DEAR compliance wilts your request, 1 here-
with transmit my statement Of the circumstances con-
nected with the transaction to which you allude.-1
&r.am. IRVING allude.-
W. 11. Bodkin, Esq.
"On or about the I•Ith of last month, Mr. Bodkin
informed me that Mr. IValter (lie Editor of The Ti(ncs
Journal), accompanied by his Solicitor, Mr. Platt, had
called at the Meadicity-office, and charged him with
being the author of two letters which had hese feat to
The Times soon after his Majesty's first visit to Drury-
lane Theatre.
-' Those letters. purported to be written by Mr. Win.
Tooke, contained false information as to the audience
being packed, and stated, that the whole plan hail been
arranged at the Mentlicite-office. The ground of Mr.
Walter's suspicion was, that one of the letters in (Ines.
;ion was sealed with a tearer impression, the shape of
which resembled the one upon a genuine letter written
by Mr. Bodkin.
it was in vain Mr. liatnin denied the accusation.—
The Editor of The rmee preferred Isis complaint before
Mr. William Williams, the Treasurer of the Menslieitv
Society, who convened it meeting of a few Members of
the Board, for the purpose of investigating the charge.
This meeting was held at Mr. Tooke's chambers.
" Perhaps it ought to be mentioned in this place, that,
after every seal in the Mendicity-ollice had be..n ex-
amined, Mr. Bodkin went home. and when lie hail, af-
ter a diligent search, found a wafer-seal (not his own),
he hastened with it to the Editor of The Times, who
pronounced that it exactly corresponded with the one un
the surreptitious letter.
" In this stage of the business, Mr. Bodkin related to
me and Mr. Smith, as Members of the Mendicity Board,
the facts above stated. The identity of the wafer seal
perfectly astonished him, and the difficulty of proving a
negative was never more cruelly experienced than on
this occasion, when the hope of discovering the real au•
thor of the letter appeared ao remote and chimerical.
" In consequence of Mr. liodkin's public occupations,
many persons are necessarily in the habit of calling at
his house. Ile was also, at the period when these let-
ters were written, one of the churchwardens of the pa-
rish in which he resides; and the persons calling on
public, parochial, or private itifaire,were intrcilticeil into
an office or study, where he kept his books and papers.
"Abundant opportunity was thus afforded to indivi-
duals to write letters in Isis office, during his absence ;
and it was evident this tearer seal (which he este-Trained
had been in his office about the time this transaction took
lace) must have been used there without his know-
ledge ; but lie knew not whom to seepect, nor was he at
all aware of the natureolthe transaction, as Mr. Walter puss
sit ivel y refused to let him know the contents oldie surrepti-
tions fetters. Baring learned, however, from Mr. Tooke
their political character, it occurred to Mr. Bodkin (as he
informed us) that be had conversed with several persons
on the subject of the King's gratifying receptions at the
Theatres ; and, with a view to repel and disprove the
monstrous assertion of the anilience having beets packed,
that he lead stated the fact of his haying been one among
a few friends who were the tirst to enter the pit upon the
opening of the doors, when they found no one person in.
the house. Mr. Bodkin recollected particularle a Gen-
tleman of the name of Poole, whose politics he knew
were strongly opposed to his own, and who had gone
so far as to charge him with having arranged the al-
leged scheme of parking the audience. Ile knew also
that this individual had been (wen/tied several evenings
in his office or study, its the winding up of souse accounts
generaily alone, and sometimes when Mr. Bodkin was
not even in the house ; and it was soon discovered that
he was in this manner employed, in Mr. Bodkin's
office, jest about the period when his Majesty visited the
Theat res.
" On these grounds, Mr. Bodkin suggested to Mr.
Smith and me the probability of Mr. Poole being the au-
thor of the letter.
"We accordingly waited upon Mr. Poole. it would
lengthen unnecessarily this statement to detail mi-
nutely the whole conversation. Suffice it to say, that I
although Mr. Poole slid not admit he was the author of
the letters in question, he nevertheless made a full and
clear and unqualified avowal that they had been written
iu leis presence in Mr. Bodkin's office, and that they
were written under an impression of the contents being
true. We inquired whether Mr. Bodkin knew ally
thing, directly or indirectly, of such letters ; the an-
swers to whicli question was, that he certainly did not.
It is important to remark, we had not mentioned the
name of Mr. Tooke, before Mr. Poole asked if the letters
alluded to purported to come from Mr. Tooke. lie
farther stated, that the use made of this gentleman's
name was purely accidental, that a number of letters ot
papers were lying on Mr. Dotgan's desk, hearing Mr.
fooke's signature, whirls somgested the idea (as Mr.
Poole informed us) of 'timing his name to the lease
sent to the Editor of The Times.
"It is scarcely necessary to observe that this infor-
mation was not extracted without souse difficulty ; and
it was eventually obtained under a promise that the cow.
muniration should be considered confidential.
"It will me excite surprise that we considered this
confession of Mr. Poole's perfectly conclusive as to the
groundlessness of the charge against Mr. Bodkin. Mr.
Poole bad reluctantly indeed, hut honestly, and unequi-
vocally acknowledged be had been is:.cessary to the act
complained of by Mr. Walter, acquitting at the sante
time Mr. Bodkin of all participation therein ; and no
idea could have occurred to our minds more extravagant
and absurd than still to attach importance to the identity
of a wafer-seal, or the peculiarity of the paper, when
the fact was established that Mr. Poole had been fre-
quently left alone in Mr. Bodkin's office, about the very
period when the surreptitious letters had been written;
and after it had been distinctly stated by Mr. Poole that
he did, upon those occasions, assist in the writing of the
letters, unknown to Mr. Bodkin.
" Mr. Bodkin requested me to communicate the re-
sult of this interview to the members assembled at Ur.
Tooke's chambers. I did so, but probably because I
was not thew at liberty to disclose Mr. Poole's name, the
Treasurer caused the hoard to be summoned for Mon-
day, the V,tb of June, with a reveal to lir. Walter to
attend and prefer his charge.
" At ibis Board, both Mr. Walter and Mr. Bodkin
having emseenled to teartf the decision of the question
to the Members of the M.ndicity Society, Mr. Bodkin
pendia Ma we his utmost endeavours to prevail on
Mr. Pooh io allow his name to be disclosed, and to

