We have watched Turkey mustering, the whole force of the °Woman empire, drawing auxiliary battalions from her most remote Pachalics, from Egypt, from Da mascus, from llaleb, from Bagdad, and from Armenia, and congregating them all near the Golden Horn of the Bosphorus previously to marching them north wards through Roumelia to the Danube. We have watched the spread of popular ambition from Mol davia and Wallachia to the Podolian and Tran sylvanian provinces. We have observed Gal lids, at last, startled into activity by the triumphs of the Polish Generals. We have seen the legions of the AUTOCRAT pressing forward in earnest to the aid of Austria; and have recognised on the other hand the resolute, attitude assumed by the French democrats in the defence of their own Republican institutions, and in their sympathy for the true liberties of contemporary nationalities. Meanwhile Germany has passed on, comparatively speaking, unnoticed. Occasionally the attention of Englishmen has been fixed upon her for an instant when intelligence has arrived to the effect that Baden has risen in arms, or that the Saxons have driven their Monarch from his capital, or that Dresden is in the hands of a Provisional Government. Yet, now-a-days, revolutions have become such matters-of-course that we are almost in the same state of mind as the hero in Mr. BOURCICAULT'S farce, who looked down the crater of Vesuvius and declared, shrugging his shoulders, that there was " nothing in it." We read down the list of a Provisional Government with the same air of ennui and come to the conclusion, shrugging our shoulders, that there is " nothing in it." Saving and excepting these momentary glances at the events which have of late oc curred in Germany, the gaze of the majority of our countrymen, has, of late, we are satisfied, been turned in totally different directions. Considering, however, that the whole of the onward movement of the Confederation has been impeded by a variety of recent obstructions and difficulties, we think it would be only just in those who have in any, way sympa thised in the commencement of that movement to examine into those casualties which have latterly threatened to prevent its successful termination. The old evil has again sprung into existence. State is being marshalled against state. Jealousies which had been for a while nearly extinguished have been fanned into a flame from their warm ashes. The feeling which ruined the cause of NAPOLEON in Spain, where each of his Marshals refused to become subordinate to the other, thereby splitting the French army into divisions, and allowing them to be over come piecemeal by the English and Spaniards under WELLINGTON—has begun to affect the members, and destroy the cause of the German Confederation. None of the kingdoms or principalities will consent to waive their claims for precedence; political, geo graphical, and even religious feuds are revived; and by this means the strength of the democratic majority is being frittered away by an ingenious intrigue on the part ot the aristocratic minority. V.' e repeat—of the aristocratic minority; for we are satisfied that the whole of the recent differences are attributable to " the Bureaucratie, the recipients of the public expenditure," who see in the estrange ment of the various principalities the one from the other the only available means of preventing that combination which would deprive them at once of their provincial pay, power, and import ance. This is the traitorous hand which has been furtively thrust into the delicate mechanism of the nascent Government of United Germany, dis arranging all those exquisite portions which had been fitted together with such laborious caution and such elaborate ingenuity. In a letter addressed, during the course of the pre sent May, to her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary by the Honourable Baronet the Representative of Bed ford, there occur one or two of those home sentences which display more vividly than a thousand of the subtlest arguments the right of Germany to struggle for her unity as a nation. In answer to those who sneer, at the present movement as akin to the chase of an ignis fatuus, or of a mirage, or of a fata morgana, Sir HARRY VERNEY simply remarks that the people of Germany remember " that Germany was as much one country under CHARLES V., as France under FRANCIS I." Further on, he says, " The Germans are in many respects taking the lead in European civilization, and are they alone to be deprived of constitutional government ? Spain, and Portugal, and Sweden, and Norway, and now Denmark, have representative constitutions (and he might have said Greece), as well as France and Britain, and will Germany be content without them ?" But yet later he gives the strongest reason of all—this: " Out of Germany, a man born between the Alps and the Baltic is known only as a German. Why," he in quires, " should not all Germans have a common fatherland at home as well as abroad ?" Why ? The question is asked by forty millions—inhabitants of Germany l The answers of the reactionists are their intrigues. Shell the movement therefore be ineffec tual? GOD forbid. Germany has declared itself for unity: unity shall be to Germany I ebeeniact LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1849. While the general attention has been attracted to wards almost every