His Hoitoua, in the course of the morning, stated that it was his intention to give judgment in this case o❑ Satur day se'nnight. The Court did not expect, nor did it think it necessary that Counsel should attend, hut the Court ass anxious to disburthen its mind of this heavy and im portant ease. .WE STMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced this morning before Faz/i- CIS CONS; Esq., and a full bench of Magistrates. Harry Green and William Taylor, the former a •' - eYrosti tailor, and the latter a private in the Cold stream r egiment of Guards, were charged with an in decent assault. The prisoners on the Bth of April, went into the Plough public•house, in Rupert-street, and called for .some beer. When the landlord took it inta the room to them, their conduct excited his suspicion, and he watched their actions through the key-hole, what he then saw left •no doubt as to their intentions, and he sent for a Police officer who took them into custody. The tailor gave his address, Bull Inn, Bull-court, Strand, the place where it will be recollected a notorious gang of fellows were taken up and committed en a similar charge some time since. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS, who was Counsel for the .prisoners, in his address to the Jury, said he would take that opportunity of alluding to a notion (and a most shameful one it was) that had gone forth to the public, viz., that it was the wish and inclination of tLe bar to .detract from the merits of the new regiment of police that had been established. He begged most distinctly to state that no such desire existed. It was only wished to purge that body of some of its unworthy li-embers. The officer who had given his evidence in this case had done it in a way that did him great credit, and in a very different manner to what was witnessed in that , Court last Sessions,---when several of the new police con ducted themselves in that manner that the Jury arose as one man, and requested they might not be allowed their expenses. To-day, however, they had an instance of different conduct ; and he could only say, he felt called upon to stare, that the profession to which he belonged were always willing to give credit where credit was due. The Learned Counsel then argued, very ingeniously, on the want of sufficient evidence, and the improbability of the pri loners selecting a room in a public- house for such a purpose; there was nothing, however, to shake the credit of the witnesses, and the Jury, after an elaborate summing up by the Chairman, found them both Guilty. Six months imprisonment in the House of Correction. ROBBERY AT MADAME YESTRIS'S. The Grand Jury returned a true bill against Thomas and George Garland, for robbing the house of Madame Vestris of plate and other valuable articles, an account of which appeared in our Police Report a short time since.

We hear that the reports respecting the health of the Duke of CLAILINCE are not altogether unfounded. The attack, however, is of a character which does not einffine his • Royal Highness to his room, or cause the slightest alarm among his friends. It is merely attended with" personal inconvenience.—Morning Paper. Sir ROBERT PEEL, it is said, is to be itnme• dia ttlY raised to the peerage. It is even added that both the Duke of WILLINGToN and the Right Hon. Baronet's l ate' interview with the KING had this object in view ; but this we can scarcely credit.—Morning Paper. It was stated by Mr. HUME, in the House of Comthons, on Tuesday, " that he had risen on Mon day at seven o'clock, and did' not get to bed until a quar ter before four, having been up for 21 hours, the greater part of which time was passed in the House." As a pendant to the Hon. Gentleman's example of the laborious nature of the duties of a Legislator, it is worthy of notice that in seven short Sessions, from 1822 to 1828, both yeais inclusive, the nation profited, by the labours of Parliament, to the extent of upwards of two thousand one hundred Acts. Considering the great waste of time of the two Houses in lengthy speeches and profitless dis cussions, it is quite evident that the greater number of these Acts must pass through their different stages almost in silence, their contents known only to the few who are immediately concerned in their preparation. - - LITERARY NOVELTIES. --The following Works are just published by Messrs.

