WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-,.THIS. DAY.

Benjamin Barns, the pugilist, appealed against the conviction of
the Magistrates for keeping his house open,the Sun, in Great Wind-
mill-street, at an unusual hour of the night, and allowing tippling
and card-playing therein. The defetice set up was, that Vase Hest
bad invited a select party of friends to sup with him, off fine tripe
and plenty of good wine, and all at Hine Host's expense, which In-
duced his friends to stay until a late hour. It was contended fur
the appellant, that no cards were played that evening, although
three watchmen had declared that Mine Hod had cards in his hand,
and was playing the game of cribbage.—The Cones, after hearing
the whole of the evidence, were of opinion that the conviction if as
fully supported, and consequently affirmed the order.

It is reported in the City, that Mr. FRANCIS BARING
is about to take his departure fur Mexico. The object of his visit
thither is at present kept secret; but it is conjectured tbat it has
relation to the recent recognition of Meiico by the British Go•
vcrnment.

In the Frankfort Papers, that reached us last night,
there are two articles of gratifying intelligence. One g,
that the Nobility of Baden have agreed to give up their
rights 4 patrimonial jurisdiction, secured to them by
the act of the Germtnic Confederation. The other is, the
negotiation of a commercial treaty between that Duchy
and Switzerland. Europe becomes more thoroughly
pacific every day. The intercourse between all the
States will, it may be hoped, be soon adjusted on prin.;
ciples of wisdom and liberality.
It is now resolved by the Committee, that the Hano-
ver Colossal Monument, in memory of the battle of
Waterloo, shall be erected in the beautiful place on tbe.
avenue to Hetenhausen. The pedestal is to be made of
the cannon taken by the Hanoverian troops in that
battle, and to support a column about 50 feet high, on
the summit of which is a figure of Victory, with a laurel
wreath and a palm branch.
A true bill of indictment was yesterday found by the
Grand Jury for Westminster, against Ann Dudield, (the
mother of George Duclfleld, now under sentence of trans,-
portation for 14 years, for the robbery of Earl Cow.
PE ICS steward) for keeping a bagnio in Shire•lane.—
True bills were also found against Hart and two others,
of the same place, for the same offence. Much to the
praise of the parish, it is determined to root out the
whole of who have so long fattened on the unwary and
unprotected part of the community.

A sum of 15,000 francs has been placed at the dis-
posal of the Prefect of the Lou•er, Rhine, to be disti ibu.
ted among the inhabitants of the departments who
have suffered by the inundation. The KING has granted
25,000 francs more to be employed in the form of re-
missions and reductions of the taxes, in favour of those
..who are the most distressed in consequence of those
disasters.

Monday morning, it ten o'clock, the remains of the
late Lord EARDLRY were removed from his Lorchhip's
residence, No. 10, Marine Parade, Brighton, on its
route to Belvidere. The procession arrived at about
four o'clock at Crawley, where it rested till- the follow.

ing morning, when it proceeded to Ryegate, and on
Wednesday, from thence across the country to Belvi-
dere, where the body was to lie in state till yesterday,
when it will be conveyed to the family vault at Erith.

During a general mourning, an Officer of the Army,
dressed, in regimentals, made his appearance in a ball
room full of people in black; and, atter calking about
a minute or two, suddenly left the room for good and all,
as the saying is. A Lady present compared him to a
spark of fire in a tinder-box.
