In the sittings of the Bth, 1 1 th, and 12th of August, M. Claveau, the Counsel for the husband, replied to M. Bennequin in the divorce cause "Desprez v Desprez'." " Madame Desprez," said he, " is beautiful, amiable, and witty; she has received a first rate education; plays in a most superior manner upon the pianoforte, and is something of a coquette." She had lived happily for. five years, when she became enceinte. Her temper now underwent a change.' After her accouchement she fell into a gloomy melancholy, took a strong dislike to her husband, and conceived a passion successively for two young men with whom she entered into a correspon dence. ' Here M. Claveau read some letters, in which ',Warne Desprez avowed 10 her husband the "sernti ment ardent yet pure" which she nourished for him.— One of the young men, a physician, advised her hus band to allow his wife' to quit the conjugal roof for a time, for the benefit of her health. M. Desprez having consented to this temporary absence, his wife wrote to him a letter, in which she says—" from this day, Sept. 10; 1823, r renounce my husband, and refuse to have any personal communication with him, the consequence of which will of course be, that. I can have no more legitimate children provided he will leave me my own sntstress." Soon after Medanno.Desprez was sent to Charantoti (the French Bedlam), whence she wrote again is her husband, speaking to him respecting her connec• don with these two young men, and declaring that she hid only acted as she had done with regard to them, because she had riot a single being to whom she could confide her sorrows. She was dismissed as cured, and bl..Desprez thought at first that she was become sane; he deceived himself, she was meditating a divorce.— Nearly thirty allegations had been made by Madame Desprez: how had they been proved? The blow? Was that proved ? No! The oath of conjugal fide lity taken on the gospels? Not The threat to throw hir out of the window? Not The menace said to be made in the coffee-house of cutting off her hair ? No! That of thrusting out her eyes and disfiguring her beauty ? Nol Madame Desprez pretended that her husband made her get up toe early, that he bad re proached her with going to Engbien to look for a gal lam; that he spat in her face on one occasion, and that he made her sink under ill-treatment on the 16th of May, 1824; that he had said a man Mit beat his wife, provided he took care not to murder her; that he had regretted that he had not broken one of her arms, adding, that he should have been let off for a fine of 16 francs. Not a single witness bad deposed to these facts. He had spitten repeatedly, she said, in her face; he had accused a librarian of being his wife's gallant, and had threatened to throw an Abbe out of the window upon a similar suspicion. Not s Toad of proof of all this. There temained three facts of no great consequence, insigni &sat inahemselves, and by no means proved. To these three witnesses were brought, a father-ia-law, who had admitted baying beaten his son-in law; a mother-in law; and a widow, who bad had a child after her hus band's decease. t is for you to say how much credit too may choose to attach to such witnesses. These in juries have been charged to him alone. But they were mutual according to one of the witnesses, and a servant bad deposed that her mistress had sung to the piano a song, commencing, " My father has given me a bus bead who is a rogue end a dwarf; and that M. Desprez cook his hat and went out. As to the black eye, not a single witness had seen the husband int ct it. The me dical man did not know whether the wound was an ac cidental er a pretended one, and declared that he was unable to speak positively on the subject. What would Clete be surpri4ng in MadameDesprez, who, according to the misters of Chessmen, bad once attempted sui cide, having hurt herself against a window, or some piece of furniture? M. Claveau then opposed the counter evidence of many witnesses who attested the g ood conduct of Mons. Desprez towards his wife. He read some letters, which went to prove that there was, en his part, no wish for a separation. In one of the first she says to him, " I am your wife, and you will listen tomy entreaty. (This was to leave her the child). — Answer, answer, my friend. Adieu. adieu. I thank you for the little box. You remember the taste 1 bave for miniatures." " What," said M. Claveau, "is this an enemy speaking thus affectionately to her tyrant, and accepting prexnts from him?' In another letter she'solicits an interview with her husband. " It is easy," she says, " to comprise in one half hour's conversation snore than in ten or twelve letters. You fear, they tell me, that you shall make me ill by your presence. I have lived six years without you, and yet I exist. Besides, 1 can never forget that you are the father of my Laura." More recently she writes to him—" Unhappy man! you hare never known the desire of love I I charge upon you all the faults which I have committed. I owe you nothing more. You have silenced the voice of religion, which cried out to me that I was your wife ! You are ignorant how much weakness there is still in my heart. Alas! on Sunday. at five o'cloik, I held my portrait., which I had had painted, in my bands, without daring to examine my heart. I found an indescribable pleasure ia thinking now it will not be for you ; I am going now to deprive myself of the opportunity of offering it to you. This ring, symbol of an unfortunate alliance, I will cast from mine eyes. Adieu! adieu ! For the last Cute. adieu r Lastly, M. Claveau read a letter, in which Madame Desprez desir es t h at t h ey may not be judici ally separated. " No, you shall not, MOM interesting sponse!" exclaimed the Advocate in conclusion ; " this tribunal will condemn you to bc happy with a husband who contends against you with reluctance, and awaits Ton with inspaimmir Afters reply from aed emober from 4 ll.t Ms rid ttfrl" saimalPed for a week, tolredes srliaff MURDER. One of the most savage --1.