.Yesterday the Sessions commenced at the Ses-
sions !louse, Clerlienwell, before W. WATIorI,
Eby. Chairman, and a full bench of Magistrates.

Tun KING V. THE PARISH OF HAMPSTEAD.

. _
This s;;s an indictment against the parish of
flampstead for not repairing tote toad leading
Aron) the'fourth mile stone towards LonclOn.
. Mr. Cti-sWnob for the defendants contended,
that. tl; °ugh in common cases parishes. were liable
for.the repair of roads, ve,t the general rale did
not apply to the present case; as, by an article of
Parliament passed as I.ollg ago as. 1737, the Com-
missioners of the Hampstead and trust
ware hound to repair the road in "cpiestion Ott re-
cOvitig 1001. a-year front the parish of 'Limp-
stead, which sum had been regularly.paid up to
thy present time. The Conirnissioners therefore,
and not the parish, he contended, ;vete the parties
liable to indictment.

W. GURNEY fCr the prosecution, controded that
the parish, by the general law of the land, were
liable, and to the parish it was that the public had
to loa,k, tio agreeinciat come to het weetethent an .1
intliyidnals, he sob-v.:it/v(1, could do away that

'11)e. Cl/Airily:to (Jr. tt7,vrsoN), declared hi 3
opinion to be that tiothiog bdt express Act of
Pallidiaent could exempt the parish.; in the pre-,
seat case therc was nmle such, and therefore, the
parish was 11.41de.

CRITICAL ACUMEN.

The Horning- Chronicle wishes, it wcittla appear,
to distinguish itself as mhch by the truth and,
justice Of its dramatic criticism as of its politics.
In itS critiquerof the play of Hamlet, it Says,

" Miss Stephens was most interesting in .her performance,
of Ophelia. '.fiche appears to have suffered iii health, but the
very delicacy of her appearance added to the senuctive swert•
arse• of./ter voice, in the plaintive and 'wild melodies which.
she 'ladle! sing:"'"

The pzt•t of Ophelia teas perfoimed by Mist
Mathews, who is therefore the "delicate" and
health-impaired Miss STEPHENS of the Morning
Chronicle;—but what ears must thi's Midas of a
Critic have had, to mistake the melodiei of. Miss
MATitnws for those of the Lady whose '' sedne.,
ti c sweetness" he has so erroneously eulogised

of Berkeley-square, a few (lays since; in order to

QUEEN-SQUARE.

.0111:11A-HOUSI.: DISTUTt ----Ahraitatn Furtado,
the Stage-tnatiager of the Opera-house, charged
'Ale::anderFerlandis with assaulting him behind
the scenes, of Saturday night last. Mr. Furtado
stated, that Mr. Ferlaudis wa:.iliataboy player -at
the Opera, and hitsband to 11!adanie Ferlandis ;
and that when not engaged in liiS musical 'ahours,
he was in the habit of going behind the scenes and
creating considerable riot and confusion. This
had been done so repeatedly, that Mr. Waters at
laSt gave Mr. Furtado po,it ire orders not allow
Mr. Furlandis to go behind the scenes any more,
and if he.persisted in doing so, to have him taken
into custody. On Saturday, however, he appear-
ed again as usual, and loudly complained of Ma-
dame Sessi hating orders, and of their having
bten refused to hit.n. He then took Mr. Furtado
by the collar, shook him violently, and challenged
him to fight the nest day (Smithy). This was
resisted by Mr. Furtado, who had no personal
animosity towards the• musician ; he acted-gra-
tuitonsly for M. Waters, and instead of prose-
cuting for the assault, he only tvished to he se •
cure from personal outrage for the future.
Mr. Feriand:s then- expressed his regret, that
from momentary passion he had acted with so
much violence, and his readiness to-apologize for
tvii3t. lit: had done, and to give the most positive
pledges for the future. Mr. Furtado said, that
apologies and pledges had been so often Made,
and so often broken, that he now insisted on
sureties being given for the preservation of the
peace. Mr. Ferlandis's personal security for 1501.
was then received; the Magistrates expressing
the hope that he would profit by this lenity, and
act difterently for the future.

