It is doubtless fresh in the recollection of our readers, that two or three months ago a merchant of St. Jago, of high stand- ata moment's notice to quit the country, and at the same time possession was taken of his property by the ruffian soldiery of the government. Mr. Boylan, naturally wishing to appeal to the generous Captain General, obtained from Sr. Arango, the officer in question, a letter, or something of the kind, that he, Mr. B. was a quiet, peaceable citizen, a highly re- spectable business man, minding his own business, and in no way meddling with the excitement of politics; for doing which Sr. Arango has met the | wretched fate described, at the hands of authorities whose infatuation is fast hurrying on a decided crisis | in the affairs of that unfortunate island.

The names of the prisoners alluded to ed in the Hewatp of the 22d March :— Your common supplications are en‘ttled to | wy consideration. The noble and generous sentiments of | the Spaniards of both worlds, resident im or near Havana, and identified by a uniform and humane desire, cannot be unheard by the authority which governs thfs island in the name and by the willot the greatest and most pious of Queens. These unfortnnates whom you see at the foot of the rcatlold—these erring fanatics whose criminal at- tempts have brought on their heads the rigor and the justice of the laws, shall still live; yes, they shall live ever to bless repentant ly the generous hand of Isabel the Secoud, in woose august name I order and command the | suspension of the terrible and deserved sentence which an | able ond ul tribunal would impose on them. I will | also be, before the Queen, the interpreter of the paiaful accents wrung by grief from the desolate families of the delinquents; and there ix no doubt respecting the echo which they will meet in the royal clemency—always ex- d—always propitious in favor of Cuba. Habaneros—The strong impression wh engraves in your lively and ardent imag’ : known to me: the joy which you experience at th also fills my heart. But kaow that your sensi and judgment, an? more still, your approved loyalty, ex ercixe on this solemn occarion a powerful influence. Without !t— without the certainty which I possess of the repose and security of this important island—without, intine, the moral and physica! power at my dsiposal to guard fearlessly the future —my generous instincts would be suppressed, and the law. the law alone, should govern, because to the counsels of the law only your Governor and Captain listens. (Signed,) Havana, April 6, 1853. VALENTIN CANED9. A correspondent from Puerto Principe, to the | Diario de la\Marina, states that the appearance of | the cholera at twenty-four leagues from that city, had | occasioned great terror among the inhabitants, but | that, providentially, it did not reach the city, buthad taken a contrary route and disappeared. Smallpox | was, however, raging at Puerto Principe. | The Diario of the 5th publishes a letter from its | New York correspondent, Peter Hicks, in which the following paragraph, concerning Senator Soulé, ap- pears:— The diplomatic nomination of Mr. Slidell, as Minister to Central America, leads to the belie’ that Mr. Pierre Soulé will not go as Minister to Madrid, and this explains why the partisdus of this demagegue c:y out against that nomination. It is said that Louisiana “should not furnish two diplomatists. As I have spoken of Mr. Soulc. I should tell you that he is at present ill in Washington, His own family say that he has a bad head, and that the iliness with which he is today aftlicted has tormented him very much on other occasions, Under the influence of this affection, doubtless, Mr. Soulé pronounced the ex travagant speeches of which you are aware, On the same subject the same correspondent says in a letter published on the 24 :-— Many thick that the nomination of Mr. Soulé to repre sent this country at the Court of Spain would be an ex. travagance. For this mission is needed a man of jwig- ment, of weight, and of steady mind, and not an incon- | siderate person like the Senator of Lo uisiana, | Wehave seen a private letter from Havana which states that the political prisoners, pardoned as above, | were two, namely, Gonzalez Alvarez, gentleman o' | some sixty years of age. and Carlos del Ci e men The latter exhibited proofs of great courage and | boldaess in his conduct at the seaffold—the intention of the Captain General having been, in the most cruelly re- fined manner, concealed from the prisoners until the very last moment, The population were much ineensed at | this outrage on humanity, and it was even stated that the Captain General bad received a price for his clemency. This is not very probable, however as the sum necessary to buy over his Excellency would have been far m | than sufficient to corrupt the gaolers to facilitate their escape The same