TrIE FORGERY ON grit'a HEYWOOD AND Co.'s
Bang.—M'Cormick, the young man who presented the
forged cheque for .5311. on the bank of Sir Benjamin Hey-
wood and Co., Manchester, has been discharged from cus-
tody, in consequence of the strong probability that he was
innocent of the knowledge that it was forged, and was a tool
in the hands of Lee, his employer. Lee, there is reason to
believe, has been living at Bowdon, Cheshire, near the seat
of the Earl of Stamford, under the name of Beddome, and
has, it is said, been successful in raising money on a number
of forged documents at Liverpool. The police got wind of
his whereabouts a few days ago, and were hot in pursuit,
but he stud. d their vigilance.
LIVERPOOL DOCKS.—A map, showing the entire
range of the docks, existing and intended, has just
been published, and affords a magnificent idea of the
extent of the commerce of the port. The extreme
length of the river wall, which fronts the line of the
docks, is within a few yards of four miles. The total
water area now available amount. to upwards of 195
acres, end the total quay space to more than fourteen
miles. There are in all twenty-one docks in operation,
I :elusive of graving docks, half-tide docks, and basins.
Of these, Hee' comprising about thirty-three acres of
water area, and nearly two miles of quay srace, have been
opened within the last few weeks. Two others and a half-
t le dock, which will yield together twenty-one acres of
water area and one mile of quay space, are in a state of great
forwardness, and when all are brought into play, together
with the contemplated increase in the neighbourhood of
Wapping, the data of which we have not at present before
us, Liverpool will be possessed of a vast and unrivalled ex-
tent of dock accommodation, which. nevertheless, gigantic
se it may appear, will, we trust, be found at no distant date
no,. more than commensurate with the augmented acquire-
ments of her trace.—Liverpool Courier, Nov, 22.
LANCASTER has been reduced, by order of the
Board of Customs, to a fifth-class port, by which reduction a
saying in salaries of the officers to the amount of 2501. a year
will be effected.

MANCHESTER.- PURSUIT OF A FORCER.-ESCAPE
OF THIS DELINCILTENF.-011 Thursaay evening last, an officer
of the Liverpool police, named Lloyd, applied at the Man-
chester police office, for the asaistsece of one of the Manches-
ter officers in a search be was making for an individual
charged with having committed various forgeries in Liver-
pool. Lloyd had with him a person who, it was expected,
would be able to identify the man, and Inspector M'Mallea
was directed to accompany them. It was discovered that a
letter had been left at the Spread Eagle Inn,
Hanging Ditch, addressed to the individual " wanted,"
as " Mr. John 8. Bell, Spread Eagle, Manchester,"
and thither the party proceeded on Friday forenoon,
to await his calling for the letter. The person who
was to have identified the suspected individual saw
him, and said he was not the man who committed the
forgery ; and as Lloyd had received explicit instructions on
no account to apprehend the suspected person unless he were
identified, the officers did not lay hands upon him, but don-
tented themselves with following and watching him. He
first went to a warehouse in Cannon-street, where he re-
mak ed some time, and they next dogged him into Deans-
gate ; but in going through an entry the man disappeared
In an instant, and the officers were unable, Lough they con-
tinued their search, to recover traces of the man. The offi-
cers at length returned to the police-office, and reported to
Mr. Beswick, chief superintendent of police, who gave them
some instructions as to their next course. In following
these, they discovered that the name of the man who had
ree, iced the letter was Beddome, and that he was residing
in Sandy-lane, Bowdon, under en assumed name, we be-
lieve " Dewhurst," the maiden name of his wife. Lloyd
then returned to Liverpool for fresh instructions, and he
returned on Saturday with a youth, the son of a person in
Liverpool, who had paid some money orders to the forger,
and who could identify him. Accordingly, Lloyd and
M'Mullen, on Saturday afternoon, went over to Bowdon,
arcompenied by the youth, end, on reaching that place, put
themselves in communication with Mr. Bradford, constable,
of that place, who resides nearly opposite to the house occu-
pied by Beddome, and who knew him very well by sight.
Mr. Bradford assured the officers that Beddome was then in
the house, and, relying on this information, they entered and
searched the house ; but Mr. Beddome was not there. On
inquiry, they learned that he had gone to K nutsford, and they
accordingly proceeded thither, andsought for him some time,
but without success. They then returned to Emden, and
thence to Altrincham, and, understanding that Mr. Beddome
called occasionally at the Stamford Arms lan, Altrincham,
they went to that house- but he was not there. A sort of cane
or stick whie. he usually carried was produced, and, on the
youth Keine it, he at once identified it as that carried by the
torg r. It is an elastic piece of whalebone, the head or
handle being a heavy ball of lead; ro that it would he a dan-
aerous weapon in the hands of a man intent on mischief. On
further inquiry, it was ascertained that Beddome formerly
wore me Übtaches, but had shav-d them off; and hence it
is supposed that the first person from Liverpool was
unable to identify him, as the forger wore moustaches,
and their removal greatly altered the appeersece of Mr.
Beddome. Here, for a time, all trace of him was
lost ; but on Monday afternoon, Mr. &wick succeeded
in obtaining the following information : On Sunday night,
a cab belonging to a man named Arnold, was engaged
by a person corresponding in description to Beddome,
to take him to Stockport. The diver noticed that the
wciothneeltrah7senaiftlf.inffite hadHewwttal
II
himal aspdp.mabredportmananximuto,
driven over to Stockport, and on reaching that place, he im-
mediately inquired for a conveyance to take him to Cheadle,
Chelford, Wilmslow, or any at :non on the Birmingham rail-
way. He did not want a gig, but a covered vehicle, and said
he did not care what be paid for it, so that he got it without
delay. A es:Actin= named Potts, who was present when he
made these inquiries, &nerved that when any one approached
or passed the spot where he stood, he shrunk back, conceal-
ing himself behind other persons, so as nut to be seen. In a

