J.JUSTICE TO IRELAND! At a .MEETING held at Cleveland-row, Monday, Feb ruary 19, 1844, Resolved — That the conduct of the present Government towards Ireland, In Its general policy, and particularly in connection with the late trial of Daniel O'Connell and his fellow-traversers, deserves and demands the most severe reprobation. That equal laws and equal privileges—freedom of discussion—meet ing together to proclaim grievances—agitation by peaceable and legal means—and fair trial by jury —are the birthrights of every subject of the United Kingdom. That the powers brought to bear against these rights in Ireland, although directed against Mr. O'Connell, are equally adverse to the rights of Englishmen. That, in order to show the sympathy of Englishmen with Irish men, and the admiration entertained in this conntry for the co/latent and consistent advocate of the rights and privileges of Irishmen during the last forty years, a public dinner be given to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P. That Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, Esq., M.P., be requested to preside on the occasion. JAMES COPPOCK, Hon. Secretary - • Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols postB%•., CHII. As .

In the Lords the " Gaming Transactions Wit nesses' Indemnity Bill," was read a third time and passed. The Law of Libel Bill, on the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, was read a second time and referred to a Committee. No other business was done, and the House adjourned till Thursday. In the Commons several Railway Bills were brought up and read a first time. The Manchester and Ros ' sendale Railway Bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed. Lord PALMERSTON postponed his motion on the Right of Search till this day fortnight. • On the motion of Mr. WATSON, a number of re turns relative to the Courts of Common Pleas and Chancery of the County Palatine of Lancaster were ordered. _ _ Mr. HUME moved for a Select Committee to in quire into the extent of smuggling in articles that paid a high duty, and into various malversations con nected with the Custom-house, and the expenses in curred for the protection of the Customs' revenue. Lord SOMERSET suggested that the motion, for the present, should be postponed ; and, as far as we can judge from the report, Mr. HUME acquiesced. -In answer to a question from Mr. HUME, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Post office authorities were in communication with those of the United States, for the purpose of adopting re eiprocal Post-office regulations between the two countries. .Mr. HAWES resumed the adjourned debate on the state of Ireland. His speech very properly was almost entirely directed to the Established Church of Ireland. To that he attributed most of her grievances. The' No Popery" cry could not now be raised. The Protestant Dissenters had formerly been opposed to the Catholics, because the Catholics were opposed to civil liberty. Now the case was different. The Catholics supported the principle of civil liberty, and they would have the Dissenters with them. He added, if the payment of the Catholic priesthood should be proposed as part of a great plan for tranquillising Ireland, if it were joined with a mea sure for the extension of the franchise, then he would sacrifice his pre-conceived opinions, and support such a measure. All the old evils of Ireland were sure to find fresh nourishment, to receive permanency and strength, from the maintenance of the Irish Established Church. The contest was between religious liberty and religious intolerance, and he had no fear as to the result; but, in the meantime, the nation was weakened by these unseemly struggles, and the enemies of this great country were looking on with hope, when they saw England weakened by the misgovernment of Ireland. Lord CLitvDE HAMILTON followed, and made a characteristic Tory speech about the trial of the tra versers, Father Manizw, and the peaceable state of Ulster compared with Tipperary. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MOANING, FEBRtTAlair 21, 1644 The O'CoNoR DoN supported Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion, and expressed his conviction that if the , House enterefl on the state of Ireland in the proper spirit, the condition of that country would be speedily im proved. The principal speakers of the evening were Mr. GISBORNE, Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, and Sir T. WILDE, to whose speech we direct particular attention. The debate was again adjourned, and the House rose at a Quarter to Three o'Clock. Mr. MACAULAYS speech on Monday in the House of Commons on the question of Ireland is one of the most masterly—the most triumphant displays of min gled argument and eloquence that even he has ever made. Tracing the sad and dark history of Irish oppression from the earliest periods down to the pre sent day, he showed, beyond the power of refutation, how much just cause of complaint the sister-country has had for centuries against England ; and how little has been done by the PEEL Ministry—compared with what ought to have been done—for the last three or four years, to redress her