struggles to cultivate literature, contrasted with the ad-
vantages enjoyed in these days by the most straitened in
their means, who pursued knowledge under difficulties.
He strongly urged the acquisition of knowledge, and the
study of literature fur their own sake, independently of
the fame or advantage which might be derived from
them, and concluded a speech of considerable ability,
delivered with great modesty and propriety, by proposing
" Thanks to the Board of Directors of the Athenaeum
for their efforts to render the present meeting interesting
and instructive." _ _

Mr. WGREGOR, of the Board of Trade, in seconding
the motion, expressed the great satisfaction he had de-
rived from being present at that celebration. lie had
been highly gratified by the results of the inquiries he
had made as to the usefulness of the institution.—
(Cheers.) If there was any community in the world
among which intelligence could be more eminently use-
ful than another, it was in a great manufacturing and
commercial community like that which c ,nstituted the
population of Manchester and its surrounding districts.
—(Cheers.) The history of manufactures, commerce,
and navigation, was the history of intelligence and of
civilisation. In those countries where ignorance pre-
vailed the people were the least advanced in wealth and
prosperity; they were in a state of the greatest defirada-
Lion and immorality. On the other hand, they 'found
that with intelligence nations became great, virtuous,
and powerful.—(Cheers.) If they examined the condi-
tion of European nations, they would find this to be
universally the case, while in such countries as America
they found anarchy the result of ignorance, and her un-
developed resources the effect of deficient intelligence
in her citizens.--(Cheers.) It was grettly to the credit
of Manchester that while the inhabitants had been in-
dustriously engaged in the pursuits cf trade and com-
merce, they had not neglected the conveniences of the
rising generation. Manchester might well be proud of
that institution, which had encountered and overcome
all its difficulties; certainly the committee were entitled
to every praise for the perseverance, integrity, and
ability with which they had attended to their duties.
The vote havinc, passed, and been duly duly responded
to, Lord Morpethbleft the chair ; and the Mayor having
taken it,

Mr. M. PHILIPS proposed a vote of thanks to Lord
Morpeth for having kindly consented, six months since,
to take the chair on the present occasion, and for the
distinguished ability with which he had performed its
duties. It was impossible to do justice to the graceful
readiness and good nature with which his Lordship had
accepted the office of president on that occasion ; and,
although it was very inconvenient for public men to
make such engagements so long beforehand, he must
say, speaking as a commercial man, they drew upon the
Noble Viscount at six months, and he was kind enough
to accept at sight. Since that period his Noble Friend
had attained high office under the Crown ; but, although
his occupations and public duties had become much more
onerous than they were before his acceptance of the
post, he had allowed no private convenience, no public
duty, to interfere with his engagement to be with them.
—(Cheers.) He was quite sure when they reflected on
the intimate connexions which subsisted between the
Noble Lord and the large constituency he represented,
similar in many respects, both in character and pursuits,
to Manchester, they had touched a chord that vibrated
in unison with their own ,feelings—(Cheers)—and he
called upon them all to show their gratitude to the
Noble Lord for coming among them, and for the splendid
address he had delivered.—(Cheers.)
Mr. W. BROWN, M.P., seconded the motion, which
was put by the Mayor, and carried by acclamation and
waving of handkerchiefs.
Lord MORPETH said, after the marked kindness, and,
I-must say also, after the admirable patience with which
you have listened both to myself and to those who suc-
ceeded me during our already protracted sitting, I should
think myself indeed inexcusable if I inflicted a further
trespass on your exhausted attention. But it is impos-
sible for me to withhold the utterance of my deep and
sincere gratitude for the cordial welcome which I have
now experienced from you. I have already told you
what my sense of the honour done to me was ; I could
hardly tell you, before I had experienced it, my sense of
the pleasure I had received. I had heard much indeed
of the annual assemblies, but I must say the result has
infinitely surpassed anything I could have expected. I
had heard much of the Free-Trade Hall, though I
must not now talk about free trade. But I certainly
did not look upon its birth-place with any disrespect.
—(Cheers.) I did not, however, exp3ct to see it
radient with all the decorations of the Alhambra and
shining like a feast of Chinese lanterns.—(Cheers.) Your
excellent Member has alluded to my present connexion
with the immediate service of the Crown. Certainly,
the superintendence of her Majesty's Woods and Forests
would not seem to bring me into immediate connexion
with the chimneys and furnaces of Manchester ; but I
believe I may say with truth that there is no department
of the public service which may not receive valuable and
useful instruction in your good town and enterprising
community of Manchester.—(Cheers.) He has also
alluded to the constituency, so kindred with your own
in many respects, with which it is my happiness and my
pride to be connected. I am not going to allude any
more to foreign than to domestic politics ; but I cannot
help exclaiming, in the spirit of a former French King
who had an eye, perhaps too keen—an eye to meddle
with Spain—(Loud cheers and laughter)—when he said,
1. Henceforth there are no Pyrenees "—I feel, after
the links of rapid communication which now bind to-
fiether the two communities, which fasten together
our White and Red roses, " There is no Blackstone
Edge."—(Cheers.) But you all have been listening
for a long time to our wise saws and our grave maxims ;
I must not forget that you are now called to more en-
livening measures and to more exhilirating movements.
Your Member said he would indulge in a commercial
allusion; well, I say, I see before me enough of the raw
material—(Loud laughter)—of melody and of beauty,
to weave into a fairy web of graceful gaiety and light-
hearted—e(Cr

