Elisabeth Taylor, the alleged first wife of Mr. Ewen Llord, was a bar-maid at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, a house then frequented by Mr. Lloyd; and the Learned Counsel would shew that that female was buried in the churchyard of St. James, Piccadilly. by the name of Elizabeth Taylor, is the year 1741. This fact would go to shew that no marriage had been contracted ) or else she would not have been buried in her maiden name. He would also shew that what had been the fate of Elizabeth Taylor, and how unlikely it was that she had ever been married to Mr. Ewen Lloyd, or that her child Elizabeth was legitimate, for that child was sent to a poor village school, kept by n barber, or hit s wife, at Teddington, in the neighbour hood of London, and there always known by the name of IS Bet Taylor." Mr. Lleyd was a Gentleman of fa mily and fortune, and, therefore, it was highly impro bable that he should marry the bar maid of the Tnarch ed House Tavern, and moreover, if he had done so. it was much more improbable that he should leave un provided and destitute the offspring of hts first m4rriage when he had no issue by his subsequenCwile, Miss Hill. This " Bet Taylor:* as she was called, afterwards mar ried the father of tie present defendant, And then went to Bath, where s' e kert elod2,ing house, and aftetwards became t!:e housekeeper of a Mr. Mitt, a surgeon, near Sr. Thom rs's Hospitil, where the Learned 'Counsel would prove, by Mr. mount, a surgeon, of great emi nence, who was a pupil of Mr. Burt's, in 1741, that the mifcrtunate woman represented herielf to be the illegi timate daughter of a Welsh Gentleman, name) Lloyd, and died broken hearted when she heard that he had uat menti med her or her children in his will. The Learned Counsel, after some other statements of the substance ci facts, concluded by pressing his claim fer vently on the consciences of the Jury. The records of the f ‘rmer trial and the notes of evi dence then taken, were tendered as evidence. They weft partially received. The Chancery proceedings in the cause were also produced, and - received. It further appeared Irons documentary evidence, that the marriage wit) El;Lahetli Taylor occurred under these circum stances :—She had been sent to a boarding school after she left Teddingron, from which she eloped with the father of the present plaintiff; and, ie consequence. incurred Mr. Lloyd's severe displeasure, for he totally abandoned her. The Itiv. Rowland Hill. after bring called and sworn, stated, that he knew en aunt of his nutria/. 31r. Ewen Lloyd, but be knew nothing of their private affairs. Mi. Mount, a vet y old Gentleman, stated, that be fare belied retired from business, he had been, in the medical profession. In 1774 he was walking the hos pitals, and he was a student with a Mr. Burt. near St. Thomas's Hosp tal, where he knew the late E.izabeth Passingharn, who always described herself as the re puted child of a Welch Gentleman. She acknowledged that she believed she was illegitimate. • She said she had offended her father, but, for family seasons, she al ways expected.a legacy. A Geotleman, from the neigh hnnthood of Shrewsbury, called une morning at the house of witness's master, in the Borough. , and stated that Mr. Lloyd was dead. When this- fact was Ma* • tnunicated to him, he asked whether arty property was left to Elizabeth Passingfiarn? He said. that nothing whatever had been bequeathed to her. The cletransum cation of this fact to the uefortuu. to woman niaile her -ins.antly delirious, and, its three days afteeseatds. she aptatig out of hei own bed room wimiow, and was killed on the spot. Several other ‘ltnesses were eared for the plaintiff, whose reef. mony tended to the establishment of hVelalm, but the parti,adan' of their evidence are tedious and uninteresting. The.Arrouttxx-GaNtftat, this morning, in a speech of great length, detailed and remarked upon the whole of the legal and equity proceedings in this case, since lin - and co• as sound law and good authority, the doctrines and obseromions leird Erskine, during the former tall, respecting the just claims of the PAS. singham family. The present de•endant, Colonel singham, was a military man. He Ined.served his coon. try, and bled profusely in the American star. Lord Erskine, in his early life, had been a soldier himself, and on the former occasion he paid er gallant tribute to the activity and energy of a brother soldier. Bat to re vert to thts.sut,ject of this mmt extraordinary case. The Passingham family, now, after thirty years' peaceable possession, which was the best indication of lawful sight, were assailed by the present action, and were charged as bei• g spurious offspring of a Gentleman who bore high reputatiars. and good feeling as the charac. teriaics of h's c induct. The family of the Pissing. hams had establisted Veir legitimacy by tie fest cri tee ion that hum in judgm-nt could afford; namely, by the verdict of twelve honest *Englishmen.. They had pronounced the tepudiation of imputed bastirdy, and the solid establishment of legit;macy. This judgment was rya procured by the eloquence of t e le Passinghams` ' advocate, renowned and celebrated as he was, in hii' day, for his unbounded ;sowers; but the dieratesof honest cnnscience, and the exertion of ore English judgment, had fixed a vs edict upon a basis that ought not to be shaken. Tim Learned Counsel then went through a. train of reasonua, and a statement. of facts formcily adduced, fur which w c have not room, and tested u, cal a positive conviction that no new Jury would disturb the solemn sanction of a verdict, pronounced by twelve, Loaest Englishmen, assembled in the same box which the present Jury now . occuvied. Several witnesses were then called. The widow of Colonel Vivian of the Guards, and others, deposed that the Misses Lloyd, who hid been left alone in thy possession of the property in ques tion, always s pore of Colonel Passitigham, and his brother, as their , nephews , since the year 17as. The w ill of Mary Uoyd was put la as evidence, &hewing that that degree of relationship really existed. Other evidence was also adduced, which was produced on the former occasion. blr. nevem replied at considerable length; but it is impossible to give his oliervations. air. Justice rantaostalls from his infirmities, had the Jury re. inovedTrom theist,: to the bench; and there he summed up to them. Mr. Justice BortaotiOts remained on the Bench until near II o'clock on Saturday night, when he adjourned the Court, and left the Associate to receive the verdict. At half past five o'clock on Sunday morning the Jury retcrned into Court, and found a verdict for the plaintiff. . This trial only affects a entail part of property. An action was brought by Mr. Spilsbury, the pro. prietor of the Swan Inn, Bridgenorth, against Mr. lien- Orb, a Member of Parliament, for the recovery of the amount of his flag men's eating and drinking, when that Begentleman unsuccessfully canvassed the electors for idgeoorth, in the year 1820. 'This canvass lasted • tome days; and highly to the credit of Mr. Spilsbury, the Proprietor of the Swan Inn, Bridgenorth, his bill for feasting these standard bearers only • amounted to 251. an era in the expellees of an election candidate.

