On Friday, the 2911 i Heceinher, an action of divorce, at the instance of Lord Erskine against Lady Erskine, his wife, far adultery, alleged to have been co ttttt lined in Eng land, was finally disposed of by the Commissary Conti of Edinburgh. In ileteneC against this action, Lady Erskine had pleaded that she was not ainenahl:• t r the jurisdiction, because she had never been in Scotland but for a few hours when she was married to the putsnet• at Gretna,and because the true and proper domicile of both parties had, since their marriage as well as for many years before, been exclusively in England, where alone they had a fixed residence, home, and establishment, although Lord Er- Skille illindell was by hints a Scotsman, and hail been on a visit in Scotland a short time previous to the date of his action. Her Ladyship also positively denied the truth of the accusation. Upon the other hand, Lord Erskine, in his condescen sion, alleged that lie had resided in Edinburgh for the space of forty days previous to the date of the action, which residence, hr contended, was by law a sufficient domicile ; but lie did not deity that his iternianctit resi dence and establishment, and the home of both patties, were in England, where Lady Erskine had always re mained dining her roves titre. At the close of the debate, Lord Erskine, in a lodged by Il i iii spontaneously staled that Lady Eiskine had for some time been nude' eestraiiit while lie was iu Scotland; but no such ciocilinstance hail hers alleged in founded upon by her. His Lordship did slot, however, deny in any respect Lady Erskitie's allegations, that, as at the date of the acuuu, the true and proper domicile of both parties, by the law of which the succession to the personal estate of either would have been governed, iu Cave Or dying intestate, was ill Ellg.lllld : and, finding her objectiun to the jutisdicnonot the grounds to be seriously 9 aintanted, ilis I,ol.llSilill, ill his minute, a proprio molts, stated that he should abandon this suit, and in/intone a new one in the English Cow:win ial C.IIIIt. Lady Erskine was, thereto. c, of consent, assuilzied with expenses. c , ' ' ;. FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BANKRUPTCIES ENLARGED. J. Varey.

Mr. KEAN.—( Fro,» an American Paper.) How doctors will (liar ! One says Kean is all but perfection ; another thinks hin► inimitably great with certain exceptions; while another believes Maywood to be his nearest equal, and Pritchard superior, Wallack more so, Cooper and Hodgkinson still further beyond, and Cooke beyond compari son. On this subject friendship is delicate. The managers deserve respect, and more than thanks fur their exertions, and ought to have full houses. Mr. Kean ranks first in England. We are curious to see their nonpareil. But Heaven mend our taste or their judgment, or accommodate theatrical fashions to each other better. A player, at an hundred pounds a night, ought to be worth seeing. I went to view my old favourite, Richard, which I had seen with increased interest, from Hodgkinson down to the present day. I looked for the person—the voice, the attitude of the hardy warrior; the occasional dignity—the manly port—the firm and elevated demeanour of the Royal commander ; the grave re flection—the deliberate resolve—the cool delivery, of a studied, ertful line of conduct ; a natural, consistent, and forcible delineation of character; and fimd—all but my eye and ear—completely satisfied and delighted. Nit. ADISIRAItf. The Court of Cassation at Paris has rejected the appeal of young Pestrel, aged 17, who was checked in his high► career of crime, namely, the attempt to poison his father, mother, and several others, thirteen in number, who had been invited to a family party. The sentence of the Court of Assizes at Rouen, condemned him to suffer the death of a parricide, has been confirmed. Another monster, Stephen Lelievre, alias Cheva lier, has also appealed against sentence of death, passaxl upon him by the Court at Lyons. This criminal was found guilty of having poisoned his two wives, drowning his child, stealing another child to pass for that he had murdered, and of com mitting sixteen forgeries. The appeal was rejected, and the miler for his execution made out. The proceedings against Lilly and Wood, who received sentence of death at the late Adnairalzy Sessims, liur being parties in the plundering of the cargo of the Mary, Williams, from Limerick to London, stranded on the GJodwin Sands iu Decem ber, 1818, were commenced and carried on under the direction of the committee fur managing the afFairs of Lloyd's, who are determined not to suffer such disgraceful depredations on vessels in distress to be eoulmitted with impunity. The shipping belonging to Leith increased 1,767 tons last year, and has been the means of employing 150 additional seamen. CAUTION TO BANKERS.—By 55 G. 111. cap. 185, sec. 16, every banker re-issuing promissory notes, after three years from their respective dates, is subject to a penalty ofsol. for each note so issued, provided the said note bears date prior to the :31st of August, 1815, and likewise the old stamp duty. Several bankers have reeently been prosecuted under this act, and have paid very heavy penalties fot the offence. On Monday afternoon, the Earl of Harrowby, on his entering into town in his travelling carriage from Bath, proceeded down Constitution-hill to the Earl of Liverpool's house in Privy Gardens, where his Lordship sat down to dinner,when his valet returned hi the carriage towards his Lordship's house in Grosvenor-square. In going out of Piccadilly into Berkeley-street, Mr. Butler, the valet, observed two Men suddenly separate flout several others in Picca dilly, and followed the carriage down Berkeley-street. Suspecting their design, he watched them closely through the glass in the hind part of the carriage, when he perceived one of them in the act of cutting the trunk front behind: he immediately threw open the door, jumped down, and seized the know by the collar, whom he conducted back to the Glou cester Coffee-house, where he surrendered hint to a police officer, his companion having fled. On Mr. Butler returning to the carriage, he 100:01 one of the straps of the trunk cut oil, and the other nearly severed. A circumstance of a singular nature occurred nt the new Chapel, in Curr's Lane, Birmingham, on Sunday evening, the 31st ult. The Rev. Mr. James, and a congregation of upwards of t 2,009 persons, were plunged in total darkness, the connecting pipe of the gas works being cut off; it is supposad, by some malicious persons. The screams of fcmalis and children, and the stench of the gas, threatened sutliwation and destruction, and the alarm and anxiety to get out of the Chapel were extreme.— Many persons soil red, but none very severely. It is much to be desired that the perpetrators may be discovered and punished.
