Mr. \\PARLEY who was in majority against th., Bill in the former Parlilment, and who now was unable to support the measure, yet admitted that some imt rovement in the remedy at present given to a landlord against a tenant holding ever was necessary. Sir E. SUDDEN concurred with the lion. Member for Finsbury that the present f rtn of ejectment might ly! improved, and that the principle of Mr. AOLIONFIY'S proposition was bad. Mr. JER VIS strongly opposed the measiffe, and moved, but we believe did not divide the HousA, uj:on the question thz.t the Bill be read "this day six month;." Or the motion of Lo:c1 J. RUSSELL, the Parliamen!ary Electors and Frcemcns' Bill was, after a short discussion, read a 'second time. Lord NloiteETn, in reply to Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, said that the Government interded to introduce Tome s changes in the system of education in Leland, so as to meet the reason able demands and conscientious sc:uples of the Protestant population of that country. 'rho CHANCELLOR or the EXCHEQUER having stated, in answer to a question from Mr. HUM., that it was not the in tention of tha Government to abolish the pension of the King of HANOVER, Mr. HUME gave notice that he should, in the first week in February, move f4;r have to brim in such a Bill. Oa the motion that the Report upon the QUEEN'S Message for a provision for the Duchess of KENT be agreed to, some discussion took place. Mr. GROTE said that he did not see— and sure be was the country universally would not recog ',i.e.—any good grounds to justify the imposition of this additional charge of 8,0001. a year upon the public purse. " Looking at the relief from expense," remarked the lion. Member for London, " which her Royal Highness expe ri,.nced at the very moment when the House was making this addition, he thought the present season a verb unfavoura'ole one for increasing her provision. - It was a grant which he wished had never been proposed." The Civil List Bill was read a second time : the debate was fixed for Friday, when Mr. HumE will move certain re ductions of income. Lotd 310RFETH brought in a Bill to regnlate the expenses of conveying prisoners in Ireland. Mr. WouLFE brought in a Bill for the more effectual levy ing' of fines, penalties, and forfeited recognirinces in Ireland. Mr. PCYME obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act 54 Geo. 111. c. 170, sec. 11, so far as relates to the discharg ing- from the payment of rates such persons as are unable, through poverty, to pay the same. The House adjourned sLottly after Seven o'Clock. Never was any animal with so many good qualities treated so cruelly as John Bull has been by his best friends. His loyalty, courage, good faith, and good nature, instead of procuring him kind treatment, have only been made the means of robbing'and cheating him, and of heaping on him a load such as no poor creature was ever subjected to. Yet overloaded as he is, he does not, like the sulky ass, which the poet described as an emblem of himself, hang down his ears, but re ceives burden after burden, and, giving now and then a kick, finally submits with the most placid equani mity. Omitting the difficulties in which he has been placed by fighting foreign battles with which he had no earthly concern, his rulers have enough to answer for in their treatment of him at home, and in no instances have they taken more advantage of his good nature than those where they can work upon his loyal feelings. At the births, the marriages, and the deaths of Princes, the opportune moment is seized by his unfeeling masters, and he is made the victim. Passing by the additional grants made to GEORGE 111. on account of his increased family, and the sums voted to liquidate the debts of the Prince of WALES on his marriage, notwithstanding the vast re venues from the Droits of the Admiralty, who can contemplate what has occurred within the last twenty years without feeling indignation against his rulers, and compassion for his unmerited fate ? On the marriage of the Princess CHARLOTTE, a sum of 50,0001, a-year for life was voted to Prince LEOPOLD, in case he survived her. About the same pe nod, and chiefly, toc, o a:,,aunt of marriages, the incomes of all the other branches of the Royal Family were increased ; the joyful accession of WILLIAM the FOURTH, and his support of the Re form Bill, were taken advantage of to get a vote of 100,000/. a-year for his surviving QUEEN; and all these grants were made without any condition that John should be relieved of one fraction of the burden when any of the parties became an independent foreign SOVEREIGN. Though the grant to the Duke of CUMBERLAND is not the fourth part of the pension if the QUEEN Dowager, or the half of that of Prince .I.EopoLD, we are convinced the nation will feel snore indignant for the omission of a clause by tile pension should cease on his acces sion to _the Throne of Hanover, than on ac count of any of these grants, however enormous. If Jc3n do not kick most furiously on this occasion, we mistake his nature. Though he will pay