ROP7LEY •. 10111117.

In the Westminster polies-wart yesterday, Mr.
Sleigh, barrister, imtruoted by Mr. Tense, solicitor to the
Hon. Hugh Booby, applied t..) Mr. Paynter for a summons
calling upon the ban. gentlerma's late 'wife to answer to a
charge of perjury, alleged to have hem committed by her
on the resent trial, in which she sought for end obtained a
dkaolution of marriage from hie client.

The Ruud ocuussel stated that the hon. patina= did
not appear upon that trial because he had no shower to the
charge of adultery; tent he could not remain quiet under
the aggravated charges of eewslty which had been brought
against bits, sad of which be virtually had no idea until ha
read theca in the public) papers. Mr. Sleigh then read the
report of the trial, imputing most brutal conduct to
his client, mud proceeded to say that thee were three
assignments of perjury—the ern of these was, that the
lady had sworn that the hon. gentlemen had never given
her a farthing since she was married to him, when, in
truth end in fact, he (Mr. Sleigh) could prove most din
timely that his client bad given her 1,4001., which bad
been paid into her solicitor's hands, sad consequently
through him to her, which the learned counsel contended
was sußcient to naiades her statement. Tie second 'anon-
mint was that his client had cut her heir off; and any
person reading snob a statement in the paler., without
anything to contradict it, weld naturally suppose that
the hen. gentleman bed on his wife's hair off, in the
, same meaner as ens would shear a sheep. Ile could prove
I that nothing of this ad nature had taken place,
" and the sobatka to tbh seemingly barbarous treatment
was, as he was instructed, as follows:—Toe Ron. Mr.
Rowley was on the Centime; sod one morning some friends
looked la. They waited long past the tosakhat time, as long,
he (Kr. Sleigh) believed., ea an hoar and a half before they
began their meal, end the lady mode her appearance in about
two hours. It seemed, in order to appear to advantage,
she deemed it necessery to weer on each of her fan a curl
which reached as low as her was; and on her husband ask-
ing why she was so lmg beyond her usual time, she replied
she could not dress her heir under two boon, or something
to that Mkt His dim; epos tha; amid that she ought to
dress her heir, ea other ladies did, la a more becoming style,
and the answer she made was. that if he did not like the
curls be bed nine note them, when he took up a pair of
minors and ourtaialy calmed the own. The third 'align-
ment of petjury was, OA the hon. (madman had knocked
her down to a most brutal manner. It would seem, however,
that on the occasion sworn to by the lady a conversation took
place, which the lensed comae! would hardly like to re-
Thepeat honourable gentleman had Mat come from
Rapt, and a beautiful pistol, inlaid with turquoise and other
precious atoms, which he had brought with him, was lying
upon the table. Soe took this up and struck at him, and
at the semi time, using language most unteooraing a lady,
wished the pistol was loaded, that she might shoot him
dead upon the spot. She did fall down afterwards., but he
(Mr. Sleigh) had proof that his diem did not strike her at
all. The honourable gentleman was en officer in the army,
and a gentleman mod to mingle In the first society, out of the
has of which such uagenilemsaly and brutal oteduct, If ft
were true, would place him In the eyes of ovary seeable
and respectable person. It was, therefore, he costanded,
. most material that such nakauided stigmas should be re-
moved from his client's character, and be therefore, on these
ground; solicited a eummuns against the lady in question.
Mr. Faynter maid he observed on reading the repot that
the hair was alleged to have been removed by force.
Mr. Sleigh replied that wee so. The lady had said upon
, the trial that her hair had been removed with force, and
, notwithstanding her renitence.
The Hon. Hugh Rowley was then sworn sad examined
1 by Mr. Sleigh—Rs slid he bed bend what Mr. Sleigh had
, odd in hie behalf, sad to He hest of hie belief the three
statemente which teemed the aesignments of perjury had
ban knowingly and wilfully made by his late wile, who
. was aware that they were Wee, and in addition he could
prove—although that had nothing to with the core—that'
she bad, la a room full of people, theestened to take away
t his lit. As regarded the smarties that he hod given far
. no money, It was ridiculous and untrue. the tutting a
' small portion of hair off her head was • mere joke, and it
t was untrue that he bad out it off with Tinian; sad as to
; knocking her down, that was also untrue, and both inonstrom
and absurd.
The summons was then granted, to be betted when the
I Deramary document termed the information in writing should
i he brought to the court.

XI. W. C. MACALIpI 4.7 WESTON-BE72R-

iilaTs:

(From the BUrbotwo lernsel.)

