And many advantages; he had mar.aged the case with great policy, but he (Mr. Sr'. nett) doubted if, with aI.I hit talent. his client would rot produce a greater effect upon the passions and feelhigs of the Jury. Such was the power of beauty mat seemoplishments—aid such was the power possessed by Plus Foote, that public prejudice was against. his (Mr. Scarletra) silent; sod that public prejudice, raised and continued by that lady's Mewls, they still further thought to propagate. The Jury mold not have felled reniarkiug, in the tidies' of his Learned Friend, how much he dwelt upon the conduct of a certain individual, and with what an air of vehemence and in. dignation he noticed the conduct of Celurel Ilerksley. For the fist hour of his Learned Friend's address, he (31r. Scsrlett) scarcely knew whether he was Counsel for Colonel Berkeley or Mt. Bayne; for though Mr. Ilayec el...et! the charge, all the way was prepared by the seduction of Colonel Berkeley. The object of that could not be mistaken. This, it would be said, was a fair creature doubly 'hued ; and mark this result—that Mr. Bayne was to pay the penalty of Another topic he must advert to; and that was, that has Learned Friend almost eulogised as virtuous, or sought to excite compassion fur as venial errors which, in (burl, of Justice at all events, were con sidered worthy of the highest reprobation. His Learned Friend had glossal over a course of life, which every tither, and every t o o. they, and every respectable man in society, was hound by his obb. gations to that society, to characterize as immoral. Ilavin,,ir stated so much, it would his duty to exactioe the evidence already sub mittal to their mace, stud then to lay before them ether evidence necessary to the defence of his client. lie hoped, that when the Jury came to estimate the damages, they would not estimate the ne.:iirding to the City and fgvorai:ce of the young man who was the el.%••111%11,t in this case. but according to the drums of the lady who sass plaintiff; and then they would not allow her popularity as an actress to operate on their minds, so as to induce them to give one (soiling more damage% to her than to ashy oilier who came before a Court of Justine under tistrerent citeuristancts. The young matt for whom be (31r. Barlett) appeared, very recently became of age. In the year 11123, lie had the good fortune to beeline acquainted with 131 r. Foote, whom he invited to his house ha Staffordshire. This led to an introdt.c :ion to his daughter, which gave birth to an attachment, and ended in an offer of marriage ;fruit) Mr. Harm to Miss Foote. At that time the lady was with child by another man. Site afterward* went to that person's horse, and remained there some time, 'skive her father and her mother with her. Then, as En appearance must betray her indiscretion, in the month of March • journey to the country was proposed, and in the country she was delivered of a child. On the 221:11 of June she returned, and an. oilier promise of marriage was made, in the presence of the good mother of the lad). Soon afterward s, !amerce, a complete dia. revery took place. stud Sr. )Myna, who could no linger remain in ignorance, flew away to the country to take his own measures. The lady, it was wall known, was older than the gentleman • she hail had tern yes' practice at Covent-garden Theatre, and four years' previously at l'lyint nth. She had also borne two children, aril it therefore could not be imagined that she was inexperienced in the ways of society, or in the nets of it. Air. Boyne had never been aware of the lady's visit to Barnard Castle, or to Tunbridge; it wits true, huivertr, that he had bent informed of certain trans. actions relative to Col onel Berkelzy. Hut, duntighter abserce front town, her father had told him that she was afflicted with apal. nionary com;.l.iiiit, and that nit her physicians had considered the amill of the res. and the !alpine of her profession at Covent-garden 'Theatre, wis too much fur her health, a trip to the country was cut Sldered atisofutely necessary. Several other letters were writ. by the father, Rion informing Mr. 'Jayne that she was better, I some that alt - was worse. but all feuding to martinets the de.

