• the contrary, the evidence was all the other way. bates were every thing ix this case. M rs . Pilfold did not e ven k now th e ' defendant until a fortnight before her husband went to France ; and yet, immediately on his departure he visits there, and remainsrn until 11 or 12 o ' c l oc k a t n i g ht w ith h er . The Learned Counsel then commented upon the absence of all evidence as to the terms upon which !he plaintiff and his wife lived together prior to the i ntroduction of the defendant, and contended that 'in such cases that fact was never assumed. Indeed the evidence cast a thick cloud of suspicion over the 'whole rase, and suspicion of more kinds that one. But the most suspicious parts were these. How tame Mrs. Pilfold to be at the eating-house in Hol born ? mad how came the plaintiff's attorney to kirow that she was there ? Was it not most ex trauldinary that Mrs. Pilfold should go to the Angel Mtn with Captain Beet, when she must have known that every person at that inn must recognise her as the wife of Pilfold ? Which of them proposed going there It could not be told ; but, presuming /host favourably that it was the gentleman, was it riot surprising that she did not immediately exclaim, " Goat God, do not let us go there; every body there knows me, for it is only a f ew wee k s s i nce I lived there with Pilfold ?" Was it not, he would usk, with a view to affording evidence to enable an . actitin to be bro ug ht i . n d a di vorce to be °b lamed, with damages, if they could get them from apt. Beet ? Couple this with her subsequent con fession during her illness, if she was ill, and with the conduct of both parties afterwards; he knows of her guilt in March, yet he remains in the same house with her, arid on the best terms, until April, though, on account of her health, they do not sleep together; after the pretended separation takes place, he again sees her several times ut Harrison street, and it could only be from her communications . that his a tt orney cou ld have met with her eating-h ouse , or t h at h e could at all hay: et the Case that h e h a d ma d e out.

It wou ld, h owever, perhaps, be going too far to come to such a conclusion, suspicious as the case appeared to he. The Learned Judge coin ;ll,ented at great l engt h on the whole case, and then left it in the hands of the Jury. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages lop/. COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY. A Court of Common Council was held this morning for the despatch of business. The Lord Mayor took the chair precisely at twelve o'clock.— The Court was very numerously attended. The Court, after hearing reports from the London bridge and other Committees, appointed new Com mittees for the ensuing year. Several Members took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH FOR FORGERY. Mr. P AVELL sa id h e rose for the purpose of giv- Ing notice that it was his intention on the next Court -day, to bring under the consideration of the Court a most important subject, a subject which had at all times much interested the country, but particularly so of late, he meant the punishment of death for the crime of forger:-„ (hear, hear). He brought the same subject forward ten years since, When it was fully discussed, and an alteration in the law was then thought necessary, but the question was allowed to slumber; he was, how ever, happy now to say (from what he thought good a uthority), that this important subject was at the Present time under the consideration of the Home Se cretary of State and Sir James Mackintosh, who were convinced of the necessity of some altsrations pub}e law. H e th ere f ore t h oug h t t h at Court ought cly to exp ress t h e i r sent i ments as to such ne cessity existing. Mr. PAVELL then gave notice of a motion in the usual form, for the next Court day. Mr. Dixon presented a petition from the Inha• wtant s of •Brideweil precinct, respecting ward rates, Which was under discussion when our Reporter left.

