LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM CHINA . On Saturday , an Extraordinary Gazette was publish e d , containing the official details iurnished by Major-General ( rough , respecting the operations aeu' . nst Canton , being copies of those published in the Indian paper * . These dispatches contain " extracts" from , the Gallant Captain Stenhouse ' s narrative . The Gsz ^ tle publishes a « opy of bis report in foil . The only material point , however , is the Captain ' s opinion of Captain Elliot ' s" treaty . On tide subject , he sayB—** The terms were in opposition to the opinions of the Major-General and myself , as ihty left the troops in a precarions position for some days j when the conduct of the Chinese hitherto was considered ; with whom delay had always beea used to strengthen their defences ; the result of which had aJtrajB been a breach of faith . It gives another fair opening for Chinese treachery to work , and i t
took a * aj the apparent symbol of captnre , which would haTe boon prevented by seeing the British banner floating within the city walls , and those jridls Jying crumbled before it . " The fortified heights in the city once gained , the Chinese troop 3 . might have inarched out asd laid down their arms , and not s British soldier had any occasion to enter the populous part of the town . That one of the first cir . es of the Chinese Empire , whose population of 1 , 200 , 000 , defended by 40 , 000 soldiers , in and withcu ; the walls , whose defences had been now a whole year in preparation ; strong in its natural position , ana approachable only by an intricate and uncertain navigation , near 100 miles inland , should have in tii ; ee days fallen before a force of not more than 3 / -00 effective men , soldiers , royal marines , and seain _ : n , I trust will be considered a circumstance gratifying and creditable to the national feeliug , and to her Majesty ' s arms : —
EXTRACTS FROM THE OVERLAND DISPATCH . ~ Pi odamation by the Three Imperial Commissioners ctftriag R&rards fvr the Bodies , dead or alive , of her ilajssfy ' s Plenipotentiary , Brevier , Morristn , Dent , Thorn , Keaheape (!) By the rebeHion-quell'ng generaliEsimo , Tin , and the Selected amifltant great Ministers , Yang and Lung , a perspicuous proclamation to be circulated everywhere , corceraing a universal conferment of rewards . As to the first reward , he who obtains it shall obtain favour and honour in the eyes of his countrymen fcei-oming the most eminent worthies , his merit will be extraordinary . In crooked and diSLcnlt emergencies , then Is the Hes to use all men of superior talent
The Bngiish rebels , aiaca the past year , when they tirtw in the apple of discord at Tiughae , until now hav « be > in rebelling against heaven , and preversely opposed to ressen ,- domineering and avaricious , depending upon their u-anibers , they attacked and laid in ruins the frontiers , and from the profligacy of their dispositions , abandoned themselves to lewdness aad robbery ; dug cp the graves : but what crimes fead the decayed bones committed ? Burnt and laid in ruins the field * and huts ; and the people ' s fat is altogether exhausted ; they have peeled the flesh and drunk the marrow ; and the ercw of the cock and the bark of the dog are sounds
that have been cut off from myriads of families ; and ch " . l * reo of three cubits in height have not escaped a less of chastity and deSJement « f their persons ; and now they have- come to Canton , and with mow false pretexts seek for reconciliation ; taking advantage of our being unprepared ; and with fox-like cunning ( implying we are foxes changed into men ) they seduce both those abroad aad at home to become traitors ; and with rat-like irresolution their furtive glances are the curse of Chins ; this is what causes the hearts of men both far asd near to grieve , and the diddle and outside nations to tnash their teeth .
