EXPAMTS CASTIELL I INI THE MATTER UV WENTWORTH, CHAI.ONRR, RUSHWORTH, RUSMWORTH AND IIARTLEY. BANKRUPTS. This was an amicable Petition, and had been already before the Court.--(See Tus &US Of Monday). The facts were simply these:-The bankrupts had long ca:ried on business as bankers in York._ The same parties (with the exception of Mr. Hartle) constituted the firm of another banking house at Wakefield. Be. tween the two banks vet y extensive dealmgs were car ried on—both stink under the difficulties with which the monied and commercial classes were visited last winter, and became bankrupts. Mr. Haar stated, for the petitionei s, th tt the. objects of the petition were twofold. It fir ,t prayed that the Yoi It bank might be permitted to pi ove, under the Com Mission against the Wakefield bank, fur the benefit of the creditors of the former firm, the deg due by tile Wakefield hank to them, amounting to 110.6821. secondly, th it Mr. Chaloner should he allowed to prove against the Wakefiele. bank, as a sep irate creditor, a debt of 46,'2471. due by them to him ; but, having been A partner in that house himself, he only prayed to be allowed to receive a dividend after all the oth r cre ditors shluld have been paid in full. '!'he question was, whether the late de:isien of the Eatl of Eldon contravened the general rule, that where two distinct trades are carried on, and that, having dealt with each other, each shall, in the event of bankruptcy, have a right to prove a debt against the other? In the case of - exparte Sillito, in the matter of Goodchild and Jackson:, his Honour bad decided that such ad I _ was proveable,and the Lard Chancellor adopted that decision, with this difference only, that his Lordship distinguished ! between a debt created by a laao 04 money and a debt growing out of dcalings in trade. He (11r. Hart) did not think there was anything in the law thus laid down which required that a dealing in " merchandise" shuuld have existed. In (spade Sillito, his L rd,hip had held that there had been no " dealing" bete ern Goodchild and Jacksons, and the Jacksons in their separate cap city. Goodchild and the J cksons had been bankers at Bishopwearmouth ; the Jacksons were also ironmon gers, which business they carried on in L radon, and in that character raised money on the acceptances of the banking firm, in order to support the tottering credit of the bank'; in this way the banking tirna had become debtors to the ironmongery conceit), but betws ern the 'two firms no " dealing' whatever had taken place, for the mere raising of money on the acceptances of the bank, and which money they handed over to that firm, did not constitute a " dealing ;" and, look;ng at it in this point of view (the light in which the Lord Chan cellor had regarded it), the debt due to the ironmongers by the bank was not proveable. The Vice CHANOELLOII---Tbb is, I believe, the third cue of the same nature now before the Court. Mr. Haav—it is. Lord Eldon, in its decision, has founded his judgment upon that of Lord Tmirlow, in " Expane Shakeshaft." The %runt Cumgcm.coa said the case was one of extreme import ance ; he would therefore give to it his ?Articular attention, and should not, at present, deliver his opinion. Judgment postponed. Mr. MONTAGU begged leave to state to the Court, that he believed he had succeeded in making himself master of the principle on which the Lord Chancellor had decided in •the case of Sillito, which appeared to him to be, that " a debt is always proveable by one firm against another, unless the dealing of each had beer for the hint benefit of all." The Foreman of the Jury wished to have' one'of the witnesses re-examined previous to the opening fur the defendant. Mr. Win. Perkin stated, in answer to questions by the Jury, be house was covered with tiles; I examined it all round; the several rooms were nearly all in the same state of repair; tLe door did not appear to have been recently fastened, nor any alterstbm what: ever in the house no paunch bad been taken out of the door; it was an old door, and all its parts evidintly of the same material. Mr. TAUNTON rose to address the Jury on behalf of the defendants, who, he said, were men filling s re specta►hle situation in society,engaged in the publishing of a Newspaper. They published a paragraph on the subject of this unhappy lunatic, which they took from 'the best information on the subject; and in (Ail so they did not go out of their proper sphere. Though he was not the advocate of everything wh:cl► appeared in a Newspaper, yet the proprietors of them, from the d►urry with which they were necessarily got up, were entitled to much indulgenc Their duty wa.; to furnish articles which would convey instruction and informa tion to their readers; in doing so, they gave the occur. rences of the day, but if they are obliged to guard, with the nicety of special pleading, every patagraph which they shall insert, no N:wspaper can be cart ied on as it ought to be; and &Juries visited heavily upon them, acts committed without a suspicion of malicious motive, the business must be driven from the hand► of respect. able persons, and solely be conducted by those whose station or whose property will not istErrd a responsibi lity; that ho always considered the only silety which the publiccould have against any licentiousne.s of the press. He recollected an observation of great advo cate, who peculiarly distinguished himself as the advo cate of Newspapers (Lord E.skint), and as particularly applicable to them, who said, " Donnas et platens uxor."