MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--(THIS DAY.)

This morning these Sessions commenced before G. F.
MARRIOTT, Esq. (Chairman) and a Bench of Magistrates.
The CHAIRMAN, addressing the Grand Jury, said that
the Grand Jury who sat during the October Sessions had
mule a presentment, recommending, among other things,
that an intermediate Session should be held between the
eight usual Sessions in the year, in order to shor•en the
time during which persons under charges of felony were
kept in custody before trial. That presentment had been for-
warded to the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
from whom he (the Chairman) bad this morning received a
letter in approval of the plan which had been proposed by
the Grand Jury, and recommended that it should be acted
upon as speedily as possible, according to the power already
vested in the Court.

One of the Grand Jury here remarked, that he bad
been desired by his brother Jurymen to enter a protest
against the proposed measure, inasmuch as it would im-
pose upon them an additional duty of adjourning from
time to time, and put them to very serious inconvenience.
They begged to be allowed to retire to their own room,
in order to draw up a formal protest, and present it to the
Cou rt.

The CHAIRMAN said the inconvenience to the Grand
Jury would not be so great as they supposed. He hoped
that, as the plan had been suggested by their predecessors,
they would throw no impediment in the way of its ac-
complishment, as it had evidently proceeded from the
must humane and honourable motives.

Mr. RoTex hoped the Grand Jury would attend to
what the Chairman had said ; at all events the protest
would be of no avail.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS said he had consulted with the
Common Sergeant and Mr. Sergeant Arabin respecting
the propriety of having a more frequent gaol delivery,
and those learned persons bad expressed their readiness to
sit at the Old Bailey as often as might be deemed neces-
sary, in order to clear the gaols, and they would do so
without putting the county to any additional expense.
The Grand Jury then retired to their own room.
Harding Ackland, Samuel Newell, Charles Price,
and Thomas Turner, were indicted, together with John
King (not in custody), for kesping a common gaming
house, at No. 60, in the Quadrant, Piccadilly.
Mr. ALLEY and Mr. PRENDERGAST appeared for the
prosecution ; and Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for
the defendants.

Mr. ALLEY, having stated the case for the prosecuticn,
called evidence.

The case was not conci ded when we went to press.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week were moderate for
this season of the year, and trade throughout the week was dull.
This morning there was a tolerably good supply of Wheat, chiefly
in tender condition ; and of other Grain there was a pretty good
show. Such samples of Wheat as were fine and dry readily ob-
tained last week's prices; other qualities were extremely dull
and rather lower. Barley, for malting, obtained last week's
prices ; other sorts are scarcely saleable. Beans are dull sale,
but such as are dry maintain last' week's rates. Pease, of both
descriptions, are rather cheaper. Oats remain unvaried from the
terms of this day sennight, with a very dull sale. For Flour
there is a fair demand at former quotations.

HORRID MURDER in PINSTONE-STREET,

SHEFFIELD.

(From the SAeffield Mercury of Saturday.)

We have to record one of the most appalling murders
that was ever perpetrated in this part of the country. The
particulars that we have been enabled to collect are to the
following effect : —Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock
George Sandys, a butcher, residing in Pinstone-street, in
this town, had an altercation with his wife, in his front
shop, which attracted the attention of several persons who
were passing along the street. The cause of their dispute
we have not been able to learn, and are unwilling, in the
pres,nt state of the case, to give currency to vague ru-
mours. While several persons were looking into the shop,
Sandys very deliberately took his knife, and plunged it in
the breast of his wife, who immediately fell on the floor,
and having done this, he went up stairs into the room
above. Two or three persons then entered the shop, and
found the poor woman bleeding profusely. They raised
her, and placed ber in a chair, but before they hail ione
this she appeared quite dead. Constables were imme-
diately sent for, and Bl end, followed by Wild and Wild-
goose, arrived soon afterwards, and sought the wretched
author of this diabolical crime. He was found
sitting in an arm chair in the chamber, cutting his
nails with a pair of scissors, and appeared as com-
posed as though nothing had occurred more than
common. In reply to questions put by Bland,
the constable, he acknowledged having committed the
crime—said he had a cause for it—that if he had it to
do again, be would do it, and that he was quite willing to
go with the officers. Bland then seined him by the arms,
while one of his assistants took the scissors from him ; on
which the prisoner exhorted them not to be alarmed, as he
had no wish to harm them, adding, " You don't need to
tremble—feel at my hand, lam firm enough. I tell you I
am quite satisfied with what I have done, and if I had not
done it, I should do." The wretched man was then
taken, and safely lodged in prison. In a conversation the
constable subsequently had with him, he stated that his
wife refused to give him some money, and complained a
her in other respects ; and said be would explain all to
the Jury at the inquest. The deceased was a good-looking
yom,g woman, of fair arputation, and daughter of a Mr.
Herring, innkeeper, at Doncaster. The Coroner sun,
moned a Jury, who, after hearing evidence, returned a vet-.
dict of Wilful Murder.

