The remainder s. WWI not paid according to agreement, and a bill to plaintiff, on the 7th of January 1822; to which the. de fendant put in Ms answer. In the answer the defendant admitted I ' , e agreement, and he admitted likewise having been let Into pots •n but 0011 tended that the estate was so incumbered, that the . could not make a good title. After this, upon an appli made by the plainti ff , his Honour ordere d the remainder of purchase money to be paid into Court ; this order the de fendant was not able to comply with, and consequently was com mitted to the Fleet Prison, upon an attachment for contempt. The defendant's ease therefore now was, that the plaintiff never had ^en, nor was he now able to make a good title ; that the de nt had been and was totally unable to pay the large turn of • had been called upon to pay ; that he was now willing to e possession of the estates, or to go before the Master, to . a good title could be made; and lie trusted, therefore, Court would cow discharge him. KNIGHT canon flit same side. SUGDEN appeared on the other side. lie stated that the ant, who assumed to be a poor man, ventured to go to an and buy * farm to the amount of between 4 and 5,0001. gut possession of, and had enjoyed for ten years without it. The fact was, that the defendant was a wealthy dos this farm, the defendant had two others of his own, ad been cultivating ever since he submitted to go into I after he had swept this crate of all its crops, like. he , almost ass matter of course, to be discharged. If he had i sort of case at all, why did he not take that case to the Judge who made tho order of committal ? This sort of proceeding, particularly at this season of the year, was neither fair to one, or to the - branches of the Court ; indeed a mare agricultural motion a made within its walls. The defendast, it was tease, desirous of getting his discharge, but he. OD the other seemed to have every spirit of continued contumacy. tut endeavoured to p ersuade the Court that it was sen a plaintiff sought rat er than justice, otherwise the Be having suffered three years imprisonment would suffice of past offence—but as this did not satisfy the plaintiff; _ wiped it would satisfy the Court. With respect to this being an iteriemltural motion, he was quite unable to answer that allegation, e.e he did not at all understand fie phrase. lie knew nothing of ihaving been swept of its crops—but lie understood that were now as abundant, and the stock as valuable, as it en the defendant took possession of the estate. .e Loan CHANCELLOR was very clearly of opinion, under circumstances of this case, that if the defendant could make out' entitling him to he discharged, he was not now entitled to ad b:en is possession, far the course of ten years, of a very estate, and now, when called upon to pay for it, and after resisted the payment, to the extent of lying in prison for .payment, during three years, he was pleased to say, he give up the estate, without accour.ting for its produce or in any respect. If the defendant thought proper to make vii stating the property he had taken possession of, and he had made of it ever since he had got it, upon a copy of evit being furnished to the other side, his Lordship would . at any time, and also the plaintiffs answer to that atfi and after being supplied with those affidavits, his Lordship the best he could with them. J 1)61:1I ENTS.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. STRAYER. de SOLICITOR-GENERAL was instruct.td to apply exparte for 41 Injunction in this matter, against the defendant, to prevent the completion of a gallery or staith, to the extent of 220 feet over a of the river Tyne. '1 his staith was nearly completed ; it was ' upon upright posts, it was for the purpose of loading vessels coals, and evidently was a great nuisance, as well as en. on the rights of the public, who were entitled to the —.Dittmar desired to know when the party now applying injunction, knew of this staith ? Learned Solicitor iudd, it appeared that the work commenced nil bat, but that his client did not know a staith was intended erected till June. la/38111P then Inquired if notice of this motion bad been SOLICITOR-GENERAL answered in the negative. IRD CHANCELLOR said, that most certainly he would this injunction without notice first being given of the The granting of the injunction might be the entire de of a colliery, which unquestionably made this a most motion. If the erection of this ataith was an illegal act, th• present application