spa 4eavours made by defendants in these

4A4 .elt °ccasions, and behold him unblushingly
tht4tltPticiently
stigmatize the character of. the
‘°14,1144' whose crime at all events he -glared-
-114 We behold him heaping obloquy on a weak
female, and dragging her before the
"
hsc wit
ah all her faults all her errors) and all
cc dill
-I°es, with, no other purpose but to'

screen himself—indignation is excited,•and can•
tempt is turned to loathing and disgust. We do
not wish to hide the fault of the female ;
or to be understood as offering the least excuse
for such conduct on her part. Far from it, we
condemn it to the full, but would leave her to
her own reflections, and the scorn and infamy
which attends such debasement of the female
character. In this she will find punishment
enough, and many, many bitter tears will attest,
the pain and misery she has brought upon herself.
But is it so with the man ? He has blighted
the prospects of a husband or a father, or hasten-
ed the rain of a woman, who although charge.
able with levity had never yet been absolutely
criminal. Ile has done all this, and yet hope
to escape the censure of the world, and to go un-
requited for his crimes. He confesses his crime,
and yet hopes all this, because he says the woman
was worse than himself. Such a plea is only an
aggravation of the offence.
We have been led into these remarks by the line
of defence which was adopted in a cause lately
tried in the Court of King's Bench, and which we
are sorry to say i 3 growing too general. It is re-
sorted to upon all occasions, and appealed to as
forming an unanswerable demand upon the Jury
to assess their damages at the lowest sum.—
Happy we are to add, that in the case alluded
to it was unsuccessful, and that the Jury repu-
diated the defence as false, or, if true, as un-
worthy of consideration.

rßELAND,—(Representative Peerage.)—state
of Voting yesterday :—Lord MouNTcAsnEL, 31 ;
Lord FARNIIAII, 31.—We understand that Lord
FARNHAM has sent a special messenger to the
Court of Russia, to get the vote of Lord STItANG-
FORD, the British Ambassador. There is about
46 Peers to rote yet. The poll must he kept
open until the 16th instant.—(Dublin Evening
Post, Dee. 3.)

CAPE or Goon HorE.—Letters from the Cape
of Good Hope, to the 25th of September, were received yester-
day. Nothing had been heard then of the Enterprise steam-
vessel, which left England on the voyage to India on the 10th
.of August, and had, consequently, been out 45 days. She was
expected to have reached the Cape in 30 or 35 days. The
Commercial Advertiser (Mr.' Greig's paper) of the 21st,
publishes the debates in Parliament of the 18th and 22d
of June, on the presentation of Mr. Burnett's petition,
together with the petition itself. On this publication
a private letter remarks, that a very salutary effect was
produced by it on the colonists, who entertained so formidable a
notion of the power and family influence of Lord Charles So-
merset, that they did not, believe that any charges against him
would be entertained by the British Ministry. Colonel Bird,
formerly the Government Secretary, was to sail for England
on the 6th of October in the Espiegle, and to carry with him
for presentation to the Colonial Office copies of all the procla-
mations, addresses, petitions, &e., relative to 'the recent al-
teration in the currency. It ha been intended to dispatch
Sir John Truter, a Judge of the Supreme Court, to England
with the documents, but a suspicion gaining ground that he was
too much devoted to the interest of the Governor, means were
found to set him aside. The colonists had also been able to
defeat another project of a still less equivocal nature—to get up
an address to the English Government from the Dutch settlers,
to continue Lord Charles-Sum erset irt—the—gavernutant_of the
Cape. They were perfectly well disposed to this before the
publication of the debates ; but their sentiments were so much
changed by them, that nearly to a man they all refused their
signatures.—( Times.)

THE POST-OFFICE.—Mr. FREELING has sent
the following answer to the query of a gentleman who consulted
him as to the practice of the bellman requiring a penny on the
delivery of a newspaper to him :
" General Post-office, Nov- 29-

" Sift—l have received your letter of yesterday's date. You
have been misled by the paragraph to which you allude; and
there is neither abuse' or 4 impOsition' on the part of the bell-
man in requiring the usual sum of one penny for every letter or
newspaper delivered to him.-1. am, Sir, your obedient servant,
44 F. FREELING, Secretary.
" Mr. Joseph Pedley, 373, Oxford-street."

The Bogota Gazette of the 15th of September
contains a letter from General Sucre, dated Chuquisaca, the
24th of May. It states that every thing was quiet in the five
provinces of Upper Peru. The General stated that he intended
to proceed on the 30th to Cochabamba, and thence to La Paz,
to meet the Liberator, who was expected to arrive there early in
June. Bolivar, however, on the Bth of June, was at Arequipa.
The letter which he wrote from that place, on hearing of the
recognition of Colombian independence by Great Britain, has
already been laid before the public.
The Gibraltar Chronicle received yesterday
states, that the fever on the opposite coast had arrived at such a
dreadful height, that the inhabitants were falling dead in the
streets. A subscription had been opened at Gibraltar for the
sufferers at Tangier.
Many erroneous statements having appeared
regarding the measures taken by the Court of Directors of the
East India Company, in view to relieving the money-market
during the late crisis, it has been thOught right simply to state
what has been clone. The Court resolved to discount at 4 per
cent. their own acceptances of all bills of exchange due in De-
cember, January, February, March, and April next, thus an-
ticipating a payment of 800,0001.; and upon the greater part
thereof for upwards of five months. The tea prompt was not
ppstponed, nor was any application made to the Court for that
purpose : the sum receivable was not larger than is usual, and
it has been very well paid up. Exchequer bills receivable for
duties, are taken at the India House in payment of the excise
duty on tea.
A report prevails in York that Lord MIDDLE-
TON had again signified his intention to subscribe 20,000/. fir
the advancement of the election of the Anti-Catholic candi-
dates.—(Leeds Mercury.)
In consequence of a large extra arrival of in-
land and•foreign letters, the letter carriers were
not dispatched from the General Post Office
iesteiday morning until a later hour than usual.
Several .pqst,..chari*RA. were dispatched on Sun-
day from Lombard-street with supplies of gold
for country banks.
THE WooL T A DE:-,We are sorry that we
should have been inadvertently instrumental to
encourage hopes which are not fully justified by
the situation of general circumstances. The in-
formation given in our last, respecting the im-,
provement in the wood trade in Wakefield, was
communicated to us apparently from the best
authority, and was confirmed by the little
inquiry time allowed us to make. From sub-
sequent and more extensive inquiry, however,
we f►nd that the only improvement has been in
wethers, and that cannot be stated at the utmost
at, more than 10s. per sack. In hogs there is in
reality • no .assignable advance ; nor does the ge-
neral.stath of the woollen trade inspire any san-
guine hopes .of a speedy improvement•, as manu-
factured goods, in general, can scarcely be dis-
posed of without loss.—(Wakefield Journal.)
