THE Jaws.—Mr. 110111110USL gave eisiicc, that early
in the nest Session he should bring forward the case of
aoother Mess of hit Majesty's subjects (besides the Dissen-
ters mentioned by Mr. W. Smith)—he meant the Jews t—it
could hardly be believed that in this enlightened age the Jews
were still labouring under certain legal disabilities, in the
City of London•as well as elsewhere.
fhe House went into a Committee on the Regent's Park
Barracks Agreement Bill.
Mr. CA LCRA FT milted w hat were the number of Acres
to be encltweil, and what was the estimated expence of the
wall to enclose the harem ks.

b. CHANCELLOR of itic EXCHLQC ER replied, u e
beli^ve, eigiity acres.
Mr. CALCRA FT declared the m hole scheme was
miat extravagant, licid lie should oppusr it, if he ►tood
alone.

Mr. CA LV ERT observed, that be must impose the great
grant now required; besides there were several acres near
the Ophthalmic linspital which might be appropriated to
such purpose.
Mr. T. WILSON said he must also oppose the present

measure, especially after the imperfect explanation given by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Sir H. PARNELL was likewise against conferring the
grant required by this measure, as extravagant and uncalled
for. After what had passed in that House an the subject of
the finances, it would be unbecoming in them to agree to
the will.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. regarding
the expenses, was naderstreel In say, that as the whole esti-
mated expeecc was 70,0001. (the barracks beinA 55,0001)

limn Senile Twang.—Time House went into a Coin.
mince on the Irish Distillery Acts.
The CHANCELLOR alike EXCHEQUER said he did
not intend to press the Bills daring the present Session. He
proposed to bring them in, to have them printed, and then to
culler them to stand over till next Session, in order that they
might experience the amplest examination on the part of
iudivitlualsia Ireland.
Ihe Resolutions were then pat and agreed to, and the
Chairman was instructed to apply for leave to bring ia Bills
accordingly.
Leave was afterwards given to bring in such Bills.
Tau Queas.—Sir J. NEWPORT asked, in the event
elks Bill which was POW before the other House.-coming
down to this House, whether it was the lineation to move a
call of the Members. We believe he also asked, whether
the same forms be followed in the Commons which were to
be pursued in the Lords.
'llw CHAN C ELI.OR of the EXCH EQU ER replied, that
lie was not aware of any intention existing to move the call
of the hoar; but he apprehended, on so solemn and import-
ant an occasion, that every Member would deem it his duty
to nttend.—(ltear, hear.)
Sir J. NEWPORT added. Hint he did not make the
enquiry for himself; but he put it in order to prevent any
misunderstanding on the subject, and as the Bill, if it
passed the other House, might come on them rather
suddenly.
A swain s 07 Braces.—Lord J. RUSSELL alluded to this
case, and observed, that Bruce had been ordered for tram.
partition, while Mageunis had been executed; if Bruce
were guilty, such punishment was too lenient—if ienticeut,
too severe.
Mr. CLIVE observed, that an be knew was, that Brace
waste'. ered for transportation; that such order was given
on the iludge'r notes; and that there was nothing in such
notes to authorise the case gulag under any peculiar con.
sideratina.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice,
that on Monday he should move that the Howe adjourn till
Friday.
The Orders of the Day being -disposed of, the House
adjourned.

BARON BERG AM.
•
[From " The Tintes."l
"We have before expressed our astonishment at
that part of the preamble of the Bill against the
Queen which reflects upon Be i's humble situ-
ation on his first entering her X:sty's service. It
is not, surely, of a crime in her Majesty to elevate
or promote an active, faithful, honest servant ; nei-
ther is it an offence in Bergami to have been ori-
ginally in a menial situation. But if it was meant
to be inferred that a man could not be the object of
so extensive a promotion except on account of im-
proper familiarities, the history of that very person
who is supposed to have advised the Milan commis-
sion, and who stood so high in the confidence of the
King, would of itself falsify the suggestion. His
birth and situation in life were originally snore
humble than those of Bergami, and yet his rise
throws no imputation upon those who advanced
him. The person of whom we speak originally
swept the door before the house of Sir Robert
Taylor, the father of the present Mr. Michael A.
Taylor: his behaviour was such as to induce his
master to promote him, and he made hint a Poll-
clerk at an election about this time he attracted
the notice of Mr. Graham, the future Judge, who
assisted him, and recommended him to apply to legal
study : his activity and intelligence, in this and
similar situations, still pressed hint up into higher
stations, till he became what we now see him. The
preamble of the Bill, if it meant to affix Bergami's
advancement to the Queen, or even to himself, as a
crime, should have stated not only the advancement,
but the unworthiness of the person advanced; and
from such an allegation secret or suspicious services
might have been inferred : but the mere facts that
he was once a menial servant, and is not- the
(ti en's Chamberlain, decorated by foreign Colas
with certain of their Orders, proves nothing; and
it was an invidious course of proceeding to mention
them. The disgrace, therefore, which was meant
to result, has justly fallen upon the heads of those
who brought the story forward. Bergaini's talents
would have entitled him to the same promotion in
the service of any discerning, nine° in Europe."

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FRIDAY, JULY ►4.

CAMPUELL Y. DELMONT.

