On Monday evening the large room at Burlington House, in which the Geographical Society hold their meetings, was crowded to hear a communication from Captain Maury, of the United States, on the physical geography of the Antarctic Regions. The president (Lord Ashburton) occu pied the chair ; and before the business appropriated fur the evening commenced, he mentioned that another letter had been received from Captain Speke, who is endeavouring to reach the sources of the Nile, and he stated that the Geographical Society were so much im pressed with the importance of sending an armed expedi tion to assist and protect Captain Speke from the hostile tribes in the north of Africa, that the council had,contrary to their usual custom, contributed £lOO for that purpose, and the Foreign-office had contributed a similar amount. It was hoped, therefore, that these sums, added to the pri vate subscriptions, would enable Mr. Consul Petherick to start on his proposed route. Mr. GALTON, of the Foreign-office, read extracts from Capt. Speke's letter, dated the 23d October from Zanguebar, in which he stated that he started on the 25th September with his Rotten tot guard, and that they had proved ex- I tremely useful, though he feared they would not be proof against the influence of the climate, as some of them had already been attacked with fever. Capt. Speke wrote in terms of confidence that he should accomplish the objects of his expedition, and expressed a hope that Mr. Petherick would meet him. Captain MAunv was heartily greeted when he came for ward to address the meeting, which he did in a forcible manner, and only occasionally referred to his notes. He Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Serpent was yesterday undocked at Woolwich, :and the new sloop Rosario, launched at Deptford in Nov, last, was docked in its place, to be prepared for service. The screw steam troopship Himalaya, Capt, S. Seccombe, had her steam got up yesterday (Tues day) morning, in Plymouth Sound, for the pur pose of going into Hamoaze to undergo repair, but owing to the boisterous state of the weather she did not make the attempt. Mr. Thunder, engineer of the Hero, 91, was by sentence of court-martial, on Monday, at Plymouth, dismissed from that ship. The paddlewheel steam store-ship Rh adamanthus, 4, Master Commander F. R. Sturdee, took on board new boats, and proceeded yesterday (Tuesday) from Plymouth for Deptford. The screw steam corvette Charybdis, 21, Capt. Keane, at Devonport, is to be fitted and stored as soon as possible, when she will sail for her destina tion, the East Indies. Having been cleaned and her valves overhauled, she was removed yesterday (Tuesday) from No. 3 dock in Keyham steam-yard, and placed in the lock, preparatory to going into Hamoaze to-day (Wednesday). The screw steam gunboat Porpoise, tender to the Royal Albert, 121, was put into No. 4 dock in the Devonport dockyard on Monday morning to have defects made good. The screw steam frigate Ariadne, 26, Capt. Van sittart, was appointed to be hauled into Keyham basin yesterday (Tuesday), for docking to-day (Wednesday). The hired transport Sultana, having on b oar d 700 tons of stores for Hong Kong, and being de tained at Woolwich about 14 days, in consequ ence of the counter-order relative to the departure of troop of the Military Train undgr orders for China, has filled in with provisions and hospital stores from Deptford, and has sailed from Woolwich for her destination. The men having volunteered for the service from various troops belonging to the Ist Battalion are ordered to be again dispersed through the battalion for home duty. The attention of the French Government having been called to the existence and merits of the Me chanics' Institute and Library in Woolwich Arse nal by the recent publication in. Paris of M. Esquino's historical book, containing some descrip tive and circumstantial remarks on that institution, dotted down during his inspection of the depart- ments of the arsenal last year, Col. Tulloh, superin tendent of the carriage department, has received a parcel, through the medium of the Secretary of State for War in Pall-mall, by order of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon, enclosing a couple of heavy volumes for presentation to the above-named esta blishment, entitled "Journal d'Olivier Lefevre d'Ormeson," published by M. Chereuil, and " Les Documents inedits sur l'Histoire de France," pub lished by M. Charriere. Mr. Fullom, chief clerk in the Royal Carriage Department, yesterday ac knowledged his Imperial Majesty's appreciation of the institute on behalf of the committee in a letter, which was forwarded through the same source, and the volumes are ordered to be bound and to be placed on the shelves of the library for perusal and instruction.