liberally I to support the dignity and splendour of the Royal family in this country, he will not submit to pay for the support of a foreign potentate, who, for aught that he knows, may use the money in destroying the liberties of his subjects, or in reviving rebellious Socie ties, or in aiding a conspiracy to destroy the freedom of election in the Sister Island. We rejoice to learn that Mr. HUME intends, early in February, to bring in a Bill for depriving the King of HANOVER of the pension of 21,0001. a year, which his MAJESTY blushes not to draw out of the public revenues of this country. Were King ERNEST possessed of a particle of generosity—had he the least respect for his Hanoverian subjects—were he to con sult for an instant the dignity of his Crown, he would consider it a disgrace to appear in the eyes of Conti nental Europe the pensioner of Great Britain. The Tory Journals, in defending the abrogation of the Hanoverian Constitution, prate about the indepen dence of the new SOVEREIGN. Independent for sooth ! and yet maintain his regal state by a pension drawn from the Exchequer of a Foreign Power ! No, no ; ERNEST iS not independent while he continues to receive a pension from England ; and his retention of it after being called to the Sovereignty of an independent State, demonstrates that tyranny, avarice, and mean ness are kindred vices. The Hanoverians themselves cannot regard this pension in any other light but that of a disgrace to them—a badge of the subserviency of their Crown to the diadem of England. Had the States been summoned under the Constitution of 1833, it is probable that a grant would have been made to the KING equivalent to the amount of his English pension, on the understanding that he would volun tarily relinquish what must appear in the eyes of Continental Sovereigns a foreign subsidy ; but that Constitution having been set aside by the Letters Patent of the Ist of November, King ERNEST has not only resumed the hereditary possessions of the Crown, but insisted upon retaining the Civil List granted in lieu of them by the States. ills MA JESTY cannot therefore plead poverty in extenuation of such mean, subservient, and disgraceful avarice ; and even if he could, that would not justify an appeal on the part of a King of HANOVER to the bounty of the people of this country. It is too bad to tax the people of England to enable a petty German Despot to carry on a crusade against the Constitutional liberty of the subjects doomed to acknowledge the sway of such a Sovereign. But perhaps ERNEST'S retention of his English pension proceeds from au apprehension of being one day or other expelled from his hereditary throne. It such be the case, we are willing to have his pension restored to him the instant he quits Han over—provided, always, that he make not England the i place of his exile. Two public meetings were held yesterda3—one at the White Conduit House, and the other at Lambeth —for the purpose of taking into consideration Lou' JOHN RussELL's late declarations in Parliament res pecting vote by Ballot, Extension of the Suffrage, and the Repeal of the Septennial Act. Vie fotesaw at the time when his Lordship made these disheartening declarations, that he would bring a hornets' nest about his Las, and the result has shown that our anticipa tions were well founded. Scarcely a day now passes without one or more meetings being held on the subject cf the . Ballot that very ques tion on which the Noble Lord expressed himself with most decision—and at ail these Reform gatherings the language held is pretty nearly the same, namely, that of abated confidence, if not in the good faith, at any rate in the spirit and energy, of Ministers. We are not surprised at this growing distrust on the part of the people ; for the doctrine of the " finality" of the Re form Bill, four years after it has been proved to be an incomplete remedy, is a doctrine that no one would ever have expected to have seen broached by a mem ber of the MELBOURNE Cabinet. It is, as Lord BROUGHAM justly observed the other night, " a new air with variations"—Whig words set to Tory music. Mr. ROEBUCK, therefore, has warrant for the faith— or rather want of faith—that is in him. Lord Joirti RUSSELL has furnished him with abundant reasons for dissatisfaction, though we regret to see that discon tent pushed to the verge of the most inveterate hosti lity, for, lukewarm as they have shown themselves, Ministers have not yet reached that point, at which it becomes the duty of all zealous Re formers to abandon them altogether. We may still indulge a lingering hope that they will see the error of their ways ; retrace some of their steps; and act on other great questions with the same prompti tude and energy that they have acted on the Pension List. Why, indeed, seeing the right path, should they heSitate to pursue it ? They have no hostile Court now, as they had throughout last Session ; they have no back-stairs influence at work to thwart all their best schemes ; the QUEEN is with them ; and so also are the people—that is to say, so long as