street. Manchester square. Here she was visited twin
by Mr. Dmnittick• Oliver's, a Portugeete Gentleman:
Shortly after the husband came to town, and hi% wife
removed with him to Park-row, Regent's Park ; Whilst
lodging these, Dominick Oliverez came to the house
for seven ostensive Sundays, in the absenCe of
Majnr Mac Clean. On these oecasioni it was re-
marked that Mrs. Mac Clean dressed herself with
dhows' neatness, and took nricommrin pains in
decorating her room. Mr. Dominick °Stern al-
ways came at the same boar, and generally remained
for moot two hours. His name was never announced,
and during his stay with Mrs. Mac Clean the room
door was bolted. These circumstances excited the sus-
picinn of a female servant, who deterntined to watch
their proceedings; upon one occasion she Oared her
ear to the key-hole, and could distinctly hear the sofa
drawn into the middle of the room, and also heard,
among other things, Mrs. Mac Clean exclaims,--e. Oh,
how sweet it is at the moment!" Upon another visit
of Oliverez to Mrs. Mac Clean, her infant daughter, of
about three years old, was heat d tee screens ; the savant
ran up stairs, and found that the mother had put the
child outside the door and bolted it. Upon being taken
down to the kitchen, the child said before three witnesses
Gentleman kiss mamma, mamma kiss gentleman."
The intercourse was carried on in this minter for some
time. until an anonymous letter was sent to the brother
of Major Mac Clean, informing him of what was going
on between Olivetti and Mrs. MacCkan. At the sug-
gestion of the brother a letter was written to Oliverez,
as if it were from Mrs. Mac Clean, inviting him to come
at a particular hour. He was punctual to the appoint.
ment, but instead of his paramour, he found her husband
and brother Ding in wait for him. They caned him '
well, nntwithstanding the vigorous defence made for
him by Mrs. Mac Clean. Not satisfied with protpcting
Oliverez, she attacked her husband, repeatedly delaring
that he was any thing but a Gentleman. Olivetti
wet, however, dragged tip stairs, and Mrs. Mac Clean
was charged with committing the crime of adultery,
even before her child ; she did not pretend to deny the
fact, and when her husband was about to break open
her desk, she coolly said, 44 You will find nothing there
—they have all seen the flames." Unfortunately, how-
ever, for her, an envelope was found, directed in her
handwriting to Olivetti, in George-street, Portman-
square; Oliverea was ultimately tamed out of the
house, and as they were about to close the gate after
him she declared that it was unnecessary, as she was
deteemined to foliose-, him; she kept her word; in a
few days after she left the house, and actually com-
menced a mit against her husband, fcr restitution of
conjugal rights.
Doctors Pataussoal and DODSON appeared for the
husband, and the liriu's &mix's xi and Doctor. Maim.
were engaged for Mrs. Mac Clean.
The Judge (Dr. LUSHINGTON) was clearly of opinion
that adultery had been committed, and that the husband
was entitled to a divorce. There would, in his opinion,
be no security for the marital rights, if a man were
allowed, day after day, and Sunday after Sunday, to
visit a wife under such circumstances, without the
knowledge of the husband.—Sentence of divorce was
accordingly pronounced.

The balloting for new members is going on with great

Yesterday evening, a numerous and highly respecta-
ble Meting was held at the City of London Tavern, for
the purpose of establishing an Institution to support.
educate, clothe, and settle, .50 male and .50 female
Orphan Children. Captain GAMBIER (in the absence
of Lord Mandeville, who was prevented attending by
illness) took the Chair, and described the deplorable
condition in which the children of deceased seamim
were left, and the necessity of providing efficient relief.
It was stated that there were nearly 4,000 urphans of
seafaring men in the kingdom entirely destitute. A
series of Resolutions was carried for forming a Society.
Several Gentlemen, in moving and seconding the va-
rious Resolutions, addressed the Meeting at great
length. Atter thanks had been voted to the Chairman,
the Meeting adjourned.
Sunday morning, one of the patrols fund a Gentle-
man in Harper's Field., Paddington. bereft of all his
apparel excepting drawers and shirt, and he was
brought to the watchhouse in a state of insensibility. It
appears that he had been dining and thinking freely on
Saturday afternoon with a party in Brook street, Gros-
venor square, and was afterwards decoyed by some
loose girls, who, taking advantage of his indiscretion,
robbed him of three sovereigns and his clothes,.and left
him exposed to the inclemency of a vet y severe night.
As soon as he was able to giso. his address, a message
was sent to his house. and his Mends being acquainted
with his circumstances, brought him clothes, and con-
veyed him home in a coach.
A recent incurrence in Paris has caused great in.
terest among artist', and created consternatiin at the
Louvre. It is ascertained, beyond a doubt, that the
original picture painted by Raphael,- of Christ and the
•Disciple, or as others say,' itap4ae: l'outahno, his
fencing-master, a picture valued at 20,0004 actually
has been cut out of the frame, and utuodern picture
'substituted for it. How long it •has been so removed is
I not known, but it is generally believed in Paris that
!the original picture has found its way to England.—
Paris Lauer.
EDINBURG:I.—ManifoId have been the etymologies
proposed to explain the name of our Good town. Edin-
burgh has Iron derived from Edwin, a Saxon Monarch,
who lived some hundred years after it was known by '
its present appellation ; from Aidan, a Scottish Mo-
narch, who, for aught we know, never lived at all ;
him Ellin, Gaelic for the face of a hill; and from
Aidaa. British, signifying a wing; whence Camden la-
bours to Wein fy it with Outruns Alatum. The British
poet Anent in, the bard of the splendid song, who flou-
rished. in the sixth century, says that Edinburgh was
then inhabited by Celts, and consequently its name is
not to be derived from any Saxon word. Myanyzaveg,
Prirce of Edinburgh, commanded the confeJetate
armies.of the British Chiefs, dwelling between the
Fifths of Forth and Clyde, and the Roman Wall, and
fought the bloody battle of Cattraith (Ettrict ?) in
which he sustained a desperate defeat from the Saxons
of Deitia, or Northumberland. Three hundred and
,ixty wairiors, all of them Eatcloschenag, or wearers of
the golden chain, matched with their leader to this fatal
battle; three only survived the conflict; the bard Amu-
yin was one of these three, and his lamentation for the
fate of his comrades is still extanr. if we look for the
etymology of Ediuburgb in the British lingnege, which.
consistently with this Anecdote, we certainly ought, ar
incline to prefer that which derives the name from
Welsh, Edin, the steep face of a rock. When the
Saxons acquired possession c,l the fortress, Dun-Edin,i
of course, became Edinburgh. The earliest oiefition of
Edinburgh ha, been ascertained by the industry of ikfr.l