• Mr. Macready gave one of his inimitable readings
from the English Poem, at the Town Hall, on Thursday
evening last, tor the benefit of the Working Yee's institute
and other educational societies. As was to be expected, the
visit of this veteran exponent of Shakopere's matchless
muse wee the signal fur one of the meet crowded gathering*
ever held in Weston, including members of %lomat every
leading family in the town and neighbourhood.
E. A. KUMLA/V., Esq., the president of the institute,
through Wlttee solicitation Mr. Mee lady was prevailed upon
to appear befoul a Walton annum, occupied the chair,
and introduced the distinguished visitor to the audi-
ence, observing Wet one of the proudest moments
in his life was in in to them this evening
his distinguished friend Mr. the greatest ad
living tragedians, end one of the of Shaksperha
critics. If he were gibed with the powers of eloquence
he would not desire a nobler theme Wen to trace the
mageiSeent career of Mr. Maaeady through all the
stages of his honoured lib, end of the services which ha
has rendered to the Reticle by inducing thousands of per-
sons to become conversant with the writings of those
monartha of literature, the hemortai Shakapere and the
ekinous Milton; but he would now only beg to thank Mr.
Mseresdy for the honour which be had conferred on them by
a visit to this town, and for the intellectual treat which he
had so gemseously provided foe them.
Mr. MACREADT woo on coming forward as. received
with great applause, looked remarkably well—age site
lightly upon him; sac though the youthful vigour which
gave unrivalled power to his enunciation thirty years
ego has departed, his voles was still heard in all its varied
modulations throughout the entire assembly. In hie intro-
ductory remarks he adverted to the impatiense of education.
It was notorious that in the education of their people they
were far behind the United States, and even the Caaadu;
at the same time they might congratulate themselves on the
fact that their unmoral^ ie. had been awakened to the import-
ance of the matter, and now sought, by means of price', to
stimulate to proficiency those who were onxiutis to repair the
deficiencies of their early education. This, ho continued,
war a matter demanding general co-operation ; for if
they waited, as some suggested, until eovernment was
able to &opus. of the impedimenta which stood in the
way of a national scheme, they might stead, like the
rustic at We river's side, waning for that which would
never come to pates. If, even In the mune of a few
session they might look forward to such a thing, how
many would have to deplore the want of opportunity to
cultivate their power*. Before entering on the subjects
which he had selected to read that evening, it would not be
oonsidenad out of place If he made some alight reference
to that art by which they endeavoured to convey to their
hearers not only the words, but the inner feelings of the
heart. It might, perhaps. appear to ••••3 that, he set
too high an Intimate in diguityieg that as an art in
which no one contented te • deficiency. Every one could
read. but, he %eked, could everyone hetet. to their
readied For hi. own part, one of the greatest of Intel-
lecteal luxuries was to listen to the poweeful reading of
the eloquent utterances of their great welters. It might
be eaten, where did they tear this? and too often it
we. Use echo that returned the o.ll.lwef. It would
Mined grieve him to offend any of the fair portion of
his audience, by telliog them that there might be more
charming and more genuine music from their sweet
voices in reeding, then from their singing an air of
Verdi or Mozart. Everyone could lend his ears to ermine
of music, but it was not everyone who cold appreciate •
noble passage of poetry. Nevertheless, in what is considered
the fastooneble world, the intellectual was made aubordinate
to the euperfbial and noneementlY. Let him put in a word
for reading ea an accuipliehment He believed It was sit
Amon:minium:tent whorl. required es much time and practice
forks acquirement as the music of their Snit composers.
Excellence was never attained without labour. It was only
conceit and pretension that would presume to claim the
time and attention of those who knew tooe's worth. Is
the case of music, little distioction was made between
those who could play and those who could not play ;
those who had ears and those who Ind none. All was
brought up to the eacriSciel altar, while those who stood
round were listable to relocate' rate. While: contending for
reading, be yielded tenons in his love for music—pood mute.
Mr. Macready than real the story of Le Fevre, from Sterne's
•• Triattasu Shandy." The vitality thrown into the cha-
racters of the old captain end hie faithful servant, Corporal
Trim, msde the Settler well nigh forget surrounding
circumstance* and placed him in the coey parlour, in oom-
pony with tie neerenti. Campbell's Exile of Erie
followed, with ornerier pathos, eliciting unbound. d epplatme.
He next read a mooted from the Fif h Book of
" Paradise Lost," including Eve's Dream and Adam's
Morning Hymn. Cam "Lord Ulltn's Daughter'
was the next *election, which was strikingly given. The
reading concluded site an act from Snaltrpere's //eery
I Pi, where Prince Unary removes the crows from his
father', pillow.
The CHAIRMAN then, in a few word., proposed a vote of
thanks to Mr. Macready, which wee carried by acclamation.
Mr. MACIII•DT, in returning thanks, said it was with
very greet Venous he had made that visit to them on behalf
of much se object. He also congratulated them on the very
laudable attempt they were making in the establishment of a
tide corps for Westoneauper-Mare. He theught that such •
0104111Ul• should not be adopted as the result of any potpie in
teferruoe to an invasion, but that it should bee constitutional
and national movement. In the United States of America,
in twenty-tour hour, nearly half a million of men, under
arms, might be concentrated in one spot ; and though they
might not like to imitate America in .11 her movements, he
thought they might copy her example in this ripped with
&drainage. At the same time, whilst they were muting
against the probable approach of any foreign enemy, let
them not forget that there WY a domestic enema, whom be
wished they would sll become maxima to eremenate—that
was the enemy Ignorance.