was connected with an institution, 'called " The
Provident Sisters," meeting at " The hope''

ceipts of the Society, the stun in question had
been drawn, and the prisoner was deputed by the
stewards to deposit the money in the hands of Mr.
Calvert, for the purpose of eing funded. This
he affected to do, and upon th 6 next meeting of
the Society presented the receipt, with the forg.
ing of which he now stands charged.—He was re-
manded for another examination.

ESSEX ASSIZES.

Aluapeas.—Thonas Turner and William Pratt
were indicted tar the wilful murder of Henry
Trigg, at Berden, in this county.
These two prisoners were tried and convicted at
Hertford of larcenies, and while in prison there
they made confession at the murder for which they
were now arraigned. The circumstances of this
case have been detailed in this Paper.--They were
both, found guilty.
William Seymour was indicted for the wilful
murder of William Belsham, at Mahlon, in this
county, on the 25th day of October. Verdict—

At the Essex Assizes, Thomas Scandling, one
of the persons concerned in the wilful murder of
John Bolding, of West Hum,. on the 20th of
May, 1810, was found guilty, and sentenced to
be hung on Saturday morning ; John Field, for
stealing a ewe sheep, the property of Mr. T
L. Pole Wellesley ; Gringley, IV. Price, and
John Brown, for robbing the house of Mr. W.
Alerrington, farmer, of Buttsbury, during Di-
vine Service, on the 29th of January, have like-
wise been capitally convicted.

We are sorry to observe, that yesterday, a dis-
position to riot was evinced, and considerable
crowds were collected at different parts of the
town, particularly on the Deanside Brae. The
Magistrates, with the utmost promptitude, sent
for two troops of Draghons, from Hamilton, who
arrived in the course of the day, and paraded the
streets, where it was supposed any outrage was in-
tended. Every thing having remained quiet, we
trust the good sense of the inhabitants will render
unnecessary any hither application of the military
force. The legal and constitutional mode of op-
posing the measure, to which the country seems
decidedly hostile, is, by Petition, and any out-
rage will tend rather to defeat, than to promote
so desirable an object, as keeping the price of
grain at a price easily 'attained by the industri-
ous artizan and manufacturer.—Glasgow Journal,
March 6.
Four American prisoners were last week com-
mitted to the- county gaol, by Mr. Justice WIL-
LIAMS, for tattooing two of their fellow-prisoners
on each side their faces with T. R.—(Plymouth
Paper.)

As so:ne labourers were lately clearing away
the rubbish after the fire which happened at the
Saracen's Head, Dunstable, in October last, they
struck on a quantity of old coins, mostly of silver,
but some few of gold. They are generally, if not
all, of the reigns of EDwAaD VI. ELiZABETII,
JAMES I. and CannLes- I. The silver coins'ap-
'pear to be half-crowns, shillings, and sixpences ;
and the golf coins, baif-guineas and quarter-gui-
neas ; they arc inperfect round the edges; and
many of them appear to have been clipped, but
are in other respects in tolerable good preserra-
tiOn• Neither the quantity in measure,, the num-
ber of pieces, nor the value of the coin found can
be ascertained, because the labourers mAe off
with a considerable part of it ; but it is supposed
that there was about two quarts. It is conjec-
tured that it %vas buried loose in the earth, because
no remains of-any vessel could be found.

HMON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Joseph Stephens, a boy of about 12
years of age, was charged by his mother, a widow,
with robbing her of a pair of silver sugar-tongs.
It appeared on the evidence of the poor mother,
who was all the time in tears, that the prisoner
was of the most abandoned character ; that he
was generally out every night with some other
bad boys ; and that it he found a gown, or any
other article of hers in his way, he stole it.—He
was remanded till Friday.

