In the Loans' last night the adjourned debate. on Lord BROUGHAM'S resolutions relative to General Education was again postponed. The Highway Bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee. In relation to the opera tion of the Oaths Abolition Bill, the Duke of RICHMOND said that the clause declaring that no voluntary affidavit should be allowed to be taken after the Ist of June had been erroneously held by a magistrate to mean the Ist of June, 1836, not the Ist of June in the present year. He should, therefore, introduce a measure fixing the Ist of August next as the period at which the practice of taking voluntary oaths was to be discontinued. A vote of thanks was moved by Lord MELBOURNE to the late Clerk-Assistant of the House. There were no dissentients. The Prisons Regulation Bill was read a second time, and re ferred to a Select Committee. In the COMMONS' Mr. SCHOLEPIELD presented a petition from Birmingham, complaining of the misappropriation of cor porate funds, of the injustice of the present system of the Esta blished Church in Ireland, and of the disabilities under which the Dissenters laboured. Some other petitions were pre sented, amongst which was one from Berkhampstead, relating to a misapplication of funds intended for education. Lard MAHON moved for a copy of the late Order in Council, Which exempts those subjects of his MAJESTY, who enter into the service of the Queen of Spain, from the operation of the Foreign Enlistment Bill. An animated discussion took place upon the subject. Lord PAL MERSTON declared his readiness to produce the papers re quired; the more the subject was understood, the more per fect would be the justification of the Government. The Or der in Council was the natural consequence of the Quadru ple Alliance. The convention signed by Lord ELIOT could not fail to produce adva n t age to all persons concerned. Co lonel EvAiis resented the designation of " mercenaries," ap plied to himself and , his brother officers.' Much excitement prevailed in the House; the SPEAKER interposed, explana tions were given, and the motion in which all this originated, was at length withdrawn by the Noble Mover. The House then went into a Committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed, in the 10th clause, some amendments' which will preserve th e r i g h ts o f t h ose now ap prenticed to freemen, and will also preserve all, rights acquired by inhabitancy. The Noble Lord consented to take into consi deration, in common with other amendments, one proposed p by rop S e i r r ty t W ; Fo la tolls, shall be preserved. There was considerable discussion r pers ons ET, now living, e xcept exemption from to the effect that the i nc h oate r i ghts of on the 10th clause, many amendment were proposed, and several suggestions made, in order to bestow a careful consi deration on the several matters submitted. Lord JOHN Res- SELL moved an adjournment. The debate on the 10th clause will, therefore, be resumed to-day. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Her Majesty the Queen honoured this theatre last evening with her presence. The performances consisted of the opera of " Fidelio," followed by " Gustavus the Third." Her Majesty arrived at the theatre at a very few minutes after seven o'clock, and upon her c trance was received with universal acclamations, the audience rising, as usual, and testifying their respect by loud cheers. The curtain immediately drew pp, and the national anthem qf loud and hearty plawli ts . Th e " God save the King" was sung by the p e rroymers, and Wag occasionally interrupted opera then proceeded, Madame Malibran excelling, I( that possible, her former achievements in the principal personage, and the other actors play ing with great spirit. .fit the couClu sion of the opera, " Goa save the King'! again called for, and sung with inc, eased effect. The house was filled up to the slips, lIOUBE OF LORDS-(THIS DAY.) LOND('N, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1835. An animated discussion took place last night in the House of Commons, on the subject of Lord MA uroN's motion for " a copy of the Order in Council by which the Foreign Enlistment Act was suspended in favour of the .Spanish Government." The Noble Lord, on bringing forward this motion, ; took the opportunity afforded him by it, to condemn the principle of tin expedition now about to set sail for the Spanish coast, under the command of Colonel EVANS. He depre cated it as an unnecessary and injudicious act of in terference, wh,lisr at variance with precedent ; either forgetting, or not caring to remember, that an inter ference of a far more active, direct, and extensive na ture took place, on the part of England, during the regime of high Toryism, when NAPOLEON returned to Paris from Elba. Then, though our aid so far from being called fur, was actually repudiated by France, who unanimously recognized in the EMPE fenit her restored, legitimate Sovereign, so few scru ples had we on the subject of non-intervention, that we not only interfered ourselves, but we also induced all Europe to interfere—and this, not, as in the pre sent instance, on behalf of a dynasty of the people's choice, but of one whose claims had no other support than what it derived from foreign bayonets ! Our interference in 1814 was for the sole purpose of gua ranteeing the right divine of Kings to govern wrong" in France. Our interference in 1835 is to establish Spanish liberty on 'a just, Constitutional basis. In the former instance, we interfered to op press ; in the present, to befriend. Then, on true Tory principles, we advocated