James Townshend Saward, (dim The Barrister, alias Jim the Penman, and James Anderson were this morn ing placed at the bar charged with various forgeries to a large amount on the City banks. The prisoners were arraigned before Mr. Commissioner Prendergast and pleaded not guilty. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Sleigh prose cuted ; the prisoners were undefended. The briefs had b yen prepared and were ready for delivery to counsel, but the prisoners were unable to provide the necessary fees, and consequently they were unrepresented. Saward, before pleading, mentioned the circumstance, and a-ked that counsel might be assigned, because he would then be able to prove his innocence. He was informed by the Clerk of Arraigns that under any circumstances he must plead to the indictments. He accordingly pleaded not guilty. On the Chief Baron and Mr. Baron Bramwell taking I their seats on the bench, Saward addressed their lordships, and said that up to four o'clock last night he understood that be was to be represented by counsel. He then found that that was not to be the case, and as the briefs were ready, be asked their lordships to assign him counsel, and adj nun the court for a quarter of an hour, which would be sufficient time for counsel to comprehend the case. If his appli cation were refused be must leave his case in the hands of the court. The Chief Baron—How long have you known that you were to be tried this morning. The arrangement for your trial to-day was made by me in the course of last week. Saward—Four days, my lord. I think it Wa3 on Monday. The Chief Baron— I have no power to assign counsel in this case. • Saward—Then I must leave myself entirely in the hands of the court. _ The Chief Baron—With the exception of treason and in one other case I have no power to assign oeueeet. I have no control over the bar, but I know that it occasionally happens on circuit that learned counsel, at the request of the judges, watch cases for undefended prisoners. I can't, however, do that in this case. Saward—lf I could be assisted with counsel I hope I should be able to establish my innocence. The Chief Baron—lf you have not the means of ob taining counsel through your friends, I have no power to interfere with counsel. Saward—l have no means of doing it. The case then proceeded. Sir F. Thesiger thea addressed the jury for the prosecution, and in stating the charge said that he deeply regretted that Seward should have been obliged to address the court on the want of legal assistance, because it might appear as if he bad been deprived of it- The first intimation the prosecutor had had on the pint was Saward's application to the court that morning, they having given him notice on Saturday that to-day had been fixed for his trial. Saward—Yes, Sir Frederick. It was Saturday. Sir F. Thesiger continued —What it was that pre vented Seward from obtaining legal assistance he (Sir F. Thesiger) did not know ; but he had only one duty to perform, and to commence the case with the disad vantage under which Seward was placed by his own act. The charge against the prisoners was of a serious cha racter, involving the highest punishment known to the law, except capital punishment, and therefore he need not ask them to give the case their careful and patient attention. The prisoner Seward, he regretted to say, was a barri'ter, having been called to the bar in 1840 by the society of the Inner Temple, to which he (Sir F. Thesiger) had the honour to belong, and he need not say that, under these circumstances, how gratifying it would be to him to feel the assurance that there was no foundation for the seri ous charge against him. The prisoner Anderson was, he believed, formerly a gentleman's servant, and after wards waiter at different hotels. The charge agaiTest the prisoners would be mainly supported by the evidence of two persons named Attwell and Hardwicke, who were accomplices with the prisoners in the offence with which they were charged, and who were now under sentence of transportation upon convictions that had taken place against them. Of course they would per fectly understand that it was absolutely necessary that their evidence should be confirmed to the satisfaction of the jury by the testimony of witnesses who were un tainted with crime. Attwell was introduced to Saward in 1855. He had previously been convicted of a felony and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. Hardwick° first became acquainted with Saward about twenty or thirty years ago. He was some years since con victed of an offence and sentenced to transpor tation. He was sent to Hobart Town, and there ob tained his ticket and established himself in business, which proved extremely prosperous. He made several voyages to England and back in the way of business, and ultimately arrived in this country in May last, and very soon afterwards renewed his acquaintanc e and intimacy with Seward. It would appear that fromthe time when Attwell and Seward became acquainted, and Hardwicke's return from Australia, the prisoners