~~ UIT. I' WILTSHIRE ASSIZES, S•stsstsoa, Juts' I& The commission was opened on Saturday by Mr. Justice Gaon -I.# and Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, who attended divine service - In the Cathedral yesterday ; and this day commenced the business of the Assizes. CROWN SIDE. • ilofore Mr. ustiee Leer LTDALV• Mt Justine LITT s eDALE entered the Court at eleven o'clock. when the Grand Jury having been sworn, hie Lordship delivered .his charge ro the following erect: —Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, I am scary to otneres that the state of the calendar is so heavy on ths.oecasion of these Assizes. Of the numerous eases contained in the calendar, the offence of horse stealing appears to predominate, thaw being nice of the prlnoners of the 49 whose names are to be found in the calendar, charged with the commission of that crime, and semeof them for several offences of the urne kind. It neat becomes wacestaty, Gentlemen of the - Grand Jury, to tell your attention to a charge of a very serious nature, I mean one of child murder. By in Act passed many years ago, in the reign of James i, concealing the bath of a child was constituted a capital offence, although the crime of murder were not brought home to the prisoner ; but that Act has been repealed, and the law is now different as it regards Nee concealment of the birth only. You will not therefore find a bill for murder it yon are not satisfied of the fact. And to render tree commission of that crime possible. I need hardly say you must have it in evidence that the infant was born alive, in the proof of which there may be considerable difficulty to be encountered. There are fwd aka of this description in the calendar. in one of which the prisoner is charged und.n the coroner's inquisition with the wilful murder, and in the other with the concealment of the birth of a child ; and in the consideration of both those cases you will belie in mind the distinction observable between the two offeneeo. another case to which I shall solicit your attention. It is that era Charge of rape, and, according to the evidence of the woman, is estury crong case; but.you will recollect, Gentlemen, the serious nature*? the charge, and the difficulty of rebutting it on the part of tbs accused ; and on that account you will attend ecru pulottsly to the nature of el ',evidence submitted to your inspection prevituis to qbaing the h shall only particularise another case, which is sasiof manslaughter against a female, charged under the coroner's lagest with killing tree husband. It has not appeared to the Jury aossnount to a case of murder arminst the prisoner; for although it angered ta the evidence laid'before them that the accused had mode use of strong and violent expressions against her husband, it a extremely probable that at the period of using them she r as under the influence of considerable irritation ; and as it appeared that she was extremely jealous of het husband, perhaps the nature of her expressions are to be acsounted for in that way. Under all circumstances of the case, it did not appear to the Coroner that there watauffleient proof to carry the offence beyond that of manslaughter. I chill now, Gentlemen, conclude by requesting your attention to the state of the law as it regards the offence of maiming, cutting, or otherwiseinjuring cattle. ; Under a former Act of Parliament it was necessary to prove a malicious intention in the person accused of that offence; but under the 'existing law the simple act is suffi cient, without any proof of a malicious intention, to constitute a felony punishable by tlansportation. The Grand Jury then retired to their room, and of a: short time returned, having found several tnie bills. , HORSE STEALING. Robert Jones and Jolla Smth were put to the bar, capitally in. dieted for having stolen two gelding's. the property of Joseph Foley, as Ring's Nortpn, in the county of Worcester, on the tith of Jul 7 ; also with having stolen one chestnut gelding, on the 6th of the same month, at Northfield. in the same county, the property of Thomas Wilietts ; and Joseph Clirmeitts and George Gurdener were put to the lase, charged with having feloniously received the said geldings into their possession at Milford in this county, knowing them tilt be stolao.