the rights of a desmot. Nosy, on true Liberal principles, we oppose them. This it is which makes Lord :CIA iroN so hostile to the expedition of Colonel EVANS. It is a direct sar casm on all former instances of Tory intervention. Were it sent out for the purpose of supporting Don CARLOS, not a word should we hear against it from the Conservatives ; but as its object is to put down thiS last hope of the Holy Alliance, of course it is everything that is unsightly and obnoxious in their eyes. Yet who, that is not blinded by party prejudice, can recognize in it any other than a mission of mercy ? The end proposed to be at tained by it, is such as all humane men must combine in approving. It is to put a stop to the frightful massacres now twine, perpetrated in so many parts of Spain ; and bestow on a demoralized country, whose commercial resources are declining, whose every limb and nerve are paralyzed—the blessings of peace; and, consequently, of prosperity. Without some such interference on our part—for France is too much engrossed with her own domestic embarrass ments, to be able to relieve those of the Peninsula— Spain, it is clear, must still continue to be harassed by a teazing, protracted warfare, which, notwithstand ing its duration, has scarcely yet produced one decisive result. Besides, just and even conciliatory as is our proposed intervention, it has not been volunteered by us. We have not officiously intruded our offers of help on the Spanish Cabinet. Fax . ,otherwise. It has been formally requested of us, by our ally the Constitu tional QUEEN of that country ; and under such imperative circumstances, as scarcely leave us the option of refusal. .But Lord M i aitos can see no ur gency in the case I We never supposed he could. When did a Conservative ever yet see the pressing ne cessity of assisting the cause of Constitutional Liberty? His Lordship further objected to the expedi tion, that it would most probably be defeated, and therefore would be a blot on the national honor. Of the un-English spirit implied in this eager, sneering anticipation of dishonor to the British arms, we shall take no further notice than that if it had influenced the majority of the House of Commons when the Duke of WELLINGTON first set out for the Peninsula in 1809, he would never have had an opportunity of achieving those victories which have made him im mortal. Far greater was his probability of being de feated then, than is likely to be the case with Colonel EVANS now; but no such unworthy anticipations were indulged in in those days ; it was reserved for the present, to see a Statesman rise in the British Parliament, and deliberately endeavour to de. preciate British heroism, by hinting that it was such as could not command victory, but must, on the con trary, ensure defeat. However strongly the Whigs may have opposed the war against NAPOLEON, they never, like Lord MAHON, grounded it on the infe riority of our national skill and valour. His Lordship stands alone in the adoption of an argument like tl2is. Sir ROBSRT PEEL'S objections were of a wholly different order. He was struck with a fine moral dismay, at the thoughts ,of the horrid acts of iniquity that would be perpetrated, on the return of the dis banded troops to England. He anticipated all 'sorts of calimities from a set of men, whose sense of mo rality. could not but be grievously vitiated by their acquaintance with the habits of another country. He seemed to think—so ran his line of argument — that to let loose such unquestionable profligates on society, would be t) !_q-eak all the 'sacred links that bind it together. Before they went abroad, they might possioly have been virtuomi ; but it was wholly our of the question- that they could cone back immaculate. He would, therefore. oppose an expedition, whose only result would be to bring a blush over the face of the national irnoc.:9lce. The Right liouourlible Baronet ne ‘ ;cl not be very nice on this score. All the mischiefithat can be done to Eng lish morals by acquaintance with foreign customs has been done already. We have very few continental vices yet to become acquainted with ; and these few are far less likely to be imported by a small band of gallant men, who go out to fight in the cause of justice and freedom, than by those thousands of fashionable loungers who annually wing their way to the soft, vo luptuous regions of Italy. Sir ROBERT'S objection is as consummate a specimen of cant, direct and un equivocal, as was ever yet twanged through the nose by a POULTER or an AGNEW During the progress of the debate some slight spar ring took place between Lord MAHON and Colonel EVANS, which, however, was amicably terminated by Sir H. HA RDINGE, who came forward in the novel character of a peace-maker. Considering that this was his first attempt of the sort in public, the Right Hon. Baronet acquitted himself with much dexterity. In deed, a more successful debut we have not lately wit nessed. It was hailed with infinite applause, and we hope will be often repeated. We direct our readers' particular attention to the exposure that was made last night in the House of Commons, of the abuses in the proceeds of , the Berk hampstead Grammar School. This institution, it seems, . was founded for the purpose of educa ting usefully one hundred and forty-four children ; yet for the last twenty-one years, not one boy had received his education there. Nevertheless, the master still continued to draw his income of nearly 1,0001. per annum ; as also did an absentie -usher, who, in order that he might be better qualified to teach at Berkhampstead, had resided