Yesterday these Sessions commenced at Flicks's Hall before the Chairman, Mr. CONST, and a bench of Magistrates, amongst whom was the Re corder. The Grand Jury was sworn, af , er svinch the Court proceeded to the trial of offenders against whom bills of indictment had been found at a for mer Seasiono. On occasion of at motion being made for a trial to stand over, the Chairmen observed, that in conse quence of the number of orders of that kind that were made last Session, it lasted three drys longer than it should otherwise have done. The object of making such motions was, that Counsel might be able to attend the different causes in which they were engaged ; but the effect was to give a monopoly of the bovines' of the Court to the senior Counsel, and to prevent the juniors ever getting a brie: The Court should therefore in future decline ac ceding to such applications, unless a sufficient cause were stated by affidavit. This determination of the Court woe received by all the Barristers present with declarations of satis faction equally warm, and, we are persuaded, by the junior Counsel equally sincere. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday these Session a were opened by Sir JOHN PINNING as locum totems for the Loan blatroa, whose indisposition we regret to state has not abated. The Common Serjrant, Sheriffs Waitlimau and lA'illiarna, Alderman J. J. Smith, Scholey, Brown, and Bridges, were also on the bench. The Coustorr SERJEANT. in charging the Grand Jut) , for the City of London, congratulated them on the comparatively light Calendar of the prisoners fur trial from the City during the pret,eut Sessions. Not one case of the slightest interest occurred during the whole day. SURRAY SESSIONS. Ye4terdse these Sessions were opened at the Sea. siona-flouse, Hortemonger-lase. before J. lianas- Son.

In the third bout, Burn gathered himself up for retallm tion, and a manly rally followed, which ended in Bora receiving a right handed blow ou the same place, which again floored him, soul it would have won a fight. Gasman and Shelton had a act-to, but they seemed to have an understanding to play light, and some hissing enneed, when Gas threw off the gloves, and said he should spar as be liked, with some other energetic expressions, which were not well received, and Shelton jucovely thanked him fur light play.

The weather we. Ate, and highly Com:fable, but the incessant rain of the preceding day, appeared to have occasioned some degree of apprehension to many of its frequenters as to the state of the grounds, for the company was not so numerous as we should otherwise have expected to see; it was, however, of ■ more general and uniformly respect able character than is ordinarily seer. in large and promiscuous assemblies. The entertainments, as usual, comprised a vocal and instrumental concert in two acts, chiefly of light and enlivening ors, and ballads; ►he l'utileint Musevant, and a grand display offire-works, which in brilliancy of effect, variety and excellence of design, and correctness of execution, has seldo m been SW passed. The whole concluded with a beautiful and rik mg representation of Mount Vesuvius, exhibiting the precursory symptoms, the commencement, pro grave, and termination of a volcanic eruption, imitated in a style of grandeur calculated to excite the most sublime and awful serisnrioris. The lateness of the hour at which the entertainments closed, owing to the delay of the arrow' net of the concert nearly an hour beyond the usual period, by the absence of Miss CUBIT?, who tird not appear at all, and of Mr. TAYLOR, who was detained at Covent-gsrdea r theatre, puts it out of our power to pursue our notice to such length es we had intended. THE QUEEN. The Sawyers of London and its vicinity presented an Address to her MAJESTY vesterday—a numerous body of them attended. The deputation did not p toceed along the Si rand, the u►ual route .but went by Holborn. Her MAJZsTT returned the following Answer : " f am much obliged by this affectionate Address from the operative Sawyers of Loudon, Westminster, Southwark, and the Dock-yards upon the River Thames. The late con spiracy against my honour and my peace was defeated by the union of the people—tho people flirt all their political differences while they were generously defending a vilified woman and • persecuted Queen. The bad passions were never more Wildman! in our port of the rommunity, nor the kindrr and better feelings more sublimed in another. The people should never emun to remember that the great victory which they !lien aclii.ved, they achieved by union, and that it is nothing but the t thorough and entire co-operation of men of all setts and parties that ever can enable the brit part of the nation to triumph over the worst, or the upright and patriotic to prevent their degradation by the proiligste and corrupt. a During the performance of the solemn ceremonial on the 19th, I trust that the people will conduct themselves with an order, n forbearance, and a moderation, that will completely falsify the evil forebodings of their enemies. The hest friends of liberty are always the most iletermioril opponents of violence and eunfission—awarrhy cum profit none but our enemies. It is their hope. hut it is tour fear; it is our lose, brat it is their gain. If the enemies of the people are crafty, let the people themselves be wise; without wisdom and without virtue, which is a part of wisdom, li berty is but a delusive show, or an intoxicating sound : while we prefer realities to shadows, let us leave It to our enemies to mistake shadows fur realities. The eternity of freedom does not consist is the pageant of a day. II am de liberately excluded from the Coronation, while some of the satellites of the Holy Alliance are eourtemisly invited to the apectack; and it is devoutly to be wished that it may teach th em m o re highly to •alne the rights of iistious, and more sincerely to respect the liberties of mankind. The love of the people is the strength of Sovereigne, and the glory of Kings." HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. It is confidently reported that his Majesty in tends to honour this ancient city with his presence, on his town front Ireland. A plan of the Palace of Huilyrood-house has been sent him, with which his Majesty was highly pleased. It is likewise re. parted, that some furniture, intended for the ac commodation of the Emperor, of Russia and Aus tria, and the King of Prussia, when in this cowl. try, will immediately he shippied for Edinburgh, and placed in the Palace of our ancient Kings. In corroboration of this report we may add, that lest night (Thursday, the lith inst.) on parade, the Lord President stated to his regiment, the Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, that it was confi dently believed by item:iris in high official situations, that his Majesty intended to visit this country, and that in that case he may he expected about the first week of September. He farther desired that it 'should be understood that any recruits that should cutter at present would be brought forward to join the battalion on that occasion.—(Adialrargh Star.)

