THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS August 4. [NEW TI M ES.] - Letters were yesterday received from St. Pe tersburg, but they were of less recent date than thirie quoted in our last. So far as they go they are satisfactory, and coincide with the pacific tenor of the latest advices. The consequence is, that our funds have been gradually improving. They advanced during the whole of yesterday. Consols for the Account opened at 75, sellers ; and closed at 751, strong buyers. It may be fairly admitted, that the convulsions of the Turkish Empire present, with reference to the politics of the rest of Europe, some questions of peculiar nicety : and a Journalist, at the pre sent. moment, may perhaps be excused for not committing himself rashly, by a hasty decision on every question that is agitated. But certainly the " Leading Journal," (The Old Times),f or a leader, is singularly averse to the delivery of any thing that can be tortured into the semblance of an opinion. The following questions are abundantly sufficient to exemplify its talents in the happy art of no-meaning:— " Are the Greeks to be abandoned altogether to the Infi dels ?"—(We don't knout.) " Can Russia be prevented from making an undue profit of their more adequate protection from the excesses of Tyranny ?" —('We doubt.) " Or of their absolute liberation from the Tyrant ?"—(Still harder to answer.) " Have England and her Allies—if Allies she possesses in this embarrassing and important work—(Doubt upon Doubt !) have they, we repeat, looked at the whole of their subject ?" —This last question leaves so much to the ima gination ; it is so close a copy of Lord Burleigh's shake of the head, in The Critic; it implies such deep reflection in the person asking, and so little inclination, on his part, to help the Cabinets of Europe out of their difficulties, that we are almost ashamed to subjoin to it, as we have done to the others, the true and genuine answer, which the Interrogator himself, if he were honest, must have given, and which is simply—We know no more of the matter than the man in the moon. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Hamburgh Correspondent contains an article which, if really authentic, as announced, is of considerable interest. It states that all the great European Powers have remonstrated against the system of cruelty exercised on the Greeks by the Turks, and that the Ottoman Porte, in its answer, has disavowed a spirit of persecution against Christians, with which it has been charg ed 2 a nd pleaded necessity, as also the right of an independent state to punish its guilty subjects, in justification of any act of violence imputed to it. The tone of the explanation is pacific, and if the article be genuine must remove any suspicion of a wish on the part of Turkey to provoke hostili ties with Russia. How any such suspicion came to be entertained, we are at a loss to conceive.— It Trould be great folly on her part to wantonly court a quarrel with a Power with which she knows her inability to contend. An opinion seems to gain ground that the differences which have arisen will be amicably adjusted, and that the recal of Baron Strogonoff will prepare the way to a perfect reconciliation. We hope, how ever, that, the present opportunity for ameliorat ing the state of the Turkish provinces on the north of the Danube will not be lost. The Ot toman Porte has, to a certain extent, admitted the interference of Russia in their political rela tions, and as long as they remain in their present state, a scene of plunder and oppression, new plots and insurrections, may be expected. On the other hand, to effect a salutary change in their situation, may extend the influence of Rus sia in that quarter. The danger of this result has divided opinion upon this subject, and is a principal obstacle to any attempt to improve these unfortunate countries. [MORNING POST.] The French Papers inform us that the Peers had adopted the Finance Law, or Budget, as amend ed by the Deputies, and that the Session was to be dosed last Tuesday. Messrs. De Villele and De Corbiere had left Paris, the one for Tou louse and the other for Rennes, and the Gazette de France adds, that they had resigned the posts which they held in the Ministry. If this statement be correct, the union between the Ul tra Royalists and the Moderes, which took place soon after the downfallof De Cazes, may be con sidered as entirely dissolved, and the Ministry must look for now allies, or prepare to surrender its authority at the opening of another Session, for it does not possess sufficient strength to stand by itself against the shock of parties. We have given abundant extracts from the Irish Papers (See another column of THE SUN) of all the preparations making throughout Ireland to receive his Majesty worthily. Notwithstand ing the political union which exists between the two islands, the genuine warmth of Irish feeling is as yet unknown, or at least not perfectly un derstood, in this country ; and what is fervent sincerity of soul across the channel, may some times pass on this side for extravagance. On this, occasion, however, the Irish have not dis played their enthusiasm in words alone. They have added deeds to prove its reality ; and the cordial union of those Protestants and Catholics, who had for ages stood in fierce and apparently irreconcileable hostility to each other—their abjuration of all religious and political prejudices—their meeting like brothers, to welcome a common Parent, and form an indis soluble bond at his feet—all these are surely pledges that however extravagant their expres sions may be, they only express what they feel, and what they also know how to perform. What country ever presented such a political pheno menon as that which has now taken place in Ireland ?