PROVINCIAL MANAGERS.—We do not re member to have seen so many manageri . in London as at the preieni moment. Some are pursuing pleasure, and other. haveaneye to th e ma i n c h ance. M URRAY , o f t h e Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, has been forming a matrimo nial engagement with Miss GRAY, a pupil of Miss KELLY, who has played at the Eng Hilt Opera-house for the last few seasons. SEYMOUR, of Glas gow , i s on a visit to his friend KR&N. By the way, we observe the name of nuncio SEymoul in the Scottish Gazette—a circum stance Which will not astonish any man who knows the theatrical t tate of the " GlasgoW bodies." In July, 1824, we actually saw Miss PATON and HORNE play to 7/. 10s. in the late theatre—.a house nearly as large as either of the winter establishments. WALLACE, the next star, played Sylvester Dagger -wood and Norval to a half-price house. In the hope of bringing an audience. ALEXANDER. of the Dunlop 'Theatre, Glasgow, is doing great business through his private connection ; and it is somewhat singular that this is the only provincial city which boasts two patent theatres, while there is not sufficient encouragement for One. DOWNE, of York, has taken a snuff-shop, and fore gone th e sock and buskin as a bad speculation. CLARK, of Liv e rpool, i s comp l et i n g h i s starr i ng arrangements f or the e season.

BAss, of the Caledonian Theatre, Edinburgh, bus been compelled to close and discharge his company, in evasequenee of bad business. _ aez I_ , - TO THE EDITOR OF. THE SUN. SIR S I have received an anonymous letter, of which the inclosed is a copy, but as I am convinced there has been a mistake in the address, and that the writer could not have intended it for me, I shall be obliged if you will publish it at your convenience, as this is the only mode I can devise of returning the letter, or at least its copy, not doubting your widely spreading Journal must find the writer. I am, Sir, Your constant reader, CLERICUS. London, May 15. REV. 'eri I proceed to the motives which have induced me to address you, apologize for not concluding with my same. I am fully aware of the oppro brium which attaches to anonymous writers generally, but surely if friendship be the source whence the advice flows, and timidity the only reason of its being thus son veyed, the writer may find some excuse. I have been in the habit of attending church for several years, and, with the rest of the congregation, have deeply lamented the consequences •f the late Rector's in capacity to perform his professional duties, which de volved to persons who were not likely to feel that interest in the welfare of his flock which might have been ex pected from him—do not imagine I am disposed to ques tion the correctness of your feelings on this point, on the contrary, we all unite in applauding the proper zeal you have hitherto manifested upon every subject which con cerns the spiritual interests of those entrusted to your care. Your parishioners, I believe, have the highest opinion of your integrity and sincerity—you will judge from this your conduct generally has been much approved —generally I grant it has, but in the true spirit of ft fend ship, I will tell you, there are some minor points in which you displease many of your greatest admirers—you may consider them below your attention—do not deceive your self, these subjects are of consequence, as they influence the opinions formed of you. I am convinced that what I shall presently complain of are either habits you have acquired unconsciously, or (which I regret to say, some of your hearers are inclined to believe,) which you have purposely studied, wishing or supposing they would gain you the character of extraor dinat y sanctity. I will commence with the first impression your congre gation receives on your entrance into church. I have heard it remarked that you appear like a felon approach ing the gallows. I can easily imagine (although a layman) that a truly serious Minister of the Gospel, while em ployed in his holy vocation, should both feel and appear serious and devout; but surely clergymen should re member the injunction of their master " Be not of a sad countenance," &c. I must say I was extremely surprised the first day you performed service at church to observe such an extraordinary variety in your manner ; 1 imagined, from the dejected appearance of your counte nance, and the tottering or infirm step with which you paced the middle aisle, that you had either just recovered or were still suffering from genie indisposition—judge then my astonishment as soon as you had ended your prayer in the desk, to behold a countenance as different as if you had removed a mask, when you raised your head from the act of praying.—Compassion for your supposed indispo sition subsided when I heard you read the prayers, Ike. with a loud and sonorous voice ; and shall I proceed to describe my amazement during your first sermon—l doubted within myself whether I was in a conventicle or a theatre ! !