THE LONDON JOUH;N.IALS. DAILY Factracts from Me Morning Piers, Sept. 1 [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The letters conveyed by the Lady Araheila, from Mexico, *ere delivered yesterday at the Post °Mee, and the following most important intelligence is extracted from one of them, dated in Alvarado on the 13th July :- -" The affairs of, Guadalaxara are now completely settled. General Bravo has entered- the capital, and has been received , with great rejoicings. The rebels retreated to epic, where they were completely routed, 09 men killed, and all the officers Made prisoners. They were to be immediately tried by a Court. Martial. The soldiers nude prisoners were pardoned by the General Bravo. General •Bustamente and general Quintana, the instigators of all these disturbances, have been sent pri. soners to ,Mexico, to stand their trial. Among the prisoners taken at Teple is a Baron Rosenberg, a German, who, no doubt, will be shot, having been formerly pardoned for his treason, and sent out of the country. The whole of the Fede. ration may now be said to be tranquil, with the exception of the province of Yucatan, where General Santana was lately sent as Governor. He is now gone to Merida, the capital, which city is desirous to continue trading with the Havannah. 4 vessel, the Analmac is daily expected from Campeachy with three Commissioners, to proceed up to Mexico on this subject. The Governor of Tabasco has been sent prisoner to Mexico by the troops, as he wanted to raise a party in favour, of the Emperor lturbide. This was done without the least disorder," &c. &c. This letter is important, because it supplies a blank in the official dispatches of General Bravo, for it was impossible to understand, on reading them, whether General Bustamente and General Quintana, the great leaders of the faction of Gen. Iturbide, had been made prisoners or not. This doubt is now cleared up. The information communicated by this letter is also farther im portant, in us far us it proves the fidelity of the troops to the existing order of affairs in Mexico, by the arrest of the Governor of Tabasco, an other of Iturbide's partisans. The following is an extract of a letter received this morning at Lloyd's from their agent at Vera Cruz. It is dated on the 29th of June. After relating the loss of the British merchant ship the jam., Capt. Leitch, the agent proceeds to state—" Captain 'Leitch 'being obliged to abandon the Jane, he went on board his Majesty's ship, the Forte, at anchor off Sacrificios, for assistance, but Lieut. King, the Commanding Officer, in the absence of Sir Thomas Cochrane, who had gone to the City of Mexico, refused to render any. Captain 'Leitch then came on shore, and was in formed that .the ship Tiger, Duke, had also -struck, but got o(} apparently without damage, Captain - Duke, being however afraid to come in without a pilot. This circumstance was also communicated to Lieut. King, to ho took no no ;tice whatever of it. No regular .pilots being to •be had, General !Uncoil very kindly gave an or der to the Commander of the. Port of Mocambo to provide one, but the Tiger being still at a dis. 'lance of about three leagues, he could not get on board without the assistance of a launch, which was not to be had on shore. I, therefore, along with the pilot, went in a' canoe on board the Forte, requesting him merely to have him put nn board the Tiger, but this was also very uncivilly refused by Lieut. King. This valuable ship was consequently obliged to come in without the assis .ance. of a pilot.' l 7::Now it. would hea curious ques. lion to put to Lieut. King, why the British frigate, the Forte, of forty-six guns, and three hundred men, was, lying idle ut the island of Sacrificios. Was is for the pleasure of the • officers and crow, or was it for the protection of commerce, without which neither the Forte - would he afloat, nor would Lieut. King receive his pay ? It is the paramount duty of the Lords, • of the Adt»iralty to investigate this apparent, ve L oect Of duty on the part of the Officer in command of his Majesty's ship the F or t e , at t h e period alluded ,to in this letter ; for although • their Lordships cannot be expected to make Centlemen, still they have the power to compel the Officers of the Navy to perform correctly their duty. A small exertion on the part of the Forte might perhaps have saved a part or the soliole of the cargo of the Jane; and a boat's crew would have safely brought the Tiger into harbour, by the want of which she was ex posed to considerable danger. TIM IiS.J . Letters have been received from Pernambuco dated the 24th of July, which state, that on the 17th an action took place in Alagoas between the Imperial troops under Morgado, and those of . Carvell)°, the President, whose object it is to establish a Republican form of Government.