OSBORNE.

This cause, which is au issue out of Chancery,
has been on trial bete for the last two days, and,
it is supposed:. will not be finished before to-mfr.
vow night. I hough only a trial at Nisi Prius,
yet, from its importance (the matter in contest
being the whole of the Irish estates of the late
Earl Beaulieu, which. at present, produce more
than 70001. a year), the Court is full, and all the
Judges preside.
These estates are claimed by Mr. Hussey, as the
heir at law. and by Lord Sidney Godolphin Os.
borne, the third son of the Duke of Leeds, as de-
visee of Earl Beaulieu, who died in 1802. Earl
Iteaulieu's family, the Ilusseys, were Catholics.
In 1760, the Nobleman, whose wilt is now con-
tested, conformed to the established religion. In
1797 he made that will, devising all !Ili estates to
Lord S. G. Osborne, subject only to the payment
of 6001. per annum to his brother, Richard Hus.
sey, for life, and 20,0001. to a natural daughter.
In 1802 he died, when Richard, his brother, en-
tered into possession of his Irish estates, gluon
whose death the title-of the lessee accrued. The
ground on which Eat! Beaulieu's will is disputedia
this, that he was, at the time of his death, • re.
lapsed Papist, and of cearse' rendered incapable.
under an Act of Parliament in fori:e in lrelind,
of devising Isis property.
The evidence given in support of this fact is as
follows :—That from 1760, when Earl Beaulieu
conformed, until 1796, he sat in the House ;
that from 1796, the period at which it was sup-
posed he relapsed, until his death, he diicott.
tinued doing in, in order to avoid, as it is sup.
posed, taking the oaths of supremacy' and abju.
ration. That about that period, he became very
intimate with Dr. Hussey, titular Bishop of Water.
ford ; that .Dr. Hussey went down to the Earl's
pommy seat, 20 miles from London, where "he
Celebrated mass in an outer room, where there was
no other person but himself and his clerk, whilst
the Earl was in the iuncr room, with the dour of
scommunirati.or between bath rooms open ;—that.
open another occasion, the Earl was seen kneel.
hog, whilst the Doctor stood over him, with his
hands spread upon his head, giving him his bone:
diction ; that the Earl's daughter was educated in
the Romish religion, under the immediate three-
tihn of the Doctor; and that the Earl expressed his
warm sense of the liberal education he had be.
stowed on hcr ; and, finally, that the Earl had ad.
vnitted to Mr. Hussey, that he had been reconciled
to the Catholic Church.
Lord S. Osborne's case has not yet been gone
into, but it is imagined that his Counsel will en-
deavour to show that the Earl was insane at the
Clue of his making the admission, and doing the
several acts alluded to.
Lord S. G. Osborne, a fine youth of 17, Mr.
Hassey, and a great number of witnesses from
England, both male and female, are in Court,
which is greatly crowded.
Mr. Hussey, the heir-at-law, is a very poor
man, awl was lately a clerk in the Hearth-motley
office, at 1001. a ytar salary.

John Bedding was indicted for burglatiously
breaking and entering the dwelling.house of Jo-
seph Smith, at Kensington, in the night of the,
28th of May, and stealing therein a copper pot,
a quantity of lead, a tin tuffee.pot, and other ar.
tides. `I
The prosecutor stated, that his house was tiro
ken open on the night laid in the indictment, be-
twcen eleven and twelve o'clock, and ou rising in
the morning he diseovered the depredations that
-had taken place. From inforination ho received,
he traced part of his property to the prisoner,
who was -apprehended, and from circumstances
which turned out in the course of inquiry, it was
clearly ascertained that he had committed the rob-
ber.
Tiy le prisoner denied the committal of the of.
fence, and offered to wager a pint he had as good a
character ao e'er a marl in the county. The facts,
however, were clearly proved, and he was ceu.
victed.

TO THE EDITOR 01 THE STATESMAN.

• .. OE WASTE LANDS.
•England and Scutland have enclosed much, Ire.
Jail • greitt'deal, Wales much less, yet we bear of
gentlemen in each Country, now living to reap the
fruit bf theirlabours, and at this day are receiving
immense returns for their cultivated wastes and
plantations of timber. Thcseaccousts shueld ani.
mite every man that has it in his power to cultivate
their wastes, and to drain their bugs ; villages will
naturally rise, population increase, and the face of
the country be completely changed. But many
gentlemen are unacquainted with the intrinsic
value of their estates, not knowing the rudiments
of agriculture.' This science should not be neg.
hetet! among others, as the most ancient'
and must honourable ; lit,, should be studied
'more 'than it is, in oar present system of
education. Stitely it is not derogatory to
the character of a gentleman, to know how
to manage his own domains to the best advantage!
A standard of kilowledlze is requisite to every cm.
ploy, and the must valuable to mice of snan's
cation, is that which leails 1.1.11 more immediately
to objects of real utility. Ve certainly attend,
at the present day, to matte's of less importance
thou this species of • protilable instruction. The
state of the continental world ; the reflection un
the vast sums expended annually on the imports of
corn and timber, our insularsituation, and a thou.
sand other cansidelations, should bend all our.
attention to these national improvements. Our
imports might be changed into exports, our corn.,
coerce extended, .cur navy supplied by our own.
growth, anirnot from the coasts 'of the Baltic; we
! should possess. More comforts within ourselves;
and be less under the cuntroul and caprice of the
Continent.

_
Great Britain affords a vast field of cultivating
our unproductive wastes, and of multiplying our
putiulatiun and industry. -Productive industry
will exhibit the atost powerful marks of vigour and
stAility in wiy people ; and with this, 'toe means
of subsistence will naturally increase,. and 'RAW.
clans may consider this state of any nation the
most blessed and never_failing source of wealth and
protection against their enemies.

On Sunday evening, about half past.past six 11
o'clock, the inhabitants at Canterbury were great.
Iy alarmed by a very unexpected fall of rain,
•
which, for nearly half an hour, came down in
`torrents, accompanied with repeated flashes of
lightning; when nearly ceasing, a large ball of
lire was seen to fall in New-street, which we arc
happy to learn did no mischief.
There has been a considerable fall of rain in
many parts of the country, though the drought
near town has beets so great that the meadow
fields will not yield more than half an average
crop of hay. The rain on Sunday evening fell in
torrents for several miles around Rochester, at.
tendedby•violents claps of thunder and lightning,
the most vivid that has been witnessed for years,
which did .Much .damage to several trees in the
neighbourhood.
Yesterday an aged female, of respectable ap.
appearance, was knocked down in the Do.
rough-road by a laboorer, who was cairying a
ladder in a state of intoxication. Rea head and
arm were severely bruised, sfird she vaasisonveyed
home in a dangerous situation. The Mew,. who
had *occasioned the injury by his negligent con.
duct, was detained in a polgic.bouse al he Ruda
