SENtE N C E this morning, as soon as the Ile&utustt tonic his seat on the Bench, his Lordship proceeded to pass the awful sentence of the law upon the following individuals: Dwegu—Joseph Wilson, James Stevens, Samuel Hunt, George Welder, Patrick Crawley, William Snook, and Henry Durbam,for burglaries; I%lary Conner, Elizabeth Daley, Mary Smith, Ann Maloney, James Meads, Charles Wood, Benjamin Wilson, Ann Margaret Wright, otherwise Lock, John Norton, and William Martin, for stealing in a elweiling•house ; Cornelius Wood, for a 'rape; James Duell, for a highway robbery; Henry Patton, for sheep-stealing; and James Lennard, for uttering counterfeit money, he having before been convicted for a similar offence. To IitIIANSPOSTED Fos Ltra—John Clark, Elizabeth Lewis, Charles Fuller, and Elizabeth ]lesser. Thirty-five were sentenced to seven years' transportation. Four were sentenced to be imprisoned for two years in the House of Correction, and a numerous list of others, from one to Ifi months' confinement in the same jail, and kept to hard labour. On five individuals the judgment of the Court was respited until next Sessions. The Proclamation was then read, and the Sessions adjourned until the 17th of February next. Yesterday, Ann Butler, was indicted for obtaining 3s. by false pretences, with intent to defraud John Hill.— Guilt y. John Worley, aged 30, a respectable-looking man, was indicted for obtaining, by false pretences, a quan tity of cheese, value 4/ .11s. 6d. the property of W. Car rington, with intent to defraud him.—Guilty. Wm. Kilpatrick, aged 19 years, was indicted for stealing a number of gold seals, chains, keys, and other jewellery, the property of his master, Mr. M'Beth, a jeweller, in Ryder's-court, Leicester-square. Mr. BRODRICK said, that the capital part of the charge had been given up, for, though the rroperty stolen was to a great amount, yet he had not evidence to prove that it was all stolen at one time. Mrs. *Beth stated, that on the 16:1a of December, she was cleaning the shop, and struck against a box of the prisoner's, which by some accident was open, and therein were found articles of jewellery, the property of her husband, and also duplicates of articles pawned at different pawnbrokers' in the neighbourhood, which were found to be the property of her husband. J• Smith, a shopman to Mr. Harrison, a pawnbroker, produced a ring, seal, key, and locket, pledged by the prisoner on the 23d of November. Mr. PHILLIPS, for the prisoner, said, how could you take such things from a person of such youthful ap. pearance ? Witness—He gave a good account of him self, and I had seen him before. Mr. PHILLIPS—That circumstance ought to have made you more suspicious, and you ought not to have taken in new articles without some inquiry. Mr. M'Beth identified die property produced. A number of witnesses were called, who gave the pri soner a good character. Mr. Serjeant ARABlN—Before I state the case to the Jury, I feel it to be my duty to do that now which mliy not be so easy to do hereafter—a great deal of property has been pawned at different pawnbrokers' by the pri soner, and it must he given up to the prosecutor: A number of pawnbrokers delivered up property, and it was identified by the prosecutor. Mr. PHILLIPS—ReaIIy, it is a shame such a quan tity of valuable property should have been taken into pawn from such a boy ; and they fully deserve to lose the money they advanced on it. Mr. Serjeant ARAB'S sommed up the case, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty of Larceny. A Gentleman, with whom the prisoner formerly lived, stated to the Court, that the prisoner bad pawned property of his of considerable value, and the pawn brokers refused to give it up, without an order from the Court. Mr. PHILLIPS said, that the prisoner should plead Guilty to the indictment, to save the time of the Court, and thereby compel the pawnbrokers to give up the property.—The pawnbrokers then delivered up a vast quantity of jewellery.—The prisoner being removed from the bar, the prosecutor recommended him to the mercy of the Court. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN said, that the prisoner might think himself fortunate that the capital part of the charge was given up, and that the recommendation could not avail the prisoner. NEW COURT. Henry Durham and James Linton were indicted for burglariously breaking into the house of Mr. Frazer, in Norfolk-greet, Strand, on the 28th of November last. It may be recollected, that at the last Old Bailey Ses sions, a man named Levi Abrahams, was tried and con victed of the above offence, and is at present under sen tence of death. The facts which were proved upon Abra ham's trial were, that on the 28th of November, be tween twelve and one o'clock in the morning, the female servants of Mr. Frazer were alarmed by a noise in the house. They opened the parlour window, and screamed, which brought the watchman to the spot. Abrahams was taken by the watchman in the area, where were found three centre-bits, a dark lantern, and a crow-bar. ' It appeared that the kitchen window had been forced open by the - crow-bar. A little dog was found in the kitchen, with its throat cut. The following evidence was brought forward on the present occasion against the prisoners : Rebecca 1 homas, oncof Mr: Frazer's servants, de posed, that when her fellow-servant opened the parlour window to give the alarm, she saw two young men standing at the parlour rails, who, after looking down the area, wing away without offering any assistance.— She saw Durham at Bow-street, about a week after the robbery, and had no doubt he was one of the two per sons who were standing by the rails. John Bachelor, a coal-porter, stated, that as he was passing Howard-street, which runs through Norfolk street, on the 28th of November, he met a person run ning in the direction from Mr. Frazer's house,.he at the same time heard a woman scream in Norfolk-street. He had no doubt that Durham was the person whom he saw running. Two watchmen deposed to the finding of the imple ments of house-breaking in the area, and that the win dow had been forced. Sarah Vanderveldt deposed, that on the 28th of No vember she lodged at 25, Earl-street, Seven-dials, in which house Levi Abrahams and his wife also lodged. On the 28th of November she dined with Abrahams and his wife, and Durham was likewise present. Abrahams and Durham went out together that evening. Abrahams did not come home that night. On the next morning, as she and Mrs. Abrahams were going to-look for-Abra hams, they met Durham. Mrs. Abrahams asked him where her husband was? He said, "Hush ! come up to your room." She would not, and they walked together towards the Fox and Goose, and then Durham told, Mrs. Abrahams that her husband was in St. Clement's watch house. She asked what he was there for? He replied, " The fact is, that we broke into a house last night, in • folk-Ai:et, in the Otrand, and a dna% head was cutl off, but Abrahams did not dolt. 1 held the Job, and Linn= cat its throat.! Cross-examiaell—Her hstsband had been stied at the Old Bailey. and at present was in the Rouse of Correcti.m. Mrs. Abrahams corroborated the testimony of tke last wifeless, and added, that Durham sheaved her the sleeve M his shirt; which was stained with blood, which he said was that of the dog. William Cousins, a liow-street officer, stated, that subsequently to the 2st of November, be examined a box belonging to Durham, at the Fez and Goose, and found two large skeleton keys. This was the case for tilt prosecution. Durham, in his defence, denied that he was guilty of the crime. or that he had acknowledged it to Mrs. Abrahams. Lintott also denied the charge. Oriana Spencer stated, that about a year ago the prisoner held the situation of overseer to a cotton plantation in Demerara. He bore a good character. He returned to England in May last. The RICORDZR summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict of Guiliy againit Durham, and of Not Guilty as to Lintott. to v (eterdaT the Li f' ir G u ildhall, 1 0 HOLMES, I .. , n1 Council t P'''', ;,),:cwark, atte ! . ..••:e. r . i.

A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday, at Chalk Farm, on the body of William Stone, aged 19, the per son who was killed in a pugilistic encounter with Joseph Packer, on Sunday morning last. Several witnesses were examined, and they proved that .a quarrel took place between the combatants at the Adam and Eve, in the Hampstead-toad, where they were drinking. Stone felt hjmself displeased, at soine person throwing a tobacco pipe at him, which he said bad been thrown by Packer; a quartet arose, and after a round or two in the room, an agreement was made, much against the inclination of Packer, that they should figllt on Sunday morning last, in the fields, near Chalk Farm. The parties met accordingly—Packer attended by a man named Cummings, and Stone, by a man named Hearn ; after fighting about fifty minutes, Stone, in the last round, fell on his back, when retreating from his adversary, and Packer accidentally fell upon him, with his knee on his breast. Oa arising, it was evident, from Stone's distreised situation, that he had no chance with Facker, who was a more powerful man; his seconds, however, encouraged him to renew the contest, but, while resting on one of their knees, he fell to the ground senseless. He was carried into Chalk Farm, where he immediately died. Cummings, when apprised of his death, did not leave the field to sender the least assist ance, but said " Stone might die and be ---," and performed his part at another battle, which had com menced before Stone was carded away.