SOUTHWARK.

UTTERING FORGED DRAFTS. Anthony Flood, a
young man of highly respectable connection,,, residing at
Brighton, was placed at the bar for further eaaminatio•
charged with uttering a forged draft to Mr. Burrell, the
proprietor of the Bridge House Hotel, Wellington-street,
Lennon-bridge, purporting to be drawn on Messrs.
M'Gregor, army agents, 17, Charlel-street, St. James,
by Lieutenant Dundas, 60th Rifles, who is at present
with his regimeLt at Bengal. There were also two other
charges of a similar nature.

Mr. W. H. Gutteridge, of Brighton, appeared for the

prisoner.

Th,,was Hughes, waiter at the Bridge House Hotel,
said that on Thursday the 11th inst. the prisoner came
to Veir establishment and r:-presented himself as
Lieutenant Dundas, 60th Rifles, and that he in-
tended to stop a few days. On Saturday morn-
ing he spoke to witness respecting the banking-
house in London, as he wanted to cash a cheque. He
told him the time the banks closed, and in the evening
came to him and expressed his regret at not going to
the banker's in time, and he produced the draft for 101 ,
payable to Lieutenant Dundas, by Messrs. M`Gregor,
army agents. Witness took it to Mr. Burrell, who ob
jected at first to cash it, but on the prisoner handing a
letter, purporting to be written by Messrs. M`Gregor,
authorising him to draw on them for 101., witness was
directed to go to the cashier and obtain the money. He
did so, and handed it to the prisoner, who, on the fol-
lowing morning, paid his bill and left the hotel. The
draft passed through a banker, and on being presented
at Mears. lll‘Gregor's, was found to be a forgery.
Mr. Wa'ter M'Grsgor was next sworn—He said
that Lieutenant Dundas, 60th Royal Rifles, kept an
account with their firm, and he had been in the Indies
with his regiment about 18 months. The draft in ques-
tion was, to the best of his belief, a forgery ; and as for
the letter, that was not in the handwriting of their firm.
It was with great reluctance that he was compelled to
give evidence, as he understoood that the prisoner's
family were highly respectable.

Sergeant Smith, of the A detectives, who apprehended
the prisoner, said that he had uttered similar drafts to
Mr. Buckmaster, tailor, and Mr. Hayward, a jeweller
and watchmaker, of Regent-street. They were both
drawn ou Messrs. M`Gregor, and one was signed An•
thony Flood, Lieutenant 60th Rifles. He however,
did not succeed in obtaining anything from them.
There was no such person in that regiment as Anthony
Flood, a lieutenant.

The ➢Magistrate said that it was requisite that some
person who knew Lieutenant Dundas's signature should
be present, therefore he should remand the prisoner
until Wednesday, when he should recommend that some
attorney should be instructed by the prosecution, as
there were several new pints of law in the case.

EVENING, DECEM-BER 29, 1856

ment's flight to Mr. SMITH 04BRIEN. What pos-
sible good can come to Ireland of a war with
Persia ? What possible justification can
there be of it? "I," who have all
knotty points of policy unravelled at my finger's
ends, " I profess that lam unable to discover
what moral right the British Government pos-
sesses to interfere, in regard to contentions re-
specting a country which is situate a distance of
many hundred miles from its frontier, or what
legitimate interest England can have in giving
armed effect to such interference." One is almost
tempted to reply, would there not have been
wisdom in barring the wido cv's garden-
gate ere the writer lay perdu among
the cabbages ? But we have said enough of this
miserable document, which is insuring to the
Irish people, discreditable to the writer, and only
calculated for the meridian where Russia meets
with advocates, and Englishmen with traitors to
their national interests and would-be sappers of
their imperishable renown.

