OLD BAILEY SESSIONS-THIS DAY.

These Sessions commenced this moroing at the Jostler Hall is
the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Osmium Mr. Justiei Lim&
bias, the LOAD MATOS, RICOILDIK. ALI'S/lint!, &c. &c.

At nine o'clock, Mr. Sergeant trn;is his seat on this
Bench, and the Court having been opened with the usual formatia,
*swearing of the Grand and Petit Juries was proceeded with.

• *.chwe the Jurors summoned on the Middlesex side, applied FA
&Court to be excused serving.
• Mr. Sergeant Asian--On what ground, Sir, do you beg to be
excused ?
Applicant—Because, Sir, I could not conscientiously mot* a
verdict, the tendency of which would be to inflict the penalty of
death! - -

Court—What are .your reasons, Sir? If you have any, pray
state them ?

Applicant—My reasons, my Lord are, that I think the penalty Of
death ought tcrbe abolished.
Mr. Sergeant Allll/11-Iteally, Sir, you are a very extraor-
dinary person. The laws of your country say very different; but
I cannot now ask you any further questions. The Learned Sergeant
turning to the Jurors already impanelled, said, perhaps, Gentlemen,
it would be as well not to have so conwientious a Juror amongst
you. The applicant was directed to stand down, and the remainder
of the Jurors were sworn, after which
Another Gentleman who was placed in a similar situation as to
his conscientious scruples, was also excused.
The Learned Searotawv,after the Juty had been sworn in, said,
though the Court would endeavour to dispense with the services of
the Gentlemen in question, yet they must be in attendance in case
they should be called en, and the proper officer would inform them
when they must attend.
There are no less than 248 prisoners for trial on the present oc-
casion, three of whom are charged with the capital crime of forgery.
Win. Car Johnson was put to the bar on an indictment charging
him with stealing a mare value 50i. the property of John Tilbury.
This prisoner, it will be recollected, stood indicted at the last Ses-
sions, but applied to the Court to have his trial postponed, which
was granted. Mr. C. Phillips was retained for the protetution en
the present occasion, but the prosecutor did not answer when
called on, and the Learned Counsel declined enteiing on the case.
The prisoner was consequently ordered to be diikharged.
Mr. Justice Gasecre finding that there were wverahlepoeitions
wanting, said that there was an Act of Parliament to compel Police
Magistrates to make the return, and if they did not do so, they were
liable to be epees and he would take care that the law should to
curied into effect.

TRADE OF THE BLACK SEA.

Sta—l have the honoer to acquaint Toe, for the Intermittoe of
tie Committee of Lloyd's, and others concerned in the ttade of the
Black Sea, that the Imperial Government has established a light-
boots on the Wand of Tendra, in the Black Sea, which was lighted
so the iSth of September last, for the first time.
As lighting of this light-house is regulated upon the following
Wenn—

At an elevation of 92k feet above the level of the sea, three re-
flecting lamps are suspended, placed in the form of a triangle, and
having a horizontal movement ; the space of time required for each 1
rotation is four minutes. It mast be observed, that the movement of •
•ach lamp is performed in such a way, that the light increases
Maisilly, till it arrives at Its Wilmot degree of light, after which it
diminishes again insensibly.
The tame gradation is aiso observed by the other two lasaps,wbkh
succeed in the same order. It follows that the observer, who con.
witted the effect of the light without changing places, will per-
ceive each of the lamps arrived at Its highest degree of light in an
ilatrital of one minute and twenty seconds, which form the third
Put of a complete rotation, and which !outlive, as has been ob-
served before, is of four minutes.
The hght.house will be lighted every day at night, and the fire
condnue tilid.y.light.
ft is intended hereafter to ha ' bell, which will only be made
use of on such dal 5 when when light canaut be distinguished oo

THE EARL Of LIVERPOOL

mat Tel COWS/ CISCULAIII.
The• Noble Earl had experienced a tendency of blood
to the head previous to visiting Bath at the beginning
of this year, during which visit. his Lordship did not
.derive that relief which, in former years when he went
to Bath, he was accustomed to do.
Yesterday morning, after a good night's rest, his
Lordship felt so much better, that he expressed a de-
sire to see some official papers, which, however, had
been strictly forbidden by his medical attendants.
The'number of inquiries yesterday morning was very
great. A little before 12 o'clock, the Medical Gentle-
men attending the Noble Earl arrived, and held it cap-
sulation. after which they issued the Bulletin which
appeared in yesterday's STAR. A Messenger was im-
mediately dispatched to the Liao. at Brighton, with
the fat report of the Medical Gentlemen.
His Lordship continued in the same favourable state,
during the whole of the afternoon.
About ten o'clock last night, Sir HENRY HALTORD,
Sir ASTLILY COOPZR, and Dr. Darman, again assembled,
and continued in consultation till half past ten o'clock,
when they separated, after stating that they found "his
Lordship is the same state as in the morning."

