MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. HALSEWELL, Chairman, and a Bench of
1111gistrates. )
William Henry French, a coachman out of employ,
pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with steal-
ing a penknife, and a twopenny piece, the property of
Ellen Sullivan, and was sentenced to one month's im-
prisonment.
Mary Norman, was indicted for stealing 71bs. weight
of cheese, the property of Conrad Hailes.
The case was precisely similar to a whole list of offences
at the present Sessions. The prisoner was observed to
walk up to the shop window of the prosecutor, a cheese-
monger, and to carry off the piece of cheese. She was
followed and taken into custody with the property in her
possession.

Toe Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Chairman
in passing sentence said, that it was most desirable that
cheesemongers and other tradesmen, who openly exposed
their merchaniFze for sale, should place some guard or
protection upon their property. The manner in which
articles of food were exposed afforded a temptation that
was irresistible to the poorer classes. The necessities of the
prisoner (an old woman) would induce the Court to pass
a lament sentence, and that sentence was fourteen oays'
imprisonment.

John Harvey, aged 17, and Christopher Male, aged
10 years, were convicted of stealing a pair of stockings,
the property of Thomas Smith.

The circumstances of this were precisely similar to
the preceding case. The prisoners, though young in
years, were old offenders, and the Court sentenced
Harvey to seven years' transportation, and Maile to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour, and to be twice
severely whipped.
Alfred Crane was indicted for stealing a watch, seal,
chain, and key, and a half sovereign, the property of John
Gallagher.

The prisoner, it appeared, lodged in the house of the
prosecutor, and after committing the robbery absconied.
He was subsequently secured, with the property upon him.
Guilty. Sentenced to be imprisoned fourteen days in
solitary confinement.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are moderate, and
the return of Flour is tolerably good. There has been a thin
attendance of buyers to-day, and the prices of all Graiß remain
as last reported, with little doing. Flour meets rather more
demand than of late.

A grand dinner will be given this day at the
French Embassy to the Foreign Corps Diplornatique.
It had been the intention of the Duchess de Dino to have
given a juvenile ball to celebrate the new year, but the
absence of her daughter, Mademoiselle de Perigord at Paris,
and so many of her fashionahle friends being still in the
country, have occasioned the fete to be postponed sine die.
The port of Liverpool is as little indebted
to the corporation for its commercial prosperity as the
town fur its architectural embellishment. The English
monarch who pettishly threatened to ruin London by
removing the court from the metropolis, was reminded by
a shrewd citizen that his Majesty could not remove the
majestic Thames : so we may remind the corporators, when
they boast of the corporation having made Liverpool what
she is, that they did not create the splendid Mersey. The
corporation did not form the manufactures of Lancashire
and Yorkshire ; they did not open the coal-mines of this
or the salt-mines of the adjoining county; nor did they
" call the New World into existence." Liverpool owes
her mercantile elevation to her fortunate position, in the
first place ; and in the second, to the enterprise of her
merchants in availing themselves of that position; and
that elevation she has atnined, not by, but in spite (as we
observed two months ago) of her corporation. Had such
a body as that never existed—had the town never been
illuminated by the wisdom of the forty-one " good men and
true," Liverpool would, from her position in the centre of
the manufacturing and mineral districts, from her proxi
mity to Ireland, and from her facilities of intercourse with
the New World, have been as great and prosperous as we
have now the pleasure of seeing her : whether she might
not have been greater and more prosperous is a question
we leave the corporation to consider at their leisure.—
