• LOYDON SESSIONS; OCTOBER 27. These Sessions . commented this day, before the Its c,oanza and a Bench of Aldermen. The i lticonnsm, in addressing the Grand Jury, said. thg upon looking over the calendar, he perceiVed ch2ige Of fergcly which would require theit most at tentive consideration. In cases of conviction of such an offence, the convict, it was 'mon n, was usually handed over to the executioner. The forgery of a bond, or deed, or power of attorney, was a thing of a much more co mplex nature•than the forgeries which were generally c h a rged in Courts *of Justice. As to a deed, if after execution of it by the bona jWe parties, any alteration should be made which rendered it different from its ori ginal form, that alteration was a forgery, if proved to h a ve been unauthorized. If a power of attorney ap peared to have been executed three 'persons, and :hat only one of three executed it, the act •was a forget y. The ease to which he alluded (Mr. Fauntleroy':) would most probably occupy a great part of the time of the Gentle. men of the Grand Jury, whom , he therefote recom mended to dispose of the bills Of a leis complicat`ed na ture previously. from this arrangement, it would appear, that there is ne probability of Mr. Fauntleroy being put on his trial until neat week, supposing that, from ulterior 'Circum stances, it is not traversed until next ge4sions, which, perhaps, is not very problematical. .1 • The calendar contains the following charges•and tentiens against this unfortunate Gentleman. The par ticulars of commitment a, thus: • t• " Henry Fauntleroy, aged 40, banker, committed by J. E. Co nant, Esq • for uttering In the City of ondon a forged Letter .9f, Attorney for the sale of £5OO Long Annuities, well knowing the same to be forged and counterfeited, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England." The following are the detainers lodged: lit. Uttering a forged Letter of Attorney for the sale of £5,000 Consolidated Three per Cent. Annuities, well knowing, &c. 2d. Uttering a forged Letter of Attorney fur the .ale of £.5,3150 Consolidated Four per Cent. Annuities, &c. sd. Uttering a forged Letter of Attorney for the sale of £17,500 Navy Five per Cent.

Annuities, &c. 7:h. Uttering a forged Letter of Attorney for the sale of £6,000 Four per Cent. Annuities. The allegation in each charge is "he well knowing the same to be forged and counterfeited, with intent to . defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England." Charles Bramwell, a wine-merchant at Paddington, stood indicted for assaulting William Walker, a Gentle man in the employ of Messes. Severn, King, and Co. and Mary Ann, his wife. A cross bill had also been found against Mr. Walker, for an assault on Mr. B. Mr. Walker was returning with his wife and child from a visit to his brother, when they were met in Tower-street by the defendant Mr. Bramwell, and a Mr. Shadgate, of the Excise, who had just left a dinner party in the neighbourhood ; and the charge against Mt. Bramwell was, that in passing he put his hand very indecently upon the person of Mrs. Walker; and upon her husband's remonstrating with him for so doing, he struck him a violent blow. With respect to the inde cent conduct towards the Lady, both she and her hus band swore positively. From the shape of the proceed ings, there being two indictments, Mr. Bramwell was enabled to give his statement also upon oath; and he positively swore that he never intended or did touch the Lady at all, and that the first commencement of the affray - Was by his receiving a kick from Mr. Walker, who charged him at the time with having indecently asaulted his. wife; that he denied having done so; that Mr. Walker repeated the charge with insulting lan guage; and then—and not till then—he did strike him. Mr. Shadgate coiroborated his friend's statement, de claring that he believed Mr. Bramwell did not touch the Lady at all. If he had, he thought he must have seen it. The lteconnEn put it to the Jury to say, whether they believed it might not be a misconception on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Walker, in which case he would have been the first assailant? If, on the other hand, they thought that Mr. Bramwell had laid his hand in decently upon the Lady, that was such a provocation as fully justified the husband in the kick he was alleged to have given. The Jury, after some consultation, acquitted Mr. Walker on the indictment against him; and pronounced a verdict of Guilty on that against Mr. Bramwell, who was immediately sentenced by the Court to pay a fine of 201. to the King. Lawlin was charged with assaulting W. Paulen, one of the constables of St. Botolph, Aldgate. Theprosecutor saw 'a person of respectable appear ance lying in die street, apparently intoxicated ; witness went to his assistance, when prisoner threw out his arm, aimed a blow at him, and seized him in an unmanly Planner; witness took him into custody, and conveyed him to the Compter. The prisoner was able to walk if pleased, but when lie got part of the way he refused I to walk at all. The prisoner cross-examined the witness, who denied that he ever offered to compromise the matter for 10s.1 or on condition that he (prisoner) would stand a supper; all he said was, that if prisoner would make an apology he would abandon the prosecution. The• Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of the common assault, but recommended him to mercy on account of his previous iinprisonment.