Arthur Thompson, alias Joseph Pennell, alias Josiah was indicted for knowingly uttering, a forged cheque for SW. at St. Mary's, Lambqli, on the 22d. of December, 1824, with intent to defraud William Simp son. —lt appeared, that on the day mentioned, the pri• toner employed a young man, named John Williams, to take a letter for him to the counting-horse of .01r. Simpson, of the Union Brewery, Lambeth \Valk, and wait for an answer. The letter was dated , 0 Three Stags, Lambeth, 22d December, 1824," and purported to be written by Mrs. Sheen, who keeps the Three Stags public-house, and in her name requesting Mr. Simpson to let her have cash for the enclosed cheque upon Messrs. Masterman and Co. for 321. purporting to he drawn by Edward Mason, payable to Mrs. Sheen or bearer. The young man Williams deliiered this letter , to Mr. Gadsby, a clerk to Mr. Simpson, and withdut hesitation he gave the cash to Williams, who delivered it to the prisoner, whom he found waiting for him near the Three Stag's, in Walcott Place. The prisoner gave him a shilling for his trouble. It turned out that then WAS no such rerson as Edward Mason, the suppoopd drawer of the cheque, who kept cash at Master man's, and that Mrs. Sheen had not written the note which•the prisoner had. sent in her name.

Se lobe as the English continued to pour millions into the enters of the Greek nation, the English Sag was venerated in all their seas : since the English have suspended their subsidies, the Greeks treat them no better than other nations. For this month past, all English vessels that have arrived here from the ports of England have been pillaged, their Captains insulted,lll4reated, rubbed of their private property, their money, and even their clothes. All the English ships of war stationed In the Levant are gone to pursue these pirates, who, in genis'al, cruise between Cape D'Oro and Andro, because at this season this passage is the most frequented by vessels coming from, Europe. The son , of the English Consul here had on board one of these ships v..luable articles of household furniture, which he bad purchasid in London fur 40.000 piastres; the Greeks have taken them all. Commodore Hamilton is gone to Syra, where the pirates generally deposit their booty. The other ships of war will proceed to the ports which are known to be the retreats of these pirates. We learn from Spa r by an account dated the sth, that Com., mode,* liarniltowhad met, near St. George di Schiro, 19 vessels fun of pirates, known by the name of Liappi banditti of Romelia, Commanded by Vasso Braouvich, of the Bouke de Cattaro, and by one. Gusceotte, a Rumellot. These banditti, after having ruined Zra, Andros, Tasso, Scbtro, and Schiatto, stripped the inhabitants and committed a thousand atrocities and horrible excesses, were on their Way to go and pillage some other Island.

