`,~ . COURT OF CHANCERY, Tounsoar, Nov. 6. This being the first day of term, the Lotto CNA xcsi.t.on entertained the Judges at breskrast in the Hall of Lincoln's tun. A little before ore o'clock their Lordships departed fn- their respeeire courts, anal the Lord Chancellor shortly :.cterwards took his seat upon the bench to administer jus tice to the suitors in Chancery. Mr. Hair haring been heart at great length in the case of Merry aid Wife, e. Camar att.! Wife. The Lone ( . 11ANCEI.LOR then rose, in consequeinee of an appointment which he said that be had male with one of the.littiges. His Lordship also added, that he hail that morning seen 11r. Justice Park regarding the notes which, had been alluded to the other day in the matter of Mr. tioutlay and the Duke of Somerset. Mr. Justice Park lead complained to him of the improper manner in which those notes had been taken from him, and had said, that as soon as they %sere returned to him; he would make his re port in judicial matr.ner. All the papers in that case must be submitted to him (the Lord Chancellor) tomorrow morn ;we by both parties, or lie would not hear a word from either of them. _ _ _ Air. noun A* here rise, and holding some papers in his rand towards his Lordship. said, "I am ready, now, my Lord ; here are my papers." His Lfird4hi;l. if he heard this address, took no no tice of it, but immediately bowed to the bar, and leftthe Court. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—TUrnaDAY. As the Court was about to rise, a person on the floor addressed his Honour. stating lie was prepared with an affidavivand a motion to re-hear a cause which had been dirmosed of last Term. The Vice Cuasecni.t.oft said he would not attend to so Irregular a proceeding. Applicant —The case has been complete ruination tome. It has been goinz on for 15 years, and I have come from Lancashire 19 times abort it. Vice Cita acELton —lf you apply to the Coort in the pro per 'winner to assign yon a Solicitor and Counsel, it will attend to your application. Applicant—The Solicitor says 1 must have a bill of review, and pay down M. Vice Citaxcci.t.o-1 cannot relieve you from the forms prescribed by law. Yon cannot be heard in the absence of all the parties interested in the case. Make the proper application, and I will assign yon a Solicitor and Counsel. I recommend you, however to hesitate, as, from my recollec tion of the case. my impression is, that you are not likely to do vonmlf any ultimate benefit. The Applicant then withdrew. COURT OF KING'S RENCH.—TityptenAr. This heing the first day of Slirhselmas Tenn, the Judges did not rom• tionn until on• o'clock. The Report upon the state of the Penitentiary at Milbank w to then read. IN THF MATTES MP THOMAS THURTELL. Thomas Thurtell. she brother of John Thomell, the party charged ns prinripsl in the murder of Mr. tVeare, attended in Court, in the enstody of !Where. the officer. on a writ of habeas corpus issued that he might be surrendered in s uisal ta r g e of lis hail no WI thin 17 actions. Mr. Curers% on behalf of the had, moved that he might ha rhirresl with the art'ons in their discharge. The Cover inquired whe'her the answer of the officer was endorsed en the writ; and. finding it was nut vet enrictsed, refused to entertain the motion till this form lissi t•ern ehs•rced, but signifies! that it might be re- To wed after wards. Mr. ('merry, at a late period of the day, renewed his motion. The answer of linthven was then read. It set forth that be Isad taken and detained Thomas Timed', in obedience to an annexed warrant, which purported to be issued on an indictment against Thomas Thnrtel I and John Thurtell, for conspiring to &frond Mr. Berber Beaumont, the managing Director of the County Fire Office, of 1,9001. 6s. 9d. and obtaining that sum from him in pursuance of such conspiracy. • Mr. Itaonntcx, for the prosecutor of the indictment, graved that the Conn would commit Thane)l to the New Prison at Clerkenwell, instead of to the custody of the She riff, in order that he might be brought up the Court of Ses sions fur Middlesex, and plead to the indictment with. ont delay; or that he might be remanded to the custody of Rethven. The COURT, after considering the subject, said they could rot adopt the course suggested ; because, neither the keeper of the New Prison nor the officer would be liable to actions for escanes at the snit of the creditors, in case the prisoner should dv. Their safe and proper course was to commit bite to the Marshal, with directions that he be remitted to the custody of the Sheriff, charged with the indictment as well as the actions. From his custody lie might at any time he brought up by habeas corpus to the Middlesex S eesione to plead. The order for such committal was accordingly made, and the prisoner left