The saddle lent by Joe to Gardener came to my master's on Thursday, on the brown horse brought by Tough (Junes). Robert Bruton.—l know Gardener ; I saw him in Exeter-street in this town on Sunday, in a gig with a young woman; it was about four o'clock ; he was going in the direction of the White Horse Cellar, whither I followed him. When I arrived there I did not find him ; but the young woman who had been with him in the gig was there. I went to the New Inn, and thence through St. Martin's Church-yatel to Peterslinger.gate. I ran at the rate of eight miles an hour from Exeter-street. I had first seen the pri. toner at a quarter-past four ; 1 lost sight of him for three quarters of an hour , and came up wit him at Peterstinger. I said to him, " You are the very gentleman lam looking for." " Are you ?" said he, •' I have neither robbed nor murdered any body." I re., plied, " Perhapi so ; but I want you to come with me to decide a cause." lie then replied, " Well, if 1 must I must," and he came with me. John Morrison.—l live in Green Croft -street, Salisbury ;my stable is at Milford, near the New Inn. which is about a quarter of a mile from the Whito Horse Cellar. I went to my stable about ten o'clock on Sunday night, and shortly atter Joe (Clements) came and asked to sit down in the stable ; I permitted hint, and he then asked me togs to the White Horse Cellar, and tell Mr. Lam bert a person by the name of Joe wanted him. He gave me a halt. sovereign to take to Lambert's to get a bottle of wine. He seemed much fatigued. I went away to Lambert's house, first locking up Joe in the stable. I got a glass of cider, and Mr. Lambert gave' ' me a bottle of wine and bread and cheese to take to Clements to the stable. Lambert came down to the stable. Clements cried out,', " Hallo !" Lambert said, Who's that ?" and the other replied, " Joe." Clements paid Lambert two sovereigns, and asked me to take him to Devizes or Lldewav, promising me a pound for doing so. I refused, end he said, " You don't earn a pound so easy every day." He farther said, if be could-get to Lideway lie would take a coach. I refused, and shortly after some peoplecame and appre hended him. Mr. Cot- clamor—That Is my case, my Lord. dlr. BINGHAM submitted, that there was no evidence to support thrcapital part of the charge against Clements and Gardener. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—As far as the original stealing la concerned Gardner and Clements seem not to be inculpated. Mr. COLERIDGE—The count of the indictment for receiving the horses is not capital; but the prisoners Clements and Gardener are also indicted for feloniously harbouring the other prisoners, which is a capital ofience, and, under correction of his Lordship, 1 submit that charge has been established against the two prisoners. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—I am of opinion the only count applicable to the prisoners Clements and Gardener, is that for re. ceiving the horses knowing them to be stolen, it not having been proved that they harboured Jones and Smith. The prisoners were called on for their defence, when— Jones said I am guilty, my Lord, of having the horses In my possession, but not of stealing then' ; I throw myself on the mercy of the Jury, and your Lordship. Sinithiand Clemente protested their innocence, and Gardener left Ibis defence to his Counsel. 31r. Justice lATTLEust.E charged the Jury, who found Robert Jones and John. Smith " Guilty of stealing," and Joseph Clements and George Gardener " Guilty of receiving the borscs knowing them to be stolen. _ Growe Billett and Edgard Billet: were put to the bar, Indicted Gtr feloniously stealing a ;trey mare, the property of William Hall. at Shipron-upon-Stour, on the 23d December last. It appeared front the evidence of the prosecutor, who is a carrier resident at Shipton-upon-Siour, that his mare was stolen from his stable on the 23d December; and that learning in the course of the month of March following, his horse was in the possession of another carrier named Pratt. who resided near blalniabury in this county, he ap plied tur, and on identifying re-possessed himself of his property. The sale of the horse to Pratt was proved to have taken place on ' the morning of Christmas day, by the two prisoners, who sold the animal for 111. lbs. The Jury found both prisoners Guilty. Judgment of death was recorded against the prisoners, but his Lordship said as their cave was not one ofa very aggravated nature, ihe thought himself justified in holding out to the prisoners h o p es of a nithgation ofpunishments. 1110 lIWAY ROBBERY. ___. . nrm.

