Cover or Aursamis.—Yesterday, a Court of Alder then was held for the dispatch of a variety of important public business. A petition was presented on behalf of Mr. John Bleaden, from a number of inhabitants of the Ward of Coleman.street, against the return of Mr. Griffiths as one of their Common Councilmen. wAt the last St. Thomas's Day, Mr. Griffiths was elected by a majority of twelve, over Mr. Bleaden, who, before he as sworn, objected to him, on the ground that he was thetigible to serve, he not being an inhabitant house %older, resident in the Ward, sufficiently long to be a Oonrinon Councilman. Mr. Wilks, sen. the solicitor, women." ttended with a counter petition for Mr. Griffiths, but on calling for the petitioners, none appeared to support t. The solicitor then regoested that he might be allowed Ito pre ent it on the next Court-day. Mr. T. Saunders, ,he solicitor to Mr. Bleaden, objected. The Lord Mayor :ecided, that it could not be received after that day, Inch was the one appointed. The Court deferred the ie,ring of the legal arguments upon the petition. A painful scene was witnessed, a few nights ago, in the neighbourhood of Islington. As the driver of a '!hackney-coach was proceeding, at a moderate pace, don n the road, to talc • up a party at one of the theatres, horse, belonging to Mi. Ball, coach proprietor, of Islington, was suddenly se.z 11 with %hat is called the marl staggers. The coachman perceiving the symp toms bet, eyed by the pool t , animal, immediately alighted, and released it from its traces, with the intention of leading it hoe e. It had not, however, proceeded far, before the horse sprang from his hold, galloped cff a short dis . ance, and then fell down in the middle cf the road, opposite the Angel Inn, where it lay for a.consi derable .ength of time, uttering the most piteous groans. After plunging about in the lowest apparent agony for serval asimetas, it, by a violent ffort, regsined its legs, rod trotted down the road about the space of five hon. died yards, when it again fell, in a state of exhaustion. Ad rffots to restore it having proved unavailing, it was at length th tight right to put an end to its misery.' vhich was d .re by cuttingits throat. It was said to have b eii a lie horse a few years ago.

Your Llrdship does no: n-ed to be told that you are an English Judge. and the public does not want to be told with what sim plicity of mind, with what profoundness of learning and e►,.borateness of research, all your judgments are, formed. Passing by this, I shall now proceed to state' ' 'the substance of these affidavits. The Learned Attorney then proceeded to thit of Mrs. Hedges, who stated, that she had frequently been employed by Mrs. Bligh to carry letters to Mr. Griffiths, fur Mr. Wellesley, and having on them the initials of Mr. Wellesley's name.— There were a variety of other affidavits; among them were some which, however, did not disclose any new material facts. The Attorney General concluded by saying, " that taking the whole into consideration, he did not think that Mr. Wellesley was a fit person to have the custody of his childien." Mr. Satanism. &Unwed on the unto side, and read the affidavits which have been recently filed. The Learned Counsel insisted that the affidavits sworn in reply to Mr. Wellesley proved that he had sworn that which was untrue. Mr. Wellesley here interrupted Mr. Shadwell. Mr. Suauwata.•-1 stand hete as the advocate of my clients, and as Counsel I will sot be intimidated by any person in the discharge of my duty. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read a letter written by the late Mrs. Wellesley to her father-in-law, Lord Ma- eyth,r,nisti, in which .be describe; thecondnetof berbusband to be such as to prtibibit her or any of her family noticing him In future—that he was now beyond all hope of ame .dment ; and in a paragraph in the same litter she says, " he has made me the victim of 1111411)am women." [Counsel here read a copy of a ktter found in a house which Mr. ellesley and Mrs. Haigh occupied, but which was left by them, and delivered to Mr. MO as his property. This letter Captain' Nigh permitted the defendants In this case to make use of.] The LORD CUANCILLLOS said, Counsel night read the letter if they thought proper. M , . SHADWIELL then read the letter. The contents we foibear giving. as the language was abominable ; but, di gracetul as it was, it was actually necessary to be read in Co Art. Counsel, however, stated tad he could now clear up that part of the letter written by Mrs. Wellesley to Lots! Maryborough, in which she stated s' he hai made her the victim of infamourwnmen ;" and in the letter lent by Captain Bligh, he there clearly hints at the nature of the malady with which he is afflicted, and the affidavit swot n to by the surgeon proves the disor der in his eye to be a confirmed case of ss syphilis," and that he had to undergo a course of mercury before the venereal tumour could be extracted ; that they were secondary symptonis, and the French and English sur geons in Paris were of the same opinion. Mr. S. then said it was clear what was the matter with Mr. Wel lesley ; and it was also clear that it was that disorder that induced Mts. Wellesley to state to Lord Mary borough, that he had made her the victim of infamous Mr. Wettest's' here expressed a feeling of horror, that such an imputation should be cast upon him. The Loan Cuascar.usa said, he did not understand that any such imputation had been