Elsewhere in our impression of this evening
will be found a very remarkable letter, signed
"Justitia," addressed to one of our morning con-
temporaries. It is a communication we cannot
but think peculiarly entitled to public considera-
tion. If for no other reason, for inasmuch as
it distinctly maintains a late rather notable
decision of the Horse Guards, a decision involving
the Summary Dismissal of two officers from her
MAJESTY'S Army, to be—illegal. Asserting this
illegality in plain terms (indeed, in so many words)
to be "allowed by competent law authorities." An
opinion curiously coincident, by the way, with
a hint thrown out pretty much to the same effect
not long ago, through a certain terse, pithy, sen-
tentious paper, published in a recent number of
the Lam Quarterly. As to the accuracy of this
rather startling estimate of a rather startling de-
cision—that, of course, remains yet to be
demonstrated. At any rate, as we took
particalar occasion to remark at the period of the
double and peremptory dismissal alluded to, it is
impossible—while commending the prompt and
haughty spirit in which H.R.H. the Commander-
in-Chief evidenced his resolve to put an end, if
possible, at once and for ever, to practices so dis-
creditable to her MAJESTY'S army (practices so dis-
creditable to it if allowed to be continued with
impunity)—lt is impossible, at the same time,
we say, not to regard with the liveliest sym-
pathies of condolence the noble family thus
poignantly affected, for the sake of benefit.ing the
Service by means of one Stern and Conspicuous
Example ! It is impossible, let us add, not to
cast one regretful glance upon the memory of a
brave old soldier, who now " sleeps well " after
" life's fitful fever," one whose gallant heart would
have thrilled with pain under a blow so dire and
in a manner irreparable, one whose whole career
gives him a recognisable claim upon the respect
and gratitude of the national remembrance.

TURKEY.

We have received the Constantinople journals to
the 20th. The articles of the capitulation of Kars
were considered as equally honourable to the vic-
tors and to the vanquished. The great object
then under consideration was to prevent the Rus-
sians from advancing into Asia, and the Turkish
Government, understanding that necessity, have
decided on doing everything in their power to
attain that object. Conferences had taken place
between the French and English Ambassadors on
the subject, and the Grand Vizier was, on the day
after the departure of the mail, to present to the
Divan. the measures proposed to be adopted
by the Minister of War. All that had trans-
pired of those intended measures was that a

GATEKEEPERS AND POLICE.

The gatekeepers are to shut the gates across the road
from the time the train is in sight until it passes the level
crossing, taking care that the railway is perfectly clear,
and that no stones or gravel be allowed to collect be-
tween the rails and check-rails.

The duties of the police will he to see that no person
except those engaged' on the line be allowed on it, under
any pretence whatever. They will see that no obstructions
exist on the railway, and will note particularly the pas-
sage of the trains, and call the attention of the gnarls
to anything that may appear improper in the loading or
calculated to endanger the safety of the train.
They will endeavour, to the best of their ability, to
afford such assistance to the guards and engine-drivers
as will enable them to carry out their duties a,ccor,ling
to their several instructions, and it will be their duty to
report to their inspector any infringement of these regu-
lations that may come under their notice.
Each superintendent will read these regulations to the
me❑ of his department, and obtain their signatures to
them.

Copies will be posted up in the engine shed, railway
yard, and in the huts of the men for whose guidance they
are intended. JAMES BEATTIE, Engineer in Chief.

It will be the duty of the superintendent at Balaklava
to see that the trains are ready at the time specified.
(+TAM'S.

Each train to consist of not more than 10 waggons,
and to be under the charge of a head guard, and two
assistants, who will be under his direction. Each guard
must be provided with a small red and white flag ; and,
before starting, it will be the duty of the guard to satisfy
himself that the waggons are properly loaded and coupled
together.

The train will be solely under the direction of the bead
guard, who will, by holding np a white flag, direct its de-
parture exactly at the hours specified in the time-table.
On arrival at nay station the guard will deliver over the
charge of the train to the superintendent of that place; and
on reaching the bottom of the incline he will deliver over
the train to the superintendent there, taking particular
care to call his attention to any faulty loading, &c., that
may have•shown itself during the passage of the train.
When the train arrives at the bottom of the incline

the engine will be detached and brought in front of the
empty waggons, to return to Balaklava ; and it will be
the duty of the guard and his assistants carefully to break
these waggons down. But the engine-driver will direct
when the breaks are to be put down and when to be re-
leased ; and the waggons, under any circumstances, must
not be allowed to come down the line except in charge of
the guard.

Any person infringing this regnlation will be imme-
diately taken into custody and handed over to the
provost-marshal.

