Vortrn. TO A WIFE. DEAREST love, believe me, Though all else depart, Nought shall e'er deceive thee In this faithful heart. Beauty soon may perish, Youth must fade away; nut the love we cherish Never can decay. Tempests may assail ui On affliction's coast ; Fortune's breeze may fail us When we need it most. Fairest hopes may perish, Friends may fade away, But the love we cherish Never can decay. • Dreams of fame and grandeur End in bitter tears ; True love grows the fonder By the.lapse of years, rune, and change, and troubles Meaner ties unbind; But the love redoubles True affection twined. VARIETIES. A Roman temple, dedicated to Mars, has recently been disco 'sexed at Brescia. On digging the ground of this temple, there 'was found a statue of Victory, in bronze gilt, which is said to be vaperior to any of the bronze statues at Milan, Venice, or Na ples. A woman died lately at Lemmes, in the canton of Soldlly, Meuse, at the age of 102 years. She was born at Verdun in 1731, and laboured in the vineyard till she was 78. She had be come very much bent, but preserved her faculties to the last.— kihe had lost none of her teeth, and ate with good appetite till within a short period of her death.—French Paper. That Mr. Fox could be merry on serious occasions is proved by various stories told of him, and particularly by the circum stanees attending his duel with Mr. Adam, who shot Fox in the ,breast; when, instead of appearing alarmed, he smiled, and said he perceived it to be true, that "Adam had power over every beast of the field." His friend in the combat was Mr. Hare.— Piozziana. ANCIENT tIOUSE OF COMMONS.—" Parliament (says Pen nant) often sat in Westminster Hall. In 1397, when, in the reign of Richard 11., it was extremely ruinous, he built a tem porar7 room for his parliament, formed with wood and covered with tiles. It was open on all sides, for the constituents to see everything that was said anti done; and, to secure freedom of clebate, he surrounded the house with 4000 Cheshire archers, with bows bent, and arrows knocked ready to shoot. This fully answered the intent; for every sacrifice was made to the _royal pleasure." "In Westminster Hall was carried on the important trial of the great Earl of Strafford. I mention it to show the simplicity of one part of the manners of the times.— The Commons, who had an inclosed place for themselves, at a certain hour pulled out of their pockets bread and cheese and bottles of ale. '—Provost Baillie .of Scotland's Letters in 1642. Very young ladies cannot be said to have any conversation. Experience, knowledge of society, acquirements gradually and imperceptibly accumulated, are requisite before a person can be froperly said to converse. * * * The female character is, rom its attributes, peculiarly under the controul of circum stances, and the influence of other and of stronger natures.— There cannot be a more momentous condition than that of a young woman under twenty. A fool may win her admiration, and her character becomes, for a time at least, frivolous. Many a noble spirit in woman has been checked by an ill-placed first affection ; but if she be fortunate enough to place an early de pendence upon .a worthy object, the tenor of her life is deter mined. It is observable that in youth women cannot under stand friendship towards men. Girls never stop at that point. There is always a tinge of love in their sentiments towards in timate associates in the other sex. Hence the dangerous as cendency acquired by their male instructors, and by other less attractive and less meritorious individuals, over women who have been even delicately nurtured.—Constance, a Novel. THE MONKEY AND THE BI;LL DOG.—A curious battle took place some time back at Worcester, between these two anim als , on a wager of three guineas to one that the dog killed the mon ley in six minutes. The owner of the dog agreed to permit the monkey to use a stick about a foot long. Hundreds of spec tators assembled to witness the fight, and bets ran eight, nine, and ten to one in favour of the dog, which could hardly be held in. The owner of the monkey taking from his p oc k e t a thi c k round rule about a foot long, - threw it into the paw of the mon key, saying, " Now Jack, look sharp—mind that dog." "Then here goes for your monkey," cried the butcher, letting the dog loose, which flew with a tiger-like fierceness. The monkey with astonishing agility sprang at least a yard high, a n d f a lli ng u p on the dog, laid fas t . hold of the back of his neck with his teeth, seizin g one ear with his left paw so as to prevent his t urn i ng t o bite. In this unexpected situation Jack fell to work with his ruler upon the head of the dog, which he beat so forcibly and rapidly, that the creature cried out most eloquently. In short the dog was carried off in nearly a lifeless state, with his skull fractured. The monkey was of the middle size. Zeisberger lived sixty years among the Indians; and, during the last forty, visited his brethren in the United States but three times. In him the fearlessness and hardihood of the Indian warrior were united with the faith and.simplicity of the Chris tian. When he began to feel the infirmities of age coming upon him, he strove to tomplete his translations of portions of the Scriptures, and other writings, into the Delaware language. He finished the hymn-book now in use; it consists of hvinns of his own translating, and forms a large volume; he lelt also a 'valuable Delaware grammar- Gently, and almost uncon sciously, old age came