1)204) has constant access to you; but Mt, you only see t oe as a whispering, deceitful, hypocritical 'wretch." No words could give a better description of him than his own. The subsequent parts of the letter expressed the utmost ardour for her ; a bridegroom in the arms of Ins bride could not picture up love more passionately. In another letter from the dressing-box, he said, u I would s ooner forego the extatic pleasure of Saturday and Sun day (meaning his visits to the Grove Cottage) than the hope of going with you to the theatre." He said that her mother was the cause of the doubts which had been cast upon her reputation. " A woman's fame is like the bosom of a peaceful lake, let it be ever so calm a breath will disturb it." Tho defendant was indeed " a detestable fellow," according to his own words—he had cast a dark shade over the future lot of her life. He had done this for some few moments of extatic delight, which he knew would be short—for the seducer finds it but a short gratification, and turns away with disgust from the vic tim of his seduction. In another letter he alludes to the possession of her perkon in his own house—" It makes me distracted to steal to those embraces which shall in fu ture be mine—mine alone—and from which no --- r .--" But he would read no more. The Jury would find that the plaintiff and his wife were happy— happy in themselves--happy in the friendship of the defendant, who had professed a fervour for the husband which was romantic and sentimental. What case could call for more damages? The plaintiff was deceived and misled in every thing. On the other hand, what could palliate the guilt of the defendant? He had known the Lady from infancy—she was the friend of his father— the daughter of his father's friend, and the fond wife of a man for whom he had expressed the purest affec tion. He sought, by a base and hypocritical passion, to seduce her irora the arms of a tender husband, the extent of whose affliction had since affected his mind. But no damages could alleviate his loss—on returning to the bosom of his family, he found his fond wife se duced, and his infant daughter an orphan—all caused by the friend of his bosom. But the Jury would-ex press their deep sense the injury sustained by the amount of the damages. Alexander Indeman produced the marriage register. Joseph Lee, parish Clerk of St. Alban's, Wood -street, was at the marriage—knew Mrs. Peter from a child. Miss Peter, sister of the plaintiff, examined by Mr. BAOUGHAAI.—Her brother was a Lieutenant in the Navy at the time of his marriage—since commanded a mer chant vessel—plaintiff's family lived at Devises. In 1818 witness last saw them at Helston, in Cornwall— her brother came there to place his wife under his father's protection on his going to South America—wit ness was in company with them every day—she accom panied witness afterwards into Wales, and then she went to reside and 4e-in at her father's, in London—they ap peared to live on the most affectionate terms--witness and she corresponded—the produced letters are Mrs. Peter's hand-writing. Captain Wright went out to Buenos Aryes in the ship commanded by the plaintiff; Mrs. Peter went with her husband; they seemed very much attached; never saw married people live more affectionately together. Wm. Crozier was mate of the brig Indian; Captain and Mrs. Flier were at Valparaiso, from whence wit ness came passenger with them to Rio Janeiro ; witness was forty or fifty days on board with them. The In dian was sold, and they came home in the Lord Cath cart together. It was impossible any couple could live more affectionately together; saw them at Mr. Han cock's, in Bread -street, London ; also at Mr. Beckwith's, the Lady's father, living on the same terms. Crou-examined by the Arrouisr-GarizaAa—Mr. Beckwith has ass and daughters besides ; did not know of any q uarrel, or of pilaff's leavin g his wife at Valparaiso ; does not know of their laying had a quarrel since in London, but hu heard as much. By Mr. BROUGHAM—There was some quarrel be tween him and the Governor of Valparaiso; remem bered seeing Mrs. Peter in Wood-street, after this affair; when she mentioned that Peter had left her, witness said to her " never snind; he'll come back to the cottage." Mr. Heise, Sulicitor, of St. Ives—Knew the Rev. Mr. Peter, Minister of that place,plaintiff's father ; also knew Mrs. Peter; whilst living there, she was received into the first families ; saw nothing incorrect in her conduct. Mr. George Dickson lived at Buenos Ayres—Plain tiff and wife lived with witness there, and seemed per fectly happy. Mr. Hatfield, auctioneer at Truro, knew plaintiff's father, who died in 1819, when plaintiff came down as his father's executor, and staid there about two months ; iniess sold his father's effects. Mr. John Joseph Killey was executor of defendant's uncle; is a wholesale grocer; always considered him in good circumstances ; his uncle left him 16,0001. besides a fourth of the residue when his younger brother comes of age (now fifteen); that will amount to 5,0001. more; the rent of the landed estate, which he takes the whole of, amounts to 8401. a year ; he succeeded his father as partner in the wholesale grocery business, which is very extensive. Being shewn several letters, proved plain tiff's hand-writing ; Mr. Hancock's age is about twenty even or twenty-eight.—Letters from Mrs. Peter to her husband, the first announcing the birth of a son, were here red, couched in terms of great affection. Mr. SCASLETT observed, the license described Mrs. Peter as a minor. Mks Peter re-examined by Mr. Seas-sort to the band-writing of .1!1.

