ILLORILIS v. DAVIS. His LORDSHIP stated,that this was an application for the new trial of an issue directed by this Court, in which the question was, whether or not the plain tiff was the legitimate son of the late Mr. Morris of Shrewsbury, and his wife. By a voluntary separa tion the husband and wife lived for a considerable time separated from each other. They resided at a distance from each other of 13 miles. They se parated in 1788, and lived separated for many years. A servant of Mr. Morris named Austin, left his master at about the same time that Mrs. Morris did; he went and lived with her in a state of adultery. In the latter end of 1792 the plaintiff was born. At this time, and for a year before, the adulterous intercourse was going on. Though the wife was separated from her husband, still they were not on very unfriendly terms ; and as they occasionally saw each other, the question was, whether there was suf ficient evidence to rebut the legal presumption that sexual intercourse took place between the hus band and wife at the time of the procreation of the plaintiff. There was no evidence that ever the husband and wife had slept together ]n the spring of 1792. It was p rove d th at Austin and Mrs. Morris had been in bed together ; that the greatest care was taken to con ceal the birth of the plaintiff from the husband ; that as soon as he was born he was sent to the father and mother of Austin, where he was brought up, and went to school by the name of Austin; that in the registry of his baptism he was called a base-born child; that Austin always treated him as and ca ll ed him his son : that when he went to the West Indies in a military character, where he died, he bequeathed the whole of his property to the boy, passing over indigent parents; that Mr. Morris, up to the sitne of his death, never knew of the birth of the Plaintiff; that having heard a rumour that his wife had had a child,he questioned her as to the fact, which she strenuously and vehemently denied, and he made lie will, leaving the whole of his property to his daughter and nephews. But it appeared that witnesses who had spoken to most important cir cumstances had been contradicted at the trial, so much so, that it was impossible the Court could take the verdict of the Jury without the further con sideration of another Jury, as the foundation of its proceeding finally to dispose of the right to the property in question, which was of considerable im portance, and therefore his Lordship felt bound to tend the question t o b e tr i e d aga i n. In thus sending the question to be tried again, his Lordship begged it to be most distinctly understood that he meant to deliver no opinion upon the rights of the plaintiff or defen dant. If the plaintiff could, by evidence, clearly and satisfactorily to the minds of the jury, show that the legal presumption of sexual intercourse between Mr. and Mrs. Morris, in the spring of 1792, could not be counteracted, he had a right to contend for, and have all the benefit the law gave him. All that the Court meant by sending the question to another trial, was to have further light thrown upon various points, and if the jury again found a verdict in favour of the plaintiff, it - would be very difficult for this Court not to decide that the plaintiff was legitimate. lis Lotpetur. wished th e i ssue to be tried again in August, and reserved the consideration of the costs till after the trial.

