REFLECTIONS. When you are disposed to be vain of your mental acquirements, look up to those who are more accomplished than yourself, that you may be fired with emulation ; but when you feel dissatisfied with your circumstances, look down on those beneath you, that you may learn contentment. —rdissoa. _ _ Montesquieu says, " Study has been my sovereign remedy for all the calamities of life that have fallen to my lot, an hour's attentive reading has blunted the edge of the most acute sorrow with which I was ever adicted, and made me smile at diSappointtnents that at first affected me deeply.—None can ever be truly contemptible, except those who have formed and lived in bad connections.—A man of sense and virtue, whatever may be his situation in life, is a valuable companion."

This was a suit promo t ed by Mr. William Rose, who holds the situation of Register and Comptroller in the Legacy Department of the Stamp Office, against Louisa Rose, his wife, for a divorce, on the ground of adultery. The complainant brought an action in the Court of King's Bench, in May last, against a Mr. Blakemore, for criminal conversation with Mrs. Rose, his wife, in the years 1823, 1824, and 1825, and obtained a verdict for 1501. damages. Upon this verdict Mr. Rose insti tuted the present suit for a divorce. The libel con tained sixteen articles, and k set forth that Mrs. Rose had frequent meetings, and carried on an adulterous intercourse with Mr. Blakemore for three years, in the absence of her husband, who was obliged to attend to the discharge of his duties is the Stamp Office. Mr. Rose residei at Highgate, and Mrs. Ruse was in the habit of leaving her home and meeting Mr. Blakemore clandestinely, under the pretext of visiting a sick friend, when st.e would remain with him until about the time her husband was expected home at night. The libel also pleaded the fact of adultery in Homey Church yard, in January, 1824, as proved at the trial, and that Mr. Blakemore was teen walking with Mrs. Rose at another time, in Brommages-walk, Highgate, with his arm about her waist. Miss Bowen, a young Lady who live) in the house with Mr. and Mrs. Rose, was ready to prove the declaration of attachment made by Mrs. Rote for Mr. Blakerrrore, and of her aversion to her husband. The cause now came on for bearing to have the litrel on behalf of Mr. Rose admitted to proof. Dr. Lustnacrom was beard in support of the libel, and submitted that the t,cts stated were such as ought to be admitted to proof. ... 11— Dr. JESS'S ADDAMS, fur the t espondent,objocted to the libel, and contended that the pleadings were set out in too general terms, and not sufficiently specific. The words .4 liequently meeting" were too vague and inde finite, and he submitted that the libel ought not to be admitted in such a sttte. Dr. Lusunscrou, in reply, said the objection was merely techni cal and unnatural, and could nut have any weight with the Court, as the fact of adultery was distinctly pleaded. The COO ST admitted the libel to proof, and substituted the words " in the habit of meeting" for tt frequently meeting" to meet the objection of the Coutissi for the respondent. HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES. ATKINSON V. ATKINSON. This case, which was utiginally depending in the /Itches Court, was in the nature of a suit brought by Elizabeih Atkinson against her husband, Thomas At kinson, of Alverstoke, in the county of Southampton, for a divorce from bed and board, by reason of cruelty and -Adultery. The Juege of the Arches Court having decided for the divorce, Mr. Atkinson appealed, and the case now came on to be argued before Mr. Justice Hommel), Mr. Justice Bunaovou, Baron Gars am w, and Drs. DAVIIICNT, ARNOLD, PICKARD, &C. The libel pleaded, that the respondent, Thomas Atkinson, was a number of years in the habit of carrying nn an adulterous connection with several women, and had two bastard children, for one of which he be came acc,ountable to the parish of Gosport, and for the ether to the parish of Paddington. The libel further pleased, that in 1819 Mrs. Atkinson consented to forget and forgive all the respondeat's former infidelity, it he would promise for the future to abandon his licet.tious habits. Upon his pledging himself that effect, the parties again cohabited : but the libel pleaded, that during the year 1820, Mr. Atkinson became acquainted with a w idow named A.nr. Rolls ; that he frequently sent the said Ann Rolls presents of fruit, game, &c. that he constantly visited her, and that diming his visits, the curtains of the room in which he was with Mrs. Rolls were pulled down, and