'77= - •//_ ,e-I-. JEALOUSY, MURDER, AND SUICIDE, AT DEPTFORD. On Saturday night, Webber,boatswain's mate of the Royal Charlotte Irish yacht, was seen going down the water gate, Deptford, in company with his wife and a young seaman t the same vessel. The two men were much intoxicates, and Webber objected to going on board, saying• that lie would return and have another pot of beer. His wife wished him to go on board, and a quarrel was the consequence between them. Webber was proceeding to kick her, but vas prevented by the other man, who ,;.id he should not touch her. This conduct seemed to incense Webber, who expressed in strong terms his hatred to the other man, of whom be had shown some jealousy before, and con chided by saying, that if he attempted to go on board with his wife ; that he would drown both him and his - (Webber's) wife. Fe reproachfully reminded her that her husband was ashoTe, and not with her in the boat. They, however, got Inv the boat without Webber, who insisted on staying on shore for• more liquor; and on . their pushing the boat off, lie ran into the water up to his middle, and pulled it i:, again. He then got in, and the boat was push, I off. When, however, they had go.; about forty 'yards from the shore, a scuffle com menced, and a violent splash was heard in the water ; a doper& struggle then ensued— , ke one who grapples with his enemy, nd strives to strangle him before he dies. The hat words beard, were from the mouth of Webber, who sail, " now we will be both drowned together then." They iistantly sank, and although both were excellent swimma•s, neither of them rose again. Every exertion was made b) the boatmen to pick them up, but the seaman was not fond until yesterday morning, and Webber till this morning. They were . both Irishmen, and the latter of a very irascible disposition. He has left three children fatherlem. - The Inquest will, we believe, be held to-day. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT. The Managers of the two Metropolitan Theatres have each engaged one of the most experienced and successful of our Dramatic Writers, to decide upon the fitness of all new pieces, presented to them for re presenation—Mr. Reynolds at Drury-lane, and Mr. Moreton at Covent-garden. Charles Kemble and Liston are in Paris, where they will perform a limited number of nights at the English Theatre; in the Rue Favart, the opening of which, in conse quence of some intrigue between the French actors and the Minister at the head of the Drama in France, was delayed until the 6th or Bth of September. If the Eaglish Theatre in Paris should succeed—of which we entertain considerable doubts--Kean, Macready, Young, 'William Farren, Miss Kelly, and Madame Vestris will occasionally act there. Mr. Price, the lessee of Drury-lane, has, we understand, matured his plans, and completed his engagements for the ensuing season, upon an unusually exten sive scale. In the Musical and Operatic Depart ment, Price will be unrivalled. Braham, Miss Pa ton, Miss Stephens, Horn, and Phillips are all en gaged by him. Charles Mathews, Liston, Jones, Harley, Dowton, and Wallack, in comedy, present a powerful phalanx ; and the Manager has fortunately availed himself of the popular talents of Miss Foote, as a counterpoise to Madame Vestris, at the rival Theatre. In the department of Tragedy, it is said that the loss of Kean, engaged at the other house, will be supplied by a Great Unknown. The actors and actresses of any prominent merit, who were em ployed at this Theatre last season, are retained. Mr. Walrack, whose ill - stir-try and popular manners, as snanwr, were sc veil app;'eciated last season, re tain-541'4s post. Mr. Winston, the Deputy Manager, 4 etires. M. Kenny has a Comedy, in five acts, quite ready for this Theatre, and Mr. Poole has iike:l7;efr engaged to produce a drama soon after the opening, We believe Mr. Beazeley has a Comedy at the came Theatre, and that two new Operas and Mc, now Farces are likewise in progress. The management of Covent-garden - Theatre de volves on Mr. Charles Kemble, certainly oue of the most accomplished actors of the time ; be, however, will be assisted in the stage department by that experienced and sterling perfor mer of the old school, Mr. Fawcett. Charles Kern ble, Kean, and, Young, by their united efforts, will give a brilliant personetion to many of our favourite plays—for instance, Othello, Venice Preserved, Richard the Third, the Merchant of Venice, The Gamester, King Lear, Hamlet, Merry. Wives of Windsor, Julius Ccesar, Macbeth, and some of Massinger'e and Ben Johnson's Plays will be admi rably acted. There will, certainly, be an inferiority in the Operatic department at this Theatre. That excellent actress, Miss Kelly is engaged, and Ma dame Vestris remains at Covent Garden, where aided by Fawcett, William Farren, Wrench, Keeley, John Reeve, and Mrs. Glover, sterling Comedy will continue to be admirably acted, notwithstanding the transfer of Jones's fine talents to old Drury.