[From a Correspondent.]--The small-beer
brewers, it seems, admit, that they can now afford
to lower their price; but that, as it is an odious
task-to begin-this work, no one likes to take the
lead. Is there, then, we may ask, an end to'com-
_ petition ?--:and is there not one among the fra-
ternity -desirous of an increase of business? If
there is, I conceive he has only to follow the ex-
ample of thcke who have given notice of the re•
duction in the prices of 'posting, to ensure a suit-
able encouragement from the public. The' por-
, ter brewers have given an intimation that they
have increased the strength of their beer, and with
this strong argument they expect,- for a while, to
put off the evil day, whilst their coffers, if rePort
speaks truly, are filling to the brim. Wine (Port
wine at least) has fallen, I understand, to the re-
tailers of it, sufficiently to allow of a reduction of
one shilling in the bottle; but 1 have not heard
a whisper of any proposed reduction in this cost-
ly 'commodity: Vintners will tell us, perhaps,.
their old bottled stoek was bought at high prices;
but the Public do not forget; that when the act•
Nance took place, the retailers charged it on that
stock which they possessed before the price rosa.
The.price of Russia tallow was in January last
from 1,035. to 105 s. per cwt.; it is now 80s.—

THE ARMY.

GENERAL ORDER.—Horse Guards, Jan.,l6.
From tlid rcportS which the Commander in Chief has re-
ceived of the Regimental Schools, his Royal Highness has
the vltisfaction of believing, that the important and, benefi-
cial objects of theie institutions have generally been dulyand
successfully attended to, by the instruction of the children on
the plan of the Rev. Dr. Bell, as prescribed in former Orders,
and by the introduction of good order, cleanliness, and regti-
larity. '

, .
'There is, however, another point of scarcrly less impor-
tance, to which it is the' Commander in' Chief's wish most
earnestly to call the attention of the Commanding 01-licers,
viz. ..that of taking care.t.hat the. children are', as early as
possible, instructed. in - the inean4 of tnaking themselves
useful, •and gaining their livelihood;' and this his Royal
Highness conceives may be effected at a very cheap rate, by
em,.!oying the best qualified and best behaved women of each
regiment in ins4ructing the girls in plain work and knitting,
and employing the tailors and boot and •shOemake6 of each
regimcntin instructing the boys in their respective trades;
by which Means the whole
.may, at a very early age, be ren-
dered ti§eftil to the regiment, and be enabled to gain their
own subsistence.
.The Commander in Chief is of opinion, that by an econo-
mical application of the funds left at their disposal, and by a
proper arrangement for the sale of the 7produce of the chil-
dren's work, Commanding Officers will have it in their power
to forward. this object without incurring any additional
ex pence. .

.FoRGERy.--Yesterday Harriot Ball, the Lady
wbo attracted so much of the public cnriosizy,
was brought up from the House of Correction for
a final examination, on a charge of forging the
acceptance of Mr:,j.. Parton, Vestry Clerk of the
parish of St. Giles. The prisoner was led to the
bar between two of the officers, who supported
her during a short charge given to her by the
Alagistrate, on the enormity of the offence she
was charged with, and the narrow escape she had
through the prosecutor not wishing to come for-
ward : she was therefore discharged. She imme-
diately fell in a faint into tire hands °Mood, the
officer, who carried her into the adjoining office,
where she was assisted by some Ladies who came
to be present at the examination. The Office was
extremely crowded with Gentlemen. The pri-
soner was very genteely dressed, and wore her
veil pulled down over her face during the whole
time. "

OLD BAILEY, JA--tr. I.

BIGAMY.-The o►►ly case of any iMPOrianee to=
day was one of Bigamy, which gave rise to an
important question of law, as to-die validity of'a..
marriage celebrated in Irulaud by a Dissenting
Minister, in a private room. The prisoner was
an Officer, who in the year 1797, had ►►carried a
Lady at Londonderry, being a Dissenter., and the
ceremony- was performed. by Dr. Black, a Dissent-
ing, Minister,,in a private room. He afterwards,
in the year 1801, married a La4At"Mtiry=le-bone
parish, according to the ceremonies of the Church
of England.