Mr. ROPER seconded the resolution. Mr. ADDIS in support of it said, that he thought they were bound to submit to conditions that did not compromise their honour, or infringe on the principles of their religion : (Hisses, and cries of we tY.) Yesterday a Gencial "Ahn..tirs! ef the Mernigers of the above Association was hc1:1 at the Free masons' Tavern ; porsttant to a Rrquisition signed by the Secretary. WHEBLE, Esq., in ti.e. Chair. The circumstances which gave rise to this Meet ing were as follow :—At the last General Meet= ing, the Duke of Norfolk, and other distinguished Catholics, expressed their consent to accept of emancipation, accompanied with securities. This concession gave offence to the Irish Association, who at their next Meeting commented on the con duct of the Noble Duke and his colleagues in no measured terms, which drew from Mr. Blount, the Secretary to the English Association, the following letter : Mr. STAPLETON was not such a visionary as to contemplate the probability of unconditional eman cipation. The Government could not be expected to grant emancipation without some securities.— (Groans and hisses.) He was willing to retract his former declaration, and if Ministers offered emanci pation accompanied with securities, he would, cap in head, accept if with thankful humbleness. (Cries of turn him out—he is an apostate.) He concluded by moving as an amendment, " That this Special Meeting of the British Catholic Association having been convened by requisition, solely for the purpose of taking into consideration the Resolution of the Irish Catholic Association respecting Mr. Blount's ex pressed sentiments upon the question of conditions—Re solved, that these sentiments have our entire approbation ; and that this Association feels deeply indebted to that Gen tleman • for the many valuable services which he hay ren- • dered to the Catholic Body." Mr. WITHAN seconded the amendment. " London, Nov. 18, 1828. " My dear Friend—The indispensable duty devolves on rue, as Secretary to the Beitish Catholic Association, of applying to you, as Agent to the Irish Catholics, to know tinder what strange misconception of circumstances it is, that the cunduet of the British Catholic Association has been so severely animadverted upon at a recent Meeting of the Association in Dublin. " You have viewed our conduct closely ; you have been in intimate connection with us, and you can best say whether we leave merited ace particle of those severe im plications that have been profusely lavished upon us. " If it be blameable to hold that it is inexpedient to re ject all conditions before any are tendered, in so far we plead guilty—and from those who differ with us we claim a right which we most willingly cancede—that of enjoying our opinion. " In union ) not only with every member of the British Association, but with every friend to the liberties of man kind, I beg to express an anxious hope that no difference may arise between us to weaken our united exertions in a common cause against a common enemy. " I am, my dear Friend, much your's, " EDWARD BLOUNT. " To Eneas Macdonnell, Esq." Upon the receipt of this letter, the Lisp Asso ciation again wet, and came to the following Reso- lution : " That Mr. 2Eneas Macdonnell do take measures to have the question of Conditions brought before the Catholic As sociation of England ; and if that body should not reject the sentiments expressed by their Secretary, Mr. Blount, on that subject, that he do cease all intercourse with them as our agent. "MICHAEL COPPINGER, Chairman. " EDWARD DWYER, Sec. Irish Cath. Association." The above Resolution having been forwarded to Mr. Blount, he convened a meeting of the British Catholics upon the subject. The business of the day commenced with Mr. Blount's reading the re quisition; after which, he requested that gentlemen would confine themselves to the object for whi c h they had been c a ll e d together. Although, on gene ral principles, he was an advocate of free discussion, yet, on the present occasion, he trusted that none but members of the British Catholic Association would attempt to address the meeting. (Hear.) Mr. i-ENEas MACDONNELL then rose, and was re ceived with loud cheers. He was placed in a peculiar situation, and would therefore state the very peculiar circumstances which placed him in so pro minent a situation before them. In the first place he would tell a plain unvarnished tale of all the pro ceedings that had taken place since he last addressed them, not vilifying those who took one side of the question, or justifying those on the other, and if he were wrong in any statement he made, he was most anxious to be set right. One fact was not to be denied, that the question of conditions or securities had been heard, he knew not from whence (for it had never been stated), which hat.Uembarrassed the whole Catholic body. For the last twenty years that question had been under the review of the Ca tholics of Ireland, and the Catholic prelates and laity had with one accord pronounced against them. A Cabinet Council was held at half-past three All classes had decided their opinions to be adverse o'cloCk yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, Down to such : measures.

