THE LATE ACCIDENT ON BIRNAM-HILL.—We are
gratified to learn that Lady Peel has, at the sugges-
tion of Sir Robert, generously bestowed, out of a
fund which is at the disposal of the Lady of the First
Lord of the Treasury for charitable purposes, the
sum of five pounds per annum on the widow of the
unfortunate man, Daniel M'Lachlan, who was killed
by a fall from Birnam-hill on the night of her Ma-
jesty's arrival in this city, while tending the bonfire
on the hill. This is in addition to thirty pounds Le-
stowed by her Majesty out of her private purse.—

CITY, MONDAY tYE NINO;
The English market presented, at the close of
blisiness, no new feature, beyond an additional firm-
ness, owing as much to the near approach of the pay-
ment of the dividends, as to the reports 0f the
favourable condition of the quarter's revenue. is
tables are looked for with some interest, but it is
believed that they cannot be taken as. a correct
criterion of improvement, if such be the fact, inasmuch
as they will include large amounts deducted from the
dividends, &c., in anticipation of the Income-to/
and the sums unexpectedly received for the duty on
corn, as well as the duties upon other artickes_
which were not released from bond until ,the tariff
came fully into operation. Consols left off at 93- 9q,

The speculators in Mexican Bonds appear now t°
be as anxious for a rise as they lately have been for a
decline; but the distrust which the late operationS'
have created would appear to be more difficult to re-
move than had been anticipated. The quotation "119

It has been attempted to give a degree of Pond,
.13,
importance to the meeting of Portuguese °"
holders, about to be held upon the question of eon;
version, and to the financial situation of
country, and, consequently, to raise a sPec.ued
tion thereon. The latter has long been ascertain
to be as bad as it well can be; that is to say, that theiy
are without money for the most ordinary
.purPl
and without credit to raise it ; in fact, it is in nes,il
as disreputable a state as Spain. It is somewhat the
picious that the strongest argument in favour of
in
arrangement is found in the difficulty of dealing
n 5 4
the documents, owing to the numerous designati°
which they at present bear, and therefore the utility _
reducing them to one time, and the fact that Ow
identical parties who at the time of issuing the dec,bet
were so much opposed to it, are now as desirous '.OO
it should be taken advantage of. A stringent que'tliv
on the subject has been asked, and to which noreet.`,.
has yet been found If it were inexpedient to
of
vest two years since, when there was a prosPectthe
payment, why should it be resorted to now, when bief
Portuguese:treasury isavowedly bankrupt ?” The c.ouo
object has, however, been. effected, and the quofor tonthe

1-11 E HISTORY and MYSTERY of the
EXCHEQUER BILL FORGERY.

