MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(TIns DAY.)

(Before Mr. CONST, ChAirman, and other Magistrates.)
'William Crowther was indicted for having in his possession,
and offering in payment, a 51. note of the firm of Taylor and
Lloyd, Birmingham.

Mr. Ar,r.zi- stated, that the prisoner had offered the note in
payment to a Jew salesman in Rosemary-lane. The latter had
presented it to the Bank, where it was recognized as one of the
stolen parcel. He had told two different stories to the Jew and
his son, as to his obtaining possession of it. They suspected and
took him before the Lord Mayor, where he accounted for its pos--
session more suspiciously. He stated that he had sold a writing;
desk to a strange man in Holborn, and that he was a carpenter liK-
ing at Chelsea ; that he had sold all hi► things, and was return-
ing into the country.

Another Military. Narrative, of various and stirring
interest, it appears, is about to be published under the
title of THE RIFLEMAN'S COMRADE. The authen-
ticity of the details in this Work, as well as that of ha
predecessor (" The Adventures of a Young Rifle-
man,") is attested by no less an authority than
GOETHE, who has, in fact, prepared the Young
Soldier's story for the press.
ELECTION of AN ALDERMAN FOR LIME-
STREET WARD.--This morning . a Wardmote was
held, for the purpose of electing an Alderman for the
ward of Lime-street, in the room of George Bridges,
Esq., resigned. At eleven o'clock precisely the Lord
Mayor took the chair. Mr. D. Price moved that Mr.
Charles Farebrother be nominated to the vacant gown,
which was carried unanimously.
DEATH OF .ALDERMAN MAGNAY.—Sow con-
siderable sensation was excited in the City, yesterday afternoon,
in consequence of the reported death of Alderman Magnay. We
have made inquiries, and, from the rumour current, it appears,
that, about three weeks since, the Worthy Alderman was thrown ,
out of his chaise, severely bruised, and confined for some time.
Having, however, incautiously ventured out earlier than prudent.,
he caught cold, and inflammation having ensued, the Alderman
breathed his last, at an early hour, yesterday morning. The
worthy Alderman was very far advanced in years, being upward.%
of 70 years of age. He has left. a wife, and we Understand, an less
than fourteen children, ten of whom are at home. He had been
Alderman of the Ward of Vintry for eighteen years, and has
recently filled the office of Lord Mayor. The Alderman
was very much respected in the Ward to which he be-
longed. One of his daughters was recently married to
the son of Sir Charles Flower. The melancholy event has
produced much sorrow in the Vintry Ward, as the Alderman bore
the character of an excellent man among his fellow-eititeos. He
was in town last week, and returned to his seat at Wandsworth.
His disorder then took an unfavourable turn, and his family have
now to regret the loss of a kind and affectionate father, and hia
friends the loss of an esteemed and highly respectable citizen. It
is reported, that Mr. Sheriff Winchester intends to canvass the
Ward, for the vacant Gown ; but we rather apprehend that the
Ward have their worthy Deputy in view.
