Yesterday Mr. Baron GRAHAM and Mr. Justice Bair arrived here about two o'clock, and after dining with the Very Reverend the Dean, proceeded to open the Commission. This morning, alter Divine Seerice, both Courts entered upon the business of the Assijes. The calendar ot prisoners is unusually small, Is tendins to only 44 in number, and by far the greater majority of cases of a comparatively trifling nature. Seven causes were disposed of this morning, of which the following is the only one possessing the slightest % degree of public interest: OIRINOHAM V. ROGERS AND OTHERS. Thiewas an action brought up by a silk-weaver, at, Whitchurch, in this county, against the defen dants' who are proprietors of the Tekgrapit Stage- Coach, from London to Southampton. The plaintiff in the course of his business was with his cart at the door of a shop in the High-street, at Basingstoke, a few ,yards from the Inn, at which the Tele4raph was chsneig horses. At setting off the near hind" wheel eaugAt ,the stock of the cart ; the consequence was, that ihe plaintiff was thrown out, the cart overturned, the plaintiff having his collar-bone, and two of the ribs broken. 'The case was fully proved, and the only defence opened by Mr. GAZELER, the defendant's. Counsel, was, that it was the result of accident, and not of carelessness. Before any witnesses were called for the defence, a verdict was taken by Counsel for One Hundred Pounds. _ _ Law being the business of this ancient city in more respects than one, it may not be amiss to notice, that the Judges had a 'Arrow escape of hearing divine service unattended as usual by the Corporation with tie Regalia. • It happened on Monday, that a se questration was enforced against the Corporation pr . perty generally, but not till the, return from q,nrch, when the Mace, itc. * etc. was impounded ytith the rest of tlit HERTFORD, JULY 11. The Home Circuit commenced here to day, before Arr. lustice PARK, or. the Civil Side, and Baron GAR• spw, on the Crown Side. In the former Court the number of causes el.tered for trial is eight, of which Only one is a Special Jury. The Calendar on the lat ter contains only twenty-two cases, none of which are Of a very heinous nature. CARTER AND ANOTIIER V. ANDERSON. I , ?his vas an action of trpvcr by she assignees of a bankrupt, named William Carter, to recover eight dozen of claret, which the defendant was alleged to have unlawfully converted to his own use. The case proved by the plaintiff's witnesses was in s'ibstance this :—The plaintiff Carter was the brother in .law, and Christmas, the other plaintiff; was an intimate friend of the bankrupt, who was originally reared a ca renter, but had afterwards- married a rich widow from The West Indies, named Anderson, the mother ;1 the defendant, a young man just of oge. The bankrupt, after his marriage, kept a town house, in Charlotte. street, Fitzroy-square, and a coon tor house at Brackley, near Stevenage, in this county, where tae defendant and his brothel Joseph were }weight up, under the care of their father-in-law. In the Year 1812 the bankrupt entered into a deed of eo-partnership with a philosophical and mathe m'aticil instrument-maker, named Jones, carrying on ,b4siness, first in Duke-street, Portman-square, and lat terly at Charing-cress ; and also had obtained a patent fo'r an instrument called a Scstograph. For about five years the bankrupt contl7...tcd in this partnership, anctuf . the year 1817, becoming insohret s z, a commis stoilwat taken out against him, which was supported by tie tiadi se thus described, an act of bankruptcy by his absconding to France,. and a petitioning cre ditor'i debt cor.tracted with ccsal-merchants in this town to the. amount of £125. After the messenger u . 'adiii:the Commission was in possession of the.bank rulici;amistry-house, the wine in question was taken po&•sg of by the dcfendAnt, unknown to the mes se'iger, and afterv - al - ds removed for sale to the rooms of an auctioneer, in London. Under these circum stances the present action was brought. Mr. Abotrnva, in his address to the Jury, sug gaited, that the commission against the bankrupt V. 46 a friendly one, remarking upon the. singular cit . , • cuiriStance, that one of his assignees was his brother in-law, and the other an intimate friend; the object or Use, action, lie contended, being, not to try. the paltirriOt to eight dozen of claret, but to evade an into the manner in which property to the apicauit 0f 100,0001. to which the defendant was en titlc4.an the death of his mother, was disposed of.-7 'The Learned Counsel, however, called no witnesses. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, f 9 4 .144 for t h e plaintiffs—Damages, Sig. About nine o'clock last Saturday night, Mr. Gatty, of East-street, lied Lion-square, was returning home from spending the afternoon at a friend's house, whelk v:ithin a short distance from his own house four men attacked him. One of them knocked him down, and the others then rifl e d his pockets or a I'ew shilliap aiiikbis watch, with which they escaped. A few sights ago, the house of Mr. Burmese. it NOrwbod, was entered by a gang of thieves, wise gained admission by placing a ladder against the 4awintroom window, and cutting out one of the vitiates of glass, by which means they could easily loosen the sash fastening. It is supposed there were five in the whole, as they drank several bottle:, ot, wine, aild had taken five clean glasses off the_side board. Between twelve and one o'clock on the mor- , ning of the robbery, four or five well-dressed pawns were seen about the neighbourhood, but looking like respectable men, their appearance excited no suspi cion. The thieves, after enjoying themselves a length at time on the premises, decamped with a quantity off' plate, cash, wearing-apparel, &c. Vednesday se'nnight, as Captain GARDINER was bathing at Maryport, he got out 'of his depth, and was Unfortunately drowned. His body was not found till 'lite the "same evening. • Captain ASHBRIDOE, VN) was in eieelpany with him, nearly shared the same. fate. ifiisteidef Xining, bet seen four and five o'clock, alarming.

Gurt.nautt....-Surruesits.p MeaTING.—In conse quence of the iionsive precautions taken by the Ma gistrats.and the)udicious arrangement of the police officed'abd constables to prevent not and confusion, but little disorder resulted from the meeting on Wednesday. Not a single person was in custody in the LORD MAYOR'S district yesterday, and but three on the list for this Justice Room, at all connected with that meeting, viz. James Robinson, John Cooke, and Edmond Butterworth. The two former were ap prehended by Thompson, one of the constables of St. Sepulchre's who observed them busy trying persons' pockets in ;he crowd, and at last saw Cooke pick a pocket of a handkerchief ; he was prudent enough not to seize him in the crowd, but suffered him to re• tire with Robinson, up Long-lase, when he followed, and with the, assistance of a journeyman painter, who had witnessed the theft, took them both into custody, and conveyed them quietly to the Cornpter ; the handkerchief, a silk one, marked I. A. was found on Cooke. The prisoners were remanded to Tuesday next. The prisoners are known thieves.—The other fellow Butterworth, was given in charge to Dare, an officer, during the meeting, by several Gentlemen, one o f whom detected the prisoner's band in his pocket ; but as none of the parties appeared against' him, and no property was found upon him, he was discharged, with an admonition from the Magistrate. The Ray. MR. HARRISON.-...A little after eleven o'clock, Mr. Arthur Thistlewood entered the Office, I land addressing Mr. Teague, the keeper of Giltspur street Compter, said he wished for an order to see Mr. Harrison, who had been arrested on a s; arrant from the Magistrates at Stockport, backed by the Lon° MAYOR, during the meeting on Wednesday,, and lodged in the Compter. Mr. Teague said there was no objection, but it was necessary he should give his name. On his mentioning his name, Mr. Teague , hesitated, and referred the application to the Magis trate, adding, that every thing had been done to render Mr. Harrison's. situation as comfortable as possible; he bad been visited by his friends, and had expressed himself satisfied with the attention That had been paid him. a But, Sir," said Mr. Thistlewood, a I wish to bail him." Mr. Teague replied, that was impossible—bail had been 'offered, and refused by the Loam MAYost on Wednesday, on the ground of the wording of the warrant, which directed the offi cers to bring the prisoner before them, the signing Magistrates.—Mr. Thistlewood said, " I beg you, pardon ; you will find he can be bailed : am I to' understand you refuse to let me see him Mr. Teague said, it was with the Magistrate to give ar.' order.—Mr. Alderman NIAGNAV observed, that as the warrant had been backed by the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Harrison kept in custody by his authority, he would rather not interfere ; and advised Mr. Thistle. wood to apply at the Mansion House, where he would find his Lordship then sitting. Mr. Thistlewood bowed and retired, but returned shortly afterwards, his Lordship being from home on a water excursion. The Alderman expressing no further disinclination, Mr. Teague left the Office, and accompa: s tied Mr. Thistlewood himself to the Compter. HArroN GARDEN. —Henry Bailey was charged by Francis Fegan, a constable, with being very acme in the mob in Smithfield, on Wednesday evening, excit ing them to acts of riot and disorder, and encourag ing them to beat and maltreat the constables, in which he took a very active part. The complainant stated, that he saw the prisoner and several others attack a constable of Saint Pancras, whom they sin gled out ; that the