SUAREY•SESSIONS.=(THIS DAY.)

Benjamin Robins, by appearance a butcher, Was in-
dicted for feloniously assaulting a female child, under ten
years of age, with intent to commit a rape.
Sophia Cooper, a young girl, stated that she was nine
years of age (her appearance did not indicate so much) ;
the prisoner lived in the same house with her and her
mother, in Page's-walk, Bermondsey; and on the 10th
of September he, being in the house with her alone,
committed the offence charged in the indictment. The
child's evidence fully proved that the brute actually per.
petrated the crime.
The mother of the little girl corroborated the child's
evidence in so far as her own observation went. This
witness was very much agitated while giving her evidence,
and was obliged to sit down and rest for several minutes.
It appeared from her evidence that the brute at the bar
was her brother-in-law, and consequently uncle to the poor
little girl.
Elizibeth Child also corrobora►ed the foregoing evidence,
and stated that the girl was still suffering much from the
violence she suffered. . _

The prisoner put in a long written defence, in which
he attempted to disprove the evidence, and throw all the
blame on the poor little girl, but it fully established his
guilt. The reading of it was received with great disgust.
The Jury almost instantly found the prisoner Guilty, and
the Chairman sentenced him to eighteen months' impri-
sonment and hard labsur. _ .

Samuel Wright was then indicted for assaulting Robert
Sheppard, a policeman, in the execution of his duty.
The prosecutor said he was a policeman, 105 Q• Oa
the 11th instant he was on duty in the Westminster.
road, when he heard a great noise at a distance.
He immediately went up to see what was the mat..
ter, when he found some persons squ ibbling and
making use of very bad language. Some gentlemen
complained of having been grossly abused by the people,
and when be again went to them, he found there were
three men and two girls, whom he requested to move off.
One of the men then placed his back against the wall,
and declared he would not stir " for never a
policeman." Witness took him into custody, and on that
he kicked and thumped witness tremendously. While he
was taking him to the station-house, his companions
came up and struck him violently in the mouth.
The prisoner cross. examined the witness, but the case
was fully established against him.
He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

WESTMINSTER ADJOURNED SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

These sessions were held to-day, pursuant to adjourn-
ment, before FRANCIS CONST, Esq., Chairman and a
Bench of Magistrates.
On the Chairman taking his seat, he was congratulated
by the bar on the scarcity of business before the Court,
there not being a single case for trial.
Ellen Kaye, who it will be recollected was convicted
last sessions for ill-treating her own child, a boy about
four years' of age, was brought up to-day for judgment.
Several persons attended, and gave the prisoner an excel.
lent character for humanity. The husband, who was
present, stated his belief that the person, on whose evi-
dence his wife had been convicted, was actuated by vin-
dictive motives, and expressed his readiness to enter into
his own recognizances for the good behaviour of his wife
towards her child.

The CHAIRMAN instantly acceded to this, fined the
primoner a shilling, and ordered her to be discharged.
The stssions then adjourned.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The only arrival this morning, of the least importance,
is that of the express from Paris, which still leaves us in
the dark in respect to the operations of the Carlists in
Spain, as well as the head-quarters of Don Carlos. It
brings Madrid Papers of the 17th instant, stating that the
Queen Regent has issued a decree, con6•cating the pro-
perty, in Spain, of Don Carlos. This certainly has the
appearance, for the first time, that he is going to take the
field, and that we shall soon hear of hie appearance, with
his etat major, in some part of Spain. It also appears
that, on the above date, the Spanish capital was
tranquil, hut that the disturbance in the provinces
still continued. A report prevailed at Bayonne, that
an insurrectionary movement had taken place at Sara-
gossa; also that a Carnet conspiracy to deliver up St.
*3.6:ultimo boa been rliecovor.d. A report prevailed at
Paris that 600 of the garrison of Pampeluna had deserted
to the Carlists, and that in Navarre the Carlists had ex-
perienced a defeat.
By the French mail this morning, we have the follow-
ing information from Spain :—" The Indtcateur of Bor-
deaux of the 20th, just received by estafette, states that
the troubles in Navarre are not of so serious a nature as
persons were led to believe, and that the insur-
gents cannot make a long and serious resistance,
not being in an organized state. An eye witness represents
that they are in a state of great disorder, although they
have advanced as far as Quinta da Palls, three leagues
from Burgos ; and the last courier left the Royal troops at
Burgos. Castro Terreno has arrived from Old Castille,
with 2,000 men (old troops), and was to join at Burgos
the troops from Madrid.
Letters from Bayonne state that the first engagement
took place between the Queen's troops anti the insurgents
at Quinta da Pella, where the latter were defeated and cut
to pieces by the cavalry.
Accounts from Saint Jean Pied de Port, to the 17th,
inform us that the insurrection was general in Navarre,
where the population was everywhere in arms at the call of
the priests. The news received of the defeat and execution
of Santos Ladron had only caused greater energy to be
displayed amongst the insurgents. At Pampeluna, the agi-
tation was great, and the garrison very weak, three of
the gates of that town were closed. At the moment of
the departure of the courier, the Carlists were proceeding
on Valcarlos, which they would early take possession of.
Monks were seen with their naked swords at the head of
these armed bands in their convents, and were preparing
for an obstinate resistance.

Accounts from Algiers state, that the Bey of Constan•
tine neglected nothing to throw obstacles in the way of
the French, he has sent money, arms, and ammunition
to the Dey of Tittery, and ordered him to make prepara.
tiona for attack.

Spanish Government against Don Carlos, that he has
joined the Carlists, and hoisted his standard among them.
We have, therefore, no doubt that, in a short time, we
shall hear of some fighting.
