BUENOS AYRES.

-
By this arrival we have but little political news.
The resignation of Dr. Vicente Lopez, as
Provi-
sional governor of the province of Buenos 43,res
(says the British Packet), is considered to be a seri.
ous 1098 :-

" Ris venerable age, his unblemished reputation. the
unquestionable patriotism of the author of the National
Anthem, and, we must add, in justice to the fallen, his
mild, paternal, and conciliatory qualities, are qualifica-
tions rarely to be found combined, in so eminent a de-
gree, in the same individual. "His selection by General
Urquiza on the 4th of February to reside
and support
over the des-
tinies of the province, and
lm
hthe coutepn
uniformly dispensed to
chequered administration,
ar _during his short and
e facts that deserve to be
recorded as honourable in the highest degree to both
parties.
"In assuming provisionally the
supreme authority
General Urquiza has given another significant proof and
efficient guarantee of his disinterested
ofthe
views and pa-
triotic conduct, in his choiceindividuals who
w
compose the Council of State, which.vas formally in-
stalled on the 28th, in terms of the decree. Don
Nicholas
Anchorena being appointed president; Don Salvador
Maria Carril, vice-president; and Dr. Eduardo .ah
secretary. The council met on Thursday evening ibn
tte'
we are not aware that anything has transpired as to' the
t
subjects or results of its deliberations.
"It is generally expected, however, that financial
matters must claim an early and preferent attention ._a
subject on which there is much public anxiety, and a
considerable divergence of opinion. According to the
Nacional, the late Provisional Government was prepared
with a sovereign specific in a bank project, strongly re-
sembling in its general features the outlines of a mea-
sure we republished in this journal some two months
ago; which expedient the Cronica as sweepingly con-
demns, and suggests another direct appeal to our ap-
parently inexhaustible California, the National Bank;
whilst the Progresso, with diplomatic caution and exem-
plary forbearance, has hitherto blinked the question.
We are, perhaps, too far committed to be an impartial
umpire; but, in advocating a new emission of paper
money, wo must remind the Cronica of the necessity of
ascertaining the' vital energies' of the institution be-
fore hazarding an experiment, in which our present and
future are so deeply concerned. The National Bank
has oftener than once achieved wonders; and so had
Tam O'Shanter; and yet it is reported that in some lane
of the suburbs an unknown Jorobado' has shorn him
of all his dearly-earned laurels. On one point, however,
we fully coincide with the Cronica, that the present
anxiety and suspense are incalculably prejudicial to com-
mercial and industrial enterprise."
The Hon. Robert C. Schenck had arrived from
the United States as Envoy Exraordinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary on a special mission to the
Argentine Government.
The Oriental Republic had awarded a medal to
General Urquiza as a public acknowledgment of his
services.

Some disturbances had taken place in the provinces
of Santa Fe and Corrientes. Two divisions of the
liberating army had embarked to endeavour to put
them down. It appears that General Juan Pablo
Lopez had headed a movement, the avowed object of
which was to upset the Government of Senor Craspo,
but, after some partial successes in the district of
Rosario, he had been abandoned by his partisans, and,
according to the latest accounts, had retired to the
interior with some fifty followers.
A change of Government had taken piaco in the
province of Tucuman. The Chamber of Representa-
tives had expressed an unqualified vote of thanks to
General Urquiza for the invaluable services he has
rendered the 114:public.
Relative to the excitement and distrust arising
from occurrences that had taken place in several
provinces of the Confederation, the British Packet
adds :

