It is stated that this learned gentleman, who has been suffering from severe illness so far as to incapacitate him from atteedance to his professional duties at the court, hal an idea of resigning his lucrative office. The name of his SZIODOOKt ham not been mentioned, but it is understood the emoluments are considerably be and 1,0001. a year. The clams have recently been taken by the clerks of Mr. Ald ridge and Mr. Bromley, the partner of that gentleman ; end the commissioners, on hearing applications for orders of discharge, have, so far as the rule of the court is concerned, kindly made an exception in favour of the clerk of that gentlemen. Messrs. Aldridge and Bromley enjoy an exten sive popularity in Suffolk, being well known in that dis trict ; and Mr. Aldridge's retirement from his present well earned position would be regretted by the members of the legal profession morally.

Blind have been nominated to naval cadetship& doubt proMpted by his attachment for the lady in question. He would read the defendant's effort In poesy to the jury. It we. u follow.: . Yorget me not I Let not the past fads from thy memory— The heart that ne'er from thee can roam : In health and sickness let thy motto be— •• Heine sweet home." (Roars of laughter.) Il there were no other letters in the cans, he thought that the above extract would show the at tachment of the defendant at the time in question for the plaintiff, and which had no doubt made him think and long for the comforts of home with his beautiful lady, and had suggested his effusion in which he enjoined her to make her motto " Home, sweet home." (Laughter.) Letters from the defendant continued to be received by the plaintiff during the year 1860, and be (the learned mammal) also be lieved during 1861, whim he left town in the exercise of his employment, and went to Wootton. Theo, however, the letters from the defendant became more frequent, the attachment, no doubt, progressing and increasing, the defendant no doubt receiving ample encouragement from the plaintiff ; and extracts from lame of those letters he would read to them. Those letters had fortunately been preserved, and he could read from them to show that the defendant. although not so poetically-struck as his former effusioo showed him to be, still, Ifire a respectable English mechanic, his love for the plaintiff became stronger, and if not so poetically expressed was quite as strongly sh own by his subsequent letters to the plaintiff. One of tios letters he would read as a specimen, and although it was a solid matter of fact one, it would show the attachment be felt for the plaintiff, and was such a communication as might be ex pected from a respectable English mechanic. The first letter he would read was dated the Ist January, 1861, and was as follows :—" Dear B.,—Happy new year, and many of them. You must excuse me for not writing you on Sunday, the 29th December, 1859, but you sent use word to meet , on the 28th, and I did not find it out till I was writing. (This,thelaarned counsel remarked, probably aroee from the plaintiff's letters being delayed.) The letter continued—" My temper was out on Saturday, the 28th — (laughter)—but I got started to come—but I will tell you the reason when we meet again. Yon must excuse me not writing you, but I could not help it. Plow to write back by return of post, and tell me when I can meet you again, and I will be there. Can you meet on Wednea. day night? Beam write and lot me know what time, and so good night —I remain, —Manaus BOUNP11117." The next letter he would read was dated March 13, and DM as follows :—" Dear 8.,—1 am glad to bear that you are in good health, and I ern @prey that you could not eome on Sun day. I fully expected to bear from you on Monday morn log, and was very much disappointed when I received no letter. lam very much surprised at what you beard from Leyhuida and I cannot tell how each a tale got out. I am sorry to think that you should have such a poor opinion of me. If you take notice of everything you hear you will find that you will haven time to do anything else." This rimer* about Leylands and the "idle tale" arose from a rumour that the defendant was paying attention to another lady, and which plaintiff, like a faithful lover, had Made inquiries about la the neighbourhood. In another letter the defendant mid, "I received your note, and wee glad to me the secret of your heart--(laughter)—but I could not tell what you meant by the guard hurting your finger. (Renewed laughter.) I am sorry for it, but I can make them all right to night (Laughter.) The candle is getting done ; good night. (Renewed laughter.) You had better poultice your finger." (Roars of laughter.) To show that the defendant's attach ment hedgerows' still warmer be, after signing himself Yours, ever affectionate, Mathias Boumphrey," wrote " khnes for you "—(a laugh)— and four ominous little crosses followed that. In another letter he told the plaintiff that Mr. hem got a daughter this morning—(loud laughter)—" so you most auk him when you see him how he likes has pre ent," and signed himself " Yours affectionately, Mathias Bourn- In another letter 'he wrote saying that he was sorry that " Betsey was will," but hoped that it was not love sicknoe—(laughter)—adding, " I has written to your sister." His Lordship—Have you any