for upwards of twenty years at Cheltenham ! In addition to this monstrous school sinecure, the . master (the Rev. Mr. DUPREE) held the living of Willoughby,. in Lincolnshire, and had actually received a, licence from his Bishop, discharging him from the perform ance of the duties of his living, for the express purpose of enabling him to perform those of school-master! Well Mr. GOULEURN express his regret that " there should be a person in the station •of a Minister acting in the manner that had been stated." We never heard of a ease of more flagrant clerical rapacity. It demands the promptest—the most searching—the most ma sparing and pitiless investigation. There_. are no delicate sensibilities to be wounded by inquiry. The Corporation Reform Bill made very Tlittle pro gress last night, as the House did not go into Corn mit!ee until after a long debate on the late Order in Council, permitting British subjects to enter the ser vice of the Qucen of SPAIN. On the Speaker's leavirq-: the chair, Lora .1.611 N RUSSELL proposed two amendments on the 10th clause. This clause, it will be remembered, preserves to the existing freemen all the rights of property to whieli they are at present entitled, and provides that %%lien, according to the present system, they WOl:id have ceased to derive benefit from Corporation pro perty, the share of that property enjoyed by each sleet' revert to the general fund, and be applicable to general purposes of the borough. The first anic.e.:- merit proposed by the Noble Lord was merely ; the second was that apprentices should be permitted to enjoy all the rights reserved by Pais clause, When these amendments had been agreed to, Mr. Rorir. - ..\'- SON (the Member for Worcester, we believe) moved another amendment, which had for its object to in clude in the privileged class all the sons of freemen now born who are entitled to their personal' freedom. On this point a pretty .long debate ensued, soree Honourable Members declaring that they could see no difference between the claims of apprenticbs, and those of the freemen's children ; white others in sisted that the claim arising out of the mere neeitlent of having been born in a certain place, was not to mentioned in the same day with that for which a in;an had given an equivalent in hard cash, and laborious-- service. This latter view seems to us the just and tee: common-sense view of the case. We must alsvav bear in mind that there is afiaze in the original tire. The rights and privileges in question have been granted by those who had no competent authority to do so. The commonalty, or general body of the people dwell ing in corporate towns, were, the parties for whose benefit the exclusive privileges were granted—exclu sive not as regards - any portion of the inhabitants, but with respect to those who lived elsewhere—and they have been deprived of this benefit by usurpation. This is acknowledged by all—even Sir ROBEkIT: PEEL admitted it last night. It is also agreed, or pretended to be agreed on all hands, that the rights thus usurped ought to be restored. The question is, how is this to be done in an _ equi table manner ? May it not be said that the in habitants of boroughs have suffered long enough the'_ deprivation of their acknowledged rights, and that those who have enjoyed benefits never intended for them, ought to be content with what they have already had This we think would be an answer at least to the claim ants by birth. Their parents, it may . be, paid for thbir freedom, but they have had value. The present ap prentices have also given a valuable consideration for their freedom, without being parties to the vice inherent in the contract. Let them also . enjoy the benefits which:they thought they were pur-, chasing, but let the thing stop here. The Committee came to no decision upon the point, it being left for Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S consideration till to-night, whether he would himself propose an amendment, giving effect to all inchoate rights. We hope and trust the Government will not yield the point. Advices from Constantinople to the 4th instant have been received. They refer principally to the move ments of Russia, which threaten the tranquillity, if not the further dismemberment, of the Ottoman Empire. The Russian fleet at Sebastopol is fitted out for :,ea, and troops, to the number of 50,000 men, arc about to embark on an expedition, which undoubtedly has far its object an attack upon some part of the SULTAN'S dominions. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday, together with private intelligence from Bay onne to the 20th inst. The report of ZUMALACA Ii- REGUI'S being wounded in the thigh before Bilboa is confirmed, as well as the statement that the command of the Carlists was, ad interim, entrusted 'td - General GRASO. The Carlist Chief was carried to Durango, where he underwent an amputation of the thigh. It is further stated, that the approach of VALDEz on the 18th, compelled the Carlists to raise the siege of Bil boa ; but this last report we do not credit, as the cor respondents of two Morning Journals, writing from Bayonne, assert that on 'the evening of the 18th the siege still continued. The garrison were in excellent spirits, and had displayed uncommon energy in oppos ing the assaults of the Carlists. Several of the Urbanos had performed feats of valour worthy of the most chi valrous era in the history of the Spanish nation. When the express left Paris, a courier had arrived from Madrid, bearing despatches from the Spanish to the French GoveiTtnent, to the 19th instant. Their contents had then