To Mr. HUDSON, Agent for Carlisle. did not intend giving my case publicity, but when I consider the awful visitation of the Cholera in Sunderland and the neighbourhood, I do not think I should be doing justice to Mr. Morison and the public if I were to keep any longer silence. A few weeks ago 1 was called to Berwick-upon-Tweed as a Hatter, when I was severely attacked with the Cholera. The symptoms were crams, in my limbs, being all drawn up; m y ybody was all over a blu e co l our, accompanied with violent purg ing and vomitin g, when a friend of mine, alklinister of the Gos pel, came timely with Morison's Pills. I took twelve at first, and repeated the dose a few times, when my health was corn pletely restored. I have given the sympt ems, and leave it to the public to judge for themselves to call my di so rd er what they I please. However, acknowledge my gratitude to Almighty God, from whom all blessings flow, in sending his servant with the justly celebrated Vegetable Universal Medicine of Morison, the Hygeist, to my relief.

Feucheres wishes to go with you.' I evinced my surprise that Madame de Feucheres, who had so many carriages at her command, should have any wish to ride in my cabriolet. The Prince an swered me, That signified nothing; there is a quarrel between her and all my household, because she wishes to make me do something which they do not advise. But you must not speak of the mat ter to her.' _ _ SUIT FOR ANNULLING THE WILL OF THE DUKE OF BOURBON. THE PRINCES DE ROMAN V. THE DUKE D'AUMALE AND TILE BARONESS DE FEIJCHERES. SITTINTG OF THE 6th OF JANUARY. M. Lavaux, the Counsel for Madame de Feu cheres, resumed his discourse. " Gentlemen," said he, " we now approach the termination of this unfortunate trial. Hitherto you have beheld me animated only by the desire of bring ing before you truth unembarrassed by the artifices of eloquence. The advocate disappeared in order to allow facts to speak for themselves, and these facts have been all powerful. " If a calumny be too easily propagated, yet the result of our judicial discussions, and a sentiment of natural justice in the hearts of men, has had the effect of cautioning the public against yielding too readily to first impressions. There was a desire to hear the accused. She has spoken, and while she was heard, I with pleasure beheld prejudices dissi pated, doubts give place to benevolent and conso latory confidence, and the justice of public opinion, indignant_at having been deceiver', has made us for get our griefs and our tears. " Before you, gentlemen, the question is one of law, and it would be an insult to suppose that the law of the case was unknown to you. The prin ciples, also, with respect to wills are so constantly applied, that I could not understand the labour and research which were exhilettd by our opponent until I perceived that he was unwilling to take notice of the modifications of the ancient laws which have been effected by modern legislation•" After these preliminary observations, Psl. Lavaux proceeded to consider the question whether the will of the Prince of Conde could be annulled on the ground of suggestion and circumvention. "By the civil code," said he, " only one thing is necessary to establish the validity of a will,—namely, that the testator shall have been of sound mind. Sugges tion does not vitiate a will according to our existing law. M. de Malleville, one of the authors of the civil code, felt it his duty to lay down this principle. 'ln principle,' said he, it is allowable for any one to obtain bequests by caresses, by services, by en treaties. It is only fraudulent endeavours, and ca lumnies against heirs, which can be condemned by justice and morality. All that is necessary is to know that the testator, at the time of making his will, was not imbecile, and that his inclination was free.' " Q. Did not the Prince charge you not to quit Madame de Feucheres—not to let her commit any imprudence ?—A. Yes, that is true. " Q. The Prince, then, evinced before you the tender interest he felt for Madame de Feucheres ? A. Yes, Sir. " And it is in the face of thisiedaration that it it is pretended that a feeling of terror took pos session of the Prince when he thought of Madame de Feucheres, or was in her presence.