Elizabeth - Acford • was • not ;called by r,nyt name while we lived at phi cottage. , I don't know that she was called by any pane, Certainly net by, that of. Mrs. Tollemache. She ,accompanied .ms, once or twice for a walk on a B uedayi . ;viliich.was, thennlyalay I could go out withbut fear of arrest. I never introduced ber to any one in Scotland as:my. wife, and I swear I was never married to her in -Seotiatid. or -anywhere 'else. All the time she'was with me I was in considerahledifficulties, and I believe that, by the letters I wrote to her I was the first to put - it int o her head to set up the claim to be Lady HuntingtOWeil. - ' - Cross-examined—l was born in 1820, and in 1842 I was a bankrupt.

I can not say without looking at my accounts whether any other perioni ' had Obtained. " judgments against me. Before. I went to Scotland, _Elizabeth Acford had gone dovin to her friends in Devonshire. This was after we had lived together in the way I have described. I don't recollect if I wrote to her to join me in Scotland, but very probably I did, . Before -we went to Scotland she went by my name, and -she • did the same aftemiards. I went by the name of Tolleinache inScotland, but I don't know what nacre she went by.' My man servant knew that we were not married.' - - She used to take l her :meals at the same table with me, - and tbe . servants called - her " ma'am." -I have spOken of her as Mrs: Tollenioche, but never as my wife. The reason was, that , she was not my wife. I could never have obtained any respectable apartments if she had not passed as my. wife. The rea son I left Scotland was because I was informed that at the suit of the Crown 'a - sheriff's officer was justified in breaking an outer door, and the moment I heardit A bolted, and spent all one miserable 'day on the side'ol Holyroed Hill, and then started for England. I remem ber burning letters od.severaloceasions, and it. is 'Fern probable that on some ,occasions Elizabeth Acford cried.l On the day the scuffle took place in liennington-lane, I went to see her; and observed her .in the act of putting two letters: in her pocket, and as Irecognised the hand writing of the address, and knew from - whom they cane, I insisted upon baring them, and took the letters away from her by force. I not know that I hurt her when I did so. The letters I.took from her are in ceurt; , : I wanted afterwards t o go i n t o h er room to see if there was anything there belonging to me, and' she prevented me from doing-so. 'Up to the time of this occurrence I, al lowed he a sovereign . a week, but since, then ,I have ,not giv-n her any, money. The . statement with regard to the , thousand pounds is virtually true, butwhatl really said was that if she had a thousand pounds she would `no doubt be able to annoy me a great deal; I'mean in the way she is doing to-day. I also. said to her at the same time, that although; I was myself , without means, my family would assist me' in repudiating the claim she was setting up solely t 6 extort money. There is no doubt that a ll s h e wants is money. 'I have not given her any since she has set up :the claim to be my wife. I have o.fferedto take the children and bring them up, and I am ready.to make an, allowance to her as Elizabeth Acford, but not as my wife. I never told the witness Alfyatt that she was my wife. : I am not in the habit of talking to my servants. -I. am sure I never said to her that if I married again I might be committed for bigamy. She must be mistaken.

H e sa id he was quite ready to admit that a very momentous inquiry-ai involved in the present issue, .but still he 'was s ur e that the question would be decided fairly. He felt quite assured , that, whatever might he the result of that - day's proceedings, the- point at issue-between Lord Huntingtower ;and the lady, who, 'notwithstandin g ' what hadpassed, be would.. still call Lady XfUntingtower, would not be decided to day, but that further proceedings must inevitably take place before that matter was finally decided. 'The jury would, however, recollect that Lady Huntingtower; or rather the person who assumed that title, was entirely, misrepresented on the present occasion ; and the only question they had tO decide was; whether Mr. Jarrett had made out such a .reasonable case as would justify theriLin.sayince that he-ought to be paid th e money he 'had expend e d' in the Siihsiitence of this unhappy lady 'and her children. They were.not now trying the ques tion whether the oldest of. these children would one day be entitled to the dignity. of Countess of 'Dysart in her Own right ; : that wou ld pro b a bl y i have td be deeded by another tribunal ;, but the simple question they had to decide was, whether "Mr. Jarrett 'had given reasonable evidence to make out his claiM for the money for which e sued. They had in evidence . that the defendant had or many years declared that Eliiabeth Aeferd was his wife, and held her out to the world in that capaCity; and that he had himself signed a register of the birth. of one Of the children, Where_ he , described her as Elizabeth Tollemache, formerly A.cford,. thereby - dearly declaring that in point of fact she was his wife. ;'Why did the, de-: fendant burn the . letters that were in her pcissession;? .

