MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
The [arrival of English Wheat for our market this
week coastwise has not exceeded 580 quarters, almost
holly from Essex. To-day the show of samples of
that grain was trifling in the extreme, while the demand
was steady at fully Monday's quotations. The imports
of foreign Wheat have amounted to 6,140 quarters.
Selected qualities of both red and white moved off freely,
at very full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds
scarcely any business was doing. No English Barley
at market, but the supply of foreign, 6,610 quarters, was
good. All kinds met a very dull inquiry. In the
quotations we have no change to notice. Malt was is
short supply and sluggish request, at last week's cur-
rencies. In Oats scarcely any business was transacted.
The out-of•condition sorts were lower to purchase. In-
dian Corn was held for more money. In all other
articles, including Flour, next to nothing doing. -

EXCHEQUER,.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
NESS V. ARMSTRONG.
This was an action by the secretary of the North of
England Joint Stock Bank, to recover a large sum of
money in respect of calls from the defendant, as the
executor of a deceased shareholder. At the trial a ver-
dict was found for the plaintiff, but, subsequently,
rule was obtained for leave to enter a nonsuit, which
came on for argument during last term, when it was
contended that inasmuch as the defendant had not re-
gistered himself as a shareholder, he was not liable for
any claims in respect of the testator's shares.
The Loan CHIEF BARON now delivered the judgment
of the Court, making the rule for a nonsuit absolute.
The Court then proceeded to hear arguments in moss
in which rules had been obtained for new trials, but
they were purely of a technical character, and wholly
devoid of general interest.

CONSISTORY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Dr. LUSHINGTON.)
FAWCETT V. FAWCETT.
This was a suit for a divorce instituted by the Bev.
Bryan Fawcett, a clergyman residing at Cropthall, i°
Worcestershire, against his wife, on the ground of adul-
tery. The lady is the daughter of Sir John Trevelyan, of
Wallington, in the county of Northumberland, and the
party with whom it is alleged she committed adultery
is Mr. Walter Trevelyan, her cousin, who resides et
Netherwitton, in the same county.
It appeared from the evidence in the cause that Mr.
and Mrs. Fawcett were married some few years ago, and
that there had been issue of the marriage. The adultery
is alleged to have been committed at Cropthall, the re•
sidenco of the husband, at Thropton, in Northumber-
land, and at Seaton Carew, a watering place, while Mr.
Walter Trevelyan was staying on a visit with
Mr. and Mrs. Faace tt in the year 1846. Jane
Rochester, the lady's maid of Mrs. Fawcett, deposed that
she first saw Mr. Walter Trevelyan at Netherwitton, in
Northumberland, and that she was in the habit of seeing
him afterwards whilst he was on a visit to her niaster,
and mistress at Seaton Carew. She was in the habit 01
letting Mr. Trevelyan out of her master's house at night,
and she spoke of the fact of the door of the draw leg'
rem being bolt( d inside on occasions when he and Mrs.
Fawcett were alone in the room. She spoke too of the
fact of seeing him afterwards at Thropton, in Northam"
berland. She deposed that Mrs. Fawcett was in the
habit of going into Mr. Trevelyan's bed-room at that
place, and to the fact of hearing him kiss her on one 00"
casion upon the stairs. On another occasion Mrs. Fog'
cett remained in Mr. Trevelyan's bed-room for a period
of twenty minutes. A Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, who kept the
lodging-house at Seaton Carew at which Mr. and MO'
Fawcett stayed, deposed to the endearing nature of the
intimacy which subsisted at that time between Mr. TO'
velyan and Mrs. Fawcett, and to her being frequentlY
alone with him in his bed-room, leading to the irresist-
ible inference of the commission of adultery. Mr. Dixon
deposed that Mr. Trevelyan lived entirely in the bees°
with Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett, that he was there frog
morning till night, that he took all his meals there, and
that Mr. Trevelyan and Mts. Fawcett were almost con-
stantly alone together; that they used to be alone to"
gether on occasions after the children had gone to bed;
that he (witness) had watched them go out to walk, and
that he had seen them conduct themselves as if they
were married, or rather as " a couple of children." 11°
watched them on another occasion, when they certain!):
appeared to him to act towards each other as husband
and wife. Ile spoke also of having seen that kind of
conduct between Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett which
left the impression strongly on his mind of criminal in-
tercourse. Jane Rochester went into the service of Mr'
and Mrs. Fawcett, as lady's maid, in September, 1846,
when they were at Longwitton, in Northumberland,
shortly before they went to Seaton-Carew. She deposed
that on one night, when Mrs. Fawcett and Me,
velyan were alone in the drawing-room at Seaton-Carey('
she heard the door of the room bolted inside. She dis;
tinctly heard the footsteps of a man in the room, and
from the tread she had no doubt they were those o'e Mr. Trevelyan. She had taken away the tea things
from the drawing-room a few minutes before. Mrs'
Fawcett and Mr. Trevelyan continued alone in the rooms
together for a long time, and it was not until between
ten and eleven o'clock, when Mr. Trevelyan was Pre;
paring to leave for the night, that she heard the door of
the drawing-room unbolted. The door of the room
remained bolted for a considerable time. There VMS 6
sofa in the room. When the parties returned to Crop'
thall, whither Mr. Trevelyan accompanied them, jail°
Rochester spoke to having heard a kiss pass between
Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett; and on one oc-
casion, about ten o'clock at night,
ndi
nmg 7he-nr o oMmr.. Fawcett was sitting down stairs in his d
as was his wont for a short time after family prayers,
witness was going up the back stairs, when she saw and
heard Mr. Trevelyan coming up the stairs. 110

