CONSISTORY COURT.

ROSE V. ROSE.
This case, which was fully argued during the
term, was this day called on for sentence.
Sir C. ROBINSON said, that the only question
which arose in this case, was a question arising open
the credibility of the witnesses. The history of the
Case was, that the parties were married in 1811, and
lived together very unhappily, so much so, that in
1821 a separation was talked of, but this idea was
selinquished, seemingly at the suggestion of the hus-
band, who appeared to think that it would be more
respectable for the parties to live together. I. t was
stated that the husband, during the cohabitation
with his wife, had occasionally treated her with
rudeness and violence, but his general conduct
seemed to be that of a kind and affectionate hus-
band. With regard to the bias which was said to
have existed in the minds of some of the witnesses,
the Court certainly saw some evidence of it, and
would not have been disposed to pronounce for the
divorce, if the charge of adultery rested entirely on
the evidence of those witnesses. But as far as those
witnestes spoke of the general habits of Mrs-Rose,
they were supported by the testimony of other wit-
nesses, whose evidence was unimpeached. It ap-
peared from the evidence of all the witnesses, that
from June, 1824, until the final separation of
the parties in 1825, Mrs. Rose was in the con-
stant habit of leaving her husband's house soon
after his departure in the morning, and of remaining
abroad until a late hour in the day, when she re-
turned with her dress in a state that gave every
reason to suppose that she had been walking in the
fields and on the roads. She was also observed to
have been constantly in the company of a Mr. Blake-
more, so that there were strong presumptions in
support of the charge that an act of adultery had
been committed in Hornsev church-yard. That
such an occurrence had taken place was not denied,
and the only question raised on this part of the case
related to the identity of the parties. In proof of
this it was stated by the two witnesses, that they
had listened to a conversation which took place
between Mrs. Rose and Mr. Blakemore, and that
they ascertained during this conversation, that the
lady was .a married woman, and her name Rose;
and that the gentleman was a medical man residing at
Finchley. They also stated that they had followed
Mrs. Rose and Mr. Blakemore to a public-house on
the evening in question, where they had a full op-
portunity of making ththselves acquainted with the
personal identity of the parties. It was also im-
portant for the Court to remember, that there was
no attempt to prove an alibi, which might have
been done; and that the objection to the evidence on
this part of the case rested on mere insinuation.
The Court was therefore bound to conclude that
the act of adultery pleaded to have been committed
in Hornsey Church-yard, was satisfactorily proved.
The imputation sought to be cast upon the husband
of conniving at the intimacy, between his wife and
Mr. Blakemore did not appeat to have the slightest
foundation; for it did not appear that Mr. Blake-
more ever visited Mrs. Rose at her own house, or
that her husband was acquainted with their intimacy,
until a short time before the final separation of the
parties. The Court therefore could not find any
evidence of such misconduct on the part of the
husband as ought to debar him from redress for the
injury he had sustained, and the case being fully
proved, it only remained for the Court to pronounce
for the divorce.
The sentence was then recorded, with the usual
formalities, and the Court adjourned.

TILE LATE ESCAPE FROM NEWGATE.
Notwithstanding the greatest activity has been manifested,
the city officers have not yet been able to discover the re-
treat of the sixth prisoner who escaped from Newgate on
Thursday. The fifth, who was retaken yesterday, did not
use common Prudence in keeping himself secreted, as he
was seen early yesterday walking the streets with two pros-
titutes. His retreat was soon discovered therefore. It
appears after an inspection of the room hi which the pri-
soners were before their escape, that the instrument used
in picking out the brickwork was one of the spikes which
was fixed in the room to hang up mats. The other pri-
soners must have been aware of what was going forward,
as some time was taken up in making a role sufficiently
large to allow a man to pass through. The form which
the prisoners tore up was, after the spike was introduced
into it, to act as a wedge employed in passing from one
window to another. This was a dangerous feat. It is
more than probable that all the prisoners in the room would
have escaped, had those who got out first used more cantio.

