The troth was, the children were totally neglected, while their mistress indulged her drinking and went so bed. lf, therefore, there was any agreement for a quarter's notice to be given before taking the children away ; yet that agreement implied that there was an equivalent to be given on the part Of the plaintiff; namely—to take proper care of and educate writ the children ; and if that was broken on her part, from her lisle of ale and brandy, the law would not give her the be-. nett of the contract on the other side. The children were re. moved because they were very ill andeorrupted, and no attention whatever paid either to their. moral or mental improvement. Henry Thompson, militant in Mr. Terry's shop, proved that reras sent by the defendant to the plaintiff under address to etherton. That the plaintiff gave directions that those goods were to be' placed to her account, but that owing to some alter cations alit had had-with Mr. Wetherton, she was not to be charged with any for that person in future. Mrs. Whitmore stated, that she formerly kept the school at Little Hampton, now kept by the plaintiff. She took the children of Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Saggers, and Itirs. Cart, at 16 guineas a year each, and no quarter's notice was to be required from than. She communicated this to the plaintiff, and also told Mr. Terry that she 114 done so. The agreement was in writing. Cw.wc-examined.--She made an express agreement that the quarter's notice was to be excluded—it was in writing. She had Lad • law suit with the plaintiff' much to her cost. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the agreement, if in writing, must be produced. On her examination, this witness was so inaudible that his Lord ski?, after repeatedly asking her to condescend to speak out, ob served, " If you would speak only at you speak when you are drinking tea to the Lady who sits opposite to you, I should hear yo 3 very well." William IVetherton stated, that he was the writing master to the esintiff . 8 school. lie quitted her service after midsummer, 1824. Tate school at that time was quite in a desolate state. Previous to the midsummer holidays there were two teachers. They only ✓ayed about a week or ten days. No other teachers came in their seed that he knew of. He applied to be employed again. He had 14 Opportunity of seeing and hearing how things were conducted, died what passed. For a long time the children had no books er pais.

The boys of the town used =them, and play with the girls. The boys were of the lower They were playing with the pupils of the school. Hitt LORDSHIP.—Who are the pupils of the school; I do not - understand these tine words, as you mean the girls ? Witness.—Yes, My Lord. ' Cross-examined by Mr. TALTOURD.--He was the dancing waster, the music master, and the writing master of the school.— The boys were the playmates of the plaintiff's younger son. The servant of the last witness stated she had seen the beds of the pfilikrniff, which were very dirty; and so were the children's necks; , *ley were bit with fleas. She had seen them at dinner ; they had its bread. She had found plaintiff in bed at twelve o'clock in the My, in a very bad state—drunk. She had seen two sailors dancing in the school-room with the children. The pliintiff was not PRIUM. Cross-examined by Mr. Tatrotran—Fanny Newport was not there, nor were any of those ladies (pointing to three beautiful girls to the student's box) in the room at that time. The parents of two or three other children were called, who proved rat in consequence of the improper manner in which the plaintiff' - lied conducted herself and her school, they hail been obliged to tale their children away. One of these witnesses was a very face- Obis sort of a gentleman, and gave his answers in a manner which dillitad mudit laughter. Whenever he was asked what seemed to HMI la be our important question, he assured the Counsel, upon Mt Maur, that the fact was as he stated, anti that he was ready to is his affidavit of it. He was stating nothing but facts, and 11isaki swear to what he said at any time. lie had seen the plaintiff dila bee ale and brandy at luncheon time, but thought he never enlitennested with her about it, because he considered it very un - be should do so to a woman in her own house, who had a Is order what she pleased there.

