LONDON SESSIONS .—Dday villuslice.—Thursday
being the day appointed for holding the London
Adjourned Sessions, the Lord Mayor, Alderman
Birch, Thompson, and Brown, the Common Ser-
geant, the Sheriff's, the Jury, and Counsel, attended
befiire ten o'clock. The presence of four Aldermen
being nece►sary when the Common Sergeant fills the
place of the Recorder, although the attendance of
no more than tbree is required when the latter
officer takes his seat, messengers were sent round to
the Alde.manic brethren respecting the assistance of
any individual of their body in the Court. The
Lord Mayor, and all the rest of those who were in
readiness to commence business, waited with different
degrees id patience nearly two hours. The Jury
expressed their feeling without much hesitation or
ceremony, and having agreed upon one point unani-
mously, that further delay would be an inconveni-
ence upon them, departed. The business of the
Sessions is, in consequence of this negligence or
misfortune, or whatever the absent Alderman may i
choose to term it, to stand over till the 8 tli uf
January; and until that period arrives, six prisoners
who should have been tried on Thursday must re-
main in prison. The expences attending the delay
are considerable ; and the excuse generally made by
negligent Aldermen is, that they have such a variety
of business as prevents them from attending to this
most important part of their duty. It is certainly
the wish of the Aldermen who are able to attend to
the duties of the situation, that Close who are not,
would make room for men calculated to lighten the
unnatural weight upon the general body.
WESTMINSTER ABOEY.—The iron railing which
obstructed the view of the monuments in this beau-
tiful edifice, is now rein,ivol, preparatory to Mr.
Theakston, sculptor, beginning his herculean task
of cleaning and restoring them, Too much prai e
cannot be given to the present Dean and Chapter,
for their spirited resolution in having those works of
art restored to their origimil purity. There arc a
great number of the inscriptions nearly obliterated
by time, which when restored and brought to the
eye, clear of the long complained of obstruction of
iron work, cannot but be highly gratifying to the
public at large, as well as to the relatives of the de-
ceasedto whose memory they are inscribed.
A clothier in Dunkeld has received orders to pro-
vide three hundred suits of tartan, with bonnets and
hose complete, for the purpose of clothing a body of
sturdy Highlanders, as a guard for his Majesty when
he visits th, Duke of Athol.
