LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 19. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Jus• tice TINDAL and a Special Jury.) FRASER V. BAGLEY.—CRIM. CON. This was an action brought to recover compensation in ; the shape of damages for criininal conversation with the plaintiffs wife. The damages were laid at 3,0001. Mr. Thesiger and Mr. H. Lucas appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Kelly, Mr. M. Chambers, and Mr. Wordsworth, for • the defendant. Mr. THESIGER stated the case to the jury. The plaintiff, who was about 39 years of age, was a member of the Eng lish bar, to which he was called in 1838. The defendant was also a member of the same profession, and was a barrister on the Home Circuit. The plaintiff married, in 1831, the lady whose misconduct had given rise to the present investiga tion, she being at that time the widow of a Mr. Blair, whom she had married in India, and as his widow she en joyed a pension of 3001. a-year. She had also a fortune of about 6,000/. when the plaintiff married her. In October, 1837, the plaintiff and his wife and family went to live at Melbury-terrace, Dorset-square, and they continued - to re - side there till Michalmas, 1840, when they re moved to Melcombe-place. There they remained till the month of May or June, 1842, when that house was given up, and Mrs. Fraser went to reside at York-buildings. The plaintiff and the defendant were intimate acquaintances, and bcith had chambers at No, 11, King's Bench-walk. The de fendant was frequently invited to the plaintiff's house, and he availed himself of the opportunities which those invita tions afforded to seduce Mrs. Fraser's affections from her hus band. Unfortunately the plaintiff's home was not a happy one ; his wife's . temper was ungovernable ; and from that cause he was frequently absent. In 1842 the plaintiff, who had become a surety for some other persons ' fell into embar rassments, and applied to the defendant for his advice. The defendant recommended him to gO out of the country, and he determined to conceal himself, which he accordingly did. Before, however, the house in Melcombe-place was given up, the plaintiff gave the defendant a bill of sale, which was - to be used for the benefit of Mrs. Fraser and the children ; and Mrs. Fraser accordingly disposed of all her furniture in Mel combe-place, but kept her new residence in York-buildings a secret from her husband. Mr. Fraser, baffled in his inquiries after his wife, resolved to go to India; but the execution of that determination was delayed by his receiving an accidental communication which led to further inquiries, and to the com mencement of the present action. The Learned Counsel then entered into a statement of the facts which he was in a con dition to prove, upon which he relied to make out the plain tiff's case, and which will be found detailed in the examina tion of the following witnesses : Quintus Vivian—l am the brother of the plaintiff's wife. I was present at her marriage with the plaintiff. Ido not know the amount of her fortune. I should say it was about 10,0001. The plaintiff and his wife did not live on good terms. She was not beautiful. The plaintiff was a hand some man, and my sister was very proud of him and his appearance. Latterly she became jealous, and seemed very unhappy. Arnold—! was the defend an t' s l aun d ress f rom December, 1840, till the Saturday before Whit-Sunday, 1843. His chambers are at No. 11, King's Bench-walk, in the area. The plaintiff's chambers were on the ground floor in the same house. About a week after I went into the defendant's ser vice the defendant had a dinner party at his chambers. I cannot say whether the plaintiff was there. Mrs. Fraser was. I saw Mrs. Fraser there very often afterwards. She used to dine there. She first came with a double knock, but the boy used to laugh at her, and then she came with a single one. I have seen a cap, or apron, or a shawl left on the sofa when I came in the morning. There was a fire lighted in the bed-room during the first winter. When I have come in the morning I could hear people talking in the bedroom. I heard a cough in the bedroom. It was a phthisicky cough. Mrs. Fraser had a cough of that descrip tion. Mr. Bagley lost some spoons and forks about Whitsun tide, 1843, and discharged me for that. When I left Mr. Bagley I told him, if I had known he was going to serve me so, lie should not have had any spoons to lose. I meant by that that that I would have fetched Mr. Fraser downstairs while his wife was with Mr. Bagley. Mr. Fraser was upstairs several times while his wife was in Mr. Bagley's chambers. Mr. Fraser used Mr. Caarteen's room. Thomas Burt examined by Mr. THESIGER—I was formerly clerk to the defendant. I entered his service in 1841, and continued in it about nine months. I now attend to a business for my sister at Boulogne. She