The Privy Council sat again this morning, and was attended by Lord BEXLEY, Mr.W. HORTON, &c. The arguments on the question of the alleged right of slaves to purchase their own Emancipation were resumed, and Mr. DENMAN was heard at great length in reply, and had not concluded when our Reporter left. MIDDLESEN SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. CONST, the Chairman, is so far recovered as to be expected to fill the chair to-morrow morning. Nothing of more interest than a few Irish rows was disposed of this morning. LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) John Gitten was indicted for assaulting George Sumner, on the 14th of November last, at No. 46, Lime-street, in the City. .The prosecutor and the defendant lived in the same house, in Lime-street, and the latter attempt ing to take a lady into his own chamber, the former objected, and attempted to prevent her going up stairs, on the ground of her being an improper chs racteri upon which the defendant immediately knock ed him down. Mr. ADoLPuus, for the defendant, contended that a man who tenants apartments has a right to take what persons chooses, male or female, into them, provided he does not allow them to game, nor drink, nor make a riot, to the annoyance of the other te nants. Cant was now too much the order of the day, and when people talked so much of the .pre servation of morals; the Jury might rely upOn it that it was all stuff. Every one knew what sort of con duct was pursued in the Inns of Court, and it would be a dreadful anathema against them, if the students were to be subject to the strictures and censures of their own servants, as to whom they chose should visit them in their, own chambers. Chastity was certainly a very fine thing; but to use the words of a celebrated writer, Sterne, " if you give it head, it at once becomes a rampant and a roaring lion." The Learned Gentleman then con- 7 tended that the defendant was justified in acting as he had done towards a person who had iinperti neatly interfered in opposing the passage of himself and his friend to his apartment. The RECORDER was of opinion that the prose cutor had no right to prevent the admission of the female, even if she was an improper or loose cha racter, provided he saw no actual indecencies; but, at the same time, if the defendant had used more vio lence than was necessary, in order to remove the obstruction, he was clearly guilty of an assault. The Jury would judge of this,• and give their verdict ac cordingly. The Jury consulted for about five minutes, and returned a verdict of " Guilty." The RECORDER then proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner, in the course of which Mr. ADOL pnus spoke to the prisoner, and received from him an answer. Alderman HUNTER interfered, and said such con duct was improper when the Recorder was speaking. Mr. ADOLPHUS had a right to ask his client a question. Alderman IiuNTER—You have no right to inter rupt the Court; such conduct is improper. Mr. ADOLPIIUS.-I have a right to speak to my client, and I think the observation uncalled for. Alderman HUNTER.-1 repeat it, that the order of the Court must be preserved. Mr. ADoLPitus.—l was not disturbing the order of the Court. The RECORDER.-1 was addressing the prisoner, and you were at the same time salting off his at tention. Mr. ADOLPTIUS—In that case I admit that I have to ask the pardon of the Court. The ItscoßDErc then,proceeded,.andinformed the prisoner ffiat he must pay a fine of 251., and he im prisoned until the fine be paid. Mr. Gitten immediately paid the fine, and quitted the Court. This case closed the Sessions. PUBLIC SALES,-(THIS DAY.) BY MR. D. SMITH, AT THE MART. A very compact Farm, in the cou n ty o f B uc k s , in the parish of Sympson, near Stoney Stratford, was brought to the hammer of the above auctioneer this day ; it was described as tithe-free, without any incumbrances, and adVantageouSly situate near the great Chester and Birmingham road ; the estate comprises, in the most perfect ring fence, about 141 acres of arable, pasture, and wood land, abounding with game, and a large brick-built and tiled farm house, and outbuilding S- This estate, after some competition, was knocked down at 5,3801.

The weather, since our last, has been extremely tempestuous. The gales, in the Channel, have been very severe, two vessels, outward-bound, having returned on Friday, with damage. On Friday night the wind, accom panied by rain, blew with great violence from the west ward : towards morning it increased to a gale ; but abated a little in the course of the forenoon. Throughout Satur day night the wiud blew as fiercely as it had blown on the preceding night ; and the gale continued during the greater part of yesterday. Several vessels, which had sailed early in the preceding week, put back in the morning, having encountered severe gales in the Channel, which rendered it impracticable for them to proceed on their voyages. The Packet-ship Leeds was among the arrivals yesterday, and, we understand, she had considerable difficulty in keeping off during the night, having taken a pilot on board on Satur the day afternoon.

