FORGERIES ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

Wednesday se'nnight, a tall pale looking young man,
with dark hair and ayes, bought some st ickings of Mrs.
D.rnby, Oxford-road, Manchester, and paid for them
with a forged five pound Wink of England note, re-'
ceiving the change. The same person attempted to
pass another note at the shop of Miss Booth, but she,
suspecting it, she said she had u'st chan..e, and desired
him to call again at two o'clock, when her father would
be at home.

About three o'clock, the young man called, aid pre-
sented a 51. not.., which Miss Booth took to her father,
who came into the shop, and asked the young man
where be had got it ? I gave five s..vtre7g,is for it,'
he replied. " Well," said Mr. Booth, "1 have not
so much change by me, but I soppo•e ycu mill have,
no Objections to accompany my daughter to Mrs.
D inby s, s.e if she will change it ? The young man
making rrt objections, Miss Booth, who is a very hand-
some and genteel looking yount Lady, and ton more
than sixteen years old, accompanied him on the road
to Mrs. D.nby's. NVben they art ived at the corner of
Chester-sue t, he said, " talt g any bother.' On
which Miss Booth boldly s,ized hint by the ciatr, and
insisted upon his going to Mrs. Danby's, whither she
lz.d him. Johnson, the Deputy-C, n•table was sent. for,
and the IlfgC which he had paid to Mrs. Danbi, as well
as that which lie bad icceutly offered to Miss Booth,

LUCERNE, DICEMDEft IS.

The proceedings against the band of the notorious Wendel seem
on the point of takin .1 a new turn, in consequence of most important
inform .tion obtained by the Court of Knquiry. The daughttts of
the Avoyer Keller, doing homage to truth, and breaking a silence
whiels has long been imposed on them by fear, .have declared that
they saw their father murdered in their presence, and have been
only restrained by an oath extorted from them by the perpetrators
from revealing the crime, which they were obliged to witness. The
great number of accomplices, their rank in society, the fear that
troubles the witnesses, the necessity under which the Judges have
found themselves of requiring the intervention of the Confedera-
tion, and of removing the seat of the investigation to a Canton
rovented by other laws, and to a fortified town, namely, to Zurich;
in a word, everything unites to give an importance to these pro-
e,edings calculated to attract universal attention. It has been
remark. ..1 that there never were at Lucerne such numerous and'
splendid entertainments and diversions as at present; and this is
ascribed by some persons to a wish to divert the attention of the
110)!iC as much as possible from this important trial, in which many
di-tinguished persons may sootier or later be implicated.

FROM ANOTHER LETTER.

" GIXRALTAR, DSC MIMS jO.
" About two hundred vestal's are lust on the neutral grounds ;
there were nearly three hundred in the bay at the commencement
of the hurricane, out of which it Is calculated only twelve have
escaped without serious injury."

The hackney cabriolets have been increased, from
twelve to one hundred. Time are other one-hers:
carriages caning out in the spring, to run with four
wheels; to carry three persons, and a dickey in front
for the ativer.

Three pounds of lemon peel, candied ; 26 pounds or
currants; SL) pounds of raisins; 32 pounds of sugar;
and 40 pounds of suet and 80 pounds of fl )ur, bought
for the same pu-pose elsewhere—making, in all, 211
pounds; besides e 'gs and milk, which, n ith a common
piopyrriors, the whole would amount to about 225 or

fordshire, a tended a Bench of Magistrates at Wine!,
a distance of nearly thirty miles, in pursuance of a sum-
mons granted upon an information of the surveyor of
the turnpike roads, the drivers hav:ng left their wag-
gons in front of the public•hou;e where they stopped
.the night, which being on the side of the turnpike-road,
under the last general Turnpike Act, imposes a penalty
of 40s. They were fined in a mitigated penalty and costs.

LUDICROUS Cntats.—At a Quarter Sessions is! the
Peace, held at Taunton, Somet setshire, on the 28th of
February.l746, Mary Hamilton, otherwise George,
otherwise Charles Hamilton, was t:ied tor pretending
herself a man, and marts ins f.urteen wives. the last of
whom, Mary Price, deposed in Court, that she was mar-
ried to the prisoner, and said they 11.4 d lived together as
mats and wife for a quartet: of a sear, doting
time she thought th.t prisoner a man, owing to the pri-
soner's vile and deceitful practices. After a debate
upon the nature of the crime, and what to call it, it was
agreed by the Magistrates that she was an uncommon
notorious cheat, and'she w.ts accordingly sentenced to
he publicly whipped in. Taunton, Glastonbury, Wells,
and Shepton-Mallet, the places of her gallantry ; to be
further imprisoned for six rnt,nths, and to find security
for her good behaviour, as long as the Justices at the
next Quarter Sessions should determine.

the very same horse he had twice stolen from Mr.

NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, Nov.l.

I wrote to you on the 80th tilt. per favour of Mr.
Raybaud, who left for Marseilles. The pi
jet of his departure is to execute some commissions for
the Committee of Paris. He told me, that lie Irnielt,
as well as the other French Officers, were mote or less
discontented, as trey had not received the appointments
they expected. Colonel Fabvier had rpposed their de-
sires in this respect, and the Government considered
itself bound to follow his representations. The French
Officers themselves know this, and although chagrined
at their disaFpointment, they are displeased with Col.
Fabvier, and not with the Government.

