THE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE was the original Office which effected insurances upon the principle of combining the security of an adequate permanent Capital (in addition to the fluctuating Funds arising from the Premiums) with the beneficial rule of returning, at stated periods, the surplus of the animal Premiums to the Contri• bows, atter paying losses and expellees. The importance of this improvement is acknowledged by extraordinary approbation, and by the numerous imitations of it, which new Offices have lately offered, and which older ones have adopted, in changing their constitutions. The principle is of chief value, because as it yiod3, by the specific sums insured, and the return of the surplus, the fullest value for the de posits, persons have no reasonable motive for venturing on the lure of reduced and insufficient premiums, which has led to such frequent instances of disappointment and ruin. Bonuses of 131.85. and 261. 12s. per cent. have beets di vided during the last fourteen years. Permission is granted to all persons whose lives are insured at this Office, (nut being Mariners in the exercise of their profession), to pass by sea in whole ileched vessels, or stemn boats, from one part of the United Kingdom to another, and also, in time of peace, from British to the Foreign Ports be tween the Texel and Brest inclusive, without License and extra Premium, as is generally required. Military Men insured at this Office are riot charged with ant additional premium unless called into actual service. No Admission Fees are required, nor is any charge made fur Policies, except the stamp duty. Advantages thus extensive and substantial having been constantly realised during a period of seventeen years, the Public will readily appreciate the difference between the ea fue of Policies limited by this Miceait by others. Agents are appointed in all the principal towns. FMK IN wATIANG-sTitEET. This D:ty 'wits publisto-d, REpoitT of the TRIAL—The KING v.

AFFAIRS OF DRUR,Y-LANE THEATRE. The Annual 'Meeting of the Proprietors of tl:ic Theatre took place on Saturday in the Saloon, in pursuance of public advertisement. The attendance was thin, a circum- stance which may, in some measure, be attributed to the con viction of those who are interested in the property that their alfAirs have been, and continue to be, most prosperously con- ducted. At half-past two, Mr. CAI.CRAFT was Called to the Chair. Mr. DUNm then read the following iteport UEFORT or TUE SUII.COMMITTEE TO TILE GENER‘L COMMITTEE. " The Sub-Committee have again the satisfaction to meet the General Committee with their Report upon the affairs of the Company, which they submit as a brief summary of the ar rangement of their concerns which have taken place since the last General Assembly. " The Report will be ronfirmetl by the production of the ac- county which have beeti regularly audited by Mr. 'Oakley. " They have the satisfaction to state, that.the rent tine from the lessee has been regularly paid, in addition to which, he has made the deposit, provided by the lease, of 2,0001. towards the rent for the ensuing year. " The Sub. Committee deem it necessary also to observt, that by the supplies of new stock, the lessee has not only main tained the value of the wardrobes, scenery, &c. equal to the estimate when delivered into his hands, but considerably in creased it ; and the best proof of the general improvement of the property by the alterations of the Theatre, is found in the patronage of the public, who have rewarded the enterprise of the Lessee by a successful season. " The New ltenters whose annuity of Is. 3d. per night com menced on the Ist of October last, have received the amount fl-om the Sub-Committee through their trustees, Messrs. 'fur ton, Fallowfield, and Snodgrass, to whose account ;the same has been paid, by regulated instalments, into the Banking House of Messrs. Ransom and - Co. " The first instalment of the Bond-holders, directed by the Act of Parliatnent to be made in the present month, amounting to 3081. Os. Bd. was paid in anticipation on the Ist of October last, in order to save to the Proprietary one year's interest thereon. " The Sub• Committee had long contemplated effecting an additional security mainst fire, to the property entrusted to their care, wherever the funds of the Theatre would admit. "'They have accordingly erected, at a very ttonsiderable ex pence, a tank at each extremity of the building, Calculated to contain a sufficient quantity of water to extinguish fire in the remotest part of the Theatre, should such a klamity take place. " The means by which the Sub-Committee have been enabled to meet these expences, they submit, wiei great gratification, to the General Committee. It will be in their recollection, that in the year 1819, (a period at which the theatre laboured