absorbing subject of conversation in the iron districts.
Ninety furnaces .are already damped, and .it is'sajd the
blast will be taken, off the Shotts furnaces this ,clay.
What effeet this will have . on the markets in the Eng-
lish districts time only can show.. At present we
observe 'an increasing indiSposipion. on the part of
English makers to dispose of large quantities of the
raw material. If the great Scotch houses hold out
much longer—and •we ,clq, pot , see how they can do
otherwisethe final result must be an adranee. in; Pig

North arid South Staffordshire, and . atl 'other. iron
districts • for if this abnormal state, of things in
,Seotland is to continue . for a lengthened period,.
Sebtah Pigs will not long remain at the present enhanced
rate of 60s. Another advance in this market of ss.

per. ton would have a great_ effect on the 'general prices
of the raw material in this eountry,iriving to the reduced
state of the stocks in most-: Aistricts,
.;particularly. in
-Middlesboro', where they. ire upwards 'of 100,000 tons,
less than the amount of finished Iron actually on the
oirdcr books of the manufacturers. One thing is certain,

come what may, wakes cannot be advanced with the
present rulinff rates of , Irou and •if the' strike.

,The works in the

contented. The colliers who. gave notice for a rise, after •
the interview with the masters heie. last week, appear,
better satisfied, all having returned to their work at the
old scale of wages., ,Sinee writing the above, we find
that the Monkland ftirndees' have actually.beenblownin

firm, which must be delivered ; andiS the Iron is required
to fulQl them, the firm bad no alternative but to blow
in. This will en no way affect .the other ironma.sters, who
ate one and all more than ever resolved not to give way.
The annual meetings on the joint stock lianki, with one
exception, appear ,to, have given satisfaction to the public,
and the only draWbackto the :general' prosperity, is the
tightening of the: money market, and uneasy forehoding.

THE RUMOURED FRAUDS IN THE
, , BUTTER TRAM. • ,r

A.::special meeting :of the committee of mer-
chants of Cork was held there on. Thursday. last.
The chair was occupied by the president,
Edmund J. Gould, Esq.:
;There were also present—Sir Hackett,
Dr. Lyons; M. Pl, and others. - -
The Chairman:said-r-Gentlemen, ‘this a special
meeting of the-general committee of merchants,
convenedkfor the purpose of consideraing a reso-.
lution of the sub-committee. I a_n very sorry to
,inform yonthat a very-serious fraud has occurred
affecting the honesty and integrity of the
brand of the Committee of Merchants. There
have been several meeting's of thelslib-committee
.
the-,Butter Exchat„o-e-eoneerning this matter.
They have inv. stigated it' very fully, and I believe
the conclusion they have arrived at is, that there
should be a prosecution instituted against some
person or persons. I believe I ought to state to
von what had been..done 'by the sub-committee.
Crowley, the Quay Inspector, informed us
that Mr. William Thornton had shipped on board.
the Dodo steamer, for London, thirty -.firkins of
butter with third quality marks and fictitious
brands.,!.. A meetingwas held on the following
day, and Mr. Thornton informed of the 'statement.
He admitted that eight .firkins- were as reported.
Some, investigation then took place,: and it was
adjourned till the. 3rd of February. We held
a meeting on the 3rd of February, at which
Mr.. Thornton .said he courted the fullest inves-
, tigation. He alleged that the fault occurred
in his . cellar • through some of his servants.
We .had brought before us Mr. Geary, his head
cellar-man; and he admitted that he put.
some of the marks on the C and the-K of the
word `" Cork," that was falsely branded on the
firkins: .We then asked .him who added the
other letters, and the ":1‘1" and " 3 ;" the private-
mark .of the committee. He said he did not do'
thein. Mr. Thornton asked him to state who
did so, and, he stated that it was Mr. Roche
the cooper in the 'employment did it. We
sent for Roche and he denied having done so
at all. After this we asked Geary how it was
that Roche denied what-he said, Roche did, and
the end of it was that Geary gthnitted that
it was he who did it. He f'urtherstated that Mr.
Thornton had no knowledge of the 'matter, and
that he had done it to get the butter shipped that
evening. We then sugrre'sted to Mr. Thornton
to telegraph to London suggested
get these • 30 firkins'
over. He did telegraph, . and. it appears that
the butter, wasi sold. Mr.. Crowley's :.attention
was drawn to this practice some two or three
months : since. • He suspected ; that some! • of
this work was .going on; he watched :and
detected The present- transActien This was at
seven o'clock in the evening. •.Ati impressiox' has
gone abroad that the committee of merchants are
anxious to blink this /natter. SO late, as to-day,
at the Corn Market Board; several of the cauntry
gentlemen were under this impression and. Stated
so, to me. The committee .are on the, contrary
anxious to Show up the fruud,--(hear)—and.:to
punish whoever is guilty. (Hear.), You are net
to74lay,.gentlemen.; for the purpose of Considering
What punishment can be inflicted. Itisfor you
how to state what you think is best to be done.
Mr. Bennett .yesterday utilised' that Mr. Thorn-
ton's clerk should be prosecuted. It is for you to
say whether Mr. Thornton or his clerk should be
prosecuted:
The Law Agent said: that whilst he Was in
Dublin, within the last few .days, the evidence of.
the case was reported..to and he submitted it.l
to two very eniin4it counsel there—one of them
the first criminal practitioner in this country. He.,
had a very full conversation with them ;• and they
woreboth of the same opinion that the present At-
torney-General was of; when he' consulted him.
shortly before on the evidence in a similar instance,
yiz., that although the committee of merchants
were not, frOni their want of a corporate character,
enabled ;tepf6seciite as a body, still any
tion Of their brand, with the view, of deceiving
the public' into the idea that the butter packed
the cask, having that mark or brand, had
been branded by them was a frond punishable at
COmmonlaW, for.whieli any one party found par-
ticipating
either in thevcution of the work, or
n facilitating,the disposal, of the. cask to the
public, was. indictable for a 'conspiraef; with as
many more as,were known, pr._with a person
Or persons. unknown. There pent& be no doubt
that Mr. Thornton's clerk was One , party
to 7 such a conspiracy,

