The Courtyard, aq other occasi,►ns crowded by witnesses, is kept ti q'ted, and admission to the Court can only be OYtained through the iron gates usually devoted to accommodation of the Judges and Officers (if Me Court. The prisoners yesterday watched, with the most littense solicitude, the evidence of At4ams, (who l'as the only witness examined, and whom our teaders' may remember to have been taken into elustotly on the Friday snbsvgitent to the Meet- Itig iu CaAo•street, from 4hich he contrived to es "Pe )—After Adams's examination was conclud ", Thistlewood turned round, and spoke to his tHursattions in a hurried and agitated tone. The ‘!hole of the prisoners were then taken back to ttieir wards, where proper refreshments were pro tided fOr them. l'itrt of the evidence of Adams was teso horrible a character as to excite a universal shudder throughout the audience. Adams is himself it man of'ill-favoured countenance : his eyes are and piercing, and he squints.Wherkdirected to liifrptoaell - the yawners, to identify them, he did so with the strongest marks of fear. Some of the prisoners fixed their ,eyes npon him with ama- Ugnant expression, but they did not evince any • 1141 Prise at the details which he was giving to the -C9tirt. Da%idson repeatedly laughed. All letters sent to Thistlewood are :opened by iqr• Brown, the Governor. Two wed yesterday trot by post . , directed to him, and delivered in Court. They were, we understand, of a most ex trsordinary description, and Mr. Brown, on read ..irtg their' contents, felt it his rluty, immediately is inclose them in a sheet of paper and forward t4tu across the Court to Mr. Maule, the Solici *of the Treasury, who laid them before the Attorney -General. . At 9 the Judges entered the Court, preceded, as 11*ual, by the Senior Sheriff, Mr. Aidertmin Roth- . *ell,/ and Mr. Under-Sheriff Turner, whose polite "tensions to all whose professional avocations 011 them to the Court, secure the approbation 111 the Learned Judges, and the esteem of every litae with whom they have communication. The Attorney-General , the Solicitor-General, 'And the other Counsel for the prosecution, pre ceded the Learned Commissioners, and the Coon :lel for I , he prisoners were also in Court before mine o'clock. The Jury were called over at ten minutes after nine, and the prisoners were then conducted into Court and placed at the bar. Thistlewood came arst. His appearance was rather improved. The other prisoners took their stations behind Thistle. wood in the back part of the dock. Thistlewood applied, on his entering the Court, ;for a seat ; and his request was immediately com tried with. Davidson made a similar regnest, stating that he was rendered extremely unwell yesterday, by `baying bad to stand so many hours. The Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT—They may ling one or two more chairs then, and you can ttlieve each other. The Court by no means with pu should stand there all day. Other chairs were now placed in the dock. The trial was then resu►sced. The first witness called this morning was Elea tor Walker, spinster, residing at No. 4, Fox to►trt, Gray's-inn-lane, in the county of Middle- tlx, servant to Henry Rogers, in whose house grunt lodged. She was examined by Mr. Gur- Dey, in part confirmation of Adams's evidence, Bien yesterday. The prisoner's Counsel did not deem it neces *try to cross-examine this witness. Mrs. Rogers, the mistress of the last witness, Ras next examined. She was not cross-examined. Joseph Hall, apprentice to Brunt, was next called, to prove what had passed at stveral con .ferences between the prisoners. This witness was cross-examined by ?Jr. Adol- Thomas Smart, a watchman of St. George's, , 4 nover-square, was examined by Mr. Little to prove that his watch.box was opposite ''▪ '' )1 11 - Lirrowby's house.

