FORGERY OF BANK-NOTES.

Our Readers would see by the Certificate which we
published yesterday, signed by Messrs. HEATH, FITT-
LER, BYRNE, SHARP, and LOWRY, that an Invention
calculated to lessen, if not prevent entirely the for
gery of Bank Notes, had not only been offered to the
Bank by Mr. TILLoou, in the year 1797, but that the
Engraver of the Bank, who had undertaken to shew,
by producing afac simile, that the Invention was not
calculated to answer the purpose for which it was
brought forward, had not been able to produce a
copy deserving of that name.
That the Gentlemen, whose names we have men-
tioned, were competent judges, will not, it is pre-
sumed, be denied by any. They were not, however,
the only Artists present at the Comparison made at
the Bank, on the 4th of July, 1797, and it is there-
fore necessary that the public should be informed
that ALL the Engravers present were decidedly of,
opinion, that the Plan that had been offered to the
Bank would, if adopted, not only great, lessen the
number of forgeries, but go a great way towards pre-
venting the crime entirely.
The Engravers who were present were six in num-
ber,
viz. the five mentioned above, whose names were
attached to the first of the two certificates which we
yesterday published, and Mr. LANDSEER—a number
11which it was believed would be held competent, being
all gentlemen of the first ability in their profession,
and men of unimpeachable character. But why did
not Mr. LANDSEER'S signature appear along with the
other five Artists ?—Not for the reason which we
have hoard whispered about this morni ig, viz. that
he was satisfied that the attempt of the Bank En-
graver could be considered as a copy of Mr. TILLOCH'S
specimen ; but for a reason of quite an opposite kind--
He thought the Certificate signed by Messrs. HEATH,
FITTLER, BYRNE, SHARP, and LOWRY, was not ex
pressed in such strong and decided terms as the occa-
sion called for, and therefore he chose to express his
opinion in his own language. Nothing but want of
room prevented our laying the subjoined Copy cf
Mr. LANDSEEIt'S Certificate before our Readers yes-
terday, as also the Certificate of another Engraver in
a different line of the Art:

" I.cwrow, bra Jrtr, 1797.

" I beg leave to re.assert my opinion, that Mr. TILLOCIi'S spe-
cimen of an Art invented by him, is, to the utmost of my be-
not copyable by an/ known art of engraving ; and to add,
that the foundation of this opinion, in truth, is rather proved than
contradicted by the attempt Mr. Teeny has nude to produce Sr.
Imitation. Mr. TZILLT'S Imitation, besides that it possesses no
correct resemblance of its Oriental, is radically different in the
manner of its production, being evidently printed from engraved
lines or inci'ions, and by means of the rolling-press; whereas
Mr. Ta.t.oca's Work is as evidently produced from the surface
of his plate or block, and by means of the letter-press, or some
such Instrument. It is, moreover, according to my perceptions,
an obvious fact, that Isle. 'razzes Imitation is so much unlike
the Original in most of its particulars, that I find it difficult to '
suppose that Forgeries thus executed could impose on any one ;
and when I go further, and imagine Bank Notes executed by
means at Mr. Tit Loch's Art, and the public eye accustomed
thereto, the difficulty is increased to a degree so considerable, that
Mr. Tinter himself will hardly affirm, that in such a case per-
sons of ordivary discernment would be liable to mistake the one
for the other. On this point I the rather dwell, as few persons
will be found who cannot distinguish a counterfeit halfpenny
' from one coined at the Tower, or a brass counter, bearing the
King's likeness, from a guinea; both of which are resemblances
that approach nearer to their Originals than Mr. Tsaav's Imi-
tation to Mr. T:ccocu'a Specimen.
" Yet, as this fact of the resemblaree, or want of resem::
blance, between the Copy and the Original, is rot a subject for
argument, being determinable only by direct appeal to the organ
of vision ; and as each party concerned will therefore determine
for himself, I would not be thought to aim at more than simply
a statement of the truth, as it appears to me.
" If the distant general• resemblance of the Imitation to the
Original was admitted, and that persons tcl:tht be found of per-
ceptions so gross as to mistake the one for the other, it would
still, as I apprehend, be a proper s sijeet for consideration—
Whether Mr. Ticcocu's Art would not be worthy of the adop-
tion of the Bank? because, even though it should not remove
the possibility of Forgeries, it would at least diminish their
practicability, and consequently their number, by rendering et-
.tremely diif►:ult, what at present, to an Engraver of the tni.si
ordinary talents, is very easy. In short, until means are di.-
covered of rendering the Forgery of B..nk Notes utterly Int-
practicabl,.,, it should seem to be a duty the Bank Directors owe
to the and to thniselves, to render it as difficult as possible.
" That Kr. Tit.tocu's Art would increase the difficulty of
Forging on the Bank, and that to ar. incalculable degree, has not
been, and, I venture to think, carrot be, denied. I therefore
consider him as having tendered to the Bank what must, had it
beefs adopted, have been a benefit to the community. I ant
obliged to consider him as the inventor of a new and diotinet
species of engraving, if engraving it may be called, and (it Is
but just to add) en consider the Specimen offered to the Governor
and Directors of the Bank of England for their inspection, u a
first effort in a new Art. A new Art it certainly is, and, by a
parity of reasoning, capable of extension and improvement ; for
no art was ever carried to in PC :Ali vitro of perfection in the
beginning. " J. LANDSZER, One of the Six Engravers who
attended the Cor.•mittee of Bank Directors
on the 4th instant."
" Losroms, lOnt JULY, 17,7.
_ _