spiring with others. Ho would' advise that.in
that prosecution they would examine ,the cooper
and everybody else in Mr...-ThortiOgt's-establish-
ment, !:n,d jet Mr. Thornton bear the result of that
evidence: If Mr. Thornton7thought fit to tender
hiinself for examination on that prosodution, he
could vindicate. himself by his own. oath. If he
thought'fit not to do so upon being offered the
opportunity, the public would form their opinion.
Nothing would be more grateful tothe committee.
or to himself "than to find that either by the on
dence of himself or others, Mr. Thornton could
purge himself 'of 'suspicion: . It Was only in the
spirit of protecting a great public, interest that,
the prosecutipn was' thought 'of It would at
once give a fiat contradiction to the allega-
tion ,that. any personal motive was mixed up
with; it. Mr.. ThOrnton was found to..be
one of the parties concerned in thattonspiracy,
it 'would be quite ':competent`.. to prOsecute and
Finish him for 'that conspiracy. Since he (Mr.
ennett) consulted counsel' in Dublin, a fact
appeared of which they 'Were not then in pessession
r--,that thebutter had gone to London and been sold
there as second quality, and that' 'Mr. Thornton'
had received the account 'of the sales of it as
;such; and thus, 'Whether he was a participator
in the fraud or not-:---he had_ pocketed the fruits
of the fraud.
Chairnian-r-This Mr. Roche,. the - cooper; on
cross-examination denied having,in this instance,
forged the ;brands, but .said he had on three or
four occasions changed the quality marks, (oh, oh)
which is a very serious thing.
Dr. Lyons—lt appears there is a regular ma-
nufacture going on. . •
Mr. tlare--71toche stated. he had changed the
'quality marks, and put on brands several times.
Mr. Hayes—And had no interest' of hiS own in
'the concern. .
Dr. Lyons—lt is'. the market at large that
would. care for. Here has come out the startling
'fact that this, is not the first, nor perhaps the

five-hundredth time. There must be some sort
of suspicion attached' to Mr: Thornton.

