4. HYMENEAL AGENCY-OFFICE. PARIS, Mu 9. The Court of Correctional Police was yesterday occu pied with a case of rather a singular description. In the plate usually occupied by criminals stood a young woman of a most graceful figure, and whose dress was in the utmost degree reeltercla. Madame Houdard (the name of the accused) was no other than the presiding divinity at a eels iorateff agency office for marriages, which she has lately established in Paris, where sbe has out-rivalled several ethers of the same clam. She has for some time been offering to gentlemen tired of celibacy tender companions for life, ladies of known discretion and high respectability, gifted in a moral light with the most desirable qualities, and in the worldly sense, with marriage portions of from 100,000 to 500,000 francs • consequently, it may be *inlay imagined bow her office was beset with applicants. To believe her own account, she has brought about some of the most fortunate and advantageous matrimonial en pagements. Her services, however, were not to be ob tained gratis. In order to obtain her favour, and a place in her report, it was absolutely necessary to become a rebecriber to her list for three months. By virtue of this subscription, entered upon beautiful rose paper, and a payment of 72 francs, Mad. Houdard engaged to exhibit to the subscriber, for the space of three months, all the youngladies whose hands, hearts, and fortunes, happened to be at her disposal. Her truly benevolent occupation waa,however,interrupted by a disappointed wine merchant, who preferred a complaint against Madame, charging her with swindling. The complainant will be better under stood in his own words:—" I applied to Madame to procure me a wife (said be with a half-simple, half-sly look at the accused) • she instantly said to me AA mon Dieu, Monsieur I:axard, you have just come in time; I have just what will suit you; there is now at my dis posal a most lovely creature, a sweet young widow, who has lately buried her husband. She is related to an emi nent counsellor, and is every thing a man can wish for. —As to her fortune, c'est superbe ! c'est magnifique ! 150 000 to 200,000 francs, and a quantity of other pro perty.' I immediately said I should wish to have all the particulars and terms. Madame told me that the first step was to become a subscriber, and pay 72 francs. This 1 complied with, but after waiting anxiously for some time, nothing was effected, and I was told that a great deal of delicacy was to be observed in bringing the matter to a happy issue. At last I was invited to dinner, where the gay widow was expected to make one of the party. I went at the hour appointed, having taken care to dress in the best style. Shortly after my arrival at the office, a young female, elegantly attired, made her appearance and joined the dinner party. I subsequently discovered that this doctor's widow—this niece of a counsellor as she was described to me, was no other than Madame Aldegoude, a semstress, and something worse. I soon had little doubt that Madame Aldegoude made a livelihood by lending her services on these occasions ; but wishing to see how far the farce would be carried, I pretended to be anxious to bring matters to a conclusion. She made a thousand ex cuses and hesitated a great deal ; and I at last received • letter, which gave me to understand, in very plain terms, that my visits would not be acceptable after that period —that the counsellor, her uncle, wished to marry his niece to a gentleman in the treasury." Mdlle. Bonhomme, formerly servant to the accused, was called as a witness by the complainant. She stated, whilst she was in Mdlle. Houdard's service she saw se veral gentlemen come to the house in order to get wives ; and whatever gentleman came, the same lady was pre sented to him, and that lady was Madame Aldegoude. When two or three gentlemen happened to come at the same time, Madame Aldegoude, after seeing one, made some excuse, and retired to another room, where Madame Houdard introduced her to another candidate. When the gentlemen went away, these ladies amused themselves, and laughed heartily at their expense, observing, how many more fish were caught in their net. President—Have you known any other person com plain of having been deceived in this way ? Witness—Oh, several ; and amongst others, a tall strapping serjeant-major of the Royal Guard. Madame Houdard said to him upon his first application, " Come, Monsieur, turn about. I must examine your figure, in order to see if you will match the lady I have in my eye for you." The accused, on being called on for her defence, de nied the charge altogether, declaring that she had effected several marriages amongst persons of great distinction, and whose names she would mention but from motives of delicacy, and if not prevented by the confidence reposed in her. The only thing that hindered the complainant's marriage, was the bad account which she received con cerning his character, and therefore she was not surprised at his wishing to be revenged. With respect to her ser vant, it was the complainant who induced her to quit her place, and she heard that he had since been taking par ticular care of her. The Court, after some consideration, were of opinion that the facts did not amount to swindling, according to the meaning of the 405th article of the code, and dis charged the accused. This young woman was so over joyed at hearing her acquittal, that she fell into a swoon, apd was removed from the court in a state of insensibility. A DELICATE COMPLIKENT.