SEYSSELL ASPHALTE COMPANY,
" CLARIDGE'S PATENT," Established 1838.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
The composition with which the footway in Whitehall, in
face of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch's, and that at Rich-
mond-terrace, which is now being laid down, being called
Bitumen (another name for Asphalte), a general impression
prevails that the abuve-named work is made of Seyssel As-
phalte. This, however, is not the case, the composition being
different in very many respects from the Seyssel Asphalte. It
is needless to point out more than one distinguishable quality,
namely, thit the Seyssel Asphalte emits no disagreeable smell;
whereas the composition now being used in Whitehall sends
forth a most nauseous and horrible effluvium. The fears of
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, as well as of those pass-
ing through this great thoroughfare, that their vital action may
be suspended by the effects of this coinpositon, have induced
the Seyssel Asphalte Company thus publicly to repudiate any
connexion with it.

Architects, Builders, and Others.—For the purpose of se-
curing the use of the genuine articles Architects and others are
particularly requested to insert in their specifications " The
Seyssel Asphalte, Claridge's Patent," and not merely " As-
phalte," or " Bitumen," as in many cases where these terms
have been used, gas tar and other worthless and offensive
compositions, have been introduced.

to the Editor of the " Times:"—
" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met w'th a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From_ the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and ademato, back,us,a and to thendlsuffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ands to the leg, thigh
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Listen—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Fearer, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to 14Ir. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude te 'him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.

" TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.
" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P. S. At the various consultations held upan nay case, the
surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spurns would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H."

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOT-

LAND.

PROGRESS OF THE ROYAL SQUADRON.
Of the thousands who on Monday sailed from the
eastern coast to witness the passage of England's
Queen through her native seas, Ipswich contributed
her full share. The Orwell left this port with some
NO passengers on board, provided with two pieces of
cannon to salute her Majesty, and with all the flags
and ensigns necessary to testify that respect to which
the Queen is 'so justly entitled. It was expected
that the Orwell would meet the Royal squadron in
the river.

We have been obligingly furnished with the follow-
ing detail of the voyage of the Orion.
We are happy in having the opportunity of being
the first journal to report the auspicious progress of

ject was to greet their beloved Sovereign.
The sun broke out in all his
splendour, and the sea'
—Calm as an inland lake—gave the party the op r-
tunity of descrying the smoke of the steamers, which
even
the the van of the Royal squadron, long before
the lofty topmasts of the Royal George
were
the horizon. At length an experienced y
eY ediscovered above
the Royal standard of England proudly floating 1
in the air, and soon a crowd of vessels became visible
at the distance of about 15 miles.
The, Orion came up nearly abreast the h eadmost of
the two steamers which •
were towing the yacht near
the Whitaker Buoy, and then put about and lay to
for the squadron to pass her. Her Majesty and the
Prince were first seen at the cabin windows in the
larboard quarter, and the splendid band of the 13th'
Light Dragoons, under Herr Frisch, struck up
"God save .the Queen," in their well-known admira•
-
ble style.' Her Majesty and the Prince then came
upon deck, on vs hich three hearty English cheers from
the passengers and crew of the Orion, in which the
ladies most rapturously joined, were given. The
Orion accompanied the yacht for some time on her
.larboard quarter—the Queen and Prince being all the
time on deck—and then fell astern and came up on
the starboard side of the yacht, the band playing
" Rule Britannia." The company again saluted her
Majesty with three hearty cheers, and her Majesty
and the Prince most graciously acknowledged them
by repeated bows, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence and
all the other officers standing, uncovered on deck.
On entering the East Swin Channel, the sailing-
master unfolded a chart of the coast before her Ma-
jesty, who appeared attentively engaged in exa-
mining it.
The superior speed of the Orion seemed to attract
the attention of the numerous naval officers, who
watched her with much attention ; and, covered
as she was with flags and signals, and her decks
thronged with elegantly-dressed ladies, she appeared
well fitted to offer a welcome to the Queen of the Isles.
After holding her way at about half speed on the
starboard quarter of the yacht, as she passed along the
outer side of the Gunfleet Sand, the party again give
three hearty cheers, and she dropped astern of the
squadron, put about, and returned to Harwich har-
bour, all the party having passed a day of unmixed
gratification, and being especially gratified at the
gracious acknowledgments repeatedly made them by
her Majesty and her illustrious consort. The admi-
rable management of Captain Swafier was much
noticed by them.
THE " RIVER QUEEN."—This vessel, which also
sailed from this port laden with loyal subjects of her
Majesty, fell in with the Queen about four o'clock,
and kept alongside the Royal squadron for twenty
minutes. The company were delighted. Too much
praise cannot be given to Captain London for his
judgment in conducting• the vessel, and his attention
to the comfort and gratification of all on board.:—

