PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.
(From the Dorset County Chronicle, Nov, 4.)
Never perhaps was a more extraordinary case
of the kind submitted to the consideration of any criminal tri.
burial. than that of Mr. Fauntleroy the London Banker, who on
Saturday last was found guilty of Forgery. The conversation in
all the circles of the Metropolis turns on nothing but his infatu-
ated guilt, and the inexplicable negligence of his liartners. The
case divested of its technicalities is thin :—A bank is established
in 1793: it gets into difficulties in 1794: a new
partner comes
in in 1796, but the difficulties still continue. At length in
1806 a young man, only twenty-two, hi taken in as a partner;
and from that time to the month of September last, he is the
sole active partner : he wards off all dangers, he provides re-
sources in all emergencies; he enables the 13ank to meet a de-
mand of 170,000!. at one time, and 100,0001. at another; while
his partners, far from seconding these efforts, draw out
100,0004 between two of them, while a •third absents him-
self for two years on the Continent. Bow is it that the
managing partner is enabled thus wonderfully to support for
years the credit of an embarrassed and needy establishment ?
By a systematic continued plan of Forgery !—Forgery carried
on not to supply any personal wants or vices of his own but
wholly and solely to save the firm from bankruptcy ! This
would seem to savour of insanity; but the person who pur-
sued so criminal a course was a most steady, regular, clever,
and decorous man of business ; he was in exterior mild, gen.
tlemanlike, and prepossessing; in sentiment liberal and hu.
mane; in apparent conduct strictly honest and honourable....
But the extraordinary circumstances of the case do not
rest here. Thin clever, artful perpetrator of fraud had
recorded and kept by him with the utmost care a deli-
berate avowal of his guilt written. list of his forgeries !
statement of the strange and unprecedented motives
which led him knowingly and wilfully to put to hazard
his character and his life ! Those motives were twofold,
to sustain the credit of his house, and to revenge himself on
the Bank of England which had refused to discount the bills of
,
Mr. Fauntleroy's arm ! This document was produced on his
trial. Some persons say he did not expect it to appear, having
supposed that it way destroyed ; but this does not appear to
have been the case ; fbr he betrayed no surprise when it was
read; and his defence (if defence it may be called) seemed to
admit all that this paper contained. Of the guilt of the un-
happy man, not a shadow of doubt remains. That the prero.
gative of mercy can be extended to him it is quite irrational to
suppose ; an attempt was made (and properly made) by his
Counsel to avert his fate, by a motion in arrest of judg-
ment : the result of which will be seen in another column.
Dismissing the consideration of this wretched person's
fate, it may not be improper to aidvert to .the circumstances
in which his partners are placed. It is, quite u new eir.
cumstanee that any thing like a suspicion of dishonesty should
be thrown on a London banking.bouse; but when one partner
has been proved to be so-deeply implicated in guilt, we may be
there will be persons who will not hesitate to impeach
ttyliesucnduct
the other partners. Without giving entire cre-
dit to these suspicions, it does certainly appear verrextraordi-
nary that persons habituated to business should have gone on
for so many yearn without on attempt to develope the extraor-
dinary insane by avhich Mr. Fauntleroy supported the credit of
their house. -Most persons in London believe that there is much:
yet behind the curtain ; and though we cannot "pretend to such
accurate means of judgment in the country,'We cannot but be-
lieve that more disclosures will yet he made, of the state of the
Banking E4stablistment to which Mr. Fauntleroy belonged.

SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.

THE YEARLY EPISTLE OF THE SOCIETY OF
FRIENDS, 1824.

