The itc;ires..7Of manufactures in Europe is well in-
stanced, in a lecture delivered at Paris, by M. Blanquis,
the traveller. "In Russia," said he, " I found exactly
the contrary of what I expected to find, viz., immense
manufactures scattered on all points. In the heart of
Turkey I found an old Paella, an ancient chief of Janis-
saries, who had hung up his terrible yataghan against
the wall, devote himself to commerce and arts."

901., with intent to defraud Messrs. Child and Co., ban-
kers, of Temple-bar. Ample evidence was given that
the prisoner presented a forged cheque, but he said he
was merely the agent of a Mr. Holland, who lived at
Green's Hotel, Lincoln's Inn, and he knew nothinu what-
ever of the forgery. The
_Magistrate said the prisoner's
statement bore all the appearance of truth, but under
all the circumstances, he would remand him till Satur-
day. A question then was started as to the place of con-
finement, for though the entrance to Child's bank is

house in the City.
