FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The Tories have a sad knack of anticipating in some instances, however they may delay in others ; and though very back Ward in declaring their own views, they are4mceeuingly forward in construing - the motives and intention,. of her Majesty. The other day they wanted to z irite the Queen's Speech—an arrangement which they hinted would have been in the highest de gree acceptable to the Sovereign, who, it is,alleged, is so well disposed towards a Tory Ministry, that her private wish was to have said, on the opening of Parliament, exactly what Sir Robert Peel thinks she ought to say. This morning we are told that her Majesty's neces sary absence from the House of Lords arises from nothing at all but a determination not "to be dragged through the mire" by her present Ministers. We are at a loss to conjecture where " the mire " is to be found which her Majesty would be compelled to encounter, un less it be the Tory majority in the new Parliament ; but we suppose we must regard the expression as one of those " lively" metaphors which our polite contemporary has the unhappy propensity of bringing up from the depot at Billingsgate. Where our contemporary gets his information of the personal wishes of the Sovereign, we should be glad to learn; for if there are any of the servants of the palace; who make up stories to tell the footmen, who tell the housemaids, who tell the butchers' boys, who tell the omnibus cads, who tell the newspaper boys, who tell the Post's printer's devil, who tells the Editor, the practice ought, for the sake of our gullible and gos siping neighbour, to be put a stop to as speedily as possi ble. But let us seriously ask the Tory organ what would have been the nature of its contents if, in the present situation of her Majesty, she had been advised to meet in person the new Parliament ? No insults would have been too gross, no allusions too indelicate, to have been applied to the act ; and even the vituperative faculties of the Tory Journalists would have needed refreshing at these fountains of coarseness and impurity which flowed daily and nightly through their columns at the period when the unfortunate.affair of the late lamented Lady Fort Hastings gave an excuse for calumny against the. Queen and the Court, under the pretext of sympathy. - STANDARD.—The Globe of last evening contains tho following apparently official announcement : " As, in her Majesty's present condition, any under taking involving anxiety or fatigue might prove inju rious, we understand that Dr. Locock has interposed his veto ; and that the new Parliament will be opened by Commission, instead of by the Queen in person." It would thus appear that her Majesty will not open the first session of the new Parliament in person. We rejoice, however, that we are enabled to. --gray the anxiety which the above intimation is calculated to excite, by stating, which we do on unquestionable authority, that her Majesty is in the best possible health, and that there is no snore pretext for the apprehension that the fatigue of opening Parliament in person will be more injurious to her -now than there has been on any of the previous occasions on which she has proved herself so fully equal;to the exertion. Last year, it will be remem bered, her Majesty prorogued Parliament in precisely the same " condition," without suffering the slightest inconvenience from the effort ; and the anxiety she has manifested on all similar occasions to undertake this duty in person, and the. energy with which she has invariably performed it, fOrbid the belief that she would not delis er the Speech from the Throne herself, on Wednesday tiext, (lid not circumstances wholly uncon nected with the state of her health preclude her from so doing. It is, indeed, most agreeable to her Majesty's loyal subjects to believe that she has been deterred from appearing in Parliament in person, not by the st a t e of her health., "or by her apprehension of fatigue, but` by her unwillingness to perform the unpleasant task her Ministers have imposed upon her. It is wit ithprobable, moreover, that her "Majesty may have been further influenced in her determination by the im pudent and indecent boasts of the Ministerial journals, not only of the certainty of her appearance in the House of Lords on Tuesday, bat of the " marked manner" in which she would declare her approbation of the late budget, and eo_mmend it to the notice of Parliament. However graif the disappointment to which her absence will give rise, the consciousness that she has been spared a portion of the mortification which her Ministers would have imposed upon her will fully compensate for it. We are glad to hear that the Crown has granted a pension of 1001. a year to the widow of Mr. James, the naval historian. The Lords of the Admiralty, particu larly Sir Charles Adam, strongly recommended Mrs. James's memorial to the Treasury. EXAGGERATION OF ANCIENT STATUES.