—Hcia. Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That honey.drop) thy pleasing wife. FIAPPI NESS " the ray to•mnrrow of the mind" is' insured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpettal Friend ship," is a gift fromileaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, says Johnson, " we approach In some degree of association with celestial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes au imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, hut to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free-1 dont of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the ' neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be. holder, shoukl also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effentliiize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fihre—but more especially does th e I premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the Ra tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address °wadies, offering hope, energy, muscular strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of 20 years successful experience. The easy cates of married life are sometimes dbtur:ted by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath —teethe female habit is often constitutionally weak —yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.

The scandal charged was, that the defendant h4d said the plaintiff was guilty of forgery, and had conducted him. self fraudulently in his practice of an attorney. " Be to their faults a little !blind, Be to their virtues very kind, . And clap a padlock on their mind !" He did not mean to say that the Prop rietors of News ? papers were from this to publi s h w hat they pleased ; but he would say, if in any Newspaper or Magazine a paragraph appeared indicative of personal malice, upon the publishers of such he would say let the vengeance of the law overtake them ; if damages are sought-let Juries give them, and heavily. Or, if criminal proceed ings are instituted, let the Jury find the party guilty, and the Court award its judgment. But the present was not one of those cases—it was one which, it even from technicality a, verdict should be even and da mages obtained, the Jury would feel bound to cut them down cos sum altogether nominal. He bad to remind the Jury that they had not to try what were the di; rections that had been given by the father on his death-bed with respect to this unfortunate lunatic, or whether it was proper he should have been sent to the Lunatic Asylum? till that was perfectly immate rial ; the sole circumstance on which they were to pro nounce their opinion was, the state in which the un happy man was first discovered, for the paragraph related to that period of time alone, and to the state in which he was then fund ; nor, with the exception of its stating that ten or fifteen years before this, the lunatic was able to walk—with this exception only, the paragraph states, on such k day, such an oc currence took place, and that such and such things were discovered. His Learned Friend (Mr. Campbell), was inacurate in stating, with respect to the publica tion of these paragraphs, that they were inserted with a view to prejudice the public mind, because a prosecu tion bad been commenced respecting this transaction. It was true, that such a prosecution was commenced, and now stood for trial ; but it was not true that these paragraphs were inserted with such a view, as the first paragraph appeared on the 11th of February and the second on the 25th, before this prosecution commenced. Having stated these circumstances, he would proceed to comment on the evidence, during which he would not only comment, but prove, to the autireyatisfaction of the Jury, that the teater part adduced was a tissue of wicked, abominable, and barefaced perjury, and at the same time of perjury the most clumsy that ever was exhibited in a Court of Justice. The Learned Counsel then entered into a minute examination of the evidence which had been given, and pointed oat as he proceeded the various contradictions and discrepancies of the wit nesses. He proceeded to describe the state in which the unfortunate man was found, and the Jury would then be able to form a just opinion on this important subject._ In consequence of various rumours, to which lie would
