WINDSOR, SEPT. 11.—Yesterday the KING,
With his usual attendants, took an airing in the Great
Park, in the course of which he drove to Frogmore Lodge,
where he passed nearly two hours with his Royal sisters
the Queen of WURTRIIBURG and Princess AUGUSTA, when
his MAJESTY returned to the Royal Lodge, and at half-
past seven o'clock honoured his respective attendants with

his company to dinner. This day his MAJESTY ordered
his attendants and phaetons to be in readiness at the Royal
Lodge at two o'clock, and dinner, as usual, at five o'clock,
at the Fishing Temple, Virginia Water. The Queen of
WuaTitainuao and her Royal sister Princess AtreusTa,

ponies, and driven by two postilions in the KlNa'e livery,
with outriders in the same. Her MAJESTY continues to
enjoy good health ; her doctor who accompanied her to
England, says that her BIAJESTY has enjoyed better health
since her arrival here than she generally does in Wurtem-

between the 22d and 26th instant, when she will pass a
few days in London, preparatory to her MAJESTY'S depar-
ture for Wurtemburg.

accommodation.

SIR THOMAS MOORE.—The greatest of men
are sometimes seized with strange fancies at the very mo-
ment when one would suppose they had ceased to be occu-
pied with the things of this world. Sir Thomas Moore,
at his execution, having laid his head upon the block, and
perceiving that hie beard was extended in sueh a manner
that it would be cut through by the executioner, asked
him to adjust it properly upon the block ; and when the
executioner told him he need not trouble himself about his
beard, when his head %vas about to be cut ofl; " It is of
little consequence to me," said Sir Thomas, " but it is a
matter of some importance to you, that you should under..
stand your profession, and not cut through my beard, when
you bad orders only to cut off my head.

nothing else but the whiskers of those whom I have sent
to slumber in the other world.'
The miser procrastinates and the spendthrift
anticipates. The former perpetually experiences want,
and the latter absolutely purchases it. The one is ever a
day before happiness, and the other a day after it.

RESURRECTION MEN DEFEATED,--.Be-
tween midnight and one o'clock yesterday morning, two
'Peculators in the dead visited the church-yard of St.
George's, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of exhumating
the body of a female (Mrs. Margaret Quinlan), interred
there on Sunday last. In fulfilment of her dying request,
her husband, a resident in St. Martin's-lane, kept vigils at
her grave, accompanied
by another relation of the deceased.

church-yard, they remained concealed in order to watch
their pro cee(tings. 'With a spade and pick-axe they soon
commenced their operations on Mrs. Quinlan 's grave, and

cousin suddenly surprised and attacked them. After a
derperate conflict they made a speedy retreat, having been
'eyerely beaten, and left their tools behind them. The
Mations intend to continse their nocturnal watching, lest

LONDON SESSIONS.-(TITTS DAY.)

GUILDHALL.

To-day these Sessions were opened by the LORD MAYOR
and RECORDER ; there were also a considerable number of
Aldermen present.
The RECORDER stated his regret at having to detain the
Grand Jury, but as the Act of Parliament was imperative
that an adjourned appeal from the July Sessions should be
heard before the September business was begun, the Court
felt bound, in the first place, to proceed with it.

CAUTION TO PAWNBROKERS.

