For several days afterwards she ivraplained to come young girls of her acquaintance of the way she had been treated, and said she would do something which would keep her in the hospital for two or three weeks, but no serious attention was paid to what she said. On Thursday last, without the least attempt at concealment, she drank a quantity of outdid acid, and im mediately fell insensible, She was taken to Guy's Hospital, where eke died neat day.

IRELAND. Dustix, Arm 3. The rumour of disaffection among the military 111 the south, started by the Limerick and Clare Exam iner I, of Friday, is authoritatively contradicted by the , Limerick Chronicle of yesterday. "We feel confi- dent," says that semi-military organ, " that the public will participate in the pleasure we feel in stating that there is no foundation whatever fur this mischievous 1 , announcement" The Limerick Rifle Club is in a state of organist tion. The number of original sharpshooters is 100. The club is open to all citizens. In the spirit of true ternity, the Sarsfield Club has given the use of "one of its committee rooms for the use of this body , of Irishmen." The very miserable union of Dingle, with half its area depopulated, and the remainder crowded with the most miserable destitution, has received a season able relief in the advance of 1.0001. by the British Asiation, and food to the same amount presented by S soc ir R. Routh, which had been sent him from America. The ex-professor of Columba College, in conjunc e - tion with the confede r ates, has been planning th formation of a Polytechnic Institute to teach " the young idea how to shoot." In pursuance of this lau dable olfect several preliminary meetings have been held in the confederation rooms, D'Olier-street, and the points of deliberation appear in the annexed pro gramme. The institute is to consist of members of the several professions, and etudents in all the sciences, with branches in the several cities a nd towns of Ireland. The general body is to be distributed into sections, which will furnish reports and essays on subjects connected with their special sciences, on social development, enlightened views on government, natura l law, political economy, and, though last not least, the study of theoretical military science. The treasurer of the institute is Dr. Antisell, an intelligent chemist, who wrote a useful treatise en the drainage and ventilation of our city. The institute is to be altogether unconnected with any existing political body, a profession rather difficult to reconcile with the place of assemblage and the originators of the society. It is just, however, to state, that several of the chief movers in the poly technic novelty, displeased w;th the too pacific cha racter of the institute, have hived off, and formed a small confederation of their own. They contemplate something more direct and strong than the " social sciences" and enlightened theories of government — in Let, a general organisation of the people on a military model. At the head of this scheme are a number of medical students. FEUD AND MURDER.—The following is an extract from a letter dated Tinahely, county of Wicklow. March 23: " We are in a great way endeavouring to bunt up seven persons connected in a most atrocious murder near Augh rim, u Rattidruca, last week, and succeeded last evening in cap turing two of the party near Ble•sington. A quarrel arcse between two families, whose farm-yards were only separated by a wall—each family respectable and perfectly independent —having a splendid stock of every sort, and hundreds of pounds each in bank. A slight skirmish took place in the morning between one son of each party, respecting the poundage of sheep. One party sent in the course ot the day and collected some relatives, and while the others were at dinner came to the door demanding satisfaction, and using such language as was beet calculated to rouse the Irish blood of their hitherto happy and pesceable neighbours. The old man got up from his dinner, and shut the d.,or after him, keeping in his three or four sons, fine athletic young men, and remained at the door cryi n g shame to those outside, and threatening own party it they dared to disobey his orders by coming Com their own house. At length his eons iiroko out one b one, and as they made their appearance were