The Duke of WELLINGTON seems half ashamed of his associates in the Cabinet, and has rather pointedly taken an opportunity of informing the world that he is not answerable for the acts of the Administration. Whether the PEEL Minis try will be honoured the more for being com posed of STANLEY and GRAHAM, KNATCHBULL and BITCKINCHAM, and for not .numbering in its ranks the Duke of WELLINGTON, WC must leave the public and time to decide. The circumstance On which our remarks are finided, is a letter of die Duke's to the Deputation from Paisley—gen tlemen Aillom his Grace seems to have treated with almost as much contempt as he treats his colleagues. The following-, is from the Glasgow Saturday 1-o; t. Alniost immediately on the arriv.-I of the Deputation in Loudon. the Rev. Dr. Burns, and the 11ev. Mr. Baird, addressed' note to the Duke of Wellington stating the object o f t h e i r mission, the urgent nature of the sufer ing:: of ti'e people there, which had induced them to leave their charge for the purpose of soliciting the means of keeping them in life. The note at the same time most respectfully solicited an interview with his Grace, for the purpose of laying the condition of the people of Paisley before him. To this request the Deputation re ceived the following laconic reply :-- " Walmer Castle, October 26, 1841. "F. M. The Duk e o f Wellington presents his compli ments to 1)r. Robert Burns. He is much concerned that, being out of town, it is impossible for him to find time to receive the Deputation. " The Rev. Dr Burns, " No. 21, A.lonchester-buildirigs, Westminster." Two days after receipt of the above mite, through the medium of the public Papers, as well as from the stir about Ap3ley House, the Deputation were made aware of the Duke of Wellington having returned to London, when they lost no time in forwarding the fotowing note to his Grace : "The Members of the Deputation from Paisley and the neighbouring places in Renfrewshire, most respectfully solicit an interview with his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, now that he has returned to London, for the purpose of submitting their subscription sheet to his con sideration, and for the purpose of affording his Grace some important information regarding the condition of that unfortunate portion of her Majesty's subjects, whom the Deputation are sorry thus to represent. " 21, Manchester-buildings, Oct. 29, 1841." To the above note the Duke of Wellington forwarded the following curious reply, which, take it all in all, we are sere will be read with astonishment over the whole country:— " London ; October 30, 1841. " F. - MI. The Duke of Wellington presentS his com pliments to the Members of the Deputation from Paisley. " It is true that the Duke returned to town the night before last, in order to attend at Buckingham House when her Majesty will be confined. " The Duke's time has been and will be much occu pied while he will be in London, and he must again de cline to receive the visit of the Deputation from Paisley. " He pays every attention it is in his power to give to the distresses at Paisley, as well as elsewhere. "•A meeting to discuss them is not necessary, in order to draw his attention to these distresses; and his other occupations render it necessary that he should decline to receive the Deputation. " He begs the Deputation to observe that he is not in the Queen's political service—that he does not fill any political office, and exercises no power or authority. " The Members of the Deputation from Paisley." His Grace, therefore, is equally anxious to dis claim all responsibility, and to avoid being, troubled about the people's distress. The Depu tation very needlessly again addressed his Grace, stating that the " Deputation, and the whole country, consider your Grace one of the most influential of her MAJESTY'S advisers, and one of the principal heads of the Government. We feel justified in entertaining this opinion, from the public declaration lately made by your Grace from your place in the House of Peers, tthat 'you would take on yourself the responsi bility of advising her MAJESTY to prorogue Parliament.' " But the Duke silently refused to take on himself the power the Deputation wished to thrust on him, and took no notice of the communication. He would do nothing for the sufferers of Paisley, and the solicita tion of the Deputation remained unanswered. Honoured and rewarded as he has been, and is, by the public, his conduct on this occasion, less cautious, if more honest, than that of Sir ROBERT PEEL, has not added to the reverence which the people feel for him. No body ever gave him much credit for huManity, but we have not before heard him accused of MARLBOROUGH'S vice. The Glasgow Post, of Saturday, however, commenting on this transaction, says— Much has been said and written about the Duke of Wellington, but there is one remarkable trait in