/Mr •••••• -
appear before t he board on that day fortftight (Monday.
the 9th Jill)), to which day the Board accordingly ad-
jo•aned.
" In the me ,n time, lest Mr. Poole, when he found
that the assumed a ser' aspect, shouhl refuse
to appear, Mr. Bodkin solicited several Members of the
Soc;cty to rail at his (Poole':.) house, for the purpose of
obtaining from him a confirmation of what he had al-
ready stated to Mr. Smith and me.
" ithjections were, however, mole to this mode of pro- ,
ceeding, every Member being desirous to come to the
examination of the transaction perfectly unbiassed. Mr.
Bodkin, therefore, at my recommeudation, wrote on
Monday, the 2d ofJuly, a letter to Mr. Poole, uf which
the following is a copy:—
~ R,—As neither Mr. Walter nor some members of
the Mendicity Society are satisfied with the testimony of I
Messrs. Brock and Smith, the gentlemen to whom you
avowed the fact of having been accestary to the writing
of a letter to the Editor of The Times, in February last,
communicating intelligence as to the audience on theoc-
casion of the King's first visit to the Theatre having been
packed, I ant under the necessity of insisting upon
your attending the Mendicity office on Monday morning
next, at eleven o'clock precisely, to confirm before other
Members of the Mendicity Society, and Mr. Walter, what
you tutu Mr. Brock and Mr. Smith; and especially to
assure them that I had no knowledo, directly or indi-
meth., of such a letter having been sent to Vat Times.
Mr. Walter has pledged himself that he will not proceed
against you, and that no injurious consequences shall
follow your repeating on Monday next what you hare
already communicated. 1 expect an immediate answer,
41111 am, &e. "W. IioDKIN.
" P. S. You will direct to me at this office, marked

prirate.
" ,Ir. C. Poole."
" Togstlay and Wednesday passed without an answer.
On Thursday Mr. Bodkin received the following note
while I was present at the Memticity office.
Sta,-1 are leaving town this day on public busi-
ness, but will, if possible, be in town on Monday.—
Shnithl von wish to make any communication I shall he
at the White Bart, Lincoln, where a letter will find me.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " CLutexT POOLE.
" Wllitecross-street.“
" 31r. Bodkin had no sooner received this note than
he expressed his determination to thllow Mr. Poole to
Lincoln. preferring this mode of endeavouring to pro-
cure his attendance to the less effectual alternative of a
written application. Ile left (mullion the same evening.
" The day after Mr. Bodkin (pitted town, there was
received at the Mendicity Office, a letter from Mr. Poole
(which I opened) in these words:—
" Two Waters, Bert., July 5, 1921.
" Stn—l find I shall not be in town on Monday, as I
am only leaving here now for Lincoln. I therefore send
you a copy of a letter which I have sent this day to Mr.
Walter, enclosing the one 1 received Loa, you. I have
only to add my sincere wish that you may experience no
farther trouble in this unpleasant affair.
" I am, &i.
(Signed)
" To. W. 11. Bodkin."
(Copy Enclosed)
" Two Waters, Betts, July 5, 1321.
" SIR—AS I shall not be in WWII OR Monday next,
it
will be impossible for me to attend at the Slemlicitv
Office on the subject of the enclosed letter. I have,
however, made a communication on the subject to the
Lord Mayor, to wi I have the pleasure of being
known, and you will do use the favour of calling on
ids Lordship. I trust this unpleasant affair will be ex-
plaiaed to your entire satisfaction.
" 1 am, !cc.
(Signed) CLEIIIO.4T POOL&
" To Walter, Esq."
" On Mr. Bodkin's arrival at Lincoln, he sent me a
letter, by which I found Mr. Poole had informed him of
the communication he had made to Mr. Walter, and
that lie bad at the seine time assured Mr. Bodkin, that
the explanation which lie had authorised the Lord
Mayor to make was one which could not fail to be
quite satisfactory to Mr. Walter. Mr. Bodkin did not
therefore further press Mr. Poole's immediate return to
London.
" Mr. Bodkin returned to London on Monday morn-
ing. the 9th of July, but being prevented by severe Hi-
tless from attending the !Ward, an adjournment took
place to the following Monday (the Itith), when all the
parties intetested were desired to attend.
" Accordingly, on 3londav the It3lh, 3lr. Walter laid
before a full meeting of the-Board the whole of leis evi-
(ience. Every circumstance connected with the charge ;

of the wafer seal, which 31r. Bodkin had spontaneously
given tip to Mr. tValter, of course admitted; but

were snore competent to form a correct opinion (Oen !

