wo state that Captain Moresby (as we understood) would be ready to disprove the evidence which he wtould give on the subject. He (Mr. Irving) was thell and intimately acquainted with every part of coe case, and he was sure that the Hon. Baronet peuld triumphantly clear his conduct from the as thrsions cast upon it. Ile did not think it fair ca u pe part of the Learned Gentleman opposite, to get to and relate a tale of horror as he had done, and no dove-tail it into a question with which he had thing whatever to do. The occurrence of which spoke took place in the West Indies, and had thing to do with the Mauritius. Mr: BROUGHAM wished to explain, that lie ti referred to that occurrence, merely in reply to obaetvation from the lion. Member for Newton, that he never intended to make it matter of arge against the Hon. Baronet. Mr. IRVING was happy to hear that explara tion. The Hon. Member proceeded to advert to the publications of the Anti-Slavery Satiety, and more especially to the Anti-Slavery Reporter, and he asserted that more false, scandalous, libellous, and disigratelkil publications had never been issued from ttiee iktitish Press. Mr. FERGUSSON conceived that it was cer tainly rather hard that this charge should have been left hanging over the head of the Hon. Baronet during the space of three years ; and he thowilit it unfair on the part of the lion. Member for Wey mouth, to anticipate that the charges would be made out and proved on the future investigation of this ease. Mr. WODEHOUSE had been also a member elf the Committee, and the impression which the evidence had made upon his mind was not favour able to the Hen. Baronet. Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, that the Hon. Baronet's anxiety for inquiry was a presumption in his favour; and he trusted that the Hon. Baronet would be able to dear his conduct when that in ”uiry came on. lie vindicated the Anti-Slucery Reporter against the attack of the Hon. Member for Bramber (Mr.lrving),and he contended that the comparison which that Hon. Member had drawn between the rase of the woman Hibner and Mr. Moss did not hold. In the one case the criminal was of the lowest grade in society, and she had ttuffered the extreme punishment of the law, amidst the execrations of the population of this metropo lis. Mr. and Mrs. Moss were in a more elevated rank in society—they had received the benefits of education—they had been only sentenced to three, or at most to six months' imprisonment for that which was morally speaking a murder, and all the respectable persons in the islands say, the Governor in his despatch, had petitioned for their release, and gave their attestation that the conduct of these minals—of these murderers—had been generally humane and praiseworthy ! Sir G. MURRAY said, it was highly desirable that this inquiry should take place as soon as pos. Nible, that the conduct of the lion. Baronet, if in nocent, should be cleared op, and that his guilt, if he really were guilty, should be fully established. It should be recollected that the geographical posi tion of the Mauritius had rendered it extremely fa vourable for the carrying on of the slave trade, and that the Hon. Baronet had, in consequence, en countered a proportionate degree of difficulty in put ting it down. Mr. SYKES contended that the evidence already produced went strongly to substantiate the charges against the Hon. Baronet. After a few words from Mr. C. PELHAM and Sir R. FARQU lIAR, the motion was agreed to. Mr. F. BUXTON moved for copies of certain papers illustra , ive of the condition of the slaves in the West Indies.—Agreed to. The same Hon. Member presented five petitions from Chipping Norton, Stoney Stratford, Stroud, add two other places, praying for the abolition of suttees in the East Indies. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from an individual in Herefordshire, who had been confined for a long period for a small debt, and who prayed the blouse to institute an inquiry into the law re garding imprisonment for debt, with a view to its revision. Mr. HUME wished to know from the Right Hon. Secretary, whether the Law Commissioners intended to apply themselves to a consideration of the laws respecting arrest awl imprisonment for debt ? Mr. PEEL had not forgotten the conversation that had taken place on this subject. He had since communicated with the Commissioners on the sub ject, and he stated that if they had any doubt as to the extent of their powers, he should introduce a Bill to extend their commission, so as to enable them to comprehend this subject within their deli berations. The Commissioners stated in reply that they were at present occupied with a subject of great importance, and that as soon as their investi gation on that point should be completed, they would apply themselves to the consideration of this stihiect. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from a Mr. Turner, in Edinburgh, complaining of certain alleged abuses in the practice of the Scotch Courts, and praying that a Court of King's Bench and a Court of Common Pleas should be introduced there upon the English plan. The Hon. Member ex pressed his belief that the Courts of Law in Scot land and their practice were equally as good, if not better than the Courts of Law or the practice in this country. He (Mr. Brougham) began, he would confess, to despair of seeing any good whatever from the labours of the Law Commissioners. When a most obvious and simple improvement was pro. posed, every species of difficulty was thrown in its way, so that it must be ultimately abandoned. He night instance the Bill for fixing the terms, the rea sons for withdrawing which for the present Session must be known to the Right Hon. Secretary oppo site. When he (Mr. Brougham) suggested that obvious and simple improvement in his speech about a year and a half age, the Right lion. Gentleman said that a short Bill might at once be introduced for the purpose of fixing the Easter Term. But now, at the end of a second Session, they were as far as ever from attaining that desirable object, fur the Bill for that purpose had been most unaccount ably withdrawn; and unless a vigorous effort were made at the commencement of the next Session, that improvement could not be carried into effect until 1831. Mr. PEEL had eertainlylseen connected with the introduction orthe Bill to which the Hon. Member had referred; but that with the postponement of it he had nothing to do, nor did he know any good rea son for that postponement. Mr. BROUGHAM did not intend to throw the blame at all upon the Right Hon. Secretary; it at tached to other quarters.—The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from an individual named Stanfield, an attorney's clerk, in Rochdale, complaining of abuses in the practice of t to law. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that in the present thin state of the House he should not present the petition from Birmingham respecting the distress of the country ; but he now begged leave to give no tice that he would present it to-morrow (this day).' Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from Colonel Bradley, complaining of the treatment which he had experienced in the transaction with Colonel Arthur, and praying for redress. Mr. Huste and Mr. J. WOOD strongly supported the petition. The petition was ordered to be printed. On the motion of Dr. PHILLIMORE,it was ordered that a list should be made out of the applications made to the Commissioners under the Church building Act, for the building of any chapels, under the 3d section of the Act of Bth Geo. IV. c. 72; and also of the instances in which any such appli cations have been acceded to. Mr. a CAVE rose to move a resolution that the children born of slaves in the West India colonies after 1830 should be deemed free. m r .Bi to mmit, Sit; J MIXS MACIUATOSIA, 4114 F. BUXTON, recotnmeuded the Hon. Member to withdraw the motion under existing circumstances. Mr. 0. CAVE declared his determination to per severe. Mr. R. GORDON (as we understood) moved that the House should not proceed to die considera tion of the mo;ion. The frallery was tLen cleared for a division ; but ►,one took place, as, on the suggestion of several Hon. Members, Mr. 0. (.'AvE agreed to postpone his motion till to-morrow, ►with the understanding that it should then positively come on. PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

On our return to the gallery, we found that the House had resumed the adjourned debate on the further consideration of the report of the above Bill. Mr. HUNIE said, that the ecclesiastical courts were nests of sinecures ►vhich ought to be abolished. He should therefore oppose the farther progress of the measure. Sir J. NICHOLL said that the Hon. Member was altogetLer misinformed on the subject. As to sinecures, certainly his office %vas not one; and with resi;ect to salary, the Judge had none, he was paid by fees. The fees paid in the Court now were the same as were paid in 1734, and were extremely light upon individual suitors. The highest fee was 7s. 10d. and that was the fee fur sealing an administration. It vas only in the aggregate that the fees were large, In the case of the late Mr.Farquhar, the Judge was occupied for a fortnight reading the evidence; the argument of Counsel lasted four days ; the Judge was occupied four hours in delivering his judgment, —and for this the Judge received a fee of 1/. having previously received the fee of 7s. 10d. on sealing the administration.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. A. DAWSOisi observed that the ecclesiasti cal courts called for reform; the stalls of the Au gean stable required cleansing. After a few words from Mr. PEEL, Mr. J. WOOD, and Mr. TRANT, Mr. HUME persisted in. dividing the House; when, there appearing to be only 22 Members pre sent, an adjournment of course took place at a Quar ter to Eleven o'clock.

