SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Duke of Wellington,' it appears by the pro ceedings of the, House of Lords last slight, grants a committee on the wool trade, but intimates that his opinion is. fully made up on the injustice impolicy of preventing the introduction of foreigtiwoof under the present, or under atly proper tegulation*.' His Grace acts with perfect proptity as a practi6al statesman, though be seems to violate the rules of logic, in suffering a c ommittee:Wdeliberate on that Particular, they can which, in the most impost only decide one wok - . They may find reasons for Strengthening his Grace's conclusion, but ought not to- find any which can have - the effects& invalidating it. The w ool-growers, if the term be not inappro priate,, a pp e ar r to " have sent their wits a wool gathering,' or- they would know that we must haVe foreign wool of a particular kind, either in a mane = factored or an unmanufactured state. If in a manu factured State,: then British looms sink into a state of amiable repose. If freely in an, unmanufactured state, thdn are we able not only to supply home con sumption, but to export woollen cloths.—Times. ' A 'pamphlet has appeared by Mr. Deuglas,' of GlasgoW,upon the necessity of introducing ai poor .law 'system into Ireland. It is no reproach to the people of this country that the languid attention which they formerly exhibited to all proposals having for their object an improvement in the condition of the Irish Poor, has been succeeded by a great and eager interest. upon the same important subject, since the connexion began to be acknowledged every where between -the rapidly accumulating nutrias; and wretchednes4 of the lower orders in Irs- Mud, and the sensible multiplication of pat:pers.-I and consequent increase of poor-rates, amongst our' . selves. Since the effect of a never-ceasing matt s of Irish labourers into England has shown itself in a corresponding decline of comfort as well as prudence in - .the British workman, ' there can i scarcely be named a question' which s tale been more willingly entertained' by Country Genii & men in Parliament, or discussed with more activity by the Press, than the nature of, the remedy to be applied to the coninton disorder. So long as hands were wanting in England and labour plenty, thile existed a regubif bounty upon the production and exportation of iible-bodied men from the other side she Channel. The Irish eMigranta, were then ab sorbed with ease into the mass. of English inhabitants, and the poor-rates were not otterleaded; or, if they were, the 'cause was sought for elsewhere than in the accession of hard-working men :from .the west. 'The productive power of living creatures in Irelatid has (as is the case in other walks of merchandise) o utstripped the demand; and survived it. The.sulp~lis vistop of land, the exorbitancyof rent, s and, the Alverfloieof insolvent Irish labourersfrom their OWn country, have gone, on without, intermissions and the question has at last arisen, whether, the landlord,who crested the animal surplus, and hitherto supplied the cravings of the British market for men, is wholly to escape the consequences of that revulsion in a trade by which he had hitherto been so immense a gainer, or to take frorn'the shoulders of the English gentleman a share of his exclusive burden. This, is not so simple kit' Ties: tion as it seems. If poor-rateS be established le tseland, and her paupers., or klarge portion of then:, retained at home,. the poor-rates of England will be lowered, the condition of the English tabourer will be gradually Improved; but to'tbat end. there must Lea rise in the rate of wages. Itsdoes not there fore seem to be all clear.profit to the British agri calturist, if the Irish shottid he condemned 'to find sabsistenee for his own paupers; With reference; -iowever, to the good of Ireland herself, we are diss posed to try the experiment. 11.*ult it would be at the outset, and productive, not alone of &is:fel-pus p:essure, but. of extreme confusion. In time it is. probable that the process would work itself clear, and that the growth of an improvident and destitute. populatinn would he beneficially retarded : .but as an iturn.,diate cure for any of the thousand evils which biset the state of Ireland, and in a manner distract t h e eye that meditates them, there is great folly in supposing that poor-laws would have_ Lhe slighte4t operation. We are apt to argue is a riffle 'on the nature and treatment of Irish . The usual line of Qb.ervatip n is this.