" THE T'N', LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, August 10. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) CRIM. CON.—EIINN V. CARTER. This was an action to recover damages for criminal conversation with plaintiff's wife. Defendant having suffered judgment to go by default, this was an inquiry to assess damages, which were laid at _l,OOO/. Mr. PARRY said that the defendant, by not pleading, admitted all the facts alleged in the declaration, and under such circumstances it was generally unnecessary to prove the adultery, but in this case, Mr. Bunn, the plaintiff, instru c t e d hi m to d o so i n or d er th a t the facts might appear on the notes. The object of the plaintiff was not to obtain a verdict for the sake of the money, but in order to take pro ceedings in the House of Lords to obtain a divorce. The Learned Counsel then stated that plaintiff is a re tired licensel victualler, at present residing at Hurst tey•race, Hoxton. WhA defendant was now, or where b e resided, he could not' say, but, in 1845, when the offence took place, he was a man-in-possession in a tavern in Bucklersbury under a levy by the sherlf. Plaintiff was Married in 1835, but it was soon discovered that Mrs. Bunn was addicted to habits of intem perance, and a tempTary separation took place, but they again cohabited tegether till 1842, when a deed of separation took place in which plaintiff undertook to make her an allowance, aro loag as she conducted herself with propriety. It wo - ald be proved that in June, 1845, when defendant was in possession at the tavern, Mrs. Bunn was also there, and the connexion between her and defendant there took place, and as he believed frequently when she was in a state of intoxication. It was necessary to observe that although the plaintiff had good reason to suspect his wife, yet he had no means of obtaining legal proof till five or six months ago. The Learned Counsel then called Thomas Eggbear, a picture-frame maker, in Chapel street, Clerkenwell, who proved he knew defendant, who was in possession at the Albion. On one occasion he went up stairs to speak to defendant, and on opening the door he saw the defendant and Mrs. Bunn together. (The evi dence here was quite conclusive.) Defendant followed him, and told him not to tell Andrews or White. White was a sheriff's officer, and put defendant in possession. Defendant used to boast of his connexion with Mrs. Bunn. The SECONDARY thought this evidence was sufficient. Mr. PARRY said his client was anxious for the case to be gone into, as it might be important hereafter. Mr. W. H. White was called. Was a sheriff's officer, and put defendant in possession. Mrs. Bunn was in possession under a bill of sale put in by Mr. Giddye, a clerk to Messrs. Helmsley and Preston. He had seen familiarities pass between defendant and plain tiff's wife. Witness cautioned him, and said that it would get him (witness) into discredit, and he wished he had not put him in posses• sion. Defendant said "Never mind, it's all right." Witness had frequently seen Mrs. Bunn intoxicated, and had carried her up stairs. Defendant had also said he had. taken her up stairs when in that state, and made an Ohservatiou to the effect that an improper intercourse had taken place between them on the occasion. A Juror—Was she conscious at the times you have seen the familiarities should say she was. Juror—Did defendant know she was a married woman ?—I can's say; she went by the name of Mrs. Dunn. Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, of High-street, Harrow-on the-Hill, also gave corroborative testimony. Several witnesses were then called, who said plaintiff was a highly respectable and sober man. The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and said that, per haps, defendant did not know that Mrs. Bunn was a married woman, for she might have been a widow, but in any way the defen dant's conduct, had been exceeelingly improper, con sidering the situation he had been in ; the filets were clearly proved, and the question of damages was one entirely iGr the jury, who, on the one hand, must take care not to give excessive damages; and, on the other, notwithstanding the circumstances of defendant, they ought not to give small damages, so that if the case went before the superior Court it would be thought that the jury had considered the case and thought it trivial. The jury, after some consultation, gave a verdict for 50/ ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERLY CIRCUI T.—Devizes, Aug. 9. CROWN COURT.—(Be!ore Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.) Rebecca Smith was 'fleeted for the wilful murder of Richard Smith, by administering to him a quantity of deadly poison called white arsenic, on the Bth of June, and on other days between that and the 12th of June, on which day he died. Mr. Slade and Jr. Lopes were counsel for the prose cution, and Mr. Haddon for the prisoner. The facts of the present case were extremely simple: —The prisoner was the wife of Philip Smith, a labourer, residing at Westbury. They had been married 18 years; she had been the parent of 11 children; all of these children, with the exception of the eldest, died in extreme infancy. The prisoner, with her husband, had resided for many years at Bretton, but about three years since they removed to Westbury. The child Richard Smith, whose death the prisoner was charged with having caused, was born on the 16th of May in the present year; it was full-grown, and was a fine healthy boy; it con tinued well up to the 7th of June, on which day it became sick, and on the 12th of June it died. Certain suspicions having been raised in the minds of the authorities, the body of the child was disinterred. The intestines were then submitted to the investigation of two medical men, who having found arsenic, the - intestines were taken to Mr. Herapath, the eminent chemist of Bristol, and he found solid arsenic in the stomach, and frOm the ap pearance of the stomach the medical men were clearly of opinion that the death bad been caused by arsenic, and, as the child was not morn than three weeks old, it was evident that the poison must bare been administered to it by some one, end it must have been given at different times; the important question then arose by whom was the arsenic administered? Before her con finement the prisoner had asked at different houses for poison, which she stated she wanted to destroy mice. Persons who lived in the prisoner's house stated that they had never seen or heard of rats or mice there, nor had they heard the prisoner complain of them. On the 25:h of May the prisoner sent for a girl of the name of Caroline Mackey, and wanted her to go to Mr. Taylor's, the chemist, and