SLAVE TRADE.

SAVANNAH, JUNE B.—Captain Jackson, of the
Revenue cutter, Marion, arrived here from Key
West, states, on unquestionable authority, the fact
of a great many vessels sailing from the Havannah
for the coast of Africa, with only two or three weeks'
provisions on board, depending entirely for further
supplies from the different vessels they may fall in
with, and from whom they can rob; the vessels are
generally armed, and engaged in the Slave trade, are
owned and fitted out at the Havannah. An affair
occurred at Key West on the 26th ult. between
William Mqtea, district attorney, and Captain Haw-
kins, who formerly commanded the Mexican brig,
Hermione, in which the former was killed; it ap•
pears chat these gentlemen had long been at variance,
arising from an illicit intercourse between M'Rae
and the wife of Captain Hawkins, who loaded a
double-barrelled gun, and as M‘Rae passed the win-
dow where Hawkins was, he fired both barrels;
M‘Rae fell, and expireda few hours after. Hawkins
surrendered himself up to the civil authorities, and
was sent to Augustine by the Marshal.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

This was an appeal from a decree made by the
late Master of the Rolls, which directed certain ac-
counts to be taken before the Master, in the bank-
ruptcy of Devaynces and Co. Several bills have
been filed, and the matter has been many years in a
course of litigation. Adverting to all the pro-
ceedings that have taken place,
His LORDSHIP stated in judgment this morning,
that it was absolutely essential to have the ac-
counts taken, to enable the Court to form a cor-
rect opinion upon the rights of the parties to the
property in dispute. The decree directing the ac-
counts to be taken was only a continuation of the
principles of the former orders.—Appeal dismissed
with costs.
WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

Mr. Wellesley, in person, stated that he under-
stood a petition respecting his children had been or-
dered to lie in the paper to-day, and that as he did
not intend to appear by Counsel, but by himself, he
was prepared to go on.
The Lor) CHANCELLOR inquired of Mr. Horne
if this was the day appointed for hearing the petition ?
Mr. HORNE had not got a brief, and knew no-
thing of it.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said this was the day,
and that he was ready.
His LORDSIIrP observed that there was a motion
appointed for to-day for a new trial, and in which
common law Counsel were in attendance.

Mr. Wellesley said it was of great importance that
the petition should be heard without delay; and
hoped, if it could not come on now, that it would be
ordered to stand for to•inorrow.
His LORDSHIP directed it to stand for Friday.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
CRIM. CON,--.CHERER V. MARRIOTT.

Mr. GEORGE opened the pleadings.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE on the part of the plaintiff, stated
the case. It was an action brought by Mr. Henry
Joseph Cherer against the defendant, to recover from
him compensation in damages far a criminal conversa-
tion with the plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff was now
thirty years of age, and at the time of the marriage was
little more than twenty-one. The plaintiff was brought
up to the Manchester business, and became acquainted
with the lady who afterwards became his wife at the house
of the lady who brought him up. This lady was
most respectably connected. She was the niece of
the late Mr. Rundell, of Ludgate-hill. After the par-
ties had been some time acquainted, they were married, in
1824, and lived together until 1827. There were two
or three children by the marriage, but they are dead. In
1827 some differences arose, in consequence of the bad
temper of the lady, and these ended in a separation. The
lady's conduct had been perfectly good until she became
acquainted with the defendant. In the latter end of 1827
she was introduced to him. He knew she was a married
woman. This introduction ended in their living together
as man and wife. Some remonstrances were made against
this, and they separated in consequence ; but in a little
time they again lived together, and have continued to do

so until the present. time. . Tha_Learnea Counsel dell.
proceeded to call the evidence.
The marriage was regularly proved.
Mrs. Harker deposed to Mr. and Mrs. Cherer living oe,
affectionate terms up to 1827, when a separation too'
place between them in consequence of the temper of boll'
disagreeing.

also remember their return from .thence in. 1827.,.:) re
member after their return some differences, arising betwee°
them, and their separation. I visited Mrs. Cherer in S
Alban's-place, at the time Mr., ,Cherer 'eft her.:. She of
peared to be living there in a perfect:. decorous mune.
Temper and differences arising from thew were the cause'
of the separation. .
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Lawn—He left be
and not she him. . 1, do not know whether he paid Of
rent when he left her. He provided no means for-herf
for she had a private income of herown, left her by hg(
uncle. , •• •

me to request him to come; Mrs. Cherer asked me to

thing to reader his home comfortable; he said that Jo
should do so by no means, and be hoped she would 1301
irritate him, for he was very ill ; she said she was'sorry
hear it, and would send him a dozen of wine on the met'
row, and such articles as would make him comfortable.
Miss Christian Shepherd—l live at Temple-plarie,,Bllo
friar's-road. I did live in St. Andrew's-place. - Mt'
Cherer lodged in my house. I remember Mr& Cheret
coming to my house on the 14th of September. MP
Cherer was out. She remained until he came home ot
my request. I conversed with both. She remained the
all night, and stopped for three days. They lived verf,
kindly during that time. Just before the expiration °'
that time, another difference arose, which led to anotbe
separation. I , was not: present at that difference; .
letter produced was sent after -Mrs. Cherer left.
The letter from Mrs. Cherer was then put in, Which
was a very affectionate one : and in it she professed to give
up every thing in order to make him ,comfortahle, she,
feared the irritability of his temper was the result .0

him into a consumption.

something to eat, when the Captain gave him a piece 0'
chalk, and made him eat it ; it was about the size of 50