We have received the Imperial orders to apply ourselves to one purp « se only—that of subjugation , and to lead on the troops to extermination , and rescue the people on the frontiers out cf the water and * fire , an 1 Be : za the rebellious seed as the kink-e-fish , devour its ftash , atd sleep in its akin . We early txbort the people to streaghtben thtir resolution , and to clap the King-e on its bacs and grasp its horn ; let all strenuously unite thtir miBds and strength . Ye civil and military officers , cocutry gentlemen , aad scholars of Canton , are general '} " S 3 id to lore righteousness , and hitherto have cultivated the principles of reason , and your "whole province teems with plenty and happiness ; your resources are Illimitable ; the winds and clouds now collecting in hximony , your whole dependence is now on excellent stxataeems , and all are now gratefully incited by the
dciirs of the holy Lord to save his people ; you all have Heaven ' s warrant for the merit of destroying all your enemies ( Le ., if you conquer the English you will have another equal ) , and to build up prosperity and happiness in your several neighbourhoods , asd again have yocr names engraved for meritorious loyalty on bamboo and silk , and have the official patents hanging down "with pendant seals ; and we , the officers , susamon those who possess the knowledge of right principles , then plenty of national happiness will visit us , and the people will enjoy the hltssings of peace . We the generals hold by your oatha as water , and grasp the lavs as a mountain ; when issuing orders , -we act up to theai , and will not postpone our rewards ; we again , therefore , issue these commands , and distinctly arrange the scale of
rewards-Repay ( them i for having involved you in calamity ; and revenge those who sacrificed their lives for their country ; when we can in the morning report your merits to the Euperor , you will in the evening be prodsimed on the lists of the meritorious . Te , saidiers and people , take care not to commit yourselves as the Chusanites ; then , perhaps , you will be firm as rocks in the pearly sea ; let each obey this simplicity ; slight it coi A special proclamation . The folia wing is the scale of rewards : —
Any one , either of the military or the people , who seize aad deliver up Elliot , shall be rewarded with ltu . dollars , and reported for promotion to the 4 th decree of rank . Those who seise and deliver up Elliot ' s subordinates—Bremer , Morrisson , Dent , Thom , Key Heap (? i shall be rewarded with 50 . 009 dollars , and be reported for promotion to the 5 th degree of ra ; -k . Those who concoct a plan for burniEg the English iarharian'a ships of war , with reference to the number o ! their masts—at the rate of 1 , 001 dollars for one mist ; for a schooner , 3 , 600 dollars .
Those who seize alive any head thieves , captains , < 5 tc of her Majesty ' s ships , besides the settled scale of rewards , if there are any goods on board the ship , they shall bs divided among the captors . If any - dare obstinately to oppose , they shall be heavily punished , withoaE any remission . Those who seize a steam-Yessel shyil be rewarded with 6 , 000 dollars , and her cargo «> i » h be divided amongst them . Merchants of any foreign nation , who seize and deliver up Euiot , -and aid China in the meritorious works of exterminating the English , shall be rewarded as follows , under the season ' s regulations ; they shall be reported to be released from >>» if the usual duties , in order to rouse them to exertion .
Those who are thoroughly acquainted with the dispoptions of the barbarians , and can outwit by stratagems their adherents , or cut off thsir race , or make fire utensils and vessels to destroy the lives of the barbarians will be all allowed great merit ; if they wish to become public officers , they will be reported for that purpose : if they do net wish to become public officers , they shall be rewarded with 20 , 00 * dollars . Those- who st ' izs alive a native-born Englishman Bhall be rewarded with 200 dollars ; those who cut off an Englishman ' s head shall receive 100 dollars ; for a live native of India 58 dollars , and for his head 30 dols . will be given .

Fire-Rafts . — : From the Canton Press )—A very tcrioas accident , attended with the most distressing loss of life , occurred a few days sines to a boat ' s crew of the Scaleby Castle . Two fire-rafts , or rather firejunks chained together , were seen drifring upon the . Scaieby Castle , then near the second bar , when , to avoid the danger threatened from them , the cutter , manned with upwards of twenty hinds , was . sent to tow them out of the way—a serrica which was happily effected , both the jacks being towed ashore and left in the mud- One of them seon burnt out , and the other filled with combustibles , was not on fire . It wis thought prudent , to avoid her doing any future damage , should she get afloat again -with tte flood-tide , to Bet her on fire also , and the cutter aceordiwzly returned to
effect this . The vessel was found to be filled -with combustibles of all descriptions , particularly powder , and some of the boat ' s crew imprudently tranierred Borne of it to the cutter : the junk was then set fire to , and the cutter came away , but returned shortly after to the fireship under the impression that the fire had not taken effect , when all at once she blew up with a tremendous explosion , setting fire also to the powder in the boat and blowing her neariy to pieces , and injuring almost every one of her crew in a most dreadful manner . The chief mate was very badly burnt , aid fifteen of the men were sent to the hospital here , where the survivors arrived in a sad plight , two of thtm having died on their way down , and several others since , while it is feared that many more of the sufferers will -not long survive the injury sustained . ;

Since my arrival In Canton province the forts of Oochung ( first bar ) , Ty-wong-kow ( Macao passage fort ) , Tung wong-kong ( Swallow ' s beat fort ) , and other places were lost . I then consulted with . Lung and Yang , assistant commissioners , and erected on the banks of the river , in succession , the stone fort of Nyching ( near where the British troops landed ) and batteries at Wungsha , at the Slaghae-gate ( petition gate ) , and at Hungmeou-ehuck ( a temple in the suburbs ) , at Kwangcha ( above Shaming ) , and at Yih-cha-wih , and other places . Officers and soldiers guarded them , asd all around we put tip sand-bags , palisadoes , piles of stone and balls : we , moreover , dug trenches for the protection of the soldiers . We also placed sand-bags all around the city walls to make them stronger , and I myself , with the assistant commissioners , went round to reconnoitre and inspect the works in different places . Besides , we embodied some of the brave Fokeen sailors , to the number of more than one thousand meB , and prepared rafts and straw to make attacks by fire .
