MORNING SL N SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The folio ving resolution, amongst others, was adopted et the important meeting, which we re port, at Biriningham :—" That this meeting rejoices that the National Anti-Corn-law League have convened a meeting of deputies to assemble in London on the Bth of February; and this meeting earnestly recom mends to the deputies, when assembled, to take prompt and efficient measures, irrespective of the course which may be pursued by the Government, for testing the opinions of the Members of the House of Commons on the total and immediate abolition of the Corn and Provision laws." It was also suggested that Deputies from the dif ferent ass oc i a ti ons t h roug h out t h e coun t r y s hould attend the great, general meeting on the Bth of next month. Aide toi, le Ciel t'aidera. This is the tone forced on the Industrial I n t eres t by the 'Make-believe Ministry.o se Their measures are not patiently waited furb those R monopoly pinches. Their intend-- "s inspire no confidence in manufacturing towns—and they oug ht to inspire new. This is the tone which rejection of mo derate e.ifers has drawn after it. We pray attention to the Ket, and it is a very remarkable one—that while thie is the tone held in the great seats of our !staple manufactures—the very partisans of the pre sent Government, one after the other, are making the auende honorable to the late Ministerial plan of a fixed duty ! Yes—now that pati ence is exhausted in the • suffering interests--enow that concession will have lost its grace, m oderation its efficacy—the very lackeys and Eekspittles of the party ascendant are beginning to find out the policy of the plans of the party displaced ! This is curiously evident in the successive insertions of tile Times in favour of a fixed duty. Whatever seeder-current of opinion is systematically admitted by that journal, it may always safely be supposed to be lieve likely, in the end, to carry the public with it. For some time back, the correspondence columns of the Times have furnished ample vindications of that Liberal commercial policy which the leading articles of the Times haVe vilified. No farther back than yesterday a Times Correspondent called attention to what is really the crowning absurdity of the sliding scale —namely, that its practical operation, on foreign markets, places Great Britain in the absurd position of a bidder at an auct, en who, having outbid all his competitors, should con6n ue t o bid against himself • STANDARD.—None can be more sensLiale than our selves of the unfitness of a newspaper es a vehicle for theological discussion, or even for the investigation of questions bordering upon theological; but what can we do? Is error to be freely and even profusely disseminated through newspapers, and disseminated without contra diction or criticism, because it has adopted a channel hitherto considered, and properly considered, an unbecoming one for the matter in which the error lies? Nobody will answer the question in the affirmative ; but if our Contemporaries will abstain from sacred subjects, we promise that we shall abstain also, and great will be our gratification at being able to fulfil the promise to forbear. With this, we hope, suffi cient apology, we return to the consideration of the words Catholic and Protestant, words just now on every lip, and in almost every newspaper. " Words are things," said a wise man, and very important things they are, too, when, as at present, they are made the founda tion of arguments upon the most serious subjects. A. very intelligent, and, notwithstanding all its bitter eras towards ourselves, a much respected Contemporary, Nravely stated in a late number that the Catholic church, in which we profess our belief when we recite the creed called the Apostles', is the Church of England ! a state • meat which would 'mike all theT'rotestant Churches of the world, for they all use the .4.N....postles' Creed, to acknowledge the Church of Te'nglend as the one true Church, while we, as - linglieli Churchmen, by such an under standing., esteltule from the pale of Christianity all the PreLestants in the world, including our fellow subjects of North Britain. 'This almost incredible inconsistency shows to what an extent error prevails, end to what injurious contradictions it leads even in telligent minds, As we explained, however, yesterday, Cathode means universal, and it is a plain logical sole cism to limit the term to the Church of any particular country., or to the Church of any particular organisation. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. /ROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—In the Buenos Ayres papers 'received to-day, which come down to the 18th of November, the death of i avalle is confirmed ; with the dispersion of his troops and the slaughter of many of his leading men. The announcement had been made thrsugh the usual official channel, ',he Gazette, but, what is somewhat singular, the ;canner in which the great leader of the Unitarians Came to his end is not given ; all is left to conjecture on that head, but that 112 is dead there is no reason to doubt. Respecting the fate of La Madrid nothing cer tain was known. Two Indians who had lately come over the Cordilleras stated that before their departure from Chili a body of about 20 men bad reached the first post-house in great distress, and that on their passage across they discovered nearly 100 . dead, upon some of whom they found considerable sums in gold. From Corrientes, the quarter to which is now directed the at tention of the Argentine forces as the stronghold of the Unitarians, the last accounts stated that Generals Paz and Ferri had retreated across the river, upon the north bank of which General Echague had encamped. In the Banda Oriental of the Rivera Government, as one means of preserving the integrity of the State, had ordered a general enrolment of slaves. Rosas' company at Santos Luguires was about o break up, in consequence of the frequent desertions of his troops to Don Frutos. The attempt of the Monte Videan Government to open the navigation of the Uruguay is said to have failed. The British brig Nau tilus had made the experiment, but was sent back by the commandant of the island of St. Martin Garcia. As the natural result of the receipt of the intelligence of the death of Lavalle, there had been the most joyous festivities at Buenos Ayres ; and Rosas, who is de scribed as the " enlightened genius, the illustrious re storer of the laws,"" had had laid at his feet the most flattering addresses on the success attending the operations of the troops in the interior. Lavalle must have sorely harrassed and perplexed the Government ; for in the official despatches he is recognised as having taken the field with his followers against the present Administration as far back as the year 1828. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jan. 28. CLOBERRY V. HERRING. The further arguments in this past-heard case occu pied the Court the whole day. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 28. CIVIL V. ABRAHAMS. In this case an injunction ex parte had been obtained to restrain the defendant from appropriating or distri buting the purchase money of a certain estate which had been conveyed by the defendant to the plaintiff, on the ground that the conveyance was incomplete, as there were certain parties necessary to the deed of conveyance who refused to execute. Mr. PEMBERTON applied to his Lordship to have the injunction dissolved, as the plaintiff had in his pos session the title-deeds to the estate, and acknowledged that the deed of conveyance gave him a good title thereto. Mr. KINDERSLEY appeared for the plaintiff, and re plied that it was necessary the injunction should con tinue, as the plaintift; in the present state of his title, could not possibly make use of it; and, further, that the defendant had given an undertaking, at the time of the conveyance, not to distribute the purchase-money, which was held in the Funds till the purchase was completed. The defend ant was executor to a certain party, and it was in the exec ution of this trust that he sold the property, as di rected, by the will of the testator, to whom he was ap point-La as executor, and the party refusing to execute was the heir-aoatv to the testator. Mr. PEMBERTON said the plaintiff had in his posses sion the whole of the title-deeds, and he had it in his power to compel the heir-at-law to execute the convey ance. He took all control over the estate from the de fendant, and also, by this injunction, he deprived him of all benefit in the purchase-money. His LORDSHIP said he did not think, under the pre sent circumstances, the defendant ought to be allowed to part with the stock which comprised the purchase money, and therefore the injunction must be continued. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Jan. 28. (Before Vice-Chancellor BnucE.) OLIVER V. LATI3LAX. / / 7 Unopposed petitions and short causes occupied his Honour, the Vice-Chancellor of England, the whole morning. The Court was engaged the entire day, to the time of its rising, with the arguments in this case. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) THE EAST INDIA COMPANY V. THE COOPERS' COMPANY. The arguments in this cause were resumed. His Ilosouu, after expressing his opinion on some of the points raised in argument, requested the Counsel for the defence to address themselves to the fact of notice in connection with, and as affected by, the question of expenditure by the East India Company, that being the point upon which his ultimate decision would probably turn. Mr. COOPER addressed the Court for the defendants. The Learned Counsel repudiated the imputation of the plaintiff's Counsel that the Coopers' Company wished,. by availing themselves of a strict rule of law, to acquire possession of a site of ground upon which the East India Company had expended a large sum of Inaney. It appeared from one of the letters put in on the other side that the defendants were acting as trustees for Lady Gibson's charity, and claimed nothing in their own right. The Learned Counsel, after going at length into all the facts of the cast', submitted that there was not the slightest pretence for any of the equities set up by the bill, and that it must therefore be dismissed. Mr. Sutton Sharpe, 'err. Montague, and Mr. Willock followed on the same side. .Mr. Buaca replied fur the plaintiffs, contending that there had been a clear agreement to grant an under lease to 'Frieder ; that the defendants had notice of what took pl,ace. and suffered the plaintiffs t o expend large sums on the property, and that there had, been no interposi tion whatevtr on the part of the Coopers' Company for t h e purpose p f insistin g that the E ast I nd i a Company had forfeited their lease. , rhe expendit ure took place under -the eye of the Coopers Company, and wi • th a knowledg© on their part, ac cordniz, to their own p roposition, that the lease had been forfeited. On these grounds, there fore, he claimed relief at the hands of the Court. His Hosoutt_ ordered the cause to stand in the paper for judgment on Monday next. _ ---------- COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 28. THE QUEEN V. THE PROPRIETOR AND PRINTER OF THE " NORTHERN STAR" NEWSPAPER. Mr. THESIOER said in this case his Learned Friend t i tt; ) Altrnmey-General had obtained a rule for a criminal n eto'rrT"- /asp.inst Mr. Feargus O'Connor , t he propri the orthern Star newspaper, and Mr. Wright , the printer and p u bli s h er, for an alleged libel He did not r rise e, on bu t t he hc fr w e as sen ua t eocetcaauxsioinel which Air. O'Connor was placed with regard to t e o th sh at ow th c ei a r u Le se against should understand the position the publication of the article in question. Mr. O'ConnorF.e_ae N , rh va e s u the in p a r ll o y asprie well to as proprietor of the paper, and knew that he civilly been is extremely w s published