the address having been forwarded to her Majesty, the following an...w-r
was received by them on the same day—Friday sennight:—
" Mr. Barton hue been honoured by tee:Ash-4 the commands of the
Queen to acquaint tie deputation of silk.weavms, that her Majesty rr .
ceives with pleasure their very respectful and loyal address of congratu-

prosion to which it has lat!erle bet n so much reduetti.
" To the 11)eputation of Silli.wesvers,
lialtien.cross, Ptincr's-strect."

The athlren to the King was then discuased. In it the wearers, after
condoling with his Majt,ty upon the death of the late King his brother,
and coogratula!;ni; ;:is Majesty upon his accession to the throne, pro-
ceeded to state the depres:cd t.tate of their trade, occasioned, in their
opietioi:, by trce trade a:.tl the superseding of manual labour 1:y ma-
chinery.

Mr. WALLIS said the commits ie left this address at the office of the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, on the 6th of September,
and on the 111th reeds-eft a note informing them that Sir Robert Peel had
not failed to transmit it to his Majesty. Not hearing any thing further
of their address. they wrote to Sir Robert Peel on the Ilth of October
as follows :

" Sta—The Cam:duet of Broad Silk Weavers of Spitalfields having
done themselves the honour of addressin!: his Majesty in the name of
their trade, and having left the address at the Home Office, for presen-
tation on Monday, the 6:h of September, and having been honoured by
a note, dated September 18, to inform us that you had transmitted the
address to his Majesty, we feel a little surprised at not receiving any
further communication, and under some embarrassment as to allaying
the anxit ty of the mule. We therefore request the honour of your at.
tention to the pu.priety of an inquiry in the proper iittett.r as to obtain-
ing an answer front his Majesty as early as possible, in order that we
may be able w lay the same before the trade in the usual way.
We arc, &c.
(S:gticii) " Joint Posture, " WM. WALLI3,
" En. SEWELL."
In reply to this the fullosing was received:—
" Whitehall, Oct. 13.

" Sir-1 am ditectcd by Secretary Sir Robert Peal to inform you, in
reply to your letter of the llth instant, that he is not able to give ahy
information respecting the address of the bro 4 silk weavers of Spital-
fields, besides that contained in his former Liter.

`• S. M. PHILLIPS."

" Mr. John Puytan, 3, Underwood-street, Milc.end New Town."

Mr. WALLIC said, that nothing further had been heard by the com-
mittee of the address, and he could not help thinking that it must have
miscarried, when he contrasted the present with anotiwr occasion when
an address was presented to the Duke of Clarence, and his 3lajesty's
known condescension in invariably acknowledging and answering the
addresses of 116 loyal subjects.

There was a general feeling of dismatisfaction at the non-acknowledgs
meat of the address, and after several speeches on the subject, a resolu-
tion was passed :

" That the address to Ids Majesty be persevered in ; and the com.
mittee continue to c.rry tie presenting it into effect, in order to obtain
an answer."

The meeting then proceeded to discuss the propriety of adopting some
VIM general application for an adv.,nce of priers, and separated, after
having adopted, sonic resolutions on the sohjLet.

THE UTTERERS OF FORGED NOTES IN THE NORTH

Monday Nit.. Gates, the solicitor to the Association of Towo mid
Country Bankers for protection from forgery and fraud, arrived in :own
front the northern counties, where he had been occupied for some day a
in obtaining information respecting the gang of utterers who have
been uttering forged notes or. Messrs. Arkwright's bank to the public.
His object in coming to town by express was in order to consult Go.
vernment on the subject of the extensive forgeries which are now circu-
lating through the country. lie has succeeded in getting ten of the
well-known persons employed in passing the notes apprehended. One
of the most able and ingenious of the utterer is a publican named
Greenbanks, who keeps a snug house of entertainment for man and
horse near Sheffield. Mr. Gates learned that this man had gone to se-
veral of the market-towns with a great many of the forged notes, and
officers were placed in the neighbourhood of his house to watch fur and
apprehend him on his return. He had just left the top of a stage
coach, and was walking towards his house by a back way, when the po-
lice pounced upon him. lie had passed his share of the forged notes on
his travels, and had his pockets loaded with sovereigns, the produce of
his labours. Greenbank's house, it has been ascertained, is what is
called " a regular stop," from the facilities which it has often afforded
to thieves in escaping pursuit. The moment one of the "copes" rode
into the yard, his horse was taken to a place of concealment and locked
up, and when inquiry was made, the landlord said, with some truth,
that the person sought for did not pass that house. Greenbanks having
been seized about a quarter of a mile from his house, the intelligence
reached two others of the gang who were there waiting for him, and who
contrived to escape. Evidence was brought forward to prove that
Greenbanks had passed :AMC of the spurious notes, and he was fully
committed for trial.

The officers next took into custody a very desperate fellow named
Cutts, who has been some time known as a " caper." Ile was in a
house in the neighbourhood of Chesterfied, and the moment he heard
the officers at the door, he ran to the window. threw it up. and was
about to spring into the river, when Bishop, the officer, caught him by
the leg, and clapped a pair of hand-cuffs upon him. A great deal of
gold was found upon the person of Cutts ; so that if he had succeeded
in springing into the river, he would must probably have been drowned,
the swag was so heavy.
A woman, named Martin, was also fully committed for trial for ut.
tering forged notes with a guilty knowledge. She had dealt round
about the country most extensively, and a great number of the notes;
were traced to her. A woman, named Singleton, the wife of Nathan
Singleton, was appu•hended for passing one of the forged notes. She
appeared to be quite ignorant of the spuriousness of time note, and
frankly admitted that she had received it front her husband. In most
instances the articles purchased for the purpose of getting rid of a bad
note seldom cost so much as a shilling—that sum was the maximum of
purchases all through. In a great number of instances a note was
changed for a pint or a glass of ale. As the agent of the associated
bankers troves. d the c. ovary, lie often asked the landlord of an inn
whether he had ant• of Ark *right's notes, and upon being answered in
the affirmative, lie avail' at the instrument. and pronounced it fictitious.
The first issue of forged notes, it is stated by a store (an intornier,)
amounted to (lOU, and those were quickly got rid or, to the loss, to those
who bold thou, of 2,500 L The smashers call the first issue, the
'• prime sale and delivery."

Two of the most prominent diameters amongst the gang were traced
to various places in Wales, and to Liverpool, from whence they had
just sailed in an American packet. It is rather singular, that in Wales
DO active assistance was given to those who were in pursuit, by the con-
stables ; but Mr. times was most powerfully aidtd by Mr. Lavender of
Manchester, Mr. Timms, and the rest of the very efficient body of police
there. It is miser odd that no forged notes were found upon any of
the prisoners, except upon one, named Dunn, who bad sixteen of them
in iris pocket. Upon one occasion. the police went into a house to look
for an utterer, who was concealed there. One of the offiiers nu up to
the bed rooms, and, going over to a bed, saws person lying ♦ety stilt.
16' Halloo," said he, " my good fellow " (believing that he had got his
man,) " why don't you turn out 1 you can't sleep here all day, you
know." To this remonstrance the officer received no answer. "Oh !
