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.

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.