certain indecent fami liarities passed between him and her, from which it , a as to be presumed that an adulterous intercouse was CAllied on betty een the parties. In reply to this charge, it was pleaded, that Mrs. Rolls was a Lady of respect. able character ; that she resided with her parents ; and that when Mr. Atkinson visited her, several persons were in the room, and always continued so until he left. _ _ Drs. Lusuniothe and Donsoo were now beard in support of the decision of the Court below, and Dr. James for the appellant. The point chiefly relied upon by the Counsel for the appellant was an exception to the admission of an alle- gation made by a witness named llara r Hnhhc, who swore that she received no bribe, but subsquently de clared that her father had received money from Mrs. Atkinson to purchase clothes for her. The Cove? found for the decree, thereby confirtnins the decision of the Court below. A new Comedy by MORTON, is in rehearsal at Co vent-Garden Theatre, which will be produced soon after Christmas. Tuesday might the SPEAKER informed the House, that WILLIAM Connarr, E'q. of Kensington, had not en tered into the requisite recognizance' to prosecute his petition complaining of an undue Election for Preston. It was therefore moved and carried, as is usual in such cases, that the order to ballot for a Committee to try the merits of such petition be discharged. Our R aders will remember that Daniel Gould, a master blacksmith of Somers"lown, was convicted at the Clerken well S.ssions of a most violent assault on the servant of a licensed victualler, who had done no. thing to provoke him beyond refusing to let him pass out of the house without paying for some gin he had obtained. Tht COURT, at the time, deferred its sen tence; but the prisoner has since been brought up, and after some sevete animadversions from the CHAIRMAN on the brutality of his conduct, was sentenced to four' asonths' in►peisornnent, and to be kept to hard labour. At the same time William Palmer, the constable of St. P a ncras, who was convicted of an assault on Mr. Braith waitewas sentenced to imprisonment for a similar period. HOUSE OF LORDS, DEC. 13. The Clerk read at the table the final Judwnent of the House, in an Appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland. P, V. DONALD, Ilt lama:lntr. This Appeal, which was heard at the Bar, on Wed nesday, the 29th ult. relates to the validity of a title to a villa, in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, called Pros pect Hill, which had been purchased at a public auc tion, on the 81st of January, 1817, by the appellant, ' 1 from the respondent, in his character of trustee, on the sequestrated estate (or, as we sh , ,uld say, in this coun try, assignee on the bankrupt's estate) of James Corbet, formerly agent in Glasgow. It appeared, from the pleadinge, that the property had been c.,nveyed, by a person of the name of MiKeird rick, not to the bankrupt himself, but to his wife (Mrs. Corbet), who, however, being satisfied that the property had been purchased by the money of her husband's creditors, transferred it to the respondent, for their benefit. In the conditions of sale, the respondent be came bound to execute and deliver to the purchaser "a valid irredeemable disposition (assignment) of the aforesaid subjects ;" but the only title, which he had to offer to the appellant, consisted—First, of the con veyance, by *Kendrick to Mrs. Cerbet—Secondly, of that Lady's conveyance to the tfustee—Thirdly, of the deed of transfer, by the trus:ce to the appellant. The legal question raised by this Appeal came, there. fore, to be, was this a sufficient title ? The Court of Session had repeatedly decreed, " That the respondent is not bound, at the expense of the bankrupt estate, to make any addition to the title offered by him, but that he is bound, at the risk and expense of Mr. Dick (the appellant), to concur in any supplemen tary title he may wish to have executed." The Court also awarded costs to the respondent. The LORD CHANcELLoa,"after a few observations, moved, " That the Decrees of the Court below be re• versed; and that the cause be remitted back to that Court, with directions to take all pi /ler steps for carry ing this judgment into execution. WINTER ASSIZES. CHELMSFORD, Dscemsza 12. The winter gaol delivery for this county commenced here on Monday morning, before Mr. Justice BAYLEY and Mr. Justice GASELEE. The calendar is et ry heavy in point of number of culprits, but there are not many serious cases, and it is not expected that the business will end before Saturday. Thomas Kingen was indicrei for having feloniously forged and counterfeited, on the 17th July, at Waltham stow, a check upon Messrs. Curtis and Co. banker., London, for the sum of 261. 