Mr. NOWLAN, as Counsel for the prisoner,
contended that the first marriage was illegal, as
not being celebrated in the face of the Congrega-
tion, but as he• contended in a clandestine man-
ner.—The argument on this question occupied
nearly two hours,
and depended on a great va-
riety of Irish Statutes, fromwhich it was con-
tended, that the marriage of Dissenters ought to
be at least in the face of the Congregation, and
not in a private room.
The RECORDER determined that the, marriage
was good. Because, be observed, that marriage,
since the Reformation, was but a civil contract,
and until the Marriage Act in England, might
have been celebrated any where. And he was old
enough to remember, that marriages had been
holden good and valid which had been cele,brated
by parsons in a public-house. As it was, there-
fore, by the enactment of positive law, that it
Was necessary to .celebrate a marriage in the
Church -itr England, he required that the law
should be proved which required them to be cele-
brated in. a-Church in Ireland.. And as, by the.
Statute of I Rh, Gco. 11. in the. Irish Parliament,
it was enacted, that all marriages celebrated by a
Dissenting Teacher should be good, without say-
ing where celebrated, and was clearly of opinion,
that the first marriage in this case was valid.
The prisoner was therefore found Guilty.
The prisoner, in his, defence, said, that at the
time of his marriage he was under 20 years of
age, and trapped into the marriage by the Lady'
family,

ROUEN.

We copy the following-with pleasure from a
Morning Paper,—for it is an act of justice ; and
with pain,—for it contains what we belit.tve to be
too truly a correct representation, not only of the
affair at Ronen, but of the too general miscon-
duct of persons whose impertinence and brutality
are calculated to bring disgrace (however unthe;-.
rited) upon their Country. The letter from.
Ronen, describing an insult to the British in that
place, is thus contradicted ; and if The partieS'who
made the complaint to a Gentleman of high re-
spectability in London, are injured by 'it, our
columns shall be gladly opened to their refutation
and the vindication of British Chara.ter

" The mate of an English trading --vessel, and
some of his vulgar companions,- in a state of ine-
briety,lattended the Cathedral (luring the solemn
celebration of mass, and .indulged••in the most.
offensive and profane mockery of their religious
rite, at which some of the people, as might
be expected, were scandalized, and insisted on
their withdrawing. An emigrant of the name
of LE Coa, who had been in England a long
time, became clamarous for a ritig, and fifir.
play, as he called it, that they might tight it,
out. In this scuffle La Coo. himself, very justly,
received a little chastisement from his 0,11.81;12d
countrymen. We state this on the authority of.
two Gentlemen of rank who arrived in town yes-
terday
from Rouen, and who inform us that the
character of England has suffered -much from - the
very improper conduct of some low and profligate
persons; who have made their way to the Conti-
nent, and have been guilty of impositious and ex-
cesses of every kind.

‘` The Gentlemen add, that so far from there
being any utdisposition• manifested towards the
English iu Rotten, nothing can surpass the, atten-
tion and- politenest which .are shewu to all those
who conduct themselves with decorum. Indeed
in no part of France is•there more lively semi-
ment of regard for England than in Normandy,
the character and habits of the people assimilating
more to the English than those of any other part
of France. •

" It is truly mortifying to hear of the low and,
'vulgar ridicnle which our illiterate and prejudiced
travellers throw on 'every thing which, by being
new to them, they affect to despise ; and it may
easily be conceived, that their insolence and ill
manners must at times excite disgust. It is only,
however, when they scoff at -the most solemn
ceremonies of religion, that they have provoked
the indignation, even of the populace."

GUILDHALL.