DEAR Fstrnips—The benefit of which we have, through
the mercy of the Lord, been permitted on former occasions to
partake, have not been withheld from us in the course of the
present meeting. We have had to rejoice in the company one
of another, and this has been to many of us a time of
the renewal of our spiritual strength, and of the be-
lief that our Heavenly Father is still graciously disposed to
bless us as a religious society. Under the animating influence of
his love, we again address you in brotherly affection, desiring
that " grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and
Christ Jesus our Lord," may abound amongst you.
Great indeed are the advantages of outward religious com-
munion. It promotes humility, by checking that disguised
pride which induces an undue confidence in our own opinions,
or in our spiritual attainments, and by leading us to esteem
others in the Lord as better than ourselves. In the proper
support of it, we are called upon to be tender of the reputation
and character one of onother ; to watch over each other for
good ; and, when these Christian duties are practised as they
ought to be, we are taught the great value of the care and
counsel of our friends. In the fellowship of the Gospel, we are
cheerfully disposed to bear one another's burdens, and thus ful-
fil the law of Ctirist ; and we come to participate in those joys
and conflicts which await our fellow-travellers towards the city
of God. Let us then, beloved friends, be unremitting in our
endeavours to maintain " the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace."
aidedb e ourtte:

But it is highly needful for us to consider in what way this
unity is most effectually promoted. It was the language of our
Holy Redeemer, " One is your Master, even Christ; and all
ye are brethren." And can we expect to become entitled to
this endearing appellation, by any other means, than by striv-
ing in all things to become the servants of this gracious Mas-
ter ? Ah ! then, if, in the love of' the Gospel, we could but per-
suade all our dear friends to be daily aspiring after the highest
of attainments, that of being a meek and self-denying disciple
of the Lord Jesus Christ !—Each of us has his part to act, and
to each it is of infinite importance that he acts aright; and we
have been at this time convinced that if this were our primary
individual concern, there would be more firmness of Christian
character amongst us—more decided attachment to that which
we believe to be the law of our God—more of a separation
from the world, and its various allurements—greater devoted.
ness of heart to the service of Him whom we acknowledge
as the Author of all our blessings. May we then pursue the
path of Christian obedience, and be animated in the remem-
brance of that divine assurance, " If thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be full of light."

