addition of the two Tellers, and the Chairman, barely constituted the number requisite for business : but when 'the doors were closed, the Speaker, who, when the House is in a Committee, sits as an ordinary Member, happened to be mome ntarily absent, and without the Right Honour able Gentleman the number was but 39. The Speaker's egres s from the House is by a private door, behind the Chair, which is not closed on these occasions ; and the Right Honourable Gentleman, who at first hesitated at re ttuaing to the division, was at length included in the number of dividing Members, notwithstanding the opposi tion of Sir Charles Forbes, Mr. Hume, and, we believe, other Members, who contended that the Speaker was not entitled, under. the circumstances, to divide. The effect of his exclusion would have been to put a stop to the bu sines.s of the night, and the bill must have been committed de novo.) After some further discussion the House resumed; and th e Report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. The o th er O r d ers of the Day were disposed of, and the 'louse adjourned at a quarter before 11 o'clock. .; lASI OF 10 (110 MAJORITY) TION FOR TAR REP] car. 9.)

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1827. t Th e French Papers of Tuesday, ' and the t°i ie of Wednesday morning, reached us last tight. The intelligence from the Peninsula is not ha- Port a S panish -•,,,, • Des er ti on cont i nues to i ncrease i n the Army on the Frontiers of Portugal. Son o f —ethe deserters proceed to Portugal, while Oth it is • ers, said, have gone into the interior of S pain, and there formed Bands in favour of the C onstitution. A letter from Madrid states that General SARSPIELD, in one of his recent des- Patches, announces that eighty men had de serted in a body into Portugal ; and the same lett er speak s of the army on the Frontier as not ; °lls i 3 ting of more than 8,000 effective men. i 8 now said to be finally decided that M. is to proceed as Ambassador to Rome, -11 vi that the Duke of SAN CARLOS will be P l aced at the bead of the present Cabinet. The discussions on the Budget still continue a ti le Cha m b er of Deputies. Th e purc h ase o f a Part of the Bourbon Palace for the use of the Cha mber was carried on a division of 204 to 69. l istressi ng accounts arc given of the damage ''ne il l the neighbourhood of Geneva and Lau ;4ll4e by a terrific storm which burst over the latter town on the 20th ult.

In addition to the intelligence whi c h we pub thshed yesterday from Lisbon, w e have collected enother column some further paragraphs from Portu g uese Papers, and some p privat e coM 414ications. t All the accounts from different parts of the shew that public feeling is still greatly ani ° tat e& The Spanish Authorities on the f ontier still evidently encourage the Rebels, and t ° h s ter a spirit of discontent by the presence of to ° Arm--, y which they hold out as being destined h l'ivade Portugal in aid of the Apostolical Art y. both ong— measures appear t o us t o b e necessa ry " for the punish ment o f t h ose who have jo i ne d the acts of rebelli on , an d f or the annihilation of th eir h opes of the faction who have so long kept (0 county ) in a state of disorder. The pre ,,`of th e E mperor , DON PEDRO, would, at sh i L ci i B ja, be the salvation of' Portu ga l, an d we "" 14 hail it as a icatunate event tv that King dom, and to Europe generally, if the EMPEROR, were to verify the reports which are in circulation in Lisbon, of entertaining an intention to return himself to Portugal, and send his brother, DON MIGUEL, to his South American possessions. Want of space prevents our giving even an abridged account of the Leeds Pitt Club Dinner, which took place on Monday the 27th ultimo. The Leeds Orators seem to have surpassed even their London brethren in length and violence of discourse. Their fury against Mr. CANNING is quite diverting. Of course they exhausted all the stale arguments against his coalition with the Whig party, and his desertion of those Orange principles which it seems now Mr. PIT T always en tertained. It is true he went out of Office because the Catholic Claims were not conceded, according to the expectation held out to the Irish Nation, with a view of effecting the Union ; but that proves little in the opinion of some persons, though we cannot for our part see how this fact can be got rid of, unless by charging Mr. PITT with duplicity. Even Orangemen will hardly venture to insultthat great man's memory, by so base an insinuation. But their rage is very impotent. With KING, Lords, and Commons on his side, Mr. CAN NING may laugh at all their abuse. The Allgemeinc Zeitung of the 25th of May contains the following Manifesto from the Greek Committee to the National Assembly. We have not space for comment : VIENNA, ILAY 20. The Austrian Observer contains the following Mani festo, which the Greek Committee of Government ad dressed on the '7th of April to the National Assembly. The Committee of Government to the third National Assembly of the Greeks.