FRANCE. A letter from Lorient, of the 28th ult., states that a bottle, carefully sealed, was picked up on the pre vious day on the coast of Plouhinez, in the Alorbihan, It contained a card on which was written, in pencil —"Steam-ship Atlantic. name, Jonathan Welsh. Ten days out." The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 30th ult., publishes the following notice, issued by the Chamber of Commerce of that city : " The Chamber informs the merchants that, in virtue of a decision, adopted on the 23d of November, by the Supreme Director of the Board of Palermo, vessels ar riving from France and Gibraltar shall be ad m itted to h-ee pratigne, provided they do not carry any Brazilian article on board. Vessels arriving from Malta shall be subyected to a quarantine of from seven to fourteen days. This decision has been announced to the Chamber of Commerce by the Consul of France in Sicily, in a letter dated 25th inst." GERMAN Y. The following are the main facts of the Prussian budget estimates for 1851. The revenue of the State amounts to 94,694,959 thalers ; the ordinary ex penditure 93,483,711 thalers, showing a surplus of 1,211,248 thalers. The extraordinary expenditure is estimated at 3,229,248 thalers, of which there is con sequently a sum of 2,118,000 thalers not covered. The excess of the ordinary expenditure above the ordinary revenue is 2,462,396 thalers more than in 1850. But in these estimates the cost of the recent measures has not been included, and as the military credit of last session is understood to be already nearly expended, the excess of expenditure over the income will be very much greater than that indicated by the above figures. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES By a private communication from Kiel it appears that the Staathalterschaft has resolved to prosecute the landed proprietors and clergy who signed the late declaration of peace, for treason against the state ; Count Mol'ke was the author of the declaration. A military court of inquiry is also about to be ap pointed, to examine into certain facts connected with the storming of Friederickstadt ; it is believed that Colonel von der Tano, who commanded during the whole operations, frequently acted against the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, going beyond them in some cases, and leaving them unperformed in others. Von der Tann has quitted the service, and, it is stated, without any formal permission. As he was recalled by his own Government, it should be stated that such permission was not required. SWITZERLAND. The National Council and Council of States of Switzerland assembled in Federal Council on the 27th ult., to elect the President and Vice-President of the Federal Council for 1851. M. MUNZINGER, of So leure, the present Vice-President, was elected Federal President by 76 out of 135 votes. M. C. PFYFFER was elected President of the Federal Tribunal, and Dr. KERN, the present President, was elected Vice- President. ITALY. In the sitting of the 28th ult. of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin, Signor BROFFERIO, the leader of the Extreme Left, who, to the astonishment of all, had been appointed by the President of the Chamber, Signor PINELLI, to frame a new address, instead of that presented by Chevalier BoNcoaireGrir, read the document drawn up by him, which was as follows : _ " Sire,—Your sublime words have been received by the nation as an announcement of domestic felicity, and its echo will be heard from afar, where there are suffer ings and hopes. Permit us, oh Sire, to declare to you that the wishes of the country have seldom been more nobly interpreted. By upholding our institutions you have become great; by improving them you will render yourself immortal. The Elective Chamber will be proud to ass'st you in that glorious task which you have boldly undertaken, and the example of an Italian people that resists and perseveres, in the midst of struggles and ruin, will not be unproductive of good upon earth. "Liberty, whether conquered or defended, is always the fruit of magnanimous sacrifices; the nation will bear them with dignity. We joyfully await the presentation of those improvements we are anxious for. Progress is not only a rule of the statute, it is a rule of humanity. "Respect to religious traditions and the sentiment of national rights are the basis of European civilization. You, Sire, have combined both these sentiments with manly wisdom, and will continue to do so in future; for this the nation offers you its warmest thanks. " Sovereigns, to whom the happiness of their ocuntry is sacred above all, are negligent of their own private interest; it is therefore not surprising that confidence should become a tribute when the faith of the Sovereign is assured. Our present condition is serious; you have said so, Sire, but we, like you, have confidence in the future. The destinies that govern the human race pro tect Europe; but God placed Piedmont under the sates guard of the Sovereign's virtue and the constancy of the nation." This address was loudly cheered from all parts of the Chamber, and almost unanimously adopted. The delegation of Milan has published a notice, to the effect that the drawing of the conscripts for the new levy, which was to have taken place on Jan. 17, is to take place on Dec. 20. The Monitore Toscano of the 25th ult. announces that a postal treaty has been signed between Tuscany and Austria, and that the other Italian states have acceded or will shortly accede to the same.

STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The depression which per vaded our market last week has been greatly relieved to day by intelligence that Prussia and Austria were on the point of settling their main differences; and the effect of this news has been aided by favourable accounts of the Calcutta market, as well as by American advices of a character somewhat calculated to raise the' price of cotton in Liverpool, as, in fact, they have done to the extent of id. per lb. upon Friday's quotations. Although our market has not recovered all that has been lost since the present dulness came on, the buyers have certainly found that, for yarns in general, they must pay more by about id. per lb. than the rates at which they might have operated last week. On Saturday, extremely low prices were, in some instances, submitted to, under the influence of apprehension, arising out of the apparent imminence of war; anything of this kind is now out of the question. The German merchants are of course waiting to be more fully satisfied that peace is secured before they venture to do more than execute small and necessary orders; but the India houses and the home consumers are purchasing to a moderate extent. As regards goods, we have to report a marked increase of inquiry for various descriptions, with a fair amount of actual business in 40-inch shirtings, weighing from Gibs: to 81bs., and also in some kinds of domestics. The ahirtings are principally in request for the eas', but partly also for other markets. We learn from informa tion communicated by a mercantile house in this town that the expected ukase of the Russian Emperor; reducing the tariff of gimport duties, has actually appeared. By this ukase, whi e hl ' will come into operation on ; the Ist of January, 1851, th e d uty on cotton twist im ported into Russia will, we understand, be reducNi a silver rouble and a half per pood (about 4s. 10d. per 361 bi.) The duties on cotton goods are also greatly lowered, the reduction on the different kinds averaging above 50 per cent. on the amount of duty now levied T he duty on worsted yarns is likewise materially re. duced, and the duty on woollen cloths is somewhat di minished. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a slacker mar ket to-day in flannels, notwithstanding there is a f,ir business going on in the warehouses, and the malufac turers have orders on hand yet unexecuted. The wool market remains steady, at prices firm fxr English wools, and a small advance is asked for colonial wools. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We are still unible to record any improved feature in the manufacturing trade here. Up to the present time very little inducement has been held out to preducers for the coming spring; not withstanding which, there are fair grounds for the as sumption that suitable goods will be freely produced. The thrown silk trade is much in the same state as re ported in our last; at the same time, it is generally sup posed that extensive purchases will shortly be made in this, article. The raw silk market remains extremAy firm, at the latest qaetatione.. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1850. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market continues still, and there is not very much doing amongst the better class of woollen goods. There has been a rather better demand for fancy woollens of a low quality, for exportation, chiefly from the American market. The market is generally expected to be quiet until Christmas, at the commencement of the new season. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—AIthough there has been better attendance in our Piece Hall to-day, there is no improvement in the demand for worsted goods, which is more restricted than it was. The yarn trade is still in a state of almost entire stagnation. There is very little doing in wool; but the staplers are firm holders, at late rates. LEEDS, TIIESDAY.—We have no change to notice in the woollen cloth trade since last week. There has been little doing at the market both on Saturday and to day, and business in the warehouses continues quiet. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec 4. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Lord CAMPBELL and a Srecial Jury.) DRYDEN V. FRYER. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) By Mr. CHAMBERS—Mr. William Paxton and a page waited upon the party at dinner, and generally my sister in•law acted as chambermaid on that occasion. Mary Maxfield—l was a lady's-maid in the service of Mrs. Graves, who was first cousin to Sir Gregory. She is now dead. During her lifetime she used to visit Sir Gregory, in the Alpha-road. I had opportunities of seeing him with her. He was not like other gentlemen. In October, 1841, I went to Brighton with Mrs. Graves, who travelled in a carriage with Sir Gregory. William Paxton was one of the party. The housemaid, the page, and the coachman of Lady Turner; also went to Brighton, as did Sutton, the barber. Sir Gregory and Mrs. Graves had dinner together. Sir Gregory said be was allowed seven glasses of wine by the doctor. The quantity was measured three or four times before he was satisfied that he had got good measure. John, the page, used to attend him to bed, and slept in the room with him. John put or let out the light on one occasion, and Sir Gregory would not allow him to sleep any longer in his room. Sutton then slept with him. Lady Turner was expected to come to Brighton, but did not come. I remember a letter coming from her on a Saturday which was read by Mrs. Graves in the hearing of Sir Gregory. I slept in the same room with Mrs. Graves, but not in the same bed. On the night on which the letter came Sir Gregory came into Mrs. Gravel's room with a page behind him with a lantern. They had both got their night clothes on. Sir Gregory asked who was Mrs. Graves.—(Laughter.) Mrs. Graves said she was Mrs. Graves. Sir• Gregory had Lady Turner's letter in his hand, I think; he said he wished to have Lady Page's letter read (meaning Lady Turner). Mrs. Graves wished me to get out of bed and bring a light to , 14 her. I took a candle and held it over the foot of the ' bed, and Sir Gregory stood by Mrs. Graves's side. Mrs. 3i Graves, who was in bed, then read the letter to him. • The page stood behind near the door with the lantern. I did not cry out murder or any other thing.— : (Laughter.) Whilst the letter was read he asked . me if that was correct. He then requested Mrs. Graves to read it a second, a third and a fourth time, which she did. After that, Sir Gregory and the page lac the room and went to bed. Sir Gregory used very often to walk about and talk during the night. I re- Ice member a subsequent occasion, when he came and knocked at Mrs. Graves's bedroom door, in the middle of the night. I believe Mrs. Graves got up and answered him at the door. He said to her that John, the page, had stolen all his things. She told him to go to bed, • and he called John a d—d vagabond. I remember one morning Mrs. Graves saying at breakfast that she had lost a sovereign. Sir Gregory re plied that he had lost a piece of paper out LN of his room. I went into the yard and found a piece of ;!,‘ paper underneath his bedroom windows, about half the size of a letter cover. It was a plain piece of paper, % without any writing on it. Whilst at Brighton, I re ,34 member Sir Gregory throwing the Venetian blinds out of the dining-room window. I remember his preferring to have me in his bedroom instead of John one night. He ;a,' told me to sit down, which I did. He then removed a 1 54 34 sofa from the drawing-room into his bedroom. He lay on the sofa, and I sat by his side on a chair. The door and window were shut. % He got up and opened the window; and be said, " When : 34 the window is opened the door must be shut." He then shut the window and opened the door. That he did three times. Lord CAMPBELL—A new system of ventilation. were then of opinion that they , could not successfully resist the commission. We went down to Battlesden whero we saw a collection of valueless things combined with things of the greatest valup, all heaped up in one mass and covered over with old car pets. In July, 1824, I saw Sir Gregory three limes by order of the Lord Chancellor and made a report to his Lordship on each of those occasions. When I saw him in 1824 his disease had not in the least lessened. I saw him three times in 1825, with Sir Henry Halford, when he was still the same. I also saw him in April and May, 1826, before the trial of the traverse, when he continued still the same; he then laboured under the same erroneous impressions; he said his family bad conspired against him (which was one of his delusions), and spoke of his brother as being illegitimate. I then congratulated him on leaving off cutting his linen; he seemed annoyed at that, and said