- " Let us pass on to a serious charge. It is al leged that M. General Baron de Feucheres, who was well acquainted with his wife, had said before many persons that it would be well to distrust the Baroness, for that he thought her capable of any thing. Hear, upon this point, the deposition of a grave personage, M. Paul de la Roch Aymon, a Peer of France I was at a party upon an occa sion, the date of which I cannot fix precisely, but which was some time in November, 1830. One of the persons present, whose name I do not recollect,. said that Courtois, coach-maker, having come RI settle his account, was speaking with regret of his master's death, and that he added, that he was not, however, astonished at it,—that M. le General Baron tie Feucheres having called on him some years before about the Prince's carriages, had declared that the Prince was very unhappy ;—that he would perish only by the hand of Madame de Feucheres, or that she would be the cause of his death.' " To enlighten justice with respect to this testi mony, what was to be done ? Why, to examine Courtois himself. He was called before the officer who was charged with the duty of taking the depo sitions, and here is what he said : " I have not been at St. Leu since the death of the Prince. I had been sent for to St. Leu by M. de Flassan, to receive the Prince's orders with re spect to repainting his armorial bearings, which, however, was not done.' " Q. Did you never say that you were not sur prised at the death of the Prince ? Did AI. de Feucheres never say to you that the Prince would not perish but by the hands of Madame de Feu cheres, or that she would be the cause of his death ? A. I recollect nothing of such language having been addressed to me by M. de Feucheres ; I was not suf ficiently acquainted with him for him to talk to me about such things. M. de Feucheres commissioned me to sell his cabriolet, which he had no longer any occasion for, having quitted the service of the Prince. He counselled me to continue the same zeal for the family of the Prince, of whom he spoke in the highest terms.' " Observe, that the question does not by any means involve an improbability : it was with refe rence to Madame de Feucheres that the Baron de de Feucheres was compelled to quit the service of the Prince : it would not, therefore, be extraordi nary that in a moment of excitement, and being re duced to sell his cabriolet—(A laugh)—he should permit himself to give way to expressions natural under the circumstances of the case. " The President Favard de Langlade, and M. Toullier, maintain the same doctrine. They agree in declaring that there is nothing vicious in sugges tion ; that the proof of circumvention cannot be ad mitted except in cases where deceit and fraud can be established, or where it can be proved that an nother intention has been substituted for the inten tion of the testator. " Now, what are the scandalous manoeuvres of Madame de Feucheres ? Has she caused the legiti mate heirs to be passed by ? Did she irritate the Prince's mind by perfidious insinuations ? Nowhere is proof of these facts to be found. " In a word, what is there to reproach her with? You have, throughout a voluminous correspondence, beheld the Prince eager to heap favours on Madame de Feucheres. You have seen her, anxious above all things for the Prince's honour, go so far even as to hurt him sometimes by the sincerity of her counsels; and as to the Prince himself, how has he been de graded before you! In what colours has the under standing of.the old mar es. painted to you, whilst, iafead of such being the true picture, every thing shows him to have been of delicate and enlightened judgment, perfectly sensible of the difficulty of his situation; and, in the midst of greedy persons, all of whom strove to force upon him the gratification of their own individual views. " Do you understand that question, exclaimed M. Lavaux ? Is it not without parallel in the annals of criminal proceedings ? M. the Conseiller-instruc teur, because, forsooth, M. de Feucheres was obliged to sell his cabriolet, thinks that in a moment of excitement the Baron was very likely to give utter ance to the language reported by a Peer of France —M. La Roche Aymon. Courtois, gentlemen, in variably answers, 1 I recollect nothing of the sort.' " Then you have never said to any person what I have endeavoured to remind you of 7—A. No, Sir, no. The confidence which his Royal Highness was pleased to repose in me—in all that related to his carriages—(A laugh)—made me entirely attached and devoted to him." " Let us now come to the will of 1829, and see whether it can be attacked on the principles which our adversaries have laid down. You know that, in 1827, Madame de Feucheres bad acquainted Queen Maria Amelie with the steps she projected to take with reference to the Prince of Conde; you have heard the letter which the Queen wrote to Madame de Feucheres on this subject, in 1827; you have seen later that passed between General Lambot and Charles X. upon this matter; you have seen the order issued by Charles X.; and the appointment by that Sovereign of Madame de Feucheres, as mediatrix with the Duke of Bourbon (comme intermediare aupres du Due de