The following account of the proceedings in the divorce of this lady from her husband, Captain James, tsken from the cilia dos:tamest in the Cups/story Court of Lon don, dated on the let Session of Trinity Term, Taesday. the 31st of May, 1842, will just now doubtless be read with as Interest they did not possess at the time they took place : (Ettore the Right Ron. 8. Lushington.) The annual meeting of this company wee held yes terday at the offi.sa in Gambill, Mr. Junes Mengreggar, M.r., in the chair. The secretary read a report, which stated that, owing to the early stage of the proceedings of the company, nothing bed been do i • involving ousiderable out lay, or promising immediate dividend. "The direeton had given their first attention to the coal mines at Labnan, to the working of which they had coed. deed it prudent to limit, for the present the operations of the company. The directors deemed it important to avoid delay in having enured to this company definitively the five hundred asce of coal district in Leaman agreed to be granted by the Crown, taking actual possession thereof, and anertalshig the best mods of working the same. The directors, therefore, despatched to La been a ear riatendent to survey, take possession of, end sport upon, the coal mine., and the best steps for their selvantspou working, and also to superintend the works. Mr. Motley, who produced the highest testimonials, was selected for this important minion, and hie Dreliminar. !re. port, dated 24th May last, bad recently arrived, but there had not been time sufficient to enable hint to make a full report, which migtt be shortly expected. He was actively enraged in the ful fi lment of kb instruction', but until the arrival of the stores (now on the way to Labuan) he could not efficiently commence the coal workings. Mr. Motley's report of the value of the coal is highly satisfactory. All aceouots confirmed the favourable opinion already publialte3 of the Labium coal ; and the feet that in April tut Labuan coal sold in the market at ttingepore at eleven dollars per ton seems eonclunve on this head. Tre China mail steamer would in all probability very soon be required to call at Labuan, and from its advantageous position no sooner would the works of the eompany be known to be in full and regular operation, than a could' cable demen t for Labuan coal must follow with certainty end regularity. Hitherto no call beyond the deposit of Si. per share had been male, but a further call of 61 per share would be made in October next."

CiAIMeBOROUGII.—Three monument eases of Asiatic cho lera occurred La Gainaborangto in tits early part of ,the week. A MAN SHOT BY HIS BROTHER. At Liverpool, en Thursday, a man, named Robert Eager, sou charged with having shot his brother, John Eager. The prisoner is a person of very mild appearance, about thirty-live years of age, and presents any thing but the look of a man guilty of the deed with which he is charged. It appeared that the prisoner and his brother, who are Irishmen, took a warehouse at the corner of Cunliffe-street, Liverpool, two months ego, for the purpose of dealing in ilamsgsd corn. On Monday last, John Eager sold tome part of the stock without the kaowledge of his brother, and they fell out in consequence. On Weinesday afternoon, • cart was brought to remove it, but Rebut Eager refused to let it go. J .thn insiqed upon it being removed, and helped the carter to load hie cart Wads ran high be tween the brothers, and Robert deli:mrately drew a pistol from his pocket and discharged it at his brother, who fell upon the warehouse floc. The report of the pistol alarmed the neighbourhood, and Mr. Maher, who occupies a shop under the warehous:e, immediately re paired to the room. Oa entering. he diswenrad John Eager lying on his back upon the g sor, and his brother standing over him with a pia'ol in his hand. The face of the poor MAR MSS severed with blood, and his shirt and wet were saturated. Mr. Mather inquired what was the matter? and it hr (Robert) had shut his brother? lie calmly replied, " Yes," and did not express either regret or sorrow. Oa being asked if the pistol was loaded, he said, "Yes, with slugs." Two officers then entered, to whom he ease the pistol, and acknowlAge4 the crime, saying that be toil him he would do it. He did not mske any as sistance, but went quietly to the police statim. The injured man was immediately removed to the North am Hospital, where his wounds were at once examined. It was found that two slugs had entered the body at the pit of the stomach, and penetrated an inch and a quarter Jeep. Mr. Tearne, the house surgeon, immediately extracted one of the