The most rational motives to Ltfe Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

EXCHEQUER BILLS FRAUD.
REPORT.
TO THE QUEEN'S MOST IXCELLENT MAJESTY.
(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.)
The bills now the subject of inquiry all purport to
be of the issues of March and June, 1841, and are
made out, in every case, for the sum of 1,0001. They
are, as to the paper, stamp, and every other particu-
lar, genuine, with the exception only of the signature,
and that is, in every instance, an imitation, more or
less successful, of the signature of the late D€ 2uty-.
Comptroller-General. We may stop, therefore, to re-
mark here, that it was almost impossible that any of
those instruments should have awakened (so far as their
external appearance was concerned) the suspicion of
those to whom'they were offered. We are directed by
the Act of Parliament to report "whether the holders
employed any and what means of inquiry into the
genuineness of such documents :" and in obedience
to this, we may here take occasion to state, that
though, when suspicion arose from collateral circum-
stances, the documents were in several instances car-
ried up to the Exchequer for examination about the
time of the discovery of the fraud, yet in other
cases (no suspicion being excited) the holders em-
ployed no means of inquiry into genuineness beyond
that cursory inspection which was usual on receiving
an Exchequer bill. On the other hand, however, no
inspection, though of the closest kind, would, in our
opinion, have had any tendency to excite doubt as to
the genuineness of the document.
Each of the bills in question is also a duplicate,
agreeing in number, as well as other particulars, with
some other bill; which last has, m many instances,
been compared with the counterfoil, and in every such
instance has been found to coincide. All the other
bills received from Smith were also (as there is ground
to believe) duplicates ; and the reason for so manag-
ing the forgery is evident, for an instrument bearing
a wrong number was likely to encounter immediate
detection, while, on the other hand, the danger of the
alternative plan arose only in the event of duplicates
happening tooome into possesion of the same party.
There were, however, other precautions to which
it was equally necessary for the contrivers of the fraud
to attend. In raising money on these instruments it
was essential to abstain from sale ; because, when
thus brought into general circulation, there would
not only be a great risk of their falling into the hands
of persons who had duplicates, but there was a
certainty of their being carried at the regular
periods of exchange to the office of the pay-
masters, where the duplicates also would of course
make their appearance, and lead infallibly to detection.
The plan adopted, therefore, was to raise the money
in every case by the deposit of the bill upon loan,
and before the next period of exchange came round
to redeem it by payment of the money, or to sub-
stitute for it another forged bill of more recent date.
This method, it is true, made it necessary to repay in
every case (sooner or later) the amount of the money
procured, as well as to pay the interest due upon the
loan ; but the advantage in the meantime derived was
the present use of large sums of money, which the
confederates endeavoured to employ with advantage
in extensive speculations in the stock market,
actuated, probably, by the hope of realising (after the
repayment of every loan) large fortunes in the result.
In carrying this scheme into effect, the mode of
operation was as follows :—At the commencement of
the transactions, and for some years afterwards, Ra-
pallo delivered over the bills received from B, Smith
to Angelo Solari, another foreigner, resident in this
country, between whom and Rapallo there had ex-
isted long previously some connexions ; and Solari
performed the service of raising money upon the bills.
''his he effected in part through connections formed
by the assistance of Messrs. William and James
Morgan, stockbrokers. They introduced him (at a
time when their own acquaintance with him, accord-
ing to their evidence, was but slight and recent)
to the banking houses of Messrs. Ransom and Com-
pany, and Jones, Loyd and Company ; and from
the former he obtained large sums of money from
time to time on the deposit of bills purporting to be
Exchequer bills, but which, in fact, had been received
from Smith. He obtained, besides, similar loans
from Messrs. Price and Co., bankers, but the precise
L medium of his introduction to them does not appear.
He formed, also about the same period, a connection
r with Messrs. William and James Morgan them-