On the evening of tbe tat day of the fourth moon ( 2 lst of May ) , the great conflict with , the barbarians commenced at the western fort . We attacked them . with our guns , burning instantly five of their boats , breaking two of their guns , and smashing two great masts of the barbarians' ships . They were now all returning , when your Minister , at the fifth watch ( three o ' clock to five , a-m ) was upon th » point of bringing up his soldiers for their extermination ; but all on a sudden the number of their vessels was increased by sixteen ships , eight steam-ships , and eighty ships' boats , which all pressed forward . The soldiers , oh account of the hard fighting during the night , were all fatigued , their guns were few , and , although they had fired several tens of rounds , yet , the barbarian ships being
strong aad numerous , they could not beat them back Their soldiers finally got on shore , and rushed to the plunder of tbe city , entering the forts at the small and large northern gates , and attacking the town on three sides . Their rockets were thrown in masses ; their bails hit the people ' s houses , and they caught fire ; all our own soldiers had not a place to stand on ; their cinnon was melted by the fire of the barbarians , and the buildings destroytd ( magazines blown up ?) I cannot yet accurately ascertain the number of all the soldiers and great officers that were killed and wounded . We were hard pressed , and returning into the citymyriads of people were weeping and wailing ; the number of those who invoked heavea and begged for
peace covered the roads . When your Minister looked with his own eyes upon this , his very bowels were torn asunder . In stooping down from the wall , I made inquiries from the barbarians ; they all said that several millions of taels for the surrendered opium had not yet been paid , and therefore they requested the sum of 1 , 000 , 000 taels in liquidation thereof , and then they would immediately withdraw their soldiers , and retire outside the Bogue ; that they had to make so other request ; and that then the people might go out in their accustomary way . I then asked them about the surrender of the whole territory of Hongkong , and they replied that Keshan had civeu it them , and thai an authenticated paper from him to this effect had been placed upen record .
Your Mmister theught that the city was in danger ; that there had been repeated disturbances , and that tha whole people were prostrated in mud and ashes ,- I therefore agreed to this pro tempore ; moreover , I consider again that this was a solitary city to be fought acainst , and that both the fat and liver were greatly iajured . There was , moreover , do battle field for deploying a great army , and 1 could not do otherwise than befniie them to go out of the Bogue , Then we shall repair our forts , and again endeavour to attack and exterminate them , and recover our old territory of H cngkoog . Tour Ministers beseech your Majesty to deliver ua over to the board that we may be punished , and also to direct that Ka , the Governor , and E , the Lieuteaant-Governor , be severely dealt with . Respectfully , we present a petition from all the people asking for peace . Your Minister is conscious of not being guiltless .
UNITED STATES—ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN ' . Bristol , FaiDAT . —The Great Western left New York on the 25 th ult ., and reached Bristol this morning at seven , having made the passage in twelve days aud twelve hours . Sh 9 had rather a rough passage , She bringi forty-one passengers , and New York papers to the 25 th , ten days later than tbelatt arrival . DEATH OF LORD SYDENHAM . Montreal papers received at New York on the 2 ith ult , announce the death of Lord Sydenham , governorgenerai of the British North American Provinces . He had not recovered from the severe accident which he met with by the fall from his horse , lock-jaw was brought on in consequence , and he died at his residence in Kingston on the 19 th of September . The sudden and lamentable event had caused universal sorrow in the provinces .
