Sr. PANCILAS.—The Rev. Mr. Judkin, of the Somer's-town chapel,
has written to us to point out an inaccuracy in a paragraph which
appeared in our Friday's impression. Lie denies that there has been
any dispute" between him and his rector, the Rev. 91r. Dale.
"haying," he mys, "to meet the call of two full nervier.% in the
morning and afternoon, to which only I was appointed, I have re-
signed the office of Sunday evening lecturer and for the prevent the
incumbent, with whom the nomination rests, has consigned the duty
to the Rev. Mr. Beanies."

----------
Mr King attempted toscreen himself by attributing what had
been done to his assistant —Mr. Mohler submitted that the
came was a most flagrant one against the government agent,
who had solicited to be employed in the matter, and had
afterwards betrayed the captain, who having been absent
from England twenty years, was not aware of the state of the
law, and relied entirely upon the judgment of the agent.—
The Lord Mayor said that Mr. Hobler's view of the case was
perfectly correct. The Government agent was the offender,
and he hoped the solicitor to the Admiralty would take care
that the matter should be represented to the Board cf Trade.
—The solicitor to the Admiralty said that if he had known
what had come out in the presence of his Lordship, he cer-
tainly would have hesitated before he charged the captain,
and that he should take care that the case should be repre-
sented to the Board of Trade.—The captain said that he
should take the boy with him as a seaman, and his Lordship
discharged both defendants.
GUILDHALL.—FELONIOUS " WATER-MA RICS."—Mr J
Freeman, inspector of forged notes at the Bank of England,
was summoned before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, for detaining a
sheet of paper belonging to Mr. A. M. Job, a stationer, in
Bread-street.—Mr. C. Fmhfleld, one of the solicitors to the
bank, appeared on behalf of the defendant.—Mr. Job com-
plained of the detention of a sheet of paper manufactured
by him, and bearing the name of Dupont and Co. in the
water-mark. Mr. Freeman took it from him a mouth ago
at the Bank of England. He called on complainant and
inquired about some paper he had made for Mr. Thornton,
the same gentleman that committed suicide in a station-
house a short time since. Witness told him he thought he
had preserved one sheet of it fur his register of specimens,
but of course be could not part with that. He found the sheet
and took it to the bank to show Mr. Freeman, who seemed
to want to keep it. Witness tel him he could not part with
it, but he delivered it to him to show to the governor. After
keeping him waiting for a longtime he returned, and said he
intended to detain it. Witness was obliged to take this
course upon principle, to show that even the bank could not
be suffered to treat people in an arbitrary manner.--Mr.
Freshfleld said that after Thornton had destroyed himself a
short time since while in custody, charged with having posses-
sion of a forged note, at his lodging were found a plate and
implements fur preparing forged notes, and it was discovered
that Mr. Job had manufactured the paper for him. The
paper had the curved or waving bar in the water-mark pre-
cisely like the Bank of England notes. and by one of the
acts for preventing forgery it was enacted that no person
should manufacture paper with a curved or waving bar
water-mark, on pain of transportation for 14 years. The
way in which Mr. Job met the inquiry induced the Bank
to believe he had offended inadvertently, and no proceed-
ing was taken against him, though the mischief he had en-
abled Thornton to commit was enormous. Mr. Job had
manufactured for him paper for 10,000 notes, which might
have been filled up as 1001. or 1,0001. notes, and circulated
in India and Europe. The paper had fortunately been
seized at Alexandria, on its way to Cairo, where Thornton
had an establishment. If Mr. Job flattered himself that he
might lawfully have possession of paper on which he could
fabricate false notes, he was mistaken. It was declared to
be a felonious act to make such a water-mark, or to have a
sheet of such paper in possession. He warned Mr. Job that
he would be treated ea a felon if he were found offending
again.--Mr. Job said the act Mr. Freshfleld referred to
only related to the making of paper to be used in
England, but he had a perfect right to make paper
in any fashion for exportation, to be used by banks
in foreign countries. Mr. Alderman Gibbs inquired
for the section of the act to which Mr. Fresh-
field had referred.—Mr. Freshfleld handed to him the 11th
Geo. IV., cap. 66, sec. 13, 14.—Mr. Alderman Gibbs read
it, and said Mr. Job was certainly mistaken. There were
no words of limitation in favour of paper made to be used
abroad. It was unlawful, under any circumstances, for any
one but the bank of England to make paper like theirs in
respect to curved or waving watermark lines. Mr. Alder-
man Gibbs recommended Mr. Job to withdraw his corn-
plaint.—Tke bank retained the sheet of paper in issue. It
was produced in court. It was larger then a bank-note, and
had a border of watermark all round, the words " Dupont
and Co." appearing at the top and bottom, and " Egypt"
on each side; but a distinct water-line showed where this
border might be cut off, leaving a centre-piece exactly the
size of a bank-note, and leaving a watermark of curved or
waving lines exactly resembling the bank-note.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Mennen IN SPITALFIELDS.—
Sergeant King, 16 H, informed Mr. Broughton that Daniel
Crawley, who was stabbed last Saturday night in Spitnlfielda
by a woman, named Anne Sinner, had expired. On Friday
Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, went, accompanied by Mr.
Vine, the chief clerk, to take the evidence of the dying man,
which did not differ from the particulars already given in
our journal.—Mr. Broughton gave directions to the officer
to have all the evidence ready for the next examination of
Anne Sinner, alias Ruffey, who will then be charged with
the murder of the deceased.

