putting the Kings and Queens on their legs, and feeling them • and that first attracted my attention. He used to deal very slowly, and when the ca r d s were cu t th ere was a sor t of " King cough," as if to distract the attention. lam speak iug row of the " pass" or saltier la coupe. I never played with him willingly after I first observed this. That was about five or six years ago, and I was fully certain that an ace or king was sure to be turned up. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL— I do not think I could do the trick so as to deceive the persons I was playing with. It requires considerable dexterity, hut an hour's practice would make almost any one perfect. I have seen his Lordship do the trick twice of a day, and then an ace or king was invariably turned up. I don't think that he ever turned up any thing else when I was looking at him. I never played willingly with Lord De Roos afterwards, but I sometimes was obliged to do so. I considered I had a good chance of winning the rubber when I had him for a partner. I received the money when I won and paid when I lost. I had no "compunctious visitings " except those of playing with Lord De Roos. I c innot state any particular day, or time, or persons, who were present. The last time I saw him do it, was in March or April last year. I did not mention the matter publicly, because I thought if an obscure individual like myself attempted to say, " My Lord, you are cheating "—if I had denounced a Peer of the realm, and a popular man, I would have had a host of persons upon me ; and I take it as a matter of course, that I would not have had a choice of door or window, but would have been pitched out of the latter. I saw on one occasion a particular ace at bottom, which, after "the cut," should have been in the mid dle, and that ace was afterwards turned up. I mentioned the matter after I had first observed Lord De Roos to Col. Bailey and Major Rainey. Colonel Anson—Was at Graham's in the early part of June. I had a communication with Mr. Payne previously, which made me observe Lord De Roo' more closely. I saw some thing extraordinary in his manner of dealing, but nothing that I could swear to. There was a meeting shortly after the Ist of Jay, at which Lord Bentinck, Mr. B. Greville, Mr. Payne, and myeelf were present. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL objected to any evidence of what took place et that meeting ; and The COURT assented. Lord Henry Bentinck—l was playing whist at Graham's on the 30th of June, with Lord De Roos, Mr. Payne, and another. I recollect Mr. Payne calling for fresh cards. He was loud and noisy. I don't recollect that Mr. Payne played any fresh rubber with Lord De Roos after that. I did not see Lord De Roos play after that. I generally lost. I recollect going to the Travellers' Club with Mr. B. Greville, and speaking to Brown, the accountant. It was in the month of December last, and the subject was marked cards. I have observed something particular in Lord De Roos's manner in dealing ; after the cards were out I have observed the cards separated into two parts under the table. I saw the same thing on a second occasion, in the month of June in the last year. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY- GENERAL—I did not in the J e ast suspect it was cheating, but thought it odd. I have played end betted with Lord De Roos throughout the season, as much es with any other person. I am a member of the New Club, I have never marked the cards. I heard Mr. Payne desire the cards to be sealed. George Payne—l live at Selby, in Northamptonshire. I Was a member of Graham's Club last year, and came to town I think shortly after Easter. I received a communication from Mr. B. Greville, about the 21st of June. I continued to play with Lord De Roos after that communication. I observed his 'planner particularly, and his mode of dealing was sometimes slow and sometimes quick. Sometimes the card that should come to me, would not, but the under one instead. When the cards were cut, he used to draw them into his lap. *I have seen them, afterwards, divided into two parcels, and the bottom card before they were cut, which was 'the ace of clubs, has been turned up. That occurred some time between the communication made to me by Mr. B. Ore ville and the Ist of July. When he got the cards into his lap he used to beat' forward and cough slightly; I observed him cough when dealing, but not at any other time. On another occasion, when looking on I saw the king of diamonds at bot tom before the cards were cut, and that card was turned up. Ile took them into his lap, divided them into two packages, and the result was the turning up of the king of diamonds. I • sent.for Mr. Brooke Greville and Col. Anson, who was an in timate friend of Lord De Roos'. They met me at Graham's, and I sat down with Col. Anson for my partner. We played two rubbers, and lost them both. During the playing and dealing the same suspicious conduct was pursued by Lord De Roos, and neither Col. Anson nor myself ever held an ace when he dealt. On the Ist of July I had a conversation in the balcony with Mr. Greville and Col. Anson. We then sat down to play, and I recollect calling for fresh cards. Before the waiter brought the fresh cards, i selected two aces that were lying before me, and held them up to the candle. I played about an hour after the fresh cards were brought, and I believe more than one rubber. After I had finished playing, I got two packs from the waiter, and have kept them since. I observed some of the aces slightly marked. I did not mark the cards myself. Cross-examined by Sir Was. FOLLETT—I did not contri bute nor have not entered into any engagement to defray any portion of the defence of this action. Mr. Cumming pays the whole so far as J know. I know nothing of the other two gentlemen. In the early part of my career I was very unfor tunate. I lost a considerable sum of money—a considerable part of my patrimony. My ill luck has continued, but it is not quite so bad as it was. I have been a good deal connected with gambling transactions, on the race-course and at cards. I th;nk the night neither myself nor my partner had aces wcs the 30th of June. I played with his Lordship almost every eight down to the Ist July. I should say I Played with him only one night after I saw the king of diamonds. I thillk the date of Mr. B. Greville's communica tion was 21st of June, or a little earlier. I may have had a bet upon Lord De Roos after that; it might have been a standing bet fur the evening previous to Lord De Roos cutting in. I can swear I did not win with Lord De Roos after that evening. I don't recollect betting with Lord H. Bentinck, and not betting with him when he was Lord De Roos's partner. I have kept a hazard bank once or twice, or two or three times at N ew market—that was a private party, and at the request of the gentlemen present. Some one should keep the bank, and it was offered to one, and then another, who refused, and then. I took it. I sometimes won, and sometimes lost. The rea son I continued playing after I detected tho cards marked was to give Lord De Roos a chance—to show him that I had dis covered him, and give him an opportunity of absenting him self, as I had no malice. Lord George Bentinck deposed that he played at the Travellers' Club with Lord De Roos, and never marked the cards. This closed the ease for the defence. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL then rose to reply. After com menting on the contradiction between the testimony of Mr. Payne and that of the waiters, he said this indictment was a most fearful issue for Lord De Roos, whom he had the honour to represent. It was nothing more nor less than, as Mr. Thessiger had eloquently stated, whether he should be re stored to society, and the high position which he had held, or for the rest of his life become a mark for the slow and un moving finger of scorn to point at. No man had ever been placed in circumstances of such hardship as Lord De Roos, when all the circumstances of the case were considered. The secret instigator of this proceeding was not Mr. Cumming. He had come forward gratuitously ; lie might be a well-meaning, but was certainly a eveak_minded man, and only a tool in the hands of the designing. The Learned Gentleman then adverted to the evasion of the Judge's order, and some other points. His Le a rned Friend had stated that it would have been much better for Lord De Roos to have contented himself with a private inquiry. They wanted to have his Lordship forego the advantages Of a trial by jury, the birthright of every Eng lishman. But after the public accusation which had been Spread, not only over all England, but over all Europe, was tt possible for a man of honour —was it possible for Lord 'De Roos, to consent that. that public accusation should be inquired into in a private room ?—No ; he defied his enemies, and brought them forward in open Court before all the world, and he defied them to bring such evidence as Would satisfy twelve honest English Jurymen of his guilt. It had be e n proposed that the private inquiry should have been presided over by Lord Wharneliffe. He was a Noble man of high honour and strict integrity. But where Was it to have taken place ?—After the public accusation bad been made, the proposal was that the inquiry should take Place in a private room at Graham's, or White's, Brookes s, or some other club house—no one would be allowed to hear what the witnesses chose to state upon their mere word. The accused would not have the benefit of a cross-examination of the witnesses, which had been of great advantage in the open court. What were the witnesses who had been produced against Lord De Roos ? All of them professed gamblers— who lived by play—then might they not have motives which induced them to give such evidence as they had done? Lord 1 - ) o Roos was much better satisfied. It was much better both for him and his friends that the whole inquiry should be had in open court. It would be more honourable to him to !rave the verdict from twelve of his countrymen sitting in the j ury b ox, t h an to h ave a report clearing his cha racter from a committee of gentlemen sitting in private. He would ask on which side the probabilities of the case lay—what probability there was in the charge brought against Lord De Roos? H e was a N o bl em an, as admitted on the other side, of much respectability—of high character—of great fortune—esteemed and beloved by all who knew him ; and his Learned Friend had been instructed to admit that he was a man of an amiable and benevolent disposition. It was the first time that he (the Attorney-General) had ever heard that it was compatible with such a character for a man to be in the regular habit o f c h eat i ng at play. By the case on the other side, it was supposed that Lord De Ro os had been systematically guilts , of frauds, any one of which would have ruined his character for ever. It was supposed that he carried on those practices even after warning had b een given to him of the knowledge which his friends had of those practices. It was supposed that he continued those Practices of fraud before the eyes of some of the best players to Europe —the members of Graham's Club. The thing was i mpossible, and it would require a body of proof which would , incontrovertible—which would admit of no equivocation, order to convince the Jury that it was possible for a !loblernan holding such a high station as Lord De Roos to , w ile guilty of s uc h mean practices. The bueden of proof the on the other side ; and if it were not made out to er o d s a sibl w e er t e wt m t a h rk ey ed mi w ghast perfect satisfaction of the Jury, they were bound to end for the plaintiff. That the have od all dispute, but was it not Four marked by some Other party than Lord . tie noos ? , es were of the party—the cards were in other hands, ," 41 those of his Lordship, For instance, they —ere in the ands of Mr. Brooke Greeille, it strong l y Ho would put gIY to the Jury whether it was not ptgisiiii4= 'Pr the - 47 e s whichs of malice and revenge , th a t th e cards with which uil ) played might not be systematically marked. Let THE, SUN, LONDON, kATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1837. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ought not to do such a thing ; and that if any doctor came near Mr. Mackenzie, he would take him and put him out. Salmon then gave her husband twenty-five pills in a spoonful of jelly ; they were No. 1, to compose him to sleep. Salmon told her not to give herliusband anything to eat till he saw him again; he came again about ten next morning. Told Salmon she should have further advice, and complained of his giving too many pills. Salmon told her to do no such thing, and that he would give him 100 pills if he thought proper. Told Salmon that her husband's flesh was falling off. Salmon said he must take off all the flesh, and that he would then rise a new man. Salmon mixed two papers of powders, which he said were pounded pills, and mixed them in cold water, stirred them up, and told her to raise her husband up. Her husband was at this time so very weak as to be hardly able to move. Salmon poured this mixture down his throat ; it did not remain above five minutes on his stomach ; a gaud deal of blood was brought up with it. Salmon saw it, and her husband exe)aimed, "My God he has poisoned me right out." Salmon said there was al ways straggling blood in the iißide, and not to alarm themselves. Mr. Grey was in the house. He asked Salmon what he was. Salmon said he was a doctor, but that it was nut customary for medical men to carry their diplomas about with them. Salmon said he was enrolled in the book of surgeons. Sal mon went away in a very abrupt manner. Salmon came next day. She refused to allow him to go up stairs. Sal mon then forced his way up. Her husband had given orders not to let him up. Salmon ordered brandy and milk to be given to her husband. Her husband shook his head. Told Salmon that her husband could not take it. Salmon said that the milk would kill the brandy and raise his spirits. Her husband desired him to leave the room as he had poisoned him. The brandy and milk was not given. Salmon told her not to call in a doctor, nor to mix any medicine with his. Salmon called again, but witness refused to let him see her hus band. Her husband got worse and worse, and died on Mon day. Salmon at different times represented himself to be a medical man. LIBEL. MORRISON V. HARMER. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Evidence of Sir Henry Halford continued :—He would be surprised if a person's health was restored after taking, 20,000 in two years.--( Laughter.) The science of me dicine was certainly not perfect. Many remedies were now put forth which were reprobated. The pills might cure a man of Hernia. No person. with safety, labouring under that disease, could take 100 at a dose. Dr. Roots examined by Mr. CIA rmsoN—Thought the pills if administered indiscriminately, would tend to affect human life, lie should be afraid to administer the gamboge pill to infants at the breast. To administer the medicine in all diseases would he improper, as there was no remedy in exigence for all diseases. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY-Had never taken any of Mr. Morrison's pills, and should be sorry to do so. Had often administered gamboge with cream of tartar. Had given aloes, colocynth, and other things, but never combined them with cream of tartar. In many cases it would be highly injurious, in others it would not. Taking twenty pills a day would in his opinion be productive of mischief. He would not take them himself on any account.—( Great laughter.) Should not consider it safe to administer the pills to infants at the breast. The pills were not in his opinion a preventive of small pox, piles, or measles. There were some cases of dropsy that might be cured by the pills. He should doubt the effi cacy of the medicine in cure of the stone. It would not be consistent with the safety of life to administer the medicine in discriminately. Sir A. Carlisle—The pills were decidedly unsafe to be ad ministered according to the mode prescribed by the plaintiff. They could not with safety be administered to infants. In many of the cases adverted to by the plaintiff, the administra tion of the medicine would he absurd. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY.—Had never tried the four substances alluded to in conjunction. He had never said that medicine was a science founded on conjecture, and improved by murder, though a witty friend of his had so denominated it. Provided the pills would pass through the body, they might be taken in the large quantities stated by the plaintiff, but he thought no prudent man would so administer them. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—The first dose Salmon presented for her husband was twenty of No. 1, at night, and twenty of No. 2 in the morning. Gave only ten of both pills. Salmon said he was sure that she did not give her husband sufficient doses, as he had ordered. Salmon said this several times, and that he would come himself if she did n o t f o ll ow hi s di rec ti ons . Told Salmon that she was giving the number he prescribed. Salmon told her that if she had given the full quantity her husband would have been sit ting up at the fire. Salmon told her that if she did not give her husband the requisite quantity, he did not expect he would ever rise from his bed. Never gave quite as much as Salmon prescribed: • Dr. Ellioisou—Was confident if the pills of the plaintiff were administered in the way he suggested, they would be most destructive of human life. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—Had never given aloes, colocynth, gamboge, and cream of tartar together. Gam boge would cause great vomiting. Dr. Birkbeck, examined by Mr. MARTIN—Knew Mr. Moat, who was a manufacturer of blacking, which he (Dr. 13.) used, to the detriment of his shoes. He was then teacher of shorthand, and afterwards he knew him as a distiller of French brandy. None of his sons were brought up to tho medical profession. Dr. Birkbeck then corroborated the evidence of Mr. Daniells with respect to all the plaintiffs. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—Since he was in the habit of being intimate with Mr. Moat ten or twelve years had elapsed. The patients would not swallow 100 pills at a time. —(Laughter.) The members of the medical profession were not at all agreed as to the proper treatment of cholera. Dr. Paris examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE—The pills of the plaintiff were any thing but safe medicines and totally unfit to be applied to the disorder for which the plaintiff stated they were a remedy. Mr. Grey said that Captain Mackenzie was a very fine, strong, muscular man. This witness corroborated the evidence of the last witness, as far as he was concerned. Mr. Cummino• (examined by Mr. CLARKSON ), surgeon and apothecary, called ko see Mr. Mackenzie. Saw him profes sionally on the .27th, found him in the most imminent danger, without the least prospect of recovering. The symptoms were so manifest, that they could not deceive any person who knew any thing of medicine. He had the appearance of a person just saved from drowning; he .was quite exhausted. Ho .complained of heat and burning in his stomach. He died on Monday morning. The cause of his death was inflammation of the coats of the stomach, produced by irritating medicines. Gamboge was reckoned not merely a❑ irritating medicine, but an irritating poison. (The examination of witnesses was proceeding when we went to press.) Dr. Hawkins, Mr. Key, and Mr. Marsden, gave similar tes. .imony._ _ _ _ Mr: CAPES then produced the record of Webb's conviction at York, after which Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, a man named Doyle climbed over the railings to the balustrades of one of the Surrey arches of Blackfriars Bridge, and at tempted to throw himself into the Thames ; but, being ob served by a man who was passing at the time, with great difficulty he was rescued from his perilous situation and taken home, where he remained only a few minutes, when he rushed out of the house, and has not since been heard of. Family difficulties, added to insanity, are believed to have been the cause of the rash act. Doyle is a married man with a family, who reside in Roupell-street, Lambeth. On Wednesday forenoon, as eight labourers were conveying a heavy piece of African timber on board of one the vessels building at Blackwall yard, the brow gave way with the whole of the party, all of whom were precipitated with the timber to the ground. Two of the men, by a sudden spring, cleared themselves ; but the remaining six were less fortunate, the piece of timber falling upon them. Four are most dangerously injured, with broken ribs, limbs, and fractured skulls, leaving but a shadow of a hope of re covery. The six poor fellows were conveyed to the London Hospital in cradles, amidst a large concourse of people commiserating their sufferings. M. Van Piaet, ‘vhOse death has been announced The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked if there were many more witnesses, and upon being answered in the affirmative, he stated that he thought the better course would be to postpone hearing the further evidence till to-morrow. (THIS DAY.) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE took his seat this morning at half past nine, and the examination of the witnesses, in this case, was resumed. Mrs. Elizabeth Whippel, examined by M r . CLARKSON.