Mr fears no this head were but too truly unremtplished. When I drove up to the home, my sister was waiting on the steps to re ceive me, and ill a moment I was in her tome. When, after %)Ille tune, we drew Mick to gaze upon each other. there was indeed cause for pain. We could not expect that we should be unchanged.-- we knew that time must have dime his usual work.—but still we lived in each other's recollection just an we hail parted, and the reality was scarce) y lean sad from its having been, in a great degree, lm-seen. The name smile, indeed—a smile never to be forgotten_ still played in my sister's eye and lip; but the eve was sunken, and the lip grown thin--aml the smile itself was sadder and more aged, like the frames and hearts of both of tie. The hill, bloom ing cheek was grown hollow and pole; and the luxuriant aed beau tiful hair. for which my rime, het been remarkable. was entirely hidden—if, indeed, it still remained—by the widow's cap, which she had alien ever since her husband's death. This. and the gown uf dark grey._which was likewise, I found, her conrtant attire— tompleted toe contract with the light-hearted, brilliant, blooming, beautiful girl whom I had left. Foe myself, I believe I war multi civilly changed alto. My sister and I read in each other's looks the shock we hurl mutually received, and we walked 'Wendy together into the house. "Here I was to experience a meeting still more bitter. I knew that our father hail gunk &linos: into second childhood ; but I had no expettation of finding his inibeeiiny so complete./ Ile was Prated in an easy chair near the window, which reached to the ground, that lie might enjoy the mild and grateful warmth of a July sun- , at. Iles limbs were wrapped in flannels, and he was supported by pillion on either side. Ills head 'hook tremulously --his eye wm 'saintly hard - and his jaw drooped in the extremity of dicage. This miserable wreck, which humanity could scarcely look at without a feeling of degradation, was all that remained of the hale and handsome man whom I had quitted—ti was all that flow and maim had spared of toy father ! " The room in which we sat was the library, and had undergone namely any change since I list) last seen it. 3ly eye could realg. rise the hooks in the very places in which I had left them :—the heavily-hound, rel.edged folios were ranged along the ground-row, unmatched, since most pr o b a bly, 'ee my early :hind toe book s had led me to explore theist ;—and, inane corner of the highest shelf, I saw a white-backed copy of thilliver's Travels, which I had nearly hniken nty neck in clamhermg to reach. Most of the furniture was new ; but the-e was still an ski Wile and white china jar, which I had got Into disgrace for marking—and on which was still to be seen the rivet which the housekeeper hail placed upon it at toy en. treaty. A Loge iiht.taahionid ha k-gani ttttt n table also stood in one corner, 141111'h I well recollected as having been one of the de. lights at my boyiususl ;—mud the picture which hung over the chim ney--the only one in the mom -was, as it had always been, the portrait of an ancient worthy of our race, arrayed in the angular atilfbess—the large ruff—clocked stockings, and bameed shoes.—of the couradress of James the First!" time. Thaw circumstances may appear tritting—hin I recollect they made strung myrmidon upon me at the timt—antl the tank I h tve undertaken of writing a ' , amulet of my life is naturally Inure a raved of feeling* than of events. " The long conversation I hail with my sister, tended in no de. gyre to remove the sadness which mil these circumstances had caused. Ilex subdued and melancholy manner *hewed, that the hand of sorrow hod been upon bee also—that all her feelings sere changed and saddened --except only her affection fir me. I made it query for all Ouse who were connected, in my recollection, with the dear hotne to which I had returned. I Inc answer served for nearly all—•• lle is dead." IN all the err/arose( the tamily—all the retainers who are always so numerous about a large country house—who had been my allies In my boyish sports, and who had so fervently bidden God to 111“4 try parting step—intone remained to welcome my return.

My recollections of home had out been condom dto the physical scene alone—they y had naturally o .choled the images id those who dwelt there— and it now seemed almost a mockery to be restored to the spot itself, and to filel that all who had peopled it in my heart were gone lot ever.

