Crossexamined—l knew Mrs. Slade before her marriage —my opinion of Mrs. Slade was, that she was not a fit companion for a-young female. By the Juncr—The reaso❑ why I visited after the con duct I have described, was, that Mrs. Slade wished me to go there. Anna Maria Sellers—l am a sister of the last witness.- I used to visit at Mrs. Slade's, and to walk out with her. Mrs. Slade used to kiss hands to gentlemen we met. Recollected Mrs. Slade sending to the druggist for some thing. I thought she called it love-powder--(Laughter) —and that it was to make people (gentlemen) admire her, and she was to put it into something they were to drink. Cross-examined—Mrs. Slade got lots of love-powder; it was red.' Witness was to walk in the lane (for the 51.) until Mrs. Slade came to her. Witness and her sister used not to talk often about these matters—(the kissing the officers, the boy in the church-yard, &c.) Hannah Miller—l lived twelve months with Mr. and Mrs. Slade, two years ago. I have seen my mistress the worse for liquor a great many times. Cross-examined—They were sometimes kind to each other. It was her drinking that caused him to act un kindly to her. They were very fond of their children. . Sarah Smith—l live with my father at Parkstone, and I know the plaintiff's wife. I know Peter Frond, who worked for the plaintiff as a gardener. I have seen Mrs. Slade take off his hat and run away with it. I have seen her pull his clothes, and have seen her take off his neck cloth, and run away with it. I have seen him kiss her, and run after her. He used to take her in his arms, and I heard her say, " 0 God ! Peter, don't squeeze me so" —(Laughter)—and he used then to let her go, and they would have a chase up the garden. 1 have her jump on his back. I have seen this frequently.. Mr. Serjeant WILDE replied. The L Gentleman commented upon the evidence on the part e defendant, and particularly that of the two Misses s, who were totally unworthy of credit, and who inued to keep company with a person who, to believe their account, was the most profligate wretch that could be found, even in that most profligate of places, London. The evidence of those females was quite improbable. The eldest addressed him in a tremulous voice; but when she told the beastly story, she spoke out in a strong and staunch tone. Mr. Justice GASELEE having briefly summed up, The Jury found for the plaintiff —Damages lOW. The trial commenced in the afternoon, and was not over until half-past twelve at night. . - • . . • .

The Countes of SUFFOLK had married Mr. How Ann, and they were so poor that they took the reso lution of going to Hanover, before the death of Queen ANNE, in order to pay their court to the future royal family. Such was their poverty that, having invited some friends to dinner, and being disappointed of a small remittance, she was forced to sell her hair to furnish the entertainment. Long wigs were then in fashion, and her hair being fine, long, and fair, produced her twenty pounds. —Mirror. CAPTAIN ROSS'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION.-- The English expedition to the Arctic Pole (slys the Illoni tear) has safely reached the 67th degree of north latitude. The steam-boat has traversed the most dangerous seas of the globe. But, wishing to touch at the coast of Spitz bergen, she was overtaken by a violent gale of wind, which carried av ay her maintop.mast. Owing to a very fortu nate accident, especially in a region where no spars proper to repair such a loss could be expected to be procured, a n English vessel happened to get among the ice, and was therefore abandoned by its crew, when her mainmast was taken out by the steamer, as well as the provisions and fuel, that were requisite for continuing the voyage to the Pole.

COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING THE WEEK. There is, at length, some expectation that the circumstances of the horrid and most mysterious murder at Calenick, near Truro, for the discovery of which Go vernment have offered a reward of 100/,, will be brought to light. On Wednesday, two Magistrates, WILLIAM PETER, Esq., and the Rev. RICHARD POLWIIELE, went to Calenick, and entered into an examination of the hus band of the deceased, and of the other parties who resided in the house when the atrocious act was committed, and who, in fact, reside there still. We understand the result of the investigation was such as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Magistrates, that the murder was perpetrated by some person or persons residing on the spot, and who had the means of knowing the unfortunate woman was alone in the lower part of the house at the time ; and it has been thought proper to take into custody three men— two of them brothers, named BRAY, and the third named MAY—who live in the house, and who all admit they were at home at the time the murder was cominitt,d. They have been lodged in Truro prison, are ordemi to be kept separate, and are to be examined again this day.— , IVest Briton. A WILD BOAR HUNT.—A scene which we suspect has not been witnessed before in Scotland for many a day, took place lately by the side of the Deverm, in Banffshire—a wild boar hunt. Some years since the Earl of FIFE imported a boar and three sows of the true Ger man breed, which reared a numerous progeny, all savage, of a dark iron-gray colour, and untameable as the parent stock. Some of them long traversed the forest of Braemar, but all dropt off one by one, excepting a fine boar which the Earl presented to a keen sportsman, Tuomas PEEL, Esq. at Carnousie. Here the animal rusticated in in glorious ease for a time, till one day he contrived to escape to the adjoining woods, w hence he duly sallied at nights to the neighbouring turnip and potatoe fields, rooting up all that came in his way. One night he happened to find himself beside the beautiful mansion-house of Dunlugas, and he immediately began ploughing up the earth with his tusks till lse had made a wide deep furrow across the whole lawn. These pranks rendered the boar an unwelcome visitant wherever be went, and many ineffectual attempts were made to shoot him. Lately, however, he was driven forth by the deep snow, and coming in contact with a boy, the beast threw him down, and literally stript off his clothes, but without inflicting any injury of his person. The boy ran home with the tidings of his escape and his assailant, and next morning the whole country side turned out with dry , and gun to hunt the boar. His path was easily tracked ' in the snow, and on meeting the fierce in truder a spirited scene ensued. His extraordinary speed, no less than his ferocity, kept the belligerents at bay for sonic time, but he was at lct,gth destroyed, pierced by a number of bullets. The animal had evidently suffered sorely front famine during his wild campaign in the woods and snow, and the marks of several shot, of old endurance, were visible on his grim gaunt c4rcase..--/n -verass Courier.

FURNELL. ' Mr. Cor.refncie opened the pleadings. The declara tion charged the defendant with having had criminal con versation with. the plaintiff's wife, and for which the plain tiff sought pecuniary compensation. The damages were laid at 3,0001. Mr. Serjeant WI Lnr had the honour to appear that day as Counsel for Mr. Robert Slade, a most respectable mer chant, carrying on business at Pool, in this county ; and that gentleman complained of an injury of the most se rious description that could possibly occupy the attention of a Jury. It was one of those cases in which the de fendant had deprived the plaintiff of the affections of his wife, and of the comfort and enjoyment of her society. The plaintiff's time was chiefly occupied in business—he was not a man of pleasure—and when not actually en gaged in business, his time was devoted to domestic com forts, content with enjoying the company of his wife and children. The plaintiff was a man about 34 , yiars of age, his wife was nearly of the same age ; they had five children living, and death had deprived them of others. By the act of the defendant the plaintiff had lost his best comfort —namely, his wife ; and his children had been robbed of a mother in their tender age, being all very young. • Mr.enteneld was also a married man. Mr. Slade, as he had already them, was a merchant of considerable business and . great respectability ; he married his present wife in 1817. She was educated at an establishment where the respectable female children in the neighbourhood were brought up. The plaintiff and his wife were united under circumstances offering every favourable prospect.— Mr. Furnell was also a gentleman engaged in a respect able commercial establishment in Pool ; he appeared to have fixed his attention on Mrs. Slade. The first act no ticed on the part of the defendant was his watching Mrs, Slade when she went out with her children and a servant to take a walk; it would be found that he always attended her on those occasions; that the servant was frequently sent away with the children for the purpose of buying toys; and it would be proved that the defendant on some of those occasions indulged in those liberties (such as kiss ing, &c.) which showed the course of his inclinations.