— In specimens of statues left us by the ancients, we see something that always fascinates us, at the same time that we find everything exaggerated in them. The rea son is thus happily explained by Mr. Abernethy:— " The ancients did exaggerate in their statues ; but then there was so much grace in their exaggeration that you did not see it, but you were fascinated ; their foreheads, fur instance. Look at them, and you see them coming forward, they overhang the rest of the face. 'You see they do not shelve away, they are broad and expanded. Animals, the brutes, have scarcely any fbrehead3 ; the monkey's forehead recedes, and the dog's head falls back completely. The ancients, therefore, with rea son, gave a full projecting forehead to their statue.s, to dignify t h em — to mark, as it were, the strik ing differenc e there was between man and other ani mals. Now the eyebrow is quite peculiar to man —no other animal bas it : the ancients laboured that part of the human countenance with extraordinary care; for it is particularly adapted to convey expression. The eyes, too, they managed in the same way. Some of the inferior animals have their eyes so brought forward on the surface of their face, that they can see sideways, they can see around them,. and even behiad tkem ; whiOx is a sign of a suspicious, apprehensive, aithous, disi)sition. The ancients gave to the faces of their statutes eyes that - looked straightly and directly upon you—that look sternly forwarp ; and they did this in order to convey to the beholder, that the originals felt the very reverse of , timidity, of apprehension, anti - suspicion. Then the nose. Man has a peculiar o ne : it h as a b r id ge i n it ; all other an i mals want the nose as it is in man. Those animals, instead of a nose, have a snout—it is a snout, not a nose. Now the ancients, in their heads, attended greatly to the nose ; they placed the bridge of it very high in the face; they placed it above the centre of the orbit of the eyes. Theytreeks brought the nose straight down—the Ro snans gave it a bend upwards ; they arched it, thinking that to be the handsomest form. The nostrils they made as little like a snout as possible. In the statues of the ancients you see the mouth made in a peculiar way; it is, sato speak, as little like a devouring aperture as "los aible•, they knew it was made for articulating, for express ing thoughts by language ; and they made it as exrefes sive as they could. The lips were made muscif inr an d strong. Brutes, we find, have no chins ; s a the face peculiar to men. The ancients , were very par ticular about it, and formed it lap .- part of ge and expressive. Now, if you could put all featn: es on paper, you - would have the countenance of Jr .,p - iter Olympus himself. The ancients, however, did uot . give the same face to all their thstat at ues the ; it is quit', true what Dr. Spurzheim said of them, hiloP y kn:.:w much b e t ter t h an to place the head o f a p,opker npon the shoulders of a gladiator." 4.IIERITED RETORT. —Madame D. had a mag uificant cat. M. de C. amused himself one day by Itilliag it, for want of something else to shoot. Madame D. caused to be set in her own house, and in the houses of her friends, all sorts of mouse-traps ; and when three or four hundred mice were caught, she had them put into a box, which was forwarded to Madame de C. at )Ler country-house. The lady eagerly opened the bax ierself, expecting- to find in it some new modes ; the mice jumped out and presently filled the house ; while at the bottom of the box was found a note directed to Madame de C. :—" Madame, your husband has killed my cat—l send you my mice." —Alphonse Karr. SALMON AND GRILSE. --The river Tweed, from Berwick to Kelso, has for some time past been lite rally teeming with salmon and grilse. On Sunday night, about eight o'clock, hundreds were seen passing up the river at the Ferry, at Sprouston, and other shallow parts, _and on Monday morning great numbers were observed making their way from Maxwheel through the different arches of Kelso-bridge ; and above the bridge, where the river is very shallow at present, they were seen in immense shoals ploughing their way up the water. Altogether it was a novel and interest. ing sight, and shows clearly the unprecedented number of fish which must be at the mouth of the river. The neighbouring markets have been abundantly supplied all this week with fish of excellent quality, and at very mo derate prices. Salmon have been selling at 6d. to Bd., and grilses from sd. to 6d. per lb.—Newcastle Journal.

