the
P°,‘

sabsequentli permitted by the Court to withdraw
this plea, were resumed yesterday, and occupied the
Court from ten o'clock till half-past sig. 'Three
Vire of the persons thus accused of paisitlg and
having Forged Notes in their possession, were found
pill, upon evidence similar to the proofs of forgery
iced •n Monday, namely, that of a lIIIIIii In.
...., , : ..
vraitor sad of a Signing Clerk, the former of whom
mat there had been fevers! (he could not
ilay eigifOrbrged Notes received at the Bank de-
ring the :Test year. ; and the latter; that " be .knew
that some Notes had been issued without the Signing
-Clerk's home to them !!"
. .
It has thus happened, that all of those who were
permitted to withdraw their original plea, and took.
advantage of this indulgence, have been convicted:
The Inferences drown from the conduct of the par-
ties themselves in attempting to utter the forgeries,
lid ,the evidence thus adduced from the Bank, may
,Ile 'efficient to warrant the conviction of .the offenders
i—guilt is often apparent in very trivial circumstances,
but still the Public are as much exposed as ever to
he deceired by these impoiitions ; and uotil the Com-
minity in general are as ikoodsjudges of a Genuine or
a Forged Note, as Mr. Gssisiinsell, of 20 year's ex-
perience, who admits that he has been once deceived
in his life, and that there is an instance of a Genuine
Note having been rejectedsas Forged and stamped as
such, the mischief of the Paper System will remain
undiminished. The Bank is strong in Court only for
its own protection—all the rest of the world remalti
issposed till it finds a convenient opportunity of com-
mencing the prosecution of some miserable offender;
and what amends do the Public, and the injured indivf..
duels who have lost their property by thadeceptions of
the forgers, and by trusting to stereotypes end water.—
marksof which they know not hing,derive from the lOC
of seeing the needy wretches dangling on a gibbet ?
If our Paper System requires to be constantly ce-
mented by the blood of human victims, it ought to
beabandotted aitoget her. ft it now high time that some:
effectual step should be taken to diminish the evils of
this systems, and to lessen the disgusting frequency of
itleals on site ;tart a

The projert of building I new palace for the
PRINCE REGENT, we are assured, is still seriously
entertained at Carlton.houge, and a curious reason is '
assigned fur it. It seems it has been discovered,alt
there is not sufficient room for the cream.coloered
Horses of the Stair.coach to turn roam! in the yard,
when his Royal Highness is going to show himself to
Parliament ! What an unfortunate circumstance !
Therefore the wits of Charlton-house have decided,
that the Public ought to be pot to the Patience of
erecting a new palace on a magnificent scale! As,
however, there are some doubts that the whole of the
splendid plan devised for this purpose can at pre.
sent be carried into execution, it has been resolved, in
the meantime, to re-model Carlton-house, that is to
try to make another Kremlin of it. The following is the
statement most positively vouched for on this subject
—" Mark it Condo," it is worth attention. "We
anderstand that the roof is to be taken off, end the
walls are to be raised a story higher ; and the house,
as it will then stand, will form the centre of a palace,
upon a magnificent scale, to be built at a (were,
period. When the additional buildingsare about to be
began, Warwirk-house, Warwick-street, and the'
whole of the houses from the Haymarket to Carlton.
house, are to be pulled down; and on the other side,
the Rod-house, Mr. PH11.1.111'6 hoQse, with some
others, so as to obtain sufficient space to render the
wings of the new palace uniform. Such, we under-
stand, are the outlines of the plan in agitation. It
was ascertained on the first time of his MAJESTY'S
Stale coach, with the cream-coloured horses, entering
the yard, that there was not sufficient room for them
to turn round. In consequence of this, the PRINCE
RECENT, on all State occasions, in going to Parlia-
ment, has been obliged to go to, St. James's Palace
to get into the State carriage. 4eenniing to the plan
now in view, a larger Court-yard will be formed be.
