On Saturday morning an explosion took place in the Victoria Colliery, at Nithshill, be longing to the Messrs. Coat., of Paisley. From 60 to 60 men and boys were down at the time, and it is supposed all tore perished. The gearing of the pit was broken to pieces by the explosion, and lisst in a state of wreck at the bottom, preventing access to the pit. The following particulars arc from the Glasgow Doily Mail: So far as can he weeertaincel, the blast took place between tke hours of four and live o'clock in the morning, and what ha.' nauler“l the catastrophe the more fatal and disastrous is the circumstance that, this happeniier to he pay Satur day, there was a larger number of men than usual down in the pit. At the prieent time it appears there is what is called a night-shift employed, and the accident happened just as the night men were exchanging with the collier; who wen• to lee employed during the day. Reports vary as to the her actually down in the pit. Some say 50, others MI, and others again upwards of 60; hut we Iselieve there can he no doubt that the number ranges from fill to 00 individuals. The place where the blast his evidently been most de -1 gelative u in the direction of what is called the Fret trade l'it, which is about half a mile from the mouth of the Victoria. The Free-trade Pit, we may explain, is used merely as an air-shaft for the Victoria, and from it dense Noluinot of smoke are still it-Wine, having the smell which usually arises from bunting materials. rite report of the explosion was heard at the distance of several miles, and parties in Paisley state the noise resembled that of dip tant thunder. The scene in the vleinity of the pit is most distressing. A large crowd of female relatives of those burned alive in the pit arc crying bitterly, and awaiting with anxious solicitude to learn something of the fate of those who are near and dear to them Amor.g the individual cases of distress is that of a woman who has four sons as well as her husband in the pit. The shock of the blast was felt by the colliers connected with the pits of Mr. Wilson, and they were so much alarmed that they refused to go down to their workings. Nttellll.L, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. To the above there can be very little added of a definite than/tier. The operations at the shaft are still going for ward under the direction of :gr. Nisei, the general mana ger of the works; who, along with Mr. ('outs, one of the proprietor., was on the spot very soon after the lamentable occurrence took place. Access bail not, however, been ob tained to the pit, and till the obstructions are cleared away, of muse there can be little light thrown on the eireum stanee.,as the eont limed escape of choke damp from the Free trader" shaft renders it impossible to make a descent there. The Victoria shaft is about 175 fathoms deep—being one of the deepest pits in Scotland. It has been wrought since 1843. Previously to the free. trader" shaft being sunk, the V ictoria bad both an upeast and downcast vent ; but it is now entirely downcast. 'rhe rope. were blown off the pulleys. One of them has been re-adjusted and put into working order. The cage which was attached to it has been got out after the exertions of several hour,. To all appearance, however, some time w ill elapse err the pit bottom be reached. A few men had been employcsl, during the night, in extra work. Some of them lout come up. and some still remain in the pit. Those who have ase. toted state that all was in fair working or& r when they left. Only the first gang of the day men hail gone down prior to the accident. The others wen• waiting at the shah mouth. The only possibility for the safety of any of those in the pit met, in their baying got round near the upeast shaft, on the other aide of the workings from that on which the explosion has occurred. The Cato.. of this lamentable event can as yet, necessarily, be only matter of conjecture. It is supposed, how ever, that a portion of the roof has fallen in, so as to rause an obstruction in the air passages, and thus produce it. The general ventilation of the pit is remarkably good. We were shown a beautiful model of it. which has been pre pared with the view of obtaining a place in the Great Exhi tion, on which the air courses were well delineated. By them the air from the down cast shalt was carried along the whole face of the present workings in a very complete manner, while by means of trap-doers a portion of it was circulated through the old parts of the pit. The efficacy of the prin ciple is best attested by the fact narrated to us by one of the men, that he had, on Monday last, without difficulty, ten versed the whole workings, in scorch of specimens of alum ore, carrying a naked lamp. In the summer months it was customary to burn a cube for the consumption of the damp, but this has not been done fur some time, not being thought necessary. The area of the workings is about 70 acres. They have been wrought up towards the rise of the scam about 301 sands from the downcast shaft, and a little be yond the ventilating one. The men were, therefore, en gaged on the upper or north side. About 200 men were employed in the pit altogether. Messrs. Wylie and Roger, the procurators fiscal from Paisley, have visited the place, and intimation of the melancholy occurrence has been for warded by the proprietors to the lord advocate. Numbers of relativi.s of the uubortunate men confined in the pit still linger around the shaft-mouth. DEATH IIEsULTING FROM THE BITE OF A MONKEY. —On Saturday an inquest took place at the Grey Mare Inn, Whitworth-road, Rochdale, on the body of a child, the son of Mr. Oaskell, the landlord of the above house. It ape peered that Mr. GaskeU hail purchased a monkey, and, not anticipating any danger, the animal was allowed to remain in the house, until it made a sudden spring, and, alighting on the head of the child, bit it so severely that, notwith standing the utiws.t attention of a meds.eal man, the child iliedinewis..qu,sue. A verdict of" Accidental death" was returned. The monkey has since been killed. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1851.

