This tnor..ing, at the opening of the Court. upwards of twenty prisoners were brought in and discharged by proclamation, their bills having bccn ignored by the Grand Jury.

Under these cirntrrudanees the ContlT directed an acquittal. ob serving, that the prisoner was very fortunate, as the breed Jury were discharged. ASSAULT AND ROBBERY AT HOUNSLOW REVIEW. J. Harernel was indicted tin assaulting J. Sheeham in an open place near the highway, aid stealing trout him a coat, and divers ' pieces of coin, his property. The proseeoter is a tailor, residing at Hampton Court. On the 7th of July he rtes going over Hounslow-he:nit, having been to see the review. At Ole time the robbery happened witdess was in • booth ?reality: !'n:srlf, but was quite sober ; this was about ten o'clock in the evening. When he was leaving the booth he took I our half a-crown to pay the reckoning. As 00011 as he had done' this, some person behind struck him on the head. He was then dragged out of the booth by ten or twelve men, who formed a circle round hint, and kept push i ng hint from one to the other. The poi. souer cam: up at his left side, and put his hand in his waistcoat i pseket ; there were two hall . ..crowns there, which he missed imme. diately. Witness was fearful of making resistance. us they were so numerous. He received several severe blows in the face, and one of his teeth was knocked out. When on the ground he re- ceived several kicks about the extremities and body. While this was going on they took his coat front his back. Witness attempted to get into the booth to give information, bait was prevented by be ing brutally attacked by the prisoner and his party, one of whom jumped on his leg and sprained it very much. More money was then taken front his trowsers' pocket. Ile was quite sure of the idcnt;ty of the prisoner. for lie not only joined others in the assault, but had been previously watching hint. They left hint almost in a state ...fnudity. He then proceeded towards the barracks, crying " mortice !" lie applied to the police next day. and went to the magistrate at Heston. The prisoner was taken that day week. Witness was forced :o go to the workhouse :o be taken are of, at the expense of the parish, as he was ill and destitute. E. Collins—la a shoemaker, and was at the review. He saw the affray, and his testimony corroborated the preceding evidence in its material parts. He added, that when the thieves left him the pro secutor appeared much hurt, and bad nothing left bat his trowsers and stockings. He had a good opportunity of observing the poe tics, and was quite sure the prisoner was tine of them. Cross-examined—He never attempted to aid and assist, because he was himself in bodily fear. Witness was there three-quarters of an hour. Never saw the prisoner before that day. The reason shy he did not interfere was, dint he had the are of the booth. The prisoner now denied the charge, but The REcortura summed up the evidence, observing, that the ease demanded the most serious attention of the Jury; for In ease of a conviction, no person who Mad heard the evideneekaald lament that an example should be made of the prisoner, as a warning to others. (The prisoner, who is a tine young man. burst into tears.) The Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty—Death. The RtcoacrE a exhorted the prisoner to set about the work of repentance immediately, as in all probsbility he would shortly un. dergo the full extent of the law. he prisoner was removed from the bar weeping bitterly. Cliffard. whose trial we yesterday reported, with that of Richard and T. Taufor, was again charged with receiving apparel. the property of J. Trumpet. and acquitted. _ BURGLARY. G. fluin..s. area 4 20, was indicted for breaking and entering she house of J. Langley, and stealing apparel, the propertyof Ann }lover and others. The Jury found him Guilty of stealing under the amount of 405., and Acquitted him of the burglary. The Cot: UT sentenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years. NEW COURT. Before the COMMON SERGEANT. fr. Thurlovr. aged 40, was indicted for stealing, in the house of T. Mennell, a watch and other articles, value All., the property of Emilie St. Ange. Robinson examined—l received a letter fmm the prisoner, which he told me to take to Mrs., Taunton-place. It was on the Ifith of