Morgan, that to dwell upon them longer in this place
would only lead to wearisome repetition. The most
material points of difference seem to be, that Messrs.
Mariner and De Berckem charged commission on the
Exchequer bill loans, as well as on the stock trans-
actions; and that though they profess to have known
nothing of Solari, except as above stated, nor of
Rapallo, except 113 the agent of Solari, they represent
the former as giving a somewhat more specific account
of his position than he is stated to have done to
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, and to have asserted that
he was " connected with parties in Madrid and Paris,
who were carrying on a large speculation in Spanish
and other stocks." Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem
admit, however, that they were never employed in
any instance, by Solari or Rapallo, to sell an t xche-
quer bill, and that they never received any informa-
tion as to the manner in which the bills deposited were
procured.
These transactions of the confederates with Messrs
W. and J. Morgan on the one hand, and Messrs. Ma-
riner and De Berckem on the other, would appear to
have constituted the principal means by which they
carried the fraud into effect. We find that the ad-
vances procured by Messrs. W. and J. Morgan,
amounted in the aggregate, from first to last, to about
420,0001., and those of Messrs. Mariner and De
Berckem to about 46.5,000/., and that there were bills
in the hands of those parties or their depositaries at
one and the. same period of time (namely, at the dis-
covery of the fraud) to the amount of 330,000/. ; of
which bills to the amount of 161,0001. had come from
Rapallo to the hands of W. and J. Morgan, and
bills to the amount of 169,000/. to those of Messrs.
Mariner and De Berckem. It is also important
to remark that among the transactions to which
the 161,000/. relates, there is one which involved de-
posits to a very large amount simultaneously; for it
appears on the evidence of Mr. W. Morgan, that on
the 13th of October, 1841, Rapallo being then in-
debted to him in the ansount of 70,0001. and upwards,
applied to Lim for further advances, to the extent of
60,000/. more ' • which Mr. Morgan consented to pro-
cure, and, in fact, procured accordingly. There is,
however, no proof that Messrs. W. and J. Morgan
and Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem, though both
so largely concerned with bills proceeding from the
same source, had, as regards those bills, any know-
ledge of, or connection with, each other.

MERTHYR.
WORKMEN'S PUBLIC MEETING.
Great excitement was produced here on Monday
by seeing the walls of the town placarded with a re-
quisition, signed by 12 or 15 workmen, requesting D.
W. James, Esq., chief constable of the borough, to
convene a meeting on Wednesday, at four o'clock in
the afternoon, to ameliorate the condition of the
workmen, and to send an address to her Majesty,
praying her to reassemble Parliament at once to do
some real good to the inhabitants, great many of
whom are in a state of starvation, especially under-
ground workmen. It was currently reported on
Tuesday that the meeting would be held at the Market-
square, and that the chief constable would preside ;
however, it was held at P wee y Whiaid (a place about half
or three quarters of a mile eastward from the centre of
the town), on Wednesday, at the appointed hour, and
David Jones, shoemaker, was chosen as chairman,
who briefly opened the business of the meeting. We
give the substance of the resolutions, which were
proposed and seconded in due form by the miners,
Thomas Evans, Timothy Thomas, Evan Rees, David
Davis, David Ellis, and W. Mills
1. That it is absolutely necessary to inquire into
the unparalleled distress now prevailing in Merthyr
and its vicinities.
" 2. That ,vorkmen and their families cannot pos-
sibly support themselves and families, unless they
shall have the same wages as they had two years ago.
" 3. That it is much better for workmen to be idle,
without a sufficient quantity of provisions, than to be
toiling their bones and marrow, by working without
the common necessaries of life.
" 4. That it being almost impossible for the iron-
masters to make any advance of wages at the present
low price of iron, it was therefore agreed that an
humble address be sent to her Majesty, praying her
to recal Parliament immediately,
,to do more for the
people than they did the last six months."
Orders were given to preserve the peace, and
that an adjourned meeting be held at five o'clock on
Thursday morning, at the Market-square.
The meeting then separated quietly, at a little to
eight o'clock.
Thursday Morning, Six o'Clock.—The adjourned
meeting is just commenced. Mr. Jones, shoemaker,
was called to the chair. Miles and others spoke of
the distress of workmen, and it was agTeed that a
deputation should wait on the ironmasters.

selves, in the course of which he obtained, through
their agency as brokers, very numerous, frequent,
and large advances, the dates and amounts of which,
and the average rates of interest charged by
the len-
ders (exclusive of any commission to Messrs. W. and
J. Morgan), are set forth in the account, pp. 315 to
321. The nature of those dealings (which are explained
at large in the evidence of Mr. W. Morgan, Mr
E. Morgan, and Mr. Cook (pp. 339 to 355) may be
compendiously stated as follows :—Solari brought
them from time to time instruments purporting to be
Exchequer bills (but, in fact, received from Smith) ;
and on the deposit of these in their own names, as the
apparent borrowers (according to the usual custom of
stockbrokers employed to procure loans), they ob-
tained large sums of money, out of which, as from
time to time directed by Solari, they purchased for
him foreign bonds or share 3, or paid losses incurred by
him in the stock market. They also from
time to time, paid over to him large sums
of money, and paid off the principal and
interest which became due on the loans ; and
received from him, on the other hand, large sums of
money, and sold foreign bonds for him, and credited
the same in his account. For these services they
charged the usual commission or brokerage, so far as
the stock transactions were concerned, and were en-
titled by agreement, as Mr. W. Morgan asserts, to
Ihave also received a commission on the loans ; but