— Miss Chester is said to have retired from the stage ; she has resided, during the summer, at a little cottage built by herself, on the borders of Windsor Forest. Her loss, in the present state of the Drama, will not easily be supplied, un less the report be true, that the liberal and acute Lessee of Drury-lane hae discovered another Miss O'Neil, in the person of a beautiful young lady, whom chance pointed out to him whilst on an ex cursion in the provinces. The scene-painters and machinists in both the theatres have been sedu lously and actively employed the whole summer. The melo-drama, pantomimes, and ballets, are di rected by young Barrymore at Old Drury, and by Farley at Covent Garden : powerful rivals. Both Theatres intend to open on the Ist of October, and each to perform six nights in the week, from the commencement. Planche, Poole, Moore, and Barry Cornwall, are said to have dramas in preparation for Covent Garden. The comfortable little theatre at the Haymarket will el a very profitable season, not withstandingits occasional disappointments. Kenney, and Planche by the success of their comedies are likely to reimburse Mr. Morris. The English Opera House, under the direction of Mr. Arnold, continues to be well attended. The opera of the Freebooters rises in popularity and attraction every night it is acted, notwithstanding the unfortunate absence of Miss Paton, who, we understand, is rapidly recovering. Terry and Yates open the Adelphi, which theyhave newly cleaned and decorated, on the Ist of October. Yates, aided by Mrs. Yates, has been giving his " Characters, Sketches, and Imitations," at Guern sey, to many crowded audiences. Elliston has en tirely revived the character and credit of the Surrey Theatre, by the well selected dramas which Le has introduced, and his own admirable acting. The King's Theatre, next season, will be managed by Mr. Gro - orn, and otha assignees of Mr. ChaMbers. Bochsa is engaged to superintend the musical de partment, and arrangements have been made with Madame Pasta and Mademoiselle Sontag, each to perform during the season. The enormous amount of law charges has • been repe atedly complained of by us, more e s p ec i a lly i n re from 1501. to 200/. for b e i ng v i rtua ll ferring to verdic t s in actions for libel, in whi ch parties have often had to pay . acquitted by farthing damages, and by the certification' of the Judge. The evil is growing rapidly on us ; it tends to violate the fundamental principles of all Eng lish prosperity--11 denial of justice--and produces th e most oppressive results on individuals. Our readers will find i n ano ther place, a letter from Messrs. Lane and Croft, Solicitors, which we extract from a Sunday Paper. It is a fe ar f u l exemplification of the nature and magnitude of a bill of Costs. We shall simply state, that the narrative contains the particula rs of a Bill of 159/, of whi c h a ll but 291. was .taken oft' in taxation ! We make no com ment on this, but.leave the fact to speak for itself. Wi th respect to the system of Attorneys' coats, taking the matter up generally, we must say that the Le g islature are bound to • interfere ; society will otherwise he beg gered and devoured by an evil which grows by that it feeds on.' It is to be hoped that this will he done for the sake of the respectable part of the legal profession, as well ar of the public; for if the monstrous system of extorting undue sums in coats proceeds, the Lawyers gene rally, to use the strong language of a contemporary, will come to be considered as the pests of society, and provoke • the same feelings of hatred add desire of extirpation as that which existed in England hi former times against the troops othungry and devouring wild beasts, which their :ire scarcely effectual to restrain, an d w hi c h kept .!,t . „, r ; Ju i n z'r t .. o4 , e o f perpetual fear for their existence.-- Sunday 21tnea.

