MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

On Wednesday John Jame: Dawes, a boy only fifteen
years of age, was indicted for stealing three sovereigns and
one shilling, the property of Francis Henry Hawes.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was his brother,
and that they both resided in the house of their father, and
slept in the same room together. On the night of the 11th
inst., previous to his retiring to rest, he placed his trowsers,
in the pockets of which were 31. 25., on a chair by his bed-
side. On awaking the following morning he found that the
prisoner had left the room, and taken with him three sove-
reigns and one shilling of the money witness had placed in
his pocket. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN had received a letter from the boy's
father, stating that he was an incorrigible young fellow. He
would pass a nominal sentence on the prisoner, namely, that
of transportation for seven years, with a view of getting
him into the Penitentiary.

THE GRAND JURY.
The Grand Jury came into Court with a true bill against
James Irish, Charles De Boos, Barnett, and Edward
Russell, fur keeping a common gaming-house, called the
Berkeley Club Ilouse, in Albemarle-street. The Grand
Jury were then discharged, with thanks for their services.

THE BIRMINGHAM FES.:.l7ir AL.

BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY MORNING.—The fail.% al, as
we anticipated from certain misgivings which were a. goat,
has not commenced with its usual eclat. The hall,
on the opening day of the last festival was thronged, pt e-
sented this morning but a dreary appearance. The pg•
tron's gallery was very thinly peopled, and the unreserved
seats were nearly empty ; the entire space appropriated to
auditors, in point of fact, being not more than one-third oc-
cupied. The repulsive power was Neukomm, and the Bir-
mingham people have at length found out that they have
not discovered in him another Handel or Haydn. The
plea of want of novelty is unavailing here. There is no-
velty in abundance, combining also first-rate excellence.
The works of Mozart and Haydn, of Beethoven and Spar
—nay, of Handel—would furnish fresh matter Iv this fes-
tival through the present and succeeding generation. But
the Israel in Egypt of Handel, the Requiem of Mozart,
the Christ on the Olive Mount of Beethoven, the Cruci-
fixion of Spell!. (all of which would be novelties here in
their entire form), are cast aside to make room for Nets-
knmm's Ascension. This work, we understand, has been
long published, though not known, in Germany. The
words seem to be a translation from Klopstock, and em-
brace that porion of the sacred narrative which followed
our Saviour's resurrection. With such a subject it is
scarcely necessary to gay that Neukomm is wholly unable
to grapple. The principal voice parts were intrusted to
Mrs. Knyvett, Mr. Vaughan, And Mr. Machin, who cer-
tainly did not succeed in imparting any animation to their
respective songs. The Ascension was followed by a miscel-
laneous act, in which Grisi sang " Let the bright Sera-
phim ;" Albertazzi a movement from Haydn's 2d Mass ;
and Tamburini a solo from the Strabat Mater of the same
author. We m need not say that the effect of these co
intrinsically po-
salons, beautiful as they are, was heightened by
the contrast. We neglected to notice, that before the per-
formance of the Ascension, a very beautiful hymn in honour
of the Queen, said to be taken from a German melody (date
and author unknown), was performed. It were to be
wished, that if the custom of collecting money after
the performance is continued, the ladies and gentle.
men who hold the plates (for such we must call them in
courtesy) would urge their claims with less persevering im-
portunity, and at any rate abstain from rude observations
and ill-mannered jests on such as do not fe,l themselves
called on to pay more than 12s. for the morning's en-
tertainment.
London, England, 1837-09-21

FOREIGN COMMERCIAL.

