you are mistaken : you will be thrown yourself. The
truth is, that the ounce of gold did, at a certain period of
the late war, represent 5/. in silver, and this without any
alteration of the relative value of the two metals. The
silver coin was diminished to keep proportion with the
gold by the issue of bank tokens ; so that, when an
ounce of gold was worth 51. the silver which was pre-
viously coined into 3/. 17s. 100 was coinei into 5/. The
Spanish dollar, fcr instance, which was previously reck-
oned to be worth 4s. 2d., was stamped anew by the Bank
and made to pass for ss. You hare evidently misunder-
stood the question at issue, as well as misapprehended
the facts of the case. It does not concern the relation
of the two principal metals to each other in respect to
quantity, but their joint and equal relation in that re-
spect to the denominations of our coins. If gold is re-
duced, silver is equally reduced, and so is also copper."
But we hope to find room to-morrow for a careful
notice of the second and much improved edition of a
pamphlet which will certainly rank hereafter as a text-
book with all those who desired to understand the
operation of Sir Rounitz PEEL'S most ill-advised
measurei for the permanent disorganization and ulti-
mate ruin of our monetary system.

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The selection of
pieces is excellent, and they cannot fail to be ad-
mirably performed when such a galaxy of talent as
the following is to shine forth on the occasion :
Signors Lablache, F. Lablache, Fornasari, and Herr
Staudigl ; to be aided by Mesdames Grisi, Persiani,
Doras Gras, Mrs. Alfred Shaw, and Miss Rainforth,
besides many other names celebrated in the musical
world. At the end of the first part Mr. Benedict, Dr.
Mendelssohn, and Madame Dulcken, will perform a
piece arranged for three performers on two pianos,
entitled " Nocturne and Valse Brillante." It is not
too much to say that such an assemblage of splendid
singers and performers has rarely ever appeared to-
gether before the public.

MR. CAPPS LECTURES ON THE CURRENCY.—
Yesterday, in conformity with a notice duly adver-
tised in the papers, Mr. Capps, delivered at the British
Coffee House, a lecture on Sir Robert Peel's Cur-
rency Plans ; showing their inevitable prejudicial
tendency and effects. Several Members of Parlia-
ment were present, and a numerous auditory of other
gentlemen—all of whom listened to Mr. Capps with
lively satisfaction. At the close of his very able lec-
ture—opportunity being given for objection and in-
quiry—the answers and explanations of the lecturer
were so clear and lucid, that not one word of dissatis-
faction with either was expressed. On the contrary,
every difficulty or doubt propounded was instantly
solved. The Hon. Member for Tynemouth having
then risen to move a vote of thanks to Mr. Capps,
(which was unanimously carried), urged that gen-
tleman to repeat his lecture on Thursday next ; and
was seconded in this request by George Stephen,
Esq. The lecturer having consented to repeat
the lecture, accordingly, on Thursday next, several
gentlemen expressed their gratification at the oppor-
tunity which would be thus afforded them, of bring-
ing down their Parliamentary and other influential
friends, to hear his admirable exposition, and simple
treatment of this important subject.

Madrid journals to the 4th announce that the Go-
vernment had resolved to annul the tobacco contract,
and that a decree to that effect had been sent off to
Barcelona for the QUREN'S signature. A report was
prevalent, that CARRASCO and GONZALES BRAVO
would return to the Cabinet, and replace Dior and
PIDAL. This is not very probable, but indeed it is a
matter of perfect indifference. Spanish statesmen are
now byewords among the nations of Europe. The
Herald() gives an account of another outrage com-
mitted by the Moors on Spanish subjects. It is thus
described in a letter from Santiago, May 31 :—" A
Spanish merchant-vessel was seen a day or two since
off Muros, driving at the mercy of the wind and
waves. On the officer of the port boarding her to
ascertain her condition, he found the whole of the

crew lying on the deck murdered. It was evident
from their appearance that they had made a desperate
resistance. No papers were found on board, and she
had evidently been pillaged by some pirate."
The Three per Cents. were done at 27f for cash,
and at 273; and the Fire per Cents. at 20 for the 6th
of July.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY

(Sittings in Banco.)
FRANKLIN V. NEATE.
This was an action tried on Monday last in the Exchequer
Chamber, on which occasion a Verdict had been returned for
the plaintiff on the first issue, with 191. is. 6d. damages;
and in favour of the defendant on the second issue, with
liberty to plaintiff to mention it to the Court above. A per-
son of the name of Gilbert, belonging to the commercial
marine, in the month of October, 1840, pledged a chrono-
meter with the defendant Neate, a pawnbroker, residing in
Duke-street, Manchester- square, for the sum of fifteen
pounds. The chronometer remained there some months, when
the owner of it (Gilbert) sold the ticket to the plaintiff(Frank-
lin) for the suns of five pounds, and went off to sea. Plaintiff
went to tiefendant's shop, before the expiration of twelve
months from the time of pawning the chronometer, and ten-
dering principal and interest claimed it should be delivered up
to him. This was refused, as were several subsequent applica-
tions for the property, and ultimately the present action was
brought with the result above stated. Mr. liumfrey now
moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict on the second
issue should not be set aside and entered as for the plaintiff.
The Court granted the application.