the Duke's character which has never been noticed pub licly, out of deference, we presume, to his fame ; which trait is, the strong desire of the Duke to get posses sion of as much money as passible, and his equally strong desire not to part with what he has once got pos session of. Much as the country has heard of the Duke re ceiving, in the way of public grants, high pay, liberal pensions, and equally liberal sinecures, to use one of his own favourite phrases nobody,' nobody has ever heard of the Duke making himself famous by heading public subscriptions. Lik e the Glasgow Post, we have no recollection that the Duke is ostentatious with his bounty ; and if the Deputation wished to extract a large donation from him we are not sorry they were disappointed. We prefer his correspondence, which is rich in instruction, to his gifts. Indeed we thought the Paisley Deputation and the Paisley sufferers might as well have spurned the few crumbs which some great bread-taxers returned to them after taking away their loaf. The need of the people, however, was great, and they were humbly thankful for the sort of highwayman alms, which some landlords threw them. Of all the sad and wasteful effects of the Corn-laws, none are worse than their mental effects on a high-minded people. To accept a small portion of our rights as alms is a terrible degradation. The Duke of WELLING TON, about whom there is no cajolery, makes the matter quite plain, which ought to con vince the people that from the bread-taxers they can expect nothing but what they cats extort. We all know that the Duke Of WELLINGTON leads the House of Peers, and that his authority in that assembly is almost paramount. He, therefore, is one of the main instruments in causing the present terrible condition of the people, and his answer to the Deputation sum marily is, I can do nothing—l will do nothing —to redress the wrongs of which you complain, but which I have a right to inflict. I will not be troubled with you. His colleagues think like the Duke, but they want his courage to give a body to their thoughts. Lord DENMAN has not a very ready access to the press, and will scarcely demean himself to defend his conduct on closing the term, in the public journals. To the bar it is no degradation to convey their sentiments to the public through the medium of the newspapers. His conduct, therefore, may perhaps not be represented in the most favourable light; and whatever deficiency of dignity and want of temper he displayed will be thrust prominently forward to weaken the rebuke he conveyedto the bar. Undoubtedly the public was to be considered as well as the barris ters; and Lord DENMAN was not justified in in flicting the smallest injury on a single suitor. The bar will take advantage of this weak point in Lord DENMAN's•case, and will cover their re treat behind a great smoke, made in behalf of the public. All would have been well, could the suitors have fallen back on the barristers, in whose hands their causes were placed, to recover what they might lose by the barristers not being in Court to take care of their clients' inte rests. It is unfortunate, too, that Lord DENMAN gave liiinself and his brother Judges a holiday, while lie exposed the barristers to public cen sure, and inflicted an injury on the neglected suitors. General WINFIELD SCOTT, Commander-in- Chief of the United States' army, is among the candidates for the Presidency [of the Republic. In this'capacity he has addressed a letter to the people of the United States, explanatory of his opinions on the important questions of party politics, the judiciary, the executive veto, rotation in office, Presidential term of office, agency of the President in legis lation, and secret societies. The Gallant General sets out by stating that, when a mere youth, he felt the liveliest joy in the ex piration of the Alien and Sedition laws, and the triumph of Mr. JEFFERSON. That from 1806 he was old enough to oppose, by speech and pen, the British Order in Council, the attack on the Chesapeake, the impressment by British ships of American seamen, the insults of the French Directory, and NAPOLEON'S Berlin and Milan decree s; that he supported the MADISON and MurvaoE Administrations in everything but the disma. s ti ng of a gun-boatpart . of the navy and the systemolci-fashot io ' n d, leave republican-democratic politic lie is an defence ; that, moreover, Whig, as all hi s fam e il e been. So much General's politics. deepest reverence f or th e j fo u r dic t i h a e ry G he en l e l As respects the Bench—State and Federal —and altogether con demns any appeal to Congress or elsewhere against the decision of the Supreme Court, Ivhich ought, in all cases to be final; op position to the e fi decisions of that Court he re gards as revolutionary. With regard to the PRESIDENT'S veto General SCOTT thinks it be set aside by the vote of a simple majority