This morning the usual preparations for the
trial of the State Prisoners were made at .the
Sessions House in the Old Bailey. As early as
eight o'clock, a considerable number of per-
sons obtained admission into Court, although
there does not appear so much eagerness as
on the commencement of that of Thistlewood.
At a few minutes past nine, the CHIEF BAaorg,
Chief Justice DALLAS, and Mr. Justice RICHARD-
sots, took their seats. The CHIEF JUSTICS of the
King's. Bench was not present, this being Special
Paper
.D 4 at Westminster. On the Judges enter-
ing the Court, the prisoners were brought up.—
Bradburn, Tidd, Cooper, Strange, Jugs, Darisoq,
&c. &c. were placed in the (lock. James In,gs
being. put to the bar, the Jwy were called, a
considerable number of whom were perempto-
rily challenged by the prisoner ; many were
also challenged on the paet of the Crown. ,In
performing this part, logs did not exhibit that
hardihood as on the day on which he was arraign-
ed. The Jury having keen cast, entered the
Box, KS they were called over. The Indictment,
which charged the plisooer vv,ith compassing and
imagining the King's death, to subvert the Go-
vernment, to levy war against. the King, &c. &c.
charging malty overt acts, was then read ; it con-
tained many Counts, and was of -great length ;
but the Counsel for the Prisoners, Messrs.
Wiavorn and I3RoDCRICK, having copies, did
not wish the whole to be gone through. The
ATTORNEY GEN EP AL then proceeded, at Meat
length, to detail the various circumstances con-
nected with this Conspiracy, in which (be
said) the prisoner at the bar, Inks, would have
been proved to have taken an active part.—
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state what
be considered the Law, and as it would be pro-
pounded by their Lqrdships. He then concluded
a moot able Address, by calling on them to do their
+buy to their God, the Prisoner, and their Country.
A witness, named Mitchell, was then put into the
box, to prove certain transactions which had
taken place between him and the prisoner, rela-
tive to this business. Monument was also called,
and behaved in a manner.similar to that in which
be did before, on the trial of Thistlewoud.—
This maws examination lasted a considerable
time, in consequence- of Mr. WALFORD and
Air. BEODERICK cross•examining the witness
with most scrupulous exactness. Another
Witness was entering the Box when our Re-
porter left the Court.-2Numeroos grooim -of
persons are assembl,esl round the Sessions House,
amongst whom are many of the Committee
of Managernent for conducting the Conspirators'
Defence. The trial Of logs is not expected to
conclude before to-morrow afternoon.

,fl T., HATR.P.— The First 1-Cirt of Henry the.
Fourth introduced Mr, STEPIIEN KI;Mr,LE, last
Might, again on the boards of Drury-lane Thea-
tre, in the part of Falstaf. The long expe-

rience, natural power.!:, and rood sense of this
Pei former, held forth an assurance that the
character ‘vould, be well supported, and the an-
thence were not disappointed. . 'l•htre was an
• archness, Mended with the satirical humour
• and ol,en jollity of his acting, which gave full
effect to the character, and excited much ap-
plause. Mr. KEAN is very much improved in his

representw ion of Hotspur. His conception was
accurate, and he sustained it throughout with
characteristic expression. We thought, however,
that he was too cool and considerate in reading
the letter, which, in our opinion, ought to have
been marked with more angry and peevish spleen ;
but his performance altogether was highly respect-
. able. Perhaps both of his dresses were too fine
for so rough, hardy, and negligent a warrior,
and his popularity requires no aid of a gaudy
attire• it may be justly observed, that his peel'.
liarities are gradually disappearing, and that, as.
lie maintains his usual spirit, he is more entitled
to that popularity at present than at any former
period. FuoTE was a respectable representative
of the King, and PENLEY was sufficiently spirited in
the Prince. In one respect we think he was mis-
taken. Hotspur, in the fighting scene, addresses the
Prince as Harry Monmath. and the other therefore
should not say the Prince of Wales," but
give emphasis to his title, in opposition to the
familiar neminatom of his competitor. The play
altogether went off good effect.
CORN-EXCHANGE, APRIL 21.--Although thre
has been but little fresh Wheat in since Monday,
our Sales were heavy this moroing, having but
little demand, xcept for prime Samples of Whiie.
Which fully supports Apoil ty's prices. btu

Middling qualiies, or that which was in the least
out of condition, and unlit fur malting, ;here was
_no demand tor, although ollerecl at an abatement
-of Is. per quarter ; Oats were also dull sale, and
rather lower, having large at rivals of that article;
in Beans and Peas there is .PO variation.
SM MABEET, Xt rrt. 21.—Therc was hut a short
.lUpply in the Market this morning of all kinds of Cattle,

but•the inferior sorts remain in price as last Market;
