C. L. EASTLAKE, Secretary.

Mr. Twining's, his banker, with a draft, which he filled
up with the name of Egar, according to the prisoner's
dictation.
The following was the evidence previously given :
- An inspector of notes of the Bunk of England pro-
duced the stolen note, which was for 1001., No. 11,320,
dated 24th of February, 1842, Manchester. It was, he
believed, stolen. on the 19th of December. 1842.
Daniel Forrester stated that on the 23d of April -he
went to Monte, in Ireland, and apprehended the pri-
soner, who walked-into the hotel where he was stopping.
A gentleman, who was with witness, recognised the pri-
soner as the person charged. - Witness told the prisoner
with what offence he was chargod, and that he need not
answer any questions if he pleased, but it was his (wit-
ness's) duty to ask him some. 'Witnm sq then read the
warrant to him, and said ho was charged with having
changed the 1001. note with Mr. Howe];. of Dolly's
Chop-house. The prisoner said he did change it there,
but gave no further explanation respecting the note. .
Mr. Wontner stated that the prisoner had been in-
dicted in Dublin for stealing the parcel and acquitted,
and he had subsequently brought an action against his
prosecutors for false imprisonment and obtained a
verdict.

such an attempt would be injudicious. There were few
who did nut sympathise in this just cause for an ab-
sence which a 1 heartily lamented ; but, ere time was
allowed for consideration, the approach of the royal
cortege attracted universal attention, and, in a few
, minutes, the royal carriages, preceded by the Earl of
Rosslyn, and the usual manner of yeoman prickers, and
led horses, ale anced up the Course, in the foremost of
which his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Emperor
of Russia' and the King of Saxony, were quickly recog-
nised and loudly cheered. These expressions of respect
were acknow e tged by all three repeatedly bow-
ing right and left. In the carriages which followed
were the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel,
the members of her Majesty's Household, and
servitors of the illustrious visitors, all of whom shared
in the hearty we !come with which they were greeted.
For the nun, s of the occupants of the numerous car-
riages, we must refer to the Court Circular, only re-
marking that the ladies who formed part of the imposing
procession, being in mourning, detracted much from the
lively aspect ivhich it usually presents. On Prince
Albert, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Saxony
appearing at the windows of the royal stand, they were
again enthuthistically cheered. All were plainly attired,
the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony simply
wearing blue truck coats. Shortly after the royal party
had entered the stand, the gratifying fact was made public
that, in coiniremoration of his visit, the Emperor of
Russia had announced his intention to give annually, as
long as he live..., the sum of 500/. to be added to the race
fund of Ascot, thus liberally and nobly following the
example of hi, son, who, it may be borne in mind, con-
tributes 300/. every year at Newmarket, to be run for un-
der the name of the Cesarewitch Stakes. This intelli-
gence quickly spread from one end of the Course to the
other, and if the multitude were previously disposed to
testify their gratitude for the Royal visit, this generosity
increased the feeling of admiration, which was mani-
fested throughout the day by renewed enthusiastic cheers
when opportunities were afforded, and thesewere frequent,
for, as the hot 6es were saddled in front of the royal stand,
previous to the races, and the jockeys returned to weigh
close at hand, ceremonies to which his Majesty paid
particular attention, he was constantly brought in view
of the public. Both the Emperor and the King of
Saxony evil, tlyfelt great gratification at the scene
which w.is p, esented to their view, and at the.conclu-
sion of the race for the Gold Vase, which was won with
perfect ease by Alice Hawthorn, both descended from
the stand, accompanied by Prince Albert, and exa-
mined the extraordinary mare with great minute-
ness, the Emperor of Russia patting her with
obvious s:t tisfsetion. This sympathy in British
sports renewed the pleasure of the spectators,
and their expressions of delight could scarce
be kept within 'bounds, while they pressed so closely
rousd the. royal pair, that the King of Saxony with
difficulty eseapt d from their cordial embraces. The Gold
Vase had previously been exhibited in the Royal Saloon,
and excited the strongest expressions of approbation,
from the excellent taste which it displayed. It is in the
form of a tankard of large dimensions, of the time of
Henry the Eighth, the lid and handle displaying the
combat between St. George and, the Dragon. The
dragon is! in the act of seizing the shield of St. George
in his mouth, the knight having been thrown from his
horse, which lies prostrate at his side, while the latter
plunges his sword into the body of his furious assailant.
The horse, which is beautifully proportioned, is
in dead silver, the dragon and knight are gilt, and the
other ornamental parts of the vase are happily relieved
by the intermixture of silver and gold, the whole form-
ing a very magnificent and costly prize, highly creditable
to the establishment of the Messrs. Garrards, in which
it was modelled and manufactured. Between the race
fur the Ascot Stakes and the Gold Vase, the royal party
retired to lunch ; and, the race for the Vase concluded,
they returned to Windsor Castle in the same order in
which' they arrived, their departure being marked by
tenfold manifestations of popular gratification. The
remainder of the sports were quickly brought to
a conclusion, and the meeting broke up with a de-
gree of order and regularity consistent with the
moderate amount of company, and with a pleasing anti-
cipation, not only that the Emperor of Russia and the
King of Saxony will again honour the course with their
presence on Thursday, but with an anxious hope that our
Gracious and Beloved Queen may once more gratify the
wishes of her loyal and devoted subjects by her presence.
From the various objects which necessarily demanded
our attention upon such an occasion, we had little oppor-
tunity to collect a list of the fashionables present ; but
we may state that, in addition to those whose names will
be found as occupying the nine carriages which consti-
tuted the royal cortege, we noticed the Duke and Duchess
of Montrose, Duk, of Rutland ; Marquises of Exeter,
Normanby, Clanricarde, and Vorcester ; Earl and

