Mr. Sergeant MEREWRATH ER appeared at the bar in support of the petitioner in this case, Mr. Samuel Le Fevre. The learned gentleman proceeded to state the facts of the case. Itlr. Le Fevre, he said, was Collector of Customs, at Southampton, and in the year 1810 married Miss Blau Ro berts. with whom be lived in the utmost harmony until the month of May, 1830. The Lorat CHANCEL Los here inquired whether any Course' attended on the other side, and was answered in the uegative. Mr. Sergeant MESEWEAT HER said that Mr. Le Fevre was obliged to visit London early in the year 1830, on a trial, and his wife was with him. the remained in town on acceunt of ill health, and became acquainted with Sir John Miles Winnington, with whom she tarried on an adulterous intercourse. Mr. Le Fevre, before he discovered this, had sent a female servant from Southampton, to conduct his wife home; but she alleged her state of hea lth wculd not allow her to leave London, and the servant returned without her. Mr. Lc Fevre sent a second time for his wife, but she did not return, and on the servant going back to Southampton, lie was first made acquainted with his wife's infidelity. Mr. Le Fevre brought an action against Sir John Miles %Yin nington, in which judgment went by default. The Jury as • d the damages at 6001. Since that a divorce had been obtained in the Ecclesiastical Court. A witness named Walker proved having served, on the 30th of June, a copy of the bill on hire. Le Fevre, who, it appeared, was then residing at a house in Thanet-place, Strand. Mr. Jas. L. Gawler, the pirish clerk of &. Mary's Lam beth, produced the marriage regisier, from which he read an entry, showing that the maireige betvieen Mr. and Mrs. Le Fevre was solemnised on thilleOth of June, 1810. Witness was present at the tams. In answer to a question from the 'Loan CHANCELLOR, the witness said he did know either of the parties, nor was he acquainted with their handwriting. • Mrs. Ellen Mien was next called, and, on being shown the entry in the parish register, she deposed to the halid writing of Mrs. Le Fevre. She said she had seen her write, Mary Parkman examined.-1 was In the service of Mr. and Mrs. Le Fevre in the year 1&16. I recollect their lea,. ing Southampton fur London. My mistress remained in lAmtlon on account of her health. I was sent by my master fur her. She would not return with me. She was ill at the time. I was sent a second time for her. She again re. fused to return. I found her lodging in Vilb re-street. Strand, and went with her to a house in Canterbury-place, Kent road. She was constantly visited by Sir John Miles Win. nington when at the latter place. He was with her very often all night. By the Loan CIIANCILLOR—.When I returned to Southampton, I told my master of the circumstance of his wife being visited by Sir John Miles Winnington. When I told my master he was much affected—he cried very much. My mistress told me as the reason why she would not go with me to S. , uthampton the first time l came IT, that she could not on account of her health being so indifferent. She was then attended by a medical man ; sbe was indeed ill ; she kept her bed three weeks. I did not return to my ails fter I had made the communication which I have stated ; she would not again receive me. The intercourse with Sir John Mites Winnington, when she lived in Can terbury-place, was carried on for six or seven weeks ; I had no means of going to tell my master ; 1 can write, but I did not write to him ; I might have put a letter in the poet. office. 1 left Mrs. Le Fevre because I did not choose to held with her. Ido not know why I did not acquaint my master the first week, rather than the last in which I lived with my mistress. After a further examinationlof this witness, but from whom nothing material In addition to what is given was elicited, the case was adjourned for the production of other witnesses. It may not be unimportant to state that this is the first case in which the proceedings of a Court of law,in uniformity to Lord Wynford's resolution—now made a standing order of the House—were produced. At copy of the resolution was given In our paper on Friday last. Two inches of rain fell yesterday morning, be tween three o'clock and ten, in and round London. Barometer, 29.45 inches. Wind, N.E.