buy a pennyworth of poison for her; the girl's mother, however, would not suffer her to do so, and the girl did not go. On the 7th of June the prisoner saw a woman of the name of Prudence Mead, and after some conversation the prisoner - said she wanted to buy a pennyworth of poison, but, as she could not o3tain it without a witness, she begged Prudence Mead to accompany her to Mr. Taylor's shop, as she said she had so many mice that she cuuld not put any thing out of her hands for them. Prudence Mead accom panied her to Mr. Taylor's, and the prisoner asked the apprentice for a pennyworth of poison. The apprentice asked her what kind? She said she did not know. He took down a bottle of white arsenic, and told her what it was. She said that was the kind she wanted. He said it was a very dangerous thing. He put her one drachm on a piece of paper. He then folded up the arsenic in a white paper, and wrote upon it " Arsenic—poison" in large letters. He then wrapped it in a blue paper, and tied it up and gave it to her, and told her she must be very careful of it, and be particular to keep it out of the way of children. The prisoner said he need not be afraid, as she was not going to use it herself; it was for her sister at Bratton, who was infested with rats and mice. The sister, however, stated that she had not asked the prisoner to get any poison for her, though she had rats and mice in the house. The poison having been thus obtained, on the 7th of June the prisoner returned home. The child had had some boils on its ears, but had been otherwise well; but on the evening of the 7th of June it was seized with vomiting, and was in considerable pain. The child pined and on the morning of the 12th of June died. Then some statements made by the prisoner were brought forward. After she was taken into custody a woman of the name of Ann Staples had the care of her. She (the prisoner) told her that the girl Mackey had told a great many lie 3 about her. She hal never asked her to go for poison more than once, although the girl had said she had asked her to go three times. The pri soner then told Staples that she had bought the poison, but had thrown it over the hedge going home, that she had bought it for her sister at Bretton, to kill rats and mice, but she had thrown it away because her child was ill, and she thought her neighbour might say sbe had given it to the child. Staples said that if she could tell where she had thrown it, perhaps the police would go and find it. The prisoner answered that they could not find it, because she had thrown it into the water at the back of the chapel. She said it was tied up in two papers of white and blue, and the inside paper had " poison" written on it. Before the child was taken ill, on the 7th of June, the prisoner asked several persons if they did not think the child was " wasting," but they said they thought it was per fectly healthy. The prisoner said it was very cross at night. During the illness of the child the prisoner was advised to have medical aid, but she said it was of no use to so young a child. The prisoner was in a weakly state, and had very little nourishment, being extremely poor and badly off: Mr. HAnnos, for the prisoner, addressed the jury, and urged upon them the improbability of a woman speaking to so many persons about poison who had the intention to murder her own off3pring—a circumstance of itself so unnatural that it could not be believed unless proved by the most clear and cogent evidence. He also urged upon them the absence of motive. .nrMr. Justice CRESSWELL summed up the case to the y with his usual ability and care. ret/ : / u ae Jury retired f or h a lf an hour, an d t h en on th e ir pounce rn the the Foreman said—lt is our painful duty to prc her to mercy.prisoner Guilty, but we strongly recommend Mr. Justice CRESSWELL—On what ground, gentlemen? Foreman —That she real time to repent. Mr. Justice CRESSW4La;7loaevnitl put on the black cap tanedpri%,,ner:—Rebecca proceeded to pass sentence Smith, an intelligent, patient, jury have found it their duty to return a verdiacntlii;" you upon a charge of the most awful kingduioltnyuenasdguabjinecstt can commit against another. Murder must, circumstances, be a dreadful crime, but I wat words express the horror of it when perpetrated by a mother against her own offspring. There may ba unhappy in stances in which the feelings of a mother are stifled by an overwhelming sense of shame which may induce her to put away her child in the desire that its existence ' may never be known. We have had dreadful instances, in which avarice and the desire of gain has led to the same fatal result. But it is new to me to have to in quire into a case in which a mo:her has been proved by evidence most conclusive to my mind, to have sacrificed her own child for no traceable motive, but that of saving herself the trouble and the charge of maintaining it. It is, indeed, an awful crime—one which may well call for repentance, which the jury have laid as a foundation for a recommendation to mercy. That recommendation will, of course, be forwarded to the proper quarter; but I cannot bold out to you th© smallest hope that it will be attended to. The law allows a certain time for repentance and preparation for that dread trial which takes place hereafter than you have undergone before an earthly tribunal. The law allows that, and I cannot apprehend that the insufficiency of that— if it be insufficient, can bo considered a sufficient ground for allowing a person guilty of so awful a crime to escape the last penalty of the law. I should only mislead you, and turn away your thoughts from repentance, if I held out to you the slightest hope that y our sentence will not be carried into effect. It is my duty to impress upon you the certainty that the last penalty of the law will be inflicted,—that within a short time your career will close, and then you will have to account for all the deeds you have done here, and I impress upon you the necessity of attending to the admonition and instruction of the chaplain of the gaol, to whose care you will be hereafter committed. It is not for me to point out what you have to dread or what you may venture to hope as to futurity; that is his duty. He bears a sacred commission so to teach, and so to alarm, and so to comfort, as may best discharge the functions imposed upon him by his holy office. I entreat you to indulge no false hopes. Do not imagine you can escape the consequences of the deed you have done, for i t i s necessary, for the security of the public, to award that the extreme punishment should be inflicted when so dread a crimp is distinctly and satisfactorily proved. Rem3mber, that iu a few days your life must go, and then you will commence an existence, for good or for evil, to endure for ever. To the instructio❑ of the chaplain, then, I recommend you. His Lordship then passed sentence upon the prisoner, who throughout evinced not the slightest feeling. The court was crowded almost to suffocation. There were many ladies of the county in court. During the proceedings, at one answer given by a witness, there was a general laugh, upon which his Lordship remarked, that the barbarous curiosity evinced upon this occasion was sufficiently disgusting without such grossly improper conduct being exhibited. NORTLIERN ClRCUlT—Cumberland, Aug. 4. LIBEL CASE.