We do not consider them of magnitude to endanger
or frustrate the objects of the National Congress; but
they certainly have paralysed, and we fear, may con-
tinue for a time to paralyse, the national career of com-
mercial enterprise."
COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From the British Packet.)
BUENOS AYRES, JULY 31.—1 n commercial matters
July presents a sorry retrospect. The considerable de-
mand for the interior provinces that characterised some
of the preceding months has received a deplorable check
from the unhappy political excitement manifested in se-
veral of
the provinces, and the consequent indecision of
those engaged in that important department of our na-
tional trade. 11l provided as we know the interior
markets in general to be, the very limited remittances of
the past month are doubly annoying, in view of the con-
siderable supplies actually arrived, and the formidable
announcements, that we must now expect to be pouring
in apace. As some months must necessarily elapse ere
tranquillity and confidence are restored, we are not with-
out serious apprehensions of another glutted market, an
evil too recent to be forgotten or lost sight of by import-
ers, and eventually prejudicial to all parties concerned.
Withal, it is proper to note that during the last few
days purchasers have come forward more freely, and
that very considerable transactions have been effected,
chiefly in the recent importations, both for the interior
and for the local consumption. Present prices, especially
for the great leading articles, can hardly be termed re-
munerative; and whether they are destined to advance
a little, or recede still farther from that important point,
must depend on the course of importation. If heavy
and promiscuous supplies are forced in, holders have no
choice but to continue clearing eff, especially the descrip-
tions adapted to the interior demand. This necessity is
enhanced by the stringent limitation of time for the
payment of our heavy import duties, very injudiciously
adhered to by the Custom house. As things now stand
we cannot compete with Monte Video; and if the pre-
sent policy of high duties and no accommodation as to
time be persisted in, our customers from thu interior
provinces must repair to the rival emporium; a blunder
that may be consummated in a few months, although it
may require years to rectify it.

ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday (Sunday) \
- about ten o'clock, four young men were proceeding
morning,
~ ,
in a lighterman s skiff off Greenwich, when they were upset
by a swamp of an Irish vessel leaving London. Three out
of the four were drowned ; the names of two of them were
William Hutt and Henry Hutt. The names of the others
are unknown. It appears that they had been drinkingr
feeely and were unable to manage the boat, Their bodies
have not been picked up.

of America, proceeded at four P.M. down the Prince's
Channel for Spithead, en route to the Brazils.
Her Majesty s iron screw steam-troop-ship Megsera,

bear that this regulation in respect of boys of the first
class is no longer in force; if a similar boon were
granted to those of the second class, hundreds would
enter the service who cannot do so from their inability
to pay the amount in question.
Her Majesty's ship Hercules, 10, Commander B.
Baynton, fitting at Chatham, has hoisted the pendant,
and is rapidly making good her defects. Her comple-

ANCHOR TRIALS.—The farther series of trials on an-
chors will take place at the Nore on Tuesday next, the
14th inst., instead of to-morrow (Monday), as originally
determined on. This postponement has taken place in
consequence of the London committee having engage-
ments in town which prevent their attendance before
Tuesday.

The Plan of retirement for the paymasters of the Royal
Navy, we hear, will be promulgated on the Ist proximo,
and the new regulations relative to their duties, pay, &c.,

breaking up of her Majesty's ships Tweed, 18 (500
tons), Racer, 12 (431 tons), Seagull, 6 (279 tons), and
Kestrel (200 tons). The Tweed and Racer were launched
at Portsmouth in 1833; the former was built from plans
furnished by the Navy-office, the latter from designs of
the ex-Surveyor of the Navy, Sir W. Symonds. The
Seagull was designed by the late Sir R. Seppings, and
built at Pembroke upwards of twenty years ago. The
Kestrel was built by White at Cowes, for the Earl of
Yarborough, and subsequently purchased by Government.

It has also been decided that the Government shall

the steam-vessels in the mercantile service for carrying
guns, which will be reported by the committee of their
own assistants to the master shipwright, as it has been
resolved that fully qualified official engineers are to be
appointed to examine and report on the state of the en-
gines and boilers of every steam-vessel in the mercan-
tile navy, and their capabilities for service on any emer-
gency.