his linen was better washed there than it had been elsewhere. On inquiry I found he had not been allowed the use of scissors. When a species of insanity like that with which Sir Gregory was aflEcted has lasted so many years the chances are very much against the patient's recovery. If this insanity continued from 1823 to 1839 I should say it was u moat unpromising case to cure; and I have known no instance of a man being cAnpetent to make a will after being so long the suti ct of insanity. Epilepsy usually impairs the powers of the mind. After an in sanity of that lapse of time, and under such cir cumstances, I should not expect a man to con verse rationally on the ordinary topics of conversa tion; nor, if he did talk rationally on those topics, should I say he was restored to a perfectly sound state of mind, unless I found he was labouring under no delu sion. I never heard Sir Gregory talk of his property. I have heard the will which has been read in court, and from the state his mind was in I should have thought Sir Gregory was incapable of making such a dispositio❑ of his property, A fit of epilepsy in March, 1841, would not aggravate his disease, unless accompanied with paralysis. After an insanity of such a lapse of time I have never known a recovery when the insanity has been followed by fits of epilepsy. Occa sional drunkenness would aggravate the disease of in sanity. I have heard Dr. Southey's evidence, and that has not altered my opinion. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS —I have ceased to practice for ten years. By a juryman —I have not known a person have a lucid interval after an insanity of such duration as Sir Gregory's. Dr. Conolly—l have been in practice about twenty eight years as a physician. lam physician of the ilanwell Lunatic Asylum, an appointment which I have held fur ten years. For the last eleven years my pro fessional practice has been entirely confined to cases of insanity. Assuming an insanity of fifteen years' stand ing, and fits of epilepsy supervening, I should expect the malady would become increased. The mind almost always becomes weaker if the epilepsy continues. Epi lepsy is not at all uncomman after an insanity of four teen or fifteen years. I have heard the evidence in this case as to the character of the insanity. I should think the supervention of epilepsy after an insanity of so long a duration was a very unfavourable circumstance to reco very. I have never known insanity of such duration, followed by epilepsy, terminate in a cure. Cross-examined by Mr. M. CHAMBERS—I have advo cated the taking off of personal coercion and restraint from lunatics with a view to promote their recovery. Be fore my time a very different mode of treatment was in vogue. By the mode of treatment adopted by me cases of insanity of 15, 16, and 17 years duration have been cured after a residence in Hanwell. I have known four or five such eases. That has happened in eases of raving madness and dangerous lunacy. In two or three of those cases I found the patients were at first in straight waistcoats, and subject to violent paroxysms. The severe systems of restraint on lunatics has been ge nerally abolished, but not universally, I am sorry to say. I believe the change of system has produced extraordi nary cures. Re-examined by Sir F. KELLY—I think all the cases of cure I have mentioned have been cases of raving mad ness, unaccompanied by epilepsy. With this witness the defendant's case closed. Mr. M. CIIAMBERS replied. Lord CAIIIPBELL then proceeded to sum up. Ho commenced by reading two cases of disputed wills from Williams's book on Executors, by which it would appear that if at the time the testator made his will he was of competent understanding—if he knew the contents of it, and was in such a frame of mind as to enable him to understand the act, then the act was a valid one, and the will could not be set aside, even though it was proved that he was of insane mind before and after the execution of the will. Having recapitulated the evidence, commenting upon it as he proceeded, he left it to the jury to say, from the evidence which they had heard, whet'ler tney thought he was in st competent state of mind in June, 1841, when he made the will the validity of which was now called in question. His Lordship did not conclude his charge until twenty minutes after nine o'clock, having occupied three hours and a half in the delivery of it. The jury, without quitting the box, returned a vet.; diet for the plaintiff, thereby declaring in favour of the validity of the will. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 4. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in Middlesex, before Chief Justice JERVIS and a Special Jury.) HAncatAvii. V. HARGRAVE. This was an issue directed by the Master of the Rolls, ;o try whether the plaintiff, John Robert Hargrave, is he son of John Hargrave, deceased, and Mary, his wife, and the legitimacy was affirmed by the plaintiff and denied by the defendant. Mr. Butt, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. We!shy. Mr. Hugh Hill, and Mr. Phipson, appeared on the part of the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Channell, Mr. Sergeant Byles, Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. Willes, were counsel for the defendant. Mr. BUTT opened the plaintiff's case, and stated that the jury were already aware that the question was whe ther John Robert Hargrave was the son of John and Mary Hargrave, two persons who were nearried, but who separated under circumstances to which he would call their attention, and the matter arose out of some proceedings in the Court of Chancery. founded upon the will of Thomas Hargr ave , t h e father of John Hargrave, This testator was at one time an inn keeper in Old Cullum-street, but subsequently he lived at Leven, in Essex, and he was a man of some pro perty, possessing amcng other things the freehold of the Saracen's Head, in Aldgate. In February, 1819, he made his will, and devised his property to - Messrs. Jos ling and Smith, in trust, for his son John for life, with remainder to his children in tail, as tenants in coalmen, and if John Robert were the son of John, he would be entitled jointly with William Gosling, the other son, to the property of Thomas Hargrave. The value of the testator's estate was about 5,000/., bat he regretted to tay that litigation had been going on respecting it since the year 1640, when John Hargrave met his death by drowning, up to the pres en t t i me . I n the course o f the proceedings this issue had been twice tried; on the first occasion before the Lord Chief Justice Tindal, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff; but an application was made by the defendant for a new trial. Unfortu nately, Chief Justice Tindal died before the Master of the Rolls could confer with him, in order to r,move some doubt from his mind, an d therefore he di recte d a new trial. Upon the second trial the verdict was given for the defendant, and the Master of the Bolts not being satisfied with that decision, the case was sent down for a third trial. Under thes e c i rcumstances, they m i g h t easily imagine that after all this litigation, there