—COWEN V. STEEL. This was an action for libel brought by Robert Cowen Esq., against Mr. Steel, the proprietor and editor of the Carlisle Journal, for a certain article published in that paper on the 23d February last. The declaration set forth that the publication of that article had "damnified" the plaintiff in his business or profession as a "consult ing engineer"—and he claimed damages to the amount of 1,0001. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. llnthank appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Cowling for the defendant. sMerigUeaNnTteelvaelultiasvianagidle—rimefiyy oLpoerndedantaheGpelneatldtimnbgeesnf,oroef the Jury, I have the honour in this case to appear. events iyoun hiso on ire behalfha have eof caused the him plaintiff,m more ed pain a a i n m t shuarne thatt e w whieh has rendered it absolutely necessary for him to come into a court of law—not to put money in his pocket—not to seek to make a market of his reputation, and to dip deeply into the purse of his opponent, but merely for the purpose of setting himself right before the world, having no more than a proper and righteous regard for his own reputation, as well as for the 'dignity of the offices which he is called on to fulfil. He has come be fore you to-day with great pain to himself, to ask at your hands compensation for the injury he has sustained, but he has a higher object in veiw—to submit his con ' duct to the fullest investigation, in order that he might be set right before those whose good opinion is as dear to him as life. Even now—at this stage of the proceed. ings—before I enter into topics which may have a ten dency—though I will guard against it as much as pos sible—to widen the breach which has unfortunately been made between parties, and to increase the feelings which in my opinion ought never to have existed, and which my client is anxious should subside—l am instructed to say that if the other side will only do him the justice to which he is entitled—if they will only acknowledge that in the heat of the moment, in the strife of party feel ing, they have been led to state that which, on refl• ction they cannot justify—he has instructed me to say that he is anxious no further disclosures should be made, or no statements entered into which might disturb the peace and tranquillity of his neighbours. And I will go further, and say, that from what I have known, heard, and read vvi.h regard to this transaction, there is nothing my client is more anxious for than to be at peace with even those who have attacked him, and co-operate with them in public measures they may engage in for the public good. All he asks is that they should do justice to him, and that done, he does not ask for a single farthing beyond that which is necessary to pay the ex penses of bringing the case here to clear his character. If that is accepted, I think it would be best for all parties, because he is perfectly aware of the talents, he is per fectly aware of the worth, he is perfectly aware of the influence in society which the gentleman who is defendant in this action properly and righteously exercises in this town, and he believes that if they were united, and past angry feelings forgotten, they might co-operate for the public good—and those virulent attacks which have been repeated week after week might be forgotten—and those who had hitherto been enemies without causs, might, with good cause, become friends, and the city of Carlisle rejoice at it. Mr. KNOWLES—I really don't know what my Learned Friend means. Mr. Sergeant WILKINs—If they will withdraw the imputations contained in the article in question, and admit that in the heat of party feeling they stated things which sober judgment will not justify, that is all my client asks and is anxious for. (Here there was a consultation for a few minutes be tween the counsel and solicitors in the case.) Mr. Sergeant WILKINs—I am instructed further to state that they have put an entirely wrong construc• Lion on anything Mr. Cowen has done. He has repeated over and over again, and he repeats it now—he never meant to cast the slightest imputation on Mr. Steel, or those who act with that gentleman. When he found fault it was not with their integrity or honour, for he believed them to be men of integrity and honour, and only thought that as a man engaged in scientific pursuits all his life he might impugn their judgment in those matters without offending them or subjecting him self to the charge of arrogance. He never meant to re flect on their honour or to impute improper motives to them. The JUDGE (to Mr. Knowles)—What do you say to that? Another consultation took place between the parties, after which, Mr. Sergeant WILKINS resumed—l am happy to state that we have come to the arrangement I suggested, which, I have no doubt, will add to the respectability and honour of all parties. I am quite sure that Mr. Steel, whom my client has always regarded as a very talented and respectable member of the Corpora tion of this town, will do him equal justice, and say that Mr. Cowen is far too well known for any person to believe that he came here for the sake of money. There is one part of this libel which requires some little explanation. It is that which im putes to my client a deliberate intention of burning a deed in which the municipal interests of Carlisle are in volved. The facts are these. There had been for some years a gas company in this city, and the charges which that company made for gas to the consumers had become a subject of complaint. The consequence was that in 1845 a new company was projected, but it was thought that Carlisle was not large enough to admit of two cum pearl.. companies, and a number of gentlemen came for. ward, entirely and exclusively for the benefit of the town, and proposed that the shares of the old company should be purchased and put into the hands of trustees and that these new trustees should carry on the gas works for the benefit of the town, and hand over the profits to the corporation. It did so happen, however, that five persons held out and would