Bourbon.) " The order of Charles X. was fulfilled ; the let ter of the 2d May, 1829, was written by Madame de Feucheres, which letter she communicated to the Duke of Orleans. The will of 1829 was drawn up by M. Surval from the instructions of the Prince. The latter himself delivered his will into the hands of M. Robin, the notary. The notary, aware of the importance of the deposit thus placed in his custody, requested the Prince to write a superscription on his will, and the Prince wrote with his own hand, ' An important deposit, delivered by me to M. Robin, notary.' " From that time did the Duke of Bourbon ever change his intention ? You know the contrary. I am afraid of fatiguing you by reading a corres pondence subsequent to the will, which proves an invariable affection on the part of the Prince towards Madame de Feucheres." After dwelling upon other details, from which he drew the conclusion that in the antecedent facts there was nothing which could at all militate against the assertion that the will was freely made, M. Lavaux proceeded to examine the subsequent facts. He re jected, as contrary to the truth, the statement of the dentist Hostein, of the woman Gouverneur, and of others, with respect to the blows the Prince was said to have received on the 10th of August, as well as the testimony of M. de Surval, relative to an inten tion on the part of the Prince to flee from Madame de Feucheres. " I think myself in a condition to assert," conti nued M. de Lavaux, " that if after these develope ments Alsdame de Feucheres should be heard here, her whole defence might be found in these simple words I counselled the Prince to fulfil a sacred duty. I obeyed the wish of the King. I suggested to the Prince as his heir, a member of the noble fa mily whose chief has since been charged with the destinies of France. The Prince made his will freely. The Princes of Rohan have shamefully ca lumniated me. They have accused me of foul as. sassination. Nothing could console me for the pangs they have excited but the consciousness of having consecrated my remaining energies in the defence of a will which I regard as one of the acts most ho nourable to the Prince.'" M. Lavaux, then entering into the examination of the facts which he had already laid before the Court at the preceding hearings, divided them into two classes—namely, facts cotemporary with the will, and facts posterior to the will, although the latter might be put out of consideration as foreign to the complete execution of the will. He likewise divided the entemporary facts into two sections, and laid aside the articles founded either on the word of the Prince, or on the declarations of M. de Surval. " The expressions attributed to the Prince," said he, " can have no value, for there are no means of replying to them by counter-statements. The Prince is not here to deny those expression!, and those speeches which certain personages, and particularly his dentist, have attributed to him. " With respect to the testimony of M. de Surval,, of what value is it ? M. de Surval has accepted the office of executor; that is, he has accepted the office of superintending the execution of the will. From the moment in which he accepted that charge, he was bound in duty and honour to see that the will was faithfully executed. Indeed, he ought to be here with us, so as to afford the defence the advan rage of his assistance ; but if he has joined himself to our opponents, we feel that we have a right to protest against his declarations. " I shall have to give an explanation by and by respecting a letter which N. Surval has thought proper to address to me, and which lie has subse quently had printed for sale at Denter's (the book seller). I cannot positively take it upon me to say that the publication is to be had there for sale, for I have not myself purchased a copy. I have been favoured with a copy of it for nothing. " M. Surval has said that many circumstances tend to show that the Prince had for a long time entertained a feeling of aversion towards Madame de Feucheres. Let us see how this tallies with what the physician Bonie relates of a conversation which he had on the 29th of July, 1830, with the Duke of Bourbon. These are the words of his de position On the 29th of July, during the troubles in Paris, private business requiring my pre sence in the capital, I informed the Prince of the circumstance. He said to me, Madame de M. Lavaux then detailed and justified the conclu sions which he had adopted in the suppression of a memoir published by M. llennequin. He cited therefrom numerous passages in which Madame de Feucheres was more or less charged with the as sassination of the Duke de Bourbon, and observed that this memoir, edited and published in the teeth of the sentence of the Chamber of Accusatibn, which declared that there had been no assassination, was a serious offence both against Madame de Feu cheres and against the Magistrates themselves. " There remains for me, gentlemen, to say two words which are required from my honour. I wished to speak respecting an explanation which has been demanded and provoked by the Archbishop of Paris.