YESTERDAY, dT BRISTOL Lbrd GIFFORD (Recorder) entered the Court yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, to hold the annual Session for the City of Bristol. • The Grand Jury having been sworn (J. C. HAuVOID, Esq. Foreman), Lord GIFFORD. the Recorder, briefly addressed them, but in so low a tone, as to be heard very imperfectly in any part of the Court. Ilk Lordship said, that he had the satisfaction to state, that the cases on the calendar were few in number; but that satisfaction was much diminished, when he referred to the nature of one of the cases, and the name of the prisoner—a forgery for 5001. by Henry Savery. He would not dwell particu larly on the law of the case, or on the prejudicial con sequences of the caime of forgery in a commercial country. As merchants and traders in that commercial city (Bristol), they could not fail to be deeply im pressed with them. As to the peculiar nature of the case, however, it might be weil for him to observe, that the forgery was in no degree less cr iwinal because the : names toiled were those of persons not in exist ence ; it as held by the law to be equally criminal and felonious to forge the Hawes of non-existing persons.— Exgery was a crime of the highest magnitude; and though the duty which the Grand Jnry had to per form was painful, it was of the greate't importance to the country, and be doubted not that they would discharge it satisfactorily to their consciences and oath, and to their country. The Grand Jury then retire!, and the first indictment forwarded to them was that against Henry Savery. Eight witnesses were sworn, and directed to attend the Grand Jury. At eleven o'clock the Grand Jury re turned into Court, and Mr. Harford said that they had Mood a true bill against Henry Savery for felony. Two cues of manslaughter, on the Coroner's Inquisitions, occupied the Court till about twelve o'clock. Henry Santry was tken directed, by the RECORDER, to be placed at the bar. Mr. Humphreys, the jailer, soon appeared with him. Mr. Savery, who is stated'in the Calendar to be 33 years of age, loaked pale, and was evidently most fe verishly agitated. Those who had long been acquainted vrith him, declared that the prisoner was appallingly altered since his . imprisonment. He was dressed in black. He looked at the Bench till the reading of the indictment was commenced. He then leant over the bar, and covered his face with his right hand, and be frequently pressed . his fingers against his eyes. Henry Savery was committed December 23, 1824. by T. Hasseil, Esq. the present Mayor of Bristol, for having feloniously and falsely made, forged,.and counterfeited, a certain note of hand, dated Birmingham, 7th October, 1824, and purporting to be the note of one William Pearson, for the sum of £5OO, with intent to defraud George Smith and his co-partners, trading under the firm of the " Bristol Copper Company," against the Statute, &c. The indictment consisted of 19 counts. The Clerk of the Arraigns then addressed the prisoner : " Henry Savery, how say you, are you Guilty or Not Guilty r Prisoner: " Guilty." This answer was wholly unexpected by the Court, and it was delivered in a firm and deliberate tone. Lord GIFFORD paused for some moments, appearing to be takes more by surprise than anybody else. He changed colour, and was evidently much affected by the painful duty he had to perform. His Lordship at last said, earnestly looking at the prisoner, co Have you well considered your answer ?" Prisoner—l have. Lord Girroao—l trust no false hopes have induced you to give that answer? Prisoner replied something about having deliberately pleaded as he had ; but he was not distinctly heard. Lord GIFFORD again paused a few minutes, and then said—Pri soner, you had bett er cons id er a a b ort time before you resolve to persevere in pleading Guilty. The prisoner shook his head, reclined on his hand, and again covered his face, agitated by grief. It was intimated to the Court, that the prisoner had no ether answer to give than what he had given. Clerk of the Arraigns—Shall I enter the verdict, my Lord? The Recounts—Wait a short time. The prisoner was taken from the dock, and in about five minutes be was brought back by direction of the Judge. He appeared to be much more collected, and looked partially round the Court. Lord Girroen—l understand, Henry Savery, you persist In pleading guilty. Prisoner—l do, my Lord. (He then again looked round the Court somewhat collectedly, as if be had relieved his mind.) Lord GIFFORD, having put on the fatal black cap, then addressed the prisoner : " Henry Savery, you have pleaded guilty to the crime of forgery charged against you, the forgery of a bill of exchange for 5001. and put.. Porting to be the note of W. Pearson, of Birmingham, and with the intent to defraud the prosecutors in this case. You have, I trust, well considered the conse quences of pleading guilty. I trust no false hopes or expectations, that by so pleading you should avert the dreadful sentence which it will be my painful duty to