These Sessions commenced th's day 'at the Justice Ilan, in the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Hoist()YD, Mr. Justice GAZELEE. the LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, Alder &c. The total number of prisoners for trial is one hundred . and seventy. FEMALE ROBBERS. Mary Lloyd and Mary Larkin were put to the bar, on an indictment, charging them with assaulting on the 14th of November last, Daniel Allen, and taking hom his person a gold pin and h. 6d. in silver, eitc. his pro; erty. The lacts of this case, as sworn to-hy the prosecutor, were, that on the evening of the day in question, he was passing through Chesterfield-street, when one of the prisoners forcibly drew him into the house, the door of which was open, and their both prisoners robbed him of the property in question, accompany ing it with violence. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. PRENDERGAST conducted the case for the defence, and called a witness named Peter Hill, who swore that he had heard the prose-' cutor state that he might have dropped the pin. This was denied by the prosecutor most solemnly. The witness also swore positively, that when the prisoners were committed by the Magistrates, the charge only amounted.to an assault. The *nom was very closely cross-ezamined by Mr. BRODRICK, who elicited from him that he was the friend if Larkins, whom he had known from a child; a4u.l that he had moved into-the very lodgings the pri soners bad occupied on theday following the robbery. Mr. Justice HOLAOYD summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoners—Not Godly. NEW COURT. (Before the common Sesawe*.) RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY. Benjamin Wolfe, an elderly man, was ind'ete3 for receiving 24. , ifit shawls, and 17 yards of woollen cloth, the property (.1 Zachariah Langley and others, his partners, the prisoner well knowing the same to have been stolen, and for w hich offence two persons were tried and convicted at the last Sessions. Mr. BRODRICK, who conducted the prosecution, rose, and informed the Jury, that in this case he bid no rrahnce to adduce against the prisoner, and conse queltly he w as entitled to his discharge. The Jury instantly found him Not Guilty. Martha Baker was indicted for stealing swo sheets, and a pair of boots, value 20s. from the house of Mrs. Hannah Moore, of May's-buildings, St. Martin's-Jane, on the 20th of December last. The prosecutriz not appearing when coiled, the pri soner was discharged,and the Common Serjeant ordered tire recognizance* of the prosecutriz to be entreated. (Afore the Racomma.) STEALING IN A DWELLING•HOUSE. Thomas Lushington, aged 32, stood indicted for stealing a silver watch, ribbon, and key, value 20s. the property el Mr. R. Sunman, on the I2th of November last. It appearec. from the evidenCe, that the prisoner had gone into the prosecutor's house, in Warwick-rows Pimlico, and informed his wife that he and his mister had just come to town ; their washer-woman being dead, he intended to recommend her to wash for them; he begged, at the same time, to dry his stocking at the fire, which she readily agreed to, but he only remained these a few minutes before he left the room, slamming the door after him. Mrs. Sunman instantly missed the watch, and pursued the prisoner. The watch was af terwards found near the spot. The RECORDER summed up the evidence, and the Jury instautly found the prisoner Guilty. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Yesterday evening, Colman's Opera of Inkk and York o was revived, but with little novelty in the cast. Miss TREE was the !te nant, and played very well : it is a part just adapted to her talents. COOT= was the representative of the scan and pitiful Inkk, and he got through his task with considerable ability. FARRIN'B Sir Christopher Cory is not near so good as Micron's ; but who can get in a passion like DOWTON ? The best played cha facter in the pi ece was T ru d ge; F A wcz re s performance or it Was not much inferior to the best efforts of his lounger days. The House was crowded. The Committee for the Relief of the Spanish and Da nn Refugees, met yesterday at Guilsiliall, to investigate t he. case of the sufferers . They had time only to In quire into the Italian claims. The petitions of the Spa surds will be considered another day.

