MR. COBBETT'S NORTHERN 7►OUR. ~'•:ls'`{~, I • On Monday, the Ist of February, I delivered the third lei t%re at Sheffield ; and, on Tuesday morning, or rather, nuon, set off for Nottingham through Chesterfield and hia;isiield, carrying with me the most grateful recollec titai of•tho very kind treatment which ['received at Shef field; and my son and daughter not forgetting the beau tiful eight which they had beheld in those exhibitions, called the show-rooms in that place of wonderful inge nuity and industry. The weather was very severe when we left Sheffield, and we saw the poor partridges in the fields very lord pushed for any thing to support life. I eaw one covey amongst a flock of sheep, living upon the seeds of the hay which had been given to the latter. The, sheep themselves. do not mind cold and snow if they have food, but, in many places, they were scraping the snow in order to get at the grass. They are of the Leicester breed, and, in spite of the weather, seem to look very well. As we proceeded on towards Nottingham, we found :he country more a farming country, with large barns and ricks about them ; and, until we came to Sherwood Forest, it seemed, as far as we could judge, to be a coun try rather fertile than otherwise. We arrived at Notting ham about six o'clock on Tuesday evening, and found a committee of gentlemen ready to receive us, and to give es an invitation to a public breakfast to be held the next morning at nine o'clock, in the Thurland Hall, which is said to have been the banquetting-room of King Charles the First, and which, in some sharing of the good things of this country, fell to the. lot of the fortunate Duke of Newcastle, who is also, it seems, the present owner of a fine tract, called Nottingham Park, and of other for merly crown property in and about this ancient and beau tiful town. The breakfast took place at nine o'clock in the morning of Wednesday, the 3d of February. There were present not much short of two hundred gentlemen ; and this, never having seen one of the parties before in my life to my knowledge, except two gentlemen from Derby and one from Manchester, I felt to be the greatest honour that I had ever received in the whole course of my life. Here was no personal attachment at work ; for none of the parties had ever seen me that I knew of : it was purely the respect shown by this number of sensible and well-educated men, not to me personally, but to those exertions for which I had endured twenty long years of calumnies from all the bribed and base reptiles of the country. I felt the full weight of this upon my mind, when I rose to say a few words in the way of thanks for the ho nour conferred upon me ; in those few words, I observed that the mere getting upon the table was enough; that they, the.company, were too well instructed to need in struction from me ; that my business there was to show them the man who had so long fought, and at last over come, the hydra of stupidity and oppression; and that their business there was to join me in rejoicing upon the _ . occasion. The breakfast itself, upon any occasion, would not have been of much value to the far greater part of us ; but it was, in all respects, worthy of the do nors, worthy of the town, which, in almost all respects that I can mention, exceeds all the towns that I ever saw in my life. A fine, most extensive, and most beautiful market-place; lofty, strong, and neat buildings; elegant shops, clean-dressed people, active and intelligent men, and sprightly and beautiful women. The environs of the town are as fine as the town itself. Open on all sides; fine prospects ; the town itself presents great inequality of hill and dale ; and all this without any of that beg garly, any of that squalid misery, which to me has been the great drawback in the merits of so many other places. As to my own treatment, and that of the members of my family who were with me, it would be invidious to make distinctions, .in a case where the kindness, the hospitality, and generosity, have been uniform; but, at Nottingham we had more leisure, the tour being, in some sort, at an end ; and the attentions which we received were in pro portion to that leisure ; and excited in a particular man ner, perhaps, by the hoarseness which I still retain from my cold 'caught in Yorkshire, and which seemed to re quire more than ordinary attention. Where there are so many persons to whom so many acknowledgments are due from me and my family, I am restrained from naming any ; but every one will be well assured that hie or her kindness to me, and my sons and daughter, have been duly appreciated, and will never be forgotten. After three lectures on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night:, we prepired to quit Nottingham for Leicester; but, before we came off, it being Saturday, and the mar ket day morning, a gentleman took me to see the meat market, which was the finest, with regard to the quality of the meat, its cutting-up, its cleanness and every other thing belonging to it, that I had ever seen in my life. This is a matter of which I am a very competent judge, having seen the London markets sad that of Philadel phia, and being a great connoisseur with regard to the article of meat. I saw here a greater number of fine sirloins of beef than I had ever seen in any one market before. After I got back to the inn, I hankered after