attention; were continued to the officers on landing; tv.-o of the crew kept strict charge of the luggage, whilst two others posted off to the Mayor to give him positive information that Stephenson and Lloyd were then within his grasp. Whatever doubt they might have had on the subject in the first iststance, all uncertainty was removed from their minds, when Bishop begged to be sliewn to that inn where he would be most Ii!:ely to get a post-chaise or. to Fal mouth. They brought the officers to an urn, but a knowing lnek from one of the boatmen prevented Bishop getting an answer respecting a post-chaise. In a few minutes the suspicions of the boatmen in fected every person in the house, and measures were taken to prevent the escape of the offenders, and to Secure the reward of 1,000/. The Mayor was by no means deficient in energy man this momentous occasion ; he sent instantly for the Solicitor of the Corporation. The Solicitor re commended, that in addition to the civil power, they should procur e a reinforcement from the Coast Bloc kade Service. This was readily granted. The inn - and,all the avenues to it were well guarded; cen tinels were posted in all directions, and a large force, headed by a respectable gentleman (a banker, Ste t believ e ), entere d t h e i nn. Meanwhile, Bishop and Leadbitter were comforting themselves with some lerondy and water, little dreaming of the worll of trouble that they were giving the good people of St. Ives. At length a gentle knock was heard at the door, and after the usual invitation to " come in," an elderly gentleman shewed a very grave and important face. " I understand, gentlemen," said he, " that ye want a post chaise on to Falmouth," "We was Bishop's answer, " and a precious long time they are without letting us know whe ther we can have it." "I am afraid." said the old gentleman, " that you cannot get a chaise ; indeed we have no means of travelling here except by Paddle horses." Bishop gave him to understand that he and his friend had some luggage of considerable value, and that saddle horses were therefore out of the question. On the mention of the luggage the eyes of the old gentleman traversed the room, expecting, no doubt, to light upon the treasure of Stephenson. Their eyes rested on two portmanteaus, and during the remainder of the interview the old gentleman's at tention was divided between the portmanteaus and their owner=. It is scarcely necessary to say, that the object of the visit was suspected by the officers. Leadbitter, on the first appearance of the gentle man, backed as he was by several others who re mained a short distance from him, saw what they were at ; he and Bishop exchanged looks—they re frained with the utmost difficulty from laughing, and Leadbitter, turning towards the door, expressed astonishment that the mere circumstance of two persona arriving at an inn and ordering a postchaise should call together such a number of gentlemen. The whole party now pressed forward ; there was eviliently a hesitation as to Ns hieh should formally announce their object ; one, after a short pause, and with a eolemnity beeoming the capture rf Row land Stephenson, The fact is, Gentlemen, we have great pain in informing ye, from the very sus picious circumstances under which ve landed here this evening, we have good reason for thinking eat ye are Mr. Rowland Stephenson and Mr. Lloyd. We have received positive information that they embarked some days since in a Pill boat, and we are assured that ye arrived here this night in a boat belonging to Pill. Our duty is a very disagreeable one: but it requires that we should conduct ve before the - Mayor." This was too mech for the officers to endure, and just as violent hands were being laid on them, a loud laugh burst from both ; the canters were thunderstruck. " Make yourselves quite easy, gentlemen," said Bishop, " I think that my friend and I are mcre likely •to overtake Mr. Stephenson than you are; and if you are really desirous that no delay should take place in the pursuit, pray use your influence in getting us a chaise. We are Bow-street Officers." " The devil they are," exclaimed a voce ' in the crowd—fer crowd there actually was about the room door; among others the Mayor's son was there—he instantly poated off to give notice 'o his father of the ludicrous termination of his well ar ranged plan for the certain capture of Stephenson. He found the Mayor in tremulous expectation of the arrival of the cr:minal. Every thing was prepared for his reception, and even several of the Mayor's friends had been speedily invited to be present on the interesting occasion. The disappointment was great, but still all joined heartily at the mistake, ex cept the poor boatmen, who were to hava bad the large reward. Every attentioe and assistance were given to the officers, and Bishop and Leadbitter shortly after started for Falmouth. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of Monday.) ANcoNA, DEC. 30.--A Russian Courier has ar rived in this port, coming from the fleet in the Me diterranean, and proceeded - on his way to St. Peters hur4h ; at the same time an English Courier em barked for Corfu. The Plenipotentiaries for the Anirs of Greece must by this time have left Poros for Naples, where they will remain for some time, end then return to Greece. It is, however, thought possible, that after some weeks' stay at Naples, Mr. Stratford Canning may return to Corfu. Notwithstanding the bad weather at this season of the year great activity is observed in the English fleet in the Mediterranear, and every thing indicates that important events are at hand. y It is said thet a North American squadron will appear in the Archi pelago next spring ; a circumstance which gives rise to all sorts of reasonings and political conjectures. The English who trade in the Levant, end especially those who are ready to freight vessels, are alarmed' at these reports. It would not be at all improbable that the Porte should concede great commercial ad vantages to the United States of North America, that they might assist it in their contest with the Greeks. These Englishmen, who are so much it:- terested in the preservation of the most perfect harmony between their nation and the Turks, long for the return of the Plenipotentiaries to Constantinople. The French have philanthropic views, and .cannot persuade themselves that the most powerful free State in the New World can consent to assist, with its naval force, in the oppres sion of a Christian nation, even though that Stare should derive the greatest advantages from it. It seems very certain that the North Americans are seeking greatly to extend their commerce in the Archipelago, and that. with this view they are nego ciating with the Porte, without interfering in any manner- with the affairs of Greece ; but it is not to be supposed that the policy of the United States of North America thinks of counteracting the projects of the three principal maritime Powers of Europe. Notwithstanding the declaration of the blockade of the Dardanelles, numerous cargoes of articles riot contraband continue to be sent from all the ports of Italy for Constantinople. ALEXANDRIA, NOV. 20.---(From a Commercial Letter.)—Some French transports have brought to this city the troops which composed the garrison of Patras ; 'he object of the Allies appears to he to occupy the Island of Candia. A very numerous European Te-e having assembled at Sudo, as if to invite the Turks to evacuate Candia, two French vessels sailed from Pcros, escorted by a French brig of war. These vessels had on board 300 Greek slaves redeemed from the Turks at the expense of the King of France. It has been discovered that there are at Cairo a great number of these unfortu nate people. TRIESTE, JAN. 7.--It is but now that the block ade of the Dardanelles begins. North winds of ex traordinary violence have also prevented for some time the arrival of vessels in the port of Trieste. The Gazette de France of Tuesday the 20th, contains no news. (From the Courrier Francais or Monday.) PARis, JAN. 19.-:-1t is affirmed that a Courier has been sent to Prince Polignac with proposals to enter into the Cabinet; that N. de 51artignue would LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1829. A Cabinet Council -is summoned to attend at the Foreign Office to-day at half-past three 1, o'cloc. It is now certain that the Duke of NoRTH. UMBERLAND !;e the New Lord Lieutecan. of Ireland. Mr. HusKissoN s entertaining a large party to-clay at his seat, Ea tham. Lord and Lady GRANVILLE will be among the distinguished guests. `T✓e are happy to add that the Right Hon Gentleman enjoys the best health. The most enlightened Viceroy that Ireland has ever known, who by the dignified impartiality of his Administration secured the affections of the Catholics, and extorted the esteem even of the Orangemen—whose munificence w a s un wearied, discriminating, and splendid—who threw more of heart and soul into his public conduct than any Lord Lieutenant had ever done before him—the Marquis of ANGLESEA, SO loved, so respected, so we may almost