The plaintiff was porter to the Angel Inn, and his wife was chambermaid, and both had borne an excellent character previous to their mar riage, win') they opened a lodging-house in New Inn Buildings. Walters still continued in the service of Mr. Eames, of the Angel, to whom, in consequence of some disagreement, the defendant (who lived next door to them) sent a letter, stating that he must indict Walters for the conduct of his wife in keeping a disor derly house, and alleging that Mrs. Walters and other women had been in the habit of addressing men fro* the windows, and inviting them in, and stating that a lodger of his own, named Molony, had been with others so invited. The Learned Counsel concluded by declaring the falsehood of the above allegations, and calling John Eames, who deposed, that he formerly kept the Angel Inn, St. Clement's. The plaintiff and his wife were both in his employ before they were married— Walters for ten or twelve years, and his wife as cham bermaid for four years ; they had always behaved them selves well, and witness had never heard any complaint against them, till he received the letter produced from the defendant on the 16th of October, 1828. It stated that the writer was pestered by the family of Wel ters, against whom and his wife the defender* cud he should be obliged to prefer an indictment for keeping a disorderly house. The plaintiff kept a lodg ing house in New Inn Buildings, next door to the hones occupied by the defendant. The indictment was tried at Westminster. Mr. Doane was in Court, but not es. ermined.

The record of the acquittal of James Walters and his wife, at Westminster, on an indictment for keeping a disorderly holm, was put in. James Molony stated that he lodged with defendant, but had seen nothing improper or indecent on the part of the women, aL though he had seen them speak to persons from the windows, het had not beard the words spoken.

Verdict for the plaintiffs, on both ibMlCS—Datuages COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Jvwz 4. LIBELDIL GRBSPIGNY O. %VELLUM'S'. This case, which has excited so much interebt, came on to-day for trial, before Lord WIVFORD and a Spe- cial Jury. Mr. MESMER opened the pleadings. The declara. tion charged the defendant with the &lively of certain false and scandalous libels, wi:h a vie* to their publi- cation in the Sunday lima and Age Newspapers, and the decl4ration ruiner charged that these libels were published in the aforesaid Newspapers. Mr. Sergeant WILDE said that he appeared as Cour.- sel for Sir William De Crespigny, who now applied to a Jury of his country for justice, and for redress of the injury which he feels has been deeply inflicted on him by the defendant, Mr. Wellesley. The nature of the charge.had already been explained to them by his friend (Mr.Thessiger.) It was, that Mr. Wellesley procured the publication of certain libels, imputing to the plaintiff the crimes of incest and adultery. The plaintiff had now arrived at an advanced stage of life—he was 65 years old, yet at that stage of life he was compelled to call on Mr. Wellesley to establish, by some proof, so foul a charge, and if Mr. Wellesley should not answer that call, then the plaintiff must appeal to the Jury for the only re paration which justice can afford—namely, compensa eon in damages for these injuries. In this case the Jury could have many advantages—they could have the author of the libel before them, and would hear from him his motives for the publication. In many instances Juries were at a loss to ascertain these motives, but here there could be no such embarrassment. Mr. Wellesley could appear before them to explain his motives, and it would be for the Jury to say whether they would furnish any mitigation for his conduct. As for the libels, they could. without his assistance, suffi ciently disclose the history of the transactions out of which they arose. It would appear that two Ladies, sisters of the late Mrs. Wellesley, thought it right to institute certain proceedings fer the ,purpose of determining who should have the guardianship of the children of the defendant and Mrs. Wellesley, the late Miss Long. The Court of Chancery decided that Mr. Wellesley was not a proper person for that trust. The whole matter was judicially investigated, and the decision was unfavourable to Mr. Wellesley; nothing remained, therefore, but that the judg ment of the Conn should be carried into 4ffect, unle►s Mr. Wellesley could deter those by whom the proceedings were instituted from acting on the decision of the Lord Chancellor. For the purpose of effecting that object Mr. Wellesley published the present libels. The parties against whom they were directed were fe males, and the Jury must be aware bow powerful the motives must be which would make Ladies run the ha 'lard of having their names mixed up with such calum nies. and associated with such licentiousness. They were aware that innocence could afford no shield against such charges; and that, though proved to be malicious and fal,e,they must pain every honourable breast. Threaten a female with a crime, and more than the consequences of actual guilt will attach from the mere charge. Mr. Wollesley, however, knew that though he might attempt to testify these Ladies, they were surrounded by re spectable friends who might rally round them, anti by toes, confidence in the innocence of the Ladies go far to defeat the object of the