Another witness deposed to haying met the prisoner near Mason on the evening of the day laid in the indictment, when he can. tioned witness to conceal the fact of having met him. It was further proved that the prisoner offered the watch to a Mr. Mitler, the landlord of the Brown Bear public- ;oust, as a security for liquor. The prisoner being called on for his defence, denied all know. leth,le of the robbery. Verdict—Guilty. Judgment of death was recorded against the prisoner ; but his Lordship said, as prisoner was a youthful offender, and no very aggravated circumstances attended the robbery, he might expect a commutation of his sentence. civil . , SIDE. Before Mr. Justice GASELZE. IiEttRISH V. simatowas. Thin as an action ou the cisaVibWacl;of contracts, brought by the plaintiff Gerrish, who is ao innkeeper, against Simmonds the defendant, a fanner. An agent of the latter had been authorised to dispose of a quantity of oats for his principal, which he contracted to sell to the plaintiff at the rate of 22r. the quarter. It was proved that defendant's agent accepted a shilling thou the plaintiff by way of earnest, to confirm the bargain. It was attempted to be proved on the part of the defendant that his agent was • person of weak intellkt, and on that account, added to his havingreteived a hurt in his head, which rendered him peculiarly liable to the effects of intoxication after having drunk only a small quantity of liquor, was incapacitated from tnaking a contract that could be held to be binding on his print' -id. Mr. Justice User LiE—That is not an adequate i.atence fur any man who had the folly to intrust such a person to act as his agent. If the" defendant seta Imprudently in employing a person, who, from incapacity, intoxication, wr any other cause, makers foolish bargain, he must endure the consequences, which are not to be visited on another party. For the defence Simmonds'n agent was called, who denied hav ing entered into any contract with the plaintiff; and said, in answer to a question from the cornett, `• at all events I leas blind drunk.

The Calendar was unusually light, but there were 17 civil causes entered for trial, CIVIL. BIDE. Before Mr. Baron GartitoW. FALSE IMPRISON3IENT. VIRICIIT V. COURT AND OVUM. Mr. CARRINGION opened the pleadings. Mr. Ct• a woo I) stated, that this was an action for falsely impri soning the plaintiff. The defendant had pleaded several special pleis, but they had been demurred to. This was • cause of lm. portance, as it was violating the liberty of the subject, but he would only state • plain narrative of the plaiutirs wrongs, for which he otily asked a fair compensation. The plaintiff was a labouring man, and on the 3d of November, having seen • neighbour, who bad drank a little too 'ouch, on his way home, he was stopped In a wood through which he was passing, by the defendants (one of whom was a constable of another parish) u it was said, on • charge of felony. But, that accusation • was not made bona fide, but from soma personal motives, which by the rules of the Court he was not at libert; to state. The defendants neither took him to a hlagistrate on the next day or the day after, but he was locked up in a cage for three days, and then taken before a Magistrate, whose name he had beard before in' cases where men bad been found in woods, and the Magistrate did not dismiss the charge or hear it, but the plaintiff was taken away in custody. Mr. Baron Wallow—Would not the Magistrate be answerable fur the subsequeut imprisonment. • Mr. Ctinwoon—The truth was, this Right he a mode of punishing • poacher, and if it was so, it suit perversion of thou laws which were made for the protection of the country. , George Various, examined by Mr. CostatiroTon—On the night of the 3d of November, saw the plaintiff coming through ; I psley Wood. I saw the defendants (Chambers and coming I come up to him ; they laid hold of Lim, and took him away. I did not see the defendant Court. Eliza Brothers, examined by Mr. Cl/UV/DOD—I remember the plaintiff being brought to the cage by the three defendants all together. This was on Wednesday, November 3 they were pulling him along, and I heard them sty —" Lock bun up, we have got the rogue." And Coart said, "If you say another word I will dash your brains out." The plaintiff was there the whole of the next day, and two days after. It is a bad damp place. Ile was taken out on the Saturday, and was taken to Lord Aston's residence. Ile was hand.euffed to a person named Bunt The plaintiff was brought back to the cage about twelve o'clock on that day ' • and lie was kept th ere all day on the Sunday, and all •day oil the Monday, and on that day lie had no food until nine o'clock in the evening, when Court came with something for him to eat, and then the plaintiff complained that it was a long time to be kept without victuals, and Court said, if you say any thing I will take that away from you; and about two months ago I heard Court say that