SINGULAR CASE at BIRMINGHAM.
BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY, Six, P.M.—This morning
the Magistrates were engaged for a considerable
length of time in the investigation of a singular
charge. It appears, that for some days past a fo-
reigner, who represents himself as the Archbishop of
Tripoli, has been on a visit to Birmingham. In the
daytime he has partaken of the hospitalities of the
Rev. Josiah Allport, and at night he I:as slept at
Beech's Railway Hotel, or at the Liverpool station.
As he came very highly recommended, and brought
with him alleged credentials of his authenticity from
the highest authorities in the Church; the Rev. J.
Allport took the greatest interest in this foreign Pre-
late, and ‘l,'ls instrumental in obtaining several dona-
tions for him towards the purposes which are fully de-
tailed in the following copy of the Archbishop's
circular : _ _ .

" In consequence of the sufferings of the Christian
Church in Syria. the Archbishop of Tripoli, whose
province includes Mount Lebanon, has visited and is
now in England. In 1840 five small towns near
Mount Lebanon, besides many villages, were con-
sumed by fire, and Tripoli, Beyrout, and other ma-
ritime towns sutlered severely. In 1841 a civil war
broke out, and raged between the Druses and the
Maronites, in which the Christians were greatly
oppressed. Upwards of twenty-five towns and 125
churches were destroyed. The Archbishop's resi-
dence having been destroyed by the former cala-
mity, and the people being too much impoverished
to help him, he solicits assistance from British Chris-
tians ; but is at the same time more especially solicitous
to raise a fund for providing means of extending
education on true scriptural principles throughout his
whole diocese. About 2001. is still wanting to enable
him to return and commence preliminary measures,
whilst he will leave a young Syrian, who has accom-
panied him, under the care of the Rev. Joseph Bay-
lee, of Birkenhead, near Liverpool, to be educated for
carrying out his subsequent objects. These include
the effecting a new translation of the Scriptures into
Arabic, with elementary books on religion, and school
books on general subjects ; and on the young man's
return to Syria, duly qualified, the Archbishop pur-
poses (D.V.) to ordain him for the ministry. These
proposals have been most kindly entertained by
the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of
London ; the latter, in transmitting the sum of
501. from himself and the Archbishop of Canterbury,
observes in the note accompanying the donation,
' We hope your Eminence will receive it in testimony
of the good-will we entertain for the Levant Church.'
Several clergymen of distinction in London, Liver-
pool, Bristol, Brighton, and other places have warmly
patronised the Archbishop's objects ; and he hopes
to meet with the generous consideration of Christians
in Birmingham. Any donation in aid of his plans
may be paid into Messrs. Taylor and Lloyds' bank,
and the Rev. J. Allport has engaged to see to the due
transmission of any sum to the Archbishop." Then
follows a list of benefactions :—" Rev. J. Garbett, 1/.;
Rev. R. R. Mendham, 1/.; Rev. J. Allport, 1/.;
James Taylor, Esq., 11.; Rev. Thomas 'Moseley, 31.;
a Friend, 1/. ; Mons. J. O'Flannagan, 10s. ; Rev. J.
A. James, U.; Rev. J. 0. Oldham, 1/. ; Mr. R.
G. Reeves, 1/. ; Rev. E. Kempson, 1/. ; Mr. H. H.
Cracklow, 1/."
Yesterday, while the Archbishop was endeavouring
to excite the generous feelings of the inhabitants of
Dudley and Wolverhampton, information was brought
to the Rev. J. Allport by several parties, to the effect
that he was harbouring and recommending an im-
postor. Upon hearing this, the Rev. Gentleman in-
stituted further inquiries, and having enlisted the ser-
vices of Mr. Inspector Hall, he became suspicious of
his protege. On going to the Railway Hotel, he as-
certained that the Archbishop had never had any lug-
gage there, and that he had ceased to occupy his bed-
room ; and on following him to the Liverpool station
they met with the young Syrian who attends him on
his travels, and is the same referred to in the above
circular.
The account which the Archbishop gave of himself
was not satisfactory to Mr. Allport or the Inspector,
and accordingly both the prelate and his disciple
were taken into custody by Inspector Hall, who also
seized their luggage.
This morning the two foreigners were brought up
for private examination before Drs. Booth and Mel-
son, and C. Shaw, Esq. There were also in the room
the Rev. J. Garbett, Rev. J. Allport, and Mr. Samuel
Allport. Evidence was adduced to show that the
prisoners had given most contradictory accounts of
themselves ; but, on examining the passports, creden-
tials, and other documents in their possession, the
Magistrates were by no means satisfied that the
Archbishop was an impostor, and accordingly dis-
missed both him and his associate.