The more than usual success which has attended this Company has
arisen—

From the combination of advantages formerly obtainable partly
from proprietary and partly from mutual societies, thereby affording
to the assured bonuses, reduction of future premiums, and complete
freedom from responsibility.
From the indisputability of the policies, leave to travel beyond
Europe, the option of payment of one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, and immediate settlement of claims.

ing the assured (by Table 2) to leave half the Annual Premiums un-

Mr. Sergeant BYLES—The present motion is not
brought on without notice.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said he would act with can-
dour. The facts were, there were two actions pend-
ing relative to the late Derby race ; one had been
brought against the above-named defendant by Colonel
Peel to give up the stakes, which he claimed as the
owner of Orlando ; Mr. Wood, the owner of Run-
ning Rein, also claimed the stakes, and had brought
his action in this Court. An interpleader rule had
been obtained, and Colonel Peel was very anxious
that the cause should be first tried in the Court of
Exchequer ; for if the issue should be first directed
from the Common Pleas, it was quite evident, from
the state of the trial paper, that it could not be tried in
Middlesex, nor was it likely in London. As the case
was one of the greatest interest, it was necessary that it
should be tried as early as possible, and from the state
of the business of the Court of Exchequer, there would
be no difficulty.

After some few remarks,
The COURT said that as Sergeant Shee was ni pre-
sent, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd objected, the issues
must remain as they were. Should Mr. Sergeant Shee
come down, and the different parties arrange the point,
the Court would then decide.

Prospectuses, and all other requisite information, will be furnished
on application to the Secretary, or the Country Agents of the Society.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
A person of very respectable appearance, named James
Egan, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the cus-
tody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with hav-
ing received a Bank of England note for 1001., knowing
the same to have been stolen. A vast deal of interest
was excited by this case, the prisoner having, as was
reported, been at one time Manager and Director of the
National Bank of Ireland, whose property the stolen
note was stated to be, and having been tried in the year
1842 in Dublin for stealing a parcel of bank-notes, of
which the 1001. note in question was one.
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended for the prosecu-
tion, to which Mr. Bozon acted as solicitor ; and Mr.
Wilkins, the barrister, and Mr. Wontner, the solicitor,
attended for the prisoner.
The National Bank of Ireland has established several
branches throughout many of the provincial towns of
Ireland, and amongst others in the town of Moate. The
Moate branch has been working for many years, and,
having occasion to forward parcels of Bank of Ireland
notes, post-bills, and other moneys and securities, from
Moate to Dublin, the manager was in the habit of making
such notes, &c. into a sealed parcel, and sending it, under
the charge of the Ballinasloe coach, every Monday
morning, directed to the agent of the Dublin office of
that establishment. It was also the custom to advise the
Dublin agent, by post, of the transmission of the parcel,
upon the morning on which it was forwarded from the
branch, in order that the runner of the Dublin office
should be in attendance to receive the parcel upon the
arrival of the coach at the coach-office. The usual prac-
tice then was (and there were few, if any, deviations)
that the manager advised, by a post letter, either on the
Saturday or the Sunday previously, that a money parcel
would be forwarded on the following Monday, by that
day's coach, and that, pursuant to that advice, arrange-
ments were made that the runner should be in attendance
to receive the parcel upon the arrival of the coach.
Mr. Clarkson called and examined the following
witnesses :