— It would Appear that they sometimes returned together to the plaintiff's house, and it would be shown that at one time the defendant joined Mrs. Slade, and went with her to her husband's house, where he was seen in one of the lower rooms, and one of the servants saw Mrs. Slade sit ting on the defendant's knee ; in a short time after they were missed out of that room, and were seen going into one on the second floor, and coming out after some time. This kind of intercourse would he proved to have taken place several times, and always when Mr. Slade was out—but generally on Sunday morning, when he was at church. Latterly those visits were marked by circumstances which left no doubt of the criminality of the parties. At last some reports reached the ears of Mr. Slade, and of course he, became very unhappy ; very soon after the defendant was made acquainted with the fact that the plaintiff had heard of his intimacy with his wife. The defendant wrote a letter to Mr. Slade, stating that he had heard the reports, and how very sorry he was that any think of the kind should have been circulated, and pledged his honour that nothing ever happened between him and Mrs. Slade ; the plaintiff was thus deceived, and the de fendant so successfully imposed on him that he believed nothing criminal took place between the parties. It, how ever, happened that about this time Mrs. Slade left her home for a week, and Mr. Slade then discovered those facts which would leave no doubt of the criminality of the parties. They then separated, and Mrs. Slade has since been living under the eye of her mother at Pool. The following witnesses were then examined on behalf of the plaintiff:— Jane Lockier—l lived with Mr. and Mrs. Slade three or four months before they separated. There are five chil dren living. I was nursemaid. I walked out with Mrs. Slade and the.children. They did not visit much. Mr. Slade was a domestic man. I knew Mr. Purnell. I first saw him when I went out for a walk betwqen July and August of last year. We were walking round Fads el:, a field near Pool. I had never seen him before with Mrs. Slade. He had never visited at the house. He walked with Mrs. Slade about two hours. I saw hint the next day. He walked with her then, and the children and I walked behind. They frequently met in this way four or five times a-week. The familiarity increased after this.' I saw Mr. Furnell kiss Mrs. Slade. He had been with her two hours and a half that day. I told my mistress what I had seen. Mr. Furnell came to my mistress after that, and spoke to her, anti she then directed me to go and buy cakes for the children. The children went with me. Mr. Furnell came to the house on the Sunday following. My master usually went to church about half-past ten. Mr. Furnell came about a quarter-past eleven. I heard him speak in the parlour, and heard my mistress's voice there also. My fellow-servant was at home also. The door was shut. There is a window at the back of the parlour, looking into the yard. After I had heard the voice, I told the other servant, and then went up stairs to the nursery. I could then look through the window into the parlour. I looked in, and saw my mistress sitting on Mr. Furnell's knee, with his arm round her waist. I saw her for five or six minutes. I was an hour in the nursery before I went down. Mr. Furnell was still in the parlour. He went away about half-past twelve. Mr. Slade usually came from church at a quarter to one. I saw them again the next day in the field. Mr. Slade used to treat his wife very kindly. Cross.examined—July was the last time I saw Mr. Fur nell at the house. I never saw her in a state of intoxication before this, but I did about a week after she took up with Furnell. Rachael Silcock—l am a married woman. I lived with Mr. Slade about five months, and left about August or September last. I know Mr. Furnell. I saw hint at my master's house at the latter end of July four or five times a week. I have seen the defendant and my mistress go into the best bed-room and lock the door. I went and tried it. They remained in the bed •room about 20 minutes. They were there afterwards. I have gone into that room after they came out, and the bed appeased as if some one had been lying upon it. They have been nine or ten times in the bed-room. The youngest child is four years and the eldest twelve years old. Mr. West—l am a medical man at Pool, and have known the plaintiff and his wife 15 years. I have attended Mrs. Slade five times when confined. She "aborted" five other times. I never saw any want of harmony between the plaintiff and her. They lived a retired life. Mr. Slade is about 35, and Mre. Slade about 32. Mr. Furnell is about 50 years of age. He is a timber-merchant at Pool, and a partner in a respectable house. Mr. Slade and Mr. Fur- Kell are members of the Corporation. Cross-examined—The defendant is a married man and has three children. Mr. Thomas Arnold—l am an attorney at Pool. I married a