SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

Charles Baker, a young boy of 13 years of age, was
indicted by his father for stealing Si., his property.
The prosecutor stated that he was a composition manu
facturer, the prisoner was his son by his first wife. Or.
the 16th of August he sent him out with 81. worth of
composition to a customer. He gave him a receipted
bill along with him, as he was to bring home the money.
When he returned he said, as his father had been so
long in sending the goods, he would not get the money
for some time. Witness went to his customer, and f mnd
that the money had been paid, and the receipt left. That was
not the first offence, or he would not have brought him
there. He had been married only a few dap; to his second
wife. He had corrected the prisoner in every way he
could think of, but could not keep him from pilfering.
The CHAIRMAN, after commenting upon the father's
conduct, sentenced the prisoner to seven days' solitary con-
finement in the House of Correction. He refused the
father's expenses.

Robert Hodder was found Guilty of two acts of em-
bezzlement.

Sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Sarah Grizel was indicted for stealing, on the 2d
September, a ring, value 205., the property of Miss Sarah
Ann Taylor.
Miss Taylor deposed that the prisoner was s,rvant with
her sister, a Mts. Middleton, who lived in the same house.
She left on the 2,1 September, and the day after a garnet,
pearl and ruby ring was missed from the glass drawer in
witness's bed-room. On inquiry it was found pawned at
a shop in the neighhourhooci for Ss.
The prisoner received a good character from two mis•
tresses with whom she had lived.

The CHAIRMAN said, that as the prisoner had always
foul-telly had a good character, they were unwilling that she
should mix with those who would make her worse, the
sentence of the Court was, that she be imprisoned fourteen
days, and kept in solitary confinement.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

This being County day and the one appointed for the
election of a Chairman there was a very full attendance
of Magistrates, Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS in the Chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the first business in order
was the election of a Chairman.

Sir J. SC.,TT LILLIE wished to know whether there
was any order of the Court rendering it imperative to elect
a Chairman on that day.
Mr. ORME said there was a general resolution of the
Court to that effect, which had been in existence for 50
years.
_ _ _

Sir JOHN LEE proposed B. Rotch, Esq., as Chairman,
which was seconded by Mr. Aikin.
Sir J. S. LILLIE rose to propose an amendment. The
duty of electing a Chairman was one of a most important
nature, as was apparent from what had lately taken place.
He would not consider he did his duty either to himself or
the county, if he did not propose, as an amendment,
to the motion of the Honourable Baronet,
" That it was the opinion of the Court that the election
of Chairman should be postponed till the county day of
the next sessions." He did so for the purpose of giving
an opportunity to his brother Magistrates of well consider-
ing the party who was most fitted to occupy the chair of
that Court. The Honourable Baronet then proceeded
to detail the particulars of the late " mistake,"
which, if he was rightly informed, had taken place under
the directions of the Chairman, by which great inconve-
nience had resulted to the public, and severe rtflections
had been cast on the Magistrates in Parliament. He was
instigated in proposing the motion by feelings of
towards no individual. He was unaware whether he could
get any one to second his proposition, but he thought
it the duty not only of himself, but also of his
brother Magistrates to consider the subject well, before
they came to a decision upon it.
Mr. McWrenrAat seconded the amendment, not on the
ground of the " mistake," but that of sheer neglect on
the part of his brother Magistrates and himself, for not
being in attendance. In his opinion, Mr. Rotch had been
perfectly consistent since he had filled the Chair.
Mr. ORME thought that no blame could attach to
the Chairman for what had taken place—if there was,
any one to blame it was those magistrates who were absent.
He thought an inquiry ought to be instituted into the
conduct of the magistrates, and then the public would
know who did their duty and who did not. Out of so
large a number of magistrates as there were in the county
of Middlesex, not one quarter generally attended the Court,
except on the election of surveyors.—( Hear, hear, and
laughter.) He should hold up his hand for the re-election
of the present Chairman.
Sir J. S. LILLIE, after a few words begged to be al-
lowed to withdraw his amendment, as it appeared to be
inconsistent with the rules of the Court.
Mr. Ill‘WraLleat said, as the seconder of the amend-
ment, he objected to its being withdrawn.
After a conversation, in which Mr. Alderman Wilson,
Mr. Orme, Sir J. S. Williams, and Sir J. S. Lillie.,
toile part, the amendmsnt was put and negatived.'
The original motion was then carried with only one
dissent, and Mr. Rotch was declared duly elected.
On taking the Chair he stated, that in consequence of
the statements that had gone forth against him he con-
sidered it his duty to state a few of the ameliorations
that had been effected since he first had the
honour of taking the chair. I❑ the first place it had been
usual to try traverses previous to felonies the consequence
of which was that prisoners were kept in custody much
longer than they now were, and a great saving
to the county bad been effected. Another
arrangement that had taken pl tce was a difference
in the manner of conducting the business. There
was no adjournment allowed for the convenience of
the Chairman, by which means many appeals were
beard that used formerly to stand over. Another
alteration had been effected by order of the Secre-
tary of Sfate, viz , the increasing of the Sessions from
eight to twelve—with that order he had nothing to do,
the whole merit of it belonged to Sir J. Hampson, who,
he was sorry to say, was now no more. By
that alteration they sere enabled to try many of the cases,
which would otherwise have been brought forward
at the Old Bailey, at which place the average cost of
every prosecution was 41. 45., while at the Sets
sions it did not exceed half that sum. By that
means many thousands would be saved yearly to the
county. Against that saving many considered there
ought to be pl iced the increased expense of keeping pri-
soners in C!erkenwell Prison instead of Newgate. Now,
ou making a calculation upon the subject, he found that
increased expense would only be about 3001. a year, and
against that he would set off the following items :—Where
a prisoner was sentenced at the Old Bailey to be privately
whipped, the Sheriffs received no less a sum than 31. 65.,
and for a public whippi❑g twice that sum—whereas at
Clerkenwell it cost only 2s. 61, that alone would save the
county upwards of 3001. Another great abuse that had
been corrected was the sending in of bills to the Grand
Jury by favour, by which the ends of justice were defeated,
and the business of the Court delayed in consequence of the
uproar and confusion occasioned by the number of per-
sons who were in ignorance when the bills would be
presented. The bills were now taken in regular
order. Another improvement was having the police force
in attendance to keep order, which never could be done
by the parochial constables. Such were some of the
ameliorations which had been effected since he had been
Chairman; and he trusted, therefore, that the Court
would think, notwithstanding all that had been said
against him, that his best exertions had been exercised for
the better administration of justice in the county, and for
the purpose of saving expanses, which so material!), in-
creased the county rate.