ANNETTE.—An extremely interesting story ha
just been published with the title of "Annette," under the
auspices of the Hon. Sir T. N. Talfourd. The work has all
the best features of a novel written by a clever man, but
there can be little doubt that no small share of the public
admiration it must excite will be bestowed upon the prefa-
tory memoir of the author (the late W. . F. Deacon), which
has not only the attraction of proceeding from the pen of Sir
T. N. Talfourd, but poetesses the further recommendation of
including two of the most admirable letters ever written by
Sir Walser Scott.

GRAND OPERA.—Verdi's I Lombardi, but in an
incomplete form, has been revived here under its
Parisian title of Jerusalem. The execution of
Jerusalem was not such as to entitle it to a high
degree of favour. The principal characters were en-
trusted to M. Chapuis, M. Depassio, and Mdlle.
Poinsot : the first a promising young tenor,
but quite unequal to the part of Gaston, formerly
filled by Duprez. The other two are respectable
second-rate singers, and executed their roles quite as
well as could have been expected. The chorusses
were less perfect than usual, and the orchestra alone
can be said to have rendered justice to the composer,
who, on the whole, has some right to complain of the
treatment he experienced, seeing the care and atten-
tion bestowed on works of very inferior merit. On
Monday night M. Roger returned from a highly suc-
cessful German tour, and appeared with Massol, who
has also been absent, in Halevy's Juif Errant.
FRANCAIS.—On Saturday Madile. Rachel made
her rcntree here as Monime in Racine's Mithridate,
a tragedy which even her inimitable powers cannot
render anything but tedious. To such of our readers
as may not have seen her in a classic part, we
would recommend Camilla in Horace, and Phedre, in
which she infuses the spirit of real tragedy. We
have had the revival of blue. Ancelot's Marie, a
piece produced for Madlle. Mars when in her aphelion.
Marie is a young girl, who, to save her father from im-
pending ruin, gives her hand to a wealty financier,
while her heart belongs to another. Years elapse, and
when she meets once more her former lover, whose
sentiments remain unchanged, she is still young,
but a widow and a mother ; and the interest consists
in her struggle between her duty to her daughter,
whose fortune her marriage would seriously impair,
and her own feelings. It is needless to say that duty
comes off the victor in the contest. Mlle. Denain
took the part of the great comedian, and although, in
the opinion of some thorough-going partisans of Mlle.
Mars, a great distance subsists between them, yet
many seem to think that the advantages of youth and
beauty ou the part of Mlle. Deuaiu quite cumpeusatu
for her comparative deficiences as an actress. As
for the masculine portions of the cast, the balance is
decidedly in favour of the present performers, and on
the whole this revival is satisfactory.
ODEON.—This theatre has opened its doors for
the season with a drama in four acts, by M. Galoppe
d'Onquaire, Marie de Beaumarchais, imitated from
Goilthe's tragedy of Clasigo. The subject is taken
from one of Beaumarchais' Memoirs, in which he
vindicated the reputation of his sister against the as-
persions of a Spaniard, Clavigo, who, having
promised to become her husband, refused, at
the eleventh hour, to fulfil his engagements, and ca-
lumniated her to justify his conduct. In Goliche's
drama, and the many other '
pieces written on the
subject, as well as in M. D'Onquaires, Clavigois
represented as a monster of treachery, whilst Mdlle.
de Beaumarchais is gifted with every virtue. In
G(:kthe, the play ends with the death of the, parties,
but in Marie remorse on the one hand and affec-
tion on the other,' combine to bring about a far less
tragical denouement the marriage of the calum-
niator with his victim. The success of Marie was
anything but enthusiastic, the malcontents expres-
sing their opinion, at the fall of the curtain, with
unmistakable distinctness. Some modifications have,
however, since taken place, and the piece now goes
on swimmingly.
OPERA NATIONAL...-"This theatre has also com-
menced operations for the season ; its opening piece
being a pretty little opera, composed by M. A. Adam
and written by Messrs. Dennery and Brezil,
called Si f etais Iloi. The plot is founded upon one
of those eastern fables, in which an humble peasant
or fisherman, wishing to be a monarch, suddenly
finds his desires gratified, and is permitted for a
brief !men to enjoy the splendour, and revel in the
luxuries of a throne. In the present case, however,
the hero, a young fisherman, makes good use of the
power placed in his hands, and as his commands are
to be implicitly obeyed, he weds the Princess, whose
life he had previously saved, and who has long
been the secret object of his idolatry. This little
romance, gaily worked up and supported by M.
Adam in his sprightliest vein, his music being
throughout lively, agreeable, and piquant, was
thoroughly and deservedly successful, both the
librettists and maestro having exactly hit the taste
of the public of the Opera National. By a new
and
curious arranment of the director, the princi-
pal characters are filledalternaterepresentations
by different on
thechief performers. Thus, on the opening night