not transpired, but it was generally believed that they were important, as immediately after the arrival of the courier, a Council of Ministers was held at the Foreign Office, from whence the. Members proceeded in a body to the Thuilleries. We understand from an authentic source that the subject of the dispatches received in Paris from the Spanish Government, relates to the question of -intervention, which TonENo again presses on the consideration of King Louis Plitt.LipPE. We presume to think that the Spanish Minister has written to shew that the crisis in the affairs of Spain, which in the opinion of the King of the FRENC if, WIMI4 alou . intify, inter vention, has arrived , and that it now reautins for France to redeem her pledges. It appeals inorcock.r that Spain is determined to refuse any left-handed intervention on the part of France, and that unless France co-operates with the QUEEN'S Government as a nation, all covert assistance will be refused. Of this a remarkable instance is given by a Morning Contemporary; which states, that on the offer being made by, the Foreign Ministers of France to the Duke de FRIAS, Spanish Ambassador at Paris, of permis sion to raise an auxiliary force for the service of the Queen of SPAIN, his Excellency answered that he could not undertake to avail_ himself of it, as General ALAVA had done, when a similar permission was of fered by the British Government. The Spanish au thorities justly dread' the appearance of a French auxiliary force in Spain, unless under the direct con trol of the French Government. FRENCH FUNDS —PARIS, Juxu 23.

In case the levy of recruits in Belgium should not take place, the.. talian and Polish refugees have re solved to join together, to go as volunteers to combat in Spain with the English corps which is raising for Queen ISABELLA 11. They have even written to Colonel EVANS, informing him of their intention to ob tain a passage in the ships intended for the expedition.

The German Sovereigns have, in consequence of the friendly Note addressed to them, on the 18th ult., by the Government of the Canton of Berne, given orders to their respective Ambassadors to r e t urn t o tb. e capital of the Canton, and to lose no opportunity of proving to the Confederated States that they no longer entertain feelings- hostile to the interests of the Re public.

There were two Special Jury cases fixed for trial this day —Meyer v. Jadis, and Steen v. Curre, Esq. In the first only five Special Jurymen answered, and plaintiff's Counsel refused to pray a tales. In the second case Sir William Follett, for the plaintiff, said .he was not quite prepared, as the case had come on sooner than he had expected. De fendant's Counsel would not , consent to any postponement, and the record was withdrawn. , The COURT rose at teir o'clock. , COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) CON.-BIRCH V. NRELB. Mr. BROWNE opened the proceedings in this case, which was an action brought by the Rev. Mr: Birch against the Rev. Mr. Neele, for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's .wife. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. THESSIGER appeared for the plaintiff, and said that whe ther it regarded , the painful nature of this inquiry—the sacred calling of both the partiei-L-the relation in which they stood towards each other—thiedeep injury' which the plaintiff had re ceived, and the deliberate treachery of the defendant, he felt almost inadequate to perform the duty he had undertaken. In the performance of that duty he did not consider it necessary to make those general observations whiCh would occur to all minds in an investigation 'of this description. Unfortunately, cases of this kind were of such frequent occurrence, that those observations .could be almost anticipated. He considered it sufficient to make a simple recital of the circumstances of the. case, coupled with such observations as would naturally rise in the course of the inquiry. The plaintiff was a clergyman, the son of Alderman Birch, and was rector of the large parish of Hackney, to which•living he had been presented in 1828. He was of the age of 36. At the time 7he was presented to the living, the rectory house was not ready for his reception. He re quested a person of influence to look out for some place where he might reside tillthe rectory house was ready. Accordingly the house of Mr. Lieshington, the keeper of a respectable school, was chosen for the purpose. The family Consisted, besides Mr. Lushington, of his wife and three daughters, one of whom was the object of this enquiry. After some short time that the plaintiff had lived in this family, he paid his ad dresses to one of the daughters, whose name was Mary Anne ; and in the beginning-of the year 1829 he married her with the approbation of both their families. She was then of the age of - .18, and the plaintiff was about 28. He took her home, and they lived together for five or six years in uninterrupted happiness. The plaintiff was a kind and indulgent husband ; the wife was. affectionate, and he believed it would not be pre tended on the other side that the slightest imputation attached to the conduct of these parties up to the unfortunate moment when the defendant made his appearance. Their union had 'been blessed with two children • one of them five, and the other two years of age. In this manner they lived happy in each other's society till the year 1833, when the de fendant having been requested in the latter part of the former year to preach a charity sermon; and the plaintiff requiring a curate to discharge the important duties of his