THE POROERIZEI UPON THE IMPERIAL BANC

OF RUSSIA.

71ILS DAY.)

It was elated in the report of the proceedings at
the Mandon-homm, yesterday, that two men bad been ap.
pretended at Birmingham on suspicion of being concerned
in the extensive conspiracy to defraud the Imperial Bank
of Russia ; and it appears from what has since been die.
covered by Brett and Scott, the two detective oftioers em
ployed in the cam, that the ramileations of the plot ars
of the most extraordinary and widely.epread character.
The names of the two prisoners taken into custody at Mr.
mingham are Abraham Rosenberg and Kauffman Weber.
Upon their being apprehended, forged one rouble sale.
were found in their possession, and this will be the probe
charge that will be at present made against them. At the
house of Weber, who ostensibly carried on the budges' of a
tailor at Birmingham, there was found a genuine =a ramble
note which had been out and marked ins peculiar imanmswoall
from the inquiries made by the detectives, they direoverwitid
this identical not* had been taken to Mr. Corder, an ma
graver at Birmingham, by one of the prisoners, who wished
to have • plate engraved from it. Mr. Corder kept the note
for • short time, but he very prudently refused to do whey
wag required of him, but before he handed the note to then
party who brought it to him he took the pre.
canton to mark it in the way described, so
that be was enabled at once to identify it. It
would seam that the parties engaged in this nefsdogs
ethane endeavoured to obtain at Birmingham hew'
plates for engraving oar, five, ten, twenty-five, end
fifty-rouble notes, but from what bee already trampled*:
would seem that they only succeeded in obleinies pass
of a plate for engraving one rouble miss. red Ihs
officers brought sway with them three lithographic Wags
two engraved platen, upon one of which there was the " I pro.
miss to gay " portion of • Russian bank note, and •
variety of other articles calculated to forward the intended
fraud. When the prisoners were taken before Mr.
Kynneralcy, the stipendiary magistrate at Birmingham.
• Winter, who attended on their behalf, made I
ebennese endeavour to have the cam disposed of within
that jerieliction, but upon Brett producing • telegram ha
led inadved from London, and rating the facta within he
knowledge connected with this extraordinary affair, the
inaglehate at own came to the conclusion that the proper
comae to be teams wee to send the prisoners to London, and
they were accerdingly blought up by Brett on Monday
evening, and safely lodged la Bow-lane station.
It is believed from what ben come to the knowledge
the police that Dearly, if not quite, twenty persons hate
been engird In endeavouring to carry oat the operatics,
sad that, if they bad been successful, one of the most iI
patio schemes of forgery and fraud that has ever been
brought before the public would have been consummated.
The prisoners were brought up formally this morning at
the Mansioahonse, and were remanded to • future day,
when they will be brought up with the other prisoners, and
it is expected that at the next examination tame most ex-
tracedimary disci cures will take plata.