this latter commission was,
in point of fact, never
charged or paid, owing, as he alleges,
to a laxity in
the mode of carrying on the account. The
dealings lasted until the death of Solari, which
took plane in October, 1840, after which Rapallo
himself (who had previously done business with
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan for some time as Solari's
deputy during his illness) was introduced to them by
his widow and executrix as her friend, whom she
wished to continue the transactions carried on by her
husband ,• and between Rapallo, as, ber agent, and
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, the same course of deal-
ing was from that time accordingly pursued that has
been already described in relation to Solari, and it
terminated only on the public discovery of the fraud,
which took place, as hereafter more particularly
stated, in October 1841. During the whole of these
transactions with Solari and Rapallo, Messrs. W. and
J. Morgan profess themselves to have had no know-
ledge whatever (beyond the slight introduction of
Solari above noticed) of the mode of life, property,
or connections, of either of these parties, and to
have , received no specific account from them of the
person or persons for whom they were acting ;
though it is stated by Mr. W. Morgan that he was
told at the outset by Solari that " he had a friend
who was a large capitalist, and who would lend him
money." They also admit that they were never em.
ployed either by Solari or Rapallo to buy or to sell
an Exchequer bill ; and allege that they themselves
believed the whole of the bills on which the loans
were obtained to belong
to the rich friend of whom
Solari had spoken, but of whose name they were
never informed. This latter statement, of course,
implies that they also believed the confidence reposed
in Solari by his rich friend to have been transferred,
upon his death, to his widow ; for they profess to
have considered Rapallo as having always acted in
the capacity of her agent only.
Messrs. W. and J. Morgatil however, were not the
Rapallo only parties with whom Solari and Rapallocarried on
this kind of connexion. They had a similar account
with Mr. Wm. Mariner, who held a t the time the
situation of secretaryto the National Brazilian
Mining Company ; and who had done business at a
former period on the Stock Exchange. Mr. Mariner
states, having some acquaintance, as ho with Solari
(though without knowledge of his pursuits, except
that he had speculations in the funds), applied to
him, as he alleges, for part of his brokerage busi-
ness, and was accordingly employed I,y
-him from
April, 1838, to obtain loans on the deposit Of Ex-
chequer bills ; and Mr. Mariner accordingly entered
into arrangements on the subject with Mr. P. T. De
Berckem, a stockbroker and member of the Stock
Exchange, by whose intervention (as agent nominally
for Mr. Mariner, but with knowledge that the latter
was employed by Solari and Rapallo) all the loans
were procured, Mr. Mariner and Mr. De Berckem
dividing the remuneration (which was at the regular
and customary rate of half per cent, per annum)
between them. Through this channel, in addition to
that of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, Solari, and (after
him) Rapallo, succeeded in depositing from time to
time, with different parties, large masses of the bills
received from Smith ; and conducted at the same time
through the same medium,
extensive speculations by
way of purchase and otherwise, in the stock and share
market. The nature of these dealings will be fully
collected from theaccolints, pp. 356 to 358, and 417
to 426, and Mayo's evidence, pp. 325 to 329 ; but
they are so similar to those which have been already
described in the case of Messrs. William and James

FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the " Times:"—
" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
mornin I ae down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and lam
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
" I ern, your obedient servant,
" TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.
" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P. S. At the various consultations held upon my case, the
surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. II."
This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious
in any of the above afflictions) may be obtainett of, or through
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or
Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ;
or from the Proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

The funds did not leave off quite so well as
they were in the afternoon, although the accounts by
several deliveries of the post were quite as good as
these in the morning. It has been ascertained that
all the military, in the neighbourhood of London,
were under arms, shortly after twelve last evening,
and that orders have been issued to keep themselves
prepared for any summons this night also. These
facts, Coupled with the regulations of the City autho-
rities,‘ and the presence of the Lord Mayor, who has
come expressly from Scotland to resume his proper
authority, has given greater confidence to the citizens,
all of whom are upon their alert, in consequence of it '
being understood that another meeting is about to
take place to-night, which has already been ushered
in by a tumultuous procession of boys, intermixed
with some of the other sex about their own ages,
throughout the principal streets. One of the great
objects to be attained by these assemblages is the
possession of the Bank of England. And it is a fact,
but little known among the surrounding inhabitants,
that a stronger castle does not exist. it is so built
that the roof affords a complete platform, which is largely
supplied with cannon, that embrasures are ready
to be formed at,a moment's notice, and that a guard,
with a sufficient number of experienced men, are
always at hand to repel any attack. It is to be hoped
that no such extremity may occur, inasmuch as from
the difficulty of approach, and from the nature of the
defences, any hostile party must necessarily expe-
rience great loss, without deriving any adequate
benefit. Were every book in the Bank of
England to be destroyed at the present moment,
the national debt, or the interest of the holders
therein would not in the slightest degree be lessened,
because precautions have for years been taken against
the possibility of such an. event. Consols closed at