EXAMINATION of the CHARTIST
PRISONERS.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY MOEN IN G.—This morning
the following prisoners were brought up for examina-
tion at the New Bailey :—The Rev. James Schofield,
William Schofield (his son), James Leach, Robert
Ramsden, Thomas Railton, Christopher Doyle, John
Massey, Bernard M'Cartney, the Rev. W. Hill (editor
of the Northern Star), George Julian Harney, Wil-
liam Fletcher, John Campbell, James Arthur, Richard
Hockley, John Thornton, John Norman, Robert
Brooke, T. B. Smith, John Allinson, and Samuel
Parkes, on a charge of a general conspiracy and inti-
midation. _

Considerable anxiety appeared to exist, great num-
bers of persons having assembled outside the Court
and also within the building, to ascertain the precise
character of the charge against the prisoners, which it
was understood would be fully detailed this day by
the agents for the prosecution.
Mr. J. F. FOSTER, the Chairman of the Quarter
Sessions, having taken his seat on the bench a few
minutes after ten o'clock, the proceedings commenced.
Mr. Gregory and Mr. Paite were in Court on be-
half of the Government ; and Mr. Robert Brandt,
barrister, appeared in support of the charges against
the prisoners.
Mr. Cobbett was retained on the part of the Rev.
James Schofield and his son, Leach, Ramsden, Doyle,
Massey, the Rev. W. Hill, Harney, Fletcher, Camp-
bell, Hockley, Thornton, Nerman, Brooke, Allinson,
and Parkes. Railton, Aartney, Arthur, and T. 13.
Smith, said they would defend themselves.
Mr. BRANDT opened the case by stating at consi-
derable length the nature of the present proceedings,
detailing, as he went on, the nature of the insurrec-
tionary movements which had led to the recent dis-
turbances, and connecting, by ingenuity and argu-
ment, the prisoners either as taking an active part in
the illegal proceedings which had led to the appre-
hension of the prisoners, including Mr. Feargus
O'Connor and Mr. M'Douall. The Learned Gen-
tleman was quoting a number of the Chartist placards,
documents, and publications when our dispatch left.

THE LEVANT MAIL.
MALTA.
Our letters from Malta are up to the 23d inst. The
principal topic of conversation there was the second
Court-martial on Lieutenant Place. He was fully
acquitted of the foul charies which had been trumped
up against him, and Sir I rancis Mason, in returning
him his sword, assured him, in the name of every indi-
vidual member of the Court, that he was left without
the slightest stain on his character.
On returning to his own ship, the Queen, the Gal-
lant Commander-in-Chief (Sir E. W. C. R. Owen)
received Lieut. Place on the poop—where all the offi-
cers of the ship had been previously summoned—and
after shaking him cordially by the hand, and making
an appropriate speech, presented him with his com-
mission to the flag-ship, on board of which he had
heretofore been a mere supernumerary or additional
Lieutenant, a mode of proceeding which fully makes
known to the public in general the restoration of
Lieutenant Place to that position in the service, from
which, with such poignant feelings of regret to him.-
self and his friends, he has been necessarily suspended
pending the late proceedings, which have occupied a
fortnight.
Sir E. W. Owen, in promulgating a general order
on this subject, concludes in the following words :
" I congratulate the fleet on the discovery and expo-
sure of this nefarious conspiracy. The breasts of
those whoy for malicious purposes, could conceive and
support on oath a project so calculated in its conse-
quences to degrade and vilify their object, and against
which, when supported by false testimony no man can
be secure, must be indeed most infamous and diaboli-
cal, devoid alike of every feeling which can be calcu-
lated to teach reliance on the mercy of their God, or
their duties to society. Those who have so acted in
this instance must be cast out from amongst us, and
their future disposal must be a subject for future con-
sideration."

