The Ministry added, that this measure had been long in contemplation. Tai Jou four. DES DZBATS.—Mr. Lamb has just trans mined a Note to M. Salmon on account of the hostile atti tude assumed by the Spanish Army on the frontiers. (From the Journal de Paris of Friday.) Mannar., APRIL 30.—(Extracted from a private let ter.)—The day before yesterday it was reported, that the Minister of Finance had ben replaced by the Ex-Director Valladolid; but the tie;y s of this change is not confirmed. To-day it is reporteja, that the War Minister is going to be removed, and !'oat his successor will be General O'Donnel, Governor of Algesiras. The new Cireula: to the Authorities of the Kingdom is now printing at the Royal Press, enjoining them to be very vigilant, with respect to all persons coming from Portugal. Tile reasons for this circular (which I call new, because it is the second of the kind) are, that our Police has re teived notice, false or true, that large sums have been sent from Portugal to Spain to excite insurrection in our fron tier provinces, and to tempt the troops to desert. With respect to desertion, that certainly takes place ; but it is generally believed, that it is caused rather by the want of money, and the difficulties to which the troops are consequently exposed, than by any kind of seduction, (From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) PARIS, MAY O .—DISIBANDINci or TEE NEAPOLIT AN NATIONAL GUARD.—TiII Mr, every one thought that the disbanding of the. Natienal Guard of Paris was the re sult of an attack of rage by Ministerial vengeance ; per haps we shall be induced to believe that this strange - measure Was not co spontaneous as we might imagine, when we learn that on the 3d of April a similar measure was adopted in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. This would certainly not be the first tires that our Ministers, called to the administration of a country where a Constitu tional Charter reigns, had adopted the errors of an absolute Government. [Here follows the Decree directing that the National Guard should be disbanded, and its duties performed by the Gendarmerie.] This Decree bad been published for twenty--six day., when the Ordinance of the 29th April was framed at ?aiis. M. Villele was likely to know of it. We kno7'., that the Minister of Police in the Kingdom of Naples, who has abolished the civil Neapolitan Guard, is devoted to M. Met. ternich, and thus be ham acted in this affair according to the inspiration of the Chief of the new European League. Would it be very unreasonable to think that the President of the Council bad yielded to the same influence, if we re member that when he demanded or advised the dissolution of the National Guard be had jest arrived from Austria, sinc ,- 4 he had dined that day with M. d'Apponi ? Are not the old remains of the Holy Alliance the only persons who 'applaud the Ordinance of M. Corbiere, since it is hied by honest men of all parties ? (From the Journal glee Debar,, o f F r id ay .) PARIS, ill At 1 0.—The news N ;e receive from Madrid, dated the 30th April, announcP that the hostile position as sumed by the Spanish Ar.ny all along the frontier, has caused a Note to be se it by Mr. Lamb, in which he re quires some expl an ation with respect to this proceeding, and that 31 * S ' l .mon answered that they only took place in consequence of the proceedings of the English and Portu guese Arr . , iies. Ger.ral Sarsfield was sending courier after courier, an nouncing that the desertion continually increased, for want of 'money to pay the troops. The Portuguese Insurgent General, Silveira, who was at Taro, was to leave that City for France at the beginning of May. 1 (From the Courier Francais of Friday.) PARIS, MAT 10.—Our Madrid Correspondent states, that a serious contest has taken place between the Portu guese Refugees and the Constitutionals, in the quarter of Orensa. The Spaniards interfered, and between 36 and 40 pritiouers were taken. Letters from the Canaries announce an insurrection in "he 7th Regiment (called Albuera), which lately arrived from Ceuta. Twice they refused to obey the orders of their Lieutenant-Colonel, Adjutant Pierson. The cause of their mutiny is unknown. The companies have been removed from one another, and placed under, the guard of the Mil;*ia of the country; but before the Government can be enabled to supply the place of this regiment by other troops, a revolt may take place.

