MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The Court was occupied yesterday till one o'clock
in hearing appeals from orders of Parish settlemer.r.
In one case it was ruled, that evidence of a minor's
having sworn falsely to his father'sconsent to a mar-
riage, in order to obtain a license, and whereby
license was granted, was not alone sufficient to avoid
the marriage, and bastardize the issue.
• After one o'clock the Court proceeded to receive
appliCation for licenses.

• A Petition was presented by Mr. Seymour, and
others, stating that they being the Proprietors of the
Pantheon buildings, Oxford-street, h:vl some since
re-entered thereon for non-payment cf rent, and were
now in actual and lawful possession: that Messrs.
Bonnar and Cundy had been each discharged from
prison under the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and had no
right or interest whatever in the premises; that the
buildings had latterly not been used for any purpose
of public amusement, and that applications had been
made to the petitioners, by several respectable pet-
sons, to have them reopened. The petitioners were
ready so to do, if they should succeed in obtaining
a license; humbly praying• his Worship might be
pleased to grant them one for the ensuing season, and
pledged themselves that, in that case, good conduct
and order should be observed in the management.
• Another-Petition, on the same subject, was pre-
sented from several Box-Proprietors, and Creditors,
to the amount of £20,000. It stated, that a sum of
£4.0,000 had been expended on the premises by Mr.
Nicholas Wilcox Cundy; assured the Covet that he ,
was the lawful occupant and real tenant thereof;
that the house had formerly been very well conducted.
under him, and entered into a pledge that-it would
be so ; recommended and humbly prayed, that a
license might be granted to Mr. Cundy, and conti-
nued from year to year, to open the house as a place
for dancing, singing, and other public amusements,
as the only means of turning it •to its intended use,
and liquidatisiglhe claims of its creditors.
A third Petition, with the same prayer as the last,
was Presented by Mr. Coady. .
The CHAIRII/li, in reply, said, that previous ap-
plications from two of die parties -had been already
iejected, and he felt it his duty to pursue the same
line, with respett to all of them, on this occasion.
Avotrucs obierved, that the only method
for the part;-es to get out of their difficulties and dif-
ferences was to go into Chancery, or refer- the case to
j arbitratci s.

Liceises fur the ensuing season were granted to
the ncinietors of the Lnglish Opera-Hesse and
Bagrizge Wells, respectively. •

We.are glad to learn that the corn crop has hassi
ge.ierally collected in good condi:ion, even ,ia the
most smote districts in the Highlands. Chain isV.
excellent quality and Ibundant : straw is in some*.
stances deficient. Potatoes are a superior crop.
CORN EXCHANGii, 141ARK-LANit, OCT. 30:

Our supply of English Corn continuing sTeTy small,
fine Wheat sold 2s. per quartet higher this morning,
and the demand ‘‘as brisk at that advance. What
little fine Barley appeared was readily disposed of;
on full as good terms as pn Wednesday; and the
scarcity of English caused an enlarged demand for
iEe best description of foreign Barley. Oats were
brisk in sale, and Is. per quarter dearer. In Pegs
and Beans there is no alteration.