—At one moment I beheld and listened to what appeared the ranting of a fanatic, at another to the studied airs of an actor—one instant I saw a countenance that pout•trayed the depths of woe, (even to tears) the next the same features apparently struggling with sup pressed laughter—l really began to imagine an aberration of mind had assailed you. I fear I have been prolix in my criticisms. I assure you I have no other motive for intruding on your time than the hope you will correct a few errors which tarnish your fame with many, and cannot be admired by the think ing and enlightened part of your flock. I cannot judge the effect on the ignorant and vulgar, but I do not imagine they can thus be benefited. It is due to you to acknow ledge that latterly y our style of preaching is improved— you have adopted a more regular and emphatic mode of delivery, and I have of late perceived very few tears or smiles—the absence of which I consider very desirable in preachers. Hoping that you may continue to improve yourself as well as your hearers, I remain your sincere well-wisher, We have much pleasure in stating that Sir HUItIPHREY P. Dionz, Bart. of Creedy, returned to his tenantry on Wednesday and Thursday last ten per cent. on their rental, in consideration of the severe pressure on agricultural interests.—Exeter Alfred. BOL IVA R.—Whether this NAPOLEON of the New World be reinstated perpetual Dictator or not is yet matter of doubt. His character and ambitious views may, however, be estimated by a perusal of General Hotsretet's recently-published Memoirs of bis extraordinary , career, from his entry into the army of Venezuela till the entire evacuation of the main by the Spanish forces. The Re volution at Caraccas—the Declaration of Independence— Battle of La Puerta—the Siege of Carthagena—Retreat of BOLIVAR to Haiti—his Expedition against New Grenada, &c., besides numerous anecdotes of various other Chief tains, are among the multitude of interesting details con tained in these volumes. The carriage pavement on the south side of St. Paul's Church-yard is in a most shamefully-neglected condition, forming a contrast to 'the beautiful and even carriage-way through Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, and sub sequent Cheapside and the Poultry. The front of the Mansion-house is generally in every respect the most neglected part of the city, particularly as to pavement and cleansing. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was held yesterday before Mr. STIRLING, Coroner, at the Wellesley Arms, Robert-street, Chelsea, on the body of a fine new-born male infant, which was found under circum stances that left no doubt that it had, if not actually de stroyed by violence, been wilfully left to perish by its un natural mother. The infant was discovered wrapped in a piece of cloth, in the passage of the house of Mr. WAKE, a coal-dealer in Paradise-row, Chelsea.—The Jury, after consulting a short time, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." ~- THE KING'S HEALTH. (Prens the Court Circular.) The Bulletin of his MAJESTY'S health issued yestetds) was as follows :_. " Windsor Castle, Mdy 19. " The Kura slept well last night.

A New Two-Act Piece was produced here on Saturday, and repeated on Tuesday night with rather increased effect. It is culled Mary Graham, and is in the usual style of Scotch Melo-drame--sufficiently romantic, though without much claim to unity. The story is told in few words. The fair heroine, Mary, is the daughter of humble parents, and betrothed to Donald Rose, a young man of suitable rank. On the eve of their union, Mr. Wilson, the Lord of the Manor, steps in with an offer of kis hand and for tune, which tempts Mary's parents to cancel the engage ment with their daughter's less wealthy suitor. Mary, however, is faithful to her vow, and seeks protection un der the roof of her lover's father. Wilson, who was never serious in his proposal for Mary's hand, though enter taining a design of possessing her on other terms, m ee t s Donald, and taunts him with seducing the girl from her father's home, and entailing misery on her family. Do nald's young Scotch blood cannot brook the insult, and the life of Wilson is the atonement. Donald is appre hended on a charge of murder, pleads guilty before his Judges, asd sentenced to death. Old Graham repents, when repentance is of no avail, and Mary loses her reason. Such are the materials of which the psece is composed; but, slender as they are, the play-wright ham contrived to render them sufficiently interesting to sustain a short piece., Mrs. Cri.trusw, as Mary, gave a delicate portraiture of feminine constancy. The other characters were but in. differently drawn, but the piece wa► well received. The Bulletin did not reach the Mansion house yesterday till a much later period than usual, and great anxiety was expressed in consequence. At half-past two o'clock several hundred persons were collected around the Mansion-house, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the messenger. The delay was further increased in conse quence of the official letter having to be forwarded to the LORD MAYOR, who was at this time presiding at a Court of Common Council. Shortly before three o'clock the Bul letin was posted, and gave universal satisfaction. Rumour has swelled the property of the late Sir ROBE ILT PEEL far beyond any thing that had been imagined as its amount. We have heard the personalty stated at two millions and a half, and the rent-roll of the landed property at 30,000/. per annum. A mon tunent is erecting in Westminster Abbey by Mr. WasTstacurr, jun., to the memory of the late Mr. TIERNEY. The fund for this splendid remembrance of him bas been raised by private subscription. RICHMOND PARK.