leave it to the jury to say whether they could, after
that, believe that the articles were originaL
The UNDER-SHERIFF said such evidence could
not be received, unless the knowledge of the ar-
ticle in the Morning Post could be brought home
to the knowledge of the plaintiff; and, in the tirat place,
it would be necessary to call witnesses to prove that the
Morning Post was printed and published the day it bore
date.

The defendant said if he could not compare both ar-
ticles, the greater part of his defence would fall to the
ground.

- The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said he was always
disposed to give as much latitude as possible to de-
fendants who appeared in person, but he could not by
the rules of the Court, and in justice to other suitors,
admit evidence irregularly.
The defendant then applied for an adjournment, but
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he did not think there
could be any doubt, after the admission of defendant in
the letter put in. _ _ _

The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT

Mr. Justice ERLE took his seat on the bench at ten
o'clock.

FORGEM—Thomas Schule, aged 22, a German, was
indicted for forging an endorsement to a bill of exchange
for 100/, on the 18th of January last, with the intention
of defrauding Messrs. Rothschild and Co., the eminent
commercial firm.

Mr. Bonum stated the case against the prisoner. He
said the circumstances were of the most extraordinary
kind, and displayed an amount of ingenuity rarely
equalled. It appeared that in 1846, a young man named
Lawrence Weaver, a German, was sent by his father to
England for the purpose of pushing his fortune, and on
the understanding that if he should succeed in estab-
lishing himself in any eligible occupation, that he should
remit him money to assist him, he being entitled to about
3001. He happened to take up his abode in the same
house as the prisoner, in Goodman's fields, and, in con-
sequence an intimacy sprung up between them, which
subsisted after he left the house. The prisoner was well
conversant with his affairs. Lawrence Weaver shortly
after left this country for America, a fact which was well
known to the prisoner, who, it appeared, then set him-
self to work to concoct a scheme by which he
might obtain money from the father of Weaver.
He entered into a correspondence with him in the
name of his son, stated that he saw an eligible
opening in the wine trade, that he was about to be mar-
ried te, a person possessing some property, and ulti-
mately requested a sum of money from the old German,
who at once remitted a bill at three mi •nths' sight, pay-
able at the house of Messrs. Rothschild, the name of his
supposed son being endorsed upon it. He accompanied
the enclosure with his blessing. The Bill was endorsed
and paid in due course. Shortly after Weaver's father
heard that his son had died in one of the American
colonies, a statement which, of course, threw the whole
family into dismay. Soon after an application was
made to the father for a further remittance, with a re-
quest that the bill might be made payable at sight, and
not like the last, at three months. By the advice of
Messrs. Rothschild the money was forwarded, and when
the prisoner presented himself ho was told there was
some irregularity in the bill. He seemed surprised, said
his name was Lawrence Weaver, and that he had the
letter of his father enclosing the bill to him in his pos-
session, and, in the presence of several of the clerks, he
endorsed that name upon the back of the bill. He was
then taken into custody. At his lodgings the letters of
Hosnagel, the father-in-law of Weaver, were found,
together with other papers.
The case was clearly proved against the prisoner by
several witnesses, and the letters, it appeared, were taken
in at the:Sun Coffee-house in Long-acre, at the request of
the prisoner, and it was proved that the letter containing
the cheque in question was taken in at his request, and
handed over to him.
Translations of the letters were then read. In one
addressed to his landlord, from the Giltspur-street Pri
son, the prisoner stated that he had got himself into
trouble through incautiously taking a letter to Messrs.
Rothschild, in which a cheque was inclosed, for a per
son who did not wish to go himself, and asking him to
destroy his papers.
The prisoner, in his defence, produced a paper which
was read by the clerk. He stated in it that he was the
victim of misplaced confidence in a person whom he was
unable to produce in Court. That person's name was
Schule, who asked him (the prisoner) to put
Weaver's name on the bill, in order that he might trans-
mit the money to Weaver, who was then in America.
He assured the Court that he should not have done so,
if he had believed the person named Schule intended to
keep the money; and, further, he besought the mercy
of the Court, on the ground that he was innocent, that
he was a foreigner ignorant of the English law, and
unable, in a foreign land, to produce witnesses to his
character, on which no stain had ever before been cast.
Mr. Justice ERLE summed up ; and the jury, after a
brief consultation, found the prisoner Guilty.
He was sentenced to be transported for ten years.
Mr. BODKIN stated that there was another indictment
against the prisoner, for the forgery of tlae first cheque,
which no doubt would have been clearly brought home
to him, but the object of the prosecution would be fully
satisfied by the conviction on the first.

hundred persons sworn in, amongst the number were
the whole of the men servants in the establishment of
Baron Parke.