letter states that the Captain General had received information of a landing of negroes at Matanzas, and availing himself of the opportun'ty to prove the sia cerity of his in:linations to put down the traffic, he had imprisoned the merchant owners, Baro, Agnabelle, and Casanas. The vessel was burned, and the negroes sent to | the neighboring plantations. These measures have caused much excitement among the regular slave traders, and a great dea) of diesatisfaction was expressed by them at the deceptive and pusillanimous coaduct of Gen. Canedo. MARKETS. HAVANA April 7, 1853. SUOARS experienced a steady deman¢, and prices con- tinued very firm; whites in demand, and very searce. There was a contract made for 1,500 boxes superior sugar, | at 10%4 ria., 9% and 8 ris, being for first quality whites, | second quality whites, and yellows. We place our gene- ral quotations as follows.—Whites, 8 to 9 ris.: choice floretes, 10 to 1034 rla.; yellows, 644 to 644 rls.; fine yel- lows, 6% to 7% rls.; superior floretes, 74; to 73 rls; browns, §34 to 6 ris.; Cueuruchos, 4% to 53¢ rls.

The sales of fish were conside- rable, say about 960 casks and drums. and 350 boxes cod from the United States, mostly English, at $4, $3 75, and $3 50; 150 casks hake, at $4, rf 25, and $3 50, and a car- fo per Violet, from Halifax, at $4 for cod, and $3 50 for addock, Lard is in fair supply, and keeps up in price The transactions in riee comprised 200 casks, at 11% rls.. 100 casks at 12 rls.. 120 casks damaged at 9 rls., 50 casks casks at 117, and 50 casks at 1234 rls.; be- sides wirich, 2,000 bags Brazil (equal to 400 casks) real ized 1034 rls., being very good, and Manila rice has been retailing at from 1 to 544 rl4., being inferior.

We translate from La Cronica of the 12th the following article on the subject of the recent appoint- ment of Mr. Soulé as Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Spain :— The election of Mr. Pierre Soulé as United States in Madrid is the great subject of the day. Un its being known that President Pierce had dednitely made this nomination, the first movement of the funds Minister of the was one of contraction, and there were persona who bo lieved in the immediate fall not only of fancy «tucks and f the Mivsiesippt and Wabash Canal paper hat of th J bond: themselyes.

Whale oil is lower, | stock with of the edifice of peace sion of Mr. Soule from the territory of ‘th _ ia - ais re they sa) ‘triots, the opinion was and is una " | Siti one voice, that the government of her Majesty woul not act in conformity with her self respect if she recog nised the credentials of the new representative o! the United states. In the midst of this whirlwind of opinion, we alone have been able to regulate our ideas so as to expose the | following abstract ot them : We think that the professed and announced object of Mr. Soulé’s mission—namely, the purehase or transfer of sovereignty of the island of Cuba—is a shadow; that the fears engendered by the an- | pouncement of the mission are so many otaer shadows; that the purpose which inspired this nomination is a ve: ritable shadow, even though the form of a scarecrow might be added to it; that Mr. Soulé himself, notwith. standing the history of his persecutions in Europe, which | indicate something of reality in his person, and notwith- standing the brilliant antecedents of his public life in the United States, is also a fantastic ghost in the imaginary mission whieh takes him to Madrid. Were a man expressly sought to ruin any negotiation between Spain and the United States, no ‘one could be found more suited to the purpose than the French Sena- tor for Louisiana. His contact with our goverament on whatever subject of sympa‘hy or affinity of national interests, would be totally impossible. Her Majesty's government would not touch him—no, not even with a air o! pincers, He would meet nothing more than an intangible shadow, having an antipathy for himself in the age of positive things. One means alone might re main to Mr. Soule to permit him to hold in Madrid a po- sition little worthy of the representative of a respecta- ble government and a powerful nation, and that means would be the co operation or the sympathy which he might derive from a portion ef the foreign diplomatic corps residing at the court of Spain. But constituted as that bedy now is, it appears to us impossible that Mr. Soule could fail to be regarded ¥” it as @ parasite branch—eonsidering the relations of Europe with Ame- risa—unless that Mr Soulé should make an explicit re- tractotion of his opinions of the Monroe doctrine, and of the principles of Young America, ‘The Cretica xives, in continuation, extracts from seve- ral of Mr. Soule’s speeches in the last and previous ses- sion of Congress, to exhibit his sentiments in relation to Cuba and the Spanish government, consequence Theatrical and Musical.

