MANSION HOUSE.

TEE ENORMOUS FORGERIES or LEASES.—This after-
noon Luther Yeates, late of Tokenhouse-yard, was placed
at the bar, on remand, charged with forging a number of
leases purporting to be executed by the late Admiral Sir
John West.

Witnesses were examined to prove the signatures to the
fictitious leaves were forgeries.

Mr. Lewis said he now asked his lordship to commit the
prisoner for trial,' although they had only proceeded
against the prisoner for forging the eight leases &fore his
lordship, yet, from what had come to his knowledge, he
believed the prisoner had raised upwards of £lO,OOO by his
forgeries.
The Lord Mayor having given the prisoner the usual
caution, asked him what he had .to say in answer to the
charge ? . . .

Prisoner—l've nothing to say, your lordship.
He, was then fully committed to Newgate for trial.

WESTMINSTER.

BREAKING A JUDGE'S WINDOWS.—Sarah Scott, of 4,
white Hart-court, Windmill-street, described as a servant,
was charged with wilfully breaking windows at the house
of Mr, T. E. P. Lefroy, deputy-judge of the Bloomsbury
County Court. .

Mr. Lefroy, who was accommodated with a seat upon
the magistrates' bench, detailed the particulars of the case.
A suit had been heard before him yesterday at the Blooms-
bury County Court, on which the present defendant, then
plaintiff, sued her late mistress for wages alleged to be due.
Upon the hearing of the case he decided that the plaintiff
had already received more money than she was-entitled to,
and directed a verdict for the defendant. The piesent de-
fendant, when she heard the decision, became so noisy that
he was obliged to have her expelled. On the rising of the
Court he went home to his residence in Eccleston-place.
During the evening some one came to the door, and Mr.
Lefroy was informed that a woman wanted to see him.
He inquired what for, when he was informed
that it was respecting a decision arrived at at the
county court. He sent word that any application
on the subject of business must be made at the court and
not at his residence. She then became very noisy, when he
spoke to her and induced her to go away. In about ten
minutes afterwards he heard the smashing of glass, and the
defendant was pointed out to him as the person who had
hurled a stone through it.

Defendant said she had not had justice done her, and
certainly went to the house to say that she had laid out her
last penny for the hearing of the case, and was merely talk-
ing about her wrongs when she was charged with breaking
the window. A boy broke it to whom she told her story.
A witness was called who clearly proved that the mis-
chief had been done by the defendant, who afterwards ran

away.
Mr. Paynter animadverted in becoming language on de-
fendant's gross misconduct, and ordered her to pay the
amount of damage and 10a. fine.
She was committed for 14 days.

Was talking of a church he had seen in Spain a mile and a
half long. "Bless me I" said Garrick ; " how broad was
it " About ten yards," was the reply. " This is, you'll
observe, gentlemen," said Garrick to the company, " not a
round lie, but differs from his other stories, which are gene-
rally as broad as they are long."

THE .HON. A. 7'. GALT AT THE MAN-
CHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.
A special meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Com•
merce was held this day, for the purpose of hearing the
Hon. Mr. Galt, the late Finance Minister of Canada, upon
the trade and resources of Canada as affected by the present
tariff.
The Mayor occupied the chair.

Mr. GALT, who was most cordially received, entered i ato
an elaborate explanation of his late fiscal policy, and show€ d
that the duties fixed by the Legislature of Canada had bee n
imposed not for the purposes of protection, but for the salt 9
of obtaining a revenue, which was apr lied to the promotiox
of public works, with the view to the opening up and deve.,
lopment of the country, and in the payment of interest on.
the debts of the province incurred by the construction o•f
these works. The late Ministry was, however, endeavour...
ing to reduce the tariff when they resigned owing to their,
defeat on the Militia Bill—a step which had given rise to the
greatest misapprehension on the part of England as touch-.
ing Canada's loyalty. The cost of Canada to England was
very small, and the experiment of self-government should.
be allowed to work out its legitimate results. Then if a sepa
ration were desired by either the mother country or by her
colonies, or both, such separation might be effected with.
mutual good will.

Mr. Galt's speech made a great impression upon the
Chamber, owing to its earnest eloquence.
Mr. Asnwon'm and Mr. MASON complained of Canada
maintaining high duties upon British manufactured goods,
and said that if this policy were maintained it would be bet-
ter that there should be a separation between England and
her British North American possessions.
Mr. FERGUSSON observed that Messrs. Ashworth and
Mason spoke only their own sentiments, and not the
opinion of the Chamber.

Mr. Ross complained of the high duties levied by Canada
on British manufactured articles, but said that Manchester
did not complain of that so much as of the fact that whilst
this high tariff was maintained on the other side against
England, the mother country allowed the Canadians to
send in their corn, &c., free.

Mr. GALT replied, and the proceedings, which lasted up-
wards of two hours, terminated with the usual compliment
to the Chairman.

7HE SUSPECTED MURDER IN ME CITY.

Samuel Gardener and Elizabeth Humbler were placed:at
the bar before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, yes-
terday, on suspicion of having murdered Elizabeth Gar-
diner, by cutting her throat, in his house, No. 1, Nor-
thumberland-alley, Fenchurch•street, on the 15th inst.
Both prisoners appeared to treat the charge with the
greatest indifference.
The first witness examined was Mary Spencer, who said
that on the morning of the 15th the prisoner Gardener
came to her at her lodgings in Back Northumberland-
alley, and told her to come to his house. She did so, and
there she saw the body of the deceased lying on the floor
with a gap in the throat. The female prisoner was crying
and saying what a shocking thing it was, and what a
wicked man Gardener must be to accuse her of having
done it. She, by Gardener's direction, went for the police.
Witness said some time ago she knew that Gardener and
his wife quarrelled in consequence of his familiarities with
Humbler.

Mr. Cowley, surgeon, described the injuries, and said he
was decidedly of opinion that the wound the deceased
woman had on the throat could not have been inflicted by
her own hand.

The Lord Mayor—What sort of an instrument would
have inflicted the wound ?

Witness—The knife that has been shown to me. [The
weapon was here produced. It Was a small white-handled
carving-knife, and exceedingly sharp towards the point.]
The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner Gardiner)—Do you
wish to ask the witness any questions?
Gardiner—No, nothing.

Mobbs, the City police-sergeant, said—The knife pro-
duced was handed to him when ho entered the room. Dr.
Sequeira said the prisoner Gardiner had just taken it from
the deceased's right hand. The female prisoner said, " You
wretch, you are the cause of this." Gardiner said, " What ?
You have done this." Humbler clasped her hands,
and exclaimed, " Oh, my God I" The male prisoner
said he suspected her because he had had intercourse with
her, and she was aware that through a dispute she had to
leave the service of Mrs. Gardiner. Both persons were
given into custody after the inquest was adjourned yester-
day. On the road to the station Gardiner said two or three
times, " I am glad I have been given into custody. I hope
now something will come out."
Both prisoners were remanded.
