E VI4NIN EDITION.

The Rev. Mr. Coles—l should wish Mr. Frost to
have every means of defence ; but we do not know that
you are authorised, especially as Mr. Frost said he
should defend himself.
Mr. Geach—Yes, he said so then ; but I have since
received a letter from him, authorising me. I have not
the letter here, as I received it in Bristol.
After some further observations, the examination re-
sumed—Mr. Frost desired us all to follow him to the
Cefyn. When I got to the road leading to Abercairn,
some of the people went towards Abercairn, and the
others along the tram road. Mr. Frost said that Zo-
phanirth Williams would meet them at the Cefyn with
5,000 men. He said Jones, from Pont-y-pool, was to
Tn'..?et them with about 2,000. I next saw Mr. Frost at
.'ye Corner. On our way down we met a man near
Risca, on a horse, with a lantern in his hand ; it was
near M. Cross's house ; the man desired us to proceed
on, for Mr. Frost was waiting for us with a body of
men. Sonra of the men made remarks of what was the
good of going there without arms, and a person re-
turned an answer that there were plenty of guns,
bayonets, and ammunition there. We came up with Mr.
Frost, and he ordered the guns to the front and the
pikes on next. I ran up to him (Frost) and said, "In
the name of God, what are you going to do—are you
going to attack any person or place ?" Frost said yes
—they were going to attack Newport and take it.
Frost said they would blow down the bridge to stop the
Welsh mail from proceeding to Birmingham. He said
there would be delegates awaiting the arrival of the
mail at Birmingham. They would wait for an hour and
a ha/.f after its time, and if the mail did not arrive for
One hour and a half after its time, it would be a signal
tha t an attack should take place at Birmingham, and
from thence it would spread all through the North of
F4ngland. On hearing this from Mr. Frost, I said to
)'''im, " You might as well lead us all to the slaughter-
house." 1

M:. Gcach here again interrupted. He felt it his
duty to object to a course of evidence irrevelant and
most unfair towards Mr. Frost.
Examination resumed—l told him it was like leading
a lot of lambs to the slaughter-house, and said " For
God's sake desire the men to return to the hills." He
asked me if I thought so, and turned away from me
with a scornful look, as I thought. I tried to escape
all the way down, and shortly afterwards I found an
opportunity of doing so. Ido not know the prisoner.
John Lewis—l keep the Tredegar Arms. I know
the prisoner at the bar. I remember Sunday, the 3d
of November. I saw him about eight o'clock on the
next morning, the 4th inst. There was a rumour that
day that the Chartists were coming dorm. The pri-
soner came into my house. I asked him what he
thought of the Chartists, or what he thought of them
now. I asked him because I understood him to be
a Croartist. He said it was enough !or every man to
min 3 his own business.
'The prisoner here said he was quite innocent.
The Rev. Mr. Coles then said the Magistrates were
unanimously of opinion that he must stand committed
to Monmouth Gaol, on the charge of high treason
and sedition.

The prisoner applied to have an interview with his
wife, which was granted. The Court then adjourned.

ZEPHANIAH WILLIAMS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
A man fully answering the description of Zephaniah
Williams, one of the late Chartist leaders at Newport,
and for whose apprehension a reward of 1001. and
an additionalloo/., was offered making the reward 2001.,
was this morning taken out of the schooner, Vintage of
Bristol, Captain 'Williams, bound to Oporto. Mr.
Stockdale, the superintendent of police, having received
private information that a suspicious character had taken
his passage by this vessel, went on board about 4 A.M.,
tide time, and found him asleep in one of the berths.
There was found upon his person 102 sovereigns, 15
Spanish Dollars, and 700 copper caps. He is now in
strict confinement, and the Major has written to the
authorities at Newport, to send a person over to iden-
tity him.

ONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(THURSDAY EVENING.)
POST.—The English funds were nearly stationary
throughout the day.
In the foreign funds Active Spanish Bonds, with the
overdue coupons,lleft off at 2.58 to 68, Five per Cent.
Portuguese 32 to +, Colombian 303- to 1, and Five per
Cont. Dutch at 978 to B+. The Globe of this evening
Mentions, under the head " Madrid, Nov. 12th," that
the friends of Count Toreno " gave it out, as settled,
that he (Toreno) is to be the new Prime Minister,
which alarmed the capitalists so much that not a single
Cash operation took place for several days." The
Globe is understood to echo the sentiments of Lords
Clarendon and Palmerston ; and if this he the case,
It is to be presumed that Count Toreno's return
to Madrid is not viewed with satisfaction by their
Lordships. The unpopularity of Toreno, even at
d
a is so great, that the bare mention of the
name of the man, as in any way connected with the
ntovernment, has caused the capitalists to close their
the°llhts. Toreno was the Minister who pared down
e foreign debt to two-thirds of its nominal amount,
is-n; the English and French holders of Spanish Stock
"ye suffered by him greatly. The home debt was
Spared, hut still the individual is not trusted, even by
those he has favoured. In the event of Toreno be-
coming once more a Minister of Spain, it will be
curious to see how Lord Clarendon and Lord Palmer-
ton enter into negotiations with him.
A failure has taken place in the City ; it is not,
however, one of any importance. A West India firm
was talked of, but the party whose names have been
mentioned to us are shipbrokers merely in connection
with the West India trade.

A banking establishment at Liverpool is said to have
I,l°PPed payment, and other cases of embarrassment in
at quarter seem to be expected. No particulars have,
goviever, yet reached. us.

THE LATE MR. SIMS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.
SlR,—Your paper of this day containing a statement,
!Itider the head " Money Market and City News," that
it Would appear to be but too true that the late Mr.
Hns was 4, very extensively implicated in the recent
°8
1 'es arising from Spanish Stock transactions," we arc
I:::cluested, as the late Mr. Sims's solicitors, to contra-
'et that statement, for which there is no foundation
whatever and to inform you that there does not appear
Shave been any transaction of the kind in which Mr.
ns was engaged.
We have to beg you will insert this letter in your next
Publication, and we are, Sir, your most obedient. servants,
TEESDALE, SYMES, AND WESTON.
Penchurch-street, Nov. 21.

fromHERA LD.—The accounts which have been received
, the United States to-day have thrown a consider-
4cire gloom over the British and Foreign securities to-
aY• Indeed, such circumstances are almost sufficient
th shake the stability of English securities. For a time,
the credit of the Foreign securities cannot, therefore, be
expected to maintain their ground.
°II the British Stock Market there has been rather
aore disposition to make sales to day ; since for imme-
,4te monetary supply they are the only stocks of the
Consols,
trld that can be realised at a" pinch," excepting under
most extraordinary international circumstances.
••onsols, which closed last evening at 90i. a a Money
'lnd Time, left off this afternoon at 90i a I, Money and
'Count,
b The features of the Foreign Market are not very
right, and the little speculation that has been carried
"in the face of a weak market to-day, evidently has
arisen
in, out of a desire to hedge on the part of the jobbers
and their noodle patrons outside of the house.

SUN.—It is satisfactory to state no further failures
have been talked of this afternoon on 'Change, and that the
princ:pal firm which was placed in difficulties yesterday,
is making arrangements which will be satisfactory to the
claimants upon it. In commercial matters we cannot
quote any material alteration this afternoon. The Tea
Trade remains brisk.
The transactions in the
111°neY Markets have been
of little importance to-day. The Hebrews are specu-
lating in Spanish Stock under the expectation that
Cabrera will not hold. out much longer.
In Consols the last bargains were made to-day at
901 both for Money and Time ; Exchequer Bills
im-
Proved to 1 dis., and India Bonds were done at 3 dig.
Spanish Bonds closed at a fall to 258 ; Portuguese at
328, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 521.
Shares without alteration.

PENNY POSTAGE.—One of the manifold ad_
teantages resulting from a cheap postage will be—.
,facik teaching people the value of money. The saying
,"` " take care of the pence, and the pounds will
ake care of themselves," will henceforth be prac-
tically illustrated; for, when people see how far a
penny will go, they will reflect on the virtues of a
B.r4ereign—being two hundred and forty times as
4.rent as those of a penny. In fact, the moral
l'reet of cheap postage will, in the course of time,
far to convert the adage of " penny wise, pound
foolish,"money
into " penny wise, money wise ;" for as
is not " the root of all evil,' but the source
°f all good—independence—so independence will
eenme the nurse of virtue. In this spirit, we say—
Success to Penny Postage all over the world !