add, idolized, took his departure, from Dublin, on Monday last, amid the tears and blessirgs of the greatest concourse of people that had ever before assembled on the shores of Ireland. The scene was by all accounts unprecedented. A whole nation seemed concentrated into one vast mass, holding but one opinion, and inspired with but one feelinli. Even Sir HARCOURT LEES, the ten or of the Papists, the Coryphmus of the Orangemen, partook of the general emo tion, and presented his Excellency with an ad dress from the inhabitants of Kingstown, which was characterized, in an eminent degree, by courtesy, good feeling, and judgment. But, in fact, party spirit was wholly laid aside on this memorable occasion; for all classes, whether Papist or Brunswicl•:er, or Dissen ter, felt, that with the departure of their Viceroy, departed also a great share of their future peace and prosperity. Further comment on this subject is unnecessary—" when a whole nation," says SWIFT, " speaks out as one man, and responds with equal energy to one feeling : it must, as a matter of course, be right. Sects, facts, communities, may be wrong—an mows country never." The Prussian State Gazette of the 13th inst. contains the following account from Varna of the 23d December, which must put to rest the misgivings of those, who supposed that it had fallen into the hands of the Turks : BERLIN, JAS. Li. A Supplement to the Odessa Gazette contains the following extract of a letter from Varna of the 23d of December : Rear-Admiral Kumany has returned to us with two cannon and 100 prisoners, taken on the little island opposite to Sizeboti. The Turks at Burgas were much astonished at the appearance of our ships, and the Grand Vizier hastened to the spot. On the 18th of December see had divine service, and an ilitnination, on account of the completion of the repairs of the fortress. The Turks admire our work, and confess that the place is now more strongly fortified than it was when in their posses sion. In fact much has been done in the short time, for riot only the works destroyed during the siege have been restored, but new ones added. Bazartjik, Pi,ravadi, Gebudshy, and Duero, are also well forti fied, and able to sustain a siege. Yesterday two Lirre..?k Doctors from Shumla came to our outposts; they were in the service of Halil Pacha, who is now Seraskier in Shumla, Hussein Pacha having' gone to command the troops at Aidos. According to the account of the , e two p..-rsons, and of many Bulgarians who have come over to us, the Turks at Situmla di 2 in want of many things, and the mortality among the soldiers is very great. BRUSSEL, JAN. 17. The Chamber of Commerce at _Antwerp informs the merchants, that"by a decree of the Emperor of Brazil, of 21th September, a duty of 15 per cent. was from that date to be paid on all foreign goods and ►uerchandize imported into Brazil, without any distinction of importers. (The Brussels papers of 21st January contain no news.) The French Papers are barren of news of any particular moment. The sudden departure of the Prince de POLIGNAC for Paris, will cause a good deal of speculation, and his mission is no doubt of an important nature, relating either to the present posture of affairs in the East, or to the Secretaryship of the Foreign Department. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 15th con talus the following respecting the mission of M JAUTERT, VIENNA, JAN. 9, Some persons affirm that M. Jaubert, who passed through this city on the 10th Dec., on his way to Constantinople, is the bearer of proposals to the Porte, " to declare that he will negociate on the basis of the convention of 6th July 1827, and of the pro tocol of the conferences of 16th Nov. 1828," upon which the Ambassadors of England and France would immediately return to Constantinople. It is hoped that the Divan will accede to this proposal, in order to obtain the renewal which it has so long de sired of the diplomatic relations with those powers. It is said that Count Joseph Von Metternich, brother of the Prince Chancellor, is to be god-father to the young Prince, who was born the day before yesterday. VIENNA, JAN. 10.