the Court in the custody of the Sheriff's Office rs. It is needless to observe, that this person is brother to the man now in Hertford gaol for the murder of Mr. IVeare. He is a plain, rather vulgar looking man, be t wren thirty and forty years of age, and was dressed in a slovenly and careless manner. His spirits seemed depressed. His appearance bespeaks no ex traordinary muscnlar strength, so that he was not likely to distinguish himself much in the prize ring, if it be true that be was a candidate for fame it , that way. He hail come to surrender himself to no less than sixteen actions, but the amount of debt comprised in tkis extended litigation, might not, perhaps, have amounted to a WOOL THE RING V. O'MEARA. This case was called on in the peremptory paper late in the day. Mr. PATTISON begged it might stand over, as the other Counsel were absent. The COURT said it was too late to take it, and therefore it might stand till to morrow. At the rising of the Court, Mr. James Stamp Sutton Cooke, brother to • the claimant of the barony of Stafford, presented himself, and beggid to know what time he had to plead to the indictment found against him and others for a conspiracy, on the prosecution of Sir G. Jerningbam. He was informed thst he was entitled to four days, on which he bowed, and left the Court. COURT OF CONISION PLEAS, Nov. 6. The Judges came down as usual' t:+ Westminster in pro cession, and Mr. Justice Park and Mr. Justice Burrough took their seats on the Bench. The Lord Chief Justice was absent on account of indisposition, and Mr. Justice Richardson is, we understand, at Malta, for the recovery of his health. The Judges were occupied during the whole of the morning in taßing justifications of bail, and in heating motions of course, none of which possessed any ',Arlie interest. Mr. Justice Park gave notice, that no sit tiort, tit Nisi fries would be held in London on Smuttier. on account Of Hsi Civic 'Festival. This Court was held this'nsterning Jo the place intended for the Vice Chancellor's leas,,Coatrt„, It is built in a manner welly similar to that ermointed for Ms Honour at Lincoln's Inn, with the midi ton of a handsome cupola of stained glass, which produces ►ery pleasing effect. As the C.•urt has only been fitted up in the pres.iit manner for a temporary purpose, it is not strictly the subject of observation. However, it may be fairly remarked, that the accommodation of suitors and others attending the Court, does not seem to have been so much the subject of consideration ■s might have been ex pected. Perhaps this may be better provide•) for in the N^•.' ',kw C-rirts than it has been in those erected for the equity practitioners. THE STATESMAN •fIIDDLESEX SESSONS-TRURSDAY. The adjourned Sessio.us met this day in order to dispose of the remaining business before the Magistrates. SILK WEAVERS. At a very early hoar in the morning the avenues to the Court were crowded by journeymen silk weavers from Spitalfields, who cause to learn the decision of the Magis trates oo a certain petition that had been presentee on a former occasion for regulating the rate of their wages, pursuant to a recommendation of the House of Lords during the last Session of Parliament. Mr. A I.l.air submitted to the Court the schedule of prices made out by a Committee appointed fur the purpose, and told the journeymen that the same had been ac ceded to. A journeyman weaver, named Baker, immediately voci ferated, that the schedule was improperly made by persons who had no authority to do so, and without being sub mitted to the journeymen for their approbation. Mr. Attar said he considered the objection made by this person as highly injurious to the whole trade ; for if he and about 20 more cf the journeymen silk weavers, could get their wishes realized, they would mislead the whole operative trade, so as to prevent them from meeting the masters in an amicable manner, by a moderate reduc tion in prices of labour, so strongly recommended by the House of Lords during the last Session of Parliament. Mr. Brutton, of 55, Old Broad Street, Solicitor to the journeymen silk weavers, stated that at all the general meetings held by his clients, according to law, fur consi dering the reductions to be made, to order to meet the master manufacturers halfway, Mr. Baker might have at• tended and objected to the reductions, article by article ; but instead of doing so, he went through the operative i l traile privately, trying to gain individuals to secuud his opposition to the proceedings of the whole trade. Mr. ALLEY said that be was now ready to enter upon the subject contained in the schedule, if Mr. Baker and his friends were now present. To this he was answered by a hundred voices from various parts of the crowd, that Baker and a few of his associates