14v. w ith intent to defraud Thos. Liusell. There was a second count, for uttering the same check, knowing it to be forged. There were two other similar sets of counts, except that the intent was laid to he to defraud other persons. Mr. BRODiiICK and Mr. CLARKSON conducted the prosecution, at the instance of the Society of Bankers, for their mutual protectiunagainq forgery. Mr. JEdSOPP was for the prisoner. The case was in substance this: The prisoner lived with Mr. Ben. Cotton, the brother of the prosecutor, at Layton, in the capacity of footman, and was discharged from his situation on the 6th July, receiving six guineas, the amount of the wages then due to him, by a check on Messrs. Curtis and Co. his master's bankers. Some time after the prisoner had quitted Mr. Cotton's set vice, it was discovered that five blank checks had been torn out of his master's check books. Oa the 17th of July, the prisoner called upon a Mr. Linsell, a grocer, in Layton, and requested him to cash him a check for 261. 14s. purporting to be drawn by William Cotton upon Messrs. Curtis and Co. payable to George Turnley. Mr. Linsell at first hesi:ated, but at the pressing request of the prisoner casheJ the check. Mr. Linsell's son was present at the transacti 41, and they both swore pftsitively to the person of the prisoner.— The check remained in the possession of Mr. Linsell till the Vlst of July, when his son, by his desire, paid it to a Mr.Walker,the clerk of Mr. Strange, a cheesemonger, in London, for a bill due to him from Linsel.l, avid Mr. Strange paid it into his own bankers, Mess's. Mul key and Co. by whom it was presented to Curtis and Co. who declined paying it, alleging tl:at Mr. Wm. Cotton had no cash account with them. check being then returned to Mr. Linsell, it was, upon in quiry, discovered to be a forgery; and suspicion arising against the prisoner, means were taken to arrest him. The prisoner Will aprehended by Cope, the City Marshal, on the 9th of August, at Mr. thivei's house, in Tudor-street, Blackfriars, after a desperate attempt to escape. Upon his person were found 37 sovereigns and I ls. and in the house where he had some time pre viously resided, there was found a pocket •book, sealed, containing three blank checks upon Curtis and Co. and a letter in his handwriting, apparently aJdressed to his sweetheart, in which he complained of being in extreme distress for want of mony. Two witnesses proved that the check set out in the indictment was filled up in the handwriting of the prisoner; and two other witnesses proved that the handwriting of that check was not of Mr. William Cotton, the apparent dra er. On the part of the prisoner, Mr. B. Cotton and a Mr. Hoppey, in whose service he had previously lived for nearly a twelvemonth, stated, that lie had lived with them, respectively, as a confidential servant ; that they had received a goed character of him from a respecta ble quarter, and that he had conducted himself with the strictest integrity while in their service. Mr. Justice GASILIIK recapitulated the whole of the evidence to the Jury, telling them that there was no di rect evidence of the prisoner having forged the check in this county; but it was for them to consider whether the proof of the check being in his hand writing, fAlow ed up by the evidence of his having uttered it, which was very strong, did not satisfy them that he hat ut tered a forged check with a guilty knowledge. If they were of that opinion, it would be their duty to convict the prisoner; but if they entetta'ned any reasonable doubt upon the subject, he ought to have the benefit thereof, and the good character he had received ought also to operate in his favour. The Jury, after a very short deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of uttering the check, knowing it to have been forged. The prosecutor then earnestly recommended the prisoner to mercy, suggesting that he believed him to have bees in great dis tress in point of circumstances, and his mind much agitated by the unhappy situation of his family. The Learned JUDGE passed the sentence of the law, holding out no , immediate hopes of mercy to the unfortunate convict. In the Royal cemetery of the Kings of Denmark at Copenhagen, the coins, instead of being concealed in tom►s, stand open to view in Chancels orChapels, separated horn the spec. tator only by an iron palisade; in much the same manner as those of our Saaoo Monarchs in Winchester Cathedral. GLASGOW, Dn. 12, Friday