Mr. HORNE wished the Court t t o point out to Mr. Wetherell the course which he was to pursue on Thursday, when this matter was to come on. Mr. WETHERELL said that the conduct of this pe tition was with him ; and the Court itself, high as it was, had no right to dictate to him the course which he was to pursue; nor should he_be guided by the sense of his adversary, but his own, on the propriety of the course which he should take. Mr. HEALD spoke at considerable length on the same side as Mr. Horne, and complained that the defence made by Gentlemen on behalf of Lord Ports mouth was merely feigned ; for their real object was that the commission should issue, but Lady Portsmouth really opposed the commission, and then she became the subject of attack, and was accused of adultery. She felt herself no match for her oppo nents in this collateral attack, and therefore retired from the contest. Mr. TacsLovis followed on the same side. Alter which the ATTORNEY-GENERAL WAS heard at some length against the conduct of her Ladyship; and did not retract, on the contrary, maintained the charge of adultery against her Ladyship. Mr. WETHERELL, with great animation, spoke against her Ladyship, and maintained that the adul tery was a part of the case in support of the Com mission ; for that it was sworn that the adultery had been committed even when the Noble Lord was in the bed during the time of its commitment— an .event which never could have happened if that Nobleman had not been insane. He not only should maintain his right to go into the adultery, as con nected with the question of insanity, but he should hereafter call upon his Lordship to order that all these affidavits of Lady Portsmouth, and others upon the subject of adultery, be laid before the Attorney-, General, to be prosecuted for perjury, for that crime was solemnly charged upon her by one hundred and l i thirty v.itnesses. The caveat entered on the part of Lady Portsmouth against the issuing of this Commission, was they. urthdrawn. Tire LORD CHANCELLOR said, that on Thursday he should know what to do with the case. Mr. llouNe said, that although, on the part of Lady Portsmouth, the matter was to be contested no longer, as far as regarded the issuing of the Corn mi,sion, yet they must all be heard in her behalf, if' Mr. Wetherell should cart y his menace into execution. The case now stands for final decision on Thursday. MgETING TO REFORM THE WATERMEN AND LIGHTERMEN OF THE THAMES. Yesterday evening, a very numerous Meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, to take into consideration the best means of promoting Religion and Morality among the Lighter men, Watermen, Bargemen, and Rivermen in general, Alder man and Sheriff Timmrsos, M. I'. in the Chair. The Rev. Mr. himern, of Penzance, in an impressive and suitable prayer, invoked the blessing and protection of the AL MIGHTY for the objects of the Meeting. Shcriff THOMPSON regretted that the amelioration of the con dition of so meritorious a class of persons as the Wateneen on the Thames, especially at a time when such pains were taken to introduce sedition and blasphemy among them, was not taken up by a greater authority than himself. The objects were, to distribute Bibles and religious works among theca—to give their children a religious and Christian education. The Rev. Mr. Ssorn said, he had first seen the worthy Al derman in the Chair when he was consoling a criminal, and directing him to his Goo, at a time when be was just about to be launched into an eternal world ; but now he was happy to see him supporting a Society of men, for the prevention of I crime. Ile congratulated the Chairman on being surrounded by the Firemen, Watermen, Bargemen, and other Rivermen, whose benefit was intended by the institution of this Society; and concluded by moving, that it was of the utmost importance that exertions should be made to promote religion and morality among the Thames Rivermen generally. PHILLIPS, a lighterman, addressed the Meeting at greatlength in support of the object of the Meeting; and he was followed by the Captain of the Hannah, collier, and two Watermen, whose addresses to the Meeting were warmly applauded. The Thanks of the Meeting were given to the worthy Chair man, and a liberal subscription made. Several other Resolutions, having in view the establishment of the Society, were put, and, like the first, carried unanimously ; and the Meeting broke up.

By Many persons he was 14toke4 upon Merely as an olject of curitnity; but there were others who pitied and relieved himi Thesoffleer thought. it hit duty to take this very remarkable vagrant before the LORD MAYOR, for this amongst other reasons—that if the boy lay longer on the bridge theie vt•oulil be no pOssibility of passin g at all, so - powerful was the attraction. The boy said he bad lately come to town from Liverpool with his brother on an ass—that his mother had brought him into the world immediately after having heard of the loss of her husband at sea ; and that his deformity was by her physician attributed to the fright. Lie bad been brought up tentlegly, but the death of his father had thrown th e family into greatZistress. The brother of the boy soon learned what bad ta!ien place i on London-bridge, and attended at the Justice-room to account for the seeming desolate condition of the poor tdpple. lie said that • a boy who carried ham along the streets got tired and left him on the bridge, to which place he had never been conveyed fur the purpose of begging. The witness declarid that his brother had never been exhibited for . ..money, and had been seem by vary few. Alderman Cox ordered that the hay should be remanded, until the 1.40 . 1:D Ala voa shall have investigared his case. Bow-Sraerer.—Yesterday Mars tolifteid, a spinster, about 27 years of age, who passes by the appellation of " Mrs. Cols field," was charged with committing various frauds, by presenting. or ders for mourning, purporting to be from Lady Dundas, or a relation of Lord Erskine, in consequence of a recent death in his ' Lordship's family, At one place she borrowed a sov,ereign, and at another 4s. but she did not obtain the goods ordered in' any case. The Magistrate, therefore, discharged her, considering the money transactions as merely . dens. The prisoner burst into tears, said she had been driven to this conduct by distress, and that a Gentleman had tried to get her into the Refuge fur the Destitute, but had failed. LAMILETIK-STUZZT.-I'. Cavener and J.

The horse took the lead, and kept it fur half the distance, when the colt passed him in a supenur style, and woo the race by a length. In this race the knowing a nnea were completely deceived, the horse being hacked at great odds. It is supposed rie losg through the neglect of the groom the pre vious uight, who allowed bins improper food, even within a short timc of starting.

After a long hunt, and the scent becoming cold, the chace was given up, and the fox thus preserved for a future day's sport. The East Lothian foxhounds had a brisk thing of 11 tniks last week, going it in 50 minutes, without a check. The ht:.t ing this season has commenced most favourably ; although the rains have made the country a little heavy fur homer, yet there never was an instance of so many fiat scenting days at the In:- ginning of a season ; nor so many tine tuns in the north (Mauch! g Yorkshire), in the month before Christmas, as it is generaliy thought slow work till after thai time. litimwroir, Dec.