— The latter was defeated with considerable loss : La consequence of which it was expected the Republican party would be put down, as the population of Abe interior were in general well • affected to the Emperor. It was supposed to be • Carvalho's design to fly to Europe, as he bed caused three ships to be freighted with a valuable cargo Of Brazil wood, of which, with other pro. pasty, he had become possessed in the c o u r s e o f his administration. The troops of Morgado, after their success, were on the march for Pernambuco, which they were expected to enter immediately. These letters also contain advices from Rio de Janeiro of the 3d, and from Bahia of the 1 7th of July. At the former place intelligence had been received .of the disturbances at Lisbon, which obliged the Kieg of Portugal to take refuge on, board of the Windsor CaStle. All alarm 07 an invasion from Portugal had therefore sulislded. The Sandwich packet had arrived from E4und. At Bahia, on the 17th, tranquillity continued to prevail, and confidence was reviving. The Im perial corvette Maria do Gloria had sailed from Kilda, to capture the brig of war which Car vane, had sent down from Pernambuco to blockade Macaio. '[NEW TIMES.] Reports were circulated late yesterday after noon, that the King of France's health was worse —and to this cause may perhaps be attributed the very slight decline itt Consols. They were stationary at gqi until the close of business, 'when the, wipe was 941 i for the Account. We do not believe 'that there was any ground for the re ports nbt7ire4nentioned.

Neapolitan, Prussian, and Russian Bonds conti nued steady.—We are authorised to state, that the name of Messrs. Rothschild, brother, and Co. of Paris, has been introduced into a prospectus of What is termed a Poyais Loan without the sanction of those parties. The resistance of the Slave Owners in Trini dad to the benevolent views of his His Majesty's Government, appears daily in a variety of shapes. Among others we may notice the following cu rious proposal in a Trinidad paper of July last, for the sale of an estate consisting of 160 acres, 25 slaves, trees, Stc.—" An appraisement to be made by personal chosen by the vendor and pur chaser, which valuation to be made at what the same would have been deemed a fair price, pre vious to the experimental measures which have been pursued with regard to Trinidad since the Spring of 1823, and from which appraisement a deduction will be made of one full half of the estimation."--A letter from Trinidad, dated July 2 7) says—" The Order in Council has been a month in force here, but its effects cannot yet be ascertained ; time only will disclose them. In the mean time many individual complaints have been-made by slaves, but only one inAtance of a whole gang proving insubordinute."—(lbid.) [MORNING POST.) An arrival from Gibraltar brought us yester. day two Bulletins issued by the Constitutional Chief, Valdez, during the time that he and his little band held possession of Tarifa. They con firm the suspicions which we entertained when the first accounts of O'Donnell reached us, that both the French and the Royalists had been re pulsed with loss in several attempts to retake that city. O'Donnell, without fairly owning that there had been an action, awkwardly be trayed it, and that he had been defeated too, by declaring that he would have carried the place on the 9th if be had had battering cannon. But from the courage displayed by the besieged, it is doubtful whether the arrival of battering cannon, and of all the force of the French in the vicinity, would have yet succeeded in reducing Tarifa, if the Constitutionalists had not been completely blockaded by land and sea, and therefore un able to recruit their numbers. These, which were small at the beginning, grew less and less, even with the successes which they gained, till at last they proved insufficient to guard the breaches made in various parts of the town walls, and the gallant heroes were overpowered by the mass of their opponents. Valdes, it will be seen, took the title of Commander-in-Chief of the First Liberating Army, and called upon the people to join him, not in the name of the Constitution, but in that of the Country, not to restore a particular system, but to rid the land of its invaders. It is unnecessary to add, that he was among the first shot by O'Donnel. 