—Metalliques, 96 ; Bank Shares, 1110. Since the convulsion of credit which took place in 1825, every threatening cloud in the commercial atmosphere is viewed with alarm, and appears to the sensitive imaginations of mo= nied men to be fraught with tempests. A mer cantile community is no doubt subject to various perils and calamities ; and the fear of these is itself a serious evil. But when we consider the state of trade at present, we do not see any real foundation for alarm. The causes which occa sioned the mercantile calamities of 1825 have been already satisfactorily explained—they were the fruits of misplaced confidence ; and this again arose from the extraordinary abundance of capi tal ; in consequence of which, it was rashly lent to those who employed it in dashing adventures ; i:► which great part of it was irrecoverably lost. In the extensive ruin thence arishig consisted the mercantile distress of 1825. But we have nothing of this kind to dread at present—a slight scarcity of cash—a fall in the price of funded property—a moderate depression of the foreign exchanges—and an exportation of bullion, are the circumstances which have given rise to the present agitation. Now it is certain that money, like every other commodity, will occasionally fluctuate in its value. It will be scarcer at one time than at another; and although a great scarcity of cash is the never-failing accompani ment of all mercantile convulsions, yet it does not follow that every agitation in the money market, and every inconsiderable rise in the value of money, is the certain prelude to such calami ties ; these fluctuations are continually occurring. Money or capital varies in its value ; but these variations do not necessarily agitate the whole mercantile community ; and we see no reason therefore at present for the apprehension of fur ther evils. With regard to the depression of funded property, that is the certain consequence of a scarcity of cash, and exactly measures its extent. But the foreign exchanges, which are generally in favour of this country, have at pre sent turned against it ; these however being go verned by the course of trade, it may often hap pen that they are favourable at one time, and the reverse at another. But when the exchange with Hamburgh, for example, is unfavourable, this implies nothing more than that there is a greater demand in London for money—in Hamburg!), than in Hamburgh for money in London, and that bills in Hamburgh sell in consequence in London for a premium. Now there is nothing surely very alarming in this, nor do we hear that there is in Hamburgh or Paris any alarm when the exchange with London is against them, as it generally is. The exportation of bullion, as it is the necessary consequence of an unfavourable exchange, so it is its corrective ; an unfavourable exchange encourages exportation both of goods and of bullion ; r.nd it is by this means that it is brought back to par. It oscillates on both sides of this central point, according to the impulse which it receives from the course of commerce ; but it continually tends to it ) and because it hap pens not always to be on one side, because it happens sometimes to be unfavourable to this country, is there on this account the slightest around of alarm ? even though large exportations of bullion should take place ; is there any evil in this ? We export bullion as an article of trade when we have too much of it, just as we export any other commodity of which we have a surplus. But why should this occasion any alarm ? We have often before exported bullion to Europe, as well as to the East Indies ; nor did these remit tances ever produce the least alarm, or in any degree derange the course of trade ; and we do not see therefore how an inconsiderable exporta tion of specie should at present produce any ill consequences. There is no doubt, that where banks are esta blished for the circulation of paper, its own issue and depreciation will lead to an exportation of specie. But such an over• issue and deprecia tion can only take place where a bank, by the restriction of its cash payments, is closed against any return of its depreciated notes. At present, when the bank is obliged to pay its notes in specie, it is impossible that any over-issue, or any depreciation can take place, as the excess would be continually returned for specie ; if the notes were re-issued, they would be immediately returned, and the bank would be speedily ad monished of its error by a constant drain of its gold, and would thus remedy the evil by contracting its issues. The present unfavourable exchange cannot therefore arise from any over issue of paper. It must proceed from the state of trade; and is one of those occurrences which must frequently happen, and need occasion no alarm. That there is any thing unsound, as was the case in 1825, in the present state of our commerce, we do not believe ; and, in this case, the temporary agitation which has accidentally arisen from slight causes, will, we doubt not, speedily subside.