CONSISTORT COURT, Fss. es.

THIC !Alit OF PORTSMOUTH. PT /113 COMMITTEE, THE,
HON. N. TELLowas, V. MART ANN HANSON, FALEZLY

CALMED TUZ COUNTESS 01 PORTSMOUTH.
This is a suit instituted by the Earl of Portsmouth
by his Committee, to obtain a nullity of marriage, on
the ground that he (tbe Earl) being a lunat:c in 1814,
was, by circumvention and fraud, on the part of Mary
Ann Hanson and her friends, entrapped into a mar.
riage with the said Mary Ann Hanson. The applica-
tion made to the Court was, to decree that Lady
Portsmouth be allowed fonds nut of her husband's
estate, to enable her to defind herself from the allega:-
tions in the libel:
Dr. Lam m= and Dr. Picas. wen board against the applies-
don, and Dr. Smuts* In favorer of it.
Sir Cuirtsroetrea Roan/eon said, that he could not
distingii%h die case from others in which it ha 3 been
the practice of the Court_ to allow the wife funds to
Carry ,nn her defence, and to obtain the necessary evi-
dencelor that puerile. The objections to the appfica.
don were niultrfarous. It was first said that she had
finds of her Own, the I4Ord Chancellor having allowed
1,.,404 per &natant, as maintenance for herself and
child; it was next urged, that if the Court granted the
order prayed for, the Committee of the Earl of Ports-
mouth.would be placed in a difficult situation, havifig
no funds tot:liable hint to comply with the order of the
Court, without making a special application to the
:Lord Chancellor for that purpose.: Other objections
had been raised, but none of them, in his opinion, of
sufficient weight to take this case out of the usual prac-
tice of this Court, and on Thursday nest the Court
would promulgate such a qualified order as would not
place the Gentleman who was his Lordship's Commit-
.tee in the least difficulty. It was clear, that when the
Lord Chancellor. ordered the sum of liool. per annum
to the Countess and her child, that he did not contem-
plate the payment of the costs of this suit out of that
allowance.

Since the introduction of the Banking Business Bill
into the Home of Lords there have been made some
important changes: amongst other matters there is a
new clause 46 to empower the Governor and Company
of the Bank of England, trainhorise Cobstnittees or
Agents to carry on banking business for theta at any'
places • in England, in such manner is may be ap-
pointed by General Coons of the said Company.'
At Breedon, on. Friday; in three men, William and
James Shepperd, and John Atm:strong, were boring the
limestone reek, preparatory to its being blasted, part of
the rock pie way, and'falling on them, they were killed
upon the spot. They have each left a wife and children.
The Bill concerning. Discriminating Duties, wh ch
was read a third time the American Senate, on the
26th uk. is of great commercial and political import-
ance. The ground on which the United States ex-
cluded themselves from the benefits of the reciprocity
offered ender nat. 6 Geo. IV. c; 114, was the impo-
sition, by America, of a duty of a dollar per ton on
our colonial vessels more than on the vessels of tome
other nations. The Bill, which has just pined die'
Senate, k a recantation of the offensive duty on our
shipping ; and although no mention is made in it of
British ships, or British Colonies, or any thing British,
there is no doubt but that a view to Ha objects
produced the Bill. This circumstance shell that the
mutual intetest of Great Britain and the United States,
which points so clearly to a close commercial connec-
tion, begins to be felt, as it ought to be, on both sides
of the Atlantic. It shews, too, that the coarse pursued
by his Majesty's Ministers, has had precirly the effect
which it was intended to produce. We offered a fair
laciprocily ; but we adhered firmly to the resolution of
excluding trout the benefit of our liberal system those'
nations which would not grant us reciprocal benefits.
It is upon this lame ground that we base placed re-
strictions out the shipping of the Netherlands, waiich de
not exist as between Os and France. The recent Finch
Treaty is perfectly reciprocal ; and we nun, that ere
long, our trade with the greater pan of the globe will
be placed on a similar footing.