slugs, but the other was not discovered, and still remains in the body. • certificate was read from Mr. Tearne, to the effect that the unfortunate man was not able to attend court. Mr. Superintendrno. Clough stated that, on Tuesday even imp, both John and Robert Eager were brought to the Cen tral Poice-rffice in the custody of an officer, charged with quarrelling and fighting in Culiliffe crest, relutive to some beans which the one was endeavouring to carry away with out the consent of the other. Whilst at the Central Office Robert (the prisoner) preferred a charge of felony against John for steeling the beans. On irquiry Mr. Superinten dent Clough learned that a partnership subsisted bc•ween I the parties, and consequently he declined taking the charge ; but he directed the officers who h.id them in custody to set them at liberty, and to take the beans beck to the warehouse from which they had been brought. In the meantime Mr. Clough had urged strongly on both parties the necessity and propriety of an amicable settEment. He suggested arbi tration, and they speed to adopt his suggestion. The beans were carried back to the warehouse, and placed there ; and there seemed to be a desire between the parties to come to an amicable arrangement. Matters went on quietly enough up to Wednesday afternoon, about one o'clock, when John Eager, the unfortunate young man who has been shot, game again to Mr. Clough's office, accom panied by another man, whom be had selected to act as arbi trator on his behalf, but he stated that his brother would not then agree to the proposed arbitra'iun, and that he insisted en removing the goods. Mr. Clough advised Eager to keep the peace, and to do all in his power to settle the matter, stating at the UM time that he could rot interfere. In about half an horn after his brother had left Robort Emer (the prisoner) came to Mr. Clough's office, and produced a number of documents to prove that he had paid the rent of the warehouse he., as well as his brother, and asked Mr. Clough what h ei should do. Mr. Clough replied, "Oo settle the dispute by arbitration, as you agreed to do test night." The reply he then cave was, " Then if you de not take my brother into custody, I'll del , nd my pro2erty." Mr. Clough then informed him that if any act of violence was committed, both himself and his brother would be ap prehended, and urged upon hint to keep the poem He, however, left the office, his features berag pushy pile ; and in less than three-quarters of an hour afterwards . tielst was received at the office that he had shot his brother n. On the prisoner being asked by Yr. Rushton what he had to my, he replied that he should like to know how hie brother was before he said anythicg, and continued, " I was provoked to it." He then attempted to justify his conduct, on t''s ?mud that, se he could not get pro- Metion from the polies, he was obliged to resort to the means he hail to prevent his property being removed. He had committed the deed whilst in a state bordering ea neadll6,ll. Mr. Rushton said the prisoner had appalled to the police to interfere in an affair over which they had no jurisdiction. It was a matter for an action at law, and concluded by saying, " You have taken an awful course, and must be remanded." The prisoner, throughout the exami nation, teemed greatly agitated, his face presenting a ghastly mier. pa lt appears the prisoner and his brother are natives of a pier called M Mown, county of Kerrv, Ireland. John Eager kms resided in Liverpool for the last 12 years. His brother Robert has been there about 12 months. He resided with his brother John, and suffered much from ill health. His brother, it is saki. was extremely kind to 1 ins, but a rumour having reached Robert's OM that his brother John was about to disposs of •11 hie stock and other property, with a view of em arcing to America, it is supromd this led him to the commission of the frightful deed we have recorded above.

On the 23rd day of July, 1837, I solemnised a Marriage between my said brother and a young lady (with whom I had been acquainted only a few days previously) of the name of Eliza Rosanna Gilbert.

I read the marriage service, and duly pronounced the said Thomas James sad Elias Rosanna Gilbert to be lawful husband and wife ; an entry of such marriage was then made and signed by the said parties. My brother and his wife, immediately after their marriage went to Dublin where they lived in lodgings in Westmoreland street. I have reason to be lieve that in the autumn of the year 1838 my said brother and his wife proceeded to India. My brother has not been in England or in Europe since his departure in le3ll.

