CONSISTORY COURT, JAN. 27.

WESTMEATH V• WESTMEATH.

The particulars of this suit have been frequently de
tailed at length in the STAR. It is a snit instituted by
ere Marquis of Wes-meath, for re,titution of conjugal
rights, which is resisted by the Marchioness, on the
tround of alleged adultery committed by the Marquis,
with 4 woman named Mary Brennan, and others. In
addition to this, the Marchioness has pleaded repeated
acts of cruelty ankviolence. The case came on this
day to be argued.
Dr. LTISHINGTON arbireesed the Court at considerable
lengilr, in support of the defence of the Marchioness.
acid h :ving detailed the important parts of the evidence,
submit•ed that with respect to the adultery the evidence
was conclusive, and that, the cruelty had been proved
by the admissions of the Marquis himself to Mr. Wood,
and in his letters to the Marchioness, which had been
read in Court. In these letters the Marquis prayed
forgiveness (Or acts he had committed, and, in fact,
admitted the truth of the allegations. It was the duty
of the Court to protect parties against the repetition of
similar cruelties. He did not deny that there had beet:
instances of kind treatment on the part of the Marquis,
bit the general tenour of his conduct rendered it im-
possible fnr the Marchioness to live with him. He
should abstain from any comment on .the conduct of
certain Noble parties who had first supported the Mar-
quis in depriving her Ladyship of the care of her own
chili, and who had taken part in the suhsequent pro-
ciedings, reserving, at the same time, the right to make
such remarks, in case anything should be introduced
on the other site, to render them necess try. Upon the
ssoinle view of the case, he contcn Jed, that her Lady-
ship was Way and justly entitled to the relief she sought,
namely, a divorce from her husband.
Dr. J. Abases followed on. the same side.
. The remainder dike argument was postponed to a future day.

Letters from Caraccas relate the following painful
occurrence, which savours strongly of old Spanish

bigotry : gi Caraces., November 22
" A young Englishman, who died here last month,
was, by his friends, for the- sake of procuring him
Christian burial, represented to have been a Catholic,
and his funeral took place according to the manners
and rites of the country ; but somehow or other the
false representation must have got wind, and whether
instituted by the priests or not, remains unknown; the
body was found mutilate.' and naked in the Church-
yard the next day—however, to the honour of the Au-
thorities, I must add, that the infamous act was treated
by them with just indignation ; a reward offered for the
discovery of the perpetrators, and the decent teinterment
officially ord red. The Govet nor has since, upon the
representation of the English and other foreigners, who
had formed themselves into a Committee, to protect
them against any similar occurrence, offered to give
them any pi:ce of ground they ufght fix upon for a
hur;al place, with permission to enclose it either by a
wall or iron railing."
One of the Mussels Papers contains an article from
Leghorn, stating, on the authority of the Captain of a
ship, who had arrived there from Constantinople, that
" the Porte has given notice to the foreign diplomatic
agents, that henceforth, all foreign slips entering the
Dardanelles, to whatever nation they may belong, must
stop and ask permission to pass the Straits. Those
which shall, notwithstanding, attempt to pass, without
permission, shall he consitirred as enemies, and sunk by
toe batteries. It was reported that other measures were
intended against the navigation of European ships."
No cause is assigned for this alarm, but we should not
be surprised if it has been occasioned by the revived
rumour that Lord CotHttaxa will, notwithstanding the
Order in Council, assume the cAntnand of a fleet des
tined to aid the Greeks. The name of this Of
strikes more terror at Constantinople than the whole of
the Greek navy, though it has dt•ng much to cause it-
self to be both feared and respected.