keeps the White Horse there. I have been brought over as a witness. Mrs. Arnold was the laundress at the defendant's chambers while I was there. Mr. Bagley and Mr. Fraser were such intimate friends that they were always together. Mrs. Fraser used to come to the defendant's chambers. The defendant generally opened the door himself when she came. Mrs. Fraser had a very peculiar cough. When I have come in the morning I have heard this cough in the bed-room. When I came and heard this cough of which I have spoken in the morning, I was generally sent out upon rat in the ha nd, and c wh mbe enl rs. re _turned there was nobody but som ethteridfleing errand, defendant IN RE SAMUEL WAITE. This insolvent was opposed on the ground that his present difficulties had been created by a reckless extravagance. The aggregate amount of his debts was 2,5551. 18s. 3d. The sum on the credit side of the account was 1,183/. His bona fide debts were 9801. He attributed his insolvency to his connection with a person named Michael Shillito, with whom he had had bill transactions, and whose name was in serted in the schedule, as a debtor for 1,060/. " bad." The insolvent had been a wine merchant, and his wife had an annuity of between 600/. and 700/. It was announced by the Learned Counsel for the insolvent (Mr. Cooke), that the wife would pay all the bona fide debts of the insolvent, and, in fact, had already discharged liabili ties of his to the large amount of 2,0001. The insolvent was therefore ordered to be discharged. IN ItE FRANCIS PAUSE. In this case the insolvent, a milkman, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the ground that he had assigned a milk-walk which he possessed to his mother, for an alleged debt, the existence of which was doubted by the creditors. On several occasions the case has been before the Court, and efforts made to come to an amicable . arrangement, but all in vain. To-day, the insolvent was remanded for eight calendar months, for making away with his property. CONVICTIONS IN FELONY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—Misunderstanding prevails in respect to the mod e i n which, upon trial of a prisoner for felony (wherehe has before been convicted of a larceny), in respect to the fact of his former conviction as to how and when it should be proved. I need not travel through Acts of Parliament applicable, but simply state the law as it stands on this point now. That portion of the indictment for a second felony, which sets forth a former conviction, is not to be brought before the petty jury until after a verdict of " Guilty," unless the pri soner, upon his defence, calls witnesses to character, in which case the prosecutor is then entitled to call the attention ofthe jurors to the former conviction. This is as the law now stands, and if not strictly adhered to, it is manifestly unjust towards a prisoner. —I am, Sir, obediently Yours, Feb. 20, 1844. IMPARTIAL JUSTICE.

WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert took their accustomed early walk this morning. The Royal Family have been taken their customary airings, in the Park to-day. - In the afternoon her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert took a carriage airing. ASINGLE BOTTLE of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY may now be obtained in a perfectly genuine state. This convenient arrangement for both vendor and purchaser, and their mutual security against deception, is effected by the use of BETTS'S PATENT METALIC CAPSULE, made of pure and Solid Metal (not Tin-foil) which completely encloses the cork and mouth of the bottle, and is embossed with the words " BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, 7, Smithfield-bars," the fac-simile of which is engraved on a label affixed to each bottle. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office. The Lord Chancellor arrived in town yes terday morning from Turville-park, and attend e d the Council. The Duke of Buccleuch arrived at his residence, Montagu House, Whitehall-gardens, yesterday morning, and attended the meeting: - Sir Edward Knatchbull arrived in town in the early part of the afternoon, from Kent, and also attended the Council. In the present day it is impossible to produce anything new and useful without exciting the cupidity of imitators. Already attempts are made to mystify the identity of the original and genuine article, by foisting upon the public the contents of bottles having a Tin-foil covering, falsely denominated "a neat metallic capsule." J. T. BETTS and CO. therefore deem it essential to impress upon purchasers the absolute necessity of comparing the Embossed Capsules with the Labels, as an infallible mode of detecting fraudulent substitutions. BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, thus protected, may be obtained of the undermentioned Wine and Spirit Merchants, at 3s.