evening, about six o'clock, a daring robbery was committed withio three hundred yards of the Cum bernauld Inn, upon an English traveller, in the stationery line. While he was driving his gig slowly along, three men passed him, one of whom, when they got as far as the horse's head, seized the bridle, upon which the other two turned round and tossed the traveller out of the gig, robbing him of 28 sovereigns and his pocket-book, in which were two bills on Newcastle. They also carried away the contents of the gig-box ; and although an immediate and active search was made after the rob bees by the inhabitants of the village, who turned out manfully, no traces of them have yet been discovered. Saturday night, about eleven o'clock, a Gentleman stopped a suspicious-looking character on the Wood side road, carrying a large bundle. On challenging him, the fellow drew a knife, and threateaed to cut the Gentleman's throat. A scuffle ensued, and the suspected manmade his escape ; not, however, without leaving part of the contents of the bundle behind him, which consisted of a web of woollen cloth. The cloth, and a coarse sheet which was along with it, were partially wet, and they had the appearance of I aving been stolen from a carrier's cart. Information we understand was immediately lodged by the Gentleman a; the Police office, that the proper owner of the cloth might Eet it restored. Monday evening, the 4th inst. as the Perth Mail was proceeding from this city, the guard observed the road at the north end of the village of Denny completely blocked up by fifteen carts, loaded with whisky, be. longing to Alloa and Tullibody; and although the guard repeatedly sounded his horn, no person appeared to take charge of them, and he was under the necessity of alighting, in order to lead the carts aside to make room for the coach to pass, when he was violently as. saulted by the caters, struck and abused till be bled profusely from the ear ; and it was not without danger that the coach got past, as it came in contact with some of the carts, to the great alarm of the pa-sengers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. VOW-STREET. Wednesday morning, as soon as the business commenced, a re spectable looking young man, who stated his name to be George Smith, applied for a warrant against Mr. Charles Long, a GLntk man hulling a situation in his Majesty's Household at Carlton House, for an assault. lie stated, that he was passing through the lobby of the Adelplii Theatre on Tuesday evening, when he was accosted impudently by a woman of the town. Ile pu.hed her gently aside, and she imme diately struck him in the mouth, and at the same moment a genteel looking min came up, asked him how he dared to strike a woman ? and immediately gave him a blow on the nose. The applicant de manded his name and address, anti he replied " I am Mr. Charles Long, of Carlton House," and applicant then suffered him to depart, intending to seek redress here. A warrant was issued, but Mr. Long, on receiving the visit of the Officer, declared with much surprise that he knew nothing of the matter. Ile however expressed his willingness to attend, and came accompanied by two Gentlemen, friends of his. When Mr. Long entered the Office the complainant was sent for, and desired to state his case, b►►t havi►►g looked round, he said the offender was not present. An explanation took place, and Mi. Smith assured Sir it. Brame that Mr. Long was not at all like the person who had assaulted him, and that it must have been some fellow who by accident happened to know Mr. Long by tame, and was dastardly enough to nuke use of it. 1...1 4 said it was singular enough that he and his two friends were at the Adelphi on Tuesday night ; hut a the time (10 o'clock) that the assault was said to have taken place, they were out supping at Coveney's Tavern. Mr. Smith expressed his 'meow that Mr. Long should have bean subjected to the inconvenience of attending here, but the latter treated the matter with the most perfect good humour, and there it ended fur the present. M ARY-L A-BONNE. Four publicans in the vicinity of Paddington were fined 40s each, at the suit of that indefatigable friend of morality, Johnson, for serving during service-time on Sunday the 3d inst. In this in stance the worthy Reformer produced a new jackal) to prove the fact, viz. J. Brooks, a law•wri:er, residing in Copenhagen street, Pentonville. Another case, brought forward by the same worthy wight, against Mr. Perkins, of the Cock, at Kilburn, was supported by Aaron Rawlins. who has left the useful occupation of a shaver, to bee assistant in