letter that can show the existence of the contract alleged to (have been entered into by the defendant to marry the plaintiff? Dr. O'Feely—l cannot say that there is any letter in the collection which actually point' to the fact of a contract ex isting between the patina, but I read the letters that show a very warm attachment. The existence of such contract I will show by oral testimony. In 1862 (the counsel con tinued) • moOes arose between the parties. and about this time the defendant commenced paying his addresses to • widow, and when this came to the ears al the plaintiff, she, with the usual perception of • jealous woman, at ores went to the defendant and demanded an explanation. He would show that the defendant had in his letters stated that he bad formed no other attachment but that for the plaintiff ; and he proposed to prove, by the evi dence of a Mrs. Jevoos, that he bed conducted him self to the plaintiff as if he were engaged to her and in tended to make her hie wife. In one of his letters, which would be the Last that he (the learned gentleman) would read, the defendant said to the plaintiff —" I bops it is cold enough for you these few days. I have been very nearly roasted—(laughter)—for the shop is very hot—it is very nearly as hot es love." (Renewed laughter.) In this way matters went on until June last, when suddenly, and without any talcum, the defendant—in the hey-day of his affection—without any explanation broke off has engage meat with the plaintiff, and married • widow who was pos itioned of some property. This was • result that could scarcely have been expected after the expressions of attach ment made by the Wendel:it, which the letters read bad shown—it was scarcely to be beloved that he would have so soot forgotten the lady to whom he was so much at tached ; but such was the case, and he (the learned mantel) hoped the jury would give the plaintiff sabstantial damages for the wrong she had sustained by the conduct of the de fendant. The learned counsel then called evidence sup porting his statement. Mr. Waddy submitted that there was no case on which they could go to the jury. His Lordship said it appeared to him that there was no came at all. It had not been shown for the plaintiff that there was any contract of marriage. Dr. O'Feely submitted that the letters and subsequent conduct of the defendant were proof of an implied contract. Ilia Lordship said the only evidence was that spoken of as to the defendant saying to the plaintiff that they bad better get married, but she had said she would "wait a little loager"—(a laugh)—and it was put off. If any man asked a young woman to marry him, and she said ' No," and put it off, it absolved him from his con. tract, and she could not come and say that he bad broken his promise. Dr. O'Feely submitted that there was a promise and the plaintiff's remark about a " little longer" was only made for the defendant to better bas circumstances, so that they might be more comfortable. His Lordship said that the only evidence of his bettericg his condition was his marrying the widow with the pro perty. (Laughter.) He thought there was no case for the jury The plaintiff was consequently nun-suited. ......-.. Sergeant Little, No. 8 L, apprehended them immediately altar. They were 'earthed, and 19e. 6.1. in silver found on them, but neither the sovereign or purse. The primmer' pleaded guilty, and The magistrate sentsoood each of them to two months' bard labour. THAMES. A foreigner, named Henry Snail, aged 27 years, was brought before Mr. Woolryeh, charged with stealing a large quantity of property from the shop and warehouse of James Peter Davidson aad another, matters, No. 6, Limehouse- artmeway. The prisoner waited on the prosecutors • few nights since, and represented himself as a homeward bound sailor, and in want of a respectable lodging. His appearance and plausible manners imposed on Mums. Davidson and Co., and a room was 'deigned to him in the house. He went to his apartment with • light, and it wiz supposed he bed gone to bed. On the following morning he was missing, and it was ascertained that the shop bad been broken into, and a chest of dimensions and the following property stolen i—r s t . jackets, two carte, 16 pairs of trousers, 11 Guernsey 32 shirts, 12 silk handkerchiefs, 15 cape, 3 halyard& hate, 1 scarf, 1 pair of boots, and a chest. The value of this property was upwards of 501., and it is supposed the pri soner had en accomplice, who helped to carry away the pro piety from the house. The prisoner did not take any per to conceal himself or the pro after the rob bery. He was taken into custody in eliff - 2:bwaY. hi Howard French, a police-cons able, No. IE, who charged him with plundering Mesas. Deviator) and Co. The prisoner replied, " I have taken nothing." Every thing be had on hie person, correlating of two coats, three shira, cap, braces, trousers, waistcoat, neck tie, end boots. be longed to the prosecutors. Mr. David son said, " The prisoner was actually wearing my own boots which I left in the kitchen." Police-sergeant Dillon, 19 If, went to a coffee-house where the prisoner had hired a _lodging, and there found the prosecutors' chest and a ooesuWe portion of the stolen property. The pri mmer had employed various persons to pawn other things, including • suit of clothes for 