I left his service because he turned me away. He turned me away for some little trifling thing I had done. I was turned away for having stolen his property and pawned it.

Last night Mr. Charles Kean performed the part of Macbeth for the first time this season. The house was well attended, and considerable anxiety was manifested to witness his performance of this, one of his favourite characters. He was more than usually successful in his delivery of the soli loquy, " Is this a dagger which I see before me," which he ody busi ness , commenced in a voi ce greatly subdued, and i ncre ased it in power and volume a s h e proceeded. The c li max — It is the blo it There's no such thing. — Thus to mine e y es, " was finely effective. The part of Lady Macbeth was per formed by Mrs. "Warner in a manner which compe l s us to admit that she very a bl y represented a ver y difficult cha racter. The new ball e t o f t h e Beauty of Gh en t was repeated which informs with the same succes s w i t h which it was received on its first representation on Saturday night. there, the plaintiff and the defendant were like brothers. Mrs. Fraser used to come down to Mr. Bagley's chambers and take wine with him frequently. Mr. Fraser very often opened the door and walked in. There was nothing to pre vent any person from doing so. William Whitelaw, examined by Mr. IxcAs—l was at one time page to M rs . F raser . I wen t i n t o h er service in April, 1840. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser then lived in Melcombe place. Mrs. Fraser has given me notes to take to Mr. Bagley in the Inner Temple He sometimes came to see my mistress. He dined there, and stopped as late as eleven or twelve o'clock at night, and sometimes till one o'clock. On some of those occasions Mr. Fraser was out of town. Thoitas Smithers, formerly in the defendant's service, gave evidence as to the intimacy of Mr. Fraser and Mr. Bagley, and the visits of Mrs. Fraser to Mr. Bagley's chambers. Jessie Salter examined by Mr. THESIGER—I am a widow. I was formerly a nurse to Mrs. Fraser. I went into her ser vice in August, 1839, and remained with her nearly four years. I left her in the beginning of June last year. She first lived in Melbury-terrace and afterwards in Melecombe place. My master was frequently absent from town. I knew the defendant. I frequently saw him in Melcombe place. He often dined there. He dined there every Sun day, and sometimes four or five days successively. He sp- Feared to be on ve r y i nt i mate and f r i endly terms with Mr. raser. Mrs. Fraser was of a very violent temper ; but I never saw Mr. Fraser unkind or violent towards his wife. I have at different times observed her violence towards him. I recollect her being out at night many times. The defen dant has come to Melcombe-place when the plaintiff has not been in town. Sometimes he would come to lunch, and take Mrs. Fraser out, and then r e t urn t o di nner an d spen d the evening with her. They usually remained in the dining room. There was a sofa in that room. When Mr. Bagley was not there visitors were usually shown into the dining room ; but when lie was there, they were invariably shown into the drawing-room. I never went suddenly into the dining room but once, while Mr. Bagley was there. Mrs. Fraser had sent up to the nursery to say that she wanted me, and I came down immediately to the dining room and opened th e d oor. Mrs. Fraser was standing with her back to the door, and the defendant was lying on the sofa. Mrs. Fraser said to him, " Ring the bell, my dear, for Elizabeth." Elizabeth was the name of the cook. Mr. Bagley looked hard at Mrs. Fraser, and then Mrs. Fraser turned round and told me very sharply what she wanted. I have known Mr. Bagley go up to the nursery when the children were in bed. No other gentleman who visited the house did that. Mrs. Fraser was confined on the 6th of October, 1841. The plaintiff was there, and appeared interested and anxious about her. He went to the sessions shortly afterwards. Mr. Bagley came to the house eight or nine days after my mistress was confined. He ca me severa l times. He dined in her bedroom the first time he came, and spent the evening there. He once brought her some warm stockings. These circumstances excited suspicions in my mind. The witness gave some further evidence, and was cross-examined by Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Kelly, when the case was adjourned till this day. FRENCH PLAYS. Les Petiies Miseres de la vie Humaine is one of those light, amusing little fanfarronades which appear in such countless variety at the St. James's Theatre, and possesses but little intrinsic merit as a composition. Cartigny and Barqui, how ever, by their excellent acting, contrived to convert the little misfortunes which speckle the monotony of our existence into amusements of very considerable dimensions, and the audience were cheated into laughing outright at those miseres which, perhaps, they will not endure with so g ood a grace when they jostle upon them in every-day life.