The accounts received to-day from the Continent are of the
same tenour as yesterday—that is, upon the whole, favour-
able, and the exceptions are so few that they scarcely can be
taken into consideration. Money is generally easy, and finds its
way in the markets ; there it continues in full employment at
moderate rates, the discount being in many places from 2f to 3i
per cent per annum. In all the principal ports on the Con-
tinent there are a great many vessels taking in cargoes for distant
places, and the merchants seem to trust to the stability of the
present revival in the commercial relations, and are even, in
comparison to last year, extending the sphere of direct under-
takings from their respective ports. The East Indies and the
South American Main are the two regions that at pre-
sent principally occupy their attention. Whether this fea-
ture will tend to decrease the British transit trade with
the produce from those parts, is difficult to settle ; and
the solution of the question deserves more attention than
e at present can give—we will therefore confine ourselves
only to the following brief obscrvntion. The consumption of
the kind of produce that the before-mentioned parts of the
world
offer is yearly with the growing prosperity of' the dif-
ferent countries increasing ; and notwithstanding many more
direct shipments are now effected from the continental markets
than formerly was the case, there seems still to be a fair field
open for our own trade to supply, and that we, for many years
to come, will, as customary, continue to afford the continental
buyers and consumers a better choice than any other market
in the world, and thus secure what business is worth looking for.
At lime there was no alteration in the prices of Cotton,
but the little decline yesterday noticed had given vent to
rather large parcels; the sales amounted to 1,500 bales,
chiefly American. At sale 12 tons of Peruvian Tin were
sold at 80f. per go kilogr., duty paid, being equal to 645. per
cwt. in bond. Coffee is still in good demand, and for a con-
siderable quantity of good ord. Domingo with colour 60f. per
50 kilogr. in bond, being equal to 48s. per cwt., was refused.
The accounts from Champagne and Bourgoyne concerning
the vintage are not so favourable as those from Bordeaux ; the
weather in the two former districts is reported to have for some
time been very bad, and the season being already far advanced
there are fears that the grapes will not ripen, and consequently
the vintage prove a complete failure.
From Antwerp we have reports of the Sugar and Coffee
trade being very brisk, both articles commanding full, and in
some instances better prices.

NEW COURT.

John Norey was indicted for stealing a coat, value 705.,
the property of Charles Jarman. The prosecutor is a
clothier, living at No. 61, West Smithfield. On the even-
ing of the 19th of August the prisoner came into his shop
and requested a piece of list for a pair of garters. Being
busy he could not attend to him at the time. He went
away and said he would call again, and he did so soon
after. While witness was stooping down behind the
counter, the prisoner snatched off the coat and " bolted
out of the shop like a gun." He never recovered the
coat, nor did he see the prisoner any more fOr three weeks,
when he was identified by a little boy who witnessed the
robbery.
Henry Herring, on the afternoon in question, saw the
prisoner run out of the prosecutor's shop with a coat. He
saw and knew him again about three weeks after, and was
the cause of his apprehension.
Mr. CLARKSON examined the depositions of the wit-
nesses, and found that several statements had been made
in Court which did not appear to have been made before
the justices.
The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal.
The COMMON SERGEANT told the prisoner that he would
never have such another lucky escape in the whole course
of his life. Had he been convicted he would certainly
have been transported, as he was well known. The Learned
Judge told him to pray for Mr. Clarkson as long as he
lived, fur he owed his liberty to that Learned Gentleman.
Wm. Bellman (a youth, who at first pleaded Guilty)
was indicted for embezzling and stealing the sum of 181 175.,
the property of Wm. Leuchars, his master. The prisoner
was in the service of the prosecutor. On the 20th of
August he was sent with a check to receive the money in
question, but he never returned. When apprehended he
said he had spent some of the money, and lost some, but he
could not account for the remainder. The cashier of the
bankers proved that the check was paid.—Verdict,
London, England, 1837-09-21

PRIVY COUNCIL.

The Queen held a Privy Council at two o'clock yester-
day afternoon at Windsor Castle.
It was attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Lord Chancellor, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmer-
ston, Lord Glenelg, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of
the Horse, and the Judge Advocate General.
At the Council Parliament was ordered to be further
prorogued from the 2d of October to the 15th of Novem-
ber, and a proclamation was issued, summoning it then to
meet, for the despatch of public business.
A new Great Seal was submitted to her Majesty in
Council and approved of.
The Privy Seal, the Sign Manual, the seals of the Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, and other officials seals,
engraved by Mr. Wyon, were submitted to the Queen in
Council, and were also approved of.
The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Coun-
cil in Waiting.
The Right Hon. Robert Cutler Fergusson, Judge Advo-
cate General, had an audience of the Queen, and submitted
to her Majesty the proceedings of some Courts Martial.
Viscount Torrington and the Hon. Charles Murray were
the Lord and Groom in Waiting, and Colonel Cavendish
(Principal) and Lord Alfred Paget Equerries in Waiting.