Our attention has been called to this ingenious and very interesting exhibition, by its recent and entirely new change of views. They are still sixteen in number; and it is but doing them justice to say, that the scenes they repre sent are as judiciously selected as they are beautifully exe uted. The three first consist of the " Mausoleums, Ruins, end Temples of Palmyra." Among the latter of which, the " Temple of the Sus" forms a peculiarly striking object, both in regard of the general magnificence of the design, and the elegant character of the details. These are suc ceeded by the " Palace and Park of Versailles." The po gition in which the palace is given is the most favourable that could have been chosen for showing the vast extent of the edifice, which, with its wings, is near two thousand feet in length, and forms one of the grandest architectural objects of which the world can boast. Among the other subjects are those of " Trinity Chapel," " Athens," " Edinburgh," the " Interior of St. Peter's, at Rome,' and the " Bridge of Cords, in Peru ;" all of which display not only great truth of drawing, and force and liveliness of colouring, hut are so excellent in the grand points of liflit and shade, and what may he termed their serial perspective, that every part of each object is not only seen lineally, in its true place or distance, but in that degree of clearsess or of obscurity proper to its situation ; so that the illusion as gums' a perfectness of effect really surprising. 55 exqui site, indeed, are most of these imitations of Nature, that we cannot easily conceive how greater credit could 1-e dont to this curious province of the pictorial art, than the painter has procured to it by these his brilliant spe6nens of its powers. In passing from window to window, the spectator is transported from one country to another--from Asia to Europe, and from Europe to America, as by magic. In our opinion, the best scenery of the stage cannot vie with these transparent beauties of the pencil ii A force and fulness of effect in the sphere of deception—a merit which alone would form a powerful attraction, and re'ect no common honour on the talents of the artist. At the annual Meeting of the aubscribers and benefactors of the Bradford Dispe bury, held on Monday last, a report was read, from NO:Lich it appeared that th• number of patients admitted du,:ing the last year amounted to 2,863. It was also stated,lthat there was an excess in the expenditure over the into me of 1451., and it was re commended that the Ministers of - religion, within the sphere of the Institution's operations, shoule! be requested to:make congregational collections, tca replenish the funds.—Leafs .11ercury. NEW LOAN.—It seas reported on Saturday, and generally believed, that Mr. Rothischild, in behalf of the monied interest of the City, boring joined by leading capitalists and hankers, will lend Gwernment five millions on Exchequer Bills, bearing an interest at the late of three per cent. per annum ; to be issuec, at a premium of 205., in which case Government woul d borrow, for the first year, at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, and the lender receive (with the present premi,r-ri on Exchequer Bills) at Vie rate of 41.

The arrangement of thf differences between the stuff-manufacturers and thei r weavers twe or three weeks ago was, it appears, onl:• temporary, the muter. being obliged to pay a higher prig e for their weaving than they could afford ; the natural ct meequence of which was that only very few of the men ob tained work. We have now, however, the happiness to a ay, that a cordial recon ciliation has taken place, the mac having voluntarily con- L:nted to receive 6s. a piece for the two shuttle plaid pieces, for which they before wee a paid 6s. 6d; 71. for the four shuttle pieces, before pal , 1 7s. 6d. ; and 7s. 05d. for the six shuttle pieces, the pr ice of which was before 9s. 6d., and all other kinds of le ork in the same propor tion.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday, and the Etoile of Saturday morning. The latter classes under the head of " Lies of the Day"the statements made in the Qudidienne and .Journal des Debats, of an engagement having taken place between the Spaniards and Portuguese, on the frontiers of Gallicia, and of Mr. LAMB having again remonstrated with the Spanish Government, on account of the hostile attitude assumed by the army on the frontiers of Portugal. The Papers are still filled with debates on the Budget. We thought that the debate of Friday in the House of Commons had so crushed the hopes of the poor Ultras, that they regarded their con dition as perfectly hopeless, and had quietly resigned themselves to their fate, especiallywhen de serted by Mr. PEEL, who has so adroitly backed out of the Opposition, which he at first threat ened. That Right Hon. Gentleman does not seem to enjoy the society which he has got into, and'has fairly thrown overboard those worthy persons who had hoped that they were to look on him as their leader. Not that we see in Mr. PEEL'S conduct any