MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, Alla. 21.

Swan T'u►'sall, a young woman of very decent
appearance, was indicted for stealing seven yards of
carpet, value 11., and nine yards of binding, value Is.
the property of Mr. John Austin, of Solihull, near
Birmingham.
The Jury returned a verdict of " Not Guilty,"
which seemed to give great satisfaction to a crowded
auditory.
• This was the only case of any interest amongst

those tried this morning.
In the case of John Hoishaw, convicted last night
of rape, the Jury recommended him to mercy, on the
ground, it was said, of some slight variances in the
evidence.

WEDNESDAT, AUGUST 22•

DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF SABIN, V. WALTON AND OTHERS.
This was an action of ejectment brought to recover
possession of certain property alleged to have been
devised by a man of the name of Greenaway to the
lessor of the plaintiff. Greenaway was a man of
rather feeble mind and eccentric habits, who had
executed a former will, under which the defendants
held the property in question, and which will was
twice contested by the lessor of the plaintiff's family
on the ground of incompetency on the part of the
testator. Tliey were, however, defeated each time,
and now the present action was brought to recover
under a will of subsequent date, alleged to have been
executed by the same testator, and formed in May
last, at the house of Catherine Sabin, in Welles-
burn. The defence was that the will was a forgery.
The plaintiff was, after a long but uninteresting
trial, nonsuitcd.
Lord TENTERDEN then ordered the will to be im.
pounded, and the witness Tant to be taken into
custody, the defendant's attorney undertaking to
prosecute him at the next assizes for forgery.

The first grand dinner at the Mansion::

Ellison, Esq., M.P., Matthew Bell, Esq., M.P., the High
Sheriff • for Northumberland (Dixon Dixon, Esq.), the
Sheriff of Newcastle (Alfred Hall, Esq.), several of the
Aldermen, &e., in all upwards of sixty ladies and gentle-
men. The tables were supplied with the greatest delicacies,
such as turtle, venison, &c. ; and the hospitality of th
Worthy Chief Magistrate (Archibald Reed, Esq.), was
most effectively displayed during the whole of the week.

any sudden demand for the precious metals. Many of our
that a circumstance
so intimately linked with the interests of commerce ought
nottibe collected as mere matter of rumour ; and that if
the relative amount of Bank notes in circulation, and of
the gold in the Bank coffers, were periodically, by law,
published in the Gazette, the establishment would receive
no injury, while the knowledge, to them, would be most
particularly, when alarm like that 'Which has just
passed over is raised. The Directors, who are merchants,
all possess this knowledge ; and why should they he al-
lowed an advantage by virtee of their office, over all other
mercbants?— Times.

James-street, Marylebone, threw that
in
TC3rAiggL,A_bAniiiidii•nogu.: ACCIDENT.—About seven
o'clock yesterday morning the fall of two ruinous houses,
vicinity into a state of general alarm. The houses- have
been some time condemned, and the inhabitants, poor Irish
families, apprised of their danger, but they persevered in
retaining possession with desperate tenacity, and when the
houses sank there were seven or eight persons in each.—
The ruins fell forward into the street, and crushed the
windows of the opposite houses. As soon as the dust had
cleared away, the, neighbours commenced a search among
the rubbish, and in the course of the morning eight or nine
persons were dug out and carried to the Hospital more or
less injured by fractures. A cradle was found, across which
a partition had fallen, which completely acted as a shield,
and in the cradle were two infant children, who were not
the least injured ; their cries had led to their being disco-
vered. It was rumoured that two persons had been killed,
but this is not true.
