FOR the greatest ameliorations of civilized life, we are indebted to the modern division of attention and Abour in the various pursuits of society, and in none have its benefits been so manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of this great truth, Messrs GOSS and Co., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, have for twenty-five years confined their attention to the successful treatment of a few prevalent complaints—viz., the general and local debilities of both the sexes, whether arising from the solitary indulgence which a too highly inflamed imagination brings like a destroying end over the constitution, the mind, and the affections of youth ; or from a long residence in hot climates, excessive drinking, or any other baneful indulgence; an4l from their daily experience they can with confidence offer a restoration of the debilitated to vigorous health, Married females of a pure and effectionate disposition, whose " fondest hope" has been pain fully deferred, may learn with consolation that perseverance in a proper remedial course, will renovate general health, and re move hidden impediments to maternal happiness. An insidious disorder, however inveterate, as also Gonnor rlicea, Gleet, and Stricture, may be removed without material restraint in diet or exercise. SCIENCE. " Vincet veritas et prevalebit." FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA TIC GOUT, TIC DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now for the first time introduced to the notice of the public; al though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on the public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it. Feeling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be nefits it will ebnfer on mankind, he conscientiously believes that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow-creatures, and of duty towards himself. He, therefore, no longer hesitates to adopt this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally known, that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him self of a very obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty years' standing, and although on that occasion he had been confined to his bed-room for two months, be was enabled to walk two miles within six hours after the application. Since that period thousands, from the noble to the peasant, have been cured by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the proprie tor's instructions have been attened to. Its extraordinary efficacy has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen of distinguished eminence, who declare it to be the greatest ' discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it possesses over every other remedy consists in its being an in noxious vegetable compound. in the perfect security with which it may be used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and timid patient, and in the certainty of its being a sound, safe, and radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all their terrible and aE,renizing forms.

CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW TALE, THE POACHER, Will commence on SUNDAY next, the 13th of December, to be continued Weekly in _2_ THE FIRST OF THE PRESENT MAYORALTY DINNERS. On Tuesday the Lord Mayor gave his first dinner at the Mansion-house to his brethren of the Court of Aldermen, upon the occasion of the swearing in of Sir James Duke as Alderman of the ward of Farringdon Without. The entertainment presented turtle in great abundance, sod was considered by the first-rate judges present as a highly favourable omen of Corporation ex pectations. They declared that it reminded them of the days long gone by. The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the 'health of the Queen, gave a very animated account of his visit to the Palace upon the late interesting event, where he was received in the must hospitable manner, and was amongst the first who partook of the royal cauile, with which he was most bountifully supplied.—(A laugh and cheers.) He was convinced that his brother Aldermen would be gratified at hearing that he bad been received so kindly, and he proposed, with the most fervent wish for the continuance of her happiness, the " Health of her Most Gracious Majesty."--(The most rapturous cheering followed the toast. His LORDSHIP next proposed " The health of the man the Queen loves best." The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert was drank with loud acclama tions, as was that of the Princess Royal. The usual toasts and complimentary speeches fol lowed, and a most convivial evening was spent, a good deal of execution having been done with the decanter by half-past ten o'clock, when the company separated. The LORD MAYOR, in the course of the evening, stated that he should have felt peculiar gratification in lighting up the Mansion House in honour of the birth of the Princess Royal, and he should still entertain the hope of illuminating the building if he thought the act would meet the Wishei of bib fellow-Citizens. Some persons, he was told, considered that an illumination would be inconvenient to the humble classes of society, but he was of opinion that those who could not afford their tallow candles might with equal loyalty express their feelings over their pot of porter. The valuable plate of the Mayoralty was exhibited in the Venetian parlour, and the whole business of the entertainment was pronounced first-rate by the guests. The allusion to the birth of the Princess was fre quently a source of merriment in the course of the evening, and it was mentioned by some of the Aldermen to be particularly adapted to the present Mayoralty, before the conclusion of which it was hinted as very pro bable that a similar token of conjugal bliss might be presented to the Chief Magistrate himself.

