city is open and defenceless the inhabitants could
not resist, and the Governor, Ali Podia, who has
no troop, was obliged to leave the city. The army

under Hessein Pacha is advancing in good order,
and as rapidly as the heat of the weather permits. Its
first operations will doubtless convince the rebels that
their plans, like former ones of the same kind, will never
succeed.

Ned.chib Effendi, who was charge d'affaires for the de-

fidelity to the Sublime Porte. The Sultan is resolved to

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARYLER ONE.

Yesterday George Heavens, a young man of respect-
able appearance, was charged before Messrs. RAwt,INsoN
and GRIFFITHS with having forged various hills of ex-
change on Messrs. Whittaker and Company, the extensive
booksellers anel publish, rs of Ave Maria-lane.
Mr. John Lindsay, of No. 27, Earl-street West, Edg_
ware-road, coated that the prisoner had been for some time
a lodger in his house. About three months ago he left his
lodgings, at wit jell time he owed witness a balance of rent
amounting to 21. In about a fortnight after he called, and
wanted him to discount a bill of exchange for 15/. is. 6d.,
purporting to be drawn by Whittaker and Co. on John
Smith, a bookseller of High-street, Maidstone. Witness,
instead of discounting it, indorsed the bill, and got it dis•
counted by Mr. Hodgson, paid the money over to the pri-
soner, after deducting his discount and the balance of rent.
From Mr. Hodgson it was pail away to a Mr. Hunter, who
discovered it to be a forgery. Before tl e bill came to ma-
turity prisoner called on witness with a bill of 291. los,,
which he wished to have discounted, but witness declined
having anything to do with it. He has since been in-
formed that it was discounted by a Mr. Balance in the city.
There was found o❑ the prisoner's person another bill of
exchange fur 221. 14s. 6d., drawn by Whittaker and Co.
on Henry Grey, of High-street, Chelmsford, which
be admitted was also a forgery. 'Witness under-
stood hint to say it was his intention to issue this
bill to provide in part for the two other bills. At
the station•house prisoner wished witness to use his
influence with his brother-in-law not to press the charge
against him. He said it was a most serious thing, but it
was not for himself he cared, but for his poor wife and
family. He again sent for him to the station-house on
the morning after• his apprehension, and asked witness
whether it could not he accommodated, as he was aware if
no charge was brought against him he must be discharged.
Witness replied, that they could not do it themselves, as
Mr. Hudson and Mr. Hunter were made acquainted with
his apprehension.

A messenger was despatched for one of the partners of
Messrs. Whittaker and Co. to attend, but he returned as
the office was about to c:ose with a letter from the firm,
stating that their signature to the bill of 151. ls. 6d. was a
forgery, and that it would be inconvenient for them to at-
tend that day.

The prisoner was then remanded, in order to give time
for the production of all the witnesses on the three forged
bills of exchange.
We understand that the prisoner 'had formerly been a re-
spectable broker in Bath, but misfortune had compelled
him to come to London, where he has supported his family
by his abilities as an author.
During the examination the prisoner several times burst
into a flood of tears.
