The Mere:Lint had c'eaded as guilty, atd urcn thikissue ivas joi.tcd. - THE NATI ON AL REGISTER . Mr. Scarlett, in his address to the Court and Jury, stated that the plaintiff was by preeession a law stationer, living in.Chancery lane. lie waf a person of ancut respectability, and•found himself under the painful necessity of bringing this action, to recover cennleasation nu the injary which Le hail sustained by the se diution of his wife. 'Flied:tandem was a young man. the son of Mr. Derbyddre, en apothecary and surgeon of 6011. e eminence (carrying un business ore diernenoureet. Oxford-street.) Ile held a situation in the offioe of Mr. rchilaald -Campbell, en army agent, and also held the commi :shin of en ensign in his ltlajesty's service. in. the year to f the plaintiff became acquainted with the lady whosemiseosduct turned the subject of the present pro endires. end afterwards worried her. She was the daughter of Sir Henry iaavid Peak°, who was a surveyor of his Majesty's navy. After theenarriage took place, they lived together, in greet harmony, and with uninterrupted coofidenee And affection, till duringeome portion of the last year. In the. course of the last year, sir HenryTeake fetal his family went upeao a trip to France. Mr. Eeacock and his wile setwonipani.-I theta, and were absent from this country about eight days. %Vitale in France, the plain tiff had the miefortune to form come degree of intimacy with the defendant. A heir, who was in the house of Sir Henry Peake. 61. s acquainted whit the family of the defendant, and thus he, and a brother who accompanied him, were repewedly invited to speed the evening. Thus an intimacy grew up bet Ween the families, and-they were occasionally in the habit of meeting each.other. Some time in the course of last year the plaintiff observed that hi: a ife did not pay the seine attention to beef:to:4. aa she had been previously accentoimal to do. Ile should have stated that the fruits of the marriage were two children, a 'boy and a Oh the eldest of whom was five years of age. It was remarked that the lady adOpted &practice which was very unusual with her sat any furnwr period. She walked nut every day, and at an hour of die clay which the jury wind(' find it probable was most convenient fur ho!ding a meeting with the defendant It was true that they occasionally iwet togttlese in the evening at Mr. Peacock's house; but Mr. Peacock being a domestic man, and spending his leisure dnie with Li family , no opportunity was adimied for. that species of intercourse which their passionate feelings suggested. Thus the ladv.found itorinvezient to walk out very frequently, and in • stead of taking her children with her, (the eldest of whom was at leapt a eiceitable campanion,)and. which she had been is the-prac ice of doing, she went elope, alleging that they acre rather an incumbrance. He should he able to call evidence to prove, that about the time alien the intimacy between Afrs. - Peacock and the elehatelant coninienced, the former was observed to neglect her family duties. This unhappy woman exhibited ell those symp toms of neglect to her family. Mr. I'eacock in consequence of what he Kew, watched her motions, and traced her very fie queatly in visits to the neighbourhood of Soho-square. At this tune Mr. Peacock had not the least suspicion of the defendant. who was several years younger than iilrs.l'encock. It was nut till towards the close of the Lit year, as Nit Peacock was going to bed, that any thing occurred upon which a correct conclusion could be funned. (in that occasion Mr Peacock observed his wife in some degree of confusion, as if she wished to conceal from his notice somet h ing which she had in her hand. He should have iafonned them, that at this time a brother of Mr. Peacock, an °Meer in the navy, was on a visit to hint, and had gone to bed. ,Mr. Pa:emit kept his eye upon the lady, and nt last sew her con• ct&,a paper in sane part o: the heel. This induced hint to snatch the &era with sonic . (11 14 1.1 2e VielerVe. Her .001rinct et the I instint pmved the im p or ta nce which site attached to it. It was ' btlifiCient to say, that she conducted herself in the most violent manner. She fl dlowed her. husbafid dawn.stalrs, undteseed as she wile, and blew cut the,light to prevent his reading the paper. Ile, hineever, /wiled the strevt doer in order that be. might gra ticy his,curittaitv es well as his anxiety. by tho light _of the !amp; but' her conduct was such as to prevents his efforts, until his bro. they arrived, when the letter, which he should now rend, was seemed. This letter was in the hand-writing of the delendapt, .and the jury would judge from its contents ulna degree of inter course bad taken place between the earths,. Before he read this 'cue!, lie would make an observation which he considered appli • cable to adl eases of this nature. This was they letter:—" What will you think of me, my dearest Alary ? The blockheads in this Mine did not give use voter letter till this morning—all credit is doe w you fief your excellent centrivance—aml I shall cot forget Mrs. Smith (the feigneel name by which this lady was addressed).

I did not, it is true. arrive here from the city yesterday till a il th e clerk s gone. but they should have left my letter with the servant.

AU these, however, are hit possibilities, against which, you know, it is my pl en ale ays to he on guard.
