OLD RAMEY SESSIONS, JAP. 16.

nodes 1114ile, aged 58 years, a Eutcher, was indicted
for stealing seven pigs, value 161. the property of &Fah
Colvin:. There wire 1.5 t less than tour inclictorents
against the pri.oner for frauds and felonies.
Messrs. l'itti.t.irs and CLARKSON were Counsel for
the pri,oner.
Mrs. Col sins is a widow, residing at Lambeth Butts ;
on the 4th of Octoher last, the pritoner and a conft-
rierate, routed Lte (not in custody), ertered her yard,
and neg tiered w ith her for the purchase of seven pigs,
and to give her r.dy 4n,,ney for the same; the bar-
g tin sta. to p.ty her 16i 12s. 6d. and she told the psi
sorer she n ust have the aioney 0.1 delivery, because

her Lend:ord se, uld distress he; for the gnaiter's rein
she °sled liiniof she did not pay him; the pigs mete
put into a can, and the prosecutor and her bur took
them to a house of the prisoner's in Leathe, lane;
sl'e seas silted by White into his house, and she took

sefre Lore. t, anti her boy, named Mack, remained in
the yard with the cart and pigs; after she had been
kept in conversation for sorr.e time by the prisoner aod
Lee, the latter went out, and returned in half an hour,
and said that he had go! a 501. cheque, and he would
•go to a public !loose ill the neighbourhood and endea-
vour to g t it changed ; a ri his return he said he could
not gtt c4bh for et. a d the prisoner and Lee drew up a
promissory note in payment for the pigs, and gave her
a sovereign in addition; she was told by the prisoner
that she would get cash for the note on the Monday fol-
lowing.; and she took it because she could get nothing
el e; the man Lee and the prisoner's son, prior to her
agreeing to take the note, had obtained the pigs from
her boy by falsely representing to him that the pigs had
been stttled for, and had.driven them soar.
Mack confirmed the above statemen•, and it was
pre ved the bill had never been paid.
Mr. Ju►tice PARK exi-lAined the law as regards the
tlca distinction between fraud and felony. if the pri-
soner agreed to pay ready money for the pigs, the pos-
session of the property would remain in the prosecutrix
tell si e was paid;. and if the prisoner g.it pos,e,sion no
the property from the savant of tl.e prosecutris by

means of the fake preteuce that they had been settled
t r, that was a f loroous taking ; and after that, the act
of paying a n,)te would not purge the felony.
The Jury found the p isoner
It wa. not &tined necessity to try him on the other
ind•ctnnents.

Members on this lt,ntnn Catholic Qt-bti,nt, tallith had
been axed for discl...ton at thi, Meeting.

RoMAN C tTH,ILIC CLAIUS.

Mt. M`rantatic, ut St. Hunch's, said that from the correspon-
dence which had talk. ti place between the Duke of Wellington and
Dr. Curtis. be saw no necessity for bringing forward the motion
regarding this subject, as it was evident ir.im these letters that the
subject would not be brought torward iu Pstliattient this Session.
Dr. kl•Leau said he was dertrmined to Wing lorwatd the cosi-
sbleration of these cl.dms, and, if possihle, to have June with it at
once. lie was nut of the same sit inion wils the Reverend Gen.
'tkman in thinking that the subject should he stopped in consequence
'en the lettersrhat have passed betwixt Dt. Curtis and the Duke of
• Wellington ; on the other baud, the correspondence alluded to loss
pressed bins the more with its necessity.
. Ali. APl:Austin then moved than the discussion of the subject
be deterred till the first Wednesday in March, and assigned as a
reason tbat err that time it wi.uld be known in all wh.it
were the intentions of Government. This motion, however, after
considerable discussion, was overruled, and the subject entered into.
Dr. 114.1tatt introduced the question with a speech, alike die.
dngulshed for mend argunwnt and deep and extensive research.
The Reverend Gentleman spoke nearly two hours: Ile men-
tioned direr• interesting particulars regarding the impropriety of
coneeding, these claims, and concluding by proposing that a Peti-
tion be instantly forwarded to the King, expressive of the impro.,
priety, as well as danger, of granting further concessions to the
woman Catholics
During the discussion as to the necessity of instantly petitioning
upon this subject,
Dr. Ai•Glia., the present Moderator of the General Assembly,
said, in reference. to the proceedings and public conduct ot the
Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, that the Mar-
quis's conduct generally, and particularly to his Majesty's Govern-
ment, was the result of a weak mind, uncalled (or, and as injudi-
cious as it was ungratefuL lie looked at it with indignation; and
with unspeakable contempt and disgust.