prisoner knocked him down and cut his hand dreadfelly, by forcing the truncheon out of it, it being attached to his hand by a small rope; that the prisoner then threw the truncheon aniongst the crowd, and took the umbrella from him whilst down, and that several of his companions whilst he was down jumped and trampled upon him: the constable, v hose name the complainant did not know, was so dreadfully beat, that he was carried to Saint Bartholomew's Hospital fur surgical assistance. Witness, noticing the activity of the prisoner, kept his eye upon him until he got assistance, and then he took him into custody, and found the umbrella upon him, which the prisoner took from the constable. On searching the prisoner's pockets, he found two pair of gentle:heti:gloves, two bad shillings, and a bad half crown, no good money_ but three halfpence, The prisoner sli d, he was a groom out of place; that he happened to he a casuaFpassenger, then he was at tacked by the: complainant and other constable; without the smallest provocation, as they did several others, who only came to hear the Ilorators! John Shearing, a notorious character, well known to tie officers, was charged by George Jones, another constable, with being a very active leader in the riot, striking several constables, and calling out to the mob to " go it, go it." J. Colville, a journeyman baker, was also charged by Thomas Bell, a constable, with striking him in the execution of his duty, and being very assiduous in promoting a riot, and exciting the mob to beat the constables, many of whom were desperately beaten. Mr. flail, High-constable for the Holborn division, stated, that he was in Saint John -street, with a large posse of constables under his command, for the pre servation of the peace ; that there was no appearance of riot or disorder at five o'Opck, when the Smith field Meeting broke up ; but 'that a gang of about fifty bad characters, for the sake of committing plun der, strove to excite the mob to acts of riot and out rage, and that the constables, in their endeavours to disperse them, were dreadfully beaten ancrill used. None of the persons who were injured being present to prefer their charges, the prisoners were separately reprimanded, and then discharged. tittroasH44l..—Brook Crt i npox was brought to thil Office yesterday, and examined before Mr. ALLEsi, charged with having feloniously entered the house of Mr. Simmons, thisign of the Duchess of York, Kent road, —lt 40.41;0 from the evidence of Mrs. Sim mons, * rye proseutor, that she had occa sion to go to her bed-room (which is a back room up one pair of stairs) amd.that on entering the room she found the window open, which she had leit shut-- She, however, thought her husband might have been in the room wed opened tb, window, which she imf mediately shut, and drew the curtain, in doing which she raised the candle &little, and.at that wasupent saw a man pass her and make towaeds the ,door. She in, sturdy collared the man and,ipwe an alarm, still keeping hold s until she was . logged down essecal steps of the stairs, when the man disengaged himself, and ran out of the house. Mr. Simmons heird his wife call for assistance, and went to Isar stid,when he learnt a thief had been in the bed-room, and had' made his escape. Mr. Simmons then pursued, and called " Step thief when the prisoner who was running, was secured by the watchman, and taken to the watch-house, where be was searched, and on his person was found a paper containing 10s. in copper, 14s. 6d. in silver, together with a watch, all of which had been taken from a wardrobe in the bed-room, and which were identified as the property of Mr. Simmons ; it is supposed the prisoner had entered the house by the bed-room window. Mr. Simmons was robbed a short time ago of cash to a very great amount, in a similar way.—Fully committed. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Clayton Arms, Clayton-street, Kennington-Common ' on the body of Mrs. Baron. On Friday afternoon, It. Staring lelt his waistcoat and some other things in care of the deceased, whilst he went to play at cricket on the Common. When he returned to her house the things were missing, and she accused an Irish woman who had been there of taking them awry. Staring be lieved the Irish woman was innocent, and he insisted upon getting his things from the deceased, or he would expose her. The deceased was very much frightened, and was instantly taken ill. She conti-. nued to get worse till next morning, when she died. She had previously enjoyed a good state of health.