Mimeses Sesstons—YesterdayJoseph Sharp was indicted for stealing four ounces of bread, value one penny, and four ounces of beef, value one penny, the goods of the Reverend the Vicar of Twickenham. Mr. ARABIN stated the case for the prosecution, in the absence of Mr. Rolland, who was Counsel in the cause. The Learned Gentleman said, the prosecutor was Vicar ef Twickenham, and the prisoner was his gardener. The prosecutor having occasion to make some search id a tool house in the garden, was struck Yesterday the Annual Meeting of the Ship-owners at finding a slice of beg/ and of bread, in one of the Society was held at the George and Vulture, Corn- drawers in which seeds were kept!

The following obserrations oa the great battle between Neer. from Bristol, and HICKMAN. the Ga►tight Mee, are copied from _ . the Bristol Gentle of yesterday • " l'erhaps no fight ever exceeded this in stand-up manly hit- ting—there was neither shifting, hugging, nor fibbing; it was all 1 in slash away, straight-forwafd blows; though consisting of 1 , nineteen rounds, it lasted but twenty-two minutes. Hickman *hewed great spirit, and his backers were perfectly satisfied that be did all he could do, but he stood no chance against the supe rior power of heat, as long as the latter kept his excellent guard. " It would be endless for us to attempt giving aU the neat things that were said ; such as • l'e're all in darkness—the Gas is out !'—• What's become of the Londoner's waggon to carry home the Bristol solid ?—alluding, it is supposed, to a distin guished Loan-Contractor from town, who had sported gaily on the occasion, and was reported to have said he would not leave a Sovereign behind.

" Two Bristol Boys, iisrek and Ferris, threw op their toppers, and it was thought there would have been some play, but the Fuld-Marskol prevented it. " Such was the intense feeling excited in this city, that the streets were crowded as if an election contest was at its height, all eagerly enquiring the result, which was known here about seven o'clock." ROYAL TENNIS COURT. inuiriek, the man of colour, took his Benefit at this place yesterday ; and excepting the combat between Eales and his pupil (Acton) nothing of any interest occurred. The Suffolk Champion, who, it seems, had been spending the morning with Mr. Lushinstint, after his arrival from Hungerford, mountei the stage, and offered to fight Josh. Hudson, £5OO to £4OO, and odd his money was ready. Ile had no objection to fight Bud• son that evening, in a room, for £5O. Ile also wished to inform the audience, that all the horses in the kingdom could not have drawn Josh . Hudson into the ring at Hungerford on Tuesday last, to have fought him—be would fight any 13 stone man in the kingdom. This harangue was interrupted by Neat tusking his appearance in the court. The amateurs gathered round him almost to suffocation, when he was requested to ascend the stage, in order that every one present might have a sight of kis person. Neat cheerfully complied with this request, and, on making his bow, he was received with three rounds of applause. He has not the slightest mark about his face; but his left hand was in a sling, his knuckles having been severely bruised from the heavy hits he placed upon the head of his opponent. Hickman arrived in town - on Wednesday night, and is much better than might reasonably have been expected; and notwith standing the severe bruises he received in the contest, his mind, it is said, iithe most hurt ! His backer, by way of consolation, and also as a reward for his courage, presented him with a ,Cso note, notwithstanding the heavy loss he had sustained. Neat shessed at bickers on Wednesday night and on his being introduced to the Ilgry Club, the President ordered an extra go upon the occasion, to drink his health. Hundreds of persons, on the preceding evening, were unable to procure seats at the Castle Tavern, Holborn ; and last night it again over flowed—such interest has the above fi ght excited throughout the Fancy. The match is expected to be ma de in a few days between Randall and Martha, for £3OO a-side; and a bet of 1000 gui nea,' even. hozicC. Bow-stem.