The house was literally crammed with his admirers. The New Orleans Delta of the 8th inst. says:— Were we to enumerate the several pieces which Gotte- chalk performed, and attempt to depict the various emo- tions which each of them created, our columns would be too rmall. We have already said the enthusiasm of the audience increased as the pianist progressed. The frag ment of the symphony of the “!

THE NOTORIOUS CHAUNCEY LARKIN AGAIN UNDER ARREST FOR SWINDLING. This notorious swindler, named Chauneey Larkin, but recently passing under the name of Col. Fillmore, of Warhington, D. C., hay ovce more come under the cogni- vance of the Police authorities, on a charge of obtaining $250 from James Urquhart, book-keeper in the employ of Mr, William H. Webb, shipbuilder, on a fictitious check, made by Larkin, on the City Bank, signing the name of M. C. Fillmore, It appears from the facts in the case, as exhibited by affidavits before Justice Welsh, one of our intelligent and persevering magistrates, that on Tuesday last Larkin called at the ship-yard of Mr. Webb, and conversed freely with the proprietor, in the presence of the book-keeper, jn the office, about the building of a yacht, introducing himself to Mr. Webb as Col. Fillmore, of Washington. In the absence of Mr. Webb, Larkin called again in the af- ternoon, end in the office met Mr. Christian Metzar, the foreman of the yard. ‘he book-keeper was also present. In the course of conversation with the foreman, Larkin uulled out a check for $10,000 on the City Bunk, which 65 signed M. C. Fillmore in their presence, remarking, at the same time, that he iuendes, to remove his deposit from the tity Bank to some more convenient bank up town, as he boarded at the Union Place Hotel, and wishes to have the bank nearer at hand. In the course of their conversation Larkin wanted to know what constituted a gentleman at the North, which caused a smile from those present. Larkin then offered the $10,000 check to the bookkeeper, and asked him if he would give him a re- ceipt for it. Mr Urqubart declined doing so; then, said Larkin, “As it is after banking hours, and I want some smali change, draw we out a check for $250 on the City Bank, and I'll sign it.” The ee believing him to be a gentleman, and as Mf. Webb anpesred to be acquainted with him, wrote out the following, which Larkin signed M. C. Fillmore:— © coeeccoccocoecoceoococoes] ° ° ° $250. New York, April 12, 1853. ° ° ‘The City Bavk please pay W. H. Webb, 0 © or bearer, two hundred and firty dollars. ° ° C. FILLMORE. ° ° ° Soceoeco osc o CcCOeoOOC ODOC OOS Now, said Larkin, after signing the name to the check, giving a grand flourish with the pen, exclaimed, ‘Thera, ‘ou must cash that for me, as the banks are closed ; it is jut a small matter.”? Mr. Urquhart replied that he was not authorized by Mr. Webb to cash any checks ; but as e he appeared to bea gentleman, and told the truth, woul therefore take itupon his responsibility, and Larkin the money. “There need be no fear,” said Li kin,” “for I'll stand between you and Mr. Webb, and make that all right.” The money was then paid to Lar- kin, who left the office, saying he would be around again in the morning. The check was sent to the bank, and ronounced to be a swindle. It is needless to say that Tania did not return to the orice according to his pro- mise. + As soon as the swindle was discovered, the bookkeeper went forthwith to Justice Welsh and entered his com- plaint, setting forth the facts. A warrant was issued for Larkin’s arrest, and placed in the hands of officer Samuel Brower; and after considerable search ‘throughout the ‘city, the accased was found boarding with his mistress, at the St. Denis Hotel, corner of Broadway and Eleventh street. Here