MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 14. BURNHAM PARISH APPELLANT MARYLEBONE RE SPONDENT. This was an appeal from au order of Justices made upon the appellant parish for the maintenance of an illegitimate child. The circumstances under which the case was contested were lather singular. The mother of the child, a single woman, had been located for some time at Haddington, in this county, but was compelled to remove by the parish-officers, who, with their usual lynx-eyed caution, perceived some symptoms which threatened to make her a bttrden to the parish. She had obtained settlement in the respondent parish; and, in obedience to the injunc tions of the beadle of Haddington, prepared to bend her steps that way, in order to saddle it also with the support of her child. She walked a short way upon the road, but feeling fatigued, she was helped into a waggon, and, being seized with illness, even inally gave birth to a child there. This circumstance, which had already had its inception in Haddington, was completed in Burnham, with all the circum stances which were necessary in the eye of the law to give the mother a claim upon the parish where it took place. The question was then, upon what parish the child was chargeable, the mother being only on her way to a parish where she bad un doubted settlement, when the birth took place by the ways The Magistrate thought that the parish of Burnham was responsible, and made the order accordingly. The Coutrr, taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, affirmed the order of the Ma gistrate, thus making the parish of Burnham where the birth actually took place, chargeable. Tht Commissioners of' Woods and Forests Lave announced, in the usual manner, by affixing a notice In the County Hail of Middlesex, their intention of ap plying to Parliament; in the course of the ensuing Session, foe a Bill abolishing the present market for the sale of hay, straw, Ste., which is held twice a week in that well--known street the Haymarket, and substituting, instead, markets in one or all of the undermentioned open pieces of ground, or squares, situate in the parish of St. Pancras— viz. Yoik, Cumberland, and Clarence-squares: the new market or markets to he for the sale of hay and straw, butchers' meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables. It is pro posed that power shall be given to the trustees under the Act to erect the necessary buildings, and levy tolls on the goods brought into the market for sale. Notice has been given of an intended application to Parlia ment foe a Bill for making and maintaining an .aqueduct, with feeders, tunnels, pipes, reservoirs, sluices, bridges, eftgines, &c., for the conveyance of pure water to or near the metropolis, from divers springs situate in the parishes of Wimbledon, Kingston, Roehampton, Richmond, Mort lake, East Sheen, Barnes, Putney, Wandsworth, Clapham, Battersea, and Lambeth, upon or near to the line of the said acreduct. The French newspapers continue to exhibit various statements of the intensity of the cold, particularly in the southern part of the kingdom. At Bordeaux con siderable damage has been done to the shipping, the float ing blocks of ire in the Garonne having cut the cables of several vessels, which were afterwards driven by the tide against the arches of the magnificent bridge, lately erected over that river. The canal of Languedoc, or, as it is commonly called in France, la Canal des Deux Mers, is frozen over ; while in ail directions stage-coaches and con tient are delayed by the frost and snow. At Avignon, in former times the residence of the Papal Court, and of which the summer temperature is almost as warm as that of Rome, the cold after Christmas-day became very in tense ; more to, it is said, than in almost any winter during the last 40 years. The Rhone, the Durance, and other rivers, arc frozen, and apprehensions are entertained lest the olive-trees should perish from cold as they did in the severe winter of 11319-20. Since Christmas-day last, we are informed, the house of Ole Mendicity Society, ie Red Lion-square, has been literally besieged by distressed, and in most instances wretchedly miserable objects, soliciting assistance. Nearly 1,200 perscns, exclusive of their families, have presented themselves, to whom nearly 3,000 meals have been given, each meal consisting of a pint of soup, and the sixth of a 41h. loaf, bes:des to ♦ery many clothing, blankets, and money. We hope that the charitable and humane will enable the Society to continue its benevolent exertions (luring this inclement season. The funds, we understand, are rather low, and their stock of clothing nearly exhausted. An astonishing proof of the extreme depression r f agriculture occurred at a sale near Boston, last week. Seven tens of bay, to be consumed en the premises, sold for IL 15s. ; and, stranger still, three tons sold for one shilling ! Nine acres of wheat sold for 3/. 