LAW IRT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Maim 17. WaLLysi.eY b. Tilt DIAL 07 111AUFORT. Mr. HART observed in this case, it was his duty to call his Lotdship's attention, to that which alone ought to fix the attention of the Court, whether there existed any stye of fact , at this mo.nent that would justify the extraordinary and unusual interposition of the Chancel -1.,r to cake from •he father the care and custody of his children, which the I,w of the land gave him. The purport of his address was to prevent his Lordship from exercising a power which would deprive this Gentle man-of one of the dearest rights a father could possess --the care of his children. With respect to the ability of the father to educate his children, there had been no impatation of chat kind cast on him. It was not int. to look at the character and condition in life orthoie who had attempted to throw calumnious im putations on hiiclient. He had no doubt his Lordship was nauseated with the scandal read to him from the affidavit of Dr. Bulkely. That Gentleman, he must say, wantonly, certainly unnecessarily, had travelled into the secret transactions of a third person, imputing to them crimes little short of infanticide. He had also in timated, that Mr. Wellesley, before his unfortunate se paration from his wife, had treated her with every ne glect and inattention. The Doctor had, since the last hearing of this case, made another affidavit. He should make'no observation on the part of it which stated, that Mrs. W. was the person who deaited Mrs. Bligh should be introduced into the family, as a document in Mrs. Wellesley's hand-writing clearly chewed, it washer act, an act done from benevolent motives, but which led to so unfortunate a crisis. As to that part of the affidavit where the Doctor stated Mr. Wellesley encouraged his children to use indecent and profane language, all he could say on that subject was, that it was most posi tively denied by Mr. Wellesley. Dr. Bulkeley, who stated himself to have been so disgusted at the conduct of Mr. W. ate, drank, and slept comfortably in the house all the while such scenes as he described were going on. ale stated, Mr. Wellesley treated his wife with that sternness and subverseness which indicated itself to every person; that he refused to help her at dinner, and conducted himself with as little of that politeness ttud urbanity of manners, so prevalent at the tables of per sons of rank, that he deserved to be turned out. The Doctor then went on with a long detail of his having served in the Guerilla war, in Spain, and produced the affidavits of three Lieutenants in the 9th Regiment, all of whom said, that he was a very boon companion, and an excellent fellow. The Learned Counsel observed, he would give him credit for having killed many men ithout medicine, of being a very valiant man, and he had no doubt he had done good service in Spain, but against whom he knew not. The affidavits of the two ser- ' vants he had observed upon a former occasion. O'Meara', bad not denied he had been discharged for cheating his master, and therefore much credit could not be placed on the evidence of such a person. There was an affi- 1 davit made by Dr. Gladstone, to which he would now call his Lordship's attention. That Gentleman stated, he attended Mrs. Wellesley in her last illness, in con junction with Sir H. Halford, and that on the 12th of September last, the children of Mrs. L. Wellesley were removed from her house, the little girl committed to the care of the Misses Long, and the boys to the - care of Mr. Pittman, the tutor; and that neither Mr. P. n r' the Misses Long accepted the charge of the inisnts, front the deponent, as coming under the authority of Mr. Wellesley, the father, or any other person. On the l i 16th of September, Dr. Gladstone wrote to Mr. Wel lesley in the following words :—" On my own autho rity, I have given charge of the little girl to the Misses Long, and have requested Mr. Pittman to charge him self with the boys.' Mr. Wellesley thought the Misses Long were addicted to certain enthusiastic opinions as to the Chuch of England: He was not quite willing that I his children should have their minds poisoned by a no tion that they were sent into this world for no other pur pose than to, write and read religious tracts, and not to enjoy the blessings of PROVIDINCA thereby making this life a sort of pu r gatory, in the expectaion they would hereafter avoid damnation. Mr. Nixon, the clerk of one of the Solicitors for the defendants, swore (what he could have to do upon the subject, he, Mr. Hirt, could not tell) that he took a journey to Parii, and on his way, at Calais, had some conversation with certain servants, acid, other persons, who gave him a great deal of infor mation as to the general habits which this Gentleman used to indulge in, all of which information, as he was sent there for such purpose, he believed to be true. Mr. Nixon also assumed a feigned name, for the purpose of getting introduced to a Lady, who directed herself to be denied to2ll the world, hut Mr. Nixon had, under the name of Mr. Griffith, Mr. Wellesley's Solicitor, in troduced another person to that Lady, in order that that person might be able to say, the Lady whom she then saw was, at one time, lodging in her