.‘ On the part of Mr. Bodkin, individuals were ex-
amined, who proved the fact of Mr. Poole having been
seen writing alone in Mr. Bodkin's suffice at the period
when the letters complained of were written. Mr.
Poole himself also attended, and repeated in a most
clear and satisfactory manner, what he had lefore cow.
municated. One Gentleman who had been in constant
correspondence with 'lr. Bodkin during the last fifteen
years, stated his conviction that the surreptitious letters
were nut in Mr. Bodkin's hand-writing. Many other
witnesses were in attendance, but the Board intimated
that it was unnecessary for Mr. Bodkin to call any
further evidence, being satisfied of the groundlessuess
of the charge.
" It may be worthy of remark, that the whole of
these proceedings took place in the presence of Mr.
'falter and Mr. Platt, his legal adviser, who assisted in

obsrrving that it contains a garbled and distorted view
of this transaction, suppresses material facts, misrepre-
sents others, and in every sentencebetrays the writhings
of a man disappointed in the hope helmd indulged of
sacrificing Mr. Bodkin to private pique and political
, hostility. I have not been in habits of intimacy with
I Mr. Bodkin; my acquaintance with that gentleman ori-
ginated at the Slendicity Society; and if, in tie- pro-
gress of this inquiry, I manifested any extraordinary
zeal in his favour, it was created by the early conviction
with which I was impressed of the malevolence of the
accusation, and by the consideration that an individual
who devotes the whole of his time to the concerns of
acharitable Institution, and the business of whose life
! is to diminish the sum of human misery, bad a pecu-
liar and irresistible claim to whatever protection it was
lin my power to afford. " Invlxo Baum

Serna, had been appointed Vice Roy, which has given
great satisfaction to the inhabitants. In all the pro-
vinces of the south of Lima, and also In upper Peru
the most perfect Laranoaly reigns, and no apprehensions
were entertained from the troops of Chili. Tie inh a.
bitants of Lima felt themselves superior to any attack
of San Martin's army, the Chilian Commander having
been roughly handled at Guacho, his late head-quarters,
in au action with the Spanish troops, from which he was
obliged to retreat upon Truxillo, having suffered a consi.
therahle loss in nava ail. The advice, from Liana mention

thousand men. about 8000 of them European veterans;
aid to these 4000 European Spaniards, in the City of

The Government of Chili has notified to General

All the accounts from the Continent received since our
last represent a war between Russia and Turkey as ine-
vitable. Letters from Frankfort, dated July 2S, say
that many English alai French couriers passed through
there; some proceeding to Vienna, and others to Peters-
burgh. The rnmours of war against Turkey now as-
sume a certain consistency. From Augsburg, July 20,
we learn that the movements of the Austrian troops to
the provinces bordering upon Turkey are confirmed by
all the advises which hare arrived from that quarter. It
is thought, that an Austrian Army will enter the Otto-
man territory at the same time with a Russian force, in
order to re-establish tranquillity, and to protect the
Greeks. It is announced that • Manifesto sill be
promptly promulgated. The aegociations between the
Great Powers, which at present so iuteosely occupy the
Diplomatists, relate to this object. An article from
Vienna, dated July 17, says, Count de Loma, our In-
terouncio at Constantinople, who has hitherto been en-
ileavouring to render available the mediation of his
Court, has now changed his tone, in consequence of the
Porte having caused a Captain and five seamen in the
Austrian service to be arrested, and their beads to be
wrack off a About even the form of a trial. It is not
doubted that this circumstance will induce our Court to
depart from that system of neutrality which it appeared
to ban adopted relatively to the differences between theil
Porte and Kasai& In corroooration of the above is the
following extract of a private-letter from Neremberg,
July 21. "It is asserted, that dl hopes of an adjust-
meat of the differences which ban arisen between the
Ottoman Porte and Russia are vanished. The Divan
even refused the mediation offered by the Internuncio
of Austria, in the name of his Court. In this state
of things, we daily expect that a manifesto on the
part of the two Imserial Courts, relative to the
affairs of Greece, will be promulgated. On the
other hand, it appears that the Porte has solicited the
intervention of France and England. It is doubted
whether this step will be attended with any success,
inasmuch as the Ottoman Government has taken no
mmeares to put an end to the massacres, of which Con-
stantinople is the theatre." The Journal de Park
wakes the following quotation from the Journal is
Lyons of the 24th instant:—" Persons who are said is

eluded, in virtue of which • great Sovereign of the
