The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-

the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-

on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-live per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitabie
scale, may either be paid iu cash, or applied in reduction of future

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—COURT BEAUTIES.---MUCh has
been said and written relative to the assemblage of
female beauty celebrated under this title. The portraits
by Sir Peter Lely and Vandyke, in Windsor Castle, are
doubtless faithful representations of those fair and suc-
cessful aspirants to a notoriety which endures to the
present day. But how gratifying are the conclusions
we are enabled to arrive at in favour of our own times !
The polished observances' of modern society seem to
have had their effects in subduirpr the bold expression of
eyes akin to those that beamed upon the Restoration.
While a costume ever chaste and resplendent has super-
seded the stiff and formal sameness of the " olden time."
And to these important advantages may be added a
pleasing restorative and preserver of the complexion,
Gowland's Lotion, in removing every species of cu-
taneous impurity, and sustaining a brilliant vivacity of
tint, has- long been appreciated in the highest circles.
An assurance of the sterling' remedial qualities of this
invaluable article cannot be too firmly entertained by
all who suffer from irritability and discolouration of
the skin. - -

SPIRIT. orthe PUBLIC JOURNALS:

k ROW EVENING PAPERS, OF YESTERDAY. i
GLOBE.—The speech which Sir James Graham de-
livered in reply to Lord John Russell, in the course of '
the debate on the Irish State prosecutions, contained a
slashing attack on Lord Fortescue, as the Lord Lieute-
nant of Ireland under Lord Melbourne's Administra-
tion. Among other imputations, it was especially
attributed to Lord Fortescue, that he had made extra
and unnecessary appointments of stipendiary magistrates
on the very eve of' resigning the Lord Lieutenantcy,.
in consequence of the resignation of their offices .
by the Cabinet under which he held office. That
charge was met and confuted by Lord For-
tescue, in the House. of Lords 'shortly after it was
made. Last night the subject was introduced to..the
House 'of Commons by Lord Ebrington, the son of the
Noble Lord whose administration had been thus assailed
by Sir James 'Graham. Pursuant to notice, Lord
Ebrington moved for returns connected with the ap-
pointment of stipendiary magistrates-in Ireland between
the 2d of March and the 15th of April, 1841. We
refer to the complete answer 2vlich was supplied
to -thCztiiiiiotthy and grontireltrtack upon"
. -.Lord
Fortescue. The subdued tone and apologetical
matter of Sir James Graham's speech, in reply to
the clear, full, andoircumstantial disproof of the accu-
sation, showed that, for once, the Home Secretary was
confounded,' if-not ashamed. His 'shuffling, however,
sufficiently showed the reluctance with which he ad-
mitted the " inaccuracies" he could no longer assert.
" With regard to the ground of complaint of the Noble
Lord,' it. certainly appeared to be true that, in a few slight
particulars, he (Sir J. Graham) had been inaccurate in
his former statement on the subject of these appoint-
ments." The " slight particulars, with respect to which
the Right Hon. Baronet now admitted" inaccuracy," con-
stituted the gravamen of the accusation he had brought
against Lord Fortescue. The substance. of . the charge
which Sir James Graham alleged against Lord ,Fortes-
cue, was, that " after the Government was a condemned
Government—not content with adding seven Opendiary
magistrates- in these three months—in the last
gasp of an expiring Government—they appointed one
magistrate on the •very day they left office,"
The Home Secretary's imputation rested upon a non-
entity. The returns, now produced showed that the.
document, to which Sir James Graham appealed in
attestation of the 'charge 'against Lord Fortescue, had no
existence ; the returns further proved that there had
been no departure from-the rule laid down and enfJrced
by Lord Nornianby, and invariably acted. upon by Lord
Fortescue, of ant appointing a stipendiary magistrate to
any district.without having the .special circumstances
under which the application from the district' for such an
appointment was made, closely investigated, and fully
substantiated. The number ofspecial ma gistrates appointed
by Lord Fortescue within the time stated, and under the
circumstances alleged by Sir James Graham,-was repre-
sented as seven ; the facts showed that they amounted to,
two ; and these, after urgent applications, the rejection
of wich would' have involved a disregard to the safety
of person and property -within. the districts to which'
these stipendiary magistrates 'were appointed, had they.
been withheld. Yet these discrepancies between the
statements and the facts are " slight. inaccuracies
Mr. Labouchere Set the whole question before the
House in its true light.* The Right Hon. Gentleman ;
said :—" He could not admit that the question before
them depended upon any difference, or any small error
in the account which. had been referred to—it was,
whether the charge made by the Right Honourable
Baronet against the late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
of having prostituted his patronage, was true or not
(Cheers)—and that was a question of some conse-
quence. .. • . He now ap-
pealed to every Member present whether that charge
had not completely broken down?—(CheerS.) .lie
could understand the Right Hon. Gentleman in the
hurry of debate speaking under false impressions; . but
it would have done him more credit had he avowed the
error, instead of endeavouring to bear out the colour
which he had put upon the matter, and to attempt to de7
fend his statements' by such trumpery arguments as he
had used to-night. The question was not whether the
late Government were right in appointing stipen-
diary magistrates to the-extent they did, but whether
there was any case before the House to warrant them in
saving that Lord Fortescue made the appointments
improperly during the last few months of his adminis-
tration. The Noble Lord thought it was no matter
whether these appointments were • made between
February and August, or June and August ; but
that was the very gravamen of his charge • and if
it should appear that not seven but two only were
appointed during the last three months, the charge
was lost." Lord Stanley, and subsequently Sir R. Peel,
came to the rescue of their chap-fallen colleague. They
effected nothing in his favour ; for they failed .to shake
one of the facts on which Lord Ebrington rested the
vindication of his Noble parent. These facts were upon
the table of the House—returns. from the department
of which Sir James Graham is the head. The Secre-
tary for the Colonies and the: Right Hon. Baronet at
the head of the Government did,- however, prove
themselves worthy of having Sir James Graham for
a colleague. By endeavouring' to extenuate,' if not
to justify his "inaccuracies"--on which he rested his
imputations against Lord Fortescue—they at least raise
a presumption against themselves. It may be now
fairly inferred that Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peel
would have made the same groundless accusations
against Lord Fortescue. The discredit, indeed, attaches
to Sir James Grahain as the author ; but to them also
as approvers, of the now-confuted " inaccuracies," as
Sir James Graham mildly designates them. Beyond the.
walls of Parliament they will be . generally described by
another and a shorter:word.
STANDARI).—Mr. Wyse's motion, for the names
and birth-places- of 22,000 persons
. - employed in the
• public service was of course rejected.. It is worthy of
remark that Mr. Hume, who a few years ago proposed
and carried a'similar motion with respect to the soldiers
in the army, -opposed Mr. Wyse last night specially on
the ground of the invidiousness of such a motion ; the
fact.; we imagine, being, that. Mr. Hume was not much
gratified by the result of his own experiment, and
doubted whether Mr. Wyse might not be expoSed,
to a similar disappointment. It was, no doubt,
quite right to reject Mr. Wyse's motion upon
principle,' but we regret that the return sought
for was not made, for we are persuaded that it would
exhibit a very undue proportion of Irishmen (if
anything can be undue' in the matter) in the
public service, respect being had to the numbers quali-
fied by education and character in the respeetive
sions of 'the United Kingdom. Nobody, will say that
the savages who howled round Mr. O'Connell at the
emonster . meetings are either qualified by. educa-
tion, or entitled by their conduct, to. be intro-
duced into- the Queen's service ; yet these,, if we
are to believe the Conciliation Hall reports, are more
than commensurate with the whole. Irish. population.
Where, then, was the present Government, or the
Whig-Radical Government, from OW to 1841, to find
Irishmen fitted for office? SomehoW or other, however,
a goodly number of IriShmen have found their way
into the public service, as any one may satisfy himself by
looking to the tide waiters on the Thames. There is
hardly a foreign vessel comes into London that does not
bring an Irishman. more often two or three, from Graves-
end, and so we believe it is everywhere, and in all the
public departments. The " Irish Members" did nut lcse
the opportunity while their Whig-Radical servants were
in office.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per mile,
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 50i • and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 62k, it follows
that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris..
By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 435 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per
ounce for standard gold,. gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and
the exchange at. Hamburg h on London at short being 13 10i,
it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 1081
per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 1.08 per cent. against England; but the quoted ex-
change at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the above difference.

