MONDAY, JULY 23.—Hector Munroe, ty.,cal 17, related
to families of tile highest repectithilit y,w as capitally 'aid bled
for stealing iwu valuel3l. it/ the house of M. W.
Troy, Esq.
Mr. Outs lin...stated, Ilint the prosecutor was intimately
acquainted with ihe prisamer's family. The prisoner Sonic
Hate ago had gained his fathei's house is conseopience of
some family diui•rrure, and the prosecutor lanolin?, I • in a
blatC of thitret.,, invited him to Lail at his house, which he
did several limes. Oii the :id all. he called it Mr. Troy's
absence. that when the latter gentleman retuned he missed
a musical and an agate smelt box, which Oad been placed an
a t oble in the non, iii whica I lie pi isomer sal, mid
could he gaiiird of lion until I helSi it ofJ unc,wOen he was fout7tl
by Mr. Maniiiii-; of the Adelphi, tit whose house be had also
neut.,. :illy called, in a most wretched state. Ile taxed oito
with rohliao; Mr. Tray, aml lie iwwediately gave up two
implicates for the hoses, which he bad
for 3i. the day after they were ttolen. Mr. Al:wining nad
missed twu silver snalr-lioxes nual some spoon, at time, wile',
the prisoner had called, anal tie accused liiin of stealing them,
upon alttch lie produced duplicates for all of them, and
made a full confession of ids guilt.
The facts were full) proved in evidence.
The prisoner made 1111 defence, but appealed to Mr. I law-
kits, who was stun; at the barrister's table, as to character,
who deposed that lie bad known the prisimei since his child-
hood, anol was intimately acquainted with his family. Ills
conduct, as far as the wittiest had an opportunity of oiliservilog
it, was that of n gentleinahls yours; man, And lie is as much
beloved by those who knew him until this unhappy or•
currence.
111 r. Jos ice Uniroyal.— W hat is his father's situation in life?
Mr. Hawkins--He is a gentleman of considerable fortune,
any Lurd.
Mr. Justice Holroyd vomited up the evidence, observing
that the charge of stealing Wills toe cleat ty made out to
admit of a doubt ; but the Jury, in con:Micron; the value,
would recollect that the snutl• boxes mi lit have been lab eii
at Oillerria and the musical boa was merely valuable
as a fant•y article, and perhaps it Might nut be intrinsically
worth 40s. . _ _

The Jury returued a verdict of guilty of stealing to the
amount of 311%
John alias Jones Patterson, a sturdy I libernian,
was capitally indicted for breaking into the lio.:sc of J.
Proctor, and stealing t herein a quatittty of silver spoons, and
other articles, his ill ()pert y.
Ile said in his defence, that lie had been to the fire works,
and on his return home lie picked up the things that were
found upon hint. Ile dewed that tie was the person who
was in the area. Guilty—Death.

he was glad to meet a countryman " in Lutinon," and
asked him to take some beer. They adjourned to a
house in Southampton-buildings, where, in a kw mi..
touts, they tve.e joined by Turner, who said lie was a
ti..deton...ii from Herefordshire, and was come to London
to consult the Doctors concerning his health, which had
been very bad lately. Soon afterwards a third man came
cotiverse with flawkiw, and offered him a
met 4)1 some subject, which Hawkins declined; upon
which die stranger said, in a contemptuous tone, " You
arc all poor iellows, and can't raise 101. among,t you."
A this Hawkins allecital it, be very angly, and swore he
could prodoce 101 and aske,' the prosecutor if lie could.
Caner sail lie had 101. al ;10111e, upon which the stran-
ger said, he would betlelll all 11. each, that they could
not produce 101. within half an hour. Cooper swal-
lowed the hait,and ran 111/111c with all speed to fetch his
101. note, with which he retortied, and found them still
there. The two prisoners eaten pi-winced what appeared
to he a 101. note, and Coupe' prrrtlitect, his in his hand ;
tile stranger acknowledged he had lost, Inn did not offer
to pay. A dispute theft arose oetween Hawkins and the
stranger as to the definition of a particular word, and the
stranger offered him a diet of 11. upon it, which was ac-
cepted. Cooper aiiil Turner we; e invited to join in the
wager; and the former said, he did not want meal ry any
money away, and therefore he would bet " double or
quits" with the stranger. Cooper then, at the stigAestion
of the stranger, put his 101. with the limes which the
prisoner had produced into a hat, to bind the bargain.
A Dictionary was fetched and examined, and Cooper
was informed he had lost. He said he did not care, and
desired to have Ins lolt note; but this request WaS ridi-
culed even by rs friends, the prisoners, who joined the
stranger in declaring he had lost the whole 101. He re-
monstrated warmly, but it was of no we; the notes were
scrambled out of tile hat, and the whole three ran out of
tile house, in spite of the cltitrts of (roper, who placed
htinself in the passage, and ant iiiptetl to stop them. He-
followed and c Wed for assistance, and a constable pur-
sued and secured the two prisoners. \ Vitae he was
holding diem, the prosecutor's 101. note dropped from
the hand of 11.iwains.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 30.
Three o'clock, p.