in
the truth from which you may not be shaken.
And we are, at this time, anxiously, yet affectionately con•
concerned to warn all our beloved brethren to guard against
some of the obvious temptations of the present day. Specula-
tions of any kind which may seem to hold out the prospect of a
rapid accumulation of wealth, greatly endanger that tranquil-
lity of mind to which we have entitled. They often involve
in perplexities, which disqualify us for exercising a patient de-
pendence upon him from whom cometh our strength. They are
very apt to lead into acts unbecoming the character of upright
men, and in some cases their effect are deplorably felt Isy Irmo-
cent sufferers. They expose to the danger of violating our re-
ligious testimonies to the simplicity of the Gospel of Christ :
they often arise from the love of money, anti encourage that
racier of a people who believe in the necessity of being redeemed
eager pursuit after riches, which is inconsistent with the chit-
from the spirit of this world.
We are aware that many of our dear friends may at the pre-
sent time, in seeking for a fair means of gaining a livelihood,
and in the regular conducting of their outward concerns, be
subjected to peculiar difficulties. In the competition of trade,
they may he tempted to do that which endangers their own
peace of mind, and disturbs the harmony of' society. We would
tenderly counsel all these, whilst they cherish a disposition to
honest industry, to let their wants be few ; to keep to habits of
moderation and economy, but at the same time abhorring cove-
tousness ; anti, above all, so to live and so to act, that they may
be able to place a humble reliance on the blessing and care of
the Almighty, and to follow the exhortation of the Apostle
In every timing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiv-
ing, let your requests be made known unto God." And we
desire that a Christian example in others, who are not subjected
W the same difficulties, may strengthen them in these good re-
solutions.
In contemplating the temptations incident to human life, our
thoughts are again turned to the responsible situation of parents
and others who have the care of children. Much depends, under
the divine blessing, upon the early formation of character. We
therefore earnestly recommend to all who have the charge of
youth, to embrace the first opportunities to instil into their ten.
der and susceptible minds correct principles of piety and vir-
tue ; in reverent fear to speak to them of him who made them,
and of him who died for them ; anti to turn their attention to
the discoveries of the Spirit of Truth. It is of great importance
that every endeavour should be used, in love, to check the evil
propensities of their nature, to commitl their will, to induce
habitual reverence for God, and the solemn truths of the Gos-
pel, and to lay the foundation of that humble faith in redernp.
non through Christ, and to the teachings of the Holy Spirit,
which we believe to be the basis of the Christian edifice.
Calmness and firmness on such occasions, and indeed in the
daily occurences of life—precept enforced by consistent example
are well calculated to command respect, and to give the most
beneficial effect both to restraint anti counsel. When true pa.
rental love, regulated by the love of Christ abiding in the heart,
is thus exercised, it often produces obedience and corresponding
love in the child. In this parental love, a watchful care is main.
tamed with regard to his associates ; and this dangerous avenue
to evil is sedulously guarded. On the same principle, the atten-
tive parent will exercise a diligent care, that the minds of his otf-
springs arc not contaminated by the perusal of such books as
would induce a disregard for the tendering visitations of divine
love, or a disrelish either for the truths of 1-loly Scripture, for the
society of good men, or for the narratives of those, who,
through the power of redeeming love, have been prepared to
enter into eternal rest. Thus we may see that that which is of
the world leadeth unto the world, whilst that which is of God
leadeth unto God.
Although we do not find it to be out place now to allude se.
verally to those Christian duties which annually claim our at.
tention, we have not been unmindful of their importance.
Amongst other testimonies which we believe ourselves called
upon to bear to the purity of Christian dispensation, is that
against the payment of tithes and all other ecclesiatical de-
mands. The amount of the suErings of our friends, in
Great Britain and Ireland, on this account, as reported to this
Meeting, including the charges of prosecution and distraint,
and a few demands of a military nature, is upwards of thir.
teen thousand nine hundred pounds.
Whilst our attention has been more especially turned to the
religious welfare of our own Society, we have observed with
pleasure, in our usual exchange of Epistles with our dear
friends of Ireland, and of the various Yearly Meetings on the
American Continent, that they also are interested for the pros-
perity of truth, anti that the state of the descendants of the
African race, and that of the Indian natives, have respectively
claimed their sympathy, and excited them to active benevo-
lence on their behalf.
The Slave-trade, with its inseparable horrors, and the gra-
dual but total abolition of Slavery' continue to be objects of
deep interest in our view, and although we have not found it ,
to be our duty, us a religious body, to be frequently appearing,
by any public act,
as advocates of humanity and justice, we
would again commend injured Africa and her offspring to
to the commiseration of' every one amongst us. And we warm-
ly
desire that the moral and religious improvement of every
class of our tellow.men, and the alleviation of their sufferings
and distress may ever obtain that aid and sympathy, which, in
the unlimited love of the Gospel of Christ, should be extended '
towards the whole human race.
" Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly,
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that
worketh in us,
unto him be glory in the church by Christ
Jesus, throuisht all ages, world without end. Amen."
Signed in and on behalf of the Meeting, by
JOSIAH FORSTER, Clerk to the Meeting tbis Year.

BOXING MATCH.

BATTLE BETWEEN NCI) TURNER AND PEARCIiI
INGLIS,
AT COLNBROOK, YESTERDAY, FOR A STAKE or 200

SOVEREIGNS.
As the pickpockets were engaged at the Lord
Mayor's Show, the attendance at the fight yesterday was very
scanty, and the more so, as many who were staunch supporters
of the Ring have withdrawn in disgust.
Turner, in very had condition. was beat by Inglis some
months ago, or rather he was beat by dissipated habits, for he
had scarcely a hit. This was the man who had put the in-
vulnerability of tscroggins upon the shelf, who had so ably
stood against Randal, and defeated Martin, obliged to yield
to a man in no point his equal, bat in courage. A second
match was made, and Turner, under the care of his uncle,
Baxter, has been training over the nionetains of Wales more
than three months, shut up from boosing, and inhaling his
native air, until the frame and tone of the man became invi,
gorated. He went into the ring yesterday himself again, un
like the 'scape-death exhibited by his person before. Inglis

stood as before most part of the battle-money.—A few minutes
