Officers are not aware that on the reduction of their allowances,
which commenced last year, for the purpose of increasing the
half-pay, a much longer period will elapse ere this most de-
,irable event will take place, it might be right to state that by
a recent communication received from the first authority we
learn that it will be probably four years before the funds formed
are sufficient to enable the Government to place the half-pay
of the Pursers on the scale recommended by the Board of Ad-
miralty, and ordered by his Majesty in Council.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

MALPAS'S DIVORCE.

Shortly before five the Counsel in this case were ad-
mitted, and Mr. Wigram addressed their Lordships on the
part of the petitioner, Charles Malpas, of Leamington
Priors, who prayed for an Act of Divorce to dissolve his
marriage with Isabella Bowness, formerly Smith, who had
been proved to have committed adultery with John Camp-
den Cawley, of Keppell-street, Russell-square, in a trial
which took place in the Court of King's Bench on the Bth
of May last.
Lord BROUGHAM-4 read the evidence given before the
Ecclesiastical Court. lam perfectly acquainted with it.
You got 40s. damages ?
Mr. WIGRAM—Yes, my Lord. The adultery was
clearly proved with Mr. Cawley.. _ _ _

Mr. WIGRAM then proceeded to state the facts of the
case, with the following exception, that a separation pre-
vious to the present had taken place between the parties in
October, 1833, which arose out of a strong suspicion in the
mind of Mr. Malpas that his wife had been guilty of adul-
tery, and which he communicated both to his wife and to
Mr. Parkes, his solicitor. He had no direct evidence to
adduce on this head to prove the fact against her, though
Mr. Malpas was in attendance to depose to all the circum-
stances that he knew of, but he could produce a letter in
which Mrs. Malpas refers to her former fault for which she
was now so severely suffering, and declaring that, " if her
husband knew all the facts, he would not think SQ badly
of her."

Lord BROUGHAM—It appears that she was taken back
in October, 1832. This is, therefore, a case of condonation.
Mr. WIGRAM stated that the second separation took
place in August, 1834, and this was followed by the acts
of adultery proved in the King's Bench.
Lord BROUGHAM—And now the husband wants a
divorce ? If a man turns his wife away, and thereby places
her within the reach of temptation, is he, therefore, to get
a divorce ? I don't see that he is so clearly entitled to it.
Mr. WIGRAM stated that the second separation arose out
of the incompatibility of their tempers, which, joined to the
remembrance of her former error, rendered it absolutely
impossible they could live together.
Lord BROUGHAM—That is no reason he should send
her away, to commit adultery ; for that is the natural con-
sequence.—(A. laugh.) As to her temper, he should have
thought bf that at first. That was his affair. But a
wife's bad temper had nothing to do with the grounds of
divorce.

Lord LYNDHURST—You need not say all this so loud.—
(A laugh.) It is your private opinion. Then the condo-
nation interferes to bar the previous lapse being taken into

Mr. WIGRAM submitted that no part of his client's con-
duct had disentitled him to relief.
Lord BROUGHAM—Your case is a verdict of 40s. It is
not a case of argument ; it must be proved by evidence.
Mr. WIGRAM must be allowed to explain to their Lord-
ships his view of what the probable motives of the Jury
were for giving so small an amount of damages (which were
merely nominal), and was proceeding to quote parallel cases
when a Noble Lord suggested that it would be proper to
hear the evidence.

Mr. WIGRAM then called his witnesses, and proceeded,
with his Lordship's occasional assistance, to examine.
Mr. W. Parkes, of Gray's Inn, solicitor for Mr. Malpas.
He produced the marriage certificate, but was not present
at the marriage in St. George's, Hanover-square, in 1827,
but had seen them frequently in their own house, living to-
gether as man and wife. He dined with them and they
with him often alone and with others. Mr. Malpas was
perfectly good tempered, and treated his wife on those oc-
casions with affection and kindness.