large parish, the defendant recommended himself as a powerful preacher, and being introduced to the plaintiff by some friends, was ap pointed to be his curate. The defendant was a widower ; lse was a man of the age of 34, and was the father of one child. Introduced as he had been into the parish, of course a con siderable intimacy sprung up immediately between the parties, and a short time after be had been appointed curate, he was invited by the plaintiff to dinner, and it was observed that during the greater part of the day, his eyes were rivetted on Mrs. Birch, and his 'whole attention was directed to her; and on coming away, he remarked to a gentleman who was with hint, that " she was a pretty little woman." This might appear trifling, but it• was important when they con sidered that it was evident that Mrs. Birch, almost from the first anoment, made an impression upon the defen (l,int's heart. What ought to be the course he should have pursued • under such circumstances ? Did .not pru dence, if -not-- a. higher duty, require that -he ghoul' fly? He • had the feelings of domestic happi ness, and the - pain of having it sacrificed. If he had been capable of . a matrient's reflection, he Could have felt that how ever miserable that man might be, whose wife was torn away by the hand of death, and embalmed in his tenderest recollec tions, that he was tenfold happier than the mail whose wife was torn away by the ruthless hand of an adulterer, and whom ho could only think of with shame and agony. But the de fendant cared not for this—he had his passion to gratify—he was determined, therefore, to make his footing sure. He continued to perform the sacred duties of curate—taking ad vantage of the opportunities it afforded of holding a constant intercourse with Mrs. Birch. He dined with the plaintiff every Sunday, and on those other days during the week on which divine service was performed. He became in this man ner almost part of the family, and took advantage of the confidence reposed in him to ruin the happiness of those parties. The parties who first suspected that something like an improper intimacy was growing, if not established, were those who 'were naturally alive and inquisitive on these occasions—the servants. They observed 'that the defendant was constant in his visits at those times when the plaintiff was absent ; their attention was awakened, and one little circum stance after another confirmed their suspicions. In June, 1833, the plaintiff went to St. Leonard's for a few days with his wife, leaving his children and servants behind him. Here, then, was an opportunity of beginning that deliberate plan of treacherous seduction. During his absence the plaintiff re ceived a letter from the.defendant, informing hint that the servants were afraid of remaining in the house without sonw man to sleep there during his absence. The servants had never expressed any such apprehension; and had manifested no such desire. It was evident that this Was tit pave the way to his own introduction on some future occasion, which he knew would shortly occur, on which he might carry his plans into execution. He was aware that the defendant must proceed shortly to i ambridge without his wife, and if" he could lull suspicion by being, allowed to sleep in the house during . the plaintiff's absence, he trusted that on that future occasion, 1 which was so soon to occur, he would be also admitted without suspicion. Accordingly he slept in the house, during the ab sence of the plaintiff, for five or six nights : and his object being thus accomplish. d, he wrote another letter, to say that the servants, having got what they wished, did not require any thing farther, and it would not be necessary to sleep in the house any longer. This also was a mere pretence, but the object was answered—he had got a footing in the house, and this was the first step towards the accomplishment of his purposes. The plaintiff returned from St. Leonard's, and on the 25th of June he again set out for Cambridge. He in_ treated particular attention to this part of the case. It was arranged that the defendiint should sleep, during the plaintiff's absence, in his house;' and it might be remarked, on the other side, that it was folly and recklessness to trust the defendant in his house under such circumstances. But why should the plaintiff suspect the defendant ? Why should he suspect his wife ? Was there any thing to raise his suspicion ? On the contrary, was there not everything to satisfy 'him that the defendant might be safely trusted, and that his wife might be confidently relied on ? The plaintiff admitted that he had been foolish enough to trust the defendant, to rely upon him with perfect confidence. Let the other side make the most of that admission. The plaintiff then left for Cambridge on the 25th of June. The defendant drove him to meet the coach, and afterwards it was arranged that he should take Mrs. Birch to St. Paul's, it being the anniversary' of the Sons of the Clergy. • They did so, and returned home and dined ; but before he proceeded to the occurrences of the latter part of the day, he wished to call attention to some little circumstances that occurred, which helped to raise the suspicions of the servants, and make them more watchful. They must . not expect direct occular proof of the facts—it was not in the nature of things, it was only from circumstances that they must infer a criminal conversa tion; and he trusted to be able to satisfy them that the connec tion of circumstances could not have existed without adulterous connection. Mrs. Birch, .on the day the plaintiff