This case came before the Court upon further directions. The bill was filed by the :representatives of Thomas Hat d castle. There had been great litigation in the case, and the questions now argued were—first, whether wilt respect to the balance of 4 3001., which had been found duc i'rom the defen dant Airs. Carr, Ito represented Mrs.' Hardeast; e, her estate ought to be charged with interest at the rate of 51. per cent. The other question was with regard to the costs of the suit. The Ma sTER, of the lioLts said there had been no wilful misc nduct on the part of the defendant. She had only acted upon an erroneous cons , ruction of a will, and could therefore only be charged with interest at the rate of 4 per cent. With respect to the costs, his Lordship could not say that she . ought to be charged with costs, but did not think he could allow her any. CONSISTORY COURT, MARCH 3. ISEAVISIDE v. HEAVISIDE. This was a suit of divorce brought by Captain Heaviside against his wife, on the ground of adultery. Dr. AI'DAMS on behalf of the husband was opening the case, when The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE, for the wife, said that he could not offer any opposition to the prayer of Capt. Heaviside. The COURT thought " the less said the better," and, as it had no doubt of the adultery, it at once pronounced for the prayer of the husband.' MORGAN V. MORGAN. This was a suit of divorce, promoted by the father of Mr. Herbert Morgan, against Elizabeth Morgan, on the ground of adultery. The marriage was a clandestine one, the youth bring at the time of its celebration sixteen or seven teen years of age, and the lady, who was about nineteen, being the daughter of the postmistress of Ealing. As soon as the marriage became known Mr. Herbert Morgan was taken from school, where he was at the time, and sent to India. The wife subsequently, as alleged, committed adultery, and hence the present proceedings to procure a divorce. The Court on motion permitted the father of Mr. Herbert Morgan to commenee the suit as curator for his son, as he was a minor. The marriage took place in April, 1837. Preliminary objec tions were taken to the proxy of consent sent by the son to the father, which the Court required berore it would sign a defi. nitire sentence, and by which the proceedings against the wife were adopted. The Court, after hearing Counsel on either side, reserved its decision as to the title of the father to proceed in the case until it had heard the cause, and pronounced its judgment on the whole question. Dr. HAGGARD was yesterday heard on behalf of Mrs. Mor gan, and The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE in support of the divorce. In the course of his address, he said—Abandonment by the hus band has never been held a bar to a suit for divorce by reason of adultery. Even wilful desertion has not been so consi dered. 'lhe Learned Advocate cited Reeves v. Reeves, and contended that w.l ul desertion, if established, was no bar to the suit; but this was not a case of that nature, the husband, a minor, being entirely under the guidance of his father, having been sent out of the kingdom by his authority, and being of himself unable to provide for his wife. The CouRT ultimately directed the case to stand over until the first day of next term. MANUFACTURE OF SILK.—The Cour Royale, in Pari s , gave judgment in the cause of an .

(Before Lrrd Chief Justice TINDAL and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS. ) LOSS OF THE DRYAD. The Judges tcok their seats on the Bench at ten o'clock_yes terday morning,_ and immediately a ft erwar d s P atr i c k Max well Stewart Wallace was placed at the Bar. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then called Rowland Max well—l was mate of the brig Dryad, cn the voyage from Liverpool to Santa. Cruz. Captain Loose engaged me at Liverpool on September, 18.39, for the voyage from Liverpool to Santa ( ruz, from thence to, St. Jago de Cuba and from theme to Swansea. I was brought up to the sea, and have commanded a ship in the South American trade. I have often crossed the Atlantic, and am acquainted with the navigat on of the West Indian Seas. I was in the ship's hold on the 4th September. There were a few cases of hardware and a few kegs of paint taken in that day ; they came with Zulieta's bills, ant I signed them as ma . e. No goods were received from that time to the time the snip sailed. I am quite confident of it. I locked the ship up my,elf every night, and saw her again in the morning I% hen these goods were taken on board, one-third of her re ma.ned unfilled. There were no crates of earthenware loaded on board after the 4th. There were no cases of any kind ex cept Zulieta's goods taken on board, nor were there any tierce 1 of beef, nor barrels of pork, nor firkins of butter, except what were for the ship's use, and they were on board previously. I saw the hold every day, and Lam sure there were no more goods put on board except what came from Zulieta's. She was ready for sea on the 4th. W e h a d two t i erces of beef and four barrels of pork fur the ship's use. It was scanty even for the outward voyage. It is usual for ships going such a voyage to be I.rovi:ioned out and h ome b ot h. l am sure the Dr} a hal not provisi ms for theln.meward voyage. We went out of dock on the 6th and anchored in the river, and sailed on the 7th. We had ten hands on beard in all. We went round Ire land through the North Channel. We took Curlingford Light from the Irish coast. It is not unusual to go by the North Channel. Captain Loose directed me to get tackles rove and coiled into the long-boat, so that if she were wanted she might be got quicker into the water. We had not a long Inc. when we sailed. I endeavoured to replace it by making one of spun yarn, but it was too heavy. We bad no proper log line during the voyage. I found the larboard pump was choked, the first time I endeavoured to sound. This was a short time after we were at sea. I tried to clear it out, but could not. I told Captain Loose of it. He said nothing particular. That pump was never made to suck. I applied to the Captain to be allowed to make use of the chro• nometer, but was not allowed. It would have assisted me in ascert lining the ship's longitude. We pursued our course to the West India Seas. I had never been at Santa Cruz. 1 here isgenerady a track laid down on charts as a guide. Captain Loose devia.ed from it about longitude 59 west. He then steered to the northward. . We first made land at Virgin Guarda. I saw the land th , 441...1 told the Captain. He came on deck, remained about five minutes, and went below again. Shortly alter 1 saw breakers ahead, denoting a reef and low land beyond. We were about five miles from the breakers. I went down and told the Captain. I found him in bed. It was between six and seven in the morning. Benjamin Shultz was at the helm. I told him I could see breakers ahead and low land Ile got out of bed and went upon deck. I ordered the man at the helm to put the helm clown to let the ship come round, and keep her of the breakers. The Captain ran to the wheel and hove the helm up again. It put the ship direct on for the breakers. Captain Loose was himself at the wheel then, and remained a short time. Hunt( r and Simpson, two of the crew, came into the waist; and complained to the s aptain. They said if he would not put her round, they would take charge of her and put her round themselves—they were not going to be lost. The Captain on that left the wheel. Dhultz again took the wheel and put the helm down again, and the ship came round. 