The second anniversary dinner of the members and friends of the above Institution was held yesterday evening, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand. The room was crowded to excess be tween six and seven hundred persons sat down to dinner—his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex In the Chair. Amongst the individuals whn supported the t.oyal Chairman we noticed 11. Brougham. Esq.. 31.1'., John Smith, Esq., M.P., J. Abercrombie, Esq.' M.P., the Common Sergtaht, Dr. Birkbeck, and Mr. Alderman Wood. The crowd in the room became so great after dinner, that several persons were unaccommodated with seats. The Duke of Susstx, on observing this. expressed a hope that those who had seats would have the urbanity to continue in them, and thus afford standing.roorn at least to those who were nut so fortunate. Ills Royal Highness then said, that In all great meet_ logs the first toast aiwsys was one of loyalty and attachment to their Sovereign, and that, in now proposing his Msjesty's health. he should give it as the health of the friend and patron of the Arts and Sciences. (Great applause.) " The King," three times three. The Anthem of " God save the King" was sung by Mr. Fitz. The next toast was " The Royal Family." BROVOH Ali then rose and spoke nearly as follows rise for the purpose of proposing a toast, which, for reasons obvious to all, cannot be put from the Chair. (Applause.) I see you readily anticipate that it is the health of the illustrious Prince who, greatly to our honour, and, I will aid, mien to his own; now presides over us. To name Ms Royal Highness was to praise him, and his pee ',epee alone restrains me from enlarging on a subject which afford ed ouch a rich and fertile theme, for where Is the useful institution which he has not supported? where Is the liberal and enlightened principle which he has not advocated? Were I to follow him through the whole count of his public life, I would find that he had at all times usefully, zealously, and elf:dully supported those institutions which where calculated to benefit the potpie. (Ap pletete.) lie is a friend to education in the most extended sense of the word ; he is the uniform, enlightened, and zealous advocate of all that had the moral and intellectual improvement of mankind for its end. I said that hi. presence imreed silence on me, and I now feel tint to throw away more lames would be useless, and only , serve to restrain you from drinking the health which you know I TAR propose, and which I now do, that of our illustrious Chairman: (Great applause.) Hit ROYAL 11 innxres returned o:rinks—After the handsome and kind manner in which his Honoured Friend proposed his health, and the flattering manner in which the company had cc. ceired it, he hoped he would be allowed to say a few words, not merely to return thanks, but likewise to state his feelings as they regarded the interests of that most important important institution which they were then met to commemorate—an institution to which his hand and heart were fully pledged: indeed, if such were not his feelings, be would rot be found amongst them to-day (Ap ple:lse), for he looked on the appearance of every individual then present as a test of feeling towards the inatitotion, and a firm p!etlee that he would use to the utmost his intellectual and physical powers in support of that institution which had in en short a tine risen to an eminence and acquired an impales Ice, which its warmest friends could have hardly anticipated. AU pawns anxious for the welfare of the country must feel an interest in the general education of the people, and the people must feel a great and an honest pride when they considered that the meats of their attaining an enlightened and a liberal education were furnished by themselves. His Royal 11h:btu:as went on to uy, chat though he was not present at thew meetings he had read the minuses, and was well acquainted with die proceedings of the several Mechanics' Institutions; he might, therefore, at etk of them as one to whom all their regulations were known, and he had repeatedly said that one of their greatest merits was, th at they were ender the sole control of the members in whose hands, and in whose alone, were the ettire management and interests of the concern. (Applause.) They might 3114 w others to address them, and they were right in no doing; it was but prudent to hear those who were best acquainted with what might be advantageous to the Institu tion, and then it remained for the members on their own judgment to carry into effect the suggestions and advice of those persons who had well studied and had the interests of the institution at heart. The control of an institution, which was peculiarly their own, and from which they were to receive to much advantage, could not fail to infuse a secret, and he would add, an honourable pride in its mnr.bers. He would venture as a friend, and as one who felt a deep interest in their success, to give them a caution, which he trusted they would receive in the spirit in which it was given. The invitution was founded on two principles, namely, that no political question was to enter into chair consider ation, and