July. I gave It to a female at the house. I slid not receive anything from her. The prisoner told me to get a gold' chai:t there, but she did not give it. I then went back to the watch. house, where the prisoner was, and lie asked me to take another letter, upon taking which I received the chain. I gave it in at the Marlborough -street office. Howard took it. Robert Howard—l have seen the proueeutrix at the irstehlionse. There was another woman with lter, who interpreted. On the 15th July the prisoner and two French women were brought to the watchhouse, when the French woman asked him to give up their property, one gold watch, one gold chain, three gold rings, one gold seal, one gold pin. She said that he had been to see her and had taken these things away. She lived at 44, Frith-street, Soho. He told her she should have the property, but he had not got it' about him. I did not hear them say that if he would give up the property they would not prosecute him. The prosecutrix and the prisoner talked together in French fur some time, but it was not trauslated so as I could understand. The prisoner never said any thing to me as to how lie came possessed of the property. The Cost MON SCIWEANT said, at present there was no evidence before the Court to prove to whom the property belonged; sus picions were not enough. The prosecute's having been called upon her recognizance', and not appearing. they were, by order of the Court, entreated, and the prisoner acquitted. IV. Brown, aged 31, stood indicted for de :manslaughter of R. Scott, the younger. S. Holmes examined-1 live in B'est-street, Somerstown, and am a brewer. I have knows the prisoner for twelve month'. He was a derk in the sante house with witness and the deceased. On the Bth of August. about seven in the evening, 1 saw the prisoner in the store-house, and Scott coming up the yard—some conversation took place about some bung.elutit being taken for aprons, and the prisouer, who had a knife in his hand, went up to Scott, and, with out saying a word, cut about four or five inches half across his apron. Scutt drew his apron back to prevent him, laid hold of the prisoner's, pulled it off, put his foot on one corner when at the ground, and tore it. I then turned away my head, anti immediately heard Scott say " Good God, Brown, what arc you doing ?" And when I looked at hint he was shaking his left hand, which was bloody, and Scott said, if you, Brown, have any malice against !me strike me," and he then hit Brown upon the head. 'Flis de ! ceased was eventually taken to a doctor. Cress-examined—There were no other words pissed between them than what I have mentioned. The aprons and the bung. clod' areal the sante kind of stuff: R. Jones esnmined--I was at the brewery on the 9th instant, and remember the prisoner asking me if! had ally dautry (bung-401) I told him I had not. 1 sas Brown make a stroke at the der, ised, and cut hint across the wrist, but 1 cannot say whether he intended to rut him there or to cut the apron again. The prisoner and die deceased had had some words in consequence of Scutt's being very fund of joking. (mss-examined—At the first chop the prisoner cut a piece off the :von of Scutt. The prisoner had said to me he did not like Scutt a joking. T. Hill, another person in the same service. saw Scott tear the prisoner's apron, after wlth.h the prisoner trot his, and the de ceased tried to got it back, during which time the prisoner kept chapping, as witness thought, at this apre.:, and it wes then that the deceased received the cut. _ _ 11. Hammond, a pupil at Middlesex Hospital, 5.1111 that the dr censeddied of a disease in the chust—he was brought there for an accident, that which had happened to his hand, which witness had no doubt hastened his thugs—the body WWI opened, and it was very evident that the lungs were ateLlell preciously to the accident, yet he might have lived several years. The COGNOR SERGEANT said, lie was of opinion that the cause of the deceased's death was nut sufficiently brought home to the prisoner ; and if the Jury thought the same, of course they would acquit the prisoner. The Jury found the prisoner Nil Gaidty. SLY iwe E %.—At two o'clock, the Calm/tar baring been gone throagh, the RECORDER retired for about an hunr, and on his re. torn hr proceeded to parr the sentences :—I2 to be transports...