FREE TRADE CLUB.

The first annual dinner of the members of this
club took place last night at the club, 14, St. James's'
square.
Mr. Cobden, M.P., took the chair, and was supported
by Mr. Bright, M.P., Dr. Bowring, M.P., the Hon. H.
Berkeley, M.P., Mr. Lushington, M.P., Mr. Kershaw,
M.P., Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. John Brooks, Dr. Reid, Mr.
W. A. Wilkinson, Mr. Sergeant Shea, Mr. Bennoch, and
about 160 members of the club and their friends.

The CHAIRMAN, after having proposed the health of
the Queen and the Royal Family, which was drank with
considerable enthusiasm, proposed the toast of the even-
ing, " Prosperity to the Free Trade Club." He stated
that the club had been formed with the important view
of affording a nucleus for the meeting of those gentlemen
who coincided in opinion upon the subject of free trade.
Like other similar institutions, the club had had to pass
through its season of weakness and infancy, but he re-
joiced that, through the kind nursing of the committee,
the " bantling" had passed through all its dangers, and
was now fast arriving to full manhood. The
club, from its commencement, had been tolerably
well supported. It numbered at present among
its members forty-three Members of Parliament, he
should be happy to see that number increased to 200 ;
if, however, 120 more members could be added to the
club, it would then be in a state of complete prosperity.
He thought that great objects were to be attained by
keeping up their organization at the present time. There
were grave errors abroad upon the subject of free trade
and political economy. They could not shut their eyes
to this fact. The influences of this club he wished to
see brought to strengthen the free.trade party in Parlia-
ment. He rejoiced at the accession to their
strength upon the last election by the return of such men
as Colonel Thompson, the man who taught them all their
" Corn-law Catechism ;" as. Mr. W. J. Fox, one of the
health,
not so often heard in the was not then present, and
most brilliant orators of the day, and whom he regretted,
fromwh o tfrhoem state
the m
soafhei soau easelt,h
House of Commons as he should wish ; Mr. Wilson, the
able practical economist, and others of well-known talent.
He trusted that the club would soon be able to present
itself to the public as the most prosperous of any in
London.

