LORD PALMERSTON AND THE NEW FOREIGN
Onion.—To the deputation of architects who waited upon
him on Wednesday, Lord Palmerston said he was glad to
receive the asenranos that trained men of science and Judg-
ment approved the course which he had felt it his duty to
pursue. Be could excuse the mania in some quarters for
building Gothic habitations in the country, by recollecting
that those might be prompted by the vicinity of the Rhin-
bed= manor-house, which itself was the successor of the
Gothic castle. Bat in regard to those building Gothic
habitations in towns, he felt that they were people who had
notion, which were totally out of data. A public office wee,
in hot, the habitation of the chief and his staff daring the
day, and he (Lord Palmerston) knew of no style so
suitable to an English habitation as the horizontal,
or cheek, or Italian. or whatever name its branches
might have gained. A public building ought to be hand-
atoms externally, while convenient In the interior • and the
'tyro which he preferred undeniably gave buildings which
combined those qualities. He believed that in the erection
of a handsome building the style which he preferred allowed
• reasonable economy to be °heaved internally; the con-
trary with regard to Gothic, bad been practically taught
him at Westminster end elsewhere. He felt that he had
only to repeat the statement made on a previous occasion,
Az., that Do had so strong an objection to the Gothic style
for the present purpose that he should think It his duty, tv
office or otherwise, to proteit against the erection of • build-
ing different from that which be saw gave him such grounds
for selection; he could say, in short, that Iris mind was de-
termined not to have Gothic, but Italian.

FORGERY lIEON Two BANKS, AT MALTON.—TWO
very kopodent, but clever, moos of forgery have Ad been
discovered at Malta, by which the East Riding and the
York City and Cantu Banks have been defrauded of the
sums of 1501. each. The perpetrator of the fraud., is a
young man named Mashy, a resident at Hull, or lately so
and nephew to Mr. Abbey, farmer, of Rilliagton, Dm;
Malta., It appears Horsley formerly resided with his uncle,
and bad become acquainted with tome of his business habits.
On Moad hs seems to have written two letters, in Mr.
Abbey's name, to the managers of the East Riding Bank
and the branch of the York City and Casty Bank at
Milton (which were posted at Rillingtos), approdng them
of his Intention to draw upon them to the amount of 1501.
each, and that the cheque would be presented at each
place by his nephew on the Tuesday. The nephew pcoord-
ingly 'wired at the East Riding Bank and presented the
cheque (a written one on plain stamp), purporting to be
signed by hie uncle, Mr. Abbey. Boras hesitation to pay the
money to a stranger was evinced at the bank, and ultimately
Horsley left for the purpose of getting some one of known
respectability to identify him, and returned with a reepeotable
wins ineramit of the town. Being identified, Horsley re-
ceived the mossy (which he desired to have in notes), a bill
at tee days lose 1001., and 601. In notes, with which be de-
parted. Although the signatures on the cheque and the letter
agreed, the beck manager still felt dimatistled with the
traesection, and he determined to go over to Itlllington by
the tollowing train, and see Mr. Abbey respecting the mat-
ter. Ile did so, and Mr. Abbey knew nothing of either the
cheque or letter. The two returned to Melton, and Mr.
Abby, on inquiry at the City Bank, found that an exactly
stellar trick had been played off there by the same party.
It basin been ascertained that a person answering Horsley 's
description had booked from the Melton station for Hull,
telegraphic messages were despatched, end we understand
