PUSEYISM.

one"

TO THE EDITOR OF THE WILTSHIRE INDEPENDENT.
SIR,—In my letter of last week, I stated that one
of our clergymen (the Curate) bad preached a ser-
mon in opposition to the doctrines of Puseyism. It is
affirmed that the Rector has since applied to the
Bishop, praying that the Curate may be forbidden to ,
preach in Devizes ; but it appears that the Bishop has
not acceded to his request.
Circumstances like these cannot fail to awaken the
attention of every man whose religion is not a mere
sound without meaning. Two appointed pastors so-
lemly announce that they and their flock are miserable
sinners, who have gone astray like lost sheep, and in
whom is no health ; yet they are in utter discord as to
the means of health and safety. Authorised teachers of
the doctrines of the Church of England, they are not
agreed as to her very first principles ; alike procl.aiming
a message from God to mankind, they are totally at
variance as to its meaning.
But I do not wish to confine myself to these indivi-
duals, nor are my remarks intended to be personal. The
hector and Curate of Devizes are representatives of two
very large sections of the Church of England. The Rec-
tor has the learned Dr. Pusey, the eloquent Mr. New-
man, the poetical Mr. treble, and a great many others on
his side ; perhaps I might add the Bishops of Exeter and
Ripon. With the Curate are the Bishop of Winchester,
the Bishop of Calcutta, Dr. Shuttleworth, Dr. Arnold,
&c. &c., and the whole evangelical clergy. Both par-
ties can boast alike the support of immense numbers of
regularly ordained ministers of the Church of England,
all taking shelter under the wing of the Apostles—all
inspired by the Holy Ghost—all empowered to absolve
from sin ; but to this hour divided in opinion how, or by
what means sins are forgiven—all alike heralds of
Christianity, but not yet agreed what Christianity is.
I may probably resume this subject in a future letter ;
at present I shall restiict myself to a statement of
THE DOCTRINES OF PUSEYISM.
First. Eternal salvation is to be obtained by the
Sacraments of the Church, that is, Baptism and the
Lord's Supper.
Second. These Sacraments can be validly adminis-
tered by one order of persons only ; and the clergy of
the Episcopal Church constitute that order.
Third. This peculiar power, descending to them in
unbroken succession from the Apostles, they receive at
their ordination.
Fourth. Persons not it union with the Episcopal
Church have no such pow.- ; consequently, all who are
without the pale of the English Episcopal Church and
the Church of Rome—all English Dissenters—all
Scotch Presbyterians—nay, all the Protestants of Con-
tinental Europe, have no Scriptural ground of hope
that they shall not perish everlastingly.*
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Z.

LATEST FROM AMERICA.

The following arc extracts from the American pipers,
received to the Ist of August, by the Britannia :

CUNARD FESTIVAL.
(From the Boston Post.)

The Cunard Festival, at East Boston, on Tuesday af-
ternoon, passed off well, and to the general satisfaction of
the subscribers to the dinner. The pavilion was constructed
by extending canvas from the principal front of the Mave-
rick House., to a distance sufficient to accommodate 2,000
persons. By this arrangement the piazzas of the house
were converted into galleries, and beneath the lower one a
temporary gallery was erected, and the whole were occu-
pied by ladies, immediately in front of whom were the dig-
nit2ries and guests, whose privilege it was to sit above the
salt cellar. Col. Greene was Chief Marshal, and acted
with great ease, promptness, and efficiency. The company
were seated at the tables punctually at the hour appointed.
Colonel Josiah Quincy, Jr., officiated as President of
the day, and was, as ever, exceedingly happy in his contri_
buti.mstu the enjoyment of the guests. The blessing. of
Divine Providence was invoked by the Rev. Mr. Stone, of
Charleston. After the cloth was removed the President
made a short and felicitous speech, which he concluded
with the following sentiment

" Health, happiness, and prosperity to Mr. Cunard,
May he weet with the success and enjoy the honours which
are Lip due in both of the countries which he has now united."
Mr. Cunard was formally introduced to the company by
the President of the day. He was long and loudly cheered,
He slake a few words expressive of his gratification at the
reception he had met with, and apologised for being so
brier by acknowledging that he was not a " speech maker."
Mr. Quincy remarked, with ready wit, that if Mr. Cunard
was not known by words be was better known, for " his
works did praise him." The following sentiment, must
enthusiastically received, was then offered from the Chair :
" The Sovereign Lady of Great Britain and the Soy°.
reign Ladies of America—the one governs all English
men collectively, and the others govern all Americans owl
by one."
The President then announced " Mr. Grattan, the I.lri.
tish Consul," who responded in a speech of florist, elo.
quence, and which iCt'med particularly to delight tho
" dress circles."

