Mr. WYNtsts argued at .souse length against the appointment., He expected the Housc bare heard What the functions were whiA dc mantled so large a salary, otheniise it ,could not be known %vhether the salary were not much greater than the duties of the office required. - The . Gentlemen who contended only 48 hours ago that the. Treasurership of Greenwich Hospital, was a military apptiintment, were not' competent to sa tisfy the House that the appointment of the Vice- Treasurer of Ireland was of the same description. she first proof_ of economy given by. Ministers this Session was an. attempt to raise the salary of the Secretary of the Admiralty from 30001.m 7 year to 404 ; the last was, the attempt to establish H Sinecure of 3,5001. a .year for the place of the Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. Mr, I:I,,MAterIN also argued against the neces sity of the appointment it the duty was to be done b.y a deputy. , He. could not diJover an .atom of the great responsibility that had been spoken of. petAm .did not differ from a clerk who sign tChis name to the corner of an Exchequer War rant. Mr. BR,SND had not been able to collect from any arguments he had heard, that this was an office of responsibility. It was merely and purely one of Mintstt'rial influence. He considered the proposed salary to he unnecessary and enormous, and he therefore trusted it would awake that in dignation and disgust in the House, which be was satisfied it would excite itt the country. For the Amendment r Avityst it :Majority in favour of the Original Motion .... 42 hc It St ran getS were ve-lidatit!ed, the Com mittee was'prueeeding with the other claw•es of the Bill. Mr. PoNsotsav objected to the clause which provided that a deputy should be appointed to ex ercise the functions of Vice-Treasurig, during the absence of that officer troni Ireland. He moved that that clause should be left out. Lord pASTLEREAGH &fended the clause. Mr. TIERNEY sid, having given the Vice-trea surer a large salary, it was now proposed to in vite hint to take a seat In that House, and to give Lim a deputy to perform his duty in the mean time. this appeared to hint making the office a young sinecure at once. Mr. S. WoRTLEY thought, as the House had sledded that a salary should be +attached to the . (ace ut Vice Treasurer, tliai would cause it to he filled by some person of high consideration, it was proper such person should be enabled to attend in Parliament, to explain and viqicate his official conduct. Mr PONSONIFY called on the Hon, Gentleman to look to the consequences of his own ergimient. It came to this, that because too great a salary was to be given to the Vice-Treasurer, the per son holding that office (aught to be brought into Patliarneut. This appeared to host to be one of the lutist direct itivitatione Ministers to be ex ttavagantthat he had ever heard. After a few observations from Sir,M. W. RID -ILEY, Mr. LITTLETON, and S;l* J. Niti,vroaT, The CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUIZII remark et], in answer to the objections Made to appoint ing a Deputy to the VieeTrelsurer, that unless a Gentleman could be found to fill that office wholly free from human infirmities---who would never know a clay's illness—never want a day's recrea tion in the country, Or any sort of relaxation, a Deputy was absolutely necessary. Mr. ROHNER said, the Right Honourable Geni tleman had made oat a medicaloase ; but he would submit another to' him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) , on which he wished to have his opiniou. If the Deputy should be taken ill, 'while the principal was gttending duty in Parlia ment, or be affected by any of the-other huMan infirmities--.-to which be hadalluded, would-not the appointment of a Vice Deputy become necessary . / The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER replied, but could not be distinctly heard in the Gallery', Mr. LYTTLETON thought, if a Deputy were ap-: pointed, his scam ought to be paid out of that of the principal. • Mr. %V.

Set jeant 13tsr stated the case. lie had the honour ot attending the Court this day on behalf of Sir Enw.trd Owen, better known.to the Jitry mid to the pubtie by the title tit Commodore Owen, one of the most enterprising, gallant, and judicinns offieers that belonged to that most valuable service the Navy. This excellent officer came before the Court to complain of one of the Most grievous. injuries that could be conceived—he meant the seduction of his affections. There was no class of crimes that exhibited a greater diversity of feature than that to which the present case belonged ; and when he looked to the situation in life of the emu- Plaining party—when be 'considered the terms on which ha 'had lived with his wife—when he reflect ed on her character and conduct previous to her connexion with the defendant-he was sure the jury would perceive, all the circumstances being laid before them, that this wits a case which st o " ; at the top of the catalogue for exemplary da mages. lie had already stated who the plaintiff was.: - Where be had been for a great number of years must be known to every gentleman who took any interesi in the great events which had, for a se ries of years, occurred in Europe ; for his'nettne had been constantly before his cottut rynten. They fittest recollect him comma mlinga squad; on off Boulogne, and, when his services were no longer required there, he was caltzd to an equally hototurable and arduous duty, on the Lakes of Canada. Whilst the glint wa's employed on this last station, the clefoutint , who Acted Its apothecary to - the family, availed himself of the opportunity '%vhich Sir Ed ward Owen's absence afforded, to seduce the af fections of his hitherto virtuous and honourable wile. From what he hail already cated, he thought the Jury were prepared to say, that thin was a Case which came within the Ch:SCript ion he had' given of it, and called for very large damages. It was, however, a most painful dutyto hint to be obliged to detail at letigth all the circutuitences of this transaction. Sir Edward Owen command ed a squadron off Boulogue in the year 1802 : lie was constantly in the habit of coming to. Dover and Deal,- for those particular purposes which fre quently rendered it necessary for a Vl%llllll'oo to ton into port. The lady was the daughter of a re seectablelnembet of the legal profession, who