— Was the mother of the deceased Richard Richardson, by a former husband. lie died on the 27th of June, 1834. The day before his death, witness, on returning from Elton, about nine o'clock in the evening, found her son ex ceedingly ill. Webb, one of the agents of the plain tiff was there. On his calling the next morning, she told him her son was a great deal worse, and wished to have medical advice. Told Webb that her son wished to have Mr. Allen, to which he replied that she might do so, but be did not see any necessity for doing so. The hands and feet of her son were cold and clammy, and he was in a very weak state. By the COURT—Her son was JO years old. By Mr. CLARKSON-When Webb found he was worse, he gave him more pills. Did not know of his taking any other medicine but the pills. Some of the pills were left, which witness gave to Mr. Allen before her son died. Witness told Webb that her son had the piles very bad. Webb got him up and dressed him, but he did not sit up many minutes, as he was so weak that witness thought he would have died in the chair. He died about two o'clock in the afternoon. Webb told witness that she had caused her son's death by opening the window. in the Paris papers, was a bibliographer of the first emi nence in nearly all branches of learning. For the last three years his age and infirmities have prevented his active occu pation in the Bibliotheque Royale, but still he was often wheeled about in his chair to superintend the different de partments of the library, and to the last he perfectly re tained his memory, which was' a great resource to all who had occasion to consult him. Only two days before his death, he bequeathed to the public all the fine books he had not previously placed upon the shelves. He has, however, left soma portion of his collection to the city of Bruges, where he' was born—" his first and his last mistress"—as he was wont to call her. His earliest great work, the " Notice of the Manuscripts of the Duke de la Vallicre," in 1783, introduced him to the attention of the learned, and he was Cross-examined by Mr. PIIII.I.IPS—Her son had the cholera in 1833, from which he recovered by taking these pills. Her son died with the small pox. Mary Britten examined by Mr. BODKIN—Was servant in the house where the son of the last witness died. He was ill alto gether about ten days. He was attended by Mr. Webb, the publican, of York, during the whole of his illness. No person interfered with the treatment of Webb. He took no other me dicine but that which Webb gave bite. The pills that were given him appeared to act most violently, and he complained of great pain. He had a rash over the whole of his body, which Webb told witness the pills would cure, and that it would come out no more. appointed to a situation in the Royal Library of Paris of about 70/. a year. He subsequently gradually rose to the head of that great establishment : his active duties ceased in 1834, so that for fifty years he served the public most importantly, and was constantly found at his post of duty by all who had occasion to resort to him. He was made con servator in 1795. His latest work was a catalogue of the books of the ancient library of Charles V. of France. His uneral took placo ou Tuesday. Cross-examined by Mr. ESPINASSE—Webb was the bro ther-in-law of the person with whom Richardson lived. He had taken Morrison's pills on former occasions. Witness had taken the pills occasionally herself. She took nine in three weeks for the influenza. James Hunt, examined by Mr. MARTIN—Was a surgeon at York, and had been so for 9 years. Knew both Richardson and Webb, the latter of whom kept an inn at York. Was sent for to attend Richardson, whom he found in a dreadful state. The small-pox was very much out upon him. Webb was present when witness saw Richardson. Webb told him that he had been treating' Richardson with his pills ; by that witness understood him to refer to Morrison's pills, for the sale of which he was agent at York. The opening of the window that had been referred to could never have tended to put Richardson into the state witness found hint. Witness was present at the post ynortent examination. Part of the stomach was approaching to mortification. Witness attributed this to the excessive use of gamboge and aloes. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—CoId indiscriminately applied in cases of small-pox would be destructive of life. Always administered purgatives in cases of small-pox, which was very prevalent in York at the time Mr. Richardson died. Two of the patients died of that disease, and knew of many instances in which Mr. Morrison's pills had been taken, but never administered them himself. A fine Newfoundland bitch, the property of a gen ieman in this town, a few days ago pupped a litter of nine pups, and the owner only wishin,; to keep two, the remain ing seven were, to all appearance, drowned in a large tub. After being in the water upwards of half an hour the bodies were taken out and buried a yard deep in a dunghill. No further notice was taken of the circumstance until a young man going to the stable next morning thought he heard a squeaking noise, and turning the straw of the dunghill to ascertain the fact, discovered to his utter astonishment the whole of the pups alive, after having been interred nearly twenty-two hours.—Tyne Mercury. A Court of Common Council was held on Thursday, in pursuance of a_requisition received by the Lord Mayor, to take into consideration the introduction of the Poor Law Amendment Act, and the proposed formation of the whole of the parishes of the City into one union. After much dis cussion, pro et con., Mr. Alderman 'F. Wood moved an adjournment of the question, until a Special General Court should be held, which was unanimously agreed to. LETTERS OF JUNIUS.—The Inverness Courier says, that Sir David Brewster, who is married to a daugh ter of the late Mr. James Macpherson, translator of Os sian's poems, has discovered some letters among the papers of his father-in-law, which may lead to the discovery of a great secret—the authorship of Junius. The person who, as Sir David thinks, may be identified as the author, is Lachlan Maclean, the son of an Irish Pre s byt er i an cler gyman, but descended of the ancient Scottish family of M'Leans of Coll. He was, bred to the study of medicine, but became a political writer and adventurer in London, and rose to some eminence. He was once an Under Se cretary of State, in which capacity he might have become acquainted with State secrets. Having been sent out to India by Government in 1776, he was drowned on the pas sage—a circumstance that m'ay account for the non-reveal ment of the secret as to the authorship of Junius. His papers were all lost at the same time. AN IRISH - Stv r iNrir,En.