—The CORONER said, that if, in the prosecution of an illegal act, as fighting a pitched battle, either of the combatants were killed, it was the duty of the Jury to say, that all who , assisted in k were guilty of Manslaughter. In this case, it seemed that Packer was willing it should be a drawn battle; but the deceased would not consent to it. The Jury returned a - verdict of Manslaughter against Packer, and the four seconds, named Cummings, Adams, Saunders, and_ Hearn. MURDER AT WIMBLEDON. Last week an attack was made by a pauper of Wimbledon workhouse, named Milliss, upon two others, named Fuller and Appleton, and which has ultimately proved fatal to the former. It appears that the three paupers slept in the same bed, on the night of the 11th inst. When Millis: and Appleton ere in bed, and Fuller was preparing for rest, Milliss started up, said " That's all I wanted," and attacked Fuller, who cried out and got away. Milliss then turned round, and cut Appleton across the head; Appleton attempted to wrest the weapon from Millist's hand, and in so doing his hands were much cut; sever al persons who were alarmed by the cries, came to his assistance, and secured Mil liss. In the meantime, Mr. Sandford, the surgeon, was called t) attend the wounded man. Fuller had received a violent thrust in the groin from a knife, and to such an extent as to cause a protrusion of his entrails; there was also another cross wound, but that was very little more than skin deep, the larger wound was closed, but the unfortunate man lingered until Thursday morning, and then died. The surgeon who examined the body, found the intestines lacerated in two or three places. Appleton's wounds, which he received on the head and hands, were not dangerous, and he is fast recovering. Appleton and several other paupers were examined by the Magistrates, respecting this horrid affair. Ap pleton said, that a few days before it took place, Milliss threateced that if he bad a knife he wopld stab him. This threat he hid once before made use of. He is a man much subject to fits. Friday, an Inquest was held on the body of Fuller, before Mr, Jemmett, the Coroner. The testimony of Appleton, and the other paupers who came to his as sistance, was given, and a verdict returned—" That the deceased,William Fuller, came to his death through wounds inflicted with a knife by Richard Milliss."—The Magistrate has committed him for trial on the two ' charges, viz. for the wilful murder of Fuller, and for cutting and maiming Appleton, with intent to do him some bodily harm. The prismer has been conveyed to Hursemonger-lane Gaol for trial at the next Assizes. CASE OF SALVAGE. PLYMOUTH GUILDHALL, JANUARY 8. This was a Meeting of the Magistrates, under the statutes of Ist and 2d Geo. IV. for the purpose of de termining the amount of salvage due to several indivi duals who were the salvors of a chest of plate, value 10081. 14s. being part of the cargo of the brig Hiber nia, Dyer master, wrecked under the Citadel, during the gale on the 23d November last. The case excited a considerable degree of interest, and was several hours in deciding. It appeared that the salvors required of the owners, one third of the value; and we understand that they were offered one .eighth. The decision of the Magistrates gives them nearly one sixth. ' It is a generally-received opinion, tharpersons salving wrecked property, are entitled by law to one third of its value, but such an opiriion is erroneous; no such law ever having been in existence. The remedy is, if the parties cannot agree, to bring the case before the Magistrates, for their decision,; and if such decision is not approved of by either the salvors or the owners, an appeal may be made to the Court of Admiralty. THE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE MURDER.—Lynn still con tinues in a very composed state of mind, and employs his time in perusing religious books. He eats little, and' his favourite meals are kis breakfast and tea. Several Noblemen and other distinguished persons, residing in the county, continue to visit him, and his conversation is marked la ith rationality, and at times be seems to forget altogether the eno:mity of his crime, and treats it with a great deal of levity. t /41/PAL arthittildgK r ot • thli Patriot, gotammt s from St. Andrew's, New Bruiwirleii iris totally wrecked iii the Pentland Frith; the Bth in-t. and eight hf the crew drowned.