he would do for the Wrights, and take care that neither they nor their mother should have a bed to sleep upon in ' less than six months. Mr. JERVIS objected that this was not evidence, hermit° It only expressed iudiiiclual malice, and therefore it ought not to be ,received Mr. Baron GARR OW—lf that doctrine was good, it would be easy for a man who was determined to ruin another to proclaim it in the market-place, and then call in two other men one shade better than himself—get those to help him in ruining these parties, and so get rid of the evidence. Cross-examined by Mr. JERW IS—I am dye wife of John Bro them, and we lived over the prison. It was intended that my hus band should be Deputy Constable, but he never was so ; and my ! husband weasel! up by the Committee of the town; there are bad climate ere ii Redditcla ; I heard them brining AVright.in ; I saw ti a h Is Jut of any window. I remember !Award Crow ; he came al out town n'clock, and said to Wright that Court had searched their house at three o'clock in the morning, arid the plaintiff said never mind that, keep your heart, and that is all I heard him say. ' Crow said, what has he brought you here for ? I know Thomas ' Smith, Mr. Robeson's clerk. I told hint the same as I tell now. I heard Crow say that Court had looked at Wright's ferrets; he did not say any more that I heard ; I was at my window ; I often sit there when people are talking, because I have no children or any. thing to amuse me. (A laugh.) There were eight in the cage that night, but I don't know what for. Afright is not married, but he has a mother; they brought him food. I talked to IVright, he was one of our neighbonra, and I never saw any harm of him. They brought him food on the Saturday, but Court would not let hint have it. lie was discharged on the Tuesday. I know it was on the Tuesday, because he had no Mod en the Monday. A person named Jay was present when the conversation took place with Court ; my husband was never paid wag/t for his services. I have no enmity against Court, but his treatment of the prisoners was very severe. Re-examined by Mr. Cuawoon.—Mr. Robeson is clerk to the Dame Association and to Lord Aston. Mr. Jenv is addressed the Jury for the defendants, and begged of them to dismiss all prejudice from their minds. Ile.was aware that a verdict must pass for the plaintiff:—but when he had shown them the whole case, they would be satisfied the smallest coin would be a sufficient compensation. The fact was that the plaintiff was suspected of committing several burglaries—needles to an im merse amount had been stolen, and a person named Bennett gave information of some facts, and Mr. Field and another person took out warrants Ran Lord AMOR to search different houses belonging Ito persons named Crowther and (files. Lord Aston took depo sitions on oath, but his Lordship would state that he had destroyed. them.. It had been insinuated that this was a poaching transaction, but the plaintiff - had really bcen apprehended on suspicion of stealing needles, and the rearm' he was not taken sooner to a Magistrate' was, because it was deemed inexpedient to let it be known that the plaintiff was taken up, before they had searched all the houses— where, however, nothing was found—and in a few days lie was taken before a magistrate, but there being no evidence sufficient to warrant his committal, he was ordered to be further detained, and after that he was ultimately discharged. Joseph Clarke, examined by Mr. TAUNTON, said, I live at Redditch, and carry on the business of • needle-maker and tish-1 hook-maker. On the :nth of July I was robbed, and lost 93,000 unfinished needles, value 11U., and fi3,600 finished needles, and 16,000 fish-hooks. On the 3d of Novamber Mr. Robeson to ld me something which he had heard.from Bennett. I vein to Lord Aston about,it ; I was sworn, and his Lordship 'granted warrants, which I delivered to Court, who was the constable. One of the warrants was to search the house of a person named Crowther. The Asso ciation fur Prosecuting Felons met at the Crown at Redditch. was to search Crowther's house after sunrise in morning; Wake field and Chambers were to assist. There is a woocPopposite the house, and they were to lie there till the sun ruse. On the 4th Court came to my house, and I found that Wright was in cu.- tody. I was at the seareh at Crowther's, but nothing was found. Cross.exatnined by Mr. CUDWOOD.—I was robbed in July and I searched in November, but I had not warrants against the plaintiff'. Examined by the Learned BARON—There was nothing suspi. clam about Crowther's house at all to justify the search. John Field. examined by Mr. Busse:Lt., proved, that on the 23t1 of September, his mill was robbed of between tour and ee hundred thousand needles. Thomas liolynak, another neesile-manufactarer, proved that he was robbed, on the Ist of October. of a large quantity of needles, and found some of them in a hay-rick. The needles were found in an apron, which he tied on the plaintiff, but could not say that it fitted him. Cross-examined—The needles were found a month before, half a mile from where the plaintiff was taken. William Francis gave similar evidence. Mr. Henry Robeson Raid, 1 remember that Joseph Bennett was apprehended about the Ist of November. Bennett was brought in on a charge of felony. The Righ! Hon. Lord Aston said, I am a Justice of the County of Worcester. 