—lmprisoned for one wetk. A man named Ford was indicted for cornniiiting aft assault upon 'the wife of his neighbour ) Mrs. Martin, of Field-lane ) where they 'keep rival shop's. The evidence, with respect to the assault, *as so con tradictory, that Mr. PHILLIPS said it reminded hint of a case of robbery in his own country, in which the wit nesses were so determined to peove an alibi, that twenty of them swore that the prisoner was in twenty different places at the time the offence was committed.—The pi isoner was convicted, fined a shilling, and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Ocr. Peter Bonner, and Sarah his wife, were prosieuted upon two indicttnents, for Very violent assaults upon Simon Wells, and Mary his wife, on the 24th day df July la 4. The prosecutor stated, that the defendants were nest door neighbours, and at half-past ten at nights of the 21th July rant, the male defendant came to his 'door and proclaimed aloud, that Mrs. Walt was everything but what she realty was, and most intolerably, slandered !ler—witness stepped forwards and bogged him to desist. This he answered by a knock-down blow ), he repeated it, and otherwiie maltrftred him. His wife came rut endeavouring to protect him, when the female defendant advanced and struck the witness and hi. wife atm nately. The wife corsoborated this statement, as did a bye-stander. Au..l - r, for the dereehlants - plc4ed himself ta, f prOtt all the witnesses perjured, ror that dere . nclarits. hearing a great disturbana at the prosecutor's door, and knowing it to be a house of not the best reputation, had gone to the prosecutor's to know the reason of the noise, when he (the prosecutor) without any ceremony knocked him down. Three witnesses were called to prove this fact ; but in cross-ekaminatinn they all adqtted, they did not know what might have occurred before they came up, for when they did, there was a great disturbance. One witness only swore 'to her belief that the prosecutor's lodgers were not of the most orderly kind. After a summing up by the CH AIRNIAN, both defen dants were found Guilty upon both indictments. In the first they were sentenced to pay a fine of 101.—in the second, 21. The defendants, persons of respectable exterior, de• dared on leaving the bar, that they would die in prison before they would pay the fines. SURREY SESSIONS, OCTOBER 27. Mary King was indicted for stealing a watch, value 51. the property of John Best. John Best, the prosecutor, stated, that he was a baker, living in Mash-place, Lambeth.

About one o'clock the Petit jury panel was called over, when the first twelve who appeared (with the ex ception of one who was set aside by Counsel on the part of his Lordship ) he having already expressed an opinion on the case), were sworn. Charles William Lord Viscount Ckrntont was given in charge for two assaults, one en William Marmion (aged about 12 years), the other on John Marmion, juir. (aged about 14 years). Mr. O'Ham.ort opened the case for the prosecution. He said he felt pained that a Nobleman of Lord Cler mont's exalted rank, extensive property, and great con sequence, should have so far forgotten his situation as t:3 have subjected himself to a prosecution such as the present. He then proceeded to state the case as it after wards appeared in evidence. In the course of his state ment he spoke of Lord Clermont's followiag one of the boys, who were to prosecute him, into his father's house. " Any one would have supposed, Gentlemen," said the Learned Counsel, a that when a Nobleman of Lord Cler mones exalted situation entered a poor man's cottage, it wonld be for charitable purposes, to alleviate his suf ferings, soothe his distress, or administer relief to his wants; but, no, Gentlemen, it was to inflict chastise ment on his child, and horsewhip him in the presence of his father, who stood by a silent spectator, till he saw' one blow of more than ordinary force, when he ex claimed—' My Lord, I am afraid you have broke his arm.' was Lord Clermont's reply— , No _ _ matter.'" The Learned Gentleman continued his detail of the evidence, and concluded by stating that the law was, according to the best authorities, with respect to assaults. He dten proceeded to examine his witnesses. William Marmion sworn, and examined by Mr. UHANLON—Does not know the name of the month; recollects last Saturday six weeks ; about one or two o'clock was herding a cow; was lying up against a ditch ; saw a Gentleman coming in a gig towards Dun dalk; did not know who he was; has heard since he was Lord Clermont.