-.... The Committee of Government did not fail to make known at the very beginning, the crisis by which it was surrounded when it assumed the reins of Government, as well as the foundation on which it built its hopes for the salvation of the country. It also did net ne glect to declare its ardent wishes to be allowed to resign its authority, and urgently to desire that the Deputies might be summoned to continue the labours of the Third National Assembly. Its apprehensions arose as it declared from the real danger of the country after the fall of the glorious Missolonghi, from the moral impression of this great calamity on the minds of all the Greeks, and the impossibility of providing for the great expe►ces of the nation, considering the exhausted state of the Treasury. The hopes of the Committee were founded on the aid of Heaven, which has" never abandoned the Greeks, and on the support of the European friends of humanity and free dom, whose zeal became more conspicuous as the danger of the country increased, and on the firm resolution of the Greeks to attain freedom and political independence, which has remained unshaken and unchangeable from the beginning of the sacred contest. The Committee now that it sees its wishes (to be able to retire) fulfilled, congratulates the nation on the union of all the deputies, in one assembly, and considers it as its duty to call on the nation to join in thanks to Heaven for its evident support during so many severe trials. The most ardent thanks and eternal gratitude are due to the Europeans who have encouraged us by their ardently expressed wishes—assisted us by their noble and continual contributions,—and fed our armies. The nation owes a great debt of gratitude to the brave Men besieged in the Acropolis of Athens which they have defended for nine months, and to those distinguished warriors who, after the fall of Missolonghi performed wonderi of bravery, freed the continent of Greece, and then hastened to defend the sacred Acropolis. The Government is filled with the greatest joy at the unex pected change which, in the midst of so many embarrass ments, has taken place during the last eight months. - The Committee proceeds to speak of the advantages ob tained at Rachova, Selena, and Distoaio, of the landing of the expedition in the Pincus, and of the sending of another against Oropo, and also the appointment of a squadron to cruise on the coasts of &theca, &c. to intercept the supplies on their way to the enemy's camp. Karaiskaki is daily engaged in severe and successful actions under the walls of Athens, and a corps under ,Genaio Colotroni is advancing to relieve the Acropolis. Other measures for its relief are also in progress. The Commit. tee, however, earnestly represent to the Assembly, the absolute necessity of immediate and efficient measures to raise the siege. Lastly, the Committee congratulate the nation on the arrival of the illustrious Lord Cochrane, as well ae that of other distinguished men, who have devoted them selves to the cause of Greece. The Members of the Com mittee having thus performed their duty, returned into the bosom of the Assembly, as simple deputies, to deliberate with the other deputies, on the great interests of the nation, at the same tinie inviting the Assembly to proceed to the choice of other individuals for the Government of the nation who may be" worthy of its respect and esteem.

Lord 13*ey entertained a numerous party at dinner yesterday, at his residence in Great George-street. In the history of human nature, perhaps, no instance can be - recorded of so rapid an improve ment in the social state of a people as has taken place in Ireland since the elevation of Mr. Can ning to the Premiership. Trading loyalists and political agitators have been deterred or neu tralized by his triumph. Even the' Incendiary Press, in the metropolis and in the provinces, has declined in falsehoods, forgeries, calumnies, fe rocity, and rancor.—Dublin Patriot,- THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

India .Bonds and Exchequer Bills underwent an extraordinary rise yesterday after the depression which took place the day before, and both these species of property recovered to nearly the highest premium they have been quoted at. It seems that late in the afternoon of yesterday the Brokers generally employed by the Coutt of Chancery came into the market and swept off all the Bonds and Bills, and were prepared to take even a larger amount ; as it was they purchased 150,000!., but whether for the Accountant General or for other persons has not been ascertained. India Bonds are now 82, and Ex chequer Bills, 55 7 pm. Scarcely any business is doing in the Foreign Funds, Mexicanßonds being 68i 98; Co lombian, 31/ ; Danish Bonds are up to 611 ; Greek were done late yesterday at. 17, but could not support this price, and are now 16i 1. Shares are almost a dead letter, so much so that not more than four or five are quoted by the Brokers, and those at a tremendous discount; the ap petite for these once favourite speculations is quite gone by, and the public scarcely ever inquire about them ; the mar ket is completely neglected.

