About half-past three o'clock the KING held a Court, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Post-. master-General, the Secretary of State for Ireland , the Vayinaster of the Forcei, the Earl of Caattsti,, the piaster of the Horse, the Grooni of the Stole, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward, the Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen Pensioners, Lord HILL (Gold Stick in waiting), the Marquis of QUEENSBERRY (Lord in waiting), and Sir CHARLES PAGET (Groom in waiting). The KING gave audiences to Earl Garr, the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, Lord POLkY, the Earl of ALiEtiLARLt, the Marquis of WINCHESTER, the Marquis WELLisi,Ei-, the Marquis of LA NSDLt . VNE, Viscount GODERI'cII, Viscount PALMERSTON, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and the Duke of The KING held a Privy tduncil, at which the King's Speech was finally arranged aild agreed hpon for the open ing of the Session of Parliament this day. The Court broke up about half-past five o'clock. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND and Prince GroitGE arrived in town from Kew, and visited their MAJESTIES. Their Royal Highnesses returned to Kew in the evening. The Duke of Susstt and the Princess SOrliiA also Visited the KING and QUEEN. Grand Parliamentary dinners, on the most splendid scale, were given by Earl GREY and Viscount Ammar last evening, at their respective residences in Downing-street, to the Ministerial supporters in both Houses of Parlia ment; by E irl GREY, as First Lord of the Treasury, to a party of Members of the House of Peers; and by Viscount Atanoar, as Ministerial leader in the House of Commons. The guests at both parties were in full court • dress. His MAJESTY'S speech on opening the session of Parliament this day was read by the noble hosts to their respective parties. Among the party at Earl GREY'S were his Royal High ness the Duke of SUSSEX, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke s of DEVONSHIRE, NORFOLK, RICHMOND; Marquises CLANRICARDE, WELLESLEY, LANSDOWNE ; Earl MUL GRAVE, SEFTON, BURLINGTON, CAMPERDOWN, ALBE MARLE, CARLISLE ; Lords LTTTLEION, DOVER, NArIER, AUCKLAND, FOLEY, MELBOURNE, GODERICH, and DURHAM. The party at Viscount ALTHORP'S consisted of the Speaker of the House of Common,; Viscounts DUNCAN NON. HOWICE, PALMERSTON ; Lords CAVENDISH, NU GENT, JOHN RUSSELL; Sirs F. VINCENT, T. DENMAN, J. GRAHAM, W. HORNE Honourables G. LAMB, G. PONSONLY, BARING, H. BERNAL, T. CREEVEY, E. ELLICE, JEF FREY, S.RICE, SMITH, STANLEY, and C. TENNYSON. BRIGHTON, DEC. 5. At a quarter to nine o'clock this morninz, their MA• JESTIES left the Pavilion in a carriage and four, with two outriders, for St. James's Palace. Their MAJESTIES will remain four (lays in London, and then return to Brighton. Sir FREDERICK WATSON, Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, the Earl and Coumtess of MAYO, and Sir ANDREW BARNARD, took their departure immediately after their MAJESTIES, for St. James's Palace. Yesterday the KING, accompanied by the Princess AUGUSTA, took an airing in a carriage and four, with two outriders, along the West Cliff to Hove, from thence to Kemp-town, and returned to the Palact:, after four o'clock. Every demonstration of loyalty and affection was paid to his MAJESTY by the people, which be returned in the kindest manner. His Royal Highness Prince GEORGE of Cambridge walked out, accompanied by Colonel Sir JAMES Rairt,tErr, and the Rev. Mr. WOOD. The Princess LOUISE drove out in a carriage and four, along the East and West Cliff, attended by the Countess of MAYO. The Suite and Household formed the Royal dinner party last evening. It must be a gratification to the people to know, that his MAJESTY enjoys excellent health at present. The Scotch Greys were reviewed last week by Major General DALBIAc. _ _ Arrivals continue : among the latest were Lord ARTHUR HILL, Lord ALLEN ? and Mr. CHARLES GRANT. Lord A. FITZCLARENCE will leave for St. James's Palace to-morrow morning. DOVER, DEC. 4. Sir Henry Parnell came over in the steam-packet from Calais yesterday, and to-day Mr. C. P. Thomson was fully expected, but has not arrived. The latter gentleman, as being one of the representatives of this town, will be beset by a host of his