that no religion, of any description, was to be required of its member,. Now they had started forward with these two prmeiples, let them keep them constantly in mfad—let them stick to these rules—let them boldly bear themselves forward, and then prolong would rontinue to br as regular and as rapid as it had hi therto been. Secondly, he would give them his strong and earnest advice to keep always in view that they met for scientific purposes only, and I pray you (slid his Royal Highness) not to be induced by any false friend or insidious enemy to entertain at your meet ings political questions. Don't, I conjure you, be perverted into debating ancirties. Take my wo rd foe it, that your greatest enemy-- he who was determined to effect your ruin, would, as the most ef fectual means of doing so, not openly, but covertly, endeavour to create dissention and disunion amongst you. I warn you, there fore.agninst such persons,though they appear in the vitae of Mends. etiek so what I before said to you, and depend you must prosper. Every Englishman must be proud to see (hat in this country there was no station in which a man was notallowed to hare his own opinion, and that the enlightened people over which their Sove reign reigned were not a set of alarm, not mere machinery (ap plause). He did not use the teem from any disrespect to machinery, for Ito man could have a greater retaket fur it than he had ; no MAO estearned mere highly those ineustnous mechanics who, by their useful invention'', promoted the manufactures of the country; for, with due management, this machinery could be con. versed into a great blessing. If placed under proper scientific con trol it was what might be calk.; the economy of intellect. While one mechanic worked be might turn to his brother on the right and on the left; he might conimilnicete with them, and thus information would be interchanged; that was what he understood by the economy of time, which was as of great value in trade as in any other line of life. He had long felt an interest in such Institutions as the present : he felt too a pride in being so nearly allied to the Sovereign who presided over to enlightened a people; and he trusted that those present would persevere in their exertions further topromote the edu cation of that people. (Applause.) His Royal Highness went on to say, that eatablithunots such as the present were daily multi. plying. The number which now had circulating libraries of their own were from 115 to 90. This was a new link in the chain of society : it was, if he might use the phrase, an intellectual (rater. oity, resulting from a communion of intellect. He would con. elude by calling on them to till a bumper; and if it were not a sort of tuff, he would ask them to drink their own health* by proposing '• Prosperity to the Mechanics' Institution." His health*, Highness resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. 'Abe toast was drank with great applause, three times three. The Royal U 17.1 tit st AN, in propisiing the neat toast, said It was that of an individual whose name was dear, not only to this Hiatt. tution, but to all others of a similar nature—it was that of an irdividual who was the first who had the intellect to conceive, the boldres to attempt, and the triumph to succeed in establishing a Idechanies' Institute: it was that of Pr. 13irkbeck. (Great tip. please). That respected individual had the good fortune to succeed, and the sada .. .mien of his own conseierre must be more grateful to him than any compliment he could receive at their hands. His Playa! Highness then proposed the health of " the Founder of the flat Alechanice Institution, Dr. Ifirkbcck." Dr. BIIIKBECI returned thanks. The day of laying the first stone of their theatre would be long remembered, because of the presatee of their illustrious Chairman, and the day on which they were now oasembled from the presence of the tune illustrious huh. vidual. The Learned Doctor then entered into a full detail of the advancement made by the Institution since their first anniversary meeting. They were cheered in their progress and received their meed of praise from the wise and the good—they were opposed, it W 34 true, by those w hose censure was praise, and whose praise, if indeed they were inflicted with, would be a subject of regret. The friends of the Institution had the authority of the celebrated Marquis de la Plate to oppose to the idle objections of those who appeared so anxious to perpetuate the ignorance of the people ; that distin guished individual declared that those for whose benefit such In stitutions as the present wets intended, viz. mechanics, had greater capabitities for science, and that when communicated to theist, It fell into the hands of time where it was must likely to meet with proper and useful application. Ile had been honoured with a letter front that great philosopher, who was not smere smatterer In science, but was one who had tarried his researches farther than even our own great philospher bad dune. The communication here alluded to was as follows : " I am much flattered, Sir, by having this opportunity of trea t, ing to you the high micro which I entertain