I received no note from any person but the defendant.—[Two other letters from the de fendant to Mrs. Deane were put in; one of them expressed his determination to " protect" her. In the other he expressed himself to this effect—" We have both done lirong, but not criminally so.

NERAL—I went into the plaintiff's service a little before Christmas last, and remained there about two months. I received orders from Mrs. Deane to make up separate beds for her and my master, on Saturday, the 31st of January last. On the follow ing Tuesday Mrs. Deane removed from the house and went to Tottenham. Before she left, I went to the defendant's house, in consequence of being sent for by Mrs. Thomas. This was tivo or three days before Mrs. Deane went to Tottenham. Mrs. Thomas desired the defendant to go down on his knees, arid acknowledge, before ate, that he had acted criminally with Mrs. Deane at Mrs. Rum bold's. Mrs. Thomas was very angry. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—That being. a con fession made under distress, it cannot, I suppose, be taken as conclusive.—(Laughter.) Cross-examined—l had heard of Mrs. Thomas being angry before.

They came there about three times. The last time was on a Sunday. They always went into the room where the bed was.

I did not go to bed. The defendant after wards came to the house. It was then about half past ten. The defendant went up stairs. I told my mistress that he was come. She told me to ask him in. He went into her bed-room, and stayed about twenty minutes. This was die plaintiff's case.