His child was never so well in beellfe, as when she was at the plaintiff's school. lie and his wife were quite satisfied with the manner in which she was treated. Mrs. Sarah Rose, and Mrs. Elizabeth Lawton, gave similar Mman y. Mist Mary Clarke, had been a scholar of the plaintiff's, and was Always trea:cd well. The school was conducted in the same way by the plaintiff, as it had been by Mrs. Whitmore. Their food was good, and the plaintiff' was not in the habit of getting in. ticketed to her knowledge. Miss fit-try Ann Griffin boarded at the plaintiff's from August to December, 11123. She had had good opportunity of seeing the pi.ontirs conduct, an! had nesse been her otherwise than what w perfectly correct. Miss Elisabeth Griffin (a very handsome young lady) gave sl ender testimony. She had never seen the plaintiff affected with hiligeduring the time she was at her house. C01114(711 SERJESS T shortly observed upon the evidence vit oureadiction to the defence, and said he should have liked liesteree have seen theleachers put into the box, who would have been batter able 10 speak to the conduct of the plaintiff than the tour ladies who had just left it. The question was, whether the Jury could, after the evidence that had been given, really entertain vete/Mous doubt that these children were most scandalously treated. Mr. TALFOORD then addressed the Jury in reply on the whole 'di the came. He dwelt with great force on the doubtful testimony of Mr. Wethertoo, and appealed to the Jury, in a speech of con inderable ability, to relieve - his client from the cruel and ruinous Ihiusutation that was attempted to be cast upon her by the too:me lon, feelings of parents, who who were apt to listen to the sugget- Hoar of the most unprincipled of men when it referred to the treat-1 went of their cadges abeam from them, aided by the evidence of a man who hail boo illasisdliy the plaintiff in his utmost need. and wham he now turned spina because he could no longer profit by her friendship.