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The market this week has not been so buoyant, and
less business has been doing in shares generally. The
only advances to note are South Francis, from 165/. to
1954, owing to an increased dividend on Monday last,
and the general improvement in the mine. United
Mines have receded to 800/, Mary Ann and Trelawny
are inquired for. Alfred Consols, Allt-y-Crib, Bedford,
Herodsfoot, South Tamar, West Caradon, West Provi-
dence, Wheal Golden, and Tremayne, are stationary at
the last quotation. East Tolgns have advanced from
351. to 451. In Foreign Mines, Linares have advanced
to 3/. 104.; United Mexican on receipt of their dispatches
run up from 3 to si, 6, but were yesterday done at 5 ;
there have also been transactions in Cobre, Grand
Duchy of Baden, St. John del Rey, Imperial Brazilian.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 13, 185'1

L A W TINTTELLIGF N
OF BANICIO; PT- ":Y
(13,4fure Mr. Commissiouer FANE.)
IN RE CROSS.

The bankrupt, Richard Cross, jeweller, of South-
ampton, was brought up to-day from Newgate for
examination. The particulars of his flight and cap-
ture have been made public. It is stated that pro-
perty worth about 1,3001. has been recovered. His
debts are estimated at about 2,1001.
Mr. Taylor appeared for the assignees.
Mr. HuairuniEs, for the bankrupt, said he should
take a preliminary objection to his signing the usual
declaration to the effect that he would truly answer
all questions respecting his property, on the ground
that the answers might criminate himself. Bills had
been already preferred before the grand jury.
The COMMISSIONER said he could not recognise the
right of not answering on that ground in bankruptcy.
If the bankrupt refused to sign the declaration, he
would be committed at once.
Mr. HUMPHRIES (to the bankrupt)--You must
not sign it.
Mr, TAYLOR (presenting the declaration)—Do you
refuse to sign this ? The bankrupt--I do, by the
advice of my solicitor.
The COMMISSIONER—Then he is committed to
custody. Of course, as he is in custody already, it
makes him no worse.
Mr. HUMPHRIES asked that the money found on the
bankrupt might be given up.
The COMMISSIONER said be could only sanction such
amount being given up as would be sufficient for the
support of the bankrupt's family.
The order for his re-committal was then made out,
and the bankrupt was removed in custody.

