PiRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The investigation at present carried on by. the Committees of both Houses of Parliament on the subjtct of the property of the Irish Church must be very incomplete and unsatisfactory in its results, if it shall be continued to be limited, as heretofore it has been, to TitbeS, without regard to the lands in the enjoyment of Bi , hops. Apart from all other considerations, it has always appeared to us that the tenure under which those lands are held, with its legal incidents, depriving the occupier of all possibi lity of acquiring a permanent interest in the soil, and subjecting him to the arbitrary discretion of the Ecclesiastic under whom he holds, constitutes in i self a most important hindrance to the progress of iTsprovement in Ireland. Englishmen have little idea of the great extent of the territory of Ireland held under this very objectionable tenure, or that in fart the gentry of several counties—Armagh for ex ample—have no better than a mere twenty-one years' lease of their es•ate3; that is to say, any Bi shop who chooses to run his life against the lease may reduce one or all of the gentlemen on the church's lands to a state of absolute pauperism. The eccentric Lord Rokeby took it into his head to decline renewing the leases under him in Derry, by which process the revenues of that See were raised to their present enormous amount. There is nothing to prevent any other madman, profligate, or specu lator, on the Irish Bench from making away in like manner with the properties and interests derived under the Church in his particular Bishopric. In a constitutional point of view, the dominion which the Church, by these means, exercises over the lay proprietors of the country, is of the most dan gerous nature. Time was, when the Grand Jury of the county of Armagh, having entered into Resolutions condemnatory of the tithe system,the Irish Primate (Stewart) caused it to be well undestood that he should not renew, for any mo neyed consideration, the lease of any gentleman a parry to tho-e resolutions who might presume to stir further in the matter. The grand jury of the county of Kilkenny have lately ventured upon a similar declaration against tithes; tin e shall see whe ther they will meet with a like menace. There is, however, one See, of which the Bishop has thought fit to exert his arbitrary discretion as to the renewal of leases, to a degree which demands public notice and inquiry. What may be the motive of the Right Reverend ll:gnitary we do not know; but we do know that a Legislature which suffers him or any other Prelate to sport in such a manner with the property and happiness of a large population fails to . . perform one of its prime duties. The See to which we allude is-_that of Kilmore, and the present Dio. swan is„tane of a family (the Beresfords), the Enem here of which have long constituted a sort of close .- - Ecclesiastical Corporation in Ireland. We are in formed that renewals have been refused of the leases extending over no less than three-fourths of the church lands in that diocese. There are now two Irish Bishops) of that family, there were formerly three, to say nothing of the Deans, Sub-deans, Archdeacons, and Prebendaries, bearing that truly Protestant name.—Afornhig Chronicle. _The Irish tithe question still appears to hang very heavily on Mr. Stanley's hands. The Committee, after a very stormy debate on Tuesday week last, having reported piogress, and obtained leave to sit again, we expected that the debate would, ere this have been resumed. Whenever that may take place it will probably last another night ; for the small, but firm phalanx of Irish Members that opposed the going into Committee, appear determined to fight the ground inch by inch. It is certainly their duty to do so, and to insist on having all the evidence bearing on the question brought before them, pre viously to thttr undertaking the serious considera tion of a matter, vitally indeed important to the coun try. Nothing can be more reasonable than that the House should not on such a subject legislate in a state of obscurity which, even the lights afforded by those eminent Statesmen, Mr. Stanley and Sir Robert Peel, have not had any tendency to remove. We regret to observe that these last-mentioned gen tlemen," par nobile fratrum," have indeed added nothing to tle stock of information as yet collected on the subject, though it is long since the latter has fatied his " prentice han" on Ireland, and the former ;0 still engaged in learning his trade in that country. That ho has much yet to learn, no one can doubt, who has read his speeches and resolutions in the House of Commons cri Tuesday week last. He is, indeed, eloquent in describing the distrea,es of the clergy ; while against the poor, hungry, houseless, friendless peasantry, he prepares himself with a Bill to coerce them into tithe payments. With him the magnified wants of the sinecurist are the first object of regard, a hi!e the wretched condition of the Irish population is kepi entirely out of the picture. But let us remind Mr. Stanley " that it has been the policy of every wise Government, of which history furnishes us with an example, to cherish and support, and thereby improve, the condition of the mass of the people, in order that they might have an interest in the defence and preservation of the State." But a principle directly the contrary has, we regret to say, always prevailed in Ireland. On the present occasion, Mr. Stanley has certainly be gun at the wrong end; and if he does not speedily consider what he is about, and consult with more experienced men, he will plunge the country in Wood, or be obliged disgracefully to retrace his ;taps. The Irish Members must feel their strength, and the mass of power which they represent in the Imperial Parliament. They will not, they can not, fwe de an inch. The last resolution brought forward by Mr. Stanley should have been the first aottl only proposition made to the House; and in stead of commutiag tithes for land, it should have been proposed to abolish them, and in lieu of them to lay on a provision for the poor. We tell him, and let him carefully read over all the evidence that has been collected in the Committee, and he will agree with us, not only that tithes must be given up, but also every attempt to enforce pay ment of a single shilling of them !