pronounce on you, have induced you to plead gailty. You were brought up in commercial pursuits , and you followed them fo r a considerable period in this respect able city, so that you mast have been intimately ac quainted with them ; you therefore could not but know the calamitous consequences to commerce which the crime of forgery is calculated to produce, as well as the magnitude of the penal results to yourself. So essential is it to give security to the circulation of bills of ex change, so important is it in this country to give ground for confidence in such transaction:, that it must have been impossible for you, in your own experience, not, to have known and felt the importance of such matters, and the extent of injury calculated to be produced by the circulation of forged instruments, whether the names forged were those of existing or non-existing persons." Prisoner—My Lord, I was not aware that to forge the names of persons not in existence was criminal. Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, who was standing near the witnetes bu t most agitatedly attempted to address theCourt—MyLord --- hlr. Rause, one of tho. Counsel-443 Lord, I . bileye evidence tan be adduced of some circumsiZies- Lord Gin All these interruptions are really 'try irregular. I must proceed, painful as is the duty. . . • It was impossible that you should *tot know you were circulating fictitious and fraudulent paper, and that the intention was to deceive and defraud. Y-u could not be ignorant of those facts. It is melancholy to think that you should have so destroyed your own character, and wounded the feelings of others, it is not however, my wish to add anything to the grief that they must feel. But let me renew my entreaty that you suffer not yourself to be led away by any delusive hopes or expectation,. The scene of this lite must shortly close upon you. Let me implore you then to endeavour, not to atone to society, for that I fear is impossible. his. to secure your peace with your MAIM. And let me again say to you that this Court can hold out no expec-. cations that the sentence, which it is now my painful duty to pronounce on you, will not be carried into effect :—The sentence is, that you, Henry Savery, be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, and there be hanged by the neck till you are dead." The prisoner, on hearing the latter words, seemed to lose an power of breathing, and dropped down his head. Mr. Smith, one of the prosecutors, who had before attempted to address the Court, made way through the crowd by the witness box towards the Bench, and very agitatedly exclaimed— "My Lord, as the prosecutor, I recommend him to mercy. I, the prosecutor, my Lord, recommend him to mercy, if mercy can be *hewn. The consequences of his crime were limited, the Public have suffered nothing—hardly anything." Lord GUMMI) leant back on his seat, greatly affected; but made no T re ply he prisoner was then r emoved from the dock, amidst the deathly silence of a crowded Court, many present well knowing the prisoner, and his father the banker. .LXHIBITIOkV OF THE FINE ARTS. 16...- -. While some were yesterday rusticating at Greenwich and other places in the environs of the metropolis, a large proportion of intellectual sight-seers amused themselves with •isiting the various Exhibitions of the Fine Arts now open. At TUE EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS. There W•s a very strong muster, the splendid gal leries being crowded the whole of the day. Among the visitors, we observed several persons of high rank. —The Exhibition is extremely rich in landscapes, by Linton, Holland, Glover, and others. The Vale and Lakes of Kessvick is a beautiful picture, full of truth and nature. Noble has also a very clever picture—a view of Hampstead Heath. The veteran Northcote's picture of the Emperor of Russia assisting in recovering the drowned man, is a splendid picture. Blake has some of the richest groups of game we ever saw. Such of the visitors as combined a love of the good things of this life with a taste for the Fine Arts, luxuriated over the picture of Christmas Fare, which transferred them at once to a larder like that of the Freemasons Tavern. ' We are happy to find, that, independent of the sup port this new Scciety receives as an Exhibition, it has also been decidedly successful in the sale of the pro ductions of the Fine Arts, more pictures having been soli" in the first three days of this Exhibition, than (hiring the first three weeks last year, great as the sale then was. THE DIORAMA Has taken so decided a rank among the fashionable Exhibitions of the metropolis, that it is daily visited by persons of the highest rank. Yesterday many of the sons of toil and industrious tradesmen, who compensate for a year's industry by a day's recreation, mingled with the fashionable group, and unequivocally expressed their surprise and delight at witnessing Chartres Cathe dral and Holyrood Chapel. THE PANORAMA OF EDINBURGH, • • In Leicester-square, which was opened to the