ENGLAND.  Money Orders—General Post Office, Aug. 1848.—1. The advice. of money orders granted on the chief office meat hereafter be transmitted to that office separate from all other advices; and in order to ensure this, care must be taken to tie them up securely in a distinct packet. 2. In granting money orders, and in advising of the same, one Christian name in full for either the payer or the remitter will henceforward be sufficient, instead of all the Christian rum.* being furnished in full, as hitherto required. By ognunand, Rowland Hill, secretary to the Postmaster-Genet'aL—Aforning Chronicle. The late Forgery on Messrs. Fleury ,k Co—lntelligence has been brought by the American packet Europa, which came into Liverpool on Sunday morning, that the parties implicated in the late forgery on the Manchester Arm, in which Mr. Alexander Henry, M.P., is the principal partner, and by which £3,000 was obtained from the Bank of England branch, are in custody at St. John, Newfoundland, and an arrangement had been made with the Manchester police force to send a police inspector over to convey the 'prisoners to England for trial. It was said that about £l,BOO was found upon them, and if this is the fact the authorities will have prat enough upon the transaction to pay for the expense of bringing the prisoners to this country and their prosecution; because it may be recollected, at the time, .£1,600 of the ..£3,000 was recovered through the shrewdness of a clerk at Messrs. Cunliffes & Btooks's bank. A grand agricultural congress will be held in Brussels in September. We made mention some time ago of two vessels having been fitted out at Hull for the cod fishing in Davis' Straits, and we now regret to learn that they have been very unsuccessful.  Lighting the New Houses of Partiament.—On Thursday night, the 17th inst., experiments for the purpose of testing a new system of gas burners, with which it is proposed to light the interior of the new Houses of Parliament, were made in Trafalgar Square, before a committee, and Mr. Barry, the architect. A branch, containing eight burners for consuming common gas, was introduced into the reflector at the south-east corner of the square, and which threw a most brilliant light, by which smallprint could be read at 40 paces. The result was considered satiefactory.—Globs. Apprehension of a Supposed Chartist, strnted.—A man, upon whose person a dagger was observed, was taken into custody on Monday night, close by the members' entrance of the House of Commons. He flourished the weapon in a threatening manner when questioned by the police, big was prevented from doing any mischief with it, and was taken to the station-house.  Capture of Another Chartist Delegate—On Saturday night another of the delegates, named William Dowling, was captured by the police, and, after a brief examination at Bow Street on Monday, was remanded to the 31st instant, when he will be brought up with.the other prisoners. TAe Chartist Plot.—Amongst the fire-balls, cartridges, &c., seized by the police at the lodgings of some of the Chartists lately arrested, are some missiles of a diabolical character. They consist of a packet, somewhat square in form, covered with brown paper, and filled with nails, pieces .of &on, and coarse gunpowder. Attached to each is a fusee of cotton which leads to the powder. When ignited the packet would in half a minute explode and kill or seriously injure any one near. These missiles, it is supposed, were to have been thrown intothe windows of houses the night the ringleaders were apprehended. - . -  Muriar of an Exylisli Labourer by Irish Reapers.—On Friday the county coroner at the village of Heapaide, near Albsustereleee4-4be lidfairy rebsdve of quiet, inoffensive labourer, named John Swain, who died from thesbrutal violence of a gang of six Irishmen who had been employed harvesting in the neighbourhood.