thwarted the best inten tions of upwards of 20,000 journeymen weavers, who were desirous of making up, in a conciliatory manner, the tem porary breach existing between them and the master tos nufactu rers. The CHAIRMAN. after consulting with the Bench, Mr. and the Solicitor for the journeymen weavers, mtg. gested the propriety of having the reduced prices printed immediately, for general circulation throughout the whole trade; and that in the mean time the journeymen should meet lawfully. and impress upon the whole of their fellow workmen the absolute necessity of meeting with candour the Mader-manufactnrers, in order to avoid the great anxiety of mind which they must all have suffered during the last Session of Parliament; for another application to the Legislature might, to the operative workmen, be of a more serious and lasting nature than any private arrange. merit entered into between the journeymen and their em ployers. The CHAIRMAN then returned the schedule, with the understanding that it should he printed without delay, and eppointed Thursday, the 27th inst., for receiving the same ; by which time, he trusted, all the jouryneymen silk wea. vers would he of one mind as to the prices which the ge nerality of them propose.' to reduce. ARTICLES OP THE PEACE AGAINST MR. CARMICHAEL SMITH.—Mr. A voLeuns stated, that on the part of Mr. mith he had to more that his recognizances might be discharged. Some days ago Mr. Smith bad received notice from the Clerk of the Peace that the recognizances would be estreated unless a respite was moved in this court. This was therefore the immediate consequence of the present motion, though, at the same time, he had to request that the rerognizances might altogether be ilia. charged. The articles of the peace exhibited by Mrs. Smith were then read. They stated, that on the 21st August, Mrs. Smith was informed by her husband that he had a carriage at the door to take her to a madhouse. This she resisted, and proposed to go to a Magistrate in Chelsea. to which her husband seemingly assented, and went with her, but when they got to Sloane Square, be dragged her into a public-house, and from thence, by means of a carriage, to Wilk House, a private mad-house belonging to Dr. Burroughs. There she was kept till the 27th of the same month, when, by a writ of Habeas Corpus. she was taken before Justice Park and liberated, and that now she went in bodily fear, he having threatened to aid. nap and send her to America.—Mr. ADOLPHUS stated, that as long ago as April, a deed of separation took plate between Mr. and Mrs. Smith : but Mr. Smith hating fallen from his horse in Augnat, and lying dangerously ill, his wife, of her own accord, returned to his house, and behaved so ill, that every body in the house thought her deranged, and this opinion being confirmed by a medical adviser, lie bad her removed to this mad house, and owing to his still dangerous state was unable to appear before fur. Justibe PARK. The affidavit went on further to state, that it was Mrs. Smith's own motion going to America, and that he had consented to allow her 1501. a year during her absence. —Mr. Anommus then read a paper of her writing, which he affirmed folly entitled her to a place in a mad-house, and likewise read her own letters to Mr. Smith. The following is a specimen of the poetry : " I cannot join in the exulting sounds, My blood is stagnant, and my heaving soul Is spiritless and dull. Oh, my husband ! How art thou changed. I would forget them, But busy Memory will recall those days— Those blissful days when Bess could chase away . Each cloud that hovered on her William's brow. I will obey thee since thou dost desire My absence ; though fearful thoughts assail me And warning voices seem to hid me stay, And guard thee from thy direst enemy—thyself." The letters stated her perfect satisfaction with the plan for going to America, but wished to postpone it till the ensuing spring, and, at the same time, Informed h,-r husband, that " she should be glad to hear from him personally, or other wise, though she would infinitely prefer the former."—Tits Chairman said, that it was not for him to discharge the suer. ties, since he already found them taken by the Judge, and therefore the recognizances must stil stand over to the follow ing Sessions. though at the same time he certainly should or der that they should not be estreated.—Mr. Smith appeared himself, and stated that he felt sure that no cognizance would be taken next Sessions ; but he was extremely desirous to get rid of the sureties, for It was always a stain on a man of cha racter that he should be bound in articles 9f peace, and more especially at the suit of his own wife. THE PARISH or HAILIVERSMITR v. THB Ray. EDWARD Boar GODOOLD.—BASTARDY.