According to advices from Constantinople received
at Vienna, the Austrian Minister had fiikd in his
efforts with the Porte, to produce an adjustment of
its differences with Baron Strogonoff, the Russian
Ambassador. The Grand Sultan, it is probable,
hesitates, being apprehensive of giving oflimce to the
infuriated populace of Constantinople, whose lawless
and brutal proceedings are so revolting to every
principle of justice and humanity. Their exaspera-
tion against the Turks has increased, in consequence
of the Turkish fleet having been driven under the
guns of the Dardanelles by the Greek squadron,
with the loss of the 71 gun ship burnt by the Greeks,
near Sigri, on the western side of Mytilene. This
ship did not sail with the fleet from Constantinople,
but having fallen in with 9.0 or 30 small Greek ves-
sels, was driven into the harbour of Sigri, and con-
sumed by the means of fire ships, and most of the
Turks, in endeavouring to escape, were either
drowned or killed by their enemies.—Private intel.
ligcnce, receiveil from an authentic source, asserts,
that so far from 1,200 men having been immolated
at Smyrna, as stated in the Austrian Observer. the
number did not exceed 200. The accounts of the
slaughter of the Christians, at Sidonia, is unfortu-
nately near to the truth. Great numbers, however,
of all classes, escaped in Greek vessels. The Pacha
of Egypt is said to be in correspondence with the
Greeks in the Morea, and the Druses of Mount
Lebanon are reported to have taken oft' the Ottoman
yoke, and to have defeated a corps sent against them
by the Pacha of Damascus. In this state of affairs
in Turkey, the politics of Russia are viewed with
with suspicion, no doubt, by the Powers of Europe.
It will be curious to see the Northern Autocrat, the
great upholder of legitimacy, take part with the
Greek Insurgents. The politics of the Holy Alli-
ance will soma become a hotchpotch confl:deracy,
regardless of any thing in its appearance like har-
mony or consistency.

THE FuNns.—.lll the brokers connected with
Government have sold stock very largely, and as
their means of inffirwatiun renders it probable that
they act on sufficient grounds, the example is ful-
lowed by innumerable others, without knowing
what they are. None of the causes assigned by ru-
mour appear to us to be sufficient. Changes of
Ministry, new arrangements With the Bank re-
specting the payment of the dividends, the nature
o Lord Walpole's mission to Constantaniople, and
the relations between Russla and Turkey, arc alike
subjects of discussion and alarm. On the whole,
the panic, if nut quite unteundcd, has been much too
great for the occasion, and the abundance of money
which at present exists, is calculated to counteract
the decline, and will, when a re-action takes place,
materially assit it. In foreign stock the operations are
languid and will probably continue so till the con-
tracts for the new loans with Spain and France arc
completed —The arran;enicats for the different lists
continue at Paris; but the parties will not be accu-
rately known till the deposit, which the French
minister insists on beffire °tiering fur the vontract, is
made, when their names, it is expected, will be otii-
cially announced in the Mundeur. In the Spani•At
loan the merchants at Madrid have entered into
active.compction with the foreign capitalists, and it is
supposed will be successful. We are at no certainty
with respect to the form of the contract, except that
it will contain provisions fur repayment in ten years.
Neapolitan stock declines, awl Fru:snail improves in
value. The following are the current prices
French, 85f. 85c.. Prussian, 81i; Neapolitan, 67k;

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.

At the conclusion of the late OM Bailey Sessions,

Common Sergeant, who was presiding, that he had a

varying in ellevacter and degree; and it behoves them to state
then Lshogs of 41,ep rqtrct thst the absence of marked atrocity
should not more an exemption ilOlll the dreadful sentence of
death. Notaitlistandimg the high degree of confidence they
would place in the merciful discrimination of those who arc
invested with the final disposal of lives forfeited to the law, the
painful apprehension caused by the uncertainty of remission
tle;)rives them of tJe satislacqon which should follow their own
verdict. Mason and humanity dictate the hope that the embar-
rassing difficulties attending the office of juror may be speedily
removed; constrained .1S they now are by their oath to award a
punishment so manifestly excessive us to demand the constant
interposition of higher authority to prevent its being carried into
efiect. It is their bumble desire, therefore, to communicate to
his Majesty's council, through the humane offices of the Court,
that the London .fury respectfully di cisim the extreme penalty
which their verdicts would seem to nrvok•e on the criminals they
have had in charge, and eartiesdy solicit their deliverance lions
death."

The above was approved and signed by all the
Jurymen.

We have had very few fre•h arrivals of Wheat from Essex,

of the extremely limited supplies; indeed each article of
