THE IXTRAORDINIZI JILL FOROBRIES.

At the Joslice-room of the Mansion-house, yes-
terday afternoon, the three foreigners, Seigmund Stric.
veer. Gustave Steven, and George Kunaka, were brought
before Aldei man Allen, for further examination on •
charge of forging and uttaringnumereus bills of exchange
for various amounts, and evidence was given showing the
wholesale way in which paper of this description was
fabricated._ _ . .

---rrinat deal of interest has been exalted in the cam
owing to the large number of manufactured bills put in
circulation by the prisoners, and it appears that in some
instances the name of the alderman before whom the
matter is being investigated has been forged on some of
the Dille. It will be remembered that Striatur and the
other two prisoners, together with• person named Adolph
tioldstandt, were appothandud in an office in Nicholas-
laws, in the very act of filling up bleak forms of bills, and
there were in the office no fewer than dt dice or stamps
of different Anus. Goldstanilt was releasod; and has
been examined as a witness for the prosecution, which
is being conducted by the City Solicitor.
Clerks from the following banks, at which the bills were
made payable, were called to prove that they bad no such
customers as the acceptors of the bills:—Laudon and
County Bank; Unice Bank; Metropolitan Bank. Corn-
bill; Barclay and Bevan's Bank; Smith. l'ayno. and
Smith's Bask; Steven and Co. • Bank; the Alliance
Back; Fast London Bank, Curnhill Glyn, Mills, and
Co.'s dank; the Consolidated Bank, ThreadneQle-ittreet ;
and the Rational Bank of Scotland, Nichols Amor.

Yarmouth hors the bug Esther, of Jersey, which was lost
on the Newccms Band on Thursday night; the crew were
ph keit up ty a French schooner. On Thursday the
addle steamer City of Hamburg. belonging to the
general Fteam Navigation Company, which left the
Thames on Wednesday afternoon, struck on the dangerous
"North" Sand. neut.:rest Yarmouth pier. The steamer
being chore to the north side of the pier, the passeagere
and crew seeped by pseeng on to the pier: the ina-tcr,
Captain Bii,hop, declined to leave the steamer, which was
warped off yesterday Dimling, and brought into the
harbour, having sustained some damage and shipped a
good deed of water. The accident was attributable to the
extraordinary lowness of the tide. The schooner William,
et (treat Yarmouth, Captain 'toaster, which left (treat
Yarmouth for the ninth some three weak, back, has not
since been hoard of, and it is feared that all halide have
perished. On Thursday afternoon a fishing lugger ran
into the brigaatine lon, of tihielde, which was lying at
anchor in Great Yarmouth roads. The crew of the lugger
got on board the lon ; the latter, however, unfortunately
parted from her anchors, and drove ashore. The surf
lifeboat stationed at Yarmouth wee launched, sail suc-
ceeded in rescuing both crews.

THE A I.LEOED MURDER IN THE BOROUGH.—
Teßterday Yr. W. J. Payne, the deputy coroner few
&man ark, resumed and concluded the inquiry into the
death of Philip Coulen. The laets previouoly showed a
grave OW of suspicion, but the evidence has nut justified
that assumption. It now turns out that the deceased was;
a potroan, that be had been drinking, and warn in the corn.

lie was seen at Whitechapel as late as 12.36, and found in
the river at 2.46. How, when, or where he loot his silver
watch and small Albert chain does not appear ; but throe
of the girls who saw him on the evening before he warn
found in the river gave evidence in a very satisfactory
manner of their knowledge of him. After a lengthened
inquiry the jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned,
but under what circumstances the deceased gut into the
water there was no evidence to show." Inspector Boson,
of the Id Division, who has charge of the case, said the
police inqsairiem would not be slackened, to trace the matter
to the uttermost.