responsiblemhiapapefror; buteverhye h a a r d tic desirous since he became the owner of the paper to pre vent the insertion of any attack upon private character, and for the four years during which he bad been pro prietor of the paper, he (Mr. Thesiger) would venture to say, on no one occasion had there been any such at tack upon private character. At the time of the inser tion of the article Mr. O'Connor was absent, and was not aware of what had been introduced into the paper ; but when he returned he expressed his disapprobation in the strongest possible terms, and insisted that an im mediate apology should be made. Of -course there was not the slightest desire on Mr. O'Connor's part to defend in any way the insertion of the article so improperly published, and which undoubtedly conveyed imputations of a very unjustifiable nature, and which he had no desire of making. He was on the contrary clt!sirous of making the most public as well as the earliest atone ment for the insertion of the article. As for the printer, White, Mr. O'Connor insisted that he likewise should throw himself upon the mercy of the person he had offended, and make au apology for having permitted such an article to be inserted. He had much 0-r atification in making that apology to his Learned Friend, b and he trusted under the circumstances that he would not press the rule. _ _ Lord DENMAN—The rule was obtained, I believe, in the other Court. MY. THESIGER—Yes, my Lord. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it wopl d be necessary for him to occupy the time of '.:ne Court for a few minutes, in stating the cir 4 7:anstances under which the attack was made upon t .' . -ae character of Mr. Anstey, who was master of a sch ,- ,,,, t at R ug b y. Lord DENM ;.N —The matter is entirely in your own hands. Thq ATTORNEY-GE.NEUAL said, in order that the '!.:-rangement might . be satisfactory, it would be neces sary to refer to some of the circumstances of the case, and to leave it to the Court to say whether the apology ought to be accepted. Mr. Anstey was the master of a school at Rugby ; he was the father of a large family ; had always lived in the utmost harmony with his wife and children, and had testimonials of the highest descrip tion as to his general character. He himself personally, and his wife, performed various acts of kindness to the wife of an individual who was left destitute in the town where they live. These acts of kindness were misrepresented, and used as the basis of truth. for the purpose of casting upon that gentleman the vilest slanders—he was charged with having seduced the woman, and making the pre tence of charity the means of gratifying his lawless pas sions. It was impossible for Mr. Anstey not to have brought the matter forward; at the same time Mr. An stey had no desire to do anything beyond setting himself right with the public, and vindicating his character as the master of a school and the father of a family. He had not, therefore, the slightest objection to receive the public retractation and apology that had been made, their Lordships being of opinion that that was the pro per course for him to take, and his Learned Friend un dertaking that the costs should be paid by the defendant. Lord DEsmax—Beyond all doubt the prosecutor should insist upon these terms, lest there should be any possibility . of supposing that his forbearance proceeded from any improper motives. Mr. THESIGER, of course, had not the slightest objec tion to agree to these terms, and had, in fact, omitted to state them previously. The ArIORNEY-GENERAL - Under these circum , stances, and with your Lordship's permission, Mr. Anstey having no wish beyond that of vindicating his character and placing it before the public as it ought to stand, I have no objection that the rule should be discharged. The rule was then discharged. BAIL COURT, Jan. 28. THE QUEEN V. REV. G. HOBSON.-QUO WARRANT?. Mr. COLE moved for a rule for a quo warranto, calling upon the Rev. George Hobson to show cause by what right he exercised the functions of a burgess of the borough of Lichfield. The affidavits set forth that the Rev. Gentleman did not possess any one of the quali fications necessary under the Municipal Corpora tions Act.; He had not occupied any house, ware house, or premises within the borough for two years. He was not an inhabitant householder, he was not rated to the'pooi., and he had not paid any rates. Under these circumstances he 'trusted the application would be grated.—Rule nisi granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 28. THE QUEEN v. THE SHERIFF OF HERTFORD. This was a motion to discharge a rule obtained for the purpose of setting aside an order of the Court on payment of costs. The order was an attachment against the Sheriff of Hertford for not having returned a writ of fiere facia; in pursuance of an order of the Court. The question was, whether the reasons alleged in the affidavit upon which the rule was obtained were sufficient to entitle the Sheriff to the relief sought for? The affi davit was made by the Sheriff's officer, who stated that the here facias was delivered on the 27th of November, and the warrant was given to him on the day after. Upon the Ist of December he entered the plantiff 's pre mises, and on the next day he sold part of his goods. He then stated that he also seized s quantity of bricks belonging to the plaintiff, upon which a claim of wharfage had been made, and that he found a purchaser for these,but that they could not be removed immediately in conse quence of the state of the weather. On the 30th of Dec. 1 the Sheriff was ruled peremptorily to return the writ on 7th of January. But upon that day, and with the consent of the plaintiff's attorney, an order was made for further time, for the space of a week. The Sheriff's officer pro ceeded to state that on the Bth of January, the day after the original writ expired, he received from London a let ter stating that a week's delay had been obtained; and then he went on