SAL' or rot LATE DUKE OF YORK'S

MOND DAT.
The property submitted to auction by Mr. CURISTIE,
yesterday, consisted of part of the choice old wines, pur-
chased at various periods by his Royal Highness, and
of a selection of splendid cut-glass, and valuable foreign
and English porcelain. The latter articles sold remark.
ably low, considering the additional value they possessed
beyond what they were intrinsically worth. There were
PM so many Ladies present as on the pt eceding day when
the linen was disposed of, which probably may in some
measure account for the china and glass not fetching so,
mach as was anticipated. There were 27 lots of cut.
The
and porcelain sold before the wines were offered.l
The fine old Port made from 71. 10d. to 81.4 d. a bottle,
and was sold in lots of three dozens each. These were
.nt two lots of Sherry, which fetched 41.141. per dozen
(7s. 10.1. a bottle.) Some of the Madeira was excel-
lent, and sold for 12s. 2d. a bottle (61. 6s. adox#l4l
The inferior Madeira, bottled in 1822, sold for yosti
half its much—viz. three guineas a dozen. The Con
-
mania wine consisted of 26 lots, of three dozens
each (in pints), and averaged 4s. Bd. a pint, 21. 16s. the
doz. The Tokay was excellent, and made about a guinea
a bottle. The brandy and shrub sold very well. Several

was followed by the glee of " Glorious Apollo." After
the drinking of this toast, •
The Hon. SaCilaTA air to the Club announced that an
anonymous member had presented them with a copy of
the whole of the late Von Weber's vocal composition*,

comprising many which had newer before appeared
this coeutry. Thera was also another contri-

au eminent artist, and a member of the Club. The con-
tribution to which he alluded was an admirable bust of
Mr. Braham, which adorned the upper pal t of the room.
Tne execution and singular fidelity of the work might be

CROWN RIDE.

William Thomas was indicted for stealing, on ti e22d
of May List, at Upper Beeding, a mare, the property of
Mr. Boni.iface.

It appeared in evidence, that the mare in question
was safe in the prosecutor's stable at eight in the even-
ing, and was missing from thence at four next morning.
The stable was in a field which opened to the road, was
secured only by a bar across the doorway, which was
found standing upright in the stable at the time when
the mare was missing. At half-past three the same
morning the prisoner, who was a tenant of the prose-
cutor, was seen riding the mare near the pro-
cutot's premises. The next day a reward was publicly
advertised for the recovery of the mare, and in a day
or to after she was found straying on a common a
few miles off. Shortly after the publication of the
advertisement of the reward, the prisoner called on the
prosecutor, and told him, if he would give him the
reward, he thought he could find the mare. Upon
this he was taken into custody, from which he endea-
voured to escapee and upon searching him a bridle was
found in his pocket.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent
character.

• The Learned JUDGE left it to the Jury to say, Whether
the prisoner had obtained possession of the mare with
intent to steal it, directing them, if they had any doubt
upon that subject, to take his good character into con-
sideration, and to acquit him.
The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict,
that the pi isoner had taken the mare for the purpose
of obtaining the reward.
The Learned JUDGE observed, that he could not re-
ceive such a verdict. The Jury must find the prisoner
either guilty or not guilty.
The Jury again consulted a short time, and then
found the prisoner Guilty—Death. Judgment recorded.