relaxation of hostility to the new Government, but only a pledge that he will not offer a harrassing and useless opposition, being a course dictated by respect for his own character in the eyes of the country. In proof of this we may say that nothing could be more hollow than his speech in opposing Gen. GASCOYNE'S motion, for instead of be stowing on the masterly reply of :iir. Husicis- SO N the praise it so well deserved, Mr. PEEL con tented himself with resting his objection to the motion on the grounds of individual consistency. But though the "refiner's fire" has discovered the existence of alloy in the Ex-Secretary for the Home Department, we cannot forget the benefits he has conferred on his country, and we should be sorry to undervalue them, whilst we are obliged to censure his conduct on a late occasion. But, instead of being daunted, we find that the Orangemen are actually going to set up two daily evening Papers, as a counterpoise to the venal part of the press, which they have denounced so fiercely in both Houses of Parliament. One of them is to be called the "Centinel," and commences its address to the public by saying-- " The present Administration has been formed upon the avowed principles of subverting the Protestant Constitution, not by assailing its ramparts, but by undermining its foundations." 'We are not aware whether this is actionable or not, but beg to give it the most unqualified contradiction, for though in itself hardly merit ing any species of notice, we are aware that the most contemptible things are frequently mis chievous when addressed to the worst feelings of human nature,—cowardice as respecting self, and cruelty in disregarding the sufferings of others. We know that there was a time when the power of the Pope was formidable in the extreme, and so there was a time when the Scots borderers were formidable to their English neighbours ; but there is just as much occasion for rebuilding the walls of Berwick against an invasion of Scots, as for strengthening the ramparts of the Constitution against the Pope, who actually has not one half the power and patronage which the Archbishop of CAN TERBURY enjoys. But the Orangemen have long found " No Popery" a more profitable cry than a fishwoman ever found crying mackerel, and their " Centinel" will go on telegraphing to them about fleets of Papists coming over from the Continent, with the POPE / at their head, till they actually picture in their minds the very colour of the uniform which hi .s HOLINESS must procure for the occasion. V/ 6 agree with CJESAR, that it were better to 0 li e once than to live-in constant fear of death,— nor have we words to express our pity for t' oese Orangemen whose existence must be little betiter than a protracted execution, if they are sincere' in the apprehensions they express,—and who has a right to doubt them ? We received this morning Frankfort Papers of the 7th instant, which contain accounts of some further preparations by the Turks for effect ing the subjugation of Greece, but the arrival of Lord COCHRANE and General CHURCH will make the attempt more arduous than ever : CONSTANTINOPLI, APRIL 10. 1 The first division of the fleet, consisting of fifteen ships of various sizes, sailed on the 3d of this month, under tb e command of Riala Beg (the third Admiral of the fleet), / co Gallipoli, where it will take on board biscuit and oti ler provisions, and gunpowder. . ____ . - . The 2d division, under the command of Taher Pt eha, the Seraskier of the Fleet, will sail from this p or t afta r the feast of Beiram. Another division of regular troops, about 1,600 strong, has lately marched to Larissa. At t' of last month th ree new S erv ian Deputies arrive{ he end 1 here, to take the places of those who have been here for a consi derable time. They have brought sews of tht death of the Bishop of Belgrade, which the Greek Pat"' iarch has communicated to the Porte, requesting its ordt ?re relative to the appointment of his successor. Ascoiaing to the latest accounts from Sm 7 rna, of the 4th of this month, Redschid Pacha still m aintained his ground before Athens against the partial a' ~tacks of the Greeks, but he had not yet been able to di ..ive them from their entrenchments in the Piraeus and Phale rue. The distress in the Acropolis increased daily, and sick ness was making rapid progress among the garrison. Na ~Eng farther was known respecting the dispute between tie two Assemblies at Egina and Hermione, or whether Lord Cochrane and General Church had succeeded in eS acting a compromise between them. The last number of thf Universal Ga zette of Greece (No. 36, of 24th r if March), which we have received from Smyrna, does no' t say a syllable on this subject. It contains, however, a n account of the events (of which we have already spoke n) that occurred before Athens, after the arrival of Kai a i e k a ki at Eleueis. This report, addressed by Laraiskal ci to the Government at Egina, clearly shows, sal ,ting sai ,de the usual ezaggerationa, ma*. the actions of the 15th and 16th of March led to no decisive result.