THE M'LEOD TRIAL . ( From th « Neto York Journal of Commerce . ) The important trial will take plaee next week , and , in consequence of the illness of the Chief-justice Nelson , Judge Grindley will preside . We also learn that there exists no doubt among those who have examined all the testimony , that he will bo acquitted . Thus will end all difficulties in relation to M'Leod ' s apprehension and indictm&nt . Trial op Alexander M'Leod . —Tbe circuit court and court of oyer and termiaer , which is to try Alexander M'Leod on an indictment for mmrder , alleged to hive been committed at Schlosser , in this State , on the night of the 29 th December , 1837 , commences its session at Utica , next Monday ( September 22 ) . From a list ef forty-eight jurors , twelve will be drawn for the trial of M'Leod . M'Kenzie , in his Volunteer , says , " I never heard of one cf them till now . " He , however , expresses the opinion that M'Leod will be eonvicted .
Acc » rding to the laws of New YoTk ( says the Volunteer ) , M'Leod , if convicted , cannot by the help of his British and Websterian friends , carry tbe matter into the federal courts at Washington , for if he was at Schloosser he c&Hie voluntarily into a sovereign state , committed murder , was not kidnapped , but voluntary returned and was arrested , and is therefore in the same situation as if he being a native citizan were indicted in the state . We are not among those , if any there are , wbo expect tkat this dispute will result in war , —yet there is no advantage in blinking tbe dangers which do in fact exist . There are dangers , and they are serious ones . There is danger from the boundary question .
There is danger from the general irrritation of the pub-Hcmind , both in this country and England . Neither nation is in a mood to bear so much from the other as they were five years ago . Both are proud , self- « onfldent , and self-willed . An unfortunate turn of events may precipitate a war , contrary to the wishes and original intentions of the parties . There are many on both sides of the Canada line , wbo will do their best to complicate affairs , and render a pacific adjustment impossible . If M'Leod should be either acquitted , or , en being convicted , be immediately pardoned , we have no doubt the affair will pass off in the form of diplomacy ; bnt if he should be executed , of which we believe there is no probability , then look out for breakers .
Mb . Fox asd the M'Leod Affair . —( From the Journal de Commerce , )—There is nothiag in the late news from England that contradicts tbe intelligence received from Halifax , viz ., that despatches were preparing for Mr . Fox of a nature to bring the affair of M'Leod to a crisis . On the contrary , all that has publicly transpired goes to confirm the supposition that the British Government intends to bold the Gevernwent of the United States to the principles of national law as avowed by Mr . Webster , as all knowledge of the individual state of New York is disclaimed in the transaction . It is purely a national affair , and we have yet to learn whether Mr . Fox has received instructions to remain at his post , awaiting the decision of a circuit court of this state , which , whatever may be its results
in this individual case , leaves the main principle undisposed of , viz , the right of any power to make individuals personally responsible for public acts of duty , performed under the orders of tbe national authorities of their constry . If the British nation submits this case to the jurisdiction of New York , she must be prepared to permit the same course to be applied to Sir Allen M'Nab , Capt Drew , and the forty-five individuals , who formed his force in the attack upon the " Caroline , " any of whom , coming within American jurisdiction , may be seized and tried , a contingency which may happen any day ; and thus we should have the new dilemma of Great Britain pretesting against the execution of the sentence of a court whose jurisdiction she had tacitly admitted in the case of M'Leod ;
an inconsistency , to await the consequences of which , Mr . Webster remains at his post These are probably " the delicate negotiations" which have been going on lately at Washington , and are most likely still pending . Sir R > bt . Peel , the present Prime Minister of England , in his speech in Parliament , on the 27 th of August , significantly intimated that there were matters under discussion of a nature not yet to be promulgated , and that Lord Palmerston ' s cautious replies to Mr . Roebuck " were anything but full or satisfactory . " That England desires the maintenance of peace , is unquestionable ; we have yet to learn whether she will purchase it at the sacrifice of a principle , which for ever after leaves the brave defenders liable to be arraigned as felons before any foreign , tribunal , fox doing theii duty in obedience to the orders of their superiors . Upon this pivot turns the whole affair . Men who reflect can judge of tke probabilities of Mr . Fox
countenancing or protesting against a course which places his country in the above dilemma . The British nation is arraigned , in the person of M'Leod ; can she go through the ordeal of a criminal trial , and if convicted sue for , or receive merey at the bands of tbe governor of an individual state ? Those wbo truly desire th « preservation of peace , will not press upon her such an indignity as the trial of Mr . M'Leod would in any event entaiL If England admits the principle involved in the detention and trial of Mr . M'Leod , the pacha of Egypt , or a governor of one of his provinces , may hereafter seize every officer of tbe British fleet which attacked Acre , and try and bang them as " murderers . " The Turkish Sultan , or any of bia pschas , may pursue the same measures to redress the " outrage" upon his fleet at Navariao . Neither of these hostile acts had tbe sanction of a formal declaration of war , and they were just as " illegal" as the attack upon the Caroline .