—and that a le gislative provisio n f or the' poor must be sub-tituted in place of that odious impost, In such a measure as proposed, it has now become the interest of both A lavirrlimen and landlords cordially to concur. The attorch, if it wishes to preserve the million of acres whiph tvotild still remain for it—and the landlords, if they be desirous to secure their rents, and preserve the peace and tranquillity of the country. To the Church we would say—your life interests shall be preserved—but the establishment must he new mo delled—and in place of sinecurists and pluralists, we must have a resident working Clergy. "No Cu rates at 501. a-year, nor absentees at 2,001 —no starving zeal—no lazy affluence." We would tell the Irish landlords, whose rents are not the propor tion, but nearly the whole of the produce, that they are not " mere land merchants"—that they have other duties to perform, as well as rents to receive ; and that if they wish to preserve their rents, they mutt 00 longer oppress and neglect their tenantry. " Ern- ploy the people, don't hang them," was the advice given to Irish gentlemen a century back. The unenvi able state of landlords in Ireland is still that of a mere isolated being, occasionally to be found dwelling with selfish ap a th y on the oasis of the moral waste that surrounds him—" without friends or influence"— " the peasantry, without interest, almost without livelihood in the country—nothing to defend—no thing to love—despairin g arid desperate—ripe and ready for change"—and yet this is the peasantry among whom Mr. Stanley talks of " vindicating the authority of the Law !" is the law to them 9 What is it in Ireland ? " Not a reruge to the poor, but a luxury to the rich"—where we find" the great man and the strong man executing, and the poor and weak suffering the Law." Mr. Stanley's last Resolution, vague and empty as it is—should then, as we propose to amend it—have been the only pro position that can now be brought forward for the grave consideration of men honestly wishing toserve Ireland, and secure her connexion with Great Britain. His Re solution to coerce must be altogether abandoned, whatever other he might adopt. Indeed we donbt much whether any advance of money to the clergy itll t or any means to replace it, would at all be necessarv, for we are persuaded, and the opinions of many influ ential men, both in and out of Parliament, confirm us in the opinion, that if the question was entertained crid put forward by his Majesty's Ministers on the road, equitable, and enlightened principle that we save advocated, there would be an end to all further opposition on the part of the people,and there would exist no further necessity for commencing a servile war against the population of Ireland. We hope, however, that Mr. Stanley will reconsider and re trace his steps before we again take up the subject, and in the meantime that the Irish Members will stand firm, and reflect that at such a critical junc ture as the present, " Ireland expects that every man of them will do his duty."--lforning Chron. It cannot he doubted that the object of referring Mr. Sadler's Bill, to regulate infant labour, to a " Select Committee," is to destroy its efficiency, and make it the sort of thing which will not alarm the cupidity of the task-masters nor afford any pro tection to their slaves. Select Committees are only useful to investigate disputed facts, to determine by evidence the value of conflicting statements, and to furnish the House with the result. If a Bill involve only a question of principle, why should it be re ferred to a Select Committee, instead of being sent before a Committee of the whole House ? Surely, although the House may often require to have the assistance of a Select Committee in ascer taining facts-, it is always supposed to know the principles on which it ought to legislate. For if the House must be supplied with principles as well as facts, before it can undertake to pass a Bill, it is unfit for the task of legislation. In the case of Mr Sadler's Bill, as an Evening Paper (the Standard) has justly observed, the facts are not denied. It is not disputed that children of a very tender age are worked 14, 16, or 18 hours in the 24. Is it not enough for the House of Commons to know this to induce it to interpose its authority to pre vent this grevious oppression of the helpless beings who are the victims of our factory system ? Can not every man of common sense understand, without requiring any special evidence in the matter, that a system which leaves the young so few hours for rest and sleep—none for instruction—none for the health ful recreations of childhood—must be injurious to health and morals, and therefore ought not to be permitted by any Legislature that did not regard the rights of humanity and the interests of civilisa tion as of no importance compared with what poli tical economists call the " production of national wealth," but which, in fact, if it he a production of wealth at all, is so at a price which