The Rotterdam had on board a general cargo, valued at 7,5801., and a detachment of Dutelt troops. I- 3 0er all the circumstances, considering that the fishing smacks had lost their cargoes, consisting of fish, and that the crews underwent great fatigue, and were exposed to considerable 'peril in assisting the Rotterdam, the Learned Counsel submitted that 40004 was as small a sum as the Court ought to award. CASTLE. (From the Elgin Courier, of Friday, a new Journal.) On Wednesday last the inhabitants of Fochabers, and its neighbourhood, were thrown into a state of the utmost confusion and consternation, by a report of Gordon Castle's being on fire. Immense num bers immediately hastened to the spot, and found that the report was unhappily too correct. The first indications appeared about half-past four in the morning ; and every exertion was instantly made to counteract its further progress, but without effect. The conflagration increased with indescribably ra pidity. A party of preventive men, under the su perintendence of Mr. Glover, perceived from Gar mouth the dense clouds of black smoke which it emitted, and proceeded to the Castle with all pos sible expedition to render whatever assistance was in their power; as did also a party of men in the preventive service, stationed at Buckie, under the superintendence of Mr. Trench. The fire engine belonging to the Castle was plied with unceasing constancy, and all the resources which an immense crowd of spectators could command, were put in re quisition. Still, however, the flames raged with increased violence. In the course of a few hours, the whole eastern wing was enveloped in one general blaze. The scene at this moment was inconceivably grand. The flames darted for a considerable time through numerous windows, and then found their way with a tremendous blaze through the roof. At length a great portion of the roof fell in with a tre mendous crash; and the spectators, dreading every moment, lest the fiery element should communicate with the body of the Castle, were obliged to cut down the colonnade which unites it with the eastern wing. This was speedily accomplished by means of hatchets, and such other instruments as could be pro cured at the time. By the vigorous and unceasing exertions of all present capable of affording as sistance, the fire was got under about twelve o'clock at noon. The promptitude and efficiency of the aid which was rendered in this critical emergency, by Messrs. Glover and Trench, and of the spectators in general, are beyond all praise. Several of the men in their anxiety to arrest tile progress of the flames, endangered their own lives; but we are happy to be able to state that none were lost. The whole of the eastern wing of this beautiful and magnificent superstructure is now a scene of entire devastation. There is something extremely striking and melancholy in the contrast which this part of Gordon Castle presents to the rest of this imposing edifice, and to the indescribable beauty of the surrounding scenery. The destruction of property occasioned by this melancholy occurrence is immense. It is not, how ever, yet ascertained in all its extent. In one room there were nine valuable paintings entirely de stroyed; and among other articles of furniture were the camp bedsteads of the late lamented Sir John Moore. We are happy, however, to be able to state, that none of his late Grace's papers were lost ;—they were fortunately in the western part of the Castle. Several other witnesses were called to prove the delivery of the letter-bag safe, with all the letters received, at the Post-office. In the sorting-room it was proved that there would be 150 persons at the sorting time. There were twenty facers and three stampers, all of whom might come in contact with the letters before they left the Post-office. The note was proved never to have arrived at its desti nation. A better idea of the extent of this mournful devas tation will be formed, when we state that the eastern wing is two stories in height, and about one hundred and ninety feet in length, andseventy in breadth, It is fortunate that the wind was from a north-west direction ; for had it been from any other quarter, as it was the two preceding days, no human effort could have saved the whole building from destruction; it would at this moment have Leen an entire heap of ruins. Among the apartments destroyed are the late Duke's parlour and bed-room. Dr. DopsoN - (with Whom vvas Dr. ITAGCAii) on behalf 91 the owners of the Rntfri.dani, contended William Cope, a City Marshal, was sent for on 10th February last to the Post-office ; he was directed to search the prisoner; he told him to take his money out of his pocket, and he took a 51. note out. It was this note. He then said that he had taken it from Mrs. Brookes, at his landlord's, at Nelson-square. He had paid a bill for her, and had taken the note in exchange. He took him into custody at that time. The Solicitor of the Post-office came and went with witness to Nelson-square, to search his lodgings. Prisoner went with them. Mr. Peacock then said to the prisoner that the account that he had given him was false, as Mrs. Brookes denied having given it to him. The prisoner then said that he would not say where he had got it. Cross-examined by air. LAW.—Mrs. Brookes is not here, although the solicitor for the prosecution knew where she lived. Mr. LAW here submitted that the indictment could not he sustained, by the way in which the property was laid. It was laid to be the property of Messrs. Codd and Co. or of Messrs. Henderson and Co., when, in fact, it was belonging to Lieut. Fielding, the officer to whom the 5/. was transmitted, Messrs. Henderson and Co. being his trustees. It could not be laid as the property of Messrs. Codd and Co., because the fact of sending it in a letter ex onerated them from all responsibility. Messrs. Henderson and Co. were not responsible for an act which the Lieute nant had requested them to perform, therefore the Lieute nant was alone at the risk of the conveyance. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL contended, that the objection was of no avail, and the Learned Judge decided that in the eye of the law the note was a chattel belonging to Hender son and Co. the moment it was put into the letter. The case for the prosecution being closed, the prisoner, on being called en for his defence, produced a great quan tity of papers which he wished to read to the jury. Mr. LAW wished to see it before it was read, and finding that he could not read it over in any time which the Court could allow, intimated to the prisoner that if he read it it must rest on his own responsibility. The prisoner replied that he would take the risk upon himself. He then read it in an audible voice, stated, that if he had taken it, he must have been instantly detected, as there were so many per sons always near him, when the letters were passing through his hands at the rate of 50 in a minute, and if he had attempted to examine any letter it must have been in stantly seen by the presidents. He contended, that no clerk iu that situation, had ever been guilty of such a theft, and that the letter had never reached the post-office, or he should never have stood at that bar. He accounted for the possession of the note, by saying, that he received it in playing at Rouge et Nob', in a German house, near St. James's-square. The secrecy and disguise assumed by all persons frequenting those houses, had prevented him from finding any witnesses to the fact. He bad been sent for by the Solicitor's Officer, and after being questioned, sent away to his own officer and he left it to the Jury, whether a guilty person would have kept the note in his possession with so many opportunities of getting rid of it. The prisoner then called Charles Compton, of the Post office—Knew Mr. Stow, who had made inquiries for the prisoner on the 12th of February; told the prisoner when he arrived of that fact; prisoner went to Mr. Stow, re turned again, and had ample opportunity to destroy, and get rid of the note. Cross-examined by the Soucrroa-GENERAL—Did not s ay what he wanted prisoner for, as be did not know him self ; could not say that it was usual• for Mr. Stow to send for clerks in the Post-office business. He then called various persons, who proved that emu sands were constantly passing through his hands. The Rev. Mr. Sockett, the Rector of Petworth, knew him from his childhood ; he had always borne the very best character for honesty. Several most respectable witnesses confirmed this testimony. In order to protect his Grace's property, (which is at present exposed), the superintendants of the preventive service men, whose names have already been mentioned, have appointed a party belonging to them, to be in close attendance at the Castle, until every thing is removed beyond the reach of danger. A circumstance which increases this calamity, is the peculiar moment at which it has happened. The remains of the deceased Luke are now betwixt Edinburgh and Aberdeen, on their way to Gordon Castle, where it is intended they shall lie for some time in state ; and his present G race an d t h e Duchess are posting from G eneva to the Castle, with all possible haste.—No conjecture whatever can be formed regarding the manner in which this ( 1 / i_ tru th,79 ••••ctive •• • has originated, AGGREGATF.