cousin of the plaintiff. I visited him and his wife. I never observed any thing but the greatest kindness between them. Miss Wade—_l am not related to the parties. I have been in the habit of sometimes visiting the plaintiff and his wife. Their conduct with respect to kindness was no thing but what was proper. Mr. East:lNF, (for the defendant) would call witnesses to prove that the wife of the plaintiff was a most abandoned and profligate woman, and that the defendant had conferred a blessing upon her children by causing her being removed front them. Charlotte Sellers examined—l am the first cousin of the plaintiff's wife. Mr. Slade has two residences, one at Pool, and another at Parkstone. I have made visits to Mrs. Slade. and at one time for 10 months, about five years ago. I have walked about with her ; I once walked on a road from Winborne to Ringwood; it was about five years ago; we Diet two officers ; they passed by us ; I afterwards saw them again ; we both looked hack ; they bad just Passed ; I saw cne of them kiss Mrs. Slade ; she did not make any resistance ; I told her that if her hus band knew it, he would be offended; site said be would not know it; sde said one of them was a handsome man, and that she should like to meet him in the evening, and asked me to walk with her. I did not do so. I have heard her nam e a Mr. Humphrey ; she once made a pro posal to me to walk to meet him ; we were to walk on the road to Sturt ; Mrs. Slade said he was very rich, and perhaps he would give her 10/. ; and if I would go with her, I should have 5/. of the money; she said he had met a female on the road, and had given her 10/. Mr. Slade was Sheriff of Pool during_ that time ; he was out one evening ; Mrs. Slade was at home ; Miss Slade and my self were at home also. During that evening I heard Mr. Cooper Pass; Mrs. Slade talked to a person at the door SINGULAR APPLICATION. A venerable-looking old man, about seventy years of age, with a remarkably tine cast of features, and a long flowing beard, came yesterday before the Magistrates, at Union-Hall, to make the following singular application. When the applicant first commenced his address, he did it so abruptly, and in so incoherent a manner, that he excited considerable merriment. Mr. CHAMBERS-Pray, are you a Jew?--Applicant (hastily)—No; I am a Christian. Mr. CHAMBERS—I did not wish to hurt your feelings. I merely thought so in consequence of your wearing your beard unshorn. Applicant—Heaven regards not these outward appear ances; they arise merely from the fanciful dispositions of men ; the proud Asiatic, whose religion tells him never to smooth his chin, and the enlightened European, who deems it necessary not to allow his beard to grow, will alike find seats in the mansions of bliss, if righteous in their actions and holy in their faith. Mr. CHAMBERS—I again repeat I did not mean to of fend you. Applicant—l believe you, Sir. lam a Christian—a believer in the truth of Johanna Southcote. Having said this much, I will thank you to direct me in the following case :—The old man the❑ stated that his son having lately died, he was anxious to obtain the body from the widow of the deceased, conceiving that she had not treated him during his last illness with that attention which became a wife, having, in fact, left him entirely to the care of the applicant himself. His demand for the body of his son having met with a refusal, he hid locked the door of the room and taken away the key, which he had afterwards been compelled to deliver up. He stated in conclusion, that he had purchased a coffin and engraved the name with his own hand. Mr. SWABEV...-1. do not think we can interfere; the widow has certainly a right to bury her own husband. Applicant—lie is no longer her husband—the contract between them is dissolved—if he were her husband, she could not now marry again, for then she would have two husbands ; but she could be married, and is allowed to do so by the law of the land, if she thought proper to morrow. Mr. SwAnEY—These are subtleties which we are not in the habit of having brought before us. Applicant—Probably not; but even the marriage cere mony itself declares that the contract is dissolved at the decease of either the husband or wife, for it sets forth that they shall be true and faithful to each other " until death do them part," distinctly proving that the clai.ns of either then are no longer available, and come what may 1 will have the body of my poor boy, and this hand shall consign it to a peaceful grave. There was a degree of feeling and pathos in the old man'■ manner, which appeared to excite general sympathy. Inspector Manning then kindly ❑ndertook to proceed to the widow to endeavour to make some arrangement with her as to the funeral, satisfactory to the poor father, who thinking the Magistrates for their kindness towards him, with much urbanity took his leave. The driving-boats engaged in the mackarel fishery at Mount's Bay, have not been able to do much during the last week. The fishery is carried on during the night, and very bright moonlight is found to be unfavour able to the success of the hardy and adventurous indivi duals engaged in that hazardous business.