IMMIGRATION.

The various members of the West India interest are
indefatigable at present in their efforts to obtain justice
for the West India colonies at the hands of the Govern-
ment. The natural indolence of men in office, and the
prepossessions of politicians and politico-economists so
sectarian as the Whigs, will require their utmost efforts,
and they will also require support from the colonies.
This will require to be given promptly, yet with fore-
thought and guarded caution in language. Much harm .
has first and last been done by intermit-
ting activity and unguarded language on the
part of parties connected with these colonies
in the mother country, and colonists themselves.
Every discrepant opinion is laid hold of by Government
as an excuse for stopping to deliberate—that is, for
doing nothing. Every opinion that flatters their pre-
conceived opinion coming from resident colonists is laid
hold of as a pretext for abiding by their prejudices.
There are many resp.'ctable and, from their great pro-
perty, influential members of the West India interest at
home who have taken little pains to analyse the sources
of West India distress, and can only be got to move with
the body on rare and stirring occasions. All kinds of
quacks from the coloniesget round these parties with their

nostrums, and cause them to introduce disunion into the
body. Again, a few sanguine residents are run away
with by the El Dorado promises of a Smith, and their
lucubrations are regularly forwarded to the Colonial-
office as the public opinion of their respective colonies.
The intelligent colonists ought to la) their heads toge-
ther, determine what points they want to carry first,
then appeal for the support of their fellow-colonists. In
the life of Franklin—his early life in Philadelphia—
they will find a model of shrewd, sagacious, cautious,
resolute formation of a sound practical public opinion
in a not very manageable community. Similar
means must now be used to similar clads in the
West Indies. It is the crisis of these colonies'
fate. There are discordant elements in them
which can only thus be brought to work in harmony.
The free black peasantry, and the panderers to their
prejudices, lay or clerical, must be thus won over or
silenced. The first task is to reconcile them to immigra-
tion. Immigration is the foundation upon which the su-
perstructure of colonial prosperity must be reared. It is
true that capital is wanting, but capital will never flow to
the islands until there is plenty of available labour. It is
true that agricultural and manufacturing processes admit
ofimprovernent(not to tho extent that pedants and knaves
represent at home, but still to some extent), but for
this we may trust to the awakened intellects and
energies of the residents. But labour must be had—
a full continuous stream—from the nearest point, from
Western Africa. It is for the interest of all classes in
the West Indies that it should be had. This is what
the missionaries of common sense must teach the indus-
trious and well-meaning among the peasantry—the
honest and intelligent among their pastors. This may
be done by the means we indicate; and this ripened
intelligence must be brought to bear en masse upon the
Homo Government.— TVest India Mail.

The Earl and Countess of &afield are shortly ex-
pccted to arrive in town from Cullen House, North Britain,
on their way to the Continent. On Wednesday last, the
Noble Earl had a " gathering" at Cullen House, when there
was an exhibition of the sports peculiar to the Highlands.
Lord Reidhaven, Lord George Lennox, Lord Robert Clinton,
Hon. L. A. Grant, Captain Hood, lion. Mr. Byrne, and a
large party, visitors at Cullen House, were present at the

games, the successful competitors having prizes awarded them.
The Earl of Leicester and a select circle are visiting
Mr. J. and Lady Elizabeth Spencer Stanhope at Cannon Hall,
Barnsley, Yorkshire.
The Earl of Ellesmere has left Worsley Hall, Lanca-
shire, for his shooting-lodge in Sutherlandshire, where the
Noble Earl purposes to enjoy the sports of the Highlands up
to the close of the present month.

Lady Bloomfield has left town for Kingscote, Glouces-
tershire.

at Haslar barracks from Winchester.