FALKIRK, JANUARY 13.

'Between the hours of two and three this morning, one
of .the Carron Company's lighters, when on her way to
Glasgow, caught fire in the Forth- and Clyde Canal, in
this neighbourhood. She had on the day preceding
'received a valuable cargo at Grangemouth from on
board one of the Company's London traders. The goods
on board of the tighter consisted of about 70 chests of
tea, 70 bales ut cotton, five tons of saltpetre, ten ca-ks
,sf tallow and oil, besides brandy, wine, ate. It is not
exactly known how the fire originated ; the flames as-
cended to an alarming height, which illuminated the
street, of this town so much, that the smallest a►ticle
could have been seen. Mungo Brown, one of the lighter-
men, went into the hold to throw water, when he was
suffocated, and burnt to a cinder. This poor man lately
lost his wife, and has left six small children, in a state
of destitution, to deplore his loss.
We have just returnet from viewing the wreck,
where we saw Mr. Dawson, tt e manager of the Carron'
Company, in attendance, with a greet number of wmk-
men, unloading the lighter, which has been sunk m the
Canal. The banks were covered with damaged cotton,
tea, dye-atuff►, bales of ax-cloth, straw plait, b'oken
&c. while the surface of
.the Canal was covered
with tallow and other goods. The loss is supposed to
exceed 80001.—Cakdoai►zn Mercury.

SOUTHWARK SESSIONS.

--

The adjourned Sessions commenced yesterday morn-
ing, at the Town Hill, before Mr. Alderman WOOO,
Chairman, the RECORDER, &e.
James Edwards was inJicted for stealing a law, plate,
and two squares, the property of James Brown, his
master, a cabinet maker.
The prisoner, on being arraigned, persisted in plead.
ing guilty, although advised to stand his trial, and take
every chance of the charge not being proved, as his
plea of Balky would not avail him.
The prosecutor being called, said the prisoner had a
large family, and his poverty had no doubt caused him
to commit the offence. He earned 11. per week while
in his savior/ bet had previously been a long time out
of employ.
The Court observed that the prisoner had been in gaol
since the 29 Is of December last, and therefore the sen-
tence was, that the prisoner pay a fine of one shilling
and be discharged.
There was another charge against the prisoner for
stealing a saw from a Mr. Hitchcock, and the plea of
46 Osiky" was again recorded.
The RWOIIOIIII said he would not press any further
punishment, but cautioned the prisoner as to future
proceedings.

The whole city is in the utmost censtcrnat.on at tin• r.pL :

make peace on any terms. The Commissioners are ahead)
pointed, who are to gu to the Russian headquarters to lean:
conditions the Emperor of Russia now demands, for
of the foreign diplomatic agents here is acquainted with his in:- n
dons, not even Baron Muffling, who was said to have come.
pressly to let the Porte know on what term: the suspension of ho•-
tilities might be obtained. General Michas& is approacts.i...
Adrianople, whence he threatens to march against Constatitinorlr.
General Paskewitsch is said to have left Erztroutn, and to has,.
divided his army into two corps, one of which is proceeding ■gait:•t
Trtbisond. and the other against Jokat, that is on the road t.;
Scutari. This manoeuvre has entirely discouraged the Sultan,wll:,
according to accounts that deserve ciedit. has been ill for the•--

BUCHAREST, Aua. se°.

