Marjlebone !has already taken the toil ialive, and •pr..ii,ninary meeting was held at the Court-house lest night. Yesterday after noon, at a special meeting of the St. Pancras vestry, to hear appeal., requisitions were presented from ratepayers of the various districts to the . churchwardens declaratory that the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exehequer to double the house tea, eitend the same to houses rated at 101. per annum, and to exteild the income tat to incomes as low as 60/. per annum, was based on cruelty and injustice to the industrious claws ; they, therefore, urged upon the church wardens to convene • public meeting of the ratepayers to protest against the financial scheme of the present government. The churchwardens at once acquiesced, and have appointed • public meeting to be held at the sp scions, vestry hall on Thursday evening. The Idarylelsone meeting will be held, it is understood, en Inueseley afternoon; whilst it is shoed that the City of Westunnister will hol.l • demonstration in Drury-lane Theatre, under the presidency of • popular metropnli.an ALI'. and Baronet. AT be Marylebone and Pancrass meet. logs the effect of ere reselutions to be proposed are !o be, " That the property and income-tax to the full amount being levied upon howie,, and an additional tax effkL in the pound on shops, and 9.1. on dwellin4 house*, having been recently imps sed, the proposition of tho Chancellor of the Exche quer to double that att.itional tat, by increasing the im poets on shops to Is., and On dwelling houses to Is. Gd., in the pound is unwise, unjust, and injurious." !' That in ewe it should be found necessary, after proper reduction of the national expeaditure, to impose new taxes for the par pose of making up any deficiency which may be created by a reduction of duties on articles of consumption, it is the opinion of this meeting that such deficiency may be sup plied by a probate and legacy duty upon real estate, levied to the same amount as is now charged upon personal pro perty, and by extending the property and assessed taxes to Ireland, to be there levied in the same manner as it is now paid by the inhabitants of Great Britain."

Yesterday this committee, eonsieting of Mr. Goul burn (choinian), Sir It'. Molesworth, Lord Ilerringten, Lord I. Vane, and Mr. Deedes, reareembled in committee room No. 14, to consider the matter of the petition of inha bitant householders of the borough of Derby, alleging the existence of systematic bribery and corrupt:en at the late election, and that the Secretary-at-War, the Right lion. William Beresford, was a party thereto; the allegations coutsined m th 3 petition being rebutted on behalf of Major lletesford, by minister allegations to the effect that the cLavite in question was the mull of conspiracy, and suborLatiou of p. rjoty. It will he remembered that at the sitting of the committee on Thep day last, an intimation was thrown out that the premise() of the r• presentative' of the press would be die. le used with, and au impression appeared to prevail that the committee would by M. .day have had time to re rounder a ilecieion which virtue'dy, in excluding the public press, dowel the door also on the electoral constituencies of the country, of whom, and pro Ate rim, the public press, on seen VCV.3.60111. I , the acknowledged representative. The committee, it appears, were not uumiedfel of the. import • since of this point. end aceorlingly the qu. •lion was pit'', "Aye" or " No,". as Lothe press being admitted, when f ur out of the Sire members voted against the admission of th pram, vie., Mr. Doulborn, the chairman, Lord klarrine. ton, Lard II Vane, and Mr. Deedes; the on'y rem►ining member, Sir W. Molesanrth, voting iu favour of the press b. ing admitted. Yesterday, at a few minutes atter 12 o'clock, on the " parties" to the petition being called fur, a considen.ble body of the " public" entered, end with them roe eral of t►e repriaentstives of the press, without being previously aware of the decision the committee had come to. ..... Mr. Serjeant Kinglake, Q.C., sod Mr. BierM Limes, Q.C., appeared for the petitioners, with Mr. Coppock u the parliamentary agent. Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Mr. Montague Smith, appeared for Majer Beresford, with Mr. Whateley of Birmingham as the parliamentary agent. Mr. Whatehy, addressing the committee, said he wished tn qate, before the caw was opened by his learned friend on the other Wile, that the reason of the nou.appearanee of the parties for Major Beresford on Thursday, arose from their not having been made aware that the committee weld sit on that day, and that they only knew it from the fart of the announcement of it in the newspapers. An application wis made by counsel to be allowed a locus stai.e.i on belialfof Messrs. Con, of the Lend Works, lb thy, but the committee refused the at pheation on the ground of non.insplieation. The Chairman theo, after • pause, said, the committee have Jet:emitted th.t this inquiry shall be private. They do not iiitchd any person to be in the room but the counsel who are conducting the case on the two sides, and the agents whom th, y