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwzLra o' CLocr. The winding► up of the account has had the effect of causing the price of Consols to be higher for money than for account; they opened this morning at 86i for money, and 861 for account, since which they have declined i t per cent., and are now for money, and 86k for time ; Three per Cent. Reduced are 87i ; and Money stock con tinues scarce ; the Commissioners paid 861 for Consols. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds are now both at the same premium, 68 9. Notiting has occurred in the Foreign market to vary the uninteresting state in which it hae been for some time, and in the absence of business prices are nominally as stated below.

FRENCH THEATRE-ENGLISH OPERA Mx:E.—A comedy, by Marivaux, in three acts, entitled Le Jett d'Ainour a du Hazard, was performed last night at this theatre. It was throughout highly applauded by a full and fashionable house. La Porte, as Pasquin, the valet, was admirable. Messrs. Booth and Copeland the present She riffs of London and Aliddk..s , ex, have discovered a disposi tion to maintain the dignity of their office with becoming spienuour and hospitality, and have also given proof of their charitable feelings towards the unfortunate and dis tressed, by granting supplies of coals and clothing to the poor prisoners, with a liberality which has exceeded that of any of their predecessors.

This was a motion for a new trial. The caw had been tried before Lord Tcnterden, and a verdict of 50/. damages returned, the action being brought by a dyer against some persons who had made a distraint upon his property, and had thrown away a quantity of cochineal liquor, which was sworn to be worth 801. The defendant, however, now moved for a new trial on the ground that he was then in possession of evidente which would have contra dicted one of the plaintiff's witnesses, and have in fluenced the verdict, if he could have produced it at the last trial. The COURT refused to grant a new trial, observing that it was the duty of the defendant's attorney to have provided himself at the trial to have met all the points of the e:lse. COURT OF' COMMON PratAg. CRIM. CON.--PILFOLD V. BEET. Mr. COLERIDGE opened the pleadings in this case. It was an action to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, for criminal conversa tion with the plaintiff's wife; Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressed the :flirt for the plaintiff. In the present instance it would not be his duty to occupy their attention for any great length of time, but this was not because the case Was unimportant but rather because the case he had to lay before them was of such a nature, that it would be unnecessary to do more than merely to state to them the facts, in order to enable them to deal with it. The plaintiff and the defendant were both officers in the army, the former a Lieute nant in the 21st, and the latter a Captain in the 67th. The plaintiff married .a Miss Chapman in 1825, and she subsequently resided with him at the barracks at Sheerness. He was afterwards sent with a detachment of his regiment to Kew, where he was relieved by a detachment of the 67th, under the command of Captain Beet.— Frequent communications necessarily took place. and subsequently the defendant visited at the house of the plaintiff. The, plaintiff afterwards went to Paris, and while there it was that the criminal inter course took place. After his return his wife was taken dangerously ill, and believing herself to be at the point of death, she made a disclosure of her guilt. A challenge was in consequence sent to Captain Beet, but was withdrawn upon his posi tively denying the allegation. The plaintiff, how ever, had now the means of proof in his possession, and had accordingly brought his action. The Learned Sergeant then called the following evidence : William Blackman, the parish clerk of Wybering produced t he marriage registry of Alexander Pilfold and Elizabeth Chapman, on tile 21st of January, 1825. Mr. Hebbage proved the handwriting of the par ties to the registry. Thomas Davey--Knew Lieutenant Pilfold of the 67th. Was in his service in January, 1827. He was then stationed at Kew on detachment. His wife was with him. Witness knew them before at Sheerness and at Gosport, at which place he was with the regiment. There were many married officers in the regiment, and they visited occasionally. Knew Captain Beet, and he came to Kew with a detachment of the 