The defence set up for Mr. Ward was, that he was no party to this transaction ; liat his partnership with !lie other Defendants hail ceased at the time the bill was drawn; and that this was a mere accommodation bull for the benefit of Chatteris, with which he had nothing to do. Fur Mr. G. B. Man wiring the defeuce was neatly the same; but in ad dition it was urged, that his bankruptcy bad dis solved the partnership,' and that his creditors bad afterwards executed a composition deed, by which he vise released from all partnership as well as separate liabilities, in consideration of his paying los. in the pound, which was in fact !odd in discharge of all his debts; and, consequently, that-he was not liable in this action. Evidence was adduced to shew that the Foxhill Pipe Company had been dissolved after the bill bore date, and that the Plaiutiffs' bankrupts must have knowu it at the time they discounted the bill. For the Plaintiffs. it was urged, that the bankrupts were bona fide holders for valuable consideration, and that they knew nothing of the parties to the bill but what appeared upon the race of it.

Miss Self married the Defendant ; sad, as Mr. Allen had continued Isis friend ship for he►, he by ber marriage became the friend of her husbind. Some time after her merrier, Mrs. Sallivao's health began to decline, sad a change of air •od scene was recommended, and Mr. Allen, haying a house by the water side, Milted Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan to spend some lime at it. The invitation was accepted, and it was agreed that they should go to Mr. Allen's house on the 25th of April. The day before Mr. Allen wrote • note to Mr %Menu, in %hie!' he meutiosed that he would call on him and Mrs. S. the arxt morning, to lake them to his house.

Witness retorted the expression, and the Defeatism instantly kaockeJ hint dowo, and Week him several blows about the head so •inlent that he thought his jaw was broke; his ear swelled as thick as bis hand, sad he could scarcely open his mouth to take food for some weeks after. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLICY—He look away the Dr fecdant's wife nod I ropes ty in the coach. lie struck De fendant several times , trot not till be was struck by him. He did out raise his arm to remit the Defendant's taking his wife (turn him. There was none of the propetty is the coach put into it by him. John Chapel a xamined.—The Defendant and Mrs. Sullivan lodged in his (witness's) father's house in Piccadilly. Mr. A 11.,, visited them—not often. Hews. there on the 24t11 of Apiil, when be and lb* Defendant appeared very friendly, an:t shook hands at parting. Mr. Allen said, he would be with him (the Defendant) in the morning. The Defendant said, "Very well." Mr. Alien came next rooming in swath, with an eldcily lady. Mrs. Sullivan and the lady put seve ral things in the coach. .Mrs. Sullivan went into the back parlour to lake leave of the wituess's mother. Mr. Allen stood in the shop. At that moment the Defendant came home, passed through the shop, and went up stairs. Mr. Al len bid the Defendant good morning as he passed through the shop, but the Defendant did not speak to him. Mr. Allen followed the Defendant up stairs, and they soon returned Into the shop together. Mr. Allen said to the Defendant, It was strange that after he had agreed to go to his house with Mrs. floill•nii he should now object to it. The Defen dant said he never agreed to it. Mr. Allen said he bad; the Defendant called him a liar. Mrs. Sullivan came into the shop, and Mr. Alli n offered bee bin baud. The Defendant said tio man should lay hands ou his wife, and knocked Mr. Allen down and heat him very much. Wilms! said he onus, derist, and the Defendant went up stairs. Mr. Allen sad Mrs. Sullivan gut into the coach soul drove off. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—Did you not hear the De. fentlant say, that the reason he would not let his wife go with Mr. Allen way, that he had sees him kiss her the night be fore?-.-Mr. Allen stood up and declared, in the most solemn manner, that lie had not kissed Mrs. Sullivan, nor had the Defendant imputed it to him. The witness's cross examination proceeded.—The Defeo. - dant, after much bad language between him and Mr. Allen, said his wife might go where she pleased. Mr. Toulmiu, a surgeon, stated that he attendee! Mr. Allen after the 25:h of April. He r saw more serious bruises than be had on the side of his bead; his ear, cheek, and melt wort in • livid state. He had no doubt that blows less severe had often produced death. The case foe the prosecution closed here. Mr. Areal addressed the Jury for the Defendaat with great warn.rh. The prosecution was mi attempt to justify whit could not be justified—tahlog away the Derailleurs wife. IVas it to be endured that because a gentleman, le the fuluess of confidence, had nisi be would go and spend a week at the house°, a person be considered bis friend, that when be bad reason to ebasge his opinion of the hospitality offered him, he was still to see his wife taken away before his face by the man be could out trust. The Defendant said to the Prosecutor, " You shall not take away my wife," for that was the meaning of his declaration, " I will allow no man to lay bands on my wife." The Proseautor persist ed in taking her away, sod has kept her ever since, and now seeks to punish a husband for opposing his wishes by the protection of bis.owu wife. "Had I," said Mr. Alley, "been guilty of the disgnici ful conduct of taking away a man's wife, I would for ever eedearoat to hide my head in the thickest darkness, instead of comic; into Court to make • complaint of her outraged husband, because he had cedes mimed to protect her." There were no witnesses called for the defence, and the Chairman briefly cherged the Jury that if they believed the evidence, which there appeared no reason to doubt, they 111011 find the Defendant Tie Jury, after a short ltallea, returned a verdict of Guilty. After the verdict of the Jnry was pronounced, Mr. ADOL rill'n said, he had no wish to offer any observation for the purpose of in fl uencing its effect, but be thought it • duly to his clieni to say, as he was enabled to do on the *wheat, of his oath, that the imputatious which Mr. Alley had been in structed to cast on the honour of the Defendant's wife and the Prosecutor, were utterly false mod groundless. The CIIAIRMAIII, after some consultation on tbelletsch, addressed the Defendant. He bail been fowled guilty of a most violent meson, which, it WS' the opiuios of the Bench, the eirenmsta nee, of the case did not justify; the judgment of the Court therefore was, that he should pay a flue orb!. to the King.