A report has been in circulation since yesterday eb it Turkish
Commissioners have come Irons Shumla to Gen. Krassowsky, t.,
propose an armistice ; but that Gen. refusing to listen to them, they
asked a safe conduct to the head-quarters of Gen. t)icbitsch, to tie-
gociate a general armistice. It i• added that they failed in their ap
plicatiun to the General in Chief, because the first condition be pri
posed was that Shumla should be evacuated and given up to the
Russians. This news, however, rests on the credit of private com-
munication, and requires confirmation. All the Turks, however,
wish fur peace, for dash affairs are in a had state ; it is not imp:u.
bable that Sbuntla may soon fall ; the Grand Vizier himself i• said
to he in despair. '!he garrison of Nicopulis has ventured to in .he
an excursion to the lett bank of the Danube, but has paid dearly
for it, for the Russian Commander before Ghiurgevo leartiin!, :hat
Turkish cavalry had appeared near Twirnoul, sent a detachniet:t sit
heavy cavalry to drive tient from the left bank, which was .!ore
without mucu trouble. Many of the Turks were killed, and several
hundred taken prisoners. It is even affirmed that not a man 4:-
turned to Nicopolis to announce the misfortune. The Wallachians
are more and more pleased with the new schools, in which the
system of mutual instruction is chiefly followed. The pours r
classes are eager to let their children enjoy the benefits of edisc..-
tion, and the progress of the young people in a country which till
now had hardly any public school, is equally surpr.sinz and s.itis-
factor y.

THE KING.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 13.—This forenoon the KING, with
the members of his honsehold in waiting, attended divine
service at the Chapel Royal, adjoining the Royal Lodge.
—ln the afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, his MA -
JEsTY, accompanied by the LORD STEWARD, left the
Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, attended by his usual
retinue. His MAJESTY always drives his own phaeton,
but frequently has a change of ponies, which he in general
drives in a fair trot at the rate of 12 miles an hour.—
They are beautiful animals inured to hard exercise, but
well attended to. His MAJESTY'S drives in the course
of the afternoon were chiefly confined to the Great Park.
Thursday afternoon the KING, accompanied by the
Lord Steward, in his pony phaeton, and attended by Sir
HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir CHARLES PAGET, and Lord
and Lady STR ATI( A VEN, in the double-bodied phaeton,
with the usual retinue of out-riders, left the Royal Lodge,
and in the course of their recreative drives visited the
Castle, where the Royal party remained but a short time,
and returned by the new line of road into the Long Walk,
proceeding direct to the Royal Lodge, where they ar-
rived at half-past five o'clock. The distinguished party
had the honour of dining and passing the evening with
his MAJESTY. Saturday Sir CHARLES PAU ET and Sir
HERBERT T.%vtoit left the Royal Lodge on their return
to town ; and, owing to the unfavourable state of the
weather, his MAJESTY did not leave the Royal Lodge.
This afternoon the bands of the Royal Blues and First
Regiment of Foot Guards gave alternately, for upwards
of two hours, a grand display of their musical talents on
the Castle Terrace, to the great delight of a numerous
and respectable assemblage.
Her Royal Highness Princess AUGCSTA continues her
visit to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
of CLARENCE, and is not expected to arrive at her resi-
dence at Froginore until Friday next.
His MAJESTY is expected to leave the Royal Lodge
about the middle of the next month, for the purpose of
paying a visit to Brighton. His MAJESTY is expected
to stay at the Pavilion for at least three months. The
private band expect orders to attend.— Windsor Express.
The Kum has at length signified to his Coterie at the
Royal Cottage his intention to visit Brighton before the
close of the present year—probably early in November.
The site on which the Lodge in the Great Park stands,
notwithstanding every effort in the way of draining and
trenching made by the most experienced builders, is far
front healthy in a wet winter. The Pavilion at Brighton
is always ready for the KING'S reception, by merely un-
covering the furniture, and putting up the curtains. A
certain portion of that Chinese Temple is composed of
such fragile materials as to require constant renovation,
to prevent its crumbling into ruins. These repairs the
Brightonians annually convert into " note of prepara-
tion" for the return of the KlNG—in the present instance
they are right.

MUNICH, Siff. 4.

It WAS the same French courier that left Constantinople on the
17th of Augu•t that brought to the Russian Legations at Vienna
and Munich the letter of General Diebitsch's of the 20th August,
officially announcing the taking of Adrianople. This courier must
have passed through the Russian head-quarters where tire dis-
patch to Al. de Tatischeff was given to him. Tim French Go-
vernment must, therefore, be very soon informed of this gre.t
event. It will be worth while to remark, whether it will haste
to publish it.

two German Jew pedlars, stood indicted for stealing on the 241 of
Sept. in the city of Worcester, a Bank of England note for M. six
valuable gold watches, and other attacks, value 3001. the property
of 'Matthias Lesser.

