Rash ladies, and short-sighted swains ! Were they ignorant that no lady 0* a certain or uncertain age has ever really passed that fabled limit of time beyond which the wiles and • •:cheries of love are said to be without effect, and his arrows fall powerless? The result of the false step is not long in doubt; cajoled, subdued, ensnared, the lady gaolors are pri soners in their turn, and Fleurette and her friends are sum moned to take part in the wild mockery and mischievous glee with which the successful conspirators dance round the cage, and pour in their pitiless arrows on its inmates. Wonder and wrath are the mildest feelings with which His Mightiness and the court, who now arrive, view such pro ceedings. The ladies are freed at the voice of Authority, but not without many a wound in witness of the Archers' prowess. Love now gathers all his forces, and the battle royal, the decisive engagement of the campaign begins. The issue is soon evident. Fierce, frequent, and inevitable, pours the arrowy hail on the devoted courtiers. Love wins Youth and Beauty from the grasp of Authority, and ascends with them is glowing triumph, leaving his defeated fee such con solation as he may find in the fit society of the courtly forms, which, stiff and gorgeous with brocade and hoop, armed at all points with powder, patch, and fan, rise from all quarters of the dull nether-earth, where Authority is left to rule, as best he may—these his proper subjects."

In the Commons, after a short but very animated discus sion on the subject of the row "of the previous evening, the debate on the motio n for the second reading of the Eccle siastical Titles Assumption Bill was renewed. Mr. BERNAL 0 5 " R" oPPosed the Bill, as ho considered it the first step towards reviving penal laws. The danger to Protestantism arose more from the teachings of Oxford than from Rome, and the proper method to obviate the danger would be to reform the English Church and Univer sities. lauded Mr. BAILLIE CoCHRASS, having the Papal and Austrian Governments, and denounced BiAzzini and GA VAZZI, declared that he should vote for the measure, but not from feelings of intolerance. Mr. FORTESCUE and Mr. GOOI.D opposed, and Mr. C ana , supported, the Bill. Mr. W. J. Fox opposed the Bill. With the organization of an Established Church the State had a right to interfere, but it had no right to interfere with the organization of a non- Established Church. Mr. WALPOLE considered the Bill defective, but would nevertheless .support it, and he trusted that it would be put in force as neon as it became law. Mr.' ORMICK said a great mistake had been committed in treating the Papal rescript as a legal document. The posi tion of the Roman Catholics was that of a dissenting body, and the Bill wasa declaration of hostility without the means of attack. Sir RAIN RoofiLLY denied that this was a persecuting measure, and suggested to the Irish Members that the pro banle.object of the present movement was to give the Roman Catholics of England, whose bishops were nom i na ted from Rome, predominance over the Roman Catholics of Ireland, whose bishops were in general elected. On the motion of Mr. FAGAN the debate was adjourned to Monday. THE Lord Join; RUSSELL expressed a wish that the division should take place on Monday night. The House rose at half-past twelve. Persons who have once entered upon an unjust anu inequitable course will frequently proceed to extremi ties which they had not contemplated, and at which they would have shuddered at the commencement of their career. One crime or one error will lead to others of even greater magnitude, the perpetrators be coming bolder and more unscrupulous as they pro ceed, and less sensitive to the sufferings of their vic- tims. ^ Acts of spoliation once commenced will generally be continued, until the sufferer is unable to make his complaints heard, and debarrsd from the means of seeking redress against his more powerful persecutors and oppressors. If we sought a modern illustration of this ancient practice it might be found in the course pursued by the East India Com pany towards the unfortunate TRIMBUKJEE RAJA, the de jure Raja of Sattara, we say the de jure Raja, for he is such, not only as the adopted son, and consequently the lawful heir and successor of the deeply-wronged PERTAUB SINGH, but also as the nearest blood relation and heir male not only of PERTAUB SINGH, but also of ArrA SAHIB, who was placed upon the throne of Sattara, recognised by the Company as a Sovereign Prince, an independent potentate, with whom they entered into various im portant treaties after the unwarranted deposition of his elder brother on the most frivolous pretexts. Under any circumstances, whether PERTAUB SINGH were really guilty, as alleged by the Directors, or without stain or spot on his fair fame, as he invariably declared himself to be, and as his friends will ever main • tain—if his trial