111 E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. August 2. [MORNING POST.] The French Papers supply no fresh accoants from Smyrna or Constantinople, but seem to have turned all their attention towards the atti tude and movements' of Austria. On these indeed, much at this moment depends. If, as it hae been hitherto asserted, she has determined to make common cause with Russia in an attempt to drive the Turks out of Europe, and to establish an independent kingdom in Greece, her co-opera tion may be sufficient without the aid, nay, in opposition to the will of other powers (if there be any unchristian enough to oppose sttch a scheme) to ensure its execution and its success-. If, on the other hand, she withholds her assent, she is per haps the only State which can materially shackle the operations of Russia. It is not astonishing therefore that all the attention of the Continent should be turned towards her. What her conduct will be, appears to be still involved in considera ble obscurity, tho' the accounts received yesterday seemed to leave no doubt m of her determination to adopt, in conjunction with Russia, and we trust with ourselves and the rest of Europe, the same course which has proved so successful and bene ficial with respect to Naples. [BRITISH PRESS.] It seems that the intercourse between Baron Strogonoff at Constantinople and the Ottoman Government has not given cause of complaint to the Russian Ambassador alone, but that the Sul tan felt himself so much aggrieved by the conduct of the Baron as to render it expedient in his eyes to transmit a memorial upon the subject to the Court of St. Petersburgh. There are many who believe that the Porte has even deeper cause of complaint against the Russian Government, and that the present insurrection within the Ottoman Empire has been excited by the arts of Russia.— If this supposition were founded in truth or pro bability, why should the Russian army, panting as it is for service against the Turks, still linger upon the Turkish confines? or what is there to prevent the Emperor Alexander from fur nishing indirectly to the Insurgents such means of successfully resisting the power of the Porte as would in fact render it wholly unnecessary for him to appear implicated imme diately in a quarrel with his once formidable neighbour. had Russia not publicly disclaimed the early declarations of Ypsilanti, but satis fied herself with offering to the Porte private, though hypocritical assurances of neutrality, the army of the Christian insurgents in the provinces north of the Danube had not moul dered away so rapidly as it has done, nor would its adventurous Chief leave been reduced to the necessity of wandering without friends or follow-, ers in the territories of his enemy, or of vainly seeking from Austria a shelter from his pursuers. —There -can be no doubt that it has been in times not long distant the policy and constant practice of Russia to excite disturbances within the provinces of Turkey; but Alexander can not he insensible how much the relations that hind him to the other Powers of Europe are changed since those times to which we allude, and how impossible it would now be for him to pursue with safety or effect any designs of territorial aggrandizement which he might en tertain against the Ottoman Empire. He cannot suppose that the other Powers of Europe, which have so recently felt the mischief of an unwonted extent of power in France, and laboured to re press the evil, could now so far forget their own principles, and sacrifice their individual interests, as to suffer him now to pursue without check or hindrance a similar career of dangerous ambition ; his experience must likewise teach him how for midable is the united strength of those Powers, and that they are well capable of appreciating the benefits o!acting in concert. [THE TIMES.] • The talk about - reform and - retrenchment be comes every day more specific ; and if the public had not been often deceived by professions of this kind before, its confidence would, no doubt, be stronger. The reduction in the Army will, it is said, cut off 13,000 men ; and such a diminu tion has, it is asserted, received the King's appro bation. The species of force to be dispensed with is not mentioned. The reductions in the Ordnance department are said to be in train. Respecting those of the Navy, nothing certain is known. If we say that these measures are the result of necessity with Ministers, we must further explain what kind of necessity we mean. It is not exclusively and entirely the necessity which arises from the impoverished state of the na tion, and its inability to maintain the present rate of expenditure : such a necessity as this, though severe enough, would have been broken through, and the people yet further distressed. The