was now made in proper time, the would no doubt interfere; but that question would have to NI on both sides; and, therefore, the Court would at present mate motion, with liberty to make another motion given. ' THE HATTER ON W. KEMP, A BANIRTITT. AT presented a petition in this matter on behalf of the , praying that the bankrupt might be restrained by the this Court from proceeding at law in an action to try the )f the commission taken out against him. The only ground the petition rested, was that of acquiescence to the corn , the part of the bankrupt. ILLOP was on the same side. ...terron-GENERAL, Alf. HORNE, MT. MONTAGE, o'H IT MARSH, were Counsel for the bankrupt, and they case to the Court upon the force of the bankrupt's own iT took an objtction to this affidavit being owl in point .aving been sworn only three days ago. some altercation at the bar, the Court over-ruled the objec- Ir. Hart having, in fact, yesterday, consented that the affi.. mold be used, and all points of form waved. Learned Gentleman, in opposition to the petition, then '. A more nefarious and oppressive proceeding against a had never (if ever equalled) been surpassed, than this against Mr. Kemp. In 1814 a commission had been against him. Ile had sworn that at that time his pro. amounted to 30,0001., after paying 20s. in the pound; yet ' been stript of all power over that property, kept four . close confinement in prison, by a proceeding under the iptcy ; and it was not until last Febtusry he found out that 'efficient evidence clearly to upset the commission at law. s indisputable evidence that the very bill of exchange, to 2501., which the petitioning creditor land also at that is attorney) Clissold. on which he took out the Commis_ dog the anriunt of his debt, had actually been paid by opt (the acceptor), and the money for it was virtually in at that moment. Therefore it was as clear as the sun at that under this commission there was no petitioning lebt; and all the bankrupt sought was that which he all the King's subjects entitled to—the right of trying ty of the commission. If the retitionlpg creditor and were satisfied that the commission could not be di,- law, or if they even had the least hope that it could no:, ought not to conic to this Court praying the Court to fair trial. This attempt on their part showed they felt could not sustain the commission for an hour in West. minister Hall. As to acquiescence, the whole of the bankrupt's allidayit, as well as the whole of his conduct ever since this com mission was taken out, distinctly proved that he protested against 'ity : and this was well known to the other side, because paid a dividend ; but those who had paid It had taken take bonds of indemnity two: the creditors to whom any '‘ad been paid. ,nt replied—And, although he could not deny, generally abanitrupt's right to try the validity of the commission against him, yet in this case his tirm opinion was, that •tipt had so acquiesced, and had so long acquiesced, that wonli now restrain him from taking that step, which he have taken. /RD CtiattuEttou wits decidedly of opinion that he to grant this application, and therefore dismissed it with ~ ' '.. !:;•e soner, __ _- log an cautiously pounds, • abawL e . nat a. from her, and turned her ant of the sbef. la about her business.

Neither this threat, nor the double detection, meld overcome, it seems, Molly Cogan's attachment ft Mr. Hill's bacon, for, a short time afterwards, she darted into theshop again, and snatching up a , piece of baron, weighing upward' of ale pounds, fairly ran off with it ; he howeser pursued, and overtook her, and finding there was no other way of p " wing his bacon," gave bet into the cue tody of en officer. Potter, a beadle of !Halftime, the officer called in, took from her • bag, which was found to coetain a large piece of beef, con sisting of See fine ribs, the greater part of a loin of mutton, and several small loaves of bread, which seemed to be the procee ds: of some previous depredations; and he assured the Magistrate, that 1 poor and decrepit as alas appeared to be. end drunk, as she certainly wee, she mammal wary nearly to outrun Mtn, although encumbered with her bag, Ir , with its commits, weighed very tittle less than I three quarters &cwt.

As Mr. Hill had do wish to press the cnarge, the Magistrate thought the best till_ rig wdo with her was to send her to her parish, and Potter was dinilld to take her accordingly to St. Oliva's, Southwark. Thil decision operated like a miracle upon 'he prisoner.