A stranger to hod; countries might, perhaps, Conceive that England and France were nearly on a par,.in point of scientific improveMent ; hut we find, in the Fifth Re port on Artisans and Machinery, convincing proof of the backward state of the latter country. James Leever, an E'iglish cotton-carder, who went from Manchester to work at M.Joly's manufactory, at St. Quentin; says the state of the machinery there was " the same as it had been in England thirty years before;" our present ma chines " would do more in twelve hours than theirs in twenty ;" and the yarn which they produced WAS " quite inferior to that called the bad article in England." Mr. James Dunlop gives nearly the same account of the American manufactories. He says, comparing the American cotton factories with those of Scotland, " I think they are in a similar state to what we were thirty years ago." • p:or is thil difference observable only be tween different countries, but even between the en lightened. parts of an enlightened country. Manchester and Glasgow, for instance, are both places of great trade, and very far advanced in manufacturing s 011.; but Mr. Houldsworth, a great cotton spinner and machine maker of the latter place, says, " the best mills of Glasgow are three or four years behind those of Manchester ;" and one cause to which lie attributes the difference is very remarkable. " I could have pur chased the machinery," says he, "in Manchester, at as low a price; but the expense of carriag e tpon the heavy and bulky parts of it would have enanced the price greatly to me in Glasgow." Another very important observation is, " that where machinery and tools exist in the greatest perfection, more work will be produced in the same time, and the wages of the operatives will be proportionably higher. The London mechanics have, higher wages thaw those of Manchester, because they possess better tools; and in Manchester the wages are higher than in Glasgow, for the same reason." EDINBURGH, JANUARY 10. The proprietors of the burnt houses in the Parliament Square, and down as far as the Royal Bank Close, have been served with maces to state the value they would be willing to accept - for their property, and whether, in the event of the price being objected to, they will sub mit to the award of a Jury, without more formal pro• ceedings ? This step is preparatory to the erection of various new buildings in the Square, the plan of which w•e believe is settled, or nearly so. The of of justice employed to pursue the robbers 'of the Siring mail coach, along the western road to, London, have returned unsuccessful. Murray, there.' fore, is the only one of the supposed gang, who is in custody. That person continues to preserve the 'ap pearance of good spirits, and is quite indignant at his confinement. The railway between Montrose and Brechin, which was the subject of much discussion some time ago, is to be c,rmmenced as soon as the necessary arrangements tan be completed. Colintrinvion.—We have another combination in Ayrshire to record, and, in this instance, as in some others, it has been accompanied with outrage and the destruction of property: There are a number of coil works in the neighbourhood of Irvine, and the only way at present taken of conveying the coals to the vessels at the harbour is by carts. The carters con ceiving their payment for this work too low, insist for fourpence additional a cart, and in order to compel their employers to comply with .their wishes, they have combined and struck work. The combination, it seems, was not universal. A sew of the carters still performed the work on the former terms. These per sons, of course, became obnoxious to those with whom they did not join, and, at once to terrify them from their quiet course, and bereave them of the instru ments of their labour, on the night of the 15th ult. some of those who hid entered into the spirit of the combination proceeded to their houses, took away six carts, and broke them to pieces, throwing the frag ments into the water of Irvine. A precognition of the circumstances was taken, and four persons have been sent to prison to stand trial. A seizure was made on H,astings beach, by those active officers the Collector and Comptroller of the Port, on the 7th inst. of the logger Ann, and her cargo, consisting of ninety-four bales of tobacco, and sixteen bags of tea ; these contraband articles welt so well con cealed under a platform, as to escape the •igilance of the Coast Blockade, who examined the lugger before the Collector and Comptroller. Railways, Canals, Roads, &c. may in a national point of view he considered as task for the general in dustry, and if we can improve those tools more than our neighbours, our industry will obtain better wages than theirs; but it is to be observed, that we are al. ] ready before them in these particulars, and the effect, of this circumstance is ♦ery simply stated by Mr. GasENwoon— •r If two men start, one in a state of lameness, and the other whole, there is no doubt how the race will end ; and that is the state of the French and us at this time; there is no danger of our being overtaken. When the Opera House at Stockholm was on fire, the life of the King, who was present, was saved by the presence of mind of Madame Kayser, an actress. Al ready the machinery at the end of the stage was in flames, without the audience knowing of it ; when Ma dame Kayser gradually approached the royal bex, without interrupting her singing or action. At first she made signs to the King, who did not understand her ; she then, seizing a favourable m4.ment, said to him in a low voice, .4 Lea%e the Theatre, Sire, it is oa fire." The King instantly quitted the house; when, after giving him time to escape the crowd, she vocifeT rated/re! and gaining her box threw herself out of a window, which not being very high from the ground, she escaped without injury.

