FORGED CHEQUES.— W. lYilmshurat, who was convicted
the day before of uttering three forged cheques to a large
amount, with Intent to defraud the London and County
Bank, was again placed at the bar and charged with having
on Jan. 11, 1847, at Dorchester, Dorset, feloniously uttered
a forged order of Mears. Cocks, Biddulph, and Co. for 3001.
with intent to defraud Messrs. William. and Co , bankers,
Dorehester.—The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
the Judge sentenced him to be transported for fire.

with having uttered and put off a certain pass, on the sth of
February last, with intent to defraud the Great Western
Railway Compary.—Guilty, but in consequence of some
points being raised by counsel for the prisoner, the Judge
deferred peanng sentence.

stealing a sheep, the property of John Christopher e
but on examining the prosecutor, it was found that his
name was Thomas Jame. Wells, and, in consequence, the
Judge immediately directed the jury to acquit the prisoners,
to the utmost astouishm?nt of them and the whole court.
So many indictments remain undisposed of, that the
assizes will not terminate this week, as anticipated. A for-
gery case of considerable interest, in which an Oxford trades-
man is the party amused, is likely to occupy some time.

note from a letter posted at the office in that town. The jury
returned a verdict of Guilty, recommending the pri-
soner to mercy on the ground of his previous character.—
The learned judge, however, declined to concur in the re-
commendation, u he considered that a person in the situa-
tion of the prisoner could only have obtained the office he
held by his having previously been of good character, and it
was an aggravation of his offence to take advantage of that
eireunistanos to commit a breach of trust. Sentence deferred.

COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET at CITY INTELLIOF.NCF..
The transactions in the funds this morning have
been more than usually important. According to
some reports very strong efforts have been made to
support the market, and as large amounts of money
stock have been taken, the speculative object in that
case will have been answered, not so much,
however, in raising the prices of stock, as
in communicating greater steadiness to the
market. If, however, on the contrary, the pur-
chases of money stock have been for real in-
vestment, the improvement rests on more legi-
timate grounds, and should be expected to be
more permanent accordingly. Consols opened
and remained for some time at from 82 to I but
under the influence of the operations referred to
gradually advanced afterwards to 82 buyers. A slight
reaction now make s them sellers at that price both

The Belgian government found it expedient on the
lst inst., to issue a notice to the effect that the notes
of the Bank of the Societe Generale erablished for
the support of national industry, and of the Bank of
Belgium, would still be rectivtd, as before, in all the
collectorships of the state in payment of taxes and
customs' duties. This declaration may serve to re-
establish the confidence in paper money, which was
shaken to some extent by the failures at Antwerp. A
considerable proportion of the capital stock of the
Bank of Belgium is owned in this country.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,

We have accounts from Paris up to late last even-
ing. The returns which were hourly arriving from
the provinces showed an immense majority for Louis
Napoleon.
The following is from our own correspondent :

PARIS, WEDNINDLY, 5 30 P.M.

It is impossibleadequatelyto describe the effect i
which the results of the elections which continue to
arrive hourly have produced in the Chamber. All i
A 2• are literally thunderstruck, the partisans of I
scarcely less so than those of Cavaignac. 1
*tey was expected, indeed counted on with
by all, but none expected such • universal :
ankles as that which has burst upon Paris ,
from every quarter of the country. It would
be tedious and uninteresting to send you '
the long list of numerical returns from various
departments now lying before me. They are all to
the same tune and words, the proportion of votes for
Louis Napoleon bearing to those for Cayaignao a
ratio? Villicn varies from four to twenty fold.
Telegraphic despatches have arrived to-day, from
numerous departments, addressed to the mir ietry of
the Interior, announcing that Louis Bonaparte has
received in them 80 and 90 per cent. of the entire
number of suffrages.
The intelligence which I sent you some days ago,
that M. Odilon Barrot was to be president of the
council, instead of being vice-president of the
republic, is confirmed. M. Bineau is to have
portfolio of commerce. The appointment of
Leon Faucher to public works. which I also announced
to you, is confirmed. Much difficulty has been
found especting the finances, but that portfolio has
been definitively given to M. Achille Foald. The
Ministry of the Interior is not yet settled, but will, I
believe, be given, as I have already told you, to M.
Leon de Malleville. General Changarnier is to be
governor of Paris, with the command.in-cbitf
of all the National Guards of France and
the army. The Ministry of Public Instruc-
tion is still doubtful, but will, it is said,
be taken either by M. St. Barthelemy St.
Hilaire or M. Aurilian de Seze, the latter of whom is
a legitimist.
The diplomatique will be almost completely
res
and all ministers who have been
sent to foreign countries by MM. Lamartine and
Leda% Rollin will be revoked.
the new ambassadors will be included
Mr°l3l, Pontois, Mastery, De Bourqueney,
and Walewski. M. de Beaumont has, it is said,
already resigned the London embissy, as have MM.
d'Harcourt, Le Flo, and Bois le Comte.
Nothing of the slightest interest ooeurred in the
chamber today. The troth is, in the present state of
the minds of the representatives, stunned as they are
with the results of the election, all serious delibers-
I don Is out of the quesdon.