cut down with racks, shovels, &c. Having in a few minutes left them all lying prostrate in their own blood, they attacked the poor unoffending ol d man, without even • hat to cover his poor head, stript twenty years ago of i's natural Hovering from old age. His skull they broke in one hundred pieces at once, and left him stretched beside a wall weltering in his blood. A sister of the victorious Party, wishing to become notorious in the affray, got on a wall, reined an immense atone therefrom, and, with all her might, sunk it down into the old men's chest and heart. His old wife, long after, hobbled oat to see what was done; they saw her, and came at her with • spade. She raised up one arm, which they slit from the wrist to the elbow. She then raised the other to defend her poor head. This they broke to pieces, and then gave her two dangerous cuts in the head. The old man, I need not say, is dead. One son's skull is broken; little or no hopes of his recovery, being quite delirious. The others, all mangled, such as Woken arm-, lips cut off, and teeth knock ed out with lacks. Two of the murderers were arrested feat evening. „ Miami° 07 TRADES TUN IE/ex.—There was a meeting of the trades to-day to reply to the fraterni,ing address from Manchester, passed there at the meeting of the Irish en the 17th Marsh. The terms of the address were very ordinary, and the only sentiment worth special record was a promise that if there was any attempt to put down the chartists in their projected agitation by force the trades and people here would support them by an insurrection. The principal speaker on the war side was Mr. Darcy Magee, who said that he came to the meeting after attending a solemn ceremony, and with an intent as solemn, he declared he telt it his duty to die before th nothing pro vocative, however . They failed in ' 9B becaus e the y per mitted t hemselves to be hurried prematurely into insurrec tion. Be believed in his soul government was anxious for an immediate oatbreak, because they would then hope to crush it. But they must he prudent, and bide their time. They must be fully prepared, for they must nut fail this time. (Immense applause.) Mr. Magee made au appeal to the protestants " not to join the detectives against their countrymen," and undertook to swore England that should one Irish life be lot in this struggle, repeal would become as unpopular as federalism was now, and nothing would satisfy Ireland but an Irish republic. (Tremendous cheering.) For his port an Irish parliament, an Irish army and navy, would content him for the present. ( Lau g hter.) —A trad esman, whose name I could not hear, addressed the 1 meetieg, and called upon them to oraenise labour, otherwise 1 repeal would bring them ( the teed, -) no good, for their own countrymen would alter rel earl oppress leleiur as mui It as the stranger did now.—The meeting sat until of or plat hour Ssicio.—The nomination for this borough will take place on Wednesday, and, though most decided measures have been taken by government, it is feared there will be difficulty in preserving order during the election. At no previous period has so much excitemmt existed ; the mob are in favour of the late member, by whom they are daily harangued in most inflammatory terms; they are supplied with drink, and parade the town at all hours, in the most tumultuous man ner. Mr. Townley'a friends are sanguine ; his principles are most liberal, and his measures have been so well taken, that, if the electors are not intimidated, he will in all probability be successful. lie is a genii. man of large property, and formerly represented Lancashire ; he is i.ro ther. to tae member for Beverley. The frieuds nf Mr. Ou-el.'y Higgins and of Mr. Ball are also active; the Roma* catholic clergy are divided between these two gentlemen. It is now supposed that Mr. Ouseley Higgins will not per severe, but that ho will retire in favour of the late member. Mr. Higgins would be by far the most likely to unite the repeal party; but, as the late member is determined on going to the poll, it is thought that Mr. Higgins will retire, so as not to hazard the loss of a seat to the party he supports. Mr. Walker completed his canvass yesterday, but it was so un suoceseful that he immediately after announced his intention of withdrawing from the contest.—Messrs.

