18th December last prisoner came to witness's shop 10
pay for a hat which he had had some time previously, and
tendered a check for 101. 10s. Witness had not suflichilat
ci a-ge, and prisoner said he would call the following
cycling ; he did net, however, do so.
Mr. Thompson, from the Banking-house of Martin,
Stone, and Martin, deposed that on 19th December a
person brought the cheque now produced to the banking-
house, and stated that he had been sent from Mr. Sewell's
in Bond-street to ascertain if it was a forgery, and that the
person tendering it for payment there was detained. lie
was taken into custody, and his story turned out to be un-
true in every particular.
Daniel Forrester, the officer, apprehended the prisoner,
when he stated that Captain Charitie's servant had pre-
sented the cheque at Mr. Sewell's, and that he had betn
sent to ascertain if it were a forgery or genuine. Took
him to Mr. Sevvell's. Ascertained there that his story was
a fabrication. On conveying him to the Comptcr found
in the cab in which he had been Conveyed some torn pieces
of paper, which, when put together, proved to be a copy
of the forged cheque.
Captain John Charitie kept no account with Martin,
Stone, and Martin. The prisoner had formerly burn in
his service, and might while living with him, have paid
some of his accounts with cheques, The cheque produced
was not in witness's handwriting. Never authorized any
one to write it. _ _

FRANCE.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers o
Monday ; they bring no news, save the following summary
of proceedings in the Chamber of Peers
CHAMBER OF PEERS.—JaN. 4.

On the proposition for giving 700,000 francs for the ser-
vice of foreign refugees i❑ France, the Duke of Noailles
said a few words, to which M. Guizot replied.
M. Guizot said that it was not the intention of the
French Government to interfere, directly or indirectly, in
the'ut, affairs of Spain ; but it was not indifferent to the
fate of Spain, and when even it had a Government based
on national assent, France had recognised and supported it.
As often as it was menaced by war, France had sustained,
sent a foreign legion to its assistance, made treaties,
and acted conformably to the wishes of Spain ; bnt there
the interference of France ceased. It respected the liberty
of the Queen's Government, and would not enter into a
struggle of parties. If the Government of Queen Isabella
was menaced in its existence, the French Government
would not be found wanting in its old policy of support,
but it would not meddle with the struggles of domestic
parties in Spain. He regretted what had taken place ill
Spain, but no one had a right to suspect that the present
Government of that country would separate from the cause
of Queen Isabel. This was universally recognised. There
was no civil war, and there was no pretext for
suspending amicable relations. If the present Adniinis-
tration made real and sensible efforts to be a good Govern-
ment why should it riot be supported. The King's Minis-
ters would support a Government de facto in that country,
which laboured to guide Spain in regular and pacific wa)s.
Yet he would not be responsible for the present
Ministry of Spain. He had scruples and fears ;
but this was not a time to devclope them to the
Chamber.: It was urged that Spain was delivered over
to the English. This was reported months ago. But
political influences were not so perishable as to disappear
under one or two Cabinets. These were but the inevitable
agitations of all countries tormented by party. Don't It t
us bestow• too much assistance on their vicissitudes. Some
Spaniards hated the French, but French influence was not
lost in Spain. The present Ministry might lean to Eng-
lish ideas, as the last did to French, but the geographical
position of France alone would enable her to recover her
influence in the Peninsula.
The debate was adjourned to Tuesday.

