This was an action brought against the de- fendant, Captain K<' rr, for criminal conversa- timi with the plaintiff's wife. The damages were laid at £ 20,000. Mr. Maean opened the pleadings. Mr. Pkillipps stated the plaintiff's casein the following eloquent speech: " Mi/ Lord, and you, Gentlemen of the Jury, " You have already heard the nature of this action, and upon me devolves the serious duty of stating the circumstances in which it has originated. Well indeed may I call it a seri- ous duty, whether as it affects the individuals concerned, or the community at large. It is not merely the causc of my client, but that of society, which you are about to try: it is your own question, and that of your dearest inter- ests; it is to decide w hether there is anv moral obligation to be respected, any religious ordi- nance to be observed, any social communion to lie cherished ; it is, whether all the sympathies of our nature, and all the charities of our life, are to be hut the condition of a capricious com- pact w hich a demoralized banditti may dissolve gust as it suits their pleasure or their appetite. Gentlemen, it has been the lot of my limited experience to have knoT. n something ofihe few cases which have been grasped by cur enemies as the pretext for our depreciation, and I can safely say, that there was scaicely one which, when compared with this, did not sink info in- significance. They had ali some redeeming quality about them— some casual and momen- tary acquaintance— sometaint of conjugal infi delity— some suspicion of conjugal connivance — some unpremeditated lapse, or some youth- ful impulse, if not to justify, at least to apolo- gize, or to palliate. Rut, in the case before you, the friendship is not sudden, but hereditary ;— the sufferer is altogether spotless;— the conniv- ance is an unsuspecting hospitality ;— and so far from having youth to mitigate, the criminal is on the very verge of existence, forcing a re- luctant nature into lust, by the mere dint ofar- tificia! stimulants, and struggling to elicit a joyless flame from not even the embers, but the ashes of expiring sensuality. One circumstance — one solitary circumstance can I lind for con- solation, and that is, that 110 billing defapier can make this the source of accusation against our country ; an Irishman indeed has been the victim, and this land has been the scene of the pollution, but here we stop: its perpetrators, thank Heaven, are of a distant lineage: the wind of Ireland has not rocked their Infancy : they have imported their crimes as an experi- ment on our people— meant perhaps to try how far vice may outrun civilization— how far our calumniators may have the attestation of Irish fathers, and of Irish husbands, to the national depravity: you will tell them they are fatally mistaken ; you will tell a world incredulous to our merits, that the parents ef Ireland love their little children ; that her matron's smile is the cheerfulness of innocence; that her doors are open to every guest but infamy : aud that even in that fatal hour, when the clouds collected, and the tempest broke on us, chastity outspread lior spotless wings, and gave the household vir- tues a protection. When I name to you my unhappy client I name a gentleman upon w hom here at least, I need pass no eulogium. To me ilr. Fitzgerald is only known by his misfoi- tunes; to you, his birth, his boyhood, and up to man's estate, his residence have mu- ie liiiu long familiar. " This is his own, his native land." And here, when I assert him warm and ho nor man, instantly confuted ; but if I am give liini the benefit of his heard in this his trial hourwith a commisscrat- iag sympathy by that morality of whose cause he is the advocate, and of whose enemy lie is the victim. A younger brother, the ample estates of his family devolved not upon him, and be was obliged to look for competence to the labours of a profession. Unhappily for him lie chose the army— I say unhappily, because, inspiring him with a soldier s chivalry, it created a too generous credulity in the soldier's honour. In the year 1811 he was quartered with his regi- ment in the Island of feisty, and there he met Miss Breedone, a sister in- law of a brother offi- cer, a Major Mitchell of the artillery, and mar- ried her. She was of the age of tiiteeu— he of four and twenty: never was there an union of more disinterested attachment. She had no fortune, aud lie very little, independent of his profession. Gladly, gentlemen, cou'. d I pause here— gladly would I turn from what Mrs- Filz- gerald is, to what she then was ; but 1 will not throw a mournful interest around her, for '. veil I know, that in the despite of all her errors, there is one amongst us who, in his sorrow's solitude, for many a future year of misery, will turn to that darling though delusive lision, till his tears shut out the universe. lie told me in- deed that she was lovely; but the light that fc- ave the gem its brilliancy'" lias vanished. Gen- uine loveliness consists in virtue— all else is Heeling and perfidious ; it is as the orient dawn that ushers in the tempest— it is as the green and flow ery turf, beneath which the earthquake slumbers. In a few months my client intro- duced her to his family, and here beneath the roof of his sister, Mrs. Kirwan, for some years they lived most happily. You shall hear, as well from the inmates as from the habitual visi- tors, that there never was a fonder, a more doting husband, and that the affection appear- ed to be reciprocal. Four infant babes, the wretched orphans of their living parents bly orphaned by a father's sorrows ther's shame— looked up to them for protection. Poor little inr. v. cent unheeding children, alas! they dream not that a world's scorn shall be their sad inheritance, aud