SUMMER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, Sarr. 4. SANDFORD V. ruciwaisON. Sir. BLACKBURN opened the pleadings. oft was an action for debauching the.plaintiff's daughter. Mr. BROUGHAM said, this was one of those ei •treinely painful actions which were, from time o time, brought into Court for the most distress* injury and disgrace that a family can sustain, and fi e could wish it was not tili, to be tried before the terms he i l i v e h h ic a n d o it ffe m re u d st b to e, ha fr v o e m i t t he loo r k e e f d usa i l ntoel+ Where.. What gratification the defendant could find in making it necessary thus publicly to expose the shame of the family, he could not divine, but it greatly aggravated his misconduct. (Mr. Brougha l 'n here_ again offered a reference, which was declined. He resumed.) The plaintiff, was a clergyman of ti Church of England. He was the citrate of Crook, near'Kendal,and he had brought up a large famit ) . on a very moderate income ; and his danglitert- li ', the. daughters- of many • other poor clergYtatn the north of England, -went to . market every- - i •;; turday with the cheese and butter of their father, o' - the same manner as the daughter of a poor 'farmer ; but the n Plaintiff -was not therefore the, less. entitled to 'a compensation for the shame and . disgrace brought Upon his family by the defendant, who had die gracelessness to-come into - court and show him self to the jury, probably because he knew that his victim - must come for Ward and give evidence. It was,at Kendal market that the plaintiff's daughter ! became acquainted with the defendant; there their acquaintance began; it was continued at her father's house, he- became . her suitor; no objection was made, and that familiar intercourse followed which always attends courtship. The defendant availed himself of this intimacy, and became the father of a , 1 - child; after which he renewed his promises, and the I day for the wedding was fixed, but he did not ap.- pear.. i All this took place in 1822, and the action was shortly afterwards -brought, -but the defendant left the country, and it was impossible to bring the matter forwaid until his return. The young lady , had in the mean time married,: and become respect ', ably settled ; but he must inform the Jury that she gave birth to a child in a very few months after her marriage. That contamination of mind which, where ' marriage did not heal the sore, always followed the , loss of virtue, was owing to the defendant, the first seducer.. The seduction was, from the birth of the child, notorious, and it was also notorious that the plaintiff- had begun his action. The plaintiff has, 'therefore, after much •consideration continued it.— The Jury would have b e f ore th em his daughter, who would tell the piteous story of which he only gave the outlines, and they would .award such damages as they thought the plaintiff ought to receive. " Mrs. Isabella Hutchinson.--I am daughter of the plaintiff. He is' the curate of Crook. He has eight children besides me. I have always lived with my father until lately. I acted as servant. I used to go to market. My father has some land. I first met the defendant at- Kendal market, on the 29th of April, 1820, at the White Lion. I was then 20 ; he was then 25 or 26. After I had seen him three or four times, lie ettitle to my father's house to see me. He said his intentions were to marry' me. After that, he used to come for twO years-or more. I became pregnant, and was delivered On the 18th of June, 1822. I saw the defendant three months afterwards; he came to my father's house, and said he would still marry me. After that, I saw him-at the Fox. and.-Goose, at Kendal. He then said he would marry me. Nancy Proctor, the servant, was by. He asked me if I was going to father the child. I said, " yes, my father insisted on it." He said, if I did, he would make over all to his\ father, and I should get nothing ; but if I did not, he would marry me. The day was fixed. I prepared the clothes and the dinner. His property was 550/. .ss. nil He said he had that sum left him by a relation some years ago. His father has a good estate at Dillicar, about five miles from Kendal. 'He is not his father's eldest son. It was about two years since that his acquaintance and friends saw him. I continued to go to Kendal - market. Saw him in Kendal once, but never spoke to him. I was married a ye ar l ast May. The child has since been living with my father, who took tare of it. Cross-examined by Nr. WILLIAMS.—There was a dance at the White Lion, where I first m e t t h e de fendant.. My brother had come over from Kendal with me, but he did not go to the dance. I was at home between eight and nine. I saw him next at the Fox and Goose. I saw him afterwards on the race-ground. I got home then at'lo o'clock. I rode on his horse, and he walked. None of the family were up. He remained with me until about one o'clock. I did not tell my parents he had been there. He came again, about a month afterwards, at nine o'clock. My father and all the family were gone to-bed. He stopped late. He came again a fortnight afterwards, in the evening, when my fa ther was gone to bed. My brother was up. He went to bed and left us' together. After the fourth or fifth visit he saw my father; he came in the - evening and supped with us. My father went to bed. My mo ther asked him -what he wanted. He said he wanted to marry me; his intentions were good. The mis chief happened at my father's house, when the rest of the family were gone to bed. lam sure I don't know when it was,' I can read; I sometimes-read- the newspaper. I have read a little of trials of this kind ; I have not read many of them. I was not acquainted with any other young Man in particular. I was married a year last May. I have a child; it was born about twenty weeks after my marriage. I live with my: husband at Crook. , Ite-examined.—The dance at which I saw defert• dant was in the summer-tiine. I rode home oil horseback. .• . . By rustler of the Trustees, GEO. HARRIS, their Clerk. ' Rugby, Sept. 14, 1827. N. B. It is required by the Act of Parliament 17th Geo. 111. chap.

