THE O'CONNELL STATUE MOVEMENT.—TIIO Free-
etan's Journal of yesterday in referenee to this movement
pays:—" The spirit of the country is daily m►nifsting
itself more and more earnestly in its efforts to do honour
to the memory of the greet man. The first men in the
Lind ere already amongst the subscribers. The head of the
Irish bar, the Lord Chancellor—the heed of the catholic
church, the apostolic delegate, the venerable Archbishop
of Dublin—the beads of the mercantile public, men of
all shades and classes are to be found on the list, and before

parish, and every town, and every •dlage will have its
organisation. Thereby, been ►lready banked MI. 14s. 6d.,
aid we base the most perfect confidence that before the
day we weed t►e two thousand pounds will be banked."

THE BANK PAPER ROBBERY.

Two men, who gave their names u George
Rancher Sod Robert Cummisp, the former describing him-
self as a butcher, residing at No. 28, Strutton-ground, West-
minster, and the latter calling himself an electropbster,
having no home, were placed at the bar of the Mansion-
house yesterday, in the custody of detective *Marrs Spited
and Mess, before the Lord Mayor, charged with being con-
cerned with others in stealing, in August last, from the
mills of Messrs. Portal and Co., of Laverstock, Hampshire,
• unautity of Bank note paper ; and they were also charga
with being cooommed with others in forging and uttenng
Bank of England notes, with intent to defraud the Gover-
nors and Company of the Bank of England.

Mr. Freahlteild.the solicitor to the Bank of England,
attended to oonduct the prosecution. Neither of the pri-
soners had a solicitor.

Mr. Freshfield said that his lordship was aware that for
the lut few months a system of forging Bank notes on the
Baulk of England bad been carried on to some extent, the
circumstances respecting which had of late been much
before the public. The notes were printed on paper
which had been stolen from the manulsotoe7 of the coo-
tractors, who manufactured the paper for the Bank
of England on which the Bank notes are printed.
The appearance of forged Batik of England notes on genuine
Bank paper gave a very serious aspect to the matter, and
the Bank authorities felt it their duty to make every in-
quiry and have the matter thoroughly investigated. Thews
inquiries bad Imes made under the direction of Captain
Hodpoo, of the City Polioe, and were of the most effective
character. He would not go into the details of those in-
quiries ; bet the nwalt was the apprehension of • Ina at
Birmingham on the previous day, who was caught in the act
of printing Bank of England note, from krged-plates, which
were found in his possesaion. Thus the principal in this
great affair had been apprehended, and on the previous
night the two prisoners before his lordship were appre-
hended. Sinoethecourt had beensittiog Imbed received a tele-
gram from Birmingham informing him that there was another
man apprehended upon the same charge. There were other
individuals who were likewise implicated io the matter.
He had had no time to get the case against the prisoners
completed, and as the case was one of many parts it was
neceseary that it should be centralised, and 6 proposed to
call a witness from the Bank to prove that there had been
an utterance of forged notes, and the officer Mom, who
assisted in apprehending the prisoners, when he should ask
for a remand for a week, in order that the men in custody
in Birmingham might be brought to London, and so have
the case perfect. He bad no doubt, from information be
was already in poseession of, that he should be able to show
satisfactorily that the prisoners at the bet were implicated
to a crest extent in the manufacture of the forged notes.
He did not, however, think it would be judicious to bring
forward the evidence with which he was at present prepared,
as by doing so the ends of justice would in all probability
be frustrated if it were made public.
The following evidence was thew adduced :
Mr. Frederick Murfill, inspector of Bank of England
notes, Bank of England—lt is my duty to inspect cotes
supposed to be forged, which are brought to the Bank.
Within the last few months forged notes, principally
have been brought to the Bank. The note produced,
No. 9,786, is a forged Bank note, and was brought in in the
month of July last in the present year. Some of the notes
which have recently been brought into the Bank appear to
have been impressed upon the paper manufactured by
Messrs. Portal and Co., of Laversteck, the paper manufac-
turers for the Bank of England.

When asked if they wished to put any questions, Rancher
said he could not, as he knew nothing about it, and Cum-
mings said, "Not then, but at a future time he might
perhaps."
John Moss, detective officer, City of London police—l
am aware that inquiries have been made for some little time
past under Captain Hodgson respecting some forged notes
on the Bank of England. I am one of the officers
engaged. I am aware that some of the City officers have
gone to Birmingham. I have received information
that certain persons are now in custody in Birmingham for
printing notes from forged plates. In consequence of infor-
mation which I had received I apprehended the two
prisoners last night. I apprehended Buncher at hie
residence, at 2S, Strutton-ground, Westminster. The pri-
soner Cummings I apprehended at the corner of Essex-
street, in the Strand. I believe be has no fixed residence,
but has been lodging in a common lodging house in a
bye street in Westminster. I believe, from information
which I have received, that the prisoners have been impli-
cated in the manufacture of those notes, and I am of
opinion that if the case is gone fully into to-day, and the
evidence of which I am in possession is given at present, the
ends of justice will be frustrated ; but if a remand be granted
there will be evidence to prove that the prisoners are
implicated in the matter.
Upon that evidence the prisoners were remanded for a
week.