they show a zealous determination to advocate the people's interests. Let Ministers then but dare to be firm, regardless of the Tory opposition, which is only formi dable, when they pursue a shilly shally course of conduct. It is firmness alone that can now ensure them a continuance in office. It will be seen by an account in another column that the result of the first Municipal Election for the borough of Devonport, under the new Charter, is the return of twenty-eight Liberals to the Council out of thirty-six members. The Mayor, EDWARD ST. AUBYN, Esq., son of the Lord of the Manor, and ten out of twelve Aldermen, are Liberals. This is a de cisive proof, if any were wanting, that there is no re action in favour of Toryism in the patriotic and naval borough of Devonport. But the Whigs must not, therefore, infer that they stand high as a party in the con fidence of the liberal inhabitants. On the contrary, it is evident from the tone of some of the speeches, that Lord JOIIN RUSSELL'S declaration about the finality of the Reform Bill has alienated from the Whigs the affection of their staunchest supporters, and that the people really begin to look forward to a time when the Liberals will be able to assume the direction of her MAJESTY'S Councils. Parliament must swallow the three Radical powders so unceremoniously re jected by the Noble Home Secretary ; and from what we can learn, their presentation to the Legislature is likely to be greatly accelerated by his Lordship's menace of retiring into private life, in the event of their being forced upon the Cabinet of which he is a Member. Wherever public opinion can manifest itself, the people are in favour of Short Parliaments, the Ballot, and the Extension of the Suffrage. With the protection of the Ballot the Suffrage cannot be too widely extended ; whereas without such pro tection .it would be impossible for a poor elec tor to vote according to the dictates of his conscience. We are delighted to find that the people of Devonport are so much alive to the defects of the pre sent elective system, and we trust that under their new form of Municipal Government their voices will be raised in repeated addresses to the Legis lature, praying for a further improvement in the repre sentation of the country. The first great object of the Reformers . must be to obtain the Ballot, in order to put an end to bribery and intimidation in the boroughs. An Extension of the Suffrage must ne cessarily either precede or follow this measure—and in either case with advantage to the nation. We have just cast a hasty glance at a little pamphlet entitled " A Voice from Stroud," which is addressed to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in reply to his Lordship's . _ recent declarations in Parliament, which have been pro ductive of so much dissatisfaction among Reformers. The author of this pamphlet commences by observing, " the relation in which I stand to the borough you re present, will alone vindicate my title to respectfully ad dress you on this occasion, in the name of those of your constituency who have recently signed the Stroud peti tion for the Ballot ; and more especially in the name of those of my friends who have twice supported your in terest, and who secured your election on the last occa sion, under the belief—induced by your reply to my question on the hustings, although no pledge was either asked or given—that your objections to the Ballot would be overruled by such an increase of the foul in fluences as should violate the unquestioned right of every elector to vote freely according to his consci ence." Mr. SYMONS, the author, then goes on to say:—" My Lord, the evidences of that increase are nightly arrayed before you I In the compact and powerful phalanx of your opponents in Parliament, you will find two hundred proofs of the door to corruption which the Reform Bill left open, and which the intel ligence of the country calls on you to close." This is a forcible appeal to his Lordship's sense of consistency, which—on the question of the Ballot, at _least—seems to have resolved on the enjoyment of a profound slum ber. It is to be hoped however that our author's ap peal will have the effect of rousing this lethargic fa culty. " Day by day," continues Mr. SYMONS, "is the franchise enthralled. Day by day are the sacrifices of interest to conscience rendered more oppressive and un endurable. Is there any hope that this state of things will cease of itself ? Is there the smallest rational ground to believe that it will not continue to increase ? Are not every conceivable means now daily employed by our enemies which can further their fell ends, or minister to the strength of their gigantic power ? Is not the paid agency of corruption energetic and redoubled ? Is not its unpaid agency even still more •formidably extensive and vigilant ? Are there not in three-fourths of our parishes men who scruple not to desecrate the influ ence of their spiritual offices, by the furtherance of the vassalage of the people ; who are unceasing in their efforts to gag opinion, to