not agree to that arrangement, and ultimately they file a bill in Chancery. It was then feared that the parties who had become trustees bad violated the original deed, that the whole affair would be undone, an immense amount of money expended in vain, and the town which it was intended to benefit very much injured. Mr. Cowen and a gentleman with him met a third person in the town, and this became the subject of conversation. The gentleman who was with Mr. Cowen said it was a pity that the deed was not destroyed, whereupon Mr. Cowen, without for one moment seriously intending what he said, remarked "it was a great pity it was nut burnt." Ile never thought more of the expression; he entirely forgot it; but a political opponent conveyed it to Mr. Steel, and led Mr. Steel to put an interpretation upon it that was not exactly correct. This is the real history of that affair. No one will suppose that Mr. Cowen seriously contemplated to destroy the deed, for in the first place he could not benefit himself a farthing by it. It was merely a mode of expressing his regret that anything should stand in the way of the interests of the city at large. With regard to other portions of the libel, I presume there will not be a moment's hesitation on the part of my Learned Friend in retracting all that has been said on that point in as far as anything has been said that trenches on the reputation of my client. There is another part o: the libel which I shall shortly refer to. It is that portion of it relating to the Maryport deed. Some time ago that topic was introduced into the paper by Mr. Steel, and Mr. Steel introduced an article the following week stating that it had been so introduced without his knowledge, and that he believed Mr. Cowen incapable of any such dishonourable conduct. What ever Mr. Steel has been led to think, I am sure there is no men in Carlisle who thinks more highly of him than Mr. Cowen, the plaintiff in this action. And it is a great pity that two men who, by their conjoined efforts, have it in their power to do so much good to this city, should be at so much variance with each other. They have both engaged in local politics—which, no man who re gards his own happiness but avoids—and in a moment of not justify. But whatever Mr. Cowen has said or written, he instructs me to sa y that he never in his life t p a r ti , o s n um o i n ug the honour that Mr. o in r te i n n d te e g d ri t t o i ca o s f t t 3l h i e r. sli s g t h , e te l. st t A m n p ( u i Steel deserves the high opinion that Mr. Cowen enter , tains of him, I am iure that after this he will guard himself with vigilance with respect to Mr. Cots en. Mr. KNOW ES then said—My Lord, and gentlemen of the jury, after the statement just made to you by my Learned Friend, I feel bound, and so does my client, to meet him in the same spirit in which he has met us. It does appear, from the explanation of my Learned Friend, th a t my client might mistake the meaning of those) particular words with reference to burning the deed. My Learned Friend has stated what the language was, and after that I cannotb hesitate o to say that it is likely n my client mistakethat meaning o f those wor d s. having m p amply did declared in no t a anything h r i e t ttheant the alg so a honourclient my meant part entir e ly w i t h draw any thing in that publication which may teem to Mr. Cowen to 'Ant upon his honour. A verdict was then taken for plaintiff. Damages 404 CHARGE OF ARSON. John Cook, aged 22, was placed at the bar on an in dictment charging him with wilfully setting fire to the farm-buildings of Mr. Thomas Hollingshettd, at Newton in this county. Mr. Davidson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. M•lntyre for the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence adductd that on the night of the 16th of April, about eight o'clock, the pri soner called attention to a fire issuing from the out buildings of the prosecutor, the result of which was the destruction of property of considerable value, including some cattle, corn, and the buildings. The evidence to fix the guilt of the prisoner was of a purely circumstan tial nature. A day or two before the fire he had guar. relied with the prosecutor, his master, after which he remarked to a fellow-servant that something would happen before long. This was the day before the fire, and a few minutes before it broke out the prisoner bor rowed a box of lucifer matches. He was then seen to come from the spot whence it first appeared, go into the house, and immediately direct attention to the fire. The other servants immediately attempted to put out the fire and' to get out the cattle, several of which were saved; and it was asserted that all would have been saved, but the prisoner walked about and refused to render the least assistance. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen , tenced to fifteen years' transportation. THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST LOLA MONTES. The following account of the proceedings in the divorce of this lady from her husband, Captain James, taken from the official document in the Consistory Court of London, dated on the Ist session of Trinity Term (to wit), Tuesday, the 31st of May, 1842, will be interesting to most readers : " (Before the Right Hon. S. LUSIIINGTON.) " JAMES v. JAMES. " The libel which sets forth the cause contains the articles instituted by the proctor of Thomas James, E q , against Eliza Rosa Anna, otherwise Eliza Rosanna, otherwise Eliza James, of the parish of St. Mary, Isling ton, in the county of Middlesex and diocese of London, &c., and in support of which the following evidence was adduced.— " The Rev. John James, whose depositions were taken, are as follow :—I am, and for the last ten years have been, vicar of the parish of Rathbigg n, in the county and diocese of Meath. lam brother of Lieutenant Thomas James, party in this case. He is belonging to the 21st Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, and is, as I believe, at present in India. On the 23.1 day of July, 1837, I solemniz ql a marriage between my said brother and a young lady (with whom I had been acquainted only a few days previously) of the name of Eliza Rosanna Gil bert. My brother at such time was I believe a bachelor, and I believe Miss Gilbert to have been a spinster (save a clandestine marriage which was reported to have been previously had between them, but of which I have no certain knowledge). The marriage which I then solem nized between them was had in virtue of a license under seal of the Consistorial Court of Meath. There were present at the said marriage, besides myself and the said parties, my wife, and my nephew, Mr. Young. I read the marriage