" - Miv Baikes and Mr . Hah . vrere for the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr . Upkdas . On the night mentioned in the indictment , the prosecutrix had been to tbe house of her mother-in-law , which was some distance from Leeds ; and on returning , about halfpast six o ' clock , aloDg the Ceeston ' old road , she y *? met by Couplandwho was cjming from the

      , direction of Dtwsbury towards Leeds . Not a word passed between them ; befare he hai gone far , howerer he turxed back , and threw ler on the ground , but she rescued btr ^ lf . He pursued , and again noleoth threw her down , and effected his purpose . She hadafew weeks before been confined of twias . On arri ^ inj at borne , she told her husband , and they both went in search of the prisoner ; she recogn i sed him on the road , and he then leaped over tbe hedge , and escaped . The same night he was found at a public-house a » d given into custody . Hi * clothes were dirty , apparently as if he had been on tbe ground .

      Mr . Dcndas addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner , commenting on tbe two essential points in tbe case . He contended , first , that no felony had ever been comaitted , but should they differ with him in that opinion , be submitted that tbe evidence of identity was too doubtful te ju < tifv them in returning- * , verdict against the prisoner . ' The Jury eunft-rred together some time , and then returned-a verdict of Acquittal . Tne Court rose about six o ' clock .

      01 mw # . 1 am not speukinj ; hfpctbetically of wrfeat may be discovered in faroBtable vreafteri ' . ' for I had ocatar proor yesterday that ff is yi « We in rihe depth of winter . The wealth of Lyoni ! ia distinctly indicated by the villas around it , whieh are tbrev tinea more numerous than those round Paris , and some of them ef a magnitude and elegasce whieh entitle Uiejn to the name of chateau * . Paris is a city of shopkeepers and officials , many of wh « m are eomfortable few rich : Lyon < is a city of manufacture r * ,. where iadividnals raise themselveu tvprraeeljc fortunes , bj their industry . F / om Ck » bna-to Marseilles , the marks of progresjJ -meet the ere

      everywhere . The whole distriet , JJ 70 miles in length , is advancing with giant strides . At every frtep , ' in descending tbe river , we meet with bauiex or manufactories building , qaajs forming on th ^ river , bridges erecting to ero « it , roads , or towing-paths , or embankment * making . Two facts will shew thaC this u no exaggeration . It it eraly eight yeiw . ^ eiuce steam-boats were introduced ; and there ar « bow six plying between Chalons and Lyons , and ten between Lyons aBd . the ses , thsagh the coal they use is brought from England , and costs aboik 50 * . a ton . It is bat ten years * ince suspension bridges were known or heard of in the distriet . , Of course , they laboured under tbe disadvantage of beuig a novelty " ; yet . in the short space of ten years , ' the industrious inhabitants of these districts ( Burgundy and Provence ) have erected fourteen suspension bridn « s vence ) have erected fourteen suspension bridges

      over the Saone j and twelve over the Rhone . 1 doubt if there are as m » ay at this moment in all England . And let it not be supposed that the bridges are paltry , or rude and iaape ' rfect Works . They are light and elegant ; the arches ore ofun of great "pan , and the pathway is either iwVel , or slightly and uniformly curved . Sometimes they have two arcbes , but in general three . The chains are sometime * single , but more commonly triple or quadruple ; the su . ipen .-ion rods always single . The columns on tbe pit-rs are sometime * slender obelisks of stone , sometime * thin tall slabs of . cast iron . Taking them altogether , they . are the lightest and most hanaVmae structure * I ever saw and show great boldness as well as skill anitaste in the engineer . But the fact on which I wish

      te fix attention is tbe enterprise and th « health which these works bespeak . The twenty-wx bridges roust have cost at least £ 200 , 000 ; and this sum has been raised by the public spirit of the district , and expended on one - species of { tnproveroeDt , wbile many others were in- progress . In 1 T 91 , Lyons had " 150 , 000 inhabitant * . Tbv revolution , in crushing its manufactures , reduced iw population ; and Mr * . StarJtie , in her Traveller ' * Guide , borreuing probably from some account pushed in 1814 or 1815 ,- sets down the number of inhabitant * at 1 00 , 00 ( V At present , according to the Guide Pittoresijue de I Ef ranger a Lyons , the population , including tbe suburbs , exceeds 200 , 000 .
