To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden !mysteries "of Life within Life,"and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these Complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. - - BY SAMUEL LI'MERT, 37, BEDFORD SQUA.U.E, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. Tho essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con •equences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated with cut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties lalay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

STAmpieD may say that applications for advice in church-rate son- tests come in daily. They are principally from the rural parishes ; and although rates thus opposed are in a num ber of instances nominally carried, the cases in whioh after-payment is not refused with impunity are to be counted, we can assure your lordship, by the units. It is, my lord, a statement involving responsibility, both to make and to hear ; but it must needs be said— that it is only by a severe strain upon the law that church-rates are now maintained at all. Tricks are played with vestry notices. Estimates are refused, or are so drawn up as to convey no information, or so slurred over in the reading as to be incapable of being con i dered. Legal and relevant motions are put aside; the poll of the parish is refused, or is fired so as to impede classes of ratepayers likely to be opponents of the rate from recording their votes ; while unimpeachable voter, legally tendered, are rejected wholesale. Even on the beach it has too often been found necessary to bring magistrates to a sense of their duty by the formal threat of legal proceedings, or of a representation of their conduct to the proper authorities. -In this country, my Lord, this state of things can but lead to one result. it has already become a recognised point in Anti- Church-rate tactics to watch for these illegalities, and make use of them afterwards for preventing the enforce ment of the rate: Confining, then, the discussion within the limits of expediency to which it km: been restricted, we trust we have said much to satisfy your lordship that church rates cannot be relied on..topglnce a certain income— are not necessaryfor,thpisgpP9rt of public worship—and are not agreeabllctii"ttie wishes of the country generally. We cannotf .f litefe that, wider these circumstances, your lordship - will deem an "equivalent" _ necessary for those who ft till enjoy the use of the national buildings without paying rent.

This man, disguised as a native, had ventured out from the Lucknow Residency, where 0 utram Havelock, and Inglis were besieged, and, passing through the enemy's position unmo lested, made his way to the camp of the Commander in-Chief. We subjoin Cavanagh's very interesting and simple narrative : - Narraiivi of my Escape from the British Entrenchment at Luckno o to the Camp of Sir Coli❑ Campbell, near Bunner, for the Purpose of Acting as his Guide in his Advance for the Relief of the Besieged Garrison. While passing through the entrenchment of Luckuow, about 10 o'clock, a.m., on the 9 th inkt , I learnt that a spy had come in from Cawnpore, and that he WAS going hack in the night as far ari Alunibagh with despatches to his Excellency Sir Colin Campb4ll, the Commander-in-Chief, who, it was said, was approaching Lucknow with five or six thousand men. I sought out the spy, whose name is Kunoujee Lall, and who was in the Court of the Deputy Commissioner of Darahad before the outbreak in Oude. He had taken lett,lrs from the entrench ment before, but I had never seen him till now. I found him intelligent, and imparted to him my desire to venture in disguise to Alutnbagh in his company. •He hesitated a good deal at acting as ney guide, but made no attempt to exaggerate the dangers of the road. Ho merely urged that there was more chance of detection by cur goingtogether, and proposed that wo should take different roads and meet outside of the city, to which I objected. I loft him to transact some business, my mind dwelling all the time on the means of accomplish ing my object. I had some days previously witnessed the pre paration of plans which were being made by direc tion of Sfr James Outram to assist the Counnwnder in-Chief in his march into Lucknow for the relief of the besieged, and it then occurred to me that sAne, one with she requisite local knowledge ought to attempt to reach his Excellency's camp beyond or at Alumbao. The news of Sir Coin Campbell's advaumrevived the ideas, and I made up my mind to go myself at 2.