SUieREY SESSIONS. IMPORTANT DECISION TO PARISHES. The Court was oeeopied during the forenoon yesterday In ►raring parish appeals. The case of Ilford a Langford was argued at considerable length by Mr. Torten for the Re spondesta, mid Mr. Heath for the Appellants. It was a ease of considerable interest to parishes, oa which till Judges of the Collet at Ring's amok were divided is opinion, aid referred back to the Smokes fir • rehearing. The emotion was, whOther a servant, who had been hired by the month, beernie eatltled to a settlement as • pauper is the parish where be or she should *u serve for upwards of a twelve month. The peeper, Mary Webb, stated, that she hid been hired by a Mrs. Tyrrell, • farmer's wife at Ilford, ma the 10th of Jauusey, 1820, fur • mswt►, for which she was lb receive Bs. wages. The mistress, however, as it appeared in the course of the ease, was fearful that she should lose the strikes of the girl dories the Summer, when better wages could be ob tained by bsreeselug, and therefore immediately after made • mew agreement, by which Ilse girl was to matinee with bet d•. tag the summer on the terms of a month's' Wainlnt or a month's wages.. The girl continued in this service 1,1111 the let of March in this following year, whet it beelimmed that she bad • child sad was turned many, end as her Mouth did sot expire until the 10th, her millirem gave her a ditenth's wages. She had before received her wages at Christmas and Ladyllide. Heald argued at considerable befit► that this was Mein from month to month, which did out entitle the peeper to say settlement at Ilford. Mr. TIIIITOW g with much fine sad Menially, addressed the Coati In behalf of the respondent parish, contending that this was • hiring for • g I indefinite period, and should be legally considered a general birlog that entitled the pauper to a settlement. The Cosfitir, after a lout ecissoltatios, decided, by Is ma joeity of os• o ly, that a ►iring 011 the terms of • osiisilh's owning or • mouth's wages, was a good service, said tuthlrd the pauper to her settlement in the pa. sib of Ilford.

PROM ♦ CORRESPONDINT.I On Monday, the 14th inst. the Earl of Darnley held Ilia rent-day at Cobham Hall, which was more numerously attended than foe Mast years pasi. After a very sumptuous dinner, the Noble Lord addressed his icsistary in a speech delivered with great energy and feeling, and which produced cur responding effect. He stated, with much perspi cuity and ability, the sources to which the present agricultural difficulties might be traced, and trust ed that the evil had now arrived at its height. sod that a Enure favourable tarn might be expected, although he would not delusively hold out to thetis an expectation that this could be effected without • lapse of some time. In the mean time, however, be exhorted those around him not to relax in their ' exertions, confident, as he was, that those who most strenuously confirmed them would, in the end, find their advantage. Fully ■ware of the existing pressure, he had already directed • re duction to be made in their rents ; and although he did not find himself called upon to make an absolute pledge upon this point, he felt his dis position towards his tenantry to be such, that tf. unhappily (and contrary to his present opinion), the difficulties should continue, he should be ready to make even greater sacrifices, under the fullest persuasion that the interests of landlord and tenant were inseparable, and so iuterwoveu that they Must and ought " To risk or solo together." There was, however, one event upon which he had no hesitation in giving a pledge, namely, that if a favourable change should take place, he would not, in their prosperity, perk an additional advantage to himself. He concluded by proposing, as a toast, " Success to Agriculture." The address was received with every demonstra tion of satisfaction and g►utitude, and the day was passed in perfect harmony. The redaction already made by the Noble Lord ivy it, most instances, to the extent of 20 per cent. POLICE. r-• MAISSION-1101.1111. W'Mitas Johnson was charged by Mr. Miller, of Lower Thames-01nel, upon suspicion of having committed • rub. bery on Thursday night, under circumstances of rather an ez troordinary kind.

Upon' examining other parts of the premises, Mr. Miller found that his iron chest had been furred apes. The instrument (a large chisel) with which this feat was performed nee lying on the premise., and a dark lantern, which the thieves in their merry moments had fueguttea, Was also picked up In the course of the search. The petty, cash drawers of tbe iroo chest lay open, empty ; but Mr. Miller believed there had been in them when be kit the warehouse a sum perhaps not exeredtog a couple of pounds. The bills and papers were not taken away, neither had any thing been removed that was likely to be d. Souse silver croft-tops weer takes, but the meets were left behind. The chisel, which, though very strong, had beets broken in the desperate effort to open the chest, was of the largest size, sad the whole plan of operations seemed to have been conducted by a person experienced end resolute. All the rooms of the building except ileum ire frost had bees visited by the depredators ; and there were various cir conudances coot-wring to fix • very strong suspicion oil the Prisoner, besides the probability that he was the writer of 77. • - .~~ ~.. , ~~ lin letter of doltis h to ikr.
