FICTITIOUS CHECKS.

Some simpleton has been in the habit of dropping died:
and orders for money in the streets at night. Two of these
within three weeks, having fortunately fralen into good hand
have been immediately taken to Messrr.. Hoare, the bankers, i
Fleet-street, on whom they were drawn, and at once pre
nounced to be of no value. It Is not improbable that mono
might have be2u r;.ised on either of them, as they bear rath(
a busir.e;s-like appearance. The following is a copy of
letter picked up in the Strand on Wednesday night, on tb'
ily•leat of which the check was written

" My dear Son—Understanding from Sir George Free
mantle that you arc at present in want of money, I hay
written on the other. side a check fur two hundted pound::

COMPANY.

This was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor,
whereby his Honour dismissed an information filed for the pur-
pose of abating an alleged nuisance. The Company had ob-
tained permission under an Act of Parliament to build a
bridge or viaduct over Kirkgate-street, in the town of Wake-
field, of a specified height, on condition that the then width
of the street should be maintained. The complaint made by
the information was, that the width of the street had been con-
tracted by the erection of the piers to support the viaduct
which was to be constructed, which formed a nuisance detri-
mental to the inhabitants of the town of Wakefield, and
to all her Majesty's subjects passing through the place.
The information concluded by praying an injunction to re-
strain further proceeding with the work ; and, also, to abate
the nuisance by mandatory injunction as far as it at present
existed.
Mr. WAKEFIELD, Mr. JACOB, and Mr. BETHELL appeared
for the Crown, and contended that the Act of Parliament was
express, and must be complied with. The former width of
the street had been thirty-four feet, and it was now reduced
to thirty. It was impossible to say this was not an injury to
the town, and a nuisance to the inhabitants. The Vice-
Chancellor had said that the injury was too trifling to be re-
garded ; and though the strict letter of the Act had been
violated, the road and also the footpaths were equally com-
modious as before. It had been suggested that a remedy
might be had by indictment, but the Act itself had defined the
nuisance, and the greater or less amount of injury would not
determine the Court. _

Mr. K. BRUCE and Mr. BACON, on the part of the Company,
stated that there had been long acquiescence on the part of
the inhabitants of Wakefield, and also by the Commissioners
appointed under a local act to preserve the road and footways
of the town. The works had been proceeding ever since April,
and were open to the inspection of all respectable persons.
The Company were of opinion they had a legal right to pro-
ceed as they had done, and they were ready to try the ques-
tion in a court of law.
The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated, that if the Company
would accede to the terms he should propose, he would not
interfere by injunction. He thought the best course would
be that an action should be brought against one of the rela-
tors for pulling down the erections made by the Company, and
that the fact should be admitted in order to try the question.
If then the Company would undertake to remove all buildings
on or over any part of the street, or otherwise to deal
with them as the Court should direct after trial of the
legal right, he would not grant any injunction to restrain their
proceedings.
Mr. K. BRUCE, for the Company, submitted to these terms,
and it was then agreed the action should be tried in London—
such an action to be brought in the Court of Queen's Bench
as would raise the disputed points.

MARYLEBONE-(THIS DAY.)

A Prussian, named Lunsch, was placed at the bar, before
Mr. HosKiNs. charged with having stolen two valuable pistols
from Elvis Wache, a fellow-countryman, with whom he rp
sided.

Wache, having been sworn, stated that he became ac-
quainted with the prisoner about three weeks ago, and in con-
sequence of his being much distressed at the time, he allowed
him to sleep in his lodgings. When he returned home last
night he found two pistols, which were the property of his
master, the Count Taaffe, had been stolen. From informa-
tion which he received he went to the house of a German
named Henry Epping, residing in Portland-street, Soho, who
told him he had lent the prisoner 31., and received the pistols
as a deposit.
_ _

A constable stated he arrested Lunsch this 'morning, on
board the Harlequin Hamburgh steamer, and when searched
he found seven counterfeit sovereigns in his pocket, with 21.
ss. in good coin.
The prisoner, through an intepreter, said he purchased the
seven medals, which the policeman called sovereigns, for 6d.
in Regent-street ; and acknowledged that he had taken the
pistols from Wache, but said it was with the intention of re-
turning them.—He was fully committed for trial.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DA Y.)