Never theless proximity may so increase intercourse, as to affect Sweden, but we may hence infer that our insular situation is a protection, if we prevent in tercourse. How TO GET INTO TILE GAZTTTE.-.-PUTChase a share in a newspaper—take the lease of one of the winter theatres—start a coach on any of the short stages—take a bet that a prize-fight will be honestly terminated— go to a club-house, and give odds' against the passing of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords—or contract for building a chain pier from Dover to Calais. MET ROPOLI TAN RoA Ds.—The Commissioners of Metropolitan Turnpikes report, that the road I from Camden-town to Tottenham will be completed this season. The improvement at Enfield is completed. The new road across Epping Forest is opened. The improved line from the Uxbridge to the great western road, estimated at 16,0001. has been effected for 4,.5001. They have removed another principal turnpike-gate from the street of Kentish-town. Their receipts and balance in hand amount to 83,4051. 19s. sd. The expences of the year are 81,1121. 9s. 6d. leaving a balance of 2,2931. 9s. I Id. The excellent state of the roads is matter of congratulation, as is the state of the finances. DISTRICT or CIIELSEA.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Chelsea was held on Monday, pur suant to public notice, Mr. Bettewortb, one of the churchwardens, in the chair, to consider the most !effectual means of providing that the western dis trict of tho metropolis, commonly known as the Kensington Division, comprising Chelsea, Ken sington, Fulham, Hammersmith, and Brompton, may not be excluded from the extension of the elective franchise. Several gentlemen stated their sentiments in support of this measure, including Mr. Nlacdonnell, who referred to the Parliamen tarp• bills and returns connected with the reform question, to show that the district could not, with out great injustice, be denied equal rights with the other metropolitan districts named in the bill. He alluded particularly to Lambeth, and the district comprising Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich, to each of which the western district closely ap proximated in population, the difference in amount being but very small; and, he observed, that Chel sea alone contained a larger population than any one of the 26 districts to which it was proposed by the bill to grant one representative, and which Isxr: or MAN.—Population 40,090—increase since 1821. 895. Dou;,las, 6.786. MEETING OF MALTSTERS.—On Saturday last a meet ing of Mahaters resident in the town of Leeds and its Imme diate vicinity was held at the Court-house, pursuant to ad journment, 51r. John Spence in the chair : when it was re solved,—" That the secretary for the Leeds district of the Illaltsters' General Association be requested to correspond with the Committee in London on the propriety of taking measures for the abolition of the system of couching barley; and of substituting instead a method of locking up the sill terns, and charging the ditty on bailey there." REPRISENTATION OF HALIFAX.-.-We are informed that the Tories of Halifax have sent an invitation to one of the sons of the Earl of Harewood. to offer himself as a can- &date for the representation of ihat town, as soon as the Reform Bill shall be carried ; and that Mr. Lasalle' has declared that be will be proud to accept the honour of re presenting Halifax. It is known that Michael Stocks, Esq. has been invited to the same honourable station. Query— can there be any connexion between these facts and Lord Harewood's attempt to get Mr. Stocks removed from the Commission. Dr. iVarwick is about to lecture at the Philosophical Hall, in this town, on the interesting subject of Electra. Magnetism. BODY•ST,EALDIC—THE KING V. JOHN HODGSON. John Hodgson, clerk to a solicitor in this town, was charged with unlawfully breaking and entering the chapel yen? at Wortley, near this town, and there unlawfully dis interring the dead body of Thomas Rothery. Mr. Dlackhurne stated the case on the part o' the prose cution. Mr. Htxlgson conducted his defence in person, Mr. Hall cross-examining the witnesses. It in unnecessary to enter Into any detail of the evidence in support of the charge, as the fact of taking away the body for the purpose of dissection was admitted by the de fendant. Thomas Rothery, who had been scalded to death, was interred in Wortley-chapel-yard, on the 29th May.