1l is enterprise bud produced much agitation in the interior, it remains to be seen whether his death will allay that agitation, or hasten the crisis which appears inevitable in the Peninsula. DIRITISU PRESS.] It Is confidently said the new Neapolitan Loan for two millions and a half is to be applied to the , use and benefit of Ferdinand of Spilt. If this ho the fact, we shall soon hear of preparations for the reconquest of the Spanish Colonies. But though the fraud may have prospered so far, we very much doubt that it will succeed to the extent of the hopes of its projectors. The same reasons that have prevented the negocia. tion of a Loan with the dishonest and bankrupt Government of Spain directly, will also p reven t the sale of Neapolitan Scrip, intended to aid that Government indirectly. The Stock Exchange will indignantly scout the transaction, and Fer dinand will he taught, that whatever may be the low cunning and deep trickery of his agents, the monied interest of England are not so silly and shortsighted as to be rendered the dupes of his barefaced and shallow artifices. Already the eminent firm of Messrs. Rothschild, whose names have been impudently mentioned as the contrac tors of this loan, have disclaimed all connectiou with it. Indeed, the high honour which distin guishes the proceedings of that h o u se f or b a d e the suspicion that they could have descended to share in so vile arid miserable a contrivance ; but they have very properly not thought it be neath them, considering the importance of the occasion, to give an unqualified contradiction to the statements which have been circulated respecting their participation in this Bourbon fraud. The creditors of the Spanish Govern ment are much indebted to these gentle men for their conduct, and we have no doubt that the example they have set will be followed by every person of respectability con nected with the English Money Market. Ferdi nand of Spain must be honest towards his old creditors before he can hope to coutract new debts. John Bull is not quite so easily cheated oat of his cash as some roguish wiseacres suppose. If he is snore often cheated than other people, it is because he has more to spare ; but he is slots() weak as to be cheated twice by the same party. 'l`l►l. new edition of the Poyais bubble will fall dead-born, and the new Neapolitan loan will be booted down us soon as, if ever, it snakes its ap pearance on the Stock Exchange. NORNiNG nimALod A letter from Brussels, dated Sept. 7, says— " The Prince and Princess of Orange have been here for some days. They leave this place to morrow fur St. Petersburgh, where her Royal Highness intends to Ito') for the winter with her Imperial Brother. The Prince, it is said, will soon return and reside here during the sittings of the States General. They have with them their four children. The three boys i:alhz about the park in the afternoon with an attendant ; the eldest is now seven and a half years old ; they are fine children. The fourth and youngest is a Princess. There was another child, but it died. Five children since 1816, argue well for this pair, who are both still yours;; and vigorous. The kingdom of the Netherlands need have no fear for want of heirs. The other Royal Prince, Frederick William, is equally promising in this resped'; he is, they say here, already affianced to his cousin, a Princess of Prussia. The Belgians entertain no apprehensions about the multiplica tion of their burdens from this source. The Prince of Orange has, I believe, an income of 18,0001. only from this nation. He and his Princess lead a domestic life, anti both are well liked.— Their Palace adjoining the Chambers of the States General having been some time ago burnt, a new Palace begun at that time is not yet built ; their town residence, therefore, is by no means splendid ; but they have a pretty one near town. The King, their father, is expected here on the 20th instant, to prepare for the opening of the ParliaMent on the third Monday of October. He is said to be entirely a man of bu siness,laborious and economical. His Ministers are merely his assistants, and he provides ample bu siness for them. His income is about 250,0001. it year , an d lie lives within it. The Hague is his favoured resilience; but on the alternate years, when the Siates General, as ordered by the Constitution, sit here, he removes hither with all his family. His Palace of Luken, near town, is remarkably neat, not splendid. There are nineteen rooms, all uniting comfort with sim plicity. They are at present unfurnished, with the exception of some chairs. There is a paint ing on satin by the Queen's own hand ; it shows great taste and good execution. There are also some fine pieces of tapestry which were brought here by Buonaparte, to whom the Palace and garden are indebted for their neatness. It was here the Empress Josephine lived." PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [Prom the Dorset County Chronicle, Sept. 0.) ... - - Don BERNARDO RITADAVIA, who has arrived in England since our last, is an individual who has displayed great ability in