— Tranquillise Ireland, and then capital will AOW into • • itc —and then she will he prosperous,--and then she will be, .what ? "-tranquil" again; .hut' this as sumes that tAvards producin , an ultimate effect, through the intrOduction of capital, it is possibiesto begin by accomplishing - the" 'same purpose-4viz. ' quieting the country) before capital has been intro-, duced. In one view of the :gut a speedy'ame:' Notation Might be 'administered-;-early, in so 'far as the disturbed state of Ireland remits from politi cal causes. In so far, for 'instance, as the- people are lleliberately stirred , up to disaffection on the ground of their country or the majority of its inhabitants being; aggrieved—pacify, we say, the instigators of the people—satisfy those of the upper class who are now violent through 'exasperation, and whose. policy ; it is to incite the people, .and you remove at once whatever is of an artificial or voluntary character , in ; the whole range of Irish disturbance. Emancipate the Catholics, leave thero'not the ?earful office' of forcing that measure for their own' security and by their own power. Let them at length. have rights to: defend, in common with, their fellow-subject 4, not wrongs to ',indicate at our expense.--Ibid. Ministers have main declared that they do not intend to propose any duty on the importation of foreign' wool. In the' Mouse of Commons, last night, Lord Milton, alluding to the alarm which had: been produced throughout the manufacturing tricts, by the bare mention of such a measure, said, he hoped. ' tha his, Majesty ' s Ministers were Pen sible that the time had come when it was necessary fol. ; them, by a distinct declaration on the subject to-allay the apprehensions which had been thus ex tensively excited." Mr. Charles Grant, in answer,' - observed, "that he had no difficulty in saying, that in _ the opinion . of . his Majesty's Government, it wOuld.be exceedingly unwise at the present moment to inipose aoy additional duty on the importatiOn: of foreign wool. Such a measure would be most in jurioua to other highly important interests in the country." In thePease of Lords the Duke of Richmond moved, '` that a Select Committee be 4- pointed to inquire iet<s the present condition of.the wool trade, and report tbt 4 e eoriditlOn to"tho House.. —His Grace entered into a variety of k ate , meats, and urged various arguments in , sup. l poet of - the propoSition, that the destructionH of the woollen manufacture is essential t o 'the, prosperity of - the British Wool-groWer. We say, , in support of than because we are at losi.what other interpretation to put on hie endea- - vour ift show that, notwithstanding the reduction of. the duty, " there had 'been no increase in expor tation of 13ritisb woollens during the last three years." We know not whether. his Grace is aware (for many of their .Lordships, who think only of length of credits, must be aware that there are people who uouble themselves about prices) that a purchaser, when he can obtain an article" of the same quality from one sever, at a lower priae,,than he .can obtain it from another, will prefer the .low,priced article, and that the owtiel: . of the'high priced article, if he cannot furnish his can;modities at the same price as his competitor, must - quit the field. If there has ,been. no increase in the exportation - di British woolle,ns daring the last three yovs, does his Owe imagine that- this is attributable ,to the woollens being too low priced, and that if a sivinghig' tax were laid on the wool i mp orted, so ae t o r ais e ? the price of the wool to the manufacturer, and can:, sequently force him to raise the price of. hisgo ß ds, the - additional price would procure him addition a l customers ? His .Grace must, therefore, either sup pose that to raise the price of goods is a sure way to attract additional customers for . them, : or he must suppose that to raise the price is lily to pro duce the opposite effect—nainely, to diminish the sale,. If be suppose an increase of price will di. minish exportation, then we, in turn, may suppose that his proposition is to diminish the exportation of woollens, and ruin the woollen manufacturer , , in order to enrich the sellers of wool. We are distrust ful of Nate Dukes on such a soft subject as wool ; their wits are bui too apt to be a wool-gathering.