o f Congress, ten days being allowed for re fl ection after its exercise. Connected with the veto power is that of patronage, and here we shall quote the Gallant Candidate ' s own words. We regret that it is impossible to question their truth, coming as they do from so respectable a quarter : The President is, under the checks of the Constitution and law, rightfully invested with the power of the sword, and he has again and again had that of the purse also. The House of Congress,it is true, lay taxes for imports, and regu late the sales of the public domain ; but it is he ( throu g h his agent s ) w h o handles the proceeds. From 1833 to 1836 (to say nothing of the present) he alone nominated and dismis s ed a ll th e agen t s w h o k ep t, as well as those who collected, distributed, and disbursed the public reve nue. The apothegm—make us your executor, we care not who are your legislators—has a frightful application to such small agents, and the immense treasure that an nually passes thrOugh their hands! The rapid increase and spread of population ; the growth of national wealth; the amount of revenue col lected and disbursed; the new relations (by the extension of commerce) with foreign countries ; the additional ap pointments at home and abroad ; the number and va lue of contracts—all constantly and necessarily on the increase ; a general decay in morals, perhaps as great in Congress as elsewhere ; the habit that we have seen prevail during, the several Presidential terms — of filling public offices with but little or no regard to moral standing—have, taken together, already opened to goverindent elements of . power and corruption which it was impossible for the framers and adopters of the Con stitution to foresee or to conceive. Who, at that distant day, for example, ever dreamed of the spectacles which have • recently disgusted every honest citizen : of post ma3ters, mail-contractors, mail-agents, and census takers covering the land with government .pamphlets, hand-bills, and extra-olizettes, sufficient (if read) to sap the morals, public and private, of an entire generation ? Of the Custom-house mercenaries in the large cities, on the public, neglecting every duty for party meetings an - d the polls, and rendering . to power the most bribe worthy services ? Of District Attorneys and Collec tors, rambling missionaries, defending every abuse of office—their own the most indecent—or in order to maintain power in the hands of their patron ? All who have reflected on the foregoing facts must be ready to affirm—that Executive patronage " has increased, is in creasing, and ought to diminished." . I hope, then, by an early amendment of the Con stitution, to see a reduction of the President's veto The regulation of patronage would naturally follow. Removal from subordinate offices General SCOTT would confine to proven dishonesty or in capacity. He considers that to perfor►u the duties of subordinate offices well, long training is required, and that continuance in office is but the proper reward of merit. In the number of officials not removable he includes Ambassadors, Secretaries of Legation, Consuls, and Postmas ters, whose commissions do not exceed one thou sand dollars a-year. He is opposed to the re election of the President, and would support a change in the Constitution to that effect. Re specting the leading measures of the late extra session he says : If I had had the honour of a vote on the occasion, it would have been given in favour of the Land Distribu tion Bill ; the Bankrupt Bill and the second Bill for a creating of a fiscal corporation—having long been under a conviction that, in peace, as in war, something efficient, in the nature of a Bank of the United States, is not only "necessary and proper," but indispensable to the success ful operations of the Treasury, as well as to many of the wants of our commerce and currency. General SCOTT has not been in a Masonic Lodge but once in the course of thirty years, and belongs to no other secret society whatever; that once was more than sixteen years ago. His principles, he says, are convictions which he could not abandon for the Presidency; but, if elected to carry them out, he will accept that office. Such is the substance of General SCOTT'S ad dress, which is dated " Washington, October '2sth." It is curious that in such a document he should say no more about the widely-agitated question of a National Bank than what we have given in the short paragraph immediately pre ceding. For our own part we should gladly see General SCOTT President of the United States. His conduct during the rebellion in Ca nada was upright and impartial, and no effort of his was wanting to maintain the most friendly relations between England and the United States. The Sympathisers met with neither sympathy nor encouragement at his hands. He is also well acquainted with the merits of the Boundary