National Brazilian Mining Company. This was not
a position to command credit ; and Mariner, not
choosing to appear by name in the Exchequer-bills
negotiations, had 'these transactions conducted by
Francis de Berkem, dividing the profits between them.
"F. de Berkem's father, who had failed in busi-
ness as a merchant, was soon after admitted as a
broker on the Stock Exchange. After the panic of
1825, the son, when very young, was sent out as
confidential clerk to Mr. Oxenford, then the ma-
naging director of a mine in Brazil, and now one of
the Directors of the Commercial Bank of London.
Afterwards, De Berkem left his situation, to become
a principal, and had a mine of his own ; but it did
not answer, and he returned to England. In 1836,
he became a member of the Stock Exchange, and
stood in second or third-rate credit. ' His general
character was, that he was very seldom sober.' "
The following is the account given of Louis
Napoleon's enterprise, from which it would appear
that he was the dupe of the stock jobbers :
" The _ speculations in companies having again
proved unprofitable, Solari was easily persuaded by
Rapallo to limit their operations to jobbing in the
public securities, and, in the meanwhile, to take such
measures as would insure better chances than before.
The basis of their operations continued to be the po-
litical events on the Continent. During their former
enterprise, no important event would occur. In order
not Io be again disappointed in their expectations, they
resolved to prepare one; not
,so paltry a one as would.
affect the funds only to a fractional amount, but such
a one as might change the destinies of Europe and
convulse the Stock Exchange.
" The wise policy of the French Government
assisted them in the execution of their projects. In-
stead of leaving Louis Napoleon alone amongst the
poor Switzerlanders, where he could do comparatively
nothing, and where he perhaps would have recovered
from his fits of ambition, the French statesmen,
choosing to be afraid of the young man, threatened a
war with Switzerland, unless the Republic expelled
the nephew of Napoleon, who acted, in these eircum-
stac:ees like a sensible gentleman, and in order to
save his ajonted country fwm an invasion, sought an
asylum in Eng:Lind'
" The arrival of an avowed pretender in‘ohist,
country was considered as a -odsend by our spell-
lators. They soon contrived to be intr:..duced to himr
and the plan of operations was settled in a very.
time ; the double object of the operators being to give
to Louis Napoleon an imperial crown, and to reap
for themselves a golden harvest of millions of English
sovereigns. They would not be satisfied with less,
besides the honour and glory of the achievement.
" Before sending the future emperor on his dynastic
journey, it was necessary to prepare public opinion
for the_ change, to unite the Bonapartist party, and to
provide an
.organ for the furtherance of their interests
and their principles. A newspaper was started in
Paris for that purpose, in the spring of 1839, under
the title of Le Capitole. One M. Bonnet, whom Ra-
pallo calls his friend, was the cashier of that paper ;
and, if all the accounts of Solari and Rapallo were
produced, there would be found abundant proof that
the proceeds of a portion of the Exchequer bills were
applied to the creation of the Capitole, and to its sup-
port during the whole period of its existence.
" One year was consumed in this preliminary at-
tempt of invasion on public opinion, preparatory to
the actual invasion of the territory of France ; and, at
the end of that time, it was discovered that only .a
very small number of the French had rallied round
the Capitole ; that, whatever might be the causes, its
advocacy of the Idees Napoleoniennes* did not obtain
the anticipated success, and that the assistance of
another newspaper was requisite. The party, there-
fore, bargained for the Journal du Commerce, then the
property of M. Mauguin, the deputy, and counsel (in
Paris) of the French Asphaltum and Patent Coal
Company, as I have before stated. The price paid,
according to my authorities, was 14,0001. sterling.
Here, again, the accounts of Solari and Rapallo would
prove that part of the proceeda of the Exchequer .bills
were invested in the purchase.t
" The success of the grand enterprise now appeared
so certain, that they began to prepare for their ex-
pedition ; and it was reported in Paris, towards the
end. of June, that every thing was ready in London
and that the landing of the pretender might be daily
expected.
"The treaty of the 29th of July, 1840, and the irri-
tation which it produced in France, seemed to furnish
a most favourable opportunity. Time bargains in
the French and other funds being duly made, Louis
Napoleon was expedited; and, on the sth of August,
he landed, visited the Imperial column, and, soon
after entering Boulogne, was led a prisoner into the
Citadelle.
" The expenses of this expedition, which were con-
siderable, were also paid with the proceeds of the
Exchequer bills, as would appear from the accounts
of Solari and Rapallo, if those accounts were pro-
duced ; and, even without them, there is sufficient
evidence of the fact, in the accounts of other
parties. From the 23d to the 31st of June,
Solari obtained loans on Exchequer bills, as
follows :—from Price and Co., 12,000/. ; from Ran-
som, 6,000/. ; from Morgan, 10,000/. ; from Mariner,
23,6001. On the 23d of June, Solari withdrew from
Ransom and Co. 3,900 French Napoleons, which he
had deposited with them eight .days before, and a
prtion of those Napoleons were found on board the
Edinburgh Castle, when taken possession of by the
French authorities.
"As to the personal participation of Rapallo, it is
admitted by all parties, as well as by himself, that he
engaged the ship from John Harman, the acting
Director of the Commercial Steam Packet Company,
and his co-Director in foUr Companies ! ! Rapallo
admits that he 'used to receive money for Louis
Napoleon, and that he lost immensely through his
failure.' "