The Report was so viol'. cit and so accurate in itself, that it cintained all which could be said on the subject. There as a circumstance. however, which it was at to mention : he alluded to the item of debt awarded to person having claims against the late Theatre. This was stated more for form make than any thing else; for he had no doubt the Committee would never be called upon to make that sum good. He was satisfied that the sun; might be applied to the llimidation of the debt stated to be existing, scrumping to the present state of things, which would thus be reduced to little more that 17,151 W. (Maim.) According to the engagement under which the present management was conducted, it was stipulated that the old Pmpri tors should not reap any benefit from the property till 1830; but now he had great satisfaction in remarking. that they would, in all prohatility, be enabled to attain this desirable end one year sooner, as by that time he anticipated the Theatre would be completely free from incunibtance. (Hear.) The lion. amleman expressed his gratitude, in common with the other Proprietors, for the lihc rainy which had been exercised by his Majesty in relinquishing his claim to the thousand , molds which had been advanced to them by way of lust in 11119; and he thought equal gratitude was due to his Royal Highness Niece Leopold. Hear.) Of the lessee, ton, it was impossible not to speak in the highest terms, for not only had lie strictly complied with all the covenants of his agreement, but he hail gone further, and had greatly added to the value and excellence of their property in every possible way ; and would no doubt in the contain •, as lie had in the late, secure a sue- I cessful season.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATURDAY, JULY IL Sittings before the CHM, JUSTICE Old I CSSISION Jllry. MUM. CON. NOWETSETT v. ■OCILANO. The wit,lesses in this case having been ordered out of Court, Mr. Sergeant l'st.t. stated. that this was a ease of importance— perhaps he might say of difficulty--eertaitily of delicacy lie should make no overstrained statement of the facts, bat' should confine himself to those points which were strictly necessary. Tle• declaration, which hail not been opened, on account of the unavoid able absence of his Learned Friend, Mr. Jones, imputed to the de fendant that he had been guilty of criminal conversation with the Iplaintiff 'a wife. The Jury would therefi.re be prepared to hear evidence of a singular description, for all of these cases differed in a degree in their malignancy, and in the injury of which the plain tiff plainest. Ile should first state who were the parties; next, the nature of the injury ; he should then snake a few observations with respect to tie amount of damages, and then leave it to his brother Vaughan tn answer the ease, either by observations or col dence, as he should think lit. The ilaintiff was an innkeeper, residing at the time of this unhappy transaction at Tunbridge IVells, where lie kept the Swan Inn. The defendant livol at no 'very great distance from dial place, and carried on a sort of einem as a gentleman farmer. Ile had formed,' been in the army, but he hail now quitteq that occupation, and had retired upon a fortune amply sufficient to enable I to enjoy all the comforts, and many of the luxuries of life ; and the offeuce of which he had been guilty was aggravated by his being himself a married man. The plaintiff was married to the lady who was the unfortunate sub ject of the present action in 11112, at the parish of Elam lerinatead ; he was then twenty.seven years of age, and had formerly carried on businesses a spirit merchant in another part of the kingdom. this wife was, at the time of the marriage, very young ; her age did not exceed sixteen t.r seventeen. They lived together for some years._ and, as 1w was tild—very 'happily and respectably . Five children had been the offspring of this marriage, the last of whont was !beim so late as the spring of 1112.1. fhe defendant was in the habit of frequenting the plaintiff's haute, and front time to time he re. emitted those civilities properly due to a man of his rank in life. The plaintiff's wile ass, at the time of her marriage, and now. a vitamin of reminder:al le personal attractions. When the defend ant first determined to destroy the peace of mind arid happiness of the plaintiff did not very distinctly appear, but it would be seen that in August last he had taken flume than one opportunity of degrading aid Insulting the plaintiff in the presence of his wife, probably with the view of lessening her affection to her husband by these ntcana. That, honorer, it would be the province of the Jury to determine. It was, however, a feature in the cause which would not escape their obsenstion. The defendant's conduct was the more unjustifiable, as the situation of the plaintiff's wife ren dered her more liable than any other woman to the attacks of a seducer. By the very circumstances in which she was placed, and front the IlfenSillllll of business which might oblige her husband to be absent, she was more assailable than the wife of any othe traeesnian : and a man of feeling and of honour would on that very account hare disdained to take advantage of those oppiirtunities which were necessarily afforded by the business in which she was engaged. Ile merely mentioned this, not because he anticipated whet would be the defence, fur of that he was entirely Ignorant, but IleCallge as witnesses were to be called for the defendant, he wished them to bear in mind this, which he thought no immaterial feature in the cause. In August last, whether owing to the opportunity afforded by the necessary absence of the plaintiff on business, or to what other cause it was to be attributed, he knew not, but it would appear that sea 'Mort time she had withdrawn herself front her home. He owed it to the defendant to say, that although he be lieCtli the defendant to have actually been more or less