The follo‘ting sentiment was then offered by the Presi-
dent of the Day.—

" The Firitdof the Regular Line of Steam Ships—We
will say nothiiig about the empire of the seas; but while,
Captain Woodruff makes such passages as the la4t,
every Yarl:re will say, The steam-ship Britannia :ties
the waves.' "

ilird!'l.l%7Lbger, being loudly called for, arose ar,d spoke
at leugtb upon the results of steam. He concluded with
the following toast :

" The Pace of the World—May it long be preserved
y th,.; i:alticucc, of evil zation and Christianity, and by
the power of all independent nations to defend themselves."
By a volunteer :

" Justices of our District Court—Fitting guests
on deck or dinner table as by statute they have jurisdic-
tion over all men " half seas over.' "

Ills Honour Judge Story responded to the sentiment,
and concluded by giving—

The me►rory of Watt and Fulton, whose combined
geniu; united all nations, abridged distance, ani turned
upward the streams of rivers, for the purposes of com.
Dance."

Ctotain Josiah Sturgis. of the rt,venue Cutter ilamil.
ton, the busiest maa alive, gave the following " good

"'rile Hon. Slmuel Cunard—the only man who has
darcd to beat the Queen."

The President then offered the following
" Historian of A merica"—a collector of the deeds of
the daughter, and rorthy of the deeds of the mother.
sir. Collector Bancroft (the historian alluded to), re.
spoaded to this complimentary sentiment in a speech of
unrivalled clquence. It was beautiful—beautiful—beau.
tiftt!. Ile concluded by proposing the following son.

" Old England"--she relinquishes the ambition of
striving to rule the sea, and effects the nobler purpose of
connecting sentiments.
By a volunteer.
" Our Mother Country"—Unlike ether old women, the
older she grows, the handsomer she is.

_ , •
W. S. Skinner, Esq., Government Agent for the Brit.
isb 11Izil, gave the following:—
_ _

The prosperity of Mr. Cunard's family—may it be as
unbounded as their enterprise and industry."
Numerous other sentiments were sent to the table, as
maby of which were read as time would allow.
The company gave three cheers for the Britannia and
quietly retired about eight o'clock. ,

COLLISION OF STEAM-BOATS.—Loss OF STEA 24.130 AT
NORTH CAIIOLINA.—From J. Chapman Huger, Esq., of
South Carolina, who reacted this city yesterday morning
in the Norfolk steam-boat, we learn the particulars of a
fearful collision which occurred at sea on Saturday night
last, between the steam-boats Governor Dudley and North
Carolina , and which resulted in the loss of the latter beat,
together with the passengers' baggage and the U. S. mails
for the south. Providentially no lives were lost. These
boats both belong to the Wilmington and Roanoke
roA Company, and at the time of the collision, wh:teh
tour: place at sea, about sixty miles south of Wilmington.
the North Carolina was running towards Charleston with
the northern passengers and mails, while the Qovernor
Dudley was on her way towards Wilmington.
The collision took place about one o'clock, A.M., of
Saturday night last, on a beautiful starlight night, with a
pet fcctly calm sea. The boats were going at the rate of
twelve or fourteen miles an hour, and were seen by each
other for a mile or two before they came together. How
they managed to run into each other is not known ; day.
captain of each boat was in his berth at the time—havi•tig
stood his regular watch—and the mate of each had charge
of his respective boat. In the collision which took place
the Governor Dudley's bow struck the North Carolina
between the ladies' and gentlemen's cabin. The shock
was terrible, and its violence. may be inferred from the fact
that in ten minutes after it took place the North Carolina
had sunk to the water's edge.
The passengers of both boats were all in their berths
at the time, and had barely time to escape with their
lives. The great coolness and self-possession manifested
on the trying occasion by the captain of each boat, were
doubtless the means of preventing any loss of life. The
small boats were immediately manned, and the passengers
of the North Carolina all conveyed in safety to the.
Governor Dudley. In about ten minutes after every one
was transferred to the latter, the North Carolina, theta
down to the water's edge, heeled over.