TIE ON A POINT OF HONOUR.-
Another year has been tolled into Eternity, yet Time's
pinions are still nerved with their wonted vigour, and his ravages
still inflexibly continuous. With a view, however, to thwart the de-
signs of so implacable an enemy to the Human Hair, H. LABERN
avails himself of the present season to solicit for his Botanic Cream an
accession of patronage from the Nobility, Gentry, and Public.
LABERN'S BOTANIC CREAM has in every encounter, suc-
cessfully contended against Time; and the latter has honourably ca-
pitulated by lending his services to improve the reputation of his rival.
It only remains for the Proprietor to acid, that the Botanic Cream
may be procured from his Perfumery Warehouse, 49, Judd-street,
Brunswick-square ; and from all other respectable Perfumers
throughout the United Kingdom.
* Beware of Counterfeits. Ask for " Labern's Botanic Cream."

directing, _ _

and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
10/., 20/ , or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forwarl the amount in One Note ; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassiag the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not
to overlook these particulars.

SOUTH EASTERN, BRIGHTON, LEWES,
and NEWHANEN RAILWAY.

The Directors have purposely refrained from noticing the " Di-
rect Summary," and other statements lately published, adverse to
the South Eastern Brighton Line. These statements, so exag-
gerated in their character, so hostile in their tone, and so fictitious
in their facts, will be combatted at another time, and in another
arena. It will be for the Committees of Parliament to decide on
the merits of the contending Lines, and the Directors would eon-
skier themselves unworthy the confidence of their Subscribers, by
misemploying their time in entering into a paper war, or otherwise
to notice the productions of engineering partizans, whether exhi-
bited under the anonymous communication of a " Townsman of
Brighton," or under any other character they may in their very
natural anxieties think proper to assume ; but at the same time
they deem it incumbent confidently to assure their Shareholders,
that, embracing all the objects they have in view, and which have
been repeatedly declared in Parliament to be of paramount import-
ance, no Line to Brighton, they firmly believe, can successfully
compete with the South Eastern. This impression will induce the
Directors to persevere in the line of conduct they have adopted,
and which they feel persuaded will ultimately obtain for the South
Eastern, Brighton, Lewes, and Newhaven Railway the sanction of
the Legislature. By order,

In conclusion, the Directors rely firmly on the great improbabi-
lity of the Legislature sanctioning new lines of railways to Ashford
and Dover, after having granted an Act to the South Eastern Rail-
way Company for the formation of a railroad to both of these
towns ; but rather the probability of its adopting the principle of
establishing branches from the 'lain trunks, for which Acts have
already been obtained. - . -

This day was published, illustrated with numerous Wood-cuts,
price 75., bound in cloth, the Second Volume of
/SHE PHILOSOPHY OF HEALTH; or,
an Exposition of the Physical and Mental Constitution of
Man, with a View to the Promotion of Human Longevity and
Happiness.

By SOUTHWOOD SMITH, 31. D.,
Physician to the London Fever Hospital, to the Eastern Dispen-
sary, and to the Jews' Hospital.
A Second Edition of Vol. 1., illustrated with 120 Wood-cuts,
uniformly bound, has also been recently issued, price 7s. Of this
volume, the Foreign Medical Review speaks in the following terms :
" No person of education can peruse the volume already pub-
lished without gratification, and we think it will go far to make
anatomy and physiology what they surely ought to be—popular
studies. No author within our range of reading has so strongly
placed before his readers the great ends to be attained by the pr,•-
servation of health, or those general views which give importance
to the object of hygiene. * # * We have seldom
read anything surpassing in precision, both as to matter and lan-
guage; and the real difficulty in quoting consists in this, that we
should not know where to leave off. Familiar as many circum-
stances mentioned are to all medical readers, they are presented
even to them in a form which gives them almost the air of novelty.
The structure and functions of the human body are explained with
a fulness that obviates any accusation of the description being
superficial, and yet with a brevity which must prevent any intelli-
gent reader from charging the author with being tedious. We
know of no work in which so much general and special anatomy is
conveyed in so small a compass, and so intelligibly and so agreeably."

