0 4eA X .A KE T All D COMKERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices were fully maintained. The sales amounted to 10,700 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market manifested a very quiet appearance, and quotations slightly declined. From the 30th ult. to yesterday, the period that will be embraced in the next Bank of England re turn, as much as 275,000/. or 300,0001. in gold has been drawn from the Bank for remittance to the Continent. That balance-sbest, so far as the item of bullion is concerned, is, therefore, likely to ex hibit an unfavourable movement ; although, perhaps, not to the extent of the sum men tioned- as having been sent away, 13,•cause it is very possible that a small quantity of gold coin may have arrived from the provinces. The delay in the receipt of Australian supplies has necessi tated the bullion dealers to obtain from the Bank the means required for commercial purposes or the purchase of silver on Eastern account. As the steamers now take out a very limited quantity of specie to India, and scarcely any to China, it is obvious that there is very little necessity for buying the metal abroad, the amounts received from the West Indies being almost sufficient. The presumption therefore is that the consignments were prin cipally in liquid a ti on o f mercantile engage ments. They will no doubt continue, but some portion of the remittances from Victoria must soon arrive, and as upwards of a million sterling altogether is advised as being cm route, the bulk of which will be due in the next six weeks or two months, there is every reason to ex - pect that with such a large importation the bullion at the Bank will not suffer any serious duclenaion, provided no new demand for gold akfmald arise. In the first six months of the present year the amount of gold and silver exported from this country was 11,037,2001. against 12,900,3901. in the ea 1110 period of 1857, showing a falling off of 1,369,190/. This is owing to the diminished exports of silver to the East. The Money Market has again resumed an easy an a quiet appearance. After a brief period of ex citement, resulting from the simultaneous payment of a variety of engagements, the demand has re laxed, and the value of accommodation has descended to 21 per cent. The transactions in the market for English Secu rities are chiefly connected with the settlement, an a the late advance in prices is not fully supported. Sy rapt oms of reaction set in) esterday afternoon, and the market now appears rather uncertain. The Bank broker has made a purchase of 30,0001. Re duced Annuities, bat this had little effect upon quotations. Consols have been 95i for money, and 95 a . for the August account ; they are now 90 9-16ths, 11-16ths for the latter. The New 3 per Cents. are 95i- b ; and the Reduced Annuitie., 95e 2.; Bank Stock, 220 to 222 ; Long Annuities, 182 ; India Debentures, 99. The March Exche glum Bills are marked 345. prem., and the June Bills 20s. to 21s. prem. Foreign Securities are moderately active, but prices have, in some instances, declined.

Althoughry on l y twenty-four years of a had se. through the whole Crimean campaign, and latterly accompanied General Franks through the Indian war, and was present at the fall of Lucknow. jlis professional zeal and his many personal good qualities procured him, in no ordinary degree, the esteem and affection of his brother (Arleen, and the announcement of his career having been so early cut short will be received with great pain by many friends in Sco tlAnd.—Scotsman, SCULLERS' RACE FOR 101.—A 1( very exciting scullers' race for th e a b ove amount (5/ . a - s id e ) cam:) off yesterday morning, from Putney-bridge to the New Chelsea-bridg e . 1( The competitors were M. Thornton and J. Campbell, two amateur rowers of -the class denomirated "trades- 1 , men." A re f eree having been appointed, the men got to their station s , C amp b ell winning the toss. They g ot very evenly together at a clipping pace, and were scull and scull t o th e F eathers, when Campbell took the lead, 1 which he maintained to the 0!,1 Swan, when Thornton took it from him, and, after a most exciting contest,w m by about three or four feet. The Union Bank of AuFrrali4have agreed with the 1( Treasury for the loan of 500,000/., guaranteed by the it Imperial Government under as Act o; the last session, for the service of New Zealand, and a considerable por- . f tion of the amount is in course of transmis:iion to the colony.

