FRIDAY.

FoRGERM ON Tett BANK.—Elizabeth Book's, aged 43,
was indicted 'for uttering a forged M. Bank of England note,
with intent to defrandthe Governor and. Company of the Bank
of England ,
Mr. Sergeant Bosangnet, in opening the ease to the Jury,
observed that slim was one of those eases in which the prisoner
had persisted to plead not guilty to the major offence. He
was under the necessi y of stating, that if the case wax at all
gone into on the part of the profeention, be could not allow
the prisoner to retract her plea. He sh uld be extremely
happy to hear the prisoner now plead guilty to the minor of-
fence ; but if may witness were examined fur the prosecution,
be could not allow of a retraction.

Mr. Baron Graham then asked the prisoner whether she
were now willing to retract her plea.
The prison[-r expressed her desire to proceed with the
trial.
John White was the first witness called on the part of the
prosecution, and &weed that he 'tied at 23, Alsop's.buililings,
New road, and carried on the business of a grocer. On the
21st of July the prisoner cause r o hi. shop, and bought some
tea, sugar, and soap ;she gave a one poond note, :11111 said bc,
haute was Brookes, of Mai y.street, Fitzroy-square. Witness's
son s d the woman with the goods, and observed at the
'hilt the Bank note was given, that a forged Bank note had
been taken from the sante street tu December last. and he
believed that it was the pri.uner who paid it away. The pri
Router denied this, And then said that she did not live in nay-
street, but in Mary-place. On being still further questioned,
site 1/1441)0Wril the sceond address, and gave her plate of ri si.
deuce " 11, George•street, Filtioy-stintlrer, where her hos"
band kept a large painters shop. She further slated, that she
hod It-It Alary's Place about 4 twelvemonth. Witness !hell
gave the prisoner 11s. Id. in chunge omit of. the note, the
attainder being the prier the tea, sugar, ;and soup, sw•
then went away, and witness desired his sou to follow hi I.
John Whirr, the soil of the last witness, corroborated bi•
fathers testimony, and withal that, when the %%a-
lax ol by him with havihg pia %ion-ly ',wowed a forged It•at ,
• site appeared very much agitated and changed colour. At-
emilit)it It) his fatbers direction, he followed the prisoner.
who, instead ut wing toward!, Fitgio).%tvare, ti tied e‘act.,
the continry way towards Olucester-place„ the New Boad•
prisottert'Arr and walked as fast as she could all the. way,
and ltuked back very taimate. Witness desctibed minutely

tl • track of the prisoner to Lincoln's Inn Fields, •wheres he
was taken in custody by a 51r.Slade whom he knew and
met on the road. He was 'about all ;tour and five minutes
following her.
Cro•s-examined.—He did not observe her throw any thing
from her.
Jolitison,.the police officer, stated that, when brought to the
office, she appeared very much aritated; and, in answer
the question whet': obtained the note, she said that
shehad be.;, an nnfortnnate woman, andhad reetivedthe note
from a gentleman. Upon searching her a good 11. note was
fonnti.
• A witness was then called, who proved that there Was no
such street as George 3treet, Fitzroy-square.
The bank note tendered by the prisoner to Mr. White was
proved to be a forgery in all respects, by Mr. Christmas, In.
~rector of bank notes.
The pri,oo6: said in her defence, that she did not know that
the bank note was 2 forgey pasta When
examined before the magistrate, the good and bad 11. notes
were produced, and the magistrate said, he would sooner
have taken the forged note than tho good one.
The jury, after a short dcliberatior., found a verdict—
Guilty. 0

