I was then nineteen years of age, and knew nothing of the world, having devoted my time to study. My parents died, and I was left in Paris . with a large fortune, but without any experience of the world. The consequence was that I got into high circles and indulged in dissipation. I got a cquainted with gamblers, and in six months lost 50,000/. The Prince Polignac was a friend of mine, we bad known each other from our infancy. In the reign of Napoleon, the Prince was in prison, and I often . endeavoured to soothe his hours. He was in the dungeon of Vincennes, and my visits at tracted the attention of the Police, and as my family were obnoxious to the government, I was arrested on suspicion, and afterwards detained on account of my debts.. The witness then entered into a long de scription of the manner in which he became acquainted with bill-brokers and mock-bankers, by which a slur was thrown on his character, but he declared, that though an imprudent and unfortunate man, he always I sustained the character of a gentleman tind'a man of honour. He added, that De Lisle was the title of his family, and that it was usual for persons of noble family in France to take the titles of Count and Vis count, and that if he had ever relinquished the title, it was because his, fortune was not sufficient to sup port an establishment suited to his rank. A person'named Duncan stated that he had some .discount transactions with the plaintiff, and that Coates acted as Meego's confidential friend. Mr. Meego himself was present, so that he could not call Coates his agent. The evidence for the defence having closed, Coates was celled by the plaintiff to rebut the evidence of De Lisle. He stated that he keeps a linen-draper's shop in St. Martin's-lane, and that he introduced. De Lisle to Meego ' who discounted the bills at the regular discount. De Lisle gave witness 100!. for his trouble, but no part of that money went into the pocket of Mr. Meego, nor was Meego aware that witness received it. The 1001. was solely for witness's benefit, and Mr. Meego bad no participa- tion in it. Cross-examined- - I have stopped payment, but subsequently paid my creditors. I was not the agent of the plaintiff, nor of any ma n, except of a gentleman •in Westmoreland. I know a Mr. Hodson, he is my solicitor. I never employed him to bring , actions on bills discounted by me. Meego. It was I who introduced the plaintiff to De Lisle. I got from 1001. to for the intro duction. De Lisle called on me, and offered me money to perjure m yself. He offered me all the mo ney in his purse ; but I don't know how much it was. Mr. Walker, of America-square; Mr. Sims, coachmaker, of Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-square; Mr. St. John, an auctioneer; and Mr. V. Francis, of Camden Town, were severally examined, and swore that they had various transactions with De Lisle, and would not believe him on his oath Counter evidence was produced to impeach the testimony of the witness Coates, and a person who had known him for 20 years swore he would not believe him on his oath. The ATTORNEY • GENERAL and Mr. GURNEY having seve rally spoken to evidence.— The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. LAWLII V. BALFOUS. This was an action brought 'for the recovery of the sum of 91. 9s. for stationery, supplied by the plaintiff to the defendant. Of this sum the de fendant had paid 21., but refused to pay the re mainder, on the ground that the credit had been given to his clerk without his knowledge, and of course without his authority. The clerk, it was alleged, had been always supplied with money to pay for such things, and had • been dismissed for misconduct. One witness was- examined , on each side, after which the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—: Damages 71. 95., being-the full athount of his claim. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The tragedy, in consequence, passed ff rather heavily, and was succeeded by the Opera of " Rob Roy," in which Miss Grant appeared as Diana Vernon. Sbe sang with considerable taste, and was much and loudly applauded. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Madame Sala—a vocalist well known in . public concerts, and still more at private musical parties— made her first appearance last night, at this theatre, as Countess Almaviva, in "The Marriage of Figaro." In person this lady is not very unlike Mr. C. Kemble, and possesses an easy graCeful assurance, that speaks a finished acquaintance with her art. She is an acknowledged pupil of Velluti, we understand, and certainly does credit to his school, as her taste is unquestionable, her voice soft and well-modulated, with an unusual compass. She was very favourably received by a respectable and well-attended house. We have heard that a wish has originated in a high quarter to show respect to the memory of the late , Prime Minister, by conferring a peerage on his widow ii the proposition has been modestly declined by the lady, but still, we believe, hangs in -doubt.— Times. . We are informed that it is the intention of several spirited gentlemen of this town, to erect in an eligi ble situation, a building for the purpose of being used as a Circus, and which may be employed for the exhibition of Panoramas, Dioramas, and other similar representations.