THE BRITISH PRESS. 'he was the man ; but he resembled him is size. Ile had subse --war— qvcntly sun his watch at the shop of Mr. Joseph Harris, a paw:l. lI.V.WSION-HOUSE. broker. in Tot:WI-sir:et. A won= of respectable appearance came to the Justice Room Mr. Harris. i w iwobmker, stat, that on the 10th imtant, t heh ' __ __ ._ to his to pawn. and askd PO rice. a few days ago and in tears - templainnd to Mr . Nobler, in the absence of the . l.ord Mayor, that the Churchwarden and Over seers of the parish were determined to separoe her from a little girl whom she had brought up finer infancy, and loved as her own child, and that the calamity of such separation was aggraratri by the fact. that 'hey meant to cast the unfortunate child, as it were, amongst Me dregs of the workhouse. Mr. lIODLEa advised her to mention the particulars to .he Lord Mayor. l'estarday. the Parish Officers having business to transact in the Justice Haim, she attended and made her statement. The little girl is the illegitimate child of the sister of a gentle. man of respectability in the City, and a member of the Corporraion. Soon after the birth, the parish to whose care the father thought proper to entrust her, and to which he had given the sum of INV guineas as a composition, put her into the hands of the complain ant, to whom they allowed a certain weekly sum for her main. ttnance. That allowance sustained, some time ago, a considerable diminution, but the attentions of the affectionate nurse increased in proportion. The parish officers. observing the strength of the attachment, calculated (and they give themselves credit for their sagacity), that an attempt upon their part to drag the child front her friend would have the effect of ridding them altogether of the burden. They accordingly came to a resolution, at a vestry, to teaks the child into the house, as they call it. The parish officers, on being questioned, admitted that they had received 100 guineas for the maintenance of the child, and thit the complainant had taken the greatest possible care of her. The LORD MAYOR requested :a know why, it so liberal an al. lowancc hail been made to the parish, and the woman had acted so like a mother to the poor child, the pariah could think of making a separation which must inure injurious to the child, and give greet pain to the woman. The churchwarden said, inn low tone of vcice, that the fact was, the parish rished to get rid of the expense of supporting the child, and they thought flu the beat way Of effecting that was by threat ening to put the child in the house. The Loin MAYOR reprobated this plan of economy. He con sidered it nothing less than a scheme fur extorting money. and ex pressed his surprise that so disgraceful a matueuvre should be adopted. The churchwarden seemed to feel this reproof, and respectfully said that he should consult the relatives of the little girl upon the prisoner Oliver . brought a shop . past.. one pound on it ; witness gave hint 1:1s. Ile was positive as to the prisoner being the person who pawned it. 31r. M•RILAWD. asked the prisoner to give some account of his obtaining possession of the watch? Young Oliver said that he did not steal it, nor know of Its being stolen, and be could produce the person of whom he per. chased it. Mr. MAZILLAND—Of whom did you buy it, and what did you give for it ? Young Oliver—l bought it of a man named Turpin, sad gave him a pound for it. Cooper the officer here stated to the Magistrate that Turpin was as notorious a character as any man in Westminster, and had absconded since the apprchension of youog Oliver, and Turpin's wife bad been lurking about the police office all day, for the pur. pose of communicating to her husband the result of the present examination. Mr. kfassuatt—Pray, Master Oliver, what do you do for a living ? Young Oliver—l go to fights with my father. mid generally make three sr four pounds at each fight, by letting waggons to the spec. tatOrtl. Mr. MAUI Lawn—Y.llr father has brought you up, I am sorry to say, in a way not likely to promote your interests. I thought your father had left of prise fighting. Young Oliver-1 es, he has. but he belongs to the ring, and bets, and gets money by attending matches, &c. at the Fives' I ;c , 31r. 3lasx Lao:la—Your connection with the notorious Turpin proves to me that you are initiated into the very worst habits, and I shall commit you to prison. Young Otis er—l can only declare that I am innocent of theeob. bery, and I think it is hard to be commiued, when I have stated who was the person from whom I obtained the watch. Mr. Wiwi - v -1f you should by chance get through this charge, I advise you to have nothing more ado with price fighters and suck characters as Turpin, or it will lead you to your ruin. Young Oliver—Thank you, Sir. Mr. Ma tta xarrn—And I think the best thing you Mad de would b: to go for a soldier. Young Oliver made some objection to Mr. Markland's propos& Lion, and was committed for re.czaminstion on Friday next. subject of her future welfare. I M rORTANT CAsE RESPECTIY:O Poen RATES. The Over seers of the parish of All-Hallows. It irking, summoned a number of parishioner's for non-payment of poor rates. The first case was one in which a parishioner was charged with not having paid two years' arrears, amounting to 04 Ilis wife at tended. She had a house for which she paid 501. per annum, and which she kept open as a coffea.shop. She was liable to pay the poor's rates, and if the demand was enforced the whole family must go to the workhouse. The 'loose might be let in lodgings, but her husband was such a drunken quarrelsome man