1 remember persona coming.about search-War rants, but 1 have destroyed the depositions upon' which they wtre founded. Wright was brought before me on the Saturday, and again on the Monday; there was nothing against him at all, and I discharged him. Cross-examined by 111 r. CURROOn-1 sometimes destroy dello aitiona which are made before me as a Magistrate. Mr. Cifffirooß—l may take the liberty or telling yo•ir Lord. ship that that IS nire a prow way of doing your arty as gistrate. lewd Aston—Sir, I think you do take a liberty with me; you did so when you insit.uated that tkwas a poaching affair, and you have done so on former occasions. Mr. Cuaw nun said, my Lord, I am never afraid of doing my duty. Mr. Baron GARROW—ii is quite irregular to introduce collo quial observations between the Counsel and WHOM. George Parsons proved that he watched the wood where the plaintiff' wan taken, and saw Crowther go home, and Wright come into the wood, and that he called to Wright, who said, do you wsnt me ? and the witness said no. I had no authontv to take him, and the defendants came up and. took the plaintiff away, he saying it they would have him he would go with them I any where. Bennet was transported. Sarah Steward saitc—l was servant to Mr. liolyoak. On the morning after the rubbery at my master's, I saw the plaintiffsittiog down asleep. Ile was one of toy master's men. Joshua Wakeford confirmed the evidence of Parsons. ('rose-examined by Mr. Cuawoon.—l ;on n gamekeeper. I retired for a time. I an't with Lord Plymouth now ; 1 run ,keeper to John Boultby, Esq. John Redford, a Birmingham police officer, proved that he took Bennett on a charge of stealing needle:. That lie showed the plaintiff an apron in which saint of the stolen property was found, but he denied all knowledge of it, and that in consequence he advised the detendants not to take the plaintiff to a Magis trate. Crows -examined—l know It is my duty to take persons in cus , tab' before a sl.sgistrato forthwith. Thomas Smith, clerk to 111 r• Henry Robeson, Raid, I examined Elizabeth Brothers, and took down what the laid. (This is the paptr I wrote.) She said that Wright asked whether Court had gone round the pig-sty and dog-kennel. - - - - - . , Mr. Henry Robeson said—l ant attorney for the defendants; I examined Elirabeth Brothers ; atm said that she heard voices, but tint not get out of bed. Cross-examined—l wanted her u a witness, I had been told of her by my clerk. - - - - - - Mr. Cuawoon, in reply, said that he did not mean to deny that the needle.maker'a had been robbed, but there was nothing to affect tile plamtiff. The Noble Lord had said that there was nothing against the plaintil oath,' wizen be wee brought up a -- i ~;3 br ea She*, to which he wee remanded ; and even if there was any suspicion against Croather at anytime, that was dissipated by notlung being found in Crowther's house. ' His witness had been accused of boldness, and he would say it was the boldness of truth. Ile would always advocate a proper degree of boldness ; for though he always bowed with eubmission to those in authority, he was no worshipper of rank, arid if he found a person of rank who had not dune as he ought, he would at once tell him so. His witness was to be disbelieved because H Noble i Lord had said that the plaintiff was discharged on a Monday and not on a Tuesday; but he would not ask them to art upon his itThttlell assertions as the tins one, or they ought rather to Jake her to be tome correct than a Magistrate who was so negligent of his dory as to burn the depositions of the witnesses, taken on oath be fore and he would say, that though the defendant Court might have malevolently confined the plaintiff, he had been very hardly used by being still further imprisoned, because there was nothing whatever against him ; indeed this business was not equal. led bjany case he had ever heard, except those which Caine before the Judge of Ilell, Itadaniantbus, who first punished those who were brought before him, and then inquired into the merits of their tales; and he would say, that his client had been wantonly im priamied for five days, and fur that he was entitled to a fair com pensation. Mr. Baron Gannon , said, that in giving damages In this CM the Jury must not be led away by the effict produced by counsel, and the fair question was, whether Court was acting in the fair dis charge of his duty, or whether he was actuated by malice. It ap peared that a person named Bennett had been apprehended, and that he had given information on which