necessity under which Ministers now act in their reductions is the necessity of obeying those whom they cannot lead; for, can any man show at:y just cause why the reductions, which it is' said are to take place next year, might not have been made in the present yea', last year, or the year before ? Indeed, we would not suggest motives for stopping the humane measures now said to be in the unwilling contemplation of Mi nisters ; but it is most remarkable, that after having maintained an immense military establish ment during six years of perfect peace, they are now forced to 'diminish it, at the very moment when fresh wars are menaced on the Continent ; and this is pecisely what we foretold—that if they continued gradually wearing the nation down by a vast army during peace, it would not be able to take or maintain its proper position among the States of Europe at the opening of fresh contests. We do not mean to say that we should ne cessarily intermingle ourselves in the disputes between Russia and Turkey, but it is obvious that we have a very important interest in the issue of those disputes ; and if Russia were not disposed to pay too great attention to our medi ation under any circumstances, with what con tempt will she receive it when she learns that we are so enfeebled by carrying on an expensive peace for six years, that we are obliged to lay down our army at the very moment when we want it most to give effect to our representations? Had our affairs been under the direction of such counsels as ordinarily conduct the affairs of states, we should, at the conclusion of the last peace, have placed our establishments upon a peace footing. The nation would have been relieved and at ease by this time. IMORNING CHRONICLE.] There is a long letter on the subject of the measure recently adopted by the Cortes of Por tugal, with respect to varioas persons who accom pani-ed his Majesty on his return from Brazil. With the reasons which induced the Cortes to adopt that measure we are unacquainted. That body had probably good grounds for believing that the individuals in question were determined enemies of the new order of things, and there fore adopted the measure with a view to the preservation of the peace of the country. Whe ther it was either wise or prudent to adopt it is another affair. We must always, however, bear in mind, that the task of the Cortes at the pre sent moment is far from an easy one. All those who are interested in the old system of abuses — all those who think that the welfare of the many should be sacrificed to the welfare of the few, are necessarily their enemies, and will take every opportunity of calumniating them. Of the spirit of the letter to which we have alluded, an idea may be formed from the following accusation:— " Instead of re-establishing the legitimate and ancient national representation of the kingdom, composed of the Nobility, Clergy, and the Re presentatives of the People, according to ancient usage and established laws, they forced a new sort of popular representation on the country on the 11th November last, by means of a military manoeuvre, without adopting for this very as semblage of the Representatives of the People a single form of our excellent national mode of convocation ; but on the contrary, the military directed and enjoined the people to choose their Representatives according to the Spanish mode of election, and to give them express powers to adopt the basis of the Spanish Constitution." The answer to this charge may be easily found. The leaders of the Portuguese Revolution did not chase to call the Cortes according to the ancient mode, be cause experience had afforded the best proof of the worthlessness of that mode, in the triumph which the Crown had so easily and so completely obtained over it ; and because their object was not an illusory representation, but such a one as should really speak the sentiments and wishes of the Portuguese nation. If their wish had been to consult the interests of the Nobles and the Clergy, instead of the interests of the whole nation, they would have clung to the old mode of representation.