THE CORK VITRIOL TuuowEits.—This morning
Timothy Herlehy, Daniel Sullivan, John Drew, and
Daniel Lonergan, the four nen sentenced to transporta-
tion for life at the late assizes for throwing vitriol at Mr.
Wilson, were removed from the city jail, on board the
Eagle steamer, lying at Merchant's quay, for conveyance
to the convict depot, Dublin. 'They were escorted by a
strong detachment of the 10th Hussars, and a numerous
police force, the entire under the direction of Captain
White, Justice of the Pose a. The crowd assembled was
immense, but there was not the least disposition to riot,
and when the vessel left the quay at eleven, the multiv
tad. quietly dispersed.—Cork Reporter of Tuesday. •
KEXMORE.—The news of the expected Royal visit
to Taymouth Castle, which transpired on Saturday last,
has caused a great sensation. It brought back the Noble
Marquis from the hills, just when commencing the
season. The preparations for the occasion are chiefly
confined to out-door exhibitions, for which purpose some
hundreds of the tenantry and followers are to be
equipped in the clan:tartan, and disciplined so as to re-
present the following of an ancient chief. Their services,
however, will be chiefly required for the grand stag
hunt, which it is understood will take place at the Black
Mount, and will be shared in by Prince Albert. Her
Majesty, it is understood, will spend most of the two
days appropriated to the visit, in enjoying the unequalled
walks and scenery around the Castle ; including a boat-
ing excursion on Loch Tay. The battery, on the hill
facing the Castle, is undergoing revision, and will wel-
come her Gracious Majesty and Consort with a volley,
which will startle the deer on the Black Mount. This
is a long promised visit, it is said, on the part of her Ma-
jesty, the description given by her Royal Uncle, King
Leopold, of the gratification he received at Taymouth
many years ago, having increased the desire to witness
its unequalled scenery. The Royal party will arrive on
Tuesday afternoon by the Bishopric-road ; and leave by
the Criefl and Taybridge-road for Drummond Castle,
on the Thursday following.—Perthshire Courier.
PLAGUES OF POPULARITY.—A popular man is a
butt for all the world to shoot at. He is uni-
versally applied to in all manner of distresses, by those
who do know him and those who do not. There is not

a " widow with seven small children," a respectable
tradesman "overwhelmed by a concentration of untoward

events," a clergyman whose " expenses have exceeded
his income," or an elderly maiden escaped in her chemise
from the " late calamitous fire," 'who does not make him
acquainted with their respective misfortunes, and look to
him for relief. The Duke of Wellington, we dare be
sworn, has received more letters from the widows of the
officers slain at Waterloo, than ever fell in all his cam-
paignal there is not a successful actor on the stage who
could not furnish his quota of correspondence with self-
dubbed Thespians, dated from half the gaols in England.
But if your popularity be literary, there is positively no
end of the persecution. Every day brings its epio or its
drama, its vowel in three volumes, or its voyages in two,
with a modest request to wade through the ill-written
MS.. criticise, amend with a preface. and recommend to
a publisher, or to friends for subscription.
CatErr.—The intelligence of the Royal visit to
Drummond Castle, has caused a great sensation in this
district, as, independent of the feelings of loyalty which
will be gratified by a passing glimpse of our young
Queen, the preparations for the suitable reception of the
Royal party are likely to benefit in various ways this
locality. In the first place, the Noble Lord and Lady
Willoughby have ordered two hundred of the finest
looking young men on their estates, to be equipped in the
clan tartan, at their expense, with full accoutrements.
These aro intended to exhibit a specimen of a highland
Chieftain's following ; and as it is said there is not to be
any gathering of the clans at Edinburgh, as on the oc-
casion of the visit of Geo. IV., this is likely to he the
first, if not only, opportunity for her Majesty seeing a
body of the Gael in their native dress, among their native
mountains. There are reports that while here there wit
be n grand deer hunt in the forest on the south of Lochl
Earn, at which Prince Albert, if not her Majesty in
person, will be present. Singular, if Ben Voirlich should
in reality echo with the horn of a Royal party, such as
"Lady
of only imagined in his celebrated scene in the
of the Lake I"—Perthshire Courier.
BERLIN, AUG. 9.—Merchants' letters from Copen-
hagen, say that it was intended to conclude the new con-
vention respecting the Sound duty with the Governments
of Russia, England, and Austria, but such obstacles were
' caused by the demands of some parties, principally
Russia, that unless matters should take a more favourable
turn, the convention will probably be concluded between
Denmark and Prussia separately, which will be difficult
enough.
