The Court was occupied the entire of Friday in
trying trifling cases of felony. Amongst the other
prisoners: there was John Lawless, a noted offender,
celebrated for taking a part in all the riots in and
about Dublin. lie was found guilty of stealing two
half crown 3, and sentenced to three months' im-
prisonment.
The only case in which there was any interest
or amusement was the trial of a man named Bryan
Greer, charged with stealing two glass goblets.
When be was placed at the bar, and asked
vas he guilty or not of the offence for which
'le was given in charge, he said " Guilty"—No
—Yes, I am guilty of taking them with Dan. Shee-
han's leave.
Clerk of the Crown—Are you guilty or not ?
Prisoner—Don't I tell you I am of taking them
with Dan. Sheehan's leave.
Daniel Sheehan sworn—On the 14th of May I
saw the prisoner going out of my uncle's shop, and
as I suspected he had stolen some of the glass,
said to him, Bryan, I want to brush your clothes,
they look dirty—very well says he, do if you please,
so I brushed his clothes ; I wanted to feel if he
had any glass in his pockets, and when I did not find
them there, I gave him a crack with the brush on
the hat, and I heard the smash it made.—( Laughter.)
—Here- it is you see, it is quite broken with tke
crack.—(Laughter.)
Court—Do you wish to ask the witness any
questions ? Prisoner—By dad I do, Sir, plenty—
turn about here Daniel—come now, by virtue of
your oath, wasn't there a girl in the habit of calling
on you. You know Dan. she had a grey cloak on
her. Did you hide from e'er a girl, Dan. ?
Witness—l did, what of that.
Prisoner—You see, my Lord, that girl used to
call upon Dan. She was there on the morning of
Friday. Wasn't she Dan.?—(Laughter.)—She calla
upon me, and, says she, where's Dan.? I knew'
Dan. didn't like to see her, and says Ito her, Ma'am,
Dan. is doing something. Well, then, says she, tell
Dan. that he owes me a few shillings, and, if he
doesn't send me a few shillings, he must send me a
few shillings' worth, or I will never come near him
again ; for you see, my Lord, she used to come to
him every other morning. So I went and told
Dan., and he said, " me," swearing out
to
big oath, this will come to my uncle's ears. So he
brings me up stairs, and he points out the two
goblets, and desires tne to take these things. Now,
you see, I didn't take them away that evening, nor
till the next, when, as I was going out, Dan. began
thy-larking with the brush, and be broke one of the
girl's goblets.—(Laughter.)—Now, you see, he bid
me steal the tumblers, and what could Ido ? For
his uncle told me to do every thing he bid me,
whether right or wrong.—(Laughter.)
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced
to four months' imprisonment.—Dublin Morning

BIRTH OF GEORGE IV.—ln the present
melancholy state of the Kixo's health, it may be curious to
peruse the Court account of his blab. That account is m
follows :—" On the 12th of August, 1762, at seven o'clock
in the evening•, her Majesty (Queen CHARLOTTE) was
safely delivered of a Prince in St. James's Palace. Her
MAJESTY felt indisposed about two o'clock in the afternoon,
when an express was sent to the Princess Dowager (mo-
ther of GEORGE III.), who arrived at the Palace at four.
Orders were sent to the Great Officers of State, who im-
mediately attended. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY,
the Dukes of DzvoNsmtux and RUTLAND, the Lords
ROWICEE, HUNTINGDON, TALBOT, HALIFAX, BUTE,
and MARSIIAM, and all the Ladies of the Bed-chamber and
the Maids of Honour, were present. Her MAJESTY'S
midwife was Mrs. DRAPER; but Dr. HUNTER remained
in waiting, lest the services of his medical skill should be
wanting. The person who communicated the joyful news
to the KING of the birth of an heir-apparent, and of her
MAJESTY'S safety, received a present of Ave hundred pounds.
Immediately on the announcement of this event, whilst the
cannons were firing in the Park, a long train of waggons,
guarded by grenadiers, was passing down St. James's-street,
containing the treasures of the Hermione frigate, one of the
richest captures recorded in the history of the British
Navy. His MAJESTY and the Nobility were invited to the
windows over the gateway of the Palace to view the pro-
cession, and joined in the acclamations of the people—
For the gratification of the public, it was announced, be-
fore the young Prince was twelve days old, that his Royal
Highness would be seen at St. James's from one until
three o'clock on Drawin% Room days. It is remarkable
that the birth of the Prince of WALES should have hap-
pened, reckoning by the old style, exactly forty-eight years
from the accession of the present Royal Family."

The general curiosity that has been for some
km past actively directed towel* all matters concerning
the Russian and Turkish Empires, will derive much satis-
faction from the work of the late JAMES WxnerEa, Esq.
of the Inner Temple, which has just appeared, entitled
" Travels through the Crimea, Turkey, and Egypt." Mr.
WEBSTER, a young Scotchman, was distinguished for his
attainments and for his ardent love of travel, to which
feeling he feel a premature victim. The variety of cu-
rious intgligence comprised in this posthumous record of
his enthusiastic labours is fully commensurate with the
extent of country traversed ; and some new and singular
details are presented respecting the last moments of the
Emperor ALEXANDER, and likewise an account of the
alarming fluctuations in the state of feeling and opinion
manifested in the Turkish capital at the critical period im-
mediately succeeding the " untoward event" at Navarin.
In our Paper, a few days since, we noticed
the 4, Family Library" as containing the continuation of
BELOE'S admirable translation of lIIRODOT Us. We take
the opportunity of rectifying the error, it being the
" Family Classical Library," published by Messrs. Con-
au RN and BENTLEY, to which we intended to call the at-
tention of our readers, and which contains the English
version of the writings of " the Father of History," as
he is termed by Cicxuo.
A great metropolitan had some months since a
rencontre with a dog. which bit severely the Bishop's 11,
is his friends affirmed. When the 'natter was recounted
to the KING, his MAJESTY inquired with a smile how it
had fared with the dog?—Marring Paper. ,