The rooms of the principal hotels in town are all
taken during her Alajesty's stay. The Lord Registrar
of Scotland arrived yesterday at Douglas's Hotel, and
various important personages are daily, nay, almost
hourly, expected. Mr. M'Dougall, the enterprising
landlord of the Granton Hotel, has let all his windows
at high sums, and the two last were let at 71. 10s.
each ; the party who took the same remarking that he
would have given 201. for the two rather than have
been disappointed.
We have just learned that as soon as the Royal
squadron appears at the entrance of the,Firth, a large
red flag will be hoisted at the summit of North Ber-
wick Law, and which may be seen, should the weather
be clear at a considerable distance, so that there will
be no difficulty in telegraphing the announcement to
the city. As we mentioned in our last, the greatest
activity prevails in the erection of scaffolding, and in
the preparation of illumination devices. Tailors,
bootmakers, hatters, mantuamakers, milliners, and in-
deed all connected with fashionable apparel, are in
full employment ; in short, this day and to-morrow
will be two busy days.
Almost the whole line of road which her Majesty
and her Royal Consort are to take in entering and on
her progress through thi, city, from Granton to Holy-
rood-house, as may be observed by our advertising
columns, is to be studded with balconies and scaffold-
ing erected for the purpose of obtaining a comfortable
view of the Royal procession. This, with the win-
dows and eminences on the road, will afford " ample
space and verge enough" for the gratification of the
inhabitants of " our own romantic town," as well as
the vast influx of strangers who will doubtless con-
gregate here to witness for the second time these two
centuries back the entry of their Sovereign into the
metropolis of the ancient kingdom of Scotland.
Amongst the most judicious of these arrangements,
and one that must produce a beautiful and pleasant
coup, d cell, will be the assemblage of the youths at-
tending the High School, who are to be accommodated
, in front of that building, one of the many splendid
edifiCes that adorn the city. The Auxiliary Commit-
tee for building the Scott Monument are also to erect
a gallery in front of that site, the proceeds of which,
we have no doubt, will more than compensate any,
loss which might accrue from the clearing away of
their buildinps-sheds &c., during the Royal proces-
_sion. It will- be observed that the new Granton-road
is to be -shut up on Wednesday for carriages, &c., till
after the Rpyal procession, but ample accommodation
for them will be found within the fields on each side,
which are effectually protected from the crowd. by
stone fences. This position is certainly one of the
finest on the line for obtaining a view of the Royal
cortege.
The following memorandum for the members of
Council has been printed, in regard to the arrange-
ments on the day of arrival:—
." 1. In all likelihood her Majesty's arrival at the
mouth of the Frith of the Forth will be announced
by a signal from Nelson's Monument, and the firing
of one gun from the Castle.
" 2. One hour thereafter the carriages will call at
the houses of the several Councillors, who will hold
themselves in readiness to take their places, and pro-
ceed to the Council-chamber. In this way; it is ex-
pected that the whole Council will be assembled,
within two hours from the giving of the signal.
" 3. Each gentleman will be dressed in the follow-
ing manner :—White stock and white kid gloves;
single-breasted black coat, with bag annexed; lace-
ruffles at the breast and hands—no shirt collar to be
seen ; single-breasted black cloth waistcoat, with lap-
pets ,
• black breeches, with white buckles ; black
silk stockings.; shoes and white buckles ; a cocked hat.
" Note.—Gentlemen who may contemplate attend-
ing the Levee will require to provide themselves with
swords for that occasion. None are necessary when
the Council present the keys and attend with the
address.

" 4. Having assembled in the Council-chamber and
robed, the Council will- proceed in their carriages to
the barrier at Henderson-row in the prescribed
order :

"Carriage. and pair will contain Councillors Thom-
son, Maitland, T 5 r.Macnulay, Hunter.