ANALYSIS of the communications made by the Solicitors of the several parishes undermentioned, to the Court on the 4th December, 1840 :-•-• ST. MARTIN'S-IN -THE FIELDS. Mr. Le Breton, Solicitor to the Parish, stated that he appeared on behalf of the Churchwardens who were rated for the parish church. That he begged respectfully to in form the Court, that the Churchwardens do not intend to pay this Sewers-rate, as their desire is that the question should be tried by some snperier Court. That they will re sist any levy as they may be advised by Cou nse l. Th at they consider the Church is not liable, and that the parties rated are not liable; and that they hope that one cuse may be allowed to decide the question; Mr. Le Breton also appeared for St. Michael's Church, Burleigh-strcet, and Spring Garden Chapel, on similar grounds. - • --- ST. CLEMENT DANES. Mr. John Collier, the Vestry Clerk and Solicitor, ap. peered for the Churchwardens, who were rated for the parish church, and stated that he had two applications to mako ; fitst, That he might be allowed to copy the cases and opinions under which he understood the Commissioners were acting, and that he would advise parish officers to submit to them if fairly stated and conclusive ; and, secondly, That four, five, or six months might be given to enable him to consider the matter, say lst of May, to give time to the parish authorities to consult together. He denied the liability of this property to be rated, and stated that his point also was, that the Churchwardens were not liable. He also hoped that one case might be allowed to settle the whole matter. ST. GEORGE * AND ST. 011.69, BLOOMSBURY. Mr. Butt, Solicitor, of the united parish, and separate parishes, appeared and stated that he attended for all the property in the parishes, now for the first time rated, namely, St. George's Church, St. Giles' Church, the Vestry, Trinity Church, Little Queen-street, the Work house in Broad•strcct, the Watch-house in Smart's-build. ings, the National Schools, and Shenton's Charity Schools; that in each of these eight cases, upon a levy being made, an action will ( under advice of Counsel) be brought. That they do not mean to pay the rate on any one of them vo luntarily. ST. ANNE. Mr. John Wm. Allen, Vestry Clerk and Solicitor, ap peared for the Churciwardens who were rated for the parish church : he stated that they had not yet made up their minds, and requested a copy of the case and opinion under which the Court was acting.

Mr. Truwhitt, Vestry Cletk and Solicitor, appeared on behalf of the Churchwardens, who were rated for the pa rish church, and stated that he should follow the steps pro posed to be taken by St. Clement's parish. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, DEC. 9. THE QUEEN V. THE PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS. This was an issue to try the validity of an election for Vestrymen and auditors.of the Parish of St. Pancras, which took place on the 6th May 1839. The case having been stated by Sir Frederick P o ll oc k, t h e Attor at the suggestion of the C our t agree d to ney General which the case was terminated with an arrangement by out going into evidence. KING V. CHAPMAN. Mr. THEIIGER stated the case. It was an action brought by the plaintiff Thomas King, a seaman, to re cover compensation for the injury he had sustained by being flogged by order of the defendant, who was Cap tain of the ship Mermaid. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff had been guilty of riotous and mutinous con duct, and had refused to obey his orders, and that the punishment was only moderate and reasonable. John James—l was boatswain of the Mermaid on its voyage from London to Bombay. We left London on the Bth August, 1.839. A person named Lowndcs, a seaman, was ill on the first September, and for some of fence the Captain, Mr. Chapman, put him in irons in the poop. King, the plaintiff, who was a seaman, went down to supper at, five o'clock, and shortly afterwards the chief officer came and told sae to turn the hands up. I went to the quarter-deck and saw the Captain there with a pistol in his hand. He was in a passion, and desired me to get the seizings. I sent my mate for them, and King was brought down from the poop and was ordered to strip by the Captain. His shirt was taken off, and he was seized up to the grating in the main rigging. The Cap tained desired me to prepare for punishment, and I said 1 had no cats. The Captain sent the chief officer to his cabin for cats. They were made of nine pieces of white lines fastened to a stick. He then desired me to proceed. The man had never been flogged before. He got two dozen lashes. They were severe, and the man seemed to suffer very