SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THI9 HAY.
TIMES.—If,' in our present dispute with America,
the chance of a serious collision be materially enhanced
by that abstract justness of our cause which must neces-
sarily involve important coacessions on the other side,
there -is certainly nothing in the present temper.of the.
American people that would sooni to indicate a'aish
their part to avert such a calamitous issue. Ow the coin-
trary, notwithstanding the paci.fie tone of some of their
leading newspapers,
acting in harmony with most of
their principal statesmen, the national spleen exhibited
against Great Britain by the State authorities and-popu-
lace of Now York would appear to be absolutely frantic,
Judging from these intemperate dernonstratiodCirelir
knowledge of the Transatlant character were only
superficial, We • should probably have said. that
Mr. M'Leod is -. a. doomed' man... A councilkie
somebody, notorious for his unscrupulous and indos
mitable ardour in securing convictions, has ap-
parently been employed by the New Yorkers to
suborn for the prosecution as 'choice a band of perjured
witnesses as ever earned an infamous livelihood by
selling their 'pollutekeVidence. Judges upon the Re-
publican bench, disgracing their office by furious par-
tisanship, were actually giving currency to opinions
before the trial adverse to the
prisoner—a procedure,
which, in any civilized country, would cover the robed
caballers with merited obloquy and contempt. At the
instigation, too, of a citizen Leet, now in gaol foe
.the crime, powder magazines and ordnance stores had
been successfully plundered by a gang of M'Leod's
chief accusers, for the purpese, it is supposed, of vio-
lently getting possession "or his person, and of visiting
him with Lynch law in case of his acquittal. In a
word, in proportion as the day of trial drew near, all
classes in the State of New York were wound up to
the highest pitch of excitement, of prejudice apinat
M`Leod, and of irrational bitterness against his country,
which they very justly. anticipate will hoth demand satis-
faction for his detention, ands. if necessary, avenge
his blood. But, in spite efaii and sputter, we

rately well. It is astonishing what big talk and what
undaunted temerity they will make use of in a case like
this. They will speak of Great Britain in a tone of con-
temptuous defiance. They will throw out hints about
the insecurity of our,Canadian possessions. They will
remind us that we can neither clothe our women without
their cotton, nor diet our children without their rice.
APLeod, therefore, at all hazards, shall be brought to
trial. They are quite in earnest about it—as far at
least as concerns the parade of a judicial process. The
mock solemnity is ordered to take place at Mica ;
and what will' be the result—a public execution of
the culprit ? No ; for the , bullets and bayonets of
Great Britain . forbid it.„--/s: sentence of guilty? No ;
for although. the evidence against M'Leo,d is declared
to be complete, there happens to be a Quaker Jury, who,
strange to say, not being on path, will utterly disregard
their affirmation to adjust their verdict to the proof.
A pertinacious . deMand for satisfaction in reference to
the alleged murder of Durfee? No; the clamorous
apparition of that departed' patriot must remain un-
appeased. A consequent ,pretext for war ? No, in-
deed ; all the principal statesmen of America, and
all the accredited organs of Transatlantic opinion,
proclaim
.an inviolable,- peace. On these important
points Jr. M'Leod's Verdict has been, publicly and
unanimously pronounced in America for the last
six months. Not a‘ hair of his head will be injured.
Then, what in all the ,world have the circumspect
citizens been drivingat ? The whole affair;, with its busy
ferretting counsel, With- its repeated 'changes of venue,
with its formidable list of witnessea, with its pretended
defiance of the Federal Government, and its portentous
menaces towards this Country, has been puffed and con-
sumed by Jonathan like a snore Havannah cigar, which,
having been smoked till it endangered his own beard
has at length been virtually flung away. But, what-
ever the fate of .11tLeed,..the day. of reckoning with
Great Britain remaine; If the Americans imagine that:

ADYERT-MR---eThe mendacious COnduet of Sir
Robert Peel, in breaking to a nation's hope the promise'
which he held toicsaar- before his accession to power,
has not yet hoeitibeld, up to public scorn so clearly and'
forcibly as thee pretligacy of the case demands. The
very moment he has
ini-,y passed the precincts of office;
he comes coolly- forwardand demands an indefinite time"
to mature .his measures •for the relief of the suffering
masses; thus praotically proclaiming in the pithlic ear,
that, as yet, he has,no measures to propose. Why, let
us ask, did the Tory Premier if he knew of no panacea
for the evils under whiels--the country is groaning; why
did he allow the . perishing
towns to live in ignorance of the fact, and, thus aggra-
vate the wretchednesS oC„.their condition by exciting
hopes which were

there common honesty in this ?. IVenht any man,
whose bosom is familiar with the generous impulses
of our nature, have been a consenting .party to so
heartless a delusion ? Would any person of ordi-
nary humanity have suGred the famishing people of
England to cling to the fond conviction that he had both
the means and the disposition to achieve some wonderful
deliverance for them, from their deep diStress, when he
neither meant to do anything, nor knew the way in which
anything coald be done,. No man, possessing a spark of
humanity in his breast, would have suffered.so dreadfid
a delusion to be perpetuated for even one' little hour.
Honesty, humanity, every better feelire, of our common
nature would have forbidden it. But bad as this is, worse
remains behind. Sir Robert Peel has subjected himself
to a yet more grave and grievous charge than that of
suffering a delusion to exist, which had only the effect
of solemnly mocking a people's miseries, and which
lie could have dissipated with the breath of his
mouth ; he stands convicted of the enormous
crime of having studiousl=y and systematically fostered
that delusion wherever it previously existed, and of
creating it where it did not. This is a serious charge,
and ought not to . be preferred on slender or insufficient
grounds. What, then, are the grounds on which we pre-
fer so grave an accusation against the First Minister of
this country ? .Our .readers shall learn First of all,
the very circumstances .of his coming forward to defeat
the measures of the Melbourne Ministry, for the relief
of the trade and counerdeof the country, and proposing
their ejection from office on account of those measures,
was to commit a gross fraud on the nation, it' he knew of
no other mode by which the existing distress could be re-;
lived. On what principle of justice or decency could Sir
Robert Peel demand of Parliament the dismissal of Mi-
nisters, for failing to do what be, all the while, felt
himself incompetent to accomplish ? The •very fact of
his pronouncing their weakness inadequate to the com-
mercial And financial crisis which had overtaken the
country, and of seeking their ejection from power, in
order that their successors might bring forward the
measures which the eiigencies of the case required
—this very fact was of itself calculated to inspire,
and did inspire, a hope in the nation's breast, that
if the Tory Premier did not possess a knowledge
of an infallible remedy for the national disease,. he
at least laid the flattering unction to his soul that
such remedy was in his actual possession. 'What
then • must be the measure of that nation's in-
dignation, and how ample its cause for indignation,
when the Tamworth Bayonet comes forward and coolly
announces that he neither knows in what way the exist-
ing distress is to be diminished, nor means for several
months to propose any measures, of relief. And the de-
s7iino:eslhyad the unredeemed heart-
lessness strengthened
lusion which Sir Robert Peel theuxsicstr,esatend by hisctio,,
did
confirm by his words. In his
6rhnaeotethl.yapsrto.
memorable and miserable Tamworth oration, lie dis-
tinctly ihsiseenrreees siittd
stated—and, we are surprised that our con-
temporaries should' not have laid more stress upon the
fact----in that oration, in the midst of one of Isis
ponderously jocose passages, and when affecting to
justify himself in not bringing forward some recipe for
the national evils, be exilLmed, " Prescribe for the dis-
tress of the country 1 Why, wait until I'm regularly
called in ! It will then be for me to give my pre-
scriptions
' " Though the Right Hon. Baronet had
the wretched taste and still worse feeling to indulge
in jokes about his being the physician of the State,
at the very time that vast masses of the'people were
enduring all the horrors of want—just as Nero fid-
dled While Rome was in flames—the meaning of his
language was as plain
as words could make it, that
.he did at that moment kno7 of a specific for the
ills of the country, and that the very instant he was
summoned by his Government 'to undertake the
management of the national affairs, that specific
would be forthcoming. And, as if afraid lest his actions
in the first instance, and his words in the second, should
.not sufficiently spread the delusion that he meant to pro-
pose measures for the national relief, immediately on his
accession to power, the Tory Plainer, before the down-
fal of the Melbourne Ministry, repeatedly urged in Par-
liament, and it was repeated times without number by
his minions of the press, that his only reason for not
then naming the measures which he meant to propose
for remedying the existing evils, was, that if' he were to
do so,. the Melbourne. Ministry would play the part of
felons, and unblushingly. bring forward those very mea-
sures as their own. Here, awn, is an accumulation of
damning proof that Sir Robert Peel has paltered with
the nations at a crisis of the most fearful kind.
HERALD.—It is in vain for the Whig and Radical
Press to defend Captain Elliot ; his superintendence of

