OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, SEPT. 24.

---,WIN '---

The case of Wilson, or Ogilvie, was the last on the
calendar; it was given in Saturday's Srs.n. The pri-
soner was found Guilty, and sentenced to seven years
transportation.
The Sessions now terminated,. which, in all probabi-
lity, had there been but one Court, as formerly, might
have cotitinued ten days longer; a plain proof, if any
were wanting, of the .propriety of having two Courts.
At these S scions a greater number of prisoners have
been tried than since the Session in the corresponding
month in 1817, in which there were 417 prisoners and
one Court, and then the Session lasted upwards of three
weeks; while, at the present Session, no less than 490
have been put upon their trial. We are glad to ob-
serve, that the crimes of horse-stealing and highway
robbery appear to be upon the decrease, as there ate
only two persons convicted of those offences at the pre-
sent Session. Many of the c ises appear to be those of
servants robbing their employers, and are heavy, in
point of enormity ; and when the number of prisoners
that were for trial at the commencement of the Session
is considered, it must, we fear, be admitted, there is no
decrease in crime. The greater part of the 26, who
had received sentence of death, are young men, appa-
rently not 30 years of age.
The following ate the names of the prisoners upon,
whom the Recorder. passed the awful sentence of death:
Henry Winigass alias Martin, Michael Williams alias Pain,
Frederick Wil Jobp Jones,.dames Robinson, Samuel Barnett,
Henry Co u, Harry Ward, Henry Johnson, Mary Haines, Thos.

A Jury of Matrons were sworn, who retired for the
purpose of ascertaining whether Elizabeth Smith was
or was not quick with child ; and after being absent
from Court a short time, they returned and brought in
a verdict, finding she was Quick with Child. The judg-
ment was accordingly respited.
The Sessions then adjourned to the £7th of October.

lost nearly half its native population, which originated
in excessive drought, producing a partial famine snd
estensive cholera morbus, in its different stages. The

The Hope, Nonass, which arrived on Thursday
from New South Wales and Rio, the formed of which
places she left on the 23d of March, and the latter on
the 26th of July, brings important dispatches from the
Government of New South Wales, relative to the
turbulent and very unsettled state of the country. She
states that the different authorities were divided among
themselves, and everything was in the utmost confusion.
From Rio she reports, that Sir CHARLES STUART had
arrived on the 24th of July, from whom she brought
dispatches. The Emperor Don Fenno met Sir

licly known, as to the result of his mission, when the
Hope left Rio.
Monday, the Nassau, TUMATNE, arrived from Sierra
Leone with a cargo of timber, being one of the last
'ships of the season. She left the Colony on the 25th
July, just as the rainy season had commenced. The
Colony was generally healthy. New barrack apart-
ments had been completed for the troops. The trade
of Colony has greatly increased; Not less than
20,000 tons of shipping, trading in timber and gum,
had left the Colony this season. Since the Ashantee
war, the traders in gold dust, in the interior, had taken.
a new course: to Sago (the capital of Bambarra, about
a month's journey from Sierra Leone), thence to Tim-
boo (the capital of the Fulls Country), and dawn to
Sierra Leone. 'The trade is now very considerable by
this route. General TURNER *had returned from his
first visit to the settlements on the Gold .Coast, made
with a view principally to the extension of trade.
