EXTENSIVE FOINERY AT MANCHESTER.

Itesterdav (Tuesday), at the Manchester Borough
Court, Mr. llemeza, a partner in the firm of J. and W.
llemeza, paper manufacturers, Castle Mills, Tamworth,
and carryin4 on business also at a warehouse, 37, Long
Millmite, Manchester, was charged with uttering four
forged bills of exchange, of various amounts, to Mr. Smith,
parer manufacturer, of Watford, in Hertfordshire.
M. Hepburn, of London, solicitor, appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Horner, solicitor, watched the case for
the prisoner.
Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, stated that he had had various
dealings with the firm of which the prisoner was a member,
sud had received from him several bills of exchange in the
course of the present year. The prisoner paid to
him the four following bills, all drawn by the
firm of J. and W. Demeza and Co. ; one purporting
to be accepted by Thos. Sowood, Blue-boar-court, Man-
chester, for 391. Ls. I Id. ; one for 871. 178.11 d., purporting
to be accepted by Messrs. Oco. Irving and Co., raper
dealers, Manchester; another fur 179/. lbs. lid., purporting
to be accepted by Mary Neild and Son, paper dealers ; and
the fourth for 1331. 10s. 10d., purporting to be accepted by
Chadwick and Taylor, cotton-waste dealers, Back Turner-
street, Manchester. On Monday afternoon, Smith, one
of the bills paid him by the prisoner having been returned
to him, the acceptors saying they knew nothing about it,
came to Manchester, and saw the prisoner. He presented
to him a list of the bills he had received from the prisoner,
and asked him whether any of them were fictitious. After
some hesitation, the prisoner marked twp bills in the list, and
said all of the remainder were fictitious bills; ameng these
were the four bills now produced in court. The parties by
whom these bills purported to be represented are persons in
the Demczas' employment, and it was proved that the ac-
ceptances in eaeh case were forgeries. The prisoner was
apprehended by Mr. Superintendent Sawley yesterday
(Tuesday) morning. Mr. Smith was with the officer at the
time, and the prisoner said, "Oh do, Mr. Smith, forgive me
this time, and it will be made all right."
Mr. Maude, the magistrate, asked what was the amount
of the account, and
Mr. Smith replied that the whole sum for which he had
received bills was 2,3901., but a portion of this bad been
settled for.

Mr. Hepburn said tbcre were some more bills, drawn on
parties at Liverpool.
The prisoner was committed for trial at the assizes.
Mr. Horner, on behalf of the prisoner, applied to have
him admitted to bail, but the magistrates, after some consi-
deration, said that the forgery was to so serious an extent,
that the court could not take bail, especially u the assizes
were so near at hand.

TIIE FATAL SEWER ACCIDENT IN HOLYWELL.
STREET.—Last evening Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the
Cheshire Cheese, Milford-lane, on Will am Phillips, en ex-
cavator, aged 36. Mr. Cooper, engineer to the Com-
missioners of Sewers, Mr. Phillips, surveyor to the contrac-
tors, and several workmen, deposed that a range of sewers
was being formed along Drury-lane, Wycn-street, and
Holywell-street. After having sunk the shaft 13 ft. from the
level the men commenced tunnelling, and proceeded with
the tunnelling a few feet near the house of Isle. Stepp,
carpenter, when a cellar wall along which they were work-
ing fell in, burying the deceased beneath the superincum-
bent rubbish, from which his fellow-workmen nearly
rescued him, when another vats of earth fell upon and
buried him. Two hours elapsed before he was extricated,
when Mr. Richards, surgeon, Newcastle-street, who was in
attendance, pronounced life extinct from suffocation. De-
ceased's companions narrowly escaped the same fate. The
only ground of complaint was that the wall of the cellar its
Hollywell-street had not been examined before the tun-
nelling was commenced. But beyond that all parties were
free from blame. Verdict, " Accidental Death,- accom-
panied with a caution to the superintendents of the works
to be more careful in future when the men were engaged in
such hazardous employment.
SWEDISR MlNlNG.—Although in general we ad-
vocate that British capital should be employed in our home
mines, yet, as our primary object is the prosecution of
mining in general, we never attempt to discourage it where
we see there is a likely investment for capital abroad.
Within the last few days a prospectus has been issued for-
the working of mines in the province of Dalarne, in Sweden.
In this district is situated the ancient mine of Fabian,
which, according to records and tradition, has been worked
long before the Christian era, and at one time was the
richest copper mine in Europe; it has also an
historical recollection, as being the place where Gustavus
Vasa, the liberator of Sweden, worked. A company has
been formed, under the title of the Dalarne Silver-Lead
Mining and Smelting Company, to develope the lodes
already opened in the southern part of this province, which
is so famous for its mineral capabilities. Without regards
ing the prospectus of the company, a knowledge of the
country and of the inhabitants enables us to say that if pro-
perly, economically, and efficiently worked, this property
bears with it every prestige of success. We are enabled
to state this from the information of parties who, know-
ing nothing of the present company, are acquainted with
the scene of operations. Labour can be obtained there
at the rate of eightpence per diem, and this it
must be remembered is not unskilled, but Dalecarlians
who arc a'.l, to a certain degree, miners. Provisions are
cheap, there is abundance of wood and water-power, the
Government of Sweden is constitutional, the rights of foreig-
ners are as much respected there as those of Swedes—in
(act, more encouragement is given to them—the present
enlightened monarch, Oscar, with a wish to benefit the
country, having given every facility for strangers to settle
there. The produce of the mines hitherto can be seen by
referring to the official records at Stockholm. While so
many speculations are afloat, this, which has all the aspect
of legitimacy, deserves the consideration of the British
public."—listing Journal.