— At one time the land - was to go out of cultivation, because a remunerating price could not be obtained . for corn. It would seem that we are threatened with a worse calamity now; for *his Grace seems to be, of opinion, that the sheep will no longer be pre vailed, on to eat grass pr heath, if better prices be not obtained for their fleeces. "If the -farmer," says his Grace, " who grew wool,. could not obtain a remunerating. price for his labour—and at the present moment no Such price could be ob tained—it was obvious that a great portion of the light lands must be thrown altogether oat of culti vation." The labour performed by the Sheen . . in nibbling the sward, is a labour, one shoUld think, that might always be.performed;; and it is difficult to see exactly by what process his Grace arrives at the conclusion, that it would be more profitable to leas:e the South ripwps, to the undisturbed posses sion of the rooks, than to allow the sheep to feed, and increase and multiply on them. Not a word ef rents from . his Grace. But we observe the occu piers of the light lands who have petitioned Parlia ment, do . say Something about rents. " A Petition of the Owners and Occupiers of Land in that Dis trict, lying between the Counties of EaSt Lothian and Berwick, commonly known by the name of LamMeraniit, was presented and read ; setting forth that the petitioners, considering . that more ihan one-half of the extent of Scotland is excht+ sively occupied in the rearing of Cheviot and lalack-hced sheep, and that upon an average more i thcii one-half . of the rents of such lands ought to be Told from the .firoduce of the fleece.; - hat the occupiers of such lands in Scotland did not the L , Tislature in 1524, in support of their sa in England, but waited to ascertain what Ares, -`she reduction of the' ditty oh 'wont would have 'ipou their interests; but now ,seeing that Enc.+ reduetion haS been the means of lowering the price of short wool in such a degree as to render it impossible for the petitioners and others in their situation to meet their present engagements, they are autder the necessity," &c.— The farmers of this district of Lammermuir, which we will venture to say is not surpassed in England, Ireland, or Scotland, for bleakness end barrenness, would find their business exceedingly remunerating if his Grace would only 'contrive tooase their minds about rents: Half the rents they say, ought ,to be paid from the fleece; and, they cannot at the present price of wool meet their present engagementss that is they cannot pay theirpresent rents. We will answer for it, if his Grace will only guarantee the tenants against the claims of the landlords, there is not a moun tain itt.Breadalbane, or Lochaber, or any other wil4 region, on which sheep will not contrive to remune rate the trouble of tending them. So mild' for this sample of hereditary wisdom ! The Duke of Wellington consented toan inquiry, 'but "while he did. so . , : lse.beggedit to be understood that-it was not the intention, of his Majesty's Government to con sent to the imposition of any further tax on foreign wool." His Grace, it would seem, does not coincide in opinion with the Duke of Richmond, that the destruc tion Of the woollen manufacturer would contribute to the prosperity -of the wool grower. In explanation of an apparent diminittiOn of the - export orfine clothi, it was stated. by. the. Earl s of Harewood, that " by, a regulation of the Cestorn s house ss ell sloths froth "3s. up to 10.5 . . are enteredas coarse, and all above 10s. are catered as fine. By.the alteration in the duty upon foreign wool; and,by the changes of the trade, these prices are now very much reduced, and the consequenceis; that a. very large quantity of fine cloths are exported under the denomination of coarSe.." We confess we do wit see the wisdom of entering 'on an inquiry,' when it has been pre-deter. mined that no alteration in, the duty on importation ain't. take plane, whatever May transpire in the course tif . such inquiry.. ; The Manufacturers will be but too apt to distrust Minicters—to believe that some trick is intended. If Ministers had not made up their minds, arid wished to govern themselves by the evidence adduced in the inquiry, then we could understand why it was allowed; but inquiry after decision is like the old Scotch way of hanging first and trying afterwards. We expect to hear next of Juries giving in their verdicts when they enter the boxes, azd amusing themselveS,. afterwards -with. Itedring evidence,- 7 .ffornin4 . Chronicle. • Mr. Liddell, last night, presented a petition from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and one from North Shields, • 'respecting . the issue' of I/. promissory notes by country bankers. It might be supposed, that after the strong declaration made "by some of his Ma jesty's Minist,ers upon 'the' subject, it would be in vain' to press upon their ,consideration a revision of their judgment. The continued existence of country bankers, however, is