The Conservatives are excessively conceiting
themselves on their return of Mr. DUCDALE (latterly
Member for Shaftesbury and rotten Bramber), in the
northern division of Warwickshire. Mr. DEMSTER.
HEMING:WaS defeated by a small majority—not by the Anti-
Reformers, hut by the same unnatural political conduct of
some Whigs, who, as in Middlesex and Lincolnshire, refused
to sacrifice trifling differences of opinion to principle. The
personal partisans of Sir E. E. WiemoT and the "moderate
Whip" gave plumpers to Sir E. Wnatol, the inocb-rate
Reform candidate, and which secured to him the splits of
the Tory electors and county aristocracy, who elected him,
" as a choice of evils," in preference to Mr. HEMING.
The superior organization of the Conservatives, and their
money, with this monstrous practical coalition, occasioned
the rejection of the only real Reform candidate. The
Warwickshire Reformers, however, will profit by experi-
ence, and prevent a second surprise of this nature. The
Conservatives, in their vauntings, however, carefully con
teal the signal punishment ieflicted by Sir Georte F. Put tars
on Mr. SHIRLEY, in the northern division of Warwick ;
and omit to record the fact that eight out of ten of the War-
wickshire Members are representatives of literal opinion.,
and that no Tory will ever again be sent by that county
to a Reformed Parliament. Mr. HEMINC would also
have been returned by a considerable mijority, but for the
irruption of the tenants, who, like sheep, followed their
conservativelandlords. Mr. IfEatiNG's Committee are about
to publish the poll, and an analysis of the effect of the
Marquis of CHANDOS' clause in the English Reform Act. The
Birmingham Journal states, that it will singularly illus-
trate the necessity of the ballot. We hope this example
will be followed in all the contested counties. A few
practical illustrations will more promote the cause of the
ballot, than a mass of theoretical reasoning in its favour.—
Morning Chronicle.

It is understood that no opposition will be
offered by his MAJESTY'S Ministers to the re-election of
Mr. MANNERS SUTTON as Speaker to the House of Com-
mons, provided that gentleman or hie friends previously
signify his wish for the distinguished honour. Only in
the event of a factious motion to that effect, by way of
amendment, made by one of the disappointed and cor-
firmed Tories, will the re-election of the late Speaker he
resisted.

There is no foundation for the report so in-
dustriously circulated that Lord DURHAM is likely to suc-
ceed Lord W. BENTINCI: as Governor-General of India.
Lord DURHAM, in consequence of many domestic calami.
ties, is, we regret to say, in rather delicate health, and,
therefore, not likely to feel an inelinatiou tor so arduous a
voyage. Besides, the immense wealth of his Lordship, de-
rived from his landed estates and his coal mines, which are
the most extensive and profitable in the kingdoin, renders
any addition to his income, arising from the emoluments
of office, quite unimportant.

By the death Of the Marquis of CONYNGIIAM,
the office of Constable and Lieutenant of Windsor Castle
becomes vacant; it is in the gift of Earl Gtsy. It has
generally been conferred on a favourite of the Kirin. There
are a salary, a fine residence, and many other advantage,
attached to this situation.

The late Marquis of CONYNGIIAM and the
Marchioness, departed for the Continent soon after the
death of GEORGE the Fourth, where they remained until
near the close of the debates ou the Reform Bill, when they
returned to England. We believe, however, the Marquis
did not vote upon that question in the House of Lords.
His Lordship's eldest son, the present Marquis, who married
a daughter of the Marquis of AiscitEseA, has always teen
a friend of liberty, and will, no doubt, support the Go-
vernment of Earl GATT.

The conduct of the King of HOLLAND does
not at all surprise us. He foresees that peace would anni
hilate him ; and he therefore trusts to the possibility ol
Europe being disturbed, and holds out to the last. There
are many rich individuals in Holland ; but Holland is nom
relatively a poor country, and when the navi4ation of the
Scheldt is free, the remaining Dutch trade will be greatly
diminished. Scotland is now a rich and improving
country, with great natural advantages for manufactu, es,
as coal, iron, &c. ; and the Scotch could, perhaps, bear
one-half more taxation than the Dutch. But let us sups
pose Scotland a separate country, with a national debt as
heavy as that of Holland, and a King and Royal Family,
with an army and navy, and the various establishments
of a kingdom, and the chances are, that the Scotch would
soon tire of their King and Court. When Scotland vas
a separate country, the people paid no taxes, and the
King was allowed only forty mar ; but Kings. now..,_
days, are not to be satisfied without armies and guards.
The King of HOLLAND and the Dutch will draw together
as long as the struggle for naonoply is continued ; but with
peace they would soon endeavour to get rid of him, and
of this the KING is fully aware. The struggls of the
KING, therefore, may indicate great selfishness ; but in a
worldly sense, it can hardly be called foolish. He thinks
of himself only, and we fear there are other Sovereigns
in the world who deem the people only of consequence as
Kings cannot be supported without thein..—Mori.. Chrou.
It is a current rumour in Doctors' Cotni-nonsi
that Sir CHRISTOPHER RoBINSON will shortly retire from
his situation of Judge of the High Court of A.ftniraliy, and
that he will be succeeded by Dr. Lusrinscrosr.
It is rutnoured that a great nurnt,er of disor-
derly persons have got into the new -Parliament. This
bubeing a

backere case, it is lucky t
Nhat 'ale SPEAKER will have
ck as GULLY. €1 man is better qualified for
keeping order or seeing fair play. It would not be a had
job to make him Deputy Speaker (with a salary), his office

being to enforce the "order" which his chief only pro-
clms. Should any dispute arise, it should be GULLY'S
office to take the parties into a private committee-romn, and see it out. He might be set against the lipeal,,rs.