slander. It occurred to Mr. Wellesley, therefore, that his object could notbe attained without separating them from their friends. He was obliged to snort to such in expedient; he mixed these respectable friends np in the °barge, thinking if be could bring them also bet ore the public kis end would be gained. The Learned Sergeant then stated. that Mr. Heaton De Crew/guy, the sou of the plaintiff, was Wel:iced and in. partisan of the defendant in the proceedings in the Court of Chancery. It lot they appeared that Mr. Wel lesley had that influence over Mr. De Crespigny which enabled him to make the strongest impression by the weakest possible means. Mr. Wellesley knowing the extent of that influence, goes to Mr. De Crespigny and represents to him that he has the strongest proof., such as no understanding could resist. This statement of the proof owing all its force to the in. fluence of Mr. Wellesley, and being often repeated to Mr. De Crespigny. the latter Gentleman relying 'on the existence of his proofs, makes certain remarks, which Mr. Wellesley carefully treasures up ; and when he is afterwards called on for the proofs, he refers to these very remarks as furnishing the full proofs. Mr. Wellesley, it should be kept in remembrance, was a man not to be taken off his guard; from the very first moment that he contemplated any object, he kept his end steadily in view. Thus he made a minute of all his conversations with Mr. De Crespigny, without one word to indicate by what remarks of his own the observations of Mr. De Crespigny were elicited. Mr. De Crespigny at length communicated the charges to his respectable father, and on receiving from him the most unqualified assurance of their falsehood in every particular, he naturally enough called on Mr. Wellesley for his proofs; but what does Mr. Wellesley do? He actually turns and rests for his proofs on the admissions made by Mr. De Crespigny himself. Mr. De Crespigny might be a weak man, a bad man; it might be that he was a mad man; the charge against the de fendant was, that he duped that Gentleman into a con. versation and filled his mind with charges, of which Mr. W. himself well knew that he had no proofs; and that having elicited remarks from Mr. De Crespigny, he afterwards put forth these very remarks as affording evidence of the tiuth of the charges. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to read the alleged libels as they appeared in the Suaday Times and Age newspapers. and; commented on those parts which reflected on the chafer.. ter of the Misses Long. With reference to the duel be-' tween Mr. DeCrespigny and Mr.W. be said that he could as litttle account for the circumstance of the Rev. Mr. De Crespigny's being made the confidant of his own father's crimes, as he could defend the Rev. Gentleman's conduct in fighting a duel, because proof of these crimes were not furnished by Mr. Wellesley when called on to do so. All the Learned Sergeant had now to say was, that Sir. William De Crespigny. as the nearest male. relation of the Misses Long, felt him. self bound to come forward thus publicly to challenge their common calumniator to The proof of his charges. He trusted that the Jury would mark their sense of the plaintiff's injuries in the only way in which they could—namely, by the amount of the damages— not that compensation in money could afford any rein. ration, any more than it showed what view the Jury took of the malignity of the charge, and its tendency to de. stroy the character of the party against whom it was aimed. That view was to be ascertained by the amount of the damages alone. Mr. Wellesley had the ad vantage of the advocacy of the Attorney-General, but he (Sergeant Wilde) did not fear that even his Learned Friend's talents, great as they were, could bias their judgments. After his Learned Friend had addressed them, let them but read the libel, and that would remove any undue impression that might be made on them. It appeared from the first paper put in evi dence, of the date of the 29th of June, that Mr. Heaton De Crespigny and Mr. Wellesley had fought a duel respecting the communication between them, on the subjects referred to. Mr. Wellesley was not satisfied with some account (4 that duel, which had been pub. lished, and thought it right to give his own version of the case. The Learned Counsel here read and com mented upon the libels. After Mr. De Crespigny had satisfied himself of the falsehood of the accusation, he wrote the following letter to Mr. Wellesley : " Mr. Heaton de Crespigny presents his compliments to hit. Long Wellesky, and begs to acquaint him that be has had an in terview with his father on the subject of Mr. Long Wellesfey'a charge against Miss basing intrigued with his father, and which the latter most positively and distinctly denied, and further declares in the most solemn manner the statements of Mr. Long Wellesley to be utterly false. Under these circumstances, Mr. Heaton De Crespigny feels it incumbent on him to demand of Mr. Long Wel lesley those regulate proofs which the case abolutely calls for. Emil they be withheld, Mr. Heaton De Crespigny has hat one course to panne, which is, to insist on immediate satisfaction, doe both to the character of a parent and a near relation." The parties soon alter repaired to Calais, where the duel took place. The funow - ing evidence was then produced Mr. Thomas Gaspey examined by Mr. PoLt.ocx—l was Editor of The