The persons sent by the Paris Committee wilt cer-
tainly be of great use to Greece, on account of the
mechanical instruments they have brought with-them.
A building near Pla ea has been appropriated'for a
manufactory; and the engineers, who are full of ardour
And enthusiasm, assure us, that in five or six days they,
will be able to cast cannon-balls. Napoli di Romania
has so good a supply of iron, that, if they succeed, the
Government will not stand in need of shot for some
time. The same engineers anticipate sanguinely 'that
they will be able to fabi icate gunpowder. The Goveia-
orient has also determined on circulating national coin
as a substitute for the pares. -The bronze cannuk. of
Napoli; which is no-longer.servicealsky.is,to be apirlied
to that object. After a short time sili,er coirS *lll be
also minted. The name and value of these 'pl#Ces are
not yet fixed.

the watchman himself was in the wrong, and behaved with great
violence, he was held to bail, and the Magistrate advised Messrs(
Hull and Bagster to prosecute him.

A young man applied for Magisterial assistance, 'under the fol;•
lowing circumstances:--A few days ago he came to London id
search of employment, his whole stock of cash being a country Li
note. The late panic rendered it impossible to get value for it, and
at 1451 he was obliged to sell it to a Jew for half-a-crown! In the
meantime lie had run up a bill at his lodgings his cluthes.were de,
tained, and he was utterly destit,ite.

THE SILK TRADE.

Flt 111 THE MACCLIUPIELD COURIER.

We have been favoured with a copy of Mr. Hos-
kisson's answer to the Memorial of the Operative Silk
Weavers and Djers of this town.
" Board of Trade, Dec. 24, 1825.
" GENTLEMENI ha ye to acknowledge the honour sf
your letter of the 14th inst. enclosing a Memorial from
the weavers and silk dyers of the borough of Maccles•
field, and also a letter from the Mayor, which accom-
panied that .M m ,rial.
-" fu conformity to your request, I have Communi-
cated these documents to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer. He very sincerely regrets, in common with
myself, the depressed state of the manufacture of Mac-
clesfield, and the unfortunate failures which have lately
occulted there; but, afrer the nit) 1 mature consid:ra-
tion which we can give to 'the subject of the Silk Trade,
we do not feel ourselves justified in departing from the
decision lately communicated by the Board of Trade,
in answer to an appl.carton similar to the present from
Macclesfield. •

6* l'hat decision in substance was, that we could not
consent to continue the prohibition of foreign wrought
silks he) •nd the peolod now fixed by the Act of 1824.

" If however any practicst ploimsal bhall be brought
forward by the minitfActurers, which might appear to
then calculated to tender the pto:ectioo %%hie) that law
substitutes for prohibition; mote effectual, without the
risk of throwing the trade into the hands of the smug-
gler, such
.a 'flop:4111 will receive from us the most
attentive consideilciim.

•a As the Memoriali is 4 profess that they do not go
into arguments upon the ques'ion,' it is only fu►ther
necessary for me to siate, that, in the judgment of
this Board, the present depiession of price, and stegna-
tion in the Silk Trade, Ate mainly to he ascribed to other
causes than the passing rf the Act of the Session before
ins,; and among the,e causes', in no small degree, to
the extravagant si ecolati !ns in the raw matet ial, and
to the very miusual 'etc' duns nit& in many parts of
Am kingdom, but more especially at Maccleifield,
rapidly to increase the manufacturing establishments,
and the number of hands engaged in them ; specula
;tons entered into, and exertions made, since the passing
of the Law lOr the admission ot foreign wrought silks,
ss hen this c'ts .ge must have been as much within
:le kn:awledg►e and cons mplat.on of the patties as it is
it this moment.

the Society of Friends attended yesterday to inform the Loan
MATO& that Mr. Goundry, the Manager of the above Company,
had not for some time belonged to their body.
'lhe LORD NIETO& sent a Messenger to Mr. Goundry's counting
house, requiring bis attendance, but no person was visible there
except the porter, who was ordered tb attend, and underwent the
following examination :

Thy Loss Nlatroa—Are you employed by the Directors?—No,
my Lord; I am employed by Mr. Goundry.
How much does he give you a week am paid by the day
I sets 2t.

How many Clerks are in the counting house?—None but my.
self—(A laugh).
Who writes the letters?—Mr. Goundry.
Who keeps the books?—Mr. Goundry.
Who is the Treasurer?-11r. Goundry.
Where is your tea warehouse?—The East India House is our
tea-warehouse—( Laughter).
Who are your Bankers?—That I can't ten—l know nothing
about Bankers.

How often do the Directors of the Tea Agency Company meet?
I never saw no meeting of Directors, nor nobodyielse--( A laugh).
Why here are the names of several Directors (his Lordship then
read over the names mentioned in the Prospectus).
Has the Company done much in the tea business ?—Not a great
deal, I believe; there was ten chests purchased; but Mr. Goundry
never told me nothing.
What business have you seen dime ?—I have seen a chest of tea
taken from the East India Warehouse, and Mr. Goundry gave
directions about it, but he never tells me nothing.
Do you know anything about those (shewing bins some of the
Shares produced the day before)—Yes; there was 500 or 1000 of
them printed off.
How happpens it that some of them in my band are:numbered
COCO and upwards ?—That I can't tell.
Mr. Hestia—The Managing Director began, most probably,
with a high number to make the shares pass off well, as watch-
makers are in the habit of numbering their first attempts by multi-
plying everyone by 1000.—(Laughter.) Some fashionable Gentle.
men number their shirts upon the same principle.—(A laugh.)—
Porter. I don't know nothing of that ; but lam sure that the
printer never got no payment for what he printed.
The Loan Maven—Has nobody been at the counting-house to
inquire about things of this kind?—(Pointing to the shares.)-1
Porter. Nobody.
The Loma Maros said, that if Mr. Goundry should continue to
disregard a second summons, a warrant should certainly be wilt
after him.

the loss of ISKAHISI PACHA is 8,000 men—that his

in a better condition, on account of its having received
provisions.

The Aligesnaime Zeitung of the 27th ult. has a letter
