Mr. BARNEWALL having opened the case— Mr. Serjeant BEST stated, that Mr. and Mrs. Deities had been married upwards of ten years, during which, up to the period of the unfortunate separation that gave rise to this action, they bad enjoyed the utmost degree of harmony and happiness,.as he should prove by the production of evidence from among the high est and most respectable order of society . That -his Client had never been defective in any of the atten tions which an affectionate and honourable man could pay to a beautiful and accomplished woman, he would challenge the Dttndant, or even calumny it self, to deny—such indeed was the nature of his in structions, that he had no hesitation in saying, if such a denial could be sustained, he would be ready to give up all claim to damages. Several Ladies and Gentlemen, acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Defries, were adduced as witnestes, to substantiate the statement of Mr. Serjeant Best. Mr. Serjcant VAUGUAN spoke in mitigation of He disclaimed the intention of imputing an y da mages.impropriety of conduct to Mr. Defries, nor was he instructed to impeach the general character of Mrs. Defries ; but still he would appeal to the considera tion of the Jury in favour of his client, who was in his minority when he became acquainted with this highly interesting and universally admired woman, as she has been justly described by his Learned Friend.— He therefdes hoped and trusted that, in estimating the compensation proper to be awarded to the Plain tiff, the Jury would take into account not only the youth of the Defendant, but his means to defray that compensation, which, he could assure them, were very limited—Mr. Holden being merely a Cornet of DrAgoons, with a small fortune. Mr. 13lifICHELL summed ‘ll3 the evidence, and com mented upon the statements of Counsel, in which he begged the Jury to consider the distinction between that which was proved, and that which was merely qlledged.

At thesb Sessions, anis on to be heard, in Sneak, were Appellants, Lopham, Norfolk, " The appeal was against an order of removal o. female pauper, named Lucy Worledge, from North Lopham to Kentford, at which latter place, k was contended, on the part of the Respondents, that a settlement had been acquired, by hiring and service for a year. To prove this, the pauper herself, a girl of 16 years of age, was called, who stated, that a little before Michael mas,; three or four. years ago, being with her mother at Kenninghall petty sessions, a person of the name of William Bowell came up and gave her mother a sixpence, but did not tell her what it was for, and went away. Shortly after, a Mr. Cooke, of North Lopham, approached, and asked her mother if she knew what the sixpence was given for ? and her mother answered in the negative.— Cooke then told her that the sixpence was letting mo- 1 ney, and she (the pauper) was to go to Kentford, in to the service of a Mr. Luke Bowell, the brother of Wm. Bowell, and he encouraged her to go.-.-When the pauper and her mother returned' home to North Popham, the latter acquainted a Mr. Worledge (grandfather of the pauper) with what had happen ed, who said, she (the pauper). should not go, assign ing as a reason, that there might be the same bad , folks at Kentford as there were at Lopham, in which expression he alluded to the circumstance of the pau per's mother having had a child by Wm. Bowel— In consequence of this determination of the grand father, the sixpence was sent tuck to William Bowell; ' and the girl, to avoid going into the service in ques tion, was secreted by the mother in the poor's house for nearly a month, when Wm. Bowell's son came, and, forcibly taking her away, without hat or shoes, and literally in rags, threw her into a cart, and in this state she was conveyed to the house of Luke Bo well, at Kentford, where she was taken in by a Mrs. Woodstock (Luke Bowell's sister, and at that time his partner in the farming business) who remonstrat ed against the bringing of such a " young stark naked wretch into her house, instead of a servant that could do her some good." The pauper stated her arrival at Kentford to have been a month after Michaelmas day : and that about a fortnight before the Michael ' mas following, W. Bowell and his wife came, and took her in a cart to March, in the Isle of Ely, where she was hired into the service of a Mr. Grey, for a year, but staid only half a year. This wicked conspi racy was formed for the purpose of relieving William Bowen from the maintenance of his bastard child, and of settling the pauper on Kentford parish. The Cot:nr, in delivering judgment, entered into a full recapitulation of all the circumstances attending this most extraordinary case, and observed, that the contract between the parish of Lopham and William Bowell, was as highly immoral as it was illegal.— After commenting on the conduct of the Bowel's and Mr. Cooke, and on the cruel manner 'in which this poor unfortunate girl, then little more than 12 years of age, was dragged from her mother, almost is a state of nakedness, and sent to a distance of upwards of 30 miles, and afterwards transferred to a more re- Anote part of the country, the Court quashed the or der of removal with full costs, remarking that fraud vitiates every transaction.

THE Advantage the Public must always derive from regularly educated professional men directing almost exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never more clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which his attended the administration of their new rem :cly, and the extraor dinary cures it has performed. For a long aeries of years file.vs. Cowes and Co. Surgeon., formerly in his Majesty's service, have made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their hives* gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superior to mercury, in the cure of that complaint ; it is sufficient to observe, that the effects of this remcdyjare diametrically opposite to thve of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of the virus, in its most confirmed stages, yet is does not in the least injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renovates the system in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di gestion ; thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constitu don to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre serves that constitution in its primitive state, but relearn ii RA and debilitated one to its natural strergth and vigour. Number less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of thic medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an race s of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or front the more insidious, though not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both sent in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, then- are, none more afffcting than that distressing state of debility and de ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state; the unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed to seek re lief, until he is reduced to such a state of weakness at to render life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible ;node of treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human blessings, a strong, manly and vigorous constitution. In all cases of debility, deficiency, from whatever cause arising, as well as in every species of venereal infection, Messrs.

An acquaintance of mime itlio by the breaking out of an old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of disorders arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and altlio' he had the best medical advice which could be obtained, and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procured which seemed to suit his case, or do him any service ; he remained in a most reduced and pitiable situation for two years, unable to fel low his profession, and scarcely able to walk or even to stand an his legs ; in fact, no one who knew him ever supposed it possible for him to recover. He was advised at last to try your Leake's Pills—he did so, adhering strictly to the direction& given with tketn—he had not taken more than two - boxes, before he found sin alteration for the better—this encouraged hint to proceed and by taking a few boxes more he found his appetite and streng'b gradually return, and is now as healthy and stout as any man, know.