I was introduced by Colonel Watson to the plaintiff. He was then in the Bethel establishment. I subsequently returned to Europe, sad while at Dublin I met Mr. and Mrs James. Mr. Junes in formed me that his wife was the step-daughter of Major Craigie. Mr. and Mrs. James went to India in 1838. On the evening of the 2!nd of February, 1841, Major Iltllulten fulled on me, and said that he had been written to by Major Craigle to t ake charge of Mrs James on her arrival from India. I was then ittfertned that Mrs. James had arrived, bat that she bad &clued to avail herself of the hospitality of Meijer IsPee ellen. I subsequently called at the Imperial' Hotel, Covent Garden, and saw Mrs. James at breakfast. I had a long conversation with her about the rep sts which bad reached me, and endeavoured to induce her to piece herself under my protection, but which she declined doing, and I never saw her afterwards " Mr. EP:elude Walters, of the Imperial Hotel, sworn, taitn,—On the evening of Sunday, the 21st of February, 1811, a geutleman and lady strived at the hotel la a hackney coach, having with them a greet deal or luggage; tome of the purtmar tutus had on them the name of Mr. T. Lennox, and others the name of Mrs. James. I inquired of tne la •y whether one or two bedrooms would be wanted, to which the gentlemen answered one bedroom, and the lady yielded, We want only one bedroom.' They were then shewn note a sitting room which had a bedroom. The same gentleman a•d lady supped together. I cannot depose that I actually saw the said lody and gentlemen undressed or in bed. They were only charged for one bed. On the following morning Mr. Lennox paid the bill and went away. I afterwards saw Major IC/Innen and deli ' his massage to Mrs James ; theme , d that she should not go. She also told me en the same day that Mr. Lennox wan gone to see his parents at Bagnor. Alter admitting her name to be James, she said she was going to marry Mr. Lennox.

Mrs. James returned from India in the month of February, 1841. Abcut two or three months previously I received a letter from my brother, dated Calcutta, in which he informed's, that his wile had met with a fall from hsr horse, and was otherwise so out of health that her return to Europe was necessary. My brother also informed me that ho hat written to Mrs. Rte, in Edinburgh, to come to Eng land to protect, to receive, and take charge of his wife, Mts. Rae being aunt to Mrs. James. Atter beirg informed of what had occurred, I called and saw Mrs. James at Great R.der-street, when I luformed her that I had been ma aware of her having pawed a night at the Imperial Hotel, with Mr. Lenuez, toilers other circumstances which had occurred between her and him during the homeward voyage from lade' and pointed out to her the unutterable ruin that awaited he; in persisting in inch a course, and endeavoured to persuade her to plum herself under the care et Mrs. Rae.

Mr. James remained on board with his wife after the ship got under weigh and until the vessel had proceeded some distance down the Oattges. It was then proposed that Mrs James should be plead under the rent cue of myself and husband; but it being understood that a Mr. and Mrs. Sturges were also going passengers, who were friends of the fainey, she was elles el under their care. The Larkins touched at Madras, and there received Lieutenant Lennox, of the Madras Cavalry, as a passenger. Within a few days after I observed that the conduct of Mrs. James towards him was very unguarded and flighty. Her general behaviour was what is commonly called flirting. This intimacy soon allowed him to veil her in her cabin. As she was not placed under our care we di I not think ourselves entitke, to expos tulate with her. I hare repeatedly seen Mr. Lennox and Mrs. James sitting on the sofa, his arm being round her waist. Upon being remonstrated with she replied that she was her own mistress. I found it necessary to discontinue mutating with her, and to exclude her visiting my cabin. Mr. Charles Ingram gave corroborative evidence, and in addition said—l have he ,rd Mrs. James address Mr. Lennox as "dear Lennox," whom she used to receive alone in her cabin. lie used to be there at very unwarrantable hours ; they were alone together while the rest of the passengers were attending levies service no deck. I have seen him with his arm round her waist while they were sitting far aR on the poop late at night. I have more than once spoken to her; she answered in a very cool manner that she should do so she liked, and would not be under the control of anybody. I saw no mere than violent flirting, which in a married mum I considered as very improper. Mrs. James and Mr. Lennox landed from the Dimities at Portsmouth on the 20th of February, 1841. Mr. James was not on board the vessel during her voyage from Madras. " Carotin Harden, servant to Mrs. Ingram—l was onboard the Larkins; I have more than once seen Mr. Lennox late Mn.s James' stays. I have also seen him kiss her. I have also seen Mrs. James in the act of putting her stockings en while Mr. Lennox was in her cabin. It was a general re "auk on board the they were too intimate. "Major )(Kellen, at great length, gave evidence RS to the Intimacy of himself and Mrs. James' stee-father ' and of his eaters to protect her until she went to Edinburgh, but which offers she refused." The above is the material part of the evidence which Mr. Tuber, the proctor, adduced in sup:tort of the libel; the cause of the delay in instituting the proceedings arose from the great difficulty that existed in serving Mrs. James with the usual notice, and when served, and while the proceed ings were going toe, she was cited to appear. She was also called when the learned judge was called upon to give his judgment, but not putting in or making any answer the libel was admitted, and the divorce as prayed for granted in the usual terms.