that no one could be found to lodge in the same house with him. The LORD MAYOR in this Me suggested that it would be im prudent to press the claim* of the parish. The Offieers said they felt the force of the humane recommen- ' dation, but a ruinous practice was gaining ground in this and other parishes, which it was requisite to suppress, by sternly exacting the payment of the rates in every instance. There were numbers of persons in low circumstances residing in the parish, who had been excused a long time from the payment of the poor's rates, on account of alleged inability. The effect of this indulgence had been that the landlords were enabled either to keep up the rents when every thing else was falling, or had actually advanced them so as to get I the last farthing that was gained by the non-payment of the poor's i rata. The Loan MAYOR said he well knew that the practice which was justly complained of by the parish officers prevailed to • great extent, anti was gaining ground. Ile knew one parish whose whole courts and alleys were built upon the express specula tion that the tenants should pay a high rent by getting rid of the poor's rates, in which they generally succeeded. lie agreed that the practice should be resisted, and as a general rule he was deter mined not to listen to the plea of inability on account of high rent ; but the present ease was an exception. The poor woman was avow. idly straggling to maintain a family of nine children. and to save them from the workhouse. The question therefixe for the parish officers was, whether they would forego the demand, or maintain the whole family as paupers. The Parish Officers consulted on the subject., and we understood they withdrew the prosecution foe the present, in order to take the instructions of the %'es•ry upon the case. Several other persons were then proceeded against for the non payment of rats*. 110 W-STREET. BRUTAL A SeArLT.— Alwre, a tall and powerful man, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with attacking Mary Moore, a lodger is his house. The parties are no relations. The complainant, who is s poor feeble old woman, was supported into the office by her son, who was shedding tears as fast as he could. Mrs. Moore told her story as well as she was able. The I prisoner is a shoemaker residing in Wych-street, and on Saturday ' morning last a son of the eomplainant went into his apartment, and drunk some milk, which enraged the prisoner, and some altercation haring ensued, he aimed a blow at her head, which gave her a tre mendous black eye. The complainant, wishing to ward off the blow, raised up IND arm, which, in descending, met the knife held in the Mogi of the prisoner, and the fah of her arm was completely cut through from the wrist to the shoulder. files. Moore said she had Steen unable to attend before, and though she had lost the use of her arm for ever, by which she gained a livelihood for her family, yet she was unwilling to prosecute the prisoner, being aware that the knife caught her arm. Sir IL admire your Christian forgiveness, Mrs. Moore, but 1 cannot permit such a brute to go unpunished. lie must answer for the outrage before a Jury.

Yesterday Jowl, a person holding a confidential situation in the Excise, was brought before Mr. HARDWICK by the Parish Officers of Poplar. to account for having refused to support his good and lawful wife. Mrs. Jones, a respectable and well-dressed woman, who appears to have passed the meridian of life, stated, that her husband, Mr. Jones, had left her IS years since, and daring that time she had never laid her eyes upon him, until Thursday morning last, when site was informed where he lived. She went to his house, but was refused admittance, and she was in consequence obliged to apply to the pariah for relief. Mr. Jones, on being asked by the Magistrate on what grounds he refused to support his wife, stated, that in the year 18U9 re verse of fortune obliged him to leave the place of his nativity in Wales, and he came up to London to look for a situation, leaving his wife and three children with and under the protection of his father, then and still living where he said her and her children might hate lived comfortably till this day. That in about two years after his coming to town, he obtained the situation which he still holds, and finding that it was in his power to support his wife and children, he wrote to them to come up to town, but to his great surprise and astonishment he received for answer that his Wife had deserted his children and friends, and was living in oped adul tery with a clerk in a banking-house in the neighbourhood. On receiving this unpleasant and unexpected news, he immediately sent for his children, whom he has since paid every attention to. He could, he seid, if necessary, bring forward, as a living witness of Mrs. Jones's guilt, her own son, a boy nearly 13 years of me, the eldest of three, the fruits of her adulterous intercourse. Under such circumstances he hoped the Magistrate would not oblige hits to support a woman that had served him so. Mr. Ilattnwicx said, that by his own showing she was his lawful wife, and as he had taken her " For better for worse" he was (however hard the case) by law bound to redeem the parish from any expenses it was at by her becoming chargeable thereto. After sonic consideration on the part of Mr. Jones, he said, that rather than allow her a separate maintenance, he would take her home again, if she pr.miistd to behave well for the future. Mrs. Jones pledged herself to do so, and they both left the office apparently as good friends as ever. UNION-HALL.