the effieer had considerable trouble in effecting the ar- rest, as Larkin was not very willing to be taken into custody. He drew a knife on the officer, and with much difficulty he was secured, conveyed to the court, and committed by the magistrate. In addition to the above, a charge of stealing a horse, valued ut $150, the property of Conklin Carl, livery stable keeper, Brooklyn, was pre- ferred yesterday. In this case it seems he went to the stable of Mr. Carl on the 6th instant, and represented that he wished to purchase a horse. The one ia question was shown, ard he rode him out for trial. On returning him to the stable, Larkin remarked that he did not think the animal would’suit, as he stumbled some. The next day Larkin again appeared, and said he woul! make another trial with the horse, and perhaps he would not stumble again. Accordingly the horse was entrusted to him for another trial; but he did not return, and it was not untila week afterwards the horse was found at the livery stable of John Gore, Ne. 82 Mercer street, New York, where the horse had been stabled for five days. Mr. Carl obtained the horse; and now that Larkin is arrested, he is identified to be the same man to whom the horse was entrusted, under the pretence of wishing to make a purchase. In the matter of the two charges the magistrate held Larkin to bail in the sum of $1,000 on the awindle of procuring the $250, and on the larceny of stealing the horse, $500—making $1,500 bail in the two cases, which amount it is saidiit will be impos- sible for him to procure, and he was therefore committed to prison for trial. Larkin treats the whole afair with perfect noncha- lance, as the going back toa State prison appears to him as merely returning to his home after the absence of afew months. The prisoner is genteel looking man, about thirty-six years of age, rather tall and slender made, quick movements dark’ complexion, sharp, black large, full nose, and takes§snuff profusely—long. jet glossy hair, thin whiskers on the chin, and a small moustache; wears a glazed cap, and in most all his false representations calls himself’ a military or nat officer. Latterly he has assumed the names of Col. M C. Fillmore, Col. Polk and Mr. Sumner. In the year 1837, Larkin was first introduced to the police by officer Gilbert F. Hayes, who arrested him on charges of falsely representing himself as a naval officer, and, under that disguise, procuring property from vari ous store keepers in this city, The tailors were some of the principal sufferers. The Court, on his conviction, sent him to the State prison at Sing Sing for a term of years, but no sooner was he out he continued the same process of swindling, until he was again sent to Prison to serve out another ferm of years. The last time, was sent from Brooklyn, where he represented him: relf to be Col. Polk, and gave checks to that effect to store keepers, for jewelry purchased. He was arrested on that charge at a livery stable in Cionby street, by the Fourteenth ward police, This was about six years ago, during which time he has’been caught in Boston and serv. ed out a term of years in the Massachusetts Statetprison for a similar offence. ; After a lapse of rix or seven years, he now returns to New York; and on his way to this city it seems he visit- ed a place called Berlin, in Connectieut. He there repre- sented himeelf to be the son of Charles Chapman, of Hirt- ford, and obtained from a citizen the sum of seventy-five dollars on a fa check. Larkin says be has been but three weeks in New York, and during that time he has visited nearly all the hotels; has been inthe City Hall, and there remained while an- other gentleman took his wife into the Chief's office; and es Dlack lack mental complaint.