CONFIDENCE IN LORD CLARENDON.

The following is a report of the meeting of the Dublin
corporation to wh:ch we yesterday referred
The Loan MAYOR took the chair, and the council was
abed over. The attendance was very considerable.
Alderman KIMAKAN rose to propose an address from the
council to Lord Clarendon, returning him thanks for the
able and judicious manner in which he exercised the powers
entrusted to him by parliament,and congratulating him upon
the complete anemia which attended the measures adopted
by him for protecting, not only this city in particular, hut
the entire of the country, from the tvils of in-
surrection and the horrors of domestic rebellion.
The address, after expressing the loyalty of the oorporation
to hir /dainty, procetded to express the admiration of the
council for the measures taken and the course adopted by his
Excellency. The address then proceeded to speak of the
organisation of the confederation. and the happy safety of
the country from turbulent agitation and unruly violence.
Having then referred to the augmented military torte intro-
duced into the city in the commencement of this year, they
had now only to express a hope that the result would relieve
the government from the necessity of renewing any enev,ive
niesseres.
Mr. WALKER seconded the address, in terms little likely
to essciliate the opposite side of the house.
Alderman O'Batsw, M.P., moved an amended address
thanking his excellency for the temperate, able, and humane
manner in which he need the powers committed to him by
parliament, and telling upon his excel.eney, now that pees'
was happily restored, to promote an inquiry int* the causes
which had stimulated the late discontent, and that he would
recommend the removal of the many grievances under which
the country laboured.
Alderman KE@HAN 'monad the amendment, which was
carried by a large majority.

THEATRICAL WARFARE IN AMERICA.-00: corre-
spondent at New,York writes as follows: " Ths last local ex-
citement we have now to amuse us is the quarrel between
Forrest and Macready. I alluded in a preceding letter to
the attempt made In Philadelphia to hiss the latter from the
stage, whish was defeated. Mr. Macready made 11.4113 ex-
planation of his views in relation to the matter, to which
Mr. Forrest replied in a rude, ill-tempered, and vulgar note,
containing personal allusions of the most uncalled-for cha-
racter. Every one was surprised, and the press without en
exception that we remember has condemned his conduct To
the assertions of Mr. Forrest Mr. Macready has rejoiced, and,
alter denying the statements of his assailant in the most so-
lemn manner, has declared his intention of appealing to oar
laws for redress. In the meantime the English tragedian is
honoured with larger audiences than ever, and Mr. Forrest
has lost much of the ground over which with his huge legs
he so sturdily strode."

SCOTLAND.