at the bar—Attwell, Hardwick°, and some others_asso ciated themselves together for the purpose of committing forgeries on the city and metropolitan bankers, and the system that they pursued was highly ingenious, and would be detailed in the course of the evidence he should call before them. It would ap pear that the prisoners procured the cheques of different individuals, and blank cheques on their bankers, and then Seward, having an unhappy facility of imitating handwriting, forged the cheques in the names of the parties from whom the cheques had been obtained. Andersen was in the habit of taking lodgings in a feigned name, and there answered advertisements in the newspapers, of persons in want of employment. They were desired to call on Anderson, and when there, they were used as instruments to pass off the forged cheques. They wore first emp lo y ed on some indifferent errand and watched by Att well and Hardwicke to become well acquainted with the pri soners, and when they were sent to the banking houses with the cheques they followed them on omnibuses and - on font, placing themselves near the banking houses and ( within sight to see what passed, and if the person presenting the cheque was detained, they hurried off to their con- I federates at a place previously arranged for meeting, where they gave warning, and they all immediately sepa rated. If the cheques were paid then Anderson usually met the person who had the money either in the street or at a public-house, and there received the money nnaking as an excuse that he characters, and, if satisfactory, and wou i g d o i t n u d r o e f t a h b e o u p t a t r h t i e e i s r , send for them. The parties concerned in these acts then assembled at a public-house, when the money was produced, and Seward generally divided the money ac cording to each man's share in the transaction. The learned gentleman then minutely detailed the circum stances of the transactions on which the charges against the prisoners were founded, and which were fully re ported in The Sun in December and January last, when the prisoners were under examination at the Mansion house. In referring to that part where Seward was appre hended by Moss and Huggett, two detective officerA, Sir F. Thesiger repeated the conversation between Seward and Moss in the cab, when Saward said., " It is no use denying it ; I'm Jim Seward." Saward—l said' no euoh thing. Sir F. Thesiger—lt would be better tot to interrupt my statement, but wait till I call the evidence and then contradict it. Saward—l contradicted it most emphatically at the Mansion-house. Sir F. Thesiger—l know you did. The Chief Baron (to the prisoner)—You must be well aware that it is irregular to interrupt a narrative. It true it must be supported in evidence. Saward—Yes ; but all evidence is not true. The Chief Baron—All evidence may not be true, but we must hear it to know if it be true or false. You bad better hear the narrative, and watch the evidence and see if it is true. Sir F. Thesiger then continued his narrative of the facts, and in conclusion said that it was not to he ex pected on an occasion of this kind that the accomplices should be confirmed in every statement, for probably in most cases it would be impossible to be done, but they must be confirmed in such facts as would lead any reasonable man to the conclusion that the substan tial part of their story which perhaps might not be corroborated by other evidence was true. With regard to the connection between the parties, he need not do more after the denial referred to by Saward than refer to the strong circumstance of the letters which were written by himon occasion of Attwell and Hardwicke's transactions at Yarmouth, which led to their apprehension, and, subsequently, to that of the prisoners, to show that he associated with those persons, a knowledge of whom he utterly denied, He would not press any particular part of the evidence against the pri soners on the jury's consideration, under the circumstances in which they were placed from having no legal assist ance. They, however, were the judges of the prisoners' guilt or innocence on this charge—of great importance to them ; but he should not have done his duty if he bad not laid before them the facts, which he believed he should be able satisfactorily to prove. The learned counsel then called evidence. The first witness was Henry Attwell, wlio inflow under sentence of transportation for life. He was dressed in a convict's dress, and looked remarkably well in health. The facts to which he deposed are now so well known to the public that their repetition after the statement of Sir F. Thesiger is unnecessary. In his cross-examination by the prisoners nothing occurred to shake the main facts deposed to by him. father and mother of the bride, whose example be en- • j tined the young couple to emulate as the best mode of - -- , Yesterday afternoon a marriage was celebrated with insurieg a happy existence here and attaining a blissful great pomp and splendour at Gunnerabury - park , near hereafter.