-o'clock, after finishing the busi ness I was engage upon. I mentioned to Colonel R. Napier, chief of - Sir James Outram's staff, that I was willing to proceed through the enemy to Al umbagh if the general thought my doing so would be of servioe to the Commander-in-Chief. He was surprised at the offer, and seemed to regard the enterprise as fraught with too much danger to be assented to, but be did me the favour of communi cating the offer to Sir James Outram, became he considered that my zeal deserved to be brought to his notice. Sir James did not encourage me to undertake the journey, declaring that he thought it so danger ous that he would not himself have asked any offi cer to attempt it. I, however, spoke so confidently of success, and treated the dangers so lightly, that he at last yielded, and did me the honour of adding that if I succeeded in reaching the Ccinmander-in- Chief my knowledge would be a great help to him. I secretly arranged for a disguise, so that my de parture might not be known to my wife, as she was not well enough to bear the prospect of an eternal separation. When I left home, about 7 o'clock in the evening she thought I was gone on duty for the night to the miner, for I was working as an assistant field engineer, by order of Sir James Outram. By half-past 7 o'clock my disguise was completed, and when I entered the room of Colonel Napier no one in it recognised me. I was dressel as a Bud mash, or as an Irregular soldier of the city, with sword encl shield, native made shoes, tight trou sers, a yellow silk koortah over a light fitting white muslin shirt, a yellow- coloured chintz sheet thrown round my shoulders, a cream-coloured turban, and a white waistband or kumurbund. My face down to the shoulders, and my hands to the wrists, were coloured with lamp black, the cork used being dipped in oil to cause the colour to adhere a little. I could get nothing better. I had little confidence in the disguise of my features, and I trusted more to the darkness of the night ; but Sir James Outram and his staff seemed satisfied, and, after being provided with a small double-barrelled pistol, and a pair of broad pyjamahs over the tight drawers, I proceeded with Kunoujeo Lall to the right bank of the river Goompty, running north of our en trenchment, accompanied by Captain Ilardinge, of the Irregular Cavalry. Here we undressed and quietly forded filo river, which was only about 4 feet deep, and about a hundred yards wide at this point. My courage failed me while in the water, and if my guide had been within reach I should perhaps have pulled him back and abandoned the enterprise. But be waded quickly through the stream, and reaching the op posite bank went crouching up a ditch for three hundred yards, to a grove of low trees on the edge of a pond, where we stopped to dress. While we were here a man came down to the pond to wash, and wont away again without observing us. My confidence now returned to we, and with my tulwar resting on my shoulder, we advanced into the huts in front, where I accosted a matchlock man, who answered to my remark that the night was cold, "It is very cold—in fact, it is a cold night." I passel him, adding that it would be colder by and bye. After going six or seven hundred yar ds further, we reactd the iron bridge over the Goompty, where we were stopped and called over by a native officer who was seated in an upper storied house, and seemed to be in command of a cavalry picket, whose horses were near the place saddled. My guide advanced to the light, and I stayed a little back in the shade. After being told .that we had come frcm Mundoon (our old cantonment, and then in the possession of the enemy), and that we were going into the city to our homes, he let us proceed. We continued on along the left bank of the river to the store bridge, which is about eight or nine hundred yards from the iron bridge, pass ing unnoticed through a number of sepoys an d matchlock men, some of whom were escorting per sons of rank in palankeens preceded by toreheQ Recrossing the Goompty by the i stone bridge, ' we went byaadsieritiitir33Trare sunobserved,dressed _ native,ae or principal streetand into a i t c o lo th s e e l y e chock, tioning of the city of Lucknow, which was not illuminated as much as it used to be pre vious to the siege, nor was it so crowded.

When i'suing from the city into the country we were challenged by a chowkeedar, or watchman, who, without stopping us, merely asked who we were. The part of the city traversed that night by me seemed to have been deserted by at least a third ,of its inhabitants. I was in great spirits when we reached the green fields, into which I had not been for five months. Everything around us smelt sweet, and a carrot I took from the road-side was tie most delicious I had cvor tasted. I gave vent to my feelings in a conversation with Kunoujee Lall, who joined in 3 m.rt LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, -JANUARY 29, 1858. EAST INDIA HOUSE, 26vu.JANussY, 1858.