16s. About one half of the stolen property wu still misting. The prisoner said he had left many things at • house in Westminster, but he knew sot the name of the street. In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the prosecutors said the prisoner told them he came from Liverpool to London to join a ship there. Mr. Woolrych—The most valuable portion of the property has not been recovered. The prisoner is reman for • week. TALLOW. (From the chortler et . Mesempolve7ell,.Brooks, and Ca, dated Thursday evening.) Since our report of the 27th ultimo, there baa been no important change in the state of the tallow market. The dose of the past month was attended with rather more steadiness, but prices have experienced but little fluc tuation, the engagements open on the 31st not being of sufficient importance to affect quotations to any material extent, and the demand from the trade has also continued too light to create soy expectation of a general advance. The stock of " sorts" is full, amounting so about 9,000 make ; lint the bulk of it is firmly held, and for the next few months arrivals will be light ; the yield of home-made tallow, however, is on the increase, and there is a prospect of its continuing at a moderate price during the summer; and, so far as the yenta of consumers are concerned, there is no expectation at present of their being sufficient to enhance present rates. With respect to Y.C. tallow, more uncertainty exists, and recently some consider able amount of speculation has been entered into, in expect ation of higher prices during the summer, and further on in the year, with reference, possibly, to the chance of conti nental disturbances, or the contingency of a serious misun derstanding with America. The market closed yesterday with a steady appearance, although a large quantity of tal low bad been given off during the day, on the April to June contracts, quotations at the close being nearly the mama as on the 27th ultimo.

HOME CIRCUIT.—KncostoN, APRIL 2. (Bohm Mr. Justice Wightman and • Common Jury.) wmaa V. WiLENZIL This was an action to recover 354 for commission for pro. curing the defendant a partnership in • medical bunness, and the circumstanoes were soinewhat peculiar. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., sod Mr. Day were for the plaintiff ; and Serjeant Wanting and Hz. Within Williams for the defendant. The plaintiff is this action wax • person named Martin Weiss, a member of Use Jewish persuasion, who carries on the humane= of • medical agency, and also a governess's institution and scholastic agency, in King William-street, and who styles himself " Dr. Weiss," upon • di ploma of hoentiate of medicine granted by the Dublin University. The del °admit is Mr. Morel Mlienzia, who was formerly • medial officer of the London Hospital, and the action was brought to recover the sum stated, as commission, for the plaintiff having pro mised him • partnership, with • medical gentleman named Margolies in the course of last year. From the evidence of the pl aintiff, it oppeered that he had inserted certain advertisements in the Lancet, and the defendant called upon him, and expressed a wish to become • part ner in a good medical practice, end that be told him Dr. Margetson was desirous to have • partner, and the sum required would be TOOL He maid that be at the same time showed the defendant a circular, one of the terms of which was, that in all caeca where be was the means of procuring either • vendor or a purchaser of • partnership or a business, he expected to be paid live pee cent. commialion by both, and that although the defendant objected at first, he ultimately agreed to thee* terms. An arrangement having been completed between the defendant and Mr. Margetami, the latter, it appeared, paid the plainti ff 354 as his commis sion; but the defendant repudiated the alleged agreement, and the present action wee brought to recover the amount. The plaintiff, who was called to prove the above forte, was subjected to • severe cross-examination by Ssrjeant Belles tine, in the course of which he admitted that at the last Guildford ageism an action was brought against him by a young lady for whom be bad undertaken to procure • situa tion as governess to recover back • sum of 001., which she el. 12:41had been obtained from her by fraud, and that she ob. • verdict, and he had been compelled to repay the money. It also appeared that the agencies referred to were carried on in the oame of Weiss sod Co., but be said the " Co." had left the concern • year and a half ago, and the Weiss and Co. now all centered in his own perso . b.. Serjeant ilallautine, in his address to the jury for the de fendant, characterised the action as an impudent attempt to extort money from the defendant, who, be said, was • gen tleman of eminence in his profession, and • man of great respectability, and who would never have thought of re sisting such a claim if there had been the slightest founda tion for it. The defendant was then examined, and he denied in the most positive manner that the plaintiff ever called his at tention to the circular alluded to, or that anything wee said about his having to pay him a commission of 5 per cent., and he said that he did not see the circular until after he bad concluded the arrangemeet with Mr. Margot son and then the