employ. All other parties will, therein,, necessarily withdraw from the room. That (turning le the ether members) is, 1 believe, our determination. The announcement appeared to take the public" by eurj.rise, and t. sy reluctantly withdrew. The elintnit'co room, however, was opened duriag the day to • number of members of par...merit, who looked in cut of curiosity, and to the clerks of the learned counsel, agents, and others. Mr. Serjeent Kinglake then addressed the commit , ce, tg.ntining Lizutelf to the facts of the are, which ho pro p.scd to subvtantiate in evidence, and then proceeded t' call Mr. Fleuher, who was examined by Mr. James. lie stated that he had been • solicitor in practice at Derby ler the last 30 years. During that period he hod been meowed in electioneering mutters on the conservative side. We.. introduced by Mr. Alderman Thompson to Major Dercsford in 1816. (A letter from Mr. Alderman Thompson intro ducing the wituees to Major Berestord wee here read. in which the 'Wm in spoke of DeWitt in high terms.) Upon the streugth of this introduction, witness saw Major lien s. lord at the Carlton Club, the Notional, and at his pi ivate lodgings in l'all mall ; and subsequently he entered into regu.ar corrisponuence with the major relstive to eh rim, matters at Detby. Did so on the occasion of the election of Messrs. Steen and (lower, and here • letter was read from Major Deresford to Flcuker, in whirls for the first time the major introduced Frail to Fleisher. The letter, dated 2ith Feb., 1818, 77, l'all-mall, was addresee.l by Major Berrsford to witness: " I have an agent who is skilled in all cleenn nutter+ and wha understands every 11111011 Pr of *theme with !egad to petitions. Ile will he in Derby next Mouthy. and will Iring an introduction trio me. You may trust him most implicitly, and you will g.t some very usefal hints probably from bite respecting your petition.—Yours, WILLIAM BEIIES,011D." It was in tl is way witness first knew of Frail's existence. On the follow ing day, Feb. 26, Frail appeared at Derby, and gave witness a letter as follows:—" Dear Sir,—The bearer, Frail, is the person I wrote to you :thew. —. Yours very truly, WiLLI•7I DEkItIVOIID. Feb. 26." Subsequently to this witness saw Frail in company with Major lleresford on several occasions at the Carlton, , the National, and 77. Pall-mall, and witness constantly ' corresponded with Frail on the subject of the election peti tion against Meagre. threat and Gower. Shortly after this, witness received • letter from Frail, dated Carlisle, by which it appeared that Frail was then engaged on the Car lisle eleetioo, and was unable to leave Caere, but made an appointment to see witness in London on the Therein!. following. The election at Carlisle was in consequence of a vacancy, occasioned by Mr. Hodgson being unseated for treating, and Mr. Hodgson being again a candidate, Frail was engaged on his behalf. Frail also on that occasion for warded to wi'neso • copy on orange paper of tho state of the poll at Carlisle, and promised to meet witness in Lon don. The witnesabere produced two letters from Frail, sent from Carlisle, both in }rail's handwriting, and both signed with fictitious names—one signed " Ninon," and the ether John Johnson ;" and witness, on being asked as to how these names were assumed by Frail, gave it as his opinion that Frail was engaged at the Carlisle election fur an illegal purpose, and therefore assumed a feigned name. Tree witness went on further to relate that Frail appealed in Derby at the election in 1848 on behalf of Messrs. Freshfield and Lord, arrived at Derby the day before the nominatiou, and left upon the flowing day. Frail stated to witness that he was very mut!. disgusted with the man ner in which he had beets treated, and that he had only received some 100 guineas for the purpose of bribing the voters when he had been promised I. far larger sum. Ile (Frail) stated that he had received the money from a Mr. Cot, a member of the firm of Coe and Co., of the Lead Works at Derby, and that, instead of sending him more money, he had gone oat shooting and forgot hint This was on the Ist September, the day before the polling day. Frail was disguised in • black velvet jockey cop, and • large white coat buttoned up to the chin, so that witness scarcely knew him. Frail had stated to witness before, when in London, that he had been sup plied with a large quantity of money for the purpose of bribing the electors, with " homemade," at Derby, and he pointed to his pocket, in which he stated was a large roll of Bank notes, and that he should be down there to " do the trick." Waimea believed that Frail left Derby in disgust at finding be could not safely bribe the electors, and Mr. Froshfield was left in • minority. Mr. Freshfield wrote several letters to witness, complaining of the minority in which ha found himself, and stated he was utterly at a loss to know how it had happened. Witness had never hail any communication with Frail from the time of his disappearance • from Derby, and hod never had any communication from Film or seen him since. The witness then went on to describe the names of the different individuals