for you on account of the honourable zeal with which you disseminate knowledge amongst the most nommous clam of society, and Chit class which can make at once the a.oat useful application of it. " Alwyn' Dc LA PLACE." After come further observations, he said he could not sufficiently admire the teal and anxiety to take advantage of the education which was placed within their reach. He concluded with repeating to them a saying of the great ii!smondi, viz. that " man must be enlightened to distinguish good from evil ; that he must be vir. mous to prefer the farmer to the latter, and free to avail himself of the choice he has made. (Applause.) The Royal CHAIRMAN said, that if he were called upon to state his opinion of the conduct of the individual whose heahlt he meant to propose, in all the public acts of his life he could find no act more honourable to himself, or more grateful to his country than his promotion of general education . (Applause.) lie per ceived that he need my no more. fur with the cause of gavel edu tuition the name of Henry Brougham must be connected. He should therefore. without further preface, p ropose the health of Henry Brougham, Eog., the conetatent and enlightened advocate of education—three Haws three—Air, " The Berwick Jockey." Mr. BROUGHAM attuned thanks.—He begged to trespass on the company for a l'or minutes, wham he expressed the rest rind manifest progress.inder.l, he might say, irrexistihie progress— wh.ett education had, under the auspices of the Mechanic-re lusti tuiun, made. By It the severe/ useful arts were placed within the reach of the poorer clauses. As a proof of the advancement it had made, it would be enough to state the fact, that the insthutiou had now 1900 attending members. If, In addition to this fact, they metleti any other proof, let them look around, and compare the pre sent meeting with the numbs it,eembled thatclay twelve months, which did not exceed two hundred ; whereas there were now over six hundred persons in the room. That fact spokz. volumes—and it spoke additioral rclurnee, that in all the smell country term, h. • • THE BRITISH PRESS. braries were established. In one town thirty members had ' subscribed to purchase books fur their daily impmeetnent. He grieved to think that institutions star as the present could create any alarm—alarm, however. was felt in certain quarters, and his only wish was that those persons who had any objections to make, to tell out, to write out, and to Fay out at once what theiwobjections were, that they may be well weighed and considered, aye, and answered.—(Applause.)—No mortal man, endowed with reason, could say that it was more safe to have the people approxi mate to brutes, than that they %honld be instructed . He debcd, however, all the united power of the opposers of the institution to establish such a principle. The Learned Gentlemen went on to say, that his earnest advice to the niconbera of the institution, was to follow the advice of his Hoyal Highness, and to keep their society independent of, and totally to exclude from it, all questions of a political tendency. They might all meet and co-operate in the advancement of the institution, and still retain their own opi nions on all other matters. If once the society became a theatre for political or religious discussion s they might from that day date its fall; it would fuanlsh a liantre to theeir enemies, who were now so anxious for some yretext on which to ground their opposl.. tion. The Learned Gentleman, after some further observation,. vindicate 4 the Society from the charEe of forcing education on taw people; he wild there was no OCCIII3iOI, for such a proceeding, as the people themselves seemeil anxious enough tor its attainment; in deed u was only necessary to throw open the doors of the Institu tion to them, and their own desires caused them to enter, and to take advaptage of the instruction there offered to them. Tbere was no forcing as had been charted against them, no communication took place between the people and the promoters of the Institution, Aare what must necessarily he carried on between persons engaged in forwarding the came laudable object ' • there was merely a reci incite of advice and assistance. He should conclude with giving his mist anxious wish for Cie prosperity of the London Blecbanice Institution. (Great applause. ) The BO s Tist. Cnsittwair next proposed the health of Sir Fran cis Burdett, who would, lie said, have honoured their with his pre sence, but that lie was at present unwell in the country.

