MORNING SUN

quence7 she left her husband's house in the middle of
the night, and travelled with a Mrs. Green to Norwich;
he (the Learned Jude) did not think there was anything
to justify the step of her leaving her husband. Eighteen
witnesses contradicted the statement that Mr. Loftus's
violence made it impossible they should live comfortably
together. All the eighteen witnesses speak of his man-
ner to his wife being uniformly kind, and deny that he
was in the habit of swearing. The case showed that
Mr. Loftus had been in the habit of using some of the
language described, and whatever irritation he might
have had, it could not justify him. The Learned Judge
concluded judgment by saying nothing had occurred to
justify her leaving her husband, and he was bound
therefore to declare that the marriage being well proved,
Mr. Loftus is fully entitled to the judgment for which
he prays, and that Mrs. Loftus do return to her husband.
It is reported that other proceedings will be taken.

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.
TRADE or LEEDS.—The cloth markets at both
Cloth Halle have been quite as dull this week as last,
and prices are exceedingly low where sales are effected.
This is particularly the case for goods of fine qualities,
for although the stocks of this description are smaller
than usual, yet such is the state of the market, that the
manufacturer cannot sell at prices that will pay him.
There has been rather more business done in the ware-
houses since the 20th instant, but on the whole it has
been very dull, and there is a pretty general opinion
entertained that business is not likely to improve for
some time to come.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 25,
—There has been a very fair demand for flannels to-
day, though the market has been but thinly attended.
Prices remain the same ; indeed there has been no
change for some weeks back. The wool market has
been more than usually dull ; and, on account of the
prices giving way, the manufacturers buy very spar-
ingly.—Leeds Mercury.

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL J. W. HOL-
LAND.—This gallant naval officer expired at his residence
at Bath on Tuesday last, in his 76th year. The deceased
Admiral had been upwards of fifty years in the naval
service, and his commission as Lieutenant is dated as far
back as June 1794. He was Midshipman on beard the
Queen Charlotte in Lord Howe's action, when he was
severely wounded ; and in 1801, when senior Lieutenant
of the Phoebe, took an active part in the gallant engage-
ment between that vessel of war and L'Africaine, which
was captured ; and for the wounds he received on that
occasion he was promoted. He retired in June, 1838,
on half-pay.
The Staff of the New Governor-General of India,
Lord Ellenborough, consists of Captain Somerset, of the
Grenadier Guards (son of Lieutenant-General Lord
Fitzßoy Somerset), as Military Secretary ; Lieutenant
Colville, gazetted last night from 85th to the 40th Foot
(son of General Sir Charles Colville), and Lieutenant
Durand, of the Bengal Engineers, as Aides-de-Camp.
A gentleman from the office of the Board of Control, it
is understood, will accompany the Governor-General as
Private Secretary. Lord Ellenborough embarks in the
Cambrian, Capt. Chads, on the 4th of next month ; and
Lord Auckland embarks for England early in March.—

Lord Wharncliffe is suffering under a slight at-
tack of gout in the hand.
THE NEW VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURTS...-
Committee-rooms No.l and No. 2 of the House of Com-
mons have been fitted up as temporary courts for the
new Vice-Chancellors. Mr. Knight Bruce and Mr.
Wirrram will take the oaths of office to-day before the
Lord Chancellor, and afterwards proceed with their judi-
cial business.