SPECIAL CONSTABLES IN MANCIUMTIIIt. — A esteni- 1 'pendent says. " The anxiety of the magistrates for the tranq uillity of this city and its suburbs is not yet allayed. The agitators of the working classes are more and more industriously engaged in getting up m.ctings, and the pre sent week bids fair to try the disposition of the people to encourage these attempts. Lost night there was to be • great open-air meeting in Stevenson-square ; this, Tuesday evening, there is to be • p ublic meetin g of operatives and and c hartists to petition for the pa rdon of 1. rat, Williams, Jones; and to-morrow, IYednesday evening, is met aside for • meeting to propose the " organisation of labour " (by trades unions); to limit the hours of labour, to promote sanitary reform, the abolition of middlemen, the establish ment of a paramount industrial board of trade, with local beards in all cities, towns, end Isoroughs, to promote an ex tension of the suffrage, and other object'. The number of special constables sworn in up to last evening from the ranks of the ehopacepers, and warehousemen and clerks, was nearly 4,000; those sworn in in the mills, out of a total of 44,000 people, yming and old, do not exceed 1,500. Our correspondent was in the Town-hall a short time only beore ou exress left, and the officials had then present about one r hun p dred young men, all well dressed and of re spectable appearance, evidencing them to be chi , fly of the class of clerk' and Ulesmen, whose silaries robably. nistrange from 1001. or 1501. to 5001., to whom they w ere admier ing the oath as special constables." HAMPSIHRE. THE FATAL AFFRAY AT CADLANDS.-00 Thursday Alex. Cavell gnu C. Breather, two of the men against whom a verdict of wilful murder was returned at the in quest upon C. Payne, assistant gamekeeper to Mr. A. R. Drummond, of Cadlands, gave themselves up to the police. Knapp, the ..then man, is still at large. Upon the prisoners being taken into custody they gave as a reason for surren dering, that they had been nearly starved, and stated that they had not been sworn to ; but Knapp, who had been sworn to, would not surrender, but was determined to beep out of the way for the present, and they would, therefore, say nothing as to his whereabouts. They were lodged in Winchester gaol the same day. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. THE ABUSES IN THE CHELTENHAM GRAMMAR SegooL are thus spoken of by a correspondent of the Chel tenham, Examiner :--" Oar Grammar School has for a great number of years past been by no means tbe benefit to the town that was intended by the noble donor, whose will ought to be carried out to the full extent ; but the funds have been, I am afraid, terribly perverted to other purposes far different to that originally intended. It is called • free school, but I cann find out in what way it deiserves that name. Loak ot , for instince, to the seat" in the parish church which belong to the school, and to the school alone. What have become of them ? They were originally intended fur the scholars; but to my certain knowledge not one has eat in them for the last eight or ten years, and yet without any sense of shame on the part of the managers ; but, no doubt very profitably to th , in, these seats have been occupied by other individuals. Your correspondents have h.thrr to hint e d that violent measures should be taken to •to t! • pew er from out of the howls of these trustees ; but that plan 1 by no means approve ot, well knowing that they have the power, and that they will not give it up, and in short nothing less than an act of parliament concern ing all grammar schools throughout England could compel them. Look to the Bristol Grammar School; now, after years of uselessness and mismanagement, it has been re vived, and is at present equal to any in the kingdom. Does not that set an example to Cheltenham, what can be ,effected by perseverance ?—and mark me, if every one were to unite hand to hand in the good cause, we should soon see our own school flourishing, an honour to the town, and a source of benefit to ourselves and children."—Another writer, in reference to the same institution rays (in the Cheltenham Journal); —"The Cheltenham and Oxford Rail way Coral:may, in making their line , will re q uire the school house, in High.street, and have agreed to purchase the same, so that the present is a most favourable opportu nity for 'Vending the benefits of the school, not only in the system of education but also by the erection of a suitable building or school-house." AVHHOL STRAND TREATRE.--We were induced to visit this theatre last evening by the announcement of Auher's new opera "Haydee," which was produced some three months ago at the Opera Comique, and is about to be brought out at our Royal Italian Opera. Such an attempt to forestall a per formance at another theatre is of very questionable pro priety, though not without example. We remember, after the production of Meyerheer's " Robert le Diable" in Paris, , both the great London theatres brought out English versions of it, not only without the composer's sanction, but in such manner as was most injurious to his music ; for, not being a able to obtain the genuine score, they go t certain musical workmen to vamp up the orchestral parts from the publi‘hed pianoforte edition of the op. ra. Both the spurious versions, however, had a considerable run, and contributed to hurt the success of the genuine opera when it was produced at the Italian Opera-house by Mr. Monck Mason. We cannot suppose