the heartlessness of the defendant, the Learned Counsel 1 declared that the City of London would, on Tuesday next, witness the public execution of some unfortunate men—one of them, perhaps, had stolen a sheep, or a few . shillings. How trifling was such an offence compared with that of the robber of domestic happiness ! Mr. Phillips then called the following witnesses: Mrs. Mary Anne Rod way, the sister of the plaiatiff, deposed, that the plaintiff and his wife had lived upon the best possible terms. She had frequent opportunities of witnessing their domestic happiness, having often been on a visit with them for a fortnight together. Her brother was about 28. years of age, and his wife was 22, and a remarkably fine woman. Her father had retired from business, anti was possessed of considerable pso• perty ; plaintiff and his wife seemed to be greatly at tached. The wife always spoke of the husband in terms of the most enthusiastic affection. Mrs. Deborah Owen, of Doke-street, Stamford-street, deposed, that on the 20th of February the defendant took apartments in her souse, and-introduced the plain . tiff's wife as Mrs. Marsh ; and since that period bad cohabited with her as a man with his wife. John Reed, attorney of Cheltenham, deposed, that he went to the house of the last witness on Friday, and saw defendant and plaintiff's wife together. When he lamented to them the circumstance that had taken place, and told the defendant that there was abundance of evidence against them in his let ters,the defendant asked him "what letters?" Witness shewed to him the letters alluded to in the Counsel's speech, which letters .he at once admitted to be his. The defendant Was about .28 years of age; witness could not say what property be possessed. The letters from the defendant, which he had fre quently requested Mrs. Rawlings would burn, but which she used to place carefully under her pillow every night, were then read It was the practice of the defendant to direct them to different persons, and to address them to the Post-office, to remain there till called for. The following ate extracts from the de fendant's letters. " Mr Dial, DIAS POLLT—linee I parted with you my mind has been dwelling with anxious pleasing anticipation on this hour (for I fear I shall not be able to see los this evening), and how it has evinced I am doomed to deplore, with many others, the total inadequacy of language to convey to you the feelings which actuate me. I could throw down my pen as useless; but the delightful -conviction that I am affordihg ybu pleasure impels me to continue. Did 1 feel less, I should find no difficulty in writing to you ; but the love which fills my bosom cannot be described: it must be felt. Do not think me unreasonable. lam very, vet • unhappy when parted from you. I have not now the usual consolation of looking forward to this evening, but must pus another whole day Without yon, and in love's hours there are many days.' The bur , tied manner in which we last parted bas not tended to souls my uneasiness. Oh, my dear Mary I never again ask mc, do you love another? As you can have no other cause, shall I suppose that your own changing feelings dictated the question? No, Heaven forbid ; I will not, dare not, cannot think so. 9 Think that the world may quickly end, Think that man's heart is oft untrue; • Think that the words the dying send To Heaven may be deceptive too : but do not think that I can cease to love yen.

" Mr nuaare POLLY You r society has become so necessary to my happiness, that I murmur at the slightest interruption. To be serious, let me at once express my hope that you are quite well, and let this be the first question to which you reply in your answer to this letter. Shall I say to ou, my dear girl, as Lege& of Ethic. pia, said to himself,' This day shall be a day of happiness!'—of happiness, inasmuch as yen will experience a short relief horn that incessant chatter with which you havibeen overwhelmed for these few nights past. I cannot forget your pathetic exclamation of last night—' lam sure you never hear me talk very much when with you.' Good faith ! no, my love, I leave such brief intervals for you that you aye s quite unable to talk but by snatches and starts. This shall be rilFedied, and I will restrain the exuberance of speech which trenches so much on your female prerogative; but you will believe me, when I say with Ornstic.-- " 04, my sweet, I peattle•out of fashion, and I dote " In mine own cotnforts." I think I hear you exclaim, What a tedious homily have yon wee.' tied your parishioners withal, and never cried,' Have padence,good people ; hut, as you told me to say all I felt and thought, even to the utmost trille,.l trust you, will find some little circumstance to qualify your impatience at my long narrations. lam very anxious to hear bow you effected your return last night from the garden, whether without suspicion or no; for I could not but observe the anxiety, the unusual anxiety, depicted in your expressive countenance by, what I thought and feared, apprehensions of the conseqeences— Hasten to tell my fears are groundless, and I shall be happy. Do not misunderstand me. My fear is for you only. For myself I think not, when so infinitely superior a motive actuates me. I could not consider any thing fraught with danger that led me to your arms. To form and partake the happiness of the being I adore would make every hazard contemptible, and rouse and justify the utmost efforts of human resolution. As Cromwell bad his kicky Sd of Sept. and Buonaparte his 41st of October,ao have Imy gd of December. You will perhaps exclaim at my vanity for placing a nameless being like myself in the same page with such men. I have no actions performed on that day to hand down to posterity as they have, but I will not yield to them in the pleasure or remem brance my day confers upon me. On that day was my love stamped with a character it possessed not before love is fidelity. Ipi umise to be inviolably faithful to you. . You are the sovereign mistress of my affections, and will continue to comotand them to thelast hour of my existence. Calumny and un merited slander first awakened the passion which now burns in my bosom, and will but serve to preserve it bright and ardent. Adieu —Goo bless you.