Dancing then commenced, which was continued till a
late hour.

followinga statement? This person, for upwards
g a sum of money, and intimating that he
of a month past, has been writing threatening letters to
he would stop the members and inform
them that he had a writ against tar. To these letters
I have given but one reply—viz., that I never had heard
of the writer in my life, that I was totally uncon-
scious of having incurred any such debt as that alleged
against me, and that to my recollection or knowledge I
had never received any application whatever from his
apparent employers; but I added, that if he or his em-
ployers could show that I was indebted to them, and
would make an application for payment in the usual and
proper manner, I would attend to it without delay;
and taking it for granted that there was either
error or something worse in the background, I left
a written statement to the above effect with the
porters of the different clubs which I frequented.
Since writing that statement (about three weeks ago)
I have never received any application upon the
subject. I have been at the clubs every morning.
I have never directed the servants to deny
me to any one; on the contrary, I have always been
accessible to any one desiring to see me. Finding,
however, that the person in question was in the habit of
calling at the clubs at his own time, and after I had left
them, making this a pretence that he could not see me,
and informing the servants that he had a writ against
me, taking it for granted that he had some unacknow-
ledged purpose of, perhaps, extortion in view, I
directed the porter of the Athemeum, in case of my
absence, to give him into charge of the police upon
the first occasion of his creating a disturbance, or
obstructing the members of the club, as he had
threatened to do. By this step I felt assured that
I should come to the knowledge of his real object.
The circumstance occurred yesterday, as I had anti-
cipated, and the porter attended to my instructions.
Had I been aware of the apprehension of the party, I
should have attended before the magistrate to apprise
him of all the facts, as the conduct of the offender was
totally unwarranted and quite
inconsistent with the
legitimate object he pretended to have in view, although
quite consistent with the object I have suggested. I
take the step of making this case public, as I have little
doubt that the fear of publicity is the calculation (often
too successful) usually proceeded upon in such cases.

being 'MI QUARTER SESSIONS, OCT. 23.—This day
appointed for the trial of William Clare and
Will'am Quinlan, the engine•driver and stoker in charge
of the luggage train which caused the accident at the
Stratford station of the Eastern Counties Railway, the
prisoners, who had surrendered in discharge of their
bail, were
Placed in the dock, when Mr. E. James, for
the prosecution, stated that the prisoners having been
already tried and acquitted of manslaughter, no evidence
would now be offered. The Chairman said, that on
looking. over the depositions he saw very little evidence
against Quinlan, and he should have felt bound to have
ordered his acquittal. No evidence, , however, being
offered against either, all the jury would have to do
would be to return a verdict of Not Guilty. The jury
did so, and the prisoners left the bar with their friends.
THE BLIND TRAVELLER.—The celebrated blind
traveller, Lieutenant Holman, returned to this country
on Thursday evening, after an absence of upwards of
six years, during which time he visited Portugal and
Spain, .Algeria, and all the places in the Mediterranean,
penetrated
Egypt and Syria, crossed the desert to Jeru-
salem, and finally made an extensive tour through the
least fiequented parts of the south-east of Europe, in-
cluding Hungary, Transylvania, Servia, Bosnia, &c. As
on all former occasions, this extraordinary man travelled
perfectly alone. Ile has returned in perfect health and
spirits.— Liverpool Mercury.
BI RIVINGRAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.—A rumour
appeared in some of the morning papers yesterday, to
the effect that an offer of a guarantee by the Great
Western Company
to the Birmingham and Oxford Com-
pany had been made. We have ascertained that there
is no truth whatever in this statement. The Great
Western Board met yesterday, and the subject was not
even mentioned. The Great Western Company do not
intend to slake any offer whatever.