GLA3GOW•• THE WADSTVO.RTH-MOOR MURDER. The inquest on the body of Bethel Parkinson, farmer, who was murdered on Wadsworth-moor, near Halifax, on the 14th inst., was resumed before Mr. Dyson, at the White orse Inn, Hebden- 1 bridge, on Wednesday. Mr. Marsden, the solicitor for the West Riding, was in attendance, and, with the concurrence of the coroner, conducted the exa mination of the witnesses. Joseph Shepherd, the person in custody on suspicion of being the mur derer, was also present, and cross-examined some of the witnesses. He is a mild, intelligent-looking man, of fair complexion and middle stature. The evidence was voluminous. It was shown that on Wednesday, the 13th, the deceased and the pri soner were in company together, when the former nsked a brother-in-law, named Normanton, to lend him some money, assigning as his reason for want ing to borrow it that Shepherd knew of a young farmer who, his father having died without a will, was going to sell offend pocket the proceeds. He did not get the money, but the prisoner and the de ceased afterwards left the house of the latter toge ther, and were traced thence to the moor where the murder was committed in company with each other. About 7 o'clock the same night a man answering the description was met on the read leading to Lud denden-foot, coming from the direction of the scene of the murder, and shortly afterwards evidently the same man took a second-class ticket at Lud denden-foot station for Halifax. On the arrival of the train at Halifax the prisoner was seen at the station, and he called a cab, telling the driver, whom he knew, to take him up the back streets to the Swine-market. He then got off and went to a house of ill-fame, kept by aMrs. Eastwood, St. James's-road. As to what occurred there, one of the inmates, named Mary Gordon, said—" I re member Wednesday the 13 th, about half-past 8, there was a knock at the doer. I asked what was wanted—whether it was anything 1 A man came in, and asked if he could wash himself. He came into the passage and asked Sarah Hay for warm water and a sponge. I heard, him say, have lots of money ; here's a sovereign ; get a bottle of sherry.' I said, Come in.' He said, 'No, I can't ; you don't know how I am.' He came to the parlour door and said, ' Come here, I want you.' I went into the passage; and there I saw the prisoner, Joseph Shep herd. I showed him into a bedroom on the same floor. I tried to light the gas, but did not succeed. I took up a candle fromthe dressing-table. I noticed blood on his trousers. In one part the blood ap awbhloimod o s e c t m th e ap peared to have been rubbed in, and in another it em warm a n's waterfingers a scrubbing-brush.

I asked him what he had been doing, and he f he had better take his sovereign. He took it back and gave her ss. in silver. Shepherd went out, and came back in about a guar ter of an hour. He knocked at the back door, and Mrs. Eastwood let him in. 1 noticed that the part of his trousers where I had before seen the blood :had been washed, but I saw spots of blood still left on his trousers. . I Sarah Hay fetched a bottle of sherry. Myself, saidlswnn ot a rwt i e s e s eh i atnua. spots. fetched s Sarah Hay, and Shepherd drank it. He then sent for a second bottle, and wlaile we were drinking it he had some beef and bread. While eating the', meat and bread he said he would burn his trousers and buy a new pair, if it was not so late in the evening. I said, ' Why would you burn them— they are a good pair ?" He said' I don't care for the price of a pair ; I have plenty of money.' He said he had not so d—d long to live, but while he did live he would enjoy himself. He asked if he could have a bed for the night, He asked Sarah Hay and myself to go to Huddersfield with him next morn ing, and he gave a cabman ;a sovereign for a cab. He stayed all night. Hay :and myself slept in the same bed. In the morning the prisoner left about half-past, six. Before leaving he took the scrubbing brush from the floor, and commenced brushing his trousers where I had seen the blood, saying it, it's not all gone yet.' " Sarah Hay, also an un fortunate," living at Mrs. EastwooeN, St. James's road, Halifax, corrol orated the evidence of the las witness. The inquiry was then adjourned till yes terday morning. CHURCH RATE DEPUTATION. The following is the statement read by Dr. Foster to Lord Palmerston on Wednesday last : My Lord,—We have been made aware by the public journals that there has been laid before your lordship, under high sanction, a statement professedly based upon the returns now before Parliament, to the affect that church rates produce a certain income of about 350,000/. a year, the whole of which is necessary to the due maintenance of Divine service, and ii collected without opposition or difficulty from 95 per cent, of •the parishes of the United Kingdom. We too, my lord, bare exa mined the returns, and, in hope of early legislation, we wish to expose a statement so erroneous as we believe tide to be. Is appears, then, my lord, according to the latest re turns (1854), that the whole sum received by church wardens from all sources to meet the anneal expenditure of the churches of England and Wales—comprising the repairs, maintenance