DERBY. TUESDAY MORNING. The State Trials, which come on this week, and which were expected to begin bn Wednesday, will not commence till Thursday. The former day will be occupied in calling over the Grand Jurors. whom a is necessary to assemble on the occasion of a Ses sions of Oyer and Terminer, and in going over the rune, of the Petty Jurors, summoned in the same way. In addition to the overt acts set forth in the indictment, we understand murder is charged to have been committed. The person against whom this ac cusation is principally directeil is Jeremiah Brandreth. The list of witnesses for th e Crown comprehends no fewer than two hundred and forty names. Of these I several are accomplices, and from this circumstance it is inferred that the cross-examinations will mend to a considerable length. Some difficulty has arisen as to the course fittest to be pursued in a case like the present. On former occasions the prisoners have been tried singly or col lectively. To take the latter course—to put between' forty and fifty persons on their trial at once, would be attended with much inconvenience; and. to give every individual a separate trial, may be found equally open to objections, though of an opposite character. In this situation of things, the Law 01E -1 cers are understood to have determined on making a selection of those against whom the evidence is most conclusive. To this legal novelty, however. it is probable that considerable opposition will be given by the Counsel for the accused. as they are stated to be of opinion the acts of the individuals thus distinguished will be likely to receive a colouring which would not attach to them, viewed in connexion with all the proceed. ings of those with whom they have been concerned. Many of the prisoners are very young. and' in the humblest situations et life. The whole of them. or nearly the whole of them. are spoken of as being ex tremely illiterate. Brandreth, the person accused of the murder, has lately - deported himself in a strange way. Among other eceentricities, he has far a con siderable time suffered his beard to grow, and per• sists in refusing to be shaved. The name of Oliver does not appear among the witnesses. The trials will take place in the Couaty Hall, which has been fitted up for the occasion. All the Barristers of rank and talent en this Cir cuit have been retained for the Crown, with the ex ception only of Mr. DENMAN. The Crown have no less than ten Counsel, namely, the Arro*NEY and SoLICITOH-GINERAL, Serjeants VAUGHAN and Cop- Lay. Messrs. GURNZY. CLARKS., RICHAIMON, Rita- Dalt. REYNOLDS, and BALMY. Serjeant Comte was, it is understood, retained for the Crown immediately after the termination of Dr. WartioN's trial. Mr. tOCKITT, Solicitor for the Crown. Against this formidable phalanx, Mr. DENMAN and Mr. Coots, of Manchester, are assigned for the prisoners. They may claim two Counsels for each person accused, and should they exert this right, they would hive four score and eight opposed to the ten Crown Lawyers. The list of the Petty Jury comprehends about 500 names, among whom are several individuals respect. able from rank and property. None of the Judges have yet arrived. Four are ex. petted, namely, the Cum, Batton, Judges DALLAS. Anus??, and HOLaoID. In the forenoon of Saturday last, a barn occupied i by Mr. WILLIAM Fowcza at Elbow, and which con tained the produce of about thirty acres of oats, was discovered to be on fire, and before any effectual as. ' sistance could be afforded was, with its contents, wholly consumed. Monday night, about twelve o'clock. the house of Mr. BAYLESS,. High -street, Borough, corn and hay factor, was discovered to be on fire, by smoke issuing from the vaults under the house where a quantity of hay was deposited. The property was got out of the house and the family removed before the fire spread. It was three o'clock before the fire was got under ; considerable damage was done to the premises. A, dangerous accident occurred on Wednesday last, to the Rev. C. Covren, of Tiverton, by the burst ing of a double-barrelled gun ; his left arm is almost shattered to pieces, and serious apprehensions are en tertained for his life. A letter from Stockholm, dated September SO. says, ie According to the Royal Ordinance of the SOth of Apnl, the sale and use of coffee is prohibited from to-morrow in public-houses, as well as at fairs and auctions. in all Sweden s the use of Champagne, Burgundy.

An order haatately been made by the Lords of the Treasury, that all persons employed under the Board of Works are in future to give in with their estimates an attested account of the prime cost of all the Mate riots to be used both in building and in repair*, on which they are to be allowed 15 per ceat. which in eludes all charges whatever. ' The Sydney Gaseits (Botany Bay) informs us, that an animal, hitherto unknown, accompanied by two of its young, was lately found in the newly dis covered country near Sydney : it may be pronounced , a species of the jerboa tribe. Its resemblance is 'both midway between that of the rabbit and the rat; the ears short and erect, like those of the former—the head longer, like that of the latter, as is also the tail, whiels.is very long, but terminating with a thick fur.

