oath by two respectable housekeepers of the parish, as a
common gambling-house, and apprehend all persons
fimnd therein, he proceeded there about ten o'clock on
the previous evening, and found on the premises the firm•
defendants ; he also found in the " play-room" on the
fil-A floor two card-gaming-tables, obe roulette-table,
two tin boxes, one cash-box, twelve dice, two dice-box'-•s,
two roulette halls, three money-rake, 374 bone-count( rs,
IBS. lid, in silver, and Is. Bd. in copper.
Inspector Bcresford of the C division stated, that from
three o'clock on the previous afternoon, until se: en in the
evening, •he was in plain clothes watching about the
house, and saw Levy nearly the whole of that time act-
ing.as duor•keeper ; he was stationed outside, and when
any visitor came that he knew, he took a key from his
pocket and 'unlocked the door, and, after •admizsion had
becnObtained, he relocked the door, and returned the
key into his pocket. During the time mentioned, he let
in upwards of thirty persons. At short intervals, Joseph
and Winter acted as door-keepers. On proceeding to
enter the house, witness, to prevent Levy from giving an
alarm, rushed forward, as he was standing at the door,
and pinioned his arms, and then took the door-key from
the pocketho had observed him place it, in, and gained
admission. On going up stairs into the play-room, the
company were all playing round the tables, and Winter
was sitting at the head of a hazard-table, evidently con-
(Meting the game; the bank was in front of him. On
discovering they were detected, a simultaneous rush en-
sued, each seeking to effect his escape, one a slim young
man seized the bank, and jumped clean through one of
the windows; heedless of fa/ling on the spikes of the
area railings, into the street, and escaped. Some of them
were found concealed in the gutters on the roof of the
house, and others in the cellars, water-closets, &c., and
some up the 'chimneys. The defendant, Gregory,- was
found in a room on the second floor, which he occupied
as his private apartments. Joseph and Winter were
also apprehended on the premises, the former having
thrown himself out of a window on to some adjoining
leads.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES, •
The great contest fur the amateur elminpionship of the
Thames was yesterday rowed under the disadvantage of
such a late and unfavourable tide as served to deter many
from attending that which amongst all others could boast.
a superiority cf company on former occasions. The chal-
lengers on this occasion were Mr. Wallace and Mr..
Chapman. As both had exhibited game and power of
no ordinary stamp, a first-rate struggle was expected.
The tide was most unpropitious, indeed to get at even
half way, the start ought to have been at nine at night,
but as rowing at that hour was out of the question, the
gentlemen started at dusk with just light enough to pre-
vent the chance of accident, Mr. Wallace in a beautiful
boat of Searle's, and his opponent-in one built by Cown-
den and Wentzell. Mr. Wallacntook the lead, and held
it to the Horseferry, where his opponent came up, and,
tried to get by. Mr. Wallace picked him up, and then
spirted off again, and in a few more yards Mr. Chapman
was again up to his skulls, with a view to shoot by. The
same mametivre as before was repeated by Mr. Wallace,.
who again made a push. Off Nash's Road, near the
beacon at the Penitentiary; they were skull and skull,
and both went within the road. Mr. Wallace again was
in the course his opponent intended to take; and in the
foul Mr. Chapman drew a stroke or two, and the stern of
his boat being on his adversary's quarter, Mr. Wallace's
boat swamped, and lie was fortunately taken on board
the Leander. Mr. Chapman rowed on, and arrived at
Putney at twenty minutes to nine. There were a great
many club boats out.

Mr. HAnDwicu. said the effect of these low gambling
houses on Society was more pernicious than those of a
higher rank ; he should therefore find the defendant
Gregory in the penalty of 501. as the keeper of a com-
mon gaming house, or in default, three months' impri-
sonment to hard labour. • Winter he should tine 2.51.,
and the two others 151. each, or two months'imprison-
ment each.

The defendant Gregory in a short time produced the
money and was liberated.
The others stated their inability to pay and were com-
mitted in pursuance of their sentence. The remaining
defendants, against whom the charge was confined to
their having been found on the premises without lawful
eNCUSC, were tined 40s. or 14 days' imprisonment.
• About five or six paid the penalty, and the rest were
sent to gaol.

