SPIRIT OF um PUBLIC JOURNALS, In the Committee on the Slavery Abolition, in the House of Lords last nicht, an allusion in the way of Illustration of a position by the Lord Chat— cellor, produced a sit-eider effect. A e amendment had been proposed by the Duke of Wellington, in crier, as he 'aid, to prevent the clau-e having a re trespective effect, providing V at the clause (the object of which was to counteract Loud Stowell's famous dec•sh n) sh old apply to such persons only as were in England or the free British dominions with the consent of their owners at the time of, or after the passing of the Act. This led the Lord Ceancellor to explain the necessity of the clause as it stood. In adverting to the decision of Loral steweli, the Noble and Learned Lord said," that it had gis en great dissatisfection nor only to the publie bus to the bar generally. That decision in the ease of a slave who had been in Eneland, and conse quently became free, condemned him to slavery again on le turning to Jamaica. " Such a matt (added the Nelde and Learned Lord), being e natural born subject of his Males y, would have as good a right to sir in the other House of Parham, it or in their Lordships' Hituse, as the If ustrious Duke opposite (Weillt gton) who was illustrious by its actions, or as the Illustrious Duke near him, who was silustrinu by the courtesy of that House " The illustrious Duke by courtesy, with en extiaordinary want of tact, started up and called the Lord Clara' cellor to order. "He had trot said °tie word to ca for stich art wrack." Attack ! The folly of the Illustrious Dike by courtesy was the more consp tenors, as the challenge necessatily implied the asser lien of the claim of being illustrious by more ilea come esy—by actions, as well as the Duke of Wel liegton. The two Dukes, to be sure, may be both famous; but every man that is famous, is not there fore illustrious. The distinction taker, between il lestrious by ections and illustrotts by courtesy, s tun g his Royal Highness to the quick ; fur, host-- ever civilly the distorction was nettle, it was not the less t:tipalarable oil that account. The Duke of Cumberland t;id not afterwards mend the matter, wl:eit he endeavoured to make it appear that oo Noble Lord was entitled to allude to any other No ire Lord. " He bed not (he said) alluded to the subject, and the Noble anti Learned Lord had no cwise whatever to address him." l'he Lord Ceencellor briskly retorted, " The Illustrious Duke was roost disorderly, in calling hint to order, on the score of having addressed the illustrious D ke. He had a right to address arty of theT Lordships. He had exercised the right of addressing the Members of the other Hansa' for twenty years, and he had now the right of addressing their Lordships, and, please God, he would continue to exercise that right." If there he any truth in the maxim of Rochefoucauld, that there is something in the distress of our best friends, which is not &spit asine to us, we may attribute the silence of the Duke of Wellington to en inward sa ti•faction, not less that the distinction was flittering to himself, than that it was any thing but flittering to his Rood friend the Duke of Cumberland. Lord Wynford, however, who lately felt so sore under the lash of the Lord Chancellor, that he was obliged to, call on the House for protection, thought he could not do less on this occasion than, in their common calamity, to stretch out a hand to the Illustrious Duke by courtesy. After several Peers had been addressing the House on the (pee:tine, the Noble and Learned Lord Wyriford said, " With reference to the observation of the Noble and Learned Lord (th e Lord Chancellor), he must express a doubt who: her the Noble and Learned Lord had a right to 'address any Noble Lord he pleased." But Lord Wytifted dal not receive much encouragement from the House. A great Roman Htsearian observed, that the absence of the statues of Bros us and Cassius from the place they ought to have filled only led the Romans to think more intensely of them. No abu'e of the Duke of Cumberland could have been half so anooying to him a, this quiet statement of the fact, 'Out he was illustrious by the courtesy of the House. In ties one simple phrase was revealed the nothutg ties, of the m,e, as cotrrwiteti i.ith him who was both a Noble of that House and a noble of nature, the rank in the last case being but the guinea's stamp, and the man being the gold. In a House of hereditary Legislators the illustration, we must own, was