55., and nine acres of oats for five ! It is proper to remark, however, that the latter were exceedingly damaged by tile dreadful storm of July last. By a statistical table of the amount of crime brought to trial in Austria during the years 1819, 20, 21, 22, and 23, we ►earn that in some of the provinces great offences were on the increase, but that in most of them they had diminished, and that, as compared with the population, the proportion was extremely different in different districts. The number of homicides enumerated in the table stands as follows :—For Lower Austria, in 1819, 12 ; in 1823, 56 ; out of a population of 1,963,000. For the Governments of Gratz, Laybach, and Trieste, in 1819, 91 ; in 182:3, 37 ; cut of a pupa- Winn of 1,960,000. For Bohemia, in 1819, 74 ; in 1523, 63; out of a population of 3,387,000. For Mo ravia and Silesia, in 1819, 63; in 1823, 26 ; out of a population of 1,907,000. For Gallieia, in 1819, 160 ; in 1829, 121 ; out of a population of 4,140,000. For the Tyrol, in 1819, 37 ; in 1823, 21 ; out of a popula tion of 751,000. For Dalmatia, in 1319, 92 ; in 1823, 179; out of a population of 313,000. The diminution has taken place in the list of other crimes. In all cases the barbarous province of Dalmatia stands pre-eminent in all kinds Of crime proportionally to its population. Its trials for robbery were 489, for burning 260, and for wounding and maiming 304, in the year 1823. POISONOUS PROPERTIES OF THE NIGHT SHADE.-Every part of the Atropa Belladona, or Deadly Nightshade, has proved a malignant poison. Some one or other of our senses is in general, most providentially for us, made the herald of approaching danger ; hut with the poisonous fruit of this plant it is not so. The berries bear an attractive appearance, and to the smell and taste they are in no degree repugnant. In consequence of these • circumstances, children have very frequently fallen ♦ictims to their deleterious effects, and the plant should be known, that it may he wholly eradicated from exposed situations. The Belladona is supposed to have been the plant which the Roman soldiers, urged by hunger, ate in the Parthian war. PLUTARCH tells us, that on this occasion it pro duced loss of the memory and senses ; and that the unfor tunate victims to it were prone to move every stone that they met with, as though in some important pursuit : till ultimately the poison subdued their -strength, and they died. Bucarmr_al: also relates, that the Scots mixed the juice of this plant with the food which they supplied to • the Danes, their invaders. It had an intoxicating effect, and the Scots became their destroyers.—Maund's Bo tanic Garden. In a late number of the French Moniteur we find the following curious details relative to the Post-office in Paris " The Director-Gener,ll of the Post-office has favoured us with the following particulars on the distribution of letters in Paris during the year 1829:-- " Number of letters received at Paris limn the departments " Number of letters for Paris thrown into the Paris boxes (answering to the London Two penny-post) " Number of printed papers of all kinds dis tributed in Paris " Number of lett ers charged 54,340 " Number of letters recommended " Number of letters addressed to Paris by mis take and which have been forwarded to the departments " Number of unsealed letters arrived at Peri*, of which 481 contained bills of exchange or bank-notes, to the amount of 1,330,216 f. 70c. " Number of letters arrived at Paris, not hay- ing any address on them at all, which have been opened to be returned to the persons who sent them, and of which several con tained bills of exchange and bank-notes to the amount of 205,806 f. 75c gg This statement shows that the Post—office business has been particularly active during the last year. It is im possible not to feel surprise at the singular negligence of those those who have transmitted same to so large an amount in unsealed letters, but particularly of those who have sent their letters with enclosures of mon .y with iut any a !dress upon them whatever DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK. rmcits or STOCKS Tali fink V - csck 213 3 per Cent.