would be but little of the property left for either of the claimants. Shortly after his father's death in 1840 the defendant became very dissipated, and in considerati on o f certa i n advances, h e assigned his interest under the will to Mr. Simmons, who had died since the last trial, and whose widow was now the real defendant. On the::l4th of December, 1816, John Hargrave was married to Mary Snow at St Bride's, Fleet-street, and they lived together until 1824, when they separated. Of this marriage several children were born, hut the only surviving ones were the plaintiff and defendant, the date of the plaintiff's birth being the 18th November, 1836, and the defendant having been born in 1819. The father of these children, John Her grave, was a man of very dissipated habits and loose morals, one of his primpl failings being his connexion with the softer sex. During the early part of his mar ried life he occupied part of the Ipswich Arms, in Cullum -street, as a feather-merchant, and at this time Mary Rogers, a relation of his wif e , ass i s t e d i n t h e household work. Early in that year, it would be proved, that John Hargrave seduced Mary Rogers, and that under the pretence of being ill he had, in the spring, left his wife, and taken her (Mary Rogers) to Hastings and Brighton, it being subsequently ascertained that she was at this time in the family way by him. In June he returned to his wife, and she having become ac quainted with his conduct, separated from him in the Sep tember following. Upon this her husband took lodgings for her at Woodford, and made her a small allowance, and occasionally visited her. As regarded Mary Rogers, he lived with her until her death, in 1835, and after that time he cohabited with a person named Tune. Whilst Mrs. Hargrave lived at Woodford she had a daughter born, who was named Emily, but during this time no complaint was made against her by her husband. In 1829 dissipation produced its natural result, and he be came involved in his circumstances. Upon this ho re duced, and ultimately altogether withdrew his allowance to his wife, and qu itt e d th e country and lived at Boa logne. He, however, was in the habit of coming fre quently to England, and it would be seen that he per sonally collected his rents, which were paid ball -yearly. At this time he owed Mrs. Tresler 6631. ss. upon a pro.. missory note, and he used to cull and pay the interest cf the debt to her daughter, Mrs. Pope. In the year 1830 he called upon Mrs. Pope and asked where his wire lived, and she gave him her address in the Globe-road, Mile end. She also accompanied him on a visit to his wife, whom he addressed in his usual manner, and said, " Well, mother, how are you ? " and they appeared very friendly together, and the husband nursed Emily, who had lived at Woodford, sad treated her as his own child. Subsequently, Mrs. Hargrave lived in New Swan-street, Bermondsey, and worked at stay-stitching; but she removed, in 1835, to Baalzephon-street, in the Bo rough, and occupied ono room in a house belonging to Mr. Stormy, two other rooms being occupied by Eliza beth Hallyer. The important question to be decided war, whether early in 1886 the husband was in com munication with his wife, under such circumstances that the jury might fairly infer that he was the father of the plaintiff. They were probably aware, that some time ago a doctrine obtained in England, that if the husband and wile were within what was called the four Seas," itict iv child *ere born; it should be taken that the huSband Was' the father of that child. This rule was no doubt estehliihed, because of the dif ficulty of proving the reontrn,ry, ; but in latter times it was held that it was not enough to show that the hus band and :wif e , were in the seine country, if it should be shown satisfactorily. that there was no communication between them. In thin cue_ it would be proved that the husband and wife were in communication, and, therefore, in accordance with law, the jury would infer that he was the father of the plaintiff; for if it could be shown that thsy were in the habit of meeting the legitimacy must be presumed. The deceased, when he came to England, was in the habit of going to the Ship Tavern and Hotel, in Water-lane, where his wife visited him several times, and it would be shown that he was there in the early part of 1836. It would also be shown that Mr. Smith, one of his father's trustees, met him in Aidgats iu January, or February, 1836, and that on the 10th May in that year, he went with him to the Hope Insurance-office, and transferred ten shares in that company, which were part of the property of his father. This latter circumstance would be proved by the best evidence—the books of the Hope-office, which contained the signatures both of the deceased and Mr. Smith. In the waiter's book at the Ship was an entry, stating that an account was received on the 30th March, 1836, from the deceased, and thus it would be proved that he was in London in January or February, in March, and in May, 1836, tho plaintiff being born in November of that year. The deceased also called upon Mrs. Pope in the early part of 1836, and gave a new note in the place of the old one which her mother had formerly held, and the executor of Mr. Godfrey, the late tenant of the Sara cen's Head would produce many receipts for rent in the hand writing of John Hargrave. one of them dated on Jan. 10, and another iu April, 1836, the receipt stamp having been purchased by the deceased personally at a shop in Aldgate. Another witness would be Mr. Yang hen, who for many years kept the Burton Cone-hou-e, in Cheapside, but who got into difficulties, and in 1836 was in the Fleet prison; and he would state that the deceased called on him there, in February of that year, he having ascertained from his son where he was. A piece of evidence connected with this part of the case was. that the deceased was in the habit of meeting his wife at the Burton Coffee-house, as would be stated by Mr. Vaughan, and also by his son. In the house in Baalzeo phon-street, in which Mrs. Hargrave lodged, there also lodged a Mrs. Elizabeth Hallycr, and she would be called before the jury in the course of the cause. Her evidence was that in February, 1836, a man answering the description of the deceased called at the house, and inquired for Mrs. Hargrave, whom witness called down stairs, and when she saw him, she exclaimed Holloa, Jack! what in the name of fortune brought yen here?" and he replied, "My legs." They then went up stairs together into Mrs. Hargrave's only room, and remained there alone for an hour and a half. When he left they shook hands, and in re ply to the question when he would be there again, he said he would be back in about six weeks. Part of this statement would be corroborated by Mrs. Payne,a green grocer in the same street, at whose shop the man in question called, and inquired where Mrs. Hargrave lived. The plaintiff was born on the 18th Nov., 1836, in Pau line-street, Bermondsey, and Mr. Tovy, a surgeon, at tended his mother in her confinement. The circum stances attendant upon the birth, he submitted, were conclusive as showing the legitimacy of the child. The