She was quitting the house when the occupier detained her to see that " all was right," but on awaking the countryman, aid find ing " it all wrong," she was given in custody. 31 A RLBOROUG ILSTR E ET. Mit.Faysyntestov..—W'hen Mr. CONANT, the Magistrate, had taken his seat on the Bench yesterday, a respectable elderly gentle man, whose name did not appear, requested Plank, the of fi cer, to pro cure him an interview with his Worship, as he had business ef im portance to communicate to him. 31r. CON•NT granted there quest, and the gendeman stated, that he had unfortunately been a great sufferet by the recent failure of the bank in Bemereastreet, and besides a considerable sum in cash, he had two brown paper parcels, containing valuable securities deposited therein. He had, since the house stopped payment, made repeated applications for the restitution of the securities, but the persons to whom be was re ferred refused to glee them up, and told him, if he did net feel satis fied, to apply to his Worship. He had in consequence wade this application, to know if he could not in any way regain possession of the parcels and their contents.. Mr. CONANT told the gentleman lie was sorry for his situation, but there were hundreds of persons similarly placed. and he regret ted it was out of his power to assist him. The gentleman maned quite dissatisfied at the Magistrate's re ply, and urged him to give some authority to get possession of the securities ; lie considered they ought not to be - detained. Mr. Coxitur reiterated his former reply, and assured him that it would give hint great pleasure if he could comply with his re quest ; he must await the meeting of the Commissioners under the bankruptcy. 1 he gentleman then bowed, and retired. This morning an application was made by the Bank. to defer the examination of Mr. Fauntleroy, which was fixed for this day, for a week, they not being prepared to bring other cases against hint. The application was granted, and he will therefore be brought up this day week. Mary-Ares Peer**, enter known as Ludy Borrriore, was charged by Webb, the beadle of St. Anne's parish, with being in a most beastly state of intoxication, and molesting every person a ho happened to come in her way. Webb, in addition so the charge against the prisoner, stated. that it was only last week that she was brought before Mr. MM. shull, at Bow-serest Office, on a similar charge, when Mr. Min. emit, by the advice of Mr. Nodder, the I tovernor of Tuthill-fields prison, took her own nmognizance fur her appearance at the West minster Sessions. Mr. Cowawr after remonstrating with her upon the impro priety of her conduct, ordered her to be locked up till three o'clock, when, if she behaved herself quietly, she was to be discharged. A very respectably-dressed man, named Martin, was charged by another person of equally respectable appearance, with having assaulted him on Thurday night, at the Thistle cud Crown, Hu pertssteeet. By Mr. Alexander's statement it appeared, that he was spending the evening at the public-house in question, when, at about half past eleven o'clock, the defendant, who was very much intoxicated, challenged hint to light, which challenge not being accepted, the difeetiant gave hint a violent blow over the eye, which completely closed it. Mr. A. also stated, that the landlaily.of the house had threatened to discharge the waiter, who witnessed the affair, if he appeared here to give his evidence. Mr. CONANT—Then she not only keeps her house open at that late hoer, but also user threats to the waiter to prevent his appear ing here. LA one of the watchmen go the house, and Tequila her inintetPlate attendance. Mr. Martin, in defence, did not attempt in the least to ticr.y the I charge, but pleaded drunkenness in mitigation.