BRIGHTON, MONDAY, APRIL 15.—Lord and Lady-
Granville, who have been staying at the Duke of Devonshirele
house in Kemp-town , all the winter, took their departure
this morning for London. Baroness Bray also left Brighton
this morning for London, after a stay of several months.
Lady Louisa and Miss Georgiana Lvgon, Lord Calthorpe,
Lady Burnett, Lady Gamier, and Lord Wm. Graham are
among our latest arrivals. The unexpected arrival of a
company of the Scots Fusilier Guards on Saturday afternoon,
and their being immediately placed on Palace duty, led us to
believe that we were to be honoured by a visit from some of
the Royal Family. The rumoured meeting 'of her Majesty"
and the King of the French at the Pavilion was spoken of,
but on inquiry we ascertained that the Inniskilling ragoons,
who were to have relieved the 7th Hussars, have been ' de-
tained at Sunderland, where a disturbahce was expected in.
the collieries, and that the Guards had merely arrived to do
duty till quiet is restored in the north. Two troops of the
7th Hussars marched freM Brighton this morning en route
to Coventry. The remainder of the regiment will fellow on
Wednesday. The General Steam Navigation Company's
packet, the Menia, Captain Goodhurn, arrived this morning
Harbour' Shoreham arbour. from Dieppe, with about fifty .pas-
sengers, most of whom. took their departure by railway, im-
mediately after their arrival, for London. .

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

•
OLD COURT.
Mr: Justice Williams tcok his seat on the bench at ten
o'clock, and immediately afterwards the prisoners Win. Bar-
ber, Joshua l'iptcher, William Saunders, Lydia Saunders,. and
Georgiana Dorey, were placed at the bar.
'The prisoners, as before, were accommodated with seats.
Capt. Foskett was recalled—He was questioned by the
Court as to certain parts of his evidence which was given
yesterday. He did not recollect whether when he called upon
13arber anything was said about his residence. not
recollect anything being. said with respect to Miss Slack's
residence.
__ .