The Supplements to the .411 genuine Zdtung of the 17th and ifith of July, contain a very long and circumstantial account of the dis order which ended in the death of his Majesty the Emperor Alex ander, translated from the original Latin of Sir James Wylie, his Majesty's Physician, and signed alsO by Dr. Stoffregen. His Majesty it seems refused for some days to take any medicine, ant appears. to have had a particular objection to leeches, which he Persisted in prohibiting for two days, after they had been judged .abssllutely necessary to save his life. Under date of the 14th Not. we jimi Ids Majesty had passed a tolerable night, but he refused leedliea; and Dr. W. began to fear.pulsed fever. His Majesty, how met, got qjt shaved,hintself. "When he had come down again," sayi DrW: "istreated iniAnd attempted to speak some - words,' in which a certain confusion if Wen was perceptible. without any' the connection of the ideas be desired to speak to me, and said, Sr friend, what an action ! what a frightful action !' 0 1 This state f'lke mindlontinued about a Minute ; !IP at die same time cast alerrible look tin me, and it seemed to me to be the first Apt of Incipient delitlCM.

One of the preceding days, his Majesty said to me, ' I wish you would direct your attention to my nerves,• fur they are in very great disorder?— ! replied, I believe this happens to Sovereigns more frequently than to other men. I cis Majesty answered, And in these times I have more than ever reason .to experience this. " Though here were no positive indications of imminent danger. except continual and heavy sleep, which the Doctor judged to be as dang.rous as constant waking, because it gives reason to fear a too great an accumulation of blood un the brain • he wished to use se veral external applications, such as must ard paste. blisters, and above all, leeches, but they were refused with displeasure.— Firmly convinced of the advantage of leeches, I implored him to allow me to use them, but unhappily in vain. I received for an swer—' I will not; leave me; I will not be disturbed, do not torment me with your continual entreaties. I know very well what hertz me or does me good; I ask only repose, solitude, and At tranquillity.' I trust to the will of the Astaterv, and to my con stitution. At two o'clock in the afternoon the fever fit was more violent than on the preceding day: At eight o'clock his Majesty, contrary to the advice of his Physicians, sat up and fainted, but soon recovered. Various medicines were offered, but the patient would ant take a drop or a grain. Nov. 15 (24 —The szmptoms early in the morning were very bad, and his Majesty in imminent danger, pulse 220, inn no deli rium. • Her Majesty the Empress ordered me to announce to the Monarch the approaching end. Oh, unhappy that lam ! what an /fiat ! His M.,jesty asked me, Is it come to that F I replied; Yef. indeed,' and proceeded to particulars. At five in the Morning his Majesty took the Sacrament. Hitherto. his Majesty had refused to take medicine; now. at the .request of his Con fessor, and convinced of his danger, he consented; but, alas i It was too late." The Doctor details the means he employed, among which yeas mustard plasters,bot these the patient pulled off in anger as soon as they began to draw."

The Directors of the Bank of England have deter mined to establish Branch Banks at Swansea, Birming ham, and Manche: er, in additi m to one already established at Gloucester. Why the Directors shotild have overlooked Liverpool, we are totally at a loss to conceive. If a branch of the Bank were established here, no doubt the whole amount received at the Cue toms and Excise; &c. would pass through it. The: re venue collected at this port is, we believe, tr snsmitted to the Treasury, through the principal banking establish ments here; and the interest alone, between the money rec.ived from the Customs and Excise, &c. and the money paid into the Treasury, is somewhere about 10.1:1031. per ann.which it is reasonable to suppose would be transferred into the coffers of theßranchßank. Setting aside the incalculable advantages which would accrue to this port, to Ireland, and to the country at large, from the establishment of a Branch Bank 'here,. we should suppose that the mere receipt of the revenue would be a sufficient temptation (in a pecuni..ry point of view) to induce the Directors of the Bank of E %land immediately to acquiesce in the wishes of the majority of all the leading interests •of this great commercial comm u nit y.—Liverpool Chronicle.