The result had been the collection of upwards of a million observations on the currents of the ocean, the direction of the winds, the temperature, the height of the barometer, and other meteorological phe• nomena, the whole of which Captain Maury undertook to discuss, and some of the results of which he described. He stated that, in pursuing the investigation of the physical geography of the sea, the inquirer is led into the exami tion of phenomena connected with various sciences, which he must pursue to arrive at satisfactory conclu sions. The points to which he especially directed the attention of the meeting were the directions and variations of the trade winds north and south of the equator, and the difference in the temperature and in the height of the barometer. Taking bands of latitude five miles wide from the equator, he found that on the south the direction of the wind in the bands nearest the equator was more southerly than in the bands more remote, until, on arriving at south latitude between 35 deg. and 40 deg., the wind during exactly half the year was southerly, and for the other half northerly. The much larger propor tion of water in the southern hemisphere is sufficient to account for its warmer temperature, and Captain Mau4r supposes the effect to be produced by the greater fall of rain observed in the south. On the coast of Patagonia the annual fall of rain, if estimated from the observed fall during 41 days, must be nearly 12ft., instead of 2ft., as in the neighbourhood of London; and this great con densation of the vapour he assumes causes it to part with its latent heat and warm the atmosphere. The lowest state of the barometer in the southern hemi sphere he did not attempt to explain, but contented him self with mentioning the fact that the average of a vast number of observations shows that the mean height of the barometer .is half an inch less than north of the equator. Beyond 60 degrees south the wind blows generally towards the pole, and this regular current of air Captain Maury attributes to the comparative heat of the antarctic regions. Another curious fact is that the wind is much stronger in the south of the equator than on the north. The frequent appearance of large icebergs in the antarctic seas indicates that there must be land there, for icebergs are never formed at sea ; and he called on the Royal Geographical Society to promote explorations to the South Pole, which might open important resources. He said that the region to be explored, of which we now know no more than of the moon, is only ten days' steam from Australia; and if this country did not shortly undertake to investigate the hidden treasures of the antarctic circle, the United States would "go a-head." Admiral FITZROY eulogised Captain Maury's exertions in promoting the knowledge of the physical geography of the sea, and mentioned some of the important practical results which had been obtained from his labours in facilitating the navigation of the ocean. The Government of the United States, he said, had acted with the utrnostlibstality in supplying gratuitously the 700 quarto volumes of sailing directions, compiled by Captain Maury, and 12,000 charts, which were of the greatest use to all navigators. Captain WASHINGTON was of opinion that little benefit would be derived from antarctic exploration, and he re minded Captain Maury that Cooke, Ross, and other cele brated navigators had already made the attempt. He said that the United States had done less than any other mari time nation in making explorations, and as their whalers were very numerous in the south seas, he advised Captain Maury to recommend his own Government to make the attempt, for he was sure the Government of this country would not. He wished to know what was likely to be found in the frozen antarctic regions that would be worth the !search ? The paddlewheel steam sloop Gorgon, 6, Com mander Bedford C. T. Pim, from Portsmouth, ar rived at Plymouth yesterday (Tuesday), and went into Hamoaze. She will coal and provision, and take the mooring brig Swift under her care, and then proceed to the Cape of Good Hope. The North Star, 22 guns, a splendid screw cor vette, 400 horse power, with covered deck, is being built in the Sheerness dockyard. Her armament will consist of 20 guns, 8 feet 10 inches long, weigh ing 90 cwt. each, and two pivot guns, 10 feet long, weighing 90 cwt. each. Her tonnage will be 1,856 and 82.94. As soon as she is launched a similar vessel, to be named the Weymouth, is to be imme diately commenced. IA TV INTELLIGENCE—Nov. 26. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMO NIAL CAUSES. Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. Justice Wigh man, and Mr. Justice Williams.) THE SHEDDEN CASE-JUDGMENT. Mr. Collier, Q.C., having concluded his reply, the Court, after a few minutes' adjournment, pro ceeded at once to pronounce sentence upon the questions which had been submitted to it. The Judge Ordinary said they had now arrived at the last stage of this very singular inquiry, an inquiry the length and complexity of which had caused the Court to feel in a very considerable de gree the responsibility that rested upon them. There were two or three circumstances, however, which somewhat diminished that feeling. In the first place the evidence had been given somewhat slowly, and so much immaterial matter had been mixed up with what was material that they had had abundant time to consider the weight that should be assigned to the latter. Another circum stance that might have embarrassed them was the fact that the female petitioner had been left for a considerable time to conduct the cause without the assistance of counsel ; but the intimate knowledge which she had displayed with every fact, material or immaterial, connected with the history of her family, and the singular tact and dexterity which she had shown in the management of her case, en tirely relieved the Court from any apprehension on that score. Besides, a portion of the evidence had been given, and the whole had been very ably commented upon by an experienced coun sel. Lastly, the Court felt that the case was not a question depending upon nicely balanced evidence, but it was one upon which they had all been enabled to come to a most clear and unhesitating judgment. The question was simply this :—Had a marriage in fact been solemnised, whether with or without religious rites, between the father and the mother of the elder petitioner before he was born ? During fourteen days the court had had to discharge the functions of jury men ; but they could not content themselves with giving, like jurymen, a simple verdict of aye or no—they felt bound to state the reasons from which they drew the conclusions to which they had come; The facts on which the case turned were not numerous. The evidence given by the petitioners of the alleged marriage was confined to what was called habit and repute ; but they said that at this distance of time it would not be reasonable to ex pect them to supply better testimony of the fact. Now the first question that suggested itself in deal ing with the case was, why should the marriage have been a secret one ? The only reason they had now attempted to suggest was that Mr. Wilson, the father of the bride, objected to the match be cause the difference between her age and the age of Mr. Shedden was too great ; and then it was said that immediately after this secret marriage the parties cohabited together as man and wife, down to the death of the petitioner's father ; that in the meantime everybody knew of it ; and that Mrs. Shedden visited and was visited by the ladies of New York. But what a strange reason to give for keeping a marriage secret ! If Mr. Wilson ob jected to his daughter being married to Mr. Shed den because he was too old, would he be reconciled to the idea of her cohabiting with him without being married so far as he knew at all ? But, again, was this the reason the petitioner had always given ? In 1833 he was in treaty with Mr. Patrick for thepurchase of the Roughwood estate, and in a letter of the 14th June he wrote, "Though I am ' unable to establish my right just now, yet what is known on the subject would not be in your favour. I conceive it my duty to inform - you that my sister told me that my mother was a respectable young person, living with her parents on a small farm on my father's estate, and that he did not publicly acknowledge her on account of hor humble birth, but that he nevertheless treated her as his wife." If that was so, what became of the reason now alleged for the secresy of the match ? This, by the way, was the letter of a man who stated that till 1848 or 1849 he had never had the slightest intimation that any mar riage had taken place until the ceremony which was performed on his father's deathbed. But this was not all. He went on to say : —" Moreover my sister told me in 1829, when she mentioned this cir cumstance tome, that a woman was still living who was present at the private marriage." After these ' two opposite reasons assigned for the secret mar riage, what confidence could be felt in the evidence of habit and repute ? Against that evidence there was the testimony of Mr. Neilson, who declared that Mr. Shedden always passed for a single man, and who was of much greater age than those wit nesses who had been examined on the other side. There was likewise the evidence of John Barr, which, if Barr had not perjured himself, was ex ceedingly strong. If the case had stopped here he (the learned judge) might, perhaps, have felt some embarrassment, though he believed he should even then have held that the petitioners had not adduced sufficient affirmative evidence to warrant his form ing a judicial opinion that a marriage had taken place previous to 1798. With regard to the death bed marriage on the 7th of Nov. In that year, what reason could be ask igncd for taking that step ? It could not, on the hypothesis:of the petitioners, have been taken in order to make reparation for any wrong done to Anne Wilson ; neither could it have been prompted by a religious scruple as to the law fulness of matrimonial co habitait l onwithout the i sanction of the Church, because A r. Shedden well knew that his cohabitat ion with the mother of the petitioner would never again be resumed. What , other cause was there ? It was suggested that the deceased might have thought that a second mar riage might have been easier of proof than the first. But that could har dl y be. All New York, it was said, knew of the first marriage, and Mrs. Shedden visited and was visited by the families of