Prom the financial stwments of the society's affairs, l
appear to stand one solid foundation. It portages funded
property and ground-rents which produce above 1,8001. •
year, and the rest of Its resources, derived from subscrip-
tions, donations, and the contributions of the members,
generally raise its income to about 3,0001. per annum. But
the claims upon It, at the present time, an very heavy, and
benevolent persona could not do • greater service to humanity
then by contributing to its fends.

CaMt•ULL, who haa always as a legalatow shown a
laudable anxiety to redress and remedy the evils the;
have occurred to him practically in his judicial capa-
city, should endeavour to cams to the suitor's aid.
By his Bill unanimity in juries is dispensed with, but
• majority of nine will still be requisite. And in
the humane spirit of our law, which always seeks
to render conviction in criminal cues as difficult se
is consistent with a due consideration for the ends of
justice, this Bill is confined to civil amass. We
have not detailed or enlarged upon the old and well-
known arguments against the requirement of una-
•imity in juries, or considered whether in Ireland or
Scotland the interests of justice suffer from litigants
being bound by a decision of majorities in juries. Bat
ma rest cur plea for this Bill on the proved necessity
for it, arising, in our belief, from the cause to which
we have before adverted, and which threatens to
have a yet more extended effect. At the same time
if unanimity in juries eau be dispensed with, we
should rejoice with the late eminent Mr. HALLAM,
that what he termed " that preposterous relic of
" barbarism" is at length to be swept away.

GUILDHALL.

Sir James Duke, es one of the directors on duty at the
London Joint Stock Bank, attended for the purpose of draw-
ing attention to anew system of forgery and fraud which
was being carried on to a very coanderable extent at the
West-end with a view to put the public on their guard
against such practices. The mode of operatiote was that of
obtaining a beak cheque•book in the name of some customer
of the bank, and filling up the cheques for small amounts of
61. or 61. each, which they presented at various newspaper
offices as payment for one or two Insertions of advertisements
cut from any newspaper, and as the cheques were signed
with names of penes' well known to the public.
no difficulty was experienced in obtaining change for
the chequer in cash. Ire the present Instance a chequebook,
containing one hundred cheques, was obtained of the London
Joint Stock, upon a forged order only a ahort time ego, end
in one day as many as four cheques which had been passed
la that manner had been presented at the bank for payment,
not one of the persons whose names were forged to the
cheques being customers of that beak. One cheque was
Opted in the name of Edwin Smith and Co. ;" another in
that of " &von and Co. ;" and doubtless the remaining 96
bleak cheques would be tilled in with the names of ether
=equally well known. He (Sir James Duke) maids
directors, however, considered that the most 'damsel
mesas of preventing the circulation of them cheques wee
that of publicity, and they trusted that this exposure would
have the effect among that class of persons moot likely to be
victimised. _ _ _

Alderman Copeland, who was also present, said it wee
really extraordinary with what pmweverance certain veteran
of tread were carried on. It was only lead year he was very
successful in breaking up a very extensive gang of swindlers,
whose principal trade area potatoes. He thought he had
effectually put en end to the potato fraud; but he wee mis-
takes, as the following latter addressed to his bailiff at Stoke-
speet-Trant would show :
" 24, Idetichester•etreet, King's-cress,
London, Oct. 4.
" Dear Sir, —We have heard you have a quantity of po.
tuba for sale; if so, please forward us a amok with lowest
price and quantity. Should the quality, &0., suit, we are
buyers. Let this sack be an average sample, for which we
will remit you a receipt,—Ws sr% air, yours respectful!),
Co." Mr. J. Palby." ARTHIII Waling? and O
Mr. Alderman Copeland said, on receipt of that letter he
wrote for reference?, bat 'heady answer he received was that
cash would be paid for the potatoes on delivery—no notice
whatever being taken about the question of references. He,
therefore, sent his deck to the address in the letter, and he
there felted several persons regaling themselves over their
pipes with brandy and water, and be had no doubt dividing
the planter obtained from other ponies. Had he not made
these inquiries, he should probably have had to tell a different
tale, and reckoned himself among the potato victims.

THAMES.