On the 10th instant, at half-past eight to the evening, died' Ugo . Foscolo, aged abOut 50, at hiSresidence in the neighbourhood of London,. whither he .had recently retired for the benefit of his health. During nearly two years previous to his deeease he. had laboured under an organic . affection, the symptoms of which were greatly_ aggravated by intense devotion to his literary pursuits. Before the disease reacbed its cli.riax, he bad suffered:from severe attacks of an inflam matory kind, which at length , extended. .to the liver, and a confirmed dropsy finally ensued. The operation of tapping was.twice performed at vary short intervals, but his strength was so far re duced, that it perhaps only hastened his dissolu tion. Everything which medical skill, and the solicitude of friends could devise was had recourse to in vain'. Nothing could avert the fatal event which deprived Italy of one of her most patriotic sons, and Europe of one of her brightest literary ornament!'2 The genius of . Foscolo was of a high order ; animated, rapid, and teeming with strong and original ideas. His surprising memory was a perfect storehouse of facts and images ; it ap peared to receive them with the ductility of wax, and to retain them as if they had been engraved upon solid marble. By .means of this faculty, directed with singular tact and judgment, he was enabled to become one of the most learned among modern scholars, and his acquisitions were at once solid and versatile. His natural disposition was warm and generous, his passions were strong, but directed chiefly to objects of laudable and noble enterprize : to liberty, to independence of mind and action, and to an enlarged sympathy with the best impulses of human nature and of the heart ; as regarded both nations and indivi duals. In accordance with these sentiments, , were the noble maxims which he avowed in the very teeth of despotic power, before the Congress at Lyons. Born in the Island of Zante, about the year 1777, Ugo Foscolo spent many of his early years among the lonian Islands, where he chiefly received his education, and in the city of Venice and its vicinity. Having early entered upon the military profession, gifted with equal powers of satire, and more knowledge of politics and of the world, Foscolo's appeared to be a character very opposite 'to that of any of his contemporaries. He found himself in the very midst of those stirring events, which attended the shock given to the old dynasties and petty governments of Italy. He was alio the last, if not the greatest, of Italy's modern writers connected with these re volutionary commotions ; his opinions upbn which, as a public writer, he had yet to declare. These soon became apparent :—the object to which he was ready to devote his life, was the constitutional freedom of his country—adapted according to the local genius and character of the different Italian states.—London Weekly Review. A party of four, persons dined together .on Thursday, at West Cowes; who were so related to each other, that there were actually .present— two husbands, one wife, two fathers,, one mother, two sons,.two daughters, two uncles, two aunts, two nieces, two nephews, two great uncles, one great aunt, two brothers, two sisters, four cousins, one maiden. YORK Housit.--The house in the Green I'ark built for the late lamented Duke of York is yet without an owner. The Marquis of Staf fordas we some time since, stated, agreed to purchase it from Goverr.ln ent :_. had, (the sellers be lievingt() be only no i • themselve s mortgag ees —at a stipulated sum ; but on reference to their legal advisers, it t t ppeared (says report) that their liability under certain engagements with his late Royal. Highness, was to a greater extent. They therefore found it necessary to explain to the noble Marquis that they had mistaken their po, laltion ; but that they were willing to open a ne gociation with his Lordship on a new basis ; namely, that of the purchase money covering the full amount of the claims on the property. T. this Lord Stafford is said not to have objected, provided the sum did not far exceed the price originally demanded, which, we believe, was 70,0001. If we are not misinformed, between fifty and sixty thousand pounds were advanced (on mortgage) by Government for the building —the remainder must, consequently, be due to tradesmen and other private individuals. A valuation is now being made ; and thus the matter stands at present.—Literar!/ Gazette. Nancy Proctor was present when Miss Sandford and the prisoner wefe together. Witness heard him frequently speak about marrying her, and heard him appoint the time; he did so several times. he appeared very much attached to her, and she to him, Mr. WILLIAsts, in mitigation of damagps, said the plaintiff was negligent in . pertnltting his daughter to be up after the. rest of the family were abed, and it was clear from the daughter's account, that she Was not SO Unshaken in principle as to render the father's loss deserving of large damages. Mr. Baron HULLOCK thought there was no impu tation on the father's conduct. The Jury retired for three quarters of an hour, and then fonnd a verdict for the plaintiff—Mot-. ges, 'lO/. . . , LADY.