on; when he could no longer travel, he visited every home in the settlement, from day to day, with un remitting diligence and affection. But, being visited with total blindness, he rested within his home, and went forth no more. His friends often read to him • and he instructed the younger missionaries. The calamity that had fallen on him, be bore without a murmur : it was a terrible one, even to a man so near the grave. Oh, bitter, bitter is the loss of all the dear and liv ing scenes of nature ! The mountain, the lake, the stream, the glorious forest—to see them no more for ever—to see no more .the sun rise or set, and his changing hues pass away on the plain. Zeisberger felt the loss above all men : during seventy years his home had been among these scenes : hi s b e d by night, his pilgrimage by day, so that " they were graven on his heart." We can fancy how he would love, like the patriarch of old, to sit beside his door at evening, and listen to the rising wind among the woods, awl the breaking of the waves on the shore, and feel the last sunbeams on his withered cheek. He died, aged 88, in the winter of 1808.—Carnes lives of eminent Ails .sionaries. — THE LION-HEAD OF THE CENTURION.—In September, 1740, Commodore George Anson sailed from England with a small aptuadron of ships, consisting of the Centurion, of 60 guns, the tloucester, the Severn, the Pearl, the Wager, and the Trial sloop, with two victuallers, and about 470 lantl-forces, under the command of Colonel Cracherode. The Severn and the Pearl were separated from him on the coast of Brazil, whence they - returned to England. All his other ships, except the Centu rion, were either lost or destroyed, for want of hands to navi fate them. H e b urne d th e t own o f P a it a i n Peru, where Be ound a good deal of plunder. He likewise took the rich Ma nilla glloon, valued at £400,000 sterling; and, after.undergo ing an incredible number of difficulties, he arrived at Spithead, on the 15th of June, 1744. His treasure was conveyed in a triumphant manner to London, where it was received amidst the shouts and acclamations of the people- He himself was soon after created. .a peer of the realm- He died in 1762, aged sixty-two years. The Lion, carved in wood, which adorned the head of his ship, the Centurion, was placed, some years ago, on a pedes tal in the stable-yard of a little i nn at Waterbeac'h, adjoining Goodwood Park, near Chichester, the seat of the Duke a Richmond, with the following inscription : Stay, traveller, a while and view One who has travell'd more than you.

YHA LIVERPOOL STANDAhLY. TUE LONDON PRESS. (FROM THE GUARDIAN AND 'PUBLIC LEDGER.) litts.wienuncn SPOLIATION BILL.—" This Bill, if it become law, will amount to a DEPOSITION OF THE KING AS HEAD OF THE CHURCH; and the passing of it will be a A VIOLATION OF THE CORONATION OATH—and will constitute, de facto, A RE PEAL OF THE UNION." The foregoing were the last words in our article of yesterday on the "Irish Ckurch Spoliation Bill." With the same sentiment it is our intention to commence and conclude such comments as we may from time to time make upon this sweeping measure. " FIRST ARTICLE. And whereas the said Articles," (eight in number, the first of which, that especially applicable to the Church, was given by us yesterday,) having, by address of the respective Houses of Parliament in Great Britain and Ire land, been humbly laid before his Majesty, his Majesty has beeu most graciously pleased to approve of the same ; and to recommend it to his two Houses of Parliament in Great Bri tain and Ireland to consider of such measures as may be neces sary for giving effect to the said Articles,: in order, therefore, to give full effect and validity to the same, be it enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Com mons in this present Parliament assembled, and by the autho rity of the same, that the said foregoing recited Articles, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, according to the true import and tenor thereof; be ratified, confirmed, and approved, and be, and they are hereby declared to be, the Articles of the Union. of Great Britain and Ireland, and the same shall be in force and have effict FOR EVER, from the Ist day of January which shall be in the year of our Lord 1801, provided that before that period an Act shall have been passed by the Parliament of Ireland, for carrying into effect, in like manner, the said foregoing re cited Articles." We will now proceed with our view of what Lord Al thorp -is pleased to call—not its " principle," but—its "details,'—the clauses. We broke off yesterday at the 40th clause, to which we will again refer, as showing the truth of the last five words of the foregoing quota tion from our yesterday's article. This clause expressly declares, that an act required to be passed in the Par liament of Ireland previously to the Act of Union tak ing effect, on the Ist of January, 1801, was, in fact, passed by that Parliament; and was incorporated into, and made part of an act passed in the Parliament of Eng land in the same year, intituled, "An Act for the Union of Great Britain and Ireland." What follows ? The second supplementary article re cites the very Act of the Irish Parliament—the passing of which consummated the Act of Union—and thus con cludes : "Be it enacted, that the said Act" (the required Act of the Irish Parliament) " so herein recited, be taken as a part of this Act," (the Act of Union,) " and to be deemed to all intents and purposes incorporated within the same." In the