Lord Baounnam—Was he remarkably good tempered?
(His Lordship spoke particularly loud and emphatic, as
Mr. WIGRAM had announced that Mr. Parkes was rather
deaf.) Witness—l should say, yes.
Lord BROUGHAM—I am speaking of his temper.
Witness—So am I. I have known him for ten years,
and never saw him-out of temper.
Lord BROUGHAM—Did you ever call upon him to pay
your own bill of costs ? Witness—l did.
Lord BROUGHAM—Did that ever put him out of tern •
per ? Witness-,--Never during the ten years I knew him.
Lord BROUGHAM—That was a trial of temper. That
will do, Sir.—(A laugh.)
Amelia Malpas (sister of the petitioner) was next 'ex-
amined. She was present at the marriage in 1827. Lived
with them for a few days. Saw them living together very
amicably in her father's house. Never saw instances of
bad temper between them. Mr. Malpas's temper was good.
He was irritable occasionally. I heard of the fact of Mr.
and Mrs. Malpas living together after the first separation,
but I did not see her then.
Mr. KNIGHT—I shall now prove the fact of the adultery.
Mary Ann Scott was next examined—l live in Keppel-
street, and let lodgings. A gentleman and lady applied to
me for lodgings in March last. I let them a parlour,
dressing room, and bedroom. They slept together from
the 16th of March to the 3d of April last. They lived to-
gether as Mr. and Mrs. Cawley.
Mr. Parkes was recalled and re-examined. He stated,
I remember going on 31st of March last to Mrs. Scott's
in Keppel-street, where I saw Mr. Cawley, and the lady
called Mrs. Cawley. At first he refused to let me see her,
and stated that the lady was under his protection, but I re-
fused to leave the house until I saw her. He then led me
into her bedroom, and there I saw Mrs. Cawley, who was
in fact Mrs. Malpas.
Lord BROUGHAM said that his mind was by no means
made up to grant the divorce. A .man was bound to put
up with his wife's bad temper. It would be too bad to
grant a divorce for bad temper.
The evidence was then ordered to be printed, and the
further consideration adjourned sine die.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

TANNER V. RADFORD.

Mr. KNIGHT ip this matter moved to set aside an order
of the master of 'the Rolls, which superseded an order of
the Vice-Chancellor, permitting the plaintiff, Tanner, to
become a bidder at the sale of property of the defendant.
The suit was originally instituted by the creditors of the
Rev. Mr. Radford, to enforce the sale of certain family ad-
vowsons, which he possessed in Devonshire.
Sir W. HORNE, in support of the order made by the
Master of the Rolls, argued that the Vice-Chancellor had
been imposed on when he gave the plaintiff, the solicitor to
the creditors, any permission to go in as a bidder.
Their Lordships took time to consider their judgment.
Sir W. HORNE hoped that no proceedings would be
taken in the mean time.
Sir L. SHADWELL said that judgment would be given in
a day or two. No injunction on that point was therefore
necessary.