T ~. , ARCHES COURT, MONDAY, Juxit 13. - (11;frt e Sir JOHN NICHOLL, la) lIRVCE V. BURIE. This case came on for argu nest and sentence this day ; being a suit instituted tor a divorce, by reason of nullity of marriage, by Mary Anne Bruce, spinster, against Tobias Burke, otherwise Cap tain Tobias Burke Bruce. Dr. LusurbrOTOW stated, the [We came Up by letters of request from the Consistory Court at 11'inchester, on the 24th March, 1821, and a libel was put in by the party, pleading, amongst several other matters, that a marriage had been celebrated between the defendant and Mary Anne Butler, on the 12th June. 1811, at the house of her tither, in Cashel, in the kingdom of Ireland, such marriage being celebrated according to the rhea and ceremonies practised in the Carbolic church there; that such marriage was legal, the per ties bcieg at the since of the celebratiou of the marriage Catholics, or reputed Roman Catholics. and that they cohabited together as man and wife until the year 1820, at which period the defendant came over from Ireland to this country, and having formed an ac. quaintance with *lacy Anne Bruce (the plaintiff), then living at Islington, he inartied tier in the parish charch there, Dec.l, 1820, he being then lawfully married to hie first wife, and who was then alive. The dere...lent was subsequinirly apprehended on a charge of bigamy, and being tried oe the 22d May, 11122, at the Old Bai ley, he was found guilty of the charge, and sentenced to be trans ported, pat t of which sentence was executed, lie being removed to the Leviathan convict ship, where lie at present is. '1 he record of conviction was also given, and the libel concluded with the usual articles, praying for the divorce. To these several pleas the de. fendant had put in a responsive allegation, that by an Act of Par.. liament, the 18 George 11. passed in Ireland. regulating marriages there between Protestants and Catholics, any priest celebrating such a marriage was liable to several pains and penalties therein enumerated; and such marriage was to all intents and purposes null and void ; that the defendant was, at the time of the all marriage between him and Mary Anne Butler, at Cashel, a Pro-. testant, and professed to be such for twelve months previous there. to; that his second marriage therefore was die only one good or valid in law. The Learned Advocate said, as the case had resolved itself to the single point, whether the defendant did for the twelve months precious to his marriage profess to be a Protestant, he would contend that he was a Catholic at the time of the celebration of the marriage, and if the other party contended he was a Pro testant. the mots prubendi lay on them to prove it. The Learned Doctor then commenced reciting the evidence in support of the facts pleaded. The reading of aortic of the depositions awed a good deal of laughter in the Court. One who professed to be a Catholic said it gave him much trouble that it was supposed he paid his dues to the priest willingly ; he said it was no such thing, as he grudged them every airpeore they got. and he thought it very hard a poor , Catholic should have to pay the dues and tithes too. Another witness stated, as he was required to say what religion he . was of, in his deposition, he could not rightly say ; but he was neither Protestant or Catholic; onetime ue*ent to church, an. other time to chapel, in both eases for his amusement ; he was bred -a' Protestant, but his mother was a Catholic, but of the two reli. ,pions, he believed he was more of a Ccholic than a Protestant. The evidence in support of the application for the divorce fully substantiated the pleas put in. That for the responsive allegation to them were extremely voluminous, and occupied the whole time of the Court. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, rIINE 13. IN TILE MATTER OF WILLIAM POPE, ESQ. The above named insolvent, after repeated adjournments since January, 1824, when he tint appeared before the Court, was brought up fir final hearing. It may be within the recollection of our readers, that when originally engrained, the insolvent was or dered to deposit certain papers (letters of the Duke of York), in the hands of the officer of the Court for him to inspect, and report thereon, which was objected to, on the ground of their contents being of a delicate nature, but the Court was imperative in its order. The insolvent, in disobedience of this order, gave up the said papers to a Mr. Knight, an attorney, who stipulated to nego ite in a certain quarter in order to raise money upon them for the use of the insolvent's creditors; there papers are still retained by 111. K. but with cons. R a the opposit g creditors, the Court granted him leave to be heard, notwithstanding his previous disobedience. It had been previously settled that the Duke of York, and the other distingui,hed personages, who have been repeatedly sub poenaed, need not attend the final examination. Mr. Cooke: appeared en behalf of Mr. Julian and several other creditors ; and 31r. BARRY for the insolvent. The insolvent stated that when he first borrowed money of Mr. Julian, he represented to him that Mr. Ogilvie was indebted to him in the sum of 2.6201., for the security of which he had cettain lumen. Ile further stated, be represent edthat Mr. Ogilvie was to have a situation under Government of 8001. • year at home, or 1,200/. abroad, to enable him to redeem the papers id question. The in. solvent admitted also that he showed the copy of an undertaking from Sir James Cockburn to pay Ogilvie's debt. A person of the tiame of Palin negotiated between him and Sir J. Cockburn, aed when he borrowed the raoney he hail a full expectation of the Ogil. vie debt being extinguished in the manner before described. Sir J. Cockburn kept the papers for three months, and his undertaking expired on the 17th March, 1823, when Sir James returned them, refusing to pay the money ; this was in the presence of Messrs. Palin and Ogilvie. After they were so returned, Pain undertook to negociate with some friends of the Duke of York, in order to raise money on - them, and this he told Mr. Julian, of whom he . borrowed subsequent sums of money. He mentioned that the Marquis of Hastings having arrived, Mr. Paha said something would be done through his medium. The negotiations of Mr. P., however, were unsuccessful, and the documents were returned to him (insolvent) after the lapse of six months, from March IRO. The negociatioos relative to these tepees commenced in the year 1820, and continued until recently. rho papers are now in the bands of Mr. Knight. %Vitness never told Mr. Julian that Mr. Harris of the Treasury had promised to take the papers, but he said that Mr. Frazer had signified to his counsel that the papal were to be paid tor and given up. Ogilvie's debt is for money lent from 1810 down to 1810. Mr. O. represented that he was to have a situation procured for some services rendered to his Royal Highness the Duke of York. The papers were first left in his (insolvent's) house as a deposit, by Mr. 0. who boarded and lodged there, but were regularly assigned over before he went to lay them before Sir J. Cockburn. The debts contracted by him were principally on representations relative to these papers. Mr. Commissioner Bowan said, that supposing these represen tations were the only point, there appeared to be nothing in then, of which the creditors ou3ht to complain, because they must have known that the money to be derived from them was by fraud and extortion, and they were, therefore, particrps Mt. Cooke said, that KRAUS only point, but be would pursue his inquiry a little further. Tie insolvent proceeded to state, that he had deposited the papers in qnestiou with Mr. Knight, an attorney, who held out almost daily exneaations that some person would take them, and among others Mr. Hatched was named. r. BARRY was about to cross-examine the insolvent, when ' The Cuter CO4XISSIONER inquired of Mr. Cooke whether he intended to call any witnesses. Mr. COOKE replied in the negative, and commenced his addles,' to the Court on the merits of the case. The Learned Gentleman principally confined himself to the point hinted at by Mr. Com. missioner Bowen ; he said. that it appeared to him that the insol vent had had reason to believe that money would be advanced on the papers, when he made the representations which iaduned hie clients to give credit ; therefore he would not press fur a detention of his person. Mr. BARRY commenced his address to the Court, when The CHIEF COMMISSIONER. informed him that he might be relieved from doing so, or calling any witnesses, a..no case was made out against his client. Mr. BARRY was glad to hear that the Court was with him, yet he thought in justice, he ought to prove by witnesses that the in. ' solvent bad good reasons to entertain the expectations which occu ' pied his mind when he obtained credit. Ile declined however doing so. After the Court had made a tew general observations on the case, the insolvent's discharge WAS ordered to issue, and Mr. Julian was appointed assignee.