Waling less in broad and comprehensive theories, and descending into the practical working of a vs- tem which he reprobates, the speaker addreascd him- j self to a host of minor details, which the still increas ing multitude of his Italian hearers palpably relished, but which were, perhaps. less interesting or intelli gible to his numerous British auditors. 'With undi minished powers of illustrative elocution, and un abated energies, he entered into the minute bye-laws lot . an oppressive, onerous, meddling, and frequently immoral, legislation resulting from the irresponsible sway of a priesthood ignorant of the wants, reckless of the rights, and hostile to the feelings, of the laity.

Inglis whilt is referred to in our parliamentary report of Saturday "THE PETITION OP CRAVEN PITEItARDINGE BEREE!..ET "To the Honourable the of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled " Humbly showeth,—That he intermarried with Augusta Talbot, the widow of George Henry Talbot, who was the half-brother to the present Earl of Shrewsbury.

Th d in the month of September last the Paid Earl and Counte:s of Shrewsbury placed the said infant, Augusta Talbot (notwithstanding she is a ward of court as afore said), ut the 6onvent called the ' Lodge,' situate at Taun ton, in the county of Somerset, not as a pupil or visitor, but as a p: stulant, with the avowed object of allowing the said Augusta 'Talbot to take the veil and become a nun.

That on the 6th of June, 1852, the said infant Augusta Talbot will attain her 21,t year, when she will become enti tled to receive the said sum of 80,0001. "That being a nun at that period, the 80,00411. will be— ams, confiscated to the said convent, or to the ieclesiastical revenue, of the church of Rome, or to the endowment, en richment, or maintenance of sonic bishopric or deanery, or other ecoe.M,tical bens lice of the said church of Row ; or the said infant Augusta Talbot will be compelled by some assurance in the law to twister all her right and interest and evil'openition. He traced to the utter extinction of the primitive popular clement in Christian assemblies this disas trous change in the originally sound and beneficent code of the canons. The ambassadors of kings watched the doings of churchmen in general councils , but the people had neither organ nor delegate there. The Pope, by his rotten boroughs of bull-created bishoprics, absorbed the whole representation of Christendom, and the proacedings at Trent were a gigantic sham. The present constitution of eccle siastical boards at Rome, presuming to regulate the spiritual concerns of mankind, was absolutely revolt ing. The red-tapiats of a blind and unteachable native court were reinforced by the dregs of Don Miguel from Portugal, of Ferdinand the Embroiderer from Spain, of the old Sardinian Camarillo, aided by Neapolitan ignorance, the strings of the whole puppet-show being pulled by an Austrian or Russian ambassador in the name a the Holy Ghost. Such was the actual mechanism of cathoheity--such the eccumenical character of its legislation. Marriage was an essential ingredient of civil so-1 clay ; to monopolise its arrangements and to usurp its airection was a crying abuse on the part of the priesthood. At this moment Piedmont is engaged in a death struggle with Rome for the riddance of its iutermeddling with conjugal contracts. and the 11U11160 MOll4llol' Boverio at Berne is seeking to in validate mixed marriages in Switzerland. England's turn is appniaching. The pretence fur lids:einem*, in wedded life, which in apostolic times never entered the scheme of gospel morality, even pagan alliances I being undisturbed by Paul, arose from sheer wan tonness of ecclesiastical tyranny or the more inglo rious greed of gain. The; speaker traced the rise of truffle in dispensations, and showed what a power ful instrument of annoyance to kings, what a for midable weapon in the hands of the papacy, was the assumption of a control over wedlock and the claim to Mess or ban the nuptial bed from the days of Robert of France down to the Reformation, when the fatal engine recoiled on the pontifical engineer. Capricious figments of spiritual or const rue t ive affinity had been superadded to the Hebrew catalogue