— (Sunday) On the following Wednesday it was discovered that the body had been disinterred, and it appeared that the defendant and another person had hired a hackney car, and had proceeded to the place of interment and brought the body away, which was deposited in Mr. Gaunt's office, -4bere it was afterwards found by the constable, who caused it to he re•interred. This being the case on the part of the prosecution, Mr. Hodgson, in his defence, which was scarcely audible to the reporters, explained, that his cultivation of scientific pursuits, particularly anatomy, arose from his having been educated in Edinburgh. He vindicated the dissection of the dead, because it was for the benefit and protection of the living, particularly the poor, essential to the interests of sci ence and humanity, and indispensable to the education of a mil-informed man, particularly to medical men and to law. yers. He contended, that it was not contrary to the law of the land. The ancient law authorities are silent, there was no statute against it, it was only in modern times that it bad been considered an offence at common law, and be maintained that modern decisions cannot create the unwrit. ten law of the land. Besides the statute law tontrouls and repeals the common law, and as pupilsare compelled by sta*nte to obtain a knowledge of dissection before they can be admitted as surgeons, and thus the necessity of obtaining bodies is created by the law, he submitted, that the law, in justice, cannot punish for that which the law makes neces sary to be done. On these grounds, and on the insuffici ency of the evidence, he asked for an acquittal by the Jury. Mr. T. T. Metcalfe, of Leeds, surgeon, spoke to the fact of the defendant being an anato mist. Dr. Disney Thorp and Mr.Whildsmitb, surgeon, of Leeds, stated that anatomical science wart frequently studied by gentlemen intended for the law. Mr. James Richardson. solicitor had been acquainted with the defendant three or four years. During that time his general character had been exceedingly good. There was not a more respectable young man in the town of Leeds than Mr. Hodgson. He had had considerable opportunities of knowing his legal knowledge—it was an advancing state, and he wished all the young practitioners in Leeds were like him as well informed. Mr. Eddison knew the defendant—thought he was fond of the study of anatomy, and that his legal attainments were respectable. Alf. Gaunt said the defendant was his articled clerk, and had been so three years and a half. His character had been highly respectable in every respect. As far as he knew his general attainments they were very good. He had had some very good clerks. but he believed the defendant was the best he ever had—his industry was unbounded. Mr. Blackburn replied. The Deputy Recorder, after recapitulating the evidence, said he vu convinced that the body had been obtained for the purpose of science, and not for sale. The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty. The Court sentenced him to be confined in the Castle of York, fur the space of six weeks, to enter into recogni sances to keep the peace for two years; himself in 1001. and two sureties of 501. each.

SAGE TEA .-Sir John Sinclair has just published a pamphlet of a few pages in length, intitled " Medical Hints for further Consideration and Inquiry," in which he treats of sage tea, the siesta, the bites of serpents, and the cholera morbus. Sage tea he strongly recommends in stomachic com plaints. He was led to try it for the removal of inflammation of the uvula and parts adjacent which ' continued after the use of external remedies. He says, " being convinced that all this proceeded, from the stomach, I resolved to try the effects of " sage tea," of the virtues of which I had long entertained a favourable opinion ; and, to my great satisfaction, I found that by using it, not only the swelling and defluxion disappeared, but that the stomach was brought into so healthy a state, that a whiteness on the tongue, with which I had been previously troubled, was removed. In every other respect also my health was materially amended. I only took a wine glass of sage tea occasionally, and about a pint in a day. 1 consider it to be one of the most valuable of stomachic remedies, and that the old praises in favour of sage (when it is properly used) are not exaggerated. Indeed, lam convinced, if these hints were properly attended to, that complaints in the throat and the stomach would be oftener removed than they are at present, and that the health of multitudes would be greatly improved. 7 •,---.,~ -~--- enter into subscriptions, in order to afford means of procuring redress by the ordinary course of law. Richard O'Gorman, Esq. was called to the chair, and Thomas Reynolds, Esq. appointed Secretary. Mr. O'Oorman, on taking the chair, said—You are called tether to consider a subject of great importance—you are railed to consider recent outrage that has been comositted in Newtownbarry. In the history of our unfortunate country we have many such atrocious deeds to dwell upon—(hear, hear) —but none more atrocious than that perpetrated on a late occasion, in which so many persons were, I will not say murdered, for Ido not wish to anticipate the verdict of a *.y, but from the report of the evidence on the coroner's inquest, I might say so—(hear.) You will speak in that calm and dignified manner as becomes the subject, and set as you have always done, with spirit and determinadoo.