, Lord Palmeiston's opium War has.produced nothing but
disgrace aod—five millions of dollars to the nation. The
blundering Plenipotentiary, it seems to be now forgotten
has b"ea condemned, up to the period of his former con-
, vention, by his own friends, who, as soon as they re-
, • ceived intelligence of his first 'treaty, repudiated it, and
sent out Sir Henry Pottinger to supersede him sans ce-
,- remonie ; and the only part of his conduct which can,
therefore, be new a subject of discussion, is the last
affair before Canton. That affair may literally be
thrust into a nut-shell. Canton—we use the impres,
sive language of the lamented Sir H. Le Fleming Sen-
s • house, in his dispatch to Sir Gordon Bremer, dated from
Heights.ahere Canton, May 29"—" one of the first
. cities of the Chinese empire, whose population of
• one million two hundred thousand, defended by forty
thousand soldiers, in and without the walls, whose de-
fencei had been new a whole year in preparation, strong
in its natural position, and approachable only by an in-
tricate and uncertain naviwation, near one hundred miles
inland," fell " before a force of not more than 3,500
men, soldiers, royal marines, and seamen," and-Captain
Elliot sold the fallen city for five millions of dollars,. and.
Withdrew the gallant expedition to the mouth of the
Canton river, without having made one stipulation likely
to lead to the object of all wars—a secure peace. This
conduct admits of but two excuses ; either that there
were overwhelming local reasons for this sale, or that
• Captain Elliot obeyed the general tenour of his instruc-
tions in negotiating it. The former excuse is Wholly
negatived by the opinions of both the military and naval
chiefs of the expedition, as disclosed in Sir H. Fleming
Senhouse's despatch from which we have already quoted
" The terms were in opposition "to the opinions of the
Major-General and myself, as they left the troops in a
precarious position for some days, when the conduct of
the Chinese hitherto was considered, with whom delay
had always been used to strengthen their defences, the
result of which had alWays been a breach of faith. It
gave another fair opening for Chinese treachery to work,
and it took away the apparent symbol of capture, which
-would have beers vrevented letseeing the Britiel:lenner
Ittetheeee'esete'iree diy_vraßs. and trnosa gait
crumbling before it. The fortified heights in tie city
once gained, the Chinese troops may have marched out
and laid down their arms, and not a British soldier hid
any occasion to enter the populous part of the town."
If the latter exce ,e is to exonerate Captain Elliot
from the responszoility of his own act, it will only
more deeply condemn Lord Palmerston, from whom
his instructions proceeded. If the Captain is blame-
less, then, indeed, there are no terms in which the No-
ble Lord can be too severely censured. It has been
stated that Captain Elliot's instructions directed the
keeping open of the tea market at all hazards, and
made the indemnification of the opium smugglers the
first object of all military operations. But even if such
were the primary directions of his ignoble instructions,
they will only secure his more certain condemnation.
Had the British flag waved over Canton, the facilities of
procuring tea must have been increased, and not dimin-
ished ; because the obstacles to exportation proceed, not
from the Chiuese people or merchants, but from the Im-
perial authorities, whose power over public opinion would
have been thereby lessened ; for not denying the hos.;
tility of all classes of the Chinese to the British, still their
cupidity and necessity _would have rendered their
hatred subseryient to their interest. And as it is, Cap-
tain Elliot having got his treasury chest filled, still
warns British merchant-ships waiting for Cargoes that
it is not safe to ascend the river ; so that his ignomi-
nious conduct has, in all probability, wholly closed the
exportation of tea. Then, as to the so-anxiously-
seneht indemnity, it is clear that the Plenipotentiary
might have had both his much-loved (loners and the
command of Canton at the same time ; and then again
he has defeated, by an excess of diplomatic strategy,
the valour of British arms, and realised the old pro-
verb so often quoted to the disparagement of British
convention-makers.