--About seven or eight weeks ago a person of highly respectable exterior and gen tlemanly manners and address, apparently about seventy years of age, and calling himself Colonel Ormsby or Hornsby, engaged a drawing-room and other apartments fin. himself and his servant, who wore livery, at the house of a Mr. George . Fosky, No. I 1 1, Grosvenor-place, Ox ford-road. The old gentleman seldom went out, but dis patched the servant with his orders to various tradesmen in the neighbourhood. He is an old man, and has plun dered the tradesmen to a great extent. He was generally seated in his chair in . the drawing-room, with some fa shionable novel, or recent review or periodical before him ; and he always more a very handsome dressing -gown, a splendid diamond ring, probably worth not less than 201., on his finger, his gold snuff-box on the table ; and seemed to be a gentleman of some property and rank, lie had, too, a very prepossessing manner ; and his oarriage be. trayed the military officer, his accent :the Irishman, and his conversation the man of fashion and the traveller. He would speak with a modest vanity of having dined with his present Majesty, and of his acquaintances and cannot). ' tions amongst the nobility. One day he presented his gold snuff-box to a Mr. Robinson, who, having taken a pinch, observed that the box was a very splendid one. The Colonel thereupon observed carelessly that it was one which the Earl of Mulgrave had presented to him last summer, with a suitable inscription on the lid, one day when he dined with the Lord Lieutenant at Dtihlip At other times he would thiln(iPr 4WAY cluotatious from the of 0 11 A Classics, though Mr. Robinson assured him he could not understand him. On Friday last the Colonel remarked that the day was very fine, and asked Mr. Robinson to return in the afternoon, as he should like to go out, and ho wished him to show him the neighbourhood of Cireenheys, s4e, Mr. Robinson promised to return ; but was prevented by an engagement. Qn Saturday afternoon the Colonel sent his servant out with a oarpet4mg ; and shortly afterwards, saying he would take a short walk, he left the house and never returned ; and it is scarcely necessary to add that his servant did not not find his way back,--11fanchester Guardian. LAMBETH REFORM ASSOCIATION.—A mime rous and highly respectable Meeting of the Members of this Association was held last night at the ilu F p Taycrn 4 Ken •ry . nington, .•.. Dr. Wake examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Had been a physi cian at York 29 years. Was present at the post mortent exa mination of Richardson, who l.ad been labouring under con fluent small-pox. The leading cause of his death was inflam mation of the stomach and bowels, which was very consider able. If be had not known that Richardson had taken Mor rison's pills, he would have supposed that he had taken arsenic or some acrid poisons. Drastic purgatives he would never ad minister in any case of small-pox. Witness attributed the death of Richardson to taking an immoderate quantity of Mor rison's pills. Cross-examined by Mr. Pittuars.—When he was subpoenaed he said that he would do for the pills before he returned to York. Had not come a partizan rather than a witness. Knew that there was a great difference of opinion among me dical men as to the treatment of certain diseises. Many were foolish enough to deprecate vaccination. Some of his patients, to his knowledge, had taken Morrison's pills. The record of Webb's conviction was then put in and read. Ann M'Kenzie, examined by Mr. Bonear4.—Was the widow of Mr. John M'Kenzie, who died in February last year. He was the Captain of a merchant vessel, and was about 32 years of age, and of robust constitution. Before his death witness had a young female named Lane in the house to assist in making dresses for her children. She was then agent for Morrison's pills, in addition to her being a dress-maker. She persuaded her husband to take Morrison's pills, to which at first she bad great objection. A Mr. Salmon spoke to wit ness's husband in favour of the pills, which he said were a re medy for all diseases. Her husband, previous to his death, was much troubled with a pain in his knee, and upon its increasing Mr. Salmon was sent for, who desired him to take Morrison's pills. He ordered ten of No. 1 and ten of No. 2to be taken, the first ten at night and the other in the morning. Afterwards Salmon ordered five additional pills to be taken every day ; on one occasion her husband took as many as 35 pills at a time of No. 1. Witness always gave her husband less pills than Mr. Salmon ordered. After taking them her husband was In the most excruciating pain. Witness felt alarmed,when Salmon told her her husband would soon get better, and not to be alarmed. She told Salmon of the complaints her husband made of inter nal irritation. Salmon told her not to be alarmed, and he would soon be better. Salmon said be was afraid she was giving her husband too much to eat. He said he ate nothing. He told her to give him salt and water to make him vomit. Did not give him salt and water. Salmon told her that the fever would feed her husband without giving him anything to cat. Told Salmon her husband was cold, clammy, and not feverish. Salmon then said there was sufficient in the pill without anything else. Her husband was at this time very much exhausted indeed. He ( Salmon) continued to or der more pills. He came again on the following day, and said he was late, because he had about 50 patients to attend. Her husband was getting weaker, and more irritated in the inside. Salmom told him he would soon get better, and that they were alarmed without any occasion. Continued to give the same pills but always in 103 fillanlitY OM Salmon ordered. On the Tuesday Sall - non ordered oof eaph to be given. The purging =dinged very violent indeed, it in creased in the proportimi with the inckease in the number of pills. There was a discharge of blood, her husband hecame quite jr a deranged state. On the following m orn ing sent for Mr. Qrey, a friend of her husband. Mr. Cumming, a doctor, was sent for on the Wednesday. R4110(1 culled afterwards. Did not tell him that Cumming had bpen thpre. Cemming did not administer any thing to her husband. Salmon ordered tbirtyTtlye pills to bp given on that occasion. tic 3441 that this dose would RQlllpo4e him t 1 sleep, and be would be better in the rnorhirig, salmon came again at night ; told Salmon that he had sent for a medical man ; that be had come, and told her that her husban 1 was in a dangerous state ; and she told Salmon to be on hi • guard. Salmon seemed to be very much put out, and 104 her she, ; them then examine into the character of those who had I been called before them. First of all there was Mr. I Brooke Greville, who had made such a statement as made Some of their (the lawyers') mouths water with his profits of 35,000/. in fifteen years. But, first, he would take Mr. Gra , ham, and he would ask, was he a disinterested witness ? He would not for a moment doubt that it was possible that a re spectable individual might be brought up from his infancy in the world of play without injury to his enoral character, but lie must say that Mr. Graham was not one of that sort. He came, then, as a partisan—with a determination to fix upon Lord De Roos a charge which might save the character of his Club. He would have been very happy in deed to put a few questions to the waiters who had been called in ; ow a previous stage of inquiry they had