turned to go into his bed-room, and witness
into her
13e had got a fire in his
that
bedroom at that moment;
heard him say to Mrs. Fawcett, who was going
room, and asked her to come and see hew nicely it
burned. Mrs. Fawcett went into Mr. Trevelyan's bed-
room, the door closed, and she came out again about
twenty minutes afterwards. That was between ten and
eleven o'clock at night; and when Mrs. Fawcett came
out of Mr. Trevelyan's bedroom, witness observed that
her Bair was very much " rumpled."

o named
mr.
and Mrs. Fawcett occupying separate rooms and never
sleeping together. Mr. Trevelyan, she stated, came
twice on a visit tot Cropthall, and stayed for 11
fortnight or morewh shea time. Witness used t°
think from saw that Mrs. Fawcett
and Mr. Trevelyan were greatly too familiar; Owl
conducted themselves towards each other in a very u 0
becoming manner. Witness once saw Mr. Trevelyan
put his arm round Mrs. Fawcett and kiss her. Things
went on in this way till they became matter of rumour
in the village of Cropthall, and at last reached the ears
of the husband himself, who prevailed upon his wife to
accompany him to the eoctinent. When they Iva.°
staying at Frank!ort, communications were made to bil';
touehing the pregnancy of his wife, he himself no:
having had intercourse with her from a time whieu,
would account for that pregnancy. On being taxed
with her pregnancy, Mrs. Fawcett admitted the truth
of it, but solemnly assured her husband that she
had not been unfaithful to him. Mr. Fawcett'
however, could not resist a different conclusion, and
he immediately had his wife conveyed t°
her friends at Wallington,.from whence, after some
little time, she went to reside in Edinburgh, where, on
the 6th of July, 1848, she was delivered of a child. -11:.
witness deposed to Mr. Trevelyan visiting Mrs. Faweett
an hour and a Lalf after confinement, and to being see'
in her bed-room with her on the third day after.
Dr. PFIILLIMORE and Dr. R. PHILLIMORE, on behalf
of the husband, severally addressed the Court,. andcoo
tended that the facts given above led to the irresistible
conclusion that a criminal intercourse had taken place
between the parties.
Dr. ROZliwsozi said he appeared on the part of the