THE LATE FRACAS ON A 'At-CW.IIOTM ENGINE.—
Yesterday, Temple, the engine-driver, and Poole, the stoker
of the mixed train from Bristol, who fought on the engine,
between Steventon and Didcot stations, thereby periling the
lives of the passengers, were brought before Mr. Gooch, the
superintendent of locomotives, when, it having been ascer-
tained that Poole was the aggressor, he was immediately
discharged, and Temple fined a sovereign—a very inade-
quate punishment, considering the danger incurred, as it was
his place, holding sack a responsible situation, to have
stopped the train on the outbreak, and have given Poole into
the guard's custody, as they are all constables.
Two days 14;o, the inhabitants of the Rue d'Enfer
were amused by the scene of an Auvergnat undergoing pun-
ishment, for suffering himself to be beaten by his wife. After
a formal trial by a party of water-carriers, his countrymen,
he was sentenced to be paraded through the quarter
mounted on an ass, with his face towards the animal's
tail. The funds for the hire of the ass and of a bagpiper,
amounting in all to some Bf. or 10f., being raised among
the fraternity, the hen-pecked husband was, after some
resistance, mounted on the animal in the humiliating posi-
tion named in the verdict, and, preceded by the bag-

•
pipes, was made to go through several streets amidst the
hootings, laughs, and jeers, of an innumerable rabble.—

SECES6ION ;nom TUE Cnuncu.—Letters were yes-
terday received by two eminent Roman Catholic divines, re-
siding at the West-end, from the Rev. A. Renaud, Apostolic
Missionary, Candy, Sidney, conveying the intelligence that
the Rev. T. G. Wenham, M. A., Protestant chaplain to the
garrison quartered in that district, had, on the last festival
of St. Peter and St. Paul, resigned his profitable cure and
sought admission into the Catholic Church. The rev. con-
vert is described as a man of highly cultivated mind and

lIITNING.—A notice has been
received at Lloyd's, reporting a serious accident to the French
ship Cecilia, which had put into the Mauritius on the Bth of
June last almost a wreck from the effect of lightning, and
with a loss of four men. The vessel eight days previous had
encountered a fearful tempest of lightning and thunder, in
the height of which she was struck by the electric fluid.
occasioning serious damage in every part of the ship to such
an extent that it was expected she would immediately
founder. The four seamen who lost their lives were stand-
ing forward close to the chains. They were burnt dread-
fully, and when found their clothes were on fire. The ship's
repairs would occupy nearly a month before she would be

fiCagain for sea. -
PARTRIDGES IN THE LONDON MARKETS.—Yesterday
being the first day of the partridge season, Newgate and
Leadenhall markets, as well as the principal poulterers' shops
in the metropolis, presented a better show of birds than is
generally seen at the commencement of the season. Par-

tridges are in prime condition, and sold at ss. and Gs. a brace,
the smaller birds were sold at 3a. 6d. and 4s. a brace, and
there were several hampers offered at 2s. and 2s. 6d. per
brace; but which, from their appearance, must have been
slaughtered previous to the Ist of September. Hares are
fine, and fetched from 3s. to 4s. 6d. each.
Mr. Robert buncombe Shafto, of Whitworth, is named
as a candidate for North Durham, at the next general elec-
tion, on the free-trade interest.

ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE
FROM FIRE.—The corporation of the City of London having
made a grant to the Society of two hundred pounds, for the
purchase of six machines, with their appurtenances, that
number has been completed, and placed in various districts
of the City. The society has now twenty-one stations, ex-
tending over one-third of the metropolis, and as the funds
increase, they will be enabled to extend their sphere of use-
fulness. During the last two years the society, by the aid
of their machines, have saved nineteen persons, who other-
wise must inevitably have perished by the most terrible of
all deaths—that by fire. Two more machines are building,
and will shortly be placed in West Strand and Brompton.
WRECK OF AN AMERICAN EAST INDIA TRADER.—
Letters have arrived communicating intelligence of the total
wreck of the American East India trader the Gentoo, COra •
mender Hollis master, belonging to Boston, with a cargo of
indigo, saltpetre, &c. Her loss occurred on the night of the
29th of last April, on a reef of rocks in Stray's Bay, on the
same spot where the Duke of Northumberland Indiaman was
wrecked a few years since. The weather at the time was
boisterous, the wind blowing almost a gale from the N.E.,
and raining heavily. She struck at about ten o'clock, un-
fortunately with such violence as to carry away a large por-
tion of the keel, and the water rushing into the hold she fell
over on her broadside, when she quickly became a complete
wreck. With the exception of a lady passenger, her two
children, and servant maid (names not mentioned), all on
board were saved, amounting in number to forty individuals,
a third of whom were passengers. The unfortunate lady and
her children were lost by one of the boats swamping after
they had been lowered into it. The seamen strove to save
them, but a heavy sea swept them beyond human reach.
The vessel was nearly 500 tons burden. She was bound to
Boston from Calcutta. Her loss is reported to be upwards of
25,000/.
DISCOVERY OF SKELETONS AT SOUTH LAMBETH.—
A vast number of houses have to be pulled down, to make
way for the extension of the South-Western Railway to
Waterloo-bridge, and the excavations are carried to a depth
of from sixteen to eighteen feet, and consequently by far
deeper than were the foundations of the houses recently de-
molished. On Saturday lust, whilst the men were digging
below the foundations of some houses recently standing on
the Lambeth side of the Wandsworth-road, and opposite to
Philip's fruit tree nursery, they found two skeletons of hu-
man beings. They were neither of them perfect, the skulls
and some of the large bones alone remain. The bones were
quite black, and upon being handled crumbled to dust.
They appeared to have been in the place they were found a
century and a half, and were probably those malefactors or
felo-de-ses buried at cross roads, or some of the :unhappy
victims of the great plague. Mr. Carter, the coroner, thought
it unnecessary to hold an inquest.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH.—Yesterday morning, shortly
after six o'clock, a man named Bailey, in the employ of Mr.
Cubitt, of Thames-bank, in going to his work, discovered
the body of a gentleman lying on the shore of the river,
opposite to St. George's-square, Thames-bank, apparently
left by the receding tide. A policeman was called to the
spot, and the body was conveyed to the King's Arms public-
house, when the usual means were adopted to restore anima-
tion, but without effect. In the course of the morning the
body was claimed by a gentleman named Baker, who stated
that the deceased was a gentleman of independent property,
and very respectably connected ; his name was William John-
son, and he bad resided for sometime past atNo.l4, Belvoire
terrace,Vauxhall-bridge-road. He had left home after dinner
on the previous evening with the intention of taking a walk,
which was the last time he was seen by his friends alive. It
appears that he had been in a depressed state of mind for
some days past, but his family could form no opinion what-
ever how he came in the river.
THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The following
notice, by command of the Commis=ioners of Woods and
Forests, is now posted at the principal entrance to the new
Palace of Westminster :—" Great inconvenience and inter-

THE LATE FORGERY AT COUTTS'

RE-EXAMINATION OF CAPT. RICHARDSON.

MANSION-HOUSE.
The examination of Mr. W. Pulsford (continued from
our Afternoon Edition of yesterday)—After receiving
the particular cheque for 10/. from Mr. Whitmore, witness
gave, on 16th, the same cheque to Mr. Richardson. Had
not seen the cheque since. The cheque was not altered
in any way. The prisoner never stated to him to whom
he had delivered the cheque. There was some talk
about as to whom it was to be paid. Witness was
at Mr. Bushe's office on Wednesday last, when
Captain Richardson said he had delivered it to a person
with thin mustaschios, rather sallow complexion, and
thin stature. Witness thought the prisoner then
stated that he had never seen the person before. Was
not positive about that. Thought the prisoner said
that the man called upon him at his private
house, and he thought he said he delivered the cheque to
him there. Never had had any conversation with the pri-
soner about it before any person.
Cross-examined—The prisoner, witness believed, said
that the person to whom he gave the cheque was Howell's
messenger.
Mr. Bushe here stated that Mr. Whitmore and Mr.
Stephenson had not arrived from the country.
Mr. Fry, the solicitor to the company, was then called,
who stated that Mr. Whitmore and Mr. Stephenson were
travelling, and he had done all in his power to find them,
but had not accomplished that object. He believed that
if time was given Mr. Whitmore would attend, and that
no warrant was necessary to compel the attendance of
either gentlemen.
Cross-examined—Mr. Whitmore was in Calais, but
he did not know where Stephenson was.
Mr. Pulsford recalled and examined by the solicitor
for the prisoner.—As a cautious man, he should say he
had never seen the identical cheque for 5,000/. before.