In case of any accident likely to delay the train on the
line beyond a few minutes, the guard will send back one
of his assistants with a red flag, at least 250 yards, to
prevent any other train following in the same direction,
and en no account is this assistance to leave the spot
until the chief guard has signalled to him that he may
come on.

The chief guardwill be held accountable for the safety
of the train ; and should an accident occur owing to any
neglect on his part he will be tried by court-martial,
aid punished accordingly. _ _

The guards to keep ;journal of the times of departure
of each train on his district, and of any delay that may
occur, stating the cause of such delay, and any particu•
lar occurrence that may take place during the passage of
the train.

THEATRE

(From the Era of Dec. 30.)
A question of not very easy solution arises in the
mind of the play-going public as to the cause of her Ma-
jesty's non-patronage of this old national theatre. During
the management of Mr. Macready the Queen never en-
tered the portals, nor has she done so during the three
years of Mr. E. T. Smith's lesseeship. Her Majesty has,
in common with the subjects of her realm, a perfect right
to please herself as to the patronage bestowed at her
bands, but when this royal boon is freely tendered to the
principal theatres in the metropolis, it naturally creates
a wonderment as to the reason of poor Drnry's exclu-
sion. In addition to the loss of the royal favour, Mr. E.
T. Smith is also minus the annual sum of 2001. which is
usually paid for the royal box. At the commencement
of the present management the reason assigned by Col.
Phipps was, that the property had been in so many
hands that there was no appearance of regularity in sea-
sons, but a three year's term has wiped out this stigma.
This induced Mr. E. T. Smith a few days ago to apply
for the re-establishment of the royal box tenantry, sey
long the custena of previous monarchs, and received frova
Col. Phipps the following answer :

" Windsor Castle, Dec. 24, 1855.,
"Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your let- '
ter of the 18th inq., which only reached me this day,
and having submitted its purport to her Majesty the
Queen, I am commanded to inform you, that it is not.
her Majesty's intention to add to the number of theatres.
at which her Majesty has private boxes.—l am, sir,.
your obedient humble servant,
" E. T. Smith, Esq." " C. B. PHIT£S.
Thus Drury-lane Theatre, the only house where the•
company were legally called " her Majesty's Servants,'"
is excluded from Court patronage. We know not why,-
ther there be any difference of friendship between Mr. IT-
T. Smith and Col. Phipps, or whether the latter gentle-
man has any dislike to the nature or the quality of the
entertainments produced ; and we cannot for a moment
admit a suspicion of preference for other managers, alio w-
iag a biassed influence to be exercised over her Majesty's
choice. In fine, the Queen's Box at Drury-lane Theatre,
as a national custom almost amounting to right, should
be the property of her Majesty. One unpleasant result
of this affair is, that Mr. E. I'. Smith refuses to permit
Mrs. Frank Matthews, Mr. Chas. Mathews, and Mr.
Roxby to perform at Windsor Castle on the 10th of
January, in the farce of " A Nice Firm," which her Ma-
jesty had ordered for representation.

TEE ARCM' FJXPEUITION.

The following letter has been addressed to the Editor
of The Sun :
SIB,—An extract from the United Service Gazette, pub-
lkhed in The Sun of to.day, informs your readers that
Captain Paterson, of the whaler Pacific, has in his posses-
sion three copper bolts and a galvanised iron rod, which
he bartered from the Esquimaux at Ponds-bay this past
ettMlner, and which are supposed to have formed a part
of the ships abandoned in the ioe by Sir E. Belcher in
1854. It would be an interesting and important fact
to know if these bolts and the rod of iron bear the Go-
vernment mark or broad arrow.
The mention by another whaling captain, that the
Esquimaux had sledges made of bard wood, 13,-,red with
treenail holes, bears somewhat on my statement, that the
nittiVes who had seen a portion of Sir John Franklin's
party had not fallen in with his ships.
Iu 1846-7 the natives of Repulse and Pelly bays had
abundance of sledges exactly similar to those noticed
above, made both of oak and pine, the wood of which,
they said, had been obtained from a ship left many years
before by white men bear /stee-ehel.le or Neitelli, a place
often named by Flit. John Rose l his "Narrative and
close to where hh Wit his vessel in MI This," wood
tvit.o evidently a part of his vessel (the Victory), as It was
too thin to haite formed the plAnkinpt of st ittijr like the
Vuryi abanslontd at or on Fury-beach in 14111,0
In 1854 the Esquimaux I met with in the same igti'
lities as in 1846-7 had very few wood sledges, and these
were ettremelk old and thee ht Some of the
spring
were made of bone, but die majativ were of
musk-ox skin, folded up on a little wet moss or mild, in
the term of a 'sledge-runner, and then frozen. These last
Ate never used when the Esquimaux can get wood, as in
the (at which season the natives travel most) they
are thawed and pa out of shape by the heat of the
tiiid-day sun.
In 1847 wood was not in great demand by the natives,
because they had an ample supply for all their wants ;
but in 1854, a small piece, sufficient for a spear handle,
was valued more highly than a large dagger.
The conclusion I came to was, that, if Franklin's ships,
or one of them bad been found by the Esquimaux, they
would have been equally well supplied with wood in
1854, as they here in 1847, if not better.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN RAE.
London, December 15.

ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION. - The Montrenl
Herald states that the Arctic expedition fitted out by
the Hudson Bay Company was to have started from
Great Slave Lake some time since. The object of this
expedition is to visit the locality where, accorilin2 t
intormation furnished by Dr. Rae, Sir John Franklin
and his unfortunate couipanions perished, and t ascer-
tain more fully, if possible, respecting their sad fate.
London, England, 1856-12-16

THE NEW RECORDER.

Sir P. LAURIE said that now the pleasing duty of
moving the appointment of Mr. Russell Gurney as the
successor of Mr. S. Wortley devolved on him. That
was the most numerous Court of Aldermen he ever
recollected to have seen, and he hoped they would una-
nimously support his motion. (Hear, hear.) Mr.
Russell Gurney's connection with the corporation was
of a much longer date than any then present
connected with it. Ho had been connected with
the corporation for thirty years, and he had discharged
the duties of the various offices with which he had
been connected faithfully and cheerfully. (Hear, hear,)
He felt much pleasure in moving the election of Mr.
Russell Gurney to fill the office of Recorder. (Hear,
hear.)

Alderman COPELAND seconded the motion.
Alderman SIDNEY bore testimony to the fitness of
Mr. Russell Gurney for the office of Recorder, and
remarked that it would be an appointment that would
give universal satisfaction to the bar. In proof of that
he had only to observe that not one gentleman had
come forward to oppose Mr. Gurney, whilst 20 appli-
cations had been made for the office he would vacate on
his election to that of Recorder. (Hear.)

The motion was then put, and carried nnailimousiy,
the whole of the Aldermen present voting for him.

The court then terminated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.)
THE SADLEIR FRAUDS.-WALKER V. WILKINSON AND
London, England, 1856-12-16

ANOTHER.

Mr. Knowles, Q.C., Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and
Mr. Hawkins, appeared as counsel for the plaintiff.
Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Bovil, Q.C., and Mr. Herniman,
for the defendants.

Before the jury was sworn
Sir F. Thesiger rose and said that he had much
pleasure in informing his lordship that arrangements
had been (tome to between the parties in the action,
which would relieve his lordship from investigating
the particulars. He was bound, however, in justice
to his clients, to state that none of the moneys, for
which the securities on which the action was brought,
had ever found their way into their hands.
Lord Campbell--I hope there will be no " second
conference." (Laughter.)
Mr. Knowles—l think there will be no occasion for
it, my lord, because I have bound them down tight
(holding up a document.)

Sir F. Tilesiger said he concurred in his lordship's
expression of opinion.
The reoord W&3 then withdrawn.

This was the only action entered on the morning's
list, it being expected that it would have occupied the
Court, if tried, the whole of the day. It was under-
stood to be an action for the recovery of upwards of
20,0001. advanced by the Newcastle Bank on Tipperary
Bank securities, accepted by the late John Sadleir, and
endorsed by the defendants. If the trial had proceeded,
in all probability disclosures would have been made of a
far more startling character than any that have hitherto
appeared with reference to the gigantic Tipperary frauds,
and such as would be likely to throw distrust in quarters
where the greatest confidence should exist.