Law Agent—lt lies with Mr. Thornton to
exonerate himself from the suspicion that attaches
to him. We will . give him the opportunity of
dOing so.
It was resolved that the law agent's advice
should be acted upon, and the offender indicted
for a conspiracy to defraud.

TRIAL OF THE BISHOP OF BRECHIN.

On . Tuesday the bishops of the Scottish Episcopal
Church, assembled in Synod at Edinburgh for the pur-
pose of hearing parties in_ the presentment or accusation
against Dr.A. P. Forbes, Bishop of Brechin, for heretical
(oCtrine on thasubject of the Eucharist. The .hearing
lasted all Tuesday, Wednesday, and-Thursday. The
presentment accused the bishop of holding and maintain-
ing and teaching, in a charge delivered to his clergy on
the sth of August, 1857, and since published and repub-
lished by him, doctrines contrary and repugnant to, un-
sanctioned by, and subversive of, certain of the articles of •
religion, and certain parts of the formularies for public
worship used in the Scottish Episcopal Church, in se
far as he taught (1) that" the Eucharistic Sacrifice is
the same substantially with that of the cross ;" (2) that
" sulirenie . adoration is due to the body and blood of
Christ mysteriously present in the gifts, and that the '
worship is due not to the gifts, but to Christ in the
gifts ;" (3) " that 'in 'some sense the wicked do receive
Christ indeed, to their condemnation and loss," whereby
the. doctrines (1) of the oneness of the oblation of
Christ, finished on the cross, of the perfect propitiation
which He there once made, and of the Hilis ly Eucharist
batWY memorial or commemoration'commemoration'Of death and
sacrifice en the cross ; (2) of the non-adoration of the .
sacramental bread and wine, and non-corporeal-pre-
sence of Christ's natural flesh and blood therein, and
(3) " that ' the wicked are in no sense partakers of
Christ," were contradicted and depraved. , Several other
passages in the presentment were also cited as tending
generally to deprave the doctrine of the articles and
formularies, by drawing aside the plain and full mean-
ing thereof. The bishop wits heard at great length
in }dig
.defence, 'his answers forming a large' folio of
236 printed pages, the major part of which he read.
He pleaded that it was not enoUgh for the presenters
to show that the pasOges coMplained of were opposed
to the teaching of-certain prevalent schools of theology
in the English or Scottish Churches, that they were
unsuppirted by the majority of English or Scottish
divines, or, could this be done, even that they were.
without sanction from the formularies of the Church,
and were in themselves erroneous. The presenters were
bound, in a penal proceeding like the present, to show that
the passages complained of , were repugnant to and, 80- .
vetsive, not of this or that interpretation of the Church's
formularies, but or the literal and grammatical sense of
the articles, formulaties, or officts' of the church them-
. , „
selvesi
_an& in. the consiaexatton of this question the re-
spondent was entitled to all the weight which was due to
the deliberate averment that in his whole teaching he
ivishe4,to abide by these formularies, and disclaimed the
leastidention of contradicting or disparaging them in
gay shape er manner whatever. Having made a fall ex-
position of his views on the question. of the Eucharist,
and an elaborate reply-on the points challenged, the bishop
..,
in the course of his concluding remarks, said he might
be allowed to'remind the venerable Synod of one con-
sequence which must inevitably follow a penal con-
demnation of his opinions. From the instant such a
sentence was pronounced, 'the, full communion which
exists between our Church and the Church of England
is at 'an 'end. It is an undthaiable fact that opinions
precisely_ the - same as those Of the respondent are
held and taught by - many hundreds of English
clergymen, some of whom hold' high and responsible
positions -in the Chilich. . No attempt whatever is
made to interfere with them'in any way on that account ;
no attempt ever' has been made, except one, and that
failedy. to the avowed satisfaction even of those who
had no sytnpathy with the opinions themselves. :It--
therocelergyman may be punislied in Scotland fcr
what he, may freely hold and teach- in' Enilinid, it is
Clear that, so far at least. as the clergy are concerned,
different terms of communion practically, exist in the
two churches:: The Rev. Mr. Henderson incumbent of