BOLD THlEVlNG.—Yesterday James Robinson
was brought before the Sitting Magistrate (Sir
CHAS. PRICE) charged with having gone into. the
Grand Jury-room, at the Old Bailey, during the
time the Court was sitting, on Monday evening,
and stealing from thence a set of fire-irons. The
prisoner was further charged with stealing a large
lamp from the door of the Cowper, in Giltspur-
street, last week. The prisoner, it appeared, had
taken the latter article to the house of a person
named Howes, in• Cock-lane, where he offered it
for sale. The price he demanded Was 4s. ; this
Mrs. Howes refused to give, but tendered the pri-
soner 2s. 6d. which he accepted. Her htisband was
absent on this occasion ; but being made acquainted
with the transaction, he desired that if the persan
Who sold her the lamp should chance to come
again, to detain him until he should see him. On
Monday evening the prisoner repeated his visit,
And presented the fire-irons in question for sale.
Her husband not being in the way, she was in-
duced herself to .send for an Officer; while in
the mean time she employed the time of the pri-
soner in conversation. Brown, the Officer, soon
after arrived, and this person having heard of the
robbery just committed. in the Grand Jury-roam,
he instantly secured the prisoner. • Mrs. Pickett,
the housekeeper of the Old Bailey, deposed to the
fire-irons being in the -Grand. Jury-room a few
minutes previous to the theft. She, however,
soon missed them ; and she had no doubt that the
irons produced by Mrs. Howes were those taken
away. He was fully committed for trial.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday,. John Lane, a boy, 16 years of age,
was brought up in the custody of William Read;
jun. and examined on the following charge
Mr. Smallhorne, an undertaker in Little White •
Lion-street,• Seven Dials, being the. prosecutor',
deposed, that on Monday last the prisoner was
playing and loitering about witness's shop a great
part of the clay; being a school-fellow to a
younger brother of 'witness, there was no particu-
lar notice taken of him. The same (lay witness put -
141. in notes into a small box, which vas screwed
down to the desk in his counting-house, and on
Tuesday morning, on going to the box, he
is-
covered that the hinges were screwed otf, and a
turn -screw lying near the box on the desk, and
the notes were gone. Witness gave iniormation
to the above-named officer of the rolibery, and his
suspicion of the prisoner. Read, the officer appre-
' trended the prisoner au Wednesday in Gray's-inn-
lane, and on searching him found two 1/. notes and
15s. in silver, and some halfpence, on his person.
The notes were identified by Mr. Smallhorne, as
being some of those taken out of the box, being
marked by him in a particular manner. -.The pri-
soner confessed having; changed a ten-pound note
at Mr, Bauting•s, a pawnbroker, in Skinner-street ,
Snowhill, where he bought a fowling-piece, for
- which he paid five guineas ; and 'paid 21. 'for a
watch of his that lay there in pawn since May last.

also marked in Mr. Smaliborne's

CURIOUS RUSSIAN MEDAL,

A very curious Russian Medal, made of iron...,
and about the size of half-a-crown piece, was
lately found by the workmen, while taking down,
the Old Church 'at Libbe'rton, in this neighbour-,
hood. It appears, from the inscription round the
head, which bears a venerable and noble counte-
nance; to have been struOt in honour of St. Alex-
ander Nevsky or ..Nevskoy "(usually spelled in this
country Newski). Translated, it runs thus :

‘i The. Grand Prince Alexander Yaroslavitch Neflvskoy."
On the reverse is the following inscription
He bravely conquered the Swedes and Livfmian Germans.
attaGlied Nuvogoiod in the year 1e52. He reiguetl
12 I:e.lrs, and Hied 44 years."