He had lately ordered, too, that the allowance of brea.l in the Compter shoul.l be augmented two ounces ptr diem. An Office; said, his Lordship's order about the bread had been already made known to the kiddies out of doors through the medium of a morning maker (a woman who steal, mats at hall doors at an early hour), who had been in prison law enough to receive the improv ed sire and quality of allowance. The consequence was, that it was determined • upon the part of the pickpockets to vote the thanks of the body to his , Lordship for making up for all his past severiti.s to them by giving them a little comfort.—The LORD MAYOR —"ls it known to diem that they are to have A little increase of work, too ? I should like to deal candidly with them."—The Officer said, he believed not.—The Loan Islavoa—"Lazy habits in prison hive dime more in confirming vicious pursuits thaa even the example of desperate acts, however romantic. I feel all the reified I ought for the good wishes of those numerous visitors, and I must tell them that their labour in prison will be proportioned to the number of calls they make upon me. Sixteen shall be employed from morning till night in grinding corn, and others shall bake."—Mr. Hosz.ga said, the lives of the gentlemen to whom his Lordship alluded, as his most constant visitors, were so gay, that upon the most rational estimate one countryman would do The, work of halt a dozen of them. Their constitu tions never stood more than a few years, and he re. marked the rapid change of appearance that followed the several acts for which they were committed.— The Officers told his Lordship, that the thieves would be much disappointed at finding their indolent habits meddled with. There were some, however. who would be industrious, but for the women of die town, who brought to them in prison the fruits of their theft and prostitution.—The LORD Marcia said, he should endeavour to remedy chat, as well as many other evils, before he went out of office. George Woods, a boy about ten years of age, WAS brought in by Clare, the officer, who stated that he had found him lying on the pavement outside the Mansion-House door, in a most deplorable state, being unable to stand from the effects of fatigue and the want of hood. The boy, upon being questioned by the LORD MAYOR, stated, that he belonged to Liverpool, and had come to London is search of his parents, who had deserted him and two brothers about seven years ago, and no tidings could be ob tained of their residence. Tired of the hall-starved life he had led so long at Liverpool, he formed a resolution, young as he was, of endeavouring to trace his unnatural parents. He subsisted upon charity by the way, and had only arrived in town three days, when he learned by the merest accident that his fa ther and mother were living at Poplar. He went to the latter place, and was there informed that his father died about a month since, and that his mother was living on the town by means of prostitution. His clothes were completely worn out, his feet terribly blistered, and when found by the cfficer he was ex hausted for the want of foOd, of which he had not tasted for three days. The Lonu MAYOR ordered him to be taken care of until he was sufficiently reco vered to be seat home to his parish. HATTONGARDIR.—HardIy a night passes *ithout several burglaries, robberies, and other nocturnal de predations being committed in the parish of Clerken well, from the number of poor housekss,balf-starved wretches, who are, for want of any other shelter, ne cessitated to sleep is the new built houses, and on the brick-kilns, in Spa-fields. From• the numerous com plainti made by the inhabitants in that neighbour hood owing to the depredations committed on them, the patrol, watchmen, and constables were ordered to be on the alert, and to take all such vagrants into custody, and bring them before the Magistrates at this Office, to be dealt with according to law ; in consequence of this order, the following fourteen poor wretches were brought up to this Office yesterday for examination, viz.—Robert Rockwell, John Williams, Thomas Nicholls, James Milroy (a poor wretch with a boy seven years old, his son), James Gibbs, George Henley, John Marlborough, Robert Bishop, William Newman, Thomas Hardy, John Carnes, James John son, George Kennedy, and Thomas Batsford.—The most part of them exhibited the greatest picture of r• wretchedness we ever remember to have seen, being ragged, filthy, and starved. The Chuichwardens and Overseers of the Parish were present. The poor creatures were examined separately as to means of subsistence, place of settlement, Ste. Some had no parish that they knew of ; some had distant parishes, such as in Scotland, the Orkney Islands, Wales, the City'of Chester, etc. but had not the means to go hone, and being refused pines, or parish relief, were necessitated to sleep ea the briek-kilns for warmth, where many such poor creatures were found stay cated during chi summer. They were mostly dis charged from the Navy; and subsisted by getting an occasidnallob at the Docks, beating carpets, assisting the brick-makers, coal-heavers, or dust-men ; but the penny they received 'was too little to support nature, and out of which they could not afford to pay for a, lodging. The unfortunate wretches stated that they cookftet nothing to do,.tbat they would be happy` to work if they got it, • and had feequeepy applied for parish relief to no purpose; that on such occasions the answer they invariably received from the Over sews was, K You are young and able to work—go l and work, we will not relieve you." In such cases what were they to do I—The Magistrates lamented the Legislature bed not devised some remedy in such ,cases,-or enabled them to - compel Overseers to relieve such neceuitous prior as were willing and able to woik if they could get it, and to punish the idle and lazy. They wise unwilling to add to their miseries, and were quite at a loss bow to act, but should have it decided at the Quarter Sessions.