-- , -This tide is derived from an old cus toi of the wives of men of large fortune, who, at their mansions, used, weekly, with their own hands, to serve out :to the poor a certain quantity of bread, and were called lef. days, i. e. bread givers. —Literary gv(mf c i ft A MODEL.-4 lady meeting 1 .4 the street a gentleman who wo tightfully ugly, took him by the hand, and led Mm to tlie.shop of a statuary, to 'Whom she said, 4 just like this,' and departed.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVIINING, SEPTIgMBER 18, 1.827. --- • - - PROFESSO) WILSON. . , I have just returned froth :4 pleasure excursion through some of The finest counties in Scotland. The picturesque beauties of Dunkeld, the, m e lancholy grandeur of St. Andrew's,• the sweet solitude .of , " 'Fair Melrose," arid the princely doMains of PleUrs, have successively charmed my wanderm . eyes. ,Thus moving onwards, I one afternoon, last meek, lighted Upon the water ing place oflnverkeithitig, shout six miles from Peebles, 'fast rising into repute on account of thf efficacy of its mineral, springs. walked about-;--- admired the beauties of the spot—viewed the Noy ancient 'scat of Lord Traqiiair, said to be the original ofl3radwardint -House, and the very beau-ideal of what-is bidught before our eyes in the novel of Waverley. Thug having, as thought, discussed the lions' of the place, I retired to rest • pregkO nur-ue my course with-the rising' sir. eximorni7.ig Z .was awoke from slumber by, the sound of a bugle echoing and re-echoing from the deep recesses of the mountains ; I hurried on My apparel; eager to . ascertain .the meaning of this, here, unwonted sound. The scene that presented itself, and what followed, I shall not soon forget: The quiet village of Inverkeithing seemed altogether to have changed its character; all the jaunting cars, gigs, horses, &c., for a hundred miles round, ' seemed here congregated. One cart drew up at the inn where I had slept,• in it was deposited some of the substantials of life, hams, fowls, quantities of dressed game, wine, and a glorious cask filled with the elixir vitro of our barren Scottish hills ; nothing seemed wanting for the support of life in no short campaign. The singular appearance of one gentleman, who seemed to take the most active share in these preparations, attracted my notice. He was apparently above six feet in height, had on a long light. coloured morning-gown, a kind of glazed trowsers, without waistcoat or neckerchief, no stockings on his legs, his feet only protected by a pair of slippers with the heels turned down ward ; ruddy fair hair shone from under his hat; a manly face, with a ,fine glowing eye, filled up the picture. He mewed about in 'every direction, shook hands with one, bowed to another—had a kind word for all. I had yet to learn the object of all this stir, which turned out to be a pleasure excursion to St. Mary's Loch, a distance 'of about twelve miles, projected by the joyous spirit of Professor Wilson, (who had been residing in this village d►uing the vacation), and now about to be car ried into execution under his direction. I was further informed, that the Ettrick Shepherd' would join the party when they reached his abode, Mount Benger. Here, then, was no common temptation—the pleasure of meeting two of our great poets on their 'native heath, was not one that could be enjoyed every day. I therefore altered my route, and entered with all soul, into the delights of the expedition. .About eight o'clock the cavalcade moved for ward ; the stirring sound of the music once more animated us ; the performer, mounted on horse back, led the way. So numerous an assemblage for such a purpose had scarce before passed so near the Bush aboon Traquair,' which we soon left behind. The village of Traquair poured forth its denizens to look at this unwonted mul titude the shearer, as we passed, forgot his labours to stare at this gathering; but soon the disturbed solitude of nature, with the moor-fowl roused from its hiding-place, the hare from behind its bush, and the wild pigeon from its spot of rest, Were the only sounds foreign to our wandering party. • At length Mount Bengerap peared befbre us, and we stopped our course for a moment to give a hearty welcome to the worthy 4 Shepherd' and his wife. Hogg, is a man rather under than above the middle size—dreSsed in tartan trowsers, a plain short coat, and a plaid thrown over his shoulders ; a ruddy hard com plexion—not to say that l►e looks ill, but merely the appearance of having stood many a hard m ountam-breeze.