makes gold itself too dear, by creating, in far greater proportion, pub lic misery, disease, crime, and debasement. We are not surprised at the Chancellor of the Exchequer lending himself to the proposition for a " Select Committee." The political economists having called for it, what else could the colleague of the luminary of the !Macculloch school do than consent ? Mr. Poulett Thomson, though an advocate for what is miscalled " free-trade," is not quite so well con vinced that the children of British parents should he emancipated from the chains of a system of bondage in the heart of England, not sur passed, in its power to demoralise and intl ct misery and suffering, by even West Indian slavery. Who can wonder that Lord Althorp sympathises rather with the task-masters than with the infant slave, when it is recollected what an illumination his mind has recently received upon the subject of the brutal and barbarous system of flogging in the army ? We observe that when Mr. Hunt said, in the debate on Mr. Sadler's Bill, it would be a libel on savages, or even on the beasts of the forest, to say that they would allow their offspring to be treated with th e crue l t y an d oppression, which re duced the children of the poor, in the manufactur ing districts, to the lowest state of wretchedness and degradation, there was laughter in the House. Gra cious Heaven I what a theme for the Legislators of a civilised country to make a subject of merriment And this is a House of Commons elected chiefly under a Reform excitement, for the purpose of pass ing the Reform Bill I We are not told through what extent of benches the laugh extended—but, whe ther it came from the Ministerial or Opposition side, it is equally creditable to the good feeling and good taste that enlivened such a tale of misery with laughter !—iLforning Herald. A morning paper has been made the dupe of a malignant party-spirit, in its statement respecting the St. Patrick's dinner. It is quite monstrous, surely, to defend the general absence of the Irish Members of the House of Commons, on the ground, Ist, of the Duke of Northumberland, w h o h a d been Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and a frequent and mu nificent benefactor of the charity, taking the chair on this occasion ; and 2d, on that of Lord London derry, who came like any other purchaser of a ticket, having made a foolish speech. Who could foretell that such a speech—which, by the way, stopped short of political allusions—would be uttered? It is, indeed, an Irish excuse for Irish absentees, that they faded to succour the infant children of their por countrymen, because of Lord Londonderry's gesta'ion of a discourse about which no human being could know any thing until it was in the act of being delivered ! and then, who could prevent it ? Again, the Committee are accused of having chosen the Duke of Northumbei land for president, because he was a Tory. Good God ! is the cup of charity to be thus poisoned by infusions of pan y venom ? Let Whig Noblemen come forward with offers to lecept the Presidency, and then blame the mana ._ gets if such condescending offers be refused. The rule of the Society, first proposed by the lamented Duke of Kent, was, that the Presidents should be chosen alternately from the ranks of Whig and Tory. At times, unfortunately, it is found impossible to act upon this policy, inasmuch as the chair of such a meeting is a troublesome task in the eyes of many Noblemen, and the Committee, anxious only to be nefit the funds from which the schools for the un fortunate children are supported, have been gene rally too happy to invite the presence as a chairman of any respectable Nobleman whose kindness may lead him to undertake the momentary office. The standing law of this beneficent institution, and that from which almost the whole of its prosperity may be traced, is a religious and unvary ing abstinence from politics of every description at the meetings on the anniversary of the pa tron saint. At this last dinner, the absence of every individual connected with a Whig Administration, and for no other reason apparently but the name of the Duke of Northumberland as chairman, is the first circumstance which has ever given a political colour to the St. Patrick's meetings. When Whig Noblemen have presided, there was no sulk or mo roseness displayed by the Tories, who have in such instances attended, and given liberal subscriptions. It is the worst and most inhuman spirit of faction, which indulges itself to the injury of the helpless poor. We must set our correspondent "T. B." right : the "abuse" was not in the choice of a pre sident, for we presume that no charity committee in England would not have been proud of the Duke of Northumberland's protection ; the " abuse" was in the conversion of his Grace's presidency into a pretext for staying away, on the part of those whose duty it was to be present.