Junday Times in June last. In con sequence of some communication from Mr.Welleslev, waited on him. A letter signed by Mr. Wellesley's name was iven to me, and when I afterwards saw him and was in conversation with him, t referred to that letter. I afterwards got a statement in writing from Mrs. Bligh, in the presence of Mr. Wellesley ; this occur red on Thurs day, the 26th of June, at Mr. Wellesley's house. The manuscript was here banded to the witness, who said that it had been given to him for publication, and that it was accordingly published. The witness read over the abovementioned pap.r to Mrs. Bligh and Mr. Vlrel le.ley. I wrote a few remarks as a preface to the letters which the paper contained. Mr. Wellesley approved of these remas ks as an introduction. I subsequently re. ceived other papers. I objected to one word in the let ters—that word WAS " obscene: Mr. Wellesley wished rather to have asterisks substituted in the place of it than that any more mild expiession should be used. On my saying that although the statement furnished by Mr. Wellesley might be true, as the strong vouchers which he then produced warranted me in thinking, yet that I could not run the risk of inserting it, both Mrs. Bligh and Mr. Wellesley assured me that they would bear me harmless in the publication. Cross examined by the ATTORNEY GENERAL—Mr. Wellesley often complained to me of the hardship of being deprived of the care of his children, and I had some conversation with him respecting the duel at Calais. Mr. Wellesley particularly wished the papers to be published. The Sunday Times of the 29th of June was here put in, likewise several letters, which were read. The whole of the correspondence between Mr. Wel !miry and Mr. Heaton De Crespigny, and the state ments published at different periods in the Age and Sunday Times newspapers, were here read. Mr. T. Dean, examined by M r. Sergeant ANDREWS-•• I am clerk to Mr. Powell, of Lincoln's Inn ; I am ac quainted with the handwriting of Mr. and Mrs. Wel lesley, and believe the letters now produced are in their hand-writing. By the ATTORNEY•GENERAL.4 am not connected with the Newspapers. A letter from Mrs. W. then Mrs. Bligh, to the Editor of the Sunday Times, requesting him to publish what it contained, was then put in. Mr. James Edward Nixon, Clerk to the plaintiffs Attorney, examined—ln consequence of what had been published in the Age. I wrote to Mr. Westmacott, de siring him to give up the original paper and the author., Mr. Westroacott then sent the papers now produced. Mr. C. M. Westmaeott examined—l am Editor of the Age newspaper. The documents now produced 1 received from Mr. Wellesley; they are the same that were published by me in the Age. and which, on the application of the last witness, I up to him. Extracts from the Age newspaper, of the ISth and 20th ofJuly (after several objections by the ATTORNEY- GENERAL, which were overruled by the Court), were then read. The Arronnst-GEN ERA t. (Sir James Scarlett). for the defendant, said, that though not unaccustomed to the discharge of duties of this nature, he never had so much serious difficulty to contend with as in the present in stance. This was rather a candid avowal to make in the outset; but when he explained that difficulty, the July would see that it was not founded on any idea of abandoning his client. The difficulty was this—so much. had been said and written of Mr. Wellesley—the public had been so much nauseated by all they had heard and read of him, that :so one could come into Court respecting whom a Jury could be more likely to have a prepossession in all that concerned him.— The Learned Gentleman knew how strongly such feelings took possession of the human mind—that no thing was mote difficult than to get rid of them. He entreated the Jury to dismiss all those considerations from their minds. To . the Learned Judge, who was in the daily habit of controulling his feelings and of sub doing all heat of temper, that task was easy, but to Gen tlemen taken generally from socie:y it was more difficult. His Learned Friend stated that the object of the defen dant was to deter the Misses Long from prosecuting the proceedings respecting his children. On that point the Attorney General would join issue with his Friend; he denied that assertion of his Learned Friend, and undertook to disprove it. His Learned Friend b tideJ that the defendant, engaged as he was in the object of ge ting the possession of his own children, had invented these atrocious falsehoods against the Misses Long ; but the Jury should bear in mind, that the Misses Long, or their character, were not now before the Court. How ever entitled they might be to maintain an aetion in their own name against the defendant, still the attack on them ought not to be taken into the reckoning—if reckoning there were—in an action between Sir W. De Crespigny and Mr. Wellesley. It was, perhaps, an in discretion to have introduced their names in the pub lication, but the Jury must deal with the present ques tion as if they had never heard of the Misses Long. Now his Learned Friend declared that this publica tion took place in order to terrify the Misses Long, but it did not take place until the contest between Mr. Wellesley and the Misses Long was at an end. The dispute between them had been settled as far as a judicial declaration would settle it; the matter was finally judged. The Learned Gentleman, after further