Several other tont,. were drank, and the Royal Chairman retired at slate hour. JMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY. Yesterday a Mooting of Share widen in the Imperial Distillery Company was held at Ilaaion's Coffee-house, pursuant to &dyer. verasernent. One of the persons present moved that Thos. Bond, Esq. should he called to the Chair. Mr. BOXD, without waiting to have the motion duly parsed, at once assumed the office, and proceeded to state the objette of the Meeting. The shareholders had invalid their capital on the faith of the prospectus, which had been and he therefore con. sidered the Company as null and void. When first it was proposed to establish the Company, it occurred to hint that there was a great chance of success, in consequence of the monopoly that existed amongst the distillers; and tilt proposed capital of 030,0001. appeared to him to be adequate to the establishment of a concern calculated to enter into competition with those monopolists. He paid deposits upon several share* under this Impression; but he found, upon inquiry, that the Directors bad acted in direct opposi tion to their expressed intention. They had purchased the preening of Mears. Booth and Co. of Hampstead, without saying a word to the shareholders, and then they (the Directors) cslled upon the shareholders to sign the Deed, and to pay 61. on each share. Two or three months afterwards he received a quiet letter, calling for dl. more on each share. On inquiry the Secretary candidly in. formed him that no more than 1,400 shares had been subscrtbed, that GOO had been forfeited, and that the whole amount deposited did not exceed 70,0001., of which 30,0001. bad been given for the premises. There was a breach of tattle upon the part of the Dircc. tors. He did not ascribe it to any want of honour on their part. They ought to have been commercial men. What could it. bit sup posed Mr. Rotor Moore, hi.P., std ntheleigentlemen of that class, knew of the business in which the Company had embarked ? With a capital of 70,0001., 36 0001. of which was to be expended in premises, what could be done ? What was to pure/nun carts arid horses, to convey the raw material. and bow could the Company give the usual credit nt twelve months upon the article which they were to produce ? The shares were, in fact, not worth haifs. crown each, and he would as soon cut his throat as buy shares. Mr. Bond then read the opinions of the Attorney andSoliettor Generals, on the subject of the Royal Stannary Mining Company, and stated, that the analogy between the condition of the two Companies was PO strong as to jusufy the Sleeting in acting upon those opinions. He then rend the Requisition, calling upon the Directors of the impe rial Distillery Company to re:urn the deposits, as the shareholders considered the deed of uttlement a complete nullity. Mr. Bond concluded by moving that the requisition be signed by the share holders present, to which it was objected that the motion ought not to be made by the Chairman. A SIIAREUOLDER begged to know whether any Director of the of the Company was present, or whether any person attended upon the part of the Directors, to give any inforniation that might be considered necessary. • There was no answer to this question. Another SHAM:HOLDER—In my opinion, it would be very lm prudent to sign this requisition, without hearing from the Di rectors. Fcr a considerable time nothing was done for want of a mover. At Lust the llentlemen who had moved Mr. Hood into the chair, said, I would most willingly move, but I am not a shareholder. Here there was some laughter, and it was generally agreed that all that had taken place WAS of no avail, as there was actually no Chairman. hlr. BOND was then regularly voted to the Chair, in a small majority. The requisition was again read ; and a conversation arose, which proved that nines of those present altogether disapproved of it. A SHAREHOLDER—It would be absurd to sign a requisition of this description. It is here said that a deed drawn up with all the formalities of the law, is hot binding, and yet we are to pre sume that this piece of paper (pouring to the requisition) is bind. , ing. It is also said that tin se who sign ilia requisition do so upon advice. Now this would be stating a falsehood, tut we have had no advice. The CHAIRMAN said, the Stasnaryll ining case was so exactly in point, that there was no occasion for consulting COMM!. A SHAREHOLDER—If we sign this Requisition, how do we know whether we shall not be all thrown into Chancery, and then what will be our condition ? The opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor General give us reason to suppose that we stand uo chance, either in a Court of Low or Equity. After some further observations upon the subject claiming the Requisition, it was withdrawn, and the followtog Resolution was proposed and seconded : " Rowlved, that it is the opinion of this Meeting that the sant • of 60(1,00W. held forth to the public in the original Prospectus as the intended capital of this Company, not liumg been subscribed for by payment of a deposit on the stipulated number of 12,000 Shares, such a Company as the above has never been legally coo. atituted, and therefore never existed." A SHARDHOLDER said, lie must declare his determination to oppose the Resolution, inasmuch as the principle an which it went affected Companies of established character. The CHAIRMAN st last put the question, whether the Rotolo , tiou should be agreed to ? and it was negatived by a majority of one. The Chairman then left the Chair, and the meeting separated. Mr. Pepys, whose curious IMary and Correspondence has lately been given to the public by Lord Bmybrooke, WAS, it ap pears, one of the earliest eolleetors of rare books. &c. in Eng land. He is thus alluded to by Mr. thlatin, in his liibliontomiu.