„.. Bancal ti,t the time appointed. It was
; if the prisoner's statement is to be
believed, that any criminal intercourse took place between
the parties. On the 17th of March they arrived at Paris,
when letters were written by both, vaguely announcing their
end. Bancal, in a letter to his mother, talked of a duel,
from the effects of which he was not likely to recover„and
Mad. Priolland represented herself as dangerously ill. The
23d of March being the time fixed on for the accomplish=
ment of their horrid intent, they paid their bill at the hotel,
and ordered a dinner for themselves and a friend at half-
um.
past six o'clock. This friend, named Casemecasse, to whom
they intended to bequeath the trust of seeing them buried
in one coffin (they have written a letter to that effect, which
he was not to receive until next morning), came at the ap-
pointed hour, and remained with them until ten at.night,
without remarking anything in their manner that could
awaken suspicion of what was to happen. Bancal accom-
panied him down stairs, and embraced him affectionately ;
and Madame, during his absence, ordered a footbath to be
brought into her chamber, so that on his return every thing
was in readiness for the dire tragedy, which began about 11
o'clock at night. The following are the details, as given by
Bancal himself, in his first examination before the 'Magis-
trate :
” On the night of the 23d of March, at eleven o'clock,
Zelia asked me to put an end to her life. I bled her twice
in the legs, and she lost a great deal of blood, and would
have fallen from the chair on which she was sitting, had I
not with great difficulty supported her. However, after
some time, my strength failed me, and she slipped down on
the floor. My first efforts to lift her up and place her on
the bed were ineffectual, but at length I succeeded, and
we lay side by side. The hours wore away, and she still
lived. I asked her if she desired to live? She answered,
No.' I then spoke of making use of the bistouri which I
had, but she objected, saying she could not support the
idea of the iron entering her heart. I then asked her if
she would take some of the acetate of morphine which 1
had provided ? She said Yes,' and I immediately gave
her a dose, having first tasted it myself, and added some
sugar to destroy the disagreeable taste. I then took a
dose myself. We remained for a long time in that state.
I then took a dose myself. We remained for a long time
in that state. We felt both of us vertigo, and at length
vomiting came on. 1 then divided the artery of her left
arm, from which the blood sprung forth. At that instant
she saw daylight appear. I had made her suffer very much,
but I bad no idea that it was so difficult to cause death.
I asked her again .if she wished to live ? She replied,
No,' and begged me to put an end to her, Ido not
wish that they should see me (said she).; they will soon be
here, I do not wish to see them. You spoke to me 'of
means—employ them.' I then stabbed her with a bistouri,
but no blood followed—the blow was too feeble. I stabbed
her a second time—that was a good one (celiti-lei fat bon).
She pressed my hand, and never after made the least
movement. I then stabbed myself thrice with the bis-
touri. I lost a great deal of blood, but I did not kill
myself. I plunged again three times the instrument into
my wounds, and turned it in them, but without succeeding.
That is all."
On the 24th 07 March Casemecasse received the letter
written to him the night before, and hastened to the hotel,
where, after causing the door of Bancal's chamber to be
opened by a locksmith, Bancal and his ill fated victim (she
quite dead) were found stretched upon the same bed. A
stream of blood was flowing abundantly from a wound in
the left breast of Bancal, and who, until the bi_touri was
wrested from his hand, was still endeavouring to stab him-
self with it. On a table lay a letter from Bancal to Casse-
masse, in which were retraced, hour by hour, all the agoni-
zing details and harrowing incidents of the dreadful sacri-
fice. On the same table was another paper, signed by
both, ceclaring that it was their own free will, and by their
own hands, that they had destroyed themselves.
For some days it was supposed that Bancal could not
survive. He, however, recovered, but again attempted his
own life on the 3d of April, with a knife, which he had con-
trived to get possession of. In a letter to the Magistrate,
he says—" I shall resign myself to live, since I am con-
demned to do so." He will shortly be tried.

Mr. Quin's " Narrative of a Steam Voyage dawn
the Danube" will be published in a few days. No European
tour furnishes so many novel and romantic objects for the con-
templation of Englishmen, as a voyage along the shores of
this vast river. A perusal of the present animated work will
induce numbers of our countrymen to follow the route of the
author, and to participate in the rapture he experienced in
witnessing so many interesting parts of Hungary, Servia,
Wallachia, Turkey, &c. A very short space of time will suf-
fice for the journey. The volumes will be illustrated by gra-
phic views of Pest, Belgrade, Neusatz, Peterwardien, and
other famous places on the banks of the mighty Danube.
UNFORTUNATE FEMALES.—It has often given
us great pain to see these poor Magdalens kicked about by the
police from one corner to another, with their eggs or fish,
their tapes and thread. The police do not hesitate to beat
them with their sticks, which is in itself disgraceful to huma-
nity. A number of the shopkeepers in High-street have seen
fit to presont a policeman with a silver snuff-box, for his
vigilance and activity in keeping their doors clear of these
poor girls. Nay, as if this mark of their approbation of
" Jeddart justice" were not sufficiently disgusting in itself, its
odious hatefulness must be added to by the Lord Provost of
the City. That dignitary is called in, to present the box,
bofore all the officers of the police establishment, and a
crowded court ; this very vigilant policeman is applauded to
the very echo, and others are advised to follow his example.
We have begun to present silver snuff-boxes to police offi-
cers, and the farce of such presentations is at an end.—