" 6. Having set down the Council at the Academy,
the carriages will proceed to the east end of Hender-
son-row, and take up their position along the side of
the pavement in the same order as that in which they
left the Council-chamber, the horses' heads towards
the.east.
" 7. The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council

" City Chambers, Edinburgh, Aug. 27, 1842.
" P.S. The Commander of the Forces has consented
to the signal gun from the Castle. The kind of signal
from the Monument has not yet been arranged."
During the greater part of yesterday and last night
the city and suburbs were enveloped in a dense fog,
arising from a change of wind to the north- east, so
dense; indeed, that even from the North-bridge, in
the evening, the Calton-hill could not be seen. Should
there be a continuance of such weather it has been
suggested that, as the effect of the bonfires on Arthur's
Seat and other heights would be utterly lost, the
lighting of these should be postponed to the follow-
ing (or to the first clear) evening. It is to be hoped,
however, that no such untoward event will occur to
abridge the general joy upon this auspicious occasion.

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

We regret that the health of the venerable Primate
has not improved since Monday ; the accounts from
Addington Park yesterday state that bis Grace
continues much the same.
The inquiries at Lambeth Palace were more numer-
ous yesterday than heretofore; the messengers
from the members of the Royal Family were early in
attendance. A bulletin, of which the following is a
copy, was exhibited yesterday :
His Grace the Archbishop has passed a tranquil
night, and continues much in the same state as yes-
terday.

(Continued from The Sun of Wednesday.)
CASE XXV.

Nos. 8,285-8,299, 8,464-8,469 (21 Bills.)

Claimants.—Messrs. Ransom and Co.
Series of Holders.—Messrs. Ransom and Co., E.
Rapallo.
Mcssis. Ransom and Co., bankers, had, previously
to the public discovery of the fraud, employed Messrs.
William and James Morgan as their stockbrokers for
upwards of twenty years. About May, 1836, Messrs.
William and James Morgan introduced Mr. Solari to
Messrs. Ransom and Co. ; and Mr. Solari imme-
diately afterwards opened an account with them,
which began by his paying in 1,4901.; and some
months afterwards their opinion of his respectability
was confirmed by a transaction referred to by Mr.
Squire, p. 390, which led them to the inference of his
having influence with one of the Railway Companies.
In June, 1836, Mr. Solari applied to these bankers
for, and obtained from them, several loans on the se-
security of Exchequer bills (Qr instruments purporting
to be such), amounting on thewhole to 3,0001., all of
which were paid off on the Bth August following,
though the first of them only then had become due.
From this period to the 23d June, 1840, inclusive (as
more fully appears from the Account, p. 384), further
advances were from time to time made by the bank to
Mr. Solari on the like securities, at such rates of in-
rest as in that account set forth, and to the amount
altogether of 53,0001., viz., 9,000/. in 1837, 7,0001. in
1838, 11,0001. in 1839, ad 26,0001. in 1840 ; and at
the date last mentioned, of 23d June, 1840, a balance
of 37,000/. was due on this loan account to the bank
(the remainder having been paid off), which balance
remained unaltered to the time of his death in October
following.
After his death, Mrs. Solari, his widow and execu-
trix, expressed a desire to continue the account for
some time, and introduced Rapallo (whom the Bank
had not before known) as her friend, with whose as-
sistance she wished to continue the business pursued
by her late husband (p. 17). No new advance, how-
ever, was made, but the former balance remained out-
standing until 6th March, 1841, when the bank
having required that the account should be reduced,
16,0001. was paid off, leaving a balance of 21,0001.
In the. same month, being the period of the March ex-
changes, some of the bills then in deposit were ex-
changed by Rapallo (by the hands of Messrs. Vim.
and James Morgan) for fifteen others • and in the
June following, being the period of the June ex-
changes, the remainder of the old bills were in likec
manner exchanged for six others ; and the twenty-
one bills thus given in substitution are the bills on
which the present claim is made • these having re-
mained in the hands of Messrs. Ransom and Co. at
the time of the public discovery of the fraud, and the
21,0001., with all interest from 30th September last,
being then and still wholly unpaid.

