W 7 7- , lIR RIONzv w: HOUSE OF LORDS, Aran. 19. CALCRAIT'S DIVORCE BILL. (Before the LORD CHANCILLOR, Lord WYNFORD, Lord LYNDHURST, &e. &c.) At half-past 3, Mr. ADAMS, for Captain Calcraft, called Mary Ann Seerley, who stated she was lady's maid to Mrs. Calcraft, and lived with her family,and was acquainted with Captain Calcraft, and knew him in 1828. He was not per manently resident in London ; but was in the habit of com ing there about mice a week, generally on a Saturday, and left on the Sunday or Monday. His regiment was quar tered at Gosport. About February, he had leave of ab sence for two or three months ; he afterwards returned to his regiment. W. F. Collard—ls a partner in the firm of Clementi and Co. Knew Miss Love In 1828, and has known her mother a long time before she was married, and was on terms of in timacy many years before Miss Love went on the stage and since. He heard of her marriage in the beginning of January, 1829. He had occasion to write to Miss Love, and in that letter enclosed a note to her, informing her of the report. In her reply to him, she desired him not to be lieve a word about the matter. She afterwards wrote for him to call, and he went, when a conversation took place respecting the marriage, and she told him she had been married in the month of Nov. previously, without the know ledge of her mother, or Mr. Calcraft's father ; this was in February, 1829. She also stated, that immediately after the marriage an agreement was made that they should sepa rate, as her husband had not the means of supporting her out of his profession. Mrs. Calcraft requested witness to see Captain Calcraft, and inform him of the necessity of their remaining at present in the same way. In the month of April he had a letter, in consequence of which he went to her, and a conversation took place about her going into the country on an engagement, when Captain Calcraft should accompany her, and they might live together as man and wife, and continue to do so on their return to town. For he frequently heard her say that Captain Calcraft was most anxious and pressing that they should live so together, and when he afterwards saw Mr. Calcraft he so expressed himself in similar terms. There were several letters from Mr. Calcraft to his wife (which witness saw) and he approved of the arrangement, which had been proposed by Mrs. Calcraft. Mr. JEav is cross-examined witness. He bad been on terms of great intimacy with Miss Love. She wrote for him, and stated her object was for him to see Captain Cal craft, to prevent him from being so pressing for their living together, for it would be injurious to her, and her ruin in the profession. By the LORD CHANCELLOR.—Did you in that conver sation understand from Miss Love that the marriage was consummated ? Witness said, he could not in any conversation venture on such a subject with a lady. He understood that Mrs. Love and Captain Calcraft never were on good terms, either before or after the marriage. He understood from Miss Love that her mother did not know of her marriage, and that when Captain Calcraft visited, Mrs. Love never sat in the room with him. She did not say when the acquaintance began. Mrs. Calcraft told him that Cap tain Calcraft had followed her the preceding July to Peterborough, and that he then pressed the marriage. He understood from Miss Love, that after the marriage Lord Harborough had called on her mother, but did not see herself. She and Captain Calcraft were together in the room. That at another time Lord Harborough called, and said be would come and see her, if only for a moment, and then take leave of her for ever. Mrs. Calcraft at the time was dressing for the Opera, but sb purposely prolonged her dressing till it was time to go. When she came down stairs, to start, and was passing through the passage, Lord Harborough saw her and caught her by the hand, and pulled her into the parlour, when Captain Calcraft Lunt into the room, and some altercation took place. He thinks it was in February. In April, Mts. Calcraft, finding the fatigue of performing Lad injured her health, said she would go into the country to recruit it, and live very quiet and retired for a short time. Captain Calcraft wanted to know where she was gone. Witness had not heard from her that any cor respondence between Lord Harborough and her had taken place either before or subsequent to the marriage. They lived in this secret way from November to April. He bad known Miss Love all tier life. He had understood Lord Harborough was on good terms with her, but never from her that he came as n suitor, or was on any occasion alone with her. She rarely mentioned his name, and then only as a friend. Witness is not acquainted with his lordship, or whether he is musical ; but understood, when he called on Miss Love, she had occasionally song to him, hut never after 1 the marriage: nor did he hearof an) meeting, except those to which he had before alluded. She told him Lord Harbo rough was desirous to possess her after her marriage, but she would rather sweep the streets than be Lord Harborough's mistress. This conversation was after Lord Harborough had called. From what she said, he had no reason to think that Captain Calcraft knew of any intimacy after marriage with Lord Harborough. He had heard Captain Calcraft say he knew Lord Hai borough visited her before they were ac quainted, but nothing was said to lead to a supposition that he knew of any intimate acquaintance. Captain Calcraft thought her a very high-minded girl and of good character, and if she bad levities, they were only such as might have arisen fiom her profession, by which he meant such as ne cessarily occurred in her performances. He heard Capt. Cal craft say he was very indignant at both Lord Harborough and Mrs. Calcraft (in allusion to Lord Harborough's calling) at first, but did not suspect any thing wrong; but was satisfied on witness explaining the circuaitances. By Lord W YN FORD: -Understood the visiting of Captain Calcraft commenced long before the meeting at Peterborough in July. By the LORD CH A CELLOR.—MiSs Love, he understood, had lived at Sandhill, but not when Lord Harborough was there, nor during her visit to Sandhill had there been any communication with Lord Harborough. Mr, ADAM said, we have proved the elopement, but the judgment on the verdict for the damages of 1001. on the trial is not yet signed. We have the servants of Lord Har borough to produce, who will prove Lord Harborough and Miss Love are now living together. William Teesdale, examined by Mr. ADAM.—Was in the service of Lord Harborough in 1829 ; and he lived then at Stapleford-hall. In July his lordship gave directions for his going to Nottingham, where he went, and brought back with him a lady. She lived in the cottage in the same house as hib lordship, and slept in Lord Harborough's bed-chamber. Witness has seen her there in her dressing-gown, and Lord Harborough at the time in bed. Be thought her name was Miss Love, but she was called Emma—Lord Harborough called her so. By the LORD CHANCELLOR.—He had been in Lord Harborough's service twelve years ; he had the care of the cottage ; .he never was with him in town or at Sandhill. He had seen her perform at Vauxhall, but never saw her there with Lord Harborough ; he never received letters from her directed to Lord Harborugh. She came in the month of July, 1829, with Lord Harborough, and she has remained there since ; before which his lordship was living at Staple ford park, but not with her ; he went alone to Nottingham, and was absent about 24 hours; no preparations were made for her reception ; she was not expected, and he had never : ; i I 1 1 i • : 3, r I 1 ' )1 li I i I . i i • 1 , • I 1 I f .

FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, APRIL 18. This paper contains a confirmation of the capture of Diebitach, ex. tracted from the Globe and British Traveller 1 The doubts of the STAR were of coon not equal to the authentic advice, of its contempo raries ; but really such veracious authorities ought to be quoted here. after with a grain of allowance. Every attentive observer in the three kingdoms must be aware that, for some months, the foreign news In the STAR is, in nine cams in ten, twenty four hours earlier than its contem poraries. It is true, we say less of our authentic advice'," and " official despatches," because they are not so rare with us as with those who quote what they seldom get except at second-hand. Saturday, pursuant to a requisition of the Lord Mayor, convening "a meeting of the Mendicity Association, and of the hou seholders of Dublin, for the purpose of the managing committee resigning their trust, unless measures should be taken for the effectual support of the intim. don," &c. a meeting took place at Morrison's Great Rooms. At half. past one o'clock, the Chair was taken by the Lord Mayor. The following is a statement of the financial condition of the In stitution 3 General annual expenditure .. • . ... Z 9,000 0 0 Average Weekly expenses .. 230 0 0 Debts now due by the Association • • 8011 11 2 The Association receives annually— Interest ou legacies and donations 021 1 8 The value of stock on hand is about ... .. 200 0 0 And the money at present on hands, amounts only to 137 0 0 On looking to thoprinted returns they found that there were in Dublin, 17,324 houses, of these 4,453 paid towards the Institution, and of that number he found that there were seven who contributed the vast sub. scription of Id. a year; nine who contributed 2d. a year ; there were 140 who subscribed large sums, varying in amount from 11. to 50L :k"r9 houses which subscribed 2s. 6d. a year • 728 which subscribed 3s. a vets , and a number who subscribed smaller sums. It is quite plain that the Institution cannot go on depending upon expedients (hear). —lt was not to he expected that the person who had hitherto con tributed 201. a year would hereafter continue to do so, when be saw four out of five who did not contribute a single shilling—it was not in human nature to do it—it was not in human justice to expect it. It was necessary that something should be done for the In stitution, otherwise the unfortunate wretches should he driven out into the streets. If it became necessary to let loose the mendicants upon the public, it would not be alone the 3000 individuals of that institu tion that they would let out upon the city, but others would flock Into the metropolis when they found that street begging was countenanced, and every reprobate and ruffian that was now restrained by n salutary terror would nod it a cloak fur his villainy. The city would be com pletely overrun by such a deluge of wretchedness and a mass of human rubery would so completely block up the streets, that ladies would find it impossible to enter a shop, and shopkeepers to carry on their business -- ICING D. &Comeau., 31.