mother used no concealment, but gave her proper name, and stated the fact that her husband was abroad, and further, the child was baptised at the church where his mother had been married, and was described in the re gister as the son "of John and Mary Hargrave." Ano ther most important piece of evidence was, that the de ceased acknowledged the plaintiff to be his son. It ap peared that W. J. Hargrave went to sea, and that the deceased, shortly before he was drowned in March, 1840, called upon Mrs. Pope, and entered into conversation with her in reference to this son. He said h© had seen a letter from him, in which he cursed his father, and he appeared much hurt at the circumstance. Mrs. Pope endeavoured to con sole him, and said that the curse would fall not upon him, but upon the writer. The deceased, upon this oc casion, said, "If his mother would let me have John Robert, I would send him to school, and have him edu cated; for if anything should happen to Biil, he will be my heir." At this conversation a Mrs. Heald was pre sent, and this lady was examined on a former occasion, but as she was now eighty- three years of age, and in firm, her evidence would be read from the judge's notes. He understood that the defence to he set up was that the deceased was in Boulogne all the first halt-year of 1836, his wife being in England, and, therefore, that he could not be the father of the plaintiff. Another matter to be raised was, that Mrs. Hargrave had so misconducted herself that it was probable that a person named Mortle main was the father of the p!aintiff; but even if this were so, the husband being in a position also to have connexion with her, they would learn from his Lordship that the law would presume the legitimacy of the child, and the immorality cf the wife would not at all affect the case. These being the facts, he would now proceed to prove them, and he had no doubt that at the end of the case, they would be of opinion, in the terms of the issue, that his client Jchn Robert Hargrave was the son of John Hargrave, deceased, and Mary his wife. The Learned Counsel proceeded to call witnesses to prove the statements contained in his speech, and, in ad dition thereto, evidence was given as to the various places at which Mrs. Hargraye had resided after the birth of the child in question down to a recent period, and it was sworn that she had always been a woman of good moral character, and had not, to the knowledge of the witnesses, been in the habit of receiving any male visitor whatever. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL then addressed the jury for the defence, and stated that his case was not merely that John Robert was not the son of John Hargrave, but he would show, beyond all reasonable doubt, that he was the son of the man Mortlemain. He admitted that the deceased sometimes visited this country, and he did not deny that he was here in May, 1836. He did not deny either that he had gone to the Ship Hotel, and had had there in his company a person passing as Mrs. Har grave, but he did deny that this was the mother of the plaintiff, and ho should endeavour to show that it was the woman Tune. He also did not dispute that the deceased separated from his wife in 1824, but he did not agree with his Learned Friends as to the cause of that separation, and he shoall show that it was nut in consequence of the intimacy of the de ceased with Mary Rogers, for that in fact did not exist until after the separation. The fact was, tLat the sepa ration was in consequence of the deceased suspecting his wife of an improper intimacy with a Frenchman named M. D'Arbrue. There were two questions for the jury; first, whether John Hargrave was in England at all in February, 1836, and if they thought he was, they would then have to ask themselves whether there was sufficient evidence of what the law called "generating access" to warrant them in the conclusion that the plaintiff was the son of John Hargrave. It was true that he had made his wife an allowance of a guinea a week, but after the birth of Emily it was reduced to such an amount as (if he could not distinctly prove adultery) the parish would enforce, namely, Bs. a week. At a subsequent period Mrs. Simmons, the sister-in-law of John Har grave, was living with a man named Mortlemain, and the allowance was then altog-thor stopped. It would also be proved by positive evidence that John Hargrave was at Boulogne all the first, part of the year 1836, and there fore could not have been in England in February of that year. The Learned Sergeant went through the cir cumstances which he intended to adduce, and then called witnesses, who gave evidence, of which the following is a digest:— Martha Ann Hill (the first cousin of Mrs. Hargrave), stated that, about six weeks before the separation, in 1824, she gave witness some letters and a portrait of M. D'Arbrue, requesting her to take care of them, and not let her husband see them. On one occasion witness found Mrs. Hargrave and a Mr. Josling sitting on a sofa together, in a room in the Ipswich Arms. On Mr. Hargrave's return from Hastings he demanded of wit ness the letters and the portrait, and two days after that he and his wife separated. A short time before she went out to walk with Mrs. Hargrave, and they met M D'Arbruo on Southwark bridge, and witness left them together. Ann Mary Taylor heard Mr. and Mrs. Hargrave quarrelling about a foreign gentleman. Mrs. Hargrave was in a great passion, and would not bear the accusation. Mary Ann Porter recollected the birth of the child Emily, and that a day cr two after the birth it disap peari,d, aed was not brought back for six weeks. Eliz ib , 411 Shakes was called to show that the child was sent to the vestry clerk of Ail-Hallows, in a small fish-basket, and that the mother was subsequently traced by the parish authorities, and taken back. In the bas- it ket was a note, which was sought to prove was in the handwriting of Mrs. Hargrave, but the document was not given in evidence. Other witnesses were called, who stated that Mrs. Hargrave had been Fem with a Mr. George Beteson walking near the forest at Woodtord, as late as nine o'clock in the evening. That during 1836 Mr. Mortle main visited her three or four times a week. He had been with her as late as ono or two o'clock in the morn- ing, and on one occasion had been seen going away early in the morning, as if he bad been staying all night. After the birth of tqe plaintiff, a person, whom the witness had since ascertained to be Mortlemain, fre- quently visited her.fefrec i uently;iept there, and on one occasion had been seen in Mrs. Hargrave's bed. It was also sworn that these visits continued at various places until a rec;ntP;riod, — ;:icitiat ho treated the plaintiff as his child. Mrs. Jane Simmons was examined by direction of the Court of Chancery, and she said, that her husband, John Simmons, had died since the last trial. She was the cousin and sister-in-law of John Hargrave. He and his wife separated shortly after his return from Brighton in 1824. He would have left her without mak- ing her any allowanco had not witness per suaded him to give her a guinea a week. lie went abroad in 1828 or 1820, and witness