Lady Erskine, widow of the late Lord Erskine, arising out of the following circumstances:— The late Lard Erskine, before his marriage to Lady Erskine by the laws of Scotland, had settled on her, by an ante-nuptial contract, an annuity of three hun dred pOunds a year, chargeable on his estates in England: After the termination of the proceedings against her Ladyship, in the Ecclesiastical Court, for the dissolution of the marriage, on the ground of adultery, his Lordship declared his conviction of her innocence, l and confirmed to her the ante-nuptial grant of 3001. a year. His Lordship died in November, 1823, leaving some landed property in the county of Sussex, charge. able with debts. In 1825, a deed was executed by trus tees, which contracted, that this estate should be sold fdr the benefit of t! e creditors, the ultimate trust to be in favour of the pre.ent Lord Erskine. The estate was accordingly sold, and produced a sum exceeding ten th , usand pounds. Mr. Cooper, on behalf of Lady Erskine, urged, that her Ladyship had a claim on this sum, for the payment of her annuity of 300 i. and prayed that it might be transferred from the Bank of England, where it stood in the name of certain trustees, to the Court's possession. _ His lionoue expressed a wish to know the nature of the ante nuptial contract between Lord and Lady Erskine. Itlr. Covina read the document, a short agreement, apparently writteq by the Lady, dated Gretna Gieen, and setting forth, that, whet eas, Thomas Lord Erskine, of Duna - lies, Scotland, had agreed to many her by the laws of Scotland, she, the future Lady Erskine, in consi deration theteof, renounced all claims of dower and legerdin on his Lordship's estates, excepting the charge of SOW. a year, which had been secured to her by the ante-nupt;al contract. The Learned Gentleman added, that the ptincipal point in the case was a claim of priority on the fund between her Ladyship and the late Lord Etskine's creditors, a question which the trustees did not think they had authority to decide between the partie'. The object of his application was, that this trust fund may be brought into Court.— Motion granted. IMAMS a. LOWS MELBOURNE, S. WOMBWELL AND OVM. This mi tion WAS grounded on the following facts : Lord Palconberg left, by his will, a life interest, under trust in certain lands, to his daughter, Lidy Charlotte, who subsequently became the wife to the plaintiff, Mr. Bellassis. Lord Melbourne and Sir George Wombwell (the latter the husband of Lord Falconberg's other daughter) were the trustees. The land, which was chargeable with certain debts and legacies also, was sold, tithe-free, by the trustees, for the sum of 29,0004' of which 3,6001. was reserved to the purchaser, a Mr. Crompton, as a stew ity against certain claims for tithe, set up by the Vicar of Leith. The Vicar's claim for tithes was tried in the Court of Exchequer, and decided to be illegal ; but in the course of the proceedings, tLe defendant, in that cause, produced evidence. which not only negatived the Vicar of Leith's claim, but unluckily went farther, namely, to afford ground to Trinity Col lege, Cambridge, to set up a claim on their own behalf, to the property in question. This claim is yet pending. Lady Charlotte Bellassis died in 1825, having never drawn her part of the dividend of the fund. Mr. SUGDZN this day moved, on the part of Mr. Bel lassis, for an order, that 5p0(1. of the trust fund, being the amount of the accumulated dividends due to his late wile, Lady Charlotte, should be paid over to his client by the trustees. Mr. Rumen, on the part of the purchaser, Mr. Crompton, opposed the motion, on the ground that, as his client had bought the lands tithe free, he was still entitled to bold part of the purchase money as a se curity against the claim set up by Trinity College, Cambridge. His 10119011111 decided, that the purchaser was not, in general equity, entitled to such indemnity against contingent claims, and ordered the money to be paid into Comm COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Neviatsta 28. ma MP s. =NASD BLEMIZIUSASSETT The rule which had been obtained in this case, calling upon the defendant, who is the Editor and Proprietor of the Palladium Sunday Newspaper, to chew cause why a criminal information should not be sled against, him for baring published in the said Newspaper a libel upon Lord W.