in the highest terms of praise by the pr,sser.gers.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
We understand that the Railway Department to be
annexed to the Board of Trade, under the new Bill, is
to be constituted at first on a very limited and econo-
mical scale. Feeling that the working of the new
measure must be (for some time at least) in a great
degree experimental, the President of the Board of
Trade has judiciously determined to increase the per-
manent establishment of his department as little as
possible, consistently with the efficient discharge of the
new duties imposed upon it by the Legislature. With
this view, instead of appointing a whole Board of
Commissioners and permanent Engineer Inspectors,
the Railway Department has, we understand, been
attached to the Statistical Branch of the Board of
Trade, and placed under the general control and
superintendence of Mr. Porter, whose character will
give confidence to the public, and to the different in-
terests connected with railways, that the powers given
by the Act will be exercised fairly and impartially. The
only additional appointments under the Bill consist, we
are informed, of a barrister, at a salary of 5001. per
annum, to assist in the revision of bylaws, railway acts,
and other important matters of a legal nature
which will devolve upon the Board under the provisions
of the Act, and to conduct the general business and cor-
respondence of the department under the superinten-
dence of Mr. Porter, and one junior clerk at a salary of
1001. a year. With regard to the business of inspection,
it is not, we understand, the intention of Government
in the first instance, and until more experience has
been had of the working of the measure, to make any
permanent appointment of an inspector-general, but to
employ, from time so time, as occasion may arise, some
officer of the Royal Engineers or other competent per-
son, to perform the duties of an inspector, at a fixed
rate of remuneration. The whole permanent charge
entailed upon the public, under these arrangements, will
not, we are informed, exceed 8001. a year. It will no
doubt be satisfactory to the numerous body, by whose
energy and enterprise the great lines of internal com-
munication of the country have been established, to find
that the Government is not influenced by a hostile spirit
towards these great enterprises, and that, on the con-
trary, there is every intention and desire of proceeding
with caution and moderation in the discharge of the new
functions vested in them by the Legislature.
(From the Times.)
The ecstasy of the Ministerialists at having got
safely to the end of this Session of Parliament exceeds
all their former fits of exultation. The reaction from
despair to rejoicing fairly throws them off their equili-
brium. In questions, however, concerning Parliamen-
tary strength—its increase or diminution on either side
—the whole point at issue must be expressed by figures.
We have taken the trouble to note down the progress
of the Whigs, since their complete, and apparently
permanent, settlement in power, by the first election
under the Reform Bill. The history of these seven years,
exhibiting the gradual decline of Whiggism, and con-
stant rise of the opponent principle, will furnish the
best reply to the boastings of the Ministerial journals.
The years 1831 and 1832 were years of transition.
After the election in the spring of 1831, the Whigs
had, indeed, a temporary ascendancy ; but they were
well aware that their ground was not secure. Their
majority was only gained by a popular excitement, and
might be'expected, on the ebb of that feeling, to dwindle
away. The Reform Bill, therefore, became the one
great point at which they aimed, and they kept that
point in view until complete success had crowned their
exertions. By the secession of the opponew:s in the
House of Lords the Whigs were enabled to carry their
own plan of representation intact. They obtained
" the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill."
They thus insured themselves a House of Commons,
planned and constructed by themselves. The first
election fully answered all their expectations. It
formed a House of Commons in which only about
150 Conservatives were found. Five hundred of
its members professedly supported " the Reform
Ministry," and of these fully 400 were stanch
and obsequious adherents. When had any Adminis-
tration that England or the world ever saw commenced
its career under circumstances so favourable ? "We
shall be too strong!" was Lord Brougham's well-known
exclamation. Strong, indeed, in every requisite for use-
ful action that Administration was. The King was
heartily with the Cabinet ; the people had just shown
their confidence by their electoral returns ; the Lower
House was theirs by a majority altogether overwhelm-
ing ; the Peers cowered and waited, not in friendship,
but almost in fear. What has become of that state of
things ? Will the most exultant of the Ministerialists
of 1840 venture to deny that the seven years which
have elapsed have made a woful change, or that few
things can offer a more striking contrast than the palmy
estate of Whiggism in 1833, and its drooping and de-
spairing plight in 1840 ?
(From the Morning Ilerald.)
The Conservative cause in the country is a cause that
has grown from comparative weakness into its present
magnitude and power, not because, but in spite of the
conduct of the leaders of the Opposition in Parliament.
The Session just closed has particularly tried the inhe-
rent strength and vitality of Conservatism, not by the
vigorous assaults of its enemies, but by the weak or
treacherous compliances of its timid or pretended
friends. If Conservatism outside the walls of Parlia-
ment not only survives the defection from its principles
so often exhibited within, and even grows with still in-
creasing strength throughout the length and breadth
of the land, it is owing to its having an existence
rooted in the good sense, right feeling, and truly
loyal and patriotic affections of the English people.
Were the whole of the Opposition in Parliament to
go over at once to the Whig camp, and, under the
guidance of some political Maroto, to deliver up
every one of the positions which they have solemnly
vowed to defend, the power of Conservatism in the
country would remain unabated—unbroken—undi-
minished. It would still present a wall of iron—a Spar-
tan rampart against the rushing tide of that destructive
and infidel liberalism which threatens the most ancient,
honoured, and sacred institutions of society with Vandal
desolation. In an article bearing on the state and pros-
pects of Conservatism, in the Standard of last night,
the following passage occurs :—" The Conservatives in
Parliament might, again and again, have seized upon
office, but they exercised thelwisest discretion in declin-
ing to do so, until they could assume the reins of Go-
vernment with honour and with a perfect understanding
among themselves and with the Conservative people
out of doors, because, otherwise, their tenure of the
Government might be too brief to benefit the country.
For whatever else the Conservative leaders may be
thought worthy of blame, they are entitled to the
highest praise for not taking office." If the Conserva-
tives in Parliament are possessed of all that abstinent
virtue which causes "office" to look unlovely in their
eyes, it must be admitted that their Whig adversaries
have given them very little opportunity of reducing that
virtue into practice.
(From the Morninq Advertiser.)
One of the most important public documents which
have appeared in Scotland since the time of the memo-
rable solemn league and covenant entered into by the
people of that country two hundred years ago, when
their religion was placed in imminent peril by the en-
croachments of " Black Prelacy," has just been pub-
lished in the Edinburgh Papers. It is headed, " En-
gagement in Defence of the Liberties of the Church
and People of Scotland," and is dated, " August, 1840."
This most important document has already received
the signatures of a large number of the most dis-
tinguished clergymen and laymen in the Scottish
Church ; and we have no more doubt, from what we
know of the feelings of Scotchmen on the subject, that
it will be forthwith signed by the overwhelming ma-
jority of those who arc connected with the Northern
Establishment, than that we now hold in our hand the
pen that traces these lines. The document, indeed,
may be said to be a second solemn league and covenant,
and as the first " Engagement" entered into two centu-
ries ago on behalf of their religion, when put in jeopardy
by an ambitious and tyrannical Episcopacy, averted the
meditated destruction, not of Presbyterianism alone, but
of all that is vital in the Gospel of Jesus—so we feel
assured, that under the blessing of the Most High, the
effect of this second solemn" Engagement" on behalf of a
free-grace Gospel, will be the preservation and triumph
of Evangelism in the bosom of the Scottish Church, at
present menaced with extinction by an unholy alliance
on the part of some of her professed children—illegi•
timate children we must call them—with the civil
power. The preamble of the document contains this
solemn and momentous passage We, the under-
signed, ministers and elders, humbling ourselves under
the mighty hand of our God, acknowledging his right-
eousness in all his ways, confessing our iniquities, and
the iniquities of our fathers, mourning over the defec-
tions and short-comings which have most justly provoked
his holy displeasure against this Church ; adoring at
the same time his long-suffering, patience, and tender
mercy, and giving thanks for the undeserved grace and
loving-kindness with which he has visited his people
and revived his cause ; under a deep sense of our own
insufficiency, and relying on the countenance and
blessing' of the great God and our Saviour ;—ardo

