LITERARY FORGERIES.

A paper was read last night at a m3eting, held iu
the Assembly Room, Mr. Planche iu the chair, on
this subject by Mr. Lerein, M.A., F.S.A.

Mr. LEVEIN recounted some of the most notable
of the literary forgeries, on record, ex gr. the sup-
posed letters of Byron and Shelley, forty-seven of
the former and twenty-three of the latter, which had
been executed with great skill. The whole series is
now iu the British Museum, No. 19,377 in the col-
lection of MSS. The work "De Situ Britannia,"
which was produced as being that of Richard of
Cirencester, was particularly remarked upon by Mr.
Levein, and drew forth an observation from Mr.
Black that this forgery was one of the most
demoralising facts of the age as affecting general
history.

EARLY FLINT IMPLEMENTS.

Professor BUCKMAN produced a number of flint
weapons, the greater part of which he had picked
up on his farm at Bradford Abbas, Dorset—a farm
of about 400 acres. He contended that they all
exhibited proofs of being manufactured, and that
the sharp edges and rounded surfaces were not
natural or accidental, but artificial. He had a
bushel or two at home, besides what he had given
away, and he picked them in his walk almost daily.
They were being continually turned up in agricul-
tural operations. He picked out several small flints
(somewhat of the shape of a split egg) which he
said were " thumb scrapers," and used to scrape
skins by fellmongers.
There was no discussion upon them.

MURDER OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY.

Four Arabs, named Dahman-Ould Ali-Moussa, Larbi-
Ould-Larad, Larbi-Ould-Carla, and Bouzian-ben Chaurak
have just been tried at Tlemcen, in Algeria, for the
murder of an entire French family, consisting of Saint
Germes, a cattle-dealer, his wife, and their two grand-
children. Saint-Germs occupied a house in the environs
of Tlemcen, which town is not far from the frontier
of Morocco. He was in easy circumstances, and
sometimes thoughtlessly boasted of the sums of money
which he occasionally received from his sons, one of
whom was settled in America. He appears to have been
not over scrupulous in his business relations, and frequently
bought stolen cattle from the natives ; those transactions
brought him in connection with some of the Arabs of the
lowest grade, and enabled these latter to become ac-
quainted with the position of his premises. Saint-Germbs
had no great confidence in his neighbours, and his resi-
dence resembled a small fortress, being protected against
any nocturnal attack from without by doors stoutly barri-
caded, while a grated loophole enabled him to reconnoitre
his visitors before granting admission ; access was only
obtained to the upper part of the house by a trap-door over
a stable ; and Saint-Germs always had in readiness quite
an arsenal of defensive weapons. Notwithstanding these
precautions, the whole family were discovered, on the morn-
ing of the 20th March last, horribly butchered. An entry
had been made by breaking a hole in the wall separating
the stable from a shed usually left open at night to
receive any chance cattle brought to him for sale, and
afterwards by means of the trap-door giving access to
the inhabited part of the house. Saint-GermZ:s andhis wife
had evidently struggled hard with their murderers, who
must have consisted of several persons. The house Lad
been afterwards plundered and a cow carried off. A few
days later information was given by a native that the crime
had been committed by four men of the Beni or Ournid
tribe, occupying the military territory. A perquisition was
made, and a quantity of stolen property discovered. Further
information led to the arrest of the four prisoners. The chief
criminal appears to have been Dahman-Ould Ali-Moussa,
notorious thief, and who had frequently had relations
with Saint Germs in disposing of cattle the produce of
his incursions on the neighbouring territory. The evidence
being quite conclusive against the accused, three were
condemned to death, and the fourth, Larbi-Ould-Carla, to
hard labour for life. The sentence was received by the
prisoners with loud lamentations, taken up and repeated
by the whole tribe of the Beni-Ournids, who had been
encamped during the trial on the open space before the
court-house.—Galignani.