of Divine service, and repayment of borrowed money—amounted to 484,000/. (431,5841.) Of this amount the sum of 170,195/. was received from sources independent of church-rates, and appears by the returns to be a permanent income and to have increased during the last 15 years by upwards of '25,000/. a year. With respect to church rates, on the other hand, it appears that the income derived from this source is so little to be depended on that it has undergone a continu -1 out decline fr.,as 1827 downwards :—the returns giving the amount at 519,000/. (512,307/.) in 1827 ; at 430,000/. (432,5771.) in 1832 ; at 351,0001. (351,7711.) in 1839 ; and in 1854 at 314,000/. (314,659/.) only, and thus showing an aggregate loss of 205,000/. or nearly one-half in 27 years. Tnis loss is certainly cot due to any diminution either in the wants of the Church or the ability of the country. On the contrary, judging by the addition during this period of more than one-sixth to the number of churches as shown by the census, and to the amount of rateable income of the community apparent from the income-tax and poor-rate returns, there ought insteid of this loss to have been an approximate addition of 100,0001. a year to the original amount. It is, moreover, beyond doubt, my lord, that even this diminished income is largely in excess for any pur pose for which the law requires those who are not mem• hers of the Church of England to make provision on its behalf. Of the expenditure for the year 1854, it will be found that Sir W. Clay's return gives less than 245,000/. (244,7901.), as the amount expended on the fabric ; and on careful examination it will be clear that a not incon siderable portion of even this amount must be deducted as having in point of fact been applied to other purposes. We believe the assumption to be a safe one that this sum satisfied the whole provision required by law. Hav ing then, as has been already seen, an income from other sources amounting to the sum of 170,000/. in part supply of this expenditure, the conclusion is inevitable that of the 314,0001, appearing to be received from church rates, 74,0001 (74,3191) only ought to bo raised :—the remaininiug 240,000/. (240,360/.) (or nearly 6-7ths of the whale) being applied to purposes not con templated by law. We do not say, my lord, that all this expenditure is in the strict sense of the word illegal, That there is illegal expenditure to an extent constituting a practical ele ment in dealing with the question is part of our state ment to your lordship, but we are now combating the representation that a t church rate income of about 350,0001. is necessary to that due maintenance of Divine service which the law requires parishioners generally to provide for the Church of England. We are clearly ad vised that the law does not require the parish to provide the usual salaries for organists, tuners and blowers, singers, parish clerks, beadiest, pew-openers, and bell ringers, with the numerous sundries by which rates are now ordinarily doubled, trepled, quintupled, and even more. These may themselves be very proper items, if paid for by those who use them • but they are in no sense contemplated by the law of church rates, further than that the churchwarden is not absolutely forbidden to include them in his estimates if he thinks it consistent with propriety to do so. There is no law to oblige a vestry even to take them into consideration. The proper amount to raise, then, being 75,000/. a year, we believe your lordship will hardly expect us to treat seriously the question whether church rates are to be maintained for the sake of this sum—it being an amount which may be exactly supplied by a pew rent of three-halfpence per quarter per sittirg upon three million out of the five million sittings belonging to the Church of England, leaving two million sittings free to the poor. With reference to the 95 per cent, cf tke parishes which are said to retain church rates, we cannot but, observe that the return relied upon for this conclu sion not only professes to give the least information, but is, we believe, the most incomplete of any before Parliament, and that the conclusion itself is not recon cileable with the facts disclosed by the other returns. It ignores almost altogether the borough parishes, into which the inquiry was directed by Parliament ; and .._ . . although represented to your lordship as compri.ing 9,672 parishes, the real number comprised is certainly 1,000 less, and includes a striking number of places which are not parishes at all, but districts paying rates to the mother Church, and which appear to be counted as if they were so many separate parishes. It appeare, moreover, from comparison with Sir W. Clay's return, that in a large number of the parishes represented as granting church-rates, and entered no doubt with literal truth as not having refused them during the 15 years embraced by it, church-rates aro in fact not asked for, owing to the existence of othe r p rovisions. The effect of this single observation is. that while it has been stated to your lordship that 403 parishes only have refused church-rates, and 544 only have endowment, 440 being doubtful, there appear on Sir Wm. Clay's return