Mr. Baine, one of the solicitors of the company, was
pres,mt at Mr. Bushe's office on Wednesday last, when
the prisoner made a statement concerning a cheque for
5,000/., paid by Coutts and Co. The prisoner said he
bad seen the cheque, and referred to a previous interview
be had had with Coutts and Company with respect to
the cheque.
The solicitor for the prisoner objected to the exami-
nation, which was not pressed by. Mr. Bushe.
Mr. Coulthurst, a partner in the house of Coutts and
Co.—Recollected Capt. Richardson, in company with Mr.
Fry, and Mr. Baine coining to the bank. A clerk of the
company applied to witness, in the presence of the pri-
soner, to take away the paid vouchers, which witness re-
fused as irregular, as the account had not received the
sanction of all parties. Witness said to the prisoner
this is a frightful fraud; to which he answered, it was.
He then said he had drawn the cheque (the 5,0001.)
for 10L, and that it had been altered to 5,0001 ;
that his signature was genuine, and that he
believed the other two were also. He said that the
number of the cheque was in his handwriting, and that
all was except the figure one and the 5,000/. He said
that be had given the cheque to some person in the em-
ploy of an individual on the Stock Exchange.
Cross-examined—Was not aware whether the pri-
soner knew it was against the rule of Coutts and Co. to
give up paid cheques.

Joseph Longden, a clerk in the house of Coutts and
Co., recollected the prisoner and others coming to the
bank on Tuesday the 25th of August. The prisoner
asked for the vouchers of the paid cheques, which were
produced by Mr. Inglebach, a clerk in the house of
Coutts and Co., but they were refused to be given up.

Mr. Jerningham, a clerk in the issue department of
the Bank of England, changed three 1,0001. notes on the
20th of July last. The person who presented them was
the prisoner, and he gave the name of Jones, and
addressed them Dublin. The prisoner was in
his presence half an hour, and he had
not the slightest doubt of his identity. Witness parti-
cularly recollected the transaction, as he had a suspicion
that they would hear further about it, and in consequence
made a particular memorandum in the book. Upon being
pressed for a more particular address, he said Linen Hall,
Dublin, and Furnival's Inn Hotel, London. He appeared
much agitated, and upon being asked to put his name
to the note, he appeared nervous, and asked others
present to do it.