A Heavy Forgery
A HEAVY FORGERY
The New Orleans Bultyin of the 8 th s » j& : — " Intelligence has been received , liewrthat aif * < indMdaa ) cailidg himself John P . CaWwell had forged a letter of credit for 25 , 000 dollars , from the house of Maunsel White and Co ., of this city , upon the banklBj-hons * of Brown , Brothers , and Co ., te New York , which latter Inn is a branch of the English firm of that name in Liverpool . Caldwell is supposed to be the Englishman who forged certificates of deposits to a large amount upon several banks of this city last winter . " The Bee statas that the letter of credit was sent from Georgetown , D . C ., based on consignment of 1 , 011 bales of cotton . It was paid . —( Another account)—Two great forgeries have juBt been perpetrated on house * here by a process somewhat like that by which so large sums were obtained some months ago . la this case , one of the frauds was practised on tbe great : house of Brown , Broihers , an d Co . , of England , each for about 25 , 009 dollars .
( From tbe Elmira Republican ) Four Persons Bubnt to Ashes !—We have been furnished with tbe following details of a late horrible catastrophe . The house # f Sylvester S . H . Brown , « n South Creek , about eight miles from this place , was consumed by fire on the 11 th inst , at about eleven o ' clock at night , aud four persons , viz ., two sons of Mr . Brown , one aged eleven and the other five years , Thomas Smith , aged fifty years , and a daughter of Eazkiel Csmpbell , aged eleven years . Toe persons burnt , we are informed , slept up stairs , while Mr . Brown and his wife and a babe , who slept balow , barely escaped , without saving anything whatever but their night clothes . Mr . Smith was a stonemason , formerly from Smithville , Chenango co . The fire caught from a stove jsh&nty , joining the house , very probably near the staircase , which prevented a descent of the persons upstair *—we must suppose there was no upper window large enough to admit of jumping through .
State of Parties—Pleasant prospects . — All the furies of faction are now turned loose at once . We are to have a long and violent political strugglebreaking up of the old parties—and old friendships . There is a distinct object in this strife . The Claymen have hoisted the Wanner of the bank—the fight for a bank aud nothing else . The state of things at the approaching session of Congress will be extraordinary and exciting . The severance of old political friends will create a fearful war of words—and , probably , the Bowie knife will be brought in aid of the argument That is the opinion deliberately given in the late debate in the house on the last week's riot , by Mr . Warren , of Georgia , and other respectable members . Tbe abolition question , which must ke met at the opening of Congress , and is the first thing to come up , will add much to the general excitement and confusion . — New York Inquirer .