PARLIAMENTARY COLVIMITEEE (THIS DAY). The committee appointed to inquire into the state of the Thame4 re-a• sembled in room No. 11 --Mr. Kendall in the chair. The members present mere Sir B. Hall, Mr. Ackroyd, Mr. Tite, Mr. Roupell, Sir J. Y. Bailer, Mr. Locke, Lor i John Manne r s, Sir J. V. Shell-y, al.d Mr. R. Stephenson. The first witness examined this morning was Mr. Maugham, a consultation chemist, and lately lecturer at Charing-cross Hospital--I know a part of Mr. Gurney's scheme is to burn the noxious gases arising from the sewage. I have made experiments in this house. I yesterday examined the air of the sewers, and previous to burning the gas I placed a slip of paper which had been subjected to a chemical process in the sewer shaft, which clearly proved the presence of sul phuretted hydrogen, by colouring - the paper. After the gas had been burnt according to Mr. Gurney's plan, I placed a piece of paper similarly prepared, and the result was that the paper came out perfectly white, clearly showing that the gas had been destroyed. The foul air rushed out of the shaft at the rate of 10,000 cubic feet per minute, and I was surprised to find that sewage gas contained 21 per cent. of hydrogen. I think it possible to construct chimneys sufficient to consume the whole of the noxious gases thaturisefrom the sewers of the metro polis. I do not think that noxious gases would be gene rated in the river if mud banks in the Townes were pre vented from forming. Mr. Tite—To what do you attribute the smell that arises from the Thames at high water when the mud banks are severed ? Mr. Maugham—The odour arises from such a numbtr of gases that I think it would puzzle all the chemists in the world to decide from what it arose. Mr. Tite—What in your judgment causes this noxious gas to arise ? Mr. Maugham—l think it is caused by the stirring of the mud banks, which is all brought back by the flood tide. Clause 31 to 41 inclusive were agreed to, wi.l) amend merits. Mr. PALK promed the omission of elauPe 42 After some discussion, Mr ADDERLEY const•nted to its postponement, in order to meet the objections raised to it. Clauses 43, 44, and 45 were agreed to, with amend ments. [LEFT SITTING ] ROUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). Mr. MONSELL moved for returns of the number of pupils on the roll cf all the Irish national schools for the half-year ending the 31st day of March, 1858, specifying the number of each religious denomination, the number of literary teachers and of managers of each religious denomination. Of the names cf all officers in the board's .service in receipt of salaries or emoluments amounting in the aggregate to 100/. per ann um, or upwards; distinguishing their religion, office, and rank therein, and country and town of birth. Of the names of the commissioners of national educa tion in Ireland, with the number of attendances made by each at ordinary, at special, and at general meetings of the Board, ann at special, sub, and finance com mittees, distinguishing the total number of meetings of each kind held, with the number of attendances made by each member at each class of meeting.. Copy ef such portions of the general report of 1855 by Mr. Keenan, Head Inspector, a, bear upon the practice of religions instruction in the national schools then under his inspec tion ; and return of the titles of all books published or sanctioned by the Irish national board, with the names r urns of the Ne h o l e o f the expenditure Consolidated Fu n d or e' of the authors or editors of each work. — The returns were ordered, QUEEN'S COLLEGES (IRELAND).