'the ship j us t c l eare d t h e breakers, and nothing more. In a few minutes she would haVe been on shore. When she came round, the Captain said he did not think she was so near. He told me at first to mind my own d--d business, and take the studding sails in. That was when he first came on deck. When she came round, he said he would have me tried for mutiny for taking charge of the ship from him. This was on the 17th of October.. On the 19th we were on the Silver Keys. This was on the north of St. Domingo. The way I have generally gone is by the south of St. Domingo, between Antigua and Guadaloupe. It is the usual way. Supposing a ship going to the nor.h, she ought to have kept near the shore to have avoided the Silver Keys. When there I saw a rock between six and seven in the morning, on :the larboard bow. I mentioned it to the Captain, who was below. He came on deck. I pointed out to him the rock—it was easily to be discerned. He said he could not see it. Ile had his teltsespe in his hand. The water as head was discoloured, which indicates a shoal in those seas One of the crew from the fore-yard called out, " Rocks under the fore-foot." I ran forward, and the Captain likewise. I saw the rock. ( aptain Loose said, "We arc 1-st, we are lost, we are all lost." Immediately after this the ship struck. She remained fast for about twenty minutes. He ordered the jolly boat to be hove overboard, and we got tackles to the long boat to save ourselves. After about twenty mi sutes she dragged off. She had suffered no perceptible in jury; she made no water. After going a short distance, she truck another reef, and dragged past 'hat. The Captain was .n the cabin during the time putting a life preserver on. Fr,,m the second rock we dragged off the rudder was disabled. We then pinned the sails to keep her before the wind. I ap plied to the Captain for the main-boom or the spritFail-yard to make a temporary rudder, which he refused. We had no spare spars on board. He said we were in a nice pred•cament, a ship at sea without a rudder, and that. it would have been better to have gone on shore at Ann Guarda. The carpenter made a temporary rudder of studding sail-booms and plank. It assisted in steering her. On the 20th we made St. Do minos) the harbour of P or t au Pl at ; we proceeded close along the land until the 22d. It would have been better to have had a better officer, as we were sometimes so near as to be almost among the breakers. On the afternoon of the 22d Oct. we were close in with a reef that lies off the harbour of Cape Hayti.. The jury rudder unshipped. The Captain gave orders to keep her out to sea again. He asked me what I thought was best to be done. I told him there was no danger to run into the harbour. The wind was fair for it. He toll me to o t the d n c . o n d rr h m e a y t e s a i n d d t S b i i e u l b t z a , r b h u e r e g arp o fo e r n w te ar r :l t a o nd kn c o a w ll D t a h v e i i s r , not—he had no pilot on board, any_ d he would t loose sea t t h h e at i n n i s g u i r n a , nce was before us, and t he y thou g ht we might get in.

At day break we were he asanidd toad old w m an e te t d o o larboard of the entrance at day break. few south east of the entrance of the Port. We saw a s l h v i e li w a er l e atlet thet hen miles cif. The Captain was on deck aboutsteeringtowards the reef. I could see the 7 b o re ,c a l k o e c r k s . a The Dryad was then steering the course he had ordered when hre left the d ec k p rev iou s . The ship we saw to the northward tired a gun. She was the Bencoolen, Captain Pike. I un derstood the meaning of the firing the gun to be to warn us that we were in danger. The Bencoolen had a signal flying for a pilot. We had none. I proposed to hoist one, and Captain Loose said that if they were toe lazy to come off without a signal let them stop where they were. The Dryad kept on the same course until a pilot came on board. It was almost a calm. I told captain Loose the ship to the north had tired a gun and hoisted a signal. He said that was nothing to him. He was below at that time. It .was about eleven o'clock in the forenoon when the pilot came on board. The captain called him aft, showed him the jury rudder, and asked him if he would take charge of the vessel. H e said he would if the crew would work the ship in. 'I he pilot came from the Bencoolen, and waved a flag all the way. It was about three miles. The meaning of waving a flag was forus to bear down towards her. We did not do so. The cap tain was on deck, and saw the signal, but did not alter his course. The pilot hailed, and asked where we were going with the vessel. We were about half-a-mile from the breakers, blit we went very little through the water, it was so calm. On the 23d of October we went into port. I left the Dryad at Hayti, on the 2d of November. I assigned a reason to Captain Loose. I went on board the Bence°len. I was paid my wages all except 21., by Captain Loose, which 21. ought to be paid in Liverpool. The cour.e the Dryad took to port Hayti was a deviation from what I consider the proper track. The track she took was dangereus in many places, and by keeping the proper track she might have avoided these dangers. There was nothing in the wind or weather to force her so near the shore. There was no occasion or necessity for it. I was not afraid, but I had always my suspicions. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—I did not sleep any last night. I passed the night in a room in a house. I did not inquire if it was the station-house. I rather doubt that it was. I think it was, but I did not inqu're. I had no curiosity about it. It was an unusual thing for me to find myself in a strange room. There were men and women there. The men had coats and trousers.