CRIM . CON . IN HIGH LIFE—DAMAGES ONE THOUSAND POUNDS . Mitfohd v . Molikeux—( Before Mr . Secondary Potter . ) This was an action brought by the plaintiff in the Secondaries Court on Friday , to recover damages from the defendant , for having had criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife . Sir W . Follett appeared for the plaintiff , and Mr . Cham bees for the defence . Sir Wm . Follett stated the case to the Jury . He said they knew perfectly well that a person who had sustained an injury such as that of the plaintiff—an injury so serious—the only course he could pursue was t # bring an action for pecuniary damages , without
which he could not obtain a divorce , nor be guarded against a spurious offspring succeeding to his estates and property . In the present ease there were no matters for them to decide , except the mere amount of pecuniary damages , as the case bad gone in favour of the plaintiff by default , inasmuch as the defendant had placed no plea on the record , nor did he deny the fact of adultery . He would shortly state the case for the plaintiff , who was a gentleman of ample fortune , residiDg in Hampshire , and was the cousin of Lord Rsdesdala Lady Georgians Mitford , his wife , was the daughter of Lord and Lady Ashburnham . The parties were married in tbe year 1828 , and at that time the conduct of the parties led their friends to believe that the union would be a most happy one . Fur
several years they did live in happiness and several children were the fruit of that union , som « of whom had died , but there were three sons still remaining . They continued to live in happiness till the year 1838 , aud in that year it was deemed necessary by the family of Mr . Mitford , that he and Lady Georgians should reside on tbe continent . He ( Sir W . Follett ) need not mention tbe circumstance which required this step . Mr . Mitford and Lady Georgi&na removed to the continent , and lived for a considerable time at Frankfort , Mr . Mitford having previously taken a houBe there . Whilst they were residing at Frankfort , the defendant the Honourable Mr . Molyneux , the son of the late Earl of Sefton , and brother of the present Lord , filled the office of Secretary to the Legation at Frankfort Lady
Georgiana had been acquainted with Mr . Molyneux in England , and that acquaintance had been renewed in Frankfort . Mr . Molyneux frequently visited the house of the plaintiff , and was frequently at their parties . On these occasions be showed great attentions to Lady Georgiana , and the greatest friendship existed between the parties . Tbe happiness of the plan tiff and his lady continued undisturbed till the autumn of the year 1840 . In the autumn of that year Mr . Mitford discovered a difference in the manners of his wife , and was at a loss to account for the change . Mr . Mitford had occasion to visit Dresden shortly afterwards , and on his return he feaud that his domestic happiness was entirely destroyed , discovering that the object of his previous care , solicitude , aud affection had flown from tbe roof of her natural protector , and was living in adultery with the defendant . Lady Georgiana was up to the
present moment living with the defendant bs man and wife . He ( Sir W . Follett ) was afraid he had not evidence to show the circumstances of Mr . Molyneux . He only knew him to be the son of a noble and wealthy family , but whether he was possessed of estates or other property , he was not aware . He moved in a high station of life , and had filled the office of Secretary to the Legation at Frankfort , the emoluments of which were very considerable . But he had been obliged to resign the office owing to the unfortunate occurrence , he ( Sir W . Follett ) was then detailing to them . Had the plaintiff been deprived by death of bis wife he would stlll , have had tbe melancholy satisfaction , but gratifying thought , that the remembrance would be associated with virtue . But now his position was pure , unmixed misery . He would now proceed to call witnesses in support of the case , and leave it in the hands of tke jury to assess the amount of damages .
Mrs . Farrer , the first witness ealled , deposed that she was the mother of the plaintiff , and was present at the marriage of her sou to the Lady Georgiana Ashburnham , which took place in the year 1828 , with the consent of both families . Her son was twenty-four years of age at the time of the marriage . Lady Georgiana lived on the most affectionate terms with her husband . She ( the witness ) never saw auything but the most perfect harmony existing between them from the time of their marriage up to their removal to Frankfort , in the year 1838 . Several sons , the fruit of their marriage , were living .
Lydii Royce being sworn , deposed that she had been in the capacity of lady ' s maid te Lady Georgiana Mitford . She accompanied the family when they went to Frankfort in 1 S 38 . On all occasions Lady Georgiana was most attentive and affectionate to her husband . During their residence in Frankfort . Mr . Molyneux was in the habit of visiting them . In the autumn ef 1840 Mr . Mitford had occasion to go to Dresden , and on the evening of his departure Lady Georgiana told witness that her brother had arrived that day at Frankfort , and that she was going to see him , telling her to pack up a small portmanteau , which she did , and Lady Georgians left the house with Mr . Molyneux in a carriage and four , and never returned .
Cross-examined—On one occasion previous to this occurrence , Mr . Mitford waa absent for some time in England ; on another occasion he was absent for a fortnight at Brussels . Mr . Molyneux resided at Wiesbaden , which ia about twenty-four miles from Frankfort . Lord Redesdale and Colonel Thomas Ashburnham severally deposed to the affectionate bearing shown by Lady Georgiana towards her husband , after their marriage . This beine the case for the plaintiff .