short time a chide., belonging to a man named Holme, of
Stockport, was engaged and got ready, and in this Mr. Bed-
dome left Stcokpert, about ten minutes after tin o'clock on
Sunday night, and was driven to the Commie:lel Inn,
Wallow, where the London coaches fcrmerly stopped. He
had supper, and stayed there all night, ordering " boos." to
all him the following in-ruing at six o'clock. On Monday
morning, shortly after eight o'ciceir, he proceeded to the
Wilmslow railway station, and there paid hi. fare to Lan-
don, and proceeded by the morning train. The intonna-
time ea to Beddome's movements from Manchester to
Stockport, and thence to Wilmslow, did nut reach Mr. Ber-
wick till Monday afternoon, and he instantly derpatched
Inspector M`Mullen to the latter place. That officer, on in-
quiring at the Commercial Inn, was told that the string. is
demeanour and manner were so strange, that they suspected
all was not right. During supper he kept his kat on, and
during breakfast wore a travelling cap. At the railway
station, the guards and clerks were also struck by his a
pearance and manner, which excited their suspicion. He
wore a dark travelling cap, very much over his eyes, so as
dirwheirele the
übuandd:
which he enveloped the trunk beforementioned. k( r the

present further trace of the man is lost ; but 'here is no
doubt whatever that the fugitive is the Mr. BedeLme who
wee living at Bowdon under another tame. I- seems
that it is the practice of Irish emier et' to
America, when in the receipt of good wages, to runt sums
of money to their relatives in Ireland or Liverpool, and that
the mnt usual mode of doing so is to pay the MAIL to an
emigration agent in New Trek, who issues a sort of order
or draft on his correspondent in Liverpool, to ;ay the
amounts specified to the parties presenting there orders.
A number of these orders were seat over to Liverp !. about
two months ago, by the packet-ship Resents, in which Bed-
dome also returned to England; and it is supp-oed that
during the parasite he obtained access to a marl bag, in
which the letters containing ouch crders were y'.at.t d, and
having abstracted many such letters, he broke the seals
(in itself a felony of a serious character), and trek out thee
orders. He then forged the mays or the persons to whom
these orders we re made payable ins Liverpool, pretreated
them far payment at the paces indicted—one a bullion
office, and another au emigration office—and received the
amounts in cash. We have not been able to learn the extent
to which this robbery and forgery had bees carried ; but we
are inclined to think it is considerable. We understand that
on searching Beddome's house at B3wdon, metal of three
drafts or orders were found, leaving no doubt of his delin-
quency In this matter. There is still seethes. &twee im-
pending over this man. It will be recollected thot a young
man named John M'Cormack was brought up at the Borough
Court, on Wednesday last, charged with being concerned
in the forgery of a cheque for 5311. 13.. on the. back of Sir
Benjamin Heywood and Co., purporting to bo signed by
Messrs. Du Fay and Co. M'Cormack stated that be had
received the cheque from a Mr. Lee, at the Malec Hotel,
on whom he had waited in answer to an advertisem. in of his
for an assistant book-keeper; and this statement proving to be
correct, M'Cormack, who is stated to be a respectable man,
was discharged on Monday list. From the description given
of Beddome'e personal appearance, M'Conneck says he has
KO doubt that it is the idenecal " Mr. Lee," who gave him
the cheque to get cashed. We understand that Mrs. Bed-
dome has been residing in Sandy-lane, Bowdon, for about
two years, but that her husband has returned only recently,
and has stated that be hid lost a great deal of money by
farming in America. He appeared to have a large command
of ready case, and at a bazaar held recently at Altrincham,
in aid of the funds of the Sunday school connected with the
congregational church on the Downs, he made numereue
purchases, and appeared quite a zealous promoter of the
cause.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.--At Sunderland. on
Tuesday, a echo ncr, the Gironde, belonging to Bordeaux,
was brought alotgaide the It rilway-wharf, at the Low Quay.
Sev, rat vessels hod previously been moored by the wharf;
and the master of the French craft being very anxious to be
served first, the foreman of the wharf, Mr. Greenwood, said
he must wait for big tun'. This gave rise to an arary alter-