Dr. Bos well, Mrs. Rankin, Mr. Hamilton, Judge Pendle ton, and the other persons of repute of whose acquaintance the petitioners boasted. The deceased might moreover have made a de claration which would have been conclusive. The only other motive for the marriage was the idea that it would legitimate the children whom the parties had had out of wedlock; and that, so long as it suited his case, was the reason assigned by the petitioner himself. He had been continu ally pressing upon his uncle the fact that his father had always intended him to have the Rough wood property, and that he (Mr. Patrick) had basely availed himself of a technical objection to defeat the intention of the deceased. It had been suggested, indeed, that Mr. Shedden had by some means been led to suspect that there would be a, conspiracy to deny his former marriage ; and t1:1 ; to make sure he had had the marriage re-solemnised i ,ll l with ecclesiastical forms. If there really had been such a design, who could have been parties_nPatrick to the conspiracy ? Clearly no one but Mr. John in New York, and Mr. Wm, or Mr. Robert Patrick The Orestes, 21 guns, 400-horse power, screw steam corvette, which was launched in August last, has undergone a trial of her engines, which worked admirably. Her engines are of a new description, called " plunger" engines, and were manufactured by Messrs. Napier and Son, of Glasgow. She is now in No. 3 dock, having her salt water distil ling apparatus fitted. The Orestes is considered one of the handsomest vessels afloat, and is much ad mired as a piece of naval architecture. The Collingwood, 80, sailing ship, is in No. 2 dock, Sheerness, being converted into a screw steam vessel, 400-horse power, and is near completion. The Leander occupies No. 1 dock, and is being con verted from a sailing ship into a screw steam frigate, 400-horse power, having been lengthened some 40 feet amidships. In the basin are the Anson, 91, screw steamship, 800-horse power; Atlas, 91, screw steamship, 800-horse power; Newcastle, 51, screw steam frigate, 600-horse power ; all of which are having their boilers and engines fitted, and are or dered to be brought forward immediately for the first class steam reserve. There are also in the basin the Wanderer, 4, screw steam despatch boat, 200- horse power, and the Virago, 6 paddlewheel sloop, 300-horse power, both of which are undergoing re pairs and being fitted for the first-class steam ordi nary. Orders have been received at Sheerness to prepare the Malacca, 17 screw steam sloop, 200-horse power, for the first class steam reserve, and to hold her in readiness for the pennant. The Cumberland, 70, guardahip of the steam or dinary, Capt. C. F. Schoenberg, has been paid wages under the superintendence of Capt. C. Wise, super intendent of her Majesty's dockyard, and her crew granted eight days' leave. The Miranda, 15, screw steam sloop, Commander H. C. Glyn, left Sheerness harbour on Monday, and proceeded on trial of her engines, after undergoing the necessary repairs, 'which were found to work satisfactorily, Notwithstanding the unfavourable ness of the weather (a strong wind and tide being against her), she attained a mean speed of 8 knots an hour. She was inspected yesterday by Vice-Ad miral W. J. Hope Johnstone, commander-in-chief, and staff, and sailed for Plymouth. The lihrracouta, 6, paddle, Commander W. Wood, whose arrival at Spithead from the West Indies with invalids was reported in The Sun yesterday, hauled down the yellow quarantine flag from her fore yesterday morning, and discharged her invalids to hospital. She will go into Portsmouth harbour this morning. Captain MAURY—Everything. (Loud laughter and ap plause.) Sir LEOPOLD MTLINTOCK confirmed Captain Maury's opinion, that icebergs are formed on land and launched on the water. Sir E. BELCHER was inclined to attribute the warmer temperature of the southern hemisphere to the Gulf Stream, which flows along the whole coast of South America, and even around Cape Horn. Captain JANSEN, of Holland, mentioned that by taking advantage of Capt. Maury's sailing directions the passage from Holland to Java and to Australia had been made in 10 and 16 days' shorter time than by the previous course.: Capt. MAURY replied to the remarks of Capt. Washing ton, observing that he was " stealing his thunder," for he (Captain Maury) claimed Captain Cooke as an American/ (Loud laughter.) The Mersey, 40, screw, Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., lying at Spithead, had the " blue peter" flying all yesterday, and was expected to have proceeded to her destination—the West Indies—but was detained until past sunset picking up stragglers. She was to sail last evening, or at latest, at daylight this morning. After some observations from the President, thanks were voted to Captain Maury, and the meeting adjourned. STATE OF TRADE. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Capt. Sir F. L. 111‘Clin tack, alongside Portsmouth dockyard, has com menced caulking and making good defects to paddle boxes and bulwarks. MANCHESTER, Nov. 27.