constituents, wishing to obtain the situation of agent for packets at this port, which is ex pected to be vacant by the exit of Sir Thomas Mantell. We are not aware whether, as heretofore, borough patro nage will prevail, or if the Duke of Richmond will " do as he likes with his own." We should remark, that the retention of Sir Thomas Mantel!, in the situation at an exorbitant salary, has been one of those instances of which the public have cause to complain. If justice and the welfare of the service were the grounds of proceeding in filling up this appointment, from what we have learned, a gentleman who has virtually conducted the business under the covert signature of Sir Thomas Mantell, with great ability for a number of years, ought to succeed, and be paid only at such rate as is consistent with the present views of national economy. Here is a proper opportunity for his Grace to act upon the assurance he lately gave on the subject. The quarantine restrictions against colliers, from the north, is likely to be severely felt at this port. NEW BANKRUPTCY COURT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sra,—Having, as the Honorary Secretary of the Corn mittee appointed at the meeting of merchants, bankers, and traders, held at the London Tavern in January last, paid some attention to the progress of the Act lately passed for establishing the new Court, I can with confidence as sure the public, through the medium of your Journal, in contradiction to many rumours now afloat, that there is no legal defect in the Act, so as to render it necessary to ap ply to Parliament for any amendment or alteration to put it in force, and that it will come into full operation on the day stated in the Act, vie , the 11th of January next. And as to the official assignees, a general impression has gone abroad that the gentlemen to whom the selection has been referred were only to nominate 100 persons, from whom the Lord Chancellor would appoint the number limited by the Act. This is equally erroneous. Those gentlemen will not only have the selection, but the Lord Chancellor will appoint those whom they may select. Your most obedient, - Chatham-place, Dec. 3. W. C. BOUSFIELD, We have just seen a tastefully executed likeness of his MAJESTY, encased in an embossed star, and surmounted with the names of the Members of the Ca binet. The design is ingenious, and the likeness tolerably correct. CHRISTMAS FARF.—" It iS not enough to possess the good thiogs appertaining to the festive season of Christmas ; if we are but imperfectly informed as to the manner of turning them to wholesome account by proper cookery. To all families desirous of giving their friends a handsome feast, and, what is infinitely better, a well dressed one, we would say, ' Read Dolby's Dictionary of Family Cookery.' Few of the minor ills of life are more vexatious than the discovery at table of a fine j o i nt or other dish ruined past recovery by ki t chen - ignorance. ' Avoid the danger of this,' we repeat, by studying DOL. BY'S golden roles. "—Morning Paper. LEEDS POLITICAL UNION.—It is now uni versally allowed that our Mayor and Corporation, in telling the Committee of the Leeds Political Union that that body was illegal, made a grand legal blunder. Their Tory speed to put down a Reforming Association led them to mistake the meaning of a very clear proclamation. They no doubt interpreted the document as though it had proceeded from their quondam friends of the CAsTLK REAGIi and SIDMOUTII Administration, who would have put down all the Unions together. No one now questions the correctness of the meaning which we attached to the proclamation last week. The Committee of the Leeds Union have indeed got an opinion from Mr. HARDY, which tells them nothing; for they unfortunately asked the Learned Gentleman whether " the proclamation" affected them, instead of asking whether their rules were according to law. Mr. HARDY replies that the proclama tion does not make law, bur only declares whit the Lw is, without telling his clients, for he was not asked, whether or not their rules were within the law. But in fact the Union need no opinion on the subject. The legality of their association is as clear as day-light.—Leeds Mercury. FINE ART S. NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.