Jonathon IVsitAbeek, a labourer, of 9, King-street, Com-
mercial-road East, was brought before Mr. Salle, charged
with committing a saysge assault upon Cardioe, his wife.
The complainant appeared to have been terribly punished.
She had a good Gael of blood, and was io a weakly con-
dition. It app-arid from her evidence that there had been a
christening of a relative's child on Sunday, a good deal of drink-
ing going on, and that on the previous day abs had accompanied
the pefrouer'a mother. and others, on a visit to the mother
of the child christened on Sunday. On their return boon
the complainant and the prisoner's mother quarrelled and
began fighting. The prisoner interfered, dragged his +ifs
from bid mother, and *tract her repeatedly over the bead,
face. and eyes, completely disabling her. She lost a large
quantity of blood.
Mr. Selfe—How long have you been married to him ?
The complainant—Four years, sir. He beat roe very
very brutally once before, and was sentenced to one month's
imprisonment.
The prisoner—We were not married then.
Stlio—Bot you are married now. Married or not you
are sot to boot women.

Charles Jam. Child., • police conatatle, No. 193 11,
sakl b• found the complainant quite unounaciotm, s•d
'•smothered with blood." The people told him that th•
viewer had rasped hie grits by the throat and beat her l
• willamme man•er. She was is • dreadful state, and her
nose was broken._ _ _ .

WORSHIP-STREET.

Burrell Sutterfteld, 14 yeses of age, was charged before
Mr. D'Eynoourt with stealing in the home of his employer,
Mr. Thames Bithrie. draper, &a. of Pitdeld-street, Holton.
Mr. Bitbrle stated that the prisoner had been engaged by
him as an errand boy only • few hours previous to the
robbery. On the previous day he was sent up to clean
windows In one of the bedrooms, and shortly afterwards •
brooch, worth two guineas, was missed. It belonged to •
young lady named Bartholomew, visiting at the house.
Prisoner denied all knowledge of the article, bat it was
found in his waistcoat pocket. He was taken to the 'teflon-
house, and then a pair of boots left by the cashier, in an
available place for removal, were missed. The thief in the
one case was reasonably suspected of being so in the other,
consequently be was questioned about that. Again he pro-
fessed innocence, but they were found on his feet, and in one
of them • pencil we. This turned out to be the property of
witness, and struck with the impotence that prompted the
commission of three separate thefts in so short a space of
time, he gave the boy into custody for the aspirate of-
fence*.

The father of the boy said be bad • family of eleven boys
and girls, yet this, he was happy to say, wan the only one
who oould be berutded as • bed character—learn he would
not, end pilfer he would.
Mr. D'Eyuccurt observed that realty of these sad eases
ems before this court, in which It was shown that the
offenders brought disgrace upon their hard-working parents,
Filmier was sent fur 21 days to the House of Correction,
and ordered to be well whipped.

The Chairman, in his charge to the grand jury, mars-
Misted them upon what appeared by the mune to be ea
extmordinary diminution In the amount of crime committed
in the county. It appeared that during the two yews end-
ing the 30th of September, 1867, upwards of eleven thousand
prisoners ware committed to the County Gaol end the %aft-
worth Bowe of Correction, end that during the last two
yew; ending the 30th of September, 1869, only nine
thousand were committed, thus showing a diminution of
two theasand prisoners committed during the same period.

expedition which the government is about to and

Correspondancia Autografa says that the expedition

who had been guilty of acts of hostility to the
Spaniards should be given up, and threatening to
employ force if they were not. The consul, it adds,
had retired from Tangiers to await an answer.

suppression of the Ministry of Commerce, and the aseholng
of its different branches to other departments, occupies mum
time.

PARIS, FRIDAY Evicamto..

We shall, in all probability, bare to look but little
loogsv in the direction or Zurich as the central point
of European interest. It seems tolerably certain
that the conference is on the point of breaking up,
leaving everything of importance undone. The dis-
tribution of the debt, quite a secondary question, is
announced by the Vienna Prone to be settled in
principle, while its details will be carried out by a
commission. Lombardy, it is said, will be charged
with an income of 5 millions lire upon the Monte-
Milano, and will take 200 millions of the Austrian
debt.

The Tuscan deputation, charged with offering the
King of Piedmont the tioa of the country, is
said to have quitted Florence yesterday. It consists
of the Counts ligoline della Gherardesea and &Apiece
Borghese, Professor Giorgino, Doctor Rinaldo
Reschi, and M. Pietro Augusto Adand, director of
the National Bank of Leghorn.