This was on action oil a bill of exchange for 50/. drawn by a per.on named Safford, on mid accepted by Ingram, the Defendant, and endorsed over to the The handwriting of the drawer and acceptor wag proved. The defence set up was usury. To prove his case. Mr. PULLER called Buford, the brother of the drawer. He stated that he accompanied his brother to the Plain tiff's shop, a silversmith's, in the neighbourhood of Oxford-road, where they saw the Plaintiff. Wit ness's brother told him that he wanted some articles in his trade, and that he had a bill which he wished him to take in payment, and give him the difference; and he would leave the bill with him to make in quiry iespeciing it. This wee done, and they celled a second time, when the Plaintiff said, he supposed they would have no objection to buy goods to the amount of twenty pounds. Witness's brother objected to taking so much goody, and ulti mately selected a milk ewer, a marrow spoon, a cheese knife, a butter knife, end some other trifling articles, for which the Plaintiff asked ten guinea., but afterwards took ten pounds, and 6s. 9d. for the discount, and gave a cheque on his banker for 391. 138.3 d. Witness immediately took the arti cles to Mr. Archbutt's, who keeps ■ pawnbroker's and silversmith'. shop, in Wesiminoter-bridge-road, fur the purpose of selling them, where they were weighed, and found to be 13 oz. of silver, which he sold to Mr. Arclibutt for 41. 10s. Mr. GURNEY. to rebut this evidence, called the Plaintiff's shopman, who stated that the goods we►e sold at the fair price at which they would have been sold to any other customer, and without any view to the discount. Mr. GURNEY in reply contended, that he had made out • strong case for the I'l ' 'fl. If the defence now set up were to pleb-ail, it would be im possible for any tradesman to sell goods and take a bill of exchange in payment ; since all that would be necessary to avoid it, would be to purchase goods and immediately sell them at half-price. To have made any thing like an answer to his case, he contended the Defendant should, at all events, hive called Archhutt to have stated that he gave the full value for the goods. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury that if they were of opinion that an extraordinary profit had hero laid on the grinds in consideration of discounting the bill, then they would find their verdict fur the Defendant; but if they thought it was a fair and bona fide transaction, then they would find for the Plaintiff. The JURY deliberated fair a quarter of an hour, and then returned • verdict for the Defendant. COLLINS C. COMBER. Mr. MA RRY ATT stated the case to the Jury for the Plaintiff. He said his client sought to recover by this action the sum of 150/. which he had lent to the Defendant. lie should call a witness who would prove the Defendant's acknowledgment of that sum, though lie refused to pay it, except the witness would gi►e him a discharge also for 934 which was due from him to the Plaintiff, but which he could not recover by law, at it was money won at play. A. Daly called and examined.—Witness knows the Plaintiff; lie went by desire, in September 1820, to ask Mr. Comber for the money due to Plaintiff, 150/. money lent, and 931. which had been won at play. Mr. Comber acknowledged the debt of 1501. and that the slips of paper, stating a balance of 931. were all his figures. Cross-examined by Mr. SCAR LETTo—The Plain tiff is a coal and corn-merchant, and lives in Dor set-place, Clapham-road ; witness was not present when the 1501. was lent ; lie heard from the Plain tiff that the 93/. was won at hazard or backgam mon, at his (the Plaintiff'►) house, nobody be ing present but the parties. The 150/. was lent the next day, at the Bull, at Shooter's Ilill, where the Plaintiff and Defendant had dined together. Mr. SCA MATT opened this as a case of iniclannt ed profligacy on the part of the Plaintiff. The case, he should prove, would 'thew that the sum of 93/. Inst at gambling was an after thought of the Plsiiitiff. This was the first time the Defendant braid ail that demand. His client was a very young man, only now 22 years of age, and was the sun of a ►oust respectable merchant. lie fell in with Mr. Collins at Brighton, who being well-dressed, form ed an acquaintance with him, and meeting him afterwards in London, invited him (Defendant) home to his house to dinner. The Defendant went and drank very freely of wine, and at that time it was that this gambling was said by the Plaintiff to have taken place, and the amount which he then claim ed as won by him was 1304 but of which the De fendant had not the smallest knowledge or recol lection. That this was the sum the Plaintiff de manded, and not 931. as now stated, he should prove out of the Plaintiff's own mouth, by the evidence of a respectable tradesman into whose shop the Defendant went to take refuge from the abuse of the Plaintiff, who constantly raised a mob about him when he met him in the ►treet. J.