The arrivals of the preceding week have been small of most kinds of Grain, and of Flour moderate. There is a good supply of New Wheat from Essex and Kent, also se veral samples of New Beans, but only a few of New Pease. The quantity of Oats fresh up to-day is small. The best samples of Old Wheat meet a free demand, and fully sup port the terms last quoted ; but the New parcels are lan guid in sale, and rather cheaper. Barley for malting is scarce ; but there is no particular demand for such as yet : the prices are therefore unaltered. Beans are again 2s. per quarter higher. Boiling Pease are so scarce, that they again rather exceed the terms last quoted.. Grey Pease are not so plentiful as of late, and Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. The best descriptions'of Oats meet a slow sale at the terms last quoted, but ordinary samples that are heavy obtain ra ther higher prices for shipping. In the Flour Trade there is no alteration.

This day's market was chiefly stocked with Cod-fish, of other kinds there was rather a limited supply. Salmon, what little there was, appeared very fine, and sold high ; several of the most extensive of the Scotch fisheries are already closed, and after the 10th of next month there will be no Salmon taken from any of the northern waters, but we shall have a supply from the Severn, &c., which fish is much finer than that which is now selling, but the quantity of it brought to market is much less than the Scotch.—The following were the prices : Prime Turbot, each l2s.

Barley, Old Oats, and Pease, as last noted ; New Irish Corn is fall 3d. per 451 b. cheaper than on this day week. Beans are very scarce, and the turn dearer.

STATE OF TRADE.--The accounts which we have received weekly during the last month, from the various manufacturing districts in the western part of this county, all concur in representing the woollen and worsted stuff trades in a state of gradual improvement. The uni versal observation is, that prices are low and profits small, but it ought to be accompanied with the remark that trade is carried on with less risk than in speculative times, and the profits are not diminished by heavy losses. The im provement in the condition of the labouring classes since the autumn last year is equally striking and gratifying.-- Work is in general plentiful, and provisions abundant in quantity, excellent in quality, and reasonable in price.— The retail dealers, particularly in luxuries, who are always the first to feel the depression, and the last to enj o y the revival of trade, ' still complain of small returns and low profits; but these complaints' are less general than they were a few months ago. There has been a small advance in price in the inferior kinds of worsted stuff, of which the - labourer has enjoyed a fair proportion of the benefit. The price of wool remains steady , and is, w e h o p e , f a i r ly r e munerating...Leeds Mercury. .IY~ ~ MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--(THIS DAY). These Sessions commenced to-day at Clerken well, before Mr. CONST and a numerous Bench of Magistrates. The Court-house has undergone con siderable alterations, they can hardly be called im provements, being so contrived as to render it neces sary that every person wishing to be heard by those removed only by a few feet from him should be fur nished with a speaking-trumpet. Mr. PHILLIPS was of opinion that the individual addressed should also have the advantage of an ear-trumpet. The subject excited a lengthened discussion between the Bench and the Bar, and as far as the substance of it could be collected, it was agreed on by all parties, that a few lectures on acoustics would not be thrown away on our modern architects. Several persons summoned as Jurors from Well close-square, and other places within the liberties of the Tower, claimed exemption from serving, on the ground that by a local Act of ParliaMent it was de clared, that no person residing within the Liberties of the Tower, could be compelled to serve as a Juror within the City of London or County of Middlesex. Upon referring to the Statute in ques tion; the Chairman allowed the exemption. As soon as the Grand Jury had retired, an indi vidual of a rather respectable appearance, was put to the bar, charged with indecently assaulting Hannah Watkins, an infant of between eight and nine years old. Mr. PHILLIPS, for the prosecution, stated, that as the charge was of most serious kind, and rested solely on the evidence of the little girl, he would abstain from making any statement from his brief. Hannah Watkins was then examined, and deposed with great pertness to a grossly inconsistent state ment. Her evidence varied so much from the in structions of Mr. Phillips that the Learned Gentle man suggested to Mr. Adolphus, the expediency o f not cross-examining until her accuracy as to some collateral facts was ascertained from other witnesses. Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defendant, consented, and Mrs. Watkins, the child's mother, was produced and contradicted a material part of the child's state ment. _ _ Mr. PHILLIPS said, as the case now stood, he could not think of pressing it. Mr. ADOLPHUS on the part of the defendant, thanked the Learned Gentleman for the delicacy with which he conducted this most unfounded pro secution. The BENCH concurred in the observation, and a verdict of acquittal was instantly returned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATETRSA LL's THIS DAY Six o' Clock. The rooms were well attended, and the betting in some parts of the day very brisk ; indeed, now is the time for the horses to take their places, and develope their respec tive chances. Being the last day but one of meeting before the members adjourn to the splendid new rooms opened by Mr. Hodgkins at Doncaster, which is to be the general ren. dezvous, and to which nearly all the leading characters have subscribed, every one seemed anxious to snap up every little incident which may influence the horses. Matilda, hledora and Reviewer, have taken a sudden leap, and seem to puzzle some of the best judges. 6to 5 was offered against any two. 5 to 4on Reviewer's starting against that of Pedlar or Nonplus. 3 were backed at even against the field.