Quenec, April 1, 1853, ” The proceedings in the Legislative Council yesterday, on | a motion for the second rending of a bill granting a di- yoree, were of an extraordinary ‘and novel description, not only with reference to its purport and object, but becaure similar enactments in this province have hitherto been based upon the judgment of # court of justice and the evidence which had been there adduced. The history of this unfortunate affair is to be found in the preamble to the bill itself, which is entitled “ An Act for the Relief of William Henry Beresford,” late a Captain in Her Majesty’s Rifle Brigade, who, it appears, was married in July, 1850, to Emma Catherine Lawrence, and who lived together as man and wife until May, 1851—that unhappy differences, caused by great violence of temper and un controllable bursts of passion on the part of the said Emma, during which his life was endangered, rendered it impossible for them to continue to reside together, and that it was agreed between them to live separate, in July, 1861, at which time she left his’ abode with her brother, to return to Halifax, in Nova Scotia—that in the early part of last summer the said William Henry Beresford had reason to believe bis wife had carried on an unlawful familiarity and criminal intercourse with Daniel Gallagher, a servant in his employ previous to the separa. tion referred to—that while he was taking the necessary steps to ratisfy himself of her guilt, and obtain proof thereof, at Rochester, in the State of New York, near which she resided with her brother, as he had been led to believe, she disappeared from her residence, and was traced to that city, where she and said Gallagher were living as man and wife, whither she had gone to be de- livered of a child—that after being discovered she re- urned to her former residence, and in August last was delivered of another child, which died on the 30th of January last. The preamble goes on to state that, owing to Gallagher residing out of the province, the said William Henry Beresford has been unable to institute legal proceedings, and he bumbly prays that the said marriage might be dissolved, so as to enable him to marry again, and that he might haye such other relief as should be thought fit. It then enacte—proofs of the said above recited facts having been adduced—‘‘that the said marriage between the said William Henry Beresford and the said Emma Catherine Lawrence, his wife, shall be hencefortl: null and yoid, and the same is hereby declared, adjudged, and enacted to be null and void, toall intents and purposes | whatever.’ The second section makes it lawful for the parties to contract matrimony with any other persons with whom either of them might lawfully marry in case | the said marriage had not been solemnived, and the re. maining section declares the igsue of any euch marriage | to be legitimate. | ‘The first witness examined wae the High Bailiff of the | | city of Hamilton, who testified that he served a copy of the bill and order annexed on Emma Catharine, wife of | Captain Beresford, on the 22d March last—being anabl» to do 40 personally—by leaving it with Daniel Gallagher, | who was living with that lady in a sqjall house about | two miles from Rochester, in theState of New York; that | he had known her since August, 1861, when sbe resided at Hamilton, in Upper Canada; that he was at the said house on the Ist of February, at the time of the funeral of her infant child, and was satisfied that it was her place of residence ; that Gallagher was the coachman of Capt. Beresford, and was driving her ina carriage on a Sunday, on which occasion he had a peace warrant to a: rest her; her house, he said, had been pointed out as the dwelling of Mrs, Beresford by a farmer of the name of Leggett, who lived in the immediate neighborhood: he had understood in August, 1861, that Mrs. Beresford had separated from her husband; had been told so by the Captain himeelf, and it was, besides, a subject of general notoriety; Gallagher had previously left Hamilton, but returned anterior to the separation taking plac bet ween the parties ; his object in attending the funeral of the child was to rot oat Mrs. Beresford to a person who | accompanied hii a | Robert Leggett was then sworn, who testified that he | is a farmer, living in Monroe county, in the State of New | H | | York; that his family was intimate with Mra. Beresford, she having eslled upon them soon after her arrival in the neighborhood, and that he had known her since August, 1851; she stated that she was the wife of Capt. Beresford; that he resided about two miles from Rochester; and that the house in which she resided is eighteen feet by twenty- four, anda story and a half high; ® young man of the | name of Daniel Gallagher had resided with her since her arrival, in 1861, and there was no other person an inmate of the bouse during that period to his know- | ledge except her brother, fiom New York, who | was on a visit to her for two or three months; | he knew the last witness, and had showed him Mrs. Beresford’s house about the first of February last, and who had visited his house recently, wien he was at Ro- | hester, about a week since; the intimacy between that | ady and his family had continued uninterrupted till July ast, when she discontinued her visits; it was of auch a nature as to enable him to know who were the inmates of her bouse, which was in the rear of, and not more than forty feet from his; the last time he ssw Gallagher in and about the premises was the 2ist or 224 March: he | was there the day the papers were delivered by the High Bailiff, and witness was positive he resided with Mrs. at that time, who was not known by any other name than that of Mra. Beresford; that lady had refused to receive | visits since August Inst; a number of ladies who called | had been refused udmittance—two, however, have got in accidentally; the house was kept almost eonstantly closed; this proceeding was attributed to Mrs. B. having had a | child, s report of which been currently circulated: Captain Beresford had not been about Rechester to his | knowledge, and he did not know him. | After the examication of this witness was concluded, | and two or three bills were reported which had been sent | up by the House of Assembly, the Council adjourned till | this afternoon the further consideration of the bill, being made the first among the orders of the day. The witnesses were examined at the bar, near which was seated Mr. Stuart, a member of the Aseembly, who | was counsel in this case on behalf of Captain Beresford, who wrote down such questions as he deemed it expe dient to ask. These were sent up to the Assistant Clerk, who repeated them to the witness, and the Law Clerk of the House wrote down the replies. I should say there was not more than fifteen or sixteen inembers present at any one time; and, before the Council adjourned, this number had dwindled down to five or six. After the coun- sel had finished putting questions to a witness, others, suggested by members, were submitted through the Ay: sistant Cler! April 2, 1853, The Legislative Council yesterday, after transactiog some routine business, proceeded to the wecond reading of the bill for the relief of William Henry Beresford, when W. Beek, Fsq., attorney at law, residing in the city of Rochester, was examined at the bar of that body. He knew Mrs. Beresford, having seen her two or three timos at his office; Charles Clarke, Exq., of that city is her agent, to which gentleman the witness had paid over three-quarters’ allowance from her husband, which, I un- serreand, $1,200 per annum, but which was discon- tinued. He stated that he had been requested to serve a no- tice of the bill and order of the slative Council upon Mrs. Beresford, and was requested by Mr. Clarke to serve iton Gallagher, who was her agent. A bailiff belonging | to Rechester did this, but was unable to see Mrs. Bores- ford, who, be had no doubt, was in her bedroom, the door of which was locked; he therefore handed them to Gal- lagher, who, immediately after he left the house, threw them into the street. That officer deposed that any at- tempt to nerve the papers personally cn Mrs. Beresford would have led toa breach of the peace. The witness stated that very laudable exertions had been made by the Rev. Dr. Van Ingin, the rector of Grace Chureh, at Rochester—whose knowledge of her arose from the circum. stance of being called upon in February last to bury her child—to induce her to abandon her present unhappy mode of life Capt. Beresford’s counsel having’established the service of the bili and aie thin 2 order in the best manner practicable, the Legislative Council adjourned, making the second reading of the bill the first on the orders of the day for Monday, when Mrs. Lettice H. Dowd, M. D. of Mount Hope avenue, Rochester, who was present witi Mrs. Beresford during’ her confinement, in August last, anda housekeeper of Capt. Beresford, who are in attend: ance, will be examined in support of the facts alleged in the preamble. T have made inquiry as to this lady, and understand that sheia under thirty years of age, rathor handsome and fascinating in her ‘manner. She is of humble origia, however. Capt. Beresford belongs to one of the most aristocratic families in Ireland, and is eloely allied with the highest dignitaries of the Church establishment in that country. Apri 5, 1853. The Beresford Relief bill again came up for reconsidera- tion yesterday