MOVEMENTS SINCE SEPTEMBER 15.—The Poly-
phemus took her departure for Gibraltar with the in-
termediate mail for England on the 19th inst. Vice-
Admiral Sir E. W. C. It. Owen, the Commander-in-
Chief in the Mediterranean, in the Queen, with the
Howe, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir F.
Mason, teicond in command, Impregnable, Rodney,
Monarch, and Indus, ships of the line, Scout, cor-
vette, war steamers Devastation and Geyser, and
steam tender Locust, put to sea early yesterday
morning, and remained in the offing until sunset,
awaiting the return of the Devastation and Geyser
war steamers, which were sent to make a trial of
their speed round the island. They steered away for
the westward about noon, and passing through the
channel between Gozo and Cumino, ran round the
island, making their appearance from the south-east,
former at four, the latter about an hour after, giving
the former the superiority over, the latter of some 12
miles or more, in a race of 45 miles, done by the for-
mer in four hours ! Both vessels then stood away
with the fleet, but it is generally rumoured the Gey-
ser will be despatched to the lonian islands to over-
haul the number 4 boats purporting to be under
lonian flags which have no authorised papers, and of
which she will, of course make lawful prize. The
fleet intend, it is supposed, to cruise until the 26th bs
tween Malta and Sicily, and then the Admiral will
stand in and anchor or not, as the accounts from Alex-
andria may warrant. The Cambridge from the Le-
vant, and the. Thunderer from Gibraltar, are ordered
to England, with the Vesuvius and Phcenix war
steamers • arring a
mail. M the latter leaves to-morrow, c
r. Hoare, mate of the Queen,
will take pas-
sage in her. Lieutenant Rattray, additional of the
Queen, has been appointed to the Monarch ; Mr.
Wilson, mate of the Queen, as acting Lieutenant of
he Scout.

SYRIA.
BETROUT, SEPT. 3.—From the many reports in
circulation on the arrival of the French squadron, one
conclusion was apparent, viz., that the whole country,
both highland and lowland, would hail any change
of Government that promised them relief with the
greatest enthusiasm. The inhabitants are greatly dis-
satisfied with the Government. No open acts of hos-
tility have yet occurred, but the mountainous districts
are slumbering like a volcano, that will break out
with greater violence after a short cessation from
eruptions. Omer Pacha is feared, but not liked, by
either Druse or Maronite, and this dispute between
the great Powers and the Sultan respecting the placing
an Emir of the house of Shehab as Governor of the
Lebanon in the stead of Omer Pacha, is looked upon
as a circumstance that will eventually cause a renewal
of disturbances in the mountains.

AMATEUR PRIZE FIGHT.—An amateur prize tip.
took place yesterday in the marshes opposite Graves-
end, the parties being Mr. Burke of trotting notoriety,
and a Mr. Chileott. Some words having occurred
between the parties a short time since, the result was
a challenge to a pugilistic encounter, which was ac-
cepted, and a match for 1001. a side was made, and
yesterday was named as the day for settling their dif-
ferences. Accordingly, at an early hour the parties,
with their respective friends, proceeded per steamer to
Gravesend, whence they crossed the river, and after
some delay succeeded in forming a roped arena in the
marshes for the display of their prowess. Mr. Chil-
cott was considerably heavier and taller than his op-
ponent. After fighting 110 rounds, occupying two
was obliged to cry
" enough," and was conveyed from the ground appa-
rently much mortified a t s

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS;
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
Yaost THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 9 per
milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
104 d. per ounce for standard' gold, gives an ex-
change of 25 38, and the exchange at Paris on Lon-
don at short being 25 60, it follows that gold is
0.88 per cent. dearer in London than, in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is
431 per mark, which at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives air
exchange of 13 8, and the exchange at Hamburgh on
London: at short being 13 94, it fellows that gold is
0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London
is 1074 per cent., and the par of exchange between
England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it
follows that the exchange is 1.83 per cent. against
England ; but the quoted exchange at New -York
being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must
be deducted from the above difference.
POST.—At the Stock Exchange, there is still an
almost total absence of activity. Indeed, at this place
ofbusiness, so greatly diminished as it is, the propo-
sition for a reduction of the hours devoted to it may
easily be complied with. It is understood that the
private bankers generally have signed an agreement