one of these sirloins of beef, went back, had it sewed up in cloths, and brought it to London. It was not one of the largest size ; but, with the third part of the suet left in it, it weighed 61 lbs. and was whiter and fatter than any one of the same sire that I ever saw before. The butchers told me that the oxen were bought in Lincoln shire, and that a great part of the sirloins had that morning been sent off to London, sewed up in cloths. I have always sought for this Lincolnshire beef in New gate market : it comes sewed up in cloths, the rump and sirloin in one piece. We got to Leicester, through very rough weather, on Saturday evening, Gth of February, and I intended• to give a lecture in a work-room which had been prepared fot the purpose 7 but we had omitted to write from Not tingham, and, owing to that omission,•no notice of the lecture had been given. Our friends wanted us to stop until Monday ; but my appointments at home rendered that impossible. On Sunday morning, the 7th of February, we found that a thaw had come in the night ; and when we got to Birchill, were we slept on Sunday, we found there bad been a heavy rain. On Monday morning, we set off for Kensington, finding less and less snow as we aproached London ; and when I got to Barn-Elm, which I did be fore it was dark, scarcely a bit of snow was to be seen ; so that, during the fifty-three days of my absence, the frost and snow lasted all but the last day ; thus terminated a journey of 667 biles, during which I made seven and twenty speeches, occupying, in the whole, about sixty one hours, and returning on the very day that the frost broke bp, and made it, in some measure, necessary that I should be again at home—Register. • A fire broke out about six o'clock on Saturday morn ing, at the Waggon arid Hones public-house, opposite the Alms 'Houses, Newington. Information of the car- CUlnatanCe was received by .the firemen at the moment they hid: extinguished the fire. in Chester-place, and they, with a body of police, repelled to the spot with the engines. A considerable quantity of 'property was de stroyed, put the peonies sustained only partial injury. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING.

General (with whom were Mr. Campbell and Mr. Paterson) stated the cue. The plaintiff in this action, Mr. bpyer, was a young gentleman of respectability. On the Ist of August last year, he went, in company with a friend, to see an en tertainment at the English Opera-house, of which one of the de fendants, Mr. Arnold, was the proprietor ; the other defendants were Bond, a Bow-street officer, and a person named Hart, who had the charge of the private box department. The plaintiff and his friend went to the pit-door, and being informed there was ample room, they paid their money, but they soon found that the pit was so completely filled that they could not get a place, nor even an op portunity of seeing the stage. Conceiving themselves deceived by the representation of the money-taker, they, perhaps improperly, got into one of tire private boxes, where they had ;rot long been when they were ordered out by the defendant Hart. The plaintiff ob jected to do so, alleging that they had been deceived by the repre sentation of the :person at the door. In a few minutes after, 111 r. Arnold, who was accompanied by Bond, the officer, insisted on their quitting the box ; some altercation took place, and eventually a scuffle, in which the plaintiff received a blow, which formed the ground of the present action. Witnesses being called in support of the case opened, Mr. BROUGHAM (with whom was Mr. HUTCHENION) replied on be half of the defendants, and contended that whatever injury, if any, the plaintiff had experienced, wu wholly attributable to the violent derznent of himself and his friend. TzwrzlinEw summed. up, and the Jury found for the plaintiff.—Damages 40s. HICKINROTHAW V. THE EARL Or PIPE. This was an action to recover a sum of 3001. the rent of a house in Berkeley-square, which his lordship had hired from the plaintiff, at the rate of ten guineas per week. His lordship denied his liability. After the declaration was read by Mr. KELLY, the Counsel on the other side consented to a verdict of 2911. odd. COURT OF ARCHES, Fen. 13. (Before Sir JOHN NICHOL.) DIVORCE.—CALCRATT r. CALCRATT. On the opening of the Court this morning, the case of Calceaft v. Calcraft was called on for hearing and sentence. It was a cause pro moted by Granby Calcraft, Esq. for a diverge against his wife, Emma Calcraft (tutmerly Miss Love,) by reason of adultery. The cause had stood for hearing some time, and has been the subject of much conversation in the theatrical world. Dr. LUSHIKOTON whom was Dr. ADDAMS) stated that he appeared as Counsel for the husband in this cause, which was a suit of divorce, promoted by Mr. G. Calcraft, against Emma, his wife, for adultery, which it would be proved had been committed by her with Lord Harborough. The parties in the cause were mar. ried on the 15th November, 1828, and it would be recollected that Miss Ennui Love, the party proceeded against, was then, and Is now, an actress of some talent and celebrity. Capt. C.'s circumstances, however, were, at the time the marriage was contracted, not in such a state as to allow bim and his wife to live together imme diately after their marriw, and Airs. Calaaft continued her en gagements