to be 2,700 parishes to be deriving income from other sources, and 2,000 in which rates, whether granted or not, were not collected ; and the bulk, certainly, of these to fill up the 95 per cent. of parishes granting church-rates. When to this we add, as information of the accuracy of which we have no question, that is numerous parishes the rates returned as granted are granted and accepten as voluntary rates, the attempt to enforce w hich would be the signal for general refusal ; we trust we have said enough as to incompleteness and inaccuracy. But it will probably strike your lordship that the aggregate diminution of the rate throughout the country is a more reliable test than is elf )rded by this return of the amount of refusal by the parishes. The loss which has been shown during twenty-seven years, of neatly h a lt the Ourch-rate of the country must have been produced, we submit, by opposition of a ,somewhat decisive c haracter in ab out half the parishes in the co untry i while, if the inq uir y be confined to the lat,t 15 years, ' cove red by the ret urns in q uestion, daring , vch the b . p e ndency of the B raintree case produced a-comparative lull in the opposition, it will appear from l a ti o n that the refusals must have extended, even th en, a t the rate of about 100 fresh parishes every year. B ut this, my lord, only gives the state of things prior to th e r decision of the Braintree case ; its ft ar, give your lordship, a simple calcu lation results we cae n ot, we even approximately. But we COURT CIRCULAR, THE ORDER OF THE GARTER. WINDSOR, THURSDAY. The Queen held a Chapter of the most Noble Order of the Garter this afternoon at the Castle.

We hart reached a British cavalry outpost 2 • my eves filled with joyful tears, and [shook the Sikh officer in charge of the picquet heartily bythe hand. Tie old soldier was as pleased as myself when he heard from whence I bad come, and he was good enough to send two of Lis trento conduct me to the camp of the advanced-guard. An officer of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, who was visiting his pickets. met me on the way, and took me to his tent, where I got dry stockings and trousers, and what I much needed—a glass of brandy, a liquor I had not tasted for nearly two months. I thanked God far having safely conducted me through this dangerous enterprise, and Kunoujee Lall tor the courage and intelligence with which he had conducted himself during this trying night. When we were questioned he let me speak as little as possible. He always had a ready answer, and I feel that I am indebted to him in a great measure more thin to myself fur my escape. It will give me great satisfaction to hear that he has been suitably rewarded. In undertaking this enterprise I was actuated by a sense of duty, believing that I could be of use to his Excellency the commander-in-chief when ap proaching, for its relief, the besieged garrison, which had heroically resisted the attack of thirty times its own number for nearly five months, within a weak and irregul Ai. entrenchment ; and secondly, because I was anxious to perform some service which would ensure to, me the honour of wearing our Most Gracious Majesty's Cross. My reception by Sir Colin Campbell and his staff was cordial and kind to the utmost degree, and if I never have more than the remembrance of their condescension and of the heartfelt congratulation of S;r James On ram and of all the officers of his garrison on any safe return ta them, I shall not re pine, though to he sure having the Victoria Cross would make me a prouder and a happier man.

I bade him not to be frightened of me, as such accidents were not for I was not annoyed, unfrequent even when there was no danger to be avoided. It was now about midnight. We endeavoured to persuade a cultivator, s for a short distanoe, but h e urged and another whom I pe remptorily na to l ld anine t e oc s o s m , e with us ran off scream ing, and alarmed the whole village. WO next walked quickly away into thecanal, running under the Charbagh, in which I fell several times, o w i ng . to my shoes being wet and slippery .and my feet sore. The shoes were hard and tight, and had rubbed the skin off my toes and cut into the flesh above the heels. In two hours more we were again on ilk; fight direction, two women in a village we passed-laving kindly helped us to find it. About two o'clock we reached an advanced picket of Sepoys, who told us the way, after asking where we bad come from and whither we were going. I thought it safer to go up to the picket than to try to pass them unobserved. Kunoujee Lall new begged I would not press him to take me into Alumbagh as he did not know the way in, and the enemy were stronglyposted around the place. I was tired, and in pain from the shoes, and would therefore have preferred going into Alumbagh, but as the guide feared attempting it, I desired him to go on to the camp of the Com mander-in-Chief, which he• -said was near Bunnee (a village 18 miles from Lucknow) upon the Cawn pore road. The moon bad risen by thi3lime, and we could see well ahead. . By 3 o'clock we arrived at a grove of mango trees, situated on a plain, inwhiph a nian. was 'sing ing at the top of his voice.