The public are respectfully informed that Henry Calvely Cotton, Esq. James Walthall Hammond, Esq. William Sprout, Esq. Edward Kent, Esq. Mr. Richard Lever sage, and Mr. James Broadhurst, are appointed a Com mittee for the Hunrl;•ed of Nantwich, to obtain signatures to the Address to the King, and Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, against granting further concessions to the Roman Catholics ; and that such Committee will shortly wait upon the inhabitants of Nantwich for their signa tures accordingly. Nantwich, Jan. 9, 1829. N. B.—The first of these worthies is uncle to Lord Cornbermere without an acre in the county ; he is nearly a hundred years old. The second is a very young man, son of a respectable surgeon in Birmingham. The rest are tradesmen in Nantwich. They have canvassed the town twice for signatures, assuring their dupes that " if the Catholics are emancipated they will all be massacred." They have met with most success among the elderly fe males,—probably because such respectable specimens of the antique recognize in them a congenial order of intellect. tiEPARTVIIE of the tOltro LIEUTENANT. (Frem the Times.) "Dublin, Monday Evening. " At an early hour this morning the streets were crowded with persons anxious to manifest their respect for a Lord Lieutenant who had, under very peculiar and embarrassing eLcutnstances, gained the affections of the Irish people, and who was now de parting from them (as they felt at least), because the grounds of that popularity were deemed incon sistent with the policy upon which the Duke of Wel lington endeavours to promote the peace and pros perity of this portion o f hi s Majesty's subjects. " The Lord Lieutenant feels the blow which has been struck at him by his Majesty's Government the more strongly, because it has, at the most criti cal moment of his administration of Irish affairs, broken up the conciliatory and pacific policy upon which alone his Excellency found it pAsible to con duct his government with safety to the kingdom. He has therefore, at the presentStion of the Ad dresses which both yesterday and this day poured into the Castle from all parts of the country, evinced a sympathy and sensibility, which have still more endeared him to the people. He divested himself of all state ceremony,--he received the gentlemen from the country, just as they arrived, in their tra velling habiliments : his answers to some of them (the Cork in particular) were extemporaneous, and marked equally by strong feeling, and propriety of expression. " This morning he held an Untlress levee, which was excessively crowded. The citizens of Dublin first presented themselves at the Castle at ten o'clock with the address, which was prepared by persons of all ranks and religious persuasions, to testify their respect for the Lord Lieutenant, and their deep regret upon his departure. In the crowd which thronged in the avenues of the Castle, were a number of military officers in full uniform, who ap peared extremely anxious to press on with the civic cortege, to pay their respects to so distinguished and gallant a member of their profession. " Upon entering the drawing-room, his Excel lency received them standing in front of a semi-circle of official dignitaries. On his right stood the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Francis L. Gower ; next them was Lord Plunkett, the Lord Chief Justice Bushe, the other Judges, the Attorney and Solicitor Gene rals ; but the whisper went round, where is Mr. Serjeant Lefroy ? Does not his loyalty extend to pay this mark oircspect to the representative of Ma jesty in Ireland ?"I'he Marquis of Anglerea was dressed in a blue frock coat and white trousers, and in the most gracious manner received the deputation, which cons►sted of the following noblemen and gentlemen : Duke of Leinster Earl of Milltoun Earl of Howth Earl of Portarlington Earl of Glengall Earl of Bective Earl of Landaff Viscount Clements Lord Cloncurry Lord Clanmorris Lord Riversdale Lord Rossmore Hon. Mr. Preston Thos. Wyse of Waterford Wm. S. Tighe, of Wicklow Colonel Westenra Mr. Richard Shiel Peter V. Hoinrighe, M. P. John Power, of Kilfane W. Tuite, M. P. Daniel O'Connell, M. P.

Esnionde H. Arabin, Esq. Sir Chas. Style Peirce Mahony, Eiri. Sir Chas. Morgan Colonel Morris Sir E. Nugent, Alderman And. Ennis, Esq. Charles Brownlow, Esq. Michael O'Brien, Esq. J. D. Napper, Esq. James Sinclair, Esq. Major O'Grady Rich Napier, Esq. Hon. David Plunkett Dennis O'Conor, Esq. " The Lord-Lieutenant immediately delivered the following answer to the address, which was read by the Rev. Edward Groves, a clergyman of the Estab lished Church : ." ' file Noblemen, Gentlemen, Freemen, and In habitants of the City of Dublin etiptge my warmest .gratitude by their address. . _ "`lt was one of the main objects of my adminis tration of the government of this country to lead the way to an equitable adjustment of all differences, by showing to all classes of Irishmen, that loyalty to their. King, obedience to the law, and kindly feeling and forbearance towards each other, would afford the surest guarantee that a due attention would be paid to every other important object attainable by legal and constitutional means; and I quit the shores of Ireland with the less regret, inasmuch as I have seen those views partly accomplished. " By concurrent testimony, public tranquillity has been restored—commerce has been revived—indus try stimulated—and employment thereby in a con siderable degree provided for the labouring classes. " I therefore most confidently hope that the same means which have produced these happy results will continue to be exercised. " Next to the gratification which this will afford to me in my retirement, will be the remembrance of the generous construction put upon my conduct by the inhabitants of Dublin, and I take my leave of them with sincere regret; but I do not, and never can, relinquish the interest I feel in their happiness and the prosperity of the kingdom and capital of Ireland. " At the conclusion his Excellency's voice fal tered, and he appeared deeply affected, shedding tears. He afterwards spoke in friendly and familiar terms with the Pion. Robert King, M.P. (nephew of Lord Lorton), Mr. J. D. Latouche and several other gentlemen, who took l eave o f him ; and his Lordship was pleased to say, that he would certainly take an early opportunity in his private capacity of paying those visits to his friends in various parts of that country, which unexpected circumstances ren dered it impossible for him to