to it in this respect. It is its business to dis-
count good bills, and in doing so it obliges it-
self as well as the public ; it is no part of its bu-
siness to discount either bad or doubtful bills, and
were it to do so, it would only oblige the owners
of such bills, and not the public generally.—
Morning Advertiser.
We collect from the Ministerial Papers that
the Administration and that portion of their
former supporters which assisted their measure of
Reform, principally on account of its supposed
tendency to secure a considerable retrench-
ment in the national expenditure, are no
longer the firm friends which so long as the
Reform Bill was in progress they were, or
affected to be. Of this breach there need
be no stronger evidence than the abuse poured
upon Mr. flume on account of his electioneer-
ing proceedings by the Treasury Journals.—
It is described as a great crime on the
part of this Gentleman to recommend an
economical Reformer like himself to the electors
of Bath, since this recommendation may possibly
interfere with the election of a candidate who
has already made some progress in his canvass,
and whose merits are summed up in the im-
portant facts that he is brother to the Secre-
tary at War, and is supported, as is quite natural,
by the two Members fur Westminster, and by
Earl Grey's Government. For this offence Mr.
Hume is unmercifully chastised, cruelly remind-
ed of the Greek Loan affair, in which he so
finely illustrated his economical propensities
some years ago, threatened with the loss of his
own seat for Middlesex if he presumed to think
of such a piece of arrogance and folly as the es-
tablishment of an independent economical party

in the Reformed Parliament, and instructed most
dogmatically that the Reform Bill cannot get
fair play unless the Reformers combine as one
man to secure the return of placemen, or the
brothers of placemen, to the next House of
Commons. This, to say the least of it, is hard
_ _ _ _

treatment towards the n:an who made it his ho-
nest boast but the other day that he had fifty
times voted black to be white rather than leave
Ministers in a minority. If he was a zealous
Philhellenist until there seemed to be a
strong probability of his losing money
by the Greek cause, and no one was then
surprised at the change which suddenly came
upon him, why should he now be so fiercely
attacked, if, after voting black white for a whole
Session, and getting nothing for it, he refuses to
be so accommodating any longer ? Did the
conduct of the Honourable• Member in the affair
of the Greek Bonds afford any ground for calcu-
lating upon his gratuitous services for ever? Was
he to be prodigal of honour and conscience in
support of Ministers for eight months, getting no
pay, and then to be expected to complete his unre-
quited services by teaching the electors of Eng-
land that they would best secure the economical
objects of the Reform Bill by voting in
favour of Government Secretaries and their
brothers ? That it is convenient fDr any Ad-
ministration, and necessary for an Administra-
tion like the present, to have such partisans as
Mr. Flume once was, cannot be doubted. And

the mortification of the Ministerial party on the
desertion of this Gentleman is natural enough,
considering the importance to them of sup-
porters who will not see the difference between
black and white. But their anger, nevertheless,
is misplaced and injudicious, for such support is
manifestly too valuable to be long given away.
They should surely have been so well prepared

for the secession of the Hon. Member for Mid•
dlesex as to avoid any strong expression of dis-
pleasure or surprise ; for what is it but the se-
cession of one whose enmity to good places, at
least until he shall attain to the enjoyment of
one of them, constitutes his whole system of
Parliamentary tactics, from an Administration,
of the head of which it may be truly said that,
to provide for his family by means of good places,
constitutes the chief purpose of his official ex-
istence ?—Morning Post.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

Richard Glazier, an atto►ney, was charged with
having forged the signature of Gamlie! Butler, a
co-trustee of Mrs. Elizabeth Hughes, and defrauded
the link of England of 436/. 165., lodged in the 31

city since the passing of the new Forgery Act.
Mr. FreshfiPld appeared on the part of the Bank.
Mr. Wm. Davis, of No. 21, Ludgate-street, stock-
broker, deposed that he knew Mr. Gl..zier, the pri-
soner, and received instructions from him to sell
some stock in the 3} per Cents. Witness sold
4361. 16s. stock for him on the 27th or April, 1830.
Had done three or four transactions for him before,
and had no doubt that the prisoner was the man
who had given him the instructions to sell the stock,
as he had know►► Mr. Glazier some years before.
Witness identified the check paid to the prisoner
for the stock; it was payable at Loyd's bank, and
in the handwriting of his partner.
John Joseph Hulme, a clerk in the 3i- per Cent.
Pay-office of the Bank of England, deposed, that
he witnessed the transfer of the stock, and identified
the transfer. The demand on the back of the
transfer was made by the person who ttansferred the
stock, and the demand was made on the same day.
Cross-examined by Mr. Harmer, who attended
for the prisoner—No transfer was male until the
demand was made.

Mr. George Symea Gascino, a clerk in the Bank,
looked at the power of attorney and instructions,
and examined the instructions before the power
of attorney was made out, on the 24th of April,
1830, agreeably to the instructions.
Mr. William Bowman, agent and accountant, of
No. 2, Copthall-buildings, deposed that he had
known the prisoner nine or ten years. Had not
seen the prisoner's handwriting for four or five years;
knew it previously, but would not say that the sig-
nature to the instructions was his, unconnected with
tie other parts of the instructions. The witness was
handed a letter from the prisoner to Mrs. Hughes,
upon the subject of the dividends arising from the
stock, which letter he identified as the prisoner's
handwriting.

Miss Ann Butler, sister to Mr. Gamaliel Butler,
an attorney, who, she said, left this country in Ja.
nuary, 1824, for Van Diemen's Land, and resided
at Hobart-town, said her brother had not been in
this country since that period. He had, since his
departure from this country, constantly written to
witness, who did not believe the signature to the
power of attorney, authorizing the sale of the stock,
to he his handwriting.
Cross-examined—Heard from her brother a mon,h
ago. He was gone to reside at Van Diemen's Land
entirely, and laboured under some pecuniary difficul-
ties before he left this country.
Mr. Francis White, auctioneer, of Hounslow,
knew Mr. Thaler well; and did not believe the sig-
nature to the power of attorney to be his hand-

writing'.
Cross-examined—Had not seen him write since
inuary, 1821. Believes he went to Van Diemen's
Land in 1524. Did not know whether Mr. Butler
c tine back since that period:

Mr. E. Butler, son of Mr. G. Butler, deposed,
that he had arrived from Van Diemen', Land on the
1 7th of last month, and that he left his father there.