MISCHIEF AND. DESTRUCTION OF A. MAD DOO.--AbOllt ten
o'clock on Thursday morning, the neighbourhood of Knights.
bridge was thrown into serious and too.weli grounded alarm,
by tae appearance of a mad dog at Hyde Park corner. He
first snapped at horses in the Park ; but at the Piccadilly
gate he too successfully seized Mr. Cross, son of Mr. Cross,
the gate keeper, by the leg, and making his way down on the
right hand side of the Knightsbridge-road, snapped at every
person and. animal he met ; lie fixed npon a Mr. Edwards,
whom he bit severely ; he then attacked Mr. Richardson, of
Hammersmith, whom he fell upon most ferociously, in conse-
quence of his determined resistance with Ina umbrella. This
gentleman escaped, we understand, without any injury to hie
person, although his coat and trowsera were literally torn to
pivies. In the mean time the dog was pitrsned by a labourer,
of the mune of Denford, who overtook him at the coach-stand
at Sloane-street. but unfortnuately missing leis first aim with
a pitchfork, the dog flew at his nude, and made live sleets
incisions. It required the whole is, rength of the poor tnan'a
brother to extricate him, while the courageous snderer dis-
patched the animal. He is now in St. Georges hospital, with
Mr. Edwards and the boy, where they are mideigoing they
extraction of tae bitten parts. Milford (who is an assistant
to his brother, a milkman, at Knightsbridge) deserves the
thanks and liberal eonsideration of the inhabitants and
passengers.
THE SPINNER!.--MANCILESTER, Sept. 13.—With the ex-
ception of a very few persons, we believe the spiiiners are
otter inure following their respective employments I the mills
1/011 being id full motion. Atter sodlong an absence from all
profitable employment, the won knien are cons juiced that they
have neither the right nos the power to dictate, as a toady,
to their employers ; and the latter, we fiiOly believe, are Sill.
cerely disposed, now submission has been made, to pass
oyes the at.empt to take the management of their affairs out
of their own baud-: foi.giving and forgi•tring the hisults they
reeeived dining the turn ont, and the loss which so mrcia

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

LONDON:

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER2I, 1818.

We received the Paris Papers of Wednesday on ca..
turday last.

The last bulletin, respecting the health of the Du-
chess de Berri, was a somewhat favourable one. It
stated, that after several severe attacks, her Royal
Highness had enjoyed some refreshing sleep. We are
happy to find also that the Duke de Bourbon was so
far recovered from his late accident, as to contemplate
a speedy removal to the Boarbori.
The following are extraets:—

" Emus, SEPT. 16.—As soln as the Duchess de
Berri experienced the first symptoms of a premature
labour, she caused a messenger to be dispatched to the
Bishop of Amiens, premier Chaplain to -this Princes•:,
who arrived in time to perform the ceremony of baptism
previously to the death of the royal infant. The ob-
sequies of this Prinec were celebrated on Sunday
evening. The body was deposited in the Royal vault
at St. Denis, by the side of that of Mademoiselle.
"A meeting of many of the Members of the Diplo-
matic Corps was held on the 14::: instant, at the resi-
',enee of the English Ambassadtr. The Duke de Rich-
elieu was present. _

It is confidently reported, Etat the celebrated
Russian Admiral Titschaeow, (although married to a
vary rich English Lady,) intends to quit Great Britain
and to fix his residence in Paris.
" French Funds, Sege. Is.—Five lats. Cents. 75E

Ilan: Stock, 1630 f.
" BRUSSELS, SEPT 13.—Lord Castlereagh set off
this morning for Spa, and from thence he will proceed
to Aixat-Chapelle.
"FRANKFORT, BEET. is said that the Minis-

ter of Baden, M. de Berstett, has been authorised to

treat at Fran:sfigt with Austria and Bavaria, in artier
to put an end to the differences which exist between
the Court of Baden and thuse two Powers."

The French papers, recently so barren of news, sup-
ply us nt last with an occurrence or two of a rather
painful importance We regret to state, that the
Duchess of Berri has -miscarried of a second infant, a
.vale, ',fru only four months pregnancy but her
Royal Ilivhness is, f.rnself, in a fitrotn•nl.le state.—
This is the second time, that thn. Duchess has disap-
pointed the hope of seeing n Bourbon heir'of tie throne.