to say that he believed the time of that delay expired on the 15th of January; upon which day the return was mace by the Sheriff. The:time, how ever had, in reality, expired on the 14th, ' the day be fore. Another reason assigned by the officer for the de lay was that he had not been able before the 15th to give to the plaintiff or his Solicitor any proper or satisfac tory account of the proceeds of the said levy, he having received the money for the bricks only upon that day. There was an affidavit on the part of:the plaintiff which stated that on the 9th of December an application was made to the Sheriff's officer, upon which he called on the plaintiff's attorney, stating . that he had seized. and sold certain goods of the plaintiff to the amount of 20/., but that he had not received cash for the same, but that he expected it in a day or two ; and he promised to remit it to deponent within a week. These circumstances having been stated to the Court, The COURT observed that if the Sheriff had done any thing wrong the plaintiff's remedy was to proceed by action; and the late rule of the Court would not prevent him from pursuing such a course. The rule was there fore made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 28. CRANE V. PRICE. CLUTTERBITCR V. COFFIN. The plaintiff was engaged by the defendant (the Cap tain of her Majesty's ship Triuculo) as cook, not only to his own cabin especially, but generally to the ship. The plaintiff on one occasion having fried a dish of fish instsad of boiling it, was dismissed, and the defendant refused- to pay him his wages. For this the action was brought, and the Jury found for the plaintiff in the amount claimed, 351. V Mr. Sergeant Channell afterwards ob tained a rule nisi flr a new trial. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS this day showed cause against the rule, which, after hearing Mr. Sergeant Channell in reply, the Court dismissed, being cf opinion that the ille gality of the contract could not now be made an objection to the verdict, as it was not pleaded at the trial. RAIIN V. HARDING , . This was an action to recover an alleged arrear of tithes, due for the year 1838. The defendant, a 'farmer, in. Berkshire, produced at the trial a number of receipts, amounting to the whole value of tithes,_ for several years prior and subsequent to that year ; but none referring I specifically to that year. The Jury found for the de fendants, and subsequently Mr. Sergeant Ludlow ob tained a rule nisi for a new trial, against which Mr. Sergeant Ludlow this day showed cause. RAHN V. HARDING. The Court were of opinion that although the amount was small, the case ought to go to another Jury, as, on looking over the evidence, it did not appear that the former Jury had been rightly directed. SHEPHERD V. PYBUS. This was an action upon a guarantee for the soundness of a barge, which was alleged to have been leaky at the time of the sale. The Jury found for the plaintiff: Sub sequently a rule nisi was obtained for a new trial ; and, upon the argument, their Lordships took time to consider judgment, and this day they made the rule absolute. PADDOCK P. FORESTER. The circumstances of this case have been already fully reported. It was an action against the repre sentative of the Duchy of Lancaster, in the pos session of coal mines in Staifordt,hire, for tres pass in entering upon the lands of a copy holder on the ducal manor to dig for coal. The ver dict was for the defendant, and their Lordships this day gave judgment upon the rule nisi since obtained to set that aside.— They discharged the rule. COURT OF REVIEW, Jan. 28. IN RE NASH. Mr. M'CintisTlE applied, on behalf of the petitioner, for an order in this matter, under these circumstances : He stated that his client had issued a fiat against Jona than Nash and Robert Nash, as the supposed names of the partners constituting the firm of Jonathan Nash and Son, brew'ers at Bristol ; that the commission was duly opened under which the petitionine• creditor's debt, the act of trading, and the act of bankruptcy, were proved ; that the parties were then adjudicated to be bankrupts, and that they had surrendered. That subsequently it was discovered that the name of one of the partners was not Robert Nash, but Robert Lucas Nash, upon which. the Commissioners not only refused to proceed. but can celled the adjudication. In this state of things the Learned Counsel prayed that the Court would have the goodness to order that the fiat should be amended by the insertion of the name Lucas. The COURT observed that it was not usual to order that a fiat should be amended after the adjudication had been made. Mr. WCHRISTIE said that by obtaining the order he now asked fur no injury could result to any one, whereas if his client were put to the alternative of having to issue a new fiat, not only considerable extra costs would be incurred, but much inconvenience occasioned by con veying witnesses from afar to prove de novo all that had already been proved, and which appeared upon the proceeding s under the commission then in Court before his Honour. The COURT said it was induced to think ithat in this case the order might be made. Mr. WO:mum then said the time for makini the r adjudication would expire to-day s , and, therefore, it was • necessary for him, as the Court had been pleased to grant the indulgence prayed for, then to trouble his Honour by asking that he would have the goodness to enlarge the time for making the adjudication for a fortnight. His HONOUR inquired if the petition prayed for that ? Mr. M'CHRISTIE was sorry to say there was an omis sion in the prayer of the petition to that effect, but he trusted the Court would allow the petition to be amended in that respect, and that the enlargement should be di rected upon the petition when so amended. His HONOUR ordered it to be so. CONSISTORY COUI?T,Jan. 27. DILLON V. DILLON. This was a suit for divorce by reason of adultery by the Rev. R. C. Dillon, D.D., against Frances Charlotte, his wife. The libel pleaded that the parties were mar ried on the 26th of November, 1839; that on the 29th of flecember, 1840, Mrs. Dillon, with the permission of her husband, proceeded in a Gravesend steamer on a visit to her mother, Mrs. Drury, who resided in the neighbour hcod of Gravesend; that, instead of going thither, she was met on her arrival at Gravesend by a man unknown t:;, Dr. Dillon, with whom she proceeded to the - Sir. Jo h n Falstaff, a road-side inn, midway between and Chatham, wh ere th e y p asse d th^ . , night, slept to gether, and left th e nex t mornie.