Gunnersbury Park, once the ab )de of a monarch's favourite sister, and now the suburban retreat of a " Merchant Prince," whose ancestral line dates beyond monarchies, yesterday witnessed a scene and an occa sion perhaps the most impressive and picturesque that ever found record in matrimonial annals. The marriage by Hebrew ceremonial of the Baron Alphonse de Rothschild to his cousin Leonora, the beau tiful daughter of the Baron and Baroness Lionel de Rothschild, the popular bead of the family in this coun try, is an alliance which may not inaptly be said to have an European interest. In preparation for this event extensile arrangements have been for soma time in progress at Gunnersbury. The main feature of these has been the extension of the magnificent dining-room, Bo as to accommodate the nu merous guests bidden to the festival. This tempormy expansion of the mansion—fully 35 f-et beyond its already large dimensions—and receding into sweeping recesses walled with mirrors framed with trellis and att,ficial flowerwork, was lined in every disposable form with the choicest exotics in all the bloom and perfume of Oriental nature. Draperies of white and blush-rose colour radi ated from 40 compartments, into which the ceiling was made to subdivide—every decoration being of the most tasteful character, and the whole amply illuminated with costly chandeliers and numerous candelabra. The general decorations of the house are of pure white and gold. As the appointed hour for the commencement of the solemn rites approached, the observer could not fail to note in every significant detail the symbolic evidences of a poetic, devout, and imaginative race. Of these tokens, among the most expressive may be mentioned the bridal canopy, suggestive of the great attributes of Jehovah — Truth, Space, and the Providential Eye. This canopy was supported at each corner by Barons Nathaniel and Alfred Rothschild, brothers of the bride ; and Barone Ferdinand and James Rothschild, the bridegroom's Lro there, officiating as groomsmen. A portion of the solemnity, at which only the contracting parties and their immediate relatives were present, bad already taken place in an upper apartment of the mansion, when at half-past four o'clock the flutter of expectation which had pervaded the brilliant, assemblage was checked by the entrance of the Chief Rabbi, the Rev. Dr. Adler, robed in canonical garments, and attended by his assistant priests, the Rev. Simon Asher, the Rev. A. Greene, and the Rev. Samuel Lyons. The Chief Rabbi having taken his position in front of the canopy, the nuptial procession entered the saloon. The bridegroom—a handsome young man with a fine open countenance—entered first, supported by his father and father-in-law ; and then came the bride, be tween her mother and mother.in-law, the betrothed pair first meeting under the canopy. The fair bevy of brides maids included the following ladies : ed to offer to your consideration a toast which claims it, not only upon its intrinsic merits, but for the largeness of the constituency I represent. (Laughter.) Possibly it mal t be said that as lano not among them lam not entitled to r m . present them ; but I had the honour to conduct twy j of them into this saloon, and it is to the amplitude of their dresses, and not to any desertion on my part, that I owe my banishment to this small borough. (Great laughter occasioned.by its being observed that the bon. member was seated by himself at a small table in the centre of the room). However, I can truly say they have my sympathies. (Laughter). Their number is to me rather an ominous one —it is the number of 1.6. (Roars of laughter). Faithful to my duty, and look.ing at these bright stars rather i n th e l ight of an astrologe r than a prophet, I should say that they have well per. formed their duty in revolving round that constellation which I regret to say has become a fixed star. (Re. newed laughter). Before dinner we all saw the care. mony of breaking a wine glass, and I have had a small piece as a memento presented to me. Might Ibe p er mitten to suggest that, in carrying out that feeling of entente cordiale, which is so much prized in this country, 16 other young gentlemen may be imported to break i s other glasses with my constituents. (Cheers). The bridesmaids is the toast lam about to give. . (Cheers). I going to say I was sorry I was not i n a state e s o a f l mot life s to take one of them myself. (Laughter). But if I am not, I see many around who are willing an' anxious to do so, and if any one should come forward.l should be most happy to propose their health. (Chee,r s ). On this occasion I will ask you to give it with th ree times three, and one cheer more for the ladies who ex. pelled me. (Laughter and cheers). Baron ALFRED ROTERCHILD responded for the brides. maids in an amusing speech, and immediately afterwards the guests rose and retired into the ball-room. The bride appeared with her husband for a short period among the company, but presently retired, and at 10 o'clock the happy pair left Gunnerebury for the Willes den station of the London and North-Western Railway, where a special engine and carriage awaited to convey them to Cheddington, en route for Mentmore, the newly. erected mansion of Baron Meyer de Rothschild, uncli - sr the Chilterns, in the county of Bucks. The ball was kept up with unflaggii}g gaiety until after two o'clock, and even at that hour many lingered, un. willing to leave the fascinating scene. Amid the hospitalities of the day the host and hostess had not forgotten their humbler and poorer friends"who were generously feasted ; and the feeling of the neigh bourhood was shown in the numerous flags hung out at the houses along the road, and the festive appearance assumed by the whole vicinity. The superbtrousseau of the bride, admirable for its exquisite taste as well as its extensiveness, bad engaged. the entire skill, and almost exnausted the elegant lancu , of Madame Roger, of Paris, dressmaker to the Emprrm s . The recherche costumes of the bridesmaids, appropriately adapted as to enhance each character of beauty in the fair wearers, were designed and made by Mrs. James, of Somerset•street, Portman-square. THE DEFEAT OF MINISTERS. LIVERPOOL, WEDNZSDAY. The defeat of Lord Palmerston has created gen era l regret here, even among the non-mercantile class. MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY. The intelligence that Ministers had suffered a defeat on the China question, though not unexpected, has caused a great sensation here, because it is generally expected that it must lead to a dissolution of Parliament and an appeal to the country. The Conservatives, the Free traders, and the Ministeriali4s have all large parties in a community like this, and the event of last night has ne cessarily led to much _discussion in all circles, but the ocly movement that has yet been made, so far as we learn, has been by the Commercial Association. At a meeting of the Council of that body, held this morning, it was determined to convene a special general meeting of the Association for Friday, " to consider how far the interests of comme•ve with China and elsewhere are compromised under the existing state of affairs in that country."