STUTTOARD, HAT 3. . - At Ravensburg it has been agreed, in consequence of a negociation between the Elders of the Churches of both parties, that henceforward ten holydays of the Protestant and Catholic Churches shall be kept, partly on the next holyday of the other party respectively, and partly on the following Sunday. PETERSBURCH, APRIL 23. It appears from authentic documents that the present po pulation of Georgia amounts to about 64,000 families, or 372,000 souls; they consist of 4 dig.eretit natkths—vii. Geor gians, Armenians, Tartars; &Persians. The trade of Georgia and or the Governm en t b eyon d M ount C aucasus in gene ral, which is very considerable, owes its present importance to several Ukases of the latter years of the reign of the Em peror Alexander, particularly that of 20th October, 1821, which gave very great commercial privile;;es to this pro vince. The commerce of Tiflis, the capital, has increased in an astonishing manner, and is chiefly carried on by the Armenians. In the year 1824, the six first Armenians appeared at Leipsic fair, and purchased European manufac tures to the amount of 600,000 rubles, which they sent by way of Odom to Georgia. In 1825, the Armenians pur chased at Leipsic to the amount of 1,200,000, and in 1826, to tkat of 2,800,A00 rubles, By the arrival of his Majesty's packet, Rinaldo, which Wt Jamaica on the 10th April, and Crooked Island on the 19th, we have received Jamaica Papers to the 9th April, which repre sent affairs in Peru as in a state of great agita tion ; and it will appear from the following ex tracts, Ihat Colombia was also very unsettled, and in a tlitious condition. PAEZ still rules in Veneriela, and the Colombians have laid up their wavy, and discharged the officers and men. (From the Jamaica Courant.) His Majesty's brig, Beaver, Capt. O'Brien, arrived at Port loyal in four days. The Beaver left Carthagena on the itesday preceding, and has experienced very severe weathr. The packet arrived there the evening previous, and tie ship Samuel, about four hours after her sailing, havirT had a passage of fourteen days. The packet was 3 sail on Thursday. Carthagena is in a very unsetled state; no money to pay the troops, but what is leied upon the British merchants. The navy is laid ip, and the seamen are all discharged, as well as he Foreign Officers, without their pay, or the meads of procuring it hereafter. The Colombia and Con din.marca frigates, and Venezuela, Boyaca, and Consii- NM: sloops are laid up at Carthagena, and tke Urica wait° sail for Porto Cabello in a few days, to bTlaid up. On the 2tith March, news reached Carthagena from Bobta that a revolution had broken out in Peru. Bolivar's (Veers had been arrested, and sent prisoners to Bogota. (From the Jamaica Courant of the 9th April.) We are in possession of several important documents re latng to the last changes in Peru :—the first is a letter &en the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Alxiliary Army to the Vice-President of Colombia, dated Una, 28th January, giving a detail of circumstances wtich led to the insurrection of the 26th of that month, and his motives for having arrested 150 officers. The third document is a proclamation of Santa Cruz, Pesident of Peru, referring to the above events, summon irg an Extraordinary Congress, to be held at Lima on the bt of May, for the purpose of framing a Constitutional Charter for this Republic of Peru. The Bogota Papers of the 15th March state, that 400 tlousand dollars has been collected for the interest of the Republic. _ i3y a public document published officially at Bogota, it appears, that the Republic has discharged the amount of 1,829,670 dollars, of the principal of the domestic debt, is the year 1826, at the same time they are inahle to send a single dollar in payment of the interest due on the foreign debts and bans contracted in this country. The amount of the revenue for the month of ;January, received from the various departments collected for the Sinking Fund, and the payment of the National Debt, amounted so 465,909 dollars. Bogota Papers to the 16th of March, hare been received at the North and South American Coffee House. The Gazeta de Colombia will be read with some satisfaction by those who are interested in the financial conceit-no of Colombia. We regret at the same time that when the pro bable amount of expenditure !for the year next ensuing was thus officially given, some idea was not furnished, of the means by which the Go vernment proposes to obtain t he supplies which are to cover it. The following is an extract from the Gax&r de Colombia of the 4th :—_ " We have the pleasure to annout ice to the public, that the Estimate draw n up in the office of the Secretary of Finance, of the Rxpenditure during the present year, is much less than tinat of last. The decrease is to be attri buted to the met Asnres of economy which have been tempo rarily adopted 1 iy the Liberator President in the exercise of his extraordine .ry powers. The amount of the estimates for the year, it 8,550,027 dollars '74 cents. That of last year was 15, , 1.87,719 dollars 3} cents ; there is, therefore, a decrease in favour of the Repuhlic, of 6,937,691 dollars 4i cents, as may be seen below : ESTIMATES FOR THE TEAR 1827.