Ile win a young and an ignorant young otan, who had but just come of age ; but she was a wornati much older, who had had much excerience. had borne two children, and who well knew of what stuff man was made. If Mies Foote had argued as she ought to bare dune, she should have said, `• here is a young man shout to take a step that will alienate fur ever from him his mother and his sister. I pity him and I pity them; I feel for leis unhappy passion, and, notwithstanding he has made me a promise tot marriage, I ought in generosity to return it to him, and go hack to the Theatre that is open to receive me; I can live in splendor, and as the citettiostances rela tive to I blond Berkeley are well known, I cannot be in. jured with the public as a public servant; I will not then advise him to neat:ice Ins character and his honour. because he has been attached to me.

She was nothing more than an amen and one of tainted character in private life, hut she saw before her a nun who had omen, and her family Alen saw him. She had no idea of happinits or rank; all she sought for in the connexion was peeuninty advantage. If a young wontan had appeared before a Court of Justice who could say, •• I hare been the victim of seduc tion : I hare been ruined ; 1 have been led from virtuous con nexion., and my whole life mum be affected by another's crime," then indeed the Jury might I to asked for liberal damages, and theta it would be a difficult task to address them in nate,ettion. Hut if the Jury were of opinion that. roan the very onset of this business, the whole object of Muss Fume was pecuniary adorn tage ; that she had no hope nor prospect of happiness ' • then in how different" light did she stand before them ? If they believed that it was her wish and the wish of her family to impose on a young man, who Mil not know the value of money, who was placed with out a single friend to advise him, and who afterwanla knew that shame NA misery would follow an act that he was weak and foolish enough to contemplate; then what damages did the tolaintiffdeserve ? Unless die Jury could think that a woman with a tainted character could descrve all the warm feelings his Learned Friend the Attar nee-General had endeavoured to create, the damages the Jury would give could be scarcely too small. His Learned Friend had said, that he did taut ask damages from feeling, but es a awe. pensatien for the loss of rank the lady would have held as the wife of Mr. Mayne. It is for this that she demands damages from a Jury, ut the Jury should inquire what loss she hail - SUAlliglell. Would she have valued the situation in which he would have placed her, knowing that she had made him miserable, after the first grati fications( those pauions of which he had been the victim ? Ia at jug dee to virtue to cooeeive duet he could have loved her afterwards ? No, hut she only said to, herself, " I will keep him hy me, until I know what bargain I can make with Colonel Iterkel:7." The bond has beta read to the Court, by which she gave up her chit. dren to (,lot el rkeley, foe this site might not be blamed ; but in that bond she does not stipulate that she shall ever be allowed to see her children again ; and this was the conduct of a mother, the mother of an infant child. lie (Mr. Samleit) dot not know what might be the sentiments of his Learned Friend on thus sub ject ; but, for himself he would say, that if be had been so de- graded as to form such a ounnezion, with each a woman, the mo- ment he found that she was so completely without the common feelings of nature. as to give up her children without the right of ever seeing them again, be would instantly have left her. It should be recollected that Miss Foote commenced early to steely those characters, and those subjects, that were calculated to debase the mind ; for even in the part of Juliet there was mach that a modest woman thould not read • and how greatly did such an education tend to deprive het of vintirms feelings. He begged theJttry to view the case as it really was—that of a young woman who had been the mntreas of another, becoming acquainted with a young man, and keeping hint by her until that other MO decided what he alieuld do with her. It was clear that she had kept copies of the letters she had written to Mr. Mayne, and this cireutaistante argued strongly that she had reasoned thus— " The young man well marry me and make a good settlement, or else I will go to the Attorney-tieneral cc some other able lawyer, and he will get damages for me." The conduct of the young man was different ; he heel kept no copies of those letters that were writ ten in the confidence of a misplaced love. The Jury could not ametie.