What right. had he to. set up a question 'which would go to bastardize, the children of that which was an undoubted, marriage, and make miserable arid wretched the home of her who Clearly had been married to thedefendant in the open day; and in the presence other,family and-friends I What ever. might be said by•the counsel for the plaintiff, there. could be no doubt thatit ,was impossible for the Jury to find a verdict for ; him Without at thosame time declaring 'their belief that a previous marriage had taken place in .. • . Scotland ; and when • they considered. the . very serious consequences of 'coming to such a decision, he was sure they would not so decide unless the 'evidence was most - clear and conclusive. If there was even any doubt, upon thesubject, he was sure on so. very serious a case they would not jump to the conclu- - sion that a marriage had .taken place, but , . that they would give the defendant the,benefit of that doubt: If the' question had been one of a marriage in England, he should have stopped the case hours before ; but in Scot land—and he - could not: help. looking, upon it as a dis grace to the law of that country—almost any proceeding amounted to a contract of marriage. The 'parties might almost hop over a broomstick, or if the Man said he took the woman for a wife, and she said she took him for a husband, it was sufficient.; and hence the difficulty in the present case arose, and they were called upon to say whether a ceremony of some kind or other, amounting to a marriage, had not taken piece between the parties. If such a reasonable contract of marriage, however, was set hp, surely there ought to be some evidence of what really did take place at the time, and the hear Say, statements of parties made several years afterwards ought not to be taken as proof of such a marriage hav ing taken place. Surely such evidence as this would not be_shificient for reasona bl e men, part i cularly when the Very, serious consequences that must result from an ad verse . decision were t a k en i nto cons ideration. There • was also thia,faet, which appeared to him to be very im- Poitint.

(Before Chief Justice Jervis.) , ! CRIM. CON.-- DOWELL V. SHELDON. . . The plaintiffis a chemi s t an d d rugg i st at Birmingham, and the defendant a tavern-keeper, at Birmingham. The action was for damages for criminal conversation with plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff married a Miss Harris, the daughter of a broker, after cohabiting with him three years, and on the 24th of December last plaintiff left home to see his relations in ' Leicestershire. Miss Fanny Harris, a sister of the plaintiff's wife, resided with her as a companio n ; and on the Christmas-day she and an elder sister were taking tea, when the defendant came in and asked for some cigars, and Mrs. , Dowell asked him into the parlotfr, introducing him as Mr. Edwards, and lip stayed tea with th em . A M r. P r i ce also looked in,, and cards were introduced' and Continued till four in the morning. During the evening some Ifamiliaxities were observed - between the defendant and Mrs. Dowell by her sister, Miss Harris. At half-, past 4, oiit the - party rising to seParate, Mrs. Dowell showed Mr. Price and the defendant to the door, and her two sisters went to bed; but half an hour transpiring, and she not followin g , Miss Fanny Harris, who was nearly undressed, crept down stairs about half way, when hear ing a kind of suppressed struggling in the parlour, she went further down until she mild see into the apart ment. From this place she peeped cautiously,' and dis tinctly saw an act committed, which left no doubt of the criminal nature of the interview. After waiting four:ori five minutes, she called out; " Oh, Mr. Edwards, what ever are you doing, and Mr. Dowell so far away from! home t" Defendant replied, " Gro• on • Mrs; Dowell . is i going to bed directly." Plaintiff's wife shortly aftprd wards went to b l ed with her sisters, but before doing so showed the defendant to. Mr. Dowell's room; where he slept all night,- and breakfasted the next morning with them. Miss Harris, with a view Of preserving peace, did not mention the circumstance to the plaintiff w h en h e came home • but on the following Thursday the- defend ant's wife ealied At the plaintiff's shop and complained of him seeping . el. husband out so lat e on the nightin question, wh n' the whole affai r came ou t . l - Evidence a s g i ven to show that the plaintiff had , been living with his wife up to the time of the coin- i menceutent -of the assizes, and that he also kept olio Lizzy Lloyd. Miss Fanny Harris detailed the events of Christmas night. They all breakfasted with defendant on the following morning. Nide no -allusion to what had occurred the night before, but,merely said she hoped he had spent a pleaSant night. Mr. Macaulay (defendant's Counseleau you tell me, Miss Fanny, why you did not stop what you saw going on in the parlour ? Witness—HOW could I stop it? His Lordship—go be sure you. could have stopped it. If you had been a modest woman you would have rushed into the room and stopped it, 'or else gone into the street and shouted "Murder." (A laugh.) Ms lordship remarked upon the discreditable conduct of the several parties, and the jury found a 'verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The King of Combo attacked the town of Savagee, cotaining some 4,000 inhabitants,' on the 23d Dec., and was re pulsed by the Mirabous, with the loss of 17 men, the latter losing but one.