The expenses thereby incurred are easily supp orted by prizes and hostilities on the enemy's trade, *hit I,h is not the case with what is spent in the army.— Bei idea a large proportion of the persons employed in the nay ry are not a loss to the agriculture of the country, as en lit tments can be made from a foreign country without 1 7 reeking its neutrality. It is a subject well. worthy the at / ention of Congress to examine the estimates, to reduce them as soon as possible, and simplify the administration ofFinance. In the foreign department we are of opinion that the estimates should be increased about 40,0001. or 50,0001., because Colombia cannot, in imitation of the Ottoman Porte, avoid sending Ministers to foreign Powers. As she is in a state to enter into new relations, and preserve those which already exist, we think it both right and advan tageous to suspend our foreign legations for the present, for example, to all new American States our allies, even though they should be discharged by Charges de Affaites, to France, Denmark, Sweden, and Holland." Private Letters have been received from Carthagena two days later than those received per the packet; they men tion that a mail had arrived from Bogota, stating that that capital bad been the seene of tumult and disturbance between the partisans of Bolivar and Santander. The Governor of Carthagena had a garrison of 3000 men, was in the interest of the Liberator, and had threatened to march to Bogota and level it with the ground ; it was fully expected, that to put an end to this disquiet, a general and united call would be made on the President, notwithstand ing his resignation, to accept the Presidentship for life, as he was considered the only person capable to put an end to their troubles.—The following is a private communication from Bogota, dated the 16th of March, every thing is in confusion here, and the opinions very much divided re specting the resignation of the Liberator. A very strong party are for accepting it (viz.), the friends of Santonder, and declared enemies of Paez. Congress will assemble on the 24th ; all the Deputies but three have arrived ; all the Existanciaz which the Treasury here can boast of is' eighty thousand dollars. THE FUNDS -(THIS DAY).

In the Foreign Funds the arrival of the Jamaica packet has occasioned considerable bustle - in Co lombian Bonds, and the speculators have been nearly all on the wiling order. The private accounts are of the most desponding nature from that republic, and the intelligence of the arrest of several Colombian Officers, left by Bolivar in Peru, who have endeavoured to imitate the conduct of Pau in Venezuela, has created great distrust in this Stock ; by the Jamaica Papers, however, the Peruvian Govern ment appear to have sent these unruly parties to Bogota, where, by the same rule ofleasoring they will meet are ward for their conduct, instead of punishment for their it;- subordination, as took place with Gen. Pau. Mexican Bonds are steady at 6911; Russian, 901 ; and Spanish, 121 I; a Meeting of the latter Bonds is expected to take place shortly, when it will be seen whether the Contractors will deem it worth their while to, give the Bondh lders some reply to the repeated and direct questions which have been put to them as to certain sums still remaining in their bands belonging to this Stock.

