BLA DM entered into a statement c the tonne of
proceedings in the ).leclesiastical Courts., to show that it
was the practice to furnish a list of witness to the de-
fendant. A libel we% surd nut, which, like an indict-
ment, could never he altered after it was once admitted.

'thought the Iltruse of Lords on no acconut could be im-
partial judges, as they were the accusers at the same

Queen than a Hill of Pains and Penalties, fur the articles
should specify distinct acts. lie supported the adoption

A T.tts or 31 vs-rim—We have just received a letter
front one of our correspondents in Cleveland, respecting
a deeply affecting occurrence whicirlatelv took place in
that part of the country, and n Mai has already become
a topic of conversation. The Hey. W. (fray, of West
Itounton, being a few weeks ay., at Al:4tlleton-one-llow
(a small watering-place sititatedon the hank, of the Tees,
about four miles from Croft), at the time when an un-
known lady died under peculiar circumstances, he mule
some inquiry into the stibjert. Oar correspondent for-
warded us the requisite information ; and though it was
received too late for the last Herald, the fohowing par-
ticulars are thottelit worthy of present insertion :—On
the 25th nit. a lady bete red :w and .10 year! of age, at.
rived in a stage coach at the Tontine Inn; a gentleman,
who also arrived on the outside of the said coach, paid
great attentiou to her—and they passed the night together
as man and wife. The Gentleman, alto was a tall stout
man, with a mark or dimple on his left cheek, proceedtsl
to York the following day, and soon after returned south-
ward.—The lady flrove at the Sallie time in a chaise (for
;which the gentleman paid) to the watering place shove-
; named, and took lodgings adjoining the Sulphur Wells,
in that village; she seemed deeply dejected ; her deport-
; ment was mild, genteel, and molest, awl her voice sweet;
she appeared to have hail a very superior education.—
Soon after her arrival she was taken ill, and a medical
gentleman was sent for, who after atteuding her some
time requested her to disclose her name, or connections;
but this request, $ tough several times urged, she p re-
remptorily refused to comply with. Iler illness increased,
and in a few days she breathed her last. The profes-
sional gentleman who attended. gave it as his opinion
that she died of grief alone. A letter eras found upon
her, bearing the Newcastle post-mark, from a person of
the name of White, requesting her to meet him at the
Tontine Inn, ifs she had done before, when they went to
Guisbrough : the letter farther stated, that if he did not
meet her, she was to direct a letter to a certain gentlsmau
in Newcastle, to be left at the post-ofliee ; and also con-
taining a request that she would book herself at the
coach-office as Mrs. White, or to use no nauw whatever.
—Five pounds were found in her pocket. Our cur.
respondent in Cleveland concludes with the following
words: •• Who the parties were, or whetsele they came,
is still a mestere—but shade' I learn any thing further,
I will readily inflows yon."--(York Ileto14.)