of im pediments, and their removal made a branch of fiscal emulument. European maternity and the suckling of legitimate offspring were regulated by the she-wolf of Rome, and became the prerogative of that la's/ear. The hardships and immoral results of this traffic in its bearing on the poorer classes, and its attendant scandals in the higher ranks of society, were ably in -1 dicoted, and the unimialy of the sacramental character overriding and overthrowing the intrinsically social and domestic nature of the contract learnedly de veloped. The precept of fists and distinctions of food was next anatomised, and its oppressive and unequal pies-are on the various nations, climate's, and indi vidual abstuiners shrewdly illustrated. The absurdity of enforcing fish diet on districts utterly unpiscuterial, or a vegetarian regime on mountaineers whose only resource was the goat in their unlananical ridges, the undignified decrees on "dripping," and the pue rility of pastorals about eggs, only equalled by the anti climax of "in the name of the prophet, figs!" the ludicrous result of orthodox Italy and Spain being made to promote the herring fisheries of the heretic 1 hitch, and work the cod-banks of northern pro testantism,through their fictitiously-created necessity for Isierstlit, were topics which lust nothing in the treatment of the orator whose versatility of style equals his vehemence. The famous bull of the erecada in the Spanish peninsula, bearing un the operation of the precept, next Wheeled abundant materials for alternate scorn and critical scrutiny. Issued in the first instance as a stimulant to the war of expulsion against the Saracens ("who were a sort of medieval Austrians, fortify' intruders iu Spain, but less brutal than Italy's modern Moors, far more refined and not half so objectionable as our Croats"), the scheme of compounding in hard cash for sterile and unproductive abstinence was found, when the crusade was over, too profitable a speculation fur abandonment. Tickets of exemption were accord ingly, and are still, sold at lottery-offices in the pub lic streets, and the management of this monstrous im posture presents in Spain a regular organisation. The head contractor with the court of Rome for this gastronomic mining privilege—this California of credulity—was, not long ago, the Jew Emanuele, to whose thence-gathered wealth we owe the " Stabat Mater" of Rossini, composed and paid for by his order out of the proceeds of humbug. In point of fact, the sale of these core-.ado tickets is carried on after a fashion of pious quackery, by sound of trum pet, and with boast of their efficacy, such as Dellahirkame ra alone exhibits on the stage; and though the commerce of indulgences was rudely checked longer in northern Europe, brisk transactions still continue in the same commodity southwards. Gre gory XIII. ' to quicken the demand, issued a brief, extending the convertibility of this currency, and establishing its acknowledgment by the exchequer of purgatory. The financial details in connexion with this latter establishment the speaker dwelt on at some length, evidently to the bewilderment of the British portion of his auditory. Saints festivals and the host of obligatory holidays, in their consequences on industry and wages, gave full scope to the denunciation of the father, whose pro tests in favour of the poor man's share in the benefits of the repel were delivered with fearful energy, and the claim of churchmen to curtail his already strait ened circumetances by the enforcement of compulsory idleness, for the mere purpose of clerical glorification, scouted as intolerable. As to the manufacture of saints by the exclusive machinery of a Roman board, not, as of old, by the spontaneous acclamation of the people, he delivered his opinion with full argu mentative freedom, and, adverting to the unlimited expenditure which the modern process of canonisa tion entails. and the grasping demon& of corrupt officials in the chancery of Rome, he recorded the remark of Count Borromco, when his great-uncle, the Cardinal of Milan, was finally lodged in the Empvreum by a papal decree, that another saint in the family would be absolute ruin and downright bankruptcy. The penal injunction by