cation. The mate of the Gironde came on deck with •
gun, which the master seized, discharging the contents at
Greenwood, who wu wounded in the lace and head. The
captain and mato have been armed, and will be examined
before the magistrates.

persons. The Ipswich Express says: " Among the emigrants
who by this sad wreck have been deprived of all they possess,. el,
are several individuals of rank ; one of them was ass ofiicrr in
the Prussian service. A Lutheran mitister and a Roman
Catholic priest are also among the number. The entire

Orwell Company having offered to bring them free of charge.
From Ipswich they will proceed by train to London, the East-
, ern Union and Butem Counties companies having congested
to convey them gratuitously. When there, we believe it is in-
tended to purchase for each of them a small portable bed,
and to make other arrangements fur meeting their condition
and forwarding them on to their ultimate destinatine."—A
correspondent, writing from Colchester, says: ',An appeal
made by the Id yor of Harwich, on behalf of these unfor-
tunates, has bees resporded to by the inhabitants of that
town; collections have been made in the churches and
chapels, and up to Monday night aim had been raised for

EXETER-natl.—A series of concerts (fifteen in
number) hrs been commenced at Exeterhall, under the
titleof the "London Wednesday Concerts," at very low rates
of admission. The lint took place last evening. There was
a small but good instrumental orchestra, under th, direction
' of Mr. Willy; and the list of vocal performers included
the names of Mr. Sims Reaves Mr. T. Williams, Mr.
Leffler, tha Misses WilliamP, Mrs. Newton, Mies Poole, and
the Misses Van Millingen. The programme presentee: an
ample bill of fare' of a very mi•mllaneous description. First,
1 there was a selection from Welter's " Oberon," including
the overture and several of the principal airs and concerted
1 pieces. The chorus, " Light at fairy foot can fall," was sung
by the solo-aingen only, without any chorus. It had better
have been omitted. The grand scene, " °term, tl.ou mighty
monster," was exceedingly well sung by Miss A. Williams,
though it was rather too much for her physical strength. It
almost broke Mies Piston's voice during the run of the
opera when first produced, and hardly any shyer is able
to get through it without painful exertion. The beautiful
mermaid's song, "0 'tie ple.sent to fi nt," sung by Mrs. A.
Newton, was converted into a piece at dr..wling p almaely by
an egregious mistake in the time. Mr. Sims Retire; sang
" 0 'Us a glorious sight " as no other singer, since Walls=
has been able to sing it ; but it is nevertheless a vulgar, bois-
terous song, written by Weber, against his own better judg-
ment, to please Mr. Brabant, and never admitted into the opera
in Germany. The little air, " A lonely Arab maid," was
sung by Miss M. Williams with great delicacy and expos-
aeon ; and the quartet, Over the dark blue waters, re-
ceived justice from the Misses Wilton, Mr. T.Williann, and
Mr. Li leer. After the seleetion from " °berm " AI. Thallierg
played his fantasia on subjects from " Lucretia Borgia"
with his usual matchless power of tone and brilliancy of
finger. His performance was received with reiterated peals of
applause, and he repeated the concluding movement of the
piece. Lindpaintner's popular song, " The Standard
Bearer," was effectively sung by Mr. Leffler; and Mn.
Newton received great applause for her neat execution in
Bishop's, " Lo, here the gentle lark," a mere string of din.
aiona, roulades, and trills, as unmeaning as any solfeggio in
a b-ok of exercises. A " grand dramatic scene," called
" St. Agnes's Eve," was sung by Mr. Sims Reeves. The bill
stated teat this work had been composed by Alary, expressly
for Mr. Reeves, and could not be sung in public without has
permission. Apparently. he will have little trouble in de-
fending his exclusive privilege ; for it is not likely that any-
body will be tempted to infringe it. The remainder of the
concert consisted of another piam,forte fantasia by l nelterg,
and a number of ballads. There were, "0, Num', and
"The Bay of Biscay," by Reeve,Thelsdsof te; %dime "
by Leffler, and several other things of a similar eeeeription ;
all applauded to the echo, and most of them encored. The
hall was well filled, but by no means so crowded as we ex-
pected it would have been, considering the quality and the
terms of the entertainment.