—That great abuses prevailed in Portugal before the Revolution is proved by the facility with which the Revo lution was effected ; for it may be laid down as certain, that to overturn an old established Go vernment, which is good for any thing, is, of all undertakings, the most difficult. When men en joy a tolerable portion of the advantages which a Government ought to secure to them, they will not easily be prevailed on to rise against it. To talk, therefore, of adhering to the established constitution and the established laws of a country, where the most shocking abuses of all kinds pre vailed, is, to say the least of it, grossly absurd. [NEW TIMES.] Notwithstanding the positive assertions that Russia had declared war against the Porte, and that a joint Manifesto of Austria and Russia, re lative to the affairs of Turkey, had already been signed", we believe that nothing of the kind is yet determined upon. The Austrian 0 bserver,it is well known, speaks the sentiments of the Cabinet of Vienna with something approaching to official ac curacy ; but that Paper has not given any hint from hich the inclination of the Austrian Government to support the Greeks can be reasonably inferred. —lt may be doubted whether the Emperor Alex ander has any desire for the mere conquest of European Turkey, but he probably participates in a great degree the deiire common to all Chris tian Potentates to put an end to the barbarous oppressions exercised on the Greeks by their ferocious tyrants. The Emperor of Russia is naturally looked up to as the chief patron of the Greek religion, and his subjects, who are bigot tedly attached to that communion, would con sider a war for its re-establishment as sacred. Still lie must be well aware that the other European powers could not, and would not look on tamely, while Russia made her self mistress of Constantinople.—W e now begin to experience some of the evils of that senseless clamour for retrenchment, right or wrong, which has been kept up for the last six months. Ministers have, in our opinion, injudi ciously suffered themselves to be dictated to by faction and ignorance; and our army is about to be reduced at the very moment when we want an imposing force to support our negociations. If the Emperor Alexander be actuated, as some suppose he is, by a wish to destroy the balance of power, his most efficient ally, in this nefarious scheme, will have been Hume the Surgeon. [MORNING HERALD.] We have received many communications rela tive to what took place at the Old Bailey on Wednesday in the last week, between the London Jury and the presiding Judge. A most serious impression has, we have no doubt, been made upon the public mind by the publication of the appeal of ten of the Jury, de precating, as a matter of humanity, and as a balm to their feelings, the infliction of the punishment of death upon those against whom verdicts of death had been returned by them. The refusal of the City Officer who presided to hear the apiial of the Jury, and his rebuke to the Foreman has also excited a strong sensation. Has an English Jury no right to make an appeal to the Royal mercy of the King in Council through the Court ? Do they not con stantly exercise this right ?—ln individual cases, it is true. But if in individual cases, each in suc- L cession, why should they not have the right of irn ploring the Royal mercy for the sum of those eases (which is exactly the same thing) at the closing of their functions as Jurymen ? The grounds of their appeal are equally within the or dinary practice of Jurymen—the absence of mark ed atrocity, and the dreadful severity of the punishment. But the Common Serjeant is re ported to have told the Jury (we by no means pledge ourselves for the fidelity of the report, which we copied from another Paper) that they had nothing to do with the punishment which the law awards. We shall not take it upon us to discuss or even to question this dictum of " the Court;'' but we would turn round and ask any person who has the least acquaintance with the character and humanity of our jurisprudence in penal matters, whether an English Jury is re garded as a mere mindless, heartless machine, which shall simply present a verdict of technical guilt or innocence, without regarding the colour of the offence or the nature of the punishment ? Have we not frequent instances of the Court and the Jury conspiring to sophisticate common rea son and conscience, by depreciating property, in order to evade the blood-written provisions of the Statute? AIR BALLOON. SECOND ASCENT OF MR. GREEN.—This Gen tleman, who, it will be recollected, made his first aeronautic excursion from the Green-park on the day of his Majesty's Coronation, gratified the public with a second ascent yesterday. The place chosen for the departure of the balloon on this occasion was the Belvidere Tea-gardens, Pentonville. These gardens were fitted up in good style for the accommodation of such as wished to see the inflation of the balloon, and who chose to pay five shillings for the gratifica tion of their curiosity. The numbers in attend ance within the gardens were considerable. — The crowd in the adjacent grounds, streets, and avenues, from which a view could be commanded, was one of the greatest which we have witnessed for some time. One o'clock was generally un derstood as the hour at which the balloon would be let off ; and long before that hour every avenue and eminence in the vicinity of the gar dens were quite thronged with spectators