Soon after, to his great surprise, he saw one of the pigs sucking the tow, and they became so familiar, that when the cow lay down, the pig would lie down in close contact with the sow; and on moving the pig into another situation, to prevent the intercourse, the cow be came restless, and was some time before she was recon ' ciled to the sepacation.Nottinfikant Paper. A respeCtable female, living at Grimley, was a few days since so dreadfully gored and otherwise injured .by a young heifer, which attacked her in a meadow on her way home, that she now lies in a state of extreme danger.

The Minutes of last meeting having been read and con firmed, and the usual routine business disposed of, a consi derable number of highly respectable individuals were bal loted for and admitted as Members. Mr. FROST, the Society's Professor of Botany, then di rected the attention' of the meeting to a number of valuable and interesting donatiout made to the society by several scientific gentlemen, animadverting on each with his usual ability ; amongst the donations was a collection of drawings of Cape, and another of East India, plants, the latter pre sented by Mr. Colebrook, a gentleman well known for his literary as. well as botanical knowledge, cones silted of nearly 600 exquisite drawings of exotic and other pleats, many of which had hitherto been butrlittle, if at all known in England. Mr. Frost next - gale an interesting account of the Cow_ Tree ( Gdiacto ternlron utik) of Caraccas, the juice of which is a sueceda nerrin- for milk to the inhabitants of that part of the world, and no bad sucedaneuui neither, the 'milk having, said Mr. F., the-taste-of-sweet cream, and even after a long voyage it tasted by no means unpalatable. A coupled of poisoned arrows from the quiver of a Bosh man chief, with a specimen of the poison plant, were next adverted to, and introduced an excellent Lecture on the na- 1 ture and qualities of vegetable poisons, by Mr. Sigmond, , Profeisor of Zexieelogy to the Society.. The Lecturer stated that, as in the case of Opium, vegetable poisons pos sessed two powers—the morphine, or sedative power, and the narcotine, or exciting power ; and that ,in the instances of its being administered to persons in a state of idiotcy, or to lunatics, even in large quantities, little or,no effect was produced, whilst on those endowed with reason it had, as every one knew, the moat baneful results.—(Applause.) Mr. FROST again addressed the meeting, and begged to read a letter Le had received from the Earl of Stanhope ; the letter stated, with how much pleasure the Noble Earl should become a member of the Society, " many of those weeds," said the Noble writer, "which we consider noxious, were no doubt intended by an All-wise Providence for the 'good of mankind, and it was only by the efforts of such an association as the Medico-Botanical Society of London that their ends could be ascertained."—(Much applause.)— Mr. F. continued, he had had he said an interview with Lord William Cavendish Bentinck, who had promised to promote the views of the Society in India ; Prince Ester hazy had also notified his intention of becoming a member. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the Meeting on the rising respectability of the Society, but not so much on,the rank of its new members, as on the advantage the Society would reap from their scientific attainments ; Lord Bentinck, he the Chairman, had known for a long time, and lie was sure the Society would find in bis Lordship a warm friend. Her Ladyship, too, was much devoted to the science of botany, and no doubt would be an excellent coadjutor with his Lordship. The Chair man concluded by stating, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland had promised his exertions in aid of the Society in the Hanoverian dominions; a similar promise was received from Davies Gilbert, Esq . ., the new President of the Society of Arts. Mr. FROST, as the Medico-Botanical Professor, in con clusion, directed the attention of the Members to a case of " secondary symptoms," which he had treated very success fully by administrating a cold infusion of sarsaparilla, in stead of the hot, which was in common use by medical gen tlemen. Thanks being voted to the various donors to the Society, the Meeting broke up. Some rare and exceedingly beauti ful plants and flowers were exhibited in the room, amongst these was a branch of the Dombeya excelsa, or Norfolk 7sland pine, and Strelizia reyina.