The Hydro Gazette, of the 6th of December, eon! tins !
a dispatch from Admiral %halms, dated the 27th of I
November, off Chiarenza, giving an aermint of an
action with the Turkish fleet, on the 25th of that
month. off the S ophades.. The Turks were the assail-
ants, but they were repulsed ; and, the Admiral says,
would have been beaten with very peat loss, if the
Spezziot divi-ion, with its fire-ships, had been there in
the beginning of the-action. 4‘ Ors this occasion," says
the gallant tdtnoctss " the bravery of our fellow-
citizens has been unprecedented, and their patriotism
i imitable, having, in the absence of the Spezzlots and
Ipsariots, with only twenty-seven aTrned brigs and
,cbconers, and six b►.ilots, ventured to come out, chal-
ler:ge, and attack the fleet of the enemy, consisting of
one hundred and twenty sail (at least). and have ac-
tually defeated forty of their largest ships ; that is us
say, ships of the line, f►igates, and corvettes."
SacatlLFGE.—Wednesday night last some thieves con.
trived to force an entrance into the Vest•y Hoorn at the
back of Bayswater Chapel, when they broke open a box
therein, and stole money to the amount of 401. or .501.
they then proceeded to the Chapel, where they packed
up various articles, and quitted the place undetected.
Information was forwarded to H rrris, the Constable of
Boyswater, who is making every inquiry after the
thieves and property.
- M. BAcctoctrt, the rich Italian Jew, who married a
sister of NAPOLEON, bas sold his_ beautiful estatb and
villa. near Trieste, th Madame Mortar, for 70,000
florins (about 15.0001. sterling). The Ex-Queen of
Navies haying at length received permission from the
Emperor Fnancts to reside permanently at Trieste,
made this pnrcha.c with great alacrity. There is
Mausoleum on the estate, which cnritains the remains
of the departed Madame Bacciecnr, and two of her
children.

CORONERS' INQUES
An Inquest was taken before Mr. Moos, the
Deputy Coroner, in Tothillt fields Bridewell, on the body
of an Want male child, two Months old; who_ died. in
the prison, where its mother was corifined, charged with
robbing her lodgings.
The mother of the infant said, that the child had
been unwell for the last fortnight. A few-days sire...,
her sister took the chil f to a chemist's, and pincured
some medicine, which composed it. It ate 'h-artily, and
slept well till abtut ten o'clock on Friday night, when
it cried. Soon after four o'clock ova morning, the
child took the breast; did not cry after that, and she
considered he was settled for sleep, as the deceased lay
quite composed. She afterwards 'heard a mule in his
throat, and on taking it up, discoveted the child %sac
dead. Witntss's sister slept with her, and several other
women were in the ward. The bed place was lerfectly
warm, and the child was very hot when dead.
Mr. John Lavies, the house surgeon, said, when he
saw the deceased ief.nt, it had been dead some hours.
He examined it ; there were no marks of violence; and,
in his opinion, the child died of infantile consumption.
Mr. J. Russell, the clerk of the prison, produced the commit-
ment of Mary Cruise, the mother, by the Magistr.ite at Queen-
square, for stealing sheets at her lodgings.
The Jury returned a verdiet—" Died by the Vi.itation of Goo."
An Inquest was held at Hampton Coutt, a lew days
ago, on the body of a young Lady of about 25 years
of age, very respectably connected there. It appeared
that she lad fallen into the rivet on the night of Friday
se'nnight. Her bonnet and sh .wl, which were found
on the bank of the river, led to the discovery.

VArdict—" Found drowned ."
Thursday la-t, a Coroner's Inquisition was taken
by Mr. Geld., the Deputy Coroner fir the City and
Liberties of Westminster, and a highly respectable Jury,
at the General Penitentiary at Milbank, on the body of
a man named Wm. Hodges, a convict, confined in that
prison. The Jury, on th evidence, returne l a verdict,
" That the deceasei died by the vi,itation of Goo from
natural causes." _

An Inquest was held yesterday at the Eephant,
Kingsland-road, on the body of a male infant, about
four weeks old, which had been found in a privy in
Orchard-street, Kingsland-road. It was apparent, from
the state of the body, that no midwife, nor accoucheur.
had assisted at the delivery. Several witnesses were
examined, whose testimony seemed to point to a girl
named Malcolm, as the mother. The mother of the
girl, however, swore that she had never been with
chili, and her evidence was, luckily for the poor girl,
most amply corroborated by a medical practitioner.