HOME CIRCUIT—Croydon, August 17. PUNTER V. GRANTLEY. The proceedings in the above cause were resumed this morning. Mr. THESIGER appeared for Lord Grantley, and after giving a detail of all the circumstances of the ejection of Punter, and the right of Lord Grantley to the cottage (the particulars of which are well known to the public), called the following witnesses : George Trekner stated that he had lived in the Grant ley family for fifty-four years. W as game k eeper f rom the year 1796 to 1823. Recollected an auction taking, place at the village public house in. 1795, when the cot tages were put up for sale by order of the parish officers. One of those ec ttages was the subject of the present in quiry. It was knocked down to Mr. Head, Lord Grant ley's steward. Witness had frequently accompanied IN Lordship to the cottage ; it was in a very dilapidated state, and he had it repaired. Had frequently accom panied hiS Lordship to the cottage from that period to the time of his death in 1822 • and during that pe r iod he had ordered it t o b e repaired several times ; it was once or twice thatched ; a new staircase was made, and vines were planted in the garden, all by his Lord ship's directions. Never recollected Mr. Head being overseer of the parish. About thirty years ago there was a walnut-tree in the gard en , w hi c h was partly dead, and he heard his Lordship give Mrs. Punter leave to have it cut down for firewood. Cross-examined—Was still in the service of Lord Grantley. Had frequently talked with him on the sub ject of the present action. At the last trial he stated that he was not in the auction-room when the cottages were sold. He was not present, but was told the cottage was knocked down to Mr. Head. Did.not say anythinr , about the walnut-tree at the last trial. He used to be out very much with . old Lord G ran tl ey . Mr. Sergeant SHEA—He was very good to the poor, I believe ? Witness—Very good indeed. Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Always ready with a shilling for any poor person that wanted one ? Witness—Yes, he gave a great deal away. I have, by his directions, given as much as a pipe of wine a year to the poor, besides large quantities of coals and wood. The old gentleman was a widower. He was very fond of shooting, and generally on his return, as, well as, at other -times, would call and have a gossip at Punter's. He was never above speaking to the poor. When. his Lordship went hit° the house, of course he (witness) had to remain outside. Could not recollect how long he used to stop at the cottage. Sometimes he went there two or three times a week. Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Perhaps a little oftener ? Wit ness (shaking his head)—Oh, .no ; he was a very old man.—(Loud laughter.) On one occasion his Lordship desired him to order a hole in the stairs to be mended. Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Did he not say that the hole must be mended because he had put his foot into it ? Witness—l don't recollect that. Ann Collingham stated that her aunt formerly owned the cottage in, question. In 1792 she (the aunt) was sent to St. Luke's, but returned in about a year, and went back to her cottage, where she remained some time, but again becoming insane, she was removed to the work house, and the parish sold her goods. Did not of her own knowledge know what was done with the cottage. Frederick Wills, late an overseer of the parish, said he did not recollect the sale of the cottage, but produced one of the parish cash-books, in which was an entry to the following effect, in the handwriting of Mr. Head : " Received 101. 10s. for house in lane." The date was 1795. Mr. Sergeant SHEA objected to the book being re ceived in evidence, and it was consequently withdrawn. Abraham Punter, an elder brother of the plaintiff, stated that he recollected his father going to live in the cottage; and he also recollected hearing his mother say— Mr. Sergea n t S HEA o bj ecte d to anything said by his mother. Witness recollected Lord Grantley having the cottage repaired from time to time. His father was in the work house for the last two or three years of his life, and died there, but his mother resided in the cottage during that time. Recollected his brother (plaintiff) going to the cottage after his father's death. His mother continued to reside in the cotta g e , but was event ua lly t urne d out by the plaintiff; and she then went to reside with her daughter, Mrs. Edwards. His mother had been dead about four years. Cross-examined—His brother Thomas was about the cottage at the time, and built an additional room to it for the plaintiff. Witness did not claim the cottage for himself ; it was Lord Grantley's, as far as he knew. Daniel Edwards stated that he married a sister of the plaintiff's twenty-nine years ago ; previous to that he was in the habit of going to the cottage to visit her for seven or eight years. At that time old. Punter and his wife lived there. Witness lived in the cottage with them for two or three years after he was married. Never saw old Lord Grantley in the cottage, but had frequently seen him near it in the lane. Old Punter was at home some times, but the old girl was always master of him.