EDINBORO/I, Die. 12.
As in 1832, the cholera seems to be more malignant
in Damfries than in any other part of Scotland. Per-
haps the peculiar sanitary state of the town may ac-
count for this. The river Nith runs through it on one
side, and on the other, but at a greater distance, is the
lary swamp of Locher Moss; whilst, worse than
either, there is no water brought into the town except
by carts. The disease is said to be prevalent amongst
other than the lower mike, and many have deserted
the place. The medical officer of the Board of Health
has left Edinburgh for Dumfries.
The government has come down upon 'the halters
of Brachia for payment of their teinds. No collection
having been made for several years, the system was
supposed to have fallen into desuetude, and property
has been bought and sold under this impreesion. The
arrears claimed are 4,9311. 19s. 9d., while, if sold at
nine years' purchase, the amount would be 6,3411. 2s.
The government claim. the teinds as representing the
obsolete bishopric) of Brechin, to which they were
annexed. Possibly the demand may have some re-
ference to the repairs recently executed on Breohin
cathedral by the Woods and Forests' commissioners.
The whole subject of the teinds of Scotland requires
clearing up.
A curious ecclesiastical case is presently before the
civil courts. A clergyman in Blairgowrie, Perth-
shire, having refused baptism to the child of a school-
master, the case went the run of the church courts,
and ended in the baptism of the child. The school-
master then instituted a civil action, and, in absence,
the Lord Ordinw found the defendant liable to 6001.
damages personally, and 1,6001. in conjunction with
his kirk session. In the meantime, the clergyman
has commenced a new suit against the schoolmaster's
wife for non-attendance at church.

A meeting of the Spottiswoode Society has been
summoned, with a v►ew to its dissolution. The
society was instituted for the purpose of re-publishing
the writings of the Scotch episcopalian divines, and
it was in answer to one of the Spottiswoode publica-
tions that the Duke of Argyll wrote his recent work
on " Presbyterianism." fhe Woodrow Society, which
commenced prior to the Spottiswoode, and issued
works connected with presbyterian literature, is also
about to be abandoned. The Calvin Society. re-
stricted to the works of Calvin ; and the Spalding
Club, limited to the archcoulogy of the northern
counties, still go on.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGU, OCT. 24.
It Laving been found that no board of health can be
formed in Edinburgh, in consequence of the non•ap-
plication of Lord Morpeth's bill. to Scotland, the sani-
tary state of the city has to be confided to the commis-
sioners of police and parochial boards. The first fruits
of which arrangement is that the parochial boards
will not unite in order to carryout precautions against
the spreading of cholera. The board' of St. CuthUrt's
has the credit of breaking up the unanimity that
otherwise prevails among the other boards connected
with the city ; and as it so happens that some three-
fifths of the city is within St. Cuthbert's the obstinacy
of its board is a matter of some consequence. St.
Cuthbert's promisee to take charge of its own cholera
patients, but, judging from appearances, they will not
be very vigilantly looked atter, unless the board be
well watched. The want of a national system of re-
gistrations of deaths is now felt: in hospitals and
other public iustitutionsreturns can easily be obtained,
but the difficulty in getting returns from private
practitioners is such, that the Lord Provost boa had
to issue a proclamation requiring daily reports to be
made to him.

The death of Professor Tennant, of St. Andrew's,
has caused a vacancy in the Hebrew chair of that
university as well as in Edinburgh College. The en-
dowment in St. Andrew's is 1101 in Edinburgh 1151
In fees, St. Andrew's formerly bad the advantage, but
probably the balance is now the other way. A sub-
scription has been commenced to reimburse Mr. Mac-
donall for his expenses in contesting the Edinburgh
Hebrew chair. _ _

An association has been formed in Glasgow for the
purpose of checking farther depreciation in railway
property. The means proposed are the publication
of correct accounts of the capital and income of each
line, and their intentions and powers in regard to
new works, branches, and amalgamations. The
Glasgow and Ayr Company was to take the initiative
in this judicious course by publishing full and accu-
rate details of their present transactions and future
liabilities.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA AND CHINA.