—(Movement of attention and curiosity.) " You have not forgotten (said the Advocate), that in commencing my speech, I thought myself bound, in order to prove the honourable connexion of Madame de Feucheres, to read to you a letter written by her to the Prince, in which she gives the particulars of a visit she received at Florence from the Archbishop of Paris. This Prelate has thought proper to address a letter to the President of the Court, which closes with the following passage:— "' Sir, —Sixteen months had passel away without my having even heard speak of Madame de Feucheres. In June, 1825, I made a journey into Italy solely on account of my health. In July I returned by Florence, where I arrived on Sunday the 24th, at ten o'clock in the morn ing. I alighted at the Hotel d'lnrrilterra ; I there hired an apartment on the second floor. I was accompanied by my grand vicar, M. Borderies, now Bishop of Versailles, and M. Desjardins, both privy to all my proceedings, all my actions, and almost all my thoughts. 1 stayed only 24 hours at Florence. Madame de Choulot, who was born at Chabannes, and was one of the great nieces of Cardinal Perigord, m y venerable pre d ecessor , was t h e on l y person who cam e to see me i n the presence o f my fellow traveller : she lodged on the first floor in the same hotel. " After the first compliments, she informed me that she travelled with Madame de Feucheres, and prattling a little in favour of this lady, begged me to visit and receive her. I refused ; but I did not think I ought to refrain from returning Maclaine de Choulot's visit. Accordingly, I went down to her apartments, along with'my grand vicar. I there found Aladarne de Feucheres, whom I then saw sci‘s 1,10 -% li. ' ' -'' •' ' ' -`l'''. ' - 1 IX TV r:._•:...c,: 7 -e sitt I) nthi•r-2 •. . . . .rolv.1130;4. Brit 1.)

No second visit took place. Most certainly, I of fered no nosegay. This story and that of other circum stances are pure invention. After what had occurred at Paris, who could be persuaded that I could possibly have had such inconceivable ideas. " know not, M. President, what was the intention which dictated the letter with which the Court rang, or that which gave it publicity. Justice and the good sense of the public will know how to appreciate it. For my own part, whilst I find myself forced to repel a calumny which takes almost official and judiciary form, I would, nevertheless, regard it as nothing more than another wrong to forgive. " I beg, M. President, you will recei►e the assurance, &c. "' HYACINTHE, Archbishop of Paris.' " The moment I was aware of this letter (ob served the Advocate), I conjured my client to recollect herself, and the result of her reflections was the following letter, written by her to the Archbishop of Paris : " Palais Bourbon, Dec. 29, 1831. " Monseigneur,--Before M. Lavaux had communicated to me the letter you have addressed to M. the President de Belleyme, I had experienced the most painful senti ment in observing the appearance in the newspapers of the lettert of my private correspondence with the Duke de Bours,, lam happy that your Eminence gives me, by your protest, the occasion of expressing my deep regret fur all that relates to you in that publication. When the most odious calumny was let loose against me, after the loss of my august protector, I was bound, at the request of my s putum( to entrust to him for my defence all my coffee- " So long as the calumnies are directed against me by unworthy persons only, I despised them, but when a per sonage of your holy character accuses me of departing from truth, I may believe that your memory is not faithful, and I ought (with all the respect due to you) to establish the fact. Your Eminence must call to mind, as well as the two respectable ecclesiastics who accompanied you into Italy, that it was at my lodging, in my apartment, that you paid me your visit at Florence, and not at the Countess of Chou lot's, who was my fellow-traveller, and who lodged with me. " Your Eminence cannot, moreover, have forgotten, that previous to quitting the hotel, you came to pay me a second visit to take leave of us, and that then you pre sented to me a superb bouquet, white in silver, tied with a white riband. This bouquet happened to be given you in a convent.