The Alcade ordered a physician to examine the body, who soon discovered that life was not extinct, and, after the necessary medi cinal aid, the girl recovered her senses. She had received several wounds, the most severe of which were about the chin and m ou th. O n b e i ng questioned, it became evident that the unfor tunate girl had been deprived of the power of articulation, by the cutting of her tongue across. She, however, by signs, which could not be misunderstood, indicated that an assault had been committed on her, that she was afterwards stabbed several times with a knife, dragged by the hair of the head, and thrown into the place where she was found, and that the time when the -crime was committed was about eight o'clock that morning. There being a great number of persons present at this examination, she was asked if amongst them she could discover the person who had maltreated her ? she replied in the negative by a nod of her head. Shortly after, there came into the room, drawn thither by curio sity, Antonio Froylan, the brother of Pedro Froylan, who had found her on the road side. She was asked if he was the person ; she made a sign that he was not, but it was observed that she kept her eyes fixed on him with the most in tense expression, as if indicating that he was in some way or other connected with the circum stance. This peculiarity led the Alcade to re mark the conduct of Pedro Froylan, who had kept walking up and down, at the other ex tremity of the Chamber, and had not once ap proached the unfortunate girl. He was then ordered to come near, but gave some frivolous excuse. He was, however forced to approach her, and the moment she saw him she became most violently agitated, and before any question was put to her she pointed him out with her finger, and by signs intimated that he was the person who had so brutally maltreated her. An examination which the parties then underwent, left no doubt as to the facts mentioned, and afforded the strongest presumption of the perpetration of the crime by Pedro Froylan. No knife or other instrument with which the wounds could have been inflicted was found upon his person, and he even denied having possessed one. However, a search having been made near the place where the girl was found, a knife, stained with blood, was discovered, which several persons swore they had seen in the pos session of Pedro Froylan. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the crime, and persisted in his first declaration to the Alcade, that he had found the girl wounded and senseless on the road side. On the 29th of June the unfortunate girl ex pired, and criminal proceedings were soon after commenced against Pedro Froylan, but, with the usual dilatory march of justice in Spain, the judgment—finding him guilty, and condemning him to be hanged—was not given till the 18th of December. The case was then referred for revisal to the Chamber. of Alcades de Casa y Corte, of Madrid ; which tribunal, on the 12th of March, confirmed the sentence, and ordered the prisoner for execution. He has since paid the forfeit of his crimes. The evening before his execution, being in Capilla (in the con demned chapel), he confessed his guilt, but de clared that, after the commission of the first crime, he had no intention of murdering Anne Berbal, until she threatened to tell the Cure of what had taken place. But it was only then that he stabbed her, and thinking her to be dead, he, to remove suspicion from •himself, brought the body to the Alcade. THE WAKEFIELDS.---..0n Friday night, Ed ward Gibbon Wakefield and William Wakefield arrived at Manchester on their way to London to receive sentence. They were accompanied by Mr. Higgins, the governor of Lancaster gaol, and a turnkey. They remained in Manchester all night, and set off on Saturday morning at nine o'clock. It had been whispered about that they were to go by the mail, and a great con course of people had assembled to get a glimpse of them, but Mr. Higgins, in compliance with the request of the Wakefields, procured a hack uey-coach, in which they drove as far as Long sight (about two miles from Manchester), where they met the mail, LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. Nothing of importance occurred this more. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JUDGMENT AGAINST THE WAKEFIELDS. Mr. E. G. Wakefield and Mr. W. Wakefield were brought up this morning for judgment. No sooner was the Court opened than it was crowded to excess : the galleries were filled with ladies and gentlemen. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock, Lord Tenterden asked Mr. Sergeant Cross if he had anything to move? Mr. Sergeant CROSS—I pray your Lordships for judg ment against Edward Gibbon Wakefield and William Wakefield, who were convicted at the last Assites for the county of Lancaster of a conspiracy against a young lady, under age, named Ellen Turner, arid thereafter carrying her away by fraud ; without the knowledge or consent of het father. Mr. Justice LerrigoaLt then read the indictment, at the conclusion of which, he observed that the prisoners were found guilty of all the counts in the indictment, ex cept the third count. His Lordship then read over the whole evidence adduced a the trial, daring which Mr. W. Wakefield did not evince any symptoms of anxiety ; but his brother, whose external conduct was composed, seemed to suffer much mental pain, for he was occupied the most of the time in reading, at intervals, a book which was lying on the clerk's desk. They both looked very well. Mr. E. G. Wakefield was dressed in a blue surtout, with a black velvet collar, and his brother in a blue