". there wa6 reason to believ e that IL! was not k il_ a g i t a l li i r r y t that part of the transaction. t h at deposed that lie is clerk to Sir ;, Or ly rine arid CO. They were agents to Messrs. , f , th e and Co., who issued 51. and lot. notes ,11Q Stratford and several other banks. Th e 10/. N were made payable at Messrs, Glynn find 1 . . Co.'s. Witness had to count - the notes presented for payment, and to sort them out. He marked the number of each on the back of the outside note. ON the 26th of October, 1827, there were paid into the banking-house thirty-seven 10/. notes of the Stratford bank, and thirty-nine 51. notes of the same bank. On the Ist of l\ovemher there were 5341. worth of the prosecutors' notes received. OR the 19th 634/., and on the 20th 1,152/. Amongst these were some 1/. notes, and others were received previously to the amount of 19,500/. Henry Wellington, another clerk of the banking house of Messrs. Glynn, and Co. deposed to receiv ing certain notes produced when paid into the bank on the 20th November. Cross-examined.---The placard issued after the robbery, ,promised to give the numbers of the notes issued in a subsequent bill, but in the subsequent bill no numbers of one pound notes were given. They did not take the number Of the ones because they were not properly payable at their house. Mr. Holloway, another clerk to Messrs. Glynn, _ _ _ and Co. corrobo - rated the testimony of Mr. Pargiter, and described the notes paid into their bank, prior to the 20th of November, which notes he gave to Mr. Greenway. Cross-examined by Mr. LAW.—The notes which were returned by Messrs. Glynn and Co. to the Warwick bank, were so returned for the purpose of being again sent into circulation, and it was the case that notes were thus circulated with Messrs. Glynn and Co's. marks upon them. Re-examined.---No one pound notes in black ink were paid by Messrs. Glynn and Co. after the date of the robbery. Mr. R. Greenway deposed, that he is a partner in the house of Whitehead and Co. On the 21st of , November, he received a' parcel from the clerk of Messrs. Glynn and Co„ it was a blue bag. He was staying at Furniial's Inn Coffee-house, to which place he took the bag. Had taken his place to go to Warwick by that night's mail. Took a parcel, containing sovereigns, out of the hag. In the evening both bags were brought down stairs, and a portmanteau. The porter took the portmanteau a little before eight the coach came to the door. Witness directed the porter to take the bags and put them in the seat of the coach; he did so, and w itness follow e d c l ose to the coach door. A person inside the coach opened the door, and witness directed the porter to get in, and put the bags in the seat. He appeared to raise the bags, and deposit them on the coach floor. At that moment a person from the back part of the coach ran against witness, and when he recovered the shock, he observed the porter putting the bag with the sovereigns into the coach seat. 'Witness observed to him that he had not put the blue bag in the seat. He appeared to search the coach for it, and declared that it was missing. Witness examined the coach, in which there was a woman. Saw next morning a person, who was introduced to him us the person who ran against him, but it was not the pri soner. There was nobody there but the porter and the woman. The bag was missing, and people then collected. Cross-examined.—Witness then took every means to make the circumstance known to the public, and a reward of 200/. was offered. The bills stated no one pound notes, because they had not the numbers of the ones. No other one pound notes of the Strat ford bank were afterwards coined in black ink. There is no mark upon the notes produced which could inform a stranger that they are not notes pro perly in circulation. There are now about 400/. of these black one pOund notes properly in► circulation. There w , s:4'about 12,000/., and since the robbery no one pound black notes have been issued. The Bank has recovered about 19,0001. of the notes stolen, but none of the one pound notes were recovered. Robert Dobson, a book-keeper to Messrs. Water house, knows the prisoner. Is in the habit of chewy ing country notes for persons that he knows, and charges them a shilling in the pound. On the sth July the prisoner brought him five one-pound notes to be changed. Witness told him that he would tell him on the following Tuesday whether he would cash them or not. He called en the Tuesday and witness cashed . them. The two notes produced are two of these which witness cashed for the pri soner. A fortnight afterwards the two notes pro duced were returned to him. On the evening of the 15th .Tuly the prisoner brought ten more IL hates, when witness said if he