BANIFORGERIES.-1 it the report which we
give of the proceedings that took place on Sa-
torday, at the Old Bailey, the public will find
matter for deep and serious reflection. Two Ju-
rits have set their faces against the system hi-
therto pursued by the Bank. The result of their
verdicts may probably lead to, some change of the
general system ; and a rational hope may be ett-
terteined, that it cash payments cannot be. re-
sat red, it plan will at least be adopted for.,
issuing to the public a new species of notes, of
which the imitation may be easily detected... The
Bank will now feel that they must do something
of this kind ; they will see that their own credit,
now placed in jeopardy by the verdicts of. juries,
reader it necessary for them to adopt some of
the numerous suggestions that have been made
to them by ingenious and benevolent men, and
the adoption of which we have so repeatedly and
so urgently recommended to them. In the mean
time it is some consolation to the Public to be
afforded an opportunity of ascertaining in some
degree the difference between real and forged
Bank Notes, though they are not possessed of
the complete means of detecting the forgeries. In
the course of one of the trials to which we allude,
Mr. GLOVER, one of the Inspectors of the Bank,
thus far explained' the difference between the real
and the forged Bank Notes In the first place,
the paper is not of the same kind ; next, the
water-mark in the forged notes is indented, by
a sudden pressure made after the paper is manu-
factured, whereas the water-mark of the Bank of
England Notes is interwoven, as it were, with
the manufacturing of the paper of which they
are made. Then as to the numbers, or figures of
the .different Notes ; those belonging to the Bank
are stereotyped, while the figures of the forged
Notes are always struck upon the copper they are
engraved on."

[The Times.]
The death of 'her Majesty the late Queen of
England has called forth, amongst Englishmen in
foreign countries, every proper testimony of
us-
tiuttal attention and respect. All our countrymen
at Paris are clad in deep mourning ; and the last
presentation of the diplomatic corps to the French
King having taken place on the Ist instant, being
the eve of the day appointed for the Royal Fitne-
rat, Sir Charles Stunrt, the British Ambassador,
did not appear at Court. The Duke of Welling-
ton has declined a guard of honour at his hotel in
Paris; we presume, because his official character
has terminated with his command-in-chief of the
foreign army within the-French frontier. His
Grace and the British Ambassador were intro-
duced to his Majesty on the 2d, wearing large
black scarves. It has been already stated, that
Cambaceres and other exiles are on the point of
returning to France, with the King's permission.
The half-pay Officers also at Colmar, with Gene-
ral Pntliod at their head, have been addressing the
Due d'Augoulerne in an oration, the language of
which, it correctly reported, • savours rather of
impatience than of penitence. Wi:lr the year 1815
fresh in public recollection, it requires no small
nerve, one would imagine, on the part of certain
military bodies, to talk about dying for their

king.