to the parties holding the. forged Exchequer
bills, and that it ought not to pay them. They
ought, he affirms, to have acted with more cau-
tion. He insists that the parties holding the
bills ought to have sought their remedy by suing
those from whom they received them, and that,
if this had been done as soon as the fraud was
discovered, a great portion of the property ac-
quired by the deposit of the forged bills, would
have been recovered. It is certainly a curious
!natter, worthy of inquiry, what became of the
proceeds of the bills? Somebody must have
profited by the forgery; and the public would
like to know who that somebody is. Three
hundred thousand pounds cannot easily be lost
sight of; and the present possessors of the
Money, for which the Exchequer bills were
deposited, should be signalised. An immense
forgery has been perpetrated, and nobody knows
who benefited by the guilt. Is Rapallo a rieh
man ? Is Mrs. Solari a lady of great wealth ?
Or have the gentlemen of the Foreign Stock
Exchange been the better for Mr. Rupallu
guilt?
* The title of a volume published by Louis Napoleon
about the time.
The liberal and anti-English M. Mauguin, through
the agency of nis secretary, the present Editor, re-pur-
chased this Journal for 5,00 C/. sterling.

Under the above title a sensible pamphlet has
been Published, a few extracts from which will
be interesting. The writer finds fault with the
Ina"ler in which the Commissioners conducted
their inquiry, and asserts that, if they had been
alert
and vigilant, much more would have been
atscovef.ed. He says—
" The declaration of Smith positively stated, that
he had been hurled into the abyss of guilt, by the
irresistible inflaence of high personages ; that none of
the bah.
the were signed when delivered by him ; that
signatures must have been affixed afterwards ; and
that to atone for his transgressions as much as lay in
his Power, he was willing to assist in any investiga-
uun, and to make a full confession of all he knew of
the affair. Was not this a sufficient motive for the
~'Commissioners -to abide by the letter of the Act of
Parliament which had appointed them ? Had they
entered into the particulars of the case, they would
have found that Smith had long been acquainted with
.‘apallo, a
through an uncle of Rapallo's, who, al-
though foreigner, had long held a confidential office
in the Treasury, and who was so dissatisfied with his
nephew, that, at his death, he did not leave him a
farthing I They would have discovered a parcel of
Knights, Baronets, and Lords, by courtesy, in con-
nexion with Solari, at the beginning of those trans-
actions. They would have had in evidence, that an
nnwarrantable use had been made of the name of a
Noble Duke, arid of that of a Noble Earl no* 110
More • and that the scheme had been so artfully con-
cocted between Solari and a countryman of his, who
successively held a responsible situation in the service
of the two exalted personages, that Smith might have
been deceived at first ; and all that would have led to
the discovery, and probably to the recovery, of some
part of the property acquired by means of the spur--
, 'ous bills.
" 13y not investigating that part of the case, the
1-44mmissioners have added to the strength of the sus-
picions so long entertained. It is openly said, that
they confined themselves within such narrow limits,
for the sole purpose of screening
.the influential par-
!les alluded to by Smith. I again protest that such
is not my opinion, and that I believe them to be
wholly incapable of acting in such a manner; but
they have singularly erred in their judgment, and such
is the result of their error."
The writer seems to know a good deal of the
Individuals connected with Solari, of some of
whom he speaks thus :
" William Morgan, in his examination says, that
(I,e bad been introduced to Solari by a Mr. Green,
his friend, in 1836 ; that he knew nothing of his ap•
paa herent circumstances, property, and manner of living ;
t
knew Rapallo only on his being introduced to
bY Solari as his agent; that he never knew the