Mr . Chambers addressed the Jury for the defendant He contended that the most blameable person in the transaction was the plaintiff , who was indiscreet enough to leave bis wife , a beautiful woman , on the continent , alone for weeks together , amidst all the temptations that must necessarily surround h « r in the werld of fashion on the continent He called upon the Jury not to give heavy damages , as to persons in a station of life whose every comfort was destroyed in the loss of bis wife , and the estrangement of her affections . The plaintiff was a man of wealth , and allied by blood to a ooble family . He had the means of purchasing pleasure , and of possessing all the enjoyments ef life . On the continent the manners of the inhabitants were light and frivolous , much more so than the
inhabitants of this country ; and long might it be ere the English people became otherwise . Lady Georgiana was placed amidst temptations , and amongst a people ¦ where the foibles of ths softer sex were looked upon as trifles . She was neglected by her husband , and what more probable course , under such circumstances , and in such a land , than the one she bad unhappily taken ? There was » mode of proceeding wiih these delicate flowers—if he might use the expression—a mode in which to bring them back to health , when they were placed in an atmosphere which would make them droop and probably die . In foreign society , nothing was bo
dangerous as a wealthy man . leaving his wife alone amidst the world of fashion for so long a period as three weeks . Pity it was that Mr . Mitford had not had some kind friend who knew something of the World , to advise him to remove Lady Georgiana from this scene of temptation . He might have removed her when he found her manners alter . It was unfair to Lady Georgiana—it was unfair to Mr . Molyneux , not to have done so ; because , leaving her open to temptation at the time when he knew Mr . Molyneux was wichin reach , and knowing that Mr . Molyneux had paid attention to Lady Georgiana , it almost amounted to an invitation to Mr . Molyneux to come there to console her for the

absence of her husband . He did so , and in a hasty moment , perhaps , without consideration , Lady Georgiana had ^ kenfltot ^ isjepj ' which led to the present proceedings . It appeared so from the circumstances , because it was quite clear that the visit of Mr . Molyneux was not preconcerted ; aud every thing was done in haste , Lady Georgiana taking but one small portmanteau with her . It was a case of sudden temptation—it was a sudden impulse of the moment—there was no intention shown of an elopement having been contemplated by Lady Georgiana ; but in an unguarded moment she had taken that step she never could retrace . There was no undermining the affections of the wife on the part of the defendant —it was a sudden impulse of the . moment , wh i c h ever y
one must blame and condemn . Therefore , it was not ths heinous crime as might have existed in other cases * , where the lover might have flown : from the Tictlm of his passion . The / j ^ ad had evidence adduced to show thekindness and affection that existed between the plain tiff and , hia . wife , in England , but they had no evidence as to their domestic felicity abroad , If the history of this family on the continent were to be . gone into , it would be found to correspond with the history of one half the families from this country on the continent . On the continent they knew not what a domestic fireside was . They did not understand it , and when people went abroad they must do as the rest . The manners of this country dropped , and they found themselves different persons—all was gaiety and temptation .
Mr . Mitford and Lady . Georgians were like all foreign visitors ; they had no domestic comforts , their chief pleasures were visiting routs and balls in uninterrupted succession . With respect to damages , let them consider the state of the parties ; the plaintiff was a man to whom money coula ba no object ; tbe defendant was tbe youngest son of a large family , and they knew that the ysungest son of the richest nobleman was not a rich man . In consequence of this unhappy transaction , tbe defendant had been compelled to resign his situation aa minister of Frankfort , and ha had nothing to subsist upon except the small pittance usually doled eut to the younger son of a nobleman . He left it in the hands of the jury , but they were to consider that while the plaintiff was asking dam % ges at their hands , he was a wealthy man .
Mr . Secondary Potter summed up the evidence , but in so low a tone that he was quite inaudible at the place occupied by the gentlemen of the press . The jury retired for about twenty minutes , and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , £ l , » 00 .

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BAD MAGISTRATES . In 1839 , Mr . Unwin . a magistrate of Mansfield , apprehending an attack from the Chartists , proceeded to search certain houses for arms , and finding , inste a d of arm s , some Chartist correspondence , in the house of a person named Brojan , h e se ized the papers as treasonable . For th 9 Broyan brought an action , and obtained a verdict of one farthing dama g es , the Court having been of opinion that the Magistrate had exceeded his authority in the seizure of the papers . The procedure of t he s e ar c h for arms was e x t rem e l y questionable , it must be observed ; the information not having been of the import of any imminent danger , but merely that arms had been collected , and t h e searoh ha vi n g been made b y Mr . Unwin in person indeed , but without warrant . W « waive discussion , how ev er ,
on this part of the ease ; we will assume , indeed , that the search for arms was justifiable ; it will be euough for oar purpose that the seizure of papers was admitted to be an act beyond the Magistrate ' s authority , and the nominal verdict shows that the jury , with every disposition to look favourably at the Magistrate's proceedings , felt under the necessity of giving judgment against the legality of his conduct . The minister for the Home Department , seeing two faults in the proceedings of the Magistrate , —one in his having taken so strong a step as the search for arms without sufficient information , and the other in having exceeded his powers in the seizure of papers , —very properly refused to support or indemnify Mr . Unwin , aud left him to his own responsibilities for his own errors .