HATMARKET.—Mr. Bourcicault's new c-anedietta,
" The Knight of Area," has met with complete success,
and not undeservedly, for although there is nothing alto-
gether original in the plot, its treatment is agreeable enough,
while the piece is capitally acted and very hands mely pat
on the stage. The hero is a soldier of fortune, who has rea-
lised more honour than profit in the eervice of Charles of
Burgundy, the profit, indeed, wholly resllving itself into
anything he may get by the honour of having been named
Knight of Area, This chevalier, alike sans pear et sans
repeat-he and sans 40141 et saws WWI, tolls in, at an it.n of
Catalonia, with the Princess Mariana, the just ace. ded sove-
reign of that duchy, who is making a royal progress, in com-
pany with her minister, Don I.neger-Valpone, and her dame
of honour, the Baroness Backranutern, who, between them,
have hitherto kept the youthful princess in very tight
leading strings. Toe IGught of Arvo being a hand-
some young fellow, and. consequently, attractiog the
eye of her highness, is, in the lint instance, orderao. out of
the country by the jealous minister, but almost in the same
breath entreated to remain on the most issour.,4le terms.
The exp:anation of this is, that the knight having just before
killed a c.,uple of brigands, who themselves had just before
killed • traveller, finds on -he body ot the latter a despatch
addressed to Don Diego Valrone, which turns out to be a
missive from the King 01 England, authenticating the bearer
os Ms confidential agent in the negotiation o' a marrisge
between the Prince of W.les and the Princess Mariana.
Don Diego, of course, take. the bearer to be a knight, anti
the kniglr,who is as mystified et rossib!e by the polite atten
tioua at the minister, is quite ready to adopt their practizal
results, the first of which is his 'eppoit,tntent as knieht-pro-
teator of the person to her royal highness, in which capacity
the minister requests him to urge his suit, se
with the utmxt sit/tam. The Knight of Arva,alltntel &Tot
perhaps, hove premised, is a gentleman from Ulster, Soda
this place at court particularly to his taste; and the Princess,
en her part, naturally enough pleased with his chivalrous
bearing,bis handsome person, and hie }Etonian fascia Aims,
is well content to hear his suit, which he, all unconscious of
a mistake, presses on his own account, and which the
lady is well content to receive on that footing. The envoys
of France and Austria, who are at the ducal court, for the
purpose of soliciting the Prinoess's hand for their re-
spective master's sous, are also so mystified, that
they respectively load the Knight of Arers,-.111r7.7,,,,.