under extreme pecuniary difficulties), his most gracious Majesty con descended to head a Subscription by a Loan of One Thous a nd Pounds, in Support of a plan projected by the Sub-Committee, to disencumber the concern. graciously pleased to "This loan his Majesty has been di rect should'be considered as a contribution towards the general funds of the Company: " The Sub . -Committee have also the.satislaction to state,tbat his Royal Highness the Prince Leopold has desired the same application to be made of his subscription of 2001. " The Sub-Committee have now to state, that the claims dis covered to be due to the various creditors in 1819, amounting to 92,0001. have, by the arrangements and a regular appropri ation of the lands, been reduced to 27,172/. 12s. 4d. " In closing this Report, the Sub-Committee have only to request the attention of the General Committee to the annual statement of accounts preparatory to its being laid before the tleneral Assembly, and which statentent is nortreduced to a very brief abstract, viz.:—at the last general assembly in July 1822 the debt of the Theatre was 29,014/. , , 4 The payment of the first instalment to the bondholders, made in October last, amounting . to 3,480/. Ld., leaves the pre sent inctimbrance upon the concern, with the addition of the interest to them fur the last year, at 81,1721. 12'..4d., consisting of the following items : " Bondholders, 20,2281. 45. 4d. ; unclaimed dividends, 1,280!. composition awarded by the late Theatre, 3,9181. ; one year's interest to bond holders„ 1,046/. Os. " And there is an available balance in the hands of the banker towards the reduction of the saute, of 6,1201. ss. 7d., which, when applied, the extent of the claim upon the conceru will be 21,0481. 10d." Mr. CALCItAFT now rose, and said it was not necessary to trouble the Meeting with any observations. The Report was so explicit and so accurate in itself, that it contained all which could be said on the subject. There was a circum stance, however, which it was fit to mention : he alluded to the item of debt awarded to persons having claims against the late Theatre. This was stated more .for form Rake than any thing else; for he had no doubt the Committee would never be called upon to make that stun good. Ile was satisfied that the sum might be applied to the liquidation of the debt stated to be existing, according to the present state of things, which would thus be reduced to little more than 17,000/.--411ear !) According to the engagement under which the present management was conducted it was stipulated that the old proprietors should not reap any benefit from the property till 1830 ; but now he had great satisfaction in remarking that they would, in all probability, he enabled to attain the de sirable end one year sooner, as by thatlime he anticipated the Theatre .would be completely free from incumbrance.—( Hear !) The lion. Gentleman expressed his gratitude in common w i t h the other Proprietors for •i.he liberality which had been exer cised by his Majesty in relinquishing his claim to the thousand pounds which had been advanced to them by way of loan in 181 J; and he thought equal gratitude was due to his Royal Highness Prince Leopold.—(llearl)—Of the lessee, too,.it was impossible not to speak in the highest terms, for not only had he strictly complied with all the • covenants of his.agreement; but he had gone further, and had greatly added to the-value and excellence of their property in every possible way ; and would, no doubt, is the coining, as he had in the late, secure a successful season.—(Cheers.)—The thinness of the meeting he considered as an earnest of the confidence with which the Pro. prietors regarded the manner in which their interests had been promoted.' In conclusion, tine lion. Gentleman moved that the Report should be cwi &med. The Report was =firmed accordingly, and the General Committee, the Sub-Committee, and time Auditor of last year were re-elected. Mr. 1.. B. A et. ft ST and Mr. W. H. C et; re were also elect ed Members of the General Committee, in the room of Mr. Itrcanno and Mr. THOMAS CHtruc* Mr. FaeutwrlE en, one of the Trustees of the new renters, on the part of 'these persons expressed his gratitude to the Sub- Comnnttee, for the manner in which they had conducted the affairs of the Theatre, and stated his perfect confidence that this Theatre would soon exhibit an anomaly in the Watery of' Theatres in this country ; namely, that it would be out of debt. lie then moved the fallowing Resolution : " Whet - the sincere and heartfelt thanks of the Proprietors, Renters, and Bortd.holders, be offered to the SuL-Committee, for the labour, skill, and diligence they have evinced in the arrangement of the affairs of Drury-lane Theatre, and the Alenting ventures to express a hope, that_ they will continue their labour till the bond debt be completely extinguished, and the 'Theatre altogether liberated front embarrassment."