BANKERS—The London and Westminster 14ank ; and
Messrs. Ladbroke Kingscote, and Co.
SOLICITORS—Messrs. Kearsey, Hughes, and Thomas.
The LORD MAYOR asked whether Mr. Fischer's trans-
action was the only one complained of?
The Solicitor to the British and Ausfralasian B2nk
said there were several ethers to the best of his belief, but
his clients were by no means responsible.
The LORD MAYOR thought that if parties recognised

tioned in the list, which included twenty-two in different
parts of the country.
Mr. Crouch pointed out in the advertisement a note,
stating that agents would shortly be appointed for other
towns and places in the United Kingdom, and applications
from banks and bankers would be preferentiall-y considered.
The Solicitor to the Braise and Australasian Bank ob.
served that any one who would take the trouble to read
what preceded the list, would see that the agency merely
referred to the sale of the shares of the Bank. It would,
he declared, be quite absurd to suppose that the British
and Australasian Bank would be at all responsible for the
pecuniary transactions of those named, however re-
spectable.
__

The LORD MAYOR-Then you mean that this list of
agents has no reference whatever to the money matters of
the Bank?

Mr. Boucher—Not the least. We never received the
money to which the transaction described refers, and Mr.
Fisher must go against Mr. Gough or the Chatham Bank
for the recovery of his money.
Mr. Nobler intimated to the Lord Mayor that Mr. Fis-
cher was evidently led by the publication which contained
the list of agents, to trust his money to the handy of Mr.
Gough, who, in the order which ho had givm to that gen-
tleman, had taken care to make his agency as apparent and
as important as possible.
Mr. Crouch stated that Mr. Gough persevered in de.
claring that he was the agent of the British and Australa-
sian Bank.
The Solicitor to the British and Australasian Bank—
And we deny his agency in the most positive manner, and
are proceeding against him at this moment,
The LORD MAYOR—.Wc.II; this poor foreigner, who was
so anxious to make his mother comfortable, is the sufferer.
I wish that some service could be rendered to him.

lhncher—We are desirous to render the injured
man any service in our power, but we have nothing what-
ever to do with this transaction.
The Solicitor to the British and Australasian Bank
No bank is conducted upon more honourable principles
than that which is represented by Mr. Boucher, and every
thing that can be done shall be done to obtain reparation
for Mr. Fischer.

The LORD MAYOR—I feel confidant that you will do all
you can.

The parties then withdrew.

FORGERY oN THE BANK OF ENGLAND.--.
On Wednesday, a man of the name of Bradnock and Sarah
Pritchett,, were committed to take their trial at Warwick for
forging Bank of England notes to a great amount. They were
surprised by the police working at a press, and easting off five-
pound and ten-pound notes. It is understood that a consider

able number of the forged notes manufactured by these polies
sontrs have accomplices or agents to promote their circulation,
both in London and the provinces. An order from Manchester
for several thousand pounds of the forged notes was found in
the possession of one of the prisoners. The police are actively
engaged in endeavouring to apprehend the parties, who are
suspected of having had extensive dealings with the prisoner?.
" The peculiar vibrating quality of the metal of

combining with their structure, render them highly calculated

a natural extension of the ear, admit, and concentrate the most
trifling sound ; and by thus encouraging its action on the seat
of hearing, tend progressively to remove the aural defect. It
is most gratifying to observe that their form Is so adapted to

QUEEN VICTORIA.—The p

with pleasure that a new work is on the eve of publication, eta.
bodying the many interesting and important events and incl.
dents which have already marked the career_ of her Majesty.
It is to be entitled
" Queen Victoria—front her Birth to her
Bridal," and will, we under stand, comprise numerous original
anecdotes and traits of the youth of Victoria never before pub.
lished, and which have been imparted to the author by certain
noble personages, who had opportunities of seeing much of the
young Prineess--a very graceful account of the Coronation and
the Royal Bridal, from the pen of a distinguished female writer,
who was present on both those occasions—several delightful
letters of Miss Porter, &c. At a time when public sympathy
and interest are attracted in so remarkable a degree towards
the person of her Majesty, and her Royal Consort, such a work,
produced under such circumstances, cannot fail to be cordially
received by the whole British nation.