do at the time he had originally intended. The levee continued till past 12 o'clock, and bringing up the rear in the cortege were the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, and some of the members of the corporation. As the levee broke up, the ap pearance of the streets became extraordinary. The soldiers of the garrison were drawn out in single filet., and reached from the Castle to the point near Kingstown, where the Marquis of Anglesea em barked, a distance of near seven miles. The multi tude poured forth along the whole line of road, and not a hedge or a window was unoccupied. It was a crowd composed of all classes. The manufac turers from the principal parishes bore banners, en twined with crape, as a symbol of the injury which their respective trades sustained by the abrupt re moval of so distinguished a patron. Similar em blems were exhibited in houses along the road, and ttl emotion of the people was in_the highest degree impressi ve. " As the clock struck 12, the Marquis of Angle sea took his leave of the Castle. When he appeared in the streets the shouts wefe deafening, and he ap peared deeply affected by this unequivocal exhibi tion of popular feeling. " The Marquis rode on a beautiful blood horse, surrounded by a body of military officers, most of them wearing Waterloo medals. In front were Lord Anglesea's two young sons, mounted on po nies, and he rode immediately after them; the other members of his family followed. He took off his hat in return for the public cheers which resounded from all sides, and rode smartly through the streets. In the cavalcade immediately attending upon his person was a large body of gentlemen on horseback, and ninety-three carriages, in which were some of ' the principal inhabitants of the city and resident nobility, who closed this part of the procession. In Merrion-square as many more carriages joined, and in all the avenues pouring into the Kingstown.- road, carriages and equestrians poured in, until the passages became completely blockaded. There were above 300 carriages, many of them drawn by four horses each. ,‘ The streets of Dublin were soon deserted by their Occupants, and the roads to the harbour pre sented one dense mass of persons of all ranks in every kind of vehicle. Those who remember the departure of his Majesty from Ireland were struck with the similarity of the popular enthusiasni now displayed on the same ground; the Marquis of Anglesea's cortege having, however, one advantage —there was less of mere form, and a more decided commixture of the public in one great congregated tress. The day was beautiful, and the appearance of elegantly dressed ladies in carriages and houses imparted an additional interest to the coup d'wil. It was at a late hour, as the mail was just starting, when Lord Anglesea entered his yacht (the Pearl), accompanied by his brother the Admiral, and the rest of his family. The harbour was covered with boats of all kinds, and tire vessels had their co lours hoisted. The shouting and parting cheers, though in so wide an expanse of air, were perfectly deafening. " It is right to remark, that the principal shops . were closed in Dublin upon Lord Anglesea's de parture." SPANISH AND ITALIAN REFUGEES, Mr. Freshfield waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of informing his Lordship, that the Committee appointed to manage the subscriptions in aid of the unfortunate Spanish and Italian refugees, had come to a resolution to draw a line between the claimants upon the funds raised by the benevolence of the public, and those Spaniards and Italians who might .henceforward come over to this country. It has, it seems, been determined that in no instance shall any of those funds be appropriated to the ser vice of any person who has not been numbered amongst the objects for which the public commisse ration has been invoked. It is unnecessary to point out the cause of forming this determination. Upon a former occasion, when the liberality of the British public exhibited itself for a similar purpose, several persons in Spain and Italy speculated upon the chances of coming in for a share of the bounty; and there was a good deal of difficulty attending this im proper and fraudulent intrusion. Mr. Freshfield stated his object in making this communication to the Lord Mayor was, that it might reach all parties' interested as effectually as possible. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPIRiT OP THE LONDON JOURNALS, The correspondence fiom Dublin will be read with melancholy interest. It presents a brief but striking outline of the circumstances attend ing Lord Anglesea's departure from amongst a people whose affections are easily gained by the slightest evidence of a wish to govern them like rational beings, With steady impartiality and equity, but which t oo o f ten h ave b een either trifled with, or outraged by rulers acting on the sentiment of nee vietis. Yet, neither the short administration of Lord Anglesey, nor his abrupt dismissal from the Government, will be without its use. Under hub, a further and more de cided impulse was given to the power of opinion throughout Ireland, as contra-distinguished from actual violence. If the Association has within a twelvemonth grown stronger and louder, and, to the enemies of emancipation, more ob noxious, and, as an excrescence upon the State, more anomalous, what ought to be inferred ? Why, that its power is one of speech, and writing, and thought, and moral union, su perseding those more perilous and destructive modes of popular exertion, which, when ap pealed to formerly by the Irish, as means for obtaining a redress of their grievances, pro ceeded through paths of blood and desola tion, to defeat and punishment, their never failing result. The Association is formi dable, not because it encourages acts of violence, but because it has earnestly, and hitherto successfully