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 211. MOWN' Y. TASMAN. _ The defendant in this case is the Proprietor of the Palladium, and made, on affidavit, in person, a nearly similar application to that of yesterday, in the case of Prosser v. Fairman, viz. to have judgment in neat don stayed, alleging that he had received no value for the bill of exchange on which the action was brought. He also presented an affidavit, accusing his late attor neys Mr. Wray, of negligence, &c. as a rejoinder to that produced by that Gentleman yesterday. The Cover refused to stay judgment, on the same grounds as they did in the case of yesterday, and ob- served, with respect to the affidavit against Mr. Wray, that no accusation of the kind against attorneys' could be brought forward on the last day of Term. COURT OF EXCHEQUER,' N0v.28. THE LINO AGAINST Pl7O. In this case, judgment non ohstante veredide had yes terday been given for the Crown. This evening, as the Court was about to rise, Mr. PATTISON moved, that execution may be stayed. The motion was grounded on an affidavit of Mr. Peto, in which he stated, that there was due to him by the Commissioners of the Revenue, a balance of between 50 and 60,000!!s--that his capital was engaged in carrying on many public. works of great importance—that if an extent were levied upon him immediately, he must be ruined, and a vast number of men of all the different occupations connected with building thrown out of employment. He stated that upon repeated consultations with Mr. Grey, his solicitor, that Gentleman had invariably ad vised him to obey the directions of the surveyor—that Mr. Laing, the surveyor, had upon one occasion threat ened, that if his directions were not complied with, he would immediately stop the works—that he, Peto, re ceived orders from the Committee of Taste, which were transmitted through the surveyor, and that however he may have erred in judgment, there was not the slightest ground to suppose any corrupt collusion between him and the surveyor. On all these grounds he hoped the Court would grant an order to stay the execution on the judgment delivered yesterday. The A27OIIIMY Ginizaat., who was present in the Court when the motion was made, said, that he was taken by surprise, that no notice of such motion had been given. Mr. Baron GARROW, who'had, in the previous part of the proceeding,..most humanely interp o sed with the Attorney General on the part of the defendant, here observed, that his own caprrience in similar cases war ranted him io saying, that Mr. Peto, in throwing him. self on the mercy of the Crown, had every reason-to hope, that he would receive a merciful treatment at the hands of the Law Officers of the Crown. Here the matter rested. TUC KING V. simmer. An information had in this case been filed against the defendant under an Act of the Gth of his late Majesty, concluding for the statutory penilty of 1001. for irrs= porting, or causal' to be imported, certain contraband goods. Verdict for the Crown. Mr. Parrisarr now moved the Court' in arrest of judgment, on the ground that the ttatutt mentioned only the actual importer, and said nothing about the causing to be imported. Inpniting and causing to be imported might be quite distinct offences ; and, no coastal, whether the vet diet of the Jury might not have applied to the causing to be imported, an offence with which the Act on which the information WAS founded had nothing to do. The Arroaranr G argued, that the words" causing to be imported," were mere surplusage, and meant the same thing as actually importing. The Courts', as the point was of considerable importance, took time to consider its judgment. COURT OF ARCHES, Nov. 23. AMIEKS V. •MILNL Dr.I.USHINGTON said this suit was promoted by Lady Amiens against Lord A miens, on the ground of adultery. The marriage between the parties WAS said to have taken place at Gretna Green, and was dehied by Lord Amiens, The heating of the cause stood for this day, and he applied that it might be allowed to stand over till the by•day. Lady Amiens was now in a state of ill health, and if her Ladyship should unfortunately die before the marriage was proved in the cause, the children would be illegitimate. Her Ladyship was now ready to put in , proof of the marriage, and which was the more important as the issue were numerous, and the eldest son was the heir to .the title and estates of Lord Aldborough. Sir Joust Nsotot, inquired if any appearance bad been entered ? Dr. Lusumwrox said that Lord Amiens did appear, but did not I take copies