The tumult being closed, the Callan was summed up; the Judge committed the cause to a jury in a charge which showed him not insensible to the wrongs of love. ly woman, and the jury, after due deliber ation, retorted with a verdict for the plaintitrof four hundred dollars, to com pensate her for lacerated feelings, blight ed hopes nod crushed affections, the Ines of a husband worth five thoo•and dollars and nine children.-- Steu6en Cou rier..