misery their hand- maid from tiie cradle. As their family increas- ed, u separate establishment was considered necessary, and to a most Ana nere, micuimani ...... rable— spirited and gentle— a man, a gentle- iii, and a christian, il l am wrong, I can be ight, you will virtues— lie will be - dou- aud a mo- romantic little cot- tage on the estate of his brother, and the gift ofhis friendship, Mr. Fitzgerald finally remov- ed his household. IIme. gentlemen, in this se- questered residence, blest with the woman whom beloved flic children lie adored, with a sister's society, a brother's counsel, and a character that turned acquaintance into friendship, he en- joyed delights of which humanity I fear is not allowed a permanence. The human mind per- haps cannot imagine a lot of purer or more perfect happiness. It was a scene on which ambition in its laurelled hour might look w ith envy ; compared with which the vulgar glories of the world are vanity ; a spot of such serene and hallowed solitude, that the heart must have been stormy, and the spirit turbid, which its charmed silenced'id not soothe into content- ment. Yet even there kill's emissary entered ; yet even hence the present God was banished ; its streams were poisoned, and its paths laid de- solate; and its blossoms, blooming with celes- tial life, were withered into garlands for the tempter! How shall I describe the hero ofthis triumph? Is there a language that has words of lire to parch whate'er they light on ? Is there a phrase so potently calamitous that its kind- ness freezes and its blessings curse? Rut no: if yon must see him, so to my poor client, upon whose breaking heart he crouches like a die- moil; go to his dead father's sepulchre— the troubled spirit of that early friend w ill shriek his maledictory description ; go to the poor or- phan infant's cradle, without a mother's foot to rock, or a sire's arm to shield it— its world- less cries will pierce you with his character; or hear from me the poor and impotent narration of his practices— hear how as a friend he mur- dered confidence— how as a guest he violated hospitality— how as a soldier he embraced pol- lution— how as a man be rushed to the perpe- tration, not merely of a lawless, but au limits- tural enjoyment over every human bliss, and hoiv sacrament, and then say whether it is in mortal tongue to epitomize those practices into a characteristic epithet! lie is, you know gen- tlemen, an officer of dragoons, aud about twen- ty years ago was in that capacity quartered in tliis county. His own manners, imposing be- yond description, and the habitual hospitality of Ireland to the military, rendered his society universally solicited. He was in every house, and welcomed every where; nor was there any board more bountifully spread for hiin. or any courtesy more warmly extended, than that w hich he received from the family at Oaklands. Old Mr. Fitzgerald was then master of its hereditary mansion, his eldest son just verging upon man- hood, and my client but a schoolboy. The ac- quaintance gradually grew into intimacy, ti: e intimacy ripened into friendship, and the day that saw the regiment depart, was to his gen eroos host a day of grief and tribulation. Year after year of separation follow ed. Capt. Kerr escaped the vicissitudes of climate and the fate of warfare; and w hen after a tedious interval the chances of service sent'him back to Mayo, he found that time had not been indolent His ancient friend was in a better world, his old ac- quaintance in his father's place. and the school- hoy Charles an husband and a parent in the little cottaire of vvhich'yoH have heard already. A family > Miction had estranged Colonel Fitz gerald from hi paternal residence— it washy mere chance, while attending the assizes duty lie recognized in one of the officers of the gar- riaorf the friend with whom his infancy had been familiar. You may easily guess the gra- tification lie experienced— a gratification min- gled with no other regret than that it was so soon to vanish. lie was about to dissipate by foreign travel the melancholy which preyed on hiin, and could not receive his friend with per- sonal hospitality. Surprised and delighted, however, he gave him in a luckless hour a let- ter of courtesy to my client, requesting from him and his brother in law, Mr. kirwan, every attention in their power to bestow . And now, gentlemen, before I introduce him to the scene ofhis criminality, yon shall have even the faint unfinished sketch which lias been given me of his character. Captain Kerr of the Royals is very near sixty ; he is a native of Scotland ; he has been all his life a military officer; in other words, to the advantage of experience and the polish ef travel, he adds what Lord Bacon calls that" left- handed wisdom" with which the thrif- ty genius of the Tweed has been said to fortify her children. Never, I am told, did there end- grate, even from Scotland, a man of more abili- ty , or of more cunning— one whose address was more capable of inspiring confidence, or whose arts were better calculated to lull suspicion: years have given him the caution of age, with- out extinguishing the sensibilities of youth:— nature made him romantic, nativity made him frugal, and Half a century has now matured him into a perfect model of thrifty sentiment and amorous senility! I shall not depict the darker shades with which to me this portraiture has been deformed: if they are true, may God forgive him: his own heart can alone supply the pencil with- a tint black enough to do them justice. !' is first visit to Oaklands was in com pany with a Major Brown, and he at once as- sumed the air ol one rather renewing . than com mencing an acquaintance: the themes of other days were started — the happy scenes