—Exiter Alfred. J. PERCIVAL, a son of Mr. H. PERCIVAL, of Manningtree, coal-meter, on the 25th of February last, went out about twelve o'clock in the day, in a punt, for an hour or two's diversion at wild-fowl shooting; he was accompanied by a young man named ARNOLD, whom he engaged to manage the boat. As they did not return at the expected seasonable time, intense and painful anxiety was naturally felt by their respective parents, whose pain ful feelings can be better conceived than expressed, during the protracted anxiety of that night, the following day, and part of Saturday, when information was re ceived at Manningtree, which realized all the painful forebodings as. to their fate. The master and crew of a small vessel, in her way down the river from the New Mill to Harwich, about two o'clock on the day in ques tion, had their attention directed to the report of a gun, apparently not far distant, but they could not discover from whence it proceeded, and the master remarked to one of the men, " Why tilt re fly the swans, but I cannot see any body that shot at them."— No further notice was taken at the time; about half an hour afterwards a boat, bottom upwards, was seen drifting alongside the vessel, which was, of course, picked up, and found empty; it was afterwards disco ♦ered to be the boat of PERCIVAL and his companion.— Upon the foregoing information the most active and prompt means were resorted to for the recovery of the bodies, the channel was dragged, and daily search made upon the ooze, without effect, till the following Thursday (the 4th instant), when a fisherman by the name of SAUNDERS, while spearing for eels, found the two guns very near the place mentioned by the master of the vessel : conti nuing his occupation, he within a bout 200 yards further discovered the body of PERCIVA e next day, within a A b ß o N ut 2'o ol, , y , a a r s ds fo f u ro n n d l . the rr a s i ; eh : eist were conveyed to their innea. spot, the body of k li v p l o s ie p ?v E. : e ; r v s o ss e o a e r a tf l, o c , ( tit Herald, (with v t e t : e i e a ft itrisr,:: stopped.t 'I'I m atcl , found r li t a I t i ty .inui,, ip,ast " The Board" of Trinity College—namely, the Provost and the senior Fellows—have done now what they should have done in October twelve , month, if they bad wished then to preserve the character of the University from the contamination of factious politics. They have issued a precept, or a circular, to the junior Fellows, who are the tutors, enjoining, in the most emphatic terms, the discontinuance of all political clubs amongst the students, either within the walls of the college or without. In short, they have pronounced an ana thema against the Brunswick Clubs, so that no youth can belong hereafter to the society without incurring expulsion. I do not say that this is a work of supererogation now, inasmuch as the prin ciple inculcated is a good one, but it is super fluous. The Brunswick Clubs closed the day the Royal assent was given to the Relief Bill, an the sectarian agitation in the t our ry has altogethe , ceased. It would be more germai e t ) the present wants and evils, of the College, if th senior Fellows and the Provost came to a det -rmination to make a more equitable arrangement with regard to the num ber of students. A junior of only a few years' stand ing has filled his chambers by the fury of his polities, while what I must consider the most respectable class of the Fellows are almost without pupils. One man, in a word, may enjoy 1,800/. or 1,9001. a year, while another, every way his superior, has scarcely 200/. I wish that some commission of inquiry issued to investigate the actual state of the college; and particularly with a view to the mode in which they employ their surplus capital. It would be right, for instance, to know whether they are entitled by their charter to come into the market for the pur pose of buying up advowsons. Their landed estates are about 27,000/. or 30,000/. a year. How are these disposed of To promote the interests of learning, will be the reply. Perhaps so; but the public are strangely incredulous, and will not be sa tisfied without an investigation. As to college poli tics, the resignation of Lefroy is fatal to his elec tioneering interests. He was the Provost's man, in case Mr. Croker had retired ; but as the Provost ship of Dublin College •is , generally the half-way house to a Bishopric, I imagine Dr. Kyle will pause before he throws himself into the arms of the opposition, if indeed there be such a thing as a Tory confederacy against the Government. It may bet o in England perhaps, but we scarcely hear its dying echoes here. Never surely was there any thing, would almost say so miraculous, as the perfect peace we enjoy in Ireland. People are again coming to gether, the honest Protestants laughing at their apprehensions, and the factious gentry laughing at ' the dupes they made. Much remains to be done for Ireland, but the ground for improvement has been laid by the union which has been accomplished between the people. Great complaints continue to be made in various quarters about the operation of the Vestry Act, nor are these complaints confined, as some of yourreaders might imagine, to the