house—and that while she was lodging in her house, the same inti macy subsisted between her and Mr. Wellesle.y as be tween man arid wife. Mrs. Parker, the person who let the lodging•, stated, in her affidavit, th -it a Lady and Gentleman occupied her lodgings; that she always be hived they were husband and war, and that finding persons were always searching after them, they suddenly quitted her house. That she accompanied Mr. Nixon to the place where this Lady was living, for the purpose of seeing whether thiaLady was or was not the person whose name had'been so frequently mentioned in this case.. The Learned Counsel observed, that Mrs. W. had sa crificed largely in a pecuniary point of view to the im providence of this young gentleman; but every one could see it was the sacrifice of affection well requited. In 1822, when Mr. W. quitted England, she determined not to remain an hour behind him. No affection from her friends could compensate for the loss of his society. • When on the Continent with her husband, in a letter to a confidential friend, she stated, " I am now here with my husband, and I never was so happy in my life— Did not that circumstance speak more than volumes of attiJavits. He would now state to his Lordship the a tliU AV its of gentlemen, who, when Mr. Wellesley's family was anioad, were constantly in the habit of visiting their house. Mr. William Guilly, who was the tutor of the Hon. William Wellesley for two years, stated, he was most intimate with the late wife of Mr. W. and constantly spent a great deal of time at Wanstead-house, before Mr. Wellesley went abroad. -That he has frequently had opportunit►es of observing the conduct of Mr. W. towards his children, and has always observed him to be most asixious and solicitous about them. That deponent spent some time at Naples, in April and May, 1823, and freqiently visited Mr. Wellesley's family. That, on one occasion, Mrs. Wel lesley informed deponent she never was so happy be fore, as ibe had never bad'ho Ali of Mr. Welk/iris. 'society. That deponent has always observed the great kindness and affection he entertained for his children;-and on one occasion remembers Mr. Wellesley remonstrating with his wife on the subject of her taking out her daughter and exposing her to the night air.—.Thete was another affidavit of 'Captain Thomas Garth, who visited the family when at Naples; and he stated, that he never witnessed the most distant degree of sternness in Mr. Wellesley's behaviour, or any want of affection, and that he was always part cularly attentive, and indulgent towards his children. That deponent remembers Mr. Wellesley telling him that Mr. Pittman,, the tutor, kept a book, wherein he inserted the good and bad behaviour of the young gentlemen, which was brought to Mr. Wellesley every week, and the young gentlemen rewarded according to their deserts. Mr. Edward Lambton, in his affidavit, stated, that *hen he was resident at Naples, he always thought Mr. W. was a very kind and affectionate father, and has often heard him say how strict he was in correcting his sons when they told a lie. Then there was the affidavit of Mr. Brummell, who, whatever might have been his misfor tunes in lite, he believed no one ever doubted the ho nour and veracity of that Gentleman. He stated, that when Mr. Wellesley was at Paris, he was in constant and habitual intercourse with him, and that hit conduct always appeared to be most kind and affectionate to his children. Mr. Dart went on to observe, ti;at the s•ins of Mr. Wellesley were sent to Drayco:, the family seat, tinder the care of Mr. Pittman, and with the approval of Mrs. Wellesley. While the sans were at Draycot, a cnrrespondence was kept up between them and the father, of which his Learned Friends on the other side had only stated a part. In that correspondence, Mr. Wellesley told his son to let it be his first duty to take care to have so much respect for himself, as never to utter a falsehood, and to avoid that lisle cun ning which always degraded the character of a Gentle man. He likewise told him to imitate the by-gone and leading characters of the day, and amongst others introduced Mr. Sheridan, for the purpose of shewing how his brilliant talents were degraded by the total want of economy. In some of his letters to Mr. Pittman, he requested - that these young • gentlemen, as far as regarded their religious education, might be confined to reading the Book of Common Prayer and the Bible. He would now read to his Lordship a letter in Mrs. L. Wellesley's own hand-writing to Sir It. Church, which would clearly shew how Mrs. Bligh came to be introduced to Mr. Wellesley's house, the letter was as follows ; " Deal Sin Bulimia—Forgive me for taking the liberty of re questing you to send me the address of --, it being my inten tion to call on Mrs. Bligh, and I wish to make my first visit without the knowledge of Mr. Wellesley. My reason for doing this, is, that an ill-natured world may not have it in its power to say, that Mr. Wellesley has influenced my conduct in any degree on this subject." The Learned Counsel observed, that in this state of things he apprehended his Lordship could do nothing more than refuse the prayer of the petition, which asked the interposition of the Court, which interposition when called for