MATRIMONIAL SQUABBLES. —.Tones Anderson, and a female
named Condo:, were charged b the husband of the latter
with having robbed him. The complainant, however, said he
did not wish to press the charge, but to get his property and
his wife again.
Mr. Alderman KELLY—What has Anderson done ? Com-
plainant—l found the things in his place, but I only want my
wife and things again.
The Wife—You shall have both.—( Laughter. )
Mr. Alderman KELLY—What has Anderson to do with it?
Anderson--,She came once or twice, and demanded to sleep
where I was. I don't know what she brought.
Mr. Alderman KELLY—Are you a married man ? Ander-
son—Yes; but my wife is not at home at present.
The prisoners were then discharged.

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

Fraser, as usual, is bitter and uncompromising in his po-
litical tone, crying up the Tories, and crying down the
Whigs, with equal success in both cases—that is to say,
his praise of the one party is as inefficient as his condem-
nation of the other, from the exaggerated character that
pervades both. In his sketch of the Marquis of Normanby,
the writer, with a contempt for recorded facts which is
perfectly astounding, even in a Tory partisan, observes of
his Lordship—" He visits Mullingar, and the gates of the
gaols are thrown open, and away go vagabonds and
vagrants, ribbonmen and pilferers, some of them having
been committed for trial, which Lord Normanby interfered
to prevent ; some of them suffering the awarded punish-
ment which his Lordship, in open defiance of Judge and
Jury, steps in to remit ! Fortunately, Sergeant Jackson,
in 1836, brought all this before the House of Commons,
and then the only defence attempted was prospective—
namely, an humble promise that it should not occur again."
Never was there a more brazen perversion of truth than is
contained in the above sentence ! Sergeant Jackson never
established his case—it broke down under him at the out-
set—consequently no " humble promise" was required. In
the Lords the Noble Marquis answered every charge that
was brought against him, point by point, and so success-
fully, that even his bitterest political enemies were silenced.
The Tory scribe in Fraser should have turned back to the
debates on this question, before he ventured to pen such an
absurdity as is contained in the above quotation. " Aga-
memnon" is a translation, by Captain Medwin, of one of
the tragedies by lEschylus. The versification is spirited,
and, we are willing to believe, correct. " Present State of
Mental Philosophy in Italy"—query, can there be any phi-
losophy that is not mental ?—is an ab'e essay, suggestive of
many useful reflections. • " The Maidschenstein" is a tale
of deep tragic interest, told with feeling and simplicity,
and introduced by some clever descriptions of scenery in
what the writer calls " Saxon Swisserland." The date of
the story is the commencement of the sixteenth century,
when the reformation originated by Luther was progressing
throughout Europe. " Passages from the Diary of the
late Dolly Duster" is dreary twaddle, affecting to be wag-
gish, and failing in every effort at the facete. The
" Vicar" is a poem superior to the general run of Magazine
poetry.

that colony the Negroes were better educate I than in those in which the
apprenticeship system was enibrced. The resolution -expressed the
satisfaction of the meeting at 00 success of entire abolition in Antigua
and Bermuda, and contrasted that result with :the working of the appren-
ticeship system in the ether colonies.
Mr. C. G. FRY, in seconding the resolution, informed the meeting that
he hoped they had their beloved Queen with them.—(Cheers.) A de-
putation had this morning waited on her with a petition for entire
and immediate abolition, signed by 4,.`":49 ladies.—(licpeated cheers.)
WILLIAM ALLEN, Esq., in moving the next resolution, declared him-
self to be an "abolitionist of the last century."—(Cheers) He adverted
to the felonious conduct of the planters in the Mauritius, who had in-
troduced negroes imo the island contrary to law, and had the audacity to
demand compensation to them.—(Shame.) The resolution was to the
demand that petitions, founded on the resolutions, be presented to bath