concerned in this step, that mu distinct evidence to that effect could he offertd. It was 110MCVIT to be observed, that this was after the insulting con- Midi exhibited by the defendant towards the plaintiff In Decem ber last, it would be proved that she hail quitted her husband's hintse in the evening, and hail remained absent for one or two hours, not retuning till past one in the morning. How often the de fendant had seen her since he was not prepared to prove, but the Jury might well Intim, that their interviews, however secret, were not unfrequent. In the mina of March last, it would be proved, that she had again quitted her husband's house, passed tl gh a gap in the hedge adjoining the field, and afterwards met the defendant, when they were perceived by two persons, whom cu riosity had excited, whso,had fhlloweil them. Close by Tunbridge Wells were gremula belonging to Lord A bergavenny. and to these grourvis they were traced. The night was moonlight, and for a sheet time they were lust to their pursuers among the trees. They were again discovered, however, by some rustling anteing the trees, and they were found in a situation, which he (Mr. Sergeant Pell) would rather leave to be described to the Jury by the witnesses than by hint. (in their being thus diseovereti, the defendant: gave that proof of guilt which always followed its detection, He fled, and she was left in that dreadful state of confusion bhich naturally acemiipa. hied the COMICi4.II , III.IIIof guilt. 11,0111 his and her demeanor, how. ever, it was evident that that act hail been committed, on which alone this action could he founded. The persons who would prove this scene had not, to use the words of a high authority," grossly gaped on," and they were therefore unable to speak to the act of adultery having been positively committed in their presence ; but they would state enotigh to leave no doubt that such had actually b in the case. It would be fur the Jury to say whether, from the cir. cumstatice• these persons would disclose, the act of adultery bed not been committed on that night. Ile should not make any general re marks on this case with respect to damages ; for if hr proved what he vies instructed would be prayed, such remarks would be little Netter than insult to all the persons by whom he was surrounded. The Jury were, he doubted not. hitshands and fathers; they would be able to estimate properly the misery to which a man mist be re. duccd who haul been wounded in his affections, and whose happi ness and peace had thins been destroyed. There was no Misery so great as that which was caused by a wounded heart anti blighted affections ; and unless the witnesses he should call should be prov ed to have spoken falsely, there could he no doubt that the plain tiff's affections had been blighted and his happiness destroyed by the criminal conduct of the defendant. It would be shewn that the plaintiff and his wife had formerly lived together in a state of hap• pines. They had hail fire children, the birth of the last of whom could hardly he accounted a blessing to the plaintiff, for from what had taken place, he must esperience that dreadful misery of enter taining a doubt whether the last child was his own offspring or the evidence of his dishonour. 'there could be no greater curse than kw a man to entertain such a doubt, and the severest punishment was due to him who had occasioned it. Ile was confident he should nut he called on to reply, and he therefore asked from the Jury such damages as were justly due to a nun who had been thus se trGtlslr irreparably injured. The Kee. It.

I think the Defendant had on adu east and drab breeches; I never said. " it seemed as if he was ad. justing his dress, but I could not tell what part of it." Hook said so, but I did nut aree to it. I did not say anything. ' Henry Hook, a tishmongcr, nt TunbridgeWells, corroborated this statement, and she Plaintiff's case then closed. Mr. Serjeant V•In; OH AN. in hie . ddress to the Jury for the De fendant observed, that it ass imposeible to speak without feeling the diffi culties against which he had to contend. A criniinal im putation hail been made on the Defendant, so serious in its nature, that he trusted the Jury would not give credit to it after they had heard his witnesses, even if they were sow disposed to believe it, on the evidence adduced by the Plaintiff. Although he felt that the case had not been sufficienti- Weed against his client, although he felt confident as to the ultimate result, still he must confess that he approached the discussion with no considerable feeling of re luctance. He gave credit to his (,earned Brother for the care, the caution, the dexterity, the management evinced in opening this case. It had been said, and paid truly, that *hit was a use of de licacy and difficulty. It was so. In its mutat it was at all times delicate; in the present instance, at least to the I'laintift's advo cate, it must have been very difficult, for the materials on which it had been presented to their notice were any thing but satisfactory. At the same time he arkrowledged that it was difficult for the De fendant's Counsel. The Jury naturally felt inclined to rise in arms lumina the adulterer—it was a true Hyoid) feeling, and he trusted it would always be entertained by Englishmen. He knew, too, that such a feeling would be doubly strung when that adulterer was proved be a married man ; but still he believed, that until the facts were satisfactorily established, the Jury would not act upon their feelings, however strong those feelings might be. In all these cases there were two inquiries —tint, had the facts charged been commit ted, and had they been satisfactorily proved; and, secondly, what was the damages to which the Plaintiff was entitled. In all such cases, therefore, the Plaintiff put loin own conduct in issue, and the Jury were bound to estimate what lie had lost. fleet they were called I on to believe that he had last the affection% of an