who were attire at the late election. Among others more particularly wire Henry Radford, a large butcher, John Huoth, • solicitor, several member+ of the Cox family, • person named Rice, a Mr. Simpson, and Mr. Josiah Lewis, who wan chairman of Mr. Horsfall's committee. Lposi the evening of the tad Jaly last he was at the King's Head Tavers, near the quarters M Mr. Horefell's committee, and there he met Mr. Hear, Radford, who told the witness that a person bed come from Chester with a very large sum of money, and that they (the conservative electors) were determined to win the election, and that loads of money would be moving about. Radford then gave witness • card (pro d...6d), on which was the same of " Mr. Morgan (written in pea and ink), Chester," and witness was told by Mr. Radford that this Mr. Morgan was to be found in a back mins at the left baud corner of the County Tavern. Was certain Morgan was not brought to Derby by Frail, nor was any stranger whatever with Frail on the occasion of his being at Derby in 1818; the only persons who were fre quently in communication with Frail on that occasion being Hued* end Radford. At this part of the examination the committee adjourned to this day at eleven o'clock Itrroars Piton iItrLAND.

The Smithfield Club Cattle Show, alernys one of the year's events in the metropolis, will be opened to the public this day, and will remain open for the usual period. The cattle are this year fur the first time differently classed. Formerly all breeds were shown together, the classification consisting in differences of age., sex, and Po forth—nowise find Devon., Herefords, Short-horns, Scotch, Welsh, and Irish, other pure breeds and mixed breeds. On the whole the new arrangement is satisfactory to the eshihitors of each breed, for there really were so fl an y essential distinctions between them that the comparison was scarcely a fair one. We may remark of the present show, that nearly all the beasts shown of the tl ree leading brewd'!, Devon. Ifereiorcis, and Short-horns, display all the marks of good breeding; and, with ciao exception, we saw none of those unsightly masses of fat accumulated about the hips and rum p. which, at one time, justly laid tb' feeders for the Smithfield Club Show open to the imputation of producing deformed living lumpy of tallow. Now all the best, and especially the prise intim ils, are very level and symmetrical, and though many of them are of great hulk, the term is at ono. seen to be rue of great beauty. From g. nersla let us come tit par:iculars. In class I, vomiting of Devon steers not exceeding three years old, only two beasts were shown, hut both were deemed worthy of prises. The first prise, Mr. 8. A. Thomas, pare North Devon steer of his own breed ing, was creditable both to the feeder and breeder. lo class 2, being Devon oxen above three years old, lord Leicester, who was the second in the former clam, took the 251. prise, with the breeder's silver medal. Like ail the best Devon* it is a good fleshed beaus, and very even. Mr. Quartly, of South Molten, the well-known Devon breeder, obtained the s econd prise with his three years and seven mouths old ox. In moat of its points it is little inferior to the former. Tee prize heron heifers and cows, in claws three and four, all came from SurnerseWurc, Mr. T. W. Fouracre taking two. Hereford steers not exceeding three years old composed clam five, the Proem and oxen above that age constituting clue six. Prince Albert obtained the first prise in the one class with a three year old steer, bred in Herefordshire. and deserved it. The other ChM was • numerous one, and the competition close, the prize animals being little better than several others very justly commended ChM seven, consisting of Hereford heifers, contained only two animals, heth taking prize.. In class eight, Hereford cow above four years old, the competition was severe. Of the six, two took prizes, and three were commended. It is worthy of notice that in the Hereford classes, the feeders are seldom the breeders, while in both the Devon and short-horn clans a, a large propor tion of the beasts have been bred by the ireden. Perhaps the Ilereferds in the point of quality are altogether the hest in the present show. The short horns form unques tionably the chief attraction of the present show ; they are more numerous than the other breeds, end eontein a larger proportion of tint-rate animals. They certainly lose no thing by the new plan of clsssifieatioal wording to breed. The first prise in class nine, short horn steer. not exceed ing thus years old, u roan two years and ni u o month s steer, exhibited by Mr. Joseph Stratton, and bred by Mr. Richard Stratton, of Broad Hinton, near Swit.don , Wilts, the well-known short-horn breeder. There is also a white steer of tile same age, bred by Mr. Richard Stratton, and exhibited by a relative, which received commendation, was is form and character quite equal to the prize steer, but perhaps he does not handle quite so well. The Duke of Itutland's steer, which took the second prize in this claw, is also a very superior animal. In class 9, short horn steers above three years old, there