GENERAL ELECTION. LAMBETH. From our Second Edition of last night. This morning being appointed by the Returning Officer o f this borough for the official announcement of the state of the poll, long before twelve o'clock Kennington-common pre sented a scene of great excitement. Mr. Hawes made his appearance on the hustings at half-past eleven o'clock, accompanied by a forest of banners and music. The Hon. Gentleman was most enthusiastically cheered. Upon Mr. Lett, the nominator of Alderman Farebrother, making his appearance on the hustings considerable merri ment was caused in the crowd, from which cries resounded of ..._..._ ..__ _ , " Oh, there you are Lett, but we won't let you alone. We hope you will keep your promise, and give us a good speech this time. If you do, you shall have our votes at the next election. How is the Alderman ? Is he able to get out of bed yet ?" Mr. Tennyson arrived shortly before twelve o'clock in a carriage and four. The postilions were dressed in scarlet jackets, ornamented with the colours of the Right Hon. Gen tleman. Mr. Tennyson, on arriving on the hustings was re ceived with tremendous shouts of applause several times re peated. Mr. HOPE, the returning officer, then came forward, and announced the state of the poll to be as follows : Tennyson Hawes 1,995 Farebrother 931 After the returning officer had declared the election to have fallen upon the Right Honourable Charles Tennyson, and Beejamen Hawes, jun., Esq., IVr. TENNYSON came forward to address the electors amid loud znd long-continued cheering. He said that the time had at length arrived when he received from the hands of the elec tors of Lambeth the only reward which he ever sought for at the hands of his countrymen—their approbation publicly ex pressed.—( Great cheering.) It was his happy fortune to re ceive that testimony through the medium of one of the most enlightened, intelligent, and important communities in the land.—( Cheers.) That community had conveyed their ap probation of his past conduct in a manner most gra tifying and conclusive, by placing him again in the proud situation of their representative in Parliament.— [Great cheers.] They had renewed their confidence in him—.a confidence before expressed, not only on the declaration of his opinions, but upon the knowledge that he would fulfil all the professions he had made, as he had previously done. They had rewarded him for fulfilling those professions by taking him again amongst them—[loud cheers] --by adopting him as one of those organs through whom the elec tors spoke their sentiments in the Commons House of Parlia ment.—( Great cheering.) The electors of Lambeth had placed him in that proud pre-eminence at a period when effi cient counsellors for the public good were more required than at any period in the history of the country.—(Cheers. ) The intelligence that reached him every day from all parts of the country, showed him that the old enemies of the people's good were again at their dirty work, trusting by intimidation throughout the land to check the independent voice of the people in the Common's House of Parliament.— (Loud cheers, and cries of "They shall not.") The decision of the people at the present important crisis will disclose whether the Reform Bill was calculated to follow out the spirit upon which it had been constituted, and whether those who had toiled for many long years in the cause of Reform, and had made sacrifices both of public in terest and private importance on the altar of their country ; the decision of the people on the present occasion would show whether those toils and sacrifices had been made in vain. —(Loud cheers.) It would show whether the arrangements of that measure, standing as it now did, would secure for the people a representation in Parliament, which could and would follow out that great object for which alone the Reform Bill was passed, and those sacrifices made.— ( Cheers.) If, however, it were found that instead of the arrangements being effective, that the Tory clause in the Reform Bill giving votes in Counties to the fifty pound tenants at will, was injurious to the interests of the people—if it were found that there was a want of a due and sufficient protection to electors in giving their votes—if it were found that the men who are in power were deter mined to use the prerogative of the Crown, in order to defeat, counteract, and coerce the people—then it would be the duty of every Englishman, with as much correctness and as much anxiety as he expressed upon the Reform Bill, to demand freedom for the elector in giving his vote, either by the protec tion of the ballot—( Great cheering)—or some other protec tion Isy which the elector could have a free, full, and just, but not an unlimited extension of suffrage, but certainly such an extension of the suffrage as would include all householders, and also the shortening the duration of Parliaments.—( Loud cheers.) Now, what would the Tory Ministry do, if by means of their corrupt artifices they should accomplish a Parliament to suit their own purposes ? Did the electors sup pose that they would not keep it in existence for six years ? (Cries of " Seven,"), aye, for seven ; and what might not be dune in that time ?—[Cries of " the country 'would be ruined.l What would be the protection of the peo ple when such were in power, unless the duration of Parlia .ments was shortened ?—[Cheers.] What would become of the people of England, even with any administration, without clunks of that description—[Loud cheering.] He held it to be a matter of paramount duty and importance that some means should be devised to carry on elections by which men should not be dictated to, intimidated, or driven to the poll like flocks of sheep.—[Cheers.] There should be such a responsibility attached to those who are sent to repre sent the people of the House of Commons, that they dare not b e tray it.—[Cheers.] There were too great objects for the peo ple to have in view in sending their representatives to parlia ment. The first was the redress of their grievances.—[ Cheers.] One parliament might redress grievances and the other increase them.—[Cheers.] Another object was, that political security hereafter, which would maintain the liberties of the country by amending its institutions, from time to time, as the wants of society gradually arose. If such a course was pursued, it would be the means of conferring happiness and prosperity upon the community, and would have the means of preventing those fatal catastrophes which might take place, if the people found their liberties had been invaded.—( Great cheering. ) In stating this, he assured the electors, that his object was to ibuild, not to destroy—to reform, for the purpose of uphold-. iing and preserving our institutions, and to make the people - feel that they had an important power, and in fact that . .the people of England were only subject to such checks as they thought it expedient should exist, for the purpose of preventing them from falling into those extremes which might occur f r om popular effervescence.