Mr. Ober Limitary, bookseller, of Park-street, Bristol, produced a card, which was brought to his shop on the 25th of January by aby named Lock. He believed the baud unities to be Mr. Braith's. On the card was the following —" M. 8., Mr. Lsabury'e, Park -•tenet, Bristol." Received three letters in one day. Some bad the initials, " M. 5.," and some "8.M."

Shia wee the case for the proercation. The Bev. Mr. 801 , 6 thee made a meet telling and im- On:eddrees to the wort, raiding from notes whi c h be his hand. His statement was pwhaps the most es treordinary ewer made la a coast of Justice. He acid he shined have pi tell them of his folly sad his shame, but he solemnly seared them that what he was about to tell them wee • clear end true statement of the circumstances which had brought him into that position. After a powerful appeal to the feelings of his lordship and the jury be with his narrative. In fluptember, 1848, ho said he first saw his present wife, that limb Mille, and ihil is love with bee. Bhe wee them abstain perm of ego, the daughter of mall Lose la Leal, living la Lyles at Swan and Edgar's. He had net lima hot LPL! Lea at Cambridge, but it was speed that they &veld be tassels as woes. as he could afford it. His &thee, although view el illedbury, had • large family, sad therefore could net win him • and from his sixteenth yaw he had maintained himself by Lacking. He married Leh Mills, in July, 1849, at St. Ponces' Church, London, and they spent a fortnight at his wife's father's, is Heat. Subsequently , he o btai ned a mooed mastership of Bishops' College, Bristol, with 1081. a year, and left his wile in London for • time, until he could make arranxements for her reception. Subsequently she came 0 live with him ; his circumstances improved ; they took In some boarders; and he gave up the Bishops' College, and wan getting an income of 4001. a year, when the terrible disclosure came upon him which had blasted all his happiness. He wee very fond of his dear wife and children, of whom he had four. Bat he had frequently observed her melancholy, and she had Elo quently wept upon his bosom, declaring that she yea unworthy of his kindness. At length, an the 22ad of January last, he having remarked on her me lancholy, she told him she had something on her mind which calmed It. The rev. prisoner then in impressive languore desaibed the stew between himself and his wife, when she, heeding at his het, acknowledged that she had been unfaithful to him since their ' that daring his absence from her at Bristol her mind had poisoned by Leach—that she had been persuaded he had forsaken bar, and Leach wrote =prom* his sorrow for her foriont condition, and begging for an interview—that they met at Canterbury, and proceeded thence by rail to Whitstable, avow by two relatives of Mrs. Smith— that they sat until the train was lost, which be imputed to the design of Leach, sad that the two companions of Mrs. &Mil went to bed leaving them together—that then the diet adaltery took plane between them, which wad repasts& is Lon. His wife also told him that Leach had peo teen at y her the end of seven years. Re they described rma the state of mind which Attie had thrown him foto, sad on which he had made • resolve to administer a chastisement to him, sad he had re solved that the retaliation should be after the manner of the seduction. Leach had travelled to Canterbury for hie emu lust; and he (Mr. Smith) resolved he should travel to Tate for hie chastisement. He had therefore directed his wife to writs the letters (which he himself had ooncocted); he had pleased the widow's weeds and the journey to Tate ; and his wife had implicitly obeyed him, acting under the promise which he made to her that he would do him no serious harm. He then dosoribed the facts of the attack ' exactly as they hed been detailed by the witnesses, and de clared that he. had no Intention to um the revolver, but he took it with him for the purpose of protecting himself by threatening to use it in owe Lack should threatea him the knife. He thought the Ira wiles* erickaansee was known to his own cone:Lae would take the beating quietly. He concluded with • ibrethie appal to the jury, acknow ledging be had treaagremead the law, but appealing to them on the wore of feeling. ' Mr . Huddleston thee proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the female prisoner whom he described as the victim of the seducer (Leech), when but • child of 16 or 17 Cr. After her marriage the prosecutor had still pursued , s aad would not allow her to take a respootable position in life. He found her out when she was staying with her friends in Kent, and, though it pimeed him to decline to answer the question, the jury could not for • moment doubt ' that he had committed the crime of adultery with the your woman. At that very time he knew she was a wsmau, for he admitted that he had addressed a letter to her in her married name; and the fact that be pro mised her, If she would live with him, he would marry her In seven years showed the same. It was all very wall for the prosecutor to enjoy the immunity of the winsome -box, while the primmer's mouth was closed In the 'ileum of the dock ; but the politicos of the prisoners was preferable to the infamy of that awho did not dare to deny his guilt, because there were In that bonne at Whitstable who could have maitre him. The learned counsel preceeded to coated that the male prisoner never intended to murder the prosecutor, for if he had done so he could have dam it without &Soul_ ry. At the meet, his offers,* only amounted to unlawfully wounding, as there was nothing to show that he Intended to lallice grievous bodily harm, oe to do more than give thizarasseutor a rood thrashing. With respect to the prisoner, the learned counsel observed that the law presented that In • cue of this sort the wife was acting under the coercion of her husband, though that fact alight be rebutted if she was found acting alone. He then ocoszoisted cm the facts of the case, to show that in writing the letters sad in everything she did she was acting under the authority, end even in the eyesight of her husband, and upon that woad he contended she was entitled to ac quittal. The hams& oatmeal concluded by easing that he asked solidus from mercy, bat be believed the jury would 166111 = 6 " Minas'; sod 18 called upon them to do yield ios to MLR es men by saying she was nut guilty. Mr. Baron Chaanell having summed up the evidence, the jury found both the prisoners Godly of cutting and wound ing with intent to disfigure and to do grievous bodily harm, but they added that the female prisoner had oommitted no actual violence, and that she had acted throughout under the coercion of her husband. iiiiLoedZipd;ierredparin g gentlemen till the morning. and said he would admit the women to WE, and reserve the point in her favour. ROME CIRCUIT.—Kmorrox, APRIL 6. (Brion) Mr. Justice Williams and • Common Jury.) . This was an action to mover damages for a malicious prosecution. Mr. Pearce was counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. A. H. Simon were ter the defendant. This case was of rather a peculiar character.