Now it is a ormvinring proof to me, that tile indulgence of a passion for books is perleetly compatible with say situation, however active and arduous. For while this illustrious Bibliomaniac was sending forth his messengers to sweep every bookseller's shop from the Tweed to Penzance, for the discovery of old and almost un known ballads; and a bile his name rang in the ears of rival col lecters, he was sedaloo., in his professional situation, to put the Navy cf o England upon Mw most respectable looting: and is called the father of that sy►tem, which, carried into effect by British hearts of oak, has made the thunder of our cannon to be heard and feared on the remotest shores." The accounts lately received by eminent merchants who have correspondence with the Condnent mention many failures, and the existence of a general embarrassment, which is likely to produce touch calamity. In many parts of Germany and the Nethet-Inds the bankers' houses have partially suspended their discounts; and it is supposed that if the. Governments had not interfered, they would have taken advantage of the searzity of money to impose very on:rons conditions upon those houses which thcy continued to accommodate.—Edinburg.'' 05scr:•:-.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FRIDAY, DEc. 1 Middlese.r Sittings after Michaelmas Term. hdfore Lord Chief Justice BEST and a Special Jary. CRIM.CON. DANIEL THWINDIET, ESQ. V. THE HOW. CAPTAIN GEORGE HE/IVEY. This C3l:Se We/ on the eve of being tried in the month of May last, but in Enster Term the defendant applied to the Court to have it put off, upon the ground that two persons who were then in the West Indies were material and necessary witnesses, on his art, and that he could not safely proceed to trial without their les tintor y, the Ct u 't accordingly , r lered the tria' to be postponed un til the present sittings. The case having been appointed for triul this morning, the Court ws • crowded to exc ms at en early hour. fhe panel being called, seven special Jurymen appeared, and a tales being prayed, live common jurymen were added. Air. Sergeant Vaughan, Mr. Sergeant Wilde, and Mr. Juike, were Counsel for the plaintiff; and Air. Brougham and Mr. Alder son for the defendant. Mr. JUSTICE opened the pleadings. The declaration surged George Hervey, E. 4. commonly called the Hon. thleorge tt envy, with havinr, on the 21st of November, 1824, and on divers other occasions &nee then, had criminal conversation with Francesl Christiana, the wife of Daniel Thornlike, Esq. The demerit were laid at 6,0001. The defendant pleaded nut guilty. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated the facts of the case to the Jury. The painful duty had devolved upon him cr communicating to them a case of the must aggravated injury sustained by the plaintiff in his character of a husband front one who, under the semblance of friendship, had most basely and most treacherously disho noured his bed, completely annihilated his domestic happiness. and utterly destroyed the aim of mind which his former felicity allowed him to enjoy. Cases of this description, unhappily. were rot infrequent in Courts of Justice: but, familiar as they in modem times had become, still there was no general character to be aecribel to the injury they entailed on the parties, each case depending entirely on its own peculiar circumstances. The one that he was about to detail to them wi marked throughout by features most singularly cruel and distressing. The plaintiff was a First Lieutenant an the Royal Artillery, and a man of the most unexceptionable and honourable character. The defendant was a' Captain in the 60. h regiment of the line, and was the son of the Earl of Bristol. h g ave hint considerable pain to bring the con. duct of the son of so honourable and noble a family before them : but when men forgot what they owed to themselves and to society, when they suffered their misgoverned passions to lead them to the violation of every moral and honourable tie, none but themselves were to bhune if such conduct, in the result. rendered them amenable to the laws, and subjects-4 them to the just censure of the public. The lady in question was the daughter of Colonel Faunce, for merly of the leh, or the King's Own Regiment, In the course of the year 1815, when Miss Faunce was about sixteen years of age, 'plaintiff was doing duty at Colchester, and became introduced to Colonel Fawner, who was then residing there. An intimacy soon was formed between the plaintiff and the young lady. who at due time was not only extremely beautiful but possessed attractions of en highly intellectual kind, that were seldom found united with iliase personal chasms tar which she was so admired. When she was about eighteen years of age, a reciprocal attachment' having subsisted between the two young persons for some time, he avowed his great regard for her, both to her own family and to his. But the father of the young man, feeling that his son's resources were inadequate to support the lady in a manner suitable to her birth and station in society, remonstrated against the match, and it was thought advisable to