The trade during the present week has been confined to the needy consumers, who are forced to purchase for im mediate consumption, and the few sales effected were at prices similar to last Saturday. We bad a full attendance of millers and dealers at market to-day ; the show of Eng lish and Irish Wheat was small, Foreign appears in suf ficient q uantities to supply the present demand : all sorts of Wheat may be noted 2d. per 701 b. cheaper ; grinding Barley is likewise 2d. or 3d. below last Saturday's rates, and Oats are further reduced in price Id. per 451 b. Th ere is nothing passing in the Pea trade; Beans are also dull sale at i s . to 2s. per quarter below last Saturday's prices. The hot weather contracts the present demand for Malt, the brewers and dealers not caring to hold a stock; how ever the prices continue as last noted. The sale of Flour is slack, and some millers are pushing trade at Is. below last week's rates ; Oatmeal is full Is. per load cheaper, and dull sale. _ Customary Bushel. Wheat (70113.) s. d. to s. d.

A gentleman holding an official situation in the Colonial Office, left that office at a late hour on Friday evening, in company with Mr. CANTINI, an Italian mes senger, attached to the lonian Government, charged with despatches, which were understood to he of an important nature, from Viscount GODERICII, Principal Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, to Sir FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. The Marquis of LANSDOWN transacted business on Saturday at the office of Secretary of State for the Home Department. Mr. WILMOT HORTON left town on Satur day for Cirencester.

Among others were— Prince Esterhazy, Princess Lieven, Duke and Duchess of Wellington, Countess Dowager of Clare, Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Al vanley, Mr. de Roos, and Mr. Grosvenor. The Hon. EDWARD PETRE gave an elegant entertainment on Saturday to above one hundred of tb' leading Fashionatiles. Although the invitations were not received until the same day, scarcely was there one excuse. THE NEW BISIIOP OF ROCHESTER.-011 Saturday, the Vicar-General of the Province of Canterbury (Dr. ARNOLD) held a Court of Peculiars at Bow Church, the ancient Court for this Province, when the election of the Hon. and Rev. Hcc ft PERCY, D.D., to the See of Rochester, was confirmed in the customary form. The consecration of the Right Rev. Prelate took place yesterday at Lambeth Palace. The Grand Sessions' dinner given ,by the Right Worshipful the Mayoa. of Newcastle, (ARCHIBALD REED, Esq.), on Thursday last, in that town, was nu merously attended.

