OLD BAILEY, DEC. 3.

John Wicks, a respectable youth, aged 17, was
indicted for stealing sundry looking glasses, value
71. and upwards, the property of George Cooper,his
master.

It appeared, by the testimony of the prosecutor,
that he had been losing property for a considerable
time past, but, owing to his respectability, be did
not until lately suspect the prisoner. On the day
named in the indictment, the prisoner was detected
with the property named therein, and taken into
custody.
The prisoner made no defence, but called several
respectable gentlemen, who gave him a good cha-
racter.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but joined
the prosecutor in recommending the prisoner to
mercy.

The COMMON SERJEANT said, that the offence
was one of an aggravated nature, and must meet
with severe punishment. The prisoner's mother,
upon hearing this intimation, fell into tviolent hys-
terics.

John Evans was indicted for stealing 11 sovereigns
and a pair of spectacles, from the person of Mr. John
Norman.

Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the prosecu-
tion, after which he called

The prosecutor, who stated himself to be a gen-
tleman living upon his property, and residing in the
county of Somerset. On the 11th of November he
dined with a friend in Edmund-street, Portman-
square. He left there about half-past eleven o'clock
at night, and finding himself rather the worse for
liquor, he called a coach at the corner of Oxford-
street, and told the coachman to drive to his lodg-
ings in St. James's-street. He bad at that time 11
sovereigns and his spectacles in his pocket. The
coach stopped in Leicester-square, and he then dis-
covered that the prisoner was sitting by his side,
upon which he got out of the vehicle, and gave him
in charge, and accused him of the robbery.
George Green, a hackney-coachman, stated that
the prosecutor hired his coach about midnight,when
he told him to drive him to St. James's-street.—
When the coach was hired the prisoner stood by
him, and folloWed the prosecutor into the coach,
observing, that as he was his friend, he would see
him safe home. The prisoner told witness to drive
him through Leicester-square, and to stop at the
coach stand. Witness did so, and when the prose-
cutor and prisoner got out, the former put his hand
into his pocket, when he found that his money was
gone : he seized the prisoner by the collar, and ac-
cused him of rifling his pockets, arid, calling a po-
liceman, gave him in custody.
J. Clark, the officer, found the stolen property on
the prisoner, who was found Guilty, and sentenced
to be transported for life.

NEWS FROM TUE ARMY OF THE CAUCASUS.

ST. PETERSBURGII, Nov. 16.—Immediately after
the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace at Adrianople
Field-Marshal Count Diebitsch Sabalkunky sent
two couriers,- one by land and the other by sea, to.
convey the nelvs to the Commander-in-Chief of the
Army of the Caucasus. One of them, Lieutenant
Mogutsby, Aid-de-camp to Count Diebitsch, arrive:]
by the sea off the 4iarbour-Of Trebiaond on the 2d
of October, but as the Turkish -Commander would
not allow him to land, he was obliged to tcek an-
other harbour. This unreasonable obstacle opposed
by the Turkish authorities to the landing of our
Courier, has led to an event very unfortunate for the
Ottoman troops, which, although ours have distin-
guished themselves by fresh victories, is et to be
lamented, as it has caused further bloods!red at the
time when the object of the war was already gained.
After Count Paskevvitsch had effected I:is retro•
grade movement on the road from Trobisond to
Erzeroum, he was just engaged in choos'inz gond
winter-quarters for the troops under his command,
when he received the unexpected news, that not-
withstanding the bad season, the new Seras:tier still
continued to assemble troops, that he was jo epating
for an attack upon Erzeroum, and had al:ea.:I)- col-
lected 18,000 cavalry and infantry for this purpose,
in the town of Beibert, which we had left, and its
neighbourhood. Even if the presence of so large a
force in the vicinity of our head-quarters had not
been dangerous, So long as it remained concentrated,
it might, however, cause the inhabitants of the Pa-
chalik already conquered, to rise; and to o'dige our
troops to undergo all the hardships of a winter
campaign.