A letter in a Genoese journal gives the cheering
announoement that the Neapolitan government is
preparing a constitution based upon an elective sys-
tem and a national assembly. Triennial parliaments,
to sit every year, but only for fifteen days ; respon-
sible ministers; and the power of dissolution of the
parliament by the King, with the consent of his
ministers, are among the features particularised.
I believe it has been ascertained beyond all doubt
that the higher clergy in Tuscany are disposed to
carry out the won poastonus principle. Rome will,
to the very last, act by the all-pervading fibres of
her organisation against the substitution of light for
darkness, persuasion for tenor, and truth for false-
hood. The provisional governments are doubtless
well informed as to all that passes, and will be pre-
pared equally against secret foes and open enemies.

nounoe positively that on the preceding Thursday M.
Thouvensl had remitted a note to the Porte, contain-
ing an official demand for a firmau favourable to the
Suez Canal project of M. de Lesseps.
The Ambassadors of Austria, Prussia, Rungs, and
Sardinia simultaneously supported that demand ac-
cording to their instructions.
A council of ministers was then held. Fuad
Pasha confessed that he had personally engaged
himself to refuse the authorisation to the canal
project. The Grand Vizier declared he would not
recognise such engagements. After a stormy dis-
cussion the ministers agreed to request the powers
which had made the above demand to come to an
understanding with England on the matter.
Sir Henry Bulwer had been received by the
Sultan, and bad numerous conferences with the
Ministers.

MARYLEBONE.

A meeting of the members of this corps wu held
last evening in the Pavilion at Lord's Cricket-ground, to de-
rids upon a proposition for changing the nerve of the corps,
and adopting the designation of the" West NMiddlesex Rises."
This alteration arse proposed in cneervenie of the intended
formation of additions' companies to Bayswater, Netting-
hill, Shepherd's Bush, Hammersmith, and other neighbour-
ing place., to belong to the some corps. There was a
crowded meeting, and Lord &sperm:is, the commander of
the corps, presided.

TheCifAIRY/01 stated, on behalf of the managing mujijea,
the resume which induced them to recommend thu change
of name. When canvassing for new members in Paddiugtan,
Bayswater, end elsewhere, they found some difilcultiea raised
about joining a corps which seemed by its new. exclusively
to belong to the inhabitants of Marylebone. Now, their only
object was to obtain a numerous and efficient body of volun-
teer., and if the name was any impediment to that object, It
should be altered. They now had a practice ground at
Wormwood-scrubs, which would probably be found the most
centre and convenient situation for men residing in the
western part of the eot.nty. It was therefore proposed to
adopt the name of the " West Middleari Rides."
. ..

A resolution to this effect having been moved by Mr.
Banes, and seconded by Mr. HOWE,
Mr. FOoTE moved as an amendment, that the propriety of
ebanging the name of the snipe having been discussed on
former occasions, it was still deemed unneemeuy ani impo-
litic to do so. He custended that the borough of Marylebone,
with its population Mincers! bandied thooaand, haring con-
tributed the greater part of the fond of 1,4001. already
raised ought to give Rename to the corps, and that its name
should not be merged In another to suit the pretensions of
small communities like Acton or Hammersmith.
Mr. J. WILSON seconded the amendment, remarking that
Marylebone had always marched in the vanguard of liberty;
she was large enough, patriotic enough, and parochial enough
to hem a corps of her own, and her name ought not to be
lost.

Mr. DExtsorr, assistant judge-advocate-general, urged
the duty of putting aside all local jealousiee and oaring only
for the service of the country. By taking In a larger district
they would get more men, and the come was of no account.
Indeed, be hoped these rift., corps would cease to have any
local name., and be distinguished by their numbers only,
taking precedence by the date of their formation.
Several other gentlemen spoke; Mr. Hodges, Mr. O.
Dickers, and one or two more in favour of the amendment;
Mr. Salter and Mr. Thompson in favour of the proposed
alteration.

ihs---ardendment wee then put to the vote, when 18 bands
were held up in favour of it, and all the root of the resetiag
voted against it. The ori,ginal motion was therefore carried
by an immense majority.
The edeofive members of the corps, numbering about 300,
who wore their uniform (e plain tunic and cap of grey
tweed), then shouldered their Enfield, and proceeded to drill.