the government of Buenos Ayres. We have before us a statement from that country in which his political views are clearly developer},:. Ile has often declared that he re gards England as " the head of the wo r ld," an d as " a glori ous and highly civilised nation." Ile is naturally desirous that England should recognise the new States on the South Ameri can Continent : more especially his own, to which he has for souse years past laboured to give those institutions which its new position demanded. It appears that he had made consi derable advances toward conciliating the discordant tribes of which the population consists : he hail improved the revenue, and all the branches of administrative government; and, considering the novelty of his situation and the inadequacy of his means, we must say that he evinced talents of no or dinary stamp, and proceeded with a degree of intelligence and prudence which does him infinite credit. lie began by send. tug Commissioners (the most able he could find) into all the different provinces and districts of the new Republic, in order to obtain authentic reports of the real state of the country, which, under the title of Secretary of State, he had in effect to govern. lie then endeavoured to improve and extend the foreign relations of Buenos Ayres. First he dispatched a Minister to Rio Janeiro, to treat with. the Brazilian Emperor about the possession of Monte Video ; , then he negotiated treaties with Colombia, Chili, and Peru. Extebding next his views to Europe, he proposed ,to the Spanish Commissioners to obtain by a large pecuniary sacrifice the -'cognition of the independence of Buenos Ayres. ' They acquiesced ; but in the meanwhile the .Cortes, under whose authority they acted, were overthrown, and this treaty became of course a nullity. From circumstances into which we cannot now enter, Signor Rivada via has been induced to retire (at least for a while) from an ostensible public situation ; but he devotes his first moments of leisure to the object of revisiting England, (for he h as b een h ere before), and th oug h h e d oes not now come invested withany public character (so far as is yet known) we cannot but believe countries la i n () t t y b , e 3 l 3 r itisnuitsttteirsl arc prepared beenfull that the result of his voyage will be some arrangement between s ti a la id tw th o atltis length of acknowledging Buenos A ytes as a sovereign and inde pendent State : of this we entertain some doubt; but have no arletdbatns indeed o de tTl i e doubt t.. at , all that M. Rivadavi a will lie 'received: with the dig.inction which his able conduct in the direction of affairs at Bue zs Ayres fully warrants. - Tile latest,accounts front Peru are fa urable to Bolivar; but unfortunately they come through Arne._ rican pap ers; ant i the Amerieinii(wti Mean those of the United state.) are not so eminently distinguished for veracity, as to induce us. to place implicit confidence ' in the circulate. In fact even the New York Ed storiestr which they 61 affects a degree of modesty rather uncommon-. With him.' the news front Peru is verbal, and we should be placingt'attiouisensrays too much confidence in its accuracy. After this it can onlyb be ne cessary to state, in a very few words, that the doubtful question represents quilao and . Lima to have fall news in en into the hands of Bolivar. It is certain that Bolivar is a man of great attainments as a military commander, and, we also believe, of much-integrity as a man ; but as a politician we think mean ly indeed of his talent s , h av i ng had an o pportunit to peruse some of his political rhapsodies, which ar of old Jeremy Bentham. While cc not a jut better than those selves with, hinting at jeidowies and er . tain writers please them.. the French Government and our own, itThi vr tinderstandingbe e can very c on fide n tly . assure our reers that no such da tugs exist ; but on the th ‘t i contrary L wo lovernments tire at this nunnent dullycor employed on arrangements for the mutual accommoda tion of their subjects, on the footing of an enti re . reciprocity.-- The same good understanding su bsists generally throughout Europe, with the exception of Spain; which exception we make, solely because Spain appears to us so disorganised, that it would be equally unwise to regard her as a friend or an enemy : she is neither: she is incapable of injuring her foes, and she is a lamentable burthen to her friends. D ESTRUCTI VE Ftm.