attached and devoted wife, and if lie had, and that through the conduct of the Defendant alone, he (Mr. Serjeard Vaughan) would himself call on their, to in flict that punishment which in such acase their own sense of wounded honour would dictate. Now what had the plaintiff lost ? In what state had he lived with his wife ? How could that be proved so well as by female relations, and yet none of them hail been called. Dlr. Winch had certainly given evidence on this subject, but he was not a witness whose testimony could be compared to that of a female on such a case. Ifomen understood these matters better— they observed the behaviour of a husband and wife more closely and more attentively titan men. They were more alive to the sub ject ; they had better opportunities of terming a judgment upon ; and if he might say so, they were more interested in it. Then why bad they net been produced ? Was not their absence a just ground of suspicion? llti was that all? lle thought not; for lie was of opinion that, even with regard to the legal proof in this case, lie might have addressed an objection to his Lordship. The parties had not been properly identified, and up to this moment there was not the slightest proof that the per•ons who were married in the year 1812, at East Drinste.ul, were the theme persons who were nu* the subject of the present investigation. This defi ciency of proof had arisen from no other :AVM than a aetermina.. tion to throw every obstacle in the way of the Jury ascettaining the truth, by preventing those persons being lusught before them who could alone eptsk to the real state in which the plaintiff and his wife lived. Mr. Winch was here trestle& at the desire of Mr. Setjeant Pell, in coder ti prove the id,ntity id the parties, but as he gave no distinct esidtoce un the subject, another wiuless was einniined. Mr. John lloare—l remeniher the time when these nitrides were ma/Tied; they had their wedding dinner at my house. Cross-examined—l think they had a child at the time of the marriage; I knew them since the marriage, but I did not fre quently visit them. Sergeant VAI , 6IIAM continued—The same Spirit was still evi. dent; the identity hail certainly bean proed, out by a man who could nut give the slightest evidence of the manner tn which the plaintiff and his wife had lived together. It appeared that when the lady was only fifteen years of age, and beture her mania-4e. she loaf had a child by the plaintiff. Who, then, he asked, had been the original seducer ? Who had first debauched the person, if not the mind, of this unfortunate woman ? Who bail paved** way for her present dishonour? Who but the plaintifff. hatuself.l True it was he had made the best reparation in his power by nihrrving her; and if his conduct subsequent to that marriage had been kind and affectionate, certainly hs (Mr. Sergeant Vaughan) should feel band himself to call on the Jury to throw a veil over the errors of his past life. But such was not the case. it would be proved that this man, who at 27 years of age had seduced a girl of fifteen—that this individual, who had thus debauched her body, hail detemtined to infect her mind; mad • amine of conduit on his part would be laid belief ebe Jury of the most dreadfully disgusting kind. The Learned iergsaot hers related, several instances of gross misivinduct, which were PO hamibly obscene as to be unlit for the public eye. He then proceeded to state, that there was another ground of defence t• this action. This husband, who now cmititlained to the jury of the destruction of his peace of mind and happiness--this maw by die. served to be called, who could be guilty of acting in the manner' just described—dila sensitive being who had aroAtil the presence of his unfortunate wife, when he had tiler her at Mr. cuthbere•— this pattern.of conjugal tenderness and fidelity, had mean* slept and lived with his wife doer the transaction on which be dig by. prreent complaint. Did die Jam dart at this? Mot, they they were destined to hear something mill inner strange. anti atm more revoking than it we. ontoge. He (Mr. Sergeant Yaagltab► meant not merely to charge the plaintiff with conniving at his own dishonour, bls even with a rontoiracy, aye, and a rotspitacy with his wife, to obtain infomtation at which to bring Seward this want, merely vitt a view to put money into his own rats, and to enable him to Dm comfortably at the defendant's expense. Ile should prove thief/ two I•tters, one written by the wife, and the other by the htelband, and directed i. Miss Mary &Ong, who was a cousin off the wire's. The I onsmed tierprount •ss about to read the wife's later, when be was iuterropted by Mr. Sergeant PEct., win objeasel that k wwt-not widener against the plaintiff. Air. Sergeant VAUGHAN answered that it was, insomuch as it was written at thy stow time, on the 11111mr tithed of paper. and sealed with the same seal Yaw. whatever the Jury might think 01 audit& statement, it was positively true. There sat the " Pekoe' huoltand and the criminal wife, "cheek by jowl," conspiring to discover evidence by which the defendant could be made answer able in an action of this ann. He should read these two letters " the Jury. not in the ceder in which they were written, foe, to gratify his Brother Pel, he would reed the husband's first, al:bough it begun by referring tt• the wife's, which had been written shove This letter of the Sashimi's had been proved to be in his band' writing, by gr. gine!' ; and though no switch pm , / had been of. feted sobs the wife'', yet, being referred to in the husband's, butts were evidence. • They were :Is follows: addressed to Miss Mary eeolding. leers lilvy—lion will see, by the above, that :tie Slralfontl-• liCte4 wish for you to inform me of that you can recollect cf th transaction between Rockland and irr, as she says you know 'Mt Rockland an.l she have hem together in the bell-moon. and your must have seen man, thi-gh plus between therrewhen they were together.