These are solemn and decided resolutions. They are
worthy of men who know and have received the truth ;
and they are, in every respect, resolutions which the
emergency of the case dealanei.

PO ST.—Wo have received a communication from
Messrs. Simpson and Cobb, the solicitors of the Portu-
guese Ambassador, complaining of our remarks on the
late canceiment of bonds at the Bank of England. We
have no intention of reflecting on the character of his Ex-
cellexcy and the financial agent in their private capacities,
but, in discussing the proceedings of a foreign Govern-
ment, in which persons so circumstanced happen to be
mixed up, it is often difficult to separate one party from
the other—the Governments themselves from their re-
presentatives.
The charge made against us of having given
utterance to " scandalous libels" on the Portuguese
Government, with reference to its loan transactions,
is absurd. The trespasses of the Queen Donna
Maria's advisers towards the foreign creditors of
the nation have been so notoriously shameful that
the complaint with many is that we have not gone
far enough in our condemnation of them. Other
journals may attempt to excuse Portugal by a fallacious
interpretation of some of her more recent and unimportant
money operations, but it is impossible to get rid of the
fact that there are thirteen millions due from that nation
to British capitalists, the payment of the dividends on about
eleven millions of which (the portion not guaranteed by
Brazil) has been suspended since 1836, the dividends to
the home creditor having been paid during the whole of
the period with as much punctuality as is the interest on
our own Consols. If we have misstated the terms upon
which the concealment of bonds on the 7th inst. was ef-
fected, and an intelligible explanation of the matter is
sent to us, we shall be perfectly ready to introduce it into
our columns. Wo can have no wish to do either the Por-
tuguese Government or its agents an injustice. In the
meanwhile we present our readers with a copy of the let-
ter from Messrs. Simpson and Cobb to which we have
made allusion. It will be found subjoined.