- Wm. Phillips wag then called and examined by Mr. ERLE,'
and said—l am a stock-broker. I have been- acquainted with
the prisoner Fletcher right years. I have also known Barber
for five- or six years. I remember seeing Mr.. Fletcher in the •
Rotunda of the _Bank a few days before the 7th of April. He
said he had got a good job for Me. He did licit tell me what
it was, but funderstood it was respecting a'transfer of stock.
On the 7th April I sacs the i;risener Barber at 'my office. A .
lady was with him, who was a stranger to me. Barber intro-
duced her to me aa Emma Slack. The prisoner Lydia Saunders is
the person he so introduced. Barber directed me to sell :1,500/.
Cen.sols which were standing in the name of Emma Slack.
Barber told ink that he expected Fletcher to call soon. I
then proceeded over the way with the' prisoner to the
Bank of England, and went into the office of the Ac-
countant:4:l.'ole*, which sis the office out-of- which un-
claimed dividends are taken. Applied for an order
for the dividend on 3,5001. Consols, and obtained' it.
The course of business in that office is for persons apply-
ing for dividends Id be identified by a stock-broker. I wrote.
the words "known to me" at the foot of the .order for the
payment of the dividends. When the order was obtained it
was presented by me to the chief cashier, arid from him I got
an order to go down to the drawing-office. The' order was
iiiven to Mr. -Barber,,and I left him and the prisoner Lydia
bounders in ;the drawing-office to take the money, and Went
..to forivard the transfer of the stock, having arranged with
Barber to meet again in the Rotunda. I sold the stock to
Mr. Clement Smith, a stock-broker, for the sum of 3,386/. 55.,
which sum was paid to me by Mr. Smith in notes and cash. L
think there were three one thousand pound notes amongst
them, but Ido not recollect the other. When coining out
of the drawing-office I saw Fletcher in the Rotunda. I
told him that there Was 1,1001. dividends being received.'
After I had transferred the stock I returned to the Rotunda,
and there I saw Fletcher, Barber, and Lydia Saunders, and I
gave the money which I had received for the-stock to Barber.
I had a conversation, but I cannot say with which of the
prisoners, about changing a I,oo.oknote for gold.. They then
left me, and I went to my own office.
Cross-examined by Yin -GokavEs—l have been at the
Mansion-house but once since Fletcher was under examina-
tion. I was there when Mr.. Barber was first examined, and
on that occasion Mr. Fletcher was examined as a witness.
I furnished instructions to Mr. Freshtield -respecting his cross-
examination. I did so while Mr. Fletcher was being cross-
examined by Mr. Clarkson. told Mr. Freshfield that Mr.
Fletcher had'told me that he could introduce me to a good
job:" I will now swear that Fletcher had-used those words
to me. I will swear the Word "introduced" was used to me
by Fletcher. I cannot distinctly recollect to-day what I said
in my examination in chief.
The witness; in- the course of 'his cross-examination, hesi-
tated a great deal in giving his answers. .
• Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he thought this was an ante-
diluvian mode of doing business.—(Laughter.)
Cross-examined by Mr. STONT—NOIWIIg occurred in-this
case which might not occur. in the ordinary course of busi-
ness. Nothing passed hetween Lydia Saunders and myself
when the money was received. lf I recollect rightly, the
prisoner Lydia Saunders wore a veil when the transfer was
made, but whether she wore it down or not i cannot say. I
think-she was dressed in the same way when she was exa-
mined at the Mansion-house. I recollect nothing being said
by the-:prisoners when the money was received at the Bank,
except What was said about changing the 1,000/. note. There
was nothing unusual in that. I dare say I have identified as
many as 300 persons at the Bank for the. purpose of receiving
dividends.
Cross-examined by Mr.- Wuxi:as—My memory is not very
'good. can recollect some things and not others. I will
not swear either one way or the other as to whether Mr.
Barber tookpOrt in the conversation respecting the change
for the 1,0001. note. I think he must have heard the con-
versation. There were very few persons in the Rotunda of
the Bank when the money was received. I was present at
about fonr or five examinations respecting this case, which
took place at the Mansion-house. I have had other trans-
actions with Mr. Barber besides the present one. On the
29th April, 1843, I sold out 1001. Reduced for Mary Anderson.
On the Ist June in the same year I sold 1,2101. Consols for a
person for whom Mr. Barber was attorney. Ido not recol-
lect any other transaction with Mr. Barber.
Re-eximined by Mr. Eimi—When I saw Lydia Saunders
at the Bank her veil was up, and I saw her features. I do'
not recollect a case in which a female took so much gold out
of the Bank at -one- time after selling-stock.
. James Ballard examined by Sir J. BAYLEY—I am a clerk
in the Three per Cent. Consols office in the Bank of England.
I produce the transfer-book in which the transfer of 3,500/.
stock is entered in the name of Emma Slack, on the 7th of
April, 1843. I was the attesting witness to the transfer.
Clement Smith was the purchaser of the stock.
Mr. Clement Smith was then called and examined by Sir
J. BAYLEY—I am a stock-jobber. I purchased on the 7th of
April, 1843, 3,500/. Consols from Mr. Philpotts. I paid
3,282/. for them. I paid for them in Bank notes—three notes
of 1,000/. eachland the rest in small notes. I received the
large notes from a gentleman of the name of Mortiiner. I
received four from him on the 7th of April. The other note
I paid into Prescott and CO.'s bank.
Cross-examined by Mr. GREAVES—I am quite positive as
to the number of the 1,000/. notes I had in my possession on
the 7th of April, but I do not recollect the numbers or par-
ticulars of them. _ _ _