On being asked whether the prisoner had said any thing about a knife. The witness hesitated for some time, and then said that he did not recollect.. He was taking a glass of gin at Mr. Pugh's; and did not attend to it. Went to Mr. Pugh's for a coat and hat for the prisoner. He had 10e. of Mr. Pugh to put into his pocket until he could get work. He got a coat and Lat of Mr. P. Witness left him in Oxford-road. He said that he was going to Barnet. Prisoner said nothing more, but shook hands and bid each other good night. Did, not see him again till he saw him in Newgate. . Prisoner had been married about five weeks. His wife had had a child two or three months before they were married. Her name was Beadle before she was married. She had gone by that name pre vious to her marriage. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Had had no ac quaintance with her himself, but only knew that she had gene by that name, by report. Prisoner had been, up to that time, a dutiful son. He had been a humane, hard working, and well-conducted lad. n (On leaving the Court, this witness shook hands over the bar with his son, and both burst into tears. The prisoner, till this time, had been unmoved, but he now hid hieface in his handketchief, and sobbed like a child.) Robert Davis, the officer of Lambeth-street police—Went to the prisoner's room after Dalton, and gave the same description of it. He found a fustian coat on the floor, towards the back of the room, opposite the window. It had blood upon it. (It was here produced, and caused an universal shudder throughout the Court.) The blood was on both sleeves, and on the front, the sleeve was soaked, and other parts splashed; knew the prisoner before this happened ; had seen him often, and observed his dress ; had seen him wear such a cent as the one produced ; had seen the prisoner - two or three days before the 10th May ; could not say what-sort of coat he had then ; bad even him wear such a coat about- a week before. Witness had marked the coat, and locked it up in the Police Office, and it was the same; look ed at the child's head as it was on the table, and exa mined it; found a mark on it, a sort of dent, and a little bruise on the front of the scull. In consequence of instruc tions, witness went in pursuit of the prisoner, and found him at a farm-house called "the Lane House," in Radnor. shire, in Wales. It was on Thursday the 17th May. He was in the lower room of the house in the chimney corner. Had searched the same house at three o'clock on the morning of the same day; could not find him then, but found him at a little .before ten o'clock in the morning. When the prisoner saw witness, he said, " Oh, Davis, is that you will go away. with you." Wit ness took him to an inn in Penny pond ; took him to Radnor; while taking him there heard an old lady, who appeared to be the landlady of the house, say to the prisoner, " In God's name, how could you do such a cruel thing ?" Prisoner replied. "It was not God, it was the devil." When on the road from the farm house to Penny Bond, witness asked him how he came to be guilty of such a thing, and he did not give me any answer. Wit ness told him,. when be had . got out of the farm-house, that 'he . took him in custody on suipicion of murder. He eaid, "Very well, Mr.,Davis." That was before the landlady said anything to him. At Kingston; Herefordshire, witness saw the prisoner change his shirt ; .the shirt was bloody.; it was stained with blood on the left sleeve and on the, breast ; it seemed : to have been worn a long time ; did not, during the journey, make any threats or promises. Witness heard him say, " Oh, mji poor mother, when. she knows I'm taken, it will break her heart." Cross-examined by Mr. CLARICBOI4.—Is not the only person who keeps the key of the closet at this office. Re.examined.—Had put his name on the jacket when he locked it up. James Pugh lived at Carter's Yard, Carnaby-street. On the May the elder Sheen came to his house for ten shillings, a coat, and hat, which he took. The son came in about ten minutes after—then stood at the door, when the old man came in. The prisoner had the coat and hat. Witness lent the 10s. to the old man. Prisoner then came in with the coat and hat on which he had borrowed. Prisoner's father had said that the prisoner had been quarrelling with some Irishmen, and had stabbed one of them ; witness asked him what he had done with the knife which he had struck the Irishman with ; he gave it to witness, and told him to burn it, for God's sake. Wit ness threw the knife on the sink. The next morning witness gave the knife