WEST KENT.

BROMLEY, WEDNESDAY.—This morning Messrs. TYN-
DALE and BOSANQUET sat at the White Hart Hotel, Brom-
loy, for the purpose of revising the differeet lists of voters
in this district of the western division.

(Before Mr. TYNDALE.)
Mr. Lansdowne Hull, of Foots Cray, was objected to by
:be Liberals.

It was proved that the notice of objection was served
upon Fanny Peters, the servant of the claimant's tenant.
Mr. TYNDALE said the service Was bad, as the Act of
Parliament required personal service on the tenant in
possession.

Mr. Hull's name was therefore retained.
Mr. Juhn Hull, brother of the above claimant, was
objected to.
The objector swore that he served Mr. John Hull's
tenant, whose name he stated was Mr. John Plaskett.

Mr. MILLER called a witness to prove that the tenant's
name was not John, but Thomas Henry Plaskett.
Mr. TYNDALE said he should not like to decide the case
upon such loose grounds, and Mr. Miller then proved-th•
claimant's qualification, and his name was retained.
(Bofore Mr. BOSANQUET.)
Mr. James Alexander, of Bromley, was objected to by
the Liberals.

The notice of objection, it was proved, was served upon
the claimant's wife at a different house to that in respect cf
which Mr. Alexander claimed to vote.

Mr. MILLER objected to the service as being contrary to
what was required by the Reform Act.
Mr. BOSANQUET consulted with Mr. Tynd de, and de-
cided that the service was good.
No support being offered in favour of the qualification,
the name was expunged.
Thomas Greenaway and several others claimed to vote
as trustees of the Independ n chapel at Bromley.
From the trust-deed, whien was put in and read, it ap-
p; ared that the claimants had the control of the pear-rents,
which amounted th's year to 621., and the pr*o is year
to 90/. They were also appointed to receive voluntary
subscriptions for the maintenance of the chapel, which,
added to the pew-rents, amounted last year to 1141. The
building was mortgaged for 1,0001. at five per cent. interest ;
but, after deducting that annually, it was contended that
there was sufficient qualification to give the nine trustees
the power of voting. There was no direction in the deed
to appoint a minister.
Mr. Miller said there was not sufficient in point of value
to give the parties the right of voting, as the pew rents last
year were but 62/., and the incumbrance on the chapel 501.
Mr. Case contended that it did not follow that the pews
would not be all shortly let, when the rents would amount
to 110/. At present only a portion of them were let.

In answer to Mr. Bosanquet, the claimant Greenaway
said that there were free sittings in the chapel, and the per-
sons who occupied them were those who voluntarily sub-
scribed towards the maintenance of the chapel, and thereby
considerably increased the funds.
The claims were allowed.
London, England, 1837-09-28

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(Tins DAY.)

There is nO4 6oia fide, businesi doing in our
mercantile markets generalij', e d licit little of a private kind:
There is nothing particularly lively, and speet!Ai.ors have paused
in their operations. They are not, however, atterriplikty to
tpaliie, but hold for higher prices. Most articles of mer-
cliat.lite etnitintie Oral in their quotations. The chief of the
hitsinesk doing is in kast and West India produce.
The impgrts of the pelt of iiotidOn cohtinue slender, though
thej 41'4 a little larger than they weft', We t nowt at this
season expect null j te6re vessels. We have -no fresh West
India produce added to one stock, and but very little East
India ; the principal being 7,000 bags of Mauritius Sugar.
The siott of ibis article previous to this additiotl rrAs greater
than at the same period !aft year. There still contiuttr.s a
considerable deficiency in tiie vtoel4 of British Plantation
Sugar. From the North the principal iteitit ore 8 400 bars
U~vhtlish Iron, ar.d 40,000 Archangel Mats. But little
Tallow, and little Irish produce.
We have a great many titthli..l sales for this week, so far as
it has already advanced. Those looked forward to with in-
tettst beyond this week are those of Cotton and Indigo.
liinds of raw and refined Sugars continue
quiet. The purchaser; are all consumers, and our last quota-
tions are unaltered and very firm.