that M. Auber, who, we be lieve, is at present employed in preparing " Haydie " (or performance at our Covent garden Opera in an Italian dress, would communicate his score, in the meantime, to any other London theatre ; and we must conclude, therefore, that the Strand theatre has got up this opera in the same way as Drury-lane and Covent-garden got up " Robert le Diable." Being unacquainted with the music, we could not ascertain how far the original score agreed with or differed from what we heard last night. The instrumentation was evidently very lame and imperfect ; but this would have been the case even had the author's own p irts been used, the orchestra being utterly incompetent to execute them. We shall make no remarks on an opera got up in this manner, but shall wait till it is legiti mately produced with the author's unction. We shall only say that the music bore ternal evidence of being broken down and mutilated ; and that the strength of the company was quite inadequate to do anything like justice either to the characters of the drama or to the music, whether airs, concerted pieces, or choruses. We must, however, except Miss Pule, who represented the heroine with much spirit and intelligence, and sang several airs very prettily. Vibe *taw. _ FRENCH PLATS, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—There were given here last night one reappearance, one new ap pearance, and two new pieces. The reappearance (in itself a sufficient attraction for one cycling) was that of M. La font, who although, like most other people, not looking younger than he did last year, retains all his joyous vivacity of manner and airiness of mien. His reception, as was to by I expected, was most cordial. The new appearance was that , of Madame Paul Ernest, of the Theatre des Varietda, 1 a valuable accession to the company. She is young„ handsome, in her person, eleg..nt in her carriage, I an d, as far as we could judge from the slight sketch in which ' she appeared, an accomplished actress of genteel comedy. Her manner is animated without exuberance, and effective in its entire freedom from affectation; her voice highly pk...sing, and her enunciation excedent. Ti.e first of ti:e new pieces produced, " Let Extremes se Touchent," is, ea we have observed, a intro sketch. but it is a very pleasant one. The personages are M. Lafont and Madame Paul Ernest as the Chevalier Julliers and La Comte:se BOUM, and the plot of the sketch is a little stratagem which, after a lovers' quarrel, brings about a lovers' reconciliation. It is a pleasant affair, pleasantly acted. The other novelty. " Un MouPguetaire Grip," is, in its English form, no novelty to our readers, being the original of the 1 " Two Dragoons," so successfully produced a few weeks back at the Lyceum. Mane. Nathafie, we observe, makes her last appearance on Wednesday, when she will be the bin,- ficiaire of the evening. We are scaly to hear that we 3re about to lose M. Cartircey, an artist of the most consum_ 1 mate and various ability, and an especial favourite with the frequenters of this theatre. We do not at all see how his place is to be supplied.

" Ttionss Ourrkamok. " 16, Cannon-street. Birmingham, Oct. 29, 1147. "To the —, Sc." Witness was present at a meeting held at the Public office, Birmingham, on the Bth of March, at which the defendant spoke with reference to the Bishop of Manchester. He took notes of the defendant's speech in part only, but was careful not to write anything which defendant did not say. His instructions were to take only such parts of the speech as those whirls referred to the present trial. The defendant submitted that any evidence with refer ence to what he Ind stated at the meeting on the Bth of March was irrelevant, inasmuch as they were not in the informations. The Chief Justice observed that the motive by which the defendant was actuated was a material consideration in the present inquiry, and, consequently, anything he might have said precedent or subsequent to the publication of the imputed libel was admissible. A discussion here ensued as to whether or not parts or the whole of the pamphlets in which the libels appeared should be read. It was ultimately arranged that those parts only which were in the information should at present be read, and that the defendant should use what other portions he , pleased in the course of his defence. The reading of the libels having been concluded, The Lord Bishop of Manchester was called, and examined by Mr. Humfrey. In the year 1834 I was appointed head muter of the Birmingham Free Grammar School ; before that I bad been one of the masters of the school at Rugby. At the time I was appointed to the Birmingham School there were several candidates. The selection fell upon three gen tlemen, and I was elected. Mr. Humfrey: Did your lordship canvass for the appoint ment. The Bishop of Manchester : That is a difficult question to answer. At the time of tho election it was requested that no intercourse should take place between the candidates and the governors; but when reduced to three I received a letter from the secretary, requesting that I should call upon the governors, and I did so. That was all the canvass I ever made, and ' the other two gentlemen did the same. On going to Birmingham I took an interest in its institutions, and in January, 1842, I was elected a member of the Blue. coat School ; and, in conjunction with Captain Tindal, I made a 'marching scrutiny into the affairs of that institu tion. The clergy of St. l'hilip's were generally