to Mr. Dickinson, the officer. Had known the father,. but had never seen the son before in her life, but could now swear that it was the' prisoner. W. Dickinson, a patrol, received the knife from the last witness, which he now produced. Every eye was now on the stretch to get a eight of this instrument, which was a common claip pocket knife, quite clean. Mr. CLARKWA requested permission of the Bench to ask Janet Pugh if there was any blood upon the knife, when given to her ? She replied that there was not ; it was in the same state as at present. ' Horace Smith, beadle, saw the head of the child. Op the back part of the head the skin was very much notched. Consider . ed that it had been cut off at the upper joint of the neck at the back of the head. Witness be lieved that the heUd could have been taken off by that knife. Crass-examined: by Mr. CLARKSON—Examined it on the Friday, and again on the Saturday _ _ Re-ezamined..—Theie was saw-dust on the head on th• Saturday. Sarah Pomeroy recalled.—Re-examined by Mr. Ban- Dratcx—Had heard the child called " William." John Sutton produced the baptism and register in which the child was baptised as William Charles Beadle. _ _ Mr. CLARKSON submitted that there was not evidence of identity offered to prove that the child mentioned in the in dictment, was the same which had been murdered. The name in the indictment was "Win. Sheen," when the register proved, that it was William Charles Beadle ;" conse quently, no identity was proved, as the register was evidence that it was Willam Charles Beadle. Mr. BRODERICK contended, that it was sufficient for the deceased to have gained a name by reputation, even if it were not proved according to the register. Mr. Justice flocaoyn, however, consulted hie brother Judges, and gave it as hie opinion that the objection was fatal to the present indictment. The prisoner must there fore be detained till another indictment could be formed. The Jury being asked by the Clerk of the Court to deliver a verdict of not guilty, the Foreman seemed in doubt and observed that if they were compelled to find a verdict of " Not Guilty," they must do so. But they would not do it on any other account than a point of law. The Learned Judge then explained that he was as sorry as themselves, that the indictment was not effectual.— It could, however, be remedied by a new indictment. which should be prepared directly. The prisoner would still be amenable, and would be,detained in custody. The twelve Judges would set any other verdict aside. The Burp then returned their verdict of " Not guilty of killing, as laid in the indictment." The prisoner was removed from the bar, exhibiting a stupid sort of surprise at the proceedings. The witnesses were then bound over to appear again, and a bill is to be presented to the Grand Jury imme diately. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCLIANGE.

OLD BAILEY.•• • -•(TMS DAY.) (Before Mr. Baron HuLLocx.) MURDER. Iplaigenia Morse, was indicted for the murder of Jeremiah Murphy, by poison, on the 15th day of April last. The prisoner appeared about 60 years old, of a very meagre appearance. She pleaded " Not Guilty," and ap peared quite unembarrassed. The Court was crowded in every part to exoess. The evidence of Samuel Miles, surgeon, of Spitalfields, went to prove, that although there was every appearance of poison, yet that he could not be quite certain of the fact. Mr. Baron Ilnixocx, in charging the Jury said, that it must be proved satisfactorily that the death was caused by the poison. The Jury, therefore, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. (Before Mr. Justice HoLuoyD.) MURDER. William Sheen, the murderer of his child, was put upon his trial. He appeared to be about twenty-five years of age, and his general appearance was rather simple than ferocious. His face was good-looking, and he appeared hardly con scions of his disgraceful situation. He was dressed in a decent brown coat. He pleaded Not Guilty, to the arraignment for murder ing his infant son, William Sheen, alias Beadle, on the 10th of May last., and advanced to the bar without betraying any symptom of acute feeling. Mr. CLARKSON appeared for the prisoner. Mr. ANnexws for the prosecution, stated that the prisoner was placed at that bar for a crime for which he (Mr. Andrews) could find no possible excuse or palliation. He was a young man, and had lately been married to a woman, the mother of the murdered child, with whom he had never had any disagreement. The Learned Counsel then stated the facts and' called the fol lowing witnesses. Joseph Corderay knew the