other quarter of the globe, Ger many, for the time being almost unobserved, has been gradually sinking into an abyss of difficulties. During the-last month our observations have been necessarily absorbed by those more startling events which have illustrated the current history of both hemispheres. Wa have witnessed the rise of Hungary to inde pendence, her children conquering the oppressors of their country, and, to use the noble words of ARMAND Maui/Ater, inscribing their rights upon the bulle tins. of their victori3s. " We have seen the victor of Sobraon successful in accomplishing - what the victor of Arbela had only ineffectually attempted. We have seen the tranquillity of Canada interrupted, and Fee loyalty insulted, by riots fomented by men beggared in reputation, and without even the shadow of a grievance to palliate the crime of rebellion. W e have seen the ancient monarchy of Denmark battling for the integrity of its dominions in the peninsula of Jutland, and threatening the seaports of Pomerania with the fleets of the Baltic, We have seen spatn On Monday we directed the public attention to the vigorous exertions now making throughout the entire country for the attainment of the social and political reforms so urgently required by the great body of the people. The Metropolitan Financial and Par liamentary Reform Association have put forward a programme of the legislative alterations for w hich they are prepared to agitate, and these alterations are sufficiently extensive to ensure the active co-opera tion of every true reformer. The first point insisted on is the extension of the elective franchise to many of those who are now wholly unrepresented, who are mere political cyphers, without any voice in the enactment of the laws by which they are to be governed and controlled. Such persons have indeed but too much reason to complain of the injustice ex hibited towards them. They contribute largely to the national expenditure, not only to the maintenance and support of the public establishments, but also to the interest of a debt contracted before they were born, and for which they received no valuable consideration. Their labour was mortgaged be fore they came into the world, and not a single day passes, not even a meal can be taken, that a portion of the earnings of their honest industry not absorbed in providing for the expenses of the State. It has been said that there can be no "just taxation without representation." The truth of the assertion has never been controverted, and yet, under the present sys'em of indirect imposts, the humblest labourer, the hardest worked operative is bound to pay far more than his proportion of the public burdens, while his claim to the elective franchise is superciliously and contemptuously rejected. The prices of tea, of sugar, of tobacco, of beer, and of other humble luxuries, that have almost become necessaries of life, are enormously increased by the Customs and Excise duties. Forty or fifty per cent. of his earnings are expended in the additional charges thereby occasioned, but he is not permitted to have a voice in the election of those by whom the national expenditure is controlled and regulated. A comparison of the number oft the Lnd T registered United voters with the actual population in King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, gill exhibit this anomaly in the strongest light, will afford the strongest illustration of the multitudes that are thus excluded from the privileges and rights that should belong to every free-born citizen in a free country. The population of the United Kingdom amounts in round numbers to nearly twenty-eight millions of persons; of England and Wales to more than sixteen millions; of Scotland to nearly three millions, and of Ireland to nearly nine millions. The number of registered electors for that vast body amounts to but little more than a single million, that is to say, there is but one person possessing a vote for the election of a popular repre sentative out of every twenty-eight throughout the country, and this proportion will be still further re duced, if the number of those who are registered twice or oftener in different counties, be taken into consideration. The mere fact will, however, appear sufficiently startling without entering into more minute calculations, by which the disparity may be * " Some Observations on the Affairs of Germany, in a Letter addrt ss , ci to the Right Hon. ViF:count Pgliner won." By Sir Harry Verney, Bart., M.P. Bvo., pp. 12. James Ridgway, London; 18.19. exhibited in even a more striking light. It is true that women and children are included in the twenV-eight rnil!ions above re. ferred to, but the adult males may be fairly estimated at one•fourth of the entire num ber, or seven millions. llere, then, we find at least six persons excluded for every one entitled to the elective franchise, and amongst them will be found many as fully qualified by education and general in telligence, by the possession of liberal opinions and sound patriotic views, as any that could be produced even from among the ranks of the hereditary legis • lators. These parties now call upon their more favoured brethren to aid them in a peaceful and constitutional agitation for the attainment of their political rights that have hereto fore so unjustly been withheld. The act will carry with it its own