A gang of 25 robbers were apprehended in June, in
s 4 A the neighbourhood of Neuhureh and Seinitz, on the
the Bohemian frontier. For a period of four years they
uha had defied the utmost exertions of the civil power,
1 cri committing innumerable depredations, and amassing
)sec immense treasures. The secrecy with which their Cl-
mte peditions were planned, and the temerity with which.
', wl they were executed, rendered them a terror to all the
rite villages in their vicinity, none of whose inhabitants
ewg dared to take any steps against them. Their multi-
e'se plied offences, at length, rendered it necessary to em-
in ct ploy a military force, and a body of 150 troops were
rose detached, who, watching the passes of the mountains,
it v discovered their retreat. Five of the robbers were
oicti killed and eight wounded before the gang submitted.

LONDON SESSIONS.

A petition from the Carmen's. Company was read,
wherein they stated, that the rise in the price of hay,
&c. rendered the carrying on of their business next to
impossible, and prayed the Court to grant them an
addition of 20 per cent.

After healing Mr. BOLLAND in support of the pe-
tition, and Mr. REYNOLDS against it, the Court de-
creed unanimously, that the price having been- raised
last year twenty per cent. and there appearing now
no good reason for adding any thing more to the ad-
vance, that the price shall remain the same as was,
settled last year.
A miscreant, named Jorhna Wow:, who described
himself as a tide-waiter at the Custom House, was
indicted for assaultisg Abraham Henning, with in-
tent to commit an unnatural crime.

On the evidence of the prosecutor, (which decency,
of course, prevents us from entering into) as well as
that of Staunton, the officer, who apprehended him,
he was found Guilty, and sentenced to suffer twelve
months imprisonment in Newgate, and to stand in
the pillory one hour in Prince's-street, near the Bank.
The RECORDER said, that in consequence of the un-
exampled frequency of this worst of all possible vices
lring the last year or two, it was the determination
the Court to visit its conviction with the most ex-
iplary punishment in its power, in order (if punish-
lent shall be able to effect it) to deter others from
711 monstrous propensities.
Several assaults, of no interest, came also before
Court.

An act of the most atrocious nature was lately corn-
itted in the island of Sanday, Orkney :—A farmer
.ving had nineteen cattle and five hOrses stabbed in
course of one night. This is the third time the
same person has lost cattle in a similar way.
Thursday, a woman who was going to Tweed-
ouch with her husband's breakfast, suddenly dropped
)wn, and. expired in a, rev* minutes.
Last Wednesday, the Circuit Court of Justiciary

opened in Glasgow, by the Right Honourable I,
rd. ARMADALE. The Court proceeded to the trial I
Peter Ogilvy, for the murder of Margaret Hastie,
wife. The trial lasted several hours, when the
Jury were enclosed. The Jury on Thursday morning
returned their verdict, finding him guilty by a great i
plurality of voices ; bnt in respect of his former good
character and behaviour, which were proven by the
Gentleman in whose service he had been for five ,
years, and by others acquaiut:d with him, and other
circumstances appearing in proof, they recommend..
him to mercy.
Neil Leven, accused of stealing yarn from his mas. '
and Jame Buchanan, for stealing cows, both
pleaded guilty.
Jones Fleming, of Port Glasgow, accused of the
murde; of his wife, pleaded Not Guilty.. After the
examination of the deceased's brother and sister, and
two medical gentlemen who had examined the
body, the prosecutor consented that the Jury should
return a verdict of Not Proven, which they accord.
317 did on Thursday; and the prisonerafterreceiving
mutable exhortation frcrn the Judge, was dismissed
from the bar..
Thursday morning were brought to the har, Roterl
Lang, sen. and Robert' tang, jun. accused of shop.
breaing; and ilfetrgaret Ferguson, wife of Lang, sen.
accused of aceipt of theft.
The libel was restricted to an arbitrary punishment.
They all pleaded Guilty.
