This morning the Quarter Sessions for the City of London commenced, before the LORD MAYOR, Al dermen Sir R. C. GLYN, C. SMITH, J. Smtxx, Cox, THOMPSON, the RECORDER, COMMON SERJEANT, and Sheriff GARRATT. The Court was occupied a con siderable time with a petition of the Fellowship Car men. A number of Gentlemen, summoned for the Grand Jury, were fined £lO each for non. attendance. The Grand Jury being formed and sworn, the RE CORDER proceeded to charge them, which he did in a most impressive.speech. He lamented the heavy state of the calendar, which contained crimes of a very serious nature, murder and manslaughter, high way robberies, and crimes of a revolting nature—to all which he craved their most serious attention. After this the Grand Jury was dismissed, a Common Jury sworn in, and the regular business of the Court proceeded in. The elegant Cross presented to his MAJESTY by the Ladies of Edinburgh, was the work of Mrs. SKENE, of Rubislaw, daughter of the late Sir WIL LIAM FORBES, Bart. His MAJESTY wore it in his hat on all State occasions. The Journals of Madrid contain long details of various advantages gained by Milans, Roten, and Torrijos, in Catalonia. The latter has obtained a most important advantage over Romanillos, who blockaded Cervera, which he had threatened to de stroy and put all the inhabitants to the sword. Tor-' rijos, with 560 foot, 33 horse, and three pieces of cannon, completely defeated him, and dislodged him from his position of Cuquelaila, which he occupied with 3,000 men. A band of 400 men,. from Cata lonia, has entered the district of Alcaniz, in Valencia, within a few days, and acts hostilely towards the Con stitutional system. Some troops are in pursuit of them. The dispersion of the partizans of Niebla, in Andalusia, and of the Serrania de Ronda, has caused seven or eight bands to be formed, which threaten to become stronger, and to resume offensive operations. Estremadura, hitherto tranquil, begins to furnish par tizans to the Defenders of the Faith, who have beaten a column of militia in the mountains of Guadaloupe. The regiments of active Militia of Gallicia, destined for Catalonia, refuse to march, though the Authori ties have endeavoured by the mildest persuasion to make themselves obeyed. The new levy to replace the army meets everywhere with difficulties. FERRY HARTY, EAST 'END OF THE ISLAND OF SHEPPY.--i• In excavating by the side of the slope hill, belonging to Mr. Young, where they are making the well, they_have found an entire hut or small house, buried under the earth, apparently from part of the Lill falling down and covering it. It is of the most remote antiquity, and I have prevailed on them not further to demolish this extraordinary antique, but to clear away the rubbish, for which we have sent to Sheerness for assistance. Two skeletons have been found. The building had no roof, or it might have been of some perishable material ; the walls were wood, and no iron or other metal is seen. These are flints and hard stones, apparently intended for axes, and cutting intruments, with handles of wood, quite complete, and in good preservation ; and earthen ware utensils (one appears to have been a lamp), a few fish-hooks, of hard stony horn, and an immense, quantity of a kind of horse hair. Mr. Barrow, the resident Commissioner of Sheerness, has arrived, and by his desire a fence will be erected to inclose and pre serve this extraordinary remnant of antiquity." . MOSS' EXTRAORDINARY CASE. 7110/4 THE DUBLIN JOURNAL. A singular marriage is likely to be regularly lin net:need in a few days. Unprejudiced towards , the parties, we shall give a detail of the afflair with as much brevity as possible: A short time since a summons vi,!: obtained at the Head Office of Police a ga in s t two Individtrals, who answer to the names of C. and 14. p-, to appear before the Magistrates there, to hear the accusation of W. N—, for aiding and abetting in procuring the intermarriage of M. P—, aged about 58. with a Miss M'G—, about 13 years old, contrary to the forms of the Statute provided in such case, &c. The individuals who had procured this summons were accompanied by the young Lady, her mother, and by their agent, Mr. T. DOWNINO, and their legal adviser, Counsellor HusAND. It was stated to the Magistrates, that on Sunday, the 11th of August, Miss M'G—, who had been in duced to leave her boarding-school by what she con sidered to be the mandate of her mother, but which that mother now declares to be a false document, was brought to town and met by Mr. C —, who it seems had been left one of the Executors to the Will of the young Lady's father, and by M. the bride groom : the juvenile bride, it seems, next signed a document, termed an assignment of the property to Mr. C—, and, as now stated; imagining that her mother had approved of the union, she accompanied her admirer, Mr. P—, his friend Mr. C—, and a Clergyman, to Bridge -street, and thence to a mansion in the vicinity of Lucan, where, in the presence of a select few, the Clergyman pronounced the nuptial benediction. The