—( Great cheering.) Let the people know that the King was the father of his peo le. Let the House of Lords know an d feel that the y e x isted only for and by the people and that they were t ru stees only for them.—[Great cheering.] Let the people feel that such was the condition of the Government, and they would have that pride in their institutions, which would generate patriotic loyalty towards the Throne, and would :form the chief power and glory of the country.—[Cheers ] With respect to the local affairs of the borough the electors night depend upon finding him ever devoted to their service— himself and his colleague as soon as they took their seats in the House of Commons would go there in the discharge of their duties, and nothing would pass as far as he was concerned to disturb the unity that existed between them ; such were his sentiments, and such his opinions, but after what had passed the other evening, he felt called upon to say a few words more upon the local interests of the borough. His Hon. colleague, invited he supposed by some expression of his, had laid claim to having performed all the local business of the borough. It -was true that a greater portion of it had been performed by him ; but he asserted, and he called upon his Hon. Colleague to contradict him if it was not so, that he had shewn every anxiety to give him all the assistance in his power in the local interests of the borough.—( Great cheering.) It was natural that his Hon. Colleague should be first called upon. —( Cries of " Hear, hear.) He did not reside in the borough, but he would appeal to the electors assembled if when be had been asked to apply himself to local affairs, whether he had not with the greatest alacrity applied himself to their consideration.—( Cheers.) The only two local matters that he recollected was the Camberwell Poor Bill, and a Bill for the better supplying of water to the district of Lambeth.—( Hear, hear.) Those two measures bad been entrusted to him, he had been Chairman of the Committees on both of them, and on those occasions he had discharged his duties in the way he invariably should do, not looking to the individuals who had brought the measure forward, but to the course best to be adopted for the interests of the whole constituency which he represented. Those two measures were not passed exactly in the shape in which they were introduced, but great satisfaction had been expressed towards him even by the parties who had introduced the measure for the course which he had pursued. According to the statement of the returning officer—he was now at the head of the poll—he was sure that he should be so on Satur day, and the observations he then made had been caused by a supposition that some of the Committee of his Honourable colleague had not acted fairly.—( Cries of " They did.") From what had taken place on the first day of the polling he did not imagine that he should be at the head of the poll ; he was quite sure that all that had arisen was from mistake. Some of his friends had split their votes on Friday. The Committee of his Honourable Colleague felt jealous, and a competition was the result for the high honour of being placed at the head of the poll on Saturday. If his honourable colleague and himself had not split their votes—and be trusted if any Tories were present, they would attend to this—they would have been lifted much higher upon the poll, and would at least each of them have been 1,500 a-head of the Tory can didate--[Cheers.] That startling fact, he thought, would deter any candidate from again coming to the field. If, however, such should be found he would always be ready to draw swords with him. In conclusion he trusted that all which had taken place would be forgotton ; in his opinion a little abuse was wholesome and productive of good. He felt grateful to the electors, not only for the high honour which they had conferred upon him, but for the affectionate kindness with which they had rallied around him on the present occasion, and he should not, to the latest period of his existence, forget to admire the conduct of the electors of Lambeth.—[Long continued cheering.] Mr. HAWES said that he now, for the second time, had the high honour of returning his thLiks to the electors of Lam beth, for placing him in the proud situation as one of their members to Parliament. He thought that the result of the contest was honourable to the cause of Reform and to the elec tors, as chewing that they had confidence in the principles of their former representatives. He would make but a short allusion to what had passed on the hustings on Saturday; he was excedingly glad to find that the natural good feeling and better taste of the Right Honourable Gentleman had been regained by his position upon the poll. He stated -this with perfect good humour to him, and without raffling his own feelings. He could assure the meeting that b e . ,get aware of having :uttered a single word calculated qv \ . —0,„ 8#\...i...... —, * ---\ ... . _..__ -..... ~, to hurt the feelings or detract from the reputation of any ' man ; and in whatever public, contest he might be engaged he I would always follow the same course. It had been insinuated that in some observations that he had made that he had given Alderman Farebrother and his friends offence. He could assure that gentleman that such was very far from his intentions ;_ if he had done so it was in the warmth of excitement, and he trusted that it would be forgotten. Though there might be some differences between his Right Hon. Colleague and himself, he would tell the meeting that they would never damage the cause of public good or that of liberty. He had and ever would maintain his own independence of opinion, and he should never shrink from that. As a proof of that, he would appeal to his past Parliamentary con duct.--( Hear, hear.) No act of his had been against the people's good. He had appealed to the electors of Lambeth whether it had been so or not, and they had given the verdict in his favour.—( Cheers.) On every occasion, when the sub ject had been brought forward of publishing authentic lists of the votes of Members, he had always supported it, considering it as one of the most important docu ments that could be laid before the public ; for by that, and by almost that alone, the constituents of every Member knew the course he was - pursuing.—( Cheers.) When the subject of reducing the overgrown establishment of the Irish Church was brought forward, he was at his post advocating so important a measure. He would tell his Right Hon. Col league that a great number of the electors of the borough felt extremely hurt at the expressions he had made use of on Saturday.