was most useful, but which, he considered, when granted at the request of third persons, always turned out to be mischievous. . Mr. Hunts followed on the same side, and observed that his Lordship would have considerable difficulty in deciding between the conflicting affidavits of Dr. Bulimic) , and Mr. Wellesley. These circumstances might operate more or less to degrade the children, if his Lordship was to consider the evidence as not deserving credit when contrasted with the testimony of Dr. Bulkeley, The Loan C.nancant.oa, interrupting the Learned Counsel, ob served, he could not proceed any farther with this matter today, as he was obliged to go to the House of Lords. LENT ASSIZES. KINGSTON, Mucn 17. Marlin Green was indicted for wilfully and mall ciously shooting at Wm. Beddowe, with a pistol loaded with powder nod balls, with intent to do hint some grievous bodily ha.m, on 20th January last, at the house of the said Mr. Eeddowe, Addington-place, Cam berwell. He pleaded Aot Guilty. The evidence not being substantiated on account of the absence of Mr. Beddow, the Jury were directed by Mr. Notrx, who sat for the Learned Judge, to find a verdict of IVI4 Guilty. Charles Walker was indicted for robbing John Kite, in the Kent-road, of his watch. The Jury, without hesitation found him guilty, and the Learned Judge passed sentence of death in the ordinary manner. . Heavy Sharp_ and Charlotte Goodall, were indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to and burn ing the dwelling-house of Thomas Willoughby, butcher, at Egharn, on the 10th January last. Mr. Willoughby stated, that at various times he called for his rent, but the answer he got was, that having taken the goods, it would be double the value out of his pocket ; that on the night in question, at eleven o'clock, he was at home in bed, and on account of an alarm of fire, he went out and saw the,prisoner Goodall, with her back to a' post, laughing; that the prisoners were tenants, and he could not get his money ; and at the time Sharp's house door was opened, the bed and bed-clothes were removed from the usual place up stairs', to the lower apartments:" they lay on the floor ; neither Sharp nor Goodall rendered any assistance in quenching the fire. Thomas Smith, brother-in-law to the prosecutor, who was on a visit at the time, fully corroborated the prose cutor's statement ; and also, that on opening Sharp's door, the smell of brimstone and gunpowder was very strong ; the smoke was thick, and that witness got a pail and endeavoured le quench the fire ; the boards-of the flooring were burnt near the partition which sepa-. rated the prosecutor's residence from the ptisoners. A number of witnesses were called to prove that the premises were on fire, and that the prisoners did not. lend any assistance in quenching it. The Jury without hesitation found the prisoners Guilty, and the sentence of Death was passed on them. EXETER, Manor 16. ' Warwick Guy Prout, a genteel youth, only 16 years of age, was indicted for stealing 5001. the property of Thomas Husband and others, his masters. The prosecutors are bankers at Plymouth. The pri soner was taken into their office on liking, with a"view to his being a clerk ; but nothing definitive was agreed upon. His situation gave him access to' several parcels of notes. On the 2d of February he took out four par cels from a drawer ; but on compunction or some other feeling he replaced two ; with the other two he abscond. ed, and took a post-chaise to Exeter, where he very freely began to spend the contents of the parcels, which consisted principally of 51. Bank of England notes to the amount of 3001. He was taken and transmitted to Plymouth for examination. On searching him nothing was found ; but on searching the room in which he was confined the remainder of the notes was found rolled up. These he confessed be had secreted; having concealed' them in the collar of his coat while he_was searched.— He said also that he had no complaint to make in respect of his treatment in the bank; that he bad been brought into his inifortunes by bad 'comeny and a roving •dis position, which had long induced him - to reiolie On going for a soldier. Ins counsel took an objection tc the indictment; contending that he was not a servant or clerk at the time of committing the offence, so as to be within the Act of Parliament on which the indict ment was framed, and upon which, if convicted, he might be sentenced to 14 years transportation. Tlw Counsel for the prosecution declined arguing the point, aban • dosed that specific charge, and rested the case upon the single felony. After a short summing up from the Jaws who said he really ' knew nut upon what point to raise a doubt in favour of the prisoner, the Jury returned a 'tardier of Guilty. The prosecutors recommended him to mercy; but Mr. Just►ce GAMER said, that his public duty pre vented his yielding to the recommendation. The prose. cution throughout had been conducted with great humanity ; for the • prisoner might have been indicted for stealing in a dwelling•house, which was a capital offence, and would have certainly led to sentence of death upon him. As he was still a very young man, there were hopes that he-might, by a removal from his' bad companions, and an alteration in his, conduct, become a useful member of that society from which justice and policy required that he should fur a time be withdrawn. The sentence of the Court was, that he should be transported for seven years. The prisoner, who had behaved throughout the trial with great propriety of manner, bowed his head, apparently with shame and gratitude, and was immediately conveyed away. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL, r It is not generally , known that a hackney tiratbman ealittoikt punished for exacting * more than the legal fares on the testimorat of one witness only. Yesterday, the driver of the hackney coach, Nn. 4/, was charge 4 with exacting ls. more than his fare, for carrying Mr. Cowling, of the Poultry, front Burrows's-buildings, in the Surrey-road, to..hie own house. The charge made was Ss. Mr. Cowling was not in a skuation to have proved his ease, he not having called in a witness to the exaction ; but the coachman admitting he had demanded rather too much. and pleading id his excuse his inexperience as a driver, was conVicted on his ewtt confession. Mr. Alderman BLOWN mitigated the penalty to 10s. and remit= ted all expenses ; and Mr. Cowling handed his moiety-of the line to the coachman. BOW-STREET. The driver of the hackney coach, No. 195, was yesterday roe: mooed to answer the complaint of Ansi Craworthy, of Stamford ; street, Blackfriars, fur refusing to give up a reticule which she bad left in his co..ch, containing a SS note, live sovereigns, a diamond and garnet rings, and other trinkets. The defendant denied all knowledge of it; and no proof being adduced to the contrary, the Magistrates were obliged to dismiss the cise. ' Mr. . A. Johnson, of No. 19. Nelson-square, complained of hit having been robbed of a very valuable gold watch and chain, oti Thursday night, at the pit door of the English Opera House; and of the total darkness of the pit passage, robberies nightly occurring there from that cause. Yesterday, a lad named Thomas Ws?lianas, who stated his age to be thirteen year., was brought before the Magistrates, from a watch-house, where he had been taken the night before by a Mr. Tower, in edford-atreet, Covent Garden, who found him between nine and ten o'clock, extended on the steps of his door in a state of complete exhaustion, from the combined effects of csld, hunger, and fatigue. The story told by the poor little fellow was, that his father and mother died sometime ago, and that his uncle, who lived al Devizes, kept him fora short time, but got tired of doing so, and gave him a shining, and told him to go to London, and seek his fortune. He was indebted to the kindness of a waggoner for his passage and food a great part of the way, but when he arrived in London he had no where to go, and wandered about until hunger and cold deprived him of the power of moving farther, and he sunk down upon Mr. Tower's step. Mr. Tower stated that the boy seemed all but dead when he first found him. The Magistrates ordered the boy to be taken to St. Martin . * watch-house, and well fed and clothed, and when be had bad time to recover his strength they would have him brought up azAin, and do their best to provide for him. The boy seemed very sensible of the kindness shown to him. QUEEN SQUARE. W. Jones underwent a final examination on the charge of the ex tensive robbery at the Hon. Henry Stanhope's House, in Hans-place. Miss B. Wilkinson stated, that she resided at No. 5, York -street, Hans-place. On the evening in question the saw the prisoner running, followed by another man, when he (the prisoner) threw something away, which sounded like keys; she instantly told the watchman of it. She did not lose sight of the prisoner, and *save hint apprehended. Charlotte Grove, waiting-maid to the Hon. Mrs. S. in addition to her former statement, said, that after ,the last examination at this office, on her searching the attic, she found several matches, which corresponded with those discovered on the prisoner by May bank, the constable. This closed the evidence, when the Hon. Henry Stanhope, in the absence of Mrs. S. identified the property produced, and, with the ether articles, calculated his loss from 701. to 80/. The prisoner was committed. WORSHIP-STREET. Juke Chick and George Burke, two young fellows of notoriously bad character, were finally examined before Mr. Banters., on a charge of daring robbery committed on the person of Mr. Wardle, of Lad-lane, Cheapside, silk-manufacturer. The facts stated in evidence were the following: Between ten and eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, the 7th instant, as Mr. Wardle was passing the corner of Type-street, Funbuty, the pri soner Chick, coming behind him, pinioned his arras, and held him while the other prisoner, Burke, drew a valuable gold watch ani appendages from his fob and rap off. Mr. Wardle, as soon as he could free bimielf from his assailant, ran in pursuit, calling " step thief!" and Chick was caught in the act of concealing himself in a dust-hole in New-court, 'Moor-line. -The-following morning, Mr. Wardle, in company with an officer, went to the Salmon and Ball public house, Bethnal-green where. there were about a dozen men (among whom was the prisoner Burke) playing at skittles. Mr. Wardle immediately pointed out Burke as the person who had robbed him, and he was taken to the watckhosse and searched, but nothing was found upon him. No trace of the property has yet been discovered. Mr. Wardle stated that the watch was a very valuable one, which he had taken in the course of business for a had debt of 30 guineas. The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate tOr trial. TIIAMES OFFICE. Thomas Oyler, a carpenter, in the employ of Messrs. Cubitt, builders, in Gray's-inn-lane, was yesterday fully committed to take his trial at the approaching sessions, for stealing a quantity of nails and other articles, the property of his employers. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Tuesday, an Inquest was held at the Fox and Bull; Knightsbridge, on the body of James Harding, the , circumstances attending the death of whom excited great interest and occupied the attention of the Cot over and Jury three entire evenings. The Jury had required the assistance of a surgeon to aid them in coming to a decision, and this was refused by the parish. officers.— The Coroner, therefore, after some strong comments on their extraord:nary behaviour, drew up the following special decision, which met the approval of the Jurors : " That the said James Harding was accidentally run over by a cart he was in ; that he was afterwards taken up and lodged in Knightsbridge watch•bouse, as an in toxicated person; that he died in the said watch-house ; that there was a seen wound or hole in the pit of the stomach, as also an old wound on the head ; but as to the cause of his death no evidence appeared before us Jurors, although we have adjourned twice for•the pur pose of obtaining the advice of a medical Gentleman, for which the parish officers of St. Margaret's, West minster, were applied to, but refused to furnish one." An Inquisition was yesterday taken at the Rose and Crown public house, on view of the remains of an Irish labourer, named Dennis Sullivan. In eliciting the or cumstances connected with his death, the Jury had a discult task, as the witnesses not only came forward reluctantly, but gave their testimony in a very contra dictory style. The body, which lay at the house of the deceased, presented the most appalling spectacle, and exhibited marks of the severest personal violence. It appeared that the deceased had been beaten by some of his countrymen with a bludgeon and other weapons, when going home on Saturday night. at a late hour, from the house where the inquest was held, and that there had previously been a quarrel amongst them.— The Jury brought in A verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Florence earthy, Dennis Coriliy, and Florence Ilryon. The two former are in custody, but the latter has absconded, and the police are in pursuit of him. Yesterday, the dispatches fir St. Helena, Prince of Wales Island, Singapore, and China, by the ship Mar go is Camden, Captain Fox, were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship. The splendid town residence of E. H. BALL HUGHES, E.g. in Upper Brook -street, was sold yesterday at the Auction Mart, for 10,4001. The house cost the late proprietor, Mr. HUGHES, in erecting the magnificent dining saloon, and other improvements, 22,0001. The &masa frigate, arrived at Portsmouth, from the Sandwich Islands, has brought home a great collection of valuable subjects of natural history, with surveys and drawings of various groups of islands in the Pacific. A Parliamentary paper sta:es the estimate of the sum wanted to provide for the-salaries of Consuls abroad for the present year, and contingencies affecting the same, &c. at 52,3701. It is stated in the York Chronicle, that upon an in quiry into the affairs of WasTwortrns' Bank, it has been ascertained, that a surplus will remain, after pay ing 20s. in the pound. The silk manufacturers of Macclesfield. finding they have no chance of compassing their ends with Minis ters as far as regards a continuation of the prohibition on foreign silk goods, are now setting their hands to work again almost as fast as they before stopped them.

Tuesday morning last, about five o'clock, a very alarming fire was discovered in one of the Corporation Silk Mills, Derby. These buildings were erected about the year 1718, by Mr. John Lombe, who having, with great perseverance and at much personal hazard, suc ceeded in possessing himself of the Italian processes for throwing Silk, established these works on a piece of land, surrounded by the River Derwent, which was leased to him by the Corporation. They are now in the occupation of Mr. William Taylor, and it was the building which was used for trimming, and in which were also a few looms, recently introduced, in which the fire broke out. From the difficulty'of approach, the fire engines were worked to great disadvantage ; there being, however, an unlimited supply of water, the building was not entirely destroyed, though it has sus tained considerable damage. A large portion of the roof fell in, and two floors were so extensively injured, that they will require to be completely restored with new materials. Much of the machinery being of a portable kind, was , removed, but all the looms were destroyed. Fortunately, the stock of silk in this quarter of the premises was unusually small, and the chief part of even that was saved. BIRTH.