of all classes and descriptions. The road in front of the garden was literally choaked up with ha rouches, glass and hackney-coaches, waggons, and carts of all sorts, whose owners profited very considerably by the anxious desire of hun dreds to witness the ascent, without danger of pressure from the crowd. Sums from 6d. to 2s. were paid for seats in and upon these vehicles, according to their proximity to, or distance from, the scene of action. The_ filling of the balloon began at an early hour, and it was (as it appear ed to us) sufficiently inflated by a little after two. The gas used on this occasion was the common carburetted hydrogen (that used in lighting the streets). Before the filling was complete, a small pilot balloon was let off: it took a direction east by north, and was soon out of sight. Soon after this, two carrier pigeons were thrown up, each with a paper fastened to it. They went off in nearly the same direction as the pilot balloon ; but their particular destination, or the object of their mission, we did not learn. About half an hour before Mr. Green got into the car, a second pilot balloon was sent up. It took a direction a little more to the east than the former. At about half past 3 the car having been fixed, and every thing ready, Mr. Green stepped into it, apparently in excellent spirits, and with the manifest confidence of a man who perfectly un derstood the management of the precarious ve hicle to which it was appended. It was an nounced in the bills that Mr. Green was to be ac companied in his aerial voyage by his friend Mr. Handy ; that gentleman, however, did not go up. The cause, as we were informed, was a kind of nervous affection, with which he was seized yes terday morning, and which induced him to decline the daring attempt. As soon as Mr. Green had arranged himself in the car, the cords were cut away, and the balloon rose in a grand and ma jestic manner, amidst the shouts of the almost countless multitude. The ascent was not so rapid, nor accompanied with such a swinging motion of the car, as we noticed on the last oc casion. Mr. Green stood in the car as it rose, and kept waving his flag for a very considerable time. The direction of the balloon was more easterly (as it appeared to us) than either of the pilot balloons. The rapidity of its motion in creased considerably as it rose, until it came to a height in which its apparent size was dimi nished about two thirds. It then appeared quite stationary for some seconds. The intrepid aero naut, however, soon accelerated its motion by throwing out two bags of sand. The descent of the sand was quite visible, and appeared in the rays of the sun like white smoke. The balloon continued to ascend rapidly for a few seconds longer, - when its motion became sud denly altered, and it seemed as if it had got into a current of air, driving from east to west. We were prevented from ascertaining correctly whe ther this was the fact, by the entrance of time bal loon into a dense cloud ,which completely obscured it from our view, nor was it again seen by any who remained in the vicinity from which it ascended. IVe were told that it was the intention of Mr. Green to descend, if circumstances permitted, at some place iu Essex ; and that he expected to be able to return to town last night, in sufficient time to join a party of friends at supper.—The balloon descended at Barking, within half an hour after its ascent. No accident happened either to Mr. Green or his aerial vehicle. — (Morning Paper.) FATAL ACCIDENT.--Yesterday an accident, which was likely to have been attended with the loss of several lives, oc curred near the Belvidere, Pentonville. A number of persons of both sexes, who had assembled to witness the ascension of the balloon, climed on a low wall topped with iron railing, sur rounding the lawn in front of a gentleman's house, for the purpose of elevating themselves above those on the ground, when the railing not being sufficient to resist the heavy weight of those attached to it, about twenty yards of it gave way, toge ther with part of the wall, bearing all before it into the street.