CoURT OF ALDERMEN

THE GLOUCESTER, ABERYSTWITH, AND

CENTRAL WALES RAILWAY.

A Court was held on Saturday for the purpose of
hearing and determing upon a complaint made against
brokers of the City of London. The proceedings,
which occupied the Court till six o'clock, attracted a
number .of gentlemen vi ho have been engaged in the
railway share market. _ _ _

Alderman COPELAND presented the following memo
Hal to the Court:—

" The humble petition of Josrph Franklin Rose, o
60, Stamford•street, in the parish of Christchurch
in the country of Surrey, Showeth,
_ _

" That on or about the 10th (lay of October, 1845,
your memorialist employed Messrs. Roches and Son, of
No. 6, Bank-chambers. Bartholomew•lane, sworn bro-
kers, to purchase for your memorialist 100 shares in the
Gloucester, Aberystwnh, and Central Wales Railway,
at the then market price, which shares they bought
accordingly, and charged your memorialist for the same
the sum of 3121. 10s., being a premium of 11. 15s. per
share, as appears by the ticket delivered to your me-
morialist.

" That about the 14th day of October, 1845, your
memorialist again employed Messrs. Rochas and Son, to
purchase other 100 shares at the then market price, in
the same railway company, which they also bought and
charged your memorialist for the same the sum of 3501.,
being a premium of 21. 2s. 6d. per share.
" That your memorialists paid the above-mentioned
sums for the said shares in the said company, at the
respective times of the purchase thereof, and received
scrip for the said shares, in the belief that the purchases
were bowl fide made by the said Messrs. Rochas and Son,
as brokers, and at the prices charged to your memorialist.
" That your memorialist, subsequently wishing to be
informed of whom the said shares had been purchased,
made application both personally and by his solicitor, to
Messrs. Rochas and Son, to produce their books, or
copies of the same, in which the purchases of the sa'd
several shares were entered and recorded. That not-
withstanding such application, the said Messrs. Rochas
a:-,d Son refuse to comply with the requisition of your
memorialist by withholding the information required in
respect to the purchase of the said shares, as aforesaid,
which information your memorialist respectfully submits
he is entitled to receive, and that the Messrs. Rochas
and Son, are bour.d to give, in pursuance of the obliga-
tion imposed upon them by the condition of a certain
bond given by the said Messrs. Rochas and Son, to the
Corporation of the City of London, under and by virtue
of which they are constituted and empowered to act as
sworn brokers of the said City of London.
" 'I hat your memorialist, under the foregoing circum-
stances, is induced to pray the aid of your Lordship, and
Aldermen of the City of London, to compel Messrs.
Rochas and Son to submit their book or books, contain-
ing the original purchase of the said shares in the said
railway company, for the inspection and examination of
your memorialist and his solicitor, and also to satisfy
them that the same shares were fairly and honestly pur-
chased by the said Messrs. Rochas and Son, and that
they were themselves not the holders and sellers of the
said shares, or any part thereof, and otherwise to aid
your memorialist in the premises as to your wisdom shall
seem meet and proper,

"And your memorialist will ever pray."
Mr. Rochas, jun., appeared at the bar to answer the
charge, and stated that his father, the head of the firm,
was in Switzerland, and that the duration of his absence
was uncertain.

Mr. Bramwell, the barrister, attended for the de-
fendants. Mr. Rose attended, with his solicitor, to
prosecute.

Mr. Bramwell, when the memorial was read, said
that in order to put an end to the business, and to save
the time of the Court, he was ready, upon the part of
the defendants, to let Mr. Rose examine the books, and
to give him all the information he required ; those books,
and that information having been withheld only because
the app!ication had been made through an attorney in
the first instance.