dress coat, also with a velvet collar. When Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE had finished, Edward G. Wakefield addressed the Court from a written docu ment at great length, and was followed by Counsel for the prosecution ; but of these statements we musgpostpone our report till the Second Edition, as we are unwilling to de prive our readers of a full report of the Judgment at' the earliest moment, and which was delivered by Mr. Justice BAYLEY in a most impressive and feeling manner in the following words : Edward Gibbon Wakefield and William Wakefield, you are to receive the sentence of this Court, after having been convicted of an indictment which charges that you, for the sake of lucre and gain, did conspire and combine to take away Ellen Turner, a maid unmarried, and within the age of sixteen years, out of the pos session of a lady of the name of Daulby, and conspiring also unlawfully to get her, so being such maid, to contract the most sacred obligations which can be contracted—to contract matrimony with Ed. ward Gibbon Wakefield, unknowing and without the knowledge of her father, who must of necessity be inter ested in the welfare of his child, and who ought to be con sulted before that child should marry. A conspiracy of a more aggravated description, and from baser motives, I can hardly conceive to have entered into the mind of man. A child between the age of fifteen and sixteen years, incapable of judging for herself, placed by her father under the care and tuition of persons who might direct her morals, and who might qualify her to be a com fort to her parents and to be properly associated for life with a man not of cunning and of art, and of intrigue, but with a man of probity and honesty ; and a man who has regard to truth ; a man who will not be guilty of fraud ; with a man of whom the father may not be ashamed of introdu cing to his own connections and acquaintances. With a conspiracy of this kind entered into, not upon those honourable principles and feelings by which a man may be drawn in hastily to contract a marriage ; but to contract a marriage with a man who previously bad no acquaintance with her, and who previously bad never seen her, and with a man who previously had never spoken to her. By what name is a conspiracy of this kind to be characterised, and what is the description of a man who boasts to be able to make that child his wife for the remainder of his life; a man who has been guilty of the practices which are detailed and proved in evidence in this case? The pro ceeding begins by a forged letter being sent to Miss Daulby, a letter well written, and a letter well calculated to impose and to succeed in that imposition. There fore the first act of that man, who is to be this lady's husband for life, is an act of FORGERY-not merely falsehood—but an act of plain and direct FORGERY ; intimating that a letter came from Doctor Ainsworth, who had never written that letter, and intimating to detail a series of facts, which facts were, from beginning to end, without foundation. The transaction of forgery does not stop there ; but the man who is the agent—the man who is to carry the letter, has with him a carriage, importing to be Dr. Ainsworth's—has with him the livery, importing to be the livery of Mr. Turner ; and he goes there with falsehoods in his mouth, to impose upon those ladies who' have the care and custody of the child ; there is, therefore, not only falsehood in the letter, but there is subornation of falsehood in the person who is employed to convey the letter. Pause for a moment and consider whether a man who can so far have conducted himself—so far forfeited the principles of honour, rectitude, and truth, as to practice falsehoods and forgeries to that extent, and to that extent only, is a person to be introduced to a respectable family? Is he to be introduced to an innocent, artless, un suspecting young woman, as her associate for life? The very outset of the transaction shows the malignity and con spiracy which at that time was going on. A lady of years is imposed upon ; the child is sent home in that carriage; she is sent under the expectation that she will meet her fa ther, whom she is fond of—that she will be able to meet him at Manchester. Is there any deception prac tised there ?--any fraud there ?—any repetition of falsehood there ? There she is met by the two defend ants, who are now to receive sentence, and then a new fabrication is formed—that her father is not there, that he has been under the necessity of leaving his home, that he has been under the necessity of absconding, and that he will be fouad at Halifax. Then this young woman who has been harrassed in travelling from Liver. pool to Manchester, is taken off to Halifax, where it is said there will be at any rate a letter. Is there any letter there ? No—an additional fraud is practised that he will be found at Kendal. Then she is harrassed more by being taken off, and travelling night and day till she reaches Kendal. Then there is again an ad ditional fraud; there is again an assumed letter, inti mating that her father had to go forward, and that they must go forward too; and there a declaration is made to her—still conducted with great art, calculated to impose upon an ingenuous woman, and likely to operate upon the good and kind feelings of a feeling and an affectionate daughter, being told that her father is greatly embarrassed by the failing of a bank ; she is induced to suppose that the person who is in the carriage with her is the nephew of a kind hearted man, of a man who has stepped forward in the gap, and wl.e has lent to her father, under his embarrassed