OLD BAILEY, APRIL __ IR .

This morning, before the trials were proceeded with, the
Common Sergeant passed sentence upon the prisoners who had
been convicted during the Sessions. The awful sentence of
death was passed upon the following unfortunate persons, viz.
William Jones, Thomas Jones, Edward Martin, John Smith,
James Smith, William Thomas, John Godwin, W. Smithers,
John Connelly, Henry Cook, Michael Hagan, for housebreaking
and larceny; George Davis, Mery Brown, Charlotte Smith,
James Sullivan, and Charles Shadwell, for robbing the person ;
the latter was convicted of maliciously striking znd wounding.
Eighteen were ordered to be transported for life; seventeen
for 14 years, and fifty-seven for seven years. A great number
were sentenced to terms of imprisonment, varying from two
years to seven days, and some were ordered to pay a nominal
fine, and were discharged.

On account a the convicts not being able to appear in Court,
by reason of illness, the judgment of several were respited until
the May sessions.

The COMMON-SERGEANT addressed the capital convicts in a
most impressive manner, and implored them to employ the
interval allowed them in prayer and supplication. Some of
the prisoners were deeply affected.
John Merrall was charged with causing the death of Mary
Latcher, the wife of a policeman, by administering to her, on
the 9.nd of April, a quantity of Prussic acid. It appeared that
the prisoner, who was about 18 years old, and quite ignorant of
Latin, had mixed up by mistake some Prussic acid in a draught
prescribed for the deceased by his master, Mr. Clapham, a
surgeon in Francis-street, Tottenham-court-road.--Not guilty.
T. Evans, aged 15, and T. Pike, alias Pritchard, were con-
victed of breaking into the warehouse of Mr. Halfpenny, a
jeweller, occupying premises n Searles-buildings, Lincoln's-inn,
and stealing bank notes, gold, gold dust, and precious stones to
the amount of 15001.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

By the French Mail we learn a report prevailed at Paris,
that some serious disturbances had taken place in Hesse Cassel,
and that the French Minister had left the capital, as well as
in tie Duchy of Baden, and FOMC of the troops had gone over
to tie insurgents, but the report requires confirmation.

At present the accounts from Odessa, of the 25th March,
say t hat artillery and troops were embarking there for the East,
and 30,000 Russians were on their march for Constantinople.
We should not be surprised to see France join with Russia, to
present the advance of the Egyptians on the Turkish capital.