much. I never knew King guilty of any neglect of duty. He had been on a voyage to India with me before. We arrived at Bom bay on the 27th February, and reached Landon in August. That was the only punishment that took place on the voyage. I was on board a man-of-war. The usual custom on board the navy, on board East Indiamen, and in the merchant service, is to have a sort of trial before the man is punished. I h ave flogged black men before, but never a white man. Lowndes was put in irons for a striking a boy. The captain threatened to put me before the mast for lend ing the sail-maker, my mess-mate, a suit of blue clothes. When the sail-maker returned from on shore I charged him with abusing my clothes ; he gave me a saucy answer and I struck him. Frederick Hewett—l was a seaman on board the M erma id. I cannot tell how many able seamen there were. They were nearly all " idlers."—(A laugh.) When we were at supper, on the night of the Ist Sep tember, we were ordered on deck. The Captain said if any of us advanced further aft than the main-mast he would shoot us. He had then a pistol in each hand. I saw King on the poop ladder, and the carpenter was r i g ging the gratings. Th e C apta i n as k e d if any body hed any thing to say, meaning complaints. I said, We are only 260 miles from the Cape, why not try him by the laws of his country." The Captain said he would use bis own discreti o n in that, and said this is under martial law, hats off (I had my cap on), and drew a sword, and presented it over my head, sayin g . if I did n ot take off my hat he w ou ld sp li t me down. I was not afraid of him though.—(Great laughter.) I saw King get his two dozen. The Captain told him to go for ward, and King said he did not think it was customary to flog on board a merchantman, The Captain said if he did not go forward he would give him three dozen u ore. I never saw King neglect his duty. The depositions of Adams the carpenter (since dead) were put in and read. They were corroborative of the other witnesses. The Captain said King was flogged for interfering in Lowndes' case, with which he had nothing to do. Sir P. Pou.ocx addressed the Jury for the defen dant, and quoted the opinion of Lord Tenterden, that " at . Common Law the Master had authority over all the mariners on board the ship—that it was the duty of the mariners to obey all his lawful commands—that in caso of disobedience or disorder he might correct them in a reasonable manner, his authority being analo gous to that of a father over his children, or a master over his apprentice. Such was necessary for the safety of the ship and of the persons on board—that it behoved the master to be very careful in the exercise of that authority, so as not to make it a pretext for cruelty and oppression." George Bain—Was chief mate of the Mermaid in 1839. I remember Lowndes being put in irons. King brought him a pot of tea by my permissioe. He said to Lowndes that be should not remain in irons—that he would have him liberated. I advised King to go quietly from the poop. He went to the other side of the poop, began swearing, and said he would have Lowndes liberated. I again told him not to inter fere. King went towards Lowndes and I took hold of him. Captain Chapman came to my assis tance, and ordered me to take him down to the quarter deck. He was then seized up to the gratings and the hands turned up. King addressed them and said, " D o y ou cons id er your selves men to stand and see me flogged ?" Harper, one of the sea men, said to the Captain he might take the ship to Bombay himself, for he (Harper) would not do it. I thought the Captain was decidedly called upon to interfere. The irons on Lowndes were with shackles and a 'holt locked. I kept the key and he could not be releared without obtaining the key from me. The Captain bad a sword and pistols after King was taken into custody. I also armed myself with a sword and pistol. I don't know whether the surgeon was armed or not. King was attentive to his duty both before and after this circumstance. I had no complaints of him whatever. I thought the discipline of the ship was in danger from King's conduct. By the Jury—The general conduct of the crew up to that time was very good. Mr. Thesiger fiaving replied, Mr. Justice Cole ridge summed up to the jury, who returned (after two hours' deliberation) a verdict for the defendant. They at the same time gave it as their opinion that each party should pay his own costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 9. MORRISON AND CO. V. SMITH. This action was brought by the plaintiffs, merchants in London, against the captain and owner of the ship Hero, East Indianian, to recover the sum of 771.145. 