A variety of evidence wait here Put in to proveane
execution of a deed of nub:aunt for 141,rs.Greiro's main-
tenance; to speak to, the character of. Mr. Walton and
his house; and Mrs. Green's character and demeanoer.
Mr. BROUGIIASt; for • the defendant, addressed the
Conn, and terminated it by reading passages from a
bundle of letters which Mrs. Green had written to her'
husband. The following is a specimen :•••44 Pamned
Demme—Dearest Frederick (this was one of her p ire-
moors), dearest Frederick I adore thee ; by thy beauti-
ful (ice. I adore thee; by thy fine form I adore thee."
"Dining with my fine Frederick ; he promises to de-
grade himself so far if he should ever find you, as to
give you a kick on the vengeance is sweet, ven-
geance shall be mine." " You are a poor Pilgarlick—a
poor devil; lots of time; lots of time to write to old
swine; Fred. finds me paper, Ite. &c." Some Imes she
put a portion of her abuse on the outside of the letter,
thus :—" Attorney Green sleeps every night with his
wife's sister," &c.—she talked of " being d—d Sut what
she'd have her torights"—then of her dearest dear Fre-
derick, with whom she was living—" Cuckoo, cuck r
—And one went on this way :—" The officers are fine
fellows—drive tandem every day—lots of fun—tol de
rol;,heigho, says Rowley!" and a Ita of other stuff
equally ridiculous, occasionally intermixed with a few
'oaths; this the Learned Counsel said was a proof of this
Lady's manners and education. The present action
was an appeal from the !snowing to the ignorant; for
not one witness had been called who actually knew
anything of this woman—she had a father, a mother, a
sister, a brother, but not one of them had stepped for-
ward to give her a good word, notwithstanding it was
represented that she was so inhumanly treated by her
husband. He should put the letter he had alluded to
in evidence, and give proof of the notoriety of this
woman's prostitution, and that would entitle him
to a verdict.

William Archer was clerk to Mr. Green, at the time
hfr. Green resided at Everton, near Liverpool. In the
morning, Mr. Green was in the habit of leaving his
house at Everton, and going to Liverpool, which was
his place of business, and to return home in the evening.
Mrs. Green almost universally dressed herself for
walking immediately her husband left, and went out
towards Liverpool. He has frequently seen her walking
with Gentlemen. On one occasion, a Gentleman ac-
companied her on her return home to within one hun-
dred yards of her husband's house. She then desired
the Gentleman not to go with her any further, for fear
her father should see her. On her return home she
always changed her dress, and put on the dress she was
accustomed to wear in the house. Witness, upon one
occasion, went with her to a military review at Everton ;
when they arrived on the field, she left him, and he had
much difficulty in finding her again. About twelve
mon'hs after the first separation, she came to the de-
fendant's house, she was then very drunk—she corn
menced an attack upon the windows, and broke a great
number of them. Mr. Green was obliged to go away,
but Mrs. Green remained in the house all night—she
had some gin at the office, which she sent the servant
for. Mr. Green did not strike Mrs. Green; there was
some blood upon her face. which was occasioned by her
cutting herself in breaking the windows. On the fol-
lowing day the separation, deed was signed. Mrs.
Green told witness that whilst she was away she had
been with a Gentleman at Manchester, and that she was
going whim again; she said also, that she had been
with other Gentlemen on the Continent. The letters
now produced are Mrs. Green's band-writing.

Ouss-mtamibed.-.4Witness is turned 21; be has been with Mr.
Green since he was 1$ or 15 years of age. Witness recollects
•
seeing Mr. Green's former wife once; be thinks that she died eight
lot nine years before the second marriage; be bad one child by her,
which is dead; at the time witness accompanied Mrs. Green to
Liverpool and the review, witness was 14 or 15 rears of age ; wit.
cress did not communicate what he has now related, to the defendan t
until within there last twelve months.

Before the littera from Mrs. Ones to ber husband were read,
Mr. Seamen submitted to a nonsuit, in order to enable them at a
future time to enter into a full investigation.