the respectable vocation of an informer ; but unfortunately for his testimony, It was proved that Divine Service was performed in Mr. P.'s Parish Church front 11 to 1, and from 6 to 8 in the evening; consequently front 3 to 4 is not an illegal hour. At this decision the veteran "grinned most horribly a ghastly smile," and declared he should look after Mr. P. in future at the right hours. _ . The worthy Mr. Rawlins said he had no interest in the convic. tion, as be was paid by his new master at the rate of 10s. a day when employed in town, and 20s. in the country; and as there were seven days in the week, it was far better than shaving: Mr. Woo Air, who attendea for Mr. Harmer, requested the Ma gistrate to grant a summons for the veteran, for exercising his laudable profession on the Sabbath-day. Johnson replied." Works of neceady might be done."—The Magistrate, however, declined for the present to interfere. Ann Hadley. a young married woman, was charged upon a a warrant with having assaulted Henry tricker. Ricker, who was formerly a Gentleman's servant, stated, that having a writ out against the defendant's husband, he accompanied a Sheriff's officer to his apartments, when Mrs. Hadley jumped out of bed, attempted to stab him with a fork, and, as be made his re treat down the stairs, she Bong the Are tongs after him and injured his back. Mrs. Hadley acknowledged that she made some resistance, but said she never had the fork in her hand. Flicker forced his way into her chamber before she was up, although he knew her husband was in the country; she jumped out of bed in her night clothes, to pre vent the intrusion, and then he put his hands to her bosom, pushed her against the drawers, and behaved with great indecency. Mr. RaWLIJION said such conduct was not to be tolerated, and dismissed the warrant. QUEEN-SQUARE. Mr. Job Barker, a dealer in straw bonnets, of Lei:ester square, was summoned by the driver of the hackney coach, No. 1172, tor rerusiiis to ray his fare. lie had been delvers from Lei cester-square to 296, Holborn, for which Jarvis, demanded is. it being more than a mile. Mr. B. would only pay ls. contending ii was under that distance. Mr. Barker said, he got a person from Bow-street to measure it, and found it wanted eight yards of a mile. The coachman said he also had measured it, and found it over the mile. Mr. Barker would pay to have it again measured. All parties mustered yesterday morn ing,and Mr. B. betted Ws. to Is. with the coachman that he was right. On returning to the Office, the officer stated, that it was 11 yards over the mile. Mr. Barker now said that it was measured on the wrong side of the road. Mr. GRWORIE said, that in the whole course of his life, he never met a more obstinate man. He might have it measured again, if he liked. Mr. B. consented to this, but wished to have his Bow street friend to be present.—After a long discussion, Mr. Gregorie ordered him to pay the costs, amounting to 21s. or, in default, to be con 111 l itted to the House of Correction for one month ; which was reluctantly paid at last for the disputed fid. UNION-HALL. A few days ago, a Mr. John Hunt, who described himself as one of the Select Vestry beloagiug to Sc. Mary Lambeth, applied at this Office, for a warrant to search the premises of Mr. William Gibbs, the son of the late master of Norwood House of Industry, the former of whom he alleged had feloniously conveyed away from the Wotkhouse, certain property, cousistiug of a few rope mats, some leather, and a►out albs. of black lead, the property of the above parish. The . blagistrates hating put the usual questions to the applicant, the warrant was granted. Yesterday the - defendant, who is a young man of very respecta ble appearance, was brought before the Sitting Magistrate, M. Swaagy, Esq. He was attended by Mr. Harmer, and several of his friends. There was also a very strong muster of the parish officers. The mats, the leather,-and rha• black lead which had he m , on the premises o( the prisoner, were produced for the Magistre....', inspection, the complainant observing that hr should bring I,ra i , 4 witnesses to identify them. A person naitird Kent was then called, who, on examining t* .t black lead, sail that he hail sold a quantity of thlt article to beth parish, but whether that produced was the same he coJI.I i,, t take upon himself to swear.. _ _ Mr. Harris, a currier, who wss in the habit of supplying t L. parish officers with leather, on examining the " butt ends" t ."; produced, said they were like those for which the parish contr.c4 wish him. Ha also stated that Mr. Gibbs's father frequently 