WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, JUNE 27.

(Before F. CONST, Esq. and a Bench of Magistrates.)
James Stewart, a young man respectably dressed,
and of good address, although of great volubility of
tongue, was indicted for stealing, on Wednesday last,
a hat and umbrella, the property of H. J. Perry, Esq.
Mr. Perry on Wednesday last was attending a com-
mittee of the House of Commons, when, through some
information he had given to him, he detected the pri-
soner taking and walking off With the articles named,
when he arrested him, and requested that they might
be returned. They were returned, and the prisoner
suffered to depart. Shortly after this the prisoner
took the hat of another gentleman, named Shoosmith,
when the police interfered, and hoped that the witness
would not look over the matter, as eight or tett hats
had been stolen in the House of Commons within a
few days, as well as several in the Courts of Law.

The Jury having found the prisoner Guilty,
The COURT sentenced him to be transported for the
term of seven years.

COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday,
at Guildhall, for the purpose of proceeding in the dis-
cussion on the Reports of the Committee respecting
the election of Aldermen, and the Reports of the Com-
mittee of the whole Court, which had been printed and
circulated amongst the members for some time.
The Court met at ten o'clock.

Mr. Deputy Noon, the Chairman of the first-named
Committee, after a very able speech; concluded by
moving a resolution,
" That the Court agree with the Committee in their
opinion expressed in the Report, viz.—That the Court
of Aldermen is, in all cases of appeal, and in questions
between party and party, as well as in matters of a
public nature, an open Court ; but that matters of po-
lice, and those appertaining to the conservative juris-
diction, are in that Court discussed' and disposed of in
private."
Mr. STEVENS moved as an amendment, _

" That the consideration of the above Report be
suspended, and that the Report of the Committee of
the whole Court, in relation to municipal institutions,
be now taken into consideration."

The amendment was negatived by a majority of four.
The Court then proceeded in the consideration of
the first report, and the motion submitted by Mr.

another amendment, was finally agreed '

T EAYEsiiA,
this time, when the Ottoman
i y
Empire is so obvou-,, on the verge of dissolution, a
work portraying, with the graphic vigour of thorough
°
knowledge, the manners and habits of Turks of many
different classes, possesses a claim to far more attention
than usually belongs to even the cleverest of novels.
We have no doubt that " Avesha," will do more to
inform the public mind respecting this strange, but
most picturesque people, than even our author could
have affected by a book of travels. Mr. Morier spent
much of the earlier period of his life in the Tuikish
dominions, and his representations of Ottoma, n odes
of thought and feeling have that nan eless
l‘hich at once conveys to every mind the conviction
that they are not only intc;resting but true."—Qu,-