rather unsavoury. Nature is liberal, but nut lavish; and though the law may make the first-born of the aristocracy bottle, nature will often withhold her fiat; and a doubt expressed with regard to one illustrious personage by courtesy, must have led some of the Noble and Learned Lord's hearers to entertain unpleasant doubts with regard to their possessing the double qualification. But, as an ti : wage to truth, and a proof of the superiority 01 what is real in nature to what is fietitiou o the gra tification of oihers rises in the ratio of the slight means by which so profound a morification was caused. The Lord Chancellor followed up his illus tration by observing, " He Wes contending that the negro, if a free subject of his Majesty, had a right to sit in Perbament—as good a right to sit there as any one of the Noble Lords opposite—as good a right as any of the Right Rev. Bishops, or as the Illustrious Duke—or as the other Noll(' Duke, who was illustri. ous by his conduct—to sir in that House, if it pleased his `I jests to confer on him the honours of the peerage; and as much r:ght to sit in the other House as any nl3ll there, if any body of electors sent biro to Parliament." And then the Noble and Learned Lord referred to the intention professed by Lord Camelford, during the existence of Schedule A, to send his black servant as his nominee to Par liarneet. What would be the effect produced by the si , ..zht of a negro peer in their Lordships' House ? This is a contingency for which; we must be pre pared. It is possible that the genius of specultrinn may make some quashy a millionaire, and acres may raise h;m to the pi-erage. Its Brazil, Miele the Law !rakes all colours equal, there are bl.ick bishops and black judges, siVicg on the same bench with white and mulatto judges, and all proceeds with the utmost harmony. In the space of li ly years from hence, the negro curl may even be in }ugh fashion, and the Lord Ellenhoroughs of that day may seek to give them locks which nature gives to tho , e of the near° without the use of iron.-111 - orning Chronicle. It will be seen, from our !ern of the Ciry Elec tion, that the first day's p .11ing has gone decidedly in favour of Mr. Cr,wford, the reform candidate, who has outnumbered his opponent, Mr. Kemble, by 1;273 ..ores. We were nor, we will confess, ep t!ed for , o t iumphant a ei)mmene t , rnefit as this, th.,o we rhonght pr..bable 'hat in the long- run reform would earl the day. Those, however, who ritnich its due importance to the success of the liberal intere , t, on she' present occasion, will, no doubt, see the tieeesqiiy for Cont'nuit,-T their exer tions to the last moment. Many a good cau•e has been lust by mistaken confidence and injutteions relaxation. A good beginning said to be half the birly; but that is only on , he suppositio n t h at the battle shall be continued in tree same spirit in which it began. Let the reformer.: remember, therefore, that though they ha , e done much, there still remains much to do. It is evident that thy can succeed, but they have not yet succeeded. The present state of the poll, after so much delay on the part of the reformers, and so much promptitude and activity on that of the Conservatives, shows how pow erful the former are when once roused into action. The intelligent constituency of London understand their rights too well to be argued out of them, and they cannot he beaten. It is due to the Tories to say that they appear to be aware of the estimation in "%inch they are held, for they are not over anxiou s to boast, or even to acknowledge their tile. T oryism is to them what poetry was to poor Gol&mith— " Their shame in crowds, their solitary pride." We wish them all the enjoyment ut solitude, and hope they will never again sacrifice to ambition the tetirement so favourable to contemplative minds. It would be a disgrace to the citizens of London — of cour,e we mean a political disgrace, for Mr. Kemble is a highly respectable man—were they to return that gentleman into Parliament; The less connected any man is with party the better, but to allow the Tories or Conservatives to divide the re presentation of the City with the Liberals would be, not a compromise., but a contradiction of pur poses inteliectually and rm.ra'ly degrading to those Ito could be capable of giving it their sanction. We are glad to find that the citizens of London are in a fair way to assert their own c o,isistenry, and we exhort them to persevere.- , —.Maraing Herald. rns MAJESTY'S LEVEE.