STEAM-BOATS IN FRANCE.—On the Ist of
January, 1834, the number of steam-boats in France, exclu-
sive of those of Government, amounted to 95. The number
of machines to set them in motion were 118 ; viz., 82 low
pressure, and 36 high pressure. It must be observed that
these boats having been built some time, were principally
constructed on the principle of low pressure, which was then
chiefly employed. Of these 118 machines, equal to the
power of 3,480 horses, the origin is thus detailed :-34 were
of French construction, 59 foreign, and 25 not stated. At
the present moment the proportion of French-built machines
is not as 34 to 50, but as 125 to 5. The machines, therefore,
adapted to steam-engines, which for the most part are of
foreign make, indicate by their construction that they belong
to an early period when the use of high-pressure engines was
little used.—Journal du Commerce.

A young officer of the French navy, who was a long
time stationed at Senegal, tamed a young hyena, which became
attached to him in a degree very unusual for this ferocious
animal. On his return to Brest, the Maritime Prefect induced
him to send his favourite as a present to the Garden of Plants.
After a lapse of time the officer came to Paris, and naturally
went to visit the menagerie. In the mean time the animal had
resumed all its native ferocity, and became violent the moment
any of the spectators even looked steadfastly at it. At the
first sight, however, of his former master, the hyena recognised
him, showed the utmost satisfaction, mildly moving his head
and wagging his tail, as if inviting the officer to caress him.
The officer, to the terror of the spectators, .approached the
animal, stroked his back, and even put his hand into the crea-
ture's mouth, but still greater was their astonishment when
they saw the beast return his caresses by gently licking his
hands.

ATROCIOUS MURDER.—Last night a man named
John Sheehy, aged about 70, was shot by some fellows in the
neighbourhood of Bailinlenders. He was, we understand, the
last life in an existing lease, and to terminate the tenure of the
existing interest, he was thus summarily disposed of. They
first made the unfortunate man drunk, and then shot him.—

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.—BLOWING. UP OF
THE EARL GREY STEAMER.—Yesterday evening, between six
and seven o'clock, at Greenock Quay, the Earl Grey, having
arrived from Dunoon and just preparing to start for Glasgow,
was arrested in her progress by the bursting of her boiler.
She was full of passengers—the decks were torn away—the
direction of the force was towards the stern—the cabin win-
dows were all blown out,—and the only part saved was the
bow of the vessel, and the passengers in that quarter. A
great many of the passengers were forced into the water, many
leaped in, and a number were dreadfully scorched, scalded,
and lacerated by steam, red-hot coals, and splinters. The
amount of passengers who have suffered or died cannot be
properly ascertained for a day or two. This accident, it is
needless to add, has created the greatest consternation. Great
praise is due to the watermen of Greenock for their prompt
exertions on this melancholy occasion. Many have been saved
in consequence of their humane activity.—Glasgow Liberator
of Saturday.
SEA SERPENT IN LAKE ONTARIO.—OUr office
has been favored with a visit from Captain A. Kellogg, of the
schooner Polyphemus, of Sackett's, arrived this morning from
Rochester. This gentleman has related to us a tale of wonder
—a tale so incredible, that we scruple some, as the Yankees
;n laying his narration before our readers, lest they might

see it in motion, and steering towards the schooner. Singing
out to his hands to take care of themselves, he put the schooner
up to the wind, lashed the helm a-lee, and ran up the main
rigging, waiting for the • monster to approach. The serpent,
for it was no other than an immense snake, neared the vessel
fast, and pasted immediately under the stern, taking no notice
whatever of the aehooner or those on board, but affording to
everybody an ample opportunity to observe and note his mon-
stfons dimensions. In length he was about 78 feet, of a dark
blue color, spotted with brown ; towards either end he tapered
off, but about the middle his body was of the circumference of