—Mr. Phillips moved that an order of affiliation made against the Rev. Edward Bury Godbold,shonld be made an order of the Court. The Learned Gentlemen said he made his motion thus publicly, because, after the order of affitiation had been made by the Magistrates, the Rev. Gen tleman published a letter la the newspapers, impugning their decision, and declaring his intention of appealing to the Ses sions; instead, however, of appealing, be had since come In and satisfied the order by paying every thing.—Toe order was made as moved. POl. - 1 It: —........... MaNsiox Hoes —A young man named flay, who is stated to be the illegitintive son of a pun , of rank and great property in the comity of Devon, underwent a final exami nation on a charce of hating utterei several forged 51.1 Bank of England awes. No less than live cases were ailtlueed in evidence against the unhappy MAN by persons all of whom knew him well. He had been indebted to them in various soms, and it was ' stated that he came with I. notes and turd them to take a small part in payment front the notes, and give.him the change. This was dune in each case, and ahout 30s. lavas taken from each note in liquidation of his flaats. On-.of the Batik Inspectors proved all the notes to be forgeries. The prisoner accounted for the possession of part of the notes, by slying that they were remitted to him from the cogotry by his father, who occasionally sent Ilion money. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. Soon after the Lord Mayor and Alderman Venable: had left the Justice Room, a poor Irish sailor, named Dennis Sweeney crawled in, and presenting himself before the Marshal and Chief Clark, stated that lie was lahottring under a grievous disorder, and prayed that a ticket might be given to him fur his admission to the Hos pital. After some examination as to his claims on the bounty of the city, the Chief Clerk desired that a ticket for Swee ney's admission to St. Bartholomew's Hospital should be filled up. "For Bartholomew's Hospital !" exclaimed Sweeney in a fright, " Oh, for the love of (100, don't send me there, your I lonour ! for if I die, they'll change me, and Send we amongst my friends as black as a coal. The Chief Clerk, who was astonished at such a charge, asked the Irishman the meaning of the extraordinary trans formation from white (or rather yellow) to black, which he apprehended so seriously. At tit. Bartholomew's Hospital the skill of the practitioners, and the attention rendered to the patients, were such as were not exceeded by those of any other establishment. ---; The Irishman had nothing to object against the atten tions to the living, but he expressed his fears that the young doctor; were sometimes too attentive to the• dead. " I'll ti.ll your Honour," said be, " the cause of it all, I had a wife, poor soul, and she rot bad, and I put her in Bartholomew's Hospital, but she didn't ;:et over it, for she died. Well, I towld 'mu I'll have her home to bury her. So they were very civil to me, and they sent her bailie to me, sure enough, tight screw'd up in a shell, which I thought very kind. Well, I gotaome of my contaryinen about the coffin for a wake, your Honour, and .dory Murphy, says she, ' Arrah, then, Dennis, won't you let us have a look at the dear woman before she goes ? Yes,' says I, 'to be sure.' fhen th-y an -crews the wood, arid we were near all fainting with the smell. At last they rises op the cover, and there she lay as black as soot, with a long beard !" The Chief Clerk, who, with others present, notwith standing the real sufferings of the poor fellow, could scarcely command their muscles, told Sweeney there must have been some deception practised, or mistake wade. Sweeney.—" Oh, it wee all a mistake; but they might make the same mistake with my body, and I'd wish to go into the other world the same colour I came here with, and not look like the devil—Ooo bless us !" The Chief Clerk hoped the error had been corrected. Sweeney.—" Oh, yes, they said they had sent me a Illack Jamaica men in place array wife, and I gut her back at last; but I hail a deal of trouble first." The Chief Clerk then gave a letter for St. Thomas's Hospital, to poor Sweeney, who seemeJ quite satisfied at the prospect of having neither his colour nor his sex changed by the treatment lie will meet with. EXTRAORDIN ART CASE OF PERJURY. —A young girl named Martha Cauhrios was brought before the Lotto Mavort and Alderman VIINARLES, charged upon her own confession with the crime of perjury, and also charged by the Overseers of the Parish of St. Mary liroolnoth, tinder the 50th of Hen. l 11. cap. 52, with become liable to certain pains and penalties as a lewd woman, cans ing her bastard child to become burthensome to the Parish. Mr. Smith, one of the Overseers, slid, that in conse quence of the great