CH,RISTS 110SPITAL I Y4sterday being St. Matthew's day, the Lord Mayor, and other dignitaries of the City, went in state, accord ing to annual custom, to visit this admirable Institution, at half-past twelve o'clock. They first proceeded to Christ Church, to attend Divine Service, where there were assembled a large number of persons, among whom were the Sheriffs of London and. Ml‘fdlesex, many of the Worshipful Aldermen. Dr. Trollope, and all the other masters of the different schools; the Rev. IDr. Franklin (head mader of the Hertford school), and above twenty other Clergymen, most of whom had received their education at this most excellent seminary. At the conclusion of the Service, and after the appro• pr:ate Lessons of the day, an Anthem was sung by some of the boys, who had been selected for that duty, the whole of 'the boys in number beyond 700) joining in the chorus—which, accompanied by a very fine organ, had a most impressive effect. The Anthem was com nosed of the first four verses of the 145th Psalm. • An eloquent sermon was then delivered by the Rev. G. J.Brookes, second master of the Mathematical school, from Galatians, chap. vi. •erses 9 and 10. The Lord Mayor, with the rest of the congregation, now proceeded to the hall of the hospital, which was crowded to excess with well dressed persons of both sees, to hear the orations delivered by two of the scho lars, who had been advanced to the rank of Grecians. Mt. Robert John Tennant, addressed his auditors in Latin. He expressed his sense of the arduous nature of the task imposed upon him, arising from the multipli city of subjects, to all of which it would be impossible to advert. Each of the Royal Hospitals of this Metro polis might justly claim a separate oration, to display their respective merits. Deprecating, however, the idea of casting a shade over the praises due to the rest, he confined hil attention more particularly to that Royal and excellent foundation, from which he had himself derived such incalculable benefit. After alluding to the election of Mr. Scholefield (formerly a student of Christ's Hospital) to the Greek Professional chair—(a situation first occupied by the learned Joseph Barnes, likewise of Christ's Hospital) the Learned Gentleman concluded a prayer foe the future enlargement and prosperity of the Foundation. After the Latin Oration, Mr. D. H. Leighton deli vered one in English, in which he extolled the exalted eminence which this country has attained by her mili tary fame, and her commercial prosperity ; which, how ever, is surpassed by the munificence of every class of society, and the general anxiety for the public good. Among the numerous establishments for the remedy or alleviation of misery, whether of body or mind, the Royal foundations of this Metropolis justly claim a proud pre-eminence. " Happy was the youthful Ed ward in having Counsellors to advise, happier in having prudence and piety to adopt, the vast and com prehensire plan cf benevolence which gave birth to those excellent Institutions ; and, though prematurely cut off in the flower of early youth, happiest of all, that (in his own pious language) his life had been mercifully spared by PROVIDENCE to complete the great labour of love in which be had engaged." In conclusion, this eloquent speaker mentioned the several departments in which the former scholars of. Christ's Hospital had dis tinguished themselves, and expressed his earnest hope, that their example might ." excite in him the spirit of generous emulation, and that his name might hereafter be enrolled among those whose virtues, or whose learn • ing, has reflected credit upon the asylum of their youth." Loud and reiterated applause. followed eaeh of these addresses. Unless some inexplicable change has taken place in , the mind of ABaAZ MIREA, the report contained in a private letter from Constantinople, that this Prince has a secret understanding with the Russians, against his Royal Father, must be altogether a fable. The Prince of Georgia, ALEXANDER, and the true heir to the crown of that fine country, who has long resided with, and been the bosom friend of ABBAZ MIRZA, and who never yielded his right or title, when the rest of his family submitted to the pretensions of Russia, has, for a long period, urged the CROWN PRINCE to retake, not only the Persian provinces, but also to assist him to recover the territories to which he is the real heir. Moscow, SEPTEMBER 4.—" The new EMPEROR shews a disposition to deviate very much from the European policy of his defunct brother, wishing thereby to become popular, and to nationalize himself as much as possible. The storm that menaced on the side of Turkey is not yet dissipated, and another is rising on the side of Persia. If the first is to take effect, a great explosion will follow ; as in that event the Estreacon will head the army, and push quickly the contest to an end. Here every person seems to think success a very easy matter; bht it is be lieved that such an expedition will meet the fate of former ones directed to the same purpose." A letter from Napoli di Romania of the 21st July, written by M. PITRINI, who had charge of the vessels destined for the re:ief of the Greeks, states, that they had all happily arrived with the exception of one, which was expected every hour. The Greeks, both civil and military, felt and expressed the liveliest gratitude for the succour thus afforded them. The writer gives a melancholy description of their destitute condition.— " 11l clothed," says he," ill fed, sleeping promiscuously in stables, the Greek people would long ere now have ceased to exist, had they not possessed courage, and patience,, and resignation, above all others." It is grati fying to find, that misfortune has added prudence to their other virtues. The unhappy divisions which have long paralysed all their endeavours have been healed, and the most perfect union of sentiment prevails. This most desirable event has been the_ consequence, if we may credit M. PITRINS, of the exhortations of the F ench Philhellenists, backed as they have been by sub ) stantial proofs of their attachment. M. EYNARD, who transmitsPiTarm's letter, mentions, in a postscript, the arrival of the remaining vessel at Cerigo, on the 25th. Justices of the Peace took their origin as early as the time of Edward the Third, but the appellation justice did . not supersede the first name, Guardian of 'the Peace, till, according to some, the 18th, to others, the 34th of Edward the Third. At the first institution they were very few—only two or three in a county ; by Statute 13 Richard the Second, not above six. Richard the Third was the first who enabled them to take bail. They were distinguished in the sixteenth century by wearing an agate in a ring, as an appendage to their I gold chains. They are described, too, as attire 4 in velvet dresses, with a long train of servants. Their present respectability is modern. Shakspeare says that they attested the mast absurd stories with their signs tures. Ray has, in his Proverbs, a Basket Justice, a Jyll Justice, a good forenoon Justice, as opprobrious terms; and Ge rge Withers says, that unless poor men carried capons to the Justices at Christmas, they , plagued them with warrants. • OLD BAILEY. Yesterday, Arthur Thompson, alias Jbseph Fond, alias Josiah amnia& was brought up on a fiabeas Cor pus, from Surrey, charged with uttering - a forged order for the payment of 231. well blowing the same to be forged and counterfeited, with intent to defraud John Vickers Taylor and others. Mark Anthony Lyddell, a little boy, 14 years old, remembered the prisoner coming to speak to him in June last ; witness was going on an errand, and as he was crossing a fiell the prisoner came up to him, and asked if he knew where Dolby Williams lived? Wit ness replied in the negative; prisoner said, Dolby Wil liams keeps the Three Tuns Tavern, Umehouse. The prisoner then asked him where Mr. Taylor's brewery was? Witness said, in Ropemakers Fields. Prisoner said, he himself was Dolby Wilburn: l s son; that he had borrowed 501. of Mt. Taylor, which he promised to pay next week, but could not. Prisoner said, that Mr. Dolby Williams, his father, had given him a check for 251. on Mr. Williams, and he did not wish to go with it himself, as he was not able to pay the 501. He then produced the check, and requested witness to go, and took witness to a corner of a field, where the children had made a hollow, and said to witness, Suppose I was Mr. Taylor, how would you act before me? Witness then took off his bar, and shewed him how he would act. Prisoner then gave him the check to go to Mr. Taylor, and say he was Dolby Williams's youngest son. Witness said, If there be lies attached to it, I bare no thing to do with it. Prisoner still continued to request him, but witness would not go. . Witness then went home, and informed his father of what had taken place. John Stanbiry was the next witness called, but he professing his inability to swear positively tothe identity of the prisoner, and his evidence being greatly at va-, riance with his depositions before the Magistrate, the Judge directed an acquittal.—Verdict, Not Guilty. The Learned JUDOS observed, that he had no doubt of the witness (Stanbury) having been tampered with, and of his having been guilty of perjury; he therefore ordered his commitment. to take his trial for the offence. HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A ERAIAI.B. Sarah Guyer was indicted for assaulting Sarah Bun ning, on the King's highway, on the 11th of April last, and taking from her person a silk shawl and 19 sove reigns, the property of the said Sarah Bunning. The prosecutes stated, that on the evening of the day above named she was passing down the Edgeware Road towards her house in Deke-street, Lisson Grove; the prisoner overtook her, and entered into conversa tion ; during this conversation, the prisoner wrested the shawl from her shoulder, and ran away ; 19 sovereigns were tied in the corner. Owing to the length of time between the robbery and the pri soner being taken into custody, and the contra:beton , evidence of the prosecutds, the Jury acquitted the prisoner. HANSLAUGHTZR. Maw freeman, alias Burins, was indicted for killing and slaying William Britt, on the King's highway. Mr. Robinson, a student in the London Hospital, proved that the deceased died in consequence of diseased lungs. Mr. Justice Lftrarnaas therefore directed an acquktal. James Boyce, Henry Bryce, and George Houghton, were indicted for highway robbery. Mr. Henry Fuller, surgeon, of Bethnal-green, was returning home late on the 13th of September from a patient, and as he came near Fleet-street-hill, Bethnal green, heard a whistle, with a cry of " Now!" He was surrounded by about 20fellows, who pinioned his arms and tied them with a rope. One of them said, "If the b— squeaks, knock his brains out." Another, *horn he afterwards found to be the prisoner James Boyce, said that they would do him no harm, but they would have what he had got. They took from him a case of instruments and three keys. One of them felt for his watch, and exclaimed, " The b-- has got no toy." After they had rifled him, one of them said, " Now give him a rpm one." James Boyce again in terposed, and prevented any violence to his person.— The next morning some one called on him and told him he might get back his instruments. From the remainder of his evidence, it appeared that he-sue myriad, with the assistance of the offic ers Norris, Gorton, and Gooding, in identifying and securing the prisoners. Cress-examined—Henry Boyce was Inactive, and only looked on. The Jury found the prisoners James Boyce and George Hough ton Guilty. The prosecutor recommended James Boyce to mercy, for having protected him from personal violence twice during the perpetration of the robbery: Caroline Fitgallen was indicted for stealing a note _value 501. in the house of Robert Brooks, in Burton crescent, in the parish of St. Pancras. Mr. BRODERICE premised that the evidence would be necessarily complicated, as the note itself had not yet been recovered, and a difficulty upon this point arose, which could only be got over by a circuitous detail of testimony. Mr. Robert Brookes, a butcher, in Leigh-street, Bur ton-crescent, received a 501. note from Mr. Rennell.— Used to keep his cash in a pocket book ; it was kept in a bookcase in the parlour by day. At night either he or his wife took it up stairs. He saw it on Saturday evening, the 12th of August, for the last time. The book was under his wife's pillow on the Monday morn- ing. He went, to church on Sunday, and locked it upl safe in the bookcase. The prisoner bad been with him three months, but left on the 4th of August. Had missed the key of the bookcase and some other keys before she went away. He had the locks altered and a I new key made for the bookcase. Did not see the pri soner on Sunday. He expected the prisoner at twelve o'clock on Monday. She did not come. He got a constable. They went to No. 26, Corbett's-court, Brawn lane, Sp;taffields, to see the prisoner. Mrs. Stanley, where she lodged, told her of the loss. She was snr prised and sorry. He told her that he wished to search I her boxes. She said he might look. He did ; and found the box full of valuable dresses, and some papers; and among them a milliner's and silk mercer's bill. Has not seen the note since; can't swear who wrote it, but either she or his wife endorseJ it. _ _ neross-examined.—lt was on the evening 9f Satur day, the 12th of August, that he saw the note last.— Mrs Brookes took the book up stairs herself on Saturday or Sunday. Can't swear that the note was in the book on Sunday night. There is a servant in the house. He locks his door. No one has any occasjon to come into his bedchamber. That was the only 54:14 in the book.— Mr:Revell pajd it to him - on the 25th July, and he took no other in Ole meantime. Anne Brookes, wife of the last witness, corroborated the testi mony of her husband. Cross examined.—Did not see the prisoner at her house after she ' ,went away front the service. Has the same female servant who took her place, but the is not here. Re-eirritted.—She gave witness reason to believe that she would be at the house on Monday. She said that she would call agaiu in about a week. Maria Anne Wyatt, examined" by Mr. PHILLIPS. — Is muse at the prosecutor's. S sw the prisoner come to 'the house on Sunday between eleven and twelve. Mau Pm and miitreu were at church. George Buckley, her &pow servant, opened the door, and :hewed her into a room. Witness saw her in a room on the second floor. She wished to leave it to go to the water clbset, which is below stairs, and goes down two steps from the parlour door. She wAs down stairs about fire minutes. She appointed to be at the houses:text day, about one o'clock. She did not come. George Buckley is journeyman to the prosecutor, and partly corroborated the evidence of the last witness. lie went back with the prisoner to her lodgings, and stayed at the Iffiuse all the evening. Catherine again walked back with bim as far as Sishopsgate-street. Cross -examined.—Mr. Brookes questioned witness as to the note only because of his being with Catherine the day before. Did not go out of the house with her, but met her afterwards, by her appointment, in Speldhurst street, to go home to calm tea at Mu. Stanley's. This was at half-past two o'clock. Mary Stanley— -The prisoner lodged in her house.. Knows George Buckley, who came home with her and took tea ; prisoner sent her on Monday to take some things out of pledge; witness saw the prisoner when in prison ; she said it was Mr. Brookes's note. and that if she (the witness) was afraid, she might shift it away from the public house. Went to Mr. Astell's with a person who got the note away; witness had preiiously left with Mr. Astell 191. and the person who accom panied her the second time made up the difference, and gave witness £4 to be given to the prisoner at different times, as she wanted. not read. Did not know a XSO note from a XS. Joseph Astell kept the Golden Lamb public house, in Spitalfields. Witness remembers Mrs. Stanley coming to his house on the 15th ef August. Witness's wife changed a .501. note for her ; she gave it to witness, who took the date and number, and placed it in his cash. box. The number was 4,760: the date, 26th of June, 1826. On the Sunday following a person came with Mrs. Stanley (a gentlemanly looking man), who paid witness SO sows. and as the rest had been paid before, witness gave up the note. He had no other 501. note. Mrs. Astell, the wife of the last witness, remembers changing a 501. note for Mrs. Stanley, which she gave her husband. Mrs. Stanley came again on Wednesday or Thursday to withdraw the note. She brought 191. and said she would bring the rest. Ambrose Bradley, a pawnbroker, proved that Mrs. Stanley redeemed on the 14th of August some articles she had pledged in the name of Catherine Fiteallen, for which she paid nearly 201. Witness had never seen the prisoner. Mary Stanley recalled, proved that the money with which she redeemed she articles she received from the prisoner. Henry Revell, of Burton-crescent, paid some money 'on the 5 5th of July to Mrs. Brookes, wife of the prose. cutor ,• one of the notes was for 501. which he had re ceived with five other notes of the like amount at the Bank. Jos. AsteU was here recalled by the Joies—When witness was asked by Limbrick the officer, he denied changing the note; when be was informed Mrs. Stanley was in custody, he admitted it. John Brampton, a dividend clerk at the Bank, proved that he paid Mr. Revell, on the ISth of July, sir 501. notes, Nos. 4,755 to 4,760. George Dyer, another clerk at the Bank, produced five 501. notes, Nos. 4,755 to 4,759, which had been returned to the Bank and cancelled. No. 4,760 bad not been returned. The prisoner declared her innocence, but called no witnesses. Mr. Justice Ga.sarsz summed up, animadverting severely on the conduct of the witness Stanley.—Verdict, The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy, on account of her taking no more, and hfer previous good character. William Mason alias Hawke:, aged 19, was indicted 'for stealing a mare, value 151. the property of Thomas Burrell.—Verdict, Guilty. James Veneer, aged 20, a chimney sweeper, was capitally indicted for burglary, under rather peculiar circumstances, is the house of Mr, Charles Hill, of West Smithfield. The prosecutor, during the night mentioned in the indictment, heard a noise as of persons talking, and searched the house and chimnies without finding any one. In the morning, the prisoner (a stout lad) was found wedged in one of the chimnies, the wall of which it was necessary to open, in order to release him. Nothing had been taken ; the burglarious act consisted in the breaking of the chimney pot, in order to admit of the prisoner's descent. The prisoner (who laughed repeatedly at the witness's depositions) alleged in hi, defence, thatle had lost some pigeons, and thought they might have pitched down the chimney. Verdict, Guilty. Several cases of purloining handkerchiefs were tried 'this day, and the RECORDER observed, that this species of crime had reached to an alarming extent in London. One-fourth of, the prisoners for trial were charged with this offence. Those convicted were transported for life. Margaret Drew was indicted for stealing some sheets, the property of Godfrey Lazarus. Lazarus stated dist the prisoner lived as his servant, and took the articles and pledged them without his knowledge. The prisoner put in a well written &fence, in which she solemnly protested her innocence, and stated that she pawned the articles by desire of Mrs. Lazarus, and that sbe gave her own name to be put on the duplicate. She was in the habit of pledging several articles for her master, who waited outside the shop for the money.— She could not get her wages from him, and at that moment he owed her a half year's wages, which she could not get from him, Though she was in great die• tress. When she asked for what was doe to her, the prosecutor said he would one day send her to the d—l before he would pay. Lazarus admitted that he owed the prisoner Ave months' wages, but denied that he told her to pledge any thing. The Jury without hesitation found her Net Gni*. It appeared that Lazarus bad, on a former occasion, charged the prisoner with an attempt to set fire to his house, of which► it sips most clearly proved that she was *holly innocent. The Common Bseexascr refused the proseentees expenses. There are three families of the following names in the town of Croydon t—iraltlioose, Sage, and MIDDLESEX SESSION/L-11e Court IS occupied only a short time yesterday morning in disposing of one or two cases of assault of no interest, which remained over from Wednesday, after which they adjourned; the ad .journmen,t day was fixed for Thursday next. At dinner parties in Holland, soup is served up all the year round; it is also customary in that country to drink to unmarried people the health of their intended, or, in other words, of their sweethearts. It happened I that at °lie of those parties, on a hot summer's day, an English Gentleman sat , next a Dutch Lady, who had an imperfect knowledge of the English language ; after the soup, the wine, as usual, being handed round, he helped her to a glass, and drank to her (in English) the toast alluded to, of Si Madame, yotir Sweetheart ; when she, understanding him to say, is Madame, you sweat hard," instantly,rejoined, Si Yes,-Sir, that comes from the soup," to the no small astonishment of the Otntlealan. SPORTING DONCASTER, Wainewit, sitr. 11 10 :." , In our account of the Sr. Leger yesterday, we omitted to don that the distance, which is one mile, six furktngstind 136 4., (being 61 yards shorter than last y ear ), was rots in three m inutes and 0 seconds. From the best observation we could make, the flying horse Belzoni came in about the eleventh. As might be ex pected, there were many who Were not absolutely delighted with the event of the race; it was nes sooner over than all the confidence of the morning vanished from the countenances of those who had gone on the wrung side of the post ; in its room, •• portentous signs" of what's to come were too evident. Had a barbet been present to base shaved some beards, he would have charged double for the lengthened phiszes of the too confident. Our remarks on the hotses were, with little exception, borne out by the running, which gives additional force to the oft•repeated expression that . 6 to the field Is the best horse."• It is confidently asserted that the Mel of Scarborough, Mho haf for so many years unsuccessfully tried to add a St. Leger winner to his valuable stud, was so much delighted with the event of the race yesterday, that be has promised a settlement of 100 guineas per annum for life on his fortunate jockey, George Nelsen for she ez ertion and ability displayed by him in riding Tarrare. It may here be remarked, that one of the reaons which has induced many to bet against Tarrare, was that he is of the Cation breed, against which a kind of prejudice has existed: " never win," said a very good judge : "his Lordship will never win with a Cation horse.' The spell, however, is now broken. atid we have but little doubt that the Canon stock, which has been improving of late, will, ere long, be but little inferior to any in the north. It was George Dockeray, and not Frank Boyce, who rode the Genera'. The weather today has been very favourable, and the company, though very inferior to yesterday as to numbers, was highly respect able. There were present most of the Nobility apd Gentry men tioned in our former accounts; and the Matquisses of Ilertford aad C.rinarthen, Lord Muncaster, Sir E. Blount, and a few others, who escaped our observation. The sport to-day was short, but it was of the first quality for ex cellence, and gave infinite satisfaction.

These manly sports were wound up yesterday. After several trials of skill, Cann and Warren had a final hitch. In about four minutes, Cann got a crook upon Warren—( Bravo, Cann ! from the Devonian.; and Well done, Warren ! front the Cornish men.)-.... This was a critical period for botb ; they were pulsed on a balance for some seconds--one was sure to go. The strength of Cams at length prevailed, and Warren was thrown, admitting his defeat by jumping up and shaking hands with his subduer. Cann was then entitled to the first prise of ten sovereigns; Warren to the second, of six sovereigns; Glanville to the third, of four sovereigns; and Moyle to the fourth, of one sovereign. PED EST RI ANISM. Wednesday last, a man named Gibson, undertook, for a wager of SOL to walk from Norwich to Yarmouth in seven hours and a half, and carry four pounds worth of copper coin, weighing four stones four lbs. He started from Bishop Bridge at five o'clock in the morning, and accomplished the first 12 miles in three hours, and ar. Jived at Yarmouth half an hour within the time. Another instance of religious fanaticism has recently occurred at Vivilla, in Italy, where a father has de. stroyed his three children to obtain for them an earlier admission into Paradise. There appears to have been nothing in the conduct of the father to excite a suspicion of his sanity, and the atrocious act would seem to have sprung entirely from religious phreAzy. Every man would if possible be an idler, and in the hope of being able one day to indulge in this propensity of our common nature, nearly ail men are desirous of becoming wealthy; that is, of accumulating the savings of labour until they can live without any, or with very little, personal exertion.