question, and remarkably well dis posed to promote its speedy and pacific ad justment. In private life we have always heard General WINFIELD SCOTT spoken of as an intelligent, amiable, good man whom no traveller encountered without increased respect for the American character. The world knows him to be a chivalrous, high minded soldier, and fame, even in Europe, proclaims him a patriot, a gentleman, and a Christian, in the true and exalted sense of that much-abused word. We have published in The . Sun this day a short account of the entertainment given by a numerous body of electors of Maryle bone to Mr. Kensett, who has long taken an active part in the affairs of that extensive borough, and has been of some service to the .cause of Reform. He was presented at the same time with a splendid ser vice of plate, a return for his valuable labours alike honourable to him and the inhabitants who conferred it. MONEY-ORDER OFFICE.—The public are no w beginning to appreciate the advantages of the money-order office system, from the safety and facility of transmitting property, and settling small transactions or debts without the inconve nience, expense, and delay hitherto experienced. The system is daily ramifying into new channels, and diffusing its benefits throughout the land. The office in St. Martin's-le-Grand commenced with three clerks : it now employs seventy, and the average sum paid is about three thousand pounds daily. HER MAJESTY AND THE INFANT PRINCE.— We have reason to believe that her Majesty has expressed a disinclination to perform any act in consequence of which the new-born heir to the Throne would he addressed by a title similar to that by which his Illustrious llither is designated and addressed. It is also said that bot_i to the Premier and the Lord Chancellor this feeling on the part of her Majesty has been made the sub ject of a formal communication, for the purpose of ascertaining how far, with due regard to es tablished precedent, it can be acted upon in set tling the style of the interesting subject of the in quiry. The Infant Prince" is the appellation which is used throughout the Household, when speaking of the Royal Intlint; and this title is understood to be that for which her Majesty has expressed a decided preference. THE WEATHER.—During the whole of last night the wind has blown a hurricane which we fear will he attended with serious loss to the shipping in the river, as well - as along the coast. It was accompanied by heavy showers of rain, which frequently came down in torrents. Up to three o'clock the wind and rain continue unabated, the river is in full flood, with an uncommonly high tide, and there is every reason to believe that all the low lands for miles along the Surrey shore are laid under water. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1841 THE QUEEN DOWAGER. The bulletin of this morning will in all proba )ility be the lust but one issued, for so decided has been the change in the symptoms of leer Majesty's complaint that Sir David Davies has appended to the official bulletin a notice that the next statement of her Majesty's health will not appear until Thursday next. Her Majesty is now happily able to walk about her chamber, which now faces the lake, in the southern front of the house, the royal invalid having, until Saturday last, occupied a room at the north-west corner of the mansion, fronting the Derby and Uttoxeter road, which divides the house from the park. Not the slightest fatigue resulted from this change, and up to four o'clock yesterday her Majesty continued improving in health. The subjoined is the bulletin exhibited, by order of the physician in ordinary, at the lodge : " Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has made satisfactory progress since the last bulletin, and there is this morning a continued improvement in her Majesty's symptoms. " DAVID DAVIES, M . D . " Sudbury Hall, Nov. 29, 1841. "No bulletin will be issued till Thursday next." COURT CIRCULAR. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Majesty yesterday afternoon at Buck- in gha m Palace - . - His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured Mr. Lucas with a sitting for a full length portrait yesterday at Buckingham Palace. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Jones, arrived in town yes terday morning from his residence at Kew. and visited the Duchess of Gloucester at Gloucester House.

