CHARGE OP FORGERY AGAINST A CITY MERCHANT.—
Mr. Lambert Philip Mollendoun, commission merchant,
carrying on business at 75, Maritime, was placed at the
bar in custody of Huggett, the detective officer, before
Mr. Alderman Hale, charged with uttering a forged
indorsement to a bill of lading for the delivery of 300
quarters of hempseed, value 7501, with intent to defraud
Mr. George Anton, of Rood-lane, who Lad advanced
that sum to the defendant on the bill of ladinz.
Mr. Robinson, barrister, prosecuted ; Mr. Church
defended the prisoner.
It appeared that Messrs. Rhodes and Angel, mer-
chants, of Hull and Altona, were the consignors of the
cargo, between whom and the prisoner there had been
dealings to a considerable extent, and a bill of his was
offered in payment of the cargo, on which the amount
in question was advanced.
Evidence having been given of the forgery of the
endorsement,
Mr. Robinson asked for a remand, to produce wit-
nesses to complete the case.
Mr. Church, for the prisoner, said that at a future
day he should have a complete answer to t'uo charge.
He should be able to prove that the prisoner had au
implied authority to put the signature to the bill of
lading.
The prisoner was then remanded till Wednesday next.

the Royal Australian Gold Company. I was con-
nected with another company which was based upon
that. The Royal Brit:sit Bank were their b tnkers,
if it says so there. That company became defunct.
The Wandle Waterworks Company also became de-
funct. I have heard of the Irish Peat Company, but
I have hid nothing to do with it. I have not he trd
until this time of the Home and Colonial Improve-
ment Company. Mr. Gwynn was a director of the
Royal British Bank. Ido not know that he was a
director of any other company. I believe that Mr.
Cameron did at one time make a complaint that
there were so many of these companies with
which the Royal British Bank was connected.
He never complained very much that the parlour
of the bank was used by the directors of these com-
panies. I never had an account myself with the
bank. My partner, Mr. Margrave, however, had
a cash credit account with the Royal British Bank
to the amount of 5,0001. The balance owing by
Mr. Margrave to the amount of 4,0001. has been
paid since the bankruptcy. .
Mr. Linklater—l do not wish to mention the
name now, but did you in Jan., 1854, obtain for a
brother-in-law of yours a cash credit for 1,0001.
Mr. Esdaile—Yes, I did.
Mr. Venning—l may state, that brother-in-law is
not myself. I have no doubt we shall have the
family here ; but it is not me on this occasion.
Mr. Esdaile here deta'led the circumstances con-
nected with that advance.

Mr. Linklater—ln what amount did you find
that Mr. Walton was indebted to the bank on the
Ist cf February, 1855 I—lt was 46,6971., upon dis-
count account. Taking the discount and current
accounts at that date there would be due from
Walton to the bank upwards of 52,0001. The only
se,:urity the bank held for that debt was the deposit
of 52,0001. which was the mere deposit of the mort-
gage on the Helen Lindsay; the Hero, Magdalena,
Ocean Wave, Hornet, James Gibb, and William
Stevenson, and the commercial names attached to
the bill, c ins Raving the discount account. I think
it must have been that in the month of January,
1855, we learnt that there was considerable appre-
hension with reference to the security held by the
bank from Mr. Walton in the shape of that com-
mercial paper. The letter produced from Charles
Walton to Hugh Innes Cameron, the general ma-
nager of the Royal British Bank, is signed by Mr.
Walton.

Mr. Ellis objected to the reading sof the letter ;

CIRCASSIA.