—(lbid.) [TiIE TIMES.] Of all that is said and circulated on questions of great public importance, much will necessarily attract the attention, upon which we ought not in common prudence to ground our judgment on matters either of fact. or contingency. Of such a nature is a large proportion of the intelligence which reaches this country from the East of Europe, and especially through the medium of Foreign newspapers. Amongst the variety of ac counts 'from Turkey which find a place in our extracts from the French Journals of Wednesday (which arrived at a late hour - last night,) and from those of Hamburgh of 28th ult. there is nothing which yet decides the question of immediate peace or war between Russia and the Porte. A docu ment from the Hamburgh Papers, under the head of " Authentic Comoienication," contains an alleged answer by thew Effendi to " Re " monstrances from all the great European CC Powers, respecting the cruel conduct of the " Turkish Government to the Greeks, and re " specting the attitude it seems disposed to as " sume towards Russia, the intimate Ally of " Austria, Prussia, England, and France." Whe ►her this document be authentic or not, we can not determine ; but we suppose we may argue upon it as containing the understood defence of the Turkish Government against existing charges. [MORNING • HERALD.] THU FUNDS.-The transactions of yesterday were not to any great extent; nor is any great variation anticipated until it is known who are the contractors for the French Loan.—The cause of the rise may be attributed to the Bears having sold too freely in the early part of the week, with the intention to bang down the market. To such of our readers who are unac quainted with this mode of creating a diversion in the Funds, it may he necessary to state, that it is managed by two or three persons precon certing large sales, which are, in the language of the Stock Exchange, snatched the moment they are offered, and thus a false depression is often produced, without any real business having been done.

Aug. 29 7si 7 4 i - 7 5 iiii ............. 7 . rMORNING CHRONICLE.] Letters from Smyrna of the 26th of June, from Constantinople the 2d, and Odessa the 6th of July, were received. yesterday.—The Odessa letter states " that a courier, with dispatches from St. Petersbuigh, arrived here yester day. On his authority we derive intelligence that there will be no disagreement between Rus sia and Turkey." The letter from Constanti nople, of the 2d of • July, which is from the Consul-General, states that a communication had been received by the Porte from the Court of St. Petersburgh ; that the contents have not been publicly made known, but " we have strong reason to believe that it contains confidential as surances of amity, and a decided disapproval of the conduct of Baron Strogonoff, who will be immediately recalled." The source from which the Constantinople intelligence comes is most re spectable, and it must be considered to afford a fair representation of the views of the best in formed persons of that place. All the blame in this and most of the letters from the same quar ter, is thrown on the Russian Authorities, who are described as having endeavoured by every means to provoke the vengeance of the Ottoman Government. That the Turks in their present difficulties would be desirous of giving offence to Russia, of the power of which they have so often bad such dreadful experience, is what few will be disposed to believe.—But it is almost as difficult to believe that the Russian Autho rities would endeavour so assiduously to provoke the vengeance of the Turkish Government with out instructions from, or at least an understand ing of some sort with their Cabinet. The com plexion of the intelligence has, however, had its in fluence on our Funds ; for Consols, which opened yesterday at 748, closed at 758. Have the re presentations of England and France (perhaps also Austria) induced the Russian Cabinet to abandon their views, and. to disown the conduct of Strogonoff and the other Russian authorities ? Are the Greeks to be abandoned to their fate ? or will Russia concur with the other powers in a plan for securing them against the vengeance of the Turks ? The subject abounds with diffi culties, view it which way we will. We regret to say, that her Majesty's illness has assumed a very alarming appearance, and that fears are even entertained for her life.