Mr. Patrick Maguire stated that he lived near Moate,
in Ireland. About the 17th of December, 1842, he paid
wasthe
note, handedee dto that
te (pointing witnes s.
to
a 1001. note into the Branch Bank of Ireland at Moate.
(Iserewrete leis

name noteen
name on the note) was his writing. He had received it
le
the
in a letter from Messrs. Sanders and Claxton, of Liver-
pool.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins--He would not posi-
tively swear to the month in which ho bad paid it into the
Bank. He often paid a 100 L note into that bank, and
always paid a large note.
Mr. W. Balman, clerk to Messrs. Sanders and Claxton,
of Liverpool, stated that the note had been in the pos-
session of the firm, and he had sent in December, 1842,
to Mr. Maguire. He had the particulars of the note.
Mr. John Murlagh stated that he had seen one of the
letters in the Moate branch of the National Bank of
Ireland, in December, 1842. On the 15th of December,
of that year, he received a 100/ note from Patrick
Maguire, whose name he wrote upon it. He had no
other Bank of England note in the house at the time.
On the 17th of December, the note was made up in a
parcel, and sent to Dublin, along with notes to the
amount of 2,0001. or 3,0001. No other Bank of England
note for 1001. was in the parcel.
Cross-examined by Wilkins— His recollection of the
matter was perfect. He could swear there was no other
100/. Bank of England note in the parcel.
Mr. Wilkins—Have you not said that your bank was
in the habit of putting your stamp upon the notes you
took? Witness—No. I have said that we were in the
habit of putting our stamp upon bank post-bills, not upon
bank notes.

Mr. Bozon—For 'how much, do you know? Well,
that has nothing to do with this question. I charge him
with receiving.

At the conclusion of the evidence yesterday,
Mr. Wilkins addressed the Lord Mayor upon the part
.of the prisoner. lie contended that the evidence by no
means warranted the committal of his client. He drew
his Lordship's attentinn to the .nature of the article
which was produced, which necessarily had passed
through a great variety of hands since 1842; to the
length of time which had elapsed before it was found in
the possession of the prisoner, and to the fact that he
had not given a false account of himself, but such an ac-
count as must inevitably direct any body who wished to
find him. The Learned Counsel declared that there was
not even ground for the least suspicion that the prisoner
was aware that the note had been stolen, or that any
criminality could be attached to the possession of it

Mr. Clarkson rose to reply.
Mr. Wilkins contended thathis learned friend had no
right to reply.
The LORD MAYOR intimated that he had made up
his mind upon the subject, and that there was no occa-
sion for a reply, but he certainly considered that Mr.
Clarkson had the right which Mr. Wilkins denied him.
That justice-room was a place of investigation and not
of trial, and the magistrate was justified in satisfying
himself by obtaining as much information as he could
get in the course of the investigation.
Mr. Clarkson said it was in his power to produce a
great deal more evidence against the prisoner. He did
not consider that anything his learned friend had said
was calculated to show that the prisoner was innocent of
the offence with which he was charged. As for the
length of time which took place between the robbery
and the changing of the note, that circumstance rather
strengthened than invalidated the suspicion of guilty
knowledge.
The LORD MAYOR declared that he had formed a de-
termination to commit the prisoner before Mr. Clarkson
had uttered a word upon the subject. The prisoner was
a man well versed in business, and perfectly understood
the nature of the business of the concern which had
been plundered. He had offered no explanation what-
ever as to the manner in which the rote he was accused
of having received had come into his possession ; and
that fact, coupled with his conduct at the coach-office at
the time the parcel was missed, and other circumstances,
rendered it imperative upon the Magistrate to send the
case to a higher tribunal.
The prisoner was then taken bank to the Compter.
C LERKEN WELL.
Thomas ,Watts, a leather-cutter, residing at No. 8,
Old Paradise-row, Islington, was charged with disturb-
ing a public meeting, and with resisting police-constable
175 N, when about to apprehend him.
The Rev. Henry Cole, a clergyman of the Church of
England, residing at N0..39, Highbury-place, Islington,
deposed, that on the previous evening a meeting of the
parishioners of St. Mary's, Islington, had been convened
in the school-room in Church-street, on the subject of
the Dissenters' Chapels Bill now berore Parliament.
The meeting had been convened by the Vicar of Isling-
ton, who was in the chair. The prisorer, who is a no-
torious Chartist, was in the body of the meeting, and in-
sisted upon making a speech. A resolution had just
been carried, and the Vicar put it from the chair, whe-
ther or no Mr. Watts should address the meeting, and
twice it was unanimously declared by the show of hands
that he should not. Still Mr. Watts Fersevered in ex-
claiming that he would address the meeting. Great
confusion ensued. There were repeated cries
.of " Turn
him out," and witne.,s, fearing that worse consequences
might ensue, gave him into the custody of a policeman.
Mr. Frederick Sandron, a gentleman holding a situa-
tion in the Home-office of the East India-house, and
residing at 47, Canonbury-square, deposed that he had
been present at the meeting, and confirmed in all respects
what the Rev.. Mr. Cole had stated ; and when Mr. Watts
insisted upon speaking, the Chairman told him-he must
not address the meeting if he were not favourable to its
Objects. As Mr. Watts did not say that he was so, the
Chairman twice took the sense of the mee•ing, and each
time it was unanimous against the prisoner's being heard.
It was only when the prisoner had ascended the plat-
form, and, in spite of repeated remonstrances, determined
on speaking, that he was given into custody.
A gentleman, named Dickson, who appeared as soli-
citor for Mr. Watts, was about addressing the Bench, but
Mr. GREENWOOD said, as the act proved to have been
committed by the prisoner did not amount to a breach of
the peace,
he could not interfere. It certainly was a
hard thing that a public meeting odd not be held
without being subjected to such annoyance ; but the
law did not, under present circumstances, allow him to
interfere.

