Henri, who, it appeared, is now resident in France, sad be tween whom and bet husband, it is understood, a suit of divorce, on the ground of adultery, is now pending in the French Courts, applied to appear by proxy, and tot administer to the will of a relation in this country, deceased, by *bleb she claims. u a legatee, property to No amount of 6,0001. _ _ _ Swage? submitted, that the party in this ease soda not sue out letters of administration, befog un ileVeoverturit, unless it could be made appear either by the death of her husband that she had become &femme role, that her husband had been banished ; or other wise Ms having given her a general power of Attor ney to &tiler him, daring big absence abroad. This diarist, had been held formerly in the Prerogative Coat, in the ease of Elizabeth Wilmot, a foams covert*, applying for letters of administration, during the lifetime of her basked, as is this case; mid the Court decided; that unless under the before-mentioned veaisites, Aft could sot be permitted to snood let tees of sdniisistratioe, by prosy or otherwise.

The patty, in this case, sued not upon what belonged to the bus hand, bat to her, (the wife,' who was to be besefited; and as sash, twilled to administration. Is this ease, the husband Was allowed to be represented by his wife; and she being a married worn's, lama of the I husband is low administering, she offered to be re :possible, by giving security for •the due performance I • of the treat. Under those clteumstances the Court permitted Mrs. Henri to sue out letters of administra tion, with the will sneezed ; giving security to the aniesst of the bona mobile, including costs. Yesterday tbess ifeqfqpit were commenced. before the Lord Ileyee,, the Sherlllll4 Alderman Brown, Birch, Sir Jells Purim, and Thompson. .Tbe t COMNON SgRGIBAN,T, in charging the Grand Jury, recommended to their notice the vehicles called " Vans." which might.be sees daily passing through the sweets. loaded to a frightful height, sad exciting great fears in the inhabitants. He advised, that if any complaint should be made against the practice of permitting such vehicles to move along with such loads, the 0,11111:1 Jury would mark them in a particu lar manner, u such oscillating columns were, no lionbt, intolerable nuisances. One man had lately lost his life by an accident which occurred in consequence of the immense lead open one of those vans, and it wps certainly matter of surprise that more accidents bad net taken place. ...William Blithe, a soldier in the second regiment of foot gliards, was tried upon an indictment charging bills with havingasseaked .Robert Langdale with a noultio sad bayonet, and with having used threats against the prosecutor's life. •Ma goorsa, in stating the cue, said, that the goes tiott Pt be decided was. whether the citisens of Lou dowiteld any right to expect • that they might walk nplm the footpaths in the streets without fear of mili tary violence, or were to be jostled sod kicked out of the way at the pleasure of any man with a red coat oo his back, and formidable weapon in his hand. It was to be hoped that the verdict of the Jury would tee& the soldier to keep his arms for proper use. and not in a time of peace to apply them to malevolent purposes. Soldiers were, as Mr. Pulteney had- desalt,- pit them,. mere passive instruments, any one of whom, if ordered to drag his father out of the House of Com mon', must de it without hesitation, The Commander was respo*sible, and Mr. Langdale, who bad himself bin in the army. applied to the person at the bead of threompany, who, however, preferred assaulting. him to giving him the expected redress. If such things very pennitted to go on, It would, is the learned antiseel's *pinion, be much better to get out of the eonatry than to abide in it. • tk.

A man named Talbot confirmed the Prosecutor's ••••••••• ••••••••••• Mr. Apobenne, in his defense of the corporal, ridi culed what he called Mr. Whaley's frothy declama tion, and assured the Jury that he had studied dili gently the records of his country, and had ascertained that the estates of the realm were as happily blended by the constitution as never to be capable of acting but with one interest, design, and object, and that it was impossible that one part could, from jealousy, bring the soldiery to act against another part of the community even to parricide. This military had a right to pass through the striete•as they were in the habit of doing, and it could not be **pasted that they were to be broken and driven about 'hy the carriages. Be had learned, that since the extinction of the feudal system, it was never known that the civil rivers were put down by the military except when feeders dema gogues destroyed the institutions of the country. After some further observations, in the coarse of which the Learned Counsel took occasion to east imputations ere the Prosecutor and his evidence, he called Pour soldiers, rho were of the marching party, aid all of whom swore that the Defendant went between she second man and the corporal, and took hold of the arm of the corporal which supported the musket, and seised the musket with the other is a manner which obliged the corporal to tyro rouod, and prevent his piece from falling. They also swore that the corporal had not used a word of abuse. Mr. Comma contrasted the evidence given upon Stab sides, and observed upon the likelihood that common men, who messed and lived together, would be ottani mous upon any subject connected with any one of them. The Costmow SCROILINT, in summing up, said that certainly the soldiers bad ne right to shove the people off the pavement. In the present ease, he considered the soldier had not acted with impropriety; but if the assault had been proved, the most severe punishment would be inflicted. Verdict—Not Guilty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. These Sessions Sessions commenced yesterday, before N. CONANT, Esq. Chairman, and a full bench of Mogi*, trates. Edward Beensoind Virtue his wife, were indlited for having wilfully set fire to the house in which they lived. A witness produced a model of the greund4loor q the house in which the prisoners lived. The Itouseesoe situate on Saffron-bill, and the groandoloor, was the only part eeespiedly the priseamo i ;OenelsteiC of a shop and parlour. Satoh Marshall stated, that she lodged on the lit Boor of the house, immediately over the wisoucr's 4(94 that about seven o'clock in the morn's, of the 19th of September, Virtue Evan! came into her room and said, "We are all in a blaze below." The witness immediately ran dews stairs, and took a jag of water with her, but on coming to the parlour door, Virtue Brans refused to let her go in, saying, No one should go in till her husband cams home. Wit ness seeing the fire said—Then we'll be all consumed. Virtue Evans replied—No matter, we are insured.— The witness then went to the door, and gave the alarm of fire. Edward Sparks, a carman, saw Virtue Evans buying brandy at a shop near her own about seven o'clock on the morning of the fire; soon after beard Sarah Mar shall cry " Fire!" at the door, and immediately ran into the house; but Virtue Evans refused him admit tance into the room that was on fire, saying no one should go in to plunder her property till her husband I came home. The witness then went to the yard, and with several others got in through the window. There was a bed on fire, and also furniture on fire in other parts of the room ; and in a box in the shop a handker chief was found on fire. He did not think from all the appearances that the fire could have been accidental. Charles Passaway, • watchman, heard the alarm of fire, and, on coining to the house, found a number of persons endea►ouring to get into the room where the fire was, and Virtue Evans preventing them. He forced his way in, and saw a bed on ire in one part of:the room and a chest of drawers in another,,and a child's bed, which wee between them, not touched by the fire. He saw fire in four separate parts of the room. Ewd. Evans canto home -in -aboat-an.ho.nr.after, and bin wife complained to him that the whitess had Parsed htioieeif into the house, and that the people salt*, had set it on fire. The shop bad nothing in it InatJabin posed& of bacon and butter.