o'clock o'clock in the afternoon, so that the duties of the
clearing-house will have to be. got through at the
corresponding early hour of three o'clock. It will be
necessary, moreover, that the Stock Exchange should
close its doors at that time of the day, and, the ar-
rangements of the private bankers being completed
upon the plan proposed, there seems to be no alterna-
tive for that establishment but to acquiesce in the
measure. The banking and stock jobbing transac-
tions of Par's and other great Continental cities oc-
cupy much less time than they have heretofore done
in London, and although there is no reason why the
latter should, as a general principle, look to its infe-
riors in importance for an example in matters of com-
mercial discipline, there would appear to be in all
cases more than is needed for the dispatch the 1
,mate and actual business. The dealings at the S
;Exchange here conducted as they are upon the li-
mited scale indicated, may be got through an hour or
two earlier each day than they are at present just as
well as not. To remain in attendance from ten
o'clock till four, as is now the practice, must be irk-
some to the jobbers and brokers, and gambling or
unprofitable speculation is often resorted to as a means
of whiling away the time. The proposed change
seems to meet the wishes of many parties engaged in

mercantile affairs.
CHRONICLE.—The special mission of Mr. Ellis
to Brazil is exciting interest in the City, but the real
purpose of his embassy does not appear to be dis-
tinctly understood. We believe it to be of a very
important nature :—first, to adjust the term of expiry
of the existing commercial treaty with this country ;
and, secondly, to negotiate for a renewal on favourable
terms. The slave question and the marriage of the
Emperor and his sister being accessories.
The point at issue regarding the continuance of
the existing treaty is one of much consequence to
British merchants. Both Governments being agreed
as to its first and specific endurance of fifteen years,
from November, 1827, that is, until November,
1842 ; but a difference has arisen in consequence of
an ambiguity of expression respecting its absolute
endurance, it being provided that the treaty shall
continue for a :further term cn two years' previous
notice from either party, The Brazilian Government
gave notice two years back that they held the treaty
at an end in November, 1842, whereas the British
Government maintain that this notice can only take
effect from November next ; thus preserving the sub-
sistence of the present tariff on both sides until No-
vember, 1844. The Brazilian Congress, however,
has given authority to their Minister of Finance to
levy new duties on British imports, from and after
November, 1842 ; and one main object of the special
mission to Rio is, without doubt, to prevent the Bra-
zilian Government from putting that authority in force.
It is surmised that Mr. Ellis will propose
a compromise, continuing the present tariff until
November, 1843, in order to give Sir Robert Peel
time to bring round the refractories in his camp to
the admission of Brazilian produce at lower rates ;
and as a sop, to let them down easy, something may
be introduced about the slave-trade. The Brazilian
Government, we believe, have intimated plainly that
they will not renew the present treaty with England,
unless concessions are made to them, lowering the
import duties now levied on their sugars.

The Chili= Government are about to convert the
arrears of interest upon their bonds into a stock
bearing 3 per cent. interest, and for some of this latter
25 has been offered and refused. One part of the
plan is to issue new bonds in lieu of those from which
the coupons will have been detached, a course highly
to be deprecated, inasmuch as it is not of the slightest
utility, while it affords the greatest facility for fraud.
There can be nothing more easy than to cOnvert
coupons, which should have been destroyed, into
stock, and manufacture a few thousand extra bonds,
and send both into the market, thus raising a new
loan without publicity. Spain did this some years
back, and doubtless intended it in the present year,
had it not been for the vigilance of the press. It may
be mentioned that Senor Calatrava is stated to be
anxious to come to some arrangement in regard to the
Treasury Bonds. The condition to which the finames
of that cauntry are reduced, may be inferred from the
fact, that all those patient and ill-used creditors re-
quire to settle their claims is as nearly as possible
5,0001. each half year, and yet even this small sum has
never yet been remitted, although the payments of
one-half the principal, and a portion of the interest,
were, by an Ambassadorial notice, advertised in 1837,
to be paid off according to contract.

Mr. lliggs held an inquest yestet,day in the General
Penitentiary, Milbank, on the body .of John Walker,
aged 08, a prisoner. It appeared ie evidence that
the deceased was admitted to the gaol en the 17th of
March, 1840, having been convicted on the Ist of
ejnne in the same year, at the linutsfora Sessions,
or Lirceny, and sentenced to seven years' trk nsporta-
That sentence was subsequently commuted to
isonnient in the Penitentiary, which would zxpire
of December, 1842. On the 27th oF :lune
last the deceased was admitted into the infirinaM
suffering from dysentery and general debility. He
was supplied with the most nourishing food, but he
never rallied, and died on September 30. A pop,
mortem examination proved the cause of death tot be
ulceration and scrofulous disease of the lune