observation on that part of the case, denied that any direct charge of gailt was made against Sir William De Crespigny, other than in the admissions of his own son, or in communications made to Mr. Wellesley by others. Mr. Wellesley did not pretend to say that he bad seen any thing with his own eyes; nor had he put that on the record. He pleaded that the libellous mat ter was communicated to him by the Reverend Mr. Heaton De Crespigny ; the plaintiff, however, demurred to that plea, and this Court very properly allowed the demurrer, on the legal grounds that, even if the plain• tiff's son proved, in the witness box, that he communi cated the matter to Mr. Wellesley, that circumstance would not be a defence to the action. The plaintiff, therefore, it was, who prevented Mr. Wellesley from producing the individual from whom the information came in the first instance. There was, besides, another course open to the plaintiff, by which the case could be fully inquired into. He might have put on the record what the lawyers call the inducement to the libel— that was, he might have set out the motives and ob ject of the defendant, and by that course be could have afforded to the defendant the opportunity of negativing the imputed motives. If, for instance, the declaration charged the defendant with having fabri cated these charges, and with having communicated these charges to the Reverend Mr. De Crespigny, it would have been open to the defendant to bring forward the plaintiff's own son to disprove that induce ment. The Attorney General, in going through the libel, and commenting on the bearing of several parts of it, put it to the Jury whether it did not appear that the publication took place in a hasty moment, and was deemed necessary by Mr. Wel lesley, as explanatory of the motives which led him to adopt the extraordinary course of fighting a duel with a Clergyman? The publication was no doubt an indiscreet proceeding, and at Mr. Wellesley bad the advantage of legal advice at the moment. he perhaps would have refrained from exposing himself to the con sequences that might attach to it. On the whole of the case be asked them, whether it ought not to be viewed without reference to these prejudices, either in favour of or against Mr. W. He must put it to them to say, did they or did they not think that the publication was resort ed to for the sole and express purpose of injuring S rWm. De Crespigny ? Could any man come to any other con clusion than this, that lie made these letters public be cause he was charged with having fabricated malicious reports, and with refusing to retract that report on being called on to do so? His own character, as a man of honour, was at stake. Let the Jury look at the transactions in that point of view, and the alleged mo. tive of attacking the character of Sir William De Crespigny would be negatived the moment it was seen that Mr. Wellesley's object was to defend himself. He did not put in a justification of the libel, because he had never, for a moment, intended to say that he himself knew this charge to be true. The Learned Gentleman did not think that he went too far in asking a verdict of acquittal for Mr. Wellesley; but if the Jury should think otherwise, the next question was, what the amouut of the damages ought to be? Sir William De Crespigny had two suns, one of whom had already fought a duel with Mr: Wellesley. This was an atonement which, in the minds of all honourable men, went tar to mitigate a party guilty of an indiscre tion. Why then offer up Mr. Wellesley as a sacrifice in vindication of the plaintiff's character—why not look to his own son—why not see whether all this was not the result of his son's folly or wickedness? In conclusion, after entering into a feeling detail of the misfortunes of Mr. Wellesley, he prayed the Jury not to visit his misfortunes on him, and punish one who had already suffered so much. Lord WUIIORD then proceeded to charge the Jury, and told them to dismiss from their minds all parts of the libel which did not refer to the plaintiff, and to him alone. His Lordship, however, could not but think thAt the defendant's object seemed to be, not alone to defend his own character, but also to defame that of other persons. The publication was certainly a libel, and it was for the Jury, upon an attentive consideration of the whole case, to say what damages they would award the plaintiff. In estimating the damages, they would bear in mind the station in life of the parties. One was a Baronet, and the other, it would appear, was the son of a Nobleman. The Jury retired at 20 minutes to three o'clock, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Thousand Paws& I .SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES—Timm:ay. The whole world was Epsom yesterday. Indepeniiehtly of the numbers of visite's who, having arrived on the preceding day, venutred to remain a night in the town, London and t h e '4 4 ! rounding country sent out fresh hosts in the morning. A, an early hour persons were seen establishing themselves u n whet are considered the best points of view on the Downs. Coaches, e ast , waggons, and every other description of vehicle were draw l* n; along the Race.coarse, and converted into temporary stands. T he line formed by them ettended for full three-quarters of a mil e a a a direction hoe the winning towards the starting post at eda m , side of the Course, and for a considerable