SCALPEL'S ANATOMY of the PEERAGE ; forming a com plete History of the Peerage of the United Kingdom, for the Informa tion of its People. The WEEKLY CHRONICLE is now printed on superior paper of the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other Lon don weekly paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation and arrangement of its general news and Parliamentary iutelligenoe, of which It gives a much fuller and far more satisfactory summary than any of its Contemporaries. And this it is enabled to do from the principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted; for while the Weekly Chronicle will be found to give due attention to literature, science, the fine arts, the drama, and even to sporting intelli gence, so far as this latter can bo said to interest the general reader, neither sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are allowed to supersede the proper objects of a newspaper—those sub jects of breathing, living import to the progress of society, and to the well-being of the people throughout the whole length and breadth of Home and Colonial England. The Weekly Chronicle is the advocate of extended suffrage—of the ballot—of a shortened duration of Par liament—of free trade—of systematic colonisation—of the education of the people on the principles of civil and religious liberty—of a re adjustment of the revenues of the Irish Church, and of other measures of justice calculated to consolidate the union—of peace at home and abroad—of a repeal of the odio income-tax, with a reduction of the expenditure ; and not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it treats all other public questions in a kindred spirit and tone; whilst its means of information may be judged from the fact that it was, among other instances of early intelligence, the first to announce to the world the visit of the Queen to France—the determination of the Government to arrest O'Connell and his friends—both which facts were announced in the Weekly Chronicle for several days before they were communicated to the Government press. The Weekly Chronicle also announced recently the intended recal of Earl de Grey—a state ment which was contradicted at the time by the whole of the Go vernment press, but which the Weekly Chronicle never shrank ttom, and which now passes unchallenged as a fact. Arrangements have been made for bringing down the news con tained in the Weekly Chronicle to a much later date than usual, in some instances anticipating the average of last year by a week ; and, to effect this, every department of the paper has been scrupulously revised and efficiently re-constructed. For the convenience of our friends, the three following editions are published ; and, by attending to these directions, the substitution of any other edition for the one preferred, and for which the nrder should be distinctly given, may be prevented : I. An edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces on the Sa turday, marked " Country Edition." 2. An edition for circulation in London on the Saturday, and in the country on the Sunday, marked " Town and Country Edition." 3.

This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much lower than most Dentists.

Bellini's opera of Norma was produced at this theatre last evening with Mrs. Wood as Norma, Miss Grant as Adalgisa, and Mr. Wood as Polio. The Norma of Mrs. Wood is a fine and impassioned piece of acting—some what deficient, perhaps, in dignity, but full of pathos and energy. She represents Norma as the tender, confiding girl, who, having devoted her whole soul to Polio, is driven to phrenzy by his desertion. H er " Casta diva" in the first act was beautifully sung, we had fancied that she would hare been tempted to introduce too many graces and roulades, but her good taste prevented her from doing this, and she gave . this beaut i f u l hymn with the utmost purity of expression. In th e scene with Adalgisa and Pollio . she was very great. Her manner of giving His children, too, s h a ll perish, " was perfectly harrowing.. The . duet with Adalgisa in this scene was exquisitely given by Mrs. Wood and Miss Grant, and deservedly encored. Her acting was very beautiful, too, when she r es i gns Pollio to Adalgisa ; and the trio with which the act concludes was very finely sung by Mr. and Mrs. Wood and Miss Grant. In the opening scene of the second act, her acting was of the very highest order. Driven to mad ness by Pollio's desertion, she rushes to her children's couch to murder them as they sleep ; but when she sees them the mother's feelings triumph, and, throwing from her the dagger, she in an agony of tears presses th em t o her heart. Then comes t he beautiful duet " D e h Conte," which was given with the most exquisite taste and expression, by M rs. Woo d and Miss Grant. In the last scene, after she has denounced herself as the perjured priestess, and sealed her own condemnation, nothing could exceed the touching tenderness of her address to Pollio, and the duet which immediately fol