21st. Captain Beet used to come to r. Pilfold's house. Three or four months after the arrival of Captain Beet Mr. Pilfold went to France. Mr. and Mrs. Pilfold lived very much to gether before then, and on the most affectionate terms. When he went away Mrs. Pilfold remained at Kew. They parted at Kew Bridge. She re ceived letters afterwards, wh:ch she delivered to Captain Beet to forward. Those letters were writ ten by Mr. Pilfold, and witness gave them to Capt. Beet by her order. Captain Beet then frequented the house more than usual. He used to knock at the door, ask for Mrs. Pilfold, and walk up stairs to the drawing-room. The girl's bed-room is next the drawing-room, and her own room over it. He used to come about four o'clock, and atop until eleven. Mrs. Pilfold had a cousin with her, a female about eleven years of age, and she was always when Capt. Beet was there ordered down stairs, or to bed after tea was over. She used to go to London every week after her return from Bath,. where she went for a short time. When Captain Beet was there witness received orders never to go up stairs without rapping or being called for. Had been sent out on messages, and on his return found the maid servant out. When she went to London Mr. Beet never called. After he went to Windsor to join his regi, ment he came to Kew again two or three times Witness left Mrs. Pilfold's service in Nov. 1827 She discharged witness until his master should re. turn. They had two children, both of whom died young. I took two persons to see Mrs. Pilfold. Cross-examined by Mr. BRouallAm.---I entered Captain Pilfold's service in Jan. 1827; I first saw Captain Beet when he came to Kew ; I was in the same detachment as Mr. Pilfold ; his detach ment went to WindEor, but Mr. Pilfold remained at Kew; this was about six weeks before Mr. Pilfold went to France ; I saw Capt. Best on the first day he arrived in Kew, and about a fortnight after I saw him with Mr. Pilfold on Kew-bridge; about six weeks after I saw him at Mr. Pilfold's house; Mrs. Pilfold went to London oftem, and sometimes staid two or three days ; it was before that she went to Bath, where she staid a fortnight ; Captain Best was constantly calling on her; that is to say, once, twice, or thrice a-week; I was an in-door servant ; they lived very friendly together ; they lodged first with Mrs. Kirby, and Mrs. Kirby lived about a month or two in the same house with them ; I do not know what made Mrs. Kirby go up stairs when Mr. and Mrs. Pilfold were locked in the room together. I do not recollect Mrs. Kirby say-il ing that she heard a scream, and that she was sure that my master was beating my mistress. Ido not recollect saying in reply, " Oh no, he is only giving her a bit of a pat." Such a thing tnight have often happened, and I not to recollect it. (A laugh.) I saw Mrs. Kirby yesterday, but I did no t tell her that if she gave her evidence for Mr. Pilfold, he would give her any money. I said nothing to her about giving her money, or about her giving her evidence. She said she did not know what she had to say ; she did not know what she had come for.— She did not turn me out of the room, nor did Mrs. Beet. I did not tell Mrs. Kirby that if she gave evidence against Mr. Pilfold he would have her into the custody of a constable. I did not say to Eliza beth Allen that Mr. Pilfold would do right to take Mrs. Kirby into custody. It was in this Court, and not at the King's Arms, and Mrs. Kirby or Mrs. Beet were not present. I used to sleep at the barracks at first, but Capt. Beet would not allow trie to sleep there any longer. This was before Mr. Pilfold went to France. I was charged with pawn ing some property of my master's, and taken into custody, but was let off on giving up the duplicates. Re-examined---Elizabeth Allen \va s the servant, and I told her that Mr. Pilfold ought to take Mrs. Kirby into custody for her scandalous talk. Elizabeth Allen--I lased to do needlework for Mrs. Pilfold, at Kew. I afterwards lived with 1 - er as a servant, and remained with her until November, but Mr. Pilfold was then in France. I knew Capt. Beet; after the return of Mrs. Pilfold from Bath he often called, and used to stay until hail-past eleven or twelve o'clock. She brought a little girl with her from Bath. This little girl used to spend the evening with Mrs. Pilfold, except when Capt. Beet was there, and on those occasions she spent the evening with me. I was told never to come into the room without knocking at the door when Capt. Beet was there. Mrs. Pilfold was often ab sent ; she