The Sessions adjourned to Wednesday, the•lath of January.

On Saturday evening. about 6 o'clock, a message was sent to (r.
filmic, at Bow Street, from Drury Lane Theatre. stating that thr:a
persons had been very busily circulating hand bills at die different
doors ot• the Theatre, evidently with a view of creating a breach of
the peace; that these persons had been take-lints custody, and were
then ready to be conveyed before him. Mr. Birnie lost no time in
attending to the intimation ; he entered the office, and the (Minding
parties were brought before him, in the custody of police officers,
and attended by Peter Moore, Esq.. A large bundle of the hand-
bills which they had been distributing were produced. Upon exa-
mining thesehand bills, they turned .at to be a copy of a letter,

called LiWput, upon the stags as tending to produce the worst con .
sequences upon their future haliits. The writer finally espresso:lsm
hope that the public opinion would be unequivocally declared against
the continuance of the prance.
Mr. Birnie said, that he had nothing to do with the feelings of
the public, us far as they regarded the performances of a triestre
nevertheless, as the distribution of the bill in question might pro-
duce:l4l.2dt of the peace, from the manner in which it was curcu
latcsl, he thought it his duty to recommend that the farther circula-
tion might be suppressed. With this view he sent tOr Mr. Beyer, the
printer, of Bridge Street, liltmlifriars, whose name was attached to
the bill, and pointed out to him the apprehensions which might fairly
be entertained. Mr. Bryce readily attended. He said he had
been employed by a respectable person to take the course which had
been complained of ; but at the same time signified his intention to
meet the wishes of the worthy Magistrate by withdrawing his ser-
vants, and preventing the bills from being further issued.
Mr. Peter Moore, at some length. defended the romance eom.
plained of, as calculrted to produce the best effects upon the rung
gsaeration, and to exhibit to advantage the precocity of youth.
Mr. Birnie observed, that these were discussions which did not
conic within his province. His duty was to prevent a breach of the
perce, and he hoped this had been effectually done. The parties in
custody were then discharged, and no further complaint was made
during the evening. The Theatre was perfectly quiet.
Wednesday morning, as Ann ►lurphy, ►hree years old, re.

The following very sensible letter appeared in the Times of
Friday. ladependent of the awful warning to Youth, which
one part of it holds out; it contains observations on the
crime for whicii Vartio antrered, well deserving the attention
of the legislature of the conntry.
n.—This day the fatal sentence of the law has been executed
upon pour Yank; lie is no inure. No one unacquainted with the
interior of a prison can sufficiently feel for the excruciating anxieties
and karts. the tormems of lingering hope, which await the con-
derailed criminal ; he had his shire of them, butt as., ore at an end.
His fate, however has awakened refiectious in my Mind which I
am desirous of pressing upon politic attention.
•• lie was born in Westmorland. of respectable and now almost
distracted parents. The abilities lie early evinced procured for him
a gratuitous education ; and he successively obtained by his good
conduct, his decent and gentle manners, the situations of tutor in a
noqle family, usher at a school, and clerk in the Gravesend Bonk.
—ln all he was highly respected, and • considered to possess very pro-
mising talents. Unhappily his mind became tainted with infidelity,
and this paved the way tor that temptation to which lie sacrificed his
hopes, his character, fuel his life.
" Ile fled to France, and urged by his ardour for literary, acqu•ition
entered the College at Abbeville.
" I saw him yesterday ; lie was free from every kind of nervous
agitation, and perfectly caha and oullerted in his deportment. He
said, that his mind was at ease, that he dopenchal upon his Saviour;
that he was going from art earthly to a heavenly tribunal, and that
there, and there only, he had hope. He left a sketch of his life,
draw n up by himself. in the hands of the Rev. Mr. Cotton, which
concludes with this paragraph :
In this innocent and ainasing manner (alluding to his literary
parsuits), nearly two years paved sweetly over, when a vacancy oc-
curring in the Gravesend Bank, I was engaged a, a clerk by the
firm, who considering my general good character as a sufficient se-
curity required no other. Noir becoming more public, the sphere
of my acquaintance was extended, and its a consegitence my former
habits of my retirement began gradually to wcor offs The pleasure
that I had hitherto found in the closet, was now sought in the gay
circle of my compaoions. Thc seeds of infidelity which had been
sown, began now to make their appearance. Christianity I con-
sidered a grand political scheme. invented to preserve order And sub-
ordination among the people ; but, thank. to its author, I now view
it in another light. I, it to be wondered at, that one standing on
glltit fallacious ground could not withstand the temptation by which
I fell ?'
" I pass by his personal endowments; his talents certainly of no
ordinary description ; his senility in the prospect of inunediate
death ; his humble religioth confidence t—tiiese are topics which
isnot as memorials of a youth of nineteen years of age. for whom
at this moment the bell has hardly ceased to toll, would be cal.
eulated to interest the feelings, but my object is to address the judg-
ment.
" If the security of commercial intercourse demands such a
sacrifice, if trade cannot be conducted without the terror excited by
such a dismal example, we must perhaps give our sorrowful appro-
bation to the event; but where is the proof that such severity is
calculated to accoinplish its object ? Certainly not in England,
fur hare forgery is punished with death, and here forgery is alarm-
ingly frequent. Certamly not in America. for there it ispunished
with perpetual imprisonment, and there it is an otfence of rare oc-
currence.
Allow me to draw the attention of the public to the singular
contrast exhibited by these two great commercial nations. Till the
execution of Hr. in 1777, tnis trial was not always visited
with death; but the law has auginenuril its rigour, and forgery has
raultiplicil in proportion. In America about the same period it was
a capital offence; it is now expiated by confinement ; sad as the pu-
nishment oss become more mild, the crime has become inure
rare. !low then does this strange anomaly arise ? The answer is
simple, the crime is practised here with companuire impunity. There
are few who will prosecute in Ca•eth of forgery. Many are 'deterred
by the hot ior of inflicting death on those with whom they have been
in the habits of familiar inn:it-nurse, their dependents and cLrits.
Many tarn their eyes inward, and discover actions of flair own as
flagrant—less culpable indetal at the Tribunal of Man, but as d.eply
atrocious beihre ticir God—as that for which they one to call down