-,Car ried WM. con. Mr. Routtes had no intention to trespass more than a few minutes on the attention of the Proprietors. The report was so favourable, that it only remained for hint to congratulate them upon it ; but his great object in rising grew out of the observa tions of the last speaker (the trustee for the new renters) ; he had complimented the Sub-Committee in terms very flattering to them all : the growing prosperity of the establishment was, however, the most gratifying part of his eulogium—at the time when a mismanaging Committee directed the concerns of Drury lane, the shares were Ow worth half what they produced at the present moment, under a legitimate form of government ;"while the rival theatre, the shares in which, in the good old times, were above par, had, since it had changed its form of govern. ment to a Committee of management, retrogaded rthr 40 per cent. This fact needed no commentary. Thanks were voted to Mr. Calcraft, and the Meeting then dispersed, highly pleased with the cheering prospect held - out in such satisfactory terms by the Report. L.l\l" I,TELLIGENCE. simairrs COURT JULY 10. CRIM. HENRY DARING, ESQ. St. P. v. CAPTAIN WEBSTER. This day an inquisition was taken before Mr. Birch'll, the Secondary, at the Office or the Sheriff of Middlesex, in Red Lion-square, and a Special Jury, to assess dantages in the cause in which Henry Webster defendant, for th e se d uct i on o f t h e wife of the former. Baring, Esq. M.P. was plaintiff, and Captain The defendant suffered judgment by default. The damages were laid at 10,000/. The Court was crowded by persons of rank, who were friends of the parties in the cause. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the. plaintiff's case. He said that the Jury must be familiar with the name of the plaintiff in this unfortunate inquisition—iris name was that of a family which stood highly rzsoectable and res p ecte d a mongst all classes of the subjects of this' empire, but }ugliest of all in the mercantile . world. It was universally known, that the Barings were the veriltighest of that most useful and respectable class of the British community, whose intelligerNe and honesty and upright dealings.threatighout the world, had affixed, upon them a station anti character, which constituted one of the ennin pillars that upheld:this great and prosperousCCßlDtry. llenry.Baring, Whose name they had heard as the plaintiff' in this CaUS'..t, was the third brother ofthat family.- lie enjoyed,. by the accident. of inheritance,'a, large fortune, but being disposed very early in life to follow the example of his family, and to eara.an ad ditional provision by his intelligence and industry, lie repaired front his native haute to a very distant settlement—he went in tact to the East India Company's factory in China, where he resided for Several years, and employed to adv a nt age th e energies which he possessed for cotumercisl business. After several yenta' residence in China, he returned home, still not more titan `2l or tlti years of age. He Ibund, upon his return to his family, that-his elder brother, Mr. Alexander flaring, a gentleman, not only well known to all the mercantile chit: meters of his country. but also to the statesmen who govern it, had just returned from America, where he had sojourned for some years, anti brought with him a lady of One of the first families in Pefinsylvania i whom he had shortly before mar ried. This lady (Airs. Alexander Baring) was accompanied to this country by a younger sister, who was the unfortunate subject of. the, pr tent inquiry. 31r. Henry Baring, of course, became acquainted with the sister through his brother's wife. Ile sObn felt the powerful fascination of her charms; he tendefed hiti!affections, and she made a reciprocal return of hers. Sir Francis Baring was not, however, at the mo, scent favourable to the match ; lie wished his son to re. side abroad a• little longer, in the pursuit of commercial affairs. The lady's father was equally indisposed to pro mote the marriage at the time; but the Jury, as men of expe rience in the world, must know that these parental obstacles, so far from operating to damp the affection of the young levers, had a contrary effect. and rather, rivetted more firmly their mutual attachment. The ultimate consequence was, that Mr. Henry Baring married the lesdy in the year l;102. lie would -bring betimes them personages of rank, who would pre; e how affectionate and endearing was the married condition of these parties lot , years after 'the solemnization of the ceremony._ I'heir mutual attachment was even, uninterrupted, and sin. gularly warns in its continuance; that endearing affection which Some married people measure by months, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Baring