CITY, Twx.r.rx o'CLocr.
Consols, which left off on Saturday at 89i to i
for the Account, opened this morning at 891, and for
money 88i 89, with no business of Consequence
doing as yet.
The following, dated Portsmouth, Sept. 6, has
been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house :—" We have to inform you
of the arrival this evening of his Majesty's ship
Druid, from Vera Cruz, Tampico, Havannah, Ja-
maica, and Curacoa, having specie and cochineal
on board. The amount and quantity we cannot as-
certain. She sailed from the latter place in 35 days."
Extract of a letter from Vera Cruz, dated
July 14 :—" All is quiet here; but we are in a great
uncertainty in regard to the result of the Havannah
expedition. Within these few days General Santa
Anna has been here, who is displaying the greatest
activity for the defence of St. Jean d'Ulloa, whose
garrison is now complete. Santa Anna has laid a
contribution of 30,000 piastres on the commerce, in
support of the preparations he is making."
Accounts from Cadiz of the 18th August state,
that it was reported that the expedition to Mexico
would land at Solo la Merina, about 60 leagues to
the north of Vera Cruz, where they have a great
number of partisans ready to join them. On the
12th instant arrived here from Ferrol, Admiral
Andre Sartorio with four men-of-war, others are
also ready here for sailing ; and it is believed that
the intention of Government is to send to South
America the conscripts of 1827 and 1828.
Accounts from Valparaiso state, that information
had been received from Lima of the 19th March,
and from Truxillo of 12th March, stating that the
Peruvian army, under General Lamar, had obtained
a victory i►► a pitched battle over the Colombians.

MIDDLESLX SESSIONS.-(T1IIS DAY.)

These Sessions commenced this morning at the Sessions
House, Clerkenwell-green, before J. CONST, Esq. Choir'
man, and a full brnch of Magistrates.
After a few assault cases of no public importantx,
William Hodsel was indicted for an assault on 10
wife. Mr. AnoLextis in stating the case observed, thgt
rases of this description had generally been treated °'
Court with a levity that they did not deserve. This oer
was not one in which the husband and wife could be propel
t,ld to " kiss and be friends," but it called for a punish'
ment that would make the prisoner remember that he Won
not allowed to ill-treat the prosecutrix with impunity, be'
cause she was his wife.

Catherine Braw Hodsel stated, that the prisoner, her
husband, was a brass-worker ; lie had been formerly her
first husband's errand boy, but she had married him since
her husband's death, and he had treated her on all twee'
sions very ill. On the day laid in the indictment, he first
threw a bag of tools at her, which she parried from her
head, lie then threw her down against a vice, and hurt
her shoulder ; she ran up stairs and he followed
her with a c Irving knife; she bolted the door, and he
stabbed the knife through the panne!, aed told her that 0
much of the knife as was through the door he would send
into her body. He kicked his foot through another pan-
ne', and the prosecutrix was so frightened that she jumped
out of a first floor window, and went to a neighbour's.
Mr. C. Pmmars, for the defendant, asked her if she
was not very jealous of the defendant. The prosecntri
replied that her health bad been affected by him three
times, and that he had, since their separation, brought
women to sleep with him in her lied.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and the Cwain-
MAN told him that he had mistaken the power of a htin-
hand rery much. For instance, a man had no right t°
throw a stool at his wife.—(lt was here intimated to the
worthy but aged Chairman, amid much laughter, that it
was a bag of tools, and not "a stool," which the defendant
had thrown.)—The Court suspended the sentence till
Friday.
