BUCKINGHAIIiHIRk: ASSIZES.

AYLESBURY, SUNDAY EVENING.
It is almost incredible the interest excited in this and the town*
adjacent, by the approaching trials of Lynn, for the murder at
IVhaddon Chase, and the three perilous named Allen, Reeves,
and Collier, for the murder of Morris, at Aston Clinton. The
prosecutions are to be conducted at the expense of the Hundreds
of Whisklon and Aylesbury, and the witnesses are at various
inns, awaiting the day of trial. Those fur the defence of Lynn,
amongst shoot are several of the nisdical profession, are also in
attendance. The manner of the prisoner has, since the commence-
ment of the Assizes, undergone a most singular change. He
shuns any particular conversation, as was his previous habit, on
the result of the trial, and when apoken to, more than once has
said, " I think they will hang me,' and earnestly asked the opi-
nion of the persons speaking to him, who have, in express terms,
told him his surmise, in all hutnan probability, would be realised.
On Saturday evening he was informed that his trial would take
place early in the ensuing week, and from the very great change in
his manner, it was thought advisable to pursue measures calcu-
lated to prevent any attempts to destroy himself. Since his con-
finement he has been closely watched by persons appointed by the
magistrates ; and these persons, it is said, will be called on the part
of the prosecution, in order to give most incontrovertible proms of
the unfortunate prisoner's sane state of mind, as a plea of lunacy,
on sett' strong testimony indeed, wil: be offered.
Yesterday, a wish being coniniunicated to the High Sheriff, Jas.
Dupre, Esq. stating that Lynn, having heard that the brother of
the murdered man was in town, wished to have an interview with
him ; accordingly, the High Sheriff immediately directed the bro-
ther to be sent fur, and lie came in :lie course of the afternoon, and
was *hewn into the day-room. There were present the Sheriff;
some Magistrates, and Mr. Sherrill; the Governor. Lynn, on see-
ing the deceased brother, advanced towards him, and in some agi-
tation exclaimed, " How are ye ?" llogg replied in the usual
manner, and immediately asked Lynn what cause he had for tea-
ing his brother'alife in the dreaditil manner he had ? Lynn replied.
he could not tell, he supposed the devil had possession of his mind
at the time. Hogg asked him if he and his unfortunate brother had
had any previous quarrel ? Lynn gave no direct answer, and after
sonic further conversation of a general nature, extended his hand to
Hogg, sishing him faresel. The young man unconsciously was
about to take the proffered hand, but suddenly recollected himself,
checked his purpose, and bursting into tears, retreated backwards,
exclaiming, " No; I can't shake hands with you." Lynn took no
notice of this, and shortly afterwards was locked up in the cell : he.
with Allen, Reeves, and Collier, and the two persons convicted of
horse stealing (Tilly and Randall), were for a length of time at
prayer with the Rev. R. C. Ashlield. the Chaplain of the gaol, who
yesterday delivered to them and their fellow-prisoners a very elo-
quent and pathetic discourse. The discourse had a very visible
effect on the unfortunate Lynn, who, en reading the 2tlai chapter
of Jeremiah, was dreadfully agitated at the verses commencing
and concluding as follow :
" 14. Cursed be the day wherein I was born : let not the day
wherein my mother bore me be blessed."
" 111. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and
sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame."
Ilis mother and other members of his family arrived late this
evening at Aylesbury.
On Saturday afternoon Colonel Wood, his son, Lord Bret.-
nark, and several gentlemen of distinguished rank, arrived at the
White Hart Inn ; their arrival was immediately notified to the
High Sherifl', and to Mr. Charsley, the Coroner for the Coumv,
and an interview took place, the result of which was, a pledge given
by the Hon. Colonel and Lord Breencek for the appearance of tle
young gentleman for trial. The party immediately left the town,
and proceeded to the Red Lion at R endover, where they dined,
and afterwards proceeded in three post chaises to Amerabani.

were not only acquitted, but acquitted with honour. The Learned
JUDGE concurred in this, and added that the prisoners would leave
the Court without the slightest imputation on their characters.

The evidence against the prisoners was purely circumstantial,

verdict of Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE intimated to the prisoners that their lives
would be spared.

MARKETS.
CORN EXCII.INOE MONDAY, MARCH 7.
The supply of every description of (train has been short since this
day week, but several arrivals got in this morning from the Suffolk
and Norfolk coast, and from Ireland. Samples of tine Wheat mct
ready sale to-day at an advance of full 2s. per quarter on the cur
rainy of last Monday. and middling and inferior samples attracted
more attention than of late. Samp!es of prime making Barley sold
freely, fully realising the currency of this day week, but other
sorts were dull sale. There was considerable briskness in the Ow;
trade, both on Wednesday and Friday, but having several fresh
arrivals this morning, principally from Ireland, caused the trade to
be heavy, and prices of last week were with difficulty obtained
New Beans were dull talc, and Is. per quarter cheaper than last
Monday, hut we have not to note any variation in pricesof Old
Beans or Peas of either sort. There was a little inquiry after
Linseed, but no improvement in prides of this article, or of Rape-
seed, can be stated.

SMITHFIELD, 3toynAT, l'itaacn 7.
High as our figures have been for Beef and Mutton for cone
time peat, we are compelled to go considerably beyond then, Otis
day. The reasons generally assigned for the advance in Mundh
are, the losses sustained by the unftsvnurable season, and the high
price of wool. In regard to Beef, the supply is short, end we
particularly miss a considerable number usually sent at this season
by the distillers. It seems a general opinion that the market rill
continue in this state for come time to come. ;scone very prime
beasts sold even beyond lts. 2d., and we doubt not but there was
higher price gives than thi. fur wane of the choicest Sheep. The
Veal trade is not quite so good 1111 to the demand, but we must
keep our figures the same. In Perk we as notice no variation.