MARLBOROUGH STREET. MRB. LeMAX. Mr.
Lomax, a solicitor, eldest son of General Lomax, attended to
give some explanation of the circumstances under which
General Lomax allowed his son's wife with her infant
child to remain in a state of destitution (particulars
have already appeased in our paper). Mr. Lomax
said General Lomax was not disposed to do more for his son
than allow him a sufficient sum to maintain him. Captain
Lomax was a person of such habits, that it was quite impos-
sible to entrust him with money. He would spend it in
dissipation, or if supplied with clothes, he would make away
with them immediately. General Lomax gave his son a
stated allowance, and could only refer the wife to his son for
support.—Mr. Hardwick said, from the statement of Mr.
Lomax, it was quite clear she had no prospect of receiving
assistance from her husband, and it was a question for
General Lomax to determine, whether it would not be advi-
sable, instead of paving the whole allowance to his son, to
set aside a portion or it for the use of his daughter-in-law and
his infant grand-daughter.—Mr. Lomax could not recom-
mend the general to adopt this course. Mr. Hardwick
said Mrs. Lomax was in so deplorable a state of destitution
as to render a resort to parish relief inevitable ; conse-
quently it would be necessary that a warrant should issue
against Captain Lomax, and if he did not satisfy the parish
he would he sent to the House of Correction.—'Mr. Lomax
said General Lomax would not interfere to check the opera-
tion of the law.

LAMBETH. —THEATRICAL FRACAS. - Mons. Wellens,
the owner of the " Pyrenees" dog, applied for assault
warrants against Mr. Barry, tne clown, and Mr. Broad foot, the
stage-manager, of Astley's Theatre. From the statement of
the applicant, it appeared that nn the night before, he was
engaged, with his dog, to play for Mr. Barry's benefit, in a
piece in which his dog was to exhibit so:ne extraordinary
feats. Owing to some cause or other things went wrong, and
the applicant, attributing the want of success to a deficiency
in the properties, and a want of proper rehearsals, vented his
feelings upon the carpeater of the establishment. While in
his dressing-room, he was attacked by Messrs. Barry and
Broadfoot, and severely ill-treated. M. Wellens, who speaks
the English language but imperfectly, exhibited marks of
severe ill-treatment, and the warrants were granted to him,
as desired.