Deo:ending into a room blow, where it. eou.se is marked by two ,moll cope logs in the brickwork, one on each side the fireplace, the mortar being driven out, i struck the inmate, a Mrs. Stott, who was cleaning the hearth stone at the time. For a moment she was stunned, bat quickly recovered her senses. Both her legs and arms were burned, an: her wed ing sing so discoletered and distorted, that it appeared as if it had been thrown is to a fire. Ole of her children was also severely and another slightly . burned. All three are now recovering. At the same time some pictures hanging over the fire plate were destroyed, and a large piece of alabaster, which stood upon the mantle.shelf, was hurled to the opposite side of the room. The roof of Mr. John Mather's house, in St. Mary's-terrace, was cluck. and so much injured, that a part of it has had to be removed. The lightning then entered through the ceiling of the drawing-room, and struck a mahogany table, at which Mr. and Mrs. Mather were sitting. They were both stunned by the suddenness of the occurrence, but sus tained no very materiel injury. The premises of Mr. Ilardcastle, thor-cloth msnof'acturer, Bigg Market, ens tomcod some damage ; and pert of one of the domes at the Cm ral Exchange was struck, and a portion of it thrown against the window of Mr. Wilson, draper. About half past two ,'clock the electric fluid entered the e.et chicacey of the house of Mrs. Hall, pu liens, Long Benton, and caused the instantaneous death of Mary, her daughter, and severely injure l the servant girl. The deceased and servant were together in the passage, and were thrown down. The de ceased was much burnt. She wore a steel busk, which ape' peered to have attracted the lightning. A picture frame in the upper room was shattered to pieces, and a quantity of bricks and plastering thrown down the chimney. The elm irk fluid also entered the roofs of two cottages on Mr. Wil son's estate at Forest-hall, and broke and injured various articles of furniture; fortunately the occupants were from home at the time. At Shankhouee Colliery, near Cramlington, six men had gone into the bottom of a large chimney for shelter, when the lightning came down the chimney and struck them.

NORTHUMBERLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S ANNUAL SHOW. gatZnriTngh,ttra:admaymwththie,Bozei. as one e j o ie i e e t tz g had ine i e t ds ann a t i r G l (From the Nercastle Courant. thee, neither the time nor experience of its members seem to have been misapplied; for this show, like its predecessors, not only bore unquestionable testimony to their untiring skill and industry, but to the signal success which has crowned the efforts of severed of the competitors. The show ground on this occasion was admirably se lected, on a spacious and level plot of ground, situated at the east end of Morpeth, the property of William Ord, Reg, DI P., of Whltfield-hall, while, immediately beyond, the rising grounds around formed, as it were, a beauteous and picturesque amphitheatre. The same order of an so effective on former exhibitions, was again adopted; the various cattle and horses occupying the extremes of the field ; while the sheep were placed in pars le the *smarm The rigs occupied a place—divided by a small mud wall, and heyond.,cluse to the shore of the Wane beck, called the Manners, where was also the show, of im plements, &c. Thus between there classes the visitors had a spacious promenade, in which they could satisfy' th eir taste and curiosity es to the merits of the respective departments of the show. At to tho show itself, it was not only the "source of the highest gratification to all interested in the seel• ty's welfare, but when the several clams of animals were pace d is suitable order for the inspection of the judges, they presented the finest and most numerous exhibition of their various kinds ever witnessed at any show of this society; while, as to those points of excellence, so well known to the eye of the breeder, they were pronounced so pettier to any thing ever exhibited by the society. Indeed, but one opinion prevailed throughout the day, viz , that few, if soy other agricultural mien's, with the same extent of means in its power, could equal, much less surpass, some of the classes of animals shown. Northumberland, therefore, not tidy maintains its rank with other ccuntiea of England, in keeping pace with the