Mr. De Berckem was introduced to the Commer-
cial Bank by Mr. Oxenford, one of their Directors
(who had known him some years under " c! circum-
stances mentioned in Mr. Oxenford's eviue.nce) with
the view of his obtaining from the Bank a loan on
Exchequer bills.
Between the period of his first introduction to the
bank, which was about 14th May, 1841, and that of
the public discovery of the fraud, considerable sums of
money were borrowed by him from the Commercial
Bank, secured by, deposits' of Exchequer bills (or in-
struments purporting to be such), and among others
the bills now in question, which last-mentioned bills
remained in the hands of the Commercial Bank until
the public discovery of the fraud.
The amounts and dates of these loans, and the rates
of interest charged thereon, are exhibited in the ac-

plied on the 15th October, 1841, by advice of his soli-
citor, Mr. Darvill, to Mr. John Wray Scott (men-

that sum ; when Mr. Barnewall, who had 1,0001. trust
money at that time lodged with the Commercial

(as to the first set by J. B. Inglis, Esq.: as to the se-
cond set in their own right).

Series of Holders.---Messrs. William :Ind James
;Morgan, E. Rapallo.
With respect to the first set of bills, the facts are
these :

The bills were delivered to Messrs. W. and J. Mor-
gan by Rapallo, in a parcel of other bills, for the pur-
pose of raising money upon them by deposit, and in
the course of the transactions between those parties to
which we bad occasion to refer in the early part of the
report.
The first five numbers were so delivered on 13th
October, 1841, and the last numbers on 16th October
following. Nos. 6,421, 6,423, 6,445, and 6,493 were
afterwards, viz., on 22d Octo'ler following, sent up by
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to the Exchequer, to be
examined under the circumstances stated p. 243, and
(after an examination to which Mr. B. Smith himself
was a party, the particulars of which are stated pp.
243, 244), pronounced to be good. After this, viz.,
on 25th October following, they were handed over by
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to Mr. Edward Sherman,
under the circumstances stated in pp. 68, 69, 437,
and retained by him until he delivered them into us
under the Commission. The remaining number, viz.
(1,444, was on the 14th October, 1841, delivered by
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to Messrs. Ransom and
Co., under the circumstances stated in the examina-
tions, p. 410, but was returned to Messrs. W. and
J. Morgan, on the 29th October, under the circum-
stances there also stated, and remained in their posses-
sion until delivered in by them under the Commission.
The whole of this set are now claimed by ..?ilessrs. W.
and IT. Morgan as having been appropriated by them
to Mr. Inglis, formerly of the firm of Messrs. Inglis,
Ellis, and Co., of Mark-lane ; having as they allege
been so appropriated on 21st or 22d October, 1841.
And it appears, in fact, that Mr. Inglis had a ba-
lance of money in their hands to the amount of
7,0001. and upwards on the 21st of October, 1841,
on which they allowed him interest at 5 per
c ent., and which (as they allege) was up to that
time secured by Spanish stock and shares. It also ap-
pears that on tie 13th, 15th, 16th, 21st, and 29th of
October, 1841, they made advances to Rapallo on the
Exchequer bill account, as stated in that account, p.
321. But there is no evidence whatever of any entry
in the books of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, or other
act done to appropriate these bills, or any of them,
to Mr. Inglis, until after the apprehension of Rapallo
for the fraud in November following, when notice was
first given by Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to Mr. Inglis,
that such appropriation had been made. The allega-
tion besides of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, that they
appropriated these bills to Mr. Inglis on the 21st and
22d of October, is to be considered in connexion with
the fact of their having delivered them to Mr. Sher-
man and Messrs. Ransom and Co. respectively as
above stated. As to the bills delivered to Sherman,
however, it is to be observed that his statement is at
variance with that of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, who
assert that the delivery to him was under circum-
stances which would give him no title to the bills.
With respect to the second set of bills, the facts are
as follow :

They were received by Messrs. W. and J. Morgan
from hapallo about the 21st October, 1841, for the
same purpose as the first set, and are the surplus of
bills which remain over the 146 set down in Account,
p. 321. These bills remained in the hands of
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan until about the 28th
October following, when they delivered the same over
to Mr. Squire, under the circumstances stated by
the latter in his examination, p. 16, and by Mr. .
Morgan in his examination, Q. 6,033. Mr. Squire,
however, now disclaims all title to them ; and on the
other hand, Messrs. W. and J. Morgan claim a lien on
them for 2,366/. 18s. 10d., which they allege to be
the balance of the general account with Rapallo. But
it will be evident, on examination of that account, p.
415, that it shows a balance against them of 7,1231.
Is. 2d., and that jt is only by claiming 9,0001.
for loss of business that they can make out a balance
due to them of 2,3661. 18s. 10d. And though on the
Exchequer bill account (as distinct from the general
one) there is no doubt a balance in their favour to the
amount of 1,2131. 13s. (see p. 321), yet it will be
found that this balance is carried forward to the rene-
ral account, the ultimate balance on which, as already
remarked, is against them.
We have now completed our statement with re-
spect
to every bill, or set of bills on which a • (aim has
been made, and the circumstances under . hich the
now claimants and antecedent holders of them re-
spectively came to the possession. We shall in the
next place submit to your Majesty our findings or
conclusions with respect to these several parties ; and
for this purpose we shall divide them into four classes.