After they had talked together for some than he proposed that they should have some re fieshmeat, end he took her to a public home, where she bad a gime of wine, and he eventually induced her to consent to accompany him to a house of ill-fame, end the plaintiff alleged that this was the first time she had been guilty of similar misconduct. It appeared that after this the defendant intro duced the plaintiP to hie daughter, and recommended her is a servant, and she continued in her marries for some time, and in February, 1866, she was delivered of a male child. The de fondant, who, it appeared, carries on the busbies of a builder at Camden dawn, for some time gave the plaintiff money, but _upon his failing to do so, she sum mo ned him be the magistrates at Wandsworth, and they mad* aa order that he should pay half-a-crown a week for the child. He complied with this order for several mouths, but at length he became In erveer, and upon his the ti bein i F ff sd for payment he obtained a summons against , calling upon her to appear before th e W worth bench, to answer a charge of having committed wilful and corrupt perjury In the evidence given by her to et=the order of affiliation. This eurumous was dis hy the magistrate, and the present action was brought to recover damage, from the defendant for having, es was snit, maliciously preferred this charge against the plaintiff plaintiff, a young woman of very ordinary appear suck wee maimed, and she proved a great many of the above Iscita, and swore positively that it was in the month of June, lat, that she first met the defendant, and she also staid that after he had obtained her the situation ea servant to hie daughter he visited her and the illicit intercourse be tween then was continued in his daughter's house. The deiedant, a man over fifty years of age and of mord -B.KI appearance, was called as • winter, and be admitted that be had been ' impr ud ent" in his connexion with the plain ' tiff, but he asserted that the intercourse first commenced in the month of September, and therefore he could have had ao right to claim the paternity to the infant. The craw-examination of the witness ceased a gond deal of Imaghter. He denied having given himself out to be ame who went about trying to reclaim young girls, but be admitted that it was his practice to endeavour to induce young women he met in the streets to leave off their evil warms and go to some penitentiary. Mr. Justice Williams inquired whether be wait to under stand that the witness was in the habit of asking every prostitute he met to do this?

In answer to farther questions the defendant admitted that be bad continued the illicit intercou.se with the plaintiff after she was la his daughter's service, bet be denied that it tool place in the house of his daughter, and said that it only occurred on two eccssione, and then she went out with him. Another witness eta called, who swore that the drat Inter view between the dalesdant and the plaintid occurred in the month of eaptember, and it also appeared that the defendant had paid 361. to make sa action for seduction that had been brought mist hiss by flts father of the plauttie.

