A set of men get ac quainted with young women, marry thern,live with them for a short period, and then ruin them and all their prospects by leaving them when they have a family's( yonwg children to support. They then pay their oar dresses again to the first engaging young woman BM meet, and conclude by plunging her into the same dis tress in which they have left their former victim. The law upon this crime has been lately much improved by the wisdom of the legislature, and we are now empower ed to visit it with the punishment of transportation. I ern going to make a memorandum to inflict it its this case. The prisoner in this case was a coarse heavy looting man. The woman, Phoebe Lansing, whom be bad tee 'panned into marria ge Stith him, was crying bitterly all floe time she was gulag her evidence. In the case of a 111•Cullum, who is attuned of having forged certain East India warrants for the re ceipt of goods, Mr. HOLLAND moved that the recernizanees of Mr. T. Stirling be entreated, and all proceedings 'wounded till the seat Sessions, on the ground that Mr. T. Sterl ing, who was a material witness on behalf of the prose cution, wilfully kept himself out of the way, to avoid beteg called upon to give evidence before the Grand 'Joey. The learned gentleman made this motion upon Certain aftdavits which he read to the Court. • Mr. Baron Gaasow having explained to the prissier that the effect of this vaotiom world be to postpone his trial till the nest Snide*, asked him whether he had somy_.objestioo to urge against 10 lulu; green!. - Mr. *Cullum said that it would. be a very gnat betteeiple hies to have his trial thus postpowed as he 2 is itt 4is ellitedy. •It wee not swore, he obeetrimi , in the *Ma bid has read, that then was any eolla eleehatthei hies and Mr. Sterling. Illiiroillastaow allowed that it sem hard • the primmer that his toil spool& be postponed, but tics demanded that the recognizance' of Me. Sterling, who, to say nothing more of it, had strangelyipegbected his duty, elsould be mutated. Itmeuld be wdeteat the purposes of justice, to,compel the prosecutor tisproceed to trial without his evidence. The prisoner must be re manded till the next Sessions. Mr. HOLLAND made note observations In a low tone of voice to the learned Judge. . Mr. Baroo aguitow.— l'Aft le4roell.cosowl has just informed me, that he has mails this applioation now, be cause, if Mr. Sterling were not to appear before to morrow, the Grand Jury might be discharged, or there might not be time to collect the other evidence to sup port the bill, if presented. If Mr. Sterling should make his appearance in time, and the bill should be found, the cue may come op at the present Sections ; bat of that nothing can be said with certainty at pre sent." Mr. 11PCullam—" Will your Lordship take hail for my appearance." Mr. Baron Gaimove.—" Not yet—a time may come when the propriety of so doing may be argued in the proper quarter." The Court was occupied during the greater part of the day in trials for petty larcenies and other minor of fences; io most of them the value of the property stolen did not amount to se.

Upon this, eons plainaut took the soup as it was to Mr. Jordan's, a sur geon, in Whitechapel, who analysed it, and told Com plainaot that he had bad a very narrow escape, as some poisoa bad been infused into it.

He appealed to the Magistrates whether it seat likely be should attempt to poison soy person. and me p d his indignation at the evidence of Case. The Magistrates expressed themselves exceedingly dissatisfied with the surgeon's amount of his conduct. It was stated in. addition, that there seas some toast before the fire, which the surgeon took up, licked it, and re. placed it. This was corroborated by the prisoner's cola. pasion; Mr. ---. The surgeon frequently called out that it was a cone *piracy against him, in which even his friend —was blended. • The Magistrate.—lf you came here ins strait waist Coat, you could not have given a more irntiooal account of yourself; you will mystify the affair so much that we stall begin to think there was something very serious Intended.
