OL CE :aENCE _
MANSION-HOUSE. _ _

An application was made on Wednesday last to the
Lord Mayor,•by Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, for a
n arrant against a person named Alves, for a transaction
to the particulars of which, as a vast deal of misehief is
done daily in the metropolis by " men of business" of
the kind, it is necessary to call the attention of those who-
intrust their bills to agents, in the expectation of receiving
accommodation to the amount of the securities so in-
trusted. Mr. Hunipfireys stated that two ladies of high
respectability and pectiniary resources, having had occa-
sion for the loan of some money, Mr. John Alves, who
called himself a bill-broker, by some means found out
that such was the case, and wrote to them to know_ whe--
ther they wanted, the cash, and informing them that he
would wait on them upon the subject, if favoured with.
an appointnient. Several interviews resulted from the
correspondence thus commenced, and on the .19th of May
Mr., Alves got from those ladies a bill of -exchange at
six months, for 500!., for which he handed them an ac.-
countable receipt, wherein he said, " I herebY pledge
myself to discount, in cash, on May the 20th, of this
present month, less 45/. interest, and Bs. 6d.,- value of
stamp for said bill ; and in failure of said promise, I de-
clare the said bill of exchange to be null and void.
J. Alves."---lle then went away with the bill ;
and in the . afternoon of the same day, some
young man, who said he came from the Bedford Com-.
mercial. Bank, No. 15, Bedford-street, Covent-garden,
called on the ladies to be informed whether the bill was
correct. They said it was genuine. Mr. Alves waited
on them soon afterwards, and stated that the gentleman
who was to discount the bill was out of town, and would
not he back on the morrow, but would return on Satur-
day, the 21st, when he (Alves) would call on them with
the money. Mr. Alves not having kept his appointment,
they drove to the Bedford Commercial Bank, where they
asked to be introduced to one of the firm, and were told
that Mr. Pooke was the manager. The ladies were
shown into his room ; they told their business, and
showed the receipt Alyea had given them. Mr. Pooke
said he had declined discounting the bill, and, at the
request of the ladies, sent a messenger for it, and wrote'
on the back of Mr. Alves's receipt an acknowledgment
for the return of the bill, which he got one of the ladies
to sign. She then took the bill, and gave Mr. Pooke the
receipt. Upon coming out of Mr. Pooke's room they.
found Mr. Alves in the banking room, and they were in-
formed that Mr. Pooke had received the bill of a Mr.
Coyle, of Piccadilly, who was a customer at the house.
Mr. Alves expressed his regret at the manner in which he,
had been treated, and begged to be allowed to call on the•
ladies again, assuring them he could procure what they
required ; and on the 23d of May he prevailed on
them by his ingenuity to let him have the bill,
on his giving the following acknowledgment on
the back of the old receipt :—" I have again
received the above bill, and will either return it
this day or discount the same in cash. 23d May, 1842.
Signed J. Alves." In the evening Mr. Alves called
again on the ladies, and said the gentleman who was to
give the cash was out of town; but would be in town at
half-past ten o'clock next morning, and that the money
should be with them at 12 o'clock. Mr. Alves did not
make his appearance, but a Mr. Bowie, of No. 92, Shoe-
lane, tea-dealer, called on them, said he had discounted
a bill of theirs, and that he waited on them to make in-
quiry about it —that he had already given 2001. on it, and
that he was to give the remainder at three o'clock on
that day. The ladies immediately followed him to Shoe-
lane, where they learned from him that Mr. Ales had
given him the bill. They then showed Mr. Alves's re-
ceipt, at which he appeared to be surprised, and said—
" Why, this is only CI discount • I am to have 1001. for
the discount. I was to give Mr.i Alves 2001. more, in
addition to what he has already had." The ladies waited
considerably beyond the time appointed, but Mr. Alves
never appeared. Next day, Mr. Bowie again called on
them. and offered to let them have the bill it they would
pay hint the 200!. he had advanced, and the 1001.
disceunt. They • declined, and then he offered -to
take 2501. ; but that offer they also rejected. On the
27th of May Mr. Bowie wrote to them, stating that he
should be obliged to negotiate the bill next day, as he
bad a heavy payment to make, and notice was then
served upon hint to retain it, as application would be
made to the Lord Mai or.
Mr. Pooke aas first called as a witness, to prove the
bill having been brought to him.
Mr. Beta ie was then called, who said that on the 23d
of May Mr. Alves brought him the bill, and asked him
to discount it, which he consented to do, and gave him
2001., promising 200/. more on the next day. Ile was
therefore to have 100/. fin. discount. But Alves did not
return on the following day. Alves told him it was a
first-rate bill.
The LORD MAYOR—And how could you think of
taking 1001. as discount, for such a bill ? So you gave
him the 2001.. and you have not heard from him since ?
Mr. Bowie—Certainly, I gave him the 2001., and I have
not heard from him since.
Mr. Humphreys then called upon Mr. Bowie to pro-.
dace the bill; but he said he could not ; he had it not
about him, and it would be very inconvenient to pro-
duce it.
The LORD MAYOR—We undertand the meaning of its
not being convenient to you to produce it ; but you re-
ceived notice to-day to produce it
Mr. Humphrey then applied for a warrant against
Alves, and called upon Bowie not to part with the bill.
The warrant was immediately granted.
UNION-I/ALL.
James Tucker, a notorious thief, was charged with picking
pockets.
Mr. Coltsford, solicitor, stated that on the preceding after-
noGn,.as he was about to enter the Surrey Zoological Gardens;
he felt a tug at his coat pocket, and on turning round saw the
prisoner and another lad walking away at a smart pace. He
followed them, and seizing the prisoner found his handkerchief
Concealed underneath his coat. His companion made his escape.
It was given in evidence that the prisoner was a convicted
thief, and on examining his hands the distinguishing mark of
the " Forty Thieves" was found between his fore-finger and
thumb. He was committed.