—( A laugh.) Some of them had blue coats with figures on them. Mr. PHlteirs—Were they policemen ? I did not ask them.—( A laugh.) Mr. PHILLIPS—Do you know who the gentleman was who came into that passage yesterday shouting as laud as could be? —I have bee n told. Mr. PHILLIPS—Do you know who it was ?—I am only very sorry that I should have taken an extra glass of wine. I took it in a public-house by myself. I paid for it myself. I got nothing from any friends of the prisoner. I was not taken up on this charge myself. Mr. PIIILLIPS—Were you not taken into custody by the prosecutors ?—No, Sir. Not on the 2d of November ?—I was on bail. • Mr. PHILLIPS —Were you not in custody of an officer before that ?—I was never in confinement. I do not know whether I could have gone away. I never tried. Bail was c ffered for my appearance before it was asked. Mr. PHILLIPS—Did you come in a state of drunkenness to the Mansioa-House to give your testimony ?—I might have been a little merry. Mr. PHILLIPS —Merry before Sir Peter Laurie, cracking jokes with the Magistrates, hey ! Were you nut confined all night for your merriment ? I was taken to the Compter. My belief would be that the Captain is alive. I haze heard several times that he was dead. There are authorities at Cape Hayti. The Dryad remained there under repairs two or three weeks. Mr. PHILLIPS—Did not the Captain when on the Silver Keys call out to clear away the boats ?—He did. The jolly boat was then bottom upwal ds in the long boat. There was no tackling in the long boat ; we had to get it in. I told the Cap tain we could ra ily get a jury rudder made that would take us into port. We were then about 200 miles from Cape Hayti. I gave my opinion to the Captain that Cape Hayti was the best port for us to go to. I asked the Captain what we should take to make a jury rudder of, as there were no spare spars. The Captain said that I should not take the boom, but that if the car penter could make anything of the studding-sail booms he should have them ; and the carpenter made a jury rudder ac cordingly. On the 22d the straps of the jury rudder gave way. We were close to the reef then. We trimmed the sails so as to keep her off and get her head to sea, by the Captain's or ders. We were then about four miles from the harbour. We had not a signal flying for a pilot when we made the harbour its tile morn Met. If lever said so, it was not a fact. Ido not 4sink I ever did say so, I saw Michael Wallace at Liverpool. He was very seldom away from the Dryad. Loose was often in his company. I should not judge the Dryad to be capable of carrying 300 tons dead weight ; she might of measur,ment goods. Re-examined ty the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—No charge was ever brought against me of being concerned in casting away the Dryad. I was taken into confinement beeau.e having taken a glass of wine before Michael Wallace was taken, I, in a jocular way said, I thought I knew where he was. I was tipsy yesterday. When at sea I never taste either wine or spirits. I was never the worse for liquor from the time I left Liverpool until I reached Port Hayti. I have heard that Cap tain Loose sailed from Montego Bay, in Jamaica, to America. When on the Silver Keys, if the Dryad had not got off, there would have been no difficulty in getting off in the boat:, and going to Hayti. We could have got the boats afloat in from ten to fifteen minutes. The studding sail booms were not fit materials for making a jury rudder, the main boom or thesprits sail yards would have been best. 'I hey could have been spared fa. that distance. The Bencoolen was not in a position of danger, and the Dryad might have been where the Bencoolen was at daylight in the morning. We were two miles from the breakers, and going towards them when the Captain refused to allow the signal to be made for a pilot. By the JUDGE—I was asked by the Captain to take brandy . with . him in his cabin, but I did not. . Benjamin Shultz--I was carpenter an board the Dryad in 1839. I arrived about 17 days ago in England from the coast of Africa. I was engaged by Captain Loose for the Dryad. She was poorly found in point of provisions, and in point of spars and gear generally. The Captain told me to keep the long-boat always in good order, so as to be ready for sea at once. I always kept two too's in the boat by the Captain's orders. I was at the wheel when she hove in sight of Anna Guarda. I saw breakers, and called- Maxwell. He ordered me to put the ship about, and then he went to the Captain. I put her head round ; befoie that she was going right towards them. The Captain came on deck, and cursed me, and asked me who gave me orders to put the ship about Ile pushed me away, hove the helm up again, and Lrought her head towards the reef again. I told the Captain I took the orders myself, and that 1 was not going to run the ship upon the reef in broad daylight. The crew then came all aft upon the quarter deck, and inquired of the Captain what he had a mind to do. He went to the cabin ; I went to the helm, and the crew braced the yards that I might put the helm down again. She went away, and. cleared the rock very closely. If she was two minutes longer she would have gone fast on the rocks. Two days after we saw the Silver keys. I told the mate, who called the Captain. The Captain said he could not see the breakers or rock ; they were plain enough to be seen. The man on the foleyard shouted out. The Captain was en deck. About five minutes after the man shouted the vessel struck. 'I he Captain tt as very frightened at the time, and was shouting cut, " What shall we do lads? we are lost." The long-boat was lying in the gripes of the ship, and the jolly-boat in her. Nothing was done to get the boats out. The rudder unshipped when we struck. The captain went _below. 1 made a jury rud !er. The night before we made St. Dom'ngo, the s rap of the jury rudder gave way. 