The Loan CHIEF BARON gave judgment here this morning in the following cases FRESGFI ELD V. LEIGH. His LORDSHIP said this case came on upon a former occasion, and he was desirous that some of the items, amounting to a con , iderable sum, should be again spok , n to, as they were distinguishable from toe mass of accounts which had been previously considered. T king the whole case into consideration, and they must continue in some degree in tied with respect to these transactions unless Mr. Kaye could be examined, he was bound to say that, unless the onus f proof was upon Mr. Leigh, he had not socceeiled in establishing the fact that these sums were paid in respect of tie partnership business; but the proof and presumption were strongly the other way, and he was, therefore, compelled to say, with reference to these two items, the exceptions must be allowed. SMALL V. A TTWOOD. Mr. WAKEFIELD said a subpoena had been served upon Mr. Attwood requiring him to oay certain costs which had been paid by the other side to Mr. P. Tayl ,, r. He appre hended that it ought to be set aside for irregularity, and that no attachment could i•sue upon it, as the Court was not sitting when the subpoena was served; consequently Mr. A. could not resist the payment. On these groun s. he hoped it would be postponed until the first day of next Term. Mr. WIG RAM was instructed to move that an attachment slnaild Man, diately issue against Mr. Attwood for these casts, whieb amounted to about 800/. Lord LY NDHURST You cannot move for an attachment in the long vacation. I consider the Court ceased sitting on Saturday, find I merely came here for the purpose of giving some jukments. I said before I would sit beyond th- regular period for , he purpose of getting rid of t , e arrear of business, and to heir a certain number of causes, but that I would hear no motions, unless application Was made under speci ii circumstances ; and my reason foi making this rule was th it it would interrupt the bearing of cause. I therefore think, under these circumstancvs. that it would be but fair and reasonable to pospone the attachment till next Term. DAVENPORT V. RIDLEY AND OTHERS. His LORDSHIP gave judgment iri this ease, which was a bill filed by the Rector of Warfield, Salop, for an ac count of tithes of corn, hay, and wool arising from certain lands in the occupation of the defendants, forming part of i.e• forest or waste called Mode, which extend , d to the four parishes of Wakefield, St. Mary Mdgdalen, and two others adjidning. Atter going at great length through arguments on both sides, his Lordship was of opinion that under all circumstances, he must decree for the Rector for the tithes demanded, namely, corn, hay, and wool, and of course with costs'. THE NEW HUNGERFORD MARKET.—The arrangements at this improving market ate most excellently managed. MILEs, a police con-table of the A division, who formerly belonged to the Bow-street establishment, and who is acquainted with the persons of most of the thieves in the m -rropolis, has been appointed constable of the market, and has succeeded in clearing it of every pick pocket that has made his appearance. On last Friday and Saturday nights he turned out a number of thieves, who had made their appearance and got mixed with the various purchasers, before they bad time to commit depredations. Some of the gentry belonging to the swell mob were also ordered out of the m irket, and the punlic are completely protected from plunder by the activity displayed by those appointed to take care that no improper characters are permitted to loiter about the different shops and standings. It is worthy of remark that since the market was opened ',let a single robbery has been committed. CAUSE OF THE DRAMA. (Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.) The 11Iiiquis of CLANRICARDE considered the eloquent speech of the Bishop of London an excellent argument iu favour of the nramatic Bill. It was a speech showing, not the faults of the 13ill, hut the defects iif the citist;ng laws.—( Hear.) He ought, however, to state that the 13!shop of London, though he disapproved of parts of the Bill, did not vote against it. The Noble Marquis then argued, that the law, as it at present stood, conferred tin benefit upon any one, but was injurious in every way, and therefore could not be continued. He concluded by secotding the resolution, which was then unanimously carried. Mr. H. L. BULWER moved a resolution, deprecating monopolies, which were given to particular individuals at the expense of the great tindy of the people. The Rev. Dr. WADE seconded the resolution. He, like Mi. Bulwer, was surprised at the conduct of the Bish•tp of London, who certainly owed his elevation to his edition of the plays of /Eschylus. He hail bestd tha• the Bishop of London (we believe) once reproved a cler gyman for his attachment to fox-hunting; hut the cler gyman replied, that he saw no greater harm in his enjoying a manly .purr, than in his Grace sitting at the pianofort, si erre' hours a day, and amusing him's. If with trunk. Yet an order had lately been issued by the Right Reverend Prelate, prohibiting the performance of sacred music on Sund.iys. Toe Reverend Gentleman then said, that he must, as a clergyman, defend the character of actors. Yet the I,w called them vagabon , s and vagrants. What right had the law to give them this appellation ? It it were just, then were the Judges who went the circui s vagrants —(Lauy,hter, and cries of "Oh!")