We satisfied the guard that we were poor men travel ling to Umroula, a viliage two miles this side of the chief's camp, to inform a friend of the death of his brother by a shot from the British entrenchment at Lucknow and they tc ld us the road. They appeared to be greatly relieved ondiscovering that it was not their terrible foe, who was only a few miles in ad vance of them. We went in the direction indicated by them and after walking for half an hour we got in a jheel or swamp, which are numerous and large in Dude. We had to wade through it for two hours up to our waists in water, and weeds, for before we found out that wo were in a _Neel we had gone too farto recede. I was nearly exhausted on get ting out of the water, having made great exertions to force our way through the weeds, and to prevent the colour being washed off my face. It was nearly gone from my band , t. I now rested for 15 minutes, despite the remon strances of the guide, and went forward, passing between two picquets of the enemy who had no sentries thrown out. It was near four o'cl.ock in the morning when I stopped at the corner of a tope or grove of trees to sleep for an hour, which Kunoujee Lall entreated I would not do, but I thought he overrated the danger, and, lying down, I told him to sec if there was any one iu the grove who would tell him where we then were. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. The commissioners appointed by the Lord Bishop of Chester to investigate the charges made against the Rev. R. A. Gent, curate of the Rev. Dr. commenced their inquiry yesterday, at the Chancellor's Court, St. George's HalL The commissioners were—the Revs. C. A. Thurlow, Chancellor of the diocese ; J. Wood, Archdeacon of Chester ; Archdeacon Jones of Liverpool, T. G. Leigh, Vicar of Walton, and J. Stewart, Rector of West Derby. The commission alleged that the Rev. Mr. Gent was charged by the churchwardens of St. Paul's Church, Toxteth Park, with repeated acts of in toxication in the vestry, and in various other places, during 1856 and 1857 ; there were also charges of improper familiarity with the female who cleaned the church, and with his own servants. Mr. Deighton (barrister) appeared on behalf of the churchwardens. He disclaimed all hostility on the part of Dr. M‘Neill or his wardens. In the course of one of Dr. M`Neill's absences from home, rumours had arisen as to Mr. Gent's conduct, and, on an interview between the rev. doctor and Mr. Gent taking place, the former advised his curate to seek another sphere of labour, to which Mr. Gent at first acceded, but afterwards changed his mind and, after a correspondence with the bishop, Mr. Gent wished an inquiry to be instituted. Elizabeth Powell, the first witness, stated that in November, 1856, Mr. Gent called her" into the vestry, and, after telling her that he must give her something fur attending to his fire, presented her with half a sovereign, and then took certain in decent liberties with her. Tula witnessed stated that Mr. Gent, on the occasion referred to, was the worse for drink. Cross-examined by Mr. James, Q.C., on behalf of Mr. Gent—She bad been employed in cleaning the church ever since it was opened. Although she did think Mr. Gent's conduct was very wicked, she said nothing about the lib er ti es h e had taken for a long time, notwithsmtanr.diGn asions coney e ulpit eovne several Sunday, oee whe g n en sh h t hrs Gad gdaughterin ray e w hin t the i.l, and at other times, but in 1857 he had refused to give her money.

S he was servant of all work, and had to wait at table. Mr. Gent used to tread was ou her toes w h en s h e holding the plate by his side. Could nut say how many times that conduct was repeated, In July, 1856, Mr. Gent, his wife, his children and witness went to spend a day at Eastham. They took their dinner on the grass, and while there, and within a few yards of his wife, Mr. Gent put his hand up her clothes and took hold of her leg. She recollected on one occasion Mr. Gent's coming home SO intoxicated as to be unable to walk straigh'. On one occasion when witness was carrying one of the children upstairs her master followed her and put his hand up her cl _thes and took hold of her leg. Cross-examil.),ed by Mr. Jameq, Q.C.—She was not married bat..had a child 8 years of age. Mr. Gent bad reproved her for being absent from church, and she went and gave her mistress notice ; but before the notice expired Mr. Gent dismissed her at an hOur's notice for impertinence to her mistress. She had written a letter to Mrs. Gent complaining of that lady's not giving her such a character as she wished.