It being understood that the Mayor of Newcastle (Archibald Reed, Esq.) had received a letter from the Marquis of Londonderry, under date of the 3d instant, stating that his Lordship expected the honour of the Duke of Wellington's company at Wynyard shortly, and that he was pe►suaded his noble guest would derive much pleasure in ac companying him (the Marquess) to pay his respects to the Mayor, at Newcastle, during his Grace's stay in the North, several of the leading inhabitants and merchants of Newcastle drew up a requisition to the Chief Magistrate, requesting him " to call a Meeting of the inhabitants of this town and neigh bourhood, for the purpose of considering what mea sures it will be proper to adopt in order to receive his Grace in a manner worthy of his great achieve ments, and to show that the services he has rendered to his country are gratefully remembered in the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne." In consequence of this requisition, which bore upwards of one hundred signatures, the Mayor ap pointed a Meeting to be held at the Guildhall this day, at one o'clock. Shortly after that hour his Worship took the Chair, at as crowded and res pectable an assemblage of the inhabitants of New castle as we ever remember to have seen upon any occasion. JOHN CLAYTON, Esq., the Town Clerk, opened the proceedings by reading the requisition ; after which, The Right Worshipful the MAYOR read the letter he had received from the Marquess of Lon donderry, as previously noticed. His Worship pro ceeded to state, that the Marquess of Londonderry would be in Newcastle that day, when he should do himself the honour to wait upon him and make all further arrangements in his power; and concluded by expressing his readinesS to hear the sentiments of any gentleman on the subject of the Meeting.— (Applause.) Sir MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY rose and said, he was at all times happy to meet the inhabitants of this town, and they knew that if his services could be in any way useful, they had only to command them, and they would be rendered with pleasure. On this occasion he had been requested to move a resolution, for the consideration of the meeting, which he did with feelings of the greatest satisfac tion. He need hardly say to the meeting how much the country was indebted to the Duke of Welling ton, or how ably he had, at all times, conducted the daring intrepidity, of the British army.—(Applause.) To that spirit and intrepidity he (the Dake) had always, and very properly so, been ready to do the strictest justice. He had always been ready to ac knowledge, that without those daring qualities which constituted the character of the British army, his military talents would have been of little or no importance.—(Applause.)--At the same time we ought not to forget how eminently that intrepidity had been aided, and how effective it had been ren dered, under the guidance of the Noble Duke, whose reward had been such as a grateful country only should bestow, or a hero receive. —( Applause.) The worthy Baronet concluded by moving the first resolution, to the effect that this meeting regards, with pride and satisfaction, the intended visit of his Grace to this town, which was seconded by Mr. Alderman Bell, and carried unanimously, Mr. Alderman SMITH moved the second resolu tion, to the effect that nothing should be wanting in order to display the - feelings of honour and respect due to the great Commander to whom the country was so deeply indebted; which was seconded by Ge neral Terrot, and carried as before. DIxoN DIXON, Esq., (High Sheriff for Northum berland) moved the third resolution, for the appoint ment of a Committee to carry the views of the meet ing into effect. This was seconded by Mr. Alder man Forster, Alfred Hall, Esq. Sheriff, proposing that the High Sheriff of Northumberland be added to the Committee. Carried as before. The Right Worshipful the MAYOR concluded the business of this very interesting Meeting, by ex prtssing his high gratification at the great unanimity which had prevailed. Mr. Alderman SMITH moved a vote of thanks to the Right Worshipful the Mayor, which was carried by acclamation. [For the Resolutions and other details, Ai ee Ad vertisement.)