called on the Thursday following he would be able to cash them. The prisoner said, " If these notes pass all right, I can put you in the way of several more." Witness sent the notes to Glynn and Co., and, in consequence of the answer he there got, he spoke to Gardiner, the police-officer. The witness here identified one of the ten notes, upon which there was an indorsement at the corner. The proprietor of the Bolt in Tun deposed to re ceiving six Stratford-upon-Avon notes from his book keeper (Adams), which he kept in his iron chest until after the examination of the prisoner at Bow street, when he gave them to Gardiner. The notes produced are the same which he received from Adams. Two of these notes were the same number as two of those which had been given loy the clerk of Messrs. Glynn and Co. to Mr. Greenway, on the (lay of the robbery, and which had been subsequently stolen. Richard Gardiner deposed that the six notes pro• duced were those which he bad received from Dob son. Witness searched the prisoner, but found nothing on him. A former conviction of the prisoner for being at large in Greenwich after the sentence of transporta tion had been passed on him, was read, from which it appeared that he was sentenced to transportation at Hertford, and on being subsequently found at large, he was convicted at Maidstone, and sentenced to death, but received his Majesty's pardon, on con dition that he should be transported for life to New South Wales. The prisoner, in his defence, merely protested his innocence. Mr. Justice GAZELEE charged the Jury at con tiderable length, who returned a verdict of" Guilty." DOVER, SEPT. .12.—Mr. GREEN and Mr. PEARNE, who ascended in the balloon from this place on Wednesday, landed safely in a field between Knowlton, the seat of G. H. D'Arrx, Esq., and Hamden, the seat of 11. W. HARVEY, Esq., near Eastry. The wind was propel ling the balloon rapidly towards the sea, and the aeronauts found it necessary to lower themselves earlier than they had intended. They returned to Dover late in the evening and Mr. GREEN still remains here anxiously looking out for a good opportunity to cross to France.

A violent storm of rain, accompanied with rem•irkably loud thunder and vivid lightning, passed over a large district of country around Stamford on Tuesday morning, about four o'clock. A tire-ball fell in beeping Fen, and se t fi re to a corn-stac k , b ut t h e rain s p ee dily ex tinguished it. Three stacks of wheat belonging to a farmer in Postland, were entirely consumed, which, we are sorry to say, were uninsured. Weston church, near Spalding, was also injured ; and at Coats, near Whit.le sea, upwards of eighty lives were lost !—but they were those of sparrows, which had taken roost upon a tree for the night, and %vele there struck dead by the livlitning.— .50711prd ;Veit% MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY. Elizabeth Richards was indicted for passing a base shilling on the 29th of July, and a counterfeit sixpence en the following day. It appeared from the evidence of a Police patrol, named Sleigh (as we understood it) that he saw the prisoner, with whose character he w as we ll ac quainted, going into several shops; he followed her into one shop, and ascertained that she bad passed a bad shilling. She then went into another shop, where she endeavoured to pass a shilling; but the woman to whom she offered it ridiculed the at tempt to deceive her, observing, that if it were dark she would know the quality of a coin by its feel.-- Whilst the officer was inquiring into the prisoner's success at this last shod, she made her escape, but was taken into custody next day, by another officer, in the attempt to pass a bad sixpence. The CHAIRMAN asked Sleigh, the police patrol, why he did not arrest the prisoner when he ascer tained that she had passed one counterfeit shilling, instead of giving her the opportunity of committing another crime. Sleigh hesitated, and, after a pause, said, ". Why, I thought to tnake out a case against her." The CHAIRMAN—You know that she had passed a bad shilling; was not that a sufficient case ? It was your duty to take her into custody. I don't un. derstand this system of allowing persons to go at large for the purpose of enticing them to be guilty of another offence. This is not the way to prevent crime. I don't mean to blame you, but let me not hear of such a thing again. The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, reprobated the conduct of police officers, who suffered parties to go at large after they had been ascertained to have committed a crime. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and to find the usual sureties. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) FISH-MARKET, 'BILLINGSGATE.