made application for such an examination, and it was refused by Mr. Graham, though they had asked that the inquiry should be made in his own presence. How was it with the other side ? They haul interviews—they had examinations at all times they pleased. Was that giving fair play ? The prosecutor had all the facilities afforded him of making his charge, while the accused was kept in ignorance of all that was to he brought against him. That was the conduct pursued by Mr. Graham, and he would leave it for the consideration of the jury whether it was not the conduct of a partisan. But that was not all— he distinctly charged Mr. Graham with gross equivocation in giving his testimony—not only so, but he charged him with giving a false colour to the evidence which he gave respecting the dissolution of the Club. The Jury would recollect the manner in which he gave his testimony on that subject. Could they for a mo ment doubt that the intention of that dissolution was not to turn out those who were deep players, as was stated by Mr. Graham, but the intention of that dissolution evidently • was to get rid of a few characters who were disliked by the Club, and Mr. Brooke Greville was one of those whose names were omitted in the fresh list. The criterion was not, as Mr. Graham stated, the deep play, but merely the character which the individual had in the Club. Then there was Mr. Higgins, who had found out certain prac tices at Brighton—there were upon that occasion four players, not ono of whom had been called hut Mr. Higgins, who had con tinued to play with Lord De Roos after that occasion. That was a damning fact to his evidence, for he, as a man of honour, might be the partner of Lord Dc Roos by the chances of the cutting—he, as a man of honour, could not possibly receive any of the stakes which might be won by such practices as he said Lord De Roos was in the habit of. Then came Cap tain Alexander. Why, what was he ? Most decidedly a professed gambler, according to his statement when upon his oath, who made his livelihood by the cards. It cer tainly was not in evidence that he dieted himself upon boiled chicken and lemonade, which he understood was the proper diet for a gambler, but it was in evidence—it was ac knowledged by himself, that he supported himself by his play, and by it kept his station in the world. Anything more daring than the conduct of Mr. Brooke Gre ville he (the Attorney-General) had never witnessed in a Court of Justice. Not only did he speak of himself, but he introduced to them a lady, and he said he invited Lord De Roos and other gentlemen to his villa at Fulham, that they might be of advantage to this lady. He spoke of having lost a sum of three thousand pounds, and this he said with a view of showing that he was fleeced by . Lord De Roos. Notwithstanding this, he continued since 1829, on habits of the greatest intimacy with him. He admitted besides having dined with him saveral times after the 19th day of June, and on one occasion went to his house, in the Regent's park, so eager was he to mark to the world his intimacy with Lord De Roos, that he invited him to his villa ; he showed him his grounds, and he spoke to him most confi dentially of his own private affairs. He (the Attorney- General), therefore, asked, was it not more likely that he, Mr. Greville, was one of the conspirators against Lord De Roos than that he was cheated by him, Tho witness Brown, examined to-day, betrayed the great est anxiety to injure the Noble plaintiff, and he hesi tated to answer questions in order to give greater effect to his assertions. He came there against Lord De Roos at the instigation of Mr. Brooke Greville, who, as the witness stated, made him tell the story to Lord Henry Bentinck. ) No other inference could be drawn from the circumstance than that Browne was an instrument in the hands of Mr. Brooke Greville. The other important witness was Sir Wm. logilby and his account of the transaction showed that either he was deluded as to the circumstances or that he had conceived notions which were not founded on fact. He (Attorney-General) asked why no one spoke of having seen the precise act with which Lord de Roos was charged.— The only other remaining witness of importance was Mr. Payne, who, it appeared, was now in the second stage of gaming. He' was formerly the dupe, now he makes money. Mr. Payne, although he entertained suspicions of Lord De Roos, played with him for a long period after wards ; and if, having a knowledge of his unfair plsy, he did not publicly intimate what he had become aquainted with, but played as his partner, be might have been indicted for a conspiracy, for, upon his own showing, he was a particeps crintinis in the transaction. Upon looking at the case as it was in evidence, the Jury could not fail to observe that Lord De Roos there stood in the situation of one whose mouth was closed—who could not give evidence on his own behalf. Why was not Major Fancourt called to give evidence of the transaction at Brighton ? On cross-examination it came out that he gave it out as his opinion that nothing could be laid, as far as that affair went, to the charge of Lord De Roos. He was not like Mr. Holmes, at Constantinople, or at Copenhagen. He might have been put into the witness's box, to state what he knew of the transaction. As regarded the dealing of the cards slowly, he begged the Jury to recollect the evidence of the surgeon, of the doctor, and of the coacinnaker, who spoke of the infirmity and weakness of the joints with which Lord de Roos was afflicted. The innocent Mr. Brown never saw a marked card, al though he had been a courier, had visited every capital in Europe, and had been so long in the employment of the Tra-. Yellers' Club. He described himself as a librarian. In his the Attorney-General's country ( Scotland) the cards are called the devil's book, and he believed Mr. Brown was librarian, be cause he took care of his Satanic majesty's books and journals. Was it upon the evidence of this person that the jury should find a verdict against the noble plaintiff. He (the Attorney General) willingly bore testimony to the character of Mr. Charles Gre ville, a man of high honour, of great respectability, than whom a purer minded gentleman was not to be found in any society. But of gr. Brooke Greville he was bound to speak differently. It was attempted to include Mr. Charles Greville in the conspiracy against Lord De Roos, in order to avail themselves of the value of his high reputation. The Attorney-General proceeded to comment on the evidence. (The Verdict will be given in a Second Edition, if in time.) COURT CIRCULAR. The Cabinet Council appointed to be held yesterday at the Foreign-office was postponed. A deputation of the London and country soap makers, headed by Mr. Gillon, M.P. ; Mr. Hawes, M.