CIIATSWORTH.--The Duke of DEVON smaR is now entertaining at his princely chateau nearly all the neighbouring Nobility, with others from the Buxton Wells.

GALWAY ASSIZES, Am. O. (From the Dublin Morning Register.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.. DOYLE V. CLARIE. Counsellor BLAKE opened the pleadings. The case was an action for a breach of promise of mar- riage. There were different counts : the first was the defendant's promise to marry on the quest ; an other count was, that the defendant promised to marry plaintiff on the 16th January, 1827; and there was another count for money laid out in dress, in which special damages for 1001. were laid. The damages were laid at 5,0001. Mr. O'CONNELL then rose and said—Gentlemen of the Jury, this is an action for a breach of promise of marriage. The father of the plaintiff was an apo thecary, residing in Athenry. He died about 21 years ago, leaving a wife and four orphan children, the youngest of whom, the plaintiff in the present action, was then an infant, not able to appreciate the amount of the heavy loss she had sustained. In 1819 the plaintiff first became acquainted with the defendant, Mr. Hugh Clarke ; it commenced in a most respectable way for my client. The acquaint ' mice was nothing more than ordinary civility till 1822, and in that year the defendant became marked tin his attentions to Miss Doyle, and at length obtained her promise of marriage, provided he could obtain the consent of her mother and bro ther. It was manifest from the circumstance I have related that she could have no fortune, and the de fendant was perfectly aware of it. Mr. C.,at the end of 1822, commenced a correspondence with Miss Doyle, and wrote several letters to her, which were an swered by her married sister with the consent of her mother, none of them by herself. Various reasons were assigned by the defendant as causes of delay till 1524, when her brother thought fit to remon strate with him. Mr. Clarke wrote a very civil reply, and stated .that he could not conveni-ntly marry immediately, and wished to have it delayed a little longer. The, family refused to listen to any further postponement, and declared their willingness to have the match broken off and for ever put an end to. This was no anxiety to catch at Mr. Clarke, it was a perfectly deliberate act on their parts, bat showed no desire to fasten upon him or seek for any sort of compensation, for he was allowed to depart as freely as he had commenced the acquaintance. Gentlemen, you may easily conceive that Mr. Doyle did not feel satisfied at this treatment; it was un kind, ungenerous, and unmanly. In the summer of 1825, Mr. Clarke resolved to recommence the acquaintance through the interference of some clergymen. He met with difficulties of course, but they met in company again, and at a dinner, to which both plaintiff and defendant were invited, he renewed his intimacy, regretted that he had so long deprived himself of happiness, asked permission and renewed his acquaintance with the lady, and again renewed the proposal of marriage. The treaty being thus set on foot once more, it seems to be a curious species of capriciousness that actuated the defendant; he seemed most anxious to have the treaty renewed, but equally anxious to avoid its fulfilment, desirous of the marriage taking place but avoiding the reality of that state. It was impossible to endure this uncertainty any longer, and the family resolved to bring it to a conclusion. When Mr. Clarke saw this, he announced his in tention of making a suitable settlement upon her, and every arrangement was made, the bridal dresses were prepared, and a minuteness of attention to every particular exhibited by him, and it was to have taken place in November, 1826. But just when about to take place, it was, announced that Mr. Clarke was ill, and he was attended by an Army Surgeon; Doctor O'Malley also attended him, and gave it as his opinion that the symptoms were by no means so aggravated as had been described.. Ad vent approached, when he recovered, , and con sequently the marriage should be put off, as ao reason existed for a special dispensation; this brought • the treaty to Christmas, 1826, at which time he had appointed to come to Galway to have it celebrated there. The same excuse was made for his not coming at Christmas, and arrange ments were made for the marriage a short time after wards; but when the time approached, he wrote a letter as if from his bed, expressing extreme anxiety that he could not come as he had promised, and spoke of his state of health as so desperate that he believed he would never be able to leave his bed.