search-warrants were granted, and the house of Crowther watched. There they found that Wright was taken into custody, and locked up in the cage. (The Learned Baron detailed the circumstances of the case as they had Linn stated by the witnesses.) It was said that a person ac cused ought to be carried forthwith before the Magistrate by the constable, but on this occasion there was no great delay. There was great alarm in Bedditch, and great exertions were making to detect the thieves, and that delay was stated to have occurred for the purpose of getting police officers from Birmingham. If they thought Court was actuated by malice they ought to give considas able damages, but if they thought he had acted fairly they ought to j ive& proper , moderate compensation for the injury done; nominal damages dict bein g out plaintiff ain t he gug inag oni o n s a s l ny . view of tlt ecase. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, YxsTsznar. ALLEN v. °WYNNE. This cause came before the Court in the form of an appeal fliom a decision of the Master of the Rolls. It appeared from the state ment of Counsel (Mr. hart), that John L. Allen had been pos sessed of considerable property; that having been an improvident person, his affairs fell into disorder ; and that for a consideration, real or supposed, he executed a deal to his son David Allen, con veying to him his property; that this son, who so, got into rosses sion of the property, was addicted to the use of spiritous liquors, end from frequent intoticaticm became exceedingly imbecile In un derstanding, so as to be the dupe of every artful person who took the trouble to gain his favour. That shortly after his having so I obtained possession of his father's property, lie became particularly intimate with a person named Gwynne, an attorney, residing in the town of liaysrfordwest ; that this person spared no pains to in gratiatehimself with Allen, and associated with him frequently in his dissolute courses, and at length went so far as to prevail on him (Allen) to take apartments in the house, of which Gwynne occu pied the first floor for the transaction of his business ; that further, Gwynne obtained such an influence over the mind of Allen, that he prevailed upon him to make a will, devising all his property to Gwynne, with only the deduction of small annuities to the mother and sister of the testator, but that afterwards even those trifling be quests were revoked by a codicil. Thus (said Mr. Hart) the whole family of the Aliens were disinherited in favour of the at torney. The testator having died, Gwynne entered into posses aion, and proceeded to strengthen his title by levying a fine. A bill was filed against him by the relations of the deceased ; an an swer was put in, depositions were taken, and the cause came to be heard before Sir Wins. Grant, who directed an issue to try the question by ejectment. On that the fine was pleaded and allow ed ; and the appellants then came before the Court, prang for relief from the operation of the fine, and fur the purpose of showing that the will under which Gwynne professed to 'de- rive ought not to be considered valid. The course of Mr. Hart's statement was occasionally interrupted by the observations of the Lord Chancellor, which in substance amounted to saying that there was a distinction between a fine levied to sustain a fraudulent 'I title, and one levied for the purpose of supporting a title which the party had reasonable ground for supposing was a valid title. He likewise said, that he would seriously consider and listen to much discussion before he could on the one hand be induced to disturb a fine regularly levied; or on the other, permit a tine to remain in full force which appeared as nothing more than the perfection of a course of fraud, of which there had been many other previous assurances. After Mr. Hart concluded, depositions were read to show the complete insanity of Allen. Proof was likewise tendered of the inadequacy of the consideration for which Allen, the father, had parted with his property. When the reading of the evidence was over Mr. DEED followed on the same side with Mr. HART ; after which the Court rose. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, TUESDAY, JULY 11 SIR 0. RICH V. THE GAS LIGHT ANT) COME COMPANY. Our readers will remember that in this cue Sir George Rich wrote to a Mr. Pedder, Secretary and Treasurer to the defendants, commissioning him to buy him 26 shares ia that Company. Rut it appeared that either by accident, or some other cruse, the calls of the Company were not paid by Pedder, although the money had been remitted to him by the plaintiff; the shares had been forfeited, and the plaintiff had row filed a bill to restrain the sale of those shares. I The question at issue is, whether Pedder acted as the agent of the plaintiff or defendants. His HONOUR this morning, delivered his judgment. He was mast decidedly of opinion that the letters prnductd in Court showed upon