nude; that a Counsel bad a right, however, to draw whatever inference he pleased, but he (the Lord Chancel lor) would form his own opinious. During the Learned Counsel's statement, an error was dis covered in one of the affidavits against Mr. Wellesley, respecting a letter written to Colonel Therm, when Mr: : Wellesley, in a tragical manner, shouted out- 4 Ha! Mar. The Loma Cmaitcattada, in a very decided tone, addressed Mr. Wellesley in the following words:—" Pray, 111 i. Wellesley, do act with decency; and if, Str, you du not treat the Court with respect, you must quit it." SBADWILL commented on the affidavit of Dr. Southcott, an eminent surgeon and oculist, resident at Dieppe, whose opinion Mr. Wellesley had occasion to consult, in the month of September, 1824. The affidavit was made on the 19th May last, and cor.cained matter, to which it is impossible for us even to allude. It also ap peared that Mr. Long Wellesley, under the advice of Dr. Southcott, proceeded to Paris, for the purpose of consulting Dr. Macloughlin and the Baron Dupuytren. The Learned Gentleman next adverted to the affidavit . , sworn by Mr. Weßeaty on 'Throaty 13,1826, in which he denied that be was living in a state of open or clan destine adultery with Mrs. Bligh. In another affidavit sworn by Messrs. Wellesley and Griffith, and dated the 28th of February, 1826. it was stated, deponent Wel lesley had returned to England some months back, and bad not seen Mrs. Bligh since that event. This affidavit also contained a denial of the fact of adultery. It must, of course, be admitted, that while one of the parties was res dent in England, and the other in France, no act of. adultery could, in one sense of the word, be committed. Yet, if prior to the time of their separation, the parties were living in open adultery—if, during the time that they were apart, measures were taken to renew their criminal intercourse, and if, after their re-union, they returned to the same state, then in a moral, no less than in a legal sense, would they be considered as living in adultery during the whole period. The LORD CHANCILLOR observed, that this was a very important point. If the parties acted in the way indicated by the Learned Counsel, then, although in lone sense, the words of Mr. Wellesley's affidavit were true when he disclaimed the adultery, yet, in another sense, they were untrue, as leading to a conclusion un warranted by the facts. The affidavit might be true in words, though not true in fact. Mr. Wellesley said he came to England for the purpose of having an in• terview with his wife. It was for the Court to recol lect the circumstances connected with the attempt to procure an interview, and then draw a conclusion. Mr. SHADWLLL then,went at considerable length into a review of the various affidavits presented on both sides, most of which have been given in the STAR, at various limes. and contended that the parties had been living in open adultery at the period al:eged, and that the several allegations charged against Mr. Wellesley and Mrs. Bligh were borne out in evidence. Mr. Shadwell stated, that ir. after hearing the case which the other side would make out in answer to this, his Lordship should be of opinion no adultery was com mitted or contemplated at the date of Mr. Wellesley% affidavit of the 'lBth February, he would admit no case had been made out, and the Court would be justified in removing the infants; but if his Lordship comes to a contrary conclusion, it would be impossible for him to entrust their education to Mr. Wellesley.— Under the existing law, where a father indulged in habits of drunkenness and other improprieties, the guardianship of his children could be taken from him. Now, what difference was there between drunkenness and adultery, as constituting disqualifications for ins parting a good and virtuous education? No vice was more odious in its nature, or more pernicious in its effects. In the words of a Poet well skilled its the ,o treat that suhjec;_•' It hardens all within, and petri fies the feeling.' Tne slave of such a eke was equally unfit to educate mid to [omen his children. What chance of a good and pious education had they at the hands of such a man? What would be their present condition—what their future pros ects, if, under the roof of their father, they were to have for their play• mate a bastard brother, and for their instructress a woman so degraded and polluted as the param itsr of their father? The Loan CUR/MELLOR observed, that among the children in question, so to be placed, there are girls as well as boys. Mr. SuanweLL—True, my Lord, there are. Even If, u might be suspected, from the tenour of Colonel Patterson 's affidavit, the parties contemplated marriage, the difficulty would not be thereby removed. The Loan CitaracuaLoa—Tstint intention made out, Mr. Shadwell? Mr. 9aaowasa.