•Chinkin'ko.w impossible it is for them to resist ui with
auelaPAYlr.trid the advantages gained by our small force
ovePuli;W•ge Chinese army, for it seems there were
nearly 'roily thousand men in and about Canton, and
many 'of them Tartar troops, must inspire even the
Enipereir and his Council at Pekin with a proper sense
of thetioiver of Great Britain. It might be well if those
• who agiitetically condemn the conduct of Captain
Elliot We're 'to ask themselves what were the objects for
whiCh 'the Chinese expedition was sent. These objects
were t*isfold; embracing indemnity for the past end
security for the future. The first of these objects Cap-
tain Elliot accomplished in part, by exacting an imme-
Aiate'isayment of six millions of dollars, because that
gam swill go far to compensate the merchants for the
opium which was extorted from them as the ransom for
-their lives. It is all very well to rail ,at Captain Elliot
fiaraccepting " certain bags, of dollar," but it should not
be forgotten that those who now find fault with him for
having done so, are the very parties by whom we used
to be told that we should never get a single dollar from
• the Chinese, and that in regard to compensation our ex-
pedition was sure to fail. But the full success of the ex-
pedition could not be accomplished without the formal
acquiescence of the Emperor in our demands, and that
acquiescence is very unlikely to be obtained by any
operations, however brilliant or successful, if confined
to the province of Canton. For this reason Lord Auck-
land and. the late Government at home had deter •
mined that operations should be carried on further to the
northward-; and, accordingly, at the very moment when
the late attack upon Canton was found to be necessary,
the British troops in the Canton river were actually em-
barked, and on the point of starting for Amoy. Now; if
that force had been locked up in Canton by the occupa-
tion of that 'city, all operations to the northward must
have been abandoned, unless a much larger force had
been sent from India, which, without adverting to the
additional expense, it might not have been convenient to
detach. We cannot see, therefore, how, Captain El-
liot • could have turned our successes at Canton to
better account. In one week he obtained from
the Chinese six millions of dollars to go towards
paying the compensation to the opium holders;
while at the same time ho has managed to keep
the whole British force, naval and military, free for any
further operations which the Government at home and
the Governor-General of India may have ordered. had
we occupied Canton, it is very unlikely that we should
have accomplished more than obtaining six millions of
dollars, while we should have been prevented from doine-
anything else. The occupation of Canton might, indeed',
have been useful on one supposition—that we meant to
make, a permanent conquest of any part of the main land
of China. But as our Government had no intention or
attempting to annex Canton to the British dominions,

POST.—We should deeply regret if the great ques-
tion of Church restoration or Church extension were
brought down from the high position where it ought to
stand, by mixing it up with n minor controversy as to the
expediency of looking for pecuniary aid to the State.
The remarks which an influential contemporary has made
on this latter question are put forward with characteris-
tic boldness and ingenuity. It is not our purpose to find
fault with them, or to answer them. To some extent we
cordially agree with them ; as, for instance, that it would
be quite monstrous to have the support of the Church, or
any considerable part of its Ministration, dependent upon
an annual grant from Parliament, and therefore upon the
relative strength in the Hoitse of Commons of rival poli-
tical leaders. We hope the Church will never be placed in
such a position, than which absolute poverty would, in
our opinion; be far better. But, still, supposing- circum-
stances favourable, we do not see why the State might
not fulfil a great duty by giving large donations to the
Church in aid of its efforts to promote and preserve reli-
gionnmong the people. This is not to be expected when
the Exchequer is in an impoverished condition, and bur-
thened with greater charges than the whole amount of
the public income will defray ; but if under a more care-
ful and diligent stewardship the financial concerns of the
State should prosper, and a surplus be found in the Ex-
chequer, then we . think that large donations to the
Church would be the reasonable duty of the State.
We do not mean to assert anything arrogantly, but
merely to advance what, we think, a not unreason..
able opinion, when we say, that if again, as in
1829, the annual public income should exceed
the annual expenditure by four millions sterling, it
would be better, instead of knocking off three mil-
lions a year in beer-tax at one blow, to spend a few mil-
lions in building commodious churches and noble cathe-
drals to the honour and glory of God, and in making
permanent endowments for the decent but not ostenta-
tious support of additional clergy. We really do not see
why the State should not be considered as having, at
least in some degree, that responsibility as to the use of
its wealth which all Christians allow to belong to
vidual persons. Mr. Gresley, in his tract on Church
restoration, suggests the revival of the ancient scriptural
practice of exhorting the people to set apart on the first
day of each week a portion of their means as an offering
to God. Now; supposing the State to have any surplus
means of which to dispose, might it not be fairly ex-
pected that a portion should now and then bu " set
apart" for the sacred purpose above stated ?'

