This was anis instituted In the year Ile fry a divorce, by rea-
son of cruelty and adultery-, •
It must be in the recce of wor a recent deci-
sion in Nyland has Impugned the taithiimY of several of the
Marchioness's witnesses.
This dry an exceptive allegation to the evidence of
another of her witnesses, Miss Frances Elizabeth Wood,
was tendered in behalf of the Marquis. The ground of
exception was, that this young Lady had, in her answer
to interrogatories, ,stated, that she did not recollect he.,
ing, in the year 1818, at a ball given by Lady Robinson;
at her mansion in Albemarle-street ; nor did she recol•
lect having ever said " that the Marchioness was endea-
vouring to get all she could from her husband by bul-
lying him.' In contradiction to this part of her testi-
mony. it was prayed that the Court would permit
Daniel Giles, Esq. to be examined.
Dr. Lusurrwrox, in reply. argued that, admitting
this young Lady to be in error as respected these
points, still it was more probable that it arose from a
lapse of memory than from any intention to commit
the serious offence of deliberate perjury. He did not
perceive that there was anything so very peculiar in a.
young Lady's going to a ball, as to cause.her to re-
tain a rec )11ection of the circumstance three years af-
terwards ; and it was still more improbable that a con-
volution taking place there should be impressed on
the mind. He had not been at a ball for twen,y years
past, hut from what he could recollect it was a scene
of gaie:y and confusion, in.which the whirl of the dance,
the play o: the music, the glitter and glare on all sides,
and the multiplicity of remirks and compliments, were
well calculated to prevent any mere cursory observa-
tion from making a deep impression on a young La.iy's
memory ; the more especially when, as in the present
case, it occurred in a conversation with an elderly
Gentleman.

Sir C. Ilosnosoat thought himself bound to admit the exceptive
allegation, and permit evidence to be taken in support thereof. The
question of its importance; as weighing against this young Lady's
testimony, be should leave to be discussed at a more mature stage
of the proceedings.
SLANDZR.....RICHARDS V. CLARKS.

The parties are sisters-in-law, resident at Padding-
ton, and it appears, the defendant having a suspicion
vtlrat her husband maintained an improper intimacy
with the plaintiff, applied to her a variety of coarse
expressions, imputing to her the offence in questi,,n.
For these words the present suit was instituted.—No
defence was attempted.
The Court sentenced the defendant to perform
penance in Paddington Church, on the 12th inst. and
to pay the costs of this snit. -
DAVIS V. DAVIS.

Ibis was °righter,/ a suit for restitution of conjugal rights,
brought by Mrs. Davis against her husband, a tavern keeper. He
subsequently gave is an allegation, charging her with the cummlasioa
of adultery with a man of the name of Rae; and to this she re-
plied, by now bringing in a responsive plea, alleging, as spina Mr.
Davis, various acts of cruelty, in bar of the remedy of separation
prayed for by him. After hearing the arguments of Counsel on
either side,

The Coin:, upon the principle that cruelty is no bar to a suit by
reason of adultery, unlrs, perhaps, on a case extremely special in
aU iu circumstances, rejected the allegation now offered on the part
of the wife. The principal cause stands over.

South American commerce has gone on progressing
during the three years that it has freely existed, in the
proportion of 92, 43, 58. What a demonstration of the
advantages of freedom, and free trade !
The Gazette of Darmstadt contains a Decree, pro-
hibiting the Clergy from interfering with the agree-
! menus made between parents of adverse creeds, respect-
tog the religious education to be given to their children,
and from endeavouring to convert them to a dif-
ferent faith.
Mr. O'CoNam.r. has been honoured with what, no
doubt, he at least considers as a triumphal entry into
Dublin. He was in an open carriage, with Mrs. and
the Misses O'Coristscc, and Master O'Clmstatc, about
eight or nine years old,, on a pony, with a servant in
livery behind him. Mr. FIT;10110/1 was mounted on
the dicky of Mr. O'Coutizsz's carriage, which was
preceded by h cavalcade, and followed by coaches aid
jaunting-cars. When Mr. O'Comsat.c arrived at hie
house in Merrion-square, headdressed the crowd from
the balcony, telling them he bad carried their griev-
ances to the British Parliament, and they bad not been
redressed. He talked of pitying the man who could
trot love such a people and such a country, and of
despising the man who would not die for her. Having
got diem to give huzzas for the " King," and " Old
Ireland," he counselled them to retire in good humour,
and the multitude quietly dispersed.
SAGS TLl.—The Dutch collect vast quantities of'
sage, both in Holland and in the South of France,
which they dry and curl so as to resemble tea, and ex-
port it to China, where they receive four pounds of tea
for one pound of sage. If a similar trade could be
instituted in Great Britain, the employment given to
the poor would be very considerable.
Among the Constitutional Spaniards who bave taken
refuge at Brussels, a distinguished tragic author is
mentioned, who is said to be commissioned to orga•
size a National Theatre in the capital of Mexico.
Paw/ THAT A MAN CAN IC MIS OWN,GRANDIATHRft.
—There was a widow and her daughter-in-law -and a
man and his son. The widow married the son, and the
daughter the old man. The widow was, there:ore, Mo-
ther to her husband's father; and consequently, grand-
mother to her own husband. They had a son to whom
she was great grandmother. Now as theiOn of a great
grandmother must be either a gran Mather pr great uncle.
this boy was one or.the other—be was his own grand-
father.—N. B. This was the case with a boy at school
at Norwich.
