WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday .R. Springett Colman, a young man respectably
connected, was brought up for re-examination, charged with
issuing a fictitious bill of exchange for the sum of 901. 45., for
the purpose of defrauding Messrs. Poolley and Co., corn-
factors, Kingston-upon-Thames.
About the beginning of the year the prisoner gave an order
for a quantity of corn, in payment of which he tendered a bill,
purporting to be accepted by a person of the name of Wild-
man, chronometer-maker, residing in Lombard-street, and
which was made payable at the bankers, Messrs Deacon, Wil-
liams, and Co. It was to run six weeks, and became due in
April last. Application was of course made to the bankers,
who detaied alt knowledge of the parties, and, on going to the
house in Lombard-street, no ac,:eptor could be found. From
that time till Monday last n? tidings were had of the prisoner,
%hen Mr. Poolley having heard that he was then at the Whit-
more Arms, in the Whitmore-road, he was apprehended by
Holland, N 146.

The prisoner was again remanded, when he was bailed by
two of his friends, and was ordered to be brought up on Mon-
day next.

BLOWING UP OF WRE .KS IN THE

THAMES.

Yesterday the Lord Mayor received a letter. incising tha
divers' report of their proceedings from Camel Pasley, of the
Royal Engineers, by which it appears that the probable ex-
pense of the ren,wed operations in destroying the wrecks of
the William and Glenmorgan will not exceed 1001. The fol-
lowing is an extract fro n the Colonel's letter :—" Althongh
I was premature in having reported that the complete demoli.
tion of the two wrecks in question hid been effected by the
two first great explosions of the 28th of May and the sth of
June last, owing to my having been misinformed ; yet as there
is no doubt of the fact now, and as every means in my power
have been taken to carry on the operations as economically as
possible, I trust that the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen
will excuse the unintential mistake made in my former re-
ports. They requested me to blow one wreck to pieces, and
we have entirely destroyed two with the same quantity of gun-
powder that I had previously calculated upon as being necei.
sary for the brig William, and which they approved b.fore we
commenced our first operations."
Mr. Robinson, the Chairman of the Thames Navigation arid
Port of London Committee, and Captain Fisher, the pried
pal harbour master, reported to the Lord Mayor that they had
sounded over the places in which the wrecks had been situated,
and perfectly confirmed the report of the entire destruction of
those dangerous impediments, and his Lordship having ap-
proved their recommendation that the piecias of wreckage of
the William should be weighed, the Chairman undertook to
give directions for that purpose forthwith.
The hole in which the aits intorgan latt ly lay is now, it ap-
pears, filled up with mud and sand.