SOUTHWARK.—A MESMERIC PATIENT. A tall,
emaciated-looking female said, in a very hurried and
confused manner, that about eighteen months ago she
became a patient to a mesmeric doctor, and had been
frequently operated upon by him at various exhibitions. On
the last occasion when he mesmerised her, he beat her and
brutally ilbused her, and had since plundered her of almost
every article she possessed. She had on various occasions
attempted to seek protection from his violence, and gave
notice to the police of the robbery. After some further observa-
tions she handed in a long written statement to the magistrate
which set forth her grievances.—The magistree, after
perusing the documents, said he could not assist her, as the
offence which she complained of was committed so long ago.
—The applicant, who appeared much astonished, seized
her papers and left the court.
THAMES.—CRtELTT AT SEA.—S. L. Lawson, master
of the barque Regalia, appeared to answer an assault warrant
issued at the suit of a negro seaman named Thomas Barton.
The complainant stated that he shipped with the prisoner at
Sierra Leone about three months age, and had been sub-
jected since to the utmost abuse and ill-usage. On one occa
sion, when he was ill, and lying on a pile of cordage and
sacking, about seven feet above the deck, the prisoner came
and gave him some medicine which was so nauseous that he
could not swallow the whole dose. The captain then seized
and dragged him from the pile down on the deck, by which his
hand and arm were so severely injured, that he had suffered
the severest pain ever since. 'Here the poor fellow exhibited
his hand, which was swollen like a boxing glove, whilst each
finger was separately bandaged. The day after the master
ordered hint to " turn to" on deck, when he replied he was
very ill, and unable to work, upon which the captain dragged
him up from below, and ordered him to the wheel, where he
remained during his watch. In the evening, when his next
watch was approaching, he prayed of the captain to remit his
duty, but the latter refused, and he was driven to the wheel,
where he was compelled to work with one hand, for two
hours; at last, he was obliged to leave off from pain
and exhaustion. On leaving the Cove of Cork, where
the vessel put in, complainant was ordered to lend
a hand in weighing the anchor, and on his re-
monstrating, the captain " rope's-ended " him through-
out the ship. The poor fellow then lent what assistance he
could with his single hand, the pain of his right hand being
at the time excruciating. After that the captain rope's-
ended: hint severely several times on the voyage from Cork
to London. The complainant called no witness, but there
were several black men present belonging to the crew, who
were all in tears, which they afterwards accounted for out-
side, by stating that if they were called upon to speak the
truth, they apprehended they should be most severely
treated on the voyage back to their own country. Here one
of the white men of the crew was called, but said he had no
evidence to give upon the subject, as he was sick below at
the time of the alleged assault.—The prisoner, who exhi-
bited great flippancy of manner, in several instances inter-
rupting the examination, and appearing, by the light manner
in which he met the charge, to think there was nothing in
the complaint of a black man which was worthy of being
attended to, expressed a desire to have the case postponed
until he could procure the attendance of his chief officer,
who was absent on leave.—Mr. Ballantine, in recapitulating
the complainant's statement, said, there was a primd facie
case of gross injury and abuse.—The prisoner baring fre-
quently broken in upon the observations of the worthy ma-
gistrate, Mr. Salentine at length said, " I am not on your
deck, and, therefore, will not endure your running-fire.
Whether black or white, every man on board your ship has
a right to be treated with humanity, and, as far as I am con-
cerned, I'll take care that it shall be so."—The case was then
postponed until Wednesday next

HAMMERSMITH.—FORTUNE-TELLING AND CHEM-
LiTT.—A young man, shabby-genteelly dressed, about 22
years of age, named James Jones, was brought up before
Mr. G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, on a warrant, charging
him with obtaining money under false pretences.—Margaret
Arsling, a female of respectable appearance, nearly 40 years
of age, deposed as follows :—On the '23rd of September last I
wentto the priaoner's house in James-street, Kensington, and

I sew him, and told him I had bad a little km, and he said,
" I know it, it's linen." I said, " No, it's money ; 275." The
prisoner said if I could afford to give 101. he would show me
the person who took it in a Flais. I told him I was a very
poor woman, and he then said if I made up my mind to give
him 10s. I was to send him a letter in the morning, and
bring the 10s. in the afternoon. The next day I went to his
house and saw him, and he asked me if I had got the 10s. I
said yes, and he told me to rat the money on what I consi-
dered a funeral pall, and ordered me out of the room. He
was then alone in the room, and in two or three minutes he
called me back, and asked me if I knew the party. I said no.
He had three knives in the room, one of which he took up.
and pretended to cut his hand. He then took a glass from
under the funeral pall, and, putting a candle before it, asked
me if that was the person. I saw the head of a female in the
glass. I told him I could swear to nobody, and he asked me
if I did not know the person ? lie then said, Mr. Jones could
do no more. Mr. Jones never told a lie ; and shook me by
the hand, and said I should be sure to have my money again
the following day. I told my master all about it. I have
never had the money.—The prisoner said he did not know
that he was violating the law by telling fortunes.—Mr. Clive,
however, dispelled his ignorance by sending him to prison
for three months, adding to his confinement hard labour.