HATTOIr-G•RUCX, Auo. Ill.—Joseph Paget, an elderly man, from whose appearance one might presume that the very recollec tion of the " hey-day" of youth put his memory on the stretch, was brought up under a warrant, by Lee the officer, charged by a Mrs. Lacon with putting her in bodily fear of her life. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Lacon, a decent littlo woman, that about sixteen months ago the defendant paid his ad dressee to her, and not to " give a chance away," she admitted' ' them. The bans of marriage were published in Pancras Church; but before the solemnization, Mrs. Lacen got a hint that the de fendant had not strictly viewed the bill, of mortality In the parish, as it seemed that his first wife was neither dead nor buried ; she, therefore, by the advice of her friends, transplanted her affections to her present husband, who was recommended to her as an honest, hard-working, labouring man. Three weeks after marriage the defendant wrote to her, threatening her life in case she did not abscond with him. She disregarded the letter ; but in a few even ings afterwards he contrived to get admission with a loaded pistol, and she narrowly escaped having her brains blown out. He was then brought to this Office ; but on his promising not to permit the hallow'd form to lingering haunt the greenest spot on Memcry's waste," he was discharged. Since that time he has written both to herself and her husband the most threatening letters, using the vilest epithets, challenging the husband to single combat, and imploring the complainant to permit ham and her to be one. 51ra. Lacon now produced a packet of documents, that would 'do honour to any Chancery Barrister's bag, which Sergeant Sellon most patiently perused. The defendant declared his intentions were quite philanthropic. He understood that the parties bad separated on some grounds of , jealousy, and in order to give the young woman a humane asylum, he wrote those letters in the won language described. Sergeant SELLON observed, that his going before to the woman's residence with a loaded pistol, gave a seriousness to the case which it might not otherwise deserve, and ordered the defendant to find bail, not being prepared with which, the parties separated; the lady—not " to a nunnery," but the lover to the lock-up-room. MARI.DOROVCII-STREET, Aro. 16.—A Spaniard, named Francisco Blasco, who had Seen taken into custody some days ago, upon suspicion of being concerned with some other foreigners ' in practising impositions upon various pawnbrokers, by pledging with them imitation pearls for real ones, was brought before Mr. Dyer, die sitting Magistrate, :or final examination. The particu lars of this case were stated in our Paper of Monday. Mr. Fleuland, a Frenchman, residing in Newman-street, by whom, on hie examination CM Saturday, the prisoner said he was employed to sell these false pearls, now attended and confirmed his statement, but he added that the prisoner Dever had instructions to pawn any, nor did he (Mr. Fleuland) believe that he ever did so. These pearls were made at a patent manufactury for the purpose, at Paris, of which manufuctory Mr. Fleuland was the agent in this country, and he employed the prisoner, with many others under him. The articles from this manufactory were never intended to be offered as real pearls, but to be sold for what they really were, a beautiful specimen of imitation made from the scales of fish, chiefly those of the dace and roach, which are exported in vast quantities for the purpose to France from this country. Mr. Fleutand also stated, through his Solicitor, he himself not speaking English, that the only way in which he could account for the imposition practise4 upon Mr. Charoneaux, the pawnbroker by whom the complaint was made, was, that a short time ago, he ( Mr.Fleeland) made apresent of two or three of those necklaces to a female of his acquaintance, not being things of any great value, only worth about 15e. each, and he supposed it must have been this female who had sent some per. son to pledge them as real pearls ; but he could not tell who the female was, or where she was now to be found. It was quite im possible, he said, that Mr. Blasco could be guilty of such an act,' as he had received the highest character of bin before he employed him. Mr. Charoneaux maid, that although his man could not swear post. tively to the prisoner, he understood the shopman of Mr. Norman, the pawnbroker. Princes-street, Soho, could. Mr. Norman's thopman was accordingly sent for, and he pro duced two necklaces similar to Mr. Charonesux's, containing sixty pearls, which were brought to Mr. Norman's shop by the prisoner. who asked for them at the rate of Ls. each pearl, as a loan ; and this siren, amounting to 151. was advanced to him. Witness directly asked him if they were real pearl, and he replied that they were. Ile had not the slightest doubt of the prisoner being the person who pledged them. The prisoner, notwithstanding this positive evidence, still denied that he was the person; but the faith of his friend Mr. Fleuland seemed to be considerably shaken, and he proposed, through his solicitor, that rather than the case should he further proceeded with, Mr. Norman and Mr, Charoneaux should both be remune rated for their loss. Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, said, that although the came was now most distinctly made out against the prisoner, yet as it was merely one of fraud, and not of felony, he Ohl not feel it necessary to press a prosecution, and would not object to the arrangement proposed, as the prosecutors were disposed to do so. The parties then retired, and Messrs. Norman and Charoneaux received a part of their money. and the remainder to be paid this day. The prisoner was then discharged. It is supposed that these frauds have been carried on to a consi. derable extent ; and such is the beautiful perfection that these imitation pearls are brought to, that many jewellers yesterday pre. sent at the Office declared, that nothing but the most experienced ' - eye could detect them. Mr. Norman's young man paid, that had they known them to bar imitation. they would not have lent any thing on them, or takeo them in at aIL -• . CHARGE OF BIGAMY. WORSAIP-STIEXT, AUGUST 16.