in which a parent's image mingled were all spread out before the filial eye, and when, too soon, their visitor departed, he left not behind him the memory of a stranger. He was as one whose death has been untruly rumoured— a long lost and recovered intimate, dear for his own de- serts, and dearer for the memory with which he was associated. Gentlemen, 1 have the stron est reason for believing that even at this instant the embryo of his baseness was engendering— that even then, when his buried friend stood as it were untombed before him in the person of his offspring, the poison seed was sown, within the shade of whose calamitous maturity nothing of humanity could prosper. I cannot toil thro' the romantic cant w ith which the hypocrite be- guiled this credulous aud unconscious family, but the concluding sentence of his visit is too remarkable to be omitted. " it is,' 1 said he, awaking out of a reverie of admiration, " it is all a paradise: there ( pointing to my client), there is Adam— she, ( his future victim), she is Eve— and that, ( turning to Major Browu), that is the devil 1" Perhaps he might have been mure felicitous in the lust exemplification.— This of course seemed but a jest, and raised the laugh that was intended. But it was " poison in jest," it was an " Iago prelude," of which inferior crime could not fancy the conclusion.— Remember it, and you will find that, jocular as it w as, it had its meaning— thatit w as not. as it purported, the jocularity of innocence, but of that murderous and savage nature that prompts the Indian to his odious gambol round the cap- tive he has destined to the sacrifice. The inti- macy thus commenced, was, on the part of the defendant, stiictly cultivated. His visits were frequent— his attentions indefatigable— his ap- parent interest beyond doubt, beyond descrip- tion. You may have heard, my lord, that there is a class of persons who often create their con- sequence in a family by contriving to become master of its secrets. An adept in this art, be- yond all rivalry, was Captain Kerr— not only did he discover all that had reality, but he fab- ricated whatever advanced his purposes, and the confidence he acquired was beyond all sus- picion from the sincerity he assumed and the recollections he excited. Who could doubt the early friend of old Mr. Fitzgerald? Who could doubt the man who writhed in agony at every woe, and gave with bis tears a crocodile attestation to the veracity of his inventions !— From the very outset ofthis most natural though ill- omened introduction, his only object was discord and disunion, & in the accomplishment he was but too successful. How could he be otherwise ? He seized the teuderest passes of the human heart, and ruled them with a worse than wizard despotism. Mrs. Fitzgerald was young and beautiful— her husband affectionate and devoted— he thirsted for the possession of the one— he determined on his enjoyment, even through the perdition of the other The scheme by w hich he effected this— a scheme of more deliberate atrocity perhaps, you never heard ! Parts of it I can ielate, but there are crimes remaining, to which even if our law annexed a name, I could not degrade myself into the pol- lution of alluding. The commencement of his plan was a most ostentatious affection for every branch of the Fitzgerald family. The welfare of my client — his seclusion at Oaklands— the consequent loss of fortune and of fame, were all the subjects of his minute solicitude! It was a pity forsooth that such talents and such virtues should de- fraud the world of their, exercise— he would write to General Hope to advance him— he w ould resign to him his own paymastership— in short, there was no personal, no pecuniary sa- criiice which he w as not eager to make, out of the prodigality of his. friendship! The young, open, warm- hearted Fitzgerald, was caught by this hypocrisy— the sun itself was dark and de- sultory compared with the steady splendour of the modern Fabiictus. It followed. Gentlemen, as a matter of course, that he was allowed an almost unbounded con- fidence in the family. His friendly intercourse with Mrs. Kirwan— bis equally friendly inter- course with Sirs. Fitzgerald, the husband of neither had an idea of misinterpreting. In the mean time the temper of Mrs. Fitzgerald be- came perceptibly embittered the children, about whom she had ever been affectionately solicitous, were now neglected— the ornament- ing of the cottage, a favourite object also, was totally relinquished— nor w as this the worst of it. She became estranged from her husband— peevish to Mrs. Kirwnn— her manner evincing constant agitation, and her mind visibly mad- dened by some powerful though mysterious agency. Of this change, as well he might, Cap- tain Kerr officiously proclaimed himself the dis- coverer— with mournful affectation he obtruded his interference, volunteering the admonitions he had rendered necessary. You can have no idea of the dextrous duplicity with which he acted. To the unfortunate Mis. Fitzgerald he held up the allurements with which vice con- ceals and decorates its deformity— her beauty, her talents, the triumphs which awaited her in the world of London, the injustice of conceal- ment in her present solitude, were the alternate topics of his smooth- tongued iniquity, till at let; : h exciting her vanity, and extinguishing her reason by " spells and drugs and accursed incantations," he juggled away her innocence and her virtue! To the afflicted Mrs. Kirwan he was all affliction, weeping over the propen- sities he affected to discover in his wretched victim, detailing atrocities he had himself ere ated, defaming and degrading the guilty dupe ofhis aitifices, and councellit..: the instant sepa- ration which was to afford him at once