break oft' this attach ment. In consequence, all intercourse between the plaintiff and the young lady was suspended. The effect of this on the sensitive I mind of Mies Faunce was most serious : her health became im. I paired, and she was in short very wretched, and the plaintiff became equally unhappy. Their intimacy was renewed ; and the parents of both parties thought that, under these circumstances, they ought to consent to their marriage; and accordingly, on 10th Nov. 1818, the happiness of this affectionate pair was consummated, the lady being then about 20 years old, and the plaintiff about 24. Ile took a house at Woolwich, in the neighbourhood of her family ; and they dived together in the most enviable and affectionate manner. On the 30t1 of October, 1810. Mrs. Thorndike had a daughter, and in the early put of 1821, she presented her happy husband with a son. Living constantly under the observance of their parents and friends, such was the harmony that subsisted between this fond pair, that the parents rejoiced at their having yielded to the force of their attachment and consented to their marriage. • The plaintiff was at this time on half-pay. Yid in the year he was put upon full pay, and soon after joined his regiment at Woolwich, where I, he continued till April 1824, when he received orders to join his company at Se. John's, Newfoundland, which was at that time their station. Some difficulty was experienced with regard to the propriety of taking his lady and her two children with him, but her affection overpowered all objections, and she determined to se company him to Newfoundland. They arrived there in Oho month of May. Unfortunately for them both, die defendant was destined to the same service, and he arrived there with his regiment a short dine afterwards. No previous acquaintance had existed between the plaintiff anti the defendant ; it commenced there. Up to this time the felicity of the plaintiff' and his wife had been constant, unbroken, and complete. Her unremitted attachment to him and bet children—her anxiety for his and their happiness was most exemplary, and even noticed by their friends as being remarkably intense. In such a place as Newfoundland. where society is con fined, and restricted to a few, the plaintiff and defendant were thrown together more than they would have been under other circumstances. Lieutenant Thorctlike received the. defendant as a gentleman, and a fellow-officer, and a friendship soon grew between them. They were officers on die Same service, stationed in the same island, quartered in the same fort. The Jury well knew that such was the nature of military duty, that it inspired avert of chivalrous feeling in those who belonged to it, and caused attachments to be more suddenly formed and friendships more quickly ripened than perhaps any other circumstances. A circumstance occurred, which at the time placed the character of the defendant before the plaintiff in a very favourable, hut, at it turned out, a very false point of view. The plaintiff became ill, and his supposed friend was un-' remitting in his attentions to him •, not only were his inquiries most ' frequent, but be attended him at his quarters, and administered to hint medicines, and even performed the most menial offices which could in any way teed to his comfort. But while he was acting thus it would appear in the sequel that he touk the opportunity or his friend's confinement to inwnuate himself into the affections of his wife. to practise every insidious mode to undermine her virtue, and finally, in the month of November following, to triumph over her honour, and to destroy tier and husband's happiness for ever. During all this interval of time the greatest intimacy subsisted be tween these parties. It so happened that at the close of the season the' defendant's regiment watt ordered to embark for the West lain, but Captain Hervey received orders to proceed- to Eteelaed to joie, some part of his regiment, and ho was expected to quit Newfoundland on the 12:h of September. It was material to at tend to the manwurros which were now practised by the defendant, for here it wan that his base intentions begun to work. His regi ment was emberked, and there were two of his Majesty's ships lying 'nimbi:ear, the Egerai and the Sir Francis Drake, which were ex pected to sail i s p a few days for Eneland. He, however, declined on sonic friVoIINIA pretext to go to England by the Egeria, and he remained behieutafter his regiment and his brother officers were sallies; on their say to die West India- It was thought strange that tins gentleman should thus renown ; but he had other %ie.s for doing so, of whichche plaintiff was the last person in die woad to entertain the least suspicion. He remained trout the 12th ut September to the 21st of November, a period of sever. weeks, alt z ftept b 4; • ~~ his regiment had embarked. The plaintiff during this interval of time gave the defendant (whom lie considered destitute of friends, hut regiment being gone) a general invitation to his house, thinkite that his stay would be but short, frequent opportunities heeler offered of which he might have availed himself to go to England