CLERKENWELL.
A foreigner, named Laborde, was charged with assaulting a
female.
It appeared that between twelve and one o'clock last night
the complainant and another female were returning from a
millinery establishment in Lower Road, Islington, when they
were overtaken by a cab, in which were four gentlemen.
They asked complainant to get in, and upon her refusing she
alleged the prisoner forced her in, and was about taking im-
proper liberties with her when her cries brought a policeman
to her assistance.
Slr. Wakeling, who appeared for the prisorer, said the girl
was oot willing to prosecute—that his client meant her no

A rich treat will be afforded to the lovers of Scottish
song by going to hear Mr. Wilson this evening, at Store-
street. At the same time the most lively feelings will be
awakened in the minds of the audience by the interesting and
picturesque appearance of the whole of children belonging
to the Caledonian Asylum, clethed in the Highland Garb, who
will be there to listen, with youthful enthusiasm, to the wild
war song which so often urged their fathers to the fight, nr to
the plaintive melody of the highlanders' lament upon the
murder of Glencoe—the tearful " Lochaber no more," and the
all-exciting " Tullochgerttrn:" We hope there will be a good
attendance, -andlincevely wish Mr. Wilson that success which
he so justly merits.
An excellent fete champetre-took place at Charlton
Park yesterday, the benevolent object of the visitors being to
aid the funds of that useful institution, the Royal Kent Dis-
pensary. The pleasures of the day were much enhanced by
the throwing open by Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson of his fine
old mansion of the date of James 1., with its pleasure grounds
and parks to the public.
M. Worms, a printer, was on Friday, sentenced by the
Cerrectional Tribunal to pay a fine of 1,0001. for printing the
Journal des Journaux without.having made the previous de-
claiation required by the law.
(ADVERTISEMENT.)—INTERESTI?iG TO LADIES.--
The influence of the sun on the Skin and Complexion at the
present season is frequently subversive of comfort to persons of
delicate skin, by producing Sun-Burns, Freckles, Tanned
Skin, and Lipaparched and swollen. To oppose these inno..
vations, the most infallible specific is Rowland 's Kalydor, a
preparation from the most delightful exotics, which not only
by its use insures the skin from the effects of summer's scorching
-heat, but never fails of restoring the skin to its pristine deli.
cacy, and whiteness. It is invaluable as a renovating and
refreshing wash during travelling, or expostureto sun and dust s.
and, from its extraordinary efficacy in allaying all incidental
inflammation, deserves a place among the household treasures
ef every family.