By the Couicr—l frequently have 5,000 or 10,000 Bank-
notes pass through my hands m the course of a week. _
Charles Smith Mortimer said—l am a member of the Stock
Exchange. On the 7th April, 1843, I lent the last witness
3,000/. I paid him Bank notes to the amount of 4,0001.
They were four notes of 1,000/. each.
Cross-examined by Mr. GnEAvEs—l have a
great deal of
money passing through my hands. I recollect receiving

Edwin John Bruen was then examined. by Sir J. BAYLEY

the 1,000/. notes which were received by gr. Philpots. -

Henry Alcock Grattan was then called, and examined—
I am a clerk in the Southwark branch of the London and
Westminster Bank. I am acquainted with Fletcher. He
kept an account in the bank for upwards of bur years. The
writing which is on the note produced, Which is for 500/,

in the handwriting of the prisoner Fletcher. The same en-
dorSement is on the 1,000/. produced, and that is also in
Fletcher's handwriting. On the 10th of April, 1843, the sum

note. (This was the note endorsed " Emma Slack, Fran-
eis• street,-Tottenham-court-road.") •
Mr. Grattan was recalled, and several letters were pro-
duced. The witness said he believed the writing to be that
of the prisoner Fletcher.
The Court. here adjourned'for ten minutes.
The next witness called was
George Gorsuch, who said—l •was formerly in the employ-
ment of Mr. and Mrs. Dorev, in Oxford-street. I lived with
them three weeks in March and April, 1843. During that
time I saw the prisoner Lydia Saunders at the house. She-
arrived in Oxford-stieet, on the 7th of April, 1843, in a cab,
with Mrs. Dorey. She remained until the following Monday,
the 7th being on a Friday. On the Saturday morning I saw
Mrs. Dorey produce a Bank of England note for 1,000/. It
was shown tome as a curiosity, as I had never seen a note of
-that amount before. Shortly after that I saw Mrs. Saunders
in the shop. She was dressed, and I saw her take an omni-
bus to the City. She returned in about two hours, and brought
a canvas bag, which from the sound appeared to contain a large
quantity of sovereigns. When' she returned, Mrs. Saunders
looked out several articles to take away with her. While she
was' in Ox•ford-street, T had an opportunity of seeing Mrs.
Dorey write. The endorsement, " Emma Slack," on the
- note produced, is in her hand-writing. The dress produced
is the one which Mrs. Saunders took away with her when she
left on the Monday.
Cross-examined—As Mrs. Saunders walked through the
shop she seemed lame. She was introduced to me as Mrs.
Dorey's sister, from Bristol. I breakfasted and dined at the
same table with' her on the Sunday. I was not dismissed
from Mr. Dorey's service. I left on the 19th April, 1843.
Eliza Rosser was then called and sworn. ' She said—l live
at Bristol, and ant in the service of Mr. Taplin. I formerly
lived with the prisoner Saunders. He was a fishmonger.
Before I left Mr. Saunders' service, Mrs. Saunders bad been
in London about two months. She gave me warning to leave
in about a week after she returned. 'When Mr.• Saunders
returned home, she brought with her three silk dresses.
While Mrs. Saunders was in London, Mr. Saunders left
Bristol for a 'few days. He returned about a week before

Re-examined—When I searched the drawers,llr. l3ircham,
Barber's partner, was present during the-whole time.. There
,was . also a gentleman of the name of Price present.. The
papers I handed to Mr. Freshfield were those Which either
Mr. Giddy, Barber's 'attorney, or Mr. Barber hiniself.requested

Mr. WIL

was to show fluff -Messrs. Barber and 'Fletcher were acquainted

• The witness then said in 1840 Fletcher came to me, and
said his name was George Jones. •
Mr. GREAVES again objected to this examination. This
was' evidently an attempt made to prejudice the 'minds of
the jury, . . .
. Mr. Justice Wirwamel think this had betterbe reserved
till the end of the case.'

