OLD BAILEY:

TULSDA V, Nov. 10.
The whole of the trials having been gone through, at 12
oe.ock sentence of death was passed upon the following 25
prisoners, four of whom have been convicted of uttering
forged bank notes :William Digby alias Cripps, John Evans,
Gilbert Warren (forgery), William Holt, Patrick Leeson, T.
Herbert, John Bnrges., Ralph Hodgson, George Beck, John

Peter Filigan, William Knife, Ed ward Evans, William A bkens,
William Parsons, Joint Leonard (forgery,) Susannah Leonard
(forgery), Susannah Fartuillo (forgery,)Stephen Morris,Janies
Dennis, and Mary Hall.
A Jury of Matins was sworn in to ascertain whether Mary
Hall, upon whom sentence of death had been passed, was or
was not with child. The jury retired, and on their return,
reported that she was with child. The judgment upon Mary
Hall was therefore respited.
Sentence of transportation for life was passed npon the
following prisoners :—Marsli Brown, Henry Hawkins, Wm.
Clarke, Hugh Corrie, John Carter, John Ray, James Edwards;
Thomas Little, William Bingley, Jahn Teske, George Brooks,
Edward Farren,and Mary Brown.
The following were sentenced to 14 years transportation :
Joseph Davis, John Combe, William Brown, Thomas Curry,
John Lecore, and Catharine Bryan.
John Daley, tried for the murder of Learwood, the tailor,
in the Fleet, and convicted of manslanghter, was sentenced to
one year's imprisonment in Newgate.
No fewer than 76 prisoners were sentenced to seven years'
transportation. Several other prisoners were sentenced to
lighter punishments.
The sessions then adjourned until Wednesday tlic 2d of
December next.

It appears by a retnrn presented to the llome of Commons
(and which was ordered to he printed on the sth of June
Iola), that the her of ei iinival offenders committed fur
trial in England and in Wales, during the la4t thirteen years,
has increased in the last year to inure than triple the number
of the former year ; that the number sentenced to death was
Heady in the like proportion ; hut Oat the number of execu-
tions was not one-half in proportion to the number so Sea-
tsuced.—The hers wets as follow :

The messenger of an apothecary in Kentish Town, who
was employed to carry medicines about to the several pa-
tients of his master, had, on the sth of Nos ember, purchased
a quantity of squibs, two dozen of which he had put into his
breeches pocket. As lie went along, lie !et one of them off,
but unfortunately some of the sparks thereof coming in con-
tact with the touch paper of those in his breeches pocket,
almomst instantaneously set them in a blaze. The boy was
terrified, did not put his hand into his pocket for fear of burn-
ing it ; in vain did lie call to the bystanders, for they were
equally terrifies' with himself. Shortly, a tremendous ex-
plosion was heard, and the spectators were shucked by
the horrissle sight of his bowels gustiing from his abdomen.
The shrieks of the boy roused tile beholders at length to a
Sense of charity, and lie Was shortly atter carried to St. Thul-
ium'''. Hospital, where he now lingers with very slender hopes
of his recover).

Fr.stALE COURAGE.—On Thursday evening n man who had been
absened lurking about Newington tin several hour-, got over the
fence of a garden belonging to Mr. Webb, Prospect Row, where wt.
rioua article!, of linen were banging out to cry. Catherine. the
daughter of Mr. Webb, about 19 years dirge, peireiving him in the
act of taking the property from the lines. went into the garden ; the
thief upon her approach attempted to escape over the wall, but was
foilel ao the endeavour by the courage of Miss Webb. who seized
hon by the collar, and held him fast till her father arrived to her
assistance. The name of the robber is Wm. Sherwood. Upon being
taken before a Magistrate, he was committed for trial.

Tun Goon N Elan non n.---The following droll circumstance
lately occurred in the north of the metropolis lady, probably
very ignorant of what was passing in her own Imo e, as she
thought, and had reason to think, from hes unwearied vigilance,
perfectly aermaiuted w tth all the domestic economy of her ncigAwirs.
It happened that by a loug and diligent observation of the proceed-
ings in an opposite mansion, occupied by a foreign nobleman, she
ltad ascertaimd beyond a doubt that the footman sent to bed in the
Irani r rvant's room. To be convinced of error, and to lose no time
in correcting it, is the grace of virtue. A letter, charged with thew
suspicion*, was immediately dispatched to the 4 mint, who wrote her
a very politic answer, stating how much he was obliged to her Mr the
lively interest sh•e took in the morality of his tanoly, that he would
forthwith institute an inquiry into the matter, and paw speedy end
to any impropriety he might discovtr; but he begged leave to ob-
serve, that he had lotto:Ito understood it to be die custom of this
country for a wan and wik to sleep togeducr.

of Tuesday week last, 125 teams, comprising 359 horses and
a capital yoke of oxen, the property of Mr. Sherbdrn, at-
tended by a proper number of labourers, assembled on the
fano, with every implement of husbandry reirisite for tlre

allotted tasks, and the following; work, upon 100 acres of
land, was performed within the extraordinary short time of
six hours and a half :—The whole 100 acres skilfully ploughed,
of which 60 aeres were sown with wheat, and 20 acres will
tares ; and the 80 acres harrowed and rolled. The whole
was completed in a workmanlike manlier ; and it is particus
lady worthy of notice, that the first twenty acres were
ploughed in one hour. The day having been iniusmilly fine,
drew together ags eat number of distinguished agriculturista
and highly respectable yeomen, to witness this interesting
scene ; among the gentlemen present were observed Mr.
Wood, of Littleton, and Mr. Rae, of Ashford. All parties
testified their nitrololrd approbation at the tcgnlarltyuilll
which the business' was conducted, from the commeneement

to the termination; indeed the jo.dieloint piev ions arrange.
molts prevented any confusion. On the teains leaving the
field, the servants were each respectfully presented with a
gratuity, independent of a substantial lunch and plenty of
ale. It was observed with pleasure, that out of so many
husbandry servants not au oath or L;tanplionone expression
was hear) during the proceeding. The labours of the day