MONEY MARKET.
SATuRGAT EVENING.
Greater firmness was displayed in Consols to-day,
the result of the more subdued tone in political affairs
perhaps. The prices recovered from the depression of yester-
day to their form, r quotations 'of 951 to 4 for money and
account, at which they closed. Exchequer Bills, 15s. to 18s.
premium. The dividends on the various stocks, which have
been shut preparatorily, will become payable in the ensuing
week. Bankers have been signing to-day at the Bank, and
on Monday the public will begin to receive. Money which
is now so easy on the stock exchange, and scarcely less so out
of it, will be rendered more abundant still probably for a
time. It may be expected, however, that the Bank will have
prepared, and be preparing now, for such a result, which
unchecked might lead to an inconvenient expansion of the
circulation, by drawing is loans and letting bills run out
to some extent, without taking in more to replace the
amount.
The foreign market has been in an inactive state. Spanish
were rather better ; the Fives, 264 to 1 ; the 1 hrees, 374 to 1;
the Deferred, 164 to 17 ; Passive, 54 to 4. Portuguese, 41
to 2. Mexican were quoted at the close of the market, 234
to 4, but weak. Ecuador, 34 to 4. New Granada, 21 to 4 ;
the Deferred, 31 to 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents,
591 to 4 • the Fours, 924 to 3.
The Bank of England averages for the week ending the
3rd instant show, as compared with those for the week pre-
ceding, the following results
Circulation—lssue £29,359,795
Circulation—Active 20,550,645
Public deposits
Other deposits
Government securities in
Bunking Department.. 12,961,3r0
Other securities 15,086,775
Coin and bullion
7 day and other bills ... 930,793
The Rest 3,886,983
Increase 7,097
These returns present some extraordinary differences as
compared with those, not only of the week preceding but, of
many months past. The diminished stock of coin and bul-
lion to so large an extent renders it probable that a propor-
tion was taken for exportation, although no direct evidence
of the fact can be readily obtained, as of the exports of the
precious metals, of gold in particular, but an unimportant
portion is effected from this port, and therefore they are not
officially registered. The bulk of these values withdra a n
consisted of gold furnished from the department of issue.
The rates of foreign exchange, which ruled comparatively
high at the time, would not appear to favour the notion of
an export of gold. The more easy solution of the cause of
the diminished stock present. itself in the payment of official
salmi's, which, it is assumed, are dealt out in hard money,
and a call of specie for Ireland against government draughts
fur public works, &e. The first supposition may be dismissed
as absurd, for government and bank officials do not demand,
and are net paid in coin, further than fractional quan-
tities. It is possible, however, there might have
been remittances of specie to Ireland, although it
is scarcely probable they should have been to any
extent, for the Irish banks were so well supplied at the time
as to qualify them for answering calls, or for covering the
additional issues of notes, to the amount of many hundred
thousands of pounds. If, moreover, specie were wanted
merely for the payment of wages, the call would have rather
been for silver. We are inclined to believe, therefore, that
gold was sent abroad in pursuance of some state financial
combination, the ends and conditions of which can only be
conjectured. This is the great market for gold, and however
its value may rule lower in other countries for mere mercan-
tile exchange operations, no large quantity at such lower
rates could, without a great disturbance of values, be
abstracted from foreign money marts. Tea might be pur-
chased cheaper in Hamburg than in London, because not an
article of common consumption there, and therefore the stock
proportionally insignificant; but if a million pounds
were wanted the buyer would resort to London,
where, although the price was fractionally higher,
he could obtain that quantity, and more, without
in the least disturbing orice, or creating that movement and
commotion in the relations of value which must inevitably
follow such an operation in Ilamburgh. As gold is treated
as a commodity like tea, the rule which applies to the one
e'eould govern the other. It is just possible that, in the
money penury reigning in Berlia and elsewhere in Germany,
the Prussian government may have keen solicitous to rein-
force the coffers of the state hank with an increased fund of
bullion or specie, as a basis for the further issues of bank
paper, already authorised to the extent of ten millions of
dialers, and which, it is believed, will be carried to twenty
millions. The cheapest recourse for an operation requiring
a large quantity of gold and silver would be to the whole-
sale market, where, although prices might be a fraction
higher, the larger stock on hand would prevent any con-
vulsion of values. The Bank of England has not unfre-
quently paid for gold in bulk on higher terms than what the
rates of exchange seemed to justify. It is not, however, in-
tended to conclude that the outflow of hard money from the
Bank must necessarily have taken the direction indicated,
or have followed from the causes hypothetically only set
forth, although such may have been the rase. the tenour
of the facts and observations is to be understood as suggestive
only, in the absence of the more positive data which are re-
quisite to a safe conclusion.
The great increase of active circulation is more than ac-
counted for by the still greater increase of the securities re-
presenting discounts tuna loans to the amount. Within the
three weeks ending at the date of these returns the amount
of those securities was enlarged by not far short of three
millions. As the period for the payment of the October divi-
dends was approaching, a considerable proportion of this
excess will probably fall away, by the repayment of loans,
and the maturing of bills discounted, the amount of which
would not be replaced by renewed transactions to the same
extent. Unless such should be the case, the supplementary
increase arising from the paying out of dividends might lead
to an inconvenient expansion of the active circulation, and
more so still should a continued drain of hard money super-
vene. The small increase in public deposits is explained by
the comparative cessation of the half quarterly payments of
revenue into the Bank.
MEXICAN LOAN AFFAIRS.—It is stated by members of
the Spanish American committee that, at their sitting yes
terday, the only quertion entertained was about the reported
forgeries of Mexican bonds. If each were the fact, it betrays
a singular indifference to the interests of their constituents,
and to their own position with respect to the conversion
scheme. Reports are current of another conversion to be
brought forward, by which the bonds so lately cut down in
principal should be again cut down in interest, that is, to a
3 per cent. Mock. It is unnecessary to say more at present.
Disclosures cannot long be staved off, when it will be seen
how the committee and other parties shall come out of the
business.