" I hive seen both the wood-cut and the copper-plate attesnpt
at an Imitation of Mr. TILLOCH% Specimen, and I hereby de-
clare that neither of them were Copies, and that Mr. TILLocH's
Work deserves the commendations which have been bestowed
upon it by the different Artists who have signed the preceding
Declarations. " RICHARD AUSTn.f."

We shall not detain our Readers with comments
upon documents which, when taken along with col-
lateral circumstances, speak volumes ; but content
ourselves at present with stating that the last twenty
years, with all the improvements and discoveries
which they have brought forth, have produced no-
thing to lessen the value of the Invention offered to
the Bank in 1797. We may also remark, that the
last twenty years has produced almost a new race of
men—new as to the iadividuals who fill up the ex-

panded sphere of human action—now as to the degree
of intelligence and information possessed by those who
occupy the chief directionof all great public concerns.•
It was perhaps to be expected at the time referred
to, that the Bank Directors should pay great deference
to the opinion of their Engraver, however singular it
may appear at the present period, that they should
have put his opinion in competition with that of t4e
/rst Artists in the world. On a future occasion we will
probably take an opportunity of laying before the
Public some evidence respecting the real opi:zion of
the then Engraver of the Bank, which was very dif-
ferent from that which he then gave to the Directors.
In the mean time we shall conclude our present ob-
servations with a single remark :—The present direc-
tors of the Bank, as a body, must be better informed
men than any equal number that could have been
found for that Office twenty years ago; and it is ex-
tremely probable that Mr. HARM aN, when he used
the words to which we objected in our Paper of the
20th, was not aware of the fact that the Directors of
the Bank had, in the year 1797, been offered a plan
which, had it been then adopted, would have saved
the lives of hundreds of victims who have since suf-
fered fur forging Bank notes, or uttering them,
knowing them to be forged.

James Cobbet and George Wilkin, for utteringzei
Bank Notes, were executed on Friday at No P'
ton—they denied to the last knowing the notes were
forged, stating they took them of a person at Red-
bourn Fair.

Yesterday at noon, the QUEEN, accompanied by the
Princesses Aut.tisTA and ELIZABETH, strived at her
Palace from Windsor. Her MAJEsrv's landau was
preceded by six outriders and a party of the 10th
Dragoons. Her MAJESTY appeared in excellent
health and spirits: she was dressed in a light blue
pelisse, trimmed with ermine and white satin, and an
elegant cap to correspond. The Princess ELIZABETH
wore an a-tire pelisse, trimmed with white, and a
Leghorn bonnet surmounted with a beautiful plume
of ostrich feathers. Her MAJESTY, soon after her
arria al, was visited by the Duchess of GLoticasras,
the Duke of SUSSEX, and a number of female Nobi-
lity. The Duke of YORK dined with her MAJESTY
and PR NCESSES. In the evening her MAJESTY had
a sL:iect party.
_ _ .

