JOHN BARROW. CURIOUS SCOTTISH DIVORCE. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) About three days ago, Messrs. Teasdale and Co., the solicitors, in Fenchurch-street, applied at the Mansion-houee to the Sitting Magistrate, to act as a Magistrate in the case of a Scotch female, who sought a divorce from her husband under very curious circumstances. The Solicitors had with them a commission from the Scotch Con . sistory Court to warrant the hearing of evidence by an English Magistrate in this country, to establish the charge of adultery against the hus band, who, although but lately married, con sented, and was in fact a warm party to the mea sure which was to cause an eternal separation between him and his wife. The facts of the case, which we believe is without a parallel, are as follows : James Cobham, a gardener, in the Highlands of Scotland, about twelve months ago married a young woman, whom he had been courting some time, but whose circumstances happened to be as narrow as his own. Although the union was one of love, the prudence of the bridegroom had the better of his passion, and he actually left his wife for the purpose of obtaining a situa tion in or near London, without consummating the marriage. His argument was,—the very common and reasonable one,—that a couple, before they thought of having a family about them, ought to provide against a dependence upon a parish bounty, or any other cold inter position of charity. His wife uttered not a word of impediment, but begged on parting that he would procure a place as speedily as possible, without attempting to reason upon the necessity of an early meeting. Cobham, full of the deter mination to make a fortune, arrived in London, and succeeded in obtaining a situation in the grounds of Mr. Mackey, a gardener, at Clapton, where he worked from morning till night, with a heart in the point of Scotland, for some time. But Cupid is not to be played with; the rejec tion of those gifts which the god often so pro fusely bestows, he is sure to revenge, as if that rejection arose from a contempt of his sovereignty, from a denial of his omnipotence. Cobham fell stark mad in love with a girl who resided in the neighbourhood of Clapten. The ardour, which was suppressed in the eco nomical regions of the North, blazed forth in this congenial climate, and happened to meet with a return ; for the object of it soon usurped the place of the forgotten wife. For ten long months did this inconstant gardener keep his unhappy wife in vain expectation. The few let ters which he wrote to her were filled with ac counts of the woful state of trade, and thoughts on the miseries of inconsiderate marriages. At last he got a hint from her that she would join his fortunes at any rate, and he received the LONDON, THURSDAY - EVENING, JULY 9, 1829. No. 11,488. PRICE 7D. SLAVE CHILDREN.

No remains of this money could be discovered. Ruthven stated his belief, founded upon all that he had seen and heard, that the house had been in tentionally set on fire. Sir R. BIRNIE observed, that the fact of the cash box furnished very strong evidence of Christy's guilt, and that presumption was still more strongly confirmed by his failing to come forward. Ruthven, the officer, was then despatched to Christy's residence, and on his return saw the land lord of the house, who told him that be (Christy) had gone to Bow-street. F HOWE, with f ee li ngs o f gra tit u d e , b egs to • return his most sincere thanks to the Visitants of Margate for the liberal support he has received during the last eighteen years that he has kept the above Establish ment, and he flatters himself that the SUPERIOR AC COMMODATIONS OF HIS HOTEL, COMBINED WITH MODERATE CHARGES, will ensure him that -hare of public patronage, which it is his highest ambition to merit. MANSION-HOUSE. A German, named William Mullar, who was said to be a merchant of affluence and respectability, was some days ago charged before Sir C. S. HUNTER with having made an improper exhibition in the win dow of a chamber in the George and Vulture Ta vern, in Cornhill ; and yesterday an application of rather an unusual kind was made to the LORD MAYOR. The facts were as follow :—Mr. Salt marsh, a gentleman who resides near the tavern, stated upon the occasion of the charge, that the female servants of his family were most grossly in, stilted by the conduct of the defendant, who had been in the habit of acting in the manner above de scribed at the window of his (defendant's) cham ber, and in full view of the complainant's house. Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, and Thomas Herds field, the officer, stated that they went to the com plainant's house, and, unseen by the defendant, wit nessed the gross conduct of which he was said to have been frequently guilty. A friend of the de fendant stated that the defendant was quite ignorant of the English language, and meant nothing by doing as he had done.—(A laugh.)--The way to remedy the affair would be to remove him to another chamber in which he could not be seen. Sir C. S. HUNTER said the only remedy for such beastly con duct was prosecution and punishment, and he or dered the defendant to find bail. The proprietor of the George and Vulture Tavern immediately bailed him ; and James Ridgway, Piccadilly. ROYAL ACADEMY, SOMERSET HOUSE. LAST WEEK.