— (Laughter.) Recollected the cottage being repaired a second time by Lord Grantley about twenty-six years ago. About three years before her death Mrs. Punter went to his house late one night and slept there. After that she never went back to the cottage. She complained of having been turned out, and said that John (the plain tiff) had come home very rabid, and turned her out. ' He (witness) believed, however, that he did not turn her out. Cross-examined—The old woman had a pretty good temper of her own. Mr. Thomas Butcher stated that he formerly lived at Norcote, a farm very near the plaintiff's cottage ; recol lects one night about 26 years ago . hearing an alarm from Mrs. Punter's grand-d aug ht er ; in consequence he went, accompanied by some of his servants, to the cottage, and saw the old lady standing in the field ; he was not very close to her, but she appeared to be in her night-dress ; the plaintiff was also there ; he appeared to be in a great passion, and was swearing. Henry Killick, gardener to the late Lord Grantley, planted some vines in the cottage garden about 28 years ago, by direction of his Lordship. William Grants, a carpenter, repaired the stairs at the cottage many years ago, by direction of Lord Grantley ; he also did some work there in 1820. David Catlin, thatched the cottage by his Lordship's directions 28 or 30 years ago. Charles Pampfield, knew of the cottage being thatched at the expense of his Lordship, once about 30 years ago, and a second time a few years subsequently. The chips were gathered from Lord Grantley's osier beds. Susan Edwards said she slept with her grandmother, old Mrs. Punter, whilst she was at the cottage ; left it about seven years ago ; recollected the plaintiff coming home one night very drunk; when she (witness) went in he was kicking up a row, and swore he would make a slaughter ; she got out of the window into the field, and her grandmother followed her, and they then went to her (witness's) father's. James Wynne stated that he resided at Wonersh some time ago; recollected hearing the plaintiff say one night that Mr. Head had applied to him for rent for the cot tage, and unless some one paid it for him, he should be turned out. He further said, that he had applied to the parish, and they had promised to pay it for him, and de sired him not to trouble himself further about it. Wm. Hill said he recollected the cottage being sold by the parish in 1795. At that time a person of the name of Hetherington was living in it, but soon after it was oc cupied by old Punter. A few years since ho recollected that the plaintiff contemplated building an oven ; he was asked how he intended to pay for it, and he said that he should cut down the fir-tree and sell it. A person who was present, told him he had better have a little advice before he did so, or he might get himself into trouble. A month or two afterwards he again saw him, when he said he had had some advice about the tree, and had de termined not to cut it down, as it belonged to Lord Grantley, who had bought it of the parish. Henry Hughes stated that in the year 1834 he went with Mr. Harland into a field where the plaintiff' was at work. Mr. Harland told him that his Lordship had sent him to know whether he would pay a small trifle for the rent of the cottage he was living in. He replied that he would not pay a farthing ; the property was key-hold ; he had got possession, and would not give any acknow ledgment whatever. In the course of the same year the fir -tree was cut down by direction of his Lordship. Witness received instructions to assist from Mr. Har land. After it was cut down it %vs carried to his Lord . ship's wood yard. Mr. Butcher was recalled, and stated that he consi dered the cottage was worth about 301. or 40/. lt,y the Jury—To build it as it was before, with the old materials, would cost about 301. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said it could not be put in precisely the same state ; besides, the materials were removed. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. LORD CEIAMBFRLAIN'S-OFFICE.