which the Fourth Council of Lateran sought to resider auricular confession ob ligatory at Easter, under menace of excommunication and loss of Christian burial, was an enactment only productive of hypocrisy and fraud. Billets tie e.afil siws were the most preposterous of all certificates; a hideous object of transfer on the part of degraded beings in Rome, where the sacraments of Christ were made instruments of police, and the confes sional, like the ear of Dionysius, became a recep tacle through which tyranny gained treacherous cognisance of secrets not its own. He would reserve hit views on the origin and gra dual extension of this auricular system for fuller development on another occasion : its foul agency was not confined to the betrayal of patriot honour, but was equally disastrous to maiden inno cence and conjugal purity. Finally, the canons of ecclesiastical law on the subject of money loans and usury were canvassed, and their self-contradictory character demonstrated : whereupon the speaker took occasion to discuss the circumstances wider which the present priestly ruler of Rome nego tiated his late loan with the house of Rothschild, which gave him an opening for a vigorous onslaught on the papal restoration. its wents, and abettors, the old abuses which had followed in its train, the horri ble oppression under which the territory groaned, and the ever accumulating mass of hatred and exe cration whichil must inevitably overwhelm the wretched papal court on the withdrawal of its Galli can j?niseePries. Thu portion of his address was of course not less --- said in the r an of tio,oool. That it is une of the doctrines of the church of Rome that no member of the said church shall be is rmitted to exercise • his or her private judgment in religious matters ; but that in all such religious natters lie or she is bound to submit to the authority of the said Runtish church, and to the direction of the priesthood thereof.

"That in the said work, under the head of Lecture 111.,' page 76, the following passage occurs :—' For, the momeut any catholic doubts not alone the principle of his faith, but any of those doctrines which are thereon bused— the moment he allows himself to call in question any of the dogma* which the cathodic church teaehcs us having been handeddown within her—that moment the church conceives him to lave virtually abandoned all connexion with her ; fur she exacts such implicit obedience that if any memlier, however valuable, however be may have devoted his early talents to the illustration of her doctrines, fall away from his belief in any one point, he is cut oil without reserve, and we have in our own times seta striking and awful in stances of this fact.' • "That the above opinions and declarations of the said Nicholas Wiseman are the true doctrines of the Kaman ' catholic church, out that the said infant Augusta Talbot has had them instilled into her mind to the exclusion of all • other principles, and that the said infant Augusta Talbot • is bound to submit to the will and dictation of the superior . of the said convent and to the priesthood of the church of Rome. . . .

EXTENSIVE WOOLLEN CLOTH 'HOBBERIE.S AT LEEns.—On Saturday last the Leeds magistrates brought to a close several lengthened examinations arising out of a charge of felony brought against Mr. George Oddy, a woollen cloth manufacturer and dealer, residing at Wortley Moor Side, near Leeds. The prisoner, in addition to manu facturing cloth on his own account, has bartered a good deal for other goods, and carried on a rather extensive business, and, so far as we know, in a creditable manner. Recently several robberies have taken lilac,: at Puils4 and the neighbourhood, but until this week nothing has tran spired to lead to the detection of the thieves or the recovery of the stolen property. During Sunday night week Allan Brig Mill, which belongs to a company of proprietors, was broken into, and three ends of cloth in an unfinished state, belonging to Mr. Isaac Hancock, stolen therefrom. About the lith of December last Swinuow Mill, near Pudrey, was broken into, and two ends of blue and two ends of black cloth were stolen, the two former belonging to ! Messrs. Jos. Walker and Son, and the latter