About 600 acres of the Estate are arable in good condition, and capable of raising any crops known in that Country. The Mansion House is fit to accommodate a respectable Tamil•. It is delightully situated within a few hundred yards of the sea coast (with an intervening lawn), fronting a picturesque bay, which affords capital anchorage, and in which are studded several much-admired islands, contributing remarkable beauty to the scenery. There are thriving plantations about, the Mansion-house, which is one of the most desirable residences in the Highlands. A large garden and office louses in complete order adjoin the Mansion-house. This Estate is full of game, including grouse, black cock, snipe, partridge, &c. ; and the shores abound in every variety of sea fowl. The bay affords, in abundance, white fish of almost every description, besides 'shell-fish on the shores, and salmon trout, &c. The roads are excellent, and the post-office at a convenient dis tance. Besides which, the communication by regular steam packets with the South *ill - greatly add to the advantage o(the situation. No Highland Estate has been in the market fur some time which combines more advantages, and which is so highly suscepti ble of improvement, and so well calculated to afford large returns for judicious expenditure upon it.

Ignorance and em pYrici s ta m ,how ' how ever, still oppos e th e i r venomous hostility, and the prejudice of weak minds, in some measure, encourages their audacity . As Truth is to Falsehood--so may our publi c s t a t emen t s be com pared with their unqualified pretensions, and to expose their fal-'1 lacies, we have not hesitated to avow ourselves as practitioners in a class of Diseases which endanger the mystic evolutions of Na ture. To be brief : we are Members of the London College of Surgeons, can establish the integrity of 'our Character upon the success of Twenty Years' practical experience, and announce the grateful testimony of those in whom long suffering had neatly ex tinguished every hope of relief. We pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilus, from its in cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by every doubt, and whatever malignancy. The intricate and much neglected diseases of the ITrethra have been carefully and studiously considered, as have also those delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmosphere or the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of gaiety —or the more alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by a graflual dereliction of the animal powers. To all who are thus circumstanced, and more especially to such as are aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our Commen taries, Ist, " The JEgis of Life," for the one Sex ; or, 2d, " Hygeiana," exclusively addressed to the Females ; the perusal of which must prove beneficial to their moral happiness.

Mr. Hostwx, at the sitting of the Court, resumed his argil= ments in this case. The Learned Counsel had gone a considerable way in it when the Court rose on Friday. It was not therefore his intention to repeat any thing which he had previously said. At the. rising of the Court on the last day of its sittings, the Learned Gentleman had brought the attention of the Court down to the period when Mrs. Bligh was received, as the other side had said, into the protection of Mr. Welles ley; but as he said into the protection of Mr. Welleiley in an honourable way, he trusted he had removed any imputation, if any there did exist, upon Mr. Wellesley—an imputation that not only had h 4 induced this lady to elope froth her hus band, but - having done so, he had put her under the protection of his wife, for purposes of the most improper statute. - The • Learned Counsel trusted that he had on that day satisf►ed ! the Court, that the protection that Mrs. Bligh received was .from Mrs. Wellesley. The Learned Counsel had dwelt a good deal on the evidence of Dr. Bulkeley, and was going to call his Lordship'► attention to the affidavit of Mrs..l3ligh, in which that Lady I►ad denied that most horrible crime which the evidence of Dr. Bulke ley had endeavoured to fix upon her with respect to her .conduct with Mr. Wellesley. The Court would recollect the terms of in : degnation in which she had repelled a charge so horrible. The learned Counsel thought that there were periods at which little circumstances were very important, and well worthy of consideration with respect to testimony. Now the