a matter of too much impor tance, and- the interests of the trading, eemmunity bootildnp in their existence, are too.imperative not to call for another effort in their behalf. Besides, we have already seen his Majesty's' Government give tip' opinions longer entertained, and upon better .ground 4, rather than disturb ' the reli glous peace of the country; it io not, therefore, .without something like confidence, that we ex pect from their patriotism a similar sacrifice to its commercial pew. The progress of our . national prosperity is no longer of that slow, undecided cha racter, which it exhibited for many months after the dreadful check receive in l8.?4, We ; are most happy to be able to give our testimony to, its reno vation, of which, even at its lowest ebb, we nit only never despaired, but never donbted., And we have 'the better right to - recal. that fact, because, though most of our contemporaries aye now of the same way of thinking, it was •not unti they had ,ope,- *viction forged, upon them, that they were com pelled to adopt R. language which we bad held • t i pm the beginning, The wound • inflicted on our Commerce, has been heeled, not by, but in • • • • spite of the irritating plasters spread upon it.— The contemplated ,suppression of the wall notes has acted as is drag aain on. its,progt,ess to, soto - ; and had that measure been earned into effect .in one year . as it was at first intended, :there can be no doubt that no such progress w0,n).1 . have taken place., If we wish that it should condone, tve must remove instead of adding to the checks which have so grievously impeded it hitherto.

SWITZERL ND, APRIL 17.—The seventeen Greek youths (from twelVe to sixteen years of age) who are educated at Beuggen, near Basle, come every year to Berne in order to keep Easter at Richenbask, where divine service is performed according to the Greek Church; they are always lodged in the Orphan-house. This year the Grand Duchess Anne . (the divorced wife of the Grand Duke, Constantine) Sent. for, them to •her country seat at Effenau, 'where, they (with other petsens) were treated with'princely magnificence, and dismissed with valuable presents.

The state of trade in this town is much ~t, o rse just now than it has been for some months past. Since the Uncer tainty which exists respecting the probable issue of the differences with Turkey took place, there has }meta a very decided interr.npan to the rekullar operations of commerce with that country.; A couSiderable 'businesa in mant ic tures has tx..vn carried on by 'tome of the German and S ss States with the dominions of Turkey, and as this business is now prevented, the German and Swiss manufacturers have no demand for the artides'ti-fthwhich they were sap- - plied from this cottiairY;a4id"Whieh Were required hrthern fir that trade. Besides this cause, the disturbed state of POr tugal has entirely interrupted the trade with that country and for some weeks paSt theacounts from the North Ame rican States have been very unfavourable. It is to the combination of these very untoward circumstances that the pr, cant stagnation of our,export trade may be justly attri buted. The present state of . the American market, from all we hear of it, is . however of itself sufficient to account for much of the existing depression here. The merchants engaged in that trade had enjoyed' for twelve or eighieeu months 'past a steady, and probably, a rather prOfitable business; a yrogressive increase of shipments was a natu ral consequence of such a state of things . ; the quantity of goods Sent . his, therefore, been gradually augmenting, and i n iddition to this stimulus, the chance of a new Tariff (considerably increasing 'the import duties upon British goods,) induced a futtli4r extension of the shipments.— From August or September, to December last, the ship- ments to America Were in consequence excessive, and have produced a glut, which is more seriously felt from thepro posed Tariff net having been established, and from the United States Banks, in clinaequence of some financial ar rangements, refusing to afford the usu:il facilities of dis count. These causes . acting together, have occasioned great sacrifices 'in that market upon the sales of both woollen and cotton . manufactures. We have beard that upon the most current description of prints and White cloths, the loss has been as much as 25 Per cent., and in some in. 