We once more moved forward, passed Athen Cottage, lately the Shepherd's abode, an d about twelve o'clock reached the spot on St. Mary's Loch, where our repast was to be served forth. While some were one to fish, others to see the ruins of St. Mary s chapel and burying ground, others to view the grave of a - celebrated outlaw, who, in :the time of King James the Fourth, had kept the forests of Yarrow and Ettrick in subjection to him,—the Professor, with another party, took the charge of unload ing our provision -cart, and laying out the con tents in fitting order. Thus was the time whiled away for an hour or two; until the sound of the roast beef of Old England summoned us to partake of what the mountain air had so well prepared us for. During the abs cn ee of the stragglers, the , Professor and his assistants had not been idle. • Oil a level spot, a little way up one of the braes,' they had pitched their camp ; a large circle had been formed by means of sacks, plaids, &c., a beauti ful ,snow-white cloth -graced the centre, upon which Was tastefully set forth every thing that, in such a spot, the most outrageoils epicure could desire.

PnicE 7D. COURT OF JUSTICIAItY,. GLASGOW, SEAT. 14. Alexander Lang was indicted for having stolen from the. Bank of Scotland's office, in Glasgow, be tween, the,6th of July, -1826, end the Ist of June, 1827, a sum of money amounting to IMO/. ster ling, in sovereigns, half sovereigns, guineas, and half .guineas of gold, crowns, half-crowns, shillings, and sixpences in silver. - The prisoner- was employed as a porter in the Bank, and was charged to have effected this theft by: breaking open the box in which the money Was deposited 4 . He pleaded " not guilty." Mr. John M'Cracken _was the first witness called On the part of the Crown. He is teller of the branch of the Bank of Scotland in Ayr. Was desired to make up as much money as could be spared. Made up 7001. of gold, and .500/.'of silver; the gold was wrapped in two pietes of strong paper, and the sil ver put into five bags, containing 1001. each ; the parcel and strings of thebag were scaled with the Bank seal. The 'hags and parcel were after wards put into a box, which` wag" fastened -with screw-nails, some of which were .scaled. The box was directed to " Robert Aitken, Esq.," agent of the Bank of Scotland in Glasgow; beneath this address was another to the treasurer of the Bank in Edinburgh. The box was to go off by the Tele graph for Glasgow. The witness was shown the box, and identified his own handwriting on it, and the-seals on the nails. Robert Aitken, Esq. ; is cashier or agent in Glasgow for the Bank of Scotland. Witness iden tified the box. It is directed to him. Received it on the 7th of July, 1826. The box was quite se cure when it reached him. It was very heavy ; a porter might have carried it, but with difficulty. The safe of the bank consists of two divisions, or apartments, denominated the inner and the outer safes. The box was put into the inner safe. Never missed the box from the safe, which he sees every day. • The porter has access to the outer safe when all the other clerks are absent from the bank ; but not to the inner safe where the box was. On the 28th of Jnne last, witness told the. teller to take out the box and count the contents, and place them to the credit of the bank, and discovered that the money was gone. Wrote to the bank in Edinburgh. A question as to the contents of the letter was ob jected to, on the principle.urged before. Knows the prisoner at the-bar. He was porter to the bank ; became so in February, 1821, and continued in it till the 29th of May last. Cross-examined.