CURIOUS FORGERY.

• ORIGIN or NEWSPAPERS.—Since the year
1794, when Mr. Chalmers published his " Life of
Ruddiman," it has been very generally believed
that, a Newspaper, called the English Mercurie,
written and published by the orders of Lord Bur-
leigh in 1558, the period of the invasion of Eng-
land by the Armada, was the first newspaper which
ever existed. In late times this opinion has received
extensive circulation from having been adopted in
a great number of popular works. Nor has it been
I confined to . England. Several Encyclopmdias
and Conversation Lexicons, published abroad, have
repeated it. By a little publication, entitled, " A
Letter to A. Panizzi, Esq." by Thomas Watts, of
the British Museum, this opinion, after being current
for 40 years, is proved to be wholly without foun-
dation. The authority on which it was believed
was that of IVIr. Chalmers, and he stated it after
inspecting some copies of the Mercuric, which arc
preserved in the British Museum. On the 4th in-
stant, however, Mr. Watts *was induced to refer
to the .‘ English Mercuric," and before he had ex-
amized it two minutes, he was forced to conclude
that. it was altogether a forgery. Further inspec-
tion satisfied him, and satisfied all the officers of the
Altmeum, and every person who has since seen it,
that. the whole of the English Mercuric, of which
there are five numbers in the Museum, printed and in
m,rnuscriPt, are. forgeries. The letter, of which the
ol3ject is to lay the proofs of the forgery, and the
conjeTtures by whom it was committed before the
pub ric, establishes beyond a doubt, the spurious-
neFis of this pretended newspaper ; and that it was
forged in the eighteenth century. One proof will
s.uffice. One of the manuscripts from which a
copy is printed, bears the water mark of the Royal
arms, with the initials G. R. By whom this ex-
traordinary document was forged, and for what pur-
pose, is as yet wholly unexplained. Chatterton,
George Stevcus,.and W. Rufus Chetwood, are men-
tioned as the possible authors, but no motive, except
the love of fun or mischief, is assigned as the
cause of the forgery. More singular still is it that
this palpable forgery should have remained sa long
ura-Lteeted. Hundreds:of authors, many of them
;living in London, have repeated Mr. Chalmers
tatement, and not one appears to have ascertained
if It were justified. One would suppose even that
this extraordinary document could never have been
opened by any librarian or officer of the Museum.
Examples are by no means wanting of many similar
literary frauds; but repetitions of such forgeries con-
tinuing undetected so long, and finally detected, are
enough to throw disciedit on the greater part of what
is called history. When such things occur under
our eves, with all the help of modern publicity, who
will venture to answer for the authenticity of any
documents more than a thousand years old ?

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

RISHTON V. COBB.

The LORD CHANCELLOR` gave to-day
is case, in which the question was whether a lady was

entitled, under the will of a testator, to two legacies, one
of 5001., and the other of 2,000/. It appeared that
the testator left the lady, for whom he had a great af-
fection, the legacies in question, under the supposition
that she was unmarried. It turned out that the lady

was married, but had left her husband ; and the ques-
tion under those circumstances was, whether the lega-
cies took effect. Upon the case being brought before
his Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, he was clearly of
opinion that the lady was entitled to the money ; the
parties appealed from that decision, and upon that ap-
peal the Court now gave judgment. His Lordship was
of opinion that the judgment of the Court below was
correct, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
The Court then proceeded to hear appeal motions,
this being the third Seal after Term.

'were moderate. Very little business transacted—prices firm.
Linseed 38s. to 403. per quarter ; and Rapeseed 311. per last.
TALLOW MARKET.
There -were few purchasers of Tallow either for delivery or

WORKING MEN AND THE CORN-LAWS.—
We put it to the working men themselves :—Are you
content to starve yourselves and see your wives and
families starving around you, when you hare the power
of relieving your wants within your reach ? Are you
content to see your customers drop off one by one, and
going into other markets for those goods with which you
have been in the habit of supplying them, when you
can, by a united effort, secure their custom in spite of
all competition ? or do you prefer pursuing a measure
which you cannot obtain for years, and the beneficial
effects of which, even when obtained, would be years in
being experienced? Are you willingto distinguish between
facts and fancies ? On the one hand, you have dear bread,
little work, and low wages, with the certainty of obtain-
ing cheap bread and plenty of work, with fair wages,
if you will bestir yourselves ; on the other, you have a
bugbear of political power held out to you, which you
will not obtain until the possession of it is not worth
having. Your enemies rejoice to see this division
among you, hut we have hopes their triumph will be of
short duration. The working men of Sheffield have
set an example,—if not of perfect union in seeking a
repeal,—of being perfectly awake to the miseries which
the Corn-laws have inflicted upon them, (the dissen-
tients only holding out because they have no hope of
relief from the present House of Commons,) which
example we hope will be followed by other towns. If
the middle and working classes go boldly hand in hand
to the door of the House of Commons and demand a
total repeal of the Corn-laws, the monopolists dare not
refuse to hear and relieve thau.—Shclfield Iris.