The packet-ship Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, ar rived yesterday at Liverpool. She sailed from New York on the 9th inst., and has thus made the passage in 19 days. For the news brought by her we refer to another part of The Sim. General Winfield Scott, Com mander-in-Chief of the United States army, is . a candi date for the Presidency—we trust a successful one.. •The Great 'Western steam-ship, which left'Bristol on . the 23d ult., arrived at New York on the night of the Bth inst., after a passage of 15 days. The oyal Mail steamer, the Britannia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 21st ult., arrived at Boston on the 7th inst., after a run of 15 days. His Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville was in Buffalo on the 29th tilt. He was to go, on the next day, up thci Prairie du Chien, and afterwards go down the Alississipi and Ohio as far as Louisville. Accounts from Jamaica to the Bth ult. had been received at New York. Several shocks of earth quake had been felt in various parts of the island. In Spanish -town the scarlet fever was raging, and it is stated, in one of the papers, that out of a population of about 7,000, there have been not less than 1,500 cases of that fever within three months. 'life Robert Finnie, which arrived at Liverpool yes terday from Arica and Valparaiso, has brought upwards of $200,000 on freight. A Hanover paper of the 20th November, say s:—" On the 16th the Countess Von Plain Hallermund (a Baroness of Munster) died here in the 85th year of her active life. The deceased, who- was endowed with the rarest gifts of the mind and heart, is deeply regretted by her children, and a very numerous family. Her death is most sincerely and generally deplored, and the memory of a life devoted for almost seventy years to the happi ness of her fellow-creatures and works of charity will long survive." A letter from Cologne, of the 15th of November, has the following .—" We hear that his Majesty' the King of Prussia has given the province a new proof of his fa vour, by, granting, for the year, the sum of 50,000 dol lars for thecompletion of the cathedral, and3o,oooAollars for every succeeding year, besides a sum for removing the small houses-standing before the cathedral." In a letter from' Warsaw of the 19th of November, it is stated " that Bank assignats to the amount of 10,500,000 florins, and first and second series of the Treasury bonds, with the coupons belonging to them, to the amount of - 4,688,625 florins, which have been with drawn from circulation, are to be burnt on the 22d." PUBLIC OPINION. The Times still continues to harp on its favourite theme, Mr. O'Connell's political delinquencies, ob serving :—" One word upon O'Connell's conduct towards Lord De Grey's Governmknt, and we are done. The Right lion. firebrand has, by his announced motion for the dismissal of that nobleman, brought himself into serious difficulties. Had the maker of the motion been merely a private person, such as the Member for Kerry, the projected movement would necessarily have deserved immediate inquiry. But Mr. O'Connell, who gravely and deliberately makes this motion, is the Lord Mayor of the Irish metropolis. Substantially it amounts to an impeachment of Earl De Grey's Administration. Let him be compelled then either to follow up his villanous motion in the usual formal way, or to skulk back from it as a malignant and unsupported slan derer. Let us have his articles of indictment so lemnly set forth, sworn to, and established. His municipal Lordship is, by office, a highly influential . . . _ personage. His declared opinion of Ea — rl be Grey, as far as it carries any weight, is virtually an incitement, er cathedra, to every sort of insubordination, as long as the present Viceroy is unsuperseded. O'Connell, there fore, ought to be compelled to make good his case."— It by no means follows—as the Times would imply—that Mr. O'Connell's opposition to the Irish Government is an incitement to every species of insubordination. He has as much right, on every principle of justice, to express his opinion toldly and unreservedly on Earl De Grey's policy, now that he is Lord Mayor of Dublin, as he had when he was simply Mr. Daniel O'Connell, M.P. His acceptance of the civic chair, which he owes to no Government pa- tronage, does not necessarily compel him to hold his tongue on political matters. He is as unshackled a man as ever he was, and we respect him for stating boldly what he feels warmly. The Post says—" Among the hasty crowd who vehe mently oppose the law which guards British agriculture from foreign competition, it is a common thing to assert that this is a law to make one class pay more than they need pay in order to enrich another class. If it were possible to induce the persons who make this assertion to lay aside inveterate prejudice, there would not be much difficulty in showine , them with what little reason this assertion is made. In the first place such an assertion is unfair as a matter of argument, because it begs the whole question in dispute btween the friends and the enemies of the Corn-law. It assumes that the enemies ;he law are right, and they who uphold the law wrong, :for, undoubtedly, if the effect of the Corn-law be merely to make one class pay with no other or better reason than to g: .e an advantage to another class, then the Corn-law would lie'without a just coundation."