Sta,..l beg leave to contradict, throUgh the medium
of your respectable columns, that pert of the state-
ment which appeared in yours, as well as most of the
Papers on Thursday last, with regard to my case at
Guildhall on the preceding day. The report ..tates,
that I was committed for want of bail. This wa: not
the fact ; I had friends in Court, as the Worthy
Alderman well knew, who would have bailed me to
any amount. Extra judicial considerations induced
the Magistrate to demand 124 hours notice of bail,
and I was consequently remanded to the Giltspur-
street Compter. As to the accusation relative to the
knife, Is bleb was attempted to he proved by one so-
litary witness, I have only to say, upon the honour
of a Gentlemen, it Is false. At a future period I
shall be able to prove my assertion.

fast week a dividend of seven shilling and six-
pence in the pound was declared under the com-
mission against BF.LLAIRieI Derby Bank ; and at a
meeting under the Commission against his Stamford
Bank on Monday se•ouight, to consider of making
a dividend, it was proved that two shillings and six-
pence in the pound is all that can be paid to the
creditors.
We are happy to find, that there is not the
slightest foundation for the statement of a Sunday
Paper (which was copied into the papers of yester-
day), of the " failure of a considerable firm iu the
wine trade connected with the City Magistracy of
Loadoo."

too, precisely opposed in principle to the laws al—

if it he true, as the Newspapers tell us it is, that the
Government is going to send home all the foreign
seamen to make room for the employment of our
own, it is going to do a deed, which I will leave
your Lordship, or any body else, to characterize;
for I will not beggar my sentiments by doing it in the
way in which alone I should dare to do it. But, i(
this deed were to be done. If it were to lake its
place in the list of the deeds of 1815; the conse-
quence would be, that the stamers, thus sent home,
would be ready to man the ships and carry on the
commerce of other countries, who will, now that
the seas will be open again, stand in need of
them.
