SURREY SESSIONS, APRIL 16.

These sessions were holden at Newington by ad-
journment this day, bi-fore R HEDGER, E.q. chair-
man, and a bench of Magistrate,. Tile calendar i-
tmusnally light ; it covains the names of only 2.1
pri,onets aid defendants for trial for alleged ,fslonies
and misdemeanors.

The gentlemen of the Grand Jury, having dis-
posed of the whnle of the bills of indictment, came
into court and asked permission to see the interior
of the county gaol.
The Chairman desired a turnkey to accompany
the gentlemen of the G and Jury to the prison, but
the gentlemen forming the Grand Jury shortly after-
wards returned, and expressed their surprse that
they were refused by the turnkey to see the several
cells of the prisoners.
Mr. Walter, the governor of the gaol, said that
all former Grand J•tries had been satisfied with a
similar inspection of the gaol as hail been afforded
to the pre,ent.
A Grand Juror—Why, we have only been
allowed to inspect the court-yard. _

The CHAIRMAN—You have seen as much of the
prison as your predecessors, and the Court there-
fore refuses to make any order upon the suiject.
A Grand Juror—Then you have your reasons
for so doing ?
CHAIRMAN—Yes.
Grand Juror—l hope that will go forth to the
public.
CHAIRMAN—Irmay with all our hearts.

Grand Juror—Having been allowed to examine
the bare walls alone, we cannot state any thing as
to the conduct of the prison.
The Grand Jury then retired to their room to
prepare their presentment. After an absentee of
about an hour, they returned into Court, and pre-
sented that the inhabitants residing in the parishes
of St. Mary Magdalene and Bermondsey were ex-
posed to serious losses, the tradesmen employing
light weights arid measures in their trades, there
being no leet juries for those parishes, and that they
(the Giant! Jury) were unable to state any thing as
to the conduct of the county gaol, they not having
been allowed to inspect any other part thereof than
One court-yard.

One hundred and seventy-five persons, who
intend to apply in this and the next term to he admitted
Attorneys of the Court of King's Bench, have affixed
notices to that effect in Wrottninster Hell.

We are told that the influenza (in almost
every family at the west end of the town) has sprcad
through the whole eitahlishment. In one commercial
concern near Hanover square there are 32 in bed ; and
in another at Charing. cross 40 persons ; at Devonshire-
house, nearly the whole of the household ; at Northumber-
land-house also many. In the Bank of England, on Mon-
day, no fewer than 94 of the clerks were laid up with the
prevailing disease ; and last night all the principal theatres
were closed in consequence of the illness of many of the
performers. Miss KELLY'S entertaining performances
were also suspended last night, in consequence of the ill-
ness of that lady from the prevailing epidemic. Lest our
country readers should be over much alarmed at this
statement, we think it right to add that this malady,
though severe while it lasts, has not proved fatal in any
one instance.

CAMPAIGNS OF THECOLDSTREANIGUARDS.
It is somewhat surprising that so important a work as
the present should not have made its appearance long ago.
This regiment is justly entitled to the motto of ' Nulli
Secundus,' whether we regard its services during the
memorable dutch war—during the war of the succession
in Spain—in Flanders, under Prince EUGENE—during the
seven years war in Germany—the campaigns in Holland
and Flanders—and in the expedition to the Helder, under
the Duke of YORK : in Egypt, in the American War, in
the expedition to Walcheren, in the Peninsular War and
France, in the storming of Bergen-op-Zoom, or, finally,
rtt the victory of Waterloo. Of the manner in which
Colonel Msextrusioti has penned his narrative, we cannot
speak too highly. The volumes, which are dedicated by
rrinission to his MAJESTY, are elegantly printed, and the
~xquisite engravings of the medals presented to the regi
went, show that no expense has been spared to give the
work every possible eclat."—Town Journal.
Lady HOWARD DE WALDEN proceeds next
week to join her Lord at Stockholm. Her Ladyship has
arrived at Ha •court-house, Cavendish-square, from the
se.t of her father, the Duke of PORTLAND, at Welbeck
Abbey, to make preparations for her departure for Sweden.
The return of Lord BLOOMFIELD, our late Minister at the
Court of King CHARLES JOHN, is daily expected. His
Lordship has remained abroad since he ceased to be Pt irate
Secretary to GEORGE IV. It is worthy of remark that
his Lordship, in addition to his emoluments as a diplo-
matic Minister, has retained big pay as a Colonel Com-
mindant of the Artillery daring his residence in Sweden.