Mr. Thomas Ager corroborated the evidence of the
last witness. He was also a clerk in the issue depart-
ment of the Bank of England. Witness supplied
the gold for the notes to the prisoner, who
asked a porter to carry it for him to a cab outside the
Bank. The prisoner then left the Bank, and wit-
ness followed him. Stated that he was sorry,
but he must have the money back to
reweigh it. The prisoner said it was all right, but ulti-
mately came back, the money was reweighed, and the
prisoner went away with it. Had no doubt of the iden-
tity of the prisoner.
Mr. Higman, chief clerk of the issue department,
gave the same evidence he did on Saturday. He had no
doubt the prisoner was the party who came to the Bank
with the notes, and obtained the gold.
Mr. Payne, an inspector of notes in the Bank of
England, stated that the prisoner, on the 20th of July,
applied to him for gold for the notes, stating that the
commission for transmitting money to Dublin was so
heavy, that he thought it better to take it over himself.
Witness had no doubt of the prisoner's identity.
Early, a porter of the Bank of England, recollected the
prisoner coming to the Bank in July. He was going
away in a cab, when he was called back, and afterwards
he left in the cab, which was at the gate of the Bank for
twenty miuutes.
Leonard Dean, hall-porter of the Bank of England—
Carried the gold to the cab, and he believed for the
prisoner at the bar.
Mr. Bushe said he had completed the first branch of
his evidence, and he would now call evidence to show
what occurred at the apprehension of the prisoner.
James Dyme, 8,268, cab-driver of 262 patent safety
cab—Was hired at the stand, Gray's Inn, to drive to the
Bank. The prisoner looked like the gentleman who
hired him. After reaching the Bank, he stopped about
three-quarters of an hour, and received four or five bags
of money, when the gentleman ordered him to drive to
Furnival's Inn. Just as he was about to drive off, the
porter came out, and after saying something to the
prisoner, the money and he went inside, and ho
(witness) waited ten minutes longer, when the gentleman
and bags came out, and he drove to Furnival's Inn. He
was going inside when the gentleman said, drive on, and
he (cabman) went up Gray's Ina-lane, up John-street,
towards Russell,quare, when the gentleman told him to
go on to Montague-place, what number he did not know,
but he (cabman) took out the bags, and laid them down
in the passage of the house they stopped at. The house
was half a ay up on the left-hand side.
Cross-examined by Mr. Woolf—lle thought there was
a gentleman in Court mere like " the fare" than the
prisoner. The witness being asked to point out one
person more like, pointed, amidst considerable laughter,
to the secretary for the railway company, of which
prisoner was the chairman.
Mr. Ilewell, who had been extensively employed by
railway companies, never did apply, by himself or
messenger, for 101., and never received such.
Mr. James Davies, a director of the company—Wit-
ness was present at a special meeting- of the board on
the 21st day cf May, 1846, when the then supposed
fraud was discovered. The chairman took the chair at
a meeting held on the present day week (Aug. 25). The
secretary read the minutes of last meeting, and the circular
convening the one then held. The secretary produced
the banke'r's book. One of the directors, showing tho
book to Mr. Richardson, asked him, " Do you know
anything of this?" Ile said, " I do not. I think the
first thing to ;se done is to see our bankers." Witness then
said, " I think: we had better wait till Mr. Fry arrives."
A conversation ensued, but witness could not remember
the particulars. Certain resolutions were come to at the
board.
Mr. Pulsford (secretary), then produced the minute,
, which did not appear of vital importance to the case.
George Russell, 34 City Police, apprehended the pri-
soner on Saturday :last in St. Mildred's-court (the offices
of Messrs. Bushe a.,-id Mullins). He was searched, and
six keys were fouuo' on him, five of which were now
produced. He said, " Supposing that all the Bank
clerks say is true, it is my own money ; I have the
power, as chairman, to sign cheques." This was said in
the justice-room.
Cross-examined—He was at the house of the prisoner
after he had been examined before Mr. Ald2rmau Mus-
grove. No violence was offered, as, with the exception
of one cupboard, every place was opened with keys.
Daniel Douglas, No. 13 City Police, went to No. 6,
Charlotte street, Russell-square, accompanied by one or
two more. Un proceeding to the house his authority
was demanded by the persons there. He showed them
it, and in one of the drawers he found a quantity of
papers and a bag containing one hundred, and one fifty-,
besides some Bank cf England notes. These were sent
off in the cab. Witness remained in the house, and
'when Mr. Mullins came a further search was made, and
a cupboard, of which no key could be found, was brokon
open.
John W. Murphy, clerk to Bushe and Mullins, went;
with the last officer and assisted in the search. Found!
two pocket-books in the long drawer of prisoner's
study. Found a bag of gold in the same drawe.e.
Found a bag of gold in one of the drawers of the sama
desk. Found four 101. notes and two Si. notes in the,
same place. Saw both pocket-books inspected. Found
another locked book in the same drawer. Witness having
received these, returned to the office of Bushe and Mul-
lins in a cab, accompanied by the prisoner's butler.
Richard Mullins, of Bushe and Mullins, proceeded to
make a second search on the same evening. On forcing
open the cupboard, he found the present cash-box, which
was not made till the other evening. On last evening
examined the cash-box, and found two packages, each_
containing fifty sovereigns.
Mr. Bushe sworn, said that on examining the two poc-
kets he fnind in a small pocket-book four notes of
50/., now produced ; he also examined the other
'book and found one 10/.. and three 5!. notes.
Atter opening the diary, he found between the leaves
two 501. notes, and behind the cover, which was loose,
he discovered money to a great amount. He found five
Bank notes of 100/., six of 50/., four of 1004 ; in another
parcel five of lOU, six of 50/. ; in another parcel six
bank post bills of 100/. each, payable to John Powell,
which made the whole value of property found in
prisoner's house, 3,2251. He (Nlr. Mullins) would prove
further that three 800/. notes had been obtained at the
Ba nls, in exchange for gold, and the same amount in
another bank.
aoratio Nelson, stepson of the prisoner, and living at
Kin. 5, Charlotte-street—He (witness) did not know any
person in Montague-place, and was not there within the
last twenty-four hours. After some conversation, the
wit ness admitted that he had been in Montague-place,
birt he entered into no house there.
:Mr. Bushe then craved a remand to a future day, and
requested that the property discovered should be placed
i. u. safe custody.
The case was then remanded till the 9th of September.
