Newton Abbot: The Late Arbitration: The recent case of arbitration between Mr. Bury, and the Messrs. Pinsent and Co. has been the topic of conversation during the past week amongst many of the tradesmen of the town. That many persons who have dealt with the defendants have been upon matters, of which they were previously ignorant, there can be no doubt; but, however much they have learnt during and since the investigation, the particulars of the result of the arbitration have been kept secret by the interested parties. The general version of the affair is that, on Friday morning, one side, fearing the consequences of certain secrets which were likely to be divulged, offered the other side an amount to settle the matter, — the condition being that the result should be kept strictly private. The offer was accepted; and both parties, like Cassius and Messala, shook hands in witness thereof, but probably not so sincerely. Rumour has it that Mr. Bury got the better of the settlement.

Forgery of a Boy: At Devonport, on Saturday last, Wm. Lucas, an errand lad in the employ of an upholsterer in that town, was committed for trial for having forged the name of “John Elliott,” grocer, to a bill for £40 drawn in favour of Daniel W. Stephens, Esq., surgeon of H.M.S. Basilisk, one of the Baltic Fleet. The bill was cashed at the shop of Messrs. Pinsent, and upon receiving the amount the prisoner treated some youthful companions to a ride to Plymouth fair, paid for their admission to places of amusement, etc. A day or two afterwards he purchased a gun and was out shooting with a companion when he was apprehended. The prisoner, at the time of being taken into custody, passed a bag containing £33 over to his companion, which was subsequently restored to Messrs. Pensent. It is not known how the boy obtained possession of the bill, though he himself says that he picked it up in the street.