had been used, and the promise which had been given,
would deter others from promoting similar exhibitions.
With respect to the point of law which had been raised,
the Bench had given it a good deal of consideration,
but their feeling was that the exhibition which had
occurred was of such a nature as made it absolutely,
necessary to extend the fine to all the parties impli-
cated in the business. They would have been most
happy to surmise that no woman would have ven-
tured on such an experiment as this without in some
degree being urged on by her husband ; but, under
all the circumstances, they could not conscien-
tiously exclude Madame Poitevin from the fine
which had been incurred under the Act of Parlia-
ment. The Bench was placed, as he had said before,
in a very peculiar position, and under circumstances
of much responsibility to the public. They would
be very sorry to do anything which might prevent
persons from contributing to the public amusement,
bat they must at the same time bear in mind the
circumstances of this case, and the fact that the pro-
secutor in this business had had a very unpleasant
duty to perform. They had also to bear in mind
that the public had for a very considerable time sanc-
tioned his performance of those daties, which would
otherwise necessarily fall upon private individuals. It
would also be remembered that the law to prevent
cruelty to animals was established in the first in-
stance in the early part of the reign of George IV.,
and was afterwards confirmed and amended in the
reign of William IV., and recently sanctioned by
her present Majesty. All these Acts, he was
happy to say, proved a continual intention on
the part of the Legislature to humanise the people
and a determination that they should no longer be
affronted as they were formerly with horrible exhibi-
tions. It was within his own recollection that cock-
fighting and bull-baiting were the common amuse-
ment of the lower classes, and he remembered well
that these amusements were constantly the scene of
disorder and riot. He need not mention that a good
deal had been effected towards the civilization of man-
kind during the last 50 years, and everything which
they could do to uphold the progress of that civiliza-
tion it was their duty to do. They would not pander
to the lowest tastes of the people by bringing forward
detailed instances of barbarity in this case, and he
was happy to say that the conduct of Mr. Simpson
had enabled them to avoid doing so on the present
occasion, and he hoped that Cremorne would no longer
be celebrated for barbarous exhibitions, like many
other places of amusement for the people. They had
had a difficult case to consider, in deciding how far
they could interfere in this matter without unreason-
ably curtailing the amusement of the people, but they
hoped that their decision would serve the cause of
humanity, without injuring any one. The parties
would each be fined 51. and the costs. He wished it,
however, to be understood that in any future case the
Bench could exercise its discretion as to the infliction
of a fine or three months' imprisonment.
The parties, after a few observations from Mr.
Simpson, paid the fines and retired.

ILFOILD PETTY SESSIONS, Sept. 11.
(Before Mr. W. DAVIS, Chairman, Mr. G. FRY, Mr.
0. Mesurrea, and Mr. MINAUGHTEN.)
Mr. Simpson, the lessee of Cremorne-gardens, if.
Poitevin, the aeronaut, and Madame Poitevin, at-
tended on Saturday before the bench to answer an in-
formation laid against them by Mr. Thomas, of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
charging M. and Madame Poitevin with cruelty to

er, which they took from Cremorne-gardens at-
tacheferdio a balloon, and Mr. Simpson with conniving
at the act, thus rendering himself a party to it.

appeared for the defendants.
AS, who conducted his own case, stated
aripmyeared on behalf of the Society for the
e: Parry
ne tion of Cruelty to Animals, to prosecute in
that
this matter. A course had been suggested by the
Learned Counsel for the defence, via., that Mr. Simp-
son and the other defendants should plead guilty to
the complaint, and consent to pay the full penalty of
51. each, giving,
at the same time, an undertaking
that such exhibitions should not in future be per-
mitted at Cremorne-gardens, and to this he agreed.
He would consent to take the opinion of the magis-
trates with respect to a point raised in favour of
and acti
under the direction of her husband, was
liable to any penalty at all. He did not feel justified
in adopting any other course with respect to the lady
than that of merely mentioning the point, and leaving
it to the magistrates to consider it.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the undertaking, as he
understood it, was that no such ascent should, in
future, be permitted from Cremorne-gardens ; but
they were not the only gardens from which such
ascents might be made.
Mr. PARRY said that the undertaking would be
personal, not to make any such ascents in future.
The CHAIRMAN—If I understand the Learned
Counsel rightly, the promise is not confined to Cre-
morne-gardens, but it is a promise that the parties
themselves will not do this in future. The Bench
will retire to consider.
Mr. PARRY was anxious to say that it was by his
advice, and by Mr. Simpson's own desire, that he
pleaded guilty to this information, and, therefore,
probably the bench would permit him to say one or
two words in mitigation of the conduct of that gentle-
man. Mr. Simpson and M. Poitevin acknowledged
themselves guilty of this act under very peculiar cir-
cumstances, such as had not before occurred since M.
Poitevin_ bad followed his profession as an aeronaut ;
and he might be permitted to say, on behalf of M.
Poitevin, in the first instance, that he had made alto-
gether 550 ascents in France and in this country, and
350 of these had been made with three horses, the
whole of which were now living, and in a satisfactory
condition, as the Bench could see by personal inspec-
tion, if they so desired.
The CHAIRMAN—We have nothing to do with the
horses.
Mr. PARRY---M. Poitevin had also made a great
many ascents with a bull in France, and none of his
ascents with this or any other animal had been at-
tended with any injurious consequences. The ascents
were not made until a commission, appointed by the
magistrates of Paris and the Prefect of Police, had
satisfied themselves by experiment that no danger was
likely to arise to these who ascended or injury to the
animals themselves. Of course tiae cieenaue which
was arrived at in Paris could not guide them upon
that occasion, as in this particular instance M.
Poitevin acknowledged that he had done what was
wrong. Although he would not have pleaded guilty
in the case of any of the ponies, it was beyond all
doubt that the animal taken up on this occasion had
ff whether it was in the act of
comingre d
down,dera
or in the subsequent excitement of the
people who assembled to render assistance, it was im-
possible
to say. M. Poitevin felt that it was impos-
sueconsi considerably—whether
to resist this information, and, therefore, he
threw himself on their consideration, as a foreigner
ignorant of the laws of this country, and as one who
bad only exercis.ed