10d. for the loss of tea to that amount of value consigned to them from Canton, on freight of the defendant's ship. It appeared that the Hero sailed from Llanelly, South Wales, with a cargo of coal, to Mocha, an Arabian port, upon the Red Sea. Having discharged his cargo, Captain Smith proceeded, with ballast of sand, to Bom bay, where he took in a cargo of cotton for Canton, where he received a cargo of tea for London, a part of which, consigned to the plaintiffs, was damaged by the vessel's shipping a quantity of water in a gale off the Cape of Good Hope. The case for the plaintiffs was supported by the testimong of several captains, engaged for many years in the tea trade, between Canton and London, that the injury done to the tea on board the Hero, was owing to the defendant's using sand for ballast on the return voyage, instead of taking in at Canton the China ballast, consisting of shingle, which those witnesses considered the fittest upon which to stow teas. For the defendant a number of witnesses deposed that the teas on board the Hero were carefully and well stowed, that the sand ballast was preferable to the shingle, and that the damage done to the tea was not owing to the ballast or the manner of stowing, but solely to the unavoidable effects of the gale. 'The whole question turned upon the comparative merits of the different kinds of ballast ; and after the case had occupied the whole day, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the full amount. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Thomas Pillgrem, a young man of respectable ap• pearance, was brought before Alderman Wilson in the custody of Daniel Forrester, charged with having com mitted forgeries for the purpose of defrauding the Bank of England. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank at England, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Matthew Dick, of No. 19, Catherine•street, Pimlico, stated that he was, on the 21st September, possessed of 100/. stock in the New Three-and•a-llalf per Cents. Annuities, standing in his name in the Bank hooks, and that he was on, and prior to the Gth of November, possessed of 19/. 13s. in the Consolidated Long Annuities, also standing in his name. That he never authorised the transfer of either stock from his name, and that the two documents, purporting to be powers of attorney, and signed " William Pillgrern," were not signed nor executed by him, and were forge ries. He was acquainted with the prisoner, aHd be lieved that the documents were signed and executed by that person. Witness had advanced money to the pri• soner, who was indebted to him in the sum of 30/., and who knew that he had the money in the Bank in his name, and acknowledged, on the 7th of December that he had forged the powers of attorney. Alderman WILSON—Is he a relative of yours 2—The witness replied in the negative. He was merely a friend, and witness was his guardian through his aunt. Mr. Fresh field said that the case was an extremely bad one, for the prisoner had sold out his own money, and also, by false powers of attorney, the money of his two brothers, who were in Newfoundland, and was in the act of doing mischief of the same kind when he was taken into custody. The broker who transferred the stock stated that the prisoner called upon him and re presented his name to be William Pillgrem, producing at the same time a letter purporting to be written by Matthew Dick; and addressed to the witness, who was acquainted with Mr. Dick, and wrote to him in reply that if he wanted money he must obtain it in the regu lar way, by selling out stock. The prisoner subse quently brought to witness a letter as if from Mr. Dick, stating that he would sell out, and witness, at the desire of the prisoner, obtained a power of attorney for the sale of 1001. in the New Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities, and handed it to the prisoner for exe cution by Mr. Dick. 'fire prisoner brought back the power as executed, and the stock was accordingly trans ferred, and the money was given to him. The prisoner again called upon witness and gave hint a verbal autho rity to sell Si. stock in the Long Annuities. The trans fer took place as before, and the power of attorney was executed, and the prisoner received the amount. After wards the prisoner called upon witness upon similar business, and was given into the custody of Daniel Forrester. Alderrean WIL!WN (to the witness)—Are you regu larly licensed by the Court of Aldermen to act as a broker? Witness—No. Alderman WiLsoN—'Why were you not': Witness I have lived with and done business many years for blotter and 1 did not think it necessary. I supposed that I was fully authorised. Alderman WILSON—The prisoner's name is Thomas Pillgrem. How did you know that he was William Pillgrem ? Witness—l satisfied myself that he was the person. Alderman WILSON—How did you satisfy yourself ? Witness—By the questions I asked him. Alderman WlLSON—That's all nonsense. How could you possibly satisfy yourself that he was the person by such means ? You see that you were quite mistaken. I think the Bank will have a good claim upon you. If you have acted without a license from the Court of Al ' dermen it is proof how necessary it is not to sanction any one in acting without such authority. You certainly have not used due diligence.