public yesterday for the first time, was crowded with visitors of all ranks. It was amusing to see Ladies and Gen tlemen pointing out houses where their friends lived, which they could easily identify, so minute and yet so correct are the details of this picture; indeed it would require no great stretch of imagination for the visitor to fancy himself actually in the Heart of Mid Lothian. • THE EGYPTIAN TOMB. Mrs. Belzoni, the relict of that enterprising traveller who perished in his attempt to explore Africa, was yes terday honoured with a considerable number of distin guished visitors, to see the wonders of Egypt thus brought home to us. The tombs, pirticularly the new tomb of six pillars, present a curious and interesting picture of the arts, customs, and religion of the Egyp tians. The whole exhibition is peculiarly interesting. The other exhibitions connected with works of Art, now open in the Metropolis, all boasted a considerable accession of company, in consequence of the holiday and the fineness of the weather. BALLOON ASCENT& MESSRS. GREENS' ASCENT. In consequence of an advertisement in the Papers, stating that Mr. Green would ascend yesterday in his Coronation Balloon," from the Bowling-green of the Eagle Tavern, City-road, an immense concourse of people assembled there to witness the exhibition. The balloon employed on this occasion, although styled the Coronation Balloon, was not that in which Mr. Green ascended from the Green Park during the King's Coro nation, but altogether a new one, and very inferior to the other in point of beauty. The inflation commenced at half-past ten o'clock, and terminated between four and five; the other necessary preparations were not com pleted until better than half-past five, when Mr. Green, accompanied by one of his brothers, having entered the car, the balloon was detached from its fastenings, and rose steadily amidst the cheers of the spectators. — The atmosphere being extremely calm, and the sun shining brightly, the machine, atter it had ascended to a moderate he►ght, seemed to hang over the City for nearly half an hour, presenting a beautiful appearance, as its sides glistened with the beams of that orb towards which it appeared to be conveying two of the inhabi tants of a different planet. It took a direction towards Croydon, in the vicinity of which the Messrs. Green effected a safe descent. Amongst the individuals pre sent in the grounds, was Miss Stocks, the companion of Mr. Harris in his last and fatal excursion from the same place: she was of course an object of considerable attention. Her complexion was pale, and her appear ance rather delicate, but her countenance evinced no remarkable quality. She is ambitious, it is said, of making a second ascent. She was leaning on the arm of another young woman, and bore the gaze of the crowd with great composure. The pickpockets were both numerous and active ; and their depredations of the most barefaced description. MIMI. GREENS' ACCOUNT OP TIMM irOYACIII; "At half-past five o'clock the balloon left the earthy . . • amidst the abets of thocands of sreetators—aiii Uwe passe) over the metropolis, we heard the shouts •of the inhabitants in the different streets. To give the public a more distinct view of the machine, as it nr , ved with grandeur and sublimity through ti se atmosphere, we de termined not to attain too great an altitude. Our course was west by south west, and on crossing the" River Thames, we passed directly between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges. The River Thames, with its ser pentine form, appeared to the naked eye not larger than a boa constrictor. When we were at our utmost altitude, St. Paul's did not appear to be larger than a dog-kennel, and the Monument not bigger than a walking-stick 1 When at a distance of about 4,000 feet from the earth, we liberated a pigeon. It has been stated, that in consequence of the extreme rarity of the air at sach an elevation, a pigeon cannot use its wings ; bat we found that the moment the pigeon felt the car, it flew with ease and rapidity in a zigzag direction to wards the earth, till we lost sight of it. The thermo meter varied from 69 to 75 ; the baiornetei, on leaving the earth, stood at SO inches two-tenths, and when at our highest elevation, it stood at .21 five tenths, giving an alti tude of about a mile and three-quarters. We passed through slight currents of air, and at times the earth was completely obscured from our view by detached bodies of vapour. We did not pass through a single cloud, and our voyage was vei y pleasant. Having been in the atm3sphere about an hour and three-quarters, we determined on making our descent, the cou.itry ap pearing open and convenient for such purpose. TI e first sound we heard on descending was the bai king ol a dog ; the barometer then stood at 26 incise , which sheaved that we were about th• ee-quarters of a mile from the surface of the earth. Having reached the earth without any concussion, and finding the spot on which we landed was a ploughed field, and