They accused each other of negligence, and the dispute led to a strong contest. Several able mathematicians at last discovered the cause. They found that the difference in time was occasioned by the laws of nature, and not the fault of navigators. The reason will be easily seen. Every 15 degrees upon the equator is equal to one hour of time, and the vessel sailing East is always approaching sun rising. When they have sailed fifteen degrees East from the meridian of London, it will be noon one hour sooner than with those of London. When they reach the meridian of Cairo, thirty degrees East of Lon don, they will have noon two hours sooner than those at London, and so on in the same pp portion. Every meridian they arrive at will bring the natural day one hour sooner than at London, so that when they have gone quite round the globe, and return ed to London again, they will have gone 360 degrees, and it will be noon, according to their reckoning, 24 hours or a whole day sooner than to those who stay at London; or, Thursday with them when it is but Wednesday noon in England. On the other hand, if a ship set out from London and sails westward, when they collie to the meridian of the Canary Islands, 15 degrees west of Lon don, their noon will be an hour later than at London. At 30 degrees west, it will be noon two hours later than at London, and when they get round to London again through the 24 meridians, their natural day will be 24 hours later than at London, or Wednesday noon with them whilst it is Thursday noon at London. In this affair it is not necessary a ship should go round the globe upon the equator, it is sufficient if she passes through the several meridians as all navigators must who go round the globe eastward or westward. For example : suppose a traveller embarks at Rochelle' to go to the East Indies, when he shall arrive at the distance of 180 degrees East longitude, half the cir cumference of the earth, it will be midnight there and noon at Rochelle. It follows that, in making the whole circle of the globe, he will gain twenty-four hours upon the day at Rochelle. If it is Wednesday at Rochelle when he returns, it will then be Thursday with him. The next day is Thursday at Rochelle ; thus there are two Thursdays in a week. To find a third in this same week, we must despatch another navigator to sail from East to West. When he has reached 180 degrees of longitude he will find himself opposite to that of Ro chelle, and it will be Tuesday midnight when they will have noon of Wednesday at Rochelle. And, as the thing is very possible, if those who sailed East and those who sailed West should meet at Rochelle, they would find a difference of twenty-four hours between their reckoning. The Wednesday at Rochelle is Thursday for those who went to the East, because they gained a day. Secondly, the Friday of Rochelle is Thursday to those who sailed West, because they have lost a day. The Thursday at Rochelle is the third. Thus, according to time, there arc three Thursdays in one week. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE (LLOYDS.

KEN __TT 110 P INTELLIGENCE. MAlnsroNt.--The weather of the past week has still continued very unfavourable to the bines, most of which are still reluctant to shoot out their burrs into hop. There appears to be much inequality, not only in diffe rent grounds, but even amongst the bines in the same grounds. We have seen a branch of hops, some of which were two inches long, from the ground of Mr. Matthews, of Farleigh, and other grounds may be seen where in several acres it is difficult to find a hop. The mould is rather on the increase. Yesterday was a fine day, con siderably warmer than the previous ones. The nipt it also appeared more genial, and as the moon change f, f as t night at half-past nine o'clock, a run" of better weather is anticipated. BRENCHLEY.—Our hops are looking very. unkindly.

The wet has done some damage to the burr, in the strong grounds, by rotting the strig of the hop asunder. At the annual hop dinner at the Ring's Head, Water ingbury, on Wednesday, the 11th instant, there were between forty and fifty persons present, consisting chiefly of h op - growers and factors, and on naming of the duty by each individual for the sweepstakes of 1841, the average of the statements was between 143,0001. and 144 , 0001 . —Maidston e Gazette. —RAZIL.—In some of the papers allusion is made to an aggression said to have been committed by , the Brazilian authorities upon English subjects, the par ticulars of which are stated on the authority of the Rio papers received by the ordinary packet. The private letters thence, however, give quite a different version of the story. They state that . a man-of-war's boat arrived on May 20 at the town of Campos (an inland town some "i3O miles up the river Varaiba), with a lieutenant, a mid- Pman, and 13 sailors on board. It was the first in dstearcteoorif any British sailors having passed up the river, and their arrival naturally created p a great sensation.