FISHER V. FOLICARD

This was an appeal from a decision of the Lord Mayor,
imposing a conviction on the defendant for charging more
interest as a pawnbroker than by law he was entitled to.
John Hugh Fisher, on being examined by Mr. BoLLAND,
stated, that on the 23d of May last, year, he pledged with
the defendant, a pawnbroker, in Sun-street, Bishopsgate-
street, a silver wine-cooler, desert 'and table-spoons, for
2/. 155., and of which he received two duplicates. On
making the pledge he did not ask for any sum ;
the defendant said he would advance the 21. 159. He did
not ask for two duplicates, but expressed surprise at receiv-
ing more than one, and on enquiring why more than one
was given to him, the defendant said he had a reason for
it, but that he did not wish the public to know it, or
something to that effect. On redeeming the goods on the
9th of May last, the defendant charged a greater sum for
interest than he would have been entitled to had he only
given one duplicate, and therefore the information was
lodged against him.
Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.-Witness was an
attorney, and lived in Finch Lane. He gave his name to
the pawnbroker as John Fisher, 9, Cornhill. He believed
it to be the universal practice for persons to give fictitious
addresses to pawnbrokers. He did it because he did not
wish his real name and address to be known. He pledged
the property, which was his own, for want of money. He
had never stated on oath before a magistrate that
his name was John Fisher. Mary Lee lived in his
house. She was the informant on this occasion,
and he only was a witness. Should the conviction be
confirmed, she was to have the amount of the penalty. He
did not know that she would have to pay the costs, should
the appellant succeed—he might. The goods, when pledged,
were all wrapped up in one parcel. Witness did not ask
for two duplicates, because he thought it might be more
convenient for him to take out the table-spoons, when he
might need them, than to redeem the whole at one time.
Mr. ADOLPHUS then addressed the Court on behalf of
the appellant. He entreated that nothing like prejudice
might be allowed to operate on the mind of the Court
against the defendant, because of the business he belonged
to ; nor would he throw any reflections on Mr. Fisher,
because of his having had to pledge his goods for the tri-
fling sum of 2/. 155., notwithstanding he was an attorney
in the city ; for it was better for him to have raised
money by that way than perhaps by some other means;
but he would boldly assert that the entire statement of
Fisher was a tissue of falsehood and deception from begin-
ning to end. He had come here to make a case he knew
could not be contradicted, because in his evidence he had
said no person was present either when the goods were
pledged or redeemed, except the person who took them ;
and as the defendant himself could not be called,
lie hoped to have credit given to him for all he
had thought proper to advance. The fact was, that
he, an attorney, had gone to the pawnbroker, had
himself violated the statute in two instances, and got the
defendant to do it in one : he had given his wrong name
and wrong place of residence, and got the pawnbroker to
enter in his book that fictitious statement. Having ac-
knowledged that he went to the pawnbroker with these
falsehoods in his mouth, it could be no great stretch to be-
lieve the pawnbroker's allegation, that it was at his parti-
cular request the two duplicates were given ; and he
(Mr. C.) hoped that the Court, looking at the whole of
Mr. Fisher's conduct, would not affirm the conviction.

The RECORDER stated that the Court listened with
every possible attention, both to the evidence, and the
statement of the appellant's Counsel, and it was satisfied
the conviction had been rightly made, and, therefore, it
confirmed it.

The LORD MAYOR added, that he hoped this would be
a warning to pawnbrokers. It was alleged when the case
went first before him, that the practice among pawn-
brokers, of giving two duplicates for one pledge, was
general ; he trusted that if that imposition was practised on
the public, that this conviction, which was the highest he
had power to inflict, and to which extent belhad gone because
of that statement having been made to him, would
have the effect of checking so infamous a practice. Mr.
Fisher is the same gentleman who brought an action against
Stockdale for publishing a statement of Harriet Wilson's
respecting him.
The Grand Jury were then sworn, and charged by the
Recorder, who lamented the weight of the calendar, con-
taining no less than 411 prisoners, 82 of whom were
committed from the city.

An account of an extraordinary case of sui-
cide is given in a paper published at Popayan, South
America. A woman, 48 years of age, had for a long time
conceived a design of burning herself alive, and all her fa-
mily being asleep, she entered an oven which was heated
for the purpose of baking bread, and was immediately can-
sumed.—American Paper.

As a party of gentlemen were sporting over
the manor of Stalbridge, on the Ist instant, two of them
fired at and killed a hare. The person who carried her
observing some time after that she was large with young,
paunched her, and took nut four of them, three of which
are still alive, and in a thriving state. —Sherborne Journal.

On a recent mineralogical excursion to some
of the limestone quarries in Fife, that rare mineral, apo-
phylite, was discovered, occupying the interior of a petri-
fied shell, we believe, the first time it has been observed
so associated. This occurred in the Chapel Quarry, the
property of Colonel Thomson. A very beautiful specimen
of the same mineral, finely chrystalised, was found in the
same quarry some years ago, and tossed aside as calcareous
spar. In an adjoining quarry, the property of Sir John
Oswald, a very beautiful green coloured steatite occurs in
large quantities, which in some places contains organic
remains. Both these quarries afford some rare varieties of
calcareous spar, and abundance of petrifactions.—Caledo-
ian Mercury.

trees, has a picturesque appearance. It is kept

ployed to keep it clear of snow, and to water it
every night, so as to give it a new surface in the
morning.

A black man with only one eye, one of those
disgraceful wretches who degrade religion and
disgust the sensible part of the community by
extemporary declamations of the Gospel, was
last week taken into custody in the Isle of
Wight, on being found drinking in a public-
house at midnight, thus applying the profits of
his noon day's affected piety, to effect the real
purpose of his impious profligacy. He was
ordered to quit the island immediately, and we
presume, returned to Portsmouth and Gosport,
where he has before too successfully practised
his imposition. We cannot too strongly express
our surprise at the encouragement which impos-
tors so generally receive.— Southampton Herald.