lows, was given both by herself and Mr. Wood, with the most exquisite pathos—then came the i mpass i oned ap peal to Oroveso to save her children, in which her looks, her tones, her gestures were perfectly heartrending. This last scene was a triumph of art,. and the curtain fell amidst the loudest applause. Miss Grant's Adalgisa was very excellent. Her fin e voice told admirably in the concerted pieces, and the solo in the first act was given in a manner that would have done credit to the most accomplished singer on the stage. We never before heard Miss Grant to so much ad vantage. Sh e has improved immensely within the l as t twelve months, and it will be her own fault if she does not, and that at no distant day, rank among the very first in her pro fession. - Wood's Pollio was a fine manly piece of act ing, and he sang the music of the part with purity, cor- INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 19. IN RE LOUIS AUGUSTE DIEUDONNE (SUED AS AUGUST DIEUDONNE). Louis Auguste Dieudonne was opposed by Mr. Cresswell, for French creditors ; he was supported by Mr. Cooke. Mr. CRESSWELL stated that the insolvent was a corn-dealer and Government contractor atNevers, in France, and was de clared a bankrupt there in August, 1842, his liabilities amount ing to 13,811/. 18s. Bd., he having previously left that king dom, and come to England with nearly 3,6001. in his posses sion. Upon this his creditors proceeded against him, and he was de&ared a fraudulent bankrupt, and sentenced to the gal leys for 20 years, and to stand in the pillory. But not being able to carry this adjudication into effect, his effigy was placed in the stocks to undergo this disgrace in his stead, as is cus tomary in that country. The cause of his application to this Court was, that proceedings had been taken against him in this country by the creditors of his estate in France. He (Mr. Cresswell) wished the insolvent to account for the dis position of the property he had absconded with to England. He should require proof of the statements on this subject in serted in his schedule. _ _ Mr. COOKE described the severe consequeaces to which he had been subjected by absconding from France, which•would cut him off from a beneficial interest in any property that might accrue to him for ever after. He had left assets behind him sufficient to discharge 25 per cent. of all his debts. He was now suffering under the effect of a judgment as a bank rupt ; and as nenzo bis punzatur was a principle of law in Eng land as well as in }ranee, he submitted that he was not strictly liable to a remand by this Court. Mr. Commissioner Pomocx did not see what ground there was for this argument. His banishment, it might be recol lected, was occasioned by his own admitted misconduct; and when sitting in that Court he was to administer an Act of the British Parliament according to English law, and could not take cognizance of the French bankrupt law. If an offence was proved under the Ist and 2d Vict., he must deal with it under its provisions, and could not take into his consideration the result of the bankruptcy in France. The insolvent accounted for the greater part of the property he had brought with him to England by saying that he sent it to his creditors in France. He should require proof of that ; for, if so, it was a very honest and satisfactory answer. The case was adjourned to the 2d of March, when it, will be fully iuvestigated. FASIIIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

THE HUNTINGDON RAILWAY. The subject of a railway to the town of Huntingdon has been again mooted by some parties at a distance, and an ef fort is • being made to obtain support for the undertaking amongst the influential of our townsmen. It appears that certain persons at Norwich, 'desirous of getting a transit for their goods into the north, have hit upon this notable scheme —to unite a line from thence with the northern and eastern line at Cambridge, then to skirt St. Ives, pass close by liuntingdon, to Join the London and Birmingham at Thrap stun. Doubtless this might be an advantage to the makers of crape and bombazines ; but how would the prosperity of the town of Huntingdon be affected by it ? The line proposed would place us within three hours' ride of the metropolis, and as a consequence carry to the London markets much of the custom which yet remains to us, whilst it would give us no advantage at all equivalent to this serious loss, the only return we should have being a quicker journey to London when required, and a quicker delivery of goods—two circumstances of trifling importance, when put in the balance against loss of trade. The present coaching system would be entirely annihilated—the inn keepers might sell their horses, and one of the large inns at least out of the two might be turned into shops, which nobody would want to occupy ? The agriculturists alone might find a trifling advantage in disposing of their produce; but as we shall in a short time be within sixteen miles of a railway at three points