This was the . perjury assigned to Mr. Granger, sad the learned Gentle. mao called a number of witnesses to establish Isis case. _ _ - - Mr. ADOLPIFIVI addrentd the Jury for the Defendant, and called witnrsees, sho proved nothing material, excepting that Joyce, the Prosecutor, had not 341 paid the richt mod the costs of the snit against him in the Palace Court, and that the Defendant was comldercd by them as a man of un blemished character.

The following paragraph, relative to the Aare which Mr. Sheriff' Anton had is the publication of the Clydesdale Journal, has been handed to as fur Insertion. One readers will perceive that it particularly refers to mbar fell from Mr. Abeterombic on that subject, in the House of Cumuseine, on Tuesday teasing last : (Greener* Adrertleer.) " We have been iuformed, that Mr. Altos was really ap plied to iu Spriog,lB2o, by the supporters of the ClF(letttale Journal, to become a contributor to that paper; and that the licentiousness of the radical press at that time, impelled him not only to see his judicial authority to keep down insurrec tion, but also his acknowledged facilities of writing to dim. sernioati miatiments utloyalty and sisbordioation. He exerted himself is this way fur two or three months, oatil it became evident that the mauia had subsided, when he, is a greet me.. sure, withdrew his assistance. Although this is the' very bead mad frost of his offenilieg,' we observe it stated in some papers, that he was the acknowledged author of many libels, and the wholmsale traducer of prirate character. This we believe not to be true—the troth is, after Mr. A. withdrew his aid, the manor - meat fell into other beads, some of them students and young lawyers, over whew he had no control, and many personalities were then Isles duced, some of which were pointed spinal hiwnelf and hie sous. It surely became hi. accuser is the House, at least to have read some of the grass libels of which he is said to bare been the author, and to have produced the MS. as a proof of the validity of the aaaertioe." THE LATE THUNDER AND LIGHTNIIVO. On Friday morning, between one and two o'clock, we were visited by thunder, lightning, and rain, the latter after two months drought. We would not denominate it a storm, as there was no wind, and the rain fell in gentle though copious streams; iudeed, had we not known that in these conflicts of the elements there is danger to man, we should hare contemplated the scene SA grnnd and solemnly in. Westing. Just before two o'clock, an apparent expire. doe took place in the atmosphere, and we observed a fire bolt, or elongated ball, descend, near to us, la the western horizon; which, providentially, did no injury, as it proved to have fallen into our harbour. Corronestions of light, resembling pointid arrows, attended its descent, with a tremendous peal of thunder, which shook the window. „frames of th• near houses equal to the ecouinasion when the air is agitated by firing a 30. pounder gun; a line of blue- Veined-red atmosphere crossed its pat b, :tad • very strung Mil *envoi smell woe emitted. The water spouted up 10 or 11 feet when the bolt fell ia. About this lime the lightning struck the main-topmast of his Majesty's guard-ship Albion, lying iu the harbour, which splirdeeed it, and, it is expected to , prove, the maiunsast also. The electric fluid struck the flag. staff betweeo the topmost cap and crou.trees, and de scended to the quarter-deck, but where it escaped thence no one knows, owing to the very great glare caused by the sudden flash of lightaiug. The main-top-mast is render ed untervieieahle. The effects on the main mast cannot be viscertaiued until it is taken to pieces ; bat, from a slight fracture on the opposite side,: where the Rails which confined some lead round the partners were forced out, it appears to bare passed through the heart of the mast. The officers compare the stroke to several of the gems being discharged at the saute moment. The ship mud be hauled along-side the sheer-hulk, to ascertain all the injury done. The rain continued several boors, and has again fallen in a steady fructifying course, nearly the whole of this day, whirl, most prove of great benefit to the corps.—( Portsmouth Paper.)