On Monday Mr. Brooks, a linen-draper, in Ox ford-street, came before Mr. RawurrsoN, and com plained that a young man, named Augustus Mackey, who formerly lived with him as a shopman, had on Sunday evening taken highly improper liberties with his (the complainant's) maid-servant, and had almost succeeded in violating her, and he asked Mr. Rawlinson to give her redress. Elizabeth Whitlock, the prosecutrix, stated that on Sunday afternoon the defendant called at her master's house, for the purpose, he said, of visiting Mr. George, a young man still in her master's ser vice, and who had been fellow-shopman with the defendant when he was there. Mr. George was then engaged in writing up stairs, and the de fendant came down into the kitchen, where she was preparing the tea, to wait for Lim. He conversed very freely with her, and afterwards proce e d e d t o take liberties which site did not like, and in endea vouring to kiss her without her consent, he broke one of the tea-cups, and gave her half-a-crown to replace it. Mr. George invited him to stay and drink tea, and they went out together. In a short time the defendant returned without Mr. George, and knocked at the door. She let him in, and ram up stairs into the drawing-room, and be followed her, and forced her into an adjoining chamber, and would by violence have accomplished his intention, notwithstanding she screamed, and made all the re sistance in her power, if Mr. George had not at that moment returned,rfor there was no one in the house but an errand boy in the kitchen, and he was too far off to hear her cries. She told Mr. George what had happened, and he turned the defendant out of the house, and when her master came home she likewise told him. POPULAR NOVELS. Ju s t published by HENRY COLB URN, New.

Mr. Saltmarsh considered that the payment of this sum would be a penalty in some degree apportioned to the offence, and that it would be advisable to 'forego the pro secution for so important an advantage to a charity. He wished also, if the proposition was complied with, to name the institution upon which the money might be bestowed with propriety. To this sug gestion Sir C. Hunter would not consent. He had bound over the parties to prosecute for the offence against public decency, and he would not be a party to compromise in a matter in which the public were concerned. IL DE V EREUX.

It is of amazing size and strength, and seems endowed with a greater portion of intellect than almost any Animal of the Brute Creation. The head is very large, the hair on the forehead rising to a peak ; the nose, forehead, and chin a beautiful red colour ; the cheeks, which are very promi nent, a pale blue, with a beard of a light orange ; the co lour of the body a speckled brown ; the hands and arms perfectly human. The tricks it has been taught, such as smoking a pipe, &c., which it does with a degree of ele gance worthy any Divan, are truly remarkable. We can with perfect confidence assert, that an animal so highly curious has not been seen for a length of time. AD VENTURES of a KING'S PAGE. 3 Vols. post Bvo. sir s. 6d.

Mr. Saltmarsh said, that the first offer made by the defendant was 20/., but he (complainant) held out for lOW., and he really thought it would be most advisable to accept of that sum, and let the de fendant take himself off.

Cheapside, London, June 23, 1829. preceding four days, indicated to every soldier that, on the morrow, these harassing and, to them, unsatisfactory displays of generalship would be terminated, and on the affair being de cided they would obtain a brief respite. I felt no inclination for repose, and having visited the outposts, slowly wandered to a short distance from the camp. The larger stars only were vi sible. The scene was as tranquil as a church yard. The piles of arms, groups of men, and scattered tents were dimly blended to the gaze. At this moment a murmur fell upon my ear.— I approached the spot from whence the sound proceeded ; it was of two voices, of a youth and a full-grown man. A few steps farther brought me in sight of the latter. I looked on them at tentively. Two figures were on the ground kneeling, an elderly man and a youth of sixteen. Their faces were close together, their hands ele vated in the attitude of prayer, and their heads directed upwards ; their words now dropped dis tinctly on my ear ; I recognised the elderly one, a most meritorious soldier, who had risen from the ranks to a lieutenancy. Two days before his only son had arrived from England as an ensign in the same corps with his father, who was justly proud of his commissioned son, a fine promising lad, fresh from school, and from the quiet home of his boyhood now all at once cast into the arena of death. Could it be wondered at if his young spirit quailed at the prospect before him, when he compared it with all he had left behind in his native land ? That night he had with drawn with his parent into the solitude of the encampment, where I beheld that father and that son, unseen by them, invoking the Father of All at that midnight hour. The prayer of the son was interrupted by many a sob ; his father's low but earnest voice in vain whispered consolation ; the youth felt awfully oppressed by the sense of his new and startling position in commencing his perilous career. Distinctly I heard his young heart unfold all its latent appre hensions, and utter all its doubts and dismays, and then he sobbed bitterly, casting himself on the arms of his kneeling father, whose voice rose louder as he appealed to Heaven to strengthen and shield his boy in the hour of combat. Down he turned his face on his son's and kissed him, with a low whisper. To that son the glory of a soldier's fame and a soldier's death appeared vain and unenviable ; he wished to forsake his dismal trade to pursue an humbler and unaspir ing course in the midst of civil life, and in the absence of peril ; but the old soldier would not - - listen to these requests ; he did not chide or up braid his son, he knew that nature was strong, and must hold her course uncontrolled. A long silence ensued, the sobs of the youth became less frequent, and at length both arose, the son with a lighter and bolder heart, fortified by the spirit which had regained the mastery, and by the prayers which had not been unheard or un heeded. The father placed his arm round the youth, and both walked leisurely away. The son did his duty at Salamanca, his conduct was especially noticed and applauded ; he behaved like a young lion, and was in the thickest of the death-storm till the close of day. The struggle did not end till night came over the field, but then this young hero's hour was come ; it came as he was congratulated by a brother officer on the al most achieved SUCCENS of the day, when he fell dead by a musket-shot. His poor father sought him among the slain, and buried him in a lone grave near the spot where they had prayed on the previous night. From that hour that father pined away ; he still did his duties well ; death he vainly sought in every succeeding action ; at last the spirit was vanquished, and he passed away from amongst us, unscathed by mortal weapon, but his heart pierced by one of those unseen wounds which baffle mortal skill.— United Service Journal.