Costello, the agent of the traverser, in the late prodasuadon state prosecution that they will be required to appear in the King's Bench on Wednewfay, to receive the sentence of the Court. This proceeding is so strange anti unexpected, that we know not how to interpret it. What object can be aimed at by again lighting the torch of national discord, we are unable to conjecture. We believe, however, that there was a specific understanding last term that the traverse» should not be imprisoned until s writ of error to dispose of the law of the came should be argued.

Immediately after Mr. Steele posted his address, he mounted on horseback and rode to a place among the mountains, on the borders of Cialway, where he bad information that a very numerous body of the Terry Alt, would be assembled. He gave them a solann exhortation, and told them of the consequence of the system which was pursued in the county ; and at parting told them of his having put up the address at Ennis.—Clare Sentinel.

Pursuart to a requisition numerously signed, and whitened to the high sheriff°, Roscommon, calling upon him to convene a meeting of the nobility, gentry, and freeholders of the county, for the purpose of giving their support to the plan of reforitt now advocated by his Ma jesty's Alinisters, and of petitioning both houses of parliament, that the same be immediately eroded into effect, a oumerous and highly respectable meeting took place in the Court-house of Roscommon, on Saturday last. Among those present we observed the follow ing Oen:lcmen :—Edmond Naghten, of Thomastown Park, the High Sheriff t O. D. J.

In Galway, a meeting of magistrate, was held on Wednesday last, when they came to the determination to apply to Government to have 100 policemen embodied, in addition to the 400 called for at the recent meeting in Eyre Court. The Western Argos states, that thirty of the Terry Alto concerned in the attack on Sir John Burke's, at Marble-hill, were arrested in the neighbourhood of Loughrea, on the Information of one of their own body. The informer was a deserter, named Cabana!). Murray, the man convicted at the late Cavan Assists, of a felonious assault on an old woman, named Oliver, has been saved from the ignominious d eath which the law awards to those convicted of such an offence as that with which he stood charged. On Friday the Lord Lieutenant determined that his sentence should be commuted to trans portation. We have heard ftom a correspondent in Cavan, that Change. men as well as Catholics were most anxious to save the life of this un. fortunate man. Mr. Lawessm—Mr. Lawless arrived in this city yesterday, from Limerick, where he hasibeen for the last week. We are glad to see this gentleman in the enjoyment of his accustomed health, spirits, and buoyancy, and when we consider the scenes through which he Ito pissed, and the fidelity with which he has ever fought th e battles of his coun try, we are quite willing to admit it required no ordinary share of en ergy to work through with the success of which Mr. Latrine may bout. To this gentleman mainly were the forty-shilling freeholders indebted for the of that power which proved the triumph of the Catholic rx:roi,z._ to that unprecedented manifestation of national feeling in the North of Ireland in 1828—we mean the affair at any time, seen Lord Harborongh with her before that day. By Mr. ADAM—Lord Harborough left Stapleford for Not tingham that week more than once, before be returned with the lady. By Lord WYNTORD—Nottingham is about 22 miles from Stapleford. Elizabeth Coy.—Lived in Lord Harborough's service in the month ofJ uly, 1829, at Stapleford-park, and remembers a lady coming. She assisted her in dressing. She had not seen her before. The lady slept in the same bedroom with his Lordship for the ten months she was there. His Lordship called her Emma. By the LORD CHANCELLOR.—In the family they called her Miss. she never saw her before. Mr. ADAM said, he had proved the serving Mrs. Calcraft with a copy of the bill on his Lordship's premises. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—There has been no motion for a new trial. Mr. ADAM.—If your Lordship will let the case stand over, I will prove the judgment, but I must have time to find Lord Harborough, for the damages. The Loan CHANCELLOR agreed to the postponement, and said, perhaps, in the mean time, you may procure more evi dence as to the ignorance of Mr. Calcraft of any intimacy between Miss Love and Lord Harborough, and another point. Perhaps Mrs. Love or some one might be called. At 5 o'clock, adjourned to Monday. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. CHELTENHAM JOURNAL, APRIL 18. ARRITALS.I6Ofd T. Cecil, Count Sobolinke, Hon.