-- (Loud cheering.) On the first resolution being put front the chair, Counsellor Finn rose and said, that though having met together on many occasions, he believed they never met on one when it was more requisite to be cautious that on the present occasion. He would as soon abuse a madman armed with a ;sword as those yeomen, whom the government have armed and enabled to perpetrate these foul murders. Yes ; who have enabled them to commit this wild carnage? It is the government—that Machiavelian system of govern ment which has so long swayed this country, and to which the faction owe their importance and their existence. (Cheers.) For five and twenty years have the Whigs been loud in their cries against this faction. that they were unjust and animated by a spirit of ascendancy, that they have re peatedly spilt the blood of the people and massacred them —and yet in the teeth of these assertions, while the blood of the murdered victims is still fresh on the green earth, they put arms into the hands of this ferocious yeomanry, and talk of their loyalty in terms of insulting disparage. ment to the inhabitants of this ill treated kingdom.— (Hear, hear, heat.) If the Peels and the Wellingtons had armed them and so talked, it would be natural as old com panions and associates, but that the Greys who had hereto- fore in no measured language abused those men, could now talk of their loyalty, their tried loyalty, is what is past endurance. (Cheers.) What loyalty have they above and superior to ours? (Hear.) Don't we pay taxes, don't we discharpe our • duties as subjects as well, if not better, than limy do? (Cheers.) Why then talk of their superior loyalty, and give them the exclusive privilege of carrying arms as if alone worthy to be entrusted with their possession ? If the hundredth part of the pains were taken to conciliate as there is to sow the seeds of discord, Ireland would present a far different aspect from what she does at present. There were six hundred cases of arson, of destruc tion of cattle and machines, and such like atrocities com mitted by Englishmen, and yet we heard not a word upon these things, all was gentle and soft where Englishmen were the perpetrators of outrage. Butt in Ireland we have an Algerine Act to crush us, should we attempt to open our lips or utter a single syllable on what vitally concerns the best interests of our country, and whoever is bold enough to talk of independence, he is made a rebel of—this is the secret of the Newtownbarry affair. (cheers) But let us await the decision, though I know it will be but a bottle of smoke, they will find judges of the right sort and juries of the true colour, of tried loyalty (sheen)—the verdict will be such as we all know. But I have no ambition to be incarcerated in the dungeons of Newgate, or to implicate the printer who may give publicity to my sentiments, by speaking out the whole truth, fur the greater the truth the greater the libel (hear, hear), otherwise I would a dreadful tale un fold. You know what I think, but which I dare not give utterance to - for we should unite the cunning of the serpent and the mildness of the dove. After some observations on the Arms bill, Mr. Finn concluded, and sat down amidst loud cheering. 31r. Nugent said, as a 'Westmeath man, he would offer a few observations upon the massacre at Castlepollard. It was as unwarrantable an attack as ever took place. Mr. N agent concluded by stating, that all the people required was justice. Mr. Thomas Reynolds then said, after the able speech of the gentleman who last spoke, and who is a native of Cas tlepollard, nothing but my sense of duty could afford me an excuse far presuming to oiler any observations on those foul, bloody, and unrelenting massacres. In no other country, except degraded Ireland, could such conduct pass with im punity. We are a patient people, and we will continue so; but we wait with anxiety for the decision of the jury, on those foul and deliberate murders. I agree with Mr. Finn, that it is dangerous to trust one's feelings upon such a sub ject, but there arc times when people must speak out, and ought to speak out, and the dungeon or the jibbet shall never deter me from advocating the cause of justice and of Old Ireland (cheers). Mr. Reynolds then adverted to the repeal of the Union. He