SHE STATESMAN LONDON BESSIONS—(This DAY.) GUILDHAI.L.—(THis Nfoaxi NG.) QUg:EN SQUAB Tins D &T.) This day these Sessions commencesl before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen, and City Officers. On the Grand Jory being sworn, the Recorder add d them. observing. that the dee eeeee of crime was very ohs inns which he mainly attributed to the welt regulated system of Police, and the new prison dis elpline of hand labour, which operated as a terror to juvenile offenders. He also strong'y observed on several presentments which are before the Jury relative to complaints of nuisance.— On the (Tread Jury retiring, the Petit Jury were sworn, sod they were oczupied trying trivial eagles of assault. J. DeWitt, a young man of genteel appearance. was brought before the Sitting Magistrate (Mr. Alderman Cce,) charged with having committed, with other persons, a most wanton and outrageous assault on a Mr. Itexworth in Wiiitecross Street prison. The cOmplainsta stated, that on a day named, he was wak ing In the yard of the prison, and was accosted by the defend• ant, who invited him to join him. They walked together for .me minutes, flowed by a numb-c of the prisoners, and was shortly taken near the pump, under which he was thrown, and the operation of pumping commenced, by which he got a very severe ducking. The conflict of the defendant, while in this situation, continued his belief that this outrage was premedi tated. Defendant held him so fast as to prevent his getting sway, notwithstanding he got a tolerable portion of the liquid element hithgelf.--When it was presumed that he had been sufficiently soaked, defendant got up and left him to encounter the mirth of the bystanders. The defendant denied the assault altogether, and said that the persons who lit"! followed them round the yard, came suddenly behind, anti forced them outer the pump. and that be Op( not hold complainant down as tt as repre. senteil. He was ordered, hot , to find 1)41 for the assault; the Alderman observing, tbat•the Magistrates had determined to 'oppress the system of outrage which had of late become much too preveleut. Two young lads, named Masters and Howe, the youngest about 9 years of age, were brought up on a charge of being found asleep under the shambles in Fleet Mathes, between the boors of 3 and 4 o'clock this morning, and not being able is gives goad account of themselves, were ordered to be coofined in Briileseeti for one month. The father of Masters said be felt much obliged by this de termination of the worthy Alderman. His boy, he said. had latterly 'abed up with come bail characters, and fre qu-ntly absented himself from home for one or two months tozettier, and he bad no deubti that a little wholesome correction wools! prove highly beneficial. The little urchin. seemed unmoved, and left for their destination with perfect indifference. John Edinials and J. bark were bronpht op, and exa. mined npon s charge of felony. and. Alex. Burgess, another of their Kant, WIII4 finally examined spun a charge of rob• bery at :be boon of Mr. W. Henersly, Vauxhall Road, on the 27th ult. It appeared, that the back door of the prosecutor's bottle had been left open by the servant, and some dustmen coin ing out °Mat door, one of whom carried a bundle, which eoatained table and beat linen, I adies' apparel, and a pair of trowsers,the property of the prosecutor. They were all stopped and brought before theilagistrate. Burgess was sworn to as the man who carried the bundle. lie was fully cotnmitted upon this charge, but the other two prisoners were re cognized to be seen lurking about the house of a laundress in Tuthil Pields one evening, about three weeks ago. when it was robbed of several sheets, &c. They were also sats peeled of being 4oncerneal in a vast number of robberies cotnuaitted in that neighbourhood lately, and censequently were remanded tor another hearing. About twenty prisoners of both sexes were brought op from St. Margaret:o watch-house, upon various charges. Tbl'y were all bad characters who sally forth at dusk of the evening. from the 'Adieus of the Alinonry, Duck Lane, Pie Street, anal other dens of infamy in that neigh bourhood Un this occasion, they assailed the watchmen, knocked the old fellows down in the street, and broke their lanterns; but by the assistance of the police and constables, the prisoners, out of many inure, were secured. They were all committed. WORSHIP STREET.—(Tnis DAY.) MAOISTERIAL OPINION OF FRAUD. This morning alt. Jas. Warren applied to W. licxxtrr, Esq., for a summons, under the following eireunistancea : —Mr. %V. stat,d, that yesterday morning he took a place on tb • Holloway stage, fur the King's ►lead Holloway, the fare of which was ►s.

Mr. Illomarr.—l do not think it amounts to a fraud, and I should be wrong in granting your application. The man might come here and say he put the half crown in his pcket with other silver, an I by mistake have given you the bad one ; therefore the hest advice I can give you will be to apply to the Court of Requests, where you will gain redress as a debt. Mr. Warren.—This is hard I should thus lose it. Mr. BuNsavr.—You will not lose it, but gain it asa debt. Mr. Warren then withdrew, without expressing a wish to shit a higher Court.

He was fully committed to Winchester tol, to take his trial for the offence. He is a hearty looking short man, not of a prepossessing appearance: He conducted himselt very orderly when under examination ; a tear was observed glistening in his eye when first he appeared before the Magistrate, but he recovered himself immediately, and betrayed no feeling afterwards when the several depopitians were read over to ham; he did not seem at all moved at the depositions of his two young brothers, who stood near him. When asked if he wished to say any thing, he replied —" No, not y et."v To a gentlemen present he said the slept th, b sidr himself; br 4GENCE. EPIGR 111.

The Lent corn and pub..., taken together, may be called a large crop. To these trouble.* of the farmers, have been auperadded the calamity of flood, in exposed situations, whence heavy and ruinous losses, both in lite and dead stock, have happened to many. The emcees !lien of dry, warm. anti beautiful weather, which we hay.- ex perlenceil of late, has been attended with the happiest effect!, and nothing is probably now left abroad, even in tie latest MS triets.