—(A laugh.) I attached so much value to this present, that I brought it carefully to Paris, and I can bring proof that it was given to a church.—(Another laugh. ) " As a Catholic, i ought, I admit, to have related the circumstances °fele visit of your Eminence with less levity; but I hope to find my excuse in the little importance I then attached to letters written hastily, and which ought never to have been given to the public. " With respect to that part of your Eminence's letter i❑ which you say you have never seen me since, you must re member that I was intrusted to make the last collection at the Palais Bourbon, fur the benefit of the small schools, and that T bad the honour of paying in person to the Arch bishop the produce of this collection, and I have preserved the receipt.—(Laughter.) I dwell upon these facts, Mon seigneur, although they are of little importance, not being willing to suffer the semblance of a want of veracity to rest upon me. I trust so much to your honour, Monseigneur, as to beg of you-to recollect and confirm the truth of these facts, that my Counsel may establish them; if, in spite Of me, they become subjects of discussion. " the Baroness de FEUCHERES." After receiving this letter, the Archbishop of Paris has thought proper to address me the follow ing : "Sir,—ln reply to the letter I bad the honour to write to you on the 24th of this month, in transmitting to you a copy of that which I addressed to the President of the Civil Tribunal, I have just received one from Madame de Pen cheres, who, believing my memory treacherous, appeals to my recollection and my honour respecting the circutn stances of the visit I paid at Florence, not to Madame de Feucheres, but to the niece of my venerable predecessor, Cardinal Perigord, Madame de Choulot, who alone came to call upon me. I have no need of further recollection, in order to affirm the facts to be as I have stated them in nay letter to the President de Belleyme, to which I refer in all its parts, and which I have reason to hope will be read to the Court. Receive, Sir, &c. " HYACINTHE, Archbishop of Paris." These, gentlemen, are explanations which do not concern the cause, but which it was not possible for me to refrain from giving. M. Dupin, jun., Counsel for the Duke d'Aumale, then commenced his speech. We shall give to morrow this truly remarkable oration, which was overwhelmed with plaudits within the Court, and destined to produce without a deep impression upon every mind. TO CIVIL ENGINEERS.

An inquest was held at Yanwath, near Penrith, on Wednesday last, before R. S. STErnExsoN, Esq., Coroner, upo❑ the body of an old woman who went about the country selling laces, needles, &c., named ELIZABETH FAwcErr, aged seventy-eight years. She had left Yan wath on Monday afternoon, intending to go to some neigh bouring villages to sell her wares and to return the same evening, but not returning, the persons with whom she lodged became alarmed for her safety, as the night was very dark and cold, and went, accompanied by some neighbours, in search of her, but were obliged to return without success. No tidings having been heard of her through the night, search was resumed in the morning, and the poor unfortunate was found quite dead by the edge of the river Lowther, partly in the water. It is supposed she had missed her way, fallen down, and being unable to rise again, bad perished through the coldness of the night. A verdict was returned—" Died from starvation."... Car- Usk Journal. GERMAN PAPERS Srocritotar, Dec. 20.—From Western Dalecarlia whole troops of beggars are emigrating. The prospect for the ensuing spring is very gloomy in that province. It has been found in Norway that farmers are involved in debt, in consequence of having had corn advanced to them by the Government, which was of bad quality and has not come up. ELBERG, Dxc. 26.—The Grand Duchess Helen of Russia passed through this town yesterday afternoon. Part of the Polish soldiers cantoned about Elberg, who refuse to return to Poland, were to be placed in the other canton ments on the 21st, but as they were going to be conducted along the road to Prussian Holland they suspected that the military escorting them would compel them to go to Po land, and, in spite of all assurance to the contrary, they returned to their old quarters. Several hundreds of them returned to this town. These were conducted to the square and surrounded with troops. It was proposed to take them to the building where the soldiers were exer cised, there to pass the night, but they were still suspicious and refused to go. The Hussars were then ordered to use the flat side of their sabres to compel them ; this was done, bat unfortunately it being dark, three Polish soldiers were wounded. The next morning some Polish officers being allowed to explain to them that there was no intention whatever of obliging them to go to Poland, they readily proceeded to their several cantonments. BERLIN, JAN. I.