be Without unpleasant consequences. He was born in
1756.—Ever since the atrocious murder of the Duke
D'Enghein, the existence of the Duke de Bourbon has
been a scene of unvaried melancholy ; and the recent
death of his venerable parent, the Prince de Conde, in
necessitating 'his return to France, did but vary the
objects witholt diminishing the weight of his sorrotv.
The Duke has hitherto declined assuming the title of
his deceased father, modestly declaring that he thought
himself unworthy the honour ef being the last of the
Comics, and that this distinction ought ever to remain
attached to the name ef him who had it long ooni,
mana.Y.l the French nobility in their glorious exer:ions
to defend the cause of the Monarchy.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Sept. 10.—.!
" Four days since a soldier of the Royal Guard on
duty near the Thilleries, was assassinated at midnight.
This vengeance is said not to have been of a private
nature, but an act of represai!! for the attempted
murder of Colonel Dafays. This officer is act of dan--1
ger; he received the day before yesterclay a letter,
covering him with every term of infamy, and conclud.:
ing with " You have had a narrow escape, tOt you
shall fall a victim to it yet " The toloilel was not
willing to surer the Attorney General and the Police
to prosecute the affair.!: " I know full wt,ll the assas-
sins," declared he, " and when I get batter I re-
venge myself" The police has eollectedsonic valuable
information: two individuals, on the day of clic asaasi- '
nation, inquired after the Colonel at his lodgings, and
were seen walking near the house during a considerable
part of the evening.
Letters received from Buenos Ayres state test a
proclamation had been issued on the 21st June, order»
ing all the male population, foreigaiers exceptel, from
the age of 15 to 0, to be enrolled in the militia ; ell
clergymen and friars, natives of Spain, have been
ordered o leave the country, and to embark fur Europe
within two months.

The conquest of the fortress of Wassota, mentioned
in the last details of military operations in India, was
attended by a circumstance of some interest—the release
of two British officers, Messrs. Hunter and Morrison,
cornets in the Madras cavalry, .who were taken prisoners
in the early part of the campaign by some troops belong-
ing to the Peishwa. A report was 'circulated at the
time, that they had been put to death, which excited
general indignation. They appear to have been treated
with the greatest attention and respect, but Aver kept
insuch close confinement, that till the shell thrown
by the invading fbree burst over the roof of their pri-.on,
they neither knew the acme of the place in which they
were detained, or that a British force was in the neigh-
bourhood. As soon as the place surrendered, they
were permitted to show themselves on the walls, and
were greeted by the Europeans of the mortar batteries
with three cheerio.

Lord Castkreagli teas at Carnbray on the 9fh'inst.
on his way to Aix-la-Chapelle. The Due de Richelieu
is also about to repair to the Seat of Royal Con•erencc,
!as Representative of the French King. M. Puzzo di
Barge, has, it appears, been summoned by his Lured:ll
Master, Alexander, to assist him with his counsels at
the Congress. The Moniiertr, noticing the objects of
this meeting of Sovereigns, says, " these are-the same
Sovereigns, the same Ministers, who, after overturning
a foreign despotism, have directed the most liberal re-
forms : who have -excited in the Germans, Italians,
Polanders, and even the French, a new ardour fur li-
berty : who have granted, and still promise, representa-
tive
constitutions; who have founded the Holy Alli-
ance, and established the German Confederation ; and
who are rresently to re-unite at Aix-la-Chapelle."
The Third Report of the Select Connnittee of the
House of Commons on the education of the lower or-
ders has been printed. It affords the grateful intelli-
gence, that the anxiety of the poor for education is not
only unabated, but daily increasing, and extends to
every part of the country. The appendix contains much
useful infcrmatiou, respecting charitable funds connect,
etl with education, and also several public schools and
charities, in which much neglect and 'abuses have been
discovered. In both Eton and Winchester considera-
ble unauthorised deviations have been .n:ade from the
original plans of the founders, dictated more•by a re-
gard for the interests of the Fellows than of the scholars,
who were the main object of the founder's bounty. The
committee, however, acquit the present Fellows of all