left home, had given directions to put clean sheets upon the bed. The regular 'time for doing so was not come, and the servant made some. observation ta. this effect ; but Mrs. Birch said her husband did not like clean sheets, or some such evasive answer, and the sheets were accordingly put upon the bed ; and in the evening of the day it was observed that in the folds of Mrs. Birch's dressing-gown there was a bunch of lavender. She never paid this attention to her husband. The parties, as he stated, dined together, and Miss Lushington, the sister of Mrs. 8., came to the Rectory-house, and offered to sleep with Birch. Of course this offer was declined, and the defendant saw Miss Lushington home. On his return the family as sembled to perform a solemn duty, which he (Mr. Thessiger) wished had been neglected—he meant 'family prayers. This Clergyman, at the moment when he was about to consum mate his plan, and sow the seeds of misery in this family, chose to insult his God with the pretended homage of an adulterous heart. Before the servants retired, the defen dant told them not to be surprised if they should hear him moving about, as he had his sermon to prepare. This was on Tuesday, and the defendant, who was a very powerful preacher, had very frequently boasted that he never thought of his sermon till Friday or Saturday. At twelve o'clock the defendant went to his room, and in the course of the night one of the servants thought she heard the defendant's door open. In the morning, when the servants went t o make Mrs. B.'a bed, th ere were evident marks of two I ..„ persona fraying slept. there;. 414 there viteN•otbar indication sexual intercourse between the par with which he would net disgust three or four nights, and the ser vants- • • ..... santstied the ser ainsl to try air the, plaintiff returned, an experiment, in order to tc..anit. d ti o ll a t . bt p r its : e i h continued h h." .for evening ascertain aacleirly as possible what was going on. They lighted a rtishlight,• went across 'the passage and found that to watch the parties, when the door of Mrs. B.'s d there room opene was a complete view of the per -were satisfied that this eit periment would succeed, and on going to the defendant's roorn,they observed that the lock and hinges of the door had been oiled, and one of them observed halls glass of oil. None of them had oiled the door ; and the Jury must infer, to the best of their judgments, who were the persons or person who did it. At night the parties all retired to bed, with the exception of the servants—they remained to watch, and, after a little time, they heard the defendant's room door , open„ and they heard the creaking of footsteps across the passage ; it was dark ; they heard Mrs. B's. door gradually open, and a light streamed from the door for a moment, and was then intercepted by a p erson cross ing, and the door was 'shut. The 'servants?waited some time, and then knocked at the door. Mrs. B. answered, and let something drop. They then went to the defendant's doer, and knocked loudly, lint no answer was returned. The ser vants then descended the stairs to get a light, when Mrs. B. came out ; she spoke to one of them, and immediately they heard the defendant's room door shut. They had neither heard nor seen him crossing the passage, for Mrs. B. stood on the landing place and was - speaking to them. Under these circumstances it would be for the Jury, as reason able men to declare whether they had the slightest doubt that an adulterous connection had taken place. It was not from one solitary circumstance that this was to be inferred, but from the whole taken together; and they must be satisfied that these circumstances were utterly inconsistent with inno cence. But there was one other circumstance which would rerhove any doubt if any could exist. Next morning the ser vants, in the presence of the defendant, charged him with having been in Mrs. B.'s room. What would have been the language of an innocent man ? Would he not have denied it, and defied them, and would he not have informed the plaintiff when he arrived of the calumny of the servants ? But :the, answer of the defendant was, " Do not say a word about it. If you do, Mrs. B. will be sent to her mother, the children, will 'be sent to Alderman Birch, and I must quit the country." Was this language consistent with innocence ? The plaintiff came home 'on the following day, and the de fendant . left the,.rectory, and-did not appear there for several days. He began to be -apprehensive, but after some little time he resumed his visits again. The plaintiff was during this time perfectly unsuspecting. Time ran on, and it appeared that the defendant having probably gratified his passion, and considering the affection of Mrs. Birch was no longer worth having, he began to be more careless, and less frequent in his attendance. And it was evident that her mind was affected by his conduct, for in July, 1834, she meditated self-destruc tion. On the Bth of August, the defendant called at the Rec tory, and had an interview of half an hour's length with Mrs. Birch, when he left her, and in the course of the same after noon, she left her home in a walking dress. It rained hard. She was witheut an - umbrella ; anti - towards the evening she attempted to destroy herself by throwing herself into the New River. She was extricated ; and in incoherent language she requested -that—not her husband, but—the defendant should be sent for. Accordingly, a messenger haying been dispatched for i i.i;,he arrived, and in the course of his observations, he gave the plaintiff a character, as a