The change in the Chester Cup quotations are few in num-

in a alight degree Clumsy fluctuated between 22 and 25 to 1,
cloding at the solider odds, and the Magnet from 50 to 1 to
40 to 1, leaving off' in request with two or three parties.
The other horses mentioned were backed at the previous
quotations, and only to moderate amounts. A few blows

SOUTHAMPTON MARCH 11.—CHARGH OF FORGERY.--
.A case of forgery has, during the past week, occupied the
attention of our borough justices, and excited a large amount
of interest in the town. The fasts of the case are simply
these :—Oa Friday week last, a lad presented a cheque
for 381. 18a. at the bank of Messrs. Atherly and Fall,
purporting to be drawn by Mr. Cooper (a brewer of the
town) on Mr. J. Roe (a builder). The cashier paid
the boy in 51. notes, sovereigns, and silver, and the cheque
vas shortly afterwards discovered to be forged. On DifoA-.
&lay morning one of the 51. notes was paid into the bank
'with other moneys by the toll-collector of the pier, and
inquiries being made, the note was traced back to
the possession of a man named Robert Hazleden,
who changed it on Saturday morning at the Pier
Hotel. In answer to inquiries, Hazleden said that on
'Friday afternoon a man accosted him in the street, asking
:hbn to give him change for two notes, which he did;
that he subsequently changed one of the notes at the Pier
Hotel, and the other at the Union Hotel. The clerk of the
bank accompanied Hazleden to the latter hotel, and the
:note was discovered to be another of those obtained on the
:forged cheque. Subsequently, the other five notes were
found by some boys in a ditch, which ditch the prisoner and
bank clerk passed in going to the latter hotel. Hazleden
was consequently gicen into custody, and underwent two
(examinations before the magistrate. In the mean time the
boy who carried the cheque to the bank came forward, and
being taken to the gaol where the prisoner was confined,
immediately selected him as the man who gave him the
.cheque. He said that the prisoner met him in the street,
and offered him a shilling if he would take the cheque to get
it cashed ; that lie obtained the cash, and gave it to the
prisoner. A former employer of the prisoner proved the
great similarity between his writing and that on the cheque.
The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next

Summer Assizes.
On the evening of Monday last, a fire broke out in
Lochend House, the seat of Sir George Warrender, Bart.
It at one time bore a most alarming aspect; but, happily, by
the prompt measures use., it was speedily got under, and
finally extinguished. The house was full of company at the
time. The fire seems to have been occasioned by overheating
the flues in the scullery room, and thereby igniting the sur•
rounding lath and other combustible materials.—Edinbuigh
Advertiser.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE MILLWALL CHEMICAL
Worms.—Yesterday evening, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Blue
Lion, Montague-street, Spitalfields, on the body of James Barclay,
aged sixty years. Deceased was a labourer at Messrs. Pontifcx's
chemical works, at Millwah, Poplar. On Tuesday fortnight he was,
as usual, attending some portion of the machinery driven by steam,
having to stand on a plank elevated a few feet from the ground,
when he turned giddy, and, in endeavouring to preserve his balance,
his hand caught in the cogs of one of the wheels, by which he was
much lacerated. He was taken to the Dreadnought hospital-ship,
where the wound was dressed, and he was subsequently attended at
home by a medical gentleman, but erysipelas supervened, and he
died OR Sunday last. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental
Death." - -

FUNERAL OP THE MURDERED POLICE-CONSTABLE.
The funeral of police-constable J. nestle, of the R division, who died
on Saturday last, in Guy's Hospital, from injuries he received, took
place yesterday, in the burial-ground of St. Paul's Church. A vast
concourse of persons had assembled, the streets through which the
mournful procession passed being lined on each side ; and it was only
by great exertion that admission could ho obtained to the church,
which, on the 'opening of the gates, was thronged in every part.
Two brothers a the deceased, abd. nearly one hundred policemen of
the R division, followed the coffin, the rear of the procession being
brought up by Inspector Douglas, and Mr. Burton, the usher of the
Police-court. The pall was borne by six sergeants, carrying white
wands; and a private of the force carried the hat and staff of the
murdered man. The arrangements were under the superintendence
of M r. Vallileau, the superintendent of the division, who also accompa-
nied Ilastie's remains to the grave, when the funeral service wa
read by the Rev. B. S. Fflnch, rector of the parish, in a most lin-
s
pressive manner.
STRANGE SCARCITY OF RATS.—During the last few
days lane full-grown rats have been fetching the extraordinary high
price of ninepence each, in consequence of the scarcity and consider-
able difficulty in procuring a sufficient quantity for the various rat
matches which take place every week. It is a singular fact that
rats are now much dearer than rabbits, and in one instance last
week, where 200 rats were killed, the principal portion averaged
tenpence each. They are chiefly caught at the horse slaughter-
houses in St. George's-fields, Southwark.
The expected rupture with America does not prevent
the flow of enilgration to the United States. The American liners
during the last month carried out upwards of 400 emigrants from
London to New York. On Thursday afternoon, at high water, the
New York packet-ship Gladiator, of 700 tons burthen, was hauled
out of the St. Katharine's Dock, with 140 paisengers on board, con-
sisting chiefly of agriculturists from Suffolk and Norfolk, who intend
to settle in the far west. The Gladiator has also taken out a very
fair cargo of British manufactured goods.
THERE is GREAT VIIITUE IN AN "IF."--The Liver-
pool Courant informs its readers that the Duke of Portland has
offered to head a subscription list with 25,0001. " IF an effective plan
can be devised to thwart the unconstitutional proceedings of the
League," In other words, his Grace has wagered 25,0001. to nothing
that the League is irresistible.
MAIL CART ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, be
tween live and six o'clock, the mall cart driver, accompanied by the
guard, was proceeding to the General Post-office, driving the mail
cart, which was heavily laden. On arriving opposite St. Giles's
church, and passing over the wooden pavement, the horse fell, and
the driver and guard were thrown out, and the letter-bags were
strewn over the street. Assistance was immediately rendered, and
the guard and driver were conveyed to Mr. Fitzpatrick, a surgeon, in
High-street. The guard was severely injured. The mail bags were
forwarded in cabs to Vac Post-office. The horse, on bang got up,
suddenly dashed on to the foot pavement, through the crowd, knock-
ing nine or ten persons down, several of whom were injured.
DEATH OF TWO NURSES IN WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL.
—On Thursday one of the nurses of the hospital of Westminster, in
York-street, expired in the new institution at the Broad Sanctuary,
from fever caught while in attendance on another nurse, who is also
deceased. It appears that during last week, the latter, who had been
attending to a patient attacked with fever of a typhus character,
was herself taken suddenly ill, apparently suffering from the same
malady. Everything was done for her by the medical officers and
the other nurse, but she ultimately expired. Her attendant was in
the same way attacked, and, as abeve stated, yesterday expired
from the same cause.
A SLIGHT MISTAKE.--The police of the Holy See of
Rome have lately seized, as dangerous to the State, all the copies
of two works on Galvanism, under the idea that they related to
Calvanism.