. _
Mr. James .Gudge examined, said I am clerk of journals lof
the House of Commons. The Right Hon. Charles Shaw Le-
fevre. is Speaker of the House of Commons. 1
Mr. Freshfield was then called and examined—l am the
the solicitor to the . Bank. On the 15th of November last
I called on the prisoner Barber. • I told him that I came
from theßank of England with reference to a sum of stok
Which had been transferred in the name of Anne Slack, undier
a will which appeared to' have been proved by Mr. Barber,
and which was irregular. He, said that he remembered the
id
transaction ; that Miss Slack came to him with the w .1,
which was 'quite regular; that the property was mention
in the will ; and that she stated that her aunt had died ab it
Six weeks before ; that lie' got the will proved, and got er
the money, which was all he knew of the business. .1 as d
him who the lady was, and lie said she resided in some street
out of Holborn; she was a most respectable person, and fie
had no doubt that the transaction was all right. • I ask pd
him if she was,introduced, and by whom. He said he had
no doubt that she :was, but he could not recollect by whorn ;
but he would endeavour to recal the facts; as to him it wa.e a
mere 'natter. of business, and he knew nothing more of it.
I told him that was quite inconsistent with the fact 'of his
having been in communication with Captain Foskett :or
1 some months before the alleged death of Miss Anne Sla k,
respecting- this very property. He said he certainly had d
some: communication 'with Captain Foskett, but not, e
thought, respecting this property, but he • could not rec l-
ied. I told him that his letters were distinctly respecti g
the property of Miss Anne Slack. After some hesitati n,
he said it might be so, he could not deny it, but that it as
a mere matter of business, and he did not feel authorised in
distlosing the affairs of his client. I told him that I id
I not wish him to tell me more than he chose—that I sho Id
not at all press him ; but 'it wad necessary that I. sho hl
apprise him that a fraud and forgery had been committ d,
and that he was gravely implicated in the transacti n,
having been inquiring and negotiating respecting this v ry
property six months before the alleged death of Miss ne
Slack, and b.efore_ the right of his clients accrued; d
I desired to know' under what circumstances he ad
so negotiated. He said he supposed he could • t 11,
and he would endeavour to recollect. He said A iss•
Slack was a most respectable woman, and ' that he
had no doubt that it was all right. I told him .that was be-
side the question, which was, how he came to -be interfering
six mouths before he saw her? He said that he did not knlow
that lie could tell, or ought to tell, but he would refresh bis
memory ; and he wished me to look at his books, that I
'might see that it was a mere matter of business with him.
He then produced a probate, and his ledger and account-
book, which he opened. There was an entry in his ledget of
901: proctor's bill, and 151. for his own. He said that was: all
he got out of the transaction ; that his bill amounted as east
to 131. odd, and Miss Slack made it 15/. The book shoied
the produce of the stock to be 4,5001., and the entry *as
signed " Emma Slack." I then told him that that was hot
the question, and he again said that he would endeavout to
refresh his memory, and if I would call on a future occasion
he would let me know the result. I told him that his cha-
racter was implicated, and that I desired to give him: an
opportunity to explain if he pleased, but I did not mean tben,
i o press him, but that I should 'report the case to the Trea-
sury, who would no doubt prosecute it; and that if lie chose
to send me any,explanation, I would report that also, but
that I could not delay. From that time to the time of ihis
beim', apprehended, he never made any communication to be.
The witness read this statement from notes which he made
at the time.

Mr. WHADIs—Now, Mr. Freshfield, put the paper by,
and then give the statement to the jury without looking at
the notes.

Mr. Juatice WlLLlAms—That is a matter entirely With
himself. He may do it if he chooses.
Mr. ERLE—If bit. Freshfield wishes to look at the paper
again, I submit that he has a right to do so if he pleases.
Mr. Freshfield—l could give the account without the paper,
but of course there would be variances in words. -
• Mr.. WiLkyss —Of course, and those variances are what I
want to hear.

• •
Mr. Freslitield—Well, then, I decline to do it.
Mr. \VlLA'Ns—Very well ; that will do as well for me.
Cross-examination continued—Mr. Barber expressed a
good deal of angry feeling. He said, " I hardly understand.
in What character you put these' questions to me." I wil-
fully omitted this when I read my statement. Mr. Barber
did not express indignation more than once. I will swear
that he did not say he must decline furnishing me with the
name of his informant for the present: He did not say " I
think at the present time I ought not to mention his name."
I have never been examined before. Mr. Barber .did not
offer to show me his diary. I did not instruct the Messrs.
Forrester to watch Mr. Barber's office, nor am I aware that
such instructions were given. It was about three weeks
after I called on Mr. Barber that he was taken into custody.
I never'called on Mr. Birber afterwards, Although he had
said that if I called in a few days he would give me an ex--
planation.

Re-examined—l told him that I should not call again,
but if he wished to send any explanation I would report it.
I have no part in getting up this case beyond reportingit to the
Treasury. This prosecution is instituted by the Lords of the
Treasury.
Samuel Robert. Goodman examined—l am the chief clerk
at the Man'sion-house. I was there when the prisoner Bar-
ber was first brought up, and when the forged will of Emma
Slack was,produced. After examination Mr. Barber applied
to be discharged on bail. Mr. Clarkson said that further
eVidence would be brought forward, and therefore he opposed
the application of Barber, and the Lord Mayor declined ad-
mitting the prisoner to bail. Mr. Clarkson inquired, if
Fletcher was present, and no one answered. Soon after this
Mr. Barber,was seen, talking to a person, who turned out to
be Fletcher.

Cross-examined—Mr. Barber cross-examined Fletcher and
Miss Slack also. ' I have a copy of that cross-examination.
Re-examined—When Barber ealled Fletcher as a witness,
it was after the Lord Mayor had refused to bail him. -The
proceedings were kept waiting, I should think, a quarter of
an hour, while Barber was in conversation with Fletcher,
before Fletcher was examined as a witness. •

The forged will was here put in and read, as also *as the
affidavit for obtaining probate. The letters which passed be-
tween Barber, and : Fletcher, and Captain Yoskett, were
then read.
. .

Mr. Edward Wolfe was then called and examined, and
said—l am the articled clerk to Mr. Flower, who is the at-
torney for Mrs. Dorey. The statement produced was .made
voluntarily by MT. Dorey.
Mr. WILKINS gnu' he could not object to this being pro-
duced, but he had to complain of his Learned Friend, not
mentioning it in his opening.
Mr. ERLE said he would not press the statement, and it
was consequently not read.
Mr. Wolfe wished to state that, when he was examined
before, he was understood to say that he was the attorney
for Mrs.'Dorey. This was not the case, he was articled cleric
to Mr. Flower, who was the attorney for Mrs. Dorey.
This was the case for the prosecution.
The' Court then adjourned.