COI/11T OF CIIIANCIIRT, Avoust 14.
The LORD CHANCELLott Wal occupied tIIC %Nil. le clay
in hearing bankrupt petition'.

iN re 8111410S1Y.
Mr. MONTACW was heard on behalf eidie petitioner,
who prayed that the commission issued against him
might be superseded. The commission had been issued
under that pact of the SJ section of the new Bankrupt
Act, which declares that any fraudulent gift, delivery,
or transfer of any of his goods or chattels by a trader,
shall be an act of bankruptcy. The facts of the case
were, that the petitioner bring confined by illness, had
been attended by a Dr. Agnew, whose son was a credi-
tor of the petitioner'; ; and it was alleged, that because
the petitioner had given into the custody of his medical
attendant, on behalf of his son, certain goods, he had
thereby so far preferred one creditor over the others as
to have brought himself within the operation • f thi•
clause. The Counsel commented on the affidavits
which had been filed, and Contended that they disproved
the allegation on which the commission was f runded.
and that therefore it ought to be superseded. He ob
served also that the tendency of that part of the clause
in the Act which was applied to this case was to hare,
duce a new and harsh practice against debtors. who
were by means of it exposed to the hazard of long and
expensive litigation, which would prove too heavy even
for many solvent m. n to bear.—The ctmclusion of ►he
argument wa. postponed.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, dm 24.

Samuel Taylor %v.'s brought up oft his petition from
the Mar.hal,ea. lie described himself ■s a tidewaiter
in his Majesty's Custnms, and was opposed by a Mt.
Ho fs r a debt of .51.

Mr. Ei,lland stated that he oppoteJ the insolvent on
the ground sitar he WAS receiving a liberal salary from
the Custom Hou e, from which he was convinced he
could well afford to discharge his debt, which had been
incurred for various a ticles of weari• g apparel wish
which he had supplied him. After having examined
Taylor at some length, he concluded by asking him if
he could not afford to pay 2s. a•week from his salary ?
Taylor replied, he would leave it to the Court to s.y
whether he could afford to do so, when he had a wife
and four children to maintain on a salary of SOL r•year,
and the whole of his income amounting to little more
than double that sum.

The Counr were of opinion that the insolvent should
be discharged, but that he should pay the Si. from the
amount of one year's salary—the year to commence at
the next January quarter.

CIVIL SIDIC.HOLDITCH V. POLLARD.

This w.ts an action to recover the sum of 41. 9s. 3d.
the price t t a cask of cider, furnished by the plaintiff to
•the defendant.

The case was substantially this :—The plaintiff was a
cider merchant, in Devonshire, and the defendant was
the landlord of the White Hart Inn, at Lewes. The
rlaintiff had furnished the defendant with a cask of cider,
in the year 1826, and in June, 1826, his son, who acted
as his traveller, being in the course of his journey at
Lewes, called upon the defendant for the price of the
cider. Net finding the defendant at home, the plaintiff's
s•ms left a note requesting that the money might be sent
to him at Brighton, whither he was going, by a carrier
named Moon, and he enclosed in the note a stamped
receipt ter the money. The money not being sent, fur-
ther applications for it were made to the defendant, first,
by Moon, and afterwards by a man named Thorne, on
the part of the plaintiff; and both those persons were
d as witnesses (or the plaintiff, and swore positively
th4t they never received the money, although they had
repeatedly applied for it. The delivery of the cider and
the fairness of the price were not disputed; but the de-
fence set up was, that the money bad been paid to the
witness Thorne, who, it was suggested, must have im-
properly appropriated it to his own use. In support of
this case, Anne Lavender, the bar-maid at the White
Hart, a Lady of most dashing appearance, was called,
and swore that she was present when Thorne called
upon the defendant for the money, and that she saw the
defendant hand him over the amount, which Thorne
immediately put into his pocket and went away.
The case went to the Jury upon the question to whom
they Would give credit, the bar-maid or the witness
Thorne ; and they, after a short deliberation, found their
verdict for the plaintiff, damages 4/. 9s. 3d. thereby sup-
porting the testimony of Thorne.

QUEEN-SQUARE..

W. Roberts was charged with stealing a rosewood writing-desk
from his lodgings on Pimlico Terrace. The prisoner confessed the
fact; said it was his first offence; that he had been brought up to
a genteel profession, but had been unfortunate; that his friends were
in consequence alienated from him ; and that he was truly sorry
for his misconduct, which severe distress had driven him to. Lie
, was, however, fully committed.
A boy, about thirteen years old, in an extreme state of destitu-
tion, was brought up by a watchman, having been found sleeping
in one of the nooks of Westminster-bridge. It was stated that he
is Hickson of a man retired from business, but who formerly kept
a pastry-cook's shop on the Surrey aide of Westminster-bridge, that
this boy, and two girls, rather older, were the offspring of a female
with whom he lived ; the father had discarded her acid the girls,
and married another. One of the girls was some time since brought
before Mr. hlatriott, with some other females, who sent her to the
Magdalen. The boy had ►een in the Workhouse, but left it, and
bad been employed casually, but latterly, as he said, subsisted upon
what other boys gave him. The father did not appear, and the
Magistrate committed the boy for 14 days to Tothill Fields Prison,
at the expiration of which time, the Overseers of Lambeth Parish
are to take charge of him.

