THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNiNG, MAifell 25, 1842.

Jury that whether these two witnesses were to be believed or
disbelieved, their testimony was equally shocking.
The Jury found immediately for the plaintiff—damages, ICd/.

TUESDAY.
MACKENZIE V. OUSELET.

This was an action by Dr. Mackenzie, Editor of The Salopian
Journal, the old established Shropshire Tory paper, against Air.
Ouseley, editor and proprietor of the Shropshire Conservative
for two articles in the latter paper, alleged to be gross persona,
libels against Dr. Mackenzie.
Sergeant Taltourd led for the plaintiff. Sergeant Ludlow,
who called no witnesses, was for the defendant.

Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, charged the Jury to the effeet
that the articles were gross, iuexcusable libels.
Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 51.
GARRETT V. OUSELEY.

In this ease a Special Jury were called. This was an action
by Mr. Edward Garbett, a solicitor at Wellington, in Shrop-
shire, for a succession of libellous articles published by the de-
fendant in the former case in the same paper during the last
year. Sergeant Talfourd, with Mr. Phillips and Mr. Whateley,
were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Ludlow and Air. Busby fur
the defence.

The reading of the libels, which were filled with opprobrious
epithets, such as " Bullying Radical Attorney," " Scoundrel
Attorney," and " Pettifogger," occupied much time. No
witnesses were called by the deendant ; and after an ingenious
speech by Sergeant Ludlow, and a luminous summing up by
Mr. Justice Cresswell, the Jury found for the plaintiff—
Damages, 1001.

MEMORIAL TO E. T. BAIN-
BRIDGE, ESQ.

A numerous meeting of of the electors and other inhabitants
of Taunton was held on Monday, for the purpose of raising a
fund for presenting to their late representative a memorial of
their respect and gratitude for his long services, and " faithful
and independent discharge of his duties in the House of Com-
mons, his uniform and attentive kindness to the inhabitants,
and his thoroughly honourable conduct throughout his long
connexion with the borough."
Not the least gratifying feature of this demonstration, is the
fact that it was begun by the poorer classes. It will, of course,
be gladly adopted by all who value -independence and
uprightness in public men. The resolutions go to limit
she subscription of each individual to five shillings as
the highest sum ; but the wealthier classes may show
their liberality by enabling the very children of the
poor to place their names upon the list of subscribers which
will accompany the gift, and which will be accounted by Mr.
Bainbridge, the most valued and treasured portion of it.
Mr. Bainbridge does, indeed, deserve the warmest tribute
of gratitude which constituents can offer. On no single
,occasion during so many years of hard service, did
he fail faithfully to discharge his duty. Scarcely
has he recorded one vote which did not meet the
approval of those he represented. He never sacrificed prin-
ciple to party. He never cones ded a conscientious opinion to
a short-sighted expediency. And in his private relations with
the town, he was distinguished for a kindness, charity, and
courtesy, as rare as they are delightful.
The circumstances attending his retirement were of a piece
with his previous career. Seldom has a more generous sacrifice
been made by an individual for the welfare of his principles.
Previously to the general election it had been Mr. Bain-
bridge's intention to retire into private life. He sent his
resignation to his friends, but there was not time before the
dissolution to make the necessary arrangements for procuring
another candidate. It was represented to him that the con-
sequence would be the triumph of Toryism in the Borough,
which had been so long the champion of the cause of the
many against the oppression of the few and he consented,
rather than the cause should suffer, to fight the battle, at the
same time declaring, that as soots as he had seen that cause safe,
he should resign. He led the glorious cause of the country
against the forces of Oligarchy and Monopoly, and triumphed,
and then, with almost Roman heroism, he put his resigna-
tion in the-hands of his friends, requesting them to use it when
they could do so with great advantage to the cause for which he
had fought so manfully. The result is known to the world.--
Somerset Gazette.

POLICE IN ThLiSiiENCE.
MANSION lIOUSE.