-1 ease which occurred Yesterday excited con tiderable interest, in the course of the following investigation be fore the Sitting Magistrate, Sir RCNAILD Waster—A woman , who gave her name as Hannah Bagley, was brought from St: Martin's watc6bnuar, under a charge by the driver of a hackney chariot, who stated, that while standing with his chariot, on Wednesday evening, on the rank in Blackfriars-road, the pri. loner came to him, and asked if be was hired? he replied in the negative, and she ordered him to drive to the Queen's Palace, Buckingham-gate, as quickly as possible. When he was about halfway on his journey, she put her head out of the windovr and told him to drive faster, which the coachman. stating that he bad a good pair of horses, did; but when they got to Buck ingham-gate, the prisoner told him to drive to Charing-cross, u the had forgot something. When he had got there. a Gentle man's carriage happening to be passing, she desired him to fol. low it, which the coachman did as fat as St. James's-street. Prisoner thee told him to drive to the Haymarket. Jar*, suspecting that all was not right, was determined to get his fare, and when he arrived in the Haymarket, just as she was going to older him somewhere over the water, be said—" It is quite time, Madam, that you pay me." M he was relating his charge, Sir Banana) Baste Interfered. and said it was unfortunate for him that he had not found another time for asking for his fare. The coachman said he ought to have done so, but she looked somewhat more respectable than her present appearance. Sir RICHARD BIZAZ asked him to explain, and the coachman said she had a large silk scarf on, and her pelisse was in better con: dation when he took her to the watch-house. The constable of the night said she talked very incoherently, and he had no doubt from her conduct that she was deranged. The Magistrate said, the account which site gave of herself fully indicated it. Sir liscuaao Boum then got up, and asked where the watch.houU keeper was? and complained of his never being at the Office; and immediately sent for him. Sir ilicuaan Maus said We must make good the loss of the scarf. It must be observed. that there were four wretched females of the lowest order locked up in the same place with the prisoner. The prisoner said that she knew nothing at all about the hiring of the coach; that she lived in Artillery-street, Blackfriars-road, and had escaped from thence by jumping out of a window, from a young man who had seduced her, and that she did not recollect being in the watch-house. The lout women alluded to were immediately searched, but nothing could be found on them belonging to the prisoner. The prisoner appeared to be in a starving condition,and said that she bad not tasted a morsel of food for three days. Sir Bantam Runs told the coachman that the woman was liable to be committed for non-payment, but it would be of no use te sand a poet creature like the prisoner to jail under such digressing circumstances. The coachman said that he was only a driver. and that he was accountable to his master for it. sir Blouse Bum said, that if his mister would call at the OMee, be would satisfy him in that respect. The worthy Magistrate dos ordered the jailor to give her every nourishment which she wadi take, and that he would pay foe it out of his private pate.. The pone creature was so weak as hardly to be able to staid, her clothes toru or her back, and entirely destitute of isaway. Sir RICUARD Bourn desired the Clerk to snake out an eider for bar admission into the workhouse, in order that she =be taken proper care of until some of her friends coad sod, which was accordingly done. --.naoV4ilu-sTarsr.—A fashionoo - • young insa of highly respectable connections, was charged with stealing a oilier table-spoon: He had called for a bacon of turtle soup at a con fectioner's in Sidney's-alley, and substituted a pewter for the di ver spoon; this, however, was discovered, he was overtaken, and the spoon found in his pocket. The prosecutor wished to let the case drop; but the Magistrate said it was a clear case of felony, and be could not suffer it to be compromised. The pri soner was remanded. Woasure-rmairr.—Two men. named Cascara and Turner, were charged with stealing forty-one pigeons from the dove-cot of Mr. Collins. of Stamford-hilt. On the birds being missed, un Tuesday morning, Mr. Collins dispatched his servant to Spital fields, to make inquiry among the pigeon-fanciers there; and while doing so at the shop of a Mr. Bailey, the prisoners came in to offer ten pair for sale, and were given into custody. Gab coigne said he had bought the birds for 15s. that morning. The other prisoner said he had merely accompanied Gascoigne to sell them. They were both remanded. Mairsam-House.