saw him at her house in Cullum-street, the Ipswich Arms, in 1832, and again in 1835, and also about the 22d of pril, 1836. On the last occasion ho spent the night at witness's, and the following day went to Colney, where his son Wil liam was at school, and brought him to her house on Tuesday, the 26th of April. The son William remained with her until February, 1540. The father stayed until the following Thursday or Friday, when the boat went. She saw him again in May, and he then stayed about a month. She went to Ptiuline-street, Bermondsey, to see Mrs. Hargrave, in 1837, and witness's sister went with her. They saw Mrs. Hargrave, and witness ob served that she was nursing. It was arranged that wit ness should pay her 83. a week on account of her hus- band. Witness afterwards Paw her in Crosby-street, and observed something belongirg to a child. Wit ness asked what she did with such things, and Mrs. Hargrave said she often nursed the child of a woman below. Witness made some inquiries, and saw her again at witness's house i❑ the following November, and accused her of having had another child since Emily, and said she — should not have any more money. She said hew dared witness accuse her of doing wrong again because she had done so once. Witness then showed her a piece of paper which con tained Mortlemain's name and address. Witness thought she would have fainted. She went'down on her-knees, end begged witness to conceal it from her husband, find witness promised she would, if she would 1026 Mottl e main, and go and live on the other side of the water. Witness oleo prowited to continue thb ptspnento and a , 040i Juttert afterwards guaranteed the payment of the rent of her lodgings in Pearson street, Kingsland-road. Witness subsequently visited her in Dagger's-court, Moorfields, and saw two cups and saucers. Nir. Hargrave said the extra cup and saucer were for the child, hut witness re plied.thet a child of such tender age could not use a cup. There was also a pair of man's trousers there, ehich she said had been given to her to mend. Witness under stood that Mr. Mortlemain was under the bed all the time. She refused to pay her any money, and told her husband of what she had seen. He was so afraid of her, that he begged witness to continue the payments until he left the country. Witness saw her subsequently, and accused her of being still connected with Mortlemain, and she replied—" How could you expect that a father would keep from his child." Witness was present about three weeks before John Hargrave's death, when he and hi s wits Mere to- getber. She said the boy (the plaintiff) wonA he his heir; and he said, "Do you mean to say that I sin to educate it?" She said, " Yes, certainly." She arknow- Mg( d that Mortlemain was the father of the child, and she held up her linger and said, " I love his little finger better than ever I did you." Cress-:txarnined—She had not seen defendant since Mey or June last, and did not know %s here he was. She hal lent him 2911., and lisd got a deed authorising her to reeeive the rent of the Saracen's Head. The rent was 3:.. 7 :01. a year. She was to allow him 31. a work, and after discharging some debts to appropriate the rest in payment cf her claim. Part of the time she had received only half the rent, the other lutlf being paid into the Court of Chancery. She had lent defendant money be fore he was of age, but that sbe h,rd never claimed. She certainly hail not persuaded Mrs. Hargrave, three months before her husband's death, to put him in a lu natic asylum. She had been examined twicl before; but would not swear that she had there said all that she had stated on the present occasion. The witness's evidence on the two former trials was read, and it was found that she had then spoken of the two cups and saucers, the man's trousers, and of Mrs. Hargrave falling on her knees, &c., but that she had omitted some of the other matters now spoken to. Elizabeth Hargrave, the sister of the last witness, cor roborated her testimony as to the interview in Pauline street, and upon some other matters. John Hargrave Rogers, the son of the deceased by Mary Rogers, was examined, and stated that he recol lected his father living with his mother, and afterwards with Miss Tune. He remembered the Carnival Ball at Boulogne in 1836. It was in the middle of February. and witness's father was there with Miss Tune. His father went to England in April, 1836, but not before in that year. He was away about ten days. He went a second time in May, and then Miss Tune went with him. Cross•exarnined—He had entered the army in 1840, but he could not swear in what month. Ho could not tell the month in which he left Calais, nor could he tell the month in which he first went to school, nor that in which he entered his first service. He had gone to India with his regiment, but he would not swear whether it was in the year 1845, or not. Several other witnesses were called to show that John Hargrave did not leave Boulogne at all during February, 1836, and it was particularly sworn that he had attended the Carnival Ball there with Miss Tune in that month at the time when ho was stated to have called upon his wife in Baalzephon-street. I❑ reply to this part of the case, Mr. and Mrs. Blunt stated that they knew John Hargrave, that they attended the Carnival Ball, and that he was not there. Mr. Sergeant Wfumts, upon the conclusion of the evidence, addressed to jury upon the whole case in a powerful and eloquent speech, which occupied three hours and a half to deliver. He analysed the evidence with great minuteness and ability, and especially urged upon the jury that most of the witnesses on the part of the defend:lit were interested in the result of the cause, but the plaintiff and his mother were poor and unfriended, and not likely to be able to influence the testimony of any witness. In addition to this the plaintiff's case was supported in the most important particulars by written documents, which could not lie, but the defendant's case was wholly deficient in any such certain proof. Under these circumstances the Learned Counsel submitted to the jury, in full confidence that they would have no diffi culty in coming to the conclusion that his client was en titled to their verdict. The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up at considerable length, and directed the jury that the law presumed legi timacy, and that the onus of proving the contrary was upon the defendant. The presumption of law was strong upon the subject, so strong that it had been said by a learned predecessor of his, that to upset it the evidence must be clear, strong, conclusive, and satisfactory. lie perfectly agreed with this ruling, and his opinion was that it was of the utmost importance that no child shonld be bastardised except upon the strongest proof. The whole question was one entirely for the jury. They had heard the witnesses, they had seen their demeanour, and he had no doubt they would come to a sound conclusion upon the subject. _ The jury Were absent from the court for half-an-hour, and then came into court and stqted that they R ere of opinion that John Robert Hargrave was the son of John Hargrave, and thereupon