prisoner, and saw him on the 10th of May last. Was in company with him on that day, it wall on a Thursday. Was at Mr. Collin's, the King of Prussia public house, in Whitechapel. Had been playing at skittles with the prisoner, who seemed in good-humour, He was the worse for liquor. He had been drinking beer with witness for three hours. Drank nothing bufporter. Had drank about six or seven pots between four of them. Stopped there with prisoner till about half•past five o'clock. His wife came and wished him to go. She was in good humour, and he went directly. Went along with them to their home, in a court in Lambeth-street, White chapel. Had never been there before. It was a small room up stairs, with a bed in it. When he got to his room, lie said that he had worked three days fur his father, and instead of the latter giving him 12s. for it ha had only given him Is. 6d. Prisoner then read a certificate of his marriage to witness. He appeared to witness to be in a very good humour. His wife was in the room all the time witness was there. Saw the baby in the prisoner's wife's arms alive and well. Did not see whether prisoner took any notice of the child while he (witness) was in the room. Stayed there about a quarter of an hour. Did not appear in ill-humour all_ the time witness was with him; did not appear to have the least ill feeling towards his wife ; was then dressed in a fustian jacket, and white hat; had not any blood stains upon any part of his dress ; had not been in any quarrel when witness was with him ; prisoner' , coat was in the shape of a shooting jacket ; did not•see any more of him that afternoon, after leaving prisoner and his wife in the room together at a quarter be- fore six. Sarah Pomeroy, examined by Mr. Bannualcx—ls land lady of a house in Christopher's-alley, Lambeth -street, where the prisoner and his wife had lodged for nearly two months. Was at home on Thursday the 10th of May. In the evening the mother of the child came to witness ; she said something which induced witness to go up stairs to the top room, which was occupied by the prisoner.— Soon as witness entered the door she saw a child's head on the table. It stood on the table, on the neck part ; it was completely separated from the body.—(Here this wit ness was much agitated.)—When witness saw the head, she ran to the Police Office for assistance. When .witnees left the room, there was no one there. The mother went up with witness. When she ran out of it, she ran into the Office, which is about three doors from the house, and gob the assistance of Mr. Dalton, the officer. He went up stairs, and witness folloWed him to the room where the child's head was. The child's head was then in the same position as before. Did not examine time head, but saw blood upon the table. The floor was covered with hlood. The body of the child was on the foot of the bed, covered with the counterpane. Mr. Dalton found it. Saw the neck of tlis child, which was covered with blood, and the head was off. It was dressed in a blue bed-gown i • knew L the chili when it w as living; it was living with Mrs. Sheen ; it was a male child, about four months old ; had no doubt that the body found under the counterpane was the body of the child; witness had known it alive; did not look at the head of the child so as to see any mark upon the head, which had no hair upon it ; did not see the prisoner that evening; he had lived with witness two months, and she had never heard any quarrel ling between the prisoner and his wife. Ebenerer Dalton, the officer of Lambeth -street, was called ou the above day by the last witness, and went with her to her house ; went to the prisoner's room, upon entering which he saw the child's head on the table ; he searched the room and found the body as described by the last wit ness, and a great quantity of blood on the floor as well as on the table; searched the room, but did not find any sharp instrument with which the head had been cut off; had net beard any disturbance during the day ; there was no complaint made at the office. Win. Sheen, the father of the prisoner, was then called —he appeared in tears, as he had at the beginning of the trial, and hid his face with a handkerchief. He stated, that he lived in White's Yard, near Rosemary Lane, near the London Docks. The prisoner came to his house on a Thursday, at about eight o'clock in the evening—believed it was about the beginning of the month. Thinks it was on the second Thursday in the month. He was then in his shirt sleeves. He had not got his bat on. Witness asked him if he had been fighting, lro answered " yes."