—The only two cholera patients re maining here recovered in the course of yesterday, so that at the close of the year the capital was free from the cholera. To day, however, there have been two new cases. In the year 1831, 1,621 ships arrived at Amsterdam. The number of ships that arrived in the Masse and Goree in 1831 greatly exceeded that in 1830, as appears from the following statement :—. SEARS, MOVED. SAILED. 18:10 1831 lnereaie 476 At Sehirdam the arrivals were 153 ships, with coals, from Sunderland and other English ports, and 127, with corn, from the Baltic. DISCOVERY OF 'VALUABLE CLAY MINES, NEAR CHEADLE.—We have this week to record the dis covery, by a gentleman in this neighbourhood, of exten sive beds of china clay, on the estate of the Earl of SHREWSBURY, in the vicinity of Okarnoor, near Cheadle, only fourteen miles from hence. The quality of this clay is said to be excellent. The beds lie generally within four feet of the surface of the earth, covered with a rich stratum of alluvial soil ; they vary in thickness, from six to fourteen feet, and extend through a considerable tract of land ; so that there is probably sufficient to supply these Potteries for ages. The clay is very white and pure in its unwashed state; and is said by one of our principal potters to be of excellent quality,—an assertion justified by the appearance of some manufactured specimens we have seen, and one of which now lies for inspection at our office. On the same estate have been discovered beds of beautifully fine white sand, and veins of coal. It is the intention of the Noble Earl to have the clay mines worked, and with this view a nunil'er of men are already employed in excavating, and others are engaged to wash and prepare it for sale, as in Cornwall. The Cauldon Canal, which runs through the estate, affords every facility for bminging the clay into the Potteries at a cheap rate. When we consider that the original price of the chief material in the earthenware manufacture, is more than doubled by the expanse of freight from distant parts, we cannot but look upon the discovery of so large a quantity close at hand, as an important era in the history of the Staffordshire Potts rim...Pottery Paper. petrel INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday several seafaring men from Newcastle came to the Justice-room to request the LORD MAYOR'S interference upon some occasion of no public ,T_ ^~ Alderman WiLsoN, who sat part of the day for the Lord Mayor, his Lordship being engaged in swearing in the city constables, asked the applicants whether they lately arrived from Newcastle, and whether the residents were not in a state of dread ful alarm in consequence of the prevalence of the 'elauliktirorbue ?—One of the sailors said they had just birived, but tbat none of the Newcastle people were in the slightest degree alarmed about the disorder. Alderman WILSON—What ! are not there num bers dying there ? Sailor—No—not so many as generally die at this time of the year. Alderman WILSON—Have none of your friends or relations died there ? Sailor—Not one belong ing to any of us. I have a wife and six children at Newcastle, and we have all of us families there, but not a being o f t h em h as b een ta k en ill. Nobody is in the least alarmed. Mr. Hobler—Do you mean to say that there are not people at Newcastle dying of a distemper un known to the place ? Sailor—We have heard something about it, but we don't believe it. We are as healthy as ever we were, and are no/ afraid of any thing. BOW-STREET. The charges of drunkenness and disorder were as numerous yesterday morning as on any former occa sion, but it was observed that the vice of drunken ness has latterly been extending to females, many of whom have, within the last month, been brought to this office, charged with having been found night after night in a shameful and disgusting state of inebriety. Of the twenty-three charges brought forward yesterday morning, sixteen were against females for disorder, committed while under the influence of that fiery curse—gin. John Dixon and his wife litary, persons of the lowest class, and apparently without the means of obtaining a morsel of victuals, were amongst the number of disorderlies. They were each found in a state of beastly intoxication, on Saturday night,. wallowing like swine in the mud. It appeared that they went out to purchase some food for their children, but, overcome by the beastly habit of dram drinking, they went into a public-house, and spent every farthing of the money which they bad in gin, the effect of which has already been described. Mr. HALLS, after commenting on the ruinous effects of cheap gin, directed the prisoners to be locked up together, and sent a constable to look after their wretched children. OLD BAILEY, JAN'. 