a verdict was entered for the plaintiff. The case commenced on Monday morning, and did not finish until half-past six this evening. COMMISSARY COURT OF SURREY, Doctors' Commons, Dec. 4. (Before Dr. HAGGARD.) BATLEY ;/. BATLEY. In this case Mr. Richard Batley, jun., promotes a suit for divorce, on the ground of adultery, sgs.inst his wife. Dr. CURTEIS, fur Mr. Batley, was opeuirg the prc ceedings, when Dr. DEANE, for the wife, said he must abandon that portion of the case which related to the commission of adultery ; but upon the evidence he should pray the Court to dismiss Mrs Barley on the ground that her husband had connived at her guilt, and therefore was not orit'ed to a sentence. He (Dr. De see) contended it was clearly established by the testimony in the care that the parties had cohabited together for se veral months pierions to the marriage, and that six days after such marriage Mr. Batley, through the persuasion of his father, separated from her, leaving his wife in a destitute state; and that he afterwards drove her to the commission of adultery with a person who was employed for the purpose by himself or Mr. Batley, sen., or by some other person on their behalf. He submitted it was a case of malicious desertion, and that the husband had been guilty of active and corrupt connivance to entrap his wife into.the paths of iishonour. Dr. WADDILOVE was hard on the same side. CITILTEIS and BAYFORD, on the part of Mr. Bat ley, contended the wife had never been left destitute, or that her guilt had been connived at in the remotest de gree. They submitted that the case on the other side failed entirely. The Conti' considered that there was no foundation for the charge of malicious desertion, or of the husband having been guilty of connivance. On the ground that the wife had been guilty of adultery, the husband was entitled to a separation. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Sabre Mr. SPrgeant ADAms, Assistant Judge.) Sarah Burke, 19, Sophia Diebury, 22, Jane Finnerty, Is, and Lliza Jones, 23, were indicie i for rubbing Miry Ann Foster Simmons of a mantle, and a purse contain ing .135..2d. The circumstances of this case were tf an extraordi nary nature. The prosecutrix, a young woman appa rently about twenty years of age, deposed that she was a single woman, and the daughtcr of a person holding a situation o❑ the Midland Counties Railway, at Derby. She arrived in London last week on business, and was staying at a boarding-house near the Euston-square station. At about one o'clock on Satnrday morning last she was proceeding along Tottenham-court -road, when she was accosted by the prisoner Finnerty, who asked her for a penny. She told her that she had CO change, upon which she asked for some supper. They walked together a short distance, and they were joined by Jones, and at the request of Finnerty they went and procured some ham and bread. She then said net she was very late, and one of the prisoners sugge,ted that as she was a stranger in the town, they would show her a respectable boarding-house, and not knowing her way, she said she would be glad if they would do so. They then took her to a house in Church-lane, St. Giles's, and conducted her to a room upstairs. All was in darkness, but she was aware that other women were pre sent. One of them immediately seized her and threw her upon the bed. She screamed, and one of them knelt upon her head and chest, holding her hand over her nese and mouth until she was nearly suffocated, whilst the others proceeded to strip her of her clothes, and rifle her pockets. She struggled with them, and made all the noise she possibly could, but she speedily became insensible; the last circumstance she could recollect being, that the women threatened to murder her if she continued to resist. On coming to herself, sho saw women still in the room, and some of them began to express pity for her. She was going down stairs when the prisoner Dilbury laid hold of her, in order to prevent her following the other prisoners, who had just before left the room, but she broke away from her, and ran after them. She raised the cry of " Stop thief," and they were captured by the police-officers, on duty in the neighbourhood" Evidence having been given, The prisoners Burke, Dilbury, and Jones, declared their innocence. - -- The jury found all the prisoners Guilty. The sentence was, that they be each imprisoned and kept to bard labour for the space of one year. Isaac Ballard, 15. and George Sairzsbury, 18, were in dicted for stealing seven books from the residence of Sir J. Romilly, the Attorney- General. Ballard was found Guilty; Sainsbury, Acquitted. The former was sentenced to three months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOI?OUGH-STREET. Mrs. Eleanor Hirschfeld, the widow of the late Mr. Herman Hirschfeld, banker and merchant cf Paris, came before Mr. Hardwick, to beg some temporary assistance fir herself and four infant children from the poor-box. Mrs. Hirschfeld presented several highly respectable recommendations authenticating her melancholy history, and her statement. of destituti , .n. Her husband was a Jew, but after marriage he embraced Christianity. This act drew upon him the resentment of his family and his former friends, and having become reduced, by severe losses, to insolvency and starvation, he died at Berlin a short time ago broken-hearted.

From Buenos Ayres we learn that General Rosas had given orders to the captain of the port to engage foreign sailors, and purchase three merchant vessels. It is also stated that General Urquiza, having received instructions to march upon Paraguay, replied that he could not move for want of horses. THE BIRKENHEAD RIOT.—On Saturday the ma gistrates assembled at the Town Hall, for the purpose of in vestigating the circumstances relating to the late riot. The meeting was strictly private, but we understand very impor tant information respecting the origin of the late riot was re ported to the meeting by Mr. G. Palmer, the sp ec i al high constable of the hundred , and Mr. IVPHaig, superintendent of Birkenhead police, and which was "derived ' from various sources, all tending to show that the riot was the result of a deep-laid conspiracy. Od Examination continued.—He tht n asked me to sing.— 0 (Much laughter.) This was about six or seven in the 6' evening. I did sing to him.—(Laughter.) I sang a verse of some song, the name of which I cannot remem ber. He sad " That will do; that will do," and I went away. I was afraid, because he looked so strange. By the JUDGE —I was not'afraid he was going to make any improper proposal to me. Examination continued—When we were at Brighton - Paxton paid the bills. When we returned from Brighton (ce. Mrs. Graves, Sir Gregory,• and Paxton travelled inside the carriage, and three of the servants, myself among them, outside. Cross-examined by Mr. CerAmisnase—Mrs. Graves died in i the same year as Sir Gregory. I have lived since her ; death at Newberry, in service. lam now living as housemaid with Mr. Russell at Dulwich. I am not a , married woman. When the wino was measured out to i Sir Gregory three glasses of sherry and four of pert were measured out to him. I have seen him sucking out of an empty bottle.