—( Cries of " Yes, yes," and " No, no.") All that he bad to say on that subject was comprised in a few words by an old English poet— . 'Whilst danger lasteth, kindness was professed — That danger passed, the short-lived union ends, The road divides, and so divide the friends." The day was not quite over, and he still hoped that all ill feeling would subside. All private feeling ought to be put on one side, but he was not bound to forget upon that hustings what had passed.—[ Hisses.] Whist on the hustings he was bound to maintain the course he had adopted, he was not going from those hustings to carry away any political feel ings which would injure the cause of the people ; but on the hustings he was not going to flinch from any contest or opposition that could be brought against him by any person. He respectfully thanked the electors for the honour they had , conferred upon him, and whenever they found that he was not representing them, they had only to call upon him, and he would instantly resign his trust into their hands. Mr. LETT then came forward, amidst much confusion, to return thanks for Mr. Alderman Farebrother. In the course of Mr. Lett's address, the half of which was not heard in consequence of the noise and confusion which prevailed, he ascribed the defeat of Mr. Alderman Farebrother to the coali tion between Mr. Tennyson and Mr. Hawes. Mr. TENNYSON again addressed the electors in consequence of the observations which fell from Mr. Hawes relative to the conduct of himself and his Committee, advocating in strong terms the course they had pursued, and deprecating the state ments of Mr. Hawes. Mr. HAWES defended the conduct of himself and his Com mittee, and denied any coalition with either of the other candidates. Mr. PALMER congratulated the electors on the choice they had made. He trusted that all party differences would be forgotton, and nothing would give him greater pleasure than to see Mr. Hawes and Mr. Tennyson shake hands. (Here Mr. Hawes and Mr. Tennyson shook each other most cordially by the hand, amidst several distinct rounds of applause.) Mr. REDHEAD, the Chairman of Mr. Hawes' Committee, also congratulated the electors in the choice they had made, and thanks being given to the Returning Officer, the meeting broke up. Messrs. Tennyson and Hawes were most enthusiastically cheered on leaving the hustings. AYLESBURY. From our Second Edition of last night. The election ended on Friday, notwithstanding the vast and meritorious exertions of the Reformers, in favour of Rickford and Hanmer. Dr. Lee retired early in the morning, resign ing his interest to Mr. Hobhouse, who gained ground on the day's poll, but not enough to retrieve the former loss. The numbers at the final close were as follows : Rickford 855 Hanmer 586 Hobhouse Lee Total number of votes polled 1,192 As soon as the polling was concluded, Mr. HOBHOUSE, who -appeared in excellent spirits, presented himself in the Market place, with his numerous friends, where he was received with tremendous cheering and acclamations by as large a multitude as was ever, perhaps, collected in Aylesbury. So strong was the public opinion in his favour, that it was doubtful whether the successful candidates would venture, at that moment, upon the ceremony of a chairing. After some deliberation, it was resolved rather to risk the manifestations of the popular sentiment than incur further expense. The processions, to which the people were altogether indifferent, consequently began to move unaccompanied by either numbers or respectability. Mean while, a scene of an unprecedented character was exhibited by the reformers. Mr. Hobhouse was surrounded by a dense and moving multitude, to the number of at least 2000, who spon taneously collected about his person, and, headed by the inde pendent farmers and tradesmen, marching seven or eight abreast and several ranks deep, absolutely propelled him round the principal parts of the town. The balconies of the houses were crowded with spectators, male and female, whose frequent waving of hats and handkerchiefs gave to the procession an air of victory rather than defeat. Opposite the houses of Mr. Hobhouse's supporters, the cheers were deafening—while loud and hearty groans were given for his antagonists. Messrs. Wing, Terry, Gibbs, Ivatts, and Paynes, came in for large shares of applause. Mr. Rickford, who declined giving his own vote, and many of whose personal friends plumped, though the contest was between Tory and Re former, was loudly groaned at, and the rival bank of Messrs. Medley and Son vociferously cheered. The immense throng finally posted itself under Mr. Stone's balcony, in the Market Place ; whence Mr. Hobhouse addressed them in an elo quent and most determined speech. As soon as he appeared, the Hon. Robert Smith's name was proposed amidst unani mous cheering, and speedily followed by that of Mr. George Dashwood and Dr. Lee, which met with a similar tribute. Mr. Rickford was again considerably hooted, as - were the names of the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel. Mr. HOBHOUSE then came forward and said, Gentlemen —By their disciplined train bands acting under compul sion, the Tories have gained an unhallowed triumph, and confirmed your borough for the present a rotten and cor rupt constituency. To what circumstances this may be attri buted, I shall presently have cause to mention : at present I shall only say I do not grudge them their triumph—we at least have had our ovation. When they can assemble in num bers like these, let them boast. I rely on the people—the only legitimate source of power. I told you I would fight the battle to the last, and I now tell you I will fight the battle again.- -( Cries of " Hear, hear.") The Tories are high upon the poll ; but, if I mistake not, they are low in pocket, so low, that I have it in my power, and will annoy that hated and detested faction with my whole heart, and soul, and strength. Will these men endeavour to boast of a re-action ? Will they say that Aylesbury is not disposed, and by a large majority too, for Reform ? The way to test this is to add the numbers of Dr. Lee to mine, and when you have done this, you will find the Tories in a considerable minority. Ayles bury is and ever must be a Reform borough, if the people be true to their colours, and exert their utmost strength. I have every reason to speak of Dr. Lee in the handsomest terms, and I trust there is not a man among you who is not prepared, and fully disposed, to support him for the county. If the Doctor has erred in this contest, it was only an error ofjudgment ; he was always of opinion that so long as he maintained his course, my cause would be improved whether the course he took contributed to success or defeat, I have every reason to say Dr. Lee acted as an honest man. I wish I could say the same of the personal friends of Mr. Rickford, some of whom have certainly divided their votes with me.