The last of the letters of the defendant's to the plaintiff wife-contains the following: • " dare not ask bow yesterday evening passed of. It was un avoidable; but the knowledge that you even slept in the house after the scene of yesterday morning is agonizing to nae The event of yesterday has rendered my longer dwelling here totally im possible. Every hour may bring my departure : therefore urge forward some place that may remove you from your present abode, or throw you into my arms fur ever. You will pardon me, my love, for saying that I think you do not, and have out, sufficiently' pressed foreard the negotiations for separation. I implore you, at any rate, to see me speedily. I have a thousand things to say, and may be gone far frum you before I have an opportunity. And what will then be my fate ? Madness or death. The defendant, after the desired interview, came up to town iu tine Berkeley Hunt comb, under the name ) of Roberts, and was speedily followed by the unfol to. nate woman. The,Under-Sheriff briefly recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury, after two hours' deliberation, assessed the damages at 7001. Many stogies are told of the hair-breaJth escapes which the defendant had, daring his stolen visits to the house of the plaintiff; one deserves to be noticed. Some time after the defendant became ethnically intimate with Mrs. Rawlings, she absented herself from her hus band's bed on pretence of indisposition, and took the servant girl to sleep with her. One evening the hus band entered his wife's room to ask after her health. He approached the bed, and laid his hand,as he thought, upon the shoulder of the servant maid. His wile re-, proached him for the indelicacy ; and insisted on his leaving the room. He did so ; but he met the servant girl on the stairs. He returned, in order to punish hi, dithonouter, but was too late to prevent a leap out of the window. NKWDICK AND OTHERS V. ST.CATHARINS DOCK COMPANY. Tne claimants were the freeholders of 23 houses and a stable, situated in King Henry-yard, parish of St. Bo tolph, Aldgate, which were required for the purposes of the duck., -and had demanded 13,5501. for the srme.— Evidence was called to shew that the gross rental of the ptembes four y:ars ago, was 3741. from which deduc tions were to be made, for tam, rates, repairs, &c. of 1291. lerving a net rental of 2451. Upon cross exami• nation of the witnesses, it appeared that the house had been since let at a redaction in rent of 471. and it was contended on the part of the Dock Company, that the actual rental was to be taken as proof of the present vane of the property, according to which, at 16t years purchase, a sum of 3,4501. ought to be considered as a full compensation. The Jury retired, and returned a verdict for 3,9151. being 9,6531. less than demanded. PRITCHETT P. THE SAME. The claimant in this case demanded 4,9001. as the value of eleven tenements, one dwelling house, and a shed, situated in New-buildings, and in King Henry yard. Verdict 2,8001. being 2,1001. less than demanded. HARRISON, PALSIINS, AND ACHT . ON, D. THE SAME. • These several claimants were the proprietors of eight freehold houses in King Henry-yard, for which they demanded 4,3201. besides compensation for loss of rent, fixtures, and improvements, and for such other damage or injury as would inevitably be sustained on account of the execution of the Dock Act.—Verdict 1,4944 being 2,8261. less than demanded. In the course of the day, Mr. ADOLPHUS made an application to the Under Sheriff, in arrest of the ver dict in the case of Smales, the butcher, upon the ground that the claimants were dissatisfied with the verdict, and that the trial having taken place on a Saterday, seve ral butcher, whose testimony would hive been impor tant, could not attend ; and further, that the evidence adduced by the Duck Company was not such as ought to have influenced the judgment of the Jury. Mr. ADAM resisted the application upon two grounds —the first, that it the dissatisfaction of claimants were to form a pretence for revision, no limit would be put' to litigation; and next, that the Dxk Act established a separate and distinct jurisdiction, for the hearing and adjudication, without appeal ; in deed, if appeal were allowed in proceedings under Acts for public improve ment, it would not be possible to carry their objects into effect. The WIDE' Suvtiir, after adverting to the several provisions of the Act, declared it to be his opinion that he had no power to grant the application, and that he should certify the inquisition. Mr. ADOLPHUS, there fore, took nothing by his motion. JURY COURT, EDINBURGH. Dr. James Harmon, Jun. Professor of Midwifery in the Univer sity of Edinburgh, v.

