social disease proposed is, that government should either
grant a loan to rills willing to nodertake the draining,
and otherwise bringusg into
cultivation extensive tracts of
waste lands in the Can-spine and Luxemburg, on which one-
half of the indigent population might be employed or
located ; or guarantee a minimum rate of 3 per cent. interest,
my to the annual charge of three millions of francs to the
state, to such capitalists se should be willing to embark in
the enterprise on their own account, and would expend one
hundred millions of francs in reclaiming these wild lands of
bog and morass.

Lisbon letters state that in consequence of the
unsettled state of the island of Madeira, SENHOR
AVILA, formerly Finance Minister, has been sent to
that place by the Government, with full powers to
endeavour to conciliate all parties.
COMMITTAL OF CAPT. RICHARDSON.

MANSION-ROL/SR.—Tun Case or Carr. RICHARD-
sow.—The prisoner was again brought before the Lord
Mayor, on the charge of having converted a 101. into a
5,01.41. eheaue, as Chairman of the Worcester, Tenby, and
Ladle+ Railway Company, and thereby defrauded Megan.
Cowen and Co., the banker. Mr. Rdwerd lugletiack, clerk
in Messrs. Coutts' bank, examined:—The prisoner called at
the bank, sad asked for the Innsehere of amount which
were in the names of Richardson and others ; but
he declined to give them without the signatures
of all the parties to the amount. The prisoner
stated es a reason fee d them, that be himself was
Mr. Richardson. Witness said be knew that, bet that it
was contrary to the practice of the bank to do otherwise than
he bad already stated. Mr. Richardson was accompanied by
two gentlemen, whom witness did not then know. One of
them he since heard wee Mr. Fry, solicitor to the company,
who asked if Captain Richardson could see the vouchers,
to which witness replied that to that there was nociWeetion,
and acccedingly brought them, in company with another
clerk, named Longden, whom melt with Capt. Richardson to
see that they were not mita away. Witness afterwards
returned to Captain Riehardsoa, wile said that the cheque
for 5,0001. was a forgery, but that his signature to it was
genuine ; and, on asking him if he thought the other signa-
tures also genuine, he said that such was his belief. Witness
said that if it were a forgery he did not think that Mears.
Coutta' ware responsible, and on going for Mr. Coltherst,
cue of the directors of the Bank, Captain Richardson
repeated, in his presence, that the cheek was a
forgery, but that the signatures were genuine;
adding, that it had been drawn in his own handwriting
for 101., and that be passed it away as a cheque for that
amount. Mr. Colthurst thereon observed that it was a
frightful fraud.—Cromexamin. ed by Mr. Clarkson : Showed
that cheque to Mr. Baroham, a stationer, in the Strand, who
was of opinion that it had been altered. (Andet, observed
nal= Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Ba is not produced.)—Mr. Pule-
ford, secretary to the company, examined : Hadseen five or
six blank cheques about the 30th April, signed by
Mr. Whitmore and others, bat not by Mr. Stephen-
son. Mr. Vi hitrisore was leaving town, and Captain
Richardson asked him to sign some cheques for the purpose
of paying solicitors' and other bills, which had not up to that
time undergone taxation, and Mr. Whit more did so. Those
were the only blank cheques bearing the signatures of
directors he had teen. The Chief Clerk then proceeded to
read the depositions of the several witnesses, for the purpose
of haying them attested and signed. On reading those of
Mr. Stephenson, that gentleman was, at the request of Mr.
Clarkson, handed three cheques by Mr. Colthurst, dated in
May, and bearing his (witness's) signature, which he
swore he attached to them :after the cheques had been
filled up. After seeing those cheques, although he did
not recollect where he signed them, he was still prepared to
swear to the best of his recollection, that he never signed any
cheque in blank, in his capacity of director of the company.
—Mr. Clarkson then took occasion to correct a mistake into
which some of the public journals had fallen, respecting a I
question he had put to Mr. Stephenson on the last occasion.
He said, " I give you notice that there are persons in court
who have seen the cheques to which I refer," and not as re-
ported, " I have seen the cheques, &.c." Mr. Clarkson also
wished it to be distinctly understood that he did not
in the remotest degree attribute Mr. Whitmore's
absence to any criminal participation In this affair. He ex-
pressed a desire for the pretence of Mr. Whitmore, simply
in order to obtain from him in evidence what he could not
get from Mr. Pulsford, namely, that Mr. Whitmore had
, signed blank cheques as a director of the company.—The
prisoner was then committed to • Newgate to take his
trial, on the charge of felony, on Monday, the 21st instant,
at the Central Criminal Court, and the several witnesses
were bound over in their recognisance* of 40/, to attend and
give evidence upon that occasion.

MARK•LANE, Two o'clock. The little English
Wheat on sale in Mark-lane this morning was disposed of to
our town =Men, at previous quotations. A few west
country buyers attended our market to-day, and took off a
moderate quantity of free foreign Wheat at prices fully equal
to those of Monday. But few transactions took y Laos in
either hooded Wheat or Flour.

Fine malting Barley is scarce, and sells readily at high
rates. Distillery Barley met a brisk sale, but the value of it,
as well as of grinding sorts, is unaltered.
We continue to be moderately supplied with Oata. This
article is purchased by both dealers and consumers in
limited quantities, as these gentlemen have no confidence
that the present high prima will be maintained in the face of
largian• supplies.
s were inquired for, and several parcels of old English
were taken this morning for shipment coastwise.
Peas fully as dear as on Monday.