The prisoner was;a blacksmith residing at Stan ' ,1 / 4 m and possessed 'a fame:jackdaw, upon which 'he itifirtshs,6o, s",-,upo4-1/44-41;a0.,Lile. ,favot companion-tit rite compann-of .... ,isure hours. This jack daw oreasiOnally Strayed' - m home; . and having ;1111 5 done so on the day in question, had seated himself upon' a - tree in - a• Village, from which he was knocked Owl* by seine' mischievous passenger, and was pieced:. up by the prosecutor, a poor boy in the parish. The prisoner haying missed his favourite, went in search of it, and came up with the pro secutor just as he had secured his prize. He claimed - it as his own, but the proSeCutor refused to deliver it up, and a scale ensued, which terminated in the destruction of the unhappy jackdaw, which the pro secutor, finding it to be dead, threw in the prisoner's face and ran away. About an hour afterwards the parties met again, when the. prisoner saying, ' " Now I'll teach you to remember my poor jackdaw," laid hold of the prosecutor, and " gave ,him a good leathering.", This was the assault complained of. • The prisoner was found " Guilty," and ordered to pay a fine of 6d., upon payment of which be was discharged. Charles Parker, a lad of 17, was indicted for a highway robbery on John Crane, on the 20th of August, at Hertford. The prosecutor, Crane,•was a limeburner at Ware,. and on the day in question went to Hertford, where lie sold some lime, and received the money for it. In the evening he was drinking in the Crown and Thigtle public-house, where the prisoner also was, and while there he pulled out his watch to ascer tain the time, which the prisoner observed. Ther e was some difference of opinion among the witnesses as to whether Crane was sober when he left the public-house, which was about eleven, and it did not appear very clearly whether the prisoner went away before or' after him.. • Crane had known the prisoner from,a child. When he had got about a mile on his way to Ware, two men rushed out of a hed ge u pon Crane. One knocked him down with a tremendous blow of a bludgeon, then knelt on his stomach, squeezed his throat, and forced a handkerchief into his mouth and over his eyes, and so held him, while the other robbed him of his purse • and his watch.. They then both ran away. Crane got home without his bat, and the next day had the prisoner apprehended. The prisoner did not.sleep at his usual lodgings on the , night in question, and he was seen at five the next morning on the road from Ware to Hertford, and near to the latter plse. Nothing was found upon the prisoner's person, or at his lodgings. The prosecutor, on his cross-exa mination, awore most positively to the prisoner's p r e iso rso: le l. r Guilty—Death. The cath. The Jury, aft er d e lib erat i ng so me time, found the p .The Learned JuDar was perfectly satisfied With the verdict. The prisoner's .life would be spared ; but as 'he had ascertained that, young as he was, only 17, he was an old offender, and the head of a desperate gang that infested the. neighbourhood of Hertford, he must prepare hiinself to leave this coun try, never to return to-it more. . . There was no other case of any interest tried to day. The prisoners in the gaol amount altogether to above 40, among whom are several,charged with rape, with burglary, and with highway robbery. It is thought that it will lie with difficulty th e i r Lord ships will get through the calendar, so as to arrive at Chelmsford on ;Wednesday, in time enough to open the commission there. 111 r. Justice PARK, in the course of his charge to the Grand Jury, .made some strong observations upon the beneficial results likely to arise from the in stitutions lately formed in' the counties of Kent and Surrey, for the reception and -employment of crimi nals on their discharge at the expiration of their terms- of imprisonment; of one of which institutions he announced himself to be a Vice-President, and to the other a subscriber, and his Lordship pointedly sug gested to the Grand Jury the propriety of forming a similar inst4Ution in this County.

SOCIETY OF HIGH CONSTABLES.—Yester day the annual dinner of this ancient and highly respect able society took place at the Royal Hotel...—Edinburgh Mserver of Friday. Last night a novice, who stated himself to he from Leeds, had been, as he said, to see (query, bear) a celdwated vocalist in the new Opera, On leaving the theatre he stepped across the street, and was immediately j o i ne d by one of the sisterhood : after regaling themselves with a quantity of milk punch, the pair adjourned to a house.in j Hart-street ; 'in the morning the youth found him self so/us, and mimes his watch, three twenty-shilling Leeds notes, and a mourning ring. The young man, on finding his loss, summoned the landlady, who in high dudgeon assured him that he must be mistaken, - but should have every satisfaction, and that an officer, if he pleased should be sent for ; in due time, a portly personage made his appearance, attired a la " red-breast," end gave himself out for a liiiiv-street Officer, but who, it is well known, dos not belong to thei or any other police estab lishment, being, in truth, ,1 real " family man." This character said that the gentleman had nothing to do but to go home, but that the affair would not be allowed to pass over ; and, turning 'upon Mrs. P. with a fierce look, - said Ma'am, this Is the second affair within a mouth ; we must look-after you." The youth immediately left his ad dress, begged secrecy, and departed : thus the matter rests, and is likely to rest. It may be, here remarked, that there is a nest of houses in 4 -Tart-street, the proprietors or co praprietors of which , iire also partners in Mother Which's concern, and, on true principles of trade, those ladies who are reckoned "regulars" at .Hart-street, are always well received at the Saloon, whilst a damsel who " carries her own key" is sneered at by the hostess and her menagerie.