unfavoura ble fur emptying and packing tip the machine, we agreed that one of us (Mr. G. Green), should alight ; he did so, and Mr. Charles Green re-ascended, and proceeded onwards to a grass field about a quarter of A mile distant, on the estate of Lady Glynn, in the pa rish of Ewell, a distance of nearly two miles from Ep- ! som, where•a safe descent was effected, with the assist ance of a number of country people. Having packed tipithe balloon, we sten ted in a chaise and four for London, and arrived at the Eagle Tavern about eleven o'clock the same night. To the Directors and Engineers of the Independent Gas Company, we feel ourselves particularly obliged, for their great activity and good management °. " CHARLFS GREEN. " GEORGE GREEN. " Goswell-street, " Monday night, 14 o'clock, April 4." A vast crowd of persons had assembled at the Eagle Tavern when the Messrs. Green arrived, and gt eat plea sure was expressed at their having made so fine an as- cension. and at their descent and return. MR. GRAHAM'S ASCENT. Mr. Graham ascended yesterday, from the gardens of the Star and Garter, Kew-bridge. The process of inflation commenced at eleven o'clock, the gas being laid on from the Brentford Gas Works. The Balloon 4s the same in which Mr. Graham made ten ascents last summer. It is composed of stripes of crimson and yellow silk, with a zone of bright green. From eleven o'clock in the morning, parties of most respectable pep► sons entered the ground. A band of music enlivened the company during the period the preparations were making, &c. The concourse of persons outside was immense ; the gardens were filled ; Kew-bridge was loaded; the trees in the vicinity were climbed, white, every convenient station that could command a view was occupied.. About half-past eleven o'clock, a small pilot balloon was dispatched. It went steadily to the Westward. Two persons were desirous of joining in the trip, and hai offered 201. and 251. for a seat, but their offers were refused. About two o'clock the balloon was half inflated, when a second pilot was dispatched, took a southerly direction, and was a long time in view. About:four o'clock, the balloon was three parts filled, and its ascending power having been tr;ed, it was con sidered to be sufficiently buoyant to carry the adven turers, and the supply of gas was therefore stopped. A light cane car was then attached to the balloon, At this time it was generally believed that Mr. Sadler, juo. was to accompany Mr. Graham. Scarcely had the balloon and car been attached, when Mr. Sadler jumped into the latter, to undertake the journey, and he was joined by Me. Graham. In a few minutes, the whole of the preparations being completed, a quantity of ballast was put into the car, and the aeronauts were provided with a strong grapple, and a bottle of brandy. Ile wind was now S.W. and to prevent any accident from the trees, the machine was moved off the stage to the opposite corner of the ground. The signal was given for ascending, but unfortunately without effect ; and though every bag of ballast was taken out, there was still too great a weight, and young Sadler "ens com pelled to vacate his seat. The balloon then ascended with Mr. Graham alone, in a steady and majestic man ner. The aeronaut stood up in the car without his coat, waving his flag, and bowing to the spectators as he parted from them. The balloon continued to rise very slowly for the first quarter of an hour, and then for a time seemed sta tionary. The reflection of the sun on the variegated colours rendered it a very imposing spectacle. For the first half hour the whole was distinctly visible. It then seemed to ascend and to travel more South, until the aeronaut was no longer. perceptible, and the balloon was diminished in size. It continued in view an hour and ten minutes, when it was observed to descend with every appearance of perfect safety. THE DESCENT. After a pleasant journey of one hour and fifty mi-1 antes, Mr. Graham descended, at ten minutes past six o'clock, in a field, in the village of Oakshnt, a mile and a half beyond Claremont, twelve from London, and fourteen from Kew, and arrived in town at twelve o'clock last night. He says, that when in the air, he experienced the most severe cold, particularly in his feet. Owing to the clearness of the day, he had a de lightful view of the country. The greatest altitude the balloon attained, was about two miles. The field in which lie alighted, adjoined the estate of Mr. Williams, from whom he experienced the greatest attention. A communication with the Brazils by means of steam-vessels, the first used for regularly crossing the Atlantic, will take place immediately. The Hibernia steam-boat is about to sail from Falmouth to Para, Ma ranham, Pernambuco, Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro. The seamen of the North East of England have formed Associations at diEerent parts on the line of coast from Yarmouth, in Norfolk, to Berwick•opon- Tweed, mutually to assist or relieve each other in case of shipwreck, &c. to