Lord Clermont desired witness to go for Archy Craig; wit ness would not; he did not•know Archy Craig. Lord Clermont desired his brother John to go for Archy Craig, the constable; he refused and ran into the field. Lord - Clermont ran after him, and caught hold of wit ness by the collar of the coat, and brought him to the road; drove the cow before him; asked witness who owned the cow ; witness said John Marmion. Lord Clermont brought witness near the gate, and slashed him several times with his whip on the feet ; he had no shoes or stockings on.

Lord Clermont fol lowed the cart a little distance towards Newry, after which he returned, and came towards witness's father's house; witnesss brother Johns who was in the yard, ran into the house and up stairs; witness followed him, and ran up stairs also.

Lord Clermont was slashing his bro ther William, who was screeching ; witness told Load. Clermont if he did not stop, he would run the fork into his body ; was near enough Fir Lord Clermont to hear him. When Lord Clermont stopped beating his bro ther, he went towards the carman s cart; when witness saw Load C. coming towards the house, he went in and ran up stairs; witness s father came up and bade him hide. Lord Clermont came in a short space after witness was, under the bed clothes; Lord Clermont gave a slash to the bed ; witness gave a screech, and sat up in the bed; Lord Clermont continued beating him ; he struck Wit ness on the hands, on the back, and on the legs ; hit him with the lash and handle of the whip ; held the lash and the handle together in his hand ; witness's brother Nicholas, and his father, were present; he hit witness a stroke on the wrist ; witness's father said he was afraid he would break his arm ; Lord Clerrnont said, there was no danger ; continued beating him af terwards.

Witness had no marks except on his feet, that were bare ; did not see any other marks. . William Marmion recalled, and • - hind Clenoon• William Marmion recalled, and examined by the Count.—Did I ord Clermont ask the name of your brother ?—He did. What did you say his name was ?-51 , Alister. Why did you tell him so 7—To set him astray. William Marmion swort, positively that ite went up stairs with his brother, and that he hid conversation with him. He then said he spoke a word or two to him. William itso swore he did not see John brandishing the pitchfork, or hear him say anything about k when in the field. John Marmon, inn.awore he had no conversation with his bro ther William up stairs. John Marmion,sen.sworn.—Remembers the 28th of August; was lying on his bed; wa's told his cow was going to the pound ; carne down, and saw a Gentleman con)* towart's the house; he asked where was the boy who came in there, the biggest of them ; witness chewed him his son Nicholas; Lord Clermont said that was not he; and sent witness up stairs for the boy ; witness went up, and told the boy to hide himself, as he be lieved it was Lord Clermont ; Lord Clermont followed witness up stairs, and beat the boy in his bed ; witness told Lord Clermont he feared he would break the boy's area; Lord Clermont said there was no danger. .

