Yesterday these Sessions for the City and Liberty of
Westminster commenced before RICHARD HAIKVII, F.M.
who officiated as Chairman pro. fan. and a full Bench of
Magistrates.
The Citatnitatt, in his address to the Grand Jury, adverted
generally to the cases which would be laid before them ; and,
in alluding to the election that was about to take place, be
begged that. as far as their authority went, they would etudes.

ever, it often oeserred that apprentices, and young teen,
perhaps too the suns of highly respectable peeves's, were
suffered to attend, and it must be admitted that the evil
was one of a serious character, as they could not be of the
slightest possible good, but often led to much mischief.
He trusted, therefore, that the Grand Jury would take it
into their coasideratios, sad recommend trailesineu and
gentlemen to prevent, as far as they could, the attendance
of their apprentices and sons.
Wm. Way and Janes Wham were indicted for tumult-
lag Stephen Mennen, one of the black musicians In the 3d
Regiment of Guards.
Mr. Aunts stated the cireentstancee of the case to the
Jury.
The Prosecutor stated, that seeing the door of the Ele-
phant end Castle public house, et the corner of Perkin's-
rent., open about half•past twelve o'clock, be went in and
asked for half a pint of beer. The landlord (who was one
of the Defendants) would not let him have it. but called him
names, reflecting on hi; colour and country; sad *hew he

each, taking into consideration that other indictments had
been preferred again►t them.

There was a ►erious disturbance on Saturday
cresting, among the labouring bankers, at a pub-
lic-house at Wandler!, respecting their wages, and
some constables called in to apprehend the most
refractory, were so severely handled that they were
glad to make their escape. The presence of the
Spilsby yeomanry cavalry was found necessary to
restore tranquillity ; and we understred that thir-
teen of the ringleader* among the bankers have
been taken into custody, seven of whom have been
committed to the honse of correction at Louth, for
trial at the nest Session*. —1 ligoton Paper.)
From the present favourable state of the weather,
and the promising appearance of the wheat crops,
the agriculturist► predict, that the coining harvest
will be earlier by three or four weeks, than It was
last year, and more generally productive.
