Lord Glamis, to set aside certain releases which his Lord-
ship had executed in the year 1833, upon—the basis of
certain Accounts which were then settled, and fora general
account.

(rßoaf THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY.

TlDlES:—Tomorrow being settling-day; the jobbers
were busy in, the prepAration or adjustment -.of their :ac-
counts. A good deal of business wp.s, done in the funds
without, however, causing any fluctuation in "prices worth
notice.

His HONOUR recapitulated the agreement for arbitration
ind the award, and aft,:r going in detaii..tbrough the ob-
jections to the awardthe overri,ile&them all. He thought
the' case against the arbitrators personally had . been, in
effect withdrawn, but in truth it 'ought not to have been
advanced. He therefore refused the motion with costs.

No trate' has yet been' discniered, 'if is stated, of the
party charged lately' with the falsification or abstraction of
Mexican Bonds ; but from the inquiries set on foot, and
the information procured,, the.extent of the frauds perpe-
trated, or which yet .may hang-in suspense, appears to have
been ase'rtained with tolerable exactitude. As it is a
subj ct about which some Uneasiness may reasonably be
supposed to prevail among the holders of that kind of se-
curities, the following particulars, which have transpired
in quarters most likely to be well informed, may not
he out of place. By a_-.comparison of the quantity of
Bonds delivered by the engravers, employed with those
issued or still unfilled up iw the hands of the house
of agency, it results that about thirty of the defern'd
bonds, of the nominal valUe of 500/. each, the marketable
value of which is Si. per cent. each, or thereabouts, is the
total number which cannot be accounted for at present, at,d
which therefore may possibly be in circulation. This refers
only of course to those which have-not been actually d s_
covered as placed anywhere. In the hands of certriin
parties who have made advances upon the deposits 25 fa-
bricated Active Bonds have been found, and 57 of the
Deferred, the numbers of which haVe been duly taken,
and the circulation so far rendered impracticable, as in the
event of the culprit's apprehension they will probably have
to be proluced by the holders. Besides these, Forester,
the officer employed, has found and secured in the premises
of the party himself 64 Active 13unds and 10 Deferred,
which would have been issued but for the timely detec-
tion of the fraud. It turns out, to the surprise of his
employers, that the culprit del* had offices on his own ac-
count in Freeman's-court, Cornhill, where he was exten-
sively engaged in manufacturing. companies. It appears that
his operations were confined to,the filsification of 5001. new
bonds, for, excepting the abstraction of
,the old bonds for-
merly alluded to, no frauds have been committed in new
bonds, either Active or Defirred, 'of ANL, or any les.*
amount than 5001.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 26
THE QUEEN V. CALCRAFT.

In this case an indictment had been preferred against
the prisoner for having fraudulently removed a person
named Sarah Duffield, who was a material and necess lry
witness in a prosecution which had been instituted against
her father for murder, whereby the indictment against the
father had failed of being proved, and the father had been
acquitted.

It was charged and proved that this prisoner had got the
daughter from her situation by a statement made to her
mistress that her i other was ill, and desired to see her, m.d
by a promise that she should return on the followinz day.
The present indictment had been tried at the last Liverpool
Assizes, in the absence of the prisoner, and a verdict of
guilty had been returned. The prisoner was now brought
up for judgment.

Affidavits were put in on the part of the prisoner, and
M. WIGHTMAN addressed the Court in mitigation of
punishment.

Mr. STARKIE appeared on the part of the,prosecution.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—Prisoner, you have been con-
victed at the last Assizes at Liverpool, upon an indictment
which charges you with having secreted a witness who was
a material and a necessary witness in a charge of murder.
It apppears that she is the daughter of the person charged
with the murder, and that you are the brother of her mo-
ther. You state in your affidavits that, the mother being
ill, you assisted her in getting her daughter sway from
Niancliever to Nottingham, but that when she .was there
you deny using any controul over her, and you state that,
being twenty years of age, she was perfectly her own mis-
tress, and could have gone back if she had pleased. That
may be the fie, but it is quite cle tr that you assisted her
to go away in the first instance, and thus evade the per-
formative of a duty, painful it is true, but most neces-
sary for the safety of society. The affidavits which
have been laid before us show that you have been ruined in
circumstances by this conduct ; that you have long wan-
dered about the country, but that you have recently been
in prison, being apprehended after the verdict given against
you. The Court takes all these circumstances into consi-
deration, but it must be well understood by all persons
whatever, that this is an offence of a most serious descrip-
tion. You have occasioned a perversion of jusqce, and
have prevented from being fairly tried a person charged
with a foul and atrocious untuler. You, at least, assisted .n
procuring such a result. Everybody must be aware that it
is the duty of every subject of the country, not only-not to
screen, but to bring an offender to justice. This is a pain-
ful case in some respects, as the person removed „through
your agency was the daughter of the prisoner. It does
not, therefore, surprise any one that you should have felt a
wish to act as you have done, but you ought to have re-
sisted that wish, for it was your duty to take care that she
should have appeared in a court of justice as a witness.
You have suffered already some imprisonment—you have
suffered in circumstances—and the Court trusts that the
example of what you have suffered will deter others from
committing the same crime. The sentence of the Court
is that you be imprisoned in the gaol of Rutland for two
calendar months.