—Pennant, in his ac count of Baby Castle (Lord Darlington's), says, " I dined hem, the old Duke of Cleveland with us, a cheer ful old man, and in conversation very far from an idiot.'• AN M.P. IN AN AWKWARD PRIDICAMENT.—The NortheneWhig says, " We fear there are,few Irish mem bers whose connexions with the ministry will prevent than from joining in the efficient course of opposition new preparing in London, to resist the iniquitous impost pro posed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Amongst those volio are thus circumstanced, stands Lord Viscount Cas dereagh. Should he vote against ministers, his place in the Adogralty must go by the board; and if be abstain from rang on either side, or if he place himself in the ranks hostile to the existence of the Irish press, away goes all reliance on his constituents in the county of Down. A meeting of the inhabitants of that influential *ire is about to be held, to enter their protest against ibo Goulburn scheme ; they are marshalling under the dirotioos of Colonel Porde, who intends to contest the twenty at the next election ; the Colonel's present proce dure hi a popular one; let Lord Castlereagh, therefore, look well to it, before he lends his support to the minis try, egsinst the evident interest, and expressed wishes of the people. For so far, we have no desire, nor indeed oesee, to quarrel with Lord Castlereagh ; nor do we owe mo th to Col. Fordo. He is one of our repentant eman cipators. But, as Lord Castlereagh must be well aware, Mat self-defence is at at all times justifiable, let hie lord-- shiß draw the sword against the press and We shall fling aim the scabbard. We shall see how the Members for Downpatrick and Carrickfergus will -vote ; aid if there be one virtuous principle • remaining in those boroughs. they will cost from th em, with disgust, the individual who shall sell not only kis country's good, but the pliple's ?try meow of free diatamioa, for a mess of pottage. DEMOLITION OF HURLEY PRIORY. The ancient mansion of Lady Place, near Henley on Thames, is about to be demolished ; but the recollection of past events, associated with our national history, will survive its ruin. The situation is singularly beautiful and rural, close to the bank of the Thames, and hence it was fixed upon by the world-denouncing ascetics of the mo nastic period, as an appropriate place for retirement. The hall of Lady Place, a curious specimen of the domestic architecture of the 17th century, occupies the site of the conventual church, and some of the vaults, which have a crypt-like appearance, remain in their original state.— Lady Place was the seat of the Lovelace family, and in the reign of Charles 11. and his bigoted successor, was the rendezvous of many of the nobility, who then began to think that before public affairs got better they must become worse. This fact will, perhaps, be better ex plained by the following inscription on a black tablet in one of the vaulted recesses : " Dust and ashes—Mortality and vicissitudes. " Be it remembered to all that the monastery of Lady Place, of which this vault was the lotuial cavern, was founded at the time of the great Norman Revolution, by which the whole state of England was theDged. " Hi motue animerum ' atque hoc certamina tanta , pulveris nisei jactu compress& quiescunt." Be it also remembered that in this place, GOO years afterwards, the revolution of 1188 was begun. This house Ina then inthe scales of the family of Lord Lovelace. by whom private meetings of the nobility were assembled in this vault; and, it is said, that several consultations for calling the Prince of Orange were held in this recess, on which account this vault was visited by that powerful Prince after he had ascended the throne. Be it also remembered, that on the 20th of May, 1700, this vault was visited by General Paoli, Commando of the Corsicans in the revolution of that island." Adjoining this, upon another tablet, is the annexed memorial : - - - - - - " Be it remanbaed that this place was visited by their Majes 14tiesth Xing Georg November,e the Third and Queen Charlotte, an Monday, the of 1785." In the house are some very fine paintings on the panels and ceiling, said to be the work of Salvator Rosa, the greater part of which must be inevitably destroyed in the general ruin. The house is the property of the Hon. Mr. Flower ; and the materials are to be appropriated to the repair of some neighbouring farm houses. NZIVNARIET SECOND SPRING NESTING. Newmarket, Thumlay Night.