the face of them a correspondence as between prin cipal and ;lout. Sir George Rich, in one of them expressly directed IPedder to purchase twenty-six shares for him, and that in such ex. pressions as showed him to he his agent, and not that of the Corn ; pany. If therefore Pedder did not buy the twenty-six shares, Sir G. Rich unfortunately must suffer for his misconduct. fflr. NORTON asked whether it was to be with costs. His Honour certainly, notwithstanding the hardship of the case, could not grant costs. The Hill was accordingly dismissed without costs. C.4.IfBRIDGE. On Tuesday morning last the Lord Bishop of Ely held his Vi sitation in the parish church of Ehatteris, when 49 youtig persons of both sexes were confirmed. After the ceremony his Lordship se; ofrfor March and Whittlesea, to perform the same ceremony at both places that day. On the same day the Sixth Anniversary Meeting of the Branch Bible Society was held at fladdenham; the Rev. Mr. Hall, of St. John's Coll. in the chair ; who opened the business of the day in a neat and highly appropriate speech, delivered in the spirit of the' gospel, stating the great good that had been done by the Parent In stitution, in sending the word of God, without note or comment, to heathen nations; and that the possession of that word was the cause of all those blessings that we, the inhabitants of this highly. favoured island, were in the daily enjoyment of. For if the inhabr. ants of heathen nations were idolaters, were not our forefathers the same? and we owed it to nothing but the introduction of that inva luable blessing amongst us that we were found in so much more enviable situations. 'file resolutions were moved and seconded by the Rev. Messrs. Drake, Harris. Green. Maid, and Sandiford ; Messrs. Tebbutt, William and Edward Camps. The Rev. Chair. malt closed the business of the meeting by exhorting his hearers, but particularly the ladies, who were at all times ready in every ' good work, to come forward in aid of the Lord in the,god-like work, and to remember what an honour the Almighty was putting on them in calling upon them to be his fellow-workers in help ing in the gond cause. The company was very respectable: the collection amounted to about eleven pounds. CAMBRIDGE TOWN SESSIONS, MONDAY, JOLT 1). Before the 31.0r0a, the DEPCTT•RLCORDTR, Aldermen Pun- C OAS /Ind ('OE. The Dizettre-RtconnEa,7; his char g e, congratulated the Grand Jury on so respectable and numerous an attendance. He should never cease to deplore that, on a former occasion, the Court had found it necessary to vindicate its authority in this respect. He was extremely happy to observe, on looking over the calendar, that there was no case of peculiar atrocity, nor one that presented any legal difficulty which needed explanation from him. But there was one circumstance connected with the calendar which called for some observations. It contained the names of ten delinquents, five of whom were under ten years of age. He knew not to what these numerous instances of early delinquency, in a place which ought to set a moral example to all others, could be ascribed. Ile had no reason to think that education had been neglected ; but whether it arose from the circumstance of greater temptation being in the way of youth, from the neglect or the profligacy of tile parents, or from any other cause, they, as good citizens, would en deavour to trace the evil to its true source. The Learned Deputy then adverted to the pending topic of a town gaol, and said that new and unexpected difficulties had sprung up, and had presented them selves in almost every shape, but he assured the Jury that the Cor poration had not for a moment lost sight of the subject, that it was to them one of unceasing anxiety, and they were unsleeping in their vigilance, in their attempt to supply this, he must call it, pub lic necessity. Last week, a woman happening to pace through a nail near Bruit, in the county of Limerick, to which was a bull, was gored to death by the animal ; and what is remarkable, she was on her way to the Sessions to prosecute the owner of it for an assault. An inquest was held at Armitage, on the body of T. Gibson, a boy about six years of age, who fell out of allay waggon, by which he was so much br u i se d as to shed blood from his ears, nose, and mouth, and after languishing for a week, expired of the injury thus received. Yesterday morning, the body of a voting man, drown e d, was picked up on the Surrey s id e o f the 'River, near the Patent Shot Manufactory, and instantly conveyed to Christ Church Work. house, for a Coroner's Jury. The deceased is supposed to be one of the unfortunate sufferers, among many, who lost their lives m Sunday last, while bathing. CORoNER s INQUEST. FATAL ACCIDENT, CAUSED BY NFOLECT.