Reexamined by Mr. Seas:me—When she rode out with de tenant her little girl went with them—they used frequently to be seen sitting on the sofa together alone in the room. Harriet Harmond, servant to Mrs. Hancock, of Bread street-hill—Mr. and Mrs. Peter were there; they had a bed-room; witness used to take a dressing-case, by directions of Mr. Hancock, to and from Captain Peter's room to Mr. Hancock's ; witness has remarked that Captain Peter made no use of it, he said that Captain Peter had the key of it ; remembers Captain Peter coming into the room when witness and another were making his bed, about nine or ten o'clock, when he took some keys and unlocked a little trunk of his wife's, in which he found some letters; that note is like the hand writing of G. Coleman, a porter in Hancuck's house, whom his master transported for theft ; has seen defen dant come out of Mrs. Peter's room during the plain tiff's absence, between nine and eleven in the morning, which struck witness as remarkable, and she mentioned it to her female fellow.servants. When Captain Peter took the letters from his wife's trunk, he seemed to be in great trouble; he never returned to Hancock's holm After that morning; remembers the Copelands coming to a dance at defendant's house during the Peters' visit; Mrs. Peter danced with Hancock; old Mrs. Hancock' is a widow; Mrs. Balls also came there with her daughter; Mrs. Peter's child slept with her in the same bed ; also when her husband was at home. By the Jury.—The first child died, this was the youngest; wit ness's sister is still in the service of Mrs. Hancock ; soon after the discovery Hancock went to Pads. Mrs. Morris assisted at Hancock's to make the beds ; remembers Peter coming into his wife's room with his hand pressed to his forehead ; saw him unlock the box and take some papers out in great agitation.—CLetters from defendant to Mrs. Peter were here put in and read.)

If I cannot bear to be parted from you for a day, bow shall I endure life when you go to blotilsey ? Your love has granted me everything. A woman's fame is like the bosom of a tranquil lake—the least breeds will disturb it. You see what a base hypo crite I am ; but I have loved you fervently, with a love only the grave can terminate or disturb. It makes me distracted when I think you have a husband. Heaven bless you, my beloved Jane— Goo bless you, my dear.—Your constant and ectionate friend, " JOHN." Another : a You cannot conceive my disappointment when I open the box and find no letter from you." further reading of these letters was so fulsome and dis gusting we are obliged to drop the pen.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendant, whose unhappy conduct he did not mean to palliate. His Learned Friend (Mr. Scarlett) had the cards in his own hand. He had produced many wit nesses to substantiate his case, but had only brought forward one witness belonging to the family, who had seen the parties together for one day. He had produced evidence of their being extremely happy at home and abroad—in England, in Buenos Ayres, and Valparaiso; but he had not dared to bring forward any members of the family, because, on their cross-gamination, things would come out which would throw great doubts on the Lady's happiness with het husband. The Jury had been told, that if Mr. Hancock was so disposed, he might have married Miss Beckwith ; but at that time, the time of her marriage, Mr. H. was only twenty years of age. After hit marriage the lady had gone abroad, and it, was only on her return that Mr. Hancock's early affec-1 tion was renewed. They lived together with rest in timacy during Mr. Peter's absence in Cornwall, and while his wife resided is London. The Jury would find that at Moulsey, in London, and elsewhere Mr. Peter was absent in the garden an d the fi elds, while his wife was reclining on the sofa with Mr. Hancock, all wi th her husband s knowledge. He left them amusing them eelveson sofas, reading novels, romances, and love-poetry. SCAILLST2....That is all mere supposition. The ATTORNEY-GINIRAL—His Learned Friend said it was not true that they read romances; but did the Jury think they were reading sermons?—(Loud laughter.) The defendant's letters confirmed it. To be placed at the side of a beautiful young woman on a sofa, was a dangerous trial for a Gentleman's virtue. It would be idle to deny that the act of adultery had taken place. But admitting that, there was much to be allowed for the defendant, who had been attached to the Lady from his boyish years, and would have married her but for his uncle, and his own minority. Only four letters from the Lady to her husband had been produced. Surely she had written many more ; but it had not been deemed advisable to produce them, as they would shew a change of feeling. In a short time her husband's af fections cooled, and it was not strange that the kindness of her early loier should not be unwelcome to her. The LORD CHIRP Juarica summed up. There was so doubt of a criminal connection between the defen dant and Mrs. Peter ; it remained for the Jury to say what damages should be given—reasonable and tem perate damages they ought to give, considering all the circumstances of the case. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £5,000 This announcement was received with dearonstrations of joy, and some chipping was heard, which the Judge strongly reprobated. Letters have been received from Batavia, dated the 26th of March. They communicate intelligence of considerable importance. The duties on British manu factures had been raised in Batavia from six to thirty five per cent. This change had produced a great sen sation among the merchants. Accounts had been re ceivedrespecting Mr. Thornton, the English merchant, taken by the pirates; be was still detained at Ritti (Su matra), and they refused to let him depart under the enormous ransom of 40,000 dollars, about 8,6001. Malacca has been declared a free port. Private letters from Lima, up to the 10th of March, represent that city to be in a very disturbed state. Pre•, vious to the arrival of the Spaniards in the city, nothing' was seen but robbery and bloodshed; but on their en trance tranquillity was, in some measure, restored. The work of purification at the Millbank Peniten tiary being completed, it will be re-opened on Monday next, and there is no doubt it will soon have an abund ance of inmates.