-(FROM A CORRES roNnatix.)—lt has been remarked, and justly complained of, that Richmond Park, which possesses so many charms and is many attractions to the surrounding gentry, is almost the only Royal demesne from which the public are ex cluded. Why, it is difficult to discover ; except, indeed, that it may be considered desirable to consult the secluded disposition of my Lord SIDAIOUTII. The drive through the Park from Roehampton to Richmond, as well us the numerous other beauties which the place presents, renders it not only convenient but highly advantageous that it should be thrown open under proper restrictions--such as preventing the free ingress and egress of stage cuaches, carts, and hired vehicles ; and we trust that the suggestion in the proper quarter will lead to the adoption of a more liberal arrangement, by which those respectable persons who seek healthful exercise in the 4eighbourhooti of the metropolis may be no longer exeludt d. Such, we are assured, is the wish in the highest quarter: It is not improbable that the subject may be mentioned in Parliament. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of the business appointed for the last Court, which, o❑ account of the accidental departure of an Alderman, was necessarily broken up at the critical period of the motion relating to the admission of the Jews to the freedom of the City. ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH. Alderman WAITHMAN stated that the inhabitants of St. Dunstan's had had a meeting on the subject of the removal of the church, and the widening of that part of Fleet-street. The Corporation had cut down the sum proposed, as their part of the contri bution, from 6,0001. to 4,000/. The Commissioners of Sewers had also reduced their offer from 6,0001. to 4,0001.; but they had attached to that offer a con dition that the inhabitants should expend the sum of 10,000/. for the removal of four houses between Messrs. Praed's, the bankers, and the Church. After the manner in which the proposal of the in habitants had been met, they would take no further steps in the matter. Mr. SAVAGE said there had been one interruption of worship u pwards of ten months ago, and a pe remptory order had been received that they should proceed with the Church. Unless something ‘A as done at once, they must proceed to build the Church in the old place, where it had been so long com plained of as a nuisance. The Trustees were ready to meet any proposition for carrying the improvement into effect. Alderman ATKINS said it would be a great public injury if the opportunity of making the improvement were lost. He therefore moved that the Committee of City Lands and the Commissioners of Sewers should be requested to have a conference with the Trustees of the Inhabitants, on the subject of means for effecting the desired improvement. The resolution was carried. THE JEWS. Mr. p,ELLATT then brought forward his motion concerning the admission of the Jews to the privi leges of citizens. The question just decided in the House of Commons was materially different from that relating to the municipal rights of that people. This measure would, ila fact, prepare Parliament for granting the concessions which 'were still to be de layed. He moved that it be referred to a Com mittee to prepare a bye-law, that every person other wise entitled to the freedom of the City be admitted upon . taking the freeman's oath, according to the forms of his own religion. Sir P. LAwttu objected to_the resolution, which, he said, sanctioned the admission of the disciples of Mahomet, or Southcote, or Carlile, or Taylor. He believed those persons had a religion, though it might be said they had not, for he believed they wcrshipped moral truth. He did not wish that those who had no religion that could be understood should be indiscriminately admitted. He was against breaking down all the barriers of the religion of the country. He admitted at the same time that the Jews were remarkable for their observance of the virtues of sobriety and chastity. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER objected to the motion in its present shape, because it was so indefinite that, provided it should be adopted by the Court, it could not, constitutionally speaking, be carried into effect. The proposition of the worthy mover, Iv; he under stood, was to give certain privileges to those natural born subjects professing the Jewish religion, and he ( Mr. Alderman Winchester) thought for consistency's sake no other principle should have been included. Under the present motion no classes of persons, subjects of any State or Power either known to this country politically or commercially, or even at pre sent not beard of, would be excluded, provided they might think it their interest to become citizens of London, and, as such, of consequence eligible for election as Common Councilmen. He felt per suaded that Mr. Pellatt