, is not unprepossessing, took his seat within the bar, at one end of the space allotted to Queen's counsel. He is a man between forty and fity years of age, his hair rather grey, about the middle height, well dressed, with a gentlemanly bearing and an intelligent expression. His manner throughout the proceedings was confident and unabashed, and while at some moments he became greatly excited in the conduct of his case, he never appeared to lose the self-possession which a firm re liance on the merits of one's cause is generally supposed to Inspire._ Miss Burdett Coutts was present in court during the whole proceedings. She sat beside Lord Denman on the bench, and was accompanied by Mrs. 0. Cave and Lord Sandon. Troughout the sitting she preserved a dignified composure of manner, which gained for her general sympathy, as all felt how deeply her feelings must have been wounded by the details of this extraordinary and yet ridiculous trial. Mr. HawKiNs opened the pleadings by stating that this , was an indictment for wilful and corrupt perjury, assigned on an affidavit sworn by the defendant in the Court of Bank ' ruptcy, on the 31st of March, 184 G; The defendant had pleaded Not Guilty, and upon that plea issue was joined. Sir FREDERICK THESIGER then stated the case to the jury. He said that, considering the serious nature of the charge against the defendant, and the consequences that must inevitably follow upon conviction, he desired as far as possible to abstain from introducing any topics which might seem to be irrelevant, or calculated to prejudice the defendant. But the case itself was one of so peculiar and extraordinary a nature, and the grounds on which the defendant had at tempted, and probably would again attempt, to justify his con duct were so strange, that he should necessarily require to make a short preliminary explanation. The perjury was charged to nave been committed in an affidavit filed by the defendant in the Court of Bankruptcy, for the purpose of prosecuting a fiat against the prosecutrix, Miss Burdett Coutts; and in order to justify the statement which was made in the affi davit, that Miss Burdett Coutts was indebted to him, the de fendant alleged that he had from he an authority to draw upon the banking-house of Messrs. Coutts and Co., for a sum of money which should be a com pensation for certain injuries which he supposed he had received at Miss Coutts's hands. It would be absolutely necessary, therefore, in order to refute the ab surd notion which was to be made the ground of defence, that he should state a few facts, nearly all of which would be established under the handwriting of the defendant. They were aware that the prosecutrix (Miss Burdett Coutts) was the daughter of the late Sir Francis Burdett, and the grand daughter of Mr. Coutts; that she derived her name and con siderable property from her grandfather, and that she repre sented the interest which he had in the banking concern. The defendant (Mr. Dunn) was an Irish barrister, but had not been in practice for a number of years. He had been resident in this country, and was a person not in very affluent circumstances. For a long series of years he had been pursuing a course of conduct towards Miss Coutts of the most offensive and annoying description. lie had pin.- sued her from place to place, persecuted her with letters ot a most extraordinary character, sometimes breathing the most ardent and passionate affection, at others pretend. ing he was entitled to institute legal proceedings against her for some imaginary wrong, or the breach of some supposed engagement, and by persevering in this conduct he had caused her to lead a life of continued anxiety and apprehension. During the whole of this trying period she had been prudently and cautiously acting under the advice of friends, aided by professional as. sistance. She had been compelled, on more than one occasion, to resort to the law for protection, and under the proceedings so instituted, Mr. Dunn had occasionally been imprisoned for want of sureties to keep the peace towards the lady. There had been other proceedings in the courts of law, in which, unfortunately, Miss Coutts's name had been dragged before the public in connexion with that of Mr. Dunn, and which had, unhappily, given to this case a most painful notoriety. That the object of the defendant had been to extort money he thought they could have no doubt. He seemed to have flattered himself' that Miss Burdett Coutts might be disposed to make no inconsiderable sacrifices to rid herself of his im portunities, which had actually rendered her life miserable. faking that as their guide to the conduct of the defendant, he thought it would go far to explain to them his last daring effort, far beyond anything which lie had ever previously attempted, which had brought him within the range of the Criminal Courts, and made him subject to the present in dictment. His attack commenced by letters on the 13th of January, 1846 ; one to Mr. Marjoribanks, a partner in Messrs. Coutts's bank, and the other to the prosecutrix herself. The letter to Mr. Marjoribanks was as follows.