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Mr. Tturst,orz, Mr. RosE, and Mr. BICKERSTRTH, having been appointed King's Counsel, took their Nara ac cordingly within the Bar.. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Several causes were tried this morning, but none of the slightest interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. CRIM. CON. WALTER U. SAUNDERS. Mr. WHITCOI/13 opened the pleadings..--This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, for a criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated the plaintiff's case; his Learned Friend bad already stated to the Jury the nature of the action. The plaintiff was a person in very humble circumstances, by trade a journeyman hatter. He was brought up in the country, where he became acquainted with the subject of the present action, to whom he was married in 1819, at Stowmarket in Suffolk.— The marriage took place with the consent of the families at both sides, and in the presence of Mr. Kent, Mrs. Walters father, and the parties commenced life with every prospect of domestic happiness. Soon after his marriage the plaintiff commenced business as a hatter in the coun try, but he afterwards came up to town, and entered into the service of a Mr. Middleton. Upon coming to town he took lodgings in St. John-street-road, and a respectable lady, named Rawlins, introduced the defendant, who was a surgeon, and he was soon after employed by the plaintiff in his professional character. Mr. Rawlins was a married man, and the father of a family, and it. could not be matter of surprise that the plaintiff should not have har boured the remotest suspicion that he was that deep, designing, intriguing character, which he afterwards proved himself to be. About Michaelmas 1825, the plain tiff removed to Panton-street, Haymarket, where the de fendant still continued to attend as surgeon, and in June in the same year, taking advantage of the temporary absence of her husband on business,'Mrs. Walter eloped with thede fondant. For some time her husband could learn no traces of her, but at length she was discovered lodging at Bromp ton, and passing as the wife of the defendant, who had as sumed the name of Harwood. Witnesses would he pro duced who would prove that the plaintiff and his wife en joyed great domestic happiness until their acquaintance with the defendant. It was true the plaintiff was in humble circumstances, but no man suffered so much from the loss of domestic happiness its a poor man, for what had he that was so valuable as the tender assiduities of an af fectionate wife. In conclusion, he called upon the Jury to give full compensation to the plaintiff, for an injury which had been properly characterised as the greatest one man could inflict on another. _ . _ John Kent examined, and said the plaintiff's wife is my daughtir. I was present at their marriage; it was cele brated at a village near Stowmarket, on the Bth July, 1819. The plaintiff carried on business as a hatter at Ely, and subsequently removed to London, where he conducted business for Mr. Middleton. I was frequently in the habit of seeing the parties after their marriage. They appeared to be living very happily. My daughter always spoke of her husband with the greatest respect and affection. The plaintiff came on a visit to my house about last Whitsun tide. His wife soon after followed. I then observed a differ ence in their behaviour towards each other. They did not appear to enjoy as much domestic happiness as they had previously dent, and I told my daughter that I feared she had bad advisers ; my daughter's name is Susan. Mrs. Rawlins said--I lived in John-street-road, in 1825. The plaintiff and his wife lodged with me and my son ; they appeared to live on terms of great affection ; I believe it was at my house the plaintiff first met the defendant Mr. Saunders ; the defendant is a surgeon and a married man with a family; the plaintiff has no family. Mr. Middleton—l am a hatter ; the plaintiff came into my service in 1822. He managed my business ; I fre quently had an opporttusity of seeing him and his wife, and they appeared to live very happily together. John Deacon—l live in Panton-street, Haymarket ; the plaintiff and his wife came to lodge in my house; Mrs. Walter left my house in the absence of her husband ; she returned frequently afterwards to take away some things which were left; I subsequently saw her at the house of Mr. Arnold, in Brompton ; she was living under the pro tection of Mr. Saunders ; they passed under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Harwood. Whilst the plaintiff and his wife were lodging at my house Mr. Saunders attenied Mrs. Walter in his professional equity. Mr. John Arnold—l live at Michael-place, Brompton. Mrs. Walter took my lodgings, she said for herself and husband. Mrs. Walter took the lodgings under the name of Harwood. Mr. Saunders passed for Mrs. Walter's husband, and they occupied the same room. Wm. Magness--I live at Pimlico. I know Mr. Saun ders. He lived at the corner of Duke-street, St. James's, and kept a surgan's shop. He took lodgings at my house, as Mr. Harwood. Mrs. Walter lived with him. They lived as man and wife. Aaron Blackman was produced to prove the hand-writing of the defendant Saunders ; and a copy of verses, written by him, were put in, which proved to be Moore's well known song, commencing—" Fly from the world, oh Bessy, to me," the defendant having substituted Susan, which is Mrs. Walter's name, instead of the name chosen by the Irish Anacreon. The cue having closed, Chief Justice Brix addressed the Jury. The evidence left no rational doubt that there had been a criminal connection between the plaintiff's wife and the defendant. The Jury were to consider, however, that they did not sit there to popish the defendant, but to make amends to the plaintiff, for the injury he sustained. The defendant being a surgeon, was certainly an aggravation ; for medical men were received into families upon different terms from other male visitors, and if a medical man availed him self of those facilities to debauch a female, he was guilty of a most scandalows breach of trust.