Cross-examined.—Witness went up stairs, and told the boy to hide himself; Lord Clermont followed him; he did not go down and come up a second time; only went into the room and told the boy to hide himself, and met Lord Clermont on the lobby. as he came out of the room. Witnesa was a very poor man, otherwise his sons would not have been beaten as they were. Mr. STEELE then rose to address the Jury. He com mented at some length on the evidence which had been brought forward against Lord Clermont, and adverted particularly to the centrediction in the testi mony of the two boys, when one swore positively that he went up stairs and conversed with his brother, and the other said he could not tell whether there wasi any one in the room or not ; there might or there might' Wit ; it was a testimony suited to his own purposes. Lord Clermont wished the case to go to a Jury, in consequence of the opprobrious calumnies which had appeared in the public prints. " You are not to sup. pose, Gentlemen," continued Mr. Steele, "that the wit nesses you saw on the table this day are the promoters of this prosecution ; you have heard from the last wit ness that he is a very poor man, and you may be well assured, that it was not at his own expense that a spe cial Counsel was employed, and an attorney of consi derable notoriety engaged to conduct the prosecution. No, Gentlemen, they are only the puppets, whose wires .are moved by a faction who screen themselves behind a curtain, and aim to overturn all rant and respectability. It will be said, that this prosecution has not the appear ance of party or faction. As well might it be said that a river, because it flowed remote from its source, did not partake of the qualities of the fountain from whence it sprung, when it branched into different channels." Alter some other observations, Mr. Steele said :—" I shall now sit down, Gentlemen, confident that you will %%NI pleasure, if, saving your oaths, you can honestly, conscientiously, and religiously do so, return a verdict of Not Guilty,' in this case." The ASSISTANT BARRISTER then addressed the Jury : he said he felt satisfied that there was not a disinte rested individual in Court who would not feel rejoiced at the complete exculpation of the nobletraverser ; but,, under the impression of the evidence which he felt, he, was bound tet tell the Jury, that if they believed the witnesses for the prosecution—and he must say he could tun perceive a point to hang a doubt upon—it was their duty to find a verdict,accordingly. The Jury retired, and in a short time returned witl; a verdict of Guilty in each case. While the Jut y wete considering on their veidi:t, the Magistrates retired from the bench to the Judge's chamber the Assistant ' Barrister inquited from the Counsel for the Crown it it was the intention of the prosecutors, in the event of a rertikt being teturueh against the trnirormr, to pursuer. , tht . Matter farther, Or let it teratinat - e.lll Coutt? Crilaulou said, that he Certain 4 thoug,lit it watiltil taPt7S.„ rtrart • tebere, and applied to . the.stgerrt, who Saiu“.tirit a.„ l lo wW.aos,pripared to sty . Prigitvely that it ,5ii . .6V41...tr0i hoped most sincerely it might, and would rec - ottemsZri* it to the pfity. He then went out of Court for a few minutes. On his return, he was a lops time in close consultation with Hr. Anthony Nlartmon, who, to all appearince, Was the person on whose authot it y hE seemed to rely'; the result. Was*, that he credited he could not let it rest here. The Jury hiving rettirned"their The Asitirairr tiAItRISTKR proceeded toaddiess Lo'rd Clermont' and said that. this was the most painfol moment he hid exp/s -rienced since be had had the h o nour of fillin g the sititatiop he held in the County ; f ur although he was now called upon, in al:: hewing of the very croWded COurt-house which he then beheld, t'6 state rho unanimous *Olio% of the' Bench, that the assaults fir which tile Noble Lord stood convicted were of the slightest deicription— he might add of the most frivolous . nature --he still must sincerely deplore that any c ombination of circumstances should have brou g ht a Nobleman Of his Lordship's station in society into the unfortunate situation In which he was then Piked. It had been more than in sinuated by his Lordship's talented Advocate, that this pissecutkoi did net eman a te from the injured feelings ofthe party; neither was it carried on at their expense; but that it was promoted by a body of intri g uin g individurls, associated together for thepurpOse of re ducing to theit own base level, every person In society eoniplcitoits for rank, talent, or eminent virtue: Placed isthetie be was, it was nut fur him to say whether such was the fact or npt ; but assuming it to be so, it was truly melancholy. that his Lordship should be the victim of any such vile conspiracy. It was now, however, his duty to prononnee the sentenc e of thus Court. which was,. that his Lordship should pay a hoe, in ea c h case, of £lO to the Crown. en which Lord Clerinont bowed respictfillly to the Court, and retired SPUIf 11A ti INTELLIGENCE. • HUNTING.

GRINSHAW.—TO make up for the disap• ?ointment oas the preceding day, one of the bed battles, combining all the requisites for the clog, was, fotight yesterday between these men ; the fottner of whom f 4 thi brother of Jens Burn, all over bred, and the other a son of Vulcan, who has terrified Itt Di in the neighbourhood of Hammersmith. It was a hasty match foe .€lO, knocked up on Tuesday, at a sporting house lin the road from Lalehain when Bacchus reigned over Seager and Evaties white satin. it eleven o'ctock yesterday Morning the parties Met pn Old Oak Common ; Jem Burn and Oliver seconding Oliver Burn; and Thomas O'Becittt, the backer of Young Vulcan, and Tom Callis,were tidily employed in cleansing the blacksmith's claret. In the first round but little mischief was dune, both were trying for the first hit, and Vulcan's son mitle'it at too much distance for punishment. Both down. S. A rare merry round. Burn made the claret dy from his ad versary's pimple in good form with the left hand, hut the smith would be with him, and Burn, the best fi,hter, was obliged w act with caution. The smith Was throstin. 3. Both full on their mettles the *ankh made the play, and placed two blows, which were smartly returned upon his osfrontis, which, as a wag sung nut, gave him the vitrifies. Ile shook his head, and went in to work, and threw his adversary. 4 and 5. There was much fighting, but Burn had the best of _ . both mends, by lashing out ettlie Dead and breaking his ground. The smith ;laced some budy hit% hitt his bead was bleeding much. 6. The smith made the play, and gave his adversary a bit on the eye. 'loth down in a struggle. • and 8. turn floored his adversity With the left hand in both rounds with touch dexterity. 9., The smith fought couragetitisty:and exchanged his hits well, but the piper was on hoard. and it was Lombard. street to a fig. 10, 11, and 12. Awn made all the play, by well.directed left handed hits, 'until his 'adversary's nob was scarified like pork for roasting, but thire was no denial about him. 13. The smith showed some fight, but he fell weak. 14. In this round Burn finished his adversary by a bower, and won the battle in seventeen minutes and a few seconds. Neverawrxx-uvox-Trxit, Ocr. 26.—Yesterday was the day ap- . pointed for the fight for ten sovereigns a-side, which has been for some time in contemplation, between Thomas Donn, hatcher, and James Wallace, bricklayer, both of 'kit town, At an early hour numbers of persons were to be seen hovering about the streets, anxious to learn and to see ail that could be learnt or wen connected with the approachingcontest. Coaches., gigs, and horses of eyery description were put in requisition, and continued from aboutioine till twelve o'clock to move in the direction of Harlow Fell, near the village of Ryton, which was the plate fixed upon as the scent of action. We have not been able to obtain any replan of the pro. ceedings previous to our going to press, but there appears to be no doubt that Wallace beat his opponent with great ease. A gentle man who has just returtod from the ring, informs us that Dunn was thrown the first round, and throughout the fight, which was over in less than a quarter of an hour, was very severely punished. There were six or seven rounds. No great sums were pending on the contest, but betting was six to four in favour of Dune. We regret to idd, that immediately before the fight began, the carriage in which Dunn rode ran over a man, by which be had both his legs broken.—Tyne Mercury. MATCH AT Cuess.—The two games at present depending be tween the London and Edinburgh clubs are likely to be both drown. The odds against Edinburgh, at one period, were 3 to I. Thursday evening there was rung, on the new bells, in Trinity Church, Newingtah, !true and complete peal of grandsite triples, consisting of 5,040 changes, in three hours, being the first peal rung in that method, and the second on the bells. It was performed by eight of the Junior Society of College Youths, and conducted by Joseph Ladley. Another of those sold exploits, called a Steeple Chace. took p'aee yesterday, from Wembley-Green, near Harrow, to Burnham near Maidenhead, a good sixteen miles gallop, over a rough coun try. The adventurers were, a Gentleman of the name of Herne , an occasional bold fox-hunter kb the Berkeley hounds, and a Mr. Marojor. It was for 100 sovvreigns. Mr. Ilerne won the match by *fit seizing the bridle of a person on horseback, statianed for the purpose. Mr, Alarriot was about five miaow; behind him. The ground was done in one hour and ten minutes. The last accounts from New York state, that the huge ship Columbus, %%Mal lately left Quebec for England, drove ashore on the shoals of Betsiamitis, about seven miles below the mouth of the Saguenay, on the Bth of September. Her c'ew were employed In lightening her, and several deals were seen adrift near het. Slut remained ashore until Sunday, the i2th September, on the afternoon cf which day she was seen steering down the river with a fair wind. CHATNAN, OCT. 26.—Sunday afternoon, Mr. Word sworth and Mr. Cooper, Admiralty Midshipmen of the Prince Regent, of 120 guns, I)ing at Gillingham, jumped overboard to swim a,hore-: the former was un foritinately drowned, but the latter was picked up by the great exertions of the Officers and crew; we are sorry to state that Lieutenant Weekes, of the same ship, in jumping into a boat in order to rescue the young Gentle-men, had the misfortune to break his leg . . Wednesday, at the Berks General Quarter Sessions, tt was resolved, That the neat Easter Sessions for that County should be held at Newbury, as heretofore.