The following letter, which is extracted from the
Pesth Lloyd, cannot but be acceptable to all those
per=ons who take an interest in the fate of the
Caucasian races :

" Circassian Ilear'quarters, Tuab?, Feb. 26.
"By means of the British steamer Kangaroo you will
receive letter, which will, perhaps, convey to Eu-
rope the first information of an event that may havevery
great influence on the 'future fate of the Circassian na-
tions. It is well known to ydu that Mehemed Bey
(Bangya), to whose person I am attached, has acceded
to the wishes of the chiefs and deputies of the Circassian
tribes, and has accepted the post of Commauder-in-
Chief. On Monday, the 231 of February, we landed at
Tuab?„l: where we have our head quarters. Before
our departure, Mehemed Bey engaged a couple of
hundred excellent military instructors for the different
arms, and they accompanied us hither. Mehemedßey
has already been solemnly 'proclaimed General-in-Chief
of all the Circassian forces. The princes, nobles, and
deputies of the people have sworn on the Koran to obey
him, and a deputation of the Circassian Diet has to-day
sent iu the flag of the prophet, which is the sytnbql of
the highest power. The enthusiasm was verygreat when
the new commander swore fidi-lity to the sacred standard.
(The flag itself is green, and on it is a white sword with
the crescent and the star.)
"Tbe excitement is great, and the Circassians are re-
solved to obtain their complete independence or to perish
in the struggle for it. It is expected that 150,000
(9) men will be in the field by the month of May.
`Russia,' said Mehemed Bey to me just now, will
soon have an opportunity of convincing herself. that
a new spirit prevails. I know the i:naterial3 which
:are placed at my disposal (Nletiemed Bey was with
the Circassians ' during the late war), and am of
opinion that a nation which, without a military organi-
sation, coull resist its enemy during '3O years, will,
when properly organised, be able to achieve its complete
independence.' You may expect to receive some im-
portant news from these mountaids in the coming spring.
You shall hear from me as early information of what
happens a 3 our means of communication will permit."

TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.
GENTLE:4EN,
;As Parliament is now Dissolved, I again solicit your suf-
frages.
The immediate cause of the dissolution is a vote of censure
on the Government, carried by the union'of various parties
in the House of Commons, and it is evident, from the expres-
sion of public opinion, that the vote so carried is net in ac-
cordance with the general feelinr, of the country.
As I have already represented your borough for 20 years,
and have been elected on six different occasions, my public
conduct mu 4 be well known to you. I have always endea-
voured to promote your interests, whether local or general,
and to advance, the principle of that local self.governmint
which you so highly prize.
Since the dissolution was announced, I have received the
most gratifying assurances of renewed support from all parts
of the borough, and I shall hope when the day of erection
arrives that I may be again returned to Parliament as one of
your representatives.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,

THE CITIE'S CH_LVA-PEKIN.

About 26 miles south of the great wall, in the
northern part of the province of Petch?li, lies Pekin,
the! Tartar capital of China. A high wall divides
the:city into two parts, the City of the Court and
the Chinese City ; the latter in the form of a paral-
lelogram, the former in that of a square. Both are
inclosed with walls, and cover an area of 17 miles
in circuit. The walls of the Court City are 40 feet
in height and 20 in th'cliness, forming a rampart
for horsemen to ride upon, for which purpose there
is at intervals a gentle slope by which cavalry can
ascend. Above the walls of the Mantehoo town
rise towers, nine storeys high. At every interval of
forty yards are small squire towers, awl larger
ones at the angles, flanking the walls. Pekin, by
the Chinese, is called Chun-thian-fou, which, being
interpreted, means " City of t'Lle flrot order, obe-
dient to Heavcn."

Though the—two towns cover sa large an area, it
must be remembered that this is not taken up by
If and streets as we find them in Europe.
If it we rathe population would be something
enormous. But a great portion of this space is
taken up by fields, cemeterifs, and gardens. The
streets, again,
very • are
broad, and the houses se-
y onl y
nerall one storey high. The P opulatiou has
been estimated by different authorities at throe
millions, two millions, and one million. Some have
even placed it as low
as six or seven hundred thou-
sand. The streets are spaci:4l3 and laid out
for the most part in straight lines, unpaved, 'but
clean. The houses are low, built or brick, and tiled;
the shops handsome, and the good.; 0041 y and

ON TRUE it FALSE SPERMA.TORREREA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi•
cal reader. We trust this may not bo the last, if he shall detect an,
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect,"—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this boo)
could find its way into the hands of those whe gaffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds wonlc
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is o
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to th.
empirical system of treating Spermatorrho3a, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.