—Last night about half pest nine o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in Rosemary llranch-lane, Rosemary-lane, Tower-hill. The fire is supposed to hav e o r i g i nat ed i n t h e h ouse of a cooper. The neighbour hood is inhabited by Foreign Jews, . who were seen running about in all directions in a state of nudity. The surrounding inhabitants in Rosemary-lane were so overpowered with the unexpected visitation, that they refused to open their door to the fugitive wretches, doubting the truth of their lamentable story, till they raised their eyes, and saw the whole horizon in a blaze. They cried nut in a pitiful tone, " Let us in—we be poor foreigners —Foreign Jews—have lost all—nothing lefo - were admitted, and remained agonised spectators of the de vouring element around them. The fire-engines now arrived, but could only act in a partial manner, in consequence of the contracted situation of the buildings. We, by great exertions, succeeded in getting in towards the tire, and had a full view of its progress, being on the spot five minutes after it commenced, and beheld its destructive progress from the windows of the first house to those of the second. At first the glass began to crack, then the frame got in, and all seemed quiet for about five minutes, when the explosion of the next window announced that the interior was in flames. Then came . the yell of distress for the fate of the next house. " Insured, insured," fora ment relieved t h e dolorous ejaculation, till the tire seized a house not under the protection of the omnipotent Insurance Company For those houses which were insured every person seemed perfectly easy, with the exception of the firemen, who exerted all their might to extinguish them. The rain fell v er y heavy during the even i ng, an d but it was remark e d , t h at f i re always burns b etter in such cases. Hereit was too true—the waterqmpes were seen melting down the fronts of the houses., while the frames burst out from the windows. We understand that not less than 20 fires have taken place in this immediate vicinity during the last ye ar , an d severia within u few yards of this very spot. We have not heard that any lives were lost, but the fire has dune great dam age.—( 41/oe n i rig Paper.) EXPLOSION ItY (Irks. --- ---On Thursday evening, an explosion by gas took place at the shop of Alessi's. Harts, linen-drapers, Ilolborn-hill, which was fortunately the occasion Of no further serious consequences than the total demolishment of every pane of glass in the window where the accident oc curred. One of the windows of Messrs. Harts is completely closed from the shop, to prevent the introduction of the dust amongst the articles there displayed, and the gas, having been incautiously turned on front below without the tube in the win dow being secured, on the momentary introduction of a li g ht an instantaneous explo s i on t oo k place, as loud as th e report of a 24-pounder, blowing into the midst of the road every pan e o f the common glass, and only leaving in the Window the row of plate glass, which assumed a most singular appearance, from its being cracked in all directions. Fortunately no person chanced to be p ass i ng at t h e t i me, or we might have to record a dreadful accident, occasioned by downright carelessness. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LANETsTifir, PT . 8. [BObre Sir John II uta.qex and a Common Jury.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF .MARRIAGE. This was the case of " Wait v. Aspinall," and attracted extraordinary attention. The Attorney-Genetal (Mr. Scarlett) Mr. Williams, and Mr. Crompton, conducted the case on the part of the plaintiff; Mr. Brougham, Mr. Joy, and Mr. Horn, appeared on the part of the defendant. Mr; WILLIAMS opened the pleadins. R Mr. SCA LETT then addres se d the Jury, and in an eloquent and feeling speech developed the plaintiff's case. He fully de. tailed the facts which were afterwards elicited from the wit nesses, and concluded by calling on the Jury to render his client such compensation as damages could afford for the grievous and unmanly injuries and insults which the defendant had inflicted on her. Mr. WILLIAMS then proceeded to call and examine Isabella Neil--She is the sister of Matilda Wait, the plaintiff; her sister's age is 21 ; there are four brothers and two sisters ; the sisters are older than the plaintiff'; her father has resided in Liverpool for three years ; witness has been married herself about three months ; her father came from Settle in Yorkshire; he carries on the trade of a tobacco and snuff-dealer in the retail way in Liverpool; he resided in ‘Vhitechapel-street ; lie now resides in Paradise -street; the shop was not his dwelling-house in Whitechapel.street ; the shop was 100 yards front Paradise street where they lived ; her sister Matilda Wait used to at tend in her father'a shop; her family w ere not acqua i nted with the defendant wh e n th e y first came to Liverpool. The defend ant has a situation in the Customs there. 