-- nsurclers that has been re corded for years was perpetrated on Tuesday last, at Brighton, by William Burt, who killed his child; only three months old, and attempted to assassinate his wife. A Coroeer's Inquest was held yesterday upon the body of the infant, and a verdict of Wilful Murder was re corded. He is now in the black hole, doubly ironed., Burt has been married upwards of twelve months to his present wife ; about six months back he attempted to murder her with a poker, at which time he inflicted , several seve;e wounds on her skull, for which he was committed ; but the wife not being able to appeir against him from ill health, hi was ,liberated. on his brother's recognisance that he should keep the peace towards his wife. Ever since the wife. has refused to live with the prisoner, from an apprehension that he would murder her, as he had repeatedly threatened to do so.- The unfortunate woman has been for some months (since the birth of her infant) in the woithonse at Dichlingoo which parish she belongs. On Sunday evening last she came over to Brighton, to spend a week with s her mother, an industrious widow, residing in Wobtirn place. On Monday the prisoner was seen lurking about the neighbourhood by the old woman, who inquired of him if he had anything to say to her, or her daughter, to which he made no reply, but walked away.- About two o'clock on Tuesday the wife went out to callow a woman in the neighbourhood, and im mediately after she entered her friend's room, the hus band rushed in after her, and commenced putting his diabolical purpose into execution with a shoemaker's knife, which he had concealed in the sleeve of his jacket. He stabbed his wife in both temples, in the breast and side; he then stabbed the child in various parts of the body, inflicting seven distinct wounds, two of which were in the abdomen. The last wound was in the child's thigh ; the knife passing through the bone, it stuck so fast into it, that in attempting to pull it out the handle came off, by which means he was prevented from instantly dispatchinf o t o ll i e ; .wife, who by this time had fallen from loss of b there being no weapon in the room, he attempted to complete his horrid design by kicking his victim in the thro . it and head. At this moment the woman of the house (who was absent at the time the parties entered the room) made her ap pearance. and on seeing what was going on, cried out " Murder!" Mrs. Burt, on hearing the voice, made a supernatural effort, got on ber feet, and darted out of the room, with the child in her arms, and ran into a house nearly opposite, the door of which was open, where the poor creature fell almost lifeless; the infant was taken up by a woman who was present, in whose arms it expired in heady minutes after. Mrs. Burt was conveyed to her mother's, when surgical aid was in stantly procured, and the wounds dressed. At present she is despaired of---indeed it is the opinion of the star• geons that she cannot recover. In the mean time, several neighbours, on hearing the cry of " molder," rushed into the house, and secured the murderer, who made no resistance. The poor woman, in endeavouring to ward off the blows of the knife from herself and her infant, received a number of wounds in her bands and arms. Burt is a journeyman shoemaker, and a native of Dichling, about eight miles from Brighton. RolligaT 07 MI BIRMINOII/111 Tamarac—Tuesday I morning it was discovered that the Theatre had been broke* sato, and the whole of the cash receipts of the previous night, amounting to upwards of SOW. stolen from the treasury. The villains had broken open ado ,r next to the stage-door, passed over the back of the stage, broke open the treasury door, and a closet which con tabled the key of an iron box, from whence the money was extracted. No clashes been obtained to the robbers. A trial for murder is about to commence before the Court of Assign at Riom, which is expected to rival in interest the famous trial at Roder.: The circumstances of the crime are equally atrocious, and the evidence is iovolved in similar mystery. The prisoners amount to six, and were all, with one exception, the relations of the person assassinated, whose body was thrown during the night into a well, in the public square of Maoism The murderers eluded for a long time the pursuit of justice, by frightening the only witnesses who could reseal their crime. One of these witnesses was even I compelled to observe secrecy by an oath taken on the altar. More than 100 persons are summoned to speak , to circumstances affecting the life of the pritoners. A launch took place on the litth inst. at Marseilles,; of a frigate of 60 guns, built for the Pachd - of Egypt.' A detachment of troops attended to preserve order' during the operation. The pernaistion given to the Riche to build ships of war in French ports has little appear- ante of neutsality in the war which he is carrying on i against the Greeks. On the morning of the 17th instant, Sir Wm. Elliet's butler was found dead in the river near the Castle. He,' had gone to fish on the preceding evening, and it is sup- 1 posed that he had been seized with