spirit of the age in the steady im provement of the pregnant and ever productive sal, but withal successfully adds its quota to 'the cattle on a thou sand hills," thereby administering to the necessities of our teeming population. With these preliminary remarks, we proceed to give a hut; sketch of the cattle, aid the first Man in order of worth was the short horn., which, besides including two or three prize animal*, wrs the theme of general praise. If anything lacked to make th's department all that could he wished, it was the Indere, in which the number was short, and the quality, as a whole, not up to the mark. The caws, however, were numerous, many of them pos sessing very superior points, and the judges, in giving their deciriens, had considerable difficulty, and ultimately give the palm to Mr. Wetherell, Kirkbr dee, near Darlington. Of the aged bulls, the full number, melte, were at their posts, and in this department, es in the cow, considerable difference of opioion existed, and Mr. Tod, of Elphinstone Tower, was declared the victor. He also succeeded in gain ing the first premium for the two-year old bulls Fur the one-year-old bulls, Mr. J. C. Lenglaads was first ; whilst No 6, the property of Mr. Cheep, Hawk-hill, was much commended and admired. The show of sheep was very large, and the quality and beauty of our mountain stock, the Cheviots, were extremely good; whilst the Leicester, were in every west equal to last year, and the only observable deficiency was a falling off in the black faced kind. A few fine Mouth Downs were exhi bited, and the extra ,inch of this clue contained some mi ous and interestieg s pecimen, of animals, In ass 3, the horses, there was a splend id show, and many of the animals called forth great pprase. The filet prise M awarded for Mold mares, for affricaltmei ireirVi su e t h e Pl' perty of Mr. H. Colheck, of Weetelade, was much adentreboi and the decision of the judges was highly commended. Among the two-yeateold mite, No. 1 was a very useful-like animal for the purposes intended ; but No. 2 appeared too heavy for the curiage. The other claws possessed many horses of rota promise and worth. Passing from this clam to another, viz. the pigs, it is but right to say, compering one department with the other, none displayed such striking marks of improve meet as this favourite and useful class of animals; and they refle:tid me et ere" t on those competitors who brought them to the &bow. The morning was so very hot and oppressive that the poor animals reamed, from their fatness, to suffer pr. atly, and their keepers, to alleviate their els•ress, oxasienally washed them with water. One of them, belonging to M.. Fenwick, in jured itself so in being taken from a cart, that it died' on the field. In another depstim• nt which smelly forms such an' essential to the successful operations of the husband man, viz , the agricultural implements, the display was every thing the most sanguine could expect, there b:ing nn less than 116 useful, many of them well known, ins elements, while several of the mans facture rs had effected in some derided points of improvement. Among other implements, Mr. Palmer, Stockton, exhihited he new northern swing plough, which combines the best Bart el the Scotch and Eerie& ploughs; the German onto wa.ber, and Cotiont's draining level, an invention likely to become of great use in successful draining; an improved tile making machine. Amongst Mr. Pelmet's implements were ten which had gained premiums at the Royal Agricul tural Society of England's show. Ma UM Gibson, of New castle, showed numerous implements, among whica 7. uo'ieed the tooled of a mowing machine, fur which they gained a premium •••:. ; also, a i:neff cutter, capftbM of *memo a ten of hay in an hour ; an itaprorel corn crush( r, capable of crushing any sort of grain, from beans to linseed ; a hay rake, with lever atteehed, for keeping the teeth down when working. Messrs. Wilkin and Dickman, Alnwick, also had a valuable assortment of article,. the most im proved of which was a knife cleaner, which has accomplished ct great desideratum in household l Moue, by enabling tae ter vent to clean six knives in the time usuilly employed in the cleaning of one. There was also a straw cutter: omit netting in various biZ's, bath in iron and galvanised iron ; Slyburn'e self-acting dynamometer, &e. &e. Mr. Wiliam Scott, of Belem West.house.