—Times. A well-conceived and very ably- xritten pamphlet has just been published by Mr. Lambert, M.P. for the county of Wexford, to which it will assuredly not be useless to point the attention of our readers. It is a letter on the Currency, addressed to Lord Althorp, and forms another arrow in the quiver of hose who, like ourselves, have uniformly con- dermied the fatal measures of 1819 and 1826 ; the former of which changed almost the whole paper currency of the country from paper to metal, and the latter of which deprived the active portion of the community of even the few remaining advantages which were left by it to enable them to struggle against an enormous and increased debt —failing means, and decay ing commerce. In all the views of Mr. Lambert we very cordially join, as those which we have not only long entertained, but endeavoured as strenuously to support, with one exception;—and that that Mr. Lambert conceives gold to pt secs qualities of a different nature from common marketable commo dities, and deprecates its exportation as injurious $o the .country. Now- that gold, by legislative tmay nactments, be made to possess qualities hich are not only not inherent in it, but hich do not, and ought not to belong to it, tve are far from wishing to deny ; but gold is nevertheless a marketable commodity, and may, we are prepared to maintain, be exported or imported from or into this or any other country, without any injury to either. If an artificial value be given to it, the country, of course, which com mits such blunder, and thereby enhances the value of the metal, must pay for it ; but there is nothing, beyond such an arrangement, to take the metal out of the list of common commodities. Gold is nei ther found or transported without labour—that la bour must be paid for in something—and also if exported from, after being imported into this country, we take it for granted that neither Mr. Rothschild nor Mr. Baring, nor any other money-changers, give it away gratis—that they receive something in exchange more satisfactory to them, and, in con sequence, more valuable to the country. Leav ing this disputed question, however, at issue be tween us, cs e cordially concur, as we have already observed, in the propriety of all the other points on which Mr. Lambert has insisted with so much truth, earnestness, and justice. We agree with him that a silver currency is far preferable to a gold one, because it is less variable in point of value— that the measure of 1819 was one of great iniquity —that the destruction of the small notes was most hasty, ill-advised, and ill-timed—that the public burthens have been greatly increased by the change in the currency—and that nothing but a change from gold to silver, and of silver represented by a duly authenticated and safe paper currency, can possibly remedy either the ills under which the State labours at present, or the still more tremendous ills which evidently await it, should these measures not be adopted.—Advertiser.

A shocking murder of an inoffensive man, named Wil liam Marriott, was committed at Northampton on Satur day night by a soldier belonging to one of the companies of the ISth Royal Irish, now stationed in the barracks in that town. It appears that, Saturday being St. Patrick's Day, the soldiers woe allowed to quit the barracks as early as three o'clock in the morning, at which hour they went round the town, accompanied by their band, who played a variety of popular national airs. Many of the soldiers afterwards gave themselves up to drinking, and in the evening two of them, considerably inflamed with liquor, went into the Plumber's Arms, in Sheep -street, but were almost immediately turned out by the landlord, who, seeing their condition, refused to supply them with any more beer. On the outside of the house, from some cause which has not yet been clearly explained, they got into a quarrel with two men, upon whom they drew their bayonets, but were happily at that time prevented from doing any mischief. They then proceeded onwards towards the barracks, and on their way wantonly attacked several persons whom they met, and from whom they re ceived not the slightest provocation. A man named Brown they ran after with drawn bayonets, and as he escaped up a court, one of the soldiers, rimed M'Sherry, struck at him with his biyonet, but hit the wall instead of him, and that with such force, as to chip off a large piece of a brick. The unfortunate deceased Lt this instant was passing quietly along towards the Market-place, when M•Sherry seeini, him, called out, 6 6 there goes one of the -," and running after him, knocked him to the giound, where he had no sooner Ellen, than the other soldier, whose name is 111 6 Caver, struck his bayonet into his temple, exclaiming as he did it, 6' by Jasus I have skewered him !" The two soldiers then ran off, but were apprehended shortly afterwards in the barracks. The deceased was c arr i e d to the Infirtnary, where he died the following morning. It appears the bayonet had pierced the brain, part of which protruded from the wound. The two soldiers who stand charged with this serious crime are both of them young recruits. ' The deceased has left a wife and four young children. Baron Gurney is the first dissenter appointed to the rank of Judge since the repeal of the Test and Corpora. tion Acts. He is a Baptist, and has been for many years a member in full communion with the Raptist Church in Maze Pond ; Southwark. LEWES ASSIZES, MARA2O. ~ rite assizes commenced -this - morning . The charge to the Grand Juty was delivered by Sir N. TINDAL. The 'learned Judge lamented that though the calendar was n et numerous, it contained several offences of a very aggrava ted nature. The first to which his Lordship alluded was the case of Ann Kennet, charged as an accessory after the fact, in the murder C. Holloway (the wife of Holloway who was executed for the murder last winter, whose cave is already well known to the public.) There were also three eases of arson, a crime which had sprung up only of late years, and which must have its origin in the most dark and malignant feelings. There were also two cases of violence offered to females. On these cases the Grand Jury would use caution in the examination of the evidence, and the same observations would apply to a charge of a de testable nature, which was also in the calendar. It was better, where such cases could not be fully made out against the accused, that the details should not be made public. There was another case for forgery. The re mainder of the charges were of a minor character, and it was creditable to the police of the county that they were so few in number. John Skinner, aged 33, was convicted of stealing a lamb on the 16th of January last, at Battle, the property of Mr. Quaife. The offence was clearly proved.