—The witness said that business was done daily in the Bank in the manner in which he transacted it. It was impossible to avoid doing it in that way. ALDERMAN—Certainly there would be more se curity, both to the Bank and the public, by the em ployment of brokers licensed by the Court of Alder men. The Bank ought to make you responsible. Mr. W. Drinkwater, clerk in the New Three -and-a- Half per Cents. Annuities Office, stated that he was present when the prisoner demanded to act on the power of attorney, and witnessed the transfer. The last wit ness introduced the prisoner to him as William Pillgrem. Alderman WILSON—Have you no list by which you can know whether a person, who acts as a broker, hlsbn licensed by the Court of Ald ermen or not \\'itneeess replied that there was no list of the kind, and that the gentleman who acted as broker in the business just de scribed was every day in the Bank engaged in business as a broker. Mr. Alderman WasoN—He certa i nly i s not c.v ,th .o , tised. I am sure that the Bank would he 4enexited i.i the Court by taking care th at none do busi" eg 'a w ho arc not licensed. 1 am cony •e would do all ill t 3 / 4 16r Power t o ass i s t the Governors. t- t o f Aldermen We have offered a reward of 50/. to any one who shall give evidence proving that any individual acts as a broker without being licensed. The prisoner said he intended to make the money good in the course of the month. No. 15,057. N OTICE TO THE PUBLIC. REGISTRATION OF LETTERS. __ _ GENERAL POST OFFICE, DEC. 1840. On and after the 6th January next a system of Registration will be adopted, which will . 0e applicable to all descriptions of Letters without distinction, whether they contain coin or arti cles of value or not. The Fee for Registration will be One Shilling, which to gether with the Postage, must be paid in advance. Letters presepted for the purpose of Registration, hearing a sufficient number of Stamps, will be considered paid Letters, but the Registration Fee of One Shilling must always be paid in Money. In the case of Foreign, Colonial, or Ship Letters, it must be clearly understood, that Registration cannot extend beyond the Port of despatch in the United Kingdom, though parties, if they wish it, may register such letters as far as the Port of despatch. Letters, however, addressed to France, and Letters passing through France, are exceptions to this rule, the French Post- office undertaking to provide for their security till they shall has • been delivered, if addressed to France and so lone as they remain in the French Territory, if passing through France. On Letters of the former description, namely, Letters addressed to France, Double the French Rate to the Place of Destination must be paid in addition to the British Rate and the British Registration Fee ; on Letters passing through France, only the usual Rates will be taken, in addition to the British Registra tion Fee. As a general rule, no Letter can be received in order to be Registered, unless it shall be brought to the Post-office, half an-hoar before the closing of the Box for the particular Mail, by which it is to be despatched. It may, however, be neces sary to take longer time in some few cases where severe pres sure is apprehended. Small Sums can be remitted through the Post-office, by means of Money Orders, without risk, at the following rates of charge, viz. :—Three Pence for any Sum not exceeding Two Pounds, and Sixpence for any Sum above Two Pounds, and not exceeding Five Pounds. With the great convenience thus afforded for transmitting small Sums at so low a charge, and the power now given of registering Letters containing value-, it is hoped the Public will no longer forward Letters of value, except in one or other of these methods. If however persons are willing to incur such a risk, should the articles forwarded be Notes, or Cheques payable at, sight, they should be cut in halves, and the second halves should not be despatched until the receipt of the first has been acknowledged. The numbers, dates, and amounts, should also be carefully taken. By Command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary.