impuni- ty and enjoyment. Trusted by ail parties, 1 w as true to none. Every day uialigning Mrs. Fitzgerald to the rest of the family When it came to. her ears, he cajoled her into the belief that it w as quite necessary he should appear her enemy, that their secret love might be the least suspected! Imposing on Mrs. Kim an the fa- bricated tale of Mrs. Fitzgerald's infamy, lie petrified her virtuous mind beyond the possibi- lity of explanation ! With Captain Fitzgerald " he mourned over bis woes, enjoining silence while lie was studiously augmenting them. To Colonel Fitzgerald he wrote letters of confi- dence and commiseration. even while the pen of his guilty correspondence with h. s sister- in- law was wet!! Do I overstate this treachery ? At tend not tome— listen to his own letters— the most conclusive illustrations of his cruelty and his guiit. Thus, Gentlemen, lie writes to Col. Fitzgerald, apprising him of the result of his introduction. " 1 have been much with your family and friends— it is unnecessary for me to say how happy they have made me— I must have been very miserable but for their society 1 have been received like a brother, and owe gratitude for life to every soul of them. They have taught me of what materials an Irishman's heart is made— but alas ! 1 have barely acknow- ledgments to offer." Now judge what those ac knovvledgments were by this extract from his letter to Mis. Fitzgerald :—" Your conduct is so guided by excessive passion, mat it is impos- sible for me to trust you. 1 think the woman you sent meant to betray us both, and nothing | on earth can make : ue think the contrary— but I rest assured 1 shall act with that caution « hich will make me impenetrable. 1 wouli. wish to make yuu really happy, and ifyou cannot be as respectable as you have been, to approach ii us near as possible. I never cease thinking of you and of ybur advantage. Trust but to uie— obey my advice and you will gain your wishes: but you shall implicitly obey me, or I quit you for ever!" ?> Iark again his language to the Colo- nel :—" I must confess the fate of your brother Charles I most dreadfully lament— look to the fate of a man of his age, and so fine a fellow, pinned dow n in this corner of the world, unno- ticed and unknown. Yet what is the use of every quality situated as he is— his regrets are his own, they must be cutting— his prospects with so young and inexperienced a family, they dare hardly be looked to. and to these ifyou add ambition and affections, can you look on with- out pitying a brother ? This earth indeed w ould be an heaven could a good man execute w hat he proposes— the heart of many a good man dare not bare examination, because his actions and resolutions are so much at variance. Bear with me, Tom— the children of Colonel Fitzge- rald are my brothers and sisters, nnd may God so judge me as I feel the same kind of affection for them." Contrast that, Gentlemen, with the following paragraph to the wife of one of those very brothers, the unfortunate Charles, arrang- ing her elopement!! " For the present remain where you are, but pack up all your clothes that you have no present occasion for— you can cer- tainly procure a chest of some kind— if your woman is faithful she can manage the business — let her take that chest to Castlcbar, and let her send it to me; but let her take care that the carrier has no suspicion from whence it comes— stir not one step without my orders— obey me implicitly, unless you tell me you care not for me one pin— in that case manage your own affairs in future, and see what becomes of you !" Thus, Gentlemen, did this Janus- fronted traitor, abus- ing Mrs. Kirwan by fabricated crimes— defam- ing Mrs. Fitzgerald by previous compact— con- fiding in all— extorting from all— and betraying all— on the general credulity aftid the general deception found the accomplishment of his odi- ous purposes! There was but, one feature want ed to make this profligacy peculiar as it was in- famous It had the grand master touebi s of the daemon, the outlines of gigantic towering defor- mity, perfidy, adultery, ingratitude, and irreli- gion, flung in the frightful energy of their com- bination: but it wanted something to make it despicable as well as dreadful; some petty nar- row, grovelling meanness that would dwarf down the terrific magnitude of its crime, and make men scorn w hile they shuddered ; and it wants not this. Only think of him when he was thus trepanning, betraying, and destroying, ac- tually endeavouring to wheedle the family into the settlement of an annuity on his intended prostitute. You shall have it from a witness— you shall have it from his own letter, where he says to Mrs. Fitzgerald. •• where is your annu- ity— 1 dare say you will answer me you are per- fectly indifferent, but believe me I am not "— Oh, no, no, no— the seduction of a mother— the calamity of a husband— the desolation of a household— the utter contempt of morals and religion— the cold- blooded assassination of cha- racter and of happiness, were as nothing com- pared to the expenditure of a shilling— he paus- ed not to consider the ruin he was inflicting, but the expense he was incurring— a prodigal in crime— a miser in remuneration— he brought together the licentiousness of youth and the avarice of age, calculating on the inheritance of her plundered infants to defray the harlotry of their prostituted mother! ! Did you ever hear of turpitude like tb; s ? Did you ever read of such brokerage in iniquity? If there is a sin- gle circumstance to rest upon for consolation, perhaps, however, it is in the exposure of his parsimony. He has shewn where he can be made to feel, and in the very commission of his crime, providentially betrayed the only ascess- ible avenue to his punishment. Gentlemen of the Jury, perhaps some of you are wondering why it is that 1 have so studious- ly abstained from the contemplation of my cli- ent.