—( Hear, hear, hear. )—I mention one of them, a friend of Lord Nugent, Mr. John Dell. Others of them have thought fit to give plumpers to him, thereby showing their hostility to the second reform candidate, you all know when we are in these circumstances, having two reformers in the field, to plump, is to act against the second candidate. Now I will say you have a duty to perform, but you are not dis heartened by this defeat any more than I am, for there are new battles to be fought which I trust are to be followed up by a final triumph. The manner in which I have been received by you is most grateful to me, you have touched a chord in my heart which will respond to the last hour of my existence. When I is - 3e such men as those around me—men distinguished by industry and integrity, what cause have I to grudge this hard triumph of the Tories ? The Reformers have defeated them in almost every part of England, and it will be some consolation to you to know that your Members will be in the minority in the new Parliament. What a cause of triumph to triumph and exult, and still be in a minority !—and so they will—this is very good cause of congratulation for us. I have been attending in the County Hall to-day and my exer tions yesterday have made me hoarse, so that I cannot speak at that length I should wish. But I cannot refrain from touching on the conduct of a man in this borough, Mr. Ryde. I see no reason, when the press turns itself to personality and calumny, that editors and authors should remain anonymous; he has misrepresented me in every part of his description of the day of nomination. I ask him, does he think the Colonel is so spotless that he cannot be touched ? Let him bear in mind the old proverb, that they who dwell in glass houses should not be the first to throw stones. Does he think the Colonel's political opinions are those of the people of England ? I say he had better take care of the public character of the Colonel before he assails mine, and he will find enough to do ; ' but if he attacks me I shall hold him (as every public man who calumniates another should be held) up to public scorn and hatred. With regard to the course the present Ministry may pursue I am indifferent, for they must be defeated, and you will have cause to rejoice as well as I shall. If you had sent me as your reprentative to Parliament, I would have done my best to aid their destruction. They talk of asking for a fair trial I Did Lord Melbourne's administration receive a fair trial ?—( Hear.) They talk of asking for a fair trial I Will they give the Vote by Ballot and Triennial Par liaments a fair trial? Having acknowledged that Dr. Lee has treated me with every civility, I have now to offer you my heartfelt and honest thanks for the great and overwhelm ing exertions you have made in my service. If you shall ever think my services can contribute to your cause, I will come forward again. If those who have it in their power to procure my retitrn will not come forward with that degree of energy that ought to be expected from them,, hey shall ever be exposed 'to all the evils of having Tory Members. The Tories have reason to think there are a number of half and-half men who will never give me their support but we will never give way—there shall be no neutrality, they mnst choose me, or a rank ultra-Tory. , In the county battle what , little influence I possess I will throw into the scale of Dash- , wood and Lee, the best for the reformers. I have now also to thank my district committee, who have cordially co-operated with my central committee in Aylesbury ; they have done all that lays in their power. I will say, if we are defeated, we have maintained our character pure and spotless, like good patriots, to the last. I counsel you, on another occasion ;to come and poll on the first day, the same compulsion which obliges the Tories to vote according to the will of their lords and masters, obliges them also to vote as early as their tyran nical oppressors command them. If Reformers will take their own time as to voting, when they know their enemies come up to the poll at the first bidding of their masters, who like shep herds guide their sheep, then they must be defeated to the end of the world. Every exertion, as you well know, no matter by what means, has been taken to defeat me; but they have not done with me so long as these veins are am mated by the vital blood which circulates within me, so long will I harrass. them—so long will I be a thorn in the Tory side. I have few occasions of meeting them and telling them the honest truth—but the truth must he told ; this is not a crisis of flattery, we must speak in the language of Lord Chatham, and approach even the Throne itself; we must tell the King he has been foolish, and his Ministers are imbecile—we must say that female influence can never be allowed to predominate over the English Councils—that this great nation is not to be schooled like a small family—that the people have desires and wishes= that must be complied with. You, then, electors of the county of Buckingham, must tell the King these truths in your polling for the county—by your support of Dashwood and Lee. The Tory candidate, Sir Wm. Young, has this day promised the present Ministry his support ; I care not—it is a Jack-o'-lan tern Ministry, which looks fair, but will lead them through tortuous courses, until they are fairly floundered in the mire. Their's is not the cheering light which guides the traveller in his path, but the ignis fa.tuus which leads them into pools and ditches. Gentlemen, with regard to my Committee, I have every reason to give them ray hearty thanks. They have neither slumbered nor slept in the service, and I say those men will always stand by you if you will stand by them. Already do I see the ele ments of victory,—l see it in this large, this determined as sembly ; I see it in you determined Britons ; I see it in you who have resolved not to be boroughmongering slaves. It now re mains for me to bid you adieu, but it is only for a time. I will ap pear again at the polling for the county on Tuesday next, to oust the nominees of Lord Chandos by your votes. Keep in view that this nation and the Monarchy is not to be tampered with ; call for the impeachment of those wicked Ministers who now rule this country, and you will soon be happy and pros perous. I again thank you for all you have done ; lam ready to hoist this banner in this market-place, until which time I know you will be consistent, and when that time comes you will exert your zealous endeavours for me, when I, as I always will again, appeal to the united voice of the people for their support. Mr. JOHN GIBBS then presented himself, and made some very pointed and useful observations. He particularly alluded to the backwardness of the Reformers of landed property, while the Tories openly countenanced their candidates in every possible way. With a few honourable exceptions they had not appeared, and the election had been entirely conducted by the middling classes.