of the papers. Lord Amiens had eloped with a Mrs. Newcomb, and denied his marriage with Lady Amiens. Sir JOHN Nicnot., as there was no opposition to it, granted the application. WPIIIIRATH IP. WitalfltATlßl. Dr. JENNIR stated, that this was an appeal on behalf i d the Marchioness of Westineath against the decree of the Consistorial Court pronounced in favour of the Marquis of Westmeath, for restitution of conjugal rights, and against the articles exhibited by the Mar chioness against the Marquis for cruelty and adultery. The Learned Gentleman said that no new facts had occurred since the decree had been pronounced in the Consistorial Court during the last Easter Term. The Marchioness now appealed against that judgment. The pleadings which were read in the cause in the Court below were put in here, and the several allegations or articles of cruelty and adultery were read at length, as were also the pleas or replies of the Marquis,, de nying the allegations. The recorded conviction of Anne Connell and two others, at the Contmission in Dublin, for a conspiracy against the Marquis, and also for perjury, was put in. The judgment of the Consisto rial Court was put in, and the decree for the restitution of conjugal rights. The Learned Gentleman observed that the Court would perceive the extreme length of the proceedings, and he should therefore content himself by stating that he believed the ientence of the Court below to be well founded. From all the evidence that bad been taken, he could see no grounds for the charge of cruelty. Some of the witnesses in support of the allegations of the Marchioness were convicted (la con spit acy against the Marquis, as appeared by the recorded conviction put in. Dr. LUSHINOTON, for the Marchioness of Westmeath, said he should content himtelf with stating the general terms of the defence. The Marquis of Westmeath sought a restitution of conjugal rights, he having exe cuted a deed of separation, which he now sought to vitiate by compelling his wife to return and live with hint. He was aware chit the deed of separation would not avail in bar of restitution of conjugal rights; recourse should be had to other means: He should insist on the allegations of adultery against the Marquis with two individuals only. Anne Connell 's case should not be pressed at all, on account of the suspicion at tached to her evidence by the prosecution. The alle gations respecting the adultery with Jane Smith and Mary would be relied on. The Court below in giving its judgment said, if the Marchioness of West meath had exhibited her allegations in a reasonable time after the acts of cruelty had been committed, she would then have been entitled to a divorce ; but instead of doing so she resorted to a separation ; and after she had separated, she returned and lived with him again. The facts laid in the allegations were not deemed suffi cient to be held as a renewal of the cruelty complained of, and which be (Dr. Lushington) considered - as the main point in the case. Not only wet e the original acts of cruelty committed as alleged, but they continued to be committed on so many occasions aftrr, that it was impossible to have a doubt upon the subject. At the final separation the Marquis of Westmeath had strongly urged that the unfortunate differences which had sub sisted between him and his Lady should be concealed, and upon no other grounds than to save the feelings of two noble families concerned. The Court would find the conduct of the Marquis to be ♦iolent and outrageous, and he had nb hesitation in saying that the Marchioness was compelled to resort to a complete separation. They should be enabled to chew intermediate acts of cruelty ; and should not now go intofurtber particulars, bat rely on the uncontradicteJ evidence of several witnesses, and the specific admissions of the Marquis of Westmeath himself. The depositions of Frances Elizabeth Wood, the go veriest, Sarah Makenzie, Mary Wetherell, the Rev.W. Stephens Clerk, tutor in the family, Mary Anne Brady, Edward Bennett, and some others, were read at length by Dr. Phillimore and Dr. Addams. The depositi ons of Anne Connell, Monaghan, and Patrick Farley, were not read, as these persons had been con victed of a conspiracy against the Marquis ofWestmeath. Dr. JENNICR said this conspiracy was the most impor tant part of the proceedings, and one of the most atro cious attempts ever made against any individual, hold ing even the lowest rank in society. Dr. Pm:axons