A deputation of the London Bridge Com mittee had a long interview with the Duke of WELLINGTON this morning in Downing-street. It appears by our City Report that Mr. ROTHSCHILD has been declared the contractor for the French Loan of eighty 'nations francs, The price is said to he 10.51. Dutch Papers of the 13th instant have been received this morning. It appears that the King of the NETHERLANDS has visited his displea sure upon several of the Members of the States- General, by a dismissal from their respective offices. This is, we presume, in consequence of their resistance to the Budget ; but we think his MAJESTY is not likely to increase his influence by such exercise of authority. If the KING expects to conquer the good-will of the States-General by making a sacrifice of some Members, in order to overawe the others, he is much mistaken. Nor will he in duce them to vote unconstitutional supplies by holding a threat of dismissal over the heads of those who may hold office. A reaction will as suredly take place, which his MAJESTY may find it wiser to prevent by conciliatory measures than to precipate by harsh and vindictive conduct. The situation of the Dutch at this moment is anything but enviable : HAGUE, JAN. 10. His Excellency M. de la Costa took, on the 4th nst., the usual oath to his Majesty, on his appoint ment to the office of Minister of the Interior. M. Von Cromburghe, burgomaster of the city of Ghent, has declined the post of Cove; nor of the pro vince of Antwerp. Mr. Hughes, Charg6 d'Affaires of the United States et our Court, is appointed by his Government Minister Plenipotentiary of tl:e republic of Mexico. M. Preblef, who lately arrived in London, is appointed in his room Ambassador to the Netherlands. The Bishop of Ghent has addressed a circular to the Clergy of his diocese announcing the opening of his seminary, and stating the plan of study which he intends to establish in it. The Journal of Namur (Le Narnurnis), says that the celebrated Royal Message has been publicly read in the usual manner in several parishes round the capital of the province; that it was listened to with the greatest attention, and received with cries of " Long live the King !—Long live our beloved Mo narch !" _ _ ..... The moral effect (says the Journal) which this important document has produced in all parts of this province is undeniable, and affords the best proof of the spirit that prevails among the people. HAGUE, JAM. 12. The Court has gone into mourning for three weeks for the Archduchess Charlotte of Austria, who was a Princess of Nassau Weildunig. Last Saturday a Council of Ministers was held, which sat a very long time. We hear that the Baron de la Faille d'Huyeen, Messrs. de ht VieHenze, Luyben, Ingenbous, and de Bourier, all Members of the Second Chamber of the States General, are dismissed from their re spective offices; the first as Chamberlain to his Ma jesty, the second, third, and fourth, as District Com missaries at BrusselS Bowel, and Breda; and the fifth, as Mayor of tl?e Marechausse. It is also re ported that the provision of 1,800 florins, which M. de Stassart has hitherto enjoyed as an old Pre fect, has been withdrawn. The Hamburg Reporter, and other Hamburg Papers, of the Bth inst., have been received, but their contents are unimportant. The Sound was frozen over at the end of December so com pletely, that sledges came from the Continent to Copenhagen ; COPENHAGEN, DEC. 28. The Sound is so completely frozen over that sledges come over from Landbcrona. INSPRUCK, DEC. 22. We have lately read, with much surprise, several articles in foreign journals, that speak of interrup tions of the public tranquillity in this country ; as it is indisputable that nothing of the kind is to be found in any part of the Tyrol, that the most per fect tranquillity prevails, and that there is no motive whatever for the contrary, The accounts in ques tion must have been written with some evil intention. STOCKHOLM, DEC. 29. It is reported that the Crown Prince will go to Norway before the opening of the Storthing. It is affirmed, with same confidence, that the Diet will be closed about the middle or hater end of next month. A great number of the Members of the Estates have gone home during the Christmas holidays. HAMBURG, JAN. 8. Our Corn Market has had another week of almost total inactivity, business having been exclusively confined to the purchase of a few lots of wheat and rye for home consumption. _ _ • Not a single cargo of corn passed through the Sound during the last 11 days of December.