'Witness was at Blackburn in the first instance; she never saw the defendant but once, which was in May, 11123; she received a letter whilst in Blackburn from her sister, requesting her to come to Liver. pool and assist her in arranging her wedding-clothes ; she was to be married to the defendant. About a week afterwards she (witness) saw the defendant, he came and w a s s h ewn i nto t h e parlour; her sist er Isabella introduced him to witness as Mr. Bromfield, to whom she said she was shortly going to be mar. ried ;he said he had brought a parcel of wedding-caps, and a wedding dress ; the def e ndant shewed them to her, and she said she thought they were very fine ; he said he hoped in a few days that he should have the pleasure of calling her Mrs. Bromfi e ld ; he left the caps, & c ., for her sister. Witness was soon after called into the parlour to witness a scene of the most distress ing nature; this was after his return from the customhouse; she found her sister had fainted; there was a lady there; she supposed it to be Mrs. Aspinall, the defendant's wife ; the de. fendant, the plaintiff; Mrs. Aspinall, and the witness, were all in the room ; when her sister recovered, Mrs. Aspinall sa id, " Good God ! wh a t i s t hi s ? you are my husband, what can you be wanting here ?" Her sister immediately said, " You rascal, what could you mean by deceiving me ?" Mrs. Aspinall said, "Am I not your wife, font Aspinall ?" he said, yes • but I made a mad wedding of it." tier sister exclaimed, wily your name is not Aspinall, b u t B rom fi e ld from Macertree ?' Ile said, " no it is not; I am a married man; my name is Aspinall." —Her sister replied, " how could you come here ?" He re. joined by saying, he was infittuated with her; that lie loved her to distraction ; and that if he had not been found out as he bad by Mrs. Aspinall, he certainly would have married her.—Ad. dressing himself to Mrs. Aspinall, I can say of Miss Wait, she is still a virtuous and an innocent girl forme; and her honour is untainted. Mrs. Aipinall told her sister that she was exas. aerated to say several wo r d s ' t o h er w h en she found him as she had ; but that she was sorry for it now, seeing her situation, and wished to shake hands with her, which she did ; but that her husband was a scoundrel; and said as she was going out of their hall, she should make further inquiry about what had been re presented to her of her and the house to which she had followed Mr. Aspinall in. Iler sister fretted very much after this bad happened, and she could not get her to speak all that night; and all that she said was, she was a lost and broken-hearted girl. She laid down on her bed and was worse. The day following she continued poorly, but was able to come down into the par lour. She continued so for three or four days ; the defendant called the day after ; I saw him and said, you are not to be ad mitted into this house any more. Ills wit'e also called two or three days after , and saw her s i s t er . Sh e remembers her sister told her th a t he hint said if any thing should be said of what had happened, it would be the ruin of bins with his father, and requested his lett ers b ac k, an d her sister gave them him ek, us she thought she was dying. He had written a letter; she had heard half of it, he lead it in her presence. It was ad. dressed to her father. She can only recollect a few words. It was to this effect—that he was infatuated with her sister— lie adored her, anti that lie loved her to distraction. He called the day after the letter arrived. Mrs. Aspinall called after wards anti saw her sister, who was then in bed ; it was be tween two and three its the afternoon, and the second day after she h " fainted. The letter was sent to her father. Mrs. As was so far recovered as to be able to go to her house and take still very poor dedidaf7oi;n on the 4th day, and said she hoped her sister called on her sister in company with his eldest son ; lie said you are coining to tea with us. The brother afterwards came for y. 111 r w . a t ti ss a p t in lA a l l7 . li l i t ts .' fi s v u e rg e e l n li t ld r r e tr. est ili S s l f je at w h a er s her, anti said it was at M rs . A sp i nti ll' s part i cu l ar request he had called, and that her coming would clear her character up, and that Mrs. A. would make her her companion. Her sister then went and stayed at the defendant's house for three months ; still she grew worse ; she was attended by several medical men at her father's house but did not mend ; she was supposed to be dying and was given up by the physi cians ; she is bett er now, but still very poorly. Witness did not go to Mr. Aspinall' s ; he said several times to her sister— Matilda, I have brought disgrace and scandal upo n y ou an d your family, which I ate Very sorry for, and it Is