Yesterday Count Sacchi, an Italian Nobleman,
was charged with having assaulted and seduced a
young female, named Jane Smith, under aggravated
circumstances. The complainant, an innocent-look-
ing girl, not more thon seventeen years of age,
stated, that during four months she lived opposite
to the defendant's lodgings, in Princes-street, Lei-
cester-square, when an acquaintance arose between
them, and he professed the most unbounded attach-
ment for her. He at length persuaded her to leave
her situation, and accede to his wishes, by declaring
that he was in treaty for a house in Regent-street,
in which he would establish her, ;and they would
afterwards travel to his estates in Italy. She unfor-
tunately believed his professions, as he solemnly pro-
tested he would never forsake her. Instead of act-
ing as he had described, she had only received ss.
from him during the last three weeks. On Tuesday
evening she saw him drinking wine in a confectioner's
shop in the Quadrant, after he had quitted some
females, and on his coming out, she went up to him,
and reproached him with his dishonourable conduct
in deserting her. He then became very violent, and
struck her a violent blow on her breast, with a large
stick, which caused a considerable bruise, and he
also beat her severely over the bands and arms, and
threatened to send her to the watch-house.

The Count, who is a young man, in imperfect
English, declared that the complainant's story was
false. She came up to him in the street, and
threatened to expose him unless he gave her five
shillings. lie had formerly lived with a foreign
lady, who was now on the Continent, ht having

procured her a situation, and it was for a similar
engagement the complainant applied to him.
Mr. CONANT-Am I to understand then that you
deny seducing her P—The Count intimated that he
had pot ruined the unhappy young girl.
Complainant (weeping)—How can he assert
such a falsehood, when I can point out the house,
near Charing-cross, where he took me five times.
Upon the first occasion, observing I was low spirited,
he took my hand and begged I would place every
reliance upon his honour.
The Count said he considered the girl had not
the slightest claim upon him.
Mr. CONANT ordered the Count to find good
bail, as it was an assault of a most brutal descrip-
tion ; but the matter was ultimately settled, by the
Count and his friends making the complainant a
pecuniary recompense.

ATTEMPTED FORGERY AT THE BANK

OF ENGLAND.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

It will be recollected that about three weeks

since a forgery was committed at the Bank of

England on the transfer of stock, and that not-
withstanding the greatest exertions were made to
discover the party who had been guilty of this
serious offence, the offender remained at large.
Yesterday, however, the individual for whom

the search had been going on, was arrested under
extraordinary circumstances, the offender having
had the effrontery to attempt to commit a second
forgery at the Consol-office. The particulars of
the capture of the individual in question that
have come to our knowledge are these :
The individual, whose name is Gifford, ap-
plied yesterday to Mr. Burgess, a broker,. to
transfer 3001. 3 per Cent. Consolidated Annui-
ties. The same was effected accordingly, and the
broker and the offender proceeded to the Consol
Transfer-office in order that the latter might sign
the Bank books.

The forgery committed a short time since,.
consequence of which the brokers, Messrs. Lin-
ton and Co., had to make good the stock fraudu-
lently sold out, has had the effect of rendering
the stock-brokers more than usually cautious not

to identify parties at the Bank, unless they
either have had some previous knowledge of
them, or can refer to other brokers who might be
able to identify them. Mr. Burgess yesterday,
before he went to make the transfer, asked the
offender if he could get any one to speak to his
identity, and his being the owner of the stock he
was anxious to transfer. The offender imme-
diately replied that Mr. Linton could speak to
his identity. Mr. Linton was applied to, and
immediately recognized Mr. Gifford as the per-
son for whom he had sold stock a few weeks
since. Mr. Gifford was immediately taken into
custody, and information of the circumstance
sent to Mr. Dawes, the chief officer of the Bank
of England. The prisoner was soon afterwards
taken before one or two of the Directors, Mr.
Dawes, and other gentlemen connected with the
Bank of England. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor
to the Bank, was sent for, and the prisoner was
under examination for a considerable length of
time. Of course none of the particulars of this
examination were allowed to transpire, as the
ends of justice might be defeated by their pub-
lication.

It was a subject of much surprise, how the
prisoner could have referred to Mr. Linton as a
party to whom he (the prisoner) was known, as
in the event of Mr. Linton seeing him detection
was certain. The prisoner however, it appears,
imagined, that owing to the great bustle come,
quest on the transfer of stocks on a settling day
in Consols, Mr. Burgess would have been per-
_ _ _ _

fectly satis6cdirp
.the reference to Mr. Linion,
without troubling that broker to come from his
business to identify him. In this, however, the
prisoner was mistaken. At the time when the
prisoner was arrestsd, about half-past two o'clock,
the Consol Office was exceedingly crowded, and
the capture of the offender created a strong sen-
sation.

It was a subject of some conversation how:the
prisoner could have become acquainted with the
names of the parties whose stock he has thus at-
tempted to sell out, as well as the name of the

individual whose name he forged a short time
ago. It, however, turns out that the prisoner
was some time since a clerk in the London An-
nuity Office, and it is supposed had some insight
into the stock transactions of that Association,

by which he became acquainted with the names
of parties holding stock, and the amount they
had in the Bank of England.
After having undergone the examination in

the Bank parlour, the prisoner was handed over
to Marten, the city-officer, who conveyed him
to the Compter. The prisoner was asked whe-
ther any solicitor should be applied to to under-
take his case, but he replied, shaking his head,
"Itisof no use." On being asked where his
residence was, the prisoner said he would rather
he excused from answering that question.
It is understood that the Bank are determined
to let the law take its course. The Governor of

the Bank of England has by Act of Parliament,
power to dispose of persons committing forgeries
on the establishment. Should it, therefore, be

deemed advisable in order to further the ends of
justice, and, if possible, to ascertain whether the
prisoner has any colleagues in crime, no public
examination of the prisoner may take place for
some days.

The prisoner is a short stout man, apparently
about 28 years of age, and was dressed respectably
in black.

Rumours were current yesterday evening of
the discovery of other forgeries, but although
strict investigations have been going forward, it
does not appear that any other offences have
been committed by the prisoner. The unfortu-
nate individual did not appear to be deeply
affected by the very perilous situation he has
placed himself in.

Martin, the officer, has obtained a clue to the
prisoner's residence, and last night proceeded to
Westminster, in order, if possible, to gain infor-
mation relative to the connections and habits of
the prisoner.

The above details were collected from the best
possible sources, and will be found in the main

correct.

months. I received orders from Mrs. Deane to

ing Tuesday Mrs. Deane removed from the house
and went to Tottenham. Before she left, I went to

for by Mrs. Thomas. This was tivo or three days

Thomas desired the defendant to go down on his