— Several were severely hurt, and many had either a leg or arm broken ; but the most serious case of all was that of a fine boy about eight years of age, who was killed on the spot by a large portion of the stone pillar of the gate falling on his head, which crushed it to a mummy. BREACH OF PROMISE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DUBLIN, JULY 25. CA ILA V. 314NA3IARA. The Jury having been sworn, Mr. DOHERTY, the Counsel for the plaintiff, applied to the Court to have the witnesses both, for plaintiff and de fendant removed. .Lists were then exchanged, and the witnesses having left the Court— Mr. CRAMPTON opened the pleadings. This was an action of assumpsit for breach of marriage promise. The Defendant, in the month of Octo ber, 1815, promised to marry Harriet Caila, on request. The plaintiff remained single. There were other counts varying as to form, and there was another class of counts which stated, that de fendant had promised, at some future period, to marry the plaintiff on request, or, if he failed so to do, to pay her the sum of 5,0001. The de fendant had since married another lady. The damages were laid at 5,000/. and the defendant pleaded the general issue, that he did not make the promise. Mr. DOHERTY then rose and addressed the Jury to the following effect Gentlemen of the Jury,—ln this case, by a combination of events, it is my duty, as senior Counsel for the plaintiff, to state the case to you. It is impossible for me, Gentlemen, to express my deep regret at the circumstances which have placed me in this situation, and I feel that it would be im possible that any efforts of mine could compensate my client for the irreparable loss she has sustained, in being deprived of the able, zealous, and eloquent advocate who pleaded her cause on the former trial. Gentlemen, I have not arro gantly sought for this distinction ; the Gentleman who stated the case on the former trial was placed in a situation of pe culiar delicacy : he has wrongs of his own against the de fendant, and feeling that an advocate should forget himself in his duty to his client, leaving all individual feeling out side the threshold of the Court, he has honourably declined being concerned in the present case. Gentlemen, if it would be arrogant in me to seek the distinction of the situa tion in which I am thus placed, perhaps it would be pusillani mous to decline it. Gentlemen of the Jury, you will, I trust, bear with me, should I be tedious. You are, one and all, the advocate of my client, and though I may not cope in talent with those Gentlemen v, ho are arrayed against me, yet it would seem that something more was requisite ; it would appear that something of corporeal power, some portion of bodily strength, was also necessary in the Counsel who would undertake my client's case.—Gen. tlemen, I must just tell you that the verdict lately obtain ed in this case was set aside on grounds merely legal, with which you have nothing to do ; and I tell you, under the correction of the Court,_ that the setting aside of that verdict does not, in the slightest degree, affect the merits of the case. There is no part of the manner in which defen dant's Counsel are about to conduct this defence that I ad mire more than the dexterity with which' they have arranged the case. The light troops, Messrs. North and Woulfe, are placed in front, but, ere long, reinforcements will be pouring in, and you will see the Prussians bearing down, but not, I trust, in victory—Were Mr. O'Connell, Counsel for the defendant, entered the Courtd—You see, Gentlemen, it is as I predicted—reinforcements are already coming in.— (Laughter.)—Gentlemen, in the year 1806, when very young, my client married Mr. Peter Caila, who died in the year 1809 ; they resided at their house, No. 16, George-street, Bryanston square, London. Mrs. Caila subsequently let that house, and took another in the same street; she expended .4:1,500 in fur nishing the house she had left; Lady Carrick was her tenant in it, and afterwards Lord and Lady Roden. In the year 1811, the plaintiff was first introduced to Mr. -M‘Namara, who, I understand, is a gentleman from a remote part of this country, and of a most respectable family ; he was at, the time a Lieutenant or Captain in the Tower Hamlets Militia. A friend of Mrs. Caila bought some of her furniture, and was accom panied to her (plaintiff's) house by the defendant. Gentlemen, from that moment he " Had marked her for his own ;", he followed her like a shadow ; and though his attentions were not so pointed as to alarm, yet they were not so vague as to be misunderstood. He called frequently at her house and she gave directions to her serv a nt to be denied to him : this will be proved to you by the servant who will be produced. Still he persevered with unremitting assiduity, until at last he became the master of her person. Gentlemen, I shall pass over his vows, his attestations, his promises of immediate marriage ; I admit that, " She listen'd, she believ'd, and fell!" Fertile in excuses, he wielded his oft-repeated promises to lull her into security ; he knew she had the means of sup porting him—she had three hundred pounds a year herself, and there were five thousand pounds settled on her child. —The defendant was not possissed of a single shilling ; he was continually in pecuniary embarrassments, as will be proved by his own letters ; he was a beggar in circum stances ; and if his Counsel are now instructed to say, as on a former occasion, that