We have every reason to believe that the
paragraph in our last, stating that the Duke of Wellington
is expected to visit Grimstou Park, the seat of Lord and
Lady Howden, and will be present at Doncaster races, is
correct, after which his Grace will proceed to 'Vinyard,
the seat of the Marquess of Londonderry.—Doncaster
Gazette.
COACH ACCIDENT.—It is perhaps gene-
rally known that great exertions have latterly been made
by the Western Coach Proprietors to expedite the inter-
course between London and Exeter and Plymouth. Two
coaches have recently been established, the one named the
Celerity, and the other the Defiance, earlt of which profess
to accomplish the journey from London to Exeter, a dis-.
tance of upwards of 170 miles, in the spare of 20 hours;
and from Exeter to Plymouth, a distance of 45 miles in
six hours. On Tuesday morning, about six o'clock, the
Celerity left Plymouth, and proceeded on its journey with
safety to about three miles beyond Amesbury, where it met
the Defiance coming from London, at which time it was
rather foggy, but not so much so as to prevent the driver of
either coach from seeing the other approaching. The road
was of sufficient breadth to allow three coaches easily to
pass, but unfortunately, owing, as it is supposed, to soms
mismanagement on the part of the coachmen, the coaches,
which were going at a great rate, came in contact, and by
the violence of the concussion both were instantly upset.
No sooner was the Celerity on its side, than the horses by a
violent spring, snapped the pole of the carriage short off at
the splinter bar, broke their traces, and dashed off with the
utmost speed towards Andover; one of them, however,
having broken its thigh, soon dropped on die road. On
the outside of the Celerity, in addition to a great quantity
of luggage, there were nine passengers, two of whom were
females. A gentleman who was seated on the box by the
side of the driver, falling under the coach was crushed to
death on the spot. Another gentleman had some of his
ribs broken, and is supposed to have received other very
severe internal injury. Of the two females, one sustained
a violent concussion of the brain, and the other was so se-
verely injured in the small of her back, as entirely to de-
prive her of the use of the lower extremities. There was
scarcely one of the remaining outside passengers who was
not more or less bruised by the upsetting of the coach. The
Inside passengers, consisting of two ladies and two gentle-
men, experienced, comparatively speaking, little or no in-
jury. With respect to the Defiance coach, we have not yet
been able to ascertain any particulars • we conclude, how-
ever, from their being able quickly to leave leave the spot' and
,proceed on their journey, that they could not have sustained
muchinjury. This serious accident h attributed in part
to the quantity of luggage heaped on the roof, and in part
to the unwillingness of the drkkrs to give way to each aims

FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

WINDSOR, JULY 20.—Yesterday, his Royal
Highness Prince LEOPOLD arrived at the Royal Lodge, and
had an audience of his MAJESTY ; after which his Royal
Highness partook of some refreshment, and left the Royal
Lodge for his residence in town.

The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived, yester-
day, at the Royal Lodge, and Ind a long audience of his
MAJESTY; after which his Grace took leave, and left for

tendance, and played during the evening. Had the wea-
ther proved favourable, the KING'S intention was to have
dined at Virginia Water.

His MAJESTY has not, for a length of time
back, enjoyed a better state of health than lie does at pre-
sent. He walks perfectly upright and well ;he rises
early, and breakfasts between nine and ten o'clock ; he is in
general occupied the whole of every forenoon with public
despatches, as messengers continue to arrive and depart al-
most daily to and from the different public Departments.

Prince LEOPOLD, attended by Sir ROBERT
GARDNER, left his residence, Marlborongh-house,
about ten o'clock on Thursday morning, for the
Royal Lodge i❑ Windsor Park, on a visit to the KING.-

AFFAIR IN HIGH LIFE.—A circumstance
has lately occurred in high life that has excited the curiosity
of the fashionable world. The Lady of «a Baronet, well
known in the West Riding of Yorkshire, has lately been
discovered in a situation that bids fair to furnish scope for
the exercise of the ingenuity of the members of the long
robe. It would be premature to enter further into the
liaison alluded to, as future circumstances will more fully
develope its origin and termination. The gay Lothario is
a Captain in the Third Guards.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF MORTON.—We
regret to learn that the Earl of MoaTox died on Tuesday at
Dalmahoy. His Lordship was in the 66th year of his age.
His Lordship having no issue, is succeeded by his cousin,
GEORGE SHOLTO DOUGLAS.— Caledonian Mercury.