—There has been a very steady market for yarns, and prices are gradually gaining in strength in consequence of the large business done on Thursday and Friday last for China ; shippers to China have been the chief buyers, but a few considerable purchases have been made for Calcutta. Prices are fully id. per lb. higher than last Tuesday, and the market closes very firm at the advance. There is not much business re ported for the home trade, and the Germans, who had begun to operate at the point of extreme depression, are now holding back. In cloths, as in yarn, a considerable business was done on Thusrday and Friday in fabrics suited to the China trade, at a slight advance on last Tuesday's rates. The letters from Shanghai and other commercial ports, however, do not report the market there as in a very satisfactory state, and it is supposed that the purchases here were of a speculative character. Some purchases were also made for India. Accord ing to letters from Calcutta prices were a little higher at last dates, and a rather more cheerful feeling prevailed. To-day we have not had much business for either China or India, but prices re tain the slight advance gained on China goods. Printing cloths are not so easy to sell at last Tues day's rates. Longcloths and T-cloths only in moderate demand, at last Tuesday's prices. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" On Wed nesday last, owing to the prospect of an easier money-market, there was rather a better demand for goods generally, and the downward tendency of prices was arrested. On Thursday an active de mand set in for 40-inch shirtings and other goods for China, and a large business was done in them at an advance of 14. to 3d. per piece on Tuesday's prices. There is less doing to-day, but this is owing more to the long engagements of manu facturers than to any falling off in the demand. Longloths and T-cloths have also been in more request, and in some instances a slight advance has been realized." LEEDS, 27th.—There has been but a small atten dance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, and the purchases made were confined to small parcels, as they have been for the last few market days. The trade at the warehouses, too, is rather flat, but not more so than is usual at this intermediate sea son of the year. The country clothiers report that they are not brisk, but that they are m o d erate l y well employed. Prices continue steady, and those of wool keep creeping up, but they cannot be quoted higher than last week. ROCHDALE, 26th.—The flannel market has not been very well attended to-day, the wetness of the weather having kept several parties away. The trade, however, was a shade better than last week. The chief demand is for home consumption, little being doing at present by the export houses. Lan cashire and Welsh imitations and Sax on i es are quiet, but dyed goods are very active for the season, and there continues to be a good sale for Yorkshire goods. Prices in general are firm. There has not been much demand for wool to-day, but prices are steady. Upon the whole the operatives in the flannel trade are well employed. The Algiers, 91, screw, Capt. G. D. O'Callaghan, will go out of Portsmouth harbour to-day, and take up a berth at Spithead. The communication between Nos. 7 and 10 docks in Portsmouth yard, now being carried out by the contractors, Messrs. G. Smith and Co., of Pimlico, is ordered to be completed by the Ist of March next, as the docks will then be required by the authorities for the purpose of receiving the Warrior, iron cased frigate, now building by the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company. On the completion of the work, these two docks, by the removal of the central caisson, can be thrown into one, with a total length of 615 feet, the caissons being placed in the sunk grooves at each end. By using the western rebate and the steam basin out side groove for the caissons the total length may be increased to 645 feet. The breadth and the depth will be necessarily very unequal, the new portion, or No. 10 dock, as it is now termed, being of greater depth than No. 7 by five feet, and also of greater width in that portion which will be the nearest point in contact with a ship's bilges. The breadth between the entrance gate piers and the coping will be 83 feet at one end and 80 feet at the other. The homogeneous metal introduced a short time ago in Woolwich factory for forging steam boilers is ordered by the Board of Admiralty to be applied experimentally in the manufacture of chains, links, and similar purposes, and to be reported on accord ingly, after being carefully tested. The entry of additional smiths, metal workers, and foundrymen at Chatham Dockyard, to be employed on the iron-plated war steamer intended to be built at that establishment, is to be suspended for the present, in consequence of the whole of the prepa rations not having been yet completed for commenc ing the huge ship. Additional workshops and forges will have to be erected in close proximity to the second dock, in which she is to be built, but as yet no commencement of these erections has been made. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Henry T. Bogers, to the Jason ; Lieut. G. T. Medd, to the Flying Fish ; Lieut. F. S. V. Meulin, to the Marlborough, additional, for disposal ; R. P. W. Powney, midshipman, to the Jason ; F. J. Easther, mid shipman to the Harier ; J. Sproule, surgeon, to the Ariel ; and Joshua Connolly, acting 3d class assistant .engineer, to the Cumberland.