--The Post has here•bit the on the head. The Corn law does make one class pay in rdt,r to give an advan tage to another class, and this is to:!4 1 ost among the reasons why the country at large is so fulfixious for its repeal. _ _ . We quote the following from the Herald :—" It is nat. necessary to notice the cutting reflections of the Glasgow Saturday Post on the economy' of the Duke of Wel lington in refusing to subscribe to the fund solicited by the Paisley Deputation. If the subject were one of less grave and mournful interest, or if the opinions of the Journal in question could be identifiedgwith that of the city in which it is published, we would suggest a reason able test of the practical equity and efficiency of the ex periment which the Paisley deputation has come upwards of 400 miles south to try—by recommending the Spital fields' weavers to launch a deputation to go in quest of funds for the alleviation of their distress 400 miles north. To make the analogy of the one deputation to the other complete, it should especially address itself to the Duke of Hamilton, for example. But if his triple Grace of Hamilton, Brandon, and Chatel-Herault should choose, in such a case, to relieve himself from appli cations which were not welcome to him,' (we use the words of the Globe), we protest that we should not feel ourselves warranted, for a single moment, in complain ing of any brusquerie in such an answer from that Noble- man as the Duke of Wellington gave to this Deputation." —Considering' the immense annual revenue that the Duke draws, and has drawn for years, from the country, we think it might reasonably have been expected of his Grace, that he would have contributed to relieve the sufferings of his distressed fellow-countrymen. The question is not one of principle, but of charity. On the subject 9f Sunday railway travelling, the Chronicle makes the following remarks We have copied from the Glasgow Argus a spirited article on the tyrannical attempt of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland to prevent all railway travelling on Sunday. In the case of Edinburgh and Glasgow, the prohibiting railway trains from running on a Sunday would really be passing a non-intercourse act between these cities for twenty-four hours ; for the railway will necessarily put down all other means of communication. We confess, however, we have a reluctance to interfere with the Scotch in' their ecclesiastical matters, for if the people require prompting from this side of the Tweed to resist an ecclesiastical usurpation which would not be submitted to in the most priest-ridden countries of Europe, they are indeed in a hopeless condition. It affords us much gratification to observe, that some of the highest names in the Church of England adopt a very different course from that of the Kirk."—We had hoped that this intolerant spirit of Andrew Agnewism n as sub siding in Scotland as elsewhere ; but bigotry—clerical bigotry especially—has, it seems, stronger powers of vitality than we gave it credit for. If railway trains are to be prevented running on the Sundays, let Lords' and Bishops' cooks and coachmen be prevented working on the Sunday, and then there will be something like fair play in the matter.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) FAMILY JARS.—OSBORNE V. ROE. Mr. PLATT stated the case. It was an action brought by Wm. Osborne, a bricklayer and plasterer of College place, King's-road; Chelsea, against the defendant, a gentleman holding a situation in her Majesty's Customs, to recover the rent of a house in Lockwood-terrace, Chelsea, occupied by the defendant's wife. The ques tion the Jury would have to decide was, whether the defendant was liable for the use and occupation of the house occupied by his wife. It was admitted that the wife could pledge her husband's credit for necessaries, and the Jury would have to say whether the occupation of the house came under that class. It would be shown that the defendant visited his wife at Lockwood-terrace, and slept there occasionally ; and it could not be denied that it was with his knowledge and consent the house was occupied. It appeared that in 1837, the defendant and his wife being on unfortunate terms, she came from Ramsgate to London and took the house in question, and on going down to Ramsgate in 1839 to her husband she was turned out with violence. After referring to other facts of the case as they afterwards appeared in evidence, the Learned Counsel concluded by submitting that the plaintiff was entitled to the sum claimed, namely, 24/. odd. Emma Atkinson—l lived with Mr. and Mrs. Roe at Ramsgate about five years ago. I always understood her to be his wife. At first they seemed very comfortable, and then they quarrelled. On the morning when we left Ramsgate he was very violent. He said, if his wife did not go, he would turn her out, and if that would not do, he would kick her out ; that he was going for a con stable. I left the house with Mrs. Roe, and went to Margate, and next morning we went to King's-road, Chelsea, and afterwards to Lockwood-terrace, to Mr. Osborne's house. She had three of the children with her. I remained with her three months. Mr. Roe came frequently during that time, once or twice a week, and used to sleep there. Last time he came he d—d her, and wished the house would fall about her ears. Mrs. Roe and I went to the Mansion-house to see if her husband would allow her a maintenance. I left her because she could not afford to pay me my wages. 