Court would recollect the elopement as stated, had taken place on the 311,tevii July. It was said on the other side, that it was an elopement on her part voluntary from the protection of a kind hushend for the purpose of an adulterous intercourse with Mr.W. Now it was sworn by Mrs. Bligh, and there was no contradiction whatever of it, that a fortnight . or three weeks before this elopement, which she swears was not voluntary, so far from being so, she was forced, by the ill conduct of her hoiltand, to leave his house; but that a fort night or three weeks before this elopement, she had written on the subject to the Dnke of Wellington, stating that it was impossible she could, if she received the• same treatment, live in her hus band's house. Now the Learned Counsel would ask if the affida vit of Dr. Bulkeley was true, whether at the very moment she was writing this letter, she must not have been carrying on the most adulterous intercourse with Mr. Wellesley, the nephew of this noble person to whom she was writing, and whether with respect to female purity she must not have stunk at Naples ; and was it, he would ask, to be supposed, that a person in her senses would, under such circumstances,' - have bad the folly to write to a person, who (if what Dr. Bulkeley had said was true) could only look on her with abhorrence? In the opinion o: the Learned Counsel it was impossible. What was more natural, what more proper, considering the high relations this lady had, than that she should in such a case write to the Duke of Welling ton. The Court would also bear-in mind the correspondence that took place, not only between Mrs. Wellesley and Mrs. Bligh, but also with Mr. Wellesley. It was remarkable that on this subject Mr.' Wellesley bed himself written to the Duke of Wellington; would any man iu his senses, under such circumstances, have done as Mr. Wellesley had . ; if what-had been stated was true ! ! His LORIAHIP wished to know whether either of these letters were in evidence? Mr. HORNE believed they were. His LORDSHIP did not think he had any copy of the letter of Mr. Wellesley to the Duke of Wellington. Mr. Preys said it was not in evidence. Mr. HORYE was very much mistaken if it was not. His LORDSHIP had not said it was not, but he had no copy of it. Mr. Houssx said, Mr. Wellesley, is his affidavit, states the fact. The Learned Counsel was quite aware, that however the fact might he, his Lordship would not exclude it upon any techni cal ground. His LORDSHIP thought quite the contrary; hit . feeling *as far . otherwise, and he was quite sure that a great deal had not been brought forward that might have been. When he said this, he did not mean with respect to the parties now before the Court; but with respect to other persons, he was well satisfied a great deal more might have been brought forward. Mr. HORNE then proceeded—There was a letter stated in Mrs. Bligh's affidavit, which he thought important should be read, and he trusted the Court would pardon him for taking up so much of its time. It was a letter from Mr. Wellesley-to Mrs. Bligh, of the date of the 4th of August, the elopement having, as had been stated, taken place on the 31st of July, and the Learned Counsel would submit it never could have been written for the purpose of being used in this or any other Court. The substance of it was as follows " Dear Mrs. Bligh,---1 pray you to read the enclosed ; if you think the affidavit to be correct, write upon the back of it your opinion." This is the affidavit which had been said to he such a tissue of perjury ; the Learned Counsel then went on to read the conclud ing part of the letter, in which Mr. Wellesley requested Mrs. Bligh to go 'to Mrs. Maxwell ; that although she would view her conduct severely, yet Mr. Wellesley thought that was the thing which her interest required. The more her conduct was watched the better. What motive, the Learned Counsel would ask, had Mr. Wellesley for writing this letter to this Lady? Could it be supposed that he would adopt such a course if he was carrying on a criminal intercourse with her ? Could it be supposed he was looking forward to the period when it might be made evidence of? If that was so, what use could it be of, but to plunge them deeper and deeper in criminality. But if the Court disbelieved what Dr. Bulkeley had stated, then there could be no difficulty. The Learned Counsel proceeded at some length with the evidence. He begged to call the attention of the Court particularly