It is difficult properly to reconcile the preambular
statement of the Portuguese financial agency, issued
this morning, with the first article of the decree
of the government which follows, in respect
of the settlement of the dividends in arrest
oe portions of the external debt of Portugal. The
agency, for its own part, gives notice that " the i
DIVIDENDS for the first half year of 1847 (only) =I
the external funded debt of Portugal will be PAID at
the office of the agency," on and after the 9th of
December, so far as the Annuities, and on and after
the 9th of February next for stocks and debentures.
The first article of the royal decree for regulating the
payment of these dividends at the rate of 75 per cent.
cash, and tne remaining 25 per cent. in certificates to
be afterwards capitalised in a now three per cent stock
scially created ad hoc, does not limit the bearing of
the operation to the dividends only which accrued in
the hist half year of 1847, as the agency does, but ex-
pressly includes the dividends for the whole year 1847,
and the first half year of 1848. Here is the article

referred to :
Art. 1. Of the amount of intere't charged oa the external
funded debt that became due in the year 1847, and first half
year of 1848, the Junta of Public Credit shall pay 75 per
cent. in cash, and 25 per cent. in certificates, to be .fterwards
capitalised in conformity with the 41st article of the afore-
said law.
It remains with the agency to explain the discre-
pancy here noted betwixt their own law and that of
the government.
Mr. M'Gregor, M.P., and lately of the Board of
Trade, took the chair to-day at an adjourned meeting
of the parties interested in the projected " British
Bank," held at the London Tavern. The business
was limited chiefly to the reading of a report of pro-
gress. from the committee appoin'ed on a former
occasion to superintend the preliminary proceedings.
The report was approved and confirmed, and it was
announced that in a short time a list of directors
calculated to inspire confidence in the undertaking I
would be made public.
The letter on Mexican dividends which follows may
be left to speak for itself at present.
MEXICAN DIVIDENDS.—Sir,—About a year since you I
obligingly put into your columns a letter from me regard-
ing the 116,0001. (circa) in the hands of a mercantile firm,
and then supposed to be towards the payment of Mexican
dividends. Another year now pasts, and two more divi-
dends are due, bat the bondholders have not yet had any
portion of these funds, and unless the chairman of " the com-
mittee for the bondholders" shall interfere for them and
protect their interests (for I consider that the committee
new improperly constituted, and that it no longer fairly ra-
pri scuts thou interests, which at first it might have i~i)
the futurity, termed the " Greek calends," it will be the
sad fate of the Mexican bondholders to attempt to foretell
the advent of, ere their dividends may be regularly divisible
amongst them. I perceive that more dollars era either now
arrived, or are on the way. I should wish to know, then-
fore, who are, in London, the agents of the Dosibibes ?
Have they any ? For, at a late meeting, it seemed bat
Mears. J. Schneider and Co. did not mlnowledge the(
selves to be such, and the Mexican minister long sisse as
gored me that they (3. S. and Co.) were no longer the meats
for his government, and he are intimated that after the pay-
ment of monies to the appointed persons in the Mexican peek,
his government was absolved from all future rink. The cue
would seem to be that Mean. J. Schneider and Co. have
1150001., or should have, to pair &dividend, but this amount
fells short of a whole dividend.. Yet Messrs. Lizardi, en the
23rd Nov., 1813, paid one third of a wrole dividend ; also one-
half of the October dividend on the 9th April, 1844 ; the re-
maining half, I can auppoae. just as the funds in hand
answered. Should no more funds be intrusted to Messrs.
Schneider and Co., ought not the Exchequer DUD, if bought (at
the time I did) at 30e.,31e. discount, and now to be readily sold
at 40s. premium, amply to make up the deficiency for a whole
dividend ? I unfortunately represent the cue of orphans,
who, in 21 years, have only received altogether 3911. 18s. 10.1.
instead of, at 1801. per annum, or 3,7801. (Ten of these
years elapsed without any payment occurring, for it was in
1827 that these bonds cost them 2,0074. 10s.) Whilst the
subjects of other states, with claims on Mexico, have been
paid from the intervention of their governments, the Eng-
lish creditors alone have been left without that asaistance,
and which, mere than others, they had the first right to re-
ceive, for their's were long antecedent debts. In these
precarious times it surely behoves the bondholders to see
that no more money shall be placed out of their own control.

Shares obtained leas attention than might have
been expected from the firm appearance of, and the
active dealings in, Consols. The market was damped
in some degree by the published reports of the Mid-

deemed so satisfactory as should have been desired.
Prices generally were, however, on the whole but