Government of Portugal, and we are desired to intimate
to you that we shall adopt such proceedings against you
as we may be advised so soon as the state of the Courts
permit us to do ss.
In the meantime we request to be informed whether
you will give up the name of the author of the libels in
question ; and we cannot help expressing our surprise
that any publication claiming the title of respectabilil
should lend itself to the circulation of statements so
utterly at variance with truth.
We are, Sir, your obedient servants,

HERALD.—The heaviness in the funds continues.
and as it may be said almost in the same proportion as the
chances of war, to judge from the tone of the French Mi-
nisterial press, appear to decline. Various rumours were
in circulation of course to account for the large deprecia-
tion. The gentral impression was, that from the long-
continued sacrifices of the Bank to support the exchanges,
to prevent the efflux, and at the same time to regain a
stock of bullion, such an expenditure or loss bad been
incurred that as a necessary consequence the rate of
dividend must be reduced, if not the next time, for the
future beyond, unless, so far as the amount would
serve, the Rest were to he encroached upon and
paid away in that shape. It is not impossible that
such a contraction of dividends may be forced upon
the Bank, for a time at least ; but although it is per-
fectly intelligible how the prices of the stock may be
thereby affected for the time, yet it is equally clear that
such a state of things may perfectly consist with a healthy
state of Bank action and without really damaging the va-
lue or security of the stock beyond a momentary depres-
sion in its market price. The notice, however, that such
an operation is now in course of preparation or adjustment
as the disposal of the " dead weight," either by private
treaty, or by bringing it to open market, appears to gain
ground, and is even assigned as the leading cause of the
depression of Bank Stock. It is not easy to understand
why this should be the effect, independent of other cir-
cumstances of the day more likely to act upon its value for
the time being. If the " dead weight "be disposed of or
brought to market it does not follow that any instant ne-
cessity exists for the money proceeds, or that in fact they
may ever be wanted in the shape of money.
The causes of the decline of Bank Stock, as of the funds,
must be sought elsewhere. That they are mainly referable
to the political considerations of the day can hardly be
doubted, for although the exchanges have not recovered in
any ratio corresponding to the expectations and calcula-
tions on the faith of which the Bank undertook a direct
and costly course of action upon them, and therefore in so
far no great or proportionate advantage has been derived
in the way of the inflow of bullion into the country so de-
sirable for replenishing the Bank coffers, yet neither has
the condition of the Bank been deteriorated in that respect
but the reverse to some extent, for it is now much better off
than when those exchange operations were commenced. It
seems scarcely probable that a demand to an amount so
considerable as to excite serious uneasiness should arise for
the export of gold in payment of imports of corn this
year, in view of the very auspicious state of the season
and the crops now ascertained in the country with tolerable
certainty ; and not only here but in France, where harvests
were contemporaneously deficient before, and therefore
where the demand contributed to raise prices upon us in
the great corn countries of the north and the Black Sea.
The accounts of the corn harvest are indeed extremely
favourable from all parts, both of Europe and America,
where the surplus of supply and the consequent cheapness
of price must of course re-act upon prices here, directly or
indirectly, according as the particular country is a constant
or occasional importer, or an invariable exporter. Inde.
pendent of casualties arising from war, or probabilities of
war, we must confess our own impression to be that ex•

gradually and slowly, that the
pro-
portionately be restored to a more healthy state however
arc
diLtory the process may seem and is felt.