Dr. BROWNE, the late en terprising Editor of the Caledonian Mercury, is to be its conductor. This gentleman's varied talents and consummate ability in the manage ment of a public Journal must render any recom mendation of ours unnecessary. We merely invite the public attention to the circum stance of an old and successful rival for general favour, being about to challenge a continuance of it on his own account. We wish well to the Edinburgh Press, which is conducted with much spirit and intelligence ; and in calling public attention to Dr. BROW NE's merits, we do no more than we should be glad to do for any of his Contemporaries similarly situated. Spirited and generous emulation always benefits the public, and though the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, yet the presumption is that they who do their best, have the best chance. 8,055 7,478 TIM FUNDS.-(THIS DAT.)

Up to the present hour the Contractor fur the French Loan is not known. he French Papers and prices of Tuesday have been re ceived, but to the great surprise of our City speculators and jobbers the above arrival has not brought the account who has been the contractor of the French Loan ; but it is suspected that private advice has been received this morning with the result, and whicla is kept a pro found secret as yet. Report says that Baring and his party have got it. Consols, which left off yesterday at 951 sellers, opened at 95 buyers. since which they have taken a start, owing to a good deal of Money Stock being purchased by some leading brokers, and Consols may be quoted at present at 95i for the Acconnt, and for next time 95j- 96. Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro of the 15th November. The Stock there has got up 21 per cent., and the Exchange has fallen per cent. ; this is a demonstration that no loan has been contracted for.

A few days since a fine swan, weighing 151b5., was served up at the mess of the 96th Regiment, by Mr. RENDLE, and its flesh was pronounced by many to be most delicious. Not having partaken ourselves of this novel dish, we are unable to give any judgment as to its taste, but we have classic authority for such dishes, swans, pea cocks, and other similar rarities, having been among the daintiest luxuries of the Apicii and other Roman bon virunts in the Augustan age of the Empire.—Plymouth Journal. A strange rumour is afloat hut we cannot vouch for its authenticity, that a female is now living at Creech St. Michael, near Taunton, who has recovered from a trance, having lain apparently lifeless upwards of three days.—Dorset Chronicle.

A few weeks ago, Mr. L--s, who was about " committing matrimony" with the daughter of a respectable farmer near Uttoxeter, waited upon the curate of the parish, and requested him to let him have some " slicking plaister." The Rev. Gentleman was at first disposed to be indignant, but, on ascertaining the meaning of the facetious bachtlor, he supplied him with the article he inquired after, in the shape of a marriage license, and laughed heartily at the joke. On Sunday morning an American fox made his escape from a caravan at the New Quay, North Shields; but, not being acquainted with the geography of the country, he wisely allowed himself to be taken whilst bending his steps towards Newcastle. GIRLS' DREssEs.—l cannot approve of the modern practice of dressing little girls in exact accordance with the prevailing fashion, with scrupulous imitation of their elders. When I look at a child, I do not wish to feel doubful whether it is not an unfortunate dwarf who is standing before me, attired in a costume suited to its age. Extreme simplicity of attire, and a dress sacred to themselves only, are most fitted to these " fresh female buds." Will there not be years enough, from thirteen to seventy, for ornamenting or disfiguring the person, at the list of French milliners, for checking laughter and forcing smiles—for reducing all varieties of intelieet—all grada tions of feeling, to one uniform tir.t ?....ifew Monthly [Majazine.