—( Cheers.) The exertions of one vo lunteer were more serviceable than those of ten paid agents, and his own should not be wanting.—( Loud applause). He would give no option to some moderate men, between the sup port of a Tory, and those whom they falsely called a Destruc tive.—( Cheers.) The meeting then dispersed, with loud cries of " Hobhouse for ever I " COURT OF DELEGATES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ADULTERY. Mr. Justice Pattison, Mr. Justice Alderson, Mr. Baron Gurney, Dr. Daubeny, and Dr. Burnaby attended this day in Sergeants' Inn Hall, to hear an Appeal from the Arches Court of Canterbury in the case of Story v. Story. It was a suit brought by Mr. John Samuel Story, a so licitor residing at St. Albans, to obtain a divorce from his wife on the ground that she had committed adultery with her husband's nephew, John Alexander Harper. The case was stated at very great length by the counsel engaged in the cause, and an immense body of evidence was adduced to prove the different facts and circumstances. It appeared that Mr. Story and his wife were married in 1807 ; the husband at that time was 21, and the lady a few years younger ; they had six children now living, viz., four sons and two daughters. In the year 1830, John Alexander Harper, who is about 22 years of rge, and whose mother is the sister of Mr. Story, returned from the East Indies, and went to reside with his father at Hackney. He was accustomed to visit his uncle (Mr. Story) and his family for several days together, and during such visits he frequently walked alone with Mrs. S., and it was alleged that many improper and indecent familiarities passed between them on those occasions. Early in May, 1831, Mrs. Story being in delicate health, was recom mended by her medical attendants to go to the sea side. It was then determined that she should pay a short visit at the house of Mr. Harper (Alexander's father), and pro ceed afterwards to Brighton. On the 21st of May she ar rived at Mr. Harper's house, and about eleven o'clock the family retired to rest. The bed-chambers, which were oc cupied that night by Mrs. Story and John Alexander Harper, were opposite to each other, and adjoining to the bed-room of Miss Mary Story, another sister of Mr. Story. The rooms of Mrs. and Miss Story were divided by a lath and plaster partition only, against which the head of Miss Story's bed was placed. About two o'clock in the morning Miss Story was awoke by a noise by which she apprehended that some persons were attempting to get into the house ; but after an interval she heard the same noise, and then perceived that it proceeded from Mrs. Story's room. Pear inc, that she might be unwell, Miss Story got ou t o f bed , and c ' went to the partition which divided the bed-rooms, and then distinctly heard the voices of Mrs. Story and John Alexander Harper in conversation together,and speaking in an endearing tone of voice. Miss Story then went to Mrs. Story's bed-room, and knocking at the door inquired if she was ill ? and Mrs. Story answered that she was not. Miss Story then immediately went to John Alex ander Harper's bed-room, and finding he was not there she returned, and knocked again at the door of Mrs. Story's room. Mrs. Story, after some little delayed, unlocked and opened the door. She was then in her night-clothes. Mrs. Story denied that Harper was in the room, but Miss Story, convinced that he was, made a search, and disco vered him lying, undressed, under the bed. Miss Story, after expressing great indignation at this discovery, left the room, and was followed into her own room by Mrs. Story. In consequence of the urgent entreaties of Mrs. Story, Miss Story did not immediately disclose to any person what had occurred ; but thinking, upon reflection, that she ought not to conceal them from the knowledge of Mr. Harper, (Alexander's father), she, about two days afterwards, re vealed the circumstances to him. He earnestly entreated her not to divulge the circumstance to Mr. Story, repre senting to her the misery which would ensue if they should come to his knowledge, and she therefore did not disclose the matter to him. On quitting the house of Mr. Harper, Mrs. Story paid a visit to the house of Mr. Driver, at Whitehall, where she was joined by her husband. She af terwards removed to the Norfolk Hotel, Surrey-street, Strand, previous to leaving London, and on the 13th of June departed for Brighton, accompanied by her two daugh ters. Almost immediately after she had left the hotel for Brighton, a letter, which arrived by the twopenny-post, was delivered by a waiter to Mr. Story, which letter had originally been addressed to Mrs. Story, at Mr. Driver's house, and from thence forwarded to the Norfolk Hote' The letter was to the following effect : " Sunday. " Dearest Mary,—l am most cruelly disappointed in not having the pleasure of seeing you—shall wait at home all to morrow in anxious expectation of a note—do let me see you. Yours ever most.sincerely, * * # " Did you get mine safe?" Mr. Story, surprised, alarmed, and distressed at the con tents of the note, determined at once to see and advise with his sister, Mrs. Harper. She having strongly and repeatedly advised him not to permit his nephew to visit his family at Brighton, it occurred to him that her advice must have some reference to his nephew as the writer of the letter, and he, therefore, entreated her to disclose her reasons for the advice she so gave. She then informed him of the adulterous intercourse which had taken place between his wife and Alexander Harper. Mr. Story was much shocked at the intelligence, and instructed his half-brother, Mr. An thony Brown, to communicate to her his intention of never living with her again. The trunks and boxes of Mrs. Story having been for warded from Brighton to St. Alban's to remove some arti cles of dress belonging to the daughters, a pocket-book be longing to Mrs. Story was found, and opposite to the date of the 28th of April the following words, written with pen cil in the hand-writing of Alexander Harper, were found : —" My dearest Life, I love you—H." Mr. Browne, who was instructed to wait upon Mrs. Story, and communicate her husband's intention of obtain ing a divorce, gave an account of the conversation which took place on that occasion, when he communicated to her Mr. Story's determination to seek a divorce, and told her she would see the propriety of not proceeding to her hus band's house at St. Albans, where she would not, or could not be received ; she said she would not do any thing to hurt her children, and that she would not go to the one Mr. Story supposed, but would go abroad. It was also stated by some of the witnesses that Mrs. Story was allowed to remain at Brighton in hopes to gain some further evidence respecting the intercourse between her and a gentleman