to Mr. llireplcton. Last Saturday or Sunday information was obtained which gave the parties belonging to the stolen property reason to believe that the cloth was in Oddy's house, and the constables of Puilsey and the head pollee were at once communicated with. Oa Monday Inspector Child obtained from tho Leeds justices a warrant authorising him to search the house of Mr. Oddy. In the meantime his house was watched by the constables of Pudsey (Messrs. John Pearnley and James Halliday), in order to prevent anything being conveyed away; and after watching at the New Inn, kept by Mr. Pickli a, which is near Oddy's house, from Sunday . to Mon day afternoon, Oddy was seen to leave his premises with two ends of blue cloth upon his back, he being followed by his wife, carrying another end. The cloth was seised, and Oddy taken into custody. Inspector Child and Police officer Kell arrived soon after this, armed with a search warrant, and on searching the house found two ends of blue cloth in a finished state, some remnants of cloth, and , other articles detailed in the evidence. Two ends of black cloth, belonging to Mr. Threpleton, were found at the warehouse of Mr. Lambert, cloth merchant, of Cook . ridge-street, Leeds, who had bought them of a com mission agent named Jackson. The three ends of 7 blue cloth which the prisoner and his wife were conveying away, have been identified as the property of Mr. Boocoek. The two ends found in the prisoner s house belong to Messrs. Joseph Walker and Son; and the two ' ends of black cloth, found in Mr. Lambert's warehouse, are • also identified as the property of Mr. Threpleton. Mr. Jackson, a commission agent, proved having sold the latter to Mr. Lambert on account of the prisoner. In de ' fence the prisoner said he had received the cloth of a woman named Huggen, who resides near him, but this was denied by her, and after a long examination the prisoner was corn . witted for trial. THE THIEVES' KITCHEN IN GRAY'S-INN-LANE.— This establishment, which has long boasted a high reputa tion as a normal school of thi:ving, and a depot for the re ception of stolen property, is broken up. By the vigilance of two or three detectives of the division, the greater number of the thief-traiaers have 64:131 convicted and tram ported. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST AN UNDER OBADCTE AT CAMBRIDGE. On Saturday last the borough bench of magistrates at Cambridge were engaged for Nome hours in investigating a charge of assault, with Intent, &c., brought against Henry Wiuterhingham, an undergraduate of Corpus Chriati Col lege. The prosecutrix is Elizabeth Mary l'arr, the child of tradespeople who have long held a respectable station in society. The pro,:eutrix said: lam between 15 and 16, and live with my falur-in-law, Mr. Miller, paiuter and gla zier, of St. Andrew's-street. I saw the prisoner in the ertning of Thursoay, the 13th of March. I had never seta him before to my kw owkalge. Ile bad a silk waistcoat ou, on that occasion, and a white shirt wi.:l lavender flowers. lie had his gown on. I was doing up the shutiers of the room of Mr. Headley, who 10,11,1 with my father-in-law. I was in .he sus et for that purpose. It was about half-past 9, or a little before 10. I had no bonnet on. The deLudant chile up to me and said something about going out, which I did not perfectly understand. lie did nut touch roc at that time. I did not say anything to hint in answer, and went in directly. I went into Mr. Headley's room to fasten the shutters inside, and he followed me in. lie was there before I had fasteued the first bolt of the shutters. I thought he had come to see Mr. Ileadley, and I said that that gentleman would be in in a few minutes. lie immediately caught hold of taw and kiss2d me, and threw me on the sofa 1 called out, and he SAW, " You little devil, you." (The wi,ness then proceeded to detail the conduct of the defendant.) The door bell rang liolently while the assault was taking place, and the def.ndant got up. My mother entered the room and defendant robed into the street. My mother went out after him. I felt so faint I could not tell my mother what had happened imm diately. lie ran out just as my mother Came against the door. I told my mother