THE' BRITISH PRESS POLICE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Assistant Waterbailiff complained to the lewd Mayor that in the execution of hisdoty he narrowly escaped the punishment of death a few days ago. He had gone down the River for the pur. pose of checking the practice of fishing fur white bait ;'and after having seized some nets which were in use for that purpose, ob served that a very destructive net was In the water close to 11'001- wich He forthwita rowed up to the spot, in order to eau the net, but the moment the sentinels in the yard perceived his intention, they presented their muskets st hint, and would, he had no doubt, have shot him dead,-had not some persons in the yard, who knew him, interposed to prevent the catastrophe. He had, nomitbetanding the danger he incurred, determined to make himself master of the unlawful article, and had made himself known as an officer of the City, in the expectation that such in. formation would have the desired effect ; bat how was he astonished when the sentinel., as if with one mind, took fuU aim at him. The moment he desisted from the performance of his duty the net was bawled in, and he learned that it belonged to the military gentle men on guard, who were in the habit of living upon the plunder of the bed of the river. He told the people belonging to the yard that he should apply to the Lord Mayor on the subject, and they re quested that he would not, but no offer was made to gire up the net ; and he thought it was incumbent upon him to represest the fads 54, if he was to be subject to such a desperate plan of resis tance to his authority, there would be no longer any utility in his attempts to carry into effect the Act of Parliament. The LORD 31avoa thought this account of the occurrence a linle overstrained, and told Nelson his fears of death mast have interfered with his judgment, and represented the hideous image to his mind without reason. Nelson deeland that he was convinced that if he had persevered in getting possession of the net, be wool dhave been shot as dead as a knit. He thought it more necessary to make this complaint, as the fishermen would be apt to abandon their allegiance upon hear ing that the soldiers had forcibly possessed themselves of their un lawful net. The Loma MAYOR said the waterbailiff had, according to this statement, the accuracy of which he had no reason to doubt, been most improperly resisted. His Lordship believed that the sentinels would not have fired if the net had been seized, notwithstanding the menace, but the proceeding was exceedingly culpable, and he should write to the Commissioner of the Dockyard, in order to secure the future protection of his officer. Nelson said that the Lord knew he had enough to do to keep the fishermen in order, and that it was &Amen hardship upon hint to have to contend with those whose balances it was to fight, and who could, in the twinkling of an eye, knock him u dead as the last sturgeon he had disposed of to royalty, MA R I.IIOROUGH-STR EFT. On Saturday last Sir Jame, Caterers, who had twice before ap. peered at this office, at the instance of the parish officers of St. George's, Hanover.squee, -who wished to be relieved from the burthen of suppnetiele his wife Lady C,lburn, who had become chargeable on the funds of that parish, again came before the Magistrate, with a view of proving that the parish officers of St. George's, at all events, had no claim to be indemnified by him for any advances they might have made to her Ladyship, inasmuch as he had no legal mulenient hithin that pariah. Sir James. being sworn, stated, that in the year 1815 he occupied lodgings in liathbone.place, in the parish of Alary-la-bonne, for a space of time seeeeding three months, for which he paid a weekly rent of ten shilling. ; and from that period to the present time lie had not paid a sufficient rent or done any other set which would entitle him to a residence in any other parish in England. From the year 1813 until a very late period he had been out of the coun try, chiefly in the West Indies, and since his return he had never lived at all in the parish of St. George. He was married, he said, to his present wife, Henrietta, in Ireland, in the year 1791. To some questions put to hint by the Magistrate, Sir James said that he was quite unable, if he were even so disposed, to support his wife, as the only means of support he possessed for himself was a salary of lOW. from a situation he holds in a public office. There were however circumstances connected with his situation as re. garded Lady Colbum, which it was unnecessary to state there, ' but which determined him not to allow her anything, if he even could. The Magisdate said it was to be regretted that such ciecum. stances existed, but the ease was now out of the hands of the parish officers of St,. George's, and rested entirely with those of Mary-la-bonne parish, as it was in the latter parish that Sir James had last paid the sufficient weekly rent to entitle him to a legal settlement. Sir James and his Solicitor then retired. Lady Coburn was waiting in the passage of the office for the decision of the case. She looked the picture of distress and want. QUEEN.SQUARE.