yet he had never

Mariner states, that` he was introduced to Solari
by a Mr. Charles M.
; that his transactions bankrupt who soon after became a
1838 ; but that, anactions with hint began in

that, notwithstanding the charaecte'rasannod eaxmtentrofanhis
operations he never had any suspicions, even when
501. were expended forthe recovery of one of the bills
which had been exchanged for another.'
x roneis de Berkem was introduced to Solari by
Mariner

never
. went to obtain information about them, although
theirloan transactions, with him only, amounted to
851,00
0/. sterling yearly. And, although he was
astonished at the character of their dealings, and con-
stantly said, Why do not the parties sell the Ex-
chequer bills ? he never suspected anything wrong;
ai_o t even at the time he had such a vast deal of trouble
tracing and recovering the bill which had been ex-
changed. He, He, as well as Marimer, ..vas told, and
Ine3:_said to others, that they were acting for parties
• Madrid, Paris, and London ; for a club in the
west-end ; for Louis Napoleon, and for M. Thiers ;
and, in spite of the contradiction between these state-
ments, they never had a doubt, they never inquired
into the facts, and they went on circulating the bills
to an incredible amount.'
" Although this has been sworn to by the parties
themselves, I do not believe that they have spoken the
truth, the whole truth, on the subject of their ac-
quaintance with Solari, and their knowledge of his
ci•
rcumstances and of his previous transactions : and,
had the investigation been conducted by men of busi-
ness, acquainted with the statistics and dealings of the
Stock Exchange, and by a professional gentleman,
,like Mr. Erle, for example, a great deal more would
nave been extracted. Valens nolens, the witnesses
Would have deposed to the following facts.
c` Solari had been a vitriol manufacturer at Batter-
sea, and, as recorded in the Gazettes of the time, was
a bankrupt in 1822, when he attempted to rob his
creditors by fraudulently disposing of his property.
Ike afterwards went into some other business at
Bpsom, and failed again ; then he was, during seven
Years, an inmate, successively, of all the prisons for
debt in London ; and, when released by his creditors,
who had nothing to expect from him, remained, till
the latter part of 1835, in such a state of distress,
that he had scarcely a bed for himself and his family,
and was very often in want of bread. In. 1836,
however, we find him a Director of many Companies,
-and entering into extraordinary transactions with
Messrs. Price and Co., Ransom and Co., Morgan,
&c., gtc.
"Had the witnesses objected that they were ignorant
of these circumstances, the Commissioners would have
answered, "That is impassible : everybody knew it.'
In 1838, the sharehol lers of the Brighton Railway
(without a tunnel), instituted judicial proceedings
against their managing Directors, Sir John Claridge,
Solari, and other:, in order, to compel them to render
their accounts, and pay them their balances. At the
same time, an engineer of the Company was likewise
obliged to sue them for the payment of his salary;
and, during these litigations, the character, the pre-
vious transactions and circumstances of Solari, were
publicly exposed. In the Stock Exchange, and out of it,
everybody
was apprised of all that I have stated ; it
was the subject of general conversation. The name
' of Rapallo was mixed up in these public accusations,
r 0,.; and no man of respectability would condescend to
ki f have anything to do with either of them. It was even
iLIf,, reported, that it was during a warm explanation with
n tiltr a gentleman who had been betrayed into connexion
him, that.Solari had the first attack of his last
illness, falling senseless in the room."

first race this afternoon was fixed for half-past
twelve -- rather earlier than usual on the first day
of a Meeting, but not too early to interrupt
the customary routine. The exercise ground

PRICE OF BUTCHER'S MEAT.—Beef from Ham-
burgh was exposed for sale in our market on Satur-
day. It was very fine, and attracted general atten-
tion. Choice cuts of foreign as well as of domestic
beef were eightpence per pound, or, with boiling
pieces, sevenpence ; so that, as far as fresh meat is
concerned, prices have not, through the operation of
the tariff, declined materially in the Liverpool market.