— ' "I deem it my duty to inform you that I have received an authority from your partner, Miss Coutts, to draw upon your bank for compensation for the injuries, &• c., she has i n fli c t e d upon me. Previ ous ly t o m y d o i ng so i t is only right to show you the authority, it not being in the usual form, although it is the genuine authority of that lady, to whom it is not my wish to act with unkindness. I don't wish to incon venience you, or to draw the sum out of the bank at present. The authority is good or bad. I have tested it in every way in my power, and I believe it to be genuine; and I shall act on it as such, affording you every reasonable opportunity of satisfying yourself. I shall inform Miss Coutts of my inten tion to take this step. I purpose to call to-morrow after noon, so as to give you time to communicate the contents of this letter to her." The defendant then wrote the following letter to Miss Coutts: " It is my intention to call at your bank to-morrow, to test Your sincerity and liberality, as I have before informed you. I apprised Mr. Marjoribanks of this my intention by a letter of the same date as this. It is my wish to act with strict honour to you, as I have heretofore endeavoured to do. It is my wish to leave the sum in your bank for the present, and it was my wish to solicit the honour of an interview with you, that we might pessibly come to some understanding, to remove the bitterness of the past and the future, and if you think I can contribute to your happiness, I shall be yours. If you cannot have rue, the sum 1 draw shall be in full of all demands. If you ever wish to have the protection of a man's arm, send for the man who writes thi s , an d if any man ' s arm can protect you, mine is at your com man d . " The defendant did not call on the following day, but on the day after tJan.ls) lie presented hi mse lf at the banking house, and was introduced into a private room, where he saw Mr. Marjoribanks, and during the int erv i ew b etween them a clerk went into the room. Mr. Dunn endeavoured to get Mr. Marjoribanks into conversation, which that gentleman declined. He then produced as his authority from Miss C Coutts a copy of doggrel v erses . Mr. Marjor i banks imme diately denied it to be in Miss Coutts's writing, and the clerk said the same. On the 23d of January h e wrote again to the prosecutrix : " I think it right to inform you that I called upon Mr. Marjoribanks, who informed me that you have not given any authority to pay me any sum of money; but this will not alter the legal effect of your order, although it may the moral ; and putting me to prove your handwriting will but enlighten the eyes of the community." The jury would observe the cautious steps by which the de fendant proceeded. He began by intimating to the bank that he had authority to draw upon it, which authority he must have received from Miss Burdett Coutts, and yet he wrote to her, warning h er t h at h e was about to make the aprliation to the bank, and giving her en opportunity of stetping forward an d preventing any publicity which might aril by making some sacrifice of money to him ; and before he took the next step he wrote a letter couched in threaten ing language, evidenly endeavouring to act upon her fears, ane induce her to prevent the step being taken which had ultimately led to this prosecution. No notice was taken of this letter, and he then wrote the following letter to Messrs. Coutts:— --,- .Gentlemen,—lt will be necessary for me to present my bill to-morrow at your bank, for payment of the sum I deem, under the circumstances, ciolipr shall for the injuries in sbhymlM.nistsoCAolut.t ma _do so on the authority l aer f ks by me. of that a l n ad in y e , be paid it will release your 'oribaalnl from all legal and moral obligations to me, and I Shall P be ready If my bill to sign any document to that effect. If not paid I shall opt the most summary proceedings to protect myselffrom any further outrages I am daily receiving and have been long subjected to. Ido not intend to draw the amount out of your bank if you think proper to allow it to remain. Contrasting the injuries I h ave h received, and my consequent er immense wealth, I shall draw for position, with the position of your partner, and one year's income, whi c h I understand to be 100,000/. lam content to receive the amountamountof one year's income, be it less, if I am paid the After this letter th e defendant if i again it be n a r p o p r e e a . ; appeared at the bank, and saw Sir Edmend A ntrobus, to whom he presented his draught for lece JOO/. He was asked by Sir Edmond to show his authority., and ne produced the same paper he had exhi bited before to M r . Majoribanks. He was again told that it was not the wr iti ng o f Mi ss C ou tts, so that there were, there fore, four persons who had given him that assurance. On the 19th of March the defendant wrote this letter to Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor for Miss Coutts:— " In consequence of my bill, drawn on Messrs. Coutts, pur suant to authority given me by your client, not having been honoured, I am proceeding under the bankruptcy law to en force payment of it. It is necessary the summons to pay should be served on your client, who I am informed has left her residence, for what place I cannot ascertain. Under the circumstances, will you undertake, if I leave the summons with you, that it should be attended to ? I shall call to morrow for the answer." The answer was in these terms : " Your letter left with me yesterday obliges me to answer it by saying that Miss Coutts owes you nothing, never did owe you anything, and never gave or sent you any authority to draw any bill or make any demand upon her or upon any one else. Th e re being no business upon which you can desire to see me, I desire that Sou will not call at my office, or write to me; and I have given my clerks instructions not to hold any conversation with you," The defendant called the next day, received the letter, said with an oath that it was no answer, and tore it up. This application not advancing his object, he wrote to the bank ing-house on the 20th of March, 1846 " The circumstances