what had occurred immediately she came bock from pursuit of the prisoner, which was in about two minutes. My father furdaw was with my mother when She came up, and he to ran after the prisoner. I culled out as loud as I could wMu 1 was on the sofa, and he stopped my breath with his head upon my chest. The rojsoner fastened the door of Mr. Het:alley'. room when he came in by bolting it. 1 unbolted it to run out. I ran out first, and the prisoner then escaped by the street-door. I will positively swear the pp ironer IS the man. I have share been attended by Mr. Lestourgton, the surgeon, anal am still under his earre. Further evidence was called in corroboration; and the surgeon deposed that great riolerwe had been committed. For the defence it was contended that the identity of the prisoner had not la en proved, hut that, if he were protect to be the party, there had lien no I iolence. The magis trates retired for about live minutes, and on their return the prisoner, after the usual caution, was asked what he had to ray. He replied that he should reserve his &- Ware, and was then fully ecananit;“l for trial at the 3. 1 . 4, ; but was admitted to hail, himself - iu 2:10/., and two sureties of 1.00/. each, which ;laving been found he was liberated, and left Caruhridge the same evening. The assizes com mence on Wednesday next. CHARGE OF FRAU I ) AGAINST A GENTLE- MAN At the Brighton bench of magistrates, on Monday, Mr. Edward Wemyss, a young man of distinguished appear ante, and who, it afterwards appearid, is a can of General ii Wemyss, was placed in the duck, charged with obtaining ; money under false pretences. The charge wit. preferred by Mr. King, butcher, of the Western-road, from whose statement it appeared that on Tuesday, the 4th of March, the defendant came into his ' shop and said, " Will you oblige me with change for this cheque" (or " order, " witness did not recollect which). giving him a paper which, he saw, was an order fur 41. lwg pardon," Raul Mr. Khce, Ido not know you ;" and de fendant then reminded him that he had once given him change before. Mr. King then recollected that he had, a short time before, given defendant change for a cheque drawn by Mr. Bowles, a gentleman residing at 2, Oriental terrace, out who had been a custunier of his, unit which cheque had been honoured. Ile accordingly directed his clerk to give defendant :it. which was dune, and wafts, kept the document prodinvil. it was to this c hfeet " Gentlemen, please to pay the bearer fib., and place the •une to my account. To Messrs. llamburgh and Rogers, 30, Kiug-street, Covent-gurden. (Signed) Edward Weruyisi, late Lieutenant of the ifith Regiment." Mr. King was ignorant of Mr. Wemyss's name till he saw it on the cheque; and about tour or live hour, after he had r e e, iced bearing something which mistd his suspicion, he went to the railway station, and gave the cheque to a guard named John Brown fur the purpose of ha. ins it present... 4 at Messrs. llamburgh and Rogers's for payment. Ho re ceivt.ll the some day an answer by the electric telegraph, acquainting hint that the cheque was refused. On the lid lowing Friday defendant iciain culled, and asked Mr. King if he had got the other cheque, or oral, r, by hint. Mr. King wild he had; and defendant then wished him to oblige hint with change for another cheque, or order, of Mt Mr. King told hint he bad not sufficient change, but, if be would call again, he would do it by and live. De- Ifembint culled three or four timia afterward. and witne.s r got a warrant, and, on his coining on the Saturday, gave hint into custody. . The handwriting of defendant was proved liv Mr. J. Ellis, of the Bedford Mitch at whose house defeMlaut had been staying. Upon this evidence Mr. Housman, for Mr. King, asked for a remand on a atm. of fraud, and the defendant was bound over, himself iu 2do/., and two sureties in 1001. each, fur his appearance on Thur.:l4, on which day he aesin appeared in court, aecompausied by his legal adviser, Mr. Clarke. Mr. Chase, chief officer of police, stated that d , fondant was given into his charge by Mr. King, ou Saturday. lie VMS brought to the hall and searched. 