afternoon, but the examination of the re- maining witnesses was deferred till to-day, the sitting being announced in the delivery of the opinion of the Speaker, as to the service of the notice of the House, and Beresford’s counsel in support of the bill oy ted, in reply to a iy put by one of the members, that gentlemen who, like himself, were op- posed to the passage of the bill, should confine them. selves to the fact of the service of the notice of the House upon Mrs, Beresford; and if they were satistied that it had been effected, they should not place any obstacles in | the way of the progress of the Dill. He apprehended, be said, that there was no difficulty ia coming to a cone! clusicn, as Mrs. Beresford had ample information of the proceedings which had been instituted to enable her to communicate with her friends, and to permit them to | offer any opposition, if they thought proper. It is a prin- ciple in law that if @ party avoided the personal service of a writ, and by any act of his it could not be effected, it is to be presumed it has been made nad performed Until the last witness was examined the Speaker anid, he did not think there had been a personal service, the High Bailiff not having followed up the attempt to eifect It. But the witness alluded to proved that he called upon Mr, Clarke, who had charge of har interests, from whom he learnt that Mra, Berestord had had information of the proceedings for a divorce communicated to her from Quebec, and that she was in the house of Dr. Van Ingin when the former called there, and who Clarke knew at the time war in posession of the bill, but who had ad- vised that lady not to permit the servite to be made, for which purpose ahe kept horaelf concealed, and conse- geet the witness was prevented from serving it. Un- ler these circumstances he would take upon himself to assert that the verviee had been made in the best way that was possible, He then showed that ample time had elapsed since & | adduced to ence. gentleman rence in 1850, and the conduct on her pa complained took place at Hamilton, where he had taker up his residence permanently. About six months after marriage, circumstances occurred which created in hia mind a sense of injury, from a quarter from which he could least have expected it, and suspicion was aroused that one of bis domestics was in habits of intimacy with his wife. ‘These he corcealed within his own bosom untiP it became imperative upon him to ascertain whether hig suspicions were well founded or not. It was not only that iniay had been thus inflicted but the life of Capt. Beres- ford bad been then Yabo by the course whieh his lady adopted, and which, it would appear in evidence, was of a nature to render existence intolerable. In this emer- gency he adopteo the most prudent course, and consulted’ with a clergyman of the Episcopal Church, to whieh he belonged, and subsequently applied to his law adviser. The advice he received was, to dismiss the servant from his service, which he promptly followed. Mrs. Beresford,; immediately upon learning that such was his intention, ve way toa violent burst of passion, and threatened to- a feave ber home Capt. Beresford, however, gersisted, and. the rervant left the house, but wae followed by the lady: in question, who, on her return, resorted to acts of vio lence of a serious nature towards ber husband, She st- tempted to obtain possession of a gun which was in Gal- lagher’s apartment, and being diss ppointed in this, seized whatever article was within her . She threw a tumbler at him, and with a silver candlestick laid open his. head to an extent which endangered his life. He should not, he said, enter into any further detail, as evidence would be adduced to that elfect, but would proceed with that portion of the case connected with the revidence of” Mrs. B. in the United States. ‘As.soon as the events had occurred to which he al- luded, Captain Beresford thought the best course to be- pursued was to inform her brother—but with whom he was not ‘acquainted—who met his sister at Hamilton, when she left the residence of Captain Beresford and Cae ceeded to Rochester. Until this time that gentleman no proof of any act of infidelity on the part of his wife, and after their separation was desirous of affording her the means of subsisting in arespectable manner, and the allowance he made was paid through Mr. Beek, who had testified to that effect. While Mrs. Beresford was residing at Rochester, infor. - mation was conveyed to Captain Beresford that occur- rences were taking place where his wife had fixed her do- micil, near the sity, which required his immediate atten- tion, who then ascertained that Gallagher was living with her ina Fmall house, and that there were no other