Mr. Rose's solicitor said that both he and his client
had applied for the books and the information both per-
sonally and by letter, but they received no satisfaction,
and to the last letter not even an answer was returned.
Alderman COPELAND said it was too late to make such
a proposition. The Aldermen sat in that court to see
justice done. The complainant had applied for what
the bend of Mr. Rochas, sen., showed he was entitled to.
The court must proceed with the investigation.
Mr. Rose was then sworn and examined by the RE-
CORDER.—He stated in detail what the memorial con-
tained in substance, and stated that he employed both
Mr. Rochas. sen., and Mr. Rochas, jun., in the purchase
of the shares, and he paid for them on the presumption
that the purchase was a bonafide one.
The RECORDER, perceiving that Mr. Rochas. jun ,
had not entered into bond as a sworn broker, observed
upon that fact, and said that the tickets were signed
Rochas and Son, of which he desired an explanation.
Mr. Bramwell said it would be absurd to attempt to
conceal the fact that Mr. Rochas, jun., was not a sworn
broker. It was decidedly wrong in that gentleman to act
as a broker without being one ; but he had acted in
ignorance, and therefore, as far as that was concerned,
he was at the mercy of the Court. That circumstance,
however, had nothing to do with the subject of the
complaint, which was ready to be rectified by the ex-
hibition of the books.

A long cross .examination of Mr. Rose was then com-
menced by Mr. Bramwell upon the particular transac-
tions which had taken place.
Lieutenant-Colonel Bateman stated that he accom-
panied Mr. Rose, to the office of Rochas and son, and
gave a detail of the conversation which took place
on the subject of the purchase of the shares, and refusal
to give the necessary information, or to show the books
containing accounts of the dealings.
Ultimately the Court came to the following decision :
—" That the City solicitor be instructed to put Mr.
Rochas', sen., bond in suit for permitting his son to act as
broker without having him admitted, and for refusing to
give the information which he was under obligation to
give by his bond, and in accordance with the duties of a
sworn broker, ou the application relative to the shares ;
but that the question of Mr. Rochas', sen., suspension
or dismissal from the office of a broker be postponed until
that defendant should have an opportunity to appear
before the Court. And, also, that the City solicitor be
instructed to proceed against Mr. Roches, jun., for hav-
ing acted as a broker without having been admitted."
The case, as might be expected, excited a great deal of
interest and curio.ity.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Richards, the secretary to the Kentish Coast Rail-
way, presented himself on Friday to the sitting magis-
trate, to say a few words in answer to a statement which
had been made the day before by Mr. Stokes, whose de-
ceased father was a shareholder. Mr. Stokes had repre-
sented that he had gone to France, and could not be met
with. That was not the fact. He had not been on the
Continent, nor had he ever contemplated going there ;
and if he could give Mr. Stokes any information he should
be most happy to do so. Like all other parties connected
with that railway, he had been a loser, and he was the
greatest sufferer by it. The only certificates issued by
the company were those signed by him as secretary.
Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE was sorry to hear he had
been a severe sufferer, and that he was not the only suf-
ferer. For himself (Alderman Musgrove), ho had from
the beginning repudiated all connexion with these pro-
jects. He had no doubt the newspapers would publish
his denial of the statement that he was not to be found.

BOW-STREET.
On Friday, a poor woman named Elridge, living in
Porter-street, Newport-market, sought the advice of Mr.
Henry under the circumstances detailed below:—
A short time ago her husband obtained a situation as
driver of one of the carts belonging to the new "Parcels
Mail Company," in the Strand, previously paying a
deposit of 81.,
of its servants, as a security. lie bad since applied for
which the " company" required of each
his wages, but they were refused on the pretence that
the horse driven by him had sustained some injury by a
fall, which they attributed to his carelessness. lie then
demanded back his 84 deposit, but the persons in
the office only laughed at him. The woman added
than she and her husband were in the greatest diitress
in consequence. She was obliged to pawn nearly all
her things to raise the 81., and they were now actually
destitute.

Mr. HENRY asked if the concern was bankrupt?—The
woman did not think that that was the case, as they ap-
peared to be carrying on the business with the deposits
paid by their servants.