While her MAJESTY and the Princess ELIZABETH
were alighting from their carriage yesterday, the
Prince of llnssE /IGMBERG passed by in a carriage
and four, attended by two of the PRINCE REGENT S
ou:ridcrs, on his way to Oatlands.
Friday Mr. Mrt-tr:a, a Hanoverian Messenger, ar-
rived in London, with dispatches from the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE, letters to the Royal Family, &c. Yester-
day the Royal Family again received letters from his
Hoysl Highness.
The Marquis of WELLEstity passes his time wholly
in seclusion from the world, at his enchanting villa,
on the banks of the Thames, at Richmond.
The fashionable Mrs. BEAUMONT gave a splendid
ball at Paris lately, to all the fashionables there. The
Duke of WELLINGTON was of the party.
Among the Parisian Belles of Fashion the most fa-
shionable colours are lemon-yellow and lilac. Some
hats, which for the fineness and regularity of the
work may be compared to Italian straw, and which
are taken for rice-straw, are made of cotton. The
wreathes of flower are generally composed of lilac,
or small ranuneulusses and greens, sometimes of ever-
lasting flowers.
Whilst the alterations and improvements at Carl-
ton House are going on, the PRINCE REGENT will re-
side at Marlborough House, which is now preparing
for his Royal Highness's reception. Independently
of the removal of the screen of columns in front of
the palace, domestic officei will be erected, and some
changes take place in the disposition of the ornaments
and furniture in the State apartments, which have
undergone no change for nearly seven ears.
The report is again revived that St. James's Palace
will shortly be removed, to make way for a new edi-
fice of brick and stone; the order to be Grecian, and
the grand entrance opposite St. James's-street. Every
person now residing therein, has received an official
intimation to quit possession; and, as the order was
issued six months ago, they may be called upon to
quit at a week's notice.
Something will soon be done to relieve the QUEEN'S
Palace, in St. James's Park, from the effects of the
ovelaow of water, from Rosamond's Pond, which has
formed a subterraneous passage across the Green
I Park, and will ultimately sap the foundation of that
fine edifice. The water runs along the Park wall,
from the Canal ; and, although numberless workmen
have been employed for months in the construction
of a sewer, on the East-side of Lord COVENTRY'S
garden, the evil still exists ; the ground, indeed, is a
complete swamp,

Early on Sunsday se'nnight the threshing machine
belonging to Mr. BELL, farmer at Linton, and early
or: Monday morning, Linton corn-mill, tenanted by
Mr. JAMES MunniE, were discovered to be on fire.—
Although considerable damage accrued, yet, in both
cases, the active exertions of the neighbours preven-
ted the flames from communicating Kith the adjoin-
ing buildings. But from several circumstances,
there seems to be too much reason to fear that the
fires were wilful.

An alarming fire broke out on the premises of
BENJ. TALBOT, Esq. Burnham-cross, near Uxbridge,
1 early on Sunday morning, which destroyed the in-
-1
terior. It was occasioned by linen taking fire, which
was left to dry in the laundry. A footbov who slept
over the laundry, which is a wing of the dwelling-
house, was severely burnt, and the family narrowly
escaped._

Jan Gi►ran, chimney-sweeper, in Glasgow, has
been fined 10/. for using one of his boys cruelly.—On
the 2d ultimo Mr. BLACK, the Superintendant of Fire
Engines, and his men, having been called to a house
on flee, in Argyll-court, had to make a hole in the
wall to get at the vent, recently on fire, when they
discovered in it a sweep boy who had been forced up
by his master. A prosecution was immediately in-
stituted by Mr. BLACK, and the master for some time
defended ; but at last pleaded Guilty, and threw
himself on the mercy of the Court.