pry duty as well its my inclination fo do all for you in my power ; and that lie had made a settlement upon her. Ile said that he would u low titer he always h e wou ld provide for her as long as lie and she lived want medicine and l7 phy rl tro att e ndannttu, called frequently to inquire after her sister's he a l t h, an d sa i d e that lie should never forgive himself if she died. Ile came fre. a l I s e r 8.11 l ve l oicudldef.c about her sister ; o ne t i me h e was admitted intently and was occasionally permitted to see h er. Ile con. versed with wi tness up stairs and uttered the following ejaculation, " Oh, God ! what rim Ito do for this poor girl; she is dying !" this was in her bedroom ; lie got her letters afterwards ; witness had been on a visit to Manchester ; she was 'untried there ; she con. tinned there until February last, when she received a letter front the defendant to come to her sister ; she (witness) was ill at the time ; she obeyed the call and came instantly, poorly as she was herself; her sister could not speak. Mr. SCAR LETT—You know his hand -writing ? Witness—Yes.—(Letter read, to this effect) : AIY DEAR ISABELLA— Your po or sister lies dangerously 111, and her recovery is very doubtful. She has been bled to profusion ; you know her tender complaint. Doctol. Macartney (God forgive him !) Does not appear to und ers t an d her cons. plaint. Dr. Trail h as b een ca ll ed in, whose attention to her can never be forgotten by me. I pray that you will come im. mediately ; but take care of your own health, and make it your first consideration.—Believe me, my dear Isabella , &c. (Signed) THOMAS ASPINALI.." Mr. BROUGHAM cross-examined the witness at great length, but elicited nothing of importance to the case. She denied that her sister had received any regular allowance from the defend. ant, or that she had ever, to her knowledge, walked out with him ; and that she had sustained a hurt while in Yorkshire. Cecilia liampson examined by Mr. Citostwrosr—She now keeps the George Inn ut Liverpool. She new there (the plain. tiff's family) a fortnight. After she came to Liverpool she was in the constant habit of calling on them. She saw the defendant —he used to call to see Matilda Wait. She introduced him to her by the name of Thomas Bromfield ; this was in the sunnner of 1821. She saw hint in the street, and lie answered to the name of Bromfield. She never saw him at the plaintiff's house. She saw him twelve months ago ; Inc came to her father's house, and said lie heard she was dangerously ill. He said to witness that Miss Wait was as lovely, as innocent, and as virtuous a young creature as any in the empire. He asked to be admitted to see her. She told him that her mother would not allow him to come into the house, and it' site did admit him that she was sure she would commit violence on his person. She has seen the caps, &c. at Mrs. Cray's ; he brought them, and witness saw the preparations going forward for th e we ddi ng. She saw bonnets, &c. Sh e heard Miss Wait say they were neighbours. Cross-examined by Mr. ItttounllAM—ThiS was nine months ago ; it was in her father's house. Witness never saw her in the parlour. The defendant came to visit her. She never saw him after the discovery of his being a married unto. She has seen the plaintiff frequently since. Thomas Neil, cross-examed by Mr. SCARLETT—IIO IS a mercer, and resides at Manchester; Isabella Neil is his wile, and she is the sister of the plaintiff; they were married on tire 12th ofJuly last, but lie refuses to tell where they were married; he became acquainted with her at her father's house in the years 11122 and 11123 ; Mr. Aspinal himself told him that he courted Miss Wait, that he was infatuated, and unfortunately attached to her ; that he had passed ant a single man to her, and that but for its being dete c t e d by M rs . A s pi na ll h e cer t a i n l y would have married her; th a t he c o uld n o t r es ist the pa s si on l ie f e l t; that he was infatuated, but that she was as innocent as she was lovely. When Dr. Macartney was called he knew her complaint, and had reported It to the defendant, who said he felt great anxiety about her, he pressed for more Doctors; lie doubted Mr. Beard, and wished others called in. [ A letter was then put in and read, directed to witness, to the following effect, dated 24th Feb. 11124.] My dear Thotnas—l uni afraid your poor sister Matilda is worse if you wish to see h er a live, you and I sa b e ll a must come directly„ She is supported by the Almighty alone, &c. (Signed)"'Pups. ASPIWALL." Examination continued—On the receipt of this letter he pro. ceeded to the house of her father, and f6tMd some lattice with her; she was very ill; he saw the defendant, who weuld have other medical men