This great race, on which so much speculation has been made, so many different opinions formed of the merits of the horses, and such consequent variations in the betting (the ebbings and flowings of which have been unprecedented) has at length come off, to the surprise of some, thesannoy ance of many, and the delight of a select few : but this is the natural consequence of all great events. The inducement yesterday was all attractive, and the muster on the downs, if it did not exceed former years, was at least as numerous as the last, and displayed the same heterogenesus congregation which its proximity to the metropolis naturally engenders. As the hour drew - near which was to set at rest the hopes and fears of the assembled multitude, and at the same time decide the fate of a million or two of money, an approach to the lines of the course was observable in every part of the downs, and some time before the start, so completely was that part of it which leads from Totten ham-corner to the Judges Stand covered, that it became an Herculean task to clear a sufficient space for the horses to pass throngh as they came in ; nothiag but the most: strenuous exertions on the part of the constabulary force, assisted by the Clerk of the Course, could have succeeded in attaining this object. At the starting-post the scene was equally animated, but of a different character : a fe verish anxiety was manifested by every individual of the throng—not a moment was lost—bets were offered and snapped up, to the amount of thousands, every minute— in short, till within a minute of starting, the betting-ring was the scene of unexampled noise and confusion. At length, when the horses were saddled, the jockies mounted, and every thing ready for the race, the hubbub subsided ; and when the word " Off" was given, the lowest whisper might have been heard. At a little after two o'clock the great rate came off as follows : The Derby Stakes of 50 caw. each. h. ft ; for three-yr old colt., Sst. lib. ; fillies, Bet. 21b. The last mile and a half. The owner of the second horse to receive 100 soya. out of the stakes. Lord Jersey's Mameluke, by Partisan Lord Jersey's Glenartney, by Phantom—Web The Judge only placed these two, but the following nine teen horses also started : Lord Cavendish's Espagnolle colt Sir C.

After three false starts they got off, Bachelor being a trifle in front, with Mameluke, Glenartney, Edmund, Windermere, Gaberlunzie, Espagnolle, and another or two dose at him, and nearly abreast. They went at a tremendous pace to the rubbing-house, and, at the top of the hill, Mameluke was first landed, Glenartney and Edmund looking pretty well. Glenartney then came out, and passed Mameluke, and continued in front, at diminished pace, round the corner, and till within half a distance of ending, when Edmund made a push at him, but failed immediately, and gave way to Mameluke, who in a few strides got up to Glenartney, and between these two a short struggle ensued, but all in favour of Mameluke, who got the lead, kept it in good style, and won very easy by two lengths. Win dermere, notwithstanding the prime jockeyship of Sam Chiffney, was one of the first that was beat ; the Duke of Grafton's two, Spondee, and several others, were also beat early ; in fact, at the top of the hill, the only horses who had any thing to do with the race, were Mameluke, Glenartney, and Edmund ; and from that point to Totten ham Corner it was a complete tail-race. Gaberlunzie and Espagnolle ran in next to Edmund. It is proper to state, that positive orders were given to Lord Jersey's jockeys not to consider each other, bat each to do his best to win ; and we believe that similar orders were given to the Duke of Grafton's riders. The value of the stakes to Lord Jersey will be two thousand seven hundred pounds. A Plate of 50/. given by the County Members. Heats Two Miles. Mr. Gully's ch. h. Truth, 4 yrs, won first heat.

The weather was beautiful, but the dust was intolerably annoying, the nuisance being heightened by the wind, which was very high. There were the usual stoppages in the road home, with few accidents worth notice. There was some betting on the Oaks, but too indefinite to quote. BEVERLEY RACES. W. Hotham, Esq., and T. D.