• that if they had been married they would have lived to gether six months; even her mother would not swear that she ex- , wetted i:; then it' a large settlement had been made, a large trte ntaintenan:e would hate been a matter of course. l'he r a y ra mtist be convinced that the only object of the lady was, if she could not make matrimony of it, at least to make of Is a loatter of money: that aloe might have one leg, r.s the father had had I the other. Could a Court of Justice then land itself to encourage such a motive ? It was necessary ter the Jury, in their conbitltra don of the case, to forget that the plaiiititi was a favourite actress. They might be auueed that her popularity would sot b•affected by , their verdict, and they might depend on it that the next benefit of Miss Foote, at eithn of the theatre*, would be mere pealuedve than it had ever been. After having had with her father mad, ! 2.000 f. of .Mr. Mayne's money, PM only canoe to a Jury is nit them for twenty or thirty thousand MOM. Miss Foote, it should be recollected, had brought herself into this serape, and it wits bard. ml Col. Berkeley had dune her any wrong, to make Mr. Mayne lay for it. What excuse could she and her tether have for not . bringing an action against Colonel Berkeley. who had invited her to Barnard Castle, had there seduced her, and bad a child by her, under promise, it was said, that he would marry when he was roomed to the peerage? lie (Mr. Scarlet!) sould ask the Jury, if they b. lieved that any such promise had b:en I made by t:ohmel Iterkeley ? If so, the guttural way would have been to bring an action against hint, and not against this young man ' who, with all his fortune, might be celled unfortunate. It was his mother anti his sister who prevented him from marrying Miss Foote • for, had be been sugeral, he would have listened only to the dictates of passion, and would have married her. Ile (Mr. Saulett) thought that Miss Foote was fortunate, if her whole object was not money, in having thus escaped a mauls whish ' would have rendered both miserable. Ile entreated the Jury to consider this cause as one of pounds, shillings, amt pence, for MA I it really was. Mr. Mayne had done her no injury. In one leap to her he says o , never injatted you"— No ! She passed by the man) who had injured her, and fixed on him. He (Mr. Sear lett) felt assured, that on a torture consideration of the case the Joty retold award her very little damages indeed. IA variety of letters were than put in and read to the l'ourt. 'They were chiefly thou that paned between Mr. Foote and Mr. Ilayoto, and between the latter gentleman tied Miss Foote, to wloch the beamed t 'Lomond fur the defendant haul alluded in the course of his address.

Berkeley was broken Mt: It ...Is astonishing that lie shoultlllireet his Counsel to describe hint as he had done, to degrade him so low in the scale of human beings for thedied orpose of saving his pocket. There was another point in the speech of his Learmsl Friend, to which it was neces sary to reply. The mother and sister had been stated to be adverse to the marriage; he (the A ttueney-t /eneral) would admit they were adverse; but was it theyllwk), on the day preceding the one ap pointed for the marriage, locked the dem of the apartment in which the young man sat, 'mode loin intoxicated, and plied hint with wont at seven the next morning, for the purpose of rendering him incapable of pertonming his promise to Miss Foote ? Were they parties who did ran, or was it done by a set of persons who knew him to he rich, and who were anxious to share his property ? —who knew that if he were under the directions of a woman or sense, this must altogether cease ? hook at the ease as it refers to the tonne:inn of the lady with Colmel Berkeley. Ilia learned Friend had charged lints with revealing the nature and circum stances of her whole life. But it should be remembered that Mr. Bayne himself inserted two letters in the public papers, charging her Maio having tkal two children by lel. lkrkeley. blow then mull her Counsel be accused of having expelled her ? It should be taken into account, as a material point, that when such a care ns this came before a Court of Justice, every art was laid open, and every circumstance brought forward, that could in any way tend to make the wrylicant for 41:linage.