A DISASTROUS JOKE.—A young lady, whose name we forbear from mentioning, was brought before Mr. Duffy, charged with having stolen a ring from a person called " a gentleman," whose name we a l so suppress, lest the lady's name might thus be indirectly revealed. The facts of the case are these :—The accus ing individual, who resides in the neighbourhood of Dlountjoy-square, went to visit •the lady on Wednesday evening, when she, taking a fancy . ' to his gold ring, re moved it from his finger, and jokingly observed that she would not give up the prize. He left the house, and next day meeting her in the street, called a policeman and gave her 'into custody. The lady, who was much agitated and shed tears, stated that she took the ring merely in joke, and without the slightest intention of keeping it. Her feelings had been greatly outraged by the charge, and her imprisonment in the station house all night. The MagiStrates instantly' discharged the; fair and injured prisoner. —Dublin Pilot. SUPPOSED MURDER AT STRANTON, NEAR HARTLEPOOL.—On Tuesday last, the body of a female was found floating in the Hartlepool Dock, supposed to have. been murdered. It appears that her husband, with whom she had quarrelled on the previous evening, is an excavator, residing at Stranton. As soon as a report was spread that the woman had been discovered under the above circtuns:ances, the - man stated that it w o u ld, ncr , doubt, be his wife. This expression excited a suspicion' that she had come to her death by ,unfair. means, and the man was immediately taken into custody. The par tic Wars of the affair hays not yet transpired,—Noraent Times. The following is a summary of Madame Laffarge's Life, now in the course of publication in Paris in three volumes octavo : Marie Cappelle was born in 1816, at the chateau of Villers-hellon, in Picardy, belonging to her mother's 'father, M. Collard, ex-contractor to the Republican ar mies, and the intimate friend of M. do Talleyrand. Her grandmother (the adopted daughter of Madame de Gen , lis, and said to be descended from one Colonel Compton, an Englishman), was brought up with the Orleans fa mily; and, speaking in her memoirs of her grandmother's origin, Madame Laffarge adds that this story was related to her only with mysterious reserve, which would appear to confirm the accredited report of the prisoner of Tulle having Royal blood in her veins. The eldest of M. Collard's three daughters was the mother of Madame -Lafarge, and was married in 1815 to M. Cappelle, a Captain in the Artillery; the second was united to M. C. Baron de Martens, a distinguished Prussian diploma tist, and the youngest to M. Garet, Governor of the Bank of France. The first part of Marie Cappelle's life passed away, half amidst the noisy gaieties of Strasbourg, where she spent the . winter, and where her father was garrisoned, and half amongst the rustic festivities of Vil lers-hellon, whither she repaired every spring. She de picts the visitors at her father's house with great anima tion ; these, for the most part, appertained to the high classes of society. She says of M. de Talleyrand, who often came to her grandfather ' s, that h e " li mpe d w i t h art and wit." Sh e relates the promenades at Villers-hellon of the Orleans family, stories of Mdlle. Mars, to whose house her godfather, Colonel de Brack, used to take her; of the climbing morning parties given by General on the rich mamelons of the Vosges ; of the elect com pany of Strasbourg ; 'the country neighbours ; the Mon tesquiou family ; the Princess of Eckmuhl ; Madame de Cambaceres ; the beautiful Chatelaine of Montgobert ; the Montbreton family ; the de Valence ; the phalanx of Paris dandies swarming to the shooting and gipsying parties at Corey, or at Villers-hellon. In a word, all the masculine and feminine celebrities of the French aristo cracy are analysed and dissected by Mdme. Lafarge, who renders their portraiture with a fidelity most des pairing to the subject. Marie Cappelle's first trouble was the loss of her fa ther, in consequence.. of . the wound inflicted by the gursting of a fowling-piece in his hand. Her mother, who was young, married again ; she thus describes the wedding-day :—" The day of the ceremony was dull ; we were compelled to assist at it without allowing a tear to flow from our hearts to our eye-lids, and to leave off our mourning, although we became orphans in a two-fold sense ;we were ob liged to smile at the consecration of this oblivion ; to smile in abdicating a portion of our mother's heart to the rule of a stranger. M. de Coehorn was a Pro testant ; the religious rites were performed in the drawing-room ; the work-table became an altar ; a geatleman in black read us a cold sermon, and next gave a simple blessing. Shall I confess it ; I was pleased the ceremony was so meagre, that my dear little church of Villers-hellon had not been decked out —that the wax flambeaux of the altar were