was, as they knew, the licensee of Cremorne-gardens
—a place of amusement which had always been most
respectably conducted, and against which no com-
plaint had been made until, unfortunately, Mr.
Simpson was induced to enter into an agreement to
allow balloons with animals attached to them to
ascend from the premises. Over these ascents Mr.

Mr. PARRY said he presumed that Mr. Thomas

Mr. THOMAS said that be would concede the fact

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Lewin Yates Coleman, Joseph Gurney, and Henry
Birch, who have been several times examined upon
the charge of having forged and uttered a bill, pur-
porting to be for the acceptance of Coleman and Bat-
tin, of Nicaragua, for 1871. 18s. 9d., were brought
before Sir R. Carden for final examination.
The case having excited a great deal of interest the
justice-room was crowded during the investigation,
which occupied a considerable portion of the day.
Mr. Dearsley, instructed by Mr. Hobler, appeared
for the prosecution; Mr. Bickley appeared for Cole-
man and Gurney, and Mr. Wontner for Birch.
Mr. Dearsley intimated that the prosecutor, having
cause to believe that Birch was not conscious of having
committed any offence, was desirous that a discharge
should take place with respect to that prisoner, whose
evidence might be of importance in the case.
Sir R. CARDEN could not see the conduct of Birch
in that light, and would not listen to the application
put to him in a new character, under existing cir-
cumstances.
Mr. Dearaley at once submitted to the decision of
the Alderman, and proceeded to state the substance
of the additional evidence which he had to produce,
and which was as follows :
Mr. James Allen, clerk in the Royal British Bank,
said—l know Coleman. In June, 1851, he kept an
account at our bank. On the 30th of June, 1851, that
account was overdrawn 6s. Bd. On the 30th of June,
1852, he opened another account in the names of
Coleman and Bottin. Upon that occasion I showed
him the signature-book, and the account was opened
with the sum of 71. I asked him for his signature, and
I also told him it was usual to put the names of part-
ners in firms in the book. He told me that he was
the only person who bad to draw cheques on the ac-
count of Coleman and Bottin. In this bill (the alleged
forged bill) I believe the
thisw ritwinrgitionfg ofthe signature
prisonernat
ureof
CalAman And Bottin to ha
Coleman. I have paid cheques of his. [Llere Mr.
Dearaley handed a bill for 4871. 10s., purporting
to be the acceptance of Coleman and Bottin, of Ni-
caragua, to the witness, who continued his evidence.]
I believe the acceptance to be in the writing of
Coleman.
Mr. Bickley—Did not Mr. Coleman say to you
that his partner was abroad ? Witness—He did not.
Mr. Bickley—Did he not say, when he came to
you, that he was in partnership with a gentleman
who was abroad ? Witness—No.
Mr. Dearsley—What is the balance to the credit of
the account of the firm at your bank now ? Witness
—Two shillings and fourpence.
Mr. Joseph Nethercliff, of St. Martin's-street,
lithographic printer, having looked at the bill for 1871.
18s. 9d. said—l have examined this bill before, and I
have seen writing which I have been told is the pri-
soner Coleman's. Looking at the acceptance, " Cole-
man and Bottin," I say that the writing, " Francis
Bottin and C 0.," as drawers of the bill, is the same
handwriting as that in which " Coleman and Bottin,"
as the acceptors of the bill, is. I look at the bill for