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. we presented 'ye s t er d ay . , We have littl e to * add t o t he i n f orm a t i on wh i c h Constan tinople. It seems to h ave b een accepte d as rn rata, that the Amb assa d ors had quitted-Constan tinople ; and we observe that some Evening Papers- adopt this conclusion. Now, though it may,eventually turn out that the ofirnbaqadors had quitted their official stations at the tiine,spe cified, yet we must inform our readers, that the intelligence which we conveyed 'on the subject was not decisive. News had, indeed, been re ceived at Frankfort from Vienna,. to the:: erect that the Ambassadors had, by order•of the Su tan, quitted Constantinople ; but then the Ga zette de Fiance, which made known the receipt of this intelligence, added, in a note, that the Ambassadors had not, at the date of the last news, demanded their passports: We fear, how ever, that the foundation of pacific, hopes is in , cessantly impairing by the escape of por tions of intelligence, springing from the above- named source,—namely, the Vienna letter. We learn that the Sultan is making great preparations, and means, as the phrase is, and Rs hiS character imports, "to die hard." The levy-en-masse is decided on in his European states and capital. ,It is perhaps hardly f a i r t o i n t ro d uce a j es t' O n so serious a subject, but hereafter may he applied to the actual condition of .the Turkish capital that famous historico-bombdstical distich, containing only two words in line— " Consteroebantur Constantinopolitani " Innumerabilibus solicititudinibus"— and other States are not without -their,anx*ieties. In ease the war-die be irrevaahly thrOW'n; is Russia to advance, and take possession of the, three principalities; or shall we force the • Dar danelles, and threaten the Turkish- capital . ? — Austria has placed a strong cordon of. troops on her eastern frontier, and would,, .no doubt; be rendered extremely uneasy by the extension of the Russian empire, and its more multiplied points of contact with her own dominions. Yet the war -parts , is powerful in Russia. For our own parts, we still cling to the hope that there will be no just necessity at once to let fall the concentrated force of 'the three great European States now in alliance upon the Sultan of the Mussulmans, unless he proceed to attack us : and how can he attack us? A levy-en-mass. is a feeble instrument for external warfare. We should not be hasty with him. Perhaps his it:- dignation may waste itself in transports of pas sion and tumultuous preparatires ; and then, when breathless and exhausted, he may be dis posed to listen to reason,—the reason of the strongest.-1 i2lle#. It is rumoured in France, or rather fl-cm France, that' Villele no longer expresses him self with his wonted confidence in the security of his Administration. He is said to indicate fear from the issue of the late elections. Some idea may be forined of the odour in which 'M. Pev ronnet is held by, the constituent body of his countrymen, from the _fact of his being defeated in two attempts to obtain a seat in 'the Chamber of Deputies, and that now there seems aothing to be left for him but an appeal to'the electors of Corsica! This man, be it known, is at the very head of that portion of the ultra-Royal interest of France which espouses, or is protected by the Jesuits, and is the individual among the Minis ters who enjoys• most immediately the goad graces of the Court itself,---Ibid. A Cabinet Council is to meet this day, and much will, no doubt depend on the result 0f their, deliberations: - Tor onr - yarts, - we think the posi tion in which our Government is placed is a. very embarrassing_ one. The interference of the Allies has had the effect of encouraging the Greeks to rely -on -their efforts, and to relax in • _their_4;maii 4 -41vod-44. of The-Grand , SeigniO"r - , will, in a great measure,: be signal far their extermination. The Mike, aga in, however weak for distant -enterigizes, are powerful at = home, from their numbers, their fanaticism, and : their bravery. To attack, them at home.would require a large army ; ,and therefore the only ally which could act with effect, or even venture to invade Turkey, is Russia. As far ,as we lire concerned, the is finished; for When we have destroyed the Turkish navy, we have done; our utmost. To land an army capable of maintiining its ground against a hostile population, inured to hardships, 'and, peculiarly adapted for ,guerilla warfare, would be . attended with an expenee which would give the finishing : blow to our • finances. But if the Turks persist in their de termination of war, except reparation- be made, we have no alternative but to accept it, exciv one, which would amount to, passing. sentence et . condemnation on our Navy and the Navies of our Allies, and me cannot therefore, in honour shrink from the consequences. - If we .cannot, therefore, afford aid to Russia, the_ only ally, capable of effecting the invasion,- neither can we oppose that Power ; and we are •:asSurci tbs Austria alone can prevent the occupation of Constantinople by the Russians.--=Mvidia lic Chronicle. _ The mysterious manner in which the pro perty taken from Johnson and Grimaldi was restored, and the statements whichilave appeared on the subject, were yesterday canvassed •at Bow-street.