— It is because 1 cannot think of him with out the most unaffected anguish. It is because possible as it is for me to describe his sufferings, it is not possible for you adequately to conceive them. You have home and wife and children dear to you, and cannot fancy the misery of their deprivation. I might as well ask the young mountain peasant, breathing the wild air ol health and liberty, to feel the iron of the inqui- sition's captive— 1 might as well journey to the convent grate and ask religion's virgin devotee to paint that mother's agony of heart w ho finds her first born dead in her embraces! Their sad- dest visions would be sorrow's mockery— to be comprehended misery must- be felt; and he who feels it most can least describe it. What is the world with its vile pomps and vanities now to my poor client? He sees no world except the idol he has lost— where'er he goes, her image follows him— she fills that gaze else > eut en vacancy— the " highest noon" of fortune now would only deepen the shadow that pursues him — even " Nature's sweet restorer balmy sleep," gives him no restoration— she comes upon his dream as w hen be saw her tiist in beauty's grace and virtue's loveliness— as when she hea. d him breathe his timid passion, and blushed the ans- wer that blest him with its return— he sees her kneel— he hears her vow— religion registers v. hat it scarce could chasten, and there, even these, where paradise reveals itself before him, the visionary world vanishes, and wakes him to the hell of Ins reality. Who can tell the misery of this ? W ho can ever fancy it that has not felt it; Who can fancy his soul riving endurance while his foul tormentor gradually goaded him from love into suspicion, aud from suspicion into madness!- Alas " W hat damned minutes tells lie o'er " Who duats yel doubts— suspects yet strongly " loves." Fancy, ifyou can the cursed process by which his affection was shaken— his fears aroused — his jealousy excited, until at last mistaking ac- cident foi Uesigu. nud shadows lor continuation, he sunk u inter the pressure of the human vain- pyre that crawled " from his father's grave to i clasp him into ruin! Just imagine the cata- logue of petty frauds by which in his own phrase he made himself " impenetrable"-— bow he in- vented— bow he exaggerated— iiov. ho pledged his dupe to secrecy, while he blackened the cha- racter ni' Major Browne with whom he daily as- sociated on terms of intimacy— how he libelled the w ife to the husband, and the husband to the wife— how he wound himself round ti. e very heart of his victim, w ith every embrace coiling a deadlier torture till at last he drove him for refuge into the woods, and almost to suicide for a remedy Now, Gentlemen. let us concede for a moment the veracity ofhis inventions. Sup- pose this woman to be even worse than he re- presented— why should he reveal it to the uncon- scious husband— all was happiness before his interference— all would be happiness still hut for his murderous amity— why should he awake him from his dream of happiness— why should he swindle himself into a reluctant confidence for the atrocious purpore of creating discord.— What family would be safe if every littie ex- ploded calumny was to be revived, and every foi scotten ember to be fanned into conflagration. Is such a character to be tolerated in the com- munity ; but even this insolent defence is want- ing— you will find that self w as his first and last and side consideration— you w ill find that it was he who soured this woman till she actually re- fused to live any longer under the roof with her husband and her children— you will find that in the midst of his counsel, his cant, and his sen- sibility, he himself was the profligate adulterer — you will find that he ruled her with a red of iron— you will find that having once seduced her into crime, he compelled her to submit to de- gradation too loathsome for credulity, if it was not too monstrous for invention— yon will find thathispretence for enforcing thisdisgustingor- deal was a doubt of her previous innocence, which, if aloue, he asserted, could eradicate— you will find her on her knees, w eeping, almost fainting, offering oaths upon oaths to save her- self from the pollution— and you w ill find at last when exhausted nature could no longer strug- gle, the foul adulterer actually perpetrating— but no— the genius of our country rises to- re- buke me— 1 hear her say to me—" Forbear— forbear- I have suffered in the field— I have suffered in the senate — I have seen my hills be- dewed with the blood of my children— my dia- dem in dust— my throne in ruins— but— Nature still reigns upon my plains— the morals of my people are as yet unconquered— forbear— fur- bear— disclose not crimes of which they are un- conscious; reveal not the knowledge, whose consequence isdeath." I will obey the admo- nition — not from my lips shall issue the odious crimes cf this medicinal adulterer— not by my hand shall the drapary be withdrawn that screens this Tiberiati sensuality from the public ' execration! God of Nature! had this been j love, forgetting forms in the pure impetuosity of its passions ; had it been youth, transgressing ; rigiil law and rigid morals ; had it been desire, : mad in its guilt, and guilty even in its madness, I could have dropped a tear over humanity in silence: but, when I see age— powerless, pas- sionless, remorseless, avaricious age, drugging its impotence into the capability of crime, and zesting its enjoyment by the contemplation of misery, my voice is not soothed but stifled in its utterance, and I can only pray for you— fathers, husbands, brothers— that the Almighty may avert this omen from your families! Gentlemen ol the Jury, ifyou feel as I do, you ill rejoice with me that this odious case is near to its con- clusion. You shall have the facts before you — proof of the friendship— proof of the confidence ; proof of the treachery, and eye- witnesses of the ; actual adultery It remains but to enquire what : is the palliation for this abominable turpitude. Is it love?