TATTERSALL'S. Several subscribers who have been staying in the country since the Newmarket Meeting were in attendance yesterday, and busi ness, without being of any great interest, was brisker than for the last three or four weeks. Margrave went back a point or two for the Derby, but will no doubt be in his old station next betting-day ; no other changes of importance. The odds closed as follow : THE DERBY, 1832. 9 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Beiram 11 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Non Compos 11 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Dulcinta colt 12 to 1 agst Mr. Dilly's MargraVe 20 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Pastille colt 1000 to 20 agst Colt by Muley—Eliza (taken) OAKS. 400 to 00 apt Mr. Chifney's Emiliana (taken) 9 to 1 agst Captain Byng's Dryad (offered) 1000 to 25 agst Margrave winning the Derby and Emiliana the Oaks (taken): Amongst the recent tales of racers are the Hon. E. Petre's Rowton (winner of the St. Leger, in 1829), to Mr. Chifney for 1000 guineas, and Captain Rous's Crutch, to Lord Mountcharies, for 600 guineas. Rowton is now at Newmarket. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--Mr.MACREADY appeared last night as Richard the Third, for the first time, we believe, for seven years. He went through the part with spirit and discrimination, and was much ap plauded. At Brighton, the other day, Dr. HYDE being asked by a lady what the cholera morbus was, that seemed to distract all the world ? instantly replied, "My dear Madam, it is an invention that has been well advertised." The Public (especially the Ladies) are re quested to notice the following : To Messrs. C. and A. OLDRIDOE, 1, Wellington-street, Strand. 51R5,...-1 take the liberty of addressing my thanks to you for the great benefit received by my daughter from the application of your truly valuable Balm of Columbia. The hair of my youngest girl completely came off different parts of the head, and there was also a total loss of hair from the eyebrows. She was induced, at the instance of a friend, to try your Balm, and after using two bottles the efli'cts were most surprising, for in a very short space of time the hair grew in a regular healthy state. 1 think it but justice to yourselves and the public to add my testimony to the virtues of your truly inestimable Balm, and you have my full permission to give this letter that publicity which you think proper.—l am yours, &c. (Signed) HENRY HAWKES. Pen-street, Boston, Lincolnshire, June I, 1829. OLDRIDGE'S Balm prevents the hair from turning grey, and the first application makes it curl beautifully, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of certificates of the first respectability are shown by the Pro prietors, C. and A. OLDRIDGE, 1, Wellington-street, Strand, where the Balm is sold, ;lad by all respectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders. Price Ss. 6d., 68., and I Is. per Bottle. CALCULATIONS RESPECTING FEMALES.-- That the ladies ars peculiarly attached to watering-places is attested by the following facts Females. Males. Population of Brighton 2',418 18,216 Cheltenham 12,889 10,05.3 Bath 22,476 15,587 Hastings Southampton 10,679 8,645 It is very curious, but it seems to be substantially true, that the rotten boroughs have been all nearly deserted by the fair sex. There is nothing like the same proportion of ladies in them as compared with the males, that we observe in most other places. We take a few examples:— Males. Females. Boroughbridge &amber llO 8 Heytesbury 776 769 St. Germains 995 919 We think that the ladies also exhibit, in the choice of their places of residence, a very natural preference for the de lights of a town. It is quite remarkable, for instance, that in Durham town the number of females should be 5,152 to 4,117 males ; whereas, if we proceed to its suv , urbs, we find that the number is nearly the same as that of the men. In the town of Windsor the females are 3,213, the males 2,916 ; but in the delightful suburbs we find the ladies amounting to no more than 1,297, whilst the gentlemen are 1,235. In Montgomery and Great Yarmouth there is a perfect equality between the numbers of each sex.—Monthly Review. LAUGHABLE ESCAPE.--We are assured that the following laughable affair is an absolute fact :—A corporal and two privates, having in their custody a de serter, were enjoying themselves at the Shakspeare Inn, Ardwick, on Tuesday last. The deserter amused his mi litary guardians with several entertaining sleight-of-hand tricks, but, being encumbered with the steel ruffles, com plained he could not display his skill to advantage, and re quested to have his hands at liberty whilst he exhibited a favourite trick, which he described. This being agreed to, he proceeded to tie the bands of the three soldiers and his own together with a handkerchief, which he was wholly to loose with a gentle stroke. The magic knots were tied, but, on being shook, the knots all remained firm except the one which held the deserter. This fell asunder with a touch ; and, quick as an arrow, he lifted up the sash, and darted head -foremost through the window, leav ing his keepers ragin g at each otter, and tugging like ill coupled hounds, before they thought of cutting asunder their bonds, which having effected, they commenced a warm chace ; but the game having got the start, reedered their present efforts ineffectual.—Manchester Advertiser. THE CHOLERA MORBUg. TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN. Sza,—We have this day receiv-ed the answer of the London Central Board of Health on the case of Jordan, which has excited so much alarm—in my opinion, ground.' lessly‘ It is as follows ; " Central Board of Health, Council-office,.