was a large entry and a good one. Mr. Richard Stratton's roan ox which obtained the first prize in this class, had also tho gold medal as the best steer or ox in any of the classes, and he certainly is a magnificent beast; of great size, yet very well propor tioned, and showing high blood. This fine ox, and all the other short bores shown of Mr. Stratton's breeding, are by his hull " The Red Duke," bought by him of Mr. Hayter, M.P.. and bred by she late Mr. B.des. Classes 11 and 12 • are the short horn heifers and cows, and they form, as usual. the most beantiful part of the exhibi tion. Mr. Charles Towneley's prize row, five poets and eight months old, is very perfect. Mr. Richard Stratton's red cow, four years ou I mini months old, is a singular level and compact creature, low and large. The her. Thomas Castor, of Skelbrook•park, near Donelster, has a cow tialit years and five months old well worthy of notice. She has had four calves, and now, when mode up, reteins the even flesh and rounded outline of a heifer. Her live weight is one ton and one hundred weight. Class 13, consisting of Scotch, Welsh, or Irish oxen, and Class 14, the cows and heifers of the name breeds, come at a long interval after the three Eighth breeds. There is, in fact, no Irish or Welsh animals shown, all in these classes being Scotch, and cer tainly not so good of their kind uwe have peen in some', former shows. No one with any . knowledge of stock cou ld doubt (or a moment, after instituting a comparison between the English and Scotch breeds, that the latter must be, as we know they are, slow feeders. Classes 15 and 16, being the oxen and cows of " other pure breeds," mu.t be regarded as curiosities rather than specimens of modern farming stock. They consist of a " rare Holland blood," ox and heifer, and two long-horn cows. The Dutch are very inferior, and certainly go tar to contradict the notion some persons entertain, that some of the elements of our short horn blood were derived from Holland. As to the long-horns, the merest novice need only walk from the short-horn classes to clam sixteen, to be able to comprehend completely the reason why the short horns have everywhere superseded the once mucloprired long-horns. The mixed breed dosses consist of various crosses, but all the best have the short-horn cross. The long-woolled sheep, both Leicester' and others, are very good, esp. cially the Leicester'. the Marquis of Exeter is one of the chief prise win ners in the Leicester classes, which now consist of large lorg-wonll-d sheep, as different as possible from the light-woolled delicate Leicester of Dakewell and his btllowers. The other long wools shown are Cotswolds, and floe upstanding animals they are. It is remarkable that we never see a Lincolnshire make its appearance at the Smithfield show; or if it appears, in fact, it takes the designation of • Leicester. The short-woolled sheep are numerous and good, and there is greater variety amongst them than we have ever before seen. Formerly nose but the pure or Sussex southdowns were shown; now there are west country downs and Shropshire downs in considerable number,. The west country, or Ilampshira, down is a larger Lne more profitable sheep than the Sussex down, 1 quieter in disposition, though perhaps requiring more ft rd. Tho Shropshire Down is also a larger animal, but his points as yet fall very far short of those of the went country and Sussex downs. The Duke of Richmond has taken several prizes for South Downs. Indeed, his grace has been more successful than on any previous occasion ; and we cannot avoid hoping that his time and energies, once so sadly misdirected to the advocacy of protection, and the making the farmers un happy, have been usefully concentrated upon the care of his flock. At all events, he has sacceeded in winning all except the first prize for short-woolled sheep. Mr. W. Sainsbury, of \Vest Lavington,\Vilts, takes the first prize for yearling South Down wethers, and the gold medal for the best short-woolled sheep of all claws. Mr. Sainsbury is n very successful exhibitor of breeding stock, and the character of his sheep is that of greater size and substance than any other South Down breeder of note. His sheep also carry a good deal of wool. The classes of cries breeds contain a great deal of useful stock, and in a fat. stock show form very proper objects for exhibition; as practically a very considerable part of the mutton brought to the London market consists of cross-bred, black and white-faced, sheep, usually Down and Leicester, or Costwold and Down. In the present show there aro some mess breeds, whose pedigrees are not stated, and which we could not trace from their appearance. The pigs are u good u usual, for everybody professing to keep stock has good pigs. They consist chiefly of our dif ferent original breeds, crossed and relined by means of the Neapolitan. Sir John Conroy has some Berkshire pigs which have gone through this process. The pen of black pigs which received the gold medal, Mr. Coates's of Ham moon, Blandford, Dorset, have a strong dash of the Neap°. Wan blood. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1852. Mr. 7. 8.