service, and duly pronounced the said Thomas James and Eliz.s Rosanna Gilbert to be lawful husband and wife; an entry of such marriage was then made and signed by the said parties. My brother and his wife immediately after their marriage went to Dublin, whore they lived in lodgings in Westmoreland street, Dublin. I have reason to believe that in the autumn of the year 1838 my said brother and his wife proceeded to India. My brother has not been in England or in Europe since his departure in 1838. I received a letter from him about three months ago (the depositions being taken on the 24th of October, 1842). " Mr. Browne Roberts, on his oath, saith—l was formerly in the East India Company's service, and after retiring from it I remained several years in India. I was introduced by Colonel Watson to the plaintiff. He was then in the Bengal establishment. I subsequently returned to Europe, and while at Dublin I met Mr. and Mrs. James. Mr. James informed me that his wife was the step-daughter of Major Craigie. Mr. and Mrs. James went to India in 1838. On tho evening of the 22d of February, 1841, Major M'Mullen called on me, and said that he had been written to by Major Craigie to take charge of - Mrs. James on her arrival from India. I was then informed that Mrs. James had arrived, but that site had declined to avail herself of the hospitality of Major M`Mullen. I subsequently called at the Imperial Hotel, Covent-garden, -and saw Mrs. James at breakfast. I had a long conversation with her about the reports which had reached me, and endeavoured to induce her to place herself under my protection, but which she declined doing, and I never saw her afterwards. " Mrs. Elizabeth Walters, of the Imperial Hotel, sworn, saith—On the evening of Sunday, the 21st of February, 1841, a gentleman and lady arrived at the hotel in a hackney-coach, having with them a great deal of luggage; some of the portmanteaus had on them the name of Mr. T. Lennox, and others the name of Mrs. James. I inquired of the lady whether one or two bed rooms would be wanted, to which the gentleman an swered one bedroom, and the lady added, We want only one bedroom.' They were then shown into a sit ting-room which had a bedroom. The same gentleman and lady supped together. I cannot depose that I actu ally saw the said lady and gentleman undressed or in bed. They were only charged for one bed. On the following morning Mr. Lennox paid the bill and went away. I afterwards saw Major M'Mullen and delivered his message to Mrs. James; she replied that she should not go. She also told me on the same day that Mr. Lennox was gone to see his parents at Bognor. After admitting her name to be James, she said she was going to marry Mr. Lennox. Mr. James, after Mr. Browne Roberts had called on her, left, and went to Great Rider-street, and upon seeing her there, she said that she was expecting Mr. Lennox every minute. " Mr. Richard Walters, the husband of the last wit ness, after giving corroborative evidence, said, in ad dition, that Mrs. James informed him that she had come from India with a Mr. Lennox in the ship Lar kins, and that she was about to be divorced from her husband. "Mrs. Ann Martin, formerly of 7, Great Rider street, St. James's, on her oath, saitb, that Mrs. James occupied lodgings in my house for about a month. She desired my maid servant, in my hearing, not to admit any one up stairs to her except Capt. Lennox, and on the following day a gentleman who gave his name as Cap tain Lennox called, and was shown up stairs. He was in the daily habit of visiting Mrs. James. He frequently came as early as nine o'clock in the morning, but he did not remain later than midnight. I am not aware that Captain Lennox ever slept there. The rent was partly paid me by a cheque signed by Captain Lennox, and by Mrs. James. "Mrs. Sarah Watson—l am the sister of Lieutenant T. James. Mrs. James returned from India in the month of February, 1841. About two cr three months previously I received a letter from my brother, dated Calcutta, in which he informed me that his wife had met with a fall from her horse, and was otherwise so out of health that her return to Europe was necessary. My brother also informed me that he bad written to Mrs, Rae, in Edinburgh, to come to England to protect, to of l whatae being e h i n a g d e ft e of r h h e i in cr wife, a r m M e r d s areucnetivtoe, takeoatn James. ar A g occurred, I called, and saw Mrs. z 'James at Great Rider street, when I informed h er that I had been made a ware of her having passed a night at the Imperial Hotel with Mr. Lennox, besides other eircumstaeces which had oc. curred between her and him during the homeward voyage from India, and pointed out to her the unutter , able ruin that awaited her in persisting its such a course, LONDON; SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1849; NORTH WA LES CIRC WT.—Chester. Aug. 9, CROWN CO ITRT.—(l3efore Mr. Baron PLATT ) This morning William ; Thompson, aged 32, and :John Morgan, aged 1 7, were placed at the bar charged with forging a certain die made to resemble a one , shilling bill or note- stamp, contrary to the 55 George 111., c. 184, sec. 7, which wail provided, made, and used for the pur pose of expressing and denoting a stamp of that value, with intent to deh Saud her Majesty the Queen. Mr. Welsby aiir.! Mr. Jervis appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Ms In tyre, for the prisoners. It appeared from , . the evidence adduced that in the early part of May a discovery was made that forged stamps had been iisued, in consequence of which Mr. Jacobs, solicitor in the Stamp-office, and Mr. flalfhide, engraver of dies to the Stump-office, visited Liverpool. They there inspected the stock of stamps in the pos session of Mr. Metwdsley, stationer, Castle- street, and found amongst it three forged Bs. 6d. bill stamps, which were marked with sympathetic ink by Mr. Huh hide. The prisoner Morgan, was an ap prentice to Maudsley, and lived with his stepfather, the other prisoner, Thompson, at Tranmere, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey. There being some suspicion excited, a search-warrant was obtained, and the house in which the prisoners lived was searched. In the bedroom of Thompson, which was also used apparently as an en graver's workshop, was found an electrotype battery in full operation, on the pole of which was being deposited the die of a ss. stamp. In other parts of the room were found a die of a Is. bill stamp, formed by means of the electrotyping process; in a thin drawer, in a piece of mahogany formed so as to appear like the top of a chest of drawers, were. found twer,ty•five forged stamps, with the, printing forms used by Mr. Maudsley, and a copying