UNION-HALL

Two men, Taylor and Cook, were charged with attempting to
break into the house of Me. Pratt, in Coburg-place, Kennington.
The prisoners were found concealed in an out-house, and on their
persons were discovered apparatus for breaking into houses. They
were conveyed to the Vauxhall cage, out of which they managed to
escape, after the night constable had gone off duty, at free o'clock
in tke morning. They were, however, subsequently apprehended
and brought before the Magistrates, when one of them (Cook) re-
lated the manner in which he and his fellow prisoner made their
escape out of the watchhouse. He stated, that when the constable
went away, on looking through the bars, he (Cook) saw a crow-
bar lying outside on the ground immediately under the grating; be
endeavoured to reach it, but could not, when he procured a long
nail, with which he was enabled to bring the instrument sufficiently
close to reach it. Having got possession of the crow-bar, he and
his companion iminmediately set to work, and soon liberated them-
selves by bursting open the door. He added, that it would appear
as if somebody placed the crow-bar where he picked it up, in
order that they might see it, and make use of.
Several robberies having recently been committed in the neigh-
bourhood of Kennington, the prisoners were remanded, on suspicion
of having been concerned in them.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday an athletic fellow, in the garb of a country hawker, was
brought before Mr. Sergeant Sei.Loti the Sitting Magistrate,oharged
by Henry St. John, Esq.of Mount Pleasant, Hornsey, with felony.
Hannah Fowden, one of Mr. St. John's domestics, stated, that
between twelve and one o'clock on Monday, while entering the
front parlour, she saw the prisoner with his hand in the drawer of
the sideboard. On her approach he leaped out at the window, which
was open. She instantly gave the alarm, followed, and collared the
prisoner in the road. Being a powerful man, he broke from her
grasp, and lied in the direction of Islington, pursued by her and the
other servants, who never lost sight of him till taken by a neigh-
bouring tradesman.
Mr. Richard Nayres, a butcher In the vicinity, said that be
stopped the prisoner in the act of crossing a ditch by the road-side.
He begged to be let go, as it was only a lark. On searching the
ditch, two sovereigns, two half sovereigns, about thirty pieces of
ancient and modern curious coins, a silver nutmeg-grater, and a
gold watch-case, were found.
William Alder, parish constable, said that he searched the pri-
soner's person, and found seven shillings in silver, a quantity of
Indian glue in payers, two bundles of black lead pencils, two dice,
and a large knife.
The prisoner stoutly denied having been in the house at all.—He
was remanded for a week.

IMBER, Ave.

DalAtit-01. Ftltc—A dreadful ioneagration occurred
here yesterday, which at one time threatened destruc-
tion to the whole of the town. About half past two
o'clock, rats an alarm of a fire" seas raised, .he premises
of W. Tinker, Esq. an opulent farmer, being discovered
to be enveloped in one entire blaze. Nothing could
exceed the awfulness and grandeur' of the sight, all the
out-houses, barns, stables, wheat, straw, hay-stacks, &c.
blasting to such an Immense height, as to be distinctly
seen several miles distant, which btought immense
numbers of persons to the spot. 'lite devouring
elements soon communicated to the premises of
Mr. Millard, and also a part of Mr. Wentworth's
farm, *here one large hay-rick was destroyed.
The dry state of the materials bid defiance to the en.
gins brought from Warminster and Heytesbury, and
the exertions of the inhabitants and firemen. Mr. Mil-
lard's hou,e was soon rated to the ground, together
with two cottages, and with them nearly all the furni-
ture. The engines have been in constant motion all the
night, and have at length succeded in extinguishing the
destructive fire. A great quantity of poultry fell a prey
to the flames, as well as waggons and other implements
of husbandry. The fire was occasioned by the care-.
lessoess of a boy, who was foolish enough to carry a
hot iron across the straw-yard, for the purpose of re
pairing a waggon, and letting it fall on the straw, it
ignited, and the fire spread with a rapidity that defied
every attempt to subdue it.—Bate awl Cheltenham