reward. The infusion of additional popular strength into the Legislature will speedily remove the various abuses that have sprung up during successive centuries. If a full and fair representation of the people were once achieved, the nation would not long suffer under the evils by which it is now afflicted. It would not call in vain for fiscal, financial, or monetary reform. The association does not at present demand a uni versal suffrage ; it does not insist upon every inhabitant of the country 'being entitled to the elective franchise. Education has not as yet, perhaps, been sufficiently diffused to qualify every man to form a sound opinion on public affairs, but that affords no sufficient justification for the narrow limits within which the franchise is restricted. It is not because every man could judiciously exercise the right, that vast numbers are to be excluded who labour under no disqualification. The franchise to all should be the rule—the want of it should be the excep tion, in place of, as under the present system, where the absence is the rule, the possession the exception. To effect these great and comprehensive changes gradually is the object of the association. They de sire to obtain for every male occupier of a tenement, or any portion of a tenement, the right to be regis tered as an elector, the only condition being "his being rated, or having claimed to be rated, for the relief of the poor in respect of the qualifying pre mises." An addition of between three and four mil lions, or of about one half of the adult male population of the United Kingdom, would be thereby imme diately made to the several constituencies. There are few, indeed, who could with justice complain if such a proposition were adopted. Every honest and in dustrious man might look forward to attaining such a position by his own exertions, and the prospect would stimulate those exertions, so that while endea vouring to obtain the franchise he would be qualify ing himself for the judicious exercise thereof when attained. A more judicious decision, or one better calcu lated to unite all honest reformers under one banner, could not have been devised. Those who have heretofore advocated the household suffrage can scarcely object to its extension to lodgers who have the exclusive right to their own apartments, and who are rezpomible, in re spect thereof, for a fair proi ortion of the poor-rate chargeable on the entire tenements ; while, on the other hand, the supporters of universal suffrage cannot consistently remain neutral, or refuse to co operate for the attainment of that which would constitute so large an instalment of the justice which they are disposed to claim on behalf of the unrepre sented population of the United Kingdom. [CIE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following official ac count of the resignation by the President of the Con stituent Assembly of his powers into the hands of the new Legislative Assembly:— M. ARMAND AIARRAST, attended by the Vice- Presidents, Secretaries, and Questors, received the Provisional President and Secretaries of the Legisla tive Assembly, whom he addressed as follows : " The bureau of the Constituent Assembly holds it to be an honour to await and receive you here for sake of authenticating that under the empire of our Republican Constitution, there cannot be any inter mittence in the legislative powers. Your presence puts an end to our powers and duties. Oar career is terminated, and yours begins. Elect of the people ! be ye welcome. More happy than your predecessors, may you shun, at least, the horrors of civil war. If, as I hope, the national Legislative Assembly shall worthily respond to the wishes of France, your pre decessors, who are first to salute you, will equally be the first to thank you and to bless you." M. KERATRY replied—" In the name of the Le gislative Assembly, I accept your good wishes and the hopes you have had the goodness to express in favour of our future labour. Faithful to our man date, we will endeavour to respond to public expecta tion, happy to be seconded by you and your honour able friends. We do you the justice to say that you have traversed difficult days with nobleness and courage ; and if blood has unhappily flowed, you have put an end to deplorable calamities; and better days already shine on our country, for which you merit thanks, and by my voice the Legislative As sembly expresses gratitude." At the meeting of the Legislative Assembly on Monday, M. ODILON BARROT ascended the tribune, and said that the Legislative Assembly was now, according to the terms of the Constitution, convoked dej ure. It holds its power by the will of the nation. The executive power for the moment does no more than declare the fact, and join in the hopes which the country has placed in you. A general expose of the affairs of the Government will be placed before you. The Government will be ready to fulfil that duty as soon as the Assembly should be regularly constituted. The sitting of yesterday commenced by the nomi • nation of the presidents and secretaries of the several bureaux for the ensuing month. The following were the norninations-Ist bureau, president, M. Mole ; secretary, M. de Larcy-2d, M. de Panat, M. Berard —3d, not known-4th, Marshal Bugeaud, M. de Ga:londe-sth, General Bedeau, M. Victor Lefranc —6th, M. Baroche, M. Poujoulet-7th, M.