DIED.—On the 11 th instant, at St. Mary's
elyst Rectory, Devon, aged 17, WILLIAM Tholttr, third
son of the Rev. THomAs STRONG.

HIS MAJESTY'S PLATE AT CLAREMONT.
—We understand that the Royal Plate was removed from
Claremont, by order of his MAJESTY, a short time before the
return of Prince Lroror,o. A considerable portion of it
which had found its way to Marlborongh House was, on the
receipt of the Royal order, hastily transferred to Claremont,
and the whole, shortly afterwards, conveyed to Town in
Messrs.- RUNDELI, and BRIDGES,' van.

MONUMENT TO KING GEORGE 111.-A
meeting of the subscribers to the fund for erecting a monu-
ment, in memory of his late Majesty King GEORGE the
THIRD, was called by public advertisement, to be held yes-
terday, at the Great Room, of the Piazza Coffee House,
Covent-garden. The hour fixed for taking the chair was
one o'clock; but only one solitary subscriber (Mr. BRIDG-
NORTH, of Wigmore-street) attended. The Committee, we
understood, were in another room, ready to present them-
selves to the subscribers, and two of them did appear, from
one of whom we learned that the object of the proposed
meeting was, that the subscribers should determine upon
the application of the sum now in hand (2,5001.) and so
obtain their sanction, for the payment, by the sub-commit-
tee, of certain debts incidentally incurred. It is almost
needless to say that no proceedings took place.

One evening, at the Literary Fund Club, Mr.
IxeurnoN having sung, with great effect, Mr. T. DIBDIN'C
ballad of " May we ne'er want a friend, or a bottle to give
him," an elderly gentleman whispered in Mr. T. DIBDIN'S
ear, " Ah ! my dear Sir, these are the true things of the
old school ; what a pity it is no one living is found to
write such ditties now !"

An Irish Dignitary of the Church (not re-
markable for veracity) complaining that a tradesman of his
parish .had called him a liar, Maciu,sx asked bins what
reply he made him. "1 told him," says he, " that a lie
was amongst the things I dared not commit."—" And
why, Doctor," replied Mao/ant, " did you give the rascal
so mean an opinion of your courage ?"

One of the band of Covent-garden, who
played the French horn, was telling same anecdote of GAR..
RICK'S generosity. Maclutic, who heard him at the lower
end of the table, and who always fired at the praises of
GARRICK, called out, " Sir, I believe you are a trumpeter."
—" Well, Sir," said the poor man, quite confounded,
" and if I am, what then ?"—" Nothing more, Sir, than
being a trumpeter, you are a dealer in puffs by profession."

According to tradition, we owe the discovery
of Madeira to love. Lionel 'Machin, a young English gen-
tleman in the reign of Edward the Third, of handsome
person and engaging manners, bzcame deeply enamoured
of Arabella D'Arcv, a lady of noble family and incompar-
able beauty. Being rejected by her friends, who betrothed
her to another, he prevailed upon the lady to elope with
him ; and putting her on hoard a small ship at Bristol,
sailed away for the Continent. They bad, however,
scarcely lost sight of land, before a tempest arose, and drove
them far out into the Atlantic. For Litany days they beat
about in the ocean, and felt all the agonies which the pro-
spect of starving at sea could inflict ; but were at length
driven by the winds on an unknown island. This island
was Madeira. They landed, and roamed about delighted
among its wild ravines and sunny slopes ; but the fatigues
and hardships they underwent were too much for Arabella
—she withered away and died in the arms of her lover.
Machin soon followed her. Their remains were interred
on a woody little eminence overlooking the sea ; and to
this day the Portuguese point out the spot where there
ashes repose; and the town Machico traces its name to
that of the unfortuoate lover.,Ed. Land, iv. Rev.