young bride on her return to town having, as is stated, been informed that her mother disapproved of the union, immediately burst into tears, declared what had occurred, and enumerated a variety of cir cumstances connected with this singular case ; she was immediately separated from her admirer, and all the parties who protested against the marriage Sought redress from the Magistrates. They, however, were not certain that it came within their jurisdic diction, and declined to proceed forward in the matter until the opinion of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench was first obtained. Meantime affidavits were filed by the pal ties who defended the foregoing ap peal, and Mr. M. P. and Mr. C. obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus, and by virtue of such document the young wife was brought before Judge BURTON, &c. a few days back, and there regularly claimed by Mr. M. P. as his bride. The whole case was heard by the Judges with great patience and attention. Mr.O'llars cal.!. attended on behalf of Messrs. M. P. and C. Mr. HUBAND on the other side. _ _ _ The Habeas having been dismissed the little girl was handed over to her mother's care, and Mr. Hu- SAND informed Mr. DOWNING that he was at liberty to proceed against Mr. M. P. and Mr. C. forthwith; accordingly a summons was yesterday obtained at the Head Otfice—before the Magistrates of which this most singular case will be again discussed. • , Mr. Mr. Mr. A Peko pumpion, originally from Bohemia, grown by Henry Ford, labourer, of Rodmill, which measures five feet in circumference, and weighs 761bs. was on Friday exhibited in a window at Brighton. In the garden of Mr. Harris, at Gosport, is some Indian corn, now in full ear. There is now growing in the garden of a Gentle man belonging to the Dock-yard at Sheerness, a species of the gourd genus, the seed of which was brought from Van Dieman's Land, in the Dromedary store-ship. It is called by the natives of that island Toparra, and bears a beautiful white flower. The gourd is in the form of a bell, measuring ten inches in length, and nineteen in circumference. ' A sporting schoolmaster, a few days since, bought a dog of the pointer breed ; but the animal, on trial, not posseising the necessary qualifications, was re-' turned by the purchaser, accompanied by a note, quaintly stating, that the "dog knew nothing of punctuation!" Monday last, Lord PA LN4 E ASTON 's gamekeeper, at Broadlands, near Romsey, procured a quantity of gunpowder to destroy a hornet's nest, and was en gaged in laying the train, when a spark accidentally fell among the gunpowder. He was knocked down by the force of the explosion, and his face shockingly burnt and shattered. He now lies in a dangerous state. A remarkable instance of the boldness and ferocity of the sparrow-hawk was witnessed at Market beep ing on Sunday se'nnight. Just as the congregation were returning from Divine Service in the afternoon, a hawk of the abovementioned genus made a stoop at a swallow which had alighted in the centre of the church ; and, notwithstanding the surrounding spec tators, and incessant twitterings of numbers of the victim's friends, the feathered tyrant succeeded in bearing his prey triumphantly into the air. Suaies.—A common streaked snake, of unusual size, was killed lately in the town of Fredonia, Chau tauque county (N.Y.), from which were taken ninety eight young ones, of from five to seven inches long, and of sufficient animation to crawl about with con siderable spirit. A letter from Petersburgh (United States), dated August 9, says, " We attended a novel exhibition on .Tuesday last. An individual, named Neal, has suc ceededin domesticating two rattle-snakes (male and female), which he exhibits as curiosities worthy the , countenance of the Public; and, indeed, if we could divest ourselves of those revolting feelings which the sight of a snake is calculated to awaken, we would say we were pleased, or rather astonished, at the ex hibition. The complete docility of the reptiles—their I playfulness—the harmless manner in which they ca ress their keeper—are astonishing ; not more so, how ever. than the freedom he takes with them, handling them in every possible shape, thrusting his fingers in their very mouths, and exposing to view their fangs, around which is concealed the deadly poison with which this venomous race is armed. To demonstrate that the poison in these snakes was as active and pow erful as ever, a live rat was produced, which the male snake almost instantly attacked. In about '2O minutes after the rat died, violently convulsed. So soon as the rat ceased to breathe, the snake prepared to swallow him, which he accomplished in about 15 minutes. It may be worthy of remark ) that the snake made only one stroke at the rat, instinct assur ing him that one was sufficient. Another rat was produced, which he attacked and gave it only one stroke, as in the first instance.—American Paper. :.„ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • I . _ BETTING at PRESTON ox . DONCASTER ST.