All the defendants were acquitted. DEAN E V. THOMAS. This was an action for criminal conversation Ai he plaintiff 's wife. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the ittin tiff, Joseph GFOotrf Deane, was a person of the...per suasion known by-the name of Quakers. Hokvas married about.nine years ago to the lady whose 'Con duct had given rise - to the present inquiry. Ale fruit .or that marriage liad.been five children. .The plaintiff's age at the time of the marriage was 25 or 26, and the was of nearly the s a m e age . They had'eontinued to reside together down to Ja nuary, in . the present year, and during the whole of that time had been on terms of the greatest 'affec tion, kindness, and harmony. The plaintiff was originally a clerk in a mercantile house, and was married in 1820, according to the ceremony adopted by the Society of Friends. Some time after his marriage, having quitted the merchant's counting house, he took a house in High-street, Shoreditch, at a rent of 1401. per annum, where he commenced the business of a cornchandler and coal-merchant, and he had continued to reside there to the present time. Within two doors of his house the de fendant, William Thomas, resided. He was a medical man, possessing a good establishment, hay ing succeeded a person who had retired from busi ness with a fortune. From the contiguity of his residence to the plaintiff's house the families had become acqw , inted. The defendant had not been originally the medical attendant of the plaintiff's family. Another medical man had attended Mrs. Deane in her accouchements, but the defendant had sometimes been called in to prescribe for the children. In the spring of last year Mrs. Deane had gone to the sea side, and at the same time the plaintiff had no reason to sup pose that any criminal intercourse had taken place between the defendant and her. Her letters to the plaintiff breathed the same sentiments of affection towards him, and the same concern for her children, as a virtuous wife and careful mother always enter tained. Some time afterwards, however, the plain tiff received an anonymous letter on the subject of the defendant's conduct to his wife, and although he at that time entertained no suspicions of the fidelity of his wife, he thought it his duty so far to act upon the letter as to request the defendant to discontinue his visits at his house, telling him that there were persons in the neighbourhood who conceived that he was paying more attentions to Mrs. Deane than were quite consistent with propriety, and therefore he had thought it proper to prevent all further ground for those suspicions. The defendant on this occa sion wrote a letter. to the plaintiff, in which he ex pressed his perfect concurrence in the step that the plaintiff proposed taki ng; an d at t h e sa me time declared that he had never betrayed the confidence reposed in him, and that Mrs. Deane had been most gros6ly slandered, there being not:' the least ground for the suspicions entertained:: The de fendant thus submitted to the exclukion which the plaintiff had pronounced upon him, but it was not long after that the plaintiff conceived that he observed' a change in. the -conduct of his wife, and that she did not treat him and her children-with the. same kindness and attention as she had formerly done ; but still he had no know ledge of any criminal intercourse having taken place. Soon afterwards, however, a communication was made to him by one of the servants in his house, by which he was given to understand that letters had passed from the defendant to Mrs. Deane, and from her to him. The plaintiff then made further inqui ries ; and having discovered one or two letters, which, although they did not import that a criminal intercourse had taken place, yet led him to believe that very improper conduct was going on, he desired that a separate bed might be prepared for his wife. This was done, and Mrs. Deane was shortly after , wards removed by her friends from the plaintiff's house. On making further :inquiries, the plaintiff ascertained that his wife had been in the habit, while he was absent from home, of meeting the de fendant in a house in Thames-street, where a Mrs. Rumbold (who had been occasionally employed in the plaintiff's family as a nurse), resided. He was informed that, during his absence, his wife had been seen to leave the house, and the defendant had been observed to follow shortly afterwards, in the same direction, to Mrs. Rumbold's, where they m e t on several occasions, and passed a considerable time in each other's company, in a room in which there was a bed and no person present. They h a d rema i ne d in this room at one time about twenty minutes, and on two other occasions about an hour. These cir cumstances, when proved, would of themselves af ford sufficient evidence to satisfy the Jury that the object of the parties was a criminal one, and that their purpose had been accriplishod. But there was another circumstance which h a d come to the knowledg e of the plaintiff after the discoveries before alluded to. He had learnt from a fe male servant that on one occasion, whin he had been obliged to go to the country on CONSISTORY COURT, JULY 23. JONES AGAINST JONES. This was an allegation offered by the wife against the husband, responsive to a suit promoted by the latter for restitution of conjugal rights. The allega tion set forth charges of cruelty against the husband, asserting that he had married her merely with a view of getting possession of certain property settled upon her by a former husband, the defendant having been left a widow with three children. Dr. LUSIIINGTON directed the allegation to be reformed and admitted. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY HOYLE AGAINST SCALES. This was a suite for chiding, brawling, and smit ing in the vestry-room adjoining the parish church of St. Mary Stratford, how ; it was promoted by Mr. William Hoyle, one of the churchwardens, against Mr. Michael Scales, a parishioner. The squabble grew out of the animosities between certain of the parishioners and the select vestry w hich has recently been abolished by an Act of last Session. After the case had been argued at some length, Dr. LustuNGToN gave sentence. The question he had to decide was, whether there had been any language or conduct inconsistent with the decorum which ought to reign in a sacred place. Upon the whole he was of opinion that the charge of brawl ing was not proved; but that an act of violence was committed by the defendant. The offence being proved, the Court had no discretion, but must pro nounce the penalty of the law, however reluctant to do so. This was the first time the Court had been called upon to decide the degree of punish ment under the Act of 181.3, which effected an al teration, not in the general view of the statute of Edward VI., but in the mode of punishment. — Under all .the circumstanc e s, he thought a short term of imprisonment would suffice; he should therefore sentence the defendant to seven days' im prisonment, and to the payment of the costs. (It is necessary, in thi s case, t h at t h e E cc l es i ast i ca l Judgeshoeucler certify ary the sentence to the Court of Chancery, in order to its being carried into effect; but from an intimation given by the King's Advo cate, it appears not to b e t h e i ntention of t h e pro te r to call for such c er tifi cate i n t h e present case .) mote The Austrian Ambassador had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yeaterday, at the Foreign-office. MURDER IN FRANCE. The . following are the additional disclosures made by Simon and Cabouat : The day after the sentence the two culprits appealed. At first they appeared confident and tranquil, and seemed to have no idea of their situation ; however, their tranquillity diminished every day, and ere long they manifested a good deal of apprehension. Finally, on last Wednes day Simon and Cabouat besought M. Sanso netti, President of Assizes, to repair to them. At three o'clock the magistrate went to the pris6n. The condemned stated to him their in tention to make " disclosures ;" but no sooner had the word escaped their lips than Simon was seized with a violent attack of epilepsy, and Cabouat fell into dreadful convulsions. It was impossible to take the confession under these circumstances. At half -past seven o'clock in the evening the President returned to the prison. The following is stated to be the sum of the recent disclosures:— It will be recollected what a strong sensation was produced upon the auditory by Simon's declaration, which cast upon Cabouat alone all the infamy of the assassination. As if relieved from a load which oppressed him, Simon ap peared more tranquil after this disclosure, and persons were tempted to believe in his sincerity. However, the two culprits admitted to the Presi dent that this pretended confession had been concerted between them ; and that Cabouat, confidently relying upon being able to prove an alibi, readily consented to the plan. In giving the circumstantial details of the assassination, the two criminals made the follow ing avowals. Cabouat knocked down the un- fortunate Psaume with a stone; afterwards he struck him two blows with a stick. Simon only gave him the third blow at the moment when their victim was expiring. Simon confirmed these dreadful statements, and declared that for five years he was unceasingly beset with entreaties by Cabouat and Madame Psaume herself, who alone impelled him to the crime. After these terrible avowals the criminals again fell into convulsions.—Gazette de France. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Cloa THE LONDON GAZETTE OF THIS EVENING.