Mr. JEkVIS stated the case on the first indictment, to the
effect that John Williams was by trade a joiner, and had
filled the office of a schoolmaster, and had also indulged
in the casting of nativities. He had latterly lived with his
parents at Tan-y-belch and Maentwreg ; and the other
prisoner was a plasterer, an illiterate man, residing in
Carnarvon. The prisoners, on the 31st of March, went
to the Black Horse, Conway, kept by a man of the name
of Roberts, and ascertaining that Roberts was not in,
they asked for change of a 101. note, which Roberts's
wife gave to them, and she deposited it in a cupboard.
It was shown to her husband on his return home, who
put it in the same place again. On the 7th of April
it was presented for payment to Mr. T. H. Evans,
spirit merchant, of Carnarvon, who was also a ma-
nager of a branch of the North and South Wales Bank,
who told them that it was a genuine 51. Bank of
England note, but that it had been most ingeniously
altered to a " ten-pounder," and was consequently a for-
gery. On the examination Williams admitted the ut-
tering, but Lewis denied that he had been at Conway
at all, either then or at any other time. (Mr. Jervis
exhibited the note, which appeared to have been most in-
geniously metamorphosed from a Si. to a 101,, the large
word " five" in the note being cut out, :and a piece of
genuine bank paper cut off the end of the note and neatly
pasted in the void, and the word " ten" stamped upon it.
The word " five" in the body was erased, and "ten"
stamped upon it. The water-mark "five" was neatly
traced over, with pale Indian ink, and various devices
were used to alter the face of the note, such as making
marks and dates, such as appear on the face of bank-notes
that have passed through several hands.) The Learned
Counsel then stated, that there were eight cases of distinct
utterings of genuine five-pound notes changed to tens by
Lewis. With respect to the case against Williams, the
Learned Counsel then stated, that early in the year Wil-
li ,ms and another man came to the Eagles, in Carnarvon,
and slept there, and Lewis visited them, and subsequently
the same parties stopped there again, and were again
visited by Lewis. Williams professed to court the servant
girl ; and in the middle of March he came alone, and told
her he was going to Dublin, but he retui tied in three
days with Lewis
; and on the 14th of March he wrote to
the servant (Mary Hughe) to say he should come to
see her, and that tho man who usually called with
him would let her know when ; and that man was Lewis.
She answered the letter, but by the hand of a third party,
and when these utterings were detected, Williams
(through the direction of that letter) was followed and
taken into custody, and, in consequence of what transpire:l,
Mr. Grindley, an attorney's clerk, who had given good
service to the detection of this forgery, went to the
house of Lewis's father, and on the top of the bed found
a horn writing case, in which were two horn dyes ofsthe
word " ten," for altering the notes. Subsequently Wil-
hams gave up the key of his box, and in some books with
Williams's name on them, marks on the horn dyes were
foued, as if they had been tried. A cese of Indian ink,
a camel's hair brush, and other articles used in completing
the forgery, were found in his box also. These circum-
stances, the learned counsel contended, established collu-
sion in the parties, and that when the utterings took pace
by Lewis, both parties were implicated, and bad a
guilty knowledge that the note was forged paid to Mrs.
Roberts, at Conway, being the subject matter of the first
i indictment on which the prisoners were being tried.
A host of witnesses were called to establish these facts.
Verdict—Guilty.

The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, remarked on
• the distinction between the cases, though he had no doubt
but the prisoner Lewis was equally implicated in the for-
gery as Williams. With respect to the latter prisoner,
it was within the knowledge of the Court that he had for
a long time been pursuing a career of iniquity, and from
the talent displayed by him, it was not safe that he should
have the opportunity of again returning into society. The
Court would take care that his punishment was of the
most extreme character. The sentence upon him was,
that he be transported for the space of his natural life, and
to one of the penal settlements. With respect to the pri-
soner Lewis, there were some mitigating circumstances
in his conduct which weighed with the Court. Still a
severe punishment was called for. The sentence of the
Court was, that he be transported for the space of ten
years.
The reader will have been prepared, from the outline of
the case stated above, for the very clever forgery; but un-
less the materials and the notes had been seen, only a
very faint idea can exist of the ingenuity exercised.
The dies must have been applied with the hand, and
the dots round the larger " ten" were put in with a
separate instrument. The deception was most complete,
so much so, that we understand a forged note from
the same manufactory found its way into the Bank of
England, and was only detected by reference to the
books. It is supposed that Williams had been at this
trade from about the middle of last year, and had had
various parties employed in putting them off. About
seventy are known to have been in circulation, and the
profit on each note to the putters-off was 385., leaving
to Williams 31. 2s. on each note for his ingenuity. He is
an old hand at thus transforming notes, as some years
since he was in custody on a charge of converting a 1/.
note into a 51., but escaped. A handbill was then
issued, offering a reward for his apprehension, which was
this day produced in Court. His talents appear to be some-
what varied and not confined to this branch. Since his
confinement he has been constantly plotting schemes to
escape from custody. lie was given some hemp to pick,
and managed to abstract a small quantity each day. Un-
fortunately for him, Mr. George, the gaoler, weighed the
article both when given out and returned, and, conse-
quently, was aware something was going on. He also
ascertained that Williams did not go to bed when locked
up in his cell. After the lapse of a few days he searched
his person, and found a very neat rope-ladder round his
body, manufactured out of the purloined hemp. He then
put the ingenious rogue in irons, and he contrived by
constant friction to wear them so as to render it a compara-
ctiovuerlysee,asayfttearskthtoesebreparkootfsheomf ohffishdiestleirrnmbisnaatnidonbotodyr.egaOinf

VIDLAND CIRCUIT- WARWICK, AUG. 13.

BuSANQUET V. BOLTON AND OTHERS.

Captain Barnet—lt might do so. The mate got in-
structions to put everything down, but I have not the
log here. I admit at once that I have punished the
lad for bad conduct, but I deny altogether that I
punished him severely, and it would be impossible to
do anything in a ship if apprentices were to have their
own way.

The LORD MAYOR—In what condition was the boy
when he deserted the ship
Captain Barnet—ln excellent condition, and per-
fectly sound in every respect. As soon as I found that
he was gone, I went off to the Consul, who immediately
ordered a search, and it was found that he had gone up
the mountains.