considered the clergy of , he school. Mr. Foster was master of the school when I first visited it, and I frequently came in contact with him. I recollect on Sunday the 14th of January, 1844, Mr. Foster came to me, between five and six in the afternoon, and requested me to attend a boy . who was very ill, and supposed to be dying. I declined doing so, on the ground that it would be better that one of the curates of St. Philip's church should be called. Mr. Foster went away and returned. Me said ha bad been unable to find a curate, and repeated his request that I would attend the boy. I accordingly went. hln. Lee accompanied me. I had dined at home. I sew the hey in the sock room. Two or three women were in the room. To the best of my recollection, I read a portion of the service for the Visitation of the Sick, and &fee wends prayed with the boy. Mrs. Lee remained in the committee-room while I went up stairs. It was a part of the duty of the master of the school at that time to address he boys on the Sunday evening. I introduced the subject of addressing the children; and, from hesitation on the part of Mr. Foster, I proposed to address the boys myself. I addressed the boys on the gospel of the day. There were, besides the children present, the master, mistress, four male teachers, two female teachers, and Mrs. Lee. I had 1,0 church duty in Birmingham. I was perfectly I sober. I recollect of f iciating at Bishop Ryder's church in the summer of 1845. Mr. Collinson, the incumbent, was abroad from domestic affliction, and Mr. Moore, the curate, was unwell. 1 read prayers in the morning. In the even ing I found Mr. Moore in the vestry. I convened with him for some time before the service commenced. Mr. Le d sun and another clergyman came in while I was there. I I read the prayers. 1 was at that time quite sober. I was not aware of any peculiarity occuring in the service with respect to the churching of women. I never, upon this, or any other occasion, performed Divine service when I wan not sober. Amongst other public institutions of Birming ham, I was connected with the General Hospital. I recol lect two elections for surgeons at which Mr. Gutteridge was &candidate. I recollect a meeting of the governors of the hospital, at which certain charges made by Mr. 'Gutte ridge against Mr. Hodgson, one of the surgeons, and Dr. Blikiston were brought forward. There was a large at tendance. That against Dr. Blakiston was for administer ing an over-dose of pruissie acid. The charge against Mr. Hodgson was for an alleged want of skill in tying up an anisy of the arm. Mr. Suckling moved for the apoointment of a committee to inquire into these charges ; when I pro jew.4, as an amendment, that Mr. Gntteridge and Mr. Led. 'am should be called upon to substantiate the charges. My amendmen. was carried by a large majority. [The bishop was under examination when this report left Warwick. The trial, in all probability, will last two or three days.] WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Gtoucesven, APRIL 3. Crimes Cot ar.—Before Mr. Justice Creswell. ATrEMPT TO Rua AND MURDER.— W.

The third Price must either have been the offender or an accomplice charge was wilfully falsifying the report of certain pro- in th transportation.e traneaction.—Verdict, Guilly.--Sentence, twenty ceedings which occu rred at the General Hospital. These yews' libels appeared in a letter to Lord Calthorpe, and other documents, When the letter to Lord Celthorpc appeared, Dr. Lee felt deeply hurt, and he consulted his friends as to the course which he ought to pursue, when he was told that his conduct and character were too well known to require any vindication against such attacks, and that he ought to treat such slanders, and the parties from whom they proceeded, with the contempt they merited. Dr.ctober last it pleased her Majesty to anpoint O Lee to the bishopric of Manchester, a nd then Mr. Outteridge renewed with increased energy his attacks upon the character of the bishop. He addressed letters to all the bishops and ministers of state, as well so to the clergy of the diocese of Manchester, in which he offered to prove all that he had ever said or written affecting the reputation of Dr. Lee. It was evident that now forbearance was no longer justifiable, and that it became the duty of the rev. prelate to adopt immediate steps for the vindication of his character. He might have proceeded by an action for damages That, however, might have been deemed a mer cenary proceeding, and it was thought the fairest towards the defendant himself to apply for a criminal information. Under that proceeding it was competent for him to swear to his belief of the charges he had made ; be had not dared to do that, and the rule was made absolute. He (the learned counsel) would place Dr. Lee, aye, and Mrs. Lee, in the witness-box, and the defendant would then have the oppor tunity of submitting them to a searching cross examination. He was doubtful whether the defendant could call • wi- ne , s; but if he should merely content himself with a repe tition of the calumnies with which he now stood charged, he would be taught that such offences would not be allowed to go unpunished. The learned counsel, in opening the case, spoke for upwards of three hours and a half. Mr. Le Mayor, of the Branch Bank of England, and Mr. Vicar proved the purchase of the several paint hlets con taining imputed libels upon the Bishop of Manchester, at the residences of the defi ndaut in the Crescent and in Cannon-street, Birmingham.