—and the ashops, when th y went their visit itions, were vagrants.—(R •- aewed laughter.) He would say, away with such alma - . dities. • Mr. E. MACARTHY moved the following Resolution : " That after suffering theatres professedly built for the en couragement of the British drama to be devoted to the most unworthy purposes, the proprietors have committed the last breach of the trust on which they claim to hold their monopoly by placing both the so-called national theatres in the hands of one individual, whose management on behalf of another lessee has been the principal means of alienating those stages from their proper use, and who has, by the act of the proprietors, become the sole legitimate arbiter of every thing connected with the histrionic at." Air L. RUDE said the provisions of the present dramatic laws were absurd, and inconsistent to the greatest degree. A man was liable to a 50/. penalty every time he played in any piece in an unlicensed th.atie. A man playing in three pieces would be liable to 150/. penslties_9ool. in one week. Again, the police might e:iter the thetere, anti take out all the performers, male and female. Think of being subjected to the tender mercies of the police, celebrated as they now were Mr humanity and forbear ance! It was nonsense to say these laws were not acted upon But th• re they were—there is the avala,che, and lie could not say that it would not roll upon them. No actor could recover his salary trout the proprietor of an unlicensed theatre, nor an author the value of a play, although in the first case the actor had no right to call upon the proprietor to show him that be lid a license, and in the latter case the author might have sold his piece without being aware to what purpose it was to be dedicated—whether to be played in a licensed or un licensed theatre. With regard to wh it the Bishop of London had said about the unfortunate young worn •n who had lost her character, was that a very extraordinary circumstance—w•-te characters lost in no other places but in they res? He shim rl like to ask the 11-verend Prelate whether many Noble Lords did not enter he House of Peers and lose their characters?— Lord Seagrave, too, who had called himself a Christi in at heart, hail opposed the Bill. Now every body knew that G lon I Bolt ley was u• der a very great o , digaiion to Allred Bunn. He could not, ind•ed, sleep at night with- ' out thinking of that "Wig ition.—(Laughtei.) But still it was too bad that Lord Seagrave should forget that he and another Noble Lord had acted in an unlicensed theatre (about eight years ago), and had caused others to do the s:une, and thus transgress the law. Pity it was that the House of Lords should have suvh an effect on the memory of some Peers. Mr. Rede concluded by seconding the re solutim , which was passed. An Individual th , n got upon a bench, and said he wished to say a few words. The mreting should recollect that !he Bishop of London was in a sitevation—(Great laughter)—which mode it incumbent on him to lock to the moths's of the people. Now much differtnce of opinion existed with regard to theeatres—(Law2ht;)— 4nd it was for the Giivernment to consider whether tl'ey should tolerate theeaticul--(A burst of laughter, and cries of " We won't tolerate you !" drowned the speaker's anti he was compelled to sit down. Mi. SERLE moved the fillowing iesolution " That this is a state of slavery for the professors of an art unparalleled in any age or country, and disgracefully incon sistent with the spirit of the 19th cehtury, and the freedom of the subjects of the United Kingdom." Tme ri-AutAin h iviug been seconded by Mr. THEL. WALL ; was agreed to. Air. Da VIDGE said he was now the oldest manager of minor theatres in the metropolis; and he well remem bered the execrable stuff performed at them in for mer years. Twenty-seven years ago he was at the Royal Circus, and the following formed part of the convers aion : " Well, Peg, Meg, Jack, how very much you grow ; Eh, Tom, these things are very strange, you know : " Well, dangit, never mind, so hob or nob, You know salt water makes but sorry grog : So in my love with you I'll dancing go; Bless your dear sparkling