averted them,—because, by " speaking daggers" it renders the " use" of • daggers needless,—because, by resorting to chi nour, it has put down conspiracy, and has thrown away the pike to arm itself with the elective franchise. These are the instruments and the characteristics through which the Asso ciation has achieved a power so much railed against by a faction, because it is so effective with the numerical majority of the people of Ireland. We admit the magnitude of its in fluence, and at the same time its susceptibility of perversion to evil purposes ; but we do not see that it has been Eo perverted. We regard it, as a strong, though unpalatable remedy for a chronic and desperate disease,—as one the com pulsory disuse of which would be followed by fatal symptoms. It seems to us that the diver sion of Irish feeling, therefore, which during the short course of Lord Anglesea's Government has been worked, from the ways of midnight violence to those of manly preparation by day light, for a warfare of opinion upon constitu tional and moral ground, is for the empire and for humanity, an incalculable benefit. So the warm effusion of national feeling consequent on the unlooked-for demise of the Anglesea, Administration, must operate as a warning to the Ministers of the Crown, not to play too boldly upon the spirit which has been thus heated. A revulsion must 11 ot be provoked ; a fair and liberal principle of government must he adopted by the succeeding chief governor, or his Excel- lency must prepare to encamp with an army about him, instead of being surrounded, as Lord Anglesea has been, by an affectionate and confiding public. The Duke of Northumberland was mentioned in this paper some weeks ago as one to whom report, though very partially circu lated, had attached the possibility of his becoming Lord Anglesea's successor. We did not then know or even conjecture how much real founda tion there was for the rumour which we merely,• and, we may add, exclusively, referred to as existing, rather than as ripe for belief; but we felt it just to acid, that in many respects a more desiraLle choice could not have sug gested itself. to his Majesty's Ministers. Our Irish letter now affirms that his Grace's sentiments have recently become favourable to emancipation. If so—and such a change is not unlikely with an upright, sober, and dispassionate mind, bestowing its continued attention o❑ the subject,—the sole cause of regret or murmur at the appointment of the Duke of Northumberland is at once removed. It is likewise but candid to acknowledge, that in such a case the real feelings of the Duke of Wellington towards the Catholics are proved to be conformable with the liberal spirit which breaks out in tile first passage of the gallant Duke's letter to Dr. Curtis ; for we may be sure that there was among the Brunswick noblemen no lack of candidates for an office which would have rendered them the immediate agents of an nihilation to the Catholic hydra in its den. It; as we are assured, the Duke of Northumberland has actually accepted the vacant Government, his unexceptionable private character—the mo deration of his politics—and, as no mean item in the scale, the magnificent expenditure of a princely fortune—bid fair to render him a highly acceptable representative of Royalty to all ranks of people in Dublin. " DUBLIN, JAN. 18. " It is stated here as certain, that a King's Mes senger had been sent off to the Duke of Northumber land, offering him the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, but that his reply had not been received. " While Dr. Murray, the Catholic Archbishop, was reading an address to Lord Anglesea, the latter burst into tears. Nothing• could be better delivered than the address by Dr. Murray. Lord Anglesee, in conversation, said, I leave my heart behind.' " The nomination of Mr. Woulle to the Chair manship of Cavan is a most important measure upon the part of Lord Francis Leveson Gower. Woulfe had no interest except what he derived from the admiration of his admirable pamphlet. The Orangemen arc deeply mortified, because they see that all the substantial products of loyalty are taken away from them. "It is stated here on good authority, that the Duke of Northumberland is a convert to the Ca tholic question. " DUBLIN, JAN. 19. " You will receive with this letter, from your reporter, a rapid account of the circumstances attend ing the departure of the Marquis of Anglesea. To that letter, therefore, you may refer your readers with confidence. To describe the state of Dublin this day with any hope of communicating an ade quate idea of the sentiments—l would almost say the passions —which prevail among all ranks, is im possible: at least it is beyond my powers. " The Marquis was manifestly affected at the en thusiastic greetings with which he was received.— Surrounded by his children and by the people, ac companied by a long train of gentlemen on horse back, many of whom had come from distant parts of the country for the purpose, and joined by great numbers of those noblemen and gentlemen who are assembled for the purpose of attending the great meeting to-morrow, the scene resembled very nearly, I am informed by those who remember 1795, the arture of Earl Fitzwilliam. That nobleman was sia ;iced to an Orange ascendancy, and his re call was followed by a rebellion. I do not appre hend any thing of the kind now. There is no union to be carried, and Ministers apparently can have no object in involving the empire in confusion and themselves in disgrace. But though I share this opinion with many persons of experience, I an: sorry to say that a sentiment of a very different nature appears to prevail among the people in general...— There was infinitely less of party animosity— of that shocking virulence, which at present enters into and pervades every thing Irish, then than there is now. The Orangemen were