" SlR,—The Central Board of Health lia:ing had undti consideration your letter of the 30th ult., transmitting the particulars of the case of Robert Jordan (which occurred at Newcastle on the 26th ult.), a 3 detailed hy Mr. Da vison, and confirmed by Drs. M'Whirter and Wthtman, together 'ith all the documents connected with it, lam directed to acquaint you that the Board have come to the conclusion, and which they ha - * communicated to the Lords of the Council; that the statements referre..! to are such as, with the opinion of Dr. Daun given at Newcastle, render Jordan's case highly suspicions, " I have the honour to be, Si+, " Your most obedient humble servatO., " W. MACLEAN, Secretary. " Arch. Reid, Esci i . , Mayor of Newcastle." The medical gentlemen at ttei+ sheeting here thought the case suspicious, Dr. Daun thought it susiioVr.t. , i, and !liow the. Central Board of Health say they think if " highly" euspiciiins , Notwithstanding this suspicion in favour of the case having been one of snasmodic or Asiatic cholera, we have this gratifying fact, that thong.: Gaye have elapsed, no case in the slightest degree resembling ma= !ignant cholera has occurred. This is preferable to any theory. t need ocarcely add, that the people of New castle are extremely indignant is t the!r trade should, for a simple case of suspicion, be subject to the safr'.e testrie; tions as the trade of Sunderland, where new cases of Asiatic cho'era are confessedly occurring every day. 'the Committee appointed by the public meeting held on Wednesday last, have s 4 liplied out of the funds sub.. scribed great quantities of bedding dnd torlfortab'e clothing to the poor, which must be of immense benefit at this season. The report from Sunderland, bearing date Dec. 3, which we have just received, informs us that there are seven new cases, four teco; , edec; six deaths, and forty-one cases re maining under treatment. it ecrst about six weeks since the disease made its appearance there; and, litrlging from the experience of the past, it is to be hoped it must speedily have its decline and fall. I remain, Sir, your obedient, bumble servant, PIIILALETHES. fSrewcastle• upon-Tyne, bee. 4, 183/. CHOLERA MORBUS. (From the Times.) SIJNDERLAND, DEC. 3. A day or two since i thtlied ettention to a probable case of travelling cholera, and I have now to tetord an.; other case, the progress of which has been fully developed. Mr. Green, a surgeon, in practice at Houghton, a village distant six or seven miles from Sunderland, wrote last night to A friend to the following effect :—" Two fatal cases of the teal distatte; hti,ve elready occurred in this neighbourhood, one at Houghton, the other at Pewbottle:, The subject of the case that I saw here was a woman whet came from Sunderland last night. She was taken severely ill soon after her arrival, and died at five o'clock to-day. Oh, what a frightful disease it is : how different from any thing I ever saw before ! The sunken eyes and ghastly countenance, cold blue skis, no pulse, violent and excru ciating spasm., voice weak and almost inaudible, constant moaning, every thing really terrific and horrible. I have just been sent for to be present at the post mortem exatni nation, which lo is a very melancholy and, if my feelings were known, no desirable task. Was there ever before such an apparent absurdity as that which idloits the inhabitants of Sunderland to travel freely through England on the land side with the seeds of this torturing malady ripenifrg , in their constitutions, while the intercourse by sea is shackled with quarantine restrictions, to the manifest loss or ruin of the shipping in terests ? Is the instance of prescribed quarantine on the latt. r about to be detailed not an act of unjustifiable op pression ? The Helen, a vessel from Quebec, John Henderson mas ter, was chartered to proceed to Shields and Sunderland with a cargo of timber. She arrived on the 19th of No vember, and entered Shields, in the first place, to discharge a portion of her cargo, so that her draught of water might be lessened and adapted to the harbour of Sun derland, which was her chief destination. Having partly discharged at Shields, the majority of her seamen were paid riff, and, as she was to be towed by a steamer, only a few were retained to take the vessel to Sunderland. Coming from Shields, a port where no unequivocal case of cholera has as yet been reported, and being bound to Sunderland, a port where the Indian cholera has pre vailed for a month, it was not to be anticipated by any person in his senses that the least quarantine obstruction would oppose the entrance of the vessel into the harbour. The fact, however, speaks differently. The moment the Helen made her appearance yesterday at Sunderland, the authorities ordered her back to undergo quarantine. She was obliged to Isoist the yellow flag, and her agent was under the necessity of employing at high wages a num ber of seamen to take her to White Booth-roads, in the Huniber, near Hull, a distance of 150 miles from this, in order to pay the fees and linger through a vexatious and ridiculous period of quarantine. It appears certain that their MAJESTIES will pass the Christmas holydays at Brighton. It is understood that in the House of Lords the Address will be moved by Lord CAMPERDOWN, and seconded by Lord DiNoasEN. In the ll , ,use of Commune the Address will be moved by Lord CAVENDISH, and seconded by Sir FRANCIS VINCENT. It is not true that the visits of a certain wealthy Commoner to the hospitable Board of Royalty are likely to be followed by any change in the former's opinions upon the Reform q uestion.