MONDAY. •PRIL 3. ►tYK O'CLOCK.

la consequence of the severe indisposition of the
Jadge. the trials of Messrs. Wooler, Major Cartwright,
FAinvido, /kr. did not commence this morning, which
has occasioned great disappointment not only to the
parties concerned, but to several persons of rank, who
had arrived at this place for the express purpose of at-
tending thesis.
The trials, which have occupied the whole of this Jay
(4rfore 3lr. Clarke, who officiates for the Judge), have
wen totally without any public interest whatever ; all
of a local nature, and felonies. In one of them, two
silversmiths of Birmingham, were tried for robbing
their employers. The day mentioned when the robbery
Ix-carted. was that on which Sir Charles Wolsrley
Tr returned Member of Parliament fur Binning-
hits. riis singular coincidence occasioned consider-
able smiles from the Bench, awl throughout the Court ;
n-ri the name of Sir Charles, and that of his " return"
wore frespien:ly repeated during the trial.
The theatre opens to-morrow evening for a limited
r•tudwr of nights, under the management ol a Mr. %Vet-
o:). with The IFunder ; and by way of an additional
sauce of attraction, the Signior Antonio, the curde
lisle. is also engaged, which the inhabitants are told
prevents hail:price bring taken.
is row positively fixed by the Judge (it is said)
that the trials of M . Vooler, ice. are to com-
mence on Wcdoesslay morning ; and it is singular to
born to the various rumours afloat respecting their dn.
rrion. Mr. Wonder alone, so says the bus, is to speak
tar two days; Major Cartwright for seven hours; Ed-
monds at r.cat !ength ; and the defences of Lewis, &c.
will be equally conspicuous.
Serjeant Vaughan is also prevented from attending
the Conrt on account of severe indisposition. The
HO Sheriff, like the Judge, is laid up with the gout ;
and even some of the brand Jury have got a touch of
this terti'er sqlject.

It was reported that Judge Dallas was sent fur by ex-
prr.., to assist at the numerous trials.

FASTEN MONDAT.

Yesterday, according to ancient custom, the Lord
)11cor ,•1 Irs state coach. accompanied by several of the
Aldermen, Sheria;. &e. in their carriages, preceded by
shont ;NI if t hrist's Ilospital and Briiiewell but*, went
vt [rand prore,:iun from the 3lansion House to Christ
tieroit, error-street. The procession, from the line.
WSs of the .11v, was remarkably striking ; the Iwo City
Marshals in splendid uniforms, on horseback, the Lord
Mayor's t3ittorn in state liveries, two hands of music,
and a nin.tier of stmt-keepers and constables, as usual,

formed the procession.
The conpecation was numerous and highly respect,-
b!e • the Cbarch Service was performed by the Rev. Slr.
Cm:Millet; n P.lllll of Thanksgiving, composed by the
'Rey. A. W.Trollope. I). V.. and set to music by Alr. It.
Glenn, was snug in line style by the children. An ex-
cellent Sermon was preached by the Bishop of Glouces-
ter ; he took his text from the N Epistle of St. Paul to
the Corinthians, chap. viii. and part of the 5111 verse.
:'The pre their own selves tint to the Lord. thew
to as -by the will of God." After the Sermon, an

conut of the state of the different Hospitals was read.
The procession returned in the same order, with the
exception of the boys. Most of the Aldermen were ac-
companied hT their Ladies in full dress. The cumber
of spectators in the streets were considerable. We hare
heard of nu accident. The procession arrived at the
Mansion House about a quarter past four o'clock.
The dinner was of the most sumptuous description,
awl the company who partook of it were uncommonly
samerons, elegant, and respectable. Among others we
aoticed—The Marquis Cornwallis, the Marquis of
{lowly, Lord Cie?, Lord Lonsdsle, the Earl of Beech-
stuck. Lord and /Ay Ennismore, Lord Kenyon, Mr.
Vansittart, Lord Shaftesbury, &e.
Prince Leopo!d and the Duke of Sussex sent apo-
logies.
The dresses of the Ladies were as elegant and tastefol
as the mourning would admit of. That of the Lady
Mayurcss was witch admired.