Jones flitch was indicted for a burglary In the dwel ling-house of Thomas Pratt, at Sawbadgeworth, in the night of the Ist of April, and stealing four watches, twenty-eight thimbles,and various articles of plate to the amount of 201. A witness proved that the prisoner had been seen lurking near the prosetutor's house, about nice in the evening before the robbery. The prisoner now said, in his defence, that be had seen a man drop the boodle, and he picked it up, not knowing its cootents.— The Jury, under th e L earne d J u d ges di rect i ons, f oun d t h e pr i soner Gatilky—Deeth. OXFORD, JULY 28. This afternoon, Mr. Justice PARK arrived in this city, from Abingdon, and instantly proceeded with the High Sheriff, &c. to the Court, and opened his Majesty's Com mission. The Judges will go to Church to-morrow morning, and the business of the Assize will after wards commence. BUCKINGHAM, JULY 28. John Norris Andrews, a publican, re4ding at Olney, was indicted for having, on the 4th of November,lB22, administered certain drugs to Frances Mary Wells, with intention to procure abortion. F. M. Wells examined—She had gone to the pri soner's during the illness of her aunt, who lived with the prisoner, which was in 1821, and afterwards staid with. him as a servant, but without receiving wages ; she had intercourse with the prisoner for the first time in June, 1822; she became pregnant in August, and communi cated that fact to the prisoner in two months after wards; he expressed a hope that such was not the fact, and asked her to take some drugs to get rid of the child; she consented, and fetched some (which she spe cified), to procure abortion ; she had done so at the pri soner's desire ; in the first instance she succeeded ; she afterwards had another intercourse with the prisoner, and again became pregnant; she was delivered of the child, for the support of which prisoner had allowed her ss. a week ; that allowance had since been disconti nued. She went to a Magistrate to swear the child to the prisoner, and she had then stated the circumstance of her former pregnancy, and of the means taken to procure abortion. _ - Cress-examined—She had never exposed her person to any man, nor had intercourse with any other man. A little boy in the defendant's service corroborated her testimony as to the purchase of the drugs. The prisoner made no defence, but called the girl's uncle, who deposed that he would not believe the gill on her oath. Other witnesses were called to discredit the girl's tes timony, and to shew that her conduct was lewd and dis solute in the extreme. For this purpose they stated a number of instances of gross depravity, which they de scribed as having been committed in concert with them, and which were such as to disgrace themselves most completely.—Two Medical Gentlemen were also put into the box, one of whom stated, that he attended the girl on the 2d of August, 1822, when she exhibited every symptom of having previously procured an abortion. Several witnesses were called to give evidence as to the prisoner's character, and they stated generally that he was seriously disposed in his character, that he had studied the classics, with the intention of taking orders, and that he had been accustomed to keep company with the young clergymen of the [dace. The LORD Cum, BARON summed up.—The only question, therefore, for the Jury, was to say whether they thought that evidence was sufficient to destroy their belief in the girl Wells's testimony. His Lordship then read over to the Jury, the evidence produced both for the prosecution and defence ; and commented with great severity on the testimony of the witnesses who had deposed to the various acts of lewdness and de pravity committed by them and the girl in concert together. He had never heard such base and depraved conduct so willingly and shamelessly avowed in a Court of Justice ; but still that of itself was not sufficient to ' destroy the credit of their testimony, although It clearly Proved them to be most infamous and profligate wretches. With respect to the evidence of the prisoner's general character, it was always held by the Judges to be no answer to a clear and positive charge, fully made out by credible testimony. However, when the evidence of the charge was doubtful—when the minds of the Jury hung in suspense as to the proof of the alleged crime, then the testimony of his general character, if good, was properly taken into consideration, upon the question of probability. Upon the whole, therefore, the Jury would say whether they believed the testimony of the girl Wells; and as their opinion was upon that point, so would they find their verdict. _ _ The Jury retired for nearly an hour, and then returned a •er dict of Guilty. The Loan Cum Boum sentenced the prisoner to one year's im prisonment, and to pay a fine of £lOO, and to be further imprisoned till that fine was paid. ABINGDON, JULY se. John Cases and John Nash, two young