The First Anniversary Dinner of this excellent Society took place yesterday at Freemasons"fa vetn. \VILLIAM LEAR 3, Esq., late M.l'. for St. Michael's, Ctowvall, was in the Chair.—About seventy Members attended. As soon as the cloth vas removed, Nett nobis Domine was sung by some Professional Musicians, whose names we did not hear. The Chairman then gave the several Toasts in the following order : " The King," with three times three—" The Royal Ft.- mily"—" The Navy and Army—" The Metropolitan Law Society."—" The Lord Chancellor"—" The Twelve Judges" —" The Master of the Rolls"—" The Vice-Chancellor."-- Mr. ArcrxesoN proposed, " The Chairman."—(All of these toasts were drank with three times three.) The CHAIRMAN, in returning his thanks for the warmth with which his health had been drank by the Company, briefly stated the purpose of the Institution, viz. to prevent the intrusion of Per sons into she Profession who had not been trained to it by a regular education, thereby to clear it of all unqualified pretenders and needy adven turers, anti consequently to remove that pre judice against the profession which had been principally occasioned by such ignorant, presump tuous, and tmskillnl practitioners. The Chair man added, however, that it was not intended to have a retroactive effect, and to disturb those who by long practice and respectability of con duct had acquired repntation. After a few more observ4tions as to - the utility of the measure, ex- pressed witircandour and animation, he proceeded to give other toasts analogous to the subject. Among the other toasts, " Mr. ANDERTOIW, the Founder of the Institution," was proposed by Mr. ATCHESON, the• Founder of the PITT CLUB, and received with great applause. Mr. AsnewroN,the Secretary, tben arose to testify his thanks on the occasion, and entered into a brief narrative of his motives for having proposed the establishment of such .8 Society.-- He stated that he lived at KIMBOLTON, and was unconnected with the Metropolis, but, reflecting on the mischiefs which resulted, from the itnru , ion of ignorant men into the profession for which he had been educated, and the im portant benefi•s which the community would derive from ,the exclusion 'of such men, who joined humble callings with their practice as certi-, , ficated Conveyancers, he bad deemed it his ditty ,to attempt to remove the evil, and for that pos.- came to London. He said, that ninon ti,ced as he was, be found encouragement among Gentlemen who were alive to the honour of their profession, and readily aided his efforts on the occasion. After the intervention of songs from the Gentlemen who sung Non'nobis Domine, and Messrs. Hawes and EvAtis, who highly gra tified t h e co mpany by some duets admirably given, Mr. ANDERTON again addressed the Com pany, in order to state the zealous mauler in which THE SUN Newspaper had taken up the object or the Bill which bad been prepared, and observed, that the Proprietor of that Paper and se veral exceihnt Correspondents had written so many articles on the subject, as to excite the general attention of the profession, insomuch that in his opinion THE SUN might be properly styled c• THE LAWYER'S PAPER,"' for that Journal alone had taken up the cause, and had supported it with resolute perseverance. The Chairman then proposed the health of '' the Proprietor or To a. Soo, and suce-ss to his Paper," with three times tillee, recommending it earnestly to the pa tronage of the. Company anti the Profevtion.— This !oast was received with liberal aliplause, and the Proprietor, who was present, briefly returned iris 'honks. finiong the toasts, the health of " CHARLES BICKNELL, Esq." was given with three tunes three, and received with zealous approbation. The saute applause attended that at NATHANIEL ATCHEsoN. Esq., and of Joint TomLuesoN, Esq. of Ciiiiiiie, neat Neweactle-under-Line, an early and zealous promoter 'it the object of the insti tution We never on any occasion saw the honours of THE CHAIR more ably discharged than by WILLIAM LEAKS, Esq., or witnessed a more gratifying meeting. The object of the institution is Cer tainly one of the highest importance to th e com munity at large, in waiters relating Lo the transfer and security of property, On which the happiness of the people in generai essentially depends.

MUGU roN, APRIL 16. 'l'll F. KING. The health of our beloved SOVEREIGN continues' good. His Majesty yesterday, from about an hour after noon, was on horseback until nearly six o'clock in the evening. His Majesty was accom panied by Sir B. Bloomfield, and followed by one servant only. The rouse chosen was the Downs westward; the romantic prospects from the Devil's Dyke, and its pure and salubrious atmos• phere, commonly obtain for it, with the King. a decided preference. We have seldom seen his Majesty look more cheerful, and altogether bet ter, than on this occasion. The most affectionate salutations met him ; the people rejoiced at be holding him ; his presence seemed to diffuse, one universal feeling of gladuess. His Majesty had returned to the Palace but a few whiffles when the Duke of York arrived, with whom he took dinner, touch refreshed by his exercise, and witi an ex cellent appetite. In the evening, the Earl and Countess of Mexborough, Eat I and Countess of Warwick, and a select party of Nobility, joined the Royal Suite, when music becaMe the - leading feature of the entertainment. Divine Service, itt the presence of his Majesty, the Commander in Chief, and Royal Suite, was pet forened:at the Palace this morning, by the De puty Clerk of the ClOser. 1 .1' 1 6.

PIRATES:—The following is an extract of a let ter ft out Bombay, dated the 10th of November : " The depredations committed by the pirates in the Persian Gulph are of the most daring de scription ; they respect no flag ; but they have received a check, which will make them more cautious in future. His Majesty's brig Curd lew arrived here a few days ago, after haring had a brush with those marauders. On com ing. through the Gul ph she was attacked by no less than 15 large armed boats, baying on board about 160 men each. They hoisted the bloody flag and commenced the engagement in the most de tertnioed manner. The Captain of .the brig gave them a taste of grape, and it was hard fighting for five boors, when they began to sheer off; however, he succeeded in capturing seven ; three were sunk, and the rest escaped.'. One expeditiou has sailed from hence against them, • and another is now fitting out, tVe...bave at present lyit g here the Bombay Merchant, Sarah, Swallow, Orion, Thames, and, Regent.