called in. Mr. Beard was at that time in attendance. Dr. Trail was called in. Defendant told witness that he intended to make an ample provision for her for life, as lie knew he was the only cause of her illness. Dr. APCarthey examined by Mr. WILLIAMS—He - is * Phy' sician, residing at Liverpool. He was called in to seethe plain• tiff in the beginning of the year 1823 ; he attended her in Whitechapel, at her father's house; she had nervous head aches ; he treated them as such ; she had a great deal of fever and palpitation of the heart—pains in the head, side, back, and occasionally fainting floc ; distress of mind was very likely to bring on such symptoms ; he had only make& thesis few days ago; they might be brought on from disappointettlove. —. He saw her in the months of June, July and Augusthlst O he continued in that ailing state ; he saw her in ebruery, ,but not since. He never thought her to be in that dangerous.stste as she was described to be in. The following is an abstract of the bond, dated July 048241 - ' " I T. A. do hereby agree to pay Al. W. dOring ft term of the natural life of th e sa id 31. W. the sum el* . per annum, during so long as she shall live, but to cease on bet marriage or death ; and the said M.

This bond had not been carried into effect. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL then said, this is our, my Lord. Mr. 13notrairaM immediately rose, and commenced his ad` dress to the Jury :—He had never since he had attended . K CMS 'of Justice known of so extraordinary a case. Its circumst ances were in fact so sin gu l ar th at h e a l most doubted their reality- s, deeply regretted th at the plaintiff had ever brought It to Mali if` who could help sy m p at hising with the wife and family of hitu r i t ll fortunate client ; and who could help lamenting at the °end Is was, although not criminal) had not been buried talc told by her own sister that art illicit interamrse (for oblivinn•"4 Let the Jury look to the facts, and the would behold ; i t ( plaintiff a living monument of shame. After a time she kna l L,',, defendant to be a married man, and still c,ountenancedh ia and received presents from him. She did this too when she that an affectionate wife was well nigh driven to distraction by husband's mad act. The defendant also demanded commune .7 tion. Had he not made every reparation he could justly ran t to work on the credulity of the defendant's father; or was he entirely to ruin his family ? The plaintiff had th ° but 'lin o not t e w t b as ee n n ion p s re tro re l she had been disappointed, and now prompted htreL es teine to receive ree l ; years after the transaction, she endeavoured to build o we on the ruin of his unfortunate client.

But how came it, h e e li w en l o ask, that this virtuous young lady never questioned h's,oudb to his connections, and whether he was married or net ? he lived in the next street she had made no inquiries. As to the ni a bond, even had it been d u ly executed by the defendant compliance with it m ust have been his utter ruin. he (Mr. Brou g h am ) remem b ered that hi s c li e nt had vitte m ' _ his plated the crime of bi g amy, h e could not believe he was to senses; but then mark how th e pl a i nt iff had acted-14143 ibc found lie was married, she actually went and resided in hit ; red for three month s ! If the Jury gave heavy damages, they amts a reward for vice in womankind. Why were not her p. called—they would best bear testimony to the facts—but it wAr easy tit now see that her father w a s the conductor of the sf_t in now action. The Learned Gentlemen concluded by 1 , ing, that he should c a ll no w it nesses —but w a s satisfied t!Y.r : a is i, his client to the judgment of the best of all tribunals --s Le a l Jury, convinced that they would only give such on° damages as the case required. The Learned JUDO) then proceeded to charge the 4 1 1: He said that this was an action brought to recover sped, a' ti f t mages under most distressing circumstances. The Plat," claimed compensation at their hands for the loss of that sere"''' „ of mind which was perhaps one of the greatest blessthlll• They (the Jury) should not, however, let their feelings outsteP the bounds of justice, but should award temperate and ady quate damages. His Lordship was then proceeding to O: dirough the evidence, when the Foreman said they were agreed. The Jury then consulted far a few minutes, and retuned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Seven Hundred and Flfil Pounds. When the verdict was pronounced a murmur ran throng the Court. The Court was extremely crowded ; a gre at null her of' elegantly dressed females were among th e . auditors, art several ladies of distinction sat on each side of die Judge. COAL MARKET, SEPT. 10.