men of decent appearance, were indicted for taking by force 2s. from Martha Hopkins, on the highway, on Saturday last. Martha Hopkins, the prosecutrix, a girl of 19 or 20 years of age, told her own story. On Saturday last, she wen; to Oxford from Abingdon, where she lived, and returned about eleven in the morning. The two pri soners, one of whom, Casey, had a wooden leg, followed her out of Oxford along the read. She turned to cross the fields by a footpath, and they followed her, and made overtures to her to walk with them. She refused, however ; but they still pursued her ; overtook her; threw her into a ditch, and one of them took indecent liberties with her, which she resisted. In the struggle they took away her pocket, which contained two -shil lings ; she regained the pocket ; but they laughed at her, and kept the money. One of them took ott a pen knife, with which he threatened to cut her arm off, and actually scratched her hand. At last, an old man came up, and she ran off to Abingdon. This witness under went a long cross-examination from Mr. SHEPHERD, William Hunt said, he saw the prisoners walk from Oxford with the woman. He afterwards heard her cry out, and she complained to him that they had treated her James Fletcher said, the field where the transaction occurred belonged to his uncle. He saw Casey eater, it with the woman, and afterwards asked for a recom pense for the trespass on his uncle's land. Casey pulled out a heap of sovereigns, and said the woman had robbed him of one of them. He accordingly charged the woman with the robbery, which she dented with tears, and said she would have the men taken up for ill usage. The prisoners severally made long addresses to the Jury, in which they detailed the circumstances of the case in a manner unfit for the public eye. They asserted that the woman was voluntarily in their company, and had snatched a sovereign from Casey, which he regained after it fell to the ground. Their statements gave a sew colour to the facts stated by the prosecutrix, and cor responded very exactly with the circumstances deposed to by the other xritiesses. Mr. Samna said he had several whassisi to mil, if Jury k necessary to ►ear him The Jury said it was unnecessary, and immediately teemed a verdict of Not Peaty. This case terminated the Amities.

ROBERT JOIINSOR. 'This was an indictment consisting of two omits, the one charging the defendant with a violent assault upon the person of Mary Sivins, with intent to commit a rape. The other count charged him simply with the assault. Mr. N. C.CLARK addressed the Jury, and stated, that the prosecutrix was a girl about nineteen years of age, the daughter of a cottager residing at Claycoton, in Northamptonshire ; the - defendant was a lad of the same class of life, aged about 17, and residing In the adjoining parish. The Jury would find, that on the 15th of April last, the prosecutrix was employed in a field or close, collecting scraps of wool drop. ped at that time of the year by the sheep, before they are sheared; the prisoner was then out of em ploy, and was loitering about the fields ; he approached the prosecutrix, and adirised her to go and look for wool in a pen, which was at the corner of the field. —The prosecutrix proceeded in the direction which the prisoner had pointed out, but turning round, she found that he was following her ; he then taxed her with having circulated reports injurious to his character—an accusation which she strenuously denied, but which he continued to urge against her in the most -positive manner; at length he laid hold of her, and threw her down, and attempted a violation of her pet son—an attempt in which he would, in all probability, have succeeded, but for the approach of some person passing through the close. The gill, immediately he had released her, flew home, and rel-"ed to her mother and sister the brutal outrage to which she had been so unhappily exposed. On the next day the paretic ac companied her daughter to a neighbouring Magistrate, and eventually the prisoner was committed to take his trial for the offence. Upon inquiry, it appeared that the offence had not proceeded so far. This apparent discrepancy could be easily accounted for by the youth and inexperience of the prosecutrix, which little enabled her, in a moment of alarm and trepidation, to make any accurate distinction between the attempt and the actual commission of the crime. Mary Sivins, the prosecutria, was then called and swerno—She is a girl of vary ordinary appearance, and of rather a forbidding as pect. Her evidence confirmed the opening speech of the Learned Counsel. Mr. Gomm:nue addressed the Jury for the prisoner, turd com mented on the improbability of the evidence. The Learned Judge Ho&aovu amused up. and the Jury, after a short consultation, foundthe prisoner guilty of only the assauk, and the Judge sentenced hint to one year's imprisonment, and us be pri vately whipped. _ SPORTING INFELLMENcE.