— Love between the tropic and the pole! Why, he has a daughter older than his victim; he has a wife whose grave alone could be the altar of his nuptials; he is of an age when a shroud should be Ids wedding garment. 1 will not insnlt you by so preposterous a sup- position. Will he plead co mi wince in the hus- band ! that fond, affectionate, devoted husband. I dare him io the experiment: an: if he makes it— it is not to his intimates, his friends, or even to the undev iatifig testimony of all his enemies, that I shall refer you for his vindication: but I will call him into Court, and in the altered mien, aud mouldering form, and furrowed cheek ofhis decaying youth, I will bid you read the proofs of his connivance. But gentlemen, lie has not driven me fo con- jecture his palliation; his li artless industry has blown it through the land ;— and w hat do ycu think it isf Oh, would to God I could call the whole female world to its disclosure! Oh, if there he within our island's boundaries one hapless maid who lends her ear to the seducer's j poison-- one hesitating matron whose husband and wI: ose children the vile adulterer devotes to desolation, let them now hear to what the flat- j tery of vice will turn ; let them MV when they j have once levelled the fair fabric of their iiino- ' eence and their virtue, with wlu;; niorscless ; haste their foul destroyer will rush over the ruins! Will you believe it? That he who knelt to this forlorn creature and seethed her vanity, adored her failings, and deified her faults, now justifies the pollution of her person by the de- famation of her character ! Not a single act of indiscretion— not an instance, perhaps, of cul- pable levi; y in her w hole life, which he has not raked together foi the purpose of publication. Unhappy woman, may l eaven have pity on her! Alas! how could she expect that be who sacrificed a friend to his lust, would protect a mistress from his avarice. But will you permit hiin to take shelter under this act of dishonour- able desperation. Can ne expect not even sym- pathy, but countenance from a tribunal of high minded honourable gentlemen f Will you not say that bis thus traduein the poor fallen vic- tim of his artifices; rather aggravates than di- minishes the original ' depravity ! Will you not spurn the monster whose unnatural vice, com- bining sensuality, hypocrisy, and crime, could stoop to save his miserable dross by the defam- ation of liis victim? W ill you iit; i ask him by what title lie holds this inquisition? Is it not by that of an adulterer, ;> traitor, recreant to eve- ry compact between man and jutu., and between earth and heaven.

Duke, nchess of Clarence.— Letters were yesterday received from the Duke of Cla- rence, giving very unfavourable accounts of D anover, as far as relates to domestic com- fort. House rent his oyal Highness re- presents as equally high as in London ; and the expenses in food and raiment in some respects still greater. " Hanoi er," his Roy- al Highness adds, " is no longer the sa ne Hanover it was cefore theenfre of theFrench troops." His Royal Highness concludes l> y declaring, that nothing shall prevent bis return to Ol England. THE DUKE OF YORK.— It is with con- cern we have to announce, that on fond ay afternoon, at the time the Duke of York was in attendance upon the King, at Windsor, sis l is Royal highness w. is in the act o, opening a door of a room i: i the Caslk-, one of his spurs caught the loop at the bottom of his pantaloons, which caused him to tall, \ vh nhe unfortunately bro e his arm. Accounts from Cadiz state tiiat the Vice roy oi Peru, in > rder to preserve a commu- nication with the ports that were occupied I v the Insurgents, hid given notice of his intention to purchase several ships, which were to he armed ; and as Lima had teen tlitewn open to the British trade, he had no cliPiicuky in procuring vessels. Several of t. tem were oi a large tonnage. A letter fro - Charleston, of t'. e fith ult. received via Liverpool, gives the, same de- p'orabl • account of the state of British com- merce as those latterly received from other paits of the United States:— The w t iter says—" We have dene compa- ratively nothing these last two months; there is- no disposing of either woollen or cotton goods, exc. pt by public v endue, and at a loss. The markets are so completely over- stocked, that were not importations to take place these two years,! am assured and firmly believe, that tiiere is a sufficiency of goods in band for the consumption of the country dur- ing that time, but there is not a week elaps- es without bringing fresh cargoes, the great balk of which most either be reshipped, or disposed of by auction at half their value. — To a id to the other difficulties, there is such a scarcity of metallic currency as to ma, te. rially impede what little business is doing. Indeed, the chief part of the coin circulating bore is British, brought over by the s'ioals of emigrants, who stjii continue to flock to these shores. Judging from the number w ho continually arrive here, and the accounts from the ether ports of the United Stales, emigration appears to be greater than at any former period.

Thus they are in every way calculated to produce not only present relief, but the utmost permanent benefit, by gradu- ally restoring the vigour and tone of the digestive organs.

D. Erskine, CHAIRMAN. Leicester, April 12, 1819. To/ the Hosiers of the Town and County of Leicester. / WNTLEMF. N, WE beg leave to address you Upon the Bill now about to be brought into Par- liament for our relief, being fully persuaded " that yoU sincerely regiet our present deplorable situa- tion, and are anxious to have it improved. Much, Gentlemen, rests With yonrsel. es, and we should think Ourselves deficient in duty if we did not point out, that mode of relief, which it appears to Us would, in addition to the clauses already in the Bill, remove every evil of which we haveto complain, and which we are persuaded would rather benefit than injure the fair trader. O'lr object in addressing you is to have a clause inserted in the Bill empowering Manufacturers of Woollen Hosiery to meet once a year, oroftener, to fix a rate of w ages, being the lowest price at which the different qualities of goods shall be made. It is notour wish that the Legislature should fix a rate of wages, neither the workmen, but ire would leave it wholly to the . Manufacturers, as we are confident they would gladly give to their workmen a moderate recommence for their labour, provided they could be secured from being undersold bv others, in con- sequence of giving less than themselves. Being un- dersold in tbe market by seme li use or other thro' reducing the wages of their workmen, is the con stant reason assigned for the general reduction of wages, and nothing can more forcibly illustrate this and point out the necessity of the clause above men- tioned, than the events of the last fortnight. In consequence of a large house reducing the wages of their workmen, the manufacturers in gen era! have felt themselves nnder the necessity of following their example, or discharging their hands. The misery of the Framework- Knitters before this was, alas! almost too great to be borne, how much then is its present aggravation to be lamented, and how desirous must every one be to fix limits to a system fraught with so much evil, and so destruc- tive to the peace and happiness of mankind. Bv adopting the clause we have proposed, yon could at once confer upon your workmen the great- est advantages, without at all injuring yourselves and we. have every reason to suppose that nothing but your approbation is wanting to obtain its enactment by the Legislature; and while e have the satis- faction of knowing that many of you are friendly to the measure, we hope its importance will induce all to join in it. Hoping yen will take the above into your serious consideratioi , we beg leave to subscribe ourselves in belli If of our fellow workmen, Your obedient humble servants, TO TAYLORS. IT is the wish of a Society, ( now held rrt the tignof the Tityhr'is Arms, Chatham IMtester,) that all Journeymen Taylor's. on arriving in this Town, will repair to the above Public How « ^, where they will meet with every EncottragemeM and relief, by bringing with tlienl a Certificate from any honourable Society in the Kingdom.

We do not believe that it will increase the pressure of Poor Rates ; and it may produce a better system in tbe management of Parish business, than has heretofore existed —* The bill has excited but little interest compare* tively with the magnitude of the subject, and passed through Parliament with a faint oppo- sition. The leading features in the proposed altera- tion of the Bankrupt Laws, are se\ oral enact- ments for regulating the act of Bankruptcy:—* the empowering the Commissioners to enquire into the previous Conduct of the Bankrupt, and to grant or withold his certificate, as they may think proper, according to the circumstances of the case. The number of Creditors necessary to render a certificate valid, is to be four- fifths, instead of three fourths ' and the punishment of death for tbe fraudulent concealment of effects, is intended to be abolished. The Bill has been read a second time in the Douse of Commons; and is to be taken into consideration on the 23dinst, The criminal law and the affairs of thebank, have been submitted to Committees; and thus all the most important parts of onr domestic regulations have been brought before Parliament. The Com- mittee apointed to inquire into the affairs of ttie Bank, have made a partial report; recommending a measure which was immediately adopted; being carried through both houses v i; hout the observance ofthe usual forms.— This was to restrain the Bank from issuing gold in fractional payments on the di- vidends, and in payments of notes for £ 1, and £ 2, issued previous to Jan. 1817. Ofthe wisdom of thU measure, there can be no doubt, when it is recol- lected, that £ 5,200,000. have been recently issued in GOLD ; and of this scarcely a sovereign is now to be seen in the country.