COFFEE —MI kinds continue languid, owing to their corn-
paratire high prices, and yet there is no avmptom or their
being lower. Jamaica, of qudity from middling to good
middling, frtehes 102 s. to 118 s. There arc inquiries after
Foreign Coffee, but to transactions of moment, as the holders
will not bring it forward.

For Tea, the holders continue to ask an advance on sale
prices, but cannot obtain them. They are drat, however, in
their demand.

SPICES. —More business is doing in Pepper and Pimento
than in any other spice. Prices of all are firm. Speculators
are not so eager after Pepper as they were.
INDIGO. —The demand is slacker for all kinds, but prices are
unbending.
There is a brisk business doing in Hides and Skins, but the
large stocks prevent prices from advancing.
Tallow continues languid at 395. 6d. to 395. 9d. for P. Y. C.
on the spot.
Loowoov.—There is more doing in Jamaica at 61. to
61. 10s.

Hors.—To-day there was less doing, but yesterday's prices
were maintained. The duty is 180,0001.
SILK.—In East India descriptions a good business is pass-
ing for consumption, and prices are looking up. Italian sorts
are not brisk.

TIMBER.—For both Canadian and Northern Timber there is
a brisk demand just now, and prices are inclined to advance.
METALS.—Spelter is flat at 131. Nothing fresh' in any
other description under this denomination.
COALS.—The arrivals are small; the business doing slen-
der ; and prices without any alteration worth notice.
On..s.—Both Seed and Fish are flat, but prices are unal-
tered. There is a large sale of Southern to-morrow.
London, England, 1837-09-28

EAST KENT.

CANTERBURY, SEPTEMBER 2.7.—This morning both the
Revising Barristers proceeded with the revision of the lists
in this district.

Jonathan Bundock, the trustee of a chapel in the parish
of St. Margaret, was opposed by the Conservative agents
as not being in the actual occupation of the premises, ac-
cording to the 23d section, nor in the receipt of the rents
and profits to his own use, according to the 26th section of
the Reform Act.

After hearing the arguments on both sides the Court de-
cided against his claim. _

John Cowper, of the parish of St. Gregory, was objected
to by the Conservative agents. He had entered into an
agreement for the sale of his freehold : part of the purchase
money was paid, and the deeds were prepared, but not
signed. He was to remain in possession of the land till the
remainder of the purchase money should he paid.
COURT—As he is still possessed of the legal estate, and
in the receipt of the rents and profits, his name must be re-
tained.
London, England, 1837-09-28

TronSHIP-STREET.

NEW MODE OF BEGGTN6.—Yesterday Jeremiah Joy,
wearing a cast-off jacket of a private of the Spanish Legion,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Grove, charged with
having solicited charity by representing to the populace the
mode of punishment on the tread Mill pursued at the House
of Correction.

Daniells, an of attached to the Mendicity Society,
said that he and his brother officer Chapman, in their pro-
gress to apprehend sturdy beggars, came up to the priso-
ner, who had collected a crowd of several persons, in whose
presence he was describing the way in which prisoners at
the treadmill in the House of Correction were employed
during the time of their imprisonment. He represented
the attitudes of the prisoners by raising his hands and step-
ping with his feet, to the great delight of his audience, and
in a measure to his own profit, since many, believing that
he was one of the unfortunate sufferers who had returned
from Spain, had compassion upon his misfortunes and sup-
plied him with money.
Mr. GROVE I have no doubt that he has been frequently
a performer at the treadmill, so that he was a very efficient
person to describe its operations.
The officer said it was the truth. The prisoner had been
committed once from Marylebone and twice from Marlbo-
rough-street.
Mr. GROVE—How long is it since you were last in
prison ? The prisoner said he only left the House of
Correction that day.
Mr. GROVE—Where did you get that coat on your back ?
Prisoner—lt was given me by a person who has served in
Spain.
Mr. GROVE told the prisoner that he was evidently an
imposter, and that by wearing the coat of one of the Spanish
Legion be was endeavouring to move the feelings of the
public, who viewed him as one of those unkrtunate men
who had been in Spain. He told the prisoner if he was
brought there again he should be sent to prison for three
months, and if a third time for 12 months.
The prisoner was sent for one month to the House of
Correction.