--Did not open the box to exa mine the contents when it came. to his possession. The box was in the bank from Jnly, when it arrived, till June in the following year—about 11 months. Had occasion to lift it in May last, and felt it very heavy. Lang had, not left the bank then. Sup posing the box concealed .in the outer safe, it is possible that it might riot be missed next morning by the clerks. By the CounT—The prisoner was dismissed from his situation. He got warning of two months. Had two interviews with Lang after the money was missed, at the'first of which he promised to exert his behalf if he would divulge what he knew of the money. Prisoner said he did not know where the money was. 6191. were found in prisoner's coal cellar, and brought to the Bank. Witness, in an interview with the prisoner after this, asked where the rest of the money. was.. The panel said he was sorry he had not told of the money found in the cel lar before ; and said he had hid the rest, about 4001., at the aide of Clyde, but feared it would be taken away. Witness searched for the money, but did not find it. The panel never acknowledged that he had taken the money from the box. Mr. J. Aitken heard of the money,being lost, and heard that the prisoner was in gaol; he saw him there on the Saturday after he was put in, and had two or three other interviews with him, • in all of.. which he denied knowing any thing . of the robbery. lie went from the gaol to the prisoner's house in Gor bals, along with his wife. She gave, him the key of the coal-cellar, and in one corner of it. he found a quantity of gold and silver money covered with coal dross; on finding this, he went for the other persons belonging to the bank. The money, amounting to 8191. was ultimately taken to the bank. He did not know what became of the key afterwards. He saw the prisoner in gaol next day. The prisoner said the rest of the money was hid about the side of Clyde, but could not now begot. The declaration of the prisoner was then read. He admitted that he had a few sovereigns in his pos session, which lie got on account of the bank, but gave them notes of his own in exchange. He-de clared that he never touched the box after it was put into the safe. In his second declaration he denied that he knew any thing of- the money found in the cellar. The Public Prosecutor restricted the libel, and left the case entirely to the Jury. Mr. COCKBURN also declined addressing them for the prisoner. Lord M'KENZIE having summed up the evidence, the Jury retired for a short time, and on their return, gave in the following verdict :—" The Jury find the panel Guilty, by a plurality of voices; but on ac count of his former good character, and the induce ments held out to him by the gentlemen represent ing the Bank, they unanimously recommend him to the lenity of the Court." The LORD JUSTICE CLERK did not think the re commendation of the Jury, on the ground of the in teference of the bank, well founded. Their inter ference was very improper; no person or persons had a right to interfere in the way they had dorie with the course of justice ; but the Jury should not have taken that interference into their consideratiOn at all. He had thought of proposing transportation for life, but on account of the previous good charac ter of the prisoner, he would propose that it should be limited, to 14 years. Lord M'KENZIE then addressed the prisoner on the heinous theft of which he had been guilty, an:d sentenced him to 14 years' transportation. The Court then broke up at a few minutes after five o'clock. Numerous base sovereigns are in circulation in the torn and county of Galway.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

OMER, FRIDAY, Szn. 14 Our seven days' review, or Military Festival, about which so much has been said in the French Ministerial Papers, concluded here yesterday. The King departed this morning for Dunkirk; but the whole affair, to the authorities, I should think, must have been rather disappointing : very little enthusiastically loyal feeling, and not much even of common curiosity, has been ex citedday (the first), I understand, were about 1 7 ,000; in St. Omer. :The troops reviewed on this five regiments of cavalry included, and some squadrons of artillery.