—Morning Herubl. - - A narrative of the recently enacted absurdities at the Caledonian church, in Regent square, has been pub lished by a gentleman of the name of Ptousiotos, who at first conceivsd himself destined to act ts the spiritual dragoman to the gifted sisters and brothers" holding forth in that place of worship, on the newly invented in strument oiled " the tongues." Mr. PILKINGTON at tended the snug select meetings at which " the tongues" were let loose preparatory to the introduction of the im pious nuisance into the general congregation. lie thus saw what happened behind, as well as before the scenes ; and has given such an account of the green-room re hearsals as must increase our disgust at the public ex hibition of the farce. The modern sybils are not led into the dark recesses of a cave, and placed on the inspiring tripod, to deliver their oracular responses, but they do not the less settle with the hierophant the time and mode of inspiration at tea and prayer -meetings. To some of these our author was admitted, and if he has not de scribed the " sacred fury" of the gifted sisters with the pen of VIRGIL, be has done it with the colours of truth. His pamphlet bears on its face the stamp of perfect sin cerity, and indicates the scrupulous candour of a religious man towards those whose delusions he had nearly shared, or by whose impostures he had been nearly duped. It has no scoffing of sacred things—it makes no attempt to drive away absurdity by ridicule, but gives a plain unvarnished narrative of facts, and leaves the reader to form his own conclusions. These conclusions, however, are irresistible, and if Mr. PILK/NGTON'S pamphlet does not open the eyes of the absurd persons who still believe in the miracu lous gift of tongues vouchsafed to Mr. Iftvisfo's prayers, they must indeed be stone-blind. On Monday week a woman, about thirty years of age, went into the shop of Mr. HAvEs, an apothecary, at Naas, and offered to sell him a living child, for the pur pose of dissection. On coming into the shop she asked Mr. HAYES if he would buy a child. Mr. HAYES inquired whether the child was dead or alive, to which the unfeel ing wretch answered that it was alive, but was sickly, and would not live long; and that the mother of it thought she might as well sell it to the doctors. In order to sift her fully, Mr. HAYES asked her the age of the child, and what she would expect for it ; to which she replied that it was a fortnight old, and she would expect 21. Mr. Halms then said he would not say what he would give till he r.1, , 0u1d see the child, and desired her to come neat morning at ten "clock. In the interim Mr. HAvEs re lated the circumstances, and the conversation that took place, to Mr. CANNON, a Magistrate. The next morning she came, at nine o'clock, with the child in her arms. Mr. HAYES examined it, and found it to be a healthy fe male child. Ile then offered her 11. for it, but she re fused it; subsequently a bargain was struck, and she was to receive 265. Mr. HAYES then, under pretence of get ting change of a note, went out, and brought two police men, and had this monster in human frame taken into custody. She now lies in Naas gaol, where she will remain till Monday next, when she will come before the Alagistrati - s presiding at Petty Sessions. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. HAYES for his conduct on this occasion. We trust the wretch will meet with the punishment her crime so richly deserves. She acknow ledges to be the mother of the child, and says she is from the county Longford, and that her husband is in Lug land.—Dab/Os Warder. • CONSISTORY COURT, DEG. 5. (Concluded from The ,Sun of yesterday.) NEELn e. NEHr.rt. Dr. LCSHINGTON, in giving jPodgment ; said the question he had here to consider was, whether the facts. alleged in this libel amounted to legal cruelty. The duty he was now c.lled upon to perform was to determine whether the charzes brought forward formed n sufficient ground for admitting the libel to no to proof. He should not attempt to define what legal cruelty Teas. The question for the Court was, whether the acts set forth in the libel were such as, admitting them to have taken place, would preclude Lady Caroline Nee ld from continuing to co habit with her hneband without personal r2sh, without ap prehension of danger to life et limb. In cases of this kind here were tWO' modes of proof :et: blows ; se,7ondly, words. SucTivas the principle received and admitted by a ll the Judges of that CM: - It, There must be either direct per sonal risk, or threats which gave gtelind to apprehend per so±a! risk; All the acts upon which tilt rlyktge of cruelty rested took I , ,rct. between the 4th and the /Ith of August. On the moel ri'ture consideration he could give all the articles, he came to the Conclusion that, even ad:titting their truth, they did not amoent to that legal cruelty which would prevent Lady Caroline Neel!! from returning to cohabitatiot: with her husband without risk of personal danger. It became tik'ereforc his duty to re , jcet the libel, the Court having no autnotit'y to interfere in any case esort of personal vio'ence. Even if the 'jibe' were proved he could ;lot, upon such grounds, grant e separation. He regretted that the strict rules of pleading /in that Court were not observed upon this ov.-reion. Too greet lathude was taken in drawing the inference; He had nothing to do Vith the conduct or the acts of Mr. Neeld or of Lady Caroline Peeldi and he pronounced no opinion upon it.