Mr. James (with whom was Mr. Oray), in opening this case, stated that the plaintiff WIL► the daughter of a vett fi nery surgeon, who formerly lived at Shrewsbury, but was now residing at Walsall. The defendant was a young man ngaged let funning pursuits, and in the breeding of race horse., and was entitled to considerable property under his father's will. The horned counsel then proceeded to detail the facts, which were proved by the folluwiug witnesses : Mary Langley—l am the mother of the plaintiff. My husband is a veterinary surgeon. My husband's father was a clergyman. The defendant is a gentleman farmer, living near bhrewsbary. The defendant first visited my house in 18.60. lie is about 26 years of age, and that is also the age of my daughter. In IBM he said to me, that he hail come to the house for the purpose of making my daughter an offer, but he could never find her alone; and he then desired to do so in the pro , scnee of the family. lily husband said ho had no objection, but his daughter was old enough to judge for herself. My daughter was leaving the room at the time, but he requested her to stay. Ile said to her " Have you any objection 1" She said that was a subject that required a pod deal of consideration. The defendant afterwards visited my daughter at my house from time to time. He said he had plenty of money ; hut he wished to go abroad after be was married, and he should therefore try to raise some more money on hi. property. Ile said he should like to go to Paris for a trip alter the marriage. Ile continued to visit my daughter from September, 1851, down to November in the same year. lie proprril being married on the let of November, in London, in cor.equence of which wedding dresses, &e., were provided. I objected to their heiug mar ried in London. He said he wanted 2001. to go to l'aris after they were married, and he could get it in London. They left my house tottotlier, to be married in London. By the Court —I did not go with them, or any one else. Examination resumed—My daughter had a female cousin living in London, and so hail the defen hint, and he proposed that his cousin should he bridesmaid. They left my house un a Thursday morning, and were to bare been married on the Saturday morning after. On Siiiiday I had a letter to say they were not married, and on that day my daughter returned. I afterwards saw the defendant. He came that evening with my daughter. 11, said he had been di appointed in receiving the money, and my I daughter preferred coifing home to remaining in town. He said he was sorry, but they should have to go up again in a few dila. He proposed that, after the mar riage, they should join an hotel with his farm, and ho would have 700 f. instead of the 2001. which ho had proposed to borrow on his propeety. We had the typhus:fever in the house a few dux after my daughter's return, and the defendant wishes! her to go to London to be out of the way of infection. She accordingly went to London, and remained two or three weeks, and whilst there the de resident wrote to her a letter of the 16th November, another of the 2nd December, and a third of the lith Iheember, still professing his attachment to the plaintiff, hoping that he should soon Fe able to obtain the money he required on his property, and then be married, My daughter returned from London after she hid been there three weeks, and arrived at Birminghain. She hail negotiated some business for the defendant iu London, and obtained the MU. lie wanted to get advanced on his props rep, which sum she handed to the &fend int. Ile subsequently unmoved to Walsall, and in April, 1862, defendant came .I,(j to our house. I believe he saw my daughter, but 1 was not at home. In the autumn of that year he cone to the Walsall races, and called at our hnuse. Ile promiesid to come the neat day, as I told him I wanted to see him ; but ho never came again. Ile continued to correspond with my daughter, until lie finally broke it off. kly dough. ter's health has been very indifferent ever since. Cross-examined by Mr. Whitely (with whom was Mr. Untlsank)—My husband went to Shrewsbury to practise in Mara; IVA. He earns trout Yoshall, Hs had lived thus two years. Before that he had been living at Abbots Bromfurd. It was not proposed that the defendant should raise money to put my daughter in the Swan lon at Shrewsbury. I never said so to Mile Clough. She kei pe en inn in that town. I was present when my daogliter made a representation upon whii h more, was lent to the defendant, to bu returned in three weeks. My doughter has had a former action for breach of promise, in which was a witness, against a person called Parton. It was tried, I believe, in July, 1849. She got 4001. damages. remember stating on that trial that my daughter was very poorly in consequence of the lows of Mr. Parton. She recovered nee spirits after the trial again. I remember producing forty or fifty love lettem ow Mr. Parton's trial. I cannot say whether my daughter ever had any other love affair. My daughter 25. Dal not say that she was of Cm that ago ia4u. d ou i t knowknowmy daughter was L en,out she will be 26 next birthday. I don't know the year in which I was married I can't tell to within two or the. a years. 