but seine plausible excuse was always ready with him to et4oll . . for his delay. At Ism, however every thing appeared in order fee Ids immediate departure. The 'defendant took. his passage in the brie Minerva, which was then about tooled for England, with hi. fi lend, Lieutenant Tilden, whom he had pot to send high:nage Gls board. She was to Sail on Sunday, the list of November, at day light, but it was represented to the Captain by the eltiendaihth.. Lieteenant Tilden was a religious man, and wished I divine service uefore committing himself to the peril of tiler age; after some persuasion, the Captain of the snip consented to wait till divine tcrvice should be over. It happened that she 4441: Todd; bound for Cork, was also to mall on the same day in whips, ship the defendant had also taken his passage, unknowe els toe, plaintiff, and to his friend Tyldcn. This • ship was to sad at Op o'clock, and she left the harbour at that hour, but the defenslaste requested the Captain to lay by for hint outside the harbout tilt eleven o'clock, when he would come on baud. This was the host of divine service, at which-the plaintiff was a constant attendant. The defendant called on him to decoy plaintiff to go to church with , him that morning, hut the plaintiff being desirous of writ ngsomt letters to his friends in England, did not go. The defendant beine thus foiled, called on the plaintiff' in the aftetnoon, and Bawl " Come, Thorndike, are you sot going to the evening church i''' The plaintiff answered, " Yes,sif you are." 'II e detetxlani her. tied him to church, the plaintiff's wife pleaded itulisposition and therefore did not accompany her husband. A: soon se the defen dant saw the plaintif safely settled in the Governor's pew, which was the whole length of the church from where he himself sat, he left the church, returned to the house of his f. - i.intl, and prevailed. ea the lady to desert her husband. arid her children, and go I with him to the vessel to sail for Cork. On the plaintiff's return from church, he found his wife nes absent ; _ he made mar., anxious inquiries fur her, and was at last informed the dreadful tact, that she had been seduced Com him by his most amerming Wiend. It was iit vain for the Learned Sergeant so attempt M describe what were the feelings of his client at that moment : ho *bald leave it for the Jury to imagine what they must have been- There were his two children left upon the beach, deserted by their ' Mother, his home become desolate, the woman of his heart's most intenseaffections torn from him for ever; and all this ruin and de. relation wrought upon by his bosom friend in whom he had most ft ndly confided, and in whose honour he had assured himself to Pareas a treasure, surpassed only by that precious one of which he a d been so basely add treacherously robbed. The defendant em. barked and sailed to Ireland, and from thence proceeded to England sits the victim of his lust. The Learned Sergeant would not dwell long upon the subject of the adultery, as the nature of the tapir put that fact beyond all dispute. s hay embarked in the I rjg fodder, which was a small brig, and outlived during the whole t f the voyage one confined cabin contain ng a single bed. The i atone of legal prod' la these cases did rot require that the per. ties should be actually found in bed top thee, when the circum. stances were so afro g and so irresistible that it was in vain to rumor to raise a shad .w of a doubt of the fact. They arrived at Cork about 16 days after they sailed, it teing a favourable voyage, where they remained four or five 4sys, at the Commercial Tavern, s ill occupying the tame room ant. the same bed : after which they came to England. They arrived here about the end of December. This was a Fart of the care which would require the most sericus attenton of the Jury ; for it would open to their eyes what was the nal character of this defendant, and would show that his conduct to this unhappy lady was, from firm to last, dictated by the basest passion aid lust, and that a misplaced affection, nor even regard for bar s.sciety, were circumstances that could be pleaded as the least extenuation of his guilt. No sooner did he arrive in this country than he began to get weary of the company of lire wh om be bad seduced, ant he accordingly wrote a letter to the Reverend Mr. Rowell, who was the clergyman that performed the ceremony osl the plaintiff's marriage, and who was a most intimate friend of Colonel Fatince and his family. This letter, which we would read to the Jury, was dried Dec. 30, 11124. They had sailed from New foundland on the 21st Nov- so that the Jury would perceive sit weeks had hardly elapsed before this gentleman wished to rid hint. self of the be d,n he had brought upon him. The letter proceeded thus:— " London, Dec. ZOth, ltille. " Sta.—lt is my painful duty to communicate to you a drams.