The coal trade is rather flat at this season of the year. Although the public works are consuming as much fuel as at the briskest period of trade, yet such is the increase of coal proprietors, and so much has the aug mentation of mines added to the ordinary out-put, since the crisis of the combination, as well as several pits at present shanking, that it has been found inadvisable to sus tain the late advance in price of coal, attempted by the sale proprietors. Prices have now receded on the hills to ss. 6d. a waggon for the best soft coal, and Os. 10d. for the best hard coal, deliverable in town at the respective rates of Bs. 6d. and 9s. dd. of 24 cwt._ Glasgow Chron. Dr. GR AN v ILL E, in his Travels to St. Peters• burgh, a book which contains a great deal of useful infor mation very pleasantly expressed, notwithstanding an occa- I sional dash of affectation, give the following account of a• dinner at Torma :—" For our dinner, consisting of a va• riety of dishes, and including two bottles of wine, one of which was excellent Bordeaux, and the dinner fur four servants, the price charged amounted only to ten paper rubles, or little more than nine shillings. Count WORMY.- zow imagined the landlord had made a mistake in his de mand, and insisted that the charge was too little to be correct. Upon this the landlord, who had not made out a regular bill, but had asked the above sum off-hand, ob served, that he might perhaps have omitted to bring the bottle of Bordeaux into his calculation, and begged, there fore, to add two francs more for that to the reckoning. Fancy now, gentle reader, a Nobleman and his Lady, with their suite, preceded by an avant-courrier, and followed by four servants, arriving in three carriages at an inn any where on the road to London, and being there entertained as sumptuously as we were at Tonna, in On o o f the f orests of Livonia, and 300 v ers t s f rom the ; "Ha , and think with dismay at the long slip of paper headed The King's Arms,' or The Itose,' which would be presented by honest Boniface with his best bow, and in whirls the charge of one item alone, the solitary bottle of claret, would be found to equal the whole rukorlinfs of our repast is Livonia." Viscount MELVILLE arrived in town last night from Edinburgh.

D. WILLIAMS, who, with a large party of ladies, left Weston, in, an open boat, e ar ly on T ues d ay morn i ng for Llandaff, whither our respected Diocesan went, for the purpose of vi siting the Lord Bishop of that place.

ACCIDENT TO MADEMOISELLE SONTAG. —Yesterday afternoon, as Mademoiselle SONTAG descend ed the stairs of the Hotel de l'Europe, she had a severe fall, in consequence of treading on a peach stone. The young cantatrice rolled down ten steps, and was taken up after having had her knee dreadfully crushed between two of the iron balusters. Dr. KOREFF was immediately sent for, and lavished his cares on his interesting patient, whose state is not alarming, but who will be probably kept away from the stage too long for the admirers of her talents.— Ga zette de France. - The Shooting Season, which commenced on Monday sennight, created but little interest in comparison with preceding years. This we attribute to the rumour, which was generally spread, of there being a scarcity of game. With respect to the immediate neighbourhood of Newbury, the report was strictly correct, there not having b ee n one-tenth the number of birds bagged the first week this month, as were bagged during the corresponding week of September 1827. Better sport was experienced north and north-west of Newbury, particularly in the Vale ; good shots have killed their ten and twelve brace.—Berhs Chronicle. This summ er a swallow built her nest at the mouth of a eoalpit at Grasstnoor, near Chesterfield, and has hatched and brought forth young ones twice, although there were men at work in the pit, and the banksman and others close to it, still the swallow is not the least intimi dated, hut goes to the nest whenever it pleases. —Notting bait, iI?“4(3C, FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

G reen R. Manning PROGREss or TASTE IN THE FINE ARTS. —.k manufacturer of transparent window blinds, a t t h e Surrey side of the bridges, has just exhibited a new pattern of this article, in which is displayed, with all the proper contingencies to render it duly horrible, a representation of the Pe!stead Murder. How agreeably exciting must suck blinds prove to a drawing-room company iu the country, on a mater's eYeuini! SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. An importance—greater perhaps than reason would justify—has been ascribed to the intelli gence which is said to have come from Lord Heytesbury through Vienna, that his Lordship has received from the Emperor Nicholas and from Count Nesselrode " the most satisfactory assurances" relative to the objects of the war against Turkey. His Imperial Majesty is said to have confirmed in person to Lord Heytesbiiry r th igi e i written declar a tio n o f hi s Mi n i s t er f ur Fo e grantedAfrairs ebe e nconquestsa fforded from the the Tu ß rk ri s t . ish W A e m t b a a k s e for _ that hat a s t he h ome further It ; e r n o intention „ satisfaction" slmnadia'kositrn! igay