The prisoner was discharged.
The Rev. Mr. Cole returned into Court a few moments
after the case was over, and said he had been threatened
by the prisoner's solicitor with an action fur false im-
prisonment.
Mr. GREENWOOD—The less I say on that subject the
better.

John Seon, guard of the Balinasloe coach, stated that,
on the 19th December, 1842, he received a parcel from
Mr. Murlagh. It was the only parcel he received at
Moate. It was addressed to Mr. Hartley, No. 53, Daw-
son-street, Dublin. Mr. Murlagh remained while wit-
ness put it in the boot behind, and locked the boot. In
Dublin he saw Coleman, the coach-office porter. The
parcel was found to hare been taken when it was
looked for.

James Coleman, porter to Mr. Hartley, of the coach-
office, in Dawson-street, stated, that he remembered the
day of the loss of the parcel, and believed itwas Monday.
There were two parcels in the boot of the coach when
it arrived in Dublin. Ono of these parcels he took out
and gave to Mr. Egan, the prisoner, who was present,
and the other he took into the office and gave to the
agent of Mr.. Hartley. Mr. Dowling, from the National
Bank, called for a parcel, and upon seeing the parcel,
which was brought into the office, refused to take it,
saying it was not the one he wanted. The Bank parcel
which Mr. Dowling sought was missing, and never had
been found since.

The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such,
among others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many
questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even
to the most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.

Mr. John Dowling, receiverof parcels for the National
Bank of Ireland, stated that he called at the coach-office
for a parcel, which was expected, but did not receive it.
He then went in search of Mr. Egan, the prisoner, and
found him at the Dolphin Tavern, in Essex-street. He
told the prisoner that the porter said he had given a
parcel to him (the prisoner) by mistake. Mr. Egan ap
peered uneasy, and witness said he did not charge him
with stealing the parcel, but that the porter said he had
given it to him by mistake. He denied that ho had re •
ceived any parcel but his own, which contained some
leases, which he was taking to his attorney, and he
afterwards produced a parcel, which he said was that
which the porter gave him. It was not what witness
wanted. Witness then asked him to go back to the
coach-office, and took the parcel in his hand. They
went to the coach-office accordingly. The parcel which
had been left at the coach-office turned out to be brown
paper only. A meeting took place at the bank next
day, which prisoner attended. Witness did not know
whether the prisoner had been manager and director of
the bank at one time.

Mr. Thomas Howell, proprietor of Dolly's Chop-
house, deposed that on Saturday, the 20th of April, the
prisoner came to his house about nine o'clock, and stated
that he had come from Athlone, and he left the house
at ten o'clock on Monday morning. On the Sunday
evening the prisoner asked him for change of a
1001. Bank of England note. Witness said he could not
change it until morning. Next morning he accordingly
procured change. The prisoner said he had the 100/.
note remitted to him. Witness asked him his name, and
wrote it down " Egar," according to his dictation. Wit-
ness then asked. him if the name was correct, and he re-
plied that it was. Witness understood him to say that
he was goink into Kent, to Lord Harris's, at Feversham.
The impression on witness's mind was that the prisoner
said he managed property to a large extent, which be-
longed to a gentleman who was Lord Harris.