Several of the Paris papers have long articles on
the grand fete given by the KING on Saturday even-
ing at Versailles, in honour of French industry. The
Journal des Debuts devote four columns to the sub-
ject, and pays a high compliment to the Sovereign
for collecting together the principal nobility, the
Members of the two Chambers, the Ministers of the
Crown, and the industrious classes, not out of vain show
and pomp, like some of the grand displays of Louis
XV. and his successors, but chiefly to encourage
arts and manufactures, and to show that the CITIZEN
KING has not forgotten the interests of those with
whom he often mixed when a subject of the Crown.
The Presse a Court paper, thus adverts to some circum-
stances attending this fete:—" The spectacle finished
so late that we scarcely had time enough to mention
the most characteristic feature of the fete, which, had
it taken place a century ago, would have been quite an
event in the whole world ! Just fancy an artisan au-
daciously challenging Lours XV. to admit him to a
fete at Versailles, not in a jacket, not in the
plain costume of his craft, but actually in
rags ! This audacious challenge was yesterday
accepted, without any hesitation. The KING was
not stopped by the spirit of opposition and democra-
tical vanity betrayed by tattered clothes such as the
labourious workman wears no longer now-a days—
no, the KING saw, and would see, but the merit of
the ingenious inventor, recorded by the medal he had
obtained, and that a mechanic, who would not have
been suffered to enter, even had he paid for any
place of popular amusement, where decent garments
are required, was without any difficulty permitted to
move about the sumptuous drawing-rooms, in the
magnificent galleries of Versailles palace, and to sit
in the theatre, still resplendent with the recollections
of Lotus XIV. The miller of Sans Souci is out-
done by the mechanic of Versailles. That the respect
for labour should be carried to the extreme limit we
saw it extend yesterday is characteristic of our times,
and truly deserving of being recorded. We doubt
that the Radicals in power would prove of such easy
access and etiquette."
Some of the Opposition journals take a less favour-
able view of the entertainment, but some men cannot
be pleased with any act, however praiseworthy, unless
it be performed by one of their party. The fol-
lowing are the only other extracts from the papers of
any interest :
The committee on the Paris and Rennes Railroad met
on Saturday to hear M. de Salvandy's report read. The
committee has declared itself almost unanimously in favour
of the Bill in its general hearing, and proposes to allow the
necessary funds for the embankments between Versailles and
Chartres. It recommends the adoption of the line from Ver-
sailles to Rennes, but reserves the question whether it ought
to pass between Chartres and Laval by Alenoun or Mans.
As to the question of joining this line to the two Paris and
Versailles Railroads, the committee reserves its solution on
this point. It is, however, of opinion that it would be equi-
table to join the Chartres line to them.
" The now Governor-General of India, Sir Henry Hardinge,
accompanied by the Right Hon. Baronet's son and his aide-
de-camp, landed at Dieppe at an early hour on Sunday morn-
ing, and left, at little more than an hour's delay, en route for
Marseilles, taking Paris in their way.
" A Royal ordonnance, of September 23, 1843, had autho-
rised the transit of cattle on the Belgian railroad with an
exemption from all duty. Some cattle were, in consequence
sent from Rolland to France through Belgium, but com-
plaints having been made by the Belgian breeders, this
facility has been withdrawn by an ordonnance, dated June 7.
"The Cologne Gazette assures us that the Papal Govern-
ment has addressed a note to the Cabinets of London, Vienna,
and Paris, on the subject of the late disturbances in its terri-
tories. The note declares that there has been no real cause
for political discontent, and that the dissatisfaction is chiefly
to be ascribed to the machinations of anarchists in France arid
England.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GUR.NEY).

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—A well
dressed young man, named George Reginald Whitaker, sur-
rendered to take his trial, charged with feloniously forging
and uttering a cheque for 1701., with intent to defraud Messrs.
Sir W. Call, Martin, and Co., the bankers.
Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson
defended the prisoner.
From the evidence it appeared that a young man named
Thomas Brightman, being out of employment, advertised in
one of the newspapers for a situation as porter, and in an-
swer to his advertisement he received a letter, appointing an
interview at the Peacock public-house, Islington. He
went to the place mentioned in the letter, at the time appointed,
and he there saw a young man, who wore a pair of dark
blue spectacles and a large cloak. The young man said he
wanted the witness as a light porter, and he would give him
IL per week wages at first, with an understanding that they
should be increased after the witness had been in the situa-
tion a short time. Arrangements were then entered into for
inquiries being made respecting witness's character; and,
subsequently, another interview took place between the
parties, and on that occasion the young man, whom the wit-
ness believed to be the prisoner, gave the witness a
cheque, which was signed with the name of Princeps.
The cheque was for 1701., and was drawn upon Call
and Co. The witness was directed to bring seventy
sovereigns and ten ten-pound notes, and the prisoner
said he would wait for it at the King's Arms, Leadenhall-
street. When witness presented the cheque, it was discovered
to be a forgery, and he was given into custody, but was libe-
rated upoa;his explaining under what circumstances he be-
came possessed of the cheque, and, meeting the prisoner
shortly afterwards, in the street, he gave him into custody.
The defendant expressed the greatest surprise when he was
given into custody.
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the defence, and
stated that the defendant was a highly respectable young
man, having been, since 1833, in the service as an officer of
the East India Company. The defence to the present charge
was that the young man at the bar was not the person who
had had the interviews with the witness Brightman. The
man was evidently mistaken, as he (Mr. Clarkson) would be
able distinctly to show by evidence.
Several witnesses were then called to speak to the cha-
racter of Mr. Whitaker, one of whom was Mr. Maurice
Power, son of the late eminent comedian.