were as formal and conclusive a 3 it was really informal and unsatisfactory, the conduct towards TRIMBLMJEB RAJA could not be justified, or even defended. We have so often expressed our opinions of that solemn mockery of investigation against which we have, on the part of the English people, so frequently and unequivocally protested, that we shall not be misunderstood, if, for the purpose of argument, we suppose for a moment that the proceedings were properly, fairly, and regularly conducted, before an impartial tribunal assembled in open court, and in the presence of the accused RAJA ; that he had ac tually received the copies of the depositions in his own language, for which he had so earnestly applied, so that he was cognizant of the charges against him, and the evidence by which these charges were at tempted to be sustained ; and that he had been allowed the opportunity not denied to the humblest British subject in this happy land, of being heard in his own defence. If we then assume that all was correct and formal, so that the condemnation was fully war ranted, and could not now be impeached or even questioned, how could it affect the present claimant, TRIMBUJEJEE RAJA ? By the treaty entered into with PERTAUB SHEANI in 1818, we ceded the territory of Sattara to him, his heirs and successors, "in perpetual sovereignty." By one article of the treaty it was forbidden to the RAJA, his heirs or successors, to carry on direct correspondence with foreign powers ; but the punishment was limited to the party ofiending—it would sub ject " him" to the forfeiture of the advantages he might gain by the said agreement. He might himself be deprived of his throne, but the penalty was personal, and would not apply to his inno cent heir. The Company acted on this view of the case, conscious of the reproach and censure it Would incur if it profited by the ex parte proceedings of its own officers ; it was distinctly stated that the British Government " had no intention of taking the country for its use, or of increasing its possessions by the measure." ArrA SAHIB was raised to the throne, and a new treaty entered into with him, while the impar tial and disinterested judges declared that " they had only transferred the sovereignty to the RAJA'S younger brother." In what capacity then, or by what right, did APPA SAHIB ascend the throne ? Simply as next heir and successor to the former RAJA. But in so doing the Company overlooked a superior claim, a better title. Under one of the best recognized and most sacred customs of the Hindoo law, he was entitled, in the event of failure of heirs male of his own body, to adopt a son, wko should thereby become, to all intents and purposes, his lawful heir, inheriting the rights of a legitimate child. This pri vilege he solemnly and deliberately exer cised in favour of TRIMBULTEE RAJA, who was the son of his first cousin, BBLIA SAHIB, and with the exception of his only brother, his nearest heir male. TRINIBUKJEE RAJA should then have succeeded to the Raj of Sattara, if it became vacant, but he was most unwarrantably and unjustifiably passed over, and APPA Sams elevated in his place. The right of adoption was thus, we believe, for the first time questioned, and the Hindoo law wantonly violated without the slightest reason being alleged. It was simply the law of the strong arm—might that made right. Well, APPA SAHIB subsequently died, and his heir, therefore, became entitled to the throne of Sattara. That heir was TRIMBUEJEE RAJA, the son of his first cousin, the descendant of his grandfather. What did the Company do then ? Ilow were the assertions " that it had no intention of taking the country for its use," or "of increasing its possessions by the mea sure," carried out ? They seized and confis cated the territories, and not only the ter ritories, but the private fortune of the deceased Prince, to which his heir and successor became en titled. We cannot understand on what plea these acts can be justified, or why it is, that the British Parliament] has suffered itself to be hoodwinked and nduced for the first time to deny justice to an humble suppliant. The case has been repeatedly brought before the Legislature, and before the proprietors of East India Stock, but has been got rid of by various ingenious devices. That has, however, been the claim to the throne. But now it appears that even the tribunals of the country are closed against the suppliant, and that his private rights will not be in quired into or adjudicated on. A petition was duly deposited in the office of the Privy Council, by the next friend of the infant RAJA, in December last, praying for the restitution of certain pro perty belonging to the deceased RAJA, and descending to the claimant, not only as adopted, but also as natural heir. This property had been taken possession of by the Company on the ground that APPA SAHIB had died without an heir, which was