A HUGE RoßßEßT.—Early in the morning of
the 29th ult., the counting-house of the Itowsendalc Print-
works, at lloweetenstall, near Bacup, in Lancashire, was
broken open and robbed, the thieves obtaining 64. in
gold, silver, and copper money. The plunder consisted of
60 sovereigns, 100 half-sovereigns, .W. in silver, and It.
in copper, with all of which the depredators got clear
off. On ilse information given two men, suspected ilia-
ratters, were taken into ell:lode by the county police.
and on searching them about 21)1W. was Mewl. N.A.11.4- of
the rethery wee coneersl to Liverpool, and officers
(itolom, Jones, and Scaife, of the detective fume, were
i attested with the investigation of the came.
The result of their immix les led them to visit
a newly-epened beer-house in St. Vincent-street, Liver-
pool, and there, at about eleven o'cli.ek ou Wed-
nesday eight, they took into custody the landlord, Joseph
Hayes, who was suspected of being concerned in the
Itoweeedale burglary. Having taken care to 'secure their
men, they proceeded to examine the premises. These
they found to be entirely newly furnished, including also
four Lan els of beer, which had been paid for. On prose.
eutiug their 4.4 arch they found on the premises gold and
paver watches, rings, and chains, to the value of fully
Will. They found and took poweivion of CV iu cin,l%
wheili bad been secreted in a drawer. Hayes, it turns
out, it a returned convict, he having been in penal servi-
tude fur a i °redder:dile is•riod. In the coarse of last sum-
mer he was apprehended in Rock Ferry Gardens on a
charge of picking the pocket of a lady with whom he WRY
dancing. For this OfTlllll3 he was tied at the Chester
Quarter Sussionst and, being convicted, was sentenced
to three mouths' imprimaiment.
BoIIBAY, IlAltol)A, ANL) CENTUAL INOL\ RAIL-
WAV.—The report of the directors states that the total
amount received nu ourisoliditted stn k, shame. and ilehen-
tints to the :loth June last, was 7,112.7134, of which
101,9141. was received in the half-year. The total expo*.
ditto to the rime pet iod in England and India amounted
to 7,24d,701)1. The grow revenue recuiptc for the half-year
earned ever the sante mileage its in the currespitedieg
period of ltei7 amounted to 2•52,0.56 L, us compared with
21.4.614 d., and showed a decrease of 12,6101., of which
3,ll.2turehe under the Lend of pawierigers,parc.le,ke.; and
9,4Ltii. under that of merchandise, live stock, and misoul.
immune receipts. With regard to the pass,nger4, them
unman inerume in the 11.411111C1N carried of the let nod '-'lid
diesel 662 slid 6,194 respectively, but owing partly tit the
reduction in the fares, the hat class receipts showed a de-
crease of 2981., and the 2nel class an increase of only 5971.
Ile avers (c. mileage distance travelled by let class pas-
senger- tLowed a decrease from 72.74 in 1667 to 64.40 In
18644, which of course was also an element in the money
decreaie. The falling off in the 3rd chute passenger% but
in numbers and receipts, was no doubt attributable to the
gents n 1 di prescion and inactivity following epon the ex-
trent dimity inflation and collapse of commercial specula-
tion in Simi ay iu the last two or three years. This traMe
per mile of railway compared favourably, however, with
that en the other Indian lines, and the gusting fare of Id.
per mile practically secured the traffic of the districts
served by thin line. In the merchandise truffle, the falling
off arose principally in cotton and grain. The half-year's
receipts, though actually his in amount, bald increased
pertrain mile from 10e. 3•17d.t0 10s. it '2l9d.,ia consequence
of the reduction which was effected in the train mileage to
the extent of 60,102 miles. The gross expenses
amounted to 151421710 which was a reduction of 5,271/.
on three of the corresponding period. The not revenue
amounted to 118,8381. DU. 10d., which compared with
106,178/. Bs. 441. in the corresponding period of 1867. But
boon this was deducted the 27,6004 as a spatial nerve for
fraemg.