distance they Were placed four or Ave deep. As the morning udvanced, all the re e d s leading to the Downs wete thronged—literally alive—with pas • sengers hastening to the scene of the sports. Equipages rolled cei wave upon wave, almost in one unbroken stream, from elev en o'clock till the hour for commencing she running had nearly at . rived. The scene was peculiarly sulking and animated, from the moment when the splendid carriages descried at a disiance,vriudn ie their way through various roads leading to the Downs, s tern a like so many glitteting toys, till they came upon the eye in their full proportions, gay with rich liveries, and brilliant coleus L ent , ing in the beams of the morning sun. Horsemen came in cl ou d, / and foot travellers not a few. All seemed eager fur excirtnielt of one sort or other. Some seeking it in business, others in 'raw e e,. By one o'clock the tide of visite v. was nearly at the lull. Ts a i young Queen of Portugal and Suite hail taken their place. in the Stewards Stand, wbrre we observed the Duke de Chartres, so. tended by Viscount Chabot, Genetal Reautrand. bcc. else t 4 Duke of Cumberland, the Duke and Duchess 01 Richmond, and Lord Marche. It is Impossible to enumerate all the dioinguirh e g persons who attended In the course of the day: there was a perf ect galaxy of stars on the grand Stand, and upon the side of the hift that overlooks the Course. Among these, we have only spa ce t er the names of the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Clarence, the Dukes of Rutland, Grafton, Dorset. Leeds. Portland, Sr. Alb an ., (and Duchess); Marquisses of Titchlield.Wnrcester Queensberry,Exeter (and Marchioness); Earl. of Verulam, Sefton ( an d C onn. less), Wilton (and Countess), Southampton, Jersey, Orford, (l e ,. teraeld, Mounteliarles, Grosvenor, Clarendon; Lords G.

The effect of the new Stand, nowded from root to haw ment with spectators, was extremely due : and thy bill opposi te , one solid mass of gorgeous equipages thronged with Ladies, pe e . rented a spectacle the most brslliaut and imposing that can well be imagined. This sieve was a perfect sylvan theatre, occupied from base to summit by more of lastly and brilliant than we alsso-t ever before saw collected within an equal space: the charm of the scene was heightened by a brilliant sun, the light in which (severe as is the test) English beauty always appears to the greats.* advantage. There has Cot been such a meeting at Epsom, in point of extent and brilliancy, these many years. The numbers present were variously calculated at from Ico.ooo to 150,000 persons. It is unnecessary to say a single word in cunintendation of the es. cellent arrangements, Untie, the direction of Mr. Maberly, the acting Steward. As the hour approached for deciding the Derby Stakes,* sporting men were seen alternately galloping over the grounds ts and from the various points of interest, and collected in the bet. tine-ring. All was breathless ezpectatien—the suspense was ia. creased by a considerable delay which took place in consequesce of the adoption of a new system of regulating the starting by Bags, as at Doncaster. There were two false starts. At keg* the race commenced. and was decided Lu a shorter time that, it takes to describe it. For awhile seven of the seventeen buries that started kept together pretty closely. Patron was now left behind, and the race lay between Frederick (the winner), Exquisite, Rhoda, Prince Eugene, and Espagnolle, which were all in a heap. A moment longer--Frederick has woo by a head—men scarcely believe their eyes—the ring is in consternation. Exquisite came next. As for Patron. the favourite, be contrived to get in some twenty yards behind the winner. On the whole, we consider the race a good one ; but where a number of unknown horses run, as is the case in this instance, on result will surprise is. The qualities of the favourite, or favou rites, may be properly appreciated, but who knows any thing about the powers of their untried oppo nents? It Is all a lottery ' • and the circumstance of se many heroes starting as usually do for the Derby, adds to the uncertainty t they have not room to run.

A slight review of the betting on this great stakes may not be eat of place, which, from Its commencement up to the Newmarket Craven Meeting, possessed an extraordinary character. On former occasions it web thought wisest to back winners, but speculatien,fike the times, has wonderfully changed of late, and the' march of intel lect" has brought about quite a new theory io the art of making a book—oow.a.days. forsooth, It is looked upon as the safest to select the favourites from the crowd of beaten horses, or horses from bed and unlucky stables. For inmate ' they picked out Canvas, Lass, Prince Eugene. brother to Moses.itc. upon which they laid it ea pretty strum& having them at various periods at the top of the odds; nor did they find out their mistake Witco late to save themselves. In no one instance at Newmarket did the favourites brought ers by the knowing ones sustain the opinion generally expressed el thew; while the only horse that turned out well was Patton, who was scarcely ever higher than 18 or 20 to 1. So much for the boasted superior judgment and intelligence of the Soloasuns of the Tart sod so much for private trials. It is not in our recollection that a Derby has produced so many first favourites, and at such keg odds. Will.e-the.