On Saturday morning orders were received on board his ',Majesty's ship Gloucester, 71 guns, Captain STEWART, guard-ship at Sheerness, to be got ready for sea, and sail to the Great Dore, to wait for further orders. It is expected she will sail this day —Maidstone Gazette. When BELzoNt's widow erected tke exhi bition of the Egyptian Tomb modelled by her husband, she opened it the day previous to the public exhibition, for private inspection. Amongst those who attended was the late Dr. You xc, the antiquary. A titled lady, a Leader of the ton, seeing Dr. Youxc standing in the tomb, came up to him with a quick step, and exclaimed, " Come, Doctor, explain everything !—tell us all about it !" " Oh, 'Madam," said the Doctor, bowing, " this is a place to make learning modest." When :Madame MARA and her husband (who was a celebrated violoncello player) were at Berlin, it came to the ears of FREDERICK, at whose Court they were retained, that MARA had been beating his wife. In deed, she bad been prevented from appearing before his 31.4.7E5ry in consequence of the unseemly results which her husband's discipline had produced upon her flee. On this occasion the K ING sent for MARA, and having severely rebuked him, said, " As you are so fond of healing, Signor MARA, you shall have enough of it;" and be bent him to one of his regiments for a month, compelled him to act in the capacity of a drummer.— Court Journal. DIPLOMATIC ETIQUETTE.—The presence of a French Duke of Royal blood in London has given ris! to some awkward coutretems ; inasmuch as the represen tatives of the two great Emperors at the Court of St. James's, considering it infra dignitatum to yield to that Prince their right of presidency, have uniformly declined to meet him at the grand dinner parties given for the pur pose of welcoming his Highness to this country. We have heard that this is orthodox doctrine, and in consequence of it that Prince L- lately absented himself from a Royal dinner, wishing to avoid every chance of being placed in a situation to ceder le pas to the ducal guest. Prince who attended on the occasion, probably from not knowing better, was obliged to give way to the Royal Duke, and thus the representative of an Emperor was made to follow the representatative of a collateral branch of a Royal family. Prince L- saw his error when it was too late, but has since made amends for it, and imi tated the example of his better informed colleague.-- Court Journal. THE STAGE.—There are few professions ili which persons retain their mental and bodily vigour longer than in that of the Stage. We know not to what exactly to attribute it, but the fact itself defies con tradiction. Perhaps it arises from the absence of the cares and anxieties which attend the pursuits of other professions, and from the happy insouciance by which actors and actresses are frequently characterised. Let us look, for instance, at Drury-lane and Covent-garden : There is Mr. Jos - es, now more than fifty years of age, playing with all the gaiety of eighteen; BRAHAM, who is getting on for sixty, as fresh in voice, person, and manner, as when he was forty; and You NG, also nearly sixty, who, although he no longer looks young, is as young in his profession, as to vigour and energy, as when he was thirty. There is HARLEY, too, no longer a chicken in years, yet like a frolicsome kitten in his acting; and GATTIE, who lass been old GATTIE these twenty years, as young on the stage now as when the name of old, from the range of characters which he fills, was first given to him.—Then, at Covent-garden we have CHARLES KEM BLE, nearly sixty years of age, as young and as green as when he first delighted the town in Ro meo , and still " an improving actor ;" and Fawcrer, a little worse for wear, but still vigorous, and as leste on the stage as a man of forty; and then old BL SCHA RD (old BLA N. CITA RD these thirty years), as juvenile in appearance as he was twenty years since, and as good an actor as ever ; and Mrs. DAVENPORT, who, though she plays the old woman, is as gay anal as fresh as a young one ; and Mrs. GIBBS, who is—but we will not ssy how old—still playing the chamber-maids with as much sprightliness as ever. We might carry the list still farther, but these names aro suf ficient for our purpose. We may just allude, however, to our old favourite ELLISTON, at the Surrey Theatre, who, after a course of good living which would have killed any other man than a stage actor, is playing the Rangers and Doricourts with as much ease and freedom as when the town ran after him some thirty years ago. Really the old age of these persons is, indeed, a green one. How different from that of the Pvrrs, the CoarNawas, and the WELLINGTONS ! Who would not be an actor ? Who Would be n Minister ? LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1829. It is confidently rumoured in well-informed quarters that an offer has been made to Lord ALTIIORP to join the Cabinet—and that a nego- elation is at this moment on foot for that pur pose. There are other rumours afloat con nected with this affair, which we do not feel our selves at liberty at present to notice. A desultory debate took place last night in the House of Commons on Mr. F. BUXTON'S motion for copies of certain papers connected with the state of the Slaves in the Mauritius, and the Report of the Committee ap pointed to enquire into the condition of the Slaves in that island. Mr. F. BUXTON stated, among other things, in justification of the necessity of his motion, that the Slave Trade had been carried on in the Mauritius under the government of Sir R. FARQUHAR. This called up Sir R. FARQUHAR, who stated that he courted the strictest investigation into his conduct. Mr. BUXTON'S motion was ulti mately agreed to, after some strong remarks by Mr. BROUGHAM on the subject of a late atrocity, with regard to the treatment of a female slave that took place in the West Indies, the perpetrators of which were reported as being in their general conduct humane and praiseworthy! The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 27th of May has been received this morning, from which we extract the following : Faoat THE DANUBE ; MAY . 