used to go in the moining, and generally staid in town for a day or two. I have been at the King's Arms since Monday. Capt. Beet has called when Mrs. Pdford has been in London. By Mr. BROUGHAM—I was examined by the attorney for the plaintiff, and Davey was examined at the same time. I have not said that Davey and I gave a different account of what paed, but I have said that I frequently contradicted Davey. Charlotte Hodson—My father is a solicitor• at Bath. lam between eleven and twelve years olcU Mrs. Pilfold is my cousin; I remember her comiti on a visit to my father in the sunsmer of 1827; returned with her to Kew; I know Captain Beet' and I saw him about three days after our return' he used to come to the house often, and on those occasions I used to be sent to bed earlier than usual' or else to the kitchen ; I did not like this, but , did not cry about it ; I complained about it to the ser rants. ..... Lieutenant Beaufoy--I am in the 67th regiment; I occupied the next barrack to Mr. Pilfold at Sheer' ness; he and his wife appeared to me to be living together on the best terms; he lived in a retired manner, but some of the officers visited him ; thi s was in June, 1826 ; I was at Sheerness about five Months. Sarah Jones—l lived at the Angel Inn St. Cie; ment'a, as chamber-maid; I know Mr. Pilfold en° Mrs. Pilfold they came to the Angel Inn, St . Clement's, and remained therefor five days. About October, 1827, I saw a lady and gentleman in their bed-cotta at the Angel ; I took some water to then in their bed-room, The lady was Mrs. Pilfold, and the gentleman was Captain Beet. I saw him a fter' %yards at Winchester in cornp:my with the officers/ and immediately recognised him. They did not stop to breakfast; they had no luggage, and walked away. I wits surprised at Mrs. Pilfold's being thete with a gentleman who was not her husband, and I rernarke% upon it to the other servants. By Mr: BROUGIIAM—It was about the 12th 0 1 July that Mks arid Mrs. Pilfold came to the Angels and it was about the middle of October that she came with Captain Beet. I have once seen MO. Pilfold since at an eating house in Holborn. I have not seen Mr. Pilfold these two months. It was ie August that I saw Mrs. Pilfold at the eating-house; it Was in March last that I first told Mr. Pilfold of this tic&irrence. Wm. naitteto..-i was waiter at the Angel Inn in 1827. I remember Mr, and Mrs. Pilfold stop' ping there, and subsequently saw her there with Captain Beet ; they came on a Sunday evening, and went away the next morning; it occasioned a great deal of remark. John Lynd—l was a porter at the P..nth Hotel in 1827; I remember a lady and gentleman ;:ti4ling to the hotel and sleeping in No. 5. They had nd luggage.; they breakfasted there next morning; I was in an eating-house in Holborn, and saw two ladies there, but I cannot positively swear that one of them was the lady, but I believe she was; the gentleman was Captain Beet, to the best of my recollection. Cross-examined.—l was sent fur to the eating' house, and I saw one of Mr. Robarts' clerks there ; Mr. Roliarts is attorney for Mr. Pilfold. Davey recalled.--I was at the eating-house st the time in question, and Mrs. Pilfold was there. By Mr. BROUGHAM.--In Nov. 1827, I left M Pilfold, and I saw him in April following at Brent ford. Mrs. Wilson—l live in the Strand. I knot Mrs. Paoli' and her father. In October, 1821 Mrs. PiVold took lodgings at my house; she used to be backwards and forwards to Kew. Her bus' band was then in France. I remember her dressing for dinner one Sunday evening, and she said She would return about eleven that night. She did not return that night, but she came home the next morning to breakfast. I remember a gentleman calling there to deliver a note, but he did not leave the note. His coat was black, but rather shabby. I do not know that he was an officer. Mr. 13 ROUG HAM —What sort of an officer you can.. not say, whether a King's or a Sheriff 's officer P..