I very much regret that the kindly-intuntio , leif interfer ence of Captain Boldero (an interference not sought for by iikn, but Very reluctantly undertaken by him upon urgent entreaty) ha-'e been rejected. As that has been done, and as 1 have eXiiitifted all the means of approach to reconciliation which were lett opeh th inc, and as Lady Caroline (either from the impulse of her own inclinatiOns br frOrn the advice of her friends) does not attempt any such apprOaclii see no course now open to us but to leave it to cur friends to sett shelf tetras a separation as shall, under all the circumstances of this ex traordinary marriage, be thought proper.

I did riot positively and solemnly declare—first, that I am not conscious Of One single imputation to my prejudice which Lady Caroline can justly male against me; and, in the next place, that I protest against the requisition Of separation being imputed to me. The first suggestion of it came froth Lady Caroline herself, in her conver sation with me at Warwick; and het sobsequent conduct has forced me to consider that suggestion as one the adoption of which is the only course likely to produce to us mutual quiet and peaee.—l am, my dear Lord, very sincerely yours, " JOS.

I have now come to the determi»ation of breaking up my town establishment for the present year, as I hale before intimated to you the probability of my doing. I have written to Grittle ton that proper preparations may be made for your reception, and the carriage will be ready to take you down Saturday or Monday, at any hour you may name.

The only blame I can lay to myself is that of having been too kind to you, and halving submitted too much to your improper conduct. " Whether your remaining in my advertised bottle is detrimental to its sale or not I am the best, and choose to be the only judge. I think it so. Ido not stop to inquire how far it is consistent with the ordinary delicacy of a ' lady to enter a placarded house, open to the public inspection, of every house-hunter, in opposition to my known wishes, and in contradiction to your father's written engagement ; nor how it can be proper for you to volunteer to stay in the house under such circumstances; nor do I stay to ask how it is compatible with female delicacy for you to proffer yourself to a joint residence with me after you first separated yourself from me ; after your father, corresponding and acting for you, has written to me that separation was inevitable ; and after he referred it to our mutual solicitors 'to settle the terms of our separation.' fhose terms went off upon the excels of the pecuniary demand made upon my purse. " I now apprise you, that if you do not like to go to your father's house (upon which invitation you came to town), I will take apartments fer you at the Coburg Hotel (which, I must presume, is unobjectionable to you, because it is the ono you selected when we came to town in January), until Grittleton ' house is fit for your reception ; but I cannot allow your longer stay at my house in the square. " Yours, J. (t) " Coulson's Hotel, Nay Ir.

I shall 8330 discharge all the servants from it, and shall leave it in the sole chafge of the upholsterer's man. " These steps can put you to no inconvenience, because I have given you already timely intimation that I required you to leal'e the hotise ; that Grittleton.:house was ready for your reception, as it now is ; alid at the same time I offered to take suitable apartments for you at the Coburg, or any other respect able hotel, if for any particular purpose you wish to stay in town for a few days longer. I now repeat that offer _ " On your suggestion of an appeal to law, I have consulted one of the most eminent civilians in Doctors' Commons as to the course I am legally entitled to pursue, and the proceedings which I now notify to you are those which he advises. He fur ther advises me that your late arrogant claim to four horses, in stead of a pair, for the mere purpose of a morning airing, is what you have no right to make, and upon his advice I shall resist it. And your extravagant hiring of four post-horses daily, while you had a competent supply in the stable, is equally objectionable, and the repetition of such conduct will not be permitted. .‘ In conclusion I have only to say, that if you think a system of petty annoyance can drive me to submit to extortion, you Will find yoUrself mistaken; and fUrther, that if you continue to forget, or at least td Yiblate, the obedience and duties of a wife, I will assert and exercise the power and authority of a husband to their most legal extent. " I leave town this evening, as you are aware I had arranged to do. I cannot delay my departure longer than eight o'clock, before which hour I shall expect to receive your answer at my hotel as to your determination. If I should not receive it be fore that time, I shall desire my secretary to call upon you a ten o'clock tomorrow for your directions, " YoUrt, Superscribed—" The Lady Caroline Neeld."