The Stock Exchange was in a state of considerable agi-
tation to-d,ly, through the announcement of some extensive
frauds committed by Mr. Terry, the Managing Director of
the Anti-Dry Rot Company. The report is, that the
shares havin been called in for the purpose of regis-
tration, as many as 2,400 out of the whole 10,000
shares into which the capital stock was divided, were
re-issued, or lodged with parties against advances of
money by the person alluded to, without any authori-
zation of the owners, and of course without the privity of
the directors. How far the company stands committed
by this fraudulent act of one of its confidential servants
does not yet appear. It is stated. on the part of the di-
rectors, that the Company is not held liable for the transac-
tions of the party, although in its employ, and the shares
so misappropriated having been confided, not to the indi-
vidual, but on the faith and according to the terms of an
order of the Board of Directors, explanations will doubtless
he afforded in proper time by the parties concerned, for
the satisfaction of the shareholders at large, many of whom
being at a considerable distance must he exceedingly
anxious with respect to the security of their property. This
circumstance has led to the recent decline in the shares of
this company, of which a great number were thereby thrown
upon the market, and not any alteration in its general pro-
spects, which are favourable.

CHRONICLE.—Money on the whole is rather more
n demand than it has been lately, but the inquiries for it
are not sufficiently extensive to occasion any immediate in-
crease in the rate of discount, and as the Bank of England
is expected to issue on Thursday its usual notice at this
period of the year, to make advances upon app-oved bills,
&c., until the beginning of the year, it is not thought any
material change will be effected in the Money-market for
some time. The chief business transacted to-day in the
English Stock-market was in making preparations for the
adjustment of the Account, which takes place to-morrow.
Consols for Money left off at 931 i to 94, and 94 buyers for
the January Account. Exchequer Bills closed at 66 to
68 prem.; India Stock, 2624 to 263 i ; and Bank Stock,
203 to 203 i.
There was some activity displayed in the Spanish Market
at the commencement of business, and purchases were made
in compliance of orders from Paris, we understand, which
led to a slight improvement in the price of Active Stock
as compared with Saturday's quotations. It closed a, 17*
to t, being a rally o' 1 per cent. Dutch Securities are
rather heavy : the Five per Cents., at 100 i to and the
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 53k- to 54k, as letters from
Amsterdam allude to the march of troops to the Belgian
frontier, which, in some measure, bears out the feeling we
stated on Saturday exists in the City as to hostile proceed-
ings being apprehended between Holland and Belgium. In
the other foreign stocks there is no alteration.
Another affair, in some degree similar to Macnin's busi-
ness, has been discovered to-day in the city, and has occa-
sioned considerable interest and excitement, as the person
accused was well known, and the Company a conspicuous.
one. It is in fact stated that the managing Director of
the Anti-Dry-Rot Company has absconded, taking with
him a considerable amount of money, which he had obtained
by a fraudulent application of the shares entrusted to him.
In the Share Market it caused particular sensation. It
appears he had been receiving from the holders of scrip
their certificateslo ;egistAr• the shares in their names, it
being of course presumed that they would be cancelled
in the regular manneri. and .:•as usual in such cases. In-
stead of which, the party alluded to has employed them
to obtain loans of money
_on, their deposit, and then,
as payment of the
,adyaqces became due, ~bas sold
.them on the market... This explains what has been
to many persons quite incomprehensible namely, how it
happened that an undertaking apparently so prosperous,
and upon which a dividend of 21. per share is advertised.
;should remain at so large a discount. Thee fraudulent
sales were stated in the early part of the day to amount to
several thousand shares, but we have since seen some of
the gentlemen connected with the Company, and we be-
lieve we may state that the mischief has been greatly exag-
gerated, and that much unnecessary alarm exists on the
subject. No bargains have been done in the shares to-day,
as no one is inclined to buy or sell until something positive
as to the real circumstances of the Company have been
ascertained. The shares were held extensively by the
members of the-Stock Exchange, who have been much
engaged to-day in discussing as to upon whom the loss
should fall. The Railway Shares have been tolerably firm,
but business in them has been very limited, at the annexed
quotations :—Birmingham (old), 83 to 85 prem ; ditto

wich, 16:i.t0,47.per share. British Iron Shares are 11+
to 121 per share ; and General Mining Shares, 12 to 13

American S'echilifes remain steady.

HERA LD.—The continued—prevalence of northern
and easterly winds has created much anxiety amongst our
mei.chants connected with the, Canadian, American, and,
in fict, all the western 'trade, respecting the safety of the
merchant vessels homeward-boUnd,' and' it is understood
that a deputation has milted' upon the Government to-day
with a view of pressing upon the:atteritiOn of Ministers the
necessity of suiding out steamers. with a supply of
pro-
%isions for the use of the homeward: wind-bound merchant
%essels in the Channels.

Mr. Terry, the Treasurer of Kyan's Anti-Pry-Rot Co.m
pany, has, in the vernacular tongue, made himsef scarce ;
having contrived to bolt with about 70,0Q0/. which he has
got together by re-issuing the scrip notes of the Company.