-6 ; - t.T . 'ravesend ignorant of this f ac t till 11 , 17 .• y to the inn, and, in that Dr. Dillon was 1841, when he proceeded _ order to ascertain the identity of casion, he his wife with t/ ' d female who slept at the inn on that oc . -arranged with the landlord that he should eete : - to the Polytechnic Institution on the 10th of May, whither Dr. Dillon would take his wife ; and that the landlord there recognised her to be the same person. The defensive allegation on the part of Mrs. Dillon denied the imputed adultery, and pleaded that, in fact, she had passed the night of the 29th of December at her mo ther's house ; and further, that Dr. Dillon was barred by his own conduct, after he had, as he alleged, reason able ground for suspecting his wife's infidelity, and even after the , suit had commenced, from the remedy he sought. In his answer to his wife's allegation, Dr. Dillon admitted that, on the night of the day on which he had been informed of his wife's misconduct, he had slept with her and conducted himself towards her cordially and af fectionately, in order not to excite her suspicions till he had established her identity with the person who had slept at Gad's-hill, by means of the recognition on the 10th of May. Dr. ADDAMS, for Dr. Dillon, began by observing that the marriage of the parties had notbeen celebrated under very happy auspices, and had not led to very happy re sults. The defensive allegation attempted to set up that .the affections of Dr. Dillon having become alienated -from his wife, he had by his language and behaviour evinced an anxiety to get rid of his wife, and said he would get rid of her. In the teeth of this it was also pleaded, that he had barred himself of that remedy by a condonation. The two witnesses brought to prove the terms on which they lived differed from each other. Both agreed that they lived very unhap pily ; but one of them imputed declarations to Dr. Dillon to this effect : " I wish to God I could get rid - of you, and I'll see if I can't do it." The other witness declares she never heard him say he was anxious to get rid of his wife, or that he would get rid of her; but only that "he would not bear it any longer, and would leave immediately." Now, one of Dr. _Dillon's witnesses, Mr. Wingate, had been in terrogated as to whether he did pot kick his wife, and whether his conduct was not disgraceful, unmanly, and brutal. The witness denied this expressly, as well as that Dr. Dillon declared his wish to get rid of his wife ; but Mr. Wingate said he had beard Dr. Dillon declare thati' UT was impossible they could live together much hinger,", owing to her violent conduct towards him, and to her frequently absenting herself from his house. The libel charged Mrs. Dillon with adultery with a person who is unknown to Dr. Dillon. Dr. LUSHINGTON—IS he ? One of the interrogatories would lead us to suppose the contrary. 1)r. ADDAMS—Whatever suspicion Dr. Dillon may have had, I presume it was not confirmed. The charge of adultery was proved by Wilson, the landlord of the inn at Gad's-hill, his wife, and the chambermaid, who stated that a lady and gentleman came to their house on the evening of the '29th of December, 1840, slept there, and departed after breakfast the next morning. These witnesses had identified Mrs. Dillon as the same lady. They could not have been mistaken, nor could it be contended that they were not credible. On what ground could it be suggested that they came for ward to support a false story ? Not to gratify any pur pose of malignity, and no money could bribe such per sons to be guilty of perjury for such an object, nor was there reason to suppose that if Dr. Dillon had the incli nation he had the means of bribing them. The witnesses had ample opportunity to notice the lady's person, which was in one respect remarkable, she having had the mis fortune to lose an eye. The landlord waited upon them; the chambermaid undressed the lady, who told her that she was going to see her mother at Gravesend, whom she had not seen for eight or nine years. Was it pos sible that on the 29th of December, 1840, about six or seven o'clock in the evening, another lady, having lost one eye, and so like Mrs. Dillon that three witnesses swore she was her, should come with a gentleman to that identical inn, and pass the night, and that no dili gence could discover who she was, if not Mrs. Dillon ? It was much more probable that the witnesses who sup ported the alibi should be mistaken. Dr. LUSHINGTON—The great difficulty in this case is to know how the information of his wife's infidelity came to the knowledge of Dr. Dillon. The Court is left wholly in the dark in this respect. 