Nothing better becomes the polished character of the late President of the Royal Academy than his high feeling and :liberality in every thing con nected with his art. He was wont to say that Owen was the man, of all others living, against whom he found most difficulty in contending for pre-eminence, Thus there was an acknowledged rivalry between those two great artists—but it was the rivalry of gentlemen, who esteemed each other in private, and admired each other's talents in public. During the long period of the protracted illness from which Mr. Owen never recovered, Sir Thomas's carriage was frequently seen standing at the door of his house, in Bruton-street, to a very late hour at night, it be ing the custom of the amiable President, whenever he dined in that neighbourhood, to pass the remainder of the evening with his afflicted friend; and doubt less, on these occasions, the elegant mind of the one, and the powerfully vigorous understanding of the other, produced conversations which must have b een b; g hly in , ercsting to the admirers of that art which both had practised with so much honour to their country and themselves. Nor did his kindness rest here—for after the sad catastrophe, which ter minated the valuable life of Mr. Owen, Sir Thomas, though living amongst the great ones of the earth, could still find an hour to soothe the sorrows of his widow and talk over the prospects of his son.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. JUDGMENT.-MARSHALL V. SARRIT.I.L. The question in this case arose out of a sequestration. Mr. Allan Sarrell was directed by this Court to pay cettain sums of money ; they were not paid, and execution of that order issued. Not having been able to pay the money, he went to Guernsey, and was outlawed. A sequestration subsequently issued, and sequestrators were appointed. John Saudi, son of Mr. Allan Serrell, was in possession of some landed property in the county of Devon, which belonged to his father, and which he cLimed to be entitled to hold under a lease from his father, (Intel] in the year 1816, as well as under a deed of purchase exe cuted in Mk, which was previous to the execution of the sequestration. Notice was served on him that an appli cation would he made to this Court for an order, requiring him to attorn to the sequestration as tenant in possession, or that he should go in before the Master and establish any claim he had, when he might be examined pro inter ease suo. He paid no attention to tide notice, and an order was made directing him to attern. He at first refused, but subsequently attorney in chee r terms :—" I attorn to the sequestrators for such time, at such rent, and upon such terms and conditions, as shall be subsequently agreed upon." Nothing further took place for a very considerable period. Rent was demanded of him by the sequestrators, which he refused to pay. An action was brought by them against him for the use and occupation of the property, and was tried at the Devon shire Assizes. The sequestrators, in support of their case, produced the attornment. An objection was made to this, on the ground that it was of the nature of an agreement, and required to be on a stamp. The Learned Judge enter tained the objection, but reserved the discussion of the question before the Court of King's Bench. The lease, on the part of the defendant, was also set up as a bind ing lease, and as an instrument under which he had a right to hold the property until some agreement had been entered into, or some step taken to an nul it. The Learned Judge seemed to incline to en tertain this as a point also ; both questions, how ever, were reserved to he argued at Westminster, which was done, and the Court supported both. The conse iinence was, that the sequestrators were directed to be nonsuited. An application was made to the Vice-Chan cellor for leave to bring another action on the part of the sequestrators, and that the defendant might be restrained from settieg up as a defence the lease and the deed of pur chase, and that he might be. called upon to repay the costs he had compelled the sequestrators to pay to him. The defendant (in his Lordship's judgment) ought, in the first instance, to have come into this Court, and established his claim, if he had one; but not having done that, it would not permit him to avail himself at law of those in struments which, be contended, were valid deeds, but which he did not choose to have examined here, and consequently the Vice• Chancellor had done right in granting leave to bring another action and an injunction to the affect prayed; but as the s e gue, trators had chosen to go to trial without having been pre pared with further evidence, they ought to pay costs as well as other suitors, therefore the defendant could not be directed to repay their costs. The Vice-Chancellor's order was accordingly confirmed. IN RE-WHITE AND METCALF, BANKRUPTS. The Soucrroa•GENEßA L prayed upon a petition that an injunction might be issued to restrain the Commis sioners from proceeding to examine Mr. Frond again, until Monday next, or until the trial of the cause in this matter, which stands for trial to-morrow morning, sht,l have been tried. Mr. Froud had been summoned to ap• pear before the Commissioners at two o'clock to day, and there was every probability, that if he continued to refuse to produce the deed that he had already been twice committed fir declining to produce, he would be forthwith committed. Such a step would greatly in convenience him in his preparation for the trial of the action to-morrow, he being solicitor for the bankrupts. Hence the, present application. The LORD CnAlzcELLon could not assume that tl•e Commissioners or any judicial body would do wrong, so that he could not make the order prayed. The SOLICITOK-GE , ERAL argued hia point over and over again, but the Lout Chancellor continued to refuse to interfere, leaving the whole to the discretion of the Com missioners. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Tke Vlci-CwaicELLoa was occupied the whole morn• ing with Bankrupt Petitions, none of which possessed any questions of importance except to the parties concerned. It was expected the Court would hare got through the paper containing all the Bankrupt Petitions set down before his Honour at an early hour, but several petitions which were thought to he rotten proving effective, the. Court had made but little way in the - psper when we left. During the present sittings in Bankruptcy his Honour has die. posed of upwards of 145 petitions. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JOHNSON V. LORD AND OTHERS. This was an Action to recover compensation in damages for an injury alleged to hare been sustained by the plain tiffs in consequence of a seizure by the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiffs had taken son e premises in Bread-street-hill, with the intention of fitting them up as a blackin;-manufactory, and having got several of the materials on the premises, commenced their trade, and got in a quantity of molasses, yeast, &c. Six of the de defendants were Excise officers, and had received infor mation that the plaintas were fitting up the premises with a private still, for the purpose of distilling spirits clan destinely. In consequence they made a seizure of all the materials engaged in the process, and also carried off a quantity of liquor that was in the course of process. They also found several other utensils generally used in distilation. Several witnesses were examined for the plaintiffs, who proved the seizure, the ameunt of loss, and that the ingre dients and articles seized wine intended for the making of blacking. For the defence it was contended, that the Court of Exchequer had justified the officers in the seizure, by its having, after due notice being given to the plaintiffs, con demned the goods, without any cruse being shown against that condemnation by the plaintiffs. Lord TENTERDEN held that that was a sufficient justifi cation of the seizure, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. There being another action for the same seizure, Lord TENTERDEN recommended that a verdict should be en tered with consent for the defendants, with an undcr standing that judgment should not be entered up, and that it should be without costs. This arrangement was after some hesitation agreed to, and a verdict to that effect was recorded. The Commissioners of Police have, it is understood, come to the determination of extending the operations of the New Police to the eastern district of the metropolis simultaneously with its introduction into Lam beth. The central station, it is thought, will be White chapel, four houses having been taken as barracks for the men ; one in Great Alie-street, another in Leman-street, a third in Prescott-street ; and the fourth in Mansell-street. The situation is well calculated for the concentration of the entire force, as the back daors of each of these houses open into the extensive area of the Tenter-ground, the exercising ground of the garrison quartered in the Tower ; where, at an instant's warning, tke whole body of police men may be mustered and drilled, and formed at once for action in cases of emergency, without obstruction or im pediment. Much public interest has been excited by the excellent road now constructing in the North of Devon. The spirit dictating that work has extended to the neigh bourhood of Exeter. The communication with Crediton (a continuation of the above), is inconvenient ; and numerous alterations, if not en entirely new line, are con templated. The new cut from Cowley-btidge to Stoke, leading to Tiverton, proves the spirit and judgment by which these operations are directed. At Cowley-bridge these roads unite. The approach to Exeter, in this direc tion, is peculiarly difficult. The necessity of some altera tion is allowed on all hands, and several plane, vatying in merit, have been submitted to the Commissioners.— Dorset County Chronicle. HAPPINESS OF CHILDREN.—Children may teach us one blessed, one enviable ar, the art of being easily happy. Kind nature has given to them that useful power of accommodation to circumstances which coma pensates for so many external disadvantages, and it is only by injudicious roan 'gement that it is lost. Give him but a moderate portion of food and kindness, and the psasant's child is happier than the duke's ; free from artificial wants, unsatiated by indulgence, all nature ministers to his pleasur a; he can carve out felicity from a bit of hazel twig, or fish for it successfully in a puddle. I love to hear the boisterous joy of a troop of ragged urchins whose cheap playthings are nothing more than mud, snow, sticks, or oyster shells; or to watch ;ix quiet enjoyment of a half-clothed, half-washed fellow of four or five years old, who sits with a large rusty knife and a lump of bread and bacon at his father's door, an:l might move the envy of an Alderman. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Joseph Ball, aged 44, was capitally indicted for coaling a sheep and lamb, the property of James Hitchcock. , After hearing evidence, th e J ur y re t urne d a ver dict ( 0 Not Guilty. John Jones, aged 19, was capitally indicted for kW nious!y breaking awl entering the dwelling-home of Thomas Fowls, and stealing therefrom Silbs. of mutton• The prosecutor stated, that on Christmas night htf shop was broke rt open by three men ; the prisoner wa" one of them.