The return r , az el &red. QUARTERMASTERS. The Chairman—Does the gas bum freely in the fur- nue ? Witness—The gases burn at a low red beat in the furnace, and after combustion the resulting air I found to contain 20 per cent. of oxygen. Sir B. Hail—After the gas he.s been burnt, do you think the whole of the filth remaining might go into the Thames withDut causing annoyance? Witness—The filth Rotnz into .1i t I::.ALIICS undoubtedly wnui,l c-u• e situ., annoyance, but it must be decomposed Sir A. ELTON moved an address for copy of a me morial addressed to the Secretary of Siate for the War Department by quartermasters placed on half pay pre vious to the date of the declaration of war with Russia : and, return of the nave; of cpartermititers who would be entitled to the beutfi's of the Royal Warrant of the 17th day of December, 1855, if the prayer of the memo rialists were granted ; stating the age and length of service, as well as the war services of each of the sail quartermasters. The motion was agreed to. somewhere. The Cbairman —ln which would the sewage undergo decomposition the quickest—the sewer or the river ? Witness—lt would not undergo decomposition so ra pidly in the Thames as in the sewer , owing to the great dilution. The Chairman—What is the offensive sour smell? Witness—The offensive sour smell arises from forma tion of acetic acid, arising from decomposition of vege table mater. The Witness, in answer to fui lher questions, said—l consider the sulphurous acid produced by the combustion is a great amelioration of the atmosphere of London. The applies ion of steam is necessary to facilitate the com bustion of gases. Toe steam forms a sort of flux to the gases by arresting the passages of the gases end giving the flame of the furnace time to e .nsume them. There is no fear of explosion either with or without steam. Mr. Hayward—l have been for 13 years engineer t the City Severs Commission. I have heard of the plan of burning the gas that arises from the sewage. I have made no experiments on the subject, but it is my impression that there will be great difficulty in doing it, if it is possible. to do it all. The difficulty to be over- come would be gigantic, and the cost would be enormous. I cannot give the committee any idea of the cost of such a proceeding—there is no statistics on the subject. The shafts would cost a great sum, but the main expense would be caused in extracting the foul air from the sewers. I think it impossible to ventilate the sewers on the same principle as coal mines, because there are be tween forty and fifty thousand inlets to the sewers o the metropolis, each of which would have t 3 be her. metically sealed in order to accomplish the ob ect. The cost of such a plan would also be enormous. If it was possible to discharge the foul air arising from the sewers at a sufficient height above the ordinary a' mos phere, I should think it would be advisable to do so, but a chemist would be the best person to inform the committee on that point. I don't think it possible to burn the gas arising from the sea era entirely. In al these plans a little is accomplished ; but then the thing to discover is if it can be done effectually, and, if not, whether it is worth while to incur the expense of doing the thing only partially. Mr. Tite—Can you enter the City sewers without danger to human lie Mr. Hayward—l never found any inconvenience in entering the sewers in the City of London. The danger is not from the gas arising from the sewage, but from the leakage of the gas pipes. Mr. Tite—Suppose this plan of burning the gas was carried out, how many of these ventilating shafts would be required for the City of London I Mr. Hayward—l have made no calculation ; but I should think eight at least. Mr. Tite—What is the internal temperature of the City sewers ? Mr. Hayward—With an external temperature of CO the interval temperature of the City sewers would be 62. Mr. Tite—Supposing this plan of burning is carri' d out, do you think the state of the Thames would be improved ? Mr. Hayward—The state of the streets might be ins proved, but there does not seem to me to be the slightest probability that the river would be at all benefitted by such a proceeding. [At this point a steamer was beard too pass. and in a few minutes the room was filled with such a disagree able stench that, on the suggestion of 1.-. rd Palmerston, the windows of the room were ordered to be closed.] By Mr. Tire—The sewers of Paris are not so offensive as those of London because tbe-feculant matter is carted away from the houses in the night. By Mr. Stephenson—lf the burning system were carried out great alterations would have to be made in the present system of sewers. lam aware of a plsn to ventilate sewers by means of the rain water pipes of houses. I have made experiments to test the value of the idea. The result of those experiments was that you got the stink from the sewers at the house tops instead of in the streets, and I dont think it was any improve ment. (Laughter.) By Lord Palmerston—The gases disengaged from the sewers are lighter and sometimes heavier than the at mospheric air, and they rise in obedience to the laws of diffusion. It has been discovered by Professor Graham that if two pbials were filled, one with light gas and the other with heavy, that in time they would mix and become diffused. Supposing the furnaces of Mr. gurney improved the streets it would be of advantage, but I am of opinion the expense would not compensate for the advantage. Chemists would be better able to speak'to that part than myself. By Sir J. Shelley—l estimate the working expenses of Mr. Gurney's plan, after all the works have been-com pleted at 60,000/. 0r160,000/. a year, hut I should not be surprised if it amounted to 100,0001. I don't think, supposing the sewers could be ventilated, according to Mr. Gurney's plan, it would be worth the expenditure of 60,0001. per annum. After a few unimpertant questions the committee adjourned.