named Smith, as her conduct had been improper in respect to such gentleman. Some of Mr. Story's servants stated, that when Mr. Harper visited Mrs. Story at her husband's house, they ap peared very familiar with each other from the time of his coming until he went. They had frequently seen them in the garden and in different parts of the house alone toge ther, and the servants had often remarked to each other that they seemed like sweethearts, for they used to walk arm-in-arm, and were so very affectionate, but they never saw any thing indecent on either side. They never saw any thing ~ 1, , liti_! conclusion that they had formed an adulterous intercourse. They had seen Mr. Harper come out of Mrs.. Story's bed-room several times in the afternoon, but as she was very ill, and confined to her bed, it did not strike them as improper. On the part of Mrs. Story, it was contended that the evidence of the adultery was not sufficient to justify the Court in pronouncing a divorce ; and that although the circumstances would induce some persons to suppose that a criminal connection had taken place, such an allegation couid not be maintained by evidence. The young man with whom the adultery was alleged to have been com mitted was playful and boyish, and he was in the practice of running in and out of his sisters' rooms after they had retired to rest. _ _ _ On this subject Miss Story was examined, and she stated that Alexander Harper was not, at the time of the transaction referred to, a mere boy in appearance ; he looked the age he was—his manners was playful and boyish at times, and he had not the solidity about him that they could wish ; they did not in the family treat him as they would an elderly person ; he was a most affectionate, good tempered youth ; witness never knew and don't believe that on account of his boyishness or of his seafaring habits, liberties were permitted to him not ordinarily conceded by ladies to persons of the other sex. His habits are not seafaring ; his manners are generally considered very gentlemanly ; he would come into witness's bed-room at night to wish her good night, and he would go into his sisters' rooms after they had retired for the night. Witness did not know that he was particularly in the habit of romping with Mrs. William Harper. He was playful, and occasionally romped with all parts of the family, but witness believed less with her than with any one, and she did not believe they had ever been seen rolling over each other on the carpet in the drawing-room at the Jerusalem Coffee-house. She never saw it and can't believe it. She never knew of his going into the bed-room of Mrs. Story's daughters. He would go into Mrs. William Harper's, and into his sisters', and into witness's room, but she did not remember his going into the bed-room of any other ladies when staying at their honse, except that he went into the bed-room of Mrs. William Bell after she had gone to bed at night, and she very properly put him out ; he went in merely as a childish frolic to frighten her, and she insisted on his leaving the room. Alexander Harper was married on the 6th of last July. Mrs. Harper, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house, was also examined on this point, and gave similar evidence. At four o'clock, Dr. ADDAMS not having concluded the defence, the case was adjourned till a future day. A GHOST STORY. The next trial of my nervous system was at Sierra Leone. I was then in a frigate, and as fears were entertained that the French were about to make a descent upon some part of the encampment (a French squadron having been seen hovering off the coast), the free negroes were armed and enrolled as volunteers. To effect this, at a village about six miles from the in terior, I was despatched with proper orders, and the. boat landed me at the nearest point to my destination,: It was late in the evening before my duty was com pleted ; and as I was particularly desirous to return to the ship, and make my report, an officer of the York Rangers lent me a beautiful and spirited horse, which I mounted, though not without a few misgivings, which were much increased when I was jocosely requested not to fall in love with the " ghost" on the road. On the wayside stood a lone and uninhabited house, where a trafficker in human flesh had murdered his wife ; and, ever since, the lady, or her apparition, had presented herself, after dark, before the gate. Beyond the house were the re mains of a negro village, which, previously to coloni zation, had been attacked by slave-dealers and burned. The aged inhabitants were massacred, the young were born to slavery ; and now it was asserted, that the former visited their old habitations, and called aloud for vengeance to redress their wrongs. Such tales were slot calculated to inspire composure ; but I strove to at the jokes passed on me, and started off at full speed, declaring that " the ghosts should have a long chase, if they felt inclined to sport." The empty boast still faltered on my heart, and my tremulous hand could scarcely hold the rein, when the house of death, all desolate, appeared in view. Striking the spurs into the sides of the generous animal, he sprang forward on his way, and passed the dreadful spot, without my witnessing any thing to excite horror. Al though the moon was up, yet storms were on the wind, and heavy clouds obscured her light. Often in imagi tion did I hear shrieks of the slaughtered negroes as they came howling on the gale, whilst I rapidly ap proached the ruined village, which had been the ter rific scene of blood. A black thick cloud with dark ness overshadowed the picture, and spread a gloomy wildness over every object. The horse buried his hoofs deep in the sand, and, like an arrow from a bow, con tinued his fleet career ; when in a moment he stopped, threw out his fore legs and reared up his haunches, while steaming foam issued from his nostrils. It was with considerable difficulty that I retained my seat ; and as the creature refused to proceed, I rode back a short distance, and again made an effort to pursue my direct road, but in vain ; the animal stopped at the same spot, and flew from side to side of the highway, nor could the whip and spur urge him to advance. Several times did I repeat the attempt ; and though a chilling awe crept through my veins and made my blood run cold, yet nothing had presented itself to my sight, though it was evident that the eyes of the horse were fixed upon something supernaturally terrific. At length the moon shed her dim light through a fleecy cloud, and then with horror and amazemement I beheld the cause of terror, for right in the middle of the road appeared a long black coffin, and the pale beams of the moon glanced on the white escutcheon fixed on the top. Every feeling of the soul was racked to the -extreme ; every fibre of the heart was nerved to desperation ; and mus tering all my breath, I