4 1.-IThe report published by some Journals of an intended levy of recruits in the Rus sian empire, in the proportion of eight men to 500 souls, may, with the more reason, be pronounced to be unfounded, as no event has hitherto occurred, or is to be expected, with any degree of probability, which could give ground for so enormous a levy, which would be truly alarming for the peace of Europe. The losses which the Russian army sustained in the last campaign are- pretty nearly ascertained. The levies of recruits which have since beets made arc sufficient to make them good two or three fild, even if we take into consideration the amount of the new levies, which usually takes place berore the recruits are in corporated with the army. As for contingencies that may be expected, the occurrence of such is by no means so urgent that to provide against them Russia should he reduced to such an expenditure of strength and money, the replacing of which would, at all events, be very proble matical. With all due respect fur the philanthropic notions, which deserve some regard on account of their source, we cannot look on the present campaign in any light but that of one of the usual wars with Turkey, which the northern neighbours of the Ottoman empire have waged against it for centuries past, and there is every reason to suppose that this is the view taken of it by the great European. Cabinets, who therefore will indeed by no means relax in their endeavours to restore peace in the East, but will probably not be induced to risk still dearer interests, so long as the object is not worth the means, or till no other choice is left. We therefore believe that we may assume two things—first, that the war will continue this year, and next that the Russian armies, whatever confidence we may entertain of their brilliant exploits, will not obtain those almost supernatural advantages, with which some writers, who forget that wishes and hopes do not always become facts, flattered themselves last year to their own great disappointment. The Prussian State Gazette of the 29th May, the Austrian Observer of the 24th, and Brussels Papers of the 3d inst. have been re ceived. The Greeks have taken the castle of Romelia, and Missoloughi was expected to sur render. The English naval force was collecting at Corfu, whither Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM was proceeding with the rest of his fleet :- TURIN, MA v 26.—A Cabinet Messenger, who arrived to-day from Naples, has brought the happy news of the safe arrival of our august Sovereign in that capital. FLORENCE, MAY 18.-Colonel Heidegger, in a letter from Napoli of 2d April, confirms the accounts of the advantages gained by the Greeks in Livadia, under Gene ral Church. The Castle of Romelia surrendered on the 26th to the President's brother. Missolonghi was on the point of surrendering. The President writes that the '1 urks have addressed to him their sincere thanks for the conduct of the Greeks, and the strict execution of the capitulation. (The Brussels Papers are chiefly filled with d eta il s o f the King's visit to Antwerp, and other cities of the kingdom.) wAasaw,lllaY e5 .--The coronation took place yes terday with the greatest pomp, and amidst the joyful accla mations of the people. VlEti NA, MAY 24.--We learn from Corfu, that in the night of the 8.1 May, the IViudsor Castle and Wellesley, arrived there in six days from Syracuse. Admiral Mal colm was expected at Corfu with the Asia, and two other ships of the line, and several smaller men of war, and it was supposed that he would sail with the ships assembling there to the Levant. Some think Admiral Malcolm will go from Naples to Zante, at which island all the other ships would meet, and then proceed together to the Levant. German Papers of the 29th May say that Lord HiATEIBURY is making great exertions for inducing the Russians to raise the blockade of the Dardanelles. It is said that 120,000 Russians are to pass the Danube : TRIESTE, MAY 22.—A ship has arrived here in e!evrn days from Navarin, tv:iere there were still suite ships of war, ch7efly French. It is sail, that Smyrna is blockaded by the Russian squadron, and that it has warned off fm ty ships with provisions, and sent them to Syra and the Morea. _ _ FRONTIERS OF POLAND, 3ar 10.—It is slid there hate been active negotiations between Lord Heytesbury and Count Nesselrade respecting the blockade of the Dar danelles; that his Lordship, by order of his Government, requires the raising of the blockade, as injurious to the commerce of all Europe with the Levant, and unauthorised by the Treaty of the 6th of July, or in the subsequent ar rangements. Count Nesselrode is teported to have an swered, that the state of war existing between Russia and the Porte, and the wish to induce the latter to yield to the proposals of the Allied Powers, and thereby restore peace to Europe, had necessitated the measure and justified its continuance. That the Emperor had nothing more at heart, than to join in the efforts of England and France to effect a desirable peace in Europe, founded on the former treaty, and as far as is compatible with the honour and in terest of his empire. BUCHAREST, 11IAV s.—Our new campaign is opened. According to the Russian accounts 120,000 men are to pass the Danube. The troops look very fine. The Turks are said to be strengthening all the approaches to Silistria, for three 1 .agues round. Shutnla seems impregnable, it cannot be approached till eleven outworks are taken.— Numbers of workmen are employed in making the ways over the Balkan passable. The only feLture of novelty in the French Papers is the following, which Don MIGUEL would be most happy to subscribe to :—" A report is in circulation of a projected marriage between the Duke DE CHARTHES and the Princess of Brazil, called Queen of PORTUGAL. It were much to be desired that this marriage should really take place, for then the little Princess would be excluded by the very positive laws of Portugal from all claim to the throne of that country."