husband,. which would make very strongly against, himself (the defendant). At least, the plaintiff's suspicions were awakened. He gave the defendant notice to quit the: curacy, and he believed that after that day, the defendant never made his appearance in the Rectory house. The plaintiff removed his wife to DoVer, from whence he returned home in October. He then learned that the de fendant had exhibited letters of his wife to different persons in the parish. This led to an inquiry upon the subject, and ulti mately he obtained the whole truth, and was convinced that his happiness was irretrievably gone. He pursued the course he thought, best--it was not for him to cast his wife off entirely to the mercy of the , stranger and her own remorse—he obtained lodgings for her, and left her.under the care of a servant who had been in the family for some time, and there shelhad re mained since. He had then an account to settle with the de fendant, and he had been compelled, reluctantly compelled, to make his wrongs public in a court of justice. It was the only remedy he had, in the first place, for so deep an injury, to have recourse to a jury of his countrymen, to ask them to consider all the 'circumstances of the case, and to determine be tween him andliis former friend—the adulterer with his wife. What course the defendant should pursue it was impossible for' him to anticipate. He now approached the question cf damages. It was unpleasant to have to refer to subjects of this, nature in a' case of this description. The law allowed no other remedy, and they were called upon to estimate in dama ges the amount of an injury' which could be satisfied by no pe cuniary compensation.' It might be said that the circumstances of the defendant were such, that 'heavy damages would ruin and crush - hirri:' Be . it sn—he did not consider that the defen dant was entitled to much consideration at their hands—they could not make him more wretched than he had made the plaintiff; and if their verdict drove him from the Church to which he was a disgrace, the Church would be benefitted by being purged of such a scandal. Under these circumstances he trusted that they would only look at the grievous injury the plaintiff had sustained, from one in whoth he relied with such perfect composure. - Rev. Mr. 'Howard examined 'by Mr. .HUMPHREYS—deposed that be had married the plaintiff and his wifein 1829, and had visited them afterwards. They appeared to be very much at tached to One another, and the plaintiff was a most indulgent husband. Never observed any difference in the manner or conduct of plaintiff's wife until June, 1834, when Mrs. Birch appeared very much worn away, and greatly depressed in spi rits. They had a family of two boys—one about five or six years old, and the other:two ycars younger. Cross-examined by Sir F. PoLLocx—The plaintiff obtained the living of West Hackney in the year 1828. He was of the same standing as witness. , Witness resided chiefly in college, but visited the plaintiff and his wife -five or six times a year, _giving at their house sometimes for two or three days. The defendant obtained his curacy in 1833. Rev, John Hall—Has been upon habits of intimacy with the plaintiff for six or seven years. The plaintiff and his wife appeared to live most happily together. Cross-examined by Mr. Rienaens—Lives at Wilmington square, Pentotiville. Saw' the plaintiff and his wife last in the month of October, 1834. They dinedwith witness. Rev: 'Mr. Taylor, Rector of Stolie-Newington—Knows the plaintiff and his wife since 1830. Was on habits of intimacy with them, and , they appeared to live in the greatest harmony. Rev. C. -J. -Heathcotc gave evidence - to -the same effect. Mackintosh Brookes,:an architect, of Adam-street, Adel Phi, gave similar evidence. Has made the plan of the upper story of plaintiff's house, now produced, which is a correct one. Thomas Sharpe has known the plaintiff and his wife since their marriage. They appeared to him a happy couple. Saw them last together in the early part of 1834. James Williams, ship agent, resides at Hommerton. Was on intimate terms with the plaintiff's family for seven years. They appeared to live very happily together. Last saw them together about twelve months ago. • Elizabeth Eldred was formerly in the service of plaintiff. Went as housemaid there in January 1830. Plaintiff and his wife appeared to live very happily together. Recollects the defendant preaching a charity sermon in November 1832, and he became curate to' the plaintiff in January 1833. On Tuesdays and Fridays there was service to be per formed at the church, and on those days defendant used to lunch at the plantiff's. Mr. Neele was there also on other occasions. Plaintiff appeared to treat him very kindly. Mr. Neele drove Mr. Birch out a few times in plaintiff's phaeton. In March, 1833, while laying the lunch, saw de fendant with his elbows on his knees, looking up at Mrs. Birch, and speaking to her. Did not hear exactly what he said to her. It had attracted witness's attention, as she had net seen the like with other gentlemen. Mr. Neele's visits were rather frequent at that time, and mostly when the plain tiff was absent. On one occasion, when Mr. Neele was with Mrs. Birch; a knock came to the door-hall. Witness went to the room where they were, and observed the roori: rather dark, but did not go in. On going into the room, fre quently observed her mistress confused. The eldest child was alwayi sent out of the room, or to walk with witness, by Mrs. Birch's directions, when Mr. Neele came. Recollects plaintiff and his wife going to St. Leonard's. The