INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN AND NEAR LONDON, ETC. 



CHRONOLOGY. 



Feb. 22 Sessions ended at the Old Bailey, when 

 25 prisoners received sentence of death, and 7 

 were transported for life, some for shorter periods, 

 and others imprisoned. One of the jurors who 

 expressed incompetence to serve at this session, on 

 account of the penalty of capital punishment, has 

 published a letter, in which he says " he has done 

 no more than a public moral duty, in thus calling 

 the attention of the Legislature to the melancholy 

 subject, and the minds of such philanthropists as 

 the ever to be lamented Sir Samuel Romily." 



Mr. Peel gave notice of bis intention to intro- 

 duce four bills into Parliament to amend the cri- 

 minal laws. 



26. A public meeting was held, at which the 

 Duke of Wellington presided, for the purpose of 

 taking into consideration the means of paying a 

 national tribute to the late Duke of York. Reso- 

 lutions were entered into, and subscriptions re- 

 ceived on the spot for that purpose. 



March 7. Mr. S. Newman having publicly chal- 

 lenged any individual to dispute with h'm on the 

 legitimacy of the Jewish creed, numerous Jews as- 

 sembled in Aldermanbuiy ; and, as Mr. Wolff was 

 proceeding to oppose Mr. Newman, the assembled 

 Israelites refused to hear him, and separated. 



13. The Persian Ambassador and his 'Lady 



visited Windsor Castle, and went over the state 

 apartments, as well as the King's; the improve, 

 ments were pointed out to them, both interior and 

 exterior, the grandeur and magnificence of which 

 were much admired by his Excellency. 



14. The Recorder made a report to the King 

 of the 45 prisoners under sentence of death, when 

 His Majesty was pleased to reprieve 40 of them ; 

 five being ordered for execution on the 20th. 



15. The Chancellor of the Exchequer com- 

 municated to the trustees of the British Mu- 

 seum, that only .12,000 per annum can in future 

 be appropriated to the new buildings, instead of 

 .40,000, the sum given during the last two or 

 three years. 



19. A general meeting of the British Catholics 

 was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, the 

 Duke of Norfolk in the chair, when a variety of 

 resolutions were unanimously carried, expressive 

 of their sense of the late refusal of their claims 

 for emancipation, in the House of Commons. These 

 resolutions forma memorial to the people of Eng- 

 land, in which the Catholics complain that "they 

 are calumniated as a race whose solemn oaths and 

 declarations ought to be disregarded.'' 



20 Four unfortunate individuals only, were ex- 

 ecuted at the Old Bailey one having been re- 

 prieved on account of his previous good character.