— Her Majesty must have been more than human, could she have remained insensible to the gross and slanderous abuse with which she has been incessantly assailed in the Ministerial Press of this country. We cannot help believing, there fore, that her illness is in a great measure attri butable to the mental uneasiness which that abuse must have occasioned. All who looked forward to preferment of every kind, knew well that to slander her Majesty was one of the most infal lible means to which they could resort for suc ceeding in their object ; and industry in this disgraceful vocation, could not fail therefore to have at all times a powerful stimulus. The independent part of the Press rendered essential service to her Majesty during the proceedings against her, but with the close of these proceed ings its power of serving her Majesty, in a great measure, also ceased. The activity of her ene mies, however, has never known any abatement, but has been regular as the calls of appetite. That her Majesty should at length suffer from the incessant battery of these base and cowardly calumniators is not surely to be wondered at.— Yesterday morning, the workmen employed at the Royal Exchange were thrown into great con sternation, by the falling of a large stone, up wards of 200 weight, from the top of the build ing. In its passage it broke various thick planks : many of the men clung to the poles, and one jumped from a ladder a considerable height. For tunately no person was hurt. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [PRODS 4C THE HULL PACKET," JULY 30.] We congratulate our readers on the happy re sult of the day which consecrated the Sovereign to the duties of his office, and ratified, by the solemn rites of religion, the covenant betiveen him and his people. Nothing could exceed the highly judicious, gratifying, and peaceful manner in which the whole of the felicitous pro ceeding was commenced and conducted to its ac complishment. But, being accomplished, we see the propriety of resuming other topics, espe cially such as are connected with the best in terests of the public. Of these the most im portant is : THE LATE SESION OF PARLIAMENT. The Parliamentary campaign which has just closed is cer tainly quite unworthy of any thing like a detailed and circum stantial history, and perhaps scarcely deserving of the brief and hasty notice which we now give it. It has in general been dull and flat, almost beyond any thing in the annals of modern dri velling ; and, indeed, this deplorable insipidity has been ren dered more striking by the splendid exceptions which are to be made from it. If any thing could add to the utter scorn with which the public have regarded the proceedings of such States men as Hume, Ferguson, Wilson, C4-eevey, &c. it is, that these persons have stood contrasted with some men not unworthy of the best days of the British senate. To all those who feel for the honour and dignity of Parlia ment, it can scarcely fail to be one of the principal matters of regard in looking at its late proceedings, that the character of this assembly is most woefully changed—changed, indeed, as far as the utmost conceivable degradation of the Opposition can change it. The very purpose of this party should be to give life and spirit to the body politic, and every one knows how well this purpose was once fulfilled. A debate in Parliament was then the contest of Statesman-like intellect, and of energies ex cited by a generous and honourable rivalry. But now the only effect which the Opposition has, is to make the deliberations of this august body resemble the querulous conversation of a meet ing of discontented stock-jobbers. The system lately followed by the successors of Fox and She ridan, is really such as could have occurred only to men totally without capacity to pursue any other. In speaking of the " system" followed by these persons, we do not at present al lude to their graver offences of courting the mob by every spe cies of vulgar artifice, but merely to their less culpable, though not less despicable tactics within the walls of the House of Com mons. The way in which they have indiscriminately opposed the Ministry, even in those measures .of common routine which used to pass as matters of course—and that too without anypos sible object, except the satisfaction of waging a troublesome warfare on the time and patience of their adversaries—is really quite unworthy of any party but that which acknowledges the supremacy of Joseph Hume. Perhaps there never was so humiliating a thing for the Op position as the rank which this person has acquired among them. We wish heartily to see a vigorous and able Opposition; and it really is quite melancholy , to have such a certain and infallible indication of their weakness and folly. It is scarcely possible to give a more expressive account of the rapid and complete degradation, and of the total change in the manners, habits, and feelings of this party;than by saying that but a few years have intervened between their homage to Mr. Fox and their homage to the Montrose doctor. _ _ But not Only have the proceedings of Parliament thus been vulgarised of - late beyond example—they have in general been very unsatisfactory and unprofitable. The utter emptiness of the arrogant pretensions of the Whigs has, indeed, been suffi ciently exposed. And when we remember what these preten sions were, and the manner in which they were brought forward at the commencement of the Session, perhaps this circumstance is not to be lightly valued. But then we must recollect like wise, that notwithstanding the loud bullying way in which the claims of the Whigs were then urged, they were contemptu ously rejected by Parliament