- OLD BAILEY. BANK PROSECUTIONS. gn Friday morning, on the Judges taking their seats in Court, several persons charged with forging Bank.notes, and uttering notes knowing than to be forged, were put to the Bar. Mr. Reynolds. the Counsel for the Bank of England. stated, that .4 consequence of the prisoners having pleaded guilty to the minor offence, he shookl not call any evidence upon the capital charge, of which they were accordingly acquitted. 'rite following then pleaded Not Guilty. generally, and will take their trials for the capital offence, vii.—Michael Sullivan. J. W. Stapleton, John Myers, James Marsden, Isaac Smith, klarriet Treniur, and Sarah Carter. James Bradfie ld, a brewer's drayman, was indicted for felo niously killing and slaying Will .= Sapwell, on the 15th of June, to the parish of St. Clement Danes. It appeared that on the day stated in the indictment, about four o'elock in the afternoon, there was a temporary stoppage in the carriage-way, on the western aids of Temple Bar. Amongst the vehicles thus stopped was a cart driven by the deceased. Win. Sapwell, which was on its way to the City. This cart stood outside of the rank that was stopped, but there was plenty of room for the drays to have passed without coming in contact, and the first did pass clear. The prisoner was the drives of the second dray, but instead of being by the side of his horses, he was riding on the tine horse, whistling very carelessly, and driving at a smartish pace. The deceased perceiving his cart in danger, called out to the prisoner to stop, or keep nearer the paveme.it ; but he paid no attention to the call, and d roceeded un until the wheel of the they came in contact with the cart and overturned it. The deceased was thrown out under the cart, and the call thr the prisoner to stop was renewed, but he went on till he was stopped by force, The deceased meanwhile was taken to a Sur geon's shop, and finally to BartilMouiew's Hospita+, where he died on the Monday following of the hurts he received in the fall. 'The Jury found the prisoner guilty. John Bates was put to the bar on 4 charge of maliciously setting fire to his own dwelling house, with intent is defraud the Sim Fire Office, when Mr. Alley applied to the Court to allow the trial to be postponed on account of the absence of material witnesses. The. Court consented to the postponement, and ordered that the tinal of the puroner should cove on hest at the next Sessions. Samuel Renton was' indicted under the " Black Act," for malicioudy cutting and stabbing a gelding, the property of Cole, Esq. valued 1031. By the gtct of l'ailiament mentioned, it is necessary, in order to establish the charge iu this indictment, that the person ac• cured should be primed to have been ovulated by malice towards the owner of the uninial. In this case it appeared that the prisoner had not even a per sonal knowledge of the prosecutor, and the Jury therefore, under the direction of Mr. Justice Burrough, acquitted the prisoner. 'SPECIAL CO3IMISSIO.V. On Friday last the Special Commission was opened at Stirling, fir the trial of those *lio stunt' charged with high treason. enu• mined during the blond' of April hist. The Grand Jury being sworn, the Lord President slope addressed them in an eloquent speech. iu which he expounded the law of high treason, and di• reeecd their attention w the principles by winch they should be guided in det:rniming the character of the bids that would be presented to them. About half past three o'clock the Grand Jury returned to the Court, and delivered to Mr. Knapp, Clerk to the Arraigns, •"Frue Bills , ' against eighteen individuals for being engaged in acts of treason at lionnyuthir, in the county of Stirling, on the sth of April On thefullowing day (Satur lay) the Court met agtin, and the Grand Jury round true Bills for I iigh 'lreasnn, against nine more individuals from Camelon, Balfrun, and St. Nitiihn's, in the county of Stirling. The Foreman of the Jury, (Vie lion. George Abercronili.i) then stated to the Court, durst tithing the painful invest4,nuion that had taken place before them, it appeared to them unit a certain person whose name it would then be impro per to mention, was deeply implicated in this case, and against whom no bill lied been preferred. The Court, after consulting some time, ordered the Grand Jury to again retire to their room, in order that they might judge whether they would return a bill against this person. Attar being absent about two hours, the Grand Jury re.urned a true bill against a person of the name of John Johnston, ifUtlll F kirk, and he was immediately brought down from the Castle and placed at the bar. Hts Lordship then severally informed the prisoners, that true bills had been found ac.unst them by the Grand Jury for high treason. The prisoners were then removed (rein the bar, and were informed that they would be arraigned on or about the tith of this month.

B. Hepburn, Brt. the Hon. Baron Norton and A. Cockburn.—ldleness is a fatal malady. There is now in the neighbourhood of Sunder-. land, belonging to Mr. Hudson, of the Saddle Inn, a field of wheat actually in full ear. This is the more surprising, as from the contiguity of this part of the country to the German ()dean, late crops are always calculated upon, as compared with the more weNtern. Four men were digging fur the scite of the new church, in the new church yard at Chelsea, on Monday, and found water about ten feet from the ground, of which they drank. They were soon af terwards taken ill, and are since dead. One man was seized with delirium, ran about the ground, throwing the spades and other implements at hid , fellow workmen, and soon after dropped down dead. It is supposed the water was in a high state of treflicti(ni. The Dublin Regisler mentions the opening atilt, Election fur that city on Siturday. Mr. Grattan was proposed by W. C. Plunkett, Esq. and Seconded by Air. Guinness. Mr. Piunkett declared, that if unfortunately Mr. Ellis should prove successful, he would hasten to London and propose a Bill, which he had no doubt of carrying fur the exclusion of Mr. Ellis from his scat in Parliament, or his office. To the business of that office he taiil he was sworn to attend—and if theretiwe he were returned lie should either abandon his ditty us a Senator, or violate his oath as a Master in Chancery. Mr. Ellis was proposed by the Mayor, and seconded by Leland Maquay. Esq. Standard silver has declined the ounce, and it is now at :is, being tld below the Mint price.