THE TERRIFIC COAL PIT " EXPLOSION AT W.IGAN. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS: (.1 7 2:0i1t - the Mane/lister Guai•diom, of &turetity.)' On inqiiiry,.on Thursday afternoon, we learned from Mr. Thomas Hawitt, surgeon , Wi gan, that' he was at the_ collierfroM a quaker. before two to a quarter before six p.m. , Wednesday ; and that he was attending the young Critchley of Hallgate, Wigan who, he said, was very mu c h cu t a b out the head, and bleeding when brought up. , He was cOnveyed home in a cart, and was.doing well. He was also attending a boy (name unknown), who had a fractured leg, and •was much "'blown" by the gas. 'He was also attending two others in Wigan, both "blown," but doing well. Mr. Fisher, surgeon, Wigan informed us that he went to the colliery, an d descended into the pit. He found the survivors there; about 30 in number, com plaining very much of cold ; of these eight were injured by the concussion caused by the explosion, and were not seriously burned or blown. He remained down a short time, administering restoratives to those' who seemed xhausted, and then attended with two sufferers; a boy and a man, and subsequently attended to the other in jured men, as they were brought up. The most serious case, he thought was that of Robert Ainscough, who on - Thiirsday afternoon remained in a very pre carious state:—siiffering from 'congestion of the brain, and suspended animation, the result of "the suffocating effects of choke da.ipp.. He' still continued insensible. Aaron Jelly, had received a fracture of the skull and another ,of the - right leg ; and was, lying at his home, Schofield Lane, Wigan, in a precarious state. - ThoneaS Martindale had ids left arm fractured, and several slight contusions about the head. Another man, named Mason, had received a slight injury Ain't the back ; but was doing well. • Indeed, all the eight sufferers were reported as going on favourably, with., the exception of Jelly and Ainscough _ Mr. Daglish was from home - Alen our reporter called ; but we believe the above to comprise the principle cases of personal injury to survivors. The search for the bodies Which remained in the pit Was continued during Thursday night, and the whole of yesterday. On Thursday, six bodies *ere removed, and yesterday ten more were taken out, of the pit, making the, whole number of bodies recovered forty. The whole of the, mine/ has now been searched, with the exceptiOn of a portion of the north district, in which' the force of the explpsion was greatest, and where the stoppir.gs have been thrown down, and arpdrtion of the roof has been in. This has obstructed the search in that portion of the mine, and it is very probable that there are many bodies still buried beneath portionp of: the' roof and Stappings. The search is, however, still; being continued: • All the bodies Which were reco vered were removed to the . Navi g ation . Inn, Whefe th e y were wailed and dressed i n white ready Tor interment. Some of them exhibited no marks either of burning or.bruising ;. and in these cases death appeared' to have resulted from suffocation: The greater number of them, however, were much burned, particularly about the hands and face, and some of, them ,had also- sustained severe brnise,s and fractures.. The leg ,and thigh .of one man had been entirely separated from his. body, and three others were so, much burned and ` crushed as ,to render it imPossible that their limbs should be com posed in the usual manner, and to make it improbable that their friends would be able to recOgniie them. On Thursday afte rnoon , th e county Police, having learned that the exploSion Was supposed to 'have resnited from the furnace -not having been sufficiently kept up, apprehended Thomas Jones,' the tiverlooker, and he has since then remained in custody.

Down tegs and diamond atchin abun dant ; half-bred hogs have been less called for, and may be found in greater plenty, than other sorts. 'On the whole, there is an unsatifactory state of things, th e con sumption being too close on the supply, and the accounts from the wool-growing districts add nothing of a more cheering character, the cold and.ivet seas on h av i ng been against the flock owners. , Noils and broker are now high . price that wool is commanding gettiag scarce; the tends to limit t 4 quantity making.

This is in a great degree the shippers' business, whose limits ranging from 9s. 6d. to 10s. for 30's to 40's cannot be met with middle wethers at ls. 4d., the cost of the top being now beyond what they are offering for yarns, and pis His now morally certain no relief can be had in wool, there in na - di tat sposition to sell yarns for sto c k , or accept orders excepprices more commensurate with the high cost of production. Pieces —There is a good deal of business doing, and a great dto place orders for di s t ant delivery, as was done in esire kay last, to the profit of the merchant and loss of the manufacturer. A. repetition of this makes the manufac turer now pause, seeing such difficulty to place orders for warp and weft, especially at the prices at which orders are offered.

NOTTINGHAM, March 24.—There is . so little difference in the condition of the-two staple businesses of the town since our last, that eminent upon them is unnecessary : each of them being a fair state, and all hands tolerably well occupied, with the prospect of a good spring and summer trade, in both lace and hosiery.-- Nottingham Journal. • LEICESTER, March 24.—There are more shipping orders arrived for fancy hosiery and gloves ; the high price of yarn has operated on the home market, but the hosiers are well employed with cotton orders,m Y the de and for whi c h, p er h aps, never was greater. Yarns ,are dull, but spinner cannot give way ; they still state that they are much below the present price of wools. Wools keep their upward tendency - ; farmers' lots are extremely -scarce, and we have heard of 375. per tod being given.