One day last week, a vessel appeared off Cromer
in a state of distress, when the beachmen, 14 in number,
manned a large boat and went off to her assistance.
The sea was very rough at the time, but after some
difficulty they succeeded in boarding her, when to their
su.prisc they found not a single hand on board. Sipe
was a foreign ship deeply laden with barley, and was
taken into Blakeney harbour. It is conjectured that
she had struck upon a sand-bank and been abandoned by
her crew, but afterwards floated.--Norfolk Chronicle.

REPEAL OF THE UNION.

O'CONNELL AND SHARMAN CRAWFORD.
The following letter appears in the Pilot of
this evening :-
4. TO THE NATIONAL TRADES' POLITICAL
UNION.
" Derrynane Abbey, Oct. 18, 1839.
.1' Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not,
Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow ?"
4, Friends and Brothers,—You have anticipated
my justification for not having published my second
letter on Repeal' within the time I originally in-
tended. That justification is to be found in the
expectation of Mr. Sharman Crawford's reply to
your address to him. It was incumbent on me to
wait for that reply. I expected that he would take
one of two courses—either candidly admit that
events had now convinced him of the necessity of
Repeal,' or decidedly and manfully object to any
alteration of the centralisation principle of the

bad that Mr. Crawford, who was invited and urged
to assist us, should now assail the honoured dead,'
and suggest a damper on future exertion, by tra-
ducing the honest and useful efforts of the Pre-
cursors.
" But these are, after all, the buckram and
stay-tape' of the controversy. I introduce these
topics into this letter in order to clear my way, and
to continue my next publication to the only really
important point—' the Repeal.'
" Let us, in the meantime, conjure Mr. Crawford
to reflect, that it was dissension, and jealousies, and
utter want of combination, that struck our lovely
and loved land from her station among the nations
of the earth. There has been always an unhappy
disposition prevalent to overvalue other countries,
and the men of other lands, and to undervalue
Ireland and Irishmen. But that fatal spirit is pas-
sing away, or at least is counteracted by the increas-
ing multitudes of persons devoted, heart and head,
to the weal of Ireland—devoid of crotchets, and
free from self-conceit, hut, with the true feeling of
Irish manliness and cordiality, resolved that their
fatherland shall not suffer from the insulting oppres-
sion or the bigoted hostility of any other country on
the face of the earth.

" Courage and constancy in this struggle are
alone necessary. The heart and soul of Ireland
are with us. Our combination will be deliberate,
peaceable, legal, and constitutionr.l. We are re-
fused justice—Crawford himself admits it. What
pitiful puling is it to live only in order to entreat
and implore, and crouch and endure ! No ; the
Imperial Legislature not only refuses, but is actually
organized and strengthened to refuse us justice.
Poor and paltry is the creature who can bear this
and know this, and not at least struggle for happy
homes and altars free.'

" My next letter will follow this with all conve-
nient speed. Others may desert Ireland and her
cause ; but for me, her name and ' Repeal' are
written on my heart. Her sufferings—the desertion
of some of her sons—render her only more painfully
dear to me—

" More dear in thy gloom, in thy corrows and showers,

Than the rest of the world in its sunniest hours.'
" I have the honour to be your faithful servant,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL."

government the lie should not be practically given to this
profession. It is true that policy may be modified, and
the manner of conducting it considerably influenced,
by the genius and temper of the times. This may
be done honestly and openly, though great caution
should be observed, lest the substance of sound polies.
should be thus invaded upon. But as to a Government
actually in conformity with the fluctuation of the popu-
lar will—a government of the people by the people--
the thing is as impossible as that a body should be at
rest and in motion at one and the same time. What_
ever Government, therefore, professes this doctrine must
inevitably act a lie. The nature of men and of things

London, England, 1839-10-24

The half.yearly general meeting of the Proprietors
of the above Company took place yesterday at the
King's Arms Tavern, Mile-end-road. At half-past two
o'clock the Chair was taken by James Goldie, Esq.,
who, the notice for convening the meeting having been
read, called on the Solicitor (a gentleman of the firm of
Brown, Marten, and Thomas, Mincing-lane) to read the
Report, which set forth the following statements :
" The Directors had convened that meeting in accord- I
ance with the provisions of the deed of settlement,
which provided that they should appoint some day in
the month of October of every year, upon which the
proprietors should meet together and hold a half-
yearly general meeting. It might appear inexpedient
to have convened the Proprietors so shortly after
the special, general meeting, when the state of the
affairs of the Company was disclosed to the Pro-
prietors, especially as the deed, notwithstanding
the provision just alluded to, empowers the Direc-
tors to appoint some other time for holding it. The
Directors, however, upon consideration had thought it
better to convene the meeting as usual, feeling that the
more frequently the affairs of the Company were exhi-
bited to the Proprietors the more satisfactory would it be
to themselves as well as to the Proprietors, the Directors
being also desirous to give the Proprietors every oppor-
tunity of inquiring as to the progress and prospects of
the Company. The Directory had great satisfaction in
stating that since they had last met contracts had been
entered into for the roof of the retort-house, the gas-
holder, retorts, and beds, and the tank. With re-
ference to the contracts for the roof of the retort-
house, the gas-bolder, retorts, and beds, the several
contractors were bound by their contracts to complete
them within a given time. The tank had been com-
pleted. They had also contracted for a quantity of
pipes, sufficient for the supply of a considerable dis-
' trict, which the Directors expect will forthwith be
upon the ground. The Directors had also entered into
a contract for the erection of a substantial brick wall for
the enclosure of the ground, which has nearly been com-
pleted. The Directors, on passing from the subject
of the progress of the works, congratulated the Proprie-
tary on account of the very low sums at which all the
contracts had been taken, and of the workmanlike and
satisfactory manner in which they had been executed.
The Directors had reason to believe that when the
works should be completed they would be erected at
a much less cost than any other works of a similar
description in the metropolis, or in any other part of
the kingdom. The greatest difficulties which the D:-
rectors had to encounter, and which still presented
themselves, arose from the hesitation of the authorities
in several portions of the district with regard to per-
mitting the laying down of pipes. The Directors had
made unceasing efforts to obtain the proper licences,
and after much exertion they had succeded in obtaining
permission from the Shadwell, Lituchouse, and Beth-
nal-green parishes, and though they had met with con-