DISTRESS AND DISEASE IN SHOREDITCII.
—la consequence of a representation ►wade by Mr. R. F.
Burton, surgeon, of the hackney-road, respecting the ex-
tensive prevalence of small-pox and other coot 'glow' di-
.eases in the thickly-populated and ill-ventilated parts of
this pariah, three courts, containing altogether about 120
hovels of the meanest description, named Old, New, mid
King's Courts, were visited on Tuesday by a deputation fi ons
the Board of Guardians. These courts are inhabited
by the poorest classes of Irish, by vagrants, gipsics,
end prostitutes of the lowest description; and the pro-
perty, having been for some time in Chancery, has
been a crying nuisance to the surrounding
bourbood. In New-court, where disease has boe.►t
most prevalent, each house consists of two rooms, which-rt
fir Is. 6d. per week. The rooms are about tour yards
equare, and in one of these, inhabited by no fewer than
eleven persons, Mr. Button aas called upon:: to attend
seven aho were rale,uring under small-pox Many of the
petients have also been labouring under a slow typhoid
fever, and so greet seas the alarm created in the neighbour_
hood that, through the interference of the guardians, all
the miserable tenants had notice to quit by next Monday,
and the person asho coil, eta the rents has received orders
to thoroughly' cleanse and whitewash the buildings. Tire
board have issued an order that all the infected in those
three courts shell be itnmediately removed and attended
to in the parish workhouse. There in amongst the poor
a strong reluctance to this last resource, and in particular
a large family of gipsics, in which three children lay
extremely ill, removed into the country yesterday:moraing.
A great deal of disease, particularly amongst children,
prevails in t4e.tight,euring locality, principally attribut.
able to tire ,ilnt ef proper food and clothing. Distress ig
very prevalent in this part of the metropolis.

PROPERTY EMUARKED IN RAILWAYS.—A
list of railways, now completed and progressing, has been
compiled in order to prove the value of this description of
property, which, in a national point of view, is highly im-
portant, for in the construction of these valuable works,
though involving so very extensive a capital, he it remem-
bered, that every shilling has been expended in our own
countrv—first in the payment of land to the land-owners ;
secondly in the wages for the production of coal and iron
in the manufactory cf the materials ; and lastly in the
wages to the workmen in every department in the execu-
tion of these gigisatic undertakings, s,hich are bath useful
and ornamental, ,Ind pi ove the great master-min,l of science.
The energy and exertion requited in the prosecution of
these works, justly entitle the directors and propriettirs, to
the best thanks of the public. Of the railways now in the
muse of full work, some idea may be formed of the im.
moose revenue that will be established when the whole of
the undertakings come into active operation : but, it must
also be observed, that tie various lines, when completed.
will greatly benefit those to which the last years' gross re-
ceipts are now given :—Liverpool and Manchester,
255 9791. 9d. ; Grand Junction 435,684/, 6s. 6d. ;
London and Birmingham 752 592/. 10s. 2d. ; London
and South Western 227,2)8/. 2s. sd. ; Great Western
240,004/. tis. 7d. ; Midland Counties 53,947/. 2s. 4d. ;
Birmingham and Derby 48,i113/. 14s. 9d. Of this sum,
1,006,854/. is Q ividid amongst the proprietors; but where
does the remainder go to? it is expended on the works,
and in wages to the labourers ; equally beneficial to all.
This newly created property, in a very great measure,
arises from the overflow of wealth, and in every point in
which it can by possibility he considered, must afford to the
reflecting mind satisfaction, in the increasing prosperity Of
this our native land.—Statistics of Railways.

DEATII FROM WANT AN EXPOSURE TO
Cot.D.—Tuesday evening an inquest was held by Mr.
Payne, 4 the St. Sepulchre's workhouse, West•street,
Smithfield, on the body of Thomas Arthur Sadler, formerly
a compositor. From the evidence of many witnesses it
appeared that, between one and two o'clock on Thursday
morning, deceased was found lying on the wet pavement
near the workhouse, in West-strecti, lie was Without
shoes or stockings, and could scarcely walk or speak,
The police conveyed him to that workhouse, and its
medical cflicers ordered him warm applications and internal
stimulants, but he never rallied, and died the following day,
the parish surgeon said, of affection of the brain, produced
probably from destitution and exposure to the present
but having becomek deranged in mind he could

AVERAGE AGE AT WHICH PERSONS
NIARRI.---1 subjoin the result of an examination of the
recorded ages, in 4,858 marriages, which, as they are not
selected instances, but belonged to districts varying greatly
in situation and ehar..cter, and included every marriage in
such districts, thus comprising persons of every class, may
be presumed to be a fair example of the arms at which
marriages occur throughout the whole kingdom. The re-
sult of calculations founded on this abstract shows, that
the average ago of marriages was, for men, about ti
years; for women, 25 years and a few months:—