—Death recorded. The Court has got through several cases of no import anc, and at Nisi Prius nothing has yet been tried of public interest. The calendar contains a list of forty eight prisoners, and there are twenty. eight civil actions, SHREWSBURY ASSIZES. (Before Mr. Justice TAUNTON.) CRIM. CON. -- STREW, 'ESQ. V. OFFLEY CREWE, ESQ _ _ Mr. JERVIS stated that there were some subjects which overwhelmed the mind, and some distresses which it was impossible: o describe. This was a case in which these had occurred. This was an action for a criminal conver sation, accompanied with every circumstance of aggrava tion. The plaintiff resided at Tunetall Hall, and possessed a fortune of about 4,0001. a year. The defendant was the son of the Rev. Offley Crewe, who had large prefer ment in the Church, and a very considerable estate in Montgomeryshire. It was an affecting circumstance that the parties were both the only sons of clergymen ; they had been schoolfellows, and were membeis of the same college. The plaintiff had met the lady at Buxton, she being then a beautiful girl of 18, and he soon after mar ried, in the year 1818, her beauty and her accomplish ments brine her only dowry. The defendant had also married a lady of great beauty and accomplishments, the daughter of Admiral Lake. The plaintiff and defendant resided at a distance of only a mile and a half; and that friendship which had commenced at school, and had been matured at college, continued after the marriage of both; and scarcely a day passed without some intercourse be tween the families. The lady who was the subject of this inquiry, had a family of six children, the youngest not much more than a year old. The defendant, too, WU a parent ; and it would appear that, on the 13th January last, in consequence of suspicions, the servants resolved to watch the defendant ; for the plaintiff hsrl, not the slight e st suspicion of th e infeleli•y of his wife.:.pu that day Mr. Clive had invited friends, some of Whom were to take beds at his house, as they were to join in the chase the fol lowing day. The plaintiff was invited, and the servant who brought the note mentioned that he had also a note for the defendant, and the latter coining to lunch at the plaintiff's on that II ay, there was no doubt that the assigna tion was made. It would be proved that when the hour of eleven arrived, the defendant said he was obliged to re turn home, to meet a person from 'Wales, who came on business respecting his estates. The servants of the plaintiff suspecting sotne , hing which he would not state, it was arranged that the butler should station him self at a window which commanded a view of the plaintiff's bed-room door ; and that the ke?per and coachman should station themselves in other places. Mrs. Strey had ordered the servants to bed, but they went to the places appointed to watch, and at about a quarter past eleven o'clock MIA. Strey came out of her room in her night-dress, and, after listening for a short time, she went down and unlocked the outer door, and then went to her bedroom again, leaving her room-door a-jar. After this a horse was heard, and the defendant was seen to enter Mrs. Strey's bedroom. The next morning Mrs. Strey got up about four o'clock, and she inquired if any of the servants had been up. He could not describe the sensations that the plaintiff experirnced when the matter was communicated to him. However, under the advice of some friends, the plaintiff had to inform his unhappy wife that she must quit his house for ever. The Monday following, the plaintiff sent her away in his own carriage, attended by his oam medical man, to her mother at Cheltenham. His client might say, in the language of the Psalmist, " Oh, it was not an open enemy alai has done me this dis honour, neither was it an adversary, but it was even thou, my companion." Another aggravation was the plaintiff's children, the eldest, a daughter, scarcely old enough to know the loss she had sustained, and the youngest (a son) was born only last January twelvemonths, and there was but too much reason to fear that he was the son of the 45ft.ndant. What must be the feelings of the plaintiff when, in this child, be saw in him the likeness of the man who bad injured him so irreparably? The plaintiff had had no pursuits but in his family. He had bad no happiness but in the wife he had adored and the children that he had loved. He might well say, speaking for his client, " Had it pleased Heaven To try him with affliction; had it rain'd All kinds of sores and shames on his bare head ; Steep'd him in poverty to the very lips ; Given to captivity him and his utmost hopes ; He would have found in some part of his soul A drop of patience : but, alas ! to make A fixed figure for the hand of scorn To point his slow and moving finger at ! Yet he could bear that too ; well, very well ; But there, where he had garner'd up his heart; 'Where either he must live, or bear no life"— If he should be shown to have been the most affectionate of hu-bands, the kindest of fathers, and the sincerest of friend, no damages would be sufficiently large to compen sate him for the injury he had received. He addressed husbands and fathers, and would ask any one of them if a awn of 20,0001., or indeed any other pecuniary compen sation was a sufficient atonement for ouch an injary ? Henry Clive said—l live at the Stryche. On