Two wretched women were brought before Sir Peter Laurie,
charged with having threatened to break windowsin order to obtain
a resting place and food for the night.
One of the women had been, she said, at the Peckham work-
house, for relief in her extreme want, but she was turned out next
morning, and she met the others, who were in as bad a condition.
They both declared that they must have perished in the streets if
they had had not at last succeeded, by threatening to do mischief,
in getting an asylum in the station.house, to which they were con-
veyed by the policeman, who very properly did not delay till
damage was done.
Sir P. LAURIE said he slid not know what to do with the mise-
rable creatures who made appeals of the kind, proceeding, it was
quite evident, from total destitution. He then desired Gooch, the
turnkey,of the Giltspur.street tompter, to let him know in what
condition that prison was as to the accommodation of the inmates.
Gooch said that he had been a servant in the prison twenty-two
years, and he had never seen it in so crowded a state. There were
three and four in a bed, in which no more than one man ought to
be, and fires were kept up all night for those who could not be ac-
commodated with a bed in a cell to warm themselves by. The in-
convenience was very great indeed.
Sir P. LAURIE said he had received intelligence from Captain
Kingcude, the Governer of Bridewell, that in that prison from 40
to 50 persons were obliged to lie on the floor. From such crowded
prisons infectious diseases must be apprehended, and he was most
decidedly of opinion that the Government ought to interfere to pre-
vent the fearful consequences of the breaking out of gaol distempers,
After some conversation between Sir P. Laurie and Mr Hobler,
the women were discharged, with the advice to apply to the union
of the district in which they were found in a state of destitution.
MAR LB BO L.' GH- S T.RE.E T.
Edward Richetth a young man of respectable appearance,
was charged with committing a violent and aggravated assault
upon Eliza, his wife.
The complainant stated that her husband had deserted her
about a week ago, leaving her without any means of support,
and was cohabiting with a young woman who was servant at
the house of a tradesman he was employed by, and whom he had
seduad, and was now pregnant by him. His master had in
consequence dismissed him from his employment. Between
eight and nine o'clock last' night she accidentally met him in
Ilolborn, walking with the female in question, and on her
meekly asking him if he did not intend to return to his home,
he seized her in his arms, shook her violently, until she was
nearly breathless, and then struck her, with his clenched fist,
with all his might, a blow on the mouth, which cut her lips add
tongue severely, and loosened several of her teeth. On a police
constable coming to the spot, he was given into custody.
The defendant, in a very haughty tone, said that he was de-
terrr.ined not to live with his wife, as she had twice attempted
to stab him. _

The wife emphatically declared that there was not the
slightest truth in the assertion. . _ _

Mr. Matror said that he must abate a little of the imperi•
ous feeling he was displaying, or he would find himself severely
dealt with. Why did he not go home and live with his wife?—
Defendant—l never will ; I'll go to prison first.
Mr. MALTBY—Then that you shall do.—The defendant
was accordingly committed.
CLERKENWELL.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A very pensive and rather pretty
looking young girl, named Mary Berwick, was brought before '
the magistrates charged
.with attempting to destroy herself on
Alondsy last.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who was a
servant, in Peter-steet, Gray's-inn-lane,:went out on pretence
of visiting her mother on Sunday evening last; she returned
a few hours after very much 'intoxicated, in company with a
cab man, who lived in the same house. She immediately
went to bed. The next morning her mistress observed upon
the impropriety of her conduct and told her she would inform
her mother of it. 'l his seemed to prey very much upon the
poor girl's spirits, and she fell into a state of the most gloomy
melancholy, and from ssliich her mistress made several in-
effectual attempts to arouse her. Late on Monday evening she
threw herself into a cistern of water, six feet deep. The
screams of a female who saw her brought a man from a neigh-
bouring house to her assistance, who, after some difficulty,
succeeded in rescuing her.
Her mistress gave her an excellent character, and the Ma-
gistrate having recommended har to return to her service, and
her mistress to treat her with care and kindness, the parties
left the office.

The Journal des Pyrenees of the 12th inst. has the
following ;.-7." The Barcelona Journals, on the faith of some
French -Papers. which consider it exceedingly patriotic to ac-
cuse their own Government and undertake the defence of a
foreign Power, declare that bands- are being organised on our
frontiers, in order to pass into the Peninsula, and renew the
events of September. We declare that our frontier is per-
fectly quiet, and that all the assertions of those Papers, whe-
ther French or Spani,h, are totally unfoutvled. It is true
that some reftt;evs arrive here, but they are for the most part
furnished with passports en regle. After appearing peyote their
Consul to take the prescribed oath, they enter peaceably into
their country. The French authorities exercise the strictest
surveillance, and all persons who are found without papers
are sent back to the depols vihiCh they had clandestipely
pitted."