Mr.-HENRY said itcertainly was a hard case, but her
only remedy was through the Court of Requests. There
had been many similar applications to him lately against
the same company, and this had suggested to his mind
the probability of the concern being insolvent.
The case of Mr. Henry Harper Lomax, who was sum-
moned for refusing to support his wife, should have
come on to-day before Mr. Henry, but at half-past two
o'clock the defendant entered the Court in such a state
of intoxication, that the Magistrate was compelled to
order him to be detained for a couple of hours, and in
case he should then be still unfit to attend to the case, to
be remanded until Monday.
The defendant's brother-in-law was in attendance, and
was anxious to make some statement with respect to a
charge which he wished to prefer against Mrs. Lomax,
but Mr. HENRY refused to hear any such statement at
present.
The defendant was then removed to another room.
MARYLEB ONE.
William Anderson, alias Macdonald, and Eliza Wright.
alias Anderson, alias Macdonald, were placed at the bar
before Mr. Rawlinson for re-examination, charged with
having been concerned, in an extensive way, in the
manufacture of counterfeit coin.
Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor, was in attendance to
conduct the case on the part of the Crown.
The evidence gone into upon -the first examination
was, that on Saturday night last the male prisoner, for
whom the police had long been looking, was taken into
custody by Inspector Penny and Sergeant Brannan, of
the G division, at the Wheatabeaf public-house, Edge-
ware-road, and that he was then told that he was taken
on suspicion of coining in Westminster ; he was con-
veyed to the Paddington station in a cab, and locked up,
and from information which the officers received, they
soon afterwards went to No. Co. Devonshire-street, Lis-
son-grove. Inquiries were made of the landlady, who
stated, that a parson answering the description of the
man Anderson was, with a woman whom she under-
stood to be his wife, lodging in her back-room on the
second floor. The door, which was locked, was then
forced open, and in various parts of the apartment were
found a quantity of plaster of Paris, a galvanic battery,
and a ladle, together with much white metal, and in fact,
everything which would be required for carrying on the
practice of coining. While the search was going on,
the female prisoner, who was not aware of any one being
in the room, suddenly entered, when she became exceed-
ingly confused, and endeavoured to put her band into her
bosom. &Annan, however, laid hold of her hands, timi

took from her bosom two packets containing 24 coun
terfeit fourpenny-pieces. She was extremely violect,
and cried out " Murder " several times. After she was
locked up, he (Brannan) returned to the house, and be-
neath the seat of the watercloset in the yard he disco-
vered hanging on a nail, a bag, which had in it some
moulds and two spurious half-crowns.
Further evidence was gone into criminatory of both
the prisoners in the above case, and in addition thereto
there was a charge brought against them of having, while
lodging together, in the month of June last, in an upper
room at 45, Duck-lane, Westminster, been engaged in
their nefarious calling. They had been living at the
house in question as man and wife, and when Inspector
Penny and Sergeant Brannan searched the place they
found in it a large quantity of base coin, cothisting of
half-crowns and other coin of different denominations to
a considerable amount, as also moulds, a galvanic bat-
tery, and other apparatus for coining.
The spurious coin, and the other articles referred to,
were produced by the officers. It further appeared that
the room in which the moulds, &c., were found was not
let to the prisoners, but to a man named Wileon, who
quitted the place, and nothing with regard to his present
residence was known.

The prisoners denied that they had ever been the oc-
cupants of the back room in which the spurious coin,
moulds, ttc., were discovered, at the house in Duck-lane.

Mr. Powell remarked that there were many circum-
stances of a very peculiar nature connected with the
case ; and, as it was a matter of public importance, he
should wish for the prisoners to be remanded, in order
that time might be afforded him for laying the whole of
the facts before the Attorney-General.
Mr. R&wLINsoN considered the case sufficiently strong
against the prisoners to justify him in at once sending
them for trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal
Conrt, and he should do so if the accused parties ob-
jected to a remand.

The prisoners did not object to the course suggested
by Mr. Powell, and they accordingly stand remanded
till Tuesday next.
A young man, who gave his name Richard Smith, was
charged with uttering counterfeit coins.
Mr. Cummins, a baker, residing at No. 1, Upper Baker-
street, Portman-square, stated that on the previous even-
ing the prisoner came to his shop and asked for two
biscuits, in payment for which he threw down a counter-
feit shilling; he was told it was a bad one, when he said
that he was not aware of it, and that he was a respect-
able tradesman.