" iremain, Sir, your very obrdiert prrvant. GEORGE liE !IVEY. " The Rev. John Russel, Oswestry." What were the feelings and what the sentiments which aniturt.lh suggested themselves to the minds of the Jury on the hearang this letter as to the object and motives of its author ? lie shotad say that it was a letter which indicated any thing but pure affection, o r even the slightest regard for the woman whose unhapaineas it pia. tended to deplore. For the defendant had not taken her from he: husband more than five weeks; then, being fully satiated writ the. luscious banquet, his low passions having been gratified, he began to b! wearied of the object, and so he would fain return her to her friends, desert her in this hour of peril and of desolation, and Leave hr the agony of her own reflections. What had he done, and what were the materials of that heart which could thus have acted ? Before that time there was no doubt, nay it would be proved, that Mrs. Thornlike was a weman of high virtue, and of high feeling, but prevailed upon by this defendant, with no common address. to leave her husband, to down her children, and to throw the indelible stain on her own fair fame, she at least deserved the friendly atter tions of the author of all this misery. lie would ask then whether it all thin sprung from a pure attachment, or a feeling even of the slightest kind towards her, he could have taken this coarse, 300 sought to have returned her to the bands of her of and be reaved parents? But this was not all, for the Jury world find that • child was born in the month of September following their embar kation, which made it, in the course of nature, impossible to be that of her husband. This was an additional MINORS no denbt, for the eenrse proposed in this very notable letter. Being tried, satia lard, and wished with the en j oyment of her person, no longer slid her mental or personal charms attract hint ; but be who had cropt the Hower now threw it like a dirty weed away. If one single par. tide of rent affection was felt by this man, he never could have thought of sending her back to her parents. Blaming that she had destroyed their peace of mind as well as her rem, rt would have been. one of the last things, under the circumstances, in hare propesed such a place for her retreat by him who hail any real desire to rea store her own lo.t peace of mind. What palliation. then, could there be offered for the conduct of this defendant? These war every thing in the way of aggravation about it. The ages of the plaintiff and his wife were similar, their families in the runt bo ci nourable profession, their attachment to each other unbounded, I - that every thing conspired to make this match a happy one, a n that, for many years, had nut this young man some in, a nd, di Ms " rude unmannerly touch," withered the blossom of domestec jays, crushed the promising flower that youth and lore had'. reared, end made the garden of home desolate and a desert. If 'he jury considered the very stature of the situation in witiele these parties were; living in a small fort, where no female' society could be found, devoted to each other and .to thrii thildren, who would have violated that sanctuary ? But thip man stepped in, was received by the hand of friendship, and under that disguise did this mischief, which DO time could repair and DV damages could compensate. Ile could not imagine a case of t:srper guilt. or of deeper degradation. No doubt ha should be told by his Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham), that all this was tide. fault of the plaintiff': it there was a perstalin the profession *by mak' make the worse appear the better Teazle, it was his Learnt* Friend, of whom it was no compliment to say this, for every day gave proofs of it. His eloquence would be used this day for thp defendant with its usual power. They would h ave the yout h o f the parties urged to them—" What! so young, and yet lap - wicked ?" Bat the Learned Sergeant would ask the Jury whether they could believe that this ruin could have been effected %inlet,* some great efforts had been made to steal away the affectaans or this lady from her husband in those moments when his ditty a• t. illness kept him from her ? He would say, that during those. OF months' residence at Newfoundland, the defendant had applieera more of his time in erecting the alienation of this amiable parstails. affections front her husband, than he could haVe done in his claw' as an officer. lie, therefore, again repeated, that the whole say was one of the most aggravated kind. The trial hail been past_ pursed to enable the defendant to get his witnesses; the hone was row come—the opportunity was now afforded that gentleman to derma his conduct. The Learned Serg tat a shcul I be glad to Sep there witnesses who were to be confronted with his own, in order • drawl the great demand the plaintiff had 0 a the jury for damages; brit knew that could not he dace. The plaintiff threw himself epuu them. and invited their inquiry as to Nis conduct. If it m ina be shown that he bad thrown this peed Z stray, that though it was true she insa a woman of high virtue, b hutitn: anti amiable, vet that he had at any time manifested the least neglect tow ar d, her. then the Learned Sergeant would wimit : that h e h a d no c l a i m up,* them ; for he did not stand there h i seek money alone at their : bats& ; the character of the plaintiff was paramount to the largest. damage's they could give.
