TsuE REV. A. FLETCHEau.-Yesterday evening a meet- ing ofthe friends of the above gentleman was held at the Albion Chapel, Moorfields-Air.'Fletcher in the chair, who addressed the meeting at considerable length, and congratulated them on the re- 6ult of that day's proceedings in Chancery. He regretted they had1 caused so much anxiety to his friends, whose kindness to bim ihe could never susfficicntly thank them for. (In the course ot'his speeeh considerable confusion was created by a person in the gaUery calling out-" A person who breaks a promise of marriag'e madc to a wvoman is utnrorthy the nane ofman." Thanks were tben voted to the nsa- nagers of the chapel, and the rneeting separated. Some time ago, a Colonel in the army gave an order on a country hank, to a baniking.house in the metropolis, for five tho7s*tnd piouad, directing that the same should be invested i . the 4 per Centrs. The ordet on tte country bank was duly paid,and shortly eftersvardse Bank receipt, purportingtohavebeen signed by a person tratsferring stock, and witnessed, wa.s transmitted to the Colonel. On application at the Bank one day last week, it appeared that no such stock as that- rnentionedin the'receipthad been transferred, and both the nameson the receipt were pronounced forgeries. The re- ceipt is nsw, in the possession of a gentleman of unquestionable re. spectability, whose name wve, nevertheless, do not feel it necessary, at present, to mention. On further search of the transfer books, it appeared thatfive:hunared pounds 4 per Cent. Stock had been trans- ferred into tlhe Colonel's name on thie day af'ter that on which the forgd receipt bore date.-Zvetnie?gpaper.