Friday, the 13th of January, the plaintiff and defendant dined with me, and the plaintiff remained all night. Before dinner the defendant said he could not remain all night, as a per son from Wales had come upon business. He left my house at about eleven o'clock. The following morning the keeper came to see the plaintiff, who was at breakfast. He was called out. He seemed much depressed and con fused. I had opportunities of seeing that the plaintiff and his wife appeared to live together on most affectionate terms, He conducted himself with the greatest kindness. Cross-examined—The defendant has a wife and five children, and he lives with his father, who is more than eighty years of age. The statement in the Counsel's speech was corroborated by the evidenc, of the coachman, game-keeper, nurse, house-maid and butler of the plaintiff. Mr. Thomas Thomas Charlton said—l am at Eton. I am the nephew of the plaintiff. The 13th of January I went to bed at about ten; my uncle was at Mr. Clive's ; the butler and coachman came to consult me before it was light ; next morning my uncle came home, and I saw him before be had seen Mrs. Strey; he appeared much agi tated ; I saw him after he had seen Mrs. Strey ; he ap peared.very unwell, and be has not recovered his health and spirits since; my uncle and aunt seemed to live very happilytogether, and they appeared very fond of the children. Mr. John Cadine, an architect, said—l was employed by the plaintiff to make alterations at his house. The alterations came to between 4,0001- and 5,0001. I occa sionally dined with the plaintiff and Mrs. Strey; their manner was affectionate, and they appeared fond of their children. The Rev. George Maddox said—l knew, the plaintiff and defendant at school and at college; they continued their intimacy there ; they lived near each other after they left college, and, to the best of my knowledge, they have continued their intimacy up to the last year. Mr. Williams said—l ant a surgeon. I was called in to attend Mrs. Strey on the I fth of January. She was in a state of insensibility, and it would have been mist& that she should have been removed on that day. The plaintiff was in the greatest distress int 4ginable. Sir Andrew Corbet, Bart.—The plaintiff was remark ably kind to his wife, and was a very affectionate father. Lady Corbet said the plaintiff and his wife seemed to be very affectionate towards each other. They appeared very fond of their children. Mrs. Tayleure—The plaintiff and Mrs. Strey appeared to live on most affectionat e terms. Mr. Warren, a ent of the Norwich Insurance-office, proved that the defendant had insured his furniture and farming buildings at Llandinnon, in Alontgomeryshire, at 1,4001. The will of Mr. Bagot Read was put in to chew that the defendant's f a th er h ad a life interest in an esta'e in Wales, and the defendant the remainder after his father's decease. Mr. CAMPRELL. implored the Jury not to be led away by tie Learned Counsel for the plaintiff, who had used some very beautiful quotations, which, however, were the yommon places of all el im. con. causes, and so much Matter of technicality that they are generally settled the night before the trial at the consultation. It was proved that the parties lived affectionately together, and had shown the same affection to their children down to the very last. Did not this lead to an inference that the defendant had been exposed to temptations which he ought to have re sisted, but could not ? He admitted that no blame what ever was to he imputed to the plaintiff, and it was not the defendant's wish that any blame should be at tached to Mrs. Strey; but still it was necessary for the Jury to ascertain whether, in fact, there had been any if the arts of seduction used. There were no long correspondences, no love verses, no poems, written to Mrs. Strey, nor prayers composed by him for the use of her children ; for these were all species of seduction that he had heard of. No ; they found this lady walking with the defendant in the shrubbery, his arm being round her waist, and she nothing loth; and he would appeal to the good sense of the Jury, whether this was not cogent evi dence that the advances, in the first instance, came from Mrs. Strey? What sort of woman must Mrs. Strey have been, who could keep up this sort of double intercourse with her husband and her paramour ; she still keeping up the appearances of the fond wife and the tender mother? The Jury retired, and after a short consultation, re m:led a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5,000/. DERBY ASSIZES, MARCH 19. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice J. PARSE. ) THE DERBY RIOTS. William Hudson, and the other ten prisoners acquitted o❑ Saturday of breaking into the borough gaol in October last, and rescuing a felon named Keeling, were again placed at the bar this morning, charged on another indict. ment with rescuing another felon on the same occasion. The prisoners entered into the necessary recognizsnces to keep the pe ace for twelve months, and then received a verdict of Acquittal. They were next arraigned on a charge of riot, upon which also no evidence being offered, they were Acquitted. A number of other prisoners, together with `Wardle and Mosedale, two of the above, were then placed at the bar, and were about to be arraigned on a charge of riot, with an attempt to break open the County gaol, when a right of traverse was claimed on behalf of some of them ; and ul timately it was agreed that the trial of all of them should be postponed until next assizes, the defendants giving bail for their appearance in Court to take their trial at that time. The bail required for each defendant was two sure ties for 201. each and themselves in 40/. William Mettam, aged 34, was indicted for riotously and tumultuously assembling, with divers other persons unknown, on the Bth of October last, at Chaddesden, and breaking the windows of Henry Sacheverell Wilmot, Esq. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Robert Jackson, aged 38, one of the two men whom the mob in , isted on being released from the Borough-gaol, on Sunday, the 9th of October last, was indicted for having riotously assembled with divers other persons in the streets of Derby on the night of the Bth of October, and broke Mr. Cock's windows. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. N. CLARKE here observed that there was another prisoner charged with a similar offence ; but he confessed, after all he had observe] of the disposition that prevailed respecting these riots, he did not think he ought to waste the time of the Court in offering any evidence for the pro secution, as he had no hope whatever of obtaining, upon any evidence a verdict of guilty. Mr. Justice PARKE said that the Learned Counsel would act as he thought proper; all that he (Mr. Justice Parke) would say was, that he was ready to proceed with the trial of the prisoner. _ _ Joseph Tunnicliffe, aged 18, was then arraigned on an indictment, charging him with t ,e commission of a riot, together with other persons, on the 18th October last. ___. ....,.. The prisoner was, no evidence having been offered, pro nounced Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HO USE. Scott, Brown and Taylor, 'three boys, were charged with having entered the warehouse of Mr. Adam•, orange merchant, Pudding-lane, and packed up about 600 oranges, with intent to steal them. The boys are all Billingsgate thieves, and the entrance was effected by one of the smallest inserting his Land between some iron bars at the top of the door, and then by unfastening the upper part. One of them got in and packed up the oranges in bags, while the two others re mained outside as scouts. These two were observed by a man who was passing, who suspected something wrong was going forward, he concealed himself, and heard Smith, who did not appear more than 12 or 13, call ~t it to Brown. " Hold hard ; there's two covies twigging us." The other answered, " You -- fool, they're looking towards the water." " Well, then," said Smith, " get the swag ready, and Dick and me will stall it off." They then went up a gateway, which led to the premises of Mr. Adams, and witness, having procured assistance, succeeded in capturing three, one of the gang having made his escape. The street-keeper, Buckstone, knew them all to be young thieves, so the LORD MAYOR diretted they should be sent to Bridewell for one month each, and the oranges returned to Mr. Adams. CHARLES-STREET.—It is rumoured that many political plants have been contrived at Mr. Plantas, which may go far to produce unpleasant schisms among the clique, and the public may soon have another proof that " a house di vided against itself cannot stand." Some of the meetings at the Ex-Secretary's have been very lively, rather too much so, whilst others have been most somniferous. Combinations of this sort, where so many are struggling for loaves and fishes, too few for the gang, seldom last long. The rich members grow tired of being " drawn upon," and the poor ones get restive and throw oft' allegiance to those who can do nothing but condole or promise. A scene the other day in Charles street reminds us of a humorous description by Lord Byron, of a similar party meeting at which he once attended at Lord Moira's. The explanations were anything but explanatory, and the views of the party were provokingly opaque. Lord Byron was overcome with tedium and yawned to a neighbouring nobleman, " Well, is this all—or what shall we do next ?" " Why, wake the Duke of Norfolk," was the reply, "for he snores so — that there's no hearing anything said." Byron, however, did not take the trouble of waking the Duke; but being awake himself, he walked of, resolving never again to be present at such a meeting. New York papers bring the following intel ligence of a most destructive flood:—=it falls to our lot to-day to record the most extensive and destructive flood which has occurred in the history of this country. The Ohio river corn. less,ly Saturdaytill eight at o r n n i n h g t beganwhan it menced rising at thi s pl ace o n Thursday last. On Friday, so o n m rt rate to f twelve after twelve o ' c l oc k , i t b egan to overflow its banks. The wa t er rose at the a iSeless an ss hourrapit till when it came to a stand, and soon after began to fall. The precise height of the river above low-water mark has not yet been ascertained. It is said to have risen higher than within the recollection of the oldest person now living; it being from five to six feet higher than it was at the memorable floods of 1784 and 1813. The destruction of property occasioned by this calamity is beyond calculation, The whole valley of the Ohio, from its source to its mouth, within the reach of this tremendous freshet, must present one uninterrupted scene of waste, desolation, and distress. The farms of the rich bottoms have been swept ()lithe fences, and dwellings, barns, corn and meat-houses, with their contents, and the stock. All the towns and villages along the river have been wholly, or in part, inundated ; and many of the buildings, with all their contents, have been carried away. All the low part of our town has suf. fered severely—it is impossible at this time to estimate the loss of property ; forty-two houses, we are informed, mostly small frames, have been swept away from South Wheeling. The bridge over Wheeling-creek