'I his was about tight or nine days after we had made it. When the strap came off the captain's life-preserver was on deck. Ihe crew told him if he put that on they would cut it a'l to pieces. We were then about five miles from Cape Hayti, close to the shore. There was no reason for keeping so close. The night before the gun was fired we kept out to sea. I saw the breakers of the reef. We were about five miles from the breakers when the gun was tired, steering right on them. The ship's course was not altered on the gun being fired. The night before myself and the second mate had been called by the Captain. He asked us what we had a mind to do with the ship, as we had no rudder to her. He thought the best way would be to keep her to the racks. We said we cou'd not do that. We thought the best way would be to keep her off the racks, and stand out to sea for the night, and make Cape Hayti in the morning. We had not signalled for a pilot when we saw the Ben erolen. When the pilot boarded us, he hailed, and asked us where we were g ing with the ship Our course was not altered until the pilot altered it. The breakers were plain to be seen from the time c f the gun firing. The wind was very free for us to keep off the rock. We remained in Cape Hayti Harbour nine or twelve days. Many complaints were made by myself and the crew to the Captair, when we came into har bour. I made an effort to leave the ship there, but the Captain would not allow the. The Dryad left Cape Hayti on the sth November. I know the reef off Cape Cruz. She struck on it on the 10th. About teilliminutes before striking on the reef, we struck on a small lump of rock. We had seen the reef all the day before very plain. The ship's course was not altered at all to avoid it. We struck in the night. We were acting by the orders of the Captain himself when we struck. 'the Captain was on deck all night. It was about half-past two when we struck. The Captain was never on deck another night before but that night. He was on deck when she struck. Simpson was at the helm. The Captain told him to let go the wheel and run away, as he might be wanted. No orders were given. No attempt was made to get her off. 1 sounded the pump nearly half an hour, and she made no water. • She might have been got off easily. One of the pumps was choked ; I told Captain Loose of it at Live' pool, but nothing was done to it. 'I he crew were on deck when she struck doing nothing. The Captain went into the cabin—he gave no orders to the crew. .She might have been got off. The sails were. all hoisted up, and no orders were given to get a sail in. The crew were wilting to work if they had been directed. If an anchor had been heaved out and the sails doused she might have been got off. About ten o'clock that morning some Spaniards came on board in a canoe ; we were then hard and fast. The Captain asked the Spaniards if there was not a town close in ? They said, " Yes ; thirty miles over the mountain." They said there was an English Consul there. The Captain then went ashore in the canee, and stayed ashore until four o'clock. On his return he took our boat and four men, and went ashore again. He told us he had gone to the Spaniard's house. I and Harry Simpson were Mt on board. The ship had not made any water up to that time. There was another boat on board, and we tried her; we sailed round t w h i e th sh a i n p tro C n l o h s n e lt to c t ln h a e a s t t n er i n t s; it r at a n c e i a g r ar t f l o a x c a a t h t i h n e w b i o n t d to n. m w , Ile water was very c:ear in those seas. The cigar box had four or five letters in it. 2'here were some leaves of a log-book in the box. When Loose came back next day he had some conversation with the crew. We finally left the ship next day about five o'clock, in the long boat, and went to Fal mouth, Jamaica, where the protest was mace. We left the jolly boat on board. Simpson kept the papers we found in the igar box. He afterwards produced them to the Captain. Captain Loose snapped them away from Simpson in Jatca ca and gave him 51. to get them—that was at Falmouth. After I came on board on the Ist of September I do not know of any goods coming on board. If goods had taken a day or a day and a half in shipping 1 mus have seen them. I saw none attempted to be :hipped from the water side. None of the crew or Cap tain attempted to go back to the vessel from Falmouth. The Captain went to Montego Bay. From the time the crew left her she was abandoned by the Captain. Before we went bo Faktouth we found n hole cut through her by her stern, big enough for me to put my shoulder through. No reek could have made it. About 12 o'clock the Captain asked me if I had sounded her. I said yes, and that she was tight. The next evening I saw the hole. The weather was calm the whole time we were on the rocks. When I found the hole I sounded her, and found five feet water in the hold. After I found the hole she could not have got off. We left for Falmouth the day after I fou d the hole. I first saw the hole from the inner part of thu ves sel. The Captain's state-room was locked. It was near the state-room. lie Captain saw the hole plainly. He wa; in the cabin where it was. From the time we were on the Silver Keys the crew kept their clothes in bags, ready to save them, as we always kept close in to the shore, among the rocks and reefs.

I never saw the l e tte rs after. The °h ? - poun Captain told me if I signed the protest he would pay me my wages and find me in grub until I had a ship. When I had signed it he refused me my wages, and told me I might go about my busi ness. He gave me a note to Air. Wallace, the owner. By the JUDGE—The notes were Jamaica notes, twelve shil lings to a pound. Captain Fike, of the Bencoolen, recalled—A ship sailing from England to Santa Cruz customarily goes on the south ' ide of St. Domingo. The cour se l a id d own i n t h e c h art as I the tract of the Dryad is decidedly a wrong one. She ought not to have got on the Sneer Bank. It is laid clown in all charts, and is well known lam not aware of any fair par, ose of navigation which could bring her in so close upon the shore of St. Domingo. The reef on which the Dryad was last is plainly laid down in the charts and might easily have been avoided. Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE—The state of the rudder of the Dryad, when off Cape Hayti, would tend to render h( r less manageable. I have gone the north passage by St. Domingo. I never went to Cape Cruz. The main hatchway of the Dryad was closed when I saw her at Cape Hayti. The Silver Keys would be about sixty miles from land. lie-examined—l believe there was nothing in the state of her rudder to prevent her being brought round, when I fired the signal. William Norman Frost —I saw the prisoner Patrick Wallace in the Compter, after he was in custody on this charge. I had some conversation w:th him. I expre;sed my sorrow to find Wm in such a place. He declared him se f to be an innocent man, but said his brother was aI ig scoundrel, and that he was only acting as agent, and that he knew nothing but what the goods were shipped ti at were supposed to be shipped. Cross-examined by Mr. PIIILLIP3—Up to that period I Lad a high opinion cf John Roe—l am a police officer. I took the prison er into custody on t'le 27(11November at the Jerusalem Core - house.