THE CURRENCY,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.

1.- Sir,—ln your journal of the sth' instant, I par-
tially explained the fatal delusions under which the
terrible Bill of 1819 was made the law of the land.
Well might M. Say exclaim, " Voila l'Angletcrre!
elle-se coupe la gorge r There is no public man alive
now, I believe, who does not readily acknowledge that
in 1819, the unanimous votes of both Houses were
" a gigantic error ;" but, woodeiful to say, the very
same men now commit a still greater error by assert-,
ing that "it is too late to retreat !" I believe that
this last error. is more terrible than the former. If it
is not an error, have only to - observe, that_in my
humble judgment, the doom of our country is sealed.
In the words of Napoleon, we might well exclaim,
" It is'then written above, that we shall now commit
nothing hut errors." • •
2. It is very remarkable to .contrast the extraor-
dinary obliquity of intellect • which the Jews and.
lawyers have exhibited at one period, with the wonder-
ful coolness and assurance which they, have exhibited
at another. At one_ period they 'could see no
depreciation whatever; in the paper • money of
the late war : in almost the - next moment
everything appeared depreciation_ in . their eyes.
Whilst they were. lending :one thousand , and forty-
seven millions sterling to the Government,
.during
the late war, they stoutly affirmed that theit.money
was not depreciated,' and "that it was of equal• value
to the money which existed before the late war; and
at one period, when the depreciation* was greatest,
they literally induced the House of
.Commons to pasS
a resolution solemnly declaring " that a one-pound
note and a shilling were equal in value to a guinea,".
meaning, of course, the guinea as it represented the
values of society before the war. But the very mo-
ment the lending system came` to an end, and the re-
payment of their one thousand and forty-seven mil-
lions sterling was to commence, they gravely turned
round upon their victims, and audaciously called the
paper money " worthless 'rags !" And, wonderful to
say, with this very expression, " worthless rags," in
their months, they refused to make an abatement of
one farthing in the pound upon their fraudulent and
swindling claims upon the nation, and very coolly
proceeded, without the slightest inquiry, to enforce
the repayment of their murderous bonds in full, and
•
in standard gold! - -
3. The late Lord Liverpool had afterwards the
honesty to tell the House of Lords, that " they had
doubled and trebled their rents of land in paper
money, and that they must not now expect to keep up
such rents in standard gold." This was tantamount
to a confession on his part, that in selecting a standard
of value, the " most convenient and beneficial to the
nation," he ought to have coined ten shillings of our
ancient coins, or even six shillings and eightpence of
such coins, into a pound sterling, instead of adopting
the standard of Queen Elizabeth, strung up ten per
cent in value beyond that mortal level.
4. But in the midst of this frank confession, Lord
'Liverpool never condescended to tell the House of
.Lords how they were to deal with their mortgages
• and family settlements. During thirty years the
whole of these monetary changes upon land must ne-
cessarily. have been raised in the same degree as the
monetary rents of land, How, then, was the land-
lord to reduce his rent to the ancient metallic level,
whilst the law compelled him to discharge his mort-
gages, and family settlements, and debts and taxes
of many kinds, at the paper level ? As I expressed,
it at the time, the landlord; " under a penalty of ruin
to himself, would be compelled to execute ruin upon
his tenants, tenants would be compelled to execute
ruin 'upon the labourers, and the unhappy labourers
would be ground down into the workhouse, or the
grave."
5. This.has been the unhappy fate of tens of thou-
sands of farmers, and of hundreds of thousands of
honest labourers. That it has not been the fate of
all, is solely to be ascribed to the monetary relaxations
alluded to in my last letter, which are now drawing
to an end.

6. But I have spoken of the extraordinary obliquity
of intellect among the Jews and lawyers. No doubt
it is very strange to hear Hon. Gentlemen crying out,
" No depreciation exists;" "The depreciation is only
three per cent. and then that the paper money is
mere worthless rags," almost in the very same
breath. But still it is our duty to place the best in-
terpretation upon such conduct; and I am fully wil-
ling to attribute it to ignorance, and to the hallucina-
tion which imagined interest and passion are calculated
to throw over the human judgment.
7. When I was recommending to the House of
Commons the necessity of either a reduction or a
total abolition of the standard of value, one of these
gentlemen, in all other respects a very able and
estimable man, had the assurance to cry out
" Fraud !" upon which I remarked, to the House,
that I should be very much disposed to treat the
Hon. Member after the manner of Shakspeare, and
that I would say to him, " Here, Jew, thou shalt
have thy-gold, bought with the blood and tears of the
people. It shall 'be of full weight and full fineness;
but it shall be melted gold, and poured down thy
throat."
8. Some historians report that. the Queen of the
Scythians struck off the head of Cyrus, and threw
it into a vessel filled with human blood, exclaiming,
" Now glut thyself with that for which thou didst
ever thirst." If examples like these are necessary, it
is probable that the vessels might be filled with
human blood with much less cruelty to mankind than
with molten gold.
9. The Jews and lawyers could see no injustice,
and no " fraud" in taking advantage of a "Three
.per Cent." quibble to double • every tax, and • rent,
and debt, and moneyed obligation in the king-
dom. They could see no crime in halving the em-
ployment, and in halving the daily wages of hun-
dreds of thousands of honest workmen at the same
time, and thus quadrupling the burdens of industry ;
they could see no crime in secretly and fraudulently
transferring the burden of the taxes contracted for
the defence of property upon 'the shoulders of po-
verty, ..but the very moment the friends of justice,
humanity, and common sense and honesty cry out
against these murderous opressions, and insist upon
their tieing rectified, or at least arrested, in their
mortal career, they are to be met, it seems, by the
Times paper with a counter cry of " tyrannous ras-
cality !' And these really " tyrannous" frauds upon
the people are, it seems, to be represented as things
.done, • and when once done never to be recalled or
overhauled. Indeed! Why the ancient poor-law
was a thing done, a literal contract with the poor,
when they were induced about two-and-a-half cen-
turies ago, to give- up their ample share in the na-
tional property in exchange for it. And yet this
great privilege of the poor could be overhauled and
undone without difficulty when the plunder of the
poor became necessary to protect the property of the
rich from the necessary effect of their own Bill of
1819! So, also, the labourers of England have been
compelled, during all their lives, to pay taxes and
expenses of many kinds for the protection and sup-
port of property and of law. These payments of the
labourers must either have constituted a species of
savings banks for their old age, and have given them
an additional right to a comfortable and honest main-
tenance from their country- whenever their labour
should fail them ; or they must have been the grossest
frauds, and the cruelest oppressions upon the poor.
We can overhaul and repeal, it seems, just and equi-
table laws for the protection of the poor, laid deep in
the foundations of nature, sanctioned by the Holy
Scriptures, protected by contracts of 2SO years' dura-
tion, and confirmed by the payment of taxes during
a life of industry, economy, anda s care;