is gone : thirty-five houses were counted passing by on the river from Saturday morning till twelve o'clock A large warehouse, filled with flour, lodged on the upper point of the island. The river is now even with the banks. In our next we shall be able to give more parti culars. A gentleman who came up the Ohio from Louisville to Wheeling, and reached Baltimore city on Saturday, night, confirms, says the Baltimore Amerierzo, the statement made above, that almost every town and village on the river was snore or less injured by the overflow of the waters. He states that he counted 200 houses which had been carried off, and were floating down the current. " The Bravo," by -- CooI) er Of all other spots on the face of the earth, Mr. Cooper could not have selected for the subject of romance a more fitting one than Venice—Venice with all her domes and spires, churches and palaces, floati,g as it were on the waters. The gay gallants—the usurious money-lenders—the secret inquisitors—the wealthy merchants, and the wily senators of this " City of the Isles," have been commemorated by Shakspeare, Byron, and other writers; hut it has remained for Cooper to render them still more familiar to us in the above Work, which a contemporary observes, " will be devoured by young and old for the breathless in terest with which the author has invested his characters, and for the living reality with which they speak and act." The great American novelist has now shown that genius can not only conjure up " Water Witches," from the vasty deep, or depict to us the Red Indian " in form a s palpable" as he who treads the lone prairie, but can lay hold, without restriction, upon any subject. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY, Maioo 19.—The sales to-day reach 2,500 b ags, 700 new boweds Sold 6 at steady prices LISBON AND GERMAN PAPERS. (FrOm thin/ Orio do (;arenio.) . RIO DE JANEIRO, DEC. '29.—The Regency has pnbn lished a decree for the improvement of the regulation of the customhouses of the the empire, relative to the unloading and loadieg of vessels, the prevention of frauds in the treasury, kc. The decree, containing thirty-eight articles, is ordered to be translated into French and English, and a copy of it to be de livered to the master or commander of every merchantman that enters the port. It is dated 13th December, 1831. On the .2d December, M. Edward Pentois, Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of the French, and M. Arthur Aston, Charge d'Affaires of his Britannic Majesty, delivered the letters by their respective Sovereigns to his Imperial Majesty, on his accession to the Throne of Brazil. These letters, with those of the King of England, as King of Hanover, and of the King of Swe den, are published, and likewise the congratulatory address of Counsel General of Portugal, Charge d'Affaires of Queen Donna Maria on the same occasion. JANUARY 3, lf<l2.—The Regency has resolved, that all corps of Militia shall be dissolved as soon as the National Guards shall be organized in the places to which the corps of Militia belong. JAN. 4.—The Lucero, a Journal of Buenos Ayres, of Nov. trtl, contains an extraordinary bulletin, dated Tucuman, Nov. 4, in which General J. E. Quiroga informs the Commander.in. Chief of the auxiliary confederate army, Don E.stanistad Lopez, that the auxiliary division of the Andes had on that day totally defeated the remains of the army commanded by Generals Arraoz de la Madrid, and Javier Lopez, and that after an ob stinate battle of two hours and thirty-five minutes, the incur. gents were totally routed, with the loss of ten pieces of cannon, all their infantry killed or made prisoners, and their cavalry completely cut to pieces. JAN. 7.—The Regency has appointed Senor Diago Antonio Feigo, Minister of Justice, to perform the duties of Minister of the Interior, during the illness of Senor I. Lino Coistante. Jax. 13—An order has been issued by the Minister of War, for the dismantling or demolition of certain forts and works, which are of no importance towards the defence of the capital. TRIESTE, Maacit 4.—A letter from Syra of Feb. 8, says, that the opposition Members assembled at Megara, had formed themselves into a National Congress, and had unanimously re. solved to annul the election of Augustin Capo d'lstrias, and to declare the Assembly at Napoli to be illegal. The Assembly then chose a provisional Commission of Government, consisting of Carduriotti, Collets, and Zaimi. All the Klepp of Northern and Western Greece, except Colocotruni, hereupon abandoned the President, and promised to obey the new Commission. Ne. gociations for an arrangement, which are expected to be sue. cessful, have been opened with the most influential Members of the Congress at Napoli. It is said that the resi. dents of England and France exert themselves to induce the Deputies at Napoli to listen to the proposals of the Congress at Megara ; and they are even reported to have declared that their Governments will not hesitate to recognize the new Corn. mission of Government. The people, in fear of a civil war, expect chiefly from these efforts a speedy decision favourable to the constitutional party. The fate of Greece is in the hands of Capo d'lstrias ; it is only by his retiring that a melancholy effusion of blood can be prevented, and the victory of the ma jority of the Greek nation secured without the use of arms. A new Greek Journal is going to be published at Smyrna; with the consent of the Porte, under the title of Mnemosyne, edited by well.informed Greeks. It promises to give all lite rary, political, and commercial news. The price six Spanish dollars per annum. We have no further news of the Egyptian expedition.