to the correspondence, as he considered it of much more weight than many parts of the evidence. He thought that he had brought Mr. Wellesley triumphantly through this part of the case ; that he hid exculpated him from the crime of adultery, and he trusted, that the ill example that was supposed to exist fell to the ground, for the foundation of such example had no existence.. But supposing it could be proved, which the Learned Counsel begged to deny, he would ask his Lord ship, whether he was Trepared to say, if it was proved he had been guilty of adultery, and had concealed it from his family, wbetker that would be a ground for taking Mr. Wellesley's children away from hint. Things of the most ini quitous nature had been imputed to Mr. Wellesley and Mrs. Bligh, which could by possibility be imputed to any man or woman, upon the foundation of the evidence of Doctor Bulkeley; that man who had shrunk from going into the witness'. box at the time ; and he trusted the Court would also bear in mind that there had been a consultation of pro fessional men, and the result, it was thought, would be better for Capt. Bligh in his action not to bring forward Dr. Bulkeley in the box; and that it would be beLt:sr for this proceeding, at least as far as the Solicitors tail a voice upon the sub ject, that his testimony should remain upon his voluntary affidavits, uncontradicted, except by those who swear as boldly as he had done. The object of Mr. Wellesley svas, in his opinion, highly ho nourable, commendable, and justifiable, his was the natural feelings of a father, and what, he would ask, was there brought against Mr. Wellesley at all, to induce this court to take from him the care of .those children, which as a father he claimed the care of? Mr. Wellesley had shown himself in no in stance to feel less for the fate of his children than Mrs. Wel lesky had done. The Learned Counsel sat down at half-past one o'clock, trusting that his Lordship would be of opinion that Mr. 'Wellesley was entitled to that which he asked, namely, the eare of his children. Mr. Ha.srar was partly heard on the same side ; but was inter rupted by the rising of the Court. The crowd in Lincoln's Inn hail was to-day again very numer ous, and the majority followed Mr. Wellesley across the square to the chambers of his solicitor, but without expressing any symptons of, disapprobation. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 22. RUNNING DOWN A SHIP AT SEA. JAM SON 2. nars.r...x.n. This was a new trial on ari action' by the owner of the ship Lively, against the defendant, owner of the ship. Miranda, to re, cover the value of the former vessel, which was run down by the latter on the night of the Qiith of December, 1525, off Scilly...- On the last trial the verdict was given for the defendant..

The counsel for the plaintiff opened the Catiazittik4ted ship Miranda had, OR the above night beta - patriot - r u t ligence in scudding with great rapidity-on a night dslt in perhaps the most dangerous part of the channel, - siheiti were continually passing both night and day. The Lively wails much smaller vessel, and though she had taken the precaution of placing a light in the shrouds, when she saw the danger ap proaching in a narrow navigation. Notwithstanding this care, how ever, the Miranda came full upon her, and ran her down by cros-: sing her larboard how. The crew were saved by great exertions. and with great difficulty, but not a vestige of the property wan saved. The Learned Gentleman contended, that the use of studding sails. • • was not only injudicious but dangerous, on a dark night, in a narrow part of the sea, where they might be sure of meeting a great num ber of vessels, and called on the Jury for a reparation of the in jury, and the recovery of loss, by their verdict. The following witnesses for the plaintiff were then called :-- - Spittle—l was Captain of the Lively, at the time of the accident, our vessel was sailing against the wind, and the AC- rondo was sailing towards us. The former was going at the rate of two miles and a half an hour, and the latter eigh a miles. The Miranda was about three quarters of a mile from us, when one of our men first saw her, and we put up a light when ehe.was a quarter of a mile from us. We hailed as she approached, but no body appeared. She then struck our abotif mid-ships, sad: we then leaped on the bow of the Miranda, Where watch shanld have been kept. We saw none on her deck, LJew osiatztes after .