'the only document found on him was an order on Messrs. Hamburg!' and Rogers for N. (worded in a similar MUIIIII.I to that for 51. changed by Mr. King). Mr. Ellis, of the &allied blot], was sworn, and stated • that defendant had stayed at his house six or seven wes.ks. Had always known him as Mr. Edward Wimps, and from his (defendant's) statements, thought he had been in the 46th Regiment. There was scarcely any gentlenuin in the coffee-tuna with whom defendant did nut seem to be ac quainted, and everybody stained to know him. John Brown, guard ou the London mid Brighton Railway, was requested by Mr. King to take the document produced (thy order for 5/.) to London, and pr -ant it for payment at Messrs. Hamhurgh and Rogers's. lie did so, and the answer was "No etteete." Ile communicated the result by electric telegraph. Robert lingers, a partner in the firm of Ilamburgh and Rogers, gold lace-workers and anny-clothiers, Muted that he had known Mr. Edward Wemyss, and also his hither, General Wimps, many years). When he first joand the army he made his outfit by order of his father, who paid for it. Thatwas between li or 10 years ago. After that Mr. Wemyss became aide-de-camp to his father in Ireland, and required a different set of things,whielt witnessed furnished to hint; and these hail not yet been paid for Witness recol lected the order for 51. being presented for payment at his .„., . . . house; ...—__ hc gave it back immediately stating ibint there were no effects. Ile hail no mcney or effects of defendant's in his hands, and never had had, and never gave him any authority at any time to draw upon him. A short time ago he ac commodated him with a loan of 101., which had not yet been paid. This was on the 4th of January last ; and on the 28th of January he advanced him another of 101. But these loans were made to defendant in person. Mr. Wemyss had placed his "kit" in witness's hands, and hu (witness) dared say thought it would realise these sums ; but it only brought in 141., and witness let him hare 221. in the first place and 101. in the second. Thu total balance against him was 761.115. Mr. Housman—Did he know the state of his accounts ? Witness—Young officers of the army seldom do—(laugh ter)—particularly as 1 never tuilered him one. Mr. Clarke having addressed the magistrates on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Carpenter, in delivering their opinion, said they were very glad is find that consistently with their duty they could come to the opinion that the charge which had been made against the defendant of obtaining gnash under false pretences fell to the ground. The evidence of Mr. Rogers showed them that there was a great chance in his mind that any debts contracted by the son would be paid by the father. There was also the circumstance that he had before granted him a loan twice, and Mr. Wemyss might naturally have come to the opinion that when a cheque drawn by him was tendered to Mr. Rogers, Mr. ltugers would have paid it, if presented in the ordinary term. Ile hops.-d this would be a lessen to Mr. Wemyss, fur if he had written to Mr. Rogers beforehand he would not have been subjected to this unpleasant pruceeding. Mr. llousinan.—l beg to state that Mr. King is out of pocket M. Mr. Clarke.—l beg to tender it now. The money was banded over, and the parties left the court.

TUE YEOMANRY CAVALItY.—The Lords Lieutenant of Counties have lately rec,ised a circular letter from the Secretary of the Home Department, to the effect that the differeut corps of Yeomanry will not this year be required to attend on permanent duty. Sir George Grey, however, states that if any corps of three troops or upwards choose to assemble fur a period not exceeding five days, they will be allowed ss. a day fur of and men; or if a corps of less than three troops or more are desirous of turning out iat ntent& for a period not exceeding eight days in the whole, they will be allowed three shillings and fourpeace a day. With reference to this subject it will be seen, in page 80 of the Army Estimates, that the sum which will be re quired for exercise will be about 19,19 W., whereas for 18.50 the suns estimated as for exercise and permanent duty was 35,7491., showing a decrease under this service of about 16,0001. in 18.51 as compared with last year.