The plaintiff was porter to the Angel Inn, and his wife was chamber maid, and both had borne an excellent character previous to their marriage, when they opened a lodging-house in New-inn-buildings, Walters still continuing in the service of Mr. Eames, of the An gel, to whom, in consequence of some disagreement, the defendant (who lived next door to them) sent a letter, stating that he must indict Walters for the conduct of his wife in keeping a disorderly bowie, and alleging that Mrs. Walters and other women had been in the habit of addressing men from the windows, and inviting them in, and stating that a lodger of his own, named Mokny, had been with others so invited. The Learned Counsel concluded by declaring the falsehood of the above allegations, and calling John Eames, who deposed, that he formerly kept the Angel Inn, St. Clements. The plaintiff and his wife were both in his employ before they were married, Walters for ten or twelve yea's, and his Wife as chambermaid for four years ; they had al ways behaved themselves well, and witness had never beard any complaint against them, till he re ceived the letter produced from the defendant on the 16th October, 1828. It stated, that the writer was pestered by the family of Walters, against whom and his wife the defendant said he should be obliged to prefer an indictment for keeping a dis orderly house. The plaintiff kept a lodging-house in New Inn-buildings, next door to the house occu pied by the defendant. The indictment was tried at Westminster. Mr. Doane was in Court but not examined. Defendant first complained verbally of Walters' wife, but was requested by witness to put his statement in writing. Cross-examined by - Mr. TnEsslGEß—Knew Mr. Doane intimately, and had received favours from him. Previous to October he was at Cheltenham ; witness discharged Walters from his employment in consequence of defendant's letter, but Walters was after the trial reinstated by the request of Mr. Doane, who before the trial begged of witness to exercise his influence on Walters with regard to his house. The rccord of the acquittal of James Walters and his wife, at Westminster, on au indictment for keeping a disorderly house, was put in. James Molony stated that he lodged with de fendan►, but had seen nothing improper or indecent on the part of the women, although he had seen them speak to persons from the windows, but had not heard the - words spoken. Robert Wallis was in October, 1828, in the ein ploy of Mr. Evans, law stationer, whose windows were opposite the plaintiff's. Had never seen others, or been himself invited, into the house by the wo men. At the trial the Jury acquitted the plaintiff and his wife, before they had finished their defence. John Compton (also with Mr. Evans) Thomas Jeddar, John Holdaway, Charles Webb, Isaac lies, Samuel Jones, Thomas Wells, and 'William Sims, (lodgers in the house), were called to prove the general propriety with which the house was con ducted. Between twenty and thirty other witnesses were called to prove the same fact. THESSIGCR (Mr. Brougham having declined, as he was not present at . the commencement of the case) addressed the Jury in reply. He con tended that the defendant bad shown, by the course he had pursued, the absence of all malice against the plaintiff. Instead of circulating the scandal as a person instigated by malice would have done, he merely wrote to Mr. Eames, • whom he bad well known a confidential letter, • and requested him to exercise his - influence in restoring that order which he was intbrrned had in his absence been broken. The case was proceeding when our Reporter left. COURT OF, COMMON PLEAS. • LIBEL.-=DE CRESPIGNY V. WELLESLEY. (Before the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) This case for a libel was specially appointed for to-day. The Court was not so much crowded as might have been expected, nor did we notice any persons of distinction there. As the trial proceeded, however, the Court became more crowded. Mr. THESSIGER opened the pleadings. Mr. Serjeant WILDE addressed the Jury for the plaintiff. lie had the honour of appearing as coun sel for Sir William De Crespigny, the representa tive of one of the oldest families in the kingdom, and who had felt himself obliged to appeal to this Court for justice and redress against one of the greatest injuries it was possible any person could conceive. The defendant was Mr. Long Wellesley. The cause of the complaint was, that Mr. Wellesley had procured the publi cation of certain lett-Irs reflecting on Sir Wil liam De Crespigny, imputing to him incest and adultery. Sir William was advanced in life, being upwards