could not seriously intend his measure to have so extensive an operation. He (Mr. Alderman Winchester) could not help saying that it was not very courteous to the Jews that, in their efforts for emancipation, they should be associated with such a motley group. He (Mr. Alderman Winchester) would take the liberty to recommend that a separate motion should be made confining the object to the Jews, and then - the same could be argued upon its own merits. For the present he should refrain from saying any thing on the general policy or principle of the measure, be cause another opportunity would offer for so doing, before such a by-law as that propounded, affecting so materially the City Charter, could be passed. Mr. M. SCALES could not give a silent vote upon the present occasion, and upon a subject -so in teresting as the present. Having been elected ex pressly because he professed opinions favourable to civil and religious liberty, the present was a proper opportunity for putting them in practice; for it could not be denied that the present was a religious question. Any person born in a distant part of England could obtain the freedom of the city by purchase, upon taking the oath prescribed; not so a Jew, for he could not take the oath on account of his religion. Having so recently, nay even at the present day, been the victim of religious persecution, and that touching my soul's health—(Laughter)— and having completely purged it, and beCome clean — (Loud laughter)-1 may fairly be taken as one of the most orthodox, and therefore fully entitled to speak upon this subject without imputation. The worthy Knight, Sir Peter Laurie, has asked, would the Court admit the various sects with which the country abounds ? To which I answer yes, even to the Southcotonians, and each by the oath by which he will consider himself bound. The Jews, the Quakers, the Catholics, and Moravians, are all admitted witnesses upon such terms in our Courts of Justice, without any injury resulting from it. Are then our fellow-men to be deprived of their civil rights merely from conscientious motives, arising from local circumstances ? for I do contend that religion mainly depends upon lo cal circumstances. If a child is born in Constanti nople he is a Mahometan ; if in Spain, a Catholic; if on the Banks of the Ganges, a Hindoo; in Duke's-place, a Jew; and if in a small village in Derbyshire, as I was, a Protestant and a Church man. Do we not all know and feel the lasting im pressions that are made upon us by our parents at that period when we have no mind to judge for our selVes, and when we have no power to resist such impressions made upon us ? My Lord Mayor, I Will call to the recollection of gentlemen the state of alarm the country was in only two years ago--- not for fear the Catholics should obtain their civil rights, but for fear they should rob us of our gion—(Hear, hear)—and already in my neighbour hood even the old ladies are all become tranquil, and taking their tea in peace and comfort, as happy as if the Bill had never passed. The fright now is, lest the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen should all be circumcised—(Laughter, and order, order) — in that case we are all well aware they would suffer pain and some loss.—(Order, order.) Having been the victim of religious persecution myself, and am even at this moment, I can most willingly concede toleration to others. I have been accused in the Ecclesiastical Court of being a disciple of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, a man whom I never saw above five minutes in my life. A MEMBER here rose to order, and said, we could have nothing to do with the member's private law suits ; it was well known he had suits in the Eccle siastical Courts. Yes (said Mr. SCALES), and I deem it one of the severest satires upon our laws that a man cannot re sort to them either for redress or protection without incurring public censure. I have an ecclesiastical suit--but it is brought against me, not brought by me. It is objected that the motion takes too wide a range, and is not confined to the Jews alone. It is precisely upon that ground that give it my sup port. I would have no disqualifications from a re ligious consideration, at -the same time I should have been much better pleased if both Catholics and Jews had come forward with some ameliorations in the tenets they profess. I consider I speak the opinions of my constituents when I give my un qual.tied vote for the motion. Mr. LEGGE opposed the motion. Mr: Wffop supported the motion, and contended that Christianity did not sanction the intolerance which some thought requisite for its preservation. Mr. STEVENS, of Bishopsgate, asked who, even when he wanted to let a house or sell any goods, thought of inquiring into the religious belief of the tenant or purchaser ? Moral qualities as displayed in his dealings formed the subject of inquiry, and not religious tendencies. _ . Mr. R ICHARDSON, of Cripplegate, was for the motion. lie took occasion to speak of the Wes leyan Methodists, and to censure their intolerant spirit. Mr. TICKNER said, that the Charter of the City would be violated, if the measure was acceded to. Mr. THORNHILL supported the motion.