Kasieram and Toolseram," was dis posed of ; and their Lordships then adjourned. BRIGHTON-FRIDAY. We are happy to state that their Majesties continue in ex cellent health. The Duchess of Gloucester is convalescent, and the Princess Augusta, who has been indisposed with a cold, is much better. Some years ago our fishermen never thought of attempting to catch mackerel before May or June. This year they have made the attempt with considerable success, and these delica cies of the deep have been cried about the streets at moderate prices. We have to regret that various untoward events have tended materially to injure the season—to damp its gaieties for the higher, and to render it unprofitable for the middle, classes. The seve►e storms at the close of October and November, the snow -storm of Christmas-day, and the subsequent prevalence of influenza, have combined to produce this unfavourable result. We trust, however that the spring will prove more favourable, and that parties who during the winter have curtailed their visits, or deferred them altogether, will be induced to repair to our healthful shores. Dinner parties have been given during the present week by General Phipps and Mr. Basevi, and Lady Fremantle gave a ball on Monday night, which was attended by all the leading fashionables. The execution of the two brothers Condrojannis was to have taken place at Nauplia on the 31st of last month. On the eveninc , before, the executioner was assassinated at his own house by two Greek soldiers. The execution was therefore put off, and it was thought that the culprits would be shot by German soldiers, as had been previously done with respect to the persons condomned to death at Egina. " The punishment of death," observes Elko eorroipoodent, " ought to be carried into execution against such malefactors, and without the least commiseration, as different parts of Greece are at present infested with bands 01 robbers.

MR. S. CRAWFORD, M.P., AND THE ELECTORS OP DUN DALK.—We had the satisfaction yesterday to announce, on authority, that an amicable adjustment of the differences of opinion, which recently existed between the Hon. and Patriotic Member for Dundalk and his constituency, took place or Tuesday last. A conference was held on Chit day, the result of winch will afford great and general satislietion. In the Times of Thursday last, the Dublin Correspondent of that consistent and pure-principled Paper put forth a column fill of most veracious compost, mixed up with an abundance of Joseph Surface-like matter, touching the Dundalk resolutions, that led to Mr. Crawford's contemplated resignation, with some fine-drawn speculations, more strongly marked by silliness than by subtilty, concerning Mr. Crawford's moving principle of action in connexion therewith. A vast deal of labour and ingenuity has thrown away by this premature pi - oceedieg. Had the Times been discreet enough to have waited till to day, not only would the space cf that journal have been saved, but the character of its correspondent would not have been so manifestly compromised. How mortifying must it be to the apostate organ of the Tories to perceive that all its efforts to sow the seeds of dissension in the grounds occupied by the friends of liberty are vain and abortive. All the fine specula tion and elaborate argumentation of the Times' Irish corms pendent are nothing now more than indices of malignant weakness, and are therefore wholly, undeserving of notice. There is, however, one part of this precious production—that which professes to account for Mr. Crawford taking his scat in the House during the debate on Tuesday—so curious that we will give it in the correspondent's own words. It is not a bad specimen of his inventive capabilities. After quoting the followin g passage from Mr. Crawford's letter, " G en tl emen , look out for a representative fit to take the post you desired to assign to me. I shall proceed as speedily as possible to sur render the trust you placed in my hands," our fabulist eon thews : " From this ' as speedily as possible,' it would be expected that the Chiltern Hundreds would forthwith be the Hon. Gentleman's portion. But he proceeded to Dublin, and there a change came o'er the spirit of his dream.' The traitors of the General Association saw that they had gone too far. They saw that the cry which had been raised against their lord and master for tampering with the electors of Limerick, in the case of Mr. 'S. O'Brien, would be strengthened by the course which Mr. Crawford had taken to resent his interference with Dundalk. Something must be done. A pacificator' must be found, and the King's repre sentative was selected as the go-between.' Ever ready with his yes and no,' the dignified Viceroy accepted th e o ffi ce , an d the Banquet-room of Dublin Castle was the place•of rendez-. vous. A dinner,_ party was forthwith invited. O'Connell, the father of his country,' was the first of the guests, and upon him devolved the duty of receiving his lost son' of Crawfordsburn. Lord Mulgrave had seven or eight of the tail' Members at his table. The prospects of the Session were, of course, dilated upon ; the necessity of supporting__ i. e. obeying--O'Connell, was enforced ;:the propriety of gra titude for a recent Vice-regal favour bestowed upon Mr. Craw ford's eldest son, was gently hinted at ; the possibility of Mi nisters requiring all their friends, was not forgotten ; the pro spect of many Castle honours, lost none of its charms; and Mr. Crawford at last consented to go and put his shoulder to the Ministerial wheel, to help it out of the mire." To offer a single syllable in the shape of oorementary on this invention of the enemy would be an offence aeainst the common sense of - our readers. The best answer to the evil minded rigmarole of the Times will be found, we apprehend, in the following resolutions : THE RESOLUTIONS. " At a meeting of the electors of this independent borough, held on the 7th instant, at Arthur's Hotel, Dundalk, " HENRY CORBALLY, Esq., in the Chair, " The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : " Resolved—That in the resolutions which we adopted en the 24th of January last, while we declare that we consider it our bounden duty to use all the influence we possess to main tain the present Government in power, we did not, nor did we intend to controul our representative in the free exueiso of his judgment on the Church. question. " Resolved—That having always placed the highest confi dence in Mr. Crawford, we regret that any misconception of our views should for a moment have existed on his part ; and as he still possesses that confidence unabated, we re quest that he will continue to fill that situation which ho has occupied with so much credit to himself and advantage to the country. " A deputation waited on the Hon. Member with these re solutions, to which he returned the following answer : " Gentlemen,--I accept the continuation of your confidence tendered to Me by the resolution which you have now passed. I will endeavour faithfully to discharge the trust reposed in me, in such manner as to meet your wishes in every way which I can render consistent with the principles under which I became your representative, and I have now great pleasure in volun tarily withdrawing any expression contained in my former answer with reference to the conduct of the constituency of Dundalk, which could be considered offensive to your feelings. " SHARMAN CRAWFORD." Ma. SMITH O'BRIEN AND THF. LIMERICK CONSTITUENCY. —At the last meeting of the Limerick Club, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved—That whilst with unaltered confidence in his integrity, we return thanks to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., for the solicitude with which he has heretofore watched over the inde pendence of our country, we pledge ourselves, that any advice which he may in future impart, will be received by us with that respect which is due to his high character, and that what ever he may recommend shall be made the immediate subject of our most serious consideration." THE CARLOW ..CALGMN REFUTED.