9. Robert Hughes, aged 27, and Elizabeth Warsley, aged 40, were indicted, the former for maliciously shooting at Elizabeth Worsley, with intent to kill her, and the latter with counselling, aiding, and ,betting him to commit that offence. The male prisoner leaned upon the bar with his face turned towards Worsley, and during the whole trial he exbibitedlexcessive nervousness. The first witness called was Mr. W. Bentley, who lives in Little East Smithfield ; Worsley lived in his service as housekeeper; Hughes was an orga:list., and was in the habit of visiting at his house to play upon an organ which he has there ; on Saturday, the 22d of October, about eleven o'clock at night, he was awakened by the report of a pistol, which was followed by a noise, like that of a person falling on the floor of the room over him ; he got up and rang his bell, and then went into the room above, when he saw the two prisoners lying on the floor ; Hughes was moaning loudly ; Worsley was crying out for mercy; a light was immediately brought into the room by a publican who lives next door. The prisoners were both bleeding from their heads, but neither profusely ; he thought from Hughes's ap pearance that he was just dead; witness was so much alarmed that he does not remember what. occurred afterwards; he had, on the preceding Thursday, given Worsley notice to quit his service. Cress-examined by Mr. PuteraPs—The male pri soner is blind of one eye, and nearly so of the other; he cannot say that Worsley is weak in her intellect ; she lived in his service five years, and he never thought that there was any thing amiss with her understanding. Thomas Owen, a police-officer, was called into Mr. Bentley's house on Saturday, the 22d of Octo ber, about eleven o'clock at night, and he there found the two prisoners lying on the floor of a room on the second floor, both bleeding from their heads; Hughes was lying on his back, and the woman by his side, with her hands round his neck ; she was crying out " Lord have mercy on me;" the wit ness asked what was the matter, and who had fired the pistols ? he afterwards said to the prisoners that they had better tell him ; he then went for a sur geon, and on his return he " found two doctors, and two pistols besides."—(A laugh.) William Henning, a policeman, came into the room in Mr. Bentley's house, on the night of the 22d October; the woman groaned heavily, and the man said that was the last groan they should ever hear from her ; he wished he had done it to perfec tion, and had put her out of pain; he said that he was in greatrpain himself. Mr. Blomfield is a surgeon, residing in Hermitage street, London Docks: about eleven o'clock on Sa turday night, the 22d of October, he was called to Mr. Bentley's house, where he saw the two pri soners lying side by side upon the floor. He saw them both at the hospital the next day, when the woman said she desired Hughes to shoot her; he could not swear, from the appearance of the wound, whether or not a ball had produced it. Mr. PHILLIPS submitted to the Court that, as there was no evidence that the pistol. was loaded with ball, the indictment was not sustained. Mr. Baron BOLLAND (after some consultation with Mr. Justice GASELEE and Mr. Justice J. PARKE) charged the Jury that the indictment charged the male prisoner with firing at the female a pistol loaded with powder and ball, and as there was no evidence to that fact, they must acquit the prisoner. John Thomas Morgan was indicted for sending, on the 17th of December last, a threatening. letter to Thomas Hemmingway, with a view to extort money from the said Thomas Hemmingway, under the threat of imputing to him an unnatural crime. The Jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner, on being called up for judgment, threw himself on the merciful consideration of the Court. The COMMON SERJEANT observed, that to show mercy to the prisoner would be in this case to be guilty of injustice towards the public. He should not feel that he was doing his duty if he did riot inflict the severest punishmen , that the law allowed. The sentence of the Court was, that he should be transported for the term of his natural life. The prisoner was led from the bar apparently much affected by the sentence. NEWS FOR MR. •MALTHLYS. —At the Bol ton Sessions-room, on Monday, a circumstance transpired that would have gone near to have driven Mr. .MALvltus, bad he been present, into a state of distraction, at the ab sence of the " moral restraint."