The three Hamburgh Mails which arrived Thursday,
came by the way of Heligoland, to which place ar-
rangements are made for conveying the letters by means
of ice boats, whenever the navigation of the Elbe shall be
interrupted by fro,t. The letters, which are to the 17th
instant, give no political intelligence. One of the most
eminent merchants of Hamburgh, a Gentleman of ad-
vanced age, and a Member of the Senate of that city,
is said to have been assisted by the Legislative Body, of
which he is a Member, to the extent of 600,000 marts
banco, in order to enable him to meet the demands upon
him. It is an eld established custom in Hamburgh,
should any Member of the Senate experience comtner-
cial difficulties, that the rest interfere to support their'
credit by advances of money, in order to avoid the re-
flections which, in a commercial town, might otherwise
be cast upon the whole body.
Letters from Rangoon; dated August I lth, say,
"Our last accounts from rome, dated-the 7th instant,
are favourable. The Burman: are quarrelling among
themselves, and in great confusion and alarm in the
capital. We have sent a flag of truce op to the Court,
to see whether they are inclined for peace yet. I be-
lieve they are, and have been so for a long time. Country
boats are now in full employ, consequently, our sup-
plies going up as they ought. The troops at Prome
are sickly, but from no other cause than their own in-
temperance. At this place we continue perfectly healthy.
It is not thought our troops can move before November."
ANOTHER CHIMNEY SWEEPER SUFFOCATED.—Sat Ur.
day morning last, two boys, chimney-sweepers, en-
gaged, in the absence of their master, to sweep the flues,
in the Turkey Paper Mill, near Keighley. o.;e of the
boys, named Henry Johnson, proceeded to clear them
of their contents, but after staying a considerable time
longer than was necessary, and after being repeatedly
called on, the other boy went in search of him, but had
not proceeded far before he was obliged to retire with
ae 'Ay the loss of his life. After being three hours in
the floe, the unfortunate boy was extricated a corpse,
ifrom suffocation. A Jury is summoned to invest gate
the case. The little sufferer was fourteen years of age,
and came from the Fens, in Lincolnshire. He related
a few days before his death, to a Gentleman in Keigh-
-1 ley, a must affecting narrative of his adventures ; he
h gave his name as above, and said his father was a stone-
' maso-', and in comfortable cit cumstances, but appren-
ticed him to a chimney-sweeper, in his own neighbour-
hciod,'a few years ago. His master not having suffi-
cient employment for him, made him over (as he ex•
pressed it) to one of the profession in Leeds. The latter,
after employing him some time, disposed of him to
:mother Chimney Sweeper who, he said, tired him most
inhumanly, mten beating him, and allowing 1144
nothing but the soot hags to lie upon!

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
•
A BOW-STREET.
Mr/Pi:ahem and illiableth Mae*, were tharged Irish stealing
a of silver spoons, linen, &c. the property of Mrs. M• Beath,
.a lodging-house keeper in Norfolk-street, Strand.
Mary M' Mahon had been servant to Its. *Beath, and was
discharged from hrr service a few days ago, without ally particular
suspicion of her dishonesty ; bur, on Wednesday last, her fellow-
prisoner offered a silver table-spoon in pledge to Mr. Newby, a
pawnbroker. in Drury-lane ; and he 'presuming that she had not
come honestly by it, detained her, and gave information at this
office, when Cousins one of the parrole, found out the lodgings of
Mary M' Mahon, and recovered a great variety of articles, which
Mrs. M' Beath now identified as her property.
Both the prisoners were remanded for further examination, in
order to give time fur the attendance of °tinr pawnbrokers, with
whom they are supposed to have pledged some of Mrs. M' Beath's
property.
Halm, a pawnbroker, in Museum street, was convicted
in the penalty of ini. under the Pawnbrokers' Act, for neglecting
to make due entry in his hook of a pledge at the time he received
it. He affirmed that the entry was omitted by mistake merely ;
and gave notice of appeal against this conviction.
William Sheppard. the won of a person who farms the turnpike
tolls on several of the roads near Frame, in Somersetshire, was
brought in by James Wall. one of the Bow-street patrol, who had
just apprehended him on a charge of having absconded from Frome,
with some money which his father had intrusted him to collect.
It appeared that the prisoner assisted in the business of his father,
who, on Saturday last, sent him to collect the rents of some small
houses in the town of Frame. Ile received about 301. and, returning
home Intoxicated, his father remonstrated with him, which su
offended him, that, with the money still in his pocket, he set off by a
stagecoach for London. Nest day,lhe father got a friend to follow
him, and that friend gave information of the robbery at this office,
and the officer abovementioned succeeded in apprehending the fugi-

the yesterday morning, just as he was about to take a boat from
Waterloo bridge to Greenwich—" for a day's pleasure," as he said.
He had EL of the money about him at the time be was apprehended,
and the officer recovered 201. more, which he had given into the
care of a coffee-shop keeper in Wych-stteet.
He destined saying anything in his defence, and he was sent back
in custody to Frome.
Charlotte Berkley, a Lady, in whose brain the fumes of Thursday
night's gin 'still made sad inroad, was brought up on a charge of
being found ceiling in the kennel, in all the majesty of mud and
tons. On his Worship making the inquiry whether she had been
riotous in her cups? the testimony of the watchman acquitted
her, Mr. Fitzgerald observing, with a knowing look, that" the
cratur was too dead for that." She was therefore discharged with
a reprimand.