THE CHURCHWARDEN. A Churchwarden was sick, and sent for a Leech, Who, hie all his tribe was pompons in speech : " Doctor,'' said he," I've a pain in my chest, Which will not allow me a moment to rest. The pain's in the thorax, that's certain, says Leech, In the pecara or lungs there'll soon be a breach j Do you wheeze, or revoke, or expectorate? Expect n ratf? No, no, that torment is past; I went out of office at Easter- day last." IMPERII L PA R LI A 31 EXT. HQUSE OF COMMONS, Thursday, April 0. ADJOURNMENT FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Mr. Robinson moved, that the House, at its Vising, should adjourn till Wednesday se'n night. Mr. Brougham did not mean to object to the motion, but he wished to offer a few remarks on the cause of their not adjourning at the time which had been first mentioned. A measure had been introduced, which they had been givan to understand ought ! o pass with the least pos- sible loss of time; which measure had been since subjected to an unnecessary, if not high ly prejudicial delay. They were told that they must pass this Bill without observing the usual forms, the observance of which, if not fatal to its utility, would create an obs'a- de to its suc- cessful operation of a most formidable nature. When the Ministers in that House first deter- mined 011 bringing in the Bill to rest. ict the Bank of England from continuing their partial payments in cash, they forgot that a similar measure would be necessary for Ireland. Thus one day was lost. Then a second day was lost oil its being brought in, owing to their col- leagues in the other House being ignorant of its existence. Two days were thus suffered to pass, w hich with one day, which could not be avoided after the Bill was introduced, left the Batik of Iieland exposed to a drain on it for three d. iys altogether, two of which might have been saved. The arrival of the Black Rod here inter- rupted the speech of the Hon. and LeamedGen- tleman. The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod sum- mined the House to the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Assert given by Commission to the Dank of Iieland Further Restriction Bill. On his return, ( he Speaker stated the Royal Assent to have been given i. i the usual form to that a id to several other public Acts. The Speaker called on Mr. Brougham topro- ceed. Mr. Brougham had no further observation to moke, but bad thought it light to take this op- portunity of noticing the delay which had taken place through the course pursued by his Ma- jesty's Ministers. The motion that theHtmse at its rising should adjourn to Wednesday ss'unight was then put a id agreed to. The third reading of the Members' Qualifi- cation Bill was postp ic. i till Friday, vpri 1 twenty- three. ' Ihe. Lord Advocate obtained leave to bring iu a Bill to prevent the sale of Church Patronage in Scotland. He afterwards brought in the BiH, which was read a first and ordered to be read a second time oa the twenty- third of April. ( Concluded from first page.) friend— her husband's friend— her husband's father's friend— her family adviser, who ( piaffed the clip of hospitality, and pledged his host in poison— he who, if you can believe him, found this youngS; inexperienced ere:: urn; tottering on the brink, and under pretence of assisting, dragged her down the precipice ! Will he in the whole host of strangers, with whose familia- rity he defames her, produce one this day vile enough to have followed hisexamale: one out of even the skipping, dancing, wotthless tribe, whose gallantry sunk into ingratitude, whose levity sublimed itself into guilt? No, no ; " im- perfectly civilized" as his countrymen have called us, they cannot deny that there is some- thing generous in our barbarism; that we could not embrace a friend while we were planning- his destruction ; that we could not affect his ta- ble while we were profaning his bed ; tliatwc could not preach morality whilst we were per- petrating crime ; and, above all, that if in the moment of our nature's weakness, when reason sleeps, and passion triumphs, some confiding creature had relied upon our honor, we could not dash her from us in her trial hour, and for our purse's safety turn the cold blooded assas- sin of her character. But, my Lord, I ask you not as a father— not as a husband butas guar- dian ofthe morals of Ibis country, ought this to be a justification of any adulterer? And if so, should it justify an adulterer under such circum- stances ! Has any man a lightto scrutinize the constitution of every female in a family, that he may calculate on the possibility of her seduc- tion ? Wiil you instilthis principle into society? Will you instil this principle into the army ? Will you disseminate such a principle of palli- ation? And wiil you permit it to palliate— what? Tho ruin of au household-— the sacrifice of a friend— the worse than murder of four little children— the most inhuman perfidy to tin host — a companion - a brother in arms ! ? Will you permit it? I stand not upon her innocence— I demand vengeance on his most unnatural vil- lainy. Suppose 1 concede his whole defence to him— suppose she was begrimed and black as hell— w as it for him to take advantage of her turpitude ! lie a friend — a guest— a confidant — a brother soldier! Will you justify him, even in any event in trampling on the rights offriend- ship, of hospitality, ofprofesslonal fraternity, of human nature ? Wiil you convert the man info the monster ? Will you convert the soldier into tho foe, from being the safeguard of the citizen ? Will you so defame the military character ? w ill • you not fear tile leoroachesof departed glory?— Will youiliilg the laurelled Hag of England, scorched with the cannon flame,& crimsoned with the soldier's life blood, the flag of countless fights, and every fight a victory— will you fling it ath- wart the couch of bis accursed harlotry without almost expecting that the field sepulchre Mill heave with life, and the dry bones ofburied ar- mies rise reanimate against the profanation? No, no ; I call upon you by the character of that army not to contaminate its trophies— I call on you in the cause of nature to vindicate its digni- ty.— call on you by your happy hsnics to pro- tect them from profanation— I call on you by the love you bear your little children, not to let this christian Ilerod loose amongst theinnocents. Oh! as you venerate the reputation of your country— as you regard the happiness of your species— as you hope for the mercy of that all- wise andall- protectingGod w ho has sethis ever- lasting cannon against adultery— banish this day by a vindictive verdict the crime and the criminal for ever from amongst us." After a trial. which lasted for seventeen hours, the Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff— Da- mages Fifteen Hundred Pounds— and Sixpence costs. BANKRUPTS FROM SATURDAY'S GAZETTE, April 10( A.