defendant sent him one in • letter. He also: stated that when the plaintiff made this claim upon him, be at once repudiated his liability, but plaintiff pressed for payment, and said he should be sorry to be compelled to being an action against such a distinguished member of the medical profession. (A. laugh.) Mr. Justice Wightmen was about to sum up, when the jury interposed, sad said they were all of opinion that is was unnecessary for him to do so, as they were unanimous in returning • verdict for the defendant. The cases that have been hitherto disposed of have bees of the most uninteresting character possible to be imagined. Several contradictory statements have been made as to the course that will be taken with mand to the adjournment of the court, but Jibes at length been definitively stratipd that an adjournment s h all take piece until Monday ; but only one court will then sit, namely, that in which the Lord Chief Justice presides, and two special juries, "Boui llon v. Lupton" end " Meyer v. Barnett" are appointed to be taken. Mr. Justice Wigbtman will not sit until TUN day morning. There are about sixteen nausea still remain ing to be tried but in all probability the greater portion of them will be 'Ailed. NORTHERN ClRClllT.—Lrvispooi, Arse L (Before Mr. Bane Martin.) JON= T. BOOMPHIUT.-BILIACH or PROMS& This wan an action for breach of promise of marriage. The declaration alleged that the defendant speed to marry the plaintiff. To this the defendant pleaded that after the alleged agreement bad been made, and before the alleged breach, the plaintiff had exonerated him from ita fulfilment ; arid further, that the agreement had been rescinded by the consent of both parties. The plaintiff, Betay Jones, it appears, is a servant girl, who formerly bald a situation in Liverpool, but who at the present time is residing in the family of a surgeon at Halifax, Yorkshire. The defendant is Matthias Boumpbrey, a master joins b eariyieg on business at Herman, in Cheshire, but at the time when the alleged agreement to marry the plaintiff was made was only a journeyman joiner, working in LiverpooL Dr. (YFeely appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Waddy for the defendant. Dr. O'Feely, in stating the case to the jury. mid the parties in the action were in a comparatively humble sphere of life—the plaintiff, Betsy Jones, heir( a servant girl in the employment of a surgeon at Halifax ; but be awe handed that the condition of the plaintiff would not inter fere with the ju7 in regard to the transaction but that they would give it the same attention as if the parties occupied a more exalted sphere in society. It would ap pear that in the year 1859 the plaintiff was in the Navvies of a lady residing in Huskissomstreet, in this town ; and the defendant, who was then working as • journeyman joiner, was engaged on some property in the neighbourhood, and be came acquainted with the plaintiff ; and from that time up to a recent period it would appear from the letters that had between the parties that a warm attachment had ex- L a tid e t i etween them. The defendant was in the habitof visiting Betsy every Sunday ; and his conduct was such throughout as might be expected fres a young man who was deeply in love with a yam' woman. (L laugh.) In the summer of the year 1660 the plaintiff's then mistress sod family re moved to New Brighton, and while there the plaintiff coa 'faintly received letters from the defendant expressing the warmest attachment for her, mad he from time to time also visited her at New Brighton. Mast of these lettere had bees lost, but there was one preserved. which polaiWy the defendant bad written to the plaintiff in the warmth of his attaehmeat, sad wietained • piece of pastry which was • probably his lint effort is vino, sad whisk had bees so MIDLAND RAILWAY. A special (Wharncliffe) meeting of the proprie ;ors , of the Midland Railway was held on Wednesday at Derby, Mr. Nutt, M.P., in the chair, for the purpose of con sidering end (if thought fit) approving of t e several bills now peaches; before parliament, with the following namely : " A Bill for the construction by the Midland Railway Company of a new line of railway between Leedom and Bedford, with trenches therefrom ; and for other pur poem.' " A Bill for enabling the Midland Railway Com pany to construct new railways and weeks, and to acquire additional lands in the West Biding of the county . of York, and in the caustics of Derby, Stafford, Warwick, Leioceter, Gloucester, the city of Wormater, Nottingham, the towosof Nottingham and Northampton ; and for other purposes." " A Bill to empower the Furness Railway Company and the Midland Railway Company to construct a railway to be called the Furness end Midland Railway ; and for other purposes." "A Bill for the construction by the Midland Railway Company of new railways from their Bristol and Birmingham line to the city of Bath, and the city of Bristol ; and for other purposes." " A Bill for making a railway from the Ashohureh and Brenham Rail way of the ilidhod Railway Company, in the pariah of St. Lawrence, Beecham, in the county of Worcester, to the Bedditch Railway at Redditch, with a branch to the West Midland Railway; and for other purposes." "A Bill for making a railway from the Bristol and Birmingham line of the Midland Railway