It may be recollected that on the night of Sun day, the 31st of May last, the house of a person named Christy, a cheesemonger, in Stanhope-street, Clare-market was consumed by fire. On the fol lowing day Mr. Christy appeared at this office, and applied to Sir Richard Birnie for advice, stating his belief that his premises had been intentionally set fire to, and that a person named Brookes, a boot closer, formerly his lodger, was the person whom he suspected of having done so. Sir Richard Birnie, after having put a few questions to Mr Christy, de clined expressing any opinion upon the subject, arid told him, that from some information he had re ceived he was induced to believe that the house had been intentionally set , fire to, but not by the party to whom he had alluded. It subsequently appeared that Brookes having heard of the report which had been circulated to his prejudice, came to this office and declared his :willingness to meet any charge which might be preferred against him. Mr. Christy was then sent for by Sir R. Birnie, in order to substantiate his accusation, but he (lid not think proper to attend, and as the affair appeared to be involved in some degree of mystery, upon the appli cation of Mr. Barber Beaumont, of the County Fire-office, (in which Mr. Christy had ensured,) the business was placed in the hands of Ruthven, the officer, who has ever since been engaged in en deavouring so procure such evidence as would tend to fix the charge upon the guilty party. Yesterday morning Mr. Barber Beaumont and other witnesses were in attendance at 10 o'clock, in Sir R. Birnie's private room, a summons having been issued requiring the attendance of Mr. Christy, in order to give evidence against Brookes, who was in waiting and ready to be examined. An hour having elapsed without Mr. Christy's appearing Sir R. BIRNIE asked the summoning clerk if he had served the summons upon Mr. Christy. The clerk stated, that he served the summons upon Murrell Christy at a public-house, where he lodged, in Little Britain. The summons required his attendance at half-past ten o'clock this morning, in order to give evidence respecting the fire which had taken place in his house.n the night of Sunday the 31st of May. Sir R. BIRME—Did you serve the summons per sonally upon Mr. Christy, or did you merely leave it at his dwelling ? The Clerk replied, that he handed the summons to Mr. Christy in person, who said he would attend. Sir R. DIRNIE—An hour has now elapsed with• out his appearing. It looks as if he were appre hensive that something disagreeable might occur to himself. Mr. Barber Beaumont then stated, that from the facts which had come to his knowledge,he had good reason for believing that Christy himself was the person who had set fire to his premises ; and the principal reason why he had come to that conclusion was, that he (Christy) had set up a claim to the amount of 3971., although the whole amount of the property consumed upon the premises did not ex ceed 80/. He had claimed the value contained in two trunks, which he said were filled with wearing apparel. Now it could be proved that these very trunks had been removed in a van on the Thursday previous to the fire. A box containing papers was found in the room, where these trunks were alleged to have been deposited, and none of the papers were at all' injured. Mr. Hodsoll, assessor to the County and other fire-offices, stated that he examined the premises after the fire had taken place, and found in the ruins the fragment of a sheet and a patch-work counter pane. They were old, and but partially burnt. Amongst other property, the value of which was claimed, was a quantity of plate, consisting of silver spoons, &c., but no melted silver whatever was found amongst the ruins. He (Mr. Hodsoll) had attended the ruins of 340 fires, and had generally found, where linen or clothing was packed in trunks or boxes, that the centre of goods so placed re mained unconsumed. No such vestiges, however, were found in the ruins of this fire, although the sum claimed fer linen and wearing apparel was 140/. Mr. Christy had also stated that he had lost a cash. box containing 1901. in notes and sovereigns. The box was found in the ruins unopened and empty. upon being questioned as to this, Mr. Christy said - The complainant again declared that she opposed him with all her power; and he was required to give bail to answer the charge at the sessions.