POLICE.-YrATERDAT. WORSHIP-STREBT.—HIMINVAT ROSIERT.— Thomas Bailey, well known to the police, was charged with having been concerned, with two other men not in custody, in assaulting and robbing Mr. Henry Haynes, a brasofounder, in Chapman-street, St. George's-in-the-Feat.—The prose cutor was passing through Wentworth sweet, Whitechapel, on,his way home, at a late hour on the preceding night, when the prisoner and two other men suddenly rushed out I from a dark passage, and one of them instantly struck him a stunning blow between the eyes, which caused the blood to 11, gush from his none, and felled him to the ground. Before i he bad time to recover himself they all threw themselves at upon him, and commenced rifling his pockets, from which they extracted all the loose silver he bad about him, and darted t off in different directions. His cries of " murder" arrested the attentioa of police-constable Fowler, who was hastening to his assistance, when he saw the prisoner, who lead been walk- t , ing rapidly from that direction, enter a low lodging. house in 3 the neighbourhood, to which he immediately conducted the 3 prosecutor ; and upon making their way into an upper room they found the prisoner in the act of changing hit dress, and 1 having been instant 3 , recognised by the prosecutor as one of the thiev. she was taken into custody. There were several beds in the room, occupied by characters of the worst de scription, and in one of which the prisoner declared that he had been sleeping: but upon turning down the clothes another man was diecovsred cronching beneath them, with his boots and all his clothes on, and the prosecutor expressed his belief that he also was one of the rubbers, although he was unable positively to identify him. Upon searching the prisoner some money was found upon him corresponding with part of that taken from the nrosecutor, and also a silk handk , rchief, with the initials "H. R.," which the officer entertained no doubt was the produce of another robbery.— The prisoner positively denied all kno 'ledge of the rubbery, L but it was too conclusively estab lished to admit of any doubt, and Mr. Mammal ordered him to be fully committed to Newest° for trial. MARYLEISON B.—CIO:710X TO WOOD-ENGRAVEIIS.— J. Thompson *MS broueht before Mr. Broughton, charged with having damaged a seat in the Regent's Park. Oa the previous day Benjamin Trayte, one of the p ark kee p ers, saw S the prisoner cutting with a knife his initials on a seat, end he took him into custody.—The prisoner, on being asked by I the magistrate what he had to say, replied that it was his ; first offence, and promised not to do the like again. He • thought he was not doing any harm, as the seat was cut in , the same way from beginning to end.—Mr. Broughton gave him to understand that if he had a propensity for engraving upon wood he should pursue his calling elsewhere, and in flicted upon him a penalty of lOs., in default of payment one week's imprisonment.

The disposition to sell still prevails among specu lators, and appears to be held in some sort of check only by the difficulty, not apprehended only but real, of finding stock for delivery when wanted, for money stock remains but little more accessible than before. The dealings to-day were somewhat more active than on Saturday, but the market had a heavy ap pearance. Console fluctuated between 80i and 801, leaving off 801 to 4 for money and account.