4871. 103. The signatures are precisely the same as
those in the bill for 187/. 18s. 9d., and the bodies of
both bills are in my judgment in one and the same
handwriting.—(Here the witness stated that there
were other similarities between the two bills.)
Mr. BICLLEY submitted that in all that had been
stated by the witnesses there was nothing to sustain
the charge of forgery, whatever suspicion might be
excited that there were grounds for preferring a
charge of conspiracy to defraud against the prisoners.
But the whole case would, upon the trial, be found to
have been got up to prevent a prosecution in another
quarter.
Mr. Wontner, for Birch, declared that his client
was an innocent agent in the case, supposing that
fraud had been intended. It was true he had uttered
the bill, but to whom did he first apply for discount ?
To a money-broker of unquestionable sagacity and
caution, who would be most difficult to be deceived ;
and the second person to whom he offered it was a
solicitor of still sharper intellect, who was the decided
foe of the person principally interested in the nego-
tiation. It was not probable that, with the know-
ledge that the instrument was fabricated, he would
have rushed into the lion's mouth.
Sir R. W. CARDEN said he would not hesitate to
say that there was not sufficient evidence to sustain,
under existing circumstances, the charge of forgery,
but he considered that the evidence of the conspiracy
to defraud was undeniable against the whole three,
and it would be in the option of the counsel for the
prosecution to shape the accusation according to the
additional evidence which he might receive in the in-
terval between the committal and the trial at the
Central Criminal Court. He should therefore com-
mit the three prisoners for having conspired, by means
of a fabricated bill of exchange, to obtain money from
the prosecutor, Elias Isaacs.
The ALDERMAN then read to the prisoners the
usual prefatory words to committal.
Coleman said that be wished merely to state that
he would have upon his trial an opportunity of
proving the grossest case of conspiracy and the
grossest case of villany that bad ever been practised.
The other prisoners said they would reserve their
defence for their trial.
It was again stated upon the part of the prosecu-
tion that there was no disposition at all to proceed
against Birch ; but
Sir R. CARDEN said he certainly considered, look-
ing to the whole evidence, he was bound to commit
Birch with the other two prisoners, and, whatever
arrangements might be made at the trial, he would
act upon that judgment.
The prisoners were then committed for trial, but
the Alderman said be would accept bail.
MARYLEBONE.
John Williams and Edward Harding, a cab-
driver, were charged before Mr. Broughton with
attempting to rob Mr. Joseph Griffiths, a chemist,
residing at 113, Park-street, Regent's-park. It
appeared in evidence that about three o'clock
that morning Mr. Griffiths was on his way home
after spending the evening at the house of a friend
in Torringtou-square, and went into a public -house
at the corner of Munster-street, where he saw
Williams, who, after putting a few questions to him,
asked him to partake of some gin and water with
him, which he did, and paid for himself. When about
to leave the house Williams advised Mr. Griffiths to
have a cab, but he replied he preferred walking home,
and left the house, but had no sooner reached the
bridge at the top of Albany-street than he received a