Several of the Limerick and Cork weavers, who were sent by the Relief Committee' to Manchester, have pro cured employment ; but numbers are still wandering about the streets in a destitute condition. One of the poor fellows, an aged man, who has two sons, dropped down dead last week, on the road between Liverpool and Manchester, from exhaustion. _ _ A new and very considerable burden is to be thrown on the citizens of Dublin, by the erection of Richmond Hospital into " a District Lunatic Asylum." It is to form an asylum for the county and city of Dublin, and " such other county or counties as may be constituted a district for a lunatic asylum." The expense, to be levied by grand jury presentment, is to fall both upon county and city, which are already burthened with jury tax to the amount of nearly 50,0001. a year.—Morrung Re gister. MIRACULOUS FACAPE.—As a lady and gentleman, with two attendants, were passing on Friday over Crock ford Bridge, near Chertsey, which is remarkably steep, in a post chariot, one of the horses becoming choaked, upon gaining the .summit, reeled against the wooden railing, which gave way, and dragged the other horse and carriage over the edge of the bridge into the water, with a tremendous crash, the height of fall being fifteen feet. Fortunately for the perilous situation of the par ties, a waggon with its drivers was passing through the water below the bridge, who rendered immediate assist ance, and rescued them from their dangerous state. The travellers were conveyed back to Cbertaey by the prompt assistance of the landlord of the Swan Inn, where they were immediately attended to by Mr. Smith, who pro awned their state as free from danger, although much binised. The horses were but slightly hurt—the carri age was broken in several places. ,4)aorc tat's INQUEST.—Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, an Inquest was held before Mr. STIaL ow, at the Cadogan Arms, Sloane-street, Chelsea, on the body of Ann Gardner, aged 65, wheal death was alleged to be occesioned by the brutal treatment of her husband. The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against the prisoner, who was committed to Newgate, and the parties bound over to prosecute. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICLCHANCRLLOR'S COURT—Fairoax. TYLZR V. DRAYTON. The evidence on the part of the defendant Drayton having been gone through, Mr. KNIGHT was heard on the same side with Mr. Horn. He divided the tran sactions detailed by the evidence into two parts; one of which related to the proceedings anterior to 1801, and the other to the facts included between the dates of 1815 and 1819, when Griffith Jenkins died. With respect to the former part of the cue, he contended that it was sa tisfactorily made out that there was no ground for suspi cion of fraud or concealment. So far from any conceal ment having been used, the defendant Drayton anxiously pressed Jenkins to give him a mortgage for the amount due to him. The correspondence which passed between Jenkins and Drayton, previous to the former sailing for India, proved incontestibly that Drayton had no desire but to repay himself for the moneys he would be out of pocket by the advances made to Jenkins, and the result of the transaction proved that Drayton himself would have been over-reached, had not Jenkins come forward, in 1816, and honourably executed the deeds which were the foundation of the present suit. The learned counsel alluded to the confinement of Jenkins within the walls of the Fleet Prison, and to a letter which had been written by this young man, during his confinement, in which he requested that he might be set at liberty as soon as pos sible, and that his debts might be paid without delay. The arrest of Jenkins had been with the kindest inten tions, and it was proved in the result that no course could be pursued more calculated to insure his welfare. It had been alleged on the other side that Jenkins was an idiot, and utterly incapable of managing his own af fairs. This drunken, idiot private, was declared by the plaintiff's bill to be incompetent to judge or think for himself, and was the main point upon which the plaintiff's case depended. The letters of this young man, which had been read in Court, proved that he was, although addicted to low society, capable of the highest and most honour able feelings. In a letter of the 29th of Nov. 1807, this young man wrote to his grandfather, just previous to his departure, in the most kind conciliating terms, and in language which would do credit to the head and heart of any man. In this letter he described in a feeling manner the unkind treatment which he had received from his grandfather, adverted to the difficulties which he had suffered, and in a touching manner earnestly en treated his grandfather to take his mother under his pro tection during his absence in a foreign land. Previous to his departure Jenkins also wrote to Mr. Wilde (the present Serjeant), expressing his gratitude for the kindness which had been shown to him, and urging Mr. Wilde to write to him before he left England. These letters were expressed with a degree of sense and feeling which, while they on the one hand disproved the assertion of the plaintiff, showed that he was neither destitute of sense or gratitude. The Learned Counsel afterwards ad• vetted to the transactions which took place