—A young man, named Thomor who had been in the service of Mr. Christie, of Hackney-wick, aa groom and coachman, was brought before Mr. TWYTORD for final examination, on a charge. of Intermarrying with Sarah Horton, a, former wife being still alive. The eircum. stances. as detailed in evidence, were as follow : In May. 1820, the prisoner married a young woman named Martha Delay, in the parish of Newington-butts, who shortly after their marriage went into the service of a respectable trades man in St. Paul's Church-yard. and the prisoner himself after wards entered into the service of Air. Christie, where he became enamoured of his fellow-servant, Sarah Horton, and in August, I 11122, married her at the parish church of St. John, Hackney. Here he was frequently visited by his firm wife, between whom and i the second a sort of ntimacy commenced, but so artfully were matter,, conducted that each wife was uncomiciotta of the claim the other had to the perun.of the lord of her affections, and the result was, that each wife presented the doating husband with a living pledge of their love, and but a few weeks intervened between the bird) of the two children. In process of time the second wife, being deserted by her husband, became chargeable to the parish, and the prisoner vu taken into custody for the desertion, and brought before the Magistrate. The parish officers having then heard of his former marriage, he was remanded until this day, to give time for the production of evidence of the first marriage. This day the first marriage was proved by the evidence of a bmther-in-law, a subscribing witness, who swore to the person of the prisoner. Sarah Hinson domed, that on the 10th of August, 1822, eh, wan married to the prisoner, and produced the certificate of such marriage. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. This is the third ease of the same nature that has been brought to light in the same purish within the last few months through the wives having bees left chargeable to the parish. -------- Some persons lately found in a cavern in the forest of Spielietz, in Silesia, 6,000 ducats, coins of Flanders, dur ing the time Oat the country was subject to Spain. There were also ske ons of horses, and a quantity of arms of all descriptions. It is conjectured that this is one of the seats of the celcbrged Betret Tribunal. 'ECTS OP CLIACATE IN ITALY. •' country, where the light of day affords enjby where the evening presents still greater charms, Dash of night is in the highest degree interesting. al labour ceases, the promenade is deserted, the returns home to his family, and the day is defini ended. We Cimmerian' scarcely know what it is day-light. Enveloped as we are in an atmo fog and cloud, we feel really little difference y and night ; for how rarely are we blessed with . serene sky. Here, on the contrary, the day, consists of a distinct morning and evening, is all at succeeded by the night. Twenty-four hours have _leer course and a new series of twenty-four is begun. The bells are rung, the beads are counted, and the servant girl enters one's chamber with her lighted lamp and her usual greeting of felieissima notte ! This moment varies according to the seasons; and the people, who live in a ,tree and unrestrained manner, incur no risk of mistakes saspecting time, as their business and recreations are deter itsined, not by the clock, but by the natural division of the .day. To force an Italian to regulate his conduct in con- Serenity with a northern dial, would be to lead him into error. An hour, or an hour and a half before night the marriages begin to drive to the promenade. The grand place:of resort at Verona is the Bra, a fine broad street,' which leads to the Poi ta Nuova. When the night bell rings a new movement takes place. Some go to church,' tO repeat tile Ave Maria della sera ; the gentlemen approach the carriages and converse with the ladies; but the pedestrians generally continue their promenade till late in the night. The trades-people here seem to live in a strange kind of confusion. In some streets there appears to be no division between the different shops and stalls; there are no doors to the shops and warehouses; and their houses are entirely open in front, so that the passengers command a full view of the interior, and see all that is goi.lg on. Tailors, shoe makers, and other tradesmen carry on their business partly in the open street, which is half occupid with their tools and materials. Li the evening, when the shops are lighted up, the city has a most animated and chi et fa! eff2et. Market days in Verona are always full of bustle and activity. The market places are stocked with an incredible abundance of fruits and vegetables. The people are full of gayety and , spirits, singing and laughing tic whole of the ay. The genial climate, and the chespnt ss of provisions insures an easy life, even to the very poorest classes, who live almost in the open air. At night the bustle and gayety are resumed. The air of' Mar/brook resounds in every street, played either on the dulcimer or the violin. The chirping of birds is imitated on the fife and flageolet ; and the whole produces a most singular combination of sounds. The mild climate grants to poverty an exuberance of spirits, and the freedom which prevails.makes even the shadow of a nation appear respect able. To these habits, however, must be attributed the incon venience, incommodious arrangement, and the revolting —.fitness of the interior of the houses. The people seek all their enjoyments without doors, and consequently are indifferent to domestic comfort. They are content with little, and even the middling classes look for nothing more than to gain a subsistence from day to day. The nobility and persons of wealth shut themselves up in their resi dences, which, for every purpose of life, are far inferior to ours. When they invite a party of friends, they never as semble in their own houses, but in places of public en tertainment. The vestibules and porticos of the houses are the common receptacles of filth. All travellers are shocked at the state of the houses in the towns of Italy.—Goethe. ACCIDENT, IN CROSSING TrlF' f SANDS FROML LANCASTER TO I .1 i y 1 „ .. • .. ~ . , • a ~ . .