TENBY.--We understand that it is the intention of the Bristol Ge neral Steam-Packet Company, to establish a 11'st-class steamer, of nearly 300 tons burthen, and 100 horse power, to ply between that city and Tenby, for the conveyance of passengers, goods, and live stock. Considerable disapprobation was manifested when Sir Charles We therell made his public entry into Bristol, as Kecor der, on Saturday last, in consequence of his open and avowed opposition to the Reform Bill. The people assembled in great numbers, and hooted and hissed him as his carriage passed along. The bill preferred against Alexander Buller, for having in his pos.. session three 101. notes, knowing them to be stolen, was thrown out by the Grand Jury. Considerable applause was manifested in Court at the result, but was immediately checked by the Recorder, who remarked upon the indecency of visiting any decision of a Jury with either ap plause or censure. Immediately on the fact being known , Mr. Shep pad, die gentleman in whose employ the accused had been , applied for discharge, and we understand he was taken away in that gentleman's carriage, after receiving the congratulation of many friends, who had come to Bristol to offer voluntary , testimony in his favour. DREADFUL THUNDER tivoam.—On Tuesday night, the thunder and lightning broke forth with terrific effect in the neighbourhood of Trowbridge. At Rood Ashton, the electric fluid fell upon a farm house, near the residence of Richard Lung, Esq. and so *bettered the end wall, that it was instantly a heap of stones, and the adjacent win dows were shivered to pieces. It then pasted through two floors, and upset two buckets of water in the kitchen. When the family were awakened from the panic of the moment, they found a great deal of the furniture destroyed, anti an umbrella, bonnet, and shawl burnt to ctn. den ; but though the shock was so violent that many of the large stones were hurled to a considerable distance from the house, they found the children in bed uninjured, and none of the f am ily had re ceived the slightest harm.

Mr. Lawless would at this moment be the Member for Meath, were it not for die •legal bar. which a peculiar contingency i n Mr. Lawless's life threw up against him. This bar, we have been in formed, and we trust correctly, is set aside, and can no longer be urged on any future occasion. The trades of Limerick, when Mr. Lawles s was there last week, as well as many gentlemen of the most respectable claw, had an impression that it was his Intention to canvass the electors of Limerick. Mr. Lawless's object, however, in visiting the South, is not a public one at present. lie is continuing his work of the Iliskry of Ireland, which he means to carry down to the Catholic relief bill, commencing with the first George. To this work Mr. Lawless is ob. twining subscriptions, and we need not add, to effect such an object, on Irishman with his claims, will have nogrest difficulty—Cork Aferean We Chronicle, April 13. We understand that the attorney of Mr. O'Connell received a notice, on Friday night, that it was the intention of the government to call tha t gentleman and his friends up for judgment. A very few hours befor e that time Mr. Hunt was accusing the hon. and learned member, in the House of Commons, of having entered into a compromise to avert tilt call ! Here is at length a fact that cannot be controverted against idle and senseless conjecture, and we hope we shall hear no snore of the compromise. But is i. wise, after all, to revive the battle about the proclamations P—for, as there is an appeal to a Court of Error, to which the parties inculpated are determined to have recourse, it is still a batik. Is the notice the act of the Crown Office, or of the Executive ? It h difficult to believe it to be the former—but yet, without supposing that a downright fatuity predominates here or in England on thiN unfortunate question. how can we imagine it to be the latter?

While Mr. Kumar was arguing in an appeal of the Attorney-Ge neral v. the Corporation of Newbury, in which the question wee a qua. don of account, The LORD CHANCELLOR Inquired whether the Learned Counsel meant him to infer, from the strain of his argument, that if a set of men were trustees for two distinct charities, they could, with impunity, ap ply the funds of the one to the purposes of the other ? Mr. KNIGHT said, that while the law of the Court remained as it was, that certainly was the ease. In proceeding with his argument, he referred to a report of the " Attorney-General v. the Mayor and Cor i poration of Exeter," in support of a proposition raised by him, which occasioned the following extraordinary scene : The Loan CHawczu.oz—What is the name of the book, Mr. Knight ?

The LORD CH/INDZILOR—Or Is there any thing here that prevents the Judge of this Court asking such a question as is asked every day and every hour in every other Court ? Mr. IC:fumy—No, Ido not say there is (still standing, and holding the book open In his hand.) The Loao Crtaxcm.Loa—Then what is it ? (warmly and stilliori.