on the first opportunity. Nearly half the Session was occupied, after the judgment of the country on the conduct of the Ministry had been deliberately pronounc ed, in motions on that subject, which could have no other effect but to shew the inveterate spite of the Whigs, and to waste the time of Parliament. With respect to the former, it is of not the slighteit importance • but the latter is a serious grievance, and has been se vere ly felt as such. It is unfortunate when there is a party who can stoop to the system of measures which causes it, and it is obvious that there is no party—however mo derate either their talents or reputation—by which that system is not attainable ; so that the power of doing mischief, to this extent at least, is possessed by the Whigs only in common with the lowest of mankind. Upon the whole—however triumphant the late session of Parliament has been for Ministers—we are far from viewing it with satisfaction. Much of the attention of the Legislature has been occupied by persons altogether unworthy of it, and fritter ed away in matters which have been made the avowed means of gratifying the ill-nature of these persons. Most of the divi sions that have taken place have been forced with the professed object of harassing the Government, and this is a state of mat ters which cannot possibly go on long. We are happy that, even among the Whis,there have been already some symptoms of disapprobation of it ; and we trust that the paltry faction who may persevere in it as their own great political invention, will speedily be put down by the indignant voice of the country. 41 We are of opinion that the inefficiency of the late proceed ings of Parliament have been chiefly owing to the unprincipled conduct of the Whi gs ; b u t we t hi nk also that, by a remarkable fatality, the Session has been singularly unpropitious even to measures in which their noxious influence was less directly felt. Besides the ordinary businewof Government, there have been only two subjects of importance canvassed—the Catholic Claims —and,the State of Agriculturists ; and, with regard to both of these, it may now fairly be said, that it is to be wished that they never had been agitated. As to the Catholic Claims, we be lieve that it is allowed, even by those who are unfavourable to them, that it would have been better to concede them at once, than to reject them by a narrow majority —a mode of deciding the question which is unsatisfactory to all parties. Of the proceedings with respect to the state of Agriculture, truth has always obliged us to speak with the most unqualified contempt. That the complaints of the farmers should be answered by the mere rigmarole which the Committee have put forth, we regard as one of the deepest stains on the character of the present Parliament. We trust that it will not be a lasting one. RUSSIAN FINANCE. The following is given as a correct statement of the finances of Russia, as they stood on the Ist of January, 1821 :____ DEBTS WHICH BEAR INTEREST : Dutch guilders, 49,100,000 (debt in Holland), 1 £4,000,000 value in pounds sterlin g a b out - Silver roubles, 1 2,615,752, debt inscribed in the 1 1 , 8 0 0 ,000 great book, bearing interest 6 per cent - ) Silver roubles, £13,250,000 ditto, ditto, ditto, 5 per cent - - - - 1,650,000 Paper roubles, £286,624,121 ditto, ditto, ditto, 1 12,000,900 6 per cent - . _ _ J 19,4,50,000 DEBT OF THE EMPIRE, WHICH BEARS NO INTEREST IN GOVERNMENT BANK NOTES : Paper roubles, £639,460,000, value in pounds sterling about - )000,000 Total - X 46,450,000 Against which the Government Banks possesi a capital of 35,799,531 roubles.—And 60,000,000 roubles of the revenue of the empire are annually fixed for the payment of the interest of the national debt, for that of the Sinking Fund, and for the purpose of diminishing the Bank Notes or Government Paper Currency. The Sinking Fund has already a surplus Capital of 15,000,000 roubles, which, at 6 per cent. interest, gives an nually 900,000 toubies ; and it will have to pur chase, in the course of this year, nine millions of the national debt which bears interest. THE HARVEST.—From present appearances, the Wheats in this neighbourhood are expected to be a defective crop, both as to quantity and quality. The Oats and Beans look promising, and will, no doubt, yield abundautly.—(Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette.) Several hundred silver coins of _Elizabeth, James the First, and Charles the First and Second, were recently discovered in a field belonging to JAMES WILIJAMS, Esq. of Camanton, in Cornwall, by some labourers employed in cleating the head of a spring. VOLCANO IN THE ISLE or BOtTIIBON. tAccouNT or A LATE EXPLOSION, BY AN EYE WITNESS.] On the 27th of February, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the weather being cloudy, a frightful noise was heard like that of a loud clap of thun der, produced by the explosion of a column of tire and smoke from the crater of the volcano. The clearness of the rest of the day prevented a full enjoyment of this brilliant horror ; but on the arrival of night a pillar was perceived, fornied of , masses of fire and inflamed matter, shooting majestically to a prodigious height, and falling with a crash which inspired terror. The bright ness which it diffused was such, that over all the extent of this quaiter a letter could be read by the light of this prodigy. Towards the middle of the night three rivers of fire were discovered opening a passage near the summit of the moun tain, a little below the crater, and taking a direc. tion perpendicular to the high road. On the 9th of March one of them had passed it, leaving a line of lava 6 feet high by 20 broad, and rolled to the sea over an extent of 30 poles, throwing up the water to such a height, that it fell down in the shape of rain.