Mr. Freshfield said that the amount of mane; he• longing to his brothers which the prisoner had taken out of the Bank by means of forged documents was 8001. The prisoner was then committed for trial. Isaac Clift, alias Isaac Godfrey, alias Isaac God frey Clift, alias Godfrey COI, was [nought before Sir Peter Laurie to be again examined upon the charges of forgery and fraud brought against hint by several tradesmen. Mr. Hobler, jun., appeared for the prisoner. Sir PETER LAURIE—Is there any further charge against Clift ? Mr. Dinsdale, the saddler, of the Pavement in,Moor fields, who most spiritedly followed up the case, said that the prisoner and others of the gang had managed matters with too much ingenuity, as tar as evidence re garding Clift went, for prosecution at the Central Cri minal Court. Several tradesmen had called upon him (Mr. Dinsdale), to inform him that Chit bad had goods of them, but their charges did not amount to felonious taking. S r PETER LAURIE—That was what I apprehended. Has Mr. Cornish Broad been found :'—Sergeant Shae kell of the Metropolitan police stated that Cornish Broad had absconded on Wednesday morning ; that the house in which that person resided had been left open by him, and that the key had lecn found and handed to the owner, Witness knew Cornish Broad. Sir PETER LAURIE—I am sorry that he has got away, and hope that you will be able to apprehend him. I have received a great number of communications from respectable tradesmen relative to the gang of which Broad is the leader. Mr. Broad was, I find, deeply impli cated with the notorious Coster, who was committed from this room and convicted at the Old Bailey, and he has since the departure of that worthy been walking in his shoes. Clift, I uudt.rstand, is one of Broad's instruments. . Clift declared that he was not an instrument in the hands of Broad, whom indeed be scarcely knew at all, and it was by an unhappy accident their names got upon the same hill.—(A laugh.) Sir PETER. LAURIE- - There is - lio doubt whatever' of the connection. You are one of the subordinates of the gang. 1 am perfectly aware of the nature of your move ments. 1 har•e here the list of the Society for the Pro tection of Trade from Swindlers, and the nagie of Mr. Broad is very conspicuous ainangst the class of fraudu lent dealers. Mr. nobler, jun., said that Clift's name was not amongst them. Sir PETER LAURIE—There are such numbers of aliases amongst these fellows that tradesmen can scarcely know by whom they are plundered until brought fece to face with them. Mr. flobler, jun., stated that he was gi‘ en to under stmd that Clift was a patten-maker in Whiteeross street some years ago, and carried on business respect ably- there, until he was ruined by the pulling down of his house by the Corporation of London. Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, he has had his revenge upon the tradesmen of London. Pray, do you happen to know whether he was ever out of this country-1 mean anywhere in the neighbourhood of Sydney ? Chft— Never in my life I do assure you, Sir Peter. Sir P. LAURIE-I may be misinformed in that par ticular, but it is quite ridiculous to suppose that he could be in the habit of handling Mr. Cornish Broad's acceptances, v:ithout being one of that gentleman's party. They work on a scale which has as many ramifications as Coster's had, but their operations are not so exten sive. Coster had agents and partners in %Wain) , at Berlin and Venice, and appeared to be deeply con cerned in commercial transactions. Mr. Broad has his agents in small towns and villages at no great distance from the metropolis, and their references are so managed that an eager tradesman at once bites, and is inevitably caught. He parts with his goods in sucli a manner that the robbery comes under the legal denomination of debt, and he soon finds that the part lei referred to have played similar tricks upon others, with the aid of those they have recommended. 'lshe goods obtained are sent off by the London tradespeople to High Wycomb, or Hampstead, or Reigate, or wherever their now cus tomer resides, and immediately afterwards thy are con veyed to town, where they are converted into cash. I am sorry to say that in the list of houses where goods thus procured are received from the depositaries in the country, are several public-houses ; and I shall take particular care to oppose their applications for licenses on next licensing day. I have documents which show that some of the extensive brewers in the metropolis have been plundered through the instrumentality of these persons. There arc several bubble companies in the metropolis too, which are in a variety of ways concerned in plundering the public. Fellows, whose names are introduced in prospectuses as directors and managers, acquire in this credulous town a reputation from that