of the compass, the boon to them would not be so great as to justify the sacrifice which their neighbours must make. Already, it is lamentable to observe that that high feeling which was wont to knit toge ther the society in its own locality, and to make men rejoice in each other's fair fame and prosperity, has been superseded, to a great extent, by the besetting sin of the age ; and if self can be advantaged, it matters not who is the sufferer. With this absorbing feeling on the increase, who shall say what would be the result in a few years to the majority of those in the town now maintaining their families in credit and respec tability? But looking at the scheme as a speculation, it must entirely fail, for what traffic would there be between Thrap ston and Cambridge, with a station :at Thrapston, Peter borough, and Ely besides, to pay the expenses of between 30 and 40 miles of road? We believe these yiews coincide with thoSe of the majority of our townsmen ; and we hope they will use whatever influence they'possess to nip the scheme in the bud. If they want any confirmation of the truth of our deductions, let them turn to Hertford, where the rail has been lately introduced, and inquire there how much the inha bitants would give to get rid of it. After all it may be, we trust . it is, the adventure of some luckless wight wishing for a berth for himself and son; such a man was eager in pro moting a similar undertaking some years ago, and after swindling a few and befooling the many, left them to the quiet enjoymenf of their own reflections.—Cambridge Chronicle.

(THE THE ORANGE SOCIETY.—The following resolutions were passed unanimously at a meeting held in Coleraine, on Mon day, February 12, 1844, which was attended by the repre sentatives of upwards of ten thousand Orangemen from the counties of Antrim and Berry : " Resolved —That- the Grand Lodge of Ireland having dissolved themselves, the district masters here present do form themselves into a lodge, to be called the Grand Lodge of Ulster.' " That, in consequence of the dissolution of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, and the consequent disorganisation of the Orange system in this country, it is expedient that the same powers and privileges which were vested in the Grand Lodge of Ireland, during its existence, be now vested in the Grand Lodge of Ulster. " That a Committee be appointed to carry out the above resolutions. " That, as Orangemen, we are bound to preserve unshaken loyalty to our Gracious Queen, being Protestant, and to support her against all her enemies, foreign or domestic ; that we will stand together to defend with our properties and lives the integrity of the empire, as cemented by the Legislative Union ; and that we will, by the grace of God, to the best of our ability, maintain the Holy Scriptures as the standard of faith and morals. " That the Orange Institution commenced when this kingdom was threatened with invasion by foreign enemies, and rebellion by internal foes; and that our brethren in the year 1798, and - at all other times, have proved by their acts as yeomen and Orangemen, the strong attachment they have held to the Sovereign and our once glorious Constitution. _ "That we have, for some time past, witnessed with alarm the rebellious spirit which has shown itself—and that we are determined, as Protestants, to unite more closely in those bonds, that will enable us in this time of peril to resist the attacks of our inveterate enemies, whose sole aim is our extir pation from this country for ever. " That the Grand Lodge of Ulster do receive into union all lodges in the province which may wish to join themselves to it, and that all county masters be ex-qfficio members of the Grand Lodge of Ulster." D- M •G OF ..AJOR-GENERAL GOODMAN.—(FTOID the Guiana Herald, Jan. 3.)—This day the melancholy duty devolves upon us to record the death of Major-General Goodman, C. 8., K.H.—a sad, but, we believe, not wholly un expected event, which occurred last evening, about nine o'clock. General Goodman, besides considerable service in the Peninsula, was present at the "great and crowning day" of Waterloo. • The composer Ricci is at present at Paris, to super intend the rehearsals of his forthcoming opera Corrado d'Altamura, at the Italian Opera there. A SECOND DANIEL LAMBERT: On Sunday after noon was buried at St. Bride's church, Fleet-street, a well known character, named Charles Cole, aged 42, who was found by his wife, on the morni ng o f T ues d ay last, dead by her side. Cole, though not more than 5 feet 7 inches in height, was of extraordinary bulk, weighing nearly 24 stone (141bs. per stone). He had been in the capacity of cook at the Rainbow, in Fleet-street, nearly 14 years, and during that period he gave eat satisfaction to his empl o y ers an d ot h ers. A short time before his decease, however, he had grown enormously fat. A slight mistake, it would seem, had been made made in the dimensions of the coffin, it being upwards of 6 feet 3 inches in length, done probably for the purpose of taking off the appearance of its bulk, but on being brought to the grave it was found to be much too long; this occasioned some delay : it was, however, speedily rectified, and the ponderous mass was soon consigned to mother earth. THE CASE OF SUPPOSED TRANCE AT DEPTFORD.