ULVERSTONE. On Saturday last the four-horsed stage-coach left Lan , easter for Ulverstonc about three o'clock in the afternoon, the tide then serving for crossing the sands of the bay of Morecambe, which it is necessary to pass in order to save a circuitous route of nearly thirty miles. To thoseunac quainted with the locality of this part of Lancashire it may be proper to explain, that the Bay of Morecambe runs a considerable distance up the country, and at high water presents a large arm of the Irish sea. 'When the tide is out the sands are dry, and horses and carriages pass over from /lest Bank, on the Lancaster side, to Cark, a distance of ten miles, without any interruption but that arising from the necessity of fording the channels of two or three fresh water streams. These streams, which run with consi derable velocity when the tide is out, are provincially termed eaus by the Lountry people, but are in general passed both by horses, carts, and carriages, without incon venience. Guides are usually in attendance, and precede the passengers, sounding the channel with a long pole, to ascertain any alteration that may have been made by the shifting of the sands. The coach was loaded both with passengers and luggage, and, as is stated, rather too heavily on the top. On entering the eau, which is about half-way over the sands, the current was found unusually strong, the wind also blowing at the time extremely fresh. From these combined causes the horses moved forward with much difficulty, and when in the centre of the stream, the coach, with all its cargo, went over. happily the passengers all gained their footing, and after great efforts to preserve their lives, reached the bank. The coachman, with great pre sence of mind, set to work to release his horses, and suc ceeded in cutting the harness so as to extricate three of them, but his knife broke in his attempt to liberate the fourth, which, with the coach and luggage, was carried out to sea, and hitherto there have been no tidings of them. Behind the stage-coach a carriage with four horses followed, in which were two ladies, who, seeing the catastrophe that took place before them, uttered the most piercing screams for help ; the drivers, however, prudently kept on a steady course, and, though the current and the wind were so violent as .to threaten the most imminent danger to them all—the carriage not being loaded at the top was less exposed, and fortunately reached the opposite bank in safety. Accidents have in several instances happened in crossing these sands, but they generally originated, either in the ig norance or imprudence of the parties attempting to make the passage without guides, or at an improper state of the tide—but such an accident as this which we have related has never before happened. There is no remedy by any human art for the inconvenience of this passage, which, indeed, is considered so trifling, that country peo ple, who cross the sands weekly in market carts during their whole lives, would not easily be persuaded to increase their journey by a circuit of thirty miles, when the same point can be reached in ten miles by crossing the sands.— Evening Paper. As the Chester Mail was proceeding on its journey np. wards on Friday, and was within a very short distance of Wolseley Bridge, the horses took fright at a cart which had broken down, and lay near the bank to the right. The coach, in consequence, went with so considerable a velocity against the rails to the left, u to force them down, and it was precipitated, together with the horses, into the river below. Of two inside passengers, and two or three out, none sustained any material injury, all escaping with a a few slight bruises and a thorough drenching, except the guard, who, we regret to state, suffered very considerably. The coach and horses received no damage. After some delay, the journey was prosecuted as usual.—Stqlibrd Paper. Among other effects of the late extremely hot weather and sudden changes in the temperature, may be mentioned the prevalence of cholera morbus in some of the most healthy quarters of London. Persona who have been long resident in tropical climates are considered to be more ex posed to danger from this disease than others. Mr. Buck ingham, of the Regent's-park, who resided so long in India and travelled so much in various countries of the East, is now slowly recovering from one of the severest attacks of cholera ever experienced in this country, and equal in the violence of the spasmodic contractions to any thing met with in India. The particular predisposing causes are sup pesul to be bodily fatigue, mental anxiety, and a disregard of sudden checks of perspiration. In hot countries the bad effect of the checks is counteracted by the strong insensible perspiration always kept up, or by the general relaxation of the system. Persons recently from that country, there fore, since found to be so peculiarly exposed to danger from the influence of our sudden atmospheric changes, should, in adjusting their dress to the climate, consult