press, in which was a piece of wood indicating the mode in which the impression of the forged dies had been made. There was also discovered a number of articles tending to show the guilt of the prisoners. Evidence was then tendered to show that the prisoner Morgan, in consequence of the confidence reposed in him, bad abundant opportunities of substituting the forged stamps into Mr. Maudsley's stack, and taking away from it either the value of which they purported to be in money or in genuine stamps. The stamps having been proved to be forgeries by Mr. Hunt, deputy supervisor in the stamp department, and the case on behalf of the Crown having closed, Mr. WINTYRE objected to the indictment on the ground that the section of the A . ct under which it was framed had not been fully complied witb. The section it s elf merely created certain duties, which were set forth in the schedule of the Act, and as this schedule was not recited in the indictment it was incomplete. The Learned JUDGE overruled the objection, being most clearly of opinion that it was unnecessary to recite indictment. Mr. schedule of the Act in the Mr. M'INTYBE then addressed the jury in behalf of the prisoners, contending that the prisoner Morgan was merely acting under the influence of his stcp-father, without any guilty knowledge of the forgery, and so far as both were concerned the evidence was not sufficient to bring home beyond doubt the charge of forgery. The Learned JUDGE summ e d u p t h e ev id ence, and the jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoners Guilty, but recommended Morgan to mercy. M . r. JERVIS said there were th ree ot h er i n di ctments against the prisoners, but, unless his Lordship wished, he did not think it necessary to proceed with them. His LORDSHIP thought it was not necessary, and. sen tenced Thompson to 15 years' transportation, and Mor gan to one year's imprisonment and hard labour. and endeavoured to persuade her to place herself under the care of Mrs. Rae. My intreaties were ineffectual, for she most positively declared, affirming with an oath, that she would never go to any friend of Major Creigic's. " Mrs. Ann E. Ingram—l am the wife of Charles Ingram, who was the commander of the Larkins. I was on board with him. I had no acquaintance with Mrs. James until she came on board the Larkins as a pas senger. She embarked at Calcutta the latter end of September, 1840, and was attended on board by her step-father and husband. Mr. Jam es rema i ne d on board will his wife after the ship got under weigh and until the vessel had proceeded some distance down the Ganges. It was then proposed that Mrs. James should be placed under the joint care of myself and husband; bat it being understood that a Mr. and Mrs. Sturges were also going passengers, who were friends of the family, she was placed under their care. The Larkins touched at Ma dras, and there received Lieutenant Lennox, of the Ma dras Cavalry, as a passenger. Within a few days after I observed that the conduct of Mrs. James towards him was very unguarded and flighty. Her general beha viour was what is commonly called flirting. This inti macy soon allowed him to visit her in her cabin, As she was not placed under our care we did not think ourselves entitled to expostulate with her. I have repeatedly seen Mr. Lennox and Mrs. James sitting on the sofa, his arm being round her waist. Upon being remonstrated with she replied that she was her own mistress. I found it necessary to discontinue associating with her, and to ex clude her visiting my cabin. " Mr. Charles Ingram gave corroborative evidence, and in arloition said—l have heard Mrs. James address Mr. Lcnnox as deer Lennox,' whom she used to receive alone in her cabin. He used to be there at very unwar rantable hours; tiny were Were together while the rest of the passengers were attending Divine service on deck. I have seen him with his arm round her waist while they were sitting far aft ou the poop late at night. I have more than once spoken to her; she answered in a very cool manner that she should do as she liked, and would not be under the control of anybody. I saw no more than violent flirting, which in a married woman I consi dered as very improper. Mrs. James and Mr. Lennox landed from the Larkins at Portsmouth on the 20th of February, 1841. Mr. James was not on board the vessel during her voyage from Madras. Caroline Marden, servant to Mrs. Ingram—l was on board the Larkins; I have more than once seen Mr. Lennox lace Mrs. James' stays. I have also seen him kiss her. I have also seen Mrs. James in the act of putting her stockings on while iSlr. Lennox was in her cabin. It was a general remark on board that they were too intimate. " Major M'Mullen, at great length, gave evidence as to the intimacy of himself and Mrs. James' step-father, and of his offers to protect her until she went to E !in burgh, but which offers she refused." The above is the material part of the evidence which Mr.Toker, the proctor, adduced in support of the libel ; the cause of the delay in instituting the proceedings arose from the great difficulty that existed in serving Mrs. James with the usual notice, and when served, and while the proceedings were going on, she was cited to appear. She was also called when the Learned Judge was called upon to give his judgment, but not putting in or making any answer, the libel was admitted, and the divorce, as prayed for granted in the usual terms. BAPTISM OF THE HON. AND REV B. W. NOEL. (From the Christian Times.) The Hon. and Rev. B. W. Noel was baptized on Thursday evening, in the Rev. Mr. Evans's Chapel, John-street, Bedford row. As might be expected, the chapel was crowded long before the ceremony com menced. After a hymn had been sung, the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Evans's co-pastor, read the latter part of the Bth chapter of the Acts, beginning at the 25th verse. Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Mr. Morris. Mr. Shepherd delivered an introductory address ; and another hymn having been sung, Mr. NOEL entered the pulpit, and said—Having been asked, my brethren, to address a few words to you on this occasion, I gladly avail myself of the opportunity of speaking a few words on this particular point—why a person who is unbaptized should be baptized, after having made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ in other ways, and perhaps for many years. I h a v e no t com e to the resoluti on what I beli eve t o b e Ch r i s t's command without having to obey fully weighed the grounds upon which that step is to be taken. Without having read anything whatever in favour of the exclusive right of believers to Christian baptism, I have read all the strongest arguments that I could meet with upon the other side. I believe I have weighed well every considerable argument that has ever been adduced in the maintenance of infant baptism as an aadditionto, and which evidently' becomes a substitution for the baptism of believers in Christian churches; and I have come distinctly to these two conclusions, whi c h appear to me, at least, to be certain. I will not speak of the convictions of others, but I speak of the conviction of my own mind, after very much examination. It:ap pears to me to be distinctly proved, fir first, that baptism, as ordained by Christ, is an immersion in water—a being buried in the water ; and : secondly, that im mersion is meant to be a profession of faith in Christ. If these two conclusions are correct—and I believe they will completely prevail with the Christian world eventually—then it follows that a person who, lik e myself, has only been sprinkled in infancy is unbap tized, because such a person has neither been im mersed, nor has he made a baptismal profession of faith, and these two things constitute Christian bap tism. So that, if these conclusions are correct, then I, and others, who have been only sprinkled in in fancy, are in neither sense baptized. Should we, then, after having. prcfessed our faith in Christ at the Lord's table, at many times, come to this, which is the initiatory rite of Christianity, and begin again a profession of faith in Him ? These are the reasons which have led me to conclude so for myself, and which have lid, I believe, some of my brethren and sisters, who are about to be baptized, to the same conclusion. In the first place, there is no instance in the New Testament of any perso n un b ap ti ze d, a ft er the institution of Christian baptism by our Lord, coming to the Lord's table; and, therefore, if we should continue to attend the L or d' s t a bl e w ith out being baptized, knowing that Pwdo-baptism is not the baptism appointed by Christ, we should be doing contrary to all the precedents of the N ew T es t ament . In the next place, Christ has required a baptismal profession of faith. It does not appear to me to be sufficient to say that we have confessed Christ in other ways. That may be true; but there is no reason why one confession of Ch r i s t, appo i nte d b y well b to others, " Re pent Him; and, there fore, Him, should be taken as the substitute o f ano th er confession, ore,asHe h ap as po s i a ri d ted to likewise by pent and be baptized for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost ;" "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ;" therefore, he requires from us a baptismal profession of faith, as well as a pro fession of faith in other ways. This has been so clearly seen by the Churches of Christ i n genera l , t h at it is not only those which are called "Baptist Churches," but all the churches, who refuse to admit to the Lord's Supper or into church membership any whom they consider to be unbaptized. If a man—for instance, one of the Society of Friends—has been a consistent Christian for years, has followed the Lord diligently and zealously, has done good by his pen and by his preaching, and is welcomed by all persons who re joice in seeing the work of the Spirit as a thorough Christian—it' that person should come to recognise that the sacraments are still obligatory, and that he should come to the table of the Lord, there is no church that would receive him unbaptized. Neither the Roman Catholic, nor the Anglican, nor the Pres byterian, nor the Independent Churches would re ceive such an one, unbaptized. And, therefore, the fact of his having made a profession of faith in other ways has not appeared to any of the Churches of Christ as a reason why an unbaptized person should not, at any point in his heavenward course, be bap tized when he comes to recognise his error. Our blessed Saviour has set us an example in this matter. At the age of thirty, when he was known by all who knew him to be devoted to God—when His whole life was a profession of devotedness, not in the least re quiring baptism as an expression either of repentance or of faith—when John was baptising converts, because the kingdom of heaven was at hand, summoning men to believe in Christ as the Saviour about to appear —then it was that Jesus, not certainly needing to be baptized unto faith in Himself, and needing no repentance, was yet at that age baptized, after long years of piety. This He did because . lie would honour the ordinance of God, not s: r e e m th e r d en to ar h needing it Himself, but with a view to the welfare of others and the honour of God. He was therefore bap tized.. The Hon. and Rev. Gentleman proceeded with haat pub lic his discourse to some length. On these grounds, it had o im und to to be be hi b s a d p u ti t z y ed n , o t t o t a o ck sh u r o i w nk led f g ro e m: he acknowledgment of Christ's authority, but with his has a right . to our subjection. - After. singing, and prayer over the pool, Mr. Noel, and thirteen others, six of them females, were baptized in the usual manner' by the Rev. Mr. Shepherd. .INTS TO GROUSE SHOOTERS.—" The flight of grouse is generally about half a mile. A grouse will drop suddenly, when out of sight of the shooter, on some hill side, perhaps forty or fifty yards flora the highest part. Nine times out of ten the grouse alights on a hill side slanting from the shooter, or, in other words, on that side of the hill, or ridge, or sloping ground, which is farthest from the shooter. It is useless to at tempt to range the whole of a moor—the sportsman's time will be much better occupied in traversing the same ground over again and again, assuming he knew how to choose his ground. When ranging a moor with which he is totally unacquainted, the best thing he can do is t o wa lk along the brow or side of a hill (for nearly all moors are e i ther mountainous, or broken uneven ground), k eep i ng about forty or fifty yards f rom th e summit of any r i s i ng groun d ; no t on l y b roo d s b ut s i ngle birth alight more frequentl in such a situation than in any other, especially after being disturbed. Much time is lost in ranging flats and extreme heights of hills and ridges. The side, under the wind, of these lesser hills, which on near ly a ll moors is i n t ersecte d b y rivulets, and which has a pretty good covering of young heather, is the very best line of range that can be recommended, care being taken to keep within fifty yards from where the declivity commences. By winding round the hills in this manner, the shooter does not fatigue himself near so much as by continually crossing the ravines and climbing directly up the hill."--From the Rod and the Gun by {Filson and Pakleigh.