after Mr. Jenkins's return to this country, and regretted that the name of Mr. Serjeant Wilde had been drawn into these proceedings. He was sure it was most painful to the Learned Solicitor-General to have made any obser- rations which reflected upon the conduct of any man, and more particularly upon that of Mr. Sergeant Wilde, who stood so high in the profession. The learned counsel next drew the attention of the court to the fact which had transpired after the return of Jenkins to this country, and contended that the defendant had acted most fairly and honourably in the course he had pursued. So far from wishing to compel Jenkins to execute the deeds, he had urged him to give him a mortgage for the whole debt. It was not until late in the year 1816 that these deeds were executed, and thus the most respectable names were introduced into the arrangement. Not only Mr. Ser jeant Wilde was one of these parties, but Mr. Alliston was one of the commissioners by whom the fine was levied. Could it be supposed that gentlemen of such high cha racter and respectability would have lent their names to such a proceeding ? The learned counsel concluded a speech of great length by calling upon the court to dis miss the bill with costs. Upon every ground of justice and of honour the defendant had satisfactorily disproved the case attempted to be made against him, and it was hoped, without citing cases, of which many might be given, the court would refuse to listen to the bill. The further hearing of the case was postponed until to morrow ; Mr. Sidebottom will then address the court upon the same side with Mr. Knight and Mr. Pepys. Mr. Jacob and Mr. Flather will subsequently be heard. The case will not be concluded to-morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 11. wiLsox T. WHITAKER. This was an action brought by the assignees of a bank rupt, against a sheriff, for the value of goods of the alleged bankrupt, taken in execution after an act of bankruptcy. The act of bankruptcy and the trading were clearly proved, and the plaintiffs had a verdict for the amount. But a rule being applied for and obtained, to show why the verdict should not be set aside, it appeared that the trading and act of bankruptcy proved in the cue, were before the puling of the Bankrupt Act of the 6th of Geo. IV. by which Act no pre-existing trading or act of bankruptcy could support a Commission. The verdict was, therefore, set aside, and a non-suit ordered to be entered. REX V. JEER. This matter was again cursorily mentioned, it being stated that the defendant sent letters of accusation to the Secretary at War, but that he believed they were all signed. The Court could do no more than to grant the Rule to show cause why the defendant should not be al lowed to inspect the letters ; and Mr. Brougham said 'that they, on behalf of Col. Hanmer, would be ready to show cause to-morrow. EXPARTZ —.—The ATTOaNIT-GENERAL, 011 behalf of a gentleman whose name he concealed, ap plied for a writ of certiorari, to remove the record in an indictment at the Quarter Sessions in this Court. The gentleman was a very eminent person ; and he thought it right, for the present, to refrain from mentioning his name. An accusation had been preferred against him be fore a Magistrate by a female, and the Magistrate dis missed the charge. The woman then went before the Grand Jury, and they found a bill against the gentleman. It was of great importance to him to have the record removed, and to have the case tried by a Special Jury. —Writ ordered. IN THZ MATTZIi or JOHN WALICZIL.Mr. CAMP BELL moved for a rule to show cause why an information In the nature of a quo warrant() should not be filed against John Walker, calling on him to show by what authority he claimed to act ai a freeman in Litchfield. There were eight Guilds or Corporations in the Borough, of which the Tailors' Company was one, and of that Company Walker claimed to be a freeman. There were three ways by which freemen could be made—lst, by being the eldest son of a freeman ; 2d, by 'erring an apprenticeship of seven years to a freeman of the trade ; 3d, by serving seven years in the trade, though not with a freeman, and compounding. Before 1801 some persons attempted to become freemen by other means, but they were all ousted. Of late years. , the attempt had been renewed, and this was one of them. —Auk, granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Tax Nsw PoLtcs.—Yesterday morning a police constable st F. division, and two females, reste d, rather than walked, into this office, and having reached the table at which the magistrate sat, abruptly came to a stud-still, and would have remained ie Osa condition, but foe Sir Rrcnrian Mainz who demanded to Wle what had brought him there ?