for Bengal and China.

On Tuesday the dispatches for Bengal by the ship Coldstream
were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Purser
of that ship.
On board the Ainerican ship Meteor, Captain Cobh, which
sailed from New York on the 24th of May, and arrived at
Liverpool Juue 24, they had radishes to eat every day during
the passage. A box which made part of the hen-coop attached
to the companion way, with holes in the bottom, was filled
with earth. The radishes, fit to eat when got at New York,
were taken up for use as they were wanted. The box was lash.
ed to the stanchions on the quarterdeck, and a lid, to be put
down in case of rough weather.

OLD-BAILEY SESSIONS.—This morning, Wil-
liam Banbury, a respectable youth, aged 17, was
indicted for stealing a Barometer and Clock, the
property of Messrs. Luke Hansard and Co.,
Printers to the House of Commons. Mr. BRO..
DERICK stated the case for the prosecution. Mr.
Luke Hansard, and several of his patrons and
servants, were examined as to the security of
the premises, which are situated in Great Turn-
stile, Holborn, on the Ist of June, the even-
ing before the robbery, and they all declared
them to be perfectly safe, and no person could
have ingress but by forcing the door or window.
A person of the name of Ryder saw the windows
of the premises open about five in the morning,
and a person lurking about ; he was induced
to go down and look in, when he saw a lad
inside, who, he supposed, was in the em-
ploy of the prosecutor, yet thinking all was
not right, he alarmed the family. Shortly
after this the prisoner was observed by
three persons walking in a hurried manner to-
wards Soho, and their suspicions being excited,
they took hitn into custody, with the barometer
in his possession, near to which spot the clock
was found.—The property was identified by Mr.
Hansard.--Mr. Justice HOLROYD summed up
and observed, that owing to an informality
in the indictment, the capital part of the
charge must be done away, and the only ques-
tion was, whether the prisoner was or was not
the thief ?—The Jury retired for about twenty
minutes, and returned a verdict—Guilty of steal-
ing the Barometer, value only 39 shillings.

Jay, the King's Postilion, was yesterday ac-
quitted at the Old Bailey. The appearance of the youth is very
prepossessing, and we understand his parentage and connec.
tions are respectable. A trial which occupied the greatest part
of the forenoon has prevented us from giving an account of
that of Jay. We understand, however, that circumstances
transpired, tending to shew the necessity of looking sharply
after some of the persons employed in the po:ice of the me.