in which I am placed by your partner, Miss Coutts, make it absolutely unavoidable in me to seek to obtain payment of my demand against her by the most effectual remedy the law points out. I have, therefore, taken t h e necess ary: steps to bring my demand within the Bank ruptcy Court; but on sending to Miss Coutt's residence, I cannot obtain information where I can have the notice served on her; and upon asking Mr. Humphreys he has refused to give the information. This course on your partner's behalf would amount to an act of bankruptcy. wishing to prevent any such circumstance, I trust you will give the necessary information, that justice may be done, for I cannot permit this matter longer to remain unsettled." Messrs. Coutts answered thus:— " Messrs. Coutts and Co. have received Mr. Dunn's letter, and they beg to decline any interference or with him on the subject to which it Ire ates, crr any subject whatever." PRICE SD. Now, it appeared that at that time Mr. Dunn had made pre paration for proceeding against Miss Coutts under the bank ruptcy law, for a letter was directed by him to Stratton street, which contained a demand in these terms : "To Miss Angela Burdett Coutts, of No. 1, Stratton street, Piccadilly, and of 59, Strand, both in the city of West minster.—The following are the particulars of the demand of the undersigned Richard Dunn, barrister-at-law, of No. 8, Upper Ranelagh- street, in the said city of Westminster, against you, the said Angela Burdett Coutts, amounting to the sum of 100,0001—(Loud and continued laughter)-=being the amount of a certain bill drawn by me on the bank of Coutts and Co., of which you are a partner, and so drawn by me by virtue of your authority, given to me for that purpose, and which said bill you directed me to draw, as compensation for divers injuries done and inflicted on me by you, and which said bill was refused payment at your said bank, al though you promised that the same should be duly paid, and which bill is still unpaid. Take notice that 1, the said Richard Dunn, hereby require immediate payment of the said sum of 100,000/. Dated this 10th day of March, 1846. "RICHARD DUNN, Barrister. at-Law." This demand was dated nine days before the date of the letter addressed to Mr. Humphreys. Of course, the demand was treated with utter contempt, and then the defendant wickedly, deliberately, and knowingly made the following false affidavit in the Court of Bankruptcy:— "Richard Dunn maketh oath and saith, that A. B. Coutts is justly and truly indebted to this deponent, Richard Dunn, in the sum of 100,0001. by virtue of a certain bill drawn by this deponent on the bank of Messrs. Coutts and Co., by the especial authority in writing given by the said A. B.

The defendant had made another affidavit for the purpose of removing the trial from the Old Bailey into this Court, and in that affidavit he set forth the supposed authority which was given by Miss Burdett Coats, and which was in these words . " Oh, Mr. D., You've spoilt all our fun By your very imprudent advances; Why didn't you meet Me, except in the street— Why not meet me at routs or at dances? "You called me' fair girl!' Till you made my head twirl, So that all the fools thought I was silly ; At the window I stood, With my tears in a flood— You were posted just in Piccadilly. " When to Harrogate sweet Papa beats a retreat, To take spa water supersulphureous, I could hear your heart thump As we stood near the pump, While you bolted that stuff so injurious. " Oh ! how, my dear pet, Can I saver forget That mixture of love and aversion ; Of Jove for your lass, And disgust for your glass, Just like a teetotal conversion ? " When poor papa's gout Put us all to the rout; And drove us to Norwood hotel, Your flame growing stronger, You couldn't wait longer, So posted away there as well. " Our servants to cool Your heat in the pool, And cure you of love so mysterious, Immersed you therein, Nearly up to the chin; • What a scene both of comic and serious? " But such are the antics That come from romantics, When once they lay hold of the brain, That you term it ' Baptizing My lover,' and prizing My dower as much as love's chains. " My pretensions grew grander, 'Till stern Alexander, By a capias ad sat. capiendum, Put the lock on your love, And'caged my sweet s dove, With his billings and cooings, to end 'em. " But at last I'm relenting, My jewel, repenting Of all that you have suffered for me ; Nay, I'm even grown tender, , Disposed to turn lender Of cash, your sweet person to free. " Send to Coutts's your bill— There are lots in the till— I'll give the Clerk orders to do it, Then get your discharge, Your steer body enlarge, And in Stratton-street do let me view it. "And, by the by, love, My affection to prove, For your long cruel incarceration Fill a good round sum in 1 (As I've plenty of tin), To make you a fair compensation. "A. B. C." (Bursts of laughter followed the reading of each stanza in this curious production, in the last two verses of which the supposed authority to draw on Messrs. Coutts was con veyed.) The Learned Counsel read the affidavit, which was a long document, and contained several very important allega tions. It set forth that the defendant had been imprisoned three times on charges by Miss Burdett Coutts; that she was in fear of bodily harm, nay, her life, from the defendant, whilst all the time she was, by letters shown by him to a gentleman of respectability and character, pretending that she felt an honourable esteem and affection for the defendant. It stated that the letters he received from Miss Burdett Coutts purported to be answers to his letters., that he had