Patrick Wallace, the primer, had an account there in January, 1840. On the 22d of January there was paid int) his account the cheque produced fur 1,012/., from the Multi re. Oa the sth of February tl.e cheque produced from the Alliance for 715/ was also paid into his account. They would make 1,727/. His account was credited with interest, so as to make it up 1 731/. 6'. 81." Oa the sth of February 5/. was paid back, and on the 8.6 of February 250/. was drawn out. The wit.ess then proceeded to derail the state of Patrick WAlace's banking account up to the 26th of March, 1840, whet the balance 1,430/. was drawn out. It appeared that on the Rth February a 200/. Ba cf England note had been t aid by the Bank in t.a.-t payment of the 250/ , and 111;4 the balance, 26th Marc'-, had been paid in one 1,000/. note, two 2001. notes, and a 30/. note. Cross-examined—Patrick Wall:ce hal Leers a deposi.or in the Bank about a year Lefore. Jilin Saunders—l am in the London Joint-stock Bank. In January, 1840, Midi tel Wallace had a deposit account thar.. This witness proved that on the Bth February, the day the account was opened, the 2001. note which had been psid by the London and Westminster Bank to Pa• trick Wallace was deposited in the London Bank by Mi ch el Wallace. Iha Kempstcr, a clerk in the Bank of England, pro duced the tote for 1,000/., the two for 200/., and the 30/. note, which had been paid by the London and Westminster Bank to Patrick Wallace. They had been brought it.ts the Bank on 26th March, 1840, in the name of Wallace, and had been exchanged for saver( igns. Tne examina ion of this witness being concluded, The Court adjourred fur refreshment at twenty minutes to th ee o'clock. On the re-assembling of the Court at three o'clock, the prosecutor called— . Mr. W Iliam Herbert Mullins—l am a stock-broker. I know the prisoner. On the 27th of March, 1840, I pu. chased 1,1001 of Steck for him—he paid for it all in sovereigns. It was trantlerrei to the name of Catherine Wallace. Mr. Cotton recalled—Stated that in February, 1840. Michael Wallace had also ao account with the London and Westminster Bank. The cheque produced I,r 500!. (the Neptune cheque) was paid into the credit of his tccount on the Ist of February, 1840. Ile had at that day standing to his credit before, LOGS!. The wits ea then tzplained the state of .Michael Wallace's banking account, from whi h it- appeared that t e had to his credit in that bank in Feb. 1840, the sum of 3 5431. 18•. 6d., .and a balance of 3,4551. we:s drawn out on the 71h Feb., the day after t►he last of the large sums bad been paid in. Mr. John Bryant Priestman, clerk in the Bank of &nit! , Pa) no, and Smith, proved that 7th Feb. Vlere was paid into the Bank sum of 3,4001. in the name of M. S. S. W.lltec. He had not kept an account there Wore: This cloted the case for the'procceution. Benja sin Shul z recalled by Mr. PHILLIPS—There , was a seamai named Fitzpatrick on board. I have Lot see I him lately. I have not seen him in London. Captain Ftke recalled by Mr. PHILLIPS—MaxweII has b, en in Lot:don three or fuur times since the toss of the Dryad. Mr. C. PHILLIP 3 then adds eased the Court fir tie pri soner, t hi had against him all the power cf some of Vie n ost wealthy Insurance cfficea in London, who hal I ft 113 stone unturned to procuri his conviction. He, however, trust:d to tl e justice of the Jury for the acquittal to whits hi cocteeded he was fa.ly entitled. He was accused of cuunstlling Captain Loose in taring away the Dryad to defraud the Insurance Compani.s ut tie insurances ef- beted on goods th t were never put on boars'. Nuw they must, to convict the prisoner, be convinced that Captain Loose voluntarily and wilfully cast the ship away, and then must see if there was bufficient evidence to con vince them that the goods were never on board, and then they must he satisfied that here was evidence sufficien t to conviace them that the prisoner, Patrick Wallace, had efYcied those iasurances, knowing that there were no goods on beard, and that the Captain was about wilfully to cast away the ship. They were there to-day trying the dea who trued not cross-examine his traducers. If this prece dent were followed, how did they know that, after having passed through life re , pectebly, some calumniator might not, when they were in their graves, trump up a story to stamp their corpse with the brand of fsleny ? Was it prObetee that Loose would endanger his own life by casting the Pt.rleodereiTin.waohdlife.t amongthe pr prisoner h ad t o bbr bring airy'a the 9 crime akea of ther e A l though which wasbneottwhiris'pg:'accused home to him.

Was it probable, if he thouget there was danger, that he would have gone to bed ? He was represented as on one occasion Perfectly reeklese, and on another as so carefi 1 of himself, as to put on a Life. preserver. The crew were manifestly discorreeted, aed had on one occasion threatened ter cut it in Fir ttes if he put it on. And teese were the inconsistencies on wbiell they acre called on to convict the prisoners. Could they believe that Maxwell, who was so drunk ashore, was so sober at se, The geetlman meant to say he was c.trtain of a thing when he doubted it. He could fancy what would have been the glance of the Attorney- Geherel, had that witness crone from arotber country. —( A laugh.) But now the Jury wculd know ti at wher - ever a Scotchman said that he doubted a tiring, he meant he was certain of it. That man came to the Court last Light in a state of ietexieatioto howling in lit horrid dialect—(A laugh)—in such a manner that he was °blips' to he taken off a d put into the stitioe-heuse to get soler ; and when there he saw men is blue cost; an troesere, perhaes a novelty to him—(A lauelr)—with v h e numbers on their collies, and yet, did not know tee • were policeniee. It was evident wlea Loose trek the helm from Shultz that it ;yes only done in anger, for he gives it up a moment after and goes b. lew. Again at Cape Hayti was it Ik, ly he would wreck I is vessel in the face ci the town of Hayti. And after a lap e of five hours it came out that they bad made a progress tc sr a tithe reef of just one mile. The pilot would not take charge of the ship unless the crew woad promise to obey his orders. Wily was thet ? Because the s hip was i n 1 such dangerous state, and he sought that port in accord ance with the recommendation of Maxwell and Shultz. What could the Captain have done that I e had re.t done ? It was attempted to be insinuated by Shultz that the vessel was ill found. Did he know that NI-. Kelly had sworn that he had exami..ed the Dryad, and that she was perfectly see worthy before he would trust his master's prove:ty on board? Did he k now t h at M-. Howden had given e, deme that she was in a perfectly sea -worthy state, and h id e L v i . e: x y mi th i i , r i r i g ug sh in e into such haveto testimony lal beee.e Shultz? It wo u ld he coli tem ptiele to waste time c ati board. Could they o n Shultz's, if the safety of a human cre a t ure h a d not depen d e d ss upon it. It was strange that it should appear from the extract from the leg book in the prot, , st that there was a signal for a pil r. flying when off Port Hayti, and that he should have askel when be was interrupted bythe Attorney-General