—At the moment of the erup tion, a shower, composed of blackish ashes, of gold coloured glass, sulphurous particles, fell in the vicinity of the volcano. It rained thus for two hours. On the 9th of March we experienced an earthquake, which was of so short a duration, that we could not determine its direction. From the first moment of the eruption to the day on which I write, the volcano has not ceased to burn. On the first of this month, it threw out such a quantity of smoke, that the higher parts of the island were covered by it. On the .2.d the rain was so abundant, that the arm of the lava reaching to the sea was extinguished, and on the 4th it could be passed without much danger. An observer, whom I placed in such a manner as to seize the most minute circumstances which the volcano in activity might present, tells me that at this moment the second arm of the lava has reached the high road on a base double the breadth of the former, or 60 poles, and that the third is 200. Having long resided in Naples and Sicily, I have ascertained that the lava pro duced by the volcano of Bourbon does not at all resemble that produced by Vesuvius and 'Etna : the lava of the two latter volcanos is compact, hard, and not porous : trinkets and snuff-boxes are made of it, which take a polish finer than marble. The pavement of Naples is made of square blocks from Mount Vesuvius, and it is so slippery that in time of rain we might skate upon it as on ice. The lava of Bourbon is a species of , scoria, of a black colour, and presents the aspect of iron dross. (Signed) The Mayor of St. Roze, PREYNE DE BALLEROLTE. St. Rose, April 8. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. FORGERY ON THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday the examination of Mr. GOULSTON and Mr. NEWMAN' was resumed, when Mr. Alley attended as Counsel for the latter, and a Solicitor for the former. Twelve o'clock was the time appointed for the at tendance of the whole of the parties, and at that hour Mr. Alley attended, and it was expected that Mr. Maynard, Soli citor to the Bank of England, together with the Prussian Ambassador, would have attended ; but Mr. Maynard did not arrive until half-past one, when he came alone. Previous to the arrival of the latter, Mr. ALLEY inquired whether there was any evidence to prove an intention to de fraud on the part of AI r. Newman ? Mr. For (of the Bank)—No ; only as to finding the articles in his house. Mr. ALLEY then submitted that he had committed no of fence. He was merely employed to print the notes in the course of his business, and he did them in an open and plain manner in his shop ; it was evident that he was not aware of the nature of the articles he was executing, and consequently could have no intention to &fraud, as the Act of Parliament requires, and he was only paid the regular price for printing them. The only course to adopt would be to allow Mr. Newman to become a witness against the party who employed him, for the purpose of convicting them. The men employed by Mr. Newman attended, and all stated that they had no idea what the-notes were Ibr when they were printing them. Mr. Newman and themselves were only paid for them a regular trade working price, according to the labour ; and they were sure he did not k'now the nature of them. By this time Mr. Maynard, the Solicitor to the Bank, had arrived. After some conversation with Mr. Alley, Mr. MAY- N'ARD said he had no objection to allow Mr. Newman to become a witness ; but he had been guilty of a misdemeanour in print ing the notes.—[Here it is necessary to rectify an error which crept in the report of yesterday in Mr. Foy's evidence.] Mr. Foy now stated, that there was no suspicion whatever entertained on the part of the Bank of England, that Mr. New man was in any wry concerned in the printing of other notes. On the contrary, he rendered every facility in his power on the arrival of the officers in his house to assist them in the pursuit of their object, and the property seized was- lying about in the most undisguised manner. The defendants were now brought in, and the evidence taken yesterday was read over by Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Chief Clerk. Several questions were put to the witnesses to ascertain how far the parties were involved in the affair. The Foreigner said, he never gave instructions to Mr. Coniston where to have the note printed. He corresponded with Ludd. Mr. MAYNARD, at the suggestion of Mr. Alley, had no ob jection to take bail for Mr. Newman's appearance for a future hearing. He expected further evidence. The office was exces sively crowded. The books of Mr. Newman were produced to shew that he regularly inserted the number of notes as they were executed, and also the regular demand. The books of Mr. (ou'stun were also produced on this oc casion. Mr. Newman procured bail, who were present in the office, himself in 2001. and two sureties in 1001. each, on condition that he should appear at the Sessions ; and likewise to appear at that office in a fortnight, when it is expc,:ted that he will be made a witness in the proceedings. Mr. Goulston was remanded till the same day. Mr. MAINWARING inquired of him whether he had every' accommodation.in the place he was confined iu ? He answered in the affirmative. Bow-ST RE E T.