expressed himself in the strongest terms in con demnation of this foul conspiracy. The depositions continued to be read during the remainder of the day, but they were not concluded at the ri.iug of the Court, and Sir Jottn Nscuot. ordered the further hearing to stand over till the next Court day. t THE TWO HOUSES OF CONVOCATION. Before the Levee, .onnrmday, the two Houses of Convocation, who had come in procession from the Jerusalem Chamber, were received by his Majesty, seated on his Throne, and surrounded by the Great Officers of State. The Archbishop of Canterbury,with the Dean of Peterborough, Prolocutor of the Lower House, on his left hand, advanced to the foot of the Throne, and read the Address voted by the two Houses, which was received by his Majesty with gracious ex pressions of satisfaction. The King's reply contained assurances of continued favour and protection to the Church of England. The Members of the Upper House present were— the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Exeter, and Llandaff;—of the Lower• House, the Dean of Peterborough, Archdeacon Pett, Rev. Dr. Goode- nough, Rev. v . D'Oyley, Rev. Dr. Richards, Rev. Mr. Lonsdale, Rev. Mr. Poole, and others. Afterwards the two Houses met at the Jerusalem Chamber, where the King's Answer to their Address was read to them by the Archbishop, and the Session was adjourned to the 44. h day of June next. .._ The following is a copy of the Address, and of his Majesty's Answer : " We your Majesty's dutiful subjeits, tint Archbishop and Bishops, and Clergy of the province of Canterbury, in Convocation assembled, humbly offer to your Majesty the assurance of our at tachment and inviolable fidelity to your Majesty's person and Go. " The protection which your Majesty has at all times extended to the United Church of England and Ireland, demands our sincerest and warmest acknowledgments. • " Grateful for the past, we humbly implore a continuance of the Same protecting power; for, assuredly, Sir, there never was, a period in the History of our Reformed Church, that more urgently required it : whether we direct our attention to the avowed enemies of Christianity, or to those who, professing the faith of Cows, sedulously labour to disparage and degrade the Church, of which your Majesty, under GOD, it the Head, and which, we confidently maintain, is formed upon the model of the earliest and purest ages of Christianity. " It is our . cluty, Sir, to vindicate the establishment in the spirit by which it professes to be governed, with temper, moderation, and firmness, seeking to conciliate those who may be opposed to us, not to exasperate them; to convince, not boastfully to triumph over them. But, Sir, with this understanding of our duty, we canisot dissemble to your Majesty the just apprehensions we enter tain of the efforts that are now making , to arrive at authority and power in the State, dangerous to the existence of the Protestant Constitution of the country, and leading directly to religious dit tutbance, animosity, and contention. " But, Sir, whatever be the danger to which the Established Chinch may be exposed, we have full confidence in your Majesty's protection, and in the wisdom, discretion, and firmness, of your Parliament. " We pray GOD to bless and protect your Majesty." " My Loam, ANS sat fWSSOPTHI CLINGY, " I receive with great satisfaction this loyal and dutiful Address. " The renewed assurances of your affectionate attachment to my person and Government are most acceptable to me. " I rely, with the utmost confidence, upon your zealous exec dons to promote true piety and virtue—to reclaim those who are in error by the force of Divine truth—and to uphold and extend among my people the preference which is so justly due to the pure doctrine and service of our Established Church. " That Church has every claim to my constant support and protection. " I will watch over its Interests with unwearied solicitude, and confidently trust that I shall be enabled, by the blessing of Divine Paovtosser, to maintain it in the fun possession of every legiti- Mate privilege." Yesterday morning7WElraw, an engraver, resi ding in Fleet -street, while standing at the corner of the Old Bailey, in Ludgate-hill, had his pockets rifled, and a bag containing twenty sovereigns, together with a va luable miniature painting, stolen therefrom; so skilfully light-fingered was the thief or thieves, that Mr. P. did aot discover his loss till his return home. .