said die hearts of the people are set upon repeal, and it must and shall be accompliehed. Have any arguments ever being put forward against it ? Have not all tne scribes and proprietors of the base rags of Dublin been endeavouring in vain to bring forth a single argument? Have not the 3 liberal papers advocated it without a reply being attempted ? Have not the high-minded editors of the Freeman., the talented editor of the he/Aster, and the clever editor of the Pilol, challenged them to answer their argu ments, and received no answer ? If I know any thing of mercantile affairs, partners ought to have equal shares in the profits, but we are allowed none of the profits, and obliged to bar all the lose. We export annually ten millions of pro duce, and the people at the same time living spectres wrapped in rags. For instance, look to the exhibition of yesterday ; you saw in your streets those who were formerly your Nourishing merchants and thriving artisans, exhibiting Weir emaciated frames, for the purpose of creating sympathy in the hearts of their fellow-citizens. Let Anglesey and Whig Stanley look to that. We are 700 years apprenticed to Eng land, and under Catholic and Protestant monarchs the same minciple has been maintained—English ascendancy. For my part, I expect little from the Whig administration, and I'll tell you why ? Because when a disposition was evinced en the part of the Irish members to enact poor laws that would make the bloated bishop and the haughty aristocrat contribute to the support of the starving peasantry. Lord Althorp stood up and said no; we shall do something else. Will you, Lord Althorp, repeal the Union ? (Cheers. — Will you repeal the depopulating subletting act? Will you w fthe robbing vestry bill, and the grand jury laws— clt put my life and die life of every other man in Ireland in the hands of Judkin Butler', and David 111•Cleery ? Will you have equal numbers of catholics and protestints in the yeomen ? Adverting to the massacres, Mr. Reynolds said— Has it not been proved beyond doubt that Graham ordered the yeomen to fire without having read the riot act ? I say that wader such circumstances it is murder, and what else can we call it ? (Cheers.) We demand justice, and justice we shall have. Mr. Finn, when speaking of the massacre at Newtownbarry, said nothing about the cause. He did not tell you the cause. He did not tell you erectile peasant is obliged to sell his blanket to support the gorged and bloated bishops and the fat parsons, and never receives anything in re turn. I respect Protestants, and would be far from say ing anything disrespectful of thetn : but when I see bishops with such incomes, and curates with only 7M. a year, how can I help remarking upon it. Mr. Reynolds spoke at great length concerning the church establishment. Mr. Reynolds then went on to show that the church of England and Wales costs more than all the other churches of the Christian world put together. He concluded by saving that the only remedy for Ireland was a reformed domestic Par liament ; and though Irishmen would not attempt to throw any obstacle in the way of the present reform bill, yet they did not expect any material good to Ireland from it, or from anything but repeal.—(Great cheers.) The Chairman next one and sddteseed some observations to the meeting, in the course of which he spoke (amidst loud murmurs) of tire impracticability of accomplishing the toped of the Union. As being a tried friend of Ireland (observed Mr. O'Gorman) I claim the indulgence I have granted to others of giving free utterance to my sentiments. I think repeal impracticable, for England has benefited so muck from the miseries of Ireland. that she will never restore it but by blood. Then it becoroes a question of force, are we then able to fight ? (Loud and continued cheering.) I doubt it from the history of the country. One solitary man, Emmet, came forward, and those he had confided in aban doned hint before he went half-way up Thomas-street; yes, it was those who now think so courageously abandoned him there (loud cries of " more shame for them"—" the times are altered.") It would be too much of us to say that Go vernment will not do justice in the cues of Newtownbarr7 and Castlepollard if they do not then my confidence ceases. One thing, I am sure, you wilidocredit to me for—sincerity. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Finn rose to reply to Mr. O'Gorman. We regret that the press of other matter will not permit us to give his triumphant refutation of Mr. O'Gorman's as.. sertions as to the impracticability of the rep-ml of the Union. The subject seemed to have inspired him whit more than human eloquence; and the learned vendors* sat down amidst thunders of applades.