undeniable grievances. " As to your executive measures," said the Right Hon. Gentleman, with indignant emphasis, " they are all of the same sort—an increase of the number of soldiers, and the erection of barracks." These, we may just remark by the way, were always fa vourite expedients of the Tories—their panacea for all sorts of national evils. Did the people, goaded by famine and desperation, make loud and fierce complaints against the Government, and demand, as a matter of constitutional right, the at tention of Parliament to their case—the only satis faction they got from the Tory rulers of the day, was a large increase of the standing army ? Did they hold energetic public meetings, and express them selves at those meetings in a manner more remarkable for its strength than its complaisance, they were re warded for their frank, plain-speaking by a barrack be ing instantly run up in every district where the people had most distinguished themselves by their impassioned sincerity ? No matter what might be the grievance, the remedy was invariably the same. As Doctor SANGRADO treated all maladies alike—and whether his patients were old or young—consumptive or plethoric—sanguine or hypochondriacal—gouty or dyspeptic—put them all through a vigorous course of bleeding and hot water; so our sapient Tory rulers never resorted to any other remedial process than that of an increase of soldiers and a multiplication of bar racks. And just as they acted years ago, they still continue to act—at least as regards Ireland. She complains of misgovernment, and by way of doing away with her cause of complaint, the Irish Executive accommodates her with a vast increase of troops, repairs all the old, useless forts on the banks of the Shannon, claps an extra sentinel at the Castle gates, and sends a military force, without their dinner, on a hurried expedition to Waterford! And thus acting, our sagacious rulers conceive that they are laying the foundations of just and enlightened go vernment in the sister-country ! Was ever folly— was ever infatuation equal to this ? Is it a Sir ROBERT PEEL, or is it a doting purblind old woman that is at the head of affairs ? We confess we are somewhat puzzled to answer this question. The " voice is the voice of JACOB, but the hands are the hands of ESAU." Mr. MACAULAY went on to remark—" And now for your future measures. With respect to your legisla tive ones, it is true you propose a Bill for the registra tion of Irish voters, coupled with an increase of the franchise. But what the provisions of that measure are, we cannot as yet foresee ; all we do know is, that the subject is one on which it is impossible for you to legis late at once with credit toyourselves and with benefit to the public ; all that we can say with confidence is, that the measure must either be destructive to the re- I presentative principle in Ireland, or to the remnant of your own character." This phrase " remnant" is very felicitously applied. It is indeed but a " rem nant"—and that a miserably meagre and tattered one —that Ministers have left of character. And yet Sir ROBERT PEEL once took pride to himself in the House of Commons, for being " Clothed in the mantle of his own integrity!" We should be sorry to hear of him walking down Parliament-street clothed in no more substantial raiment, for' his appearance, under such " untoward" circumstances would approximate rather too closely to that of ADAM before the Fall, when he walked abroad in all the beauty of unsophis ticated nature. Mr. MACAULAY closed by far the most eloquent and impressive speech that has been delivered this session, by some allusions to the Pro testant Church Establishment in Ireland w hich were conspicuous not less by their point and cogency, than by the sincere, manly, and enlightened spirit that per vaded them. By the New York packet-ship Sheridan we have received a report of the proceedings in the Senate, on the 24th ult., in relation to a discussion incidentally connected with the resolution proposed by a Mr. SEMPLE, " to give Great Britain notice that the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory shall terminate in twelve months." The special debate of the 24th ult., in Committee of•the whole House, on the state of the Union," was on the resumed consideration of a report made on the previous day from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, by a Mr. INGEasoLL, " declaring it inexpedient for Congress at this time to act in any manner on the subject." Any exhibition more un becoming the dignity of a deliberative body —any expositions of principles more politically dishonest— any aspirations at statesmanship more profoundly contemptible than those elicited on this occasion, we have never been called on to depmecate. The " Ore gon" is a question upon which if seems a canon of Yankee patriotism that every good citizen of the United States is hound to clement himself without loss of time. It appears to be the touchstone of their democratic nationality—the Shibboleth to determine the purity of their jealous A uglophobia. In ap roaching- it, the plain, matter-of-fact man of business, and the ambitious high-flying republican, equally lose