upheld for twenty years, until the defendant violated the sanctuary of friendship and love. Mr. Baring, au .they all knew, was a Member-of Parliament ; his duties in the Senate necessarily abridged a portion of the domestic society which he owed his wife ; be was necessarily often absent from her same hours in the evening, end at the beginning of the Ses sion of Parliament she sometimes took a trip for a week or ten ,days, never more, either to Brighton or to Paris, or to the watering-places, without being accompanied by her husband, - whose avocations, on these occasions of rare occurrence, did not permit of his attending. her. They never were separated front each other fur any greater length of time until this unfor tunate occurrence, which destroyed the domestic comfort of the plaintiff. Thevatestrophe etas here carried tte its bitterest extent upon the happiness of Mr. Henry Baring's family. The off spring of thins marriage were live in. number; the eldest was a daughter, recently married; enotherdaughter thirteen years of age, a sum nearly twenty, another son fifteen ; anti the last child, an infant, not yet two years of a:..re. To this very last birth he . would prove the tenderest affection. It would be his most painful duty to call before the Jury several members of the Baring family, who would prove the affectionate inter course which, up to the last moment of this satluction, sub sisted between :11r. lienry Baring and his wife ; painful indeed must it be for these witnesses to remember what had, for 20 years, been the fidelity ;nut affection of this lady, and to con trast it with her present unhappy fall, as the victim of a wretched seduction. During the knot yeer, or so, Captain NVebster became tin acqeeintance of Mr. Henry Baring, and a visitor in his family. lie was the son of the late, and brother of the present Sir ilodfrey Webster, and held a military shim tion on the home staff of the 3latquis Wellexley, the present Viceroy of Ireland. .Cant. Webster used to visit Mr. Henry Baring in town, and also in the 'sportin ,, season at Isis hos pitable %%melon in Hampshire. indeed h e was the only strangtr, except hi: Itoyal Highness the Puke of Woe ' center, who met the family at the christening of Mr. Baring's I last -chill. Captain Webster was certainly tine or six years younger than Mrs. Baring ; her :attractions were, however, great anti apparent, notwithstanding her advance in life, and they had been evidently weaned front her husband by Captain Webster. The Captain, us a man of honour, should, have !dimmed the charms of the wife of his fri e nd ; he shatild have remembered that these charms formed no excuse for his unlawful attachment, and could not be pleaded as any palliation of his crime. Ile should have remembered whatlw owed to the sanctuaryof a husband's house, that husband being his host and friend : but he had violated those sacral, anti for that violation the Jury were now e a to tio a tt ,is tt ess a pecuniary penalty. Ile ought to have re membered that this lady w as th e w if e of his friend, and die mo. titter of that friend'' children. If her age could be pleaded by the e I ° ‘ ;:o l i ii g defendant in any attempt at palliation, it should he recollected how that very age augmented the antrenngs which the plaintiff meet ne w cat g ut'. lie had lost, not the society of a wife re cently acquired, but of a lady whose intercourse with him had been hallowed by ,the endearing recollection, now turned into gall and bitterness, of more than twenty years of ardent attachment s e e the dreadful feelings with which this family were now visited ; the children at a time of life when they wee," entering into society. and capable of feeling keenly the act of their mother. there 5,,,,, besides an infant child, now bereft of a mother's care at ttwhich te age culled fur its fostering influence ; and another child, a daughter, thirtea years of age, who must also be deprived of all those ad vantages of introduction into life which a mother could alone adequetely confer. If he were to be told by his learned friend that Qapntie Webster was not in the Nome flourishing pecu niary circumstances which Mr. Bering enjoyed, and could not, therefore, pay heavy damages on this ar y mmon , he would any in ref ly, that Lefore the Jury could look at that side, they must, first consider what had been the plaintiff's loss, and what was m i the accuuleed natureof his injury, The law of the land was, that if a mot bound himself by his contract to perform a certain obligation, he could not escape • from his pledge, by pleading the. excuse of his poverty. ' He must have known his means before he framed the contract, and must be bound by his own act. So here, they could not allow the defendant to say he was tillable to pay heavy damages. That would be to allow him to a ddress