The LORD MAYOR—TO what do you attribute his
desertion ? Captain Barnet—The place is full of dissi-
pation. It abounds with grog-shops, and the owners
encourage seamen to desert, in order that they may
have the profit of their company, and of supplying their
places with other hands. I lost seven or eight men,
and I was obliged to engage four. No doubt this boy
will come home by and by.
William Blake, one of the men summoned by Mrs.
Mellon to give evidence, stated that he had joined the
ship in 18;36, and of course knew Arthur Mellon, her
son. Did not know why the lad had left the ship, but
had seen bias frequently flogged with a cat of-nine-
tails.
The LORD MAYOR—HOW did the lad conduct him-
self ? Blake—l can't give him the best of characters.
The LORD MAYOR—DO you know for what he was
punished ? Blake—No.

The LoitD MAvolt—\Vas it the ordinary punish-
went inflicted for the disobedience of orders or offences
of that class? Blake—l don't know. The Captain
best knows what it was for.

Mrs. Mellon (to Blake)—You're afraid to speak out.
You told me that he was most cruelly beaten by the
Captain, that he was half-murdered and half-starved.
Blake—No, no, I did not.

The LORD MAYOR—Were you on short al:owance
Blake—Ne; or.

The LORD MAYOR—And had the lad a regula al-
lowance ? Blake—He had the same as the

Mrs. Mellon—You told me he had only three pounds
and a half of bread a week, and that he was half-killed,
I never deviate from the truth ; as sure as God is above
us, you told me that.

The LORD MAYOR—Was the punishment excessive ?
Blake—l've seen him flogged several times.
_ _

Mr. Hobler—You know one another's faults, what
was he flogged for ? Blake—The Captain best knows,
I can't say.
Mr. Hobler—You know perfectly well. It is absurd
to say that you saw a boy brutally flogged without
knowing why. _

The LORD Maron —Flow many ran away? Blake—
Three deserted from the ship.
The Loan NlAYoa—ls so large a desertion unusual ?
Blake—Certainly it is unusual.

Blake, in answer to questions from a gentleman who
attended on the part of the owners, admitted that he
had himself been put under arrest by the Captain, and
that he had brought an action against the Captain, in
which he was defeated.

William Weygood, the other seaman summoned by
Mrs. Mellon, stated that ha too had seen the boy flogged
several times.

The plaintiff represented the London and Westminster
Bank ; the defendants were sued as partners of the Lea-
mington Bank. A judgment had been obtained against
the latter bank for 13,0004, but the defendants sought to
protect themselves from the judgment by alleging they
were not partners at the time it was obtained. The bank
in question first commenced business on the 11th of May,
1835, and suspended payments on the 12th of July, 1837.
The defence, in the first instance was, that the defen-
dants, or one of them, was not a partner at the time in
question, he having neglected to pay up his calls, so that
a forfeiture had taken place. It was also made a ground
of defence that the defendant Bolton bad transferred his
shares a day or two before the bank suspended its opera-
tions, and therefore that he had no further interest in its
concerns. It was, however, proved in the cross-examina-
tion of the defendants' witnesses that the proper and usual
course had not been observed in the transfer, and that,
notwithstanding such transfer. Bolton had always been
served with the usual letters to attend special and annual
meetings.
The CHIEF JUSTICE said there was no use in letting the
case go to the Jury. He should decide the objections at
present in favour of the plaintiff, reserving leave to the de-
fendants to move to enter a nonsuit.
Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Hill and Mr. Humfrey ;
for the defendants, Mr. Sergeant Goulburn and Mr. Hayes.

The Lord MAYOR—Did you consider that he de-
served to be flogged ? Weygood—Sometimes I thought
he did.
The LORD MAYoß—What were his vices or his faults ?
Weygood—He was rather dirty.
Mrs. Mellon—Never in his life. My poor boy was
never dirty. If he WAS turned dirty, he must have been
beaten into stupidity. He never was so at home.
The LORD MAYOR—W hat sort was his temper and
conduct ? Weygood—Not good.