uttered the great and awful name to which both quick and dead must pay obedience. The lid of the coffin was thrown up, a figure slowly raised itself and gazed upon me, whilst my whole existence seemed quivering on the verge of eternity. The horse pawed the , round with uncontrolled fury ; the howling of the wind seemed more dreadful ;—when a hollow voice, with distinct utterance, vociferated— " Don't be alarmed,—'tis only Uncle Joey I—So, so, poor fellow I So, so. " The horse, hearing a well known sound, became pacified ; and then I ascertained that Uncle Joey, a corporal in the newly-raised volun teers, had been to town to fetch an ann-chest, which had been made by a carpenter to deposit the muskets in. Having, however, drank rather freely, he had found himself drowsy on his way back ; so, getting into the chest (which .was painted black, with a tin plate on the lid), and, shutting himself in, he had enjoyed a comfortable nap, till the snorting of the ani mal and my shouting brought about his resurrection. —Tough Yarns. The influence of spirit drinking in promoting insa nity may he judged by the following fact :—ln Richmond Lunatic asylum, Dublin, of 120 males and 166 females, 114 were ascertained to have been brought on by intoxication. STRIKE AMONGST THE JOURNEYMEN COACH MAKERS.-A very general strike for increase of wages has taken place amongst the journeymen coachmakers of Man chester. The masters have sent agents to London to engage a number of men in the place of those who have turned out, and about 100 men have been already engaged. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Friday morning be tween ten and eleven o'clock, as a gentleman named Mardyn, residing in Great Cumberland -street, Hyde-park, was riding on horseback along the Knightsbridge-road, near the Horse Barracks, the animal suddenly slipped down, and rolled over completely on its side, Mr. Mardyn being underneath. Some persons who witnessed the accident immediately ran to the u nfortunate gentleman's assistance, and on raising him up he was found to have sustained a compound fracture of the right thigh, the fractured portion of the bones protruding through the flesh, and causing an extensive wound, from which the blood was profusely streaming. Mr. Mardyn was ultimately removed to his own residence, and remains in a highly dange rous state. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN TWELVE PROTESTANTS TO DEATH.—On Wednesday se'nnight some villains unknown set fire to the roof of the dwelling-house of Mr. John Sandford, a most respectable man, in the parish of Kilkerrin, within seven miles of Tuam, in this county. Mr. Sandford and his family were all in bed at the time. He has a wife and ten children. The intent was to burn them to a shes. Some of the children from the effects of the suffoca tion awoke and alarmed the family, who, we are delighted to add, all escaped unhurt. The only reason that can be as signed for this diabolical outrage is, that Mr. Sandford and family are Protestants ; and the Priest, a few sabbaths before, from the altar in the chapel, in explaining to his flock the na ture of the Bill the late government intended introducing next session of Parliament, said every parish not having a certain number of Protestants, would be free from tithe, and they need pa y no such person as Mr. Synge, who is the respected parish minister. The Priest's hints were not lost on his hearers, as the above will show.— Galwa,v Advertiser. COURT OF CHANCERY, J N. L 2. This being the first day of Term the Lord Chancellor, the Judges, and King's Counsel, having breakfasted in Lincoln's Inn, came in procession to Westminster Hall, in the usual manner. At half-past one the Lord Chancellor entered the Court, accompanied by the Master of the Rolls, and the Vice-Chan- The following gentlemen, having been appointed King's Counsel, were called by the Lord Chancellor to take their places within the bar :—Mr. Wakefield, Mr. Burge, Mr. Shep herd, Mr. Skirrow; Mr. Temple, Mr. Barber, Mr. Miller, Mr. Spence, Mr. Platt, Mr. Kindersley, Mr. Jacob, Mr. Wigram, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly. The subsequent proceedings of the Court were of no public importance. VIOE-CHANCERY COURT, JAv. 12. His HONOUR having entered the Court a little after one o'clock, proceeded to give judgment in some cases, none of which possessed any interest except WALKER V. ELSE. The case was this—A person of the name of Parkin, as the next friend of the infant plaintiff, filed a bill against three per sons, two of whom, Else and Lill, were the executors and trustees of the will of the infant's deceased father, and they and the third defendant, his widow, Mrs. Walker, were the guardians of the infant. The bill was filed in August last, under an allegation affecting Mrs. Walker, the stepmother of the infant, which was not material for the present purpose, and prayed general relief in respect to the infant's interest. The testator had bequeathed the rents and profits of all his estates in trust for his widow, for the maintenance of herself and the infant till the latter should attain twenty-one ; upon which event the infant was to become entitled to an estate called Wroot, and all the rest of the property was divided for the be nefit of Nlrs. Walker. The bill suggested nothing like a case for the Court to interfere, except the possession of some title deeds of the Wroot estate. Shortly after the bill was filed, another bill was filed by the widow, for car rying the trusts of the will into effect. And an ap plication was made by Mrs. Walker, to take the first bill off the file, or for a reference to the Master, to inquire whether the suit was for the infant's benefit. And it appeared to the Court that it was necessary on princi ple to make the order on the first alternative. The person who filed this bill on behalf of the infant was stated by affida vit, which were uncontradicted, to have been a mere day la bourer in the employment of Mrs. Walker, at 12s. a-week. He was a married man, and had children. He had deserted his wife, and had seduced a young woman living in the service of Mrs. Walker, for which offence he was discharged, and he was now living with a woman by whom he had two children. It was impossible that a person of his character, and in his si tuation, could conduct the suit properly for the benefit of the infant. It was manifest he had filed the bill to gratify his spite against Mrs. Walker for dismissing him. The bill should, therefore, be taken off the file ; and, although it was useless to add, with costs against Parkin. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BATEMAN AND CAMPBELL. In this suit, which it will be recollected relates to the Tot-. tenham-court-road Chapel and the Tabernacle, Sir WILLIAM HORNE said, that since his Honour's judgment the parties had been reconciled, and Mr. Campbell was re stored to his pulpit and salary ; and it was their desire to have the information dismissed, the costs of both sides to be paid out of the Chapel funds. Mr. KNIGHT said it should be entered that the order was made by consent. The VICE-CHANCELLOR was exceedingly glad to hear of the reconciliation. The parties did themselves mole honour by their mutual concession than by any triumph they could obtain in Court. _ During the day the SOLICITOR-GENERAL and the thirteen new King's Counsel took' their seats within the bar. ROLL'S COURT-JAN. 12. This being the first day of Hilary Term his Honour the Master of the Rolls, after breakfasting with the Lord Chan cellor, proceeded in state with the other Judges to Westmin ster, where he arrived shortly after one o'clock. At the sitting of the Court the new King's Counsel were introduced, and took their seat within the Bar as King's Counsel. His Honour then proceeded to hear several short motions, none of which were of any public interest, which occupied the attention of the Court till the rising. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 12. Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Littledale, Mr. Justice Pattison, and Mr. Justice Williams, after coming down to Westminster in procession with the other Judges, took their seats upon the Bench, when Lord Abinger was introduced and sworn as Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. The Attorney-General ( Sir F. Pollock) and Solicitor- General ( Sir William Webb Follett) took their seats of office within the bar. _ _ The gentlemen on whom the rank of King's Counsel had been conferred were also called within the bar. _ . The further proceedings before the Court were not of such a nature as to interest the public. BAIL COURT, JAN. 12. In consequence of the sudden death of Mr. Justice Taunton (who expired on the preceding evening suddenly at his house in Russell-square) Mr. Justice Littledale, who always presided in this Court, attended in full Court, and Mr. Justice Wil liams took his seat in his room. The Court met at ten o'clock to hear motions of course and to take justification of bail. Nothing occurred of the leaQt public interest. At half-past eleven o'clock the Court rose. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 12. Lord Abinger, as Lord Chief Baron, and the other Barons, took their seats on the Bench at half-past one o'clock. The Court was crowded by the curious auditors to see the new Lord Chief Baron. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 10.—On Tuesday last the Sovereign, Cap tain Griswold, sailed for New York, and the Commissioner for Ar bitration for the prevention of the Slave Trade at the Havannah, under the new Treaty, went passenger.

At Spitheacl.—Curlew. In Harbour.—Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Actaeon, Ma dagascar, Rattlesnake, Salamander, Victor, Water Witch, Came lion, Buffalo, Seaflower, and Speedy. (From the Devenport Telegraph.) DEVONPORT, JAN. 10.—The Curlew, Commander Hon. Joseph Densman, went out of Portsmouth Harbour on Monday, to Spit head, and is now waiting orders. The Buffalo was paid off on Tuesday, but Mr. Sadler will keep charge of her until further orders. The Speedy cutter arrived on Sunday from Portsmouth, with supernumeraries for the Pique and Royalist. The Nimrod was at Lisbon on the 28th ult. The Pelican, 18, Commander Brunswick Popham, is under orders to sail from Chatham, for the west of Africa, to relieve the Pelorus. The Rattlesnake was commissioned on Monday, by Captain W. Hobson. The Madagascar, Captain Edmund Lyons, was inspected as to her preparation for battle, &e., on Saturday, and went into Ports mouth Harbour the same day to be paid off into ordinary. She will be paid off about the 17th. Mr. Geo. R. Halliday, midshipman, of the Actaeon, passed his examination in seamanship on Wednesday, on board the Victory, at Portsmouth. Several gentlemen, friends of Mr. Hume, met this morning at the Salopian Coffee-house, Charing Cross, and passed resolutions in support of him. The Augsburgh Gazette states from Constantinople December 13, that confidence is gradually returning, and every body hopes that peace will nut be interrupted; at least the accounts from Alexandria are satisfactory, and Mehemet Ali seems disposed to accommodate himself to the present state of things, and to comply with the just demands of the Porte. The sanitary state of Constantinople is satisfactory, the cold season having rendered the cases of plague scarce. FOSSIL REMAINS AT CAPE BRETON.—Re mains of vast animals are found, which it would appear for merly ranged in the vicinity of the Bras d'Or. Enormous bones, resembling thigh bones, six feet in length, are reported to have been seen lying at the bottom of the lake. In the bed of the Wagamatcook, shcrtly after the settlement on that river, an extraordinary skull was discovered. One of the teeth was taken to Sydney, which resembled in general appearance the molares of the human jaw, its greatest measure was about eight inches, but whether that length had been transversely or longitudinally situated in the jaw could not be determined by those who had not seen the skull from which it had been taken. The thickness from the root to the crown of the tooth was four inches, and the width across the crown about the same. There were ten processes upon the crown, five on either side. The Indians have a story, that a huge animal once raised its head out of the water of the Middle Barrasol of Aspy Bay, near Cape North, and so terrified them, that it was long before any would venture thither again.—Mr. Mar tin's History of the British Colonies. Vol. 111. PEDRO'S RECRUITS.—One evening there came to the quarters of Colonel Shaw a miserable looking creature in the shape of a soldier.—" Oh Sir 1" said he to the command ing officer, " I'm very distressed in my mind, and I've got something to say to ye, cornel. Sir, I'm a weaver to my trade, frae Glasgow, and my name is Sandy MacGregor, Sir; six months sin sync, a ship was lying in the Clyde, and some o' my freends were in her, listed for Don Pedro. I jist gaed aboard o' her to hae a parting glass, and when I was sittin' below wi' the lads, haeing a bit crack like for the last time, up gaed the anchor, and awa' we sailed for Portigale, and here am I a sodger, Sir. God kens I had nae thought o' being a sodger whan I gaed into the ship ; I thought I wad hae lived and dee'd in the Gallowgate ;—no that I am a coward, Sir, (though I'm a weaver,) or am I feared for the feghtin. No, no ; but I left a wife and seven bairns at hame, Sir, and oh 1 they hang heavy at my heart, and I eauna sleep at nicht thinking o' them and what they'll do for the scullin (schooling), and me here. I want to write to them to tell them that I'm here and living, and expect to see them again when we pit MacDoual (Miguel) out o' the wey." Poor Sandy MacGregor's case was not a singular one during this civil war in Portugal.