or the Nobleiror d edto Lord would scarcely have put the country to the expense of a courier conveyingex traordinarynoiffesto published home b a v p fb e r r e o r his oi' for th e purpomsea it t r u o s o s j p a s h c a r a os setl i th n hi e se r e D e a x n t i r i ab Imperial c e t . m. f r a j o r m he set yE t h hm e e pro claimed all along that this was a defensive war— a war provoked by Ottoman injustice,._ war for security—and a war for indemnity —and any and every sort of war, save only a war for conquest. Had his Imperial Majesty made any other re ply to Lord Heytesbury's demands of explana tion but one corroborative of his earlier profes sions, he would have committed a gross, and, what is worse, a premature inconsistency, and to that extent, in a statesman, an unpardonable folly. If- the imperial Government of Russia were capable of harbouring airy ambitious views, as people have sometimes accused it of enter taining, with regard to Turkey, it is tolerably certain that those designs would not be avowed at the very moment which would render the avowal or them most unfavourable to their com pletion. The existence, then, of that alarm in the mind of the King's Ministers, on the subject of Russian aggrandizement, to which Lord Heytesbury's mission is ge nera lly i mpute d , would suppose the British Cabinet to be the greatest fools imaginable, if they were to rest satisfied with a mere repetition of phrases which had already been employed by Russia, but which had not, when so employed, alleviated their fears, or superseded the necessity of the mission. There appears much address in the language of the Russian Government, when considered in con nexion with the scale of its operations, and with the nature of its undisguised requisitions. "We must have pecuniary indemnity for our ex penses,—we must have a solid security for our free use of the channel on which Constantinople stands, but we do not desire to make con- _ quests." Such is the " assurance ;" but what is the fact ? She insists on an indemnity for the costs of a war for which she has put 300,000 men in actual march upon the Turkish territory, and with a portion of which immense array site ep3rinshweelap-laleililmaking up their carries on a number of difficult sieges --the most wasteful of all military labours. Can Turkey pay, in money or moveables, one half the ex pense of such a war ? Then Russia calls for a positive guarantee—that is to which Turkey can have no control—for the free say, d of the tOhlei s e e cßto:n' Bos phorus, p navigation itorus th e o f a e the o narrowof m arm p o a r ss a , ag a e n narrow passage of the Dardanelles. This gua rantee cannot, of course, be a mere written compact with Turkey, for that had long since, as Russia tells us, failed ; nor can a guarantee well consist of money or any other " moveables." The casuistry, then, of the matter may lay here : conquest is not the first " object" of the war; but, fail ing the " indemnity" and " security" - which are professed to be so, a transfer of provinces, fortresses, or positions, is demanded, and an in crease of dominion—that is to say," conquest," takes place as an alternative, though it be dis claimed as a motive. How is England the het.; ter for this ? or Europe ? And if nothing more be gained by Lord Heytesbury than words sus ceptible of so easy an evasion, why M. Metter nich will tell his pupil, Lord Aberdeen, that he might as well have sent Lord Heytesbury to Brazil, where there is a constitutional charter to be dealt with, and have reserved for Lord Vis count Strangford the illustrious office of medi ating between the Sultan and the Russian Em peror, to the first of whom his principles of go vernment are so congenial; and by the second of whom his person is so esteemed. Should, indeed, the Grand Seignor and his Harem be compelled, by the approach of Nicholas, to get on board ship, and escape by sea, it may make little difference to Lord Strangford whether lie be at Constantinople or at Rio, since in either case to his Lordship will belong the praise of having - advised it.— Times. An evening - contemporary, swadthetohmeapnmstieebniitiest anxious, like ourselves, to hold up to reproba tiaiocnotuhrets of J us ti c abominable e, ait of instance f ee Middlesex Sessions of a person being detained in custody for fees demanded from him after his . acquittal ; and that after an - ineffectual appeal to the Court, which replied, as usual, that it had no authority to interfere.

That the persons presiding in tile courts II shou t have no controul over these demand s is, if any were wanting, an adtlitioual reason against them ; and appears to Ils, We must confess, to be carried to an extent which leads us very much to doubt its solidity. That the officers of the Courts are the servants of the Courts cannot be doubted ; and that the servant shall have a demand upon the visitor or the customer, quite independent of the know ledge, controul, or participation of the master, reminds one of nothing more nearly than the old system of.vails, which were claimed and expected as a right, till the better sense of modern times put an end to that system, as, we trust, it will soon do to the others.— Morning Herald.