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—Th e review of the troops
2,tati?ned here, which was expected to take place to-
day in the Home Park, was put off until to-morrow.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE GRA"

REVIEW BY HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVE NING.--Cons.l, -16
disappointment was experienced to day
in conse,quen
ce
of the Grand Review, which was announced to talc:
place this morning, not com ng off. The i4t
ow
Light Dragoons (who arrived frpm Hounsl
about noon), the 2d Life Guards, and the
Brigade, 2(1
Rifle B • de, took up their positions in the Herne
Park shortly after 12 o'clock, and soon after-
wards the three regiments formed into line to receive
her Majesty, who was then momentarily expected, with
the two Princes, Ernest and Albert of Saxe-Cobourg,P
and accompanied by a numerous retinue on horseback
and in carriages. A messenger, however, from the
Castle arrived on the ground a little before el'
o'clock, when it was communicated to the Colonel'
of the respective regiments, that the very unfr
vourable state of the weather (a drizzling rf
at this time having set in) would prevent tle
Queen appearing on the ground on horsehoe
as her Majesty intended, and was most desirons
of doing ; and that, therefore, the review would 11
postponed till the same hour to-morrow. The seco e
Life Guards and Rifle Brigade immediately marched ta
their barracks, and the 14th Dragoons proceeded
Hounslow, with orders to be on the g"en,
to-morrow shortly after twelve o'clock. The. the
trances to the Park were thrown open t'' =„a
public (tickets of admission upon this occasion h.avi;
been dispensed with), and several hundreds of perrip
who were present, and many from London and 611_111"
bouring towns, returned home greatly disappoint; to
We arc most happy to state (although a rutrw' r.
the contrary was very prevalent in Windsor this afted
noon) that her Majesty is in most excellent health, be
that the state of the weather was the only cause elf t
postponement of the review.

Notwithstanding immense losses, the fleet con-
sisted, at the accession of GEdnet HI., of 4U
ettels or greatly improved build, of which 127
were ships of the line. The number of seamen
and marines was then 70,000. Subsequently,
the number of seamen has been often increased
to 120,000, as in the years 1797; 1798, 1799, and
1800, for example. In 1801 this number *as
increased to 835,000. In the be,,oinning of 180,
from which period we date the Beeline of our Navy,
our fleet consisted of 040 vessels of all sizes, of
which 115 were ships of the line.
According to the official return, published by Sir
JOHN BARROW, dated December 18.38, the
tish fleet at present corigiSts of 236 vessels of all
elas.set, ineluding steamers, Post. Office packets, and
27 on the stocks. Of this number 90 are ships of
the line ; but it is admitted on all side.: that Baldly
more than one-half of them can by any process be
made sea-worthy.

We have thus endeavoured. to bring before our
readers at a glance, the actual state of our Navy at
certain fixed periods since Parliament first charged
itself with the maintenance of our dignity as a lead-
ing Naval Power. Proper reflections upon it will
readily suggest themselves to every man of any in-
formation. Has our Navy kept pace with the
growth of our commerce ? Do we not actua!ly
seem as if we had allowed it, from the finest in the

world, to dwindle away, so as to be hardly " the
shadow of a shade" of what it was ? And this,
too, at a period when other nations have betaken
themselves to the rearing of marine arma-
ments for the avowed purpose of checking our
dominion on the waves. Nay, it is even worse than
this; for as the Duke of WELLINGTON observed
i❑ the House of Peers last night, we are going on
with what our penny-wise-and-pound-foolish eco-
nomists call a "peace establishment," whsle we are
actually at war in Canada, Persia, and we may
almost add, in Spain. And with such a state of
things staring them in the face our patriotic Peers
indulge nightly in dock-yard squabbles about a feW
spars and old sail cloths ; and our Itepicsentatives
are content to listen to the bandying of abuse be-
tween Whig and Tor), Lords arne ex-Lords, Secre-
taries and ex-Secretaries of the Admiralty I