— Upon instituting inquiry yesterday, as connected with the supposed trance of the young man, William Francis, who lies at the Oxford Arms, Church-street, Deptford, Dr. Arthur, and other medical gentlemen, who have watched the case. say decomposition is already manifesting itself in the neck and abdomen. DAILY PRAYER.—In the English Churchman there is a list of all the churches in England, with the exception of the cathedrals and some metropolitan churches in which daily prayers are read. The list ext en d s to the number of 190. Two Suffolk pigs, the property of Mr. James Ward, Haughley, were killed this week by Mr. John Denny of the above parish, the extraordinary weight of which has excited considerable curiosity. Their united weight was 83 stones, 1 pound, fourteen pounds to the stone ; the length of each; 8 feet 3 inches. Weight of first, 42 stones, 4 pounds, and of second, 40 stones, 11 pounds.—lpswich Earess. CONFESSIONS OF A WHITEFOOT:—.4t is impossible to read this remarkable book which, though dealing in facts, is as profoundly interesting as a well-wrought work of fiction, without feeling that it is likely to be beneficial to all classes in Ireland. The " Confessions' are a striking repre sentation, by an Irishman, of Irish 'crimes, follies, and weak nesses, as they exist not alone in the lower orders, but in the proprietors of the"soil. - In exhibiting the numerous evils of which he treats, the author shows how they maybe averted. He proves that "much may be done by the landlord, much by the magistrates, much by the Legislature—and, what is more important than all, much by the people themselves." Independently of the value of the " Confessions," in a social point of view, the work possesses the most absorbing power of entertainment as a narrative; and no reader can open its, impressive pages without eagerly perusing them to the end. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS AT WASHINGTON. —ln the House of Representatives the proceedings concluded with a fight. The account o f it may i nterest our readers, and even surprise some who do not read the American papers. A Mr. Weller had told a Mr.'Shriver that certain written statements were incorrect :—" To this Mr. Shrives answered, that he wrote them from his own observation, or informa tion, and that if Mr. Weller said they were 'false, he told falsehoods, •or was a liar. Weller then struck' him, and they clinched, fell against one of the windows, broke it (this was just behind the Globe reporter's desk), and down went one or both of them. Several Members rushed up, some tried to separate them, others cried Let 'em have a fair fight ;':and one Democratic Member said,' If there'sanybody that wishes to take his part (alluding to the Whigs), I shall take a hand in the matter myself.' Finally, after several blows had been struck, Mr. Broadhead, of Pennsylvania, separated them. Mr. Shriver went to the Police-office, got a warrant for Mr. \Yeller, and held Mr. Weller to bail." HORRIBLE RENCONTRE.—A slip from the Harris burgh Chronicle, dated Friday, announces a fatal rencontre that day between Mr. J. Prince, of that place, and Mr. T. P. H.-Loud, attorney-at-law. There had been some diffi culty between them arising out of some legal business trans acted by the latter for the former. On Friday morning, at about eleven o'clock, the parties met near the corner of Third and Walnut-streets, and Mr. Prince inquired of Mr. Loud as to the truth of certain derogatory language which he (Mr. Prince) had understood Mr. Loud had made respecting him. The latter denied his right to question him, and was about to move on, when Mr. Prince, who was armed with a heavy walking-stick, caught him by the collar, and applied his care to the shoulders of Mr. Loud. Before he had struck the third blow Mr. Loud drew a double-barrelled pistol, took deliberate aim, and fired. Both balls entered the body of his antagonist just below the left breast, causing instant death. Mr. Prince was a highly respectable citizen, has left a wife and four chil dren, and the scene, when his lifeless corpse was conveyed to his family, is described as most heartrending. Loud imme diately gave himself up, and was undergoing examination.— New York Paper. THE BRIGADE or FOOT-GUARDS.—The half yearly change of quarters of the under-mentioned battalions of the brigade of toot Guards will take place on the Ist of March, as follows ;—Grenadier Guards, second battalion, from Portman-street Barracks to St. John's Wood Barracks; third battalion from Windsor, three companies (head quarters) to Kensington Barracks ; one company to Maga zine Barracks ; one company to Buckingham Palace Bar racks ; one company to St. George's Barracks; and one company to Wellington Barracks.