The assembly was very numerous; various specimens of fruits and flowers were exhibited; but the greatest curiosity was some dried fruit from China, called disopyrus kaki, highly flavoured, and delicious to the taste. In consequence of the accounts and expences attending the public breakfast not having wholly been received, no report was made upon the subject. We were informed, however, that 4,438 tickets had been sold ; and that, notwithstanding the ex tremely unfavourable state of the weather, 3,640 persons were actually present. We were happy to find that not the slightest injury was done either to the gardens or the grounds. A subject of peculiar attraction at the Rooms yesterday was the two splendid pictures of English Fruit painted by LAisciz expressly for the Duke of BED FORD, by whose especial permission they were permitted to be exhibited to the Members of the Horticultural So ciety, in consequence of many of the finest specimens having been copied from the originals, produced in their garden at Chiswick. Lord CARNARVON and many other distinguished amateurs, as well as practical gardeners, were quite astonished at the brilliant and accurate display of nature in these paintings. uncourteous news just as her rival was giving birth to a child. This wall no joke—he in stantly travelled to Scotland, and made his ere. dulous wife soon forget his former insensibility. After a delay of about a month, however, he considered it but fair that he should deal can didly, and he accordingly said to his wife in bed, " My dear, I think it is no more than an honest man ought to do to say what has happened since we parted, for I can't stay here any longer." " Well, my love," replied the wife, " we'll go to London." " No, my dear," said he, " not both of us. You must stay where you are, but I must go back, for the truth is, I have left be hind me a girl, the hair of whose head I prefer to you, body and soul." This intelligence was received with becoming spirit. The injured woman at once resolved upon a separation; and when she made known the bitter reality of her situation, a nobleman at once interested himself, and the consequence was, the application to an English agent to procure evidence of the adul tery, in order that a divorce might be at once effected. The temporary locum tenens for the Lord Mayor objected to receive evidence of the adul tery, and application was therefore made to a Middlesex Magistrate, who also happened to be an Alderman, and who, upon hearing the circum stances, and that the commission sanctioned his interference, consented to act. The witnesses were brought to his house in Marylebone, and in accordance with the terms of the commission they were conducted singly into the room. The Alderman was surprised to see a beauti ful girl, about 18 years of age, introduced. " To what point," said he, " do you come to bear wit ness ?" "To the whole of the business, your Worship," said she : " I am come to swear that Cobham has not been faithful to his wife." The Alderman then proposed the oath, the form of which was extremely simple and impres sive. The deponent kneels down upon both knees, and placing the right hand upon a Bible, repeats slowly some words expressive of the de pendence of future hopes and happiness in this and in the other world upon the truth or false hood of what is about to be stated. Having taken the oath, she was aked with whom the husband had been guilty. " With whom ?" said she : " with me, your Worship."—" I believe you from my soul," said the Alderman, "as you say so. Pray what in duces you to be so candid on the subject ? Have you any expectations from him ?"—" Why, he deserted his wife on my account," said she, " immediately after his marriage, and I think that is a good security for his good conduct." It appeared that the witness was not aware at the time she began to fill Mrs. Cobham's place that she was performing the office of deputy. She did not, she added, appear on this occasion in opposition to the wishes of either party. A divorce was wished for by both, and she expected to be married as soon as it should be completed. There was a further security in the birth of a fine child, of which he was the father and she the mother, and it was not probable that the present Mrs. Cobham would relish that circum stance or forgive it. The next witness was Mr. Mackey, who swore be believed that the act of adultery had been committed between the young woman j►;st examined and Cobham, and that the child was theirs. The Alderman signed the depositions of these witnesses, and handed them over to Messrs. Teasdale, who forthwith transmitted them to Scotland. It is believed that this case will be followed up by several others, the expense attend ing this plan of divorce being, comparatively with those of an English case, little or nothing. Some doubts are however, we understand, entertained of the validity of evidence given under such remarkable circumstances. Some of the old Aldermen have, upon hearing the par ticulars, declared that they would not have acted upon the commission.