inmates. and where they had resided ever since she left: Hamilton. It would be proved, he said, that Captain Be- resford never left Toronto subsequent to the separation taking place, during, the twelve months whieh preceded the bitth of the child, in August, 1852; and it would alsa be in proof that, from the time of Mrs. Beresford’s arrival | at Rochester, Gallagher was residing with her, and de- scribing himself ax her half brother It would thus be | apparent that Captain Beresford was imperatively called upon to pursue the course he had adopted on the present occasion to prevent an illegitimate child being imposed. upon him as his offspring, fn furtberance of which object ire. Beresford had gore to # clergyman at Rochester and had the child registered as that of Captain Beresford, and which, of itself, was sufficient to warrant his coming for- ward as he had done. The learned counsel said he should go further, and would produce a female practitioner im the neighborhood of Rochester, who was a person of high respectability and had a diploma, who attended Mrs. B during her confinement, upon the application of Gallagher. who tock her to the house ‘she imfabited by a route which was calculated to render it difficult, as ho suppored. for her to determine its locality. Gallagher,, it would be proved, was present uring her confinement. Conversations had taken place between Mrs. resford and Mrs Doud, the practitioner alluded to. which he should not detail. It was sufficient to state that the facts she would disclose would establish without doubt that that lady had been delivered .of a -ehild in August last, that every attempt had been made at concealment, and, finally, that she had attempted to pass it off as that of Captain Reresford’s. ‘After reading a letter from her brother to that gentle- man. Mr Stuart went into a leogthened argument to establish what is the law of England relative to divorce, and enumerated the contrary and opposite decisions of various Roman Catholic councils on the subject, and cone tended that, although those members of the Couacil be- longing to that Church might regard marriage as sacra- ment, which only the Pope can annul, yet the parties in this case, who are Protestavts. did not so regard it, and were entitled to be treated in accordance with the laws of England and those in existence im the British colonies. He was about to call the High Constable of Hamilton in proof of what occurred at that place, when &@ motion was made to adjourn and the remaining testi- mony, with reference to the merits of the bill, will be lay. The §; rete other members of the Legi+lative Coun- oil are French Canadians, and will probably oppose the ultimate passage of the bill from religious seruples, in the same manner as they protested against the repeal of the usury laws, considering the right which every man pos- sesses to do what he pleases with his own as being con- | trary to Scripture, and in opposition to the rules of the Church. The High Bailiff of Hamilton, who, it will be recollected, had been previously examined as to the service of no.i was again called to the bar on Tuesday, and textifed that in May, 1851, he was Chief Constable of the city of Hamil- ton, where Captain and Mrs Beresford at that time resid- ed as man and wif+. that in consequence of an application which had been made by that gentleman, he was directed by the Pe ‘Mogivtrate to repair to his residence, ag it was to be apprehended that Mrs. Beresford ‘and Daniel Gallagher were about to leave the place, to pre- vent which tke witness was directed to remain in the house all uight. On arriving there a room wi priated for his reception which had been occ that individu vious to his Beresford’s » During the ani freqe ly heard noises, and was informed by that gentleman that: they were occasioned by his wife, who threw tumblers or any other missive within her reach at hi that [t was impossible toavoid her attacks, as she wor follow him when he retired. The witness saw Mrs, Beres- ford repeatedly during the evening, who appeared to be in a violent passion. On one occa-ion he saw her strike her husband with a heavy candles ick, giving him three blows before the deponent cvuld interfere, who, however, averted the fourth, by which his own head was cut severely, and which bled profusely. The officer then forced her into # room and locked her in. During these exciting scenes Captain Beresford, he stated, was per- fectly passive, and endeavored to get away from the in- furiated woman. Mrs. Beresford was subsequently re- leased from her confinement, and wanted the officer to take her to jail. He said sbe evidently had been drinking, but he refused to arrest her for that purpose, and her outrageous conduct was renewed.