sight of all outlying considerations touching the relations of their country with ours, ami the relative authority, rank, and power of the two nations, on the result of any comparison which can be instituted be. tween them. They will challenge that comparison spontaneously, and the amusing result they arrive at is, that it is greatly in favour of their own federal strength and grandeur The very terms of a notice to such a Power as Great Britain, that the joint oc cupation of a certain territory by her subjects and those of the United States, "shall terminate in twelve months"—implying, of course, that the intentions or views of Great Britain in such a matter would not avail for one moment against the simple decree of Mr. SEMPLE and his party—are a whimsical text enough for any commentary. And, to be sure, this absurdity was drawn out into some exquisite fooling in the speeches of the Mr. OWEN and Mr. WENTWORTH, who followed. But all the excitement and vanity, the vaporing and folly (at which we cannot but laugh in spite of our better judgment, on account of their grotesque extravagances), do not conceal, and are not even intended to conceal, the rancorous hatred, the vindictive envy, the snarling malice, with which these noisy " legislators" regard the " supreme among the nations," from whence, —after a fashion—their own people and institutions have descended. Here we have, for example, Mr. OWEN moving, by way of amendment, the expediency of Congress 4‘ now" acting in the matter. He is pleased to assume, when reminded that our Minister, Mr. PACKENHAM, charged with the duty of treating on this subject, had not yet arrived out in America, " that no benefit could reasonably be expected to result to that country from negation ;"—an instructive specimen of legislative candour, and of a dispassionate disposition to examine the question in all its bearings with a statesmanlike absence of prepos session ! But he is not unprepared to meet the diffi culties that may arise out of such a course ;—not he ! " If," said he, "to give notice to Great Britain that she could no longer occupy with us the valley of the Columbia—if that were a cause of war, then war must come ; it might come sooner, it might come later ; but come it must at last." And this sentiment is so present throughout the whole of the exhibition made by Messrs. OWEN and WENTWORTH, that we are compelled to notice and reply to it. But let us first note a little more the bellicose music of Mr. OWEN s penny trumpet. asked how England world check the emigra tHioanving to Oregon ; whether she proposes to build along the summit of the rocky mountain range " a Chinese wall of demarcation," (!) and whether she will say to the spirits of the western wilderness (i. e. the intending squatters), " thus far shall you go, and no further ; his impetuous oratory overleaps his Anglo.Chinese-American masonry, and the heads of his western wilderness worthies, at a bound. Under a grand melo-dramatic access of sublimely confused imagery, the wall changes successively into a moun tain eagle, a Sioux pony, and a wild goose , ! Such, at least, is our translation of what probably may be current in the-Union for genuine " States paper" oratory; but which, " on this side the Atlantic," as well as "of the Pacific" (to borrow Mr. OWEN'S phraseology), would be rejected by our schoolboys, for the most worthless and noisy twaddle ever at tempted to be palmed upon a credulous public : When They could control the mountain eagle in his upward course to the sun - ; when they could check the wild horse of the prairie in his impetuous career ; when they could quench in the bird of passage that instinct which bids her up and away, then they might expect to set mete or bound to the spirits of the West this side of the Pacific." - Certainly, if these wilderness gentlemen can be negotiated with only by parties qualified to fulfil such conditions, Lord ABERDEES must lose no time in securing the taming powers of Mr. CROSS and Mr. VAN AMBUROFf. And even then, the difficulties to be encountered would not be mastered. It seems that " a leading London journal (not a Ministerial organ, however), had lately asserted that England was re solved to arm the Indian tribes in her cause." Where upon, exclaims the speaker— Let that threat be carried into effect. Let those Indians be armed, let the first blood follow the blow of the tomahawk, and would the people wait their tardy legislation before they rushed to the rescue ? Let the news of a massacre on the banks of the Columbia pass over our land, and their armed occupation' project for the protection of Oregon would be but au idle form. It soon would be occupied—an armed occupation, too. By whom ?" Aye ! Now for it. The description is harrowing. But first, like the most skilful orators of antiquity, he tells us whom the dragon's-teeth crop will not fructify "They will not be smooth-chinned, nicely trimmed, and unitormed cadets from West Point." Alas for West Point ! Its little band of smooth chinned cadets are not destined to give it immortality ! That lot is reserved for certain stalwart old baak woodsmen of "rather" unsettled habits; and for a goodly company of young