1„ 1: with him for leather on his own account, and he had futhish,l!4, with " butt ends' . so much resembling those produced, that it %v; impossible for a stranger to discover the difference. Mr. Harmer sail that the conduct of the parish officer, t o ;;, client was most disgraceful. The defendant was a youu2, e, 4 living in reFfectability at Stanmore. Ott the death of his tatt at which took place at Norwood a short time ago, he removed td, ; .: premises all the property that be conceived to be his lath. ; including the ends of kather, the few pounds of black k a.j 5.,1 the old mats, the value of which would not amount to inure :.. thirty *billings. Loon after the removal tin deitiidani h,4 some obscure hints Ottawa out that he had tobt , rd toe p.ar,•11,4p., which be sought an opportunity of inviting the parish oil Lets examine his premises; instead of doing which, in the hrs. ii.stanu, they had applied for and obtained a search warrat.t. Uu li te , log the vindictive proceedings which the parish offers adopted, he immediately got into his gig, and to she w the oiseusi.:k.il that actuated him, to give every facility in the seat ch, nteeittig constable on the road to town, he took him up, drove him oats to Stanmore, and pointed out every article 011 his premises tta: he conveyed away from his father's apartments subsequent :o Mr. Harmer concluded, by repeating, that the parish officeis acted in the most crud and vindictive m.rater towards the man, whom they must be aware, (even admitting the few pai.., articles to he the property of the parisb,) had not taken them felonious intent. A number of Gentlemen here spoke in high tern,:: of the character of the accused. The Magistrate—Mr. Gibbs's character is not at all aliecte3 I, these proceedings: there is not the shadow of a pretext th.: .c had taken those things with a feloniutta intent, even auninting t, t:t to be the property of the parish. The parish officers all stared at one another; sad one of the—, observed, that it the accused was kept longer in custusly, he hail doubt a strong case would be made out agatnst bins. Mr. Harmer—l think my client will have a much stronger c. -e for being apprehended on such a charge, and I shall advise inn: ca eater actions against one and all of you. LA NIBETH-STREET. Sesusekes was fully committed, charged with stripping abort 300 cwt. of lead front the roof of Stepney Church, and ativilti to .steal the same. He was ordered to be brought up agrt❑ ttl a few days, on a charge of committing a highway tubby' y, w ith circumsrances of extreme violence. Extract of a letter received at the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, Sept. 25: " A few days since, 620 men, chiefly cavalry, embatk• ed for the Banda Oriental, and sailed under convoy of the brig of war Balcaree, and schooner Sarandi.— Scarcely a week passes hut troops are thus sent over, and yet this is a blockaded port.

The Oriental 'Spectator reposes, under the heal cf Ciinstantinople, '2oth October, that on the 17th ci that month the Sultan had gone out with his son, the heir apparent to the throne, and that this was the firs: time a Sultan had appeared in public with his son.lhe Janissaries bad hitherto opposed every attempt of this kind, so that the Prince could never see the wants of the nation, hear its grievances, and learn the real prover of the Sovereign, which rests on the opinion of ri:e people. With respect to the late conspiracy, it was said that several thousand Janissaries, chiefly such as had been banished from the Capital on the dissolu tion of their corps, had mutinied at 'smith, on the Asiatic coast, at the end of the little B ty, at the entrance of which the Prince's Islands are situated ; that they had murdered the Pacha and all the Magistrates of the town, and after destroying it, had gone against other places; Their accomplices in the city were seized by the police, and numerous executions bad already taken place. It was added, that several ships with troops have been sent against the rebels at Ismith. The usual disgusting display of over-fat mutton is beginning to make its appearance in the butchers' shops. Yesterday a poor man named Wootten, was carried to the Middlesex Hospital, in a most dangerous situa tion. It appears, that he was driving a waggon along the Ealing road, when it overturned and fell upon him. Abraham Hill, a common carrier, from Bawdsey to Woodbridge, Suffolk, was convicted in 1001. penalty, on Thursday, with loss of horse and cart, for having contraband spirits in his possession—in default of which he was committed to the county gaol till the fine be paid.
