SURREY SESSIONS.

These Sessions commenced yesterday. After the
charge was delivered to the Grand Jury, Mr. SUMNIIR
put a question relative to the expenses incurred by the
County in the case of the late charge of murder against
Colder Will and Mary Ayres. No accurate statement
could then be given, but the expenses were considered
to be very estornsous ; altogether little short of 4,0004
Several of the Magistrates spoke against the lavish ex-
endi.ure on that occasion; and it was ultimately resolv-
ed to appoint a Committee to inquire into the subject.

We understand, ou the authority of a Gentleman
very recently arrived from Madras, that the Court of
Directors have articled the Calcuua Pins Regulations
to be extended immediately-to Madras and Bombay,in-
stead of the censorship which now exists at those Presit
dencies. Aa Ordinance, mender to the one which made
so much noise in Bengal. a few years ago, was prepar-
ing_for Registry in the Supreme Court at Madras.

the deceased was taken into the Infirmary a few days
(before, in consequence of an inflammation of the lungs
and inflammatory fever. At first be appeared to be
getting better, but he soon afterwards got worse, and
he breathed his last on Saturday morning. The system
of the deceltsed seemed to be completely broken up.
Every thing had be done for him, but his constitution
was unable to stand the shock. The medicine and

regimen were of no avail.
The nurse of the Compter Infirmary deposed, that
the deceased had been supplied with every thing that
was thought beaeficial. Sire understood that he had
been dreadfully given to liquor, and she believed that
. his system had been totally destroyed by his habits of
drinking. His wife had sat up with him for two nights,.
and attended him in his last moments.
Mr. TespOthelCeeper of the Comptes., stated, that
the deceased was committed to the prison from- the
Manson House for having most cruelly beaten his
wife, whom he had been in the constant habit of treat-
in in the most savage manner. -
Mrs. Newman, the wife of the deceased, a most miser.
able object, bearing about he the strongest symptoms
of barbarous treatment, was then called; She stated
thee her husband and she had been married eleven years,
and be had scarcely ever been sober from the moment
of their union. She verily believed that he had not an
atom of inside. Gin had altogether consumed his lungs,
and it was a miracle that he lived so long. He sup.
potted himself by working 'as a carpenter. Drink had
a most horrible effect upon him. The woment he got
drunk he attacked her witlr any instrument; however
deadly, that lay in his way. She was, therefore, in con-
stant dread of being murdered. S'.e endured many
severe beatings and kickings ; but finding that the gin
was gradually overpowering his . reason, and that her
life was is imminent danger, she found it necessary to
apply to the Lord Mayor, who, upoil heating her com-
abat, seat the deceased to the Convict, upon the
charge of having committed e desperate assault upon
her with a broomstick; She attended him in his last
Moments, although suffering much from the injuries he
bed done bee by Isis barbarous conduct. He never was
what a person mad caR sober.

At the General Annual Meeting of the Master Hat
Manufacturers of Lancashire and the adjoining counties,
held at the White Bear huh Manchester, on Monday
last, it was unanimously resolved, that the prices paid
to the workmen for every description of work connected
with bat-making. shoull continue the same as they
have been for some years past, and that nu abatement
should take place at present.*
Last week a butcher's boy, in the neighbourhood of
Pontefract, took up a gun which his mufti. had left in
the house, and pointing it at his master `s daughter, a
girl about fourteen years of age, said sportingly. that be
would shoot her, at the same time drawing the trigger ;
this dangerous sport he afterwards repeated, the rnt
each time spiking fire against the steel, but without
explosion. Soon afterwards the girl took up the gun.
and levelling it at a sheep which was penned in a corner
of the house, it went off, and shot the animal dead,
when they discovereJ, to their surprise. that the piece
had been charged all the time, and that the girl had
miraculously escaped with her life.

A few nights since, a an of of poachers were heard
shooting on the estate of W. H. WHITZIRAD, Esq. of
Sonthill, Bedfordshire, whose gamekeeper went in pus•
suit of them, with five other assistants; they came n p

keeper; the gun was already pointed at the intended
victim, when, with great presence of mind he knocked
the mosaic aside, and closed on his man ; the alarm
and the attack became general, during which two of
the gang decamped, leaving an equal number on both
sides to decide the conflict. which, after desperate vio.
lent s, ended in the capture of the offenders.