Our Birmingham correspondent writes, that for
some months pest Inspector Hamilton and Mr. Webb, of
the London city detectives, hare bear engaged in eodeavour-
log to trace the perpetrators of the robbery at the Laverstock
Mills, and during the past few weeks their inquiries have
been confined to Birmingham, and owing to the ingenuity
and tact displayed, and the assistance of Mr. Manton, of the
Birmingham detectives, they succeeded in apprehending one
of the parties of the name of James Griffith', residing
at No. 2. Brown's-buildings, Winson-street, Audley-road,
near Birmingham. About half-past three on Monday after-
noon Messrs. Webb and Manton, accompanied by Tandy, of
the Birmingham detective force, forced au entrance into
the house of Griffith,, whom they discovered upstairs in the
front room in his shirtaleeves, at.work at a copper-plate
printing. preen. On a stone in the room was a 101. money
plate, and a 51. note plate was on the table of the press.
There were also two watermark plates on the press. There
were also twenty completed 101. notes on the press, and
the same number of notes of the same value were
found wrapped in oilskin on the bed. —Mr. Manton,
on searching the room, found several other number '
and name plates used in forging bank notes. The '
same active offioer accompanied the prisoner to a field
some distance from the house, and under a hedge a number
of plates used for tho same purpose were found, and at
another spot, about a mile further, an additional
number of plates were discovered. Among the paper was
found some of the rupee paper which had been Bolen from
Laverstoek Mills some months ago. The printing preen and
materials were taken possession of by Mr. Tandy, sod the
prisoner was taken to the Birmingham lock-up.

Yesterday (Tuesday) morning the prisoner, James Grif-
fiths, who is about 40 years of sags, was brought before Mr.
Kynnersley, the otipeudiary, magistrate at Birmingham,
charged with forgery, and on the application of Mr. Webb
was remanded till next Tuesday.
On the same day Inspector Hamilton succeeded in cap-
turing the principal concerned in the late robbery of Bank
of England note paper from Laverstock Mills. The ppri•
Goner, who was apprehended in the neighbourhood of Bir-
mingham, was taken to London for examination.

ADDRESS TROY THE LONDON TILADIS TO GABS-
BALDI.—The following &Myer has beet gent to General
Garibaldi, from the Trades Garibaldian Demonstration
Committee :—" Dear and honoured General,—The com-
mittee of the Trades Garibaldian Demonstration, a body of
working men, being officers and members of London trades
societies, numbering about 100,000 skilled artisans, desire
to ooevey to you the expression of their deep sympathy
with your present bodily and mental suffering. a sulfating
that must be rendered more acute by the knowledge that
the bullet which has laid you wounded on a bed of pain and
sickness was a fratricidal one, directed against you by the
orders of a so-called Italian ministry, but who in reality
were the instruments of a foreign ruler, to remove whose
Unrighteous grasp from that fair city which Might to be,
and ultimately will be, the capital of a free Italy, you
were devoting your energies and risking your valua►ble life,
that you might add another jewel to the crown of that king
to whom you have already presented two kingdoms, won by
yourself and your brave comrades, from &corrupt and odious
government, whose existence was a blot upon civilliatioe.
The working men of Loodoo know you to be the
friend of, and beloved by, their Italian bretaren—
the producers of their country's wealth—and they
long for the time when, Providence permitting, yon will be
able to come amongst them, th►t they may prove to you
personally bow ninth they admire your nobleness of cha-
racter, your social virtues, and your pure and disinterested
patriotism. When that day shall arrive you will receive
the unbougbt homage of hundreds of thousands of Eng-
land's workmen, who, in common with all cleared of their
fellow•oouotrymen, will deem that moment to' be a proud
one in their lives when they will thus be enabled publicly
and before the world to express their admiration of Italy ■
aoblest son, hero, and patriot. That this hour may
speedily arrive, and that your valuable life may vet be
spared to see your fondest hopes realised—Venice liberated
from Austrian rule, and Rome, freed from French bayonets,
become the capital of a free, united, and constitutional
Italy—is the sincere and earnest prayer of the working men
of Loudon." The address is signed by the Secretary on
beh►lf of the committee.'