Both the prisoners, on being placed in the dock. rem cted their
plea of " Not Guilty," awl pleaded " Guilty," which, 41-ter a
long but ineffectual attempt by Mr. Common Sergeant (through an
interpreter) to alter their resolution, was recorded.
Several persons came forward and gave t!•c pri.mier Lery a good
character for honesty, &c. and stated that they helievkd hi 11 to
have been the dupe of Barlirner.

Francis Parsons, aged 26 years, stool inticted for stealing two
hams and 1001 b. of bacon, value .51. on the 24th of July, the pro-
perty of :Mr. Thomas Brown, of Grafton-street, SAD; and
mos and Margaret Jackson, for receiving the same, well knowing
them to have been stolen.

It appeared front the evidence adduced that the prisoner Parsons
came to the shop of the prosecuior and ordered the t.;11043% lied ::1
the indictment, saying they should he paid for nit delivery. On
their being sent home, the prisoner told the porter that if he would
,go back with him to Ali. Brown's sh p he wou4 there pay Mr. If.
for the good.. On the way there P.sf 401 M gave the porter 4. I. g
hail," and the bacnti and hams were found concealed in the cellar
of the mist:slier Jackson's hour, in Bainbridge-street, St. Gies...
Nlr. Brown stated that he saw nothing of value in the pris,serr.s
house save his own goads. There w•:14 nothing hut a few ilia/shine
pigs' beads.

London, Irish, do you?

PERA, AUGUST 16.

The Turkish Commissioners have at length received dodo s
to repair to the Russian head-quarters, and the city appears
more tranquil. Many difficulties, however, must Le remuved
before peace can be made, and it is inconceivable that the
Ports can expect its proposals to be accepted. They are said
to be the evacuation of the Turkish territory, and all the fortresses
by the Ruuians, and the integrity of the empire, with the excep-
tion of the Morea and the Cyclades, which it will recognise as in-
dependent, provided the tribute is equal to the taxes formerly levied
there. On these terms the Porte will consent punctual), to exe-
cute the Treaty of Akermanti, and to open the Bosphorus to Me
commerce of Russia. The progress of the Russian arms will pro-
bably make the Porte change its tone. The following statement
will show, however, the degree of its infatuation and noensibility
to the situation in which it is, and to its own weakness.

When Baron Musing, who arra, d here ill on the 4th of hug.
was presented to the Reis Effendi some days afterwards, the latter
expressed his surprise that be should make so long a journey in such
a state of health, merely to show the Porte the necessity of making
peace and he(the Reis Effendi) dial net conceive what interest other
nations could have in the differences between Russia and the Pot t,,or
think so much of them, as nothing extraordinary had occurred, and
the good understanding of the two Courts had merely experienced
a temporary interruption. lie spoke as if peace still subsi.ted, and
only the diplomatic relations were disturbed. The General is said
to have shown some surprise, and to have observed that cannon-
balls had been exchanged. To which the Reis Effendi replied—
" 'these are every day occurrences, and of no importance."
In the second-conference the Reis Effendi is said to have taken
a different view of the event, but to have expressed himself in a
manner not calculated to give a high idea of Turkish diplomacy.
Another letter from Pera, on the contrary, says that the Grand
Vizier is commusioned to negociate with Gen. Deiblitch the basis
of the conditions brought by Gen. Muffling, and that the latter,
whose health was restored, intended to set out on the iit of Sept.
to return home, by way of Malta and Genoa.—allgemeine ZeitNtig

DRUSSELS, Sirr. 11.

A letter from Odess.t. t..f August 21, says, that Admiral Greigh,
after the taking of Vussilico and Achleboli (Agathopolis),was going
to attack Inada (Ainada), .2.8 leagues from Constantinople, to order
to make himself master at that port.

slowly ; q e hear it will be completed by the end of this month.—.-
There are ',Ague accounts of some liberal principles which it will
contain, but connected wi„11 others which will neutralize their ef-
fect. It is to be feared that the law will not offer a consistent
whole, and that, like many other measures proceeding from the
Goirerpment, it will not satisfy any body.

MANSION HOUSE.