she was his kept mistress, shall I not fling back the accusation, and tell this beggar, that he who could not keep himself could not keep another ? In one of his letters from Bath, in the year 1813, addressed.to my client, and directed Mrs. 111‘Namara, he says, that .he, is " obliged to quit Bath, being- unable to 'bity mourning." Gentlemep, Mrs. Caila's child died in the year 1814, and her death was the occasion of my client's return from France, where she was then living with- the defendant. On the former trial, the only witness produced on the part of the plaintiff, Caroline Exton, underwent a most severe and long continued cross-examination, by one of the ablest Counsel at the Bar, without any thing flaying transpired that could in the slightest degree impeach the testimony she gave., Her cross examination commenced on the 9th of December, and con cluded on the 11th; for a day and a half she sat on that chair, not only exposed to every question which the ingenuity of that able Counsel could put to her, but also exposed to the brow beating looks of the defendant himself, who sat directly oppo site to her, his eye fixed steadily upon her. From the year 1813 to the year 1817, he sent his love to her (the witness) in every letter—he knew her every thought. She gave her evi dence calmly and collectedly to the last, and the Jury, believing the evidence she gave, returned a verdict of 2,0001. for her mistress.—Gentlemen, I shall now read a few pagsages from some of the defendant's letters.—[The Learned Counsel here read some of the defendant's letters.]—lle tells her, Gen tlemen, that " there is a breeches of his in pledge for nine shillings, and begs of her to have them secured, as the 18th would be the last day."—(Laughter.)—Gentlemen, he is in debted to my client on the score of these breeches, for though she did release them for him, it does not appear that she ever made any use of them herself ; and this, even in married life, 1 believe, is not always the case. For myself, I shall only say, that " When to ease this load of life, Of private care and public strife, Indulgent Heav'n grants me a wife, I'll ask nor wealth nor riches ; Temper alone is all I'll pray, Temper like hers, serene and gay, One who, like her, will give away, Not wear herself, THE BREECHES ! " (Loud laughter.)—ln his letter from Dieppe, he tells her, "he has not one shilling ;" and in another part he says, he got 18 francs (15 shillings English) for some pears that he sold, be ing some of the fruit which grew in the garden. The Tower Hamlets militia was at one time ordered on active service, that is, they had to march from, London to Bath—(Laughter)—and while my client sat the victim of corroding care, the defendant writes her a detailed account of the great perils which lie en countered, before he succeeded in getting possession of the inn; he does not state what loss was sustained, but he particularly. mentions his having been exposed for some hours to a heavy shower—of rain—which penetrated through three coats.—(Great laughter.)—lt reminds me, Gentlemen, of Major Sturgeon's account of the forced march of Lieutenant Tripe and Ensign Pattypan from Hounslow to London. According to Mr. Grady's delineation of character, Gentlemen, the defendant is a mild, gentle, and amiable young man, who had taken out his degree in the University. This mild, gentle, and amiable young man, who took out his degree in the University, writes thus to the plaintiff in one of his letters :- 4 , and I had a bit of a row ; he was bragging of his money, and of the Lords and Dukes that visited at his house ; I said I could see none of them when he was dining on the baked meats at the terrace ; he then got into a passion, and I quietly knocked him down." Gentlemen, this is the mild young man ; but then he quietly knocked him down ! The letter goes on to say, that the Gen tleman whom he quietly knocked down stated the circum stance to the Commanding Officer, and this he termed cowardly conduct. 1 know not, Gentlemen, how far our notions may be raised up 14 the chivalrous ideas connected with champions and gloves, that we have lately read so much of, but I protest I do not know what other line of conduct a Gentleman could pursue under such circumstances. On the defendant's return to Ireland, his father asked him how he contrived to live without money ? His father was the ' best authority on the subject, and he knew that he was a beg gar. In his letter to the plaintiff, dated 20:1 - 1 of June, 1817, he says he can never forget her to Whotn he owes so much. In that letter is this remaikable passage: " Rest assured that I will keep sacred all my promises." Gentlemen, he Kept the word of promise to her ear, but broke it to her hope." Mr. Grady, of whom I cannot speak too highly, took the lead in the