—No, my Lord. It is only my cnnjec:ure, tram some expressions that occur in the affidavit I have manila med. The Logo Cnaneect.oe—Hecause, if it were a founded con. jec ~,,, such an intention would materially affect the question of divorce when It eame before the House of Lords. Mr. SHADWELL observed, th•t even it it were as he suspected, it would not better the case; for supposing the parties tirktd, no Lady of rank, fashion, opulence, I or virtue, would hod communication with a female under the guardianship of a person such as the evi lence in this case proved Mrs. Bligh to be. Whether the parties c , ntinued in open or clandestine adultery, as heretofore, or became united in the bonds of marriage, it made no difference. In none of these cases could the children be safely entrusted to the lunch of the father ; not even the boys, for it was impossible to conceal from them their parent's shame—they must know something about it. They lived in a country which owed its peat ness to the wide and unlimited publication of eve' y sort of transaction. Whatever transpired was given to the world through the medium of the public press; and those children must inevitably leain something of the conduct of their father, and the character of the woman with whom be associated. Along with this, the c.mduct and example of their parent would be daily before their eyes., and it would be impossible for them to escape from their operation and effects. Either they must learn to detest that parent's actions, or to participate in his criminality. They must per ceive his errors, or el.e conceive that virtue was an empty sound, and the profession of it nothing more than hypocrisy. The conduct of Mr. Wellesley afforded no security that his children, if entrusted to his care, would receive that sort of education which they had a right to require, considering the respectability of their station and rank in life. He should not trouble his Lordship further than to state, that he had rigidly ad-1 hered to the facts he was authorised to adduce, and had not attempted to colour them in any manner, unau thorised by the nature ot , the evideace. He disclaimed to heap invective or abuse—he scorned it, on the head Of an individual, who, however well he might merit condemnation, should never experience such treatment at his hands. COURT OF CHANCERY—THIS DAY. tug WILMER CHILDREN. The Court was this day again crowded to excess as anon as the doors were opened. The LORD CHANCELLOR CRITIC to the Hall at ten o'clock, and immediately proceeded into Court. Mr. Wellesley again took his seat on the brnch behind Mr. Haar, and paid particular attention to the whole of the proceedings. On the case being called on, Mr. Piers ruse and spoke at great length on behalf of the infanta, contending that the only point that required consideration was—whether Mr. Wellesley was to be be ' lieved on his oath, when he was met by such a phalanx of evidence as that before the Court ?—The Learned Gentleman was left speaking. COURT OF XING'S BENCH, JAL 16. CONSIPSZAVN ZINO V. DIXON •ND 01111111. This was an indictment charging Richard Dixon, horse dealer, William Gray, attorney for Dixon, James Marshall, Gwynett, Nain, and others. with•aconspiracy, to cause the estate and effects of James Haszlien, a bankrupt (indicted with the other defendants), to be paid to persons who were not real creditors, and with causing and procuring Dixon and Marshall to be assignees for the purpose of preventing the due course of law, ant procuring the certificate of Haselden the bankrupt.— There were other counts, charging the parties with con spiracy to procure fictitious debts, in order to prevent the doe distribution of the bankrupt's effects, and reduce the fair dividends due to denefscle creditors. • This extraordinory case occupied many hours, and was supported by a number of witnesses, five or six of whom had been indicted for the conspiracy, and re leased this morning on condition of giving testimony against the principals in the transaction. the witnesses so released were a Captain Bayley, Gwynnett, Whetten hall, Oidy, Cox, and others. It appeared from the evidence that Haselden, who was a horse dealer in Coleman -street, had been pur chasing horses from Tattersall, Aldridge, and others, to a large amount. In the summer of INS the de fendants had meetings together at the Two Brewers, in London Wall, the Three Cups Inn, and other places. The result of those meetings was a concerted bank ruptcy ; Haselden was to be made a bankrupt ; bills of exchange were drawn, accepted by Haselden, and made payable to the defendant., Bayley, Whettenhall, and others, who bad never given any consideration for the same. After the bills had been accepted, they were proved under a commission of bankruptcy, when the parties signed the usual depositions. Dixon, who is a horse dealer in Barbican, and M .rshall, a person represented to be possessed of nb property, were made assignees. Gray acted on the occasion as attorney in the business. Gray and Haselden asked stitcher Bayley would act as assignee, but the latter refused ? One of the witnesses, Gwynett, who proved the ab rye tacts, stateJ, n his cross-examination by sir. Brougham, that he had been officiating Mister of the Ceremonies at Bath. He had al.o been in several prisons for debt. Atter the case for the prosecution had closed, Mr. S rgeant WILD addressed the Jury in behalf of Mr. Dixon, and contended that there was no evidence to prove his client had taken any part in the ne'alious transactions invuted to the other defendants. He was a bolo fide creditor, and had not been proved to have attended any of the meetings for the'creai ion of fictitious bills. On the whole, he had dune no more than every assignee was entitled to do. Witnesses were called to character; and after the other de fendants bad been defended by Counsel, the Lord Chief Justice delivered his charge, which lasted a considerabk time. At ten minutes paw one, the Jury found all the defendants Guilty, except Dixon and Millwood. Demerara Papers to the 13th November inclusive, have been received. The contents are not important.