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CIIRONICLE,—The Tories' luive been a few weeks
only in office,' and already we have had the comforts of
an attempt to add 5,000,000/.. to the public debt, and to-
day the whole moneyed interest in the City has been in
a state of agitation and alarm, from the position of our
Peninsular and American relations. There have been
greater excitement and more "panic" on the Stock Ex-
change on Saturday and to-day, than was experienced,
we believe (we speak from memory), during all the ten
or eleven years of IVliig Government. The " smoke
from the shores of France" during the Thiers adminis-
tration was nothing in comparison. At that period the
Faiblic knew that the Noble Viscount who then held the
important office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
was more than a match for the Frenchman ; but
now the case is very different, and besides this,
the " good Prince" is now strongly suspected to
have been " aiding ar.d abetting," as the lawyers have
it, in the insurrection in the Spanish provinces ; so
that it may be necessary for the Regent of Spain
to demand:the removal of Christina, the ei-Queen Re-
gent, from • Paris. Such are the fears which have
caused Much fluctuation and a further fall of fully I. per
cent. in Consols on the opening price of the day. It
was* first supposed_ that despatches had heen received
by the GOvernment from Mr. Fox, to the effect that he
had made a specific demand for Mr. M`Leod's release or
his passports, but this report soon died away.
The organ of the Bank Parlour is on his " last legs."
After a rapsody to-day about Canton, Treasury Bonds,
the Duke of Wellington, and Captain Elliot, " as the
incapable tool of an incapable Ministry," he finally, we
trust, informs- his readers " that he had no intention
whatever of proceeding upon the unchristian principle
of kicking a dead ass.". The only notice we take of this,
is by exercising the Christian principle of recommending
1 our unfortunate ConteMporary to the immediate care and
attention of his friends.
POST.—The failure of two Portuguese firms was an-
-1 iia Aar,' will-scut. 111 k eco mbiti-ftOne of then' " arrespondence svisii—ss-Hta.mbttvgii-hinrse,- on account
of which it had come under heavy acceptances. The im-
mediate cause of embarrassment is said to be the seizure
of five vessels belonging to the connection on a charge
of slave-trading. It is not known that any stoppage has
occurred at Ilainburgh.
• The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders held
-a meeting to-day, at which it transpired that official coin-
munications had been made on. the part of the Mexican
Government. They are to the effect that the Congress
and Senate had passed a decree which was long under
consideration for consolidating the over-due Coupons,
and for putting the bondholders upon the nrore favour-
able footing of giving them one-fifth instead
.of one-'
sixth of the customs revenue. The packet Alert, arrived
at Falmouth with dates to September 17, brings 16,000
dollars on account of the dividends, making a total of
53,000 brought by hey and the Penguin, the packet
which arrived last week. The late political movement '
is considered likely to produce a good result, inasmuch
as it will revive the the customs at Vera Cruz, and put a'
stop to the smuggling system which has interfered so
much with the Exchequer,