This Alexander reigned at NovogOrod,, in the
13th centurv, and was honoured with the sirnathe
of Nevskoy, !:is glorious victories over the
Swedes. on the Banks of the dliver. Neva.-L-Pope
Innocent sent two Cardinals to persuade him to
embrace the Catholic Faith ; but they did'not suc-
ceed. The Russian Church numbers him among
her Saints, and Peter the Great built a magnifi-
cent Church at St. Petersburgh, which 'bears his
name, and Ordered his remains to be deposited
within it. The Church of St. Alexander Nevsky
stands on 'the Banks of the Neva, where the deci-
sive battle was fought, and, it is said, in the very
spot where Alexander Wounded the Swedish
King.
.The 30th Au ;fist (0. S.) is this Saint's
day, on which the Emperor goes to the Church in
grand style, to attend divine service. Peter pro-
jected, and 'Catherine I. founded an Order of
Knighthood, called the Ordbr of St Alexander Nev-
sky, Raid is the third in rank among the Russiaa
Orders. This Medal must have been, struck after
Alexander's death, and before he was canonised,
but at what period be was thus honoured, Ise have
not ascertained; The Church was built at the be.-
ginning of the last century, and, from the forru.
of the letters, we do not think the Medal is of- a.,
much older date. 'The Chnrch of Libberton was.
very old. It existed in the 13th century, and was,
built probably long before. That part where the
Medal was found was more modern than the rest.
It will puzzle the Antiquarian to explain 'how this.
solitary Russian production came there, for the in-
tercourse-between-this country and Russia is of a.
very'rec&it date.--L(Edinburgh Courant, Jan. 16.)

The Measles were never known to have been so

CURIOUS CHARGE OF FRAUD.-Walter Perkins
Bond was charged with obtaining 10/. from
Francis Start, by means of false arts and pretences.
The,prisonef,' it appeared, had succeeded in get-
ting posscssivi-, the greater part of a house,
No. 9, Bennet-street, St. James's, under pretence
of establishing what he termed the Grand Union
Club-house, under the patronage of a party of the
Nobility and Gentry, not one of whom, how-
ever, could he name. To carry on his plan, he
issued announcements throughout the town, and
he endeavoured to get goods from different trades-.
people tO furnish this noblii Club-house, in which
he did not suCceed. On the Gth instant an ad-
vertiseinent appeared in the Newspapers for seven
servants to engage at the new Club-house, and
on the application of the complainant he was
shewn a plan, which held out the-advantages to
be derived 3, that he was to receive 150 pounds
a-year, as head-waiter, provided his perquisites
did not exceed that stun, and his %vie was to be
housekeeper; but he must advancie 5 )1. to aid in
furnishing and decora'.ing the fancied club-house.
He advanced la- out of the 501. Which consti-
' toted the fraud. All the furniture obtained was
one hazard-table, and the housekeeper has seized
it. Another man advanced 101. for a situation
porter. Start was a- waiter both at the Rainbow
and the Stock-Exchange coffee-house, and bears
a good character. The prisoner displayed much
volubility of speech, and stated himself always to
have been a Gentleman : his servants would have
been well off had he carried his plans into execu-
tion, In answer to a question from one of the
' Magistrates, be said, " he never let his left band
know what his risht did," He was confiderst he

had committed ,no fraud but the I%Jag►stratr'
thought differently, and he was committed for
trial.

COVENT-GARDEN. —After the Opera of Ar-
taxerxes, in which Miss HtronEs was again highly
applauded, and had her usual encore in The Soldier
tir'd, a new Farce was represented, under the
name of The Farce Writer. It is built Upon the
model of most modern Farces, 'in which probabi-
lity gives way to extravagance of incident and
eccentricity of character. The hero of the piece
is Sclapail (MATHcws,) who, instead of minding
his business, has a head full of dramatic projects,
which lie details in the technical language of the
promp.teW_book, mad Green7ioon, phrases. Such
a character was well-suited, to MATHEWS, who
sustained it with most whimsical hum Tour... The
piece also derived essential support from JoNEs,
BLANCHARb, EMERY, MiSS FOOTE, and MIS.
GIBBS. Mr. Pococx is,saiil-to be the author:
