THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAI EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1845. ASSIZE INTELLIGEN CE every fast w ere to he taken as proved, because a wit ness had sworn to it, the most innocent might be cenvicte 1 of off , riees ; and their experience taught them that the moat painful charges were often made against innocent parties without the slightest foundation, and their only protection was to be found in the discrimination of the jury, who took care to examine into all the motives of the parties, and weighing the evidence carefully and considerately, return their verdict accordingly. Should the jury find a verdict of guilty on so awful a charge as this, on a case of mere suspi cion, and without any positive evidence on which they could rely ? This was the question they had to answer, and he had very little fear for the result. The Learned Counsel then proceeded at some length to animadvert on the evidence of the witnesses, which he contended was wholly unworthy of credit, and on which he maintained it was wholy impossible they could find a verdict of guilty. He would ask the jury, as men of commmon sense, whether it was probable that the defendant could have been guilty of the crime laid to his charge ? He begged the jury to consider most attentively the letters of the defendant's daughter; they were most important. Was it, he would ask the jury, possible that a young lady could write such letters, knowing, as she must have done, that she had been all the while carrying on an incestuous intercourse with her own father? The Learned Counsel concluded a powerful and impressive address by calling on the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. The CHIEF JUSTICE then proceeded to sum up the case. After descriLing the nature of the case, he said that any re compense that could be giv, n to a husband who had been de prived of the affections of his wife must of necessity be very poor reparation for the injury sustained. It was, however, the only reparation acknowledged by the law, and juries, in estimating damages in such cases, must always be guided by the peculiar circumstances of each case. This was not the ordinary case of the offence being committed by a stranger. It was a father charged with the offence upon his own child, and this certainly rendered the crime one of a tar more hateful nature. Although human nature re belled against such an act, that ought not to excite a prejudice against the party accused, but on the contrary, ought rather to excite a doubt of the possibility of its having been committed. The Learned Judge then proceeded to comment upon the evidence, and be remarked that on the part of the plaintif it was alleged that the charge had been distinctly made :Art by the evidence, while, on the ether hand, there could be no doubt that the defendant alleged the whole to be a conspiracy for the purpose of forwarding the views of the plaintiff. The jury would judge between the parties. It was for them to decide the question. His Lordship then, after referring to the state ments made by the servants, said it was certainly most extra ordinary that they should have continued to remain in the house when they represented themselves to be satisfied a most abominable intercourse was being carried on between a father and his daughter. This remark especially applied to the witness who said that she was aware that the intercourse was going on before the marriage took place, and that she assisted in carrying out the clandestine marriage. The jury then retired for about forty minutes, when they returned their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 3,000/. The following are copies of the letters alluded to by the Learned Counsel. The first is a letter from the defendant to his daughter : NORTrIERN CIIWUIT.—Live pool, Arco 15. Ciit) ;OUR, f,.r vir Do' r;, 1 Lointis Whittle was indicted for a h ghway robbery at Ince, in Alackerfield, on the 18th of April last. Mr. Cross conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Wilkins. The prosecutor was a person of the name of Oakes, who is parish clerk at the church of Hindley, and who stated on the day in question he had b. en at Wigan market, and on starting to go home he missed his way at a place called the Scholes. He met the prisoner, and asked him his way. The prisoner directed him to it, and accompanied him to a public-house kept by a per :4°n of the name of Greeawood, where they had some ale, and the prosecutor produced a soverel4n. They left the Lous4 together, and, as the prosec .t ,, r alleged, after they had got a few yards from the door, the prisoner knoeked him down, robbed him, and ran away. The prosecutor did not immediately go back to Greenwood's, but went on his way home. The next morning he came again to Wigan, gave information to the police, and as eer[a:mrd at Greenwood's who the person was who had been his co,unany the night before. On cros,--exami nati,m he nd nitted he had had a good d-al to d; iii!t, but coo.iderable difficulty wts experienced in fixing the ptwise stage amo••g the many degrees of intoxication at which he had arrived. He at last admitted that he was " market murry." - - - Mr. WILKINs addressed the jury for the defence, con rending that the whole history of the cass3 was, that the prosecutor, though he as parish clerk was naturally unwilling to admit it, had got drunk, ai,d had probably been robbed by s.inie one ; and on ascertaining who had been with him the night before at the public-house had fixe,l on that party, not really having any very distinct recollection of when or where he had been lightened of his property. Verdict, Not Guilty. flialt2r. was charged with killing and zlnyirg John Tatee, at Walton-on-the-Hill, ou the sth of the pre: ent month. Mr. Hulton prosecuted, and Mr. Wilkins appeared for the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of a woman named laty Itugerson, that on the night of the sth of August she and the deceased left Walton for Liverpool, about 9 o'clock. They were on their way home ab ut 11 o'clock, and as they pas:,ed along Mere-lane they met a hackney • coach, when the deceased called out to the coachman, and some angry words pissed. The coachman then got down from the coach and beat the deceased, who at length called out that he had been struck by something harder thin his fists. She then wnt to the man, got hold of him by the ear, and requested he would desist, on which he left the de.ceased, got on his eoaeh, and drove off. Toe witnus: said she believ , d the prisoner to be the man who had 13,etten the deceased, but on being asked to point out the prison, was a long time before she fixed on the right party. After the coach drove off the witness went far assistance and the deceased was found lying in the lane quite dead. Mr. N. S. Glazehrook, surgeon, deposed to making a post moilem examination of the body of the dec , ased ; that he found a tracture of the skull above the left eye, and the deceased h died from effusic.n of blood on the brain. "20th October, 1142! " My dearest Mary—Oh, how terrific is that storm which has arisen against your unhappy father. Where will these things end ? My health is marvellously good, but my peace of mind is like the steam from the vessel—gone for ever. Pray write one line to say you are well. Alas I you cannot say you are happy. We fall together Give it to our friend Hutchings, who will send it to Nesbitt, who will soon know where to address THE WRETCH." The second is from the plaintiff to his wife : " Clifford-street, Sunday Night, Nov. 27. " I fear you have wrongly estimated the motives that have induced me to seek an interview with you. So honest has been my intention, so true the conviction on my mind that I was doing right, I now doubt my own senses, and think I am incapable of judging for myself.] I will now recal all that has happened since this unfortunate night five weeks, and without mentioning every day, I will allude to one or two on which events have happened that have weighed greatly on my mind. That I was unkind, nay cruel, in leaving you, is most true. 1 acted unjustly up to the day I sent Mrs. Parsons to you. The message she brought to you was sent with the most sincere hepe of the first step to a reconciliation. Your acknowledgment was dictated in cold politeness, together with a promise that you would writs to me on the morrow. Alas, the morrow ! but no reply. 'Twits looked for, bait in vain; the reason was, I take it, your fdther would not let you write. From that day I have not heard from you. You leave London, return to town, go to By field, and again return to London, but not a syllable is breathed to me. Think you, then, all this time that you are forgotten, that in seven weeks I have ceased to love, and buried in oblivion the sole object and adoration of my thoughts for months past? You little know me. What hap pens in the meantime? On Saturday, before I called on you in Welbeck-street, and afterwards at Mivart's, the agent of Mr. John Attwood calls, relates net only what has passed between us, but is absolutely in posses-ion of every movement of yours; nay, more, the contents of your very letters, from the Monday on which you promised to write to me up to the time of his calling, and quietly winds up his story by making the disgusting proposition of Mr. Attwood (through the influ ence of Mr. Wetherell), lending himself to obtain a divorce, and an Act of Parliament, to enable me to marry again, pro vided I would commit adultery I The man will prove my answer. God knows my suffering; and, as if the draught was not yet bitter enough, an intimation was thrown out, in an indirect manner, that you were privy to the proposition. 1 know no more. I waited anxiously for your coming to town, and on Monday night I called twice in Welbuck-street, to communicate this heart-breaking intelligence, and had it been your wish, rather than you should be miserable for having married me, I would have sacrificed my character as a man, and my honour as a gentleman, mid allowed myself to be adjudged a convicted villain by the highest court of adjudication in the world. Friday you were not at Wel beek-street ; on the Tuesday I called at Mivari's : you know the result. On the Wednesday (informed I am) you are mak ing arrangements to go abroad with your father, and that he has extracted a solemn oath from you that you will never live with me. Is this so? Well, the consequence has been I have been up night and day seeking for you. What greater proof of affection can be shown than I -acrifice everything? I risk all rather than lose you. Ant Ito be blamed for using every pos sible means of recovering the dearest object of my life? Re flect for one little moment, and see whether the means that have been used to prevent my seeing you have not justly added to my suspicions. If the severest feelings could recom pense you for past impetuosities, if the sufferings of my bleeding heart could be imagined, some slight reciprocity would, I think, be evinced to console my distracted mind. I have to-day for the first time been told of many improvident things that have happened through the inadvertency of thoughtless distraction. I have been too careless. I have no one to make an excuse, no friend to ex tenuate my conduct. There is only one thing I shall reproach you for, and that was your coldness, and which you have con tinued to carry out to a heart-breaking extreme. It would be fully for me to advise others, when seemingly Ido not act ju diciously myself. The time may come when your father may not so contemptuously disregard my advice. The settlement will be got ready as soon as possible. The only thing we shall have to wait for now will be your trustee. Pray send word who this is to be. The lady with whom I had some conversa tion this afternoon promised to semi this to you ; or, I should rather say, give it to you, fur I am sure you were in the house. I have been so deceived of late I almost doubted to trust her ; but many things she said led sae to believe she was a kind. good woman. She, like you, seemed most suspicious of my character. I trust you will re main with her, for it gives me the greatest pain to mention that I have heard you have been obliged to put up with the worst of lodgings during the last week. Rest assured on my word you shall not be intruded en in any way. I would fain say the same to your fathet. I trust you will write to me. I send you your brooch, which 1 forgot to-t'ay. I trust to God you will yet be happy, and have the greatest reason to: believe the sincere and heartfelt expressions of affection of your most sin. core, devoted, and affectionate husband. I have received a note from you to-day. Do no: pi, sist in saying you do not wi-h to communicate before the settlement. A few kind expressions from you may give slumbers to a ale, pleas The following is the answer.— It was proved that the prisoner had on the night in question driven a Nfr. Allanson to his ho:.se, in Walton lane., that he reached his stables about half past eleven o'clock, and stated that he had been insulted by a person on the road, whom he had struck with his whip. The jury, after being out of Court two hours, pro nounced the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on the ground of the provocation he had received. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to be im wiioncdann kept to hard :ab-we for the ,p we of our ea months. _ James Fletcher, NO- o had been nut en bail, was charged with havin,.: maliciously cut and injured a warp belong ing to lr s employ , n, Messrs. John Walker and Co., , f Leigh. with intent to (I,stroy it. Air. Monk conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was delei:deO by Mr. Joseph Pollock. It appeared from the evidence that the rrisoner was in the habit of weaving for Messrs. Walker. but about the 16th of January last had a dispute m i• h his employ ers re,pecting wages ; that on that day he had a warp shute to weave for the prosecutors, and had cut the warp with a pair of scissors. A person narird Haughton swore to s, eing the pri soner do this, and a. nuinlY , r other wit: ;es-es c c, called to dep , ,w t to r facts, and to ti.e prisoner having returned the warp with part of it cut. Mr. PoLtocK took an objection to the indictment, on ilia ground that it was not supported by the evidence, as, unless the warp was entirely rendered useless, any injury dune to it was not within the meaning of the statute. . His LORDSHIP, however, ruled that it was a question for the consideration of the jury as to whether the injury done to the warp was dune with the intention of destroy ahg it. Mr. PonLocK addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, and called