increase of lotrthens to the parish by the charges for illegitimate children, and the difficulties of reaching true information es to the real fathers, it had been found necessary to determine, when any clear ease of per jury presented itself, to make the delinquent a public ex ample. The prisoner was brought to bed, and swore the child to a man named Hayfield, who resided at Bursted, in Essex. Proceedings were immediately instituted against him, and he was adjudged, upon an order of filiation, to pay for the support of the child. Satisfactory proof, how ever, was brought forward that he was not the father, and the defendant ran off and left the babe to be nursed by the parish. She, however, came back to the parish for sup port, and confessed that a man named Laver was the bona fide father, and that he bad bribed her to swear the child to Hayfield. The girl then said that Layer was the father of the child, and that be had given her a pound note to put it upon Hayfield. The other motive she had for committing tire perjury was the wish to serve Layer, who had the first place in her affections, and a right, she thought, to every thing she could do for him; but who forgot a serious promise which he had made to her at the commence ment of their acquaintance, the moment she had freed him from the liability, as he thought, of maintaining the child. The Magistrates wished to know whether the suborne r of the perjury could be found, as it was particularly desir able to make an example of him. Mr. Smith said the parish would soon have had him in custody had there been sufficient evidence to proceed upon, but unfortunately there was only that of the girl, who. having been guilty of perjury, was no louger a witness; neither was there sufficient evidence beyond her own con fession to prosecute her directly for the perjury. Cases of this nature, lie feared, were conemen,although (110 detection and exposure were uufrequent. Alderman Vascsaaas admitted that it was a flagitious case, which it would be most desirable to mark with punishment, the perjury being of a nature peculiarly odious. The virtue of the purest man might be called in question by such women as the prisoner ; and it was to be regretted that no adequate punishment could be inflicted. - As she bad but one child she would not come within the intention of the Act as a lewd. woman. It Lad been usual to proceed under the Act against those women only who' caused several illegitimate children to become burthensome to the parish. Mr. Smith submitted that the prisoner's avowed inter course with more than one man brought her within the meaning of the Act. On reference to the Act, however, it was found that on proof that she rendered one illegi timate child burthensome to the parish, she became liable to be sent to the House of Correction for twelve months. The prisoner wept bitterly, but offered no defence. The Loao MAYOR and Alderman VENABLES repeated that the case was most flagitious, and sentenced the prison er to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for three months, there to undergo hard labour.. Mr. Smith said that such a mother could not be en trusted with her child; and requested that his Lordship would order it to be placed under the care of one of the • parish nurses. The. Loan MAYOR said the law would not allow that an infant should be taken from the mother without her con sent; perhaps in the present case that would tort be difficult to obtain. Elmore HALL.—lnformatio3 was received at this office that a duel was about to take place between Col. Tulloli, of the Royal Artillery, and Captain Magrath, in consequence of a misunderstanding respecting a lady. The duel was appointed to be fought yesterday, at a *short distance from town in this county. Both the parties ere in the rules.of the King's Bench. On the Magistrates being infdrined of the circumstance, Rice, the officer, was dispatched to Mr. Jones, the Marshal, to apprise him of the intended breach of the peace. That gentleman, who is also a Magistrates immediately insltuti'd an inquiry into the facts, the usual of which was, that the Colonel and Iris antagord-t, both of whom happened to be within the walls of the prism) at the ,time, were bound to enter into their reeoznitances to keep the peace for two years, in the saw of 2001. each. IRELAND. -- 4 11111m—_ DUBLIN COMMISSION, Nov. 3. Thomas O'Beirne wag indicted for having in his possession a forged Rank of Ireland note, purporting to be of the value of thirty shillings. The pr secutor in this case was a simple poor countryman, from the County of Sligo, who. it appeared, had gone tai nag land to " make a harvest." On his landing at the Pigoon house, on his return, in company with his two sons, he was de pyived of his hard earnings by the prisoner, who in laced him t o exehaoge his Diglish coin, gold and silver, for notes, which subsequently ;moved forgeries. The prisoner endeavoured at the same time tl prevail on some County of Nlavo men, who returned in the same vessel from making un the harvest in Etqleld. to exchange their English money with him, but for tunately. for them he failed in that attempt. The prisoner was found guilty. GROSS OUTRAGE OF A SENTINEL. Whilst Baron Smith was charging the Jury in the above case, he WAS interrupted by a violent eiv•lantalion in Court, and one of the Gentlemen of the Jury stated that a soldier, who was on duty in Court, had stabbed a man wi:h his hayouet.