KINGSTON, FRIDAY, MARCH ea.
Yesterday was the Commission-day for bolding the
Assizes for the County of Surrey, and the Jndges
arrived during the course of the afternoon. They
opened their commission, and heard divine service,
on the same day ; and this morning began, the law
business of the County. The Calendar of prisoners
is heavy : there are five cases of murder, one of
which for parricide; but on the civil side the busi.
ness is about the average, and no case of any great
importance.
Francis Richards, a pauper in the Lambeth poor-
house, was 'capitally convicted under Lord Ellenho.
rough'4-aet, of.stabbing and cutting William Dibley.
The prosecntor was the baker to the workhouse, arid
on the 4th ot. January he went to the prisiner m tell,
him to appear before the Committee, there having
been some complaint nude against him. The priso-
ner refused to attend, and swore be would stab any
person who should attempt to farce him. The pro.
secular attempted to lay hold.of him, when the pri-
soner made several thrusts at him with a knife. one
of which went through the scalp betweeen the flesh-
' and the skull.

An attempt was made to prove the prisoner in-.
sane, but it failed, and he was found Guity—Death.
Jame; Ifaseand and .lama Raiford were capitally
'lndicted fnr feloniously discharging a .loaded gun,
$ the 98th of December itst, at George Coldham
Irodieht, Esq with intent to kill and murder.
rge Coidham Knight deposed, that lie resided I
in .parish of Farnham, in the county of Surrey. On
the earning of the day stated in the indictment, he
was returning home to his house on horseback, and.
labout nine o'clock had reached nearly Cucksbridge-
Wow, when he observed three men in the road. A
Wake from one on his left said to his companions--
°Take bold, take hold!" while another on the right
cried out, "Stop, 041" He took ao notice, how.
over, of this, sad was proceeding neariy abreast of
tho three men, whom he had scarcely passed when a
Lift was discharged, and his horse, from the fright,
was struck suddenly still. Witness then looked about
sad the assailants were running away. He did not
eacelvo any injury, and in a minute or so rode on
Bsin, and goveafe home. He had no knowledge,
ate parties who bad thus attacked him, nor could
be distinguish any thing particular in their featurei
or persons, from the darkness of,. the night. He hid
offered a reward of 1000 guineas for the apprelienlion
of the offenders; but no trace %is discovered of thew!,
until March last, when a, person named IN'hiting,
who had been engaged in the transaction, and also
was apprehended upon .suspicion of various felonies,
made a confession of the circutustaute, and became
a King's evidence..
The Jury found Raeford Not Guilty. and Ham
mood Guilty—Death. The Jury tyiptorneodc4 itun

The fineness of yesterday, and the variegated cos-
tume of -the female pedestrians, presented a lively
picture about four o'clock. Perhaps Hyde Park
never exhibited greater crowds, notwithstanding the
great annoyanceproceeding f roan dust and a gravelly
soil. Vegetation, in consequence of the logs conti.
tined easterly winds, did not put on,,its ustral smiles
at this season ; indeed, we could not boast of the rare
combination of Opposite qualities in nature and art.—
The costume of the season will not appear until her
Royal Highness the Piincess Cummovrea taste ap.
Pears—that will decide the colours for spring fa-
shions. In the equipages of most note were the fol-
lowing Ladies of distinction :
. The Duchesses of Somerlet, Grffton, Montrose ; Marchio-
news of Thommul, Downstage, Salisbury, Camdent Bucking.
Lansdowne ; Countesses of ncesdatiliaite, Aboyaeb'rebot,
Postmen, Darnley, Limerick, Darusitt;th, Caernarvon ; Ladies
Ileatth, Burgess, Hoyd, Grantham, Castkreagb, Duncombes and
C. Vyner.
The bar in the Green Park, nearly. opposite York
Bouse, has been recently altered, so as to afford a
passage for pedestrians' on their way to Hyde Park,
instead of being obliged to vault over, or stoop under
it—movements hitherto attended with a display of
the teen-turned ancle of many a Sunday Bells I