a fit, which termi nated his existence, as the river was quite shallow where his body was found. At the battle of Senelf, the - bravery of the Prince al Oraige (afterwards William III.) led him into the mid dle of the enemy, when, becoming sensible of his' error, he, by a peculiar presence cf mind, gave the word of command in French, which he spoke perfectly well. But the French soldiers, who took him for one of their own Generals, making answer that their powder was all spent; this intelligence encouraged hiin to persist in the attack, after he had taken the first opportunity of with drawing to his own troopss An Act of Parliament in 1454 notices, " that there had formerly used to be six or eight attorneys only for Suffolk, Norfolk, and Norwich together ; that this number is now ineteased to more than eighty, most part of whom, being not of sufficient knowledge, come to fairs, etc inciting the Feople to suits for small tres-, passes, kc. wherefore there shall be hereafter but six for Norfolk, six for Suffolk, and two for the city of Norwich." A match of cricket was played on the Eastern Hill, Hastings, on Saturday se'nnight, between three first rate players from Beisenden, and three excellent crick eters of Hastings. The game terminated considerably in favour of the-former. Thursday, a well contested foot race of 0 rods was run on Braborne Downs between Mr. J. Huckstep, of Elham, and Mr. Skinner, of King:north, for 40f. which was won by the latter, beating his opponent three quar ters of a rod. The well known speed of both men caused much betting.

BOW-STREET. A fat little elderly man teamed Ryder, a harness maker at Dock head, appeared before Sir RICHARD BIRRIR yesterday, and requested his Worship to grant him a warrant against Mr. Webb, the resident Director of the " London Brick Company" in Lancaster-place, Waterloo Bridge. Here Mr. Ryder stopped, and Sir Rieman Bums asked what offence Mr. Webb kad committed ? Why, your Worship. said Mr. Ryder, a long time ago I sold to the London Brick Company some second land harness, for which they owe me 71. 15s. 4d. and I can't grt the money from them. It's 'very hard, for I've got amongst a great many lately; and it was not my own fault altogether in this case, fora neighbour of mine recommended Mr. Pritchard, their agent, to me. Sir Ricua RD Baum asked him where he had made application for his money? He said be had been to their brick-field at Peckham almost every day since, but it was of no use ping there any more, for there were eight brickmakers and a lawyer always in- tho 4e1c1,. and whenever he went to ask for his money, the brickmakers only bowed, and brought the lawyer to hint.—(Here Mr. Ryder laughed, and so did everybody rise). Sir Menem) asked him why he did not take poesesdon of his harness again ? Ryder—l can't, your Worship, for the barman Is always on the horses. and the horses are always in the clay-mill, and the brick makers and the lawyer are always in the field! Sir RiCISA RD smiled, and told the applicant he could give him no - Ryder—Have I your Worship's authority to go and fight with them for it? Because, if I have your permission, I will soon /ow the whole squad the next time I go there. The simplicity with which this was said made every body keel Win ; and Sir RICIMILII told him that it was his duty to prevent breaches of the peace, and not sanction them.

The wife was very loath to part with the defendant, although treated so shamefully by him, and implored the Magistrate to discharge him. The application for his liberation war, however, re. jetted, and the defendant was committed to gaol for want of sureties. QUERICSQUA RE ESTRAORDDIAIT COMMIS OT Footer.—Yesterday, the following extraordinary ease occupied the attention of W. A. A. Warts, Es* the sitting Magistrate, nearly the whole morning. Two respectable young men, named Mathews and Taiga. Gentler men's servants out of place, the ftsrmar lately in the employ of Right Hon. George Canning, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, we charged with stealing Nth. of cheese; also 6s. 6d. the balance of half sovereign, the property of O Mn George Harris, a chee monger, in King-strect, Westminster, under these circumstances: It appeared, from the evidence of Samuel Stokes, a shop-boy Mr. Harris, that on Saturday evening, about half-past nine o'd the accused.

Your W oo , ship, I have very little to say, I am Innocent of the accusation, and know no snore about it than a child tuatara. The fart is, When I was spoken to last night on the *hint, Mr. Harris then oared to arrange the matter if I would pay for the cheese and return thi change, which I most certainly refused, and told them I could larlag witnesses to prove I wis elsewhere. I gave the constabke my ad: dreµ and be let me go at that time. Rhodes, the constable, stated that he went into the public bottle with the boy, who pointed out Mathews among a number. He called Jahn out, when be was accused of the robbery, hut he denied it. The accused then gave his address, and he set him at liilerry. About eleven o'clock the same evening. in consequence of the other accused man, Talbot, abusing Mrs. Harris, witness aid her bus. band went to a pshlic.hoese, and took both into custody. Mr. Wares—Then you let a man go about his business at half. past nine o'clock, and because another person abuses Mrs. Harris you think proper to take both tato custody at eleven ; surely th e crime could not be greater than the fir s t. Tor seem w kuow very little of your business as a constable. Rhodes—l certainly acted from ignorance. Henry Alerrit, servant to Lk.