'stances even considerably more.' From these causes the export demand for goods and prices have in the cOnrse of the last few weeks rather given way, but not so much as might have been'• expected from the small quantity of business done; partly, perhaps, owing . to the advance 'which has taken place in the same period upon raw cotton, 'sad partly beeauSe the prices of our manufactures have I been for tefer . al months past as low es they well, could be. BeSides the depreseing tendency, of the circumstances alluded to, there have been time considerably failures of houses iu the Russian and . Dutch trade, with which the manufac turers here are connected,' as well as some of less couse qmance'among the spinners and manufacturers themselves; and thesalWhlres operating upon a general conviction that much of the recent mercantile business has been profitless, and that the spinning trade has try for a long period been bad, are prOdUcing distrust and want pf confidence, and we fully' calculate that this feeling will prevent any thing like a speculative disposition from spread ing to any dapgrous extent. With respect to the article of 6 - tont/Vilna have baen taken to encourage sfietta4l lation, but at present the demand that article seems to have subsided, and, business in it has resumed its regidar cliaraeisT ; this we hope. it. will preserve, as we are quite of opi - i*n .1)0; au serious speculative operations in it would be mischievous, loth Ix) the trade _at large and those 'who naiaht be encouraged to engage in them. The con sumers have a deep interest in preyenting apecµiatiop in cotton, and we have satisfaction in believing Opt they bate the power, front the stocks they hold, of checking any prPr ca.edings of this description. The demand for yarn for home consumption has fallen off, the manufacturers here, prudegy abstainjog from making any addition to their stocks of yarri.,w4l4 , ..ihe demand for piece goods continues dull. The export demand for yaAi still keeps up, a nd we see no immediate reason to apprehend that it will decline i at the same time, however, the spinners for, export have beep unable to obtain such an advance 9 f,p r i ce as w ill at all compensate thB.9 the advance which has taken place on the price of cot!ton.

TUE EARL OF - FtIEMSpIOUTIL v. LIANSoI, FALSELY CALLING LIEESELF COUNTESS OF PORTSMOUTH. In "this case, after .the Xing's Advocate had been heard; Dr: LUBIIiNGTON replied at considerable length to the arguments of the Counsel for Lady Portsmouth. He obviated their objections ait to the effect of the refusal of the commission by Lord Eldon in IRI4, observing,that all the facts were not • before that Learned Judge; there had been, on that • occasion, no power of cOmpelling-witriesses to give evidence; and no power 'of cross-examining those whO did; that the evidence in chief of several of the witnesses in this *cause was calculated• to mis lead this Court, but for their adiniSSlons in inter rogatories :*. he referred to the evidence' of Dr. Ainslie, Dr. Phillips, ,Mr. Halls, and Swaite, the bailiff;especiallY,Ae latter. He considered that the .affidavi ta cOntahreil in:46'lly concealment of ti=utli; but abundance of falsehood,,and that whet perjury was poured in upon him,' by the contrivances Of the Han sons, Lord Eldon•could not have done otherwise than he did.: - With'respeet to the fact ofLord Portsmouth's attending the Hoitse of'. Peers on and his giving his proxy to Lord ,Liverpocil'ini'seve ral occasions, which had been relied upon as evi denee Of the Earl's soundness of mind, he , (Dr. Lushington) could scarcely advert •to the argument with seriousness. He was satisfied . that if 'Lord Liverpool had beenperfectly sensible that the Earl of Portsmouth was of unsound mind, he would.hoe rejected his proxy. An inference of the•Earrs-sanity had been deduced from his presiding as chairifilm at meetings of benevolent societies. He • (Dr. Lush traftton) should merely oppose to this the fact' of his k• having ordered all the boys of a school belonging to one of those societies to be flogged; Without assign ing:any *reason whatever. It had been' objected, that there was no evidence to support the alleged 'adul tery, besides Capy's and the Earl's.. ' (Dr, tushington). did not care whether the adultery had been committed or not. • Lord Portsmouth had rtated the fact with all its disgusting particulars; that statement was true or false; if false, it afforded conclusive evidence of unsoundness of mind ; and if true, it equally proved the Earl's imbecility in sub mitting patiently to what no sane man could have endured; so that quacunqzte via data, his unsound ness was demonstrable. Sir ions NictiOtt said he should consider, be tween 'this and next court-day (Saturday), whether it would be necessary, in .giving his: sentence, to travel through thiliiminOus