Prisoner was observed in the area at about nine o'clock yester. day morning, golng into the coal cellar, and subsequently, ascending the steps with the shovel, was pursued and taken.

The butcher refusing to return daineconey he had paid for the meat, was the cause of this application. GREGORIE.—If I grant you a summons, the butcher wiil laugh at me.

Yesterday the two Carrisca, the pugilists, were brought up in custody before the sitting Magistrate, R. J. Coaxes:as, Insq., charged with beating and assaulting half a dozen people, consult in ot' three blacksmiths and their wives. One of the female complainants was thechief spokes woman. She stated, that as she and the rest of her party were returning alter home alt spending the afternoon with some friends, they obsuved ' the two CUTUSIM and another person standing together at the corner of Union-street in conversation. When witness came nearly abreast of them, one of the defendants (Dick) gave her a shove that 'mulled in pieces a large jug which she carried in her hand. " Upon turning round to ask the cause of such treatment," said the fur complainant, " and to demand satisfaction, I saw that I bad rather a rough customer to deal with, so instead of tackling ' with him myself' leans my husband, that there little man, your Worship (pointing to her husband, who had two desperate black eyes), and desired him to have satisfaction for the assault. The moment the poor man opened his mouth to speak he had a list thrust into his face and was floored in an instant" Both the Curtiees here interrupted the witness, declaring that neither of them laid their hands upon the man with the black eyes. The fact was, that person was so intoxicated at the time, that his wile carried him along the street on her back, and it was while she was thus engaged that the jug spoken of was broken, in conse quence of her having jostled against one of them (the defendants) with her load as described. The 31agiatrilte observed, that the man must 'have been very severely beaten by somebody, for his face and eyes proved it. William Curia federal, that wither he nor his brother inflicted the punishment on the man ; it must, he was convinced, have been done by his wife, for of all the Billingsgates he ever heard he never heard co complete a one as that blacksmith's wife, and all she had stated concerning them (the Curtiate) were falsehoods from be. ginning to end. The female complainant proceeded to state, that aßer her hus band was well licked by the defendants, the rest of her party inter fered to prevent his being beaten when down on the ground, and they all shared the same fate, " and as for myself (added she, dis playing her bare brawny arm up to the shoulder, which exhi bited several black marks), I could show your Worship more bruises and marks en other parts of my body, if you would be pleased to look at them." The Magistrate remarked that there was no necessity for further exposure. The complainant then concluded her charge in these words—" I "do declare, your Honour, that we were all beaten in the manner ' you see by them two wagsbone lighting men, the Mr. Curtines." The defendant said, that it was past two o'clock in the morning when this alleged assault was committed; they were returning home, and when near their house they saw the party who now brought the•charge against them, all blind drunk, reeling from one side of the pavement to the other, when the female champion, who had I just stated the ease,`carne close to them ; she gave a reel towards them, and broke a quart Mg that she had In her hand, and com menced heating one of them (Bell) about the head with the rt. maining part until it was wrested from her hands, and while this was doing the rest of her friendi fell upon them (the defendants) right and left. In their own defence they submitted they had a right to administer a little pepper to get rid of such roagh Customers us the blacksmiths themselves, whose fists were like their sledge hammers, but as for touching their fair partners both the defendants most solemnly denied it. The Magistrate having been informed that the whole of the com plainants' party were extremely noisy and drunk when it the watchbouse, discharged both the defendants, It is stated that the late Owen Putland Meyrick, Esq. of Bodorgan, left 60,0001. each to his ten gratmekhildren.