SUN.—We are sorry to be still unable to notice
any improvement in the Foreign Exchanges. The
rate this atternoon for bills on Paris was 25f. 45e. to
50e. ; on Amsterdam, 12 .
to 12 l ;on Hamburgh,
13 8 to 13 8-/ ; and on Frankfort, 1491 to 1498.
The most marked feature in the English Stock Ex-
change to-day is a further fall of 2i per cent. in Bank
Stock, even on the reduced quotation a: which the
latest sales were made yesterday afternoon, the depres-
sion being from 173 and 1714 to 1684 to 169 g. This
of course eis attributable to the rumours in circulation
respecting an expected sale of some part of the Dead
Weight or Annuities held by the Corporation. The
other Securities were all lower also, sales continuing
to be made freely, under the apprehension that hosti-
lities will before long break out in the East.
From Malta, however, and most of the Mediterranean
ports, we have intelligence of the busy note of prepara-
tion among the English and French squadrons, while
Ithe advices from Prussia notice the disbandment of
the tro-years battalions, as they arc te-med,—a mea-
sure which, as is justly observed, the new King would
not be likely to take, if he apprehended a war. Consols
for immediate transfer dropped from 908 to 901, closing
at 90.. For time there was a good deal of business
done at 90-i to 90t. the latest bargains being
at 904 hyers. Exchequer Bills ranged from 255. to
235. premium ; end East India Bonds from par to 2s.
discount, both being heavy at these rates. The value
of Eng: India Stock was steady at 254.
The Foreign Stocks, except Portuguese, ranged gene-
rally lower. Spanish Active Bonds were done at 254

They have already, we understand. effected some very "
tensive purchases from the original grantees. They icte' Ja
to hold the land until they can re-sell it at the rate of, 14

The LORD MAYOR—Was the boy punished more
than he ought to have been punished for what he had
done ? Weygood--I have very often seen him pun-
ished, but I have never seen him struck with a hand-
spike, as his mother has said, nor have I ever seen him
put upon short allowance. I heard him say, before we
got into the bay, that he would leave the ship, and he
left it in perfect health.

The gentleman who attended on the part of the ow-
ners, said that those gentlemen considered Captain
Barnet to be a man of the greatest humanity, and
placed therefore a decided reliance on his judgment
and discretion.

Capt. Barnet repeated that he had exercised no more
than wholesome castigation towards the boy, who was
extremely filthy and obstinate, and had other vices
which required more severe correction than they re-
ceived.
The LORD MAYOR said that he had no reason to be-
lieve that the Captain had acted with cruelty, or de-
served the reproaches of Mrs. Mellon, for whose feel-
ings, however, every allowance was to be made. It was,
his Lordship considered, important to both parties that
the investigation had been entered into at the
Mansion-house, as the complainant received assurance
of her son's health, and the probability of his safe and
speedy return, and the Captain was acquitted of unwar-
runtabie severity.

BOW-S7'REET.
Yesterday Sir George Cockburn appeared before
Mr. Hall to prefer a complaint against Wm. Higgins,
driver of a cabriolet, No. 112, for demanding and
taking from him an illegal fare.
It appeared that on Monday, the 10th inst. the
complainant called the cab at Morley's Hotel, Charing
Cross, and having kept it for about three hours trans-
acting business in different parts of town, he, upon dis-
charging the defendant, asked what his demand might
be, when in a very civil manner he said that he would
prefer charging by time rather than by distance, and
his demand was seven shillings as he had been occu-
pied three hours and a half. The complainant differed
with him as to the time, for at the utmost it could not
be more than three hours, and as to the charge he
could not be entitled to such a sum, but he expressed
his willingness to pay that sum, with the understanding
that ho would taka out a summons. He was then asked
for his list of -rates and fares, which he could
not produce. Complainant said he considered it would
be attended with great benefit to the public if such an
arrangement was made among hackney coachmen, as is
the case in Dublin, where it was found to work well.
Mr. HALL inquired if any person happened to be
with the complainant at the time ?
Sir George—Oh, I have no witness except my little
grandson, and he has gone to school.—(A laugh.)

SEATON.--THE CONVULSION AT BENDON
CLIFFS, AND PROBABLE DISCOVERY OF A VALUABLE COP-
, PER MINE.—A recent inspection of this interesting pheno-
menon by an intelligent Cornish miner, belonging to the
Basset mine, noar Odruth, seems to opon a new field for
research ; the result of a minute examination produced on
his mind a firm conviction that the disturbance had been
ecasioned by the explosion of a lode of copper ore, symp.
toms of which, he said, were apparent in every direction.
Specimens for essay have been sent to the Mining Com-
pany, and which he has pronounced to be exceedingly
rich, He has no doubt but the lode is extensive, and at
no great depth. If in addition to the facts which have
bean already too evident to suppose the cause (so posi_
tively insisted upon by our learned geologists verbally, and
by mechanical exhibition) to have originated through the
combined influence of rain and fox-mould—if, we say, cop.
per ore should be produced in tolerable abundance, cause
and effect cannot have been understood, and theory, how-
t ver beautiful it may be to intelligent minds, must submit.
Shonld the specimens turn out according to expectation,
this convulsion, hitherto deemed so disastrous to the pro-
prietors of the disturbed lands may be the means of dis-
clt.sing an inexhaustible source of invaluable wealth.—