under her maiden name, and lived under the roof of tilier, but was constantly visited by her husband, Captain Calcraft. About the middle of the month of July, 18 6 A - 111 n. Caleraft bad an engagement to perform at Nottingham, and she in consequence, went down to that place in pursuance of such engage- Meat, but remained in Nottingham only a few days, and it was soon afterwards learned that she bad eloped with Lard Harborough, who had been in the place some days. His Lordship and Mrs. Cal. craft proceeded to a cottage s i tuate d in Stapleton-park, which was on a portion of his Lordship's estate. From the affidavits given in, it would be found that an adulterous Intercourse was carried on with little or no concealment. Whoa Mrs. Calasfe had Dodos given to her of the course about to be adopted by her husband, and was served with the process of the Court, she did not deny that she was the person referred to in the process, and, in fact, admitted her identity. As it was understood that it was not intended to offer any opposition to the prayer made by his client, the Learned Civi. lian ebougbt it would be wholly unnecessary to enter into any argu. ments in the ease, but he would pray the Court fee sentence. Dr DODSON ((wi th whom WAS Dr. P ICKARD ) appeare d en b e h a lf of Mrs. Emma craft. Ile did not think be could at all argue successfully spinet the ease which had been submitted to the court by Isle learned friends, and would, therefore, decline nuking any observations. Sir JOHN NICMOL then proceeded to pass sentence. He said be had read with great attention the evidence adduced in this cause, and he was not at all surprised that no steps had been taken to offer any defence to the charges brought against the wife, it appearing to hint that her guilt bad been esta blished in the most clear and satisfactory manna. Pratt* of the solemnisation of the marriage bad been given by a person named Sarah Whitby, who had been meant at the dinar and it was" oleo Frayed by the entries in the paisftboake of Se. fl ow n. It was also In proof, that though the marriage of Mn. W end t was k ept secret, and that she continued to perform, yet that• b ur ke e k ett g e kb e g her.—. From the erldsna of the eerviint, Sena Whitby, these was every reason to suppose that eM T ' suoWt was consummated. In order to entitle the husband to the rel which he prayed for, this fact ought to be proved to the ads. ' faction of the court. With respect to the elopement of Mrs. Cal craft with Lord Harborough, the fact was proved by a coachman in his lordship's service, named Cooke ; and the circumstance of Mrs. Calcraft going to the Cottage in Stapleton Park, and receiving constant visits from Lord Harborough, was also fully and satisfac torily proved by the evidence of Sarah Whitby and Cooke. The identity of the party bad not been concealed, as when the citation of the Court was presented to Mrs. Calcraft, at the house in Stapleton Park, she replied immediately, " I am Emma Celt-raft." All the necessary facts had therefore been fully proved, and the Court must therefore pronounce for the husband in this cause. Sir J. Nrcuot. then signed the document for the divorce between Mr. George Calcraft and Vilma Calcraft, his wife. SHACIALLY O. 811•CICALLY. This was also a suit of divorce by reason of adultery, brought by the husband against the wife. The parties are of high respectabWty, Mr. Charles Peter Shaokally being the son of a gentleman of large fortune in Cheshire, and his wife, Laura Applique Rosabella Shackelly, connected with many noble French families. The adultery was alleged Lollare taken place with the Marquis Derma, a Spanish nobleman. The Judge, in giving sentence, remarked that this suit was en tirely ex-parte, as the wife had been served with two notices of the proceedings against her, but had taken no notice of them. Judgment of separation pronounced. COMM ISSION OF LUNACY. _,_ ....... A Commission of Lunacy was executed on Saturday at the Sheriff's Office, Red Lion-square to inquire into the state of mind of John Mowitt, thirty-two years of age, son of a builder, ' 1 at the west-end of the town. Mr. llowitt is now residing at the house of Mr. Wilkinson, a surgeon. in Oats-street, Li n . 1 coin's Inn-fields, and from whose evidence it appeared that) Mr. Howitt had formerly been in the business of a wine. merchant. During the last twelve ninths he bad resided in Mr. Wilkinson's house, and his conduct during that time af. forded sufficient proof of his insanity. When be had a slight misunderstanding with his wife, and she refused to acknowl edge herself, in error, he would take up a rasor or knife, and attempt 1 to cut his throat. If contradicted he would apply the moat insult. ing language. One day, when at dinner, because there was no beer on the table, he threatened to stab his w ife. He seemed remarkably fond of poetry, and was in the habit of copying a great deal from different authorq, and passing them off as his own productions. Mr.' I si Wilkinson imputed his insanity to excessive drinkin of wines and spirits ; but Dr. Grenville and Dr. Sutherland said thought it proceeded from a wrong formation of the brain, and although the insanity appeared slight at present, it would increase as the patient advanced in years. Mr. Howitt was introduced to the Jury. He appeared in a state of imbecility, and returned the most childish answers to the ques. dons which were put to him. The Jury found that he had been insane since August, 1828. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Saturday a man named Was. Mostar was charged with an at. tempted robbe a r t y m uzn the house of Alessra. Morrison and Co of Fore-street, h hers.—Tbomas was remanded till Wednesday, BOW-STREET. Thomas Burns was charged with the following robbery :—H. Radnor, a waiter at Osborn's Hiitel in the Adelphi, stated that on Saturday morning about eight o'clock he went into one of the par. lours, and, on opening the dens, saw the prisoner in the act of jump. ing out of one of the windows, with a great coat under his ann. Witness jumped out after him, and took him at the corner of the Adelphi, with the coat in his possession. The prisoner was fully committed. _ _ _ _ _ _ Information was received at this Office that on Wednesday night, or early on Thursday morning, the house of Mr. }Westone i of Brunswick Terrace, Windsor, was entered by a gang of thieves, and plate to the amount of several hundred pounds stolen. A gentleman, who was attended by Mr. Alley as his Counsel, applied to the Magistrates for advice, under the following charm. stances:—The gentleman bad for some past resided in a lodging house kept by a lady, who represented herself as a widow, and for which he had agreed to pay a rent of 701. per annum. He had been there but a short time, when the lady requested a loan of 3001. for a few months, being (as she said) diarppanted of some re mittances from India ; she showed him the lease of her house, in which she was described as a widow. He was induced by her re presentations to lend her altogether 3831. taking her bills as security for the amount. When they became due they was dishonoured, but renewed from time to time ' the applicant still continuing to lodge in the house. At length, to his surprise, be was arrested for a sum alleged to be due to the husband of the lady foe board, lodg. Jug, &e. and when he mentioned the sum he had lent her, he was told that, according to law, he could not claim fur money ent to a married woman. He had put in bail to the action, which was still pending, and wished to know whether he could not indict the lady tor obtaining money under false pretences, he having advanced it in consequence of her representing herself as a widow. Mr. Betas directed him to make an affidavit of the above facts, and he would then decide what course be should pursue. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Luditielswas charged with having plundered his employer, Mr. Burgher; the tailor, of Clifford-street, of goods. Since the burglary committed on the premises of Mr. Burghart, be has been repeatedly robbed by journeymen In his employ, but, until the pri miner's apprehension his efforts to discover the thieves had been un availing. On Tuesday week a new frock cost having been stolen from the shop, and another having been missed on the following Tuesday, a search took place, and the prisoner betraying t agi. tation, was given into custody. He afterwards confessed confeaat he had stolen both coats and pledged them for £2 10s. He was fully committed. WORSH I P-STRRE T. Saturday, Mannar Cotton, was reexamined, charged with stealing a 501. 40/. and two St. Bank of England notes, from 111 r. Bilverthorpe, of the Boldfaced Stag, in Worship-square. The rob bery wu discovered on New Year s e.day, but suspicion did not at. tacit to the prisoner until some time afterwards,when she had quitted her place. She was recently pursued to Ireland, and apprehended at Woodkey. near tuarn, by the prosecutor, and Browne, a Wor ship-street officer, who obtained • n of SU. 10s. all that then remained of the 1001. James Power, second mate of the Dolphin convict shit) at Chatham, now produced three five pound notes and three sovereigns, which had been that day delivered to him by Mr. Capper at the Secretary of State's Office. Ho stated that this day month, (Sunday,) a female, whom he believed to be the prisoner, visited her husband, Cotton, who has been four years a prisoner at the hulks. It was an Instr.' riable rule to overhaul the convicts after they had been visited by friends, to ascertain whether anything improper, (such as spirits, &c.) had been given to them, and on this occasion, t e convict being overhauled when he re-entered the ship, produced three sovereign. Witness said to him, " That is a good lot of money," but the con. vict said he had more than that, and produced three U. notes. He said that the money had been given to him by his wife, who told him that it bad been given to her by some friend. Captain Lloyd 1 being informed of what had passed, suspected something wrong, and after some inquiries, forwarded a communication to the Secretary of State's Office. ther witnesses gave evidence, and the prisoner was remanded. -------- UNION-HALL Friday Robert Mott, William Ross, G. Marti*, and Thomas Jameson, were brought up by Sergeant AK:laugh, of the new co suspicion of being robbers of church. yards, and part of a police, gang that goes by the name of " Vaughan's A policeman stated that between two and three Art the nsornMg he saw a chaise cart, in which were the prisoners, coming along Hem-street ; he went up to them, and enquired what they were doing out ar such an early hour; they said they were farmers' servants, just come up from the country.