NITCNE7% ;SIN WAY.- sox, Esqrs., and the 4mount of pers.:m.o , Within the pro vince of Canterbury was sworn 'er 600,0001. A SPQR INTELLIGENCE.—The ffi O E TR ce X rsof one rill Hussars are now training their ctegers to - run on the heath at Hounslow. Major BACON is preparing splendid dresses for the jockies. Some of the Officers will ride their own horses ; they will run in Sep tember. Marquees will be erected, and a dejeune given to the Ladies. THE PARK AND THE GARDENS.--A visible diminution was observed yesterday in the gay cavalcade; yet still the fashionables of the highest order linger, as if loth to depart. Indeed many have expressed an intention of continuing in town till the ensuing month is far ad vanced. At five o'clock there was a double line of carriages approaching Kensington Gardens : at the hour of six, the Long Walk was nearly full. Great taste in dress. We believe that fashion never presented a less di versified picture of caprice than at the present moment. The magnificent hat now worn, although large, is so judi ciously formed and shaded by its ribbons of gossamer, that the effect on the face is excellent. HIGH OFFICES.—THE BISHOPS.—It has been said (I believe by D'Alembert) that the highest offices in Church and State resemble a pyramid, whose top is ac cessible to only two sorts of animals, eagles and reptiles. My pinions were not strong enough to pounce upon its top, and I scorned by creeping to ascend its summit. Not that a Bishop r i c was t h en or ever an o bj ect o f m y ambition ; for I considered the acquisition of it as no proof of personal merit, inasmuch as Bibhopries are as often given to the flattering dependants or to the unlearnPd younger branches of noble families, as to men of the greatest erudition ; and I considered the possession of it as a frequent oc cas i on of personal demerit, for I saw the generality of the Bishops bartering their independence and the dignity o f t h e i r order prelacy, for the chance of a translation, and pollutin g G ospe l hu mility by th e pride of - -- , Bishop watson.

Davis, the Manchester hero, will be present on this occasion, and several new matches are expected to be made., Bill Savage attended at Josh Hudson's on Tuesiay even ing, to make a match with Ike Dodd, accordin to Dodd's challenge, but the latter did no t thew. Young Spring will take a benefit tills evening at the King's Head, High Holborn, whet, independent of a spar ring expedition, he will show off some of his feats of jug gling, balancing, &c. He gives a list of fourteen pugi lists, with any one of ' , whom he is ready to make a match. Reuben Martin i:4 prepared to fight any man in Eng land, and give half u stone, for 100/. or 2001.

Young Dutch Sam has now been challenged both by Bishop Sharpe and Cy Davis, but has not yet, come to the scratch.

Baldwin has sent us a letter, in which he signifies his in tention to decline fighting altogether, as his friends think it is better for him to go into business. lie expresses his deep sense of gratitude for the liberal manner in which he has been supported during his milling career, and his reso lution to do all he can to,support the Ring. PITT'S OPINION OF LORD ELDON.—It IS said by the writer, that Mr. Pitt had a low opi nion of the Ex-Chancellor. " I can see nothlng in u y n o t u i l a r p b r t o t eg i e . ' a ' w s a i i s d t h M r u r s . t Pittunder to his Lord n : ; low. " Nor can an yb o dy else," was the reply ; The Parliamentary sup port," says the writer, " of Sir J. Scott, Was a "—" nothing in the eyes of the Minister ; and so littl e 0 1u h r is slow but sure. scruple had the latter in *hewing this opinion, that Mr. Pitt, on one occasion, when his Solici tor-General had wasted a couple of hours in praise of some vital measure of the Government, was fain to rise next in succession after the Learned Gentleman to dd a ress the House, a breach of etiquette, by which the Minister con fessed that the labours of his immediate prede cessor ought to go all for nothing." It is hardly possible to conceive two men so unlike in mina and disposition as Mr. Pitt and Lord Eldon. Mr. Pitt had the utmost contempt for the qualities for which Lord Eldon was distinguished ; and the appearance of his Lordship at a Pitt dinner, reminds me of the supposed necessity for the Devil's presence (or appearance by proxy) at the canonizatio of a Saint,Life of LQr4 Eldon,