By the Overland Mail, just arrived, there are
amounts from Hong song, 23rd August; ecicutta,
7th; and Bombay, 15th September.
A considerable force had assembled at Moulin,
and, by the last advices, was ready to commence the
siege of that fort. Moolnj, it was said, is resolved to
sell his life dearly, and there was no doubt but that he
had some devoted followers to stand by him to the
last

The Delhi Occette, of the Bth September, says
" Endeavoors to seduce the Sepoys of our own regi-
ments by Moolrej are amongs the attempts made,
his instruments bring deserters from the British
army, who promise high pay and other advan-
tages. Two of these came to a Sepoy of the 61st
Native Infantry, who appeared to agree to take ser-
vice with the Dewan oa fifteen rupees a month. After
a while he induced the decoys to go with him to his
tent, and then quietly slipped away to report to the
officer of his company what had occurred. The
two men were forthwith apprehended, and Moot-
rare purwannahs found on their persons. Seve-
ral head of cattle, and among them some
camels and an elephant of General Which, had
been captured by the Dewan's foraging parties. The
two remaining companies of the 32nd Foot (under
Capt. Pigott) had arrived in safety at Kurrnmpoor,
but found, on reaching that place, that the whole of
the carriage cattle had been taken on with the regi-
ment. The latest letters from Moulton are dated the
29th of August. The force continued comparatively
inactive, and we regret to learn that supplies were
beginning to be so scarce that it wee seriously pro-
posed. to commence on the stores taken down by the
commissariat. It seemed to be the general opinion
that the train would not reach before the 4th
Sept., but we should think it would hardly take eight
days to do from four to five ordinary marches, for
they left the (That on the 28th. A wing of the Slat
Native Infantry had been sent to eeoort the guns. A
heavy shower of rain had fallen on the 23th, and

caused five Carlists to be shot at Liria."

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.-YIIMILDAY.

_
Before D. C. Moylan,
NATHAN D. MACICIN.—A COURT Darts.—This was an
action brought by Mr. Nathan, costumier of Castle
street, Leicester-square, to recover of the defendant,
manatee tailor, residing in Ryder-street? St. James's, the
sum et 71. as. 6d., under tho following circumstances. The
Vai..tiff stated that the defendant eallid on him some time
since and hired a court suit for a day, the proper charge for
which would be from two and • ball to three guinerie Per
day for the hire. lie kept it several days, and he (plaintiff)
sent him word that the hire was going on, and when it
reached 101. be sent in • bilL—The defendant, in uswer to
that, said he (Nathan) " might do his be 4;" but he after-
wards came and wi'hed to settle the matter.
Being a customer, he was willing to reduce the
claim from 101. to 7 guineas, the value of the dens.—
Judge: Is it possible that any man in his senses would pay
101. for the hire of a dress, the intrinsic nine of which is
only 7 guineas)—Mr. Nathan : It was only hired for one
night, your honour, and if it is not returned, the charge for
hire increases in amount the larger it is kept. At the inter-
view it was arranged that defendant should give him 7
guineas in full satisfaction of the debt, and a cheque for that
amount was drawn out. On presenting the cheque at the
banker's it was dishonoured. Ina few clays after that the
defendant's man brought the "court suit," and threw it in
his shop, but he threw it out *gain. (Laughter.) The de-
, fondant admitted giving the cheque to plaintiff, for at that
time be wee not in possession of the dress. The fact was
that he hired the snit for a gentleman who represented him-
self as the Rev. Mr. Rckhel, a clergyman from Gettna,y,
who stated that hews, sent n a deputation Irom that coun-
try to visit her Majesty at Osborne, and that he re-
quired for the visit a " black court suit." When be nest
heard of the Rev. Mr. Eckhel he was in Horsemongerlane
gaol, on a charge of plundering another tradesman. That
ease was proved spinet him, end he was convicted and sen-
tenced to be transported fir seven years. The Rev. Mr.
Eckbel wrote to him from the print and told him where he
had pledged the dress. He recovered it in a perfect state,
and returned It to Mr. Nathan, but Mr. Nathan would not
have it —The Judge said it appeared to be • very hard as
far as Mr. blacken was concerned, but nothieg that cm-
tuned afterwards, such as the return of the dress to Nathan,
could nuns his liability. The bargain was complete for
the sale of the dries the moment defendant signed the cheque,
and he could not conceive bow Mr. Mackin could escape the
liability of paying it. An order wee then made for the pay-
ment of 71. 125., with oasts.