fellows with similar va grant propensities, who must be, moreover, " Mor monites." For Mr. OWEN will not let them pass for "fierce young hunters," only, "with musket and belt," but he tells us they are also hunt ing up, like the new sectaries, the mystic celebrities of. the Old Testament. They are " Nimrod hunters." Now if Nimrod was " A mighty hunter, for his game was man," how much more intense must be the sport of these squatters Who are hunting NIMROD ! But by veteran pioneers--,--men from whom old age, though ' it whitened their locks, could not steal their strength and fire ; by fierce young hunters, who had heard the war-whoop in their cradles, and who burned to avenge the death of their fathers ; by parties of Nimrod hunters, who, with their belt on their arm and their musket on the shoulder feared nothing, white or Otck, in the' shape of man." At the close of this balderdash we find a iNtr..C. J. INGERSOLL teinforcing the eulogium of these won drous people, " fearing nothing white or black in the shape of man," by ejaculating " (in his seat)—nor of woman either." Whether this specimen of Yankee chivalry was intendel as of general application to the sex, or more personally to the authority and station of an Illustrious Lady, we are not competent to de cide. In either case its delicacy and spirit are charm ing. But we cannot afford further space for such truculent nonsense : though this bit, in which Mr WENTwoRTH is made the expounder of the intentions of Providence, is too rich to be wholly omitted :- 0 No ! England had taken her last inch on this conti nent ; in future, instead of gaining more, she might lose what she had. She might think to get California, but it was all a vain delusion. God (according to Mr. W.) had never made America to be the slave of Great Bri tain ; her last foot of territory was Canada, and that would go by and by." And again : _ " All he wished was, that she would but once try to get Oregon, and set on her Indians upon our settlers. She might meet with success for the first few years, but there would come rushing over the rocky mountains such a force as would drive her into the sea. Some other Jackson would arise to defend the mouth of the Oregon, as the first had defended the mouth of the Mis sissippi." _ _ _ Tl - as last sentence, we believe, supplies the key to the Incessant tendency against which we have so often to protest, of too many American legislators, civilians, officers of both services, and editors of public journals, to indulge in their offensive vitupe ration of Great Britain, . and their own still more offensive self-glorification. They persuade them selves, because of the disgraceful misconduct or in capacity of some British commanding officers at the affair of New Orleans, and the easy results which their General JACKSON was allowed to realise of that day of disastrous blundering, that laurels, thick as bilberries, will fall to their share in any and every future encounter with "the Britishers." They should know better ; and if the war for which they so in solently clamour do break out, we venture to predict they will be taught better. It would not even require the veteran and disciplined troops of our regular army to read them this lesson. The Canadian Militia discomfited in a few hours hundreds of American military adventurers, who crossed the border with a reputation formidable as that which the American papers gave to their sympathizer-general VAN RENSELAER ; and returned, after feats and defeats of equal calibre with those of that wondrous Bobadil. But there is a party in the United States who seem determined to provoke a war—with our naval superio rity too ! The defenceless seaboard of the United States, the exposed frontier of their great trading capitals, the dismantled condition of their forts, would give them pleasant odds in a contest which should sub ject them to the visits of our steam-navy ! Let the United States undertake a war with Great Britain, and it would require a century to retrieve the de struction of property, force and materiel, which, in a single year, we should have visited on their coasts from New York to the mouths of the Mississippi. Most of the Paris papers publish the intelligence brought by a merchant vessel from the Pacific, an nouncing the deposition of Queen PoMARE, and the occupation of Tahiti by Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS. The news which appeared in The Sun on Monday, is generally believed at Paris, and also generally ap proved of. Indeed, 110 other result could be expected. It is the natural course of events. The savage race is invariably overpowered by the civilised, or, as in North America, retires like the wild beasts of the field on the approach of man. The Journal des Debats gives a long account of the affair in a letter from a correspondent of the name of GOSSE. This writer evidently attributes the quarrel to the intrigues of Air. PRITCHARD, the missionary, and the jealousy of England ; but beyond the fact of the occupation of the country, his remarks are entitled to little credit. The letter concludes in the following pompous style : l c " Queen Pomare has ceased to rei and we now stand on French