children were left behind. The defendant came• and slept at plaintiff's hbuse iii their absence. He requested a bed to be prepared in her mistress's room. The family returned in ten days or a fortnight. Plaintiff shortly afterwards went from home, and the day before he left home Mrs. Birch directed witness to put clean sheets, on the bed. Witness went out for a holi day the • day her master left home, and came home at ten o'clock at night. Witness and her fellow-servant suspecting something went to her mistress's bedroom, and found some lavender rolled up in her night-dress—this was very unusual. Prayers were read in the parlour that night to the family by Mr. Neele. Mr. Neele called for slippers, and told witness he was going to sit up for some time to write; and if she heard any noise not to be surprised. Mrs. Birch then went to her bed room, and witness went up stairs and asked her did she wish td have the elder boy to sleep with her for company. Mrs. Birch hesitated, and said " Not to-night." Witness and the other servant then retired to their own room. Mr. Neele breakfasted next morning with Mrs. Birch. Witness made her mistress's bed next morning, and it appeared that two persons had slept in it.—[Witness described the appearance of the bed clothes and napkins, which she found in a drawer in the room j Witness was sent that day with the children to Mrs. Williams by her mistress. Mr. Neele and her mistress went out toge ther that day, and in the afternoon, between seven and eight o'clock, her mistress came to Mrs. Williams's, and went then to her sister's. This was the 26th June last;and,the room op pOsite Mrs. Birch's was fixed as. Mr. Neele's sleeping room. From that time,to the 24 July, witness and the'other servant remarked that two persons must have slept in her mistress's bed. On the night of the, 2d July, witness. and her fellow.. servant went into the' nursery" a few , minutes before twelve. They obierved that the lock and hinges of Mr. Neele's room door had been recently oiled.' Witness had seen half a glass ofoil on that,day in her mistress's room. Mr. Ne e l e ' s room door used to creak before that time. The curtains of her mis tress's bed were drawn at the foot during that week more closely than usual. They were usually open at the foot of the bed. Mrs. Birch and Mr. Neele had then gone to their rooms. After one o'clock witness' heard the boards Creaking in Mr. Neele's room, and then heard the door open: Some person walked about the landing, and then her mistress's door creaked and , the door opened. There was a light inside. Witness saw some person moving at her mistress's door ; the person 'went into hermistress's room, and then it closed. Ttin , re were nu persons in the', house at th e ti n ,. I- jut the defoliant, Mrs. ..fliness and her fellow-st.rvant. A ...s afterwards, witness and the other servant went to uermistreserdn't iiitlitrtispe t sl weNatedlp 411 tatuatr 4 ifi l 4lit d i what they wanted, Ind dropped ttie‘fiti 9amto 0,4 ic, door was fastened inside. They said they heard a noise, and Mrs. Birch told them to go to bed, that there Was no noise. They then knocked loudly at 'Mr. Neele's door, but got no answer. They then went to Mrs. Birch's room, anti said they had no light; " Mrs. Birch desired Ahem go down stairs and fetch the tinder-box. When going down'stairs Mrs. 13-came to the head of the stairs in her night-dress,and witness then heard t pee-,on r..c.-; Mrs. r e n,-1 to thc opposite one. Sh e could not sae who it was as her mistress stood before be t. When the other servant brought up th e light, she went irate Mrs. Birch's room, and then tapped at Mr. Neele's door. Mt' Neele opened the door and asked what was the matter? They said there was a noise at her mistress's door, and if there had been thieves the dogjwould have barked. Mrs. Birch was tbes standing at the head of the stairs. Mr. Neele was very pale' and his hand shook very much whey, he took the candle from -the other servant. On the following morning witness % called into the breakfast-room and found Mrs. Birch and 3 4 r' Neele. Mrs. Birch was in tears,_and Mr. Node said to Wit' ness and the other servant that they had stated be (Neele) ti t ee in her mistress's room. Witness said, they were_ certain be was in it. Mr. Neelc asked. how could you suppose it? They replied they were quits certain, and he did not positively deg it. He asked if they thought he , meant any harm to theirnde; tress. They said "no, he was too fond of mistrese. He asked, did they intend to tell their master when h e came home, and they said they did not wish to Wl ° him uncomfortable, as they - had lived happily since they had known them. Mr. Neele said if you-tell your master, the consequence will be this—Mistress will go home t° her father, the children will have to go to Alderman Birch and master and mistress would be parted, and he (Neele) niust leave the country. They said they would be very sorry indeed, if that happened, as th e y f e lt great res p e ct for master and mistress. Mr. Birch returned from Cambridg e about half-past three on that day—the bed had been made b e .i fore •he returned.. It appeared very much tumbl e d, a nd als . two persons bad slept in it. Mr. N ee l e did not sleep w the house after her master's return—he left-the house item!' diately. Witness saw Mr. N ee l e w h en go i ng away--- 4 1 looked very pale. He did not come to the house fora fen days afterwards, and he then visited as frequently as before. The trial was not concluded when we went to press. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS' HOUSE OF COMMONS.