Other evidence was gone into, showing that just be-
fore the prisoner went to Mr. Cummins' he had attempted
to pass a bad shilling at the Victory public• house in the
same street.

The magistrate ordered that the prisoner should be
put back to await the arrival of Mr. Powell, the Mint
solicitor.

Mr. Powell, on coming to the Court, was made ac-
quainted with all that had transpired in reference to the
case, and he declined, on the part of the Mint, to prose-
cute.

The prisoner was again brought in, and
Mr. RAwurrsoiki said to the complaining parties, "The
Mint won't take this case up; the prisoner must, there-
fore, be discharged."
Mitchell, the gaoler, spoke to the fact of the accused
having been in custody on a former occasion, and he is
now, upon what principle we know not, let off without
punishment, having, of eourse, an opportunity thereby
afforded him of renewing his nefarious practices.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mickel Butler and Charles Dipper, stated by the
police to be well-known pickpockets, were placed at the
bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having assaulted,
with intent to rob, an elderly widow named Esther Lin-
don, living in Willow-street, Shoreditch.
The old woman had been spending the evening at the
City of London Theatre, and was returning home at a
late hour, when she met the two prisoners a short dis-
tance from her residence, one of whom instantly knocked
her down by a violent blow in the face, while the other
held his hand tightly over her mouth to stifle her cries
for assistance. Butler- then forced his hand eh iwn her
bosom, and endeavoured to tear away her watch, which
was in a little side pocket, but after giving it a violent
Wrench, and almost succeeding, the window of an ad-
joining house was suddenly thrown up, and, seeing that
they must be captured if they persisted in their object,
they both took to their heels and decamped.
Policeman Cross, 217 G, who arrested them in their
flight, having proved that they were both notorious
characters, who had been several times convicted of
offences,

Mr. Rayson, a tradesman in King-street, Hackney-
road, stepped forward and claimed Butler as a late ser-
vant of his, who had robbed him of several sums of
money while in his employment, and allconded, without
his being since able to find him.

Butler was ordered to bo again brought up for the
completion of the evidence on Mr. Rayson's charge, but
both prisoners were fully committed for trial for the
assault and robbery upon Mrs. Lindon.