....
Mr. Whitaker's landlady, was called, and she dis-
tinctly proved that on the day in question he did not go out
until after twelve o'clock in the day. Two other witnesses
were also called, who distinctly proved this alibi, and
The Learned JUDGE stopped the CaSQ, and directed the
jury to return a verdict of acquittal, which they accordingly
did.

Mr. Baron GURNEY' then addressed Mr. Whitaker, and
said, "You leave this Court, Mr. Whitaker, without the
slightest spot on your character."
Ilfr. Whitaker then left the Court with his friends.

thoawivnan, ngsnaialiit I:ltethidtrathtoinse he had been married to the prisoner for
thirteen years, but had in consequence of his ill-treatment,
arising from jealousy, separated from him about three weeks
ago. He professed penitence, and she had agreed to return
to his house again, and he was to have come to her lodgings
at nine o'clock last evening, for the purpose of removing her
boxes. She waited, but he did not arrive till twelve, and
then he swore that she had been out that evening, with some
men, and caught up the poker and aimed a blow at
her head. She fortunately got hold of it and
saved herself from the blow. He then threw her
on the bed and struck her several times over
the head with his fist. He also caught her by the throat,
but her screams of murder caused some persons to enter the
room, and she escaped into a neighbour's house. On the
previous Friday the prisoner had called at the place where
she worked, and presented a pistol at her person. She did
not know whether it was loaded or not. The complainant's
statement was corroborated by other witnesses.
Mr. ItawmitsoN—What do you mean by this conduct to
your wife, Sir? Prisoner—l am told that she is an infamous
woman, and she has been intoxicated several times.
Mr. Itawix.rsoN—That's no reason you should murder her.
You are fined 20s. for the assault upon her, and you must
find two housekeepers to become bail, in 101. each, that you
will keep the peace for the remainder of the year.
After the charges in the sheet had been disposed of, a poor
deranged creature, was brought in. He had been observed
by a young lad immersed to the chin in a stagnant ditch, at
the back of Primrose-hill. With the assistance of several
persons the poor creature was got out, and given into charge
of the police. When introduced to the presence of the Ma-
gistrate, he exhibited a very great degree of violence, by
throwing himself upon the floor, tearing the lining from his
hat, and thrusting it into his mouth. lie attempted several
times to bite his hands and arm, and it required the most
strenuous efforts of two strong men to prevent his injuring
himself. The Magistrate directed that he should be taken
in a cab to the workhouse of St. George, Hampstead, the
parish in which he was first discovered.

" The Journal of the Two Sicilies announces that several
steamers left Naples on the 21st ult. with troops destined to
relieve the garrisons of Sicily. The railroad between Torre-
Annunciata to Nocera by Poinpi, Scafati, Angri, and Pagani,
has just been opened to the public. The King was present
at the inauguration.
" A letter from St. Petersburgh, May 28, in the Journal de
Frankfort, says The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count
Nesselrode, has obtained leave of absence for some months to
travel, and Count. WoronzoNr. Daschkow, Privy Councillor,
has been appointed to replace him. Count Lieven and his
lady arrived here by the last Lubeck steamer. Count
Canerin, Minister of Finance, is to quit us on Juno I, for
Berlin, to consult physicians relative to the use of German
baths of mineral water. His wife and sons will accompany
him. Lord Stuart de Rothesay, the Minister of Great Britain,
whose health is still very precarious, is to leave us in a few

Edward Langman was charged with stealing five bottles
of wine, the property of Mr. Yates, landlord of a public-house
in Tooley-street.
It appeared that the defendant was in great distress a few
weeks since, and was taken into the complainant's service
from motives of charity, and was employed in attending the
customers in the skittle-ground. On the preceding day he
contrived to take the key of the cellar out of the bar, and
going down there took five bottles of wine, and divided it
amongst the persons in the skittle-ground, and then threw
the empty bottles down the water-closet. Evidence of similar
acts having been given the prisoner was remanded.

We regret to find that the affairs of the Romford
Bank are likely to prove much worse than was anti-
cipated. A docket has been struck, and bankruptcy
is inevitable. Many cases of very great hardship
have caused a feeling anything but favourable to the
partners in the bank ; and the keeping open the lastßom-
, ford market-day, to close the following morning, has
been very freely commented upon. In one small parish
(Grays), containing about 1,200 acres, the loss by
notes held, and deposit accounts, is not less than
5,0001. One auctioneer, in another place, loses
4,0001., another depositor 2,0001., besides a very ge-
neral distribution of the notes, which almost every