--Yesterday, a boy of most diminutive makes and apparently not more than six or seven years of age, was brought before the Leos Maros, on a charge of being a house , bresher. It appeared that he bad been for so m e time em p lo y ed by housebreakers, who, after making a small aperture, put him Itbsough for the purpose . of letting them in. He was delivered me to the Philanthropic Institution, where be will be kept for I a emiderable period, and taught a trade. Users-Hats. —Yesterday, a poor player, named Wilson, jest salved from the country, applied to the sitting Magistrates (Canalises and Aerates, Esqrs.) for a little temporary relief. He led a adios by birth upon the parish of Lambeth ; and, observing that this his first appearance at the Office had made a hvourable impression upon the Magistrates, looked forward to sere permanent testimony of their indulgence. He ventured to hope, that they would enable him to change his profession alto gether, for an employment not subject to such afflicting vicissi tudes. The unfortunate man had, when a boy, fallen into the sepany of amateur actors, and been led by them to neglect the Swede to which his father had bound him, before he received any , bunt& from the instructions of his master. He was asked by Mr. CHAMBEILS, whether be bad ever applied fur work, or was merely indebted to the comic poets for the means of subsistence? The player replied, that the tragic muse was his only friend : he never could get out of her power. Mr. Cuauseas—Have you played lately in Tragedy ? Player.—l am now performing in Tragedy, Sir. Mr. Cnausaas.—lndeed I am sorry to see that you are, but I mean to ask, whether you have lately pretended to be in dis tress when you were not in that condition? The Player replied that he bad not, and observed. that the more real misery an actor felt, the less able was he to prove to an audience his claim to applause. He had tried America, but even in the barbarous state of the Stage there, his exertions were overlooked. For nine years he laboured in Holman's company, but ever as he began to 0 strut hie hour upon the Stage, the audience obliged him " to fret" much beyond the ordinary usage of the poor player. He should be happy under these cir- • cumstances to be" beard no more," and was most willing to apply himself to any sort of labour ;he Magistrates might please to assign to him. Mr. Clietaitas expressed some surprise that the applicant had not made some efforts to get au engagement in the metropolis. Poor Wilson said, he had gone to one of the great Theatre about a year ago, to see whether there was room for him, but he was again disappointed, for the 0 heavy line" was his line, and he saw that be should have every one in the Theatre for a rival in that department. He was glad at one time to engage with a Mountebank celebrated for eating lire at the country fairs, and performed in a still heavier line than before, being obliged to assist in carrying from place to place the appendages of the booth, and " to carry coals," as well as to till his character. But be never could prevail upon the manager to teach him to blow smoke through his nose and eats. Mr. Cuaanutas regretted that one so industrious should have undergone such distress, and after holding a conversation with the keeper of the workhouse, told the player that he could make a weaver of him, and have him supplied with food and lodging until he should attain a knowledge of the trade.—The player was delighted with the proipect before him, and bowed most reapedr fully to the Magistrates. Coate Escruncis, Mate-triir, Dec. 14.—The overwhelming supplies of Wheat we have had for several weeks past, having occasioned a very considerable reduction in prices, and Flour nut laving fallen as was expected, bas produced a general opinion thkt Wheat has now seen its lowest; and several millers acted epos that opinion this morning, by purchasing tolerably freely at a vadatelawat 2.. per quarter for the middling and inferior qua fides ; and prime samples at Monday's quotations. The Barley* trade is extremely heavy, and although the finest samples were offered at a decline of Os. per quarter from Mondars prices, a very small proportion of the supply was disposed ot, and the in. feriar sorts were quite unsaleable. Oats are is. per quarter lower than on Monday, but fine fresh corn met a brisk sale at that abatement. Beans are front is. to 2s. per quarter lower. &lsvunlLn Maistrr, Dan. 14.—There was a good supply this morning of all descriptions of Cattle, particularly a good chew of prime Beef, which obtained a higher price, which is usually the case before arbutus; all other descriptions are oc minal.—Corrent prices: Beet 2s. lid. to 4s.