of sixty-five, and at this period he was compelled to call on Mr. Wellesley to show that there was some foundation for so foul a charge, or if Mr. Wellesley could not answer that, the only alternative left was to ask, at the hands of an Eng lish Jury, compensation in damages for so foul and wanton an attack. He thought the Jury in this case would have many advantages beyond those usually pre sented in cases of this description. They would have the author of die libel before them ; they would have his own views and motives for the publication. The two ladies, the Misses Long, who were sisters to the late Mrs. Wellesley, had thought it right to institute certain proceedings before the Lord Chancellor, for the purpose of ascertaining who were the proper persons to have the care and education of the chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. Wellesley. A decision had been come to by the Court of Chancery that Mr. Wellesley was not the proper person to have the ' care of hie children, arid it would seem that.the Lord Chancellor thought the Misses Long were. Nothing remained but the carrying of the judgment of the Court into effect, unless Mr. Wellesley could terrify those whose duty it Would be to institute proceedings for that purpose, and thereby prevent any thing further from being done. For the pur pose of deterring the Misses Long from doing so, Mr. Wellesley had formed the determination to fabricate the present libel. The persons aimed at were females, and the Jury would be aware how powerful the motives must be which would induce females in a respectable station in life to run the hazard of baring their names mixed up with the foulest slanders. At the time Mr. Wellesley had formed his, determination of attempting to terrify these ladies, they were surrounded by respectable, ho nourable, and powerful persons. Mr. Wellesley's object could probably not be carried into effect, unless he could estrange those persons from him. How was that to be 'done ? It seems to have entered into Mr. Wellesley's mind, if he dragged them forth before the public, and mixed them up with a charge, that that would answer every purpose. Mr. Wellesley was a man of determined spirit, and nothing could restrain him from prOceeding to the utmost with objects he had once set his mind upon. Could the Jury conceive a course of conduct' more im proper, a motive more dastardly, and the means of accomplishing it more disreputable, than those to which he had referred ? It was true the Jury had only his own inferences taken from the documeno,and he was glad of that, because in the earnest ness and zeal with which a Counsel ought to advocate the case of his client, he might too readily look for grounds of charge against the defendant. His Learned Friend, the Attorney-General (Sir J. Scarlett) was Counsel for the defendant, than whom a moi e able advocate never lived. The Hon. Judge who sat on the Bench would take care that no mistake of his should have any weight, or that any statement of his should have more consideration from the Jury than it deserved. He had told the Jury out of what cit . - i ' cum stances the libel arose. He had laid 14°1 re them his own inferences as to the motiv e s 7 l which aZtuated the parties in its publicat iost ' and would now t e ll th e m the m e an d: _.wlticb Mr. W e ll es l e y a pp eare d to have adopts Mr. Wellesley seem s t o h ave b een the intirn a o , friend of Mr. Heaton De Crespigny, th e " !

Crespigny's as to make the strongest impressions in the w e ' w -, cases. Mr. Wellesley being the author of this chill,' the first person to whom he communicate d • determination to make the attack on Sir W i l li Boo De Crespigny and the Misses Long, was Mr. Il ea.- De Crespigny, a nd Mr. Wellesley made a st r f n t g impression on his mi n d th a t h e h a d proofs. of he Lid urged. Mr. Wellesley having thus.impret o Mr. Heaton De CI espigny's mind, and having led " 1 0 to believe t hat pi oof could be adduced, appeared fi l m time to time, from his own statements- - f or had no other means of knowing, and whether tbelr, were true or false, he did not care—to have had 09° , 4 sations with Mr. Heaton De Crespigny, and to IVr, made minutes of wh a t th en too k p l ace . Whe n e, s Wellesley was called up o n t o p rove t h e charge s Court of Justice against an aged parent of incest adultery, he pleaded " Not Guilty" to the ellafli d , Mr. Wellesley knew lie could not prove any tu ll ; and trusted to the powerful talents of the Lear n Attorney-General to uphold him in this Court. It appeared from th e fi rs t p a p er p u t in evdes'i of the data 29th June, th a t M r .