evidence, or .whether he - might not content himself with a summary sentence. In the latter case, he should probably give sentence on Saturday. The Proctor for the Countess prayed. that . the' Court would not : - give sentence till the costs were P°d. Sir .TottN Nrcnoti said that the casts of the 'wife should be paid ; even if she was eventually 'COn demned in the costs,' that was . no reason ,why they should not in the first instance be paid by the husband. Dr. LUSHINGTpN stated, that the delay bn the part of the Committee had arisen from the peculiar situa tion'of the affairs of Lord Portsmouth. Applica tion had been made fur the costs, .and he had no doubt they would be paid or guaranteed. , COURT OF' KING'S BENCH, Ma 5. WOODMAN 11, BMITI'I. This was an action for ~a breach of promise of marriage, brought by Mrs Elizabeth' ; Woodman, widow, aged s.sogainst, Mr. John Smith, widower, the King's blacksmithotged 60. . Mr. GURNEY stated the case for the plaintiff. - Mrs. Woodman was formerly a dress-maker, but kept a' tea and coffee-shOp in Denzil-street, Clare:inarket, from' 1821 until 1825. The defendant lived in the neighbourhood, and, besides being the King's black- smith, he was the proprietor of an extensive iron mongery, warehouse. The parties were oh 'terms of intimacy for aboat 30 years.. Srs.-:WoOdman lost hit klistaid in Nevember,l224, and Mr; Smith lost Ins Wife- ih February, 1825, and they were both at liberty to choose new partners. Mrs. Woodman at .tended the defendant's wife in her lase illness, arid . coptitv.rettlier goo4offices in the management of the 64.4 m% household after his Wife's death. In the course of the summer of 1825 he made proposals ofmar riage to' the plaintiff, whn `objected to qinitiimediate union, in consequence of the affection she bore her , de ceased husband; but it was proposed the marriage should take place as soon as ghe should complete the 12 months of her widowhood, according to the usage in such .Catles. It, was proposed that Mrs. Wood man should dispose of her - , business in .the tea and coffee establishment, that she might be the better enabled to attend to the domestic comfort of the King's . blacksmith, who appeared to be as inconsol able for the loss of his late partner as-Mrs. Wood man was for the loss of • her good man. ' An oppor tunity soon presented itself, in that memorable year afjoint stock speculation, 1825, for disposing of the house, according to the wishes of Mr: Smith, and it was • assigned to Major'Close, for 1201. premintn. The defendant merwith accident after, and .he was attended by.lllrs. Woodrati, whose solid ' tilde for his recovery was very creditable to the in,. tended bride. It would be proved that the defend ant made repeated declarations of his intention to marry Mrs. Woodman, and they were looked upon by the neighbours as future man and wife. Mr. Smith, however, changed his mind, and refused to keep his proMise , with the plaintiff, whose prospects were thus unexpectedly blasted, for she gave up her business at his solicitation. No letters could be ' supposed to pass between the partie, because they lived so near to one another that a correspondence was rendered unnecessary. The defendant's conduct was, without any palliation, and the Jury Would, he bad no doubt, give the plaintiff ample damages. George Woodman examined.--I am' son to the plaintiff. She is a widow. In 1825 and •1826 Mr. Smith visited my mother: they were on habit's of intimacy for many years. Mrs. Smith died in February, 1825, My mother attended Mrs. Smith during her last illness. , Lord TENTEREIEN.—Is this an action for work and labour? Mr, Ciraziry.—No, my Lord.—(A. laugh.) Witness, in continuation.--Mr. Smith told me, w,bs.p.nkv.-apprentice.ahip expired, he would do some ihing for me, for he intended to marry my mother in a few days. Mr. Smith at other times said some thing to the same effect, that he was going to marry her. • Cross-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLF:TD.--My eldest brother is about thirty years of age.. My mother had. sixteen children altogether. She is about 54.. She dOes pot look more than fifty. The bia4cmiib is aboht sixty, amt be hits no children, My mother 'made arrangements to quit the eoffee shop soon after the intended marriage was talked of. My mother lived in the house with Mr. Smith when he met with an accident. She used to dine with him every Sunday, but she never took me nor any of the children with her. Mr. Smith promised tp marry mi'Mother about 'twenty times. I advised her to make haste, for:I thought the matter Was too long on hand. Louisa Norman --I am a daughter Of MN.