Mr. LAURIK could not see how 3001. could be saved to
the county by the whipping of prisoners at Clerkenwell
instead of Newgate, as it was well known the County
did not pay those fees—neither did trials at the Old Bailey
cost twice as much as in that Court. By the rande
which had been adopted they were filling the gaol at
the expense of the County, and r, lieving the City of London
from that which they were well able and ought to be
compelled to pay. In considering the expense of prose-
cuting prisoners at the Old Bailey, those which occurred
before Magistrates ought to be taken into consideration.
In one instance he knew that the expense before the Ma-
gistrates was no less than 25/.
The CHAIRMAN referred to the Treasurer's report as a
proof of the accuracy of his statement.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A French Paper received this morning, has the follow-
ing :—" The mysterious Congress of Kings and diplo-
matists in the north of Europe occupies the general at-
tention, causing at the same time all s,,rts of conjectures
to be framed. But it is of little importance to be informed
of the conversations which took place at Toplitz, and
which are to be repeated at Trappau, Schwedt, or at Ft ie,3-
land ; nevertlileati, it is impossible to doubt that these
Conferences, between the absolute sovereigns, have for their
object to concert a plan to counteract the Anglo-French
alliance, and to prevent the future evils of the revolution
of July; but the important question now to be ascertained
is, if this august Conference will throw the gauntlet to
England and France."

Accounts from Frankfort of the 4th instant state, that
the sittings of the Diet will soon commence, couriers have
been despatched to call them together, and it is expected
that their first deliberations will be on the question of
Luxemburg.

Report says, that a declaration is going to be issued by
the Three Powers, announcing their intention to have re-
course to hostilities. in case France and England should
violate the neutrality either of Portugal, Switzerland, or
Belgium.

A Leeward Island Mail has arrived by the Pigeon,
which sailed from Barhadoes on the 2.5rh of July, and
from St. Thomas's on the Sth of August. We do not as
yet hear of any important information by the above con-
veyance.

The fillowing was posted at the North and South
A►nerican Coffee House :

LIVERPOOL, SErr. 10.—Arrived the Caledonia, Gra-
ham, from New York, the letter bag has been landed by
the Post-office boat, together with passengers, who were
not allowed to bring any p ircels of newspapers on shore.