There were several matches which excited very little interest, except to the owners. BOXERS. The match between Josh Hudson and Barlow, takes place to morrow, within forty miles of the metropolis. A smashing fight is expected—the countryman (Barlow) rather the favourite. Cyrus Davis, in reply to the challenge of John Cooper, says— " I would wish for Cooper to state where I might meet him to make a deposit, as my money is ready, to fight him the same day that Mat tin and Randall fight, or that of Spring and Neate, for 100 sovereigns, and not less." COURSING EXTRAORDINARY. Tuesday,.as a Gentleman, residing in Nelson-square, Black friars-road, was travelling over Putney Heath with two grey hounds, for the purpose of having a few days coursing with a friend near Kingston, a hare by chance crossed the road, which the dogs instantly pursued, and were soon nut of sight. The Gentleman, after a considerable length of time, not having been able to learn in what direction they had gone, was told by two abouring men he met, that they had seen the hare and her pur suers at the distance of nearly two miles off, whither the Gen tleman immediately hastened. On his arrival there, he observed. about two hundred yards further, some boys who had just come up to the dogs and hare, all of which they found lying dead within a few yards of each other. It did not appear that the hare had been caught, as there were no marks of violence about her. Tuesday, seven hair-dressers were fined ss. each at the Glasgow Police Court, for shaving on Sunday. PUNISHING AN ALDERMAN!—The following is an extract from the ancient City Records of London: 4' nem°Las Wnyroan, or Wir.roari, an Alderman, having neglected to line his cloak which he used in the procession, it is adjudged by the Court that the Loan MAYOa and all the Alder men shall Intl:Vast with hire! This penalty is awarded on him as a punishment for his stinginess." A VAGRANT MONKEY.—.-NIARMADUKE LAWSOW, Esq. an acting Magistrate for the County of York, being examined before a Committee of the House of Commons on the vagrant laws, was asked if he had ever known an instance of anything except a vagrant having been included in a pass? He replied in the affirmative, and related the following cnmstance : 4' A man who had a monkey, which was the means of his sub sistence, in going up and down the country, was taken up for begging: he had a regular pass made out for Scotland, with the usual allowance of Bd. per day. The man said that he could not • maintain himself and his monkey on that sum, and the conse quence must be that he must dispose of him. The Clerk having been much amused and pleased with the tricks and grimaces of the monkey, said, we will pass him too.' Accordingly a blank pass was filled up for the monkey under the name of ' John Strange,' also with the allowance of Bd. a day, and by which he was pissed out of the North Riding into Scotland." CHEAP LIVING.—In Aberystwith, :a few days ago, three fine fowls were bought for fifteen pence! COSH EXCHANGE, MARE-LANE, &PITHIER 9.—The supply of new Wheat being again small this morning, and that only from Essex and Kent, which does not come to hand in such perfect condition as we have had it heretofore, caused a ready sale for fine dry samples, at an advance of 2s. per quarter on laic Mon day's prices; and all other descriptions fully maintain that day's currency, although the demand was very slack for the inferior sorts* last year's growth.