— The plaintiff and her brother, on receipt of this letter, set off instantly to Loughrea, mid found him at a dinner party !—(Laughter.)—The brother was, as you may suppose, considerably agitated, and it is not to be wondered at if be remonstrated against such conduct in a harsh and personal manner. The de fendant expressed his sincere regret at the delay, and fixed positively on the 16th January as the day when he would be married, and during the inter vening time, he wrote several letters of affection to the lady. He arrived in Galway on the 14th, and on 15th was again taken suddenly ill !—(Laughter.)— Mr. D. advised him to call in a physician and have some advice; but no, he had an utter contempt for medicine; yet, so ill was he, that he declared to his God that be could not cross the streets, and at that very moment he had bespoken a chaise, and at the hour of nine o'clock at night lie fled from Galway. Gentlemen, I have detailed to you simply and unaf fectedly the circumstances of this case as they have occurred. There is a curious species of pride about this man which it is exceedingly difficult to under stand, for he had the courage to announce every where that he was actually married, he told it re peatedly, and boasted of having said so, and to add to the injury which he did her, she rejected an ad vantageous proposal made her by a young man in business in Dublin, and the defendant gloried in the rejection. Gentlemen of the Jury, you will say as fathers, as brothers, and as men, whether you are to encourage this violation of a sacred engagement —you will say whether you do or not by your verdict. Gentlemen of the Jury—l have heard as I came through your streets, that some grovelling defence of incapacity—(laughter)—was to be preferred for the defendant, in order to lessen the damages; but I would say, if his Counsel endeavoured to bring forward that defence—the miscreant—who could know that so well as himself, could any person be so well aware of it as him ? and is it possible to tell a Jury that a female was not to enter into a contract of this kind till she had ascertained the particulars— till a Jury of Surgeons or Matrons bad sat upon the case.--(Roars of laughter.)—l would hope that the instructions 'which hie Counsel would receive on that head would overpower their intellects, and I would expect that the Jury would inquire of the Judge, as a former Jury in this Court did—tp mark their contempt for the wretch bearing the form, but not havinz the attributes or faculties of a man— whether of themselves they could multiply the da mages laid in the indictment, and whether it was possible for them to give more than the plaintiff's Counsel asked. Gentlemen of tho. Jury, there is no defence to be brought forward. My Learned Friend will make—and of course he is very capable of so doing—a powerful appeal to you on behalfof his client; perhaps lie has been instructed to throw an air of ridicule over the claim of the humble plaintiff, and that no art will be left untried to lessen the damages. But consider, Gentlemen of the Jury, has she not fallen into scorn and contempt enough already; is not every finger pointed at her, and does not every tongue cry out as she walks through your town, there goes the girl who was jilted by Hugh Clarke— there she is, the unwedded bride, the unmarried wife—there, she is, so contemptible and low, that even Hugh Clarke has turned her into ridicule and scorn. Perhaps a plea of poverty may be set up for him, but Gentlemen it will be proved that lie is the brother and partner of a man worth 60 or 100,000/. Gentlemen of the Jury, von will spew your detesta tion of this causeless and long continued treachery by your damages, and by punishing the present de linquent, you will vindicate society from the possi bility of its recurrence. Mr. Dominick Doyle. brother to the plaintiff, was then examined and confirmed by his evidence the c hi e f points in Mr. O'Connell's statement. Dr. O'Malley was then called and sworn.