health rather than their own feelings—a caution which may be useful to many who have returned, after long absence, eager to enjoy the refreshing brows of their na aye land. • .701172NEYMEN SHIPIVRICI7rr DINNER. The shipowners having at last conceded to the greater part of the demands 111140 by the journeymen shipwrights, the hater de. termined on celebrating their triumph b a premed= and dinner, at the Green Man Tavern. on Blackheath. Accordingly, Test ee d,, upwards of a thousand of them formed in a regular procession, an t i headed by a band of music, proceeded along % Kett-road, through Deptford, and so to Blackheath. Each ortheet had a blue cockad e in hie hat, and the whole assemblage presented a gay s p ectacle _ from the number of banners borne among them, containing e rn : blema and inscriptions having reference to the objects of their trade, and the intention of the Union into which they had formed them. selves. At the Green Man active preparations had been made for their reception, by the erection of a spacious booth id the gard en , , extending upwards of 300 feet in length, and about 00 feet in width. Along this five tables were spread, running parallel with each other the whole length of the booth. About halflast four the procession reached the Death, where they found immense crowds assembled to witness their arrival. Having taken their seats, the dinner, which was cold, was served up, and on t h e re. moval of the cloth , a number of appropriate toasts were given, and drank with most deafening applause. Up to the honr when our reporter left, the whole affair was going on with the utmost kr. mony and convivislity, nor did there appear reason to apprehend any event would occur to interrrupt the general good humour which then prevailed. COM ItIN.4TION. On Monday evening a numerous meeting of silk dyers took place at the Red Lion, Phcenix-street, Spitalfields, to take irve consideration the propriety of raising a subscription in aid of the Bradford wool-comber, and stuff-weavers, who ars at present out of employment, in consequence of a strike for an advance of wags". It appears that the Committee by whom their affair, are regulat e d have despatched delegates through all the manufacturing districts, to solicit the support of their fellow-workmen. One of those per. sone was present at the meeting, and gave a melancholy picture of the privations to which the people of Bradford were subject, bet expressed their determination to endure the utmost rather than return to work without the advance. Ile stated, that the master', in order to effect their principal object —a breaking up of th e " Union"—had endeavoured to enforce obedience from their re. fractoryieworkmen, by discharging the lives and children of there who were members of the Union, and in consequence 4,000 petals were thrown out of employment. A letter was read to the meeting, from which it appeared that one house in Bradford bad agreed to the advance, and 300 hands I had in consequence resumed their work. The utmost gratitule I was expressed for the liberal manner in which the unemployed per. sons had been supported b other work-people. A sum of 101. wan voted by the meeting, the members of which entered with euthusiam into the feelings of the deputy. LAMENTABLE SUICIDE. Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken before J. w, Earwig, T.q. and a respectable Jury, at the Black horse Ta. vern, Kingsland-road, on view of the body of James Houleg. Esq. a gentleman of high respectability, and at one time an officer of . rank ia his Majesty's Nary. After the Jury had viewed the deceased, who presented a most horrifying spectacle, his head being almost severed from hie body, and his left hand nearly amputated from his arm, the following extraordinary circumstances, as connected with this melancholy catastrophe, were given in evidence;_ Mr. Thomas Earthrop, a gentleman residing in King-street, Kingsland-road, stated, that on Sunday morning, about half.ps t e nine o'clock, he received an urgent message from Mrs. Hunt. the lady in whose house the deceased resided, requesting his immediate attendance, in compliance with which he 'forthwith proceeded to her residence. On his arrival there he found Mrs. Hunt, and the other members of the family, in an inexpressible state of alarm ; he inquired as to its cause, and they informed him that the deceased had locked himself up in the water-closet, that they could neither prevail upon him to answer or open the door, and that they apprehended he had committed some fatal act. Witness immediately burst open the door, on doing which, and on his entering, a most awful scene offered itself to his view : the de. ceased was lying on the floor, weltering in blood, his throat cut from car to car, and a blood stained razor tightly clasped in his right hand. 