altogether contrary to the fact. The petition sought no territory or dignity, it merely claimed certain personal property. There was nothing political in it, and yet it was returned to the petitioner with an intimation that "it was not within the jurisdiction of their Lordships to entertain matters of a political character !" The unfortunate youth is thus not only deprived of his dominions and his rank, but also of his fortune. Ile is kept poor, that he may be deterred from enforcing his unquestionable rights. Should any person suppose that we have overstated, or in any degree exaggerated, the facts of this painful —and we regret to be obliged to add, to the Anglo-In dian Government, exceedingly disgraceful—affair, we would refer to the admirable statement of Mr. J. SULLIVAN, a gentleman who, during a protracted and honourable service in Hindostan, had acquired golden opinions from persons of all classes and creeds, na tives as well as white men, and who is therefore in every respect a satisfactory and unexceptionable wit ness. That able speech, which will be found in extenso in another part of this day's impression, and the incontrovertible proofs, that were brought forward by the talented speaker, must carry conviction to every disinterested and unprejudiced mind. It shows that the Directors of the East India Company have acted iu a manner more to be loolod for from the managers of the Anglo-Ben gales disinterested Loan and Life Assurance Com pany,G und er th e p res id en cy of the accomplished lo a N b . r o a d o y u o rt f ,'' of P Englishlll Bengal, l l e a m n e d nof hg h stand ingrather and thanfi G oiii positi on , to whom the British nation ha d delegated the important and honourable duty of go verning 150,000,000 of human beings who owe alle giance to, and are the faithful subjects of, our most gracious QUEEN. A more complete or crushing case w as, indeed, never brought before any tribunal than that submitted by Mr. SULLIVAN to the General Court of Directors and Proprietors of the East India Company, at the East India House, on Wed nesday last. The Honourable Gentleman completely stripped UN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1851. tho case of the fallacies and misconceptions that had THE SHARE MARKETS been brought forward, and on which persons, in other respects honourable men, have been giving their votes, merely supposing that they were supporting their Directors against troublesome attacks, and not for a moment imagining that they were direct parties to the grossest injustice, that they were refusing even a hearing to one whose claims, if fairly attended to, were absolutely irresistible. It is easy to vote in a particular manner, but if those who were holding up their hands against the motions of the most expe rienced, straightforward, and intelligent proprietors, were fully informed, they might hesitate before they adopted a course which rendered them to all intents and purposes participators in the crimes that have been committed. BRITISH RAILWAYS. Bailwaye. Paid. Nominal Prices• Aberdeen•• Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston, & E. Juncion Belfast and County Down Birmlng., WoiverhamP., It will be seen from what fell from Mr. SULLIVAN that by an arrangement entered into with Captain GRANT, the then Resident representing the British Government, a certain sum, viz., 31'2,000 rupees, equivalent to 31,2001. per annum, was set aside for the private expenses of PERTAUB SINGH and his family. This was kept in a separate treasury, under a separate treasurer, and was entirely controlled by the RAJA himself. The instructions of Council, under which Captain GRANT in duced the RAJA to accede to this restriction on his rights, stated that " the employment of this sum ought to be left to his Highness, with no other check than may be necessary to prevent his exceeding the amount allowed him." Can there be any question that this was private property, distinct as it possibly could be from the public revenues of, the Raj ? It might be a difficult question, under ordinary circumstances, to decide whether, where no such distinction had been made, the Sovereign for the time being would not be entitled to all the surplus revenues accumulated during his reign ; and the better opinion appears to be, that in a despotic mo ❑rchy, such as those existing in the East, be would be so ; but here, where there was a regular bargain, and a certain sum set aside for private ex penses, there could be no doubt that the party could dispose of his savings as he pleased. PERTAUB SINGH was economical. He probably knew the character of the very honourable Board with respect to its dealings with other native powers. He therefore lived sparingly, relinquished many of the expensive luxuries in which he might have indulged, and accumulated during the twenty years he occupied andStour Valley •• Birkenh., Lan., & Chesh June.,late 331.65. 84..

The precaution would have been more wise: and prudent had any measure of justice or equity been meted out. If sent into exile, he would still have had a handsome fortune. If he died, and that for the first time the sacred right of adoption were disputed, his chosen child would be preserved from the trials of poverty. Unfortunately, however, a new code of ethics was about to be esta blished in reference to his particular case on which he could not calculate. When the RAJA. was deposed, unjustly and un warrantably deposed, his private property was " take❑ care of " for him, but his right to it was re cognized. Sir J. CARNAC, the then Governor of Bombay, when directing that the deposition should be carried into effect, declared that PEztrAue SINGH was to be regarded as " a subject of sympathy and not of punishment," that "an allowance would be made from the Sattara revenues for the support and respectability of himself and those members of his family who may choose to accompany him. Further that all property belonging to him, BONA FIDE private, and not appertaining to the state, would, on his peaceable submission, not be interfered with." This was a fair contract. The provisions were cumu lative. He was to receive "an allowance from the Sattara revenues" for the support and respectability of himself and family, and, further, his private property. This completely disposes of the transparent hum bug that the annuity of 12,0001. a year (the allow ance above referred to), was in full of all demands, and that in receiving it, he relinquished all claim to the other part of his bargain. The Chairman himself acknowledged the justice of the case, and that ,he had formerly supported the claim. Indeed he could scarcely deny it, after the evidence under his own hand produced by Mr. SuL LIYAN ; but, good easy man, he would not re-open the question, and he would see a minor, unable to protect . his own interests, deeply wronged because a majority of proprietors had on a former occasion voted on a subject of which they were totally ignorant. This can only be classed with his other argument, that the RANEE, starved into submission, could dispose of the rights of the infant RAJA. Both points are too ridi culous to demand serious answers. The Court of Proprietors, however, according to the usual custom, supported the Court of Directors. The motion was rejected, although the Chair man acknowledged that the speech of the mover bad made a great impression on the meeting. The English people, who detest every species of injustice and oppression, will, however, ponder on these things, and not be quite so easily satisfied as the fortunate Proprietors of East India Stock.

The market was steady.—Rail way Shares were flat. The weekly return of the Bank of England, made up to the 15th inst., presents several changes that indicate a diminished inquiry for money. The advances upon Securities were smaller, and the withdrawal of private lodgments was not extensive, considering that the transfer books are closed. As to the notes out with the public, they were curtailed, both on account of the repayment of loans and the addtion to the balance standing to the credit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and which in the ordinary course will steadily increase as the quarter advances. The amount of the pre cious metals keeps very steady. Compared with the previous week the following alterations have occurred: — Notes Issued ... £27,711,690 Decrease... ... ••• 21,505 ... 3,616,367 Increase •• •• •• 2,105 Public Deposits ... 8,227,989 Increase ... 211,703 Other Deposits 9,287,826 Decrease .•• •• ••• ••• 75,266 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,024,992 Decrease ..• •.. 34.247 Government Securities ... 14,145,250 Decrease ••• ..• 446 Other Securities ... 12,904,218 Decrease ••• ... 126,336 Notes ... ... 8,956,255 Increase ... ... 217,115 Bullion ... •.• ... 14,416,141 Decrease ... ••• ••• 7,544 Active Circulation ... 18,755,435 Decrease ... •... 238,620 The negotiation of Bills of Exchange upon the principal cries of the continent was again effected yesterday afternoon upon somewhat lower terms, but mainly as regards Holland, Belgium, and France. The Hamburgh rates were slightly depressed. It is generally inferred that investments in foreign shares are the main cause of this re-action; but this granted, there can be no great harm provided the public dis criminate and purchase what is known to be valuable and cheap. Some people affect much needless anxiety when a little bullion is withdrawn from the Bank, forgetting that its profitable employment is highly desirable, nay, indispen sable, if the national wealth is to be augmented. On the motion of Mr. Divett a statement has been com piled of the cost of transmitting the mails and dispatches between Bombay and Suez, &c , by the East India Com pany during 1848 and 1849. We may arrange this in con densed form thus : Rest 1847-8. 1848-9 Total charges between Bombay and Suez ... ... ... £128,204 ... 137,255 Receipts from pas3engers and freight . 21,509 18,990 Total ... £106,695 ... 118,265 Ai a mercantile speculation, if we were to go upon this data, no private company could ever contract for the ser vice, especially as the bi-monthly communication from Aden to Bombay involved a further outlay of 42,5391. We have to bear in mind that 50,0001. is allowed by Government, and the total net loss to the company, therefore, would be re duced to 11'',8041. It may be worth the company's while to submit to the sacrifice, and no one but the proprietors or the taxed inhabitants of the East would have reason to complain if adequate accommodation were afforded to the public. Such, however, is not the case. The servics is unsatis factorily performed, and there are private companies who, for the like subsidy from Government, would undertake to do it better, and make it pay into the bargain. The small amount received from freight and passengers is the best possible coin menta y on the defectiveness of the arrangements. The accounts from the textile manufacturing districts re preseE t business as being rather quiet, but there were symp toms of improvement on Thursday, and some demand arose for the Eastern markets. The quantity of bullion exported from London during the week ending to-day has been 204,000 ounces of silver and 3,500 ounces of gold ; the former to Holland and Belgium, and the latter to France. The English Funds are still comparatively heavy, and without much doing. Console 96% % for Transfer, and 96% % fo:. Account. Exchequer-bills are lower again, being 525. to 555. premium.