In the first . ace, was it not probable that such a letter mild have been written by a man in the eiretrnistioices of Mr. Sheddeu ? Was it not likely net in avowing the existence of his son he would writ e t o hi s nephew,. whom he appointed guardian, to bespeak his kindness on behalf of the boy ? But before the letter was written Mr. John Patrick had announced to Mr. William Patrick the deatJa-bed marriage, stating that Mr. Shedden's object in this proceeding was to rescue from a state of bastardy, and introduce into the world, with all The privileges appertaining to those born under the influence of the law, two infant children, one a girl about s i x years of age and the other a boy of about five. The ceremony took place on the 7th instant — i toirtis himevaaismtNe.o.aen i atilimaiicl struggle,lreimitilebivattetdh.e„coAnshllietrtale futther on he said, " liesi l dee the two children men tioned lie has one other, a girl, about 12 years old, by another woman, who is long dead—his very image, but who can reap no benefit from the mea sures adopted, being considered in the eve of the law a bastard. So that Mr. John Patrick distin guished between the status of the two children of Anne Wilson and the child of the deceased by another woman; and it was perfectly clear that he (Mr. Patrick) believed at that time that the death . bed marriage would be effectual for the purpose for which it was said it was designed —namely, for the legitimisation of the petitioner and his sister. What possible object could he have in entering i n t o a conspiracy to write a letter like that ? To Mr. Patrick's letter was appended this postscript : "Nov. 11. In the morning Mr. Shedden gradually approached his end. He has looked into his affairs, and wrote to his friends. He has two important letters to write, and he dies contented. One is to you, respecting his children, &c." So that the de ceased had only one letter to write to Mr. 'William Shedden. The original letter was not forthcoming, but instead of that there was what purported to be a copy of it, attested by John Mills, who had been ascertained to have been a clerk in Mr. Shedden's employment. Another copy of it had come by another ship, also attested by Mills ; and, he would ask, what ground was there for suspecting that Mills, whom Mr. Shedden had actually remembered in his will, would lend himself to so abominable a falsehood as to copy as his master's a letter fabri cated by some one else. The letter began—" MY very dear Nephew, —My long and painful illness must apologise for my long silence. I am now going to quit this world. I have married Miss Anne Wilson, which is approved of by my friends here, and which restores her and two fine children I have by her to honour and credit." The whole pith of the document was in the one word " restores ;" and Mr. John Patrick must have been very cunning indeed to have hit upon a phrase which conveyed so much without making any positive statement at all. If he had fabricated the letter he would pro -1 bably have made it run—" I have hitherto lived Iwith Anne Wilson, but now I:have married her." Then the letter went on actually to tell Mr. Pat rick the name of the boy. The family was one that prided itself not a little on its pedigree, and yet Mr. Shedden had never announced the birth of his heir, as he would no doubt have done if he had had a legitimate son born to him. The letter was quite consistent with the will, and also with the letter of Anne Wilson, which had been sometimes relied upon and sometimes repudiated by the petitioner, jest as it suited his purpose. The original letter, as he had said, was not produced. What had become of it ? Mr. Wm. Patrick said H that he had given it to the petitioner, and that the latter had never returned it, There was some evidence that that was true ; for, in a letter of the petitioner in 1829 he said, referring to some letters Mr. Patrick had sent him, "As I have never seen my father's handwriting, and as it probably con tains his last signature, you will easily believe that it is a very dear relic to me." Mr. John Patrick had said that Mr. Shedden had two letters to write, one of them to Mr. Wm. Patrick, and there was, therefore, every probability that letter referred to was the one sent to the petitioner. Nevertheless, in his petition to the House of Lords, and in his evidence on oath before this cour t, h e had stated that he never saw even the duplicate of the docu ment till 1819. Nor was that all. In one of his letters he was complaining, as it would seem, of Mr. Wm. Patrick's conduct in sending to America to see if the deceased