LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

These S. ssion4 were held this morning before the Right
Hon. the Loan MAYOR, RECORDER, Sheriffs, and Alder-
men THORP, BROWN, FAREDROTHER, and ANSLEY.
The Sessions papers, as Mr. Justice PARK observed
at the Hertford Assizes, presented but "short commons"
for the gentlemen of the long robe, there being only six
charges of assault to be divided between thirteen Counsel.
The Rzcoansa, in his address to the Grand Jury, said
there was no .case in the calendar for the City that called
for any particular observation. Although numerous they
were entirely of the ordinary kind, and not attended with
any aggravated circumstances.
Henry Barron was indicted for assaulting William
Young.
The prosecutor said, I am clerk to Basil Montague,
Esq. On the 27th of July I had occasion to call on a
friend at the Hand-in •Hand Fire Office. My friend
walked out with me, and us we passed along Farringdon-
street (late Fleet-market), I thought I would go into a
jeweller's shop and ask the value of a ring and key that I
had in my pocket, and at the same time ascertain whether
they were gold or not, as I had doubts on the subject.—
(Laughter.)—Accordingly I went into the shop of the
defendant's muster, and made the necessary enquiries of
the defendant, who replied that the articles were rubbish,
and a " pretty fool" 1 must be to ask the value of them,
and added that he would kick me out of the shop.
Rao:mina—Well, did he kick you ?
Prosecutor—Yes Sir, on an " unnatural" place.—
(Laughter.)
Rzcoausa—Have you any witnesses.
. . .

Prosecutor—l have. a witness named King, but he is
ju.t stepped into King-street—(Laughter)—on a little
business, but if you will have the goodness to wait a few
moments he will be sure to be here.—(Laughter.)
Racoanatt—The Court cannot wait, and called on the
defendant for his answer to thy charge.
Defendant—lf any assault has • been committed, it was
by the prosecutor. He came into the shop and abused me
in the most gross manner. He said that the bills in the
window announcing that the stock was selling off, was a
" dead take in," and atter my telling him that I would not
purchase his ring, which was only petit d'or, he struck
me a blow on the arm with his umbrella, which frac.
Lured it.

IlEcoßnxit—Did you apply to a medical gentleman for
advice? Defendant—Yes, Sir, I did, six weeks after-
wards. —(Laugh ter )
The defendant here became very clamorous for any
gentleman of the medical profession who might hap-
pen to be present, to come forward and examine the
fractured member. No gentleman, however, presenting
himself, the RZCORDRIV inquired if there was any person
who could speak to the injury of which the derendant
complained ?—A young man here stepped into the wit-
ness.box, and, after corroborating the defendant's state-
ment, said I saw the prosecutor strike the defendant with
his umbrella.

RECORDER—Did you see the arm after it was frac-
tured? Witness—Yes, Sir, there was a large " bump"
upon it the size ofa walnut.—(Laughter.)
Recommit—And how long did the swelling continue?
Witness—l dare say nearly an hour.--(Laughter.)
The Jury without hesitation returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
The other cases, which were not of the slightest inte-
rest, were disposed of by twelve o'clock, and the Court
afterwards was occupied in hearing parish appeals.

The Russian Envoy Extraordinary, Prince
Tosorsior, and suite, left the Pu'tens), Hotel, Albemarle-
street, yesterday, for Brighton, to present to the KINU An
autograph letter from the Emperor of Russo., congratu-
lating his MAJZSTY on his accession to the throne.

The guillotine at Paris, now proposed to have
its operation suspended, from the new law about to be in-
troduced to abolish the punishment of death, is said to be
the same which was used at the decapitation of the unfor-
tunate Kula, QUREN, and AlanAmu, and, by an express
order of Roussemaux, the number of pounds weight of
lead attached to the fatal knife are equal to the number of
the departments in France.—Rae Wilson's Travels.
THE BOURBON RACES.—It was rather A
clumsy compliment to offer a race-bill to the Bourbon fa-
mily at Weymouth. The family is too famous for running
and carrying off the plate. Their race is now at an end.
The transposition of a letter in the goal would express
what they have seemed to run for. There are too many,
not of the wisest and best among us, who seem to commit
the same mistake of making the gaol the goal of their exer-
tions.—Examiner.

Le Temps, in mentioning that the Archbi-
shop of PARIS left that city three days ago, for what place
was not known, must be wrong in its statement that LA.
TM, the runaway Archbishop of ItuzzMs, is at Fribourg;
he escaped in an English packet boat, having been secreted
in the ladies' cabin ; and it is understood at Bath that
LATH. is now sojourning with " Bishop " Bar-wits, at the
Prior-park Roman Catholic College, near that city. Cu-
riously enough, LATH, was the prelate that proposer, the
law of sacrilege, and yet, on fleeing from his Bishopric,
he took as much of its property as he could—but it was
stopped on the road ! It is confidently believed in Paris
that these prelates—those of Paris and Rheims, offered
to absolve CIIARLRS X. from his oath ; and that, when
the Government finds itself stronger, the impeachment of
those clerical traitors against the Constitution and the
rights of the people will be proposed. It is as confidently
declared that
.oiere is no want of strong and direct evidence
against them.—Morning Herald.