It is now made a matter of charge against the late Secretary for the Home Department that he did not sanction the Magistrate ' s abuse of his authority , and protect him against the consequences justly attendant on it . " Ltrrt Wharncliffe contended that the Noble Lord had in this , as in the sister country , manifested a bias against country gentlemen . " We do believe that this case may be taken as an example of what Lord Normanby did also in the Bister country , and for which he was so loaded with a bu s e ; tha t which , in Lord Whamcliffe ' s eyes manifested a biaa against country gentlemen having been the upright course of refusing to extend protection to illegal proceedings . Lord W harncliffe
continued" It was the bounden duty of a Secretary of State to afford all fair protection to the magistracy , and unless a proper confidence was established between the Homeoffice and the magistrates , the country could not be well governed . " Undoubtedly it i s th e duty of the Secretar y of State to afford all fair protection to magistrates ; but is the protection of an aot exceeding authority in the view of the President of the Council , a " fair protection !" If i t be , we should like to know where unfair protection can begin . We proceed wi t h the Pr e sident of the Council ' curious lecture on the merits of this case , and the duties of the Home-office , in respect of the defence of such
misdoings" The Noble Lord read several passages from the charge of Mr . Justice Littledale to the Jury , to show that , so far as arms were concerned , Mr . Unwin was justified in what he did , and then went on to contend that , even admitting Mr . Unwin had a little exceeded the law in seising papers while searching for arms , he was , nevertheless , considering all the circumstances of the case , and the state » f different parts cf the country at the moment , fully entitled to the support and protection of tbe Government He ( Lord Wharncliffe ) asserted that a magistrate finding papers of such a character would not hav « done his duty if he had not seised them , and that no magistrate could properly perform the functions of his office if he were t& be tied down by such strict rules . Though Mr . Justice Littledale admitted that Mr . Unwin had a right to search for arms where he bad reason to believe arms were to be found , he still thought that , in searching for arms , the magistrate was not , strictly speaking , justified in taking papers . "
The Magistrate had a little exceeded the law , admits the President of the Council : but for a little exceeding the law he was entitled to the support and protection of the Government . Nay , the Magistrate , strange to say , would not have done his duty if he had not a little exceeded his duty ; and no Magistrate , emphatically adds the President of the Council , can perform his duty if he be tied down by such strict rules—as what ?—the rules of keeping within the law and the bounds of authority . Again and again Lord Whamcliffo confessed that the Magistrate had exceeded his authority , and again and again-he blamed Lord Normanb y for not having sanctioned and defended the violation of the law . Mr . Unwin is dead , and the case is now of
importance only as it involves the question of principle , whether the Executive Government should or should not extend protection and impunity to magistrates who exceed their authority and violate the laws . Ma g i st rates , as i t is , are eo fenced in by the penalty of treble costs , in case of the failure of a prosecution , and in the favourable constructions which the law and the judge s p u t on t heir conduct , that i n none but very flagrant cases indeed will any one be bold enough to venture on proceedings against them ; but this does not content Lord Wharncliffe , who holds that when , notwithstanding all the extraordinary defences cast around them , the law declares them culpable , it is the duty of Gov e r n ment t o sanction th e ir o ffence s , and to compass their impunity .
The Bpeech of the President of the Counoil is indeed tantamount to a proclamation to the magistracy that the existing Government gives encouragement and impunity to any breaches of the law which they may be pleased to commit . And this promise of protection in wrong is held out at the very time when the disclosures of the Inspectors of Prisons , in addition to other examples of frequent occurrence , have made the public aware of the monstrous misuses and abuses of the mag isterial au t hori ty aad of the necessity of restraining them . —Examiner .