Your present stay in Grosvenor-square, whilst the house is on sale and public view, Is not only inconvenient and indelicate, but is prejudicial to the sale of the property, which I am desirous to effect without delay, as the season is fast running on.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL. Yesterday George Wylie was brought up for re examination before Mr. Alderman Wreenesere, charged upon his own statement with having embezzled 431., the amount of a cheque which he was intrusted to obtain cash for by his employer, Mr. Hume, the Member for Middlesex. On being placed at the bar, the Magistrate read a lttter he had received from Mr. Hume, which stated that the prisoner had been in hie service as clerk, for a considerable period, and that up to the time he absconded the writer bad respected him much, on account of his talents and good conduct, and should, if lie had remained , ith him, have served him to the utmost of his power. He did not lament the loss of the money so much as the misery whit h the prisoner had inflicted upon his unfortunate wife and child, as well as himself. He preferred leaving the pri soner to be punished by his own conscience, and thought tae best thing he could do was to go to the new world, where by his talents and by prudence he might be able to retrieve his circumstances. The Alderman feelingly expatiatel on the folly of the prisoner's conduct, and dismissed him so much affected that he wept as he left the room. W OR SH IP-S TREE T. Bridget Cabin, the young woman suspected of the wilful murder of a little girl five years old, named Marga ret Duffy, was examined yesterday before Mr. TWYFORD ; and a man named Cattle, a noted resurrection-man, who had also been apprehended on suspicion, was placed at the bar with her. The body of the child, who is sup posed to have been " Burled," was found in a privy common to all the iehebitants of a court in Golden-lane, several hours after she had been missing from her home in Broad arrow-court, Milton-street, as stated in the Times of yes terdal, end nothing can exceed the excitement which the oecurrenee has occasioned throughout the district. The prisoners were brought from the police-station in Bunhill row, in a hackney-coach, guarded by a strong body of the police, and followed with most appalling yells by an im mense moil, hundreds of whom hod no doubt been wit nesses ,i : pa emr,cits or, .ro Dixon, shortlyetrl lre‘, Dixon, e superintendentfnfo,drl exit before, in o thef produced tohe: ofd mn Bailey.op number d bi r , r so attended Bishop w i the... a we i l d : i i N u N . : hn i l 0 - - proved the facts already stated in the Times. The pri soner, Who lived next door to the parents, was seen in the court about half-past five on Saturday evening, with the child, whom she had called out of doors in order to give her a penny to divide between her and her brother. The child could not afterwards be found, and shortly before nine the prisoner, who denied all knowledge of her absence, when qeteetioned by the parents, was charged with steal ing her, while that charge was under inquiry at the police station, the corpse of the deceased was taken there, having been found in the place above mentioned. A girl, who lived in the court, had trodden upon the corpse on entering the place in the dark. She screamed out and ran away, and her brother was approaching the place with a candle, when a man ran against Lim and pat out the light and made off. Mr. Dixon stated that the prison Calkin, when brought to the station, before the body was discovered, declared that site left the child in the Court where they lived, and never saw bee again, and she accounted for the disposal of her time by saying that she went to a person whom she mentioned in Rotten-row, Old-street, and remained there till about seven, after which she walked about for upwards of an hour, and was part of the time in company with one of the nurses of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, name,' Bryant. Upon inquiry, both these statements were denied, and at the hospital it was stated by the nurse herself, and the sister of her ward, that she had not been ont of the place all that day, nor seen the prisoner for two days pre viously. Mrs. Bryant, the nurse, now stated that she knew the prisoner, but did not see her on Saturday as she asserted. A respectable-looking man, named Bailey, now came forward, sand deposed that he was passing throug h th e court on Saturday evening, and saw the p risoner Calkin come from.;lae privy where the deceased was afterwa rds die . ,overed Jt was somewhere about eight o'clock when he saw Hers Mr. TWIrrOAD asked him if he ws, certain it was the prisoner ? He said he had riu doubt of it. He could not be mis taken, as be bad knows her for a length of time. A female named Jennings also came forward, an,d stated, that between seven and eight