ATLESSURt t JAIktUARN 111, • The prisoner, Glades I.lmu, has been Visited since his confinement in this gaol by the Marquis 411 Chan dos, Lord Nugent,Lord C tiring:on, Sir George Dash wood King, and several other persons of distinction in thecounty, and every mein% have been used, consistent with the situation of the prisonee,toobtain from him not only the motive that induced him to murder hi, friend and companion, but also to '. b ta i n some clue _ _ that might lead to a discovery of the fate of Mangan,' Messrs. Burnet?' postman. - Mrs. Lynn, mother of the prisoner, arrived here or. Tuesday evening, with one of her daughters, and repaired to the White Hart lon. next the prison. Monday night, Mr. George De.vall, a young man in the hou e of Sir Robert Biii :Act and Cu. an intimate acquaintance of the deceased, as well as of *the prisoner, arrived here, hearing a letter from Mrs. Lynn, entreating him to relieve the dreadful anrety of the relatives of Mangan, by acknowledging all he knevi l as to the absence of that individual ; and he sen word that he should see him (if permittrd) on the following day. Tuesday m•.rning, about 12 o'clock, ►Mr. Devall was admitted to see the pi in).,er. lie elk• tered the cell with the letter in his hand : the prisoner advanced towards him seemingly surprise I. and ex claimed, •4 Alt! George,. how d'ye do ? Why didn't you being my sister with you? It was very kind to come and see me r and then shook him by the hat* heartily. In the afternoon, Mts. Lynn and her daugh:et were introduced to the prisoner. His mother entreated him to make a candid disclosure to her of the cause he had for destroying-Abraham I-l Age. The pawner then ' detailed, somewhat wildly, the following 'roost singular starrative: " I and Abraham went to the Saracen's Head Inn yard, Snowhill, and got upon the Liverpool coach. I saw two men in deep conversation with him, and two Gentlemen were on the coach ; the two men who spoke with Abraham I knew to be resurrection-men, and I was convinced that Abraham was agreeing to sell my body to them for the surgeons, two of who were on the coach. Just before the coach started, one of the resurrection-men, who was dressed like a sailor, got a bottle of gin, and on the road they wanted me to drink two gla,ses for their one, The men afterwards threw the bottle away, and purchased another on the road ; 1 and Abraham got down at the White Lion, at Brickhill, and the landlord and others were talking about robbe ries and murders; I did's% like the conversation, and I went to the public-house opposite, and slept there that night. On the following morning, I went to the White Lion, and the landlord• said to me, I It is lucky for you that you were not up sooner, or your body would have been half way back to London by this time.' I got on another coach with Abraham, and, passing by a com mon, I jumped down and ran away ; Abraham fol -11 lowed with my gun. When I got near a wood, I heard the sounds of horns and trumpets, and I thought the resurrection-men were after me, and that Abraham in tended to kill me ; and I am sure, if I had not killed him, he would have killed me." His mother then raid—" What have.you done with your money ? You know I gave you five guineas when you left me." He abruptly said, " Oh, I have given it all away." She said, " You know you bad your poor father's watch, which you declared • you would not part withz-what hese you done with it?" He answered, " They have taken that from me." The prisoner then observed, that he had begun to write to his mother the whole particulars, and to re quest her to come and see him, and he took up the let ter and thrust it in the fire. The priioner declared most solemnly. that he knew nothing whatever of Mangan. There being no evidence taken before the Coroner to identify the body of the deceased, it became necessary, for the ends of justice, that some of the relatives should see it before its interment. Accordingly, George Hogg, a brother of the deceased, and Mr. Tier, a brother-in law, residing in Kennington-lane, Lambeth, storied from town for that purpose. The funeral was to have taken place-on Tuesday, but as they did not get down till late in the evening of that day, it was feared; on their ar rival at Aylesbury, that the interment had taken place. They had exhausted their finances in travelling, and having 15 miles to go to Whaddon, they made their situation known to Sir George Dashwood King, who advanced them money to pay for postchaise and Ind dental expenses, observing that there would be no op position, under such circumstances, to the charge being paid out of the county rate. Sir George gave them a letter of introduction to Mr. Lowndes, the Magistrate, requesting that the bearer might see the body. They arrived at Whaddon at nine o'clock on Tuesday night, and were,accompanied by Mr. Lowndes and the con stables to the Church, where the body was lying in a shell,, in the aisle. On the lid being taken off, George Hogg was much affected on viewing the mangled re mains of his brother. He said that he could swear po sitively to its being his brother's corpse. It appears that Hogg and the prisoner booked their places in the Li verpool coach in a fictitious name, the day before they left London: A coat was left by Hogg at his lodgings, in Glasshouse-street, Vauxhall, on his quitting London, in the pocket of which was subsequently found the fol lowing receipt: " Mr. Smith, two outs for Liverpool, at ball-past six o'clock in the morning, paid 10s. to pay £3 10s. by the Tallyho coach, on Wednesday. (Signed) " hi. J." This document was brought to Aylesbury by the brother George, and shewn to the prisoner by Collins, the turnkey, who asked him if he knew anything of it ?. The prisoner, on looking at it, after some hesitation, said, " I know nothing about it." The