whether Maxwell bad ever said so before the Magistra:e Was it not ext raor di nary that if h e intended to destroy the shie, he should not h ave b een g lad to have Received the offer of the hostile witness Schultz at Hayti to leave the ship? Would m en Cm thought thei' live s were in dan ger air down quietly w h en t h e s hi p s truck, as represented by Shultz? How was it that Maxwell, who had been in London five or six times, had not uttered one word about all this until now ; and why had be come forward at lest ? His Learned Friend had taken special care not to ask him that. Why did he not ask the Captain o Ite Port of Hayti to pr e v en t th e Dread putting to sea ? I the prosecutors thought 51-axweel a trustworthy per son, why dil they require bail fee his appearance ? I Arid it was on tie testimony rf such a man as that thst eas sought to b ran d w i t h i n famy and guilt a man who, o f t h e prosecutors, had borne a accordie g t • the t es ti mon y high cheaeter up to the present hour, And they thought to corroborate that evident e by the testimony of Mr. Shultz, who, according to his own testimony, had sworn to a falsehood for 41. How much had he got for the oath he had taken that day? Which of Iris oaths were true ? He bad admitted that be bad sworn falsely for money ; and then, thank God, not with English, but wi h f ore i gn au d ac i t y, he asked a Jury of Engli s h men to conv i ct a brother Englishman on his unsupported testimony. He perjured himself , for sooth, because he was starving for food end money. He i get n e i ther, an d yet th i s starring lean lived on. There to the truth uf his s t atement. were attached to the pr o test the oaths of fi ve other men, bstil, the Captain, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the Counsel for the defence alluding to the protest further than related to eeThultz, there was no proof that the others had signed it, end he had put it in to give the defence the advantage of commenting Moen it an far as regarded Shultz. Mr PHILLIPS ea; preeceeieg t) comment upon the t st, eeea he wan iteerrupted Lord Chief Justice TINDAL, who told him ho must coeflue his übserva!ions to Shultz. PHILLIP 3 continued.—'rho Attorney- Genova!, the counsel ler the pr secuticn had put into the box a witecis who he knew had committed perjury. Judas betrayed his master for money, and this fellow had sworn to false hood on the Gospel of that Master. Why had nothing been said of all this at Falmouth, in Jame ce ? They aveited until ,he captain was in his grave before th y brought for ward this story of his guilt.. Would net the Agent of Lloyd's at Falmouth have taken care of them, and sent them home to give evidence, if they had imparted such a secret. flow was it that nothing was said even when t' ey had been set at defiance by the captain. Had the captain been on his trial could they have done otherwise than de clare him innocent. Never before had he known the ab sent tried where he had no means of defence. Take the esideace of Shultz away, there was no evidence that ti , e captain hid cist away the ship. Would it not have henl as well to awdit t'.e arrival of hi:zpatrick, who was expected every day to corroborate the evidence of Shultz, but Fezpatrick had also sign the protest, and perhaps they were afraid it n ight luok like een.ipiracy. Without al uding te the case a; fir a; related to the goods being or not being or, board, he would crime to the question—seas t Jere evidence to prove that Pa rick W , llace was ceanselline and ig to cast away this vessel ? Esea it they supposed that Micheal Wellac which he by no means meant to say, was ceninectei with Loose i i gstlt, wan there any evidence that Patrick Wall .c cennected with them ? He never was shown to be Loose's company. lie maintained was very possible tee: Michael \Val:ace in Liverpool might have persuaeed Patr'ek teat these goods were on board the Dryad, and that in that belief he may have effected these insurances on them. He goes, net to a stranger, but t 3 Mr. Stott, who knows t im, and effects them in his own name. Now, if he had ben cognisant of fraud he would have gone to some stranger, or base effacted the iesurances ie the name of a third persoe. And how did he act when 201. per cent, of the inse ranee was kept back—he thri a eta to go to law with them for it. Wan that like a guilty man ? And what wsa his conduct when Stott insinuated that the Dryad might have been lost? he threatens to kick him out of tl e room. His whose conduct was ineenetive of inno cence. His account to Stott that he wished the commu nication to the Consul at CuLa to be confident al because the goods had been shipped without the knowledge of Zulieta, was a most probable one. No document tendir g to criminate him had been found among his papers. They admitted S:o t was an innocent agent, and what was there to prove that Patrick was not an innocent agent? and the after knowledge of a crime wool nut render him amenable to this indictment. Tie guilt of the brother by no means involved tl e gui't of Patrick. Whet was his exclamation when he aas take i?. They have gut the innocent, and let the guilty one escape ; my brother is the guilty man. And Stott said that he betieved that Pat ick was the dupe of his brotLee Why were not I is sisters and Micrharlei wife put into the witneie box ? The prosecutors said from humanity. That hu manity had been outraged when they were torn from their homes ; and kept in confinement and iii sus }ease tee) knew how long. They had not been brought ire ard, bee aule their cross-examination n ight have cleared the prisoner. The evidence of' Frost, for which he was oeligcd to t'.e prosecutors, also went to show shit be was the dupe of his brother. He knew that every means that money or malignity could make use of had been usel by these Insurance -offices against this young man, and he should call witnesses to character, undeterred by any thi eat of cross-examina ien. He could not close the case without thanking the Court for the exclusion of much which ought never to hove sce tee light, and which could only have been published for the sake cf blackening the young man, who, up to the present time had maintained an excellent character. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. Willi im Carpenter, a draper, living in Great St. Helens, who had known the prisoner six years, arid who gave Um a I igh character. Cross-examined —Knew the ship Jaftr, cammended by Michael Wallace. Did not know if Loose was mate. Heard she was lost. Patrick Lever told him it he had effected any insurance on her. Had heard she was lost. Had heard Pet. ink mention the Lucy. He never told me whether he had effected insurances on her. Had heard of the lost of the Lucy. Never had any conversation with Patrick about it. Nay.ur heard he had any interest in the LUC." Re-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—D;3 you hear of the loss of the Governor Fenner ?--Yc.•. Mr. Putu.lPs—Did you hear if he had any gcodi ii sured on board her? Sir.—(A laugh.) Mr. PHILLIPS —I shall call nu moo witnesiee. Lord Chief Jusice TINDAL then summed up, and told the Jury that they must be satisfied that Loose hal wil fclly cast away the ship; but there was one point which had teen much urged by the counsel for the defence, Iwhiel seemed to him unfounded. It did not appear from any evidence that Loroic was dead; and the ba lance of testimony went, he though', to prove that he was al v.