had really married Anne Wilson ; and so he said, " and just to think of you sending to America for a certificate when you had received my father's own letters, telling you of his marriage to my mother." It was impossible to re ' concile that with the petitioner's subsequent state ments. It was quite clear that John Patrick had no doubt but that the deathbed marriage would have been sufficient ; and that John William Patrick would have accepted the guardianship. Rut John William Patrick felt that there was a doubt as to the effect of that marriage, and as he was agent for his brother Robert, who, in the event of the petitioners proving illegitimate, would be the heir, he refused to accept the trust in his brother's absence. Mr. Crawford was the ap pointed tutor. Mr. Crawford, who was a respect. able man, though he thought that the judgment of the Court of Session was a strong one, and one that would be affirmed by the House of Lords, thought it his duty to appeal to the ultimate tri bunal. As to the case having been fairly argued there, no one could entertain any doubt who had read the wonderful, acute, and learned case pre pared by Lord Brougham—the only one he had ever drawn up for the House of Lords. Yet on the mere surmise, he must be charged with having assisted Mr. Patrick to plunder the estate. The charge of fraud against Mr. Patrick having fallen to the ground the whole case of the petitioner must fall with it ; and he (the learned judge) must there fore pronounce that he, William Patrick Ralston Shedden, was not a legitimate child of his father, and was consequently not a natural-born British subject. One word as to the position in which the petitioners were left by this decision. For the male petitioner he could have no sympathy. He might have brooded over his fancied wrongs until he had lost his faculty of judgment ; but the course he pursued had been such as must totally exclude him from sympathy. For the female petitioner, he (Sir C. Cresswell) did feel most deeply. He had no doubt that she had been brought up in a full belief ,of the truth of her father's story ; and from the intimate knowledge which she had shown of every particle of evidence connected with the case, it was clear that she had dwelt upon it for years and years with the unhesitating confidence t of as a dutiful and affectionate child, until it had at t hat become interwoven with her very nature It' sh r e was It t a m s t u o st be be th n e ne co n n f se t q w u n en ti c i e in o g f s. thisjudgmeni n t e o t her P li a s hs ta a i r n as ed sing con vinced by it she would live under sense and conviction that she had s If she was con vinced, remedy—a position sad enough. grievous wrong for which she w h as unable ap t e o ri o o b a ta f i . a a n r whicht to nie u h r a n d and embittered lament overthe conductwould I who for that vin e e course she life had exceeding an ordinary been loved and have latter days of an aged man, whose integrity had been impeached through her instrumentality ; and who had been honoured,. subjected to a relentless persecution which had been carried on by unfounded aspersions and most unjustifiable litigation. Mr. Justice Wightman and Mr. Justice Williams emphatically concurred, and the decree was made accordingly. On the motion of Mr. Q Bov ill 1 .0 ~ the petitioners were condemned in the costs, and certain papers which they had obtained from Mr Patrick in the viele Court of Session,' ordered to be restored to him.

Amongst those visited we found none more deserving a special mention than the products of Mr. J. W. Benson, of 33 and 34, Lud ga t e -hill. Th e beauty and novelty of his designs, engraved on the cases of his watches, which he now appears to give especial atten tion to, certainly surpass anything of the kind which has heretofore come under our inspection. The variety of his stock is something enormous . Not on l y may the connois seur here meet with the most exquisite design, but the utilitarian will find an ample choice of pl a i n watches; while each will find, in the high standing of Mr. Benson as a City manufacturer, ample guarantee of the intrinsic value of the mechanism. Here, indeed, may be found the buyer's desideratum--exce! lenee of desi gn an d pe r fection in workmanship."--Morning Chronicle.—Benson's Illus trated Pamphlet, post free for two stamps, is descriptive of every construction of watch now made. Watches safe by post to all parte of the globe. .1 , _ P DIM CATIONS. • NEW NOVEL by the Author of "MARGARET MAITLAND." No ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., I rTHE HOUSN ON THE MOOR.