happy, indeed, must be the fate of a nation in whichirn
doctrines like these can prevail—doctrines which make
war upon the moral economy of nature, and are cal-
culated to produce a state of society in which every-
thing is overturned.
" In which Life dies, Death lives, and Nature breeds,
Prodigious, all abominable things,"
10. I was once conversing with a nobleman of the
highest rank, and distinguished for his virtues, and
his well-deserved influence in the nation. He 'said to
me, " I do acknowledge that we committed a gigantic
error in 1819, but it is now too late to retreat;" upon
which remarked, "My Lord, I told you in 1819
that you were committing a gigantic. error—did I
not ?" " Yes," said be, " I must honestly acknow-
ledge. that you did • but I must repeat my opinion,
that it is now too late to retreat." t 6 Then, ' said I,
"my Lord, mark ! 1 that told you, in 1819, that you
were committing a gigantic error, which error you
now 'acknowledge, and which error was then remedi-
able, I tell you, that in saying that it is- now too late
to retreat, you commit another error, which error is
fatal." " Well," said he, I can't help it to the

11. But the restoration of the standard of valpe,
under ,tbe. Bill of 1819, is not a thing done. As. I.
hare stated before, the tainperings and Monetary ie•
laxations of many kinds have suspended its mortal
pressure, and are. at this very inoment.suspending it.
Only about one-fifth part of it has beeniy-a.brought
to bear upon the nation. It is true, that out of the
grinding misery of the last seven years, we' haYe now
elaborated and collected sixteen minions staling of
bullion, and we are now again just commencing an •
other period of short and delusive prosperity, like that
of 1824 and that of 1835. Under our present system,

12. It is difficult to estimate the political results of
this next period of depression and distress to which
I allude. Unless arrested by timely legislative in- ,
terference, it is certain to arrive within the next two
years. In my petition to the House of Commons,
presented in August, 1842, I represented that the
principal benefit which I anticipated to the nation
froni the great changes (since effected) in the corn-
and provision laws, was that " of bringing:the owners
of land into a community of suffering and of feeling
with the unhappy owners of labour, and thereby in-
daCing them to use their powerful political influence
in relieving the common sufferings, and arresting the
common dangers, by repealing the fatal Bill of 1819,
from which they all- proceed.' . If. experience should
prove that the tariff of 1842 has produced this great
effect upon the mind of the agricultural interest, I can
only express my opinion, that Sir Robert Peel will
be entitled to the eternal gratitude of his' eonntry
ft is very possible, that without some additional influ-
ence Of this nature, brought forward to his assistance,
he may not have the power to break through the masses
of ignorance, prejudice, and interest which surround
'him.. The unhappy structure of humanity.is such,
that so long as men are gorged with riches them-
selves, it is scarcely possible for them to believe in the
existence of undeserved poverty in others. As I have
often .expressed it, it is not until ruin knocks at their
own door' that the fountains of their hearts are
opened, and that, " taught by their own miseries, they
learn to feel for the miseries of others."

13. No ! The Bill of 1819 is not yet a thing done.
It is, at this moment, under the mask of returning
prosperit just commencing " the beginning of the
end." When the payment of monetary rent shall
have ceased; when the taxes which support the na-
tional debt shall have been abolished ; and when social
order shall have been reduced to the wildest anarchy
in England, then the Bill of. 1819 will be " a thing
done," but not till then.-4 am, respectfully, Sir, your
obedient humble servant,

ALMACK S.—There was a meeting of the lady
patroneSses oil Monday morning at Willis's, when it was
arranged that there not being any appointments for Thursday
beyond the opera, that the opening ball should be appointed
for that night, instead of the 24th inst., as originally contem -
bplated. It being the day on which the Queen holds her second
raving-room, and there not being any full-dress assembly
as usual announced by our leaders of fashion, the applica-
tions for the first subscription are likely to be exceedingly
iitiMerous. Tolbecque will be unavoidably detained in Paris
until the ensuing week, so Collinet will, en. attenpliint, direct
the orchestra:

Mr. Charles Dickens and various other literary
gentlemen will be at the festival of the Governesses' 'Benevo-
lent Institution on Saturday next. As several noblemen and
gentlemen of distinction are pledged to support the Royal
Chairman on this occasion, it is expected that this entertain-
ment will be of peculiar interest.

