Oo (lift 1st of February an action, in which the Conntess d'Alleyrac was the pUiniiH, atul Lord WiJIoughhy d'Eres by, lire Hereditary Grand Chamberlnin of England, the defendant, was brought before the Court of Queen's Bench, Lor.dop. In 1847 lUe Conntess d'Alleyrao was tlie wife of an officer of high podtion and connections "in France.. Ilor husband was traveling, "he formed the acquaintance Of lhedefendaut, and in 1840 she h-fi her husband and came to Eng land to live with Lord Willougliby d'Erbe?>v as Iris wife. She was visited by many of his friends, and for rnauy years lived bappilv with him. Shu (elided him very aflVcdntialely during a long illness, and on his recovery, they removed from town to Cacti Lodge. Twickenham, which wo* partly purchased by the Countess's money and ftirni-hed at her expense. They had one daughter, i\)ro was brought up in ignorance of the fact thai her father and mother wore not man and wifo. Up to 1804, when iho Countess went over to Paris to bring her daughter to London, no great ditto renee had arisen between herself and Lord W'lloughby, except that occasioned bv soine scandal ahnut Lord WilloughbyV behaviour to oneof the maids; but on the Countess's teturn she was told by nn Agent of Lord Willoughby that she mn?t give op possession of Caen Lodge, which she considered as her * property. She refused, and whs then waited on bv a friend of his lordship, who negotiated h separation on the understanding that an allowance of ?1200 a year, and ?4000 down should be made loathe Coittess, togelliVr with an adequate provision for her daughter. These teima were not constJeied unreasonable, as Lord Willoughby has an income of ?70,000 or ?80.000 a year. The Connies* then left Caen Lodge, the furniture of which was sold, and renl* ized ?8000. None of this money was given to her, and of the promised al !o? anco shw received only ?300. She never saw Lord Willoughby after her rc*urn from Paris, and her maid was soon after instilled mistress of Caen Lodge. The action was brought to recover the money realized by the sale of lite furniture. The key to Lord Willoughby'a conduct was to Ire found ill the fact that the bulk of the property be inherit ad from hi? father was left bim on condition of bis separating from the Counters. The Lord Chief Justice intimated that the whole matter had heller be referred to the arbitration of a man of honor, and the counsel ou both sides seemed to think that this would he the most desirable course. Mr Coleridge handed to the Lord Chief Justice a draught of ihe terms to which his client the Countess would consent, but, as Lord Willouglihy was not in low a, the case was adjourned until tha following Monday. The family of the Willoughby d'Erashjr is one of the most ancient nmnnnr tl>A F.n(rli?li n.il.ilitn ft-" n ...... ...j. ...? holder of tlio title is for the time being the hereditary Grand Chamberlain of England; and the pie*ent lord, who is defendant in thie suit, is the fortieth barren in a direct line. What is thought of his nobility in the Com I of Queen's Ilench may be judged by the following peroration of Mr. Coleridge's speech, in which the Lord Chief Justice by the eourse he pursued, seemed en tirely to agree. Mr. Coletidge said : It was 'rue that she bad not been married to the defendant, but the absence of the religious obligation# would make the relations between them, under the circumstances, in some respects more sacred to a man of honor. She had left her husband for him, had borne him * daughter, and lived with him for fifteen years.'? She was as faithful to him as woman ever waa to man. In health and in sickness she devoted herself to him with unwearied attention.' Sho had but one fault; and if be had in bint one spark of the feelings of a gentleman, it did not lie in his mouth to reproach her wiih it. Of course, In the abetract, those things are wrong; but io wuai extent iney are wrong, end whet the complexion of this or that cane, it ie not for man to jjdge.? Burns wrote : r "What's done wo all eao woll compute, , But Dover what's resisted." There may be men who have never strayed beyond the sacred circle of leg* ilitnate love.

Men of the highest gifts of heert and mind, men of stainless honor, men whose live*, in other respects were patterns of erery grace and every excellence and every virtura, had in this respect departed front the true standard of morals ;.'but it would be miserable cant and hypoc icy to deny on that recount tbe blgb end noble qualities they possess.

The defendant here had acknowledged hie obligation, nml would no dnuht have CMuieii out bis expressed intention hud he not come under baneful influence. Being no, he seized her wretched furniture end turned liur into the street. Hut let the Lord High Chamheilain of England, the ma/t whose duty it was to marshal the nobles of the country to the throne of the Sovereign?let him say in that action : 41, an English nobleman, an English gentleman, have sold your property, and have the proceeds ; but you are a mart led woinnn?von cannot main tain this action.

No man has more of character at stake in the case than he has?not even the Bcc<i?ed. Much of the great reputation of John Marshall was made in one Stale trial. Judicial impartiality, in ordinary case*, is too common an at* tribute to win any renown, though the lack of It would deserve infamy.? Aaron Purr, when he appearod for trial before Chief Justice Marshall, was the most unpopular man in America. He hnd reconlly kilted, in a duel, the bril rthnl' leader of the Federalists. Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton and Mardiqll had been in' the war of tho Revolution, and in the war of politics, intimate as eocia'.ea and warm friends. Jly a singular fate, Purr by bis rivalrv tyith Mr. Jefferson, flie leader of the Deinoorats, had incurred his enmity, lie it was who, as President, called Purr's arrest and urged his conviction on the charge of treason. History has cleared the fame of Purr of this imputation ; but, at the time, nothing saved him from conviction hut the stern integrity of Marshall, who saw before him, not tho detested murderer of hi* friend?not the object of the two great parlies' bate ?but only a citizen, guiltless of the particular crime imputed to him, and asking justice.