Bauchart, M. de Laboulie —l3th, Mauguin, N. Fresnau-14th, N. Fs an 9 Arago. Leverrier-15th, General Cavaignac, N. Payer. Each bureau then appointed five commissioners to verify the election returns. A discussion then took place on a motion for an nulling the election returns which may have been supposed to have been influenced by the telegraphic dispatch of M. LEON FAUCHER, which, it appears, contained an additional portion marked " confiden tial," in which the Prefects were enjoined to urge the Ministerial nominees who might be elected to pro ceed to Paris with all speed, probably with a view of assisting in the contemplated coup d'etat for the de struction of the Republic. The discussion was ad journed to the next day. The National declares that M. DUFAURE has posi tively declined taking office. The following appears in the Pattie on the subject of the Ministry :—" Vs e have reason to believe that nothing has been resolved upon as to the composition of the Ministry, and that all the compositions hitherto proposed have been abandoned. It is asserted that Marshal BuGEAUD is charged with the formation of the Ministry." The Place de la Concorde and all the avenues lead ing to the Assembly were occupied by troops, There was not, however, the least attempt at disorder, and it would seem as though General CHANGARNIER'S sole object was to harass the troops, for he ought by this time to be aware that his efforts to exasperate, the people are utterly useless. The following official announcement of the dissolu tion of the electoral committee of the club of the Rue de Poitiers has been " communicated" to the journals:— "The electoral committe I' r . naed.by the old club of the t w ts i e ll lf since the elections - have de he e P n o Poitiers n h a a t s ed. dissolved i u e i ° t mission the remembered that ary Thii propaganda of anti socialista:etd, d e d to its te propaganda. mpor itad considerable funds were collected, ands great eing them has already been expanded upon the portion ob. of which they were destined. rho committee hai notobject t t o seconded the establishment and the distribution or only po pular papers, but it has had c o m posed thirty-five pamphlets containing sound ideas upon social morality, : . 1-1 nas distributed, at the lowe s t pric 5, 4,435,000 co pies of each. These works have not entirely exhausted .he whole of the sums collected. There still remains an important amount, which is to be appiied in the first in stance on a permainent work on social conservation. The committee has resolved to remit this balance to a society about to be formed fur et ,mbatting those doctrines, which are adverse to the interests and happiness of all. This society will shortly publish its organization and its programme," The Ledru Rollin section of the Legislative Assembly have formed a club for the discussion o f a ll important questions which may be brought forward by the Assembly. The Presidents are—Ledru Rollin, Able Lammen nais, Benne, and Devhle. The Secretaries are— l3ertholin, Pelletier, S er geant Rattier, and Sergeant c mmissaire. The Treasurer—Sergeant-d aj or Boichot.

Gambon, Bethelon, Pelletier, Nadaut, Jules Jeroux, and Corn missaire ; Questors, MM. Brivi:s, Dufraisse, and Rattier. A Socialist banquet, attended by no less than 1,800 persona, to the representatives of the Montagne, tool: place on Monday at the Jardin do la Liberte Barriere Poissonniere. There were about twelve representa tives present, among whom were M. P. LEROUX and Sergeant RATTIER. M. LEDRU ROLLIN did not attend. While the company was at diener a com missary of police appeared, and claimed his right to be present. This being refused, he retired, but before two speeches were delivered, and while Sergeant RATTIER was addres . sing the company, he re appeared, accompainied by two companies of in fantry. The President immediately protested against the violence used, and the whole party at one rose and left the place without the slightest disturbance or violence, but crying " Vive la Republique Demo cratique et Sociale." Lord WALLSCOURT died in Paris on Sunday. It . is said that the Foreign Minister has assured the POPE'S Nuncio of the intention of the French Govern ment to disavow M. DE LESSEPS, and to . .recal him from Rome, inasmuch as he bad exceeded ids instruc tions by treating with the Roman triumvirs. It is supposed that the PRESIDENT of the REPUBLIC has been persuaded to adopt this step by M. DE FaELoux, who appears to have obtained a complete ascendancy over him.

The Herald() remarks that the time of realising this tariff reform is particularly apropos, inasmuch as re lations with England being suspended, no one can accuse the Government of yielding to foreign influ ence in propssing the new tariff law. The fact is, the commerce of Spain has been so completely smothered by protection, that the adoption of free trade has become a matter of necessity.