TATTERSALL'S, MosDAY, JUNE 19. The attendance of subscribers Will far front being great. and the betting anything but frisk. The St. Leger was the only Stakes which attracted any attention till towards evening, when the July Stakes came up, and a few engagements were made, but chiefly on the field, and between horses. The only material alteration is on Trinculo for the St. Leger, who, after winning at Leads, is gone tack from 21 to Ito 1,000 to 30.

IrINIT DAY. The above great match, at 150 birds each, between lend Ken nedy and Captain Ross, against Messrs. Arrowsmith and Osbal destone, to be decided in favour of those killing the greatest num ber of birds in the three days, commenced yesterday at the Red House Inciosure, Battersea, and the attendance attracted by the extraordinary interest which the match has excited in all thesport ing circles, was the most numerous we have seen this season ; the beauty of the weather was an additional source of attraction, and the anticipations of line sport were more than amply realised. The betting during the week on the event of each day of the match, 011 the separate shooting, Lc. has been immense ; on the match it wss even Lord Kennedy and Captain Ross for choice ; on the gun, 25 to 10 • on the day's shooting, the same as on the match. The Following is a statement of the day's sport, at 50 bit?* each : Killed. Killed. Mr. Osbaldestone - 42 Lord Kennedy - 37 Mr. A rrowsmith - 41 Captain Ross - 34 83 I 71 BlaJority for Messrs.

Betting or: the match 2to 1 and ► to 2 on Messrs. Arrowsmith and Osbaldestone. STAFFORD RACES.—None of the Stakes filled ; the time for naming has been therefore extended to the Ist of August, when the respective Stakes will finally close. No alterations will be made in the conditions, except that twenty guineas, instead of ten, will be added to the Gold Cup. It is expected that Dorchester Races will be renewed this season with unexampled energy, the subscriptions being at present very liberal; and, from the excellent sport afforded last year, it is hoped that r great number of horses will be entered early; it will probably take place in September. The Recorder will make his Report to the King in Council to-day, at Carlton Palace, of the prisoners that were capitally convicted during the April and May Ses sions, at the Old Bailey.

A fire broke out yesterday morning at the house of Mr. Rowley, W'hite-street, Borough, which totally destroyed it, and damaged the building adjoining. MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, 310)111AY, Jcw 13. We had a very good supply of Oats last week, but of other de eaiptions of Grain it was only moderate, and we bad but addition to this supply by land carriage samples this morning. Fine Wheat ruled rather dearer on Friday last, but owing to the Ise weather the demand was not so lively to-day and no advance D. tbe currency of this day week can be stated. Till the result of the two Bills now before Parliament is known, the trade is likely to remain in a very unsettled state. Prices of Malting Harley must be con sidered nominal, as the warm weather has nearly brought the Malting season to a close; good sweet heavy Barley sells readily foe grinding. Owing to the supply of Oats being kept up, this article was very dull both on Friday and this morning, and prices must be quoted 6d. to Is. per quarter lowgr than last llonday. Higher prices were obtained on Friday for Beans, but this morning sales being heavy no advance on the currency of this day week could he obtained. Grey Pease were la. to 2s. and white Boilers 2s. to 3s. per quarter dearer. pries of Rapeseed and Linseell remain u last week, with rather more inquiry for the latter article. WHEAT. MAL I.

Smithfield has a very large supply of good Beef this morning, indeed much beyond what is usually seen at this time of year, and upon the stands we noticed a very go od s h ow o f fi ne grass-fed Scots from Leicester and Warwick ; from the quantity shown, however, and heat of the weather, so little business was transacted, that a very great proportion must be turned out unsold, although a reduc. Linn was at once submitted to of 4d. per stone. Mutton was equally dull of sale at a reduction of 11. ; but for Lamb and Veal there was no briskness, and much doing for such as were good in size and quality. Pork remains without alteration.
