SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—As far as regards the further circulation
of the forgeries, all apprehension may now cease ; for
there are but three ways in which the Exchequer Bills
now outstanding can be passed. First, by sale in the
public market, where, of course, none will be bought ex-
cept from respectable parties, who will be personally re-
sponsible for the validity of the documents. Secondly,
by paying them into the Bank of England in part of the
recent funding—in which case, by the adoption of the
suggestion in our paper of yesterday, and the well.known
vigilance of the Chief Cashier of the Bank of England,
who is now empowered to withhold the scrip until
the genuineness of the subscribed bills has been tested,
there will be no difficulty in stopping all that are for-
geries. There is a third method by which they may
be passed, namely, by presenting them for renewal
in March or June, at the office of the Paymaster of
Exchequer Bills ; but here, by comparison with the
counterfoils, there will be an easy test of their s alidity.
Upon the discovery being first made, all parties who
brought forged bills to the office were allowed to take
them away, it being merely intimated that the instru-
ments were invalid ; but Lord Monteagle has now
most properly decided that all the documents presented
at his department, which are found to be hauciutent,
shall be retained ; and the decision of the Government,
acting, of course, under legal advice, will guide his
Lordship in the use to be hereafter made of them. The
greatest attention is shown by the Comptroller-General
and his subordinates to all parties applying for aid or
advice, and Lord Monteagle is indefatigable in his per-
sonal exertions to investigate the wbr,le transaction, as
well as to remedy as far as possible the inconvenience that
must arise from it. It is true that some of the bills paid
in during the week for the recent funding arc ascertained
to be forged; but this circumstance is matter of congratu-
lation, rather than regret, because, by the present arrange-
ment of withholding the scrip until the validity of the ? üb-
scribed Billeis proved, those that arc spurious will fallinto
the proper hands—the hands of the Government. The
reason why Mr. Smith selected nil the higher numhzrw
for his forgeries is this,—that it is customary at the
Exchequer Bill-office to give out the lower numbers
to individuals, and to take the supply for the Bank
of England from the documents on which the dis-
tinguishing figures are of the largest amount ; and hs
the latter are mer:_•ly deposited, never finding their
way into the market, it was very unlikely that a forged
bill would come into collision with another of its owl
number—for the valid bill would most probably be
lying in the chest of the establishment alluded tn. Mr.
Smith was aware of the practice of the Exchequer Bill-
office, as well as of the custom pursued at the Bank of
England, and his knowledge, of course. enabled him to
carry on his system with greater ifacility.
STANDARD.---It would be worse than idle to
attempt to contradict in detail the malicious falsehoods
which form the staple of the articles which appear from
day to day in the morning and evening organs of
the late Government. We had hoped that their viru-
lence, had nearly worn itself out, but we find that we
I have reckoned without our host. There never was
a period when a Sovereign of these realms so elm-
p'etely occupied the minds and hearts of a people
as does her Majesty Queen Victoria at the present
moment. At no time within our recollection has the
affectionate loyalty of the people of England been more
strikingly demonstrated ; and we cordially respond
to the suggestion of our erteemed contempo-
rary, the Morning Herald, that it the hopes of the
nation be real.sen
,by the birth of a tnale heir to
the British Throne, an event so auspicious should be
signalised "by the revival of an ancient, but long
disused custom,"—the " proclaiming of liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the prison-doors to them
that are bound." Such is the moment—when millions
of her loyal and devoted subjects are looking with the
deepest anxiety for the news of her Majesty's delive-
rance from an hour of peril, which she is called upon to
share with the meanest of her subjects—that is selected
by the Globe for dragging, for [ aTty purposes, her
Majesty's name into its columns, and associating
with it statements ns false and malignant as
they arc indecent. There is not a subject of
Conservative principles in her Majesty's dominions
who will not indignantly repudiate the gratuitous
and, we must add, profligate assertion of the Globe
of last evening, that " her Majesty's health is now
dispensed with at Conservative feasts." And what is
the occasion selected for the promulgation of this
falsehood ? One on which every heart is animated,
we bore and believe, by sentiments of affec-
tionate anxiety for her Majesty's welfare—an anxiety
approaching •.noro nearly to the feeling with which her
subjects usually regard approaching pain and peril to
members of their own families, than to any sentiment of
mere abstract loyalty and devotion to a Sovereign. Such
is, we repeat it, the juncture selected by the protege of
the late Government for irreverently mixing up the
Queen's name with the most malignant and groundless
calumnies. If thisbe loyalty it is of a description to which
Conservatives make, we readily admit, no pretension.