Saturday a young man, named Anderson, was charged by a baker
with having stolen his dog. The defendant said the dog was his
own, and its name was Tippoo. The baker denied this, and said
the dog's name was Jack Scroggins.—llis Lordship called out,
" Tippoo, Tippoo!" but the dog took no notice. " Come here,
Jack Scroggins," said Mr. Holder, and the dog was at his feet in
a moment, amidst the laughter of the crowd.
The Loan MAYOR said there was no doubt that the dog was
" Jack Scroggins," and the name reminded him of the very just
sentence of transportation for life passed upon two brutes in the
human form, for manslaughter. He trusted, that though the bru-
tal love for prize fights was countenanced and sanctioned by brutes
of high rank, the determination of the Judges of the land to sup.
press it would be attended with success.
Mr. Nobler said that the sentence passed upon the fellows al-
luded to had thrown a complete damper upon the spirits of the
gentlemen of the Fancy. He thought that if transportation were
extended to all the blackguard backers of the thieves who filled the
prize ring, society would be greatly benefitted by the permanent
departure of bullies and gamblers, and rascals of the basest kind.
The Loan MAYOR asked the prisoner if he bad any one to speak
to his character?

The prisoner had no one present but his wife, and was remanded.
" Jack Scroggins" and his master went home together.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Ste-It has been stated in the TimEs, as if in answer
to the observations you did me the favour to insert in your inde-
pendent Journal, that the sum of 4100 bad been paid by the Am-
bassador of Don Miguel, as a compensation for the outrageous
t!etention of the Lomeli East Indianian, during her homeward
voyage, by the ships of that petty Tyrant cruising off Ter. I
ceira—but I beg leave to contradict this statement, and t. say,
that no payment whatever has as yet been made to the owner. of
the Lonach. It is true that an agent of the Viscount d'Aseca
offered ASO, but the suns was rejected with the indignation It de-
served, considering that this valuabk ship was retarded more than
eigla days In her voyage by the ships of the puny Despot.

It is however but justice to state, that the Board of Admiralty
zondescended to make inquiries regarding the detention of this
vessel, and showed a laudable indignation at the recital of the
overage; but if Lord Aberdeen was pleased to countenance the
offer of this paltry sum by the agents of his darling Miguel, as an
efficient compensation for the injury inflicted, I can state that it
never will be received as such by the respectable and spirited
owner of this Indiaman, any more than will the nation and com-
mercial Body be contented until public satisfaction be obtained for
the insult and indignity our Flag has thus sustained. The respect
in which the British Flag was till now held, has long been the just
pride of the Ship-Owner, and its due protection and preservaties
is nothing more than the country has a right to expect from its
powerful Navy; and how can commercial men look tamely on,
and see their best interests attacked and outraged, merely to oak
the over-squeamish policy of the Foreign Secretary, who thinks it
would be unbecoming In a great nation to exact her rights in an
authoritative manner from a weak and enfeebled State? This,
however, was not the policy that dictated the Treaty of Cromwell,
which yet forms the basis of all the rights and privileges of British
subjects in Portugal.

A DETERMINED SPORTSMAN.—MT.Wiee, a respect-

Monday evening, about half-past eight o'clock, a
Greenwich stage was driving furiously along the West-
minster-road, the coachman being apparently in a state of
intoxication, when, just as they came in front of Frances-
street, the near hind wheel came in contact with the post,
and the coach was turned completely over. Fortunately
there were no persons inside, and only two on the roof,
who fortunately escaped, the one with a broken arm, and
the other with a violent sprain in the ancle. They were
instantly conveyed to the shop of Mr. Roberts, a surgeon,
residing near the spot, and are likely to do well.
Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, as a man was
attempting to put a garden-pot on some lead at a house
in Poppin's-court, Fleet-street, the rail on which he rested
gave way, and he was precipitated into the court, the
back part of his bead coming in contact with the curb-
stone. He was immediately picked up, with his head in
a dreadful condition, and conveyed to the hospital appa-
rently lifeless.
Yesterday, about six o'clock in the evening, about four
miles from Gravesend, as the Albion steam boat was pro-
ceeding to town with a party on board, for the benefit of
the deaf and blind, a youth who was sitting astride at the
'tern, and cheering the Venus steam boat as she passed,
unfortunately fell into the river. Both steam vessels im- '
mediately stopped and put out their boats ; the lad floated
for some time, but as thieboats approached him he unfor-
tunately sunk to rise no more.