A few days ago 'Vickery, the officer, arrived in town from
Richmond, with Mrs. Anne Marshal Dobson, a female of re-
spectable appearance, in IliA custody, having apprehended
her at Kenyon-house, Richmond, the residence of JUIIII Met-
eallearleton, Esq. her brother in •law, she being charged on
suspicion of falsely personating the mother of Joseph Mar.
shall, late a seaman on board his Nlajesty's ship the Alphea,
which was blown op in the Channel some time since.
A sister of the prisouer was mart ied to a man of the name
of Marshall, about 20 years since ; she died, and left tour
children. The prisoner soon after married her brother-in.
law, 11-. Marshall. On his death the prisoner married Mr.
Dobson. On the decease of Joseph Marshall, she adminis-
tered to kis effects as his lawful mother, to receive his wages
and prizi-neine, and as such signed a pinion to the Trea-
inter of the Navy.
John Nleteatie Carleton, Esq. the prisoner's brother-in-
law, :mewled, and admitted flint he had attested the prison-
er's signature of the petition, e:aiming the wages and prize-
money of Joseph Marshall as his mother. The other attesting
witness was Mary Fisher, now a governess and housekeeper
in the Marquis of Cornwallis's family, and who at that time
was in a similar situation in the family of the Earl of Shaftes-
bury.

scribed in the warrant.

Mr. Carleton stated that he was known to Lord Sidmouth
and SCVellti other public characters, and hoped his sister
would lie admitted to hail.
Mr. Itirnie informed him the offence was not bailable.

Mr. Bicknell and Mr. Jones, Solicitors to the Admiralty,
stated, that they considered their case to be complete; they,
however, bad no objection to the prisoner being brought to

accompanied her in a coach to prison.
On Monday evening a second investigation took place re.
stisetiug Mr. J. Nesbitt, Mate of the Swallow packet, pre-
seating a forged bill tor Ann. lii the Victualling office for ac •
ceptarice, which purported to be drawn by T. Pipoitn, Com-
missary General at Lisbon, and payahle iu London at 30 days
after sight. Mr. Nesbitt's father, having been informed of
his son's detention, came to die office in the eveiiiiig, and
confirmed the account given by his sun of the purchase oldie
bill in question of David Pacifica), an agent at Villa Nova,
and confirmed the other circumstances, except as to the
number of spaLisli dollars paid for the purchase of it ; the
father said 1000, and the son said 2000, or there might be 3
or •100 inure. On the father being asked if he did not- think

consideration of their regular mode of sailors doing business,
all proceedings were drupped.
Mr. Neweil, a butcher, of Pantotustreet, in the Hay.
inayke:, was tined in the penalty of 411 s. on the complaint
of Mr. Thompson, the inspector, for her rails and hooks pro-
jecting beyond the limited distance. Mr. Newell admitted
that the inspector had given him notice to alter them, and that
his neighbours had altered the fronts of their shops.
A case was also brought forward on Wednesday by Mr.
Duncan Campbell, a public-spirited Gentleman, against Mr.
8411, a ti•hnmiucer in West street, for placing a tow with
water in it to wash fish in the horse road opposite his house,
and a small barrel with a board aud fish on it on the lout
pavement. The charge was clearly proved. The defence
set tip to it was, that they were for the purpose of unloading
a curt; but it was proved that there was neither cart nor cat.
riage there. An objection was taken by a Solicitor attend-
ing for Mr. Bull, that Ilse proceedings were irregular.

Campbell said, he ►food 'you public grounds ; and if some

pledged himiellto make them, or he would take them into

enforced iu the extreme, partienlatly in Montruuth•street,
where shoemakers wet e not allowed to hang shoes outside
their houses, or cellars: and a fishmonger in Store•streel had
been put to the expellee of 1301. to alter his house.
In the evening J. Hearn and Sarah Bridget Turner were
brought to the office, and itudervient an examination, charged
with uttering forged Banknotes, and being cuinnoul titter-

Mr. Pritchard stated that lie had seen the notes, and•that
they were forgeries.
The prisoner was extremely alerted during the examina-
tion; he wept nearly all the house; Its youthful appeara•ee,
the respectability of his connexions, and the awful situation
in which he was placed, drew fourth the pity of every person
present. He was fully committed for Kingston Assizes.