In October last I. called upon Mr. Smith by the directions of Mrs . . Woodman.. ;1 told him Mrs. W. was v ery ill, and she was very much surprised lie did not call to see her. I asked it' he intended to make her his wife, why be did not coil to see her. He said hoc family was too large, and he would not marry her: • Cross-examined- , -Mrs. Woodman tried to carry on the dress-making in Somers-tewn. She was in the business before her husband took the coffee-shop. What was the cause of her illness—disappointed love=aye ?-4Litughter.)—Oh dear no. I sup pose disappointment for her business. was th e plaintiff' 3 ca,e. 'Sir- hilt& `SCARLETT, for the defendant, ad dressed the Jury.• This was - evidently a question of pounds, shillings, and pence. H ere was an e ld woman'who: kept-a coffee . Shop froth 1821 until 1825, when she sold the. house at lt premium of 12014 by which she exonerated herself from th e li a bility of 60/. a ye a r r e nt in her old days, she having lost her husband. Her daughter; who was,.to be sure; a pleasant piece of •furniture in the house, 'got mar ried, 'arid ail. inducements to continue the business *ere at in end. She disposed of her house to ad vantage in her old - ige, in those happy times of Joint Stock speculation; when a Major Close was, to be found 'at ' the corner of evety street, and When she was no longer 'able to serve the customers with tea aridcoffee. Ohl. but yon - are told. she was induced to do so in the hopes of marrying an old blacksmith, who had scarcely buried his wife, the plaintiff's cousin... Scarcely two months after the funeral he proposes marriage ! It reminded' him of Handel— "----That it should come to this! But two months dead ! Nay not so much, not two. , • s atg ae• And yet within a month, : Let me not think on't :—Frailty, thy name is woman! A little month ; or ere those shoes were old' with which she followed her poor husband's body, like Niolse, ail teats." --(Laughter. ) Here was a ay old beau of 70, with money, and' no family; ta l k ing' of running away With a young lady of 60—for there was only a difference of 'ten years between them. Only think of such a runaway match, to the •blacksraitles -at Gretna-green.— (Laughter.) What would their guardian say ? The - King's blacksmith was, to be sure, a post of great distinction, and no doubt this youn g lady's ambition was to be raised to the di gn ity o f wife to the'King's blacksmith !—(Great laughter.) , Would the. Jury believe that the old gentleman did inp: thing more than cracking a joke With the mother of. sixteen children, when they talked of a runaway match in the presence, of one of her grown up, daughters. Yet there was no running away, and, the poor lady was left languishing all the time, from . September 18.5, until. 1827. She was no doubt much injured; - and her judicious son, thinking her ' too long about the matter, urged her to bring the affair-to a close, for all their benefit. Did this much- injured. lady languish for the gay old blacksmith, and, at the 'end of nine months, did she expect a' baby to dandle so ?—(Here the Learned Gentleman dandled his brief, to the great amusement of Conrt.). Had she . not lamUsement sufficient in all her children and, grand-children, enough, at least, to, fill both their' houses ? The united ages of the par ties in this ease' exceeded at least 11.5 years, and what blessings must they not have anticipated ? There Was no distinct proposition of marriage made, and the Jury would look upon all they heard as the jesting of an old man. The Learned Gentleraan called no witnesses for the defence. %. The Jury consulted for about ten minutes, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff Damages, 1504 SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.