not lighted, that the censors were left without incense. I was. pleased that the Grand Cross, the Virgin, the Ta bernacle had not been dis-poiled of their trappings to bless the oblivion of my father." In order to tame her ardent disposition she was sent to the Maison Royale de St. Denis ; but by the lapse of some months she had fretted herself to sickness, and she was set at liberty. The pleasures and rejoicings at Paris succeeded the austere life of St. Denis ; she fre quented the balls at the Tuileries and at the Palais Royal. In 1832 she lost her mother, and her grandfather folloWed not long after ; she was thus in the midst of the world without a guide, without a prop, having but a slender fortune, and possessing the superficial affections of her family, judging by the manner in which she was cast into the arms of a man unknown to her. The part of the memoirs in which Madame Laffarge describes the period when she was considered mar riageable is extremely interesting, and here began her connections with Mademoiselle de Nicolai, actually Madame de Leotaud. The history of the theft of the diamonds is related with minuteness as to the hour, tho spot, the accom plishment of the robbery. Her story is the same as she told at her trial. Marie Cappelle leaves Busaguy for Corey, a country seat belonging to Mdme. de Montbreton, who had con ceived a lively affection for the young orphan. In the midst of a round of pleasure, and whilst playing her part in a comedy got up for the amusement of the visitors, she is called away to Paris by her aunt, Mdme. Garat, to face a twelfth or a thirteenth suitor, M. Laffarge, a man recommended by an office-keeper, M. de Foy, whose employment is making up marriages for a certain remu neration,based upon the property of the contracting indi viduals. M. Lafarge was net prepossessing ; he was unknown,—his character, his habits, his tastes, his fa mily,—but he gave himself out as worth 3 7 ,000 f. (1,4001.) per annum ; that Miss Cappelle's dowry, by allow ing him to increase his business, would in a year in crease it to 50,000 f. (2.0001.) per annum. He was pro vided with pompous letters and friendly recommends • tions ; a Parisian artist had drawn up for him a superb painting of a castle, with terraces, waterfalls, and draw bridges, and he had not beheld' his future wife a minute, ere he declared himself deeply in love with her " smit ten with a n e t erna l l ove. " , In his rusticity he was mild and obsequious, and the young girl was allured by the 50,000 francs revenue. The marriage was solemnised, and within three days the youthful female and her dowry were in the power of a man whose rr_orality and character were more than doubtful; v..no was overwhelmed with debts, and who sought a wife to save him from a bankruptcy which was deesared three months subsequently. I The ceremony was scarcely at an end before a post chaise received the couple, and bore off Marie Cappello to unknown regions. Her description of the first tete-a-tete is charming, but we cannot give it here entire; the fol lowing are a few oxtraets : After describing the prospect around her, and the in ( cidents on the road, at some length, she continues, " Amidst all these beauties I looked about me, and cast my eyes on Lafarge; he was asleep. I began to reflect." "A jolt awoke M. Laffarge, who extended his arms and mouth with a sonorous and lengthened gape ; he kissed me on both cheeks and said, ' Now my little dear, we'll breakfast.' M. Laffarge seized a cold fowl, which was in the coach, by the wings, and divided it, offering me t.ie half, which I refused with a degree of disgust that made him suppose me ill. He became uneasy, anxious, kindly attentive, begged me to take at least a glass of Bordeaux, but on my refusal, drank off the entire bottle to himself, saying —for thee and me, who are one. As the odour of the repast was. unsupportable, I got on the box, exchanging places with my maid Clementine ; towards noon I re-entered the carriage, and attempted to con verse on literature, on theatricals, of Villers-hellon and the fine forest, which latter part of the conversation ap peared to interest M. Laffarge ; but my ignorance of the prices of wood and of charcoal reduced hi m t o s il ence , He took from hi s pocket a portfolio, and buried himself in calculations which appeared to occupy his mind dis agreeably." Madame Laffarge, who had dreamt of Romeo and Juliet's affectionate scenes, was destined to be deceived on every. point. At Orleans the deception was more tan gible. It was here that the scene of the bath took place, which was adduced on the trial, and Marie Cappelle re lates it in detail. The husband shakes the door, and when his yet virgin wife begs him to wait as she is un dressed, he brutally replies" it is because you are un dressed that I will come in; do you take me for a nin compoop ? Do you think I am going to be made game of by a young wench of a Parisian?" and