This was an action in which the plaintiff, a Colonel
of marines, sought to recover a compensation from the
defendant, a gentleman of landed property in Lincoln-
shire, and a Captain in the same corps, for the seduc-
tion of his wife, the damages were laid at 20,0001.
The Solicitor-General stated the case to the Jury,
and called the following witnesses.
Capt. Campbell, of the Navy, proved the marriage
of the parties on the 9th of December, 1802. Mrs.
Campbell was Miss Mowbray; her father was a Major
and Barrack-Master at Chadian'. Witness was in the
habit of visiting at Plaintiff's house, up to the time
of Mrs. Campbell's elopement. They were a most
happy and most attached couple; their affection ap-
peared to be mutual. Witness knew Mr. Delmont;
he was introduced to him by a letter of Cr 1. Camp-
bell's, written to witness whilst commanding the Le-
vialkise, in the Mediterranean, bespeaking his inten-
tions for Mr. Delmont, then a Subaltern, serving on
board. the York.
Cross-exatnined.—Col. Campbell, at his marriage,
was:about forty, Mrs. Campbell one or two-and-
twenty. The last time witness visited the Colonel was
in 1817; he saw no difference in the conduct of the
plaintiff and his wife at that time towards each other
to what it had been former:y. Witness first saw de-
fendant at plaintiff's house in 1814; he had no inti-
mate knowledge of the defendant.
Mrs. widow of the late General Innis, knew
Mrs. Campbell and Colonel Campbell from the years
1795. Mrs. Campbell passed six weeks with witness
during the Colonel's absence on service in Holland in
1814. Witness knew him intimately; it was impos.
amble fur any persons to live more happily than they
did. The Colonel was a most kind and affectionate
husband.
Cross-examined.--Mrs. Campbell is near forty; thinks
the Colonel is turned of sixty. Captain Del iiiii en
never, to witness's knowledge, drove Mrs. Campbell
from Chatham to town in a gig. Witness recollected
one occasion on which Capt. Delmont drove Mrs.
Campbell from witness's house, in town, to General
fluke's, near Foot's Cray, in a gig. Witness under-
stood Captain Delmont was Col. Campbell's most par-
ticular friend. _ _ _

Mrs. Page had known Col. Campbell thirty years,
and Mrs. Campbell previous to her marriage. Had
visited them since their marriage most iiiiimately.
They were an extremely happy couple. Col. Campbell
introduced Capt. Delmont to WillICI'S as his most parti-
cular friend.

Sir H. Bell, General of Marines, had known Colonel
and Mrs. Campbell tor 14 or 16 years, and for ten
years visited them frequently ; they were for that time a
most happy couple. Witness had seen them only oc-
casional l y for the last six years, but there appeared to
him no 'alteration : the Colouel was a most indulgent
husband.
Sir Richard Wtlliam3 deposed to the affection appa-
rent between the plaintiff and his lady.
Thomas Briggs lived servant with the Colonel for a
year and a half previous to Mrs. Campbell's quitting her
house. Proved the affectionate terms and the confidence
which existvd between his master and mistress. Capt.
Delmont was a frequent visitant, he dined with the Co.
lonel every Sunday.
Cross-examined.—Witness did not live in the Colo-
nel's house, but was there every day, from nine in the
morning till six in the evening. was another
matt-servant in the house. Witness never saw Captain
Delmont drive Mrs. Campbell in the gig. The Captain
sometimes slept in the house.—Witness never saw any
thing to excite suspicion in the conduct of either Nits.
Campbell or Capt. Delmont.
Wright, the other man servant, deposed to the same
effect, as to the happy terms on which his master and
miasma lived. Mrs. Campbell quitted her home on the
6th of April, 1818. Witness traced! Mrs. Campbell to
Story's Gate, in the Park, and there lost sight of her
entirely.
Cross-examined.—Witness went of his own accord to
Capt. Delmont's solicitor, who told him that lie would
produce Capt. Delmont at any time, or receive process
for him, but winless did not tell his master. The Cap-
tain used to call frequently, almost every day, sometimes
twice a day. Mrs. Campbell used to sit in her dressing-
room, and frequently received the Captain there, who
sometimes staid two or three hours at a time. Oit sonic
occasions, when the Captain dined there, the Colonel
would continue in the dinino-room after the Captain
and Mrs. Campbell had quilted the room ; and the Co-
lond would sometimes go out and and leave the Captain
with his lady. Sometimes the Colonel would go to bed
of an ettenia', and leave Mrs. Campbell and the Captain
together, and'the Capt. sometimes took her out in his gig
—he was frequent.lter companion. Once saw her wear
a ring, which one of the female servants s..id the Captain
gave her; recollects sonic articles being seta alter her
when she had quitted her home. There was a sofa in
the dressing-room, and the room had a double duar.
Believes the other presents were to the Colonel and Mrs.
Campbell. She was in the habit of receiving company
its her dressing-room ; it was in the room in which she
saw company; she might sometimes dress there.
Thomas Baldwin was walking on the road, on the 6th
of April, and saw thedefendant aud Mrs. Campbell pass
him in Capt. Delmont's house.
George Nash, a serjeaut of marines, was sent in pur-
suit of Mrs. Campbell, but could not trace thesis. Ile
sew them by accideut in Oxford-street in the October
following, and traced them to No. 200, Oxford-street.
He afterwards enquired at that house fur Mr. and Mrs.
Delmont, and was told by the servant they were gone
out.