The reported decline iu Mark•lane had a paralysing effect upon the trade here to-day; and although we must rate a decline of 2s or 3s per quarter, still a considerable quantity remains unsold. In beans, oats, barley, and peas the quantity on offer is small, yet fully equal to the demand, which is slack, at unaltered rates. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 10.—There was a fair attendance of town and country millers at our market this morning. Wheat and flour were both taken sparingly, and on the former a decline of about Id per bushel was submitted to. The inferior grades of flour were also 6d per barrel cheaper. Oats and oatmeal both very dull. Beans and peas remain as on Tuesday. Indian corn improved 6d pct. quarter, and was in large demand, and the lowest point seems to have been touched for the present. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 10.—The transactions since our last report continue on the same limited scale as of late, but prices are steady. The refined market is .luggish, particularly for stove-dried goods, and prices do not improve. Rum is quite neglected, and except for good parcels there is no inquiry for this article.—Bristol Mercury. EXETER, AuG. 10.—Cattle Market. —There was about an average supply of beasts, and a full one of sheep and l am p:. The demand was, however, exceedingly dull, more so than has been witnessed for many months. Fat beef must not ba quoted higher than 8s 9d per score for the best. Cows and calves were hardly looked at, but time few sold changed hands at prices rarging from 71. to 121. A pair of good fresh "meat)" ban eners were sold at about 5s per score, whilst rough ones were almost un saleable. A :Juan lot of poor Iri,l heifers were driven in—they might have been beught at 50s to 60s per head, but at that price met no purchasers. Butchers' calves, 4d to sid per lb. The demand for sheep was also very lull ; it was reported that good fat weathers were sold at 41d per lb, and the hest could have b4.4itt Leuglit at 64. Some ei'ai9 were sold at 414,1 per lb. rat labs 000 very plenliful, and sold at about 50 per lb. Store ditto 15s to 20s each. Pork Caresses—A very small supP.I.V; and that of inferior quality, which sold at 73 Gd to Btl 9d per scorn.

Corn Exchange—Although many of the farmers are busy harvesting, there has been no lack of samples , which have not been oflered freely, the rather unsettled weather this morning having produced some hesitation among th, growers, and checked the downward tendency of the market. The-re has been a very absurd story circu lating among the farmers, so absurd that it is hardly worth noticing, except to show the groundless fear under which they sometimes labour- It is that sundry Frenchmen have been in the neighbourhood of Tuttle* and Exeter , off-ring to supply the millers with whatever quantity of wheat they may r, quire, for the next twelvemonths, a 4e per bushel. Now French wheat is worth much more than that at present, and as the harvest does not appear to ht remit, kably good in France, it is altogether absurd to suppose that they can furnish a bushel of corn at that price. The farmers roust not forget that France is $ very heavily taxed country, and that the burden of taxa' ti,in their falls mainly on the land. But few millers have atier,cied, and the bthiness done has been of a trifling ocription. A few parcels of the best English wheat has sold et about Gs per bushel. Foreign wheat was On offer at from 43e to 443 per quarter. Nothing doing in barley. English oats, 2s 10d per bushel; fine flour, 3 2 $ to 35e p , r sack. BEISTOL, AUG. 9.—The transactions in all kinds of grain hove been so limited, owing to the heavy fall in prices at other markets, that quotations are completely nominal.

BIRMNGIIA3I, AUG. 9.—During the present week, our buyers have been paraly zed by the great full in Mark lane; tho few transactions reported in wheat are at a, de cline of about 2s p:r quarter. The retail sales of oats' barley, beans, and peas, were at previous rates. .At this day's market, the weather being fine, the prices of wheat were only nominal; the little which changed hands was at a reduction of 2s to 3s per quarter. Barley held for last week's prices. Oats in limited supply, and very few wanted. Beans maintained their value. less inquired for.

BEST DUGS F OR THE MOORS.—N 0 species Of sho ot ' ing requires the aid of good dogs more than grou se shouting, and in no sport do es so muc h annoyance,,il"; result from the use of bad ones. Th e b est dog, per for the moors, is a well-bred p o i n t er, not more than ;0 years old, which has been well tutored—young er years, but a veteran i n exper i ence. The et` is occasionally used with success, but we prefer the pointer. The latter h as unquest i onably the advantgs when the moors are dry, as it not un f requent l y h iP Pe that they are in August. If a setter cannot find wal e "," wherein to wet his feet ev er y h a lf hour, he will not , able to undergo much fatigue. Some sportsmen Will hunt a couple of mute spaniels for groose shooting in P u r , e ; ference to any other team o f d ogs. Of course, "'"'d this method is pursued, the birds are never pointed, an t the shooter must ever be on the look-out, for the P in is generally sprung very n ear t o th e gun. W e arc not quite sure that a sportsman can b e b etter dogge d for grouse shooting than with a couple of spaniels and old staunch pointer, unless he is a ve r y dil ator y shot, 0r startled when birds rise unexpectedly, and requires ev e 'lf, bird to be pointed. It is the pow e r t o b r i ng down good style bird after bird thus put up, that makes nP • parent the difference between the good shot an d th e , indifferent one. As long as birds are pointed under the dog's nose, the distinction is not so marked. Per' haps the best team of dogs for showing off sport on a fi ll : lay, would be the three high- cour age d pointers that rang " independently before the shooter in concentric soot; circles, the one within the ot h er —two of them sl2"/- be close•beaters, bitches, perhaps, might be preferred, and the third a high-ranger; the bitches should keep, near as may be, at the distance of ten and twenty and respectively of the gun, and the dog at thirty over.'' With such dogs very little game would be passed ove,r: —From the Rod and the Gun; by Wilson and Oakkig'd BANGOR, AUGUST 9.—A terrific thunder O l d lightning storm took place in this city between one 1113 two o'clock this morning, which has destroyed prope rty and life.