1)r. ADDAMS—By an anonymous letter, Dr. LUSHINGTON—Where is the letter ? Dr. ADDAMS—It is not in existence. Dr. LIISIIINGTON—I remember that Lord Stowell re fused to pronounce for a divorce on the sole ground that it was not pleaded how the suspicions first came into the husband's mind. Dr. ADDAMS-It is not the practice, as far as I know, to plead precisely how the information came to the hus band. Dr. Dillon has used all diligence to ascertain with whom his wife passed the night. Nothing could be more proper than his proceedings in order to trace out the facts. When he first heard of the charge he thought it a mistake. After he had seen the people at the inn he was shocked ; but what was he to do? To excite this lady's violence, or hurt her feelings by mentioning it ? He took a more prudent course, and brought up the landlord of the inn to iden tify her at the Polytechnic Institution,, telling him un less he was certain it was the same person not to address her, but if he had no doubt to speak to her. The land lord was certain of her identity, and, addressing her, said, " Good morning ; I hope you are better ;" telling her that her " good gentleman" h a d sa id s h e wou ld come to the inn again. Mrs. Dillon looked confused, and observed that he had mistaken the person ; but in the course of the conversation she whispered to him, " Say it was not me; say you are mistaken in the person." The Old Bailey defence of alibi was sup ported by Mrs. Drury, the mother of Mrs. Dillon, Miss Rumbold, Mrs. Dillon's sister, Elizabeth Lloyd, a dressmaker, and Emily Dix, the servant. Th e evi dence of the first two and the last was nothing more nor less than wilful perjury. As to the alleged con donation, Dr. Dillon, till he had ascertained his wife's guilt, was compelled to put . on his best face, and not alarm her suspicions and provoke her violence. It was true., that whilst the suit was depending on two occasions he had most imprudently had some conversation with his wife in the public road, at Bayswater, where she resided; but this was only a proof of the simplicity of his cha racter. He had no doubt been decoyed into these inter views, and the witnesses had made the most of them. Upon the whole he could not conceive a grosser case of adultery, and Dr. Dillon was fully entitled to a sen tence of divorce. Mr. HAGGARD, for Mrs. Dillon, called the Court's at tention, in the first place, to the circumstance, that the libel did not plead the marriage in the usual form; there was a total omission of any previous courtship. The witness examined in support of the marriage, Mr. William Wingate, who was present at it, states that he had known Dr. Dillon for fifteen years, from the time he was curate of Willesden, consequently he was at the time of the marriage not less than forty; whereas Mrs. Dillon was at the time under twenty. Mr. Wingate further said, that he had heard from Dr. Dillon that she had been seduced, and had had a child by him, which was born when she was only 18. This having been the manner in which Dr. Dillon had conducted himself towards his wife before marriage, it was not to be wondered at that they should not have lived happily together. As to the terms on which they, lived, declara tions had been proved to have come from Dr. Dillon of his anxiety to get rid of his wife ; but it was not till May, 1841, that there was the slightest suggestion by Dr. Dillon of the remotest idea being entertained by him of her infidelity ; nothing had occurred to excite sus picion, no rumour, not a single instance of levity, fa miliarity, or proximate act leading up to the charge ; there was merely a single isolated imputation. The evidence of the witnesses in support of the charge was full of improbabilities and inconsistencies. The descrip tion of the female supposed to be Mrs. Dillon was meagre ; there was no account of her dress, her height, or even which eye was defective. Nothing, in fact, was 'Jutted by the witnesses as the ground of their belief of her identity with Mrs. Dillon but the loss of the eye. Mrs. Dillon might justly say, without any s ill y j oke, that it was " all my eye." The same defect - might attach to half the persons who visited the inn in December. Dr. Dillon did not make any inquiries as to the man by ivhom the female was accompanied. Mrs. Wilson, the landlady of the inn, said that when Dr. Dillon came there to make inquiries he told them that he had been repeatedly written to about his wife, and advised to watch her movements. Where were those letters ? Did they suggest a probable cause of inquiry, or the propriety of ceasing cohabitation? He stated that he paid no attention to these intimations till he received a letter from the friend of the gentleman who had been with his wife at the inn. Where, then, was the difficulty of ye f findingt Dr. D himoiultl,ona, though ndofbe inquisitive :ngi ngaaction against hi re specting his wife, askedno questions, as to the person who was with her. On the part of the wife the case was, that she had gone down to visit her mother on the 29th of December, and had slept at her house on that night arid every subsequent night - till Sunday, when she returned home; and -the witnesses deposed positively supporting their recollection of the day by facts and cir cumstances, that it was Tm?sday, the 29th, and Mrs. Drury had made a reemorandtun of the day when her daughter came. On the other hand, one of the wit nesses, Dix, stated that a person, whom she believed to be Dr. Dillon, had endelvo r. d to persuade her to say that it was Wednesday. Supposing, however, that the Court thought that the evidence in support of the libel preponderated, the question rmained, whether Dr. Dillon was not barred from remedy by his own conduct. He bad admitted that at lrist for one night after he had been informed of her gui:t, he had cohabited with his wife, having been, by his own account, frequently warned of her conduct. What difficulty could Dr. Dillon have found in vrithdrawing him self for one night, till. he hid .cwipleo ai THE SUN, LONDON. SATtTRDAY,:JANtTARY 29, _ 1842. inquiries. With his probable cause of knowl e d ge h e ought to have ceased cohabitation. Ther . e wits ho 'nsts.-ice of a husband coming betoie the Court for relief who, after be had reason f or grave susp i c i ons against his wife, continued to cohabit with her. But after his libel had been admitted in the suit, and the witnesses were being examined, on the 30th of May and the 4th of July, his conduct and deport ment towar d s hi s wife indicated that he considered her perfectly innocent. He came to the front of the house where she resided, and invited her to come out, walked with her arm in arm, conversed with her gaily, remained with her a con , siderable time ; they shook hands and kissed at parting, and behaved, as one of the witnesses observed "like lovers." Such conduct, though not amounting to direct condonation, established constructive condonation. Even if the Court should come to the conclusion that it must attach weight to the evidence on the libel, still the con duct and demeanour of Dr. Dillon showed that he was not sensible of any wrong done to him. The reply stands over till a future Court-day. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 23. IN THE MATTER OF JANES GOLDIE. The insolvent in this case was a distiller in White chapel. He was opposed by Mr. Cooke oa the behalf of an old woman, named Martha Stevens. It appeared that the insolvent, accompanied by a friend, was proceeding in a gig from his country-house at Wandsworth to his residence in town, when the op posing creditor, who was crossing the road at the time, was knocked down by the insolvent's horse. She was so severely injured that she was compelled to be taken to the London Hospital, w here it was found that her thigh bone was fractured. Proceedings were subsequently taken against him by Mrs. Stevens. when the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff of 200/. with costs. The insolvent immediately afterwards became bankrupt, but had not as yet got his certificate. On the verdict which had been obtained he was arrested, and he now applied to the Court to be discharged under the Act. The LEARNED COUNSEL for the opposing creditor con tended that, under the circumstances, the conduct of the insolvent called loudly for the reprobation of the Court, as he had, in defending the action brought against him by Mrs. Stevens, expended 301., with which he might and ought in justice to have relieved her. The LEARNED COMMISSIONER said, that under the discretionary clause of the Act, he found there was no provision to meet such a case as that before him. In all cases where damages had been awarded for Cruse. Con., or such charges, the Court seldom considered such cir cumstances in pronouncing its judgment. The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE JURISDICTION, OF MAGISTRATES IN CASES OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASTERS AND APPRENTICES. —The LORD MAYOR stated that the City Solicitor had received a letter from Devonport, on the subject of the authority of Magistrates in matters of dispute between masters and apprentices. The question was one of great interest and importance, particularly in .the extensive manufacturing towns of the three kingdoms, and the confirmation of Mr. Pearson's opinion by the law officers of.the Crown, would, no doubt, give high satisfaction. His Lordship then read the letter, which is as follows, in order that its important contents might be as publicly known as possible: Devonport, Jan. 22, 1842. is with pleasure I inform you that I had the honour of forwarding a memorial, from the merchants, manufacturers, and tradesmen of the borough of Devonport, to Sir George Grey, Bart., M.P., for pre sentation to the Secretary of State, praying the inter ference of her Majesty's Government on the subject of the Jurisdiction of Magistrates in cases of difference between masters and apprentices, where no premium has been given to the former ; and that Secretary Sir James Grt.ham has been pleased to submit the question to the Law Officers of the Ciown. . . . And that I have — received a communication through the hands of Sir George Grey, from the Home-office, dated Jan. 17, 1842, that the Law Officers of the Crown have reported on the above subject, and are of opinion, that the Magistrates have jurisdiction. I beg to say, that you are at liberty to make what use you think proper of this communication ; also if a duplicate of the original papers from the Home-office, will be of any service to you, they shall be forwarded at your request. —I have the honour to be, Sir, yours respectfully, HECTOR MUNRO CROCKER. To Charles Pearson, Esq., the City of London Solicitor. His LORDSHIP observed that the communication was likely to produce a very favourable effect, as numbers of apprentices had in various places manifested a very formidable spirit of insubordnation, in consequence of the general impression that an apprentice with whom no pre mium is given was under no obligation to attend to the commands of his master. Mr. Hobler said he was present when the City Soli citor delivered his opinion, and his Lordship acted upon it, by sentencing a refractory apprentice to imprison ment ; and he had learned since that that decision had completely changed the tone of those apprentices whose masters were humane and considerate enough not to re quire any premium. BOW-STREET. Baron Charles de Behr, a native of Germany, was on Thursday placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with obtaining from Mr.W tin. Osborne Rich, a gentleman holding a situation in the War Office, the sum of 501. on the 18th of December, and a further sum of s€l. on the 20th of December, by false and fraudulent means. Mr. Steele conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bow ditch appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Rieh being sworn, said he was intimately ac quainted with Mr. Snow, the banker, and his wife, but was not aware that any proceedings were pending be tween them in the Ecclesiastical Court previous to the 18th of December, on which day the prisoner, with whom he had 110 acquaintance, called on him at the War-office, and said he had come from Mrs. Snow, who told him she required some money for the purpose of obtaining certain papers of great importance to her. Having presented his card, and introduced himself as the lady's friend, he said, " I suppose you know what is going on ? " No, I do not," replied witness, " but I'm very anxious to know." He then said there were certain letters in Portland-place, of great consequence, which should be obtained from the housekeeper there. He also said, " I have advanced all the money I had in her ser vice, and must require