31R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, shires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth ;hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

.AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
IL/ EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-crosst London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,

T tIKMES.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—William Seymour,
a rough-looking youth, about 17 years of age, was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing
a watch and chain, valued at £2O, from Dr. John
Budgett, a physician t.nd surgeon, of the Commer-
cial-road, and Backchurch-lane, Whitechapel.
Last night, at half-past 8 o'clock, Dr. Budgett
was passing along the Commercial-road, on the
south side, when the prisoner dashed upon him,
made a snatch at his watch and chain, and fled down
a dark and narrow passage, called London-terrace.
Dr. Budgett followed him, and missed him all at
once. Dr. Budgett scraped his feet along the
ground, and at last came in contact with the pri-
soner, who was on the ground, and dragged him out
of the court. The thieves and such characters dwel-
ling in London-terrace, the most disreputable hole
in the parish of St. George-in•the-East, where he
attacked the doctor, hustled him, and made an at-
tempt to rescue the prisoner. Dr. Bridgett, who
displayed great courage, retained his hold of the
prisoner against overwhelming odds, until a police
constable named John Nightingale arrived, who
succeeded in apprehending the prisoner, and lodged
him in the station house. Nightingale said he was
not on duty last night. He was passing along the
Cannon-street-road in plain clothes with his wife,
when he heard the cry of police and murder, and
repaired to the spot at once. The doctor and the
prisoner were surrounded by a lot of roughs, black-
guards, loose women, and thieve; who made a des-
perate effort to rescue the prisoner. .
Mr. Benson said he had heard of the bad charac-
ter of London-terrace before.
The prisoner said he did not commit the robbery,
and that a woman came to the station-house and
said he did not do it.

Nightingale said that a woman did come to the
station-house and say the prisoner was not the man
who committed the robbery. •
Mr. Benson said as the name and address of the
woman was known she must be summoned to at-
tend and give evidence, and for that purpose he
would adjourn the case until to-morrow. lie was
very sorry that a daring outrage and robbery should
have been perpetrated in a public road. lie re-
manded the prisoner until to-morrow.

1882 to 1888, and to borrow money on that security,
was a plan that would be approved of. It
was submitted to the house by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. He thought the very rich parish of St. George's,
Hanover-square, ought to havo carriod out the improve-
ments in their own locality, such a measure as the one
Proposed being highly necessary. If the bill was the same
as that to which he had referred, ho took that opportunity
of announcing that ho should give it his most strenuous
opposition, and otherwise do his best to secure the rejec-
tion of the measure.

RESIGNATION OF LORD

In our first edition we stated that Lord Derby
had resigned, and that the Queen had accepted
his resignation. Iu Parliament this evening Lord
Stanley corroborated our statement by intimating
that her Majesty had intrusted the formation of a
Cabinet to Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Gathorne hardy

hand, she was prevented from carrying her threat
into execution.
The husband of the prisoner to-day attended,
and promised to take care of her, and after receiv-
ing some good advice from the magistrate she was
discharged.
In the next case John Hayes, a young man,
through some words with his father, attempted to
take his life by tying a pocket handkerchief so
tightly round his throat that it was obliged to be
taken off piecemeal.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he hoped the young man by
that time, after being spoken to by the chaplain of
the House of Detention, was fully aware that he
had been guilty of a great offence.
The defendant, having expressed his contrition,
was handed over to his father.

5, Wood-street, Milbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867.
Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, and giving strength
to the voice.
You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEI DEAR,
Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey.

FIRE AND LOSS OF LlFE—This Day.

Before the firemen of the metropolitan brigade
had left the great fire in Clerkenwell they were
called to attend another in King-street, Covent-
garden. Upon their arrival they found the lofty
range of premises belonging to Mr. 11. Bocking, a
basket-maker, in flames. Mahoney, one of the
firemen who had charge of the escape, hearing that
some one was in the burning building, ascended his
escape, and tried to push his way into the premises,
but the fire rolled out of the window so furiously as
to terribly burn the intrepid man, and he was unable
to render further assistance, but on the contrary was
obliged to be removed to the hospital. The hand,
manual, and steam engines of the Metropolitan
Brigade quickly arrived, and, having a good supply
of water, went to work in an admirable manner, but
they were unable to get the flames extinguished
until the building, which was three stories high, was
burnt out. The firemen, as soon as the ruins were
sufficiently cooled, entered, and found that a lady,
named Loofort, aged 67 years, had been burnt to
death. The body was placed in a shell and re-
moved to the dead-house to await the coroner's in-
quest.