soil. The flag of the FA h ' consulate was imme diately struck. A large number atives had assembled before the residence of Mr. Pritchard, who was haranguing them with great vehemence ; his exhortations did not, how ever, appear to have much success. In the evening the town had resumed its usual tranquillity ; the men smoked their cigars with the same carelessness, and the women grinned and showed their white teeth, as hough they had not in the mottling been present at a revolution. The Governor- General was installed on the Bth, and proclaimed the Council of the Government, which was composed of M. D'Aubigny, captain of the corvette, Lieut. Clon, and M. Moerenhout, ex- Conul of France. A proclamation, addressed to the inhabi tants, assured them security for their persons and their pro perty, and the free exercise of their religious worship. Papaiti is declared a free port ; no anchorage dues will be claimed, nor any custom-house duties ; pilot dues will alone be demanded. The French flag floats over this fine country, which reminfls one of the poetic descriptions of Bongainville. ' The Paris journals contain no news from Madrid, and indeed for some time no intelligence from that quarter worthy of credit may be looked for, as the Spanish Government has stopped all the private cor respondence with the Liberal papers. The French funds remained stationary, the Three per Cents. being quoted on Sunday at 82f. 40c. DODD'S PARLIAMENTARY COMPANION.-Mr. Dodd, so well known for his useful information on subjects connected with the two Houses of Parliament, has just brought out a new edition of this work. It con tains in my emendations and improvements, and fur nishes the latest statistical intelligence on the con stitution of the country. The details respecting the Mouse of Commons are very copious, and include a concise biography of the Members, their principles, and pledges to their constituencies, their parentage, age, marriage, &c. It furnishes also a statement of the numbers polled at the last general election, the population of each place, the registered electors, and a general outline of the forms and usages adopted in Parliament. The returns for all the vacancies caused by death and resignations since the last prorogation up to the present session are given, with the usual historical and family notices. We believe this is the only hand-book of the kind now published. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 19. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Jus tice TINDAL ((n4 A Special Jul.) F4ASER V. BAClLbf.—tabt: COn . . This was an action brought to recdVer compensation in the shape of damages for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wifs. 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 . 300/. 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 reside 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 both 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 acciden,tal communication which led to further inquiries, and to the com mencement of the.present action. The Learned Counsel then entered into a Zatement 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 10,000/. 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. Elizabeth Arnold—l was the defendant's laundress from 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, he 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 some trifling errand, and when I returned there was nobody but the defendant in the chambers. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY-1 am now 19 years old. I left the defendant's service about the end of October, 1841. 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. Mr. Bagley afterwards took me back into his service. I have not the least idea when this took place. I began to rob the de fendant just about the time when I left him. • While I was 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. LucAs—l was at one time page to Mrs. Fraser. I went into her 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. Thomas 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. TnEsiGER—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 froln 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 ap peared to be on very intimate and' friendly terms with Mr. Fraser. 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 return to dinner and spend the evening with her. They usually. remained in the dining room. There was a sofa in that room. - When Mk. Bagley was not there visitors were usually shown into the'dining room ; but when he 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 romii and opened--the door. 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 came several times. He dined in her bedroom the first time he came, and spent the evening there. He once brought her seine 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 the following day. FEBRUARY 20. FRASER V. BAGLEY.—CRIM. CON. This case was resumed this morning, and having occu• pied the whole day, was again adjourned at six o'clock in the evening. 