paper was then returned to Mr. Tier. The last few days the prisoner . has been quite cairn, and sleeps soundly at night. He is constantly watched ; but in consequence of his com posed manner, the strait waistcoat with which he was bound at first has been taken off. This afternoon, at three o'clock, be tig appointed for the interment of the body of the muracred man, in Whaddon church-yard, a considerable number of persons residing at Whaddoni Winslow, and the adjoining villages, assembled. The, parochial officers were present, when the bully was re-- moved, on the ishoulders ()flour men, from the interior of the church to the grave which had been prepa. ed in the chinch-yard. During the reading of the funeral service over the corpse by the clergyman of the parish, the most profound attention was paid to the solemn ce remony. The coffin was made of oak., and the in scription was as follows Abraham Hogg, died Ja nuary 6, 1825, aged 26." The absence of Mangan, the postman to Sir R. Bur nett and Sons, still remains a mystery. Nolutther in formation has been obtained, although those Gentlemen have sent persons in different urrections to make every possible search. They have also sent a person down to Aylesbury, to receive from the miserable Lynn any in- - . •. e r- t 0.9 ", ~,,r .Fir s• 1 . * .. : „ • • `Whaled he may be able and willing to give inverting him. • There is no (Greet circumstance-that at Aeon nects the absence of Mangan with the murder of ttogg. On the Tuesday afternoon, Lynn was ottt with some of the estahli‘hment of - 84 R Burnett, it is sui•pbsed, to make implities respecting; Mangan, anti On other !nisi nesi for the horse. Lynn returned horn, to his mother's ;omit nine o'clock. and was yes y much intoricated.— ' Ile went to bed in the shop, where he usually slept. and Where Hogg most afterwards have j fined him, which appears to have been no unusual thing. both having been long on terms of ititamacy, and having- occasion ally slept together before. About two o'cl'ock in the morning fie went to his aunt's room door and -asked for a light. His aunt came to the door. brought a light, and obsto ye, a pistol in his hand. Slie set earned, awl he instantly tiropt it. This alarm brought the sister, who slept is the adjoining room, to her door, to inquire • what was the matter ? Lynn said be • wanted a light, and had been ” having some fun with his aunt:' The sister then observing Hogg was there, insisted upon, his leaving the house, and shortly alter he did go. Lynn went down and went to bed. Some time afterwards his sister went down stairs, and found he was in bed. At the usual hour of rising she again went his tact; ent dow la n, ; besaw her brother in bed, and put her hand upon said, " Let me alone, let me lie a little longer : it is the last time I shall sleep here." On her asking what he meanty he re lied, Oh, what have! done! have I not done enough?" arid then expressed his determination to leave his'itome. The aunt shortly afterwards came down stairs, when Lynn said, 6 6 Aunt, I hope you'll let what is pa t be forgotten; you shall never see me again, if you will give me a little money to go with." . The aunt replied, 14 Give you money I no, 1 had rather give you a halter to hang yourself with." He appeared then fully determined to go away, and all the persuasions of his mother and his two sisters could not alter his resolve. They then packed up some shirts, and other apparel for him, and his sister gave him £5 in money. The gun he had brought with him he told her she might sell; this she refused to do, and he eventually took it with him ; he then went out, and after, as is supposed, calling upon Hogg,. returned, and saying he should go to Liverpool -to get work, took leave of them, and departed. No motive, these fote, appears for the horrible affair in Whaddon Chase. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING. • The Bing's fox-hounds mot on Thursday morning, at Longwood, bear Lapton, and soon started a fox, which afforded much amuse ment to the numerous sportsmen present ; it was ultimately killed after a severe run, but few of the sportsmen were in at the death. Monday, the Cottessisere bounds met at Market Overton. There was a capital field of sportsmen, there being upwards of 9do horse men present. The hounds threw off at Woodville Head, and al most immediately unkennelled a fox. The bounds ran in fine style. Reynard made first towards Teigh, at a rapid pace; from thence be made for Wymondhans; after leaving Wymoodham, the fox made for Whissendine, leaving it on the left; from thence acrots the Melton Mowbray and Oakham road. near Somerby, to Barrow Hills. In this distance it it impossible to convey any idea of the state of the country ; it was with much difficulty tbehorsemen could keep wit► the hounds. The fox dashed over Burrow Hill, skirted Thorpe Trussels, by Ivyford, over a severe country, by South Croxton, skirted Barkly Holt, when the bounds eartbed him at Barkly village, after a severe and capital burst of two hours and twenty minutes, one of the best runs of the season, and very few of the sportsmen lived to see the end of the day's sport. It was considered to be at least twenty miles from point to point, and the. , extent of country ran over was not far short of twenty-eight miles. HORSE RACE. A match of two milts, for 100 guineas, was run for over Haver fordwest- Coarse, on Tuesday se'nnight, between Captain Butler's b. g. Larry, and Mr. Laugharne's br. m. The Maid of Oporto, 11st. each. The race, which excited considerable interest, admirably contested tin within a few yards of the Stand, /Awn th.• horse shot ahead, and won by about a length. Odds at starting, two to one on the mare. _LEAPING MATCH. A Grand Leaping Match took place on Wednesday morning, between Daniel Gosling, Eq. of Cambridge, and Mr. J.