alleviate their sufferings and sup ply them with money to pay their passage home. GREENWICH PARK, AND F.IIR. fiti:envrieh Park has not exhibited so .brilliant an as semblage of company on this festive die for many years. We were pleased to see suite of the highest Nobility of the land, at the head of whom was the Mar quis of Elertfard, mingling in the motley group, and participating in the pleasures of persons in uhordinate life. The Park never was so crowded with peo,ile of all ranks; but to the discredit, as we must think it, of the Palk keeper or Ringer, the inhuman nuisance which we have so frequ •n ly reprehended, at each en trance to it, especially at that which is beyond the Mi ' litary Schiol, still continues. Many females were yes terday dreadfully wounded and lacerated, in come qiience of the difficulty of the entrance, and the exit ; and several infants, in the arms of their mothers, were n-?arly squeez•ni to death. Surely the kind Princes., who is the Ranger of the Park, will, after this state ment, prevrtit a recurrence of it. The Fait is now held on the Lower Road, beyond the Church, leading to Deptford, and on this occasion it resented a scene of universal gaiety, variety, and fun. The spectacles were as usual numerous, and several temporary taverns were erected on the vacant ground, where the dance and the song continued until a late hour.—Mollard's, at the Crown and Sceptre, wai quite full ; of the parties were persons unused to thic . sort of amusement. The gallant Colonel Cook, bfin• dame Ronzi Vestris, and a large party of Operatics, were spleadidly entertained. The usual tun of rolling down the hill in •arious di reclinns in the Park, was resumed. The disasters we•e confined to the disgraceful entrances and exits. We heard of o• ly one accident—a female, in running, tame against a rue, and dreadfully injured her face. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, APRIL 4. There was not any attendance to-day,being Newmarket Craven Meeting. For a statement of the odds we refer our readers-to our account from Newmarket. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. NEWMAREtT, SUNDAY NICHT, Is o'CLocr. The Racing Season for 1825 commences to-morrow with the above great Meeting, which, whether we consider the number and amount of the stakes, the celebrity of the horses and their riders, th'e length of the Meeting, and its influence on the betting for the Epsom and the Doncaster Races, or the rank by which it is at tended, is the most interesting and important in the kingdom, and, as usual, has attracted all the high sporting characters, &c. to this otherwise very insignificant town. The oldest inhabitant cannot call to memory a greater assemblage of Nobility, Gentry, Stu at so early a period prior to the meeting : not a bed is to be procured in the neighbourhood. His Royal Highness the Duke of York ar rived at five o'clock, and was greeted with the hearty cheers of the visitors, and a merry peal from the bells. Among other arrivals, there are—The Dukes of Rutland, Grafton, and Portland; .Uar quis Graham ; the Earls of Sefton, Stradbrooke, Lowther, Jersey, Orford, &c.; lords Lynedoch, Dunwich, Anson, R.

Before one o'clock the beauty of the weather drew together a great number of betting mdu before the Rooms, from whence they shortly after moved to the Heath, agreeable to custom, where a gratifying sight presented itself in the exercise of the different horses entered for the various stakes of the week, most of whom bore their appointed riders. Most of the Nobility abovementioned - were present, and the whole Heath resounded with the praise of, • • the action and symmetry of Rufus, who is here as great a favoutite as ever was known. In the evening, the Jockey Club Dinner was well attended; S. Wortley. Esq. M.P. in the Chair. There were present—Lords • Lynedoch, Anson, &radbroeke, and G. H. Cavendish ; Sir John Byng, Hon. M. De Roos, Hen. Mr. Irby, Colonels Lyster and Rus sell; Messrs. Batson, Walpole, D. Hammond, Crawford, Hay wood, and Stonehewer. At the dinner the weights of the horses for the handicap were fixed, the-stake itself having been made up before dinner, to enable trainers to put their hordes in muzzle.— There was a great deal of betting on the Riddlesworth; Ruins foe a considerable time at even apt the field, but at last left off as under . 55 to 50 the field agst Rufus 10 to 1 apt Actrou 6 to I apt Elizabeth 10 to i apt Wyndham's 7 to 1 apt Seam colt 100 to 6 apt Blue Stocklap CILAVZX SLUM. 4 to 1 apt Second Sigbt 7 to 1 apt Furbisher S to 1 apt Streatham 9 .tn 1 apt Elired 6 to 1 agst Ganymedit 10 to 1 agar Spermaceti DI&ST. 9 to 2 the field apt Rufus 14 to 1 apt Pariact 6to 1 apt Muleteer • 16 to 1 apt Legacy 10 to 1 apt Webb • 20 to 1 apt Spermaceti 10 to 1 apt Defiance j oiza. 12 to 1 apt Sorcery 12 to 1 ag3t Waltz 4 to 1 apt Aline 6 to 1 apt Tontine 11 to 1 apt Pastime IT. latolta. a to 1 apt Memnon 17 to 1 apt Medpuntlet 10 to 1 apt Cleveland 25 to 1 apt Homer 16 to 1 apt Androgeus II 50 to 1 apt Toss atolmay, Aran. 4.
