There Sessions cotnmeoced to.day at the 'Near
'Bailey 'Court-house. They are County Sessions,
and held litre by adjournment. In this county
the Sessions are not held at one place, as is usual
in most others; but on account ot the quantity
of business, and the extent of the jurisdiction,
are held-at four towns. They commence at Lan-
caster, and are then adjourned to Preston and
Manchester successively, and ~end at Liverpool.
They usually occupy about a month. The sitting
at Manchester is generally about eleven or twelve
days, and is a most laborious one. It comprises
the business of the hundred of Salford, in which
are situated the populous towns of Manchester,
Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton, Hea-
ton, Norris, &c. Air. Hay always sits as Chair-
man ot the Manchester Sessions : he was formerly

In his charge to the Grand Jury, !he Chairman
principally observed upon several important Acts
passed in the last Session. He did not take the
least notice of late events, or the present state of
this county, except by merely stating, that an ap-
plication to the Bench li3d been made by several
moat respectable inhabitants of some of the out-
townships to have the Watch and Ward Act en-
rorced in them. He thought it was necessary to
urge the propriety of those townships putting this
Act in force, but penhaps the measure could not
be too strongly recommended at the present time.
He was happy to observe, that the number of
felons was much less than usual, and hoped this
was not merely accidental.
The business of this morning has been confined
to Appeals, end there lies been nothiseg of any
public interest. The number of felon prisoners
in the Calendar is 151 ; of those for misdemean-
ours, 107. Amongst them are Thomas Butter-

Ttis LATE STORM.—The trees in the Middle
Temple have suffered severely by the frost and
snow storm of Thursday night. One of the tall
trees within the palisndo that encircles the jet
(Pfau, was broken off about 20 feet from the
ground; another very large tree in the area in
the front of the garden, suffered a like disaster.—
This latter was an old favourite of the Benchers,
who bestowed upon it peculiar care. Some few
years ago it was forced by a storra from its per-
penteleular, and to secure it a strong p 0.41 Wil3
pieced upon a plinth, on which it leaned as on a
crusub ; but on Thursday night its unthragtotis
heed, which has long sheltered the watch-box
beneath, was carried away. Both these accidents
were chiefly occasioned by the immense weight of
congealed snow accumulated on th.e branches.

cock Apple—the Beauty of Kent—and the Shep-
herd's Seedling. The fruit is of the hest keeping ,