WATCII ROBBERY.—Mary Ann Clark was charged before Mr. Thavion with stealing a watch, the property of James Smith, 8, Grosvenor-street, Stepney. The prosecutor, who is a respectable-looking, middle aged person, said be was a seafaring man, and that at ten on the previous night he met the prisoner and accompanied her to a house in Earl's-court. After being there a few minutes he missed his watch and chain, and on searching the room be found the chain on the bed, but bad not been able to discover his watch. The chain had been broken. He accused the prisoner of having taken the watch, and tried to search her, but a goo(i many people came into the room, and there was then an opportunity of passing it to one of them. A eoustable said she had been charged before for felony. The prisoner, w'n it is b,lieved has been more than °Lt.e t ,,, tuwiLted, was remanded. The prosecutor applied for the restoration of the oh ,in. Mr. Beadon refused the application, saying it would be required hereafter. THA THE CONSERVANCY OF THE THAMES.--A clerk from the office of the City Solicitor applied to Mr. Yardley for summonses against three men for throwing dung into the river Thames from the pier -head, St. Kath.-- ent's Dock. Tho clerk said he made the applica ion under the Thames Conservancy Act, whick imvsed heavy penaloes on persons throwing mud, fiitb, dung, or other refuse into the Thatu,:s. The dsng was not fully thrown into the Thames, Mr. Yardley--I wish nothing more than that went into the Thames. The I am instructed to ask for a summons. Mr. Yardley—You are entitled to a sunina,ns ; but I consider it a most inconsisttnt proceeding. Under another Act of Parliament, thothands of tons of refine are pouring into the Thames dailk ; whil.., under the Convervancy Act, a person is Fall, to :t peoalty far throwing mud or dung in small quantiti s. The ces:- pools of the bowies are discharging their contents in one unremitting stream into the Tnatnes, and now a sum mons is asked for against parties who are said to have thrown dung into the river, and they are liable to a penalty., of 301. It is a most inconsiltent proceeding altogether. A summons was then granted. " Count de 'Career," says the Union, "is expected at Paris nest week ; but his visit will have no political character. From Paris ho intends to go to Vichy, to take the waters, as he has already done." EAST INDIA 110 USE.—Yesterday afternoon a Specitil Court of Directors vatis held at the East India ll , cse, Leadenball-street, to approve and confirm the resolu tions of the 29th ultimo, granting a pension of 2,000/. per annum to Gen. Sir Colin Campbell, and 1 090/. per annum to Sir James Outram, for their gallant services in India; and, furthermore, to consider a motion which bad been placed on the notice paper by Dr. Beattie, to the (flea that the pension to Sir James Outratu be con tinued to his eldest son. After considerable discussion, during which several amendments were moved and negatived, the motion for the confirmation of the resolu tions was put and carried: Dr. Beattie's motion was also carried, on a division, by 25 votes against 7. The special business being concluded, the meeting resolved itself into a General Curt of Proprietors to proceed with the consideration of the India Bill. The C-airman stated that it was intended to take the opinion of coun• sel as to what would be the exact status of the East India Company—its powers, privileges, and liabilities— after the bill became law. Toe Court was "counted out," and, only 17 members beieg present, adjourned.

" GUARDIAN"' ANGELS.—At the Wimborne magis trates' meeting on Friday last Jacob Brown, an old wan 68 years of age, very infirm, and euffering from chronic disease, was charged with refusing to support his wife. Mr. Dowdine, the relieving officer of the Cranhorne Union, said that the defendant's wif., Margaret has been relieved to the extent of 13a., and the guardians bad re questel him to apply for a earl ant to apprehend Brown, who had about three months ago sold off all the furni ture be had, his wife having prrviously made away with a portion, and on the day of the sale theyseparated,_ and had not lived together since. The defendant had been working for various peop'e, ea ping lAd. or 1 per day, and it now appeared that Mr. New man, the chair .. man of the hoard of guardians, was willing, is co;Juoc tion with two othert, to employ the defendant at 5-. ner week.