'rho plaintiff is the eldest child. When it was first proposed to raise money on the defendant's property. he objected that it would in. convenience him to do en until ho was 2d years of age—lie is now only 24 years of age. Ito•mamined—T;ie deleinlant knew of the action against Parton before he began to piy his addresses to ray daugh ter. Defendant first proposed to borrow money. Mr. Langley—l am Ito father of the pliiiii . ff. I re member the il.foliciant paying his addresses to my q iughter. The witness corrobor ited the general facts, and to oceeded to say : In February 1852 I saw the defendant at Wolver hampton, and asked him why he had neglected n.y daugh ter. lie said he had not done so ; he loved her as much as ever, and intended to make her his wife. lie filti 't weeds ceased to pay any attentions to the plaintilf. I went to see the defendant in the August following, and diced with him. A person called Jorier, a veterinary surgeon of Shrewsbury, vies also present. After dinner I told defen dant I wanted to speak to him privately ; but lie refused to go out of the room, and slid that what I hail to commu nicate I must state before Jones. I refused to do so and left the house. In the September following, I wrote to the defendant, remonstrating with him on his conduct to my daughter. I did out, however, receive any reply. Soon after I saw him in Walsall, when I mid I would like to speak to him about my daughter, and he replied in a very offensive manner. Defendant's father left him about 9,0001. lie breeds race horses and hunters. Ile told me it cost him 2,0001. to stock his farm. He told me he should be worth considerable property when he was 25 years of age. Cross-examined by Mr. Whfteley—No one lert! the passionate expression, I have jut iyOkesi to as having been made by the defendant but myself. There never was u pro position that my daughtre should take the Swan Inn by herself. I drank wino with the defendant et the Walsall rues. Eresebius W. Langley—l are the brother of the plaintiff. I saw the defendant at Walsall some time ago, end asked him how he could serve toy sister so badly. Ile said he lured her as well as ever, but he wanted somebody with a lot of money, the same as his brother had. Ile told use that he should have 40W. a year when ho was 24 years of lige. Defendant knew of the action against It.trtou, and told rue that the verdict against that person served hint tight— that he was "a scamp, and ought to hare been tun sported." (Laughter.) This being the plaintiff'. cue, Mr. Whiteley addressed the jury for the defendant, and urged that the action had been brought in London instead of Shropshire, because the partite wcto too well khown in their own neighbourhood. Ile did not intend to east any imputation on the plaintiff, but he must oleo observe that there was no charge filmiest tke defendant of having attempted to injure the person of the plaintiff. Ws conduct towards her appeared to have been perfectly moral and correct. The statement that the defendant intended to marry the plaintiff when they first went to London could not be true, because neither of the parties hail resided long enough in London to enable them to get married there. The fact of the plaintiff and defend .nt b, tog away from home together un that and on u subsequent occasion, to ley the let:digit, was imprudent ; :out ne advantage had been taken by the dc. Implant of the tempt Aiwa which had bean put in his way. The whole proc :tiling, on the part of the plaintiff and her parents, who appeared to be cunning and &winning people, was an attempt to entrap the defendant, and obtain fur the daughter either a husband or a second verdict, wi damages, fur a breach sat promise withiu three years. It had not been shown that any great warmth of attachment existed between the parties, and Ms never in his life had reed cinder love letters than those which had been pr elueed in court, for they did not coldirii. a single passi, mate eel:re...hoe. It was simply a question of datneges and he would ask the jury what injury the l• ' • if had sustained, either in eharacte ror person ? Ile contended that the smallest amount of damages would satisfy the justice of the case. Tke defendant's property had been greatly exaggerated ; and such actions, brought as they gencrully were merely as conintercia speculations, ought nut to he encouraged. The learned Judge having briefly summed up, The jury retired, and, after being absent nearly four hours, returned into court with a verdict fur the plaiutiff— damages, 3241. EQUITY COURTS.—YesrenuAr.

