This was a question as to the admissibility of a libel offered on the part of Lady Kirkwall, in a cause of divorce, hist i and by her ladyship against Lord Kirkwall, by reason of alleged ailtdiery. The libel pleaded, that Lord and Lady Kirkwall were mar ried by special lieenre in August, 1802, at Ahrergelly, in Den bighshire ; that they lived together titina that lime nntil the year 1809, and Irad two chadren. A separation then took place, in consequence i•f some unhappy differences which had arisen between them ; and her ladyship has sine resided i n varions ph.ces at the xve:t end of the town, it: , :trt from his lordship. The libel earther pleaded, that in the beginning of ' the year 1814, Lend Kirkwall fointed a criminal iitterconrse with a woman of the name tieTayliir, or Hmikin alto tired in Indeitopt, in Park Place, Grosvenor•s/piate t and that he, from that ?AMC, became in the habit of visiting her there for erns& nal piirpeses.

Ina suit pending in the Admiralty Court, in which Lord Cockrane claims head money for the capture of the La Ville de Verso% ie, in Basque Roads, the Proctor on the opposite side contends against the Court receiving his Lordship's oath, by virtue of the law, which declares the testimony of a person convicted et a conspiracy to defraud, inadmissible.. Abraham Ball, one of the eleven convicts who escaped on the rith instant from Chelmstind gaol, was brought up by Golf and Hall, by whom lie was apprehended on the pre ceding evening, in the neighbourhood of Ciirnabydnarket. His identity being ascertained, the officers who had hint in - = custody were ordered to convey him iu safety to his old lodg ing: at Clichubford. Oil Monday morning, a young man and woman took a boat at Cat'er's-bridge to cross the Thames; when about the mid. dle of the river, the latter got up in the boat, and being in a state of intoxication, clasped the young mast toned the neck, and precipitated both into the water; the man was saved sy the boatman, but the woman was drowned. DREADFUL FIRE.-- - atorday week a fire took place art the premises of Mr. Good, Ship builder, at /iridium. It cummeneed in the tar-room, which co 111111 l manning with a very extensive mold loft and ropewalk, bulb coveted with thatch, the whole of which it consumed, together with every other building in the yard, with Mr. Good's dwelltog-house, a part only of the furniture being sated. The vessel. , on the stocks, as well as those laying in the harbour, were (with the greatest difficulty) saved. The whole yard exhibited the next morning a distressing scene, the timber burning in all directions tbr the space of four acres. Thursday morning. about two o'clock, a most alarmieg fire broke mit at the house of Mr. Henderson, piano-forte manu facturer, Newcastle-place, Cferkenwell, and in a short time communicated to that of Mr. Haynes, silversmith, and Mr. bricklayer, entirely contouning the three homes, and spreading itself backward to the great alarm of the inha bitants of some of the smaller houses. By the timely arrival of the engines, however, it was got node' by ten o'clock. We are happy to iear no lives were lost, though it was with great difficulty a young female was saved. It is said it was occa sioned by a fire being imprudently left iu the grate after the family had retired to rest. Friday morning an accident of an extraordinary nature huppene Ito a young lady, on her proceeding to St. G urge's Clint eh Hanoverstpiare, in order to be there married.