day-lights—folderiddlerido." Could they return to such p-r orinances as tvese, and at a time when other classes were progressing, ought the drama arid tie profession to retrograde ? Mr. Ddvidge having stated the way in which he was dealt with by the laree theatres when he was sued for pen and their un scrupulous pocketing of the whole penalties, 1001., moved a resolution to the effcct " That in order to protect the minor theatres from ruin, subscriptions be entered into to defray the expense of meeting any proceedings that may be brought against them." Mr. Davidge said that this was the cause of the public. The actors and prourietors of the miner theatres should stand firm, and the public would ultimately reap the be. mfit which would accrue from ihe improvement of the drama arid the eneourag , men , of the perf..rmers. Mr. Hawes had sub:crilu-d 5/. ; Mr. B,id6in, the barrister, Si. ; and Mr. E. L. Bulwrr 25 guitreas..--(Great cheering.) The resolution was then adapted. The f, diowinz petition was agreed to, with the under. standing that it sh• old he nteseored next se.:si a :"'" " To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Tem. poral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire. land, in Parli a ment assembled— " The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of London and Westminster, and the Vicinity thereof— " Humbly Showeth,--That it is contrary to the spirit and practice of the laws of Great Britain, that any person should be prevented from exercising the profession or calling by which he may gain an honourable livelihood. "That it is contrary to the spirit and practice of the same laws to make the irresponsible right of controlling any pro. fessicn or calling, and thereby determining on the livelihood of the professors as saleable property. " Ilat the dramatic art is now subjected in the metropolis of the empire to such saleable control vested in the hands of an individual unconnected with the art itself. " That by this monopoly two-thirds of the artists are precluded from the legal exercise of their art, the drama itself is dete- laureled, and the public are denied the advantages Of a Compe tition in prices and quality, and a rational entertainment at a reasonable distance from their respective habitations. " Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that your Lord ships wille be pleased so to amend the law in this particular, that authors and actors may no longer be subjected to the ab solute and irresponsible power of any one who may be able to purchase such power, and that the public may be enabled to enjoy such benefits from competition in the drama as are ad. mitted to be due to them in all other matters of use or enjoy ment." Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting @epara:ed. --.. SOUTH AMERICAN SLEEPING NUISANCE. —I extended a portable air rnat•ress or, the ground, and began carefully to examine the walls.

The MARRIAGE of SIR WALTER SCOTT (From Chambers's Edinburgh Journal.) When the late Marquis of Downshire, abort 50 years ago, was about to proceed upon his travels, he begged some letters of introduction, amongst others, from the Rev. Mr. Burd, Dean of Carlisle, who had been his early friend. 'I his gentleman tomniuni cated to his Lordship one letter, recommending bim to the favourable notice of almost his only conti nental acquaintance, Monsieur Charpentier, of Paris, an individual who held the lucrative office of pro vider of post-horses to the Royal Family of France. The unhappy result of this new association was the elopement of Madame Charpentier, a very beautiful woman, in company with his Lordship. The only step taken by the husband in this case was to trans mit his two children, a boy and girl, to his frail wife, with a desire, signified or implied, that she would undertake the duty of bringing them tip. The children accordingly lived some years with their mother, under the general protection of Lord Downshire, till at length the lady died, and the young nobleman found himself burdened with a re sponsibility which he probably had not calculated upon at the time of his quitting Paris. However, he placed the girl in a French convent for her edu cation, and soon after had the boy sent out on a lucrative appointment to India, his name having been preciously changed, on his naturalization as a British subject, to Carpenter. It was a stipulation before the young man received his appointment, that two hundred pounds of his annual salary should fall regularly every year to his sister, of whose support Lord Downshire was thus cleared, though he continued to consider himself as her guardian. Miss Carpenter in time returned to London, and was placed under the charge of a governess named Mi•s Nicholson, who, however, could not prevent her from forming an attachment to a youthful admirer, whose addresses