Charlotte Shall'', alias Peck, who was convicted of
stealing Rogers's child, of Hunslet, died on Sunday
morning, in York Castle. An Inquest was held on the
body on Monday, and a verdict returned—Died by
the visitation of GOD. It appeared she had bern ill
ever since her trial.
Meetings have been held at Barnstaple and ht Tor-
ringten, to petition against further concessions to the
Roman Csitholies.

The large timber ship now building at Quebec. is to
be launched in May ; her admeasurement is 5000 tons,
or about a third more than the Columbus.

DRZADTEIC Ftez.—Sunday morning, a little afters
two o'clock, the extensive lace manufactory belonginio
to Messrs. Rice and Oram, at Chard; was totally de.
stroyed by tire. The lowest estimate on the loss is
.computed at 70,00C1. The watchman employed by the
Proprietors to walk over the rooms, was discovered fast
asleep, whilst the fire was blazing around him.' The
premises were insured sot 9600 i. but whether any pa: t
of the valuable machinery has been covered by any
insurance we have not yet ascertained. By five o'clock
the whole of the premises were burnt to the giound.
The Hope, Capt. Swat, which arrived yesterday at
Cowes, sailed from Manilla on the 6th of November,
and from Sincapore on the 6th of December. The Sin,
caprecannsick of the 25th of November, contains
Isom particulars, brought by the Hope, of an earth-
quake, which laid it considerable part of the city of
Manilla in ruins. Several slight shocks of the earth-
quake had been felt throughout the island of Lucon'
during the month of October. On the 26th of that
tit
month a most severe shock was experienced in the
town and suburbs of Manila, which dem lished seve-
ral churches, one of the bridges over the river, and'
many of the private housei. About four miles above•
the tor n, and close to the river, the earth opened with
a tremendous explosion, and shortly after shoals of dead
fish were seen fl rating down the river into the sea. All
the respectable inhabitants of Manilla temoied into the
country, and left the town quite deserted. The mil-
wry barracks having been laid level with the ground,,
tents were pitched for the soldiers on a plain at ishort
distance. This encampment was totally destroyed by
the hurricane which clam on on the Ist of November.•
the roofs were blown of many of the remaining hi,takes,
and six of the vessels in the roads weie itrande& • This'
is the most severe earthquake which. has been evpiti-

British *OOI had tdvanied fifteen per ant. lie con-
cluded with the Words of an eminent writer, that the rig-
dons of the world ought not to ihrow the dice itt order
to find out Which of them was to endure famine; the
world -was capable 'of producing abundance of food ;
the kindness of PROVIDE/ICM ought not to be circum-
vented by restrictions and monopolies; He movti the

Mr. Bonne emended it, and it wa* carried:
Mr. C..litaamdav, in moving that these resolutiohs
be embodied in a Petition to the Houses of P.uliament.

and that it do lie rot Signatures till Saturday, observed.
that he was one of those few by whom the Corn lis*s
were strenuously opposed in the House of Commons in
1815. They did, so on those principles of freedom of
trade which he was happy to perceive had of bate been
adopted in and out of the House. The present time he
considered as the most favourable for a revision of the
Corn Laws. Agriculture was now flourishing, in con-
sequence of the flourishing state of our commerce and
manufactures.. He resided in a corn country, and there,
he kn.,w, the corn growers themselves adniided the
evils of the preseist system, and that they would be
benefitted by having; a Axed duty instead of thepresent
variable mode of regulating the import. They were
awareof the manceuvring by which foreign cot s Might
even now be thrown- upon the mark-t; and they also
knew, that (as was the Case in Lincenshire) the impor.
union of foreign corn might be prevented, by particu-
lar manceuvrtag of another kind. They were therefore
anxious that a system exposed to, and tempting such
frauds, should be set aside, which they admitted would
be best effected by the establishment of a fixed duty.
The only question was, what ought to be the amount
of that duty ? And that had been most wisely kft to
the decision of the Legislature. He believed it would
be found necessary to begin with a high duty, which
might be gradually reduced, so that a classes would,
in time, bear equally the burdens of the country.
Mr. R. GRANT, in seconding the resolution, said,
that one advantage the proposed alteration would have,
would be a great reduction of the Poor Reim. The
payers and receivers of that pestilent fund, would
equally bless any change by which its present evils
might be diminished.
After a few weeds from Mr. Houses, the resolotion was put
and ewied.