THE DINNER. This festival was held in a splendid and spacious broth erected adjacent to the chow ground. The ladies wee. a'so provided with ample refreshments, some of which were the gift of his Gr.‘ce the Duke of Northumberland. Precisely at !our .•'clock the noble chairman took his seat.

Glee and Cal Bell returned thank.. Also the t• Bithop and Clergy," which was ackuowledged by the Hon. and WT. F. Grey. The noble CHAIRMAN then oleerved that it was Lis duty to call their Atenti. n to a tout which in a most epeeist manner Tepees , nteet and coneentreed the feelings width had been it strnmental in bringing them together that day. The toast be allured to was, " Success to the Nerthumberlend Agricultural Society." (Applause.) He could assure them that it war en object of sine. re pleasure and pri le to himself that he had had the privilege of presiding at a meeting so satisfactory in all its departments tend so gratifying in all its eirentsaster cm He for one thought there woe no reason what ever nby the county of Northumberland should not repre sent itself in a thurishing agriculural society like the pre. sent; and he fully believed that he spoke the language of sober truth, when he said that a large portion of that ce.unty, from the Tweed to the slopes upon the base of the Cheviot, could be advantageously compared in enterfrise, and intelli gent and successful husbandry, with any other dietrict in the United Kingdom even though it were Lincolnshire, or the south, or the Lothians, or the north. (Loud applause.) The particular region to which be adverted bad lsng been known SS a sort of cleric ground from ancitmt ballads and I I. gei.dary stories, which t.ad often been the scene of border (cods ' and in some iestances felt the shock of inteurdional conflict, but if so, he we sure 'rue friend of hie speed-, and ev ty true disciple of elvdistatim wnsecevet o hers thought who Petted romans—would rejoice that this regi n. which in olden time was exposed to wholesale I marauders, tad undergone a delightful and benignant revolution. indeed, he might remark that there was tl . . . proper time and seastin forcve; thing. Fur he conceived that if in olden titre the county of Northumberland had turned cut such exhibition, of fat cattle, of comely sheep, bulls, cows, and heifers, and atom all, such a considerable bulk of rigs flesh—(Lagghter)—it would have been to their Scottish neighbours an object of incessant forays: end thus the famous Armstrong.; and Elliott' that cussed the borders would have been making continual iceursiune and havoc of pastures and sheepfolds to stock their own ba ne and by, en with. Instead of which they now gave ample proof that they wire able to stock them with animals of their own ' • fur it was rather a strange coincidence that a Scottish hull had conic.) off the first prize that day. (Loud laughter.) He bad also to rewark—and he did so with all good will—that even a tenant of his own, in Cumberland, had carried off the first prize for gimmerr. After showing the advantages to Ite derived from this measure, he urged upon every friend of agriculture to do his utmirt to promote the objects which the society had in view, not only in producing abundant crops, but also in supplying the bee: food to meet the wants of the people. His lordship concluded by nroposing—" Success to the Nothumb-rland Agricultural Society.' _ _ The CHAIRMAN ag.in begged to prorooe a toilet, that of the head of the present association, " The Duke of Northum berland," who, whilst ho exhibit"d to the world at large the character of an estimable nobleman, was also to them a most generous and munificent patron. (Cheers.)—" Hems of Oak." Sir M. W. MIME!, in proposing the next toast, said he had treat satiefaction in PO doing. They had already drunk the health of their noble patron, and, with sincere pleasure, he now proposed " Their noble President, E trl Grey." He was sure that it was the source of the greatest gratification to all to see the noble lord once more amongst them ; and he was corfident the toast would be responded to with the greatest enthusiasm. Earl Gime responded to the toast, and assured the meet ing that he had the erratest pleasure, after being detained by other duties, in assembling witn them once again at their annual meeting. He rejoiced also in the opportunity which was afforded him of mingling with some of his old friends, and those in whose welfare he took a desp interest. He next congratulated the society on its fl , eurishing condition, and he trusted that the nr.sgre se it had already made would be but a stimulus to future exi rtton. Thu., by promoting their own interest, they would confer lasting benefits on their fellow-men. Several other appr.priate toasts followed in quick sneer pion ; and at 8 o'clock the noble chairman and • large portion of the compsny withdrew.