circumstances, no less a sum than 60,0001. ! Why, is not that calculated to make her look upon the person with whom she is at that time in company, as if he were a person who from having been kind to her father, was entitled to kindness fro' her ? Then there is an insinuation that Mr. Grimsditch, the attorney of the father--whether a relation of the fa mily or sot I do not know, but he was in the confidence of the father, had suggested as an expedient that she should become the wife of the person at that time in the carriage, and he pressed her for an answer over and over again. She hesitated, as well she might, to one whom to that time she had never seen, of whose disposition she was wholly unaware, who might be a man of great art, of great talent, and great attraction, but who might be a man, without that which alone is likely to make mar riage happy without principle, without a regard t o truth, and disregardless of honour. Should an y woman be drawn in hastily to give consent to a marriage under circumstances of such suspicion ? They arrived atCarlisle, the stage before they reached the borders of Scotland, they etopt there ; a communication is made to her tbather father is there, that he must not be seen, that Mr. G. the attorney, is there, but that she must not see them ; that those are bailiffs who are around the carriage at the door, who are waiting for her father; that he had been attempting to cross the border but had been prevented, and that no hope of his escape was left but that which had been alluded to. Now, that is the detail of the transaction, till the period at which they arrived at Gretna Green. It has been insinuated, that though she had remained per fectly untouched so long as she remained within the con fines of this kingdom, yet that that did not continue afterwards. Now let us see for one moment, taking that to be the case, whether that does or does not recom commend the individual who now stands for judgment for his crimes. I have already said, that regard to truth is one of the most important things in every man's character and conduct ; that no woman with any degree of prtidence can associate herself with a man disregardless of truth, and that no father ever willingly can assent to his daughter being associated with a man in whom the sincerity of truth is not deeply impressed. To meet that insinuation, you will see whether there be any additional circumstances which aggravate the case, or which show the impropriety of that individual becoming the huband, and she becoming the wife of that man. He says to Mr. G. " I assure you, upon my honour that Mi-s Turner is the same Miss Tur ner she was when I took her away—there has been no consummation of the marriage." Now that is true or false ; if true, my observation does not apply, but there is an insinuation to-day, that if it is not true, the conspiracy is to associate her for life to a man who will declare, that that one thing is true, when he knows is not true. There i s als o a l e tt er w ritten by hitnw brother, in which he makes a similar de,claratolo writing, and if that be true, then my observatalo4o does not apply, but if it be false, why, what an aggraTd of the offence must it be that there should be a consP;; to associate her with a man who who would give a 5 • 1 declaration, in word and in writing, of that which 011 0 founded in truth ? Here are two defendants now beforeo Court ; one is younger than the other, no doubt ; but of an age, whatever may have been his affection Off brother, and however much under the influe pd e s that brother—of an age at which he but know that what his brother was Prac ti l was calculated to b r ing di sgrace on hi m self ow./ all his family, an d ca l cu l a t e d t o d es t roy the po . ri. and ruin the comforts of those individuals against whi riPl _,,,t scheme was directed. Tho ug h h e b e y ounger , yet he not to have lent himself a willing instrument!„ . .e ought to have made a communication to her IlY'Lo. to enable- them to have taken care to have 1 701 trated that which would inevitably bring °I AA own family a very conside ra bl e negree o f degraus-od and which was calculated to produce on Miss Turne r f s her family the greatest and bitt eres t m i sery , th a t Ar co to become the wife of an i n di v id ua l w h o had c od ducted himself in a w a y thi s i n di v id ua l h a d condo 0 himself ; that it was not merely that a _child was to married at an age at which she could not judge for be7 o , maarried without the knowledge and consent of her pare oe i but to a man who aft er thi s t ransac ti on , n ever c o il be looked upon by, her with the eye of respect' scarcely I think with the eye of affection. Court does carefully consider the circumstanc es 0 this case----it recollects that there has already beenod one of the individuals some period of imprisonment; individual, in his address to the Court, has contra"' this case with an earlier case that was before the • but a case not of this malignity,—a case in ty t it is true, there was a • cons!: iracy to bring ab riu marriage, but in which the circumstances did amount to anything like the malignity which t' is here, a n d i n w hi c h t h e aggravat i on o f t h e P 3fti being in a higher situation of life, did not occtiPtil This is a c ase i n w hi c h a person not young, acquainet with marriage duties, a cqua i n t e d w ith w h at oug ht to be pected from a h us b an d, an d w h a t may b e expecte d ? fl wife, propo ses t o marry a w if e i n fi n i te l y younger than b self.

The prisoners were then led out of Court. COVENT GARDEN MEETING. (THIS DAY.) In consequence of a notificatio n from Messrs.