—They were all committed to the House of Cunectionas rogues and vagabonds, wandering about cad sleep i ng in the open, air, having no visible mean; rf subsibtence. They were eommi-ted till the Sessions, whets the case is le be laid het..e the Ch BOW-sTnEEr. —.Anne lamer was yesterday brought before the rettiug • agistrAte, having been sppre. briefed by Won's .arty of ,Patroie„ bele , g net to the Office, under suspicious, circumstances, uI Goa /ell wee-, with several Alcides a btelelothes, tehe sksletott or pick lock keys, and a file saw, cApa . .ic cutting iron, in her possession, lee Ft id ry eight The account she gave of the poe esioe of SOC:i al , ticks was, that she lead brought them from her hes-- band in Newgate, who was a convkt there urdzr sentence of le yeers' transportAtion. In consequence et this stswrn in, Mr. Brown, the keeper of New gate, and one of his turnkeys, attended the axe:luna tion yesterday, when the tursikey identified the clothes to he the seine that she brought out ot Newgate en le Ida y eveuing, which belonged to her buelnuad, and which he used there dining his coutinement previous to his being sere to Botany Bey. stated, that he examined the hed•cluthes very particularly prey'. eus to her bringing the oot of the i .rition, and he WAS positive the pick lock keys and saw were not among them then. Mr. Brown observed, that it was impossible to guard against the ingenuity of women, without they were stripped entirely naked, as they head been known to take improper things inch New. gate in cabbages and bacon. The Turnkey said, he had no doubt but that the largest pick-kick key would open the gates of Newgate. Mr. Brown asked him which he nieent ; be replied, the iron gates, but did not think that lances would have eventuaLy escaped out of the prison. Vickery, the Officer, exa mined them, and said they were the best Fick leek keys he had ever seen. The hugest was MA .:e to Act buds ways, and he had no doubt hut th it it would open any lock it could enter. James and his father were allowed to be the best manufacturers of pick-lock keys that were known. He had seen a sack full of their making. Mr. Breese' vinery. d, that the prisoner had applied for per 11115:.1%.:1 r(' a:;•• company her husband to II many Bay, but her I cc conduct was not the way to gain diet object. There being no direct charge against her, she was discleo ged. MAttLlloßoliutt-STREET. —William D.ql, a youth of genteel appearance, was charged with fraudulently obtaining ot Mr. Roberts, of Princes -street, Leic:ster. square, a dozen plumes of feathers. The prisoner called at the house of the prosecutor, who is a whole sale feather-maker, on Friday, and stated that he had come Irani Mr. Fr mks, a hatter, in Barbican, for a large order. Mr. Franks dealt largely with the prosecutor, and the prisoner's order was not doubted. He'stated that a military Captain had given An order for twelve dozen of ostrich plume, and as he was about to leave the country, the orcLr must be corn• pleted by Tuesday morning. To give eciAt to his commission, he was very particular as to the written acknowledgment for the order, &c. and in doing this he took an opportunity of pressing for one dozen plumes as a sample, which he took away with him. It happened that the prosecutor could tor get the eigh the order in time, and he callcd upon Mr. Freaks to apprize hue of it, when the treed wasedescovered. The prisontr had the impudence to call on the prose. tutor soon after his witted from Mr. Franks's, and he appeared anxious that the erdtr should be com pleted in time. He was takers into custody. It tinn ed out that the prisoner had sold the articles fir con siderably less than the manufacturing prices. He was iernandt:d for further ex aminatien. J. Taylor and G. Stemma, two young men, were charged with committing a burglary and robbery in the house of Mrs. Dadley, in Noith•street. Fitzroy. square. On Tuesday morning last, at an early hour,• the. dwellin7-house of the Prosecutrix wils . entered means of a false-key, and the drawers burst open and• ransacked of a great quantity of valuable linen, money, and plate : aii old patch. work quilt was also taken, it is supposed for the purpose of a wrapper, with which the thieves effected their escape. When the family awoke, the loss •was discovered, and in formation was given to Howard, the Constable, who apprehended the prisoners at a coffee-shop in St Giles's,- between two and three o'clock the foillowing morning. Menzies lirackenburg stated, that on the morning of the robbery he observed Stevenson poing along Tottenham-street, in the directiou of Mrs. Dad. ley's house. Robert Hatusbrook stated, that about six o'clock on Tuesday morning, he and his brother met Stevenson in Charlotte-street; Le carried a vett large bundle on his h, ad, wrapped in a patch-work quilt. He made a sign to them to let him pass un-' noticed, and witness's brother observed that he sus. petted something had was going on. A man joined him in the New.road, but witness cannot say whew Cher it was Taylor or not. The Constable heard the prisoners call to each other, about nine o'clock on the• morning of the robbery, and saw them whisper. M.