manoeuvre, and to such an extent that tradesmen send them goods without further inquiry. Amongst the complaints made to me of thi s ki n d, i s one from a tradesmen in Sloane -street, who has been robbed of property to the amount of 751. by the fictitious manager of a Company. It is more particularly incum bent upon tradespeople to be on their guard more than ever, for the change of the law of arrest has given great facilities to the w hole class of swindlers. In this case the nature of the evidence is such that I shall be obliged to discharge the prisoner, but what has taken place hero has done great good. I have ascertained that the gang has been completely broken up, and I must s:sy that the tradesmen of London are greatly indebted to Dinsdale for his exertions. The Prisoner—l do solemnly declare that I shall do all I can to find out where Broad is, and you will find that I am not one of his gang. Mr. Dinsdalo said th a t B roa d was, he believed, over the water and would prob a bl y b e one day brought be fore Sir Peter Laurie, to whom the tradespeople of the metropolis were under,the greatest obligations for making such active exertions in exposing the villainy of this confederacy. Sir PETPR LAURIE then gave some private instruc tions to Sergeant Shackell and discharged Clift, who wa immediately whipped up on a writ by a Sheriff's Officer. THE BRITISH AND AUSTRALASIAN BANl.—_j a our report of Tuesday Mr. Beddome was represented to have said that there was not a single fact in the report which was not submitted to, and which did not re ceive the sanction of the gentlemen appointed to in vestigate. Mr. Beddome requests us to state that what he meant by what he asserted was misappre hended, and that it was that " there was not a fact stated in the report:which was not, as it arose in the investigation, presented to the attention of the Direc tors attending the Committee (meaning Mr. Boucher and Mr. Whitcomb), and that therefore they could not have been strangers to the allegations of the report. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, TUFISDA Y EVENING. There did not appear to be uny business on the Derby to-day at noon requiring particular notice. L - .)00 to 1 20 was accepted on Prince Caradoc, 400 to ti on the colt out of Rattle's dam, 40 to I was offered against Van Anaburgh and Rattle's dam, but not accepted. THE OAKS.-7 to 1, in tens, was offered on the field; and 12 to 1 against Lampoon. A strong desire was exhi. bitcd to lay against the latter. Tor. TURF.—SiXty.OIIO horses are already entered for , the Liverpool Trades' Cup, for the next July meeting. EXTRAORDINARY MATett AGAINST TIME.—An extraor. dinary match against time, made by sonic sporting men of London and Manehbster, came off on the lloodee, Chester, on Monday, before a large concourse of spectators. The terms were as follow;— Mr. Burke, of sporting notoriety, underto4 to rido two horses 19, 20, and 21 miles, and take the same number of leaps, within the hour. Fifty pounds aside depended on each separate event, making the total stakes 300/. Mr. Byrke commenced his task about halt past two o'clock, on a capital chcsnut mare, which did her part remarkably well, and finished it on a very fine pony, which had, however, a predisposition io " bolting," and consequently somewhat imp...led the execution of the task. Mr. Byrke fiuished his first 19 milts in about 56 minutes and 15 seconds ; the 20th mile was completed in 5S minutes and 30 seconds ; and there being only one minute and a half to accomplish the last mile, Mr. Byrko gave up that part of the match. He consequently wins the wager in the first two partions of the Watch (200/.), and loses the third (100/. ) STATE OF TRADE. l b l u / s a i / n i( e 7 s l s eS i t i c a l s ' ( b i e l e ia n E /* ) airnkrets Guardian,) the A large ( a i n 'r i o o m unt th o e f stlees l \p l e e c ci i i a t l e i r y ra in ne \ z! v t a n rn m s i s a u s i t ta t h e l i e l ' f t : I ndia, and in goods yesterday was not quite so buoyant ; but the feeling as on the preceding Tuesday, and the demand was [tilted scale, but without a generally on a moreli little flatness was, no doubt,ny change in prices.

The privatemore favourable accounts received f than for some London are d ec i dedly days past. Saturday last was considered to have passe over more quietly than any fourth of the month ever re collected at this season of tie year, and money was, consequently. abundant ; the bill-brokers being glad to lend money for short periods, on the Stock I•:xchangs4 at four per cent. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, DEC. 7.—The mar ket to-day ha s b een worse than that of the preceding Monday ; there have been fewer pieces sold, and, i, some cases, lower prices have been given. In the wool market there has been little doing ; but prices h a y, undergone no change.