An American paper complains, that in salting
down horses for victualling the Navy, sufficient attention
is not paid to the removing the shoes, and that in con-
sequence the teeth of many of the sailors have been pretty
considerably injured.
THE ARMY IN CHlNA.—Several corps are
ordered from the Madras Presidency, to reinforce Sir
Hugh Gough's army, and the strong drafts embarking
from England will proceed direct to China. The desti-
nation of the 98th Regiment was this week changed from
the Mauritius to China, and that corps will embark
forthwith. Supplies equal to many months' consump-
tion for ten thousand men, are also being shipped for our
forces in China.
DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.—TEN LIVES
LOST.—BLYTH, OCT. 28.—This day being appointed by
the Committee of Management for the lifc-boat at this
place to have her examined, and see if she was properly
fitted and ready in cases of emergency, the brig Sibsons,
of this port, from Archangel, appearing off the harbour
this morning, and the owner, Mr. Joseph Hodgson, being
desirous of giving the captain instructions, she was
launched into the water about ten o'clock, A.M., and
manned, when, lamentable to state, after having pro-
ceeded a short distance from the entrance of the har-
bour, a heavy sea struck her, and she was seen by the
assembled spectators on shore to upset, and out of twelve
persons on board only two were saved. The following
are the names of the persons, viz. :—Mr. Joseph Hodg-
son, shipowner, and Joseph Rinde, seaman, were saved ;
and those who perished were—Mr. Henry Deberd, ship-
owner, Mr. Robinson Burn, pilot, Edward Wood, car-
penter, John Hodson, George Heron, 'William Dixon,
Daniel Dawson, John Heppell, James White, George
Tirrell, and Peter Bushell, seamen. The sufferers are
nearly all married men, and have left families. Mr.
Hodgson, the owner of the Sibson, saved himself by
seizing one of the oars, and lashing himself to it, when
he drifted on shore in a state of insensibility, but is re-
covering. It is impossible to describe the gloomy sensa-
tion which pervades Blyth, consequent on this awful ca-
tastrophe.—Shipping Gazette.
Lord Fitzgerald and Vesey had a long interview
with Sir James Graham, yesterday morning, at the
Horne-office.

Jeannelle Seh, a young woman who in May last
threw a quantity of vitriol into the face of the young man
who had been her lover, but was about to be married to
another, a circumstance which we mentioned at the
time, was last week brought before the Court of Assizes
to take her trial. The facts were clearly proved, and
the Jury found her guilty of wilful and premeditated
wounding, with intent to murder, but added that there
were extenuating circumstances. She was sentenced to
ten years' close confinement and the pillory. When the
judgment was pronounced, she fainted away, and was
carried back to prison in the arms of the gendarmes.

_
LORD WALDEGRAVE AND CAPT. DUFF.
—(From a Correspondent.)—These gentlemen having
completed their term of six months' incarceration in the
Queen's Bench, in consequence of being implicated in
the attack on the policeman Wheatley some time back,
will be released to-morrow (this day). Under the full
conviction that neither his Lordship nor the Captain had
directly any part in the assault on the policeman, the in-
habitants in the vicinity of Lord Waldegrave's estate at
Strawberry-hill have prepared to welcome him home
with a procession and fete, to be followed by illumina-
tions in the evening.
The General Steam Navigation Company's
Packet, the Columbine, W. Norwood, from Rotterdam,

MORALITY OF THE GLOEE.—Asusual, when
dealing with Exchequer mysteries, the Globe has exhi-
bited a pompous inflation, and a ludicrous air of self-
satisfaction at its sources of secret knowledge. In an
article attributed by some of our Contemporaries to an
official hand, the Exchequer organ thus alludes to Mr.
Smith, as if conciliating a witness to be feared, since there
was no uecessity for referring to him at all :—" The sa-
lary of Mr. Smith was, we believe, 6001. a-year, which
he had anticipated would have been advanced to 7001.;
but his hopes being defeated by the economy that has
been carried of late into all the public offices, he had
recourse to forgery as a temporary expedient ; and
from a sum of 5001., has been led, by those of
whom, it is believed, he has been the dupe, to
the enormous amount of his forgery, which we
have above stated. Surely remuneration should be regu-
lated not simply by the few hours of time required, which
has too frequently been the Treasury standard of value,
but by the amount of trust reposed, and the extent of integrity
required." A more profligately-impudent defence was
never set up. What Mr. Smith might have anticipated,
we do not know. In 1830 his salary was 5201. a year,
since raised to 600/.—a not unhandsome remuneration
for a brief daily attendance at an office where his labours
were not heavy, or his task difficult. As for' the
amount of trust reposed," it was, under the old sys-
tem, simply the custody of certain papers, lA,'
r
number of which was strictly limited,
every one of -which he had to account. But, sup-
posing that as much trust was
