MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, FEB. 18.

. Isaac Newton, and Charlotte his wife, of the Westminster
Central Mart, were indicted for. obtaining, by false pretences,
from 'Jane Nugent, the sum of 7s.
The facts of. this ease have already repeatedly appeared beo,
fore the public in our police reports, and a brief detail of the
evidence, its stated by the prosecutrix_, will suffice. She
stated, that in passing through the Strand, her attention
was' directed by placer& to the above office, where, on en.
tering, shoo saw the clerk, who referral her to , Mrs. Newton._
The witness was then recommended to Lady St. John, having
previously paid the requited, and, as she was told, mato.
wary fee (seven shillings) to the female defendant. On
going to .the house of her Ladyship, she found the situation
was quite unsuited to her view ; and she was sent by the
defendant to Mr. Moore, of Cainberwell where she found
the office was to wait upon, and wash for, nine children.
Finding, on her, return to the 4' Mart," that another young
woman had obtained .the situation she had been,. seeking for,
she complained; and words- ensuing, Mr. Newton abruptly
desired her to quit his premises. The Rev. Mr. Forster stated
that the situation required to be filled by Lady St. John was of
a menial description.
Mr. CoWELL, for the defence, contended no fraud had been
Made out, and called Mr. Moore, of Camberwell, who deposed
that he had live savants in his establishment, and that the pro,.
secutrix &dined the situation offered her.
The Chairman, F. CoNsr, Esq. summed up to the Jury,
who, after twenty minutes' consultation, pronounced the de-
fendants
Nut Guilty.

We have already stated the arrival in London
of the Duke of SAN Loacrizo, late Ambassador
from the Court of Madrid to that of Paris.
The enthusiasm with which he was received
shows the popularity of the cause of Spain in
this country. Another instance of the popular
feeling occurred during the representation of
Romeo and Juliet, at Covent•garden, on Monday
night. The highly wrought description of Queen
Mab, given by Mercutio, contains the following
passage :

" Sometimes she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting tbreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscades, Spanish blades."
The words ,Spanieh blades, pronounced by Mr.
JONES, who played the part, produced an elec-
tric and instantaneous effect. The idea, asso.
dating with the cause of Spain, was eagerly
seized by the audieuce,and the house rung with
plaudits.

THANKS TO Ma. WALLACE.--The talent and
zeal shown by this Gentleman, lately the Vice.
President of the Board of. Trade, to the trading
and commercial interests of the country, have long
excited the admiration and gratitude of all persons
connected with them. Among other services, he
brushed away at once 300 musty and perplexing
Acts of Parliament, and thus in a proportionate
degree unshackled the trade of the kingdom.—
—These services have been fully appreciated
in various places, and yesterday (Friday, Feb.
14), pursuant to a requisition, a respectable meet.
ing assembled at the Exchange, for the purpose
of passing a vote of thanks to him, which was
carried unanimously .---(P(Ninouth Tekgraph.)
The French colonists, appear by the annexed
paragraph, to form a very curious notion of the
mother country—a banishment to which for life
they number among the punishments for the
worst offences :