-- (A laugh.) Witness--No. • She lived with me, on and oil, till her husband returned. Itrwas in October that she went out on the Sunday evening. She wanted a bed-room firsts and then said that it was for a gentleman. Mrs. Gale—l live in Craven-street, in the Strand. Capt. Beet lodged with me in October, 1827. t one evening expected him home, and sat up till font ; o'clock for him, but he did not came home until next morning to breakfast. I believe this was on a Sunday night, and in October. Hannah Chambers—l lived with Mrs. Gale in October, 1827. Capt. Beet slept out one night in Oct. He came home the next morning, and said that he had made a mistake, and gone to the wrong house. (A laugh.) It was on a Sunday night. Mr. Hebbage recalled--I know Mr. Pilford since his infancy. In March last year he was in a dread ful state, and suspecting that he was about to have a hostile meeting with — Captain Beet, I went to Windsor, and . saw Captain Beet, who denied the charge of adultery with Mrs. Pilfold. I then uw Mr. Pi (fold, and he gave further particulars in writ ing, which I shelved to Captain Beet. He again totally denied the charge. I then suggested the propriety of his writing a refutation before witnesses. He did so, and no hostile meeting in consequence took place. By Mr. BROUGHAM—I was the means of pre venting this meeting. Mr. Pilfold was then living in Harrison-street, Gray's Inn-road. I stated that it was from Mrs. PiHold herself that Mr. Pilfold had had part of the statement. She was very ill, and made a. confession, thinking herself about to die. I wrote a letter to Captain Brady. who was to have been the friend of Mr. Pilfold. Lieutenant Hanna—l am a Lieutenant in the Army, and am married. My wife visited Mrs. Pi{fold, when they lived at Sheerness, and I did also. They appeared to live happily together. Mr. Dailey—l am a medical man. In the spring of 18 4 8 I lived in Harrison-street, and attended Mrs. Pilford in her illness. She was in a very de licate state of health, and apprehended that she would die. She went to Stamford Hill, to the house of a Mrs. Wilson, and Mr. Pilfold has since then been living with me. Mrs. Pilfold has not been living with him since. By Mr:Brougham—She was very ill in February and March. I attended her after she went to Stam ford Hill, which I think was late in Mardi; I do not think it was in April, but the first time I saw her was in April. Re-examined—She was removed as soon as it was possible to do so. Mary Elizabeth Welch—l lived in Harrison street, at No. 12. Mr. and Mrs. Pilfold lodged there. They left on ths! Bth of April. Mrs. Pil fold was very ill. Mr. Pilfold did not sleep with her during her illness, nor ever afterwards while they remained in the house. He slept on a sofa in the drawing-room. Mrs. Pilfold has been there often since, and Mr. Pilfold has been with her every time. Mrs. Pilfold used to come, and Mr. Pilfold used then to be sent for at her desire. Mrs. Pilfold used to stop an how• or more. The 20th of April was the first time they were there together, and the last time was in May. While they re mained in the house there was no want of kindness on his part towards her. Archibald Macdonnell—l am a medical man, and attended Mrs. Pilfold after Mr. Dailey. She was very ill, and considered herself in danger. I consi dered her also in danger. Mrs. Da!!cy—l am the wife of Mr. Dailey, the surgeon. Mr. Pilfold has been for some time living at our house. I went to Mrs. Pilfold to Stamford Hill. A lodging was taken for her in Staffordshire, and I went with her in July. She came to my house and remained a few hours, after which she went to Staffordshire. Mr. Pilfold then came to our house, and has been living there since. He came after she was gone. This closed the case for the plaintiff. Mr. BRoueinAm now addressed the Jury for the defendant, and requested the most partieukr atten tion of the Jury to the case. He set out, in or der to save time, by at once admitting the fact of adultery. There were, however, in this case, none of the ordinary circumstances of aggravation. There was nothing to excite the feelings : there were no children abandoned—the lady was not seduced, if seduced at all—after a long process of art--after great resistance on her part--after long difficulty, and virtue hardly purchased. No long siege was re quisite, according to what had been proved. On thus form a new Ministry, which would exclude MM. Vatismenil, Portalis, &c., one in consequence of his circulars in favour of public instruction, and the other in consequence of his ordinance relating to the petits seminaires. All this is not credible at the eve of a Session, during which, it will be necessary to prepare, at great :expence, Projects of Laws, a Budget, &c. And besides, a Minister of the Con gregation more on the right side at the moment when the partial elections which are now going on in dif ferent parts of France, give results so directly con trary to the opinions which are represented by that fraction of the Cabinet. We must then erase from the Constitutional vocabulary the axiom—that a Representative Government is the Government of opinion.