unavoidable disconnection of our observations on this subject. we must not lose sight of the conditions of the Union. The fifth condition, or article, is, that there shall be one "united Church of England and Ire land ;" whose "doctrine, worship, discipline, and go vernment shall remain in full force for ever, as the same are now by law established for the Church of England; and that the continuance and preservation of the said united " Church, as the Established Church of Eng land and Ireland, shall be deemed and taken to be an essential and fundamental part of the Union." And, as we see by the first supplementary article above given, the conditions, " each and every one of them, according to the true import and tenor thereof," "shall be in force and have effect for ever." Will this bill, then, or will it not be a repeal of the Union ? We must leave his Majesty's Ministers, with the consequences of the crime of high treason before their eyes, to answer this question. Clause 45 directs that, if the Primate or Bishop of Derry shall be in arrear of payment of the surplus of their incomes, which clause 43 orders them to pay over to the " Corporation" for the space of. "twenty-one days next after the same shall have become due and payable," the " Corporation" is to recover it by sequestration. Pretty sharp work this. We wonder whether the " Parlia-, mentary Corporation Inquisition Committee" will dis cover any case where the loaves and fishes ate so closely looked after, as is here directed for the guidance of this new anti-monarchico-temporo-spiritual Corporation. Clause 49 directs all monies, securities, and proper ties whatsoever in the hands of Trustees or Commis sioners of First Fruits, to be paid over to the new "Cor poration" for ever. So clause 50 directs that all monies bequeathed by two humane " Archbishops of Armagh towards buying glebes and augmenting poor livings in Ireland," are also to be paid over to the "Corporation" for ever. Is it quite certain that the specific trusts of these bequests will be as faithfully administered by the " Corporation" as by the original trustees? . Clause 51 says that the " Corporation" are " author ized and empowered, from time to time, at their discre tion, to lay out at interest all or any part of such mo nies as shall at any time hereafter by or under the pro visions of this act come to or be in their hands, or at their disposal, in the purchase of government or parlia mentary funds, stocks, or securities, and no other, either in England or Ireland; and from time to time change, transfer, or sell out such stocks, funds, or securities, or any part thereof, as they may find necessary or conve nient." A fine opening this for stockjobbing among some of the young " HANNIBALS." By clause 65, a complete control of all surplus funds is vested in the " Corporation," who are to dispose of such surplus, or any part thereof, in such proportions as t o the said " Corporation" shall seevafit. Clauses 74 and 75 authorize—the first, the lending of money at any reduced rate of interest which they shall think fit—and the second grants the same arbitrary powers of sequestration for the recovery of it, as are already granted with respect to other payments. Clauses 10.5 and 105 are two of the most striking attempts at breaking in upon the lay property - in the, Church ; some of the preceding clauses having autho rized the diminution of some parishes and the increase of others, the compensations for which, to be given and taken, are laid down here with blanks to be filled up in committee. We will pass over the next clause (107), which, with clauses 31 and 32, have been elsewhere described as compassing the death of the hierarchy and inferior clergy; as they unquestionably offer large bribes for their removal, and particularly in cases of the Bishops. When we reach clause 115, and attempt to wade through the matter which extends from thence to 143 inclusive,—occupying 25 printed pages, and involving every kind of legal and technical difficulty which the wit of man can devise, and which it will take more than the wit of man to reconcile and adjust—when we reach this point, the pen drops from our hand in despair. We talk not, as Lord Althorp did, when he affected surprise that Honourable Gentlemen should not be able in 48 hours to make themselves masters of the " principle" of the measure—not the details, but the principle. Painful as it would be to us to be subjected to the punishment of listening to one of his Lordship's long speeches, we would willin(4ly bear the infliction for three hours, to hear a difinition of principle, as applied to a measure which seems to us to be as destitute of any honest prin ciple as any wholesale act of spoliation that ever came under our notice. We should like to know which of the sapient law advisers of the " Ministers" will undertake the exposition of that which has no existence. Its defence we are quite prepared for, after what those sage lawyers, Lushington, Horne, and Campbell, lately advanced in justification of the piratical attacks upon the Dutch; not by Algiers or Tunis, but by England—once :honotirable England—hitherto the firm stay and support of her weaker but faithful allies —now, in conjunction with the revolutionary government of France, their shameless oppressor and plunderer. Defend the mea sure ! Ay, exulting—not only defend, but laud it to the skies, as a measure of " absolute wisdom" and justice, pure as " unsunned snow." Can that measure be defective in wisdom—wordly wisdom we mean—be