GUILDHALL.

Henry Moritz Goldschrnidt was again placed at the
bar on the charge of uttering a torged chequo for
211. 10s.

The evidence having been read over,
Alderman Giuus asked the prisoner whether he
had any remark to make, as he intended to commit
him for trial on the charge ? The prisoner said he
should like to be remanded for a few days to consult
a solicitor, and hoped he might be permitted to be out
on good and substantial bail, which he could produce.
Richard Cook said that he had another charge
against him of leaving a forged cheque at the Grecian
Hotel in the Strand.

Richard Clark, a waiter at the above place, stated,
that on Monday, the 2d of October, the prisoner
entered his employer's dining-rooms about four
o'clock in the afternoon. After remaining about three
hours, and having consumed a dinner, dsc., he called
witness and stated that he was unfortunately with-
out money, in consequence of meeting with an acci-
dent which compelled him to change his trowsers,
in the changing of which he forgot to take his purse
out. He (Clark) wished to know if he could not
leave something as a security for the amount (is. 7(1.)
upon which he left in his possession a bill of exchange
for three days drawn on Messrs. Glynn and Co., the
bankers. He called at the address given by the pri-
soner, namely,'No. 7, Agar-street, Strand, and found
it to be correct, but at the time he was not in.
The officer said that the prisoner had also tried to
pass one of the forgeries found on his person on a
watchmaker and jeweller close to Mr. Grafton's, in
Fleet-street, but the imposition was at once detected,
and he was thrust out of the shop. On making fur-
ther inquiries, he found that a sergeant in the metro-
politan police force had been a short time ago search-
ing for the prisoner for the space of two months, and
had actually followed him to New York en a charge
of forgery to the extent of 2001. He had compared
the bills with the letters, in the possession of that
officer, and there could be little doubt but what Gold-
schmidt was the person described.
Alderman GIBBS said he should commit the prisoner
on the first charge, but should remand him until Sa-
turday for the evidence of the metropolitan sergeant,
and others who might have charges to prefer.

GERMAN MUSIC GIRLS.—Some weeks since we no-
ticed the case of a German music girl, or street accordion
player, who complained to the police that she was de-
tainedin this Country against her will by her master,
although the period of her engagement had expired.
The police authorities accordingly wrote to the girl's
guardian in Germany, a man named Peter Zingal, in.
quiring into the circumstance, and they have now re-
ceived a reply from him, authenticated by the burgo-
master of ilelsheim, from which it appears that the girl's
engagement with Jacob Rauter, the master of the
music girls, does not expire till the 20th of Octo-
ber. She will, of course, be sent back to her master.
Zingal's son, who has a smattering of English, writes
to Captain Miller, here, on the general question of
sending these girls to this country, and as his letter is a
curiosity in its way, we append it without alteration:—
" Ilerr Miller—Sir—The raesen why such mayni girls
coin to Greet Britain is dour (this). Men cons and pro-
mise a dael rear money than what they get in our eon-
try ; but the parents dent new what they duin Greet
Britain if they nhow that their children must go from
one Dor to another they would not let go one their.
Sir, it is a shame to take Does (those) girls ther b(cous
their is plenty work in our Country, and plenty ]Meth
and Trink (meat and drink) for does who like the work.
Sir, the best way would be for You Sir if you bath the
pauer to get a wicb (whip) and wieb them all all out of
your contry—Masters wipt their girls, because it is no-
thing els but Laeanes (laziness) that they are going about
in England."—Glasgow Post.
According to the late statistical report made to the
Government, the number of locomotive engines con-
structed in France, and employed by the country in 1842,
equalled the number imported from abroad; in 1843,
there wore two more French than foreign engines; in
1844, the surplus was 44; in 1845, 76; and in 1846,
beyond which year the report did not go, this excess
was 161. In 1848, there were 294 steam-boats belong-
ing to private individuals and companies navigating the
rivers and seas. The numbers and force of the engines
in use on land, and acting as locomotive: in steamers
were in 1846 as follows:—viz., 4,395 engines at work on
land, equalling 163,402 horsepower; 461 locomotives, of
60 horse-power each, upon the average amounting to
27,600 horse-power; 338 engines used in steam- ships
and boats, amounting to 103,513 horse-power. These
together, give a force of 299,515 horse-power. Com-
paring the strength of man to horse-power, it will be
found that the steam-engines employed in France in
1846 were substitutes for 2,697,625 men.