It was impossible for us to have - avoided her, as we could not distinctly see which way she sailed till we saw hw hull,: about a minute or so before she struck our vessel. The • Miranda was in good trim, but our vessel was heavily loaded.— , The. Miranda's crew did not hail to us. a:emitted h} Mr. Sergetant Bias_a;sclutar kept . on the Miranda from the Lirely's quarter-dec is first time I saw her; she did not alter hea ceurs , aat we could not dis tinctly see her course till she caniesstiakit a cable's' length of us ; I thought her crew were all listaiP, and considered ourselves in danger when she crane close to us; though I had taken up our helrry . s , 4 l, ' asst saw her, it . would not h ave th e effect of putting ; cent vessel before the wind, there not being time enough for her - • to turn round. We had a speaking trumpet on board, but we • did not sound it, as we had not time. William Telford, John Bradlie, and Andrew Rankin, who were seamen on board the Lively, were then examined, and in substance confirmed the Captain's testimony. • William Reynoldsou, who was master of a ship in his 31ajeity'A service for upwards 0130 years, • was then called, in alder to give his opinion regarding the conduct of the parties. Naafi,that . vessels sailing against the wind generally keep their course, and that it is the duty of the vessels going before the wind to keep out of the way. A vessel going by the wind, though withiiitwo or four ships' lengths of one going against it, may, on putting her helm sport, avoid it altogether. She would turn round as quisklv as a horse led by a bridle. Witness considered the studding (midis used by the Miranda, quite improper at night, as they are placed in the fore-yard, and project about twenty feet, whereby they pre vent the sight of any vessel coming a-head ; and besides they en crease the velocity of the ship, and entangle the yards. It was always witness's practice to keep a good look out at night, and not to allow the studding sails to remain up. By Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET.---It is the custom of all mer chant ships to take in studding sails at night. By the Co c RT.—The speaking trumpet is generally kept in the companion of the vessel. When a vessel is coming by the wind, 40 people, each blowing a trumpet, in a vessel coming against the wind, would not be heard by those in the former vessel. The LORD Ciu JUSTICE observed, that though the practice of carrying studding sails in the channel might be of very old existence, he should not hold it justifiable if it was dangeroui, init he felt hound to pay every respect to those gentlemen who tat by his side, and who were of opinion that near Scilly the danger was not so much increased as to render the practice ire- proper, provided a good look-out was kept. It would, therefore, be reduced to the single question, whether the Miranda had kept a good 100k -out, and as they were of opinion on that' point they would find fcr the plaintiff or the defendant. The Jury immediately retailed a verdict for the_plaintiff. The damages were agreed to be referred. The latter end of last week a grand Battu was held at the seat of the Marquis of Chandos, at Wotton. The party consisted at first of about fourteen sportsmen. On attirdar alone, 1135 hares, besides other game, fell from the well-directed shot of ten fowling pieces. The sport had been contemplated several months ago, and his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, we understand, had promised to attend on the occasion ! Bucks Chronicle. SINGULAR MODE OF REVENGE.—Father Catrou relates that a very 'strange use was once made of artillery by a Princess Cande, whose capital, AMadanagar, the Emperor Alihar ,had laid siege to :—" Akbar was detained more than two months at the foot of her ramparts; obliged at last to yield to the perse verance of the besiegers, she conceived a singular mode of taking revenge on her enemy. All the geld and silver of which she was possessed the Princess caused to be melted and nude into bullets, on which were engraved, iu the character of the country, words expressive of the malediction against the usurper. With these some culverins were loaded, capable of carrying ball to the tance of a league, and the bullets were fired into the copses and lesser woods, by - which the place is on every side environed. The Princess at last capitulated, after having scattered "all the riches of which she purposed to disappoint the conqueror. Some of these bullets of gold and silver are occasionally found, even at the present day, in the vicinity of Amadanagar. It is but a short time since that a peasant discovered one of gold, weighing eight pounds. It was seen by M. Manouchy, who was much gratified with reading the inscription."—History of the Mogul Dynastil, OLD COBBETT AND THE JEstyurs.-- , The fero city with which the old bone-grubber has recently attacked the most distinguished and virtuous supporters of the Reformation in England, and the diigustin7 manner iu which he has slavered his, praise on that most orthodox and pious Christian Ferdinand en.

Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock precisely, the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR took his seat at Cutler's Hall, for the purpose of entering upon the scrutiny, to determine on whom the election had fallen to become Alderman of the above ward. The partisans of 11r. Sheriff Winchester, and those of 11fr. Wilde, exerted. themselves to the utmost, to gain their wonted triumph. For Mr. Sheriff Winchester, Mr. Wakefield, of the Chancery bar, and the Hon. E. Law, were Counsel. For Mr. Wilde, Dr. Lushington and Mr. Broderick. Several cases of local interest occurred, but the chief questions to he decided were, whether warehouse-keepers had a right to vote, and in many cases whether an occasional residence was sufficient. These points were tried in several cases, and the result we understand to be that warehouse-keepers were not inhabitant househoulders, within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, nor consistent with the Act of Common Council, upon which that Act was framed. In respect to the latter point, the case of Mr. Dawes was relied upon. He resided in Skinner-street, but rented a house in St. Thomas Apostle, within the Ward, but it was proved in evidence that he had not slept in the house until after the commencement of the election, and that the room he claimed in right of to exer cise his franchise was common to the whole of the inmates. The arguments 'of the Learned Counsel were heard on both sides in this and the other cases, and remain to abide his Lord ship's decision at the close of the scrutiny. Both the candidates appeared to be confident in the result. At the commencement Mr. Sheriff Winchester declined exchanging a list of the disputed votes with his opponent, previous to their entering upon the scrutiny.

SOUTH AMERICAN TOILETTE.—WhiIe I was sitting on a horse's head, writing by the blaze of the fire, I saw two girls dressing for the ball. They were standing near a stream of water, which was running at the hack of the hut. After wash ing their faces, they put on their gowns, and then twisting up their hair in a very pretty simple way, they picked, by the light of the moon, some yellow flowers which were growing near them. These they put fresh into their hair, and when this simple toilette was completed, they looked as interesting, and as nicely dressed, as if "the carriage was to have called for them at eleven o'clock ;" and in a few minutes, when I returned to the hall, I was happy to see them each with a partner.......l-Acur s R oug h Notrs SOMNAMBULIs correspondent, of undoubted veracity, informs us, " that the sudden disappearance of the son of Mr. Pearce, of Fisherwick, near Lichfield, created great alarm in the faMily on Thursday night the. 28th December, but it sub sided on his return after about an hour's absence. It appears that the boy rose in his sleep, having nothing on but his shirt and night-cap, and leaped from his chamber window, 15 feet from the ground, after which be took his course through an extensive garden, and- by the help of a ladder, ascended a wall fourteen feet high ; after walking a considerable distance upon it, he descended by a tree into a thick plantation, through which he passed up wards of half a mile, crossing a current of water by a narrow plank. his mother, on discovering his absence and his room window open, went out in pursuit of him, when, to her great sur prise, she found him returning home without having received any injury excepting a few scratches."—Staffordshire Advertiser. Some days ago, an account appeared in some of the Morning Papers, detailing the circumstances of a highway robbery that was committed near Guildford, and describing that Cobbler Will and another man were apprehended in that town soon afterwards, on suspicion of having been concerned in the out rage. On that occasion, upon searching the tinnier, a silver watch was found in his possession, which he a ll eged was t h e iden tical one taken from him by the Chief Constable of Union-hall, when he was apprehended on suspicion of having committed the murders at Fetcham. Subsequently, however, upon the watch being shown to Mr. Hall, he at once discovered the falsehood that had been told by Cobbler Will respecting it. Since then' a person named Mann, attended 'at ITnion-hall, and having stated that he had observed a paragraph in the Newspapers, describing that a watch, taken from the person of Page, was deposited in the hands of the Chief Constable, requested to see it, when he at once iden tified it as his property, and stated that be had been robbed of it in the neighbourhood of EpsOnl about three weeks ago. The applicant was referred to the Magistrates presiding at that place, before whom he might make application for a warrant again,* Page,