its justice what it may, which creates the Commissioners of this " Corporation," with its innumerable inquisitorial Commissions, Secretaries, Treasurers, Clerks, " and such other subordinate officers as they" (the chief " Corporators") "' in their discretion shall think neces sary," with such salaries and emoluments as shall be appointed to be paid by the said three chief " Corpo rators," without limitation, with the further authority to, " defray all such incidental charges and expenses as shall become necessary," also without limitation. Can that measure, we again ask, lack wisdom which enables the Greys, the Ponsonbys, and the Plunketts of the day thus to depose the King from his high ecclesiastical authority, and, usurping the royal power, to wield with it the tremendous amount of patronage which they will thereby create, for the benefit of themselves, their families, and their parasites ? (FROM THE TIMES.) The dispute between the States of Wurtemburg and the Government is advancing to a crisis. By accounts received yesterday from Frankfort to the 12th inst., we learn that the committee of the Second Chamber to which the Royal rescript on the motion of the Deputy Von PFIZER was referred, made on the 7th a report which is by no means calculated to heal the breach between the representative and executive authorities. The nature of the' rescript which has given occasion to this proceeding need not to be stated here, as it was de scribed in our paper of the 11th. We have now to an nounce that the report which was drawn up and presented by the Deputy UHLAND vindicates the reception of Von PFIZER'S motion by the Chamber, and also the pro positions that motion contains, including the declaration on the resolutions of the Federal Diet. In conclusion it is observed, that to maintain the independence of the Chamber it is absolutely necessary to repel with energy the attempted interference in its proceedings. It is therefore proposed to return the following address in answer to the rescript:— "To your Royal Majesty we present most respectfully, in consequence of a rescript, what follows : " In the said rescript it is declared that we should, with marked disapprobation, reject a motion respecting the resolutions of the Federal Diet of the 28th of June, 1832. We, therefore, consi der it proper to explain, in the most decisive manner, that it is the right and the duty of every member of the Chamber to speak without reserve when the constitution is threatened, be it from whatever quarter it may, with danger. The motion has been entertained in the regular course of business, and we neither permit the order of our proceedings to be disturbed, nor any other character to be given to our decisions than that which they require—calmness and impartiality. We, therefore, can not reject with disapprobation the motion in question ; and as to the anticipated interference in the regular course of our tran sactions, we hold ourselves bound equally to guard the freedom of the Chamber and the responsibility of each of its members." The report was ordered to be taken into consideration on the following Monday, and as the Opposition have a very considerable majority in the Chamber, it is highly probable that the address, as proposed by the committee, will be adopted. (FROM THE STANDARD) Sir John Soane deserves all the praise of patriotic munificence, for his splendid gift and endowment for the public enjoyment and for the advancement of the arts; but if we are to believe in the continued reign of the doctrines now promulgated, and gravely acted upon, we must seriously question Sir John's good sense. The doctrine to which we allude is that which claims as public property whatsoever shall have been set apart for purposes, no matter how specific these purposes . may be, from which it is intended that the public should derive any benefit. This is the doctrine which would convert the qualified and limited interest, which the public has of right in the church property and corporation property, into an absolute dominion. According to this doctrine it is plain, that Sir John Soane's gift is no more likely to promote permanently the objects for which he designed it, than if it had "en dowed a college or a cat ;" or having turned the whole into money, had remitted it to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to enhance the contingent revenue of 1833. Our ancestors loved religion and they loved liberty; they accordingly endowed churches that the people might en joy the blessing of instruction in the word of Divine truth—and they endowed corporations, that these little oligarchical commonwealths (for such they were consti tuted at their foundation), being equally independent of the great and of the rabble, might every where (to use the words of Mr. Charles Fox) supply "permanent bo dies, in which the spirit of liberty might reside, and effec tual organs by which it might act ;" and, when the sad necessity might arise, "fortresses to protect the friends of their country from the vengeance of the court." A century ago, whoever talked of church property or cor poration property "as public property," would have been treated as a madman, and very justly denounced as an apostle of sacrilege and theft; because a century ago, though, perhaps, there was not more religion or honesty in the country than there is now (indeed, we beleve, there was less of both in a diffused state), public men had not acquired the jargon of "flash philosophy," which Mr. Burke at its introduction characterised as the "patois of fraud." Men affected still to respect religion, and rational liberty, and the right of property. Now, how ever, things have undergone a change; all power, all right, all capacity of judgment, is absorbed by the com plex tyrant and voracious extortioner set above the throne of heaven, and; of course set far above all authority of earthly power, and all obligation of duty to man as to God, under the title .of. "the Public." This idol despot may for awhile tolerate Sir John Soane's own dispoition of his own property, let the dilet tanti caprice expire, as it is expiring; let the greedy avarice which, under the pretences of "economy, re trenchment," &c. is sanctioning every meaness, injustice, oppression, and fraud, by putting the stamp of public approbation upon them, gain a little more, and the splen did collection and endowment to which we have been al luding, being made " public property," will become assets in the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (FROM THE COURIER.) Although it was understood in the House of Commons on Thursday night that Mr. PEASE, the member for the south division of the county of Durham, had consented to withdraw his notice of a motion to insert in the Irish Disturbances' Bill a clause empowering the Lord- Lieutenant to establish a Bank Restriction in Ireland, we find that (we should imagine by some inadvertence) the notice still remains upon the Order Book. It is rather remarkable-that the mode in which Mr. PEASE proposed to enact the Irish Bank Restriction, in a supplemental clause, to the Disturbances Bill, cor responds exactly with the plan suggested by the Dublin Evening Post, in an article extracted in our Paper on Thursday. We have heard many observations on the eager and patriotic anxiety with which Mr. SHELL begged the Member for Durham to withdraw the motion, on account of - the apprehensions which he, Mr. SHELL, entertained of the alarming consequences it might produce in Ire land. To us, we confess, it appears that Mr. SHELL is rather tardy with his expressions of anxiety for the tran quillity of Ireland. Mr. SHELL would surely have done more wisely had he addressed his deprecatory adjuraticblil to the Hon. Member for Dublin, when he suggested' cautious implications to the subservient tenants on e fertile property of agitation, the proceedings, whose a r happy results are detailed more strongly in every seeding account which reaches us from Ireland. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STAFFORD, March 9. BREACH 01 , PROMISE.—BOWLER V. JOHNSON. a n td Mr. JERVIS said that this was an action for a breach 0.1 4,11, mise of marriage. The plaintiff was an elegant young r ' o fi, possessing great personal charms, and was the dauehte d aiel gentleman, a hat-manufacturer, at Newcastle. He lia . about six years ago, leaving a widow and several childi e c oi whom the plaintiff was the eldest daughter. The defe% was of connections equally respectable, as he was the ° o af the late Mr. Johnson, an eminent earthenware mannia,!'; t y at Burslem. The plaintiff's family were of the Roman ' L i, lie persuasion, and the eldest brother of the plaintiff ha s r rie ried a sister of the defendant in 1827. They were ni a co bi according to the rites of the Catholic church, and the) . Aer i bited, it being intended that the marriage should be, as it a , b wards was, re-solemnized according to the rites of the ch ur o :boS England. It was also intended that the plaintiff, to jai the defendant had been paying his addresses, should shortly after,. ards. Plaintiff was of the age of tweet} years, the defendant being a minor, and, they having,,,O, married according to the rites of the Catholic church , joyed all the privileges of a husband—sometimes residielo; his wife at the house of her mother, and sometimes at the f of his own mother. By the Marriage Act a marriage g s o" kind was void, however it might be binding on the cons el i of the parties; and whether the defendant knew this s ow time time he knew not, but it would be proved that he had a e abandoned this lady, and had married another perso% defendant came of age early in 1829, and the plaints rlt, year became enceinte ; and it would be proved tin' o esi defendant had made a promise of marriage after he e 5 , 0 11F, age. The child was born in May; and had died, and, s' lo o as it was, it would appear that the defendant had ar i , e fir desired to see the corpse of the child; and that after that ilt . . s o' fendant had married a very amiable lady, of the name 0f,.? merslcy, but not without most serious remonstrance on tP e c s o li of the plaintiff. These were the circumstances of th e re j Seductions committed under a promise of marriage wel j er unfrequent; but a case like this was one that was neve r teo of. The damages, unfortunately, were laid too low , a only laid at £5OO, but the whole of that sum he her e the Jury would award the plaintiff. - e st The R , ev. Lewis Gerard said—l am the Catholic Pr i Colebridge, two miles from Newcastle. I married the il l' a tt i# tiff's brother and the defendant's sister. A week after t 0 ,0 1 defendant came to me to apply to me to marry bite r , br plaintiff, who came with him. They came in the evert', ' 0 '0: 1 5 tween seven and nine o'clock. There are no canonica l in our Church, and we often marry, in the evening, s c to parties are re-married the next morning in a Protestant , ce ole; The plaintiff's brother and his wife were re-married, `',o, ) ing to the English ritual, about a fortnight after I W ei them.