-. But still the law allowed that accessories might be tried, whether the principal were brought to justice or not-. They must also be itatisfied Brat the ship .10, cast away for the purpose of defrauding the insures or the pact owners, and that the prisoner was aiding, counselling, and a iv;:i.tg in fiat wicked act. With re g ird to the casting away of the ship, they would have to con.i. der whit credit they were inclined to give to the testi nuooy ef Shultz, and to see how far alit evidence was corroborated by eircurns . anee . If they were sati,fied on that Lear', they would have to consider whether the prisoner el.fected the insurances for his brother, knowing there were no such goods on board at the time. Ir. was not absolutlly necessary that it should be proved that the prisoner had derived profit from the fraud; but if it we, e shown that he had derived profit from the transac tion, it would be fur them to consicer how far such a cir cumstance might be supposed an inducement to him to act in such a manner. His Lord,hip observed wish te gard to the evidence; of Shul z, that they must look with gre.t jealou-y at the ev;dence of a marl who admitted that he had on a former occasion t.kea a false oath. They could nit look for direst corroboration of his testimony, but they were to consider how far the conduct and con v nations; of the prisoner, and the documentary evi dence, went to prove that unfair practices had been re sorted to by Cap'ain Loose in conjunction with the prisoner. The prisoner contended that the articles mentioned in the p • liey were ec'ually put on board. Now, if they h a d b een actually pr,..ved ; and it did seem almost impossible that goods if such hulk, and which would take sevtral hours to put on board, could have been loaded without some cffieer, or some one its attendauce on the ship, knowing sonie!hiog about it. With ref, , ,rd to the Li lof lading, one could Istrdly suppose that a captain, wi h au honest inlentioe, scow(' put his name to a bill of lading for goods that were never on hoard, as be made himself HAI, t ) an action for their safe delivery. Neither ciuld it Le imagined how any person could effect insurances on goods which were aer on board a teasel with any honest irreatior. They wet e to consider whether the prisoner was aware there were no goods on b , ,srl , cr how far he may have put confidence in the representations of his brother, and hell ved that the goods were actually on hoard; and they would con •r how far such a supposition was reconeileable with his pr-vious conversations on the subj, et. If they ha l any doub . s. as to the thn e points to which bu bad drawn their i , tertion, they would acquit the prisoner. If they had not they would find him gud , y. The Jury retir,cl to consider of their verdict at five minutes to Seven. The Jury returned into Court at twenty-five minutes after eight o'clock, with a ‘erditt of '• Gu lty." The prisoner turnei v.ry pale, and there was a stght agltation c f his features p reeptble when he lierrd the , erdict. Tie Court deferred passi-g sentence, and the prkiner was immediately removed from the bar. On the application of Mr. BODKIN the Court fixed ale trial of Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace f,r ten o'clock to-m-rrow morning. The stock purchased by theWallaees, with the money re ived from ti e Insurance Offices on account c f the loss of the Dryad, was sold out on the day that Pau ick was iii.r..hecided, and rent ti,ed to Sct. tland through the 13iit , sli Linen Company, in whose hands it now re. mains, the Insurance Companies having isucd a distrinyas to pre I'A - A their disposing of it. The evidence relating to noes and cheques was given to enable the insute's to c ai.n this money, in the esJut of thi it succeeding in rib aihi tg a convction of the Wallaces. In the course of t'.e day, the Grand Jury returned a true bill against Michael Sha v Stewart Wallace, as prin cip 1, and agai.ist Patrick Maxwell Stewart Wallace, for the wilful casti,ig away of the ship Delti, with invent to defraul the underwriters. The Delta was lost in 1837. She was at that time commanclei by Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace, and Loose, afterwards commander of the Dryad, eat her mate, FUN, LONDON. ParDNY, MARCH 5, Mil NEW COURT.

Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Adolphus conducted the prose cution, and Mr. Prende-gast the defence of the prisoner.

HERTFORD, MARCH 4 Both Courts proceeded to business this day. Lord aznman sat on the Civil side ; and Mr. Baron Parke pre sided in the Crown Court. The calendar is very heavy for this county. It contains the names of twenty-sight prisoners, twenty-four males and four females ; nut more than three out of the whole number can read and write, and the great majority cannot do either. The Grand Jury having been sworn, Mr. Baron PARKE proceeded to address them. His Lordship observed, that he tegretted to see tuft the calendar contained a much greater number of prisoners than usual, notwithstanding that the Quarter Sessions had only been held very re cently. Most of the cases were -of the ordinary descrip tion, and it would not be necessary for him to make any observations resrecting them to gentlemen of their cape r ienee. There were, however, two or three serious cases that might require some explanation as regarded the law affecting them. Ile regreited to see that there were two chergeriagaiest young females of murdering their illegitimate ciLpring, and one of the parties charged, it appeared, was not more than six.e:n sears of age. This was a charge / whic% now appeare i to be very common—but wheti er the offence was !Tilly itself on the increase, he would not pie end t.) say. There were different opinions on this subj By some it was thought that the natural love of a mother for her ci i:d precluded the probability of her destroying it, and that the cases which occurred we,e to be attributed lucre to aceldent than design. Others considered that t re fe•ling t f shame and the dread cf having to support their i,lr 4itin ate r ff,pring, dew ired them of their ordi nary leel:ngs of aff, e turn, and that this induced the mother to destroy her offspring. Winch of these opinions was the most probete they had nothing to do with—they could only look to the evidence adduced before them and they would recollect that the whole burden of proof lay upon the prosecutor, and the main point for them to con sider was whether the child was born alive, and unless that were satisfactorily proved there was an end of' the charge of murder. In one of the cases it would be found that there were males of violence upon the infant, and they would consider whether this violence was to be a tributed to accident or to a wilful and malicious act of the mother. If upon hearing the evidence they entertained the opinion that tie charge of murder was not made out, but th-t a minor offence had been Cam ed, although the petty jury bad the power of finding a prisoner, charged with murder, guilty of the minor off nee of concealing the birth of the infant, yet he thought it