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. CRESWELL stated that the insolvent was a corn-dealer and Government contractor at Nevers, 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 declared 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 consequences 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 nemo bispuniatur was a principle of law in Eng land as well as in France, he submitted that he was not strictly liable to a remand by this Court. Mr. Commissioner PoLLocx did not se6 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 satisfaltory answer. The case was adjourned to the 2d of March, when it will be fully investigated. 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 2,555/. 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•6ool. and 7001. 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 2,000/. The insolvent was therefore ordered to be discharged. IN RE FRANCIS PAUSE. In this case the insolvent, a milkman, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the grouud 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 insolv'ent was remanded for eight calendar months, for making away with his property. THE CASE OF SUPPOSED TRANCE AT DEPTFORD.— Upon instituting inquiry on Monday, 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 awkab.donaon. POLICE iN'ttI,LIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) WORSHIP-STREE T: MESMERISM.— William Bowen ' a pale-faced and tiEtatiated yothig man, was charged before Mr. Bingham with hairy; stolen a linen sheet that had been entrusted to his landlaeey for the purpose of being washed. The prisoner, who stood at the Wl' with his eyes closed, and supported by the gaoler, was the object of general curiosity, as he was said to be in a state of mesmerie trance, which had lasted 35 hours. Police-constable Kemp, N 82, stated that about eight o'clock on Saturday evening he was called into the shop of a partnbroker, in Pitfield-street, Hoxton, where he found the prisoner, who was given into custody by the shopman on suspicion of having stolen a sheet which he had tendered for a: pledge. On being asked his name, the prisoner, who was then wide awake, said that it was Henry Hodges, and that the article was his own property ; but after he was conveyed to the station-house, he gave his real name, and stated that he lived at 13, City-terrace, Old-street-road. On call ing at that address, witness saw the prisoner's landlady, who identified the sheet as the property of one of her customers. Mary Holden, the owner of the house in question, stated that the prisoner was her lodger, and that the sheet was stolen on Saturday afternoon. The MAGISTRATE asked the *prieoner whether he hail heard and comprehended the evidence that had been given? The prisoner remained mute and motionless, and seemed wholly unconscious of all that was passing around him. Sergeant Lambert said that the prisoner had been wrapt in apparent somnolency since nine o'clock on Saturday even ing, and had not taken the slightest nourishment in the in terim. He had been visited by Mr. Coward, the police-sur geon, who failed to dispel the stupor; and the prisoner's brother, who was a lecturer on mesmerism, was afterwards sent for, and on reaching the station-house he went through his whole course of manipulations with no better success. He understood that the prisoner had been the object of fre quent practical experiments, in illustration of the so-called science of mesmerism; and it was stated that he might pro bably continue entranced for another fortnight.—(Laughter.) Mr. BINGHAM said that he should remand the prisoner, and the medical attendant at the prison would be directed to examine hiin, and report-as to his condition. The prisoner was removed from the bar, and on the arrival of the police van he was lifted into it, and conveyed " fast asleep" to his place of destination. LAMBETH-STREET. IMPOSITION ON EMIGRANTS.—A HARD CASE.—Mr. Lane, the Government agent for the protection of emigrants, applied to Mr. Henry on behalf of two poor men who had been swindled out of W. 17s. 6d., under the pretence of procuring them a passage to America. From the statement of the poor men it appeared that "on the 30th of December last they paid the above sum to a per son representing himself as as a shipping agent, and who had an office in the vicinity of one of the docks, as their passage money to America, on board the Brothers, a merchant ship. On their going on board, however, the captain refused to take them, and the vessel had since sailed for her destination. Since that time they had made repeated applications to the agent (who has been at this Court before for a similar of fence) for the restoration of theirmonev, but he had refused to do anything for them. Mr. Lane, in consequence, made application to the ma gistrate, under one of the clauses of the sth and 6th of 'Vic toria, commonly called the Passengers Act, which enabled him to impose a penalty of 101. upon every owner, charterer, or master of any ship, or passage broker, agent, or other per son neglecting to give a receipt for any money received by them for a passage to America. Mr. HENRY directed the attention of Mr. Lane to other clauses in the Act, which confined, its powers merely to ships carry ing at least thirty passengers, and observed he could not see the necessity of such a clause, as an injustice in a case like the present was just as much as it could be in a case where upwards of thirty passengers were engaged. In conclusion, Mr. Henry requested Mr. Lane would call the attention of Mr. Alexander Wood, one of the Colonial Commissioners, to the clause he had pointed Out ; and, after doing so, he would be glad to see him again. Mr. Lane 'said be would take the earliest opportunity of complying - with his Worship's request, and wait upon him again. Yesterday he was brought up before Mr. Bingham for final examination. Mr. BINGHAM asked the prisoner if he wished to say any: thing in extenuation of the offence ?