— Verdict—Died by the visitation of Goa. Wednesday an Inquisition was taken at the Anchor and Hope public house, Charlotte-street, Blackfriars road, on the body of a young man; named Ward. The deceased had for some time been attached to a young woman of respectable connections, and their . union was fixed to take place next Sunday. It was the wish of all parties that the ceremony should take 1 place at Fulham ; and on Monday evening the de ceased, accompanied by a young man named Heffel, and another, took a boat and went to Fulham, to give the Parish Clerk notice to be in readiness to re ceive them. Having performed this duty, they took some refreshment, and again embarked to return; but in coming down Chelsea or Battersea Reach, the boat was drawn by the suction of the current under a large barge, and the young men, being unskilled in its management, could not move it, till the decea sed grit to the head of the barge, and, pushing it with violence, succeeded in clearing off the boat, but the jerk was so sudden that he could not recover himself, and he was pitched iuto the water and drowned. The young woman, his intended bride, on hearing the news of his death, became delirious, and his relations are inconsolable.—Verdict—Acci *Wally dnatined. A few days since, a mower, in the employ of Mr. Ellis, of Whatingbery. in Kent, unfortunately trod upon the dole of his scithe, as it was lying upon the ground, when the blade flew up, and cut the hinder parts of his thighs in a dreadful manner, having com pletely divided the muscles and sinews, and the poor man must speedily have bled to death, had not a sur geon been nigh at hand, who dressed his wounds un der the most excruciating pain. Should he survive the effects of the accident, which is very doubtful, he will be a cripple for the remainder of his life. Last week, as Mr. &Lunn PROSSZR, of Talgarth, Breconshire, was employing some labouring men in draining a piece of fallow, they found several small serpents, three feet under the surface of the ground, nine inches in length, and about the size of common whipcord, of a grey colour, and some quite white ; three days afterwards, 15 more of them rose out of the spring, but soon died in the air. • The following extract from the confession of Isaac erisorne, IAII9 was executed at Buffalo, New York, on the 4th of April last, for the murder of his wife;_ six children, and two servants, cannot be read with out exciting sentiments of horror and astonishment at the commivion of so unnatural and demoniacal a crimes 44 On the night of the 24th of March last, I was at the Buffalo Tavern, until it was about one o'clock, playing at cards, drinking, swearing, and committing all the sin and wickedness which this kind of com pany are in the habit of doing. By this time my head began to swim with the effects of ardent liquors, so much so, that I could scarcely make my way home. I was just entering the gate of my house, when I re ceived a blow on the head with a billet of wood, from the force of which I fell prostrate on the ground, and lay almost senseless for some minutes : when I awoke from my delirium, I began to consider, and thought that such conduct from a wife was too much to let pass unnoticed; I therefore was determined to have revenge upon her, and in the space of halt an hour, as near as 1 can recollect, I endeavoured, with the stun of my wound, to crawl towards the house, and the more is the pity, for the first thing that presented itself to my view was the wood are! and being now prepared, like a butcher going to slaughter, I came to the bed where my wife and three children were lying. I did not hesitate one moment, began to cut and slash among these four, while they lay sleepint; the first was my wife; the axe was buried in her bosom ! the children clung so close to her that they were cut to pieces, and by this time the bed was doverflowed with human gore ; the sound of these distressed suf ferers alarmed my other three children—alas! what must have been my feelings at this time ? they began to be much confused; but I still pursued my slaugh ter until my wife and six children lay floating in their blood. The savage heart is never satisfied : after com mitting this horrid act upon my own flesh and blood, my two servants became the objects of my butcher ing heart ; they had some suspicion of my intention, and endeavoured to make their escape through a back window in the lower part of the house— the old black woman being half in and bailout, I ran with my axe and cut her - legs off as she was going out of the window ; her daughter, who had a tender feeling for her mother, came to me and implored , mercy from my hand ; but no, the Devil would not let my savage soul stop here, but I immediately put an end to their existence ; this being done, there then lay nine innocent persons floating in their own crim son gore. Still not being satisfied with what I had already done, I first took the two servants and built a fire in the kitchen fire place, which was large enough to hold half a quarter of wood, then placing the wo man on the back part of the fire, and the daughter on the front, I then went up stairs and brought down the bodies of my wife and children and burnt them likewise !!
