Daniel Fitzgerald, who was brought from the gaol to
give his evidence, having been committed by the magis-
trate for the purpose of securing his attendance, deposed
that he lodged at the house of the prisoner Chapman,
and he knew the deceased, and remembered his bring
very ill, and dying in the house. On the 12th October,
witness and both the prisoners went to the office of a
solicitor at Woolwich, and showed him a paper which
was supposed to be a will made by the deceased. The
solicitor looked at it, and said it would not do, as it was
incorrectly drawn up, and he gave them a form to be filled
up, marking the places where the signatures of the wit.
nesses and the mark of the testator were to be placed.
On their return home with this paper, they went into
the tap-room of a public-house, where they drank two
half-pints of rum, and the prisoner, Mary Chapman,
said that as the will bad to get back that night, they
might as well do it at once, and he Higgins put ',their
names and addresses to the paper. When they had
signed it, Mrs. Chapman said they might as well put
the old man's mark to it, and Higgins stooped down to
the table and was in the attitude of writing, but he did
not see him put a mark to the paper. When this had
been done they all three went to the garret where the
deceased was lying in bed, quite speechless, and appa-
rently insensible. A pen was put into his hand, and
Mrs. Chapman laid hold of his wrist arid guided it, and
she then said, " There now he has made his mark, and
you will tell no lie about it." The deceased at this time
did not appear to know anything of what was going on,
and the paper was never read to him. lie was unable
to speak, and on the following morning he died. The
prisoner, Mary Chapman, promised to give him a new w

Cross-examined—Witness was present when the first Doncaster
paper was executed or pretended to be executed. The Pontefract 18
deceased was in the same state, and witness held him OCT(
up in bed by one hand, and Mrs. Chapman laid acros Chester Autumn 3
the bed behind him to support him. Higgins held the Yorkshire Union Hunt 5
paper to him, and put a pen in his hand and a pair of Wrexham 5
spectacles on his nose. The old man did not seem to Newmarket S 0 9
know at all what he was about. He held the pen in NOVE.
his fist like a stick, and dropped it down upon the paper
Epsom Autumn 2
and blotted it. He did not make any mark, and seemed
not to know how to make one. He appeared to be
quite faint, and Higgins took the pen and paper from I
him. They all signed their names to this paper, as they
had done to the other. After the deceased died, his
clothes were searched, and a half-sovereign and some

A again attended to. If the public could see how many
millions sterling have been sacrificed during the present
year from the absence of such returns, they would regard
any neglect of the question on the part of the Govern-
ment as one of the most culpable errors that could be
committed, and it is to awaken the Ministers to a sense
of this responsibility that the mercantile classes feel now
compelled to move. The capitalist is aware that,
through his inability to get materials for a conclusion,
he was prevented in the early part of the season from
investing his money in grain wherever he could de-
spatch agents to procure it, while his French rival, in
the possession of carefully collected statements, was able
to act promptly even in our own markets ; the agri-
culturist finds to his mortification that he sold much
of his produce at less than two-thirds of its subse-
quent value ; the shipowner was ignorant where. his
vessels would be wanted, and sent them out of reach
when they might have made fortunes at Odessa or New
York ; and the manufacturer, whose whole success often
depends upon whether the value of money will be 1 per
cent. more or less, has not only been without the means of
anticipating the efflux of bullion, but is actually at this
moment in the dark as to whether we have attained and
paid for a sufficient supply to render much further pres.
sure unlikely, or whether our stocks are still so far below
what will be requisite as to keep up a constant outflow
of specie. In the whole range of matters that bear upon
our financial and commercial welfare there is scarcely
in
terest,
and that assumes such proportions of general
and when the fact is recognised that France, the United
States. and other countries, where the facilities are far
less than here, have long since shown how simply and
inexpensively the end may be attained, there are few
more surprising or discreditable circumstances than
it should now remain for the commercial community to
remonstrate and memorialise in order that it should no
longer be neglected.
[ADVERTISEMENT. I—A LIEUTENANT OF DRAGOONS
CUR ED OF RHEUMATISM BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND PILLS.—This officer, who is in the Dutch army,
states that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured
him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as
neither sea-bathing, vapour-baths, nor preparations vaunted
as sure remedies, did him any good, and the treatment of
the doctor, after several months' trial, was without suc-
cess. At this juncture he commenced taking these Pills.
and rub Ling the Ointment into the complaining parts
twice a day, which effectually cured him in the cJurse of
six weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for
by Mr. J. B. Stratman, of Bois-le-Duc.—Sold by all drug-

DEMAND FOR SEAMEN IN THE WEST.—Several ren-
dezvous
for the entering of seamen and eligible landsmen
for the Royal Navy have been opened at the various
ports of South Wales, and in several instances with good
success. At Tenby twenty fine young fellows have been
enrolled, and there is every prospect of more being ob-
tained, as the near approach of war, and the hope of
prize money, seem to he inducements which our brave
seafaring population cannot resist. In addition to the
unusual pressure for men for the Royal Navy, the supply
of seamen for the mercantile marine is by no means
equal to the demand, in consequence of the large number
of vessels which have been despatched for Australia.
This is the case at all the ports of the Bristol Channel,
so much so that outward bound vessels have been de-
tained waiting for men ; and at the Welsh ports, on the
other side, seamen are very scarce.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY.— In an- ancient chest long
standing in a neglected corner of an obscure tower in
Lambeth Palace, we understand that certain historical
papers have just been found. No details as to the par.
ticular contents of the documents now unearthed have
yet reached us ; but we hear it said that they are
valuable of their kind. They are supposed to refer
chiefly—if not exclusively—to the Cromwell period. We
have even heard that some of them bear the signature of
the Protector.—A thenaum.

REPRESENTATION OP THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF
DEVON.—A vacancy has occurred in the representation
of the southern division of this country, by the death
on Friday last of Sir Ralph Lopes. A requisition is
now in the course of signature to Sir Massey Lopes, his
son, inviting him to allow himself to be put in nomina-
tion. The electors have also been cautioned not to
pledge themselves to any other candidate until Sir
Massey's answer has been received. Sir Stafford North-
cote, and L. Palk, Esq., of Haldon-house, have both
been mentioned as likely to be brought forward to fill
the vacancy. Neither of these gentlemen have as yet
held senatorial honours. Sir Stafford was invitad to
offer himself for this city at the last general election,
but declined on the score of ill-health ; the latter gen-
tleman was formerly president of the Devon and Exeter
Protection Society, and a Protectionist. Sir Ralph
represented the division for two Parliaments, and was
elrcted, together with Sir J. Y. Buller, each time un-
opposed. The last time the county was contested was
in 1837, when Sir J. Y. Buller was returned at the head
of the poll, and Mr. Montague Parker obtained a ma-
jority of 927 over Mr. Bulteel, the Liberal candidate.