CLASS I.—As to the first class, consisting of the whole
of the parties above mentioned, with the exception of
thosett at will ,be hereafter particularized, we certify
that we find them upon the evidence to have become re-
spectively the holders of the bills with which they are
connected, in the usual course of business, and without
knowledge or suspicion that they were other than ge-
nuine, or had been improperly obtained by any person
whatever, and under circumstances which warrant no
inference of their having acted with want of proper
caution.

CLASS ll.—As to the second class, consisting of the
following parties, viz, Sir James Shaw, Bart., and
Messrs. H. and W. Hichens and Harrison, we find them
to have become respectively the holders of the bills with
which they are connected, in the usual course of busi-
ness, and without knowledge or suspicion that they were
other than genuine, or had been improperly obtained by
any person whatever. But circumstances appear upon
the evidence which tend to raise some doubt upon the
question, whether these parties have acted or not with
want of proper caution. If that question were left to our
judgment, we should decide that there is not upon the
whole sufficient ground for such an imputation against
either of them ; but we think it right, nevertheless, to
advert specifically to the circumstances here referred to.
They consist of particulars in the conduct of the
party with whom they were dealing, which may be
thought calculated, in a greater or less degree, to have
suggested some suspicion to their minds; and these
particulars may be distributed into the following
heads:-

1. The number, frequency, and large amounts of
the deposits from time to time made with them re-
spectively, by the same party, and the large quanti-
les of bills so deposited, which were i 1 pledge at the
same period of time.
The dates and amounts to which we here refer will
appear from the tabular statements delivered in by
each of these parties ; and are such, in the case of both
(though in different degrees), as naturally to lead to
some remark. It is to be observed, however, in their
favour, that they were respectively dealing with
brokers, or persons habitually acting as such, and
known to be concerned for a principal, and
who might reasonably- also be supposed to re-
present several principals, but who (according
to the practice constantly prevalent among brokers)
would keep the names of their principals, as
a matter of course, concealed. With respect to
Messrs. H. and W. Hitchens and Harrison, it is also
to be remarked that they were dealing with Mr. E.
L. Morgan, who was understood to do the business of
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, and that the latter parties
were known to be brokers for more than one banking
house, and in that capacity might not improbably be
employed to raise money to a large amount from time
to time upon Exchequer bills. And in this point of
view great attention is due to the statement of Mr. IL
Ilichens, as to the large amounts to which he dealt
with other brokers and bankers in securities of the
same description.
2. The instances in which the borrower submitted
to pay interest considerably exceeding 5 per cent. per
annum.

Five per cent. was the maximum that had been
paid to the Bank of England on deposit of Exchequer
bills at any time since the year 1839 (when money
was remarkably scarce), and Sir James Shaw
appears to have invariably conformed to the
Bank interest. But in the account of Messrs. R.
and W. Hichens and Harrison several instances are
found of 6 and 7 per cent., taken in 184 Q and 1841,
for periods from a day to six weeks. There is no
reason, however, to believe that these charges were
at the time beyond the ordinary rates of interest
paid in the general money market, for which the
rate taken at the Bank forms no absolute or invariable
standard. .

But the question, whether they corresponded
or not with the charge made by other persons,
appeared to us to be of the less importance,
because Messrs. R. and W. Hichens and Harrison
were able to prove that they made parallel loans at
the same rates, and at the same periods to other
parties not connected with any of the Exchequer
bills which are the subject of our inquiry, a fact that
strongly rebuts any unfavourable inference that would
arise from the rates of interest paid to them by Mr.
E. L. Morgan, even supposing those rates to be in
themselves excessive; Messrs R. and W. Hichens and
Harrison also proved, that though the rates of inte-
rest were occasionally such as have been mentioned,
yet on an average, and taking the account from first
to last, they were considerably below 5 per cent.
3. The long periods for which the loans were