— The con st able, with some difficulty, explained that one of the females was accused with having wronged the other. Sir IL Bram—What is the nature of the charge ? Constable—The charge, your Worship ; why, your Worship, the ehargo—that is, your— Sir IL Brawrz—What is the charge, man; come, speak if y. can ? Constable—Well, then, your Worship, the charge i s a c h arge of felony—of felony, your Winship. Sir R. Brawsz--What sort of felony, man ? Constable—That sort of felony what consists in stealing th ee here two =Opt end OW apple, your Worship. Here they are your Worship, be continued, pulling them out of his pocket, and throwing them down before the Magistrate. Sir IL Ricurtz—Man, I don't want them t: why throw them down before me in that manner ? The clerk observed that the trio (constable and accused) were a u amok. The constable was about to discuss the point; but Sir R. BIM' IS (Wend him and the woolen to be turned out, re . marking upon the conduct of tbe pollee in i n terferin g in such pat:, nonsense ; adding, that if men were allowed to be drunk whil e ot duty, little else was to be expected from them. MARLBOROUOH-STREET. A woman was brought before E. Glatirrvrus, Esq. by a sew policeman charged with attempting to drown herself in the Riot's Canal on Wednesday evening. With great reluctance she stated that her name vu Ellen ifiashigh Evans, but would not say where she lived s that she bad been under the protection of a rite?. chant in the city, but refused to give his name or address. She also said she had borne him eleven children, six of whom were living, and having learnt within these few days that he had formed an at. tschment to another lady, her existence had become intolerable to her, and she had therefore formed the resolution of destroying herself. Mr. Gamma said, that under these circumstances, she muu be taken proper cars of, until further inquiries could be made about her. A young man in fashionide attire, and of rather ?genteel ap. who gave his name Williams Joon, was brought befor e s t drl7.lll uing Magstrate, charged with the followi ng su d s . dacious s It appeared that about seven o'clock on the previous evening, the =called at the house of Lady Strong, in Grafton.street, met, and inquired of the @errant who opened the door to him, if Lady Strong was at home ? The servant replied in the afEr. make, but said she was then engaged: upon which the prisoner said, that, however, she would see him, as he wished to speak to her Ladyship on some very urgent business, and requested the servant to take up his name, which be gave as Mr. Grant. The servant supposing that it was some gentleman who really had some press. kg business with her Ladyship, was proceeding up stairs to the drawing-room, to annouoce Mr. Grant's name, when, as he had al. most got to the landing.Oam, he thought he heard a jingling noise, as if of silver, in the hal4 and on looking down over the bannisters, be saw the prisoner coming out of the parlour, and making towards the street door with great speed. The servant then ran down and detained the prisoner, until a police constable was sent for, who on searching him, found in his pocket a number of silver spoons, and other ankles of plate, that he had taken from the sideboard in the parlour. When the prisoner was searched there was also found on him list of subscribers to a no doubt pretended charitable fund for the relief of a person named Grant, stated to be in great distress ; and amongst the names in the list, appeared that of Lord Stowell, who resides in the very next house to Lady Strong, as a subscriber of fiveguineas. Clements, the officer, who had charge of the prisoner, waited on Lord Stowell with the list, to know if his lordship knew anything of the prisoner • but his lordship, after looking over his book of charitable donations, found that there was no such names es Gram or Jones fa It; and, therefore, that be could not have subscribed as 2r=ted la the prisoner's list, as his lordship kept a n account o f les disbursed in that way. The prisoner declined giving any explanation either of the letter or of the subscription ; and he also refused to tell where he re. sided. lie was, be said, a gentleman by birth and education, and by profession be was an artist; and for having been led, he said, into the commission of the Wince charged against him, and, per. haps, many others of a muse kind, he was indebted to one whom it was not necessary to name ; but the fault did not entirely rest with himself. - - The Magistrate said, that the present charge was quite dear egoist the Omar, but still it would be advisable to remand him, as raw if the awe became known, it might lead to some (usher dualities of the plorme's num The prisoner was asesangly remanded to a future day. THAMES POLICE. Juvstrixic y, two hsawrigible young thieves, named William and Thomas Films, whose united ages could not amount to more than 16 years, were brought before Mr. Baouzatr, charged with plundering the barges on the river of a quantity of coals. Forty, the surveyor, said, be found not lees than live locsbels of the best Goals, in lumps, in the boat belonging to the primers. Mr. BRODIRIP sentenced the prisoners to fourteen day.' in. isottnet and hard labour, at Brixton, and ordered their boat w bane.be NEWSPAPER ECONOMY.—In speaking of a forest, which was going to be enclosed, a country paper made the following remark : " This waste will be a great sav ing to the country." seemwessuwmeesmsem BIRTHS. la Graitoo.atreet, Bood.street. the lad_y of G.