The action arose out of certain words spoken by the defendant at a meeting of the Senatus, in the month of April, $25.

IS In puny, If not in most, of the Regiments Of *or Army, there Is to be found a sect of Mar who is a privileged oddity,—who takes liberties with all his brethren of the mew with impunity, and who pockets every thing short of a blow with the best pos. sale humour. In general, the individuals of this description an designated in the inessarOom vocabulary • Goon-multi= OLo fimoaaa; and Oar Swum, meaning thereby, that they can • go' at the bottle, and stick' at tie table till' all's blue.' "One of them, a Quartermaster of Infantry, with a nails of the =tat: Barealph complexion, a rosy and eternal smite, a short sad a big bead, baying dined with a party of brother Officers it the Tatum Coes, Harwich—the day on which his Regiment marched into the barracks of that town—was in the best possible spirits: so mock so, that he gave the bottle no rest until shout eleven o'clock; and became' autumn: just as the company broke up—right Or wrong be wools go along with three of the youngest Sebeltents..to ramble by the sea-side in the nmonehine, having been •ee Loan a' visa sine.' They permitted him reluctantly' perhaps, Indeed, became they could not prevent him; but when the party gut down to the place where passengers and goods are usually embarked; the Quartermaster became totally overpowered, end sank senseless into a more. The Officers whom he accom panied cook" not think of carrying his coaros back to the inn ; nor were there any persona near Wheal they could employ for the par. Peat one of them, therefore, spoked the door of a private carriage which steed near, ' unshipped' from the wheels—ready for em "'halloos and in a moment the sleeper was bundled Into it, where 4e was left to his repose with the door fast shut open hint. " Next morning at daybreak (about three o'clock) the coach, with its contents was pot oo board the Hamburgh packet, and stewed away at the 'err bottom of the hold; in half an boar after tkbhihe 'maid put to sea. " For th e whole of the day the packet had a brisk bream, and at eskissYbe was a good hundred miles away from Harwich; a dead eOse. Min- It was a beautiful night in July, and the passeogers :Were Set all gone to bed; some walked the deck, and others sot islaw at cards—every thing was silent, except Se rattling of the lisps as tht ship yielded to the smooth and gentle swell of the pimples North Sea. About this time the Quartermaster, it Is sop. Need, awoke; at least he had not been heard before to utter his Minplaints probably from the bustle consequent on the managing 'llif the vessel in a stiff breeze. However; it was at this time that his Cracked and buried voice first fell upon the ears of the crew; and for abouistwenty minutes the panic it created is indescribable. The whist company in the cabin, at first thougbt it was one of the sailors in a chest, and called the Captain, who declared be had been that minute examining into the cause of the unearthly sounds, and had' mustered his crew, all of whom were on deck, as much astouished as he was—nay, more so, for one of them, a Welchman. felt coa.l 'Weed that the voice proceeded from the speaking trumpet of the l ghost of David Jones, his I shipmate,' who had died in iV will with him.' 44 !"—Murder!'