of you the sum of 3001. or 500/. for the purpose I have mentioned." Witness told him it would be impossible for him to command either of the sums mentioned; upon which he said, " Damn it, man, we must have money; what can you advance?" Witness observed, that at this season of the year it was very in convenient to make up so much cash, but perhaps he could find him a less sum, and he handed him 50/. in notes (having first taken the precaution to mark their num bers), with which he went away, saying he would call again. He accordingly came again on the 20th of Decem ber, to say the housekeeper was not satisfied with the amount she had received, and as the papers were of the utmost importance she should have more ; to which wit ness made some demur, but ultimately gave the prisoner 451. in notes, the numbers of which he took, together with five sovereigns, with which he went away, promis ing to get the letters in question. In a few days after the prisoner again called, and said he had ob,amed all the letters, which were safe ; and, in addition to the sums witness had given him for the housekeeper, he (the prisoner) had advanced her 1301., together with a promissory-note for the remainder. On the 30th of De cember the prisoner paid another visit at the War-office, and complained that Mrs. Snow was in great distress for money, that she could not get on, and that she must have 1601., which witness said he could not give, as he had already advanced all he could command. The prisoner then begged witness would accept a bill of ex change for the amount, which he declined, as he knew nothing about bill transactions ; but, on prisoner's ap - pealing to his feelin g s, by saying it would be very unkind to Mrs. Snow to refuse, he was prevailed upon to accept a bill for the amount required. The prisoner then told him he might make his mind easy, as he would be re , sponsible, at the same time giving him an undertaking to that effect. The prisoner procured a stamp, and said that he would be in the receipt of a large sum of money in January, when ho would answer it. Witness had re peatedly seen the prisoner since, but did not discover that he had been deceived until within the last ten days. Cross-examined—The prisoner gave an undertaking and the bill was not yet due. The two 501. were not in tended as ii temporary accpmmodatio.n for him. Mr. Bowditeh here handed in a letter, which the prosecutor admitted he had written to the prisoner, to show that by the purport of it the money advanced was merely in the shape of a loan. Mr. Steele said the question before the Court was not to whom the credit had been given, but was such credit obtained by means of fraud. Mr. Rich being recalled, said he would not have parted with the two 50/. had the prisoner not told him the money was for the use of Mrs. Snow, and nut as the prisoner pleased to apply it. Mrs. Georgiana Snow pro ved that she did not know the prisone r . The prisoner here shook his head and smiled. Witness did not remember ever to have seen him before, nor did she ever authorise him or any other per son to apply to Mr. Rich for her, and if he obtained any Money- on such a representation it was false. Mr. Bowditch—Do you mean to say you never have met the prisoner before ? Witness— Never. den A y f i t n e Mr. HALL having perused the letter put in for the de fence, s g a r id ea t t he di l s ai c i r g e u p a a g n e ey in h i e t e an s d ho th ul e d le g t o te b r e s f h or o e ulda t w w a e s e eirty and the a s n i d i there evidence givett Jury, bhyutthitewparsosaecutor. bailable Toffheenceaes, be annexed to the depositions. Mr. Bowditch having recalled Mrs. Snow, asked her if she did not meet the prisoner short y l e y a a rs fte in r h th er is return from Paris on the Bth of December last, to which she answered in the negative.

UNION-HALL. Henry Headington ' a young man in the servic e of 7,1 f. Cook, a sur geon , i n Stamford-street, was charged with wounding his employer, and attempting to stab a police- In t unsio n in taking him into custody. From Mr. Cotik 3 s. eviddilde, it appeal=ed that the pri soner had been in his employment four y , ars, and con ducted himself with great propriety up to last Christ mas, on which occasion he got drunk, and while in that state acted with great violence, but he was not dis missed from his situation, owing to the respect felt for his family. Since that period, the prisoner went on very well up to the preceding afternoon. When Mr. • Cook returned home from visiting his patients, he found him in a state of intoxication, and desired hi m t o l eave the house. The prisoner, however, refused, and snatch. ing up a knife, with dreadful imprecations threat ened to stab any one who approached him. When a policeman was called in, the prisoner still flourished the knife about, but the former took an opportu nity of seizing the hand in which he' held the knife, and held him in that position. The prisoner, however, con trived to slip the weapon into the hand which was disen gaged, and he then made three different stabs at the policeman, none of which, fortunately, took effect, when Mr. Cook, seeing the prisoner bent on mischief, rushed upon him, and, in attempting to wrest the knife from his grasp, was cut severely across the hands. Both Mr. Cook's hands were strapped up • with adhesive plaister. He added, that he was convinced that the prisoner would have committed murder, if the weapon had not been wrested from his hands at the time, and that in getting it away from him his own hands were also cut. The prisoner said he was intoxicated, and was sorr for what had happened. The Magisti•tite thought that it was such a case of out rageous violence on ihe part of the prisoner, that he ought to be sent for trial. Mr. Cook, however, having expressed a wish to have a summary punishment inflicted, the Ma gistrate inflicted the full penalty of 51. on the prisoner, besides adjudging him to find sureties for his good be haviour for the next twelve months.