Wright" being called on this morning, Mr. BOLT said he appeared for Miss Augusta Talbot, by her next friend, Dr. Doyle, who was her legal guardian, and who, it would be recollected, presented a petition to his Lordship, under his Lordship's direction, as to the residence of the young lady, during the London season. Now, last evening, they were served with a copy of a petition, pur porting to be in the name of the young lady, by the Hon. Mr. Craven Berkeley, as her next friend, but as they did not at the same time receive copies of the affidavits, they were not prepared to meet the statements and assertions con tained in them ; otherwise he should have been quite ready to proceed with the case this morning. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he understood the object of the two petitions to be precisely the same, viz , as to tee arrangement to be made for the young lady's residence. Therefore, in truth, there was nothing to contest which was material to the young lady. Mr. BOLT observed that there were matters alluded to in the petition which materially affected the character of other individuals; but he need hardly say that there was nothing which either directly or indirectly affected the conduct of the young lady. He was quite content to leave the circum stances to be elucidated by the young lady herself at an in terview with his Lordship, without having recourse to affidavits. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he saw the young lady in the autumn of last year when on a visit to Lord Shrewsbury, and she appeared an intelligent person, fully competent to exercise her own judgment. He was surprised, after what he heard, that she had gone to a convent. It had bean stated that she had gone there with his (the Lord Chancel cellor's) consent, but there was no foundation whatever for that statement. Mr. Berkeley had applied to him in his private room at the House of Lords for a habeas corpus to bring up the young lady, but he thought it only fair and proper not to consent to an irregular proceeding of that kind, and Mr. Berkeley then stated that he would present a peti tion to the House of Commons on the subject, which he left him to do. The only object of parties on the present occasion should be to promote the young lady's interest. Mr. BOLT admitted that that should be the object. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received a letter from Miss Talbot, which he would hand down to Mr. Bolt. Mr. BOLT observed that if the question was as to the young lady's residence during the last year of her minority, that would depend on anything which she might say her self ; but matters had been introduced into the affidavits by persons who were comparative strangers; he therefore thought the case should be allowed to stand over. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he did not think it right to leave the young lady in a convent, but some arrangement ought to be made for her comfort during the remainder of her minority. If a reference were made to the Master, he would report to him (the Lord Chancellor) who was the most proper person to have the care of her. Mr. BOLT said his side were quite ready to proceed now with his Lordship's direction, but it was only justice that they should have an opportunity of answering the matter contained in the affidavits of the other side. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was important that some arrangement should be speedily „made for securing the young lady's comfort during her minority. Mr. BOLT repeated that his side was quite ready to take his Lordship's direction with regard to that. Mr. Woon could not agree with his Learned Friend that the examination of the young lady would be sufficient to meet all the circumstances of the case, because there were facts sworn to with reference to an interview which took place in the convent between the young lady and one of the petitioners, as well as to certain admissions said to have been made by the superior of the convent at that interview, which it was important for the ends of justice should be fully investigated. It was also important that the prayer of Mr. Craven Berkeley that he might have free access to the young lady should be supported by evidence. Mr. BOLT said, of course, with regard to that prayer, his Lordship would consult the young lady's own feelings in dis posing of that. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, there must be a reference to the Master to prepare some scheme for securing the young lady's comfort during the rest of her minority, and therefore Mr. Bolt might take an order according to the prayer of his client's petition. Mr. BOLT suggested that, after this decision, the matter had better stand over till Wednesday, and in the mean time perhaps his Lordship would be pleased to consider whether the discussion should take place in public or private. His side had nothing to conceal and nothing to be afraid of. All that they were anxious about was to secure the interest and comfort of the young lady. The LoRD CHANCELLOR observed, that of course all future discussion would mainly have reference to the prayer of Mr. Craven Berkeley's petition to be allowed access to the young lady as her next friend. Mr. BOLT hoped, under these circumstances, his client would have an opportunity of replying to the allegations contained in the petition. The LoRD CHANCIMLOR said— Certainly. The petition stated that the young lady was a postulant; but the peti tion of the young lady stated that she was not, nor did she enter the convent with the view of becoming one. Mr. Woos) reminded his Lordship that the abbess, or su perior of the convent, had admitted that the young lady was a postulant. The LORD CHANCELLOR was at a loss to see how that could be, seeing the young lady had already expressed her willingness to come to town and enter into society. Mr. BOLT said that was perfectly true, and all that his client wanted was, that arrangements should be immediately made for her entering society in a suitable manner. Mr. PARKER appeared for the Earl of Shrewsbury, and informed the Court that there were statements in the affidavits which his Lordship was anxious to have an opportunity of contradict ng. Mr. Woon hoped that his client's petition would be refer red to the Master with that of the other side. Mr. BOLT objected to this. The LORD CHANCELLOR said Mr. Craven Berkeley eha.nd certainly rendered the young lady and the Court a !er t vi ni c a a bringing the matter before him. It was he w h° he c onvent, urs t e , the Court aware that the young lady wa s in otwthstands and he was therefore entitled to be heard, n i ' o n to him in t ing that the young lady expressed great aversi the letters which he had received from her. Mr. P. Woofs reminded his Lordship that the letter was written from the convent. o further into the The LORD CHANCELLOR declined matter now. There was quite suffnicihteontg afore the Master. before him now to send Mr. Craven Berkeley's petititole further hearing of the Mr. BOLT then proposed that a de b Y e " in town until case should be adjourned till mixt Mr. P. Woon said his client l e d d n n Thursday, and ultimately that day was fixed instead of Wed nesday. in the course of the conversation, The LORD CWANCELLon, 0 a n order wa s made whereby the stated that some time ago er to the custody of Lady Shrews young lady was han ded bury to be taken abroad, ebvut instead of that course being fol as place d in the convent without an y y lowed the ou ng lady been ma de to the Court sit the subject. app li ca ti o n having oung la dy last autumn he had a conver - When he saw the ysubject,e then but his in contemplation, conversation was sation with her on the g tarriabut c hiefly confined t o un der the circumstances it was not thought de s i ra bl e th at i t should to o ut. ke plad ace. been instructed that his Lo r d s hi p approve d b Mr. R h certainly did so far as e of all that th en occurred.

Mr. BoL T—If your Lordship thinks it d es i ra bl e t o see h er , she well c C ome HA to town. RD NCELLOR—What d o y ou p ropose ? Mr. BOLT—We will send for her as soon as possible. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Of course I should not wish her to leave the convent without knowing where she is going. His Lordship, after some further conversation, said it was not a d v isable that the young lady should be involved in a civil contest for the gratification of other persons. Already had her name been made the subject of much public comment, though she stood perfectly clear as regards any attack on her own character. Mr. WOOD—If the gentleman calling himself the Bishop of Clifton had abstained from publishing any letters in the newspapers, it would be extremely satisfactory. I cannot believe that such an i n di v id ua l has any right to style himself a Christian bishop.—(Laughter.) The LORD Cstasseemant —I must say there is a great dis drepancy between that letter and the ono I received from the young lady. Mr. Woos—He states in his letter most distinctly that she is not a postulant. The LORI) CHANCELLOR—And the young lady saga she never contemplated becoming anything of the kind. I think it is very desirable that while this matter is pesiding news paper contests should be avoided. Mr. horn—We have done everything to avoid it, but of course we have no control over the gentlemen alluded to. Si he LORI) CHANCELLOR—PubIic discussion in the news papers was not unnatural in the first instance, with the view of calling attention to the case ; but it had better be now avoided. His Lonustur then handed to Mr. Bolt the letter of Miss Talbot, observing that it was just such a one as he ahould expect from a young lady in her peculiar situation. Mr. WOOD—Will your Lordship allow me to see it? The LoRD CHANCELLOR Certainly. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned until Thursday next. Ai DON.