'Witness immediately ran the Mr. Holmes, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, and on his return with that gentleman they raiexl the deceased from the g roun d, an d f oun d hi m quite cold and inanimate. The witness, in conclusion, added, that from the clotted appearance of the blood, of which the floor was completely covered, the deceased must, in his opinion, have perpetrated .64 dreadful deed at least two or three hours previous to its discovery. Mrs. E. Hunt, who, in giving her testimony, betrayed the deepest anguish, stated, that about five months since the deceased came to .troard and lodge in her house ; on last Monday week be left home Immediately after breakfast, and did not return until four o'clock in the afternoon, when he appeared dreadfully agitated, and much de pressed in spirits ; he then asked her to lend him four or five pounds, which she refused doing, assigning as her reason, that at the time she had not so much cash in the house. On her refusal he again went out, and did not return till the following Thursday. After dinner on that day he informed her that he was married on the day before (Wednesday), and that he and his bride bad spent their nuptial day at Richmond. His wife was not then with him, as he said he had left her u nd er t h e protect i on of her friends; anal he expressed his intention of bringing her home that night. At the close of this conversation he left the house; but previous to doing so he ordered supper to be got ready at on early hour, sad suitable accommodation to be provided for the reception of Ain. Bottles. He did nor, however, return that evening, not did he make his appearance until the ensuing Saturday, at which time witness remonstrated with him on his breach of promise, in not re. turning on Thursday evening, particularly as she had been pat to inconvenience by making arrangements for his and his lady's re. ception. He appeared much depressed on her speaking to him, but readily admitted his error, at the same time observing, that it was not the only one he had committed. He then told her that ha was about going into the country, and that Mr. Gadsden would settle his account. Upon these words he left the house; and containing out about half en h our l ie returne d , and informed her that he had changed his mind, and that he was now determined to reside with her some time longer. On Saturday evening he brought home his bride, and on the evening of that day they dined together. After dinner both went into the garden and lawn, where they walked for some; his spirits were evidently much 'depressed, and-nov(lMb. standing every exertion on her part, and that of his wife, to revive them, they still manifested a deeper character of dejection. Hs and Mrs. Houle% retired to rest at half-past ten o'clock. At the hour of live in the morning the witness heard the back door open, and some person walk into the garden ; this did not surprise her, as the deceased had been in the habit of taking very early walks. About nine o'clock, witness finding it necessary to go to the water. closet, discovered that its door was fastened; she in consequence walked about the garden, in momentary expectation of the wage coming out. After waiting a considerable time, her patience at length became quite exhausted, anti she rapped several times st the door, but received no answer. This continued silents ,excited her alarm so much, that she thought it advisable to pro. ore the assistance of the last witness. In answer to some further interrogatories from the Coroner and Jurors, the witness said that she had been informed by Mrs. IRoules that the deceased had scarcely interchanged one single ',L iable with her during the preceding night. When she received him into her family he came furnished with excellent references both as to character and respectability He was most regular sod - gentlemanly both in his manners and habits. She never perceived ;anything extraordinary about him until last Monday week, when a very evident change took place in his dkmesnour. Several gentle. men of respectability were in the habit of visiting him. She had heard that at one period he had been an officer of rank in his -Majesty's Navy, and that some embarrassments he laboured under were attributable to a dispute with some of the members of his 'family. The deceased was about sixty, and his wife twenty.foar years of age. The Coroner recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, they imme :diatelv returned a Verdict of Suicide, committed by Ms de. ceased, while under the influence of mental ' derangement." From the severe wound on the wrist, it is natural to Meow that this unfortunate gentleman contemplated bleeding himself to death; but that not finding his mode of accomplishing his ohjcct efficiently P-- lie his " scat alb expeditious, _ drew the razor across dui" The union between the deceased and his ill-fated bride wu the re sult of a long attachment. She is, as we are informed, the dsegh• ter of most respectable parents, but, possessing no m o re of this world's goods than an amiable disposition and personal charms of the first order, an alliance with the deceased was di•plesaing to" family, and was, it 'amid, the cause of the difference which es isted between them.