The major, WO re4ret to add, was drowned, but the children were saved. We believe the gallant deceased was at the time a guest of Lord Doane , . STEAM BOILER ASSURANCE COIIPANY.—A company under this title has been estanlished at Manchester, and it is a sine,uler fact that such a company was first sug gested by the late Mr. Thomas Forsyth, whose death by an ozplusiou was announced last week. Mr. Forsyth is said to have attended a meeting of the company only two days halve his death, when he advised an assur ance of lives agaiust boiler explosions in cunuection with the company. It is computed that within a radius of ten miles round Manchester there are more than 50,000 boiler:, giving a total of 1,250,000 horse power. The frequent and heavy losses occurring- through the ex plosion of boilers will, it is believed, induce menufac turera throughout the country to avail themselves of such a meant; of insurance. SALMON FISHINGS.—The Dumfries Courier states that " there was a ckcided improvement in the run of red up the Kith last week, and several excellent draughts were made, by which fine salmon and grilse were brought to land. On Saturday, a salmon weighing about 20 lbs. was secured. '—The Banffshire Journal says " the rains which have fallen during the week having increased the rivers, the salmon fishings in the northern streams have undergone an improvement. Large takes of ealmon have also been got in the bag-nets on the south shore of the Moray Firth." THE FATAL FIGHT AT GRAVESEND.—It Will be re membered that a man called the " Brighton Pet" killed another in a pugilistic encounter, a short time ago, at Gravesend. Some of the accomplices were apprehended, but the Brighton man, whose name was said to be Niorrie, absconded. His name, however, is Best, ano be formerly belonged to the local militia. On Saturday morning our chief officer, Mr. White, received informa tion that Bet wai apprehended on Friday at Ports mouth, and that he was to be' taken to Graveeend, to undergo an examination on a charge of manslaughter.

Mr. ROEBUCK said that all human tribunals were fallible, and, recoenisiug that fact, they allowed a man in a civil case involving a few trumpery pounds to ap peal to the House of Lords, but in a criminal case, where a man was tried for his life, there was but one trial and no appeal. except a review of the case by Mr. Waddington, the Home Secretary's secretary, sitting in his back parlour.

It they gave the power of appeal to a man who could pay for it ; they c uld not with propriety refuse it to a man who could not pay, and the consequence would be that the country would have to pay money to enable the criminal popu lation of the country to endeavour to evade justice. He had no doubt it would be a beneficial change for the legal profession, but he hoped the house would not per mit such an inroad on the administration of justice. He regretted the Home Secretary had given his assent to the second reading of the bill. Mr. DE VERE supported the bill. Mr. EWARr said the appeal in criminal cases to the Home Secretary was an appeal to a court behind a screen, and ought to be abolished, and a proper c nut of appeal established. He cordially supported the second reading of the bill. Mr. BRIGHT disaented from the remarks of the right hon. gentleman the member for Kidderminster. He condemned the system of review now acted upon, and urged that it should be abolished. He was glad to find the Home Secretary assented to the principle of the bill, and he doubted if any gentleman who bad filled that orrice wished the continuance of a system that threw so much responsibility upon them, and in reference to the question of life and death. Sir J. TROLLOPE supported the second reading of the bill. It would to satisfactory to all engaged iu the administration cf criminal justice at quarter seasions throughout the country to know that their decisions were open to review or appeal. Mr. GILPIN was in favour of the second reading of the bill. Mr. ADDAMS agreed with the principle of the bill, and Fhoold vote for the second reading. Mr. HENLEY was not oisposed to negative appeal in criminal case,, but he objected to a man being tried a second time for the same offince. Under the circuta stances he should abstain front vutieg on the motion. Mr. M'MAHON replied. Mr. SPOONER, hoped the hop, member for Sumer setshire would withdraw his amendment. He objected to the bi 1 because it gave a rich criminal the privilege of appeal, but the poor man would be deprive i of it from want of means. Another fault in the bill was, there was no limit to the appeal. He should not vote ou the mo tion. The house divided. The numbers were— For the second reading Against it Majority The bill was then read a second time. On the qaestion that the bill be committed, The ATrORNEY•GENERAL said he was in favour of the principle of the btll. The details were, however, objectionable, and be hoped the bi:l would not be pro ceeded further with this session. (Hear, hear.) Mr. S. WORTLEY hoped the bill would be farther proceeded with this session. After some remarks from Mr. J. D. FiTznimten, Mr. M`MAIION said he would consent to drop the bill for the session, and expressed a hope that her Me jesty'e Government would assist him next session in passing a similar bill. After Kl_1(10 observations from Mr. ROEI3IICK, Mr. WALPOLE declined giving a pledge to the effect required by the hon. and learned member. He was fa vourable to the principle of the hill, but he objected to its details. Appeal ought to be given under certain restraints, but he objected to a man being tried a second time for the same oflence.