defence of the former trial ; he was assisted, however, by the defendant himself, who sat in l ourt, and ultimately took the helm ; the envenomed shafts were supplied fresh from his quiver, or if not supplied by him, he sat yonder, looking on, malignant, and approving whilst they fleet/ fast and thick. The witness was asked if her mistress was old and ugly I cannot forget her answer ; she said, " her mistress did not look so well as when the Captain first saw her, for that since then she was sadly altered." She might have said, with Lucy, in the Beggar's Opera, " It is always the pleasure of you, fine Gen- • tlemen, to insult the women you have ruined." In the de- - fence to the former action there was a number of names intro duced ; we had the Duke of Northumberland and Jerry Ryan; the Marquis of Headfort and the Bootmaker ; we had also a name that, Gentlemen, you would scarcely have expected to be alluded to by the defendant, I mean the Earl of Chesterfield-- (Laughter.) - -The plaintiff has been termed a strumpet, a har lot. Gentlemen, no wife ever behaved with greater affection ; she attended this defendant in his illness, and never took the clothes off her back for three weeks : she clung to him faith- , fully ; she loved, honoured, and obeyed him in sickness and in health ; and when he had recovered, and was leaving her, she equipped him, and supplied him with the means of proceeding on his journey. The plaintiff having heard that he was contracted in marriage at Fermoy, acting under the advice of Major Hawker, proceeded to Ireland, accompanied by that gentleman. On ar riving there the plaintiff having learned that the defendant had set out for his father's, in a remote part of Ireland, she mnediately returned. The defendant, however, was afterwards' -. arried to a Mrs. Payton, a widow lady. I introduce the nanii; 6 this Lady with extreme synipathy for her stiffering, arid 1 believe her to be a Gentlewoman, by her birth and habits. It will be recollected, however, that " Sly Cupid sometimes takes his stand Upon a widow's jointure land." Mrs. Payton, Gentlemen, had an income of 1,2001. a year; the plaintiff had but XOOl. a year ; so that if the defendant'S Cupid had not stumbled on four times the sum, perhaps hE might not have changed one widow for the other; at all ev ents , there was nine hundred pounds a-year additional, and if the worst came to the worst, the difference would more than pay t° e penalty, even if a verdict were returned for the full amount °f , the damages laid. Gentlemen, my client, broken h ea rted ar?,': ruined as she has been, was offered a compromise ; hut she v/ 1 ", not accept of terms. Those who were her friends before, shu n her, until her character is established. The offer that has bee n .. made to her, though small, would be likely to be more c ertain than any verdict you may give her; but it is her ch a racter th e she is most anxious to retrieve. It might not be a bad defel e for the opposite Counsel to say, that she su s tain e d no loss losing him as a husband. She who h a s s ince h a d him as i. 3 husband, has him not as a companion—he is now a tiigitive<, How proud our University must be in having assisted in 1 , 1 education yet he seemed destined to graduate in another iti n tu of seminary. It would have been a great pity that his you should have been spent in academic seclusion— " For him to be buried in Greek, The thought puts me quite in a passion ; Would Herodotus teach him to speak Pretty things to our women of fashion ? Our women, I'm told, too, agree That they could not refuse him their hearts, And with only a kiss for their fee, They'd proclaim him a Master of Arts !" Gentlemen, Mr. Grady attempt e d to i m p eac h the char; ter of the plaintiff, and compl e t e ly f ai l e d i n th a t atter o o r For 5 long years the defendant ate of h er b rea d, a nd drank 0: her cup ; he lay in her bosom, and sh e was u nt o him even a s n e, wife. After having a v a il e d hi mse lf o f h er h ouse an d forte h e for the greater part of 7 years ; after a lapse of that tim e 'his deserts her, and the reason assigned for this desertion by ld Counsel on the former occasion was, that woman who ° t he misspel the word sheet (the plaintiff' having, in a letter to at ... defendant, put a final r to it), was not worthy of being ainn, de, • ed with one of the M 'Namara's. But, Gentlemen, of wh 3 ' in' the ri e p o tion e i r s s t i h ty e ? lan l g n u a o g n e e of of thhiast letters, Gentleman he says,m-Io was bred, pair of breeches of mine in pledge for nine Ihilling:;' t ' hienr b e T i t , n o °- 1 tiler we have this elegant expression, ‘, an d ) had 8 .. t be a row."

That verdict, it appears , did amount t 0 'a prohibition, for how seldom do we hear of an ac tion of ..1?, kind being tried in Dublin !