The dress that Mathews wore was white stockings and a cap, but be could not speak to the jacket. Mathews had repeatedly been to their house for medicine. Robert Clark, clerk to a solicitor, uw Mathews about ten o'clock, at his brother's house in Charles -street; he requested him to in form his brother, a footman to the Right Hon. Gentleman. and %vim had sent him for the medicine, that it would be sent very soon. Mathews wore the dress ha now appeared in. Stokes, the boy, was repeatedly called, and cautioned if ha was positive of the person of Mathews, and strongly insisted he was the same man. The Steward to Mr. Canning said that Mathews had been In the Man. Gentleman's service for above &to years and a half; he Will a job coachman, and repeatedly employed to go to Mr. Shuter'sfee medicine, when wanted. The Right Hon. Gentleman left tows on Sunday, and therefore the job horses were not required. Mr. Wisrut-4 am inclined to think the boy I. quite mistakenia the person of Mathews; but the lad positively swears to him, there fore it is my duty, Mathews, to hold you in sureties to be foethcoas ing should any charge be preferred against you at the Ses.ions. Two persons instantly became responsible, and he seas set at liberty. With respect to Talbot these was no charge whatever. Yesterday, a Miss Harriet Wifsow, a young woman about 19 years d age, was brought up for final "lamination on charges of robbing a number of children, boys and girls, of property belonging to their parents, and was fullytomnaitted. THAMES POLICE. Aka Thirst, Captain of the schooner Hill. appeared to answer to a summons founded on an information of Thomas Simpsey, skew cause why he did, on the 2d of July last, refuse to receive on board his vessel John Pentin, a licensed pilot, contrary to the Mb seed= of Geo. IV. cap. 125. The Solicitor of the Trinity House attended to support the in. formation. He addressed the Bench, and said, that ender the 77th section of the Act, be claimed that the defendant might be con victed in a penalty double the amount of what the pilot's legal fees were; provided he should be able to pro* his case. He thee called James Pekin, who stated, that on the 2d of July last, be saw the schooner Hill going down the river under sail. She was pro• ceeding on her voyage. He went on board, and asked him where he was going to. He said to Hamburgh, and was laden with mer chandise. He offered to take him down the river. His reply was, that he was competent to navigate Ids own ship. He at the elate dine had an unlearned pilot on board. Mr. Bottmerniz asked him what he did when the Captain re fused to permit him to pilot the vessel? The Pilot said, he immediately came on shire, and in doing so, 4 took her depth, which was about fie feet, and Wirers on piloting her would have been se7 10s. 4id. Mr. BALLAWANZ said, he should be glad to hear any defence that could be made for the defendant. The owners of the vessel appeared, and stated that they relied on the 59th section of the Act, whereby it empowers all British vessels •having a British register to trade inwards and outwards without a pilot, provided they are constant traders from the poets between Boulogne, inclusive, and the Baltic, whilit within the limits of the ports to which they belong. After much discussion, and on referrieg to the several clovers of the Act, Mr. BAUAlffilllt was of opinion, that while trading inwards the Act applied, but outwards, as was the case in the present instance, it precluded them from the benefit of that clause under which they sought relief... Gamely, the 59th section. The Soho:hoe for the Trinity House stated that he took the opi nions of the Attorney General and Mr..Berjeant Bosanquet upon the question, sod lie should juet trouble the bench with reading their opinions to the following query Whether vessels belonging to the port of Loudon fall within •the exemption given by the St i► section of the sth of George IV. whilst they are within the hairs of that port?" ' "We are of opinion that vessels belonging to the port of London, are excluded from the exemption given by the 59th section of the 4th of George IV. whilst they are within the limits of that pun. (Signed) " J. S. COPLEY. " Sergeant's be, July 5." " J. B. BOSH NQUICT:' Mr. Bau4seruni perfectly concurred in the opinions given by the Attorney General and Mr. Bosanquet, and therefore irk it his duty to beim t►e penalty ander the 77th section of the Act, that is, of double the legal fees which the Pilot would have been entitled to: be therefure convicted the Captain lu the penalty of 151. 9d. being double the amount of the Pilot's fees, at the same time deducting 40s. for the coats from the penalty.