'The quarrel at Ramsgate took place about her going down to make his breakfast. The two servants went with her to London. Sarah Piper—l served Mks. Roe with milk while she lived at Chelsea. Mr. Roe took two more of the chil dren to her, and shortly afterwards he took them away. Three remained with her, and when Mr. Roe was at Lockwood-terrace one of the children slept with me. I saw Mr. Roe at the house. Mr. Roe owes me 401. for money advanced for the children. I saw them walking arm-in-arm one day. Rebecca Hodgson, a laundress, saw Mr. Roe three times at Lockwood-terrace, and made the bed for him. Never saw him in bed with Mrs. Roe. Elizabeth Hodgson, daughter to the last witness, saw Mr. Roe frequently at Lockwood-terrace. Had known him stay there two nights at a time. John Butt, an appraiser, levied on the goods of Wil liam Styles Roe, at 1, Lockwood-terrace, for 151. 15s. A balance of 41. remained due. That was in January, 1840. Charles Lock--I know the defendant, who took a house of me at Chelsea, in 1836. His wife occupied it. Mary Anne Shervet—Was in Mrs. Roe's service in 1839, and accompanied her to Ramsgate. At that time none of the children were with her. The person who opened the door at Mr. Roe's tried to shut it again, but Mrs. Roe pushed it in aed went into the parlour where Mr. Roe was writing. He asked her what she wanted. She said she had brought the children some things. He Said he did not want her nor the things, and to go about her business. She refused to go, and he threatened to send for a policeman, and she said she would give him in charge. After some altercation he kicked Mrs. Roe out of the door and myself also. We went back to Lon don. Mrs. Roe was not very violent or abusive. I saw him kick her. A lady who lived next door to Mr. Roe was present when Mrs. Roe was turned out. Several letters addressed by the defendant from Rams gate in 1837 and 1838 to Mrs. Roe at Lockwood-terrace were' put in and read. They were couched in very affec tionate terms, commencing " My Dearest Love," and ending, " Your Affectionate Husband," and in one of them he referred to having sent up some furniture for her house, and hoped she would have half a bed to bestow upon a weary traveller when he went up to London. Mr. THESIGER addressed the jury for the defendant. It appeared that he had not less than ten children, two of them by a former wife, and it was owing to these in a great measure that the unhappy differences arose. In consequence of her refusing to allow one of his daugh ters to go down stairs and make his breakfast, the de fendant had, in a moment of irritation, threatened, but without the slightest intention of carrying that threat into effect, to turn her out. On his return home he found that she had left his house with the two servants. After tracing her out, he and his brother went to her, and entreated her to return home, but she positively re fused to do so. Finding that she was living in a very extravagant way, and likely to ruin him, he was com pelled to publish handbills in June 1838, and circulate them through Chelsea, cautioning them not to give her any credit ; he would show that the plaintiff had seen one of these handbills. The defendant's income was 440/. per annum, but he had a large family, and a certain station in society to support, and Mrs. Roe had in her own right an income of 90. a year, which the jury would admit was amply sufficient to support her if she chose to live apart from her husband. He trusted that the jury would take these circumstances into consideration, and say that under all the facts of the case, Mr. Roe was not to be called upon to pay all the debts his wife chose to con tract. A deed of settlement of 3001. Consols was then put in and read. Mr. MANGLES proved that since the separation of the defendant and his wife, he had paid the proceeds, 901. per annum to Mrs. Roe. A clerk of the Customs proved that the salary of the defendant was.4oo/. per annum, and he had a house, which was let for 601, per annum. He has ten children. Mr. F. Roe, brother to the defendant, and a banker at Newport, Isle of Wight, deposed that in June, 1817, he accompanied the defendant to Chelsea. They shook hands, and defendant expressed a strong wish that