COTTON.—The purchases of Cotton by private contract since our last report are too inconsiderable to enumerate; the trade were anxiously waiting the event of this day's East India House sale. It consisted of 16,500 bags, of which only about 1,000 bags were disposed of. The sale was uncommonly ill attended, and there appeared no disposition whatever to purchase. The Bengals may be stated id., Surata, ed. a id. per lb. lower titan the previous cur rency ; and such Is the alarm 'in the Market, that at two public sales, afterwards brought forward, of Egyptian. Demerara, and Carriacou, there were no offers whatever made. SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades has been very limited this week. The public sale of St. Lucia descriptions on 'Tuesday damped the Market, and the low brown descriptions may be qsoted at a reduction of Is. per cwt. ; the better qualities cannot be quoted lower; but there is a great heaviness, and sales are with difficulty effected at the previous currency. In Refined goods there is little alteration ;'the low qualities continue in request, and sup port the former prices; the finer descriptions are neglected. Mo. lasses are higher ; 266. is the price this morning. The request for Foreign Sugars continue general end extensive ; 28s. is readily realised for good yellow Ilayannah. Notwithstanding the quan tity of Mauritius Sugar lately brought forward, about 40,000 bags, the prices are higher; Gd. a Is. per cwt. premium Is demanded on the late public sale prices. COFFEE.—The public sales of Coffee this week have gone off rather heavily, except for tbo middling and finer descriptions, which fully support the previous currency ; the ordinary qualities of British Plantation Coffee have sold a shade lower; Foreign de stVogtions arc Is. a Is. Gd. lower; St. Domingo, 395. 6d. a 625.; ordinary sold, Gib. ilid. a fils. There were two public sales brought forward this forenoon, chiefly Demerara Coffee; fins realised 112 s. fal ; some middling Jamaica sold rather lower; St. Domingo ordinary to good ordinary, 60s. fal. a 61s. The Market to-day is very steady. SALTPETRE.—IIy public sale on Tuesday, 33 tons Salt petre. no refraction, 21s. a 21s. GJ. SPICES.—There continues to be some request for Nutmegs at 2s. I Id. and 35. Id.; Pimento of good quality still realises ltd. ; in Black Pepper there is little alteration; White Pepper has ad vanced Is. per lb. owing to the loss of a vessel, with a large quan tity on board, and the East India Company having none in the warehouses. By public sale on Tuesday 4 6 bags Mauritius Cloves sold, Is. 10d. a 2s. SILIC—The Silk trade continues very brisk, Bengal and Chinas at the advance of is. a Is. fkl. per lb. on the late India House sale prices, and the request extensive at the improvement. FRUIT.—In our last we noticed an improvement In the demand for Currants, which has much increased this week, and higher prices are demanded in consequence. The inferior descriptions of Zantc are now held at 102 s. Red Smyrna Raisins continue to go off slowly • there is no alteration in the other descriptions. RUM, BR ANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Spirit market remains in a very depressed matt.; the purchases of Rum, by pri- vete contract, are too inconsiderable to enumerate. dB public sale, 103 puncheons Jamaica Rum were brought Mew ; the whole sold at very depressed prices; landed in August, 11121, strength averaging Ifl. all sold at Is. ful. and Is. dd. per gallon: the market prices, by private contract, arc in consequence completely nominal. The accounts front France, respecting the vintage, are exceedingly unt'avounible. The prices of Brandy are 4d. a Gil. per Cal lon higher titan in London : the market here is, however, evidently improving ; early in the week Brandies were more firm, without being higher; but within the last few days an advance of fully Id. per gallon has been realised ; several purchases of Brandy housed have been reported at Is. 7d. ; the quotation tow is' s. 7d. a Is. did. In Geneva no purchases are reparted. TAlalMill'.—The Tallow market early in the week rather re vived ; it is again heavy : Tallow of 1823 may be quoted to-slay at 345. t d. ; of 11124, at 345. 91. 011. S.—The Oil market is in a state of stagnation ; no accounts yet received respecting the Davis Straits Fishery. IRISH PROVISIONS.—The Government contract, 12,000 casks Beef and 9,000 casks Pork. has been taken to-day by house of O'Callaghan and Co. of Cork ; the particulars have not trans pired, but its believed to be under W. per tierce all round.