—' Murder!' now rose upon all ears, as if the voice were at the bottom of the sea, The Welshman fell upon bis knees, and begged forgiveness of his in jured and departed friend, David Jones: the teat of the crew caught a slight tinge of his fears, and paced about in couples to and fro; some declaring the voice was below the rudder, and others that it was at the mast-head. The passengers, one and ail, hurried on deck.; in short, none on board, not even the Captain and the oldest seaman, were free from alarm; for they had searched every wasireata place in the vessel without discovering the cause of their terrors, mad the bold, it was evident, could not have contained an extra rat, it was so tramined with luggage, &c. Let me out, you d—d rascals! let me out—let me out, I say !' screamed the voice with increased vigour. These exclamations the Welshman declared were addressed to devils, , that were torment ing his deceased enemy, David; and he uttered a fervent prayer for the peace of she wandering and unhappy soul: Mit a diferent idea was awakened in the mind of the Captain, by the words-- ' Let me out.' ' There is somebody packed up in the hold," ea claimed he ; and instantly ordering the men to follow him down, all began to remove the upper layer of articles; which being done, the voice became louder atiol more distinct. Where are you,' bawled the Captain. " ' I'm here in a coach, d—n you!' answered the Quarter master. " The mystery was now calved, and the Welshman Made easy; but no one could ima4iae hes* 'a humeri being could have ? gm hats) the carriage. However; sattifaction on this point was net to be' waited for ; . sti the men fellitiViork, and after about half an hour's bard exertion, succeeded in tlisfncombering the vehicle. They then proceeded to unpack the Quartermaster, whose astonishment amounted almost to madness, when be found that he had not only been confined in a teach, but in a ship, and that the said ship was then in the middle of the German Ocean ! It was impossible to put back to Harwich, so no remedy was left the little fat Gentleman but to proceed to the end of the voyage, and to take a passage back from Hamburgh as soon as•posslble.. This was bad enough ; but his hopes of en early return were almost destroyed by the setting in of adverse wln4s, which kept the Vessel beating about in a most bile-brewing and stomach-stirring Ocean, for ten days and nights ; during which time, when not sea sick, the Quartermaster was employed in profoundly meditating how be could have got into the coach ; and even after having taken the opining) of the Captain, the crew, and all the passengers, upon the matter, he felt himself as much in the desk as ever. The last thing he could recollect of ' the land he had left,' was that he dined and mean at the Three Cups,'—what followed was chaos. " But the worst of the affair, decidedly, was, that the day en which he bad been err To sea was tbe 22d of th e month, and as it was impossible for him to make his appearance with his regiment on the 24th, he knew he must, as a matter of coarse, be reported AlilllT wrzuouT Leave at Head-quarters, and that he would most probably be 110711111tDItti. This reflection was even worse than the weather to the Quartermaster, though the rough sea bad already almost brought his heart up.' However, he had great hopes of being able to join his regiment on the lOth of the follow ing month—the next RITI/iN nar—and, by due application, he thought he might contrive to prevent supersesdoo. Ten days of this time was, however, consumed before he seta foot upon the German shore, and then only half of his excursion was over: 'all his hopes rested upon a quick passage back to Harwich. 71111, haw ever, the Fates denied him; for having drawn en the agent--got the cash —engaged his passage to England—laid in sea stock, and all things necessary—the packet, just as she was leaving Hansburgh, was run foul of by a five hundred ton ship, and so much injured that she was obliged to put back, and the unfortunate Quarter- Master was thus compelled to wait a fortnight for another oppor. tuuity of returning to England. He cot only was delayed beyond the Inds (return -day) but beyond the following 24th, and when he DO) arrive, be found that be had been not only superseded by the Commander.in-Chief, but considered dead by all his friends and celeriacs! " However, on personally applying for reinstatement, he ob tained it, and once more joined his old corps at Harwich, where he ' many a night amused the mess with the recital of his trip to sea in the. coach ; which was always given with most effect when he was PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED.