she should return to Ramsgate, but she said nothing would induce her to do so. Defendant made use of the word " woman," and she got into a violent rage, saying she was no woman, but his lawful wife. Witness saw her next day, alone, but she still refused to go to Ramsgate. In 1838 or 1839 defendant received 1,0001., left him by his uncle. Some property devolved to him also on the death of his mother in December last. It consisted of some houses, and money in the funds. The houses were worth about 1,6001., and about 2,500/. in Consols. Defen dant was entitled to one-third only of that property. Miss Geo, governess to the defendant's children, ac companied defendant to Chelsea in September, 1835, and fetched away two of the three children then living with Mrs: Roe. In 1839 the third child was brought home, and shortly afterwards Mrs. Roe came down to Ramsgate. I opened the door and she walked into the parlour. Mr. Roe inquired what she wanted, she said she had brought some clothes belonging to the children, and to demand the quarter's money. for the last child. He told her to go, and she said she would not go. He said he had orders from his solicitor to send for a policeman and turn her out, and she said she had the same orders from her soli citor. She seemed to be very cross. She had no clothes with her. Mr. Roe took her gently and pushed her out of the door. He did not kick her, nor did he use any violent language. It was about half-past nine o'clock at night. The children and servant were in bed at the time. I did not attempt to close the door on Mrs. Roe. I remained in the passage with the servant. I am still in Mr. Roe's family. Mr. PLATT having replied at some length, Lord DniimAN summed up the case to the Jury, and said it was for them to sly whether the defendant had, by his conduct, rendered himself liable for the rent of the house occupied by his wife. The Jury interrupted the Learned Judge by returning a verdict fur the plaintiff for the sum claimed, 24/. lls. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. FAWCET. This was an information filed against the defendant, who is a moister, for an infraction of the Revenue-laws. The defendant appeared in person, and said he had no defence to make. He had been wrong in his construc tion of a clause in the Act of Parliament. He must con sent to a verdict, but he hoped some leniency would be shown him. Verdict for the Crown on one count, with a penalty of 2001.

TRODD V. FARNFIELD. This was an action brought to recover damages for in juries done to the horse of the plaintiff. The parties were near neighbours at Woolwich, and in August last the defendant borrowed the horse in question. While driving him he had the misfortune to throw him down. As usual in such causes the evidence given for the plaintiff differed exceedingly from. that produced by the defendant. For the former several persons deposed that the value of the horse before the accident, was between 211. and 23/ ; that it was very much damaged, having both knees broken, an incision on the hock, and had re ceived several injuries on the head. That it was so deteriorated in value as to be worth no more than from 101. to 12/, and that it had actually been sold to a Mr. Parsons for 41. 10s., and another horse valued at twelve guineas. The defendant had paid 5/ into Court as the full compensation for all the injuries done to the horse, and he produced witnesses who proved that the horse was not worth more than 12/. before the accident ; that they were very slight, and that making full allowance for the few days he would be off work, for the farrier's charge, &c., 3/. would be ample remuneration. It was also given in evidence that after the transaction between plaintiff and Parsons, the latter expressed his dissatis faction with tl.a horse he had got in exchange for his own, and wished to annul the bargain, but the plaintiff refused, saying he would not have his cob back again on any account, because he had a law suit about it, and he meant to get 20/. for it. After an elaborate charge from Baron Gurney, th e Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with dama ges 5 1 beyond the 5/. paid into Court. Mr. Erle and Mr. Peacock were Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Petersdorf appeared for the defendant. ADMIRALTY COURT-(iHISDAY) THE LONDON-.- SALVAGE. This was ,a suit instituted to gain recompense for ser vices rendered to the brig London, on her way from Stockton-on-Tees to London. Dr. ADAMS appeared on behalf of the salvors, and read the affidavits on which the demand was grounded. It a ppeared that on the night of the 14th of October, the brig, when in Gravesend Reach, came into collision with a steamer, by which her bowsprit was carried awa y, and she received considerable damage otherwise ; in consequence of which she was compelled to be run upon the Chapman Sands, to save her from sinking.