This assertion has excited the wrath of the court party at Vienna ; and the vituperations of their organs in the press of the capital have elicited a justification in reply, to which we are indebted for the tollowing particulars: — The present uncosered advance of the (miscallei) national bank at Vienna amounts ti 21,000,000/. sterling, or two hundred and ten millions of florins. This advance has been made in the shape of bank notes, issued on the demand and sole responsibility of the Council'or KRAUS, Minister of the Finances. It must not be forgotten that Kilatis took office during the sittings of the recognised diet of Vienna, end was sworn as constitutional and responsible Minister under the new state of things. As KRAUS continued as responsible Minister under the Diet of Kremsier, his irresponsible position dates only from Prince SCRWARZENBURG'S coup d (tat, by which that assembly was forcibly dispersed, and the young aspirant to the imperial crown commenced a despotic reign. But the advances to the Government have , been made by the Minister in three capacities, which he represented at the three epochs of Vienna, Krem sier, and Oimutz. The question whether all are equally valid will naturally be raised when a settle ment takes place, and may be decided differently, according as success is on the side of the absolutists or of the constitutionalists. If the EM . PEROR SliC ceed in putting down all liberty, will he recognise debts incurred on account of those who sought to force a constitutiou on the Court? If the Con stitutionalists vanquish their opponents, will they pay debts incurred to effect their de structiony There is, however, a previous ques tion to the payment of this sum, which has been su peradded to the enormous debt of the empire, and this is, can the notes be kept in credit and is circu lation until any time of redemption may come round? The figure of their depreciation is tolerably repre presented by the exchange on London, which is quoted now at 11 50 60 florins. The value of the pound sterling at par being 10 florins. Hear we have a depreciation of nearly twenty per Cent. Silver coin is, however, only quoted at seventeen per cent. de preciation. here the Frankfort papers let us into a secret of the Mint, roundly asserting th a t th e l a tt er issues of that establishment have been at a standard 1 1 of 24 florins to the mark of fi ne s il ver instead of 20 florins, the national standard. Hence, of course, the small er ag i o, go ld , w hi c h ' suits better for hoarding and ru nn i ng away th an silver, is quoted at 24 per cent. a ga i ns t no t es . I n i tranquil times, as there s little use for so large a coin, gold can scarcely be sold ev en f or it s va l ue as metal. The state of panic, mistr us t, an d demoralisa tion now existing at Vienna can be pretty accurately estimated from these figures. Of the various shifts resorted to by the Government to keep its notes in circulation, the f o ll ow i ng are re lated. Taxes are required to be paid half in silver and half iu notes. Loans have b een extorted b y com pellingPiecs are o& give silver and t a k e notes i n exchange. ol course paid in notes, whi c h amounts 11 sa salaries to the recipients to a reduction of one-fifth of their pay. But if these advances are continued ad libitum, or, rather, at the command of the Minister, to what discount must they not fall ? Y e t w ill no G overnor of the Bank refuse to give them as long as Generals Bonze and WELDEN form a court of app ea l ( ass i , _ttd by drum-head courts martial) on a ll accusations of treason. In like manlier, what is an unfortunate creditor to do whose debtors insi s t upon h i s taking these depreciated notes in payment of claims, on pain of being denounced as refusing to supp or t t h e Impe rial Government at a sacrifice ? . As a m a tt er o f course, all trade is at an end.

The markt. t was steady.— Railway Shares cumin ued to decline, prices of all kinds of Stock and Shares being lower. In the produce markets to day there are a good many sales, snit there is a di position to purchase to a moderete extent of the principal staples.

We have just heard, per electric telegraph, of news which is considi red to be of some importance to the mercantile community, and at the Beare time rather ominous likewisc. TN) Rub Roy steamer has returned to Hull with the mails on board, having been refused by the Dinith squadron permission to pass into the Elbe. 'leis looks serious, not so much on account of the act itself, as of the circumstat.ces which some unavoidably connect with it, viz., that the presence of the Russian fleet of observation has encouraged the Danes to be stricter than before, even to the extent of refusing the entry of the English mail. We may assume that while the unfortu nate contest lasts all correspondence must be sent by land, and the suspension of trade between this country and the north of Germany will be complete. Whether Russia intends active support a few days may determine, but the future is pregnant with interest, after the famous declaration of the Czar in the Hungarian matter. There was no Bourse at Amsterdam on Monday. The important firm of Bethman of Frankfort is about, it is st4tA, to remove the seat of its operations to Amsterdam. Indeed no part of Germany offers great temptation at present either for extent of business or security. At Berlin on the 26th inst. the stock market was dull, but without any particular alteration, and at Vienna on the 24th inst. prices were firm. There aro no arrivals from the colonies or distan parts. In the English Stock Murket there has been an in crease of real business, the operations being chit fly in the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. and Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities.