were not agreeable to the Marquis. His Lordship, having learned that a change of scene was necessary, wrote hastily to Mr. Burd, requesting him to seek for a cotta g e in his own neighbourhood among the Corn belland lakes, fit for the reception of two young lades, who could spend two hundred a-year. Mr. Burd, having made the desired inquiries, wrote to inform his Lordship that there was such a place near his own house, but that it would require a certain time to put it into repair. He heard no more of the matter, till, a few dabs after, as he and Mrs. Burd were on the point of set ring out for Gilsland Wells, on account of tl.e delicate health of the latter individual, they were surprised by the arrival of two young ladies at their door in a post chaise, being the persons alluded to by the Marquis. His Lordship had found it convenient to send them off to the care of Mr. Burd, even at the hazard of the house not being ready for their reception. This was at the end of the month of August, or beginning of Sep tember, 1797. The dilemma occasioned by the unexpected arrival of the young ladies was of a very distressing kind, and Mrs. Burd was afraid that It would, for one thing, put a stop to her intended expedition to Gilsland. Her husband, however, &ally eetermitied that their journey thither should still hold good, and that, to place her guests above inconveni nee, they should join the parry proceeding to the Spa. Having duly at rived at Gilslami, which is situated near the borders of Scotland, they took up their re sidence at the inn, where, according to the custom of such places, they were placed, as the latest guests, at the bottom of the table. It chanced that a young aicotch gentleman had arrived the same afternoon, though only as a passing traveller, and he, being also placed at the bottom of the table came into close cootact with the parry of Mr. Burd. Enough of conversation took place during dinner to let the latter individuals understand that the gentleman was a Scotchman, and this was in itself the cause of the acquaoltanice being pro 'rant d. Mr-. Burd was intimate with a Scotch military gentleman, a Major Ridddl, whose regi, meat was therm in .3cothmnd ; and as there had been a collision between the military and the people at Tranent, on account of the Militia Act [the Tranent riots took place August 28, 1797], she was anxious to know if her friend had been among those present, or if he had licensed hurt. After dinner, therefore, as they were rising from table, Mrs. Burd requested her husband to ask the Sco cli gentleman if he knew anything of the late riots, and par iculatly if a Mjor Riddell had been cor.cerned in the supi easing them. To these questions, it W 33 found that the stranger knew Major Riddell intimately, and he was able to assure them, in very courteous terms, that his friend was quite well. From a desire to prolong the conversation on this point, the Burds invited their informant to drink tea with them in their own room, to which he very readily consented, notaithstanding that he had previously ordered his horse to be brousht to the door in order to proceed upon his journey. At tea, their common acquaintance with Major Riddell furnished much pleasant conver sation, and the parties became so agreeable to each other, that in a sub-event walk to the Wells, the stranger still accompanied Mr. Burd's par y. He had now ordered his horse back to the stable, and talked no more of continuing his journey. It may be early imagined that a desire of discussing the ie was not 110 IV the sole bond of union betwee the parties. Mr. Scott—fur so he gave his name— had breo impres.ed, during the earlier part of the evening, with th e e l egant and fascinaringappearance of M Sc Carpenter, and it was on her account that he was lingering at Gdsland. Of this young lady, tt as ill be observed, he could have previously knovtn : she was hardly known even to the re speetible persons under whose protection she ap peared to be living. She was simply a lovely woman, and a young poet was struck with her charms. Next day Mr. Scott was still found at the Wells —and the next—and the next—in short, every day fur a fortnight. He was as much in the company of Mr. Burd and his family as the equivocal founda tion of their acquairrance would allow; and by affecting an intention of speedily visiting the lake,, he even contrived to obtain an invitation to the dean" country house in that part of England. In the course of this fortnight, the impression made upon his heat by the young Frenchwoman was gradually deepened - ; and it is not improbable, no-- ,ithstanding the girlish love affair in which Miss Carpenter had been rect.ntly engaged, that the effect was already in some degree reciprocal. He only tore himself away in consequence of a call to attend recta n imperative matters of business