YORK SPRING MINTING. YOLK, 111111111 AT NIGER. Pursuant to notice, a meeting was geld this morning at Etridge's Hotel, to take measures fee the improvement of York races, and we ate happy to state that fliers is every reason to expect that the object will be filly attained. la the absence of the Hon. E. Petra (through the inelisposi. tion of his mother, Lady Julia Petro), the chair was taken by his Grace the Duke of Leeds, who was supported by General Sharpe, Mr. S L. Fox, Mr. Fetelis, Mr. SWIMS (for Mr. Petre), and some members of the sorporation, who stated that it was the intention of the city to give every possible assistance to the proposed measures. The resolutions were proposed by G. Baker, Ess,, on. of tt:s oldest and stanchest friends to these meetings, who very properly reprobated the attempt to force every thing into Doncaster. He was convinced that they had the mean, of improvement within themselves, and concluded a short ap propriate speech by recommending the establishment of York, Derby, and Claret stakes for the spring meetings, for the same sums and upon similar principles as the stake. run under those titles at Epsom and Newmarket, and the Wentworth stakes, of 200 1101% each, for the August ra;:ea, upon the same conditions as the Newmarket Riddleswortb. This 'proposition was received with aeslarnations, and in less than five minutes the Derby stakes for 1832 and 1833 (the first two years) received fourteen or irteen subseribeti, and the Wentworth stakes of 1834 not less than sight or ten subsctibers; the litAkte will close in the ensuing August meeting, when the horses for the Derby of 1b32, being now yearlings, must be named, and ►he feels if this year roust be named for 1833 ; the stakes to be renewable as for the Epsom Derby: the horse for the Wentworth will be named next year, being then foal'. The Duke if Leeds, Messrs. Petre, Walker, Ridsdals, Fox, ks., subscribed liberally to them ; and front ►he protniose held eat, we have no doubt that the Derby and Wentworth will each receive forty or fifty subscription.. 14 well for the above purposes, as for the immediate improvement of the race:, a local committee has been formed, &nil a liberal subscrip tion entered into. Mr. Petra sibeerikos 401. to the fund, and gives a gold cup of 100 guineas ♦aloe, to be run fi , r the next August meeting (a handicap stakes being added tc. it). At the same races there will also be a gold cup given from the fund, besides plates, &a., so that we may fahir conclu•'e that the York races are coming again.

SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY.-011 Wed nesday the sth instant, the inhabitants of a village south east of Cambridge, were awake from their sleep a little before eleven o'clock, by the report of a gun in the village, which report was repeated twelve times; on rising from their beds and going into the street, they saw three gen tlemen in a carriage, two of them with guns, who had been rook-shooting by moonlight; not content with the sport, ons gentleman fired his gun close to a thatched cot tage and set the thatch on fire. The report of a gun so near a house inhabited, aroused the family, who, fortu nately were not in bed, bat went out immediately, and with a pail of water, applied at the critical moment, ex tinguished the fire. Had the family been is bed, probably their house, with many others, would have been consumed. The inhabitants pursued these gentleusen (as they call themselves) and brought them before the heads of the parishofiltho insisted on having their names and places of abode; however, it turned out that they came from the University of Cambridge, and, on the following day, apo logi>ed to the parties concerned, acknowledging, their con-. duct to be very wrong, and left twenty shillings for the men who apprehended them : thus the business ended.— Boston Gazette.

MAD DOGS.—On Tuesday, in consequence of an application having been made at Bow-street Office, by Mr. Tnoxas, the Superintendent of Police of Division F, respecting the number of dogs that are permitted to go about the streets, which he was of opinion was dangerous to the inhabitants, in consequence of the prevalence of hy drophobia, the Magistrates having consulted on the sub ject, ordered hills to be circulated, stating that unless the owners of dogs kept them tied up, or properly "retrained, the a.intnals would be destroyed. . 04 016 On 12th it tst. a young woman ca,, by a wol; far' vard situated on the t.kirts. el f he fop i est of t ifil a Al k I fa; a. , all . 0 , c ~ , . ?•: mamal ' A ' 1 ,` !