had, in 1802, retired from its fatigues, and was living privately at Deal, the course of Sir Edward Owen's visit to that town, he became acquainted with the lady and her father. She was beautiful, and possessed of every usual (einale accomplishment. Sit, telw. Owen paid his addresses to her, and a marriage was the consequence. It was solemniz ed with the perfect approbation of the father and friends of the lady. Sir Edward was then 31 years of age., and his bride was jest turners of 31—so that no dispaelty of age could be alleged s a cause for unhappiness. They lived together, down to the 'Moment When, the seduction took place, in the Most affectionate !paiter. It was impossible for any two persons to live together more happily. The attentions of the plaintiff to his lady were markecrby the utmost kinthriess, and she returned them effectionatelY. The jury would find, that while Sir &was absent in the service of his country, Lady Owen manifested the most anxious dcs';:c 1.91 species of feelint; Lelaved 'wife might be expected to show, when the object of her afactions was abroad, eletiosed to every de se'ription of peril: fie lead already utentioned„that wino the Boulogne fibtilla was put an end to, Sir D'alward wets sent to serve his Conntry . ou the Lakes Canada : Lady Owen was inconsolable en that occasion ; she felt all that a wife ought to feel fur the loss of such a husband. During the period of :Sir Edward's absence, Lady (wen's state of health was, exceedingly. bad. She was attended, in the first place, by the father of the defendant, who was an apothecary in the neighbourhood of Deal, and afterwards by the defendant himself. The visits of the defendant' were extremely frequent, so much so us to excite a suspicion that he was not attendiag the Lady for the purpose Of re-esta - -; bliShing tier health, or that of any part of her fa tally, but that he was engaged in warping her mind, and seducing her affections from her husband. No doubt could rest on the minds of the Jury and the linderSheriff would State to theta, from the circumstance Of judgment having gone by de fault, that the act of adultery was commit tett.— But, in order to chew the atrocity of the case, he - Would clearly prove that the crime was effected White Sir Edward was absent on the Lakes of Ca- nada. On his return, he was informed by some friends that his Lady ; had conducted herself iei;• properly with the defendant during his absence. Tue Jut y might easily judge what sensation: tabus . band must fetl, when, on his return train a danger ous service, he received such- melancholy intelli gence relative to a wife, whom, up to that time, tie loved eatirely. Sir Ed ward behaved like. a man of firmness on this trying occasion. 'He selected two friends, who were the relatives of hit Lady, and directed , them to enter into an fivitestigatiou of the utmices; being deter mined to have no connexion. or correspondence with - his wile till the truth was fully established. These two(ientlemen proceeded with the inquiry ; but it appeared they had not got hold of the right clue, or the business would-then have been com pletely developed. After they had looked into all tite information which , they had been able to col. lect, they reported, that the rumour of Lady Owen's improper conduct was without fouiulaiuii. 'there teas not a happier man in.the world than Sir Edward, when the innocence of his Lady • wee cdnommicated to him. He returned with redoubled, pleasure to nit wile. He found her in an ill'state of 'health ; and imagining that her indispo sition arose . from the calumnious reports which had occasioned , the inquiry, and might have made a deep impres,ion on her mind, he felt extremely anxious for' her situation, and imme diately took the best means for the restoration of leer health. He proceeded with her to London, :mnd placed her under the care of Dr. Pemberton. The Jbry would learn trees him the manner. in which Sir Edward Owen conducted himself to wards. his wife, while he was attending her for the illness under which she then laboured. While the pi lintiff was thus exerting him'self for the re- 7 covery of his wife, this Deal apothecury had left his hilliness; and was haunting the lodgings of the lady in London. Her health being iestored, Litty Owen lemma! to Deal, and theta, for the first time, S ir Edward was informed by his servant, that a criminal connection had undoubtedly taken place, and was of long standit.g, between his wife and the defendant. The moment the communication was made, Sir Edward determined to investigate the business closely; but the lady, hearing time , urn inquiry Was shout to. take, place, knowing the quarter frbm whence the information came, and being assured it,was impossible 'she could now escape as site had before done, eloped from her husband's house with the defendant. Edward Owen, though as is man of honour lie could nevet ' live with his Lady again, was 'anxious to rescue `her from t hat ruin which the defendan t was pre-. paring for her' lie sent an old servant otter her, rho had long lived in her family, for the purpose of 'discovering where she was, and also for the purpose of directing her steps to a place where alit: might be saved front the Misery which her connection with the defendant was likely to pro duce. This servant 'found her; and he exerted all that Zeal which servants, if 'kindly treated, always show for the interest of those lamilies to they belong, to induce tier to return. Auxions to get her away frion the seducer, he'aaid"to him, " Sir, you had better leave this Lady, tor t Sir Edward Owen will soon he here." begged the Jury to tidy particular attention to the anstVer of the del entiant—" I don't care," said he, " for Sir Edward ; I have: pistols about' Me, arid if he comes, I will shoot ban." So that, after he hatl' seduced 111i$ gallant Officer's wite4-elt , r het had assassinated his eeace—he was ready, it the in jured husband came to rescue this Lady hem bi 3 adulterous embrace, to become the ass'assin of his person. The 'patties, front that 'period to the present, had not separated. This was the case which he had tolay before the Jury. Admiral Sir George Campbell, .Admiral Lord Keith, hear-Atliniral Seoul Admiral, Sir W. Voting, and Admiral Sir. Richard Leo, spoke, its' 'the most decided terms, of the alfectionate attech tnetit'which seemed to subsist between Sir Edward and Lady Owen.