As the Transf,r-books for Consuls will shortly be closed, parties may be changing their investments. The quotations for Consols have been 91* to 910; Bank Stock has touched 195, but since receded sgain to 193. The accounts from France are looked upon as rather favourable in respect to tl:e ascendancy of the moderate party, but there is very little confidence, seeing the frequent assemblages of the people, that attempts at dinturbance will not be made. The premium on Exchequer-bills Las been 455. to 475., and on ludia Bonds 695. to 715. East India Stock has realised 250. The market for Spanish Bonds has been rather favourably irAluenced by a communication which the agents at Madrid of the Dutch and English bondholders have made to the London Committee, per Mr. James Cape', respecting their efforts to obtain soma settle meat of the foreign claims. A Commission is ap pointed by the Spanish Government specially to nego:iato with the agents, and since hope is inextinguishable, the creditors are still looking to some result. A more important circum stance to our thinking, however, is the forth coming marriage of the Count do Montemolin to an English lidy, and his probable renunciation of all claim to the Spanish crown on consideration of receiving a restorstiun of property commensurate with his royal descant. The Five per Cent. Bonds have been and the Three per Cents. 33 to e. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been nominally 26 to 28. Mexican BJe(ls are 29i to 30 with the coupens.

UNPEOFITABLE PROPHETS.—Our old friends the twopenny prophets are at work again, as busily as ever. We had recently the satisfaction of seeing, THE THIRD WOE—ONLY TWOPENCE 1 announced for sale, and could not help thinking that it was very cheap for the money. One enterprising fellow has started the " three vials" also. At first we imagined that he had been employed to dispose of a glass business at a great reduction; but wo speedily found that the "three Nials" wpm some very empty productif ns con cerning the fate of Europe. These iiaiustlious dogs are never at a loss when a prediction breaks down, but coolly substitute another in its place, and the end of the world has to our knowledge been unavoidably postponed on many dithreht occasions.-7 he Puppet MORE MERCHANTS ma.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY) CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The !arrival of English Wheat for our market this week coastwise has not exceeded 580 quarters, almost wholly from Essex.

EXCHEQUER.-(Tlii:i DAY.) (r7Attiuzs in Itanc,.) NESS V. ARMSTRONG. This was an ac:i,.n by the secretary of the North of England Joint Stock Lank, to recover a large sum of money in respect of calls from the defendant, as the executor of a dt.c3asei shareholder. At the trial a ver dict wa3 f,und fur the plaintiff, but, subsequently, a rule was obtained for leave to enter a nonsuit, which came on fur argument euring last term, when it wets contended that inasmuch as the dcrendant bad not re gistered hilmielt a:, a shareholder, he was not liable for any claims in respect of the testator's shares. 'rho I.ORD CHIEF BARON now delivered the judgment of the Curt, making the rule for a nonsuit absolute. The Court then proceeded to hear arguments in cases ' in which rules had been obtained for new trials, but they were purely of a technical character, and wholly devoid of general interest. CONSISTORY —(1 1 1 - 1IS DAY.) (Before Dr. LUSIIINGTON.) FAWCETT V. FAWCETT. This was a suit for a divorce instituted by the Rev. Bryan Fawcett, a clergyman residing at Cropthall, in Worcestershire, against his wife, on the ground of adul tery. The lady is the daughter of Sir John Trevelyan, of Wallington, in the county of Northumberland, and the party with whom it is alleged she committed adultery is Mr. Walter Trevelyan, her cousin, who resides at Nctherwitton, in the tame county. It appeared froin.the evidence in the cause that Mr. and Mra Fawcett were married some few years ago, and that there had been issue of the marriage. The adultery is alleged to have been committed at Cropthall, the re sidence of the husband, at Thropton, in Northumber land, and at Seaton Carew, a watering place, while Mr. Walter Trevelyan • wee staying on a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Ffiwcett in the year 1846. Jane Rochester, the lady's maid of Mrs.Fawcett,.deposed that she first saw Mr. Walter Trevelyan at Netherwitton, in• Northumberland, and that she was in the habit of seeing him afterwards whilst he was on a visit to her master and mistress at Seaton Carew. She was in the habit of letting Mr. Trevelyan out of her mister's house at night, and she spoke of the fact of the door of the draw ing roem being bolt( d inside on occasions when he and Mrs. Fawcett were alone in the room. She spoke too of the fact of seeing him afterwards at Thropton, in Northum berland. She deposed that Mrs. Fawcett was in the habit of going into Mr. Trevelyan's bed-room at that place, and to the fact of hearing him kiss her on one oc casion upon the stairs. On another occasion Mrs. Faw cett