The amount claimed way a = . .out 3001. Mr. Sergeant Dallantine and Mr. Garth were counsel for the defendant ; Mr. Huddlesten, Q.C., and Mi. Ru-sell were count-el for the plaii;tiff. The onus of proof of the pleas restA with the de feril,,nt to prove his case first. _ _ Serg.Cillt &llatitine having stated the facts be should rely on, called the fol:owing witnesses : • Mr. John Ellin deponed he now lived at Pin ner. He formerly kept the Pheasant Inn at Char ford. The defendant Lowden came to re?ide in the • ntighbourhood in 1850, and lodged with him occa so;t:.lly. With(s-s had a daughter called Martha. di.tAid*ut afterwards took a house near. He • did LkiioW then of any improper intimacy between thetn, nor d:d he threatu the defcndaut or to kick his daughter out of doors. The &fondant and his daughter left Charford and remained away some plinths ; on their return he believed they took a public-house at Uxbridge, and lived there several years. He frequently saw the defendant after their return, and on one occasion the defendant wriggled himself into his house with a friend and had a drop of gin, when he proposed to provide for his daugh ter. lie had previously threatened to give the defendant in custody for robbing witness's house and running away with his daughter. The de fendant's mother was alarmed., and said his daugh ter would come to no harm, and would be well provided for. He was very angry about the sle- • fendant's conduct. Afte:. the defendant returned witness drew up a palter, which was signed by both of them. The paper was a deed of gift for 501. a-year from, that date. The defen dant, in the docirment, described himself as the son of the late Mr. John Lowden, of Loudon, who was buried ire St. Catherine Crees, London. The defendant and his daughter afterwards resided in a public. house; at Uxbridge, and afterwards they went to London. to reside. He afterwards saw them occasionally driving through Charford in a carriage and pair. _ Cross-examined by Mr. Huddleston His daughter was 17 years of age, and the youngest of the family. When she ran away with the defend ant his, daughter knew nothing of the memorandum at the time it was drawn up. Mr. Lowden was called—He deposed he was the • defendant in this action. In 1850 he went to Char ford to reside. He took a cottage there, and during the repairs he lodged with Ellin. Defendant formed an intimacy with the daughter, and after he went to his house she came to so., Luu. kite ismer 'snow rf it, but he said nothing about it. Defendant left with Miss Edlin, and went to Brighton with her, where they remained some months. He went away with her because her father had struck her several times. On their return he saw the father, who said nothing to him about their going away. The agreement produced was entered into by him. About the time of his giving the agree ment he was introduced to the plaintiff, who said the agreement was not a proper one, and he said be would draw up a proper deed between them ; and the deed upon which the action was brought was drawn up and executed about a year after the first agreement was entered into. After he returned from Brighton, Edlin asked him to settle something upon tile daughter in the event of his death or leaving, which he (witness) readily consented to do. 'the first child was not born before the first agreement was entered in.°. He however was not certain of it. Edlie's daughter lived at Uxbridge two years ; thin they went to Southampton to reside, and afterwards in Eleppel-street, hussell-square. They the:, lived in Coleshill-street, where they separated, he going in the spring of the year to France. His affairs at that time were embarrassed. She fol lowed him to Calais. He remained in France about eight months. She found him in France two months after ho was there. He had no idea of her joining him there. They lived in France together, but ho returned without Ler. It was at the time of his bank ruptcy in November last. Ou his return to Eng land he determined to leave her in consequence of information he received trout his servants relative to Miss Ellin's