them in Such language as this: :. I did the mischief—l inflicted the wrong upon my friend ; but I ant incapable of re dreeeing it ; I cannot afibrd you compensation ire money, and therefore it is in vain to tisk it at wit:tilde." The Jury could not l:•.en,to smelt language. They must hear in mind that it was the established usage in society to award ample compensation in suds cases, and .that it they failed in eatimating that award upon such a scale. an inference would arise that the conduct of the plaintiff had not been what it ought, which in this case would be in direct variance with the positive evidence which he would place before them, from some of the highest mem bers of the family. .To vindicate, then, the plaintiff from iMelt an inference as lie had just glanced at-to prevent its going out to the world, what be was not, he intreated theirs to weigh well die extent of damages with which they would visit the ad mitted guilt of the defendant. They would hear much better than he could describe it, from the witnesses, what were the terms of affection in which Mr. and !ties,. Henry Baring had livetl. 'Better, far better,. even than the most elquent speech, was the'plain and simple evidence of the witnesses of truth describing the domestic facts which fell under their constant observation. I 'They would from this evidence estimate what must have been the acts of the seducer; they would remember the home which he bad made desolate, the children he had de orived_of a mealier, and the friend from whom he had torn to wife. They Would show by- their verdict. the *ewe they en tertained of such conduct, and the protection which they were prepared tn shed around the sanctuary of domestic —The defendant was a military man, and they were Meth. hers of a civil community, and they must tell military men by their verdict this day,:that at the conclusion of a war they mast not bring into the domestic society of peaceable men the min: ners and habits which they may have acquired in cenutris where, unfortunately, less rigid morals prevailed, and where, they might have indulged in the course of service, in arts which are not to be endured in the domestic circle of unsuipecting , private life. He concluded by entreating the Jury, to award, such a compensation in damages, which, though no pecuniary redress could assuage the feelings, or mitigate the sense' of hss' to which the plaintiff was doomed, would nevertheless phew the, defendant that he could not escape with impunity, and set an. example which might deter others from pursuing the sati: arts and accomplishing the same ruin. The first witness was Mrs. %Vail, an elderly. lady of elegant appearance. She stated that she was the eldest sister of Mr. Baying; recollects his marriage to his lade ; her Christian' nair.'s were Maria Matilda, whose sister had previously Mei.- , rind Mr. A. Baring; they were American ladies. Mr. henry Baring's first house in London was in York-place, and occ,a, sionally at Farndown, in Surrey, and afierwatsts at Sonmierby, in I lampshire, which was still his residence. , She had constant opportunities of witnessing the conjugal tendernesa of the f'S, mily, and always observed the greatest tenderness on both sides between Mr. and Mrs. Henry Baring, in whosehouse ehehad passed weeks : together, and never saw between them ths . slightest altercation. There may have been _differences of mere opinion, for they must occur every where.. The eldest (laughter. of Mr. H. Baring was lately married, the eldest ion is at Ok . - ftird, the second atinin the navy, the younger children are at home. Cross-examined by the COMMON SERGF.ANT.—SIue visited at Somerville last September, but nut for a visit of any duration within the last three years. They always appeared to' her to live affectionately together. She did not recollect (as well as she remembered) that Mrs. Henry Baring had been married before she saw Mr. Baring he heard something from others._ Last August the eldest daughter was married. • Mrs. Kempt, another sister of Mr. Baring, gave , : precisAy similar testimony of the affectionate intercourse which she always saw subsisting between Mr. and 'Mrs. Ilmry litirin .-- She did nut know the defendant. - • Cross-examined by Mr. Paux.---Ifer general residence was a day's journey from Mr. Henry Baring's house. l.ast autumn twelvemonth she spent three weeks at his house in the country, and saw them repeatedly , in London after. She never heard from Mr. Baring of any former marriage of his wife's. This Lady's husband merely confirmed the evidence of his wife. Mrs. Dent, another sister-in-law, had only to repeat-that she had uniformly witnessed the same affectionate conduct on the part of Mr. and M rt. Henry Raring towards each other. She was at the christening of the last child in 11122. She saw - Capt. Webster, who was the brother of Sir Godfrey Webster, on that occasion. The Duke of Gloucester was there. . Mr. John Mansfield, son of the late Chief-Justice, married an American Lady, and soon after his return to England, in the year IWO, became an acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. 