o'clock she saw the pr.:boner and the little girl about 100 yards from that spot. The female ptitoner made a statement of some length, to the effect that she frequently took the child out, and ad mitted that she saw her in their court as stated by the witnesses, and gave her a penny. She did not take her away from the place, but left her there, and never saw her ,gain until she saw the corpse at the police station. She herself went to Rotten-row, Old-street, and afterwards went towards Whitechapel and walked about, and during that time met with Nurse Bryant. The nurse came forward again, and expressed her asto nishment at this statement, which she flatly contradicted The prisoner Cattle is known to be a resurrection-man, and lives close to the spot where the body was found. A man was stated to have run from the privy, and he was taken on suspicion. The little boy said that the man who knocked out his light was not the prisoner Cattle, and there being no evi lence against the latter he was discharged. The prisoner Calkin was remanded to :Await the deci sion of the Coroner's inquest. HAT T ON- GARDEN. Yesterday Thomas Loyd, a middle-aged man, was brought to this office in the custody of police constable No. 67, division G, charged on suspicion of having tour ered Catherine Loyd, aged 23, his wife. Elizabeth Ann Sampson being sworn, stated that thc resides in New-court, Portpool-lane, The prisoner and Catherine Loyd his wife lived in thy -ame house; about three months ago, about two o'clock in the afternoon, she saw her in perfect health and spirits. On the following morning she did not come to ask wit ness for a light, as was her usual custom, which she thought rather strange, and she had been missing ever since. In two days after her absence from home, she made inquiries of several of the neighbours whether they had seen •her, but none of them had. Some days after wards witness was informed that two persons had been seen entering the house with Mrs. Loyd on the night since she was first missed. On that night witness was alarmed at a late hour by a noise of a confused Liud, and shortly after heard something being dragged down the stairs of a heavy description ; but she did not suspect any thing wrong until the woman supposed to be murdered remained away from home for weeks together. She then mentioned her suspicions to the police, and also to the mother of Mrs. Loyd, who lives at Newington. Since that time witness had heard nothing of her. Susan King stated, that about three weeks after Ca therine Loyd was missing she met the prisoner, and asked him where his wife was ? and he replied, " her, I don't know, nor don't care; she has been my w—e once, but take care she shall never be my wife or w—e again." Police constable 67 G stated, that be had received in formation that the woman was missing, and a suspicion was entertained that she bad been murdered or " Burked." He was on the look-out after the prisoner, who was suspected, and he took him into custody at a public-house in Tash.street, Gray's-inn-lane. Inspector Busaine stated, that on hearing that a female had been missing under suspicious circumstances for the last three months, and no tidings had been beard of her, and there being a report that she had been " Burked," he ordered the officers to search the room in which the prisoner and the woman missed had been lodging. On doing so, they found a woman's dress in the room, and there were marks of blood upon the under garment, He had heard that the missing woman had but one change of raiment, and it certainly struck him with suspicion. The mother of the absent woman, a decent -looking elderly woman, stated that she resides at Newington. She heard what had been stated. Her daughter had been missing for the last three months, and after every in quiry she could receive no intelligence whatever of her, only that a mite had been heard, and something heavy being dragged down stairs, on the night before she was missed from her lodgings. The prisoner's defence was a denial of the charge. She had left him, and he bad not since seen her. He was obliged to quit the place in consequence as having crowds following him in the neighbourhood, chargi,:te, him with having Burked" her. He could produce a w i!ness who had seen her alive only on Thursday last, and ;:e had spoken to her, and inquired after him (the prisoner). The Magistrate observed, that it would be most im portant for him to produce that witness, and asked where tie could be found ? Prisoner —At 154, Drury-lane. The Magistrate ordered the officers to go and make in quiry after the witness, and also to produce the wearing ipparel found in the late lodgings of the prisoner, in order that the mother of the missing woman might see them, and, if possible, identify them ; for which purpose the, prisoner was detained and locked up. -7 ` - Lieut.-Colonel the Hon.