when the young girl, offended at this indelicacy, resisted energetically, and he went away, it was in saying " this May do for once, but let me get you to the Glandier, I'll soon bring you to your senses." Her arrival at the Glandier dispelled the magnificent illusions of Madame Laffarge. The fine castle, so beau tiful upon paper, was but an old tumble-down house, open to the winds and to the rain ; the young stranger brought up to the refinements of Parisian life, arrived there at night by frightful roads, through pelting rain, fatigued by the length of the journey, horror-struck at the thought of the future prospects that awaited her, of the menacing night then approaching, and which would surrender her to the brutal caresses of her rustic spouse. Under these impressions she obtained leave to retire to her chamber, where she wrote the famous letter in which, in order to obtain the more easily permission to quit immediately the sad and solitary dwelling whither a culpable deceit had led her, she accuses herself of ima ginary crimes. This letter, which bears the stamp of the delirium of terrified imagination, was the foundation of the accusation. The scene which follows is disgusting. Madame Lac farge has unwittingly produced the famous scene he tween Rebecca and Brian de Bois Guilbert in Ivanhoe. Like the ferocious Templar, the Limousin blacksmith retires before the intrepidity and resolution of Marie Cappelle. The MS. in our hands leaves us here. Thesequel has not pit arrived from Tulle; it comprises the whole pro ceedings at the Glandier, after the second journey to Paris of M. Laffarge. Whatever the judgment pronounced upon Madame Laffarge, we must recognise in her the qualities neces sary to a great writer. If this woman is innocent, what a fate is her's! If guilty, what an infernal organisation? FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE GANGES.— Every thing is strange to him ; groves of pall's-trees meet his eye on every hand ; he sees the foot-prints of the tiger upon the mud deposited by , the last high tide ; jackalls tweet him on his walk, and hardly move out of his track ; and monkeys mimic the cries of dying inno cence in the adjoining copse : he sees the alligator bask ing upon the sand-bank like a log of wood; vultures and adjutants flapping each other with their wings, as they neat by him rafted on a dead Hindoo ; vampire bats skim silently through the evening air in search of prey ; fire-flies glimmer and gyrate among the blos som-laden forest trees ; his ear is assailed and stun ned by the noise, the buzz, and hum, and hiss, and clatter of ten thousand insects.

Cross-examined—To build a new cottage would pro bably cost 60/. or 70/. The cottage, with a quarter of an acre of land, would let for 51. or 6/. This was the evidence on behalf of the defence. Mr. Sergeant SHEA then addressed the Jury for the plaintiff, and thus concluded :—The plaintiff claimed by long possession to be the owner of the property in question. The law allowed him to do so, and half the great estates in the kingdom were only held by the same tenure, and the poor • plaintiff had as much right to the: undisturbed possession of his cot tage and a quarter of an acre of land, as Lord Grantley had to his immense possessions. He called upon the jury by their verdict to protect his poor client, and to show the world, and all those who might be disposed to act in a similar manner, that they would not oppress their poorer brethren with impunity. He would ask them after all the plaintiff had suffered, whether two hundred and fifty pounds was too great an amount of compensation. He did not wish for vindictive damages, he merely asked for sufficient to enable the plaintiff to remove, with his family, to another parish, where he might obtain employment, and forget the injuries ho had received, and pass the remainder of his days in peace and quiet. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL then addressed the jury, and said the present was an action against the defendant for trespass, and assault upon the plaintiff, hut there had been no proof of any assault, and that part of the subject must therefore be dismissed from their minds. They must not be led away by the addresses of the Learned Counsel, but they were bound to give their verdict upon the evidence alone. The Learned Judge then proceeded to remark upon the circumstances of the case, and he said it was for the jury to decide whether Lord Grantley had made out a clear title to the property in question, and if the jury thought he had failed in so doing, the plaintiff had a legal title by posession, and the trespass must be taken as proved ; and the only question would be the amount of damages that should be awarded to the plaintiff for the suffering and the inconvenience le had undergone. The Jury then retired, and, after being absent about half an hour, they returned into Court, with a verdict for the plaintiff.