at Steoehouse to Nails worth, in the county of Gloucester." "A Bill for a railway from Peterborough to Thermal, Wisbeach, and Suttee ; and for other " A proposed "Bill to enable the Kettering and Thrapstoas Railway Company to o:teed their authorised line of railway to Huntingdon; to change their name ; to authorise them to nee certain stations and portions of railway of the Great Heaters Railway Company and the Great Northern Railway Company; and to make traffic arrangements and other arrangements with those compote', and with the Mid land Railway Company and for other rPtees ." The CHAIRMAN said the meeting bad advertisement just read. There were, however, only two of the bills in which the proprietors of the Midland were directly interested, namely, the intended new line from Bedford to London, and the Furness and Midland line • the latter of which will be made joint! with the Focuses Company, and which will bring the • into the metre of the Lug- Leh lake districts. The other hills mentioned in the adver timmeet could not be dealt with that day, as they bad not L yet been through the House of Commons. They were lines, however, belonging to other companies, and only required the consent of the Midland promotes'', and would be brought forward in the regular way at the half-yearly sasetini Mr. Comm solicitor, then read the preamble of the Bed ford line, after which The Cwaranate moved the formal resolution empowering them to make the line from Bedford to London. The when it was first presented, contained a clause for a junc tion with the Metropolitan Railway, with the belief that it would be a good junction, and that theirs was the beet way of getting to it. Bat since the Metropolitan Railway had been opened everybody had been startled by the amount of traffic upon it, and the Midland came to Unrecorded*, that the Metropolitan had not room for any more pmeingers, as they were daily cerrying from 30.000 to 40,000. It there fore became a question of grave consickentioa with the di rectors of the Midland, before they asked for powers to go on to a line which was already very crowded. II the Metro politan had been a line with ordinary traffic it would have been a different thing ; but past impatience bad taught them that it would not be right for them to get that junction. (Hear, beer.) The bill for the Bedford line had excited great public interest, and was only before the committee of the Howe of Commove for three days, instead of three weeks, and was agreed to without calling upon the Midland Company's counsel to reply. (Chaim) The Rev. R. Ilartroarn, of Chelteohani, asked whether, if the line met two millions, they would have to mite the money at 4 per cent. The CHAIRMAN said the mode of raising the money would have to be determined by the shareholders, but no money would le required for some time to oome. The chairman also, in answer to the same proprietor, said they bad been paymg 90,0001. a year to the Great Northern for traffic over their line, whilst at the Isms time they were paying double that sum to the London and North Western Company. The opposition to the Bedford Bill by the Great Northern Company was on the ground that the line was unnecessary, and that if it were necessary they would make two more lines for them. This would cost a million of money, end the Midland would have to pay 5 par cent. upon it. (Hear, hear.) They would have had to pay interest opal it, it, sod yet not have an independent railway, and would have thrown away 36 miles of local traffic into London. (Hear.) Mr. HaDIXT said the estimated east of the line was 1,760,0001., sad yet it came out before the committee that it would cost 2,300,0001. The CHAIRMAN said he could not allow this mis-statement to go uocontradieted. They produced ten witnesses who ssiel 1,750,0001. would be the cost, and Mr. Cnbitt, the encloser to the Great Northern, admitted in. same on cross-examina lion. They had the evidence of all the scientific and prac tical men they could obtain. The resolution was then agreed to, and The CaallMLN Maid so popular was the line with the shareholders that he had received from proprietor' more than two millions of proxies in favour of the resolution, and ooh one, representing 4004 stock, against it. The email:mem then put the formal resolution for the Fumes* lioa, which was also agreed to, as was also the bill for the line from Btonehouse to Glourneter, the charms, ;larking that they had only offered to work Q. latter line when mad*. It went into the heart of the clothing district. The other las mentioned in the advertisement were Uwe Famed, end the meeting wu adjourned until the 6th of May.

COTTON GOODS. —Ma/warren, Aram 2.—This is net • regular market day, but still, to-morrow being a holiday, there has been • desire to anticipate business as much as possible, both on the part of buyers and sellers. Sellers of both yarn and cloth are very firm in demanding the advance of Tusday, but it checks business. In yarns for India a fair amount of business is reported. There is rather more confidence on the part of sellers, from feeling that to a 4reat extent the speculative lots both of yarns and cloths which have floated on the market from the end of August have to a groat extent been absorbed for shipment, owing to the recent heavy bond fide transactions on Indian account.