They de:aioed the chain, and positively refilled either to give it up, to cut it, or return him the money. The pawnbroker's sbopman stated, that the trade generally h a d latterly been extensively defrauded by means of counterfeit 0,1 chains, which were so well gilt u to stand the common teat of aqu a fortis. There were several circumstances of suspicion to lead then, to believe that this was a counterfeit article. The complainant ray, a fictitious name and address, and refused to state anything abed: himself; and when an officer was threatened to be sent for he m his escape. They (the pawnbrokets) did not chose to take themselves the risk of cutting the chain, which they were ready to give up ; without, however, yet admitting it to he gold. 'The Lotto Maroa thought the circumstance of the cornp!ait4ti refusing to teU who and what he was, a sufficient justification to the pawnbroker (who was bound by law to he cautious of ash* he too k in pledge, and from whom) detaining the chain. He disnlissed the complaint. The pawnbroker said he did not wish to keep the chain, and n the complainant appeared. to be a tradesman, returned it to hint. BO W-STREET. Two young men, named Mortimer and Ikto Fowl, known dust. tens, were charged with rolabing a person named Alban Westen, of a gold watch and seals.—The pri,oners met with the prosecut.v drunk, in Covent-garden Market, and inveigled him to a pbblic. house, and there robbed him of his watch, atzd ran of to a neigh. bouring barber's shop. They were pursued, and whtA taxed with the robbery denied it; but Mortimer was seen to take the watch from his pocket, and bang it on the back of one of the barber's chairs.—They were fully committed fur trial. M ARLBOROUGH-STREET. Jvhn Ind was charged, under Mr. Martin'i Act, with beating a sheep, on the 13th of November, cruelly and wanton l y; the eye of the animal was beaten out of the socket. The fellow is a journeyman drover to a man named Startle, who holds reverel badges, a ar. cumstance which renders the apprehension of offenders very dila. cult. The fact of beating the sheep was fully proved, with the addition, that Ind struck sevetal bystanders for reproving him. Mr. Commts.—Why du drovers and butchers strike sheep on the head in preference to any other pait ? A Butcher's Boy.— Why,Sir, if they hits him on the leg or loin it makes a bruise and spoils the meat, so they hits them on the scrag. Startle, the Drover.—l have no doubt it was an accident; I never struck a sheep on the eye but by accident. Mr. CONANT —Would you turn off a man for striking a sheep oa the shou:der or loin ? Starkie.—Of course, if he struck a sheep there. Mr. Corm Six said the masters seemed to encourage their servants to strike the animals on the head ; be should therefore mai as example of the prisoner. The fine was not less than 10s. nor more than 51.; as the case was an atrocious one, he should convict him io 34 The prisoner being unable to pay,was committed for two months, A woman named Matilda law, alias Webb, who keeps an infa. mous brothel in Little Dean -street, Soho, to which house infants of the most tender age are seduced and debauched, was brougft before the Magistrate under a Bench warrant, a bill of indictment having been found against her at the instance of the parish of St. Anne, antinke having absconded.

She also said that a Captain Samuel Browne, of the Royal N a vy, wh o was t h e principal person who frequented her house with little girls of the most tender age, had given Mr. Woolly 200 guineas to get the witnesseaznit of the way in a prosecution going on against Browne, and this she said Woolly himself bad told her, and that Captaid Browne had also undertaken to pay all the forfeited recognizancet, Ste. Sbe also said, that the house in question did not belong to her; but to a Mrs. Green, who put her in there chiely to accommodate Captain Browne, as he would not be permitted to carry on his Frac. riots any Where else with young children.

A young fashionably dressed man, named J's Rauh, was charged with embezzling IC9 10s. the property of Messrs. Davy, Sawyers and Co. The prisoner was clerk to the prosecutors, and the charge was, that he had n o t g i ven t h em cre di t i n the ook, which was produced in Court, for the above sum, received on their account in September last. His accounts had been. balanced 18 times from the time the sum was received. Mr. Philips, who made the payment, proved the prisoner's having called on him on the 27th September, and his receiving an account of Messrs. Davy for BC9 10s. He produced the receipt. The prisoner, who was extremely agitated, hoped he would not be committed to the common gaol ; but was told by the Magistrate that he had ao discretion. Ile was, however, allowed to go thither in a coach. He was a very gentlemanly looking young man, and dressed, not only well, but splendidly. Sunday night one of the watchmen, in Surrey New-road, on re turning from calling the hour, found his box in possession of a female who refused to give it up, without, however, utteting a word. Sbe was, by the assistance of another watchman, ejected, and carried to the watchbouse, where she was as stubbor n ly Aleut as in the box. By the advice f a sinew she was removed to the workhouse, where she pemevered in the same strange, obdurate be haviour. Yesterday afternoon her weakness was extreme and she was pronounced to be in a dying state. She Is rather good looking, apparently about 19 years of age; had on a eottage-shaped - bonnet, a red shawl, and a blue cotton gown. No one about the workhouse or watehhouse knew any thing about her.