By the returns of the Bank of France made up to the 30th ult., received to-day, the fact comes confirmed of the loan for 50 millions of francs to the government—a forced loan, of course, in the circumstances. The supply was afforded opportunely, and not one day before it was needed. Fur the mo ment it makes a respectable addition to the credit of the treasury account with the Bank, although, ac cording to accounts, a considerable breach was soon made in the fund so reinforced. On the very day this loan was agreed for, and carried to account, the ba lance in bank at the disposal of the government was reduced to less than nine millions of francs, say at most 350,0001., a sum ludicrously small as a state fund, and which, at the present profuse rate of its expendi ture, could scarcely have enabled the government to carry on and:pay its way fur a week forward. Unless the receipts of taxes come liberally in aid, and promptly, it is evident that resources mast shortly become more scarce and difficult, and that the government will be placed in a fix. With industry and credit both equally disorganised, insolvency may chance to arrive before M. Louis Blanc can have laid the foundation of his national workshops for reorganising the one, or more clear-sighted and deter mined M. Gamier Pages can have possessed himself of the means for retrieving the other. Desperate extremities may be resorted to, but unlimited issues of inconvertible and already depreciated paper money,, which would be the facile recourse, would have no chance in these days of a life one-tenth as long as that of the assignats of a former period.

Treesed, the Lard Chancellor, Lord Campbell, and ether peers LAPALET AND OTHERS V. GAMMON ANN MARRIAO2.--LEGITINIACT.—This was an appeal against an 1 interlocutor of the Court of Session, and was opened last I Tuesday, and further heard o n Thu rsday. The question, which involves the legitimacy of the appellants, we raised in this way : William Lapsley, formerly merchant in Olas gow, died in the year 1798, having by trust-disposition I (ill), dated Dec., 17 92, disposed of all his heritable pro perty to trustees for his children, William, Robert, James, and John Lapsley and the survivors of them for life, and to their children in fee, equally among them. Two of these, James and John, died before 1812, without leaving children ; and William also died. leaving two children, Sarah and William Lapsley, to whom the survivors of the trustees of their grandfather's will sasigned the trust pro perty, and they being duly served as nearest lawful heirs d to their grandfather under the sa id trust-disposition, sold an conveyed the property therein comprised to Philip Grier son, father of the respondent, in 1827, for 1,400/ , and he was duly infeft therein. In Inn the appellant and his minter, mother of the other appellants, since deceased, claimed to be entitled to the mob ty of the property comprised in then d t ru st-disposition, as the lawful chil d r en of John Lay, ono of the said lour sons of the author of the trust-disposi tion. Actions were raised in their names to establish their eighths one half of the property; and in those actions the ultimate and principal question was whether their parents, John Lapsley, who died in 1810, and Janet M`Kinley, were married persons. The history of Janet M'Kenley was that she was first married to one James Kidd, and after his . cleath in 1796 she married William Paul, who went to A merica, and was not heard of after the year 1804. From the year 1807 she lived with John Dinghy up to his death in 1810, and was reported by the neighbours to be his wife, but there was no direct proof of marriage. The first appellant and his sister, mother of the other appellants, were un questionably their children. The Lord Ordinary, open • Lull view of the evidence, held them to he legitimate, but the court, upon appeal from his judgment, reversed it, sad the present appeal is against the latter judgment.—Mr. Stuart Wortley and Mr. Anderson have been heard at great length for the appellants; Mr. Turner and Mr. Rolf are for the respondents, but have not yet con , eluded their arguments.—The main point in the arguments was this : although the cohabitation of a man and woman in Scotland may, without ceremony, or even formal ac knowledgment of marriage, be a valid marriage by habit and repute, and would legitimate the offspring, they must at the commencement of their cohabitation be capacitated to marry, but the woman in this case was not so capacitated, , for she was then, for aught she knew, the wife of another man, and there was no proof of his death nor any grounds , to presume it, neither at the commencement nor at any , time during the continuance of her cohabitation with Lap city. Among the num rose decisions in Scotland en ques tions of legitimacy, no case has been found to govern this question. • ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND cincurr.— Coc W aAßwicx, Arno. 1.