--A COltleest a : quisition was yesterday , evening held before T. &TEUTON, Eig., the Board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital , on the body of l> o . minick Fitzgerald, who met his death on illonday morning, w hit, carrying a very heavy load over the steps which lead from Sa w , place to Swan-passage, near St. Bartholomew's-close. The evidence adduced went to prove that the steps in questy t , had for a long period been in a most shameful state of dilapidation, and that several very serious accidents had occurred in consequence, a representation of which was requested to be made by the Jury t o the parochial authorities. The Coe °ZEE said, it was the duty of the surveyor of the tame , ments to see that the place was kept in a proper State of repair; but he would take cure that the wish of the Jury should be em u _ plied with. dir. Morgan, the house-surgeon, was then called, and 411,1 described the state in which the deceased was brought into the box. pital, added that he did all in his poser to afford assistance, b ut he breathed his last in abort five minutes. He could not say s i b, ther there were any external marks of violence on the body, not having examined it. CORONER—Did you not consider It your duty to do so ? Mr. Morgan—No, Sir; I ant ready now to open the body, and should have done so this afternoon, but the Bradlee rtjurcd to let me have the keys of the place where it was deposited. CORONER—Cannot you state whether the heavy load faliingoc i the chest of the deceased caused his death ? Mr. Morgan—No, I cannot, as I did not open the body. ex pected that - I should have had to have done so. Several of the Jurors here expressed themselves very dissatisfied at the manner in which Mr. Morgan gave his evidence. Mr.' Morgan defended himself, and seing our Reporter la the room, said, lie hoped it would not go abroad that he had not ukt every diligence in his power. The ConoriEß said, no doubt existed of that,' but the Jury felt that they had not been treated with becoming decency, and ore Juryman in particular felt himself insulted at the manner in whim he had been answered. . . . _ ed I do not see that there is any m n m l e y li n i t:h i a n twas of. the case. Mt. Morgan disclaimed any intention of so doing. I (4 e a ccr o ao x l Rj E ou tt sr — oi.r.3: T ß a er t ies i , s seia l d h ,G a et Gentlemen, ttal co ei necessity in this case of having the body , opened. I think the ()al verdict you can come to is " Accidental Death." The Jury consulted for a few moments, and the foreman gave in a verdict—" That the deceased came by his death by accidental!y falling down the steps in question, occasioned by the particularly dilapidated state in which they were." Several gentlemen seeing our Reporter leaving the roomettireated • strong wish that this case might be made public, and given as fully as possible. Repor.er—Gentlemen, I have but one duty to perform, and that I shall honestly perform. I have only to state correctly what hat taken place, and I shall not cause one pang unmeritedly to the feelings of any one. The verdict was then recorded, and the Jury left the room. [There appears nothing in this report to call for repro. hension of the conduct of Mr. Morgan. An ignorant beadltt opposes his authority to the better judgment of his supe riors, and an cqually, though less excusably, ignorant Co. roner's Jury sanction the act which the eadle, in his ignorance, had done. Fellows of this stamp arc found too often interposing their misplaced rower and vulgar pre. judices in the way of medical science. To maintain that a surgeon ought tb pronounce professional opinion upon the cause of death, without having been allowed to ettinina the body, is worthy of llogberry himself. - MARKETS.

COTTON-There is a very great change in p u bli c op i n i on re epecting Cottons : speculators have been watching the market, and if parcels could be purchased on lower terms, very extensive pur chases would have been made. From Liverpool the account's» similar, the trade showing every disposition to get into stock, and the only reason that they did not come forward, was the great extent of the arrivals : when these are brought forward for sale, we anti. cipate very extensive transactions. The sales in London lass week are nea-ly three thouland bags, of which the greater pon t » is Sprats, at flid. a 10 yd.

There continues lobe • very small quantity of good Sugars on show, but the buyers only purchase for their immediate consumption, in the anticipation of very large supplies in s few days ; the stock is about 13,0e0 casks less than last year. There is no alteration whatever in the prices to-day. In Refined goods there was much heaviness last week, and as some of the holders were inclined to give way to facility, sales, a general reduction in the prices was submitted to; low Lumps being sold at 86s. and 871. and the tine sold also a shade lower ; the wholesale grocers were considerable purchasers for home consumption of the country. Molasses advanced to 281. and 211 s. lid.

Brandy is still exceedingly heavy; parcels on the quay offered at 2s. lid. parcels of 1823 sold at 2s. 10d. Geneva Is. 10J.
