AND OTHERS.
(Extract of a Letter.)

" This important case remains postponed on
liceount of the indisposition of the Judge. A letter
Wee addressed :o hint yesterday by the defendants
16 ascertain what measures had been taken for
supplying his place, supposing his illnebs should
Prevent him trom proceeding with the Trial. To
this an answer was returned, that it could not
e°llle on earlier than Wednesi.y. Yesterday
another application was made to the Judge (whose
Indkposition has inereased), c:-;d it is stated that
the Trial will not come on lore Monday next.—
In addition to the illness the Judge, Mr. Ser.
leont VAUGHAN, the She+ if, and the Gaoler, arc
411 indisposed.

" The defence is said to be arranged in the
following order :—Mr.DENMAN, as Senior Conn-
eel, by etiquette Of COMA, leads for Mr. MAD..
b°CKS ; Mr. Hut, reads an argument, having for
Its object toshew the illegality of the indictment,
1411 d an elaborate defence, of great length, pre-
Pared by Major CARTWRIGHT, which will occupy
'RI least six bouts. This, it is expected, will ter-
Minate the first day's business. Mr. HILL will
resume on the morning of the second day, with an
"dress to the Jury, in addition to the defence of
Iliajor CARTWRIGHT.

" Mr. LEWIS intends to form his line of de-
f'nee by an illustration of the princip 1 points
taken up by Mojor CARTWRIGHT, whose Bill of
Ilights and Liberties will be read by Mr. Lewis,
With comments as he proceeds.

" Mr. EDMONDS will next follow in defence
Nu) the general principles of the case, and is ex-
Peetett to occupy the Court for a very considerable
length of time.

" Tale. WooLER will bring up the rear of the
defence out of such materials as may arise out of
the proceedings. In addition to this, on the part
4.)f the defendants, Mr. PETER WALKER will CMOs..
'eXartlitlC the witnesses for the Prosecution. It is
evident front this arrangement, that the time of
the Court will be occupied for several days. A
7111-tch greater number of persons have arrived at
\Vat wick, to witness the proceedings, than has
ever been attracted upon any former occasion
aid the greatest anxiety prevails, from the (ulcer-
-144:f1y when Ow trial will commence."

Buttner Assiztts.—The business of these As-
sizes having terminated, the prisoners have arriv-
ed at tiorsemonger-Line Goal, to undergo their
Various sentences. There were twenty-two curt-
victs that received sentence of death ; tlt=r whole
were, however, reprieved before the Judge left
Kingston, except the following, who are ordered
for exectnion on Monday next :—//enry Payne,
av,eil '24, for sheep-stealing and burglary ; James
Waoledge, 33, for the like offence ; and
ahe 32, fin a burglary at Richmond. The case
of tltr latter convict is rather singular, he having
been out on hail, surrendered at the Assizes, con-
tinently iquicipating an acquittal.
MAncaotiouou-flousc.—Gieat preparations are
Malting for the openi,g of the town residence of
his Royal fligt,ness the Prince LeOPOLD of Saxe
4_lol)ourg. The Great Hall and the magnificent
Bang„,ifing Room were to have been illumi-
nated last t eek, when a dinner party was
to have been given; it was intended as the corn-
Theneement of a series, but his Royal High-
Less was obliged to postpone the festive scene,
owing to the unavoidable absence Iron) London
of the leading Personages invited. The Grand
H4l will •probably not take place this season,
owing to the lamented demise of his illustrious
140E11er-in-law. The Duchess of KENT was to
have presided on this occasion.
Contrary to expectation, the works sent to the
Academy, for the ensuing exhibition, are
very numerous. Sir TtiOS.LAWRENCE, who arrived
from the Continent a few days ago,hrought over with
him eight whole lengths ; Sir Wm. BREctny has
the same number, and some others of the Royal
Academicians have three, four, and five pictures
each.

A detachment of the 70th Regiment (Cameron
Ilighlanders) recently landed at Plymouth from
Guernsey. Another divi,don arrived on Friday
'est. The remainder were now ly expected. They
veer " the garb of old Ganl," and this, added to
!heir fine athletic appearance, reminds us of the
hues of their imtil or( Hi :

On Monday a tanner residing on this side of

PERFECTION of PUNNING.—A celebrated living
Anther lately that he rarely made a
" hut when I do," said he, " Ptn very proud
...I
it, for it is alwtivs the worst that ever was
Berle, and therefore excellent." " The other