% less deserving of them. But with the exccptim. of the single affair with Colonel Berkeley, shunter had ii.v.noteil no charge against her; and her character 1111.11 been stained in this teepees slaw. Ile (the Attorney-tie:lmnd), had before stated that on this aCCOI4III *WI was more au object at conpassion than of 110 Cat ,Prtr.m ; sr Sete atd . ,:al, 111111 d; THE BRITISH PRESS. blame. She had been seduced by Colonel Berkeley under a pro wive of marriage, which had been reiterated over and over again. This had been stated to 1111 r. Rayne; yet Mr. Scarlet( did not be lieve that any promise had been merle. It was competent to call Colonel Berkeley, that lie might prove this, and not let it remain an empty assertion alone. Ile (the A tiontey-Geiteral), thought t h is a full answer to what had been stated on this leant on the other side. Was not the lady an object of compaseion, idler having re mained for live years closely attached to the person who had ee• doted her ? It was not until the birth at her accend child obliged her to see that the consequences would be fatal not Only to herself, but to her offsprieg, that slat consented to a final separation from this person. Yet the l'ouneel of the plain tiff had described her as a woman who wanted central affection—without feeling even for the children to whom she had riven birth. Could it be for a moment conceived that she even imagined she should be prevented from seeing her enildren, or that, knowirg (01. Berkeky Ai eke did, she could ever have sup posed that he would have prevented it The thing was impossible. and the idea niust he dismiesed. Ile (the A tiorne.)•li(ueral) did not think that the aallence h ght forward on the part of the de fendant could in any way affect the case, and lie v nulls ate the grounds of his opirum. 1/id the letters from Miss Foote, that hid been read, in the least trench upon the case ? Or was the other set of letters, that were written without the knowledge of Mies Foote, to induce the Jury to cut down the damage. of his client ? Was her character to be imp tried, because another person hail acted perhaps improperly ? The Jury could never make her enter for an act of which she had no cognizance. But, after all, what effect had those letters ? Mr. Bayne was made to complain that Mr. Foote had nett informed him in any of them of , t the pectilir.r situation of his daughter? But how could he have done so with any feelings of common propriety ? It should be remembered that all that time 3.3 Foote was cherishing the hope and expectation that Colonel Berkeley wonitl not so ler forget his honour as to refuse to make her hie wife. If he had an done, what would he have said when he knew that his secrets had been revealed? Until Colonel Berke ky had derided on the course he intended to pursue, it was the bounden duty of the father of Miss Foote to keep the cireum stances he had alluded to from the knowledge of any one. It was at least his duty to conceal the affair until after the ?3d of Jure, the day on which Colonel Berkeley was to decide. What all communication with Colonel Berkeley was at an end, then ceased the correepondence between Miss Foote and Mr. Bayne; at least to letters from her, written after that period, had bet , i pro duced. All the circumstances that were now known to the Jury were known to Mr. Bayne. Ile knew that Miss Foote had bad two children by Colonel Berkeley ; he had read all the let. tees that had been produced; and after this knowledge, he en. ford into an engagement with the lady, which hr broke off iti so extraordieary a manner. The Learned Council for the de. fondant had made many ingenious, many eloquent remarks, I but the Jury would throw them aside, to conaldee again I the evidence that had been adduced ; and if nothing had been done to destroy this evidence, they would renter) to the original question as to what damages thu plaintiff was entitled to recover. An obeetvatton was made. by Mr. Searlett, which was repeated in three distinct places in his speech, why Miss Foote had nut 'twilight an action for breach of lutenist. of marriage against Colonel Berkeley ; but this question would be se: at rest when it was recollected that she had not the power of doing so after her en. gagement to marry Mr. Bayne. Was Miss Foote to blame. be (the Attorney-General) would ask, for being beaittifol, or fur being amiable, or for making impression on the hearts of those who knew her ? Was slw to blame evert for going Cu' Marlborough tinder the circumstane-A in which she was placed ? But was it she who wrote after her return ? No : from Mr. Bayne Caine a letter—a cautious and a gearded one, and not the prodnetion of the ideot character lie had been described by his Learned Friend. Then head' his own free will renewed his offer, which eh accepted ; the proceedings then went on front time to time until a licence and a ring were bought, and every preparation was made. What is then the conduct of Mr. Bayne ? Again, without assigning any muse—without an attention to the common civilities that pass between man stud man, he retires into the country, mid takes no further notice of the lady. His client had no other way than the one she had adopted to pie serve her character ; if ante had not done so, every calumny would have been out against her (and there were enough