I have done nothing• The meat was found in the direction the prisoner ran, and wls worth about Is. fid. Cross-examined by Air. Prmr,rrs—Cinnot say whether or not the prisoner was tipsy. It never occurred to bin , ' that being Christmas time, the three boys were having " a lark." Mr. PHILLIPS—I shall esk you no further question'. It wiil turn out that the meat was taken by way of frolic• Mr. Justice GAZlCl.Er—Rather a dangerous sort of ► frorc, Mr. Phillips, that brings an individual's life int o jellar.ty. Although in this case, fit:tin the manner in which the shop was left, I am doubtful whether it is o capital offence. There does not appear sufficient evialeare of a capital entry. In answer to a question from the court, the prosecutor said the mutton was resturel to him, and he subsequently sold it. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, eta " I have nothing, my Lord, to say, only that I am en' tirely innocent of the charge aptinst me." Several witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner most excellent character for honesty and industry. Mr. Justice GAZELIM, in summing up, observed that it was a most unfortunate case for a young man who had fo' excellent a character, to be placed at the bar on a capital charge The value of the property sholen was of no cow s!quence, pi °Tided they were of opinion there had been A forcible entry of the house. The Jury consulted for a abort time, and then returned a verdict of Guilty of stealing, but not in a dwelling-houser at the some time, front his excellent character they recived of him, they particularly recommended him to mercy.

William Bell arris•.ed the prisoner, and found on person several skeleton keys, one of which corresponded with the lock in the door which was opened, and the bundle containing the goods that were stolen was also found upon him. The prisoner here addressed the Court, during which he endeavoured to account fur the possession of those goode with which he was charged with stealing, by saying that they were given to him by a man, whom he was wait" ing for at the public house when he was arrested.—Guilt}'• John Williams and John Woods were indicted for stealing, in St Martin's-fields, taro pieces of bacon, the property of John Freeman.—Both Guilty.

The prisoner (a genteel-looking young man) in his de, fence addressed the Court in a m o st f ee li ng manner , an d said that it was the utmost poverty that drove him t° such an act, having had a wife and children just starving , and being unable to gain any etnpl,yment.—Guiltb . .bull with a recommendation of mercy, on account of lei . poverty. Mr. Serjeant D'am's, after having extracted a promi o of his future good conduct, humanely ordered him to be re -I.ased fiona confinement. ;• Wi!lians Patterson Flanagan was charged with ba' ing stolen, on the 23d of December, sever a l articles of wearing apparel.

David Davis deposed to the prisoner's having left bundle in his shop, containing all the articles stolen. The policeman deposed to having arrested the prisone r by direction of Davis. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, WO into tears and owned his guilt, but said it was the extrem e of wretchedness which drove him to such an act. fle, said he had once filled a most confidential situation 01 100/. per annum.—Guilty. Sarah Davis was indicted for stealing at St. Gilee's watch, seal, and key, the property of John Clarke,. 013 the 26th of December.