witnesses, who contradicted, in the most direct manner, the evidence for the prosecution, one of whom stated that the injury done to the warp had been dole oy accident. The jary eventually acquit , ed the prisoner. August 16. Geo , ge Gaskell was inoicied for hevine, at Little Lever, stabb , d, cut, and wounded John Ne.ls.na, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Nr. POLLOCK conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Wilkins clef Wed the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor were miners, and soele quarrel having taken place between them—on what ground did not exactly- appear—they finally came to blows. The prosecutor, who evidently seemed anxious to screen the prisoner, stated that he (the prosecutor) kicked at him several times; that the prisoner took out his knife to defend himself ; that be (the pro secntor) rushed on him, and that the knife wounded him (the prosecutor) in the groin, but he believed acci dentally. Another witness said that, on the quarrel eominencing, the prosecutor rushed past him up to where the prisoner was standing, but he could not tell whether or not any blows were then struck. He saw the pri saner take out his knife and hold it up before him, as a dlgger. The prosecutor said, using scene coarse expres-ion, "Do you mean to use that at me ?" The ?ras.hna - replied, " If you wish to punch out my guts I will." The prosecutor then dal:ced back wards and forwards before the prisoner, some times on one side and sometimes on the other, e e&avouring to get an opportunity to kick him, and finally purred (kicked) him on the right side. Wit ness called out, " Oh, boys, do drop it." The pros< en ,cutor, as the witness said, looked so " rash," he would glisten to no rraison, and ran in at the prisoner again. The prisoner stood his ground, and the iTo-ecittor mode another punch at 1r rn, " quite ravenous," with both hands and feet. Whee that scan. , was over, witia , ss ;Len saw that pros-cuter had a cut io his tnais:n 3. The prisoner, on hei.ig told that prosecutor was a minded, cried very n w:- , said to witness, " Oh dear me, big m e off. I'll pay all c ;st,,, and whatever it is, if life is spared." ;Shortly after this occurred the prisoner went to the lions- of a person who lived near, and said he had struck `Nes• n. lie then sent a let to throw his kinte down tin Feoku the statement of the turger.n it appeared that the :mite had wounded :he pr, securor in the groin, pe netra,-ng the cavity of the abdomen. The wind was in, a dangerous place, but tt,e r,sult proved not to be ,serlou7,. " 28th November, 1842. " My dearest Husband—Would that you had ever acted as your two last letters promise; but it is too late for letters or words; actions, complttely altered actions, alone will convince your much afflicted wife. The letter 1 promised to send to you was Mr. Corfield's suggestion, and I could nt,t send it because he did net come to me. Had his conduct nut been so deceitful I should not now tell yen that the cold letters you complain of were dictated by him. When I found you were going into Chancery I could not write. My father did not prevent my replying, only your own conduct. Had my letters been answered in affection such as is due. to a wife, you should have had plenty. Who Mr. John Attwood's agent is 1 know not, and very much doubt if Icy father does. At any rate I shall communicate with my father on this shocking subject. Be as sured it is the most earnest wish of my poor father and myself th.lt you should so alter your conduct that I could in safety allow you to r.iurn to me. Oh, John, did you know who are sour friends, I might have some hope that my life is nut to be spent in widowhood. 1 know it is possible that you may change, but my hopes have been so often blighted. Be assured that if you after I shall not go abroad. It is quite false that I have taken steps towards it. Nor do I intend to refrain from see ing you when I see yen altered. You have it in your power, my dear husband, to make matters peaceable. Do so, pray do. This will be a certain proof of your sincerity and real regard for me. You promise not to ask to see me against my will. When I wish it you shall know by letter or my coming to you. All little inadverteucies shall be forgotten. I know my own conduct is not blameless in these trifles. You have heard falsely that I have had nn comfortable lodgings this last week. My mind has been the greatest sufferer. Do not mistake my motive in writing to you; it is to assure you that it is not too late to regain my confidence, but that I am determined to have my judgment convinced that you are really intending to alter, both towards me and my father, and that you have now begun. Then happy days may await us all, instead of this heart-breaking work. The hor rible tale 'nu state is a perfect mystery to me, and I must wait to hear from my father. but do not be distracted by it. Let me hear from von as soon as possible that you are satisfied with what i say, and that you do not doubt the affection of your poor wife. I mean to relieve, though not to release from blame, your aching heart, Any letters sent to Avenue-road will reach me. I wish my dear husband would pray God night and morning to direct him. To God I ever commit yon, and that he may bless and change your heart is almost the unceasing prayer of your devotedly attached wife, Mr. WILICIN3 addressed the jury fur the defence, con ti•nd,7o,,r that the w,und had been inflicted. as the prose. cutor himself said, accid,ntally, the knife having be,-n drAwn by the prisoner merely for the purpose of daerring th , • prostentor from the further continuing the brutal violence which he, a much more powerful man than the pris.mer, was thing towards him Verdict —X , t Guilty Ross oi‘Crieker aged 13 ; Valentine Dunn, a ,, e-1 10 ; ~Ltd iietay iny,o,.qt, aged 10, were indictvl for hone st,. 241 r. Jame; cc.ndtrted the case for the prosecution ; th p7i,oner M'CraAter was defended by Mr. Atkinson, and Ingram and Dunn by Mr. J. Pollock. The three lads presented a singu'ar appearance when placed at the bar as horse stealers ; Ingrain and Dunn eep,cially looked quite as young as their years, and their beads hardly reached above the edge of the dock. It appeared that the prisoners were resident in Sal ford. One John Preston, who also resicks there, had, in the early part of June last, received a black gelding from a person of the name of Woodcock, in exchange for a bay horse. This gelding, about the 14th of June, was sent to graze in a field in the neighbourhood, where it remained until the 17th. 'On the evening of that di), it was missed, and it appeared that in the course of that day the prisoners were in possession of it, and took it to the yard of a knacker called Padmore, where they offered it for 15i. 6d This was refused, and they subsequently sofa it to a person living close by for 12s. It was killed in th:. yard.

The prisoners had, how ever, up to that time, borne a good character, and no doAt were, in this transaction, the tools of persons older than themselves. A number of witnesses were called to character. Verdict--Guilty; to be imprisoned for three calendar months. ECOOKE.

It will give me great pleasure to find you putting into force any kind intentions towards your much-injured father-in-law. Let me intreat you, dear John, not to attempt this change of conduct without prayer and the reading of your Bible ; if you take it up, God will bless it to you. That He may give you His Holy Spirit to soften and cheek your turbulent spirit is still the affectionate prayer and wish of your sincerely attached but afflicted wife, " M. E. MYNDE COOKE. " 30th November, 1842." " My Dearest Husband has I fear misunderstood his wife's meaning in saying that kind expressions alone would not convince her that her husband was truly sorry. As far as kind expressions go I shall be the first to appreciate them, and wish most earnestly I had never had reason to ask for actions to ac company them ; no one in the world can have the same feelings for you that I have. When you act against my judgment I long to step in and prevent you. My greatest wish is to he proud of you as my dear and affectionate husband, and that you should be proud of me. This I have once been ; but alas! I cer tainly find it difficult to believe your altered expressions since last we saw each other are really now what may be depended upon. Still they are what, when I first took the name of wife, you acted upon to the utmost; and if I can be convinced of your sincerity, I shall be most happy again to be the beloved of my husband, and will, to convince you that I have really loved and felt for you as an affectionate wife, who is realty grieved and ashamed when her husband does wrong ; but if at this moment you think it would show deeper feelings for me to praise and pity you, and run into your arms, I must assure you this is blindin.ss and weakness; not affec tion, such as will bear to be tried. Such conduct may flatter for the moment, but it is not what will last ; affection founded upon judgment will last as long as life. You have, in our happy days, said you had married a woman of sense, and that you were proud of her. Then, dear John, do not blame her for acting up to her opinion. You never doubted my love till your conduct towards me altered. But I shall not say any thing more about what has passed, unless these hostilities are renewed. The letter or letters stated to have been written by me to some one abroad, or Mrs. Gilbert, or somebody, I beg to ',say have never existed. All I can say is, give me but the opportunity by your altered sentiments and actions to give vent to my affections. Pull the string judiciously and you will find it the strongest you ever tried yet. It is not the strongest looking rope that will bear the greatest strain ; it is quality, not size. There is a peculiar something in those terms, husband and wife, which none can feel but those who bear them. There is a sacredness about them. Turn which way you will they still ought to bind, if they do not. You will say I condemn myself in this. Well, then, rest assured all may yet be well, if all that ispossible be done to con vince me that 1 may safely trust and confide in you as my dear and really fond and affectionate husband. One method I would propose would be a correspondence ; but do not feel hurt if lam honest with you. My heart is fast sinking under all these heavy trials, and I may find it necessary to seek country air. I shall still be obliged to send my letters to Mrs. Kett. Should some delay occur, do not put it to the score of inatten tion. lam very glad you are convinced my dear father had nothing to do with the divorce matter. I hope that in time you will be convinced you have wrongly judged him in other matters. May God bless you, my dear husband, and enable you soon to believe me to be your devotedly attached wife, "December 5, 1842." " M. E. MYNDE COOKE. The next is a letter written by the defendant to the plaintiff after the Chancery suit had concluded : "By field Rectory, January 9, 1843. " Sir—As you have intimated to my daughter your wish to come to 13)field, and she has expressed to me her determina tion not to meet you for any purpose whatever, you place me in the painful position of being obliged to forbid you my house, whether my daughter be in it or net, and 1 hereby accordingly forbid you ray house—Your obedient servant, " CHARLES WETHERELL." The three following letters were also sent by the plaintiff's wife to her husband:— that this was not the first or second transaction in which the prisoner had been eegage.), prc'ter 1:1 150/. fur the restoration of a writing-desk, containing railway shares of considerable value, and which was stolen from the Great Western in May last. The Com pany were determined to punish the parties concerned in these robberies if possible. The prisoner had been convicted and sentenced to transportation in 1816, which term he served on board the hulks. He should also have to charge the prisoner with bigamy. Only tea days before he was apprehended on the present occasion be had married Miss Maxted, a young lady of respectable connexions, he having a wife now living whom he married in 1822. He held in his hand a letter which the prisoner had addressed to the young lady, whom he was afraid he should be obliged to call. It was dated the 12th of July. Amongst the papers found at his lodgings were a sort of rough draft of forms to be used in negotiating with parties, anticipations of suggestions that might be made on the other side, and the answers to be given; the mode in which the negotiations might be carried out, and the form in which certain matters might be broached. Mr. Humphreys objected to this course of general statemen t. _ _ Mr. Clarkson said some of the phrases had been actu ally wed in the letters and conversations upon the pre sent occasion. The letter from Sandhurst, dated July 24, already put in, began, "A stranger called at my office last week, and represented that he had found a travelling-desk, your property. He emphatically asserts that he did not obtain possession of it dishonestly, for in fact he never received it at all." The next paper was questions to be put at the next interview. "1. Whom have I the pleasure of addressing ?-2. If two parties come, say, Who is the principal ?'-3. If conversation is going on, put a stop to it by saying, I can only confine myself to the terms of the advertise ment. Does nut your advertisement rest confessed ? Show that you lean on it, for in truth you are a party to the compromise.'—lf they ask, "flow do you mix your self up in such a matter ?' say, You would never have obtained possession of the box without my agency, and is it not better, to receive it through the hands of a re spectable agent in preference to the stained and dirty channel of a practised— ?' " The next paper was as follows : " It appears, from your searching scrutiny, that I must give up a matter not enviable to hands more capa ble of conducting it than in) self. You must give up the letters, and with them a redemption from any proceed ings against the party or his agent. The conditions an nexed to your advertisement, offering —l. upon satisfac tory explanation of the circumstances, would deter any man, even if his character were as pure as the driven snow, from giving them up." Mr. Alderman HUGHES, looking at the paper of ques tions and answers, said it was certainly a curious catechism. Joseph Collard, the superintendent of the Great Wes tern Railway police, was then examined. After he had apprehended the prisoner he searched him and found some papers, which he produced. He also went to the prisoner's lodging in Charringtom-street, Somers-town, and found some other papers. Mr. Nash, clerk to Messrs. Swain and Co., solicitors, Frederick's-place, accompanied the officer in making the search, and upon putting together the pieces of torn papor he picked out of the grate, he obtained these documents. Mr. Gregory, of Dorset-street, Liverpool-road, was examined as to the contents of the papers in short hand. He himself used the same characters and the same mode of connecting them, but the hand-writing was bad. In his translation he left blanks where the characters were doubtful, suggesting the probable word from the con text. (Mr. Humphreys objected to the admission of any conjectural words) His examination occupied a con siderable time, as he had to distinguish what words were in long hand, what in short-hand, and what uncertain. Mr. Fraser, of Cannon-row, a short-hand writer, of 40 years' experieneo, said he hatl carefully examined the papers, and Iv.: confirmed Mr. Gregory's translation. Mr. Humphreys cross-examined the witnesses, to as c( vain with what degree of certainty they could rely on their translation. He said he could not oppose the application that the prisoner should be remanded over the present session at the Old Bailey, as there were some other charges to be preferred. Alderman Hughes Hughes said he could not think of admitting the prisoner to bail after the state nts he had heard, and with the concurrence of both sides, he remanded the prisoner till the 29th inst. " My dear husband—Your expressions of sorrow and affec tion do indeed make no small impression on your poor wife, and shall have due weight with her. I cannot help saying that you mistrust my affection for you, or why say again that any one has the power to influence me:in:nay conduct? 1 surely gave you proof en‘,ugh to the contrary of this when I ran away with you; and since last Sunday week I have written, and assured you I acted on my own judgment. When I mention the country 1 bird myself to no pal titular spot. I have invitations from friends. But aliaw me to say that when I went to By field it was after being told by you that the apartments were no longer at my ser vice. 1 was therefore at liberty to seek the protection of my natural guardian. I was told by Mrs. Kett that your objec tion to my going to Byfleld is, that when last I went my letters were altered. I will now tell you plainly what it was that altered my tone towards you. It was that, contrary to your solemn oath and promise to me that you would not, you put matters into Chancery. Long before you deserted me I told you if ever you went into Chancery I would never forgive you. I repeated it to Mr. Parsons on the Saturday ; and on the Monday you broke the solemn oath and promise you made to the wife you now implore not to leave town, when her health rectaires it, betause she may be further estranged from you. What can I do or say? I would yield ; but then, although you promise to give up all for me, your actions do not prove it. Look at the name of Wady still retained as trustee, not withstanding my wish it should be erased, and a disinterested party named. You have heard I intended nominating Cor field. But I beg to say it is quite untrue. I ask you not to put it to the score of inattention if, because I go into the country, my letters are delayed. You deny me this. That you are deeply distressed for your treatment to sae I feel thoroughly persuaded of ; your feelings are always in extremes, and I do sincerely pity and grieve over you, and will, as soon as I see I may with safety, try again to be your companion and friend jin that peculiar link of a wife to a hus band. The sentiments expressed in my letters do not say I dislike you so much that I will never see you again. Were we to meet now we could not avoid discussion. We should not agree. Well, then, is it not better that when we meet there should be no ground of dispute? Surely you must see I wish when we meet that nothing should prevent our being happy in the enjoyment of each other's society. In the meantime let us try and prepare to suit each other better than before. You say Ido not forgive you. Wait a little, and you will see that pride does not actuate me. I have told you that it is your broken word to me as your wife. It often takes a short time to do wrong ; but, however we struggle or complain, we cannot repair the evil so qUickly. I again repeat, convince my judg ment, and then I will see you. It is quite as painful for me to be obliged to say so as it is for you to wait patiently and per form it. If you send me any money I will put it to no im proper use. It must strike you I want money for many other purposes than that of going out of town. You ask me to be honest with you. Well, then, let me tell you, that did you mistrust your own power more, I should have more hope of yen. You feel assured you could please me. But I shall not scruple to tell you that a very great change must take place first. We are never acting with so much propriety as when we doubt ourselves. May God influence and direct you, and keep you from running into these extremes, is the earnest prayer of your affectionate wife, "10th of December, 1842." " M. E. M. COOKE. " My dear Husband—Your intended trip to Brighton will, I hope, be the means of diverting your mind from the dis tracting scenes which have lately occurred. It would give me great pleasure if I could feel secure in either remaining in one spot, or letting you know where I am ; but ever since last Sunday fortnight my nerves have been much shook; so much so, as that I dare not let you know my residence. lam so alarmed from day to day, and from moment to moment, that I know not where to fly, and am continually contriving fresh places of security. My expenses have been very heavy. I have been put to every possible inconvenience—my wardrobe scattered, my mind distracted, and my health sinking. It will, I fear, take ,ome time to allay any apprehensions. Through your clerk I have received 50/. He says you have a sprained wrist. 1 hope it is not seriously hurt. I wish you to understand that I did not know Mrs. Kett would suggest the propriety of send ing me some money. I knew nothing of it till after it was metAioned to you. Now, that you are away from those persons who have surrounded you for some time past, do try and calmly consider if you cannot escape from their influence. Do you not think that if you value your own future happiness you must oo so? Your moral courage is strong enough. Do try. I will promise you success if you do. Surely the one so involveci in the divorce matter cannot be your real friend. If you are really sorry for what has passed, and anxious to show such to bc the case, why retain another who has at least encouraged you to do that for which you are now so grieved? You do not know what bitter feelings are excited in my mind to see in your handwriting the greatest wish still to live in the heart of your wife, and yet that acts do not accompany it. If your heart i. so deeply wounded, do show it by actions. My greatest wish is that you would so convince me that I could accede to your ishes. May God enable you to convince your poor afflicted, but still affectionate wife, " M. E. M. COOKE. ATTEMPTED RUBBERY AND MURDER. On Saturday, a person who gave his name Edward Long, and who represented himself as the son of a laun dress in liayswat€ r, was examined before the sitting magistrates at Uxbridge, on a charge of attempted rob bery and murder. Mrs. Harris, who appeared to be still suffering severely from tha injuries the prisoner had inflicted on her, deposed, that on Friday the Bth instant, between eleven and twelve o'clock, she observed from an upper window a man, who afterwards proved to be the prisoner, in the back yard of the premises. He soemed to be begging, but she did not take much notice of him at the time. About ten minutes afterwards she went into the front parlour, when she was thunderstruck at seeing the same man standing in the room, into which he must have got through one of the windows. That man was the prisoner. She immediately demanded what he did there, when the prisoner passed her, and directly shut the room door, and told her that his object was plunder or even murder. Witness being dreadfully alarmed, begad screaming violently, upon which the pri soner instantly pulled out a large bludgeon and com menced beating her over the head, arms, and neck. Witness's screams brought one of her women servants into the room, and she had very little recollection of what afterwards took place. Maria Luckit deposed that she was servant to the last witness. On the forenoon in question, hearing her mis tress's screams, she ran into the front parlour. On en tering, she saw the prisoner standing by the centre table, with a large stick brandishing in his right hand over her mistress, who was lying on the floor between two chairs. Witness assisted Mrs. Harris upon her fret, who then jumped out of the window into the fore•oourt, although witness tried to prevent her. The screams of another female servant, who had run into the garden, where Mr. Harris and the man -servant were at work, brought them and some of the neighbours to their assistance, when Samuel Powell, a journeyman tailor, got into the window and seized the prisoner, who, seeing others coming in, said, " Don't hurt me, though lam a housebreaker. I will surrender myself." . Sergeant Richard Roadnight, T 11, deposed that on the day in question, in consequence of information he received, he went to Mr. Harris's house, and received the prisoner from Samuel Powell and others who had secured him. The prisoner was without his shoes, and as witness was taking him to the station-house at Hillingdon-end, he pulied the silver fork and the orna ment now produced out of his pocket, which witness took, and lie said, " There, that is enough fur you." The prisoner also said he was not sorry he was taken. He had wanted money, and finding the window open, he took off his shoes and got in. The stiok produced (a tremendous bludgeon) witness found in the parlour. It further appeared, from the admission of the prisoner himself, that he had gone out on the evening in question with the stick, with the full determination to rob some one or be transported for the att em pt. The prisoner, whose appearance is most ferocious, was committed to Newgate for trial. " Dec. 15, 1842." My dear Husband—l am glad the settlement and release have both been executed. I did, indeed, attach much import ance to this object, as it relieves me from the anguish of having rendered my lather liable to a suit in Chancery. It appears to me that my father having ast.ured you he would be liable fur my just debts, it would be more in accordance with your promises to me if you had given up the small freehold at Byfield.--Your affectionate wife, " M. E. MYNDE COOKE. " Jan. 3, 1843." The next is a letter from the plaintiff to his wife : "My dear Wife—l addressed a letter to you on the in stant, to request an interview, with the object of entering into certain explanations that I felt were necessary previous to a long-continued absence from each other, provided such expla nation rendered that separation necessary to our mutual com fort. I called in Eaton-place for the same purpose. In again addressing you believe me I am actuated by only one motive— the desire of forwarding the interests and happiness of yourself, your father, and myself. With regard to the past lam perfectly sensible of actions on my part which I would had never occurred, and whatever might have been the result of our inter view .had.you granted it, you at least would have been satisfied that time had 'worked no little change in my sentiments and opinions, and had produced reflections which tended to con vince me of the many errors into which 1 have fallen. You, too, would have been generous enough to believe how ill advised I have ever been, and in the midst of all would, I am sure, rather pity than upbraid, and, on hearing the treachery by which I am and have been surrounded, rather would you sympathise than continue longer to censure or condemn. I had wished, deeply wished, to have told you from my own lips that which I cannot here, when perhaps all would have still been well ; for I feel in our present position that no false pi ide with the woman 1 love, and you know sincerely love, and that woman my wife, ought to interfere to shadow with the clouds of misery a long vista of years. Thus I hope I have expressed myself suffi ciently clear to convince you that my desire we should meet was neither to perplex or to annoy, but calmly, after anxious hours of reflection, upon a couch of sickness, of regret for the past, and hope for the future, to convey to you personally the actual feelings which now possess me. I can only add, that if this open avowal and appeal to your feelings should prove as idle as my last, and should be again treated by you with silence, that I must, however irksome it be to reconcile, consider it your wish never to see me again ; but God grant for both our sakes, that your bosom will yield to nobler and better feelings, and that you will do longer hesitate to see me and hear aught I have to say. For your guidance I mention that after next week niv stay in town will be uncertain. God bless you. " Believe me, sincerely and affectionately, to be your fond and devoted husband, . "JOHN MYNDE COOKE." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Oa Saturdiy Charles Maynard, the estate-agent in Howland-stre.-t, who stands charged with negotiating to take a reward for restoration of some bdis of exchange, to the amount of 2,000 L, and the other contents of a writing case stolen from the Great Western Railway, was brought before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, fur further examination. Mr. Clarkson said he proposed to examine, on this occasion, Collard, the officer of the railway, to speck to the finding of certain papers, some of which were partly written in short-hand. He should cali pro fessional short-hand writers to show the content., , Of these memoranda, from which it would be seen that while they bore upon the present case, it ought be inferred the prisoner had taken up the business of negotiating the restoration of stolen goods. Justice demanded that he should apply fur a remand, inasmuch as there 'was reason to believe NEW RAILWAYS. BY PARLIAINI.L.:.T IN THE SESSION 10-.5. (From the Railway Chronicle of Saturday.) Length.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, AUG. 15.—Sales iu Foreign Wools have not been very extensive during the past week, the unsettled state of the weather imposing rather a check upon business operations generaly. Prices, however, are steady. Emma WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, AUG. 15.—Sales continue steady, and prices are firm. Clothing sorts, of middling qualities, remain very scarce, and are much inquired for. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, AUG. 15.—There is no variation in the wool market since our last report. As the unfavourable state of the weather of last week had rather the effect of damping the market, better hopes of the future have been infused by the favourable change that has since, taken place. LEEDS.—The markets at our Cloth Hells have been very dull this week, the principal cause of which ha been the very unsettled state of the weather, and the fears entertained in consequence for the harvest. Prices are firm, and the stocks on hand scarcely an average at this season of the year. Beavers, pilot cloths, fancy cloakings, and shawls, are the principal articles selling ; fine and middle qualities of cloth have been in very limited demand. Since Tuesday the weather has been much finer, an d more b uyers h a v e visited the town, b u t they m a k e t h e i r purchases w i t h th e grea t est caut i on . There has, however, been a little improvement in the demand f or fi n i s h e d goods, as compared with the amount of business done during the last few weeks. LEICESTER.—The same steady business which we have noticed for some time past continues doing in the warehouses. Worsted spinners are very busy. There is no alteraion in wools and clothing sorts, and noils are much in request. Great anxiety is fat about the harvest, as upon its being well gathered will depend the welfare of trade for the season.—Leicester Journal BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—Our market, the weather being tolerably fine, was well attended on Thursday, and a fair amount of business in piece goods, at former prices, was transacted. The wool trade is not very active, the manufacturers hanging off purchasing at the present rates. The yarn trade is brisker than it has eu fur some time past, but prices do not advance. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING .—We have had a mere 'hutted business doing in cloth this week, caused no doubt by the uncertainty of the weather, which has induced some few needy manufacturers to press sales, and no doubt to accept rather easier terms. The de cline, however, is not general, and it may be said, where it has taken place, is only a shade lower. Spinners con tinue to find brisk markets for yarns, and at very full prices. WAKSFIELD CORN MARKET, AUG. 15.—There is a fair supply of Wheat at market today, holders of which are firm iu demanding last we(•k's prices, but the busi ness done is not extensive. Beans are held for more money. In Oats and Shelling . no change. In the early part of the week heavy rains fell, brit it is now fine—the crops are much laid in this district. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 15.--Both refiners and grocers continue to take off everything diet is brought for. ward, an prices have still an upward tendency. The con sumption is goin g on very sat i s f actor ily, and the trade seem to have confidence that present rates will be at least supported.— Bristol Mero urm . kiROUSE SHOOTING.—The season for grouse shoot ing commenced on Tuesday. During the last few days several T ar ,es of distinguished noblemen and gentlemen have passed through this town on their way to the northern moors. The birds are said to be plentiful, and good sport is expected. The lion. H. T. Liddell, M.P. has gone to Raby Castle for a few days' shooting.— Tyne Mercury. EXHUMATION OF THE BODY OF LIEUT.•GENERAL GEORGE DICK. BATH, AUG 16 —Yesterday afternoon an inquiry commenced in this city before A. H. English, Esq., the Coroner, as to the death of Lieut.-General George Dick, whose demise, it will be remembered, took place as far back as the 15th of March, 1844. From what has trans pired during the last few days, a considerable sensation has been created amongst the fashionable circles o' Bath and Clifton. The deceased was a gentleman of large fortune, who formerly resided at Clifton, but towards the close of his life he went to reside at Bath, where he kept a large establishment, and moved in the highest circles of, society. The present inquiry was instituted, as will be seen from the introductory remarks of the Coroner, at the instance of his eldest son, George Dick, Et.q., who fills an office in her Majesty's civil service in the East Indies, and who has come from Mazoompore for the express purpose of causing it to be made. At the time of General Dick's death the only members of his family residing with him were his own daughter, a Mrs. Brigdall, whose husbaLd formerly lived in this city, but is now out of England, and her son (by a former mar riage), a Mr. Thomas. At the period that Mr. George I left England a will existed in his favour. An affectionate correspondence was kept up between himself and parent till the time of his death, after which a will was produced, leaving the General's property to the grandson, Mr. Thomas. The death of the General was rather sudden, and this fact, together with other circum stances, have tended to raise a suspicion of foul play. At three o'clock in the afternoon the coroner and jury assembled at the Cemetery at Bath wick, for the purpose of witnesing the exhumation of the remains of the gallant officer, and of proceeding with the inquiry. Mr. Ilerapath, the eminent analytical chemist, and Mr. George Barrette, surgeon, attended to make a post mortem examination. Mr. George and Mr. Dick (sons of the deceased) were likewise present, as were also Dr. Cardue, Dr. Daniel, and many other members of the medical profession and resident gentry of Bath, Clifton, and Bristol. The jury having been sworn atd taken their seats in the chapel of the cemetery, the coroner said they were assembled under circumstances of a distressing and ex traordinary character, to inquire as to the death of Gene ral George Dick. Although a very long time had elapsed since his demise, yet circumstances had come to his (the coroner's) knowledge which rendered it imperative in him, in the faithful discharge of his office, to cause the present inquiry. The death of General Dick took place in that city as far back as seventeen or eighteen months ago; circumstances accompanying it were such as ren dered it exceedingly desirable and proper that aninquest should have been held at the time, and had the par ties by whom the deceased had been surrounded acted with discretion and propriety an inquest undoubtedly would have been instituted. He (the coroner) was acting now at the earnest request of the General's eldest son, a gentleman of the highest character and r es p ecta bil ity, who was in India at the time of his father's death, and who had at great sacrifice of time, feeling,. and money. come to England to have the matter investigated. In ordering:the exhumation of the body he (the coroner) believed that he was acting in the strict discharge of his duty: Of course there were circumstances besides Mr. Dick's inlormation to justify the course he had . taken. From the period w hich had elapsed since the death;•the chances of discovering whether it had been caused by violence rested. on a poasibility. Still if it had been pro - - duced by some desenptien of poison traces might.yet be found, and. Mr. Herap