remained in Mr. Trevelyan's bed-room for a period of twenty minutes. A Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, who kept the lodging-house at Seaton Carew at which Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett stayed, deposed to the endearing nature of the intimacy which subsisted at that time between Mr. Tre velyan and Mrs. Fawcett, and to her being frequently alone with him in his bed-room, leading to the irresist ible inference of the commission of adultery. Mte Dixon deposed that Mr. Trevelyan lived entirely in the house with Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett, that he was there from morning till night, that he took all his meals there, and that Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett were almost con stantly alone together; that they used to be alone to gether on occasions after the children had gone to bed; that he (witness) had watched them go out to walk, and that be had seen the m conduct themselves as if they were married, or rather as " a couple of children." He watched them en another occasion, when they certainly appeared to him to set towards each other as husband and wife. lie spoke also of Laving seen that kind of conduct between Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett which left the impression strongly on his mind of criminal in tercourse. Jane Rochester went into the service of Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett, as lady's maid, in September, 1846, when they were at Longwitton, in Northumberland, shortly before they went to Seaton•Carew. She deposed that on one night, when Mrs. Fawcett and Mr. Tre velyan were alone in the drawing-room at Seaton-Carew, she - heard the door of the room bolted inside. She dis • needy heard the footsteps of a man in the room, and from the tread she had no doubt they were those of Mr. Trevelyan. She had taken away the tea things from the di avving-room a few minutes before. Mrs. Fawcett and Mr. Trevelyan continued alone in the room together for a long time, end it was not until between ten and eleven o'clock, when Mr. Trevelyan was pre paring to leave for the night, that she heard the door of the drawing-roem unbolted. The door of the room remained bolted for a considerable time. There was a sofa in the room. When the parties returned to Crop thail, whither Mr. Trevelyan accompanied them, Jane Itcchester spoke to having heard a kiss pass between Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett; and on one oc casion, about ten o'clecle at night, and when Mr. Fawcett was sittieg down stairs in his dining-room. as was his wont for a. short time atter family prayers, witness was going up the back stairs, i;hen s s t he i saw and ia heard Mr. Trevelyan coming up the are. turned to go into his bed-room, and w it ness heard him say to Mrs. Fawcett, who was g o i ng into , bedroom at that moment; that he had got a fire in h his r room, end asked her to come and see how nicely it burned. Mrs. Fawcett went into Mr. Trevelyan's bed room, the door closed, and she came out again about twent y minutes afterwards.ht;and Twiehaetnanisrs.heFtlae,te'netttencaarond eleven e outof o'clock ht; bedroom, witness observed that her hair was very much " rumpled." A wit ness, n a med Burton, a housemaid in the family, deposed to Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett occupying separate rooms and never sleeping together. Mr. Trevelyan, she stated, came twice on a visit to Cropthall, and stayed for a fortnight or more at a time. Witness used to think from what she saw that Mrs. Fawcett and Mr. Trevelyan were greatly too familiar; th e yconducted themselv es t owards each other in a very un becoming manner. Witness once saw Mr. Trevelyan put his arm round Mrs. Fawcett and kiss her. Things went en in this way till they became matter cf rumour inf hvitilslabgaemoi l b C im re s . i p i t t l:z .a til ilo and at last reached the ears o prevailed upon his wife to accompany him to the continent. When they were staying at Franleoit, communications were made to him touching the pregnancy of his wife, he himself not having had intercourse with her from a time which would account ter that pregnancy. On being taxed with her pregnancy, Mrs. Fawcett admitte d the truth • of it, but solemnly assured her husband that she had not been unfaithful to him. Mr. Fawcett, however, could not resist a different conclusion, and he immediately had his wife conveyed t° her friends at Wallington, from whence, after some little time, she went to reside in Edinburgh, where, on the 6th of July, 1848, she was delivered ut a child. witness deposed to Mr. Trevelyan visiting Mrs. Fawcett an hour and a half after confinement, and to being seen in her bed-roern with her on the third day after. Dr. Primeimotte; and Dr. R PIULLIMORE, on behalf of the husbeed, severally addressed the Court, and con tended that the facts given above led to the irresistible corteltaion that a criminal intercourse had taken place between the parties. Dr. ROBELTEON said Le appeared on the part of the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1849.