THE POPULATION OF SMYRNA..
For variety of costume, and diversity of - people
of different nations, Smyrna beats everything I ever
beheld. I had previously looked on Gibraltar as the
Babel of many languages; next, in this opinion,
Constantinople usurped its place ; but they were both
thrown far into the shade by the varied assemblage I
witnessed here, in a morning's stroll through the
market places and bazaars.
Your way in the narrow thoroughfares is often
completely stopped by long strings of camels, groan-
ing nder uimmense loads of figs, and preceded by
their uncouth and Tartar-like looking drivers, gen-
erally mounted on a small ass. These wild-looking
and bronzed figures from the interior, generally
rejoice in enormous turbans, and huge jack,
or rather fisherman's boots, which must add greatly,
to the burden of the already over-weighted little ani-
mals which they bestride. You are jostled by busy
and noisy Greeks, ever in motion, and resplendent in
all the glories of the magnificent Palicar costume,
offering, by their noisy vociferations and vehement
gestures, a marked contrast to the grave Turk or
stately Persian merchant, who, with his amber-
mouthed chibouk in hand, is patiently awaiting the
arrival of a customer for some of his rich silks or
handsome carpets, which are displayed before him in
the greatest profusion. The next stall is, may be,
occupied by some cunning Israelite, or plodding son
of Armenia, who, with pen in hand, and an enormous
tea-kettle of a calpac stuck on his shaven crown, is
carefully noting down, in cramped and mystical cha-
racters, the gains of the day, and scarcely raises his
eyes as he casts a glance of surprise at the rolling and
careless gait of some of our jolly tars, who, with
Dido ' written on their glazed tiles, are now laying
a spree on shore. Unless to this list be added French-
men and Austrians, friars and Catholic priests, wan-
dering Turcomans, and 13-2gging dervishes, Syrian
Jews and Maltese sailors, the picture would be in-
complete, as far as regards the rougher sex. And
now we take a peep at the ladies.
" Remoter from its focus, innovation has, at Smyrna,
made less rapid progreSs than' in the capital ; and, as
the insignia of the faith, the turban,' is here much
more prevalent than the fez,' so, in the gentler sex,
a greater adhesion to Oriental customs and costume
is observed in the closer folds of the feridj'ee, and
more careful adjustment of the yashmac. Their
charms are further protected from any obtrusive
glance by the addition of a piece of black crape, which
completely shrouds the countenance, and -leaves no-
thing for the most lively imagination to seize on.
" Towards evening, the portly beaUties of Armenia
may be seen at the windows, and are easily discerni-
ble by their Dudtt' forms, sleepy dark eyes, and
fine complexions ; the voluptuous langour .of their
general appearance offering a marked' contrast to the
lively glances and sparkling black eyes of the Greek
damsels, who display their charms amidst the gaudy
and often ill-assorted collection of brilliant colours,
of which their dress is always composed, and which
gives them a much less modest appearance than
their veiled and nunlike Osmanli sisters. Their.
hair, increased by the addition of false locks or co-
loured silk, is plaited, and either twisted round the red
and gold-studded fez, else intermingled with the folds
of the turban. A kind of loose jelic, or spencer, with
open sleeves, and generally of rich embroidered velvet,
and a common petticoat, complete the costume 'of the
fair Smyrniote. The Jewesses were seldom seen in
public : however, more of their tribe annn. Mingled
with all these Oriental costumes, bonnets and shawls
are now' nearly as common as in London or Paris ;
and I even had one or two passing' glanees at the
mysterious and fluttering faldette' of Calypso's isle.
To this list must be added the swarthy and thick-
lipped beauties of Ethiopia; and a more varied col-
lection of these Ilouris could nowhere be found, or
be deemed more worthy of the zenana of the blessed
Prophet in his seventh and highest heaven,"