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING. Monday, the favourite stag Sailor, late the property of Lora Glammis, who hunted hint very successfully last season, was again turned down before eight couple of hounds; at Mr. Wm. Mill's farm, in Chignell, who entertained his hunting friends with an ex• cellent and sporting-like breakfast ; after which, precisely at eleven o'clock, the chase commenced, and at the end of a skiere run of fifty-eight minutes, during which time the stag completely recovered the laurels he lost on the Monday preceding, he was taken in the river at Ransford-bridge, near Writtle Lodge ; and, from the at tention of Mr. Crook's trainer, is fast improving, and Fromist s grAt diversion during the remainder of the season, to the very numerous sporting-like men in the neighbourhood. Saturday last, Mr. Tuffnell's harriers found a very game hare at Boyton Hall Spring, which went away to Roswell, and then headed to the left to Writtle; from thence to Chignell, Sawa ley, and ultimately to Great Waltham; when, after running through five parishes, she died before the hounds, in consequence of the severity of the Once; ,and out of a numerous field of sports men, but three hones were up at Abe death.—The distance is supposed to be between ten and eleven miles, and was run within the hour. TROTTING MATCH. A chesnut pony, only 13 hands and one inch high, the property of Mr. Daniel Walton, butcher, of Birmingham, was matched, a few days since, at the Fountain, Deritend, to trot two miles in eight minutes. The match wal decided on Tuesday last, on the Worcester road, about three miles from Birmingham. Many sporting characters were present; betting five t• nir on time ; the stakes £5O. The pony started at three e' : afternoon, hut, unfortunately, in the course of the from the misma nagement of the rider, or from tt :aced by the horses of those Who followed, it broke fron. .ot several times. From the delay attendant upon these-mist: ~ and not from inability in the pony, which is considered by judges the fastest trotter of his inches in the county, the race was lost by one minute and a half.— The weight of the rider was somewhat more than 12 stone. The pony, we are informed, did the distance easily within the eight, minutes, in a subsequent match, the same afternoon. SPARRING. Fives Comm.—Bishop Sharpe took his benefit yesterday. The Court was tolerably full, and the sets-to gave general satisfaction. Old Lennox and Gadree led off the sports ; they were succeeded by Bittoon and Jem Burns, Whitby and Robinson, White•headed Bob and Acton, Goodman and the Sailor Boy, Cooper and Young Burke, and, as a finish, Bishop Sharpe and Jack Randall. The set-to between Jem - Burns and Bittoon was scientific and pleasing; Jem evidently improves in his style of fighting. Whitby and Robinson gave a specimen of slashing tradesmen, and the cork was drawn in a way to satisfy the most determined gluttons. Bob had decidedly the best with Acton, and, although out of practice, proved that " there is that within which passeth thew." Good man and the Sailor Boy gave a fine specimen of counter-hitting, and were loudly cheered ; Goodman, however, took the lead and kept it. Gypsy Cooper had it all his own way with Young Burke, and being heavier and longer, did not give him a chance. Of Jack Randall, it is unnecessary to say much ; he preserves his superiority as a General, but we doubt whether his materiel would suit for active service. Sharpe did his best, but with suck an anta gonist he could only hope to come off second best. White-headed Bob is about ao set off for the country to fight a countryman, Ned O'Neal, the Streatham youth, having declined the ring for some months. Dick Curtis• was in the Court, and expected to have heard front Barney Aaron or Dick Hares, either of whom he la ready to meet, but neither of these men were in attendance. The charge of Judge Buaaoueu to the Grand Jury of Surrey, has produced a great effect, and the Magistrates of both Surrey and Bucks have given notice that they will not suffer fighting in their risdiction. • THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, 111 ARK LANE, JAN. 19. Although our supplies (2,600 quarters of Wheat, '2,160 quarters of Barley, 8,700 quarters of Oats, and 4,100 sacks of Flour,) are far from being large, there was very little business transacted in our market this morning; and, as the Factors demand the same priers for all kinds of grain as on Monday, we must quote them nominally the same as.on that day. (FROM THE LONDON PRICE CURRENT, JAN. IS.) COTTON.—Although the demand for Cotton last week was not animated, holders have been unwilling to sell even at previous rates, and buyers have taken whatever offered at former pr.ces.— The sales amount to about 5,600 bales, viz. 500 Pernams -121 d. to 121 d. per lb. in bond. 2000 Surats - 6d. to 7}d► 400 Madras - 7d. to 7id. 1100 Bengal. 6d. to 61d. 50 Orleans - 11 id. 1500 Egyptian -11 id. to Did. and 13id. duty plk 50 Demerara! -12 id.