D READFUL EXPLOSION.--This morning, about eleven o'clock, the inhabitants of Lambeth-walk and its vicinity were thrown into a state of considerable alarm, by a tremendous es:plosion, which shook every house in that and the adjoining streets : immediately after, a dense volume of smoke rolled along over the whole neigh bourhood, and for a few moments rendered even the largest and nearest objects invisible. It was soon ascertained that the explosion bad proceeded from premises used as a fire work manufactory by Mr. Sotrrnav—one of the artists in that department, belonging to Vauxhall-gardens. The effect of the shock on the premises where it originated was most destructive. ' The. bricks and tiles of the walls and roof were blown to atoms, and scattered about the neighbourhood, the only vestige remaining being apart of the woodwork,which was on fire, and continued to burn until the whole was con sumed. A workman and some boys were in the manu— factory when the fire began. The boys escaped untouched, and the man had his hair singed and ene side of his face slightly scorched, but was not otherwise injured. The house was fortunately a little detached from other buildings, otherwise the consequences might have been dreadful in such, a crowded neighbourhood. Some of the circum stances attending' the explosion, were rather ludicrous in their effects. Two or three women who were standing ' together a short distance from the pren.,ses, were all at once thrown on their knees, in which position they re mained for some time after the nature of the ex plosion was known, imagining as they said, that the end of the world had arrived. Several other per sons in the vicinity were thrown to the ground by the violent concussion, but as far as we could.learn they were, all more frightened than hurt. The shock was felt throughout the whole of Kennington, and as far down as Weitmizater-bridge , We 01114 not learn, how it originated. TR A.DE OF LONDON. Annexed is a rough calculation of the present state-of trade in this port, which has been supplied by a commercial friend of the Times, in order to elucidate, in some measure, the causes which have brought about the late continued decline in the foreign exchanges : EXPORTS OF THE PRINCIPAL ARTICLES OF TRADE IN THE FIRST WERE IN DECEMBER, 1827, TO THE.CONTINENT cENERAILy:-- Coffee 2,980 cwt., at 21. .C 5,960 Sugar, raw —, refined '... 6,484 —45 R 14,589 Cottons 651,775 lb. 4d 1 0? 529 Indigo Manufactured goods, valued at 20,000 £80,946 IM2ORTS IN THE SAME PERIOD.

A meeting of the Members of the Club took place in the parlour of the show-yard; Lord ALT!IORP in the Chair. The room wase quite full, and our re porter noticed a larger proportion than usual of ex perienced. and practical breeders, &c. to support their worthy Chairman..

Dodd's. stock, and fed by Mr. 0. on grains, water, and damaged flour, and about five quarters and two bushels barley meal mixed with milk. , In Class I. Mr. Booth's Prize Ox, we wish to correct that he was bred by Miss Southall, of Tor rington, Herefordshire, instead of Berkshire. Also Mr. Ridhard Kitelee's, in Class IV.—the Ox was bred by Henry Unitt, Esq., Marden, in stead of Henry Wiatt, Esq. of Marde. There was a good display of ingenious agricul tural implements exhibited by various person, and a great variety of seeds and roots, by Messrs. Gibbs, Cormack, Sinclair, &c. _ We noticed also a breeding sow, exhibited as extra stock, by Mr. Alderman Venables, which was bred by" Mr. Dodd. , 4 4n eminent cattle painter attended, and was bu sty engaged in painting the portrait of one of the ~exen,. arid wejeasn that ha has orders for several more; tieing such surprising animals, their owners are anxious to have their many perfections recorded, previous to being slaughtered.