Catholics. On the contrary, there is an appearance of a general junction between Catholics and Protestants on the subject. At Lis nadill, in the archdiocese of Armagh—nay, forming part of the parish of Armagh itself,—a meeting was convened on the Bth inst., for the purpose of taking into consideration means of preventing the district from being assessed without the consent of the in habitants for the erection of a new church. You need not be told that Armagh is a cathedral city, and not wanting in churches. Protestants and Ca tholics assembled, but the former in greater num hers, and went to the church to hold their meeting. The clergyman, however, refused the keys, and the people, not in the best temper, as you may easily suppose, with the clerical authorities, were received into the house of a neighbouring gentleman, where they speedily passed resolutions and agreed to a petition. " Men," says my authority, " who had heretofore looked upon each other as natural ene mies, were unanimous in a fixed and firm determi nation not to be diverted from watching over their own affairs by the baneful influence of party." The Lord Mayor of Dublin, I understand, is in trouble. There are half a score actions against him for interfering with the markets without legal autho rity. The Attorney-General is decisive on the point.—iliorning Paper. PROFITS OF THE COUNTY COROISTERSHIP. —About twelve years ago a contest took place which ter minated in the election of Mr. OTTAWAY, of Staplehurst ; five years since, a second contest occurred, ending in the return of Mr. Tnunsrow, of Cranbrook ; on each of these occasions at least two thousind pounds were spent by the contending candidates; the net emolument derived from the office upon an average of the last five years has been under 151. a year ; while the officer has travelled annually for the purpose of taking his inquisitions three hundred miles !—Kentish Chronicle.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S Divorce Bill, in pro ceeding through the Committee of the House of Lords, re ceived an amendment;—the amendment was, striking out the clause prohibiting Lady ELLENBOROUGH from marry ing Prince SWARTZENBURGII. A similar clause is intro-. duced into all their Divorce Bills, when brought into their Lordships' House, in compliance with the orders ; in Com mittee, or in progress of the Bill, the clause is struck out, and by such means are the orders complied with and evaded. The sale of furniture, &c. at the Abbey, at Iladdington, in the house where the late murders were committed, took place on Wednesday; some hundreds of people were there in the course of the day. So anxious were all to get some small article, that every thing sold very high ; a small hatchet, worth about 6d., brought 45., and every thing else in the same proportion.—Caledonian Mercury. M. CHABERT'S ANTlDOTE.—According to previous announcement, the Fire King yesterday again exhibited in public at No. 26, St. Jamas.street. His bills announced that he would himself take oxalic acid, orphos phorus, together with boiling oil, besides which he would entertain the company with numerous experiments, and conclude with exhibiting the antidote to prussic acid. At a quarter past three he commenced his operations, and after two or three experiments of but little interest, he brought forward a flick of sweet oil, of which he swallowed two table spoonfuls, at 340 degrees, with much sang frail!. He next devoured a quantity of phosphorus ; and on being asked by a gentleman present why he did not take the antidote, he replied that if he took it three hours af terwards, it would have the effect of counteracting the poison. Finally, a dog was subjected to the prussic acid ordeal, the antidote being as before dashed down his throat, after he had begun to stagger. Ile was only slightly af fected. The company expressed themselves well satisfied with the result of the exhibition. GEORGE NELSON (an old and faithful ser. vant of Lord SCARBOROUGH) is appointed principal jockey to the KING, in the room of JAmEs Roanisow. lie will be at the Newmarket Craven Meeting, to ride his MA - JEsTr ' s horses.

A short time ago a young woman, about seventeen years of zie, who resides at Shawelough, near Ruchtlale, got up in her sleep, dressed herself, kindled the fire, and then left her home and wandered about till she reached the top of Mount Pleasant, and continued her walk till she got upon a piece of ground where bricks were made during the lsst summer. The ground being soft, her feet stuck in the clay, and, during the struggle to re lease herself, she awoke, and, for a short time, could not imagine where she then was. After her recollection had returned, she hastened hack, fearing that she should be too late for her work at the futtory at Shawclough, which she did not reach till seven o'clock.—Manchester Courier. A gigantic enterprise has just been set on foot in Holland, which is no other than an attempt to drain the celsbrated lake at Haarlem. This vast piece of water, which covers a surface of 50.000 acres, was the effect of an inundation which happened about two centuries age. An association for emptying it has been formed, with a capital of six million florins,