During Divine service on Sunday, a house in Aber-
deen was entered by false keys, and a large quantity of silver
plate; to the value of SW., was carried off. A house in
Dundee was broken into on Sunday, and a quantity of silver
plate, of the value of 50/., was stolen. Tuesday information
was received at the police-office here, that a
inquantity of
clothes had.been stolen from a gentleman's house Glasgow,
and a description of the thief was also given: Yesterday,
11PLevie, that active criminal officer, succeeded in appre-
bending the thief in a house in the High street. A pawn-
ticket for the stolen goods, pledged in Falkirk, was found in
the man's possession.:—Edinburqh Courant.
MILITARY AFFRAY AT WINCIIESTER.-A, serious
affray, which caused great alarm amongst the inhabitants,
took place at Winchester on Sunday evening last, about
eight o'clock, between the privates of the let battalion of
Grenadier Guards (recently from Windsor) and the '44th
Regiment of Foot. A quarrel having occurred at a public-
house between two men belonging to each regiment, the
affair was taken up•by their respective comrades, to the
number of between 300 and 400 on either side, and, from
the severe blows which were exchanged, fatal consequences
were expected to ensue. Piquets from each regiment,
amounting to 300 men, with fixed bayonets, under the com-
mand of captains and subalterns, were immediately ordered
out; but it was upwards of two hours before the whOle of the
men could be captured and secured within their respective
barracks.
.We understand that several who were seriously-
injured are now confined to the hospital. The 4-4th Regi-
ment is 900 strong, and the Ist battalion of the Grenadier
Guards about 700. It is expected that one of the regiments
will be ordered into another district.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN ST. JAMES'S PARIC.—OR
Sunday afternoOn, between three and four o'clock, a.married
female, named Mary Shoulder, of 22, Whitcornb,sti eet.
Leicester-square, threw herself into the ornamental water in
the enclosure of St. James's Park, near the residence of the
keeper. The latter, on being made acquainted with the
circumstance, instantly repaired to the spot, and with a rake
succeeded in dragging her ashore as she was sinking a se-
cond time 'in deep water. She was conveyed to West-
minster Hospital, and was on Monday enabled to leave the
institution. Distress is the cause assigned.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE OF
INMATES.—Yesterday morning, between the hours of two and
three, a destructive fire broke out in the premises occupied
by the undermentioned persons :—Mr. Barnes, Mrs. Butt.
and Mr. Stoddart, situate at No. 5, Upper Rosamond-street.
Clerkenwell. Police-constable G 149, in passing along his
beat, perceived smoke issuing out of the kitchen on the base-
ment floor. The officer immediately sprang his rattle, and
raised the necessary alarm ; but such a strong hold had the
flames obtained, that they travelled with surprising rapidity,
quickly enveloping the whole of the lower floor of the
building. At that time there were from twelve to fourteen
persons asleep in the premises. After some trouble, the con-
stable succeeded in arousing the whole of the inmates, but by
the time he had accomplished that object the names
had reached the staircase, and were fast ascending to
the different apartments. At first the destruction of the
whole of the inmntes appeared inevitable ; but Ser-
geant Clarke, with a number of private constables, rushed

SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A LADY.—On Tuesday
Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Rising Sun, Charles-
street, Grosvenor-square, ou the body of Miss Elizabeth Le-
sage, aged 69, a lady of property, stated to amount
to 30,000 E
Mr. Wm. Flower, of 3, Belgrave t t Pimlico, -s ree , leo said, that at
half-past two p.m., on Saturday last, washe' walking la Ken-
sington-gardens, on the south bank of the Serpentine,and
observed
deceasd pass him in a hurried Manner, and .appa.-
rently disturbed in her mind. The moment she had passed
him he heard her say, "I'll never forgive him." She then
stopped, looked at him, and he passed her. Afterwards she
turned round, and passed him again, still uttering the same
sentence as before. She then went towards the Seipentine-
bridge, and he lost sight of her. Master I'. W. Scott, of 47,
Lincoln's Inn-fields, deposed to finding a parasol,' since proved
to have been deceased's, standing against the bottom of the
bridge near the water side, on the north. He afterwards saw
the body of deceased floating on the water in the centre
of the first arch on the north side. He gave information
'at the ree,eivin;,'-house 'of the' Royal Humane Society. Wm.
Wodhop, chief boatman of the Society, proved getting the
body out of the water at the spot indicated by the last wit-
ness. Mr. Wooley, surgeon to the Society, tried to restore
life, but without succeeding. Witness was.Of opinion that
deceased had not accidentally fallen into the water.- Mr.
Samuel Clements, of No. 2, Conduit-street, Bayswater, said
deceased was his sister-in-law, and resided in Warren-street.
Camden-town. Deceased had slept at his house on Friday
night, and after breakfast went out it was thought fur awalk.
The family had observed during the last foni or five months
a great ied•bvdepression