THE QUEEN.
Notwithstandine•r' the apparent sameness in the Of E..
cial Bulletins, wellave every reason to believi-, that
the excessive debility to which her Majesty has been
eedueeil is now 'almost Gaily increcsing ; and
tthough some paAliation of the more violent
oms is occasionally produced by the upplication of and.
dynes, and her stret.igth be; in some degree, supper*
by cordial medivines; yet from the pain she sufrers, on
the slightest motion, there is, we Klpreliend, but little
4tntrt Leffher malady (which has latterly manifested
hycfrops, in-all its varieties) proceeds from an unusual
stage of the risce,...t ;...and this, at Her Majesty's .ad.
valited age, precludes, we fz...‘e,,entire y, all hope of her
restoration. A crisis, therefore, and that at no very
distant date, is certainly to be apprehended. Never- • .
theless, 'by the skill of her physicians, by incessant care,
and by the extraordinary means Which have 'awn re-
iorted to, the event may petiklybe procrastinated for
.•
rlsome-time, .elsonid there be .ae recurrrence of spasm.
Yet the situation of Kew is-materially against this pos-
sibility:; .and it is to be regretted that Her Majesty
:.00kAtp her residence there in the first instance, or that
she has not been miler removed. Damp and marshy
situations are, in many constitutions, Rif:icier: of them-
selvelves to produce hydrops ; and a warm dry air is
most indispensable for its cure, escetvin youthful cases;
but the house in which her Majesty resides is situated
on the low grounds, within. a hainchred yards of the
Thames; and, during foureeen hours cut oftlie twenty..
fear, is enveloped in the autumnal exhalations of the
River: to-increaee the evil too, the very chamber in
which she is confined is at the back of the house, and
its windows, with only the intervention of a single row
of elms, open directly upon the water.
The following Bulletins. have been issued .since tour
last :

"Kew Palace. Sept. 14.
" The Queen hat had a good night, but is as well this morning as
sh: was yesterday."
" Kew Palace. Sept. 15.
" Her Majesty gad some good sleep in the early part of last night.
but her rest was broken tow-ids the inorni,ng; the symptoms, how-
ever, do not appear to have been increased..
" Kew Palace, Sept. 16.
.4 Her Majesty has passed a good nigh:, and appears this morning
a little refreshed by her sleep.
• " Kew Palace, Sept. 17.
" The Queen did not rest so well last night as her Majesty did on
the preceding nigh:, and is no: so well to day as on the morning of
yesterday.'

" fifty Pal.acc, Sept.
4• The Queen has had a very bad night, and Her ISlajerity eon-
t:nues very.niuch indi4ustalshumomiag.
•' F. MILLMAN.
• " 11. HA I.FORD."
We regret to state that the accounts of Friday night
were of the most alarming nature. Her Majesty con-
tinued very restless, was evidently in great pain, and
the most serious apprehensions were entertained. The
Rent. and the Princess Augusta, and Duchess of
Gloucester, were as usual in anxious attendance or
thPir Royal Parent, each evincing the most beeaning
solicitude on the afflicting occasion.
Mr. Salter, one of his Alajesty's Messengers,• arrived
at six °clack Saturday morning from Kew, with the
folloWing official Bulletin :

" Kew Palace, Sept. 19.
" The Queen had some good sleep in the latter part of the niett,
but her Majesty is still much indisposed.
• Yesterday the following bulletin was exhibited.

" Kew Palace, Sept. 1.01
" The Queen has not had a good night,.and there is no alteratou
in the quiptorne of Her Majesty's complaint."

6, U. lIALFORP."
" F. MILLMAN.'

It is confidently mentioned, that her Majesty is not
possessed of the immense property the public give her
credit for; on the contrary, it is said that her person:ti
property almost altogether tomtits of jewels. Tlici.e
are several highly pleasing and interesting anecdotes in
circulation relative to her Majesty's giving considera-
ble sums of money privately to deserving objects. Their
Majesties, it is supposed, arc the only instance in the
United Kingdom, of a man and his wife having been
married above filly-•ix years, with twelve children
living, the youngest of whom is forty years of age.
The Archduke Michael and his suite were not ea-
ceived everywhere with the same graciousness. On
application to an eminent manufactory in. this country,
for permission to see the works, one 'of the partner!,
with the true surliness of John Bull, said, that he was
very willipg to admit the Prince himself, but he did
not chose to extend his permission to his followers,
who were probably, he said, some of them machinists or
draughtsmen, disguised as ulblemea,- and sent here for
the iairpose of copying our most valuable inventions
and ntachinery. Such things, he said, had occurred