- LAMBETH.
Thomas Pim, alias Herbert Stanley, alias Peirce, alias
Franks, a stout, aged man, who was described in the
police-sheet as a "gentleman," was placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Norton, on a charge of wilfully forging the
name of Herbert Stanley to a bill of exchange for 631.
4s. ld., with intent to defraud Mr. William R) an, a
wholesale stationer, of 10, Merchant's-quay, Dublin.
Mr. Ryan, the prosecutor, stated that in the month of
April last the prisoner took a paper mill, called Bally-
lough Mills, near Rathfarnham, in the vicinity of Dub-
lin, in the name of Herbert Stanley ; anti soon after he
was introduced to him (Mr. Ryan) by his landlord, who
was a particular friend of his, as Mr. Stanley, a gentle-
man of considerale property from London, who had taken
the mills, and who was about to carry them on with great
spirit. Soon after this he (Mr. Ryan) did some business
with the prisoner, and the latter being in his debt to the
amount of 681.45. ld., desired him to draw a bill for three
months for that sum, and he would accept it. Witness
accordingly drew the bill, and the prisoner accepted it in
his counting-house, in the name " Herbert Stanley."
Soon after this witness came to London, and in conversa-
tion with a friend inquired if he knew any person in the
paper trade named "Herbert Stanley." His friend re-
plied that he had heard something of a person who as-
sumed that name, but whose real name was Pan, and he
(Mr. Ryan), in consequence of this intimation, was in-
duced to make inquiries at the house, No, 7, Bradshaw •
street, Old Kent-road, where he learned quite sufficient
to satisfy him that Herbert Stanley was an assumed
name, and that Thomas Pim was the real name of the
proprietor of Ballylough mills and the acceptor of his
bill of exchange. On his return to Dublin, however, he
found that Mr. Herbert Stanley, alias Pim, had ab-
sconded, and made a hasty retreat from Ireland, having
heard no doubt that be (Mr. Ryan) had been making
some inquiries in London about him, and from that time
until yesterday morning he had not seen him. It was
then discovered by Mr. Jones, and there could be no
doubt of the fact, that the prisoner had himself answered
the reference he gave as to his respectability, for he re-
ferred to a Mr. Francis, 7, Bradshaw-street, Old Kent.
road, and he (Mr. Ryan) had ascertained that tha• was
the very house in which the defendant's wife and family
resided ; so that the note which represented him to
be a man of high respectability and property,
had been written by himself in Dublin, and for-
warded to London, received 'and put into the post
here, and found its way back to Mr. Jones in the
usual course. Mr. Ryan, in conclusion, said, that on
arriving in London a day or two ago he gave informa-
tion of the forgery to the police, and a description of the
prisoner, and on that morning he met the prisoner in the
Kent-road not far from his house, and gave him into
custody. The prisoner then admitted his real name was
Pim, and that he had accepted the bill in an assumed one.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, entered into a
long and rambling defence, the purport of which was,
that he had taken the paper mills near Dublin, in the name
of a friend, who was very soon to have succeeded him,
but who had since gone to America. It was his inten-
tion, he said, to have paid every person, and there would
have been abundance of property on the concern to do
so, and leave a surplus, but for the isssing out of a pro-
cess of law with which he was not acquainted, and which
swept away wholesale ten times the amount of property
for a debt of 35/.
Mr. NORTON, after loOking over the authorities on the
subject, was of opinion that he had no jurisdiction in the
case, the forgery having been committed in Dublin.
The case was one, however, which in his (Mr. Norton's)
opinion, required investigation, and therefore the officer
would, if Mr. Ryan thought proper, convey the prisoner
to Dubin to be dealt with by the magistrates there.
Mr. Ryan said he certainly should take the responsi-
bility of taking the prisoner to Dublin, as he had ascer-
tained that for many years he had lived by taking paper
mills and swindling various persons. -
The prisoner, who seemed very anxious to arrange the
matter, was then removed from the bar.

SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN, AT EVERTON, NOTTS
—This place was thrown into the greatest excitement
on Sunday morning last, in consequence of a report that
the curate to the Rev. Robert Evans had committed sui-
cide, about ten o'clock. It seems that Mr. Cock, the
curate, rose and dressed at his usual hour, but appeared
to be labouring under some unpleasant sensation ; he
paced about, went into the kitchen, kissed his only child,
bid it good bye, then took it into another room, placed
it on his knee, and immediately applying a pistol to his
own head, discharged its contents into his right temple,
and fell dead. The report of the pistol produced alarm
in the family, who ran into the room, but the Rev.
Gentleman died immediately. Various rumours are
afloat as to the cause of the rash act ; domestic uneasi-
ness is most generally assigned.' He was a very amiable
and worthy minister, and his unhappy end has produced
a most painful impression in the parish.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.--The supply
of all grain to this day's market is liberal ; and we ex-
perience a good demand for fine fresh wheats, at an
advance of is. per qr. on last week's rates, and other
descriptions are firm in value. There is a steady inquiry
for barley, and higher rates are again obtained. Oats
and shelling are both dearer, the former ld. per stone,
the latter 2s. per load. Beans are firmly held, and in
fair request. In other articles no change.
AIR. COBDEN, M.P.—Our distinguished fellow-
townsman arrived in Madrid on the 7th ; in the even-
ing he was serenaded by a band of music, which played
several airs in the street opposite his hotel. The next
day, deputations from the Madrid Economical Society,
and the SpaniAl Mercantile Confederation waited upon
him, to congratulate him on his arrival in Madrid.—
All the Madrid journals, with the exception of one un-
influential weekly newspaper, supported by the Cata-
lonian manufacturers. have pronounced strongly in fa-
vour of free trade.--The correspondent of the Morning
Post states that, en the 10th, Mr. Cobden dined with
the British ambassador, and on the 11th accompanied
Mr. Bulwer to the Queen's drawing-room.—Manchester
Guardian.

A GAY BIRD.—The venerable Mr. Jay, the great
Dissenting preacher of Bash, at the age of seventy-seven,
has just led to the hymeneal altar a lady with a kirttuie
of 30,0001,—Banitur y Guardian.