MGETINu- of MANCHESTER MER-
CHANTS and MANUFACTURERS.
On Tuesday afternoon a meeting of merchants and
manufitcturers connected with the trade of Manchester
and the neighbourhood, was held in the 'I o.vn-ball, to
receive the Report of tile deputation appointed at a
former meeting to lay the state of the trade of the dis-
trict before the Cabinet, without reference to party or to
the Anti-Corn-law League. Robert Gardiner, Esq.,
chairman of tile deputation, was called upon to preside.
Air. GEORGE CHAPPELL described the interviews the
deputation had had With the leading Ministers in
London ; and added, that the impression left upon the
minds of the deputies was, that Sir Robert Peel, Lord.
Ripon, and Mr. Gladstone would, if they had the power,
do more than they had done(Cheers)---hut that Sir
J. Graham, Lord Stanley, and Lord Wharneliff6 were
no friends to free trade. (Alderman Chappell sat down
amid great cheering.)
Mr. HOLLAND HOOLE was received with applause.
Tice facts 'stated by the deputation, he had no doubt,
lied made a deep impression upon the Government. His
conviction was, that they had made a stronger impression
than on any former occasion.—(Cheers.)
Mr. H. ASHWORTH recapitulated the leading points
argued at these interviews, with which our readers arc
already familiar. Of his own town, Bolton, he stated
that no less than 12,000 persons were receiving parish
relief ; that the rates laid were 21,000/. in twelve
months, out of which only 9,0001. could be collected. He
showed Sir Robert Peel a pound of sugar which cost 3d.
in New York, which could not be matched here for less
than Bd. per lb. ; and represented the gross hardship
of a system of taxation which, in one way and another,
taxed a man in five=eighths of his outlay.
Mr. BROOKS also addressed the meeting. •
The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said, on one
point he thought there was some difference of opinion.
In his opinion, Lord Stanley had received the deputation
courteously. With respect to Lord Wharnelitle, it was
only just and right to state, that the deputation engaged
to meet him at four o'clock, but, in consepienee of their
interview with Lord Stanley, they were unable to attend
until half-past four. Lord Wharncliffe told the
deputation when they entered the room, that he
would have to attend to his duties in the House,
and therefore the deputation could not get fully
into the subject before him. With respect to
the subject on which they went, there could
be no difference of opinion. Such a law as the present
sliding scale could not exist. Its removal was a matter
of time. He could find no words sufficient to cypress his
abhorrence of that abominable and wicked law, which
had entailed a measure of evil on this country from

repeal of this law was merely a matter of time—there
could be no doubt of its ultimate removal. He might
differ in politics from many of his friends, but lie should

EXTENSIVE FORGERY.

The Court of Assizes has been engaged on the trial
of an indictment against four persons for an exten-
sive forgery, of which the following is a summary.
In 1840, M. Goliot, an engraver of Paris, was applied
to and undertook to execute a copper-plate for some
bills sent to him by a printer at Madrid, as being
wanted for the Lisbon Bank, but, being doubtful as
to the correctness of the transaction, he made a com-

munication to the authorities, which gave rise to a di-
plomatic correspondence, that proved the order to
have been connected with some contemplated fraud,
and consequently M. Goliot declined having anything
to do in the affair. Sometime after this, Hermoso, a skil-
ful engraver of Madrid, carne to Paris, and took up
his abode at an hotel kept by a widow named
Boucheney. Here he formed, or renewed, an inti-
macy with two persons, one named Artayete, formerly
a tanner n Portugal, but living here under the name
of Aguere, and the- other named Pemoulie, at one
time a postilion, hut then engaged as a courier in the
service of the French Embassy. liermosO and Ar-
tayete, it appeared, engaged an engraver named
Grosset to engrave for them plates imitating the bills
Of the Bank of Brazil, for which they stipulated to
pay him 3,000 f. These, however, do not seem to
have been brought into actual use, as the indictment
accused them only of .attempting to forge notes of
the Brazil Bank. Hermoso, however, was in posses-
sion of plates of the notes of the Bank of San Fer-
nando, and Pemoulie, assuming the character of a
merchant, acting as agent for the Bank of Madrid,
ordered and procured from M. Mongolfier, the paper-
maker, a quantity of paper with the water-marks
necessary for accomplishing the fraud contemplated.
This obtained, an immense number of forged bills
were drawn off, and sent into circulation in France by
the three accomplices and the widow Boucheney. in
Mardi, 1841, Artayete went to Madrid, and there in
like manner issued the false paper to a very large
amount. At length the Bank of San Fernando dis-
covered the forgery, and,. by. giving public notice in
the Madrid Gazette, put the commercial world
throughout the Continent on its guard. It was, never-
theless, after this that Hermoso was detected, in com-
pany with Madame Boucheny, in passing some of
them at the office of a money-changer in Paris. They
were both arrested, and indicted with Artayete and
Pemoulie, who were also discovered and secured. On
their previous examination, and at the trial, Pemoulie
made ample revelations, which were fully confirmed
by corroborating testimony. Madame Boucheney,
however, pleaded that she was totally ignorant of the
false nature of the bills, which were such accurate imi-
tations. that they had deceived the most experienced
bankers, and the jury, believing her asseverations, ac-
quitted her. The other three prisoners were found
guilty, with extenuating circumstances. Artayete
was condemned to imprisonment for five years, with
a fine of 6,000 f., and to remain under surveillance of
the police foi ten years after his liberation ; Hermoso