Cross-examined—Witness certainly wrote the name
of "Egar" by the prisoner's dictation. The prisoner
mentioned that he had been at the house (Dolly's
Chop-house) two years ago, and witness, upon referring
to his book, found that such was the fact.

John Bosworth, a fashionably-dressed young man, was
charged with picking pockets. Police-constable No. 190, of
the C division, stated that, between six and seven o'clock
last evening. as he was or duty in Green-street, St. Martin's•
lane, he observed the prisoner following closely up behind a
lady and gentleman walking arm-in-arm. Suspecting he
was a bad character from his motions, he continued to follow
him, and in passing through Leicester-square he distinctly
saw him draw a bright-coloured silk-handkerchief from the
gentleman's pocket, with which he was making off, but a cry
of " Stop thief" being raised he ran fleetly for a considerable
distance. when, finding his pursuers gaining on him, he flung
the handkerchief in the carriage-way ;he was, however, ul-
timately secured.
The prisoner declared he was a highly respectable man,
but declined giving his residence. lie was remanded for a
week in order to allow time for the owner of the handkerchief
to appear.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.
These races commenced y 4 sterday, but, notwithstand-
ing the anticipated presence of her Majesty, and the an-
nouncement of the intended visit of the Emperor of
Russia and the King of Saxony, the att. ndance on the
Heath did not exceed, if it equalled, w hat we have wit-
nessed on former occasions on the first day, even with-
out those attractions. It is true the company was highly
respectable, and the Grund Stand very extensively pa-
tronised ; but there was an obvious falling off in the
amount of equipages ; and the general character
of the meeting, as compared with our ancient re-
collections, lacked that spirit and animation which
it has been our good fortune to have had to
record. This was not to be ascribed to the un-
favourable state of the weather, for that was alto-
gether delightful; the long prevailing wind from the
north-east having veered round to the south-west,
thereby effecting a pleasant and agreeable change—
neither could it be ascribed to the want of promised
sport, for the programme of the day's amusement em-
braced on paper no less than eight races, six of which
were contested, as will be hereafter seen. As little
could it be attributed to the want a zeal on the part of
the Earl of Rosslyn, the principal acting steward, whose
exertions to maintain the prosperity of the meeting
have fully equalled those of his predecessors, the Earl of
Errol and Lord Kinnaird; in fact, his Lordship has ad-
vanced in the march of improvement, and by the
erection of new stands and the construction of a com-
modious weighing stand, with convenient apartments
for the especial accommodation of the jockeys and
trainers, as well as other useful offices, has succeeded in
rendering this course in these respects superior to any
other in the kingdom. To trace the cause of this fall-
ing off, therefore, is somewhat difficult, unless it is to be
attributed to the suppression of those sources of excite-
ment which existed almost from time immemorial, but
which the recent orders from the Home-office have most
effectually extinguished. On reaching the heath yes-
terday there was not a single " club-house" to be seen.
The tribe of speculators on the credulity of the public,
forming in themselves no inconsiderable body, was totally
extirpated ; and the absence of those temples of fortune
into which the unwary were so frequently seduced to
their utter ruin, gave a new and almost rustic feature
to the scene. The suddenness of the change had no
doubt its influence on the minds of thousands who were
prepared for extraordinary excitement, and who could
ill accommodate themselves to the mere momentary
pleasure of a race in which, perhaps, they took no per-
sonal interest ; time will, however, we have no doubt
produce a more wholesome state of feeling, and reconcile
all classes to a state of things which, on reflection, must
convince them their own advantage has been consulted.
Shortly before one o'clock, to the mortification of the
multitude who anxiously expected the arriud of the
Queen, it was rumoured that this gratification
would be denied them, and that, in fact, from the
delicate state of her Majesty's health, and the excite-
ment so which she had recently been exposed.

Franchise made the running at a good pace, followed
by the Odessa colt, Maria Diaz third, and Donnybrook
and Fox next, Johnny heading the ruck in their wake.
At the top turn Maria Diaz took the same place, but in
a few strides resigned it to Donnybrook, who almost as
soon was displaced by Fox; the latter retained his posi-
tion until within half a mile of home, when Johnny
went in front, followed by the Knight of the Whistle, and
with this change the race may be said to have terminated.
Johnny held a strong lead to the end and won by three
lengths, Arcanus a bad third, and Priscilla Tomboy
fourth. Fox and lowland next and the others tailed
off at all distances.