1 , -. Seine endeavour to find a solutioa in the
:4,1,44:4e.Lt affair, some in the aspect of affairs at North'
4'•.eica, while others assume the sweeping opinion that
the present state of affairs is radically bad, and thus seek
for a common cause to account for the panic in the
Stock Markets, and the recent failures both in the com-.
mercial and banking departments. The more feasible
opinion appears to be, however, that the insurrection
in Spain in favour of Queen Christina is the
real cause of the excitement, since it is apprehended
that France is connected with that insurrection, and that
it may ultimately lead to -an European conflict. That
this apprehension is the cause of the decline in the va-
lue of the Securities is corroborated by the great fall in
Spanish Stock which has accompanied that: of the Eng-
lish Securities. The market, w ere subject to severe
fluctuations throughout the duty, the result of which
was two failures—viz., that of Mr. Howe and that of
Mr. D. Cohen, the latter of whom is expected to pay
his differences in full ; and had it not.been that a certain
influential party, had. upheld prices with some energy, it
was fully expected that the decline would even have been
greater than it has proved to be. They were not.how-
ever, enabled to give the market any great strength,, and
what was afforded was only -of :a temporary -nature.
Money has for the last week or so been scarce and dear,
and this, in all probability, has helped to 'weaken the
market. It• was feared during the rapid fluctuations
that the Stock Exchange. members were about to en•
counter another of those periodical panics which have so
often prostrated the speculators in Public Securities.
It was announced on 'Change to-day on the Portuguese
walk, and in some circles was previously known, that
Messrs. Soares, merchants, of some celebrity, though,
now not so extensively engaged as formerly, had been
obliged to stop Payment. Their liabilities are said to be
considerable, and their 'connexion with Portuguese firms
of high standing numerous. : No particulars aro as yet
known, and indeed the announcement took those who
might be supposed most intimately acquainted with the
affairs of the concern, by surprise. With respect to the
,
of parties-
plan now, as well as on other occasions adopted by this
journal, of publishing to the world the now.;
whb are reduced to the necessity of suspending. payment,
it has met with approbation in the very higheit quar-
ters,, since it is considered that while anonymous illu-
sions to failures conceal from the public what ought to
be known, they at the same time throw a. discredit on,
the whole branch of business with which the defaulter
is concerned.

SUN.—AII attention in the City, and, we have
no doubt as soon as it .becomes known, will be
throughout the country, is directed to the panic
in the Stock Exchange, which, late on Saturday,
and still more so to-day, has assumed what, to
a casual or uninitiated observer, would naturally
appear a very alarming aspect. We should feel thankful
if it were our good fortune to relieve in some measure
the apprehensions of the public, especially of those hav-
ing deposits in British Securities, and we would warn and
counsel every man whd reads The Sun, and has such
property at stake (not time bargainers) to hold it firmly,
and not take affright. The panic that exists has, or
should have, but little to do with the fuudholders at large.
It is a desperate strnggle between the speculators for
a rise, and those for a fail, and if the latter suc-
ceed, as the numerous failures or embarrassments
may perhaps enable them to do, prices will go down.
This may last for a time, but cannot ultimately affect the
intrinsic value of the Stock to the bona fide holder, who
can keep it till matters wear a smoother aspect. It is
always unwise to sell during a panic. This will be a
heavy week in the Stock Markets, no doubt, but the divi-
dends payable will assist. The decline to-day aain,
taking the extreme price, was full 1 per cent., or 1i per
cent., since Saturday morning. Before the close of busi-
ness, however, prices rallied to per cent. The open-
ing price of Consols was 88k to i ; the lowest, 87k tbr
Money, and 87i for Account ; and the closing quota-
tions 81 to , both for present transfer and Thursday
next. The Scrip of the new Stock was done as low as
discount. Exchequer Bills receded to 14s. and 11s.
prem. ; East India Bands to 3s. prem. and par ; and the
New Three-and-a-llalf per Cents. to 97i and 961- ; Bank
Stock dropped from 166 to 163 - ; the Reduced Three
per Cents. were marked 87 to 86 ; the Reduced Three-
and-a-Half per Cents., 96/ to 95i ; and India Stock was
at 245.

The panic in the Foreign Market was nearly, if not
quite as severe as that in our own Funds. Spanish
Bonds, owing to the bad news, declined from 19 to 171,
but' rallied and closed at 181 to j. Mexican Stock was

_LICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Mn. Biggs and Joseph Paybody were yesterday placed
at the bar, charged before Mr. Hall, the Chief Magis-
trate, with having forged a number of checks upon the
bank of Sir John Dean Paul, of the Strand, in the name
of Mr. Robert Wynne Williams, the solicitor, of 3, Paper-
buildings, Temple. Both the prisoners had been in the
employment of Mr. Williams, as copying clerks.
Paybody had quitted his service in May last,
and Briggs about six weeks ago. The former ap-
peared in the garb of a butcher, which business
it appeared he was, when apprehended, follow-
ing; 'in Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-ruad. Twelve
checks, the total amount of which was 300/., beating ttleit?