bias the judgment, to dictate the very newspapers their parishioners shall read, and who in most ins,ances, confine their favours alone to those who are subservient to their political views." Th ere i s no exa ogeration—no overcharged colouring The influence of Toryism at elections is quite as corrupt, vigilant, and extensive, as Mr. SYmoais affirms it to be ; and yet Lord JOIIN RUSSELL, who knows this to be the case, rejects the only remedy that can effectually put a stop to such a demoralizing state of things l He refuses us the protection of the Ballot, for no other reason that we can discover, than because it is precisely that sort of protection of which we most stand in need. We may commend his Lordship's frankness on this point, but we certainly cannot commend his sa gacity. However, he this as it may, the Ballot we want, and the Ballot we must have, or adieu to all hopes of efficient Reform. Mr. SaratoNs's pamphlet is written with clearness and conciseness, and by its practical, apposite arguments is calculated, at a crisis like the present, to do much good. sere . The whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday have been received, but they contain no official news from any quarter. The Duke de NEMOURS is fast recovering from the effects of his fall. The President of the Council, and the Minister of the Interior, have been the only strangers admitted to an interview with his Royal Highness. The conscripts raised by Russia in Poland are to serve in Asia for 22 years. Those who have resisted have been marched in irons I Orders have been giien for the confiscation of all estates hitherto held by Poles, and the disuse of their language in all schools throughout that ill-fated king dom.

We copy from the former some intelligence respecting the cutting down of the forest of Grunenwald, in Luxemburg, by com mand of the King of HOLLAND, which has excited a good deal of attention in Belgium. But as the main fact is doubted, we will offer no comment upon it, be fore receiving further information from authentic sources. It is not probable that the King of HOL LAND would voluntarily embroil his kingdom in a contest, not only with Belgium, but with France and England :-- A letter from Luxembcrg says, " The journey of M. Steffle to the Hague has reference to the felling of timber in the Forest of Grunenwald, which it is intended to execute in the name of the King Grand Duke. The Prussians have received orders, and have already given notice of it to the Belgian Government, to resist any attempt of Belgium to hinder the operation. They are directed, they say, to assist the rights of his Majesty the Grand Duke " In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives to-day (the 11th), M. Metz called the attention of the Chamber to the affair of the Forest of Grunenwald; which he thought it his duty to name to the Government in presence of the Chamber. You know, said he, that the forest of Grunenwald is near the city of Luxemburg. When woods belonging to the domain were ordered to be sold in 1827 and 1828, several lots of that forest were not disposed of, and after the revolution the Bel gian Government took possession of those lots, and had re tained them in reversion. Now the Arlon Journal, received this morning, tells us that the Grand Ducal administration has attempted to take possession of the lots which the Govern. ment possesses, and has declared that the attempt would, in case of need, be supported by the bayonets of the garrison of Luxemburg. The Minister of the Interior declared that the facts stated by the last speaker were correct. "We received," said he, " 'f.se day before yesterday official intimation that a resolution had been taken relative to the forest of Grunen wa!d, whicit is situated r.ithin the rayon or the fortress of Luxemburg. and that in ease of need, the Grand Du cal authority might have the assistance of the military authorities of the torti ess. But the Government has reason to believe that this resolution is not definitive, because it is founded on an error in point of fact. We have lost no time, hut immediately announced our claims, and the proofs that Belgium is in possession of the forest, since the Government has appointed and pays the keepers ; and the Administration of the Grand puchy has not performed a single act relative to the management of the forest since 1830. We think our representations will prevent the execution of a resolution which is founded, as I said, on an error in point of fact, and which would be a direct violation of the treaty of the 21st May, by which the Government has engaged, to France and Great Britain, to preserve the statu quo in the Grand Duchy." Some further discussion followed, in which the Minister of Finance declared that, if the negociation failed, the Government would fulfil its duties in a manner becoming the dignity of the na tion, but he did not think it would come to that extremity ; and it was best not to trouble to no purpose the public tran quillity for such an affair, by giving it more importance than it really deserves.