. -
Induced by these considerations, Count Paske-
witsch resolved to undertake a general movement
against the Seraskier, and to prevent by rue blow
all the consequences of his undertaking. lie there-
fore left Erzeroum on the Gth of October, and pro-
ceeded to Beibert in two columns, the right under
his own command, by way of Khosch Parrigar; and
the left under General Potemkin, by way of Arab-
kaly and the mountain of Kopdagh. On the 8:1t
the two columns joined at the copper mint;, fifteen
wersts from Beibert, and continued to ad eance to-
wards that city by a defile which leads &reedy to
it, along the bank of Tchsraka. Four wrists front
the town our vanguard fell in 'with 1,000 of the
enemy's cavalry, occupying the defile which at this
place makes a bend towards the left side, and which
is crossed by several roads to Beibert. The enemy's
masses occupying both sides of the river, were at-
tacked at once and repulsed, part to the entrench-
ments and abattis on the direct road to Beibert, part
to the high mountains forming the right bank of the
river. By this all the cross roads to Beibert were
open to our troops, and Count Paskewitseh seeing
that it would be easy to make a flank movement and
turn the town, gave up the pursuit at nietfall, and
remained in the position which he had occiipied.lik
The boldness with which the Turks had quittMS
their entrenchments to engage our van, proved that
they were in considerable force; the prison ers taken
in the night also declared that the Serte..kier was
only four wersts fromsßeibert, that he ILA sent to
the garrison 2,000 lazes, and intended to enter the
town the next day with his whole force. This news
induced Count Paskewitch to hasten Cie move.
merit of the attack, leaving his communications with
Erzeroum. On the 9th, at five in the morning, he
turned the town on the left to take a position on the
heights, which command the place within cannon-
shot, and also to cut off its communications with
Ter Djane Tchiftlek, and partly with Trebisond.—
(The Bulletin then recites a series of smart actions
between the two columns and the enemy, which
ended in the latter being driven from Beibert. The
Turks, in evacuating the place, divided themselves
into three columns, all which were attacked and put
to flight. The Russians pursued them 16 wersts,
notwithstanding the badness of the road; and en-
tirely dispersed them.)
The enemy lost on this occasion 800 killed, 1,200
prisoners, six pieces of cannon, and 12 stands, ds.—
We had 100 killed and wounded ; among the former
is Major Shagoubatoff of the Kherscn Grenadiers,
and Captain Annenhoff.

The Seraskier, hearing of our motions, haitened
with 10,000 men to relieve Beibert, but tie place
being taken before his arrival, he retreated preei.,
pitately.

A small detachment sent towards the fortress of
Olty, to disperse the enemy in that quarter, suc-
ceeded completely. The Garrison of Olty sur-
rendered prisoners of war.

On the 11th of October, the third day after the
taking of Beibert, the Seraskier, who had learned
through a private channel the conclusion of peace,
sent an officer to Count Paskewitsch to ask an ar-
mistice. The Count sent M. Vlanguly, Councillor
of State, to the Seraskier's camp, who there found
Captain Dubamel, who had been sent out express by
land from Adrianople.

Count Paskewiiseh immediately issued ordets to
suspend hostilities at all points, aad entered into a
communication "with the Seraskicr for the execution
of the Articles of the Treaty relative to the pro-
progressive evacuation of the Pachaiiks restored to
the Porte.—Journal de St. Pazraburgh, Nov. 17.

THE BOOK OF THE Boupout.--It was
certainly one of the happiest thoughts of Lady- MORGAN
to write a Book of the Boudoir; anti we observe that the
Royal and Noble Author of the " Exclusives" devotes an
opening chapter to a description of that delightful temple
of woman's fascination and unresisted suyreluzie..y. •‘ The
Boudoir of the Woman of Fashion," observes the Llthor,
"exhibits in its history, if faithfully recorded, a picture of
the manners, modes, and morals of this times; and, how."

handed down, or registered as objects of imitation, yet to
chronicle them fur the day would not be without its use.
The sensible part of mankind would laugh at tl:o follies,
and wonder at the extravagance, which the page Gf such
ephemeral history unfolded; while the actors in the scene
might possibly view in the mirror held up to them their
own lives and their own aztioni, in a newand truer light. ••
