wealthy by her wealth, and wealthy by his own do-
mains, left her Rs- eight long years lingering, with.

medy which her medical advisers had prescribed.—
In 18.14 the war was put an end to, and then three
hours. would convey her Ladyship born Dover to a
warmer climate, but no.step was taken by him for that
purpose. On the contrary, he opposed every measure
recommended to restore her health. This wealthy
Lord could not say that the war prevented him from
sending his Lady to a warm climate. In 1811, 181'2,
and 1813, Milan, Sicily, Naples, and the greater part
of Portugal, were open to him, but he never went,
although she vas desirous to go. The only obstacle to
this act of humanity was Lord Lismore; and not until
after the separation, which took place in 1819, was one
step taken towards the restoration of ht.l. health. Bat
it was said, that notwithstanding his large income,
Lord Lismore could not pay 9,5001. Admitting that
to be true, was it right that he should have left her
without any support, that he should have driven her, in
a foreign land, to the necessity of Owning her jewels to
procure the necessaties of life? He would say, that
Lord Lismore had abandoned his duty if, having a
single guinea, he did not give as much of it to her as
he could spare from himself and his children. The'
Learned Counsel concluded by calling on the Jury not
to stand by a man who had forced, instead of stretching
out a hand to save his wife from misery and guilt.
His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said, the p!aintiff
was certainly entitled to the verdict; but in estimating
the damages, they were to be guided by the conduct
of the plaintiff, the age of Lady Lismore, and the youth
and inexperience of the defendant.
The Jury immedlately_found a verdict for theitiaintiff—Damages,
One Shilling.

The Baltimore Federal Gazette of the 12th of March,
contains the atimirable speech of Mr. Secretary CAN..
NINGj in the House of Commons, on the opening of Par-
liament. Alluding to the policy of the British Govern-
ment, as developed by Mr. CANNING, the Editor of the
Federal Gasette says :
" On the South American question, Mr. Canning touches with
considerable caltion. He says' he has arrived at his object, with-
out stirring the dangers that encompassed him.' True, we believe
be has arrived at his object without' giving to any Power just cause
of war—Als march in this question has doebtleu been one of great
prudence and circumspection, yet notwitkutanditig, we see clearly
by the tone of the French Ministerial preu, that the measure took
the Continental Powers by surprise, and bas occasioned much dis-
content. Still, frustrated as France has been by the recognition, in
her secret views with Spain, the wisest step she can now take is to
follow the example presented to her by the United States and
England."

back, or had left the room for a moment. A fellow