at Edinburgh. It was not long ere he made his appearance at Mr. Burd's house, where, though the dean had only contemplated a passing visit, as from a tourist, he contrived to enjoy another twilight of Miss Car penter's society. In order to gi, , e a plausible ap pearance to his intercourse with the young lady, he was perpetually talking to her in French, for the ostensible purpose of perfecting his pronunciation of that language under the instructions of one to whom it was vernacular. Though delighted with the lively conversation of the young Scotchman, Mr. and Mrs. Burd could not now help feeling un easy about his proceedings, being apprehensive as to the construction which Lord D dh.e o y w mk ns ni h es i st r v e Ns oo e p rit t: os t upon them, as well as upon o t f he a ir own stil conduct lmorepaitifi i i r l i athdemiattoicinoguaioptaetricsoon of f f w hi h s om war t kseiinidti,rnaesi,ltisnd'eveedr,e'hiefrproessapiobiliesibility was more onerous and delicate. In this di:emma, it was resolved by Mrs. Burd to mite to a friend in Edinburgh, in order to learn something of the character and status of their guest. The answer returned was to n to the ot effect, that M r. Scott was a res pectable youhotaifgd b n iheiaen:: and rising at t he bar. It ch anced at the same t i me he t h a t one of Scott's female fri en d s , who did hearingo eve h owever, of entertai nsome l ov e this adv e tit ure respectful in h t i l e o h t ion entangled at Gdsland, wrote to this very Mrs. !turd wish whom ho s m uc s l h t e a was thig n":lll"faldint'eldWhitalr k in d inqu iring g o i f a it she hail heard g lady was it who was going to tak e Natty Scyootiul?'" The poet soon after found means to conciliate , Lord Do wnshire to his views in reference to Miss Carpenter, and the marriage took place at Carlisle ithin four months of the first acquaintance of the parties. • The match, made up under such extraordinary circumstances, was a happy one ; a kind and gentle nature resided in the bosoms of both parties, anti they lived accordingly in the utmost peace and amity. The bounteous but unostentatious benefi cence of Lady Scott will long be remembered in the rural circle where she presided; and though her foreign education gave a tinge of oddity to her man ners, she formed an excellent mistress to the house hold of her illustrious husband, and an equally ex cellent mother to his children. One of the last acts of Sir Walter Scott, before the illness which carried her to the tomb, was to discharge an attached and valued servant who had forgot himself one day so far as to speak disrespectfully to his mistress. He lamented the necessity of parting with such a servant, and one who had been so long with him; but he could not overlook an insult to one whom he held so dear. THE ARMY.

There is no truth in the statement of an asseinoly of troops at Cork tor embarkation to Portugal. The 70th and 92,1 R •gitnents are prepring, in their common r u ine of duty, fig.

The 10 h Hussars return to Dublin next week ; two squadrons will atop at Pm tobello, and the other squadron in the Royal 134 r acks. It is expected that the trial of Messrs. Losh and Wil. hams, of the 23d depot, will take place in Dublin, as the scattered state of the troops renders it inconvenient to assemble the necessary number of officers at the country station% The Ist battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards, froth London, will reach Dublin about Friday week. The 70th Regiment is iu daily expectation of the route, having received letters of readmess from Waterford. The 64th, from the Irish establistment, is the next regiment intended for foreign service.

US u nd a y R m 0 01 :. i A n B g t t he dead troy tvas found in a ditch near to Etruria, with a cord tied tight r , ,un,l his neck, with which it appeared he had been cruelly put to death. The body was discovered by a man from SHELTON, named DAVIS. It was soon identified as that of JoHN litmncitorT, a lad between nine and ten years of age, who had been in the employ of Mr. HAWLEY, of Ilurslem, at which place he resided with his parents. On inquiry it a p p eared he left work on Saturday evtning about six o'clock, and was not seen by his friends from that time until after his decease. There is every reason to suppose twat the poor fellow's life has been sacrificed for the trivial sum of Is. 6d., the amount paid to him as wages before he left the works, for on discovery of the body no money was found about it, and it is difficult to conceive any other cause than to gain possession of that trifling booty that could have led to the commi , sion of the barbarous deed.

It was the usual practice of the mill whilst he worked th,re to run those long hours. On his cross examination, witness said that he and THOMAS FIELDEN went with EDWARD KITTS to lay the information.