—ls 's acquainted with the plaintiff since 1824, sad was first introduced to the defendant in December, 1826 ; on the Bth of January, 1827, first heard of the ap proaching marriage; prescribed for the defendant in 1826, and in November, told him the less medicine he took the better it would be for him ; his only complaint was an affection of the stomach. Met him on the 14th of January at plaintiff's kouse, and at that time he appeared to be labouring under some peculiar affection, which witness says is indescribable ; after dinner the defendant slept for awhile, which completely removed his complaint; when he awoke he sung several songs and appeared quite gay. Cross-examined by Mr. Keating—Defendant was attended after witness left him, by some other medi cal men; knows all the plaintiff's family, and went to Lougbrea as a mutual friend to both parties i • did not go there to administer either a ball or a bolus ; was anxious to have the intended marriage arranged. Mr. Keating—Doctor, may I ask what you pre scribe for this complaint which you term indescri bable ? Witness.—Give me a guinea and I'll tell you.— (Roars of laughter.) Witness sings a tolerable good sang; one of those sung by defendant was "Polly Hopkins." Miss Doyle declined singing the lady's part, and witness sung it ; called the plaintiff " silly Mr. Tomkins," which was some of his part of the duet. _ _ _ The case of the plaintiff having been closed, Mr. North rose and addressed the Jury as follows : Gentlemen of the Jury,--I do not much admire this species of action, any more than the actions for criminal conversation which our laws and the juris prudence of England sanction, from the universal sentiment entertained by our neighbours on the Continent of their being most barbarous and dis graceful to the country—and when they wish to show their superiority over Great Britain, they point to those disgusting transactions of private life which are made the subject of public observation through the columns of a newspaper—transactions which should be ever veiled by the curtain of deli cacy and privacy, and screened from the public eye_ I participate in this feeling of disapprobation • but, Gentlemen, however that may be, the subject for our consideration is, whether theeeactions are allowed,and certain it is that they are permitted by the laws of the land. Gentlemen of the Jury, in most actions of this kind there are circumstances which, when the case comes before the Jury and the public, are calculated to disguise whatever is offensive or disgusting in them. The defendant is generally a gay, gallant, attractive, captivating young man, and the lady interesting, confiding, and loving. She yields to the charms of the gentlemen, because they are such as from the. natural feelings of the sea ere calculated to secure the affections of their hearts. He is a young man with the flush of health in his cheek, with a spark- ling eye and captivating glance; these are the things which produce impressions on that sex, and will so bug as it may please Providence to make us what we are, and so long as it gives those feehngs to young ladies, which teach them there are great though mys terious purposes of nature which they are destined to accomplish. Gentlemen, am I entitled to say in this ease there is no love at all ? Do you believe, or does any man living believe, that Anne Doyle, whom take to be what my learned Friend has represented her, arrived at that ripe and perfect state of woman hood, round, ripe, and swelling on the sight, beau tiful, interesting, and well accomplished, as my learned Friend has contended ; did he, Aid Dominick Doyle, venture to tell that Jury that she conceived the pas sion of love for the miserable, disgusting, filthy Hugh Clarke ? Love for Hugh Clarke I Albeit my time for such sensations is long since past, I might as well fall in love with her as she with him. Gen tlemen, such sensations could not exist between them, for it is contrary to the laws and ordinances of nature, to connect youth,and health, and loveliness, on the one side with age, and disease, and filthiness on the other. This is an attempt, if I may be permitted to use figurative language, to chang e th e scyt h e of death into the torch of hymen, for Hugh Clarke seems to be labouring under a series of illness from the mo ment this intercourse commenced, down to the time when it was attempted to force upon him a mar riage, from which reason and nature revolted, as did the unfortunate viciim himself." Gentlemen, if there was no love in the case, we must trace t o some other motive this desire to bring about a connection, and it is Rot difficult to find out the motive that Doyle had in view. His Lordship then charged the Jury at con siderable length. The Jury retired, and in about half an hour returned with a verdict of damages— One Thousand Pounds, and Sixpence Costs.