A reaponsiva allegation had been given iu oar behalf of the promoter of the suit. De. Phillimore, on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Madan, coa t aided the evidence was perfeet in the rate ; that the proof of Mru. Gaisford being in All Souls' church on the occa sion in question, her conversations with, and visits upon, Mr. Karr at his hotel, awl her going with him in a cab, COlielllfire. Ile maiutainual the alibi act up by Mr. Karr was emiuently utuatecceafal, un- there was quite sufficient time unaceounted for to have enabled the militias to commit the adultery pleaded in the aelescution. The evil once as to the assignation and eultsequent Mel ling would hare justitiett the court, in a common diteree cane, in pronouncing ast ntence. It was indisputable that Mr. Gaisford remonstrated with Mr. Karr about the alts Wiens paid his wite, anti although, a hen the transaction WU , in v. stigated prior to the present preceedinp, Mr. Karr denied peeing Mrs. (=aileron' in London, yet he had ad mitted to a witness in the rause having Well her Our a few minutes. That part of the case which referred to Mr. Karr's improper familiarities with Sarah Hamm- was fully aulsstantiated by the evidence of several witnesses, servants in the house at the time, alio depteued to teasing the parties intoxicated, and to their quarrelling and swearing at one unather. Other servant. had certainly deposal that they never knew of such occurrences, but such testimony could not set aside the positise eeitlenee on the subject. 'Cho evidence of the housekeeper, Sarah Darmw, who haul been examined by Mr. herr, and who was u very fere-ant wit nese, was contradicted by almost every other witness, and WU, even at variance witlt her own deposition. rib, denied the truth of all the charges in which she wit. , invoke ii. She ulated that Mr. Karr, on the AeVa•iUll of her gUvitig birth to a child wane years bark, while in hie scr,tee, knew nothing of her being roe, ;ate, and that she left his house, and was comitted at au inn. It uppeareal, however, while residing then , she was visited clan destinely by a person whumt she repriatinted to bo her uncle, hut afterwards n-luctantly admitted to bo Mr. Karr. This fact trust sufficient to it. stray her teed motiy. It win also a key to the quarrels letwuen the parties which subsequently took place. The It:treed :id vocate contended the critic-we tea to the general character which had been pi educed by Mr. Karr would Ise insufficient to resist the positive testimony in eontrtulietion, and re ferred to the case of Kitam against letftw," where the evidence as to general character was unavailing. In answer to a question from the court, the learned advocate said ho meant to contend that all the charges made against Mr. Karr were preyed. Dr. It. latillimore appeared on the RUM side. Dr. Harding, with whom was Dr. Butyford, appeared for the Iles , . J. C. Karr, and contended it was a CAW., of credibility of witnesses ; that the omit rested entirely on the promoter of the suit, who had failed in his prof, and that the evidence was entirely against the proltabilities of the case. lucre was a clergyman keeping up the fairest reputation generally, and yet he was to seduce the wife of one of hie principal parishioners by carrying on an inter course with her in a large country village--clueedng for the fatal assignation about the most public plan: in the whole village—he was afterwards to meet her en Landsat i.e full new of a wedding party ; allow her to call at his hotel, where he was to make nu preparation to receive her, and was to have connexion with the party in a sitting room, occupied by himself and his aunt who hap pened to be accidently absent at the time, and about ten minutes afterwards WWI to go with Mrs. liaishiril to a house of ill fame, the keeper of which house and her ger vent both denieti ever having seen him. There was every circumetance of suspicion connected with the way in which the care had been brought forward and conducted. There was the sworn teatimony of two Is-amasses that Mr. Karr posers:wet the general esteem and regard of his parialtioncis still, who would be happy to use him back ; awl even Mr. Gaisford, who surely would out leave any stone unturned, did not dare to hint at Mr. Karr's drinking in the til lage or swearing at his wavauta. It was impos sible to trust one atom of the evidence given in suplaurt of the charge of familiarity with Sarah Barrow, while no just or proper exception could be taken to the evidence in favour of Mr. Kure.' character. It had been put that Mr. Karr had not produced witnesses he might have pollute-id, but he (the learned advocate) contended the onus lay en tirely on the promoter, and therefore he objected to remark, of the kind being made again,t the Luse Mr. Karr had been advised to set ttp. lie had, however, produced hustuof witnesses of the highest character, who spoke to matters which WCult to the root of the case; had even gone further and taken up the very witnesses it was incumbent on the promoter to have produced. It was impossible for 'any party charged with offences of the kind alleged in this 'unit to discharge that which he owed to hituself and to meet the general accusation in a more aatislactory manner than Mr. Karr bud done. With regard to tho costs, it was impossible not to see they would be very exten sive indeed. 'I here were no lots than three differeut attor nice concerned in the matter ; there had beieu expeditions to Bath, to Boulogne, and to Berkeley; nub-agents had been employed, and other parties retained, all claiming a variety of different sums of money.