— It was ascertained immediately that it was Mr. Gilbert, the Deputy Gaoler of Newgate, who was entering court. that was stabbed ; and that Capt. Buurnes hail mentioned to the soldier who Mr. Gilbert was. It wns into his site the saliier drove his bayonet. The Court ordered that a surgeon should be sent for ; and the soldier was taken into custody by the direction of the Court. Mr. Gilbert, we are happy to state. is not den. gerously wounded. The soldier belongs to the 7ith Regivent; his name is James Booth.

It appeared in the course of examination, that th. - . 5• persons were bound together by an oath of secrecy, as fdllows :—" I do solemnly swear that I will keep secret ail that passes is this room." Three of them taken have given evidence to that effect, one of whom was sworn about a varier of at hour before the Lord Miyur entered, axcardin; to his ova acknowledgment ; and decldred, that as soon as be was I exorn by the Chairman, named Mat, the oath was throw.

They afterwards set fire to the house, and burned it to ashes. There was a quantity of corn in the haggard, whicb they would have also consumed, but said they would come again and convey it away. On Saturday night last, the Parish Church of Leney,in this County, was attacked by some diabolical wretches, who shivered the windows to of it atoms.—(lreserneatle Journal.) CORONRR'S I N QUEBT.—An inquest was held on Wed nesday afternoon lase, at the Crab Tree, Fulham, on the body of an interesting female, under twenty years of age, named Caroline Welsh, who destroyed herself by taking about two ounces of arsenic, while labouring, as it was supposed, under a depression of spirits, occasioned by her lover deserting her. It appeared front the evidence of Mrs. M. V. Dize, who resides in t'rab Tree White Cottage, that deceased had lived in her house between four and five years ; when at the early age of fifteen or sixteen, she unfortunately became acquainted with a per ton named John Collins: a regular intimacy subsisted between them near four years, and she considered that the union of the parties would be the result of th e ir at tachment. This she was fully confirmed in when she received iatelligence that the marriage was to have taken place in last October. tier fickle minded lover, however, changed his determination, and was actually married to another. From this time the poor girl had been very dull and low spirited ; the disappointment she had received seemed to hang most heavily on her mind, and she was wholly al:ered en her confiner. On Tuesday morning sloe got up rather early, and went to [homer. . smith ; on her return, she compl lined of great pun in her stomach, and the witness advised her to he down.-- In a short time she went into the room, and toned bra siting on the side of the bid, complaining of beirg eery cold : some wine and water was given her, when the witness left her in the care of leer mother, who had thee arrived front Hammersmith. On her return she found the deceased in her mother's arms, pale, shivering, acrd coo• plaining much of the cold. Empties and some ho: eater were given her, but she refused them, saying she meld not take any thine, but wished to be left, and to die quietly. In this manner she lingered until four o'eleck ie the afternoon, when she expired. In answer to some i l see lions from the Jury, the witcese said, she had lasts poison for mice in tne drawer, on the wrapper of Ouch was written " poison ;" this percel was found in ber bed. Mr. John Sellers, of Hammersmith, chemist, said on re! ing to Mr. !Age's house, on Tuesday morning, he was r' formed the deceased had Liken poison. On going into her room he found a paper pace% in her heti, with the word " poison" written on it, a portion of which the ark Orr• ledged she had taken. She then laboured under gratrio. in her stomach, site died in consequence. The Ci.rener and Jury equally lamented the fate of the unfortunate geri.asel felt convinced that the conduit of Collins bad operat ed to some degree upon her mind, and re-turned their vercn ,: :3 t -- , " That the deceased poisoned lieri.elf, labouring at I time under a state of mental deliriuni."