compared the handwriting with that of Miss Burdett Coutts on record in the Crown office of the Court, in the presence of different officers and clerks, several of whom expressed their opinions on the similarity of the handwriting. The affidavit also set forth that two persons had compared the letters received by him with Miss Coutts's writing, which they had seen her write. and offered to speak to their genuineness in a court of justice. It stated that the de fendant did not press the case in the Court of Bankruptcy from motives of delicacy; that he had refused the sums of 10,0001. and 15,0001. offered as compensation for his in juries, by persons authorised to do so; that he had lost, in consequence of Miss Coutts'a persecutions, a property of nearly 500/. per annum, besides his profession and its emo luments for eight years. On the ridiculous terms of the alleged authority to draw, Sir Frederick Thesiger con tended that the fabrication and uttering of a formal solemn authority to draw might have been considered by the defendant as placing him in considerable jeopardy; whereas, if he framed and used a document in absurd doggrel verses, such as that upon which he relied, he would protect him self from all serious consequences. The ridiculous cha racter of the authority was one of the strongest causes which induced him (Sir Frederick Thesiger) to think that it was part of a system ingeniously contrived by the de fendant to act upon Miss Burdett Coutts's fears of a ludi crous exposure, and to extort money thereby, at the same time that he sheltered himself from punishment. He was quite aware that there were many parts of the details into which he had entered which were calculated to excite a feeling of ridicule, and there might be some portion of the conduct of the defendant which might lead to the suspicion that they were the effusions of a disordered mind. If the de fendant was a person in that unhappy situation—if he was not accountable for his acts, he would be an object for corn passion, not for prosecution—he would be a subject for re straint, not for punishment. But he (Sir F. Thesiger) had never heard suggested, in the course of the whole proceedings which had unhappily taken place in consequence of the de fendant's conduct, that he was a person in such a state of mind as not to be responsible for his acts ; and, unless there was anything either in the circumstances of the case itself, or in any of the evidence which might be addressed to them that day to lead the minds of the jury to that conclusion, they would abandon it. He thought he had stated enough to lead their minds to the conclusion that Mr. Dunn, at the time he swore his affidavit before the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, was aware of its being false, and, if that were so, he apprehended the only course open for the jury to pursue was to find him guilty of the perjury charged in the indictment. The following evidence was then adduced : Mr. Iron produced the affidavit made by the defendant in the Court of Bankruptcy on the 30th of March, 1846. Mr. Edwards, Usher of the Court of Bankruptcy, stated that he administered the oath to the defendant. He was not certain whether the Court was sitting at the time, but it was the custom to administer the oath when the registrar was there. Mr. J. F. Miller, the registrar of the Court of Bank ruptcy, stated that the affidavit of the 30th of March was sworn before him, on the authority of the sth and 6th of Victoria, c. 122, 8.67. The Court, he believed, was not sitting at the time. Mr. C. Humphreys, solicitor for the prosecution, stated that the signature to the affidavit was in the handwriting of Mr. Dunn, and also the body of the affidavit. The only means which he had of knowing that it was so was from the letters which he had received from Mr. Dunn. Mr. Dunn—lf you come to that conclusion from that cir cumstance, would you think it an extraordinary stretch of imagination if I came to the same conclusion with regard to other persons? Mr. Humphreys—l can only answer for myself. Mr. Bailey, clerk to Mr. Justice Patteson, producel the affidavit on the 29th of June to remove the proceedings into this Court by certiorari ; there was no affidavit filed in answer to it, although the proceedings were adjourned for three or four days. Mr. Fisher, clerk to Mr. Justice Wightmari, stated that lie administered the oath on that affidavit to the defendant. Mr. Humphreys being recalled, said that the handwriting in the body of the affidavit produced, and the signature to it, were those of the defendant. (The documents referred to in the opening speech of Sir F. Thesiger were here put in.) Cross-examined by Mr. Dunn—l have been solicitor to Miss Burdett Coutts since 1838, and during that period have been engaged for her in other matters besides t h e prosecu tions against you.. Mr. 'Dunn—lt has been a very lucrative business for you, Mr. Humphreys.—( Laughter.) ::Pray, how many prosecu tions have you had against me? Mr. Humphreys -_I think four. The first was at Harrogate, upon which you were sent to York Castle ; the second at Bow-street, before Sir F. Roe, upon which you were imprisoned irt Tothill-fields Prison. Mr. Dunn—Well, the third?—(Laughter.) Mr. Humphreys—The third was in Middlesex, and the fourth was that now before the Court; upon one of these oc casions, before Lord Denman, you were discharged. Mr. Dunn—Do you believe his Lordship would have dis charged me if he thought Miss B. Coutta was in danger of bodily harm from me? Mr. Humphreys hesitated. Mr. Dunn—Come, come, Mr. Humphreys, don't be afraid; his Lordship will not be vexed with. you.—(Laughter.)