The check bore the date of Saturday, and Mr. Wil- lialits, it appeared, had gone out of town on Thursday. .
• Lallard, the e.y.-Bow-street ()nicer, who bad been em-
ployed-by Sir John D. Paul to asbist in the investigation
of th:C case, produced a number of the forged checks, the
forged signatures of which were proved to bear a strong
resemblance to the nut, graph of Mr. Williams ; and
several were marked "L. 8.," with which letters it ap-
peered that Mr. Williams was in the habit of marking
checks written for 'office disbursements, and those lettere
signified' " Law Business."
Mr. Edmund llinkon, the. managing clerk of Mr.
Williams, stated his conviction of the signature attached
to the check presented on Saturday being a forgery, as
Mr. Williams never post-dated his cheeks, which he must
have done if that now produced were genuine. More-
over, Mr. Williams had written on plain paper 'instead
of printed checks, according to the arrangement with Sir
John 1). Paul.
Mr. Long, of the firm of Staniland and Long, ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson for the
prisoner Paybody. The other prisoner was without
-a* legal adviser, and did not say any thing in his de-
fence.
The 'Magistrates remanded Biggs' until thie..du
week, and took bail for the appearance of Payer;,
against whom ho thought there was no case at.Preearit.
Mr. Robinson was prepared with the bad, and said
he should do all in his power to assist the prosecutors lm
their case against the really guilty party.

James Cooke, a well-dressed young man, was yester-
day brought before the magistrate from the police
station, and charged with violently assaulting poliaataan
White, IQS G.
The defendant, it appeared, had been at the Gresion
Saloon, and he afterwards went to the shop of Mr. Phil- .
lips, a tobacconist in Bath-street, City-road, to gat a
cigar, which he wanted to smoke in the shop.. That :be-
ing objected to, he became exceedingly abusive, .refueed
to quit the shop, and assaulted the occupier and a Mr.
Letitia, who was there. The policeman was called in
to eject him, in which he had great difficulty, and when
outside the defendant knocked him down and cut ilia
head, and also tore his clothes.
The policeman had evidently been exceedinitly mal-
-1 treated.

a knife into the constable if he had had one.
Mr. 131xcitAst sentenced him to pay 41. fine, or be

• Fincombe, 111 N, having been. sworn, stated thnt on
Saturday evening list, abouehalf-lust five o'clock, he was
on duty in the Chalk-road, Islington, when his attention
was, attracted by a disturbance near the Sutton .Arms
public-house, and he observed the prisoner and another
man in contact with each other, the prisoner having 11
tight hold of the man. Witness proceeded to thseipos,
and told the prisoner to let the man go, or he (witness)
would take him to • the station-house. The -prisoner
would not let him go, and he said he would neither do so
nor go to the station-house ; on which witness- laid bold
of the prisoner's collar and separated them. He pulled
the prisoner along a short distance, when he let lip- gu,
and walked along, speaking mildly to him, and he
walked with witness as ter as William-street, but he
refused to tell where ho lived. A man came up and
asked Witness why he was ill-using the prlnner, au&
told hies to leave him- alone. Witness. said he shot*
nut. The prisoner was a greet deal the worse for
liquor. Whilst the man was -speaking to witness the
prisoner dragged himself away 'from witness, and pull-
ing a pistol from his right-hind-pocket, be, exclaimed,
‘• 1.),-n your eyes, .1 will give it to you," when he heard
him cock the pistol, and as the prisoner was proceeding

produced, was found, which, on examinatiou,_ weedis-

Sergeant Scott. N division, sworn, stated' -that ;two
pistols were brought to the station-house; and on* of
them contained two balls. Thu prisoner said,

it would have served him out," •
Mr. FLOWER said that the prisoner and his friends
were highly respectable ; but he (the prisoner) was or
unsound mind, and he had a certificate to that effect,
which he now produced to the bench.
Dr. M'Crea, a medical gentleman, said that he did not
consider the prisoner to be of sound mind. He was dan-
gerous to himself and to others. He had been in the habit
of carrying prussic acid about his person.
-Mr. GREENWOOD said he would eventually commit
the prisoner 'to take his trial, but he would now remand-
him, in order that the officers might produce further
necessary evidence on the day of the next examination.
The prisoner was. then taken from the bar in an excited
state, and directions were given that a strict watch should
be kept upon him, and in the course of the day be was
conveyed to prison.

week. Nearly every lodging is taken, and there can be
little doubt, that, should the weather continue as • fine