But if loyalty, in the best and truest acceptation of
the term, may be presumed to exist in hearts occupied
at this interesting crisis of a nation's hopes by ono feel-
ing of affectionate and anxious solicitude for her welfare,
then we are satisfied that there is not a Conservative in
her dominions who is not entitled to claim credit for it.
COURIER.—The Morning Herald has conferred
a real service on the community interested in the re-
sult of the enormous frauds committed in the Ex-
chequer Billo-ffice, by its reprint of the case of Ro-
bert Aslett, tried in the year 1803 at the Old Bailey
Sessions for " embezzling effects," which effects were
Exchequer Bills, the property of the Bank of Eng-
land. The case of Mr. Bowman Smith, the culprit in
the present instance, and the circumstances under which
the Exchequer Bills were prepared and issued by him,
present, in the more important features, a remarkable
analogy with the facts thus detailed in the case of As-
lett. In the first place, as the Herald observes, to whose
article we refer elsewhere, it was held " that Exchequer
Bills, issued as valid bills by the authority of Government,
though signed with the name of the Auditor of the Ex-
chequer, by a person not legally authorised to sign them,
and therefore forgeries, constitute effects in the hands of
bona fide purchasers, and that the innocent holders
have a claim on the justice of the Government fin•
their payment." It does not strictly appear as yet that
the bills issued by Bowman Smith are "forgeries," and
we incline to think it will be found they do not
range within that category ; if so, the claim of the
holders is so much the more fortified. In the second
place, it may be contended that they were not issued
by the " authority of Government." But here, again,
how is the " authority of Government" to be in- 1
terpretated except through the acts of its accredited
agents ? Bowman Smith was that accredited agent, 1
being described in the Revel Kalendar, a work of
authority we presume, as "'Senior Clerk in the office
for issuing Exchequer Bills:' Here he is connected
direct with the Government in the special depart-
ment from which all Exchequer Bills must ema-
nate, and therefore the department and the
party which represented the connexion and in-
tromission direct between the Government and the
public. We cannot, therefore, but come to the con-
clusion that the holders of Exchequer Bills so issued
and placed in circulation, whether forged or embezzled,
have a legal as well as equitable right of indemnifica-
tion, when held against value bona fide paid, and un-
tainted otherwise with fraud or collusion with fraud.
The stock-gambling story of Bowman Smith, the con-
tested criminal now awaiting trial, is but a repetition in
is main features of the notorious case of Aslett.

DESTRUCTION OF DERBY TOWN HA L
With referenee to the late fire, particulars of which ap-
peared in our last paper, the Derby Meretry of this
week says :—" From the evidence it appears that the
fire originated in the Committee-room, No. 6, in
which there han been a fire on the previous evening.
The town-clerk's office was undergoing repairs, and
two men were at work there with a light until half-past
eight o'clock ; but the place where the fire was first
perceived was exactly underneath the hearth of the
fire place in the Committee-room. The fire was
purely accidental, and no blame seems justly imput-
able to any one. The building was insured for 5,0001.
in the Nottingham and Derbyshire Fire Office,
who (though the policy was not renewed, as it
ought to have been, in consequence of the recent alter-
ations), have honourably agreed to pay the amount.
We should suppose that the loss to the town will be some-
thing like 1,0011., as the lonic pillars which supported
the portico, worth 1,0001., arc but little damaged, and the
foundations, ece,, will be available for the new building.
Three aims, and theinsdrance, it is expected will suffice.
5,0001. insurance

from his application to the science, may be regarded es
an authority; and he, to his surprise, at once perceived
that he had before him a superior specimen for the pere-
grine falcon, and foramately a female bird, which he at
once purchased. She is now under the process of re
clamation, is of exceedingly good temper, Well propor-
tioned, powerful, and, he thinks, will make a first-rate
bird for rook-hawking.
A KEEPER OF SFenET6.—(From 4 Malta
paper.)— We have no news from Egypt and Syria that
would interest you. The affair of Tunis too lucks little
likely to be as productive for u:, newspaper folks as it
promised, and we have gotten a sour curmudgeon of a
non-newspaper loving sailor for an Admiral, who seems
to think that his secret orders, received or given, arc not
the property of
the press. Ido not mean anything per-
sonal, but shall ask, is it likely that Sir John Outman-
ney, or any other sea monster afloat, will be suffered to
retain a command who is capable of a sentiment or an
immorality like those conveyed in the
following anec-
dote :—Very lately he was reminded that his predeces-
sors did not hesitate to communicate intelligence to par-
ties who would make it reach the light. " Did they?"
(asked the naughty lump of pitch and tar), '6 Then I'll
he d—d if I du!" Now, there's a fellow to have a flag!
There's a fellow to be entrusted with- secrets! -See that
he be superseded de suite.