FEROCIOUS ASSAULT.—An elderly man, of rather a half idiot tatterdemalion appearance, was charged with striking a young girl upon the head with a whisky measure, by which it was lacerated .in a most frightful manner. The poor girl, who was scarcely able to stand, met the prison ,, r the previous evening, between WAlpine street and Brown -street, when she asked him for a gill of whisky. He acceded to her request, and they entered a spirit cellar with the view of procuring it; when it ap peared that, while together in the room, the girl, upoi: resisting some indecent liberties he endeavoured to take with her, was struck by the savage sevetal times over the head with the gill measure. Her cries of "murder" brought the landlord into the room, where he found her leaning upon a bench, her head streaming with blood, and the brutal wretch standing over her in readiness to strike another blow. The Magistrate observed, that very seldom had an individual, charged with such an act of barbarity, been brought before that Court, and he would therefore ordain him either to pay a fine of 51. or be 'committed to Bridewell for 60 daye,,,talasioto Era Press, COMPOUNDING A FELONY. A COUNSECLGR'S DAG STOLEN COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—Justices BAYLEY, HOLROYD, and LITTLEDALE, sat yesterday in-the Bail Court to hear arguments upon points of law reselwed upon trials at Nisi Prim'. The case of the ship IVestiz/y, in which Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. F. Pot.Loca were opposed to each other, was the first called on. When Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE had read the Judge's notes of the trial, _ _ _ Mr..I3ROUGHAN_ observed, that je must throw himself upon the indulgence of the Court not to pro ceed with this case, as he had not got his papers .with him, and there were many points in which his impression of the trial differed from that given by the Learned Judge. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.—YOU will soon have your papers, I suppose, Mr. Brougham. Mr. BROUGHAM—I am afraid not, my Lord ; they were taken from my carriage the night before last, when the footman happened to be away for a mo ment. The thief got nothing but a bundle of use less papers in a bag. The Comm—Oh then, I suppose we can't go on ? We'll do whatever you wish, Mr. Brougham . . Mr. F. PoLLocfc—My Learned Friend will re ceive a proposition, my Lords, I have no doubt, upon which he can compound and get his papers back. This allusion created much diverson in Court, which was considerably heightened a minute or two afterwards, when Mr. BROUGHAM stood up, with a mate which his clerk had just handed to him, ands 4.4 7 „—,,it the communication, my Lords, of which my friend, Mr, Pollock, just now gave me notice. lam informed that, by sending to a certain place, I may have my bag and papers back. I am afraid, however, that, without the leave of the Court, I cannot compound," —(Much laughter , in which the Bench joined.) The COURT declined giving any opinion or assist ance to the briefless Counsellor. Mr. Brougham, however, without waiting for the instructions of the Learned Judges, despatched bis clerk in quest of the lost bag. The ulterior proceedings, in consequence of this daring attack upon the privileges of. the bar, have not yet been resolved upon. It is understood to be hd by i yn r sp., armedloafeet h e o fpdoicf different ec n re fi e, u nm e t m ic ogehnittm. t a k e s e u h a i s db v er j e oe h nf i s C v el, in contemplatio n t o app l y for the loan of the police p caravan in which p r i soners are conducted to and ith safety and expedition t o C ourt every and back again in - -the evening—in e tti tnhh from s h coeeeorm rir opi nion of some, a very suitable conveyance. It is a matter for grave consideration how far a lawyer's !papers can be treated as:propertyZand the, stealing of them deemed a felony. Mr. Brougham himself called them" useless." The better opinion seems to be, that they are not property,(this, of course, does not apply to the bag), but that a civil action for damages, at the separate suit of the clients, as well as Counsel, may be brought. The Learned Judges, it is understood, will not be backward in visiting this interference with the business of their Court with due punishment," " provided always" that the offender be discovered, or delivers himself up for judgment: The law of the country can never go on, if lawyers' bags are to be stolen with impu nity. It is held iv lawyers, that the legal character must be held sacred; and the legislature may be ap plied to in the next Session, to make it sacrilege to touch the hair of -- -a- Counsellor's (or Judge's) wiK e. " with intent to steal." MR. BROUGHAM'S BAGS. The following, we understand, is Coe communi cation to which Mr. Brougham alltlded in the Court of King's Bench, respecting his stolen bags : Sin t —We will return you them bags, what was stolen out of your carriage this here, morning--(seeing as how they belonged to a lawyer, and finding that we had got into bad hands)—if so be you will trtake us n decent recompense, as ourhonesty deserves. *Sh6uld you feel inclined to d,/ so, please go to Waterloo-bridge this here evening at nine o'clock ; where you will tueet.with a german who will ae if your name's Brougham. Do not look him too lord in the face, for he is werry modest, and having some character to laic; does not like to be seen in company with a lawyer. On your telling him as your name's really Brougham; Ir 4 will give you back your old clothes bag ; and you in reheat will give him what you please—we leaves that to your ge nerosity—trusting only as you're a gemman, you'll behave as sick. We hopes that you wont give no ace Aunt of the r parson what you'll,meet on the Bridge, for ; be has got a sort of a constitutional aversion to the r:;id Bailey, seeing as how it's a disease that has proved 4 At a l to all his familly. We thinks you had better come .iressed in top-boots and spurs (with moustachir..a to disguise your parson), as we shall then have no doubt of our man. Please present our werry best compliments ,to Sir Thomas Lethbridge, with whom, we understand, you are on excellent terms orifisit ing, and tell him we hopes as how bell put as many Mem bers to sleep during his speechifying as he did last-Sessions; because we can then grab the rhino out of the Members' pocketts.