Mr. Bacon and Mr. PAl..bs, for the assignees of the bank rupts, appeared in support of an appeal from the decision of the commissionsr, admitting a claim against the bank rupts' estate in respect of a debt allegol to he due from them to the creditor. Tho only question of interest in the case related to the evidence adduced to establish the debt, which consisted of the usual affidavit of debt sworn by the creditor before a justice of the peace of New York, where the creditor resided, and of an affidavit by a notary of NLw York that the justice,before whom the creditor's oath had be. n taken was a magistrate of that city. The question was, whether this last affidavit ought also to hove contained a statemen• that the notary was present when tLe until was administered to the creditor. - - Their lordships held that the affi lavit filed was suffi.;;Jiit evidence of the claim without the anditional statement suggested. rsrnsr. ray Nuns or rue nous. MACLAREN V. STAINTON. This was a motion to dissolve an injunction which bad been granted to restrain the Carron Company from prose cuting an action in the Court of Session in Scotland au .inst the trustees and executors under the will of a Mr. Henry Stainton. Ir. Stainton, it appeared, wu for 27 years the ma• naging director in England of the Carron Company, which is a chartered company in Scotland for the manufacture of iron. Mr. Stainton died worth, as was supposed, more than 300,0001., a portion of which was real pro perty in Scotland, and a suit was instituted in this court for the administration of his estate. The Carron Company, however, who claimed a sum of 69,0001. against the estate of the deceased for an alleged balance due from him to them, and 38,0001. for interest, instituted a suit in the Session Court, and an application was thereupon made to this court for an injunction to restrain the parties from proceeding in that suit, and the cause now came on on motion to dissolve that injunction. The principal point involved was whether the court bad jurisdiction; it being contended that it had, on the ground that the corn , pany had premises and an agent in London, and also win iu Liverpool. His Honour said he conceived the court had jurisdic tion, and that, under the circumstances, it was fit and proper to exercise it. The motion to dissolve the injunction must be refused, and the injunctiuo would therefore con tinuo against the proceedings in Scotland; but there must be liberty to apply if any of the parties wore so advi•ed. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Sandy., a clerk in the banking house of Glyn and Co., was brought before the Lord Mayor upon a charge of having stolen a 5411. note awl two 30/. notes, the property of his employers. Mr. Mullen., of the firm of Bush and Mullen., solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for pro tection from felony and fraud, attended fur tho prose cution. Mr. Mullen said, the ease involved a complicated in quiry, the prisoner having pursued for the purpose of evading detection a course which had caused a great deal of contusion in the books of the establishment. Mr. 11. B. Ittynelds, clerk at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s banking house, said the prisoner had bets right or nine years in our bank. On the 23rd of Sept. last, the balance of the day was wrong, the effects being 2001. short of frit they ought to be. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that a 2001. note was missing. I do not 'craw whether we shall be able to learn the par ticulars of that note. On the 28th of September we found that several other notes, to the amount of 200/., were me... ing ; but the baloney was then right. On the I Ith of Oc tober four not., were missing, to the amount of 1001 (Inc of them was for SOL, dated 9th March, 1852, and numb nd 88,114; one for 301., dated Bth May, 1852, numbered 7:1,10PJ ; and a third for 301., dated Bth May, and numbered 74,634 ; other notes, covering the whole amount, having been placed in their at, ad in the bank note drawer. These three not, e, it was ascertained, had been paid into the banking house by Messrs. Newton. The prisoner was rrmaneed. WESTMINSTER.