While be was endeavouring to disperse the crowd, be saw the prisoner snatch up a tobacco jar (an earthen one), and strike the complainant over the heed with it. He immediately rushed into the shop, and prevented him from repeating the blow with a broken piece he held is his hand. After securing him, he oonveyed the complainant to the hospital, where het wounds were dreaeed. Mr. Solomon asked him whether the complainant did not make use of a filthy expression to the prisoner before he struck her. _ _ *Ttnesesaid hews' done by, and he never heard her attar a word, or give the hest provocation to trim. In answer to the charge, Mr. Solomon said he was in structed to say that the complainant aggravated his client = ta ir sn eh by calling him filthy name, and in a moment of t he took up the jar, which he wee using, and struck her, but he had no intention of injuring her. He therefore hoped his worship would adjourn the cue for a sow days, and allow his client to make some arrangement with the complainant. Mr. Combs said that he must make an arrangements he thought proper when he cane out of priam, am it was not likely he could overlook such a murderous assault. It was indeed a wonder that be had not killed her.

After Mr. Land's statement had been confirmed, Mr. Charnock, for the defendants. said that he regretted the occurrence, which had only arisen out of the extreme loyalty of the young gentlemen.

Colonel Donnell, the staff officer at Addiscombe, having given the three cadets an excellent character, and Wilcox's master having done the same in the case of hie servant, Mr. Lund stated that he had for some observed the excellent and gentlemanly conduct of the Addlsoombe cadets, sad was extremely sorry that such a circumstance should have occurred.

I allude to the cm of Mr. William Austin of Faraquhar, Dundrieethint, who is reported to have suddenly died in en express train, on his way to Scotland. The report states that I gave my opinion that "Mr. Austin was sufficiently strong to travel," and that ac cordingly he left Euston-equare with his wife," Az. The facts of the case are these : —Mr. Austin consulted me on the 6th of February last, having stated to me be bad been under the treatment of several medicentlemen, who had treated him for a complaint of the sto mach. After examining his case, I told the gentleman who accom panied him, Mr. M Inept, tiat his disease wee not one of the stomach, but extensive tubercnisrizal ions of his lungs, acoom panied with a large cavity, and that it was impossible he Gould recover. at 28„ Trevor-square, Knightsbridge (not Marlborough-square, Chelsea, as the report states), during the whole of which time be continued to get won; Prom my drat attendance upon him, be repeatedly =- pressed a wish to go to Scotland, to which I distinctly and emphatically objected, also explaining to Mr. Wlntyrs, in whore house he resided (not his brother"; as stated) th a t the cavity was so extensive that there wee a danger of his dying an the way from suffocation, which opinion has proved too tribe. During my last three interviews with him, Mr. M'lntyre and his wife informed me that he was determined to go, to which I urged my tbrmer objection, adding that if be did so it must be on their own respowibility, not mine.

TO THI EDITOS 01 THI =TIMM 81i,—After the dreadful loss of life occasioned by the fire in Gilbert-street, any one who can proves a mode of escape which can be easy and attended with some degree of certainty, I am sure will meet with the approbation of the public. I have lung entartaioed en idea that a descent from • house on fire might be aecomplished by the following means—and should this proposal be thought practicable, and attended with safety to persona unfortunately left amidst the &WM on such melancholy occasions, I trust you will lend your aid in making it known by the Memnon of this letter in your widely circulated paper. The plan I would propose is this : I would have on each story of • house • eliding balcony, hung, like • window sash, with chains Meted of rupee ; it should be placed in • French window, and the weight of whoever might rush into it would carry it down, and on getting nut, the side weights would draw it up again. This would be a sure escape ; as the machine would act of iterlf when put in motion, and no want of resolution in the person descending would defeat the effect. To prevent 0041C11•6116 when it reaches the bottom I would have • spiral spring attached to the lower part of the balcony ; if this could be aocomplothed children would be car ried down with as much safety os full-grown persons, and if there should not be • sufficient weight to overbalance the side weights, I would have in a recess by the window weights to throw into the balcony. These balconies cannot be placed immediately over each ether. The melancholy seem which has tak.n piece, attended with the lose of M ims lives, proves the futility of relying on fire-escapee as they are now attempted, as the time lost between the break oat of the fire and the bringing of the fins-escape renders k logos/able to rescue any of the unfortunate inmates of the boar s and the preempt proposal will always put • mode at means in the power of the lumpiest person. lam aware bow dillwalt It is to get others to coincide with you in any ilitl••• tits, bat it this ran be dons and improved upon by any inge nious engineer it might be the means of saving many lives.