already) ; she had, however, been left this appeal, and he was sure it would not be made in vain. In a Court of Justice, a Jury was not to award damages for an injury to feeling, but to do justice. And it should recollented that Mint Foote had lost the rank acid station in am dwty to which age nialld have been emitted if she had been made thu wife of Mr. Bayne ; she Find also lost the benefit of that settlement about *hell his Learned relend had said so much ; but it was a settlement made, as hail been inured iu evidence, by the own fret will of Mr. Ilayne. Ile had raid. with out any interkrence by any party—e• My property is so and so, and I will settle so and so on her." Ile (the Attornev.lieneral) had now gone through the whole of the case, and he felt assured that the Jury would do *hat in their opinions justice required they should do, and in their judgment award to each of the parties what each of the parties deserved. The LORD CHTIT -recapitulated the evidence, and charged the Jurv. He ohmerveg, that although a woman could leut be considered in a Court ot. Justice as Nevi-mod limit thrilling a matrintoilial engagement, because she lead h a d chattel' hy ant.:hcr man, it should be recollected that such a person could not be placed precisely in the same light as a person of unstained character. The Jury, however, would tonsider the evidence that had been brought before them, and the speeches of the Learned Counsel on both aides ; but whatever they might rive in the way of damages, should be done with temper and moderation.

When the verdict was delivered, a very general buu or satisfac tion passed through the Court. The following are some of the letters that were read in the course of the trial.

Thursday, Ju.y 1, 1824. 1 have received your letter, stating that " ender no ctrennistances whatever it would be p roper that any acquaintance should hence forth exist between us. ' 1 cannot but believe sonic very treacherous conduct has been prsetired towards rote, and also towards yourself, to effect so very sudden a change in your . sentiments. Surrounded as you were this morning by my enemies, without one friend to do me justice, I am 'kurpriscit (although my pride is much wounded) that such a result should have been the conse q uence. But u I am Ignorant of the specific cause of your withdrawing yourself, will you dome the kindness to make me acquainted with it ? It appears that the money kindly advanced by . you to pro. mots my father's interest in the army, and now lying 111 the Bank to Ire returned, has been reported as having been borrowed for my use. l'his is a subject which 1 entreat may be properly chestnut!, and which I heel assured you have too much generosity to allow any longer to be so misrepresented. 1 regret that you refused to acknowledge the honourable pmposals you made to me. although you now have thought roper to stall them ; because 1 must inevitably be subjected to the suspicion of having asserted a falsehood. Put under all cireuniataives I still believe you did in. tend me honourably ; and for your kind SIII4I generous conduct to wards me, I shall ever admire and respect you.

Although our acquaintance is to cease, I lament that by th.s.abrupt interniption of our intimacy I have been denied an interview, iu which all necessary causes for its ter. urination might hare been more delicately and more satisfactorily explained.

I cannot resist any longer the desire 1 have entertained throughout this eventful week, to make you acquainted with the feelings that have agitated me. Your extraordinary conduct in leaving me in the manner you have has thrown toe into Leta:: of distress that may be conceived—l will not attempt to express it; hut I have still such faith in you that I cannot-1 will not, for a mo mint, suppose it is your own act; and although you arc at present separated from me, I cannot believe but that your heart and thoughts are still with me. If I have come to a right conclusion, let me conjure you to resist, with becoming pride, the idea that Mr. Ilayne is not capable of judging for himself; and in your coal moments I ant persuaded good sense will whisper to you that selfish 1110tiVell, and those alone, have influenced the honourable advisers by whom you are beset. Gracious God ! can my clearest I layne be content to allow such persons to use coercion to restrain him from following the dictates of his own heart ! Be upon your guard, for be assured such persona, with such interested views to sc hism them, will not hesitate to have your restraint of such a charac ter, that your own good sense or friends' interference may he too late to save you front. llemeniber, my dearest llnync, it was at your de sire that our intended nuptials were announced in ail tie Newspapers to take place on Mcttdsy Lit.