And the " attack of the fort," with the " sham engagement," which wound up the gala yesterday, was a very dull affair ; the whole number of spectators, I should think, not ex ceeding 5,000, with scarcely any equipages, and the people whck were present not very much struck with what was going on. In fact, all per formances of the " sham fight" kind turn out failures, except upon the stage. On the present oscasion it was universally agreed that both sides behaved with great gallantry ; but which were the conquerors we could not very well tell ; a battle, without charges' of bayonets, *ants the natural termination: The camp in which the troops lie has some curiosity, and is a ,inodel of that neat ness and proprete which distinguishes the quar ters of our French neighbours—when those quarters (always provided) do not happen to be taken up h the country of an enemy. The tents, even of the' common soldiers, are of a most dazzling whiteness; the piled muskets have neat canopies, with defending curtains, to protect them from the weather ; mod the quarters of every corps are . distinguished by sOtne altar or trophy, dedicated, to the Sovereign, " Charles Dix ;" with some emblem or inscription :x1 1 "-: 5- sive of the devotion of his subjects. The . 111 . - fantry. (reviewed) in' general had a spirited, soldier-like . appearance. The knapsacks they use are remarkably handsome, and well devised. They are of hide,Areasitimith the hair outward (like some of. qur old-fashioned trunks in Eng land) ; and extended within by-means of light wooden stretchers, ao as to stand out square, like a shallow dressing-case, or writing-desk, All the cavalry regiments were well mounted; the sth Regiment (which I saw between St. Omer and Calais) particularly so.. Their clothing, however, is not well chosen ; the bright green co lour of " the jaekat f aiter a wetting or two; loses its colour, and becomes a bad blue: and • the- scarlet trousers and shabracks look ill as soon as the first lustre ia off. Both i n the cavalry and infantrythe stan dard of the men is decidedly below that of our own troops ; and the appearance of the subaltern officenvis inferior. I saw the King in the field, and in tke - - town ; former: Intuition very closely, aad for some time. . He seemed in goOd personal health, and rode vigOrously ; his whole deportment and figure being manly and respect able ; but he seemed to feel—as it struck use, that the work going on was a little absurd ; in fact, every, public show, to be good; must be well taken, which do not think this was.* I saw the peasants ploughing in the fields at their leisure; while. the. musketry and artillery were roaring . upon the heights within a charter of a mile of them. In the town of St. Omer, and about the approaches to it, where the constituted authorities could.exert , themselves, of course ra ther more " demonstration"';was got up. There vaere.triumphal..arches, and some garlands here and there hung across the streets; and sonic per sells at the windows. The inn-keepers, too, ex erted themselves, to make the thing as lively as ,possible ; they must have gained money, (having all prices entirely in their own hands), from the influx of visitors. The King, during his whole stay, has behaved with marked courtesy to: all classes, and sent a dinner-invitation to the English officers in St. Omer, which of course was accepted, when all who attended were graciously received. His Majesty also attended a ball given at. the Hotel de Ville last night ; and constantly raises his hat where parties of ladies have been,:assembled.in the balconies, as he passes in the street. - Still the affair here is a failure; and - one is rather sur prised that the mere presence of ,the Sovereign should not excite a greater sensation. A few English officers have come over, but only two or three of rank. Mr. Harries was at Calais on Wednesday, but I don't think be came to St. Omer.. fromme (atifitaetr place. Two mleesttetro P. S. A most ridiculous incident has just oc- Two young Englishmen, cross i ng on T uesday, s c c u a r l r e e d d t a h t e C a b a lnavi ) n t co a from Dover, met with some wag at their inn there, who had just come from the French side, and were very anxious for advice as to which hotel in Calais it would be best for them to put up at. The rogue into whose hands they were delivered, discovering that they knew nothing of French, recommended them to. go to a small hotel—not generally known to travellers, but ex cellently good, and which any one on the quay at Calais would show them—the sign of the Petit Pot de Chambr e ! From pure ignorance, the victims, never perceived the meaning of the words, and actually, on landing at Calais (verq . ill, after a rough passage), answered to the inquiries of the com missionaires' who beset the pier —t o w hat hotel would Monsieur proceed ?" The Petit Pot de Chambre ;" producing, moreover, a card, upon which their merciless m entor had written for them the name of the house. This jest was near being serious , ; for the body of porters, eommissionaires, and so forth—on whom to make the matter worse, they , kept pressiil their inqui r i es f or the Petit Pot de Chamb re ,' fancied themselves wilfully insulted, and were within an ace o f throwing the customers of the new house ofentertainment into the sea.
