BANK OF ENGLAND FORGERIES.—TIVO men named Westwood and Stevenson underwent an examinetioo on Thursday at the police office. Bristol, upon a charge of being Concerned in forging and uttering two £.lO noted of the Bank of England. It appears that the two prisoners went to Bristol a few days since, and.took lodgings at, the Birmingham Arms tavern, near the railway terminus, living as companions, occupying the same bed, and going out and returning together. On Tuesday evening Westwood went to the shop of a woollen draper' named Long, in High-street, where, haying purchased blankets to the value of ..t.! 6s. 6d., he gave is payment a £lO note of the Bank of England, receiving the proper change aguinst it. After he had left, Mr. Long looked carefully at the note, and not being quite satisfied of its g,ennineness sent to the Bank of England, where he ascertained that it was a forgery. Within a quarter of an hour the sanie prig 'ler went to the Omit of :Stems Walsh and Co., outfitters, where he selected a coat and waistcoat, and tendered another kW note. During the deal, however, Stevenson had entered and quitted the shop, and the glances which passed between the parties excited the suspicions of the shopman, who sent the note to the bank, and, having found that it was ferged, secured the man. Stevenson was afterwards captured with a good deal of money in his possession, and it being suspected that the prisoners form part of a gang, they have been remanded to give time for ins quiry.  -- An affray between smugglers and officers of the coast guard took place a few days since off the Hampshire coast. One of the sinuzzlers was drowned. and his body washed ashore; the others have not since been heard of.  The two concerts at which Mdlle.
