IPSWICH.

The Committee assembled at the usual hour.
At the close of Saturday's proceedings Mr. Tune!' was in a majority
of one.

The scrutiny was continued, and the Tories succeeded in striking off
the rote of Mr. Lawrance, clerk to the Justices, on the ground that at
the election he acted as Deputy Mayor, though he had refused to
receive the two guineas to which he was entitled for the service.
They then objected to the vote of John Beard, on the ground of his
being a parish constable.
At the time our Reporter left, Mr. Tuffnell was in a majority of one,
and the Committee had taken time to consider whether the election should
be declared null and void or not.

BELFAST.
The scrutiny into Lord 'Belfast's votes still continues, and will occupy
a considerable time.

CRIMINAL COURT-(T111S DAY).

OLD CO URT.

The Sessions opened this morning at Eleven o'Clock, before the Right
Hon. the Loan MAYOR, the RECORDER, Alderman Sir C. MARSHALL,
Alderman PRICE, the Sheriffs, and other civic authorities.
The Grand Jury having been impannelled,
The RECORDRR said—During the interval of three weeks, since the
last Session, 9•?.8 prisoners had been committed for trial, and twelve more
would shortly be added. There did not, however, appear to he many
cases of a singular nature. There was a charge of arson, that is, of
burning a dwelling-house (which by a recent Act was a capital crime)
which would occupy a considerable time. The charge was made against
an individual who carried on business as a linen-draper in the house,
chiefly on the ground that shortly before the fire he had removed cer-
tain goods which afterwards appeared ii his account of the damage he
had sustained. Of course the case would rest principally on circum-
stantial evidence, and as it was of a rather complicated description, an
officer of the Court would attend the Grand Jury with the depositions.
There was also a charge of coining, by colouring a sixpence, so as to
make it pass for a half-sovereign. Under the last statute relating to
coining, the sixpence so dealt with, came distinctly within the words
" counterfeit coin." There was a charge of secreting a letter, agains
a persen employed by the Post-office, an offence, which by an Act, the
Ist of her present Majesty's reign was, felony, whether the letter did or
did not contain any thing valuable. Several cases of manslaughter,
cutting and maiming, burglary, perjdry, &c., appeared in the calendar,
but though of a highly serious nature, they were unhappily of too fre-
quent and ordinary occurrence to require particular remark.
The Grand Jury then proceeded to the discharge of their duties.

embarkation for Canada, are to be augmented to 600 rank and
file. The establishment of the depots of these regiments will,
consequently, be reduced to 139 rank and file, being an in-
crease upon the whole of 80 men to each corps. The second
battalion of the Coldstream Guards, also under orders for
Canada, are to be armed with muskets with percussion locks.
We are informed that carabines, with percussion locks, are
about to be issued to the cavalry generally. It has been stated
in a morning paper, that the 86th Regiment is to proceed to
Dublin, and that the 54th Regiment will be relieved in India
by the 21st Regiment. No orders to the above effect have
been issued to the 86th Regiment, and the 54th Regiment
will be relieved by the 4th Foot.— United Service Gazette.