WORSHIP-STREET.
-William Murray and Frederick Poole, two well-
dressed men, were charged with the following dex-
terous highway robbery :
A gentleman named Cotterill, stated that he was
returning from the West-end, at seven o'clock in the
evening of the 30th ult., and on emerging from the
omnibus in which he had ridden at the corner Of
Bath street, City-road, he suddenly found himself in
the midst of an immense crowd of persons, who had
collected opposite the Eagle Saloon to obtain a gra-
tuitous view of the ascent of one of the Buislays,
swinging to the car of a balloon. While passing
through the mob he saw that he had been singled out
for robbery, for a number of men at once surrounded
him in such a manner as could leave no doubt of
their intentions, and the next instant he telt a sharp
tug at his neck-chain, to which was attached a gold
lever watch of the value of sixteen guineas. He
thrust his hand over the chain to frustrate the thieves,
but found he was too late, quick as he had been, for
the chain was broken, and he distinctly saw his watch,
which had been drawn, unfelt by him, from his waist-
coat-pocket, in the hand of a man close to him.
This man, whom he believed to be the pri-
soner Murray, he attempted to grasp hold of,
but he was baffled by the rest of the gang, who
cleverly hemmed him in on all sides, and when he did
get free from them, by their suddenly dispersing, both
the thief and his plunder were gone. Witness im-
mediately made his way to the police-station to ap-
prise the inspector on duty of the robbery, but he had
scarcely mentioned a word of the purport of his visit
when, to his utter astonishment, an officer extended
his hand to him with a gold watch in it, which he
immediately recognised as his own. He was quite
positive both prisoners formed part of the gang who
surrounded him, and felt almost as positive it was
Murray who had his watch.
Evans, one of the detective officers, said that in
consequence of the number of robberies which inces-
santly took place whenever this kind of ascent oc-
curred, he mixed in the crowd in plain clothes on the
evening in question, and shortly after heard an ex-
clamation of 4, Oh, my watch is gone." though he
could not see the person robbed. He saw both both
Poole and Murray in the crowd, and the next minute
both wormed their way through the bystanders in
great hurry, and tried to get away. Poole did so, but
he succeeded in heading Murray, whom he knew to be
a member of the swell mob, and demanded what he bad
about him. Murray declared that he had nothing
but his own property, and insisted upon being re-
leased, but he held him with one hand while he
searched him with the other, and on discovering the
gold watch in his waistcoat pocket, which be felt sa-
tisfied had been stolen, he took him at once to the
station and charged him upon suspicion of robbery.
The charge had scarcely been taken when the prose-
cutor came in and identified the property as his, and
upon being questioned as to the personal appearance
of the other men who had beset him, gave so accurate
a description of another of his assailants, that he was
convinced it was Poole, who generally " worked"
with Murray, and, upon subsequently tracing and
capturing him, the prosecutor recognised him the
moment he saw him, as also did a journeyman shoe-
maker, named Kinderaley, who witnessed the whole
transaction, and saw one thief pass the watch to the
other directly after it had been stolen.
When called upon for their answers to the charge,
Poole protested that he was as innocent as the child
unborn, and had never seen Murray in his life till he
accidentally met him in the crowd ; and Murray, on
the other hand, assured the magistrate, that having
picked the watch up in the road, he suspected it might
have been dropped, and therefore thrust it into his
pocket, but that otherwise his character was unim-
peachable.

nolnted Cu.'

Unfortunately, however, Brosnan, a constable of
the K division, was in court, and not only identified
Murray as an old acquaintance, whom be bad him-
self had in custody for felony, but also deposed to
being present at the Middlesex Sessions on the 27th
of June, 1849, when he was arraigned for that kind
of offence under the name of Alfred Johnson, and on
conviction was sentenced to a lengthened term of im-
prisonment. Alderman, the gaoler, also intimated
that the last witness bad only given:a part of that pri-
soner's character, as he had known him ever since he
was a boy, knew him to have been always a thief,
and at least convicted three times.

Mr. HAMMILL, on hearing this, considered that the
Assistant-Judge at the sessions would be the most
fitting person to adequately deal with the prisoner
again, and the depositions having been taken by Mr.
Vine, the chief clerk, they were both fully committed
for trial.