a th, w h ose f ame as an analytiCal chemist must be well known to them all, was present to remove and examine the stomach and int*stines. Mr. Barrette, the deputy coroner for the coun'y, would make pOt ,rno tent examination of the body, arid it would be nrat,satisfactory,as well to Mr. Dick as to the parties in directly accused, should the body be finind in such :a state of prePervation as to enable them to arrive at the cause of death.. Mr. Dick had good -reason to be dissatis fied with the cond uc t o f th a t part o f t h e f amily which resided with his parent at the time of his death, and` to whom the prOpriety of bolding an inquest was made at that period. Mr. Thomas, however, inter fered, and said there was no necessity for it, and that the body of his grandfather could be buried without one. A certificate bad been given by two doctors that the deceased had died from apoplexy, but on those gen tlemen being summoned, they could give no reason for that opinion, except that the General died suddenly, and whilst with some of his family. Unless the cause of death could be ascertained, it would be useless entering into any inquiry touching the other circumstances, and therefore he (the Coroner) would have the examination made at once. It was possible the deceased might have died from the agency of some poison. If arsenic had been employed, they might detect its presence ; he be lieved, however, that when arsenic was used, the death was seldom so sudden as it had been in this case. The Coroner and jury then proceeded to the tomb, from which the coffin was taken, and opened in their presence. The remains having been identified, the inquiry was adjourned to afford time for the post inortem examination to be made. Tan STA rillOPB MARL—The Memoirs of Lady Hestor Stanhope continue to excite the most intense interest. "During Mr. Pitts lifetime (observes the Chronicle) she was Pattered and honoured by all the higher classes, and especially by the princes, princesses, and the Court circle, and she was pretty nearly worshipped by the place-hunters. Her influence with her uncle was great, and she used it generously. But while she thus, according to the proverb, made a number of ungrateful pernms, she, at the same time, made a multitude of enemies among people of rank and consequence by her own course of conduct, which was upon occasions supercilious and arrogant to a chigree. and by her unfortunate facility of saying sharp things wish the most stinging effect. She certainly pos sessed a rapid and deep insight into human character, and her remarks upon the distinguished persons with whom she was acquainted, as wrell as the many travellers who visited her at Joon, are always pointed and searching, if not always just. As it may easily be presumed, she idolized her uncle's memory ; yet it cannot be fairly said her praise of him was exaggerated. All the passages relating to him in her statements and reminis cences are of striking interest, and she has been able to do jus tice to him against common belief in many instances. She admired the lofty abilities of Fox, and entertained astrong per sonal regard for him. She liked Home Tooke and Sir Francis Burdett. Canning she hated as the most insincere, deceitful, and falsest of human kind ; but she admitted his powers. Castlereagh, Liverpool, Huskisson, and all Pitt's colleagues and followers, except Lord Melville, she despised and derided. The Prince of Wales she thought to be the falsest of the false, but expressed the warmest esteem for the Duke of York and his younger brothers. Her strictures upon the character and con duct of the Duchess of Devonshire, and other she-politicians and intreguantes of the d ay , are sp i teful in the extreme, but rresestahly amusing and forcible." .1 HE GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES.—There is no trath in the report of the death of Mr. Reed, the nominator of Miss Elia. THE HARVEST IN FRANCR.—The weather is be• ginning to inspire a pp re h ens i ons f or t h e sa f ety of t h e c r ops No very material damage has yet been occasioned by the in clemency of the season, except in localities which had been ravaged by storms; all will depend, however, on the turn the weather will take in the course of the next ten days. Should it set in fine, there is still every prospect of a good harvest ; but, if the rain continue, all hope will be at an end. Vegetation throughout France is late by at least three weeks; and towards the north the wheat is still green. August, this year, con.e quer.tly, represents the month of July of other years. The quantity of rain is inferior to that which fell in July of the cala mitous year 1816, when it rained during 26 days consecutively; nevertheless, should the quantity exceed nine centimetres be tween the 26th of July and the 16th of August next, the con sequences will be disastrous. It is calculated that every hour's rain entails a loss of 1,00.000 f. on the country. The rye, which presented a fine appearance, has been cut down nearly everywhere; but it is liable to become heated and rot, from the excessive electricity of the atmosphere. The humidity is par ticularly ominous in Belgium, whence orders to the extent of 500,0(X) hectolitres ' of wheat have been already sent to Eng land, Marseilles, and Dantsic. In the south of Russia a grea t drought prevails, and the crops are also seriously menaced. From the wine districts the accounts are still mere lamentable. NEWCASTLE COW HILL. OR I.AAIMAS FAIR.-- file Cow Hill or Lammas fair for horses and other cattle was held on Tuesday, on the Moor, and was numerously attended by sellers and buyers from various parts of the country. The stock shown were fully equal to rrevious occasions, both in kind awl quality, and a considerable amount of business was done. Cows, of which there was a good sh,,w, were in demand, and prime beasts brought 15/. to 161., second-rate 111. to 121.. and in ferior about 8/. Pigs of a superior kind sold bri , k.y, and good prices were obtained. The average, for pigs wei,:hing eleven btoues, was 31. lOs. to 41. ; for small pigs, 17s. to 18s. each ; and for bacon the average price may be stated at 7s tier stone. The show of horses was also large and sales brisk. As usual the best arrivals changed hands on the previous day (sionday ), at the market commonly held in .our e.reets. The prices were, first class, animals, 401. to 50/. ; second class, 201. to 30/. ; and third-class, of which few were sold, at a very low figure. There was also an average show of sheep and lambs which met with a ready sale at fairish prices. --Tyne Mercury., 2,817,311 Revenue. 5,002 81,840 5,000 15,577 42,980 62,030 33,793 28,138 25,198 8,357 30,349 226,027 45,257 11,705 33,917 4,271 13,824 35,745 2,973 59.352 73,863 17,124 15.659 14,136 8,626 12,394 16,982 9,417 27,193 73,079 10,205 116,117 69,384 27,976 14,997 .52,654 79,117 137,618 95,119 48,642 6,439 32,889 43,061 8,631 28,592 59,479 4,624 52,633 47,853 47,770 136,959 12,262 4.8,57 12,284 24,867 1,333 20,839 34,541 4,166 15,196 88,732 219,136 4,449 74,475 94,892 36,858 82,147 53,373 13,894 428,483 134,080 46,018 8,447 5,000 33,884 157,803 7,500 23,261 78,324 45,096 129,741 4,994 68,305 142,471 44,202 30,093 97,142 102,480 20,436 37,987 83,129 4,672,264 NT A • - Of , . young allti guide—tlit wauireiland sage, • • The lonels, and the mated—all sustain." 14y R.