The prisoner had made overtures of marriage to Mrs. Sirdetteid, which it seemed met with the disapprobation of Thacker, who took every opportunity of abusing the prisoner. It was gated that he had a wife living. In July lag the parties met at Mrs. Sirdefield's and a quarrel ensuing, Thacker struck the prisoner with a poker. The prisoner left the house and wrote a letter, in which he designated the proaecutor'as a " liar, coward, and blackguard; and intimated that-he was staying at an inn, which he named." This was the eubjeet of the indictment. It appeared that there were indictments pending against the prosecutor by the prisoner for assault, and after the case had been part heard it was agreed that the proceedings on both sides should be abandoned, and the prisoner enter into recognixances to keep the peace for 12 monthe. Teta QUIRK v. FoWLEß.—PintleßT.—The prisoner in ' this case had been a builder at Leamington, and become bankrupt. He was now indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury in his examination before a commissioner of bank ruptcy at Birmingham in October 1844. It appeared that I shortly before his bankruptcy the prisoner had borrowed a large sum of money ; and suspicion being entertained that be was about to leave the country he was arrested. He sip. posed that a workman in his employ had informed his cre ditors of his intentions, and upon this he got a warrant for felony against the man, and charged him with having stolen goods and money from him to a large amount, but he failed in substantiating the charge, and the case was die , missed by the magistrates before whom it was heard. In his examination in Oztuber, 1844, he distinctly swore that the statement he had then made wa s true, but in several subeequent examinations he admitted that he had then worn filsely. It was proved distinctly that no such rob bery had ever been committed. He had been committed to prison by the commissioner, and had remained there up to the present time.--The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his lung im prisonment. —The sentence of the court was, that be should pay a line of one shilling, and be transported for seven years.

The only question wee. whether the defendant had pledged his personal credit. The ruling of the learned judge inti mating that he had not, the jury found a verdict for the defendant. WARWICK, APRIL 3. Before chief J us tice Wilde and a Special Jury. THE QUEEN EPoN THE PIHISECI:TION OF THE Bi shop OF At A NCREnT ER O. G UTTER IDGII.—ME. Whitehurst, Q C., Mr. Humphrey, and Mr. Wad din g ton appeared as couusel for the prosecution. Mr. Waddington, in oJening the pleadings, said the pre sent was a criminal information tiled by the Lord B:rhop of Manchester against Thoineitiuttendge, for a misdemeanour. The information, in subetance, charged the defendant with having published libel.. imputing to the prosecutor drunken ness, lying, and malignity. The defendant pleaded first that he did not publish the libels, and specially with regard to three of the charges that they were true. Upon the application of the defendant, the witnesses on both sides were directed to 1 ave the court. Mr. Whitehurst said he bad the honour to appear as counsel for the Bishop of Manchester. The right rev. prelate was no doubt known to many of the jury, as long a resident in the neighbourin2 town of Rugby, • high and distin guished scholar, and who merited the good opinion of all who knew him. The cue had created the greatest excite ment in the country, and be (the learned counsel) was not surprised at such an effect, when he considered the dignity of the party accused, and the nature of the libels of which he had to complain. Dr. Lee had not been desirous of entering into legal proceedings, nut per'ecutioa in his case was carried beyond all endurance, and i. wu necessary for the vindica tion of his character, and with a view to the future efficiency of his spiritual office in the diocese to which he lad been appointed, that the present proceedings should be enopted. Doctor Lee was irmerly a master in Rugby school, and in 1838 he received the appointment' of the Birmingham Free Ciirivnmar School. On taking up his abode in that town he immediately connected himself with many of its important institutions; and in 1842 he was elected a member of the committee of the Blue-coat School. He there found the education of the c.,ildren much neglected, and many abuses of long standing existing. He, with others, set about reforming the evils under which the school was suffering, and thus interfered with the habits and practices of the masters, as well as the prejudices of some of the member' of the committee of that institution. But Dr. Lee was a gentleman of firm mind, and not to be deterred by the opposition of those interested in the then system of management. lie afterwards became connected, as • governor, with the General Hospital; and it Ivos in consequence of his conduct in reference to the election of surgeons to that hospital, and the course he pursued in defence of Mr. Hodgson, an emi nent surgeon, and Dr. 131akisten, ens of the physicians to the institution, against certain charges of negligent and unskilful treatment, brought forward by Mr. Gutteridge and a Mr. Ledsam, that the Bishop of Manchester had been since subjected to the infamous libels of which he now com plained.
