The persons implicated are a London merchant named Edgeley, and a Frenchman named, Develliers, who has lately been residing at Bromley, in Kent, and who was arrested at Dieppe. The bills of exchange said to be forged .and issued, represent no less a sum than £108,000^ of which sum it is alleged the Leeds' Backing Company (which lately suspended payment) has been defrauded. The case was heard at some length agaiust the Frenchman and adjourned. Edgeley is not yet in custody. The great pedestrian Schafer has arrived in. • Melbourne. He walked the whole distance f: ora Syduey.