— The thrice-refuted calumnious statement pertinaciously retailed by Mr. Clayton Browne, the would-be candidate for Carlow, is now, we hope, at length silenced. It had been asserted so often that Mr. O'Connell called upon the men of Carlow to be ready to shed the blood of their fellow-subjects, that really it would seem that the utterers themselves of the base falsehood had begun to think the assertion true.. The letter of the distinguished pre late whose name is attached to the document, is conclusive. If the Carlow Sentinel and Mr. C. 13rowne have still remain ing any, the least love of truth and fair dealing, they will no longer hesitate to admit their error. The prelate's letter is addressed to E. Haughton and Howard Moore, Esquires. " Braganza House, Feb. 4, 1837. " Gentlemen—l have learned with surprise that Mr. Clay ton Browne has not thought proper to return any answer to the letter 'which we addressed to him on the part of those Gentlemen who entertained Mr. O'Connell lately in this town. This is not what we expected from Mr. Browne's pol;teness and sense of justice. On the authority of a person whom he did not name, Mr. Clayton Browne brought for ward, at a public meeting, a most serious charge against Mr. O'Connell and a numerous assemblage of the respectable in habitants of the town and county of Carlow. He asserted, that Mr. O'Connell called on the people of Carlow to be ready to shed the blood of their fellow-suljects; and repre sented the meeting as adopting unchristian sentiments with applauding cheers. Mr. O'Connell has already repelled this charge with becoming indignation ; and we, anxious to wipe away from our characters an aspersion so false and foul, re quested of Mr. Clayton Browne to enable us to do so, by giving us the name of his informant. It cannot be said that there was any thing in this request unreasonable or disrespectful ; yet Mr. Browne, it appears, thinks it consistent with good manners and with justice to treat it with utter disregard. " It then devolves on us, Gentlemen to vindicate ourselves without his assistance : and, for my part, as one involved in the general accusation, I deem it incumbent on me to declare, as I now do, that the charge of exhorting the people of Carlow to shed blood, made by Mr. Clayton Browne, against Mr. O'Con nell, contains a gross mis-statement of th e words which Mr. O'Connell did really use on the occasion alluded to, and a total perversion of their plain and obvious meaning. I remain, Gentlemen, your very faithful servant, fi E. NOLAN. CARLOW ELECTION.—The election is fixed for this day se'nnight. Poor Bunbury, who was once a Whig, having re mained so long in such evil company as the Squirearchy of Carlow, has at length not only caught the infection, but is let loose on the county, with only Clayton Browne—the most no torious in the county—in lieu of a Bear Leader. Neither 13ruen, however, nor Browne, nor Bunbury himself, expect to succeed. They are calculating on the chances of a petition ; it shall be our business, and will be, no doubt, the bu siness of the men of Carlow, to swell the majority so high as to leave no chance of success, even before an Orange Committee. —Pilot. DUNGARVAN. —Mr. Sheil and his step-son, the candidate for that town, left Dublin to-day to canvass Dungarvan. THE LATE LONGFORD ELECTION.—A Tory protest, in the shape of a petition, has been presented to Parliament against the return of Mr. Luke White. The ballot takes place on the 28th inst. As it appears the Longford election will again be contested, not o n th e h us ti ngs , b ut i n t h e H ouse of Com mons, the liberal members will be false to their own colours, if they allow an exclusively Tory Committee to convert Long ford into a second Drogheda.—Pilot. PROTEST. —The worthy Karl of Shrewsbury, the premier Earl of England, has signed the protest against the resolutions of the illegal weeting held under false pretences at the Mansion Howie, PVALIC MEETTNoS.—At Carberry, Kildare, and other places meetings have been held, and resolutions adopted, con demnatory of tithes and corrupt corporations. THE BLACK Nowrn.—The apathy which existed here has given way to an activity instinct with patriotism. Donegal has boon roused ; and in Londonderry now lives a spirit that will occasion dismay and defeat in the camp of the corrup tionists. UPRIGHT JunnEs.—That upright, eloquent, l e a rne d, an d impartial man, Mr. Richards, so distinguished for the manly avowal of constitutional principle when Attorney-General— no matter who might wince under its applicability—sat to-day as Baron Qrtfiy ENchcquer, Baron Joy did not sit, and it is 4441 wlii 21t again. Great as is the accessio n o f t h e one to Oie judicial bench, what will be said of the ioss of the other ? Nous verrons.—Pilot. A RECEIVER OVER TTIC PROPERTY OF MR. O'CONNELL.- In the Court of Exchequer, yesterday, on the motion of Mr. Sproule, In the cause of the Rev. Mountiford Longfield v. Daniel O'Connell, M. P., a conditional order was granted for the appointment of a receiver over the land of the defendant in Kerry, until the amount of the tithes due to the plaintiff, with costs, &c., should be fully paid and satisfied. A bill had been filed against the defendant in this cause, to which he merely appeared, but did not answer. An order for sequestra tion, and a decree founded thereon, were granted. The ap pointment of a receiver is the next step. Mr. O'Connell has declared in his letters that he will never pay one shilling of tithes I—Mail. Died, on Friday last, at flarefield.

Thursday morning,_ a few mi nu t es a fter eight o' c l oc k, the family . of Arthur Gaywood, Esq., a gentleman residing at Triesta Cottage, New North-road, Holloway, were thrown into the utmost excitement and affliction, by their eldest (laughter, Miss Amelia Gaywood, having attempted to put a period to her existence, by discharging a loaded pistol at her head. It appears that the unfortunate young lady slept in the adjoining bed-room to her parents. At the above mentioned hour, hearinr , a loud report of fire-arms, Mr. G. burst the door open, when he discovered his unfor tunate daughter lying on the bed-side carpet, with a pistol in her hand, in a state of insensibility, the ball having passed the head of the furniture of her bed, and lodged in the ceiling ; it is supposed from the great state of trepidation, 41 which she was, that she could net direct the deadly weapon to her head, which prevented her receiving any in jury. The only cause that can possibly be assigned for the committal of tip rash net, is the sudden departure of a. young gantioinan for India, to whom she was ardently and iaaWouate4 attached.