MURDER AT POPLAR.—A respectable Jury
assembled yesterday at the Steam-packet public house,
Limehouse, to investigate the cause of the death of
EI.IANOII. AVCAKTHY, who it was rumoured had been
murdered by Mu:lulu. WCAsyrrit, her husband, on &-
turay evening last The deceased Was the second wife of
Nl4CAwrirr, a labourer in the West India Dock, who has
constantly treated the deceased with the most brutal vio-
lence. After some deliberation the Jury announced their
rdict—" Wilful Murder against Moan,. MTAisTur."

PUBLIC DINNER AT MANCHESTER.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

MANCHESTER, MONDAY, SEPT. 11

The ruling order of the day here is bustle ; the
Duke is expected every moment from the seat of
Lord Wilton, to make a visit to several of the prie-
eipal manufactories in the town. Yesterday his
Grace attended divine service at Prestwich Church,
an the road to which, long before Sol had doffed his
night-cap, hundreds of the good folks of Maiichestet
sere trudging. Long previous to the commence-
ment of the service the church ►vas completely
crammed, and countless were the sorrowful faces of
those who, after having walked several miles in the
hope of sitting in the same church with the con-
queror of Napoleon, were ob:iged to take their de-
parture without so great a gratification. Though
disappointed in this expectation, they were deter-
mined at least to have a sight of so great a men,
and for this purpose they stood rank-and-file in that
part of the church-yard through which his Grace
had to pass. The Duke arrived at the church, ac-
companied by Lord and Lady Wilton, and other
distinguished personages, about half•past ten o'clock.
Immediately on alighting from the carriage his Grace
was heartily cheered by the populace, to whom he
repeatedly bowed, proceeding up the church-yard
with his hat in his hand. On entering the
church his Grace was conducted to the seat of
the Wilton family. At the conclusion of the ser•
vice his Grace, on leaving the church, was again
cheered, but not so enthusiastically as we were led
to expect he would have been. But to return to
what is taking place here to-day. As early as ten
o'clock Market-street, the Exchange, and other
parts through which his Grace had to pass on enter-
tug the town, were studded with ;;coupes of the
lower orders, anxiously watching every movement.
Several of the Life Guards were in readiness to
keep the streets clear, and usher his Grace into the
town.

The Duke arrived about twelve o'clock, and
visited the manufactories of Messrs. Birley and Co.,
Messrs. Sharpe, Hill, and Co., Mr. Vernon Ryle's
silk-mills, arid several other places. His Grace, on
entering the town, was most heartily cheered by the
hundreds who had assembled to view his entrance.
Some slight hisses proceeded from the mouths of a
disaffected few, which were immediately drowned
by the overpowering cheers of hundreds, and the
parties from whom they proceeded, not finding their
purposes answered, slunk back with no appetite for
the repetition of their discordant yells. Great dissa-
tisfaction appears to exist in the minds of the lower
order.,in consequence oft he tickets for the dinner being
at the enormous price of two guineas instead of one.
This dissatisfaction has also extended itself to the
middling classes, who feel themselves slighted, and
say this arrangement has been entered into for the
purpose, if possible, of excluding them. The sen-
sation caused in the town by the Duke of 'Welling-
ton's visit, and the opening of so great a facility to
commerce and quick travelling, can better be
imagined than described. Wednesday, to use a
town phrase, is to be a strict holiday, and so far are
the lower classes determined to keep it up as such,
that (and we have this from a most authentic source)
they have for several weeks been working over-
hours in order to have this day to themselves. The
masters, likewise (a word much in vogue here), have
not been idle; they seem determined also to work
over-time, and by that means replenish their purse
with the needful on this occasion ; they—but we
cannot say nothing loath—have paid their two
guineas; a dear bargain, at least, to see all the sights.
Until a very late hour to-day (a period when it was
impossible to puichase tickets), we had been led to
suppose every accommodation would beshewn us. On
our arrival in the town we were informed that only five
places had been reserved, and those were for the
Provincial Press. This space was then extended to
room for eight, and now at the eleventh hour we
have word sent us, that unless we have purchased
(a measure at the onset we considered unnecessary)
tickets fur the dinner, we cannot be admitted into
any other part of the house Max behind
,the stage
box on the right hand site after dinner. This being
the determined course of proceedings of the all-en-
lightened, discriminating, and accomplished Borough-
reeve and Committee of Manchester, we have
thought it right not to humour their caprice and ap-
petite for filthy lucre to far as to purchase one of
their two panel bargains, and should we fall short
from others in our description of the dinner, we trust
our readers will attribute it not to a fear of the ex-
poises that might be incurred (for our Reporter was
desired to procure the best information he could,
and was unlimited as to his expenses) but from
principle.