—Yesterday four men underwent s short exa mination bef'cre 0. IL 31 INsituLL, Esq., the Sitting Magis trate, and were remanded, charged with b e in g concerned in robbing the Dover waggon, belonging to Messrs. Danbury, of property to the amount of 3,83 M. . , George Suckling, a genteel-looking young man, was charged by Nlrs. Mary Ann Stump, of James-street; Buckingham -gate, with stealing from her person her reticule, containing a watch, silver, Ste.-3lrs. Stump was proceeding along the Strand, and the prisoner came running along the same side of the way, and as he passed her snatched the ridicule out of her hand, and was making off, when he was secured by a person who had observed the transaction. He was fully committed for trial. MARY - -LE-BONE OFFlCE.—Yesterday John Frazer was brought to this Office, in the custody of Wellan, the officer, charged by Sir H. Lushington, Bart., of Baker-street, with having stolen several articles of table linen and wearing apparel from his house. It appeared in evidence that the servant left open the area gate, and during her absence for a short time, the prisoner went down the steps, and got through the window into the house, when he proceeded to steal the property men tioned, with which he was stopped when on the point of quit ting the place, and taken in custody.—lt is rather a remarkable coincidence, that a short time ago a man entered the house under similar circumstances, and stole exactly the same pro perty, for which he was convicted at the Sessions.—Sir Henry Lushingbp attended, and for the•purpose of causing inquiry to be made into the prisoner's character, to know whether he is a proper object for his clemency; he requested the case to be postponed. He was accordingly remanded. HAT T 0 N -GAR DEN .—Yesterday ten of the persons appre hended at the Belvidere on Wednesday, at the time of the ascent of the Balloon, charged by the constables with picking pockets, were again brought up ; five of them were discharged ; and the following five—James Bragg, Geo. Watts, Michael Daly, W. R.oraley, and Saw.. Brett s were remanded for a week. HOME CIRCUIT. ' HERTFORD, AUG. 2. The Home Circuit commenced here to.day before the non, Mr. Baron WOOD on the Nisi Prins side, and the non. Mr. Justice Buanouo on the Crown side. The business on the latter side is less than the average quantity, there being only about 15 cases in the calendar, very few of which are capital offences. In the most heinous case, namely, a commitment for rape, the Grand Jury threw out the bill of indictment. On the civil side the business is about the usual quantity. Sixteen causes are entered, of which two are Special Juries. In three cases of actions of debt, on the statute of 2 Geo. 11., for bribery at the last election for this borough, the records were withdrawn. None of the cases on the Crowu side to-day were of public interest. CIVIL SIDE. S EDUCTION.-DUNHAM V. BATCHELOR. This was an action against the defendant, for seducing the daughter of the plaintiff, wherebf he lost her services. Mr. BRODRICK (with whom was Mr. Abra , ham) stated the plaintiff's case with considerable ability. Mr. Marryat was for the 'defendant- It appeared from the evidence of the daughter of the plaintiff, a young woman of prepossessing appearance, but whose demeanour under.exami4 nation was perfectly degagee, that her father was a bricklayer in respectable circumstances, reside ing at Wheathampstead, in this county, - She was about 23 years of age. About three years since, the defendant, a young man of the same age, by "business a journeyman baker, in the same village, paid honourable addresses to hers but to whom she had surrendered her chastity, and in the month of April last she was de livered of a child. Her father had paid the surgeon's bill, - and had since maintained , the child. She had three brothers and two sisters, The youngest of the latter was la years Of On her cross-examination she admtted that her eldest sister had had three children by a man to whom she was not married, and all of them were born under her fath er ' s roof. She als o admittec i that the defendant boarded in his maste,r's house/ and received Ws. per week. wages. Previous t e ' the birth of the child the defendant offered tc r pay 3/. for the expenses of the lying-in, and 2 5 . Od. a week for the maintenance of the child. The plaintiff agreed to these terms, but required tit defendant to procure the security of hi , . f a ther , To this the latter consented, and appointed a da: r to meet the plaintiff, but the defendant nev er -came pursuant to his appointment. Mr. MARRYAT, in his address to the ill' urged the topics which obViously• presented thew selves from the ci r c ums t ances prove d by thr' young woman, who was ,the only witness tO pre ve the case.