Dr. BowalNo proposed " The health of the Chairman,"
and in so doing said that it had been remarked of the
late D. O'Connell, that his power consisted in this incar-
nation of the Irish people, that if eight millions could
have been concentrated in one individual—their wit and
their wisdom, their pathos and their poetry, their fun
and their folly, their greatness and their littleness, D.
O'Connell would have represented them all, and if he (Dr.
Bowring) were to take the man who was the representa
tive of all the best of those attributes—of the wisest, the
sincerest, and the greatest of the English nation, at:Ad
sent that man forth to represent them to the universal
world, Richard Cobden would be the man whom he
should send.—(Loud cheers.)
the CHAIRMAN having thanked the meeting for the
manner in which his health had been drunk. stated that
France was literally going mad upon the subjects of free
trade and political economy. The Provisional Govern-
ment there, were, however, only carrying out the princi.
plea of Protectionism, advocated by a portion of the
daily press. They were endeavouring to carry into
practice the doctrines of the Protectionists in this coun-
try, whom he had warned in the House of Commons
that if they protected one interest, they must not
only protect all interests but must fix the price of
labour and the time of labour. This was the attempt
made by the Provisional Government of France,
and a most pernicious attempt it would prove, and
probably one productive of more misery to the
mass of the people than even Robespierre had caused.
He;trusted that Louis Blanc and his colleagues might
now work out their insane policy as
soon as possible
upon the elevated platform where they were now per
forming their
experiments, so that all the rest of
Europe might see their signal failure, and England
be thus spared the opportunity of repeating the experi-
ment.—(Cheers.) He had been charged out of the House
by some of the
newspapers, and in the House by the
Hon. Member for Westminster (Sir De L. Evans) with
having returned from his visit to the continent boasting
that all the world were becoming free traders. So far
was this from being the fact that he had always said,
" Don't take the men who lilted me as the representa
Lives of the people
whom I visited." Those men were
now, as the free-traders in this country .had for a
long time been, in a minority on this question. A very
interesting fact had come to his knowledge in connexion
with the recent revolutions on the Continent. He found
that there was not a single Provisional Government or
Ministry formed during the recent events in France,
Turin, Milan, or Venice, which did not contain among
them the names of men who sat beside him at those
banquets—
(Cheers) and the same might be said of
those who took a prominent part in the recent events at
Frankfort, Hamburgh, Berlin, Kcenigsberg, and
;
Dantzic. This looked well for the
progress
of free-trade principles—(Hear) ;—but he would
not have them infer that those individuals were at once
prepared to carry out their principles, or that they were
in a position to do so; but it was worthy of remark, that
along with the establishment of free institutions, Ger-
many, France, and Italy had now what England had not, ,
a free press. The press of the whole continent, except
that of Russia, was now perfectly free, for they had no
penny stamp, as in England, to fetter them. There was
no doubt that the late depressed state of trade had been
some disadvantage to the progress of the principles of
free-trade, but still statesmen upon the :continent would
understand what the Protectionists of this country would
not, viz., that free. trade had not caused that dullness;
that state of things had not been brought about by the
consolation.
country, it bad arisen from the p
importation of a few 'more quarters
otato of cornrot and th into thie
s
scarcity of corn; the repeal of the 'corn-laws did not
cause either of those calamities. He saw much upon the
continent from which he couldspeople
derive
triumphing. That n
some of the revolutions which had taken place there had
w :th been too much of open bloodshed and violence, but
everywhere they sa
errors and faults would be committed, and some evils
might
arise, would be no more thanbe expected, yet he
had no doubt that when thetime
arrived that they could
f the results of the m
strike the balance o movement, there
would be found to be great gain to the people in general,
—(Hear, hear.) In this country those results could be
obtained by moral and peaceablen means.
The people
had the right of public mee i gs—a right which it was
the interest of every person to cherish, and to see that
peace and order were preserved; and that man was no
and
sure friend to his countrymen no lover of their real
progress, who in this country,a for any object however
good, violated or advised
of violation of the law.—(Hear,

in this country, it was of the utmost importance that

There was no resting place between free trade and com-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,
EPSOM SPRING MEETING.
EPSOM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. —The entries for the
Plate closed at five o'clock this afternoon, and it will be
seen from the subjoined outline of the engagements, that
a most brilliant day's sport may be anticipated. ,The
number of events to come off will render an early com-
mencement necessary, the racing will therefore begin at
one with the match between Laird-o'•Cocipen and Chat-
ham; Sir Gilbert Heathcote's Plate will follow, at half-
past one; at half-past two the Great Metropolitan
Handicap will be run, and at half,past three the Two
Yrs Old Stakes; the "heats" races will be run at the
usual half-hour intervals. That everything may be per-
fectly en regle, the Newmarket officials, viz, Mr. Clark,
judge; Mr. Hibburd, starter; Mr. Manning, clerk of the
scales; and Mr. Starling, clerk of the course, have been
engaged. The refreshment rooms will be under the di-
rection of Mr. Lumley,.who made so successful a debut
last year. It is beyond a doubt that there will be an
immense attendance. . The directors of the Brighton
Railway Company have therefore announced their inten-
tion to run express trains every half-hour, both before
and after the races, and have made arrangements to pre-
vent the!confusion that occurred on the Derby-day last
year. The members of the Subscription• room at Hyde
Park corner will be enabled to obtain tickets there this
afternoon, and will thereby save themselves a good deal
of trouble at the stations. Active preparations are in
progress on the course; in fact, nothing has been lost
sight of that will contribute to, the comfort of the visitors
or the convenient transaction of business. The running