Mr. John Bowler, a brother of the plaintiff, said-A be aSl fendant's mother, before the m a r r i age a nd after, treal:lo, sister kindly. After the marriage she called my siste,l, Johnson. The defendant and my sister lived together t iff'7e and wife in my mother's house. I knew that the plail 4 enceinte in November, 1829. I saw the defendant at r o'i ther's as late as Christmas, 1829. The child died. l' o oo ber, 1831, I found the defendant and his mother, an",eo, l ,pt his sisters, in the parlour at his mother's. He had O.) my sister. I went to know why he had not married r d ei te 7 as he ought to have done. I asked him the reason, 0 t c ol he would not tell me. I said, " George ' you are 11- 9 0 . 1 .e i breaking your own promise, but stopping her from tn be sv o i any other person." He said, " I know that, and it is t ? " with me." I asked, "if he had any fault tatind with h er ,1 he said, " not in the least." 10 si Mr. Dutton identified the defendant as the person , ,11, married Miss Hamm,rsley. •He also stated that •IVl,, ° ; e te's mersley resided at a public-house; but whether she had - a waiter he did not k. Mr. C. PHILLIPS sa now id that if the servant-maid were b e t ii s ' there was a promise of marriage made by the defenda,i),,ree he became of age; but that was open to a- certain d'r to e . suspicion. Mr. Jervis had, on opening the case, beg all 'ea l and he (the learned counsel) had h ear d th a t h e had e ll , tik since he had had his brief; however, the tide had take° I .av and he observed that lie had laughed soon after the e1),°,1,1 0, ' of his speech. The grief of his learned friend secineue, injured his judgment, for he had actually asked a grar„ ii elderly Catholic priest, who had as good as taken a u oVi o il l , to look upon a woman as long as he lived, whether the l A•ef was beautiful. However, notwithstanding that, the % pil l , priest rather forgot him se lf, an d sa id h e th ou ght rh e i f t er, a little too thin; and when that had caused some lang t o); priest thought he had gone' too far, and said, " NOY ce r, about a lady's beauty ? I never look at it." 1 1 °, we r a, 01 ,' view that the priest took was in favour of the defenot . Jet„, did not at all come up to the glowing description of 1 ‘",4;,r 1 P .

Indeed, no sooner did he hear Mr. Jerv is j s deb ing the defendant as a compound of an Adonis, a° t o l'o l Chesterfield, than he immediately desired the attoruel e for r ig the defendant into court that he might be paraded u i jj jury. He (the learned counsel) was asked if he colllw c4tf the conduct of this young man ? He admitted that dered any man who made a promise ought to fulfil it;,_ though .he could not justify the defendant's cc:m(11110V could not help remarking that the plaintiff was much ° r9 ; t y! this boy. She was of full age—of the age of 23 ye 3 or o so, she took to the altar a boy of 19, who, even a . 1 , li`' church, could not have contracted a marriage withoil" sent of his parents. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £lOO. lfi t s' ll‘ REPRESENTATION OF WEST CUMBERLAND.— •:- little to add to the remarks we made last week til"' a ti'v O t is ject; but that little is most gratifying.