THE LATE COUNTESS OF ELGIN.—The Jamaica House of Assembly has evinced, by a unanimous grant of 300 guineas for a tablet to be erected in the cathedral church of Spanish Town, to the memory of Lady Elgin, the high opinion entertained of her Ladyship by the members of that House. THE SPITALFIELDS WEAYERS.—Last night, at eight o'clock, a general meeting of the journeymen broad silk weavers, of Spitalfields, Bethnal-green, and the vicinity, i• was held at the Crown and Anchor, Cheshire-street, Water , 100-town, to hear the report of the committee relative to their interview with Mr. W. E. Gladstone, President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Gale having been called to the chair, • briefly stated the object of the meeting, when Mr. Sher • wood, one of the deputation who waited on the Board of Trade, said, that at the interview there were present Mr. W. E. Gladstone, President of the Board of Trade, the Earl of Dalhousie, and Mr. G. Shaw Lefevrc, with whom they re mained two hours, and by whom their representations were listened to most patiently. The object of the deputation was to show the intense privations and sufferings endured by the labourers in consequence of the operation of the principfes of free trade. They pointed out that in the year 1797 the weaver at Manchester received 265. Bd. per week, whereai the wages of the weavers now were 3s. 6d. They urged that the Government should, as formerly, give them some legis lative protection. In the reign of Edward IV, they stated that a law was passed to protect the working man, and in every successive reign to that of Elizabeth the same system was adopted, when the sheriffs and magistrates were em powered to see that the price of food and articles of necessity should not exceed the means of the labourer to purchase them. The effect of the present system of free trade was, that the manufacturers amassed immense fortunes, much larger than was ever in the power of the farmers to obtain. Mr. Gladstone directed the attention of the deputation to the difficulty of giving legislative protection, but assured them that Government would be most anxious to take their re presentations into consideration. The report was agreed to, . and a resolution was unanimously adopted, advocating a legislative enactment for the protection of labour. Another resolution was carried, thanking Mr. Oastler for his exer tions in their cause. The meeting separated about 11 o'clock. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—The Rev. Jeffery Da , vies, curate of Cadoxton, Glamorganshire, met hiS death last week in a most extraordinary manner. A small but rather deep hole had been made by the side of a new sawpit at Neath, for the purpose of inserting:a post, and into this hole the Rev. Gentleman at night fell, and he was discovered dead in it next morning. The hole in which the body was found was only 2i feet in diameter at the surface, two feet at bot tom, and six in depth. The body was in a sitting posture, but, from the narrowness of the hole, nearly doubled up ; the feet were elevated above the level of the head, which was pressed down on the chest. From the sandy nature of the soil, the deceased's heels could get no purchase, although his efforts to extricate himself appeared to have been most vio lent, from the quantity of loose sand which lie had displaced from the sides of the hole and deposited in his lap, and which partially filled his mouth and eyes. AN ATTACHED SERVANT. Mr. 11. ANlallurn, aged 85, died last week at Castle Donington, for 72 years a faithful servant to the late lamented Marquis of Hastings and his ancestors. When the sad intelligence arrived of his be loved Lord's death, it was too much for his feeble frame, and his grief became excessive. After the remains of the were placed in the vault, he descended,M ar quisand too n k , off and exclaimed, flung himself in an anguish upon the r " ec O o h ve l re m d 3 the e ea s r h l o , c o k r , d a , nhda did Inolitcseudrit.qiNc.soerehtiVs noble?"