conduct. Ho then communicated with his solicitor, and negotiations were entered into for a separation. During the time she lived with him she lived in luxury. He provided every tldng she required in France as well as in England. She remained for some time in France with her children. It cost him more than 1,0001. a.year on an average. She had servants to wait upon her, and everything she required. He had given her from 201. to 100/. at a time. Cross-examined by Mr. Huddleston —He did not seduce Mies Edlin. He might put it she se duced him. (Laughter.) He was about 26 years of age at the t.me. Ho was a married man at the time with two children, one six, the other four or live years of age. He did not know what age Miss Edliu was. He could not judge her age. She looked more a woman than 1.7 years of age. It was in consequence of her father striking her she asked him to take her away, and he went with her to Brighton. He had had five children by her. The improper intimacy commenced in her • father's hcuse. She did not know where he was going when he left her. He had not made up his mind where he was going till he got into the train. She found out afterwa►ds where he was gone. He did not desert her, because he !eft ber with every thing. He did write taller to inform her where he was. He did not know if be deserted his wife, or she left him. He let t h3r in Fiance, and that was about all he knew of her. He left his eldest son by his wife with Miss Edlin in France. She had her children there with her. Miss Edlin had a box of jewels. He told Mr. Thompson, his solicitor, to write to . his son John by his wife, to get Miss Edlin's box of jewels and return with it to Eng land. H e instructed him to write to hie son to return with all his property. He could not say for certAinty what was in the letter, or what he told Mr. Thompson to write. He enly wanted his clothes. Tue jewels were les own. Miss Edllll might have wore them. Some of them were his mother's. He I had seen Miss Edlin in the streets since he had left her, but he had had nothing to do with her. He was now 33 years of age. He left his wife for the same cause he had Jett Miss Edlin. Re examined—lie was obliged to go to France to avoid arrest. His solicitor advi s ed him to go there, or he would be put into the Queen's Bench. There were teveral executions against him at the time. [lli brother w,,s arreited and put in prison • tor one of witnes,'s debts the day after he (witilees) left London. He ;:ave iilstruct'ons that all the jewellery belonging to him should be brought to him, and Miss Edlin's were to be given up to him. - They might all be worth 101. or 201. He did not know if she had worn his mother's jewels. Evidence was then given to show that atteMpts bad been made to amicably settle the matter by giving Miss Edlia 601. a-year fur the maintenance of h , rself and two children—the other deed to be cancelled ; or he would give her 501. and take the youngest child himself to maintain. She wished to have the three daughters to maintain, and be paid extta for them. Mr. Lowden objected, because he wished to put the girls to school at Southampton. Mr. L .wden would discharge all debts.and claims then due. She afterwards consented to accept the 601. a-year, but the negotiation went off, as she said she had consulted an eminent lawyer, who had told her there was more than 3001. due to her, and that he would carry it through for her for nothing. Anne Ne wman, servant to Mr. Lowden, deposed that she had lived in his and Miss Edlin's service five or six years. They lived verycotnfortably, and when at Southampton they kept six servants. This was the defendant's case. no l\l t l md r. a i e l.i ol l i d t l h es i t s c e rl aseeoonntetnhdeepdietandeindoe.fendant had Mr. Garth argued there wa s a case to go to the jury, giye n e specially for au immoral theon fourth consideration.plea, that the deed w as His Lordship ruled there was no case to go to the jury, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff for • 2751. with stay of e xecution, to allow an arrangement being made for the future.