11. Bariug, who always appeared to hint (and he spoke of his knowledge four years ago) very affection ately engaged to each other. Ile had been mostly abroad within a year or two, and bad not seen so much of them ; but he always thought they were a most indulgent couple to each ether. Crosti.examined by the COMMON SznoE.AXT.-11e always visited Mr. Henry Baring in town and country, but not so much within the last 3 years, having been mostly abroad. lie could nut tell how Mr. Baring spent his evenings; he knew nothing of any former oiarringe of Mrs. flaring; she was under -17 years old - when she came to England. Mr. Bt.aotigs attended Mrs. Baring on the 12th August, 1t i,"2, at her accouchement. It was in London, and Mr. llenry Baring evinced at the time the most tender solicitude. Some of the Ladies who were already examined were re. called, merely to prove that Mrs. Henry Baring was at Brigh. ton whh a French female attendant last November. - _ _ Four letters were put in evidence, from Captain Webster to Mrs. Baring. The one was dated Dublin Castle, the othere Brighton; all breathed the evarmest love, and intl'eated an timep between the parties of the closest nature. Thie was the case on behalf of the plaintiff: r. DENMAN then said it became his duty ta address the Jury on behalf of his client, Capt. Webster, who had suffered judg ment to go by default, and thereby prevented disclosures which must have been painful to all parties, end disgraceful to spine. But he could not help remarking that it never was supposed that so little information would have been produced to the Jury, as a foundation for those heavy damages which his Learned Friend had anticipated. Ile owned that it did appear to him tan: there never was a case which presented so very few features to warrant such a calculation. It was true that some respectable ladies 'had been called, and who h a d g i ven sonic evidence, hut so ver,.ine. material, ass to lead owe to suppose that they had been pro'hieed for no other reason than to give ornament and dignity to the cause ; • for it was quite impossible that they, from their rank mid station, and connection with the parties, could have been' in possession of the secrets of Mrs. Baring, or qualified to speak es to her conduct and principles. They are the sisters of the hies band —unquest ionahly, the sister of the wife could not have been brought forward, but were there not many others that might ? There was a grown-up daughter, had she no governess? Why was not the French waiting-maid called, who had consented to act on sonic oceneions as the " Go-between ?". She might, perhaps, have told the Jury something of the interrupted hap piness, as it was called, of the husband, but which the Jury must have seen had arrived at its conclusion long before Cap fain Webster had become atquainted with this Lady. The Lady's charms, which had won her husband's affections•2oYears before' had vanished, and misery and distress and alienation had been planted in their place. How fallacious was all the evidence—how little upon which the Jury could rely. The respectable Ladies who had been called all stated that even in autumn last the appearance of Mrs. Bari ng t o h er h us b an d were the same as usual : all was tranquillity and happiness. and love, anti yet she permitted a gross assignation with the de fendant a month before. What right then has any man to infer that his client was the seducer ? The Lady was married in 11102 • she was then at least eighteen years of age ; she is now on the verge of fl u ty, if, indeed, she has not. passed that ma tured period of life. The Gentleman was considerably under thirty, the younger brother of Sir Godfrey Webster, a Captain in the Army, and was his guilt so great, or did the circum stances of the case warrant that he should be subjected to heavy damages, which would place his personal liberty for life at the mercy of a man whom he was supposed to have injured ? Ile was anxious to find out what were the feelings of the husband, and with that view he asked Mr. Alansilebl, not whether they observed the common intercourse of life, not the accidental circumstances of domestic life ; but - what, in fact, was the conduct of the plaintiff towards hie wile —how he spent his evenings ; whether his strong.affections had lasted up to the period of the seduction (for then, in deed, the loss would have been irrepairablo ; whether his attachment had not been abated by former seducers; or I whether, in fact, when he had been released from the. embraces of his wife, he had lost any thing more than the name. No