BIRMINGHAM, DEC. 13. SIR--1 find that our late arrangements respecting the mails contribute so materially to the convenience of business and the comfort of passengers, that I feel desirous they should be more publicly known, and with that view I shall feel obliged by your noticing them in your paper. Instead of the mail bags being forwarded by cart from the nearest point in the London road, as they have been, the three mails (Liverpool, Manchester, and Carlisle) now drive direct to the station, by which arrangement the time formerly lost in transferring the bags, and driving the passengers a mile round to go through the town of Birmingham, is saved, as well as that and the expense of removing the passengers by omnibus. A substantial breakfast is provided in a room at the station at 2s. a head, including waiter ; and whilst the passengers are occupied with the same, an arrangement takes place of the parcels, to enable them to go forward in due course ; and at the proper time all go forward together in the most satisfac tory manner. We had some little opposition at first from par ties interested in the delay of the passengers in the town, but I trust that the evident advantages of the change will induce the proprietors of the night coaches to follow the example of the mails, and let them drive to the station direct, whereby their passengers will he enabled to refresh themselves here, and enter on business at Liverpool and Manchester imme diately on their arrival the morning after they have left London. I am, Sir, your's, respectfully, F. EBORALL. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1837. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY. DEAL, Dec. 13.—Wind N.N.

THE COAL-HOAL TAVERN, STRAND.-This old establised and favourite place of public resort, seems in higher estimation than ever, if ie may judge from the number of visitors of the highest respectability, who nightly meet here for the purpose of enjoying the unrivalled Harmonic meetings. The excellence of the singing, and the manner in which it is conducted, must necessarily place this establishment as the first of the kind in London. The Queen has been graciously pleased to grant to the scholars of the Western Grammar School, Brompton, an extension of their approaching Christmas vacation, in compli ance with a petition presented to her Majesty, signed by ninety-seven of the pupils. The request was grounded upon the circumstance, that the institution is situated in the parish in which her Majesty was born, and in which so many years of her life have been spent. In the absence from town of the Earl of Cadogan, the patron of the institution, the petition was presented to her Majesty by Sir Henry Wheatley. As the Duke de Nemours was coming up the Seine, between Havre and Rouen, a young lion, belonging to his Royal Highness, which was suffered to run about the deck of the Courtier, fell into the river, and as the tide was running very strong, it was feared he would be drowned. The crew made signals to persons on the shore to watch for and take care of the animal, in case of its reaching the shore. Captain Deans Dundas, M.P., has left town for Edinburgh, in consequence of the lamented death of his mother, the sister of the late Lord Amesbury, which event took place in that city on Thursday. Mrs. Deans was in her 83d year. The Hon. Gentleman has, however, taken care that, under these melancholy circumstances, the Liberal party shall not be deprived of the advantage of his vote in the House of Commons, as he has paired off with Mr. Fleming, the Member for South Hants, until after the recess. PRECOCIOUS THROSTLE.—On Sunday last as some men were strolling in the fields at Turton, they perceived a fine throstle fly from beneath a hollin bush, and on going to the spot found a nest containing three eggs, which were quite warm, and in progress of hatching. The nest was left undisturbed, and in a few minutes the men perceived the fea. thered songster again fly into the nest to cherish her progeny. —Bolton Free Press. Within the last eight days no fewer than four at tempts have been made to set fire to the house of William Boyd, weaver, Carrick-street, Ayr. —Glasgow Chronicle. The shoal of garvies (or sprats) in the Frith of Forth is at present so dense, that the fishermen cannot ply their oars without tossing numbers of them in the air at every stroke. On Tuesday night fourteen boats went from New haven, and returned full early yesterday morning. The quan tity taken was so great that they could not find buyers for the whole at any price ; and it a fact that Mr. Dods, farmer, Granton, at the solicitation of one of the fishers, drove off six large cart-loads of garvies yesterday forenoon for manure ; the owner saying that Mr. Dods might give him anything he pleased for them, or take them for nothing. What are the curers doing ? Our grocers sell Yarmouth sprats smoked, or cured red, at 3d. per lb. Can nothing be done in this way with our Frith ones? We understand that our Newhaven friends we so discouraged by their great success, that they have resolved to leave the garvies undisturbed in their native element.—Mcreury. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Tenterden, and Lord Ila warden. SHEEHY V. LORD MUSKERRY. Sir W. FOLLETT commenced his arguments on behalf of the respondent in this appeal, and had not concluded when our reporter left. The appeal was from the 'decision of Lord Plunket, over ruling a judgment of Sir Edward Sugden, when Lord Chan cellor of Ireland. The question on the appeal related to the validity or in validity of certain leases. The Committee of Privileges on the case of Earl Clan carty's claim to ♦ote at the election of the representative Peers of Ireland, was postponed, in consequence of the wit nesses not having been sworn when the House last sat on appeals. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDILE.) Thomas Quin was indicted for feloniously and maliciously stabbing his own son, a lad of about eighteen years of age, with intent to kill and murder him ; and in another count he was charged with assaulting him, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor, John Quin, deposed that he lived with his father, in Drury-court, Drury-lane. On the night of the 15th November he went out and remained out all night, and when he came home next morning between twelve and one, he found the prisoner in a state of intoxication, and very much incensed against him for remaining out. He asked witness where he had been, and he returned him an impertinent answer. The prisoner then made a blow at him, and a scuffle ensued, when the prisoner snatching up a knife with which he had been eat ing his dinner, stabbed him with it in the stomach. He bled profusely, and was confined for three weeks in Charing Cross Hospital from the effects of the wound. To a juror—The prisoner ordered him to quit the room be fore the scuffle took place, but he refused t.) do so. He had been drinking the previous night, but was perfectly sober when the scuffle took place. The daughter of the prisoner, a child about twelve years old, corroborated the particulars of the assault, and on being cross-examined, stated that her brother was exceedingly saucy to the prisoner. Mr. Stephens, the house-surgeon of Charing-cross Hospi tal, deposed that the prosecutor was brought to the hospital on the 16:h of November; he had received a wound in the sto mach from some sharp instrument, and, although small, it was a very dangerous one. He remained three weeks under his care. The prisoner, on being asked if he had anything to say in his defence, stated that he had suffered greatly in mind from the mis conduct of the prosecutor, who had been in prison twice, and had otherwise given him a great deal of trouble and annoyance. The assault was committed under circumstances of great pro vocation, and while in a state of intoxication. No witnesses were called for the defence. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of the assault, but re commenled him to mercy on account of the provocation which he received. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) ROBBERY OF ELEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS. David Gilbert, a gentlemanly-looking man, somewhat ad vanced in years. was indicted for stealing divers promissory notes, Bank of England and Provincial notes, orders for mo ney, and other securities, amounting in value to eleven thou sand pounds, the property of the District Bank of Yorkshire and the Commercial Bank. • Mr. BODKIN was for the prosecution, and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the defence. William Harrison deposed that he resided at Leeds, and that on Sunday, the 26th of November, he acted as guard to the Express coach on the journey up to London, in the place of a person named Howell. He had with him a carpet hag, - which contained two banker's parcels, which he had received from the Yorkshire District Bank, and the Commercial Bank, the first directed to Williams & Co., and the second to Messrs. Jones and Loyd. On arriving at the Bull and Mouth Inn, about eleven o'clock in the fore noon of the day in question, he had occasion to go into the otlice, to look after a parcel belonging to a passenger of the name of Frost, and he laid the carpet bag outside the office door Lr a moment. When he came out he found that the bag was gone, and on looking about him, observed the prioner going out of the yard the back way, with this carpet bag under his arm. He had a Mackintosh cloak covering it; I followed and stopped him, and asked him "what was he doing with the carpet hag, that it was not his property ?" He said that he was engaged by a gentleman, who was waiting in a cab outside, to take the bag to him. Brought him back to the otlice, and he there said that the witness had acted harshly towards him, and that it was a mere mistake on his part. The prisoner was very fashionably dressed, and had a gold chain round his neck. He had quite the appearance of a gentle man. Gave him in charge to a policeman. Several witnesses were examined to prove the value of the property. John Ellis, one of the watchmen employed at the Bull and Mouth, deposed that he observed the prisoner lurking about the yard for several days before the robbery was committed. Mr. C. PHILLIps addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, but called no witnesses. Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up the evidence. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the CommoN SERGEANT and Alderman FAREBROTHER.) Edward Lees was indicted for having, on the 27th Novem. ber last, stolen E3i. yards of gambroon, value 11. 