—(Laughter.) He had also some brandy at Brighton, which he wished to have neat.— (Laughter.) That was the occasion when he lay on the sofa. The night on which the letter came he had had a little of the neat. Stephen Mackay—l have been engaged since 1839 in attendance on lunatics. I was attached to Dr. War- M burton's establishment at Hoxton. I there went by the % name of West. I was sent to Gloucester-place to at tend on Sir Gregory Turner by Dr. Warburton. The first occasion that I was sent there was in June,lB42, and that was to relieve Mr. Rook, who was going away for a day. On Sir Gregory knowing that Rook was going away, he was very pleased with me at first, but after- Ice wards expressed a wish to have Rook back again the same day. Lady Turner ordered the carriage to take him out to pacify him. I accompanied them into the t Park. I could not succeed in pacifying him. The !36 coachman, consequently, drove the party to Rook's i house in the Alpha-road to bring him back. We i brought Rook back, and I returned to Hoxton. Some 14 weeks after that—viz. between the end cf July and the first week in August, 1842—1 was sent by Dr. Warburton to be in regular attendance on Sir Gregory, in conjunction with Rook. I remained with him till his death. When I returned on the se mild occasion Sir Gregory's speech waft affected very much, and ho appeared like a person a ho had been suffering from paralysis. His habits and manners were those of a child, not of a man. Medicines were ad ministered to him from time to time, which we gave him in tea and other mixtures. The habit of not going to 4 the water-closet was still upon him, and there was a pan kept in the room. His body was very much debilitated at that time. On such occasions he stood upright, and I and another were obliged to force him down. • During the time I stayed with him he / exercised no free will of any kind, nor was he ea pable of taking taro of himself. He bad no 4 command of money at that ti me . I was p resent a t hi s death; he died in un epileptic fit. He had been subject i to those fits during the time I was there. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He did not die /34 in a very violent fit; nature was quite worn out. 3 6 Mrs. Beechey—l am the wife of Captain Beechey. In August, 1840, I accompanied my husband to see Sir Gregory in the Alpha-road. That was the first time I saw him. We took tea with Sir Gregory and Lady Tur ner. We stayed from about eight to ten o'clock. I considered Sir Gregory rather en imbecile person. I thought he was very unequal to conversation. He merely bowed on being spoken to; he spoke for a short time, but he could not support conversation. He had a thick utterance. I saw him again on the last day of May, 1841. I went with my daughter. Lady Turner called for us in the carriag e , and we drove with her and Sir Gregory to a place in the neighbourhood of Hornsey. Sir Gregory seemed on that occasion rather weaker in intellect. He spoke very little. At the termination of i the drive we stopped at an inn to bait the horses. Sir Gregory asked for some beer as refreshment. ht He subsequently had some beer. We took a walk in the village; and I observed the boys about the place took a great deal of notice of him as being rather a strange person. (ce. Captain Beechey—l am the husband of th e la s t wit ness. I remember going with my wife to see Sir,Gregory Turner. That was the first time I saw him. I remem i ber perfectly well starting several su bj ec t s o f converse i tion into which we could not go very deep. Those were 2 A the general topics of the day. He made a merely casual 1% or superficial remark when we spoke of them. Our coneer -1% cation was nece s s ar ily ver y li mite d ; h e seeme d i ncapable 1 3, 4 of talking on the subjects which were started. 1 next 1% saw him in Montagu-square, when nothing passed be • 7 ,4 tween us but a bow of recognition. I saw him once o, ' ‘ more in Gloucester-place ; I cannot fi x th e d a t e . I inatt . ;% gine it was the latter part of 1841, or beginning of 1842. On that occasion he merely said, " Good morning; 1 % what's the news?" Nothing more p asse d, f or h e was in -1 34 capable of conversing. He was sitting at breakfast, in 14 the middle of the day, and he did not get up. He spoke very thick, and ho articulated with grear, difficulty. Rook was not present on that occasion, but I believe he was in an adjoining room, though I did not see him. Mr. John North—l am a surgeon residing at No. 9A, Gloucester place, which is nearly opposite to the house x, occupied by Sir Gregory Turner. In May, 1842, I was . called in to attend him. I found him in a violent ' B , paroxysm of epilepsy, sufficiently violent to endanger his life, inasmuch as it was accompanied with paralysis. This was on the 7th May. I saw him also on the Bth 'l6 and 9th. I was not his regular medical attendant, and.l fancy I was merely called in from the proximity of my house. I saw him again on the 11th May, when he ex. 6d hibited all the ordinary feebleness consequent upon epi leptic attacks. I saw him in the presence of his keeper, but I think that was not on the first occasion. The keeper was not there from any violence manifested by Sir Gregory, though some degree of restraint was ne red. I Price. cessary. I afterwards saw Sir Gregory in a c h a i r on th e balcony of his house, calling out so as to excite the at tention of passers by. The centre drawing-room window was open. I saw the arm of a man put out to draw him in, but not with violence. Dr. James Sutherland—l was thirty years physician at St. Luke's. I have been in practice since 1805. I have now retired. I gave my attention almost wh o lly t o cases of lunacy. St. Luke's is exclusively a luna'ic asylum. I first saw Sir Gregory Turner on 6th Decem ber, 1823, at his own instance, communicated to me by Mr. Collyer. I was called in to oppose the commis sion, he having selected three physicians for that pur pose, Dr. Powell, Dr. Haslam, and myself. I saw Sir Gregory when he was confined in the Queen's Bench. It was afterwards required that we should go down to Battlesden to see Sir Gregory's collections. That was in consequence of his being thought irrational as to his conduct. It was part of our instructions to see whether he had made extravagant purchases which he had not taken care of. I examined Sir Gregory in the presence of those gentlemen three times before we went down to Battlesden. The result was, my impression that his mind then laboured under delusion, chiefly on the subject of the dread of infection, which induced him to avoid going to the water-closet and to shut up his linen. He stated that his son, who had died, was murdered by Mr. Green, the medical man, from not acting up to his instructions, and by not putting restoratives into the child's mouth after its death. Ile aaid,Sir Thomas Ac land had been brought to life by s i m il ar means . He became angry under the idea that the child had been murdered, and I believe he threatened Mr. Green with an action.. After going down to Battlesden, wo communicated with Sir Gregory's counsel, " who Pot barley COAL MARKET`.— YESTERDAY. 140 Od Buddle's W.