—The prisoner said no thing ; but his brother came to the rescue, and said, when under the effect of mesmerism, he had a strong.propensity to appropriate other men's property. Tilt, the junior usher, said that the mode of treatment pur sued by Mr. Wakefield, the surgeon of the New Prison, ap peared, from its effect upon the prisoner, the most beneficial one that could be adopted towards such patients. On reach ing the prison he was promptly attended by that gentleman, who, on observing his lamentable condition, instantly ordered as strong mustard plaster to be applied to the back of the neck, with an intimation that, if it failed in its effect, it would, be necessary to shave his head, and apply a large blister• over.the whole cranium. The prescribed remedy was possessed of such extraordinary virtue, that the mere mention of it caused the prisoner to open his eyes, and the lethargy under which he had laboured was so effectually dispelled, that he was not troubled afterwards with the slightest re lapse.—(Laughter.) Mr. BINGHAM required the prisoner to pay a fine of 20s. for unlawfully pawning the property, and also two shillings, the amount received uponit, or be committed, in default, for twenty-one days to the House of Correction. MARYLEBONE. • Mary Madcleit, a pretty-looking female, about eighteen years of age, who had an infant in her arms, was placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged under the following circumstances :-- - Police-constable Ovendon, 80 D, stated that on the previous morning, between five and six o'clock, he saw the prisoner walking up and down on one side of Manchester-square. He desired her to go away, telling her at the same time that if she did not do so, he should be compelled to take her somewhere else, when she directly, used abusive and obscene languagO towards him, in consequence of which he con veyed her to the station-house. Witness added, that he be lieved her to be a prostitute. Mr. RAwtaxsose--IVas she doing nothing more than walk ing in the square when you took her into custody? Witness —I - knew her object in. being where she was, your Worship. There's a gentleman Hying in the square, who encourages girls at his house' continually, and many of them are no more than twelve years of age: lam sorry to observe, too, that the person I speak of is a man of title, living at No. 21. Mr. RAWLINSON—We have no secrets here. What is his name? Witness—Sir Hugh Munro. 1 have spoken to some of the girls after they have left his house, and. they have told me that they stand upon the door mat in his hall, where-he talks to them indecently, and that they . use lan guage of a similar kind, in return for which he gives them money. A number of the inhabitants in the square 'have .complained more than once of the nuisances and I have been stationed there to do all I can to abate it. The son has also written to complain of his father's goings on. Our reporter has, from subsequent inquiry made by him, ascertained that the constable was in error. It was the ne phew, and not the son who communicated with the police upon the subject. Mr. RAwenesox—(to the prisoner)—Whose child is that which you have in your arms ? Prisonef—lts my own, Sir. I am no prostitute, I assure you ; and I was waiting for a friend when the officer took me. Mr. RAWLINsON—You are discharged now, but take care that you are not brought here again. - The Magistrate, then addressing Inspector Black, said, would there be any harm in your calling upon this gentleman, or sending some one, to acquaint him of the nuisance, in order that it may be abated ? Mr. Black—lt's rather a delicate matter, Sir, and I don't know how far we can interfere as to what may be done in side the house. It is not in my district, but I'll represent to Inspectors Tedman and Brown all that has been here stated in reference to the case. UNION-HAIL. .Edgar Ford, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged before Mr. Traill, with forging the acceptance to a bill of exchange for 71. 4s. 6d., purporting to be the accept ance of Caroline Carpenter. Mr. Press stated that he had several money transactions with the prisoner previously to the present charge. That in the month of November, he (complainant) discounted the bill produced, dated the 7th of November, for 71. 4s. 6d., pur porting to be the acceptance of Caroline Carpenter. When the bill became due, the prisoner endorsed another bill to take the former one up, when it was ascertained that the acceptor's name to both were forgeries. This the complainant discovered by writing to Caroline Carpenter, who, on examin ing the bills, immediately pronounced them to be forgeries. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, replied that he Bhould say nothing at present. As Mrs. Carpenter was not present,. the prisoner was re manded.

SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 19.—A signal gun at eight o'clock this morning announced the arrival• of the Royal West India mail-packet the Tay, at her moorings in the river, as also of the arrival of the Oriental Company's packet, Lady Mary Wood, from Gibraltar. They both landed their respec tive mails in time to be forwarded to London by the nine o'clock train. The Tay left Cuba on the 19th January, Ja maica 23d, St. Domingo 25th, Porto Rico 27th, St. Thomas's 30th. There being no mail from Fayal, the Tay had no com munication with that place, by which saving of time, and aided by very fine weather, she was enabled to reach this port fogy hours within her prescribed time. Her passengers consist of Mr. Tod, Lieutenant Kennedy, Mr. John Barry, Sir W. and Lady Codrington and servants, Mr. Nurse, and Mr. Matthew, together with seven s upernumeraries. She has no cargo, and only 1,0001. in freight. The Lady Mary Wood left Gibraltar on the 10th instant, Cadiz 11th, Lisbon, 13th, Oporto 14th, and Vigo 15th. She has 27 passengers, 20 cattle in good order, a full cargo of fruit. and a quantity of green peas, consigned to Covent -garden. CLERKENWELL Two young man, named Russell and Payne, were charged with endeavouring to commit the following imposture : On the previous evening the prisoners went into the beer shop of Mr. Abourne, in Cross-street, Islington and called for a pint of half-and-half. The liquor was supplied to them, and, as payment for it, they handed the potman a yellowish piece of metal, having the appearance of a sovereign, but which, on inspection, turned out to be one of those little gilt medals sold in the streets at a penny each. The prisoners repeatedly affirmed that it was a sovereign, and demanded 19s. 9d. as their change. They were given into custody. The prisoner Payne made a desperate resistance, but was even tually secured. Sergeant Pagan said that Russell was a very bad character. The prisoners were in liquor on the previous evening, and each of them had eightpence in coppers on his person, with which the porter might have been paid for. The prisoners were held to bail. Two young women of very miserable appearance named Selina Harrison and Sarah Carter, were charged with robbing ready-furnished lodgings of bed, bed-clothes, and other articles value 31., the property of Mrs. Pinnock, 12, Mount Pleasant, Gray's Inn-lane. The prisoners are boot-spring makers ; they took a single room from Mrs. Pinnock in De cember, and on Monday she discovered that they had pawned everything in the room. The bed had been pledged in the beginning of January, so that the unfortunate creatures had nothing to lie upon but the boards since then. The officer, Philips, saw nothing in the room but a dirty sheet, a piece of a blanket, and two chairs, but no food. The prisoners who cried bitterly, admitted having pawned the articles, but declared they were driven to do so by des titution. The landlady said all she wanted was to get back her pro pertv. She had no desire to punish them. The prisoners were remanded to give them an opportunity of coming to an arrangement with the prosecutrix. Mr. Philip John, a surgeon, .residing in St. John-street, was summoned to answer the complaint of Mrs. Murket, the wife of a foreigner, living in St. John's-lane s for an assault. The complainant deposed that on Saturday last she answered a knock at her door, and the defendant asked if her husband was at home ; she replied in the negative, upon which he pushed by her, and set himself, unasked, down upon a chair in the kitchen, saying he would wait until Mr. Murket returned. She directed him to go away, saying it was not a fit thing for him to stay in the same room with a lone young woman ; he refused ; she said she would send for a policeman ; but, as he still persisted in remaining, she seized the chair for the purpose of dragging it away from him, when he caught her by the throat, and flung her over towards the other side of the room, and this he did five or six times, so that her breast was covered with bruises, and her little child frightened almost to death. A portrait-painter in the next room, hearing her screams, rushed in and interfered. The doctor said, the fact was, he had obtained an order for the payment of 165., in the Court of Requests, against Mr. Murket, and it was to serve this upon him that he went to the house: He had been a long time kept out of his money, which was for professional attendance. He did not strike the complainant, but she struck him, and tore his coat in flitters ; he firmly believed her husband was concealed in a closet the entire time. Mr. COMBE advised Mrs. Murket •to pay her doctor's bill. It too often happened that tenants and other debtors, instead r of paying the lawful demands upon them, sought a pretext f going to law and injuring their creditors. He would dismiss the summons.