opportunity bud been afforded of any examination as - to the situation of the lady before marriage, or any of those circum stances to point nut the extent of the loss which the plaiatiff had bust:tined. No such evidence had been tendered ,• and front its having been withheld he was sure the Jury would draw the proper inferences. The last persons in the world, likely to hear what was going forward were the sisters of the injured husband ; and yet they were the only persona called to de scribe the domestic happiness of the parties, which is now said to have been destroyed by Captain Webster. It wae peel ful 'to that Gentleman to be driven to this line of defence ; it was distressing to him to come here at all ; but .it became die duty of his advocate to suggest those topics in - reply to a case which had been left so singularly bare of circumstances of elu cidation. No proof whatever had been adduced a.. re the period when the alienation of affections lied taken place ; the only time even suggested was when Mr. Baring had become 3lember for Colchester; and then it was stated by his Learned Friend that his Parliamentary duties lied occasioned him to be absent from ,borne sometimes tbr a week, sometimes n fertaight but what evidence was there to show when it was that elre Webster had become acquainted with the lady ? None what ever. Even the French maid was not called to prove it ; all.wes left to surmise and conjecture. The letters. unqueetionably " denote , a foregone conelasion," that the parties mug have frequenly met; ;but under all the proteibilituei of ihe we ! he 1 0%1141 ask who -was the seducer ?, Hie _beamed Fri end had '.made use of an expression not unfrequeutly, intro-. ducat' into cases of this description ; namely, , that the lady had bees; " mare sinned against than sinning ," but if he could borrow the.. quotation, he would venture to up -01 it, and with. much more raison, to his c lient C aptain _ ebster.

DO Y Bow-ST.nr.F.T.—On Saturday George Curd, a post-bol . , the employ of Thomas Clutigh, a stable-keeper, in °stint! - street, was hrought up in custody, charged with grossly ard violently assaulting General Sir Charles Doyle, on Wednesday. Sir Charles stated, dint us he was returning from the revii-v through Brentibril, in his tilbury, on Wednesday, a mash], :- able obstruction took place on the. read from the great num ber of carriages, and that he saw a chariot anti four coming behind hint wi;l 1 great !Teed ; • ou its coining • up, he heard voice from.be;iind say, " the -- flog hint, and ride over him ;" when the prisoner, who was postillion, literally obtyot the orders given, by applying his whip very powerfully to z.ir Charles's head and shoulders, and nearly overturOing ti:e taut!. Mr. Mtxsitui.r. asked Sir Charles if he was drossed in uniform at the time. Sir Charles answered in the elikmative. He then stated, that being determined.to know the authors of this outrage, he lowed the chaise and four, and applied to a lady (for theret was no gentleman within) to know the name of the proprietor 'Of the horses, 4nd if sae bad any objection .to give her name l 4 this be was courteously told that he was " a damned black guard.”--tiir.Cliarles came up to the chaise at Hammersmith. while the horses were baiting, when he was instantly attacked by the prisoner. who was on foot, and several times struck iitis his whip. This outrage was so gross, that several gentlenkeri passing gave Sir Charles their cards; and some of h:s frienns coming up, his name was mentioned, when the prisoner, the person who drove the wheel-horses of die chariot, whom iv, understood to be Clough, Curd's employer, came and begged Isis pardon in the most abject manner ; but as this *as not den: until his name was known, and having the rementbrantie several several strokes of the prisoner's whip on his head,and shoulders, he determined, for the benefit of the public, upirrt taking the step he did ; and the gallant General thanked GO, th a t on receiving the second indignity from the prisoner, ,at Hammersmith, he did not cut him down with a sabre. The prisoner still refosed to tell his employer's name, and si r Chas. mounted the horse of a friend, and followed the chariot till , it arrived at Curzon-street, :flay-fair, where he:learned it wail a courtesan named Stopford, and her female attendant, that had Occupied the chariot, and there ascertained the - name of di: prisoner anti his employer. 416 gentleman, who wait present at the, ( - Range at Hammer smith, said, that he applied to 31rs. Stopforil tor thunatitea of the parties, which she refosed, and desired the.post-boya to make no apology to Sir Chatles Doyle, and if h; iitlluwett her to Curzon-street she would tiog hint herself? A footman of 31rx. Stopford's attended, but hepnly (.011. fumed the outrage. Curd waslocited up until he found good bail.