would be better, if they belieied that the charge of murder could not be supported, that they should not place the pr:soner in the territle situation of being tried for murder under suds circumstance., and he suggested that it woull be better on such a care to ignore the bill. There was another case in the calendar of a peculiar cha racter for their county. A man was charged with felo niously damaging a steam engir e, which offence was made felony by a particular Act of Parliament. It ap p, wed that the prisoner had the ca , e and management of a steam-engine, and that instructions were given to him not to raise the power of the steam above seven pounds to the square inch. He had, however, done' so, and it also appeared that the valves of the engine hal been stopped up, and the consequence was that the boi!er burst. There was no proof of any malicious feeling on the part of the prisoner against the prop' ietor of the engine, but that was not requisite to support the charge. The law supposed mal cc if the injury was proved to be of a wilful and malicious character; but this, however, would be a question for them to consider. If they thought from the evidence that the prisoner's conduct was to be attri buted only to negligence and disobedience of orders, and that he merely sought to get up the steam quicker for some purpose of his own, the Grand Jury would not be justiris.d in finding a true bill. Tt ey would, however, con sider all tl e facts, and he had : no doubt they would come to a just conclusiop. George Downs, aged 24, Eliza Watkins. aged 25, and Anne larey, aged 22, were indicted ler feloniously a , - saulting James Greenhill, upon the Queen's highway, and robbing him of some money, a pair of gloves, a banditti.- chief, and other article his property. And the indict ment also charged, in conformity with the statute, that at tl e time of the robbery the prisoners beat and assaulted Cie prosccut9-. _ The Jury found the p•isoners Guilty, and the Court dirert.d that Downs and Watkins should be transported for Eft , en ye,rs, and tl - at Fartl, who appeared to have be e I led jute the commission of the offence by the other two, should be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for fif cen calendar months. On the Civil Side sev,ral undefended cases were dis posed of, sod no matter of public interest occurred. HORTICULTURAL NOTICE FOR MARCH. The condition of the existing crops, art..ir a winter of no ordinary duration, becomes an inquiry of some interest. The whole of the autumn, includ ing September, was cool, and the circnmstance we noted at the time ; ita temperature was equable; and ae found a similar observation had been made in Scotland, with the remark that turnips and other crops failed to enlarge and perfect their growth ; but no frost occurred till the niiddll of December. Subsequer.tly there have been three fortnightly periods of frost, with two intervals, each of a few days' con tinu ince, of mill, opea we ether, with, howevr,!r, very of the usual winter rain. Two or three nights of great severity occurred, the first on the night of January 7, and the second on the 3rd and 4th of February ; but during the former, vegttation was deeply protected by snow, a covering martle which was absent in many pl ices west of London, dur ing the rigours of February, when, in addition to frost, there were three or four days of most pierc ing easterly wind, which could not fail to effect mis chief. We ourselves have last nothing where the plants had remained unwounded ; but in most in stances where borecole or other greens had been " cut over" at top, the plants have perished. A friend assured us that in passing from Surrey through the great distract occupied by the chief market gardens, he obsen el hundreds of brocoii plants that had been r'estro3ed ; this is sad, for it enhances the evil occasioned by the long period of constrained torpor, since it is evi dent that no work of moment could have been effected sulPequent to the middle of December. The land is at length free, and every seed of the most useful spring vegetables ought to be sown. The earliest peas are Bishop% dwarf; Cormack's early Kent, and the White Warwick ; any of these, crop after crop, as ti.e plants of former sowing emerge, and this rule may apply throughout the growing season. Of the cabbage family sow early Brussels sprouts, borecole, sprinkling of savoy ; and, at the ead of the mo , ith, York cabbage. Broad beans, sown in a box so thickly that the seeds may touch, covered with !own, .and placed in a vinery or moist stove, will vegetate rapidly, and may he moved to the ground very soon. We have seen such plants endure eight degrees of frost in April, and (being then protected by a boarded ridge), covered with bloom before the tuidd.e of May. In mild weather towards the end of March, rich beds can be got ready to receive cauliflower plants that have been under lights during the winter. Sow celery and celeriac ; all the " spindle"-rooted vegetables, a little turnip seed, leeks, and onions. The early potatoes fora second crop should be placed in shallow trenches about the third week ; the frame, early manly, and ash-leaved, are the best. Dress, and gently loosen the surface of asparagus beds, and sow aced for new ones. Regulate the rows or beds of artichoke ; and dig up all the remaining tubers of the plant called Jerusalem artichoke, clearing the ground entirely, and replanting it regularly with small tubers, or good cut st In the Fruit Garden, prune and nail all the best stone fruit trees speedily ; fioish the training of espa liers, and graft apple and pear trees. The Flower Garden must be prepared by digging, hoeing, raking, or fresh earthing and manuring, it required, in every department. All foreign seeds, and tender or half-tender seeds, are to be sown in pans, and subj, cted to gentle beat, without loss of time. Many herbaceous flowering plants may be put in the ground, or transferred, or divided ; a change of site and new sail are es sential to all plants. Dahlia roots should be excited in gentle heat to obtain young shoots for potting. In the year 1838, at this time, halt the best ever greens were seen without a leaf, and the greater num ber of China and crimson roses were found killed to the ground. Now, we perceive no other injury than that which was occasioned by the force of the wind ; leaves ro! laurels, &c., have been sea tered in every direc tion, but the trees are safe ; hence, this winter, though very protracted, has not been so severe as that of 1838 ; we hope that ail our readers can adduce the same evidence derived from observation ; but if any partial losses have been sustained, the season will be favourable for the planting of every kind of evergreen or peat shrub ; care only being taken that regular watering be given at every dry interval, and that a coating of cakes of moss be laid over the surface of the I soil to the extent of the roots. ----- EFFCCACY OF MINERAL WATERS.—IVIineraI waters are medicines prepared in a laboratory, the constant accuracy of whose results is so certain, that we ourselves cannot be sure of success in any of our eheinico-medical compositions, excelt in as far as we follow the laws which seem tl regulat, the I , boratory is queition, namely, that of nature.