OWN CORRESPONDENT.
ISLE OF WIGHT.
T r OSBoRNE .—Numerous
REMOVAL OF THE
workmen have been employed
in Ifit state to meet the
the new buildings for
some time past, to have them
royal eye. Her Majesty and the
ex-
pected to arrive at Osborne on SatYuarldFyabniunieillxyt.areSuchdlngs and
r year
e
are the vast improvements made in thea
grounds, that those who went over Osborne
would scarcely know it this. The house her
originally occupied has been pulled down, and a splendid
palace erected in its place, to which that built in the two
preceding years forms a wing.
FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.—Lord Galloway and
family have arrived at Cowes Castle; Joseph Gee, Esq.,
at the Trinity Parsonage; Captain Snodgrass at Aven•
ing Villa; Captain C. Hamlyn Williams, R.N., has taken
Belmore House.
MIRAGE.—Many of our inhabitants and visitors were
filled with wonder and astonishment by one of those
optical illusions on Monday last. The whole of Stoke's
Bay seemed suspended in the air for nearly two hours,
and at one time the windmill had increased to three, one
above the other, the middle one and the trees and houses
being inverted.

GENERAL THEATRICAL FuND.—A meeting of the
members of this institution, established in 1839, for the
granting of annuities to aged and decayed actors, and
relief to their widows and orphans, was held yesterday
at the saloon of the Lyceum, Mr. Lewis in the chair,
when the annual report and financial statement (pre-
sented to the general meeting of the members on Ash
Wednesday) was laid before the subscribers for confir-
mation. It appeared that the capital invested was
4,0141. 10s. Bd., and in the hands of Mr. Buckstone, the
treasurer, 391. Bs. 10d., making a total of 4,053/. 193. 6d.
The receipts during the past year had been 7461. 9s. ‘qcl.,
leaving a balance of 3961. 6s. 2d. It was stated that in
1846 four members, of the respective ages of 67, 63, 69,
and 58 years, were granted annuities of 251. per annum,
and the directors were now happy to inform the sub-
scribers to the fund, that they had been enabled to add
5/. to each annuitant for the year ensuing. The minutes
and the annual balance-sheet having been confirmed, a
vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.
General Skrzynecki, Commander-in-Chief of the
Polish army in 1835, and since serving as general of
division in the Belgian service, is on the point, it is said,
of quitting Brussels to join Prineo Czartoryski at Posen,
the general rendezvous of the Polish patriots.
FORFEITURE OF FELONS' PROPERTL—Mr. E wart
has given notice, in the House of Commons, that he will
to-morrow (Friday), move for the preparation and pro
duction of a return showing tho amount of forfeitures of
felons' property to the Crown in each of the last three
years; specifying the names of the several cases in which
such forfeiture has taken place, and the several amounts
forfeited; also showing how much of the said property
was restored by the Crown; and specifying all the fees
or other charges levied under such process of forfeiture,
or previous to such act of restoration.
The workmen in the turners and painters' depart-
ments, Woolwich, have been engaged for several days in
tnaking:constables' staffs, and work over hours, from six
o'clock in the morning until eight P.M.
ASSOCIAZIONE NAZIONALE ITALIANA.—The third
neetaing of the association was held last night at the
Western Literary Institution, Leicester-square. The
President, Signor Pistrucci, after reading an extract
rom an Italian journal on the form of government
which Italy, when free and independent, should adopt,
opened the proceedings by informing the meeting that
Signor Giglioli, having lett London, it was necessary to
elect a vice president in his room, and Signor Fenzi was
unanimously chosen to supply the vacancy occasioned
by Signor Giglioli's departure. The president then re
minded those who heard bim that they met, not for de
clamation, but for business, and he would, therefore, at
Once lay before the meeting what had been done by the
special committee during the past week. Twelve indi
viduals had been furnished with the means of reaching
Paris on their way to Italy, and the sum of 515 francs
had been sent to the central society in that city to be
distributed among the volunteers, as they arrived, for
the prosecution of their journey. It was agreed that an
address should be prepared to the Italians resident in
England, Scotland, and Ireland, calling upon them to
subscribe for the purpose of sending, if not men, at
least, arms to Italy, but the project of an address to the
English was abandoned. The President then read a
copy of an address to the inhabitants of Milan, which
was adopted by acclamation, and ordered to be trans-
mitted immediately to the Provisional Government of
that city. After the transaction of some routine business,
the meeting separated.