10s., from the shop of Mr. Norton in the Strand, under the following cir cumstances :—The prisoner, on the evening of the day in question, went into the shop and asked for the gambroon, stating that it was for a Mr. Mason, a green-grocer, living in Bell-yard, who supplied Mr. Norton's family with potatoes. The shopman laid it upon the counter, and turning round to book some flannel which the prisoner had asked for under the same pretence, the prisoner took up the gambroon, and was about to go away, when he was stopped by the shopman. Mr. BODKIN appeared for the prosecution. The COMMON SERGEANT was at first inclined to think that the prisoner ought to have been indicted for obtaining good s under false pretences. But when the distinction was pointed out to him by the Learned Counsel who prosecuted, that in this case the prisoner took the property before it had been delivered to him under the pretence which he had made, his Lordship told the Jury that the offence amounted to larceny. The prisoner was found guilty, and as it was evident, there being three other cases of the same kind against him, that he had pursued this system of plunder for sometime, he was sentenced to seven years transportation. The moment the sentence was pronounced, a female in the gallery fainted, fell down, and was carried out insensible. John Davis was indicted for having stolen two pictures from the Swan Tavern, Ilungerford-market. The prisoner went into the Coffee-room, and had a small glass of gin and water, and while the waiter was gone away, he took the arti cles in question. It appeared that he had a wife and two children, and was in great distress at the time. Mr. C. PHILLIPS kindly interested himself on his behalf, and produced evidence to character which was satisfactory. The Jury and the prosecutor recommended him to mercy, and the Common-Sergeant sentenced him to four day's impri sonment (dated from the commencement of the Session), and to be discharged forthwith ; cautioning him, at the same time, not to come there again. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Now, Davis, for God's sake think of your family, and do not let this happen again. The prisoner, who had a most respectable appearance, seemed deeply affected by his situation. Several very juvenile offenders were convicted of larcenies, and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has been appointed Grand Master of the Order of the Bath. The Earl and Countess of Granville, accompanied by Lord Leveson, M. P., and the Hon. F. Leveson Gower, left Devonshire House Tuesday morning, in a suite of three carriages, for Dover, en route to Paris. Lord Leveson, M. P. will remain in Paris until the latter end of January, when the Noble Lord will return to town to attend to his Parliamentary duties. On Tuesday last an accident, which is lilai7 s ro prove fatal, occurred at the mill of Mr. Bearblock, at Horn church. A woman, named Peartree, who was going to the mill, incautiously went too near the sails, one of which struck her and broke. Her clothes were rent, and her head so cut and bruised that her recovery is doubtful.—Essex Mercury. THE WEATHER.—The weather since our last has been generally cold and wet. The late rains have caused the largest overflow in the river Lune that has been known since 1822. The mountain streams of Roeburn, Headburn, and Yenning, poured forth a rapid flood, and the low lands have gained a large deposit of alluvial matter.—Lancaster Guardian. It is related of Miss Richards, a lady once residing at Compton Beauchamp, near Ashdown Park, that such was her attachment to the canine race, especially greyhounds, that on hiring a cook her first question was, .‘ Young woman, do you love dogs?" The answer would, perhaps, be " Yes, my lady, in their proper places." To which this lady would an swer gravely, " If you are disposed to live with me, remember their place in my house is whereever they think fit to go." On Monday evening week, William Jewison, farmer, at Newbald, near Cave, was shot by his son, Robert Jewi son. The ball passed through the neck of the unfortunate man, and knocked the plaster off the opposite wall. He im mediately afterwards made an attempt to shoot his mother, though without success. A constable was sent for, who took him into custody. He seized a second pistol and fired at the constable ; but some one present laid hold of his arm, and the ball missed its aim. It is stated that the son has been for a long time a man of very profligate habits, greatly addicted to liquor ; and has squandered a great part of his father's pro perty. The father was alive on Friday morning, though no hopes arc entertained of his recovery.—Hull Observer. On Friday morning, as one of the Bath coaches was on its way to that city from Bristol, when near Keynsham the coachman lust the command of his horses, in consequence of which the coach was upset, and we regret to state that three of the passengers were very seriously injured ; one of them, Mr. l3owcher, pawnbroker, of Bath, now lies at Keynsham in a very dangerous state. We hear that the regular coachman is ill, and that his substitute is a very inexperieced driver.— Bristol Journal. , • Peeping Joni of Coventry is announced for per formance in the Drury-lane, Covent-garden, and the Hayman ket bills.
